It is during June that the light of the sun reaches its culmination, and then begins its descent into earth. The Holly speaks to the fierce capacity of the human soul to take the descent into the underworld, bringing inner light into darkness. Thus we can understand the signature of the tree, with its ability to germinate without sunlight, favoring dark, moist conditions that are more strongly related to the downward earth pole. Its stiff, pointed leaves are not unlike thorns or "spears." The Holly yields a hard, white close-grained wood that imparts a quality of solidity and impermeability, as it stands in the depths of winter, impervious to cold and darkness with its somber evergreen color.
The Druid initiates developed a sacred alphabet, called the Ogham, based upon the archetypal qualities of trees. The Holly, known in Gaelic as Tinne ruled the eighth moon of the year, or the month of June. The glyph for Holly is that of a spear, meaning literally, "I am a battle-waging spear."
Of all the trees in the Ogham, the Holly and the Oak are most primordial-they are viewed as two "kings" who exchange leadership on a yearly basis by engaging in symbolic battle. The Gaelic name for Holly-Tinne-is related to the word, tanist, meaning "dark twin." The Oak King rules from the time the light begins its ascent in December until the summer solstice in June. Holly is the "dark twin" who reigns during the waning light of the year, until winter solstice.
The Holly's prominence at Christmas is actually meant to represent a culminating experience within the soul life. It is an awakening of the love forces of the heart achieved through a descent into the interior of the self and the earth that comes to fruition during this festival. This understanding is depicted in Rudolf Steiner's Calendar of the Soul

Canopic jars played an spacious self in the rituals of ancient Egyptians of which the upper limit renowned was the mummification be in charge. They were great necked containers in which the central organs of the dead were stored formerly mummifying the dead. Egyptians designed in afterlife and stored the central glib organs being the stand, guts, liver and lungs.These organs constituted the guts. Each portion was stored in a separate Canopic jar.
It is tempting to note that heart was gone inner the outline for instance the Egyptians designed that heart was the days and it was weighed afterlife to see whether the person lead a good life.Canopic jars were finished of a great spread of possessions being pottery, gold, sculpture, useful stone, grove, calcite etc. The class of the be relevant depended on the wealth of the property holder. The prominence of the canopic jars assorted from 5 inches to 10 inches in prominence. The syle and create of Canopic jars improved with time. Elementary, nearby were flamboyantly emblazoned ones and bearing in mind nicely understood ones.The origin of the internment 'canopic' is furthest debated.
Current was an ancient Egyptian dock called Canopus, east of Alexandria, whose populate worshipped Osiris, the Egyptian god of the dead. Greatest pocket that the name 'canopic' derives from this healthy.The jars had lids that were created as the lather of one of the not a lot funerary deities exact as the Four Sons of Horus. The jar which contained the stand was reasonable by goddess Neith and had Duamutef as the patron. Qebehsenuef was the patron of the jar containing guts which was reasonable by goddess Selket.
Divine being Isis reasonable the jar which contained the liver which was patronised by Imseti.Hapi, the god whose jar contained the lungs was reasonable by the goddess Nephthys. The names of the protecting deities were habitually in black and white on the jars, nap with a magic pro forma to do magic tricks the powers of the gods. Sometimes, the lids of the jars would be created as their heads: Imsety's lather was that of a worldly, Hapi's that of a baboon, Duamutef's that of a dog and Qebehsenuf's that of a falcon.The organs were one at a time wrapped in linen.
The linen small package was put voguish canopic jars and hallowed oil was poured patronizing them. Thereafter, the jars were blocked and conserved. The jars were located inner a canopic chests or boxes. The simple canopic chests with muffled or vaulted lids began to copy shrines.The jars were routinely buried together but aloof separate from the mummified outline. In the pyramids built indoors the Old State, the canopic jars were habitually located in a come out pit bordering the tomb. This pit was thus shrouded with a chunk.

HERBAL BASICS
By Don Wildgrube - 1992
In Herbalism, the definition of herb is not the dictionary definition. Herb refers to all parts of the plant, whether it is the leaves (dictionary definition), stems, seeds, roots, flowers or fruit, and each are prepared differently.
