Feb. 16: Workers, Whores, The Virtuous, and Andrew Yang's Universal Basic Income!

If you are a regular reader of my blog then you know I consider it a very esoteric tragedy that we have so many working poor in the world with over-stuffed corporate families getting more and more popular in the movies.  Just watch any TV show or Hollywood movie and you'd think everyone has a good job, lives in a nice home, and seldom works.  It's in all the story lines, why?  Because money is king and controls everything.  In old times, these 1% were the bad guys in the movies and so hid in private yacht clubs out of sight of you and me; now, however, they flaunt it. So what is our only course of action now? We flaunt back!  That's right, it is time we demand they cut the shit and send us all a monthly check of at least $1000.00 bucks.  This will make the economy richer because you and I will spend our money in the real economy, not their Private Yacht Club economy.  I think it is a great ideal, oh wait, it isn't new.  Andrew Yang ran for president with the idea of a Universal Basic Income in 2000.  Why don't we all just vote for the guy next time and see how it works!  The test will only be for four years before the wealthy find a way to create another financial disaster and take back control; but for four years you and I can sip coffee at the coffee bar reciting shitty poetry together like we were meant too, or you with children can spend the day in the park with your kids telling them how great it is to be a part of the 99% Human Race, not the 1% You Work For Me clan.   

I think it is possible.  Case in point: In South Korea today -- the mother of Every-One-Is-Rich-Handsome-and-Happy Romantic TV -- workers are standing up at a Samsung Electronics company and threatening to take back power and Strike!   Be still my beating heart!   It's the only tool we have in-between presidential elections to vote for a Universal Basic Income like Yang offered.

On this day, noted in his book "Children of the Days," Eduardo Galeano tells us this story:

     The peons (day workers) on the farms of Argentina's Patagonia went out on strike against stunted wages and overgrown workdays, and the army took charge of restoring order.
     Executions are grueling.  On this night in 1922, soldiers exhausted from so much killing went to the bordello at the port of San Julián for their well-deserved reward.
     But the five women who worked there closed the door in their faces and chased them away, screaming, "You murderers! Murderers, get out of here!"
     Osvaldo Bayer recorded their names.  They were Consuelo Garcia, Ángela Fortunato, Amalia Rodriquez, María Juliache and Maud Foster.
     The whores.  The virtuous.

Eosteric Look at the Origins of St. Valentine's Day.

<

Okay, so it is another Valentine's Day and the normal question that comes up around this time of year for me is here again; this question being: what the hell?  Why do we need a special day to tell someone something we should be telling them every single day of the year?  Well, other than the obvious commercial reasons of making a whole lot of money for investors in the chocolate, flower, and the mushy-romantic cards industries, it's a Roman fertility feast called Lupercalia which ran from February 13th to the 15th of each year back in Pagan days.  

So put on your tin hats and historian goggles boys and girls for we are going to have an Esoteric look at the Origins of St. Valentine's Day.

First, like all of the other popular celebrations, St Valentine's Day comes to us from our Pagan past, and like most Pagan celebrations was bastardized by the Christian church to make you believe that Christians are the reason for everything.  The Christian Church story goes something like this: a man named Valentine was executed by the Roman Emperor Claudius II after being imprisoned for assisting persecuted Christians and secretly marrying Christian couples in love.  Well, there are no historical records collaborating this one anymore than the other Christian myths.  Further more, even the modern Christian church warns that St. Valentine's Day has its roots in our Pagan and should not be celebrated.  

Yet, we do. 

According to History.com, today's Valentine's Day tradition is with us today because in the late 5th century A.D., Pope Gelasius I eliminated the pagan celebration of Lupercalia and declared February 14 a day to celebrate the martyrdom of Saint Valentine.  Yes, just as they had done with the Winter's Solstice celebration by claiming it as the day Baby Jesus was born, Pope Gelasius I decided to do the same with the Feast of Lupercalia and use it as a church building event.  Which, as we will see shortly, was a good thing if you are a goat.

The Pagan roots of Valentine's Day are from the Feast of Lupercalia celebration where Roman men sacrificed goats and used the goat's skin to whip women in the belief that this would make them fertile.  And why would they do this? Well, according to Roman legend, the ancient King Amulius ordered Romulus and Remus—his twin nephews and founders of Rome—to be thrown into the Tiber River to drown in retribution for their mother having broken her vow of celibacy.  That's right, the King came home one night drunk and bedded her and then punished her for given up her celibacy.   Some things never change.  

