XVI THE TOWER

I have two large rats in the attic above the kitchen/bathroom extension. I saw them today with a torch. I had the torch, not the rats obviously. Put poison down. 

There’s rat poop all over so I’ve got to go up into the attic and detox it asap. My list of jobs is endless and it’s getting worse. The rats get in because there is trash up to the back door I have not had time/energy/focus combined with good weather, to sort it out yet. 

These two tasks should take a couple of days. 

I’m blaming their toxic energy  vibration for the water heater breaking down. 

Compare the symbols: 

My sons mother is Chinese Year of Rat it’s her spirit animal. 

-water leak from her bathroom in the ceiling above her kitchen

-water heater in room between my bathroom and kitchen

-rats in the attic

It’s all the same symbols 

Like a tarot card 

The Tower card 

All these events occurred at the same time. My s on a girlfriend observed water dripping from his mothers kitchen lightbulb. His mothers boyfriend took it upon himself to fix the plumbing in the bathroom above instead of contacting the landlord. When I next saw it five days later the entire ceiling had ‘collapsed’ and was all over the kitchen although the upstairs floorboards had been replaced. At that time I suggested they contact the landlord… 

There’s more to this…

The same day my son came to stay at mine for extra days because his mothers house is properly ratastrophic, he told me about a video game he had been playing. 

Visual imagery to follow 

At the same time this was happening, my gelflings kids are playing ‘Dobble’ (a picture version of the card game ‘Snap’). 

It’s all connected.

This entire thing is about: 

Foundations 

There is an unfortunate competitive element necessary to create dynamism through drama 

False or unstable foundations, destined to fall. 

When red and blue are not in harmony, they self-destruct.

It’s about energy. 

Syncopatic energy. 

Electric and Water both measured the same way. 

Volume & Tempo

Amps and Volts

Volume and Speed

Current (the flow) and Ohms (the restriction)

This is how humans measure energy. 

How does this apply to Reiki and such, to the energy vortexes we exist within, which form our experiences? 

Why do we describe restriction as Ohms when the word is ancient (Aum, Amen, Ogham) describing the 13cps cosmic harmony ?

MajorArcana

Cards positioned to explore relationships between those next to each other and also between the vertical rows. For example Hierophant relates to Temperance between Death (rebirth) and the Devil (temptation), on the shadow or second row, while it relates to Temperance between the Lovers/Chariot rushing in vs the seated figures of Empress and Emperor, on the top row. 

A crux for this way of thinking about relationships between Tarot cards is that the Axle upon which the Wheel of Fortune rotates is the Hermits Staff, in this case his Lantern represents the Wheel. Below that you have Star Moon and Sun. What this means shifts gear depending whether you have Justice or Strength for 8 and 11, either side of it. 

8 and 11 Cards have been re-numbered and repositioned by Rider-Waite. I believe they did this to cause us to analyse the Tarot as a system of cycles. 

Hermits Staff and Hanged Man form two pillars either side of, either Strength or Justice. What follows is the Balance (Temperance) and the 'light at the end of the tunnel' reflection of his lantern / Star Moon Sun.

With Hanged Man being the level of self-honesty (integrity) to navigate (justice) or create (strength) through the challenge ahead (death, temperance, devil, tower) to see which light guides it (star moon sun).

See also the 'mobs loop' infinity symbol (sideways figure of 8) above the Magicians head, rotates around the two pillars in the High Priestess card next to it. This is reaffirmed by his candle burning at both ends. Those same pillars are on the Hierophant, as towers on the Moon, and the two sphinxes are that energy in motion on the Chariot. 

There is a lot more to the Major Arcana when you start to decode it in this way. Its order follows what is a  actually quite a simple story told in stages of family relationships developing over generations. It explores consequences for decisions. 

The Light, of course, is Love. 

But not always...

illuminatii symbolism in the movies

This blog continues from Stylism & Movies which is about Brutalist architecture with a footnote on masonic chess and media control. 

Is the obvious continuity of theme purposeful or does it happen incidentally and coincidentally or because visual descriptors occur naturally when invoking Assyrian/Babylonian/Egyptian/Mayan/Masonic ritual magick? 

In either case a direct line continuity is occurring. Use of repeat themes are evident, as is use of repeat actors & directors (Kyle MacLachlan, David Lynch).

specific finger positions

In STarGate we do not have a simple hand-in-globe interface, we have a more versatile Dial-Home Device. NB lunar crescent, symbolic of suit of Cups in Tarot associates with Water. NB blue mosaic and gold/red/yellow.

NB mystic key symbol for 'turning' held by priest

hierarchy tiers & triangle motif in red & green

stepped triangle & solar motif in red & green. NB mosaic & gold/red/yellow.

Rachel Ticotin as Melina in Total Recall 1990. In Hermetic symbolism, red/yellow/gold and triangle are associated with fire and action and the suit of Wands in the Tarot, signifying creation and alchemy.

also by Lynch, blue moon, triangle

Tony Bennet NOT the version featured in the movie, however the website it is advertised on has THE SAME SYMBOL

Jodorowsky style fan art of Lynch's Dune depicting St Alia of the Knife as the triangle within which blue moons, eyes of Idab, sand and dragon-fire. Compare with the Blue Velvet poster

double pillar / earth-serpent motif, solar heart (microphone and shadow, black & white, 4 cardinal points), triangle above

The analogy we draw here is that Isabella Rossellini who plays the character singer Dorothy Vallens who gets stabbed (compare: ST Alia of the knife) is the same archetype as symbolized in Dune as Jessica Atreides. Both of these images are variants of the High Priestess Tarot card. Note the symbolism of Blue and Red and the symbolism of Black and White (pillars and chess board).

