Exploring Sacred Geometry: Unlocking the Mysteries of Divine Proportions 🌸🔺🔵◻️
Hello darlings 🥰
Today, let's delve into the fascinating world of sacred geometry and unravel the profound secrets hidden within its intricate patterns. Sacred geometry is a universal language that transcends cultures and time, reflecting the inherent order and harmony of the cosmos. It offers a window into the interconnectedness of all things and provides a profound tool for spiritual growth and understanding. So, let's embark on a journey into the realm of sacred geometry together!
🌸 The Flower of Life: 
At the heart of sacred geometry lies the Flower of Life, a mesmerizing pattern formed by overlapping circles. It is a symbol of creation and the interconnectedness of all living beings. Meditate upon its symmetrical beauty and allow its energy to awaken your connection to the divine.
🔺 The Power of Triangles: 
Triangles hold immense power in sacred geometry. The equilateral triangle represents balance and harmony, while the upward-pointing triangle symbolizes fire, passion, and spiritual ascension. The downward-pointing triangle represents water, intuition, and the divine feminine. Incorporate triangles into your spiritual practice to tap into these energies.
Tumblr media
🔵 The Magic of Circles: 
Circles are ancient symbols of wholeness, unity, and eternity. They represent the cyclical nature of life and the infinite possibilities within the universe. Meditate upon circles, draw mandalas, or use circular objects in your rituals to connect with the energy of completeness and divine unity.
◻️ The Power of Squares: 
Squares symbolize stability, structure, and the material realm. They represent the four elements—Earth, Air, Fire, and Water—and provide a foundation for manifesting desires. Work with squares in your sacred space or incorporate them into your crystal grids to establish a strong and stable energetic framework.
✨ The Golden Ratio: 
The Golden Ratio, often represented by the number phi (Φ), is a mathematical proportion found abundantly in nature and art. It is a ratio believed to embody perfect harmony and beauty. Explore the Golden Ratio in nature, art, and architecture and contemplate its presence in the world around you.
🌳 Sacred Symbols: 
Discover sacred symbols derived from sacred geometry, such as the Sri Yantra, Metatron's Cube, or the Tree of Life. These symbols are potent energetic tools that can be used for meditation, manifestation, and spiritual alignment. Study their meanings and explore how they resonate with your journey.
🔷 Crystal Grids and Mandalas: 
Combine the power of sacred geometry with the energy of crystals by creating crystal grids or mandalas. Arrange crystals in sacred geometric patterns to amplify their energies and intentions. Draw mandalas inspired by sacred geometry to express your inner connection with the divine.
◻️ Sound and Sacred Geometry: 
Explore the relationship between sound and sacred geometry. Discover the resonant frequencies associated with specific geometric shapes and how sound vibrations can harmonize and heal. Experiment with sound healing modalities, such as chanting, singing bowls, or tuning forks, to enhance your experience with sacred geometry.
✨ Meditation and Contemplation: 
Engage in meditative practices centered around sacred geometry. Visualize geometric patterns, focus on specific shapes, or use sacred geometry artwork as a focal point for your meditation. Allow these visualizations to calm your mind, expand your consciousness, and deepen your spiritual connection.
Tumblr media
Sacred geometry is a gateway to understanding the divine order that permeates the universe. It invites us to recognize the inherent beauty and interconnectedness of all things. Embrace the language of sacred geometry, and allow it to guide you on a transformative journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth.

Guide to Crystal Grids
Crystal Grids are an incredibly powerful and beautiful way to manifest your intentions. They are also powerful healing tools. The power of a crystal grid comes from the combined energies of the crystals you use, how you lay them out, and the intentions you set. Basically, a crystal grid is a special arrangement of crystals and stones, used with intention, to manifest a desired result. Keep in mind that the universe likes to provide us with what we need, not just what we want. If you would like it to come to fruition, it is best to focus on manifesting a need vs a want.
Crystal Grids can be used in a variety of ways: in healing, manifesting, ritual work, meditation, intention setting practices or simply as a creative endeavor.
When it comes to crystal grids, there may be many different guides on how best to do them, but I find the most powerful healing and manifesting comes when you go with your intuition. Some people create crystal grids on a cloth, board, or piece of paper with Sacred Geometry on them, as they believe this increases the power of the grid. Others like to include pieces of nature, like leaves, shells, or flowers in their grid. Don't let a lack of crystals stop you!
