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. With certain exceptions, 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 hereAlso: I will not be putting through or answering any more questions about practicing magic around children. I've answered those in simple declarative sentences in the FAQ. If you read the FAQ and don't think your question has been answered, read it again. If that doesn't help, consider remedial reading classes; yes, it really is as simple and straightforward as the FAQ says. 

The image?  That's the twenty-ninth card in The Sacred Geometry Oracle. Card 29, The Dodecahedron, when upright tells you that spiritual forces are involved in the situation; when reversed, it warns you that you will have to embrace personal change in order to deal with what's happening.. The sun in the upper left corner of the image tells you that this card belongs to the final third of the oracle, which corresponds to Nwyfre, the principle of spirit and meaning.  We've completed our passage through the first two of the basic root functions of sacred geometry -- √3, the principle of the vesica piscis and the equilateral triangle, and √2, the principle of the square and its diagonal -- and now we're working with the √5, the seed from which the Golden Section unfolds and resolves all back into unity.


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 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!***

This reminds me very much of the material in Peter Mark Adam’s book The Game of Saturn, wherein is detailed what may have been a ritualized attempt of certain powerful individuals to return life after life, death after death, in order to maintain their control over the wealth their families had accumulated. It’s a creepy but fascinating story.

Given that there are some very powerful and exceedingly wealthy individuals who occasionally wander out into the sunlight to tell the rest of us what’s wrong with us, and how they’re going to improve us (even if it kills us), and that some of these individuals appear to be made of balsa wood and crepe paper, almost as of they’ve been cheating death for so long that Death finally just gave up, one can’t help but wonder what sort of means are employed (beyond the best life extension technologies money can buy), to keep these ghoulish-looking people outside of the tomb.

I can’t help but draw a connection between these ideas, and what JMG wrote in his last Ecosophia entry, and some creepy gnostic ideas. For a sort of consideration of the overlap between technology and the malevolent side of occultism, here’s a neat video interview of Joaquin Flores

https://youtu.be/aCV24UTPgKY

… wherein Flores suggests Elon Musk is a sort of Archon, entrapping the light-essence of the deceased in some sort of artificial medium. I don’t think Flores is speaking metaphorically. The title of the less-than-twenty minute video is Joaquin Flores: Elon Musk Serves The Dark Forces. Make of it what you will!

Anyway, thanks. Have a great July 4 holiday.

Will this merely be dying completely unprepared for it, or is there something worse waiting for them?
