Magic Monday

Card 27It'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 hereAlso: 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-seventh card in The Sacred Geometry Oracle. Card 27, The Golden Proportion, when upright indicates that you can expect perfect success; when reversed, it tells you that your own actions have brought about your failure. 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. 
 
Bookshop logoI'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!*** 

People Who Aren't People

Hi JMG, I have a friend with highly advanced energetic senses. She tells me she can sense health problems in people and other, less definable spiritual qualities. One thing she told me in particular is that there are "people who aren't people" roaming the world. They look like people but she perceives no human energetic signature from them at all. I asked her if she'd ever tried to identify or investigate one of these "people" upon seeing them, but she said she finds them very unsettling and had a strong intuition that doing so would be a bad idea.

Does this square with anything you or any readers have experienced? Could these be something disguising itself as human, or actual humans subject to some kind of possession or who are able to etherically mask themselves in some way? Thanks for hosting these Q&As.

That sounds eerily like the Radiance.

This book published in English earlier this year by a Swiss Anthroposophist discusses exactly what you are describing. I haven't read it, so I can't remark on its quality, and it mainly draws from Rudolf Steiner, who certainly got some things wrong. But perhaps it is a starting point: https://steinerbooks.presswarehouse.com/browse/book/9781912230808/Are-There-People-Without-a-Self

Did she notice these "people who aren't people" before the mass vaccination campaign started? Because if not, then it fits disturbingly well with my sense that some people who take the vaccine die on a higher plane, even if they didn't die on the physical one...

That line of reasoning smacks of dehumanization--the seed of atrocity--to me.

Hear hear! Thank you for saying this. I had the same thought but didn't know how to phrase it appropriately.

My conversation with her was several years before COVID; she's been seeing them her whole life.

Franz Barron makes mention of this sometimes happening. I believe his example was elemental beings inhabiting drowning victims. There was also an episode of the podcast 'invoking witchcraft' on this subject.
