Waning Moon Publications

A few people have asked me how I keep track of planetary days/hours since I like to start my projects at the appropriate time. For example I try to start each batch of The Consecrated Little Book of Black Venus on the day and hour of Venus... in my case Friday nights. So I am old school that way! But to me, making talismanic books is a ritual in itself so however I can incorporate ritual practice into the production process the better. Hence I do things like add powdered herbs to the glue, hide sigils under the leather, and consecrate the finished books in an appropriate manner.

Well, as far as determining planetary timing goes, I'd like to say I do this manually by getting the sunrise and sunset times and dividing the hours as appropriate but I am far too lazy for that. No, these days I use ChronosXP which is a handy (and free!) utility. (I turn off the notifications since they can get annoying.)
