Moon election

With a few planets retro and a couple others irritated, I thought working with the Moon would be a good idea. For that reason I selected the following election that would allow people to make potent lunar talismans. Or you can just call on lunar entities and ask them for whatever (falls in their sphere of influence).

I could've made the Moon even stronger by having it in its decan as well, but my geographical location won't allow it. I could've waited for Saturday for that although I chose not to due to the enmity between Saturn and the Moon's energies.
We see the waxing Moon exalted, in its triplicity and on the MC (and also in sect). It is separating from a conjunction with a retro Jupiter it easily overpowers, rendering this aspect a minor inconvenience at worse.

"Winter is coming"

Wiinter has come in my neck of the woods. There hasn't been much snow so far, mostly wetness and cold, but that's besides the point.

With the arrival of winter I remembered what man who spent some 10 years in Russia told me more than once. Then I remembered even seeing at least a couple of TV documentaries addressing that topic although in little detail. But the important thing for me was them mentioning it.

I'm referring to magical workings performed by certain people in Russia during time of need in order to defeat invading enemies. The man I mentioned travel all across Russia, from Murmansk to the Caucasus and from Moscow to Vladivostok. He met various folk, some of them telling him about such magical workings.

Spirit Pentagrams

In light of Mr. Farrell's recent article on Pentagrams a thought occurred to me. What if I employ the Spirit Pentagrams in my procedure of charging magical products?

What I mean is it occurred to me I could trace the Active Spirit Pentagram over the talisman or elixir during the process. I still consider whether it'd be better to trace it prior to or just after conjuring the spirit(s). This Pentagram would add a layer of raw spiritual force to the working.

Case study: lunar nodes

Recently I've talked with a lady who studies Vedic astrology. She told me in regards to the lunar nodes "with Rahu and Ketu you can define a whole man". I went on to tell her that imo Rahu and Ketu, the North and South Node, define the person and the rest of the chart represents strengths and weaknesses when it comes to them dealing with their nodes' influences. She agreed.

We've discussed the lunar nodes in Asteria and I've written a special article on them in regards to magical operations in Asteria 2. We've also discussed the nodes from the perspective of eclipses in this free article.

What follows is a few examples of people I came to meet over the past year who stood out to me as manifesting their natal nodes' influences in certain houses. In some cases I'm not aware of their birth data and even in many of those cases I don't know their birth times. But despite their charts showing certain placements and aspects, what they've told me of their lives so far made me identify certain patterns that probably represent their nodes' influences.

More on the twelfth house

I talked about the twelfth house in detail in the specific article from Asteria 2. Now I want to offer a complex example of twelfth house themes, especially self sabotage and curses. As you will find out if you explore my example in depth via the sources I offer, these themes converge into sorrow, despair and anguish for those who are subjected to them.

The example I want to offer consists in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Children of Húrin, a lengthy tale of the First Age, thousands of years before the Fellowship of the Ring began its journey towards Mount Doom. The tale itself has its own chapter in The Silmarillion although it's but a shorter version of the one found in the book bearing its name.

Before you read the book I want to draw your attention to this channel that does a great job at explaining Tolkien's universe in detail. The onwer just posted the next to last hour long of the thirteen videos in which he retells and explains in detail this particular story. His previous videos cover stories that happened previously in the timeline so you'd know how it all came to be at the beginning of this one.

Conjuration

Early on my magical path I was told by Scott a spirit's sigil is like its personal phone number. Just like a human can have more than one phone number, each spirit can have more than a single sigil, whether they're found in old grimoires or they're generated from a kamea, etc.

But then why wouldn't a spirit be conjured using more than one conjuration formula? I mean there isn't a single, unique recitation of words that would have the spirit show up. There can be more than one verbal construction, some longer and other shorter that can be used for this purpose.

Naturally, such constructions need to contain specific words and phrasing as to have a greater impact on the spiritual world and determine the spirits to show up. If a spirit's sigil is akin to ita phone number, then the conjuration formula would be like diling that number although this is not a good comparison.

Lilith book review

"The Astrology of the Black Moon: A Guide to Healing the Shadow Side" by Laura Walker is a very good source for those willing to understand this mysterious force in greater detail. Even though the book is less than a hundred pages, the author has done an outstanding job at describing Black Moon's nature and influences. While I would've loved for this force to be dealt with in regards to relationships as well within the book, the description of its influences in a natal chart are extremely valuable.

I like this book so much I even used it as source material for Asteria and it also became source material for Asteria 2.
