I didnt realize it was so extreme with the light and dark there, almost like Alaska.

Here sunset is around 4pm too at the winter solstice.

@BlessingsDeers and @Bianca_Aga

Can you guess what wood the NA tribes used to make Solar calendars?

Not to be confused with Stonehenge :wink:

Can yall guess what wood they used to make Totem poles or 20ft tall Walls to protect the city/villages?

Will have the book reports done for you and Bianca in the new year. Looking forward to reading both books. :slightly_smiling_face:

“Big time!” as in … ?
I thought maybe you’d mention “Urim & Thummim”

Yes! :hugs: Your later post certainly made it a great synchronicity! But also our earlier chats about the Elves and Elemental’s id not spoken to my sister about and the Findhorn Garden book and Penny Kellys book The Elves Of Lily hill Farm

She had bought Urim and Thummim “to keep you company”.

“Anomaly”? Why? & "Smile: because?
Sorry cant read your mind here😂

Few years ago in the night i was LD and saw a man walking through my garden who looked like a life size green man. He wasn’t aware of me watching him. In Scotland there are churches with the Green man carvings.
Roselyn chapel again:

I think that view is brilliant! Especially with the subject green man. “Half & half”.


Only because of that same book ive posted screen shots from (Amenti, Red headed, Seth, etc etc) and the synchronicity of me reading about the Cedar Of Lebanon

Cool! Thanks for sharing this!

"… perfumes: oils for liquid and solid fats to make unguents. The most listed ingredients in unguents and perfumes include frankincense and myrrh, cinnamon and cardamom, iris and lily, mint and juniper, … "

I have mint from my garden, cinnamon & cardamom on my breakfast porridge, and use a healing potion made with gold frankincense & myrrh. Yet to use lily & juniper. Have wild irises abundantly on the island, will have to investigate their uses.

Its great in the summer, shorter growing time but longer days of sunlight. My neighbour a mile away, took this today when the sun rose. But it stays low throughout the shortest days… soon to change :partying_face:


:fire:

@NightHawk999 sooo interesting!
And back to the subject again. The secret book talks a lot about uk stone circles. And yes

" that the site was possibly a calendar for tracking solar events such as solstice and equinoxes. He began referring to the circles as “woodhenges”; comparing the structures to England’s well-known circles at Woodhenge and Stonehenge"

The type of wood used, red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), is considered sacred by many Native American groups.[5] The red cedar is the only native evergreen species in the area and is resistant to disease and decay.[9] Traces of red ochre pigment was also found, suggesting that the posts were probably painted at some point."

Yried to find some info about the timber used for wooden henges but very little. Only found one saying poles made of oak. But whilst searching this site came up about Cedars of Lebanon
https://www.monumentaltrees.com/en/photos-lebanoncedar/gbr/england/
Interesting map :thinking: Any from the biblical region?

" Most scholars suspect that the phrase refers to a set of two objects used by the high priest to answer a question or reveal the will of God.[1][2]"

Very interesting

" consequence, Urim and Thummim has traditionally been translated as “lights and perfections” (by Theodotion, for example), or, by taking the phrase allegorically, as meaning “revelation and truth”, or “doctrine and truth”"
&

" In accordance with the belief that Urim and Thummim translates to “Light and Truth”, the Latin equivalent Lux et Veritas has been used for several university mottoes. For example, Lux et Veritas is the motto of Indiana University and the University of Montana. Similarly, Northeastern University’s motto is Lux, Veritas, Virtus (“Light, Truth, Virtue”). Urim and Thummim itself is emblazoned in Hebrew across the open book pictured on the Yale University coat of arms, and the translation Lux et Veritas appears below on a banner.["

Love it.

That was the synchronicity for me, it came to mind and made me think of you for both trees.

Just saying its not like a stop sign or fire hydrant. When I think of the 5 surrounding towns by me, I cant think of any other homes that have had a tree with the added face.

“Green men’ are faces with foliage sprouting from their mouths and are a common feature found in many medieval churches, although they have been found in important buildings since Roman times. There are said to be around 100 green men inside and outside Rosslyn Chapel. Historically, the green man symbolised the capacity for great goodness and the parallel scope for significant evil. The vines or foliage sprouting from the mouth are said to represent nature’s growth and fertility.”

