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 trace, as far as I can, my own occult lineages in photos. Juliet Ashley, whose photo featured in the Magic Monday two weeks ago, was a student of at least four significant occult teachers, and this is the second of them, none other than Carl Jung. (Yes, I know he managed to fool people into treating him as a psychiatrist, but he studied alchemy, filled a book with visionary experiences, and used to cast horoscopes of his patients to help diagnose their issues.  The guy was an occultist, full stop, end of sentence.)  Ashley studied with him in Zurich in the late 1930s, leaving Switzerland just in time to avoid being caught there by the outbreak of the Second World War. Back in the United States, Ashley reworked the symbolism of the orders she headed to fit Jung's mandala teachings, and incorporated his ideas in her teachings in various other ways, some quite subtle. 

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!
