Goddesses – Nephthys

Egyptian goddess Nephthys

Nephthys was an ancient goddess, who was referenced in texts dating back to the Old Kingdom. She was a member of the Ennead of Heliopolis as the daughter of Geb and Nut and the sister of Osiris, Isis, and Horus, as well as the sister and wife of Set. When the Ennead and Ogdoad merged, Nephthys was given a place on Ra’s boat so that she could accompany him on his journey through the underworld.

Nephthys is the Greek pronunciation of her name. To the Ancient Egyptians she was Nebthwt (Nebhhwt or Nebthet) meaning “the Mistress of the House”. The word “hwt” (“house”) may refer to the sky (as in Hwt-hor, the “House of Horus” – the name of Hathor), but it also refers to either the royal family or Egypt as a whole. The latter makes a great deal of sense as she was described as the head of the household of the gods and was thought to extend her protection to the head female of every household. She was sometimes associated with Ptah-Tanen in representing Lower Egypt, while Khnum and Isis represented Upper Egypt.

It seems that Nephthys was originally conceived of as the female counterpart of Set. He represented the desert, while she represented the air. Set was infertile (like the desert that he represented) and was frequently described as either bisexual or gay, and so Nephthys was often considered to be barren.

As a goddess of the air, she could take the form of a bird, and because she was barren she was associated with the vulture – a bird which the Egyptians believed did not bear children. The Egyptians thought that all vultures were female (because there is very little difference in the appearance of a male vulture), and that they were spontaneously created from the air. While the care shown by a mother vulture for her child was highly respected, the Egyptians also recognised that vultures fed on carrion and associated them with death and decay. As a result, Nephthys became a goddess of death and mourning.

Professional mourners were known as the “Hawks of Nephthys”, in recognition of her role as a goddess of mourning. It was also believed that she protected Hapi in his role as of the Four sons of Horus (who guarded the organs stored in the four canopic jars). Hapi protected the lungs, and as a goddes of the air Nephthys was his guardian.

She was also one of the four goddesses who guarded the shrine buried with the pharaoh. She appears with Isis, Selkit (Serqet), and Neith on the gilded shrine of Tutankhamun, but was often depicted with Isis, Bast, and Hathor in this role. Yet, she was also said to be the source of both rain and the Nile river (associating her with Anuket) and was thought to protect women in childbirth (with the assistance of her sister, Isis). Thus she was closely associated with both death and life.

Although she was technically infertile, later myths claimed that Nephthys was the mother of Anubis by either Osiris or Set (depending on the myth). This came about because Anubis’ position as the god of the dead was usurped by Osiris when the theologies of the Ennead and the Ogdoad merged.

According to one myth Nephthys disguised herself as Isis to get the attention of her neglectful husband Set, but instead seduced Osiris (who apparently did not realise that it was Nephthys). An alternative myth made it clear that Nephthys intended to seduce Osiris from the beginning and drugged his wine to make her task easier, while a less common myth held that she tricked her husband into a brief dalliance in order to conceive Anubis. It is suggested that this tale also explained the flowering of a plant in a normally barren area because Set apparently discovered the adultery when he found a flower left by his brother Osiris.

Isis and Nephthys were very close despite Nephthys’ alleged infidelity with Osiris (the husband of Isis) and her marriage to Set (the murderer of Osiris). Nephthys protected the body of Osiris and supported Isis as she tried to resurrect him. The goddesses are so similar in appearance that only their headdresses can distinguish them and they always appear together in funerary scenes.

Together Isis and Nephthys could be said to represent day and night, life and death, growth and decay. In Heliopolis, Isis and Nephthys were represented by two virginal priestesses who shaved off all of their body hair and were ritually pure.

Nephthys was usually depicted as a woman with the hieroglyphs of her name (a basket on top of the glyph representing the plan of an estate) on her head. She could also be depicted as a mourning woman, and her hair was compared to the strips of cloth used in mummification.

Nephthys also occasionally appears as a hawk, a kite, or a winged goddess in her role as a protector of the dead. Her major centers of worship were Heliopolis (Iunu, in the 13th Nome of Lower Egypt), Senu, Hebet, (Behbit), Per-mert, Re-nefert, Het-sekhem, Het-Khas, Ta-kehset, and Diospolites.

