Yule 2020 - The year finally comes to an end..


Cabin in the Snow (Windows 10 Spotlight)


Currently, "cabin in the snow" is the featured Bing image on Windows 10 Spotlight. I couldn't find the particular image they used, but the above fits the concept well. Some of the images have that fully "snowed in" look to them. The light emanating from the cabin, which is just entrenched in the snow, woods, mountains, etc. A few have a more empowering look to them, upon a higher plateau, a large clearing, and/or with more of a view.

Bear Creek Country Kitchens

 

Since our early beginnings high in the Heber Valley of the Wasatch Mountains, Bear Creek Country Kitchens has delivered great hearty homestyle dishes that the whole family will enjoy. This is part of the text on one of their products, and I was curious about where these places are? Above is Mt. Nebo (11,929 ft.), the highest peak in the Wasatach Range in Utah. Although the company is now headquartered in New Jersey, apparently after being sold to larger corporations on more than one occasion, they were founded in central Utah on the western edge of the Rocky Mountains. The name "Bear Creek Country" is just a brand, and not applicable to the geography in that region. The Heber Valley and Heber City (below) are adjacent to the Wasatch Mountains.

Yule and Full Cold Moon


Yule is usually celebrated between December 20 through 23, but of course officially it's December 21; the Winter Solstice, the first day of winter. With traditions such as the Yule log, it could be celebrated for two weeks or so. The Full Cold Moon will occur on the evening of Tuesday, December 29 at 7:28 PST.

'The Curse of the Bayou'


On Tuesday, December 22, the TV program 'Atlas of Cursed Places' on the National Geographic channel (276 on DirecTV) will be airing an episode entitled 'The Curse of the Bayou'.

 

[I didn't get this post off when I wanted to, but if you don't get this in time... they replay these, often prior to the next episode next week]

 

In 1915 in Louisiana, a local hoodoo practitioner and healer named, Aunt Julia, was enraged at the loggers cutting down her swamp so she invoked a curse on the people and the land. On the day of her death a deadly hurricane swept through the bayou destroying 3 towns and killing most of the people living in it. A century later, locals still blame all of the hardships in Louisiana on her curse.

 

 

Legend of Julia Brown

Some of the surviving locals began telling stories of a voodoo priestess named Julia Brown that predicted the event. According to local historians the town of Frenier had no doctors and Julia Brown likely served as the local healer. A few months before she died she began repeating the phrase "One day I'm gonna die, and I'm gonna take all of you with me."

Survivors said that a few weeks before the hurricane arrived she began sitting on her front porch rocking back and forth while playing her guitar and singing:

"When I die,

I take the whole town with me.

When I die,

I take the whole town."
 

-- Julia Brown

 

According to the legend on September 29, 1915 Julia Brown died and most of the population gathered to bury the voodoo priestess. During the funeral at around four o'clock the hurricane arrived and completely destroyed the town.

These traditions actually originated in West Africa and were essentially brought to the Americas where they unfolded as an underground culture, displaying tremendous enduring, longevity, and power. For traditional African-Americans to try to become "Wiccans" is metaphorically like trying to sneak into someone's shed through the window at the dead of night.... when in fact they have a glorious mansion of their very own right across the street!

Voodoo vs Hoodoo (The Difference Between Hoodoo & Voodoo)

Crescent City Conjure

Hoodoo vs Voodoo ( a clear explanation of the difference)

In this video, we talk about the difference between Hoodoo, Rootwork, Conjure, Voodoo, And Vodou.

There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding the difference between the two, and I hope this video provides a little bit of clarity.

You often hear these two words interchangeably, but when you are serious about your spiritual path you need to understand the difference!

Hoodoo is an ancestor based folk magic practice. And Vodou is a religion.

'20 Mel Ramos Art Pieces: Pop Art Nudes You Have to See'

The provocative artwork of the late Mel Ramos. There's a certain visceral quality to them. Beautiful photograph-like images with miniscule body flaws that make them seem even more lifelike.


Mel Ramos

Melvin John Ramos (July 24, 1935 – October 14, 2018) was an American figurative painter, specializing most often in paintings of female nudes, whose work incorporates elements of realist and abstract art.

Born in Sacramento, California, to a first generation Portuguese-Azorean immigrant family, he gained his popularity as part of the pop art movement of the 1960s. Ramos is "best known for his paintings of superheroes and voluptuous female nudes emerging from cornstalks or Chiquita bananas, popping up from candy wrappers or lounging in martini glasses".[2] He was also a university art professor.

Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds Don't Pull Your Love with lyrics

sue581000

Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds was a 1970s AM soft rock trio from Los Angeles. The original members were Dan Hamilton (guitar/lead vocal), Joe Frank Carollo (bass/vocal), and Tommy Reynolds (multi-instrumentalist/vocal), all of whom had previously played in The T-Bones, a 1960s band noted for the instrumental hit "No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)".

The group first hit the charts in 1971 with "Don't Pull Your Love." Reynolds left the group in late 1972, and was replaced by keyboardist Alan Dennison; however, the band still kept the name 'Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds'. This revised line-up performed the group's biggest hit, 1975's "Fallin' in Love


Don't Pull Your Love" is the title of a song written by Brian Potter and Dennis Lambert. The song was originally recorded in 1971 by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, reaching four on both the US Billboard Hot 100 and the Easy Listening chart

Full Flower Moon 2019


The Full Flower Moon will occur on the evening of May 18.... this Saturday night.


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


From The Old Farmer's Almanac - Moon Calendar 2019


In a Bulgarian folktale, the Sun asks the hedgehog why he is nibbling on stones instead of attending the Sun's wedding to the Moon. The hedgehog replies that he is in training for when no food will grow because of all the little sun offspring that will be shining in the sky. When the Sun takes his point and cancels the wedding, the hedgehog has saved the world.

"Louisiana Voodoo"

"We will cast a shadow over you that can't be distinguished from Fate." --"Legends of Haiti"

Featured at the start of the 2014 film 'Jessabelle', apparently this quote is tied to Voodoo. The film, set in southern  Louisiana, tries to make a Haitian connection to it; however, these old West African traditions actually continued and developed separately in Louisiana.

'Jessabelle' is, like the recent horror flick 'The Nun', more in line with the many "gotcha!" type films. I think those films should be critiqued and categorized more on that level. I loved the environment and mood of both films though.


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


I don't get the standard pay movie channels, so I just see films as I can. Now and then HBO gives a free three-day sampling, and I tape a few. I would like to review films, but it takes a lot of time to do it right. I liked some of the Sci-Fi films in recent years, such as 'Interstellar', 'Oblivion', 'The Martian', and 'Prometheus'.

I recall one time hearing Robert Redford state stating that "Anglo culture"--whatever that specifically means--has lost the "art the storytelling." I think he said it in reference to perhaps Mexican culture. At the time I think that I saw it as a somewhat antagonistic comment. However, the real point should have been that a whole lot of people around the world have lost this concept from their lives. People still of course tell of experiences, but not in an explicit "storytelling" manner. I listen to some of these on my iPod when I'm working.

A solar eclipse is coming to America. Here’s what you’ll see where you live.

By Casey Miller, Ryan Mark, and Brian Resnick - vox.com - Jul 25, 2017

On Monday August 21, a solar eclipse will cut across the entire United States. And wherever you are, you will be able to see it. Even though the “totality” — the area where the sun is completely blocked out by the moon — is only 70 miles wide, the whole country (even Alaska and Hawaii) will experience a partial eclipse.

This is what you’ll see, and the time you’ll see it, in your zip code.

We recommend punching in a few different ones to see how the eclipse experience will vary across the country. Salem, Oregon (97301), is going to see a total eclipse. Downtown Los Angeles (90012) will see 62 percent of the sun blocked at the peak. In Lake Charles, Louisiana (70601), it’ll be 71 percent.

L.U.C.I.F.E.R. Device and Chapel of the Holy Cross (Legend of the Verde Valley) Documentary

Mike Davis

NOTE: This is a chapter out of the series and book "Legends of the Verde Valley" which you can get by licking on the link below.

