Place Based Creations
cultivating a sense of place
The journey up is through-
There is much inspiring about Man as a reflection of environment.
We are surrounded and on top of volcanoes where we live. Their power and magnificence is a reverent force and daily reminder for us of the divinity in nature. They shape and guide us into the very cells of being.
What elements or formations of your place inspire you?
“Thou shalt not speaketh of what is incomprehensible - lest catastrophe is to commence from that single breath -
Power of the great fire of the universe within a blood cell of the fingertip is impressed upon the lips - the world crumbles - the world is made - man will know no difference in the mystery but he will see far into the distance of a future where he imagines that he does.”
“History through Herstory - The Sacred Union” pt1 is to be published before the end of the year.
A new essay is up that serves as a brief synthesis and foreshadows some important considerations
~~~
The existential crisis of these times can be thought of in terms of an Ahrimanic imbalance of Man kinds consciousness.
The various threads of deception and toxic mimicry permeate all realms of human interactions and there is a great risk of the natural human proclivities and intuition being overtaken by an artificial mode of intelligence that is not only incompatible with the earth and humans but parasitic to it as well.
Important considerations must be taken into account in order to combat insidious thought forms wreaking havoc on the vitality and wellbeing of humans and their unique cultures.
Modernity is attempting to secularize and homogenize all forms human thought to a lower sub-primal level that makes people mere servants in favor of a technological artifice of intelligence that is not of this world.
“I see this crisis as a product of the disconnect between mind and body, but one that is in favor of the mind at the expense of the human body. And one that has turned the intellectualism of man so far against himself that his conflation of discrimination with discernment has turned his own intelligence into a pathology and he no longer recognizes the difference between right and wrong action. Man’s ability to reason seems to have hit a wall, and our cognitive dissonance keeps us trapped in black and white concepts with no room for nuance or complexity to exist for the fear of our dogmas being challenged.”

The darkness doth deceive
But the light doth also blind
And the comfort of the womb is but a blissful moment before the pain of being born commences with death of our ignorance
It is therefore because of fear alone that man casts shadows upon his appearances
And enkindles flames upon his illusions
Somehow through walking a pathway of polarity, we find union in this disparity

A Thursday meditation after last night’s beautiful storm~
Electro-conductivity of Place and Space
The point of a strike of light is a free release from matter trappings. Such force nourishes both spirit and earth alike.
A glimpse is offered into a doorway of the revelatory principalities of pleromic Gnosis.
Nature is both spirit teacher-receiver and lesson. And you, human are the ᚦird co-evolving component.
A child of the Mother and Sungod of Thunder.
Blessed be these times and all nourishing forms of growth.
Foundational elements ~
We become what we consume.
All of life is in a process of feeding and being fed. Of living and striving and struggling before finally dying.
Such processes of existence happen in many different ways and are expressed with many different customs and methods, as the diversity of both land and people demands it.
But the foundation of the natural :N:eed remains.
A healthy environment, to grow healthy strong families which make up strong cultures that transfer such lessons of creation and caring to future generations.
Without this baseline value, there can be nothing meaningful nor sustainable.
Life is our gift. And our place and our people are the base from which we work to create everything that we know as healthy and diverse.
However far humans stray, the natural way will remain.
Soil and power
Sacred balance
One life to reflect on the pathway to harmony that is this life’s great challenge.

"What is it like to be a forest? It is to be alive. It is to be filled with aliveness, to be ablaze with aliveness. It is to be rooted in place, like a tree, and it is to move, like bees, like bears, like spiders who throw out webs as sails and travel around the world. It is to be connected one to the others in spiderwebs of memories, parasites, nutrients, hitchhikers, neighborly and nonneighborly relationships, time, joys, sorrows, regrets, anticipations, deaths, births, hatchings, germinations, eatings, s*x, dreams. It is to be living the same blazing, burning, comforting, joyful, exhilarating, calming dream. It is to carry all these lives and all these deaths and all this sun and soil and decomposition and growth and disease and all these memories in one’s bones, and in the marrow of one’s bones, and in the woody fiber of one’s bones, and in the nectar of one’s bones, and in the breath of wind of one’s bones, and in the dragonfly-red pigment of one’s bones. It is the marriage of hitchhiker and hitchhiker and bone and blood and memory and wood and soil."
Gratituesday ~
Cultivating healthy abundance.
If as Americans, we could slow down just a little, to taste and smell all of life’s flavors, we might find a way to fill the void that exists in many of our hearts.
And we might find that we can enjoy much of this world without simultaneously robbing it from future generations.
The things that feed our bodies in a healthy way are the same things that feed our souls and therefore the world.
A life spent manifesting much abundance is a life in alignment with humanity’s greatest gifts. Creative, fulfilling and beautiful.

“A poisonous dragon inhabits the forest,
Yet lacks nothing:
When he sees the sun and its fire,
He scatters his poison and flies upward fiercely:
Neither can the Basilisk master him,
For the dragon knows well how to kill the serpent.”
I think we’re going to start making “Gratituesday” food posts!
Yesterday we picked up our weekly milk allotment from the cow that we own.
For over 5 years at least, every week, a 25 minute drive one way to be blessed with this nourishing tradition.
And now we’re feeling compelled to take a moment to remind everyone of the many fights that small farmers have had to put up against both government and big industry, including scientific communities, just to produce healthy unaltered food and bring it to your tables in the way that God and Mother Nature intended.
Seriously though, battles have been waged and the lives of many humble folk have been ruined all because of the corruption of a government that has allowed corporate interests to override the wellbeing and rights of the community.
Do you really think everyone in a position of power is looking out for your best interests....?
Be grateful for those who have stood against the corruption and tyranny of politicians and corporate agendas.
And don’t take the simple things for granted. You never know when an evil agenda may try to take them away.
All smiles this Monday ~

"The life of a mythology derives from the vitality of its symbols as metaphors delivering, not simply the idea, but a sense of actual participation in a realization of transcendence, infinity, and abundance.”

Forest Folk on the lookout ~
In the modern world
Simple tradition
Is sufficient
to rekindle the flame
of a sacred and holy mission
Tradition is of the spirit. It is language spoken in action, always finding its own unique expression. Ever flowing and morphing, yet uncompromising in the need for existence.
Its insistence is ~
The health and beauty of the natural man, folk and world alike. An exuberance not to simply live but to thrive in a never ending quest to find perfect harmony in the spirit of love for both self and world.
Man and the environment may change shape and morph in different ways, but the principles to live a healthy and beautiful life remain the same.
᚛ᚕᚘᚕ᚜
“It is necessary to have “watchers” at hand who will bear witness to the values of Tradition in ever more uncompromising and firm ways, as the anti-traditional forces grow in strength. Even though these values cannot be achieved, it does not mean that they amount to mere “ideas.” These are MEASURES…. Let people of our time talk about these things with condescension as if they were anachronistic and anti-historical; we know that this is an alibi for their defeat. Let us leave modern men to their “truths” and let us only be concerned about one thing: to keep standing amid a world of ruins.”
Happy Independence Day to all the free folk of the world!
“We live in an age of science and of abounding accumulation of material things. These did not create our Declaration. Our Declaration created them.
The things of the spirit come first.
Unless we cling to that, all our material prosperity, overwhelming though it may appear, will turn to a barren scepter in our grasp.
If we are to maintain the great heritage which has been bequeathed to us, we must be like-minded as the fathers who created it”
Being exhausted with the state of affairs ~
If you have supported us by purchasing a t-shirt, THANK YOU!
Likely due to the nature of our content,
we’ve been battling algorithms with IG and it’s also possible that something more sinister exists within the technological world other than a “shadow ban” that is suppressing our message.
It’s hard to make any concrete accusations but our website has been hacked multiple times and we’ve had to take extra security precautions for backing up our work.
Freedom, in speech or in other modes of existence is not a guarantee.
We will be doing much less “talking” on this platform from now on and more inspirational based posts designed to encourage people to act more in the interest of self and community creation.
Self determination demands participation.
If you want to stay up to date with blog posts and other musings, go sing up for Parler which is touting itself as a free speech platform.

There exists within all of us a hidden memory.
A state of being that connects us to primordial origins that transcend time.
We can see and feel this Place, where we are meant to be and go and also where we came from.
It is a Place of presence existing in providence that awakens the atavistic.
And it’s always been, all around us.

"Living myths are not mistaken notions, and they do not spring from books. They are not to be judged as true or false but as effective or ineffective, maturative or pathogenic. They are rather like enzymes, products of the body in which they work; or in homogeneous social groups, products of a body social.”

Flag day ~
Such great challenges and conflicts within humanity’s quest for developing our individual consciousness that somehow aligns itself with a collective and cultural cohesion....
Most should by now understand that a globalist narrative as we know and understand it, is antithetical to a Place Based one.
After all, the monotheistic ideology that developed into Globalization is one that has became lost in a mirage of mirrors and negative patterns, which in turn influences further illusions of one people’s ‘holy land’ being somehow more significant than anyone else’s.
~~~
It would however, be wrong to assume that because a people chooses to differentiate themselves in the world that they can’t also align themselves in some semblance of a global unity. It would just need to be a unity that respects all peoples for both their strengths and also their shortcomings.
Because, regardless of ethnicity or culture, none of us are perfect and we can all stand do better in our actions and develop higher principles of critical thinking along with a better code of conduct.