Many people pick crystals based on the properties that are aligned with what they would like to manifest. Others will intuitively choose what crystals to work with. If you don't have a lot to choose from, don't worry. You can still work with what you've got, it is the setting of your own intentions that is most powerful.
The possibilities are endless, and it is really important to trust in your own intuition when creating your crystal grid.
Activating your Crystal Grid
To activate a grid once it has been laid, use a crystal wand or the power of your mind to join up all the points, including the keystone. If the grid does not have connecting lines to each crystal, take the wand (or your mind) into the central point and out again, touching each crystal in turn and weaving the energy into being. Finally, place the wand on the keystone and restate your intention.
Keeping your Crystal Grid active
Some grids, like protective or transmuting, need daily checking, while outdoor grids or those set to attract abundance can happily be left alone for a week. To keep your grid active, restate your intention, cleanse the crystals if necessary, and remove or add further crystals if appropriate. But don't interfere with your grid too frequently, or you won't really give it a chance to work.
Maintain your Crystal Grid
Don't forget to cleanse your crystals frequently to remove stagnant or unwanted energies. The easiest and safest methods include:
Smudging with incense, sage, or Palo Santo
The use of Singing Bowls
You can use running water, moon, or sun - but you need to be careful with these methods as they are not suitable for all crystals.

A Purely Selfish Action
I've had the show running in the background while I've been working and this line tripped across my ear and made me realise this is how/why Aziraphale is going to save the world.
He knows the Second Coming is on its way and this time he's front and centre for the ride. The last time it was Armageddon (Antichrist Edition), Crowley appealed to Aziraphale's love of human things to get him on side: food, music, shows, nice wine.
Yes, Aziraphale has other reasons for standing his ground as well, but when it comes down to it, he is selfish. He wants to keep his things and his people safe and comfortable. He likes to be around his people and his things and being promoted to manage the Second Coming has cut him off from all of it. From his bookshop. From his books. From his little part of Soho. From his coffee shops and restaurants and the Ritz. And, most importantly, from Crowley.
There's a lot of mess surrounding their final interaction, both of them speaking at cross-purposes and actively not understanding why the other is doing what they are doing, but there can be no mistake that there is the love there. And I have absolutely zero doubts that the Metatron used Crowley as leverage against Aziraphale in ways we didn't see - there's a reason we were only shown parts of that conversation.
In Aziraphale's mind, if they're on the same side, then Crowley is safe. He's thought that since S1. "Heaven will win, of course". "You were an angel once". When Crowley rejects that, it is precisely a rejection of that - Heaven and angeldom and stepping back into that rut. Crowley makes it crystal clear that he would be happy with just Aziraphale. The love is there, from both sides. Instead of one saying "come away with me" we got the double-whammy "come away with me".
I'm absolutely certain that being stuck back in Heaven is Aziraphale's worst nightmare, especially without his emotional support demon. And the bigger the threat of Armageddon 2.0 grows, the more he realises what he will lose.
I don't doubt that any threat to Crowley will activate every Guardian instinct in that fluffy angel's head. Aziraphale has spent many a happy time letting Crowley rescue him from dangerous situations, but if anyone - anyone - threatens harm to his demon, Aziraphale Will Not Care For It.
I am so here for the territorial fierce Guardian of the Eastern Gate who puts his foot down and says "No, actually, this is my world, that is my city, that is my demon, and you are not destroying them, thank you very much. If you want to get to them you have to go through me and thank you very much for giving me all the powers of the highest of Archangels :)"

Everything You Need to Know About Crystals: Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli (The Sacred Stone of Wisdom and Power)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Color:  Deep blue flecked with gold
Rarity: Easy to obtain, can be expensive for high quality
Hardiness: 5.5
Type: Isometric/ Metamorphic
Chakra Association: Throat, Brow, Crown
Angels: Sahaqiel
Deities: Nuit, Venus, Isis, Sin
Astrological Signs: Sagittarius, Capricorn
Element: Water, Air
Planet: Venus
Origin: Afghanistan, India, Myanmar, Pakistan, Russia, USA, Italy, Egypt, Middle East, Chile
Powers: Amplification of Power, Reverse Baneful Magic, Connection to the Spirit World, Protection, Wisdom, Mental and Spiritual Blockage
Crystals It Works Well With: Phantom quartz and Purple Tourmaline
How It is Created: Lapis lazuli is a complex mineral made up of lazurite, pyrite, and calcite. The lazurite gives it its deep blue color (along with the sulfur that’s in its matrix), the pyrite gives it its golden veins, and the calcite gives it its white specks.
