"Sumer is - Remus like a roman God and twin to Romulus. Remus and Romulus were the founders of the ancient Rome." And Thomas means 'twin' and we have Remus Lupin the werewolf in Harry Potter. Romulus and Remus were raised by a wolf! Interesting I followed your lead and on Wikipedia 5hey write this. :- In Harry Potter, one of the characters is named after Remus—Remus John Lupin. And at one point uses the code name Romulus. Professor Lupin is a teacher of defence against the dark arts, and is in fact a werewolf. This reflects the Remus of Roman mythology, who was raised by a wolf. In fact, the name Lupin comes from the Latin word lupus, meaning wolf. |

"I mostly post using my intuitive nature. That's why you see new directions and info keeps coming out. I get the intuitive info I post it with the urgency." Although I do have flashes of inspiration and use my intuition, mostly I look at information then see patterns and connections. It is often your ideas that start my researches, so keep up the good work! I am amazed at what we are finding. UnseenliI am really thankful you get inspiration and you look at information then see connections in that way we complement each other. I have alot of intuition and links which comes to me as I cook or showers or watch TV and then I will look at infor like Harry Potter or history books and they confirm that. But mostly I dont know what the connection mean or where they lead to and I just write here some contradictory. Do you remember before our cc forum was pulled down and I mentioned to you that what will happen to our info when and if someone pulls it down. You told me you saved your info. I was away for a while and when I came back our cc forum was down and it broke me and I spent weeks looking for you online and on David website I joined there but I didnt see you. But I am happy now we are able to recover some of the info.What I mean with private is I fear we are getting some very interesting links and connections and some people may want to destroy our site and so am really looking how we can protect ourselves and our discussions and discoveries. I dont mind my info being public.However now we are doing great and home it stays so. But if our forum should attacked where do we meet up or is there a backup plsce we can save our info. I have a phone so cant save much |

I will just leave it with the Babylon T-shirt then. It is too much to go into deeply. I didn't realise that it was a champagne bottle. That's understandable. We can always go back to it later. It's possibly of help that I've watched Babylon 5. It's a really good series. Could there be connections? Maybe. For now, I think moving on is likely shrewd.  |

There is an Asian game called the tower of God In it there is a story of Mule Family who are not accepted because they are not pure.

The other meaning is oannes is a short name from the German way of pronouncing John Johannes. Saint Johannes etc I think with time we will see what fits more Oh John the Baptist or Fisher of Men.

As we have noticed there just to many roads which lead to Rome or Remus or romulus |

It could me the luptons are actually the wolfves And the blood dog watching over little George was a wolf or defender from -dark arts- as Harry Potter would say. All this makes sense now. Because of the wolves in the middltons family tree they were accepted in the family. In Harry Potter. John Lupin Johannes the wolf or oannes ; mule wolf? Or God wolf Now it makes sence of wulfowitz wolf of witz Now in family trees they look for signs of Wolfs, mules and dark arts |

There are many people called Botha. Even so, the name of the gastro-pub is very symbolic indeed.
I will not be making many posts for a day or two, but there is a lot more to come.

