On Monday morning I asked for questions for the next Conversations Under the Oaks, the Q&A \/ AMA feature I do a couple times a year. My Facebook friends wasted no time in asking some good, deep, serious questions. Here\u2019s the first one:<\/p>\n

It is Tower Time. It absolutely is. How does one practically prepare for this time? How do we balance trust with action? How do we walk out our beliefs in our daily life and what does that look like?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to overreact, I want to be wise.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019ve written a lot about Tower Time over the years. I started around 2010 with vague warnings, especially from the Morrigan. By my observation, Tower Time got here in 2016<\/a>. In 2019 I wrote this post<\/a> that explains it in some depth. Early last year I taught an on-line course on Navigating Tower Time<\/a> \u2013 the course is on-demand and you can take it now if you like.<\/p>\n

But I think it\u2019s worth coming back to the topic again to answer this specific question.<\/p>\n

How do we live in Tower Time?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Tower Time: a primer<\/h2>\n

Tower Time is named for The Tower in the Tarot. It\u2019s a card of sudden, dramatic, and irreversible change. As the artwork in the Waite-Smith deck and derivative decks shows, structures and institutions that were built on false or weak foundations crumble and fall when struck by lightning.<\/p>\n

Some readers like to say \u201cThe Tower is destroying the old to make way for the new.\u201d That\u2019s one way to look at it. But there\u2019s no way of knowing how long it will take to clear away the debris and start building the new. There\u2019s no guarantee that what comes next will be any better \u2013 if the same people who built and controlled the old Tower are allowed to build the new one, odds are good it won\u2019t be better. And if you happen to be one of the people falling from The Tower as it collapses, you may not be around to find out.<\/p>\n

What we know for sure is that old structures are collapsing. The world of 2015 is never coming back\u2026 not that 2015 was ideal by anyone\u2019s standards. Neither is the world of 1999, or \u2013 for those who wish for such injustices \u2013 the world of 1950.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Both this-world and Otherworld elements<\/h2>\n

So what is Tower Time?<\/p>\n

This essay by Umair Haque of eand.co titled The End of the Age of Abundance (and the Beginning of the Age of Scarcity)<\/a> describes the impact of climate change and the over-reaches of Western consumer culture. These lead directly to political shifts: \u201ceverything from theocracy to fascism to authoritarianism.\u201d<\/p>\n

All this is leading to the decline of the Anglo-American empire. And those with money and power are doing everything they can to stay in power, no matter who gets hurt in the process.<\/p>\n

What the secular observers miss is that there\u2019s also an Otherworldly element to Tower Time. The boundary between this world and the Otherworld is getting very weak<\/a>. Gods we haven\u2019t heard from in centuries are active and on recruiting missions. The Fair Folk never truly went away, but they\u2019re making their presence known<\/a> in ways they haven\u2019t done in over a hundred years.<\/p>\n

The cycles of magic<\/a> are shifting and they\u2019re shifting fast. More and more people are doing more and more magic. Some have suggested this is creating a feedback loop. I\u2019m not sure about that, but I am sure that there\u2019s never been a better time to learn and practice magic in recorded history.<\/p>\n

Tower Time is sudden, dramatic, and irreversible change \u2013 in both the ordinary world and in the world of spirit.<\/p>\n

So what do we do about it?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t panic<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s time to take action. It\u2019s not time to panic.<\/p>\n

Tower Time is not an apocalypse. Apocalyptic prophecies have a 3500 year track record of being wrong every single time. It\u2019s not a collapse. The British Empire has been in decline since World War I \u2013 Britain is still a decent place to live (it would be better if they hadn\u2019t shot themselves in the foot with Brexit, but as someone living in a country that elected Donald Trump President<\/a>, I have no room to feel superior).<\/p>\n

The political situation will remain uneasy. Every election is important, but the election this November and the 2024 Presidential election are especially important (\u201cthe most important election of our lifetime\u201d was 2016 \u2013 we chose poorly).<\/p>\n

Climate change may very well drive some species to extinction \u2013 humans are not one of them. We\u2019re too resilient and we have too much technology. We may very well cause the deaths of hundreds of millions of humans \u2013 or we may not, that\u2019s not certain yet \u2013 but we will not kill off our species.<\/p>\n

Life for all but the very rich will continue to be disruptive and challenging.<\/p>\n

You cannot save everyone. You can save yourself, your family, and your community.<\/p>\n

Do not let what you cannot do stop you from doing what you can do.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A spiritual response<\/h2>\n

Taking care of yourself begins with a robust daily spiritual practice. I don\u2019t think I could have made it through the last three years without my own spiritual practice<\/a>. Prayer, meditation, offerings, devotional readings \u2013 these things keep us connected to our Gods and to our highest values.<\/p>\n

Make sure you have some sort of ancestor practice. Whatever we\u2019re going through, we have ancestors who\u2019ve been through worse. They made it through or we quite literally wouldn\u2019t be here. We can be inspired by their lives, and we can call on them for advice and assistance.<\/p>\n

Ancestors are generally our most accessible spiritual allies.<\/p>\n

If you have troublesome ancestors<\/a> (and we all do) then find ancestors further back in your line you can work with. None of them are perfect (and neither are you) but perfection isn\u2019t the goal. Finding and honoring allies is.<\/p>\n

