*"The Supreme Lord of the universe, is a veritable ocean of kindness and
love. He is ever seated in our hearts. To surrender to Him, by a ceaseless
remembrance of His name and His glory, is to enjoy immortal bliss and
peace. Mother, He is the sole doer. We are merely instruments. We are the
children; He is our Divine Mother. We are His and He is ours, for ever and
for ever. Being born of Him, we are one with Him. We live in Him; He lives
in us. He and we mingle indistinguishably; and we are all He, the Supreme,
the One Eternal Reality." *
*- Swami Ramdas*

"I saw the snares that the enemy spreads out over the world and I said
groaning, "What can get through from such snares?" Then I heard a
voice saying to me, "Humility." "

St. Anthony the Great.

"If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the
poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."
Matthew 19:21

---------------------------------------------------------------

The Bible reading for the 22nd of Toba, January 31st, is:
32 Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to
give you the kingdom. 33 Sell what you have and give alms; provide
yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens
that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys. 34
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 35 Let your
waist be girded and your lamps burning; 36 and you yourselves be like
men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding,
that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. 37
Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find
watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have
them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them. 38 And if he
should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find
them so, blessed are those servants. 39 But know this, that if the
master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would
have watched and not allowed his h

ouse to be broken into. 40 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of
Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. 41 Then Peter said to Him,
Lord, do You speak this parable only to us, or to all people? 42 And
the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his
master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion
of food in due season? 43 Blessed is that servant whom his master will
find so doing when he comes. 44 Truly, I say to you that he will make
him ruler over all that he has. (Luke 12:32-44)
Departure of St. Anthony the Great, Anba Antonius.

The Bible reading for the 23rd of Toba, February 1st, is: Luke 16:20-33
Martyrdom of St. Timothy, the Apostle.
Departure of Pope Cyril IV (Kyrillos), 110th Pope of Alexandria.

Notes

The wreath forms the number "0," thus balancing the Fool "0" at the
beginning of the trumps. The shape also may refer to the Tattwa for
Spirit. On the other hand, the cross made with the legs and the
triangle made with the arms inverts the image on the Hanged Man,
symbolizing that the mystical journey is completed.

Purple drape - This card is assigned to Saturn in the Golden Dawn
system, and the color of Saturn is indigo (Regardie, p 241).

The figure's arms form a triangle, and the legs form a cross. The
triangle and cross combine to make an important symbol in the GD
initiation rituals. The triangle and cross also form a septernary and
the World card completes the third septernary of the Trumps.

The Universe

The Universe (or World) is numbered twenty one and is the final card
of the Major Arcana. We usually see a female figure dancing within or
upon the world, often surrounded by a laurel wreath. The four
elemental creatures can be seen, suggesting mastery. This is a card of
completion. The soul has attained earthly perfection after passing
through the final, self-imposed, trial of the Aeon.

There are many positive and enjoyable connotations to this card. There
is satisfaction, fulfilment and pride, because we have achieved
something. There is fruitfulness and bounty as a reward for our
earlier efforts. There is good fortune and confirmation that now we
are putting enough into life to get out of it what we need.

The Universe completes the journey and evolution of the Fool. We begin
in innocence, mature through experience and education, becoming wise
and measured. Balanced in this way we finally achieve the good fortune
and joy of the Universe. The traumas and self-imposed obstacles are
gone. We have integrated all parts of our being into a harmonious
synthesis which brings positivity and success into material reality.
Like the figure depicted in the card, we dance with the joy of life.
And again we are the Innocent.

Working with The Universe

The Universe is a card of completion - spiritually it indicates that
we have come to the end of a given period of development, and are now
prepared to move on into the next phase. This card will sometimes come
up to mark a period where synthesis of knowledge occurs, that amazing
moment when you realise how much you have grown over the last weeks or
months or years.

Completion occurs only in order to open our path to the next part of
our journey, so in some respects, the Universe is a retrospective
card, which opens gateways to our future.

On a day ruled by this card, try to bring something to a point of
completion. Expect the forces of life to join with you in that effort.
And turn your mind to thoughts about the next logical step once you
have succeeded in your efforts.

All things in life grow out of what preceded them - the plant grows
from the seed; the project grows from the idea; wisdom grows from
knowledge and experience. We are constantly developing. Our
understanding expands stage by stage.