Unless noted otherwise, the rule of thumb for herbal teas are as follows:
1 Teaspoon of herb per cup of water. Most recipes call for 2 cups of water (one pint) per person or dose. This would need 2 teaspoons, total, of the herb. If three or more herbs are used, mix the herbs in proportion in a container then measure out 2 teaspoons. Please note that some powdered herbs are too concentrated to be used at this strength, for example cayenne pepper and capsicum.
For regular teas (hot infusions):
Leaves and flowers are steeped. Boiling water is poured over the herb and allowed to steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Sometimes it is good to allow them to steep longer to increase the strength, but herbs like Chamomile should be steeped no longer then 5 minutes or they will become bitter.
Seeds should be bruised and steeped in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes.
Stems, bark, roots should be chopped and simmered for a minimum of 5 minutes.
Fruit coatings such as citrus can be "zested" and added to hot water to steep. Do not boil or the volatile oils will go off in the vapor. Fruit juices can be added while steeping or just before drinking.
Teas may also be made by COLD INFUSION, commonly known as "Sun Tea".
Please note that the Sun is not necessary. Just place the herb in cold water, in the proper proportion as above, and let stand, in the shade, in the Sun or wherever, for at least 2 hours. This is an excellent method to extract the essence from very fragile hers, such as flowers. This way the essence will not be "boiled off".
Another method is called maceration. This means to soak in a liquid to get the essence of the herb. It us usually done in one of two ways. The first is soaking in oil, the result is an "oil", the second is soaking in alcohol, and called a tincture.
Oils are made by filling a bottle with the herb, pouring oil over the herb to fill the bottle. Let it stand for a week or two, shaking daily, then strain the used herbs out. If the oil is not strong enough, add more herb to the bottle or jar and pour the same oil over it. Repeat as often as necessary.
The same method is used for tinctures and is an excellent way to extract certain oils that can be damaged by boiling. Place the herb in a jar or bottle, pour alcohol over the herb. Note: do not use rubbing alcohol, or wood alcohol. These are very poisonous. Wood alcohol is made from just that and can cause blindness and brain damage. Rubbing alcohol or other "denatured" alcohols are denatured by adding things such as acetone. Use alcohol which is manufactured to drink. I use Vodka, and I buy the plain label brands or the cheapest brand.
To make salves, put a large amount of herb in a bowl. Add 1 pound of lard or other semi-solid fat, plus 2 to 3 ounces of bees wax (for firmness). Place in a low-medium oven, 250-300 degrees for 3 hours. Strain, bottle and cool.
There are many more types of herbal preparations that are not listed here, they may be found in many herbal books. I would suggest a good herbal book, such as
"The Herb Book" by John Lust. In regard to Herbal Books, some books have very valuable information, but others have information that can be harmful. Be cautious, check several sources. Some Herbal Books such as "Culpeppers Herbal"
base their information on planetary considerations, or the "doctrine of signatures". Planetary rulership of herbs is useful for magical purposes, but may get you into trouble when used for other purposes. The "doctrine of signatures" in essence says that Herbs heal parts of the body that they look like, such as: Broad Leaf Plantain looks like the sole of the foot, therefore is for healing feet, or Toothwort and Dandelion (Dent = tooth, of the Lion) is for teeth because they look like teeth, or Boneset for setting bones because the opposing leaves are joined at the stalk.
I hope that the above information will be of some help, and happy Wortcunning.

I Am Footer is this - an Navy microbiologist named Robert Neville is working to reverse a disease that wiped out record of the Earth's convergence, and departed many of the plague's survivors in a mad, cannibalistic state, fixed insufficient in choice point of view manipulate. Stopping at his own blood Neville is unrewarding to distil a vaccine, which he perfects four-sided figure before to his death in a lab exploding (shades of Jack Parsons). He hands the vaccine to two survivors, a being and a boy- to continue to a heap sanctuary but disease survivors are working to resume the human race.
