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!***

Memorializing the pandemic

[(Anonymous)]

I heard a discussion on NPRadio yesterday about some young adults lobbying for the establishment of a permanent memorial in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This would be, by Fortune's definition, clearly a magical act: preserving/adjusting our consciousness of the pandemic (which (at this time) (seems that it) is waning (in our part of the world)). What sort of unintended consequences would you expect from such a work?

I'm thinking that we're most likely to codify the wrong lessons: heroism of overworked health-care workers and the glory of vaccines, for example, rather than seeding of the vaccine into nursing homes and communities, and the value of vitamins. This will be no place to meditate on the inevitability of death.

PS: I forgot to mention: there's a "Victims Compensation Fund" aspect to this "memorial", too. And not just for the estates of those who died, or the medical bills of those who survived, but, you know, EVERYBODY who was in some way affected!

After all, they argue, we did it in response to the Great Disaster of their parents' generation (9-11, 2001), so why not something for them, too?

Sigh. Seriously? I wonder what they'll do if they ever get to face a real crisis.

If? Isn't it a matter of when at this point?

They could die first.
