Delta Airlines,

A storm is December is not so unexpected that you need to delay flights for TWO DAYS. That's okay, after you refund my money it's going to another airline. Nothing like saying it with my hard-earned money
No love,
Me

Your result for The Mythological Goddess Test...

Isis

Indeed, you are 88% erudite, 83% sensual, 58% martial, and 50% saturnine.

This Egyptian supreme Goddess is certainly the most influential deity on subsequent cultures. She was the ideal figure of womanhood, usually compared with the Greek Goddess Demeter or her Roman version, Ceres.


Isis was one element of a Holy Trinity, the remaining two figures being her brother and husband Osiris and their heroic son Horus. She was the Goddess of Magic for her brilliance, as well as the Goddess of Love because of her tenacious devotion.


She is often shown with wings, curving to caress coffins and sarcophagi of many a king. In certain papyri she is shown with her falcon wing headdress, covering her ears. One of her sacred symbols is the sistrum, a musical instrument that was believed to ward off evil spirits. Isis' sistrum was carved bearing the image of a cat and was representative of the Moon.


Isis was the High Priestess and an omnipotent magician as well as the only being ever to discover the secret name of Ra. She invariably carries the ankh, the symbol for eternal life. Her name is, by the rules of numerology, adding up to the number “2” and she just so happens to be depicted on the tarot card “Key 2 – The High Priestess”.

12:47pm: Research help request from someone on a board
Reposted from [info]renfaire_worker

A plea for research help...
Hello, lovely people-

My name is Emily. I'm a graduate student doing some research on themed environments, living history displays and historical reenacting. Specifically, I'm interested in the issue of historical accuracy and authenticity at Renaissance Faires. I would very, very much appreciate it if you would take a minute or two to answer a brief survey; I would love to supplement on-site interviews conducted at King Richard's Faire in Massachusetts with the various perspectives of Ren Faire enthusiasts from across the country.

If you're interested (have I begged enough? Because I'm certainly not above groveling...) please email me (emily_handlin@brown.edu) and I'll send the survey to you posthaste.

Thank you in advance!

NOTE: I am not Emily...please don't comment and expect a reply from her :)
