YeatsI've just learned that Aeon Books has decided to bring out a deluxe edition of my forthcoming book The Magical Writings of W.B. Yeats.

Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 231

bugs for the winWe are now into the fifth year of these open posts. When I first posted a tentative hypothesis on the course of the Covid phenomenon, I had no idea that discussion on the subject would still be necessary all these years later, much less that it would turn into so lively, complex, and troubling a conversation. Still, here we are. Crude death rates and other measures of collapsing public health remain anomalously high in many countries, but nobody in authority wants to talk about the inadequately tested experimental Covid injections that are the most likely cause; public health authorities government shills for the pharmaceutical industry are still trying to push through laws that will allow them to force vaccinations on anyone they want; public trust in science is collapsing; new revelations are leaking out about just how bad the Covid vaccines are for human health; and the story continues to unfold.

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before:

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry and its government enablers are causing injury and death on a massive scale. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its wholly owned politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here. 
 
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue. 

4. If you plan on making off topic comments, please go away. This is an open post for discussion of the Covid epidemic, the vaccines, drugs, policies, and other measures that supposedly treat it, and other topics directly relevant to those things. It is not a place for general discussion of unrelated topics. Nor is it a place to ask for medical advice; giving such advice, unless you're a licensed health care provider, legally counts as practicing medicine without a license and is a crime in the US. Don't even go there.


5. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religions, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

6. Please don't just post bare links without explanation. A sentence or two telling readers what's on the other side of the link is a reasonable courtesy, and if you don't include it, your attempted post will be deleted.

7. Please don't post LLM ("AI") generated text. This is a place for human beings to talk to other human beings, not for the regurgitation of machine-generated text. Also, please don't discuss large language models (the technology popularly and inaccurately called "artificial intelligence" these days) except as they bear directly on the Covid phenomenon. Here again, my finger is hovering over the delete button. 

Please also note that nothing posted here should be construed as medical advice, which neither I nor the commentariat (excepting those who are licensed medical providers) are qualified to give. Please take your medical questions to the licensed professional provider of your choice.


With that said, the floor is open for discussion.  

A Message from the Future

Feb. 16th, 2026 11:52 am

First, allow me to dispel a few rumors about my time. We don’t have flying cars or jet packs, but we are not exactly living in mud huts either. The Revolution never came, though many people wasted their lives waiting for it. Politicians still exist and they are as corrupt and useless as ever. There is still a mainstream media, but the fantasies the average human being suffering total and complete brainwashing from it from cradle to grave were highly exaggerated. 


The one thing that can be said is that we don’t have the same kind of luxuries you guys used to take for granted. For instance, food. We get avocados and oranges once a year at the grocery store, and that grocery store has no competition within a five mile area because most people walk or bike to it. There’s a bus that makes the rounds once a week to the market area of town, but if you want to be on it, you have to get up early. The kids around here do not know what a pistachio or an almond tastes like, but they are extremely familiar with sunflower seeds and peanut butter. Speaking of peanut butter, finding a kid who is allergic to peanut butter is like spotting a narwhal on an ocean voyage — extremely rare. Nobody vaccinates anymore, and when people finally stopped getting themselves and their kids jabbed, rates of allergies and autism mysteriously hit rock bottom. I’m not sure why it took so long for average people to realize that good hygiene and nutrition were actually responsible for the defeat of various infectious diseases. I’m not surprised however, because people of your era knew next to nothing about the energy body or the etheric level of existence. Nowadays, it is taught in medical school.


Now, don’t go thinking we live in some kind of health utopia. People die younger than they did in your era. When a child gets cancer, we make them as comfortable as possible, but we do not have the resources or the sadistic drive to put him or her through a rat maze of treatments. When anyone past the age of 70 gets cancer or has a heart attack, we don’t intervene except for giving him or her the “good” drugs and practical and spiritual end of life guidance. This probably seems cruel to you. To us, your way of extending quantity of years without quality was not only cruel, it was moronic, wasteful, and insane. 


