This is an import marker for me, as problems mount for me here. I must rise above my situation. I'm sixty miles from home, and it's a really long sixty miles too. There's no place like home! I should be happy, because I had mapped out five places which I was planning on living for the rest of my life. Now I realize that won't occur. When I go back, I will stay permanently. There's a certain peace in clarity. This is my calling for this, and a lot of other things.

'Lost And Forgotten Goddess Asherah – Queen Consort Of The Sumerian God Anu And Ugaritic God El'

Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - April 12, 2017

Asherah – Chief Goddess Of The Canaanite Pantheon

In Ugaritic mythology, this lost and forgotten deity is referred to as The Lady Asherah of The Sea. Several unearthed ancient clay tablets and writings from Ugarit, which was once an ancient port city in what is today called Ras Shamra, in northern Syria describe goddess Asherah as the wife of chief god El, the West Semitic counterpart of god Anu.

God El was the ruler of heaven and goddess Asherah had the sea as her domain. It is said that she had as many as 70 children and among them were important gods such as Baal, Anath, and Mot. There are also ancient references to one of her servants who was a fisherman named Qadesh was-Amrur. He used to bring her fish and help her saddle her donkey.

Although goddess Asherah was worshipped in many ancient cities, there is little information about her before the period of Ugaritic myths. Her history is complex and shrouded in mystery.

To the Hittites, this goddess appears as Asherdu(s) or Asertu(s), the consort of Elkunirsa ("El the Creator of Earth") and mother of either 77 or 88 sons.

In one Sumerian inscription set up in honor of Hammurabi, King of Babylon, about 1763 B.C., she is mentioned as Ashratum, the bride of Anu. Since the Sumerian and Akkadian god Anu most likely corresponds to the Canaanite god El, historians think that goddess Asherah held the position of the chief or mother goddess for at least three centuries prior to the Ugaritic period.

'Cave fossil offers new clues about the huge hyenas that once roamed Europe'

David Moscato - Earth Touch News Network - May 12, 2017

Nestled in the mountain slopes of northern Spain is a cave called Los Aprendices, which has been collecting bones and sediment for hundreds of thousands of years. A few years ago, scientists discovered the ancient skeleton of one of Europe's most famous Ice Age carnivores deep within this cavern: Crocuta spelaea, the cave hyena.

Remains of these extinct creatures can be found within hundreds of caves all across Europe, but most of these fossils are just bits and pieces – complete or even partial skeletons are extremely rare. But the skeleton discovered in Los Aprendices is an exception. More than 100 bones represent over half of the animal's whole body, making this the most complete cave hyena ever discovered on the Iberian Peninsula, and one of the most complete in all of Europe. Recently, these prized remains were examined by a group of Spanish researchers, offering up fresh clues about this ancient carnivore.

The fossils came from a single adult, around six to ten years of age, who seems to have died alone in the cave around 143,000 years ago. Today's hyenas are mostly restricted to Africa, but in the past, several species called Europe home as well, including the cave hyena – a close relative, and possibly a subspecies, of the modern-day spotted hyena.

The Saturn-Moon Matrix - The most important occultic, scientific, historical, and metaphysical reality for humankind in our physical universe

 

David Icke - Saturn Moon Matrix

Hostile Takeover

October 29, 2020

 

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

 

Each aspect of this lecture could easily be expanded to at least an hour long examination each. Still, this is a good short summary. The implications of this is boundless. For example, the dinosaurs may well have existed in a small solar system under a star that we now know as Saturn (now a dwarf star), and only later entered this star system. This solar system may have been terraformed for us, and we were brought here. All of our ancestors mixed their blood with various early hominids of one type or another. 'Ancient Aliens' barely scratches the surface. In the same way that our Sun emits a yellow light, or that our closest neighbor binary star Alpha Centauri emits a bluish light, Saturn was said to have emitted a purplish light. The old Saturnian Priesthood of Phoenicia-Canaan used to wear purple hooded robes. The world court systems are all set up very distinctly with symbolism from this ancient Saturnian religious rite.

