Marvin Gaye, the great American soul singer was born April 2, 1939 11:58 am in Washington Heights, District of Columbia. He died April 1, 1984,

He was an Aries Sun conjunct Mercury Retrograde conjunct Saturn in his 10th house of Worldly Success and Fame.  He has a lot of passion drive and energy. His Father and him had some pretty serious karma which proved to be fatal in his short life. 

Venus in Pisces conjunct Lilith

This is very creative energy, very sexual and can indicate a lust for extremely independent women but also love addictions and fear of powerful women. 

Mars in Capricorn squares his SUN. It sextiles Venus and Lilith and creates a YOD to Pluto in Cancer in his 1st house. A finger of God aspect. His father was  a preacher. 

Jupiter in Pisces is exalted and governs all artists, musicians, spiritual people was opposite to Neptune, ruler of Pisces and the Moon in Virgo. He was a hard working humble person, a perfectionist, someone who came here to serve the collective and uplift them spiritually. 

A gentle Cancer Ascendant with Pluto at the 29th degree of CANCER

A very strong personalty in his 1st house. Marvin had charisma and sex appeal. Let’s Get It On was one of his biggest hits a very sexual song. Cancer rules his family. Tragically his father shot him April 1st the day before his birthday in 1984. Gaye was shot twice following an altercation with his father after he intervened in an argument between his parents. Ironically Gaye Jr. gave the gun to his father as a Christmas present years before to protect himself with. It was a very tragic situation.

Deja Vu conversations

12:12 The Number 12 in the Tarot is the Symbol of The Hanged Man. It’s image is a male figure- the Nordic God Odin handing by his right ankle with is left crossed behind his leg from the World Tree or Tree of Life.

 It is considered to be an initiation card.  Odin sought knowledge and in order to get it he tied himself to the Tree of Life and hung there inverting himself and his thinking. His head is turned to the Mother earth that is the source of all intuition. He was rewarded with the Runic alphabet and a system or oracles.

12:12 is double that energy. The hanged man is about surrendering the ego. It is about turning your thinking around, looking at things upside down. We are too rigid in the way we think things are supposed to be. Let go and surrender is the big message of this energy. Don’t allow yourself to be a scapegoat or martyr.

Under a relationship-oriented Libra Moon, the moon makes Three nice ‘n easy sextiles with Venus, the Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius. Sextiles blend energies.

Moon squares Pluto

In early morning. Tempers May fly off the handle.

SUN conjuncts MERCURY RETROGRADE at 22 degrees Sagittarius

Déjà vu conversations. Things you haven’t thought about in years. Bright new insights into old ways of thinking. You may have to eat some words.

Moon inconjuncts Chiron in Pisces

The quincunxes is annoying it’s like talking to a wall. Oh so frustrating for a Libra energy which needs to relate.

Last but not least

Moon opposes Uranus in Aries

This makes for a high energy night out where anything can happen. Try something different in any level. Uranus brings breakthroughs.

This week is quiet leading up to the power-packed Galactic Sagittarius dark moon.

Next week a big historical page turns. I’m exhausted, how bout you?

How to use Saturn Mars for positive transformations

I’m in  a Virgo New Moon mode. Did a lot of sorting, cleaning and de-cluttering. Felt much more focused. It’s good.

Paid homage to serious Saturn in Scorpio conjunct Mars in ceremony with my husband. It felt good. We have been doing New and Full Moon rituals for 18 years together now.

Mars is HOT. Pure masculine libido, testosterone, drive, daring, spontaneous. Saturn is COLD. Ancient wisdom, seniority, plodding, depression, serious, father, death. Two polarities. Marshall McLuhan Toronto’s media philosophy guru used to talk about mediums being Hot or cold. But they can work together. Saturn slows down Mars hot headedness. Mars brings passion and new life to seniors or depression.

Three Faces of Man by Judy Chicago 1985 

“Youth is wasted on the young. ” George Bernard Shaw  said. But energy always be accessed, manifested, held molded and intended for powerful, long-term, practical goals, through patience and persistence. Like the embodiment of  the “superior Man” of the I Ching. We can create  a middle polarity balance point.

I feel that Mars has taken Saturn hostage temporarily. Mars is the dispositor being Scorpio’s ruling planet.

The warrior and the tax man together. Life force, sex and old age and death. The young action hero, like Luke Sky walker and Obi Wan Kenobi in Star Wars  and the wise old sage. The young punk and the cops. Pure energy and a wall of lead. There are many ways to think of these two planets.

As Saturn literally represents your father and if your dad has passed on like mine has, use this three days of the Dark Moon to connect with him more easily. I had a very powerful dream last night and my Dad was very present and spoke to me very clearly. 

You better use this energy well, Mars can conflag Saturn’s controlling energies. You could also be feeling more like Saturn’s dragging your heals,got your under his thumb. 

The planets don’t make us do anything. It’s all in how you use it. So use these powerfully intense planetary energies positively. You can use my intention. This is how Magic works. Put all your Mars desire into it. 

“I invite this life-giving martial energy to energize my body, and my long-term goals,to  completely transform my life into my Soul’s highest manifestation.” Ho. So mote it be. 

Try it on for size and let me know how it feels. Feel free to invent your own variation.

CAN’T EXPLAIN- THE WHO 1964

Under my Thumb- The Rolling Stones-1966 

4 14 14, Passover Blood Moon eclipse Astrology

The Blood Moon Total Lunar eclipse begins tonight at April 14 at 9:55 pm PDT on the first night of Passover in the Jewish tradition. 

It’s a Full Moon, a completion of a lunar cycle. The Full Moon pulls the tides of the ocean and within our own bodies, emotions swells. It is Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, fertility and passion are rising. 

4 14 14  is a code with a Grand Cardinal Cross of 4 planets involved.

the number 4 is a foundation, the 4 elements, the cross of matter.The symbol of the KING, Aries symbol of the Jewish people. There is Biblical prophesy about this tetrad of Lunar eclipses.

It’s a very active day. The Grand Cardinal Cross energy is activated.

The day before April 14    PLUTO GOES RETROGRADE @ 4:47 pm PDT

Pluto, Lord of Death, goes into his own home the Underworld till September 9. This brings safety in the dark, a reliving, a rewinding of old shadow issues, old patterns which may seem to be set in stone from looking at the Gorgon, but which are not. Pluto in Hades is most powerful. Great healing can come out of welcoming one own shadows, naming your fears, your unacceptable parts which haven’t been fully healed yet and seeing them in their naked soul truth. It is return to Source.

THE BLOOD MOON ECLIPSE in LIBRA

the Moon will be totally eclipsed at 12:08 am on April 15th PDT reaches MAX totality at 12:46 am PDT

IN LIBRA this eclipse points to the emotional rebalancing that we need to bring into our world.

I feel that this LUNAR eclipse is about the rebalancing of not only all relationships but most importantly women’s sacred menstrual blood being honored.

A  full Moon symbolizes very literally, the ripe Female ovum waiting to be fertilized.

For the ripe egg to turn blood-red from the eclipse indicates that no pregnancy has happened and menstruation has occurred as if time has dilated and sped up.

We have an overlap of ripe potent fertility combined with menstruation-no conception.

THIS IS A VERY POWERFUL image of the combination of the WHITE and the RED energies. Always the Masculine and the Feminine sexual symbols.

This Blood Moon to me,symbolizes the bringing into the Light the sacred power of women’s menstrual blood back from being almost totally hidden for thousands of years in western patriarchal culture.

Women need to bless their sacred wombs and their menstrual blood to help save the earth. This is the Libran balance that is so important now.

Over half the earth’s population are female and every month- every female past puberty till their menopause bleeds, releasing the most powerful healthy sacred blood which did not get fertilized.

The Divine Goddess Feminine energy is on the rise. Blood is life and death. Only women’s blood is the blood that brings life. It was the original fertilizer that created settled agriculture thousands of years ago.

Women’s sexuality and their sacred wombs that bring life into the world have been denigrated and need to be washed clean with fresh moon blood. This is the sign of that beginning.

I will post a video of how to do a ritual to cleanse and bless your wombs and rediscover the sacredness of Women’s sexuality and wombs which is the cauldron, the void, the Holy Grail.

Men also can take part, by reviewing how they have abused women’s sexuality, of their fear and denigration of women’s menstrual blood most sacred and psychic time of the month.

If you are bleeding during this time and are at the height of your psychic powers meditate and tune in and listen deeply, closely, tune into your womb wisdom.

