It's a little after 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 picture? I'm working my way through photos of my lineage, focusing on the teachers whose work has influenced me. Before Gladys Plummer, last week's honoree, became head of the Societas Rosicruciana in America, her husband George Winslow Plummer was the head of the order. For all practical purposes, he was also the founder; his teacher Sylvester Gould, whom we'll discuss next week, started the ball rolling, but Gould died suddenly in 1909 and Plummer picked up the pieces and went from there. Plummer was an enthusiastic Freemason and had received Rosicrucian initiation from Gould, but not a complete system of teaching or initiation; he created those by close but not uncritical study of the Rosicrucian and occult literature of his time, and tried to find common ground between occult teaching and science. He was also a devout if eccentric Christian, and ended up being consecrated as a bishop in an independent church with connections to the Orthodox churches. Though I don't share his religion, he's one of the role models from whom I've tried to learn.
Buy Me A Coffee
Ko-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.

Salt, tips, advice
Date: 2022-12-19 04:52 pm (UTC)I also want to ask for healing energy and protection. Trying to start a new chapter with the solstice and new moon. See if after my description below, what might come up for you, any kind of advice:
I had an unbelievable few years and cannot explain what I attracted / what has been following me. I hate to say the “matrix,” but I lack any other vocabulary—everything reached a climax when I was viciously stalked, raped, tricked, and definitely something/someone/both(!) invaded all my personal boundaries and space, it was like watching reality splinter before my eyes, like seeing thru the matrix and the strange, obscurity of what is possible. Why? I have no resources that make sense of what I’ve been through. Truly like a demon in many forms, which I’ve never believed in or experienced before. Precognitive dreams that happened exactly. People saying and doing things like they are on a timer, like it’s controlled. Absurd “coincidences” that are not at all coincidences, and I originally thought, “well, synchronicity / signs are good, right? I’ve been doing this for years, it must be a new development in my spiritual growth.” Nope. An insidious web of lies, deceit, illusion and no one telling the truth, when I deeply know something is wrong; people telling me I’m crazy and I’m not. I feel like my spiritual training and practice has been wiped clean because I cannot fathom how I have experienced these outrageous situations, how I believed I was safe and protected, but became very vulnerable and trapped, and super manipulated before I knew it.
Do you have any advice for further protection, solstice / new moon rituals I can do. I have done vinegar soaks many times. I don’t understand how these people, and why, they went to such extremes to hurt me, and on a deeper level if it’s a kind of entity against me. I suppose it’s a game. I don’t want to play. I’m moving and starting over on NYE and am praying for a new chapter. Even wondering if you have advice for how to pray. Very grateful for the help.
