So, for Samhain we had this great wonderful bonfire. Some of the wood we put on (a startling amount of it) sent up these long-lived incredible showers of sparks straight up into the night. It was probably just decades of pesticide on the firewood at the farm, but it was beautiful nonetheless.
Afterward, I was staring into the dying embers. First I saw a face. It was two slanted eyes and what appeared to be a fragment of jaw with the bottom front teeth (seriously, with the red emberglow they looked just like broken dentures). As soon as it registered to me that it looked like a face, a triangular bit of wood flew over and landed right where the nose should be. Eventually it faded. First one eye, then the nose, then another eye. I didn't keep close watch to see when those eerie teeth went away.
After that, the tiny pieces of wood all looked like people buried under rubble. There were well-formed faces, tiny hands complete with fingers, and what looked like fallen books all over them. It was like they were reaching out of the rubble of an earthquake under a library or something. It was unsettling.
However, there was one bright spot. (Harr harr, fire? Bright? Get it?) There was one perfect beautiful cosmo blossom (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y93/Yadali/cosmo.jpg). It was immense compared to all the tiny people. Compared to them it was the size of a room, and the whole bizarre assembly just lay there gleaming orange and yellow and red in shifting hues in the dark.
Does anybody have any insight into this? It was the divination period, but I've got no background in causmomancy, and don't even know where to look up what means what. Ideas?