If you have had a hysterectomy you still have a spirit womb. Tune into it.

If you are past menopause you are considered to be a wise woman, a Crone, considered to be always bleeding and holding your sacred blood within which empowers you totally.

Go out and watch the Moon turn Red – it’s a spectacular sight.

It will feel intense, and may not be totally apparent on the outer right away.

Deep emotions will well up.  write down what you feel. listen to your instincts.

Its a time to clear darkness and reclaim all aspects of feminine beauty.

Astrology answers, a reader’s chart by Tara Greene

A reader asked me to look at her Astrology chart and give her some feedback. I decided to put it up here.

Female N.C. Born March 7 1984 in 6:49 am Chicago

As a PISCES she is a very spiritual, highly sensitive, dreamy, psychic sponge, creative charitable, chameleon. With a LOT of 12th house, Pisces natural home, influence. The 12th house is the most secret, the house of the Unconscious, self- undoing, secret-enemies, spiritual, karmic, compassionate, blissful, addictions, institutions, film, creativity.  Pisces always root for the underdog, and are usually martyrs unless they have other very strong aspects in their charts. She wants to help everyone. There is often addictions issues in the family or herself. 

LOTS of WATER emphasis, emotions. She has three planets in Scorpio. Not much Fire. 

She also has Mercury conjunct the Sun, 1 degree away. Her mind and her SELF/ego/no self in PISCES, are one. Extends her natural PSYCHIC intuitive abilities. Mercury is considered to be “combust” in Western astrology, burned out by the SUN’s rays. It may cause her to hide your intelligence,{12th house}  and can be misdiagnosed as ADD or some such similar issue.  A person who analyzes intuitively, a researcher, she may work behind the scenes in institutions. 

She has VENUS in AQUARIUS in the 12th conjunct Asteroid ATHENA, very wise, detached in love. VENUS in the 12th is hidden love,unconscious love, spiritual  IDEAL DIVINE love. She may not feel safe coming out of the closet of the Unconscious. She may feels that she came from a different Universe. She loves everyone but in a detached way. She loves the entire Universe. Up close and personal may be hard to do. She is an independent woman, a lover of freedom, new ideas, technology. She is inventive in love, a good organizer and manager.  She could have Secret love affairs, dream lovers. She loves people who are quirky, different, unique, offbeat. A woman with different values that sets her apart. She may work in a male dominated environment.   

Her MOON is in the 1st house. She IS her emotions, her mother, her sensuality, her body. She is a persistent, very down to earth Taurus. She needs that Moon in Taurus, it keeps her from being such a PISCES 12th house emphasis space cadet. Give your Taurus Moon regular massages. She feels things very sensually and revels in this earthly Garden of Paradise. She is very stubborn. She has big appetites for sex, money, food, power. She needs stability a lot. Taurus Moon is associated with physical tools, resources, money, Real estate, hands in the earth, creativity, could be artistic, a musician. THINGS make her moods stabilize. 

Moon Opposite PLUTO Retrograde in Scorpio in the 7th, THIS IS INTENSE. This aspect is PLUTONIC, Scorpionic, always bringing huge emotional upheavals,life and death, rebirth, huge soul shock waves. Depression can be a life long  battle. She intimidates her partners. Her soul is bound to be in relationships with everyone she has been with before.  As much as she would like to stay safe in her Pisces spirit womb, she is hell bound to be out in the world in relationships. She can attract dangerous, deceitful, users, power trippers. Very sexual. She can be very demanding and fail for spite depending on her relationship with her mother. There can be sexual and emotional abuse in her life. Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio and exerts more power.  Huge will power, fixed, in an unconscious Scorpio she can use people and discard them at will. This can be a passive aggressive issue. Remember she is a PISCES first.

This is a great aspect for psychologists, social workers, therapists, astrologers, counsellors. You do everything at 200% lots of Scorpio energy. A great detective and researcher. YOU can make anything happen when you decide what that is..

SATURN in Scorpio RETROGRADE Opposite the Moon

Saturn conjunct MARS in Scorpio, rules the 8th sign/house. Mars squares VENUS.

Also very karmic. Difficulty in love in relationships. She came her to feel everything very very intensely. Her soul craves this. It’s is hard,her refuge is in SPIRIT. If she deals with death then her PISCES SUN knows that all is impermanent. Everything is connected.She just has to remember, forgiveness, compassion.

