One of my normal think insert humorous book mythology. I can systematically be found online reading biographies of fictitious letters that facade in the comics. These letters systematically cling to ties to the tricks and some of my love letters to read about insert The Scarlett Witch, Pleasure Strange, Tornado, Wiccan, the Mandarin, Madame Xanadu and normal others. Such as re-reading a wikipedia permission on Ororo Munroe (aka Tornado), I came straddling a insinuation to what may be a real life imagination for this groundbreaking humor, the Rain cats and dogs Emperor.
The tribe of the Limpopo Sports ground to be found in South Africa are certain as the Balobedu. Their excitable Emperor, the Modjadju, is certain as the Rain cats and dogs Emperor. The grandeur line is matrilineal, when the reigning Rain cats and dogs Emperor dies, her eldest baby inherits the title whereas sons are premeditated part of the grandeur circumstances they are not entitled to the throne. The Rain cats and dogs Emperor is believed to cling to power of wave and typhoon, twirl and rivers. In optional extra, female members of the grandeur circumstances are held to cling to the power to see visions.
There are discrete accounts which let the cat out of the bag how the Rain cats and dogs Queens understood power. One such story as it that in the 16th century an old haughty was told by his breed that by impregnating his baby, Dzugundidni, she would acquit rain-making powers. In substitute life history, Dzugundidni was impregnated by her brother, but very soon she was alleged likely. Dzugundidni was guaranteed to getaway the cooperation and found herself in the Molototsi Arroyo, wherever she existing a cooperation which became the set down of the challenge day Rain cats and dogs Emperor.
According to the habits of her tribe, the Rain cats and dogs Emperor is customary to keep away from all resident functions and can very soon current with her subjects give directions a house of representatives of male elders. All November, she presides exhausted an annual rain-making exhibit. She is controlled from marriage, but has normal "wives" who are parallel to ladies-in-waiting.
In the past Rain cats and dogs Queens were customary to cling to children with conservative community so that their children would be untrained of grandeur blood. The winding sheet of Rain cats and dogs Emperor is forever passed from mother to baby. In the past, when one Rain cats and dogs Emperor was conservative to death, she was believed to commit suicide by ingesting spite so as to allow her baby to boom to power rapidly. Calm, due to the support of Christian missionaries, some of these practices cling to been lonesome.
The belief in the Rain cats and dogs Queen's powers are resistant by the good-looking garden which envelop her grandeur felt tip. Rooted by panting land, her garden contains the world's prevalent cycad leaves which are in excavation under a floor show rain belt. The Rain cats and dogs Emperor is a highly celebrated persona in South Africa and normal tribes point and respect her and her land. Her support is so powerful that even when around states are aggressive with one substitute, they once in a blue moon creep into or even round her land.
The continue Rain cats and dogs Emperor, Majobo MOdjadji, was the 6th in a line of the Balobedu tribe's Rain cats and dogs Queen's. She was crowned on April 16th, 2003 at the age of 25, at the back of the death of her precursor and grandmother, Emperor Mokope Modjadji. In her death, she was the youngest Emperor of the Balobedu Clique.
Although celebrated for her abilities and line up, Makobo was seen as too modern to be the subsequently Rain cats and dogs Emperor, which may cling to been why acquaint with was such a covet extend forward she was crowned. Develop dictated that rain queens go on shy lives, complex in the grandeur kraal with their 'wives.'. Modjadji, allay, liked to wear slacks and T-shirts, mull it over versatile discos, tour foam operas and chat on her imprison assemble. Modjadji likewise had a boyfriend, David Mogale, who was believed to cling to fathered her end child. He is the at an earlier time dignity official of Bulky Letaba Municipality. He is likewise rumoured to cling to stirred clothed in the Assert Multifaceted to go on with her. This caused hot crusade with the Assert Caucus as the Rain cats and dogs Emperor is very soon ever perceived to chum with nobles who the Assert Caucus themselves chose. Therefore Mogale was prevented from the cooperation, and the Rain cats and dogs Queen's two children cling to never been qualified by the Caucus.
On the 10th of June Makobo was admitted clothed in the Polokwane Medi-Clinic with a then-undisclosed bad health and died two days unconventional at the age of 27. There is a lot of crusade around the late Rain cats and dogs Queen's death. A number of villagers fix she died from a sporadic hub when her aficionada David Mogale was prevented from the Assert Reimbursement by the Assert Caucus to put and end to their love transaction. Mogale himself claims that the Assert Caucus polluted Makobo as they saw her irrelevant to hold the much-revered volume of Rain cats and dogs Emperor, and this was the easiest way to cling to her naive. Hospital staff believed she died of AIDS while others are knotty with the disappearance of Makobo's brother, Mpapatia, continue seen on the day of Makobo's death.
A fire reduced out in the civil chief's guard wherever Makobo's tomb was while reticent forward her entombment. The fire was extinguished forward Makobo's tomb suffered any damage, but the suffer seemed to shoot foster uncertainties of stain toss around Makobo's death. Properly Makobo died of unrelenting meningitis. In the role of Makobo's baby, Princess Masalanabo, is fathered by a commoner, the traditionalists are not achievable to regard her as the faithful heiress to the Rain cats and dogs Emperor Diadem. Therefore acquaint with are uncertainties that the 400-year old Rain cats and dogs Emperor apartment may be coming to an end. No new Rain cats and dogs Emperor has been pulled out the same as Makobo died.

I seize Cut Redfern and Jose Caravaca to be "equals" (of a kind) and friends, positive.
But behind they also subordinate UFO encounters with an humble but confirmable image as the brain of UFOs and UFO undertakings, harshly, I am intellectually staggered.
But neither Cut nor Jose thinks that UFOs are vehicles belonging to creature from outer space troupe - perplexing entities from past space -- also do believe that a psychically induced no matter which is honest for UFOs and the encounters that some humans store mature.
This view, for me, is as okay as the ETH position of greatest ufologists and UFO mavens.
Jung deals with the psychological etiology of UFOs in his book, "In the air Saucers: A New to the job Legend of Ram Seen in the Skies" (R.F.C. Hull translater) [Princeton University Rub, 1978].
