St George's Day

 

Very happy St George's Day, that is always held on 23rd April. However, this year it will be held on the 28th April because the Church decided to push it back this year as they didn't want confusion over Easter. 

The story of George and the dragon has been taught to many children and is a favourite adventure fantasy romance of a knight defeating the dragon and rescuing a beautiful lady and then they fall in love. 

It's celebrated in many countries and especially in England as St George is the patron saint. St George's Day is a significant Christian festival. It can also be celebrated by Pagans and other non Christians. It's often held throughout the country in many towns and cities. 

People can be seen enjoying feasts and entertainments. Many go wearing costumes, as some dressed as knights while others ride horses. Medieval themed parades, plays, music and parties. There are men in armour, ladies on stilts, Morris Dancers, and huge puppet dragons. There is much fun and excitement.

Eostre message

Everyone I wish you all a Wonderful Happy Easter (Eostre) holidays. 

Info: 

April is Eostremonath, an Anglo-Saxon name of the month. It was during this time that ancient pre-Christians held feasts, according to Bede. 

Eostre is a Goddess of Spring. Her Anglo-Saxon name Eostre is believed to be where the name "Easter" comes from, as the transformation from the Pagan celebration into Christian belief about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Again this ties in with the theme of Spring, when flowers return after a long cold deathlike winter. A time of renewal in natures seasonal cycles. It's also the return of Goddess Persephone bringing the Spring.

In Spring the sun is more prominent, with longer warmer days. The German version of Eostre is Ostara. Modern pagans celebrate Ostara during the Spring equinox. The Wiccan Wheel of the Year includes Ostara as a sabbat or holiday. 

Blessings,

Raging fire

 

There is a lot of devastation in the United Kingdom as wildfires spread across the countryside, devastating nature reserves. It's only Spring and wildfires have swept across and out of control, with it going up and down each country. Some blame climate change for this, although I don't know the temperature being hot enough, except a very mild sunny weekend. Some would say it was started by idiots with their BBQ parties or even much more sinister, arsonists who want to destroy things, and they may be local vandals or something darker. 

2025 started with the huge wildfires in California, that caused many to evacuate, while some sadly lost their lives. Australia has also been experiencing wildfires and these are bushfire outbreaks. Also in Russia's Siberia have had a lot of wildfires recently. South Korea and also Japan have suffered a lot of wildfires since earlier this year. There were two wildfires in Table Mountain in South Africa that was eventually controlled. French territory Amsterdam Island in the Pacific was damaged severely by wildfire this year. Yesterday a number of wildfires damaged forests in Germany. This was blamed on a "dry Spring" A total of 17 wildfires have already struck Italy in 2025. 

Now there are wildfires occurring over the British Isles, which seems to be because of "unknown causes". While the weather has been wet on and off, some believe this was deliberate instead of natural disaster. A lot of nature reserves with the fires were likely started by arsonists, as stated by those officials who've been investigating the causes. Deep sadness over a number of wildlife that died because of the fires. It's heart breaking and worrying as I'm concerned for the safety of all.

Beneath the pyramids of Giza

It has been a very interesting year so far about big discoveries. More controversial is the finding of giant structures beneath the pyramids of Giza. A team of European scientists used advanced radar technology and found a massive underground city beneath the pyramids. The enormous underground city complex is estimated to be over 6,500 feet. There are eight tall upright columns that are 2,100 feet beneath the pyramid of Khafre, extending deep into the earth, ending on giant platform cubes of 250 feet per side in length. Each column has a spiral stairway, from the cubic bases all the way up to the pyramid. 

Many have been excited about the discovery. To be honest, the actual discovery is at a significant time. The pyramids are amazing works of engineering and (in a way) artistic. These underground secrets though, while very mysterious, mind boggling and chilling also as it changes everything we've been taught about human history. The underground city looks very beautiful and it gives me a headache imagining how people so long ago built that. 

Some say it wasn't humans who built it, but is a natural geological feature! Or it's a spiritual plane that others have said could be the Halls of Amenti. This place is described in the Emerald Tablet of Thoth, as either a magical realm or a stargate, located deep in the earth and is a connection with the soul and physical realm. Others think this discovery of a hidden city under the pyramid of Giza is the Halls of Amenti. The columns are shaped like human DNA, spiralling stairs. Like passages from the soul journey and how one transitions from the earthly plane to the next realm. The sight of a tunnel at the gate of death, and the vivid wonder at ancient classical buildings, can make many question their own place in a world that they thought they knew. To see it makes people realise they never understood everything they thought they did. Let us wait and find out more to be unravelled about this latest discovery.
