I think the domestication of the wolf came before agriculture - it probably was a companion of hunters and gatherers. Then got adapted to herding and pastoralism later .. The dog doesnt seem to have a stronger role in agricultural societies . Aside from herding, and companionship, what is its role in agriculture ?

? Why fire ? I agree, it would seem to unbalance the deck . I actually think those other Magi are a bit strange ; monkey swastika , - Dr Octopus . 'Golden Boy ' Lets take a moment to acknowledge the artist, Lady Frieda Harris ; Frieda with her 'fanatical slave driver ' (his own words ) ;

Well, of course , when you do what you 'want' any thing can happen . Just wondering if you read any of the thread , or just the title ? think you left a word or two out there ^ ( give , gain, get , earn ? ) But this has inspired me to coin the new 'law' that sees to be governing this new society that has arisen ' Get what you want is the whole of the law .'

Crowley ghost card ? My deck was the one with 1 magician and a red unicursal hexagram on black background . I think it also had a 'title card' in there too - top left ; there was a later deck with a 'rainbow' one ; Is the 'ghost card' a blank ? This all depends on the cutting sheets , a certain number often comes out that are greater than 78, so they print something on them or leave them blank . On the old Tarot forum site (now defunct ) people often argued about the meaning of a card . a fellow conspirator of mine there agreed to start up an argument with me there about the meaning of the blank card . It went on for some time . Some people where totally mystified and just did not get it . Including the stupid mods on that site - they thought we where serious " How on earth can you argue about the meaning of a blank card - its a blank card for goodness sakes ! " he is a picture of it ; . and here is what it REALLY means ; .

Not waiting on the update about the young lady offering me 'pleasure' ??? ( I reckon its going to be dinner .... and she is a vegan ! probably got the wording a bit wrong, being German ... my German neighbor said this the other day in front of a few people ; " The Police man, he stepped out on the road and then he pulled me off . " Everyone ; "Whaaaat ?" His GF ; " Pulled you OVER the saying is ; the policeman pulled you over ."

It started to spit ( thats a 'bad habit' that the weather has here when you are desperate for rain ...... dribble - then nothing ) , then stopped, then a bit more ... then light rain ! Then slightly heavier - nearly 'medium' . I was out dancing naked in it in the front paddock must have rained lightly here for about 15 mins ! and on the radar map, it certainly looked like heavier rain on the fire front . I have no idea yet what the effect on it was . This morning its overcast and misty/smokey . Weather predicts possible light thunderstorms each afternoon for a few days . Aside ; 3 days ago I saw black cockatoos - a sign of rain ( people dispute this, but after more than 30 years of observation I can affirm it . of course, it isnt just 'seeing' one, it is about the way they behave , even the way they fly ) and I thought , well, there you go, two black cockatoos, and no signs or predictions of rain at all ... but they 'came through'. In the past I have observed , in a drought time , a fleeting glimpse of this behaviour , then a few days latter - a few spots of rain .

I can hear thunder in the distant west ! Radar shows a small area of red (rain) over the fire front and no lightening strikes . Come on rain !

Hey Yueya. According to RFS meeting last night (and the map) the Ebor fire has joined the Carrai east fire and is currently 30km west of me and at the head of the Bellinger River . RFS says the rate of 'creep' eastwards is about 2- 3 km a day. It will probably, if southerly winds dont arise (unlikely in hot conditions ) get into the settled part of the valley within 2 weeks . Not counting wind blown ember attacks, spot fires etc . Of course something may happen to stop that, but RFS doesnt seem very positive . Thanks, I'll read that later . There was shit at the fire meeting about back burning and some where complaining that RFS back burning made the Bees nest fire worse and contributed to damage , A very spun out fire officer attempted to answer. I'm wondering what happens next for those people ? On a lighter note , after training this morning I went to a market in town, talking to a friend and I spotted a new friend I hadnt seen for a while ; she is a German/ Turkish young woman, attractive and great personality, I met her by letting her camp at my place last Xmas, she was in dire straights and no one else seemed to want to help her . Anyway we chattered and she offered downstairs of her new house for me to stay in and then ..... while my friend ( an old guy, like me , is there watching) she goes : " Come and stay " and looks at me and goes " Awwww .... you just need some pleasure ." and gives me a big hug . I am looking over her shoulder at my friend and he .... and I am looking back at him . ? ..... I am having strange thoughts though; When I leave, what about my roof possums ! , Should I put on my welding gloves and try and catch them and stuff them into a box and take them with me ? ... and other such thoughts . I am actually full of admiration for Yueya ; He fought the giant evil fire dragon monster ..... and won ! (ie, it didnt kill him )

