  7. I’ve been receiving DMs from Satanists asking me to include them in my Left-Hand Path astrology posts… Say no more. 😈

    It’s a good time for that, since the Moon is transiting Jyeshtha Nakshatra, associated with Antares - the Heart of the Scorpion. ♏

    An oldie but a goodie: "The Satanic Bible" by Anton LaVey. 😏

    Know Your Enemy: Aquarius Full Moon 2026 (Readings for All Zodiac Signs)

    July 30th 2026 – Reina LeFay

    It was the f**k around of times, it was the find out of times. If new moons are made to f**k around, full moons are the times we find out what happens when we mess with the wrong person, the wrong situation, or the wrong spell. Like in the movie Hereditary, where a séance tricking the mother into believing she is communicating with a passed on loved one leads to the release of a demon, or in Talk to Me, where what seems like a fun game about letting spirits possess your body, leads to something far more sinister; This full moon in Aquarius is where we find out that actions not only have consequences, they can change your life forever.

    Because this isn’t just any ol’ full moon in Aquarius, it’s conjunct Pluto, as in Hades, the god of the Underworld. Trips to the Underworld can either [read here].

    Special: Full Moon and The Mars-Uranus Conjunction

    Happy Cancer Full Moon! And happy 250th Anniversary to the United States of America! It is a perfect time to harvest for the highest potency!  My medicinal wilds are ready, and I have a ripe tomato on the vine!  Bless your health.  Happy Independence!  :*

    The Moon is conjunct Ixion in Capricorn. In mythology, Ixion was punished for his desirous nature. He raped the thought form (Nephele) of Hera, Queen of Heaven, who gave birth to the unruly Centaurs. In Capricorn, with the head of the Ram usually taking the lead, Capricorn Ixion turns tail to swim away from danger. Coming into conjunction with Centaur Pholus, the moon takes on an unusual character, not much like the usual sensitive, law-abiding ways of Cancer-Capricorn. Perhaps using the law to one’s advantage.

    My rendition of Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man and the torture wheel was inspired by Ixion’s lustuous desire. Ixion was caught and bound to a fiery wheel for all eternity.

    Vesta and Pallas hold hands, connecting to their sisters, the rich, loving Venus and the Black Moon Lilith. For Saint Louis, Missouri (and other neighboring locations), the Cancer Full Moon is square the Midheaven. When life is hard, you have to change. Coming upon the exact Uranus conjunction, Mars first meets Sedna. Her father tossed his own daughters overboard to save himself. Out of the sea, her blessings rise.

    The beginning of the Mercury Retrograde in Cancer: Mercury is stationed on top of Hygiea! Welcome, preventative health talk! But also tension with Eris! The sister of Mars has decommissioning strength! Jupiter strikes Chiron in a low blow. All this is happening while Mars enters Gemini and “bends” the nodes. Aggression and anger are a fuel for action. In Gemini, take a breath, it will be actions in ideas, words, and written articles. Perhaps a new amendment that puts the people back into power; People over Corporations! With the emphasis on the waning, perhaps the overturning of Citizens United as a start. See: The Citizens Over Corporations Amendment

    Jupiter, king of heaven, is at the exact 30th degree of Cancer: A DAUGHTER OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

    Celebrate the Moon and Sun in the sign of the Moon! It is time to release the old as the moon wanes. I hope to pull all the hemlock out of my garden.  As Mercury reverses, we will revisit the past. I plan to work on Babes in Starland, an anthology; Universal Laws cover art, a book in the works by Bill Duvendack; and perhaps read and review Equilibrium by Rosario Aurelius.

    With Chiron in Taurus, I will continue to celebrate the body and practice my bodywork. Currently doing yoga at Anandamaya Sound + Movement with Ravi (a Taurus), I love the space! I am planning a course, along with my class on astrology for beginners, the Path of Awakening (the journey to Kundalini Rising from beginning through the aftermath). Email me if you are interested in learning.

    Speaking of the past, here are some posts I wrote. They still have weight. Often, the happenings occur before the exact conjunctions. Watch as the Mars-Uranus conjunction unfolds. There is still a powerful Jupiter-Chiron square, a Jupiter-Pluto opposition, and so much more!