Saturn opposite the Moon

is a difficult birth, could be a lifer or death struggle with Mother and child at her own birth Not sure she really wanted to be here. The Father was very strict or not there. Difficult traumas with dad, and authority. Life is depressing, hard work. Parents split up. She was probably  very shy as a child. She needed to keep her feelings in check. She was put down by older siblings.  Money is an issue. Poverty consciousness. I can’t feel what I feel. Big emotional traumas. Sexual abuse. Self worth, trust issues. 

Mars in Scorpio conjunct Saturn-the two malefic planets. 

Karmic difficulty with men, sexuality, authority, finding purpose, Goals. Could be very very angry. The 8th house is secrets. I feel definite sexual abuse, by daddy or male figures. Lots of power if she can heal herself. Very driven. Huge desires. Needs to work on herself on her own emotions first. The 8th house is the house of money, she could work in finances, taxes. Constant break down and regeneration. I believe that everyone chooses their parents their time of birth everything form the soul’s perspective before incarnating. My sense is that very spiritual people take on the hardest aspects in their astrology charts. They are incredibly strong. 

She is a very old soul who came into this life to take on a lot of emotional issues. It’s not easy but offers the most opportunity for transcendence. She can escape from a harsh reality by daydreaming, creating or drugging out. The power is always out there. She needs to learn to own her own feelings. She has to be careful with substance abuse. But Pisces have no boundaries and she was forced to shut down at a very early age.

Mars opposite Chiron Venus square CHIRON at 28 degrees TAURUS conjunct JUNO in the 2nd house.

This is the mark of the wounded healer. She has taken on all of this intense emotional soulful destruction heavy emotions to heal herself and transcend. As she heals herself she can heal others. SATURN MARS PLUTO in Scorpio is extremely strong-willed. 

Chiron conjunct the Pleiades – incredible depths of sadness, very spiritual. Juno at 25 degrees Taurus is Feminine genius. In the 2nd house this is her Jewels. Her body knowledge. Her gut instincts. Her fortune. She is a very highly evolved spiritual soul.

NEPTUNE  Conjunct JUPITER in Capricorn in the 10th

Neptune rules her Pisces Planets in modern astrology and Jupiter rules them in traditional. People with 10th house planets have a great desire to be known in the world in their careers.  This is hugely spiritual, very very creative. She dreams of conquering the world, changing the way business works. Jupiter is BIG, International, corporations in Capricorn. The spiritual teacher, could be yoga teacher. Neptune is idealistic, ephemeral. She could be a great creative director, drama, art, dance, music, teacher, human resources person. She dreams big concrete practical dreams.

URANUS in Sagittarius is square to the Sun in the 9th

Jupiter rules her Uranus. She is thirsting for metaphysical, teachings, a revolutionary in education, legal matters, phiosophy. She aims for Universal truth, higher truth. She is very ethical. She can be erratic, chaotic. Freedom is vitally important to her. 

HER NORTH NODE is in GEMINI at 10 degrees in the 3rd

She need to be open minded, develop her curiosity, she is a communicator. She is very charming, hard for her to make up her mind, settle down. A butterfly. 

South Node is in Sagittarius conjunct her Uranus squaring LILITH in PISCES.

In past lives, she has been a great teacher, a metaphysician, a brilliant thinker whose ideas broke with tradition. She shook up the establishment, the Church or other established tradition and was probably burned at the stake. She was righteously indignant. She has strong past life memories. Unconsciously she is a very strong woman, independent,refusing to bow down to any man, or compromise her own feelings. 

This astrology software shows she has her Ascendant and all of her cusps at the very important ZERO degrees of all Solstices and Equinoxes. A huge power set up. 

TRANSITS

She has just had her first pass of her first Saturn Return. She will be in this energy all through 2014. Saturn in EXACTLY conjunct her Mars right now. A very difficult time. She is probably feeling desperate. Therapy is strongly indicated to help her understand and own her own stuff and name her perpetrators. Saturn goes Retrograde March 2 and Turns Direct at 16 degrees Scorpio exactly on her Saturn on July 20. So she should take this time to heal herself. Step away from old family karma. This is a difficult time as it is for everyone coming into their own, taking responsibility, truly individuating.

