Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

It's getting on for midnight as I type this, so here we go with a new Magic Monday. This week's classic of Western occultism is The Old Straight Track by Alfred Watkins. There's been so much nonsense written about leys by uncritical believers, and so much equal and opposite nonsense written about them by archeologists who literally haven't bothered to find out what it is that they're denouncing, that it's an immense relief to read the original book on the subject -- calm, thoughtful, unsensational, presenting a reasoned hypothesis about an ancient system of trackways and landmarks used by pilgrims and traders in Neolithic Britain. Is there an occult dimension to leys? Sure, but the spiritual and the practical weren't divided by a no man's land patrolled by dogmatic pseudoskeptics back when the ley system evolved...

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. 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.

With that said, have at it!