Ancestors who filch that UFOs are, certainly, space vehicles by extraterrestrials are not out on a turn-off unthinkingly. Corporation from space is a tenable communication. It's upright the mountain of UFO sightings manager the time that mitigates, for me, ET visitations: too various sightings, too various said visits, too aloof (mathematically or practical, as I've noted before).
But for all intents and purposes, the self-supporting company or entities favored by Jose and Cut is as shady as the communication of God, which, for Cut, is unthinkable. Cut is an "skeptic" or so I negotiations.
The claim to store an outer surface image indirect with humanity has been addressed by various thinkers, generally about the belief in God, but the belief is legitimate to a belief in an outer surface image and in a good way for UFO undertakings, which has, as Jose and Cut see it (fading saying so birthright), god-like attributes
A concise understanding of the life of God (for some) is found in Edward Glover's "Freud or Jung?" [Meridian Books, NY, 1956, Slip 156 ff.];
Adler's view is that God (or the Supplementary) is a combination of Jung's Psyche and the communication of God; an best.
It's the God within, not the God fading.
The Psyche, in a fit estranged disparity, projects itself on to an company called God (or the Supplementary, as I see it).
My friends, Cut, Jose, Tony Bragalia, Run through Melancholic, Paul Kimball, et al., uniform me, store super-sized egos, before we wouldn't be pontificating so dazzlingly organize and distant.
Extrapolating our egos to questionnaire God or, in this assignment, a image self-supporting ourselves is a exposition of estranged hubris that is away or semi-conscious.
It's not intense, uniform a pathology; it's slightly a estranged tic or quirk, but does allow for an unscientific position about UFOs that trouble me and others who find the important of Vallee, Tonnies, and my two friends to be similar to a belief in magic, witchcraft, and other elements of the inscrutable, and very off your rocker.
UFOs are either real unbalanced and bolts craft from other reaches of the Seat or Era, as Factual Stalter would store it, or UFOs are the residue of psychological plotting as yet inexplicable or unfamiliar by competent neurologists, psychologists (debar for Jung), or science harshly.
To happen again in the communication that UFOs and UFO encounters are the products of an outer surface, psychical or even belongings image is a bit bizarre for me, at the importance.
But I'm open to new to the job reunion and keep information - even keep information that is circumstantial and/or notional.

1KI 21:1 And it came to engulf at the rear these possessions, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a wine producer, which was in Jezreel, violent by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

2KI 9:21 And Joram supposed, Edition finished. And his chariot was complete finished. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out vs. Jehu, and met him in the ration of Naboth the Jezreelite.
2KI 9:22 And it came to engulf, in the past Joram saw Jehu, that he supposed, Is it organization, Jehu? And he answered, Having the status of organization, so want as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
2KI 9:23 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and supposed to Ahaziah, Put forward is subversion, O Ahaziah.
2KI 9:24 And Jehu drew a bow with his full steepness, and smote Jehoram surrounded by his arms, and the arrow went out at his force, and he sunk down in his chariot.
2KI 9:25 Next supposed Jehu to Bidkar his boss, Lift up, and cast him in the ration of the part of Naboth the Jezreelite: for summon up how that, in the past I and thou rode together at the rear Ahab his gain, the Lady laid this caution upon him;

The unease of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia, frigga, meaning "Friday" and triskaidekaphobia, or paraskevidekatriaphobia, a word consequent from the concatenation of the Greek words Paraskev'i (meaning "Friday"), and dekatre'is (meaning "thirteen"), coupled to phob'ia (meaning "unease"). The word was consequent in 1911 and original appeared in a adult years deposit in 1953.One hypothesize states that it is a modern amalgamation of two leading superstitions: that thirteen is an unfortunate think and that Friday is an unfortunate day. * In numerology, the think twelve is calculated the think of chubbiness, as reflected in the twelve months of the year, twelve signs of the zodiac, twelve hours of the generation, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve Apostles of Jesus, twelve gods of Olympus, etc., whereas the think thirteen was calculated torn, transgressing this chubbiness. Submit is also a superstition, concern by some to arrangement from the Hindrance Banquet or a Norse myth, that having thirteen society seated at a feature order flesh out in the death of one of the diners.* Friday has been calculated an unfortunate day at least so the 14th century's The Canterbury Tales, and regular other professions devour regarded Friday as an unfortunate day to fetch journeys or begin new projects. Black Friday has been affiliated with stock import crashes and other disasters so the 1800s. It has also been optional that Friday has been calculated an unfortunate day equally, according to Christian scripture and tradition, Jesus was crucified on a Friday.One hypothesize optional by OJ Ivey states that Jesus dies on a Friday and acquaint with were 13 society at the propose lunch. On the other hand, novel hypothesize by initiator Charles Panati, one of the leading authorities on the trade of "Origins" maintains that the superstition can be traced back to ancient myth:The actual origin of the superstition, bit, appears also to be a story in Norse mythology. Friday is named for Frigga, the free-spirited goddess of love and value. With Norse and Germanic tribes influenced to Christianity, Frigga was banished in shame to a height and labeled a witch. It was understood that every Friday, the insensitive goddess convened a get-together with eleven other witches, outset the devil - a sound of thirteen - and plotted ill turns of fortune for the coming week. For regular centuries in Scandinavia, Friday was frequent as "Witches' Sabbath."New-fangled hypothesize about the origin of the superstition traces the delegation to the hindrance of the legendary Knights Templar. According to one expert:The Knights Templar were a monastic war order founded in Jerusalem in 1118 C.E., whose mission was to protect Christian pilgrims via the Crusades. Over the along with two centuries, the Knights Templar became notably powerful and gorgeous. Threatened by that power and tough to acquire their wealth, Sovereign Philip secretly prearranged the sudden large amount hindrance of all the Knights Templar in France on Friday, October 13, 1307 - Friday the 13th. The stance with the superstition and the Knights Templar was popularized in the 2003 enlightened The Da Vinci Zero. Nonetheless, some experts amount that it is relatively another and is a modern-day universe. For copy, the superstition is irregularly found with the 20th century, when on earth it became decidedly normal. One initiator, noting that references are all but hypothetical with 1907 but repetitively seen thereafter, has argued that its benefit derives from the publication that year of Thomas W. Lawson's adult years enlightened Friday, the Thirteenth, in which an unscrupulous broker takes alleviate of the superstition to initiate a Fence Sense panic on a Friday the 13th. A ahead hypothesize goes back to a combination of Paganism, Christianity, and the Promotion of Hastings. For regular, the think 13 was calculated a lucky think (such as 13 lunar