Bridging the Gap ?

This is worth highlighting, is there some sort of symbolism at play alluding directly to a royal belief in reincarnation ?

It's just been on the radio that Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their third child. Breaking News and all that.

Today, HM Queen opens the new Forth crossing, the "Queensferry Crossing", the third one to span the Forth Estuary, linking Edinburgh with Fife. It's exactly 53 years since she opened the Forth Bridge. The Queensferry Crossing will, to all intents and purposes, replace the Forth Bridge. (BBC News)

Back in 2008, it was revealed that Prince Philip's funeral arrangements are code-named "Forth Bridge" by Palace officials. (here)

One wonders if his time is imminent.

Quin Towers

Wills 'n Kate meet Clyde on 4/4/13

We touched on potential "year and a day" magick in the very recent Marilyn Manson / Clutha Bar related post. (here)


Yesterday, 3/4,  it was announced that the Glasgow XX Commonwealth Games are to start with a bang, five large tower blocks - The Red Road flats - are to be demolished as part of the opening ceremony. (here).

The date is 23rd July, allegedly a year and a day after royal baby George's (Pythagorean 22/7) birth, whilst the games last for eleven days.

Apparently,  the destruction of the towers is seen in some quarters as "a bold and dramatic statement of intent from a city focused on regeneration", although others disagree.

It's worth noting that the Commonwealth Games mascot is called Clyde, "a thistle named after the river", and that the Clutha Bar is also named after the same. 

It's also well worth noting that Prince William and Kate visited Glasgow exactly  364 days prior ( a year less a day) to yesterday's announcement, on 4/4/2013, when they saw mascot Clyde and played table tennis. (Masks)

What to make of it we really don't know,  but for sure, watching those towers collapse will have some sort of effect on the collective psyche. 

cheers

P.S- Today it is reported that a "large expanse" of mystery foam has appeared on the Clyde. here. 

Hello George

Back in 2010, as we awaited the London Olympics, an animated cartoon was produced to promote the games and the mascots, Wenlock and Mandeville.

I have copied my post from then - Bye - George, given "Wills 'n Kate's" baby has been named George :


I managed to watch the short animated Olympic "mascot" "Out of a Rainbow" movie again yesterday and a couple of points jumped out - although it needs to be remembered that this was only the introductory part of the story.

Basically, the plot goes that an old chap is retiring from his job at a steelworks in Bolton. As the "last" girder - marked 2012, London Olympics, 070605 - is completed, kindly George gets to sign it, then hands his gaffer his protective clothing before collecting two "scrap" droplets of metal and cycling home to his wife, dog, and two grandchildren. Here, overnight in the bright light of a full moon, George works like an alchemist, eventually producing two little metallic creatures which he and his wife present to the children in the morning - carefully wrapped in a pair of shoe boxes, size 11.

They place their gifts on the window sill before a rainbow shoots through the window and brings the toys to life; they cavort and dance with the dog (whilst we see it's name tag, Unity) then shimmy along a bookshelf where we spy a book "Much Wenlock" and a picture "Stoke Mandeville Games", hence their names. However the "fun" is short lived, the rainbow returns and the cylops-like creatures have to go and fly out the window; although we are reassured by the narrator, Michael Morpugo, that they will return.

Notwithstanding the ongoing Wizard of Oz theory subscribed to here, do we not see a reincarnation of "occult" Pinocchio at work- now space age, although maybe it is too early to know for sure. See Vigilant Citizen - The Esoteric Interpretation of Pinnocchio:

“There are two ways to read “The Adventures of Pinocchio”. The first is what I would call “profane” where the reader, most probably a child, learns about the mishaps of the wooden puppet. The second is a reading from a Masonic point of view, where heavy symbolism will complete, without replacing, the simple and lineary narration of events”.

Wenlock and Mandeville - All seeing eye  resonators.

A Warm Welcome

Monday just past saw a wildfire strike Fort William, just north of "Jimmy Savile's" Glencoe, in Scotland. The place takes it's name from protestant, William of Orange, the catholic hating Dutch prince so beloved of Glasgow Rangers football supporters. Local MP, Charles Kennedy, described the blaze as "unprecedented". The Glencoe massacre was a blood sacrifice to William of Orange and his House of Stuart wife Mary. (BBC News)

Yesterday morning saw chaos in neighbouring Inverness, a "horrendous" fire at the Eastgate Backpackers Hostel causing the closure of the High Street  from Inglis Street to Crown Road. Dozens were evacuated in their nightclothes, the Red Cross helping out. (BBC News)

Ruby Slippers - In Oz/Zion ?

Today, squarely 4/4,  sees Prince William and Kate visit a homeless shelter in Glasgow where they will communicate by Skype with two youngsters on work experience in the Netherlands. Additionally, they are to tour the Donald Dewar Leisure Centre. Their visit will be marked with a fly-past of 3 military Typhoon aircraft. (BBC News)
