Who Am I

Honored by the Gods

All of our clan names mean Children of Light we who are Earths Guardians

I remember the smell of primordial soup, swimming in chlorophyll green

Leaving the water behind and the gift of light and sound,

The shedding of skins, the taste of hair and how it felt to shape shift and try on many suits

We co-join with Father Mother God in creation.

I lived for millennium with Enoch; at home in the great Trees

Mother provides every need and we are surrounded by faces alight with contemplation,

intelligence, illuminated reflections of earths bounty

Spring follows our footsteps we walk free with our beastly brothers

Atlantis is home and Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother is God

Our power is from the reflected and buried sun; we travel time and space

Taylor our last …Queen Salustra remembers it as;

More vivid than my present reality, more poignant, more agonizing and more joyful

I lived as hunter gatherer I see the fires reflection dancing with the paintings on the wall,

My head resting on a fur wrapped lap, beloved faces glowing in the warmth

I am secure in this world; I return many times

I trust my clan and my spirit 500,000 years ago

I have seen herds of woolly mammoth on the western horizon

Heard the earth's crust tremble when thousands of musk ox

Hasten across the barren landscape out-distancing a storm

Slept at water's edge to the cackle of hyena and the lions roar

Dragons fly, ogres love the mud and our boys all grow to men

Troy's giants live with us now and Helen still weeps for Paris

I remember Noah's ark and the magic that was drowned

Mothers' cries denied with the dehorning of loved Unicorn

Then I came East as witness to the laying of the desert giants, the

Mystery of the desert night and the mapping of the sky

Mother is now called Isis and the Sun and Moon are Gods

I am surrounded by scholars, scrolls and paneled curtains sway in the breeze

I return again as desert nomad, then as Mongol we walk across an ocean

To great expanses of snow, huge herds of beasts mountains of ice flow by

Animal totems are my God and I am called upon to lead

We follow Brother Bear into the north. My people live there still

I am alive; I walk in the River of Babylonia

I am there at the time of Christ and am near at the crucifixion

Many will forget so we write down his words and they go in all directions

He is Holy Ghost, he is Son of Man, he is Child of Light and he is Heavens' Beloved

I do not like the dark ages when great sorrow and darkness descend

As man becomes corrupt; he cannibalizes Mother and her Angels, kills everything he fears

He moves to the city and begins to leave family behind, hot fires pouring iron

All work to buy food and the church works with kings to enslave

There was land with rolling hills, near castles with keeps and knights on horseback

I can breathe the fabric of my gowns; feel their weight against my legs as I

Look across an early morning field and listen for the sound of his horse
Hooves falling softly on the still darkened road

I remember a drowning at sea and a fall down wide marble stairs

A grievous wound to my neck and a burning, there was a suicide

Tortured and confined I remember they came and took that life away

My best death a peaceful walk into the white to lie with snow angels; drift away

Who am I? I am a Child of Light the rightful heir to the Kingdoms of God

I am Wise Woman, philosopher, Apostle, witness, scribe, prostitute and murderer

A healer, warrior, the life of nun; a convent with silent prayers

I have been man and woman, elf and even a beast or two

I am a prodder of thought and the sculptor of a galaxy, I have even dreamt a world

I remember my past to remember my future from everlasting to everlasting

The Suns Golden Promise

The suns power is beautiful, life giving, it cleans and purifies, it's free; and is environmentally friendly. Many of us are unsure how to reduce our individual environmental footprint. We can buy hybrid cars, recycle, and reuse; purchase organically grown and produced foods and household products. One of the best and easiest ways that allows for participation no matter what your circumstance is solar energy, whether you install solar panels or simply utilize it in its simplest form as a source of radiant heat and light.

The sun has shed her golden light on the earth since before the mountains were formed and the oceans released the lands. Each morning the suns golden promise rises in the east and the glory of the setting sun paints the horizon in a kaleidoscope of colors. It is a white orb of heat sitting high in the noon day sky; it is sun dogs and rainbows that we never tire of looking at. Humans have flocked to beaches to enjoy the beauty of the summer sun and feel its restorative power for millennium. As a Goddess named Sekhmet she was worshipped and through her the tiny kernel of wheat becomes a river of golden grass. She warms old bones and sparks the minds of man.

We Are What We Eat

For your body is that which you eat, and your spirit is that which you think.

 

I stopped eating meat in Oct, 2009. I don't miss meat itself, but confess to some difficulty getting used to substituting it. I am tired of pork and beans without the pork! Fortunately there are some great recipes on a blog called Leslie's Musings @ lwinchar.blogspot.com; she is a vegetarian and is leading the way for many of us. Leslie's reasons for choosing to discontinue eating meat are noted on her blog and many mirror and have influenced mine. Reasons partly to do with animal welfare and abhorrence at the methods by which we manufacture meat; health concerns created by eating a western diet rich in meat, meat by-products (this can include euthanized animals and those that died enroute to the slaughter house), herbicides, pesticides, growth hormones and who really knows what else. For years, I have made every effort to buy and consume happy meat. Meat labelled humanely treated, free range, organic etc. in an effort to stop the madness and corruption of meat manufacturing. But after a time I began to realize that, for myself, I could no longer eat meat and also believe I really cared about animals as sentient beasts, given life as I am by our Creator. Because even humanely treated animals are culled from the herd and then have their brains bashed in and their throats slit. Seems the same as murder of any innocent to me; imagine a madman luring you with reassurance that you are safe and coaxing you to your death.

