Magic Monday
Feb. 22nd, 2026 09:52 pm
It's getting on for 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 finished the sequence of my published books; while I decide what I want to do next, I have some memes to share.)
Buy Me A Coffee
Ko-Fi
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 either of the links above to access my online tip jar; Buymeacoffee is good for small tips, Ko-Fi is better for larger ones. (I used to use PayPal but they developed an allergy to free speech, so I've developed an allergy to them.) 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 new comments will be put through. See you next week!***
As the great conjunction between Saturn and Neptune unfolds, and we're all waiting to see if Great Cthulhu, that profoundly Neptunian figure, really is going to arise from the Saturnian temple-tomb of drowned R'lyeh, I'm pleased to say that a new podcast on that very subject has just dropped. It's another of my appearances on the Plant Cunning Podcast with hosts Isaac and A.C., and we spent more than an hour talking about what happens now that the stars are right. Here's the audio link:
I've just learned that Aeon Books has decided to bring out a deluxe edition of my forthcoming book The Magical Writings of W.B. Yeats. I'm delighted, of course -- show me the author whose heart doesn't beat a little faster at the thought of having his work in a fine edition! -- but I also wanted to leak word of this to my readers sooner rather than later, because it's a limited edition of 500 copies, and once it's gone, it's gone.
We are now into the fifth year of these open posts. When I first posted