This short documentary makes a few connects between the Chapel of the Holy Cross, The L.U.C.F.E.R. Device, The Vatican, Premier Vortex location, and the possibility the church was built upon sacred ground giving rise to the question why does the church point a cross to the sky? What is it trying to signal? Questions of interest for further works in progress in this series.

In 1984, the University of Arizona and the Vatican selected Mount Graham as a site for a complex of telescopes. The fact that this is a sacred place for the Apache was not taken into consideration which would ultimately be the start of "The Long, Bitter Battle over Mount Graham."

For many Native American nations there are certain geographic places which have special spiritual meanings. These sacred places are often portals to the spirit worlds. For the Apache in Arizona, one of these sacred places is Mount Graham which is said to be one of the most holy places in the world because of the gateways and portals found there.

“L.U.C.I.F.E.R., which stands for “Large Binocular Telescope Near-infrared Utility with Camera and Integral Field Unit for Extragalactic Research,” is a chilled instrument attached to a telescope. And yes, it’s named for the Devil, whose name itself means “morning star” [and which] happens to be right next to the Vatican Observatory on Mt. Graham in Tucson.” — Rebecca Boyle, Popular Science Magazine

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

Why would the Vatican name one of their projects "Lucifer?" If someone is Luciferian, fine! Just say I am Luciferian. Just as with many Christians... to the  global elite, everythng is "the Devil." The Devil, Satan, Lucifer, Pan, Kali, Cernunnos, Apollo, any stag or horned fertility god, etc. Lucifer is not Satan, but there can be a conflated meaning.

I'm planning to visit the Filoli house in the next few weeks. For me it's not really the size or luxury of the house, but the space, tranquility, and especially the nearby wilderness of the Santa Cruz Mountains. I was on a trail just last night at about 10:30, dark sky, crescent moon, stars, mountain, trees and thick brush, and the howls of coyotes. Now combine that with a mansion, what could be more desirable than that? If I had a house on the edge of the wilderness, I would be happy even if I didn't have any money to speak of.

Teutonic Order Anthem

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

Teutonic Order

The Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary in Jerusalem (official names: Latin: Ordo domus Sanctæ Mariæ Theutonicorum Hierosolymitanorum, German: Orden der Brüder vom Deutschen Haus der Heiligen Maria in Jerusalem), commonly the Teutonic Order (Deutscher Orden, Deutschherrenorden or Deutschritterorden), is a Catholic religious order founded as a military order c. 1190 in Acre, Kingdom of Jerusalem. Purely religious since 1929, it still confers limited honorary knighthoods.

The order was formed to aid Christians on their pilgrimages to the Holy Land and to establish hospitals. Its members have commonly been known as the Teutonic Knights, having a small voluntary and mercenary military membership, serving as a crusading military order for protection of Christians in the Holy Land and the Baltics during the Middle Ages.






If a violent foreign enemy invaded Germany,
 and rioted, looted, raped, robbed, murdered, and maimed....
I wonder what the Teutonic Knights would have done?





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

My top 3 "move scapegoats"

1) Lynette from 'An Officer and a Gentleman'

She may have been a gold digger of sorts, but not any more so than than Paula. Talk about "projecting!" If she was guilty of anything, it certainly wasn't due to Sid's suicide! Was it her fault that he quit? NO. Was it her fault that he committed suicide? NO. Zack and Lynette didn't have a speck of evidence that she did anything wrong. In movie-fact, she did not. They had an argument because he quit, period. What would self-righteous Paula have don't differently if in the same situation? What is worse is that it's just left upon her shoulder to carry this non-existent guilt. Extremely cruel. When Paula said "God help you"... grrr


2) Christine from 'Family Business'

Jesse was not only a crook, but a proud crook who openly admired Gypsy thieves for their honesty of a clear conscience. How the hell could he call Christine a "parasite!?" Her crime was victimless to boot! Jesse's crime could have coast people's lives!! Jeopardizing people's lives so he can steal money for himself. Isn't that infinitely more parasitical? At the least, his "projection" on Christine was insanely hypocritical.


