One Year Later: Uncommon Universes Authors

Today I want to shout out all the UUP authors (or were-to-be UUP authors) and their epic releases, re-releases, and where you can find them and their books! A year ago many of us were saddened by the doors closing at Uncommon Universes Press, a beloved small press run by Janeen Ippolito, Sarah Delena White, and A.C. Williams. (Shoutout to them for running such a wonderful press for so many…

I’m sorry if you’ve already done this, but what’s the general plot of your upcoming fics by title? I can’t wait to read them 🫶

I only have two upcoming fics actually in progress right now and I am happy to talk about them a bit!

A Momentary Radiance - RadioApple For a while I just called this the Southern Gothic. It's another canon-adjacent Alastor-meets-Lucifer-before-he-dies AU. In the wake of his mother's death and struggling in just about every way, Alastor lands on the unhinged idea of making a deal with the devil, and sells Lucifer his soul. Seven years later, the father who never acknowledged him has died, leaving behind a legitimate family that Alastor decides it's time to meet. There's a Southern Gothic trope of the malevolent stranger, who seems good but has evil intentions and brings ruin to a family, and I'm playing on that. Add in the romance between Alastor and Lucifer and we should have a good time together!

And all disastrous things - Alacest The one-shot that has possessed me and is being written right now so I can move on with my week. Human!Alastor with demon!Alastor, and a dash of the shadow. It has no plot, I explain nothing, and it's mostly sex. But the western fandom is really sleeping on Alacest and I am doing my part for the cause. You guys trust me, right? Have I ever steered you wrong before? That's what I thought.

If you're curious at all about the titles, A Momentary Radiance comes from a piece of stage direction in Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie ("like a piece of translucent glass touched by light, given a momentary radiance, not actual, not lasting").

"And all disastrous things" is a fragment plucked from A.C. Swinburne's poem "The Garden of Proserpine". It fits the vibe.

I hope you enjoy the stories when they're out! <3

Wanted Site Connection:

Born on the fifth day of the seventh moon of the year 117 a.c., Violet Vance is the fifth child of Lord Triston Vance and Lady Roslin Vance. As the daughter of one of the most ambitious couples of the realm, it wasn't a surprise when the youngest girl of the Vance house was betrothed to Prince Viserys Targaryen, Queen Rhaenyra's second youngest son. She is very close with her eldest sister, Lacey, who is always quick to praise her talent for sewing embroidery, which she shares with most of the women in her family, though her sisters and mother have remarked she may one day be the best of all of them. It is often claimed she comes off far beyond her years, with her great love of learning and her nose is always stuck in a book; the main passion she shares with her betrothed and one of her best friends, Prince Vis. Violet is easily the most extroverted of her family and has had a talent to charm almost everyone around her, She is particularly close with her two eldest siblings, Ser Willam and Lady Lacey, as well as Queen Rhaenyra's children, as all three of them were raised at court due to her mother, Roslin being Queen Rhaenyra's longest serving Lady in Waiting. She thrives in the busy enviornment of King's Landing's court, and has served as the cupbearer for the now Crown-Prince Jacaerys Velaryon-Targaryen, for the past three years. Due to her extroverted personality, Violet is a very popular friend amongst her peers, but foremost amongst them is Marla Grafton, the youngest child of Lord Willum and Lady Cissy, and since Marla's older brother Ser Robin is bethroded to Violet's older sister Lady Lacey, as well as being best friends, they'll be good sisters when her siblings marry. Despite her young age, she is perhaps a little too perceptive for everyone's comfort, and at times doesn't know when it's best to leave a remark unsaid, leading to the refrain that Violet is too clever for her own good. Suggested faceclaim: Georgie Henley in The Narnia Chronicles

Note: Character traits, faceclaim, and details are suggestions and can be reworked to a certain extent if discussed with the current members of the RP!

Violet is particularly wanted by her mother, Lady Roslin Vance, eldest brother, Ser William, and eldest sister, Lady Lacey, as well as by Prince Vis, Princess Rhaena, Prince Joffrey, Jocie Connington, and Princess Visenya

What are the orders/procedures for careening a ship?

Hi,

the process is initiated with the command hove down, which means that a ship is deliberately laid on its side. If it was possible, the whole thing was done in the dockyard basin, where the rigging was fitted with a special rope construction and pulled to one side with the help of a capstan, rope and pulley.

