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!

Hi JMG!

In addition to my earlier post about ES, I also wanted to wish you a happy Equinox and say thank you for hosting this space and everything that you do.

I enjoy the Magic Mondays and I read them every week even though I don’t always post anything. I’ve also been really enjoying working my way through the FHR materials. I started the FHR work right when you first started posting about it since divination gave me a big fat “YES!” On the topic.

Even though the work is still very much in progress I’ve found it to be very helpful to my life on multiple levels. I’m more balanced, less reactive. I had a long-standing practice prior to this, but I think I’ve really benefitted from the FHR and the practices being done. I feel more confident in myself and my magic. It’s gone to another level. I like that the FHR grades take one through things in a fairly linear and clear way but the system is flexible enough to be sort of my own and encourage my own agency and thinking. I choose which occult books I’m going to read, I choose my own meditation topics, I choose my own daily banishing ritual, I choose what Divine names I’m going to vibrate during SoP and the Temple O&C, etc. I genuinely appreciate that everyone in the Fellowship is in the work together but none of our practices look exactly alike.

I’m going to continue working through the materials and doing the practices. Thanks again. ♥️

You're welcome and thank you! I learned a great deal from the Magickal Order of the Golden Dawn under John Gilbert's tutelage, and I'm pleased to be able to pay that forward by giving students the chance to have the same experience with the FHR.
