The Crystal Ball And The Crystal Piano

 I dreamed I had a crystal ball. I dropped it and it ran away downhill. I chased it, but it went out of sight. I saw something shiny in a ditch but when i fished it out it was only a plastic wrapper. I went on looking and in a ditch at the bottom of the hill  found  the ball,  somewhat worse for wear. In the area of damage there was a number scratched. "Only it's not just a number" said the old woman who was now with me, "But the complete address of the original owners." The thing was now no longer a ball but a crystal object in the shape of a grand piano and we were on a bus going back up the hill.  I recognisd my new companion as someone from one of the parishes I'd worked in long ago though I couldn't remember her name. She turned the object over and showed me a window in which a little home-made movie was playing on a loop. It showed the original owners- a newly married young couple. The wife  was tall and thin and had short dark hair. They seemed very happy. The film ran its course, returned to the beginning and there was a scene with horses in a field. 

We had now arrived in Brie, which was the town where the young couple had lived in the 70s. I wondered whether it would be possible to return the crystal piano- or, indeed,  if indeed they were still alive. I also worried thatmy family wouldd be missing me at home and was sorry I hadn't got my phone with me to let them know where I was. My companion said she was thirsty so we went into an off-license. It ws an odd little shop with very limited stock. I got into a fumbling conversation with the shopman which made me look like a fool. "When I tell my friends this story later, " he said, "It will have a significance you are unaware of because you don't know the context." And I thought "You don't know about the crystal ball and the crystal piano so you're a fine one to talk." 

I asked him how much I owed and he said, "Ten thousand pounds." It was a joke, I think. Anyway I had a great wad of notes to pay him with. Then he waved me away. Our business was finished and he needed to serve the next customer in the queue that had formed behind me, My companion had taken herself off- and I was sorry- but I felt under my arm and I still had the crystal piano.

I woke- and the clock said 4:44- one of those repeating numbers that means "Sit up and take notice."

Coming Soon

 All the gods are one god and all the goddesses are one goddess.

They are aspects of the All That Is.

And we find the All That Is easier to handle if we break it down a bit.

The next few posts will be images of Gods and Goddesses. I'm putting them all behind a cut because there is nudity and some unpleasantness- but Truth is naked and can also- to human understanding which is partial- be felt to be unpleasant...

Fortuna

 As Fortuna she has been called fickle, as Nemesis she is considered vengeful. Think of her rather as a regulator- the one who maintains the Creation in balance, who turns the wheel...

As an equaliser...

She "has pulled down the mighty from their seats and exalted the humble and meek..