The bark Sunbeam, 19th century

For additional security, thick timbers were passed through the gun ports to provide additional bracing for the iower masts, which were used to pull the ship further down. This allowed the hull to be cleaned, repaired or painted. Incidentally, to safely rid the hull of weeds and barnacles, burning was used.

Burning off the ship, by A.C. Williams, c. 1962

This meant that fires of furze, fagots or reeds were made, followed by scraping clean and painting with a mixture of time, tallow and sulphur.

Well, I hope this helps you and have a nice day.

Don't worry! Hailey's On It! She's here to save the world and the final task of the the list to save the future depends in one kiss! 📓✅🌴

“Hailey’s On It!,” an original animated comedy-adventure series from Disney Branded Television & Disney Television Animation, will premiere Thursday, June 8 (8:00 p.m. EDT/PDT), on Disney Channel, Disney XD and next day on Disney+. 

From creators and executive producers Devin Bunje and Nick Stanton (”Phineas And Ferb”,”Shorty McShort Shorts: Mascot Prep”), the series, set in Oceanside, California, follows Hailey as she is pushed outside her comfort zone to discover the greatness that lies within.

Judy Alice Lee (“He-Man and the Masters of the Universe”) as Scott’s younger sister, Becker

Amanda Leighton (”Amphibia Franchise”) as the most popular girl in school, Kristine

Joy Osmanski (The CW “Stargirl”) as Scott’s mom, Sunny

Nico Santos (“Tuca and Bertie”) as Hailey’s classmate, Jonathan

The star-studded guest cast includes Brian Jordan Alvarez (Univeral Studios “M3GAN”), Blake Anderson (“Dreamworks Animation Television Voltron: Legendary Defender”),Mick Foley (WWE World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Famer),Jo Koy (”Live from the LA Forum”),Jack McBrayer (“Amphibia Franchise”,Wander Over Yonder”), Bebe Neuwirth (“Tick, Tick... Boom!”,Cartoon Network Studios “Over The Garden Wall”), Chris Parnell (“21st Jump Street”,“Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers”), Tim Robinson (“Big City Greens Franchise” “Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers”), Natasha Rothwell (Paramount Pictures “Sonic The Hedgedog Franchise”), Brandon Mychal Smith (Nickelodeon Animation Studios “Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”), Martin Starr (Marvel Studios “Spiderman” Franchise) and Weird Al Yankovic (”Milo Murphy’s Law”).

Additionally, several “Theme Song Takeover,” “Broken Karaoke”,”How NOT To Draw” and “Chibi Tiny Tales” shorts featuring characters from the series will begin rolling out in July on Disney Channel, Disney Channel YouTube, and DisneyNOW. Hailey,Scott & Beta will make apperances on Chibiverse Season slated for Fall 2023.

“Hailey’s On It!” features music from a cross-section of popular genres, from K-Pop to musical theater to pop-rock to EDM. A digital soundtrack with six original songs is set for release on June 9 on Walt Disney Records.

2024 Academy Award Best Picture Nominees Guide For Those Who Haven’t Actually Watched Them

In a year when the names of pretty much every movie are combinations of random, non-descript words, and with a lineup of films that few people did actually watch or even legitimately know what they’re about (except Barbenheimer) - the Academy really tested the flimsy premise of this now decade-old bit.

But tis the season! So sing along with me! My awards have a first name, it’s O-S-C-A-R!

My awards have a second name, it’s C-O-R-P-O-R-A-T-E-H-O-L-L-Y-W-O-O-D-W-I-L-L-S-O-O-N-B-R-E-A-K-I-T-S-P-R-O-M-I-S-E-T-O-T-H-E-U-N-I-O-N-S-A-N-D-C-R-E-A-T-E-A-L-L-O-F-T-H-E-S-E-M-O-V-I-E-S-W-I-T-H-A-I-I-N-T-H-E-F-U-T-U-R-E!

So, let’s dive in for this 10th rundown of the Best Picture nominees!

American Fiction

What Florida Governor Ron DeSantis calls critical race theory.

3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert:

German Fiction is what those who planned to vote for DeSantis call Zone of Interest.

If this wins, Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty will announce it as La La Land.

