something I have been working on for my oc Phanu-EL aka Perfect Boyfriend. He is a demon/ex-archangel. some sneak peek info from his unposted info sheet: A demonic creature that feeds off of relationships that are about to end or have lost their fire. He is a symbolic reminder to appreciate what you can fix or to leave something toxic. Because sadly what will sweeten you out there will also sour you. As for Perfect Boyfriend, he is the definition of there are worse wolves out there that will enjoy tearing you apart for the sake of their own gain and satisfaction. And that's exactly who he targets. Though we all know demons have to be invited and consented to. Summoning him is a welcoming contract, tying him to both you and the bond of your partner. Like many of my vent ocs he isn't something to glorify but a warning oc. He isn't lovable nor can he love himself.

So 2 nights ago I decided to pick up audacity and try and make theme music for my oc. The vocals are mine and so is the script. While there is lyrics I haven't put them in yet. still feeling things out and how to incorporate it into the beat. Also still working on his art among other thang thangs Let me know what yuh think. Also gonna start oc posting again weee

31st December >> Fr. Martin's Homilies / Reflections on Today's Mass Readings (Luke 2:22-40) for the Feast of The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph: ‘God’s favour was with him’.

Feast of The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph

Gospel (Except USA) Luke 2:22-40 My eyes have seen your salvation.

When the day came for them to be purified as laid down by the Law of Moses, the parents of Jesus took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, – observing what stands written in the Law of the Lord: Every first-born male must be consecrated to the Lord – and also to offer in sacrifice, in accordance with what is said in the Law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.

Now in Jerusalem there was a man named Simeon. He was an upright and devout man; he looked forward to Israel’s comforting and the Holy Spirit rested on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death until he had set eyes on the Christ of the Lord. Prompted by the Spirit he came to the Temple and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the Law required, he took him into his arms and blessed God; and he said:

‘Now, Master, you can let your servant go in peace, just as you promised; because my eyes have seen the salvation which you have prepared for all the nations to see, a light to enlighten the pagans and the glory of your people Israel.’

As the child’s father and mother stood there wondering at the things that were being said about him, Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, ‘You see this child: he is destined for the fall and for the rising of many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is rejected – and a sword will pierce your own soul too – so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.’

There was a prophetess also, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was well on in years. Her days of girlhood over, she had been married for seven years before becoming a widow. She was now eighty-four years old and never left the Temple, serving God night and day with fasting and prayer. She came by just at that moment and began to praise God; and she spoke of the child to all who looked forward to the deliverance of Jerusalem.

When they had done everything the Law of the Lord required, they went back to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. Meanwhile the child grew to maturity, and he was filled with wisdom; and God’s favour was with him.

Gospel (USA) Luke 2:22–40 The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom.

When the days were completed for their purification according to the law of Moses, they took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, just as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord, and to offer the sacrifice of a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons, in accordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord.

Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. He came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to perform the custom of the law in regard to him, he took him into his arms and blessed God, saying:

“Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you prepared in sight of all the peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and glory for your people Israel.”

The child’s father and mother were amazed at what was said about him; and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted —and you yourself a sword will pierce— so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived seven years with her husband after her marriage, and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer. And coming forward at that very time, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem.

When they had fulfilled all the prescriptions of the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him.

Homilies (5)

(i) The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph

As a priest I love to celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism. When young parents bring their child to the church for baptism, they are expressing their desire to bring their child to the Lord. They are inviting the Lord into the life of their child. They recognize that connecting their child with the Lord and with the church at such a young age will be beneficial for him or her. As a priest, it is a great privilege to be able to respond to this desire of parents. The most important moment in the liturgy of baptism is when the parents hold their child over the baptismal font, and the priest pours water over the child’s head, saying, ‘I baptize you…’ At that moment something very special is happening for the child. It is a sacred moment when the Holy Spirit is moving in a special way. I like to think that because the Holy Spirit is coming into the life of the young child, all of us present to what is happening are in some way touched by the Spirit.

Today’s gospel reading for the feast of the holy family brought that moment of a child’s baptism to my mind. There, we find a young couple bringing their child to the Temple in Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, just as parents today bring their children to the church for baptism to present them to the Lord. I have often been struck by the presence of grandparents at baptisms. As these grandparents brought their children to the Lord for baptism, those children, now adults, are bringing their children to the Lord, and the grandparents want to be part of this important religious moment. There is no reference to Jesus’ grandparents in today’s gospel reading, but there is mention of a man and a woman, Simeon and Anna. Anna, we are told, is eighty four years of age, having been a widow for much of her adult life. We are not given Simeon’s age, but the sense is that he too has lived a long life. He has been looking forward to Israel’s comforting, probably for many years. When he sees a young couple entering the Temple, he realizes immediately that their child is the one whom God promised to bring God’s comfort not just to Israel but to all the nations. Taking the child in his arms, he prays, ‘Now, Master, you can let your servant go in peace, just as you promised because my eyes have seen the salvation which you have prepared for the nations to see’. He has seen what he had always hoped to see and he is now at peace, ready to leave this world. Simeon is the patron saint of all who, having found meaning at last in their lives, are ready to let go and surrender all to the Lord.

