Ogham

From druidogham.wordpress.com

Phagos

Teaching, education, mastery, virtuosity, legacy

Tree: Beech (Fagus spp.)

Letter: Ph or F

Phagos is a reminder of the mental discipline it takes in the process of acquiring knowledge. When you get to the point of knowing a subject so well, you can teach it effortlessly, then you have mastered the subject on the mental plane, which reverberates through the other planes. Saturated knowledge is knowing a thing inside and out. Those who believe in reincarnation believe this is the kind of knowledge that does not go away when you shed one mortal body for the next one: for instance, a skilled midwife will stand a good chance of coming back as a competent ob/gyn who stumbles upon their talent in a seemingly random way. Or a lute player may be reborn and pick up the guitar at age twelve and learn it faster than any other kid in their class because of knowledge picked up in past lifetimes.

Teaching and inspiring others to master a subject is the physical manifestation of knowledge, or in old terminology, the Word made flesh. Beech tree bark makes a primitive form of paper. Phagos implies the written word and the transmission of knowledge through our uniquely human invention: writing.

Teachers and teaching are often undervalued in the modern West, with denigrations such as “those who can, do; those who can’t, teach,” being thrown about by the arrogant who have never been able to translate their mental skill in a way that consistently inspires others to learn. Bad teachers abound, and they can be bad for any number or reasons: some choose teaching when they have no passion for it, some want the glory of being labeled a teacher. Everybody knows that a good teacher is worth their weight in gold when it comes to the transmission of knowledge, and that a bad teacher is hardly worth the powder to blow them to hell, and often what a teacher is paid has nothing to do with what they’re worth. If you have a good teacher, let them know. Learn all you can while you are able to do so with the best teachers you can find (we live in the age of the internet, and a huge number of great teachers “live” there). Concentrate on a small number of subjects until you gain complete mastery, because you will take that knowledge with you long after your current flesh body dies. If you know a subject well enough to teach it, this Ogham is encouraging you to spread the wealth of your knowledge with other humans in a direct and potentially physical way such as writing.

Hexagram Twenty-Seven/27

Name: I.

Keyphrase: Nourishment.

Formed By The Trigrams: Mountain over Thunder.

General: Spiritual discrimination is as important as physical discrimination.

Love: Choose your thoughts and words wisely in your relationship and remember to be tolerant.

Business: Use the right words and you will help sustain and nourish your business.

Personal: Now is a good time to clear out all that is not worthy from your life.

Overview: I relates to nourishment. In the same way that food is used to nourish your body, I suggests that words and ideas be used in the same way. It cautions that as with food your words should be chosen carefully. Just as bad food can upset you or those around you, bad words can do the same. When the body and spirit are both well provided for then you will be at your most powerful and effective.

Numerology

From worldnumerology.com

Twenty-Seven

It is a counselor, a volunteer, and an artist, and is often successful. This number represents inheritance or other “unearned” and sometimes unexpected income. While the 9 is the least prejudiced or judgmental number, the 27 can be rigid and narrow-minded.

Goddesses and Gods – The 21 Main Egyptian Gods and Goddesses

The Egyptian pantheon includes all the gods created by the falcon-headed Sun god Ra. Egyptian gods include many gods with animal heads (Horus, Set, Anubis, Thoth, Bastet, Sekhmet, Ra) and others with human heads (Osiris, Isis, Nephthys, Amun).

We will see together in this article:

  • The gods Ra, Apep, Aten, and Sekhmet involved in the creation of the Universe
  • The gods Set, Osiris, Isis, Nephthys, and Horus involved in the tragedy called “myth of Osiris”
  • The gods Anubis, Thoth, and Ammit involved in the judgment of the Egyptian dead
  • The other important gods: Khepri, Amun, Ptah, Taweret, and Sobek

Let’s begin without further ado by discovering the first of these gods and the creator of the Egyptian world: Ra, the falcon Sun god.

Good Day WOTC Family and Friends – Another Change in Posting

An explanation for changing most posts back to how they were done before combining posts. Well, after trying the combined posts for over a week visitors and posts viewed have gone way down. As those numbers count towards the pennies a day I get for running WOTC my income from here has dropped from $0.33 USD per day to $0.20 USD per day. WordPress only pays out once a person reaches $100.00 no matter how long that might take. I only average about $105.00 USD every other month before I changed to the combined posts. This month I will not even make it to $50.00 USD for the entire month of May. What does this mean for how I do postings? It means I have to uncombine some of the ones I started combining 9 days ago. I cannot afford to get paid every 3 months by WordPress for the ads you see when going to different posts. Being paid every other month is hard enough on my income. I am on Social Security disability for which I get under $900.00 USD per month to pay all my bills and cover WOTC email and other monthly charges. I hope you understand why I have to make this change. I could leave the posts as is if there are a few people who would like to donate $5.00 to $10.00 USD or more every month 😉.

I am on disability for a combination of physical health problems the leading cause is have degenerative disc disease, which in my case means I have about 4 good discs in my entire spinal column the rest are either gone or bulging in towards the my central nervous system. This is a leading cause of why my fibromyalgia is getting worse instead of staying at the same level as it was when I was diagnosed with it about 10 years ago or at least that is what my doctors tell me. I DDD is also why I have so much trouble with my lower back and sciatic nerves. These things added on to of arthritis makes it very difficult just to do normal daily things like walk unaided inside my own home much less to set at my desk to get posts done but I am in no way giving up bring you fun, informative, and I hope interesting information daily.

Ok time to get off my soap box and get the regular daily posts done. Daily posts will appear as follows in your inbox. The topics that are posted the day before for the Northern Hemisphere will be reposted on the correct date.

This is the first Phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon’s surface. The moon is close to the sun in the sky and mostly dark except for the right edge of the moon which becomes brighter as the days get closer to the next phase which is a First Quarter with a 50% illumination.

Good Day WOTC Family and Friends Here is a Thought for Today

It is such a beautiful day here that my inner child wants to run in a field of wildflowers but the grown-up me knows it will bring on an allergy attack. So, instead I will walk by the unused railroad tracks a few feet from my home and see what is blooming there. I woke up knowing I had a to-do list but part of it can wait until later in the day so I can enjoy this morning walking and taking in what Mother Earth/Gaia has to offer for all my senses including what some call the sixth sense.

I hope it is nice wherever you live, and you can take some time, no make some time, for taking in Mother Earth/Gaia’s gifts that tantalize your sense of smell, taste, touch, seeing, and hearing the beauty left on this planet. Do not for get your sixth sense to open up to what is offered metaphysically!.
