Magic Monday
Nov. 12th, 2023 11:49 pm
It's right on 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 or comment 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 1.1 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 field a lot of questions about my books on magic these days, so I've decided to do little capsule summaries of them here, one per week. The book on the left is the current edition of my fourth published book, Earth Divination, Earth Magic. This was the first of two books I've written so far on geomancy, an intriguing form of divination using sixteen four-digit binary numbers -- okay, they're combinations of one and two dots, but the mathematics are binary. It was one of the most common methods of divination in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, but dropped almost entirely out of use thereafter, and important parts of the system got lost. I had to learn Latin and find a couple of rare texts --one of which is translated in this book -- to figure them out. This book originally came out from one of the big Neopagan publishers, and their marketing people apparently didn't bother to read it; they pushed it on Pagan bookstores claiming that it was some sort of Wiccan feng-shui, and of course most of the copies got returned to them. It was the first of my books to go out of print. Fortunately it (and my other book on geomancy -- that's a story all by itself, which we'll get to in due time) found their audience despite the misplaced efforts of its original publisher, and it's now selling steadily with a different press. If you're interested, you can get a copy here if you live in the US and here if you're anywhere else.)
Buy Me A CoffeeKo-Fi
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 either of the links above to access my online tip jar; Buymeacoffee is good for small tips, Ko-Fi is better for larger ones. (I used to use PayPal but they developed an allergy to free speech, so I've developed an allergy to them.) 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 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, and no further comments will be put through. See you next week!***