Invictus: Part 3 - "The Wolf Age"

As I sit here in the cold of a garage, as I have for about five weeks now, I ponder the upcoming Full Wolf Moon which will occur on Monday evening. Monday, "Moon's Day," February 17, 2022. Up to about a week ago, the coldest three-week spell that I can ever remember around here occurred. It never got above about 48 degrees, and dipped down into the 30's on a number of mornings. Although that is not unusual for many parts, for me it's more extreme since I am living in a garage with no heat, and no bed.

Today when I returned from an errand, I saw where the renovation team had emptied the upstairs refrigerator. It reminded me of one of the earliest lessons that my mother had taught me: Never waste food. Perhaps she may have thought about being cold and hungry at times as a child during the unforgiving winters of rural northern Wisconsin. Now she is gone, and I must go on, struggling to meet a lessor opponent than she had met.

In about a week, I must leave this place permanently, and I have already used up a lot of favors. There is a method to this madness, but it's easy to lose grip of it as events control me more than I control them. I don't recall of ever absolutely having to seize opportunities when they present themselves, amid many very dark down periods. For me now, this truly is "The Wolf Age." During this time, I have contracted a condition called chilblains from my fingers and toes being subjected to incessant cold. It's difficult to sleep from the painful swelling of he blood vessels. As I literally shiver now on this Saturday night as I type this, should I complain to someone, or maybe just cave in and quit?

Should I just take on a negative attitude, feel sorry for myself, use some sort of pain killer, or perhaps just become a bad person? Or... should I think of my father who died on a lost highway taking care of his family, my sister who died in battle near Beirut, or my mother who worked as a shipping/receiving clerk for sixty hours a week to keep our home going after they were gone? If they're looking down upon me right now, would they think I'm showing any courage, or at least resiliency? I think this is still a true test of wits and will. My numb fingers and toes are proof enough of at least that. The coyote howls from down in the cold dark canyon now symbolize more than just a fanciful reminder of nature, but of the harshness of life's struggle. This time it's not just talk.

Once more into the fray...
Into the last good fight I'll ever know.
Live and die on this day...
Live and die on this day...

-- 'The Grey'

I had wanted to post this days ago. However, it airs tonight. Even if you miss it, it's something to look into; Robert Sullivan's site, books, and just searching YouTube or other sites on the subject. My opinion is that it's very real. As I've written here before, according to legend, a magick wand is made from the wood of a holly tree... or "holly wood." Hollywood ranges from divulging very occultic knowledge of human history all the way to the most base infantile actions, such as actually putting highly sexualized imagery and messages into Disney films for children. In one of them, nude photographs were spliced in for only one frame so only the subconscious mind could see and process them. All-in-all, the Hollywood establishment has secret knowledge of, for example, the history of our solar system.. which I think is very different than the average person can even imagine. Even if I'm not a fan of the political actions of Freemasons or Kabbalists behind the scenes in virtually every choke point in our society, I still seek the knowledge that one can usually only get by joining with them and rising to their highest degrees. Even then it's no guarantee that they will divulge any of it. Apparently there's a spiritual code that they must live by in which they must inform "those who wish to know."

I was actually trying to call in, as they were discussing Stanley Kubrick a lot. Kubrick's final film was 'Eyes Wide Shut', which he was not able to edit; however considering the film's theme, he died exactly 666 days before January 1, 2001. '2001: A Space Odyssey' was perhaps his biggest film. All of his films were ripe with deep symbolism. Also, I wanted to bring up the 911-symbolism on the cover of Supertramp's 'Breakfast in America' album in 1979; a mind-numbing coincidence if it was a coincidence.

 

************************* 

 

 

Pondering 50 years: Early 70s music, films, etc.

It's hard to believe that music or films from the early 70s are already a half century old! 'Patton' (1970) is now over the half-century mark. 'The French Connection' (1971) is now fifty. 'Just An Old Fashioned Love Song' (1970) by Three Dog Night, over fifty. Unlike humans, who are children for their first twenty years, music and film define a certain time period in our own minds... so a full half century is very significant; 5% of the total amount of time "since the birth of Jesus" so to speak.

