More survey questions to come.
There is no right or wrong answer...
I am simply curious and taking a survey.
Feel free to elaborate on your personal reasons for agreeing or disagreeing on any points.

PS. For the original posting of the survey go here: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum8/HTML/001895.html
And thank you GypseeWind for participating in this survey and the word druid survey!

1. Have you read Star Signs?
Yes, indeed.
2. Have you thoroughly "studied" it?
Yes!
3. A., Do you believe in word druids and B., do you understand what she wrote about them?
I understand what she wrote about them- I do think there's much more to druids, yet I don't think she went into full detail explaining druids

4. Do you agree or disagree with her alternate history of language and writing that radically clashes with scholarly research, archaeology, and so forth?
Not sure what you mean here. In regards to her Star Sign book? I think a lot of what she wrote goes deep in depth, while other areas she didn't expand on.
5. Do you agree with the vowel rule?
Having read all her books, I do honestly think she didn't give enough backstory of its orgin, etc... but for the most part, I got the general idea of what she meant.
6. Do you agree with the letter count rule?
She stated that only the letters in a name, etc, should be used, all others not there should be in paranthesis. I have found in my experience, and I don't consider myself a mastered Lexigraming, but know a lot of it, that a Lexigram is more effective and works for me most without adding letters...
I have also found myself that when lexigraming my higher-self also gives me more information. Does that make sense?
It's a guiding tool in a way a lot of the time. For instance, one time I was doing a name and after having all words, I already knew the entire sentence without even putting it together, and also other words came at me to form the sentence, etc. And after I checked myself, I noticed that the additional words that came to me, where also not added words, it was very intense, almost a knowing, and a reminder, to always follow/listen to my higher-self.
7. How do you feel about her Lexigramming errors in her "lexigrams"? Such as the word NATION in the Lincoln Lexigram, and not allowed words in some others?
I am not looking at her book right now, but will relook at it, I think she stated that added words or letters should be in paranthesis or lower case, right?
8. A., How do feel about being told a name, or that your name is not a good name to have? And B., that you should change it?
That's part of the Numerology section, right? I think she meant that if your name vibrates at a good frequency is what is all about based on Numerology-- and if not to change it-- Is that what you mean?

9. How do you feel about a name, or your name A., not "wanting" to be lexigrammed or that B., it cannot be Lexigrammed?
All can be lexigramed. Not wanting is only up to the person.

10. Do you believe that A., English is the world's oldest language? And B., that ALL languages came from it? Oldest, no. I don't think she meant oldest is the English Language, I think she meant the "Mysteries of the english Language"

11. Do you believe in Adam and Eve?
Not the allegorical story in the bible... and definatly not the true story...my theories will clash intensly with hers, yet she never truly wrote about the story of adam and eve... she was going to write her true theories in "Twelfth Night Secrets"
12. Do you believe that Lexigramming only works in English? No
13. A., Do you believe a foetus or unborn child is not alive? B., that basically it is soulless until born? Elaborate here, please...

14. Do you believe words have actual souls and are beings?

15. Are you aware of how long Anagramming has been around?
forever

16. Are you aware of the fact that anagrams are a simple form of a Lexigram? Yes

17. Did you know that an anagram is also a Lexigram, but a Lexigram is not always an anagram? Yes, I am with you on here big time.
18. Did you know that the word "lie" is an extremely common word and is found in a high percentage of names? yes, and it so makes sense... I think in this case one has to listen to one's higher-self.

Hi Lexx..

The last question... I think it's effective-- any tool which helps guide us in a reading is helpful...

Linda passed in 1995, some 3 years before Anagram/word list generators were invented.
She may have well given other instruction had they been available when she wrote about Lexigrams.
Even she gave a positive affirming nod to the utilizing of computers in Star Signs.