Gods – Osiris

Egyptian God Osiris

In Egyptian mythology, Osiris is the god sent by Ra as pharaoh to rule over the first inhabitants of Egypt, along with his sister and wife Isis. Osiris was wise, intelligent, and benevolent. He led mankind on the path to greatness, joy, and prosperity in just a few centuries of reign.

Nevertheless, Osiris’ success was not appreciated by all: Set, Osiris’ brother, became very jealous of Osiris and planned to assassinate him.

Thus, in order to take the power of Osiris by force, Set traps Osiris by organizing a great contest during a banquet organized in the honor of Osiris and Isis. During this feast taking place on the banks of the Nile and welcoming many guests, Set brings a pretty chest decorated with rich jewels that he proposes to offer to anyone who would be able to enter fully into it.

Surprisingly, none of the guests manage to do so. But if no one can get into Set’s chest, it’s for a very simple reason: Set’s chest is specially designed so that only Osiris can enter inside.

When it is the Egyptian ruler’s turn to try to get into the chest, Set immediately welds the openings in the chest. He then throws the chest into the Nile, killing Osiris by drowning.

One of the symbols for Osiris

Osiris is the Egyptian god of life, death and resurrection. He took on many roles, names and forms in ancient Egyptian mythology over time. He is also a prominent god of the Heliopolitan Ennead.

Osiris (the Greek form of his name) was known as Asir in ancient Egypt. Other names or epithets he went by, include “Lord of Eternity”, “Great God” and “Foremost of the Westerners”.

Osiris Facts

Name(s): Osiris, Osiris-Apis
Rules over: Land of Egypt (Old Kingdom), Underworld (New Kingdom)
Gender: Male
Symbols: Atef Crown, Crook
Sacred animals: Ostrich Feathers on Atef Crown
Parents: Geb, Nut
Siblings: Horus, Set, Isis, Nephthys

Family

As the oldest son of Geb, the earth god, and Nut, the sky goddess, Osiris features in many stories and myths documented in ancient religious texts. He is brother to Set, Horus the Elder, Isis, and Nephthys, and father to Horus the Younger (with Isis) and Anubis (with Nephthys).

The most famous myth about Osiris is also a central one in ancient Egyptian religion. Different versions are told, but it generally describes how he is killed by his jealous brother Set and his body then scattered in pieces over Egypt. A grieving Isis searches for and finds all the pieces except his penis. Nephthys and Anubis help her put the body back together but have to make him a new penis from gold. He comes back to life just long enough for Isis to become pregnant with Horus the Younger.

Symbols

Mostly depicted as a partially mummified pharaoh, Osiris’ complexion is commonly green (representing rebirth), but sometimes black (representing the fertile floodplain of the Nile River). On his head is often the Atef crown, a headdress with two feathers on either side and a disc at the top. He usually has a beard like those of the pharaohs and carried a crook and flail. The crook symbolizes his role as a shepherd god.

Powers & Duties

In Egyptian mythology, Osiris was originally the founder of agriculture. He allegedly persuaded the Egyptians to end cannibalism (though there is no evidence that they were ever cannibals). This myth is linked to his role of presiding over death and resurrection, processes which are compared to the cycles of growth and decay experienced in nature.

Osiris’ prominence was evident in the fact that he was often simply referred to as “god.” He was viewed as an equal and sometimes even superior to Ra, the sun god.

After his death, Osiris became the king of the underworld. Instead of being feared in his role as the god of death, he was associated with resurrection and regeneration, and his presence in the underworld was viewed as comforting. This fact is illustrated in many portrayals where he wears a kind smile on his face.

Worship

In the Early Dynastic period, the center of Osiris’ worship was in Abydos, where his head is said to be buried.

During Akhet, the first season of the ancient Egyptian calendar, festivals were held across Egypt to celebrate Osiris’ life, death, and rebirth.

Osiris absorbed and became associated with many other deities over time. They included Wepwawet, Sahu, Banebdjed, and Anhur. This means that he was almost constantly worshiped across Egypt until the rise of Christianity during the time of the Roman Empire. His cult continued in Philae, an island in the Upper Nile, until the time of Emperor Justinian I (527 to 565).

