The ancient rabbis lived among peoples who believed in astrology and references to its insights are found throughout the Talmud. Among the most famous is this line from Genesis Rabbah 10, which was written during the talmudic period: “Rabbi Shimon said: There is not a single blade of grass that does not have a constellation in the firmament that strikes it and says to it: ‘Grow.’” In Moed Katan 28a, Rava states that one’s lifespan, children and sustenance depend not on merit, but on mazala — the Aramaic word for constellation. 

On "mazel tov":

In contemporary Jewish life, astrology has little purchase. Though mazel tov is the most common Jewish expression of congratulations, it has long been stripped of its celestial connotations. Most Jews use the expression with no awareness of its astrological origins nor of the fact that its common usage after the birth of a child nods to the core astrological idea that the timing of birth has an indelible imprint on a person’s destiny.

The New Arrival - Nicky Nichols x Alex Vause x Reader

So I just put up a post about how I regret not writing more this year and mainly had one thing in mind while putting that together.

I had intended to post something for Welcome to Night Vale's Tenth Anniversary in June (and when that date passed me by I was thinking by Halloween and then... yeah.)

The one in question is Episode 42: Numbers

An episode with central themes that are very personal for me and have been since I first listened to it. Which was why I had trouble writing about it.

I wanted to have some visuals to include in relationship to the episode to go with the analysis, so I commissioned art of the character Fey (who debuted and had her only major appearance in this episode.) Posted up top.