The sense you get from the gospel reading is that this young couple and their child are greatly blessed by the presence of this older man and woman, both of whom are clearly people of God. They are people of prayer whose prayerful presence graces the lives of others. We are told that the Holy Spirit rested on Simeon and that Anna never left the Temple, serving God night and day with fasting and prayer. It is often the way that in a family the lives of children and their parents are blessed by the strong faith of grandparents. Simeon and Anna represent all that is best in the religious tradition of Israel and, likewise, grandparents often represent all that is best in the church’s tradition. As people of prayer, grandparents often keep the light of faith burning brightly within them, and offer it to the generations below them. This is what we find Simeon and Anna doing in the gospel reading. Simeon proclaims to Mary and Joseph the true identity of their child, ‘a light to enlighten the pagans, and the glory of… Israel’.  Anna speaks of the child Jesus to everyone in the Temple who looked forward to the deliverance of Jerusalem.

There is a powerful meeting of the generations in our gospel reading. The young couple and their child touched the lives of Simeon and Anna in a wonderful way, and Simeon and Anna, in turn, touched the lives of this young couple and their child. There is an image here of family life at its best. Within the family, including the family of the church, all the generations are vitally important. We have much to receive from and give to one another, across the generations, especially when it comes to our faith life. The young couple, Mary and Joseph, learned from the elderly man and woman that their child was God’s light for all people. We have all been unlighted by this child and we are called to carry the light of the Lord’s love and peace to one another, in our families and communities, wherever we happen to be on our life’s journey, whether young or old. The family has been described as the domestic church. It is above all in our families that the Lord wants to meet us and touch our lives. None of our families are all holy or perfectly loving. Yet, the Lord is always present there, supporting us in our daily struggle to live good and loving lives.

(ii) Feast of The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph

Most of us will have spent some of Christmas with family members. If that was not possible we probably will have made contact with family members over the Christmas, either by phone, or e-mail or letter. Christmas is very much a family feast. People travel in great numbers to be with their families at Christmas time. The centrality of the family at Christmas time is perhaps because, at some deep level, we are aware that at the heart of this feast of Christmas is a family, what we call the holy family, whose feast we celebrate today. When we refer to the holy family we think of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Yet, when Joseph, Mary and Jesus spoke of the family, it is likely that they had in mind a much larger group than themselves. They would have thought of the extended family of grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, nephews and nieces. Luke in his gospel tells us that Mary and Elizabeth were sisters, and, therefore, that Jesus and John the Baptist were cousins. Elizabeth and her husband Zechariah and their son John were part of Mary and Joseph’s family, along with many others. It was within this wider family that Jesus, in the words of the gospel reading today, ‘grew to maturity and was filled with wisdom’.

Today, the feast of the holy family, is a good day to remember our own families of origin, the family into which we were born, within which, to varying degrees, we grew to maturity and were filled with wisdom. In remembering our families, we think not only of our parents, our brothers and sisters, but also of grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins. We may have mixed feelings about our family. It is rare that someone is totally positive about the family into which they were born and in which they grew to maturity. None of our families were all holy or completely wholesome. They were imperfect communities because the people who composed them were not perfect. Amid all the good memories of family life, it is likely that we will also have some bad memories, some painful memories. For a minority, the memory of their family of origin will be more bad than good.

Today is a day to give thanks for all that was good in our family of origin. We give thanks for the care that nurtured and nourished us when we were too weak and vulnerable to take care of ourselves, for the many sacrifices that were made so that we might have better opportunities in life than earlier generations, for the sense of home that was created and that gave us a feeling of security as we negotiated the tricky journey from childhood to adolescence and from adolescence to young adulthood, for the love that was free to let us go when we needed to move on, while always ready to welcome us home. Today’s feast is also a good day to ask the Lord to help us to forgive what needs forgiving in our experience of family, a day when we ask him for the freedom to let go of whatever resentments may be oppressing us, a day when we pray to him for the healing of any hurts that family members may have inflicted on us.

No matter where we are in our life-journey, whether we are still within our family of origin or whether we have long moved on from our family, the Lord continues to call us to grow to maturity, in the words of the gospel reading today. We are all a little like Abraham in the second reading. According to that reading, he heard ‘the call to set out for a country that was the inheritance given to him’. We too are called to set out for a country that is given to us as our inheritance. We are constantly being called to set out towards our heavenly inheritance. It is only in heaven that, as St. Paul says, we will be conformed to the image of God’s Son. That is the goal of our journey, our inheritance, to be conformed to the image of God’s Son, to grow up into Christ.

Our families of origin can set us on the road towards that goal, that destination, but the journey continues throughout our lives. God never ceases to call us to grow up into Christ, to become more and more Christ-like, and it is never too late to heed that call, to make a new effort to travel that journey. It is a journey we travel in the power of the Spirit, because it is the Holy Spirit who shapes and moulds us into the person of Christ. The gospel reading today puts before us two elderly people who have travelled far on that journey, a man and a woman of the Spirit, Simeon and Anna. They were prayerful people, very attuned to God’s presence, and the words they spoke to others were full of promise and truth. They exemplify what it means to grow old gracefully. To grow old gracefully is to grow towards becoming the Christ-like person we will be in eternity. This is the journey the Lord is constantly asking us to set out on. We pray this morning for the grace to be faithful to that calling, like Simeon and Anna.

