Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

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-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. 

 

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 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!***

In regards to 3., I commented rather snarkily to some friends that if Pres. Biden is the price for the recent Supreme Court decisions, I for one am satisfied with the deal.

Which got me thinking on the subject of blowback from the anti-Trump spells. Not necessarily causing the Supreme Court decisions, that seems to have some causality issues given how long the tenure of some Justices has been, but perhaps demoralizing the protestors so the leaked opinion and the actual decisions didn't lead to the sort of riots we all expected? Is that in line with what we might expect as blowback results from that sort of spell?

I've been wondering ever since the decision was leaked about the sheer feebleness of the Democratic reaction. No riots, not even any impressively large protests -- I'm not sure if it's blowback from the anti-Trump spells, or the awkward fact that a lot of people on the leftward (and pro-vaccine) side of things are having health problems right now, or what, but it's interesting.

The problem with trying to gauge if something's a function of blowback is that spells generally work by means of coincidence, and they can make good use of any coincidence that comes to hand. So long as the end is what's desired, the means can be anything...

In light of this, I happen to know a few people who were in the intersection of left-wing politics and magic in 2016, who made a very interesting working known to me (one of my strengths from a strong and very well dignified Pluto is that everyone assumes I am on their side), which they implied was being done at length by a large number of people. These were also people with the technical chops to do some very impressive things, but they hadn't done the inner work needed to recognize how badly a working done for the restoration of the rule of law and government by the people could blow up in their faces.

Ever since then, I've wondered if the radical changes to the Supreme Court's rulings, which is suddenly interpreting the constitution a lot more literally than usual, might be related...

Oh my. Yes, that could indeed blow up in their faces, if they didn't take the time to find out whether the laws of the land and the attitudes of the people actually supported the kind of society they wanted to live in.

Something else has occurred to me as well: I did the equivalent of running away from the crazy as fast as possible when I found out they were doing that working, but they fairly quickly from what I've been able to glean they went full woke. What just hit me is that the combination of extreme rigidity, utter lack of self awareness, and total lack of any kind of tactical or strategic sense that the woke display are driving the implosion of the current system.

It's thus possible that the woke are the blowback from workings like this....

That makes enormous sense. The managerial class and those who aspire to that class were the people most offended by Trump's presidency; they claim to favor the rule of law and government by the people, but in fact they want the rule of unchecked bureaucracies and government by only those people who agreed with them. So, like so many people who don't think through a spell before casting it, they're getting what they asked for rather than what they want, and they're getting it through transformations in their own consciousness and behavior.

I just reviewed what I wrote down about that working and saw another creepy element to it: it included a call for the gods to curse those who pretend to support democracy, but really work towards a dictatorship....

So what you're telling me is that these people had absolutely no capacity to examine their own beliefs at all.

Oog. Magical power combined with a serene conviction of one's own rightness is a really good way to turn yourself into a punching bag for the Lords of Karma to work out on...
