POPULATION

“Humans have driven the extinction of at least 881 animal species since around 1500, with many scientists suspecting the true number is far higher, possibly reaching over a million species by some estimates, including threatened ones. Plant and invertebrate extinctions are also significant but less documented. The current rate of species loss is unprecedented, leading to an ongoing sixth mass extinction, a phenomenon primarily caused by human activities like habitat destruction.  “

For those who don’t want to know that the human plague is making all life extinct because they believe they cannot do anything about it

KUNG FU TZ   (Confucius) SAY—- “Better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness”

me age three

I started reading sci fi anthologies when I was twelve

Mainly so I could read Asimov short stories

In one of these short stories ( I cannot remember the authors name) E T’s were flying past planet earth and saw a plague destroying the planet

They exterminated the plague

I didn’t get it at the time because

The population of Australia in 1962 was approximately 10million.

And the majority in the eastern states

Dad at Northfield

Dad’s Harley Davidson

The suburbs in South Australia were basically small country towns

We moved from Northfield to Salisbury

Which still had horse troughs in the main street and there were still farms with return veranda houses

Dad building a shed at Salisbury North

We didn’t lock our homes or our cars

In the hot weather we slept on the front lawn

Small businesses treated people as valued customers

The bus driver would drop children off at their front door if it were raining

I could phone home from a public phone box even if I had no money

I just asked the operator to put me through

Everyone was friendly and they helped each other

I have always loved being in nature and often ridiculed for it.

me on Kangaroo island in the 1980s

I didnt realize when i was young that i was feeling the energy

i know now thanks to social media that others feel the healing energy of nature

When I first moved to Goolwa it was basically a country town

Everyone said “Hello” whether they knew you or not

And small businesses treated us like valued customers and friends

These days no one says hello unless they know you

People are rude and impatient and only a few small businesses have been able to afford to stay in business

The meaning behind my story is that the human plague isn’t just bad for the ecology and other life forms it is bad for humans too

 A SHORT STORY ABOUT HEALING THE  BLUE PLANET

I wrote and published this sci fi short story a few years ago (under the above title) when the human population was only 7.4 billion:

(1st published 4th April 2017)

It is now more than 8.4 billion.

I wrote this short story as social satire and sympathetic magic

The idea that we were genetically engineered is from Mayan writings plus my belief that humans are not indigenous to the planet

The concept of translocation was once a practice pre Roman Empire and apparently still is in some so called primitive cultures

The idea that humans were livestock for the gods is mine but am sure others have thought this

I chose Ophiuchus because I was I was drawn to this constellation

I chose Kunapipi because I respect and admire the wisdom and spirituality of indigenous Australians

If you think that death is the end this book will make you question that assumption:

In the 1970’s I was intrigued by psychic abilities:

A fellow student at teachers college introduced me to Spiritualism:

I thought people were way too gullible.

I went from thinking silly humans are afraid of dying and are making the information fit to realizing that sometimes the communication with those who have died is genuine.

There are so many stories that I would love to include but it would be breaking client confidentiality

YULE/MID WINTER

THE FIRST PAGE OF MY BOOK OF SHADOWS -as I was first initiated in 1983 it is very old

It is Mid Winter -Yule –

and Mid Summer  -Litha-  in the northern hemisphere.

THE WHEEL OF THE YEAR

The Wheel Of The Year: pagan festivals celebrating the seasons:

 solstices and equinoxes.

When the Romans and Christianity took over they could not get rid of these festivals:

So every church festival was originally a pagan one.

FYI – pagan means village dweller.

Wicca means wise –or to bend

Heathen means dweller on the heath.

The concept that we are evil came from the “Inquisition”:

(This is where the Satanists got there ideas — so if you are interested in Wicca trust your gut)

Our rituals are similar to American Indian rituals:

Or at least the one I was involved in which was Sioux tradition.

We dance and chant to raise power.

NO SACRIFICES

Anyone who has read my other blogs will know that I will literally not harm a fly

or any other creature

Blessed Yule

Blessed Litha

to those in the northern hemisphere

WOMENS RIGHTS

in my day there were no womens shelters — no Domestic violence orders

In the 1960’s  my boyfriend drove to the middle of nowhere late at night

Parked his fj holden and said

“Come across or walk home”

I got pregnant

I was considered a whore and a tramp

And treated with disdain

And forced to marry

I had a government job working with computers (that were the size of wardrobes in refrigerated rooms)

A job that I had sat an entrance exam for

 Only the top one percent were employed

I had to give up this job because married women were not allowed to hold government jobs

staff traiing for my first job

My husband habitually would fight with his boss and quit

 There was no social security so I got work as a barmaid at night

And was abused by other women for working when I had a child/children

My husband who was 6 foot 4 inches and twenty stone constantly hit me

When I was having my face stitched at hospital on one occasion the RN said

”My husband doesn’t hit me”  – implying I deserved it

Everyone told me I must have deserved it

I believed for decades that I did

I went to a solicitor to get a divorce and was told abuse wasn’t grounds for divorce: I had to prove adultery

