So it is February 11th, 2022. In Numerologist terms it is 2, 11, 2022. Added together that is 10, which reduces to 1. The number 1 represents newness, movement, and the possibilities that
await us. In spiritual symbolism, it is the number of creation and the
birth of all things -- the divine origin of the universe.
Is it any wonder that on this day President Biden has requested that American citizens leave Ukraine. "We're dealing with one of the largest armies in the world," he said, "...and things could go bad quickly."
The birth of a new war is here. Mark my words. I warned you about this in my Year of the Tiger post a few days ago. The year of the Tiger is about masculine power, and what is even worse about this year is it is the Water Tiger. Water is the deep turbulence that happens underneath while the surface remains still. Things are being done in secret. Simply put: there is a backlog of masculine energy that needs to be released and it is about to happen. If not Russian attaching Ukraine, then China is still ready to fulfill this discharge of pinned-up masculitiy by taking full control over Taiwan just as it has Tibet and Hong Kong. President Biden has made it clear that the the US will support Taiwan; just yesterday the US agreed to send $100 million in missile support to Taiwan. Is this enough? Maybe, but doubtful. Consider this, President Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin had a public meeting last week. A show of force. They have each other's back. This public meeting doesn't scare me, what scares me are their private meetings, which, I have captured here on a hidden camera.
HOLD on to your seats boys and girls, today we are talking about the Esoteric Porn Star. That's right, she goes by Stormy Daniels. Truth is, she has a fascinating story with her clothes on and has a book I can't wait to read. Of course there is the President Donald Trump experience which made her famous. Yes, the president Christians love so much got himself some Stormy Daniels as she recounts in her book, also, on the Jimmy Kimmel Show if you want to watch it now. In her book she tells how Trump had her spank him with a magazine that he was on the cover of.
Ouch, that has to hurt, a little.
I had a feeling Trump was one of those materialistic guys that likes to be spanked by a Dominatrix. He is an open book when it comes to masochism. I mean, have you seen some of the looks his wife Melania makes? No doubt she's been in leather boots with a whip to get her way with the man-child.
NOT to forget her nude shots as shown in GQ magazine before she married the Donald:
Yeah, Trump is a kink, and our first Fifty Shades of Gray president. According to a paper published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, by Joris Lammers and Roland Imhoff, social power (having control over others’ outcomes) reduces inhibition. In other words, powerful men with a screw loose are more aroused by fantasies involving being submissive, than not.
Getting back to Stormy Daniels, her real name is Stephanie Gregory Clifford, and she was raised in Louisiana. She wanted to be a journalist in high school, but found stripping for money more rewarding. Recently, she was placed under oath in a civil law suit she has with her ex attorney, Michael Avenatti. He is an idiot, but he did get Stephanie, I mean, Stormy to open up about her Esoteric Side, and this is my topic of the day: the Esoteric Porn Star.
In his line of questioning, Michael Avenatti asked Stormy:
"How do you speak to the dead?"
"I don't know, it just happens," she said.
"How does it happen?"
"Cards, meditation."
"Do the dead speak back to you?" he continued.
"Yes."
"According to you, you experienced unexplained and frightening experience in you New Orleans home?"
"Yes."
"You experienced poltergeist?
"Yes."
"And shadow figures?"
"Yes."
"You claim that the experiences have caused you to have a mass in your head?"
"An energy worker told me that."
"You had a scan?"
"Yes, a Reiki scan."
"I want to talk with you about Susan, who you claim is a haunted doll."
"Correct."
"And she can walk?"
"No, but I have seen her in a different spots, I don't know how."
"And she can talk, and she calls out?"
"Anyone who's seen the video knows this."
"You heard her call out mommy?"
"We heard a voice and we assumed it was her."
"You charge people to read Tarot cards right?"
"Technically, oracle cards, but yes."
"You believe you're a medium right? "
"Correct."
"Can you explain what a medium is?"
"A medium is someone who communicates with spirits, non-living spirits, to be specific."
Wow, what a line of questioning from an idiot who just lost his case thinking anyone would find her answers weird. I mean, the esoteric is everywhere in everything we do. Right, Susan?
So it is the Year of the Tiger. Here are the esoteric highlights for you boys and girls.