Very interesting, had never heard of green men before. Sounds like this depiction may have been drawing from Roman or Druid beliefs?

This link was amazing, thank you!:

" n ancient times, cedar wood was especially desirable for its aromatic qualities as well as its resistance to decay and bugs. Lebanon was known for its magnificent cedars and was once heavily forested with them. Cedar was a major export and source of wealth, although, in more recent years, Lebanon has faced deforestation. Even today, the image of a cedar tree is found on the Lebanese national flag.

In Ezekiel 31, Assyria is compared to a cedar of Lebanon and described thus: “Beautiful branches overshadowing the forest; it towered on high, its top above the thick foliage. The waters nourished it, deep springs made it grow tall; their streams flowed all around its base and sent their channels to all the trees of the field. So it towered higher than all the trees of the field; its boughs increased and its branches grew long, spreading because of abundant waters. All the birds of the sky nested in its boughs, all the animals of the wild gave birth under its branches; all the great nations lived in its shade. It was majestic in beauty, with its spreading boughs, for its roots went down to abundant waters” (verses 3–7). The symbolism of the cedar points to the former greatness of Assyria, as it towered magnificently over the other nations of the earth.

Cedar is mentioned throughout the Old Testament as an item of luxury and wealth. David used cedar wood in building his palace (2 Samuel 5:11; 7:2), and it was also used in building the temple (1 Kings 5:6; 2 Kings 19:23), which was almost completely paneled with cedar (1 Kings 6:6, 16, 18, 20, 36). Solomon used it in his Palace of the Forest of Lebanon, with cedar columns, beams, and roof (1 Kings 7:2). It was also used in the construction of the second temple (Ezra 3:7). The abundance of cedar was seen as a sign of prosperity (1 Kings 10:27; 2 Chronicles 1:15.) David and Solomon acquired their cedar from Hiram, king of Tyre, a city in Lebanon (1 Chronicles 14:1; 2 Chronicles 2:3, 8) where the best cedar was to be found.

The fact that God planted the cedars in Lebanon was a sign of His power and goodness (Psalm 29:5; 104:16). His ability to break or burn them is a sign of His power to judge (Zechariah 11:1; Isaiah 2:3; 14:8). Jeremiah warned the king of Judah that, although he rested in a house of cedar—figuratively calling his residence “Lebanon”—he would not escape judgment (Jeremiah 22:14–15, 23).

The cedars of Lebanon were a gift from God and a source of wealth for Lebanon, the cities of Tyre and Sidon especially benefitting from their export (1 Chronicles 17:1, 6; 22:4). Although Tyre and Sidon were on friendly terms with Israel under David and Solomon, in later years they became enemies, and Tyre rejoiced over the fall of Judah. Therefore, God promised judgment (Ezekiel 26).

The cedars of Lebanon should remind us that every good gift comes from God,"

i hrow mint too :heavy_plus_sign:

Very cool. As I said before, the knowledge and wisdom held in the night sky is the gift that keeps on giving… :star_struck: :star_struck: :star_struck:

Great pic of the sunrise.

Oak makes sense, because it is so strong, and abundant in the tegion.

Is that map of Woodhenges in europe?

I got to believe there were more, And lots made fron stone, that were destroyed or repurposed (used the stones to make homes)

Red Ceder is pretty amazing with its ability to withstand rot, as long as you keep it protected from water, it will last 100s (1000s) of years if cared for.

God those trees are gorgeous, did not realize they got so huge!

TBH it wasn’t until i read the Urim and Thummim meaning i posted that i too saw what you did.

I somehow knew the 2 words when i heard them telepathically, but was a pleasant surprise to read the meanings.

Like minds!

Ive only really thought of the green man as Pagan, but could be Druid or Celtic :thinking:

Like minds again. Like i said it popped up whilst searching the type of timber used for wooden henges.

Nice one :+1::star2:
What do you use it for?

I can see this will be an area of much research in the future.

I thought i might find Cedars were use for Henges, but yes good point about Oak.

The map was on that same link above about the oldest cedar trees in Europe and no not Henges.

