222, Maia, May, Megan… May All and “October 25(x14)” pattern cluster

Today, May 23rd, is the day of the year where 222 days remain— a particular inner twin trademark signature. 

There’s something that’s been nagging me.   I’d like to come back to one particular person listed on Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2024 site: 

• James Selfe, 68, South African politician, MP (1994–2021). 
• James Selfe (23 August1955 – 21 May 2024) 

Given the recent “Remove a Letter from Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster, with his name making “jams self”, … I need to get with the program— this is meaningful to me personally,… and to my inner twin self (we are both jammed) , so I need to dig into this.  His birthday is meaningful personally,… given that my granddaughters birthday is August 25th, and so generating an “August 23, __, 25/Date Sequence” pattern cluster…, a prompt to bridge the August 24 gap.  

On the August 24th wiki page, using the formula as per usual, we arrive at two who fit

• 1999 – Mary Jane Croft, American actress (b. 1916)
• 2000 – Andy Hug, Swiss martial artist and kick-boxer (b. 1964)

• Andreas "Andy" Hug (7 September 1964 – 24 August 2000)
• Mary Jane Croft (February 15, 1916 – August 24, 1999) 

Mary making “mar May”, and Andy making “and” …, hmmm “mar May and hug”.  The thing about my name is that it means “great, be able and have power” in origin: from PIE root *magh- "to be able, have power." ; root *meg- "great" (cognate with Latin magnus: 

It’s interesting to note the similarity of May to Megan (who is mentioned in my previous post).  Our name it appears is also related to Maia (Roman Goddess).  I noticed the following on the Maia (Goddess) wiki page: 

• 66 Maja, asteroid

Hmmm, I’m 66 years old!? And Asteroid relates to “sky” that connects with my previous post: 

• Larry Bensky (May 1, 1937 – May 19, 2024)

 The first thing to stand out is the cryptic communication in his name— “Ben sky”… with “Ben” (aka Big Ben the clock) meaning “time”, and sky meaning “sky/up”— “times up”!!

The “sky” could be pointing at this asteroid,… that we need to investigate further. Note from the asteroids wiki page: 

It was discovered on 9 April 1861, by American astronomer Horace Tuttle at the Harvard College Observatory

Horace Parnell Tuttle (March 17, 1837 – August 16, 1923) 

It’s interesting that the name Horace in origin means “hour, time, season”.  This next excerpt from the Maia 66 wiki page stands out: 

 The official naming citation was mentioned in The Names of the MinorPlanets by Paul Herget in 1955 (H 10).

It’s the name “Paul” that jives— making “pal”, and in fact, both his first and last names generates a cryptic “pal her get”.  Note from his wiki page:  

• Paul Herget (January 30, 1908 – August 27, 1981)

Another name also stands out, making “gorge bon (French for good)”, this likely also factors into the cryptic communication.  

• George Phillips Bond (May 20, 1825 – February 17, 1865) gorge bon

This person also cropped up:

• Harold (Hal) Masursky (December 23, 1922* – August 24, 1990)

Note his date of death is August 24, so a perfect hand of 3, and note the “sky” in his surname, a new “Surnames ending in Sky (x2)” pattern cluster.  I know a Barbar Sawatsky (an arch enemy of mine)… hmmm “swat sky”?!  

Since Harvard College Observatory crops up, I checked out the list of Directors over the years, two of whom fit, making “fed/red: gorge”.  

• Fred Whipple 1955-1973  (November 5, 1906 – August 30, 2004) red
• George B. Field 1973-1982 (born October 25, 1929)gorge

And so the cluster expands— “October 25(x13)” pattern cluster.     

I’m reminded of the Sagittarius Dwarf and Milky Way Galaxy’s  that I’ve written about. 

Note from the Sagittarius Dwarf Irregular Galaxy:

The Sagittarius Dwarf Irregular Galaxy (SagDIG) is a dwarf galaxy in the constellation of Sagittarius. (SagDIG should not be confused with the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy, SagDEG, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way discovered decades later in the same constellation.) It lies about 3.4 million light-years away. It was discovered by Cesarsky et al. on a photographic plate taken for the ESO (B) Atlas on 13 June 1977

June 13, the day it was discovered, is also my birthday!!   I turned 20 years old at the time in ‘77. Hmmm, 7 has been a theme as of late with the  

Note the following info on notable persons relating to the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy: 

Gerard Francis Gilmore (born 7 November 1951)

This cropped up:Omega Centauri, and led to  

 Mayall II

A cryptic “May all” 

