I’m not sure what to think about the new Disney princess movie.  A return to hand-drawn animation excites me and I think it’s great that the movie features an African-American protagonist.   But the previews I’ve seen cause a bit of concern about old stereotypes being perpetuated.    The voodoo side of things concerns me too. 

I haven’t seen the movie yet but just read this review…http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/movies/reviews/2009/princessandfrog.html

Any thoughts?

“It is not the beginning of the end, merely the end of the beginning.” These words are particularly appropriate this week, as I finish out Nanowrimo. Tomorrow is the final day, at which time I will have my very first finished novel. Of course, I say finished, but as stated above, this is an illusion. My Novel will have been given shape, but it has not yet been given life. That will require several months of intensive editing, re-editing, reading, re-reading, and possibly some re-writing. However, the basic form which it has now will not change.

It will still be a story about a Dragon named Aurelia who collects books, and is a scholar. She will still set out on a a quest to locate an object with several human companions. And she will still narrate the Story for us. So, I thought this week it would be appropriate to give a synopsis of the Novel as it now stands.

The Story is set in an alternate history Europe, with both Medieval elements and Classical elements, as well as some purely fantastical elements. The Narrator, Aurelia, is a Bookewyrme, though throughout the story she, and other bookewyrmes are referred to as “Librarians” as that is usually their occupation. Aurelia’s library is housed in the castle of the Prince of Durham, the younger brother of the King of Brittania. The Prince has three children, a daughter who is the eldest, and two younger sons. Unfortunately, the daughter cannot inherit, though she is the most suited to do so, because the Law of the Kingdom forbids this. The Princess is on the verge of being married to a Prince of another Kingdom, thus separating her both from her Rightful Inheritance and her beloved Lady Marisa, when she comes up with a desperate plan. She decides to set out to find an artifact associated with the Helenic God Hermaphroditus which is said to be able to change the gender of whoever uses it. She is accompanied by several Guards, the Lady Marisa, our Narrator Aurelia, and Aurelia’s plucky maid, Elsie.

They travel through many lands, and encounter many different people and beings, including an ordinary (and very bad-tempered) dragon, a woman who is one quarter Valkyrie, and a Dwarf. One of the places they visit is the Land of the Elves, which is based rather heavily on Ancient Egypt. Here they encounter the oldest living Bookewyrme, and several Elven Gods. At last, they finish their Journey to the Temple of Hermaphroditus in Eastern Helas, returning the Artifact to its proper place, and gaining the God’s gratitude. The Novel ends with the Princess returning to her own Kingdom to claim her proper place as her Father’s Heir.

Of course, there are a few twists and turns, but as I hope to publish this story some day, I will not spoil them for anybody. The novel is actually the first in a trilogy featuring Aurelia, called The Librarian Chronicles. Currently, the title of this work is “Princess” but it is possible this will change over time.

Many apologies for the short post today. I still have about 3,000 more words to chase around the page before Midnight tomorrow, and if I leave them for too long, they start to Escape.

Until next week, Dear Reader!

Thought for the Day: “You can’t wait for Inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.” Jack London

Currently Reading: Cordelia’s Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold

I already explained briefly about the structure of Eden, now I will speak about the gardens.

Eden is in the center of the realm of time and space. From a point of view of the third dimension, Eden would be a huge mass of hydrogen. Is pretty cold there.

Eden is built in a dimension that cannot be seen by human eyes. It is a sonic dimension.

All around Eden are placed the gardens. Each garden is what we call a Universe. Each Universe is a garden. Humans call as Universe the whole, but we Angels use the word Universe for each garden, in the singular. Each Universe is separate from the other by a black hole layer, therefore the beings from one Universe hardly can see the other. Some can, but is rare. In this Universe for example is possible to see our neighbor Universe from Orion ( the Universe of green lights), but this is because we are in the very corner of our Universe, in the very very corner.

Each Universe has a particular way to work and different physical rules, the only ships that can cross the from one Universe to another are the Elfic Spaceships, what means, Angels and smugglers only ( who sometimes steal our ships, and travel with these stolen ships). I don´t bother about them because they are under the crown of the Dark Prince, my brother, they are apolitical and there is a silent agreement between me and the Dark Prince, that he supplies the planets that are too far away for my logistic to go, so, although they are criminals, they are totally necessary, because they are a parallel vein that supply mainly tritium and communication for the darkest corners of my Principality.

I could do it, but I love the Dark Prince, and I think that he does the job well, so I do not intend to take his job. There is space for everyone to grow in my Principality, since the person respect the populations, so I respect his fire of doing things on his own way, as long as he remains away from Michael´s policies and for exploiting the populations, and in this case there is another silent agreement, the price of his products are lower that the official products, however he sells mainly to the poorer populations, so he is an important branch for me to fight the Michaels´s system that made happen a sick distribution of resources, and this way I can be sure that everyone gets the necessary to live.

So, as I was saying, each Universe is apart form the other by a black hole ring. Each Universe has a Princess, a Dark Prince, An Ambassador, a Melquisedec´s office, at least.

The Princess distribute the land and establish the lineages of the kings, plus built the structure, choose the philosophy and even can order a changing in few physical rules to the Graal, if that would be good for the populations. We can also destroy or order new planets, change the routes and so on, but generally this things are chosen before there are populations in the Universe.

The Dark Prince is the one that will host under his crown all sort of criminals, and organize them to the minimal damage ( to Eden). He is an Angel too. In the case of this Universe, the Dark Prince is my brother from the Diamond Family ( in the Black Diamond stage).

The Ambassador is always a Lucifer, he takes care of the Eden´s citizens and of Edens business in the Universe.

Melquisedec´s team collects the taxes – the Princess don´t touch the taxes. He also liberates the resources that I need to run the Universe. We work very well together, his team is wonderful, they are usually hosted at the Embassy, because they are citizens of Eden and the Embassy is the best protected place in the Universe.

How do I run the Universe? Theoretically, through the royal lineages. But now the Universe is not being run, it is more to something chaotic because Michael attacked and killed my Kings and Queens and placed impostors in the thrones of all major planets. As a royal lineage takes generations to be done, because of the genetic adjustments, me and Lucifer had to invent the democracy to fight back the thieves, but it makes our job much more complex.

Democracy is a condition, not a choice, as it may seem. We establish it, with a lot of sacrifice, after a kingdom has been taken by Michael´s barbarians, so to protect the population against their exploitation, but it is not the ideal system. The ideal system is the kingdom with a king from the celestial lineages.

