Beware combustion

I imagine many are aware Jupiter is in domicile and therefore it must be powerful so they rush to do as much Jupiter woowoo as possible. And yes, Jupiter is indeed strong and you can find what's amplifying Jupiter's power a bit more in here. 

However, I've mentioned combustion a few times along the way and the last time was here. Now Jupiter is combust and so it will manifest its powers more erratically. Therefore, I for one would refrain from working beneficial magick with Jupiter until March 18 when the Sun will have distanced itself enough from Jupiter for the combustion to end. Except on March 5 when Jupiter will be cazimi and its energies will be amplified by the Sun. But that's it.

Talisman - third lunar mansion 2

Back in the initial article on the third lunar mansion talisman I mentioned not everyone can use that particular election. I also said those who can't use that election because geographical reasons can do one on March 6. At the same time, I said this second election is not as pretty as the initial one because the chart overall is not as smooth as that one.

Teaser 3

This is going to be the last teaser for the future book and it's going to be short. Here is the first one, then the second one. And I first announced this book in the article on the twelfth house.

Asteria Unveiled: Celestial Mysteries Revealed published by Lord Manticore House will be out on March 5. This will be my second work published by Lord Fluffball after Magic Words.

More details will be offered in a specific article after its publishing.

Hate on, dum-dums!

The Great Gazoo

More on magical resistance

This is a follow-up to my previous article on the topic of magical resistance - what stands in the way of successful spells. I will be more specific in terms of details and explanations and for this reason I will address spells and rituals that employ planetary forces because many out there work exclusively with them (for some reason).

I have detailed the planetary dignities in this article and they should be considered by anyone who's doing planetary magick and wants to improve their results. By looking at those details we can see each of the seven classical planets becomes more or less stronger whenever it transits through certain zodiac sectors. Their strengths vary depending on each sector's type. It is a no brainer one would want to work with a planet when it's transiting through a sector in which it is very strong. But then...

Talismans

Concerning my post in which I discussed the possibility of providing extra services in the form of making and selling talismans, I want to give you a couple of examples with respect to their looks when I make them. The following photos depict an experimental Rigel talisman and a Jupiter one detailed by Agrippa in Book II, Chapter 39: "They made also another Image of Jupiter for a religious and glorious life, and advancement of fortune; whose figure was a man having the head of a Lyon or a Ram, and Eagles feet, cloathed in Saffron coloured cloathes, and he was called the son of Jupiter."

As you can see, they're are less than pretty. Although they were made and consecrated in one go during very auspicious times in both cases, I'm pretty sure not everyone would want to wear them as accessories as they're far from being attractive from that perspective.

Teaser 2

As mentioned in the previous article, here is another teaser for the upcoming book. I'm saying another teaser because I've already published one a while back. And since people keep asking me about its topic and I keep answering it consists of a series of standalone articles, each covering different topics, I decided to be less ambiguous and go a bit more in detail.

By a bit more I mean a whole lot more and speak about each article in turn, without actually going into details, i.e. offering too many spoilers. The underlying theme is practical application of astrology in magick and each article will do that from different angles while providing more or less theoretical and/or practical details. By this I mean some articles will be more theoretical, others more practical and others will be both theoretical and practical in roughly the same amount. 

The book turned out not as lengthy as Asteria but this one is more specific, branching out from the former into particular directions. Some of those directions have yet to be explored in detail especially in astrology so some people would question any possible magical application they may have. Yet even if they might not have an actual magical application, magicians would benefit greatly by taking them into account whenever the situation arises. We have yet to establish the final order of the ten articles and it is very probable their number will remain as it is if no stroke of genius or compulsive urge to write more hits any of us in the mean time. So when I mention them in an apparent order it's for the purpose of enumeration alone.

MILESTONE

This is going to be the last post of its kind because it's getting pretty silly for me to celebrate getting an all-time record number of viewers that others get in one month. Or even less than what others get in one month. But again, I didn't expect this blog would go this far back when I started it.

All I can do is to thank you all who've looked it up and to keep posting stuff you'll find interesting and most importantly, stuff that'll help you improve your techniques and get better results. The planetary talisman experiment series (the Moon article is linked and you'll find the links to all others in there) is still workable for the most part in terms of the elections I've proposed, but you can make those talismans later on at times when the planets are strong. You can also use the elections for other kinds of planetary rituals.
