Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

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 picture?  I'm working my way through photos of my lineage, focusing on the teachers whose work has influenced me. I'm going to jump back here a bit because I managed to trace down another significant figure from a lineage I've already discussed. Bishop Richard, Duc de Palatine was an Australian spiritual teacher and Gnostic bishop who played a crucial role in bringing the alternative sacramental movement to the United States, and strongly influenced both of the bishops who consecrated John Gilbert. Born Ronald Powell in 1916, he became a member of the Theosophical Society and then a bishop in the Liberal Catholic Church. After the Second World War he moved to Britain and founded the Pre-Nicene Christian Church, one of the major fountainheads of Gnostic Christian spirituality in the English-speaking world, and later traveled widely in the USA and elsewhere, teaching students, ordaining priests, and consecrating bishops, until his death in 1977. I've recently had the chance to study more of his writings and have discovered that he was much more influential a source for the Gnostic material I received than I'd realized -- so he's this week's honoree.

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!

***This Magic Monday is now CLOSED. See you next week!***

Hello Mr Greer,

My boyfriend has recently started learning to play guitar, and so we discovered that the current standard tuning of 440 Hz has replaced the 432 Hz tuning in 1955. New age websites say it was decided by the nazis for occult reasons, and then it was adopted as the new standard globally after that. Apparently 432 Hz is in resonance with our bodies and the universe, and so their idea was to cut us from spiritual realities. Do you think there is any truth behind this ? I’ve tried to listen to music tuned to 432 Hz and it seems to have a more powerful effect on my emotions, but then it could also just be a placebo effect.

And, not a question, but in a few weeks I will be finishing the 4th grade of the Dolmen Arch. I started the 1st grade, 2 years ago in February 2021. Maybe I’m really slow at this, but it took me a long time to understand what this is all about. There are so many things to learn in that book and so much to meditate upon, and I don’t think I’ve understood everything yet. Anyway, I just wanted to say a deep thank you for this and the other things you share. It really has completely transformed my life and made the path clearer, even if I know I still have a long way to go on that road.

1) The tuning of A has strayed all over the place during the last half dozen centuries. In the Renaissance, A could be anything from 370 to 567. In the 18th century, 420 became more or less standard, and it's gradually crept up from there, because a lot of conductors like a sharper tone. You might see if you can find some early music played to a 420 A, and see what you think of it.

2) If you've completed the first four grades in two years you're doing fine. One student of the course just finished the whole sequence after seven years. I'm glad you're finding it useful!
