Learning from, listening to, and turning back the spirits of the sublunar is a powerful skill, which is often lost in larger discussions of astrological magic and practice that focus on procedure and theory. By reconnecting with these skills of process and bringing awareness to the ways that the sublunar influences our astromagical workings, we gain access to a world of spirits that are shaped by the stars and capable of enriching and co-creating in our astrological workings. Through this course, the process and practice of engaging with sublunar spirits will be inspected across time to help us synthesize a mode of practice that works. Ultimately, we are faced with recognizing the commonalities in the experience of the sublunar mage and the sublunar spirit — and that’s where the exploration begins.
