Steadfastness

Our farmer's done it again, only this time he's outdone himself!

I haven't asked him for permission to share his name so I'll simply refer to him as Jordan, especially since there's some dumbass Christians in the area where he lives who are likely to start acting like bitches toward him if they ever found out what he's been doing. Being a Christian myself, I think very low of such people, regardless of their sect...

But anyway, ever since Jordan became my client he and I have been having a very productive conversation in regards to occult related themes. More exactly, we've been discussing occult methods of improving farming, from the quality and quantity of crops to methods of protecting them from hazards. Truth be told this is new territory to me since aside from being very familiar with farm work, I had yet to explore magical workings for such goals. Moreover, we've been talking about other things such as apocryphal texts, Adam Kadmon and so on.

While Jordan's previous success in causing rain for his crops was notable, he told me there's more need for rain since his region is about to enter the most demanding time for crops in terms of water shortage. Turns out he lives in the Ohio valley and, although I went through that region by car during an awful downpour some time in late November, September is the driest month in that part of the US. This would obviously raise the need for irrigation, which in turn increases farmers' expenses.

Lilith in synastry - patterns

"Getting down and dirty: Astrology and love spells" from Asteria 2 offers readers useful information with respect to astrological implications in relationships and how those implications can enforce or hinder love spells. Black Moon Lilith, BML or Lilith in short, is ever so present among that information because its energies can and will subject people to great intensity if the synastry conditions are right. This happens regardless of whether some take them into account or otherwise, especially them holier-than-thou "experts" who don't believe even the energies of the (physical) planets affect life on Earth, let alone something as apparently meager as a fictional point.

While there are more than a few possible synastry combinations BML can be involved in, the hard ones being addressed in The Magick of Astrorelationships, there are undeniable patterns such synastry aspects generate both between and within two individuals who share them. These patterns can be noticed by an outside observer as well as someone who's experiencing them themselves. Both objective and subjective perspectives complement each other and reveal a clearer picture of the patterns.

Check on Earth

Anyone who's read "A Bacchic tale: Uncorking planetary spirits" by Mr. Farrell in Asteria 2 has come across a chapter entitled "checks on Earth". In that chapter the author discusses signs that point towards rituals working and lists several such signs for each of the seven classical planets.

A while ago I took it upon myself to clean up a certain area using occult means. I passionately hate that area and wholeheartedly despise everyone there for reasons that are beyond this article. I'll resume to say it's one of those areas parapsychology refers to as geopathogenic and one does not have to believe in such things to easily observe its horrible nature and that of its people compared to nearby areas.

Procrastination

In the article "A living hell: The eerie twelfth house" from Asteria 2 I discussed Mr. Farrell's axiom with respect to the first year of magical practice and how it is influenced by Saturn, with the second year being influenced by Jupiter. I then linked this with twelfth house themes and further elaborated more on those themes. I left out several themes out of the need to make the article more compact, one such theme being procrastination. 

Procrastination is defined as "the action of delaying or postponing something". A quick look into the psychology behind procrastination made me come across information that has a lot in common with what I wrote in this article, being complementary to the latter, and together forming a great part of a person's mechanism of self sabotage. The same mechanism makes an individual both distance themselves from others as well as procrastinate. Some people are more prone to manifest one of these aspects to greater extent although there are certain individuals who manifest both of them roughly with the same intensity, yours truly having been part of the latter category for many years.

Talisman - sixteenth lunar mansion

Again the heavens allow for making a money talisman with the help of the sixteenth lunar mansion, Azebene (Al Zubana). The spirit of the mansion is Azeruch (Azeruel). The image to be inscribed on the talisman is a man seated on a throne holding a scale.

The election is for NYC time although I think the time the Moon spends in this mansion makes the election available on all meridians. Just make sure the Moon is in between 12*51' and 25*42' Libra and rising (on ASC) or culminating (on MC).

Ecce homo

Whenever you're looked at ultra deep field cosmic images, know you're seeing baby pictures of physical Adam Kadmon.

Appeasing Mother Nature

It's insane to think we as humans can subdue nature since it's shown time and again it can easily overwhelm us regardless of our technological progress. What we can do is to minimize whatever unpleasant surprises it throws our way. At the same time we need to understand that any such events we usually consider unpleasant are part of nature's self regulating patterns in response to increasing human activity and even more so, greater climatic cycles we have yet to comprehend (in detail).

If winter time can bring paralyzing storms and blizzards, summer is the playground for heat waves and drought that often cause wildfires. Lately I've been hearing of such devastating events happening all around, from the Greek islands to south-western France. In some cases such fires are a result of arson, in others of carelessness, while many more are natural occurrences. Whatever the case, it would be less likely for the fires to spread so fast and cause such damage if they encountered more resistance in the environment.