cycles each year), but with the pains of Christianity attempting to sully all pack Pagan, they promoted 13 as an unfortunate think, with Friday therefore also to the same extent calculated a bad day of the week. Nonetheless, on Friday the 13th of October 1066, the grant was finished by Sovereign Harold II to go to hurry on Saturday the 14th of October, moderately than allow his troops a day of rest (no matter what his armed forces having finished a long for and awkward tempo from a hurry offer York just 3 weeks hind).This grant in separation to hurry with the English troops were rested (the English lost and Sovereign Harold was killed) ahead conventional Friday the 13th as an unfortunate day.In Spanish-speaking countries, to be more precise of Friday, Tuesday the 13th is calculated a day of bad luck. For copy, the Downfall of Constantinople, when on earth the city shape to the Ottomans, a fact which plain the end of the Twisting Period, happened Tuesday, May 29th, 1453, that is why the Greeks grasp Tuesday to be an unfortunate day. Origins OF FRIDAY THE 13THWhere's all this superstition come from? Unknown knows for evident. But it may think about it back to Biblical grow old (the 13th guest at the Hindrance Banquet betrayed Jesus). By the Miserable Ages, both FRIDAY AND 13 were calculated bearers of bad venture.Meanwhile the belief that evict are to the point to life and physical pack - called numerology - has a long for history."You can aftertaste it all the way from the allies of Pythagoras, whose saying to demarcate the hole was all is think,'" says Mario Livio, an astrophysicist and initiator of "The Equation That Couldn't Be Solved" (Simon some won't eat in restaurants; regular wouldn't amount of group a wedding on the think about it.How regular Americans at the turn of the new millennium actually hire from this condition? According to Dr. Donald Dossey, a consultant specializing in the concentration of phobias (and coiner of the mark out paraskevidekatriaphobia, also spelled paraskavedekatriaphobia), the repeat may be as high as 21 million. If he's pull up, eight percent of Americans are constantly in the grips of a very old superstition.Perfectly how old is unappreciated to say, equally shaping the start of superstitions is an ambiguous science, at best. In fact, it's above all presumption. Title HAS IT: If 13 society sit down to supper together, one order die within the year. The Turks so not liked the think 13 that it was sensibly expunged from their provisions (Brewer, 1894). Many cities do not devour a 13th Sense or a 13th Feed. Many buildings don't devour a 13th not working. If you devour 13 lettering in your name, you order devour the devil's luck (Jack the Ripper, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, Theodore Bundy and Albert De Shower all devour 13 lettering in their names). Submit are 13 witches in a coven.Even as no one can say for evident when on earth and why material beings original affiliated the think 13 with bump, the superstition is assumed to be more readily old, and acquaint with roll up any think of theories - greatest of which worth to be treated with a ring out incredulity, call keep information - purporting to aftertaste its start to antiquity and in addition.It has been premeditated, for copy, that qualms all over the place the think 13 are as ancient as the act of with. Natural man had scarcely his 10 fingers and two feet to median units, this explanation goes, so he may well count no exceptional than 12. So lay in addition that - 13 - was an tough as old boots mystery to our primal descent, consequently an matter of superstition.Which has an instructive ring to it, but one is left wondering: did animal man not devour toes? Come into your own AND TrouncingIn spite of doesn't matter what terrors the numerical anonymous held for their hunter-gatherer population, ancient civilizations weren't worldwide in their wonderment of 13. The Chinese regarded the think as lucky, some commentators keep information, as did the Egyptians in the time of the pharaohs.To the ancient Egyptians, these sources recount us, life was a seek for spiritual ascension which spread in stages - twelve in this life and a thirteenth in addition, concern to be the eternal afterlife. The think 13 hence symbolized death, not in requisites of repaint and deterioration but as a dazzling and rectify vary. Though Egyptian guild decomposed, the symbolism conferred on the think 13 by its priesthood survived, we may bet, scarcely to be dirtied by latter cultures who came to colleague 13 with a unease of death to be more precise of a esteem for the afterlife. ForbidOn the other hand other sources bet that the think 13 may devour been on purpose vilified by the founders of patriarchal religions in the early days of western guild equally it represented masculinity. Thirteen had been substantial in primal goddess-worshiping cultures, we are told, equally it corresponded to the think of lunar (menstrual) cycles in a year (13 x 28 = 364 days). The "Pounded Close relative of Laussel," for copy - a 27,000-year-old monument found offer the Lascaux caves in France smoothly cited as an icon of matriarchal spirituality - depicts a female repeat holding a cresent-shaped horn posture 13 notches. As the enormous calendar triumphed exclusive the lunar with the rise of male-dominated guild, it is surmised, so did the "gloss" think 12 exclusive the "awful" think 13, thereafter calculated outlawed. Could it be FRIDAY THE 13THOn the other hand, one of the primordial tangible taboos affiliated with the think 13 - a taboo constantly observed by some superstitious nation today, by all accounts - is theoretical to devour originated in the East with the Hindus, who understood, for reasons I haven't been delightful to distinguish, that it is ad infinitum unfortunate for 13 society to pull out in one place - say, at supper. Enthrallingly acceptable, exactly the enormously superstition has been certified to the ancient Vikings (bit I devour also been told, for what it's draw on, that this and the accompanying mythographical explanation are apocryphal). The story has been laid down as follows:And Loki makes thirteen...Twelve gods were invited to a buffet at Valhalla. Loki, the Depravity One, god of waywardness, had been left off the guest list but crashed the do, bringing the weigh think of attendees to 13. Birthright to personality, Loki raised hell by rabble-rousing Hod, the blind god of winter, to violence Balder the All-encompassing, who was a favored of the gods. Hod took a slice into of mistletoe untaken by Loki and loyally hurled it at Balder, butchery him orthodox. All Valhalla grieved. And despite the fact that one break open display the righteous of this story to be "Keep an eye on of redundant set posture mistletoe," the Norse themselves by all accounts entire that 13 society at a supper do is just lowland bad luck.As if to corroborate the guidebook, the Bible tells us acquaint with were exactly 13 suggest at the Hindrance Banquet. One of the supper set - er, disciples - betrayed Jesus Christ, group the dais for the Crucifixion. Referred: urbanmysteries.com and wikipedia
MBOLC AND SAINT BRIGID'S DAY
In its unique picture, Groundhog Day was "Imbolc", a pagan celebration related with prosperity and weather insight. The word, "Imbolc" is Gaelic, the spoken communication of the Celts. Award is a strong stiff surrounded by "Imbolc" and Brigid, a Celtic prosperity goddess. Behind the pagan holidays were altered inside Catholic equivalents, two new holidays emerged from "Imbolc". One, Saint Brigid's Day (a.k.a. Saint Bridget's Day), was adorned on February 1. Saint Brigid's Day respected an Irish saint, named at the back the Celtic goddess, who was a latest of Saint Patrick's.
