Summer Fun--Faery and Earth Festival, Saturday August 19, Thompson Park, Watertown, NY

I will be at the Faery and Earth Festival Saturday August 19th, at historic Thompson Park in Watertown NY.


I will be:

1. Giving a talk on Vortices, or Vortexes.
2. Leading Sacred Walks to explore the mysteries and delights of Mother Earth found at Thompson Park.
3. Book Signing, both Vortices and Spirals and Sacred Sites in North Star Country will be available for purchase.

It should be a fun day, There will be Entertainment (music, performers, dancers, a puppeteer)    Workshops and Vendors selling a variety of Earth, Faery and Pagan items and food vendors as well.

IN THE PAST ADMISSION HAS BEEN A FOOD DONATION. I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THIS YEAR

Thompson Park is included in Sacred Sites in North Star Country and has Fields of Consciousness. It is said that it has a mysterious vortex that acts like a time portal. 

A few years back the city put up a sign and designated Thompson Park an AREA 51 location. Evidently when the CIA took over Area 51 in Nevada they nicknamed it Watertown; because THE then head of the CIA Allan Dulles was from Watertown.

I am hoping to talk to Dea, the Druid about the location of the time portal. Over a decade ago at a talk I gave at Naturtyme in Syracuse several people told me that there where ghosts and much more at the park, particularly near the zoo. 

As you know my feelings on these matters(ghosts/aliens) is that they are generally indicative of special aspects of Mother Earth located at a particular place. I hope to get out and re-explore once I learn more about the location of the vortex. It should make for an interesting sacred walk(s.)

If you are making the drive and wanting to make a day of it, you should consider visiting Swami Vivekananda's Cottage in the Thousand Islands Park. It is about 40 minutes away. Visiting the place where this great mystic achieved Nirvikalpa Samadhi, the highest state of Samadhi, is annual pilgrimage. I strongly encourage you to visit. You just need to make sure the hours of operation--last year the cottage was open 10-12 and 4-6. It should be still open --but again you need to check before going--it usually closes a week, or two before Labor Day.

Here is my video of Swami Vivekananda Cottage in the Thousand Islands

Summer Fun--Peterboro Civil War Weekend, Author's Book Signing June 10/11

I will be joining other authors for a book signing (Sacred Sites in North Star Country) at the Peterboro Civil War Weekend.

Saturday June 10, 10AM to  5PM

Sunday   June 11, 10AM to 4PM

The 25th Annual Peterboro Civil War Weekend June 10 and 11 will feature the relationship of John Brown and Gerrit Smith who were determined to abolish slavery. 

Dr. Dann will describe the events leading up to Harpers Ferry in 1859. The catalyst that brought Smith to Brown’s attention was Smith’s endeavor to assure voting rights to black males by providing 40 acres of land to 3,000 African-Americans. This project in the Adirondacks came to be known as Timbuctoo, and after years of research the John Brown Lives organization has created a travelling exhibit Dreaming of Timbuctoo which will open in Peterboro for Civil War Weekend. Events will include a Civll War battle re-enactment.

Peterboro is located in northern Madison County not far from Cazenovia. It is home to the Gerrit Smith Estate and the Abolitionists Hall of Fame.

Directions: Take County Rte 28 from Cazenovia

Adults-$10
Children (6-12)-$5
Kids undure 6 Free

Authors of Regional History Books Present at 
Civil War Weekend

Authors of Civil War and regional history publications will assemble at the 25^th Annual Civil War Weekend on June 10 and 11, 2017 to exhibit, sell, and sign their publications, and to present on their research and writing.

June 10, opening day of the 25^th Annual Peterboro Civil War Weekend, will also be the first day of publication and release for A Final River to Cross: The Underground Railroad at Youngstown NY. Gretchen A. Duling PhD and Dennis C. Duling PhD are bringing their brand new book across the state to debut in Peterboro NY, an official site on the county, state, and national Underground Railroad trails. After years of research, the Dulings have provided a source book with extensive footnotes and bibliographies that add to the studies of trails of freedom in NYS – as well as accounts of fugitives and sites in that region.

Michael Keene returns to Peterboro with a new publication and MP3 audio book Vietnam Reflections: The Untold Story of the Holley Boys. These eight young soldiers from the small rural community of Holley were awarded 40 medals for combat and valor. Finally the story of these men is being told extensively and with sensitivity. Keene served two tours in Vietnam with the U.S. Marine corps. He is the author of six books about New York history, including The Psychic Highway: How the Erie Canal Changed America – a great read during this year of the Bicentennial of the beginning of the Erie. Keene is the producer of the award-winning historical documentary Visions, True Stories of Spiritualism, Secret Societies & Murder.

