Clubmoss: Nature’s Radiation Therapy by Thea Summer Deer

My priestess~sister is describing a hiking journey through our nature trail here at Isis Cove Community called Lily’s Trail, named for my little shamanic girl-dog, who died @ 5 years ago. This trail is as beautiful as Thea describes. I gathered some club moss today and will make a pillow of it soon.

Blessings on your day,

Anyaa

The trail I am following runs parallel to a trickling creek. It leads straight up the hilly cove beneath a canopy of hardwoods and is named the Lily trail. Not named after the fragrant flower but in the memory of a little dog whose name was Lily, a Scottish Cairn Terrier who lived with a friend of mine in this hidden cove.

Alongside the Lily Trail there are statuettes of gnomes, elves, fairies and even one of Lily tucked among the ivy and medicinal plants. The trail was lovingly constructed with wee bridges that cross a spring fed creek. There is even the occasional bench for resting and listening to the sounds of nature and running water. Crystals, mobiles, wind chimes and sun chasers dance from various branches at regular intervals along this magical trail.

I walked this trail among the woodland flowers, medicinal plants and wild edibles frequently when I lived here in a community affectionately known as “The Cove.” It was here that I noticed the fuzzy, rich green plant known as clubmoss. Club-like it grows in abundance alongside the trail because it likes the moist banks above the creek. I had yet to discover its medicinal value. That discovery began quite unexpectedly when a gardener friend handed me, Healing Through God’s Pharmacy, by Maria Treben. My friend is from England and while she is not an herbalist she grows and uses herbs in the Western European Herbal Tradition for herself and her family.

I quickly flipped through the pages of the book and judged it as being archaic and outdated. I thought surely our current research and understanding of the phytochemistry and active constituents of plants had surpassed the simplicity of this book. So, I thanked my friend and handed it back.

Several months later while house sitting for this very same friend I saw the book on her bookshelf and thought, what the heck. So I picked it up and randomly opened to a page describing the moss-like evergreen commonly known as clubmoss. I recognized it immediately as the same plant I had seen in The Cove. Later, I learned that this book has been translated into 24 languages and has sold over 8 million copies even though I had never heard of it.

I was surprised by what I found there. Published in the 1980’s it wasn’t as old as I had thought even though the information contained within it was. Maria Treben was an amazing herbalist. She was a pioneer of the renewed interest in natural remedies and traditional medicine at the end of the 20^th century. This book was a treasure.

Maria used traditional German/Eastern European remedies handed down by previous generations. These consisted of using only local herbs and diet to successfully treat a wide range of conditions. She used clubmoss to treat cirrhosis, inflammation, and malignancies of the liver. My English friend had been living and suffering with Hepatitis C for decades. I got very excited to think that this might actually be a useful plant for her. So off to The Cove I went to gather clubmoss.

When gathering a plant for medicine I never take more than is needed and always leave an offering. This could be something as simple as a breath given in gratitude, or a hair plucked from my head. In the Native American tradition it is common to leave tobacco or corn meal. Anyone born on American soil is a Native American. So, kneeling down on the soft duff of the forest floor, I offered some hair, knowing that the plant would read my intention and my DNA. Then I gently lifted its trailers with hair like roots from its bed. Mosses have no roots, but this plant I learned is no moss at all. It is an archaic plant over 300 million years old. Club mosses were the dominant land plants during the Carboniferous period and related (as in cousins) to the firs and conifers. Perhaps this partially explains the “archaic” feeling I had when first introduced to Maria’s book.

The second time I was called to harvest clubmoss at the The Cove was for a South African friend. Her name was Mathabo and she was a beautiful young woman whose work included teaching women in her village how to become more self-empowered. I was contacted when she began suffering with severe swelling and pain in her liver, most likely from something she had picked up in the drinking water. By the time I was notified and able to gather the clubmoss, it was too late. She had passed away. I was deeply grieved by the loss of this young one. She lacked money for proper medical care and I will always wonder if there was something more that could have been done for her. It is this desire to help alleviate suffering that keeps me walking the trails, talking to the plants and doing the research.

