Magic Monday
Sep. 13th, 2026 08:58 pm
It's nearly midnight 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've been fielding a lot of questions about my books recently, and I thought it would be worth going back over them here, as I did some years ago, and talking a little about them. This is the current edition of my first book, Paths of Wisdom, originally published in 1996; it's on its third publisher, for complex reasons having a lot to do with the state of the publishing industry. As the subtitle indicates, it's a textbook of the Golden Dawn system of Cabala -- basically, the book I'd wished I'd had when I got started in the Golden Dawn tradition and began studying the Tree of Life; it goes over the spheres and paths of the Tree in detail and sets out the standard methods of practice in ample detail. It's still selling steadily after thirty years in print, so I gather that people still find it useful. If you're interested, it can be bought here among many other places.

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. Because of issues I have with Ko-Fi and Buymeacoffee due to not having a smartphone, and because PayPal has cleaned up its act and stopped debanking people for political reasons, I've returned to asking people to tip there. On the other hand, 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.
***This Magic Monday is now closed, and no further comments will be put through. See you next week!***
