White Rabbits

Part I

I've been seeing lots of white rabbits lately and they have a deep resonance for me. At the weekend I went to Bristol and my Neice showed me her favourite cuddly toy called "magic rabbit" (its white).

 I noticed last week the white rabbit on the titles to "I'm a celebrity get me out of here" , and how they sync'd with the white rabbits on a canvas poster near my home by clapton pond,
White rabbits are perhaps best know as the symbol of the stage magician or the playboy bunny  and of course there's the white rabbit in Lewis Carols "Alice" books.

In the Matrix ,Neo's path towards awakening was  symbolised in various ways one of which was  "following the white rabbit."  A few years later The White Rabbit symbol appeared again  in another film as Frank's costume in Donnie Darko.  

I had a personal experience with going down the "rabbit  hole" of the white rabbit in the nineties when "Lord Sabre " from Sabresonic / Sabres of Paradise used the imagery  around the same time I was reading Robert Anton Wilsons  "illuminatus"   R.A.W (who early in his career wrote for playboy) wrote a commentary on the white rabbit in his "cosmic trigger" trilogy.

"The pookah takes many forms, but is most famous when he appears as a giant, six-foot white rabbit - which is the form most Americans know from the play and film, "Harvey".k Whatever form the pookah takes, he retains the special ability of his species, which is like that of Thoth in Egyptian legend, Coyote in Native American myth or Hanuman the Divine Monkey in Hindu lore - he can move us from one universe, or Belief System, into another, and he likes to play games with our ideas about 'reality.''"
From Robert Anton Wilson's Cosmic Trigger Volume 2.

Part III

I started this post on 30th November, so was amazed when the following morning my colleague at work told me about the expression"white rabbits white rabbits white rabbits" which it is apparently good luck to say on the first day of each month.A number of conversations have occured since then and I have been reminded of the  further  rabbit resonances in my life ; Brear Rabbit (the trickster) which my dad used to read to me as a child, the rabbits of watership down, the "grey" rabbit of bugs bunny, the sexy rabbit (hare) of the cadbury's caramel adds and the film "Who framed Roger Rabbit?"

Owls

Owl & Snake

Part 1

Recently a blog by Chris Knowles (The Secret Sun) drew my attention to Mike Clelland "The Owl Guy" who wrote "The Messengers" a book about Owls,Synchronicity and the UFO abductee". In the book they mention an observed relationship between "contactees" and people whose mothers having an unusual interest in Owls.
This resonated with me because when I was a teenager my mother suggested to me I start an "owl collection" I wasn't that keen on the idea ,but my mother was clearly into it, she owned a green morris minor with the registration plate "owl" and had placed a little cuddly toy owl in the back windscreen,
she proceed to give me "owls" at every opportunity Christmas, birthdays on holiday etc. she would buy them in gift shops etc. I had china owls ,posters paintings mobiles, pencils, key rings etc. you name it ( my brothers were not exactly jealous cause they always new the extra present I got would be an owl)
I never thought much of the significance apart from briefly when we studied a book entitled "the owl service" in English Literature .

I'm not sure if I noticed the Owl in David Bowies "Labyrinth"

I kind of forgot about owls after my mother passed on , more recently my Capoeria teacher gave me the nick name of "curugito" which i think means "owl" or little owl Courigitto was the "familiar" of "She Ra" Princess of Power" the opposite number of "Orco" from the "He Man" cartoon , later my teacher renamed me "curugito sonhador "The owl dreamer"

When I first wrote this note while I was watching the qualifying in the Brazillian GP they showed an Owl sitting by the track , then the camera switch to one of the cars No 23 , The illuminati will know why I smiled
It wouldn't have warranted a note , but seconds later i received a flyer reminding me of the forthcoming Ugly Funk / Vinyl Pleasures "Last Revolution" party at the Foundry at which a friend "DJ wrongspeed" is playing at . I quickly Googled "DJ Wrongspeed" to see his latest podcast is entitled "A bad day for Owling Championships"

Part 2

Over Christmas I've been resonating the Blue cats ,Blue moons and Smurfs today I switched to Blue Owls and at the very moment a friend from work commented on my new profile pic it I saw an advert for centreparks featuring an owl .. anyone for a holiday ?


Part 3 August 2010


Just got back from a family holiday in Cornwall where my mothers family came from, I noticed there is a place called the "Screech Owl Sanctuary " near Newquay and something was tugging at me to make a visit.

I very much relate Owls to my Mum (Rip) and spirits /aliens so it was interesting when I saw a post by Everett about their appearance in the film "the fourth kind" and ancient Sumerian culture references / native American culture references.

White Wolves / Werewolves

For about a week or so  I'd been experiencing a succession W.W.  synchronicities.  ( WestWood, Way out West, West World, Water World , Wascal Wabbit, White Wolves & WereWolves)

 Then  I saw that Arrowsmith had posted about the  WOLF/FLOW on his blog , and today I was reading the latest post by Neil Kramer on "The Cleaver" ( which included lots of images of wolves ) No sooner had I finished reading it than Shakira's new tune "She Wolf" came on MTV in the background.

  I'm concious that far right White supremacist Facist/Nazi organisations (BNP/NF/EDL etc) have started to use White Wolf symbolism just like they have tried to appropriate the history of Winston Churchill and take "ownership" of union jack etc. 

I think it's interesting the far right groups resonate with the wolf as I believe their "politics of hate" is a result not just of ignorance but a deep seated fear.
They hunt in packs preying on the vulnerable. Wolves like many dogs when hunting smell the fear and these far right political leaders do similar things smelling the fear in their potential recruits.

The Buddha and later Yoda said "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hatred and hatred leads to suffering...." and this is sadly a description of the activity of the far right

 Like the "K" Liberation Front my instinct is to challenge Far right organisations over ownership of language  and symbols which should be common currency.
I first became concious of the wolf archetype with the children's favourite "Little Red Riding Hood " 

I first became aware of the werewolf in the seldom remembered american TV series "Lucan". A more typical werewolf "Professor Lupus"  afflicted by his transformation at the full moon caught my imagination in the Harry Potter Books.

 In my mid teens I was exposed to the more "adult" version of little red riding hood and became more aware of sexual themes related to the werewolf archetype. Human sexuality unfettered, like an untrained dog, can have dangerous consequences. Informational exchange with Agents ov thee 23rd current reintroduced me to the Wolf archetype to in relation to "Sleeping Dogs" and the awakening of conciousness. Energetic practises relating to the use of  "chi" or "kundalini" energy to raise consciousness, makes one aware of the uses of sexual energy in ways other than carnal pleasures or procreation.

The Wolfen by Whitley Striber is a dark take on extra terrestrials descended from canids preying on humanity.

 A positive spin in on wolves was provided in "Dances with Wolves" featuring Kevin Kostner

 In Capoeira there's an expression "The lone wolf" for a player that for whatever reason doesn't have a group or Master to call their own. Since moving away from London, while I haven't left my group or severed ties with my Master,  I  have felt somewhat of a "Lone Wolf"

The "Lone Wolf" is also used to refer to "The Ronin" - The  Samurai with no Lord or Master wandering the land providing security for hire.

 Thus to me the wolf represents the awakened conciousness , not the vicious hunter driven unconsciously by fear.
