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 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-ninth card in The Sacred Geometry Oracle. Card 29, The Dodecahedron, when upright tells you that spiritual forces are involved in the situation; when reversed, it warns you that you will have to embrace personal change in order to deal with what's happening.. 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 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!

I've always sort of figured the Vanir were the gods of the original inhabitants of the lands the Teutonic peoples invaded/settled in, during the migration age. And the Aesir were the deities worshipped by the elites and their warriors, with the Vanir the gods of the conquered people/producers/peasants.

Synchronicity comes through again with another fascinating and timely-for-me thread.

1) Over 40 million Americans have at least some German ancestry, concentrated in the northern Plains area (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Americans).
So I wouldn't be surprised if the Germanic gods took an interest in this part of the world.

2) I was told to embark on a program of Bible study this January, which continues apace. This thread's comments about connections between YHWH and Mesopotamian gods are intriguing and definitely add to the mix to think about. (BTW, Blue Sun, thanks for the tip about Michael Heiser in a previous MM.)

3) Perhaps Team Odin will act as the grass fire to burn off all the weeds, then Team Mesopotamia will lead the regrowth of the clean, new green grass.

4) JMG, thank you again for this awesome forum!