Make sure you have some sort of Nature-oriented practice. We are part of Nature, and affirming that connection is a source of comfort and strength. Plus it\u2019s the right thing to do.<\/p>\n

Financial strategy<\/h2>\n

Our mainstream culture creates too much shame around money. Shame if you have too little (\u201cwhat are you, lazy?\u201d) and shame if you have too much (\u201cno one needs that much\u201d).<\/p>\n

Money is a tool. Like any tool, it is neither good nor evil. What makes it good or evil is how it\u2019s used. Having the right tool makes a huge difference in getting a job done. Having enough money makes a huge difference in working through the challenges life throws at us.<\/p>\n

Jason Miller of Strategic Sorcery has a brief blog post where he discusses four stages of financial development<\/a>. What you need to do when you\u2019re broke is different from what you need to do when you\u2019re in a solid situation.<\/p>\n

The important thing is to take care of yourself, where ever you are. Expect more volatility. Flexibility and liquidity is helpful at any stage of life. It\u2019s more important than ever in Tower Time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Magical strategy<\/h2>\n

Tower Time is more than changes in Nature. It\u2019s more than changes in politics and economics. It\u2019s also changes in magic.<\/p>\n

The currents of magic are getting stronger. That means if you can work magic, you can work bigger magic. You can work magic more reliably.<\/p>\n

This is a golden age of magic and witchcraft. Books whose mere possession would have gotten you burned at the stake 400 years ago are now delivered to your doorstep \u2013 in English \u2013 in a matter of days. We\u2019re starting to see some fear-based pushback<\/a> from the fundamentalists, but you\u2019re in no danger of having the Inquisition show up and trying to see if you float or not.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t know magic, learn it. If you know some magic, practice it. If you\u2019re good at magic, get better. Then use magic to help improve your finances, your health, and your general living conditions.<\/p>\n

Build networks of mutual support<\/h2>\n

Byron Ballard<\/a>, who originated the term Tower Time, often talks about \u201ccircles on the ground\u201d \u2013 small local groups of people who support each other, encourage each other, and look after each other.<\/p>\n

We are not going to get through Tower Time alone. Well, you can, but it\u2019s going to be even harder than it will otherwise. That\u2019s heresy for many Pagans who want to do their own thing in their own way and never have to deal with the messiness that is human relations. That doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not necessary.<\/p>\n

Who can you call at 2:00 AM when you\u2019ve just received bad news and you need to talk? Who can take you to the doctor when you\u2019re too sick to drive? As the meme goes, friends help you move \u2013 real friends help you move bodies. I don\u2019t recommend getting into situations where you need to move bodies, but do you have someone who would, if it was necessary? Would you help them in a similar situation?<\/p>\n

Besides, life is better together. Find people you can share it with, in good times and in bad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

See things as they are<\/h2>\n

We live in a time of 24\/7 news. We should be the best informed people in the history of humanity. Instead, we\u2019re buried under propaganda and \u201cinfotainment.\u201d Even news outlets that make an honest effort to present factual information still package it in a way designed to keep you watching or clicking.<\/p>\n

The need to see things clearly is stronger than ever.<\/p>\n

Learn to separate facts from opinions and from interpretation. Learn to spot articles and features that are factually correct but framed so as to drive you to a political conclusion.<\/p>\n

More importantly, learn to evaluate how things will impact you \u2013 and how they won\u2019t. That\u2019s not to say you shouldn\u2019t care about Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine or Saudi Arabia\u2019s oppression of women. It is to say that walking around in a state of perpetual outrage is unsustainable.<\/p>\n

Seeing things as they are is critical to navigating Tower Time.<\/p>\n

Chaos brings opportunities<\/h2>\n

And when you see things as they are, you start to recognize opportunities. Opportunities to make your life better. Opportunities to make the world better. Opportunities to make money (ethically), to make allies, to make friends.<\/p>\n

Those of you who know me well know I love order. But too much order can be stagnating for all of us, and it can be oppressive for some of us. Chaos overturns order and in doing so, creates opportunities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These opportunities are not evenly distributed. They are not fair. But they are there for the taking, for those who can, and those who will.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the going gets weird, the weird turn pro\u201d<\/h2>\n

I started and concluded the Navigating Tower Time class with this quote from gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson (1937 \u2013 2005). Nobody\u2019s sure exactly what Thompson meant by this \u2013 he wasn\u2019t known for expository writing. I take it as a reminder to not deny the weird and not hide from it, but to embrace it and to use it to our advantage.<\/p>\n

Tower Time is real. It has environmental, economic, and political elements that anyone can see, if they don\u2019t have their heads buried in the sand (or in a certain would-be dictator\u2019s backside). But most can\u2019t see the spiritual and magical elements of Tower Time. Or they won\u2019t see them, because it would require them to re-examine their materialist worldview.<\/p>\n

If you can see that, you\u2019ve got an advantage over those who can\u2019t or won\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Use that advantage to take care of you and yours.<\/p>\n

Tower Time is not Mercury Retrograde. It won\u2019t be over in a month or a year or a decade. My belief (based on analysis and on UPG) is that no one alive today will see its end. There will be no apocalypse, no collapse \u2013 we don\u2019t get out that easy.<\/p>\n

We have to live through Tower Time.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s do it the best we can.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