(iii) Feast of The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph

We have just celebrated the feast of Christmas. For most of us it is a time when we connect with the members of our family. At least for Christmas dinner we try to gather as family. Because family is important to us around Christmas time, we tend to feel the absence of family members more intensely at this time of the year. Christmas can be a very difficult time for those who have been recently bereaved. Our experience of family changes over the years. For those who get married and start a family of their own, their new family becomes more significant over time that their family of origin, especially as siblings move away and start families of their own. For those who do not get married and remain single, their family of origin tends to be more significant. Brothers and sisters can become important, especially after parents have died.

Throughout our lives, whether we are married or single, family remains important to us. Our experience of family will differ for each of us. None of us have a completely positive experience of family. As well as being places of warmth, love and support, our families can also be places of conflict, suffering and anguish. Yet, even the negative experience of family does not break completely the bond that we feel with family members. The family is such a fundamental human experience that we can never break free of our families completely, and, hopefully, most of us would not want to. Pope Francis said recently that all of humanity passes through the family. To that extent, the health of humanity is greatly dependant on the health of the family. At its best, the family is a communion of love, created by the loving commitment of a husband and wife to each other all the days of their lives.

Today’s feast of the Holy Family reminds us that Jesus was born into a family. The Word became flesh as a member of a family, a family that included not just parents, but grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. At the end of this morning’s gospel reading, it is said that within his family in Nazareth of Galilee the child Jesus grew to maturity, and was filled with wisdom and God’s favour was with him. Three elements are mentioned there which give us a lovely description of family life at its best - maturity, wisdom and God’s favour. The family provides us with an environment where we can grow to maturity, not just physically, but emotionally, intellectually, spiritually, relationally. It is a place where we imbibe some of the wisdom we need to negotiate the journey of life. There is a great emphasis on knowledge today, and rightly so. Knowledge of all sorts is so much more accessible than it used to be. Yet, more fundamental than knowledge is wisdom, that quality which allows us to discern what is good, right, noble, true and loving, and then to act accordingly. Within his family in Nazareth, Jesus grew to maturity and was filled with wisdom. His family was also the place where God’s favour rested on him. At its best, our family is a place where we experience something of God’s loving favour. We speak of marriage as a sacrament. The love of husband and wife makes present the love of Christ for his church, the love of God for all humanity. The experience of family is our best opportunity to be graced by God’s loving favour for us in Christ. It is there that we can experience in concrete ways something of the Lord’s faithful love, his willingness to forgive us when we fail, to support us when we are at our most vulnerable.

We don’t know much about the thirty years that Jesus spent with his family in Nazareth; they are the hidden years. Yet, without that experience of family, Jesus would not have become the adult that graces the pages of the gospels - that fully mature human being, filled with wisdom, on whom God’s favour rested and who revealed God’s favour to all, especially to those who were made to feel outside of God’s favour. Although Jesus was more than Mary and Joseph could ever give him, their influence on him can never be underestimated. They brought him to the point where one day he could separate himself from his blood family and begin to form a family of his own, not a blood family but a family of disciples, the family of those who do the will of his Father in heaven. This family came to be called the church, into which we have all been baptized.

There are three generations of people in this morning’s gospel reading. As well as the child Jesus and his young parents, there is the elderly Simeon and Anna. The gift that these two older people bring to this young married couple and their child is their ability to see and name the goodness of the child. Simeon declares him to be a light to enlighten the pagans and the glory of Israel; Anna announces that he will respond to people’s longing for deliverance. Those of an older generation always have a gift to offer us that no one else can give. At its best, family life is where the different generations are brought together in ways that are deeply enriching for all.

(iv) Feast of the The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph

This year the feast of the Holy Family coincides with New Year’s Eve. There is something about New Year’s Eve which always prompts me to look back as well as to look forward. Perhaps the coincidence of the feast of the Holy Family being celebrated on New Year’s Eve might prompt us to look back over our family life in the past year. We were all born into a family and we all belong to a family. As we look back on our experience of family this past year, we might be very aware of moments of celebration. Perhaps someone had a significant birthday, or a child was born into the family, or there was a gathering of family members that hadn’t happened for a long time. We might also be aware of some sad and dark experiences for our family, perhaps the death of a family member, or some other experience of significant loss for the family. We might be aware of a family relationship that broke down and is in need of healing. Every family’s story over a twelve-month period is different. Yet, each family story will have its light and shadow, its joy and sorrow, its success and failure, its sense of gratitude and sense of regret.