From our purview, you guys subsisted as much as you lived. The saddest of our elderly are the gaming and porn addicts (these two things often went hand in hand). Many of these relics of your era are women — women still tend to live longer than men. They were once girls who were addicted to dopamine by the tender age of three. Enabled by indulgent parents, these women have never worked or married. They have remained adolescents well after menopause. The internet gradually became so expensive, only the rich could afford the kind of wi-fi you have at Starbucks (I remember those!) for free. Most people of your era thought server farms were forever, not having any clue of how much those places cost or the kind of subsidies and energetic inputs it takes just to cool them. Anyway, most of these women’s parents died right around the time internet prices got jacked, and there they were with no income, no skills, and the mentality of a spoiled 12 year old in a world that eats those sorts of people alive. 


Anyone who had an adult autistic brother, sister, or cousin had already taken them in as the last of the Millennials died off. The nursing home system was already broken in your era by private equity — look into it. There are entire outdoor cities of homeless, autistic adults living on the streets, and their unit of currency is often a working wi-fi connection to what little is left of the internet. There are gaming dens run by sleaze bags where old people go to whittle away their remaining time on vintage games like World of Warcraft and Nomrial Legends on a local intranet while pretending it is still 2010. 


The old porn and video game addicts usually live in group homes, which are warehouses of death and suffering unlike anything you ever imagined. Most criminals vastly prefer jail and prison to those places; they’re abattoirs and everyone knows if you go in, you never come back. There is not much you can do with an elderly person who lacks the skills to work the most menial of retail positions, and the service industry ain’t what it used to be, so there aren’t many retail jobs outside the town market.


For those of you who think we are some kind of idiocracy because of the pathetic state of education in the world you left to us, actually, you guys are the idiots and we don’t look upon the educators of your era too kindly. Most of you indefinitely kicked the can of not knowing how to do anything down the road. That’s why you all went to college and grad school long after it was extremely apparent that all that did was to suck you into a river of debt. Your incompetence, however, was arguably worse than the debt you left. We have had to resurrect almost every old skill you forgot about, and we had to do it in weird ways. Some of us preserved old web sites and web pages on old computers. The old internet had a wealth of information on how to do stuff on it. It wasn’t all porn and games. Some of us collected books and started libraries. These libraries became a lifeline for those who actually had the motivation to learn useable skills. Most of us had no choice but to discard both health insurance and allopathic medicine in general because we could not afford to be perpetually sick like you guys.


You guys spend an awful lot of time feeling sorry for yourselves and then trying to medicate your sorrows away with things that cost a ton of money and time. Gratitude does not seem to have been a thing in your era, and the ones who practiced it were fringe outliers. You guys used to fly around the world even if you did not need to do it, costing both your society and the Earth itself in ways you never bothered to count. People who used to travel overseas to visit with family do not do that anymore, and the few elites that do it are heavily criticized and do it via ship. There are still luxury ocean liners, but they always have a dual purpose as cargo ships that deliver food and supplies wherever they stop. Everything has dual or triple purpose now. That is our modernity. We don’t just do one thing. Also, we don’t go to college for what we can learn at home. Most people are farmers now, whether it is only the front yard or a full, working agricultural hub. You romanticize farming as if it was always easy and fun. There are beautiful farms, sure, but it is not as bucolic as you make it. There are thin years when we have to depend on five year old canned tomatoes in order to avoid scurvy. That said, the food we eat is far better than yours ever was, despite you guys having much more complexity and variety. My neighbor grows goji berries. Another makes medicines. Not useless, addictive medicines, actual tinctures that work and teas comfort and cure colds. We may not have pistachios and chocolate, but we have regular mealtimes and time with family to enjoy our meals. There is no such thing as out of season produce, and that is why our food tastes so good. Everyone either knows how to cook or knows someone who can, and we never have to worry about bugs or spit in our food. Sugar costs a lot of money so there are understandably not so many addicted to it outside of the old and the rich. Sugar caused a lot of your health problems by the way, and so did your addiction to caffeine and ways of getting rid of excess corn, a.k.a. "cheap" meat. 