Facts About Osiris

  • The people of ancient Egypt believed that Osiris disappeared into the underworld with their crops during winter;
  • Examples of corn mummies made of seeded dirt and molded to resemble Osiris were found in Tutankhamen’s tomb. It is believed such “mummies” were placed in many tombs with the dead. The seeds germinated in the dark are a symbol of rebirth;
  • The people of Mendes worshipped Osiris’ soul as an aspect called Banebdjed, with “Ba” referring to his soul and “djed” referring to a pillar. Benebdjed is depicted as a ram in ancient Egyptian art;
  • The ostrich feathers on each side of the Atef crown are said to represent Osiris’ cult center at Djedu;
  • Some myths held the belief that the pharaohs became Osiris when they died;
  • The judgment scene in Book of the Dead describes how Osiris welcomes the deserving dead into his kingdom after being judged by 42 divine judges. Those who did not live a good life are left to the mercy of a “devourer”;
  • After Osiris died at the hand of Set, Anubis presided over his mummification, thereby becoming the first embalmer. Anubis was the original god of the underworld before Osiris took over;

Interpreting Your Dreams, According to Your Zodiac Sign c. 2019

Interpreting Your Dreams, According to Your Zodiac Sign

Use your sign to decode the mystery

By Tarot.com Staff  Astrology, Dreams This content authored by Stephanie Clement

Do you wish you understood your dreams better? What does it mean to dream about your house, your family, or a wild animal? Is your dream revealing the future? Dreams occur every night, even though you may not remember them. And dreams provide all kinds of information to help you in your daily activities.

Not interested in a lot of psychological mumbo jumbo? You can learn to interpret your own dreams, using a style that takes advantage of your zodiac sign. Put astrological resources to use in the interesting world of your unique dreams!

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

You don’t need to get ready or get set.  You just go, Aries! Use that initiative to penetrate the mysteries of your dream life. Lucid dreams — dreams in which you take conscious control in the dream — are your natural stock in trade. As you go to sleep, affirm that you will actively choose how to participate in your dreams. Confronting a scary dream character or situation will help you to face fears in your daily life.

 

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Naturally practical, you want to find good uses for your dreams. No problem. As you begin to record your dreams, you will find consistent themes running through them. Among the dependable characters and images you also find unusual factors that capture your interest. Pay attention to unusual characters, symbols, or actions in your dreams, and be sure to record any physical sensations you have upon awakening from the dream.

 

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Alert and generally open-minded, your approach to understanding your dreams includes the assumption that most dreams have a friendly quality. Even difficult dreams provide answers to questions that come up during the day. You may be impatient to understand your dreams, or you may only spend a moment or two thinking about a dream when you wake. With a little experience, you will become quite the story teller as you record your lively dreams.

 

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Because you tend to go with the flow of life, you often seem to know what is coming up without having to think about it much. When the flow meets an obstacle, your dreams can become a valuable guide. You suddenly note that the action of your dreams is more compelling than the content. You will recall the feelings you had in your dreams with greater ease when you add dreams to your journal on a regular basis.

 

Leo (July 23 – Aug 22)

You have a powerful decision-making process that provides a comfort level as you attend to work, family or recreational matters. But sometimes you are not certain what to do. Your dreams offer valuable messages from your inner self and suggest options. Persistent characters that appear in many dreams are trying to steer you in a certain direction. While you’re awake take time to meditate and dialogue with the people or animals in your dreams to clarify their messages.

 

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sept 22)

Animal dreams can provide vivid symbols that synchronize with your intuition. Although you focus on details and logic when awake, in your dreams you sometimes experience a bewildering “forest” of bizarre characters and images. This is your psyche speaking to you in the metaphorical language of dreams. Don’t expect to sort dreams using logic alone. Sometimes dream insights don’t correlate to facts until much later, yet your dream images have the compelling ring of truth.

 

Libra (Sept 23 – Oct 22)

Your dreams provide two very real kinds of support for your waking life. First, they often balance your waking activities by compensating for anything that is lacking. Second, they confirm feelings and decisions, making you more confident of your actions. Dream intuition may steer you in a specific different direction, or you may wake from a dream more comfortable with a decision you have made recently. Either way, your dreams help you develop sound judgment.

 

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Change is not your favorite experience. Emotionally you like things to run on an even keel, and change upsets that easy rhythm. Dreams provide healing messages that carry you through difficult periods of turmoil. They may give you intuitive insight into healing methods, or they help you to maximize any healing technique you use by bringing healing power to the site of a problem in your body or mind. Trusting your dreams means paying attention, recording dreams, and noticing how they affect your waking experience.

