I am frequently told trees are a fire hazard
My trees don’t light fires humans do!
Human arsonists have set fire to the side of my property after torching the local bushland.
So the way to stop bushfires would be to get rid of arsonists –not trees
I am frequently told trees area fire hazard
Someone recently said
“trees belong in the bush” (referring to natives)
To which I replied
“they are in the bush –we moved in”
I am on a corner block
The neighbour behind me and to the northeast have removed all trees from their properties
and the neighbour next to me chopped down all the trees — the original owner loved trees.
The council removed a tree opposite me
It wasn’t in the way of anything –not even impinging on the footpath
After it was chopped three magpies stood by the stump
Their home gone

I am opposed to absolute ideologies (fascism) so I do not impose my ideas on others.
But I am tired of others imposing their views on me.
I am sick of people telling me to get rid of trees.
Trees are essential for the air and soil.
And essential for other life forms
Considering famous people like David Attenborough have been ignored I am not expecting anyone taking notice of me
I think that trees should have been listed as an endangered species a century ago
and a permit required to kill one.
Real-estate development removes millions of trees destroying the homes and food source of other life forms and effecting both the soil and air.
So instead of chopping down trees lets bring in harsher penalties for arsonists.
And build our homes in harmony with the environment.
Oops I forgot: People believe that cultures that live in harmony with the environment and don’t worship money are primitive and therefore inferior.
I no longer belong to “Trees for Life” because they have devolved into an impotent bureaucracy.
Not only do the multinationals rule the world they have the masses “brain washed”.






I have recorded a “Tree Meditation” it is paraphrased form MOTHER WIT by Diane Mariechild (Plant meditiation)
HUG A TREE — ask permission of the tree first
NAMASTE
Some friends insist that I am not an atheist
But I do not believe in a God
This concept implies an hierarchical structure and causes humans to believe they are superior to other life forms
I believe all life to be equal sentient and connected
Either humans have lost this connection or never had it because they are not indigenous to this planet
I have studied world religions and I did a great deal of research when I lectured on Wicca starting in the 1980s
Although western religion has done a lot of harm there are a lot of good religious people
I still love Desiderata
A long time ago some sociopath changed one word in Desiderata and sold it as his
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 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
the power of apparently influencing events by using mysterious or supernatural forces.
“suddenly, as if by magic, the doors start to open”
**************
What we label as magic is actually quantum physics
Einstein’s E = mc2
I understood that time decrease with velocity in my teens (1960s)
But it is thanks to Star Trek that I realized that matter and energy are interchangeable
“Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.” On the most basic level, the equation says that energy and mass (matter) are interchangeable; they are different forms of the same thing. Under the right conditions, energy can become mass, and vice versa.” From PBS.org
I questioned my spirit guides about life after death and was “told” “can you conceptualize no linear time?” when I answered “no” they said that they couldn’t explain
I can accept that there is nonlinear time but I cannot conceptualize it
The first page of my Book of Shadows which was started in 1983

“Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfil
An it HARM NONE
Do what thou will”
Despite training “would be witches” last century and earlier this century I stopped believing that we create our own reality.
I’m back to knowing that we do
Western culture has us believing we are powerless
Yet what we emotionally give power to manifests
Hence PLACEBOS and NOCEBOS
The Witches Pyramid “says” To know: to Dare: to Will and TO KEEP SILENT
I used to tell neophytes that it is intent that matters and emotion that empowers.
Most people would be aware of the idea of a self fulfilling prophecy:
“A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that directly or indirectly causes itself to become true, by the very terms of the prophecy itself, due to positive feedback between belief and behaviour.” Wikipedia

The power of suggestion –When I am in too much pain to cope or my anxiety disorder kicks in I say to my self “RELAX” and “SMILE”.
Try saying smile to yourself and see what happens 😀
There is so much available on magic and spells these days:
My favourite is Marion Weinstein’s “Positive Magic”

And this is a quote from Doreen Valiente’s “Natural Magic”:
“Believe in the possibility of what you intend to do, hold it strongly in your mind, and it will happen.”
A spell from my very old book of shadows.
When I collect the leaves from the Bay Laurel I thank both the tree and the leaves.