The Chinese Zodiac dates back to the Qin Dynasty over 2000
years ago and is rooted in the pagan practice of zoolatry (or animal worship). As
the legend goes, the Jade Emperor challenged all the animals in the
Kingdom to a “Great Race.” Whoever arrived at his palace first would win
his favor. The Tiger was sure that he had the race in the bag, but
ended up placing third after the cunning Rat and workhorse Ox snuck in ahead of him. Thus, Tigers are extremely
competitive people, known for their courage and ambition.
If you were born in 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998 or 2010, you were born during the Year of the Tiger. Famous people born during Tiger years include Queen Elizabeth II, Christopher Lloyd, Stevie Wonder, Martin Short, Jon Bon Jovi, Leonardo DiCaprico, Penelope Cruz, Lady Gaga, Jon Batiste and Shawn Mendes. That’s some mega-talented company!
The Year of the Rat (2020) was about survival (Removing Donald Trump from office), and the Year
of the Ox (2021) was about anchoring ourselves in a new reality (Covid is here to stay). The
Year of the Tiger will be about making big changes. This will be a year
of risk-taking and adventure. I hate to tell you, but this probably means that there will be a Russian conflict in Ukraine, or China will impose its will on Taiwan, or worse, both! You see, the Tiger is associated with Yang (masculine, active)
energy, and as history has proven over and over: Masculinity = War. That's the bad side, there is the positive side to the Tiger which I am chanting for daily: Tigers are extremely generous with a drive to help
others. Tigers want to win but they’re also always seeking justice. So, let's pray/chant for the positive tiger to take hold of world events, especially when it comes to China, Russia, and the U.S.
And for the really, deep esoteric in all of us, one should know that in addition to animals, the Chinese Zodiac also cycles
through five elemental types. So, this is not only the Year of the
Tiger, it’s the year of the Water Tiger. Water is the deep, ocean and running waters of a stream. Which means, a lot of shit will be done in secret so we will really need to keep a watchful eye on the powers that be. The good news is that Water Tigers are
family-oriented and have wonderful interpersonal relationships. Though
they’re extremely driven and can be brash, their goal is always to do
what’s best for everyone, not just for themselves.
On an individual note, the colors of green and blue will bring good luck and fortune, and the lucky numbers are 1, 3, and 7 -- be sure to play them a lot at the races and lottery picks - ha. This is also a great
year for switching careers, building teams or getting back into creative
projects. Life is short so why not be happy?
Happy Year of the Tiger! Let's hope 😕

On February 4th, 1803, in Guatemala City, the criminal court (church) began prosecuting Juana
Aguilar for the crime of double concubinage with men and women. As the
court pursued the case against Aguilar, whose sexual ambiguity quickly
came to the fore, the judge referred the matter to the court of the
Royal Protomedicato, the bureaucracy that regulated medical and health
issues in the colonies. The Protomedicato requested that the physician
Narciso Esparragosa examine Juana Aguilar, called by the court “a
suspected hermaphrodite,” and present his findings. She became know as Juana the Long for her persecution, and after the examination, the scandalous size of her clitoris. Fitting, that on this day in 1967 the US launched the Lunar Orbiter #3 which looked like a woman’s...
I’m just saying.
NOw for the sad stuff, that meteor that is coming right for us is months, if not days away. This was revealed to me in a dream. We are due. I am not sure where it will hit yet, I'll let you know when it is revealed to me.
Meteors that are passing us today are 2022 BF1, it will be passing at around 1,480,000 km; 2022 AA, it will be passing at 1,580,000 km; 2022 BH2, it will be passing at 940, 000 km. Tomorrow 2022 BR6 and 2018 CA1 will be passing.
Archaeologists discovered the
tomb of a royal official named Hetpet on the Giza Plateau. The tomb
dates back more than 4,300 years.
Credit: Egypt Antiquities Ministry
Per a February 3 (hey, that's today!) posting in Live Science, "The tomb of a woman named Hetpet, who became a senior official in the
royal palace, has been discovered in a cemetery on the Giza Plateau,
archaeologists from Egypt's antiquities ministry announced on this day in 2018.
"The tomb dates back over 4,300 years, to a time after the Giza Pyramids had been constructed. While Giza is most famous for its pyramids, the site also contains large cemeteries that
archaeologists have been uncovering gradually for nearly two centuries.