But a Universe day marks an important point of pivot in our growth. It
shows us that it is time to take stock of what we have done - the
distance that we have travelled. And in taking confidence and
self-reliance from the progress we have already made, we can go
forward with trusting hearts, and high spirits.

So....recap your achievements on a Universe day, remember where you
came from. Then turn your face to the future and decide where you're
going! You can apply this to mundane tasks as readily as to spiritual
development - each depends upon the other.

Affirmation: I am a Child of the Universe

The World Tarot Card Interpretation

The World major tarot cards sits at number 21.

The World tarot card represents birth and rebirth, new beginnings and
opportunities.

It is important that you read my information on the Vesica Pisces in
order to fully comprehend the symbolism of The World.

http://www.toniallen.co.uk/vesica-pisces.html

Here you will have learnt how the Vesica Pisces, the central ellipse
that the woman dances out from, is the bridge between heaven and earth
or the unmanifest and manifest worlds.

In tarot the woman is symbolic of the life giving force of creation.
She holds two batons or wands in her hands depicting the dual nature
that she brings to humanity.

At The Lovers tarot cards we learnt how discrimination helps us to
rise above our dual natures in order to make correct choices in life.
However here, at the World card, we are the new born spirit emerging
into nature as symbolised by the wreath that grows around the Vesica
Pisces.

The creative principal shines through us time and time again, life
time after life time, always bestowing a unique nature and
opportunities to learn and grow towards perfection. Our opportunities
are symbolised by the four elements, The Angel -air-intellect, Eagle -
water-emotions, Bull-earth-substance and Lion-fire-passion. These are
the same elements as we find in the four suits of tarot.

On our Tarot journey by the time we reach the world card we have been
around 2 levels of consciousness and arrived at a new beginning or
rebirth. Hence 21.

During a reading the World tarot card will symbolise that it is time
to get out into the world and take the opportunities offered. All of
us have talent and potential at various levels. As an astrologer I
frequently see the phenomena in a client's birth chart where they have
lived the first part of their life using certain talents and are
preparing to strengthen other, so far latent qualities, in order to
progress in life and take on new challenges.

Sometimes the World card can also literally indicate travel and a need
to travel further afield outside our regular environment. When the
World card is reversed it often indicates that the questioner feels
trapped and unable to step out into the world. A small world. I see
this most often when the questioner is stuck in a caring situation,
whether that be physically nursing elderly parents, bringing up
children or staying in the same old job in order to bring in enough
money to provide for a family.

Due to the World card's connection with the Vesica Pisces' ancient
symbolism as the vagina during a reading it can also depict a safe
birth, sex and a renewed exploration of ones sexuality.

If the images in the corners are taken as the fixed zodiacal signs,
they must be in the order shown on the RWS deck. The man represents
Aquarius and he needs to be placed diagonally to Leo the lion. The
same goes for the bull which represents Taurus - it must be placed
diagonally across from the eagle which represents Scorpio. Some decks
switch the order - perhaps they are following the order of the
Evangelists as given in Ezekiel and not the proper zodiacal
positioning? The Cosmic tarot is an example of the change. Notice that
the lion and the bull are reversed. This is not the proper order of
the signs of the zodiac or the fixed stars found within the
constellations.

Below is a post from aeclectic which talks about Babylonian astrology
and the four fixed stars.

First is a description from Wikipedia and after that the post about fixed stars.

A naked woman or hermaphrodite hovers or dances above the Earth
holding a staff in each hand, surrounded by a green wreath, being
watched by various creatures. In older decks, these are usually a
human face or head, a lion, an ox, and an eagle, the symbols of the
four Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Matthew the Evangelist, the author of the first gospel, symbolized by a man...

Mark the Evangelist, the author of the second gospel, symbolized by a lion...

Luke the Evangelist, the author of the third gospel and the Acts of
the Apostles, symbolized by a bull or a calf...

John the Evangelist, the author of the fourth gospel, symbolized by an eagle...

