ecosophia | Magic Monday

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-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.

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.

~~With that said, have at it!~~

Hello,

When my wife was a teenager, her best friend killed herself. That girl had a lot of problems apparently. My wife is convinced she was a abused by her father.

It left my wife with the feeling that she didn't do enough to help.

And even today from time to time, my wife has nightmares about the girl. At one time, she was afraid the ghost of that girl would occupy our unborn child.

Is there anything I might be able to do?

It's very unlikely that the ghost of the girl is still arond; having died as a teenager, she'll have needed only a modest time to process her memories and go back into incarnation. My guess is that your wife still has a lot of stress and tangled emotions around that experience. She might consider doing journaling to sort through her memories and feelings, so she can let them go.

I thought you said suicides tend to get stuck in a "waiting room" for however long they would have lived had they not killed themselves...

Oof -- that's right. I wasn't thinking about the implications of suicide. (Serves me right for trying to field questions and cook a meal at the same time.) It's still more likely that your wife is dealing with psychological issues rather than with a ghost; and the psychological issues should be dealt with first.

I'm the one who brought up the issues of suicide: Sorry, I should have mentioned that I wasn't the OP! I just had a few questions about it myself a while back because one of my friends committed suicide, and remembered you saying she might be waiting for quite a while, so I had wanted to make sure I understood the material here.

Also not the OP but a related question if I may. I too have a very close friend who committed suicide a couple of years ago, age 40 something. Supposing she is stuck in the limbo as described, what can I do to help her in any way?

Prayer is always appropriate for the dead.

You can type while cooking, or cook while typing? Either way, I’m impressed, especially at our age. What were you having?

One time when Sonkitten was little I was heating his baked beans for lunch, filling the sink, listening to a phone solicitor, and something else I’ve forgotten. I couldn’t do all that at once now.

Sonkitten came in holding a can of baby powder, with that eager experimental gleam in his eye that all parents know means potential disaster. Trapped on the phone, I yelled, “DON’T POWDER YOUR BEANS!” Absolute silence on the other end of the line. So now you know the magic incantation that will silence a pest caller!

Lunch today was an Asian rice dish with pork and vegetables. I like the kind of cooking where I get things going and then go do something else for five or ten minutes, and in this case that went into responding to comments.

Start writing DON'T POWDER YOUR BEANS on random walls, in restrooms and the like, and see how long it is before you find the phrase online with some breathtakingly obscene interpretation attached...