Why? Because then we can distribute the resources better. A royal family from the Angelic lineages have something that others are not supposed to have – the genetic that allow what in English is called “channeling” or “paranormality”, this way the royal family can be all the time in contact with the Principality, receiving our direct orders and placing their kingdom in tune with our organization for all the Principality, making the resources flow smoothly among all planets. Presently, without the true royal lineages placed in the right positions just as hubs of communication and flow of resources, the contact among the planets and with us in the Principality is almost non existent.

A paranormal cannot be loose among the ordinary population, as it is happening now, because he suffer, he is delicate. Now they are born everywhere without special protection, but to spread the genetic was the only way to protect the royal lineages from been completely terminated by the Michael´s hunters. A paranormal must be protected inside the walls of a palace, by a guard of beings of his kind plus a guard of Angels. Why? Because he is a telephone, a precious and rare tool, a gem whose genetic took millenia to be prepared.

As a delicate tool, if he is unprotected, he will be used by evil spirits, because a telephone can be used by those who have access to the line, while he was prepared to serve only the Angels. There should not be evil spirits in my Principality, they are also a result of the distortion and mess that Michael created, because he destroyed the perfect system of collection of the souls that we had, since he placed into the hearts of the creatures the wish to meet God. This way, these souls are out of tune, and our systems are not capable to collect them decently, and then they suffer of hunger and thirsty, because there have never been created a place for them in this state, they should not exist in this state, and then they become evil and take control of the semi-sacred sensitives.

I did all right in the beginning, I placed my Angelic genetic in the best individuals of all species, I turned them into Queens and Kings, and there was no famine, pain, cold, or lack of education or lack of development, all in time.

But then Michael come, hired barbarians to kill my Kings and their families “in the name of God” with his brainwashing, called the real Kings as barbarians and placed in the throne the corrupt brute of his court, that started to exploit the people. As his “kings” were not paranormal sensitives, he kidnapped the paranormals of my celestial lineages, the original heirs, because they had special capabilities ( the one of being capable to talk to us in the Principality), and enslaved my children at service of his brute corrupt “kings”.

What could me and Lucifer do? Well, we asked to the Department of Philosophy, and some of our friends in there come up with this brilliant idea of democracy. We finally took the power partially back with the democracies, but this system is not perfect, because we have no way yet to protect the sensitives, our direct children, who are still exploited, and there is no way to assure the fair distribution of resources, and there is still corruption. But is better than the Michael´s barbarians.

Michael could not take all the Kingdoms, so he had a great idea. He established a parallel spiritual power, that he called religions. In the original kingdoms there were no need of religion, because the Queen and King are in contact with the Angels all the time. There is no need to maintain a second expensive structure, because the resources, if remaining in a kingdom, must be applied for the education of the children and in structure, not in keeping an expensive structure to supposedly please God, deceiving people. People does not to have to think about it, the royal lineages are doing the connection for all. This is the most pragmatical and economically optimal way.

Because in the original kingdoms there were no religion, Michael called them barbarians, but the contact with the Angels were much more intense and effective in that times than now.

Well, with that, Michael took some Kingdoms, that we turned into democracies later, but he kept the control of the minds through his parallel religious structure, that is not at all tied to Eden, it is only tied to the Grays and run by the Grays, because me and Lucifer are the ones with the original power of attorney of Eden, only we have the official channels to Eden. The connection of Michael and his religions with”God”never left the borders of this Universe, at least not officially. About GOD herself, yes, she does speak even with ordinary people, She can speak even with a flower, but She does not accept intermediates. If She is to speak with someone, She goes directly and speak, and differently of us, Angels, that need a sensitive to be our voice for the populations, GOD does not need it, She speaks directly to the person, so the religions does not have anything to do with Her, at all.

In my Principality there were originally one function for each kind of person, and all could live and be happy. But now is all messed up, people´s minds are full of the burdens that they don´t need, and everyone suffer in one field or another.

Me and Lucifer, we look at this with horror, but we honestly don´t know what else to do. I continue my endurance for the Alchemical Marriage in human bodies, but there is not much for me to do from here. Democracy was our last shot, but in this places it seems that the religions of Michael prospered too. Well, we will continue thinking, and one day we will find a way to set the minds and hearts free again, and to undo the genetic mess that Michael did to assure a way to enslave the populations in his own purposes.

Unbelievable? See the results, then. See the results, Grays, look what you did with your betrayal, look at yourselves! See the results, Eden! Look at the populations that remained loyal to me, there is no famine, no pain! Look at the populations that carry the dragon and the Elfic symbols! They are not so numerous, but there is no under-education! They are the top in life style in every single planet of my Principality!

One think is vital to reveal.

The humans were not supposed to be our masterpiece. The Grays were. The Grays received the best minds that we had in stock at the Graal Industries. The Grays received bodies immune to radiation, and they were given the Stars to live, the Grays were given originally the appearance of Cherubims, and most important than that, they were the only ones in the Universe given the possibility to feed with the most noble of the food, the gas tritium, placing them in the evolution hierarchy closest than any other species to the Angels.

This is why the betrayal of the Grays is so bitter to me, it is what more hurt my heart, I cannot look to a gray without feeling betrayed, except for the reduced branch of Grays that remained at mine and Lucifer´s side. They are Michael´s motor, the only reason by which Michael prospered.

From our favorites, the Grays become the army that took our legitimate power, and place it in the hands of the thief Michael. The Grays were the ones that performed fake miracles for Michael to impress the populations. The Grays were the ones that killed my direct sons, the original Kings, and all my heritage. The Grays were the ones that killed my daughters, the original Witches. The Grays were the ones that established for Michael a parallel spiritual power, apart form the administrative power, and pursued and tortured my direct lineages, the true celestial lineages, since the beginning of Michael´s betrayal.

What did the Grays got? Human meat. Michael promise to them fast progress by the ingestion of human meat.

So, the Grays of Michael, that once depend only of the Angels and of the noble gas tritium, now become slaves of Michael and depend of human meat to exist, being completely powerless at the hand of Michael that uses them mercilessly until they die of work. These Grays teared apart the spiritual power from the administrative power, giving even more room for excess of public expenses and corruption, because now there are two structures for this to happen. And the people, that should only be happy, develop the mind and technology and leave this things of “God” with the royal family, now is confused believing that they have the fake burden of contacting God directly. This will never happens, because the genetic of the paranormality is necessary, and this fake psychological burden takes the focus of what is important: create their own spaceships, power sources, feeding endless sources, and enjoying thrills of happiness with never ending new discoveries.

