Gua Feng (Blow Wind)

Tuesday 13th Jan 2015. I was at work in LSE. I remember the hail outside. I had forgotten it was the anniversary of YoonAh's suicide. 
A mini tornado ripped through Harrow in North West London destroying a garage in Grafton Road. A firefighter described it as 'like something out of The Wizard of Oz'.

I checked my dream diary today and the night before [11/12-2-2015] one entry says:
'- Feng Gua'
I had learnt this in my Chinese lessons a few months before. Its backwards, maybe because dreams are reversed, the unconscious as opposed to the conscious. It should be Gua Feng - 'Wind Blow'.

When I had first met YoonAh I had walked her home along Lewisham Way. There was a storm blowing and we sat on the bench over the railway bridge at the top of Loampit Hill and watched as things were blown past. She said she liked the storm because it had 'tension'.

12 days after she had died I was with the artist Daniella Vals-Gen. We had just seen an exhibition at Orleans House by the river in Twickenham. An exhibition of Madge Gill, the spiritualist outsider artist, but also a collection of ouiji boards and ghost photographs. As we left there was a storm blowing. We got caught in the mini tornado that struck South West London that night [25 Jan 2014], picking cats off the floor in Cobham, destroying property in Ham. The wind has scared me and we ran for cover. There was purple lightning. Later we found a large tree ripped in half.

The Irish believe that whirlwinds contain Fairies.
In the Middle East they believe that Dust Devils are the vehicles in which the Jinn ride.

When you watch footage of tornadoes its easy to get the impression that they are alive.

9 Waterspouts in China

http://shanghaiist.com/2014/10/22/waterspouts-qinghai-photos.php

I dreamt about this film a few weeks ago...

I couldn't figure out how I knew the year of the film (1973) in the dream, I just remember dreaming about a double-decker bus being driven by the current Bond actor, and the wheel coming off.

I particularly remember this part of the film when I watched as a child.

Something I missed earlier...

 Sunday 26th January 2014, this was the day after the mini-tornado me and artist Daniella Valz-Gen encountered after seeing the Madge Gill exhibition. The pope, and some children, release white doves symbolizing peace, from the Vatican window. The doves are attacked by sea gulls and hooded crows. This gesture of peace was made in reference to the then spiraling situation in Kiev.

As of now the Ukraine situation just escalated dramatically with the shooting down of Malaysian Airlines MH17. 

Vatican

1550s, from Latin mons Vaticanus, Roman hill on which Papal palace stands. Said to be an Etruscan loan-word, not related to vates "sooth-sayer."

can (v.1)

Old English 1st & 3rd person singular present indicative of cunnan "know, have power to, be able," (also "to have carnal knowledge"), from Proto-Germanic *kunnan "to be mentally able, to have learned" (cognates: Old Norse kenna "to know, make known," Old Frisian kanna "to recognize, admit," German kennen "to know," Gothic kannjan "to make known"), from PIE root *gno- (see know).

Absorbing the third sense of "to know," that of "to know how to do something" (in addition to "to know as a fact" and "to be acquainted with" something or someone). An Old English preterite-present verb, its original past participle, couth, survived only in its negation (see uncouth), but see also could. The present participle has spun off as cunning.

I heard recently that 'can' relates to snake i.e. knowledge from the serpent (think of the symbol for medicine) -- I can't find a reference for this as of now...

A hooded crow attacks one of the peace doves.

Hooded crows:
'In Celtic folklore, the bird appears on the shoulder of the dying Cú Chulainn,^[19] and could also be a manifestation of the Morrígan, the wife of Tethra, or the Cailleach.^[20] This idea has persisted, and the hooded crow is associated with fairies in the Scottish highlands and Ireland; in the 18th century, Scottish shepherds would make offerings to them to keep them from attacking sheep. '

'Mother, do you remember when I was little, I had a friend, he was make-believe? '

Monday 9th June 2014 Rik Mayall is found dead at home. He died suddenly, and as of yet, mysteriously. Culturally this was a big event across the U.K. The many articles about him in the paper this week reminded me of his one Hollywood film Drop Dead Fred, not because of the title as such (although it doesn't escape your attention) but because it was on at the cinemas in the U.K. when I was working part-time at the Odeon cinema in Richmond. We used to get a long lunch (back when you still got an hour...) and I once went exploring in the basement under screen one. It was dark, I think I might have had one of those torches the ushers use. The building was old, completed in 1930, and the basement led to another, deeper and darker basement. On the second basement I started to become nervous, no one had been down here for a while I guessed, what it was originally used for I am not sure. Richmond is on a hill and you can see the rise of that hill from the front of the cinema. On the second basement I discovered stairs leading down to a third basement and there is where I left it, fear rising in me. I went back up.

Drop Dead Fred is about an unhappy girl's imaginary friend who appears from a jack-in-the-box to cheer her up. When she visits a world renown psychologist who specializes in children with imaginary friends, Fred gets to meet up with all the other imaginary friends who he, we presume, all know each other from the imaginary friend dimension.

Writing for Mystical Move Guide, Carl J. Schroeder states:
"The imaginary friend is cavortingly rude for a reason; he served to push the girlchild to do mischief for attention and as a cry for help. Now grown up, the woman has forgotten and is about to lose her soul, so events call for some kind of literal return of her demon to force the exposure of her pain. This psychic crisis is poignantly realistic... The creature who is visible only to the woman is like a poltergeist energy of her repressed self, a problematic ego container into which her powers of assertion and creativity were poured and stored. The movie's resolution is startlingly beautiful..."

Nothing's there...

Saturday 31 May 2014 maybe 6pm. I'm at Queen Road Overground Station with the artist Daniella Valz-Gen. I notice two objects in the sky above what looks like New Cross. One is larger and drifting to the right, the other smaller, is just hanging there. Daniella Valz-Gen sees them too. There's maybe a flash. But I'm not sure. Daniella says there is a flash. Then the train comes.
I take a picture. I remember that the larger object is above one of the blocks of white flats.

There's nothing in the picture.

"This is like an apocalyptic Hollywood movie,"

"I've never seen anything like this. I was afraid it was an omen of things to come."