Pigs ear -the plant and Harry Potter
____________________
Cotyledon orbiculata, commonly known as pig's ear or round-leafed navel-wort, is a South African succulent plant belonging to the Cotyledon genus.
UseC. orbiculata has a number of medicinal uses. In South Africa, the fleshy part of the leaf is applied to warts and corns. Heated leaves are used as poultices for boils and other inflammations. Single leaves may be eaten as a vermifuge and the juice has been used to treat epilepsy.[2]
However, the leaves contain a bufanolide called cotyledontoxin, which is toxic to sheep, goats, horses, cattle, poultry, and dogs, causing a condition known as cotyledonosis.[5]
In Harry Potter Succulent devil
________________________
Is that…Devil's Snare?" Harry asked shakily. Voldemort was going to strangle him with a plant? That seemed rather weird, even for Voldemort.
"It seems you aren't entirely without a brain, Potter," Voldemort smirked. "This is Succulent Devil, a cousin of Devil's Snare. It has a rather…interesting talent." He trailed his fingers over one of the longer vines. The vine shot out and captured his wrist, only releasing him when Voldemort tapped the vine with his wand. "It can be controlled to do whatever I please." Harry stared at the plant with dread. Voldemort twitched his wand and the plant began to grow, its vines trailing toward Harry." book Harry potter
The pigs ear plant is called octupus or silver crown or white lady.
It has orange, red, yellow colors; silver, whitish green look.
Here is importancr of colours in Harry Potter
One of my good friends from high school is currently studying to be a Graphic Arts major. This past semester, he took a class entitled “Color Theory,” which, as he described it to me, is the study of how colors can be used in art to represent or elicit certain emotions or traits. Color theory is most used in Harry Potter analyses in some of the “Harry/Lily Potter’s eye color” discussions, but I thought of something else to look at instead: House Colors. Just to refresh your memory, here are the colors of each house:
Gryffindor: red and gold
Hufflepuff: yellow and black
Ravenclaw: blue and bronze
Slytherin: green and silver
The Metallic Colors First let’s look at the metallic colors: gold (Gryffindor), silver (Slytherin), and bronze (Ravenclaw). As many of you have probably recognized, these are the colors of the medals given at most sporting events. Gold, the first place prize, has been given to the Gryffindors, while Slytherin and Ravenclaw are second and third place, respectively. I know many of you would argue that this isn’t significant, that JKR is not intentionally ranking the houses from best to worst. But I would have to disagree.

Succulent plants.
Pigs ear or cotyledon orbiculata is Succulent plant.
Wiki: In botany, succulent plants, also known as succulents, are plants that have some parts that are more than normally thickened and fleshy, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. The word "succulent" comes from the Latin word sucus, meaning juice, or sap.[1]
In Harry Potter ; succulent devil could mean devils juice or sapping devil literally supping energy or juice from others.
Does the pigs ear pub original south African juice or devils juice or succulent powerful juice for spells or healing medicine or little south African souls to be sapped like p- gate.
So are all the new people flooding to pigs ear pub there to get their juices.
Is the Botha family the importers of the Devils bone and juice.
Well it could all be just coincidence.
That succulent plants are called devils juices or backbone.

Peppa Pig meets the Queen
Pigs, rabbits and the Queen. This could go in the pig thread, but here is probably the best place: “Now the Queen is set to make a guest appearance as a cartoon character in the phenomenally successful children’s show Peppa Pig. The royal guest star is even seen joining in Peppa's favourite activity, donning her wellies and jumping in muddy puddles – with a tiara on her head…. In the episode, Peppa's friend, Miss Rabbit, is selected to receive an award for her hard work and brings along her friends to Buckingham Palace for her once-in-a-lifetime experience.” Miss Rabbit does a lot of jobs in the series, including rescue helicopter pilot – the latter sounds familiar! (It was Prince William’s old job.) Read more: www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2139003/Peppa-pig-meets-Queen-Monarch-joins-cast-cartoon-special-Jubilee-episode.html#ixzz3v4rqkOEW  I am seeing symbolism everywhere now: maybe I need to take a break. The rabbits’ ears look like 3 x 11 or 33! There are 13 small animals. I can see the twin pillars/towers, the tree of life and the tree of knowledge, snake-like undulations…

Queen Victoria’s gluttony
I have been feeling under the weather, with little appetite. Reading about Queen Victoria and the huge amounts of food she used to devour makes me feel worse! The good old DM has collected a lot of information about how she ignored her doctors’ advice and gorged on food. They give many examples of what this greedy Queen used to eat. Prince Albert was abstemious at table, although he liked a boar’s head from time to time, but she indulged herself all day every day. This was not just comfort eating as consolation for Prince Albert’s death either: “She was just 11 when her Uncle Leopold (the King of the Belgians) warned her that ‘a certain little princess eats a little too much and a little too fast’. She took no notice, and after she became queen at the age of 18, there was nobody who could get her to mend her ways. Not even the influential and charming Lord Melbourne, her first adviser. He warned her about over-eating and putting on weight and told her she should eat only when she was actually hungry. But I’m always hungry, she replied, a typical teenager long before the word or the concept was coined.When he suggested she should exercise to keep down her weight, she flounced, told him that exercise made her tired, and had her dresses let out instead.”  Read more: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4546434/Queen-Victoria-ate-six-course-dinners.html#ixzz531VmckPj Details from the above article were taken from The Greedy Queen by Annie Gray, published by Profile Books at £16.99.