Tracee Ellis Ross plays the role of Dr. Lisa Ellison. Other original names for characters were Myra Lucretia Taylor as Dr. Mary Lucretiason, Michael Cyril Creighton as Dr. Thomas Cyrilson and Sterling K. Brown as Dr. William K.-son.

Anatomy of a Fall

About 6-foot-2 and roughly 200 pounds at the time that he slapped Chris Rock at this awards show in 2022. 

3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert:

You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris? They call it Anatomie D'Une Cheese.

I thought it was a bit lazy that in order to play the half-blind son, director Justine Triet just put an eye-patch on Milo Machado-Graner and exclaimed, “Mon Dieu! Ze garçon is now half blind. Voir!

Eric Clapton’s least favorite Best Picture nominee.

Barbie

A sharp and immensely profitable attack upon the patriarchy and a film that became a rallying cry for female empowerment in Hollywood that garnered no Best Director or Best Actress nominations but nabbed a nom for penis-owning actor Ryan Gosling.

3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert:

Hi Barbie!

One day during childhood, I agreed to play Barbies with my two sisters and my brother. But we played Saved By The Bell with Ken as Zack Morris, an Aladdin doll as A.C. Slater and various Barbies as Kelly, Jessie and Lisa. It was civil until I got bored and used another Ken doll to be Screech and all of a sudden gave him the power (ironically…Screech's last name was Powers) to fly and then pretended he was flying over the Dream House and farting and pooping down (also ironically in light of Dustin Diamond’s later activities) on everyone causing my sisters to scream at me while I cackled with laughter. Not really a joke. Just a real crystalized childhood memory that I'm sadly still kind of proud of and also still think is very funny.

Next year, the Polly Pocket movie will be a tremendous hit, break down traditional gender norms, and Austin Butler will be the only one nominated for an Oscar for playing Paul E. Pocket.

The Holdovers

A story about a group that has nowhere to go after they are abandoned in New England…the 2020 Patriots.

3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert:

The lead role called for a “stubborn, curmudgeonly” character and Paul Giamatti just materialized on set.

To achieve Giamatti’s character Paul Hunham’s trademark lazy eye, Alexander Payne enlisted the help of Anatomy of a Fall director Justine Triet who came on set and addressed Giamatti’s right eye, saying, “Bonjour, eye! Do some work, s'il vous plaît. (Pauses for a beat.) Sacre bleu! Ze eye refuses to work. Zis is a lazy eye!”

This is the first collaboration between director Alexander Payne and actor Paul Giamatti since Sideways which now makes sense since there are various points in the film where a character, with absolutely no context or prompting, sips a glass of merlot and spits it on the ground screaming, “Merlot is the worst liquid in the universe!” But it was a bit much when the last scene of the movie was Paul Giamatti looking directly into the camera and saying, “Fuck you, merlot,” before the credits rolled.

Killers of the Flower Moon

Ernest in the Army. Ernest Scared Stupid. Ernest Goes to Jail.

3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert:

Leonardo DiCaprio initially turned down the role when he learned that his romantic interest in the film, Mollie Kyle, was 137 years old, saying, "Maybe without the 7!"

IMDB lists this movie’s runtime in years.

Scorsese rejected composer Robbie Robertson’s first score for the film that included “‘Up on Cripple Creek…Is Where They Found Anna’s Body’”, “I Shall Be Released…Is What King Hale Tells Ernest While In Jail”, “The Weight…Of His Transgressions Caused Ernest to Testify Against His Uncle” and “Ophelia…Is Probably The Name of One of The Background Osage Women Characters, Oh Come On Marty, Just Put It In The Credits, People Love This Song”

Maestro

Seasoned musician Leonard Bernstein (Bradley Cooper) discovers-and falls in love with-struggling actress Felicia Montealegre (Carey Mulligaga). She has just about given up on her dream to make it big as an actress - until Leonard coaxes her into the spotlight. But even as Felicia’s career takes off, the personal side of their relationship is breaking down, as Leonard fights an ongoing battle with his own internal demons. Then, he pisses his pants at the Grammys.

3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert:

Early critical reviews of the trailer focused on the “Anatomy of a Face”.

Just like in “A Star Is Born”, Bradley Cooper took vocal lessons to actually perform Leonard Bernstein's classic “Hallelujah”. (What’s that? There are two Jewish Leonards?)

Cooper spent nearly 45% of the film’s budget on that epic final battle scene between Bernstein and Lydia Tár.

Oppenheimer

Julius Robert Oppenheimer Schmidt! That's my name too! Whenever I got out, the people always shout, “There goes Julius Robert Oppenheimer Schmidt!” Na-na na-na na-na-na!

3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert:

In an alternate scene, it's revealed that the exchange between Oppenheimer and Edison by the pond that caused Albert to react so sadly when walking past Robert Downey Jr. is that Oppenheimer tried to sneak a fart but then said, “Oh no. I just Oppensharted.”

Nolan took some liberties with the true story. In reality, the U.S. killed between 110,000 and 210,000 Japanese citizens…with kindness.

Since ABC does not include the Academy’s Scientific and Technical Awards during the broadcast, we will not see Cillian Murphy’s acceptance speech for Best Seated Mangina.

Past Lives

This film follows the stories of the characters’ souls across time, and the stories are interwoven as they advance, showing how they all interact in their “past lives”. The film explores how people's “past lives” are connected with and influence each other and…wait a second. Nope. That’s Cloud Atlas. (Do not watch Cloud Atlas.)

3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert:

Due to scheduling conflicts with Poor Things, Emma Stone was unable to play the female Asian lead this time.

However, in the North Korean version of the film, Kim Jong Un played the role. And all the other roles. And won all of the Oscars. Ever.

This movie is a prequel to the movie Lives.

Poor Things

From Pixar comes the story of little Sally Sangiovese, a newly bottled red Italian wine who is separated from her Sangio-family and sent to the wine cellar. There, she’ll befriend Nelson Nebbiolo, a wizened red from the Piedmont region who is coming up on 30 years in the cellar but still hasn’t gotten over the loss of his Spanish love, Tia Tempranillo, who was pulled from the cellar for a quinceañera dinner the year prior. Together, the two will hatch a plan to release themselves from the cellar to reunite Sally with her family and Nelson con su amor. Along their adventurous aging process, audiences will discover that even when the bottle appears half-empty, you simply decant dampen the spirit of these…Pour Things!

3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert:

Max McCandles was actually the original name of Lumière from Beauty and the Beast.

Unfortunately this story of a British woman receiving a brain transplant isn’t about J.K. Rowling.

This is the first movie written by new AI trained only on Dr. Seuss books, Kanye West’s Twitter feed and the dreams of Gary Busey.

The Zone of Interest

Rudolf the conflicted Nazi! Had a garden full of rows! Of plants his wife liked to tend to! Horrifically juxtaposed! Then one sunny German day, Hitler came to say, “Rudolf of the triple Reich, won't you Holocaust tonight!” Then, how he wrestled with morality! As he puked and thought, “Why me?!” Rudolf the conflicted Nazi! This one’s really hard for comedy!

3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert…All Word-for-Word What Was Generated by ChatGPT:

The popularity of the film has already led to a sequel, Höss Party 2.

Probably also the title of one of the Mission Impossible movies.

I actually did watch every other movie nominated for Best Picture this year, but The Zone of Interest is the only one I did Nazi!

[sakurajjam]

Chegando com pedido inusitado, mas acho que vcs conseguem me ajudar. Quero fazer um perso da nobreza, mas queria me basear em gente que já existiu, figuras históricas, mas não sei quais são legais, de verdade, podem me ajudar? Dando apenas o nome posso buscar no google, mas é que sou péssima em história e nunca sei quem é legal

O quanto eu amei essa ask não está escrito!! Pompurin, você veio ao lugar certo, porque eu sou o maior dump de história de realeza (ao menos, que eu conheço). Ser legal já tira todo mundo da lista, porque ninguém foi legal, eles podiam ter ações nobres e sociais, mas era por algum interesse mascarado... Nobreza nunca foi simpática, mas as histórias são magnificas. Vou separar alguns nomes para ti. [ meio edit, acho que vai ficar muito extenso, então depois da Rainha Elizabeth II, não coloquei descrições, apenas em alguns específicos. ]

Lady Di, nossa amada Princesa Diana da Inglaterra (1961-1997). Minha amada mais injustiçada, sou a maior apaixonada por tudo que a envolve (já assisti todos os documentários) e ela é um exemplo perfeito de monarca que foi contra as regras da Coroa Britânica.

