The stars and planets can act as guides

 


Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice that involves connecting with the spirit world and working with spiritual guides and allies to gain insight, healing, and wisdom. Many shamanic traditions believe in the connection between the stars and planets and human consciousness, and that the movements of celestial bodies can have a profound impact on our lives.

In many shamanic traditions, the stars and planets are seen as living beings with their own consciousness and energy. Shamans work with these celestial beings to gain insight into the workings of the universe and to connect with the spiritual realm. They believe that the stars and planets can act as guides and teachers, helping them to navigate the spiritual world and to gain wisdom and knowledge.
Shamans often use astrology as a tool for understanding the movements of the stars and planets and their connection to human affairs. 

Astrology is the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies and how they relate to human affairs and personality traits. Shamans use astrology to understand the underlying patterns and cycles of the universe and to gain insight into the forces that are affecting human consciousness.

Many shamanic cultures also have their own unique systems of astrology that are closely tied to their spiritual beliefs and practices. For example, the Maya developed a highly sophisticated system of astrology that included a 260-day calendar based on the cycles of the moon and Venus. This calendar was used to determine the characteristics and life path of individuals based on their date of birth, and also to plan important events and ceremonies.

In addition to astrology, shamans may also use other tools and practices to connect with the stars and planets, such as meditation, vision quests, and dreamwork. These practices can help them to enter altered states of consciousness and to connect with the spiritual realm.

The shamanic connection to the stars and planets is based on the belief that these celestial bodies have their own consciousness and energy, and that their movements can have a profound impact on human consciousness.

They use astrology and other practices to understand the underlying patterns and cycles of the universe and to gain insight into the forces that are affecting human affairs.

Listen to Some Mercurial Music with this Trismegistus Playlist

Image
This morning, as I was browsing through some Spotify recommendations, a new artist popped up that I hadn't seen before. The cover of the single that was presented to me was pretty captivating for some reason, and it led me down a rabbit hole exploring this artist's work. One track, in particular, caught my attention, called "Trismegistus." For those of you who have been studying astrology for a while, that name might ring a bell. "Trismegistus" refers to Hermes Trismegistus, the mythological progenitor of astrology, known as 'thrice great' and connected to both Egyptian and Greek mythology. While I won't dive too deep into the historical and mythological intricacies here, let's just say the track struck a chord with me on a deeper, almost cosmic level. Inspired by this discovery, I decided to curate an astrologically themed playlist that embodies the mystical qualities of the universe, wrapped in the enchanting cloak of music. The "Trism...
