It's getting on for midnight, so here we go with a new Magic Monday. The picture is of Andrew Jackson Davis, one of the most influential American occultists of the 19th century. He was one of many figures in the American occult scene of the time to be strongly influenced by Mesmerism, and proceeded to develop an extensive body of occult philosophy and practice based partly on Mesmer's teachings and partly on his own visionary experiences. Much of his work was picked up and elaborated by the Spiritualists of a later generation, and remained standard in American occult circles until the heyday of Theosophy. 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 I'm going to have somewhat limited email access tomorrow and it may be Tuesday or even Wednesday before I get to them all. 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 1.0 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. 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.
***This Magic Monday is now closed to new questions -- and yes, that means you. See you next week!***
Ogham Reading Layout
Date: 2019-09-30 06:57 am (UTC)You mentioned in a previous MM regarding Ogham readings:
"I find it more useful to make the first card mean me, the second the situations I encounter, and the third the outcome..."
In this three-card spread, are you doing them simply from left to right (1. me 2. situtation 3. result) or are you putting them into the three rays spread: first card for ray of knowledge on left, second card (situation) for ray of power on the right, and then the third card drawn as the ray of peace, in the center?
