Richard Wagner - DAS RHEINGOLD - Entrance of the Gods into Valhalla (Solti, 1958)

Meyerbeer Smith


287,643 views  - August 19, 2016

DAS RHEINGOLD
Vorabend des Bühnenfestspiels ‘Der Ring des Nibelungen’
Composer and librettist: Richard Wagner (1813–1883)
First performance: Nationaltheater, Munich, 22 September 1869

SETTING: In and around the Rhine, mythic times

PLOT: At the bottom of the river Rhine, the Nibelung dwarf Alberich steals the Rhine gold from the Rhinemaidens and, renouncing love, forges it into a ring of power.  Elsewhere, Wotan (=Odin), ruler of the gods, has ordered the giants Fafner and Fasolt to build a castle.  Wotan refuses to give them the price they asked: Freia, goddess of youth and beauty.  The giants kidnap Freia, and will only return her in exchange for Alberich’s treasure.  Without Freia’s golden apples, the gods begin to grow old.  Wotan and Loge descend into Nibelheim, where Alberich has used the ring to make the other Nibelungs his slaves.  They capture Alberich, and take him to their mountain top.  They force Alberich to give up his treasure, including the ring, which Alberich curses.  Fafner and Fasolt quarrel over the treasure, and Fafner kills Fasolt.  The gods enter their new home, which Wotan names Walhall (Valhalla).  The Rhinemaidens lament the loss of their gold.


Entrance of the Gods into Valhalla

Fafner has just slain Fasolt, to the horror of the gods.  Donner (=Thor) god of thunder, summons a storm to clear the air.  The clouds part to reveal a rainbow bridge spanning the Rhine.  Wotan praises the majesty of Valhalla, and leads the gods across the bridge.  Loge (=Loki), god of fire, hangs back; he believes the gods are hastening to their end, and considers turning himself back into fire.  The Rhinemaidens ask the gods to return the gold, but Wotan orders them to be quiet.  Loge tells them that they must now bask in the glory of the gods.

Chart of important Wiccan symbols every Witch should know and their meaning. Also: the wheel of the year, runes, and alchemical elements: Fire, Air, Water, Earth, and Spirit, and other protection sigils.

From the Horned God and Moon Goddess to the Witches Knot, these wiccan magic symbols are used for protection, power, good luck, love and a lot more. Their origins and history can be traced back to the ancient Greek, Irish and even Hindu traditions.

Like other religions, Wicca has its own religious symbols which carry spiritual meanings and sacred power. You have likely seen some of these pictures before, so here's an opportunity to learn their meanings and origins. If you're thinking about getting a tattoo of a pagan symbol, a sigil, or wear a Wiccan charm, learn as much as you can about the origin of the symbol so you can wear it respectfully.

How to use these Wiccan symbols? You could charge them as sigils by carving them or drawing them on a piece of clothing, as jewelry, or in your bedroom/home. Some witches like to hang them near the front door or outside and use them as warding symbols of protection. You could also get a tattoo of a Wiccan symbol to remind you everyday of your faith and your identity as a Witch.

A brief interchange I had from this video lead me to a fundamental question


Deagánach Ó Marúnacathasaigh

The Triskelion represents Manannán Mac Lir the Irish / Celtic God of the Sea.

The Torqu ( what you call the horned God) is one of the many symbols OF Cernunnos the Irish / Celtic God of Nature

An snaidhm or The Celtic Knot is the symbol that represents Bríghíd the Irish Goddess of Agriculture, blacksmithing, fertillity, craftsmanship, childbirth and healing



Joseph

Cernunnos was the regional name in Gaul (modern day France), but there were horned gods in many places.



Deagánach Ó Marúnacathasaigh

@Joseph  Yes he was a general Celtic deity but I'm afraid no one would know the name Chornachahaon which is the Irish Cernunnos

 

What was the name for the Horned God in the Val Camonica?



************

 

 

Cerniéra - The horned god in Val Camonica?

