The May Cross-Quarter (Vernal Equitherm or Beltane) is less than two weeks away! + a dozen online celebrations
The Vernal Equitherm (Beltane) is coming! While Beltane sweeps over our whole Northern Hemisphere (with Samhain in the Southern Hemisphere), it’s especially obvious in California, more El Nino rain has again given California a superbloom! Check out the flowers celebrating Beltane throughout so much of that state!
Success! We did it! A Celebration of the Discovery of the Big Bang is coming on April 20! Can you be there? [Starstuff, Contemplating]
The Horn has been saved!!
One of the most powerful discoveries given to us by science has been learning the astounding and glorious history of how we got here. A key part of that discovery was the finding of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB, see picture below), literally the glow of the Big Bang or Great Radiance itself! The actual structure which gave us our earliest baby picture of ourselves was under threat from developers (for building a condo unit), but now, with our petition and the efforts of many others, has been saved! A number of events are planned for the opening on April 20th, in Holmdel, NJ!
The Eclipse is upon us! Plus Mark’s new book, Ritual Skills, and more! Recent Episodes of THE WONDER podcast, by Mark Green
Are you ready for the Eclipse April 8th? It’s significance to Pagans, as well as Pagan Eclipse Practices, a ritual, and practical details in how to experience totality are in the Eclipse Podcast Episode! Plus Mark’s new book “Round We Dance”, Ritual Skills, etc. All those, and more, are on the page here.
What are Eclipse Portals? Here’s how you can create one yourself!
Many aspects of our world offer compelling ways to see our deep time history, Ancestors, and often similar ways to think about future generations. For me, total solar eclipses are a wonderful case of this. Total solar eclipses are not common. In any given place (say, the Sphinx of Egypt, Mt. Fuji in Japan, or the Yucatan Peninsula, etc.), one needs to wait usually many centuries from one to the next total solar eclipse. For me here in Detroit, Michigan (which will be missed by the path on April 8th), the most recent total solar eclipse was in 1806, and the next one is in 2444, a wait of over 600 years! What if it were possible, when a total solar eclipse happens, to look from one’s current time and place, to see out into another time and place when a total solar eclipse happened or will happen? An eclipse portal?