'Make ' war ? You do realise the people that make the wars rarely fight in them ? ' Being caught up in a war ' or even forced into a war , or conscripted into a war is what most people experience with war . Oh for the happy days of youth, lying on a silk pillow while contemplating and giving 'advice' .....where solutions and judgements are so simple a thing Yes, thats right , these people have this because they thought they would feel 'better in their being for having it ' ; I suppose next we will get the 'karmic explanation' about how its all their fault ? This I agree with , but its 'personal advice' , that is , take your own medicine and dont prescribe for others, especially others in less fortunate circumstances than yourself ! A lot of New Age stuff works like that . - Ear ache ? Well, what is it YOU dont want to hear then , hmmmmm ? Broke your left arm ? Tut tut , resisting the 'feminine' where you ? Once I watched an interview with a Rabbi about this, the other asked the Rabbi if this was true , and he said it may be . Then the other went on to explain more , in context, and cited stuff like the bolded above . The Rabbi said yes, but hesitated and then looked shocked "Wait ! Do you mean this is an internal conversation with yourself, or people are actually saying that to others?" "To others, and its in books too ." " What ! This type of thing is possibly a message from God to you, its highly personal, why, to say this to someone else and judging on their misfortune and the dealings between God and their soul is just outrageous . I mean, I am a Rabbi and I wouldnt even say that to a Jew. That is between the person and God . What ! ? People are doing this now ? Where did this come from ? " Not until YOU meet angry Rabbi in the afterlife .

I got done by the not quoting , just post beneath thingo at the end of a page . But here is a REAL magic trick, especially for you ;

That last post was in response to this ^

I got my deck waaaay back as a youngun, only one Fool card in it . Not only that, it also came with only one magician card , the one on the right .

Its not looking good. Slowly the fire creeps closer everyday . Now the one the idiot arsonist lit crossed the main road, has joined in with another huge one and has got into the head of the valley I live in. Its still a few km away and even if it didnt get here, this is one of the few ancient rainforest areas left that has not been burned . Now, this relatively unburnt area is surrounded by a horseshoe of fires.... slowly closing in. I went to a huge meeting yesterday with the fire services and locals at the local hall. We were told that, inevitably, it is going to get here, its a narrow valley with only one road in and out. The only thing that is going to stop it is heavy rain and that is not predicted until February . They keep making containment lines but they dont work. Last night the smoke was so bad it was inside the cabin, I could see it under the lights . It could take 3 weeks for the fire to et here or a few days, depending on conditions. They havent been able to do much preparation as they have been busy elsewhere, like to the SE around Kempsey where over 40 homes have been lost. They have asked for extra help next week, more crews, choppers and the air tanker , but 'authorities' seem reluctant . They need them elsewhere. There was also some controversial issues . Like when someone questioned the condition of fire trails . hearing between the lines - they have been neglected and problematic, probably due to lack of govenrment funding and resources. They said they tried to get a big dozer up one of the forest roads to get into the area to redo the fire trails but they sent it up on a huge flatbed truck which could not get up the road . .... I would have though to go up with the dozer itself , clearing along the way. Anyway, too late now, that stuff should be done every year. And the government here is still refusing to acknowledge climate change or implement related policies to do with fire and funding . A few years back I bitched about it on here . A few local lads , good kids, being unemployed decided to join the local volunteer fire service. They did well, doing the training , even going interstate to fight dangerous fires when extra support needed, learnt how to operate the equipment , one even rose to 2nd in charge. Then the government informed them that to continue getting their payments they needed to do volunteer community work, They replied they where already doing that but where then told that volunteering and working in the volunteer rural fire fighting service didnt count ! They had to go and do volunteer work ( like refolding old clothes in a church thrift shop or something . So they left th fire service and the area . Brilliant guys ! Just brilliant. sometimes it feels like I am surrounded by idiots . Anyway, gonna pack up , move some stuff into town and leave vehicles at friend place , convert the car so its got a bed in it, somehow and get ready to evacuate ... and stay like that, in limbo, for .... ? Supposed to leave as soon as the map shows a yellow colour . They said once it turns red it is too late to leave , take shelter . Where ? Inside your house and close the windows . Whaaaaaat ? - I'm going early if it happens ...... when it happens .

