Toward Ecosophy

Modern popular occultism is Neptunian. Notice the way it popped into being promptly after the discovery of Neptune in 1846 -- Spiritualism surfaces in 1848, Lévi publishes his first volume in 1854, and away we go. Occult lodges, by contrast, are Uranian -- they really became a major force in the runup to the discovery of Uranus in 1782 -- and folk magic is Saturnine and thus has been around most of forever. So, yes, the pattern we're discussing is Neptunian, but there are other ways of practicing occultism that don't suffer from the same kind of disastrous blowback.