History: The name comes from the Latin word lapis, meaning stone, and the word lazuli which means blue. It was first mined in Afghanistan but it has existed even before then. The Egyptians used lapis lazuli in protective amulets and other jewelry. It was used famously by Egyptian nobility, even its powdered form being used as eyeshadow. Lapis lazuli is said to produce power and wisdom and is associated with the Egyptian goddesses, Isis and Nuit. Romans would ingest the powder in food and drinks as an aphrodisiac and it was also used as an antidote for poisons. It is said that the ring the angel gave King Solomon to control his demon legion of workers was made of lapis lazuli.
What It Can Do:
Open the third eye and balance the throat chakra
Stimulates enlightenment and enhances dream work and psychic abilities
Facilitates spiritual journeys and stimulates personal and spiritual power
Releases stress, bringing deep peace
Protective stone that contacts spirit guardians
Recognizes psychic attacks, blocks them, and return the energy back to the source
Teaches the power of the spoken word and can reverse curses
Alleviates pain, especially with migraines
Overcomes depression, benefits the respiratory and nervous systems, cleanse organs and the immune system
Harmonizes the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels such as: lack of purpose, disease, and depression
Encourages taking charge in your life
Can amplify powerful thoughts and stimulate higher faculties of one’s mind
Bonds relationships in love, friendship and aid in expressing feelings
How to Get the Best Out Of: With a lot of these visionary stones, I am always going to recommend a bracelet or necklace. Anything that is close to the bloodstream or heart will help the power of the stone connect to you best with these types of stones.
How to Cleanse and Charge: Using incenses or a singing bowl to cleanse lapis lazuli. Lay it on a clear quartz disc or bowl over night under the moon to recharge it. Do not put under the sunlight. It will discolor the stone. (I made this mistake and was heavily scolded by Isis afterwards)
Crystal Grid:
Healthy Body (Sacred Geometry: Metatron’s Cube or Sri Yantra)
Mantra “I trust my body’s ability to heal itself”
Center stone: Quartz sphere
Secondary Stones: Bloodstone, Carnelian, Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli, Quartz
Moon Phase: Dark Moon
Day: Saturday

I've been working on this post for a while and I am running out of time! So here goes: Today I want to talk about the dark side of Good Omens. This is a long post, sorry about that, but there are so many twists and turns. We all love GO, the romance, the banter, the comedy, the humanity of it. But it does a have a subtle dark side underneath which is usually overlooked. It has to do with the race to stop Armageddon, how their different views brought them to the bandstand conflict, and how Aziraphale ultimately came around at the airbase. It was a rocky road. In the book, when Crowley receives the basket and is on his way to the hospital, he has a thought. We didn't see this in the show so it may or may not have happened there, but it happened in the book. Ultimately Crowley didn't go through with it, but it did occur to him.
Tumblr media
So Crowley kept driving and eventually came up with Plan A: Raise the antichrist together behind Hell's back. Surely as a normal, balanced human being the kid wouldn't want to destroy the world, easy and straightforward, right?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aziraphale's orders are to keep Crowley under observation and so he does. But he also tells Heaven he will "influence the child towards the light". Heaven humors him as long as he keeps doing his job: monitoring Crowley and the antichrist.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
However as the scheduled time gets closer, Crowley realizes that the only way to be 100% certain there won't be an Armageddon is to not have an antichrist at all (like 11 years ago). And he brings up Plan B: Kill the child, for the first time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aziraphale didn't like the idea of killing Warlock outright if there were other options. So he came up with Plan C: stop the dog. That... was very short-lived.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And here is where things will start to get murky. While both know they need to find the antichrist, they don't really know what to do afterwards.
Tumblr media
Crowley probably thinks that whatever they do, they'll do it together, that Aziraphale will be on board with it. Aziraphale on the other hand still thinks Heaven are "the good guys" so he separately comes up with Plan D: Tell Heaven where the antichrist is. If Heaven gets rid of Adam, all will be fine. Heaven knows better and thy are going to win anyway. At this point, Aziraphale is fine with eliminating the antichrist, he just doesn't like the idea of doing the deed himself, let Heaven handle it. So he lies to Crowley about finding Adam.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And he lies again about having found the antichrist when they meet at the bandstand. Aziraphale has made his mind. As they talk, Aziraphale's reasons that if Crowley were to kill the child instead of Heaven, it would be a better solution for everybody. Again, he is fine with eliminating the antichrist, but not with doing it himself, Crowley can do it. Should this be a very short lived Plan E?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Crowley on the other hand, just like at the Crystal Palace, insists that Aziraphale do the deed. Aziraphale would not have it. Either Crowley does it or Heaven does it, but not him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The book is more clear about how Crowley is afraid of Hell's punishment if he fails. In Crowley's mind, if Aziraphale kills the child it would be ok, Aziraphale gets brownie points in Heaven and Crowley gets punished for maybe only being incompetent.
Tumblr media
But if Crowley kills the child, he would be in really BIG trouble, punished as the worst traitor there could be. (this quote comes from a later passage but it is the sentiment that counts)
Tumblr media
Both agree that the antichrist needs to go. But Crowley won't kill the child and Aziraphale won't kill the child either. So they come to an impasse.
Aziraphale proceeds with his Plan D anyway and his conversation with the Metatron goes as pear-shaped as could. And this is where he decides to talk to Crowley and reconcile. That didn't work out either.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After a short trip to Heaven, Aziraphale finds himself on Earth and ready to follow Crowley's Plan B. However he still doesn't want to do it himself, so this time he is recruiting humans to do it (Plan F!). Humans are good at killing other humans, they have been doing it for a long time ;)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Said humans are on board with it until they realize that the antichrist is an 11-year old boy and Plan F goes up in smoke.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Crowley is not giving up though and Aziraphale, fully committed now that every other option failed, follows Crowley's lead. Third time is the charm, right? Aziraphale doesn't hesitate anymore and shoots when Crowley urges him to do so.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And, as we know Madame Tracy saves the day and Adam (although for all we know Adam is bulletproof at this point ;) ) So yeah, interwoven with all the fun there are these glimpses of hidden darkness, our demon who keeps pushing Aziraphale to kill the antichrist for lack of a better plan and our angel who doesn't want to taint his hands and keeps looking for other people to do the deed instead. There is certainly a lot more nuance to this, Crowley and Aziraphale are not selfish, detached entities who end human lives willy-nilly, not at all. But in a desperate hour, they will, if that means the survival of the whole world. As Crowley put it back at the Crystal Palace "one life against the universe". He was ready to sacrifice that life from the very beginning. Aziraphale meandered his way to get there, but at the end he got there and shot at the child.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It is certainly very fortunate that they were not very competent at this. It would have been awful killing Warlock and then realizing he wasn't the antichrist after all. And Adam is a nice and smart kid who found his very own human solution to the problem without intentionally shedding any blood. They both deserve to live, and our walking disasters deserve to get their world and their humans without having to pay for it with the life of a child.

Summary: Crowley realizes that the only way to save Aziraphale might be to follow his lead.
☆~☆~☆~☆~☆
Crowley sits at the edge of the sea. Chalk-white cliffs stretch to either side of him. Salt-heavy wind tugs at his hair, his clothes, and he closes his eyes and breathes it deep into his lungs.
You could come back. To heaven.
His eyes snap open, yellow irises blown wide, erasing the humanity from his gaze. He bares his teeth, jaw clenching so hard it aches as the memories assault him, the same conversation on endless repeat behind his eyes. He grabs the first thing his hand touches, a large black stone, and hurls it. He watches it soar out over the ocean before it falls with barely a splash in the crashing waves.
"Damn it," he hisses, dropping his head into his hands, gripping fistfuls of his auburn hair until his scalp begins to protest. Seven days since Aziraphale left. It might as well have been months, years, for how the time seems to have stretched before him, well and truly alone for the first time in six millennia. His entire being aches vaguely, as though the absence of the angel tore something from him, ripped a hole somewhere within. It's the kind of wound that he knows won't heal. Not with time, or distance. Not with any distraction or attempt to forget.
He finally drops his hands back into his lap and sighs, a bone-deep, weary sigh that feels like it's dragging his very soul to the surface. He counters it with another deep inhale of the ocean-soaked air. When his eyes open again, the serpent has receded. He lifts his gaze to the sky, a muted blue studded with gray clouds that threaten rain.
"What were you thinking, angel," Crowley asks the sky in a hoarse voice, gravelly with disuse. He thinks of Aziraphale, in heaven, surrounded by the same feathered dicks that would have seen him exterminated in Hellfire, working with the damn Metatron, and his heart threatens to eject itself straight from his chest. "What the hell were you thinking?"
His every single instinct screams to Save Him. March straight into Heaven's hallowed halls and find the angel, throw him over his shoulder and take the elevator directly back to Earth, SAYONARA SUCKERS.
But he can't. His angel doesn't want to be saved. Not this time.
If I'm in charge... I can make a difference.
"Do you really think so," Crowley speculates idly to no one, "You think one angel, even an Archangel, even The Supreme Archangel, can stand in the way of the machine? Derail The Great Plan?" He shakes his head. Aziraphale is many things, intelligent to a fault, determined to the end. And the truth of it is that he's actually not an idiot. But he can't possibly believe... not really...
But he does, doesn't he. Because Aziraphale also has faith. And hope. And he does believe, believes with his whole soul, that there is goodness at the heart of Heaven, if he can just chisel through the thousands of years of crystallized corruption to get to it. To make a better world. A world where Heaven isn't standing over it - over them - with a flaming sword, ready to end everything.
A world where, maybe, they could be together.
Together. That's what he had said.
We can be together.
I need you.
Crowley grasps those words in his mind, clings to them like a lifeline, and holds them tight. Those words feel pure. They feel like truth. Aziraphale had to have known he would never return to Heaven. But he asked anyway. And he left despite Crowley's refusal to join him. Why?
Because, Crowley reminds himself, Aziraphale is an angel of principle. An angel who fights for what he believes in. Aziraphale is up there, fighting, right now. Crowley's hands tighten into fists. He feels his body shaking with the effort of trying to remain calm. It's not working.
Aziraphale is fighting, even though that meant he had to leave everything behind... Even though it meant leaving Crowley behind... He did it because it was the right thing to do.
Crowley gets to his feet abruptly. Aziraphale is fighting, and what is he doing? Maybe he can't be an angel himself, and maybe he can't steal his angel back from Heaven. But he doesn't have to sit around and wait for The End Of The World to happen. There is something he can do. If Aziraphale is determined to try to take down Upstairs from the inside, why can't he do the same from Downstairs? After all, Hell is absent its Grand Duke, and he always knew he would look damn good in a crown.
Crowley lets the Serpent take hold of him once again, golden eyes glowing, teeth sharpening into venom-soaked fangs. Snake skin accents his arms, creeps up the back of his neck, and his fingers are tipped with black claws. Finally, he allows his ink-black wings to unfurl. If he's going to be a Demon Prince of Hell, he had better look the part.
The wind gusts around him, and suddenly there is no one on the cliff overlooking the sea, and no sign anyone ever was, save a circle of scorched earth to mark the descension of a demon to Hell.
☆~☆~☆~☆~☆
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed this foray into my imagination.
This started as "Crowley sits on a cliff" and this is where it went. Which was a totally different direction than I'd initially imagined. I guess what it comes down to is that, while I love some Angsty Crowley, I don't want him to mope forever. And I don't want him to be stuck thinking Aziraphale left because he didn't love him. He knows Az better than that! And, to be honest, I LOVE the idea of Crowley as Az's celestial opposite, Grand Duke of Hell, taking on the system from both sides. Dunno. Sounds fun to me.

Stellar Gateway Chakra
The illuminated Stellar Gateway chakra is the most fantastical sight, when viewed from the angelic realms. As our guides, angels and other enlightened beings from 3rd Heaven and higher observe our progress, they have the pleasure of watching our light bodies blossom with our soul essence. An incredibly bright light shines from our fifth-dimensional chakra column as it draws the highest vibrations from all corners of the universe.
Everyone's chakra system is as unique as a finger print, emitting light of their individual soul mission for that lifetime.
Purpose of Stellar Gateway Chakra: Connects the individual soul in a physical body to the source of light from which they originate. This is the star or planet of origin. Previously, the crown chakra was in charge of receiving and processing the inflow of information given to us. However, as we progress into the fifth dimensional way of living, the Stellar Gateway takes this role. When it becomes active at the beginning of our ascension process, all our energy systems start to reroute their flow of light and power.