If Mòna is the name of the Goddess in Camunian, then what was the name of the God? There are many names of the Horned God across western Europe. Cernunnos is the one that most comes to mind, with a lot of local names: Cern, Cernunno, Cerunico, Kern, Kernunno, Kernunnos, etc. I was able to find one possibility for the Camunian Horned God: "Cerniéra." This word means "interlocking closure," which is cryptic enough. In Asatru, the word Odin can be translated as "master of the order," which possibly could give a clue as the two definitions seem to convey a similar type of message and resonance. Interestingly enough, in the Camunian dialect, the word for "order" is "urdèn" which sounds like Odin! I don't think there's a religious connection there, but I do think that there is a Proto-European linguistic connection as many of the words in Camunian are Proto-European and extremely ancient.

The men in so many of these traditions were the "head of the family," while the women were the "head of the house," and that found its way into Christian cultures. In Italian culture, the mother is at the center of the family, while the father is the final authority, but that authority is not absolute. The Father is Law, while the Mother is Justice. Going clear back into the ancient world, the husband was out on the hunt, or defending the tribe, clan, or homestead, while the wife stayed at home with the children and took care of domestic or village life, including leadership roles within that village and garden. Later, the male took care of economic matters, while the wife took care of domestic matters, so they didn't collectively "compete." However, they competed within their own social milieu. So were the divine masculine and divine feminine energies in the old pagan Val Camonica defined as Cerniéra and Mòna?

Of course, this would have been before the Latin language and the Phoenician system of letters. So academically, it would have been altered as "Cerniero" and "Mona" without the accent marks. The Gaelic language shown above is just as mysterious as the Camuno-Valtellinese-Orobie language was. At least in Gaelic, I think that the language can be studied and spoken, while the ancient language of the latter cannot as it was altered by Gaulish, then by Etruscans when they migrated into ancient Rhaetia, then by Latin after the Roman conquest, then by Germanic, and finally being replaced by Italian. All we have are clues and comparisons to go by. Also, there must have been so many words that were eventually just not used anymore, and forgotten, and didn't make it into the latter days of when the Lombard language was a truly living language in the Alps of Lombardy and a few locales in Switzerland.

Canada Lynx Family on the Hunt...

ThomasJSpence images

This family of Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) hunts well together. While the kittens are in the roadside woods stalking snowshoe hare, the mother waits in the road for them to flush the hare into the roadway.  Though I missed the actual flush and grab, I was able to catch the before and after. The actual kill happened in about 3 seconds and I had lowered the camera for a few seconds to watch, so I missed it :). It's unbelievable how fast they are. The mother then makes sure the hare is dead, then tears it into a few pieces so everyone can have a chunk to dine on.

The whole hunt, kill and eat lasted about an hour and a half. They were not too concerned with my presence. At one point, three of the cats walked RIGHT by me as I took photos.  After they ate, they lounged in the road for 15 minutes, licking paws, laying down, then they resumed the hunt for more hare. I have read that they will eat about one snowshoe hare per day, so they still had a lot of hunting to do to feed the group.

It's interesting in that they seem to be living like a pride of lions, rather than solitary.

'How the World's Oldest Booze Is Finally Becoming Cool'

By James Chrisman - Thrillist.com - April 25, 2019

Mead is a terrible name for a drink. Honestly, it's neither cute, nor sexy, nor all that easily comprehensible. Often, it just sounds like you're saying "meat.” That's good comedy, for sure, but it's atrocious branding.

Mead -- or honey wine -- has existed for thousands of years. Almost every civilization on Earth figured out how to ferment honey at some point or another, long before beer or wine, or even Fireball. With that legacy, spanning our planet and its history, you'd think it'd get a little respect. At the very least, you'd think people would know a little about it.

Yet, when most of us consider mead, we just picture frilly-panted Renaissance courtiers, or pointy-helmeted vikings, or men in cargo shorts bellowing, "m'lady." Plenty of trend pieces invoke these tropes because they're the easiest way to provide context, but the clichés are more than a little misleading about the drink's history.

