What happens when the hidden origins of the mafia don’t just trace back to secret brotherhoods... but to forbidden spiritual teachings, Gnostic mystery schools, and the Divine Feminine?

In Part 2 of Occult Mafia, Joel Thomas of Free The Rabbits follows the trail from the Spanish Garduña into the rise of the Neapolitan Camorra, uncovering how these criminal brotherhoods may have inherited far more than blood oaths and codes of silence.

This episode dives deep into the alleged Gnostic influences surrounding the Knights Templar, the Johannite traditions of St. John, the Apocryphon of John, the Monad, Barbelo, and the emergence of the so-called “Divine Feminine” in occult initiation systems. From Mithraism and Manichaeism to Mary Magdalene traditions, secret elect orders, and esoteric teachings hidden beneath Catholic symbolism—this rabbit hole gets darker than ever.

Was the shift from knight... to godfather... also a shift from sword... to secret doctrine?