People of your era are increasingly hated, and Gen Z and Alpha are coming into their own where being hated is concerned because they were the last generations able to get away with the materialist excesses that bankrupted the people being born right now long before they were itches in their Daddie’s pants. Your spiritual leaders are especially mocked, such as the succession of Dalai Lamas. That’s no longer a thing.  Spiritual leaders are not taken seriously if they have ever lived in a McMansion. Boy, you guys were gullible. Speaking of crappy leaders, most European monarchies were dissolved in the wake of assorted conspiracy theories becoming conspiracy facts. 


We have more local government now, and when we get truly tired of a leader whom we feel has betrayed us, he or she goes to the public gallows. There is thing called accountability that is more in fashion than it was in your time. We also don’t tolerate child molesters. They are either hung or taken to the same slaughterhouse as cows and pigs and we kill them via captive bolt. We don’t waste good bullets on those pathetic creatures. 


Housing became cheap a couple of decades ago. The system that was keeping house prices inflated finally collapsed enough for the average couple to start a homestead in the country or the emptied-out cities and suburbs without much more than a wing and a prayer. There was a tiny population surge but not much. Most people’s reproduction has been compromised by birth control chemicals in the water from women who took the Pill or its equivalents, chem trails, MRNA vaccination, low sperm count and isolation because of porn usage, and environmental factors such as plastic particles in everything. The biggest challenge is keeping your house roughly weatherproofed and standing, not affording it. We salvage everything we can from the junk you guys left behind. We scrap your old office buildings for metal and copper. We use cubicle walls as insulation. I have even seen those stupid desk organizer things you used to have in boatloads made into herb gardens. 


I could go on if I didn’t have so much work to do. I am a writer: we still have those. I did not go to college for it, in fact like most, I dropped out of school at age 12. My writing does not save me from doing dishes, laundry, or growing and preserving food like everyone else. All in all, I would say that I have a good life, and others do as well. People work themselves to death just as they did in your era, but they are far more likely to do it under the golden sun surrounded by people they love, not locked away alone in some godforsaken hospital.

Anyways, I’m off to do my chores. 

Magic Monday

[personal profile] ecosophia
crowns of knowledgeIt's getting on for midnight and so it's time to launch a new Magic Monday. Ask me anything about occultism, and with certain exceptions noted below, any question received by midnight Monday Eastern time will get an answer. Please note:  Any question or comment received after that point will not get an answer, and in fact will not be put through.  If you're in a hurry, or suspect you may be the 341,928th person to ask a question, please check out the very rough version 1.3 of The Magic Monday FAQ here

Also:
 I will not be putting through or answering any more questions about practicing magic around children. I've answered those in simple declarative sentences in the FAQ. If you read the FAQ and don't think your question has been answered, read it again. If that doesn't help, consider remedial reading classes; yes, it really is as simple and straightforward as the FAQ says.  And further:  I've decided that questions about getting goodies from spirits are also permanently off topic here. The point of occultism is to develop your own capacities, not to try to bully or wheedle other beings into doing things for you. I've discussed this in a post on my blog.

(The image? I've finished the sequence of my published books; while I decide what I want to do next, I have some memes to share.)

Buy Me A Coffee

Ko-Fi

I've had several people ask about tipping me for answers here, and though I certainly don't require that I won't turn it down. You can use either of the links above to access my online tip jar; Buymeacoffee is good for small tips, Ko-Fi is better for larger ones. (I used to use PayPal but they developed an allergy to free speech, so I've developed an allergy to them.) If you're interested in political and economic astrology, or simply prefer to use a subscription service to support your favorite authors, you can find my Patreon page here and my SubscribeStar page here
 
Bookshop logoI've also had quite a few people over the years ask me where they should buy my books, and here's the answer. Bookshop.org is an alternative online bookstore that supports local bookstores and authors, which a certain gargantuan corporation doesn't, and I have a shop there, which you can check out here. Please consider patronizing it if you'd like to purchase any of my books online.