There are many Stone circles and megalithic stones. So do Stone Circles and ancient sacred sites interest you?

I have an interesting map that has all these ancient Stones plotted in uk with churches and ancient sites (see notation). The author took 20 years, realising many formed straight lines. His theory was the Stones were laid to balance the Earth/surrounding land that helped reduce earthquakes. Dont know if thats true.

Here is a close up around Stone Henge.

One of the oldest trees in Scotland is a yew.

What is also SO BEAUTIFUL and a synchronicity, is that yesterday, from the royalties of my third book “Dream Relationships - that become Real”, plants and trees were planted in one of the most beautiful forests in Portugal - Bussaco, who was the first forest to have cedars, here in Portugal…
You can read about it here, in English: Buçaco Forest.
This also connects me to @NightHawk999 in synchronicity, because it was thanks to him that I bought cedar incense, for the first time, this year… not knowing yet about this connection with Bussaco (the association who organizes this, to whom we donate the money, only announced it would be in Bussaco, a couple of weeks ago) :cowboy_hat_face:
As I was researching a bit more about it yesterday, when this information came I felt a deep connection with you both :star_struck:
Life is amazing and all this is aligned with my book and teachings…

I also use mint when I do sauna :star2:

Beloved @BlessingsDeers

How wonderful :dizzy:

Awesome!

Reading your link to ‘Buçaco Forest’ I was surprised to read the
"Buçaco-Cedar (Cupressus lusitanica)
and the tree origin:
“Origin: Alien species, indigenous from Mexico and Guatemala
Distribution: North America and Southern Europe”

Reading about Carmelites
“The issue around the name of this tree may stir some controversy, and there is one (or more than one) reason for that. The reason behind its name may be traced back to the Carmelites who thought that this species belonged to the cedar family, as it reminded them of the cedars of Lebanon”
this synchronicity came up

So love this synchronicity between you and @NightHawk999 and so in love with the way synchronicity in life works. :evergreen_tree:

Amen! :dizzy: Amazing :pray:t2:

Wow … not that I’ll experience a sauna, but can imagine the mints vapour.

Yeah me too, that was really cool

Originally I was told it grew like a weed, so planted it for ground cover.

Use it in the spring and summer to make a steam, a tea to first inhale, then drink, if I pick up a cold. Not months Inget sick often, so have only done the steam inhale a 3 times. Tea drink, a couple dozen. Not so much anymore though, I found out mint and pepperment lower testosterone :upside_down_face:

Going to try the pasta sauce addition, thank you for the tip. You of all people know how much I love pasta :slightly_smiling_face: :wink: :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes, or another species of evergreeen, or high resin tree.

My bad.

Is the pope Catholic?

Not sure either, but I can see that theory holding some ‘weight’ :wink:

The large map has all churches and sacred sites plotted. THEY FORM LINES :eyes:


The map with Stone Henge is just a zoom in from the larger map.

But dont worry, i understand if your spread across answering lots of comments about different topics. Some resonate at the time and some dont :hugs:

Yep! But like it says or means here, therefore native.

Wiki " In the United Kingdom, ancient woodland is that which has existed continuously since 1600 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (or 1750 in Scotland).[1][2] Planting of woodland was uncommon before those dates, so a wood present in 1600 is likely to have developed naturally.[3]"

Yews like the Fortingall Tree are sometimes planting in pairs as a gateway to a holy place like a church.

“Yew trees are traditionally associated with British churchyards and many date back over a thousand years. Some historians say they were planted near churches **as a safe source of wood to make English longbows, or that their poisonous leaves and berries deterred hungry cattle from invading graveyards”

Why do they put yew trees in graveyards?

“The yew tree has been associated with death and the journey of the soul from this life to the next for thousands of years. **It was sacred to Hecate, Ancient Greek Goddess of Death, Witchcraft and Necromancy, and was said to purify the dead as they entered the underworld of Hades”

This was really cool as was this:

Hecate is a Goddess I do not know much about, she was not one of the 12 olympians, but seems like she may have played an important role in back them:

“Hecate was the goddess of magic and witchcraft, and so much more. Her functions extended beyond the realms of the heavens, earth, the seas, and the underworld.”