In my administration there in no fast progress, I don´t believe in this. Usually is only a waste of time, because the hurry guy must go back all the way in the future. Michael as everyone know is a great speaker, and a lawyer. He fascinated the Grays with the promise of fast progress. He told that the Grays should not depend of Eden to receive Tritium, that they could get their own food and become independent. All wonderful words. The Grays despised what we legitimate Angels in power gave to them. What did they got with Michael? Just look at them! That appearance and slavery is the price of their betrayal, and there is no much I can do to help! Although this fact, we still do what we can for them.

MICHAEL RUINED MY CHERUBIMS!!!! HE TURNED THEM INTO UGLY FEARCE MEET HUNTER DOGS!!!! HE TURNED MY FIRST HELPERS AGAINST ME!!!! I wish to cry when I see the Grays with this present appearance, that is the direct result of their ambition, their lack of trust in me and Lucifer, and they betrayal. Now they can just eat pieces of meat thrown to them under Michael´s chair, and obey without question, always near the starvation.

I spoke with a military General Gray few years ago. He asked me if I knew the purpose of life, because for the Grays the only purpose is to work. Of course there is a purpose, the purpose is to be happy. Of course he could not know this, because once the Grays were conceived to be free and noble members of my Principality and of the Realm of Eden, and now they become, and this is the only condition that the new generations know, they become slaves and dogs of Michael, of course that there is no purpose in slavery. That is why they just know work. When they are tired, they are drugged to work more by their own superiors, that are drugged to work even more by their superiors, that in the end are pressured by Michael to put them working until they die. And they are pride to live this way!

Me and Lucifer could save, with a lot of personal sacrifice of us both and our teams, few hundreds of Grays, that are presently called Yellow Grays, but the Cherubim genetic is lost. Michael´s technicians messed up so deeply in their genetic to adapt them to eat matter that presently they have so few traces of the original beauty that there is no way to go back. The few communities of Grays loyal to us are trying to go back, but the result is few and slow, and demand a degree of sacrifice of them almost unbearable. The new generations of Grays are only victims, they don´t know anything about this, and they buy the silly stories that Michael tells them with passion and high tones in the voice, as is his style of hypnotizing the audience.

Is said in legendary registers of the Grays that they went through a long period without receiving the cargo of tritium, and that they were forced to find an alternative. But at the same registers we can also find their hunger for fast progress, at any price, and, also, we know pretty well that Grays don´t die without food, they hibernate, so is hard to believe that they really went through a life or death situation. Hard to know what happened, because it was far before the episode of the planet Tri, far before the human kind of Gaia was even though of as a possibility by someone at Eden, and involved small colonies of humanoids that do not even exist anymore in this timeline.

However one thing I know, nobody ever starved in my Principality, except those who give themselves voluntarily to the exploitation of Michael, so I may speculate that, if really there was a long period without tritium, perhaps Michael stole the cargo directed to them, to force their choice, and probably he killed the Queen, King and all the heritage, so the Grays could not contact the Principality in time. But still this story is not very likely, first because I would know about the stolen cargo, and second because I can feel anyone from my lineages with serious problems even billions of Stars away, so probably Michael just corrupted few Grays to hide the Tritium, blame the Princess and Lucifer, and deceive the others. Yes. It may be so. Corruption is Michael´s style. That if we decide to believe that there was really a long period without Tritium. Another answer is that it was just mere ambition. Anyway a Gray leader back in the far past made the choice to join Michael and consequently to change their genetic to eat human meat, anyway, anyway, it has nothing to do with the new generations of Grays that are paying a bitter price for that choice.

Last week I received someone from Michael´s political party at my courtroom, and the guy said without any shame that I don´t fit to politics because I do not allow corruption, which is a necessary method to run politics. Imagine that! This guy is sitting at Eden´s Low Chamber! ( the equivalent to a parliament).

I wonder why I am writing all this truth and Michael is not moving. He has more power than me presently. I don´t like at all of this silence, I know that he will not drop the bone easily. I don´t know what is going on in my original dimension, but I must continue telling the real history of the cycle that we lived while away of Eden, before something happens, like for example the remote possibility of having the communications with Gaia forbidden again.

Now, many may ask why this happened this way, and maybe think that me and Lucifer are weak. I am not painting myself and Lucifer as victim, I am just telling the story as it was. Why we did not react? Because we never believed. And still now, is hard to believe. Michael is my youngest brother. Do you know, that baby little brother that a teenage girl hold in the arm? The most loved in all the Diamond family, the young baby boy over cared by all of us. God, my mother in the realm of formless, where Michael is also my brother, said me once that Michael became this way because we older sisters over protected him. Of course that our over care does not justify his cruel string, but even after all this cruel actions and betrayals is very hard to me not to see him as that lovely baby.

By another side, Michael was Lucifer´s best friend, “Lucius” then, near since the birth. As close cousins, they went to pre-school together, they stole together the girl´s underpants when they become teenagers ( metaphor…), they did everything together. This guy, who betrayed us to the last of the possibilities, this guy who turned my Principality upside down, hunted my descendants, took part of my legitimate power, spread corruption and famine among the populations that I love, only to assure his place in the top by fear and pressure, this guy, is our Michael. That baby! The brilliant child of the Diamond family that were even invited to conclude his studies in Satania, where most of us even dream to enter once in a lifetime ( I never entered)! We older sisters were so proud of him! We had so much hope in him! We dedicated so much love to Michael! How could me and Lucifer and our relatives of Eden ever believe that he was behind the falling apart of the Principality. It took ages for us to believe.

Beside, I have never been prepared for sabotage. We do not learn this things in the School for Princesses ( read Department of Philosophy of Eden).

In the planning, my Principality would be perfect. And it would really have been prefect, if was not for the betrayal of someone so close to us. Nobody is ever prepared for this level of betrayal from a younger baby brother and best friend, there is no way to prepare an essence to this situation. There is no way to deal with someone so close easily.

But Michael did not care about our familiar ties as we did. All that he wants is power, power, power. He does not care about the welfare and real expansion of the populations, he just makes nests of corrupts that go the the top and leave the rest of the populations behind. He distributes the resources in a bizarr way. He needs the famine and pain to maintain himself in power, because he is not the legitimate heir of this Principality and not of Eden.

Me and Lucifer become almost powerless without the Grays, for many dimensions, including the most rich and resourceful ( and wished) of all, the third dimension, because the Grays were our primary army. Of course we have the Angel´s army, but the Grays ( Cherubims) are the ones genetically suited to travel among the dimensions, this is their primary function, to be the bridge among the dimensions for the Angels. The Angels are not capable to touch the third dimension easily, we must do it through the few species that are capable to naturally migrate among the dimensions.