Jean Libby has researched John Brown - especially his family in California – for decades. She has searched for direct descendants of the Browns and brought them to the legacy cause. Such a great-granddaughter was Alice Keesey Mecoy who presented at Peterboro’s Living History several years ago. Libby searched for portraits of Brown and compiled a timeline of his images which was on exhibit at Harpers Ferry WV. Libby’s John Brown Photo Chronology provides a meaningful resource – especially at the event recognizing the Gerrit Smith-John Brown relationship and the Dreaming of Timbuctoo, and exhibit from John Brown Lives! The publication is available at the Peterboro Mercantile tent on the green and is available at mercantile.gerritsmith.org.

Neil MacMillan will be presenting at 4 pm on Saturday, June 10 on his newest book Haunted Onondaga County, but will also include his other two books Crossing the Line and There I’ll Be a Soldier. MacMillan has been studying and reenacting Civil War History for nearly three decades and turned to writing a few years ago. MacMillan is also the Captain of the 12^th US (Reenacting Unit) and has attended the Peterboro event for years for the weekend event and for Living History Day. He provides specialized programs during the event and has a good time engaging youth on history. Popular with his army colleagues and the public, MacMillan is a great story teller on the field and in his books.

A volunteer at the 2016 event, Mishell K. Magnusson returns this year to describe the locale of her 2012 publication Images of America: Madison and Hamilton and to explain the Town of Madison’s special location in the center of the state and its impact on the Civil War because of the Chenango Canal. The book is packed with photographs of the area in which Mishell has been a lifelong resident which she supports with her membership in organizations and as past president of the Madison County Historical Society. Mishell is the owner of KJM Consulting & Training, Inc. in Munnsville, New York.   In addition, Mishell has worked as an Adjunct Professor for Mohawk Valley Community College; Bryant & Stratton College; Madison/Oneida BOCES and State University of New York (SUNY) Oswego.

Frank Meredith will present on Being True to the History in Historical Fiction. Meredith’s The Unfinished Work is an historical fiction publication that includes forty rare illustrations and pictures, with maps by prominent Civil War cartographer Steven Stanley. Frank’s second publication The Battle of Gettysburg as Seen by Two Teens: The Stories of Tillie Pierce and Daniel Skelly is a non-fiction book which includes maps, photographs and full reprints of the dramatic eyewitness accounts of a 15-year old school girl and an 18-year-old store clerk. Meredith has been a Civil War buff since 1963, when as a nine-year-old boy he witnessed the 100th anniversary reenactment of the Battle of Hanover. Awarded a doctoral fellowship in conducting, Meredith has taught music at the pre-school through graduate school levels, and served on the New York State School Music Association executive board.

Ellen Mae Knapp Patch of Endwell NY inherited letters saved by her grieving grandmother during the Civil War. Patch transcribed, researched, and annotated the 59 letters, and the Broome County Historical Society published This from George: The Civil War Letters of Sergeant George Magusta Englis 1861-1865 Company K, 89^th New York Regiment of Volunteer Infantry known as the Dickinson Guard. The 288 page book is filled with pictures, charts, and maps that illuminate the Civil War soldier’s letters home. Patch is a graduate of SUNY Potsdam and a retired educator.

The Veteran in a New Field: A Civil War Mystery of the Irish Brigade is set in 1866, a pivotal year. Author W. H. Allen states, “It is a time remote to us now and yet it is still tangible to 21st Century Americans.” Allen knows his subject well: He served in the Marine Corps in Vietnam and in the 10^th Brigade of the NY Guard. With degrees in history and sociology he had a 42 year career in law enforcement and criminal justice, interviewed veterans for the Library of Congress, collected for exhibits in the NYS Military History Museum, was inducted into the NYS Senate Veterans Hall of Fame, and volunteers for Civil War programs – as he will do at Peterboro Civil War Living History Day. Bill returns to Peterboro after mounting an exhibit in years past at the event.

 Madis Senner’s recent publication Sacred Sites in North Star Country tells how the land influenced the dramatic social changes that took place in greater NYS that shaped the world. Senner, a money manager turned keeper, says “Upstate New York was the birthplace of the Women’s Movement and American Democracy, as well as the home to America’s Second Great Awakening. It has been called the Burned-over District for its spiritual wildfires and America’s Psychic Highway. It is a place where prophets walked, religions were born and great souls lived,” – including Gerrit Smith and Peterboro.