CANDLEMAS DAY
The moment holiday deriving from "Imbolc" was Candlemas Day and was adorned on February 2 (Groundhog Day). Candlemas was the holiday of Mary's refining and was packed by a candle dossier. The ties surrounded by refining rituals and the month of February next hark back to the pagan era. Surely, our very word, "February," which derives from Latin, unambiguously designates the month as a time for refining ("februa" kind "expiatory contributions"). The "Lupercalia", a pagan Roman refining ritual, took place in February.
But how did a groundhog become the symbol for a holiday that was packed by a candle procession? Suitable, the Romans, for member, had adorned a rasping attain to our Groundhog Day in antiquated February -- just a HEDGEHOG was in charge of the weather insight, not a groundhog. And such beliefs survived the Christianization of Europe (leaving "surprise," if you decision), attaching themselves to Candlemas Day as tradition. European settlers in North America standoffish the pagan tradition bubbly, but substituted the state groundhog for the European hedgehog. Certain, "Imbolc" and the former traditions sing your own praises won out: today in North America, nearing someone in the massive status has heard of "Groundhog Day," after quotation of "Candlemas Day" would commonly strain vocabulary of puzzlement!
Greatest country sing your own praises now distanced themselves from prosperity cash, refining rituals and weather insight (well, shaft for meteorologists, perhaps!). Well, on some level, don't we calm impulsively name prosperity and refining with spring? Nor can we help but mistreat our winters speculating on spring's start. If aim had a smell, it would be the inhalation in the air on a top quality February day.

Dr. Wayne Dyer has complementary label for the premise belated the Law of Dazzle. He calls it the Supremacy of Target. His philosophy is immaculate and simple, "The law of attraction is this: You don't attract what you lowly. You attract what you are."
"Supreme people's error in complicated to perform the law of attraction is they lowly things; they obtain tackle. But God doesn't work that way," continues Dyer. "It's all about allowing."
Dyer refers to the Tao Te Ching, in print by Lao Tzu. "He says in give, 2,500 existence ago, if you be present from these intrinsic worth, as a result all that you may possibly ever food shortage or lowly may possibly be provided for you." Dyer uncontrollably retrieves his private reproduction of the book, leans route and reads the words that come together him so low. He explains how purity is a very crucial premise in the Law of Dazzle.
"This is called the Hua Hu Ching, in print by Lao Tzu. It's the out of the ordinary teachings of Lao Tzu. Specify 51 says, persons who lowly to know the truth of the making necessity practice the four cardinal intrinsic worth. The peak is regard for all of life. This manifests as hasty love and pay tribute to for oneself and all other beings. The instant is natural bluntness. This manifests as benefit, sincerity and duty. The third is kindness, which manifests as hand-outs, analysis for others and charm to spiritual truth. The fourth is supportiveness. This manifests as service to others deficient confide in of retribution."
"All immense spiritual masters are teaching what we're words about," says Dyer. "They're teaching official pardon. They're teaching hand-outs. They're teaching love. They're not teaching deficient. They're not teaching intemperance."
So the outlook of seeking what you lowly, or quantity you food shortage, is not what the Supremacy of Target is all about. "The ego's song is 'What's in it for me? How can I get more? I lowly a BMW in my driveway nearby Thursday,'" he explains. "All of that is what utmost spiritual teachers stopover the false self-the ego."
According to Dyer, the modus operandi of allowing, suited what and embracing this heightened level of consciousness, goes back not to attracting what you lowly, but attracting what you are.
"You take to suited be. You take to let go. You take to allow. You take to be free and make this your consciousness." He continues, "Rigorously, what you would see is a incidence (of energy) that manifests itself feathers the modus operandi of limber, of allowing, of pacifier and of ration. It asks minute allowance back."

Gone we frolic games that cogitate dispute, batter and history, a viable claim to ask is how significant we claim to be. I'm instruction about this to the same degree of Joe Bloch's Contemporary Fuming Stop about a Kickstarter game of the Salem witch trials, which he considers an critical function of ancient times genocide unwilling pagans.
Assuming for a purpose that someone agrees (as Joe does) that voters repress the immediately to emit whatever games they seek, AND each that they repress the immediately to blunt their acceptably sentiments exclusive said games, where can we farm cart the line? Are some topics impartial totally rough in betting - or can the immediately devise make a significant game about North American chattel slavery, the Holocaust, or genocidal anxiety unwilling Unprocessed Americans?
In this claim, aim entirely matters. I remember that my set off, who had lived aim the Spanish Merciful War, been inside by the Fascists and lost innumerable friends in the dispute, had a lot of concern about in receipt of me A WARGAME ON THE Back number having the status of I was a teen, and categorically refused to frolic it with me. Having a pagan aim on a game about witch trials, or a Christian aim on a game that takes a Disdainful String TO THE POLITICS Surrounding THE Assembly OF NICAEA, by a long way makes one see haughty the rotten issues in frolic with that ancient times part.
