LOYAL LADS OF THE B.O.N.D
I welcome you all in the manner to which we have been accustomed to our most portentous
viginti quintus thread. The festival of Samhain approaches and we prepare for this celebration that has become sacred to our Rites.
This thread's governing arcana is that of The Empress (III) card.
The Empress sits on a throne wearing a starry crown, holding a scepter in one hand. The scepter is representative of her power over life, her crown has twelve stars representing her dominance over the year, and her throne is in the midst of a field of grain, representative of her dominion over growing things.
The Empress is traditionally associated with maternal influence and is a portentous card if you are hoping to start (or have started) a family (yanklad this is pertinent to you)
The card can represent the creation of life, romance, art, or new business. Upright the card signifies pregnancy, nuturing, abundance, maternal care, new opportunities and stability.
Reversed the card is associated with forms of stagnation (of mind and of body) and infertility.
This threads governing heavenly body is that of Venus (who is also connected to the Empress card) Venus represents two main areas of life: love and money. Venus also rules over sentiments, the things we value, and the pleasure we take in life.
On the lodge front, the loyal B.O.N.D brothers continue to go about their work, each following their own path. Our threads as of late have seemed to attract a few shills, trolls and cretins of all stripes but we remain undeterred. Our resolve is tempered in steel & we shall endure, not falter, for the Druidic spirit lies within us and this resonating Current is NOT going to dissipate.
Stand firm lads for all manner of divination points to ultimate victory. Out of blood and fire we shall emerge stronger than ever and the glorious New Order we seek shall be realised.
ALL HAIL THE NEW ORDER
