Joshua Free first began by receiving personal mentorships from his early years and progressing through his entire life from various Christian Gnostics, Rosicrucians, Freemasons, members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, O.T.O. – Ordo Templi Orientis, A.A. – Agentium Astrum among others. He was officially initiated into the Pheryllt Druid tradition at the age of 12 and then installed to the third degree in Celtic Wicca.

He even started leading his own Gnostic Druid organization at the age of 12. At such an early stage of development, Joshua Free was heralded the youngest initiate to join the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids in the 1990′s, an international organization that New Age authors frequently site. In high school, Joshua maintained leadership of a small research group, the Elven Fellowship Circle of Magick (EFCOM) in Denver from 1998 until 2001 (under the name “Merlyn Stone“).

After becoming a controversial underground occult figure (better known as author, Merlyn Stone) that advocated Druidic Gnosis and diverse approaches to Druidry, he was unseated from all public positions while still a teenager.

Before returning to the mainstream, Joshua Free had spent fifteen years exploring esoteric sects of society, underground counter-culture and contemporary academia. Choosing a more individual path, preferring personal apprenticeships as opposed to direct membership in varying groups and organizations, his all-encompassing pursuit has been to unify the knowledge of the “metaphysical universe”.

On the Summer Solstice of 2008, the modern “Mardukite” movement was founded by Joshua Free and is currently in its third active year of operation. Its online presence is centralized around the NecroGate, the Mardukite Forum and Truth Seeker Press. Efforts have also been made to maintain a YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and MySpace presence as well.
