Magic Monday

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. Both of the last two honorees, and most of the other Martinist lineages in existence, were also taught and influenced by this man, Robert Ambelain, a prolific writer and occult scholar whose work extended from astrology and Freemasonry to Druidry and Martinism. Ambelain was born in 1907; he became an astrologer in the 1920s, proceeded to become a major figure in the Martinist scene and a bishop in one of the French Gnostic churches, played a central role in reviving several defunct occult orders, published 42 books, and earned the Croix de Guerre for his service to France during the Second World War. He died in 1997.
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.

And don't forget to look up your Pangalactic New Age Soul Signature at CosmicOom.com.

3) Glad to hear it! Journey Star will be back in print next year. All but one of my novels is moving to a new publisher (the one exception is already there), so there will unfortunately be some delays.

Date: 2023-06-26 11:41 pm (UTC)The laws of a community are the compromises that the community has agreed to make in order to allow people to live together in relative peace. None of them are perfect; all of them are compromises that allow certain harms to prevent worse harms. Religious liberty is a good example. Is it abused? Constantly. Go read a good book about the Salem witch trials sometime and see what you think of the alternative.

Date: 2023-06-26 11:46 pm (UTC)I have watched a few of Ocean Keltoi's other videos. Interesting fellow. I imagine that he wouldn't like me very much.
Kabbalistic Cross
Date: 2023-06-26 11:52 pm (UTC)Thank you for sharing all your erudition, study and wisdom. You are a great inspiration to me!
My question is in regards to the Kabbalistic Cross from the viewpoint of the traditional Golden Dawn.
The light that we bring down to our foreheads, is this
a) Ain Soph Aur
b) Keter
Or
c) Tiphereth
and which aspect of ourselves would this be (Higher Self/Tiphereth or Divine Self/Keter)?
I first thought this light related to Keter but I read someone mention it’s invoking your Higher Self which in GD is associated with Tiphereth. It makes sense though considering Keter is above the abyss and impersonal. (These terms are so easy to get jumbled up.)
Thank you for the clarification and I hope you have a great week.
