Death

I don’t mean to sound like a parrot repeating the doom and gloom from last post. But something is off. I mean don’t get me wrong, there is a lot of good. But there’s also something else. Something that feels wrong.

And then the other day, on the second of January I learned I wasn’t being paranoid.

When people think of Homestead, Florida they usually think of the above picture. It’s a beautiful place with farms. And businesses. And sadly most of it is only for the wealthy. Us poor bastards have to slum it up in the cities.

It is a wonderful place to visit however. Way too many churches for my taste though. It’s like there’s a Baptist church on almost every block. But the other day, my mother was there. With her boss driving the car.

And they saw a sight that bothered them.

This isn’t a picture she took. It didn’t occur to her to actually take a picture or a video. She should have. Then I could have shared it on here. But there was an endless legion of vultures in the sky.

And small black birds too. And they were all flying away from the west I think to the east. I’ll have to double check with her to find out. Just a huge migration of them. She said the doctor and the people in the cars were afraid.

It looked like a scene from one of those disaster movies. We’ve always had vultures and other animals in Florida. And I have even seen a whole flock of them tear apart dead cats on the road here. And they can be scary looking. But this time it wasn’t just them.

Smaller birds were flying with them too. She said they looked terrified. Something in the opposite direction scared them. They even turned on the radio to see if it was being mentioned anywhere. It wasn’t.

I tried looking it up. But no matter what I typed or where I went to, no one online was talking about it. It seems only those people in the cars in Homestead happened upon the sight. That bothers me a lot. We live in a tech savvy world.

It should be posted somewhere online.

I was expecting to hear a scientific explanation that would sound plausible. Or something to that extent. Not nothing. Then I remembered something. I was doing my new year’s divination.

I had burnt a sacred Candle to Hestia. And something weird came out.

I decided to take a closer look.

Now this could just be a common case of matrixing. The phenomenon of creating patterns psychologically from random things. But this was a magical divination. With the exception of Florida, it almost looks like the US.

And then I noticed something out of the corner of my eye.

I remember thinking it sort of looked like a bird just staring at the wax piece. Some kind of carrion bird. Maybe I am making too much of this. In fact I am sort of embarrassed to even bring this up. Maybe I am just seeing something from a place of fear.

Seeing something that isn’t there.

Regardless, I will be doing another divination on it soon. Just to see what I come up with. Cheers,
