By that standard, we should all learn Aristotle's version of why rocks fall when you drop them.

I can just wing it, when I fuck with Pagans. Hell, THEY do.

Good point.

I had an experience at a party this weekend, that put me in mind of this pragmatist approach.

If I can find the time, I'll write it up.

But Rog, if you agree that the human mind tries to make connections between whatever it sees, and that those connection seem to mimic the human thought process in part, why wouldn't examining a system that's been developed for centuries shed some light onto a part of the human mind?


and if you can use it to fuck with people, why shouldn't you learn it?

I suggest Cain split off the kabalah and tarot parts of this stuff & start a new subforum called "Superstitious Bullshit", so TGRR will know to avoid it as if it were full of rabid bees.

Read their interpretations, think about which sephiroth are being connected, see which one makes more sense, use the system you're more comfortable with.

For example:


-> 


Would seem to be an arrow.

<-


so would that.


So, -><-, , being the 5 fingerd hand o eris would be interpreted as a meeting of conflicting ideas/enegries/"things".


Or something like that.

Before working the flowchart, work on your symbols.

An experiment:  Post your symbols with no definition, and we will try to figure out what you're trying to symbolize.

I'm having trouble with grasping that intuitively.


The average viewer would need to know what the fuck you're talking about  first.

You can always ask Cain to spit it into a different forum.

Might as well just go for geometry.

circle = vagina and/or infinity

line = penis and/or singularity

triangle = stability

square = containment

Short response: not possible, if by "common" you mean "universal".

So what, is this supposed to be a "Grand Unified Theory of Symbols", or something?