 

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

More than most people, your strong philosophical or spiritual inclinations make it possible for you to have prophetic dreams. Record your dreams to track their messages. You will perceive the connections and learn to understand the forecasts that come to you while you are sleeping. You will discover that your intuition becomes more refined as you explore the meaning of your dreams.

 

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The conservative nature you often project during the day bears little resemblance to your sleeping life! Dreams of epic proportions populate your nights. Honor these dreams by recording them. Share them with people you trust. Use images that come through dreams to enhance your work or home environment. Recurring dream images help to clarify the meaning of elaborate stories produced and directed by your dream ego.

 

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Where dreams are concerned, you have a remarkable talent for producing metaphysical characters and stories. Dreams support your intuitive processes by offering exotic ideas and symbols for your consideration when you wake up. As you pay attention, you find that your dreams often include spotlighted images, characters, or settings that cue your thinking when you awaken. You may experience sleep disturbances as your intuition develops. If this happens get in the habit of walking in the evening after supper.

 

Pisces (Feb 19 – March 20)

Spiritual or mystical dream elements provide you with an intuitive window on the future. Pay close attention to unusual or recurring symbols in your dreams, as they provide the information you need and inspire confidence to let go of issues from your past that no longer have significance in your life. When a dream offers an unusual symbol, research it on the Internet or at the library to understand its archetypal nature more fully.

Tarot Card

General

All aspects of today’s reading come from the Page of Pentacles from tarotx.net

Page of Pentacles

The Page of Pentacles shows a young man, standing alone in the middle of fertile land. There was a lush forest of fruit trees behind him, promising a plentiful harvest. He walked slowly and did not know anything about the surrounding area. He focused on nothing but the gold coin in his hands. The sky is bright and everything is going very well on the path leads to his future success.

In Tarot court cards, The Page is a card of new beginnings, inspiration and early stages of a creative project. Pentacles correspond to the element of Earth in Alchemy. Therefore, the fact that the Page treasures the gold coin shows an awareness, appreciating the value of money not only physically but also about the related needs such as health, food, and clothes.

Three

THE CREATIVE CHILD

The Love Child of Zeus and Hera.

In the previous chapter (on the number 2), I described the unique union between the numbers 1 and 2 as that of the father and mother unit, while revealing the contradictory natures of their personalities. Now, we move on to what could be considered the result of their union: the number 3, an extraordinarily talented child.

The number 3 is like a gifted teenager who is still under the protection of its parents – a bit spoiled, clearly scattered, and perpetually in need of guidance. However, the 3 excels in the creative field.

An individual with 3s in key points of their numerology chart will have a passionate need to express feelings, ideas, and vision. Coupled with an extroverted personality, they are likely to seek a career in art, especially the verbal arts.

Another unique quality of the 3 is the tendency to be “lucky,” or rather, to be in the right place at the right time. This may be connected to their innate sense of rhythm – the 3 seems to be in tune with the cyclical nature of their surroundings.

Their social skills are also excellent.

Charm, wit and a sense of humor help a 3 along their path, and a compelling charisma make them particularly attractive.

Followers are willing to forgive less favorable traits exhibited by 3s, such as their lack of focus and direction, a tendency to procrastinate, an inability to finish projects, and an unwillingness to take responsibility.

There is also a superficial side to the 3 that can be harder to look past – a narcissistic streak, the need to be the center of attention. It’s easy for the optimistic 3 to enjoy day-to-day life as long as all is well, but when challenging issues arise, internal fortitude is often lacking.

Without little focus on deeper aspects, the 3 can succumb to difficulties unless friends and family provide support.

For the 3 to become a balanced, happy person they must learn discipline. Fortunate 3s who exhibit talent early in life (such as gifted dancers and music prodigies) are often placed in environments with just the sort of discipline a 3 needs to protect those talents.

Relationships can be a bit of a challenge for the 3, at least those requiring long-term commitment and loyalty. With plenty of acquaintances (probably more than is healthy), when true depth and intimacy enter the picture, the 3 may turn tail and run.

The 3 can have a jealous streak too, causing conflicts when those it has rejected move on in search of more meaningful bonds.

