8:15 PM 3/26/2017 It’s a nice night, there’s a lot of very intense magic coming up over the next two months, and I have the rest of the evening to excavate a very powerful weekend.
I should start with Buffynicities and regular synchronicities:
Synchronicity #1: I was at the toy store on Friday and I was waiting to talk to the owner while he was on the phone. It was getting a little annoying because I wanted to get out of there in time to see Logan, but he was raving to someone about some 3.75" action figures he had just bought, going over them in detail, including a Dracula, a Frankenstein, and a Creature From the Black Lagoon. I was thinking this was a “Monster Squad”, remembering that I had loved this show when I was a kid. Then I crossed the street to my comics store and the owner of that was playing the 1980’s “Monster Squad” movie on his TV. That was nice.
Synchronicity #2: On another nostalgia trip, at work I had an impulse to look for a bandana with a map of Texas on it, because that’s one of the first possessions I remember as a kid, when I lived for a while in Lubbock – a red bandana from Texas Tech University with a map on it. Then that night I went to see “Logan” which takes place in Texas.
Synchronicity #3: I had mentioned the movie “My Favorite Year” in a recent post, and Logan has some issues similar to that older movie in this current one.
Synchronicity #4: “Laura Kinney” is Logan’s daughter, who is hispanic. On Monday, the night Jay came over right after I finished the episode with “The Sisterhood of Jhe”, and then I did a reading for his girlfriend Laura, who is hispanic.
Both of these synchronicities relate to memories from early childhood.
Buffynicity #1: On Thursday I was surpised by Sandy’s split-second timing with the “blue light” of a cop car, and I compared a black robed figure to “Khan, or an Angel of Saturn”. Watching the conclusion of that episode on Saturday, I saw that the black-robed figure was an ally of Giles, who had “Introduced him to his wife”, and further they were talking about the dark figures “light show” which had really been a trick. This is definitely related to Sandy’s “light show”, and tonight another cop car went by with its blue flasher going. Although the timing wasn’t as startling, it is still not a usual occurrence.
Buffynicity #2: I saw “Logan” on Friday, and in that movie Xavier has a problem with out-of-control telepathy. The Buffy episode I watched on Saturday was about her getting bitten by a demon (the illustration of the Demon in the book looked just like Wolverine, with little pointy peaks on its temples recalling Wolvy’s distinctive hairstyle) and developing out-of-control telepathy.
Buffynicity #3: The blood of the demon was blue and emitted light like the “blue light” of the previous episode. I also thought of my earlier working in which Angel says “my blood is the key” because he brings the blood to Buffy.
Buffynicity #4: (I’m having deja vu as I write this). I wrote a mini-review of Logan on Saturday morning and in the Buffy episode I watched that afternoon there was a really snotty kid who wrote mean-spirited reviews in the school paper. Everyone thought he might be a psycho killer.
That one is especially interesting. Am I that kid? Was I too harsh in my review? I don’t know.
Buffynicity #5: Tonight’s episode featured the “Box of Gavrok”, which is a cube. I bought a prop “Hellraiser” cube a couple of weeks ago. It’s on my pop altar. Since I’ve been on my Motorhead kick I’ve been thinking about the song “Hellraiser” which Lemmy wrote for Ozzy Osborne (I just downloaded it). This cube evokes the “cube of space” which is associated with “The Master R”, founder of the “I AM activity”, a religion based here in Chicago, which is dedicated to the “Ascension”.
Furthermore, since I saw “Near Dark” last night, I have been thinking a lot about James Cameron because he was married to the director, Kathryn Bigelow. The Box of Gavrok spiders hug peoples’ faces just like the Aliens from that franchise.
They are of course related to the legendary astral spiders. I was looking at a toy spider on Friday, thinking about buying it. I probably will if it’s still there next Friday.
Buffynicity #6: I had also been thinking about “Tomb Raider”, the scene where Lara Croft hangs from the ceiling. Angel lowers Buffy into the Mayor’s office in a similar way.
Buffynicity #7: On the train home this afternoon there was a kid standing in front of me wearing a “Northwestern Engineering” t-shirt and then in the episode Buffy got accepted to Northwestern University.
Buffynicity #8: Angel had a dream where he got married to Buffy and she burst into flames and this resembles some elements of “Near Dark”, which I saw last night. The romantic issues in general were pretty similar.
So that’s Buffy and now for astrological aspects in part 3.
