It's 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. Along with Louis-Claude de St. Martin, last week's honoree, the inner circle of pupils of Martinez de Pasqually included this week's figure, Jean-Baptiste Willermoz. A very active Freemason, Willermoz played a central role in cleaning up the mess left by the implosion of the Strict Observance (the most important Templar order in 18th century Europe) and created a new order with its own rituals, the Rectified Rite, which survives to this day. Much of what became the ritual of Martinism came from Willermoz's hands.

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.

~~With that said, have at it!~~

Hi JMG,

I wanted to ask what books you would recommend for numerology.

With adopting practices from your works and others and general steady work on myself in all areas, I gradually found over the last year that I now have more vivid dreams I could actually remember. In the past they vanished quickly like a puff of smoke.

This past week I had a dream where I needed to secure a meeting room and learned there was an unlisted one, so I spoke to the receptionist and was kind and she offered it to me, but I needed the room number and password.

To get the password it flashed on her screen very quickly so it took many tries, and a photo didnt work. During these delays we talked about my life, how things were going, I remember talking of my home and new city along with touching on finances. Eventually the number stuck and I wrote it down, with the receptionist repeating it to me a few times 22:3553. The separation was distinct in the string of 6 numbers.

Those numbers really stuck with me when I woke up and after googling them I found very many advertisement laden sites that were very repetitive and figured it would be good to read a bit about this myself as it seemed an almost too good to be true type occurrence!

Would you or any reader have any thoughts on the above numbers from their own research and work?

And also any recommendations, my library has quite a few I can reserve so hopefully this would help filter a bit.

Thank you!

The gold standard in numerology is Matthew Oliver Goodwin's two-volume set Numerology: The Complete Guide, but that may not be the best place to start! The thing I'd point out, though, is that most numerology focuses on the numerical value of names and birth dates, not on numbers experienced in dreams. You might consider William Wynn Westcott's Numbers: Their Occult Power and Mystic Virtues, which is long out of copyright and may be downloaded here:
