I read lots of posts and news about the Asada Mao and Kim Yuna’s rivalry. Some news supports and are at the side of Asada Mao, particularly on Jpop. And most of the Kpop news contain Kim Yuna’s gold medal in the Vancouver, Canada Olympic Games. This thing became interesting for me, since I’m fund of watching skate-offs (though I don’t know them that much).
So who’s a lot better? Asada Mao or Kim Yuna?
It’s hard to decide since they have the same young faces, same great abilities. They’re both popular for being cute and graceful when it comes to figure skating. They’re both teen agers, and what a coincidence, they’re both 19! Can you imagine that? How can such rivalry be this tough?
But this tough comparison between the two have ended within a single game. The all-girl skate-off between Korea and Japan. Korea’s Kim Yuna won against Mao. Here’s the tally sheet, here included also, the bronze medalist from Canada:
Kim Yuna got 4.72 points ahead of Asada Mao, with this absolutely stunning finish:
But whichever your choices are, they’ll still be on equal parts in my heart. And to add up to their tie-ups, well I think, they both got in demand when it comes to advertisements.
These cupcakes were finished just in time to see the Canadian women’s hockey team take home the GOLD! GO CANADA!
The recipe for these yummy red velvet cupcakes came from the More from Magnolia Bakery cookbook. The original recipe was for a layer cake and it made A TON of cupcakes (3.5 dozen!) The cupcakes are topped with a cream cheese frosting and a red maple leaf. I adore them.
Red Velvet Cupcakes
3 1/3 cups cake flour (I used all purpose flour and just sifted it a few times)
3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temp.
2 1/4 cups sugar
3 large eggs at room temp.
6 tbsp red food colouring (I used red paste food colouring measured into 6 tbsp of water)
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line muffin tins with paper liners.
Cream the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy (or about 5 minutes) Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl often.
In another bowl, combine the food colouring, cocoa and vanilla. Add it to the batter and mix well/
Stir the salt into the buttermilk and add it to the batter alternating with the flour. Beat after each addition until all of the ingredients are incorporated and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix the apple cider vinegar with the baking soda and mix it into the batter until combined.
Scoop batter into lined muffin cups about 1/2 full.
Bake for roughly 20 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
Let cool completely before frosting.
frosting
1 1/4 cups unsalted butter
8 oz cream cheese, room temp
2 tsp vanilla extract
6 cups powdered sugar
Beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the vanilla followed by the powdered sugar (1 cup at a time) and beat until light and fluffy.
Pipe onto cupcakes using a large star tip.
To create the maple leaves, I melted red wilton candy melts in a ziplock freezer bag for about 40 seconds in the microwave and snipped the corner of the bag with scissors creating a piping bag. I printed some maple leaves to outline and placed the paper under some parchment so I had a pattern to follow. Pipe the melted chocolate in the desired pattern and let harden.
If a pair of these nice red Canadian Olympic mittens catch your eye you should definitely head over and see Debbie In Nana’s Kitchen because she’s GIVING SOME AWAY!
When the Winter Olympic Ceremonies in Vancouver began it opened with reverence for history, a history which begins with the Aboriginal People of Canada.
History
Aboriginal peoples in Canada comprise the First Nations, Inuit and Métis. The descriptors “Indian” and “Eskimo” are falling into disuse. Old Crow Flats and Bluefish Caves are the earliest archaeological sites of human habitation in Canada. The Paleo-Indian Clovis, Plano cultures and Pre-Dorset pre-date American indigenous and Inuit cultures. Projectile point tools, spears, pottery, bangles, chisels and scrapers mark archaeological sites, thus distinguishing cultural periods, traditions and lithic reduction styles. Hundreds of Aboriginal nations evolved trade, spiritual and social hierarchies. The Métis culture of mixed blood originated in the mid-17th century when First Nation and native Inuit married European settlers. The Inuit had more limited interaction with European settlers during that early period. Various laws, treaties, and legislation have been enacted between European immigrants and First Nations across Canada. Aboriginal Right to Self-Government provides opportunity to manage historical, cultural, political, health care and economic control aspects within first people’s communities.- Wikepedia

For the next few weeks the eyes of the world will be on Canada as Vancouver, British Columbia plays host to the Winter Olympics. So what better time to take a virtual road trip across this gigantic country and make pit stops in each province to check out some bands that you may or may not have listened to before. Every day (or second day) we’ll look at two bands from each of the 10 Canadian provinces. Buckle in, enjoy the ride, and help support the talented Canadian music scene!
Manitoba
Manitoba is a mystery to me. It is smack dab in the middle of Canada. It is really flat. And it is the only province in Canada that I have not stepped foot in. Two of Canada’s most famous bands that garnered attention not only in Canada, but also internationally, hailed from Manitoba. The Guess Who made waves in both the US and Canada with singles such as American Woman and No Sugar Tonight in the late 60s and 70s. The other famous artist being Neil Young, who will be featured later. If you are from Manitoba or know of awesome artists from Manitoba drop me a line in the comment section.
Band #1 – The Weakerthans – Winnipeg, Manitoba
The Weakerthans are a four piece band fronted by John K. Samson who have a loyal fan base. There songs consist of a blend of folk rock, punk rock, and alternative rock. This collection of styles comes together to create an enjoyable sound. They also know how to put on an entertaining live show as they play these honest tales.
Songs to check out: Night Windows, Our Great City
Band #2 – Neil Young – Winnipeg, Manitoba
Neil Young is an iconic Canadian. At the age of 65 he is still cranking out new tunes and touring. A lot of music has come out of this man, ranging from his solo work to his work with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Crazy Horse. His song Keep on Rocking in the Free World has been covered by countless bands is known by almost anyone who knows anything about music. He has gone through multiple phases, country songs, rock songs, concept albums about an electric car, you name it and he has probably done it. His voice is about as distinguishable as the maple leaf on the Canadian flag and he is one of the most important figures to put Canadian music on the map.
Songs to check out: Four Strong Winds, Harvest Moon, Cowgirl in the Sand, Down By the River
Andrew Koenig, actor, producer, and activist, is missing. Last seen in a bakery near Stanley Park in Vancouver on February 14th, he was scheduled to fly home to LA on the 16th, but never checked in for his flight. According to his parents he had been in a depressed state for some time, and they received a letter on the 16th of February that has alarmed them for his safety, because of the state of mind it betrays.
He is 41 years old, has brown hair and dark brown eyes, and is very familiar with Vancouver, having lived here for a number of years. He does not have a car in Vancouver, and is apparently not contacting his friends here, so is probably dependent on public transit. He has friends in the burlesque scene, but apparently hasn’t contacted any of them since the 14th. With hundreds of thousands of people in town for the Olympics, he could easily slip among the crowds, just another tourist.
He hasn’t posted any links to his Facebook profile since January, and the most recent activity on the eBay account he used is a testimonial from a buyer dated January 21. It appears he last signed in to YouTube four weeks ago, to upload a trailer for Run for Your Life, an independent film he was working on.
This is a web pilot I made a few years back with my old improv group. It spoofs spy shows like Alias and 24 with a dash of Sid & Marty Krofft.
His father, Walter Koenig, has reworked his own site and dedicated it to the search for his son. The below is from that site.
If you’ve seen Andrew since February 14th, contact Detective Raymond Payette of the Vancouver PD at 604-717-2534.
PLEASE COPY and RE-POST THE INFORMATION BELOW!!!:
Andrew Koenig, the son of Star Trek actor Walter Koenig, is missing. The last time Andrew
Koenig was seen was on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2010, in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Andrew Koenig never boarded his flight back to the US, and he hasn’t heard from since then.
He was last seen at a bakery in the Stanley Park area of Vancouver.
Andrew Koenig, 41, was working as a camera operator on the show “Never Not Funny” as well
as doing improv in Los Angeles. Best known as “Boner” from “Growing Pains”, Andrew also
had a role in “Deep Space Nine”, and is a talented actor director, editor and photographer as
well as a passionate activist. In 2008, he was arrested at the Rose Bowl while protesting
China’s part in the genocide in the country of Burma.
This is a serious matter that has Koenig’s friends and family gravely concerned. If you have
seen him, emailed him or had any contact after the 14th or spent time with him during his stay
in Vancouver please call Detective Raymond Payette of the Vancouver PD at 604-717-2534.

Yes, the costume mountie hat above is a lot classier than the silly red, white and blue topper the American is wearing.
But what matters is the final score: USA 5, Canada 3.
Magnificent.
As I’ve noted before, I’m a big fan of Martin Brodeur. But he had an off night tonight against the Americans, letting in a first-minute goal and three more. To add to Canada’s frustrating loss, Team USA slipped in an open-net goal after Brodeur had skated off as the Canadians desperately tried to take the game into overtime.
Of this night, Ryan Miller will always be able to note proudly that he outplayed one of hockey’s legendary goalies. And he added his own chapter to the legends of American Olympic hockey.

Despite losing 3-1 to Team USA and being down two goals 35 seconds into the second period, the Swiss team forced Canada to an overtime, then a shootout before Sydney Crosby scored the game winner on his second shot in the shootout.
Canada lost a huge point tonight in having to go to extra time. With tonight’s win, they only have five points in the tournament bracket, while the USA has six points and it’s likely that Russia will move out to six tonight also. Canada will have to beat the USA on Sunday if they plan on being a top four seed going into the medal round.
Slovakia lost 1-3 to the Czech Republic last night and tonight must face the Russian team which is a heavy favorite to walk away with either a gold or silver medal. An update about that game will come later.

Tet celebrated in New Zealand, Canada, Belgium QĐND – Monday, February 15, 2010, 21:18 (GMT+7)
The Vietnamese Embassy in New Zealand and the New Zealand-Vietnam Friendship Society jointly hosted a party on Feb. 14 for expatriates, students and friends to celebrate Vietnam ’s traditional Tet festival.
Addressing the party, Ambassador Vuong Hai Nam informed his guests about new developments in the relationship between Vietnam and New Zealand.
He especially mentioned the two countries’ agreement to lift their ties to “comprehensive partnership” during Party General Secretary Nong Duc Manh’s visit to New Zealand last September.
Chairman of the New Zealand-Vietnam Friendship Society Neil Quigley showed determination and desire to join hands in furthering educational cooperation in particular and friendship in general between the two countries.
Vietnamese students performed songs and dances to entertain the guests to the party.
Earlier on February 13, Vietnamese students in Canada and Belgium gathered for Tet celebrations which encompassed singing and dancing performances, the restaging of Vietnamese traditional customs, and Vietnamese culinary.

There has been so much to celebrate this past weekend, Valentine’s Day, Chinese New Year, and of course, the Olympics. We live about 4 hours away from Vancouver. We were thinking about going and just joining the crowd but instead, we decided to have a quiet weekend and spend it in Summerland, BC. Some of the Olympic teams from all over the world practiced at our ski hills for the Olympics and the comments about the Okanagan were all positive. Some said that the Okanagan was the most beautiful place on earth. Here are some more pics I took this weekend:
Have you seen the photos of the “2001 September 11th attacks” on the World Trade Center towers in New York City that were recently made public?
These photos were taken by New York Police Officers who were on the scene in a police helicopter.
Here are some of the photos they took:

The 2010 Winter Olympics will take place in Vancouver, Canada.
The opening ceremony is scheduled to begin on Friday, 2010 February 12th in the evening…Canada time. So, it’ll be Saturday, 2010 February 13th here in Japan when the ceremony begins.
The official 2010 Olympics logo.
The games will go from 2010 February 12-28 (Canada time).
Do you watch the Olympics?
I watch them…but the games go for over two weeks—I don’t watch everyday of the games. I like to watch some of the opening ceremony and some of the closing ceremony and a few games in between.
This year, Japan is sending 95 athletes to compete in the Olympics, America is sending 216, and Canada (the host country) will have 206 athletes play.
How many athletes from your country will be at the 2010 Olympics?

Sunday, February 14th will be Valentine’s Day.
How is Valentine’s Day celebrated in your country?
In Japan, it’s done the opposite of how America celebrates it. And Japan has another holiday (called “White Day“) in March that is more similar to Western-style Valentine’s.
Click here to read my FAQ about Valentine’s Day in Japan…
and click here to read my post that explains Japanese Valentine’s (and other holidays in February) in more detail.
Also, this year on February 14 will be the Chinese New Years.
I mentioned it on my site’s “Festivals In Tokyo” page….click here> to read it.
Have you ever experienced a Chinese New Years ceremony?
If you’re in the Tokyo area this weekend, you can go to 「横浜中華街」 (“Yokohama China Town“) and see a Chinese New Years ceremony.
Olympics fans heading to Vancouver might want to visit a vanishing cultural treasure while they’re in Canada — local churches.
Canada has become a “post-Christian society” where once-dominant Anglicanism has “moved to the margins of public life,” according to a bleak study reported by Michael Valpy at the Globe and Mail.