Kate Middleton (1982). Atual princesa de Gales e esposa do Príncipe William da Inglaterra, além de se mostrar uma mãe exemplar (com semelhanças com sua sogra), também é um exemplo de monarca, porque ela é muito simpática com as pessoas.

Maria Leopoldina da Áustria (1797-1826). Esposa de Dom Pedro I de Portugal-Brasil. Muito importante em muitos momentos do Brasil Império.

Teresa Cristina de Bourbon-Duas Sicília (1822-1889). Imperatriz do Brasil e esposa de Dom Pedro II. Teve uma novela da Globo que mostrou muito dela, uma mãe amorosa e que cuidava de seu império, mas que teve momentos conturbados com o marido lixo.

Pedro II do Brasil (1825-1891). Último imperador do Brasil. Tenho muitos sentimentos controversos sobre o Pedro, todos envolvendo sua gestão e a mulher dele, mas a história dele vai muito além do que aprendemos na escola.

Cleópatra VII Filopator (69 a.C - 30 a.C). Falar da Cleópatra é muito !!!, ela foi uma das poucas mulheres que governaram o Egito (se não a única) e tem muita história, claro que existem as problemáticas, mas ela sempre foi estrategista e sedutora. Até hoje, seu sarcófago não foi localizado, o que indica que tem muito que não sabemos sobre.

Rainha Elizabeth II (1926-2022). Famosa "Betinha" para os brasileiros, tem muito sobre ela que dá raiva, mas ela teve muitos momentos bons na vida e claro, viveu bastante.

Rainha Vitória (1819-1901). Subiu ao trono com apenas 18 anos e tem a chamada Era Vitoriana.

Ana Bolena (1501-1533). Bela e decapitada por mando do marido, responsável pelo corte da relação Igreja X Inglaterra. Aconselho procurar o musical The Six, porque mostra todas as seis esposas do Henrique e como elas são interessantes.

Ricardo I (1157-1199). Ricardo Coração de Leão, tem uma história legal.

Henrique VIII (1491-1547). Um homem que não presta, teve várias esposas e muitas coisas rolaram no mandato dele. Aconselho ver The Tudors.

Catarina de Médici (1519-1589)

Maria Antonieta (1755-1793). Essa mulher... Vivia de luxúria e a frase dos brioches vem dela.

Luís XIV (1638-1715). Rei Sol.

Nefertiti (1370 a. C.-1330 a. C. - estimada). Descrita como a mais bela do mundo.

Mary Stuart (1542-1587)

Catarina II da Rússia (1729-1726). Nunca deixarei a Catarina, a Grande de fora. Outra rainha que admiro demais, apesar dos erros cometidos, ela foi muito sagaz e inteligente em dar um golpe no próprio marido e assumir o trono de Todas as Rússias, mesmo enfrentando grandes problemas. Existem muitos conteúdos sobre ela, mas se quiser rir, aconselho ver a série The Great.

Pedro III da Rússia (1728-1762). Teve um mandato curto porque foi deposto (sofreu O golpe da Catarina), vivia embriagado... Como ele é mostrado em The Great é um pouco demais, talvez, mas tá ali.

Rei George III do Reino Unido (1738-1820). Aquele rei lá de Queen Charlotte, ele tinha uma doença chamada porfiria, mas na época... Bem, só o chamaram de louco mesmo (aquela época era terrível).

Sophie Charlotte de Mecklemburgo-Strelitz (1744-1818). Assim como muitas figuras históricas, ela foi embranquecida, mas Charlotte era filha de portugueses e africanos, mas nasceu na Alemanha e talvez esse seja o motivo... Mas ela foi uma ótima rainha.

São alguns nomes, aqueles que lembrei para pesquisar, mas se pesquisar sobre os monarcas da Europa, com toda a certeza, vai encontrar uma infinidade! Podia falar outros, mas a Joy disse que ia ficar muita informação e ela está certa, acho que se pesquisar por esses já vai encontrar novos nomes que podem ajudar.

El e o culto a Saturno - parte 2

Por Cláudio Suenaga

O símbolo do hexagrama na bandeira de Israel conhecido como “Estrela de Davi”, na verdade é um antigo símbolo de Saturno.

Treze estrelas formam a Estrela de David estampada no verso da nota de um dólar.