New Year’s Eve is also a time for looking forward and the feast of the Holy Family coinciding with New Year’s Eve might prompt us to reflect on our family life as we head into a new year and to ask how together we can build up our families. None of us knows what the future holds for our families in the coming twelve months. No doubt, there will again be that mixture of light and shade which colours the life of every family. In today’s gospel reading, a young couple from the village of Nazareth bring their new-born son to the Temple in Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, much as parents today bring their children to their parish church for baptism. There they encountered a man named Simeon, on whom the Holy Spirit rested. When Simeon saw this young couple and their child, he looked to the future, both the couple’s future and the child’s future. As he looked into the future, he could see both light and shade. He recognized that this child would become a light to enlighten the pagans and would bring glory to his own people Israel. Yet, he also announced that a shadow would fall over this young family in the years to come. Their son would become a sign to be rejected and a sword would piece Mary’s heart. That announcement of Simeon, with its light and shade, is an accurate reflection of what transpired for this family. As Jesus grew into adulthood and set out on his public ministry, he brought light into the darkness of many people’s lives, and as risen Lord he continues to do that for us today. Yet, Jesus’ light-shedding ministry was experienced as threatening by others who went on to reject him in the most violent way imaginable. This would have painful implications for Mary in particular.

The term ‘holy family’ can make the family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph seem remote from us. Yet, this was a family that knew the darker side of human life, as well as its joys and wonders. Yes, there was something special about this family, because Jesus was special. He had a unique relationship with God and a mission from God that no one else before or since has had. At the same time, this family did not appear to stand out from the other families of Nazareth as Jesus was growing up. When Jesus went back to Nazareth as an adult to preach in the synagogue there, his townspeople clearly weren’t expecting him to turn out as he did. They asked each other, ‘Where did this man get all this?... Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and are not his sisters here with us?’ There was something very ordinary about this family. In some ways, they were like every other family in Nazareth. Yet, God was doing something very extraordinary in and through what was in many ways a very ordinary family.

Perhaps, one of the messages of today’s feast is that God can continue to do something extraordinary in and through the very ordinariness of our own family lives. The son of Mary and Joseph is now risen Lord who promised to be with us until the end of time. We have all been baptized into that risen Lord. He is present at the heart of every family. In particular the love of a husband and wife for each other and their children makes tangibly present the Lord’s love for us all. There is a sacred, sacramental, quality to every family. Just as God’s favour was with Jesus, and with Mary and Joseph, according to the gospel reading, the Lord’s favour is present to all our families. We face into the future in the strength of that favour. The Lord’s loving presence within our families is a powerful resource that can enable us to face every struggle that might come our way in the year ahead.

(v) Feast of The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph

This has been a different Christmas to any other year. We haven’t been able to gather around family tables in the same numbers as usual. Many family members who are abroad have been unable to come home. The family of faith has not been able to gather for Mass on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in the same numbers either. To avoid having to turn large numbers of people away, we reluctantly decided to have a ticketing system for the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Masses. Today, we began to celebrate Mass behind closed doors again. Yet, all these restrictions, painful as they are, serve the purpose of keeping as many people as possible safe and well. They are an act of loving service towards one another. Living by these restrictions can be one of the ways we grow in our love for the members of our blood family and of our faith family, the church.

Although a much smaller number than usual could be accommodated at Mass over the Christmas period, many people are coming to the church to pray, outside of Mass times. The church is open every day until around 5.00 pm. I am struck by the number of young parents who have been bringing their children to the church to pray, to visit the crib, to light a candle. In bringing their children to the church in this way, parents are following in the footsteps of Mary and Joseph in today’s gospel reading. They would have brought their young child, Jesus, to the local synagogue in Nazareth from his earliest days of life. In today’s gospel reading, they are depicted as bringing him all the way to the Temple in Jerusalem, far to the south, in keeping with the requirements of the Jewish Law. Their faith in God was central to the lives of Mary and Joseph and they wanted to initiate their child into that same faith. Bringing their child to places associated with the worship of God was one of the ways they did that. We have a beautiful church here in the parish. We are blessed with lovely stained glass window, attractive shrines, striking Stations of the Cross, a beautiful mosaic of Jesus’ baptism, all of which can easily speak to children’s religious imagination. Even more than the fabric and objects of the church, is the prayerfulness of the church. The faith of many generations of worshippers has left an impact on the atmosphere of the church. Bringing children to such a space as this cannot but nurture their emerging faith. We speak of the home and family as the domestic church. It is above all in that family setting that the faith is caught by children. Yet, our parish church is a space that can nurture faith in another way. It brings the domestic church into contact with the church of the generations. It is a space where the faith of us all can be nurtured, regardless of our age.

When Mary and Joseph brought their child, Jesus, to the Temple that day in Jerusalem, it certainly nurtured their faith and, through them, the faith of their young child. They had the good fortune to meet two elderly worshippers, Simeon and Anna. Simeon is spoken of as upright and devout, someone on whom the Holy Spirit rested, and Anna is described as a prophetess, someone who was deeply steeped in God’s word and could proclaim it to others. The Lord touched the lives of Mary, Joseph and their child in and through these two older people of faith. They both affirmed the identity of the young couple’s child. Simeon declared the child to be a ‘light to enlighten the pagans, and the glory of your people Israel’. Anna announced that the child was God’s response to all who were looking forward to the deliverance of Jerusalem. The long journey of Mary, Joseph and their child from Nazareth to Jerusalem had not been in vain. It brought them into contact with two wonderful representatives of the wider faith community, through whom God touched the lives of this young family. When parents bring their child to our parish church, they won’t necessarily meet a Simeon or an Anna, although their equivalents can be found in our church at various times of the day. Yet, when a family or when we as individuals come to our parish church, even outside the times when people gather for Mass, we are coming in contact with the wider community of faith, with the Simeon’s and Anna’s of our day, and with the community of faith who are now in heaven.

Among that community of faith who are now in heaven, and whom we remember in a special way today, are the parents of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Both are represented visually in our church, Mary has her own altar at the front of the church, with a beautiful stained glass depiction of her annunciation above it, and Joseph has his shrine at the back of the church. Perhaps that is where he would want to be, because he is always somewhat in the background in the gospel story. We come into contact with the holy family when we come to our parish church, and we are also reminded of our own honoured place within this holy family. Through baptism, we have become members of Jesus’ family, his brothers and sisters, who can look to God his Father as our Father and to Mary his mother as our mother.

Ariadne helped Theseus with the famous thread and a sword to kill her brother the Minotaur. Then she eloped with him, yet according to Homer in the Odyssey "he had no joy of her, for ere that, Artemis (Diana) slew her in seagirt Dia because of the witness of Dionysus". (“seagirt Dia” refers to the uninhabited island of Dia, N of Crete). Most accounts claim that Theseus abandoned Ariadne in Naxos where Dionysus (Bacchus) found her.

Master Numbers Traditionally, any number in our numerological portrait or our life path number is broken down into a single digit. However, there are two scenarios in which this is not the case: 11 and 22. As "master numbers," these special numbers have more potential than other numbers. What makes them so unique? They not only have two digits that are the same, but they also have powerful numbers that can be doubled. In numerology, "One" is the leader, and "Two" is the harmonizer. In both positive and negative ways, having these identical digits together generates a lot of energy and power. It is essential to keep in mind that our life path number typically contains our master numbers. They should be added to a single-digit number if they appear in your numerological portrait. Your soul number, also known as your soul's urge, is a representation of the things you want most in the world. It stands for what your soul longs for most in this life. It is your fundamental identity and what you require to be content. The Pythagorean number system, which assigns a single-digit number to each letter, is used to calculate the soul number, in contrast to the life path number, which is calculated by adding all of your birthday's digits together. A is one, B is two, C is three, and so forth. Add all your name's vowels together until you get a one-digit number to determine your soul number. For instance, if we wanted to find Jack Smith's soul number, we would multiply "A" (1) by "I" (9); Jack's soul number would be one if 1+9=10 and 1+0=1. Angel Numbers You are already familiar with the concept of angel numbers if you have ever made a wish when the clock struck 11:11 or looked when your coffee order totaled $6.66. Angel numbers are a series of numbers that keep coming back to you as messages from the universe. According to numerology, each number has its own energy vibration; The vibration gets stronger the more times you see that number, especially in a row. Angel numbers typically appear at random all over the world: the date and time in a book you're reading—your receipt or clock. Don't ignore a number that keeps coming up again and again! It could be a message from the universe to you.

Life Path Number 2 The dual number "Two" stands for harmony. Above all else, this number promotes diplomacy and peace. Twos are sincere, compassionate, and great friends when they are at their best. They exhibit excessive sensitivity, indecisiveness, and self-sacrifice at their worst.

Family of Asterius the Minotaur

So this came about after a lot of research because I really love doing up family trees. I did not know how extensive this family was going be, and I have actually left out some of the great grandchildren of Pasiphae and Minos because I wanted to include the ones that were directly (well, as close as possibly) related to Asterius the Minotaur. 

Grandparents: Helios (God of the Sun) and Perseis (the Oceanid Nymph) were the parents of Pasiphae and her siblings, whereas Zeus (God of the Heavens) and Europa (a Phoenician princess) were the parents of Minos and his siblings. Asterion was the King of Crete, who adopted Minos and his brothers when he married Europa (the minotaur, Asterius, is named after him).

Parents: Queen Pasiphae (mother), the Cretan Bull (father), and King Minos of Crete (step-father).

Aunts/Uncles Through Pasiphae: Circe (aunt), Aeetes (uncle), Perses (uncle).

Aunts/Uncles Through Minos: Rhadamanthys (step-uncle), Sarpedon (step-uncle).

Half-Siblings Through Pasiphae and Minos: Catreus (eldest son and heir to Crete, killed by his own son), Androgeus (killed by the Cretan Bull in Athens), Ariadne (wife of Dionysus, goddess of the Labyrinth), Deucalion (husband of Cleopatra, King of Crete), Glaucus (Prince of Crete, resurrected when he fell into a pot of honey), Phaedra (wife of Theseus, Princess of Crete), Acacallis (princess of Crete, mother of children to Hermes and Apollo), and Xenodice (Princess of Crete).