Dont think about Elephants !

Its Jesus !

Are the ancient Egyptian texts, the Vedas and the Avestas old enough to count ? We often study and talk about them . What ancient books do you study ?

Ah good, some welkin 'logic' ... let's see where it goes .... yes, I do believe me . But I believe what I said , that the Matrix is a fictional movie . I dont believe in what you just tried to do ; say that I said physical reality is a fictional comic strip . Most people try to turn a phrase like that to win an argument , but you will have to better than this as it just comes off as stupid . No, I did decipher the movies meaning ..... I had it explained to me enough ... over and over again - on set . Boring ! So, you are older than 15 then .

Hey ! Some of that food had gluten in it ! Thats not very cool

Dude .... that was a movie based on a fictional comic strip ! Note the bolded bits , it might be a better idea when ranting insanities that you dont include us , ie speak for yourself . Carpenters are not my enemy One actually helped me build my shed . A nice chap too . I suppose at the end of the job I could have said ' Thanks , but you are part of the system and hence my enemy , now piss off. " As far as teachers go ...... < ahem > ... gues who used to be a teacher ?

We and the Illuminated One obviously DID want to have it as we kept having it and are still having it, regardless of your attempts to disrupt it . It appeared that you did not anyone to have it, that's why you kept trying to divert and disrupt it . Why ? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaybe becasue it was TOO deep for you and you couldn't contribute anything valid ? Mmmmhmmmmm ? But that would not stop someone like you making a noise though We know its okay for you to be wrong. Thats not the issue

You're welcome . (Such politeness makes me want to post more and more )

One day, when its probably too late , 'throw away' / 'disposable' items will not be allowed to be made out of plastic . IMO plastic is a perfect example of modern insanity. A substance is developed that doesnt rust, shatter, tarnish, decompose, etc . And what do we start using it for ? Disposable 'throw away' items . yeah, I know its supposed to be recyclable, but most of it isnt . Then , there is this ; Under plastic veggi production ; All of this plastic needs replacing every so often . Guess what happens to the old stuff ? It gets dumped on the nearest open land, usually in gullies. I have seen film of it, it looks like geological layers within the eroded gullies and creek beds, which of course eventually erodes into the Med . and other places . ' It's now got to the stage that experts think we're going to leave a noticeable plastic marker in Earth's sedimentary record – something for future generations to look back on and realise just how much we rely on plastics at this point in history.

I'll try again Hussites protesting ;

Seems that 'skinny dippin' goes back some way ; Then , there was 'radical revolutionary nudity' https://www.medievalists.net/2014/08/adamites-hippy-heretics-middle-ages/ After the burning of Johannes Hus in 1415, his followers radicalised and not only carried out their raids naked, but also renounced clothing in everyday life:
