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 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.

With that said, have at it!

***This Magic Monday is now closed. See you next week!***

Last winter, I bought a Northern Tradition set of prayer beads from Raven Kaldera via his website. They are handmade and come with two and a half pages of short prayers.

I appreciate he’s controversial, but have no problem with that, as the beads are beautiful (I bought wood) and so are the short prayers that correspond to each bead.

It takes me about 15-20 minutes to pray each bead, and I do it every night. At this point, it’s from memory. I’ve found this practice very rewarding.

Best to you,
OtterGirl

Glad to hear it! I've been interested in those prayer beads for a while now, but I've held off on the notion of "Is buying these really what I most need to do right now?"

I'm glad to hear from someone who has gotten good use out of them.

Thanks,
Jeff

I can think of a few ways Raven Kaldera could be contoversial. Which ones did you have in mind?

I've seen him attacked from multiple angles. Heathen Reconstructionist types think he just makes things up on a whim; things which are not "historically accurate" beliefs and practices. Secondly, those who are something other than far-left of center in their social views might find an extreme "ick factor" to the types of practices he endorses.

Me too. I had him construct two sets for me - one for Roman Gods and one for Jupiter. I had composed the prayers. I use them daily as well. So I second using his service.
