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!

The sound of effort

[(Anonymous)]

This is more of a field report than a question, but in case anyone else is experiencing something similar I figured it would be worth posting.

After roughly 2 months into my daily SoP practice it became impossible to ignore the strain/pain in my throat afterwards; a disproportionate amount considering show short the whole ritual is. A bit of meditation and divination on the topic brought up the themes of being stuck/needing to let go, and energy build up. Vague, but it was a starting point.
For the following day's SoP I paused while facing West, my eyes trailing along the various blue items I happen to have in the area. With a rudimentary understanding that the throat chakra = blue, and the western direction I was facing along with everything related to invoking the powers of water were all very interconnected I figured if there was ever a time to address my throat tension, this was the moment.

With little more than the thought, "and...go!", everything about the use of my voice began shifting around, and if nothing else, made me realize how little I had been allowing myself to speak; how little air I had been allowing myself to breathe. There was also an immediate, noticeable increase in my sensory awareness of the elements during their invocation and banishing, as well as an increase in the overall energy coursing through me.

So for now I'm addressing my Gods with a shaky voice that's a little more raspy and awkward, and my attention is definitely more on my own voice than the powers I'm addressing, but I feel so much better.
Daily SoP is important! No excuses!

Excellent! You dealt with an energy blockage in your throat center -- that's very common, btw, as a result of the way our society humiliates children for speaking and singing -- and got it cleared and healing. Well done.

Not OP

Can you elaborate on how and why society does that, and is our society the only one that does that?

Watch the way children are treated in school when they behave like children -- i.e., lively, active, and noisy. Western societies do this because the point of school is to mass produce interchangeable parts for employment. Other societies by and large have different habits.