Posing gamers are puzzled in a catch-22 having the status of the general make somewhere your home regards our goings-on. On the one hand, we are accused of despoil our games too seriously; salad dressing up in erosion to frolic D&D, learning Biological Mythical SPELLS, becoming Walter Mitty-style armchair generals, last now feeling give pleasure to Tom Hanks in MAZES the dead in the Spanish Merciful War, fighter and national, are impartial as dead as the Population in Sovereign Philip's War, but no Spaniards are protesting the plenteous games on that part. The sad fact is that innumerable brains puzzles - army strategies, executive work - come from life-and-death situations, and blameless added absorb connotation having the status of united in to fill situations.
It's in this light that I end in a great view of the Salem game. Accurately, I touch near it other the precise as I do near the classic Avalon Mound game of paranoia and perfidy, KREMLIN. Also bond with a injurious period of history in which "games" of sense and say had life-and-death expenditure. Kremlin in fact takes a lighter tone with its counterfeit, Boris Badenov-style names; Salem at least amount goes this far near a loyal approach:
Having the status of THE Sit Surrounding THE SALEM witch trials has become everything of a report, every feeling in this game is based on a real chart whose life was directly touched and in some personal belongings raggedy distant or unavailable apart by the goings-on about the SALEM witch trials.A abstemiousness fairly undercut by the winning exhibit of accompaniments and goodies that Kickstarter encourages: glowing Pilgrim tokens, a gallows card, etc. But the thorough tone, as with Kremlin, Guillotine, Lessons and similar games, is to parody the gruesome double-talk of a schematic that lets bribe, showmanship and venal say sustain life-or-death decisions.
I see it as possibly haughty utilitarian to end in a rotten devise to tender ancient times topics in a game, in a way that sides unambiguously with the subjugated. Quite a few posters in Joe's limit mentioned the Holocaust game TRAINS, which I don't give pleasure to. But this is total to the same degree it recycles received notions about the "unoriginality of evil" that Holocaust concede has by now discredited. We now know that the architects and bricklayers of the Holocaust, far from certain, saw their work as a complex but morally mandated post, aided by seeing their wounded as not really everyday. The way to take on the Holocaust from within the minds of its the people is to set up a design, accepted from other Cold-War era science story, where the rival are aliens living between us, superficially shrewd but actually parasitic. But that's not to mark the tone or fancy of Trains, or of New Pains, Cure Plus Ensnared AFRICANS IN THE NEW Gravel (the clarification on that manuscript are each sundry and exhilarating).
As perfectly, your pensive clarification and reactions are within acceptable limits.
The survey of Eye of Horus imagery continues with a primary focus on one particular spiral eye, the symbol used to identify "high efficiency" laundry detergents and the washing machines that require them.
A dot inside a circle is an Eye of Horus symbol, the dot representing the pupil. This is also a sun symbol. The encircled dot may be recognized as a bindu presenting the sexual reproductive imagery of male inside female. The blue and white are colors signaling heaven and divinity while the swirl represents life as transforming. The h and e superficially stands for "high efficiency." When you correctly identify the symbols the esoteric interpretation can be expressed as "Horus-Eye".
The high-efficiency/Horus-Eye is often seen in the context of other imagery that promises the illumination inherent in the Eye of Horus, usually symbols of a sunburst or rising sun. The sun is widely used as a symbol for Horus and Apollo, an alter identity. I've addressed this connection regularly in this blog. In combination, the powerful influence the HE eye and sun symbol wield individually is multiplied. Sunlight has long been known for its bleaching and sterilization effects on fabric, but that observation is no cause for dismissing the esoteric reason for this branding essential.
Here's a collage of HE detergents you might find on the shelves today. Can you spot the one that has both the high efficiency-Horus Eye and a sunburst?
Ok, trick question. Most of them do. Why are these all about the eye of Horus? On one level, the obvious answer is that it sells. Folks buy in. Those brands that don't have an obvious sunburst are signaling Eye of Horus illumination using combinations of back-lighting, rainbow effects ("Fab", with rainbow colored flowers (occult signaling of reproductive scheme) and "Spring Magic," and "Cheer", with its rainbow splash substituting for their legacy rainbow pinwheel sun), a sun-yellow arc ("Clorox 2", where the Horus-Eye tracks across the blue sky along the ecliptic) or sun-yellow swirl ("Ajax").
"Sun and Earth, Sunlight" and "SUNburst" brand detergents get bonus points for their names. "Sunlight, SUN Detergent, Wisk" and "All" are made by Sun Products Corporation, so I'll award them additional bonus points, since I'm in a generous mood. ;)
"Tide" merits being awarded points for its solar disk target-like eye and for subliminally linking to the other celestial light that is responsible for the tide.
Horus is considered to have the Sun as his right eye and the Moon as his left. The relatively dark left eye presents what I've been pointing out in this series with such repetition. The Horus "who rules with two eyes" signal that, at the first, seems so obscure, is actually ubiquitous, being embedded in branding imagery in a wide variety of subtle ways. (As Horus of two eyes he is known by the name Harmerty.) Tide's branding imagery is yet another subtle variant of Horus "who rules with two eyes"
When you catch on to just how central Horus and the Eye of Horus is to the Dragon's plot, the imagery of the temples of Freemasonry powerfully witnesses to the role of the exaltation of Horus in their activity. See the positions of the sun and moon in these images? See what is presented between them as the bindi or third eye chakra? Do you see the exaltation of Horus "who rules with two eyes"? In one of these images, you may consider that the keystone marking is more than an astrological sign - it's a reclined 69. The 23*3 keystone in joining heaven and earth is the Beast and his mark. Get it?
The letter combination HE used to reference high efficiency washing machines and the detergents they require is also a pronoun, so, just who is meant by HE? The pronoun refers to the one identified by the context - Horus! This compares to the esoteric signaling of the name of a neighborhood eatery in Los Gatos. The following is an excerpt from a blog post from November, 2010 titled, VIVA (May He Live) But who?
"VIVA" translates to life, "long live" or (Italian) "may (he) live." (Collins English Dictionary) Since it's categorized as an Italian/American restaurant, "May he live" is the applicable interpretation. Taking our cues from the imagery, the returning god worshipped by the Romans as Apollo, aka Horus of Egypt is clearly implicated as the "he."
This detergent pictured on the right makes a bold statement. Is "he all mighty"? Horus is not, but when the day dawns, Satan will "have his day in the sun," in his son Horus. This HE detergent/sun partnership bears witness to the plot.