A new assessment of the state of the church in Canada looks at the Anglican Diocese of British Columbia and then across the country and concludes that,… at the present rate of decline — a loss of 13,000 members per year — only one Anglican would be left in Canada by 2061.
… Nationally, between 1961 and 2001, the church lost 53 per cent of its membership, declining to 642,000 from 1.36 million. Between 1991 and 2001 alone, it declined by 20 per cent.
The report zeros in on Vancouver and the adjacent Gulf Islands, suggesting closing or preparing to shutter nearly two in three of its Anglican churches now that the Anglican population is… one generation away from extinction … The unchurched are not coming to us.
Only the Roman Catholic Church is holding steady and the report attributes that to immigration.
Religious studies professor David Seljak of St. Jerome’s University in Waterloo, Ont., observes that “Canadians increasingly say they’re generically “Christian” rather than Anglican, Presbyterian or Pentecostal.”
Gee, where have we heard this before?
Surveys in the USA aren’t nearly so grim — yet. But, in the American Religious Identification Survey’s three studies over two decades, there’s clear evidence of a shift from denominational ties to generic Christian ties — or out the church doors altogether. The ARIS co-author Barry Kosmin said,
More than ever before, people are just making up their own stories of who they are. They say, “I’m everything. I’m nothing. I believe in myself.”
A pastor once told me that he wanted his church’s neighbors, even if they never entered the doors, to say, “We’re glad you’re here.”
When happens if — or when — they’re not? Would you miss your neighboring churches, even if you don’t attend?
Faith and the Law Note: Our churches need to remain strong and strengthen their relationship with GOd and reach out to others with the gospel of Jesus Christ. There are going to be alot of disappointed and bitter souls if they try to find the answer to life in themselves.
The Olympics were political in Berlin, in Helsinki, in Mexico City, Moscow and Los Angeles. They were political in Beijing. And they will be political in Vancouver.
How could they be otherwise? For a few days, the entire world’s attention focuses on one city, one governing power, one culture. Why should it surprise us that an event like that will invite the crazies?
Article 51 of the Olympic Charter prohibits “political, religious or racial propaganda” in Olympic venues or other areas, but who are they trying to kid?
Protest has been an important part of the Olympics since at least the 1930s. From boycotting the entire two weeks, to getting arrested for unfurling a “Free Tibet” banner on the Great Wall, to killing Israeli athletes. Bringing politics into such a staged event can be easy with a little creativity.
In Beijing, protesters were given three zones in which they could practice ”freedom of speech.” But the zones were a long way from any of the Olympic events, and to access them for purpose of protest you had to get a permit from the government. Needless to say, such permits are hard to come by in China.
In the meantime, China silenced dissidents by jailing their leaders, including house church pastors and political organizers. They forbid visitors from bringing any printed material, film or other media that could be ”detrimental to China’s politics, economy, culture and ethics.”
Leading up to the Beijing Games, protests occurred all over the world against China’s policies regarding Tibet, Sudan, North Korea, Burma, and the country’s treatment of journalists, ministers and social activists.
In Seoul in 1987, such demonstrations led to the overthrowing of a regime and freedom for an entire people. In Beijing, the results may amount to much less.
Vancouver has found some clever ways for dealing with protest. British Columbia’s Bill 13 allows authorities to enter residences and other private property without the owner’s consent to remove or cover up signs they deem critical of the Olympics, as long as residents get 24 hours notice and enter “reasonably.” That would make for an interesting phone call:
“Excuse me, is this Jenny Smith? Hi, Jenny. This is the police. We just wanted to let you know that in 24 hours we will be breaking into your house to remove your personal property. Don’t worry, we’ll be entering your home and stealing your belongings in a reasonable manner.”
The decision has, quite obviously, been met with much criticism from civil liberties groups.
Vancouver’s Olympic Committee has named their Olympic motto “with glowing hearts,” a name taken from “O Canada,” the country’s national anthem. The lyrics are in the public domain, so unlike the usual Olympic motto, Vancouver’s can’t be trademarked. They have instead trademarked words like “winter” and “gold” in relation to the term “glowing hearts.”
This has allowed them the ability to take small businesses to court that have been around for decades for breaking trademark laws. If your grandpa’s 40-year-old shop is called Glowing Hearts Gold Jewelry, or Glowing Hearts Winter Gear, you might be visiting ole poppy in the slammer.
