MY DIARY DIGITAL DATA ENTRY 44 OF 145

Tonight Phoebe - The Beirut Babe - and I cleaned out an old, small, stone room inside an old stone memorial in the middle of the cemetery that was built for a girl who died at the age of sixteen. Phoebe noticed the old, stone, memorial when we were walking back from the church charity food van and upon walking around it, we found a small, hatch door at the back that we spent an hour dislodging as it was made of iron and had rusted over the years. Once dislodging the iron hatch door, there was just enough room for us to crawl inside. So we now have a new home and have moved our beds and belongings from underneath the grave gap 'rooms' that we were using, to the inside of this drier and warmer, small, stone, secretive tomb room. Phoebe – the Beirut Babe - also told me that she practices her own personalised version of ancient Arabic-like voodoo - And then she asked me if we could go and find her an old discarded stone statue from the cemetery dumping ground so that she could use it in her voodoo rituals. (I also told her that I had spent many nights this month engaging myself in my stone statue session rituals behind the cemetery chapel). So Phoebe and I went over to the cemetery dumping grounds to find her an old, discarded, stone statue. And whilst she was searching for the stone statue that she wanted, I kept thinking about Phoebe - The Beirut Babe - and the way she is a half Lebanese Muslim and half French Catholic girl who practices her own version of voodoo - (which is a religion that has its origins in combining Catholicism and Haitian rituals). And I was trying to work out how our existence works in the context of reincarnation and specifically in terms of Phoebe - The Beirut Babe. For considering the notion of reincarnation in her specific circumstances - she is half French Catholic in this life - and her personalised version of ancient Arabic voodoo that she practices has much of its origins in Haiti - (which is African religious practices mixed with French Catholicism religious practices) - So maybe Phoebe - The Beirut Babe - was a half French Catholic and half Haitian - Voodoo Priestess in her past life. And now Phoebe - The Beirut Babe - is the half French Catholic and half Lebanese Muslim girl in this life, who practices her own personalised version of voodoo. So I wonder what the significance of this is in the context of considering that she could have been a half French Catholic and half Haitian Voodoo Priestess in her past life - but now has been reincarnated in this life as being a girl of half French Catholic and half Lebanese Muslim origin - and who practices her personalised version of voodoo in this life? Would she have chosen to reincarnate from the underworld into her present incarnation, or was her present incarnation chosen for her? And could there be any underlying reason why this change may have taken place from her last incarnation, and if so what might that reason or reasons be? And now looking at and analysing her tastes in her subjective individual style and the aesthetics of her own personalised version of voodoo - it has its origins in Haiti - but she has combined elements of ancient Arabic religious practices within it - For using her bag of hair pieces and makeup, she has made the stone statue that she has now chosen to look like a plaited, long-haired ancient Arabic religious icon for her ritualistic voodoo worship. And also looking at her subterranean orientation, she has decorated this tomb room to look like some kind of ritualistic voodoo terrorist tomb room - Because this tomb room now looks like it has been influenced and shaped by religion, crack, smack, oil and a love of living deep within the dirt - So I now wonder if there were pre-Islam ancient Arabic and/or Phoenician people who practiced their own iconic and ritualistic religious practices that are similar in some ways to the religious practices of Haitian voodoo? Whatever the case, I am still curious and intrigued about how reincarnation could work - and why these possible changes between incarnations took place for Phoebe - The Beirut Babe?
