Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

It's a little after 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 picture?  I'm working my way through photos of my lineage, focusing on the teachers whose work has influenced me. Before Gladys Plummer, last week's honoree, became head of the Societas Rosicruciana in America, her husband George Winslow Plummer was the head of the order. For all practical purposes, he was also the founder; his teacher Sylvester Gould, whom we'll discuss next week, started the ball rolling, but Gould died suddenly in 1909 and Plummer picked up the pieces and went from there. Plummer was an enthusiastic Freemason and had received Rosicrucian initiation from Gould, but not a complete system of teaching or initiation; he created those by close but not uncritical study of the Rosicrucian and occult literature of his time, and tried to find common ground between occult teaching and science. He was also a devout if eccentric Christian, and ended up being consecrated as a bishop in an independent church with connections to the Orthodox churches. Though I don't share his religion, he's one of the role models from whom I've tried to learn.

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. 

 

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 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!

Dear JMG and commentariat, greetings.

I have a bit of trouble I could use some help/advice with.

I'd previously (about 2 years ago) shared a tale of a very intense love affair which ended with the revelation that she had a boyfriend of 5 years and I was other guy. She'd ghosted me, and the month between the reveal and dropping her to the aiport where she disappears was about the most painful of my life (which did indeed cause a cardiac issue and damaged my heart, along with really bad adrenaline issues and emotional pain, all of which I took without showing her or anyone that I was on the cusp), and I cut her off immediately even though she psychotically wanted me to fight for me after the revelation. (This was also your advice back then).

Then next year was very tough but I poured myself into work, did well there (saturn return 10th house, still on-going) but I was physically and mentally tortured the whole time. Yet, I kept away from her and her overtures, and she would frequently turn up in my dreams (sometimes chasing me etc), some really weird things going on.

Anyway, this year I was in New York for work, and my health was still pretty bad, so I saw a reiki healer after divining that they could help. I was very surprised but reiki did help a ton, and I got initiated at level 1 and started the self-treatment, which has helped also.

Yet, the weirdest thing after this love affair was that suddenly my love life collapsed. I've never had any trouble with women but suddenly it seemed that I wasn't finding myself as attracted to them, and they weren't as interested in me. Initially I chalked it up to an emotional shock that had muted my attraction to women, but as that wore off, this problem didn't go away. I spent all of 2022 celibate, which has been a big surprise.

No matter what I do, my love life seems dead. I can't seem to have charming conversations anymore, and even the women I previously flirted with casually seem disinterested.

I was talking to my reiki healer yesterday about this and here's what he said:
"I spoke about you to my best friend here. She is profoundly psychic, the real deal. She picked up stuff about you. Basically, much of the hell you’ve been through, the illnesses etc, stem from the fact that you’ve been effectively cursed the objective of which was “If I am not going to have him, no one can.” I had an inkling there was something like this going on when we met in NYC, but I do not have psychic abilities. Where a lot of this ill intent has hit you is the area below the belt, hence questions about your sexual function. It may be why your legs and hips are weak. Whoever did this to you did it not out of vengeance or spite , but simply for the heck of it. My feeling is that the effects of this thing are affecting now less physically but more on the level of just keeping you away from women."

So, this seems pretty plausible. I even tried a venus talisman from Chris Warnock but the effect was weird: While in NYC, I would match with voluminous number of very beautiful women on a dating app but no one of those conversations would go anywhere (something I've never had a problem with in my 20s).

Question is, what can I do to rid of this "curse"/"effect" probably caused by my ex?

(I've avoided ceremonial stuff cos I have a weak L8, but I pray a lot (I have a strong L9), spend time at temples etc).

You might see if you can find a competent hoodoo doctor, curandero, or the like. That sort of thing is part of their stock in trade, and they can treat such curses very effectively.
