Spirits' moods

Here's something we didn't explicitly mention in Asteria although it should be obvious to anyone practically involved in occult affairs who also studies astrology. It should be of no surprise each planet feels differently when transiting different zodiac signs.

By extension, its spirits, when called upon in ritual, manifest differently depending on the sign the planet is transiting at the time. We've discussed this from a different perspective in Asteria in the section on natal chart and I also addressed it from the same perspective in Words. It also applies to other spirits of forces found inside the zodiac chart, such as spirits of the signs, but in this case it has to do with sign placements or lack of (among other things).

Why Shaman?

Señor Villavicencio resents me referring to him as "Señor Shaman" in public. He has his own reasons for this and I find them legit. I agree with him wholeheartedly and I respect his stance on the matter. However...

...I, being me, will continue to refer to him as such! The reason for this is much too complex to cover and I'm not in the mood for that right now, especially since tomorrow is Easter in my neck of the woods.

But I want to say that I refer to him as Señor more as a title than as a polite from of addressing him. I mean it's not as if I consider him nobility, nor would I ever think of considering him a god, but as a means of establishing my view about him, a view that elevates him above many of the people involved in the occult in one form or another.

The power of a name

(I apologize for Blogger's messing up with the script throughout the article...)

I initially wanted to include this in Words, but I would have digressed even more. Suffices the first two chapters are already somewhat of a rollercoaster ride. Adding yet another "side story" would have probably confused readers. I did have an excellent opportunity to do so at the beginning, after I added the scripture verses.

The verses themselves talk about Man being co-creator with God, naming things into Creation. Thus each thing became its own thing having received that identity from its Creator(s). A similar thing happens to newborns when they receive their name or names from their parents. They already have a family name, marking their membership in a larger group, but their given names makes them stand apart from every other individual in that family group.

Zodiacal elixirs update

So time after writing this article I've had a chance to test some more zodiacal elixirs in the case of a man with serious damage to his nervous system. In short, the man was suffering from paralysis on his left side and then at some point it spread to his right side as well. Things went from bad to worse pretty quickly afterwards and he was rushed to the hospital.

I proceeded to make a Virgo elixir to improve the functionality of his nervous system and one with Taurus so he'd regain at least some physical strength. Unfortunately the man lives in another town and he ended up being hospitalized before the elixirs could be sent to him. Once they were in his possession, he needed help and assistance to consume them. He did just that one sip at a time using a tea spoon his wife used.