The botanical name for clubmoss is Lycopodium clavatum. The genus name Lycopodium means “wolf’s foot” and clavatum is a Latin word meaning club-like. It is no accident that I discovered Wolf’s Foot growing extensively in The Cove, a community based on the teachings of Seneca Wolf Clan elder, Grandmother Twylah Nitsch. How appropriate to find this medicine named for its resemblance to a wolf’s foot growing so abundantly in a wolf clan community.

Clubmoss is a spore bearing plant that grows mostly prostate along the ground with vertical stems up to 3-4 inches high. Hundreds of millions of years ago the ancient earth contained vast forests filled with giant club mosses. They grew to a hundred feet in height and such primeval forests dominated the landscape of earth millions of years before man even appeared. The remains of these giants in their petrified form constitute the fossil fuels of today.

The four-year-old plants develop a yellowish spore cone whose pollen is high in sulfur and called lycopodium powder. The powder’s highly flammable when mixed in high enough density with air and was used historically as flash powder in early photography. It was also used explosively in fireworks, theatrical special effects and the magic arts. This magical plant that had caught my attention on a magical trail, in a magical cove fully warranted further investigation.

The use of lycopodium powder from the dry spores of clubmoss doesn’t stop with its highly flammable uses. It was also used in baby powders, fingerprint powders and as a lubricating dust on latex condoms and medical gloves. In physics the powder is used to make sound waves in air visible for observation and measurement, as well as to make an electrostatic charge visible. The powder is highly hydrophobic; if the surface of a cup of water is coated with the powder and you stick your finger straight in, it will come out dusted with the powder and completely dry. In 1807 inventors used lycopodium in the fuel of the first internal combustion engine.

While I had long been aware of Lycopodium as a homeopathic remedy, I had not connected it to this plant. Homeopathic Lycopodium is made from the crushed spores and is a remedy used for digestive failure, deep-seated and progressive chronic diseases, liver disease, and carcinoma. This herb has been used medicinally since the Middle Ages and Homeopathic Lycopodium is presently the most widely used form of this plant.

In the Western European Herbal Tradition, clubmoss was used for treating kidney and bladder related conditions. The whole plant was dried, chopped and prepared as an herbal tea. It is a potent anti-spasmodic, sedative and diuretic which makes it useful for treating kidney stones.

As I followed the trail in search of more information on Lycopodium I discovered that it is endangered in many areas and protected in certain states. It is considered as critically endangered in Luxembourg and in the past few decades even considered to be extinct. Some of the reasons cited included; threatened by logging, herbicide application, road construction and maintenance, and extirpation.

This threw up a huge red flag for me. If this plant was imperiled in the Appalachians, why was there so much of it growing in The Cove? What began to emerge connected back to Maria Treben’s book on the healing powers of Lycopodium.

Maria Treben points out that what makes clubmoss such an important ally in treating cirrhosis and liver cancer is that it contains radium. Plants absorb radium from the soil and clubmoss concentrates it. Radium occurs at low levels in virtually all rock, soil, water, plants and animals.

Radon is a radioactive colorless gas that occurs naturally as the decay product of radium. It is in lethal abundance here in Western North Carolina due to our mountain top removals. The Environmental Protection Agency shows a clear link between lung cancer and high concentrations of radon with radon induced lung cancer deaths second only to cigarette smoking. I knew of such a mountain top removal project less than two miles from The Cove. Where exactly was this wolf’s foot leading me? Could the abundance of Lycopodium be in response to the increase of radon: Radon that was being released into the atmosphere from the nearby mountain top removal? Was it helping to bio-remediate the radon? If Lycopodium concentrates radium, what is its relationship to radon? I have not been able to find any information or sources on this subject. Clearly more research is needed.

Marie and Pierre Curie discovered radium in 1898. Marie was the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize in 1911. She was awarded the Nobel Prize for isolating radium, discovering another element, polonium, and her research into the new phenomenon of radioactivity, a word she coined herself.

Once upon a time radium was manufactured synthetically in the US around 1910 and ended up in a lot of products for its purported magical healing properties. Some examples of those products are; chocolate, toothpaste, cosmetics, suppositories, heating pads, wax rods inserted in the urethra to treat impotence, radium water that would cure any number of ailments, and clocks, watches and toys. Needless to say radium got a bad name. Especially when overexposed people started showing up with radiation sickness.

We live on a radioactive planet and it is well known that if we are exposed to too much or too little radiation, we get sick. Low-dose radiation is documented to be beneficial for human health, but for political reasons, radiation is assumed harmful at any dose. Low-dose radiation has been shown to enhance biological functions with no adverse affects. There are even radium hotsprings where people go to soak for health benefits.

Radon is the single largest contributor to our background radiation dose and is responsible for the majority of the public’s exposure to ionizing radiation. Radon is formed as part of the normal radioactive decay chain of uranium. Uranium has been present since the earth was formed. High concentrations of radium exist in water and air especially near uranium mines. Plants absorb radium from the soil and animals that eat these plants accumulate radium. It may also concentrate in fish and magnify up the food chain. Uranium, radium and thus radon, will continue to occur for millions of years at about the same concentrations as they do now except that levels of Radon have increased due to burning coal and other fuels and now mountain top removal. Long-term exposure can lead to cancer and birth defects usually caused by gamma radiation of radium, which is able to travel long distances through air. How paradoxical that radium gas extracted from uranium ore is used for cancer treatment.

Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive element in the environment and little information is available on the acute (short-term) non-cancer effects in humans. Radium exposure has resulted in acute leukopenia, anemia, necrosis of the jaw, and other effects. Cancer is the major effect of concern. Radium, via oral exposure, is known to cause bone, head, and nasal passage tumors in humans. The US Environmental Protection Agency has not classified radium for carcinogenicity.

According to James Muckerheide in a paper presented at the 8^th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering in 2000, he stated:

“Low-dose radiation has been shown to enhance biological responses for immune systems, enzymatic repair, physiological functions, and the removal of cellular damage, including prevention and removal of cancers and other diseases. Research on low-level radiation has also shown it to have no adverse effects. Yet, current radiation protection policy and practice fail to consider these valid data, instead relying on data that are poor, ambiguous, misrepresented, and manipulated.”

Wolf in the Seneca tradition is the pathfinder, the forerunner of new ideas who returns to the clan to teach and share medicine. It is in this tradition that that I share my theory with you about Lycopodium clavatum, also known as clubmoss or wolf’s foot.

“Wolf medicine empowers the teacher within us all to come forth and aid the children of Earth in understanding the Great Mystery and life.” — from Wolf, Chapter 15, Medicine Cards by Sams & Carson.

It is my belief that clubmoss made into a pillow and used as recommended by Maria Treben helps to recalibrate and restore the body to it’s natural radioactive frequency in harmony with the Earth. This is Earth-Spirit Medicine, an exciting field of herbal medicine that has appeared on the horizon. We vibrate at a specific frequency creating a resonance and emitting an electrical signal, not unlike those commonly used to keep track of time or to transmit and receive radio signals. The signals that we transmit and receive are part of a grid system that creates a circuit around our crystalline structure. This crystalline structure is a part or our Earth and our physical bodies.

“Not really new at all, Earth-Spirit Medicine is being rediscovered at the same time it is evolving to meet our current physical and spiritual needs.” — From Wisdom of the Plant Devas, by Thea Summer Deer

We know that if we are exposed to too little or too much radiation we get sick. When correctly calibrated our cellular structure is restored. I believe that clubmoss restores us to the proper radioactive frequencies. Radio waves, microwaves, EMF’s and all manner of invisible polluting frequencies are bombarding us. If we paid closer attention to the qualities of vibrancy and life-force energy, how different would the choices be that we make with regard to what surrounds us or goes into our bodies? How much closer and in harmony would we be to the frequency of the Earth that heals us and the spirits of the plants that restore us and from which we are made?