The Stellar Gateway transcends all dimensional boundaries of time and space. Its job is to provide us with frequencies that extend way beyond our current physical capacity. It is capable of accepting light from a ninth-dimensional source and stepping it down to a level that is comfortable for us. Because of this, many souls are making spiritual progress more quickly than they anticipated.
Color: Golden-Orange at the beginning of development and then as it develops it becomes a brighter hue as it is filled with frequencies of Christ Consciousness.
Location: 18in (45cm) above head
Archangel: Metatron
Our soul may send out requests for light and information and our Stellar Gateway will fulfill these. It also seeks out cosmic information for out soul growth. It helps to draw in new experiences for our learning process here on Earth.
Our Sun has a much greater purpose than to provide us with light and heat. It physically steps down ninth-dimensional light to a level with which Earth can cope, acting as a transformer for the higher light codes as they are distributed to us.
Planet: Mars and it's ascended aspect Nigellay. This planet radiates the light of the peaceful spiritual leader and its influence also helps to reflect and amplify the light.
In additional, our personal Stellar Gateway chakra is connected to the planetary Stellar Gateway chakra in the Arctic. This planetary portal rises in frequency to match the energy fields of Earth. When they rise in frequency, we do too.
How to Develop:
Meditate on the ninth dimensional Gold Ray of Christ to fill your body and seal your sacred space. Breathe this energy into every cell of your being.
Work with Archangel Metatron to fill this area with Christ Consciousness
Crystal: Work with Novaculite (aka Arkansas stone)

Ineffable May 2024, Day 17: Inspector Constable
Rated General Audience
Muriel gently closed the book they'd been balancing on their lap, and ran their hand over the cover.  The distressed human faces printed in shades of gray were such a contrast to the bright rainbow lettering used for the title. The angel noticed how stark the white of their trousers looked behind it, and their gaze wandered over to their equally colorless helmet hanging from the hat rack. From this angle, they could just make out the large badge affixed to the front.
There had been little to do once Mr. Fell had left with the Metatron. Even though they'd so desperately wanted to explore this little piece of Earth, Muriel had been reluctant to leave the shop unattended until they received further instructions as to their new role here. So, they set to learning about this world through what was readily available around them: books. This particular one had shed light on a specific interaction they'd had with the coffee shop human just after their arrival.
Get out. Now.
No wonder Nina had been angry when they'd asked her about her love life. Muriel had been so excited to try out their human disguise in service to Heaven. But after reading about the complicated relationship some humans had with the ones they'd been ordered to emulate, they weren't so sure they wanted to continue wearing it.
Muriel thought hard about what to do. They'd been told to adopt the Inspector Constable persona to observe Mr. Fell and his demon friend, but that didn't seem applicable anymore. Maybe they should miracle their Heavenly uniform? That didn't feel quite right, either. They weren't in Heaven anymore.
Instead, they thought about the way the humans of Whickber Street dressed: a riot of textures and patterns and colors. Muriel didn't know how the humans even managed to create all the different combinations, but they wanted to give it a try.
The book made a thunk as the angel hastily deposited it on Mr. Fell's desk. Their shoes clomped up the stairs, and across the upper landing until they reached a door tucked between two bookcases. They'd discovered Mr. Fell's Room for Human Clothes not long after he'd left, but hadn't explored it. Afterall, they wore the same miracled outfit every day. They'd had no need for that sort of thing ... until now.
The door swung inward at their touch, and a pleasantly sharp, floral scent wafted over them. Muriel took a step forward, not even noticing the way their feet sunk into a luxuriously deep carpet. The twinkling crystal chandelier above them was also ignored. Their entire attention was on the seemingly endless collection of artfully organized and displayed garments.
Wooden shelves and cabinets glowed under tastefully hidden lights. Within them were neatly stacked or hung all manner of shirts, trousers, skirts, dresses, jackets, coats, robes, shoes, boots, sandals, and hats. The styles and shapes ranged from simple to extravagant, but the colors all fell within muted creams, grays, or blues.
A few were displayed on life-sized mannequins inside glass-fronted cases. Muriel walked past one with puffed-out short trousers and a white frill around the neck. Another featured a jacket with a line of buttons down the front and lace spilling out from underneath huge cuffs. These looked special somehow, and they thought it best to leave them alone.
Muriel trailed their fingers along the clothing as they walked, admiring how the different fabrics felt to the touch. They wondered if Mr. Fell would mind if they miracled some to look more like the outfits worn by the humans who walked by the bookshop every day. They were considering what they could try in the color orange when they caught movement in the edge of their vision. They spun around, ready to apologize to Mr. Fell for even thinking about making changes to his...
Muriel stopped short when they realized the person they saw was moving along with them. It took a moment to register that they were standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror.
Is this what my corporation looks like? There were no mirrors in Heaven, and they hadn't really paid attention to the transparent reflections they'd made in the various store front windows they'd encountered outside. Muriel twisted around, trying to see their current body from every angle. They decided they liked the look of it, and really wanted to decorate it with something other than white. Muriel turned their back to the mirror, scanning the clothes in their immediate vicinity for something to modify.
Right, they thought to themself. Time to stop being Inspector Constable. Time to start being ... me.

So no yeah I started Good Omens knowing s2 had a bad ending, knowing I would have suffered and well in that sense it's been up to the expectations.
Now I need to talk about it with someone or I'll explode.
Expecially I want to talk about Aziraphale. I see there's a little hate regarding him for his final choice to go to Heaven, but I personally can't find it in my heart to hate him, because I think we have to try to understand.
He loves Crowley and he wants to be with him. And he knows he wants, he showed it clearly in ep5 when all he wanted was to dance with Crowley. And in ep6, when he understood what was happening with Gabriel and Lord Beelzebub and he touched Crowley arm, and he couldn't stop looking at them, his face was in realization, like "Is that possible??". And when Crowley mentioned Alpha Centauri and they looked at each other, that face, and then he was literally not taking his eyes off Crowley when he was just talking about getting his flat back, like he was still thinking about all that just happened.
That made me think that he was gonna confess actually, if Metatron hadn't brought him out. And there's where the theory of the "poisoned coffee" enters. It makes sense because it would explain the difference between this excitement in witnessing the possibility to be with a demon without anything actually happening, and the choice he made in the end.
But it also doesn't. His choice makes sense for him and it's not out of character. He's still too attached to his principles, to the expectations, the obligations, that he has because he's an angel. Being with Crowley made him more open to possibilities and nuances, but not totally. Crowley in that sense is a lot ahead of him, he still has a long way to go. Like Crowley said "I understand a whole lot better than you do".
Azi has to free himself of all those impositions and, well, just be himself, "an angel who goes along with Heaven as far as you can". 
What it's crystal clear is that he wants to be with Crowley, the suffering on his face seeing he was not accepting the offer, the "I need you", and the struggle when Crowley kissed him and after. He didn't want to go, he just thinks that being both angels is the only way to be together. He makes this clear when he says "We can be together! Angels, doing good!". Despite the fact that he just witnessed an angel and a demon falling in love and nobody really made a big deal out of it in the end. And Crowley, again, understands it better, because he says "If Gabriel and Beelzebub can do it, go off together, then we can".
That I think it's the difference between them, and the reason why they can't be together now. They're at different points of the realization process.

23: Muriel

Aziraphale and Muriel had gone through five cups of tea (Aziraphale), two Eccles cakes (Aziraphale), and one tiny sugar crystal (Muriel), and they still had no idea how to find Crowley.
Aziraphale was staring into the middle distance, his toe tapping out a staccato rhythm.
Muriel thought five cups of tea might have been three too many. 
“I just don’t see how we’re going to find him. He could be anywhere !” Aziraphale’s voice was terse with frustration.
Muriel, cradling the bedraggled remains of the snapped plant in their lap (Muriel had decided it was the one most urgently in need of care), gently stroked its leaves and hummed thoughtfully. 
“Well if Heaven has taken him, he’s sure to be Up There! Maybe the Metatron has an office?”
“Yes, they do, but…” Aziraphale looked doubtful. He narrowed his eyes before grimacing and shaking his head. “I don't believe they would sully that space with any violent schemes. Especially if there’s… blood.” He struggled to finish the sentence.
“We don’t know that it’s his blood,” said Muriel reassuringly.
“... No, but the likelihood is much higher than I would prefer.” 
“He told me a bit about the end-of-the-world-that-wasn’t, you know. It sounds like he’s always been lucky before! Maybe he managed to get lucky again?”  
