So far, awesome interpretations and takes on this spot of dialogue here tonight lads. I take mine from a different perspective field, esotericism.

>Minor Arcana
The symbols noted by Judge Holden in his phrase "Moons, coins, men." brought back to me visions of the tarot deck, both in the book and in the western traditions of mystery, specifically the Minor Arcana. These cards, are four suits of miscellaneous objects numbered in tens that presided over the elements, human faculties and the social classes of medieval Europe; these objects are: wands, swords, cups and pentacles. But what the catch is, is that pentacles can and have been switched with coins before and the symbolism stays the same. This is what the suit of coins represents: element of Earth, social class of merchants, and the faculty of possessions or the material body. What other anons have supposed here tonight is that the Judge holds chief precedence in terms of metaphorical and ranking/commanding possession of the Glanton gang entire, and the symbolism of the tarot confirms he holds metaphysical possession too.

>Chapter VII, Fortunes Read
What else there is to analyse is the scene towards the end of the seventh chapter, wherein certain members of the gang have their fortunes read by the family of magicians, here are their cards, according to my interpretation of the text, the google-translation of Spanish and my source of the cards meanings: 'The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, By Arthur Edward Waite' [1911]

Are there any books that involve but preferably focus on kingdom management/army building? Conan's chronicles got me kind of interested in that.

Please tell me about these cheeky chappy bantzmachines.

A breeze ruffled the neat hedges of Privet Drive, which lay silent and tidy under the inky sky, the very last place you would expect astonishing things to happen. Harry Potter rolled over inside his blankets without waking up. One small hand closed on the letter beside him and he slept on, not knowing he was special, not knowing he was famous, not knowing he would be woken in a few hours’ time by Mrs. Dursley’s scream as she opened the front door to put out the milk bottles, nor that he would spend the next few weeks being prodded and pinched by his cousin Dudley... He couldn’t know that at this very moment, people meeting in secret all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices: “To Harry Potter — the boy who lived!”

I moved to alaska with my gf at the time with no plans whatsoever made to see if I was really alive. We are now married and happier than ever after both fighting severe depression with suicide attempts in both of our pasts. At this point its really hard to be upset for long without thinking and learning some kind of lesson I could apply for later. Our lives are amazing. I can't see a post like this offer something anecdotal. Please anon follow your dreams.

Its that funny chemical called love that really pulls ya through.