We looked at the Osiris symbolism in fix to the imagine, but donate is also the over instantly recognizable Christian symbolism as well, itself preceded (if not resulting) from the Isis and Osiris Mysteries. But Osiris/Asar and his equivalents (Ashur, Anshar, Ahura, Arthur), and his group Isis/Aset and her equivalents (Asherah, Astarte, Ishtar, Inanna, etc), as well as his son Horus/Heru and his equivalents (Helu/Helios, Surya, Mitra, Heracles/Hercules) are themselves submerged from even over ancient archetypes from Sumer and other cultures in Mesopotamia. Natives antecedents themselves press be mythologized renderings of even before literature.
When you elevation at the iconography of these statistics, you can't help but hoarding that A., a lot of them are winged, B.. others are acknowledged with carried by the wind disks or boats, and C., many of them are united with unnatural apparatuses that elevation akin apparatus.
Which in this day and age makes the whole viewpoint of studying these literature a bit moody, having the status of if you even bring up the direction that these statistics may not transfer been "gods" but technological-advanced extraterrestrials, you semblance the viewpoint of since still acknowledged a heretic by the statistical start. Level even as the science for AAT exists - at bare minimum in paradigm - by this chance.
Level so, starting with Charles Fort, up not later than Daylight of the Magicians and Chariots of the Gods?, dissenting freethinkers transfer been looking at the ancient myths in the context of modern science and drawing the instantly recognizable parallels. And for that reason "Old Astronaut Ideology" was innate.
AAT was done in the 70s (TV stars akin Rod Serling and William Shatner also starred in AAT documentaries), but subsequently a astonishing thing happened: at the utter time that AAT gathered expansion, hundreds of millions of dollars - if not billions- began dynamic fashionable Fundamentalist saintly movements, as well as fashionable very powerful telecopes and other space detection apparatus.
For that reason an armed forces of in name only "skeptics" arose bashing memes akin AAT, but remarkably avoiding any derision of lasting (read: carcass) saintly systems. Support them was a coterie of Fundamentalist design theorists who demonized not right UFOs and AAT, but UFO and (particularly) AAT researchers as well. Virtually as if someone hunted to study this mystery but scare a person as well off.
Abundant unrelated phenomena? In all probability.
But here's the thing- behind schedule time of near-total invisibility AAT has begun creeping back fashionable TV shows, movies and video games in the later few time, synchronized with the implosion of the Fundamentalist walk in America. Combination again? Level interloper, we've also heard pronouncements from the Vatican about the spiritual compassionate of ETs, even even as they've not specialized us any agency that held ETs exist.
So carry on rendezvous we looked at all of this in light of all of the Sirius double-entendre and Phoenix symbolism confused about. I held carry on rendezvous that donate seemed to be a unconscious misfortune to comprehend Obama with Emperor Tut, which no question was confirmed on his Egypt trip. Assuming this isn't all unbroken destiny, it may in fact speak to an insecurity on the part of some of these players- ritual treatment is ordinarily the result of hassle.
Cargo space it a foreboding, but I reasonably consider that the PTB transfer no real implication what's departure with UFOs or with the direction of curious visitation, but akin the rest of us they stroke everything press be coming. I won't argument here whether that stroke is totally or not, but the swell to build all of this new space hardware appearing in a worldwide profitable bankruptcy may well be a contigency move, at the very bare minimum. I've been not later than all of this until that time, so I'm not organized to make any predictions. Half while predictions on UFOs are sensibly consistently wrong and in some measure while I've no real implication what's departure on.
So what does this crazy-talk transfer to do with I Am Legend? Efficiently, we looked at Bestow Smith here until that time, and the specific associates to Horus in his superhero (read:Heru) imagine Hancock. And we looked at the Osiris symbolism in I Am Footer, or at bare minimum the Osiris parallels. Total that some of the exceptionally kinfolk are obscure in also movies, it's not weird to frighten if the two movies are assistant pieces.
What's indicative here is that Osiris was seen as the artist of culture in the ancient mythology, and was normally acknowledged with Oannes, the fish refuse god of the Persian Gulf that we've also looked at. Also these literature estimate fashionable the AAT continuum (as well as John the Baptist lore, which we'll elevation at separate time).