It also holds reference to the vision of Ezekiel in the old testament.
This is a reference to the all-encompassing knowledge of the Bible,
the Word of God. Later decks avoid such blatant Christian symbolism,
or ignore it altogether, choosing to explain these observers as
representatives of the natural world, or the kingdom of beasts. An
alternative explanation is based on astrological symbolism. The human
face, bull, lion, and eagle represent the fixed signs of the zodiac,
Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio. In some decks the wreath is a
basilisk (crowned reptile) biting its own tail; this basilisk is also
sometimes called an Ouroborous.

In some decks, this card is also called "The Universe."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_(Tarot_card)

I agree with the poster who spoke about the ancient Babylonian
symbolism of the four beasts, representing the root symbolism of this
card on which many other cycles of symbolism are layered. It was
during the Babylonian period of history that the Sun conjuncting the
four stars Aldebaran (Eye of Taurus, the Bull), Regulus (Heart of the
Lion), Antares (Heart of the Scorpion) and Fomalhaut (Mouth of the
Fish) marked the changes in seasons of the solar year. You will note
that the Lady of "The World" is encircled by an oval wreath marked
into four sections. The oval wreath represents the Solar Year. The
four beasts mark the stars that represented the Solstices and
Equinoxes when astrology was first invented. The animals fall into
exactly the sequence of the seasons when we follow them
counterclockwise around the card--first Spring (Bull/Taurus), then
Summer (lion/Leo), then Autumn (eagle/Scorpio), then Winter
(man/Aquarius).

Aquarius, by the way, is the "water bearer", astrologically symbolized
by a man pouring or carrying water: therefore, his symbol is a human
form. All four beasts in Babylonian myth have wings, so you could say
he is a winged man and therefore an angel, or you could say the four
beasts are all angels, since they all have wings.

And the Lady (the World), dances within the oval (quite accurate,
actually--the solar year is better described as an oval than a circle)
solar cycle of the seasons.

The Babylonians referred to the four stars as "the Watchers" of the
four directions of the compass. As a result of Ezekiel and Daniel
borrowing heavily on the beasts of Babylonian astrological symbolism
in describing their visions, the identical concepts were imported into
Hebrew symbolism in the book of Daniel and later Christian symbolism
in the book of Revelation. The term for "Watchers" in Hebrew
translates to messengers, or Angels in English.

The Four Watchers, then, became associated with the four Archangels:

Aldebaran = Uriel, or Light of God

Regulus = Raphael, or Healing of God

Antares = Michael, or Like God

Fomalhaut = Gabriel, or Strength of God

THE WORLD - 21

Attribution - Saturn

The Major Fortune.

The World card is represented by the number 21 or 3. It stands for the

On This Day:

Tuesday January 31, 2012

This is the 31st day of the year, with 335 days remaining in 2012.

Fact of the Day: growth plates

Mammals have the ability of skeletal growth because of flexible
epiphyses [pronounced: a pith a seas] (growth caps) found at the ends
of the long bone shafts. The epiphyseal cartilages [growth plates]
separate the epiphyses while bones are forming. The advent of puberty
is signaled by an increase of sex hormones and at this point the
growth plates begin to close. Once they are eliminated, the growth
process totally stops.

*Mind Control
*

It is very important that we should focus our mind on spiritual activities.
If that happens then at the time of death, our mind will be properly
situated. Based on his desire, the living entity takes his birth
accordingly. Krsna Consciousness teaches you the importance of regulating
the mind because if the mind is properly regulated, there is no fear.
*
Freedom by surrender*

*
*

*The holy name is the most valuable asset that you can possess!

The man who hand-draws mathematical fractals

One of the subjects I work with, JP, has acquired synesthesia and
acquired savant syndrome. This happened as a result of a brutal
assault in 2002, during which he was kicked and hit on the head. He
was subsequently diagnosed with a bleeding kidney and an unspecified
head injury. What the doctors didn't know was that JP no longer saw
the world the way he used to. Objects suddenly did not have smooth
boundaries. Things no longer moved smoothly. Motion took place in
picture frames. It looked like someone paused and unpaused the flow of
the world very rapidly. Even more amazing: JP was suddenly able to see
vivid fractal images of objects with a fractal structure (such as,
broccoli). Fractal 3

JP's response to his new way of seeing the world was to withdraw from
it. He spent the following three years in his apartment and refused to
leave unless it was strictly necessary. After three years in complete
isolation JP figured that he would try to draw what he saw, so he
could make people understand him. He started drawing. And he
continued. He drew and drew and drew, using only a pencil, a ruler and
a compass. The results were beautiful hand-drawn fractal-like images.
JP didn't know then that he was the first in the world to hand-draw
mathematical fractals and that he would later win prizes for his
drawings. He didn't even know what he was drawing, except that it was
what he saw.

