ecosophia | 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 here. Also: 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? I've decided to do another pass through magical personalities, and I figured I'd start with one of my own teachers. This is John Gilbert, with whom I studied the teachings of the Universal Gnostic Church, the Order of Spiritual Alchemy, the Modern Order of Essenes, and the Magickal Order of the Golden Dawn -- this last, of course, is the parent body of the Fellowship of the Hermetic Rose. This photo was taken in 2008 in eastern Tennessee at a Druid event there; it was the last time John and I met in person, though we corresponded via email and talked on the phone quite a bit after that.

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 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.

~~With that said, ask me anything!~~

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

Hmm, Wyoming is a tiny state with a very small higher education footprint. The only college that fits the description of this is Wyo Tech, a small for-profit automotive technology school (not a university--Wyoming only has one and it is still going strong and has tenure). They used to be owned by Corinthian schools with Wyomng Technical College campuses in many states. The government went after Corinthian for gainful employment infractions, forcing them to close or sell all their higher education holdings. The original Wyoming Technical College in Laramie was purchased by a different company, and reopened as WyoTech. This may very well have disenfranchised the old established faculty/staff, but that was not the driving force behind it--the federal government forced this because it felt students were getting charged too much and were not given the outcomes they were promised. Students at the Corinthian colleges are among those that will most likely get student loan debt forgiven.

Thank you for this.
It fits, since the talk was of computer science and technology sectors.
Given where I live, this rumor literally went around the world, so I would give my offering as much credibility as that.
Still it fits with the theme of decline.