Jane Spellman retired as the Director of the Herkimer County Historical Society in 1995 having served since 1971. She attributes her love of history to her parents who were both lawyers and interested in the past. Spellman has written four books, and published twenty-two as editor. In preparing for Herkimer’s bicentennial Jane examined previous histories of her county. She discovered there was minimal inclusion of women and so commenced her research which led to Women Belong in History Books, 1700-1950 (Volumes 1 & 2).

 With degrees in mathematics and business administration, Sandra Weber’s career is now writing and presenting history from the Adirondacks. Weber has written many books for children and adults and does dramatic portrayals when she presents her books. She generously offered three presentations for the 2017 Peterboro Civil War Living History Day for area fifth graders. Breaking Trail: Remarkable Women of the Adirondacks was written with fellow author and performer Peggy Lynn after digging through archives and recovering pieces of women’s history. The book proclaims that “mountain women can be heroes” and describes the courage, intelligence, fortitude, and backcountry buffoonery to prove these heroes. Weber will also speak on the recently published A History of Adelaide Johnson’s Portrait Monument to Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony at the United States Capitol.

Authors’ exhibits are  in the Peterboro Mercantile tent just inside the Main Gate of Civil WarWeekend. Authors will provide thirty minute programs on their research, writing, and publications, and will sell and sign their books. Norman K. Dann’s books on Peterboro will be available at the Mercantile, and he can be found throughout the weekend managing the grounds of the event. Dann’s biography of Gerrit Smith addresses the Secret Six supporters of John Brown, and Dann will present on Gerrit Smith and John Brown at the Dreaming of Timbuctoo exhibit in The Barn at the Gerrit Smith Estate on Saturday morning June 10 at 11:00 am.

Also on display at the Mercantile will be a gift from Kris Richardson to the Civil War Weekend effort in memory of her son Todd Richardson whose hobby was Civil War History. The book Discovery in the Attic: A Family’s Shared Past Revealed is signed by the author Rosalie Rymarski.

 Special features of the 25^th Annual Peterboro Civil War Weekend are programs on women in the Civil War, the relationship of John Brown and Gerrit Smith, and Dreaming of Timbuctoo, an exhibit on Smith’s gifts of 40 acres of land to each of 3000 African-American men.  Admission of $10 for adults, $5 for ages 6-12, and Free for children under 6, includes eleven acres of the encampment, three museums, historical, military, and authors’ programs, an afternoon musical presentation, children’s activities, skirmishes, exhibits, displays, walking tours, and demonstration.

Cinnamon Hill State Forest Survey

I had a chance to visit Cinnamon Hill NYS DEC Forest which straddles Schuyler and Steuben counties last week. One of the DEC folks in Albany told me that there were stone mounds there. My hope was that some of them were ancient Indigenous sites marking out aspects of Mother Earth such as I have found at Hi Tor. There were many stone piles and remnants of old buildings, but no ancient ceremonial sites on aspects of Mother Earth. But I only scratched the surface of the area.

I did find what may be the remnants of a once Charged Ley Line. As I have been noting in my talks and in my YouTube video on Charged Ley Lines they are  found all over the place, particularly in the northeast.

Below are some of the pictures of what I found.

The picture above, and the closeup below, is of two stones on a Ley Line. Whether this was intentional or coincidental is difficult to determine. There are not many Ley Lines in the area and the area has been farmed and logged; so this would bode for it once being a Charged Ley Line.  But then again, there was no charge--or positive vibe left. Do the stones mark what was once a Charged Ley Line?

March for Science--Co-opts Earth Day

Imagine my chagrin when I learned that the scientific community decided to co-opt Earth Day Gatherings by holding a March for Science. How audacious for  the collective that is behind much of what ails Mother Earth to do this.

Thanks to science we have the capability to blow up the world with nuclear weapons and stockpiles of nuclear waste, they have created drilling technologies that have allowed us to extract all sorts of things and punctured and scarred Mother Earth, thanks to  petrochemicals we have  plastic bags that have formed large pools in our oceans, radio/TV/WiFi/and other rays are microwaving Mother Earth to death, we have GMO's, genetic engineering and cloning abilities, science has created digital technology that is addicting us, etc....As I have said many times, Technology Kills and Technology is science's Frankenstien.

Science is keen to point out the benefits of their discoveries such as antibiotics. But in the process they have created SuperBugs that are much worse. That is the problem with technology. the result of their cure, or benefit is ultimately outweighed by the price.