You’re probably not picturing a 9,000-year-old Neolithic Chinese jar, for instance, when you hear the word; or first-century Romans penning recipes that call for rain water; or medicinal mead in 13th-century Wales; or the ancient and on-going mead tradition in Ethiopia based around tej, the country's national beverage.

In America, mead has long been something to sample at the odd renaissance fair. Not anymore. Ten years ago, there were around 150 meaderies in the US. Today, that's up to roughly 500, plus 200 more awaiting federal license approval.

Though more people are making the beverage, it's still oddly hard to find in bars and grocery stores. But thanks to a dedicated community of mead loyalists, that is starting to shift. Soon, "grabbing a glass of mead," might roll off the tongue as naturally and easily as "a glass of wine" or "a beer." In fact, the oldest booze in the world might finally be cool.

A recent episode of Ancient Aliens, entitled 'The Druid Connection', features the megalithic site in New Hampshire called "America's Stonehenge." First named "Mystery Hill," this monument is imbued with politics; mainly the mainstream denial that anyone other than the ancestors of Native Americans could possibly have come to the Americas before Leif Erickson. To most people, "if the mainstream establishment and their financiers don't give their blessing, it didn't happen." Usually when a fossil or artifact is discovered which contradicts mainstream theories (now FALSE theories), it's buried in deep storage and rarely or ever seen or spoken of. With a megalithic site however, this becomes difficult.

RIP Rosemary Ellen Guiley

Coast To Coast AM - July 22, 2019

Coast to Coast AM is deeply saddened to share the news that prolific paranormal author Rosemary Ellen Guiley has passed away at the age of 69. A dear friend of the show, she was our go-to-authority on such topic as dreams, demons, and the afterlife, in her more than 60 appearances over the years. "It was in 1996 that I first knew of Rosemary, while doing my Nighthawk show in St. Louis, when I stumbled across her Encyclopedia of Dreams," said George Noory, and "in 2003, when I began hosting Coast, I brought Rosemary along as a guest and we never looked back."

"She had been battling cancer for some time," George continued, "yet continued to go to conferences, write books, and appear on radio and television programs." Driven by a childhood interest in the strange and unusual, she authored more than 65 books over the course of her prodigious career. In those works, which were translated into 17 languages, she explored a vast array of paranormal topics that included angels, UFOs, cryptids, magic, the djinn, time slips, black mirror scrying, and many other esoteric realms. Her encyclopedias on such topics as witchcraft, the mystical, demons, and ghosts are considered an invaluable resource for those in the paranormal community.

A certified hypnotist, she often took a hands-on approach to the paranormal and was fluent in such abilities as Tarot reading, bioenergy healing, and dream interpretation. Guiley's formidable and expansive knowledge of the esoteric led to her serving on the board of a number of paranormal organizations which explored such diverse topics as consciousness studies, alien contact, and the afterlife. The founder and president of the publishing imprint, Visionary Living, she also served as consulting editor and Executive Editor of FATE magazine. In recognition of her immense contribution to the field, she received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Upper Peninsula Paranormal Research Society in 2005.

Rosemary Ellen Guiley will be profoundly missed by all of us here at Coast to Coast AM and we thank her for her valiant contributions to the program. We extend our deepest condolences to her husband Joe, and her family.

As a tribute to Rosemary Ellen Guiley, who recently passed away, we present this fascinating hour from October 2015, when she kicked off our yearly Ghost-to-Ghost show, with a discussion of black mirror scrying, and how this technique is used to contact the dead. Scrying means to gaze and to discern dimly, Guiley explained. "Black mirrors are used in dim light and they reveal things... the past, the future, the astral plane, the dead, the spirits, and amazing things can happen by gazing into a black mirror."

Viejo San Juan Parangaricutiro

AtlasObscura.com

This church, buried halfway in lava rock, is all that remains of a Mexican village destroyed by a volcano.

On February 20, 1943, a new volcano began to rise from a cornfield, erupting and slowly consuming two villages in lava and ash.

It’s said that, as Parícutin erupted, the San Juan Parangaricutiro church bells danced, two miles away. The bells sounded, the ground rumbled, and the lava began to flow. It took a year for the lava to reach and melt the rock of the cemetery walls around this small church, but the lava did finally flow over the graves, leaving the church tower and altar untouched. The Parícutin volcano continued to erupt for another eight years, but the small church withstood it all.