Other lyrics from “O Canada” include “the true North strong and free!” and “God keep our land glorious and free!”
The idea behind these measures, of course, is that we should be focusing on the sports, and not on politics. But for the men and women whose homes have been entered without their consent, and for the small family businesses facing a huge corporation in court, these measures are at their very heart a political act.
What do you think about Vancouver’s rules?
Can banning protest and propaganda at a global sports event also be a political act?
Further resources:
Bill 13 includes many other measures. The one I refer to in this article is found under the Municipalities Enabling and Validating Act, Part 9, Section 32.
Leni Riefenstahl’s Triumph of the Will is the most famous political propaganda related to the Olympics. Filmed at Hitler’s behest around the Berlin Games of 1936, it is considered a landmark film with a chilling, Nazi-approved message. I found it captivating, and I’m from a Jewish family, so watch it at your own risk.
Lastly, read Wikipedia’s article on one famous Olympics protest that ended in tragedy: the Tlatelolco Massacre in Mexico City. The people there chanted what many others have since, though perhaps in spirit - “We don’t want the Olympics, we want revolution!”

Sono una discoletta e mi piace girovagare, nel pochissimo tempo che mi resta, nel Web , ho spiegato nel link di Athena, si districa la tela e gli incompetenti saranno bugerati dal pubblico, che corrisponde al Medio Coeli, la decima casa, il decimo settore, lo Zenit, il Capricorno, e mi chiedo visto che Athena è la Dea Capricorniana e che Cronos o Saturno è il pianeta dominante del Capri , cosa succederà a chi ne ha preso le sembianze occultandone le prerogative di successo a chi ne è eletto per nascita?
Hades
Ragionamento con chi voglia vincere, perchè Athena non ha mai perso una guerra, anche se in alcune battaglie è risultata sconfitta, la sua intelligenza strategica non ha uguali, stiamo parlando di Hermes intelligenza che l’ha fatta nascere
Hermes o Mercury è il pianeta e Dio governatore della Virgo e dei Gemini esaltato in Scorpio, vi siete chiesti perchè e da cosa nasca questa assonanza?
Hermes entra in gioco nell’esaltazione di Omero che ne fa la descrizione,nel ratto di Persephone, chi voglia si legga il mio link sullo Scorpione.
I protagonisti Hades Persephone Demeter Helios Hecate e Hermes le 4 H , Zeus padre di Persephone figlia di Demeter chiede ad Hermes di fare un accordo con Hades ,in quanto Hermes è l’unico Dio a cui sia permesso di varcare la soglia degli Inferi.
La lettera H che era propria del nostro linguaggio latino è stata omessa come lettera iniziale se non con qualche eccezione del verbo avere, ma se la guardate bene sono due I unite da una retta orizzontale o meglio nella numerazione romana sono II corrispondente al numero due con una frazione dello stesso – che potrebbe significare una sottrazione come simbolo del meno oppure un’unione di due parallele che si incontrano su una linea centrale, se invece la mettiamo in orizzontale accade che linea corta centrale divenga verticale e venga sormontata da sue linee parallele orizzontali , la mia immaginazione vola e dice… Meridiani e paralleli terrestri o cinesi nell’agopuntura
Secondo voi Hermes , che simboleggia l’intelligenza,la destrezza,la velocità, e anche la furbizia, è prerogativa di tutti i 12 segni?
Se così fosse Mercury o Hermes che ci starebbe a fare nei tre segni a lui deputati per tradizione?
Quindi i relatori astrologi che presenziano ai seminari,convegni, etc… propinano all’auditorio la regola per cui l’intelligenza non possa risiedere solo in tre segni ma tutti i segni sono dotati di intelligenza, espressa in altro modo, e che tutti i segni abbiano questa dote ,quindi sono tutti intelligenti e per equazione tutti i segni sono governati da Hermes.
Se questo assunto fosse vero, allora Ares non appartiene più all’Ariete come governatore ma a tutti i segni, quindi nei segni zodiacali non esiste più un pianeta governatore o esaltato ma tutti gli 8 pianeti più i due luminari governano i dodici segni in pari misura.
dedace di marzo
Decade quindi anche la suddivisione dei segni nelle accezioni climatiche e geografiche che formano il carattere
Togliamo Hermes dalla Virgo ,Gemini e Scorpius e mettiamolo pariteticamente in tutto lo Zodiaco, idem per Zeus,Hades etc…
Per associazione se nasco Aries avrò alla mia nascita come pianeti governatori tutti e 8 più i due luminari e quindi i transiti dei pianeti in una data presupporrano l’intrinseca possibilità di configurarsi con la massa decadale implicita in ogni segno senza alcuna distinzione.