    Lots of love,

    Rachel McCabe

    From June 24-25, 2026: A powerfully active time! The Scorpio Moon first opposed Chiron in its recent entry into Taurus. Squares Pluto. Opposes Ceres in Taurus. Squares Venus in Leo. Then the Scorpio moon opposes Mars (soon to be conjunct Uranus). Trine Mercury (slowing to station) and trine Jupiter at the anaretic degree between Cancer and Leo! That was only the moon making aspects to everything!

    And the upcoming Mars-Uranus conjunction in Gemini. Uranus is full of surprises, and Mars is the god of war, but also passion and drive! Gemini gives it an extra touch of community and Mercurialness! And it’s interesting that our president is a Gemini, so this may be explosive communications, especially during a Mercury retrograde on Independence Day. It is our 250th anniversary!!! Could be aliens ;D Could be Epstein? Maybe a powerful and unexpected speech.

    The first is last and the last is first, since yesterday. I made lemon poppyseed blueberry muffins using the ingredients I need to use and some new ingredient (Organic Einkorn Berries). The moon is in Sagittarius now. They did not rise as well as they will in an air sign. 😉

    Two Earthquakes hit Venezuela.

    On June 25, also, an acquaintance got hit by a truck! She’s okay! An elderly woman in a large truck was not looking where she was going and hit a pedestrian. Luckily, no broken bones.

    Monsanto vs Durnell

    Outtakes:

    The current Jupiter is trine the Aries point and will be in opposition to Pluto. In the chart for the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), founded on October 11, 1890, Jupiter is in early Aquarius and opposed Chiron in Leo.

  16. Blooming into Balance: Celebrating Ostara 2025

    The air is changing. A gentle warmth replaces the winter’s chill, and the world awakens with a vibrant burst of life. Ostara, the Spring Equinox, is upon us! This Pagan Sabbat marks the moment when day and night are of equal length, a perfect balance before the sun’s power begins to dominate. In 2025, we’ll be celebrating Ostara on Thursday, March 20th.

    Ostara is a time of renewal, rebirth, and growth. It’s a celebration of the Goddess Ostara (or Eostre), associated with dawn, spring, and fertility, and a welcoming of the returning sun.

    ______________________________

    Ostara whispers of fresh starts and the quiet strength of budding life. It’s a time to turn inward, to examine the seeds of your own dreams, and gently coax them into bloom. Whether you find solace in solitary reflection or joy in shared celebration, take this moment to truly connect with the earth’s awakening. Listen to the birdsong, feel the sun’s gentle warmth, and let the promise of spring fill your heart. Plant your intentions with care, nurture them with kindness, and watch as your own unique potential unfolds. May your Ostara be filled with personal growth, renewed hope, and the blossoming of your truest self. Happy Ostara!

    🌈 Ostara Ritual for Renewal

    The Seed of Potential: An Ostara Ritual for Renewal

    Choose a space where you feel connected to nature, whether it’s outdoors or a designated sacred space indoors.

    Welcome, fellow seekers, to the vibrant dawn of Ostara. As the Earth awakens from its winter slumber, we too are called to embrace renewal and growth. This ritual is designed to honor the Spring Equinox, the moment of perfect balance, and to plant the seeds of our own potential.

    __________________________

    Preparation

    🌈 Timing:

    Perform this ritual on the Spring Equinox, ideally at dawn or during the day when the sun is high.

     🌈 Location:

    Choose a space where you feel connected to nature, whether it’s outdoors or a designated sacred space indoors

     🌈 Altar:

    Set up your Ostara altar with the correspondences mentioned in the previous blog. Include a small pot of soil, seeds (representing your intentions), and a bowl of fresh spring water.

     🌈 Tools:

    You will need candles (pastel colors), incense (floral or fresh scents), and a representation of the Goddess Ostara (or your chosen spring deity).

    ____________________________

    ⭐ The Ritual ⭐

     🌈 Casting the Circle:

    If you typically cast a circle, do so now, invoking the elements and guardians.

