A new episode of The Mystical Underground is live! “Trish MacGregor: Star Power For October 2022”:
Join Trish for the October 2022 astrological forecast!
The Trickster is a curious archetype, two-faced, actually. Sometimes he/she is an oddball with a wry wit and sense of humor. That trickster makes you laugh at yourself. But other times, the trickster is dark, a narcissist that thinks it’s all about him/her and everything and everyone else is collateral damage. Trump fits the dark trickster.
With the help of former AG Bill Barr, one of his best enablers until January 6, he coasted through the Mueller investigation. The repugs were behind their chosen one throughout two impeachments. And through it all, through four years of his admin, this dark trickier was cackling all the way to the bank. The civil suit by New York’s attorney General, Leticia James, is just the most recent legal headache for trump. It’s likely to fulfill a prediction that Danish astrologer Adrian Duncan made on our podcast: that the trump brand would fade away.
He got his special master for the classified documents taken from Mar a Lago but the DOJ went to an appeal court and won so they can now have the 100 or so classified docs and continue with their investigation. The trickster’s delay delay ploy backfired. For a full list of trump’s legal jeopardy right now, just Google “trump’s recent legal problems.”
Trump fits the dark trickster archetype perfectly. He gets away with his scams for decades and when he becomes prez decides nothing needs to change. Barr was a major facilitator in that sense. You can’t charge a sitting prez with a crime. Then with J6, Barr seems to have experienced a major attitude correction. So what kind of archetype is he? Treasonous traitor?
But now the dark trickster hasn’t been president for nearly two years and all his previous crimes and grifter antics are closing in. He rages on his Twitter ripoff platform. He plays to QAnon. His rallies are long rages against the media, the deep state, the FBI, the “radical left.” He names his enemies. His followers out there at the rallies in increasingly diminish numbers, offer a QAnon salute, arms raised, index finger standing at attention.
Think about that for a moment. An ex-president cozying up to a fringe extreme right domestic terror group. An ex-prez who incited an attempted insurrection. An ex-prez who lives in a delusional world where he’s still prez and thinks he has executive power.
It isn’t just tragic, it’s dangerous. Trump has become a threat to democracy.
But he isn’t the only threat. Florida’s governor, Ron DeSantis, is also a dark trickster. But he’s another story.
Cover of our new book designed by our daughter, Megan!
Thank you, Megger!
Trish and I belong to a British ghostwriting site where we receive requests from writers looking for help with their novels or non-fiction books. Recently, I got one from a New Zealander living on an island off the coast who was looking for help with a fantasy novel featuring a young Leonardo de Vinci. He wrote in part:
“I am a life-long fan of Leonardo and have visited the Château d’Amboise – where he is buried – and which contains a museum of Leonardo’s work and inventions. It has a beautiful view of the river Loire.
“I would love to work with you on bringing Leo to life and delighting readers around the world with some amazing adventures! The Adventures of young Leonardo Da Vinci – Vampire Slayer & International Spy – is the first of a series of books.”
I had just read the inquiry when I heard the name Leonardo on the TV in the background. I looked over and sure enough there was a story about a man named Leonardo Leo. Not quite de Vinci, but seemingly as scary as a vampire!
Anyhow, it seemed like a good sign and even though the author also approached four other ghostwriters, I’m now negotiating with him for a contract. It might happen. Thank you, Leonardos.
A new episode of The Mystical Underground is live! “Rob Macgregor: Staff Of Kings: Episode 9”:
Join Rob MacGregor, the author of the Indiana Jones prequel novels and the Mystical Underground as they present the ninth and final episode of an audio production of the unpublished novel “Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings.”
Sometimes called “The Lost Indiana Jones novel,” Staff of Kings has been released as nine episodes on The Mystical Underground’s podcast feed, beginning August 22, 2021.
Here a list with links to all nine episodes.