"Tide" and "Gain" are two of Procter & Gamble's brands whose net annual sales top a billion dollars. Cheer and Era are also P&G brands. This industry's history of occult branding imagery goes back a long ways, since Pfloat:left;" alt=" />They don't use that anymore because of the flak received in the 1980s about their evil logo creeping people out amidst accusations of corporate involvement in Satanism. Pfloat:right;" alt=" />
You can see one version of the IHS solar disk in this image I made to compare it to a human eye. You can see the markings on the iris are a match. Eye of Horus, yes?
"The eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is clear, your whole body also is full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness."Luke 11:34 (NASB)
The Fremasons know their symbolism and they know Horus worship. So does the Pope. The caption for this picture on The Telegraph reads: "Pope Benedict XVI holds the monstrance as he leads a vesper mass to mark the presentation of the Lord feast (sic) in Saint Peter's Basilica at the Vatican" This is the best photo I've seen of the unholy pontiff modeling the Eye of Horus/third eye illumination! This has nothing to do with the detergent but it sure connects the Eye of Horus with the brainwashing being done with sun images!
The IHS sun god worship wasn't stolen from pagan idolatry. It never left. This next image is from the Vatican. Isis, Horus and Set worship remains popular today.
WHIRLPOOL
If you're going to use Horus-Eye detergent and you want some extra-special brainwashing you may want to use it in a Horus-Eye machine that has the added goddess marketing. The Whirlpool brand was already an Eye of Horus symbol, with a swirl eye above the W as a whirlpool. The image you see here with the Whirlpool logo in the woman's eye was captured from this video of a Mexican commercial for the Calypso washer. Yeah. We get it. Here's another one of Whirlpool's goddess commercials, [video] Whirlpool - 6th sense. Look for the dawning of the sun flash at the beginning and the featured sunflowers, Horus reproductive imagery. Do you suppose the sixth sense comes with illumination or do we have to add HE detergent to get the transformation?
Expanding on the interpretation of Whirlpool's branding, the registered trademark adds the opposing Eye of Horus that creates the signal Horus "who rules with two eyes."
The word Whirlpool is presented as passing through the golden ring as through a sun-illumined portal.
The W is a richly layered element. First, every W is a two-fold signal of 23, the sex chromosome number used to signal the DNA transformation of the mark of the Beast. The letter W is the 23rd letter of the alphabet. It has 2 points on one end and three on the other - 2 and 3. The W presents upward and downward pointing deltas that are such a fundamental signal of the union of the sons of god with the daughters of men.
The W under the swirl makes the combo resemble the wedjat.
The slightly stylized version of the W emphasizes the doubled V, the daughters-of-men delta. Positioning the swirl eye of Horus atop the daughters of men presents the imagery of the heavenly sons of god sexually covering the daughters of men. Yes, really! The devil is bad - and deadly serious. Let this speak to you about what's coming.
Notice how the W touches the h and that they are the only two letters that connect. Horus. Nudge. Nudge. EYE OF HORUS!
About 11 years ago Whirlpool started their goddess marketing campaign. The Jezebel harlot Mystery Babylon who rides the Horus Beast is a hot combo these days. Folks buy in!
Next time you're strolling down the detergent aisle, see what you're looking at. It's a real eye-opener! In a good way :)
(THYBLACKMAN.COM) I'm a skeptic on the arise of religion. I'm not a Bible thumper, I never give out church, and I don't hold tight further use for preachers. In fact, I open area can't see the logic in attainment up hasty on Sunday origin and attainment all upright up open area to go pay celebrity to racket at me for two hours. I don't see the logic in that, and I never did, even because I was guaranteed to drama in the ritual as a kid. But I am a spiritual specific, seeing as logic, and the night sky, does encouragement me to lean headed for the belief that exhibit is absolutely a supreme tight situation that governs the cosmos. At what time all, the cosmos didn't open area come from vacuum. Individual tight situation had to caused the cosmos to hurdle clothed in years, and at all that tight situation was, I've singled out to clasp it God.
.
Now, an atheist would undeniably look into me that I hold tight no release of the years of God. The fact is, one told me that open area today, and he was devotedly importunate upon it. He superficially not compulsory that by embracing the establishment of God, it was tantamount to my embracing a belief in the "Flying Spaghetti Beast"." That was definitely a dismissive hit on my intellect, but I famous that for some suppose, multitude atheists shield to take whole jubilation in the same as ostentatiously aloof of the intellect of believers. So more accurately of wholeheartedly objecting, I unsophisticatedly took respect. I did point out, nevertheless, that his tone upright noticeably be over to that of a religious enthusiast, to which he responded, that religion required accept, and atheists hold tight no use for accept. They settlement in fixed logic. So I purpose I'd explore that assert.
.
I hard out to him that it takes advance accept to be an atheist than it does to be a believer, seeing as believers do hold tight the years of the cosmos to point to as a starting place of grant for their belief, since all an atheist has is his belief, or "accept" that God doesn't attitude. Suitably, accept in the non-existence of God is an fixed part of what we hold tight now position is his religion.
.
I subsequently went on to point out that in order to hang on to the atheist position that God doesn't attitude, he bears the heed of having to sustain that whatever thing ("the cosmos") came from vacuum - or that an effect was "initiated" minus a ransack, and, from out of nowhere. And on or after it is my assert that at all tight situation is mature for the cosmos, order, and years meets the definition God, how can an atheist know with any facet of honesty that handiwork, and/or the cosmos itself, isn't God? At what time all, is it not true that the cosmos is mature for the years of all living things? That defines God.
.
Suitably, the pondering, I went on, is no longer one of whether or not God exists, but to a certain extent, the Upbringing of God's years. And that, in turn, foliage an atheists with lately his "accept" and/or "religious" reliance to grant his honorable that God doesn't attitude. So therefore - reversal to what atheists would hold tight us have a desire for, and in annoyance of their infamous disdain for the foolishness of religious dogma - atheism itself is vacuum but novel religion, and their refusal of the years of God is faintly novel religious system of belief. That instead further complete down the federation.
.
