Today's Guardian had a good yearend review of the Climate Crisis. One of the writers Dom Phillips was murdered along with indigenous activist Bruno Periera in Brazil's Amazon this past year. Here is a link:
Environmental review of 2022: another mile on the ‘highway to climate hell’
Today is the shortest day of the year. It is a time to rejoice and celebrate that a new cycle is beginning. Go outside and experience the wonder of our Mother (Earth) and give Her thanks for the bounty She has provided.
While the days will begin to get longer, the coldest and darkest days are ahead of us. Use this time to reflect and nourish your soul, understanding that our Mother's circadian rhythms provide an opportunity to better connect with Her, as well as others who have ridden this cycle over the ages.
Ponder deeply so that when spring comes the world will see a new and better you.
For the last few years I have been talking about the risks posed by solar storms (http://motherearthprayers.blogspot.com/2021/10/powerful-solar-flare-to-hit-earth.htm) to the Earth on this blog. Recently this has become a hot topic on the Internet, and YouTube in particular. Unfortunately, a lot of these articles are sensationalist and over the top in predicting the hardship it would bring us. Indeed they could devastate our electrical grid and lead to massive losses of life--but not every solar storm is an enormous threat.
Solar Activity has an eleven year cycle where it peaks and declines and begins rising again. Out current solar cycle will peak in 2025.
Today I read a very even-handed and sobering analysis of the threat posed by solar storms from an astrophysicist. It includes a discussion of the Carrington event in 1859 when our telegraphic systems were fried and northern lights were seen as far south as Cuba. I have included a link to a YouTube video on the Carrington Event below.

It was twenty years ago, the Friday after Thanksgiving (November 29, 2002), that twenty-five to thirty of us gathered to consecreate the Peacemaker's Sanctuary on Onondaga Lake. it was a cold and snowy day. Fortunately the wind and snow subsided by the time we held our ceremony.
A lot has happened since then. Many of us have had epiphanies, found resolutions to our dilemmas, found peace, gotten insights as well as answers to our questions, had mystical experiences and more at this holy place. Being blissed out has always been a given when you are there.
We have held numerous ceremonies, group meditations, beared witness to tragedies. Gathered for healings. And just gathered to be.
It truly has been a wonderful refuge and communal space for some of us. I hope that our numbers continue to grow and it becomes the community resource I envisioned twenty years ago; a sanctuary to come to in a time of need, a place to go to seeking answers, or seeking healing. A sanctuary, as well as a place of joy.
My Visit Today
I went to the Peacemaker's Sanctuary today. It was cold and rainy day. The water level of the lake was average, although water was running quite briskly in the overrun stream.
More importantly I found, the vibe was still very positive to extremely positive. The four Energy Vortices were still intact, as well as numerous blind springs and Geospirals (the equivalent of Energy Vortex, only it is in the Earth below). SWEET!. Very Nice.
This truly is the holiest place in the world--given the Fields of Consciousness, the number of Energy Vortices and Geospirals, and that Vibe, Oh, that Vibe. Incredible.
As Keeper I am finding the the places I watch over are being decimated by electropollution that is snuffing out the vibe and Energy Vortices of the places I take care of.
This is one to the few places left in the world where you can still experience Energy Vortices firsthand.

According to the United Nation World Population Prospects 2022 world population reached 8 billion today. This is not a good thing, it means we will be putting more pressure on Mother Earth because there are more of us. Add overconsumption and it is not surprising we have an environmental crisis--more people consuming, polluting...
As challenging as it will be to feed, house and take care of everyone the larger concern is the inherent conflict/war continued population growth poses. According to many we are facing a food crisis because of war in Ukraine, a reduction farmland and more mouths to feed. The World Food Programme says we are facing hunger crisis of unprecedented proportions
The World Wildlife Fund estimates 1.1 billion people around the world lack access to water. The drought in the America's west these past few years highlights our problem. How water shortages are brewing wars - BBC Futurehttps://www.bbc.com › future › article › 20210816-ho...
We already see the conflict that Climate Migration is causing around the world. America is being flooded with people crossing its southern border fleeing climate change in their home countries. This is creating internal conflict within America. Governors in southern states have begun packing people in buses and sending them north. While talking heads gin us up over the issue.
More people consuming more will create conflict.
Another report came out recently presaging the dangers to the Atlantic currents that transport warm tropical warm water from the gulf and tropical regions to the North Atlantic Ocean; and the cold weather from the North Atlantic to the tropics and the gulf.
These currents help regulate climate for a large portion of the world. It is the reason the England feels balmy while London has the same latitude as southern Alaska.
The breakdown of the North Atlantic currents such as the Gulf Stream would have devsstating consequences for places like England and Scandinavia. It would also set off a cascading effect around the world throwing everything off kilter.
Below is an image of the Gulf Stream courtesy of NOAA. And below that a video.
