Magic Monday
It'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. (Please note: Any question received after then will not get an answer, and in fact will just be deleted. I've been getting an increasing number of people trying to post after these are closed, so will have to draw a harder line than before.) 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 image? That's the third card in The Sacred Geometry Oracle. Card 3, The Line, when upright tells you that it's appropriate to continue in the direction you're going; when reversed, it warns you that you are crossing a line into unfamiliar territory and some things will have to be left behind. The oak leaves on the sides of the image tell you that this card belongs to the first third of the oracle, which corresponds to Calas, the principle of solidity and materiality.
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.
I'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.
***This Magic Monday is now closed. See you next week!***
Re: Polar plunge
(Anonymous) 2021-12-27 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)I immerse in Long Island Sound every month for religious purposes, though I am not a Christian so the blessings are probably not fit for your purposes. In the winter and early spring the water is close to freezing, with chunks of ice floating in it.
In my tradition, it is necessary to immerse the full body including the head at least twice, and raise the soles of the feet off the ground so that the water touches every part of the body simultaneously. Depending how cold the water is, you will not want to submerse your head a second time--it will feel Wrong, like you're going to die.
Don't worry, you won't die. Just do it.
Unless you're in the Arctic, the air will actually feel warm when you emerge from the water. That's good. Use that time to dry off thoroughly and then put on clothing, ideally a wool hat. Wool retains heat even when wet. Then go somewhere warm--sometimes hypothermia can set in an hour or two later, so be aware and make sure you pay attention if you start feeling cold or clumsy later on.
As long as you stay warm afterwards, you'll be clear headed and have lots of energy. Use it for good! Best wishes,
Ms. Krieger
