2 of Pentacles. Old English Tarot

Key Symbols and Their Meanings 1. The Two Coins (Pentacles) · The Symbol: Two large, golden, segmented coins dominate the centre of the card. They feature a cross design reminiscent of medieval English hammered coinage (like old silver pennies), divided into quarters with small clusters of dots. · The Meaning: Representing the element of Earth, these symbolize material resources, finances, physical energy, and time. The vertical alignment suggests a choice, a hierarchy of priorities, or the act of keeping two separate areas of life upright and stable. ·   2. The Sailing Ship on Choppy Water · The Symbol: A single-masted wooden boat navigating a body of water below the coins. · The Meaning: Ships represent commerce, trade, journeys, and life's ventures. The water beneath it indicates the emotional currents or external circumstances we must navigate. It symbolizes that while you are managing your daily tasks, your larger life projects are still actively "in transit" and subject to the ups and downs of changing tides. ·   3. The Vine Borders and Ivy-like Foliage · The Symbol: Delicate, curling green vines with scalloped leaves frame the central scene, growing from the bottom up and weaving through an ornate medieval border. · The Meaning: Vines symbolize growth, adaptation, and interconnectedness. They represent the organic way we must bend, flex, and grow around obstacles to maintain our footing. It emphasizes that flexibility is a natural, healthy state of being. ·   4. The Distant Town/Castle on the Hill · The Symbol: A small, fortified settlement nestled on the green hills across the water. · The Meaning: This represents stability, security, and the long-term goals or community structures you are working toward. It serves as a reminder of the ultimate destination or the "safe harbour" behind your current daily hustle. ·   General Symbolism of the Image The overarching theme of the Two of Coins (traditionally the Two of Pentacles) is the art of balance and adaptability. Unlike the Rider-Waite deck, which depicts a man actively juggling the coins in a state of high energy, the Old English Tarot presents a more serene, grounded interpretation of the same concept. · Harmonious Management: The balanced placement of the coins, suspended perfectly in the air, suggests a more poised, calculated approach to managing multiple responsibilities. It implies that you can handle what is on your plate, provided you stay centred. · · Fluctuation and Flow: The juxtaposition of the steady coins above and the moving ship below highlights the contrast between internal focus and external volatility. Life's circumstances will change (like the waves under the boat), but success lies in maintaining your own internal equilibrium. · · The Cycle of Effort: It captures the day-to-day dance of dualities: balancing work and play, income and expenses, or personal life and professional ambition. It is a gentle reminder that balance is not a static state, but a continuous, active process of adjustment.

Article By Lucien Greaves

Did anyone else catch the e-mail from the Satanic Temple? It's getting pretty good. Hopefully they don't sue me over this but I do have to share. You people might want to stop being Christian Liabilities and join their mailing list your own goddamned selves. That reminds me: I am to sue the living fuck out of any and all Christians claiming any form of relationship to me be it friend, family, neighbor, or fellow countryman. Then we need to kill those who claim to be my baby mammas, spouses, or lovers.

We remind the Fraudulent Courtrooms & Business Circles of Kansas...

The Futility of Disclosure

“Disclosure” has long been foretold by the prophets of UFOlogy who, like apocalyptic millenarians warning of “Rapture,” advise that believers should prepare for its ever-imminent, reality-shifting arrival. And, like those prophets of Rapture, the prophets of Disclosure have never seemed to interpret current events as anything other than necessary precursors. Major world events have been mere preludes. Disclosure is to be the day in which everybody learns the truth. The day in which the government will reveal all that it knows about UFOs and the extraterrestrials that pilot them. The day that we will learn that we are not alone, and humanity will claim a place in some type of intergalactic alliance of intelligent life.

On Friday, the Pentagon began releasing its UFO files (with UFOs now rebranded as UAPs, or “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena,” as if this adds specificity or clarity). The current presidential administration, with its characteristic stupidity, and its appeal to conspiracists, likely believed this would boost its popularity. In this, I believe, the administration will be as disappointed as the Prophets of Disclosure who will surely object that the UAP Pentagon files lack substantial revelations of human-extraterrestrial contact that years of speculative myth-making have convinced them to be common knowledge amongst those few possessing the highest levels of government clearance.

