Mother of Palms Occultism

The insect world has a correspondence to the spirit world. On lunar days the insects we fear seem more "human." We become conscious of humanness in other words. The two spheres swirling into one another are the two boundaries of self and external mending. We are in between this world and the heavens. We also see in contrast to the humanness alienation. The slow, curious, unpredictable movement, the probing antennae. These usually scare us but on lunar days, mixed with the sensation of humanness this alienness creates a feeling of "otherworldliness." This feeling is the feeling of Luna. And this feeling is the soul's ladder to the platform above: Angel.  So you focus on this sensation through theurgy* and "words will come from their eyes" in no time. Remember, I don't mean their actual eyes, I mean the "eyes" in the sky; stars. Those are how they speak to us across space. With glances and glimmers, radiations, that settle into us like swee...

I did a bio-layman experiment. Hah. I put out eggs on a plate in my backyard to see if a snake would take the bait. What I learned might not surprise you, but since I'm new to life I learned that patience is a virtue of the animal kingdom. Hah. Not one animal touched it up until day 2 1/2 and it was only two or three ants.  By day three they started eating soft, nasty, jelly like eggs. I hate being gross but I bring that part up because a virtue is a curse if it's done to excess. This brings me to Steiner.  In his lectures he references a French writer (De Musset) and Boehme as night and day. One is electrified by a slow, drudging world. The other is comforted by it and calls it patient.  Now I'm not sure what my point is here. I just want to say do your experiments. Find out what life is about.  My lens is astrological. If I see De Musset I see a racehorse. If I see Boehme I see me, because I am also a Taurus like he was. And to me in light of this, Ahriman, Lucifer...

  Pisces' role as spring-forerunner. The evolution of mind through the zodiac. 

   The Sun and the Moon are another "two-sides-of-a-coin" pair. In this photo is three drawings. In the bottom left is a symbol of the moon. Your moon under several hard aspects makes you feel unseen, out of touch/reach.  The picture above is the symbol of Leo. His challenge is self development. His tail is our connection to "Mother," or, as I like to call it, the Elohim/higher self. The Leo experience is similar to the moon under hard aspects. It feels unseen, so it creates fire out of smoke. It sees everyone as a source of attention. This attention seeking can turn into an urge. And this into annoyance. Leo has the memory of light, warmth and creativity. Its tail is just out of control. Until it learns to be humble through Aquarius, it'll be uncentered, needy, loud, incomplete.  In the upright corner is my crowning achievement. I discovered this symbol on my own tonight with a little help from my "friends." It's like the key to the door, if the d...
