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 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 thirtieth card in The Sacred Geometry Oracle. Card 31, the Sphere, when upright tells you that the possibilities before you are much bigger than you realize; when reversed, it tells you that you're completely missing what's going on. 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.
***This Magic Monday is now closed. See you next week!***

(Anonymous) 2022-07-18 10:30 am (UTC)(link)Your writings are peppered with hints and clues which I have been absorbing and filing away somewhere in my mind, and which pop out when needed. For example, you recently posted a link to The Canon Stirling, which I began to read and one line gave me another AHA moment.
Anyway, I appreciate the enormous time you have taken to give us the opportunity to study occult texts with you, and for sharing with us your knowledge and wisdom to light the path.

Also, a couple of weeks ago on MM, there was a discussion that included some links to resources on ancient Near Eastern religion, including Sumerian: https://ecosophia.dreamwidth.org/188526.html?thread=31687534#cmt31687534
Cheers,

I don't know if anyone who participates has much practical experience with Mesopotamian religion, but the folks there are all very open-minded and willing to share what works and doesn't for them practically speaking, and one of the core ideas of the community is to learn from the practices that work for other traditions to get ideas for what your own tradition might benefit from.
Cheers,
Jeff

The priests who do the podcast think that the Mesopotamian gods are demons, but it doesn't matter-- they are extremely knowledgeable on the subject. You can listen for all the details about ancient Mesopotamian religious practice, and ignore the part where they say "...and that's a bad thing."