     🌈 Invocation:

    Light your candles and incense. Stand before your altar and say:

       “Ostara, Goddess of Dawn and Spring, we welcome your light. The Earth awakens, and so do we. We gather here, at the point of perfect balance, to honor the return of life and the blooming of potential.”

     🌈 Honoring the Equinox:

    Take a moment to feel the balance of light and dark. Close your eyes and visualize the sun rising, bringing warmth and vitality to the Earth. Say:

       “Day and night are equal, a moment of perfect harmony. We honor the balance within and without, the dance of light and shadow, and the promise of growth.”

     🌈 Planting the Seeds of Intention:

    Take the pot of soil and the seeds. As you hold the seeds, visualize your intentions for the coming season. What do you wish to cultivate in your life? Speak your intentions aloud, infusing the seeds with your energy.

       “These seeds represent the potential within me. I plant them with intention, nurturing my dreams and aspirations. May they grow strong and vibrant, bringing forth the fruits of my labor.”

       Plant the seeds in the soil.

     🌈 Blessing the Seeds and Water:

    Hold the bowl of spring water over the planted seeds. Say:

       “Water of life, nourish these seeds of intention. May they be blessed with growth, vitality, and abundance.”

       Sprinkle the water over the soil.

     🌈 Meditation and Visualization:

    Sit or stand comfortably. Close your eyes and visualize your intentions taking root and flourishing. See them growing into vibrant manifestations of your desires. Feel the warmth of the sun and the gentle breeze of spring.

     🌈 Offering to Ostara:

    Offer a small gift to Ostara, such as flowers, a decorated egg, or a poem. Say:

       “Ostara, we thank you for the gifts of spring. We offer our gratitude and respect, and we celebrate the renewal of life.”

     🌈 Grounding:

    Take a few deep breaths, grounding yourself in the present moment. Feel the connection to the Earth and the energy of spring.

     🌈 Releasing the Circle:

     If you cast a circle, release it now, thanking the elements and guardians.

     🌈 Closing:

    Extinguish the candles and incense. Place the pot of seeds in a sunny location and water them regularly, nurturing your intentions as they grow.

    🌈 Reflection:

    After the ritual, take some time to journal about your experience. Reflect on your intentions and how you plan to nurture them throughout the spring and summer. This ritual is a powerful way to connect with the energies of Ostara and to embrace the potential for growth within yourself. May your spring be filled with joy, abundance, and renewal.

    Blessed Be!

    ..."With the North Node in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo - our physical health will be very dependent on our emotional and mental health. We are going to want to trust in something bigger than ourselves, get our head out of the details (which will be endless with all this Virgo) and drop fears around not doing things because they have to be JUST SO. Have faith. Develop your intuition and imaginatio "...

    ..."Juno retrograded through Virgo - 6 to 21 degrees - from January until April. We were going back over the details of our relationship agreements, seeing what could be fixed. What did we fix?

    With Juno exact on Ukraine's ascendant we could say that Ukraine IS Juno.

    (everything that is happening in our world/the chaos has much to do with the rising Goddess energy as we enter the Age of Aquarius - we talked about the #Ukraine/Russia war"...

  22. I think of psychic and magical energy as a gas due to its intangible and diffuse nature. Just as a gas can fill a space and spread out evenly, psychic energy can permeate and interact with the environment similarly, so linking psychic energy to how a scent diffuses through a room is useful. So, one way that I permeate a space with magical energy is through enchanted candles that I make.

    The problem with burning the candles is, well, they burn. They get used over time. Considering it takes a lot of effort to enchant my magic candles, it gets annoying. Well, my husband surprised me yesterday with a candle warmer! I don’t post my magic gear on the Internet, so this is just a picture with a regular, mundane scented candle.

    Since I don’t have to actually burn the candles, my magic candles last a lot longer. When I do quick and dirty magic on the go, I use breathing techniques to pull the energy into me, transmute it, and breathe it out. I call it a dragon’s fire breath technique. Using candles is a more latent version of that.