Jealousy stems from the 3 recognizing it has been skimming the surface of life since birth. As a result, they feel insecure, thinking others know things that have escaped them.

But, once a 3 finds the motivation to delve deeply into the realities of life (something that may only happen when confronted), its happy facade has the potential to be replaced by the serenity true wisdom brings. Such a “transformed” 3 is a thing to behold.

No one is represented by just one number but is a mixture of several if not all the numbers in their chart. Those who are blessed with a heavy dose of 3s in their numerology chart tend to have an easier time being happy, optimistic, and playful.

However, this kind of “joie de vivre” can leave those same people unprepared for the more demanding experiences that life inevitably brings.

While the western mindset focuses on happy moments as the ideal, unhappy experiences are often the ones that bring greater depth and quality to our life.

For the number 3, happiness might be easy to achieve, but is almost always a consequence of something materialistic or fleeting (a new car, a new relationship, a sunny day). A higher happiness, one that is not the consequence of a particular event but the result of a deep appreciation toward life itself, is worth a million times more.

The biggest challenge for the 3 is to recognize the real beauty of life is not found in possessions or frivolity, but in the deepest aspects of being human.

When the 3 defies the odds to achieve this state of being, the fact that it has had to travel far to reach such a height makes this number uniquely qualified to help others reach the same goal.

Eight Hundred and Eight

808] What is the meaning of angel number?

Angel number 808 mainly means “richness” or “believing mind.” If you look closely at the 808 numbers recently, this 808 is the angel number given to you. Each of the three digits is significant, so let’s focus on the numbers that come out.

[808] meaning: God gives richness

808 is an auspicious message: “Everything you need comes from angels and God.” God and angels will support you, even if you are lucky. You should spend your days appreciating such things.

Meaning of [8]: Richness is approaching

Each of the numbers in the angel number has a meaning, and we focus on each of the numbers that come out. First of all, the number 8 that comes out means “you will be richer”. It shows that you will be financially rich and will give you time for money and things to be accomplished.

It suggests the richness of human relations as well as the economics, indicating that the people around you can be supported.

Meaning of [0]: Beginning with reset

0 is a special number whose number does not change even when added. Therefore, it serves to emphasize the meaning of the combined number. This number indicates that you can receive support from the universe and God. In addition, 0 is obviously the first number, so it represents a new beginning and a reset.

Meaning of [7]: Your choice is right

808 can be broken down into 8, 0 and 8 and added up to 16. 16 can be decomposed into 1 and 6, so add it to 7. So at first glance I don’t know, but the angel number 808 also has the meaning of 7. The number 7 means “I’m okay as it is”, and it allows me to make my own decisions and decisions. You should be confident.

Message of Angel Number 808

So, what message is included in the meaning of angel number 808? Know what the message Angel Number 808 is sending you.

Let’s be aware of the richness of the heart

Angel number 808 is mirrored by 8 which means that the heart is rich. It means receiving the support of God and angels when trying to do things. It’s a good idea to recognize such a richness of the mind that can help you accomplish something.

Express your feelings firmly

Angel number 808 is a very good number, indicating that there is support from God and angels. Better things will happen if you are confident and express your feelings. Keeping your feelings in the sky is not a good thing, so be honest with your feelings.

Material changes come

The meaning of angel number 808 also means “I am not afraid of change.” Angel number 808 suggests that material changes are coming, so it’s better to be willing to accept changes when they happen.

Maintain positive thinking

You need to be positive and positive. Positive thinking is on your side when embracing change. Positive thinking can help you do better.

Let’s work for people

Angel number 808 also has the meaning of being a person with a wide heart. In particular, the state of the soul is shining, so it is good to maintain your current state with confidence. If you want to make your soul shine more, you should work not only for yourself but also for others.

Get support from angels

The ability to receive support from God and angels is also a feature of people with angel number 808. By accepting change and achieving goals with a positive attitude, you will be able to follow the path guided by the angels. This is an angel number that helps you get help when you do something.

The end comes and the encounter begins

Angel number 808 shows a new change. For those seeking new encounters, it suggests that they are meeting in good situations. For example, if the car number was angel number 808, the angel number may be a hint to meet, such as when you meet through a car.

Accept the changes that come

The number 8 used in angel number 808 indicates a change. If you accept the changes you come, things will go smoothly with the support of God and angels. You should also be confident and have a successful image.

