What's in a name?

[percival]

So, according to the Kabalarians, your name not only determines your personality, but it can also make you more prone to certain types of health problems. Let's test this on two popular literary figures, our beloved Sauron of Mordor and ever-cuddly Cthulhu.



The web site says:

"While the name Sauron creates the urge to be creative, independent and original, we point out that it limits self-expression and friendly congeniality with a tendency to be moody. This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses heart, lungs, bronchial area, and tension or accidents to the head.

The name of Sauron gives you a very individual, reserved, serious nature. You prefer to be alone with your own thoughts, rather than in the company of others. This name restricts spontaneity in association and the fluency of your verbal expression. When you are required to express yourself in personal matters requiring finesse and diplomacy, you feel awkward and embarrassed. Although you realize perfectly well what is expected of you, you are unable to find the right words, and hence you end up saying something inappropriate in a candid way. You can express your deeper thoughts and feelings best through writing."



Now we know why he had to wear that helmet. Poor baby.



from the web site:

"Although the name Cthulhu creates the urge to be reliable and responsible, we emphasize that it frustrates you through a scattered and emotional nature. This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the liver, bloodstream, and through worry and mental tension.

As Cthulhu, you have a natural interest in the welfare of your fellow man, and a desire to help and serve others in a humanitarian way. You are responsible and generous, although somewhat scattering and disorganized at times. Any jobs requiring systematic and conscientious effort, or involving any form of drudgery, dismay you. In your work, you would seek a position offering self-expression through contact with people, such as sales or teaching, or a position giving scope to your creative, artistic talents. You are good-natured and likeable, and people tend to confide in you and seek your advice in personal problems. Others sense your sincere interest and desire to help, and you can always be counted on to see the bright side of any problem."



Now we know - in real life Cthulhu is an entirely benevolent entity. He's just been sadly misunderstood by a certain H. Lovecraft ...

I keep seeing those, and I never have any money when I'm in the store. Between that and the giant fluffy microbes, I would have quite the collection in my flat.

I used to sit at the gravesite of H.P. Lovecraft in Providence. I lived in Providence for six years.