A year later a mathematician came into the store where JP worked as a
sales person. He saw some of JP's drawings and urged JP to take some
college math courses. JP had barely passed his high school math exams.
But he went back to school and learned a few basics that enabled him
to describe to people in mathematical terms what he saw. Once he
learned some basic equations for the structures he saw, these
equations, too, would trigger fractal images. Fractal 1

It was around this time I first met JP. Maureen Seaberg, a New
York-based journalist and synesthete, had told me about JP, and I
quickly realized how special he was. I decided to do a case study.
From his descriptions of what he saw, I guessed that JP had some
damage to the motion and boundary areas of the brain, and a regular
MRI did indeed reveal possible structural damage to the MT/LOC
regions, the regions responsible for generating images of motion and
boundaries.

Together with my collaborators in Finland I decided to do some
functional brain scans. We also carried out a transcranial magnetic
stimulation study. The results of the study were quite amazing. During
fractal generation, JP's brain uses the left hemisphere exclusively,
and none of the regions in visual cortex are involved in producing the
visual images. The regions in the temporal lobe normally associated
with memory were not hyperactivated either. We don't quite know what
to make of this yet. But it does seem to show for the first time that
areas other than memory and visual areas can generate visual features.
This is very strong evidence against modular views of the brain.

pentacles are a glimpse into the world of material & physical matters.

All of the four categories of the Tarot are equally important.
However, the pentacles tend to grab our attention because these
represent what has become manifest in the physical world

Many Tarot scholars place the pentacles as the last suit in the
ordering of the Tarot deck because they are the result of the elements
brought about by executing elements of the other suits.

In other words, emotion (cups), thought (swords), and
spirit/creativity (wands) brings about a culmination of events that
manifest themselves in our physical (pentacle) reality.

Not all of us may be living in Madonna's material world, but we can
agree that all of us are most certainly subjects and objects of the
physical plane.

The scope of the Tarot pentacles spans across everything physical you
can conceptualize. Here are the physical issues of the pentacles:

* Health

* Money

* Homestead

But we know that everything about the Tarot is multi-dimensional, so
we know there are much deeper meanings to the Tarot pentacles than
just materialism.

I would encourage you to spread out the suit of pentacles before you
in order. Observe these 14 cards in earnest. They will begin to tell
you a story of balance and goodness that is wrought by our own
actions.

The pentacles serve as a taproot of the Tarot deck. Your observations
of this suit will take you to the richest reaches of the earth where
immeasurable gifts are found.

While gazing at your suit of pentacles, contemplate the deeper
meanings this facet of the Tarot has to offer you, such as:

# Faith

# Charity

# Bounty

# Equality

# Generosity

# Reciprocity

# Appreciation

# Dedication

# Groundedness

# Responsibility

# Determination

Pretty heavy-hitting concepts, aren't they? Did these concepts occur
to you while gazing at the Tarot pentacles? What other deeper meanings
come to your awareness? Write these down, keep a little journal about
your thoughts, feelings and experiences with the pentacles. The more
you get to know the overall feeling of this suit, the better your
interpretations will be.

Refer to this chart while you continue to observe the intricacies of
this suit. What kind of associations can you add? Do you agree with
these associations? What would you change?

The Tarot is an intensely personal mode of communication. Volumes have
been written to help us interpret and clarify various meanings
pertaining to it. However, ultimately you are the only interpreter who
matters. Therefore, associations and meanings are your prerogative.

There are many examples to draw upon when relating these deeper
meanings (above listed) to the pentacles. The prime example here is
nature itself. All of these elements can be found in nature, and this
is the backbone of the pentacles message.

Nature is a vast web of generosity, bounty, and balance. Look around
at the simplest wonders in our physical world: A tree, flower, a blade
of grass. Their very existence is the purest expression of generosity.

Nature is a cornucopia filled with gifts of grace. To use the ?reap as
we sow? analogy, we as humans have the ability to enhance these gifts
by properly sowing our seeds in fertile soils and tending to them
diligently.