3) Randy from 'The Wrestler'

After just beginning the process of patching things up, his estranged daughter Stephanie "projected" all of her legitimate anger toward her father--literally wrote him off permanently!--all because he made one unintentional mistake. She could have said "don't call me for awhile," and put the ball back in his court... or to punish him. It was extremely cruel, but she did have old baggage as sort've an excuse.

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

'Box of Moonlight'

The late Lisa Blount, who played "Lynette," was in a very "different" sort've movie in 1996 entitled 'Box of Moonlight'. John Turturro plays the part of a construction foreman, something of a tough guy, who meets Sam Rockwell's offbeat and vulnerable character while driving out in the countryside. It's so different; it could almost take place today... or in 1950! It's like a lot of movies in that it's about a regular person having an experience, an adventure.... only it doesn't feel fake at all. The characters are real. Pretty good movie... sometimes harsh.. in other ways innocent.

At one point they're in the woods near a body of water, and they meet two sisters... one played by Lisa Blount. John Turturro's character was married, and Sam Rockwell's homeless character wasn't in any position to meet any women. They all just went swimming, without any social or sexual tension; like when you were a kid and could make a few friends like in an hour. The two sisters were like simple country girls so to speak. It's been so long since I saw it; I've forgotten the particulars, but it's a good film. Sam Rockwell is apparently from Daly City, not far from me. Lisa Blount passed away in 2010.

Big corporations pay millions in public relations to make customers associate their brand with a warm and fuzzy feeling. It is imperative that the soulless and inherently greedy nature of the corporation be hidden behind a family-friendly facade. But some companies just don’t give a hoot.

Flowing Hair Half Dimes (1794-1795)

I have held onto coins which I've come across over the years. I keep ones which I think have some interesting feature, such as a very rustic 1839 penny, an old German coin with a Germanic eagle, Roman coins, Indian heads, or coins with female heads that remind me of perhaps Athena or Freya. This one caught my eye recently. I like that "Lady Liberty" is presented as not really beautiful, but has a certain grand-quality to her. The eagle is really an Egyptian Phoenix due to the Masonic influence.

Another is a 1791 Scottish St. Andrews half-penny, in which the "X"--to me--could symbolize the ancient symbol of "Man." Sometimes something can just be what you want it to be. Officially he is St. Andrews, but to you it could symbolize someone else perhaps.

New Horizons Flyover of Pluto

NASA.gov Video

Using actual New Horizons data and digital elevation models of Pluto and its largest moon Charon, mission scientists have created flyover movies that offer spectacular new perspectives of the many unusual features that were discovered and which have reshaped our views of the Pluto system – from a vantage point even closer than the spacecraft itself.

This dramatic Pluto flyover begins over the highlands to the southwest of the great expanse of nitrogen ice plain informally named Sputnik Planitia. The viewer first passes over the western margin of Sputnik, where it borders the dark, cratered terrain of Cthulhu Macula, with the blocky mountain ranges located within the plains seen on the right. The tour moves north past the rugged and fractured highlands of Voyager Terra and then turns southward over Pioneer Terra -- which exhibits deep and wide pits -- before concluding over the bladed terrain of Tartarus Dorsa in the far east of the encounter hemisphere.

Digital mapping and rendering were performed by Paul Schenk and John Blackwell of the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston.

Watch: NASA Releases Amazing Pluto Flyby Video

To celebrate the two-year anniversary of NASA's New Horizon probe arriving at Pluto, the space agency has released a breathtaking video showcasing the notoriously distant planet.

The remarkable presentation, culled from data obtained during the 2015 study of Pluto, provides viewers with the perspective of flying over the planet from around 8,000 miles above its surface.

While there are no signs of UFOs or alien bases, the footage is still pretty awesome when one considers that Pluto, at its furthest point, sits an astounding 4.6 billion miles away from the Earth.

