The Black Cat
by Edgar Allan Poe
The Axe and the Cellar
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
The axe and the cellar offer some vivid imagery. We can imagine that in a story like "The Black Cat," going to the cellar is a bad idea. We can almost smell the musty cellar smell wafting up at us. We might even experience a slight clouding of vision as the narrator, his wife, and the cat descend into the darkest depths of the "old" building (23). The imagery is vague and murky, until we get to the axe.
Like the knife, the axe has the potential to be used for violence. Most uses of the axe are violent, like chopping wood, for example. Firefighters use axes to save people, but the axe is still used violently to break things down. Here the axe is a symbol of the man's breakdown, and of the violent breakdown of his family.
If you see someone holding an axe, you might be slightly uncomfortable. You probably don't want one hanging about in your living room, either. When the narrator says he picked up "an axe," we think, "uh oh" (23).
We know what's probably going to happen next, especially if we've read Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. When he says he "buried the axe in [his wife's] brain" our predictions come true (23). We are certainly horrified at the brutal murder of the woman. But, we might also be somewhat relieved that the cat managed to escape unscathed. As we discuss in "Writing Style" the narrator's fancy prose can hide meaning if we don't read carefully. Here, he's surprising blunt. Nothing fancy. Yet, this is one of the story's strongest images and we can understand it instantly.
Since the narrator keeps us in the cellar for the most of the rest of the story, we get walled up, or trapped, in the story. This speaks to our theme of "Freedom and Confinement." It also speaks to the narrator's trapped state of mind. Although he is free for a time to hurt others, the story shows him increasingly imprisoned. Everything comes together in the cellar – which is just one step away from the jail cell.
The importance of the cellar as a symbol, and as imagery, is ever more apparent when we look at it against some other aspects of the setting. If you're interested in this aspect of the story, be sure to take a look at "Setting."

Stunning news has come out of Baton Rouge today as defensive back Tyrann Mathieu, a Heisman Trophy finalist last season, has been booted from the LSU football team.
Tigers head coach Les Miles has just announced at a press conference that the "Honey Badger" has been dismissed for violations of team policy.
Mathieu was suspended last year for one game for reportedly using synthetic marijuana. LSU never confirmed the specific reason of the suspension.
With Mathieu gone, junior Tharold Simon is the only cornerback of significant experience on the roster. The team has three true freshmen and one redshirt freshman at the position on the depth chart.
More on this developing story soon.

