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.***

Love it! Duly added. What's in the flask of the failed scholar?
Actually, would you mind writing the short story with that answer?
One hand gets a ruinman's bar.
What else would you like?

My idea was that the hands would hold different things for every Lodge: things that are specially related to their expertise. Members around the world would know who came from which lodge by paying attention to the Toolset of the Badge wearer. Electrically talented wizards might hold a pair of needle-nose pliers or a Slide Rule. Historians, a scroll or codex. The failed scholar might have a coin of gold or silver, indicating the ability to earn a practical living outside of the Academy. Or a plumber’s wrench.

A Key, A Compass, A Plumb Line, A Rule — A Mask, A Pulley, the Cap of a Fool — A Lens, A Lute, A Needle and Spool –- A Drill, a Dung Fork, A Wound Ball of Wool….all for the love and the life of a Tool.
