Post #19. The Great Re-set. The Great Ritual Fire of 1666: The Beast’s Year and the Forging of a Temple.

History tells us that the Great Fire of London was an accident, a tragic but random event that began in a baker’s shop on Pudding Lane. The occult history of London tells a different story. It tells of a deliberate, brilliantly executed, and terrifyingly successful act of ritual magic. The Great Fire was not an accident; it was the fiery, alchemical culmination of a century of chaos, the great Rubedo (reddening) that would purify the city and allow it to be rebuilt as a new and more powerful kind of black magic temple.
The Numerology of Destruction: 1666
The timing of the fire was no coincidence. The year 1666 was a year of immense numerological significance. The number 666, the number of the Beast from the Book of Revelation, had been a source of apocalyptic anxiety for centuries. For the hidden architects of London’s destiny, this was not a number to be feared, but a number to be used. It was a source of immense, chthonic power, the power of the earth, of the material world, of the beast itself.
By orchestrating the destruction of the city in the year of the Beast, the magicians were performing a powerful act of sympathetic magic. They were aligning their work with the darkest and most powerful forces of the Christian apocalypse, not to bring about the end of the world, but to hijack its energy for their own purposes. They were, in essence, baptising the city in the fires of hell, not to destroy it, but to consecrate it to a new and darker power.
The Alchemical Symbolism of the Fire
The fire, which raged for four days, was a perfect alchemical working. It began in a baker’s shop, in the heat of the oven, a symbol of the alchemist’s furnace. It started on Pudding Lane and ended at Pye Corner, a symbolic journey from gluttony to repentance, from the raw material to the finished product.
The fire consumed the old, medieval London, a city of narrow, winding streets and timber-framed houses, a city that was still, in many ways, a chaotic and organic entity. It was the final purification, the burning away of the last vestiges of the old, corrupt matter that had been broken down by the plague. The city was reduced to ashes, to a blank slate, ready for the imposition of a new and more rational design.
The Controlled Burn: Evidence of a Conspiracy?
Was the fire truly an accident? The official story has always been one of negligence and unfortunate weather conditions. But there are troubling questions.
The Inexplicable Spread: The fire spread with unnatural speed and intensity, often leaping against the wind. Eyewitnesses reported seeing the fire break out in multiple, unconnected locations simultaneously. This suggests a coordinated arson campaign, not a single, accidental blaze.
The Failure to Act: The Lord Mayor, Sir Thomas Bloodworth, famously dismissed the initial reports of the fire, saying, "Pish! A woman might piss it out." This catastrophic failure of leadership allowed the fire to take hold. Was it incompetence, or was it deliberate inaction, a clearing of the way for the destructive work to be completed?
The Prophecies: The fire had been predicted. Astrologers like William Lilly had warned of a great fire in London. Nostradamus had written of a "fiery doom" in the "year of sixty-six." Were these just lucky guesses, or were they evidence of a known plan, a great magical working that was an open secret in certain occult circles?

The Phoenix Moment: Rebirth from the Ashes
The fire was not an act of pure destruction; it was an act of creative destruction. It was the necessary prerequisite for a new creation. The symbol of this process is the phoenix, the mythical bird that is consumed by fire and then reborn from its own ashes, more beautiful and more powerful than before. The Great Fire was London’s phoenix moment.
It destroyed the old, medieval city, with its chaotic, organic layout and its deep roots in a Catholic and feudal past. It cleared the way for a new city to be built, a city that would be the capital of a new, Protestant, commercial, and imperial age. The men who would oversee this rebuilding, figures like Sir Christopher Wren, were not just architects and city planners; they were Freemasons, initiates of a new and powerful magical tradition, who understood the esoteric principles of sacred geometry and who would embed those principles into the very streets and buildings of the new London.
The Great Fire of 1666 was the crucible in which the modern city of London was forged. It was the final, terrifying, and brilliant act in a century-long magical drama. The old temple was destroyed. The new temple was about to be built.
In our next post, we will explore the rebuilding of London after the fire, and reveal how Sir Christopher Wren and his network of Masonic architects designed the new city as a massive magical machine, a New Jerusalem built according to the principles of sacred geometry.