Half-Siblings Through Minos: Eurymedon, Nephalion, Chryses, Philolaus (children of Pareia, killed by Heracles), Euxanthius (son of Dexithea, he became King of Ceos).

Family of Catreus: Althaemenes (only son, he accidentally killed his father after years apart), Apemosyne (kicked to death by her brother, he believed she lied about being chased down by Hermes), Aerope (spared by Nauplius, she married Atreus and gave him two sons Agamemnon and Menelaus, she also gave a golden lamb to Thyestes who became King of Mycenae), and Clymene (became the wife of Nauplius and mother of Palamedes, Oeax, and Nausimedon).

Family of Androgeus: Andrgoeus sons were Sthenelus (companion of Heracles, killed in the war of the Amazons), and Alcaeus (Cretan general of Rhadamanthys, later became a companion of Heracles).

Family of Glaucus: The daughter of Glaucus was Deiphobe (a priestess of Phoebus Apollo and Diana Trivia).

Family of Deucalion: Deucalion married Cleopatra and they had two sons, Idomeneus and Molus (they led the Cretans to Troy).

Family of Phaedra: She married Theseus and their sons were Demophon (King of Athens), and Acamas (He was a part of the Trojan War).

Family of Ariadne: She married Dionysus (God of Wine), and became the mother of Oenopion (King of Chios, the personification of wine), Staphylus (associated with grapes, he was one of the Argonauts), Thoas (King of Lemnos), Phanus (one of the Argonauts), Enyeus (King of Skyros), Maron (Hero of Sweet Wine).

Family of Acacallis: She bore a son to Hermes (God of Messages) called Cydon (Founder of Cydonia), and with Apollo (God of Music) she was the mother of Naxos (Founder of the Island Naxos), Miletus (Founder of the City of Miletus), and Garamas (sometimes called Ampithemis).

boun noppanut. twenty-three. male. he/him. pansexual aromantic & cancer. ☾ *ﾟ is that The Magnificent Phanurat behind the mask? whenever i see the pyro performer & arsonist for the Skull Spiders in pigalle, i think of cult leader // king mala. rumor has it they are fastidious & honest, but secretive & explosive can be their fatal flaws. what their neighbors in living area call them is the strange one.

drug mention tw, arson tw

Full Name: Sakchai Niran, but he only goes by his alias 

Occupation: Pyro Performer in Madam Irene’s Circus & an Arsonist for the Skull Spiders.

A HISTORY, rather an abbreviation

Phanu was created the normal way. In a lab by corrupt scientists who had harvested his genetic material from an overdose victim. Bonus points for adding a little spidery-ness to the mix. 

Phanu, like many other dopplegangers, knew only Lieseil INC and it’s child companies until he was old enough to work for them. He was given a brilliant education, of course, but he never found himself excelling in those subjects.

When he showed a propensity for fire, well, that changed some things. While they couldn’t use him for assassination or any delicate matters, his attention for detail and fascination with fire and explosives made him an asset in other ways. 

PERSONALITY

Phanurat is... well, not shy. He’s boisterious and outgoing, loud-mouthed, and loves to be the center of attention. He’s a bit unlike other dopplegangers that way, in that he likes to draw eyes to him, but he’s found a way for it to work. There can be an anonymity in attention. People might write him off or say that he’s one thing and cannot be another. “Phanu? The fire performer? Sure, there was arson and he was seen nearby, but it couldn’t have been him. He doesn’t have it in him.”

He has an incredible attention to detail. The caveat? It has to be something that interests him. Where he lacks attention on any important matters like a drivers license, he makes up for it with wiring and pyrotechnics and explosives.

With his friends, he’s caring and always seems to remember little details about them.

But, he also has strange interests. He’s tried on multiple occassions to get people to make venom pacts with him, but he never quite makes it happen. No one seems to know what the “venom” is. 

He’s never seen without some kind of fabric covering his shoulders - one rumor said that he had spikes of some kind coming out of his shoulder blades, but it couldn’t be confirmed.

He likes to put on a show and one might wonder if that’s him just hiding who, or what, he really is. No one really knows any of his secrets or seems to recognize any defining traits about him besides his love for performance.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

Exes (mostly casual as he’s aromantic)

Casual Flings

Good & Best Friends

Other Dopples

Asteroid Files: Ariadne

Helios on Ariadne– Failure- Its a dirty word in our society. We are told to desire first place, and anything else is losing. Yet failure, loss and settling make us who we are- In tragedy we are revealed, not in success. This asteroid heroine knows that feeling well, and she has a lot to teach us….

The Astronomy– 43 Ariadne is a fairly large and bright main-belt asteroid. It is the second-largest member of the Flora asteroid family. It was discovered on April 15, 1857, and named after the ancient Greek heroine Ariadne (HEROINE, PEOPLE. Do you know how rare it is to have actual ancient Greek Heroines?) Ariadne is very elongate (almost twice as long as its smallest dimension) and probably bi-lobed or at least very angular. It is a retrograde rotator, although its pole points almost parallel to the ecliptic towards ecliptic coordinates (β, λ) = (-15°, 253°) with a 10° uncertainty. This gives an axial tilt of about 105°. Ariadne has an orbital period of 1195 days, or 3.27 years.