UFO enthusiasts, however, are a diverse bunch, and the Prophets of Disclosure, invested in specific narratives about past and future events from which reality is unlikely to dissuade them, comprise only one subset. And even this subset does not uniformly subscribe to a specific theory as to what exactly is awaiting Disclosure. Some believe the extraterrestrials are malevolent, that they seek to hybridize with humans, and/or subjugate humanity. Others believe that the extraterrestrials are possessed of a “higher consciousness,” or that they “resonate” on a “higher vibrational plane,” and that they have patiently been awaiting humanity’s evolutional readiness to be brought into a new way of being. Far and away on the other end of the spectrum are those who refuse to speculate about the nature and motives of the pilots of UFOs, but obsessively merely seek data related to anomalous aerial activity with a mind toward solving the mystery.

Those seeking new data, rather than validation for their specific claims, will surely have much to pore over with the Pentagon releases, which will be continuing “on a rolling basis,” according to the White House. The New York Times reports that the “initial files are murky images that show what could be anything,” and it could be that The New York TImes actually looked at the images, though this is not necessarily the case, given the paper’s hideously unreliable quality. Murky images, however, leave much room for speculation.

What will this all mean for UFOlogy, that broad population comprised of conspiracists, hobbyists, data-hoarders, prophets of invasive ET doom, and preachers of interplanetary Utopias? Probably almost nothing. With or without “disclosure,” UFOlogy has become increasingly anachronistic since the 1980s, and I suspect it is, in many ways, on the decline. The more time passes, the less credible are the breathless claims from rural observers who swear they saw an airborne object darting through the sky in a fashion unachievable by current human technology. Today, one might easily suspect a twelve-year old with a drone. Chinese spy balloons may be upgraded with more advanced propulsion. Or it could be any number of the mundane misinterpretations of everyday airborne activity that characterized debunked claims past. In any case, there are increasingly fewer aerial displays that can be said to be outside the realm of human capability.

For the hard core conspiracists, however, the content of the disclosure is less important than the magnitude. Given a sufficient number of documents, confusion sets in, and those invested in specific narratives feel emboldened to claim validation without clear citation. In this, the recent release of the Epstein files serves as an apt example. With approximately 3.5 million pages released from the federal files related to the Epstein case, precisely none of them have been found to say anything about Satanism, Occultism, or sexual abuse as a prescribed ceremonial rite attached to a codified, organized, yet underground religious movement. And yet somehow, the claim that Epstein was involved in “ritual abuse” appears to have proliferated even more dramatically after the release of the files, with the files generally cited (in total) as having validated this claim.

Of course, remaining redactions are as good as no disclosure at all to those who retain the belief that their preferred narratives are still concealed behind a veil of official secrecy, and no doubt UAP files will still necessarily be full of bold, black lines. It always struck me as more than a little ludicrous that so much UFO speculation was centered on aerial activities witnessed near top-clearance government testing sites, exactly where experimental aircraft and airborne weapon systems would be first evaluated. The claim here, sometimes, is that extraterrestrials are given official sanction and may land and interact with government human representatives at these sites. Some claim to believe that the phenomena witnessed at these sites is too far advanced to be attributable to human technology and must be the result of the government having gotten hold of otherworld technology. Some claim to know that extraterrestrial lifeforms, dead or alive, are kept and studied at these bases.

The Pentagon releases generated much less publicity than one might have anticipated. The Economist said nothing of it. Even the gullible hacks at The New York Times were immediately unimpressed. Those who are sure they already know what the government has concealed from the public will continue to believe that the truth is hidden, that disclosure about extraterrestrial contact has been further covered-up by this UAP file “distraction.” Some will surely simply decide that the files are evidence for whatever they believe, regardless of what the files actually say. In all, the release of the files will change little to nothing at all, and the Prophets of Disclosure will return to eagerly anticipating the imminent day of Judgement.