“The chosen center may be anywhere. The Holy Land is no special place. It is every place that has ever been recognized and mythologized by any people as home" ~

Land of the Free & Sacred Symbology Visit the post for more.
A perimeter that exists in accordance with the laws of nature will have an inherently harmonious effect. And although a boundary has been established, the perception of limitations changes and a powerful creative energy emerges.
Once the circle is established around the elemental forms, the sacred nature of the symbol is awakened.
It becomes a mythological container of local law, lore, customs and moral order.
It is both universal & cosmological but veiled in the diverse, vernacular and ethnic expressions of the folkish inhabitants.
If mythology is the exegesis of the symbol and ritual is the re-enactment of mythology, then our daily actions are both a ‘symbolic’ and a ritual representation of the myths we choose to live by.
The most basic symbolic understanding of this principle can be found in the form of a circle, which differentiates everything within and out side of its border as either sacred or profane. It establishes a boundary and puts one’s consciousness into accordance with everything within it.

Yesterday we ran around this lake and butte. A ritualistic and therefore symbolic gesture that honors the sacredness of this Place. A Mythological action of self sacrifice to the Place that makes us who we are.
Power of the symbol and fitness ~
# # # # #
Mythology is one of those things that you don’t need to believe in for it to be true.
That’s why you can’t make up a mythology. You can only be a vessel by which it’s essence comes through into the world.
The symbol represents mythological power.
No one invents a symbol. It simply occurs. And no matter how hard one tries, they are unable to apply an untruth to it. The symbol will be, what ever it is.
It is a reflection of the essence of cosmic Truth and law. An ‘ACTIVE’ principle that exists in the heart of creation.
That’s what makes it both universal and sacred.

To say we feel like we have a lot to say about this world is an understatement. For us, Place Based has always been much more than an ideology.
It is a pathway of discovery into the mysterious forces of both the earth and cosmos.
We’re hardly finished with our own explorations and learning, so stay tuned as we continue to keep sharing our visions into exploratory wisdom.

Currently training for a hot summer with lots of hiking.
If we are to be stewards of the land and our folk, fitnesses is primary. Nothing in nature let’s their bodies atrophy in the face of adversity. Everything grows and fights until its last breath.
If humans are to be more “in tune” with natural law, then our foundation should rest upon a healthy physicality.
Get outside, stay fit and have fun!
