The dissonance between peopleβs lived experiences and the mainstream narrative of reality is creating a tension in society like an old rubber band stretched a little too far.
With this much violence in the world it seems obvious that there is too much masculine energy and not enough feminine energy. The world needs less aggro dick measuring and more holding space and caring for each other.
So many of our myths have been reconstituted into tales of heroic violence and stripped of their inconvenient complexities that we can't bear not to be the hero of every story and this makes us very vulnerable to manipulation by narrative.
Hope is strong enough to get you through the times when nothing else is. Hope compels our "better angels" to prevail over far more convenient devils. In dark times, foster hope for more beautiful futures.
Sometimes even good things are a beating in the momentβ¦a little time can change everything.
Belief makes the improbable, possible -and faith empowers belief. Don't take on big, risky goals until you've got faith sorted or your disbelief will undermine your efforts. And devotion to something greater than yourself is the most reliable source of faith in the cosmos.
Spirit communication is easier than anyone thinks at first but making sense of the messages you receive is a different thing altogether. postmugglism.com/when-gods-sp...
Gratitude is a prerequisite for abundance because if you can't feel gratitude for what you already have you don't have space for more in your life.
You can't find inner peace, you can only make it...but it is easier to make peace with yourself in some places than others.
Many of us are blind to what's happening in the world, some of us are concerned, but few of us are living the changes we want to see. The good news is that can change at any moment...
Vitality, confidence, and charisma are all solar virtues. You can enhance your personal power (and your good fortunes) by infusing yourself with the magical power of the Sun. www.postmugglism.com/solar-ritual...
The best DIY hack for clearing your energy field is a good swim in the ocean. It's not going to exorcise your lifelong demons but it will get the devil off your shoulder.
'Magical thinking' is a phrase typically used disparagingly, but I think it's ripe for reclaiming...the limits of rationality are showing.
Ep. 22 of The Postmugglism Podcast is out now! Tune in as I reconstruct a modern practice for engaging with household spirits from the many ancient traditions recorded by Claude Lecouteux in his fabulous series on spirits of place. postmugglism.com/ep-22-the-en...
Unpopular reality check: If food comes in packaging, it's probably not good for you, even if it says that it is.
Unlike people who are just into the aesthetic, or like the counter-cultural aspect of the occult, some of us are out here doing magic like the future depends on it.
Thanks to all the retrograde planets, the only decent lunar mansion elections next month were gnarly malefic ones. Have a blessed September everyone!
Itβs weird to me how many astrologers, cartomancers, and even self-described magicians and witches, are afraid to believe that magic is really, truly real and not just mind tricks and depth psychology.
Attempting to empty the mind while meditating is a *mostly* overrated practice that unfortunately turns off newbie meditators right away in frustration. It is far more effective to focus on a single, simple thought than nothing at all. Count sets of 10 breaths, for example.
I find spirit contact in general to be a βquantum entanglementβ thing, so yeah, for sure.
Have you tried to make contact with your local spirits?
No one:
Me: Did you know that the image of the 13th lunar mansion is βa man with an erectionβ and today the Moon is in that mansion and trine man-slutty Jupiter (Zeus) in Taurus? ππ
Behavior patterns run in the family line and will replicate in your kids if they still exist in you. If the original wound exists before your time, a shamanic healer can cut the energetic cord that connects you to this karma while you focus your intention on letting it go.
Thereβs a difference between believing magic is real and believing you are capable of working magic. Itβs not for everyoneβ¦if itβs for you, youβll know it in your fucking bones.
Beautiful sentiment. If only I could stand being around my family that muchβ¦
Less thinking, more feeling is the way to balance. But donβt stew in your feelings, acknowledge them and allow them to pass.
Spiritual initiation is underrated. Initiation into specific magical orders and communities is overrated.
Put down a good 4000 words today. I love how a good writing project fills in the gaps in your own understanding as you hunt down the little details that bring it to life.