Among your Tarot pentacle associations of health, wealth, and physical
properties, also consider the deeper meanings provided by the earth
and nature itself.

Tarot Card Meaning

Some keywords for the Two of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning:

Flow

Trust

Travel

Motion

Balance

Well-being

Preparation

Utilizing skill

Combination

Contemplation

Thought before action

At the heart of the Two of Pentacles is the feeling of flexibility.
Pentacles represent the element of earth. Within this suit's realm,
our attention is drawn to grounding effects, and matters of a physical
nature.

However, the this card purposefully reveals an ethereal quality. We
see this in the woozy water waves that undulate in the background the
card.

Further, we see the prominent lemniscate (infinity symbol) wrapped
around each of the Pentacles.

The physicality of Pentacles (stability, earth) juxtaposed with the
more intangibles of water and the infinite is a clear message of
combination and unification on an energetic level.

When the 2 of Pentacles shows up in a reading, it is a calling to:

Strike a balance

Travel beyond the conventional to reach your goals

Consider the infinite channels of energy that provide you well-being

Root yourself in your mission statement while trusting in the flow of
your higher purpose to transport you

These points are the cause for that pensive look on our character's
face in the Two of Pentacles card. He is contemplating the vehicles
that will move him to his greatest, most balanced, and longest lasting
reward.

A few symbol meanings on for the Two of Pentacles card:

click for a larger view of all cards with the Lemniscate symbol

Lemniscate: The lemniscate (also known as the infinity symbol) is a
geometrical represetation of the endless and eternal nature of energy.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it simply continues on forever
in motion. The symbol meanings of this emblem serve to remind us of
the infinite nature of our spirit, as well as our thoughts. When this
symbol comes to our attention it may be a message that we should
consider the consequences of our thoughts and deeds - the effects of
which can be infinite. See other cards with the lemniscate here.

click for a larger view of all cards with the Ship symbol

Ship: Yes, of course ship symbol meanings deal with travel and
journey's. However a commonly overlooked factor is the medium upon
which they sail - water - it deals with the deeper levels of the
psyche and the subconscious. When Ships sail across your vision in a
reading, take into consideration where your thoughts (psyche) are
traveling - what kind of baggage (cargo) are you carrying around, and
are you charting (navigating) out the best course for your thoughts
and emotions? View cards with ships here.

Some questions the Two of Pentacles ask us:

Am I prepared for the journey I'm taking?

What are my upper-most thoughts, and how are the affecting my path?

How can I use my skills to navigate to my desires?

Personal note:

When I see this card in a reading I'm drawn in by the cross at the
center of the lemniscate.

In most card renditions, this cross meets at the character's heart
chakra. This is a symbolic, intuitive "hit" indicating whatever is at
the heart of the querent's request also hold the solution to his/her
conflict.

Within that ribbon of infinite energy is a connection point that
launches motion. It is within the crux of the matter (the contrast or
conflict) where we find our launching pad for achievement.

Two of Pentacles

The image portrayed here is of a glade in the forest with a large
mushroom. A Fairy wearing a red pointed beret leaning over the red top
of the mushroom is kissing a lovely young girl, also one of the
enchanted people.

The picture could easily be entitled: "Idyll in the forest", as it is
so enchanting!

Observing closely however, it can be seen that this is the suit of
Bells that identify this card and we know they refer to the element
Earth and to the world of work and business. This little scene
therefore, even if delicate, is in its entirety rather out of place
and altogether in the wrong context.

The young Fairy therefore is a little absent-minded, a little unaware.
He is not intending to do any harm but is obviously neglecting his
work and obligations to instead court his beloved. This clearly is not
a negative card if it appears in your oracle. In fact, together with
other positive cards, it could refer to small annoyances getting in
the way of favourable events.

It could also announce the arrival of a letter or a telephone call,
that could alert you to something important.

Card upright: delay of a project or a payment or the conclusion of a
transaction.

Reversed: small troubles coming; advice against gambling or placing
bets of any type.

The Two of Disks

The Lord of Change is a card that indicates the necessity of constant
change in life if we are not to stagnate. It often marks a turning
point - a new job, a shift of fortune, a move of home.