8th house Money may be a big issue.  Be careful to do your taxes. Do everything according to the letter. Sex can be dangerous.  She can attract violence to her if she doesn’t thoroughly clean up her own issues. This can manifest as  trouble with her mother,female siblings or  women in general. This can also manifest as an unwanted child,or an emotional burden. The money issues may be over shared resources, a home, property or inheritance, taxes and the like.  

The upside of the heavies is a possibility of a serious commitment in love but not easily. Saturn will again cross her Mars in Late October November into mid December 2014.She needs to work hard on herself preparing for rebirth.

ALso she has been under Pluto crossing her Jupiter in the last 2 years which can be a huge shift in career, direction, long term goals, education, usually very positive but world rocking.  Uranus has been squaring Jupiter  up till recently, and Jupiter opposing it. Lots of chaos in her life.

It will start to simmer down now. so she can deal with her first Saturn return.

JUPITER is giving her GRAND WATER TRINES to her SUN MERCURY SATURN and MARS.

Again maybe too much of a good thing? Optimizes change. 

Jupiter in LEO will square her Pluto and her Ascendant in late July. This will bring positive energy, passion, leadership and new direction. Jupiter will square her Moon in late August.  Jupiter is the  great benefactor and is traveling through her 5th house of love affairs, children, self expression, will power and leadership over this year. Things will improve then, life will get easier.  You may decide to make a big move or go back to school. Jupiter gives you a new persona. Get a total make over.

This  person have great psychic gifts. If she’s  never explored them now is the time. You are coming into your own domain to live life on your own terms. You have so much power. Use it wisely.

Blessings

Imbolc, Quickening, St. Brigid’s Day Groundhog Day tales fromTara Greene

Enough with this POLAR VORTEX, SPRING IS SPARKING

CELEBRATE

St. Brigid’s Day THE QUICKENING Candlemas Imbolc Groundhog Day

Feb. 1st –2nd Traditional Irish and Pagan Holiday Celebrations

Feb. 1st is the beginning of the FIRST FIRE of the SUN’s return, the spark, the First sign of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. This Ancient pagan, Celtic ,Wiccan, celebration is also called The QUICKENING.

Known as Saint Brigid’s Day, Birghita or Bride’s Day, it’s both a Catholic and Pagan Celebration of an ancient Goddess tradition. Imbolc is still celebrated by Wiccans/Pagan based Earth honouring religions. Christians overlaid the Ancient Goddess worshipers’ holiday renaming it Candlemas or the fest of the Purification of the Virgin on Feb 2.

This celebration is the midpoint between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. It is a “cross-quarter” day in the 8 rounds of the Wheel of Time in the Solar based year. The Celtic Year was based on both lunar and solar cycles, it is most likely the holiday would be celebrated on the Full Moon nearest those 2 midpoints, when early spring flowers would begin to rise up through the snow, and snakes would come out of the ground.
In non secular terms it become GROUDHOG DAY on Feb 2. Snakes are always sacred Goddess symbols.

SACRED

That Ancient peoples of Ireland kept this day as very sacred. At the Megalithic and Neolithic sites, such as the Loughcrew burial mounds and the Mound of the Hostages in Tara, Ireland, the inner chambers of the passage tombs are perfectly aligned with the rising sun of both Imbolc and Samhain attesting to the value placed on this day.

Triple Goddess/Saint Brigid/Bride

She is according to Robert Graves, the most Ancient Triple Goddess worshipped since time out of mind. The Goddess rules over scholars and poets. She is the Goddess of fire and inspirations in Ireland, the Goddess of poetry, creativity, smithcraft and healing. She also rules healing with water, and divination. She is said to rule over people who work with cows and chickens, brewers, fugitives, midwives, infants, printers, sailors, travelers, New Zealand, & Irish nuns. This day symbolizes a time of transitions, initiations, new beginnings, of planting seeds that will sprout later. Brigid/Birgita represents the light half of the year, Her power brings the people out of the dark season of winter into spring, so, it is a very important time of the year.

The Goddess Brigid and Saint Brigid are the same being in two forms, peace makers and bridges. The matronly Goddess Brigid bridged the two warring races of gods of the ancient Tuatha de Danann with her sacred marriage, and Saint Brigid was the bridge between the Druids and the Christians. Brigid was the daughter of a Druid Chieftain and the first woman bishop of Ireland. The nuns of Kildare carry on the sacred work.

