Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

It's midnight, so we can proceed with a new Magic Monday. 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. (Any question received after then will not get an answer, and will likely just be deleted.) 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 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 other 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. 

And don't forget to look up your Pangalactic New Age Soul Signature at CosmicOom.com.

With that said, have at it!

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

***Ahem. People have continued to try to post questions, despite the post being closed. I have deleted these. Follow-up comments to existing questions are fine, but other than that, please save it until the next Magic Monday.***

Greetings JMG,

I have some questions that have been puzzling me; About a year and a half ago I started with a Druid practice of SoP, meditation and divination. I am solo working trough your DH and DMH. I know this is really slow going but I am at the point where I am really diving into the grove rituals and magical applications of it.

1. when I started with my SoP practice I crudely translated it into my native tongue. All but the names of the saints and angels. Up until this point, when I needed the DH version for the groove ceremony I just read it out as you gave it. Would it be alright to translate it? If yes, are there any parts that one could translate, and some other that should be kept as is?

2. in your last post you alluded to a lost tradition dealing with fusing of the two currents. Is this not what one is supposed to achieve with and for oneself with the grail working?

Best regards,
V

1) You can translate anything except the names of deities.

2) Yes, and that's the one part of the old tradition I think I've successfully reconstructed. There was once much, much more, involving fusions of the currents for other purposes.

1. Thank you, I shall go on translating immediately, as it takes time to commit anything to memory.
2. I am going to continue this, and the thread from above, here. So Druid magic is all good, but if one wanted to get really serious about it, sooner or later one would have to branch out into GD. Or are there options in Druid magic?

Re: Further steps

There are options in Druid magic. The Dolmen Arch is one of those. Once you get to a certain point in magical practice, furthermore, you can begin creating your own workings, and you can go just as far that way as you choose.

Thank you. I shall be going back to my bumbling solitary practice. :-)
A pleasant Monday to you and all the readers!

Could you tell more about this old tradition?
I think there is not much on in in the book itself.
