Lore : The Ides of March

One of the most tragic moments in the history of Rome was certainly the cesaricide, but the death of Caesar was not only a human event since it was able to shake the realms that transcended humanity. The Coven scholars recall that the day before the death of Caesar there was a very high number of omens, a quantity that had never been seen before, it was as if the cosmic balance was about to be broken forever. The various omens that preceded the death of Caesar were:

. Heavenly fires burned mysteriously in the sky

. Lonely birds stopped in the Roman forum to do nothing but look at the void
. At night there were nocturnal noises that were disturbing, and some claimed that they were the cries of the Earth
. Caesar, during the sacrifice of an animal, did not find the heart of this and this event frightened the people of Rome
. The horses that passed the Rubicon with Caesar refused to run, some started to cry and others let themselves die

. A small bird, a wren that in Rome was considered the royal bird, alighted in the Curia of Pompey, or where the Senate met, and carried in its beak a twig of laurel but was immediately killed by crows that came from nowhere 

. It is said that the priests of Jupiter had seen the beginning of an era of pain and suffering

. Caesar was approached by a soothsayer named Artemidorus who put her on guard of the danger that awaited her and of the approaching death
. Caesar was also stopped by a haruspex named Spurinna who told her to pay attention to the Ides of March and Caesar mocked this and said that by now the Ides of March had ended

. Even the third wife of Caesar, Calpurnia, had the feeling that the end of Caesar would be near and asked her not to leave the house but Caesar reassured her and went out anyway 

. Finally, Caesar dreamed of being taken by Jupiter to the Elysian Fields the night before his death and there he met Romulus together with Aeneas and the two embraced her and carried her to a golden throne on which an eagle rested.

These omens, for the Coven, were not something ordinary and certainly were a sign that the world was suffering from the loss of Gaius Julius Caesar. For this reason the Grand Master Arturo Leoni VI said that the caesaricide was both a crime against Caesar and a crime against humanity itself.
