When stuff like this happens, there's always some sort of direct connection to something occurring, or about to occur. I'm not sure what's going on, but I just had an aluminum decorative Florida bowl fly off the pass-through. My spidey-sense (for lack of a better word) is tingling. Y'all be safe out there, especially if you are in Florida.
Community, this is the woman (@pamp) who had that incredible dream back in November about stone dragons in front of NYC coming alive and entering the water to swim towards the city, and as she watched them swim, it started snowing blood. She was seeing in November tourist buses, likely those China buses, bringing tourists with covid to NYC where that disease killed thousands of people. And this was at a time when almost no one, except the Chinese and Donald Trump knew about the threat of Covid-19 to the U.S. Hers was the most powerful of all of the premonitions of covid out of dozens.
If bowls are flying around her home and she sees it as a bad omen for Florida, I'm going to call my relatives in Orlando and tell them to be careful.
@tgraf66. I hadn't thought of that, but it is that time of year. I thought it was about covid surging there and the dire consequences in a population so elderly. But the winds are getting stronger now, and the increase is happening exponentially.

I'm sorry I don't have a link, but I have read multiple studies over the last few years that say:
- Rigid thinkers have ever so slightly below average intelligence
- Rigid thinkers fear authority, but tend to become authoritarian in their own lives
- Authoritarians gravitate to other authoritarians and tend to see the most pathological of their kind as leaders
- Authoritarians tend to be more conservative in their religious beliefs
- Authoritarians tend towards intolerance of anything and anyone that is even slightly unfamiliar to them, which is to say they tend to be very tribalistic as well
- Authoritarians operate day to day out of fear more than any other emotion, as a result they tend not to follow suggestions, only what they perceive as orders.
Add layers of possible mental illness, e.g., antisocial personality disorder, bipolar, narcissism, etc., and you end up with a volatile mix. Add in another layer of what amounts to mass hysteria, and well, you get the picture. It's not rosy.
And I do think there is an issue related to education. Sorry to repeat myself, but the neo-cons have been clawing back at public education since I was in kindergarten. It's like everything else, and I probably need to post this on another thread, but I'm putting it in caps:
PATCHWORK SYSTEMS DO NOT WORK UNLESS YOU ARE MAKING A QUILT!!!
Whether we're talking about education, healthcare, politics, this country is made up of so many divided patchworks that there's no national consensus on anything. There's no civic unity and as a result no civility.
So your relatives are just more stitches in whichever patchwork they are in. Your strength of compassion is awesome - I would not be able to (and in fact struggle daily with my BFF's views, even though she and her husband are not MAGAts).
Bless you, Bluebelle, stay strong!!!
Hi all - I have another longish reading (apparently, this is my current mode of operating!)
@jeanne-mayell Thanks, Jeanne! I lived in South Florida much of early life, and hurricanes are awful things. I had a dream back in March where I was looking at a map of the US. The southern states were on fire, but there was a huge hurricane heading their way.
I'm really hoping this doesn't come true.
@pamp Thanks for your insights and visions. So your thought was that it was a hurricane you were feeling? Certainly an object flying through the air in your own home in your mind's eye raises feelings of high winds. When you first mentioned your concern about Florida, I thought of the pandemic.
@cc21- I love this reading! As I watch the Trumpster Fire try to say that Biden isn't mentally fit to be President (while making a buffet of word salad himself) I'm especially in love with this part:
August - Queen of WandsHe is in control! He is controlling the narrative and becoming stronger. The text that resonated - calm authority; adaptability and persistent energy.
One of the things I've read is that Biden's lack of a response to attacks is really bothering Trump. The definitive case of the "ignore your bully and they'll go away" tactic we teach kids in action once again doesn't work in adults either. But it sure does make the adult ignoring it look a lot better, doesn't it? :-) A clear path I see to your prediction above coming true: Trump is getting increasingly childish and nasty in response. As Biden continues this, only having random, short, controlled pressers and responding to the issues, it's going to become clearer and clearer which one of these two is in control. It's fun to watch even if it's simultaneously depressing when you remember this is the leader of the free world we're talking about.
