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.

Date: 2021-12-06 05:05 am (UTC)I've received my copy of The Way of the Golden Section and have ordered After Progress, and though I won't be following the exact path of Golden Section any time soon (I'm knee-deep in DMH right now), I'm very much enjoying it. I have a couple of questions related to that, and some other more general ones, this week.
1) In a previous MM, when I described troubles with travel on Wednesdays, you suggested planetary charity to Mercury, so I'm going to give that a try for the first time. I've based my approach mostly on Chris Warnock's website and some comments on previous MMs. Do you see anything I should change in the following?
a. Planet: Mercury
b. Charity: I'm at a bit of a loss here - Wikipedia or charities that help with education come readily to mind, but I wonder if it might be better to find something more travel-related?
c. Amount: $64
d. Number of Donations: 8
e. Day: Wednesday
f. Hour: of Mercury (the first or eighth 12th of the time from sunrise to sunset on each Wednesday)
g. Candle: an Orange "spell/chime candle" allowed to burn all the way down
h. Hymn: Say the Orphic Hymn to Mercury after lighting the candle
i. Place: On the altar where I light candles/incense/lamp for my regular prayers to deities
2) If you're sick, is there a threshold short of "I can't get out of bed" where it's not really worth it and/or actively a bad idea to do your daily magical work?
3) In a previous MM, you talked about the "set dressing" of Hindu language more-or-less required by Western occultists in the heyday of the Theosophical society. Besides becoming thoroughly familiar with pre-20th century Western Occultism and Hindu/Yogic philosophy, any tips on how to distinguish between genuine inspiration/cross-pollination and terminology borrowed for "marketing" reasons?
4) I got my copy of The Way of the Golden Section this past week! As I'm still working my way through the DMH, I won't be taking it up as a complete system any time soon. I'm wondering if the following exercises ought to be compatible with following the DMH:
a. the morning exercise (stretch, breath, and affirmation)
b. the evening exercise (with topics taken from the DH/DMH)
c. the solar plexus exercise
5) I've been doing the SOP with Anglo-Saxonized names following the Norse list of deities you provided here on Dreamwidth. I see that in The Way of the Golden Section you have a list of Anglo-Saxon deities that makes some slightly different choices. I know that the SOP is extremely flexible with deities/powers/concepts invoked for each gate, but if I'm considering changing which deities I call on at which gates (after ~6 months), are there any factors I should think about besides divining and praying on it before deciding?
Thanks very much for your time and attention,
Jeff

Date: 2021-12-06 05:10 am (UTC)1. As I’m nearing 2 years of consistent practice in the GD tradition, I find myself increasingly feeling guilty due to not going above and beyond the daily practices, not expanding the range of things I know how to do, even though I’ve been very consistent with the daily practices themselves. If feels like I’m settling for the bare minimum (LBRP, MP, divination, meditation, and some specific practices related to the book I'm currently working through), which still takes me a good hour a day, and in addition to a day job, a social life and other interests and hobbies, I find myself not having the time and energy for much else. However, I’m still highly interested in growing as a magician. Do you have any advice?
2. Somewhat related to the above question, but another issue for me is that, while I’m seeing plenty of benefits from my practice, I don’t feel like I’ve “made it” yet as a magician. I haven’t had a true “TSW” experience. I haven’t contacted any spiritual entities or done anything fantastic or what have you. I recognize that such things come with time, but it's unclear to me when if ever it will happen. For the time that I’ve invested in this pursuit, it feels that I should be further along. Life is short and I’m impatient to get as much done as possible while I'm here. What do you suggest?