    When I think of the phase state of psychic and magical energy, I liken it to a liquid or a gas. Some people refer to it as astral energy. I prefer not to use the term ‘astral’ when describing the phenomenological, noetic realm of subjective experiences, as it carries celestial connotations. ‘Astral’ connotes cosmic things, such as what is in space. I would use the word ‘astral’ if I were referring to the noetic space of outer space, particularly around the physical bodies of planets.

    When I am referring to psychic energy, I am normally referring to the field, ambiance, and psychic atmosphere here on Earth where many of the structures emerge from human consciousness and intelligence. For example, I live in Atlanta near an important genius loci and nexus, so the psychic energy that flows around here is as natural as the skylines, concrete, and streets of Atlanta. Instead of being like the celestial light from the sun, it is more like the light from satellites and buildings. Genius loci are not technically natural. They emerge as a consequence of human architecture. For example, a green space in a city isn’t natural; however, it exerts an influence on people and makes them feel more relaxed.

    Energy is not a thing; it is an abstraction. It is something we derive from reference frames and relationships and is not necessarily something that we observe. The energy in something is stored as potential by a field, i.e., a structured set of relationships and correlations within that structured set. A structured set is a collection of categories, variables, or dimensions where there are binary operators between those categories, dimensions, or sets. Energy is a scalar that describes the ability to produce a change or for a system to take action, and the potential energy of a system is held within the relationships defined by operators that connect the objects or entities. A simple way to think of energy is that it is a description of the behavior of something or how something causes something to behave. In certain esoteric contexts, energy and spirit can be interchanged, albeit I make a particular distinction later on in this post. So, in that sense, the spirit of the place, i.e., the genius loci, is how people interact with the space and how the space affects people such that their behavior is changed. So, the spirit of the place is manifest through how people interact with that space. The connotation is not originally naturalistic; instead, it is a reference to how temples and gothic architecture affect people. Gothic architecture was designed to evoke notions of the sublime, for example. The spirit of the place is manifest in how you feel when you walk into the cathedral.

    I reject the solipsistic and human-centered view many occultists have. Empirically observable instances of psychic phenomena manifest through the art of magic imply that causality is inverted. Instead of mental entities supervening on, being emergent from matter, and being epiphenomena, physical states are subsets of a psychic domain. That would mean that all physical objects are phase states of a psychic realm. And, being manifestations of that psychic realm means that physical objects have ‘what it seems like to be’ that thing. Many occultists operate in a very human-centric or solipsistic paradigm where they believe that only things they recognize as having subjective experiences have those experiences. Since causality is inverted, that means that every infinitesimal cell of physical space, including the energy, matter, and physical objects that emerge from it, has a higher-dimensional aspect of what it seems like to be that cell. Physical reality is able to maintain its coherence because all aspects of physical existence have a higher-dimensional noetic aspect that is able to perceive itself. The cosmos can see itself where humans are manifestations of that. Consensual reality is cosmologically maintained by the mutual reference frames of the interconnected experiences of atoms, rocks, and all the way up to suns. If I experience you and you experience me, it creates a correlation and a local frame of reference within a manifold. Human intelligence is not integral to reality on a cosmological level because everything has a subjective experience, albeit unintelligent entities do not have the will to deliberately cause change. You are not just perceiving the cosmos. The cosmos is perceiving you.

    A rock has a psychic form of experience; however, is a rock intelligent? I can draw psychic energy from a rock without encountering resistance; however, if I draw energy from a person without their consent, their will shall oppose me, much like how mass resists acceleration. That nuance is what separates panpsychism from animism. I do not believe that the rock has a “soul”; instead, it has a fractal, recursive, and chaotic higher-dimensional structure that gives it a qualia I.e., of what it seems like to be a rock; however, a rock cannot apprehend and understand its experience of being a rock. Self-similar structures that feed back into themselves are chaotic. However, it lacks the will to choose its next experience, nor does it possess the intelligence to apprehend its own existence. It’s like light, which can be emitted and absorbed. In this sense, it is sufficient to be called astral light. Metaphysically, the closet thing these objects have is called ousia, which roughly connotates a spirit.

