"As a queer, trans, disabled person who goes by they/them, I'm this SJW snowflake. I don’t want to sit down with cops. The Christian right is making strange bedfellows right now."
Said Dakota Bracciale, the owner of Catland, quoted in "Inside the Brooklyn Witches’ Antifa Hex on Kavanaugh/Despite protests, the Brooklyn antifa witches’ hex on Brett Kavanaugh went on. Both vengeful hate and intense love filled the event" (The Daily Beast).Bracciale — "who goes by they/them" but calls themself "I" — made "strange bedfellows" with the police to arrange for security during Catland's planned event purporting to call violence down upon Brett Kavanaugh.
Catland is a Brooklyn shop that sells "spiritual literature, healing crystals, tarot cards, burnable incense, and other occult accoutrements."
Occult — from "classical Latin occultus secret, hidden from the understanding, hidden, concealed, past participle of occulere to cover up, hide, conceal" (OED) — means "Of or relating to magic, alchemy, astrology, theosophy, or other practical arts held to involve agencies of a secret or mysterious nature; of the nature of such an art; dealing with or versed in such matters; magical." Historical example:
1711 Ld. Shaftesbury Characteristicks III. Misc. ii. i. 53 From this Parent-Country of occult Sciences..he was presum'd..to have learnt..judicial Astrology.Judicial Astrology!
Anyway, this Catland shop has done a fine job of getting publicity. And the Christians who protested did the hard work of making this stupid story viral.
But I want to talk about Judicial Astrology. Is it anything that our curs ed Supreme Court might do? Wikipedia — I love Wikipedia!! — has an article, "Judicial Astrology"!
The term "judicial astrology" was mainly used in the Middle Ages and early Renaissance to mean the types of astrology that were considered to be heretical by the Catholic church, distinguished from the "natural astrology" such as medical astrology and meteorological astrology, which were seen as acceptable because they were a part of the natural sciences of the time....The OED has a definition for "judicial astrology": "The supposed art of foretelling or counselling in human affairs by interpretation of the motions of the planets and stars; star divination, astromancy."
1728 E. Chambers Cycl. at Astrology Judiciary, or Judicial Astrology, which is what we commonly call Astrology, is that which pretends to foretell moral Events, i. e. such as have a Dependance on the Will and Agency of Man; as if that were directed by the Stars."Judicial astrology" is about is looking — for news of the future — to the stars. And when you're a star, they let you do it. But don't. The word from the Bible is: "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
AND: I must tell you that "strange bedfellows" comes from Shakespeare:
Thus Article "As a queer, trans, disabled person who goes by they/them, I'm this SJW snowflake. I don’t want to sit down with cops. The Christian right is making strange bedfellows right now."
That's an article "As a queer, trans, disabled person who goes by they/them, I'm this SJW snowflake. I don’t want to sit down with cops. The Christian right is making strange bedfellows right now." This time, hopefully can give benefits to all of you. well, see you in posting other articles.
