"A Storm is Coming" was said by William Bell, (Leonard Nimoy) in the TV series Fringe as a reference to the collision of parallel/alternate universes and perhaps all realities as we know them.

On July 23, 2010, as the sun moved into Leo, tropical storm Bonnie, was headed to the Gulf of Mexico where efforts to contain the BP Gulf oil spill were underway.

If we are experiencing in the Age of Aquarius, then based on the precession of the equinoxes, roughly 13,000 years ago we lived in the Age of Leo the Lion. Leo is a Fire sign ruled by the Sun taking us to light or the source of creation. That timeline is allegedly characterized by massive global warming, leading to deglaciation and a 300 foot rise in the sea level (Memo to the Others: flood stories, Anunnaki recall). Researchers believe the Sphinx was constructed in that timeline, or maybe none of it ever happened at all.

Hey Ellie, greetings from the west coast of Canada!

You no doubt know this well, but I only just discovered that the Vulcan gesture which accompanies the phrase 'live long and prosper' was actually modeled on the Jewish priestly blessing gesture analogous to the letter 'shin'. Given what you have been talking about on your blog of late, this seemed to me highly pertinent. In fact, it turns out that Leonard Nimoy himself created the gesture which Spock, his enigmatic character on "Star Trek", used in appropriate situations. Apparently Nimoy saw the Jewish rites performed at a synagogue when he was young and was very much impressed, the impression of this gesture remaining fixed in his mind's eye (ha! the mind's EYE indeed..).

With William Bell's assertion on "Fringe" last season that 'a storm is coming', I now accept the widening connection, looping back to Nimoy's other famous character and to Spock's use of the evocative 'shin' hand gesture. It is subtle yet, but there may emerge a more literal link of these two characters before too long, at least along 'mythological' lines... Seems as if a psychic line of thought does move in this direction now, however, come what may.

Here's a link to an article on this gesture and Leonard Nimoy's co-opting of it for the Star Trek series: The Jewish Origin of the Vulcan Salute

Many thanks, as ever, Ellie -- you are verily a mega-priestess, resolutely (with a twinkle in your eye!) leading the way (....out of here, into the darkening blue..)...

Sincerely!
Kristin (fellow Aquarian)

Vulcan Salute Wikipedia

In his autobiography I Am Not Spock, Nimoy wrote that he based the salute based on the Priestly Blessing performed by Jewish Kohanim with both hands, thumb to thumb in this same position, representing the Hebrew letter Shin, which has three upward strokes similar to the position of the thumb and fingers in the salute. The letter Shin here stands for Shaddai, meaning "Almighty (God)". Nimoy wrote that when he was a child, his grandfather took him to an Orthodox synagogue. There he saw the blessing performed and was very impressed by it.

Use of the Vulcan salute:

The Vulcan salute first appeared in 1967 on the Star Trek second season opening episode, "Amok Time".

In the pilot episode of Stargate SG-1, Major Ferretti teasingly greets Daniel Jackson with a Vulcan salute when they arrive on the planet Abydos.

The gesture is shown to be a greeting frequently used by Hiro Nakamura, a comedic character on the NBC science fiction drama Heroes. Note that in the story, Hiro's father is played by George Takei, who played Hikaru Sulu on the original Star Trek series.

The Major Arcana Card "The Devil" of the Rider Waite Tarot deck makes a similar gesture.
