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. With certain exceptions, any question received by midnight Monday Eastern time will get an answer. Please note:  Any question received after then will not get an answer, and in fact will just be deleted. I've been getting an increasing number of people trying to post after these are closed, so will have to draw a harder line than before.) 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. Also: I will not be putting through or answering any more questions about practicing magic around children. I've answered those in simple declarative sentences in the FAQ. If you read the FAQ and don't think your question has been answered, read it again. If that doesn't help, consider remedial reading classes; yes, it really is as simple and straightforward as the FAQ says. 

The image?  That's the twenty-fourth card in The Sacred Geometry Oracle. Card 24, Progression of Roots, when upright tells you that the situation is unfolding into new territory and the old rules don't necessarily apply; when reversed, it amplifies this by warning you that you have no clue what's about to happen. The sun in the upper left corner of the image tells you that this card belongs to the final third of the oracle, which corresponds to Nwyfre, the principle of spirit and meaning.  We've completed our passage through the first two of the basic root functions of sacred geometry -- √3, the principle of the vesica piscis and the equilateral triangle, and √2, the principle of the square and its diagonal -- and now we're working with the √5, the seed from which the Golden Section unfolds and resolves all back into unity. 

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!***

Planes

[(Anonymous)]

Seeing the post on planes makes me think, where does one place electromagnetism? Or gravity? Or radiation? Or light for that matter? These don’t seem to be purely physical, but certainly do affect the physical plane. But I have a hard time putting them in the etheric plane too. Where’s the dividing line between these two planes?

That's why I differentiate between the material and etheric planes. If you do that, the seven sub-planes of the material plane work out as follows:

7th (lowest): solid matter
6th: liquid matter
5th: gaseous matter
4th: electromagnetism
3rd: gravity
2nd: weak nuclear force
1st (highest): strong nuclear force

In every set of sub-planes, the lower three have the nature of substance, the middle one has the nature of energy, and the upper three have the nature of space. It all works rather nicely. Then in the etheric plane the lower three sub-planes are the chemical ethers, the middle one is the life ether, and the three higher are the light ethers.

Thanks, J.M.G.
You are one of my “go to” authors for many things; another favorite of mine is the Hindu thinker, David Frawley.
He says (and I am not sure I would agree) that the astral body is “electrical” in nature, and the soul is “magnetic” in its nature.
Does this somehow sound feasible to you?
Thanks,
E.S.

That's a fine old bit of terminology from 19th century occultism! I've never been sure how literally to take the labels, but it would be worth experimentation.