How to use clubmoss:

Actions: anti-spasmodic, sedative and diuretic

Dosages of different preparations made from the club moss differ and depend on the client.

Clubmoss pillows can be made by filling a small cotton pillowcase with the clubmoss and then placing over the liver and/or under your pillow while you sleep. This will remain active for up to one year and can greatly help as an anti-spasmodic while recalibrating.

Infusion: Simmer 1 ounce of small cut up pieces of the plant (make sure you have a positive identification of Lycopodium clavatum) in one quart of water. Drink one cup per day sipping throughout the day.

Tea: 1 teaspoon per 2 cups of boiling water poured over, steep for ten minutes and drink 2 cups per day on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning.

Homeopathic Lycopodium remedy as directed by your practitioner.

Chinese Medicine: Shen Jin Cao, Property: slightly bitter, pungent, warm; liver, spleen and kidney (Wood, Earth, Water). Action: dispels dampness (Wind), soothes tendons. Indications: weakness and numbness of limbs; traumatic injury. Dosage for topical application is 3-12 grams, used in decoction.

Disclaimer: This blog post does not intend to diagnose or treat. Please seek the advise of a licensed practitioner in your area for any medical related issues. I welcome discussion and feedback, which is critical to ongoing and future research. Please do not ask me to comment beyond the contents or scope of this blog post.

Note: There is another type of clubmoss in the same Lycopodiaceae family growing in the Southern Appalachians and is Appalachian fir-moss, Huperzia appalachiana. Unlike many of the Lycopodium it likes well drained rather than moist soils, direct sunlight and doesn’t creep about over the ground. Appalachian fire-moss is considered imperiled and rare in North Carolina making it vulnerable to extirpation.

Callanish, the Sacred Feminine and the New Earth: On the Grand Cross of 2014 by Anyaa McAndrew

When we know about the sacred timings, and choose to participate in them, we have the capacity to influence the outcome of things. Events are not pre-determined. Consciousness is what the Universe is made of, so as we add our own conscious intent to the great forces at play, there is the possibility that we just might help move events along in a direction that we want them to go. In this case, our direction and intent on our trip to Scotland was to re-connect land and sky, soul and spirit, masculine and feminine as it once was in pre-patriarchal, pre-Celtic, Neolithic times.

Indigenous Elders and Medicine Peoples Council Statement on Fukushima

View the original statement with signatures here (PDF): COUNCIL_FUKUSHIMA_STATEMENT_OCT_2013.

This statement reflects the wisdom of the Spiritual People of the Earth, of North and South America, working in unity to restore peace, harmony and balance for our collective future and for all living beings. This statement is written in black and white with a foreign language that is not our own and does not convey the full depth of our concerns.

The Creator created the People of the Earth into the Land at the beginning of Creation and gave us a way of life. This way of life has been passed down generation-to-generation since the beginning. We have not honored this way of life through our own actions and we must live these original instructions in order to restore universal balance and harmony. We are a part of Creation; thus, if we break the Laws of Creation, we destroy ourselves.

We, the Original Caretakers of Mother Earth, have no choice but to follow and uphold the Original Instructions, which sustains the continuity of Life. We recognize our umbilical connection to Mother Earth and understand that she is the source of life, not a resource to be exploited. We speak on behalf of all Creation today, to communicate an urgent message that man has gone too far, placing us in the state of survival. We warned that one day you would not be able to control what you have created. That day is here.

Not heeding warnings from both Nature and the People of the Earth keeps us on the path of self destruction. This self destructive path has led to the Fukushima nuclear crisis, Gulf oil spill, tar sands devastation, pipeline failures, impacts of carbon dioxide emissions and the destruction of ground water through hydraulic fracking, just to name a few. In addition, these activities and development continue to cause the deterioration and destruction of sacred places and sacred waters that are vital for Life.

