Hello,

I'm curious about the predisposition of Purnavasu individuals towards witchcraft and occult knowledge. While these practices are commonly associated with Shravana, Hasta, and Ashlesha nakshatras, I've always speculated that Purnavasu might also exhibit a penchant for spiritual exploration.

imo the nakshatras you mentioned are just some of the ones associated with the occult as per Claire's research, I think there are many more and that each nakshatra has its own unique occult ability as each nak serves its cosmic purpose.

I have always believed that Punarvasu natives tend to have psychic abilities, especially the power of foresight, which may not be a "psychic" ability in and of itself but these individuals have the ability to understand the patterns and interconnections among things in ways others can't with the existing information.

Jupiter is connected to the ether element (called "akasha" in Sanskrit) it is the element that makes everything else possible. Ether is the synergy of all the elements. Ether is space, stillness, that which contains and holds. Ether is the element that connect us to spirit, intuition, other realms and planes.

Ether is both nothing and everything at the same time. It’s stillness, yet it’s the very thing that makes all movement and life possible. 

It is the most subtle, and hardest to perceive and describe. The aether element becomes denser to form an air element, followed by fire, water, and finally earth.

Ether is the first element, the one that makes all other elements possible, Jupiter, the "guru" being associated with this element makes complete sense because knowledge and learning is crucial to living.

But specifically with Punarvasu, whose deity is Aditi, the mother of the universe, the themes of creation and willing one self into existence from nothing, or having always existed and creating everything, space and time (Aditi is the personification of all things including consciousness, fertility, space and time) are very apparent. Punarvasu possessing occult, psychic abilities just sort of makes sense in this context?? like I'd be surprised if they didn't lol after all these themes and mythology

Punarvasu is also connected to the water element (Shravana & Ashlesha are also connected to the water element whereas Hasta belongs to the air element) and water is what gives people psychic abilities imo, it's the most spiritual element because it absorbs everything readily. Life took form for the first time millions of years ago in water.

I feel like Punarvasus have the strongest intuition of anybody because of that ether + water connection. They do have clairvoyant abilities. The ether element is also associated with the ears/hearing so 👀

I'll make a detailed post in the future citing examples hehe<33

trick or treat! (also I have a question- what situations would warrant ether to be used and not any other anesthetics? OwO)

Oooh really good question-

Ether is actually a really, really common anesthetic- especially in the developing world. There are a few reasons it's a good choice in a lower-resource environment:

1- it's the only drug you need for anesthesia

"Modern" anesthesia is a mix of multiple drugs, usually one to render the person unconscious, at least one to kill pain, and one to paralyze the person.

Ether does all three of those things. While you may want a pre-medication like diphenhydramine or midazolam and medications to manage side effects, you really only need the one.

2- It's cheap

Anesthetics are expensive. Ether is like $5 for the amount needed for a short surgery. And that's the medical stuff. There's industrial-grade ether that works just as well for a fraction of that.

3- It's easy to administer

Again, "modern" anesthesia requires a large, expensive machine to mix the gases for anesthesia. Ether requires a wire mesh mask and some gauze. The anesthetist just has to drip the ether onto the mask at a particular rate in order to cause anesthesia.

4- It doesn't cause respiratory depression

"Modern" anesthesia modalities often involve a strong opioid and a paralytic, which means the person must be intubated and placed on a ventilator for the duration of the procedure because they can't breathe on their own.

With ether, the patient continues breathing pretty much normally throughout the whole procedure, and does not require any artificial respiration.

So why don't developed countries routinely use ether? Well, as anesthetics go, it's unpleasant and fairly inconvenient. It smells bad, takes about 20 minutes to start working (an eternity in knocking-people-out time), is extremely flammable, and causes severe nausea and vomiting after waking up.

So generally when you have the option of something more expensive but also more convenient and pleasant, and you can afford it, you go with that. If you don't, but you have time and anti-emetics, ether's a great choice.
