Solar election

I've selected this solar election for Mr. Farrell's neck of the woods, but you can make use of it as well by adjusting the chart to your location. The election is not that potent and I'm not inclined to making a talisman (and you'll see why at the end).

The Sun is only dignified by triplicity although it's stronger than it's been over the previous three and a half months or so. It's also culminating although you can perform the ritual while it's rising. Just watch out for the aspects the Moon is making at the time, especially if you live more to the east.

Ohnevel

Ohnevel is one of the angels of the Shemhamphorash and is said to "protect against accidents, maintain health and heal, dominate trade and businessmen, influence business". According to some sources he is attributed to the half-decan 10°-15° Taurus. 

I've worked with him in the past for business related stuff, with little to no success. Recently something came up and, since the chart was awful for other forces I would've worked with in such a case, I decided to work with him instead. This time I called on him for healing.

Soulmates, you say?

Over time I've been hearing of the term "soulmates" and its association with romantic relationships. The dictionary defines a soulmate as being "a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner" so we see it covering more than just romance. Friendship too involves feelings, especially love, but it's closer to the ideal concept of love than the more selfish, sexual attraction type of love people involved in a romantic relationship usually experience. Therefore, many modern astrologers' use of the term soulmates to define certain pairs of individuals based on whatever synastry and/or composite aspects they may share is shallow to say the least.

True, people can think about finding their soulmate when casting a Venus spell to bring their significant other. That doesn't mean, however, the person the spell would bring forth after successfully manifesting is actually their soulmate. Neither does it mean that any pretty astro aspects the two share make them soulmates. In the appropriate article in Asteria 2 I talk about compatability and although some astro aspects between people can be considered as alluding to the two meeting and sharing certain experiences as being fated, that too does not make them soulmates.

Hermetic Tablet 2024

After a lengthy hiatus Hermetic Tablet is back with more than a few authors having answered Mr. Farrell's call. This year's edition is filled with articles covering both practical and theoretical topics many interested and serious occultists will find helpful.

You can see from the table of contents many subjects have been addressed, from tantra to gamatria and from psychology to gamatria, these articles' applications can be manifold.

Hermetic Tablet once more

After some six years Mr. Farrell decided to release his Hermetic Tablet once more. This particular edition stands out because it also pays homage to the late Mike Magee and Jake Stratton-Kent, two people involved in specific occult fields well known for their knowledge of those particular areas.

Besides the articles written by the two occultists who now explore the vastness of the beyond, Mr. Farrell has gathered a plethora of authors to contribute to this year's edition. And then there's Señor Shaman and myself. Each author covers a different subject, from ancient magix to Kabbalah and from astrology to conjuring a demon, but the articles can be loosely grouped together in bunches by the occult areas whose different aspects each covers. Additionally, each author has an unique approach to the topic they're covering, unlike certain larger than life wannabes who regurgitated the same material as others in the past with the help of another's translation to come up with a book the length of one of these articles (or smaller) over the span of a few years (!!!).

The book will be published through Lord Manticore probably next week and I will post a detailed article to cover it when the time comes.

BML trasnit

A few months ago I spoke with a reader who was studying his chart and preparing for upcoming hard transits. He said Magick Pills for Hard Transits helped him a great deal a few years back, but since then he had little time to magically address these periodic events. This time though, he noticed a handful of potentially hazardous transits occurring in the near future and wanted to take the necessary precautions.

One of those transits was the Black Moon opposite itself in the man's chart. I recommended he study his natal BML more, both from this book on BML and online sources in order to understand its nature better. While the book does not cover the opposition transit, I helped the man get a general idea of what it may bring into his life considering his chart.

Book review: Mastering the Thirty Aires

This is the first Enochian label for this blog since I stopped doing that kind of work a few years back due to mundane reasons. But it's safe to say I'll start posting more on this topic once I begin working this system once more.

Mastering the Thirty Aires is Scott's final book of his Enochian trilogy, thus covering the whole system. Additionally, the man has covered Dee and Kelley's work to greath length, both for free on his blog and in the form of published books. I for one think he's done more than enough by covering the subject and speaking about it publically, as no other occultist I've encountered has so far had the decency of providing free ritual templates, let alone answering every question his readers ask him.

I am very grateful for his help, assistance and guidance. When it comes to Enochian, I want to point out I've began working with the Heptarchy solely by using his blog as a source and he's been more than willing to help me along even by answering all my retarded questions. Other authors, especially those who consider themselves experts on this subject as well, would point people to their books as a simple, piss off answer. But not Scott!
