    That is significant to me since Rat is a SSOSOSS (species someone
    of other species of significant sign) to me, so is a minor deity to me.
    I received a sign from Rat early in the Year of the Rat in 1996
    as described on https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/rat.html . In
    case you donrCOt want to click on that, here is the relevant paragraph:

    "Early in the Chinese year, in the Year of the Rat, when I, my sister Anne >>> and her two daughters were travelling west from St. John's to Lakeview
    along the Conception Bay Highway, a large rat raced Olympic fashion
    rapidly to the edge of the road and made a flying leap to hit our car. We >>> backed up to find it was dead and I dragged it off the road, and later
    thought that it had committed self-sacrifice and would be reincarnated i >>> n higher form after hitting the `car of ma.rCO rCL

    Anyway, I plan to next try a mystic attempt beginning in the early
    evening of April 4 and leading up to Easter Sunday morning,
    and will report progress on alt.religion.druid .

    April 4, 2026. To get UTC/GMT add 2.5 hours.
    (World Rat Day/International Firewalk Day/Holy Saturday)

    FULL RESET, with no changes required up front.

    I requested Goddess to begin a new mystic activation sequence at 5:40 p.m.

    April 5, 2026 (Easter Sunday/a significant birthday in my family/First Contact
    Day/Geologists Day/Go for Broke Day/International Day of Conscience)

    The attempt was complete at 2:55 a.m.

    I donrCOt know if it will take some time for some effects to propagate.

    Please follow up if you notice effects.


    How's the kitty now?

    Yesterday (Monday) he was under the weather but he has
    rebounded some today (Tuesday).

    Too stupid
    Rats donrCOt need to commit suicide to make a point

    Just give them a paintbrush

    https://www.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/s/lnTo7NjSaI




    I didnrCOt mean infallible, so much as I meant mortal Demi-gods whose every spoken word and opinion is religious magic.

    Btw, there was not a single person today who did NOT turn to me and ask
    "What did the rat say? What did they mean? What's going on?"

    So when someone tells you to ask your mother what is going on, you can tell her that you will ask your mother what's going on when you want to know
    what her chickens ate today.


    The rat likely doesn't give a damn!

    For some reason I didnrCOt see marikarCOs posts until
    Kitten quoted them. But I donrCOt have marika in
    my killfile since I deleted all my killfile filters
    a while ago.

    Kitten, Sam cat is doing much better lately with the
    onset of spring (though we are supposed to get more
    snow from tomorrow afternoon to Saturday morning).
    So I think he will survive to the fall at least.
