ROAR


 Listening to the Radio a song began to play—ROAR, by Katy Perry.  The chorus rang out: 

… I got the eye of the tiger, a fighterDancing through the fire 'cause I am a championAnd you're gonna hear me roarLouder, louder than a lion 'cause I am a champion

Of course there’s the “eye”,…  and then the “ROAR”, … and then the “lion”, all a cryptic finger pointing to my recent January 5th post, The Eye of Africa and My Novels .   That was enough for me to check out Katy Perry’s wiki page: 

Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984)

If you key in October 25 in this blogs search box, many posts will come up for the simple reason that the date is particularly meaningful to me… and to the inner twin world.  I’ll let this excerpt from an earlier post do the explaining: 

The following excerpt from my post, Daniel, Daniele, Danny Daniel’s and the King of POP (POP Part 26), will update you: 

Reading my previous post, you can see that I had singled out the name “Daniel” and surname “Daniel’s”, and this had to do with my recent December 25 post, Juror #2 and October 25th (POP Part 23), where one of the two son’s of my cousin who died in a car crash on October 25th, is named Daniel.  And now with that in mind, note this recent addition to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2024 site with the first notable “Daniele” (with an ‘e’) has just been added: 

Daniele Bagnoli, 71, Italian volleyball coach (Top Volley Latina).

Daniele Bagnoli (25 October 1953 – 27 December 2024)

So what are the chances of THAT— not only a name connection, butt an October 25 connection!! So what to make of it all?!  As well, his surname is an addition to the “Word in Name” pattern cluster, and so we have “bag” and “no” that provides us with a cryptic communication. 

On following the leads, I decided to venture to the Daniels surname wikipedia page.  Since there are a vast  number of notable persons with the surname, I decided to limit my search to any with the first name Daniel.  There was one: 

Danny Daniels, American choreographer, tap dancer, and teacher

Note from his wikipedia page: 

Danny Daniels (October 25, 1924 – July 9, 2017)

ROAR (lyrics): 
… I used to bite my tongue and hold my breathScared to rock the boat and make a messSo I sat quietly, agreed politelyI guess that I forgot I had a choiceI let you push me past the breaking pointI stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
… You held me down, but I got up (hey)Already brushing off the dustYou hear my voice, you hear that soundLike thunder, gonna shake the groundYou held me down, but I got up (hey)Get ready 'cause I've had enoughI see it all, I see it now
… I got the eye of the tiger, a fighterDancing through the fire 'cause I am a championAnd you're gonna hear me roarLouder, louder than a lion 'cause I am the championAnd you're gonna hear me roar
… Ooh, oohYou're gonna hear me roar
… Now I'm floating like a butterflyStinging like a bee, I earned my stripesI went from zero to my own hero
… You held me down, but I got up (hey)Already brushing off the dustYou hear my voice, you hear that soundLike thunder, gonna shake the groundYou held me down, but I got up (hey, got up)Get ready 'cause I've had enoughI see it all, I see it now
… I got the eye of the tiger, a fighterDancing through the fire 'cause I am a championAnd you're gonna hear me roarLouder, louder than a lion 'cause I am a championAnd you're gonna hear me roar
… Ooh, oohYou're gonna hear me roar (hey)Ooh (you'll hear me roar), oohYou're gonna hear me roar
… Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar
… I got the eye of the tiger, a fighterDancing through the fire 'cause I am a championAnd you're gonna hear me roarOh, louder, louder than a lion 'cause I am a championAnd you're gonna hear me roar
… Ooh (yeah), oohYou're gonna hear me roarOoh (you'll hear me roar), oohYou're gonna hear me roar

Son of Adam, Daughter of Eve and Weird Tales


The following notable person recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2025 site stands out:

Saeid Pirdoost, 85, Iranian actor (Snake Fang, Son of Adam, Daughter of Eve, Great Award), cancer

Note the Adam and Eve and snake in the titles of the first two films, quite remarkable when you consider the recent and prominent “Adam and Eve/Bible Theme” pattern cluster.  Note from Pirdoost’s wiki page: 

Saeid Pirdoost (6 January 1941– 6 January 2026)

He died on his birthday, and so another addition to the “Birthday Blues” pattern cluster.   As well, his first name is an addition to the “Remove a Letter in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster … and so removing the “e” makes “said”, and as for his surname, I was able to locate an etymology of “oost”— Dutch for “east”, with the first part, pird, possibly a cryptic “pied” and/or “pier”.  Note etymology below: 

east

Old English east, eastan (adj., adv.) "east, easterly, eastward;" easte (n.), from Proto-Germanic *aust- "east," literally "toward the sunrise" (source also of Old Frisian ast "east," aster "eastward," Dutch oost Old Saxon ost, Old High German ostan, German Ost, Old Norse austr "from the east"), from PIE root *aus- (1) "to shine," especially of the dawn. The east is the direction in which dawn breaks

pied(adj.)

"parti-colored, variegated with spots of different colors," late 14c. (early 14c. in surnames), as if it were the past participle of a verb form of the Middle English noun pie "magpie" (see pie (n.2)), in reference to the bird's black and white plumage. Earliest use is in reference to the pyed freres, an order of friars who wore black and white. Also in pied piper (1845, in Browning's poem based on the German legend; used allusively by 1939)

pier(n.)

late Old English, pere, "support of a span of a bridge," from Medieval Latin pera, a word of unknown origin, perhaps from Old North French pire "a breakwater," from Vulgar Latin *petricus, from Latin petra "rock" (see petrous), but OED is against this. Meaning "solid structure in a harbor, used as a landing place for vessels; mole or jetty projecting out to protect vessels from the open sea" is attested from mid-15c.

The pied piper above brings me to research the old fable. Also above poet Robert Browning is mentioned:  

Robert Browning (7 May 1812 – 12 December 1889)

On investigating the Pied Piper wiki page, I came to the following cryptic connection re Russell’s date of birth

  • Eric Frank Russell (January 6, 1905 – February 28, 1978) 
So Saeid was born … and then died on Russell’s birthday!!
AI provides a brief on Russell’s version in “The Rhythm of the Rats”: 
    • Plot: A lone survivor of a crash finds a remote village with medieval customs, a deep fear of the dark, and an unusual reverence for rats, which they see as their children.

Else Truth Win Eve

 The following notable person recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2025 site stands out:

Elsje de Wijn [nl], 82, Dutch actress and singer.

  • Elsje Agatha Francisca de Wijn (3 January 1944– 5 January 2026)

Her name contains a cryptic “else win” by applying the “Remove a Letter in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster, and that was enough in itself to do a double take, butt when I ventured to her wikipedia page and saw her birthday, that settled it!!  Note from my previous post: 

The following notable person recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2025 site stands out:

The first two I had included in an earlier post, and they stood out due to the fact that they died on the same day, and also celebrate the same birthday. The second two died two days apart and celebrate the same birthday.  I decided to consider that this is another inner twin prompt.  For one the dates generate a “January 1(x2), January 2(x3), __, January 4, January 5(x2)/Date Sequence pattern cluster. And I also consider that they are wanting me to go back the list of Notable persons who passed away on January 5 and January 1, to see if anything stands out

As you can see, she passed away on January 5th, AND, her January 3rd birthday bridges the gap in the above pattern cluster:

“January 1(x2), January 2(x3), January 3, January 4, January 5(x2)/Date Sequence pattern cluster. 

so obviously, she hadn’t been added to the list when I posted earlier today.  As well then, her name adds to the cryptic communication with the other names included in my previous post:

Sale rush; am shy sham pal/lad/lag/lap/law/lay; pet as grab graft; mar bar; sung; brain do yodel; he drop door; victor ones; else frank/truth win. 

Two of her films stand out: 

 Usually, when it comes to a list of films, I tend to limit my search to years having 3 identical numbers in sequence… so can only be 1999 and/or 2000.  This time however the film “Frank and Eva” contains the cryptic “frank/truth and eve”… and it’s the EVE that stood out given my recent post concerning Adam and Eve— so a twin heads upp!! Note the following from my recent January 2 post, Victoria Jones, Smith’s and Ascari Car: 

 … Adam and Eve, butt with a twist — Black Adam and Eve:


Turning now to the film Frank and Eva… and if Eva is synonymous with “Eve”, then Frank/truth is synonymous with “Adam”— in the cryptic analysis.   Note from the films wiki page: 

Frank and Eva is a1973 Dutch film by Pim de la Parra .