    Culture is implicit in any piece of technology. It serves as an abstraction for how humans teach, learn, and employ particular pedagogies. Language is culturally learned, and not just a reflection of human intelligence. As language evolved, societies began to develop standardized terminologies and methodologies for toolmaking. Cultural adaptation and technological innovation are closely intertwined processes. As cultures evolve and encounter new challenges, they develop novel technologies to address these challenges, thereby creating further cultural change and adaptation. Conversely, technological innovations can disrupt existing cultural practices and social structures, often prompting cultural resistance, adaptation, or transformation.

    Implicit in any form of technology or anything that comes from human technology is human culture, intelligence, and will that is implicit in the design. Unlike something natural and spontaneous, like a rock, something like a knife was designed and manifested from a cultural form to cut. A way to think of the essence or ousia of an object is through its function. So, the essence of a knife is to cut. The essence of a gun is to shoot. This means that things that are a consequence of human intelligent design have aspects of human will that can resist you; however, it is an extension of the prototypical aspects created via human intelligence and will.

    Complex human tools are closely correlated with the emergence of languages to encode precision and standards. For example, mathematics and numbers allowed for the creation of more precise tools, also with the ability to communicate these standards through culture. This also applies to gods. Many big ancient gods arose and came into being when human civilization began; therefore, the intelligence of those entities is anthropic manifestations of human intelligence and will. Many pantheons of gods are extrinsicly connected to human societies and civilizations – if those civilizations did not exist, neither would those gods. Gods are shaped by human cultures and belief systems, and they derive their significance and characteristics from the needs, values, and experiences of the people who worship them.

    I’m using ‘existence’ in an abstract ontological sense. Existence is a categorical proposition. If I have a category called ‘beds’, then an instance of a bed would mean that the bed exists. If I have a category of ‘vaba81’ and ‘1gabaha’ is a subset of ‘vaba81’ such that ‘vaba81={1gabaha}’, then ‘1gabaha’ exists as an instance of ‘vaba81’. The problem lies in the epistemological justification. Can we empirically and objectively observe it? Frequently, objectivity gets conflated with empiricism. Objectivity means consistency. For example, 1+1=2. That is objective; however, it is not empirical, since mathematics is metaphysically a priori and epistemologically rational. How humans know 1+1=2 is something we do not know, in that we do not get this information from how we interact with the world. There is an epistemological and ontological debate about whether numbers are real and exist in a Neoplatonic sense or if they are a product of the human brain. Obviously, I assume that numbers exist in a Neoplatonic sense.

    Whether we can empirically observe something or not is not metaphysically important, especially within the context of Boolean Logic. When we consider the existence of circles, squares, and even real numbers, we treat these mathematical and geometric objects as if they are real; however, we have never empirically observed a circle or even a ‘1’. We have observed circular objects, and we have observed symbols for ‘1’. Gods occupy a similar metaphysical niche in the noetic sphere.

    I exist separate from a person’s representation of me in their mind; however, I exist in a noetic sphere as does that image in their mind in the same way a picture of me exists as do I, though I am not the picture. In this sense, I am referring to the image of gods. Personally, I am an atheist, so I do not believe they are real, so I assume people work with psychic systems and entities in the form of a god. The difference between these two is that 1+1 is always 2, while fictions, mythologies, civilizations, and religions change. Math (numbers and geometrical shapes) and logic have more of a tautological and objective nature than theistic fictions, albeit they both exist in the noetic sphere because one changes and is true in all cases deductively, and the other is not. We can say that theistic pantheons are fictions since they change over time per integrals of human experience and culture; however, Mathematics does not revise itself. It just accumulates.

    We infer existential import from whether or not we can observe real instances of a proposed category. Magic, Idealism, and Panpsychism are metaphysical cases against realism. Parapsychological experiments that demonstrate and support hypotheses that show intentions, expectations, and beliefs affect physically disconnected and non-local systems are empirical cases against realism. Metaphysical realism is predicated on the idea of a mind-independent universe; however, the ability for our intentions to influence the world and the ability for us to gain information about the world outside of physical events are counterexamples to that idea. If our intentions can affect the world around us, then it implies that reality is not entirely independent of our minds but rather intertwined with it. This challenges the notion of a purely objective reality existing independently of human consciousness. Whether or not gods are real isn’t relevant; instead, what is relevant is the categories they supervene on and whether they supervene on human intelligence.