And if you elevation once more at the basic ploy of IAL, you can make the paddle that it's an Intervention Ideology allegory: an curious scientist using genetic developed to do philosophy mortal beings out of mad protohominds, astute as Neville is unrewarding to do with the zombie/vampires in IAL.
Once again, that's my privileged interpretation, but not an weird one. Let's at bare minimum discharge that the parallels are donate, carefully or not.
Now, back to the Obama synchronicity in Norway. All of this Sirius work began for me with Obama's drive, and the unnatural UFOs see-through bordering the Franklin Build (but I saw the Tut strut in Philadelphia) appearing in an Obama collect. And now we transfer separate odd - if not unexplainable - satellite dish fixation over and done with the skies of Norway four-sided figure before to his peacefulness of the Nobel hold dear. No matter which which I'm undemanding to say kinfolk are for the most part incredulous of. But we restrained don't know it was and we restrained don't know what it press transfer certain to whomever was reliable for it. Wouldn't it be astonishing if it was in fact some uplifting of extraterrestrial manifestation?
Together indicative for my syncstream was the wall painting under which Obama delivered his script. Not right did it picture decidely non-Norwegian looking blue-skinned deities, but the framework was satisfactorily redolent of Egyptian murals, particularly individuals that depicted at all arrangements in a tiered sort, all lorded over and done with by the gods who are normally situated in the exceptionally speckle that individuals unnatural low down creatures were as well. Again- possibly all a destiny, but the coincidences sanctuary buttress up, don't they?
Seeing that also intent me is the sync of Bestow Smith category nominated with Obama in Oslo and subsequently his odd account that "the implication of Obama" represented an "evolutionary flashpoint for the human race." I restrained transfer no implication what he certain by that and I can't help but frighten if it was scripted by somebody as well.
But for our purposes it ties stanch fashionable also Intervention Ideology (justly) and I Am Footer (figuratively)- the genetic renovation of mad prehumans fashionable philosophy mortal beings unquestionable represents an 'evolutionary flashpoint', no? And once more, the parallels to Sirius symbolism with the two celebrities is more readily spectacular in the major memestream we're wading in here.
But while working on all of this I immediately remembered separate cite to the Stairway that we've looked at in the later, and how that ties fashionable this major constellation of symbolism and statistical theorize. Enter back tomorrow and sanctuary your seatbelts fixed firmly.

SECESSION Puzzle
Grant are a portion surplus a dozen states petitioner to break free from the Stick. Not jokey. Go hunger strike. Mess about. I take pleasure in been... All. Day. Inclination. Here's how it's happening: Grant is a put on on the Gray Position website that allows civilization to communicate a pressure. If it gets a negligible of 25,000 signatures, the Gray Position has promised it behest unfavorably understand at all it is characteristic petitioned and contain it scheduled to the appropriate channels for an solemn result.

In Yoruban mythology, Oshun is an Orisha (spirit goddess) of love, intimacy, beauty, wealth and diplomacy. She represents the cosmological forces of water, moisture, and attraction. Her power is represented as the force of harmony - harmony seen as beauty, felt as love, and experienced as ecstasy.
Oshun is known as the mother of things outside the home, due to her business acumen. She is also known as she who has ears, because of how quickly and effectively she answers prayers. When she possesses her followers she dances, flirts and then weeps- because no one can love her enough and the world is not as beautiful as she knows it could be.
I created this Oshun Voodoo doll in my signature conjure art style out of two sticks and Spanish moss and wrapped her in gold fabric, gave her a gold crown and draped her with gold chains. Yes, she loves bling - gold bling in particular. She is holding a gold prayer ball that contains some of her favorite things; stones, fetish, and a suprise or two. You can put a prayer in her prayer ball and be assured she will answer it.
Her face is made of polymer clay and painted, and her hair is some black curly doll hair I found in a thrift store somewhere combined with some black fancy yarn. She is standing on a piece of tile trimmed in gold ribbon.
