Hey Torry in regards your point about Washington and the streets being in a pentangle. Did ya know that they form angles of 23 and 26 degrees which correspond to the great pyramid. The earliest masons are also believed to emerged from the dynastic pharaoh period in Egypt where builders of monuments were deemed highly important.

I saw that as well, Quite interesting it could be the link to the hieroglyphics in the Swan seem to remember the symbols meaning the underworld or something like that

Very true Torry. could relate to the trip taken through the underworld to the heavens. There souls could be getting weighted by the scales of ma'at

Anyone been to the O2 egyptian pharoah exhibition yet?

Would be a long trip from the emerald isle Horsey. How ya been?
Would love it though. checked out about it online

was sposed to go last week but all the tickets had been sold out!
will defo try in the new year though as i love egyptology!

been missing everyone here whilst i was away...

I am gonna go to the tut exhibition in the new year, cant wait!! Have been to Egypt but never got to Cairo itself to see all the treasures in the museum Wanna go back there one day though....

I had a chance to see Cairo a few years back (a month after attack in New york September 11th)
Cairo had very little tourists and I seemed to have the Hotel Maadi to myself even when I visited the Pyrimids I seemed to be the only Westerner Face there a class of children visiting the pyrimids stared at me like I was from Mars.
But the whole experience was thrilling memories
It was a pity the museum was also shut for the season

I was looking back at some of the things that seemed to be odd and one thing that was put in our view, was the ring worn by Charlie, with DS on it. This is the ring which inspired the group Driveshaft.
It is supposed to be a family heirloom from great grandfather Dexter Stratton, which is possibly the connection to (DS) I think this ring has more meaning. (is that so)


Well on closer inspection the ring has a six point star in the background and could have a magical /Occult connection or Masonic background and the DS could infact stand for Dog Star (Sirius) which has strong meaning to the Egyptians, Masons and.
Many cultures have historically attached special significance to Sirius. The star was worshipped as Sothis in the valley of the Nile long before Rome was founded. The Middle Kingdom of Egyptians based their calendar on the heliacal rising of Sirius, which occurred just before the annual flooding of the Nile and the summer solstice. The hieroglyph for Sothis features a star and a triangle. Interestingly, Sothis was identified with the great goddess Isis who formed a part of a trinity with her husband Osiris and their son Horus. In Greek mythology.
The ring to me looks like it could be a ritual ring might be of some use at this Temple we haven't seen yet?
It might be that Arron is the second coming and the ring was his destiny who knows

