[alatismeni-theitsa]

If your day sucked so far, give this a listen!

It's a traditional Greek Kalanda Photon (Epiphany Carol) from a kids' choir and I personally find it so fast and cheery that it gives me child-like joy! It reflects the kids' happiness for the Illumination/Enlightenment of the world.

This carol is commonly sung around the Theophany and accompanied by percussion instruments such as drums and santouri.

Literal Greek translation below (I love literal translations and find them very insightful, fight me)

Today is the Lights and the Enlightenment The happiness is big and (so is) the sanctification Down the Jordan River Sits our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary Good day! Good evening! Good day to you master and matron She carries an organ, a candle she holds And pleads with St. John. St. John lord and Baptist Baptize me, a child of god So I can ascend to the heavens To gather roses and incense Good day! Good evening! Good day to you master and matron!

Past life tarot because I didn't like my options.

Big Daddy Past Life Reading

This specifically does not have card numbers or a lay out. I leave that in your capable hands.

Pull a card every time a question is asked, pull multiple! In fact you may NEED multiple to answer some of the questions. Pull when you disagree with something. Maybe something I said or a thought that crossed your mind when you read it. Hells, pull a card when there's a neat cloud outside or because there happens to be a man in a blue hat. Make arches with the questions and staves with the statements. Separate them by section or not at all. Straight lines are cool too. Let your imagination go wild, but use this spread to tell the truth as you see it. If you were Anne Bolyn's scullary maid don't make out like you were part of a plot to poison her. Do your research, and let history help you.

Lastly, and then I'll shut up: This is a BIG SPREAD. Take water breaks. I will know if you don't. I won't do anything about it, because hey, I'm on the internet. But I'll be disappointed. And You know that I'll know. It's just easier on both of us if you drink the water.

Questions with an asterisk* are thrown in for flavor. They don't specifically impact the reading.

There is a section on Generational Trauma that is meant Specifically For People Currently Affected By Generational Trauma and is not for those who are not in a minority. That was not clear enough in the original but consider it clarified.

Ask your deck "which life is affecting me?", reshuffle and move on from there as normal. 

Section One

The Past Life

Gender

Temperament (were you kind? Ruthless? Selfish?)

Disposition (how did you treat others? Were you polite? Haughty? Humble?)

Did you have any phobias that might affect me? (Fear of heights due to death by fall, etc.,)

What was it like where you lived?/Where did you live? (May require several cards--Stop at three! Any more will muddle the picture)

Major history events around you/ What time period was this in? 

*How do you express yourself through me?

*What food did you like? 

Section 2

Things That Directly Affect Me and Life Around Me

Is there generational trauma from you that I need to heal?  (Were you a slave? Did you own slaves? Did you belong to a colonized people?)

A.2 How do I address and deal with those things? (How do I make reparations without letting the sins of the father fall on the head of the son, or conversely, How do I look for and accept reparations and equity while reaching for the privilege of equality?)

Is there a generational blessing that I can attribute to you? (Empathy to others and animals, cooking, music, ... Magic?)

What lessons was I meant to learn in my past life? (Trust or wariness, enlightenment, gentleness?)

C. 2) am I still learning those lessons? 

What role, if any, did (x person) have in my life? (I. E., my mom, my best friend, my bitter enemy? Has that guy who spilled mustard on me last week been spilling things on me for generations???? [This is a joke])

What extreme past emotion is still affecting me? (Fear, rage, sorrow, hope?)

DID YOU MAKE ANY SOUL CONTRACTS? Sorry to yell. This one's a biggie. Did past you bind you to anything, be it a Christian binding their souls to God (or the alternative) or promising their souls to finding knowledge, music, whatever. The important thing is bonds and binding. Do you gott'em?)

Did you make any vows that need to be revoked? (Second verse, same as the first. Could be as simple as having been a Catholic priest with that indelible mark on the soul, or whatever. Doesn't matter. Now-you ain't consent to that, and you deserve to know)

*What disabilities did you have that I may share? (DO NOT USE THIS AS A DIAGNOSTIC. this is a fun extra for disabled people like me who go "oh cool, past-me also had crippling pain, good to know.")

*What talent or gift did you have in a past life that I may share now? (Is juggling transmittable through lives? Who's to know.)

What did I accomplish then that affects me now? (Like carpentry, music, art, so on.)

Section 3

What My Soul Need To Know Now 

(Not necessarily relevant to everyday life, but head's up. You might need this.)

Does my death in my past life affect me now, and how? (it's not going to be a case of "oh he was missing a leg and mine hurts sometimes that must be why." That is your body responding to time. This means more… was I killed unjustly and now I work in civil liberties? or, did I die in a fire once and now I'm fascinated/terrified of fire?)

Obstacles that you faced. Do we share any? (Racism, poverty, etc.,)

Where in my life do I need to be more like you? (Stubborn, giving, loyal, idk)

Where do I need to be less like you? (Giving too much, weak-willed, too quick to anger, yada yada)

*What gifts or talents did you possess that I may share? (Once again, this is not a diagnostic. Is juggling transmissible through lifetimes? Who's to know.)

