The Urban Shaman Interprets the Omen


Ominous Phenominon: garbage truck breaks down in front of my house, taking most of the day to be repaired.






Urban Shaman's Interpretation: Symbolizes difficulty letting go of old, toxic energies; brooding over old wounds one thought were healed. Note that it took a cooperative effort to resolve the problem, and note the jovial goodwill of the repair technician. Overcome resistance to seeking help.
Thank you, Urban Shaman, from the bottom of my superstitious savage.

Astonishingly accurate!

That made me think of a fascinating book I read once, where every illness was explained as the physical manifestation of some spiritual problem. I knew something was wrong when I got to the part of sexual diseases and neurosis, and they were all exclusively about women, as if men didn't have sexual problems or maladjustments. The way the author (a man) described how frigid women spend too much time worrying about looking good when they're in bed instead of focusing on enjoying the love making was especially revealing. Guess who must have had a grudge against beautiful women he couldn't satisfy?
