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!***

And Plutonian dictatorships are those weird dictatorships which pretend to be a government of the people. This also explains a lot of what's happening now: those Plutonian dictatorships, as Plutonian Phenomena, had the tendency to run to extremes via unchecked positive feedback loops, and the typical Plutonian ruthlessness to be willing to obliterate any threat to their power: religion, which reaches beyond the world; community, which provides other sources of the raw materials for survival; education, which would teach people how to recognize what was happening; real skills, which would allow people to opt out of some of the consumer economy, and thus reduce our dependence on the system; the family, which provides a link to the past and to the community, and thus a way out of the toxicity the dictatorship seeks to impose, and makes it easier to see it for what it is.

This helps explain why the societies in the Western World have had such a long standing issues with community organizations, religion, their own educational systems, and the like: all of them are threats to the ability of the Plutonian dictatorship to be able to implement its extreme agenda.

Additionally, this is a fairly rigid and destructive ideology at the heart of it: an anti-human and anti-community ideology. As long as Pluto was a planet though, it ruled this system of dictatorship, while now, this system of dictatorship is collapsing on an internal contradiction, being pulled partially towards the Uranian ideological dictatorship (this seems to be where the left is going) and towards becoming what it pretended to be (this seems to be where the right is going).

Hmm...
