Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

It's getting on 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. 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!***

I strongly suggest making your own. The feeling of "too big for you" is a test. You will learn much more by passing it than you will from spending 50 bucks online.

I made my own magical working tools when I was living in a slum town in Central California making about $100 per week if I was lucky. The pentacle was made from a wooden disk that cost about $1 at Michael's, with 4 $1.50 bottles of paint and a good pen (another couple dollars) to write the Hebrew characters. The chalice was a blue goblet I found at the local Good Will; if you can't find a blue goblet, you can buy a cheap wineglass and paint it blue, then paint orange over the blue-- again, paints are about a buck apiece. The dagger was a plain dagger that cost about $15 on Amazon, and was the most expensive item; again, after that you just need yellow and purple paint. The wand, finally, was an oddly-shaped dowel rod that cost a dollar or two at a craft store.

Making magical tools is always challenging, but the challenge isn't a problem for your magical development, it's part of it. Do them one at a time, do what you can, and don't expect them to be perfect. I promise you will not regret it.
