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!***

On 3), I have not tried with the Sacred Geometry Oracle, but I have occasionally asked such questions of the Runes and Ogham. I have more usually found it useful to ask something like "what do I most need to know further about this reading?" or "Is alternative A the right interpretation rather than B?" Such questions usually take the form of a second three-card spread something like "context, interpretation, outcome", or else draw one more card/stave. When I have tried more baldly asking "did I get this right, yes/no?" I more often seem to get more equivocal answers. I tend to chalk this up to the spiritual powers I ask for help in such matters telling me to suck it up and learn to go with my own interpretations, but that might vary depending on what oracle you're using and/or any powers you pray to for help.

Cheers,
Jeff

Jeff, thanks a lot!

From my experience with the Sacred Geometry Oracle, I’d say it doesn’t suffer fools gladly - or at the very least, it doesn’t suffer me asking foolish questions gladly… ;-)

I’ve had some replies (to other questions) where I swear the oracle was making fun of me (in a nice way), and replies which clearly said “C’mon, seriously - why are you even asking this when you already know the answer?”.

In contrast, my (as yet very limited) experience with the confirmation questions has mostly given me answers which were muddy at best. I’m not sure yet if I just need more practice with them, or if this is the oracle’s way of saying “yawn - we will not even deign to mock this”… ;-)

Let’s see how I can apply your experience, and if that improves things or not. Worst case, by trying these questions in different ways, I’ll have learned what doesn’t work… :D
