Portae Lucis and astrology
-
quick question: is the method descrbed in "portae lucis" a valid one, as it is heavily reliant on astrology?
For example:
Second Method: Zodiacal Configurations
Following the same method of passive charging, the products can also be loaded during astrologically favorable times of the year. This method has the advantage that it charges more quickly, but the disadvantage that it takes an entire year to do it, and if a cycle is missed, so is the opportunity for charging for that year.
Saturn product are charged after the winter solstice, around January 10th.
Solar products are charged thirty minutes after sunrise, with the moon under the horizon, forty days before or after the Winter Solstice. Solar products should not be loaded during the above mentioned time frame as the Air and Fire Elements are weak.
Lunar products are charged when the moon is above the horizon and within three day before or after the day between the head and the tail of the dragon. The sun must be under the horizon however.
Times to Avoid
The period of two weeks prior to an following the Winter Solstice is to be avoided for all Alchemical, Qabalistic work, or the charging of these products. Thus, we stock energies via astrology or planetary genius’ when the energies are strong and easily available.
