Remember this: Your knee jerk reaction tells me something about what your mental tendencies gravitate toward.
Sometimes I have sleepless nights. I get on the social medias and visit what the general collective manic unconscious is doing and saying. The current crazy is Taylor Swift and a necklace she has put out as an offering. I could do some political think piece about war torn countries but that is a blot that will never subside. What can you do but talk, walk, rally, and have the police menace you for exercising your Constitutional Rights.
This is going to be a short one. I am not telling you what to do. I am giving suggestions.
First off, if you are not sitting in the room with the people making the choices for jewelry construction for commercial production, maybe it is not a good idea that you start tacking your subjective surmises to its appearance in the world.
Second, don't let your personal dislikes, that add a negative connotation, lead you down the wanton road of distain and contempt for a person because you think they are and have had a better deal than you in the Olympic Games of life.
Third, get better acquainted with the use of signs and symbols. Carl Jung wrote a whole book on that topic. It might be a good idea that you sit down with some actual literature or take a literature class that shows you how to appreciate the written word in whatever form it should take. Do not make yourself look stupid in public. It is easy to do.
Fourth, don't blow a dog whistle or listen for one when the content and context of that whistle is leading you down an erroneous path. That path is going to make you look shallow, uninformed and well; it illustrates your lack of critical thinking skills and the nuances of a low tier Mastermind at best.
Fifth, when in doubt, do not act. That keeps you from making yourself look dumb in front of your peers, or strangers, whatever your vibe is for the night.
Sixth, always remember you do not have every vantage point to speak from. Speaking from a vantage point while holding up a greasy monocle over your one good eye is ridiculous.
I am sure I can go on but moving along.
Looks like a perfectly good not overworked necklace. Zeus and Thor would be proud. The necklace is as follows:
How did the general population come to the conclusion this was Nazi work? Did you not investigate who the maker was? Where did the ideas come from? Why does it have to have meaning? Did anyone check to see if it was metal or plastic? Was it appropriated from a stone wall somewhere?
I buy stuff all the time that has no meaning except that I like it and it is pretty. If it resonant with something in your spirit, you are going to get it even if it is a whim, or trend buy. An alien may dig it off of a piece of rock in outer space one dark space night because Earth blew up and there it is. I can only image what that alien is going to be thinking.
To add my two cents of unsolicited advice and observation, this is what I offer up to you as fat to chew in your journey to discover the meaning of Taylor Swift's Voynich necklace. Certainly, in time this mystery will be cleared up but just so it puts you in a sense of emotional crisis of your own choosing, I hope you get closure.
What does this have to do with hunting? Nothing. Sometimes you find yourself chasing after something that makes no sense.
At this point, she is pulling a Jack Sparrow.
Here is what I put forth as gasoline.
Taylor Swift is a lyrist that uses the spoken word, Easter eggs, signs symbols, and visual aids to keep her audience challenged and engaged. It appears the visual of lightning bolts and something that looks like a star can be confusing, but I believe it is a maritime compass used for navigation.
When you juxtaposition a lightning bolt and a navigational compass together you combine the symbols of chaotic, destructive, and divine power with the human search for guidance, order, and purpose. This creates tension between explosive inspiration and deliberate guided action.
The Lightning Bolt
The lightning bolt could be interpreted as a sudden, powerful and divine intervention that can bring about destruction, creation, or joining of things not likely to happen. The lightning bolt can be a quick jolting creative force. If you think of the saying, "a bolt from the blue", could be interpreted as a life-changing event, moment of profound clarity, or making way for the new and removing the old.
Sometimes on a navigation compass the magnetic needle will be shaped like a thunderbolt. That little piece will point True North or tell you in what direction you are heading.
When you put the two together, the compass represents a reliable wayfinding tool. It symbolizes staying on the right path, finding one's way, and to a specific destination. As a inner moral compass, it's used as a metaphor for reminding you to trust your instincts and stay true to your values, even amid confusion.
Sailors would get tattoos for protection and good luck to encourage adventure and exploration for safe travels.
When you combine the lightning bolt and the compass you get the following:
- Divine guidance vs human will
- Intuition and purpose
- Adapting to chaos
Pairing the two creates a powerful tension between fate and free will. The lightning bolt is destiny imposed by a higher power, while the compass represents the individual's freedom and intention to choose their direction.
Together they represent finding one's path as the lightning bolt is a eureka moment and the compass is the tool used to pursue the sudden insight deliberately. It symbolizes both radical vision and the discipline action needed to achieve it.
In regard to adapting to chaos, the lightning bolt represents unpredictable chaos of life, and the compass symbolizes being grounded and oriented despite the external turmoil. It is a symbol of resilience of using one's inner wisdom to navigate the storms of existence.
Yet, beware. Magnetism from a lightning strike can cause your compass to go awry. It has the ability to change the properties of the alloy effectively changing the metallurgy of the component.
If you look at Taylor Swift's life and her roadies, her life appears to be exciting and grandiose, but she is inside of a machine that rolls based on execution of time and precision, so she doesn't have much time for else when she is in its throws. You could imagine her feelings of being on the Hamster Wheel of Entertainment. It would be like an addict stuck in their addiction living out the same day, day in and day out. That would eventually crush your soul because you would assimilate to be like the machine that your habitat and ecosystem have trapped you in. That is a closed system, a fish tank. One thing gets out of balance the whole tank dies. The only thing you have to look for is collapse and demise.
Most people don't think about how their life is lived in a plethora of ecosystems, open and closed.
When you look at the timeline of her life struggles while the obnoxious voices in the back say she is entitled. No. She has suffered. She tells you in songs of her treatment and people buy her pain, joy, melancholy, etc. No one ever stops the problems of what she is in and affected by. Its entertainment.
When you see people online attack her for a necklace and use Nazi crap, you can see why our country is like it is. You can see why human beings are so messed up. It's like watching lemmings with gas and matches running off a cliff into a pile of dry wood while screaming, "Death to the invaders." The mindset of destruction will never make sense to me. Right now, there seem to be a lot of people trying as hard as they can to bring her down. That is a lot of effort for one person. She must be awesome to instill that much fear and hate. and equal parts love and loyalty.
Would you look at that?