Continuing with the pagan version of St. Valentine's Day, a servant took pity on the brothers and placed them inside a basket on the river where the river-god carried the basket to a wild fig tree where it became caught in the branches. The brothers were then rescued and cared for by a she-wolf -- the animal, not the singer Shakira.

The twins were later adopted by a shepherd and his wife and learned their father’s trade.  After killing the uncle who’d ordered their death, they found the cave den of the she-wolf who’d nurtured them and named it Lupercal.

It’s thought Lupercalia took place to honor the she-wolf and please the Roman fertility god Lupercus.

Lupercalia rituals took place in a few places: Lupercal cave, on Palatine Hill and within the Roman open-air, public meeting places. The festival began at Lupercal cave with the sacrifice of one or more male goats—a representation of sexuality—and a dog.

The sacrifices were performed by Luperci, a group of Roman priests. Afterwards, the foreheads of two naked Luperci were smeared with the animals’ blood using the bloody, sacrificial knife. The blood was then removed with a piece of milk-soaked wool as the Luperci laughed.

In Ancient Rome, feasting began after the ritual sacrifice where they ran ran naked whipping any woman within striking distance with the thongs of goat meat. 

During Lupercalia, the men randomly chose a woman’s name from a jar to be coupled with them for the duration of the festival. Often, the couple stayed together until the following year’s festival. Many fell in love and married.

Over time, nakedness during Lupercalia lost popularity. The festival became more chaste, if still undignified, and women were whipped on their hands by fully-clothed men.

So, there you have the origins of St. Valentine's Day.  And needles to say I won't be giving out flowers, or sacrificing a goat, but I will be eating chocolate to please the Pagan gods.   

February 12th, Lady Jane is murdered. Let The Universe Provide.

 

Lady Jane Grey, the Queen of England for just thirteen days, is beheaded on Tower Hill on this day (February 12), 1554.  She was barely 17 years old and of the Jesus Christ (Tutor) royal blood -- so some say.  The Duke of Northumberland, had taken the precaution of marrying one of his sons, Lord Guildford Dudley, to Jane, ensuring his place as the power behind the throne.  Dudley, however, had not reckoned on the steely determination of Mary to claim her inheritance as Queen, nor on the power of the common people who backed her. 

 

Yes, another example of why you shouldn't force things, and should let them proceed naturally.  The Duke of Northumberland tried to obtain power by having his son marry into a kingship.   What actually happened was his son was beheaded on this day and the Duke of Northumberland was now an enemy of Queen Marry.  Ouch.  Should have accepted things as they were.  

 

This brings me to today's post, "When You Attempt to Force an Outcome, the Universe Will Resist you."  It is the natural law.  If you pause and look at it you'll see it is true.  What we resist persist, and what we force, will remorse.  

 

Which brings me to the ending of today's post, for you see, I am forcing this outcome to be interesting and intelligent.  It won't happen.  On to another day when something comes more naturally.  When the universe is ready to provide. 

Oh, since I am talking about February 12th, historically, on this same day in the year 1663, some 109 years after Lady Jane's beheading, the infamous clergyman Cotton Mather would be born in Boston, Massachusetts.  Yes, the daemonic preacher who's writings and sermons would give us the hysteria of the 1692 Salem Witch-hunt which would result in many more Lady Jane type deaths.

Jinping and Putin Talks, War is Coming.

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.  

Be afraid boys and girls.  Very afraid.

Stormy Daniels: Esoteric Porn Star

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?

Year of the Tiger = Not Good for Taiwan or Ukraine.

<

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   😕

Clitoris In The Sky With Diamonds. Metor Watch.

 

 

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.  

Until next time, keep your tin hats on.

Fact: Woman Were Equal To Men Before The Christian Takeover. Fact: Woman and Men Have The Same Number of Ribs. Deal with it!

 

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!

Feb 2- 22 and Ground Hog Day: We’re All Esoteric.

 

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, Punxsutawney Phil 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!

My Chinese New Years Guide For Idiots.

<p> 

 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.

More on the Escaping Monkeys

 

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!

January 28th and proof George Bush Used School Children to Worshipped Satan on 9-11.

 

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."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

January 27th Things To Do

 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.
