Dear Friend and Reader,
Before I get into what this aspect is all about, I’m going to give you a chance to read this article I found while scouring the net for interesting news. Here it is, an article about a vicar who was a little too pro-sex for her congregation. In case you didn’t know (I didn’t) a vicar is a person who acts as the priest of a parish when there is no rector. ‘Vicar’ is also another way to say substitute, although you probably wouldn’t say something like: “Equal: the sugar vicar”.
Anyways, this woman has been asked to leave the Church of England for reasons that, given the culture of the Church, are pretty obvious. However, the language of this article and some of the quotes given seem to illustrate a kind of mind-control that I feel it is my duty as an astrologer to bring to your attention. Psyche’s relationship to the perception of a wound, or a psychic, inner pain can be thought of sometimes as a subtle thorn, the shadow of pain. Check out the portion of the article below:
“Rev. Davies tried to bed Alan when she was wearing her church robes at the VICARAGE. She took him and Claire to a windowless room called ‘the den’—which had a sofa, two pictures of JESUS on the walls, a computer and the webcam. Mick suggested they have a foursome. Claire said: ‘Tess was very keen. But I just couldn’t do it because there were pictures of Jesus looking down everywhere. It didn’t seem right.’ ”
The words written in caps are taken directly from the article: I didn’t add anything to it. What is the aim of presenting the information in this manner? Can it be to further drive home the point that Christianity does not mix with sexuality? Can you find any evidence of mind-control in this paragraph? Is this woman being ostracized because of her sexual “deviancy” (and I use the term as a playful mischief), or because she worked for the Church, or because of the combination? Scandalization is a form of propaganda.