Much to the dismay of many 60s idealists, everything from the 60s is over fifty years ago. 'Suspicious Minds' (1969) by Elvis is well over fifty. '2001: A Space Odyssey' and the original 'Planet of the Apes are both well over fifty; and of course, the Moon landing was over fifty years ago. While the music and films will live on, the time period tends to slip away. On the other hand, films can bring back time periods! For me, looking at this personally, the death of my mother was absolutely the end of an era!

A wise man once said to me that technology (or political technocracy) can ruin us. He argued that once we had automobiles, radio, TV, telephones, and airplanes... that this was all we needed while still maintaining being somewhat down-to-earth. I think that's more-or-less true. If everything from just prior to the advent of the internet and cell phones had not occurred, someone who grew up with them wouldn't even know the difference. All I can say is that before my mother got the MRSA staff infection, after which she began a slow decline, she could really get around. We could go into Home Depot and she would just walk the isles fluidly like a much younger person. She had no qualms about speaking to young people, a trait that many her age shy away from a bit. I think that's a good clue on how to live life. Just try to make the most of every day.

'Scotland: Hunting the Green Men of Rosslyn Chapel'

A Bad Witches Blog - August 9, 2018

I've long been fascinated by the image of the Green Man - a head surrounded by leaves and often with foliage emerging from the mouth. He seems like a spirit of nature or a Pagan god of all things growing, yet he appears most often in Medieval churches.

There are more than 100 Green Men in Rosslyn Chapel, which I visited while on holiday in Scotland last week.

The Green Man's origins are a puzzle. You can find the face of the Green Man in many churches in the UK, including Salisbury Cathedral as well as Rosslyn Chapel.

Why were Christians so keen on a symbol that doesn't seem to have much to do with Christianity? Sure, Medieval churches also have plenty of carvings of ordinary people going about their daily lives. They also have gargoyles and grotesques of demonic creatures. But the Green Man is neither of these.

Rosslyn Chapel - Secrets of the Templars

110,547 views - October 1, 2016

Philip Dean

The legend of Rosslyn Chapel, located about seven miles from the Scottish capital of Edinburgh, helped to inspire a best selling novel and a block buster movie called The Da Vinci Code.  The publicity led to a rebirth of sorts and helped pay for a major restoration that's brought the chapel back to what it looked like when it was built in the mid 1400's.   Could it be the final resting place of the Holy Grail?  What was the connection to the Knights Templar?

 

 

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

 

Jacques de Molay

Again, weren't the Knights Templar Christian? Why the interest then in the pagan Green man? Just for decor? To acknowledge regional folklore? Also, why are there griffins and gargoyles on the front and tops of Cathedrals such as Notre Dame? Aren't they sort've devilish-looking? This was a Medieval culture which had no tolerance for anything pagan or any idols, and burned heretics at the stake. Seems so strange if you think about it.

What history has known as the Scottish Sinclair family was actually the powerful Saint-Clair Templar family from France who escaped to Scotland during the persecution of the Knights Templar by King Philip of France and the Catholic Church. The head of the Templars, Jacques de Molay was burned at the stake, and apparently as he was burning he cursed them with revenge, and that may have been the origin of the rift between the Catholic Church and the Knights Templars (later known as the Freemasons).

Back then, as it is now, the Church's business was banking. After the Templars returned from the near east, legend has it that they uncovered ancient knowledge which helped them set up their own banking empire. First they got into shipping, and became incredibly wealthy almost overnight. The King was up to his eyeballs in debt to them, and the Church wanted to get rid of their main banking rival. They got to them before they became too powerful, as they were expanding to other countries. Scottish Rite Freemasonry is the direct heir to the Knights Templars.

De Moley was burned on a "Friday the 13," which is why this day is considered bad luck to many. Since the number 13 was a sacred number to the Templars, I think that King Philip and the Catholic Church had a definite point to make. Basically it was a gangland thing between two powerful factions. Even though the confessions were forced due to torture, and of course what could be a worse way to go than being burned. Still, I know other stunningly evil things that the other side has done as well that I would rather not go into now.

