Oracles of a Petrified Planet  “Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he’s destroying is this God he’s worshiping.” ― Hubert Reeves

Yew Mysteries

  Great Yew of Glen Lyon at Fortingall in Perthshire, Scotland was a tiny green yew ‘acorn’, ‘apple’ then ‘nut’. Experts such as Alan Titchmarsh can now state it is 6,000 years old, Professor David Bellamy, even 9,000 years old. This living being was already ancient before the Great Pyramid was built (according to standard Egyptian chronology) at the centre of the Earth’s longest land contact meridians at Giza around 4.500 years ago. Fortingall is regarded as the geographical centre of Scotland. Once, in early Egyptian times, the Orion constellation was called the Tree of Life. Given the Orion star correlation theory of Robert Bauval et al and three pyramids’ layout at Giza, perhaps they symbolise the Tree of Life and, if so, are where the Tree of Life should be - in the centre of the ‘Garden’ of Earth. Osiris was deceptively laid in a hollow tree by his jealous brother and killed but after regeneration by Isis his wife, his face is coloured green. Some think this i...

That vibrations do in fact govern sound is confirmed by physics which teach us that sound originates when molecules begin to vibrate and trigger off a wave formed by sympathetic vibration of neighboring molecules.  Magic: An Occult Primer   David Conway

    Pluto Transit at The Observatory, 15 S Howard St, Spokane  Besides being an artist, I'm a detective investigating the collective unconsciousness.  Many of my paintings test the surrealistic method of automatic painting.  This trial employs the force of the subconscious to reveal images. Usually the expectation of creating a picture follows the gravitational pull from brain, to a sketch to the painting. These steps match and complete the artist's will in one magnetic stream.. however surrealism exercises a different kind of intention and will. Surrealism requires tuning into the dreaming brain like a radio that's receptive to lots of channels.  Our most religious and animistic part of the brain can be stimulated by treating any surface or background as if Rorschach spilled ink everywhere. Some found images will share the same space and time together, like a bird's head with a human body.  One has to keep an eye on their amygdala and the ...