The Reptilians can migrate too, but the Reptilians have remained neutral. As it seems, they noticed what was going on before everyone else, including us. I don´t quite understand their position, but they are so few in number that maybe they really assumed the most safe position for themselves, besides, they are older than the rest of us in terms of inhabiting this Universe, so maybe they still know something about this war that we don´t know, and I guess that they will not tell. Our side don´t push someone against their wish, what makes to govern sometimes hard, but this is our principle, so we cannot force them to tell us what else they know.

Anyway, this is not finished yet, and there is a lot to happens along the next 100 years, because the end of the endurance period for the Alchemical Marriage is approaching. Things will heat up, and still is impossible to foresee the result.

The future will tell.

Enough for today.

I love you all, truly. If it was not for the love that I feel for you, I would just go back to travel freely, but I cannot let my beloved ones in the hands of my brother, this is why I am accepting this harsh fight. I don´t seek power, I like freedom more. However I love you so much, Universe and Eden, that I cannot allow myself to stay away from power, what would mean, to leave my beloved ones unprotected, at mercy of a policy that I don´t trust.

Talk to you tomorrow, Eden.

 MEMOIRS

(Abridged)                                                                                         

By K.K.Subramanian

Waterfriend remembers his childhood

           Kunnathur Mana

My mother was born in a very illustrious family Kunnathur Padinjaredath.You can see the ancestral house near the Peruvanam temple south gopuram (gate)

I have vague memories of sitting upstairs; looking at the road. I must be four at that time.

The family came there in search of livelihood and became the tantry (main priest-they still are) of the temple. I can imagine mother (kali was her name-a goddess) walking towards the temple, holding the hands of the maid servant, almost naked, with only a plantain leaf strip to cover nakedness, not knowing what fate awaited her…tears swell in my eyes, even as I write these lines

She was married off at the tender age of thirteen or so to Subrahmanian Nambudiripad, aged forty plus, already having two wives, one living and the next one and her son still fresh in memory, and a daughter of mother’s age whom her brother married the same day, probably. Mother was dark, uncouth and short; my step sister was fair, lean and very handsome whom mother hated heartily!

I do not remember any one caring for her,  except her younger sister and some cousins. Uncle (eldest) never talked to her or even to her children (in all six, two died early). She had a sharp tongue and was outspoken but had a heart of gold. She was very lazy and father was the laziest!

I digressed…

Around 150 years ago, mother’s ancestor was married to the sister of the king of erstwhile Cochin State who was known as Shaktan Thampuran. He bestowed on the Kunnathur family tax free land. The family became rich.

Maternal grandfather was very intelligent, so too was my uncle. At that time a rich local Nambudiri of Chittoor mana established a school, where we all studied, and uncle was the first student, duly initiated before a lighted lamp etc. Of course the student was without a shirt! I had a few classmates, topless, in primary school. Grandmother was wise, cultured and well versed in puranas (old legends of Hindu religion).When she got angry and shouted like a lioness, her husband shivered like a mouse! She did like my mother, always told me to look after her well but did nothing when she needed assistance. In fact no one accompanied her when she left the house built by father, and we were travelling in a country boat, through the swollen river. Being a fool, I enjoyed the trip!…

Earliest memories centre around a small village Thalore, near Trichur. I was about four. Mother had given birth to a dead baby and so she continued to feed me. I just came in from the spacious orchard where I was playing, lay down in my mother’s lap and started sucking her big breast. (In those days our women folk did not wear blouse.) “Ma, who put sugar in your milk?” -I asked. She just pushed me off and that was the end breast feeding !

I had a playmate Bhagi about eight years or so . She was attached to our maid servant Madhavi. I always thought she was her daughter.

 One day the girl was mopping the kitchen floor. I said something .She didn’t listen and I gave a blow on her back with an iron ladle. The poor girl cried out aloud inviting the attention of mother and paternal grand mother I felt guilty and wretched. Perhaps that was the only time I used violence against any living creature…..

With just a piece of cloth tied like lady’s bikini, I used to accompany Madhavi to the grocery shop owned by a Tamil Brahmin .He would give a piece of jaggery. We never got chocolates in those days.

Father and mother slept in the upstairs bed room. I slept with them. Mother used to tell stories. Elder brother used to sleep with grandmother. He was her favourite. Paternal uncle Krishnaphan was an occasional visitor. We loved him, as he was a good storyteller. About Lilliputs we heard from him. He was dark and fat unlike another p. uncle Vasudevaphan who was slim and fair, the first person to go to school from K.K. family. He was teacher and a close friend of E.M.S. Namboodiripad.

One day an old lady came, covered up to the neck in pure white dhoti (in north India only a widow will dress in white) Do you know her? –they asked. When I blinked, they all laughed . I felt ashamed. It was mother’s ma. As a girl, she was born and brought up in the same house where we were staying temporarily-the great Veembur Kadalayil Mana (which was lying vacant at the time. Mahatma Gandhi visited the house in 1929). Father who was a good architect and astrologer was making our house near the river, about four miles away. One day brother and I accompanied him to see the construction work. My legs were paining like hell. I earned the reputation of having walked four miles when four years old.    

 At that time , another paternal uncle, Parameswaran by name, took me with him to fort Tripunithura where royal family members lived. By custom, only a nambudiri may marry a princess. And, in a nambudiri family only the eldest can marry; others may have legitimate relationship with women of other upper castes, the latter not entitled for a share of nambudiri property. They are not allowed to share meals with us.(My grandfather’s younger brother’s daughter was my schoolmate .I never knew about the blood relationship, though I somehow liked her. Of course I was too shy to talk to her! )

That is how uncle married a real princess and lived in Palace no.11. I was too small to notice the clean bed, the sumptuous food (at home we had it only on birthdays or during Onam) The great festival was going on at the Poornathrayeesha (Krishna) temple and there were any number of elephants (I wanted to become a mahout-I am never tired of watching these majestic animals)

An elephant was being fed. Uncle asked me-do you want to mount it . I shook my head. The mahout lifted me and handed over to his colleague sitting on the elephant. He placed me on its neck. I felt uncomfortable, its hair pricking my naked bottom and I being lifted up and down by the motion of its head while eating; still I enjoyed it .

One day we were taken to Akavoormana near river Periyar. We enjoyed playing in the shallow swift flowing water. I lay down in the water and was carried away some distance. Flapping my arms I managed to remain floating. Thus I learnt the rudiments of swimming. I do not know how to swim really. Like cattle only my head remains above water.

There were two young elephants there. As a baby Ramankutty used to roam about in the house and snatch things from the kitchen. Even now I like to have a baby elephant ….

Vasudevan uncle (the youngest among five brothers, father being the eldest) was working as teacher in Namboori Vidyalaya at Trichur. I would look with admiration  the fat books in his shelf. One day when I grow up I shall read them!