Boar’s heads and more royal gluttony
I learned from the DM article above that boar's head with aspic jelly was a favourite dish of Prince Albert:  The above picture is a very old one. According to a former personal chef to the Queen, the royals are continuing the tradition of having a boar’s head at Christmas at Sandringham: “When I was there it was traditional, Old English cuisine: a stuffed boar’s head on platters, ox tongue and boiled and roasted hams, salmon and game. Potatoes tossed in hollandaise sauce, sliced tomatoes or green leaves suffice as an accompaniment ....”  He gives much more information about what the royals eat over the holidays. Just one small example: “Pudding is usually chocolate-based to please the Queen, such as a Chocolate marquise or Chocolate perfection pie, a multi-layered creation made up of cream, meringue and cinnamon...”. Read more: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5186803/What-Royals-REALLY-Sandringham-Christmas.html#ixzz536Atvykz It all sounds very self-indulgent. One commenter says he hopes they choke on it! By the way, Ed Sheeran made a music video called Perfect.

Botha is a very common name on South Africa. It means something like 'son of the leader' and is not connected to Botham.
Botham means the lowest part, or bottom, of the valley: Neville Longbottom!

Ed Sheeran reads Harry Potter
From July 2017: “He was believed to be the latest A-Lister to quit Twitter after becoming sick of negative comments being hurled his way.But it seems that Ed Sheeran won't be leaving the micro-blogging site, as he has slammed reports he was set to quit the popular networking tool after receiving cruel abuse. Taking to social media late on Wednesday he cleared a few things up, insisting he wasn't going anywhere, saying instead: " I haven't quit anything, I'm just not reading anything, except Harry Potter." www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/i-havent-quit-anything-ed-10747428

Ed Sheeran, Soho House and a wild boar
The Restaurant Manager at The Wild Boar in the Lake District had this to say about one of her previous positions: “When I moved back to the UK, I started at Soho House, a creative media members club and it’s here where I worked up the management ladder. I got to look after people like Morgan Freeman and Ed Sheeran to name a couple. It was also hard work, 60-70 hour weeks, but I had an amazing team and we supported each other. englishlakes.co.uk/english-lakes-blog/the-wild-boar/wild-boar-restaurant-manager-introduces-barrel-aged-cocktails/Soho House of course is where Harry met Meghan, allegedly.

Prince Charles and climate change
“Charles the environmental saint and King!” Lavendel there was a time when I respected and admired Prince Charles because of his promotion of organic food, homeopathy and environmental causes. I thought that he was one of the best members of the royal family because I didn’t know anything about the awful people he associates with, people who may have some kind of a hold over him. I didn’t know either that his business interests could benefit from his lobbying activities: “Prince Charles campaigned to alter climate change agreements without disclosing his estate’s financial interest in such a rule change, leaks from the Paradise Papers indicate. In 2007, the Prince of Wales reportedly bought shares worth $113,500 (£83,600), in a Bermuda-based company run by one of his best friends, Hugh van Cutsem. That friend was also a director of Sustainable Forestry Management, the board of which invested invested in land to protect it from deforestation. The purchase of the shares was regarded as highly sensitive, The Guardian reports, and members of Sustainable Forestry Management’s board were reportedly sworn to secrecy about the Prince’s involvement.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/prince-charles-paradise-papers-latest-conflict-interest-offshore-finances-money-investment-a8042736.htmlHe may not have known what was being bought in his name of course.

Prince Charles, Kids Company and Camila Batmanghelidjh
I took a great interest in the Kids Company case and made many posts about it on the CC forum. Most of them are not relevant to this forum, but this one is: “PRINCE Charles reportedly suggested vulnerable children have their brains experimented on and helped scandal-hit charity Kids Company get thousands of pounds of funds. But the heir to the throne has now gone very quiet over his links to the charity’s founder Camila Batmanghelidjh, despite knowing her for almost 20 years. Back in 2002, four years after they were first introduced, Charles sent Batmanghelidjh a bundle of 25 so-called ‘clinical papers' looking at the impact of abuse on brain development. The Prince’s view – that a child’s brain would alter depending on external factors – put him ‘ahead of his time’, Charles claimed.