    A rock is not extrinsic and emergent from human design, so there is no structure of human will that is intrinsic to it. Therefore, there is no will. If you tried to extract, evoke, or invoke the energy – the ousia, of an object to do something opposite its ousia, there will be resistance. The ousia, or essence, of a gun could be considered to be its ability to project force or cause harm through the expulsion of a projectile. The opposite of this essence embodies peace, non-violence, or something represented by a gesture like an open hand offering help or friendship. If you tried to evoke the spirit of a gun for a non-violent manifestation of peace instead of peace through violence, martial applications, there would be resistance and dissonance. The spirit of the gun itself is not resisting you; rather, an extension of human spirit is resisting you. Ousia is more abstract than spirit. Ousia is an abstract class that something belongs to, so the existence of a car, a gun, a knife, a building, so on and so forth is an instance of a prototypical abstraction, i.e., a blueprint. We can think of these categories as existing in a noetic sphere, so instances of my computer that I am typing this on have an ousia that is connected to a form in that noetic sphere. The thing that is analogous to a spirit or a soul – ousia, is a manifestation and an aspect given through human consciousness and intelligence. The ability for these objects to resist your will is a manifestation of collective human will, resisting you.

    The only natural things around me, at the moment, are the sky and the ground. Since I live in a metropolitan city, everything around me is manmade; therefore, implicit in everything is human will manifested through the infrastructure and technology around me. Since the city I live in is a manifestation of human intelligence and civilization down to the laws I must follow in this city, the energy I would draw from objects around me has a quality analogous to mass implicit in the will that creates it. Laws and politics in a democratic Republic, like the United States, are manifestations of the collective will of the people; therefore, it has mass. That means that the laws of a metropolis, like Atlanta, have mass and resistance to wills that run counter to that. That is in part why it is so hard to influence political events. You are trying to influence something that is massive. It’s easy to do in a small city because you have fewer people; however, it is very difficult to do with metropolises since the genius loci of the city is massive. In my experience, when a genius loci gets large enough, it exerts an attractive force that draws people with sympathy to it and manipulates possible futures to create a teleological point where a person being drawn there is inevitable and a matter of time, similar to how the singularity of a black hole behaves.

Since causality is inverted, that means that every infinitesimal cell of physical space, including the energy, matter, and physical objects that emerge from it, has a higher-dimensional aspect of what it seems like to be that cell. Physical reality is able to maintain its coherence because all aspects of physical existence have a higher-dimensional noetic aspect that is able to perceive itself. The cosmos can see itself where humans are manifestations of that. Consensual reality is cosmologically maintained by the mutual reference frames of the interconnected experiences of atoms, rocks, and all the way up to suns. If I experience you and you experience me, it creates a correlation and a local frame of reference within a manifold. Human intelligence is not integral to reality on a cosmological level because everything has a subjective experience, albeit unintelligent entities do not have the will to deliberately cause change. You are not just perceiving the cosmos. The cosmos is perceiving you.

    A rock has a psychic form of experience; however, is a rock intelligent? I can draw psychic energy from a rock without encountering resistance; however, if I draw energy from a person without their consent, their will shall oppose me, much like how mass resists acceleration. That nuance is what separates panpsychism from animism. I do not believe that the rock has a “soul”; instead, it has a fractal, recursive, and chaotic higher-dimensional structure that gives it a qualia I.e., of what it seems like to be a rock; however, a rock cannot apprehend and understand its experience of being a rock. Self-similar structures that feed back into themselves are chaotic. However, it lacks the will to choose its next experience, nor does it possess the intelligence to apprehend its own existence. It’s like light, which can be emitted and absorbed. In this sense, it is sufficient to be called astral light. Metaphysically, the closet thing these objects have is called ousia, which roughly connotates a spirit.