Later whilst visiting my Great Grandmother; my parents told her about my "playing" with the letters found in names and words. By that time I had already Lexigrammed the names of my parents and siblings.
Great Grandma was utterly thrilled!♥ ♥ ♥
She brought out of the attic old antique "ANAGRAM" game boards, and Scrabble game, and helped me take my interest in Lexigramming to a higher level.

I drove teachers bonkers because in school I would be doing Lexigramming rather than paying attention in classes. Oops! LOL!

By time I was 7 years old in 1961 (and a sickly child, with poor eyesight...plenty of time to Lexigram) I was dreaming them, creating them in my dreams! I usually did and still have
paper and pencil, or pen nearby to jot down my Lexigrams that come in dreams.

♥ ♥ ♥ ERROR FREE LEXIGRAMMING IS MY SERIOUS PASSION!♥ ♥ ♥

An Anagram is "OF" the "source"
A Lexigram is "FROM" the "source"

~source=the name, phrase, date, title, being Lexigrammed.~

I got in trouble in church over words too!
Only, I was carving them into the pew!!

LOL!
I did much the same as you,(using a tiny switch bladed jack knife I had won for selling seeds) but it was at a Baptist church. Oh my! One did get beatings as a result!

Thats right folks!
I was then a total computer newbie who had just gotten a computer, and it was my first time on the internet also in that March of 2005!

Then when some folks here saw my Lexigrams they began accusing me of using generators!
I was like..
"huh? What is a generator?"

I'd been Lexigramming nearly 45 years by that time, without having ever been on a computer let alone using a computer program to Lexigram!

Even since a few strokes, which have affected my concentration, and vision acuity, I still do them by hand, and only consult a generated list if I want to find words that are not common or in my personal mental vocabulary.
I still dream them, and write down phrase which came to me in dreams, on a note pad always kept by my bed.
I keep note pads in the bathroom to spontaneously write down Lexigram phrases as they come to me and use tape recorders also.
I really need to get myself a digital recorder so that when my eyes are wonky, or in dark whilst in bed, I can still note the Lexigram phrases that come to me.

lexis
Greek for "word"

rede
Pronunciation: \ˈrēd\
Function: transitive verb
Etymology: Middle English
Date: before 12th century

1. archaic : to give counsel to : advise
2 archaic : interpret, explain

lexis+rede=
Lexis Rede

What is a Lexis♥Rede?
This is an in depth analysis/report of the words found within a name, date, or any phrase, and how each word and themes, or theme clusters, such as places, names, dates, time related terms, plants, animals, deities, mythology terms, astrology terms, spiritual, religious, and many more, relate to your name, or whatever title, or phrase is the Lexigram "source".

IT IS NOT AN ACTUAL LEXIGRAM!
NOR IT IT AN "IMPERFECT LEXIGRAM"

When speaking of an "Imperfect Lexigram" one uses the word "imperfect" in the same way as when it is used to describe an "Imperfect Anagram".
When one adds any letters which cannot be found within the word, name, or phase one is Lexigramming or Anagramming, the term "Imperfect" is employed as a description.
Imperfect Lexigramming is what most folks do, per Linda's rules, and her own inperfect Lexigrams.
Technically, there is no such thing as either and imperfect Lexigram and an imperfect Anagram, which by virtue of their having errors/imperfections, are not either a Lexigram nor an Anagram. Exceptions are with Anagrams which do not add letters not found in the source being anagrammed, but simply expanding beyond the constraints of only rearranging the letters perfectly, thus making the resulting creation stop being an angram and transforming it into a Lexigram.
Remember too:
AN ANAGRAM IS ALSO A LEXIGRAM.
A LEXIGRAM IS NOT AN ANAGRAM UNLESS IT IS FIRST A STANDARD ANAGRAM.

quote:

---

The creation of anagrams assumes an alphabet, the symbols of which are to be permuted. In a perfect anagram, every letter must be used, with exactly the same number of occurrences as in the anagrammed word or phrase; any result that falls short is called an imperfect anagram. Diacritics are usually disregarded (this is usually not relevant for English anagrams), and standard orthography is to be used.
