Why are there no good books about druids or nature magic?

For better understanding of Christian metaphysics I prefer Saint Maximus the Confessor.

Critical analysis of (If possible) unseen passages of prose is a good place to start I think. That is (or at least used to be) the conventional way of both gauging and developing a capacity for sensitive, insightful reading. The route to pseudo-intellectual masturbation is an amateur outside-in approach imo, looking to shoe horn theoretical concepts etc from your very large database of knowledge instead of working from the text and its context.

>there isn't a "wider materialist paradigm".
Yes there is. Modernists like you, whether you are the Marxist type or the SLIGHTLY different classical liberal type, all assume a materialist worldview and you cannot even consider the possibility of thinking outside of it.
That is the problem. In fact the problem started with nominalism. Nominalism set the stage for the anti-truth agenda of modernism.
If you deny that there exists a transcendent metaphysical Truth, if you deny Platonic Forms and essentialism and you say that everything is just arbitrary collections of particles then everything falls apart. Nothing means anything anymore when you go down the nominalist path. Nothing has an essence. There is no such thing as anything anymore except whatever we choose to call something.
This is why people today obsessively call everything a "social construct". That is what happens when you follow the assumptions of nominalism.
Nominalism is a lie.

Liberal midwits like you think you have a monopoly on intellectualism but you are all a bunch of pseuds and frauds. What you actually have a monopoly on is academic institutions, not intellectualism.

About ten minutes because I have superhuman intelligence desu!

When you lack God in your worldview, everything inevitably falls into dialectical tension and conflict because you do not see the Logos that holds everything together in its proper order and context and transcends the "problem" of multiplicity vs unity.
Platonic Forms are quite literally real and they exist in the Logos, the mind of Christ, the second Person of the Trinity.

Everybody believes in things that are not physical and cannot be explained empirically or rationally. It is a natural human tendency. This is why atheists who reject God make up new things to believe in, such as their social forces spooks, systemic racism, toxic patriarchy, etc. If they actually followed the purely empirical and rational worldview that they pretend to have then they would not believe any of that shit. The new systems of today are not entirely new inventions, but more like a change in the order of things. Instead of starting with the metaphysical and God, modern secular people start with the material and extrapolate vague wishy washy, pseudo-metaphysical ideas from that. They see the world through a wrong lens that gives them a backwards paradigm. When you get things out of their proper order, it all falls apart.

Explain why this is bad. Explain how he is factually wrong.
You can't because he is right.
