Owl and deer

I ran across a reference to one Christopher Blythe, a Mormon "content creator" I hadn't heard of, so I looked him up. Not a great first impression, physiognomy-wise. Dude lowkey looks like a professional quote maker. I mean, seriously, this is a guy who owns a katana.


I found his YouTube channel, clicked on most popular videos, and saw the thumbnails. Euphoria intensifies. I couldn't bring myself to watch anything, but one of the thumbnails did get my attention:


I am currently reading Mike Clelland's Stories from the Messengers, a book about owls and UFOs, so it was the owl's eyes that first caught mine. Then I saw that it is paired with a deer. Clelland repeatedly draws symbolic connections between those two animals. I recently quoted one passage to that effect in a June 22 comment on "The Stone Woman Mystery":

Alan was well aware that owl and deer are often reported as screen memories, but why an owl in one sighting, and a deer in the other? Is there some deeper reason why these two different iconic animals arrived for these two different people on that same night?

Then I noticed the background -- blue, with trees and stars. We've seen that before, too.


If the sync fairies were trying to get me to watch that video, I'm afraid they failed. Yes, I did read that one book about yoga farm animals finding the Holy Grail, but you've still got to draw the line somewhere.

Thinking about that Hermit card again, I put hermit hart into the YouTube search bar just to see what would come up. I got an instrumental piece by Jonathan David Barlow called "Hermit Heart," with a whopping 7 views as of this writing, featuring some Tree-of-Life-adjacent imagery.


The white part of these White Trees is heart-shaped, for a punning link to the white hart.