Somehow this made Aziraphale look even more miserable, which Muriel was surprised was possible.
“Did he happen to mention that I threatened never to speak to him again if he didn’t come up with a plan to save us?”
Muriel stared.
Aziraphale cast her a sidelong glance. “Crowley’s always the one to come up with something, I’m afraid. He’s really very good at it. He finds the smallest sliver of opportunity in the most impossible situations. He’s always been like that, you know. Always able to somehow find light in the darkness and create something out of what looks like nothing at all.” He swallowed. He looked slightly ashamed. “ My plans usually consist of staying safe until he has the chance to put his plans into motion.”

Good Omen's Ms Cheng: Reading Into Every Little, Probably Irrelevant Detail
Tumblr media
So, I've noticed three things about Ms Cheng. Her name, her clothes--which change upon arrival at Aziraphale's ball--and her earrings--which don't.
Let's start with her surname. As far as I know, we didn't learn her first name, so the name Cheng is what we have to work with. But what does it mean?
Well, according to Behind the Name, Behind the Surname, and Google Translate, there are several meanings, depending on which character is used--I don't think we were shown this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, we have "completed, finished, succeed", "sincere, honest, true", and "rule, order, regulations" for the meaning.
And what do the possible characters themselves mean?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There's procedure and sincerity, which we already knew. But there is also journey,
Tumblr media
and become.
Tumblr media
It's also worth mentioning the similar and related name Chen, meaning "exhibit, display, old, ancient."
Tumblr media
Old and ancient might be relevant, considering Good Omens is a show about ancient, immortal beings, God included (though suspiciously absent from Season Two).
So what significance does Ms Cheng's name have, if any?
Is it meant to imply that God has become Ms Cheng? Or maybe that the Metatron's plans will be completed and succeed?
Does the meaning 'sincere' imply we should trust Ms Cheng? Or is it an intentional misnomer, like Honest John, the lying fox in Pinocchio (pulling the strings, anyone)?
Or maybe it's just a common Chinese surname, so Neil Gaiman picked it because he liked it. Maybe the actress, Crystal Yu, chose it upon being cast in the role.
Now let's look at Ms Cheng's two outfits.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The first outfit is a dark green, almost black, and looks like it is made of of leather or something with a sheen (lol) to it.
Does this mean Ms Cheng is a demon/evil? After all we see Shax wearing something similar with green light in Hell in the next scene.
Tumblr media
Or is that just a coincidence?
Tumblr media
The second outfit still has green, but lighter, and also other colors, like orange and yellow (well, yellowish green), and appears to be leaves--possibly, ginkgo leaves, specifically. Ginkgo trees are native to China (though they predate China by hundreds of millions of years) and can live for thousands of years.
What's the meaning of the color green? It's associated with envy and greed, both sins, but also with good luck, hope, life, and plants (which is the pattern on her shirt at Aziraphale's party).
So it's still ineffable what this implies, if anything, about Ms Cheng.
Now, finally, let's look at her earrings.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The earring appears to be gold with a blueish/greenish stone. The gold part is a circle with a line through it, which is reminiscent of the no/stop symbol🚫, which also means empty/null, and diameter.
Could the no/stop symbol be an indication that we shouldn't trust Ms Cheng or that she (whoever she is) is being stopped?
Or could the diameter meaning be referring to the earth, because Ms Cheng is God and She's got the whole world in her hands. The earring does sort of look like if you squint--or like God has dropped the earth, if the greenish/blueish rock is meant to represent the earth, and the gold circle Her arms.
The earrings also resemble the Greek letters Phi (ϕ) and Theta (θ), which are used in math.
Phi represents the Golden Ratio, among other meanings. Phi and the Golden Ratio are present in the Bible including in Noah's Ark and the Ark of the Covenant.
Theta (θ ) is a symbol used to denote the unknown measure of an angle. Pretty Ineffable, right?
There's also this:
Tumblr media
"In Lacanian algebra, Φ stands for the imaginary phallus and also represents phallic signification; -Φ stands in for castration."
Which, is a longshot (though perhaps cut short), but what if it means God has been castrated of Her Power, and that is why She is in Human form as Ms Cheng, and also not narrating, speaking to any of the characters, or intervening.
So, do Ms Chengs earrings have any meaning? Or is their meaning null?
What about her name and her outfits? What does everyone think?