@cc21 So appreciative of the effort you put into this. It deserves more response, but I am going to focus on one thing: Oct. - The Hermit for Biden. I have had a lot of thoughts about his health. In fact, I'm not sure I see it holding up throughout his tenure in office and therefore his VP choice is crucial. At the same time, I feel like he has been chosen to begin the healing process from T's destructive actions and behavior and to pave the way for the next generation. So, I concluded that his not needing to be on a rigorous and exhausting campaign schedule plays perfectly into things. Thus, this jumped out at me when you wrote: I see this as Biden conserving his energy for the election and the job ahead. "He is still holding the light, though and shining "hope" to the world. He is turning inward for guidance and avoiding distractions prior to the election. The text indicates that this card represents divine inspiration, wisdom and prudence. Seemed to fit Biden well." Thank you so much for this effort and for sharing it. I'll only add that I keep seeing Kamala as VP (although that's coming from everywhere) but I also got a very strong feeling that they will have a wonderful working relationship.
@laura-f This complements the things I've read on authoritarians as well. Most of my authority came from John Dean's book CONSERVATIVES WITHOUT CONSCIENCE. Probably outdated now, but still relevant. I remember one of his statements was that no amount of evidence piled right in front of them will make a difference. Hence, Trump's base doesn't budge much--except on the edges.
Getting back to @pamp's premonition for Florida. I still feel it could be about covid in the next few weeks and then in the fall there are the hurricanes. I don't want to think about covid surging in Florida, with the high percentage of elderly.
@dannyboy - glad that some of this resonated with you! I agree - Biden is taking a good tack by not responding to Trumps continued tantrums and attacks.
@seeker4 - thank you! And I agree - I think Biden and Harris would have a wonderful working relationship. And I thought that Hermit card was really very interesting. Glad you resonated with that as well.
As a Florida resident, I can say that our sleepy, rural central Florida county has had exponential growth in COVID cases over the past week. As an ER nurse, I can tell you that we are testing many patients in the ER for it. I am seeing an uptick in respiratory illnesses in general, and in severity. I am very concerned about the next few months, and the upcoming flu season. Please, everyone, get your flu shot this fall if you are able.
@lowtide Thank you for letting us know how it is there and for you. Please know we will be sending healing and hope and praying for Florida and all places where covid is surging right now. But with such a high elderly population I am praying that Florida residents will stay away from crowds and respect social distancing.
Thank you, Jeanne. This is indeed an elderly population center and our community has many snowbirds. We just moved here a year ago, and it’s a different world. We never truly shut down here. People are about 50/50 with wearing masks and social distancing, even the elderly. I fear we are getting ready to reap the whirlwind for our carelessness. (Hopefully not in hurricane activity!)
@cc21 I love all the cards you pulled and the wonderful reading for both Harris and Biden. I agree with the Hermit card that Biden’s saving his energy. Trump’s ammo has always been to stir up the pot and get everyone so upset with his bullying tactics however sometimes silence could be golden. Biden’s spending his energy and resources calculating T’s every move yet he doesn’t need to counter T’s big mouth. It’s like having a baby, when you train your newborn to sleep through the night, you have to be patient and allow the newborn to cry and cry for hours for many nights maybe even weeks but eventually it will stop crying because the baby will soon recognized that crying will not get the parents attention. T is the cry baby and Biden’s letting him carry out his childish hissy fit. The hermit card to me shows that Biden is very spiritual person and he’s currently in a meditative state waiting for the child (T) to destroy it’s own wall. Biden just smile and wait for it.
Thank you for sharing your spread with us.
share the love and light
@cc21 I am fascinated by the psychology of authoritarians which, of course, makes up most of Trump's supporters. Inspired by cc21, I decided this morning to ask for a card that represented TRUMP SUPPORTERS. I pulled DEFEAT #5 in Swords. Although I thought I could leave it at that, I tried to read the card anyway: Their thinking is full of chaos and their swords of hate are showing wear and tear will be defeated. There is potential for them to evolve, but they have focused their attention on the tips of their swords which are now touching one another like a circular firing squad. They will be defeated.
Then, I asked for a card that represented BIDEN'S SUPPORTERS. No kidding, I pulled VIRTUE #3 in Wands. I saw their energy going out and emanating everywhere. Their wands are upright and look like they are blossoming. All is connected.
Crowley adds to DEFEAT: loss, malice, spite, weakness and slander.... I thought that pretty well nailed it. For VIRTUE, he adds established strength, Success after struggle (which I loved!) and realization of hope.
So, what do you think?