Savithri was born. I refused to see the baby. I wanted a brother. This dislike of girls remained for a long time to come.

When Vas uncle brought a wife I was too shy to meet her. Afterwards the words “cheriamme “automatically escaped from my mouth and all exclaimed “today it will rain” 

   Recently, during morning walk I reached the church and, turning right, easily located the arch, proclaiming entry towards the Shiv temple. I went through it and turned right. A little further, I had hardly turned left when I could easily spot the old gate as it was in 1937! It was something like a flashback in TV screen! The front yard was very small. (in my mind it was very big.)The main building was intact, though concretised. I saw mother’s bedroom upstairs where I slept. Through the left side I traced a few steps and saw the workplace where women husked rice .It was locked. I could easily see the rope swing and Bhagi and I playing there. The reddish brown cow must be somewhere nearby. Bhagi showed me how to pick silky smooth, egg shaped thing (she called it pattunni) from the cow’s skin. She would place it on a stone and crush it with another stone spilling blood. Ma must be in the kitchen. The great surprise was when I turned to the east courtyard and looked to the flight of steps leading to the orchard. I was expecting at least thirty steps. I could count hardly four! To the child everything appears on a mega screen. To the grown up, it is all on TV screen. The surroundings had been cut into plots and sold. There are flats now. But the main structure is unoccupied till now.

Originally, it belonged to Moothedath Kadalayil which was merged with Veembur Kadalayil. On shifting to Pazhai, the house was sold to Akavoor Mana, my paternal grand mother’s maiden house (illam). We were just living there. The Akavoor namboodiri even suggested,” sister, why don’t you live here, why build a new house?” But father wanted to be near our village.

~ “Fucking Courts!” ~

–  Moi ^_^

Yes, I still say that whenever too many court cards appear within a reading. Especially whenever I’m just doing a simple no-frills 3 card reading, and two (and sometimes all three of them) are court cards. Earlier, I used to think it’s only me who had trouble reading court cards, but it turns out, virtually everyone I’ve come across (seasoned professionals, novices, and even Tarot Authors) have issues with the courts. So trust, me, you’re not alone in your frustration regarding interpreting court cards. However, if you say you don’t need any help regarding court cards and that they’re a breeze to read through, then you’re either the great grand master of all things Tarot and should have a shrine built in your honor… or, you’re just a cocky liar, so get off your high horse already

Why are the courts so F*d up?

The answer to that comes from how Tarot evolved. You see, earlier on, when virtually every deck was a TDM (Tarot De Marseilles) or a TDM clone, the courts were all of a set role – King, Queen, Knight, and Page. Very simple, very feudalistic. Kings were all matured/married men (though so many married men I’ve come across are anything but mature), Queens were mature/married women (ditto), Knights were single unmarried men (read horny pigs that shag everything that moves – oh don’t gimme that look, where else do you think the whole ‘Knight in shining armor’ fantasy came from), and Pages were either children or young unmarried women (goes to show the pittiful state of a young single girl back in the day. Come to think of it, such a mindset is still followed in many cultures of the world, but let’s get back to the subject). Everything was fine and dandy, as psychology wasn’t yet created, and minors were all unillustrated pips (yes, I know there are exceptions, but work with me here) so courts totally were used to represent people (‘I see a tall dark stranger in your future’).

Then in the 19th century, The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn came into the picture and began messing around with our limited feudalistic courts. By stuffing all their esoterica (that has oft been criticized to begin with) into the Tarot, they began assigning elements to not only the suits of the minors, but also to the ranks of the courts. Queens were water and Pages were earth (trust a bunch of stuffy old men to call earth a ’step-element’ and assign it to a Page – as an earth sign, I take offense to the degradation of my element). The Knight on his fancy horse was fire (read testostrone fueled) and the Kings were assigned air for their logic and reasoning skills (as if!).

However, while this was assigned, some dude in a tacky traditional robe (yeah, str8 men have no concept of fabric and design) must have gone all, “Hey, shouldn’t fire get a ‘higher’ rank? After all, fire is the primary consort of water, and thus it would be more fitting if the Queens consort was fire instead of air.” And so all the GD honchos decided to ‘promote’ the Knight to King (they actually penciled it in on their existing decks), while the King got ‘demoted’ to Prince or Son. The Queens remained queens, and to create a more balance in the genders, renamed the Pages, Princess or Daughter (woo-hoo, a step in the right direction for women’s lib!).

Not everyone was happy with this. Arthur Edward Waite (who shall now be referred to as Uncle Art for short) and Aleister Crowley (Uncle Al), who went on to create their respective Tarot decks that laid the foundation for the evolution of modern Tarot, had their own take on the courts.

Uncle Art was a stuffy old soul (have you ever read his works? Snoozefest!) and decided to go with the Traditional style of the TDM Courts, and thus reinstating the King and the Knight back in their respective positions, and stripping away the Page off his Princess title.

Uncle Al was a… well, a ‘colorful’ character, and decided to take the GD court model a step further by retaining the Knights original title, and making him the highest station and demoted the King to Prince.

(Dysfunctional) Family Dynamics

In the TDM and RWS (Rider Waite Smith – A Tarot Deck created by Uncle Art and Pamela ‘Pixie’ Coleman Smith) decks,  the court ranks are based on the royal households of Europe’s feudal period. The King was the absolute ruler of his domain, which he inherited from his father. His consort was his Queen, who most likely married the dude for political and societal reasons.  The Knight is either the king’s military commander or an ambitious young vassal. He  could even be the royal heir to the throne and thus proving his prowess through tournaments and battles (and sowing his wild oats into all the young maidens). The Page was either their household servant or foster child, that lived with them and attended their needs (developing a major Cinderella complex while cleaning their ‘royal thrones’ every morning).

In the Thoth Tarot (Uncle Al’s deck which he created with Lady Freida Harris), the Knight and Queen were the primary couple with two children, the Prince and the Princess. Crowley’s family model was part based on pre-christian pagan cultures, and part based on fairytales – Once upon a time, a long long time ago, the world was kinda messed up. Since communities were so far off and isolated, people would end up shagging sheep and/or their cousins to get their kicks. As we all know, children born out of incest and inbreeding just tend to be anything but normal, and when too many of such kind are born, the kingdoms would just dwindle on virtually all levels. The Royal Family was treated like divinity, mainly cause inbreeding never occured, and thus they remained all the more healthier, vigorous, and ‘potent’ than their royal subjects. Thus their vitality were directly linked to the land and their community.

