The Astrology of Cults, UFOs, and Alien Abductions
Acyuta Bhava (Adam Elenbaas of Nightlight Astrology) has a brand new video out about the astrological significances shared with famous cults, UFO sightings, and even alien abductions that all made the headlines.

9. The Hermit
We’ve taken somewhat of a pause is our exploration of the Trumps, in hesitation about having enough to say about the Hermit. This card is too simple in its initiated meaning and does not warrant a full essay. In one magical formula of The Hermit Crowley states it as: Yod Phallus Spermatozoon Hand Logos Virgin. […]

6. The Lovers
The Lovers is interesting, because as a glyph it references the original vision/hoax responsible for almost all modern occult traditions. It is an artistic representation of The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkruetz, one of the three original Rosicrucian manifestos. See previous article on Rosicrucianism. It is one of the alchemical cards, but much more highly […]
5. The Hierophant
The mysteries of The Hierophant are a further elaboration of the alchemy described in the cards. The Holy Father or Pope bestows the secrets of the occult upon the Emperor and Empress leading them to their Great Work. There are many symbols in the card that reinforce this, but the primary symbolism in the Crowley […]