New Age Money PitfallsBy Jelaila StarrWritten January 15, 2001Click here for Reader's Comments
Following up on my article, Becoming a Prosperous Teacher, we now explore some of the more predominant money related beliefs that impact the New Age/metaphysical community. Personal experience has shown me that these beliefs inhibit my ability to manifest money. Interactions with my counseling clients shows that I am not alone. As I ferret out these hidden beliefs in myself, I will continue to share them. Like you, I want to be financially successful in my spiritual work. I want to feel satisfied and happy and I know that any lack I experience is my own creation. Let's take a look at the latest findings.
Belief 1. I must immediately find a way to fulfill any assignment that Spirit gives me.
This one can lead to untold amounts of frustration, self-doubt, relationship conflicts, not to mention wasted dollars. I have intimate experience with this one. In the past, when I have
received a message from Spirit requesting that I carry out an assignment, I immediately went into action to carry it out. I would stop at nothing, moving heaven and earth to make it
happen. Inevitably I would hit that proverbial wall and then get frustrated and angry wondering why I couldn't make it work. Sound familiar?
Now, after years of having repeated this pattern, I have learned what to do when I receive an assignment. I call it "The Golden Rule for Mission Assignments". It goes
like this: "When the people, money and opportunity effortlessly come together at the same time, then it is time to act."
My guides from Nibiruan Council explained this one to me a long time ago, but it has taken me many years and many painful experiences to believe and trust it.
How can we know when we are acting out of this belief?
Here is an example. We have been informed by Spirit that we are to build a healing center. Acting upon the message, but realizing that we don't have the money, we mortgage our home.
Then we quit our 3D jobs using the money mortgage money to not only build the center but support ourselves in the meantime. A year later we have to go back to a 3D job because we are now
heavily in debt. So disheartening and frustrating.
What can we do to change this belief to a more supportive one?
Apply the golden rule. When Spirit gives you an assingment, say to them, "I hear you and I am willing to act. Just bring the people, money and
opportunities necessary."
One more thing--After several years of working on projects with the Nibiruan Council, and hitting many walls, I have learned that there is a time/space distortion of
about 1-2 years. This means that the majority of the assignments that we receive are not scheduled to begin for one to two years in the future. If you continue to get messages about an
assignment, yet the pieces have not come together, you may simply be overhearing conversations regarding the assignment. I call this "periscoping."
Belief 2. I don't need to charge money for my service because having the opportunity to serve Spirit is thanks enough.
I don't think that there are too many feelings that can match the joy that serving Spirit gives us, but out of balance, this belief can become a real cop
out. Since the universe is based on the law of Giving and Receiving, anyone really wanting to understand the higher realms would have to face the fact that Spirit honors this law.
In other words, Spirit does not expect you to work for free.
If there's one thing I have learned in my years of working with people in the business world and New Age industry it is that no one does anything for free. If we
are truly honest with ourselves, we will acknowledge that the only reason we do anything is to get something in return whether it be money, a feel good feeling, or a pat on the back. After all,
isn't that the universal law of giving and receiving? But even if the feel-good feeling of serving Spirit is what we want, Spirit knows that we must receive that feeling in
equal proportion to the service we are giving. As long as this occurs, we will continue to offer the service in exchange for the feelings we get from doing it. But, if it is not in equal
proportion, the day will surely come when what we receive will just not be enough. We will know that one of these conditions exists because we will begin avoiding doing the work or we will be
out of money for ourselves.
How can we know that we are still acting out of this belief?
We find ourselves volunteering to do several jobs that provide no monetary remuneration or exchange of goods or services. Why do we do this? I believe there are
two reasons: We believe that if we put a price on our service we will be considered greedy or not very spiritual. This goes back to Belief #1 (see Becoming a Prosperous Teacher). And we fear being responsible and accountable for doing our service on a
long-term basis, therefore we avoid accountability by not accepting money.
Belief 3. I can accept love offerings instead of establishing set prices for services as a way to finance my work.
This is a really touchy one and I am sure that I will receive a load of emails disputing my views, but let's take a look anyway.
When I began this work, leaving my former business behind, I chose to hold monthly gatherings where I would channel members of the Nibiruan Council. I did this to
begin getting the Council's info out there and also as a way to begin building a clientele for readings since this work was full time and therefore my only means of income.
In keeping with the New Age belief that I shouldn't charge for my spiritual services, I set a basket on the counter leading into the family room with a sign
perched beside it said "Love Offerings." But since I was conflicted over this belief that I felt was somehow imbalanced, I wrote $20 as a suggested amount on the card. This
helped me feel okay about giving the next 3 hours of energy, time and information. It also helped me find a comfortable balance between my former beliefs as a business owner, and this new world
of beliefs into which I had just entered.
At the end of the evening I found that the offering had averaged about $20 per person. This made me feel pretty good. I felt that they had valued my service
enough to give $20 each. I also felt that I was on the right track and relieved that this new work would financially support my daughter and I.
At the next gathering I once again used the love offering basket, but this time neglected to write a minimum on the card. The same amount of people attended yet
the average per person was only $12. Immediately I began to question why. Was I not good enough, had I not provided the same level of service as the last time? Did I not satisfy
their needs enough? What was it? In the end I felt that they had not valued me as much and I felt a little resentful and even hurt.
The following time I added the minimum and the average went back up. What I learned from all of this was that if I don't value my time, no one else
will. I learned that people take their cue as to my value from me. If I value me and let them know, they will follow suit. If I don't, they are left to establish my value on
their own and people don't usually feel comfortable with this since it leaves them vulnerable to criticism from me. I also prefer someone give me a guideline when they request a love
offering. If I know how much value they want to place on their service for the sake of compensation, I can then decide if I want to give it. And when I do, I feel confident that they will
not consider me inconsiderate or critical because I may have given less because they didn't provide a minimum.
Now let's go deeper into the love offering concept and see what really lies beneath this concept. In my opinion, placing a minimum is the same as setting a
price for a service. The only difference is that I cloak it in the love offering terminology. But why did I do this? Why didn't I just say, "Hey, the gathering is
$20." Why did I feel the need to cloak it in this way? Well, the truth is that I felt that others would think that I am not very spiritual if I charged for my services. I was
buying into that old belief that "If it is spiritual it should be free." If I truly believed that one must give and receive and that one must decide how one would wish to receive
(which is the whole basis of creative visualization) then that concept holds no merit. It is counter productive to those who give their time and energy in any kind of service, spiritual or
otherwise. I had to admit to myself that I had used the love offering concept because I didn't have the guts to put out there what I felt my time that night was worth. I used it out
of fear.
Teachers and Lightworkers in general who are comfortable with the fact that every business needs money to survive will take the time to decide what they wish to receive
in return for their service, those not comfortable, still feeling it is wrong and shameful to ask for money for their services, will not. They will just allow anything to come to them in return for
the service. In most cases, they find that what they receive is not what they need, and if they were honest with themselves, what they wanted.
We must begin to really look at how the universe works and what we need to do to gain what we need from this vast repository of unlimited energy. We must take
responsibility for getting what we want. If we want certain things from it, we must be the ones to state what those things are and then use the universal laws in such a way that the universe
will send those things to us. The universe can only give us what we ask for. If we don't state an amount, it will give us whatever amount we truly believe we deserve and most of the
time that amount is less than we desire. If we really believe that we are entitled to fair compensation we will have no problem stating that to the universe or anyone else for that matter.
I don't believe that we can continue to abdicate our responsibilities and expect the universe or our clients to read our minds and know what we want and need; we
must put our needs on the table, so to speak.
In closing, I hope that by taking a moment to exploring these money pitfalls we will be better able to determine where we each have hidden, unconscious beliefs
that are keeping us from enjoying all the good things 3D has to offer. You and I came here on assignment to assist Mother Earth and her people in their ascension. We came to give but also
to receive in return. I don't feel that there is any reason for us to have to struggle financially. I don't believe it was planned that way 'cause if it was, we've
all be royally screwed. What I feel has happened is that we have become stuck in the same belief systems from which we came to free earth's people. And I truly believe that we
can end our sojourn in these lessons as soon as we decide to change our beliefs. In addition, I feel that on a soul level we agreed to create periods of financial struggle in our lives in order
that we may better understand and have compassion for what those we came to free will have to go through to get free of these same beliefs. In other words, we are not victims here and once we
acknowledge that, we can regain our clarity and take the steps to begin enjoying this mission again.

The Principality of Liechtenstein regards the ratification of the Optional Protocol as part of its continuing commitment to the protection of the rights of children and at the same time as an act of its solidarity with the objectives of the said Protocol."