These tombs often hold the burials of elite members of ancient Egyptian
society.
"The tomb also contains a shrine with a purification basin and places
where incense and offerings could be held. One area inside the shrine
may have held a statue of Hetpet, which is now missing, the
archaeologists suspect. The archaeologists didn't find a mummy inside
the tomb, but it's possible the mummy and statue were robbed in ancient
times, something that commonly occurred in ancient Egypt."
According to Ancient Alien Theorist,
well, we'll just have to wait and see what they say about this! I for
one believe it shows woman were more than just eye-candy (the Eye of Horus, get it?) back then.
I mean, consider the Cleopatra thing,
there is no doubt woman played a bigger part in humanity than they
would in years later when the Christian church took over and made woman
the missing rib of man's existence; after which, strong woman like Hetpet would become "witches." In more recent times, they became "bitches." Today, they are, well, woman on the verge of equality. That's a good thing.
Also, this news just in: Woman and Men have the same numbers of ribs! It is a fact, and another hole in the creation story so please stop trying to teach this shit in secular schools morons. Deal with it!

Today is a magical day. It is February 2, 2022. That is the repeating numbers of 222. If I may plagiarize, I mean quote The US Sun, today is part of the 222 sequence which will not return for another century after February 20, and February 22 of this month. Esoterically speaking, this is a fantastic day. According to numerology, this is a day charged with the energy of duality, partnership, relation and balance. The key lessons for this month on this 222 sequence day is to approach life with balance, compassion, and to seek partnership with others around you.
What the US Sun article doesn’t tell you but we here at EsotericDaily.com will: dates that can be read the same forward and backwards are called “Palindrome Dates.” You know 2-2-22 is 2-2-22 backwards or forwards. What is so special about today’s is it occurs on the 33rd of the year with 333 days left in the year. If you got up at 2:02am this morning as I did, you were 100% in the Palindrome matrix. Today there are more opportunities to reach ultimate sync with the numbers at 2:02pm , 8:20pm (20:20 military time). What I am saying here is this is a good day to buy 2 lottery tickets at $2.00 a ticket and let the numbers rule. I am and will report my excellent winnings to you tomorrow. Stay tuned.
Also, don’t think you are the Esoteric type? Think again for today is Ground Hog day and in Punxsutawney PA, PunxsutawneyPhil saw its shadow, and so millions of Americans are certain that there will be six more weeks of winter. This annual practice is as esoteric as reading tea leafs, bumps on a head, or energy messages from rocks. So stop pretending you’re not one of us and join the mystic before the Aliens return and take us all to Shangri-La without you!
Okay, I know you've heard about it, the Chinese New Year which starts way after the Roman/Christian/Walmart New Year. For my Pagan Brethren, the Chinese New Year is similar because it is Lunar, but instead of using the Winter's Solstice as a starting point, the Chinese use the second new moon after the winter solstice as it's starting point. This year it is February
The Chinese New Year begins and is celebrated for two consecutive weeks
until the full moon with a Spring Lantern Festival and Dragon Parade on the final day. Not being Chinese, I've westernized it someone, but do enjoy it as much as the other major holidays in my life. In fact, I put it up there with Halloween, Yule, and Litha.
First, I get all my cleaning out of the way before the New Year day. Cleaning the house is rids it of bad luck and past misfortunes. Then I prepare my hóngbāo or red envelopes with money to give as give for fortune to those I give them to. I will be given out some to homeless people this year. I figure they can use a little luck to combat the greedy capitalist foot chocking them. Then I make sure I have red on a window or door facing all four winds to ward off the bad luck. This practice comes from the ancient story of the evil beast Nián Shòu, who kept terrorizing a town until it saw a child wearing red and was never seen again. So, red is believe to ward off bad luck. It is the same believe that has businesses hanging those red scrolls with gold characters in their work places. The red wards off bad luck and the gold brings financial gains.
Until this year, I only had one lucky Chinese luck charm hanging in a window. It is the one I keep over my kitchen window and dedicated to love. Well, it worked and within a year of hanging it, I had my beautiful Chinese girlfriend cooking for me in that same kitchen.
Coinkidink? Maybe. We well see, for this year I am hanging red in all window, with a red scroll in my business room.
January 29th, and I have a followup for you on the Escaped Lab Monkeys from last week. Seems a Pennsylvania woman is now being treated for rabies from one of the escaping monkeys. She had stopped to help the crash victems and looked in one of the crates and was hissed at by a scared monkey. A few hours later she developed a cold and then pink eye.
In this report the writer explains how the monkeys cages were filled with piss and shit. And so I ask the question again: "Our We People or Monsters?"
Yes, we are Monsters, and this is the Planet of the Monsters (Humans). We experiment on monkeys who are scared shitless in a world they don't understand. What really sucks is the monkey could have been you or me in another life. There are those that believe we could have been lower lifeforms, but because of a good deed, like maybe we went against our instinct to eat a human we saw crying for dinner, and so we reincarnated into a higher life. Now, here's the kicker, if this is true, by doing nothing about animal cruelty you might be reincarnated into a lower life. If so, pray to the stars you aren't on this planet. Planet of the Monsters!

Coming Soon: Stormy Daniels Is The New Esoteric Porn Star! Go Stormy Go! -- With your clothes on, please.
January 28th, ruled by the number 1 (2+8=10, 1+0+1). The 1st card of the Major Arcana is The Magician, who symbolizes intellect, communication, information, as well as magic.
On this day in 1613, the Italian astronomer Galileo records a star that
might have been the planet Neptune, but cloudy weather prevents him from
further observations, and Neptune went unconfirmed until 1846. Pieces
were still without a solar planet until 1846, as Scorpios would be until
the discovery of Pluto on February 18th, 1930.
On this day in 1921, Einstein theorizes that the universe can be measured.
In 1986 on this day, the space shuttle Challenger lifts off from Cape
Canaveral, Florida: 73 seconds later it explodes, killing the crew,
which included high-school teacher Christa McAuliffe. Millions of
children were traumatized as they watched the live television feed from
their classrooms. Schoolrooms wouldn't be exposed to such a tragic
event again until September 11th, 2001, when then President George W Bush read (poorly, and upside-down, I might ad) My Pet Goat
to an elementary classroom after having been notified that the World
Trade Towers in New York were under attach. For those of us in the
esoteric, it was obvious he had to complete the reading of the
sacrificial goat for the dark powers he serves who were intentionally
sabotaging the buildings for another profitable war. Don't believe me?
Okay, then think about this: while Bush was reading the book, the
elementary school children were reciting the words: "Kite Hit Steel,
Plane Must."
What are the odds people?
9/11 is playing out while these kids are chanting five words and three
of which are Hit, Steel, Plane! Oh, and even more disturbing for those
of us not drinking the Conservative Messiah Kool-Aid, Bush enters the
room at 9:05am and leaves at 9:14am, so the words were being spoken at
exactly 9:11am.
See for yourself. Here is the video of the event as it happened, commerical free from your friends at withinfilm.com:
Wishing you all bright light on this glorious day, which in the old
Norse days, was known as the Festival of Fire, or Up-Helly-Aa. It
derived from the old Yuletide celebration of the triumph of the Sun over
the darkness of winter and pays tribute to the old Viking gods and
goddesses with the burning of a replica of a Viking ship.
Boys will be boys.
Engelmann and Elaine C. Bruner (1997)THE PET GOAT
A girl got a pet goat. She liked to go running with her pet goat. She played with her pet goat in her house. She played with her pet goat in her yard. But the goat did some things that made the girl's dad mad. The goat ate things. He ate cans and he ate canes. He ate pans and he ate panes. He even ate capes and caps. One day her dad said, "That goat must go. He eats too many things."
The girl said, "Dad, if you let the goat stay with us, I will see that he stops eating all those things."
Her dads said, "We will try it."
So the goat stayed and the girl made him stop eating cans and canes and caps and capes. But one day a car robber came to the girl's house. He saw a big red car near the house and said, "I will steal that car." He ran to the car and started to open the door. The girl and the goat were playing in the backyard. They did not see the car robber.