And don't forget to look up your Pangalactic New Age Soul Signature at CosmicOom.com.

With that said, have at it! 

***This Magic Monday is now closed and no further comments will be put through. See you next week!***

Ogham Readings on Saturdays

[personal profile] kimberlysteele



I am happy to read your Ogham free of charge -- that's how I hone my divination skills. Please limit your reading request to four or fewer Ogham cards: though this can take many forms, here are some common ones (all of them are basically combos of 4 cards):

 
-a single three card reading for the week or month and a one-off, one card reading
-four questions about four separate items that require one answer (card) per item
-a one card reading to answer a specific question and a three card for a more nuanced question
-Two separate readings, two cards a piece exploring the positives and negatives of two different choices

I am happy to do Ogham readings confidentially via emails -- just email me at k steele studio at gmail during the allotted time/before deadline. I cannot answer health questions. If you have a question about health or another sensitive, private matter, provide a bunch of non-identifying information and the Ogham will be able to figure it out even if I don't. I'm serious... the Ogham actually tend to "know" things without me being privy to what is going on.

Please note I take time off during Solstices and Equinoxes for Druid stuff and because sometimes I simply need a break.

My next planned break is from March 13 -- March 19, 2026.

I take reading requests from whenever this post goes up on Friday night until 8pm US Central Time Saturday.

For a more in depth look into how I read and interpret the Ogham's symbols, please visit my website druidogham.wordpress.com.

Thank you for your generous donations. They often buy cat food and litter, groceries, and take out burritos and sandwiches for my Mom and me. If you would like to donate, please do it here:

http://buymeacoffee.com/kimberlysteele

Your prayers of blessing to the deity/deities of your choice are welcome whether or not you can donate.

In the run up to the French Revolution, Marie Antoinette was accused of diddling her own son, the Dauphin and the heir to the French throne. Even the most basic of searches reveals Marie Antoinette never said “Let them eat cake”, yet the phrase has been welded to her identity since at least 1787. She did not have to utter the infamous quip because she lived it. She had a mini-farm built called the Petit Trianon and massive gambling and fashion habits. Meanwhile, to be a regular person in 18th century France was to be “virtually without worldly goods” reports Owen Hulton in The Poor of 18th Century France, 1750-1789. Often, “a bed, a cupboard, a few cooking pots, bed-clothes, shirts and shifts progressively patched and worn constituted the entire assets of a working family.” Marie’s huge menagerie of domestic animals, including the ones on her show farm, included an array of tiny dogs that crapped and pissed wherever they wanted in the Versailles palace, chewing holes in embroidered damask that cost more than a laundress would make in her entire life. The 18th century equivalent of tabloids (called the libelles, compare the word to libel in English) accused Marie of molesting her own son. At her trial, Marie refused to dignify the accusations with a response, stating “if I did not respond, it was because it would be against Nature for a mother to reply against such an accusation.” Her son the Dauphin was isolated, groomed, and tortured into accusing his mother of incest by Jacques Peré Hébert, who once skipped town at the age of 23 when he was rightfully convicted of slander and was fired from his theater job at the time for stealing. His contemporary, the French historian Ferdinand Brunot, called Hébert “the Homer of filth” for his talent for appealing to the lowest common denominator with his rumor-monging and false accusations. Hébert became quite the demagogue in his day, launching a movement of Hébertists whose goal was to de-Christianize France and to force priests to marry. Hébertists organized the first Festival of Reason, renaming the Notre Dame the Temple of Reason. For Hébertists, unlike their modern couch potato keyboard warrior equivalents, often launched physical attacks on those they felt were “too moderate” such as the Girondins. Even Maximilien Robespierre was considered too moderate by the Hébertists in 1793.