Powerful technologies are out of control and are threatening the future of all life. The Fukushima nuclear crisis alone is a threat to the future of humanity. Yet, our concern goes far beyond this single threat. Our concern is with the cumulative and compounding devastation that is being wrought by the actions of human beings around the world. It is the combination of resource extraction, genetically modified organisms, moral failures, pollution, introduction of invasive species and much much more that are threatening the future of life on Earth.

The compounding of bad decisions and their corresponding actions are extremely short-sighted. They do not consider the future generations and they do not respect or honor the Creator’s Natural Law. We strongly urge for the governmental authorities to respond with an open invitation to work and consult with us to solve the world’s problems, without war. We must stop waging war against Mother Earth, and ourselves.

We acknowledge that all of these devastating actions originated in human beings who are living without regard for the Earth as the source of life. They have strayed from the Original Instructions by casting aside the Creator’s Natural Law. It is now critical for humanity to acknowledge that we have created a path to self destruction. We must restore the Original Instructions in our lives to halt this devastation.

The sanctity of the Original Instructions has been violated. As a result, the Spiritual People of the Earth were called ceremonially to come together at the home of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe Bundle. These Spiritual Leaders and those that carry great responsibility for their people from both North and South America came together with the sacred fire for four days at the end of September 2013 to fulfill their sacred responsibilities. During this time it was revealed that the spirit of destruction gained its’ strength by our spiritually disconnected actions. We are all responsible in varying degrees for calling forth this spirit of destruction, thus we are all bound to begin restoring what we have damaged by helping one another recover our sacred responsibility to the Earth. We, the Original Caretakers of Mother Earth, offer our spiritual insight, wisdom and vision to the global community to help guide the actions needed to overcome the current threats to all life.

We only have to look at our own bodies to recognize the sacred purpose of water on Mother Earth. We respect and honor our spiritual relationship with the lifeblood of Mother Earth. One does not sell or contaminate their mother’s blood. These capitalistic actions must stop and we must recover our sacred relationship with the Spirit of Water.

The People of the Earth understand that the Fukushima nuclear crisis continues to threaten the future of all life. We understand the full implications of this crisis even with the suppression of information and the filtering of truth by the corporate owned media and Nation States. We strongly urge the media, corporations and Nation States to acknowledge and convey the true facts that threaten us, so that the international community may work together to resolve this crisis, based on the foundation of Truth.

We urge the international community, government of Japan and TEPCO to unify efforts to stabilize and re-mediate the nuclear threat posed at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. To ensure that the Japanese government and TEPCO are supported with qualified personnel and information, we urge the inclusion of today’s nuclear experts from around the world to collaborate, advise and provide technical assistance to prevent further radioactive contamination or worse, a nuclear explosion that may have
apocalyptic consequences.

The foundation for peace will be strengthened by restoring the Original Instructions in ourselves.

Prophecies have been shared and sacred instructions were given. We, the People of the Earth, were instructed that the original wisdom must be shared again when imbalance and disharmony are upon Mother Earth. In 1994 the sacred white buffalo, the giver of the sacred pipe, returned to the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota people bringing forth the sacred message that the winds of change are here. Since that time many more messengers in the form of white animals have come, telling us to wake up my children. It is time. So listen for the sacred instruction.

All Life is sacred. We come into Life as sacred beings. When we abuse the sacredness of Life we affect all Creation. We urge all Nations and human beings around the world to work with us, the Original Caretakers of Mother Earth, to restore the Original Instructions and uphold the Creator’s Natural Law as a foundation for all decision making, from this point forward.

Our collective future as human beings is in our hands, we must address the Fukushima nuclear crisis and all actions that may violate the Creator’s Natural Law. We have reached the crossroads of life and the end of our existence. We will avert this potentially catastrophic nuclear disaster by coming together with good minds and prayer as a global
community of all faiths.

We are the People of the Earth united under the Creator’s Law with a sacred covenant to protect and a responsibility to extend Life for all future generations. We are expressing deep concern for our shared future and urge everyone to awaken spiritually. We must work in unity to help Mother Earth heal so that she can bring back balance and harmony for all her children.

