Prophecy-o-rama

 
 
Logos
19:29 / 26.11.01
I've been doing a fair amount of divination over the last year, and I've been finding that I go through periods where certain symbols show up again and again, even when I'm not consciously directing them.

After a number of divination attempts using all kinds of methods, I've come up with the following recurrent symbols, words, and images for the coming three months:

The word: "exuberance"

The image: a hand running through the short hairs at the nape of a neck.

The rune: Wunjo.

The tarot card: the Sun

The numbers: 7, 31, 147

If anyone's interested, the previous three months had the following results attached to them:

The word: "Crepuscular"

The Rune: Tiwaz (always in pairs)

The Tarot cards: the Moon, the Star

The image: clouds seen through the supports of a bridge.

can you throw some e-divination my way?

OK, impulsivelad. So far, here's what I've been getting:

A lot of Philip K. Dick-related stuff: the word VALIS has shown up in (other people's)conversation, in the papers, and on TV thirteen times in the last week. On at least two of these occasions, it's been connected with the word "impulsive".

Also, ornithomancy (divination by interpreting the flights of birds): immediately after throwing your name out there, a banded-tail hawk swooped in over my head, chased by four very angry ravens, who spent the next hour cawing at the hawk, as it flew from tree to tree to try to elude them.

What does it all mean? I dunno, but there's your prophecy-o-rama.

Nice work, Logos. If you're having fun practising, can you do a prophecy-o-rama for me too? I'd be curious to see what the runes & such turn up for me at this point in my life.

Hawk chased by ravens = War, persecuted/chased off by Death. It could also mean that War has stolen something from Death, or the Warrior is running after counting coup on either Death or the Priesthood; I dunno, I didn't see the exact behavior.

Four = the number of the Earth (the square), of Home (four walls), and of the four cardinal directions - surrounding at all sides.

Tiwaz doubled?

Tiwaz- I believe the 17th rune is related to war.The double "T" could have to do with the events of september 11.
The Star and The Moon- Optimism/Hope on the star side and occult forces at work on the moon side.Disturbing dreams,halucinations and insanity.

Consider now the next 3 months.Wunjo "W" is translated to "Glory of the Gods" or Victory. The sun card is self explanitory and of course 7 again,attributed to victory by way of the chariot card.The total of your numbers reaches 185 which reduces to 14 and 5.!4 being temperence and 5 the heirophant.
Hmmm....Merry Christmas,War is over...

I'm intrigued Logos.Could you throw some divination my way?? I like a your style...

Ok--I'll do a set of divinations for all'y'all. Unfortunately, the "metadivination" method that gets the words that suddenly show up everywhere at once coincidentally takes a very long time to do, as do most of the other "big" techniques, so the energy behind these may be down a notch or two.

If Rex, or any of the rest of you, would like to post interpretations, it would be much appreciated. Also, if anyone would care to send a "success in business" spell or sigil in my direction for the coming month, it would also be appreciated...

So:

Hunter:

The numbers: 6, 16, 32

The Runes: Laguz, Uruz, and Eoh.

The Tarot: The King of Swords

Stichomancy (divination by books), the passage: I knew three young men who walked together daily for some two months in a solemn and beautiful forest and in cloudless summer weather; daily they talked with unabated zest, and yet scarce wandered that whole time beyond two subjects - theology and love. And perhaps neither a court of love nor an assembly of divines would have granted their premisses or welcomed their conclusions.
-Robert Louis Stevenson, Memories and Portraits

Kooky:

i ching: 36. Ming I , changing to 15. Khien

Runes: Ken

Stichomancy: When we left Macon, it was our intention to take a steamer at Charleston through to Phila- delphia; but on arriving there we found that the vessels did not run during the winter
--William and Ellen Craft

(I did a second reading for you, but forgot to copy it down. It also had to do with a group of people travelling in winter, interestingly enough.)

Mordant:

The image: A grasshopper jumping from a young man's hands, upraised, palms up before him.

The tarot: The page of wands

The reading: Socrates is afraid that the youth Cleinias may be discouraged at these repeated overthrows. He therefore explains to him the nature of the process to which he is being subjected. The two strangers are not serious; there are jests at the mysteries which precede the enthronement, and he is being initiated into the mysteries of the sophistical ritual. This is all a sort of horse-play, which is now ended. The exhortation to virtue will follow
--Plato Euthydemus

The Rune: Man


Grant:

The numbers: 2, 84, 834

The Rune: (blank, or Destiny rune)

The Tarot: 3-card: Knight of Pentacles (reversed), King of Swords, Two of Pentacles (reversed). 1-card: the Empress (reversed)

Stichomancy: 'Guineas?' said Mr. Podgers at last, in a low voice.
'Certainly. I will send you a cheque to-morrow. What is your club?'

'I have no club. That is to say, not just at present. My address is -, but allow me to give you my card'; and producing a bit of gilt-edge pasteboard from his waistcoat pocket, Mr. Podgers handed it, with a low bow, to Lord Arthur, who read on it,

--Oscar Wilde Lord Arthur Savile's Crime

Rex:

The image: A lion, roaring like a trumpet.

Stichomancy: Dipping long strokes and strong, the girl, in concert with the man, suddenly whirled the tiny craft about against the current and brought it gently to the shore. Another instant and she stood at the top of the bank, heaving up by rope, hand under hand, a quarter of fresh-killed moose. Then the man followed her, and together, with a swift rush, they drew up the canoe. The dogs were in a whining mass about them, and as the girl stooped among them caressingly, the man's gaze fell upon Mrs. Sayther, who had arisen. He looked, brushed his eyes unconsciously as though his sight were deceiving him, and looked again. --Jack London Tales of the Klondike

The Runes: Ken (reversed), Tyr, Inguz

The Tarot: King of Cups (reversed)

Thanks very much for the divination, Logos........I'll prepare a sigil for you, as you requested.

As for my results in your prophecy-o-rama , can anyone give me their take on interpreting those results? I can do some searches on the Net about the runes and numbers, but I'd be curious to see how others would interpet that reading if the time and inclination are present.

Stichomancy: Passing of information in return for money.

Two reversed pentacles and the King of Swords: I'm owed money for my intellectual product? I'm about to get ripped off?

The Empress reversed: Mom's angry with me?

Hmm.
This is FUN!
Thanks!

Logos, I realize I'm late in the game here, but anyway I can talk you into doing this for me, too?

Muchos Gracias.

Thanks again, Logos.....the runes make PERFECT sense with my life right now (I did a lot of Net research on the runes and their various meanings/connotations). I'm off the check out the King of Swords. The numbers are what I could use help with.

Peace!

One for Foxxy:

The Angel: Gabriel

The direction: The South

The Rune: Ger

The Tarot: Nine of Cups (reversed)

Stichomancy: Therefore we always teach that the Sacraments and all external things which God ordains and institutes should not be regarded according to the coarse, external mask, as we regard the shell of a nut, but as the Word of God is included therein. For thus we also speak of the parental estate and of civil government. If we propose to regard them in as far as they have noses, eyes, skin, and hair flesh and bones, they look like Turks and heathen, and some one might start up and say: Why should I esteem them more than others? But because the commandment is added: Honor thy father and thy mother, I behold a different man, adorned and clothed with the majesty and glory of God. The commandment (I say) is the chain of gold about his neck, yea, the crown upon his head which shows to me how and why one must honor this flesh and blood.

--from The Large Catechism by Dr. Martin Luther