The Reign of Terror saw about 17,000 elites separated from their lives. Though I am sure it felt good to see the formerly be-wigged marching to their dooms after being scooped up in wooden carts, the revenge of the common man does not seem to have done much to stop subsequent Marie Antoinette wannabes from going about their rich and clueless lives.

It’s Hollywood, baby

Jews were expelled from Russia during its Revolution after throwing in their lot with Bolsheviks and other revolutionaries. The Jews who escaped to America founded Hollywood. In the 1800s, newly arrived Jews joined their brethren in the garment trade and vaudeville live theater. Both of these industries were largely overlooked and dismissed by wealthy whites. Live theaters were gradually overtaken by cinemas, and since Jews dominated the theater trade, the transition to film was natural and smooth. Many Jews in the garment industry founded the major entertainment houses: clothing salesman Carl Laemmle founded Universal Pictures; furrier Adolf Zucker founded Paramount Pictures; glove seller Samuel Goldwyn began his own moving picture studio.

Nobody could accuse the founding Jews of Hollywood of laziness. They worked hard, they became entrepreneurs, collaborated, sacrificed, and clawed their way up to do it. We can witness the hardy Louis Mayer, a poor kid who was born in the Ukraine and quit school at the age of 12. By the time he was a young adult, he renovated a vaudeville theater in Massachusetts before moving to Hollywood and founding MGM Studios. One of his producers, fellow Jew Arthur Freed, was famously accused of sexual harassment on several occasions, including by 12 year old Shirley Temple. Freed pulled out his penis and began to fondle himself in front of Temple on her first day on set. Temple claims to have laughed it off before running away in her autobiography. Sure.

Hollywood was a great success, and it has always been disproportionately Jewish. What the persecutors of the Bolsheviks and other revolutionary Jews failed to realize is that Jews thrive on persecution and they hope to be punished. Like Christians and Muslims, the fastest route to heaven for a monotheist with one life is to die for his religion. Nobility and the erasure of the most hideous of sins is conferred via martyrdom. Look at the grisly fetish that Jews have made of their own holocaust, seeking to relive the “experience” of progroms, ghettoes, and gas chambers in their various holocaust museums. I argue that wanting to relive a holocaust (I refuse to capitalize the word as holocausts happen every damn day) is barking, drooling madness, and that is why we don’t see modern Cambodians LARPing the Killing Fields or Rwandans basking in the glory of the Tutsi slaughterhouse of 1994.

You could round up all the Jews better than Hitler and you would still fail to eradicate the hidden forces that make them into a menace. For instance, if every Jew was suddenly and permanently raptured, do you think pedophilia would screech to a halt and no child would ever have to worry about being sodomized, tortured, or sold to ravening human ghouls for money ever again? LOL if you think that; clearly you do not know much of the world and will be forced to learn the hard way.

Chemtrails

This morning, the beautiful blue sky was marred by a giant X where two planes had deposited a cloudy, aerosolized mixture of poisons called chemtrails or contrails. About 30 minutes later, the entire sky became overcast. Speculation abounds concerning chemtrails, which were simply not a thing when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s. One hypothesis has it that they are doing weather modifications — Marjorie Taylor Greene believes that Hurricane Milton was in part caused by elite creeps playing God via chemtrails. I don’t think she is wrong. Chemtrails also seem to contain an array of biological poisons and nanobots designed to hijack healthy creatures via the air they breathe and the water they drink and make them sick. Remember that a healthy populace is not as easy to enslave and dominate as a perpetually ill one.

I would be lying if I claimed I do not have fantasies about shooting a surface-to-air missile at a chemtrail plane. I would smile as I watched it plummet to the ground, knowing its pilot was screaming his last words into the com. I hate chemtrails and I vicariously hate their pilots, which are the kind of just-smart-enough goons who fail to connect poisoning the Earth with poisoning their own children. There are campaigns to encourage regular people like myself to go to chemtrail airplane hangars to try to talk sense into the pilots. The idea that a chemtrail pilot bro who just follows orders would immediately abandon his well-paying job because some woman shows up at his work asking him to stop is hilarious and tragic. We all know the only thing that stops these people is a special sort of vest and a one way trip to Paradise for everyone in the vicinity. We also know that the second we complete our final boss in this game, there will be 10,000 missions of a nearly-identical variety that only others may complete because we will be dead.

