Inspired by the Ancients
Art is the only true lense through which the modern world has ever been able to get a real glimpse at the ancient past. Art has been invaluable to the pursuit of archeological knowledge. When you imagine the old gods, you don't have to struggle so very hard because the ancient people already knew what they looked like! And from the most broad lense, you can clearly see that they were incredibly distinctive and identifiable! We don't see several different re editions of what Thor or Zeus might have looked like or their general personalities. Throughout all forms of writing and even in UPG experiences, the known deities seem to be really clear. Thor and Zeus are good examples to pair because they are both gods of thunder, lightning, rain, the sky in general. But they have very different descriptions and obvious personality traits that don't really match. This is where I take my perspective from, that all deities are who they are. Not the same deity by a different name just happening to be mentioned to some travellers who start a whole new religion about that same deity with a new name they just decided to make up and entirely different folkloric stories. That doesn't really make much sense to me! Pantheons are unique families that chose a place on earth to inhabit, develop, and teach humans how to thrive. The stories always say how the gods taught humans. Why shouldn't we believe them? Not only has art depicted deities consistently but in some cultures, it was their very language! Ancient Egyptians, Sumarians, Native Americans, Meso Americans, many of these cultures had picture writing! Heiroglyphics, cuneiform, and many more! Some cultures used knotwork to tell stories or keep track of business information such as accounts of livestock and other things. Humans have no shortage when it comes to the imagination and it has been how we have come to be who we are today! Anyone today who fails to give ancient people their due shows themselves to be ill educated. We didn't just magically get handed a modern system. It developed over time and ever more rapidly as the technology itself lended to our breakthroughs. Art is the best way we are able to see how things progressed! Just looking at art and it's progress through the ages is a perfect way to measure our understandings of the world and what we have gained today but also, so very very much of what we have lost in our often blind pursuit of progress.

Crystals, Gems and Stones
Why do so many people involved in witchcraft use these natural beauties? Many think it's just an esthetic. Some think it is a gimmick! But the use of the earths natural raw materials is anything but when it comes to witchcraft! And it all comes down to energy. Science! What a wonderful thing we have invented. To deeply understand things on a molecular level. To understand how things interact with each other. To understand the depths of the universe and it's incredible complexity. Many think science refutes magic, spirituality and tradition, but in fact, science does more to confirm all of it than one may ever realize unless they look deeper. One of the best examples when it comes to crystals is Quartz! Quartz is used in lots of technologies to conduct electricity. Your watch has a tiny piece of this crystal that helps it keep time! Quartz when put under pressure, emits an electric charge. Take it to a beach during an electrical storm and it will actually morph on a molecular level! Let wet quartz get struck by lightning and you get fulgurites, or petrified lightning! Small glass tubes formed from the intense heat and pressure! Now, the human body has to have electricity in it to animate. Our brain waves are electrical. Our nerves are electrical. So, something that can be affected by electric energy like quartz, that has to have some kind of realistic effect on the human body! Modern or mainstream science may refute that it has any affect on a level that can be measured by our instruments of science. But they cant seem to account for the human brain creating pathways in reality based on our beliefs! Science can't fully understand why a person who believes something is helping them, is actually seeing improvement based on belief alone! Crystals are incredibly ancient. The very oldest ever found are Zircon! They were formed not long after the planet itself was formed. We are talking 4.4 Billion years old! Tiger's eyes were formed by a fascinating process more recently discovered, called the "crack and seal" process. Their oldest deposits are around 2.5 billion years old! When we look at stones and crystals, we are looking at history going back before the dinosaurs, before life itself was even known to exist on earth at all!

Holistic Healing!
One of the topics I am deeply invested in, is holistic healing, natural remedies, wild foraging, and home growing herbs and food. I have spent a decent amount of money on some great books on these topics! One of the best authors out there for books on these topics is Nicole Apelian. She is famous for surviving in the wilderness for over 50 days with nothing but a knife and her own intelligence! She puts out many "Lost Remedies" books! I'd be surprised if you haven't seen her ads on Facebook! In the midst of collecting books, I also have digital files that include all kinds of useful information. Among the future courses I intend to create, I want to make a course that includes all kinds of information about natural healing! I'm so passionate on this subject because, doctors today know less about the human body than scientists do about the bottom of the ocean. Especially women! Our bodies are very complicated and unique! So, trusting the "one size fits all" remedies doctors put out there just doesn't cut it for me. My health issues are complex. Only I truly know what is going on inside me. I can't tell you how many times doctors ignored me or told me I was fine when I clearly wasn't. Or didn't even know how to do a basic pelvic exam! This is unacceptable considering how much they get paid! I know I'm not the only one who thinks the medical system is completely backwards and only helps us after we are sick, but makes sure we are dependent on something that will cost us $$! The human body is made up of exactly the same things that are in the earth! This is something people never even consider! Zinc, calcium, iron, water, vitamins, minerals, proteins, and other metals like copper. We are literally derived from the exact same material. Thus, it is my solid belief that EVERYTHING we need to cure us, maintain health and vitality is going to be found in NATURE! Many of the medications today say "don't take with xyz herbs or foods" why? Because those herbs and foods are the natural source for the drug they synthesized in a lab! Why do we want fake synthetic stuff in our body and why is that supposed to be healthier, more affective, or even capable of fixing the problem, when it isn't even the same thing our bodies carry? I call foul! I call BS! I say, they just want to make money off slowly killing us! We are poisoning our bodies with synthetic and processed things all the time! And THAT is why we are often so unhealthy!

Holistic Healing!
Welcome!
We are growing, Im so excited! I would like to invite you, if you wish, to my Facebook groups! They are looking for people like you who take this type of thing to heart. We live as Pagans, witches, practitioners of old ways. Or seek that life. It's not just a hobby! My group is called Odin's Ravens, Nature's Pagans and Spirituality! It does require me to approve you in so I'll see you there if you do! We have over 1,200 members! It is a private group and I want to help make it more active. I'd love your help! https://www.facebook.com/groups/280327607063736/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT
