Anemone coronaria means crown anemone, referring to the central crown of the flower, evoking regal associations. The Arabic name is shaqa'iq An-Nu'man translated literally as the wounds, or "pieces", of Nu'man.[6][7] One possible source of the name traces back to the Sumerian god of food and vegetation, Tammuz, whose Phoenician epithet was "Nea'man".[8] Tammuz is generally considered to have been drawn into the Greek pantheon as Adonis, who died of his wounds while hunting wild boar. The deity is transformed into a flower, stained by the blood of Adonis.[8] Tammuz's Phoenician epithet "Nea'man" is believed to be both the source of "an-Nu'man" in Arabic which came through Syriac, and of "anemone" which came through Greek.[8] Another possible source of the name is An-Nu'man III Bin Al-Munthir, the last Lakhmid king of Al-Hirah (582-c.609 AD) and a Christian Arab. An-Nu'man is known to have protected the flowers during his reign.[6] According to myth, the flower thrived on An-Nu'man's grave, paralleling the death and rebirth of Adonis.
• In Christianity, red anemones symbolise the blood of Christ when he was on the cross. They are also often depicted in Christian paintings alongside Jesus being crucified or the Virgin Mary mourning.
• In the Near East, they are believed to carry disease and represent bad luck.
• Europeans used to think anemones carried bad omens and misfortune. Therefore, people would hold their breath through fields of anemone to avoid bringing this supposed misfortune upon themselves.
• In English and Irish folk tales, many believed that fairies would sleep within the petals as the closed up at night. In depictions of fairies, you will often also see anemone flowers alongside them.
• In Chinese culture, red anemones are also associated with death. This is the same within Greek and Christian cultures.
• Anemones have been represented in many famous paintings by the likes of Monet and Matisse.

Classified military technology and downed “Enochian” craft exposed by a former black-ops soldier
A man known only as “Charlie” appeared in episode one-hundred and twenty-two of The Confessionals podcast, blowing the whistle on a secret government mission in which he claims to have participated back in the early-1990s. For that mission, an undisclosed branch of the United States military ordered Charlie and his team to rendevous with and escort a group of scientists to recover a downed aircraft in the remote wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. What happened during that uncanny mission had never been talked about publically by anyone, making Charlie a target for federal agents who later paid a visit.
‘It’s an ancient demon language,’ the man replied to Charlie, who said he was in disbelief.
Enochian is an occultic language, said to be angelic, and to be derived from Enochian angels.
Our Mystics and Occult Adepts from John Dee and his Enochian angels to Crowley's Aiwass & LAM, to Robert Monroe's Miranon, and even the beings described by the Vatican's Chief Exorcist, the late Monsignor Corrado Balducci, suggest highly-intelligent non-human lifeforms.
Some of which, according to them, can be rather dismissive of humans. And certainly sometimes dangerous---otherwise there would be no need for "magic circles."They are also often associated with particular planets and therefore fall somewhat into both modern categories: ET and/or Interdimensional.