THE GOAT STOPS THE ROBBER (next story in the series)
A girl had a pet goat. Her dad had a red car. A car robber was going to steal her dad's car. The girl and her goat were playing in the back yard. Just then the goat stopped playing. He saw the robber. He bent his head down and started to run for the robber. The robber was bending over the seat of the car. The goat hit him with his sharp horns. The car robber went flying. The girl's dad ran out of the house. He grabbed the robber. "You were trying to steal my car," he yelled.
The girl said, "But my goat stopped him."
"Yes," her dad said. "That goat saved my car."
The car robber said, "Something hit me when I was trying to steal that car."
The girl said, "My goat hit you."
The girl hugged the goat. Her dad said, "That goat can stay with us. And he can eat all the cans and canes and caps and capes he wants." The girl smiled. Her goat smiled. Her dad smiled. But the car robber did not smile. He said, "I am sore."
Each year on the second new moon after the winter solstice the traditional Chinese New Year begins and is celebrated for two consecutive weeks until the full moon. On the first day of the New Year, ancestral spirits are honored and houses are decorated with strips of red paper to attract good luck and ward off evil ghosts. A Lantern Festival and Dragon Parade traditionally take place on the last night of the New Year celebration.
January 27th is also the annual Day of the Ishtar ceremony that takes place to honor the ancient Assyrian/Babylonian goddess of love, fertility, and battle. Ishtar is identified with the ancient Phoenician goddess called Astarte.
How can we go forward if we don’t know which way we are facing?
That questioned asked by John Lennon in song comes to mind today as I read the story on my news feed which reads “All 100 Lab Monkeys Accounted For After Several Escape Crash.”
If you’re like me you pictured in your mind 100 Disney Characters dancing for joy from their return to freedom. Unfortunately, that’s not the true picture of events. These monkeys were Lab Monkeys. That’s right, captives of the Planet of the Humans on their way to testing shampoos, diet pills, and whatever else someone is trying to make a buck on. Victims of greed. But you don’t care, your labradoodle has organic meat to eat and better health care than 99% of the world’s populace.
Thank Jesus you’re not a lab monkey. Thank Jesus your labradoodle is too cute to eat or test on. Thank God Chic-Fil-A doesn’t consider dog a tasty Christian meal.
You stink!
~~ Dr TV Boogie - President of “Stop Using Monkeys to Test Your Fucking Shampoo.”
The container the monkeys are transported in! Talk about trauma.
I have often spoke about coinkydinks, synchronicity, the power of suggestion, or whatever you want to call it. In Esoteric Terms, these things are the gifts that keep giving. In a past post (read it here) titled "Be Careful What You Say It Might Kill You." I told you about how Glen Miller, Mark Twain, and others foretold their deaths in idle chit-chat. What I want to tell you about today though, boys and girls, is a coinkydink that just happened this week with the singer named Meat Loaf who just died. It seems that on the day Meat Loaf died, Weber Grills put out a new recipe for "BBQ Meat Loaf" on their website, which they have recently come out and apologized for . It was one of those crazy things like how on the day that the movie Donnie Darko was released, we lost New York city towers to airplanes. Yes, the film was released on 9-11. In the film an aircraft engine falls out of the sky from nowhere with no reason and crashes through a bedroom ceiling. They had to pull the movie that day and re-release it at a later date. No chit.
Getting back to Meat Loaf, he was from East Texas and had studied to be a minister until he decided to drop religion and become an over-weight rock star. Another No Chit. I saw him at a small concert in Dallas where I couldn't believe the energy. I am still vibrating from it.
Anyway, here is the recipe because, well, I think Marvin Lee Aday, his real name, is laughing about it and would want it this way:
Meat Loaf
In a large bowl using your hands, gently combine the meat loaf ingredients.
Divide the meat loaf mixture in half and form into two loaves,
each about 4 inches wide and 6 to 7 inches long. Place the loaves on a
sheet pan.
Prepare the grill for indirect cooking over medium-low heat (about 350°F).
In a small bowl mix the sauce ingredients. Set aside half of the
sauce to serve with the meat loaf. Top each meat loaf with 3 tablespoons
of the remaining sauce and coat thoroughly.
Using a metal spatula, gently pick up each loaf from the sheet
pan and place directly on the cooking grate. Grill the meat loaves over indirect medium-low heat,
with the lid closed, until a thermometer inserted into the center of
each loaf registers 155°F, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the loaves from
the grill and let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Once removed from the grill,
the loaves will continue to cook, allowing them to reach the recommended
160°F for ground beef and pork. Cut the loaves into slices and serve
with the reserved sauce....
