Shop Chat - 333
A reader asks for personal reasons if we anyone can shed light on the meaning of the number 333.
Aleister Crowley wrote out long lists of magickal tables in his earlier years and I looked up those but the closest there was 325 = Sagittarius and 351 = Capricorn.
The other thing that strikes me is that 3+3+3 = 9 said to be the highest and most mystical number, the number of universal love and spiritual enlightenment
Some other notes I have on the number 9 are : grounding,immovability,prudence,becoming of self, self control, energy, mankind, oceans and horizons, summer
chinese = luck, mystical
traumatic emotional events, transformations, maturing, cycles, back to beginning
But I haven't done any numerology work for years - perhaps someone else can help????
There is also the old joke 333= only half bad

In the News - Worcester couple carves out offbeat lifestyle (UK)
. . . . .According to an essay by Julius Caesar, the average ancient Celt generally had to train for two full decades in order to become a druid.
Several millennia later, Vermonters can complete a course at the Green Mountain School of Druidry in three years. They're even able to achieve this goal by email, though that's likely to take a bit longer.
Ivan McBeth and his wife Fearn Lickfield offer these lessons from their hilly 70-acre Worcester homestead, dubbed Dreamland. There, McBeth has assembled a circle of 13 standing stones for druidic purposes. . . . .
. . . . After witnessing good omens - a rainbow around the sun and hawks in the sky overhead - they bought the property in 2006. Construction began the following year. The project hewed to what's known as the sacred geometry, in which symbolic meaning is ascribed to every shape and proportion. The technique was used in olden times on cathedrals, churches and mosques. . . . .

In the News - Emerging Archetypal Themes: Maleficent: Reclaiming the 13th Fairy and Our Relationship to the Divine Feminine
. . . . .
I have to begin this essay about the film Maleficent with praise for Linda Woolverton's storytelling. Her script is a beautiful, imaginative and archetypal re-telling of the mythic sleeping beauty motif. Ms. Woolverton obviously has a deep knowledge of all the variants of this fairy tale and has come up with a splendid version that speaks to our times and is visually enchanting. But the real impact comes from Maleficent' s symbolic layers, which show us the truth about our patriarchal society's wounding and rejection of feminine spirit, the wounding that caused the original tale to be told.
In fairy tales, we find the most basic, archetypal story patterns that have shaped our human development through the ages. Archetypal patterns show us the shared instincts that make us all human. Just as a King represents a dominant collective belief, a Queen represents the feelings we have about that belief. New feelings and beliefs arise as self-awareness grows among the people, and fairy tales change to reflect the new awareness and how to achieve it. And it's a storyteller's prerogative to shape the story to her tribe's needs. Linda Woolverton has done just that. She tells a story of what was, what is and what might be if we learn to love the things we have been taught to fear. . . . .

Your Say - making a choice
Hi Margaret
. ..
FYI: the pendant is lovely and the black cat plaque is adorable! I haven't played my Wendy Rule CD, but since Wendy does 'rule', I'm sure it will be wonderful, too. I do love shopping on your website - the only problem is making a choice!
Blessings to you
