Almost a Productive Day
Saturday November 30, 2002
I spent the day today on the computer. Tom and I explored the Hubble Telescope images looking for a good background for business cards for my Astrology business. We tried several images with text and I settled on Pleiades Reflection or something like that:) It is a picture of a dust cloud being drawn towards the Merope star in the Pleiades cluster. I see a woman dancing with a strange partner, perhaps death. The rays apparently coming from the star are actually camera effects and so an illusion. I like the juxtaposition of reality (dust cloud) and illusion (star aura), and that in a sense the illusion is real. Light really does look like that through the camera - it just isn't how it looks around the star.
Then on the SpiritWeavers email list the following link was posted. So I went and filled out the 4-page test to discover that my inner dragon is:
I am a Silver Dragon! I took the online Inner Dragon quiz and found out I am a Silver Dragon on the inside. "In the war between good and evil, Silver Dragons take the side of the noble and good.... When it comes to the powers of Chaos vs. those of Law and Order, your inner dragon is a risk taker and answers to no one.... As far as magical tendencies, Magical spells come as natural to the Silver Dragon as breath from its body.... During combat situations, a true Silver Dragon prefers to defeat opponents by the use of spells and other tactics.... Constantly searching for knowledge, Silver Dragons can be highly unpredictable. Mortals generally have nothing to fear from a silver, but if they seek to harm dragons or the young of any species, silvers quickly prove their reputation as fighters. A Silver Dragon's time manipulation skills are unsurpassed and they are extremely skilled fighters as well. The participation of Silver Dragons is often a key role in deciding major conflicts. They are covered in silver-colored scales, as their name suggests, but they are not mirror-like (more of a softer silver). They can change size at will, from the size of a small dog to huge. They go on all fours and can move fairly fast on land although they prefer to fly, often buzzing other dragons as a joke. Silver dragons tend to be solitary while they are young, roaming and learning the ropes, and acquire a partner later in life. This partner doesn't have to be another silver or even another dragon, but immortality is a must (silvers don't prescribe to the disposable mortal theory). A silver generally has no concept of territory or possession. They prefer to roam and occasionally settle down in a comfortable cave for a fifty-year nap. This Dragon's favorite elements are: Neutrality, Time, and Power."
Then I went on to take the 7 question Wizard's test at the same site and am a:
Sorceress. "In the war between good and evil, Sorceresses take the side of the noble and good. I am gifted with the elemental plane of Air. A Sorceress creates magic the way a poet creates poems, with inborn talent honed by practice. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Some Sorceresses claim that the blood of dragons courses through their veins. It may even be true -- it is common knowledge that certain powerful dragons can take humanoid form and even have humanoid lovers, and it's difficult to prove that a given Sorceress does not have a dragon ancestor. A Sorceress often has striking good looks, usually with a touch of the exotic that hints at an unusual heritage. Still, the claim that a Sorceress is partially draconic is either an unsubstantiated boast on the part of a certain Sorceress or envious gossip on the part of those who lack the Sorceress's gift. Your powers are highly attuned to the elemental plane of air. Storms and the powers of the winds come at your beck and call. Sometimes a magic user tuned to the elemental plane of air has the power to fly at will, and infuse his living body with the powers of his element. Often mages of air will build their strongholds or magical dwellings in high places such as mountaintops or flying citadels high above the earth where they can be close to their element. Some of the more powerful spells in your arsenal include Lightning Bolt, Desert Twister, and Divine Wind."
