Full Pink Moon (April 29) and Tana's Day (May Eve/May 1) 2018




Merrily we go around the Maypole

BournvilleVC

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

Various other maypole dances performed by the group

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

If Easter doesn't finally ring in spring, then Beltane is the sealer; with the rains finally at season's end, the mark of what will be six months of generally good weather. "May Eve" is also a time for celebration for many as well. Beltane/May Day is known in Stregheria as "Tana's Day." The coming Full Pink Moon will occur on the evening of April 29, only one day prior to Beltane; therefore we will have something of a three-day festival. A Full Pink Moon on the 29th, May Eve on the 30th, and Beltane on May 1st. If you check, there likely will be a Beltane spring ritual, with maypole dances and chanting; usually by younger female dancers. It's no longer a fertility rite, now merely a spring festival.


Tana’s Day — La Giornata di Tana — May Eve/May 1

Celebration for the full return of the Goddess from the Realm of Shadows. She has returned to her hidden children, bringing with her the Mysteries she has learned. We also celebrate God and Goddess, and their delight in each other. They court, and the world is made merry. Goddess becomes the dominant force, and the Goddess months begin.

'What is Alpha Centauri hiding? Searches for Earth-like planets ramp up around our nearest stellar neighbor'

David Aragorn - EarthMysteryNews.com - April 11, 2018

Alpha Centauri, a three-star system just 4 light-years away that is the sun's nearest neighbor, ought to be a great place to look for Earth-like planets. But last week, at a meeting of the European Astronomical Society (EAS) here, astronomers lamented the way the system has thwarted discovery efforts so far—and announced new efforts to probe it.

“It’s very likely that there are planets,” says Pierre Kervella of the Paris Observatory in Meudon, France, but the nature and positions of the stars complicate the search. “It’s a little frustrating for planet searchers.”

The system’s two sunlike stars, Alpha Centauri A and B, orbit each other closely while Proxima Centauri, a tempestuous red dwarf, hangs onto the system tenuously in a much more distant orbit. In 2016, astronomers discovered an Earth-mass planet around Proxima Centauri, but the planet, blasted by radiation and fierce stellar winds, seems unlikely to be habitable. Astrobiologists think the other two stars are more likely to host temperate, Earth-like planets.

Shades of gray : America's wolf dilemma

The Ecologist

The future of the gray wolf is uncertain. The polarized debate over killing wolves and the search for a middle ground is the subject of this new film by the Ecologist Film Unit, made in association with Link TV.

In the film, we travel to Montana and Wyoming to gauge the views of ranchers, hunters, scientists, taxidermists, conservationists and a former Governor of Montana. We explore the complex middle ground of hard truths and innovative solutions in the polarised battle over the place of wolves in the American West.

The full 26 minute investigation is now available online at www.linktv.org/earthfocus

Antarctica the Real Story is Stranger than Fiction

Spiritual Warfare

Way down in New Swabia, Antarctica, two panicked survivors of a British reconnaissance team scream these words into a radio message: “The Polar Men have found us!” And then the radio goes dead. This was at t almost the exact same moment when Europe is celebrating V-E day in May 1945.

Still, more and more revelations were forthcoming. The summer before, we were told, the original scientists and commandos had found an “ancient tunnel”. Under orders, the force went through the tunnel but only two returned before the Antarctic winter set in. During the winter months, the two survivors made absurd claims over the radio about “Polar Men, ancient tunnels and Nazis.”

Mark 8:38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. [KJV]

According to Pastor John MacArthur, unlike the above definition, all Christians (and everybody) should point-blank be ashamed.

Night of the Living Dead (HD, FULL MOVIE, 1968)

Brandon Tobatto

1968 classic in FULL HD!

