Magic Monday

astrologer at workIt's getting on for midnight, so we can proceed with a new Magic Monday. Ask me anything about occultism and I'll do my best to answer it. Any question received by midnight Monday Eastern time will get an answer. (Any question received after then will not get an answer, and will more than likely just be deleted.) If you're in a hurry, or suspect you may be the 143,916th person to ask a question, please check out the very rough version 1.0 of The Magic Monday FAQ here.

The illustration?  An astrologer at work. I've begun studying financial astrology, using the writings of Walter Gorn Old (aka Sepharial) and David Williams as initial guides. Since my mundane astrology project has gone very well so far, with several hundred subscribers, I figure it's time to start expanding the range of things I
 know how to do, and I feel rather like the guy in the image -- well, except I don't wear a ruff. 


 I've had several people ask about tipping me for answers here, and though I certainly don't require that I won't turn it down. You can use the button above to access my online tip jar. If you're interested in political and economic astrology, or simply prefer to use a subscription service to support your favorite authors, you can find my Patreon page here and my SubscribeStar page here. 
 
Bookshop logoI've also had quite a few people over the years ask me where they should buy my books, and here's the answer. Bookshop.org is an alternative online bookstore that supports local bookstores and authors, which a certain other gargantuan corporation doesn't, and I now have a shop there, which you can check out here. Please consider patronizing it if you'd like to purchase any of my books online.

And don't forget to look up your Pangalactic New Age Soul Signature at CosmicOom.com.

With that said, have at it!

***This Magic Monday is now closed. See you next week!***

Thanks for bringing this up!

I've had a round of violent nightmares and anxiety attacks this week, banishing and meditation cleared that up but I also remember how to do those practices and they really do work well. I should probably sit down with my palms together for a few minutes too. As you say, they are masked under an apparent simplicity but they are quite powerful once you get the knack of it.

Would you mind saying something about Vak Shuddhi?

I'll do better and let Sadhguru himself speak about Vak Shuddi.

Check out Comment #291 from the prior Open Post.

Oh dear.

It appears the page I linked to of the chart of the 5 vayus has been taken down. I guess the guy running the site didn't like me linking to his page. Still...I agree with JMG...kinda silly to put something up on the internet then expect only your own disciples to be the ones to read it. You put it up on the web it's released out in the wild. Even Sadhguru laughed about that. He says he knows if he asks people to not post things he's talking about 20 minutes later everything he said will be up on social media. He just rocked back on his heels and had a belly laugh over that. :)

I suppose it's best if people just google Vayu and see what comes up.

Thank you! That is one thing I hate about Isha Foundation. Sadhguru is legit and he delivers, he let me know that pretty clearly but the rest of it sometimes leaves me scratching my head, that is an unfortunate consequence of the size of the thing. The good is that he is available in many ways that doesn't involve playing the conga line for the ones that actually listen what he is saying. He is really, really good at making use of what people think they want to achieve his efforts. Fortunately, I think that is ending soon and the dross will fall off once he decides to scale back, stop the show and teach again before he leaves, as you said he has been a critic of his own foundation before and will act upon it.
