The Return of Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

Yes, Magic Monday is on again. I appreciate deeply all the kind words, thoughts, and prayers sent my way in response to the recent passing of my wife Sara. I know that a lot of people respond to grief by taking time off, but that's not at all what I need or want just now. I've been through a long, lonely, stressful time during which I had nothing to do but provide a dying woman with the care she needed and would accept, which wasn't much, while we both waited for the inevitable to happen. What I need now to start the journey back to balance is conversation, interaction, and useful work to do.

So...

It's a few minutes before midnight and thus time to launch into 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 1.1 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.  

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. 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!

***This Magic Monday is now closed -- that is to say, no further comments will be put through. See you next week!***

Etheric body

[miow]

In that case, what would you recommend in order to keep one's etheric body in good shape (or to build it up from a point of neglect)?

Would the basic practices be of use, or is this where spiritual practice come in? I would also guess disengaging from mass media would play a role?

Re: Etheric body

The mass media don't affect your etheric body much -- well, sitting in front of a screen or other electronic device too much is a strain on the etheric body, but the content of the mass media messes with your astral body, not your etheric body. The basic practices for strengthening the etheric body are:

- deep breathing of clean fresh air
- regular washing in cool or cold water
- a diet rich in unprocessed foods
- regular light to moderate exercise
- deep physical relaxation

You can supplement all of this with healing practices that charge and cleanse the etheric body; nearly all alternative health care methods do this.

Makes sense when I lived at the Beach I took a lot of walks and it did me good.

Sorta dangerous and unhealthy trying it where I live.

Re: Etheric body

Salt spray cleans etheric crud out of the air, so taking a walk on the beach is a very good way to get your etheric body in better shape.

What could I do to make my home and especially my room better for my etheric (and other) bodies

Re: Etheric body

If you can get sunlight into it, and keep it relatively clean and well ventilated, that will help. Mostly, though, work on your body, not your room!