Disks are an earthy suit, covering matters of material life, and the
manifest Universe. If you look at the planet we live on, though in
itself it seems solid and predictable (less so in recent years, mind
you) it is in a constant state of change and movement. It turns in
space, and if it did not, we'd all be very unhappy with the
consequences. The cycle of seasons swings past us each and every year.
The tides ebb and rise. Constant change is natural, normal and
positive.

We do, though, often fear change in our lives. We will struggle
against anything that appears to alter the pre-planned pattern we have
applied to our future. But that's exactly what this card does -
instigates change. Sometimes we think that the change is bad - and on
the face of it, it may appear to be - yet whenever the 2 of Disks
appears, it's warning us that change has become imperative. Something
is stagnating, demanding to be broken down and made over.

It's worth remembering that if you resist the change advocated by the
Lord of Change, you might find that life imposes it upon you anyway -
and then you'll feel the effects either of the Death card, or the
Tower. When this card appears, it demands a thorough re-assessment of
your overall position and willingness to go with the chances that come
your way.

The card is especially strengthened by cards like Fortune, and
positive Disks and Wands. You can usually track down which area of
life it applies to by looking at the cards that surround it - Cups
would suggest you need to look at your emotional life. Disks would
imply that it's either your working or financial area that needs
attention. Swords would probably indicate conflict around whatever
changes you need to make, and may point to a need for clear
communication. Wands would be more connected with your own application
of Will, and the way you are trying to build your life. Major Arcana
cards would suggest an inner, more spiritual area needs to be looked
at.

Working with the Two of Disks

The Lord of Change brings in a necessary breath of fresh air to sweep
away stagnation, and brush the dust off the things we need to get
done. Everything is constantly changing around us.

My favourite example of change is the sky......so on a day ruled by
the Lord of Change, go and watch the sky. Look at the way it alters in
every single moment. Never for more than a few seconds does it create
the same pattern.

This is a revelation of the inner you....... constantly changing,
growing, expanding, altering. Your body cells change in every living
second. Your thoughts flash faster than computer messages. Your memory
stores a vast wealth of information, and is steadily adding more and
more. This day that you now experience will never come
again....tomorrow will be different, because you are.

Some people are afraid of change and alternation in life..... Some
people spend too much energy trying to keep things the same...... But
you would not consider fixing the sky in any one final pattern would
you? So.....don't do it to yourself. Allow excitement and joy to run
alongside change in your life.....and you will get so much more out of
everything.

Affirmation: I celebrate my growth and power.

TWO OF PENTACLES

The suit of Pentacles represents the element earth. This is the suit
through which we can appreciate what we have been given and it shows
how we experience the external world.

Pentacles can represent money matters, resources, security, material
concerns, prosperity, wealth, service, status, and physical
experiences in the body.

Twos represent formation, duality, balance, partnership, dilemmas,
choices, competing or combined forces, conflict, see-saw, creativity
not yet fulfilled, refection. The number two represents yin energy and
promotes co-operation, partnership, friendship and receptivity.

recreation and its connexions, which is the subject of the design; but

agitation, trouble, embroilment.

Reversed: Enforced gaiety, simulated enjoyment, literal sense,
handwriting, composition, letters of exchange.

Two: Troubles are more imaginary than real. Reversed: Bad omen,

On This Day:

Monday January 30, 2012

This is the 30th day of the year, with 336 days remaining in 2012.

Fact of the Day: jazz and blues

Jazz is a musical form, often improvisational, developed by
African-Americans and influenced by both European harmonic structure
and African rhythmic complexity. It also is often characterized by its
use of blues and speech intonations. Blues denotes a secular folk
music of African-Americans. It has origins in the Mississippi Delta in
the early 20th century. As a musical style the blues are characterized
by expressive pitch inflections (blue notes), a three-line textual
stanza of the form AAB, and a 12-measure form. Typically the first two
and a half measures of each line are devoted to singing, the last
measure and a half consisting of an instrumental "break" that repeats,
answers, or complements the vocal line. Blues and jazz are closely
related; such seminal jazzmen as Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong
employed blues elements in their music.

Holidays

Feast day of St. Martina, St. Bathildis, St. Adelelmus or Aleaume, St.
Aldegundis, St. Barsimaeus, and St. Hyacintha Mariscotti.