    Culture is implicit in any piece of technology. It serves as an abstraction for how humans teach, learn, and employ particular pedagogies. Language is culturally learned, and not just a reflection of human intelligence. As language evolved, societies began to develop standardized terminologies and methodologies for toolmaking. Cultural adaptation and technological innovation are closely intertwined processes. As cultures evolve and encounter new challenges, they develop novel technologies to address these challenges, thereby creating further cultural change and adaptation. Conversely, technological innovations can disrupt existing cultural practices and social structures, often prompting cultural resistance, adaptation, or transformation.

    Implicit in any form of technology or anything that comes from human technology is human culture, intelligence, and will that is implicit in the design. Unlike something natural and spontaneous, like a rock, something like a knife was designed and manifested from a cultural form to cut. A way to think of the essence or ousia of an object is through its function. So, the essence of a knife is to cut. The essence of a gun is to shoot. This means that things that are a consequence of human intelligent design have aspects of human will that can resist you; however, it is an extension of the prototypical aspects created via human intelligence and will.

    Complex human tools are closely correlated with the emergence of languages to encode precision and standards. For example, mathematics and numbers allowed for the creation of more precise tools, also with the ability to communicate these standards through culture. This also applies to gods. Many big ancient gods arose and came into being when human civilization began; therefore, the intelligence of those entities is anthropic manifestations of human intelligence and will. Many pantheons of gods are extrinsicly connected to human societies and civilizations – if those civilizations did not exist, neither would those gods. Gods are shaped by human cultures and belief systems, and they derive their significance and characteristics from the needs, values, and experiences of the people who worship them.

    I’m using ‘existence’ in an abstract ontological sense. Existence is a categorical proposition. If I have a category called ‘beds’, then an instance of a bed would mean that the bed exists. If I have a category of ‘vaba81’ and ‘1gabaha’ is a subset of ‘vaba81’ such that ‘vaba81={1gabaha}’, then ‘1gabaha’ exists as an instance of ‘vaba81’. The problem lies in the epistemological justification. Can we empirically and objectively observe it? Frequently, objectivity gets conflated with empiricism. Objectivity means consistency. For example, 1+1=2. That is objective; however, it is not empirical, since mathematics is metaphysically a priori and epistemologically rational. How humans know 1+1=2 is something we do not know, in that we do not get this information from how we interact with the world. There is an epistemological and ontological debate about whether numbers are real and exist in a Neoplatonic sense or if they are a product of the human brain. Obviously, I assume that numbers exist in a Neoplatonic sense.

    Whether we can empirically observe something or not is not metaphysically important, especially within the context of Boolean Logic. When we consider the existence of circles, squares, and even real numbers, we treat these mathematical and geometric objects as if they are real; however, we have never empirically observed a circle or even a ‘1’. We have observed circular objects, and we have observed symbols for ‘1’. Gods occupy a similar metaphysical niche in the noetic sphere.

    I exist separate from a person’s representation of me in their mind; however, I exist in a noetic sphere as does that image in their mind in the same way a picture of me exists as do I, though I am not the picture. In this sense, I am referring to the image of gods. Personally, I am an atheist, so I do not believe they are real, so I assume people work with psychic systems and entities in the form of a god. The difference between these two is that 1+1 is always 2, while fictions, mythologies, civilizations, and religions change. Math (numbers and geometrical shapes) and logic have more of a tautological and objective nature than theistic fictions, albeit they both exist in the noetic sphere because one changes and is true in all cases deductively, and the other is not. We can say that theistic pantheons are fictions since they change over time per integrals of human experience and culture; however, Mathematics does not revise itself. It just accumulates.

    We infer existential import from whether or not we can observe real instances of a proposed category. Magic, Idealism, and Panpsychism are metaphysical cases against realism. Parapsychological experiments that demonstrate and support hypotheses that show intentions, expectations, and beliefs affect physically disconnected and non-local systems are empirical cases against realism. Metaphysical realism is predicated on the idea of a mind-independent universe; however, the ability for our intentions to influence the world and the ability for us to gain information about the world outside of physical events are counterexamples to that idea. If our intentions can affect the world around us, then it implies that reality is not entirely independent of our minds but rather intertwined with it. This challenges the notion of a purely objective reality existing independently of human consciousness. Whether or not gods are real isn’t relevant; instead, what is relevant is the categories they supervene on and whether they supervene on human intelligence.

