For the astrology I practice, I practice Sidereal Astrology. A “sidereal thelemic tarot” would essentially require reworking “Magick,” not a task I am going to take on directly. As a thought experiment, I do think it is interesting. https://www.solunars.com

93 In "Eight Lectures on Yoga" Uncle Al states: Music has no expressed intellectual content whatever, and the sole test of music is its power to exalt the soul. It is then evident that the composer is himself attempting to express in sensible form some such sublimities as are attained by those who practise Magick and Yoga as they should. [1] Throughout his works he highlights balance and avoiding un-Willed action as essential traits of a the devoted magician. For me, I approach music as I approach anything that has an effect upon me that I do not initially seem to have control over. I ask whether it furthers the specific goal I am trying to achieve. Does it enhance me or does it diminish me? Throughout the day while I work there is a constant stream of trance music playing. EDM in general locks me into a focused state that, without, I can not get through even an hour of work successfully. It is somewhat akin to meditation, but for a purpose. It enhances me during a time that I need it. However, during actual meditation, I personally am unable to reach a state of liberation from my body (unmanifest) such that real Work can be done with any material distractions, such as music or generated sound. Ultimately you are the one who must answer that question. As with any work of magic, it is answered through trial and error. Is the goal achieved via this system, or via the other? If you keep a magical record, this should be a part of your documentation, such as what you are trying to achieve, what happens when you listen to music and what type of music (or generated sound), and then document what happens when there is none. 93 93/93

Magick, done intentionally and slowly, will unearth the root causes of mental health challenges, train the nervous system to be a mechanism of expression, and reveal purpose. That being said, those ordeals are not easy and should not be minimized. Daily practice, personal accountability, and consistency build resilience over time. I also recommend a good trans-personal psychologist.

I have tried the soft tip “paintbrush” style, but find the chisel point easiest and most accurate.

@wanderer-exile said "Would this book aid me in interpreting my Sidereal Birth Chart? Thank you in advance." It's educative on the general principles of Sidereal astrology, but the book per se deals with astrology of the collective, not the individual, person-related Natal astrology. For inquiries into your natal chart, I suggest making an account at www.solunars.com/index.php and posting your data; there's a community of astrologers there who can provide interpretation pointers and help you navigate the website, for resources to study further.

@danica said "Jim, I see something new on the forum: a section named A.'. A.'. , it's a tab on the bottom, after the Public Discussion section, but I don't see any contents. " Incomplete and to be kept private when complete. Glad to know it's appearing just exactly as intended

Hey, thanks for asking. We've made it a little more than halfway though the 30 visions, and have really been enjoying them. In teens of effect, they seen to be getting more powerful as we progress.

@noctivagus said " "You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, libelous, hateful, threatening, sexually-orientated, or any other material" There is a lot of pornlinks and sorts in some messenges. I sometimes sit at work and reading this forum and sometimes I click on a message without looking to much on its heading. Then wham I get a big dick or cunt in my face and thank god no one hase been standing behind me. try to explain that to you're boss. It's not what it looks like " Like most forums, we get spammers here. I remove them as soon as I see them, and steps are taken to block their return (in addition to filtering that keeps many such links and images from ever reaching here in the first place). Nearly always these are in General Discussion. I regret they are here at all, and I recommend being more careful in reading the topic of a new thread (which usually gives an idea what you'll find inside) - especially when there are 0 responses and the poster's name is descriptive. And keep your finger on the Back key! For example, at the moment General Discussion has a new thread called "A little more sex action" with 0 replies by someone named PPActionGuys. I already know what I'll find when I click inside. (Going to remove that one now, and do my first purge pass of the day.)