Bay Leaf Spell
Prepare a container with live coals or charcoal blocks:
Scatter crumbled bay leaves over them:
concentrate on the wish you are making:
Chant:
“Bay leaf burn fire
Draw to me my heart’s desire.”
Speak of your wish aloud:
And repeat the ritual thrice.
**************
Blessed be
and be kind to non- human life forms.

In the following book I hope to help those who wish to develop their clairvoyant abilities.
In “The Clairvoyant Experiences Of A Sceptic” I told a few of my clairvoyant experiences.
Listening to others similar stories made me realize that
it is so much better if you can have these experiences first hand.
Kung fu tz (Confucius) say “Perseverance prospers”
So don’t give up – you will succeed
And use the recorded meditations in my blog
The clairvoyant Experiences of a Sceptic is not a literary masterpiece
but a true story.
I dont know the meaning of life:
nor understand the nature of reality:
I do know physical death is not the end.
And there are so many amazing stories omitted so as not to break client confidentiality.
The second part I wrote as therapy and had not intended to include.
It wasn’t included in the original l publication
( I started shaking when I tried to write about the abuse so it is badly written and a great deal omitted)
Protestant ethic, in sociological theory, the value attached to hard work, thrift, and efficiency in one’s worldly calling, which, especially in the Calvinist view, were deemed signs of an individual’s election, or eternal salvation.—Britannica
In the book, Weber wrote that capitalism in Northern Europe evolved when the Protestant (particularly Calvinist) ethic influenced large numbers of people to engage in work in the secular world, developing their own enterprises and engaging in trade and the accumulation of wealth for investment.—Weber
Most people are aware that
The Protestant Ethic is causing the extinction of all life
At a very young age I couldn’t understand why only money mattered
I presumed that there was something wrong with me
The person who is supposed to love a child when no one else does
Told me for 63 years and 8 months that I was
“Useless; a failure; a disappointment; cannot do anything right; neither use nor ornament”
So i had no self confidence.
When I was in primary school we were asked to write an essay entitled “My wish”
I wrote that I wished that people cared more about the environment and other life forms than money —despite being embarrassed about thinking differently to others
Money has never been important to me
You may presume that I never had to go without —but this isn’t so
In the 1960s I had to give up my job working with computers when I got married
–Married women were not allowed to hold government jobs-
My husband fought with the boss and quit his job on a regular basis
There was no social security in those days so if you didn’t work you didn’t eat
Aspects of our culture that I disagree with
Ownership of land –taking land away from other life forms
Hierarchical structure
Putting other life forms or other cultures below W.A.S.P s on this hierarchy
Presumption that humans are more intelligent because they talk
Presumption that other life forms aren’t sentient
“Dictionary
Definitions from Oxford Languages · Learn more
sentient
/ˈsɛnʃnt,ˈsɛntɪənt/
adjective
able to perceive or feel things.”
Our culture cares more about helping the criminals rather than the victims
People make comments –
“You get what you pay for”
Before I did a reading for a lady a few years ago she told me that anyone who charged less than $80 was no good (afterward she was very happy with her very inexpensive reading)
I wrote a paper on Karl Marx when I majored in sociology
Karl Marx is portrayed as an evil person:
Yet he advocated sharing:
China and other so called Communist countries do not have communism:
they have state capitalism.
Communism is sharing.
Humans in modern cultures don’t share with one another or other lifeforms.
This will eventually cause all life to become extinct— and not that far away.

I started writing the prequel the same year 2017 –but I still haven’t finished it – I lose my motivation because I don’t like scary stuff and it is where humans are grown as live stock by the “gods” –maybe I’ll finish it this year
MISCONCEPTIONS
I realize some people still equate witches with evil people who sacrifice animals.
Not us!
I moved to a retirement village at the end of April 2023 – I have only told one person in the village that I am a witch and a clairvoyant –this age group definitely think witches are evil –am wearing my pentagram today no one has noticed
My tradition is Alexandrian/Gardenarian and we work sky clad
I became interested in the 1970’s – my first degree initiation was 1983
This is the first page of my Book of Shadows started in 1983

“Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfil
An it harm NONE
Do what thou will”
The concept that witches were evil began at the inquisition when the Church of Rome was trying to get rid of the Old Religion and the women herbalists.

