Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

It's getting on for midnight, so here we go with a new Magic Monday. The picture is of Robert Fludd (1574-1637), one of England's great occult figures: philosopher, geomancer, and alchemical physician, not to mention the author of the last great encyclopedic works of Renaissance occult philosophy. By his time it was becoming clear that his side would lose the reality wars of the late Renaissance, but he never backed down, and he died before the long night of "single vision and Newton's sleep" closed over the western world. 

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. If you're in a hurry, or suspect you may be the 175,317th person to ask a question, please check out the very rough version 1.0 of The Magic Monday FAQ here.

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!***

Re: Golden Dawn book

Hmm! No, I've never heard of it, but books on how to get ready to die were fairly popular back in the days when death wasn't such a taboo subject. It sounds as though that's what you found.
