   New moon here will be at 9:55 a.m. Tuesday local time.   
      
   Today on my walk home from Mary’s I stopped in at   
   Dollarama to get some stuff for another sister. I got   
   a 173 g bag of snack-sized candy bars and four regular   
   sized chocolate bars. The total with 15% tax was $9.55.   
      
   I consider that significant since 55 has been my lucky   
   or recurring number and 55 in Roman numerals is LV   
   which I take to mean LOVE, and also because of   
   the timing of new/dark moon.   
      
   I plan to begin another global new age onset mystic   
   activation sequence at 9:55 a.m. Tuesday and will   
   list any required changes in a post to alt.religion.druid   
   just after that.   
      
   However I have said that I don’t expect a correlation   
   with an existing religious holiday, and this will be   
   Diwali new/dark moon. (Diwali is celebrated by   
   Hindus, Jain, Sikhs, some Buddhists, and some   
   atheists.)   
      
   And also the man who served me at the checkout was   
   of South Asian descent, and I should have mentioned   
   the coincidence to him but neglected to.
