Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

It's almost midnight, so here we go with a new Magic Monday. The picture is of Alan Leo (real name William Frederick Allan), a prominent British Theosophist and one of the prime movers of the late 19th century revival of astrology. 

Ask me anything about occultism and I'll do my best to answer it. Any question received by midnight Monday Eastern time will get an answer, though it may be Tuesday sometime before I get to them all.

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 the button below to access my online tip jar.

With that said, have at it! 

***This Magic Monday is now closed to new questions. See you next week!***

Hello and happy Monday,

I read this article about an artist who suffers from heavy metal poisoning due to working with mussel shells to make sculptures. They are quite stunning.

It reminded me of the recent discussion on Ecosophia about how artists should seek to express something outside of themselves.

Relevant quote from the article:

"When you make art, you often feel diminished and small—you’re just a vessel for the creative energy to pass through. My body was carrying a painful message about the poisoning that Earth is experiencing."

Anyway, I just had to share it with JMG and everyone that comments.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for this. I have to admit that heavy metal poisoning seems like a high price to pay for art!
