Traditionally, manuscripts were written on a variety of materials, depending on the time period and geographic location. The Xegis Codex is written entirely on an iPhone. I write it in the notes, and then transfer the texts to blogs.
The Codex began its life on Blogger at xegis.blogspot.com and was then transferred to Substack after Google began deleting posts when some slight grammatical or contextual edits were executed.
The writings of the Codex are still ongoing. I enjoy writing the texts directly onto my phone because the style that I aim to evoke, inspired by the spirit and the traditions of ranters, heretics, mystical anarchists, and millenarians, feels a bit like I am DM’ing into the void to try to explain myself — or something beyond myself.
The Codex can seem somewhat cryptic, complicated, and inaccessible because each chapter is set up as a separate Substack publication, and these are often entirely unique accounts who follow and sometimes restack each other or comment on texts. This has the effect of looking like a community, but this is not done to create illusions or to deceive, as I am being transparent about it here. The idea is to create a framework or a blueprint for my philosophy in the hope that it could, in time, catch fire.
At the time of this 2025 update, there are now nine chapters. The first eight of them can be accessed by clicking on the Substack community links. However, as I have stated, edited and more finalised, collectable versions of these texts are now available via xegis.eth on Mirror. Chapter nine, which is called “NOXIA (Seth-9)” is currently being written, and aims to further expand on, and develop the core architecture of the Codex, whilst part 5 (ÆXO13.Research) continues on-chain at the same new location.
The chapters are listed as follows;
ÆXO13.Research (ongoing, now via mirror.xyz/xegis.eth)
First Light of The New Earth [ZISE]
NOXIA [Seth-9] (new, in development)
The Codex contains multiple conceptual threads, and the writing is often dense, unstructured, fluid, labyrinthine, and self referential, navigating through different styles that combine essay writing with poetic free-verse and streams of consciousness. The subject matter includes ufology and alienology, metaphysics, esotericism, exopolitics, accelerationism, speculative science and technology, reactionary philosophy, new age spirituality, and cultural theory.
You honestly don’t need to read all of it unless you really want to go deep. You don’t need to read it chronologically either. The best thing to do would be to click on a Substack publication and read the top posts, then click on another one, and read those top posts. If you find an entry that speaks to you, you can then search it out via xegis.eth on Mirror, and if you like, mint that entry directly to your wallet, which of course supports me and my work directly.
If something clicks, and you feel a spark, then dive deeper; you may find that something significant is being revealed, something important.
Enjoy. It’s time. 🔥👁️🔥
