I’m in a house that I’ve been in before (in another dream). It’s a white wooden house with two floors. There are many windows on each floor. It’s a light airy house, as if it’s always summer here. On the second floor there is a balcony (or two). I’m looking out through a window of the back of the house and on the evening sky, which is a bluish turquoise, there’s a gigantic moon. It is the biggest moon I’ve ever seen; a large disk in the sky that easily could fit five or six suns; the disk is magenta-coloured, hovering low over the horizon, partly visible through the window. I feel exhilarated, uplifted, I run to find my camera, and to go outside, where I can get a clear shot. I seem to forget the moon, and my camera, as soon as other things come in the way.

Super Moon

I photographed the supermoon. Now, the moon is closer to the earth than it has been in 18 years.

Due to clouds and snow I missed out on the Geminids meteor shower and the lunar eclipse in December, but tonight the skies were clear enough and dark enough.

Occurrences of Sky Phenomena

I’m looking out through the window of the car. I can see a comet in the sky, faintly. It’s getting brighter and brighter, and I say to the others that “the comet is on fire”.

My grandmother is on her deathbed. I have to get to her house before she dies. I run with a friend to my family’s house, but it’s the middle of the night and everyone in my family is fast asleep. A crescent moon is visible against the black sky. While I am looking at it, the ‘C’ Moon is reversed, from left to right. My friend takes the car parked outside my house, and we drive back.

I’m watching the sky at night. I can see three celestial bodies next to each other in a line. The moon is on the right, Saturn in the middle. I can clearly see the surface of the third planet, the one on the left; it is blue and white, with land continents and oceans. I look away and I look at it again. The planet on the left must be Earth, but I don’t understand how that is possible. I reckon that, somehow, Earth is reflected onto the sky. The image in the sky is suddenly a lot bigger, as if closer now. When I turn, I see the Earth globe turn too, spinning around in the sky, as if connected to my movements.

I’m outside of the school. I see a cluster of stars on the sky. They’re burning brighter and brighter, and they start to spin ’round until they appear to have blended together into a white spot shining with a bright light. This phenomenon repeats itself over and over again, as I lie in the grass watching it. I look towards my house, and on the balcony there are other people watching the sky too.

I reach out. He pulls his arm away from me. My spirit sinks, disheartened. He is even more beautiful to me now, in this dream, than he is in real life. I look towards the sun. It looks like fractals.

Matter

Matter is equivalent to the Moon and Form is equivalent to the Sun, this according to Evola.

Mirrors

October 11, 2010 § Leave a comment

The Mirror as a symbol provides multiple and diverse meanings and associations, which, like Cirlot points out, gives the-mirror-as-symbol the same characteristics as the mirror itself. For Scheler and other philosophers the mirror is an instrument of self-contemplation. This gives the mirror an introspective quality, but the mirror can also be seen as a reflection of the universe. Making a connection between this statement, and the water as reflector, Cirlot says: “the cosmos appears as a huge Narcissus regarding his own reflections in the human consciousness” (p. 211). The state of the world is of temporal character, it  is constantly changing; just like the images reflected in a mirror appears and disappears, one state being substituted for another. Cirlot connects the “absent” mirror and the “peopled” mirror with a kind of phasing, relating this to moon symbolism and the moon’s phases. The moon is in itself a mirror: reflecting the light from the sun. The moon has been seen as a symbol of the multiplicity of the soul – another thing that connects lunar symbolism with mirror symbolism. Sometimes the mirror is used as a door or passage through which the soul may pass on to “the other side”.

The Felling of Trees

September 27, 2010 § Leave a comment

“The state of the moon, too, is of infinite importance, and it is generally recommended that trees should be cut only between the twentieth and the thirtieth days of the month. It is generally agreed, however, by all, that it is the very best time for felling timber, when the moon is in conjunction with the sun, a day which is called by some persons the interlunium, and by others the moon’s silence.”

“Some persons say that the moon ought not only to be in conjunction, but below the horizon as well, a thing that can only happen in the night. If the conjunction should chance to fall on the very day of the winter solstice, the timber, they say, that is then felled will be of everlasting duration; the next best being the timber that is cut when the conjunction coincides with the constellations previously mentioned. There are some, too, who add the rising of the Dog-star as a favourable time”