In 7 Secrets of Synchronicity, the 5th secret is Clusters: Synchronicity manifests itself in clusters of numbers, names, objects, words, symbols.
Quite often, people who see the same numbers, like 11:11, over and over feel they’re being stalked by the numbers, hunted, pursued. That’s how writer William Burroughs felt after numerous synchronicities with the number 23.
In Tangiers in the early 1960s, the author of Naked Lunch knew a Captain Clark who ran a ferry from Tangiers to Spain. Clark boasted that he’d been running the ferry for twenty-three years without an accident and on the same day of the boast, the ferry sank, killing Clark and everyone on board. That same evening Burroughs was mulling over this tragedy and happened to turn on the radio. He heard about the crash of a New York-Miami airplane piloted by a Captain Clark. The flight number was 23.
The synchronicity shocked Burroughs and he began compiling a list of coincidences involving the number 23. In 1965, his friend and fellow author Robert Anton Wilson also started compiling a list about the number. One of the personal oddities Burroughs found concerned his daughters, who were born August 23 and February 23. In 1977, he wrote about this weirdness for the Fortean Times. It appeared in issue 23.
Now let’s take a look at literature. Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564 and died on April 23, 1616. His first folio was published in 1623,
Hollywood also has its share of 23s. Take the X Files production company, Ten-Thirteen. The numbers 10 and 13 add up to 23. The show’s creator, Chris Carter, was born on 10/13. In one and the number 1013 appeared on the side of the silo. In another episode, Muldur went to the apartment of. Recently deceased man and the number 23 was on the door.
Remember the TV show Lost? It built on layers of synchronicity and there were many oddities that involved 23:
Oceanic Flight 815 – 8+15=23
The flight departed from gate 23
Jack’s seat on the plane was 23 A
Hurley stayed in a Sydney hotel on floor 23
The reward for turning Kate in was $23,000
Even if the repetition of 23 was intentional, it was the sort of weirdness that would have interested Burroughs and Wilson. They saw 23 as a death number. Maybe they were right. The twenty-third psalm is a popular reading at funerals. Burroughs discovered that the bootlegger Dutch Schultz had Vincent “Mad Dog” Coll assassinated on 23rd Street in New York when Coll was 23 years old. Schultz himself was assassinated on October 23. Wilson dug deeper and discovered that the man convicted of shooting Schultz served 23 years before being paroled. Wilson noted that in the telegraphers’ code, 23 means means “bust” or “break the line.” Hexagram 23 in The I Ching is called Splitting Apart.
And all these examples are just starters.
If you experience synchronicity clusters with the number 23, it doesn’t mean you’re going to die, that you’re cursed or anything else of that nature. But it could indicate that you’re going through a major transformative period in your life and that there’s a path ahead that you haven’t recognized yet.
P.S. A few hours after I’d written this post and put it on the dashboard, our daughter Megan texted. She’s traveling in Colorado and said they’d stopped for gas in a town that had just 23 residents. I asked her how she knew that and she said their server had told her. So it looks as if this #23 is gearing up to become a cluster. Stay tuned!
In 1983, I was teaching Spanish to middle schoolers at a private school that was part of Nova University in Fort Lauderdale. Spanish wasn’t their favorite subject, so I told my 8th graders that if they studied Spanish four days a week, then every Friday we would study “anomalies” and do psychic experiments. They loved it!
On March 14, 1983, I asked them to write down their predictions for 25 years in the future – i.e., for 2008. It had to include a prediction about themselves. Rob ran across a folder today with all their predictions inside.
There are a number of precognitions in these predictions: school at home with TV so you and the teacher can see each other; phones with TVs so you can see the person you’re talking to; we’ll be closer to the truth about UFOs. You’ll also spot the stuff that hasn’t happened yet.