Hail Unto Thee O Brother

My property has many young oak trees. Oaks have been known to live for a thousand years, there are some trees that have lived over five thousand years and the known worlds current Oldest Living Tree is 9,950 years old! Some of the oak trees I live with are the ancestors of trees born as the glacial Lake Agassiz receeded north. Seeds arriving on the wind or released from the depths?

Think for a moment; trees are life that experience childhoods that last centuries. Their lives outlive all the generations of modern man. Canada is younger than most of the trees remaining in her old growth forests, forests now scarred and bereft. These forests that lived since the eve of the last ice age, imagine what sights they have seen; the birth of stars and the death of comets and the ever changing story of life.

Then along came we, the intelligent, the enlightened, the dominant. We celebrate the tree, yes we do. We build fine furniture and proudly sell it as solid oak or mahogany and to prove our awe of the magesty of the mighty, life giving tree; we bore a hole through her bowels and drive our cars through. O grandmother. We rape and pillage you and your young then build houses and fences to protect ourselves from you.

We the dominant species - the survivors in the contest to see who is fittest. We have earned a good spanking, just like naughty children, we act impulsively, sheepishly and against our own best interest in spite of every indicator we are wrong. Just like days of old?

Why do we have to believe that we either evolved through evolution or we were created for and evicted from the Garden of Eden? If we don't sit on one or the other of those extremes, then we probably don't give the question much thought at all. Doesn't that seem a bit limiting a concept for the great We? So either we imagine we have existed only since the earth recovered from the destruction that saw the loss of the dinosaur. And that somehow, apes transformed over time and one extremely smart version evolved into us; the great We. Or the other absurd theory that suddenly into the midst of an age that saw the great wholly mammoth, some 2-3 million years ago God decides to plop man? I mean where do you think they went after they were evicted from the Garden? Motel 8? Or some desert hut complete with instruction manuals how to forage, prepare and store foods, then promptly set up shop writing down our history?

No matter which side you are one, one thing is certain, is still took us maybe one and a half million years to discover fire. How did we survive? We must have been stupid to live for over a million years without fire, thus without meat. Or perhaps we lived like our Brother the tree, in communion with our Mother, faithful that our Mother would support us, She the giver of life.

Living tree. Forests where the young can thrive and grow for centuries, the elders for millennium in joy. Never divergent from your faith, baring your arms, stretching them high as the fall winds blow over you. Faith that the Mother has provided you the sustanance you need and faith you will hear springs song called on the wings of a bird. Roots reaching deep into the Mothers breast, toes stretched out like the neurons, communicating, stretched forth in comfort and support, communing for all the generations of man.

Why don't you think on this question? How come man ended up living in a cave again? Living in small family groups, telling stories, passing on tradition. stories about great beasts: horned, winged, flying, gigantic, colorful, eclectic beasts! Beasts and peoples, creatures that take place on other worlds and in other times.

It is my guess is that we ended up in caves last time, just the same way we seem to be headed for them again. And we are not stopping our shopping long enought to ask ourselves some very important questions. Why don't we change in light of all the scientific certainty that this planet and the life on in are in dire consequences? If the predictions are right what does that mean to my future and that of my family? Think on it; here in Manitoba we are passing a law to allow a corporation take over the stewardship of our water! A corporation is like a virus and lives only to survive and now water is a comodity? Water should be understood as a gift of life meant for all to share. What does that mean to you as we continue to pollute our lakes and rivers, producing all the stuff we need to generate all the stuff to shop for?

My Brother the tree, hail unto thee. You live in harmony with your mother and your brothers, you know that always a seed will survive, the day will come and you will live again. O smart and wise tree who understands from where life comes. who trusts our Earthly Mother to provide long life. I see you retreat everyday from man's intrusion, you prepare, you dig underground.

Now think for a moment, that somewhere a pocket of safety exists and a seed of humanity will survive. They will live in caves and tell stories of great flying machines, famous men, wars and wonderous beasts, they will try to warn the future through parables, warn of the dangers that lurk in the hearts of man and warn of the death that comes from living outside the Law. We are the Children of an Earthly Mother and everything we do to her, we do to ourselves also, her death will be our death. For her breath is my breath, her blood my blood.

I wonder did Nostradamus dream of the future or remember a past? A past before we ended up in caves again. While our Brother the Tree keeps watch.