Something more nefarious may be at work. It is too early to tell.

It appears that the Nature Conservancy is the sponsoring organization behind the March for Science.
The Nature Conservancy is a sponsoring partner for the March for Science in Washington, D.C., to be held in partnership with the Earth Day Network, on Earth Day, April 22.

I refer you back to my post od 10.21/16  The Anthropocene Epoch and the Conquest of Mother Earth In it I talk about E O Wilson's new book Half Earth and the New Conservation movement.

Peter M. Kareiva a leading light of the "New Conservation Movement' who became chief scientist of the Nature Conservancy in 2014.  Describing him as "the leader of those that attack the existence of the wilderness...because there are no pristine areas left on Earth....regions occupied long ago should be opened up for management and profit according to Kareiva."page 77

Later in speaking of the Nature Conservancy he notes that biodiversity has faded and its now about what nature can do for people and the economy.  page 134

SO WE NEED TO WONDER IF THE MARCH OF SCIENCE CO-OPTING EARTH IS REALLY ABOUT TURNING THE ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT FROM FOCUSING ON SAVING MOTHER EARTH TO FINDING MORE AND IMPROVED WAYS TO EXPLOIT HER.

I strongly urge you to read about the New Conservation because it sure seems like they are against Tree Huggers such as myself, as represented by the Nature Conservancy's Perl Kareiva whom are trying to a upend things and turn the Environmental Movement into a movement to exploit. Do a Google search.

Soule critique of the New Conservation.

Earth Day Gathering at Peacemaker's Sanctuary at Onondaga Lake is CANCELLED

Cancelled-- Earth Day Celebration, Peacemaker's Sanctuary, Onondaga Lake 11AM Saturday, April 22


Our Earth Day celebration for this Saturday has been cancelled because the lake is still too flooded. While the water level has substantially receded, it is still too high. There is just not enough room to hold an event as the pictures below show.

What was worrisome was that the second bench was nowhere to be found. I secured the bench last fall. Debbie Dennis of Onondaga Lake Park told me that a do gooder had removed the moorings fearing that the bench would float away. Well, it appears his actions caused their fears to manifest as there is no bench and only the discarded robe. Where did it go?

The good news is that Debbie will look for it and find a replacement if need be. We are hoping to have a third bench put in some time this year. Please consider making a tax deductible donation so that we can buy even more benches and help other sacred places in the North Star Country.

JUBILEE INITIATIVE, 501 C-3, TAX DEDUCTIBLE-FOR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN, BUY PARK BENCHES, ETC.. Click to Donate.

We will be having more events, stay tuned.

Someone has moved the bench back from the lake and it is tipped at an angle in the overflow pipe. See the discarded rope in the lower right.

A tree has fallen over in the last few weeks on the left side as you face the lake.

Looking towards the large multi-limbed tree in which the old wooden bench rested in front of.

No wooden bench only lots of water.

Sacred Sites Update--Gossamer

I had a chance to visit Gossamer Wood last week. Bill Dewey is back from Florida and his family was there to help clean up and celebrate his 80th birthday. 
The place looked fine except in the back that had sustained some storm damage. The vibe was great.

Above is the new welcome circle we made last November. 

I did some Earth Healing at one area on the south side. One place in particular had picked up some negativity from people leaving behind spiritual debris from their cathartic experiences. See Picture above.

 If you get a chance to go for a walk in the woods check out the wet areas, the marsh marigolds are out.

Space The Final Frontier--Charged Ley Lines

I have gone back to posting on YouTube at MotherEarthPrayers after 5-6 years. I will be producing a series "Space the Final Frontier" that believes that the Final Frontier is within us and next to us and not in outer space, or with technology. The series will explore the mystical world, Mother Earth and how to raise your consciousness and our collective consciousness. 

The "Charged Ley Line" video is a condensed version of a presentation I gave to the Finger Lakes Dowsers on January 19, 2017. It tells about Ley Lines, Charged Ley Lines and concludes with a meditation. Meditating on a Ley Line significantly increases the benefits and experience of meditation and will not only charge the Ley Line, but the space around it. It is a powerful tool, for you to use and that can benefit all of humanity and Mother Earth as well. If we are going to make a better world and raise our collective consciousness it is critical we charge Ley Lines and get Mother Earth's architecture in proper working order. The video contains numerous pictures of Charged Lines and the ancient stone structure that mark them and help retain their charge. 

It should be noted that my talk at the ASD conference in Saratoga Springs Sunday (June 18) is titled Space the Final Frontier. I will also be leading group meditation on Ley Lines Lunch time and Dinner time at the conference; so you can help charge a Ley Line and purify and empower Mother Earth.


Space The Final Frontier--Charged Ley Lines

Technology Kills--Human Implants, Are Cyborgs not far behind?

It seems that the intrusion of technology upon our lives continues to grow each day. CBS catalogued another encroachment (Control) today with a feature on human implants. Technology Kills.

We live in a sea of consciousness. Everything from objects, to words, to concepts, to form and movement and more is merely consciousness. It is the interplay of consciousness that creates the material world.

The sea of consciousness is filled with our thoughts. And thoughts exhibit certain behavior and patterns. Our thoughts look to grow and get stronger by having us think about them, dwell on them; think of an ear worm and a song you cannot get out of your mind. Basically thoughts look to control and manipulate us. (See my Power of Thoughts)

Our thoughts also morph and become something more over time, like the human body and all of life they grow and get stronger. The Bhagavad-gita describes how thoughts morph, grow and mutate:

"While contemplating on the objects of the senses, one develops attachment to them. Attachment leads to desire, and from desire arises anger." 2.62

Technology as I noted in The Way Home is a thought form that has been mutating and morphing for millennia and like all thought forms it looks to control  and manipulate us. So what looks like a simple and innocuous effort to implant small chips to better help us perform our jobs, or supposedly make life easier becomes something else. Something bigger and much more insidious. Are cyborgs not far behind?

TECHNOLOGY KILLS

Interview with Mason Winfield

I came across this interview I did two years ago. You might find it interesting.
Interview with Mason Winfield from the Twilight on the Western Door.

Mason Winfield is an author, historian and paranormal investigator. He was early on in the paranormal phenomenon--only his focus is on historical aspects of home, place and people. 

Technology Kills--Brain Hacking

More information keeps coming out about the dangers of technology and how it looks to control you. 60 Minutes did a segment titled Brain Hacking on how cell phone manufacturers are working hard to increase your natural predilection, or access to your phone.

Cell phones are also very damaging to Mother Earth.

Onondaga Lake Flooded

Rain and snow melt have flooded Onondaga Lake. Below is a picture of one of that benches at the Peacemaker's Sanctuary of Onondaga Lake. I have never seen the water this high there. But I don't visit weekly.

Let's hope it recedes before our Earth Day Event, otherwise we will have to change times and move it. Thanks to Debbie Dennis of Onondaga Lake Park for the photo.

Earth Day Celebration, Peacemaker's Sanctuary, Onondaga Lake 11AM

What:   Earth Day Celebration
             Water Ceremony (followed by) 
             Group Meditation

When:  Saturday, April 22
             11 AM
Where: Peacemaker's Sanctuary at
             Onondaga Lake Park
                 
Bring a chair or cushion to sit on.

Join us as we give thanks to and connect with our Mother and in the process strengthen and heal Her.

A water ceremony where we pass around a container of water from Onondaga Lake and reintroduce it back is meant to heal the water. Particularly important given Onondaga Lake was once considered the most polluted lake in America. Masaru Emoto showed us the power that human intention can have on water. 

A group meditation connects us to each other and Mother Earth. It also strengthens the powerful imprints at this sacred place. Critically important because this further charges the Ley Lines that originate from Onondaga Lake,  better empowering  them for their journey around the world.


Bring a chair, or cushion to sit on.

Please contact me if you are interested in being a greeter and welcoming and smudging people before they enter the sacred space the day off.

Please contact me if you are interested in helping clean up and do some Earth Healing in prepping the Peacemaker's Sanctuary beforehand.

Location of the Peacemaker's Sanctuary: Here is an older maps of the park and the location on the West Shore Trail. Please note that the Long Branch Bridge at the time of this post was closed for repairs.

Directions: To get to the Peacemaker’s Sanctuary take Rt. 690 to State Fair Blvd, head towards Syracuse on State Fair Blvd. Take a left onto Beach Street, Empower Credit is on the corner. Follow to end park on grass. 

Cross RR tracks and bear right and cross the bridge over Rt. 690. Take a left onto the gravel path. Within a 100 feet the dirt path will merge with an asphalt path from the right. Continue straight. Look for the first set of benches on your right 200-300 feet-this is the place.

The closest bench will say ‘Peacemaker’s Sanctuary’.

Make sure to bring a chair, or cushion to sit on.
