We have very high winds here tonight (W 98 gusts 140 km/h) and it is waning crescent moon, so the situation is the same as the night of January 6, 1994, the second night of my mildest and best waning crescent high. However tonight there are no signs of a high for me yet, but perhaps a slight nervousness/anxiety, maybe an anticipation like Christmas Eve as a child. Also as far as I can remember I did not have a waxing gibbous moon trial precursor 5.5 lunar months ago, whereas I had in January 1994. Isaac Asimov, in his Guide to the Bible, Volume 1, says that the cherubim are personifications of the storm and the seraphim are personifications of the lightning. Three other of my waning crescent highs (Sept91, Jun93, and Aug/Sept94) had clear sky lightning at or near the onset of the highs, while the above-mentioned Jan94 had highly variable weather. The clear sky lightning I think was due to solar activity a few days before affecting the ionosphere. Also the night of January 6, 1994 I walked to The Ship Inn and then from there up Signal Hill, but I am not going to venture out tonight. Asimov also says that the serpent can represent the lightning, and I relate the Naga water serpent associated with the Buddha to blue clear sky lightning over water at the onset of my late August/early September94 waning crescent high. -- https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html Salmon on the Thorns (mystic page) “And now the angry morning; Gives the early signs of warning; You must face alone the plans you make; Decisions they will try to break” (S.McL.)