Use your richness for others

Angel number 808 is a symbol of richness. Use your richness, supported by God and angels, for others, not yourself. If you use the wealth you enjoyed for others, your fortunes will turn around.

Don’t judge it for good or bad

Angel number 808 also means “you think about things for good or bad.” Thinking about whether to lose or gain is a self-oriented approach, not a benefit. If you do so, you will fail, so try to think God-centered and not move on your own account.

The number 7 when decomposing angel number 808 indicates stability. Not only that, but also the meaning and richness of believing in the 808 numbers themselves. Therefore, it is thought that lovers will be stable if they believe each other. I am also good at understanding the other person’s feelings, so you will not see any particular upheaval about love.

Meet your ideal partner

It is said that the love of Angel Number 808 actually indicates that unrequited love is best fulfilled. It is said that the situation where you meet your love partner is the best, and you will meet like a movie or drama. The situation when you see an angel number can be linked to love.

Marriage is calm

It is said that the love of Angel Number 808 is calm, but the marriage is the same, suggesting that “you can spend peace and happiness.” There is no quarrel, you can have a peaceful day, and the feelings of the two can communicate with each other, so there is less of a gap between your hearts.

Conclusion

In angel number 808, the meaning of each number indicates that the richness of 8, starting with a reset of 0, and the chosen path of 7 are correct.

The message of angel number 808 signifies the onset of material changes, such as awareness of the richness of the mind and expressive feelings. You can also receive support from angels, so it’s a good idea to maintain positive thinking and embrace the changes that come. Use your prosperity for others, and don’t judge it by profit or loss.

In addition, as for the love tendency of Angel Number 808, the relationship with the lover is stable, the situation of the encounter is ideal, and the marriage is calm.

Animal Spirit Guide or Helper

Today’s Animal Spirt Guide card comes from Messages from Your Animal Spirit Guides Oracle Cards by Steven D. Farmer Copyright 2008

Dog

Your loyalty and faithfulness is misplaced by serving to many masters.

“Whom do you serve?” is the question at hand here. When you compromise your personal integrity through misguided attempts to placate others out of fear of their disapproval or to avoid up setting them, you deny your own inner authority and give away your power. You become their servant, and they, your masters. You allow this by assuming that another person or organization has greater knowledge, power, or spiritual wisdom than you, and put yourself in “less Than” position. While other may possess some of these attributes to a greater degree than you do, you can honor them as teachers — not masters.

Children may rightly look to their parents for this sort of guidance. However, as they mature, it’s appropriate that the leash to their parents’ authority stretches and is eventually severed. The human error is to continue to project this parental authority onto other people and institutions, and then either subjugate their will or act in opposition to that perceived authority. Over a number of years, you may find yourself attached to the leashes of their masters, leading you to feel fragmented and, to some degree, powerless. Instead, take off those collars, and let Spirit be your one true Master. Then you will experience true freedom.

Gods – Charge Of The God

Oak and Holly Kings

Charge Of The God on summergoddess.wordpress.com

Since Wicca is about balance in the Universe; a newer addition to the tradition is the “Charge of the God”. Once again, there are several versions out there for you to choose from. I am listing two here for you to see; the first is from my personal Book of Shadows, the second was another version that I liked for its content and poetic flow. (Once again, you will notice that the version I use does not have the names of the God listed within the first line.)

As I said before; Wicca is about balance. For this reason I feel that the Charge of the God is necessary when invoking the combination of the Goddess and the God within your ritual. This gives you the balance of the feminine; (wisdom and emotion,) and the masculine; (strength and protection,) in your rituals and spell casting.

The Charge Of The God

Listen to the words of the Great Father, who of old was called by many names:

My law is harmony with all things.

Mine is the secret that opens the gates of life and Mine is the dish of salt of the Earth that is the body of Cernunnos, which is the eternal circle of rebirth.

I give the knowledge of life everlasting; and beyond death, I give the promise of regeneration and renewal.

I am the sacrifice, the Father of all things and My protection blankets the Earth.

Now hear the words of the dancing God, the music of whose laughter stirs the winds, whose voice circles the seasons:

I who am the Lord of the Hunt and the Power of the Light; sun among the clouds and the secret of the flame, I call upon your bodies to arise and come unto me.

For I am the flesh of the Earth and all its beings.