The King was a wise and powerful ruler. However, age caught up on him, and he became infertile. Trying to remain youthful, he still tried to do all sorts of crazy things to prove he was still ‘da man’. In the process of doing so, he ended up throwing out his back, causing him to remain bedridden and unable to really get it up (this is what happens when you decide to pump iron instead of opt for yoga and tai chi). This lead to the land drying up and eventually becoming a wasteland. Upon seeing this happen, big scary monsters began terrorizing the people, as the knew the King was powerless to do anything.

The Queen would sigh and cry, “Oh why is this happening to us? Why oh why oh why?” and she would beg and pray for someone to come along and rescue them. And hopefully be cute enough to marry their daughter who just sits all day in her room singing aimlessly about being ‘awoken’. (Taylor Swift anyone?)

Then one day, a strong handsome and very virile Knight was galloping along, till he heard the most beautiful voice in the world. So captivated by the siren call, that he changed course and began galloping towards the voice. Upon reaching the kingdom, he realized that the voice was coming from the Princesses chambers, and upon gazing at her, he fell in love with her at first sight. But as soon as he saw the state of the land, and the fact that a ravaging monster was breathing fire and stomping around innocent inbred peasants, he boldly went on to slay the beast and save the kingdom. For his courage and strength, he was given the hand of the princess to marry. The Old King and Queen gave up their throne and took to the fancy old folks home in the pre-christian Boca Raton, while the princess went onto becoming the new Queen, with the Knight as her consort. They got it on like a pair of wild monkeys, and gave birth to two children, the Prince and the Princess, and the land was again fertile and abundant. The Prince would eventually be set out to follow daddy’s footsteps to rescue another land in turmoil and rescue it, while the Princess would be groomed to become the future Queen.

And they lived happily ever after.

Oy! And I thought my family was messed up.

That’s all well and nice, but how do I read the effin’ courts?

Well, that’s the tricky part. You see, due to the differences between the RWS, GD, and Thoth systems of court cards, we’re all left confused with the question ‘which one do we follow?’ One way of going about it is to read solely with either a TDM, RWS, or Thoth deck and stick with that system and see how it works for you. That’s all fine and dandy till the point you’re viewing the courts as just ‘people’. However, as Tarot has evolved, we have discovered that beyond mere prediction, Tarot can also be used as a therapeutic tool, enabling us to get a deeper and more profound insight into ourselves and the world around us (and even the universe), and thus, we have come to discover that Court Cards, along with representing other people in our lives, also represent different parts of ourselves. Our appearance can fit in with one card, while our emotional side could fit better with another. Hell, even the way we communicate, make love, achieve a goal, and the various stages of our own lives, can be represented by different court cards. And if that didn’t make matters more complicated, Court Cards can also represent situation (yes, situations) in our lives, where either we have to behave like the court-persona, or the situation itself is a manifestation of that particular court card.

And to make matters worse, different decks offer different perspectives on the courts. Some of them even try to combine the TDM/RWS style with the Thoth systems! And while the GD/Thoth systems have a long list of various esoteric correspondences assigned to each court card, they some how don’t totally fit in well with the TDM/RWS courts, thus sparking public (and private) debate on how to merge the two systems, as well as, how to apply them universally, so that no matter what deck we read with, it all applies therein. And don’t get me started on how all the therapeutic psychological correspondences have been assigned to each court card, that’s a whole different can of worms altogether.

I’ve tried my best to create a set of keywords for the ranks of the courts, so as to share with you my own personal system of handling the courts, as well as, offer another perspective on the Tarot Courts. I am not saying this is the absolute right way! Nor am I saying that I stand by this completely. I’m a human being, I evolve with the times, and always keep an open mind for new theories and practices. For now, this is what works for me, and this is what helps me interpret the damned courts at the end of the day. If it helps you, fabulous! If it confuses you, I sincerely apologize, and if you disagree with my assignations, please feel free to share your thoughts.

But before we get to those, let’s take a brief look at how we can interpret court cards within a reading:-

• A person in our life, identified by their physical attributes, profession, role, or even personality type and astrological sign.
• An aspect of our own personality, style, attitude, or role we play.
• A relationship we have with people within our life.
• A spiritual influence at work in our lives.
• Events and situations (past, present, and future).
• Times or seasons of the year.
• Qualities we need to cultivate within ourselves.

How do we know when to interpret a court as one of the above? Well, the answer is simple in theory but complex in application, and I’m sorry, but I’m not able to provide a better answer at this moment – Trust your intuition and go with it.

And with that, I present to you the Keywords for the various ranks of the Tarot Court

PS: I wrote this post in the spirit of humor and promoting understanding. I do not wish to offend anyone at all with anything that is written here. There are far too many ’scholarly’ works upon the Tarot Courts that provide way more in-depth info than I have, and though not all of it would match entirely what I’ve posted here, please understand that this is my understanding of the courts, and how I work with them, and how they seem to work with me.

A dash of gold in a blanket of silvery sheen reminds me of twinkling Christmas lights in a snowy city. Sadly, our summery island has no snowflakes teasing our faces as we saunter down the streets, buying gifts for our loved ones and meeting long-time friends for that warm cuppa tea and coffee. But movies kept that image alive within me and one day, I hope to spend Christmas in a place where there is snow. And for all you lovelies out there in the falling snow, keep warm and take care. I sure hope it’s not so wintry that it hurts.

These creations mix gold and silver color, and the results can be pretty amazing. Some allow you to jumble girlish charm with boyish chic, spruce up that midnight party glamor with simple allure, or even return to the simplicity of everyday life, noticing things that you have not. What’s life without taking a moment to appreciate life’s little wonders and small gestures of kindness, right?

As I mentioned earlier, the selection of the talented young to be sent to the race of the Alchemical Marriage ( with these young having just a confuse idea of what is going on), plus the score of their performance is done primarily by the android computer system that runs our civilization. At the end, when there are few candidates remaining the High Council and the Supreme High Council will watch the candidates closely, but until there all will be run by the system.

The counting of scores is done by two parameters: specific weight and final result of credits and debits.

The specific weight is the quantity of matter that the sonic control of each individual needs to aggregate, to become operational in material environments. I will speak about the sonic control later. The quantity of matter that the sonic control needs to operate is given by the ability of the mind to set up the adjustments of the sonic control. The mind has as tools for adjusting the sonic control the 7 virtues and the 7 sins.

The counting of credits and debits is the direct result of the actions of these candidates over the material world, mainly over the lives of others. It is called carbon credits, and it makes a temporary second layer of matter over the sonic control. While the first layer of matter is permanent and necessary, this second layer can be used as money for those who are capable to negotiate in the 4th dimension. On other hand, a layer of debit can be a sign for third parties to enslave the individual into an unpleasant situation, but this is another issue.

