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. Last week's photo was of Manly P. Hall, the third of Juliet Ashley's teachers; unlike the first two -- Edgar Cayce and Carl Jung -- Hall has a lineage that can be traced further back. When he was 18, enthusiastic, talented, and wet behind the ears, Hall arrived in California and spent several years studying with Augusta Foss Heindel, the head of the Rosicrucian Fellowship in Oceanside, CA. Born in Ohio, she moved to California as a young woman and became a skilled astrologer. In 1896 she met Max Heindel, then visiting from Europe, and they became close friends. After Heindel returned to California in 1909 he and Augusta renewed their friendship and eventually married; she taught him astrology, and he taught her the Rosicrucian teachings he had received in Europe. Max died in 1919, but Augusta kept the order thriving until her death in 1949, and her astrological lore as well as the Rosicrucian teachings found their way to Hall and, through him, to Juliet Ashley and John Gilbert. 

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!