The Simple, Startling Story of the Shift – Part 1 By Jim Self

Let me tell you a story about the Shift that is upon us.

It is a story of science, astrology, astronomy, magnetism and gamma radiation… and by just saying that I may have already lost three quarters of you.

But I urge you to read on, because this story is vital to your well being at this moment. In fact, what this story describes is the most important consideration of your life right now, and of your lifetime. It affects everything about you, the planet, and everyone around you.

But before we begin the story, I am going to ask you to change how you hear information and allow it to come to you. This is actually a skill set. First, would you make a decision to be curious? Next, would you make a decision to be interested?

Even though you don’t know where this story is going, and it may not be to a place that many of you naturally go, maybe, just maybe, could you be interested and curious?

Let me stoke that curiosity and interest by telling you the conclusion of the story before we even begin it.

Here’s the punch line: What you think, and how you choose to hold and direct your emotions, can and will directly influence how the Earth will change during this Shift, and where it will change.

We cannot stop the Shift. It is fully in motion and cannot be stopped. But even the weakest among us, if there were such a one, has the capacity to influence everything that is about to unfold right before us.

Let’s begin the story at the Summer Solstice last June, when events in the solar system, on the planet, and in the Shift began to quite literally heat up.

The Summer Solstice triggered a cascade of intense cosmic and planetary events and phenomenon that will continue right on through the end of this year, and beyond.

In July and August, there was a lunar eclipse, a solar eclipse, and a rare planetary alignment called the Great Cross. And there were major trigger points on August 6, August 11, and August 31.

A very specific point of shift occurred on 10-10-2010, and more will occur on 11-11-2011, 12-12-2012, and 12-21-2012. There’s also a series of accelerations that will happen in every single one of the quarters between each solstice and each equinox right through 2012.

The events of the Shift are upon us. By the Winter Solstice, December 21, these events will have completely changed our perception of third dimensional reality, altered our economic system, and raised our consciousness in profound ways.

To simplify these events as much as possible, you could say there are two waves to this Shift. The first wave is passing through every one of us as well as every thing, and it is clearing away any part of you that you are not. It is simply eliminating any part of you that is less than Who You Really Are—as long as you do not argue or hold onto any of these lesser aspects.

As the first wave clears ‘What You Are Not,’ the second wave is bringing in higher, faster light frequencies, and levels of knowledge and information. It is rewiring ‘Who You Are’ as a multi-dimensional being.

In essence, both you and the cosmos are transforming yourselves from the caterpillar to the butterfly, and the change is accelerating very rapidly.

However, if you are still arguing for your limitations, these accelerated light waves will push through these resistance points — and it will not be the comfortable, exciting experience you might hope for.

The Shift is very much your story, and one of your key collaborators is the Sun.

The Sun, as you know, is the center of the solar system. But the part you may not know is that the Sun is a fulcrum, the balance point of planetary alignment in the solar system. Whenever the planets are not balanced in some way as they spin around the Sun, it creates a tilt, and the Sun then shifts to bring the planets back into balance.

Throughout the summer of 2010, there was a rare planetary alignment astrologers have called the Grand Cross. Big planets were involved (Saturn and Jupiter), and smaller planets (Mercury and Mars and Pluto), each with their different powers, personalities, and assigned states of consciousness.

As in a family gathering, there has been a push and pull of personalities in this planetary alignment, and the ongoing imbalance has created a major new tilt in the Sun’s magnetic field—another planned, right-on-time, aspect of the Shift. The tilt has caused a change in the balance point in the Sun. Imagine the Sun’s energy is a liquid, like water. This particular tilt is causing more of the liquid energy to flow into one part of the Sun, into a new part of the Sun, and the old part is beginning to have less energy in it. As this occurs,it signals that we are beginning to enter into a new cycle of consciousness, as well as a new cycle of solar activity— solar storms and winds, solar flares, coronal mass ejections. This solar activity is going to continue, and to increase. With each burst of the Sun, there is a corresponding stepping up in knowledge, consciousness, and alignment on Earth.