The Myth– Ariadne in Greek mythology was the daughter of Minos (the King of Crete and a son of Zeus) and Pasiphaë (Minos’ queen and a daughter of Helios [*coughs awkwardly*]) She is mostly associated with mazes and labyrinths because of her involvement in the myths of the Minotaur and Theseus. Her father put her in charge of the labyrinth where sacrifices were made as part of reparations (either to Poseidon or to Athena, depending on the version of the myth); later, she helped Theseus overcome the Minotaur and save the potential sacrificial victims. In other stories, she became the bride of the god Dionysus, with the question of her being mortal or a goddess varying in those accounts.

According to an Athenian version of the legend, Minos attacked Athens after his son was killed there. The Athenians asked for terms and were required to sacrifice seven young men and seven maidens to the Minotaur every seven or nine years. One year, the sacrificial party included Theseus, the son of King Aegeus, who volunteered to come and kill the Minotaur. Ariadne fell in love at first sight and helped him by giving him a sword and a ball of thread so that he could find his way out of the Minotaur’s labyrinth.

She eloped with Theseus after he achieved his goal, but according to Homer “he had no joy of her, for ere that, Artemis slew her in seagirt Dia because of the witness of Dionysus”. Homer does not expand on the nature of Dionysus’s accusation, but the Oxford Classical Dictionary speculates that she was already married to Dionysus when she ran away with Theseus.

In Hesiod and most other accounts, Theseus abandoned Ariadne sleeping on Naxos, and Dionysus rediscovered and wedded her. In a few versions of the myth, Dionysus appeared to Theseus as they sailed away from Crete, saying that he had chosen Ariadne as his wife and demanding that Theseus leave her on Naxos for him; this has the effect of absolving the Athenian culture-hero of desertion. The vase-painters of Athens often showed Athena leading Theseus from the sleeping Ariadne to his ship. With Dionysus, she was the mother of Oenopion, the personification of wine, Staphylus (related to grapes), Thoas, Peparethus, Phanus, Eurymedon, Enyeus, Ceramus, Maron, Euanthes, Latramys and Tauropolis. Her wedding diadem was set in the heavens as the constellation Corona Borealis.

Ariadne remained faithful to Dionysus but was later killed by Perseus at Argos. In other myths she hanged herself from a tree, like Erigone and the hanging Artemis, a Mesopotamian theme. Some scholars have posited, due to her thread-spinning and winding associations, that she was a weaving goddess, like Arachne, supporting this theory with the mytheme of the Hanged Nymph. Dionysus descended into Hades and brought her and his mother Semele back. They then joined the gods in Olympus.

Karl Kerenyi and Robert Graves theorize that Ariadne (whose name they derive from Άδνον, a Cretan-Greek form for arihagne, “utterly pure”) was a Great Goddess of Crete, “the first divine personage of Greek mythology to be immediately recognized in Crete”, once archaeology had begun. Kerenyi observes that her name is merely an epithet and claims that she was originally the “Mistress of the Labyrinth”, both a winding dance-ground and in the Greek view a prison with the dreaded Minotaur at its centre. An ancient cult of Aphrodite-Ariadne was observed at Amathus, Cyprus. According to the myth that was current at Amathus, the second most important Cypriote cult centre of Aphrodite, Theseus’s ship was swept off course and the pregnant and suffering Ariadne put ashore in the storm. Theseus, attempting to secure the ship, was inadvertently swept out to sea, thus being absolved of abandonment. The Cypriote women cared for Ariadne, who died in childbirth and was memorialized in a shrine. Theseus, overcome with grief upon his return, left money for sacrifices to Ariadne and ordered two cult images, one of silver and one of bronze, set up. At the observation in her honor on the second day of the month Gorpiaeus, one of the young men lay on the ground vicariously experiencing the throes of labour. The sacred grove in which the shrine was located was called the grove of Aphrodite Ariadne. The primitive aspect of the cult at Amathus in this account would appear to be much older than the Athenian-sanctioned shrine of Aphrodite, who has assumed Ariadne (hagne, “sacred”) as an epithet at Amathus. Why She Matters– Okay so I really, really like Ariadne. She’s always been a badass to me. She’s smart, she’s tough, and she’s brave AF, but acts out of love to do the right thing; She’s basically Hermoine Granger, the capable character who the brave boy heroes would be utterly lost without- She’s great. Unfortunately, no matter how you unpack her, her story never ends happily. Whether its abandoned by Theseus or gutted by Perseus or trapped in her family’s machinations, Ariadne seems doomed no matter what (which is the final test of whether she truly is a hero or not- no greek hero ever has a happy ending until they die). So what the hell does she mean astrologically?

