'100 Years Ago in Photos: A Look Back at 1920'
Original caption, from May 29, 1920: "Bare legs and scanty one piece bathing suits were very much in evidence at the opening of Washington's municipal bathing beach today. Officials have agreed to disregard as precedents the prohibitory orders issued at Coney Island and Atlantic City."

'Occult Hollywood Unveiled' (Coast to Coast AM; 7-16-21; Robert Sullivan)
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

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 |
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).
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.
33rd degree Freemasonry
Washington D.C.
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.
A well known Masonic symbol. All I know for certain is that George Washington himself penned letters expressing his concern about the new Illuminated Freemasonry that had taken root in Switzerland and was spreading throughout Europe.

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
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

The evening of Friday, July 23rd (or the early morning of Saturday July 24th)
July is normally the month when the new antlers of buck deer push out of their foreheads in coatings of velvety fur. It was also often called the Full Thunder Moon, for the reason that thunderstorms are most frequent during this time. Another name for this month’s Moon was the Full Hay Moon.