Vorrei capire se uno appartenente al Cancer possa vedere esaltato ,come hanno scritto, Hades, per dirla con una frase storica di un politico CHE CI AZZECCA?
Hades il Dio del sottosuolo che non è mai venuto a contatto con la Luna , esce raramente, che cosa abbia da spartire mitologicamente parlando con Selene, Artemis, Hestia, Aphrodite, Hera, Hebe, nulla, proprio nulla
Invece nelle leggende e nei miti Hades viene a contatto con Persephone,Demeter,Semele,Hecate nessuna di queste simboleggia il Cancer.
Altra cretinata, Zeus o Giove sarebbe in esaltazione nello Scorpione, in quanto essendo noto per le scappatelle e per gli eccessi e appetiti sessuali, va bene nello Scorpio.
Ripeto CHE CI AZZECCA?
Zeus ogni volta che ha fatto l’amore con una mortale è stato simbolicamente per ridare linfa vitale all’umanità, dovendo germogliare la verginità di alcune mortali al fine di produrre un cambiamento nella Terra, Europa rapita per costruire proprio il nostro attuale continente e con il mito dell’Era del Toro cretese, quindi come diceva la Morpugo Giove è nel Toro si camuffa da Toro come si può mettere nello Scorpione che nasce dal mito di Orione?
le figlie di Zeus le Muse donavano grazie all 'umanità
Tutti i miti astronomici greci ci hanno trasmesso la galassia ma sembra che qualcuno ne voglia sovvertire l’ordine perchè una mattina si sveglia al canto del gallo, simbolo del Sole, Helios, Apollo, e decide che Giove va a braccetto con Plutone.
Nei movimenti astronomici Pluto ha lo stesso movimento di Hermes andate a verificare.
Quindi se mettiamo Giove insieme a Pluto nello Scorpione dobbiamo togliere Ares o Hermes, se togliamo Ares tutte le tradizioni giunte non devono essere più citate, perchè prima che si avvistasse Plutone nel 1930 il pianeta che governava lo Scorpione era Ares.
Tanto per capirci Hermes è e resta della Virgo e dei Gemini mi dispiace, questi segni sono insieme allo Scorpio, i segni più intelligenti dello Zodiaco non hanno altre caratteristiche ,come la forza dittatoriale dell’Ariete la sensualità taurina etc… ma le doti di intelligenza sono proprie di questi segni, poi i Toro a volte come capita hanno Hermes in Gemini e quindi divengono più intelligenti come capita anche ai Cancer, ai Leoni per Hermes in Virgo, alla Bilancia per Hermes in Virgo e o nello Scorpione, ai Sagittario per Hermes nello Scorpione.
Hermes è quasi sempre presente nella vita di Zeus, nel rapimento di Europa, nella nascita di Athena, nell’accordo con Hades per Persephone.
Lo stesso Giove così ci insegnano i greci ha necessità della destrezza intellettiva di Hermes, e lo stesso Hermes o il figlio Pan, che aiuta Zeus a vincere la guerra contro Tifone e i Titani.
Re Salomone famoso per la saggezza elabora il sigillo sui movimenti di Mercurio intorno al Sole ,la stella di Davide.
La stella di Hermes Mercury
I pianeti Zeus o Giove ed Hermes o Mercury sono rispettivamente Zeus governatore del Sagittario e Pesci nonchè Cancer in esaltazione, e secondo pianeta nel Toro.
Hermes domicilio in Gemini e Virgo esaltazione in Scorpione, perchè mi sono chiesta la duplicità gemellina di Mercurio?
Semplicemente, a mio modesto avviso, oltre alla neutralità intellettiva che non conosce sesso e quindi unisce la parte maschile e femmile, i Gemelli simboleggiano le facce di Mercury orientate nell’espressione della Virgo che le condivide poi con lo Scorpio.
Il caduceo tenuto dalla Virgo, significa appunto bastone, la costellazione della Libra,attigua alla Virgo, l’ho già detto, oltre 2000 anni fa non era visibile, e la Virgo e lo Scorpio erano tutt’uno, la Virgo è una delle costellazioni più antiche ,tutti parlano del tredicesimo segno Ofiuco, simbolo del serpente, secondo voi quei serpenti tenuti intrecciati sul bastone di Mercury che cosa sono?
