Bad Omens

Ah yes, the omen post. I chose bad omens because those are the ones I'd rather notice. I don't too much care if good things happen to me, but I'd like time to prepare for the bad. Some of these I'm sure you've heard of and were told as a child but others are a bit stranger and far less familiar to western society. Just the same, they are ages old and have to hold some level of validity in order to survive for so long. I feel the same way about superstitions involving ancient creatures (no, bigfoot is not ancient) but I'll cover those another time, and likely individually as they deserve that amount of respect. Without further adieu, here they are:

Those Damn Felines

• As I'm sure you know, It is very bad luck for a black cat to cross your path. Another version of this omen is that a black cat walking toward you brings with it bad luck, and when it walks away it takes what good luck you had with it. That bastard. At any rate, in England there is a contradicting legend that black cats are good luck and it is the white cats that cause the most trouble.


• When a stray black cat takes up residence at your home there will be a lot of strange happenings during its visit. Not necessarily bad, but most definitely strange. Things you couldn't miss if you will Stevie Wonder will go missing, one person will move out and soon after another will move in, and other events of this nature are pretty much guaranteed.


• If a cat of any color jumps over a coffin of the deceased it is a very bad omen for the soul of the departed. He's basically going to hell.

Other Wildlife

• If a crow loiters along side you at the corner store (or anywhere else) your ass is as good as dead.


• If you have a dream that a crow plucks your eye out you're going to die - and soon. I've seen this one in action with a late relative, and she knew about this, so her last days weren't great ones.


• If you walk outside and there's a dead bird on your porch or patio something very bad is going to happen to a resident of the household. But don't worry, you'll live to deal with it. Well...maybe.


• This is news to me, but apparently weasels that take residence near your home are bad luck. In fact, weasels in general are fairly jinxed.

Miscellaneous Omens

• If an albatross circles a ship it's a sign that a storm is near. It's also bad luck to kill it because it carries with it the soul of a man lost at sea.


• If you say goodbye to a friend on a bridge you'll likely never see them again.


• If the flame of a candle flickers it's a sign that a spirit is in the room.


• A woman buried in black will haunt the family.


• If a dead person's eyes are left open he will find somebody to take with him, so do yourself a favor and close those motherfuckers.


• Mirrors left in a room with a corpse should be covered, otherwise the first person to see their reflection will die next.


• It was once widely believed that a person with the hiccups was possessed by the devil. Medical science still cannot explain this strange bodily occurrence, so who knows?


• If a mirror in a home falls and breaks by itself a resident of the home will die very soon.


• If three people are photographed together, the one in the middle will be the first to die.


• A salt trail in a doorway will block all evil spirits, both living and dead, from entering the home. My grandmother used to do this when she felt someone had a problem with her.

Well there you have it. You are now equipped with knowledge you can do absolutely nothing with, because let's face it - when it comes to bad luck, there's nothing you can do but brace yourself. But look on the bright side, the same people who believe these things also believe if you turn in a circle three times counter-clockwise you can reverse your luck. Just make sure it's bad.

Update on Strigoi

In this post I am more or less just touching base with you to let you know I haven't vanished. In recent days an unreal unfolding of events has driven me to take a short pause for field work on Indigo Children and much more so the Annunaki and their business with the year 2012. It seems there has been a shift in the underlying forces that drive the physical plane, I'd almost say there is a tear between the parallel planes is causing the fluid or "energy" plane to bleed over into the physical plane. And it seems everyone who is strongly connected is being effected by this. If you have been , come forward. Comment to this post with your email address and I will send you questions to better understand what's going on, then explain everything to you to the best of my ability.

In the meantime, be looking for other posts of various nature. The future has not prompted me to neglect the past.
