In the 1970s those of us in Greenpeace were labelled dangerous and deviant
Those of us in Animal Liberation were ridiculed and abused
When women had no rights — could not have a bank account- buy an house –landlords would not rent to separated women – abuse wasn’t grounds for divorce – a married women couldn’t hold a government job— and we got 75 percent of a man’s wage
Those of us in Women’s Liberation were labelled trouble making lesbians (anyone not heterosexual was considered deviant in those days)
People were once put to death for not conforming to status quo
So instead of labelling those who do not conform to the status quo as deviant and what they say “conspiracy theories” respect their right to their opinion even if you disagree
NAMASTE

It is Mid Summer here = Litha
and Mid Winter – Yule in the northern hemisphere.

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
to those in the northern hemisphere

Blessed Litha
to those “down under”


This information is just to inform not undermine your spiritual beliefs :

Christmas was originally the pagan festival of Yule — Mid Winter — moved a few days: Every church festival was originally a pagan festival. The church of Rome incorporated them because they couldn’t get rid of same.
After the emperor Constantine made Christianity the religion of Rome there was a meeting at Niacea to decide what to put in the New Testament and what to leave out..
With a huge empire it was easier to control the masses with a religion. Hence the Inquisition to get rid of the Old Religion and the women healers who had– herbal remedies: contraception and abortion and replace the with men who used leeches and blood-letting: Couldn’t have contraception if you wanted to populate armies.
The Wheel of the Year is from my Book of Shadows:

Have a Merry Christmas: Blessed Yule: or Blessed Litha (Summer Solstice)
AND BE BLESSED
I have re blogged this many times
— Christmas/holiday season upsets me
I have stopped watching television but if I chromecast from same I see ads re eating parts of the corpses of animals that have been factory farmed and production line slaughtered or creatures that have been boiled alive
(I also object to using insect spray – so don’t like these ads either)
I have been vegetarian since the 1970s and when I was younger used to cook meat for my family but this century I have refused to cook meat

In South Australia in the 1970’s and 80’s vegetarians and vegans were not catered for.
There was a cafe on the corner of Hindmarsh Square and Rundle Street Adelaide, called “Carrots” :
one restaurant that catered for vegans
and a Lebanese restaurant that offered a vegetarian platter.
The only vegetarian food one could buy was by Sanitarium
which was, and am guessing still is, owned by the Seventh-day Adventist church.
(And very much appreciated — Thank you Seventh Day Adventists)
We were ridiculed and abused by those in pubs, restaurants and people generally.
I made my own burghers using lentils, vegetable and bread crumbs and at a surprise birthday party for my (now ex) husband all the carnivores were eating these:
not realizing they had no meat.
I didn’t insist my family were vegetarian
I would make a vegetarian dish to share
and also cook meat.
If I ate meat I would have night mares about being an animal in a slaughter house.
I object to factory farming and production line slaughter.
Of course the reason the setup is this way is there are way to many humans.


I didn’t want to eat meat as a child:
for refusing I received a bashing from my mother:
she threatened to have me put in a mental institution
and served me the same meal for breakfast lunch and tea until I ate it.
I have allowed myself to eat meat on a few occasions over the years usually because I was anaemic
The night mares return plus my digestive system doesn’t handle meat.
In this day and age when there are so many vegans, I never expected to be ridiculed but it has happened on several occasions.
I complimented one woman on having soy milk in her coffee and she abuse the hell out of me:
Said that she wasn’t vegan (which according to her is worse than leprosy ) she had soy milk because she liked it.
It is important to me that I am always honest so I must confess that sadly I have only been a part time vegan— but still vegetarian:
Hoping this time around I will stay vegan.
If I ate eggs I bought those produced locally as I have been to the farm where the chickens are and I would live where they live 😀


I cannot watch cooking shows:
Haven’t cooked meat for anyone since 1998
I am horrified that people think eating creature that is boiled alive is a treat.

