Occursion Media has published its first newspaper. It is based here in Idaho Falls, and is the vision of my friend Terri Nelson Ireland, proprietor of the Healing Hands Metaphysical Store. It is called the Metaphysical Times: The Imbolc 2021 issue. In this venture, I am doing the layout and design, and will contribute an … Continue reading Our First Issue of the “Metaphysical Times” Has Hit the Streets
Many of us in the geek continuum have been excited to learn about a giant steel monolith being discovered in the Utah desert. It gives me chills, though only because I, as many others, believe Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" is the best movie ever made, and has encoded within it some highly important ideas … Continue reading HAL 9000, Kubrick & Clarke: Some Astrolodyssey in the cut?
by Ed Kohout This is a reprint of something I wrote 5 years ago, back when I could write whatever I wanted. I want to dedicate this to Samuel F. Reynolds, a fellow astrologer who is also born on the magical "11/22" date, and who has always impressed me with his professionalism in the craft. … Continue reading The Popes, the Jesuits, and … Astrology? (A reprint from 2015 about November 22)
If you have read Parts I and II, you are now ready to digest the most brazen part of the 9/11 fraud: Building 7. I find it interesting that, all these years later, most folks I talk to don't know about the collapse of Building 7 on 9/11. "There was a third building that collapsed, … Continue reading The Metonic Return of 9/11 – Part III
In Part I, I laid out some astrological and astro-numerological elements of the 9/11 event that I thought were both interesting and probably unknown to researchers. 9/11 was a crime, and as such, any good investigator would have to look at the means, motive, and opportunity of any possible suspects to determine who might be … Continue reading The Metonic Return of 9/11 – Part II
It's hard to believe that 19 years have elapsed since the that day Building 7 collapsed for no good reason. So, I thought I'd refresh our memories on the astrological and astro-numeric pseudo-coincidences of that day, mostly because this stuff is yet to be explained properly, but also for the reason that some new "surprise" … Continue reading The Metonic Return of 9/11 – Part 1
The general historical narrative of so-called "speculative" freemasonry that gets tossed about goes something like this: In 1717, four masonic lodges got together and formed a Grand Lodge on June 24, ushering in the era of speculative freemasonry. What is not reported by the more pedestrian historians about these Freemasons is that this kind of … Continue reading The Ancients Create a Grand Lodge of Their Own
I don't like to glom onto tragedies in order to make self-aggrandizing, armchair quarterback pontifications about what happened, but given that this blog had been exploring the role of the fixed star Aldebaran in Vatican history, there are some things to say. As with any event, one can call up a sky chart for the … Continue reading The Reluctant Christchurch Massacre Post
In the first four parts of "(some) Vatican Astrology," I laid out the astrological charts for four major milestones in the Vatican's promotion of the Society of Jesus, better known as the Jesuits. They are: Regimini militantis ecclesiae — First approval — Sep 27 1540: Jupiter = Regulus; Saturn = Spica. Exposcit debitum — Second … Continue reading A Brief Introduction to (some) Vatican Astrology – Part V
In the previous three installments of "...(some) Vatican Astrology," I put forth three possible astrological charts for the Vatican's approbations of the Society of Jesus, also called the Jesuits: The three chart moments take place from 1540 to 1584, at the height of the Italian Renaissance, and also the final years of the Italian Wars. … Continue reading A Brief Introduction to (some) Vatican Astrology – Part IV