Isn't it so strange that with all the strife that there is in this country, these people of staggering power have absolutely nothing to say about it?

 

De Molay Youth organization

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton was a De Molay Youth. A Freemason once insisted to me that Clinton was not a Freemason, and since there doesn't seem to be any absolute proof that he was, there was nothing further to say. 80% of Masons do not go beyond the first three degrees.

Just An Old Fashioned Love Song - Three Dog Night (lyrics) HD

Eric Faw

"An Old Fashioned Love Song" is a 1971 song written by Paul Williams and performed by the American pop-rock band Three Dog Night. Chuck Negron performed the lead vocal on this track. Taken as the lead single from their 1971 album, Harmony, the song peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1971, becoming the band's seventh top-ten hit. It was Three Dog Night's first record to top the U.S. easy listening chart. It reached number two in Canada. Its lyrics suggest the straightforward and melodic nature of the tune: Just an old fashioned love song / Comin' down in three part harmony / Just an old fashioned love song / One I'm sure they wrote for you and me. (Wikipedia)

Just an old fashioned love song
Playing on the radio
And wrapped around the music is the sound
Of someone promising they'll never go

You'll swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on
No need in bringing 'em back
'Cause they've never really gone

'Just An Old Fashioned Love Song'

Just an old fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old fashioned love song
Coming down in three part harmony

To weave our dreams upon and listen
To each evening when the lights are low
To underscore our love affair with tenderness
And feeling that we've come to know

You'll swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on
No need in bringing 'em back
'Cause they've never really gone

Just an old fashioned love song
Coming down in three part harmony
Just an old fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me

Just an old fashioned love song
Coming down in three part harmony
Just an old fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me

To weave our dreams upon and listen to a song
Just an old song coming down
Just an old song
What I'm sure they wrote for you and me

Just an old fashioned love song
Coming down in three part harmony
Just an old fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me

Just an old fashioned love song
Coming down in three part harmony
Just an old fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me

Just an old fashioned love song
Coming down in three part harmony
Just an old fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me

July is normally the month when the new antlers of buck deer push out of their foreheads in coatings of velvety fur.

It's been a very difficult 17 days since losing my mother. I just felt compelled to post this late, since this Supermoon will occur in just a couple of hours as far as seeing it in the night sky. This will be the last Supermoon of this year. It's also known a a Full Mead Moon, an equally energetic name with meaning. Also a Full Rose Moon and a Full Hot Moon.

'When Is The Next Full Moon?' 

[FarmersAlmanac.com]

This name was universal to every Algonquin tribe. However, in Europe they called it the Rose Moon. Also because the relatively short season for harvesting strawberries comes each year during the month of June . . . so the full Moon that occurs during that month was christened for the strawberry!

Police called to summer solstice celebrations at Stonehenge due to Covid rules

English Heritage pulled a live feed of the summer solstice sunrise at Stonehenge after people disregarded advice not to travel to the site.

The organisation said safety reasons were behind the lack of an available live feed of the neolithic Wiltshire monument at sunrise at 4.52am.

Video from the scene showed around a hundred people inside the stone circle and a banner reading “Standing for Stonehenge”.

Thousands of people tuned in to English Heritage’s Facebook and YouTube pages for the solstice and saw pre-recorded footage of the stones.

'Video: Revelers Defy Stonehenge Shutdown, Storm Site for Solstice

Tim Binnall - CoastToCoastAM.com - June 22, 2021

Dozens of individuals wishing to celebrate the summer solstice at Stonehenge stormed the ancient monument in defiance of the site's caretakers, who had closed the iconic location to visitors to help thwart the spread of the coronavirus. For the second year in a row, the annual June celebration had been cancelled by World Heritage, the organization that oversees the historic location, because of concerns regarding the pandemic. However, around 100 to 200 people apparently would not be denied as, shortly before 5 AM on Monday morning, revelers reportedly began arriving at the outskirts of the famed standing stones on the Salisbury Plain in England.

