Learn to work with grimoire spirits in a simple and easy way with mine and Venom's elucidation of JSK's "Goetic Pharmakos"!

While reading The Only Way to Learn Astrology and reflecting on our discussions around aspect geometry, I realized there is an esoteric layer to aspects that might be useful to share. Beyond the modern psychological meanings (trines = harmony, squares = tension, oppositions = conflict, etc.), the geometry itself carries symbolic and magical meaning. When approached through a Hermetic and initiatory lens, aspects become living geometries that describe how consciousness, matter, and spirit interact. Rather than reading aspects only as personality dynamics, we can also read them as alchemical pathways and magical technologies. ☆Geometry as Living Symbol •Conjunction (1 Point) Unity, Fusion & Incarnation -The conjunction represents the primordial point, unity before division, essence before form. Esoterically, this is the monadic state, where two planetary principles fuse into a single operational force. Rather than dialogue or tension, conjunctions describe complete interpenetration of energies. *In magical and alchemical work, conjunctions indicate: -Embodiment and incarnation of planetary forces. -Areas where consciousness is the energy, rather than interacting with it. -Potent points for invocation, consecration, and direct transmission. *Because the energies are merged, conjunctions often operate below conscious awareness, especially with personal planets. This makes them powerful loci for: -Planetary initiations -Devotional and theurgical practices -Talismanic empowerment -Magical identity formation In alchemy, conjunction corresponds to "Coniunctio" the sacred marriage, the fusion of complementary principles into a new, unified substance. This is the seed of transformation, from which all later differentiation unfolds. •Opposition (2 Points, 1 line) Polarity, Reflection, Alchemy -Oppositions represent duality and polarity: light and dark, inner and outer, conscious and unconscious. Esoterically, oppositions are prime configurations for alchemical work, because they force awareness of contradiction, tension, and reflection. They generate dynamic movement toward synthesis.

A clip from my new weekly "strange news" series! This one is on the Ark of the Covenant

I'm back!! My new PC came in and I decided to try something new with it. I want to start doing a weekly news reaction series where I read and react to news articles in the weird, fringe, paranormal, alt science, etc categories. I've wanted to do something like this for about 2 years but I could never find a reliable site that would update their weird or paranormal news regularly. They would have posts from today but then their last update was 4 months ago. Can barely do a monthly show with that let alone a weekly show. But I've finally found a website that aggregates weird and fringe news from around the web on nearly a daily basis. So here's the first attempt, let me know what you guys think. It's uploaded in full. YouTube will only get clips.
