Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

It's getting toward 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. I'm currently tracing my Martinist lineage.  That's rendered complex by the Martinist tradition that one does not name one's initiator, so we'll have to go back through less evasive routes. Last week's honoree, René Chambellant, became head of the Eglise Gnostique Universelle on the death of his teacher and consecrator, Constant Chevillon, whom I'm honoring this week. Martinist, Rosicrucian, Freemason, and Gnostic bishop, Chevillon was born in 1880, showed remarkable intellectual gifts in youth, but went to work in the banking industry while devoting his free time to occult and spiritual pursuits. He wrote seven books and many essays about Gnostic theology and practice, and his integrity and spiritual qualities won the respect not only of his fellow Gnostics but of Catholics and nonreligious people. In 1944, he and other leading citizens of Lyon were taken hostage by the Nazis in revenge for activities of the Resistance, and shot to death. He is considered a saint and martyr by most modern Gnostic churches; the day of his martyrdom, March 22, is his feast day.

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.

I have a theory on why it is that some people are able to see through psyops like 911 and gene therapy shots, and I'm curious to see what the commentariat here think, as I'm assuming most know at least a little of their own horoscopes, and remain deeply skeptical regarding gene therapy.

Theory being that the astrological quality which encourages this tendency to not go along with the crowd is a debilitated Moon. I say this as someone with a void of course (yes I know that's normally a horary consideration) Capricorn balsamic Moon, not a terribly happy spot for Selene. I'm curious to know if anyone else here has what they'd consider to be a challenged Moon, and indeed from those who have happy Moon placements for a compare/contrast approach. I'm sure there's more to the tendency to question groupthink than just this Lunar aspect, but am also interested to know if it seens more common than might otherwise be expected to see difficult Moon placements in the oddbods who wonder why the BBC reported on the collapse of building 7 before it actually collapsed, for example.

How would you find out?

That's an interesting theory. My Moon is fairly well dignified, though -- peregrine, but dignified by house and aspect.

Perhaps you should post this question on the new covid thread (there should be one tomorrow) so that it can be discussed over the course of a week?

My moon is in Scorpio. I don't believe the COVID response by most countries was appropriate and avoided the mRNA shots, but at the same time I think most conspiracy theories have no real evidence to back them up -- in lieu of evidence, I always assume incompetence or simple power-hungriness rather than a globally coordinated psyops.

Moon in cancer (I had to look it up), but not sure what that signifies-- exalted, debilitated, dunno??

Never even *considered* getting the shots. Seemed like a bad idea from the start, for lots of reasons.

I was born during an lunar eclipse with moon in Pisces. Super strong Mercury and solid Saturn...I have never gone with the group well and was aware of plans for the many events now unfolding years ago through.