A small metal fence surrounding the site was no match for the throngs of people, who quickly scrambled over the barrier to find a place within the monolith for the forthcoming sunrise. The subsequent gathering had something of a circus-like atmosphere as costume-clad individuals played drums and a 'Standing with Stonehenge' banner was unfurled. The chaotic scene proved to be too much for World Heritage as they actually wound up cutting their livestream of the solstice just minutes before it occurred. Disappointed viewers around the world who had hoped to see the sunrise at Stonehenge were, instead, treated to a pre-recorded video of the monument and, by the time the feed resumed, the big moment had sadly passed.

As for the people who stormed Stonehenge, they were met by cadre of police officers who did their best to disperse the group and, presumably, protect the monument from any ne'er-do-wells. Fortunately such miscreants seemed to be few and far between as, to their credit, the unauthorized visitors to the site were largely peaceful individuals simply celebrating the solstice and so officers mostly just milled around the area keeping an eye on things. That said, cops did arrest one particularly jubilant woman for public intoxication, which is a rather remarkable feat on her part considering that the incident unfolded at five o'clock in the morning.

Summer Solstice 2021 - Elysium & Blood Red Supermoon!

 

Elysium

Elysium or the Elysian Fields is a conception of the afterlife that developed over time and was maintained by some Greek religious and philosophical sects and cults. Initially separate from the realm of Hades, admission was reserved for mortals related to the gods and other heroes. Later, it expanded to include those chosen by the gods, the righteous, and the heroic, where they would remain after death, to live a blessed and happy life, and indulging in whatever employment they had enjoyed in life.

The Elysian Fields were, according to Homer, located on the western edge of the Earth by the stream of Okeanos. In the time of the Greek poet Hesiod, Elysium would also be known as the "Fortunate Isles", or the "Isles (or Islands) of the Blessed", located in the western ocean at the end of the earth. The Isles of the Blessed would be reduced to a single island by the Theban poet Pindar, describing it as having shady parks, with residents indulging in athletic and musical pastimes.

The ruler of Elysium varies from author to author: Pindar and Hesiod name Cronus as the ruler,[9] while the poet Homer in the Odyssey describes fair-haired Rhadamanthus dwelling there. "The Isle of the Blessed" is also featured in the 2nd Century comedic novel "True Story" by Lucian of Samosata.

 

Classical literature

In Homer's Odyssey, Elysium is described as a paradise:

"...to the Elysian plain...where life is easiest for men. No snow is there, nor heavy storm, nor ever rain, but ever does Ocean send up blasts of the shrill-blowing West Wind that they may give cooling to men."
-- Homer, Odyssey (4.560–565)

 

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

 

"Fratres! (fraternal brothers) Three weeks from now I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line. Stay with me. If you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled; for you are in Elysium, and you're already dead!"

-- Maximus Decimus Meridius, 'Gladiator'

'Gladiator' & 'The Last Samurai'

Recently on the Paramount channel I believe, on a few evenings there was a double-feature of these two films. One of the things that occurred to me about 'Gladiator'--a film with so many profound quotes--was the demoting of Maximus from a general who issued epic quotes such as "Strength and Honor" and "Brothers, what we do in life, echoes in eternity" in support of what he believed in: The Roman Empire.... to a slave forced to fight and risk death or maiming for the mere entertainment of others; Maximus after throwing the sword at the elites in the luxury box: "Are you not entertained!?"

Proximo's somewhat less-than-awe-inspiring quote to rally his gladiators during training put an exclamation point on that demotion: "Ultimately, we're all dead men. Sadly, we cannot choose how but, what we can decide is how we meet that end, in order that we are remembered, as men." Maximus' later quote in Rome's Colosseum was almost like a belated response to Proximo. Maximus: "Marcus Aurelius had a dream that was Rome, Proximo. This is not it! This is not it!" Just like the Samurai, Maximus was not afraid of death nearly as much as dishonor. The heroic ethic is long gone from this world, replaced by capitalism, communism, materialism, attention seeking, pleasure seeking, greed, self-worship, self-interest, rootless universalism, and baseless overt sex and violence.

