Card 3It'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. 
 
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!

Re: Hexagrams and Mercury

Right! I was referencing the Greater Ritual of the Hexagram on pages 149-151 of Circles of Power, 1997 edition, since the Lesser Ritual seems to deal with the elements. I see that according to the diagrams on pages 97-99, the point corresponding to Mercury is the lower left vertex of the upward pointing triangle in the Hexagram, so I’ll go with that as the point of origin for drawing the Hexagram of Mercury, going clockwise for invocation.

I’m wondering how I should structure my ritual. Would it be enough to invoke Mercury at all the cardinal points, vibrating HERMES at each quadrant, then step back to center, perhaps recite a brief prayer, and conclude with the Tau Cross (my answer to the Cabalistic Cross, based on a ritual of that name by John Opsopaus)? Or should I work up something more elaborate? I may be doing this daily for some time, and certainly on Wednesdays.

Where can I find the book the Hellenic Golden Dawn? I have not found it online.

JMG encouraged me to write such a book a few years ago, when I began developing this practice. Perhaps I should get started..?

P.S. - I’m the one who initiated this question thread.