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

'Night of the Living Dead' turns 50

There's some sort've hi-tech restoration of the film now available for the film's 50th anniversary (see below). This film was very popular way back on the Bay Area's local 'Creature Features' weekend late-night horror showcase. I recall, although I don't remember where, of viewing an uncut/expanded edition with many deleted scenes. It was very interesting, a very different twist to the entire film. There was an eccentric overzealous preacher who looked a lot like Anton LeVey featured.There are a lot of interesting reunions and interviews about the film on YouTube. There is one curious interview with Duane Jones, who played the main protagonist "Ben." He turned to teaching acting and performing in the theater after NLD. An eloquent speaker and connoisseur of the arts, he was hardly the type to star in a horror film... much less one as gruesome as this... and one of the most famous horror classic of all. He passed away 30 years ago.

George Romero, the father of the zombie genre, passed away last year at a time where this genre is more popular than ever. Somehow he lost rights to NLD and it became "public domain," so he benefited little financially from it. One aspect of NLD which struck me was that it was so "Pennsylvania." Supernatural aside, the scenery and characters fit well in the countryside of western Pennsylvania. Up to that time, a really scary movie would've been like 'Psycho'; there had never been a film like this before! This was no-holds bared. The film industry probably wanted to give it an X rating. Perhaps only 'The Exorcist', which came out five years later, was as shocking for films in-and-around that time period.

Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds - Fallin' In Love

Jun Cristobal

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 scored the group's biggest hit, 1975's "Fallin' in Love."

'3 From Hell'

3 From Hell is an upcoming American horror film written and directed by Rob Zombie. It is a follow-up to his 2003 House of 1000 Corpses and the 2005 sequel The Devil's Rejects. The plot of the film is currently unknown, but it is confirmed that it will be centered around the three main antagonists of the previous films. It will star Sheri Moon Zombie, Sid Haig, and Bill Moseley.

Production

Filming began on March 13, 2018 and wrapped in early April.

'As Filming Ends, Bill Moseley Raves That ‘3 from Hell’ is a Rob Zombie Masterpiece'

John Squires - Bloody-Disgusting.com - April 12, 2018

If you’re asking me, The Devil’s Rejects remains Rob Zombie’s masterpiece, which is why I’m personally very excited that he’s returning to that world for third “Firefly Franchise” installment, 3 from Hell. Bill Moseley, Sid Haig and Sheri Moon are (somehow) all back for the new film, which appears to have just wrapped filming this week.

Fitting, giving House of 1000 Corpses just celebrated its 15th birthday!

In a post over on Facebook, Moseley raved about Zombie’s latest…

“Exhausted but happy, Rob Zombie masterpiece, 3 from Hell, in the proverbial can (nowadays I guess it’s in the hard drive). Great time last night, got all the shots we needed before we picture wrapped on the Valuzat movie ranch in dear old Santa Clarita, and now the trucks are packed and rolling, the actors all changed out of their wardrobe & makeup and off to new adventures, the sun’s up and I’m heading down the highway, my spirit animals, the Doobie Brothers, filling my head and heart with enough rhythm and cheer to get me back home to Los Angeles. It’ll probably hit me in a day or two what we did, the enormity, the intensity, but meanwhile, I’m going to eat a lot, sleep a lot, brush em like crazy (Beach Boys lyric).

One thing I can say, when this movie comes out, your guys’s mindsies are gonna be big time blown! Thanks for your thoughts & prayers (haha), Otis D.”

I take you on a journey to Fast Times Filming locations as I explain the history behind Cameron Crowes book Fast Times at Ridgemont High that includes a bit about Neal Preston on set of the shooting of We Bought A Zoo. Daily VLOG of another beautiful California day. The story also involves Hailee Steinfeld, Scarlett Johansson and Crystal the Capuchin Monkey. See what movies were shot at Van Nuys High School and Sherman Oaks Galleria.