Through Me all things must die and with Me they are reborn.

Let My worship be in the body that sings–for behold, all acts of willing sacrifice are My rituals.

Let there be desire and fear, anger and weakness, joy and peace, awe and longing within you.

For these; too, are parts of the mysteries found within you, within Me. All beginnings have endings, and all endings have beginnings.

Dream Interpretation and Symbolism – How to Interpret (Just One Theory)

How to Interpret Dreams

Here are four main theories about what dreams might mean

Dreams can be mysterious, exhilarating, or even terrifying, but understanding the meaning of our dreams can be downright baffling. While many theories exist to explain why we dream, no one yet fully understands their purpose, let alone how to interpret the meaning of dreams. However, psychologists have developed theories that might explain what dreams mean.

Here are four theories that can help you figure out what your dreams mean:

  1. Dreams as the Road to the Unconscious Mind: Developed by Sigmund Freud, this theory stated that dreams signified what people desire.
  2. Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious: Carl Jung also believed that dreams represented repressed wishes but also noted that dreams explored the underdeveloped parts of the mind.
  3. Dreams as a Cognitive Process: Calvin S. Hall theorized that what people do and think in their waking lives are what they see in their dreams.
  4. Dreams as a Reflection of Waking Life: G. William Domhoff, who worked with Hall, theorized a similar explanation for dreams.
Read ahead to learn more about each theory and how you can use them to interpret your dreams.

Freud: Dreams as the Road to the Unconscious Mind

In his book “The Interpretation of Dreams,” Sigmund Freud suggested that the content of dreams is related to wish fulfillment.

Dream Are Our Wishes

Freud believed that the manifest content of a dream or the actual imagery and events served to disguise the latent content or the unconscious wishes of the dreamer. In other words, Freud believed that the content of your dreams shows what you desire in life.

Dream Work

Freud also described four elements of this process that he referred to as “dream work:”1

  1. Condensation: Many different ideas and concepts are represented within a single dream. Information is condensed into a single thought or image.
  2. Displacement: This element of dream work disguises the latent content’s emotional meaning by confusing the dream’s important and insignificant parts.
  3. Symbolization: This operation also censors the repressed ideas in the dream by including objects meant to symbolize the latent content of the dream.
  4. Secondary revision: During this final stage of the dreaming process, Freud suggested that the bizarre elements of the dream are reorganized to make the dream comprehensible, thus generating the dream’s manifest content.

Jung: Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious

While Carl Jung shared some commonalities with Freud, he felt that dreams were more than an expression of repressed wishes.

Dreams Explore the Underdeveloped Mind

Jung suggested that dreams revealed both the personal and collective unconscious and believed that dreams compensate for parts of the psyche that are underdeveloped in waking life.

Jung’s Four Archetypes

Jung also suggested that archetypes such as the anima, the shadow, the animus, and the persona are often represented as symbolic objects or figures in dreams.2

These symbols, he believed, represented attitudes that are repressed by the conscious mind.

Unlike Freud, who often suggested that specific symbols represent specific unconscious thoughts, Jung believed that dreams can be highly personal and that interpreting these dreams involved knowing a great deal about the individual dreamer.

Hall: Dreams as a Cognitive Process

Calvin S. Hall looked for themes and patterns by analyzing thousands of dream diaries from participants, eventually creating a quantitative coding system that divided what’s in our dreams into several categories.

Dreams Contain Patterns Related to Waking Life

Hall proposed that dreams are part of a cognitive process in which dreams serve as “conceptions” of elements of our personal lives.3

According to Hall’s theory, interpreting dreams requires knowing the following:

  • The actions of the dreamer within the dream
  • The objects and figures in the dream
  • The interactions between the dreamer and the characters in the dream
  • The dream’s setting, transitions, and outcome

The ultimate goal of this dream interpretation is not to understand the dream, however, but to understand the dreamer. Research by Hall revealed that the traits people exhibit while awake are the same as those expressed in dreams.

Domhoff: Dreams as a Reflection of Waking Life

G. William Domhoff is a prominent dream researcher who studied with Calvin Hall at the University of Miami.

Dreams Represent Daily Life

In large-scale studies on the content of dreams, Domhoff has found that dreams reflect the thoughts and concerns of a dreamer’s waking life.