As such, the video constitutes what is probably the only view of Pluto that many of us will have in our lifetimes, since it's highly unlikely that humans will make their way out to the planet anytime soon.

That said, based on the barren and seemingly unforgiving landscape of the planet, we're not sure anyone would really want to visit the faraway world anyway.

Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather 2nd (TORONTO) Press Conference!

Octagon News

Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather 2nd Press Conference TORONTO! Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather Press Conference BEST MOMENTS!

Conor McGregor: Conor Anthony McGregor (Irish: Conchúr Antóin Mac Gréagóir; born 14 July 1988) is an Irish professional mixed martial artist who is currently signed to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). He is the reigning UFC Lightweight Champion, and former UFC Featherweight Champion. During his career, McGregor has competed as a featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight.

In 2008, McGregor started his mixed martial arts (MMA) career and, in 2012, he won both the Cage Warriors Featherweight and Lightweight Championships, holding both titles concurrently before vacating them to sign with the UFC. In 2015, at UFC 194, McGregor defeated José Aldo for the UFC Featherweight Championship via knockout thirteen seconds into the first round. This was the fastest victory in UFC title fight history. Upon defeating Eddie Alvarez for the UFC Lightweight Championship at UFC 205, McGregor became the first fighter in the UFC's history to hold titles in two weight divisions simultaneously.

He is known for being the biggest pay-per-view draw in MMA, as well as his extravagant lifestyle and trash talking.

Floyd Mayweather: Floyd Joy Mayweather Jr. (born Floyd Joy Sinclair; February 24, 1977) is an American former professional boxer who competed from 1996 to 2015, and currently works as a boxing promoter. Widely considered to be one of the greatest boxers of all time, undefeated as a professional, and a five-division world champion, Mayweather won fifteen world titles and the lineal championship in four different weight classes (twice at welterweight).[1] As an amateur, he won a bronze medal in the featherweight division at the 1996 Olympics. Mayweather is a two-time winner of The Ring magazine's Fighter of the Year award (1998 and 2007), a three-time winner of the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA) Fighter of the Year award (2007, 2013, and 2015), and a six-time winner of the Best Fighter ESPY Award (2007–2010, 2012–2014).

In 2016, Mayweather was ranked by ESPN as the greatest boxer, pound for pound, of the last 25 years. In the same year, he peaked as BoxRec's number one fighter of all time, pound for pound, as well as the greatest welterweight of all time. Many sporting news and boxing websites ranked Mayweather as the best boxer in the world, pound for pound, twice in a span of ten years; including The Ring, Sports Illustrated, ESPN, BoxRec, Fox Sports, and Yahoo! Sports. He is also regarded as the best defensive boxer in the sport,[13] as well as being the most accurate puncher since the existence of CompuBox, having the highest plus–minus ratio in recorded boxing history. He finished his career with a record of 26 wins without a loss or draw in world title fights (10 by KO); 23 wins (9 KOs) in lineal title fights; 24 wins (7 KOs) against former or current world titlists; 12 wins (3 KOs) against former or current lineal champions; and 2 wins (1 KO) against International Boxing Hall of Fame inductees.

In addition to his accomplishments in the ring, Mayweather is well known for being one of the most lucrative pay-per-view (PPV) attractions of all time, in any sport. He topped the Forbes and Sports Illustrated lists of the 50 highest-paid athletes of 2012 and 2013 respectively, and the Forbes list again in both 2014 and 2015, listing him as the highest paid athlete in the world. In 2007, he founded Mayweather Promotions, his own boxing promotional firm after defecting from Bob Arum's Top Rank. Mayweather has generated approximately 19.5 million in PPV buys and $1.3 billion in revenue throughout his career, surpassing the likes of former top PPV attractions including Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Oscar De La Hoya, and Manny Pacquiao.

Mayweather-McGregor is a matchmakers dream. Two big egos with big followings; both trash-talking extraordinaires able to sell it to the public. A bout, which very possibly could end up being one-sided, may end up making more money than any boxing match in history. Everything depends on McGregor's jab. Theoretically, if he is able to use his good reach to establish a powerful jab while stalking Mayweather, then he may be able to do something when he can put him to the ropes. It seems logical that Mayweather will be able to land some serious counter punches against an inexperienced opponent.

