New moon here will be at 9:55 a.m. Tuesday local time.

Today on my walk home from Mary’s I stopped in at
Dollarama to get some stuff for another sister. I got
a 173 g bag of snack-sized candy bars and four regular
sized chocolate bars. The total with 15% tax was $9.55.

I consider that significant since 55 has been my lucky
or recurring number and 55 in Roman numerals is LV
which I take to mean LOVE, and also because of
the timing of new/dark moon.

I plan to begin another global new age onset mystic
activation sequence at 9:55 a.m. Tuesday and will
list any required changes in a post to alt.religion.druid
just after that.

However I have said that I don’t expect a correlation
with an existing religious holiday, and this will be
Diwali new/dark moon. (Diwali is celebrated by
Hindus, Jain, Sikhs, some Buddhists, and some
atheists.)

And also the man who served me at the checkout was
of South Asian descent, and I should have mentioned
the coincidence to him but neglected to.
