Once in a Blue Moon...
Posted by Rick MG at 04:22, 03 Sep 2012
Last Friday August 31st, Neil Armstrong's memorial service coincided with a blue moon. It was a perfectly timed cosmic wink. Today, Sun Myung Moon, the leader of Korea's Moonies cult, died. The coincidence is enough to make me go, "hmmm..."
One man united the world with one small step, the other united couples in married bliss (the divorce rate nothwithstanding). Whether it means anything, I don't know. To some people, the moon is just a cold, lifeless rock. For others, the moon is the divine feminine. Jung considered the moon to be symbolic of your 'shadow self', a meaning played out in Tarot. In Mexico, the Aztec associated the moon with a drunk rabbit god.
On a weekend when a blue moon was wow-ing observers worldwide, when we all remembered Neil Armstrong's inspiring giant leap for mankind, it's a curious coincidence that a man who created the Moonies passed away.
Unfortunately, I didn't hear a cat play the fiddle.

The loss of Neil Armstrong is everyone's loss! I still remember watching him take his Giant Step For Mankind!
What do you think?

A plethora of Moonies men taking one giant leap as well! This calls for some Mighty Boosh... whoa, the first thing Mr Moon says, "Neil Armstrong, he walking on me face." Spooky!

Loren Coleman cheekily points out that Prince Harry's royal bottom was on the front page of every tabloid a week or so as well. So we didn't just get a cosmic wink... but the Trickster himself was mooning us!

Asian legend also associates rabbits with the moon, claiming it lives on the moon and makes the elixir of life. This blue moon can be associated with Virgo, relating to Isis and the Virgin Mary. In some Native American cultures Virgo was aligned with the symbol of the Bear. Now the Bear is associated in the Celtic lunar calendar with Aquarius. And the last blue moon we had was aligned with the Wolf (January moon), which is linked to Pisces in there zodiac. We are now moving from the Age of Pisces, to the Age of Aquarius. In legend the hare/rabbit is an ally and friend of both the Wolf and the bear as well as the God of Humanity and Medicine who can extend your life (as with the Asian story). So if all of our occult sources are correct, then both the stars and animals are telling you that soon 2012 will show its true colors.
And now that you are all throughly confused.......

...I forgot how I got here but everyone seems to be heading off in that direction. I hope someone brought food. I have a feeling this is going to be a long journey................

This song rocks. And it tells a specific Gypsy legend about the moon, and how it wanted to have a child.
It's not the depth of the rabbit hole that bugs me...
It's all the rabbit SH*T you stumble over on your way down!!!