On going with the Masonic/Iluminati/Magnets
The Black Rock was owned and run by the British trading group the New World Sea Traders and was one of the three slaving ships the company ran. The slave trade had been outlawed in 1807, indicating the New World Sea Traders operated in the black market.
The Masons were influential in the end of Slavery and if you check out William Blake
It is a well-established fact that William and his wife Catherine in April 1789 attended the first General Conference of the Swedenborgian New Jerusalem Church in Great Eastcheap, London, and that they both put their signatures to a document of forty-two propositions in support of its doctrines.
But, if many of the mystical-magnetic healers in question claimed to derive their theories of morality, society, state and cosmos from the teachings of the Swedish visionary Emanuel Swedenborg, this was based on certain radical readings of the prophet that were treated as heresies by the more conservative clerics who came to dominate the Swedenborgian New Jerusalem Church in London. The conflict is important for a consideration of Blake. One of the great unexplained mysteries in Blake research has been why he suddenly withdrew his support for the Swedenborgian Church to launch a virulent attack on the prophet in the satire The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.
Oh so close
Were the masons involved with saving these Slaves and forcing the boat aground using some divine power.
The dates are in keeping with the story of the Black Rock.
The only other mystery is how the hell did the Black rock get so far inland, is it to do with what has said here before with the Philadelphia experiment.
Is there a river Styx encircling around the island, where no one is allowed to escape.
Who knows
As lost slowly draws closer to the start of season 4. (Which might be even delayed due to a writers strike) hopefully not. (I canny take it anymore captain) I will plod along with my insane thought to what is going on in Lost .
I guess if I think of all the possibilities one of my ideas will surely be right.
Why are people speculating so much as to what is going on in this show.
I like a lot of other shows and never felt the need to try and find out what is going on in them.
I am quite bad when watching films now as I try and work out the ending (usually wrong
One of the awful endings in lost is that it is all in Hurley’s head which is possible because he seems to have a link to the numbers more than any other lostie
The numbers are quite interesting the Valenzetti equation the numbers that depict the end of days.
My recent research on the numbers took a direction on the Masonic eye which could be the connection that has been shown at the start of every season beginning as from the eye of Jack to Juliette and has been seen on the mural in the Swan hatch.
Here is some connections to the numbers connected by the view that the illuminate is at work on the island and not Hurley’s head.
Anyhoo here is those damn numbers
Number 4 is the tetrad or Quaternary of the Pythagoreans! and it is a sacred number in the advanced Degrees. The Pythagoreans called it a perfect number, and hence it has been adopted as a sacred number in the Degree of Perfect Master. In many nations of antiquity the name of God consists of four letters, as the Adad, of the Syrians, the Amum of the Egyptians, the efos of the Greeks, the Deus of the Romans, and pre-eminently the Tetragrammaton or four-lettered name of the Jews. But in Symbolic Freemasonry this number has no special significance.
Number 8-Among the Pythagoreans the number eight was esteemed as the first cube, being formed by the continued multiplication of 2 by 2 by 2, and signified friendship, prudence, counsel, and justice; and, as the cube or reduplication of the first even number, it was made to refer to the primitive law of nature, which supposes all men to be equal.
Christian numerical symbologists have called it the symbol of the resurrection, because Jesus rose on the 8th day, that is, the day after the 7th, and because the name of Jesus in Greek numerals, corresponding to its Greek letters, is 10, 8, 200, 70, 400, 200, which, being added up, is 888. Hence, too, they call it the Dominical Number. As eight persons were saved in the ark, those who, like Faber, have adopted the theory that the Arkite Rites pervaded all the religions of antiquity, find an important symbolism in this number, and as Noah was the type of the resumetion, they again find in it a reference to that doctrine. It can, however, be scarcely reckoned among the numerical symbols of Freemasonry.
Number 15 A sacred number symbolic of the name of God, because the letters of the holy name YOD HE, Jah, are equal, in the Hebrew mode of numeration by the letters of the alphabet, to fifteen; YOD is equal to ten, and HE is equal to five. Hence, from veneration for this sacred name, the Hebrews do not, in ordinary computations, when they wish to express the number fifteen, make use of these two letters, but of two others, which are equivalent to nine and six.
Number 16 is significant to the occultist; it is 4x4 (Remember that the four upper points of the Goathead Pentagram represent the Four Elements of which the earth is constructed). Number 16 literally means "felicity", means blissful happiness or anything which will produce such a state. Certainly, blissful happiness is the stated goal of any satanic system. A corollary meaning of 16 is love.
Number 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Number 42 the meaning of life according to Douglas Adams'
Source: Mackey's Encyclopaedia of Freemasonry and other weird sites.
Quite interesting that the free masonry/illuminati has been very influential in the United States.
And in Masonic practise though out the years have strong connections to numbers.
And some of the streets in Washington are laid out to form a pentangle the sign of the devil and a belief in an new world order.
It could be that the good and evil black and white references in lost could be taking on this fight. It could be that the island depicted in lost is the inner workings of Hurley’s head and we are seeing his fight for control of his sanity, through the imaginary fight of the losties and others.
AUDI, VIDI, TACE

it's that time of year again.


how the angel got on top of the tree

Not long ago and not far away Santa was getting ready for his annual trip...but there were problems every where... four of the elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule....then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mum was coming to visit...

This stressed Santa even more...when he went to harness the reindeer he found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out heaven knows where...more stress.

And then, when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards on the sleigh cracked and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered all the toys...so, frustrated Santa went into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey...but he found that the elves had hit the liquor cupboard and there was nothing there to drink...and in his frustration he dropped the coffee pot and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor... he went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw it was made from.

Just then the doorbell rang and Santa cussed on his way to the door ..he opened the door and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas tree . And the angel said: Santa, where would you like to put this Christmas tree??

And that, my friend, is how the little angel came to be on top of the Christmas tree

I love your little stories torry

Alright this is the only Christmas cracker joke to date that has made me laugh out loud.
here goes.

Hickory dickory dock the two mice ran up the clock the clock struck one and the other got away with minor injuries.

It was Christmas Eve. Harry and Shirley had returned from an enjoyable midnight mass at their local church. They arrived home and spent a short while relaxing by an open fire before retiring to bed.

Some time in the middle of the night they were awoken by heavy knocking on their front door. Harry was very unhappy about this. He went down stairs and noisily unlocked the door to be confronted by disheveled man who was obviously the worse for drink.

'Th'cuse me thur. Will you helpth me with a puth."

"Help you with a push!" said Harry. "You drunken idiot! Get away from my house before I call the police! Irresponsible people like you should be banned from driving!" And slammed the door into the man's face.

He went back to bed and was astonished to find himself being reprimanded by his wife.

"How could you be so mean and uncharitable." she said. "Surely this evening's sermon must still be ringing in your ears. How the innkeeper turned Joseph and Mary away on Christmas Eve. Here you are presented with the same situation and you show yourself to be no better than that uncaring man. Shame on you."

Harry was shocked by the relevance of what he had done and was full of remorse. He ran down the stairs and opened the front door, but the man was no longer there. So, he ran down the path to his front gate to see if the man or his car was along the road; but there was no traffic or people at all.

On the off-chance that the man might still be around somewhere he shouted loudly. "Hey mister, needing a push, where are you?

The unmistakable drunken voice replied immediately. "Over here thur, on the swing."

here is another cracker
Did you know that Santa's not allowed to go down chimneys this year? It was declared unsafe by the Elf and Safety Commission.
