Anti wolf heck collar

“The purpose of the collar is to protect the dog wearing it when it has to fight the wolves. The collar base protects the dog’s throat and carotid arteries, while the spikes are intended to deter bites to the neck or even injure wolves trying to do so.”

hmmm

Sir David Suchet after receiving his Knighthood for services to Drama and to Charity during an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle → January 25, 2022

The veteran actor received the honour from the Duke of Cambridge on Tuesday. His wife, Sheila Ferris, was by his side during the ceremony.

Sir David was recognised for his services to drama and charity after a career spanning more than 50 years. He is best known for playing moustachioed detective Hercule Poirot in the TV series Agatha Christie’s Poirot.

The 75-year-old said it had been special to receive his knighthood, announced in October 2020 as part of the Queen’s Birthday Honours list, from William.

“My OBE was with Her Majesty at Buckingham Palace, my CBE was was Prince Charles. And now my knighthood is with the Duke of Cambridge, so I’ve had Her Majesty the Queen and two future kings, which is very humbling indeed and totally unexpected.”

Sir David Suchet on his upcoming knighthood investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle → This Morning show, January 5 2022

The 75-year-old actor was due to be knighted in recognition of his services to drama and charity but sadly had to miss the event after receiving a positive Covid-19 test result.

David tweeted on December 14 2021 that his knighthood investiture was happening the following day. However, the same evening he updated his followers with a since-deleted tweet, “I have sad news. I have tested positive for Covid via a lateral flow test this evening. So no investiture for me at Windsor Castle tomorrow. I am getting a PCR test in the morning.”

Thankfully, David and his wife Sheila are doing well. On December 24 2021 David thanked his followers again and wished everyone a Happy Christmas, adding, “I am now out of isolation! Feeling 100%.”

The investiture ceremony has been postponed to a later date.

jungian archetypes & daemon forms

i'm working on a pullman analysis roundup and i've decided to incorporate jungian archetypes into understanding forms, just as a mechanism to help people start selecting what broader animal class/order/genus would be associated with them. there's also going to be specificity on region/biome and then specific associations with that animal, but the series places significance on even the type of animal you would symbolically have: servants with domestic dogs, for instance. to help people get familiar with the archetypes, what you might be, and what forms are good starting place considerations, i decided to run a little series on the different archetypes with an overview of four forms that would fit each.

this first series is on the espiritual journey archetypes: ones who are idealistic and yearn for paradise.

THE INNOCENT: sincere, optimistic, naïve

the innocent is a gentle individual who enjoys harmony and the simple things. they are led by a sense of compassion and open-mindedness, often also characterized as naïve or too soft-hearted. they are usually described as dreamers, nostalgic, and children at heart. the daemons of these types of people are therefore likely to be prey animals and also are more likely to be a domesticated species than most other archetypes. if this resonates with you, consider some of these forms as a starting place:

the domestic sheep is kind-hearted, docile, and wants to be a part of the group. they are easily led and manipulated, though also have themes of providing and nurturing. pastoral and/or religious significance likely plays a part in this person's life.

the red panda is withdrawn, gentle, and compromising. they value peace in their own lives and preserve their stability. they have an inner strength but aren't always taken seriously and are more consistently underestimated.

the rabbit is innocent, anxious, and self-preserving. they have an element of internal imagination and deep themes to fertility and creation. these people can be more fantastical and difficult to follow in their personal journey.

the deer is observant, protective, and nurturing. they are deeply connected to the forest and often implicated to preside over it, also giving this person an air of nobility and patience. even still, they are connected to the hunt, suggesting martyrism or loss of innocence.

THE SAGE: intelligent, observant, withdrawn

the sage is a contemplative individual who seeks understanding and the truth. they emphasize enlightenment in the self and letting go of judgment to better make sense of the world, though they can be so removed from practicality they become rigid and dogmatic. the daemons of these types of people seem to often be patient, opportunistic predators or types of birds, though there are long-standing associations with which animals we consider to be symbolically wise. if this resonates with you, consider some of these forms as a starting place:

the snake is secretive, cunning, and transformative. they are often paired with themes of rebirth and the cycle of life/death in the way they shed their skin. there is a negative reputation to their intelligence, characterized as self-serving and untrustworthy.

the ibis is mysterious, adaptive, and wise. their association with thoth is cardinal to their interpretation, and they consistently have old soul and historic themes attributed to them. they are cunning and move with change.

the snow leopard is powerful, observant, and spiritual. apex predators are also associated with the ruler archetype and the snow leopard certainly commands its area of intellect. they are mysterious, frigid but philosophical.

the owl is regal, academic, and wise. they have themes of perception and seeing through the dark or the "untruth", but their attribution with death and departed souls gives them an eerie or unconventional vibe.

the EXPLORER: adventurous, enthusiastic, restless

the explorer is a self-driven individual who craves freedom and independence. they are perpetually seeking to be satisfied and desire to escape the confines of a normal life. this quest may result in them finding themselves perpetually dissatisfied or disappointed in themselves. the daemons of these types of people are often migratory birds or other animals, or species that have attempted to be tamed such as unbridled symbolism with the wild horse. if this resonates with you, consider some of these forms as a starting place:

the albatross is dignified, persevering, and free. they are intrinsically linked to symbols of journeys as well as the sea and its coasts. their motifs are often connected to weathering storms and hailing messages, whether it be of bad weather or close shores.

the horse is spirited, compassionate, and righteous. while they often lend themselves in service to others, they just as often follow their own heart and choose loyalties carefully. they are a free spirit, not one to look behind them.

the bluebird is joyful, optimistic, and inspired. they intersect with the innocent as well as bringers of happiness, though they do not linger where they land. they have motifs of spring and renewal, and pursuing joy without regret.

the dolphin is playful, perceptive, and intelligent. they demonstrate a free heart and deep compassion for those around them, though their joyous laughter doesn't lend itself to taking things too seriously. their chief symbols are with water, the ocean, and emotion.

 Awwwwww!!!! And he has Aziraphale on his staying place!  ❤ 🥰