While the Angel is in the material world, only technicians of the Graal could perhaps analyze separately these two parameters. In general, the Angel as a whole is weighted and the result is called generically as specif weight. I am not going to speak about the parameters for humans at this text, these are for Angels and Fallen Angels. For humans the counting of “elevation” has more parameters, like for example the matching of the behavior with the initial purpose given by the Graal, among others, and this is not our issue, we are still talking about the Alchemical Marriage of the Angels.

Let´s talk again about me and Michael. I am in the top of the race because my specific weight is lighter. Nobody can hack this measure in the system, it is material weight, anyone can calibrate our equipments to be precise anytime, there is no way to deceive because this parameter is so absurdly basic.

So, last year of Gaia ( 2008), the technicians of the Graal took mine and Lucifer´s weight and raised us to the top of the score.

Many Angels of Eden were very confused and frustrated, because they have always been supporting Michael´s political party.

They did not know our position in the race, because the communications between Eden and Gaia, for the public ( at Eden) , were forbidden since 20.000 years ago and were restored fully only last year. Before there was only diplomatic communication, and limited communication with few departments.

Most of Eden were at Michael´s side, so they were very angry with our raising in the score, and because of their loyalty many Angels connected with us personally ( means like made a multidimensional phone call), to blame us and to find out and expose what they thought that was a failure of the system.

They blamed and blamed…until they approached us and took a look around, and found something very different of what they expected. The guys that came to talk to us did see and feel that something was wrong, not with us, Fallen Angels, or with the system, but with the story that was told to them during the time that the communications with us were cut.

They could see with their own eyes that mine and Lucifer´s behavior did match with the specific weight that the equipments were showing, and then come the question, why harm and defamation had been done against us all this time? The answer was clear, we just could be hiding something!

That is what crossed their minds, I know, but I am not the one to answer it. Each Angel must find his own answer, because as opposite to my brother, we don´t need to manipulate the minds. I am Veronica, the bearer of the truth ( vero). My bridegroom is Lucifer, the bearer of the light. When the light approaches the truth, there is no need for explanations, all is clear to all, it is then just a choice of each essence to open or not to open their eyes to see the truth that the light shows.

But as I bear the truth I can tell why our specif weight is lighter. Is because we don´t have guilt. Not even the guilt that could possibly come from postponing, because we have been always very active to spread our beliefs.

Michael´s political party has the guilt of oppressing and torturing the feminine essence in all the known time and space, plus at Eden. The Angels of this political party gave themselves in holocaust many times, however this action, although fair, just settle the parameter of credits and debits, leaving them even with the accountants, however, there is the other parameter for the specific weight, as I said, that is the adjustments that the mind does to operate the sonic control.

Me, Lucifer, and all the Rebels can adjust the sonic control to work very lightly, because we don´t have any intention of pushing anyone, like Michael´s people push the feminine essence against their real will and purposes. If one are not going to pressure another, there is no need of weight.

Easy to understand? Not to respect the other essences is a hell of a heavy weight. One must became weighter than the other to push this other.

Of course, we are capable of momentarily overweight ourselves, so to rescue someone. We, as daemons, as they call us, are masters about sins and virtues. We can wear or take a sin from our sonic control at our will, as well as any virtue. They are tools at our tool belt. We are not addicted to, and we don´t fear any sin or virtue, but we don´t discard them, that would be silly, they exist and are very useful, and we know how to do it.

I personally love my anger and hate tools, they take me down to hell to see wonderful things at the speed of light. I love to watch the dense feelings of the hell, specially the damn dense sick loyalty that exist only there, that sometimes bring me tears. The feelings of the hell are so beautiful that I built a castle for myself in there, so to watch them better. The same way I can use virtue tools to rush to heaven, anyway these are tools for us Fallen Angels.

Speaking about rescue, makes me remind that we used the same tools to rescue Miguel and Matael. Of course, this was our duty as we run the Principality and the Embassy. Lucifer Ab Havona and even the Lucifer Gawry Eil came to that event. I wondered for long time the real reason why Miguel and Matael were locked there at the center of the Elemental Control of Gaia, and I wondered even more why they rushed to Michael ( to assume Nebadon) as fast as they left the hospital of the Embassy. We all have been one time or another locked there at the Elemental Control, but still I wondered about that event for a time, because it was kind of shocking.

Easy to understand now. I love Miguel and Matael, cousins of my love Lucifer, but now I know that besides Michael live the brute souls who enslave the feminine essence. What Miguel and Matael did to their brides is unspeakable. I know that their brides will hate me for saying this in public, because the feminine loyalty of Angels is almost eternal, but I must say even if they come to hate me, because Eden must know what was really going on in Gaia while they believed in Fairy Tales sitting in their wonderful homes at Angelsland.

Miguel and Matael did not treat their brides as equals, what would be a great concession because the girls are better. They treated them as cargo and as burden, they did not respect their brides will and need for expansion, and did not respect the love that they received from the brave Ruby girls. They just froze the two girls alive in a coffin for thousands of years. Repeating: froze Isis and Osiris alive in a coffin for thousands of years. Only because the boys were incapable to win them in the argument. Of course, of course, of course that Miguel and Matael would join Michael as soon as they were free, to assume the top positions at Michael´s side. And of course that they will never have the same specific weight of Lucifer, that is the standard of the freedom and respect to the will of the essences.

Who is going to become your next governors, Eden? What do you want for yourselves?

Isis and Osiris, I understand the love that you feel, I wish you the best luck, and I wish that you manage to find a way not to be frozen along the eternity every time that you disagree with your husbands. However, if you ever think twice about this marriage, there are wonderful Ruby guys among the Rebels, that will ever respect you and the magnificent beings that you are. I am not joking. In case you don´t remember in Eden there is no police and everything is allowed, if they decide to freeze you and put you at the center of the room as an ornament nobody will infertere, until you decide to sue them yourselves ( what you cannot do frozen), or until you become so sad that you decide to go back to the formless realm. Those who do not value loyalty do not deserve it. Nobody deserve this level of sacrifice without real need for it to happens ( like for example a son in danger). Nobody need to have this kind of life. You are our cousins, you are welcome here anytime.

About Miguel and Matael, I reinforce that I love you, we were part of the same fleet as pilots, we know each other since schoo time, and I intend to continue cooperating with you, but I don´t share your point of view, and is time to bring light to the happenings of the cycle that we lived in Gaia.