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

For a film 36 years old, it's amazing how it possesses so many contemporary elements. For one thing, the early 80s ushered in a more modern cinematography which has remained comparatively similar. Many elements and behaviors of teenage life are comparatively similar. Even "the mall" could pass for today. The Fast Times book probably should be republished. It's interesting that Cameron Crowe's other personal non-fiction film 'Almost Famous' had a more-or-less similar general theme. It's fascinating when people are able to visit the filming location of a favorite film(s), Personally, I've never done it; but I would imagine that it would be like a paraspiritual experience, regardless if others would not see it that way.

Orleans - Dance With Me

Jun Cristobal

"Dance with Me" is the title of a 1975 hit single by American soft rock band Orleans.

The song was written by group member John Hall and journalist-turned-lyricist Johanna Hall (then a married couple). According to Johanna Hall, John Hall wrote the melody first, and when on first hearing it Johanna suggested "Dance with Me" as the title John rejected the idea as too simple. The couple were out driving one day when Johanna, struck by inspiration, blurted out the lyrics: "Pick the beat up and kick your feet up", and John was won over to the idea of her writing the song's lyric for the title "Dance With Me."

Featuring a melodica solo by Larry Hoppen, "Dance With Me" was introduced on the album Let There Be Music and was issued as that album's second single July 19 1975 to become Orleans' first Top 40 single, reaching a Billboard Hot 100 peak of #6 that October.

The Great Alter of Zeus

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

Pergamon Altar

The Pergamon Altar is a monumental construction built during the reign of king Eumenes II in the first half of the 2nd century BC on one of the terraces of the acropolis of the ancient Greek city of Pergamon in Asia Minor.

******

Up until the second half of the 20th century it had been assumed by some scholars that the altar was endowed in 184 BC by Eumenes II after a victory over the Celtic Tolistoagian tribe and their leader Ortiagon. In the meantime, later datings relating the altar to archaeological findings and historical events are under discussion. It is not imperative to connect the altar endowment with specific military events such as the Roman victories over Antiochos III in 184 BC in alliance with Eumenes II, or Eumenes II's own victory over the Galatians in 166 BC.

Investigation of the altar's construction and friezes has led to the conclusion that it was not conceived as a monument to a particular victory. The design of Pergamene victory monuments is known from the literature and monument relics. The most famous are Roman copies of bronze statues of the "Great Gaul," representations of defeated Celts after the victory of Attalos I over the Tolistoagians, or reliefs showing booty weapons from the halls of the Pergamene Athena sanctuary, which was dedicated by Eumenes II to the goddess who brought victory after the triumph over the Seleucids and their allies in 184 BC.

'The Ainu, the hidden people of Japan, try to keep their traditions alive'

Dean Irvine - CNN.com - February 9, 2015

"Are you scared when you have to go back to the mountain at night?"

It's a not a question guides at a museum would usually be asked, but it's happened to those at the outdoor Ainu Museum and cultural village in Hokkaido, the northernmost and second-largest island of Japan.

The museum is dedicated to the culture of the Ainu people, an ethnic group that not many -- even in Japan itself -- know much about.

For weary guides at the museum, who live close to the museum in Shiraoi, an hour's drive from the city of Sapporo (but not in primitive huts on the hillside), being able to tell visitors about their unique heritage and language is worth the occasional muddleheaded question.




Brutal hunting methods

The Ainu people are the indigenous inhabitants of Hokkaido. They're also present on Sakhalin, the island off the east coast of Russia, as well as northern Honshu, Japan's biggest island.

Meeting a modern day Ainu isn't common.

Estimates put the population of Ainu at around 24,000, and finding any who can speak the critically endangered language fluently is harder still: the Endangered Language Project puts the number of native speakers at just 10.

Located outside the small town of Shiraoi (itself an Ainu word meaning "place with many horseflies"), the museum is a re-creation of an Ainu village on the shores of Lake Poroto.

Visitors are immediately greeted by a 30-foot wooden statue of a bearded Ainu chief. From this stoic totem they can stroll among a series of thatched houses and botanical gardens, getting a glimpse of Ainu traditions stretching back about 1,000 years.

