“And make no mistake we are choosing to abandon the world that takes away our choices and steals our skills.” In her blog, “Wordcraft & Musing on Home & Hope,” Eliza Daley shared her thoughts on the Harvest Festival and Lugh’s Blessing, here. “We are too much enamored of the tools we’ve made. We believe…

How connected are you to the natural world? Try a little experiment. Draw a honeybee, and then go find one (or a photo of one) and see how closely what you drew resembles the real thing. Does a honeybee have two wings or four? Is it slim-waisted or thick-waisted? Is it yellow or brown? Is…

These are the times we live in, when the mass culture’s directives need weeding, and purification.   When planting herbs, we carefully place organic fertilizer in the chosen spot. Weeds move in, competing for nutrients and sunlight. Without proper tending, they will take over everything. To Everything There is a Season Today was a good…

On July 31, MSN reported, “Simone Biles out of two events – Simone Biles will not take part in the vault and uneven bars event finals as she continues to battle the “twisties.”  Biles “‘will continue to be evaluated daily to determine whether to compete in the finals for floor exercise and balance beam,’” USA…

The beginning of August offers observance of the Harvest Festival. Yet most of those living in “modern” societies aren’t aware of the significance this time of year holds. Industrialization brought many innovations.  But along the way, humans have lost their understanding of the natural order of the world. Increasingly, many believe that 5G and the…

The Astronomical Society of Edinburgh recently hosted Losing the Sky. “Thousands of satellites are now being launched into Low Earth Orbit in ‘mega-constellations’ to give us high speed internet from space, with the prospect of tens of thousands more, as competition heats up. But many astronomers are furious, as the satellites streak brightly across their…

The Independence of New Hampshire’s Elected Officials = Not Technocracy or Corporatocracy, Yet In our previous article about New Hampshire’s independence, critical thought, and discernment, regarding both the Northern Pass project and 5G, we mentioned that NH Legislators are not career politicians, and only receive a small stipend for their service. In fact, according to…

Did you hear the one about Northern Pass?  About using New Hampshire as a highway to bring electricity from Canada’s dams down to Massachusetts (while promoting hydroelectric as “green”)? If you don’t live in the Northeast, you might not be familiar with the Northern Pass debacle. Sugar Hill Historical Museum archived materials produced in opposition…

If the goal of “Connected Cowes” is to promote sailing, $2,292,155.96 U.S. could have bought a lot of sailboats and sailing lessons for individuals who will never afford a 5G phone or data plan. 5G and the Industry Search for a 5G Market – Connected Cowes Cowes Week is one of the UK’s longest running…

Fire Water Swimming has always been my go-to stress reliever, and favorite sport. Although not as adventuresome as those engaged in “wild swimming,” I have visited pools and swimming holes around the world, in many countries. For years, whenever I visited a new destination, for whatever reason, I would stay near a YMCA or other…