Originally the return of the Light was celebrated  as Sacred Sexual customs, sacred Tantric Kundalini rising.

She is the Goddess of Augury PROPHETS

In the Druidic tradition, poetry and augury were associated. She is patron of prophets and seers.

Celtic seers divined by looking into deep water and into flames. This is a great time to do divination.

Triple Goddess

She has two sisters with the same name. One aspect of her carries a blacksmith tongs and a sword, because she is also patroness of war; another aspect holds 2 healing snakes, from which the modern Doctor’s symbol is derived, the caduceus, the third aspect carries a wand with a crescent moon and a tablet.

Elements

Brigid rules the Waters. Many healing springs are dedicated to Brigid. Natural bodies of water also signify Her presence, particularly where three streams joined together. She also rules Fire, so it is customary to make candles for the coming year and bless them on this day.

Protecting Goddess

In her aspect as Brigantia, she carries a spear, an orb of victory, and wears a war crown. She symbolizes protection of the country from invaders and slavery.

Midwives

As Patroness of MIDWIVES, she was invoked at the door of the home where the woman was giving birth, by the midwife. Who speke:

“Bride, Bride, come in! Thy welcome is truly made, Give thou relief to the woman, And give thou the conception to the Trinity.”

Brigid is the guardian of every newborn, their cradles protected with a woven Brigit’s Cross, an equal armed cross. Upon a safe delivery, the infant was blessed or “sained” by the midwife, with 3 drops of water on the child’s forehead, dedicating the Child to the Triple Goddess. The “Holy Trinity” in its modernized Christian aspect, was just an overlay of the Goddess Triple Aspect since time out of memory. A candle was carried ‘round the bed sun wise three times. As Brigid is a Solar Goddess. We think of the Sun as masculine but originally all aspects of the Universe were considered Feminine.

Brigid Ruler of the Hearth

Especially in Gaelic Scotland, Brigid’s dolls are placed near the hearth on her Feast Day. The doll is usually dressed in white, decorated. A white wand is placed in her bed as a fertility charm. As she is patroness of agriculture, pastures, livestock, and abundance. An offering is made to her of dairy products. The Brigid doll is kept throughout the year near the hearth hung on a wall, or by a door, as a talisman of protection, then burnt the next year.

Light a Candle and Invoke the Goddess at this time-

I kindle this candle in the name of Brighid, Goddess of Smiths,

I sain this house in the name of Brighid, Goddess of Healers,

I smoor this candle in the name of Brighid, Goddess of Poets.

One folk tradition still continues in both Christian and Pagan homes on St. Brigid’s Day is that of St. Brigid’s Bed. Girls and young unmarried women create corn dollies to represent Brigid, these are adorned with ribbons, baubles shells or stones. A bed is made for the doll to lie in. On St. Brigid’s Eve Jan 31, the girls gather together in one house and stay up all night with the doll, are are later visited by all the young men, who ask permission to enter the home, and then treat the young maidens and the dolly with respect. The next day the girls carry the doll through the neighbourhood from house to house, where she is welcomed with great honour. Adult women stay home to welcome the Brigid procession and offer snacks and coins to the young girls and maidens.

Brigid is said to walk the earth on Imbolc eve. Feb 1st. Before going to bed, each member of the household may leave a piece of clothing or strip of fabric outside for Brigid to bless. The cloth are brought inside the next morning, believed to now have the powers of healing and protection.

BRIGID is alive and well.

The name “Britain” is a derivation of Brigit’s name. Britain was named for an ancient Celtic tribe, the Brigantes, who were the largest Celtic tribe in the country in pre-Roman times who worshipped Her as their Deity. The word “brigand” comes from this tribe of fierce warriors. Her symbol is a flaming spear. Her worship spread, leaving behind places named in Her honour-Brittany in France, Brechin in Scotland, the name Brent, in England, any name containing Bride. Britain’s symbol, the Goddess Brigantia, still found on their 50 cent coin is Brigid in her aspect as Goddess of the Land.  Of course Britany Spears is carrying the modern archetype of Brigid, and strangely enough one of Brigid’s symbols is a flaming spear!
