ASTERIA 2

Asteria Unveiled: Celestial mysteries revealed 

Has finally published by Lord Manticore. FINALLY!!!

This is the followup volume to Asteria, a work that branches out from its predecessor and expands on various applications of astrology in magick. Even though some concepts presented inside come with short explanations, the material requires people to be readily aware of it since it was explained in detail in Asteria. So if you are not familiar with those concepts you could read Asteria first or look up whatever information you require using various other sources when you come across it in the second book. 

Asteria Unveiled addresses both older concepts which it masterfully discusses in new ways, and newer ones which it thoroughly details, offering more than enough information for people to enrich their magical practices. There were cases where it was necessary to skip over most of the explanations and not because we're jerks or anything, but because they would require entire volumes and, truth be told, it would make a pretty much boring read anyway. As a result, we injected the text with highly concentrated small doses of explanations just so readers would understand the concepts presented. So although this book has less number of pages than Asteria, the highly concentrated doses of knowledge it contains would keep people busy for a long time.

Feedback + insights

I just received this email from someone who seems satisfied by my services and I'm happy it worked out well for him. This is one of those cases where the spell manifested over a longer time, as in the person got hired after some five months following my ritual. Which is lame imo since I expected things to work much faster, but at the same time I did tell the client it was not the best election I could find... Nevertheless, the fact he is happy with the results means a great deal to me.

I do find it interesting that he thinks the spell is still working. While I phrased the command in such a way as to leave it working until it runs out of steam, I thought that once he (finally!) got a job the spirit would cease all activity. Apparently that is not the case and I tend to believe him since he possesses innate psychic traits that allow him to receive signs and messages in dreams. Since he's put this ability to the test more than once and has found it accurate, I would thereby assume he is right in this case as well which means the spirit is still going at it.

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.