Date: 2021-12-06 05:13 am (UTC)I hadn’t considered “Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius” in conjunction with the conversations we charcoal burners have about the strange origins of the Green Wizards’ Benevolent and Protective Association when we get together with the unicorns to play cards on first and fourth Saturdays…
Perhaps the next thing we should discuss is what our stories about a poor Ruinman who walked away and became the first Green Wizard tell us about ourselves and our world…?
Please advise.
Your response was, “I recommend discussing it with the unicorns!”
So, I did. On Saturday night, I brought the stories up with the usual card not-so-sharps. In Ohio, unicorns are the predatory type – they look like very large, long-snouted mountain lions, (they drink from human cups with reed straws) with long, fluffy, semi-prehensile tails, and iridescent polar bear-like fur. (A tweenaged girl is about their weight limit for a rider, thus THAT legend.) The toes of the unicorns’ forepaws are quite dexterous, and their dew claws are extensible for use as a thumb, so they can shuffle and hold cards. They also like to ante up by tiddlywinking our wooden poker chips with their retractable claws. Any that land in the beer belong to the mug holder.
The unicorns tell me that the stories about the GWB&PA are about rejecting the losses caused by the end of carbon and healing by building a new organization based on the forms tossed aside over the last five centuries. Anti-nostalgia leading to anti-hauntology, if you will.
Then I asked my staves what our stories about a poor Ruinman who walked away and became the first Green Wizard tell us about ourselves and the world.
Ngetal, reversed. A need to heal.
Walking home, I saw a rabbit, so I meditated on the rabbit or hare. When I asked my staves what to notice about this.
Ngetal, upright. “Beginning of heroic deeds, that is, healing.”
Then I picked up “Tlön.” It was open to the last page, and a line jumped out at men. “A scattered dynasty of solitary men has changed the face of the world.”
I think we might be on the right path for the right reasons… but… would you and the commentariat grant me the traditional favor of the fraternity of slide rule users and check my work.

Date: 2021-12-06 05:14 am (UTC)Thanks to everyone who has donated books for my library. Right now the physical library is on hold, so I am asking people to stop donating books, at least for the moment. As many of you might already know, I rented a commercial space for the last 11 years in Naperville, Illinois for my music lesson studio. Originally I envisioned combining the music lesson space with a subscription library. Since 2020, running a small business out of a commercial space has become too expensive to sustain. Though I always seem to maintain a core of approximately 20 loyal students at any given time, 20 students is a far cry from the 40 - 50 needed to pay the bills and clear the most modest of profits. Thanks to my own Ogham divinations and help from fellow Ecosophian and horary astrologer Andrew Skeen, I made an informed decision to collapse my Studio and teach out of my own home in a nearby town. I’ll be making the final part of move by February when my commercial lease expires.
Please pray for me to find a suitable way to make the physical library happen. For now, it is at http://patreon.com/athenareadersclub as an online version. There are lots of great occult and rare books available to patrons in the continental US.
Druidry gave me sufficient antennae over the last six years to discern that renting a commercial space in the existing climate will only serve to exhaust my resources and snuff out my ability to run a library at all. Commercial rents are at all time highs. I sincerely hope it will get easier to rent commercial space in the future. For now, I’m collapsing to avoid the rush in hopes of rising again in a better climate for small-scale entrepreneurs. I am fairly sure that this is the right thing at the right time. Again, thanks everyone for all your help and book donations so far.

Date: 2021-12-06 05:29 am (UTC)1) I have a question about meditation. I went through some of my meditation notes for the past year to see what would need revision cross-checking with the knowledge lectures and I noticed that I seem to prefer a "constructive" approach to meditation. As an example, in the first meditation I would imagine the seed, I would then try to build up upon that as I usually do when I think things through by examining the contents of what would most closely link to the topic from the things that I already know. Some time ago I mentioned that when following a particular thread I kind of felt something that would link next but that I couldn't really tell what it was besides a nebulous something that would be there if I knew a word for it. I couldn't really figure out what to do there. Reflexing on this I think this is because I am doing the meditation "actively", instead of passively by letting thoughts rise. How can I become better a letting images rise? Perhaps that is why I couldn't figure out the next link, because I didn't have the contents to describe it but by "listening" it might come?
2) I've been getting nudges towards understanding "Love". But to me, perhaps out of the heavy sucrose marketing, love feels like dripping honey. However, some people write of Love as a "force" and as an apprenticed to magic that description sounds more congenial to me. What have you found helpful for understanding this notion as an occultist?
3) Why is it that some magical workings have a distinctive signature of the magician? It seems to me that there is a play between the magicians aura and the magic that flows through him in the same way that a draftsman has a particular way of making lines by his muscle memory that is the average of the movements he has made before. Doesn't this imply that the magic you can do is very tightly limited to what you've become and what you have been able to integrate?
Thank you!

From:Question Phrasing
Date: 2021-12-06 05:40 am (UTC)Are there best practices for phrasing questions to oracles?
Sometimes when I ask a question in the format "Should I do X?" my tarot cards throw it back at me, as if to say "I don't know, what do you think?" Of course, the question of whether or not I "should" do something depends on a lot of subjective factors: whether I want to; which of the available options I prefer; whether I feel the outcome is worth the cost (effort involved, possible downsides).
On the other hand, asking more specific questions might lead in the wrong direction. I can ask "if I do X, will I get result Y?" The answer could be a clear "yes," but I haven't asked about possible downsides or better options that may be available.
So, what's an open-ended way to ask an oracle for general advice on a particular situation?