Sono la Vergine e lo Scorpione che quando si separano dall’unità spirituale e materiale , danno vita alla costellazione dei Gemelli
L’asse del mondo era tenuto insieme dalle Costellazioni dello Scorpione e della Virgo poi hanno deciso che la Bilancia tenuta in mano dalla Vergine alata divenisse una costellazione autonoma , il mito dello Scorpio prende le mosse da Orione che è una costellazione appartenente ai Gemelli,e il c.d. segno zodiacale di Ofiuco si chiama serpentario e si troverebbe secondo la precessione degli equinozi ubicato tra lo Scorpio e il Sagittario mentre nell’Astrologia tradizione nella seconda e terza decade dello Scorpione
Serpentario rappresenta il mito Asclepio o Esculapio figlio di Apollo allevato dal centauro Chirone e istruito all’arte medica ,aveva il potere di far resuscitare gli ammalati e si narra che avesse appreso questa tecnica da un serpente che si curava con le piante.
Siccome Esculapio resuscitava i morti Plutone ne pretese la morte e Zeus lo annientò con una saetta ,ma volle dietro richiesta esplicita di Apollo, immortalarlo in cielo insieme al serpente, ora io mi domando perchè l’Associazione medica non ne abolisca lo stemma che la contraddistingue da secoli?
Ormai la farmaceutica e la medicina ufficiale si fondano quasi esclusivamente sulla chimica mentre Esculapio curava attraverso le erbe, il simbolo non viene abolito perchè è l’archetipo di vita oltre la morte
Il Caduceo Verginello sottende a questo perciò Mercurio Hermes lo preferì alla lira e ne chiese il baratto ad Apollo che ne era il possessore.
Il potere in terra è la salute ed Hermes è colui che la custodisce attraverso la Virgo e lo Scorpione li unisce nei due serpenti che si rigenerano l’uno con l’altro attraverso la natura e le sue funzioni vitali e questa natura salutistica si manifesta apertamente nei Gemelli segno del mito della giovinezza e dell’esaltazione di Hades che gli permette di vivere grazie alla triade mercuriale , e la salute risiede nel cevello come cellule rigeneranti, nell’intestino e negli organi di purificazione reni fegato e scroto e soprattutto nelle ossa
E tutti questi organi erano sotto l’egida primordiale dei segni mercuriali.
Quindi chi ha Hermes in questi tre segni ha un’intelligenza particolare dovuta anche alla primordialità dell’uomo nelle sue metamorfosi da animale strisciante ad animale eretto, da invertebrato a vertebrato e i Gemelli sono associati nella rigenerazione proprio allo Scorpione e al Capricorno che è l’ottavo settore quello della rinascita del segno Gemellino.
Allora Athena la nostra Dea saggia fatta nascere da Hermes è quel lato strategico spirituale e materiale che rigenera l’umanità attraverso una guerra emblematica all’ignoranza e alla menzogna che nulla portano al progresso e all’evoluzione della specie.
Hermes Gemelli la doppiezza corpo e mente, materia e spirito, nella Virgo unione della natura produttrice di sostanze benefiche per la guarigione e datrice di cure e medicine sia per il corpo che per lo spirito, nello Scorpione resurrezione della materia attraverso le erbe della Virgo e battaglia contro i veleni, nel Capricorno la battaglia contro i virus esterni e i virus letali ancora da debellare dopo la guarigione avvenuta nello Scorpio, come programma di convalescenza e prospettiva futura essendo le ossa la materia che resiste oltre la morte della carne, ossia i fossili
Il resto è solo congettura ad ognuno il suo ruolo e ogni pianeta a suo posto .
Ormai il mito è USA nella MNCD e nel suo perdurare anche nel Web come Athena Hermes Zeus Hades Virgo Scorpio Taurus Gemini Capri e tuttal’Astrologia Greca di Meryluise Astrologa

In Beijing, protesters were given three zones in which they could practice ”freedom of speech.” But the zones were a long way from any of the Olympic events, and to access them for purpose of protest you had to get a permit from the government. Needless to say, such permits are hard to come by in China.
In Seoul in 1987, such demonstrations led to the overthrowing of a regime and freedom for an entire people. In Beijing, the results may amount to much less.
