Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

It's just past 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 taking a momentary break from chasing down photos of my lineage. Today is the spring equinox here in the northern hemisphere, one of the holy days of the Druid calendar, and this is a photo of the spring equinox sunrise as seen from an ancient stone chamber at South Royalton, Vermont -- one of many astronomically oriented megalithic sites here in New England. The photo's courtesy of New England Antiquities Research Association (NEARA), which was gracious enough to send it around yesterday morning.

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!***

Goblin Vs farie

[(Anonymous)]

What is the difference between a goblin and a farie? Are they from the same dimensions?

Re: Goblin Vs farie

Goblins, fairies, and other creatures of the same sort all belong to the same category of nature spirits; goblins are spirits of caves and rocks, while fairies are spirits of woods and green spaces. They live in the same world we do -- most human beings these days have just been taught not to notice them, as part of our culture's general prohibition against noticing the enchanted side of existence.

(Not OP)

Something I've meant to ask before - can nature spirits be reincarnated in human form? I've never felt quite at home in my human body, but wooded mountain streams are where I'm happiest.

Then again, I might just be a druid...

You might just be a Druid. Nature spirits do sometimes incarnate in a human body, but it's a very poor fit and they rarely live long.

The feeling of not being at home in one's body usually happens when you didn't get enough time between lives, so subconsciously you remember that your former body felt like and the current one just never quite feels right.

Hmm, thanks, that might be it.

I've had inklings of what my past life before this one was, and if I'm right, she died young and badly and it would have had to be very soon before I was born.

Her living environment would have been the complete opposite to a wooded mountain stream, so it would also make sense that it would be something I would now seek out, rather than it being from a previous life as a fae. I hadn't thought of it that way until just now!