Oh, the futility!

Epstein had his hands in an impressive amount of torture and blackmail. The one nice thing that can be said of the guy (he is probably still alive) is that he is a good multitasker. The big outrage is now that nothing is being done to the pedos. Prince Andrew was dethroned but he obviously is still alive. There are some disgraced diplomats who were obligated to resign/apologize. Trump is still alive and President of the United States at the time of this writing. Except for Ghislaine Maxwell, nobody is being held accountable for Epstein’s crimes, and it is highly doubtful that Maxwell is suffering as much as the average prisoner. Epstein and his pals seem to have done horrible things to infants and children, including literally eating nursing infants whose raw intestines apparently taste like cream cheese because they are full of fermented mother’s milk. Mark Tramo, a UCLA professor of biology and physiology, was caught in a convo with Epstein commenting that infants suck harder when they hear the sound of their mother's voice. He has since been “cancelled” and his web page on the UCLA website has been removed. In other words, he was lashed with a wet noodle and told to sit in a corner for ten minutes.

If we hauled every Epstein associate into a quick tribunal and then dispatched them to public hanging squares or Pay-Per-View torture chambers where they could be creatively assaulted by their own victims’ families, the spectacle would be extremely satisfying. There is no doubt that Epstein’s team of baby-eaters richly deserve to have their own skin flayed off in strips. We should then salt them, roll them in tar, and drop them in the middle of a desert with just enough water to make things truly miserable. While we were at it, we could gather up the chemtrail pilots and more importantly, their masters, and boil them in hot oil, immersing them slowly, taking them out, and then dipping them back in again a little further each time. We would, of course, surgically remove their larynxes first so they could not scream. We would feed these crispy, deep fried critters to imprisoned private equity, health care, and insurance CEOs. For laughs, we would remove the tongues of these CEOs first so they could not taste what they were eating. They could suffer the kuru without enjoying the behavior that results in kuru. We would then feed the CEOs to hungry pigs and alligators, or maybe sharks depending on what was available. We would do this while they were alive. Or maybe we could just leave them in the bottom of a pit until they starved and went fully insane, their driving Wendigos of unearned wealth having become impotent. Basically, we would make death the best outcome for these people. They would beg for it and we would not give it to them.

We could slay them all and there would be more of them within a generation at most. Humans are not all that smart and many of us start out in life extremely depraved. Not all monsters are made; some are born.

“So what do you propose we do, Kimberly Steele?” I will talk about that in next week’s essay.

Magic Monday

It's midnight and so it's time to launch a new Magic Monday. Ask me anything about occultism, and with certain exceptions noted below, any question received by midnight Monday Eastern time will get an answer. Please note:  Any question or comment received after that point will not get an answer, and in fact will not be put through.  If you're in a hurry, or suspect you may be the 341,928th person to ask a question, please check out the very rough version 1.3 of The Magic Monday FAQ here

Also:
 I will not be putting through or answering any more questions about practicing magic around children. I've answered those in simple declarative sentences in the FAQ. If you read the FAQ and don't think your question has been answered, read it again. If that doesn't help, consider remedial reading classes; yes, it really is as simple and straightforward as the FAQ says.  And further:  I've decided that questions about getting goodies from spirits are also permanently off topic here. The point of occultism is to develop your own capacities, not to try to bully or wheedle other beings into doing things for you. I've discussed this in a post on my blog.

(The image? I've finished the sequence of my published books; while I decide what I want to do next, I have some memes to share.)

