Aspects of OccultismIt's getting on for midnight as I write this, so we can proceed with a new Magic Monday. Let's start things out with a quote again: 
 
"Meditation is by no means an easy thing of achievement. It is the calisthenics of the soul, and leads on to its acrobatics and athletics.  When we first embark upon its practices we shall find that when the first enthusiasm wanes, the mind itself will resist the practices as with a deliberately willed antagonism.  This corresponds to the stiffness of the muscles of an athlete who is out of condition." 
 
That's from Dion Fortune's Aspects of Occultism, one of the books of hers that did an enormous amount to shape my understanding of magic and the occult.   

Ask me anything about occultism and I'll do my best to answer it. Any question received by midnight Monday Eastern time will get an answer. (Any question received after then will not get an answer, and will probably be deleted.) 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.
 
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 below 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.