Date: 2021-12-06 05:48 am (UTC)There was a conversation a few MMs ago about risks of opening up teachings in a way that Israel Regardie did by publishing Golden Dawn material and in a way you open it in your books for several traditions.
I, for one, am immensely grateful to you for all the public work you do and I don't know how I would navigate the world of magic without your help and guidance. I am sure there are many more people who have similar feelings towards yourself and other people who make these teachings public. Before that discussion about the risks and possible karma for this kind of work I was happily aware only of my side of the picture where I only see the benefits I receive. Now, I am more than curious to know more!
1. What kind of risks are there for making this information public? What can go wrong? I understand that someone might want to use it for less than noble goals but I doubt they'd get past the Watcher to get enough power for anything too malicious. There is also a chance to go too far out of balance, particularly if there is no guidance available for correction... Anything else?
2. What measures can be put in place to prevent or reduce those risks? I understand that this is what the flake filters are for. The obligation we take in the Ovate Grade initiation of the CGD is also neat. Any other examples (that you'd be willing to mention publicly?)
3. Any examples of karma that one could incur by making teachings like this public?
Many thanks once again for everything you do!

From:Meditation
Date: 2021-12-06 05:54 am (UTC)Is the mental training taught in Mouni Sadhu's books [i]Concentration[/i] and [i]Meditation[/i] compatible with the training of an occultist in the western tradition? I found [i]Concentration[/i] seemed to lean really heavily on the idea that the natural world is not real and needs to be escaped to the "real" world beyond manifestation. It seemed very Buddhist/Christian.
1) Maybe I'm overreacting, but will his training make my mind become really terrible at thinking just like those people who lobotomized themselves with "mindfulness meditation"?
2) Will it interfere with my druidical aspirations of connecting to the spiritual foundations of the natural world by focusing my mind too heavily on the unmanifest?
I'm interested in Sadhu's books because my CGD meditation still seems indistinguishable from normal intense thinking and I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

From:after-death process
Date: 2021-12-06 06:07 am (UTC)A member of my family who had been in declining health for several months, took a turn for the worse a few weeks ago. During these months we spent more time together than usual and deepened our relationship. They went into hospice care on the night of Friday, November 19 and died this past Friday afternoon. I was told of the passing a couple of hours later. I lit a candle for them that night with no special ceremony.
Tonight is well into the third day of the period between the first and second deaths and I don't know what if anything to do, think about, or watch out for. I have some of Dion Fortune's books, but not Through the Gates of Death. I have access to your first Druidry Book and the DMH. The only relevant text from my ancestral tradition that I have much familiarity with is Ecclesiastes.
During the past few months, I sent blessings and love to this person, and made extra offerings to deities that I have relationships with. I continued on with this, feeling a fairly strong connection with my relative, after they went into hospice care. They lingered longer than anyone expected and I finally realized that I should tell them not to stay on my account. Since Thursday, radio silence and no dreams about them, which does not surprise me.
Do you have any advice for me?

Date: 2021-12-06 09:30 am (UTC)I have a couple of child-related questions for you:
1) My wife is pregnant (first trimester), and I have recently had some strange dreams where I am with what is our daughter in the dream (we don't know the baby's sex as yet). In the dreams, she is around 12 or 13 years old and disarmingly intelligent - in the sense of her saying things that I don't quite understand, or are from a completely different perspective to what I'm expecting. I don't remember any specifics unfortunately, just the overall feel of the dream, and a sense of "this person's intelligence is far, far beyond my own". Both my wife and I are reasonably smart, so there may be a bit of wish fulfilment going on, but I have wondered if I'm meeting our unborn child in advance? Is there any way to tell or find out? Despite several things which could have potentially been an issue, my wife actually got pregnant extremely easily, so I am also wondering if this child really *wanted* to be born to us as well?
2) My wife's sister desperately wants to get pregnant as well, and she and her husband have had no success for a couple of years, sadly. However, they keep returning to their house to see a heron perched on the roof, and are miles from any bodies of water. Is there anything to the "storks carrying babies" myth, and could the presence of this heron be taken as a good omen?
Thank you.