    A rock is not extrinsic and emergent from human design, so there is no structure of human will that is intrinsic to it. Therefore, there is no will. If you tried to extract, evoke, or invoke the energy – the ousia, of an object to do something opposite its ousia, there will be resistance. The ousia, or essence, of a gun could be considered to be its ability to project force or cause harm through the expulsion of a projectile. The opposite of this essence embodies peace, non-violence, or something represented by a gesture like an open hand offering help or friendship. If you tried to evoke the spirit of a gun for a non-violent manifestation of peace instead of peace through violence, martial applications, there would be resistance and dissonance. The spirit of the gun itself is not resisting you; rather, an extension of human spirit is resisting you. Ousia is more abstract than spirit. Ousia is an abstract class that something belongs to, so the existence of a car, a gun, a knife, a building, so on and so forth is an instance of a prototypical abstraction, i.e., a blueprint. We can think of these categories as existing in a noetic sphere, so instances of my computer that I am typing this on have an ousia that is connected to a form in that noetic sphere. The thing that is analogous to a spirit or a soul – ousia, is a manifestation and an aspect given through human consciousness and intelligence. The ability for these objects to resist your will is a manifestation of collective human will, resisting you.

    The only natural things around me, at the moment, are the sky and the ground. Since I live in a metropolitan city, everything around me is manmade; therefore, implicit in everything is human will manifested through the infrastructure and technology around me. Since the city I live in is a manifestation of human intelligence and civilization down to the laws I must follow in this city, the energy I would draw from objects around me has a quality analogous to mass implicit in the will that creates it. Laws and politics in a democratic Republic, like the United States, are manifestations of the collective will of the people; therefore, it has mass. That means that the laws of a metropolis, like Atlanta, have mass and resistance to wills that run counter to that. That is in part why it is so hard to influence political events. You are trying to influence something that is massive. It’s easy to do in a small city because you have fewer people; however, it is very difficult to do with metropolises since the genius loci of the city is massive. In my experience, when a genius loci gets large enough, it exerts an attractive force that draws people with sympathy to it and manipulates possible futures to create a teleological point where a person being drawn there is inevitable and a matter of time, similar to how the singularity of a black hole behaves.

  28. CW: psychadelic drugs and astrology

    This is the natal chart of psychadelic drug advocate Terence McKenna. That huge Scorpio stellium is obvious in his fixation upon mind-transforming substances and the occult. Less obvious is the chart's rulership by his Mars in the 2nd house of Sagittarius. McKenna also became known for championing the "heroic dose", the idea not just that people should open their minds to the wonders of plant medicine, but that people should take very large and high doses of psilocybin mushrooms in order to achieve maximum therapeutic effect. Sagittarius is a Jupiter-ruled sign associated with expansion and ambition, constantly pushing boundaries and limits. He did eventually face criticism for his adamant dedication to the heroic dose even after he himself had stopped taking psychadelics at those levels; it's interesting to note that his south node is copresent with his Martian chart ruler and Mercury. The south node is considered the things that we overdo to our own detriment, or our karmic undoing.

    So based on his chart, we can see that McKenna had the constitution to handle large doses of psychadelics and did them regularly up until some period of turbulence near the last few years of his life. I wonder what the viability would be of reading charts and looking for clues about a person's constitution and their ability to handle shamanic excursions and psychadelic experiences. Notice also that all the water and fire in his chart is firmly grounded in his Virgo moon on the midheaven; that's a powerful position for an otherwise nervous and neurotic moon that seemed to keep his feet firmly planted while he was surfing through psychadelic hyperspace. One theory that I'm working on is that people with no good earth placements in their charts should steer clear of psychadelics, or at least avoid them without a medical practitioner or tripsitter present, lest they be more vulnerable to negative side-effects.
