Collective energies in the past 6 months

I'm interested in how others have been perceiving some of the pervasive energies in the world in the past six to eight months. Around Yule it felt like there was a growth in darker energies and something on the edge of becoming manifest. And during the (northern hemisphere) Spring, especially leading up to Beltane, there was a strong and growing current. Although the natural energies upwelling like rising sap are always noticeable then, I noticed it more this year, at least with Satania. However since June, and especially since a bit after the Solstice, it's like there has been a flatline, and I have noticed especially all the patriarchal "normie" energies as really present. In fact, these "patriarchal normie energies" seem like they've been expressing strongly, having a sort of "revenge", since about the year 2001 (after the 90s which seemed to be striving for something more Female-led or Goddess-led) but also especially since about 2012 or so. Has anyone else noticed the same? People also seem really inactive on the forum lately.
