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.

The illustration? A Rosicrucian emblem from the Societas Rosicruciana in America (SRIA). It depicts the process of prayer. The outermost circle is the Absolute, the ultimate impersonal godhead; the large triangle is the Supreme Being; the smaller triangle is the Solar Logos, the cross is the Christos, and the rose is the individual soul, which is rooted in the Absolute but blossoms in the world of manifestation. The arrows show spiritual influences flowing in from each of these toward the individual soul. 

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 (that is, any further attempts to ask questions will be deleted without mercy and without a response). See you next week!***

***Um, folks, closed means CLOSED. I will be deleting any further attempts to post to this entry.***

Odr

[(Anonymous)]

Looking at the Wiki page on Odr — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%93%C3%B0r — something hit me: his name literally refers to the divine fury that Odin is the master of, suggesting he's perhaps a personification of the primal divine force.

Freya is his wife, suggesting Freya has an intimate connection to that primal divine force — which makes sense, as she's the goddess of magic and the seith trance, and is something of a divine ideal of the magician and seithwoman.

The Prose Edda, but not the Poetic Edda, has Odr leaving her, and her crying tears of crimson and gold over the loss, and wandering the world to find him again. The Prose Edda was written well into the Age of Pisces and well after the silencing of the oracles, so perhaps this reflects that latter development.

In other words, perhaps Freya's loss and search represent the distancing of spiritual forces from humanity and the need ever since for occultists to scour the world for lore that will reconnect them to the Divine. This also gives a different meaning to Freya's promiscuity: occultists and magicians are to take wisdom where we can find it, not by committing to One True Way.

Hmm! I like this. A good colorful use of mythological language.
