Deeper into the unknown

This is another free followup article on the twelfth astrological house. I've briefly discussed the nature of the twelfth house in this article and I elaborated on it in my article "A living hell: The eerie twelfth house" from Asteria 2. I've also discussed despair more in depth, it being a twelfth house theme. This article detail a few other twelfth house themes which affect an individual from both a micro and a macrocosmic perspective.

In the article from Asteria 2 I spoke about solitude as being part of the twelfth house bag of goodies. Solitude has its good sides and I also spoke about it from the perspective of monks who seek mystical experiences. But solitude can be good for us laymen as well since every so often we might feel the need to sit alone with our own thoughts due to various reasons, especially when the world around is constantly pushing us along more rapid lanes. In this case, brief periods of solitude can help one more or less center themselves, perform self reflection, possibly even eliminate stress and charge one's self with confidence, determination, etc. Needless to say, constant periods of solitude are necessary for someone who's actively involved in the occult due to obvious reasons.

Los cielos se abren

Los cielos se abren: Magia planetaria práctica has been published and is available for everyone interested to work with planetary forces actively. More importantly, it is available for every Spanish speaking person out there because it's written in Spanish and will only be available in Spanish. 

I know, I know, I said I was done with writing. And I am! It's just that for some time now I've been receiving messages from people with Spanish as their native tongue asking me if I'll ever write a book on planetary magick that will be available in their language. I wasn't planning to, until I got the last message, then it came to me!

There's a lot of Spanish speaking people out there who don't speak English and most occult material is solely available in English. Goes to show how much them self-proclaimed experts, teachers and occult role models really care about spreading knowledge, even if they'd benefit from it financially... All they see is their immediate needs and it seems I was right about their narrow perspective in regards to woowoo, since it's clear it also applies in other areas too. Tough luck, dumbasses! As someone from around here whom I consider a dumbass used to say, "Should I give them my brain? I can't *shrug*" so that's that.

Mercury retrograde experiment

Now that Mercury retro's almost over it's time to reveal the results of my magical experiment I've conducted based on the methods I discuss in Magick Pills for Hard Transits. 

The experiment consisted in me casting on a relative to help them get through this period without unnecessary obstacles and them performing a simple petition to Mercury for the same purpose, the likes I've discussed here (something I offer as an example in the aforementioned book). Meanwhile, I was the control sample and did nothing for myself. I didn't even rely on my talismans whenever I had to undertake several tasks, just so I'd remove any magical backup that would have me overcome some of the effects of the retro. I only had my charm and good looks that have been magically enhanced beforehand and which cannot be returned to their factory settings without having to cast again for that purpose, something I'm not willing to do because I spent a lot of time waiting for proper times to perform such things on myself - they're ongoing. I offered a brief example of this in Magic Words.

Coming soon

Making this short post to announce the appearance of my planetary magick book that will be published very soon. The book will only be available in Spanish since there's already way too much material on this subject in English. 

But this one is mine so you should expect it to differ more or less from what's out there ;) And it will be available only on Lulu.

I will post the official article announcing its publication as soon as it drops so stay tuned!

Hate on, dum-dums!

The Great Gazoo

Quick astro weather forecast

Here's a quick astro forecast for the seven classical planets. It should help people with little astrological knowledge figure out which planets are good to work with for some time. The idea is not to be stupid (or greedy) and work with planets (for money) during inauspicious times. For more details look up Asteria. 

Notice I tagged each planet and each respective tag is to an article about a talismanic election. You can give it a shot by making those talismans whenever the right time comes or do whichever other working with your planet of choice.

Purely astronomical

With a little over a month until the summer solstice I want to discuss a bit on these astronomical events. Over time I've encountered quite a few occultists who have a boner for solstices. They go out of their way to flood social media with pretty or more nauseating pictures of altars and all that, showing off the physical aspects of their solar workings at those times.

In reality, solstices are not that important from a planetary magick perspective. Sure, there are esoteric implications and symbolism and you can take advantage of the overall natural energetic patterns as we've mentioned in Asteria, but for planetary work they are irrelevant. Even worse, they are inauspicious times for working with the Sun.

Picatrix decan talismans

Mars has entered its decan in Pisces and afterwards it will enter its decan in Aries. Besides the obvious increase in the planet's strength, in the former case due to triplicity and decan and in the latter by its domicile and decan, this is a good time for decan talismans.
