Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

Midnight is upon us and so it's time to launch a new Magic Monday. Ask me anything about occultism, and with certain exceptions noted below, any question received by midnight Monday Eastern time will get an answer. Please note:  Any question or comment received after that point will not get an answer, and in fact will just be deleted.  If you're in a hurry, or suspect you may be the 341,928th person to ask a question, please check out the very rough version 1.3 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.  And further:  I've decided that questions about getting goodies from spirits are also permanently off topic here. The point of occultism is to develop your own capacities, not to try to bully or wheedle other beings into doing things for you. I've discussed this in a post on my blog.

The image? I field a lot of questions about my books these days, so I've decided to do little capsule summaries of them here, one per week.  This is my seventy-sixth published book, the second workbook and fifth volume in the Golden Section Fellowship sequence of occult training textbooks. Earth mysteries, for those who aren't familiar with the term, is a catchall label for all the strange things associated with ancient ruins, folk traditions, places where paranormal things happen much more often than usual. The book on the right, John Michell's visionary masterpiece The View Over Atlantis, was my introduction to the field back in the day, as it was for so many other people -- it didn't hurt that the cover art was by Roger Dean, more famous for all that hallucinatory Yes album cover art -- and this book is partly my homage to Michell and a vanished era, partly a guide to integrating earth mysteries studies with occult training, and partly -- or mostly -- a hands-on guide to finding the weirdness in the place where you live. You can get a copy here if you're in the United States and here elsewhere; I recommend the hardback if you're doing the course, because you're going to put a year of hard use into the book. 

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.

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, and no further comments will be put through. See you next week!***

If I may ask, did you get a sense of the time period this was in? eg was the boat a modern design, or pre-industrial?
If this is contemporary, it could be like the "flashes" I've gotten of others' lives, except that those are waking, not in dreams. Maybe the "tidal wave" represented naval drones or a missile strike? Or if this is historical (as the hut suggests), it could be a past life memory, although again, those tend to be waking, not in dreams. That's all I've got!

Hi xcalibur_djs,
The time period was not contemporary. The boats were old-style. The men who hauled them did it as their regular job, using ropes as was done in old times. It's not my first dream when I "knew" that this was Crimea. I had them throughout my life, well before 2014. I felt that it might be past life memory, but our host tells us that they usually surface as memories and not in dreams. Also, I have a personal connection to Crimea. Though I never lived there, I spent 3 long Summers there as a child for a total of 8 months, so I definitely remember the vibe of the place. In all my dreams of Crimea, the action was always in the past before my summering there in the 70-s. Not related to the dream, but just a side note: only in 2014, when the current conflict started, I learned that Crimea belonged to Ukraine. As a child, I had no idea and thought it was Southern Russia. The language was Russian, the food was Russian (more austere than Ukrainian), the faces were Russian (more reserved than Ukrainian).