Gabriel, on the other side, dedicates all his energy to find his bride, still unidentified and perhaps living as human ( hey, Gabriel´s bride, are you awake?).  Of course he would remain beside those who understand this feeling and that have been through the same search. While human he was a wonderful and respectful husband. We all at Havona share his wish to find her, and this shows which side this fortunate couple belongs, were they can live their love without restrictions.

This was my communication of today to Eden, I hope this was useful.

I truly love you all, otherwise I would not speak, because this is painful for me.

Princess Veronica Ab Thule

We spent yesterday decking our halls with balls of Star Wars, Disney Princesses, Hello Kitty and candy canes. My kids had a blast, and we enjoyed watching them.

Our Christmas tree looks like a child’s active imagination exploded with delight. There is no organization, no breakables, no no-nos and no priceless keepsakes. It is just covered with random kidness.

And I love it.

A string of Yoda lights is circled around itself on one corner of the tree, and snowflakes are taped on the walls  throughout the house. Personalized stockings are hung from the mantel, and we have a huge blowup carousel in our front yard.

It is a truly a winter wonderland around here… other than the fact that it should be 70 degrees today.

My youngest was so excited this morning that he wanted to start our day at 4:45. I successfully put him off till 5:20, but that was still a bit early for my taste. I was rewarded well for my submission though as I got to hold him, rock him, and love on him for a full 90 minutes before his siblings came bouncing down the stairs. Though exhausted, I know such opportunities do not show themselves very often. I need to take advantage of them.

Christmas is a special time of year, and I am loving it. The smiles, the giggles, the laughter and the constant manipulation of “Santa can see you!” and “Are you sure that would make Santa happy?”

Ahhh… gotta love it.

What we really need is a mid-summer Santa-type creature as well. I’d pay good money to bottle up the joy and fun of this season (and, yes, the manipulation as well).

Oh well, better just take what I can get.

I’m the sort of person that needs physical affection. I need hugs. I need kisses. I need the gentle rest of your hand on my leg. I need a gentle pat on the shoulder. It makes me feel wanted, needed and comforted. Now in my marriage as I have spoken about before I dont get that. If i want a hug, I actually have to ask for it and then its given witha big sigh. I am also then made to feel bad for asking for a hug. The same applies to kisses. Besides the obligatory kisses when leaving home or getting home, a kiss any other time must mean that I want something. The same can be said for all other things related to physical affection – I can count on one hand the amount of times we have been intimate in the last 6 months, and any time I suggest it or try introduce it I get told i’m disgusting and its all I want. As i’m sure you can imagine this starts getting to you and after a while I actually started believing a was disgusting and that why would any woman actually be turned on by me. I still have a serious complex about people not liking me and desperately seek the approval of other people (even though I wont admit it). I am sure this comes back to being broken down constantly by the person who is supposed to be building you up.

So then, I suppose, this conversation will lead onto do I think I will remain married and the answer is a plain and simple no. I dont believe I will remain married because if I had to hang around I would eventually be broken down completely. So why don’t I leave? I don’t leave because I wont be able to see my daughter every day. I wont be able to see her smile every day when I get home. I wont be able to sing songs with her after bath time. I wont be able to get morning hugs and goodbye kisses because I would only see her once or twice a week and that would actually ruin my life at this stage. I think my wife and I would split amicably and I would continue to fund her current lifestyle and I would never ever ever stop supporting both of them, I just could not handle not seeing my daughter every day.

I decided that I was going take a personal morning (Thanks for the idea Princess), and spent the morning getting a hair cut, massage and then some people watching at a coffee shop. It was so nice to think about me for once, and no matter how self absorbed it may sound, It was fucking fantastic and I will never ever judge anyone who takes days/mornings/hours for themselves and neither should you. I tried desperately hard to convince The Princess to join me for a coffee, but she is very apprehensive. She feels that because of how I feel for her, everything will change for me when we meet. I thought long and hard about it and have come to the conclusion that nothing will change. What can possibly change from my point of view? She is the one that makes me happy and why would I not want to meet the person who inspires me, who (apart from my daughter) makes my day worth doing. I could not be more infatuated by her and I am starting to wonder if she doesn’t want to meet me because she is worried that it becomes real for her, that she might have some feelings for me and doesn’t want to be the scarlet woman who breaks up my marriage. Well princess if you are reading this, I want to meet you – I want to look into your gorgeous eyes, I want to hang on your every word and I want to be able to talk to you without the delay of messages. I want to hear your voice and see you laugh. I want to see you frown and I want to see if you have dimples when you laugh. Please Princess, consider my offer, I wont try anything funny. I wont make you uncomfortable. I wont make a scene. I wont embarrass you. I wont cause any trouble for you. I just want to meet you. Please. Please.

If you have read the story of Cinderella, then you know that ball gowns are critical to every fairytale fantasy. This is just one of the indications that choosing the right attire for a special occasion is an important task indeed. You’ll surely find a gown for a ball that’s just perfect for your shape or size. You should not try to be trendy or hip when selecting one because a gown should to reflect the most feminine part of your personality. Ball gowns have the classic large bell shaped bottom, but the bodices can vary widely.

There are some things that you should consider when choosing a gown for a ball. Maybe you want to create an impression of wealth and elegance through your gown. The material is the first thing you want to pay attention to if you want the elegant well-to-do look. Some designers create gowns that have lace bodices with skirts of other materials while some have the entire gown of the same fabric.

The truly classical ball gowns are made of satin, and impart a sense of wealth and grace. Materials that do not occur in nature can provide a modern twist to the gown. For instance, metallic materials constructed from silk thread over polyester will shimmer in all lights. If your gown is rich in fabric, then cotton won’t do at all. You should choose translucent or shiny materials if there are many curves and dips in the material of the skirt.

The next issue that should be addressed is the cut of the gown. The cut you choose depends on whether you’re going for a classical look or a modern one. The classical look is best suited to those with prominent curves and well defined figures. Classical ball gowns are usually off-the-shoulder, have cap sleeves, and have an accompanying sash or shoulder wrap. These gowns usually are laced or buttoned, not zipped.

Classical ball gowns usually have a matching bodice and skirt. The waist is also slightly cinched, with the hooks concealed in the back. The bust line is decorated with folds of material that match the shoulder sash. The bodice should have some kind of embellishment, like embroidery or an embossed print.

The modern styled ball gowns may be the best pick for you if you are a thin or petite woman. There are modern styles that have a tank top with spaghetti straps and zipper in the back. This style can detract the appearance of a fuller woman but is flattering to very thin or petite women. Modern ball gowns usually have lace tops which contrasts with the smooth material of the bell shaped bottom. Although faux fur sashes are sometimes used, these styles usually aren’t accompanied by shoulder sashes.
