The word “conspiracy” is being conjured up a lot lately. It is being pulled out of a lot of different hats in an attempt to come to grips with what is going on within our society.

What I’d like to attempt with this presentation is to give an overview of Wokeism and some of its history nested inside a set of metaphors drawn from the Christian scriptures, like those sets of nested Russian dolls. I’ll be using insights from, Rene Girard, Jordan Peterson, James Lindsey, Gil Bailie and Joseph Pearce.
