Damn slippy fingers and the damn cat. As I was leaning over the laptop which just happened to have clarity online casting page up, my finger slipped on the 'Consult' button.

This is even worse that casting without question. Now I'm worried it's a sign, but for what?

The hex was 28.2.3.5. > 16

Also, today had a nested deja vus. It's one of those things that portends something massive is about to happen to you. *braced*

It's Halloween. Knock on wood (28) and go out with friends (16) -- or go party somewhere if it's not too late. And shame on you for blaming the cat, the scholar's best friend. Boo!

haha, I've been out and scared some children and feasted with friends :) And the cat is too blame because it wanted petting which is why I stretched over the laptop ..

Thanks though, as always :hug:

Weird.

Just did another 'taking my spiritual temperature' cast and got again 28.2.3.5

And I have had it before when doing the same sort of thing.

I don't actually know what it means. How does one interpret all the husband wife in a wider context?

Cats mean SEX and WISDOM:

Les amoureux fervents et les savants austères
Aiment également, dans leur mûre saison,
Les chats puissants et doux, orgueil de la maison,
Qui comme eux sont frileux et comme eux sédentaires.
Ch. Baudelaire

[literal translation:]
Fervent lovers and austere scholars
Love equally, in their ripe season,
Powerful and gentle cats, the pride of the house,
Who like them are sensitive to cold and like them sedentary.

Hi, Grace:

Even cats can fall in love.

el-gato-manchado-fin-de-la-primavera.jpg


El Gato se rió y como pudo se escondió entre las matas de algodón que crecian por ahí. Otra vez estaba alegre. ... recordando al diálogo con la Golondrina, su melodiosa voz volvia a resonar en sus oidos. Ella no podia conversar con los Gatos, los Gatos son malos; algunos fueron atrapados in fragantti almorzando Golondrinas, habia cierta verdad en éso. ¿Cómo era posible ser asi tan malo? ¿Cómo almorzarse un ser tan frágil y tan hermoso como la Golondrina Sinhá?

Jorge Amado: El Gato Manchado y la Golondrina Sinha.

A beautiful and sad love story between a swallow and a cat by the famous brazilian writer Jorge amado.


[By Google...] The cat laughed as he could and hid in the cotton bushes that were growing there. Another time he was happy. ... remembering the dialogue with the Swallow, his melodious voice was again echoing in their ears. She could not talk with cats, cats are bad, some were caught in fragantti lunching Swallows, there was some truth in that. How could be possible to be so bad? How do lunch one so fragile and so beautiful being as the Swallow Sinhá?

the book was translated to english as the Swallow and the Tom Cat. Can see an excerpt here...

In spite of what is said there, not for children, of course.


Yours,

Charly

hi Charly,

also take a look at this

Korean Magpie: Good News
Koreans believed that magpies delivered good news and invited good people. The most famous painting related to a magpie is the one with striped tiger (ggach'i wha horangi minhwa): the magpie is happily chirping to a tiger. The magpie represented good news and the tiger symbolized good luck, since its pronunciation in Chinese sounds similar to good luck (bok).

also very interesting imagery!

Very good, Dora:

The folk story for the chinese St. Valentin day brings the motif of the MAGPIE BRIDGE crossing the Heavenly River (the Milky Way) through which the lovers, the Weaving Girl and the Herdboy, can join once a year.

Of course, Magpies have much to do with love and joy.

... the Chinese regard the magpie as a good luck symbol, joy, marital bliss, sexual happiness, and long lasting fortune.

Hi, Dora:

It's said that the story of the HERDBOY and the WEAVING GIRL belongs to the times of Zhou dynasty. The LOVE STORY between a simple commoner, a plebeian boy and a noble girl of heavenly nature come from old. In chinese folklore immortal females having sex with men are usually of evil nature, even if being good mothers or worrying for the happiness of the lover.

The herdboy indeed accedes by tricks to marry the young heavenly girl, adviced by the COW (or the OX) wich is a wise and also magic animal.

Not strange that the BIRDS that provide the means for the annual union of the lovers were MAGPIES.

PEASANTS AND RATIONAL PEOPLE DON'T SEE MAGPIES WITH GOOD EYES. THEY ARE KNEW AS THIEFS, ROBBERS, SEED EATERS AND ALMOST A PEST!

Noisy birds, deprejudiced people that use to go in uneven mates (young ♂ and elder ♀ or vice versa). Not nobles at all. Magpies are the poor cusins of CROWS (THE SHANG totem). Maybe the magpies were considered declassed remnants of Shang people, not fond of current ruler neither of current customs.

They were almost bandits, always fond of jokes, sometimes bad jokes, prone to talk too much (remember the Terry's TALKING MAGPIES), to carry a worryless life, seen often like females. They were suppotive for LOVE AFFAIRS beyond reputability, beyond the morality of lovers' bonds in the context of current customs and prejudices.

Magpies are BIRDS of LOVE, when symbols or omens of HAPPINESS they are called, of course, 喜鵲 shi3 love, enjoy, joyful thing / que5 magpie, say, LOVE-BIRDS.

All the best,


Charly

love it!

The only associations to the bird I could bring up were about its tendency to gather shiny objects and how we often use it here to refer to an old woman. Both are rather derogatory as used which I thought was too partial. I personally find the bird quite striking visually, especially seen flying or landing on branches . .

Elster_wikipedia2.jpg


Then coming across the reference about asian magpies I was astounded by the positive meanings . . Wikipedia mentions how in Taiwan another name for them is 'long tailed mountain lady', which also sounds quite elegant & respectful . . Recently I've been gaining a very different view of animal symbolisms though and this also fits in somewhere there.

thanks for the link Bruce, some of them have really lovely plumage
(oh and nice picture btw ;) )



Charly, I've grown to really like the way you have of taking all meanings back to love (be it higher, lower or both :mischief: :p) . . Sometimes I wonder if it comes along with a more general thought of what is truly important in life, or just what is most often people's concern when they turn to divination . . or maybe both??
In any case, it was nice to read more of the herdsboy and the weaving girl story and magpies, I need to go find and re-read that one!


take care,


p.s.: oh, btw, my magpie omens turned out rather sweet actually, so they were a good sign. They are one kind of birds I see regularly on our way to work in places that draw my attention and very rarely I get a negative feeling seeing them so that solves it so far . .

Dear Dora:

Magpies are little birds that behave like ordinary people. Those who identify themselves with nobility and superior people or with short sighted economic values don't like magpies.

All slanderous messages, envy cannot be but ominous.

Ancient chinese noble and reputable families used to marry sons and daughters only for economical or dynastical reasons.

Peasants or commoners let the youngs mate for love. They liked women and children laughing and talking. Magpies for them were lucky omens.

MAGPIE .- Synonym of quackery and thievery, its meaning is that of envy, conceit, excitement and snobbery. In Western folklore, symbolism is always dark, and the manifestations of this bird are interpreted as ominous signs.

How unjust for a little lucky bird.

Of course, LOVE has the same invasive tendency than magpies. Love invades all. There are no places were Love cannot get in. Not that I have an obsessive tendency to see love everywhere.

But that I find love everywhere!

all the best,


Charly

huh...
I've always associated our (US) black & white magpies as aggressive and noisy consumers of road kill, a subspecies of the crow. However there are numerous geographic species. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magpie
Hi, Bruce:

NOISY is the word, magpies love to talk. Even more, they can learn to talk like parrots. That trait is seen as feminine, girls and women love to talk but not all the people like it.