O anel de noivado e casamento, que sela e simboliza a união matrimonial, bem como os demais anéis (de formatura, de cardeais e papas, etc.) é uma alusão aos anéis de Saturno,o “Senhor dos Anéis”, motivo pelo qual o escritor católico-ocultista J. R. R. Tolkien chamou sua famosa trilogia de O Senhor dos Anéis (The Lord of the Rings).

O boxe é um culto integral a Saturno. Praticado dentro de um cubo chamado de ring (ou seja, anel), com graus maçônicos e um árbitro, oboxe teve origem no Egito e foi sistematizado na Inglaterra. O vencedor ganha um cinto ou anel com um Sol Negro no centro.

O caixão em que os Papas são enterrados é hexagonal, portanto, o sepultamento é feito em uma forma geométrica saturniana.

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), membro da sociedade secreta Priorado de Sião, conferiu um formato hexagonal ao seu “Homem Vitruviano” (de 1492), conceito apresentado na obra Os Dez Livros da Arquitetura,do arquiteto romano Marco Vitruvio Polião, que viveu no século I a.C. O conceito é um cânone das proporções do corpo humano baseado na proporção áurea.

Empresas e corporações industriais como a Nike (cujo logotipo é um anel de Saturno estilizado), rendem uma adoração descarada a Saturno/Satã.

A banda de heavy metal Black Sabbath (surgido em 1966 em Birmingham, Inglaterra, quando o guitarrista Anthony “Tony” Iommi e o baterista William “Bill” Ward leram em uma loja o anúncio do cantor John “Ozzy” Osbourne que estava à procura de músicos para formar uma banda) tem um nome bem apropriado, já que o Sábado é a celebração de Saturno, cuja cor simbólica no mundo antigo era sempre o preto.

O foguete Saturno V, usado nas missões Apollo para levar os primeiros astronatuas à Lua, desenvolvido pelo ex-nazista Wernher von Braun em Huntsville, Alabama, sob coordenação da IBM, não poderia ter recebido um nome mais apropriado.

A Apple Store (cadeia de lojas de varejo da Apple Inc.) da Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue), no centro de Manhattan, tem a forma de um cubo.

Para quem ainda não relacionou o sólido platônico ao formato hexagonal, tomando apenas a sua forma plana de quatro lados, basta lembrar que um cubo é um hexaedro regular com seis faces, doze arestas e oito vértices. O cubo em latim se refere a Saturno, e nas culturas árabes, a Vênus.

O costume que obriga certos ocupantes de altos postos (sacerdotes, juízes de tribunais, juízes de futebol, militares, maestros, etc.) e aqueles que um dia virão a ocupá-los (graduandos em cerimônias de formatura) a envergarem indumentárias negras, vem do culto a Saturno, o “grande inibidor ou repressor”, a figura autoritária masculina por excelência.

Saturno (do latim Saturnus), deus romano do tempo equivalente ao grego Cronos, com uma foice dada por sua mãe Telo (do latim Tellus), deusa da Terra (na mitologia grega era Gaia, “Terra Mater”), mutilou o pai, Urano, tomando o poder entre os deuses. Foi expulso do Céu por seu filho Júpiter (Zeus) e se refugiou no Lácio (em latim Latium, e em italiano, Lazio, região da Itália central), onde se tornou soberano e fez reinar a Idade do Ouro, cheia de paz e abundância, tendo ensinado aos homens a agricultura. Saturno teria criado divindades como Juno ou Hera e heróis fundadores como Rômulo. É representado com três aspectos distintos: deus barbudo com a foice, jovem deus solar com a cabeça ornada de raios e jovem deus lunar coroado com o crescente.

Os romanos, com receio que o deus abandonasse o seu lugar, prendiam a sua estátua com faixas de lã e não a libertavam senão quando se realizavam as Saturnais ou Saturnáliasno solstício de inverno, daí a sua ligação com o signo de Capricórnio. Nessa época, ele ressuscitava por um certo tempo a Idade de Ouro, e durante uma semana todas as atividades profissionais eram suspensas – até as campanhas militares eram interrompidas – e se realizavam inúmeros banquetes, onde os cidadãos serviam seus escravos. Origem primordial de nosso Carnaval, tais festividades desembocavam em grandes orgias. 

O Natal, que hoje é celebrado na mesma data das Saturnálias, representava a morte e ressurreição do Sol, o Sol Negro.

