Symbols are one way of interpreting dreams. Researchers have tried to find, for each common dream occurrence, a psychological situation that matches the dream in some way and link it as a cause. A well-known example of this approach is Freud's interpretation. Asking for symbols allows for (sometimes too easy) interpretation of dreams by given rules. But this is a questionably approach.

The symbol that appears on our web site is an athame descending into a chalice, representative of a part of ritual that is variously referred to as the Wine Blessing, or the Great Rite “in token”.

That is the new Restricted Modification Symbol. It means that no card may modify Throttled. Not your Power Of Darkness nor Get Crowd Support, etc., nor your opponent's Brahma Bull or Running Lariat, etc. Also, the key word is "modify": you can still reverse Throttled as stated on the card or using cards like Backlash!, Defensive Posture, etc. No. It means you have to overturn 2 reversals that you would have been able to use to reverse the maneuver.

To properly explain this symbol, we must first explain the concept of 'ghosting'. RELAY is a network, in some senses, very much like the BITNET itself. It sends messages around to its individual hosts, informing them of who has signed on and where they are, etc. No network is perfect. RELAY, being a an overlay, is less perfect than most. Occasionally, RELAY will not get the message that a person is signed on, and thus, that person becomes a "ghost".

If you receive a message from RELAY with a <*nick*> in front of the message, it means that the user has sent you a message using the /MSG command detailed above. No other users saw this message.

There are too many loose interpretation about what the aggregation "diamond" means. Our view in Catalysis is that the notation is the least of the concerns; the interpretation is of essence. You can create a Catalysis framework for "every <X> is lifetime-dependent on that <Y> instance which is its <r> attribute", and then use that as a stereotype on any association.
