This list comes from Kelly-Ann Maddox's exhortation to think about the pop culture things that have meaning to you

also look at: books read ; movies watched

people

• Scully
• Mulder
• Wonder Woman
• Farah Black (from Dirk Gently) -- totally kickarse and confident woman

real animals & living things

• kakapo
• elephants

things

• Rubik's Cube -- Kelly-Ann mentioned this, and I like it. They represent problem-solving, things becoming 'right' or in balance, and oneness (but I'm not sure why for that last one). Also, it's a combination of intellectuality and manual dexterity. Also, it's a way for nerds to become great.

NEXT STEPS

• connect these things together with your beliefs. What do they represent as symbols?
• experiment with them and how they can add to your spiritual life. Which ones have the most meaning for you? What kinds of rituals or activities can you include them in?
  • if you play a video game, create an astral space in that world.
  • create a deity thoughtform who will do x when you give it y.
• remember, Tolkien created a whole world, so why can't you?
