Post by David DaltonPost by David DaltonPost by David DaltonThis year Ramadan is expected to begin on the evening of
February 28 (depending on the sighting of the moon),
which is also the great planetary alignment, so I consider
it an auspicious time for positive global changes. Do you
as well?
Some may be interested in my
“new moon + planetary alignment attempt”
thread on alt.religion.druid.
In the third attempt of that thread, it is now after
sunset both here (St. John’s, Newfoundland) and
in Vancouver the night of February 28, and I think
after dawn March 1 in Saudi Arabia.
In this latest attempt the popthroughs will be reverse
chronological all the way, which means that for Muslims
Mohammed will take precedence over the earlier (thus
later in the sequence) Jesus, Moses, and Jacob if
there is a conflict. Also belief popthroughs take
precedence over non-belief popthroughs if there
is a conflict.
I have read that Muslims must abstain from sex during
the day during Ramadan but can have sex at night
(after they break their fast) and thus can benefit from
the sexuality aspects of my workings, which will
include most couples becoming optimally sexually
compatible (a minority already were).
I failed again, and plan to try again after I sight the waxing
crescent locally for the first time this lunar month.
Sunset here is at 5:46 p.m. 260 degrees, West.
At that time the moon will be at an altitude of 21 degrees
at 250 degrees, West-SouthWest, so it should be visible
around or just after then, so I expect to begin a new
attempt by around 5:55 p.m. (2125 UTC March 1).
If I fail because the moon is still only 5% full and will
be very close in azimuth to the setting sun, I don’t know
when I can try again, since it will be cloudy for at
least the next two evenings.
Some planets should also still be visible around nightfall.
I sighted the waxing crescent at 5:53 p.m. and began a
new attempt at 5:55 p.m. The number 55 is a lucky
recurring number for me, and in Roman numerals
is LV, which I take to mean LOVE.
I began the attempt by saying “Goddess, will you and
other collaborators involved in the initial nine items
please begin the initial nine items?” and getting a
(P) closure click and buzz. Again, I define Goddess
as the ruler of the region all.everything, who many
call God, and She is the chair/moderator and most
important collaborator of my workings, which can
be considered as a complicated prayer in which I
have done much of the groundwork in the last 29 years.
After I got the (P) closure, for good measure I
kissed the breast of the moon, thinking of
the woman I have shakti associated with Luna,
who is not Sarah McLachlan, who is shakti
associated with Gaia.
Even though it was not yet dark, I also spotted
what I am pretty sure is Venus.