A friend asked me why vegans avoid dairy :
I explained that the cows are kept continually pregnant:
the calves go to slaughter and their mothers know.
In my opinion the drug companies are worse than the meat industry.
In 1982 the husband of one of my staff asked me to report that suckie calves were left to die of dehydration & starvation.
I was told by someone who bought stock that
all new borns are just left to die that way.
In 1982 I reported what was told to me to the RSPCA who called me a liar and a trouble maker.
I put something inwriting but it was ignored.
Animal Liberation told me to write to my politician.
Nothing.
Years later an acquaintance who had worked in the abattoirs told me that the drug companies ask for this.
And my podiatrist (an animal activist) told me that the drug companies collect hormones from this type of death.
People just don’t want to know.
I JUST SAW THIS ON FACEBOOK — THIS IS ALSO MY OPINION
Namaste
and be kind to non humans

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 majored in sociology not literature
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)
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 8 billion.
Our cultural norms and the Protestant Ethic are causing the extinction of all life.
I wrote this as social satire and sympathetic magic
I realize my writing style doesn’t fit what people expect
My excuse –I majored in sociology not literature 😛
I wanted to put my idea that humans are not indigenous to the planet
A few lines from this short story:
“Most humans think that those who live in harmony with the environment are primitive and inferior. Actually they don’t think.
They just mindlessly conform to what those in power and their entertainment media tell them.
They are really stupid but consider themselves superior to all other life forms because they talk:
They think if something or someone doesn’t talk they don’t understand.
They thoughtlessly destroy everything. They call some creatures vermin, when humans are the vermin. They kill insects and destroy all the trees despite the fact that insects and trees are essential.
And everything literally goes down the drain polluting the oceans instead of nourishing other life.”
I wrote a blog entitled “Publicity” when I watched the first three episodes of Harry and Meghan
–this time I am spelling her name correctly 😛
I am the same age as King Charles (whom I don’t like) and I have never watched a soapie in my life
These days I don’t even watch television –just NETFLIX which my eldest granddaughter gave me
I watched this series because I already believed Meghan and Harry were being victimized
Although I cannot empathize with being famous I can sympathize with being a victim of abuse
I had an half a century of physical and mental abuse and some people would tell me their stories and say “But it was only mental abuse”
In my opinion mental abuse is worse!
What this couple have had to endure is horrific
Namaste
I love the meaning of this word
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.”
CREATIVE CONSCIOUSNESS MEDITATION
I recorded Creative Consciousness meditation earlier this century at the request of a psychic development group that I was running at the time.
TREE MEDITATION paraphrased from Mother Wit by Diane Mariechild —- it is a great book if you can find it.
Am sure you are better at finding things on Google etc than me 😛 — I couldn’t find it.
ASTRAL PROJECTION
Also from Mother Wit
Past life regression
I wrote this meditation — it has been successful when used in psychic development classes.
Clairvoyance is developed through practice:
my daughter suggested this book
I hope that it helps people

Namaste
I love the meaning of this word
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.”
In the 1970s I was asked by an acquaintance from teacher’s college to see if I could help a lady who thought her house was haunted
The house was haunted but by her own “thought forms”
This lady had been given an hysterectomy at age twelve without anaesthetic while in a concentration camp in the Second World War
In the 1970’s when I met her women still had no rights nor status
PTSD wasn’t acknowledged
(nor was PND)
So she got no support from the medical system who considered all women neurotic and having “penis envy” –as doctors were taught Freudian psychology
I thought of writing this in the early hours of the morning
When pain kept me awake and I was brooding about all the abuse and mistreatment I had suffered in my life
I appreciate the wisdom from DESIDERATA –“don’t compare yourself with others”
But sometimes it is as “reality check”
NAMASTE
When I was growing up the population of the whole of Australia was 9million
And the majority lived in the eastern states
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
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
Salisbury is now the suburb from hell
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

Namaste
I love the meaning of this word
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.”
I tried my best to practice ahimsa before I was aware of this word/concept
Impossible in a culture that believes only humans have a soul and only money matters
I Have fed the local birds ever since I moved here
Mindless automatons tell me
“Do not to feed the birds -they are meant to find their own food”
It doesn’t occur to them that the human plague (of 8 Billion) has destroyed the homes and food sources of all other life – making so many extinct.
I feed the crows too –one neighbour has complained about their noise
The other has told me that she likes the Ibis (that I feed) but not the crow.
Crows like many other life forms are disliked because of cultural programming
The crow I feed, feeds the baby before she? feeds herself
I wasn’t able to take a photo because the baby flies away when I walk outside – comes back when I go in.
Humans have this effect on me — have said I am anthrophobic for decades – don’t think it is an actual word)
I have always been a misfit in a culture –
Where sociopaths are successful
Psychopaths glorified
And it is necessary to be a mindless automaton to fit in.
Considering all the positive changes in my life time I am optimistic that
the caring, intelligent people will prevail and stop all life from becoming extinct.
Enjoy your day