Summer Solstice 2021

Most often the 21st of June is considered the first day of summer. The celebration occurs between June 19th to the 23rd.

 

'Sing the Song of the Apple Tree'

 

Come lay beneath my leafy boughs

At this verdant time

When nature is so lush and bright

Flourishing in her prime

The land is warming rapidly

And summer is on its way

There is a magic in the air

The shimmering touch of fay!

Planets Visible

Morning: Jupiter & Saturn

Evening: Venus from mid-month & Mars

The time to celebrate the Life Force, fertility and creative energy in all its manifestations. It is the time of the maximum expansionist energy of the waxing years before the Sun reaches fullness at the Summer Solstice. Celebrate natural growth and fertility by the wearing of the green, reverencing well and springs, staying up all night to jump the fires and to welcome the dawn.

Easter - April 4th

'What Are the Easter Bunny's Origins? Here's the Fascinating History of the Easter Bunny'

Ever wonder what a cute woodland creature has to do with Easter?

By Hannah Jeon - GoodHousekeeping.com - March 4, 2020

Every year on Easter, legend has it that a long-eared, cotton-tailed creature comes to deliver festive baskets full of treats, toys, and delicious candy to children — and even lays colorful eggs for them to find! Among other Easter traditions like hot cross buns and egg hunts, the Easter Bunny has long been a well-known and popular symbol associated with the religious holiday — but have you ever wondered about the Easter Bunny's origins, and how exactly the cute, fluffy woodland creature became such a prevalent symbol of Easter?

Surprisingly, there's a lot of history behind the mythical story of an egg-bearing rabbit on Easter Sunday (and it's not just because he's cute!). The Easter Bunny actually has a long and deeply rooted history in the Christian holiday — and even in pagan traditions. Here's what to know about the fascinating origins of the Easter Bunny before you welcome the holiday with chocolate rabbits and plenty of bunny-shaped treats — including where the character comes from, why he's associated with Easter eggs, and how he became such a beloved symbol of the holiday over the years.

The Blue Moon

 [followup to 'The Green Moon' of part 1]

On the previous piece, I mentioned the golden moonlight that one can see when the night conditions are right. I also mentioned the illusion of "green moonlight" under the same conditions. While adding that there was an almost theoretical "blue moonlight" which possibly can be perceived. Just after publishing that, on Saturday, I went on a twilight/night hike with perfect conditions: almost full moon, particularly bright moonlight, moon positioned above at a slight angle, no wind or breeze, and a clear sky.

Upon reaching one point with a fabulous night view of the San Francisco Bay, I noticed that I could make out that the water was of a dark blue color under the moonlight in certain spots; not the blue water when illuminated by the sunlight. That got me thinking about what I had written, that there was at least the illusion of blue moonlight. Just by the night sky being of a dark blue hue also leads to an additional concept of blue light.

The little brush rabbits are very active at night, and can be see along the trail. Although rabbits are common prey animals, and I've observed so many of them over the years, I had never seen any evidence of any of them perishing. The very next day, yesterday, I came across a  body; probably a victim of coyotes. Ever since the coyote population increased in recent years, there has been an absence of wildcats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes in the area. They were once at least easy to spot along the trails.

The beautiful Traci Lords

Still known more for what she did as an underage youth rather than for 98 mainstream and b-film characters as an actress, and other bodies of work as a producer, director, composer, writer, voice characters, and makeup artist in the industry; as well as a recording artist, model, activist, and business woman. Even the IMDb at least allows her "Traci Lords is a study of a determined and complex woman with a very controversial background."

Classic reality TV

Two programs, which I guess what could now be called classic reality television, are back again with all new episodes on A&E. 'Intervention' premiered on March 15, and 'Storage Wars' will premiere on April 20. It never ceases to amaze me how obstinate those with narcotic abuse problems are on this program, but if they didn't react in that manner nobody would watch. 'Storage Wars' has quite a cast of characters. I was thinking that all of the other storage auctions out there have probably been so flooded with people since this program started ten years ago.