Date: 2021-12-06 09:32 am (UTC)On the very last page of Sane Occultism, where she writes that the character of the adept is that of "a soldier-scholar dedicated to the service of god" also includes this passage: "But, like the soldier, being under discipline, his is without responsibilities, and consequently he has in him something of the joyous and carefree nature of the soldier on leave. His needs are simple, and he knows that Those who command his service will see to it that they are supplied. The child in him remains unrepressed, and when he relaxes the bent bow of his psychism, he reverts to the child."
My question Is about this last sentence. I've spent a lot of time journalling on the theme of the puer aeternus and reading Marie Louise von Franz, and exploring how I am affected by this archetype, because it seems that my own occult practices are forcing me to confront the eternal child within me, as evidenced by events in daily life. Yet Fortune's quote has flummoxed me, because she is saying that the child shouldn't be repressed, and even embraced. Does she mean that the eternal child should be brought into conscious awareness? Hmm, I do remember von Franz writing about the danger of going to the other extreme and losing the child completely, and becoming overly cynical. So perhaps this is what Fortune is pointing out the dangers of?

From:Banishing negative energy in a room
Date: 2021-12-06 09:38 am (UTC)A person close to me has been seriously depressed - while at their home I did an energy reading using Tarot and found a strong negative energy on one side of their bedroom. I asked them permission to place a jar of salt along that wall, but they asked me not to, as they think such a thing is nonsense.
My question is could I do sphere of protection ritual there in that room, with the purpose of banishing the negative energy? Is there any part of the ritual that should be modified to achieve this?
Also, do I need to ask their permission before doing this ritual in their home? I know in general permission is necessary, but since this is regarding their living space and not them personally, I am unsure.
Thank you,

From:Virginity
Date: 2021-12-06 10:19 am (UTC)I was wondering if losing one's virginity has an effect on the other planes, particularly the astral body?
Modern culture would have us believe that, aside from being a rite of passage, having sex for the first time, assuming there is no conception involved, has no biological effect whatsoever. However, from having friends who I've known since childhood (male and female), you can somehow tell when they first have sex - it's a subtle overnight change in personality. I know from my own experience, having lost my virginity relatively late at 19, I suddenly found I had no interest in Lego and other toy-like entertainment and decoration (eg. I got rid of the Iron Man action figures in my room...). I also know that two or three of my friends still have not lost their virginity 10 years later, and without meaning to pass judegment, they have retained somewhat child-like hobbies and attitudes (though possibly that's confusing cause and effect!).
I'd guess something about opening up the aura to female/male influences (or just to another person's influence) must make a difference.
On a more horrible level, is this be why child sexual abuse can be so harmful, as it prematurely opens up the aura before it is fully developed?
Thanks.

"Don't worry about it. The intention of my working is that if you didn't pay for it, you won't benefit from it. Since you can't even remember which books they were, it's a pretty fair guess you did't get much from them!"
I actually want to buy books of yours (that I've deleted) other than the two whose names I can't remember, but I'm a bit confused about the working. Given that I don't remember the names of these two books, I won't be able to buy them, and thus the effect of the working will continue. This would, then, nullify any benefit obtained by reading even those books of yours whose names I remember and wish to buy. I am very keen on buying them as even though I've read pirated copies of them, they have completely changed the way I look at many things, so I can only guess as to the possible benefits accrued by legally buying them and reading them. That's why I want to ask you this - is there anything else I need to do, or am I missing something here? I'd greatly appreciate any help.
I wanted to ask in the previous post itself, but I thought it would be better to ask as a Magic Monday question, hence I'm asking here.
2) I've also downloaded Ioan Couliano's Eros and magic in the Renaissance, W. B. Yeats' A Vision as well as one or two other books of his whose names I can't remember, as well as two of Dion Fortune's books (one of them was an occult novel). However, after learning that your books have the working built into them, I decided to delete the copies of these books as well, just in case they carry some magical working aimed at those who obtain them via piracy of any kind. If they do, and deleting them wasn't enough, is there any magical advice you'd recommend? I have zero experience of doing any magical practice - I just wanted to read up on them, particularly Couliano's book.

Date: 2021-12-06 11:19 am (UTC)Looking at some of the newsletters that currently call themselves astrology based, I see some use Elliot Wave and Gann - Robert Miner provides a very nice simplified actionable approach to Elliot wave and Fibonacci analysis, and he has won the robbins futures trading contest a few times- the real deal, if you want a quick primer on those subjects.
I look forward to seeing your work in financial astrology.
