ecosophia | 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 lineage in photos. We're still tracing Juliet Ashley's end of the lineage. Two weeks ago I posted an image of her fourth teacher, Arthur Edward Waite, the Golden Dawn alumnus who passed onto her the rituals that became the foundation for the Fellowship of the Hermetic Rose. Waite, in turn, got his knowledge from the founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Last week I posted an image of one of these, the redoubtable William Wynn Westcott; this is Westcott's partner and rival in the project, Samuel Liddell Mathers. Another Freemason with a passion for the occult, and like Westcott a genuine scholar and mage, Mathers didn't have the organizational skills to keep the order together once Westcott stepped down from the leadership, and the Golden Dawn promptly blew itself to pieces in the squabbles that followed. Mathers remained in charge of one of the fragments thereafter, and he and his branch of the order will appear again once I get into some of the other ends of my lineage.

PayPal tip jar link

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 link above to access my online tip jar. (Dreamwidth is having trouble with crosslinks to other sites these days, thus the absence of the usual button.) 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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I wasn't going to talk about this, but it seems to fit in with all the other comments.

Firstly, regarding the covid mania demons vs angry god discussion, I think obviously it's an angry god. The logic is just so, as you say, precise. A society obsessed destroying everything for short-term profit ends up injecting billions of healthy people with a dangerous medical treatment for short-term profit, possibly creating - instead of stopping - a dangerous contagious illness, but nobody cares about results, only profits.

Secondly, an entity's been standing next to my bed for the last few weeks. Normally I can just give things like that a shove and they go, but not this one. Prayer, archangels, etc. don't seem to make any difference. IMHO he's not a ghost, and not a supportive and engaged spirit guide, and he doesn't seem to be malevolent. I don't know what he is. But he will not go. I asked the trees and they didn't actually seem too concerned. It's just coming up to a year since my dad died, so I don't know.

So, anyway, my previous conclusion about an angry god is, as I'm sure you know, very depressing.

So I'm not sure. Do you think my entity is: (1) making me upset to feed off my emotions, or (2) encouraging me to see the truth clearly?

1) And yet the "logic" being flung around by the Covid cultists is far, far into petunia territory. From my perspective, the jury's still out.

2) If it isn't malevolent and the trees aren't concerned, don't worry about it. Have you tried to talk to it, or (more importantly) listen?

Regarding your second point about the entity - are they wearing a hat?

Hatman seems to be turning up a lot at the moment:
