Test your occultist

This article could be seen as a continuation of occult customer awareness one and two.

Throughout my time in the occult regions of cyberspace I've come across many people. My interactions with them allowed me to part ways with many misconceptions I've had about occultists prior to beginning my magical path. One of my greatest misconceptions was that occultists were generally better than everyone else. By this I don't mean I considered them as having god-like powers, even if I've met a couple of people who can affect reality to great degree with their mind alone. But I didn't consider the latter to be god-like either.

What I mean is I thought they were better morally, psychologically, etc etc and, above all else, spiritually. By spiritually I mean I thought of them as having a broader perspective over reality than the rest, a perspective that covered both seen and unseen aspects of Creation itself. I was wrong all the way.

While I came to understand the occult path will eventually lead one to express their true self (on their path towards their Higher Self) as best as they can, I've noticed the opposite occurs in some cases. The more such people have been walking this path the more hypocritical their nature. It seems that even encountering muchly superior, transcendental beings did not help them cast aside that nature. On the contrary, in some cases it seems to have enforced it, those people using such an "over the top" achievement as paint to cover their many flaws of character.

More on spiritual authority

I initially posted this article based on a story from my neck of the woods to discuss about spiritual authority. This article focuses on some passages from the Bible and it'll be much shorter.

"13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over that which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We asjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.

14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.

15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul in know; but who are ye?

16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded." - Acts 19, KJV.

More feedback

About a month ago I got contacted by someone wanting to improve their financial situation and, if possible, their amorous life as well. It just so happened I had already posted this third lunar mansion election and so we decided the person was going to make the talisman. I shared that time based on their location and also threw in another election for the seventh mansion. So the client went ahead and did them both.

A short while afterwards I got this:

And then, upon them telling me they also saved money on their vet bill, they made it even clearer:

Despair

In my article "A living hell: The eerie 12th House" from Asteria 2 I talked about despair as being a theme of said house. However, I did not go into it in too much detail because if I had done so, the entire article would've derailed and it wouldn't have tied well together. Moreover, I am no Tolkien nerd and, as you're about to see further on as I go ahead with the examples, they come from good ol' JRR's magnificently complex universe. Even more so, besides having seen the LORT and The Hobbit trilogies, I knew very little of the actual in-universe facts from the actual perspective of Tolkien's writings, besides what I could recall from having read about it long ago on the Encyclopedia of Arda site. 

But even if I had gone back and read from there, I felt it wasn't enough for me to understand the complex nature of the characters I'm about to speak of. Later I came across this cool chap who's doing a wonderful job at sharing Tolkien's stories for everyone, including people like me who hate to read. I, on the other hand, am not good at telling stories. Instead, I am good at woowoo and making fun of magicianists.

Not so fast!

On Saturday, April 30 there's going to be a Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Pisces which I'm sure many occultists with a slight insight into astrology would want to use in their work. Here is the chart for that event on the magical night of Venus (possibly even in its second night hour - haven't checked) for NYC time with the two benefics on the ASC, Venus still applying to the conjunction.
