When you dig deep enough you find all sorts of astrological correspondences associated with different mystic schools of thoughts. From the twelve paths in the Jewish Cabbala to tarot cards associated with each of the signs, astrology is everywhere.
Practicing my own form of mysticism I’d like to propose just one more, that of the mystic art of jello shots. Now before you laugh, this system is a very carefully thought out, taking all of ten minutes, like most good pop spiritualism. It is based on the Jello system of colors and flavors and the propensity of each astrological sign to enjoy them.
There is a wealth of information on the internet on how to create jello shots, from actual recipes to recommendations to containers, so I won’t bore you with the details here.
Seeing that there is only one good way to down a jello shot, straight up, with a sharp intake of breath, it is also appropriate to do so in a meditative state, full of the awareness of the stuff of life, while reciting your particular mantra for the experience.
So mix up your iconic flavor and follow me to the path of true enlightenment, or at least a good time, now that you have the appropriate guide.
Aries–Full of fire and energy, your color is red, your flavor strawberry, reminding you of the innocence of your youth and that awful strawberry wine you used to down while trying to woo the women or when the men tried to woo you. Meditation: Slow down and pay attention and you may reduce the number of accidents you experience. You just may lower of your insurance bill as well.
