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!***

2) From my humble European point of view (don't know where OP lives), it could be the agreement I perceive in American culture about living in the best possible country that possesses endless potential - people are inspired to project their highest dreams and expectations as the "base" of their culture, where other folks have a solid "base" - roots on which some expectations can grow and flower and some might not.

In my view, every European country has some kind of cultural discipline that permits venting a bit of your shadow, so you don't get stressed out by all your positive aspirations: etching humour in Britain, rhetorical fencing just for the pleasure of it in France, ritual tantrums in Spain, digestion jokes in Catalonia, a culture of complicated laziness and corruption in my native Austria, acceptance and transcendance of suffering in my mother's native Russia.

Another point might be that when you live in a small country, it's easy to blame all the bad stuff on someone else, or to resort to some kind of cultural masochism. Maybe Americans are overburdened by all that responsibility of being overly great.

I imagine it’s also getting harder and harder to insist we live in the best country in the world.
