• Carmen de Lavallade  (March 6, 1931 – December 29, 2025) car men la/her valley all aid/ade

At the end of each in bold italics, are the cryptic elements in their names that I’ve deciphered.  This group  stands out given their names being additions to various “pattern cluster themes”, themes that I had picked up on in regards to other names of notable persons also added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2025 site under the month of December.  The pattern-cluster themes are as follows: “Christian” ; “Car”; “Rat”; “Fern”; “Smith”, to name a few.  

Two of the themes— the Fern and Christian, are connected because two notable persons who passed away in 2025, have “fig” in their names, and so these two were categorized in the “Christian Theme” pattern cluster, after all, the “fig” leaf plays a prominent role in the story of Adam and Eve,… and the fig and fern are both plants, hence the connection. 

Here are the list who fall into the “Christian Theme” pattern cluster: 

• Billy Ray Barnes (May 14, 1935 – December 31, 2025) Barns, bar, banes 
• Jacqueline Comtesse de Ribes (14 July 1929 – 30 December 2025) Ribs, rite, tribe, bribe, vibes, come test jack line
• Norton Barnhill (July 15, 1953 – December 22, 2025) north ton/big barn hill 
• Oscar da Costa Ribeiro (11 September 1936 – 19 December 2025) rib, os car day cost coast(rib)
• Haroldo Costa (May 13, 1930 – December 13, 2025) Coast (means “rib” in origin)
• Adam the Woo (David Adam Williams; August 10, 1974 – December 22, 2025) dam woe who
• Ángel Paz (1 April 1932 – 14 December) angel pan pat pal pad pay pap par paw 
• Nicola Pietrangeli (11 September 1933 – 1 December 2025) nick la/her pie angel

• Alfredo Díaz Figueroa  (August 3, 1969 – December 6, 2025) all free red do fig
• Edward Gabriel Risi (6 January 1949 – 4 December) eddy ward Gabriel/angel gab rise risk

I’ve highlighted the dates that stand out, … the two 9/11 are obvious in what they communicate; and then we also have a “May 14, __, July 14/Date Sequence” pattern cluster… with the June 14 gap being bridged by US President Trump whose birthday is June 14… one day after my own.  Adam the Woo’s birthday is the 222nd day of the year… 3 identical numbers… and especially 222, are a particular inner twin signature.  

I then put the question to AI as to possible connections between the fern and fig … in the mythological sense, and this is what was brought up:

In mythology and folklore, the fern and the fig have in common their strong association with 

fertility and new life, their ties to the divine and spiritual realms, and their links to hidden or mysterious elements of nature. 

Shared Mythological Themes

• Fertility and New Life:
  • Fern: The fern symbolizes new beginnings, growth, and fertility, owing this in part to its unique reproductive cycle via spores and its ancient history. The unfolding fiddlehead represents new life.
  • Fig: The fig is an ancient and potent symbol of abundance and fertility across many cultures. The numerous seeds within the fruit are seen to represent infinite possibilities and fruitfulness, and in ancient Greece and Rome, rituals involved the fig to promote fertility.
• Connection to the Divine and Spiritual Realms:
  • Fern: In Celtic and other European lore, ferns are deeply associated with magic, fairies, and spirits. Possessing fern "seeds" (spores) was believed to grant the ability to understand animal speech or reveal hidden power.
  • Fig: The fig tree holds immense sacred significance globally. The Buddha attained enlightenment under a fig tree (the Bodhi tree). In ancient Egypt, the fig was associated with the goddess Hathor, who welcomed souls to heaven. In Hinduism, the tree's parts represent major deities, and in Kenya, it is a means to communicate with God. Fig trees are often considered homes for various spirits, angels, and gods in different cultures.
• Mystery and the Hidden:
  • Fern: The fern's reproduction was a mystery to ancient people because it has no visible flowers or seeds. This led to myths of "invisible seeds" that could grant the bearer invisibility or the ability to find hidden treasures, often guarded by magical beings like trolls or demons.
  • Fig: The fig fruit is botanically an inverted flower, with its flowers hidden inside the fruit itself. This unique characteristic contributed to its perception as a mysterious fruit that produced without visible blossoms, a hidden miracle of gestation. Its symbolism can also represent hidden wisdom or the unseen connection between heaven and earth. 

While the fern's mythology often leans into European folklore of magic, fairies, and luck (sometimes ill luck) and the fig's into global religious and creation narratives, both plants are powerful, ancient symbols that bridge the gap between the mundane, visible world and the mysterious, unseen forces of nature and divinity
