Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

It's just on 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 or comment 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. Last week's honoree, Violet Firth Evans aka Dion Fortune, had the great advantage of coming of age when the British occult community was close to its apogee, and she had plenty of teachers. Some of them, such as Moina Mathers, have already appeared here; some of them, such as Maiya Tranchell Hayes, apparently didn't leave any photographs behind -- but there are several others, and this is one of them: Frederick Bligh Bond, who was the official church archeologist at the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey between the two world wars, and discovered a whole series of lost features by digs that just happened to go to the right place. Then it turned out that there was no "just happened" about it; he was using spiritualistic methods to talk to the spirits of long-dead monks, who told him where to dig. The church threw a fit and dismissed him, but he went on to publish several volumes about his experiences, at least one of which can be downloaded for free (here). Dion Fortune studied with him for a while and also did trance work with him; her connection with Glastonbury continued to the end of her life, and in fact she's buried there.

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!

Good evening JMG and everyone,

1) If a healing hands session is to be performed in the morning should the activation for it be spaced from the morning empowering or can it be right after?

2) To the best of my knowledge, the lessons don't specify but I wonder if a healing hands session is best performed with an empty stomach condition for either spiritual healer or healee?

3) I am eager to keep practicing my MOE Healing Hands which I've done on myself for a while, but if anyone wishes to receive some healing energy sent their way I will do so for seven days. (If that's okay with JMG to post here).

1) It can be done right after.

2) I've never tried doing healing on a full stomach, so I don't know. Experimentation might be useful.

3) It's certainly okay.

I'd love some healing energy sent my way - if you'd like I could also send some your way in return as I am also practicing?

[open_space]

I'll gladly send you some healing energy and since you are the first, I'll do so starting tomorrow until Sunday. I personally wouldn't know how to send energy to an anonymous username so if you feel so inclined to send either a picture of yourself or your name signed by your hand or other way of focusing it at you to the encrypted email address below that would be best, if not, I'll try my best :-)

And yes, please, I will gladly receive some healing energy from you.

Please send some healing energy my way.

[open_space]

I'll gladly do so, if you can send some way of identifying you to the email address on my reply above with healing specifics, if any, that would make it possible for me to send some energy your way. A picture, something hand written, like your name, or anything else that would help me focus on you might do the trick.

Say, just a thought: Tunesmyth’s ever-growing prayer request list may be a fine source for your practice. It is for me!

Very true! Now that there are a few sets of healing hands in the community it sounds like a great idea.

I'll comment over at Tunesmyth's that I am available for offering them as well :-)
