A Mythic Reading of Two Tragedies and the War Beneath the Surface
There are times when the world is broken open by sorrow so profound that even the gods fall silent.
This morning, in the quiet lands of Austria—where gun laws are among the strictest in all of Europe—the silence was broken by gunfire, and the lives of children were lost.
It is a tragedy beyond words. A wound in the Earth. A flood in the soul.
And yet… silence returned too quickly.
Where were the rolling camera trucks?
Where was the candlelit outcry across the airwaves?
Where was the endless torrent of talking heads pleading, shaming, pointing fingers?
Where was the ritual?
For when the same horror strikes the United States, the script is already waiting.
The Fire ignites, but the Air is not free—it is steered. The people are herded. And the grief, the pure and unbearable grief, is weaponized.
🜁 The Air: Shaped by Sorcerers
Air is the element of thought, word, breath, and truth. But it is also the element most easily enchanted.
In the American telling, when children die by the gun, the Air becomes thick with messaging:
“You don’t need that weapon.”
“Only monsters want to own guns.”
“The government will protect you.”
“Disarm to be good. Disarm to be safe.”
But in Austria—where the people were already disarmed, and where today’s tragedy unfolded despite their obedience—the Air is muffled.
Why?
Because the script cannot hold.
Because this event does not serve the Empire’s narrative.
Because if truth were allowed to breathe freely, people might ask:
“If good people had been armed, could this have ended differently?”
And the spell would break.
🜂 The Fire: Held in Chains
Fire is Will. Power. The Spark of Defense.
It is the primal “No” shouted into the face of tyranny, violence, or chaos.
It is the fire a father holds in his hands when his children are threatened.
It is the fire a mother breathes when death comes too close.
The Empire fears this Fire.
Not the fire of the madman or the criminal—they can use that to justify more chains.
No—the Fire they fear is the one that burns in the conscience of the good.
The principled citizen. The one who says:
“Not my family. Not my home. Not my soul.”
This Fire must be tamed.
And so they work endlessly to separate you from it—emotionally, legally, spiritually.
In Austria, the Fire had already been taken.
And still, the tragedy came.
🜄 The Water: Used to Drown the Mind
Water is emotion, compassion, grief. It moves through us in tears, in empathy, in waves of sorrow.
But in the hands of the Empire, it becomes a flood—used not to cleanse, but to drown discernment.
In America, tragedy is followed not by truth-seeking, but by emotional ritual theatre.
Candles. Speeches. Hashtags.
And behind it, the soft pressure of the narrative:
“Feel more. Think less.”
“React. Don’t question.”
“Give up your Fire.”
In Austria, the sorrow is just as real. But with no Fire left to surrender, the Empire has no use for the flood.
So the children are buried. Quietly.
🜃 The Earth: The Cold Machinery of Control
Earth is law. Structure. Manifest reality.
When media, government, and technocracy combine, they reshape the Earth to match their desires.
New laws. New restrictions. New enforcers.
But always—they keep their own Fire.
The guards, the elites, the politicians—they remain protected. Armored. Armed.
While the people are told:
“It is virtuous to be vulnerable.”
“It is safe to be unarmed.”
“It is moral to trust those who rule you.”
This is not compassion.
It is a reversal of nature.
The strong disarmed.
The innocent unguarded.
The Empire insulated.
🜨 The Elemental Truth Beneath the Ritual
What happened today in Austria is a tragedy of Water.
But it is also a tragedy of stolen Fire.
We may never know what could have been different—
But when only the wicked carry weapons, and the righteous are forbidden to resist, the balance is already broken.
The media does not ignore Austria because they don’t care.
They ignore it because they do care—about the narrative.
And this event… doesn’t fit.
So the ritual is skipped. The pain is buried. The people are spared the spark of question.
🛡️ The Moral Flame That Must Not Go Out
To ask “What if someone had been armed?” is not to dishonor the dead.
It is to honor the living.
To defend the sacred duty we all carry: to protect the vulnerable, to resist evil, and to never let grief be turned into a leash.
If the Empire truly cared for the people, it would empower them—not neuter them.
If the media were truly a voice of truth, it would ask:
“Why did this happen despite every legal barrier?”
“Could a person of conscience have made a difference?”
But they do not ask.
Because they already know the answers.
⚔️ Final Word
This is not a call to violence.
This is a call to balance.
To reclaim Fire—not for chaos, but for honor.
To unbind Air—not for shouting, but for truth.
To sanctify Water—not for drowning thought, but for healing.
To reshape Earth—not for submission, but for sovereignty.
Let today’s sorrow not be in vain.
Let it burn—gently, rightly, enduringly—in the conscience of a people waking up.
