Druidry HandbookIt's a little before 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 or comment 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 1.1 of The Magic Monday FAQ hereAlso: 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 field a lot of questions about my books these days, so I've decided to do little capsule summaries of them here, one per week. The book above on the left is my ninth published book, The Druidry Handbook. This marked a major turning point in my writing career as well as my spiritual path. In 2002, after several years of searching, I finally managed to make contact with the surviving members of the Ancient Order of Druids in America; I became a member in the spring of 2003, and at the winter solstice of that year was pitchforked into the hot seat as seventh Grand Archdruid of that order. The thing it needed more than anything else, in order to survive, was new members; a new website and some online publicity seemed to be helping, but I figured a book wouldn't hurt, and set out to communicate the basic ideas of the Druid Revival to readers. It saw print in 2006 and was the first book of mine to really hit the big time in terms of sales and popularity. If I had to do it over again I'd write a different book, but this one certainly did what I wanted it to do, and it's got a lot of enthusiastic readers; the cover I've posted here is the current edition, which is part of the Weiser Classics series.  If you're interested in giving it a read, you can order a copy here if you live in the US, and at your favorite book venue if you live elsewhere.

Buy Me A Coffee

Ko-Fi

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 either of the links above to access my online tip jar; Buymeacoffee is good for small tips, Ko-Fi is better for larger ones. (I used to use PayPal but they developed an allergy to free speech, so I've developed an allergy to them.) 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. 
 
Bookshop logoI'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 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!

***This Magic Monday is now closed -- that is to say, no further comments will be put through. See you next week!***
