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? I've decided to do another pass through magical personalities, and I figured I'd start with one of my own teachers. This is John Gilbert, with whom I studied the teachings of the Universal Gnostic Church, the Order of Spiritual Alchemy, the Modern Order of Essenes, and the Magickal Order of the Golden Dawn -- this last, of course, is the parent body of the Fellowship of the Hermetic Rose. This photo was taken in 2008 in eastern Tennessee at a Druid event there; it was the last time John and I met in person, though we corresponded via email and talked on the phone quite a bit after that.
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!***
Re: Quieter and Quieter
1) Not much. I know he was influenced by the Symbolists and ran with William Butler Yeats, so it's a pretty fair bet that he was involved at least peripherally with occultism.
2) Whatever you like. There's no fixed rule, that I know of.
Re: Quieter and Quieter
I was going to try and work this last question out all on my my own, but then I realized I didn't know enough to make a solid call on it. So I leave what I have gathered so far.
I am calling a man about use of an unused agricultural lot in his possession that would be ideal for magical work. He previously allowed my group to use it for Lammas, but I am trying to arrange for us to use it long-term. He seems to be agreeable to this, but I want to make sure it works out as well as possible.
Due to his schedule, I will have to call him on either this Saturday or Sunday. Saturday is a 1 day for me, while Sunday is a 2 day. While neither of them are ideal for this, I would like input on which day would be best. I would guess that all hours would work decently for this undertaking except for Venus, Mars, and the Moon.