The planets are gathering, the Sun is re-balancing and activating, all with the planned outcome of changing everything about how we operate in a third dimensional reality.

Welcome to the Shift.

Historically, we have operated in lesser levels of consciousness on this planet, in abuse of the Earth, not paying attention, taking advantage of. That’s all about to change.

This next new cycle of solar activity (known as Cycle 24) is generating bigger solar flares than have been seen in previous cycles, shooting out from the Sun’s surface at a million miles per hour. These super flares contain x-rays and higher levels of infrared and microwave light frequencies, all designed to raise our consciousness. At the same time, the Earth’s magnetic field, which has had a very specific purpose in our third dimensional reality, has been deteriorating since the year 2000.

The magnetic field was like a template, or a container, that has allowed us to play in the third dimensional game as we have understood it in this lifetime and previous lifetimes. But this container no longer exists as it once did. Cosmic events are intentionally destabilizing it, clearing away the game that we have been playing.

We’ve all been extremely successful in playing this game but now it’s time to go home. That game really is over. It’s not a bad thing. It’s not an ending time. But the game of the third dimension is over.

Other solar light frequencies, especially x-rays and microwaves, are also intentionally altering the dynamics of the Earth, and all of us with it.

Medical x-rays pass through the skin, find the bones, and take a picture of the radiation imprint that is left in the skeletal structure of the physical body. The same thing is occurring in the Earth with new, highly-charged solar x-rays. They pass through the surface of the Earth, enter the crust, and are being stored there. If you put enough x-rays into a bone, the radiation of the x-rays accumulates and the bone will begin to deteriorate. In the same manner, solar x-rays stored in the crust of the Earth are beginning to deteriorate the crust.

In addition, solar microwaves are now passing right through what’s left of the Earth’s magnetic field, right through the surface of the Earth, and heating the core of the Earth from the inside out, just like a microwave oven.

The core of the Earth is made up of two aspects. One is solid, an iron magnesium core. The other is liquid crystal. As the liquid crystal is being heated up, it acts like boiling water. It moves faster, and expands. I’ll describe the consequences of this phenomenon in a moment.

Simply put, with all this new cosmic activity, the Sun is changing, the Earth is changing, and you are changing right along with them.

But there’s actually another player in this Shift story with even greater influence on all that is happening… the center of the galaxy itself.

The galaxy is creating cosmic radiation. Scientists have launched sophisticated satellites which are able to measure it. As these gamma rays move from the galactic center they are raising our consciousness at a very aggressive level, lining up for the event we know as 2012. One of these satellites, known as the Planck satellite, has now detected cosmic radiation coming from a part of the galaxy that is very fascinating.

Between two sets of constellations, one known as Hydra and one known as Centauri, they have found a wave of light, 2.5 billion light years away, which is directly in line with the Earth’s position in 2012. They just don’t know if what they are seeing is moving towards, or away from, the Earth. It is a magnetic level of light so dense that as we pass through it what we define as light will not be visible. It is very possible that this event of the Earth passing through a super-dense magnetic field in 2012 is what some people have historically called the “three days of darkness.”

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Neither. It is just an event that is sitting out in our future, pointing to our shared destiny.

Now let me bring this Shift story a little closer to home, to the immediate changes that are affecting every aspect of our way of life on Earth…

To be continued …

Feminine Energy in Shining Light on Shadow

My Priestess Sister, Rebecca Noel, sent me this recently, and it is a very important message for sacred women:

This series was truly illuminating and very eloquently covered the issues I’ve been grappling with recently of where exactly is the line between focusing energy on what you don’t want and looking at what’s happening in the world at the moment…..what is the line between educating oneself about some of the darker shadow things happening and giving power to it by focusing on it….Where is the line?

This series exquisitely details how information is neither good nor bad it’s the fear we attach to the information that keeps us from taking action to make change for the better and why the feminine energy doesn’t want to explore any of the negative stuff going on in the world and instead looks to men to be our savior but why our energy is needed the most at this time….I highly recommend watching/listening to this… especially all women.
