11/18/2008 - Cauda Draconis - G16

Gong #16

I have been researching the sparrow sigil and found a few similar symbols:










I noticed that the symbol for borax had a similar shape. If I took the symbol and mirrored it off the left side it would basically produce it, but I felt in my heart that there was a better match out there.

It was shortly after that realization that I found it!


















Cauda Draconis literrally means Tail of the Dragon in Latin.

A geomancy site stated the following about Cauda Draconis:

"Cauda Draconis, the Moon's South Node or Dragon's Tail, is associated with the negative sides of Saturn and Scorpio. It can show misfortune and the need to pay for past debts. Cauda Draconis favors the termination of something. When Cauda falls in the first house, many geomancers destroy the figure.

If you obtain Cauda Draconis as an answer to a spiritual question: stop and think. You might be influenced and pushed in a dangerous, harmful direction, harmful and destructive for you as well as for others. Analyze your deeper motives and try to understand your real intentions when it comes to spirituality, or should we say magic? Are you sure your quest is not motivated by the desire to dominate other human beings without paying the price of true initiation which always involve reaching down to the depths of yourself? But maybe you are not the problem: take a critical look at the person you have chosen as your spiritual guide and examine his motivations. Do not lose hope however, and remember the one who said: seek, and you will find... Trust your intuition, it can change everything."

I also beleive that Cauda Draconis represents, in your western astrological chart, one of the lunar nodes. A node is moment when the moon crosses the ecliptic of the sun in the same way it did when you were born. The beginning node being the Caput Draconis (Head of the Dragon.)

I am not sure what this all means, but feel that Cauda Draconis does have a significance.

BTW, on the way to work this morning I passed a Mercedes whos vanity plate read THINKPOS!

11/09/2008 - Sigils

I attended an Autumn Social at Leo's house today with my family. It was a nice potluck with great people. We did a harvest/seed exercise that was interesting. Basically you talked with the group about what was your Harvest from the previous year and what seed you would plant for the upcoming. I harvested knowledge and seeded love.

I drew out the symbol to Leo and he said his first thought was that it looked like a Sigil. This started a research into Sigils. I will report what I find, if anything.

11/08/2008 - Signs in the Sky

I was sitting at a light this afternoon and looked up to see literally thousands of sparrows lined up continuously on a set of power lines over the intersection. I notices that they formed a shape similar to this:

















I do not yet know what it means, if anything, but I know I had never seen an uninterrupted line of all sparrows in that number in my life.

10/27/2008 - Like Father Like Son

I went to lunch with Leo today. We discussed personal lives, politics and the Mayan calendar. I was fascinated to find that the calendar's proposed end of the world (December 20th, 2012) is actually the end of a 2600 year cycle, called a b'ak'tun. This timing seems to align with the current transition into the age of Aquarius and historically with the beginning of Leo age approx 13,000 years ago.

Key numbers in this calendar are 4, 13 and 20 which represent different cogs which rotate in different ways to display the dates of the calendar.

Leo's point about the alignment with these and other calendars is that it seems that the world in general has had more change in it over the past eight years then it has in a long time. We discussed the possibility that these changes may continue until 2012 when a global consciousness shift occurs signaling the arrival of the Aquarian age.

I also asked him about the significance to him of the KJ suited from the other night. He, before even hearing the context of the story, said something like this of the two Major Arcana cards: "I would say the King represents the father and Jack the son...a representation of the coming together of two worlds, the spirit and the physical and the knowledge transfer between them."

Comparing the numbers in the Mayan calendar and the poker night I find the following:

-A pair of four's won the hand (4 being important in the Mayan Calendar)
-K is card # 13 in the suit (13 being important as well)
-J is card # 11 in the suit (No significance that I can think of with 11 and the calendar)
-Maybe there were four King's, four Jack's, two four's and four players who did not fold (4+4+4+4+4 = 20, the third number...hhhhmmmm)

Was my presence the reason for this synchronicity? Was this just another way for the universe to let me know that I am still walking the path in the correct way and it is leading me to enlightenment (even at a poker game?)

10/24/2008 - Poker Night

I played Texas Hold'em poker Friday night with some friends. This was a relatively mundane evening with no exceptional happenings until I walked away from a hand I had just folded. When I returned to the hand everyone was standing up talking about it. It turns out four of the seven players each were dealt King-Jack of the same suit. The players were all amazed at about how unusual this was and how they had never, in a combined 50+ years of playing poker, seen such an improbable hand. All of the KJs hands were beat by a pair of fours. I was not sure what this all meant, and since I was not in on the round I figured it did not necessarily pertain to me anyway.

BTW: the number of possible hands in a seven player game is ≈1.2674 x 10^17 (more than 126 quadrillion) and I believe the probability of this hand is approx 1 in 832 Billion.
