Everything wrong with the current European world is due to us abandoning our gods.

The only way out is back to the roots.

This summer feels like 2023. Mid- June was a reminder of Venus Rx in Leo summer, I kid you not. It felt so similar i was prompting AI with questions about the similarities. Themes from that period are being revisited and stories from that time are continuing, after a long detour.

Venus in late Leo, slowing down.
Mercury in Cancer.
Moon in Pisces.

That's a mirror of today, except
Venus isn't going retro this time.

When the Moon shifts into Aries
at 11am EST, the energy lifts!

You'll get a new optimistic look
at an old summertime sadness.

Iamblichus, 1500 years ago, explicitly telling us that yes it is possible to reconstruct damaged traditions:

"For all these reasons, then, let us call upon the gods as our leaders, entrust both ourselves and our discourse to them, and follow wherever they may lead. We should not be deterred by the fact that this school has long been neglected; that it has been hidden beneath estranged teachings and certain secret symbols; that it has been overshadowed by many false and spurious writings; and that it has been obstructed by many other difficulties of the same kind. The will of the gods is enough for us, and with it one can endure difficulties even more perplexing than these."

- Book 1 of On the Pythagorean Life; Literally the first thing he says in the book that he gave his students to read first of all.

I highly advise you to save this quote for future use when arguing with those guys who say "but your line of transmission is broken bro, just become a sufi bro"

In a way, it has never been so easy: this is the quiet gift of the Kali Yuga. All the idols have been toppled, all the objects of man's loftiest passions—religion, the state, culture, the arts— have been hollowed out. There is nothing left to be a worthy delusion.

[Astrologer @JyotirAstrology]

So just to reiterate 2 important mundane factors

1. Venus declination pivots coincide with mass social movements and gatherings. Mars strong during these times tends towards Mass protests/nationalistic uprisings.

2. Mercury crossing through the Sun is change of leadership

Ódin was known as Jólnir, the Yule One, a name that bound him to the winter solstice and the sacred season of Jól.

Yule marked the deepest darkness of the year, when the boundary between worlds was believed to weaken.

It was during this time that Ódin rode through the stormy sky leading the Wild Hunt.

He was not a gentle holiday figure but a god who wandered the world in disguise, watching humanity and deciding who was worthy of reward or doom.

People made offerings during Yule to appease Ódin, the ancestors, and the spirits of the land so that winter would not claim their lives or livestock.

The image of a bearded man who travels through the winter night, judges human behavior, and dispenses favor or punishment comes from this ancient Yule tradition.

His shadow still survives today in the figure of Santa Claus.

#FolkloreSunday

Today is the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, marking the shortest day and the longest night of the year.

According to Nordic folklore, this was a time of magic, mystery and danger, when the veil between the worlds grew thin and otherworldly beings were at their most powerful.

It was believed that supernatural creatures like tusser and trolls would come out of their otherworldly realms inside the mountains and underground in the woods, and wander around in the darkness.

Ghosts and spirits of all kinds were also thought to be at their most active, including Åsgårdsreia, the Norwegian version of The Wild Hunt.

The Goddess Athena was born from her father Zeus' head on the third day of the month, giving us the epithet Tritogenia.

Goddess of wisdom, war (strategy) and women's crafts, she was the divine breath into the creations of Prometheus.

Known by her symbols, the Aegis, Helmet and Owl, this Goddess is among the most powerful of the offspring of Zeus.

We honour this virgin Goddess this day in thank for her blessings on our lives.

Hello to Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions in the airy triplicity, goodbye to the conjunctions in the earthy triplicity.

We are living at the end of the epoch created by the French Revolution. No one can say what form the next epoch will take, but the age of mass democracy is over. The age of universal human rights is over. Neither will exist by the time children born today reach adulthood.

A traditional astrologer could use Bonatti's material to interpret the dream.

[James O'Keefe @JamesOKeefeIII]

True Story: I had a dark nightmare recently. The landline phone next to my bedside table rang, and it was some type of demon who said, “I’m in your basement.” I sprung up from the bed, unable to determine if that really happened or if I was dreaming. For a full 15 seconds, my hands ran alongside the blanket to try to see if this was reality or still that nightmare. I looked at the bedside, and there was no landline phone, and only then did I realize it was just a dream. Whatever that voice was, it was the most haunting tone of voice I’ve ever heard in my life.

This dream occurred early in the morning, September 10th, 330am.

My tolerance for Boomers has hit an all-time low. These people bled the country for all its worth, then proceed to tell people to live like serfs. Yes, you can survive under less than ideal conditions, but the younger generations deserve better.

Just live in an empty studio apartments and play on your flip phone, peasant.

Thanks for destroying the country.