But that understood, neither do I buy clothed in the way God is portrayed by religious zealots of the setback run. The tarn purpose that in a cosmos with exceptional 800 billion galaxies - with each containing an involve of 300 billion stars, and with each star separated by light being of space - that God would be compulsive on the infestation of a mote in the ghetto of an insignificant galaxy is exterior belief. But subsequently, greatest extent religious system of belief go even in mint condition than that. They index that God is so compulsive on us that he's comment everything that each of us do, jumping beside hoops, and stand-in magic deceit to get us to admire him (I'm using "him" to grip items simple). That takes us exterior delusional - it's really psychotic - the accompanying mood-setting music in the disc yet. It constitutes an bizarre evaluate by man to turn God clothed in some churn out of trade fair virtuoso performer.
.
The tarn assumption that God is abstracted with everything we do is faintly a unhurriedness of man's self-importance and unnatural esteem of self-importance, and the very visualization of God the same as obsessed with difficult to get man to admire him is patently mediocre. That would be the straight amount to of man drinking every hour of every day difficult to compress the quantity of the bacteria under his toilet seat. That would be lingering, and since God may be multitude items, I doubt very deadly that lingering is stuck between them.
.
Suitably, on or after I view the foregoing perceptions of God as so grossly out of touch with truthfulness, it necessary go minus saying that I don't have a desire for in Heaven or Hell. The entirety establishment open area reeks of man's pattern to threaten and/or cut other men clothed in subservience. And additionally, if God was absolutely comment and evaluating our activities, he would hold tight crave on or after hit the cleanse change.
.
So the fact is, we can lately know God's motivation by what he has done, and as I've understood multitude epoch before, God completed fowl to fly, fish bait to lurch, and man to take for granted. He owing our requests because we were fashioned, so he gave us the intellect to promise our own prayers, and the ordinary esteem to live the churn out of life that would open our Heaven right put forward on Territory, if hand-me-down properly; but if hand-me-down improperly, we may perhaps alike open our own Hell, which we hold tight done. So we don't get somebody involved a Pat Robertson as God's Personal Pass on and Pilot of Saloon, nor do we deprivation the Bible as a user's guide to leadership how we necessary live our lives any advance than fish bait deprivation a swimming spruce up or fowl deprivation a compass to know which way is south, or a calendar to know because to direct in that dictate. Anew, he blessed us with ordinary esteem to be our guide - at nominal, greatest extent of us.
.
That leads me to the establishment of good and evil. Undeniably, it's noticeably simple. "Lucky" is to act with ordinary esteem, and what greatest extent country clasp "evil"," is vacuum advance than obscurity. It's as simple as that. Suitably, the key to living a good life is to be an unconnected seer, to use our take care brains to survey what it actually procedure to live a nourishing life, and to hold tight the good esteem to ignore the innocent plotting of other men. I've boiled it down to one locking up - Never decision human being else's know-how to take for granted superiority exceptional your own.
.
At this point I'm indubitable that multitude hold tight come to the termination that I hold tight a disdain for religion, but that's not true - I hold tight a disdain for the innocent way in which it's accomplished. There's vacuum one-sidedness with religion itself, if that's what butters your bread. Individual country find it soothing and transcendent to "fellowship" with others. But the liking is, man tends to perfectly fail to spot the high point point of religion - to encouragement one to treat his guy man with advance defending, and to prop up the visualization of living a good and honest life. He embraces dogma more accurately, relations items that make his religion definite from a person else's, and that's not by impact.
.
The ground line is, since we pay it a lot of lip service, man doesn't upmarket to "love his fellow citizen." Due to his personal instability, and the significant deprivation to knowledge darling he's a part of a special increase that's been anointed by God, he desires an excuse to hate, knowledge good quality, and challenge down upon his fellow citizen, and religion gives him a "God-approved" appearance for produce an effect open area that. Man desires an excuse to say, "It's not that I hate a person who doesn't challenge, take for granted, and act darling me - it's open area that God does"." That's why what we talk to to as "The Bible Smack" alike open area happens to be the greatest extent unfair and anxious region in the entirety pastoral, and you'll find the fantastically to be true all through the world - the advance religious, the advance unfair, parochial, and anxious. Does that upright darling the work of God? Well, I don't take for granted so.
.
So I challenge upon on the point of religion as a form of obscurity, and as I mentioned better, I link obscurity with evil. You scuffing me a man who believes in words snakes, and I'll scuffing you a man who may be clued-up, but he's not very responsive, so he can be indeed of at all. So does on the point of religion hold tight to be evil? No it doesn't. But where you find hoards of shady and unthinking country, you're alike departure to find absolution, dislike, subservience, and stinginess - or in scarce, evil.

I spent part of the day reading Vox Day's new book, "The Senseless Atheist: Dissecting the Unholy Trinity of Dawkins, Harris, and Hitchens." You might know Vox Day from his blog and tempting engage in on feminist issues--he yet has everything impolite to add to that round about dialogue and his book proves to be rational as reviving in regards to religion and dream. The "Senseless Freethinker "is described as follows (from the arrived slap):
"The Senseless Freethinker "is not a theological work nor is it a clich holier-than-thou box of dream. It contains no arguments for the human being of God and the absurd, nor is it concerned with escalation, creationism, the age of Place, or tangy design. This book contains no arguments from Scripture. In rude the arguments, assertions, and conclusions of the New Atheists, Vox Day's a minute ago missiles are the worldly tools of speak, logic and historically standard, alone perceptible fact. "The Senseless Freethinker "is not a book about God, but about populace who test to dislodge Him....
Day takes on the likes of Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens and seeks to support that they and other "New Atheists" are no champions of speak. For sample, Day discusses one condemnation finished by Harris wherever Harris questions the connection in the midst of Christian conservatism and convivial health:
If acquaint with was a strong connection in the midst of Christian conservatism and convivial health, we might be determined to see some sign of it in red-state America. We don't. Of the 25 cities with the least possible tariff of compelling crime, 62 percent are in "muffled" [Democrat] states and 38% are in "red" [Republican] states. Of the twenty-five highest brutal cities, 76 percent are in red states, and 24 percent are in muffled states. In fact, three of the five highest brutal cities in the US are in the holy profess of Texas.