The Satanists, who we are sometimes equated with, got their ideas from Malleus Maleficarum,
which is about how to torture people to get them to say they worship the devil and not about witchcraft as it says if you Google!
Our rituals are similar to American Indian rituals –at least the one I am aware of, which is Sioux tradition.
After telling a friend that I used to lecture on Wicca in the 1980s and early 1990s –
I told her that in the 1990s when it was becoming popular it attracted a lot of people to training courses
Her reply was “you must have made a lot of money“
WE DID NOT CHARGE
Neophytes were asked to donate for candles and incense.
Back to witches not being evil.
I will not kill anything — Not spiders: mice: insects: trees –
I believe everything that exists has consciousness and deserves respect.
I have cried on many occasions because I haven’t been able to save a bird: animal or reptile that had been hit by a car – at least I move them off the road so that they are not continuously run over.
I get upset when moths throw themselves at the window to get to the light.
This doesn’t mean there are not people out there calling themselves witches and killing animals.
Male witches are called witches,
so if someone claims to be a warlock be suspicious.
***
The following words had different meanings once:
Wicca meant wise or to bend
Heathen = dweller on the heath
Pagan = village dweller
Weird = magic
Sinister = left-handed
***
Blessed be
and be kind to non humans

I should have called this book LIFE AFTER DEATH as my experiences convinced me that this life isn’t all that there is – mind you the last time I posted a blog with this title it only got 2 likes – guess I am threatening the status quo
The clairvoyant Experiences of a Sceptic is not a literary masterpiece
but a true story.
I dont know the meaning of life:
nor understand the nature of reality:
I do know physical death is not the end.

People tend to believe that a belief in God and heaven is necessary for a belief in an “afterlife”
Surviving death isn’t synonymous with a religious belief.
We do not understand the nature of reality.
(or at least I don’t)
It appears we exist in an alternate reality when we are “not here”! In this reality the electrons are apparently moving at a different speed around the protons and neutrons so it is out of phase. ( This is my very limited understanding of quantum physics)
Another misconception is that people have to be “earth bound” to communicate with the living:
NOT SO!
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.
We may all be in a huge holodeck:
As suggested by Star Trek Next Generation —
And “What The Bleep”
“Ship In A Bottle” season six — Star Trek Next Geneeration
In the “special features” of What the “Bleep” they mention that Professor WilliamTiller gives the mathematical constructs of a hologram that we “are” living in.
(William A. Tiller is a professor emeritus of materials science and engineering at Stanford University)
Until the following I suspected clairvoyance was wishful thinking and vivid imagination
The incident that convinced me that clairvoyance was a reality happened at work. I was a student nurse at Strathmont Centre. I was washing dishes with a male staff nurse. We didn’t have kitchen hands in those days. Kym was six feet tall and rather heavy set and had long blonde hair. A man (deceased) flashed in (when I see or hear things they flash in a fraction of a second) He had Kym’s high forehead and similar features but wore a suit with a crepe ribbon and a cross and had a short back and sides haircut and dark hair.
I asked Kym if his father was a minister. He asked me why and initially I would not answer. I eventually told him what I saw and Kym told me that it was his uncle. He asked me what denomination his uncle was.
I did not know.
After Kym left the kitchen I asked his uncle, whom I could no longer “see”, what he had died of. The words were that fast all I could make out was sclerosis. Because we were with the intellectually disabled I thought “tubular sclerosis?” Then I realized it was multiple sclerosis.
When we were having a tea break Kym told me that his uncle died of multiple sclerosis. I was amazed and said that his uncle had “told” me this!
Kym said “Get more”! I informed him that I couldn’t.
But I saw panama hats and monkeys. I said “He was a missionary in South America” Kym said “Yes”.
I then saw masks and a jungle and said he was also a missionary in New Guinea. Kym told me this wasn’t so. When Kym came to work the next day, he said that his mother had confirmed that her brother was a missionary in New Guinea. This showed that I wasn’t just reading Kim’s mind.
AHIMSA
THANKYOU to people that care about non-human life and the ecology
According to sociology
And magic
When a large number of people campaign for change
Change will happen

