As sung by The Yetties

(And by me)

Way down on our farm we are right up to date, For mechanisation's the byword of late For every task, we've a gadget to match, But our new muck-spreader's the best of the batch Fling it here, Fling it there,

If you're standing by then you'll all get your share ...

In my post "The white blood of Jesus" (June 18) on my other blog, I explored the idea that the flesh and blood of Jesus is, at least at a symbolic level, identical with the fruit of the Tree of Life. I posted it there and not here because much of the reasoning was drawn from synchronicity and from Wendy Berg's book ...

I took this photo on June 15, seeing it as a continuation of the Vermeer Girl with a Pearl Earring theme. See "Girls with pearls, six-legged spider, Star of Chaos" (May 18) and "Vermeer and meerkats" (May 19).

Today's post "October 3 and 4, and white crows" led me back to "Finding Boster the Nose" (May 2025) because one of the Boster characters has a white crow as a pet. That post includes this map:

I find it highly entertaining that a certain advocacy movement currently brands itself as Pride, with no modifier. They're so proud they don't want to say what it is they're proud of. The pride that dare not speak its name. Quite the paradox.

It is well known that reading about synchronicities induces them. It is also well known that I already experience more than my share of them. Nevertheless, here I am reading Stories from the Messengers, Mike Clelland's second book about owls, UFOs, and sync.

Some of the stories Clelland relates come from an elderly ...

I dreamt that we were preparing for a ritual in which we would symbolically burn (in effigy) the person who had burned Abinadi. In the Book of Mormon, of course, that person was King Noah, or someone acting under Noah's direction, but we never said that name. Instead, "the person who had burned Abinadi" was someone ...

This afternoon, I bought a new pair of leather shoes and, while I was removing the branding from them with a craft knife, I was listening to an audio recording of the Doctrine and Covenants. When I'd finished, I put the shoes on for the first time -- and as it happened, this action synchronized perfectly with the ...

It's a great plan!

Let's spend ever more and yet more time/ energy/ resources on locating the sins of other-people, and then loudly and emphatically stating that these other-people were sinful!

It will make us all better people, and make this a better world - for sure.

Especially when these people lived ...

This morning I was in a cafe reading Stories from the Messengers, Mike Clelland's second book about owls, UFOs, and synchronicity. I read this:

A white owl glided gracefully into their headlight beams and flew right in front of their car, just a few feet off the road. They both got the sense that it was guiding them ...

Reading Laeth's latest aphorisms, he reminded me of a 2019 post from Wm Jas Tychonievich about whether or not the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith was, in principle, correct to posit an actual planet (assumed to be orbiting a star that Mormons term Kolob) as the place of God's (usual) residence; thus the physical, material ...

I have often heard it emphasised by Christians how remarkable, how shocking, it was that God was incarnated as a little baby, lived, suffered and died an ignominious and agonising death.

But is it really so shocking? All of these are familiar possibilities for a being that is an 'avatar' of a God - a spirit part of ...

for most of human history literacy was a privilege of a few. maybe to believe it can ever be otherwise is foolish. still, the attempt to educate broadly is commendable, and probably good for the soul of a nation, civilization to attempt it.

In Red Tree, White Tree, Wendy Berg maintains that Humans have red blood, Faeries have white blood, and Jesus had both.

The Bible makes reference to two streams of blood issuing from Christ's side: "But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came thereout blood and water. And he that saw it ...

A central theme of Red Tree, White Tree by Wendy Berg is that the color red represents the Human race, while white represents the Elven or Faery race. As noted in my June 13 post "Themes of interest in Red Tree, White Tree," the book also references "the idea of Elf-like beings putting on coats of skins to become ...

My last post, "A severed head underwater," documented a sync between an Arthurian legend I had just read about, in which a severed head is dropped down a well, and a similar scene I had recently read in a just-published Portuguese novel.

This evening I was poking around a bit on Mormon YouTube and ran across this ...

I like the stag-antler-crucifix symbolism because it includes the notion of actively pursuing something/following something to where you need to go, coupled with the reality that, ultimately, Christ is the "where" that you "need to go."

The above is an old comment I left on a From the Narrow Desert post in which ...

In a couple of months my new book A Survival Guide to the End Times will be published and I am reminded that I should promote and publicise it. For someone like me that's the least pleasant part of bringing a book to life, but obviously I understand the need for it.

However, for now there's an earlier book I would ...

I just read in Wendy Berg's Red Tree, White Tree an old Arthurian legend about a man who, having dishonored a woman, is killed and his severed head dropped into a well.

I've started reading Wendy Berg's Red Tree, White Tree, a book Bruce mentioned a while back, understanding it that it would be primarily a reinterpretation of the Matter of Britain based on the assumption that Guinevere and many of the other characters are Faery rather than Human.

I'm only about a third of the way ...

I imagine most people are familiar with Caravaggio's Head of Medusa (1597), which I was fortunate enough to view in person on a recent trip to Florence.

Serving as the grisly emblem of a ceremonial shield, Caravaggio depicts Medusa's severed head in the way most people might imagine it -- the wide-open eyes and mouth ...