14th April 1561: The Nuremberg Celestial Phenomenon

History Pod


http://www.historypod.net

On the morning of 14th April 1561, the people of Nuremberg in Germany witnessed a “dreadful apparition” in the sky.  Modern UFO enthusiasts have used the Nuremberg celestial phenomenon as evidence of extra-terrestrial life, although scientists have also put forward their explanation of why hundreds of people saw what they described as an aerial battle raging in front of the sun.

The spectacle was recorded by the artist Hans Glaser who lived in Nuremberg and so presumably witnessed the event himself.  He published a woodcut and text in a ‘broadsheet’ – a kind of newspaper that reveled in reporting strange or violent stories.  The woodcut shows cylindrical objects; multiple-coloured discs and globes, crosses, and even tubes that look like cannon barrels all moving in the sky.

There’s no way of knowing how accurate the woodcut is, or what caused the shapes in the sky, but recent science has pointed towards atmospheric phenomena.  UFO-skeptic Frank Johnson has written a convincing argument suggesting that the people of Nuremberg witnessed a parhelion, otherwise known as a sundog, caused by light refracting through clouds of ice crystals, along with other atmospheric tricks of the light including a low viewing angle of the sun.  Others suggest a city-wide outbreak of ergotism, where fungus growing on grain can cause hallucinations.

Whatever the cause, the celestial phenomenon terrified the people of Nuremberg who interpreted it as a warning from God.

It seems likely that whatever happened was beyond our understanding. Perhaps some battle in another dimension which briefly conflated with our world.

Top DARPA Projects That Should Creep You Out

Truthstream Media


(Truthstream Media.com) Dystopic Hollywood nightmares have nothing on real life military research projects. During Truthstream Media's June 29th broadcast on UnboundRadio.com, Melissa Melton listed off a long, creepy list of semi-secret projects the military is pursuing under DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). In addition to the many robots DARPA has created to mimic human walking, throw cinder blocks, run on four legs at cheetah speed, climb trees, grasp objects, kill targets and more, DARPA has announced projects including mapping the human brain, trying to create a physical, thinking brain for robots, computers that can think for themselves, tracking rat brains over the Internet, real-life Avatar projects, autonomous robots, electronic tattoos and pills swallowed to authenticate online access instead of passwords, mapping the neuroscience of the "fight or flight response," tracking heart beats and other long distance biometrics, quantifying and track "love" and emotive responses, mind controlling squids.... and much much more.

Mt. Vesuvius on fire!

Of course it's only a big fire, but it could eerily remind one of the destruction of Pompeii at the hands of the now dormant volcano of Mt. Vesuvius two thousand years ago. Image is from the article 'Creepy SKULL face appears in huge plume of smoke billowing from volcano'

'All blue-eyed people can be traced back to one ancestor who lived 10,000 years ago near the Black Sea'

Michael Hanlon - Daily Mail (UK) - February 1, 2008

Throughout history they have been the eyes that are prized.

Frank Sinatra's were legendary, Paul Newman's melted a million hearts while Cameron Diaz's dazzle in modern Hollywood.

But how - and why - blue eyes arose has always been something of a genetic mystery. Until now.

According to a team of researchers from Copenhagen University, a single mutation which arose as recently as 6-10,000 years ago was responsible for all the blue-eyed people alive on Earth today.

The team, whose research is published in the journal Human Genetics, identified a single mutation in a gene called OCA2, which arose by chance somewhere around the northwest coasts of the Black Sea in one single individual, about 8,000 years ago.

This, if true, would tend to support my "original Teutonic homeland" theory. Personally, I believe that this is more of an element of the whole truth, rather than an absolute truth.

Tracy Twyman is like the new Jordan Maxwell. A lot of occult researchers today, such as Michael Tsarion, were originally inspired by Maxwell. I don't just mean the metaphysical occult... but the social, political, economic, and religious occult as well.