I do not know the meaning of life
but would like to share my thoughts on the subject
I asked clairvoyantly some years ago about surviving physical death
which I know from my clairvoyant experiences is so
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.
Froom “What The Bleep” I was made aware that if we didn’t have a concept for something then it didn’t exist for us
I was brought up Church of England
I taught Sunday school in my teens
even though I studied world religion as an elective at teachers
college
and researched religions before giving a lecture on Wicca at the WEA
I still persisted with Christianity
Did the “speaking in tongues” in my mid-twenties
And even went back to church in my late fifties
From a very young age our culture and religion seemed wrong to me
But having 63 years and 8 months of physical and mental abuse from the person who is supposed to love us even if no one else does – I doubted myself
I thought it was me that was “wrong” not the culture
Now that I am old and wiser
I believe our culture is wrong
We don’t respect other life forms
We presume that there is a god
Who requires worship and obedience
This presumption is based on the idea that there is must be an hierarchical structure
The religion of Rome was set up by Constantine to control the empire
When Constantine combined Jesus teachings with Judaism ( and a mix of some Roman ideology) there was a meeting in Nicaea to decide what to put in the bible and what to leave out
Jesus teachings, although edited, are a positive input to this religion.
The Bible and the Koran are almost identical
Despite training “would be witches” last century and earlier this century I stopped believing that we create our own reality.
I’m back to knowing that we do
Western culture has us believing we are powerless
Yet what we emotionally give power to manifests
Hence PLACEBOS and NOCEBOS

If religion works for you
I respect that
Namaste
It is my hope that life and the ecology survives and heals
As I have already passed my three score years ten it would be good to see changes happening before I die
humans are way over plague proportions
this and the Protestant Ethic is causing so much damage
I was in animal liberation and the original Greenpeace in the 1970sproportions
These organisations have sadly become impotent bureaucracies
A friend was telling me yesterday that the local farmers habitually kill pure bred red heeler puppies by hitting them on the head because there are too many of them
Which is cruel and thoughtless
It infuriates me that humans don’t respect other life forms
Humans are way beyond plague proportions
We have know this for decades
But humans will not even consider implementing zero population growth
instead of zero growth we could allow one child per couple in lieu of two and start reducing our population
Wiser and well known people have advocated for other life forms and the ecology long before me.
Peter Singer
Albert Schweitzer
John Newton (wrote Amazing Grace)
Irving Stowe and Dorothy Stowe, (founders of GreenPeace)

And there were movies
“The Day the Earth Stood Still” (re make)
And “Avatar’
“Let them eat cake”
a famous quote attributed to Marie-Antoinette, the queen of France during the French Revolution. As the story goes, it was the queen’s response upon being told that her starving peasant subjects had no bread.
Most people have this attitude and response to starving wild life.
e.g.
I am often told
“don’t feed the birds they have to find their own food”
People don’t realize that humans in western culture have destroyed the homes and food sources of all other life forms.
Our norms and attitudes are causing the extinction of all life.
In our culture we don’t share with one another; never mind other life forms.
Karl Marx who advocated sharing – communism – is seen as evil.
And please know China and other so called communist countries have “state capitalism” not communism.
(I wrote a paper on Karl Marx when I majored in sociology)
Some one told me not to go on about the ecology because there is nothing that they can do:
but they and you can:
Do what you can in the microcosm
Feed the birds even if your neighbours abuse you because they don’t want the noise and the poop.
Don’t chop down trees
Trees don’t light fires
humans do
Makes more sense to get rid of arsonists rather than trees
Google eco friendly homes and gardens for ideas:
Don’t use poisons:
Try your best to adhere to ahimsa
Don’t kill insects and mice etc