The Bonnie Blue flag is such a great song, either in instrumental or with vocals, that I couldn't really sift through them all on YouTube and choose the best ones. Basically it's a song best sung by a chorus of men, but this instrumental was so good and showed the flag without any visual distraction.

Below is a powerful scene from the 1999 tv-movie 'The Hunley', a pretty good film about the submarine developed by the Confederacy during the Civil War... and which was actually raised from the ocean sometime after the film was produced, with the naval seamen receiving military burials. What was interesting about the scene was that one of the major Carolina coastal cities, I can't remember which one (Charleston?), was being very effectively bombed by Union battle ships. I don't think many people today think of air bombings anytime during in the 19th century.

The Hunley is one of my favorite movies. Scientists now believe they know how the crew died. It wasn't drowning, It was traumatic concussion that ruptured their lungs and caused massive brain hemorrhage from the concussion of the torpedo. They achieved their goal- they took out an enemy ship successfully and  changed naval warfare forever.

'Delta Dawn' - A great song; a hymn of subjective symbolism and metaphoric meaning




Delta Dawn

Tanya Tucker - Topic


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


The main chorus of Delta Dawn is much like any old hymn:

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

Whereas 'Amazing Grace' has a very clear Christian meaning; 'Delta Dawn' is much more open to interpretation. The rich and open-ended symbolism leave the door wide open for metaphor. Could there be an aspect or experience of your own life within it? Someone else you know? A phantom-type metaphor for something else... perhaps a plurality? One thing is for certain, it's a very American song; and would easily fit pretty much anywhere or any experience within America. Of course, being a great song--with its subtle ebbs and flows--helps. I prefer the original Tanya Tucker version over the Helen Reddy one which became a #1 hit the following year.

The flower/rose symbol could represent many things... anything you wish. From a Neopagan perspective, it could represent a red rose, sub rosa, a black rose, a vehme star rose, or the Rosa Camuna... and many other symbols and concepts such as Rosicrucianism. It could simply be a metaphor for a concept or anything lost or faded in time... such as "a love." In my mind, something faded isn't an absolute or permanent condition. A portrayal of something faded, missing, lost, or dead could be the start of a process of revival I would think. Sometimes a construct or dynamic---which had failed in its initial effort---could hold much more lasting power than if it had had quick, easy, and short-term success when it had it's period of opportunity. Think about that.

The observance or memory of a past failed construct, even if it wasn't specifically your thing, could still hold great inspiration if applicable to a certain individual or collective in some manner. In other words, losing is part of the game of life... or history; or as the old saying goes "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger." Getting back to the song, even just the word "dawn," could represent a new beginning.... or the concept of an "ending and beginning"... which seems to conflate with the ancient three-fold European pagan concept of the cycle of life, "birth..... life.... death and to a new arising."





As to whether or not the character of Delta Dawn herself would just remain in a state of wallowing in the past or go onto something greater, while using her defeat as an inspiration, we don't know. It could be interpreted that she is in "that place"... the fork in the road. A major defeat in life can cause a person to destroy themselves; although I'm really not talking about a simple idea of learning a lesson, but something more deeply spiritual... or perhaps even ritualistic. The sting of defeat can linger for a long time because it's so personal to the individual or collective. It takes some time and effort to see it as an inspiration.

Unless the happening was just totally devastating, or the subject has not physically gotten away from the particulars yet, there's no reason that it couldn't be an inspiration or at least a type of acceptance or acknowledgment that fosters a certain inner strength. The subject doesn't necessarily have to accept defeat; but they could acknowledge the event as part of their story; even to the point of creating a legend of sorts from it, and even still to the point of turning it into a type of ritual.... repackaging it, owning it.