On more than one occasion when I called the police they would take one look at him and just leave

At one time my husband chased me wielding an axe

Fortunately the neighbours saved me by keeping me in their house

The police treated me as if I were the criminal

 So I went to the police station and confronted them

They said

“You always go back”

To which I replied

“There is no where to go”

Women had no rights nor status

We couldn’t have a bank account

We couldn’t buy a house

 and landlords would not rent to separated women

When I was finally able to leave this relationship the second man I married was

 “past master of mental cruelty”

as his first wife (already remarried) warned me

I was in Women’s liberation in the 1970s

 some women  abused us saying that things were as they were meant to be

So happy we now have rights

Although  these days sometimes things are taken to ridiculous extremes and men are victimized

Religion is what influences a culture.

this post was originally entitled “Thank God I am an atheist Pun intended”

When I was young I wondered what was wrong with me because our cultural norms felt so wrong – now that I am older and wiser I know our cultural norms are wrong

When Constantine decided to combine Jesus teachings and Judaism and make it the religion of Rome –there was a meeting in Nicaea to decide what to put in the bible and what to leave out

This religion is responsible for genocide and the extinction of hundreds and thousands of species

“Humans have driven hundreds of thousands of species to extinction. While the IUCN Red List has documented over 900 explicitly confirmed animal and plant extinctions since 1500, scientists estimate that up to several hundred thousand species have been lost to human activities throughout our history.The extinction crisis is driven by habitat destruction, hunting, the introduction of invasive species, and climate change. The true scale of the loss varies depending on the timeframe and methodology:” The Guardian

I respect peoples religious beliefs and won’t argue – several decades ago I made a Jehovah’s Witness lady cry – so promised myself I wouldn’t argue in future

A man who I genuinely like was arguing that someone must have created this world and that I only believe in things that I see  

All I  said to him was –the “only believing in what I see” doesn’t apply to me and that I had studied world religions

I wanted to say but didn’t

“Even if some omnipotent being created this reality why would it insist on being worshipped?”

Monty Python

Several of my friends have told me that I am not an athiest

They may be correct:

but I do not really have a god concept:

if I did it would be Pantheism.

Since I was 60 I have gone back to church services a few times because I like the ritual and Jesus teachings.

But the fascism

and people who claim to know God’s will

makes me leave.

One group of ladies came to my house and told me what had to be thrown out.

One was a poster with amazing art work called Astral circus.

They went through my book cases and told me my anthropology books were evil.

I have the greatest respect for Jesus but believe him to be a teacher not a god.

When Constantine decided to combine Jesus teachings and Judaism and make it the religion of Rome –there was a meeting in Nicaea to decide what to put in the bible and what to leave out

If “God” is a loving god why would it desire worship?

Religion is what influences a culture.

Our culture believes other life forms don’t feel and have no soul.

We have destroyed the ecology and continue to make all life extinct.

I tried to practice ahimsa before I was aware of this word and concept:

People ridiculed and abused me for this:

some told me I was anthropomorphising animals and other life forms.

As if I would wish any creature to be human 😛

If we credit some “Being” as having created this reality, this “Being” would have to be a sadistic psychopath.

Every creature has to deprive another life form of its existence in order to survive. ( Its called eating)

Just breathing kills other life forms! As we breathe in micro organisms.

I believe everything that exists has a consciousness: And because of my clairvoyant experiences I believe everything survives beyond physical death.

I asked clairvoyantly about “the meaning of life” which strangely enough isn’t 42 (Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy)

The answer I got was more a concept than words but translated, I was asked if I could conceptualize NO linear time and when I said “No” I was told that “they” couldn’t explain.

CHALLENGING CULTURAL NORMS

I know that many people realize that our cultural norms are a major factor in causing the extinction of all life.

But still conform to these social norms:

Not because they are worried about what others think:

 but because these attitudes are “hard wired”.

WASPs (as in White Anglo Saxon Protestant) believe that we own things

we are part of a culture that inculcates only money matters.

Multi nationals control the world and the politicians

WASPs (as in White Anglo Saxon Protestant)

Don’t like a messy garden with leaves on the driveway:

Don’t like bird poop on their home or cars:

Don’t want flies ants and other insects in their homes:

Snails in their vegie patch:

Or birds eating the vegetables or fruit:

The attitude that animals and other life forms have no soul no feelings and are not intelligent and that humans have the right to torture and murder them horrifies me   

I am not immune to cultural norms

Technically I am a WASP

And I realize that hygiene is necessary

I believe we will restore the ecological balance:

We need a major attitude change:

How will this happen while multinationals rule the world?

The quote is from chopra.com One of the most common translations of namasté is “The divine light in me bows to the divine light within you.”
