ecosophia | Magic Monday

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.

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

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

I am married to an asexual man. I didn't know this when I married him, kept thinking it would get better. This wasn't a big problem the first few years, but now I'm going through the female hormonal ("last chance to get pregnant") changes in my thirties and it's driving me nuts.

Am I correct that I need to be on my mental game, because if I let my thoughts stray to sexual desires behind the scenes, it'll reflect such scenes in the astral light and they'll echo back to me, making it worse? Do I need to try to not think of sex at all to keep this from happening?

I am already trying to exercise as much as possible in hopes of my sexual desires being funneled elsewhere. I also take care of myself in the bedroom but in recent months it hasn't been enough. Is there anything else I can do? Thank you.

Yes, you need to stay on top of your mental processes. You can think about sex, but the more you do so, the more strongly you'll build up charges in the astral light, and those will not only attract more such feelings and images to you -- they can work down into the material plane and put you into situations where you can express those thoughts and fantasies in the material world.

One exercise you may find useful to redirect your energies is in this book:

You'll find the exercise on pages 44-45. This works best if you have an active spiritual life of some kind.

Thank you I'll get right on this. Is this compatible with the dolmen arch system? I'm already several levels in and don't want to table it.

Yes, it's entirely compatible.