Domhoff suggests a neurocognitive model of dreams in which the process of dreaming results from neurological processes and a system of schemas.4 Dream content, he suggests, results from these cognitive processes.

Popularizing Dream Interpretation

Since the 1970s, dream interpretation has grown increasingly popular. Ann Faraday’s 1974 book “The Dream Game” outlined techniques and ideas anyone can use to interpret their dreams.

Today, consumers can purchase various books that offer dream dictionaries, symbol guides, and tips for interpreting and understanding dreams.

How Biases Affect Dream Interpretation

Researchers Carey Morewedge and Michael Norton have studied the dreams of over 1,000 individuals from the United States, India, and South Korea.5

They discovered that few college students who participated in the research believed that their dreams were simply the brain’s response to random stimulation. Instead, most endorsed Freud’s notion that dreams reveal unconscious wishes and urges.

What they also discovered, however, is that the weight and importance people attach to their dreams depends largely on their biases. People are more likely to remember negative dreams if they involve people they dislike. They are also more likely to take positive dreams seriously if they involve friends or loved ones.

In other words, people are motivated to interpret their dreams in ways that support their already existing beliefs about themselves, the world, and the people around them.

The researchers found that such things as the confirmation bias and the self-serving bias can impact how people respond to their dreams.

Because people tend to take their dreams seriously, the researchers suggest, they can also become a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you dream that you will fail an exam, you might be less motivated to study or even become so stressed out that you perform poorly.

Dreams may or may not have meaning, but the fact remains that interpreting dreams has become a popular pastime.

Moon Alert

Caution! Avoid shopping or major decisions from 9:30 AM to 6 PM EDT today (8:30 AM to 3 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Virgo into Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is another day with confusion and possible deception, especially related to your work, your health or a pet. This means you might be kidding yourself about a health issue. Think about that. Meanwhile, if you think a coworker is not on the level with you, look into it.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Some kind of confusion and misunderstanding related to your kids or a romantic partner or a social situation continues to blur things for you. This might also have something to do with sports. The main thing is to know that there is possible confusion. Don’t take things for granted.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Like yesterday, relations with parents, bosses, teachers and the police are fuzzy or unclear about something. They might not know what you want; or perhaps, you don’t know what they want. Don’t hide anything for fear of embarrassment. Come clean now.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Don’t fall for propaganda related to politics, religion and racial issues today, which will be very easy to do. Don’t let other people do your thinking for you. Listen to ideas that others have but make your own mind up. Test them in your own mind. Don’t be a sheep, be an eagle.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is another day where there is confusion about money, earnings or something to do with your possessions. Don’t turn a blind eye to these issues. Make a personal resolve to face them and figure out what’s going on. In a case like this, procrastination could cost you money.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Expect confusion talking to close friends, partners and spouses today. Possibly, you’re disappointed because you did not express your expectations to someone? Others can’t read your mind. You have to be clear and ask for what you want. If you are disappointed – say so.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Something going on behind the scenes might introduce confusion to your job or something to do with a pet. It might relate to your health. You are ambitious now because you want to achieve a lot. This also means you need your body as a resource. Take care of it.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be observant with your kids today because they might need your help and not even know it. Possibly, they are in trouble or hiding something from you. Likewise, romantic relationships might be fuzzy and unclear (more than usual). Pay attention.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Do your best to avoid misunderstandings when dealing with parents or bosses and VIPs today. Anyone in a position of authority might make the wrong assumptions about you; and vice versa, you might make wrong assumptions about them. (Never underestimate the power of courtesy.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

If you are making travel plans, double check all details because today is rife with confusion and errors. Do not assume that everything is flowing the way you hoped. Go back and double check details. Be extra clear with people from other cultures or different countries.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is the second day in a row where there is confusion about money, banking, earnings or your possessions. Whatever it is it can affect your wealth. Make sure you know what’s going on. And if you are suspicious about a certain area – investigate it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be extra clear talking to others today. Make no assumptions. Be ready to accommodate and go more than halfway when dealing with others so that you can keep the peace and keep everyone happy. Just do it.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Robert Downey Jr. (1965) shares your birthday today. You are daring and charismatic. When inspired, you generate amazing energy for organization, activity and inducing others to leap on your bandwagon. This year service to others is a theme, which is why you need to take care of yourself. Perhaps a makeover? Others will turn to you for guidance.
