Hunger.

Astrology is food for the soul. It should nourish us, it should bring us what we need in order to grow strong. However, like food, there is a lot of it that is junk. Confection. Pure artificiality, sweet to consume but death to our wellbeing, and addictive in how it appeals to our comfort zone.

We have a comfort zone because we experience fear, because growth experiences are painful and beyond our understanding and control. We have been traumatised, and that deserves to be honoured and healed. But be wary of the medicine you consume.

Humans are so prone to addiction! We are doomed to experience scarcity and lack at times where we don’t know how to cope, and this can draw us into toxic cycles that are hell to break free from.

There’s an entity known in the USA as the wendigo. It is born in areas where there has been cannibalism. The wendigo is always hungry and doomed to be hungry forever, to consume more and more… The wendigo can affect what comes near it with its psychosis, and sickness for more. So you can imagine those people who came starving into lonely places and fell prey to the wendigo may have started to feed off others, when the need for human flesh subsided the craziness remained.

What’s nourishing can often no longer appeal. What feeds its own desire for more is it’s own devil fruit. I find many troubling myths perpetuated by people who are themselves bitten by the wendigo, struck by their inability to accept change, cowering in ego and clinging to more. Pushing a spiritual message that makes its followers thirsty for more and more comfort and lulled from examining their own thinking.

These people aren’t in it for the knowledge and for the love of what they do, they are lost in the accumulation of money and followers in order to perpetuate their own karmic cycle in a state of stasis as long as possible. You and your cash are their drug and their supply to keep their own hell, and yours, going as long as possible.

So how do you know if an astrologer or tarot reader or any other occult worker is not in the grip of their own hunger and is doing their own work with honesty and integrity? I tell you this, their message needs to challenge you. It needs to bite you at a spot in yourself that you must look to yourself in order to find the means to address. In other words, it can’t just tell you what you want to hear.

Do you want to be prey forever? If not, you just face the pain.

And if all else fails, look at the eyes. They should tell you everything.
