First rule of marketing
It's hardly a secret that photos are often heavily retouched before publication, but it's relatively rare that a source image is available, allowing direct comparison with the final version. Here's a particularly blatant example. The image on the left is a studio photograph of Keira Knightley, taken for use in material promoting her recent film, 'King Arthur'. On the right the same photo is incorporated into a poster. Some have expressed doubt that they really are the same image, or that only the head is the same, superimposed onto a different body. A few changes are uncontroversial: the image has been rotated through 4.3° to improve the overall composition. However, the main changes go beyond 'accentuating'. I'll let others decide on the aesthetics, ethics or even necessity of this manipulation.

How to Tell if You Are Indigo
Here is an in-depth article describing what traits to look for in determining if you or someone you know is an indigo child or adult. When talking to people about indigos I often hear that the characteristics are not specific and practically anyone could consider themselves an indigo. Therefore in this article I’m going try to be as clear as possible in describing the things that make indigos DIFFERENT from other people. In the first part of the article I’ll try to define indigos, and in the second part I’ll get into listing their particular characteristics. This is now the second edition of this article, as it has been rewritten and expanded since 24/10/2011. About The Term “Indigo” The actual term “indigo” may have come from the colour of the sixth chakra (energy center) or third eye chakra. Note that indigo in this context is not the colour of the aura. I don’t know how much meaning any of these ideas have but I’ve offered them for your consideration. What Is An Indigo? So. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Celtic Animal Signs - Celtic Animal Zodiac
Celtic Animal Zodiac Meanings This page on Celtic animal signs is an extension of the Celtic tree astrology section. I've selected each Celtic sign according to their prominence and affiliation with the full moon within each segment of the Celtic (lunar) year. The Celts honored the rhythms of Nature, and observed different flavors of their environment according to the season. I cannot say the ancient Celts designated zodiac totem animals according to the time and day of a kinsman/kinswoman's birth. There seems to be no separation between Celtic-kind and animal-kind. Cast your mind back to the time of the Celts, and observe: Their breath united with the breathing forests. Indeed, no distinction between man and nature is made in Celtic ideology. In that energetic spirit of oneness, I invite you connect with your own lunar Celtic animal sign. I hope you enjoy these perspectives on Celtic animal signs as much as I did while writing them.