Buy Me A Coffee

Ko-Fi

I've had several people ask about tipping me for answers here, and though I certainly don't require that I won't turn it down. You can use either of the links above to access my online tip jar; Buymeacoffee is good for small tips, Ko-Fi is better for larger ones. (I used to use PayPal but they developed an allergy to free speech, so I've developed an allergy to them.) If you're interested in political and economic astrology, or simply prefer to use a subscription service to support your favorite authors, you can find my Patreon page here and my SubscribeStar page here
 
Bookshop logoI've also had quite a few people over the years ask me where they should buy my books, and here's the answer. Bookshop.org is an alternative online bookstore that supports local bookstores and authors, which a certain gargantuan corporation doesn't, and I have a shop there, which you can check out here. Please consider patronizing it if you'd like to purchase any of my books online.

And don't forget to look up your Pangalactic New Age Soul Signature at CosmicOom.com.

With that said, have at it!

***This Magic Monday is now closed, and no more comments will be put through. See you next week!***

New Book: The Cunning Farmer

Cunning FarmerSome time ago I was asked by a regular reader to write a foreword for a book he'd just written. That happens from time to time, as many readers here know well, and it's something I like doing -- giving a signal boost to new authors, and not incidentally getting a little extra name exposure for myself, has always struck me as a win-win situation. So I asked to see the manuscript. 

It's an astonishing work. Todd Elliot, the author, is a working farmer as well as an occultist, and he's spent years exploring the considerable overlap between those two fields. Many of us are all too used to books on "green magic" from people who couldn't reliably tell wheat from watercress and whose grasp of occult history is about as deep as what you'd find on your average TikTok video; Todd's work, The Cunning Farmer, comes from the opposite end of that spectrum. Here's the publisher's blurb: 

"A guide to restoring the ancient relationship between farming and magic
 
• Explores how to reconnect with nature and use practical, nature-based magic for gardening and farming, fertility, and abundance
 
• Examines Moon work, plant magic, forest deities, Earth energies, weather magic, the cosmology of ritual, and how to work with land spirits
 
• Discusses folk magic traditions of North America and Western Europe, including the grimoire tradition, Western esotericism, alchemy, Kabbalah, and shamanism as well as Taoist principles and Reiki
 
Magic and farming, in the minds of ancient people, were not separate realms of life, but both were woven inextricably into the way people lived. Through libations, prayers, hymns, dances, sacrifices, and rituals, ancient farmers connected to the sacred forces, the gods, nature spirits, and ancestors to make the crops grow, keep the herds healthy, the weather favorable, and release energies of fertility. These rural farmer priests and priestesses of the ancient past are the spiritual ancestors of today’s cunning farmers.
 
This book explores folk magic traditions of North America and Western Europe, including the grimoire tradition and the practices of witches and cunning folk for increased fertility. Todd draws on Western esotericism, Taoist principles, alchemy, Kabbalah, Reiki, and shamanism to show how to use practical, nature-based magic, just like our ancestors, for more abundant gardening and farming. He shows how to work with land spirits, including meeting the place spirit of your land—the genius loci. He also explores working with Earth and Moon energies, plant magic and forest deities, and ritual. Learn how to deepen your connection to elemental and celestial forces and explore the idea of rewilding the imagination to enhance your relationship with nature and the spirits that call it home.
 
This book is not just a guide to farming, but to forging a relationship with the living land. It shows that we are surrounded by spiritual powers and, with their help, we can re-enchant and reconnect with the land that gives us life."

I heartily recommend this book for anyone interested in these topics. It's just now in print and can be picked up from the publisher here:

Ogham Readings on Saturdays

I am happy to read your Ogham free of charge -- that's how I hone my divination skills. Please limit your reading request to four or fewer Ogham cards: though this can take many forms, here are some common ones (all of them are basically combos of 4 cards):

 
-a single three card reading for the week or month and a one-off, one card reading
-four questions about four separate items that require one answer (card) per item
-a one card reading to answer a specific question and a three card for a more nuanced question
-Two separate readings, two cards a piece exploring the positives and negatives of two different choices

I am happy to do Ogham readings confidentially via emails -- just email me at k steele studio at gmail during the allotted time/before deadline. I cannot answer health questions. If you have a question about health or another sensitive, private matter, provide a bunch of non-identifying information and the Ogham will be able to figure it out even if I don't. I'm serious... the Ogham actually tend to "know" things without me being privy to what is going on.

