It describes how some modern traditions like The Star Game represent esoteric Hermetic and alchemical mysteries, contrary to claims by 'inquinators' seeking to discredit them. Despite this, such traditions will continue to be taught privately from adepts to initiates.

    Era Of The Inquinator

    Given the undiscriminating and widespread use of the medium of the Internet as a source of information
    which is sometimes reliable but often unreliable, and which mass medium is now favoured by
    propagandists, we humans have entered a new phase of development: the era of the inquinator. {1}

    This is the era where, for example, the esoteric and the numinous - and their mysteries and their effluvia
    {2} - have often become and are increasingly becoming not only obscured by the propaganda spread by
    ideologues in the service of their ideology, be it political or religious or otherwise, but also sullied by
    inquinators who do not understand kalos kagathos let alone what it means and implies in personal terms
    and who naturally turn to the Internet to search for its meaning as they do for terms such as 'inquinator'.

    For the medium of the Internet has become a tool of the hoi polloi; which tool and its manipulation can be
    taught and learned and used on behalf of any abstraction, any ideology or for any materialistic or
    egotistic purpose without any reference to the supra-personal, the balance, that for millennia has often
    restrained our hubris. Of course, it is probable that only a few will understand what is meant here.

    One historical balance to the use of such an inquinatious tool was the personal quest - ἄνοδος - of
    Hermeticism and Alchemy, involving as they did various stages of practical learning and personal
    transformation; for the quests were an épistémé, ἐπιστήμη. That is, a means to change the φύσις, physis -
    the character/nature/perception - of an individual, as well described in v. 25 of the Poemandres tractate of
    the Corpus Hermeticum:

    "Thus does the mortal hasten through the harmonious structure, offering up, in the first realm,
    that vigour which grows and which fades, and - in the second one - those dishonourable
    machinations, no longer functioning. In the third, that eagerness which deceives, no longer
    functioning; in the fourth, the arrogance of command, no longer insatiable; in the fifth, profane
    insolence and reckless haste; in the sixth, the bad inclinations occasioned by riches, no longer
    functioning; and in the seventh realm, the lies that lie in wait." {3}

    However, this ancient wisdom although kept alive in both practical and theoretical ways by a few modern
    Adepts has been and is being sullied by inquinators who for ideological (and sometimes personal) reasons
    have described both that practice and theory by pejorative causal and wholly inappropriate abstractions
    to divert attention from the modern traditions which convey such wisdom.

    This is most obvious, at least to us, in the esoteric effluvia that is The Star Game: a modern
    representation of hermetic, alchemical, and other mysteries as intimated in texts such as The Noetic Star
    Game {4} and Julius Evola, The Seven Fold Way, And Hermeticism. {5}

    For, contrary to the evidence, the inquinators have, through their mastery of propaganda and by using
    the Internet as a primary tool, not only described those modern traditions as "neo-nazi" and as "anti-
    semitic" {6} but also as advocating dishonourable deeds totally at variance with the Greco-Roman ideal
    of kalos kagathos. {7}

    This inevitably resulted in three things: (i) in the hoi polloi believing their inquinations, (ii) in The Star
    Game - as a modern, unique, apolitical, effluvia of hermetic and alchemical traditions - receiving little or
    no attention outside of certain closed esoteric circles; and (iii) in the esoteric knowledge and traditions of
    past generations not becoming as widespread as they otherwise might have been. {8}

    Yet even in the Era Of The Inquinator such a modern épistémé as The Star Game is being and in the
    future will be taught in the traditional individual manner, from Adept to Initiate, as will the modern
    practical quest that is the apolitical Hermetic Hebdomian Way. {9}

    {2} Esoterically and metaphysically the term effluvium is, as Myatt explained, preferable to emanation:

    "in order to try and avoid any potential misunderstanding. For although I have previously used the term
    emanation in my philosophy of pathei-mathos as a synonym of effluvium, emanation is often understood
    in the sense of some-thing proceeding from, or having, a source; as for example in theological use where
    the source is considered to be God or some aspect of a divinity. Effluvium, however,  has (so far as I am
    aware) no theological connotations and accurately describes the perceiveration: a flowing of what-is, sans
    the assumption of a primal cause, and sans a division or a distinction between ‘us’ – we mortals – and
    some-thing else, be this some-thing else God, a divinity, or some assumed, ideated, cause, essence,
    origin, or form." The Way Of Pathei-Mathos – A Précis, https://davidmyatt.wordpress.com/2014/09
