Ferguson, Tritons, and Tridents

You do not need this blog to tell you what is occurring in Ferguson, Missouri. It is all over the news. (Here's the timeline. Here's a summary about the shooting of Michael Brown and the demonstrations there that have turned violent.)

You may be interested, however, in what I mentioned on Twitter about this location on August 11th.

"Ferguson" is generally defined as the nearby city (just north of) and the neighorhood for the University of Missouri-St. Louis. The team name for that school is Tritons, and their logo incorporates tridents.

The only other college in the USA that shares the Tritons/tridents symbolism is the University of California-San Diego.

Coming next week...a roundtable of synchromystic writers comment on the meaning behind why so many tridents are being seen in recent incidents of note.