O nome Roma vem do etrusco Ro (vermelho) e Ma (Mãe). Não é à toa que os Bauers mudaram o sobrenome para Rothschilds (“Escudo Vermelho”). O vermelho é o sangue dos sacrifícios dos rituais satânicos que continuam sendo praticados intensamente, principalmente nos sabbaths, quando se bebe o sangue de bebês e crianças e da menstruação de virgens.

Cronos (que deu origem à palavra crow, em grego corone), filho do Céu (Urano) e da Terra (Gaia, Geia ou Gea), divindade grega da segunda geração de titãs, aliás, o mais jovem dentre eles, corresponde ao romano Saturno e relaciona-se com “Cornos”, o antigo demônio indiano Kroni. A pedido de sua mãe, Cronos se tornou senhor do céu castrando o pai com um golpe de foice. A partir de então, o mundo foi governado pela linhagem dos Titãs. Cronos casou com a sua irmã Reia, que lhe deu três filhas (Héstia, Deméter e Hera) e três filhos (Hades, Poseidon e Zeus).

Durante o reinado de Cronos, a humanidade viveu a sua “Idade de Ouro”. Como tinha medo de ser destronado, Cronos devorava e engolia os filhos ao nascerem. Comeu todos, exceto Zeus, Hades e Poseidon, que Reia conseguiu salvar enganando Cronos enrolando uma pedra em um pano, a qual ele engoliu sem perceber a troca. 

Quando Zeus cresceu, resolveu vingar-se de seu pai. Para tanto, pediu a ajuda de Métis, a Prudência, que ofereceu a Cronos uma poção mágica que o fez vomitar os filhos que tinha devorado.

Zeus (Júpiter para os romanos) tornou-se o Senhor do Céu e a divindade suprema da terceira geração de deuses ao banir os Titãs e afastar o pai do trono. Segundo Homero, Zeus o prendeu com correntes no mundo subterrâneo, onde foi encontrado dez anos depois pelos seus irmãos, os Titãs, que intencionavam reconquistar o poder de Zeus e dos deuses do Olimpo. A Estátua de Zeus na cidade grega de Olímpia, na planície do Peloponeso, esculpida pelo ateniense Fídias no século V a.C., era considerada a quinta maravilha do mundo.

O símbolo astronômico do planeta Saturno é a foice do deus romano Saturno. A representação do esqueleto da morte segurando nos dedos ósseos a foice do ceifeiro, refere-se portanto a Saturno, o pai dos deuses, carregando a foice com a qual mutilou Urano, o seu próprio pai.

As sociedades secretas juntaram o “Martelo de Thor” com a “Foice de Saturno” para formar o símbolo do comunismo do “martelo e da foice”. A foice alude igualmente à Lua crescente do culto lunar, símbolo da religião islâmica juntamente com a estrela da manhã, o planeta Vênus.

A palavra Satã deriva da palavra Saturno. O “grande deus Pan”, a divindade com chifres, representava Saturno. Essa criatura, metade homem e metade bode, é considerado o ancestral de nossas representações modernas de Satanás. Pan foi retratado com chifres devido ao fato de representar Saturno, o regente da casa de Capricórnio, cujo símbolo é uma cabra.

Na literatura hebraica talmúdica, Saturno é Shabbathai, o que deu origem aos termos Shabbat, Shabbos e Sabá (Sábado, em português), o dia de descanso semanal no judaísmo, o sétimo dia após os seis dias de Criação, que é observado a partir do pôr do Sol da sexta-feira até o pôr do Sol do sábado e está ligado ao ciclo lunar. “Sabático” significa “cessar”, “descansar”. O Sábado Santo (The Holy Sabbath) é, na verdade, a adoração ao planeta Saturno, que ganhou essa reputação devido a sua órbita prolongada em torno do Sol. Se você “guarda o Sábado”, está ajudando a manter a antiga adoração a esse deus pagão. É por isso que ele é adorado no Dia de Saturno, dia que chamamos de “Saturday” (Sábado).

O que é o Segredo

BOB PROCTOR

Você provavelmente está se perguntando: "O que é O Segredo?" Eu vou lhe contar como passei a entendê-lo.

Todos nós lidamos com um poder infinito e nos guiamos exatamente pelas mesmas leis. As leis naturais do Universo são tão precisas, que não há dificuldade em construir espaçonaves. Podemos enviar pessoas à Lua, marcando a hora do pouso com a precisão de frações de segundo.