Well, one theme that really sticks out is a lesson its taking me a long time to learn, and for this we turn to the only Virgo I respect, the Queen herself:

This seems to be what Ariadne is trying to tell us. You can want something with all your heart, you can give it your all and give your absolute best… and it still doesn’t happen; Sometimes things just fail. Now, given her connection to Aphrodite, this rings especially true for relationships. Its impossible to ignore how much Ariadne was mistreated by the men in her life: First her father who made her take care of the Minotaur and the dank labyrinth, then Theseus who is just a colossal dick, and Perseus who is a douche. Dionysus is good, but he can’t completely protect her in the end, but he makes up for it by ensuring her final happy ending (and for his mother, who definitely deserved better than she got!) but man did she have it rough. I don’t want to lump her in with Dejanira for the abuse asteroids but man, its hard to not draw the comparison. She definitely rings true for the themes of settling, “second place” and consolation prize, with others not being able to see the worth you have to offer (or in some cases, you can’t see it!). Truly she is a complex asteroid with a lot to say!

To find out where she shows up in your chart, go to astro.com, put in your birth details and in the extended options, at the top of the next page, there will be a menu of additional objects. To the right of that is a blank space where you can enter the number 43, for Ariadne.

Food is something that makes a person's heart happy or something that makes your stress go away. It is said that if you want to impress someone, first try to impress their stomach. And if you eat your favorite food, it just vanishes your stress and makes you refresh. Dehradun has two types of food culture, the first is Kumaoni, and the second is Garhwali. Kumaon consists of places like Nainital, Almora, Haldwani, and Ranikhet. Garhwal consists of places like Haridwar, Rishikesh, Kedarnath, and Badrinath dhams. 

The Garhwali and Kumaoni food includes a lot of grains such as Ghat (Kulath), Jhangora (barnyard millet), Bhat (black soybean), Mandua (finger millet), and seasonal green and leafy vegetables. Green vegetables such as Amarnath (choli), nettles (Picchu ghas) are also cooked and served by people living there. They use special spices such as Thawe (Kala jeera), Kwacha (Sakwa), and Bhangjeera (it is made from cannabis). These food are not only delicious but also nutritious, they act as antioxidants and has a massive amount of medical benefits. 

Foods like Chainsoo, Kafuli, Jholi, Phaanu, Til ki Chutney, Baadi, Roat, Arsa, Aloo Tomato Jhol, and Gahat Ke Paranthe are some famous Garhwali cuisine. And foods like Ras, Bhaang ki Chutney, Singhal, Bhatt ki Churdkani, Shai, Badil, and Thechwani are favorite Kumaoni cuisines. Some foods like Kandalee ka Saag, Bal Mithai, Kulath Phanu, Gulgula, Arsa, Kaafil, Singodi, Sani hui Muli, and Nimbu comes under the cuisine of Dehradun.

● CHAINS

This recipe is made from Black Urad Daal, or we can say lentils. It is one of the traditional foods of the Garhwali people. Urad daal or lentils are hard to digest, so if you are known to this daal and can digest it, then it's well and good, but if you are going to taste it for the first time, then it might be a little hard to digest.

● PHANU

The phone is known as the brother of Chainsoo because it is the same except for the ingredients. While making Chainsoo, they use Black Urad daal, but while making Phanu, they don't have any restrictions. They can use various daals like moong and toor daal.

This dish is usually consumed during winters because it provides warmth inside the body. This recipe requires lentils and some traditional species. It tastes best when cooked in the traditional method that is cooking in handi that too in Chula (coal). 

● SANA HUA NIMBU MOOLI

The main ingredient of this recipe is lemon, as the name suggests. There is a special species of lemon, which is larger in size compared to the original lemons that we get in the market. So, this recipe includes those large lemons, white radish (mooli), curd, bhang, hemp seeds (roasted), sugar or honey, green chilies, and salt.

● ALOO TAMATAR KA JHOL

As the name suggests, this recipe considers tomato (tamatar) and potato (aloo). In this recipe, first, the potatoes are boiled, then tomatoes are cut into small sizes, and then their curry is formed. In that curry, they smash the boiled potatoes and put them in tomato curry. At last, it is seasoned with tomatoes, and coriander (dhaniya) leaves.

● GAHAT KE PARANTHE

This recipe consists of Gahat that is horse gram. Gahat is soaked overnight, and then they boil it in a pressure cooker until it becomes soft and easy to smash. Then they make dough out of wheat and then fill the wheat balls with a mixture of gahat which is prepared. Then it is cooked and served.

● ALOO DAAL PAKORA

Again, as the name suggests, it consists of aloo, that is, potatoes, and daal that pulse. Both daal and potatoes are boiled in a pressure cooker, and then the potatoes are smashed. These smashed potatoes are then mixed with boiled daal and creature a mixture out of it. Then taking out small parts, and little by little, those are fried in oil.

● KUMAONI DAAL BADA  

In this recipe, the main hero is Urad ki Daal. These are soaked overnight, and then they create a mixture of them. And then, this mixture in the form of bada is then deep-fried in oil. It is so crispy and delicious. It is considered a snack.

● SISUNAK SAAG

Mainly this saag is made from Bicchu saag, but now as the time has changed, people make it with any other green leafy vegetable. This recipe has a thick and dry curry.

This recipe is made out of Buckwheat flour which is then roasted in ghee and given the shape of a ball. Baadi tastes great when served with Gahat ki daal and Phaanu. It is a popular dish of Uttarakhand.