'Delta Dawn' is rich with symbolism and imagery, which could be stand-ins for anything you want them to be. "Brownsville" could be anywhere; the "mansion in the sky" could be anywhere, or anything. Changing the words would be missing the point I think; however in thought-form certain aspects could be changed. "Prettiest" seems to suggest a strong positive aspect, while "crazy" seems to suggest a strong negative trait. It could all be relative. The "suitcase" could be a metaphor for something. The beauty of metaphor is that you determine what it all means. "Delta Dawn" could be a metaphor for a male, with a woman standing-in as a spiritual representation, or a symbol for a certain collective. The symbol of the fading rose gets my attention more than anything else.

There are only three sets of lines--three short poems--in this song. The song ends with the initial main chorus repeated four times. The first one quicker, a bit louder, and with the full background. The second with a faded background, sung a little slower and clearer, but emanating with an air of power. Then it repeats the first version twice more. This song, to me, could be thought of in the same way as with the song 'Rhiannon' being adopted by some Neopagans after the way it was featured in the tv-series 'American Horror Story: Coven' in 2014. Of course, one doesn't need to wait for a song to be featured in some capacity in order to apply some deeper personal meaning into it. Just the fact that these songs are great works of musical art, really makes the metaphors work within the soul.

'Delta Dawn' lyrics

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby"
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
'Cause she walks dowtown with a suitcase in her hand
Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
And promised her he'd take her for his bride

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?





Song Meaning

The title character of "Delta Dawn" is a faded southern belle from Brownsville, Tennessee who at forty-one is obsessed to unreason by the long ago memory of an errant suitor. The song's lyrics describe how the woman regularly "walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand/ Looking for a mysterious dark haired man" who she says is "meeting her…today/ To take [her] to his mansion in the sky".

The song is said to have been inspired by a woman named Dawn Parsworth who waited aimlessly for days for a man who had stood her up after promising to marry her.[citation needed] She would walk up to the bus-stop every day slowly becoming more and more mentally-ill. She was later admitted to a Brownsville asylum where she died in a ward cell.


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


Delta Dawn

"Delta Dawn" is a song written by former child rockabilly star Larry Collins and songwriter Alex Harvey, best known as a 1972 top ten country hit for Tanya Tucker and a number one hit for Helen Reddy in 1973.

The co-writer more often goes by the name Alexander Harvey today, not to be confused with Glaswegian rocker Alex Harvey.

Incredible Russell Means lecture




Russell Means Americans Are The New Indian

The Alex Jones Channel

American Indian Russell Means gives an eye-opening 90 minute interview in which he explains how Native Americans and Americans in general are all imprisoned within one huge reservation. "The history of the American and the history of the Indian have now come full circle and are intertwined in the dictatorial policies of those that control the monetary system of America," remarks Means. This is a special re-broadcast of an earlier interview in remembrance of Russell Means, who passed away Monday Morning at his home in Porcupine, South Dakota. We will greatly miss this true american icon who showed us the way.

I listened to this lecture on my iPod, three weeks ago now, during a three hour drive amid a fascinating back-and-forth weather battle between sun and rain. I had heard Russell Means speak before, mostly on different issues than this. This lecture started out largely on his usual points of interest; however I was amazed on how it then graduated onto the bigger political picture. It's a fascinating lecture, showing the deep depths of his thought. At the tail end of it I may have disagreed a bit on several small points; but it was one of the best, most spiritually-minded, most logical, and truthful lectures that I've ever listened to.

Leak Project


Epic interview with Richard Hoagland discussing the many anomalies and structures found within our own Solar System, Millions of years old.  Mr Hogland Explains how he feels the Story line of Star Wars is more Non Fiction than Fiction.  With over a Dozen high resolution photographs from JPL, and NASA, Richard breaks down the possibility of Iapetus and Phobos being Spaceships designed to look like a planetoid or moon.  Iapetus looks just like the Death Star in Star Wars and you will see the comparisons in this podcast.  Mr Hoagland also explains how these ancient ships are from a Type II Civilization that colonized our Solar System Millions of years ago.  Now there is evidence of Pluto having been colonized as well!  Check out Richards work at www.enterprisemission.com and www.othersideofmidnight.com
