The Incongruous CityMrs L sees and hears it on the streets of ManhattanSunday, August 31 coming out of the subway on 14th St. and 1st Avenue, I hear a Hispanic lady talking to herself and she slowly climbed the stairs. I only understand a few words of Spanish, but I could swear she was saying ‘Ocho Dios… Ocho Dios…’. Doesn’t that mean Eight Gods? I was dying to know which Eight Gods she was praying to, or listening to, or checking up on. I must know. The Eight Gods of Harlem? The Eight Gods of Washington Heights? The Eight Gods of the Lower East Side? The Eight Gods of Mothers Everywhere? previous | next | back to main page |

Are you positive it was Ocho Dios? I’ve heard of Ojo de Dios which is roughly the eye of God. There are some people in Mexico & South America who make a craft type thing called ojo de dios which is to celebrate the birth of a child and/or summer solstice. She could have meant also that the eye of God sees all.

Hmmmm…there seems to be a body of Eight Gods mythology here:

I don’t see any spanish-speaking gods, but I’m very impressed with A Magical Trumpet Called Bill.

Webmistress>>Good luck on your journey with Bill… too cosmicpsychedeliclsdish for me! The 70s were not kind to me although I was intrigued with we’re our own imagination and the goat parlour. You know you could be connected through the Spire of Dublin (dimensional transfunctioner).