Deirdre Silverstein

Here’s a fascinating synchro story from Bernard Beitman’s new book, Meaningful Coincidences: How and Why Synchronicity and Serendipity Happen. We are interviewing Bernard about his book this week on The Mystical Underground podcast. Nathan Stein had wanted to be a doctor but the Great Depression forced him to give up his dream. He pinned his hopes on his grand- son Kevin who decided at a very early age to go to medical school. But Nathan died when Kevin was nine. As a senior at Penn State University, Kevin was confronted with enormous tuition costs. His parents, both real estate agents, stepped up their efforts to bring in more business. One day his father, Sherman, noticed an ad by people planning to sell their house on their own. Although he rarely contacted private sellers, he felt an uncontrollable urge to make an appointment with them. After two appointment changes, Sherman met with the seller. With the address in hand, he had a strange feeling. As he walked up to the front door, he realized that this was his father-in-law’s old house! As Sherman was telling the sellers about this coincidence, the door- bell rang. It was the mailman with a registered letter for Nathan Stein who had died fourteen years earlier. Sherman signed for it. The letter was from a bank about Nathan Stein’s dormant account. The account contained the exact amount Kevin needed to go to medical school. In this story, the mind included the intentions of four people—the pre- med student, his parents, and his deceased grandfather. |

Here’s an interesting news item related to the queen’s death. We would call this a global synchronicity since its related to an event that enters the consciousness of millions of people.
As crowds gathered in rain-swept London Thursday evening due to the news that Queen Elizabeth II was gravely ill, the clouds suddenly parted, revealing a double rainbow above Buckingham Palace.
Approximately 20 minutes after the appearance of the rainbow, the palace issued a statement at 6;30 p.m. local time announcing that Elizabeth had passed away at Balmoral Castle, her retreat in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
There was also a cloud spotted with an uncanny resemblance to the queen wearing her hat. You can see it here.
Aries: I’m the Star Trek motto, going where no one else has gone before. Cross me and I’ll mow you down. I don’t give a shit.
Taurus: I cultivate and civilize what Aries discovers. I’ve also got some secrets that no one will uncover. I’m vying with Scorpio for the most stubborn sign. Give me a plot of land and I’ll bring you food, sustenance.
Gemini: I collect information and then disseminate it, far and wide. I’m the messenger who takes what Aries discovers and what Taurus cultivates, and hand it off to Cancer. Ha. But hey, I also seduce you with my words and my stories.
Cancer: Ha? Bro, you need therapy, honest introspection. I embrace Aries, Taurus, even you, Gemini. Let me help you. I am MOM. I am TRUST. I am NURTURING LOVE
Leo: Seriously? This is a real conversation? C’mon, you guys. Let’s go party with Sadge. Let me lead you. Let me show you how.
Virgo: Details, folks, details. How does the mosaic fit together? How do all these intricate pieces create a whole? Why do I feel like I’m out here on a limb by myself? Huh?
Libra: Banging my gavel, listen up. Each of you has a piece of the cosmic puzzle, okay? Now, can we all be friends? Please? Can we go find something to do that we all love?
Scorpio: OMG. They’re all missing the point, the absolute bottom line. It’s mythological, you idiots. Profound. Wake up! We’re trapped in the matrix. Who’s leading us out of this weirdness?
Sagittarius: I’ve got tickets to a vision quest on the island of Mykonos in Greece. Give me mushrooms and let’s go find the truth. All of you are my friends until you prove to be otherwise and then, oh yeah, dudes, bye-bye.
Capricorn: I’m scaling mountains one painful step at a time and you guys want to trip in Greece? Why? Convince me that I should go. Explain it. Lay out your case. How does this enhance my resume?
Aquarius: Cappy, c’mon, You have ambition but lack vision. You have goals but don’t understand your personal quest. Your endurance is unsurpassed but…where’s your passion? Me, I’m into the family of man. Give me your visionaries…
Pisces: C’mon, you guys. All of you. Let’s go dance with the collective. Let’s be visionaries and optimists. Let’s go find a woods or an ocean and meditate and dream and visualize what we desire. A planet united.
