Word of the Day

Nostalgia


In Greek, nostalgia literally means the pain from an old wound.


The term nostalgia describes a yearning for the past, often in idealized form.[1] The word is a learned formation of a Greek compound, consisting of νόστος (nóstos), meaning "returning home", a Homeric word, and ἄλγος (álgos), meaning "pain, ache". It was described as a medical condition, a form of melancholy, in the Early Modern period, and came to be an important topic inRomanticism.[1]  source wikipedia


“Teddy told me that in Greek, nostalgia literally means the pain from an old wound. It’s a twinge in your heart, far more powerful than memory alone. This device isn’t a spaceship, it’s a time machine. Goes backwards, forwards, and takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It’s not called ‘The Wheel,’ it’s called ‘The Carousel.’ It lets us travel the way a child travels, round and around and back home again, to a place where we know we are loved.” ~Don Draper. “The Wheel” Mad Men source Good Morning and Good Night

Theres a new sign in town "Ophiuchus"

Changes in alignment of Earth have made astrological signs change


Astronomer Parke Kunkle reports that changes in the alignment of the Earth have made the science behind our astrological signs change, as well as have an addition of a 13th sign, Ophiuchus. This change has apparently
 been coming throughout the years, as the 12 original signs were set almost 3,000 years ago. But the change over the years in the position of the earth in relation to the sun have created a need to revamp the astrological signs.

Now, what about this new sign, Ophiuchus?
In Greek mythology, Ophiuchus was Aesclepius, Master Architect, Healer, and God of Wisdom. He has always been a part of the zodiac belt, but until now was never included in the Western astrological breakdown. As the story goes, Aesclepius was a Greek God of medicine and, when trying to bring Orion the Hunter back to life, was taken down by Zeus and cast to the sky with the Greek name Ophiuchus.
