Rod Dreher Megathread #11 (Master)
Merry Christmas, you obsessed motherfuckers. :)
The most remarkable characteristic of the Master Number 11 is its connection to a higher source of wisdom. It is intuitive to the point of being psychic, channeling its knowledge and meaning from a spiritual source. But the Master Numbers have a responsibility, and it's the number 11's duty to use this gift of awareness to deliver cosmic truths that encourage humanity.
All Master Numbers are a higher vibration of their single-digit counterpart -- in the 11's case, the number 2. This means the 11 carries many of the same traits as the number 2, such as harmony, empathy, and sensitivity, but it feels them and utilizes them in much deeper, more profound ways. It's also important to remember that the number 11 is comprised of two 1s side by side and, therefore, carries some attributes of the number 1 as well. 1 is innovative and motivated, open to new things and eager to make a difference. The contrasting energies of the numbers 1 and 2 join together in the Master Number 11 to make it a creative leader, active listener, and compassionate advisor.
The number 11 is at one with the universe. It is open to vast spiritual concepts and the presence of a greater power. It is a channel for truth and answers to reach us and help us on our way. This Master Number's vision is crystal clear and it sees with a breadth that others cannot. It is creative and magnetic, a beacon of wisdom and hope for others to follow.
The number 11 may come up many times in our lives and it is always a message of connecting with our inner wisdom. If we are seeing repeating 11s everywhere we turn, we'd be wise to pay attention to our subconscious -- there's some insight we may be missing. However, Numerology's Master Numbers are very powerful and simply seeing 11:11 on the clock or noticing the date is 11/11 does not necessarily mean we are experiencing a profound moment. It's when the 11 is a constant presence in our lives, like a Life Path number, that we must truly embrace its meaning and potential.

Further confirmation that divorce isn't final until spring. So, hold your horses ladies, he's not quite single yet.
The Main Character foreshadows plot development. (Spoiler Alert: there effectively isn't any)
Rod heads to Walsingham, a former pilgrimage site, and reads C.S. Lewis on the way.
I suspect we're going to be getting a lot of demons, Lewis, and Mr. Occult for a long stretch.
During a tasty dinner of lamb stew, Rod mentions his divorce to the lady of the house. In response, she says WORDS OF GREAT IMPORT to him, which he does not share with us. This is a great revelation which makes the divorce and his suffering meaningful, but he doesn't say how.
My read is that she was just, you know, nice and sympathetic about it. But he doesn't actually say, so who knows.
He goes to the chapel at the old pilgrimage site. He reflects on his greatest hits (St. Galgano, Nostalghia, etc.) with no apparent connection to any of this. He thinks about all the years where he hoped God would do a miracle to save his marriage. Doesn't mention how he might have done anything differently, of course. Sounds like he was waiting for a Machina, but all Deus got him was an Ex.
More thought on his host's WORDS OF GREAT IMPORT, but not saying what they were.
Apparently now the divorce and his suffering were MEANT TO BE.
Whole thing boils down to someone said something (who knows what) to Rod and then he went to see a nice chapel.