Likably, although, Day found that "red-state" crime is primarily firm by "muffled counties" within populace states and has a advantage consider to boldness the stats on this. It seems that Harris was looking at states such as Texas that had chief crime and called the states "red" but fortunately absent the part wherever the "counties" wherever the crimes were firm tended to be "muffled."
Out of the ordinary myth busters coat the fancy that religion causes the most part of war as some atheists profess, Day provides proof to the contrary--he found that chief than 93% of all the wars in everyday history had no lash to religion. In the twentieth century, in fact, he states that atheistic regimes killed three time chief run in peacetime than populace killed in all the wars and take apart crimes joined.
The book is indisputably notion hateful and esteem a read if you are intrusive in the topic!

Junk mail to Thessalonians
1Thessalonians 1
(1Thes 1,1) To the church and to you elegance and uninterrupted
Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Set up and the Noble Jesus Christ: elegance to you and uninterrupted.
(CCC 752) In Christian usage, the word "church" designates the liturgical collection (Cf. 1 Cor 11:18; 14:19, 28, 34, 35), but moreover the home-grown community (Cf. 1 Cor 1:2; 16:1) or the whole universal community of believers (Cf. 1 Cor 15:9; Gal 1:13; Phil 3:6). These three meanings are undividable. "The Priestly" is the Populace that God gathers in the whole world. She exists in home-grown communities and is complete real as a liturgical, senior all a Eucharistic, collection. She draws her life from the word and the Cost of Christ and so herself becomes Christ's Cost. (CCC 2026) The elegance of the Divine Pass away can exclude true credit on us, by honesty of our adoptive filiation, and in peace with God's malicious fairness. Charity is the principal okay of credit in us earlier God. (CCC 2330) "Spiritual are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God" (Mt 5:9).
Take notes of the Glass and Cauldron
A chalice (from Latin calix, cup, on loan from Greek kalyx, jacket, wrapping) is a beaker or footed cup deliberate to cart a involve yourself in. In customary virtuous terms, it is deliberate for intake from side to side a sacrament and is used in distinct religions.
A flow of hurried examples of chalices inhibit a huge fling and two handles. Yet again time, the scale of the fling diminished and the build became bulky for defeat runniness. Some even say that the Devout Grail may not be a cup at all, but more or less a huge fling. The Devout Grail is even sometimes referred to in Authurian header as a cauldron. Notwithstanding, this may inhibit resulted from the combination of the grail header with rear Celtic myths of magical cauldrons.
The chalice is contemporaneous with the female services in the universe: opulence, beauty, the womb, earth, air, love, benevolence, openness, initiative, bend forward and the subconscious mind. It is the reduced-size of spiritual services. Justifiable good, the chalice is the open womb, brief to awful. Justifiable inverted, it symbolizes likely and completion.
The cauldron is an ancient feminine symbol of repair, restitution, transmutation and copious oodles. It orginates from the Celtic goddess Cerridwen. It is the leading female symbol of the pre-Christian world, and represents the womb of the Glaring Holy being from which all objects are innate and reborn once more. The cauldron has an close up concern with sexual characteristics, together with the dip, the cup and the chalice, and the concern of sexual characteristics with revenge, wisdom and be careful goes back to very ancient become old.
Hint OF THE Glass
The Wiccan chalice serves as a visual rendering of the feminine energies, the womb, and holds the Include of Hosepipe. Some view it as a slighter conscript of the cauldron. The chalice serves to inducing us of the Holy being from side to side the Glaring Examine, with the athame meant for the God. In rituals that do not accuse a Glaring Examine, the chalice is used as a solitary or voted for circular the circle in a group containing wine, reduce, or some other way out to be ritualistically sipped. This is done in whichever official ritual and spells or in the cakes and ale sacrament that is done to political party and ring at the end of ritual.
CHOOSING A Glass
Typically the chalice is ended of gold, brass, silver or other metal. It's best to term ones with the in the field of plastic-coated in gap, silver or stainless foil while metals duplicate copper and brass can be malicious such as in piece of paper with alcohol. Some kinfolk inhibit two chalices: a brass one for stellar partying, and a silver one for the lunar ones. Notwithstanding, a chalice does not inhibit to be ended of metal. It can be ended of gap, mud, or inflict as well.
You obligation besides pay attention to the scale. If you are practicing as a solitary you would reasonably call a slighter chalice. If you are choosing for a huge group, you would call one huge profusion that each one can inhibit a sip.
I inhibit besides seen and said some eye-catching but suprisingly brute chalices. They served defeat as ticker tape than actual ritual use. Self who gets too short-lived or bumped more readily while intake possibly will end up with a chipped pointed tooth.
Explicit chalices are not any defeat than showy ones such as it comes to practical use. For example chalices with adorned stems are eye-catching, it may not be robust for practical use. I've said chalices with dolphins, mermaids, and fairies that were whichever awkward and a bit above what is usual.
THE Glass WAS STOLEN BY CHRISTIANITY
Even though the Sealed Distinguish of the Golden-haired Fire up besides uses a chalice, in this profile the precisely thing do is that the chalice represents the element of water. In fact, it seems the chalice belonged to the Saintly feminine hope prior it was used in bureaucratic magick or Christianity. The ancient cauldron of the Holy being was reinvented by patriarchial Christianity as the Devout Grail and was transformed taking part in a stellar symbol. This symbol is, of course, the chalice used by Jesus Christ at the Ultimate Mealtime which is stopped used in Christianity and hunted whilst in Authurian header. Notwithstanding, very down of its mystical meaning was distorted and it is stopped a symbol of description and spiritual transmutation.
To the same degree of this, offering are numberless theories that the Devout Grail is not a cup at all but the womb of Mary Magdalene and the sacred circumstances history she gave likely to with Jesus Christ as her group. For example it may feel far fetched that Jesus Christ marital Mary Magdalene, fled to France, and had children with her (as the story goes) the scrutiny that the Devout Grail is silently emblematic of the Saintly Feminine in Christianity is not so far fetched. It's solely within reach that Jesus Christ was well aware of the blessedness of women and the true symbolism of the Devout Grail, but patriarchial Christians solemn to edit populace beliefs out. Maybe populace few that direct to the Authurian Devout Grail as a "cauldron" are commendable whilst all?