Wordsmith.org The Magic of Words

Jan 30, 2012

This week's theme

Dickensian characters that became words

This week's words

wellerism

Sam Weller from Charles Dickens's novel Pickwick Papers

Sam Weller

Illustrator: Kyd (Joseph Clayton Clarke) (1856-1937)

A.Word.A.Day with Anu Garg

Next week marks the 200th anniversary of the British novelist Charles
Dickens's birth. The London of Dickens's time was a bleak place:
little social support, debtor's prisons, pollution, and children
working in factories.

If you look at the Republican presidential aspirants today you'd think
they want to return to those good old times: no environmental
regulations; no worker protection laws; no social safety net; and
children working as janitors.

As a child Charles himself was forced to work in a boot polish
factory. All that he saw around him and experienced is reflected in
his novels. It's a sign of an author's genius when his characters step
out of the stories and become words in the language. Dozens of
Dickens's characters are now part of the English language. This week
we'll meet five of them.

Contest: Can you come up with an original wellerism? Send it in to the contest.

Prizes: Best entries will receive their choice of any of the following prizes:

o Word game: One Up!

o T-shirt: AWAD to the wise is sufficient

o Any of my books

How to Enter: Send your entries to contest@wordsmith.org by this
Friday. Be sure to include your location (city/state/country).
Selected entries will be featured in this weekend's AWADmail.

To get you primed, here are a few wellerisms from me:

"So far, so good," said the escapee as he looked at the prison in the distance.

"Beauty is only skin deep," said the woman as she received a Botox injection.

wellerism

PRONUNCIATION:

(WEL-uh-ri-zuhm)

MEANING:

noun: An expression involving a familiar proverb or quotation and its
facetious sequel. It usually comprises three parts: statement,
speaker, situation.

Examples:

"We'll have to rehearse that," said the undertaker as the coffin fell
out of the car.

"Prevention is better than cure," said the pig when it ran away from
the butcher.

ETYMOLOGY:

After Sam Weller and his father, characters known for such utterances
in Charles Dickens's novel Pickwick Papers. Earliest documented use:
1839.

USAGE:

"A particularly telling example of a wellerism discussed by Dundes is
the following:

'Shall I sit awhile?' says the parasite before becoming a permanent dweller."

Wolfgang Mieder; Alan Dundes; Western Folklore (Long Beach,
California); Jul 2006.

Explore "wellerism" in the Visual Thesaurus.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the human heart can
hold. -Zelda Fitzgerald, novelist (1900-1948)

"The signs accompanying grace are much joy, peace, love, and truth.
Such truth impels man to seek truth. But the signs of sin are
accompanied by turmoil, not joy and love toward God. Take the example
of the plant endive. It looks like lettuce. But the latter is sweet,
the former bitter. Also in the matter of grace, some things resemble
truth, and then there is the very substance of truth. Similarly, there
is the ray of the sun and the sun itself."

St. Macarius the Great.

"Therefore You are great, O Lord God. For there is none like You, nor
is there any God besides You." 2 Samuel 7:22

---------------------------------------------------------------

The Bible reading for the 21st of Toba, January 30th, is:
39 Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with
haste, to a city of Judah, 40 and entered the house of Zacharias and
greeted Elizabeth. 41 And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the
greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was
filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 Then she spoke out with a loud voice
and said, Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of
your womb! 43 But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my
Lord should come to me? 44 For indeed, as soon as the voice of your
greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45
Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those
things which were told her from the Lord. 46 And Mary said: My soul
magnifies the Lord, 47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. 48
For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; For behold,
henceforth all generations will call me blessed. 49 For He who is
mighty has done great things for me, And holy
is His name. 50 And His mercy is on those who fear Him From generation
to generation. 51 He has shown strength with His arm; He has scattered
the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He has put down the
mighty from their thrones, And exalted the lowly. 53 He has filled the
hungry with good things, And the rich He has sent away empty. 54 He
has helped His servant Israel, In remembrance of His mercy, 55 As He
spoke to our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed forever. 56 And Mary
remained with her about three months, and returned to her house. (Luke
1:39-56)
The Dormition of Our Lady, the Virgin Mary, the Theotokos.
Departure of St. Hilaria, Daughter of Emperor Zeno.
Departure of St. Gregorius (Gregory of Nyssa), Brother of St. Basil the Great.