Also, don't forget to create something today for it is January 22, the Festival of the Muses.
That's right, on January 22nd in ancient times, was the Festival of the Muses.
Each year on this date, the invisible spirits that inspire and watch
over all poets, musicians, and artists are honored and invoked with
Goddess-inspired poetry, Pagan folk songs, and dancing. And, to enlist the support of your muse, here are the nine daughters of Zeus to call upon: 1. Callipoe, epic poetry and eloguence 2. Clio, history 3. Erato, love poetry 4. Euterpe, lyric poetry and music 5. Polyhymnia, sacred poetry 6. Thalia, pastoral poetry and comedy 7. Melpomene, tragedy 8. Terpsichore, dancing 9. Urania, astronomy
In each life a little rain must fall, and I have seen my share. Is rain bad? No, not if you are a Buddhist like me for pain makes us stronger. Haven't said this, as a Nichiren Buddhist I also know happiness in this lifetime is not only a possibility but also, a guaranty by chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. For my Pagan brother and sisters, don't be alarmed for you can bring your pagan gods to our alter and you may choose to keep them, or not. It is a personal thing and will be revealed to you while chanting. This brings me to today's post that is a result from this mornings prayers and chants and the truth that was revealed to me. The truth is there was something holding me back from the financial rewards I am seeking. It is the magic wand I made out of the branch of a willow tree that hung outside a previous condo I owned. I loved that willow tree and knew it held a magic. I had charged my wand using the spells I wrote about years ago in a post title "Spell Casting 101." In this post I show you how to "charge" an object and this is what I did to my magic wand. Has it worked? I don't know, I really never tried it. But in today's chanting for happiness and financial freedom it was shown to be a force competing with my Buddhist practice in changing my Financial Karma. So today I will free it by tossing it in a field. Stay tuned.
Oh, and more about my Nichirin Buddhist practice can be found at SGI-USA.org.
I'm chanting for you.
In other thoughts on this January 3rd that fit today's magical thoughts. It was way back in 1977 on this day that Ronald Wayne thought it was a wise decision to leave Apple Computers before they incorporated because he thought it "too risky" to hang around. And so his partner at the time, Steve Jobs paid Wayne $800.00 and terminated the relationship. Wayne eventually lived in a trailer in Nevada collecting Social Security.
In 2013, Wayne told the
U.K's Daily Mail, "If I had stayed with Apple and accepted the
limitations on my philosophy of life I could have well ended up the
richest man in the cemetery."
To which, I say, maybe so, but if you had chanted on the decision, you would have been a happy man either way.

Jack Ruby et al
Jack Ruby, the Dallas nightclub owner who killed Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin of U.S. president John F. Kennedy, died of cancer in a Dallas hospital on this day after haven spent four years in a jail cell overlooking Dealey Plaza
adjacent to the infamous Book Depository where the alleged gun-shots
came from. Every day of his remaining life, Ruby could look out that
window with the reminder to keep his mouth shut. Which he did. I only
wonder what happened to his dogs? I use to work at a music store in
Dallas Texas and met an old piano turner who use to tune Jack Ruby's
pianos and so would be in the empty restaurant on quiet afternoons when
Ruby would come in and start slapping the cocktail waitresses around --
he was a real son-of-a-bitch that way. My piano-turning friend told
me: "He had these two dogs with him all the time. I think he tweeted (had sex with) those dogs." ____________________________________________________________________________________
Both kinds of explorers: Lewis and Clark.
Speaking of Dogs: I leave you on this blessed day with a journal entry from the
beloved explorer who first wrote about these here United States back on
their famous Explorer Expedition (warning, it will be disturbing to dog
lovers):
January 3rd, 1806 One party, from necessity having been obliged to subsist some length
of time on dogs, have now become extremely fond of their flesh. It is
worthy of remark that while we lived principally on the flesh of this
animal, we were much more healthy, strong, and more fleshy than we had
been since we left the buffalo country. for my own part, I have become
so perfectly reconciled to the dog that I think it an agreeable food and
would prefer it vastly to lean venison or elk. -- Meriwether Lewis