Note from Pim de la Parra’s wiki page:  

Pim de la Parra (January 5, 1940 –  September 6, 2024 )

So Elsie passed away on his birthday!! 


  • A'dam – E.V.A.: A popular Dutch TV series (2011-2014) about Adam and Eva, two souls drawn together in Amsterdam, with a US adaptation in development.

Yodel and Lead Balloon

  


The following notable person recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2025 site stands out:


The first two I had included in an earlier post, and they stood out due to the fact that they died on the same day, and also celebrate the same birthday. The second two died two days apart and celebrate the same birthday.  I decided to consider that this is another inner twin prompt.  For one the dates generate a “January 1(x2), January 2(x3), __, January 4, January 5(x2)/Date Sequence pattern cluster. And I also consider that they are wanting me to go back the list of Notable persons who passed away on January 5 and January 1, to see if anything stands out. As to the latter, I came to 4 people:
The first one was born January 1st and died January 5, and the next two follow the same sequence— died on same day (Jan 1) and celebrate the same birthday.  Perhaps they are all designed to connect … via cryptic elements in their names arrived at by applying various pattern cluster.  Doing so we arrive at a cryptic phrase… of sorts:  

Sale rush; am shy sham pal/lad/lag/lap/law/lay; pet as grab graft; mar bar; sung; brain do yodel; he drop door; victor ones.  

Clusters applied: “Word in Name” pattern cluster ; “Add a Letter to Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster; “Remove a Letter in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster ; “Switch Letters Around in Name Makes a Word (anagram)” pattern cluster.   

It’s hard to decipher so I focused on any of the words that are obviously related, like “law” and “bar”…, and “yodel” and “sung”. The “brain yodel” in Brian Doyle also really struck me as being a significant prompt, after all, it would take a good brain power to yodel… and “brain” is likely a cyptic way of saying “brain work required on yodel”… as in do what I do best —research, … research yodel.

On the Yodel wikipedia page it makes reference to Led Zeppelin, and after researching all the notable persons mentioned on the Yodel wiki page, only one was born on January 3rd (and so bridging the above cluster)— John Paul Jones, member of Led Zeppeline 

Led Zeppelin


One account of how the new band's name was chosen held that Moon and Entwistle had suggested that a supergroup with Page and Beck would go down like a "lead balloon", an idiom for being very unsuccessful or unpopular.[21] The group dropped the 'a' in lead at the suggestion of Peter Grant, so that those unfamiliar with the term would not pronounce it "leed".[22] The word "balloon" was replaced by "zeppelin", a word which, according to music journalist Keith Shadwick, brought "the perfect combination of heavy and light, combustibility and grace" to Page's mind.

The Eye of Africa and My Novels





This post involves research for the graphic novel that I’ve been in the process of writing for about 25 years now,… well not just me alone, butt with Tou and the inner twin world.   It’s a saga, so it’s long and requires a lot of research, butt another reason why it’s taking so long has to do with the fact that my life gets busy,…  mostly with things that I would rather not be doing!! Sometimes I get the impression that it’s not meant to be finished, butt my sense now is different. 

I am aware that my life is influenced by my inner twin and the inner twin world on a regular basis that sometimes connect with emerging pattern clusters as a result of investigating Wikipedia.  I don’t necessarily post about the occurrences every time, butt this one is definitely meant to be included here.  

Recently on Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2025 site, many of the notable person added in December stood, generating a “Christian/Biblical Theme” pattern cluster that I included in my recent December 3rd post,Hay Den Mud Brick Barns, where 3 in particular grabbed my attention: 

I’ve included at the end of each, the cryptic elements in their names that are designed to form part of a cryptic communication.  The three share one thing in common in their names, — “rib”, with the first two being more obvious, and for the third, you have to be aware that the name Costa means “coast” in Spanish, … and that the earlier meaning of the word, coast, is  “rib”. Note the etymology: 

Coast (n.) 