Onde quer que você esteja — índia, Austrália, Nova Zelândia, Estocolmo, Londres, Toronto, Montreal ou Nova York —, todos lidamos com um único poder, uma única Lei: a atração!

O Segredo é a lei da atração!

Tudo o que entra em sua vida é você quem atrai, por meio das imagens que mantém em sua mente. É o que você está pensando. Você atrai para si o que estiver se passando em sua mente.

"Cada pensamento seu é uma coisa real — uma força".

Prentice Mulford (1834-1891)

Os maiores mestres de todos os tempos revelaram que a lei da atração é a lei mais poderosa do Universo.

Poetas como William Shakespeare, Robert Browning e William Blake recitaram-na em seus versos. Músicos como Ludwig van Beethoven expressaram-na em sua música. Artistas como Leonardo da Vinci representaram-na em suas pinturas. Grandes pensadores, entre eles Sócrates, Platão, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Pitágoras, sir Francis Bacon, sir Isaac Newton, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe e Victor Hugo, partilharam-na em seus escritos e ensinamentos. Seus nomes foram imortalizados, e sua existência lendária sobreviveu aos séculos.

Religiões como o hinduísmo, as tradições herméticas, o budismo, o judaísmo, o cristianismo e o islamismo, e civilizações, como a dos antigos babilônios e egípcios, transmitiram-na por meio de seus escritos e histórias. Registrada através das eras em todas as suas formas, a lei pode ser encontrada em textos antigos ao longo de todos os séculos. Ela foi gravada em pedra em 3000 a.C. Muito embora algumas pessoas cobiçassem esse conhecimento, e de fato O cobiçaram, ele sempre esteve lá para ser descoberto por qualquer um.

A lei começou nos primórdios dos tempos. Ela sempre existiu e sempre existirá.

É a lei que determina a completa ordem no Universo, cada momento de sua vida e cada coisa que nela você vivência. Não importa quem você é ou onde está: a todo-poderosa lei da atração dá forma a toda a sua experiência de vida ao ser posta em ação pelos seus pensamentos.

Em 1912, Charles Haanel descreveu a lei da atração como "a maior e a mais infalível lei, da qual depende todo o sistema da criação".

BOB PROCTOR

As pessoas sábias sempre souberam disso. Você pode voltar aos antigos babilônios. Eles sempre souberam disso. Trata-se de um pequeno e seleto grupo de pessoas.

Os antigos babilônios e sua notável prosperidade foram bem documentados pelos estudiosos, e são conhecidos pela criação de uma das Sete Maravilhas do Mundo, os Jardins Suspensos da Babilônia. Por sua compreensão e aplicação das leis do Universo, eles se tornaram um dos povos mais ricos da história.

BOB PROCTOR

Por que você acha que 1% da população ganha cerca de 96% de todo o dinheiro que circula? Você acha que isso acontece por acaso? Isso é planejado assim.

Esse 1 % entende algo. Eles entendem O Segredo, e agora você está sendo

apresentado a ele.

As pessoas que atraíram riqueza para suas vidas usaram O Segredo, consciente ou inconscientemente. Com pensamentos de abundância e riqueza, elas não permitem que nenhum pensamento contraditório se fixe em suas mentes. Seus pensamentos predominantes são de riqueza, que é tudo que conhecem, e não existe mais nada em suas mentes. Estejam ou não a par disso, são seus pensamentos predominantes de riqueza que lhes trazem riqueza. É a lei da atração em ação.

Eis um exemplo perfeito para demonstrar O Segredo e a lei da atração em ação: "você deve conhecer alguém que tenha enriquecido muito, perdido tudo e, em pouco tempo, enriquecido de novo." O que aconteceu, nesses casos, independemente de elas saberem ou não, é que seus pensamentos dominantes estavam concentrados na riqueza; foi assim que, no primeiro momento, elas enriqueceram. Depois, permitiram que pensamentos terríveis de perda entrassem em suas mentes e se transformassem em seus pensamentos dominantes. Fizeram a balança pender de pensamentos de riqueza para pensamentos de perda, e assim perderam tudo. No entanto, após terem perdido toda a riqueza, o medo da perda desapareceu, e elas retomaram pensamentos dominantes de riqueza. E a riqueza retornou.

A lei reage a seus pensamentos, não importa quais sejam.