Luckily, the townspeople evacuated long before the lava reached the town, and no one was killed. They quickly began building a new church — the Nuevo San Juan Paragaricutiro — in a nearby area unaffected by the eruption.

Today, the original San Juan Parangaricutiro church still stands, halfway buried in solidified lava rock, with the massive cinder cone of Parícutin looming in the background. It is all that remains of the village. Climbing over the volcanic rock to see the church that survived the catastrophe has become a tourist experience, and a major source of revenue for the region.

Temple of Saturn
"Saturno"

The ancient name for the Italian peninsula was Saturnia, a place where the god Saturn was revered. The main celebration in ancient Rome was Saturnalia, a celebration of the god Saturn. Then there's the Temple of Saturn in Rome, constructed in 497 BC. There's even a spa town in Tuscany called Saturnia, inhabited since ancient times. This past Thursday I found myself with ninety minutes to blow before an appointment, so I drove to the nearby Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in Colma, where numerous famous local people have been laid to rest. It was such a beautiful morning. I walked through the main mausoleum where I noticed a name of a man who had passed away in 1919. His name was an interesting one: Leopoldo P. Saturno. Of course Saturno literally means "Saturn." There's an ample amount of ancient Saturnian symbolism present in the Roman Catholic Church.

 'Meet the people who still use Myspace: "It's given me so much joy"'

TheGuardian.com - June 6, 2018

Once it was the biggest social network; now it’s a ghost town. But for a handful of hardcore users, Myspace remains essentialOnce it was the biggest social network; now it’s a ghost town. But for a handful of hardcore users, Myspace remains essential

Almost every day, Kenneth Scalir takes a trip to the library or a cafe near his home in Sherman Oaks, California, to spend about an hour on his favourite site: Myspace.

Scalir, 48, is one of a dwindling group of people still committed to what was once the most popular social networking platform in the world, with more than 100 million users at its peak. While most people have long abandoned Myspace in favour of Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat, Scalir roams the digital graveyard searching for signs of life.

“Myspace is such a huge part of my life. I’ve met new people I otherwise wouldn’t have met and learned about new fashions and bands,” said Scalir, who goes by KROQ Ken online because of his love for the alternative rock station.

“It has given me so much joy,” he said. “When I didn’t have a girlfriend or lovers, at least I had Myspace.”

Scalir joined Myspace in early 2004, about six months after the site launched. “It was real addicting,” he said.

He loved how the site allowed users to customise their profiles and discover new music. In the early days, he would regularly chat to other users and in a handful of cases met up with digital friends offline.“It has given me so much joy,” he said. “When I didn’t have a girlfriend or lovers, at least I had Myspace.”

Today when Scalir logs in, it’s a different story. Although he now has more than 700,000 connections, interactions with other humans are rare. Most profiles have been abandoned.

I never cared much for facebook. I would definitely go back to MySpace if they shored it up and made it more communities oriented, instead of everybody being mixed up in everyone else's business. For example, allowing a better equivalent to the old Yahoo groups. I also thought it was fun--as I recall--when similar "groups" could conflate a bit on MySpace.

Thelema symbol: The classic Saturnian hexagram with inlaying Vehmic symbol

Just as the north pole of Saturn itself features a hexagram with a five-pointed star in the middle, the symbol of Thelema features the same occultic "As above, so below" symbolism. A Unicursal hexagram with what looks to me as a Listian five-petaled rose at the center.

The Tailsman of Saturn

How did the ancients know what was on the north pole of Saturn?

The north pole of Saturn itself

A five-pointed star, inside of a hexagram "cube," inside of a circle of nature. The same as the Thelemic seal above it!

'What is the Future of Thelema?'

By Soror - ThelemicUnion.com - February 10, 2019

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

For a movement born in 1904, one might think we’d have grown a bit larger by now… Yes, we have Organizations. There are Festivals. There are very serious Conferences with lots of Powerpoints, which have citations and probably too much text in them. We’ve got fancy books that smell nice, and give our homes the illusion of decor. But even so, in these dark times, there are not that many lights on the horizon to guide us toward Destiny.