Francesca Anis as Jessica Atredies between two pillars before stepped triangle and 'discreet cartouche' (lunar?) motif. NB serpent sinewaves

Ruling Planet: Moon. Hebrew: Gimel. Crystal: Aquamarine. Balance, Intuition, Secret Knowledge. Wise Woman, Truth seeker, gatekeeper. Unveiling, Change, feminine energies (Yin).

Here we see also the Ring interface (blue) and the movie features an important red ball. Alchemically the colour/shape symbols have been reversed, as befits a post-millennial continuum of this flow.

tarot of gothic anima

I was amazed to find this picture, by random coincidence because if you look at the next picture, previously uploaded, its like the next card from a tarot series, the images relate. This would be 4 or 5 of Crows, the next one is 5 or 6 of cats... and they both wear the same top hat, and the story they tell together... uncanny first published on facebook 1.2.2012

lol gothic voodoo, i didnt make this - but im making the hat as we speak :) apart from dying it black, and adding rishi beads and bindu rings and a scarf thing, I has finished making the hat :) i made a video because my camera doesnt work, the dang thing wont upload :( its not that good I need to hide it with black dye https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=314861431884036#!/video/video.php?v=314861431884036 voodoo goth hat (undyed) work in progress based on; http://pu-sama.deviantart.com/art/Voodoo-Nights-21750169 the story continues... Dylon velvet black (shouldn't all black be velvet?) instructions, add 250g (5 tbsp) salt. Okay so far, except for when I weigh the salt, I have a pile the size of a pumpkin measuring 250g which is a LOT more than 5tbsp. Anybody with expert advice please? my mam is a retired fashion lecturer, she told me; "you cannot use too much salt in dye" so, a whole pot 350grams it is then, apology to limited planetary resources but as the man says in Sparklehorse album Good Morning Spider; "You are worth hundreds of sparrows" I guess that binding the powa of raw natural minerals into my voodoo hat is worth it. *busy grinding pessle&mortar rock salt into dust* - and catching the remains of the Protection elements involved in Rowans Road Opener Powder (equal parts allspice clove bay cinnamon) in it from my last use of the grinder... Leanne "Watt What is this ?" Joy Freeman "it is what it is" Leanne Watt "ok." this is a tarot, the card 5 of Cats and 6 of Cats; the difference between the mourning loss of the past that is 5 cards, turns into the Gain of position and wealth, that is 6 cards. The key, is that the querent, here represented by the guy in the hat, has accepted Self ; the transition. So you can see why there are death & rebirth symbols in these cards. Cats of course, are what cats are. I was taught by an arabic tarot scholar how to read the cards; the skull placed around the guys crotch and the cats, symbolize sexual death the green candles and the soul-fire in confusion/mesme of the cats eyes, Life in transition, the heart shifting. The twin rings, the twin candles in pairs, its about relationships, the twin pins beneath a single dream-feather of law (maat) is the outcome, if he follows his dream. 2 of the cats face the viewer, so they are Balance and they draw you in. Feline energies here. There is a host more information... All the imagery spirals around and centers on his Heart. Thats what is missing. He looks at the black death feather not the gold dream feather. The decision he is to make changes the world for him. He reconnects and then he becomes the Light. The 5 of flames is the 6 of flames if you include the gold feather as the 6th; the dream of the heart. It is a very empowering card. Good cartouche are easy to read because the symbolism backs itself up on several layers, and once you know the key, all of the symbols verify that. (ok so maybe the cats souls are flames too, the story here hides several cards, all wrapped up in the context of the Hope of the moment, found from following the dream of Renewal) He is connecting or reconnecting to his emotions, soul-searching, getting over Loss, currently he is dwelling in misery but that will pass and he will be stronger for it. When he shuts his umbrella, black with gold handle; he will have a handle on it and the storm-in-his-being will pass. I am using the cats to understand the rest of this sequence; many pairs and it is therefore about relationships, this card is crucial, the nexus between 5 and 6 in a ten card suit is important. Whatever he decides here, will be the path of transition from sorrow to abundance (5 to 6). He gets over himself, it is ego death. Relationships, therefore he gets over his ex partner. Cats, it was a sexy relationship but he reconnects to this and becomes again a sexual being, mastering the power that is currently dead (skull in his hand). 4 of Candles (cats fire); represents the brightness of the world (4 cardinal directions) but notice how all these cats have come in and split the world into 2, which is dualistic; 2 cats eyes going up, 2 cats eyes coming down. It means both he and his ex have split, it means also about Balance being an issue here. The 3 card of the suit of cats is the trinity which means stability; cats looking away from us, seeing the back of them - so we can be sure that his stable relationship is gone for good. 2 card, is the 2 cats looking toward us, both of which are mesmerizing with their spiraling eyes, he and his ex were hypnotized by each other, she had a big impact on him obviously. 1 card, himself, the Fool, the Ace. Where he goes from here toward abundance and beyond, the 7, 8, 9, 10 series... ? it is left entirely in the dark with the Hope of Dream, and a pack of cats, to guide him. All of that is contained in the green; there is a window behind him, leading out of this gloom. It is come at a very appropriate time in my life because it describes my life at present time. He is threadbare but dignified, I like that. First published on facebook 26.1.2012
