[Question] The significance of Stars

[Yeshai]

A rather strange question.


My first teacher, who introduced me into the world of the "occult", and who has since died, told me the following story.
He was an adept at spirit travel/astral projection. He said once he journeyed to the end of the universe, and saw a star, cast way off from all the other stars. A great dragon was holding the star. He talked to the dragon, which told him that this was his punishment for his disobedience. My teacher likened the dragon to Lucifer, and his fall from Heaven. My teacher greatly opposed Christianity and the Bible, but firmly believed that it had "an ounce of truth".

I'm looking for books, links, or anything with information about stars being equated with actual beings. If such information exists.
Would love to hear someone elses input.

Thanks

I think pretty much every form of Astral magic (in the Medieval sense meaning starry/planetary magic) and old pagan religion personifies the stars and planets as beings, gods, people, named things, to a great extent, don't they?

It's not so strange, Yeshai.

There is a thread in the learning resources folder, with lots of Astrological and Astronomical information, that you might enjoy looking into.

Fixed stars and Behenian stars are a feature of some magickal systems, as are other Astrological and Astronomical qualities and personifications or corresponding deities/ intelligences. There is a lot of information on these and more around the forum.

Here are a few sources you might enjoy, drawn from the resource thread:

First thing that came to my mind is:

Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning
https://www.amazon.com/Star-Names-Their ... X5XFHBR7J3

Second thing was.
He did this while astral projection. I think what he saw represented is own inner christianity and his inability to deal with it.

Oh. My. Lort!

Finally - what I have been looking for!

Uh~Yaeuh!

Thanks for the information yo. :3

I was rewatching some videos on YouTube about how we anthropomorphised the stars with elaborate myths.

And also talked about why almost all religions have a very very very similar story,
It's because it's all about the stars/heavens/planets - e.t.c.

I'm starting to think that we're somehow connected to them - and that's how most magick is probably accomplished.

So yeah - anyways - I was longing for this information and now here it is.

Sometimes I feel like y'all are hackers spying on my mind - but that is WAY improbable.

But still... It never ceases to blow my mind - how ever since I was just a kid,
I would have these amazing ideas - theories and predictions that was either way ahead of my time or... Just right about to come true down the line somewhere.

I always felt like I was being monitored or that I was somehow very empathetic - absorbing peoples best ideas. *which is also highly improbable.*,
Also - I noticed that whenever I wanted somethubg vital to my beliefs - it came t be through a meams usually indirect.

...

Thanks so much for this,
You don't know how much you've helped me.

Serendipity and synchronicity happens all the time when you start practicing magic. Or have a magical mind as a child.

Sweet! Thanks!

Next week I am going to order both of those books.

The typhonian and Setian traditions are very, very big on the use of stars. The big dipper, Draco, even pole stars in general were associated with Set in ancient times, with darkness in general as opposed to the sun. This is, indeed, the origin of such a dark lord. Levenda, Grant, Webb, Aquino, Flowers, all talk about such things. Most occult texts on Egypt will touch on these things as well.

Hehe. xD

Thanks Nahemah!

And @Desecrated - Very true! Wish I had a library of lore in my own house. It would be a dream come true.

Is there any craft that teaches how to use the stars in some way to alter current events?

Or - what kind of magick is possible with the stars?

Planetary magic.

All of it.
