Planetary Hours: Are They For Real?, and if they are, what is the mechanism Options

Hello all,

Trying to get that ugly brand of "3 posts probation" off of my avatar. Apparently replying doesn't count.

So, any thoughts on the planetary hours?

I would argue that any effect caused is probably caused by the sustained ritual of using the Gregorian calender, either the magic simply built up over time or was seeded by the people who
first started using the 7 days of the week as we do now.

I have to say I've not been very familiar with the planetary hours up until resently so i can't say it works out of experience,
but as it holds a synchronicity with the 7days of the week which is a powerful cultural imprint it would surprise me greatly if it didn't work.

Seeing it as man-made thing as i do, i don't really approve of it, it's influence is powerful yet simplistic, the actual influence of the planets is a different thing entirely.
It would seem to me that the energy's of the planets are just used as a template because they where well known to the people at the time an be easy for them to use.

Compare the whole thing to something professionally made like the Mayan calender an it seems well... out of date?
I will make a topic on that point so as not to derail the thread.

I am currently in the hour of Jupiter -would now be a good time to buy a lotto ticket?
while i'm not a fan i have based that on very little experience so i'm also going to start using them more often. to buy lotto tickets. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
