It's just past midnight, so here we go with a new Magic Monday. The picture is of Khaemwaset, the fourth son of the pharaoh Ramses II. Unlike his older brothers, who took up military careers, he entered the priesthood and became famous for his scholarship, his restoration of historic tombs and temples, and his mastery of magic -- so much so that stories of his occult exploits were still being told a thousand years later, and have been preserved in two documents dating from well after the Greek conquest of Egypt. Under the name "Setne Khamuast" -- the closest translation of his religious title and name yet available in the early 20th century -- he was an important figure in the legendary history of Dion Fortune's Fraternity (now Society) of the Inner Light. 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. 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.
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 below to access my online tip jar.

***This Magic Monday is now closed -- and yes, this means you. See you next week!***

Date: 2019-11-05 12:19 am (UTC)I have decided to keep the sand of the cauldron of fire forever, without replacing it. I was afraid the cat would have vomited over it, but it didn't.
Since I started to use the altar I was deeply annoyed by how it was imbalanced, because the earth has fire over it, but the water has "nothing."
So, as the final comment on my journal today I wrote I was relieved the cat didn't barf over my, I wrote it like this, "earth/fire" cauldron. And then I suddenly realized that the water has air over it... I probably would not have noticed it ever, if it wasn't for the cat. Air being there all the time should be obvious, but... Better late than never, I guess.