• Edmond Halley (8 November [O.S. 29 October] 1656 – 25 January 1742 [O.S. 14 January 1741])— alley 
• Jean-Philippe Loys de Cheseaux (4 May 1718 – 30 November 1751) 
• Ian Douglas (William H. Keith born August 8, 1950) pen names: Ian Douglas, Robert Cain and H. Jay Riker. — Ian; can (hmmm, “Robert can”)

Ian and Cain fits—  making “in/an” and “can”.  His birthday, August 8th, is also the birthday of my ex husband and father of our children.   Keith’s wiki page mentions his brother, so we turn to his wiki page: 

• John Andrew Keith (August 31, 1958 – August 7, 1999)

He died one day before the birthday of his brother William.  Interesting… like my previous post that discovers that Trish MacGregor’s sister died one day before her birthday!!  

It funny that we should end with August 31– the birthday of Megan MacGregor!!  

The above re 

• George Phillips Bond (May 20, 1825 – February 17, 1865) gorge bon

Prompts us to go back to the May 20 list of notable deaths to look for someone strategically placed.  We arrive at: 

Thomas W. Long, 94, American politician, member of the New Jersey General Assembly (1983–1986)

He must have been recently added because I don’t recollect seeing him, otherwise I would have investigated for sure— given Thomas means “twin” in origin.  As well note his last name re — remove the “n” makes “log”. And note his middle initial re “W” aka “double you/ewe”.  Note from his wiki page:  

Thomas W. Long (October 26, 1929 – May 20, 2024)

His birthday is an addition to the “Off by One” pattern cluster.  The following are notable persons mentioned on Longs wiki page: 

• Thomas J. Deverin (July 7, 1921 – December 23, 2010)
• Raymond J. Lesniak (born May 7, 1946)
• George Hudak (March 10, 1935 – November 4, 1996) gorge

A “May 7, __, July 7/7th Day, Month Sequence” pattern cluster.  Interestingly, we have had a 7th day cluster in the works recently, where the June 7th birthday of Trish MacGregor had cropped up!!  

Another person on the May 20th list of notable deaths fits: 

Kevin James Burns (7 July 1960 – 20 May 2024)

Note the “jams burn/buns” in his name… and another July 7!! Following leads on his wiki page we arrive at: 

• Martin Bladen Hawke, 7th Baron Hawke (16 August 1860 – 10 October 1938)
• Ian Bruce Leggat (born 7 June 1930) 
• Lawrence Burnard Reade (21 October 1930 – 21 August 2019)
• Graeme Edward Lowans (8 May 1934 – 19 February 2014)
• Colin Cameron McVicar (3 June 1916 – 17 February 1987) 
• David Victor Spence (born 8 January 1930)

Their names generate a cryptic “laden/hawk; in/an; read; loans; coin; avid/pence”.  Three of the words are money related— loans, coin, pence.  My stepson Gillman has the same birthday as Spence.  

• Oleg Gudymo (11 September 1944 – 8 May 2024) leg
• Paul Holmes (18 February 1968 – May 2024) pal homes/holes
• James Earl Johnson (March 31, 1938 – May 8, 2024) jams ear
• James George Lavery (April 1931 – 8 May 2024) jams gorge
• Frank Paul Simoneaux (October 30, 1933 – May 8, 2024) rank pal 
• Wang Geng (11 October 1927 – 8 May 2024) wag wan

The September 11th is not a good sign… or the “leg” connection.  I’m reminded of Rob and Megan MacGregor’s broken leg synchro (as they call it)!!  

Recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2024 site: 

Janusz Andrzej Mazurek (25 October 1943 – 23 May 2024)

Born October 25th is an addition to the “Timely” and “October 25(x14)” pattern clusters.  

Janus is the name of  two headed God— God of gateways.  In the list of notables with this name, the first to stand out is given the 1999 and his surname beginning with “Magnus”… mighty… Megan… May!! 

Janusz Magnuski (1933–1999), Polish author and military historian

 Janusz Magnuski (August 12, 1933– November 6, 1999)

These notables who passed away on May 23, 2024 have names that fit, and so form a cryptic communication: 

• Marc Camille Chaimowicz, 77, French artist — mar
• Ángeles Flórez Peón, 105, Spanish socialist militant, writer/Civil War veteran— angels pen
• P. N. Patil, 71, Indian politician, Maharashtra MLA (since 2019)— pail

So, “mar angels pen pail”.  It is cryptic … and perhaps we’re also to remove the “i” in “pail”… and so making “pal”—- “mar angels pen pal”… “ma angel pen pal”.
