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!

Star Logoi

Fine business on this weeks picture! NEARA seems like a cool organization. Next time I'm in New England I'd like to visit some of the ancient stone chambers. I first learned about them from Manny Grossman who had done some "Forbidden Archaelogy" videos on his youtube channel, and he also mentioned having been a member of NEARA in the past and going on some field trips with them. Sounds fun! (He plans to do some more of these videos, and made an announcement here for those interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVMoOxcvPuo )

I hope everyone here has a blessed equinox.

John, I was curious about the lore around the Star Logoi. Are there any good sources to read more about them, or is it more of a matter of that knowledge being scattered around in various sources?

All the best,

Next time you're going to be in New England, if you'll be anywhere near Rhode Island and are interested in a joint road trip to megalithic sites, drop me a note!

As for the Star Logoi, as far as I know it's another "stuff scattered all over space and time" sort of topic. A good book on that would be great, but I don't know of one.

That sounds great John! It seems like we go to Maine to visit my cousins about every five years approximately. I would love to visit Rhode Island sometime too. So if the stars align, and I'm ever able to work that into the trip, I'll definitely drop you a note. We went and camped in Maine last summer -and visited the four of the five other J. Moore's who are my cousins, so I'm not sure when we'll get back... but my wife and I love it up there, so we hope to make the trek again when we can.

I'll tuck the Star Logoi into my writing journal as something to keep an eye out for and as a possible future topic to research.

I hope your day has been good. The GSF open lodge + compatible equinox ritual from FHR = rockin' stuff!

Hey Justin,

Have you read the book, Manitou: The Sacred Landscape of New England's Native Civilization? I read it over 3 years ago, a fascinating book about ancient ritual sites. Maybe I first heard of it on Ecosophia...don't recall now.

Happy Spring!

Hi Ellen,

No, I hadn't heard of it, butI will definitely make a note of it, and perhaps pick up a copy before we go up that way next. It sounds very cool. Thank you!

The following book is on a more immediate to buy list: Hopewell Ceremonial Landscapes of Ohio: More Than Mounds and Geometric Earthworks by Mark Lynott.

Happy spring to you and yours as well!

Justin in OH.

I will have to look that up as a visit to Cahokia and Hopewell is on our someday to-do list.

When you come back to Maine, give us a shout out on Open Post and maybe we could meet up.
