Eclipse effects

You can find out more about this phenomenon in our article on eclipses as well as in Asteria 1, as well as in an article in Asteria 2.

On April 8 this year there was a total solar eclipse over North America. I remember telling Señor Shaman and Mr. Farrell at the time I foresee a tremendous change for the US for the long run. That change seems to have manifested with last month's elections, but I'm sure it had been brewing ever since the ominous event.

A solar eclipse is said to cause the death of kings, or at least their fall from power. In our day and age this would translate to people in power, such as presidents or prime ministers depending on the constitution. Suddenly, some time after the eclipse the president in office announced he would not run for the upcoming elections and instead his VP would run instead.

Churchy antics

"Bless me, father, for I have sinned."

I won't make a separate label for rants, let alone for specific rant subjects. Take this rant as it is because it may be informative to some.

Today is Palm Sunday based on the Orthodox calendar, meaning next Sunday is Easter. People around here seem cool with that. Many are contempt or even rejoice because they can hang out and have fun at bbqs with friends and family and whatnot.

None are aware why this particular timing is wrong based on a calendar constructed based on human dogma alone. Most are oblivious to anything anymore, anyway, besides their immediate needs, so who cares?

But anyway, the Orthodox Church has decreed who knows how long ago, because I won't bother researching, that Easter is to be celebrated on the first Sunday after the so called New Moon in Aries. This may mean nothing to laymen, but this has both an astronomical and an astrological cause behind it, at least in my view. But I think my view was proven correct upon my back and forth with an Orthodox priest on the subject a few years back.

Mars conjunct Saturn in Pisces

Recently I've been getting inquiries from people regarding Mars conjunct Saturn in Pisces. The exact conjunction will occur within a few days, on April 10 or 11 more exactly, depending on timezone. 

As we discussed in Asteria, the energy buildup will begin just as the two planets are in orb, meaning some days prior to their exact conjunction. They will reach their peak during the exact conjunction and the separating aspect will see the development of events that had been shapen by the energy buildup.

Prediction

A partial solar eclipse will occur on the 25th, next week, in the second degree of Scorpio. It will be followed by a total lunar eclipse in Taurus (the sixteenth degree, I think) some two weeks later. Both eclipses will be visible in a part of the world where a leader has overstayed his time in office and I will detail on this forther on. 

I predict these two eclipses will cause said leader to lose his power within six month to an year. I'm saying this because the solar eclipse will occur in his twelfth house, which will likely stir up plots from hidden enemies, while the lunar eclipse will occur in his seventh house. Given his bellicose nature, I think that eclipse will put a stop to his fighting ways while at the same time conceal his open enemies from acting against him.

Manifest your destiny (and then some)

A few years ago I was busy writing a book on destiny and how one could ease themselves towards it using occult means. I wrote more than half of it before I started postponing writing on it more and more. I ended up shelving it for good and now that I stopped writing for good that's all gone. I still have the text though.

But I added some key ideas from it in my article "When 'the above' says 'no': Reasons spells go bust" in Asteria Unveiled. The method is also greatly alluded to in the article "A Bacchic tale: Uncorking planetary spirits" in the same book, but anyone interested in going down that road would need more insight and research. Hints can also be found in the article on eclipses as well as in Asteria. A more in-depth study of the astrological houses inside one's natal chart would be a good idea, but one must also not overlook the zodiac signs too.

Lunar petitions for beginners

In light of the Full Moon in domicile today, Monday (night, depending on where you live), I think this article is very appropriate. I posted a very short version of the text on a couple of fb groups for beginners a few years ago and for the most part it went unnoticed. I posted it because I thought beginners would benefit from it, but I guess people in those groups were more interested in memes and ads, including the noobs.

Aside from the fact I think any occult group that allows memes is pretty much a dead end for any noob, I will expand more on the original text to elaborate on the method. Keep in mind this method is aimed at noobs so don't expect me to go into advanced techniques.

Godhead assumption through the Middle Pillar

I wrote the following article three years ago and it was published online by Spiral Nature Magazine. Their website has stopped working for some time and, since they published nothing for more than a couple of years, I'm thinking they must've closed up shop. Because of this, anything posted there is in danger of being lost, sadly. Not just my stuff would be lost as a result, but many other articles that have helped me over time. Unfortunately, I cannot salvage anything that was not written by me...

Here is the article itself and I will try to edit it to make sense because it's being copied from a pdf file that was formatted much differently than a standard word doc. The article itself was edited by a staff member of Spiral Nature - Steve, if I can remember correctly.

Empowered Tree of Life Exercise

I have recently started doing this exercise I have been lead towards by the beyond. After a few repetitions I find it do be quite potent, more potent than the usual Middle Pillar exercise and with longer lasting effects even. 

I see no reason for it to be performed during regular rituals in which spirit conjuration is involved, for the regular Middle Pillar should suffice. I for one use my own version of that during such rituals. It would fit for a stand alone magical practice session for anyone willing to add a solid Qabalistic working to their usual daily rites. 

DO NOT USE THE LINK IN THE PDF. USE THIS ONE INSTEAD BECAUSE THE MAGAZINE SITE STOPPED WORKING A WHILE AGO.

Abducted by TikTok

 

Yours truly made it to TikTok. Here's the promo to the article on eclipses we wrote. Well, Andres and Mario did most of the work, so I'm kinda embarrassed to take any credit for it. Nevertheless, I hope Spanish speaking people everywhere will enjoy it. By the way, the level of enthusiasm and professionalism these guys are showing is far beyond my bull-in-a-china-shop way of doing things.

Thank you, Andres! Thank you, Mario!

Hate on, dum-dums!

Article on eclipses

I've recently been invited by Andres (see the links to his fb page and blog de la magia to the right of the page) to co-author an article that covers the topic of eclipses. It does so from a mythological and magical, but also from an astrological and astronomical perspective.  

The article is written en Español and you can access it *here*. You can also access it to the left of the page, in the section covering my online articles. Talk about horizontal transfer of knowledge ;)

Enjoy!

Thank you, Andres! Thank you, Mario!