early 14c., "margin of the land;" earlier "rib as a part of the body" (early 12c.), from Old French coste "rib, side, flank; slope, incline;" later "coast, shore" (12c., Modern French côte), from Latin costa "a rib," perhaps related to a root word for "bone" (compare Old Church Slavonic kosti "bone," and PIE root *ost-)

Of course the Biblical tie-in with “rib” is in the Genesis 2:22: And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman… .  My sense is that it’s not a literal account as many believe it to be, butt allegory— and that the “rib” actually references to the coastline where “land” meets “sea”, and that early humans  began associating their world in terms of dualities: male and female; land and sea; day and night (eve), and then there’s the middle ground — the shore that at one point is part of the “sea “and then at another is bone dry “land” (food for thought)

Because the first book in my saga involves archaic nomadic tribes, where some foraged near the shore of West Africa, and some foraged far inland, I needed to find a suitable location somewhere in West Africa. During the course of the year, each tribe would begin a migratory journey covering hundreds of  miles that would bring them to a common point where they stayed for another duration to work, trade and celebrate Kwanzaa.

At first, I leaned toward placing their shore village at Africa’s mid west … butt problems with this began to surface— this didn’t fit in with an important story line that I had in mind involving “ice whales”.   Ice-whales is the term I concocted to describe an event that actually happens that’s known as “ice entrapment”, where whales get trapped by ice and then die as it closes off their last breathing hole (called sassat by the Inuit), leaving their bodies to become engulfed in a block of surface ice that thickens as winter progresses, until finally massive flows from melting glaciers during spring create mega-currents that together with giant calved ice bergs then push the surface ice and its cache of frozen whales out to sea  

The ice-whales served this tribe as an easily acquired food source— blubber provides nutrients and especially much needed vitamin c …whale oil… and as they would later discover, a source of making methane gas.  So I began looking for a place in north west Africa where ocean currents flowed directly from the North .  

After more research, I found Mauritania, where its jutting shoreline offered a place where swift ocean currents could feasibly drive the bergs with their scooped up block of ice-whales, butt then another problem arose— Mauritania is part of the Sahara Desert… so how I could this desert location be a feasible spot for human habitation?!   As time went on however, I learned about a cyclical occurring event referred to as the “Green Sahara” or “African Humid Period (AHP)”— that are intervals around 10,000 +-years, when the Sahara turned green — teaming with vegetation, lake, rivers, Savana grasslands, scrubland, marshland, flood plains, and even large pockets of  jungle.  

The first two images below are taken from various web sites that show the areas of the Green Sahara, and as you can see, Mauritania was fairly green during these intervals. 

As time went on… and I still wasn’t sure where in Mauritania to locate the two related tribes, the inner twin world decided to help out… more specifically, bringing me to a place referred to as “the Eye of Africa, or the Rich-at-Structure, a circular land indentation, a massive, eroded geological dome in the Sahara Desert of Mauritania, known for its concentric rings visible from space, resembling a giant eye or bullseye (see third and fourth images below).  On further research I learned that this huge crater filled with water during the AHP.  So this was a plausible place… the furthest extent of the two related tribes. 

This reminded me of my earlier posts, where I provide my sketch of the “Lion” that I could see in Africa (see the sketch at image 4, taken from my August 12, 2017 post: T- Neck... Teaneck and the Lion ).  

I then learned of a great river that once flowed in the Sahara (see the river depicted at image 5)— The Tamanrasset River, an enormous palaeoriver believed to have flowed through West Africa as recently as 5000 years ago during the African humid period. The Tamanrasset River basin is thought to have been comparable with the present-day Ganges-Brahmaputra river basin in Asia. 

And then, last night I decided to watch a film— Ben Hur (the newer 2016 film version)… because it is Bible related after all… and note the cryptic “ben/time her hurt” found in the name (Ben connects with “time” due to Big Ben clock).  As the film began, at the time of indicating the Film maker logo, it began with a zooming out from an area that would soon become an “EYE” (see first image above), that then zoomed out further (see second image above), … that zoomed out further to reveal a “LION”… then its tell-tale “ROAR”… and finally the MGM logo (see third image above). Now THAT, is a real eye opener… and an inner twin world influence… and prompt!!  

I’ve provided other research for the saga below,… maybe you can follow.