*How do I feel more connected to you? (I like getting to know my past selves. What they would have thought or decided about a thing. Some people DO NOT and that's why this is a flavor option)

* Do you want to be honored in my life? How do I do that? (A particular book, a shiny rock, your collection of vintage whatevers are all great ways to think of and honor your past selves  if you feel inclined in that direction.)

Irish Grammar Notes - Séimhiú (lenition)

In a nutshell, Irish séimhiú (lenition) is a mutation of consonants to make them sound softer and to make the speech smoother. Séimhiú is marked by adding a letter ‘h’ after a consonant. Nine consonants pick up séimhiú: b, c, d, f, g, m, s, p, t.

bean →  bhean cara → chara deartháir → dheartháir fuinneog → fhuinneog guí → ghuí mála → mhála súil →  shúil pota → phota teach → theach

Séimhiú changes the pronunciation of a word! Here are some yt videos for reference video 1 (Ulster dialect), video 2, video 3.

Exception

There is a certain exception no this rule - dental consonants d, t, s do not pick up séimhiú; theacht (no-dental t) but tine (dental t). I recommend checking the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) spelling of a word whenever you’re not sure if a consonant is dental or not bc it can be tricky :)

When do consonants pick up séimhiú?

After the definite article ‘an’ - in feminine nouns in nominative singular, bean → an bhean - in masculine nouns in genitive singular, fir →  carr an fhir

After the vocative particle ‘a’, cairde → a chairde

After possessive pronouns, madra → mo mhadra

After prepositions ‘de’, ‘faoi’, ‘mar’, ‘ó’, ‘roimh’, ‘trí’, ‘um’, ‘idir’, ‘ar’, maidin →   roimh mhaidin

After the preterite and conditional of the coupla, duine → ba dhuine

After past particles ‘níor’ and ‘ar’, múinteoir → níor mhúinteoir é

After particles ‘a’, ‘má’, ‘ní’, tuigim → ní thuigim

After numers 1-6 when counting people or things, bó → aon bhó

After constructions of adjective + noun written as compounds,  fear óg → ógfhear

If the word is the second part of a compound word, gorm → dúghorm

If the word is a modifier in some fixed constructions as ‘rainy weather’ báistí → aimsir bháistí

In some adjectives in some contexts, deas → bean dheas

After most prefixes such as ‘an’, ‘ró’, ‘ais’, beag → ró-bheag [full list to be updated]

How does it look like in a sentence?

So, to say that the weather was rainy but I took my dog for a walk, you need to modify certain consonants like this:

Bhí an aimsir bháistí ach thóg mé mo mhadadh ag súil.

Remember to take it easy, everything comes with a practice! Also, I’m neither native nor fluent Irish speaker, so feel free to correct me if I’ve made any mistakes.

She Je Boshe Ache Cover EREN Lofi | সে যে বসে আছে  | Lofi Remake | Eren Sharifuz

Song : She Je Boshe Ache Original - Arnob Covered By Unknown Lofi Remix- Eren Sharifuz Video Editing : Eren Sharifuz

Lyrics : সে যে বসে আছে একা একা রঙিন স্বপ্ন তার বুনতে, সে যে চেয়ে আছে ভরা চোখে জানালার ফাঁকে মেঘ ধরতে। সে যে বসে আছে একা একা রঙিন স্বপ্ন তার বুনতে, সে যে চেয়ে আছে ভরা চোখে জানালার ফাঁকে মেঘ ধরতে।

তার গুনগুন মনের গান বাতাসে উড়ে কান পাতো মনে পাবে শুনতে, তার রঙের তুলির নাচে মেঘেরা ছুটে চোখ মেল যদি পারো বুঝতে। তার গুনগুন মনের গান বাতাসে উড়ে কান পাতো মনে পাবে শুনতে, তার রঙের তুলির নাচে মেঘেরা ছুটে চোখ মেল যদি পারো বুঝতে।।

সে যে বসে আছে একা একা তার স্বপ্নের কারখানা চলছে, আর বুড়ো বুড়ো মেঘেদের দল বৃষ্টি নামার তাল গুনছে। সে যে বসে আছে একা একা তার স্বপ্নের কারখানা চলছে, আর বুড়ো বুড়ো মেঘেদের দল বৃষ্টি নামার তাল গুনছে।

সেই গুন গুন মনের গান বৃষ্টি নামায় টপটপ ফোটা পড়ে অনেকক্ষণ, সেই বৃষ্টি ভেজা মনে ডাক দিয়েছে ভেজা কাক হয়ে থাক আমার মন। সেই গুন গুন মনের গান বৃষ্টি নামায় টপটপ ফোটা পড়ে অনেকক্ষণ, সেই বৃষ্টি ভেজা মনে ডাক দিয়েছে ভেজা কাক হয়ে থাক আমার মন।

সে যে বসে আছে, সে যে বসে আছে ..
