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. 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.
***This Magic Monday is now closed -- and yes, this means you. See you next week!***
Re: Fish Goddess?
Date: 2019-11-05 03:36 am (UTC)It's possible, though by no means certain, that one of the rising deities of this era (not sure whether they're a new pantheon or an old one I can't place, but suspect the former) has mermaid/fish associations; one character I'm keeping an eye on for backing from the divine level has those associations, and one of my old radar sites on the conspiracy fringe has been going off on mermaids/sirens for years now. So that might be what's going on. (Did the fish-goddess in question have blue hair? And does your husband remember the hair color of the other girl?)
Otherwise, I have no idea.

Re: Fish Goddess?
Date: 2019-11-05 05:10 am (UTC)I asked my husband and he can't say what colour their hair was but I suspect this is the usual male lack of picking up details. I asked if either might have had odd-coloured hair such as blue or green but he couldn't say.
