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.

Montague Summers

Augustus Montague Summers (10 April 1880 – 10 August 1948) was an English author and clergyman. He is known primarily for his scholarly work on the English drama of the 17th century, as well as for his idiosyncratic studies on witches, vampires, and werewolves, in all of which he professed to believe. He was responsible for the first English translation, published in 1928, of the notorious 15th-century witch hunter's manual, the Malleus Maleficarum.

The occult

Summers' career as an ostensibly Catholic clergyman was highly unusual. He wrote works of hagiography on Saint Catherine of Siena and Saint Anthony Maria Zaccaria, but his primary religious interest was in the subject of the occult. While Aleister Crowley, with whom he was acquainted, adopted the persona of a modern-day witch, Summers played the part of the learned Catholic witch-hunter. In the introduction to his book on The History of Witchcraft and Demonology (1926) he writes:

In the following pages I have endeavoured to show the witch as she really was – an evil liver: a social pest and parasite: the devotee of a loathly and obscene creed: an adept at poisoning, blackmail, and other creeping crimes: a member of a powerful secret organisation inimical to Church and State: a blasphemer in word and deed, swaying the villagers by terror and superstition: a charlatan and a quack sometimes: a bawd: an abortionist: the dark counsellor of lewd court ladies and adulterous gallants: a minister to vice and inconceivable corruption, battening upon the filth and foulest passions of the age.

In 1928, he published the first English translation of Heinrich Kramer's and James Sprenger's Malleus Maleficarum ("The Hammer of Witches"), a 15th-century Latin text on the hunting of witches. In his introduction, Summers insists that the reality of witchcraft is an essential part of Catholic doctrine, and declares the Malleus to be an admirable and correct account of witchcraft and of the methods necessary to combat it. This should be contrasted with the vastly more sceptical and critical attitude of mainstream Catholic scholars, reflected for instance in the Rev. Herbert Thurston's article on "Witchcraft" for the Catholic Encyclopaedia of 1912, which labels the publication of the Malleus a "disastrous episode."

Montague Summers then turned to vampires, producing The Vampire: His Kith and Kin (1928) and The Vampire in Europe (1929), and later to werewolves with The Werewolf (1933). Summers' work on the occult is notorious for his unusual and old-fashioned writing style, his display of erudition, and his purported belief in the reality of the subjects he treats.

I added:

With his head shaved and the facial hair, it gave him that Anton LeVey look... like "a devil"... then he's down in the dark crawlspace .. like "hell".... then "the evil laugh".... overt/covert symbolism.. ... also money "the root of all evil"

And, obviously it's like the Devil's evil laugh. Also, the end of the scene with him "framed" by the wooden frame floor opening; that reminded me so much of the old 'Night Gallery' series of the 70s which used to be in syndication every evening late on the old analog UHF channel 44 in the Bay Area.

Neo-Western genre

Recently I watched 'El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie', which was initially on Netflix before airing on AMC. It featured the yet untold storyline about Jesse Pinkman's fate at the end of the 'Breaking Bad' series. One interesting aspect of 'Breaking Bad" and now 'Better Call Saul' is that they are under what is something of a new genre of Western: "Neo Western."

'Better Call Saul' is in its fifth season now, and while I appreciated the laid-back New Mexico backdrop to its tense storyline, I still have found it a little slow in developing. Some absolutely love it, while others wanted the "Saul Goodman" from 'Breaking Bad' immediately. Well, he's finally arrived!

Marie Laveau's Tomb

Apparently it was refurbished a few years ago. Prior to that, or possibly even now, it was a target for vandals; mostly of the spray paint variety. Really?.... or as they say.. Really bro?? Do you really want to anger the spirit of Marie Laveau? If I had to vandalize a tomb, she would pretty much be at the very very bottom of the list!

'Defense Bill Passes, Giving Sacred Native American Sites To Mining Company'

Michael McAuliff - Huffington Post  - December 12, 2014

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Senate passed a measure authorizing the nation’s defense programs Friday, and along with it managed to give lands sacred to Native Americans to a foreign company that owns a uranium mine with Iran.

The $585 billion National Defense Authorization Act of 2015 is one of the must-pass pieces of legislation that Congress moves every year. But like they did in attaching extraneous riders to the must-pass government funding bill, lawmakers used the defense bill as a vehicle to pass a massive public lands package.

The bill sailed through on a vote of 89 to 11.

Many of the land measures were popular. But one, the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act, had twice failed to win support in the House of Representatives, blocked both by conservationists and conservatives.

The deal gives a subsidiary of the Australian-English mining firm Rio Tinto 2,400 acres of the Tonto National Forest in exchange for several other parcels so it can mine a massive copper deposit.

This issue is far more of an infringement than the laying of a pipe. The politic of the day, administered by the CFR media membership, is simple: If a person or entity is a Globalist and tied to Globalist political unions, then this type of story is downplayed to an extreme degree; if not, then it becomes a major issue. All one would have to do is notice that former President Obama, who was the one who finally signed NDAA into law, was obviously downplayed in this Huffington Post article... and naturally also by the mainstream media. In any case, this is a very real and ongoing issue.

Additionally, Obama's executive orders establishing "national monuments" on Navajo lands was not a "victory for the Navajos" as the mainstream press reported. Now they can't even use their own holy sites anymore! In effect, the government has stolen those holy sites--millions of acres!--away from the tribe. The term "Fascism" usually refers to the collusion between corporations and the state, and that's really what this is all about.... especially when the mainstream media is controlled by a mere six corporations.... all tied to the Council on Foreign Relations, a Globalist think tank.

There are so many dirty tricks that can be played, such as big corporate interests first establishing a controlled opposition environmental group which will serve as the strawman. In this manner, arguments of lessor importance can be used as a vanguard; while the stronger arguments can be downplayed. If they stand to make billions, then spending a few million on a legal/unethical project like this would be nothing to them. All that would be required is financing and a few key administrators to overrule the honest people involved in the decision making process.

What ever happened to the Anti-Globalization Movement anyway? How about the Peace Movement? They were eliminated by controlled opposition projects. Now we have people supposedly from the left who are outraged because the Wall Street War Machine didn't get their candidate in, and obviously didn't care about issues like this, endless wars, the genocidal bombing of the water project in Libya, the massive defrauding of starving Haitians, etc. Why didn't they protest the wars? Travel ban? How about the "medicine ban" during the embargo on Iraq which directly caused the death of over a million Iraqis... mostly children?... which was cheerleaded by bought-and-paid-for-CNN, which is owned by Time-Warner a CFR member along with all the bankers and war profiteers.

'American Indians Fight For Land Rights Against Obama’s Executive Decrees'

Joseph Hammond -The Daily Caller - December 22, 2016

Betty Jones, an elderly Navajo medicine woman, grew up among the red rock canyons, mesas, and ancient cliff dwellings of Southeastern Utah. Now, a proposed national monument may prevent her from collecting traditional herbal medicines she’s gathered all her life.

Her family believes Jones is in her mid-nineties, since her birth certificate was issued after her actual birth. The proposed 1.9-million-acre Bears Ears National Monument would potentially limit her access to sacred sites and impact herb collection. She also says that she is entitled to grazing rights on the land under an agreement with the federal government dating to the 1940s.

“My late husband was promised access to the land for sheep grazing and it’s wrong for Washington to go back on its word,“ she says. Nearby, her daughter unrolled maps and opened old letters to prove the claim.
