DIALECT

I am listening to Patrick Stewart “Making It So” on Audible

When he speaks in his Yorkshire dialect he then translates into normal English 

–I don’t need this translation—

My Dad was from Yorkshire (he grew upon a farm)

One of his sayings that made me laugh

Was — “Put wood inthole”

Translation –“shut the door”

I was born in Wigan Lancashire

We travelled to Australia on the SS Strathnaver  in 1952 and arrived at Outer Harbour South Australia on the 2nd March

I turned three on board ship

We returned to the UK in 1959 and stayed six months in a two up two down house

Patrick Stewarts home was only one up one down

At the time I had difficulty understanding my grandfather’s dialect

These days dialects are not as broad

where we stayed in 1959

CHALLENGING CULTURAL NORMS

“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.  “unesco

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

the fact that we are way beyond plague proportions speeds up the extinction process

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: I got upset this morning when I saw a snail dying when I went for my walk

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?

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

7.4 billion:

(1st published 4th April 2017)

It is now more than 8 .2 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.

ANTHROPHOBIC

ANTHROPHOBIC:

Don’t believe it is an actual word but I have been using it for decades:

Earlier this century my youngest granddaughter said “Nan – you are one!”

I used to think there was something wrong with me because I didn’t accept our cultural norms as absolute:

I remember when women had no rights nor status

Couldn’t buy a house couldn’t have a bank account without husband’s or father’s signature

And landlords refused to rent to separated women

If you were not a white heterosexual male you were nothing

Women, gays, those with a disability and people of colour now have rights

But in our culture

Sociopaths succeed

Psychopaths are glorified

And  mindless automatons fit in

from Facebook

Mostly people are good to me

But this isn’t why I dislike humans

Because of our culture influenced by the religion that Constantine had set up to control  his empire

Other lifeforms and the planet we live on are not respected

Humans believe they are superior and more intelligent than otter life forms when in my opinion the opposite is so

They label other life forms as vermin

Two weeks ago I watched a young rat die from ingesting a bait I noticed it at 0630 and it was still alive at midnight

My inability to keep my balance and coordinate prevented me from drowning it which I would have done  if I could

Our culture labels cultures that live in harmony with the environment as primitive and inferior

When the religion Constantine had set up took over people of the old religion were tortured until they confessed to worshipping a devil and then burned alive

I am hoping that ahimsa will become the norm

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

HALLOWEEN/MAY DAY

from Facebook

On the 31st of October

It is Beltane here “Down Under”

The sabbats are seasonal:

so in the southern hemisphere it is Beltane (MayDay)

In the northern hemisphere it is Samhain (Halloween)

Beltane was a fertility festival where the villages would come together:

This way “in- breeding” – in the same village was lessened.

A child conceived at Beltane was considered special.

We witches in the days before Wicca became popular; and before “political correctness” ;

jokingly called it the “Nookie Festival.”

Bright Nookie!  😀

Wiccan 2nd 0001

This is me at the very first Australian Wiccan conference in 1984. At spring equinox:

Where I heard the song “Burning Times” by Charlie Murphy

This version is by Spiral Dance:

Enjoy your celebrations:

Blessed Be

and be kind and respectful of non human life forms

–the continued existence of all life depends on it

SCEPTICS NOT CYNICS

sceptic  noun

a person inclined to question or doubt accepted opinions.

 

cynic

noun

 

a person who believes that people are motivated purely by self-interest rather than acting for honourable or unselfish reasons.

I much prefer people who don’t make clairvoyant messages “fit”:

I tell people “Don’t make it fit!

Question everything!”

Cynics I group together with fascists:

They haven’t reached the mental age where they are able to abstract:

which I think is about eight years old   😛

13007249_554391598072258_396112195393064512_n

There are times when my clairvoyance just isn’t working:

I refuse readings when I  know this is so.

In the fortynine years that I have been  doing readings it hasn’t happened that often.

And I have been wrong when predicting future outcomes:

But when communicating with those who have “passed over” I always ask them to prove who they really are.

I operate on visuals and feelings: clairvoyance and clairsension:

I do “hear” clairaudience: but as everything flashes in a fraction of a second the words are usually difficult to decipher.

As regards surviving physical death I have “asked” my Dad ( deceased): my guides: my higher self:  The concept that I  get is  “Can you conceptualize non linear time?” which I cannot.  Followed by the the answer “If you don’t have a concept for this we cannot explain”

I do not believe in a God: something that upsets some people.

do my best to practice ahimsa:

respect all life and Mother Earth

In my sci fi short story the gods were E T’s “growing” humans as livestock.

This is fiction but I do wonder?
