    According to https://www.holidays-and-observances.com/july-7.html ,
    July 7, or 7/7, is Global Forgiveness Day and Tell the Truth Day.
    The evening of July 7 to the evening of July 8 this year also
    marks Islamic New Year and the start of the month of Muharram.

    From google:

    "Muharram marks the beginning of the Islamic New Year, signifying a time of renewal and spiritual contemplation. The word Muharram means 'not permitted'
    or 'forbidden' hence, Muslims are prohibited from taking part in activities like warfare and use it as a period of prayer and reflection.”

    From Wikipedia:

    "Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar. It is one of the four sacred months of the year when warfare is banned. It precedes the month of Safar. The tenth of Muharram is known as Ashura, an important day of commemoration in Islam.”

    Hence it is now an auspicious time for a ceasefire in Gaza, Israel,
    the West Bank, and Lebanon.

    This evening I have also rolled the dice once again in one more attempt
    at the crackpot jackpot, aiming for completion of my complicated
    prayer for a global new age, in which I have done much of the
    groundwork in the last 28 years (2X14 years of Jacob, 4X7 years
    of the Buddha, so long since I have a global region), and am reporting on
    it in the thread “Thou moon of moons and of blessings!” on alt.religion.druid .
    Who have I prayed to? Well, I have many collaborators, but the
    main collaborator and chair is Goddess, who I define as the ruler
    of the region all/everything, and who many call God.

    No, it stalled. It seems it won’t work until I see the waxing
    crescent for the first time this lunar month here, which I
    plan to try to do in about an hour.
