Benoit Mandelbrot the Crow, Figs, Swans and the Synchronicity of Symbols

Benoit is a Black Crow. 

This blog was created by my Friend who lives in Swan Hill. 

Benoit's namesake - Benoit Mandelbrot - one of the most amazing visionary minds of our age and the "father" of fractal geometry can be seen talking in this interview (22nd October 2008) with  "The Black Swan" author, Nassim Nicholas Taleb . The interview is about the current economic global climate.

And now, as the circle of symbolic synchronicity turns, we come to Swans and Swan Hill, where there is this most amazing FIG TREE . Now, my friend gave me the link to this Swan Hill FIG TREE, because I wrote about the Hope Is. FIG TREE in this blog earlier. 

The article is called Hope Is. Moon Symbols. 

And so, we come back to my darling CROWS , their mystery, magic and their myth. 

The Crow was the symbolic WHITE bird of Apollo. Apollo turned Crow  black due to the Crow's actions. Apollo entrusted the white Crow with a mission to get pure water. Instead of completing the task for Apollo, the CROW decided to hang out near a fig tree and eat FIGS. The Crow then blamed it's tardiness in completing Apollo's request, on a snake! 

Hence, Apollo turned the Crow black and set the Crow (CORVUS) up in the sky with the WATER SNAKE (Hydra) and the CUP (Crater). And so, the circle is almost complete. We are Back to Benoit, the Crow, and his father, and the moon.... and the magic of LIFE!!!!

And life has many interlinked stories like this - stories that intertwine and meander over and over the same symbols, interlinking and reinforcing ideas........and, of course, cygnus (SWAN) is also a constellation! 

And:  S.W.A.N. also stands for Sahaja Worldwide Announcements and News ! You may notice that I have done some articles for the Sahaja Yoga movement in this blog, to help with astrological inspirations for my friend who is in this worldwide movement. 

This type of inter connectedness just makes me want to sing and dance!!! I LOVE IT!!

Nature, Mathematics, Geometry, Money, Myths, Magic, Spirit and Music - they are all linked, no matter which way we look at it.
