#11 - The Serpent Still Speaks: Manifestation and the Gospel of Self

In this explosive launch to the Manifestation Series, Leah rips the mask off the most seductive lie in modern spirituality: you can be like God. From Mesmer’s occult “medicine” to manifestation coaching and Christ consciousness, this episode exposes how ancient rebellion has been rebranded as healing, empowerment, and enlightenment. The serpent still speaks—only now he’s cloaked in abundance, energy alignment, and quantum language.

Leah pulls from Eden, the Watchers, the Book of Enoch, and modern wellness culture to trace one unbroken deception: real power accessed through rebellion, not revelation. If you’ve ever dabbled in astrology, root medicine, or energy healing—or been seduced by the false gospel of self—this is your wake-up call.

“The wisdom was real. The power was real. But it came from the rebellion—not from revelation.” — Leah Steele