Please note I take time off during Solstices and Equinoxes for Druid stuff and because sometimes I simply need a break.

My next planned break is from March 13 -- March 19, 2026.

I take reading requests from whenever this post goes up on Friday night until 8pm US Central Time Saturday.

For a more in depth look into how I read and interpret the Ogham's symbols, please visit my website druidogham.wordpress.com.

Thank you for your generous donations. They often buy cat food and litter, groceries, and take out burritos and sandwiches for my Mom and me. If you would like to donate, please do it here:

Your prayers of blessing to the deity/deities of your choice are welcome whether or not you can donate.

Frugal First Friday

winter gardeningWelcome to Frugal First Friday! This is a monthly forum post to encourage people to share tips on saving money, especially but not only by doing stuff yourself. A new post will be going up on the first Friday of each month, and will remain active until the next one goes up. Contributions will be moderated, of course. 

There has been talk about releasing these posts in print format.  In case that turns out to be worth pursuing, please note: if you comment on this or any future Frugal First Friday post, you are giving permission for that comment to be included in print or other editions. This means, for those of you into the legalese, that by posting something in the comment thread you are granting me non-exclusive reprint rights to your comment, and permitting me to transfer those to a publisher or other venue. Your contribution will have your name or internet handle attached, your choice. 

I also have some simple rules to offer, which may change further as we proceed. One change from the earlier frame is that if you produce goods or services yourself, and would like to let readers know about them, you may post one (1) (yes, just one) comment per month letting people know, with a link to your website or other contact info. The other rules ought to be familiar by now. 


Rule #1:  this is a place for polite, friendly conversations about how to save money in difficult times. It's not a place to post news, views, rants, or emotional outbursts about the reasons why the times are difficult and saving money is necessary. Nor is it a place to use a money saving tip to smuggle in news, views, etc.  I have a delete button and I'm not afraid to use it.

Rule #2:  please give your tip a heading that explains briefly what it's about.  Homemade Chicken Soup, Garden Containers, Cheap Attic Insulation, and Vinegar Cleans Windows are good examples of headings. That way people can find the things that are relevant for them. If you don't put a heading on your tip it will be deleted.

Rule #3: don't post anything that would amount to advocating criminal activity. Any such suggestions will not be put through.

Rule #4: don't post LLM ("AI") generated content, and don't bring up the subject unless you're running a homemade LLM program on your own homebuilt, steam-powered server farm. 

With that said, have at it!

SaturnAs promised, I've completed my tentative delineation of the upcoming Saturn-Neptune conjunction and posted it as a public post on my SubscribeStar and Patreon venues.  You can read them here: 

https://www.subscribestar.com/john-michael-greer

https://www.patreon.com/posts/hinge-of-ages-20-150048624

(It's the same text on both venues, btw.) All in all, I found the delineation rather surprising, because it has noticeably positive features. Most of my mundane predictions have been less than sunny; to be fair, that's what the heavens have had to pass on, but it's become a source of amusement to me to watch myself becoming a purveyor of bad news from the stars. This time -- well, there will certainly be disruptions and troubles, but the whole chart points forward to Jupiter in his exaltation, which is kind of a difficult hint to miss! 

NeptumeAt any rate, since Saturn-Neptune conjunctions in the beginning of Aries happen only once every several millennia and the sample size is therefore rather low, this is a tentative prediction at best. Make of it what you will. 

Oh, and yes, I know that there's also an eclipse coming up. I plan on posting that for my subscribers as soon as I get it delineated.
