Your comment about the sky makes me feel you should meditate in a quiet spot. Raising both arms and letting them flow like water. You can not wake it before it’s time - not you anyway (me either). Can anyone or anything - I don’t know.

Hungry ones want money. Your “ram” is Aries - a constellation and astrological sign.

Various myths and legends feature similar stringed instruments, most notably the Fossegrim, a Norwegian water spirit who teaches fiddling in exchange for offerings, and the idea of a pact with the Devil for violinistic mastery, as seen with violinist Niccolò Paganini and Giuseppe Tartini's "Devil's Trill" sonata. The ancient Greek instrument, the lira da braccio, also had mythological and celestial associations.

I don’t know if you are a country music fan but “the devil went down to Georgia” comes to mind. He does whatever we can do and better to lure us. (I say this being not particularly religious at my age - raised and confirmed Catholic - but a believer in symbolism)
