ecosophia | Magic Monday

It's almost 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 and the teachers who influenced them in turn. Like Allan Bennett, who we discussed last week, this week's honoree was a teacher of Aleister Crowley. George Cecil Jones was the man who introduced Crowley to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and later on helped Crowley found the Argenteum Astrum (Order of the Silver Star, or A∴A∴), the first of the two magical orders the Not-so-great Beast headed during his lifetime. (The other, the Ordo Templi Orientis or OTO, will be discussed next week.) Jones was a working chemist and metallurgist as well as a serious student of the occult. He practiced the magical virtue of silence more effectively than most of his contemporaries, however, and very little seems to be known about him.

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.

~~With that said, have at it!~~

Perhaps this has been answered on one of the MOE threads, but I was curious if the healing energy stops when someone goes to sleep, is it worthwhile to still do distance healing on people when they might be asleep?

I ask because I have several people with illnesses or long term conditions who have requested healing. My first session is in the morning between 6 AM and 7 AM. Some of these people are inveterate night owls. I might be myself if I didn't have to be at work -something to look forward to in time. And for night owls who may be practicing this on people who go to sleep at 9 PM, the reverse situation might be at work.

Anyway, I do a repeat in the afternoon, so that should cover it, but was just wondering what your or Gilbert's experience was around this.

Anyway, I have found my palms activating and the circulation easily from right shoulder through hands, etc. I have noticed less, though some pressure in the back.

Thanks for this space, and all the teachings you've made available.

I've never been sure what to make of that bit of John's teaching. I haven't noticed any lack of effect when doing Essene healings either on people who were about to go to sleep or people who were asleep at the time. It might be worth experimenting and seeing whether there's actually a difference.
