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 not be put through.  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 eighty-second and most recent published book, a book on UFOs somewhat unoriginally titled The UFO Book. It's from the same publisher as my titles The Occult Book and The Conspiracy Book, and like them it's a coffee table book, with 100 vignettes from the history of unexplained things in the sky. It's not like my other book on the subject, The UFO Chronicles, in that I don't propose explanations -- this is purely a chronology of remarkable sightings from around the world and across the years. What's behind them? That's for you to decide. It was a fun project, and should be fun to read. Interested? You can get copies here if you live in the US, and at your favorite online or bricks-and-mortar bookstore otherwise. 

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 more comments will be put through. See you next week!***

Megaliths Map

[emily07]

Dear JMG, Vitranc and all,
one quibble and maybe a datapoint
Quibble: I´d say the megaliths map for Germany is not complete, as e.g. around middle Hessia there are some megalitic sites, one place where apparentely there is a scrating of (a/the) devils claw and some not yet investigated things seemingly megalitic and or old straight tracks like

Datapoint:
around here there is a streetname that is called Leppsteinwiesen (so grass of the Leppstones) near in the same village there is a megalithic site. I was reminded of Austria (East-Tirolia) where is some out of the way region there is a mountain called Leppleskofl. Not sure if those two are connected. JMG are such datapoints to vague or are they of interest to you?
Best wishes,
Emily07

If I ever find the time and opportunity to travel to central Europe, they'll certainly be of interest to me!

Re: Megaliths Map

[vitranc]

Thank you for this. As I found this map some months ago I mostly used it to look if there was potentially any sites in my area. Admittedly I knew of none before. Still it shows what are usually taken as Celtic sites all the way to southern Styria.

As a side note for JMG. I once read about a story from somewhere what was then Yugoslavia. They demolished a church that was apparently one of five churches set up geographically in a pentagram. And there were unexplained lights in the sky and disruptive weather patterns, and failed crops, for some time afterwards. Until the villagers completely rebuilt the church more then a hundred years later. I’d have to look it up, where it was.

Re: Megaliths Map

That sounds about right! Very often old churches replaced old temples, which were put where they are for very good reasons, generally connected with the earth energies. If you can find the location for those events, I'd love to discuss them in the new edition of The Secret of the Temple!

Re: Megaliths Map

[vitranc]

Found it. Skrivnost pentagrama “Secrets of the pentagram” by a local old faith movement.

It is in a strange language, but there is a map and the list of churches.
One of them, st. George church, is here .

Adendum.: this is strange, the article lists a Masonic: “master mason handbook” as literature

Re: Megaliths Map

Thank you for this! I was able to get a readable translation via my browser, which has that feature built into it.

The book by Ivan Mohorič sounds interesting; if somebody were to translate it into English, I can think of a Masonic publisher or two that would be interested in it!

Re: Megaliths Map

[vitranc]

Ok, how would one go about that?
Ivan Mohorič is deceased, I imagine there are rights issues. Does one contact the publisher and ask for permission, does one translate, pass it to a new publisher and let the publishers sort it out?

Re: Megaliths Map

You'd contact the publisher and find out if the rights are available, and if they are, then you'd produce an outline and a translated sample chapter and contact the English language publisher and see if they're interested. If they are, they'll negotiate things with the Slovenian publisher and with you.