Yes, I know, there are many groups out there that consider themselves “Thelemic”. There are plenty of Orders that advertise online, for sure. It is doubtful how many of these groups have more than 5 or 10 members, though. If we are serious, there are not many Thelemic organizations that have more than 1,000 members, and even my local knitting club has more members than that. There are probably 5 churches within your zip code that boast more members than that. And we can say maybe a small handful internationally have these numbers. I think we must admit this is rather insignificant. This is in light of our Prophet’s outsized influence on popular culture since he has been haunting the streets of London. Crowley’s infamous personality commands great attention at regular intervals — even now, there’s regularly some movie or show that has some strange connection to him — but it hasn’t really lead to any kind of substantial Thelemic Movement.

Many are probably still unaware that the Pacific Northwest is one of the nations major wine growing regions. Actually, this wine growing climate also includes the southern part of British Columbia.

Blog Talk TV memories

Blog Talk TV was a live video streaming site which allowed users to broadcast more-or-less whatever they wanted to live. It also saved the content, but it was very different than YouTube. BlogTalkTV is different than the current political program of the same name, and different than BlogTalkRadio. It was set up for users to enter a channel room and chat. I remember years ago of visiting the site and having some memorable experiences. I remember a 39 year old woman who was a dead ringer for Audrey Hepburn, only she did not look a day older than 19! She was rather doll-like without coming off as artificial, and she had great mood and energy. She had guests on in a conference type setup where you could see both of them at the same time. Then there was "Venetian Princess" from Boston, who made YouTube videos for children and young teens, and there was a lot of them for her streams. There were authors who would live stream, which was interesting.

I recall one late evening I ran into a teenage boy from Twin Peaks who was live streaming from a window at about 800 ft. elevation with a good view of downtown San Francisco. I was also at about the same elevation from San Bruno Mountain to the south. His dimly lit makeshift studio on top of a closed piano actually reminded me of an after hours radio studio. There was usually about ten people in that channel room. It reminded me of my late father back in the CB radio days, speaking to people from various locales... including Twin Peaks. Blog Talk TV is now YouNow.com, although I don't know if it's the same as before. I suppose that BlogTalkTV wasn't all that much different than the YouTube live streams. Maybe it was just such a new concept back at that time.

Young Neanderthal woman by Tom Björklund

A very curious portrait. Despite her different features--non-Human apparently--she could walk down the street in an American city unnoticed today. Given the same life conditions, would she think and speak the same? Would she possess great physical strength? Could she be your trusted friend? Would you trust her to babysit your child? I'm guessing essentially "yes" to these questions.

"I love these character studies of Neanderthals by the artist Tom Björklund. So rarely are they pictured as if they were real people." -- Matthew Darby, Twitter User

Below, a couple more of Tom Björklund's many thoughtful Neanderthal artworks. There are actually a number of non-Human types around the world who have bred with Humans in the deep past, such as the Denosovans in Asia. In other words, virtually all Humans have non-Human admixture.






There has been much evidence, chiefly from burial sites, that Neanderthals were actually a warm and close-knit people; far from the image of mindless brutes.

A Flag for Michigan's Upper Peninsula

"This is a flag I designed for Michigan's Upper Peninsula after discussion about it on r/yooper. It is a Scandanavian cross, which I felt appropriate in light of both the taiga biome and the large portion of Yoopers of Scandanavian / Finlander ancestry.

"The color scheme of Green on Blue gives the impression of land surrounded by water, which is fairly apt for a peninsula. The copper fimbriation representative of the copper mining that once was the primary industry of the peninsula.

"The blue field, as well, adds a touch of connection to Michigan's flag, with its blue field.

"I have an album with a few of the designs I had come up with beside this, including an inversion of the blue and green as seen on this cross, a blue/green bisected minimalist flag, the same with an outline of the UP on it, and the UP in green on a blue field."
