Herbs and Plants of the Zodiac

Fennel.. an Herb

I recently went questing in search of the herbs and plants relating to my sign in the Zodiac. I truly believe there is a direct connection between our bodies, our health in general, and the plants and herbs associated with our birth sign. This is a belief of many scholars throughout time. I have always been passionate about natural health, and have tried to follow a dietary regimen according to my belief and trust in Nature. After getting seriously ill about a year ago, my journey to find a way to healing my body through natural means brought many new insights.

Health and healing is a realm best approached as naturally as possible, and this can only be accomplished by studying healing plants and herbs which have been tested throughout time. We have lost so much knowledge which once we learned as a natural part of life. Once upon a time, my great-great grandmother could have probably offered advice concerning my health problems before they became so serious. My great-great grandfather may have been able to help prevent much suffering, by showing me which herbs would strengthen my immune system and bring my blood pressure back down to a safe level, or perhaps taught me which herbs should be taken to maintain good health from the beginning.

It is not suprising I have had such a hard time digesting my food properly, considering the poor quality of most food on the market today. We are hard pressed to find truly natural and highly nutritious food, which at one time we took for granted. Luckily, there are herbs which can help us digest our food, yet one truly wonders how much nutrition our bodies are actually digesting and converting into natural energy and nutrients essential for optimum health. It would be ideal if we could all grow our own gardens, and maintain an essential amount of herbs for adding to the preparation our meals, as well as maintaing health and vitality. In a perfect World…

Well then, I will mention that I no longer have high blood pressure. And I was pretty scared when I realized that my blood pressure was EXTREMELY high for at least a year. I finally admitted to defeat in curing this on my own, and went seeking the advice of my friend who is a Naturapathic. Through prayers and the natural herbs administered by my friend, I found my way back to good health. My energy level has increased dramatically, and I can still play tag with the kids! I thank the stars for the gifts in Nature abundant in Mother Earths storehouse of natural remedies. And I hope more people wake up soon and discover just how precious these herbs truly are to living a long and healthy life; which, by the way, some folks consider weeds and indiscriminately destroy each and every day.

So… if you are anything like me, and wish to discover for yourself which plants and herbs are related to your birth sign of the Zodiac, I would be happy to direct you to a few sites I found interesting.  You can decide for yourself how you feel about this information, and do some research on your own. I would love to hear any comments or suggestions on this subject, and sincerely look forward to any feedback you have to offer.

Honor Mother Earth, and the bodies we dwell in, with good health and an abundance of Life!

~ Mother Goddess and Earth Goddess ~

Fantasy and Goddess Art

Once upon a time Women were honored as the Great Goddess’ earthly incarnation. In the Matriarchal Clans women raised the children, gathered most of the food, invented the first tools, domesticated fire and animals, and used plants for healing. Goddess Worship reigned for over 25,000 years.

The balance of power shifted towards the male around 3000BC as the peace-loving goddess-culture endured the invasion of the tribes of war-like, male-dominated nomads. These men subdued the goddess people, subjecting them to the power of the masculine.

Shall we explore the realm of the Mother Goddesses and Earth Goddesses a bit further? This is a subject of great interest, bringing enlightenment to the power of the feminine, and the role these divine beings play in our lives. I will point you in the direction of some great sources of information relating to the Mother Goddesses and Earth Goddesses.

Could humans be descendants from the Stars?

Have you ever truly wondered about your ancient origins? Do you believe humans are all descended from primates, as some believe, or could there be another source adding to our DNA? Perhaps some humans are descendants of an entirely different nature. I believe the intelligence level of many humans to be much higher than expected from evolved beings of a primate nature. There are many ancient recordings in caves, stone tablets and ancient scrolls that point to Star travelers. These Galactical Astronauts may have left behind more than mysterious evidence of their travels upon Mother Earth. Perhaps they left behind their DNA as well.

It it scientifically documented that some blood factors simply will not mix, such as Rh negative and Rh positive. A mother who has Rh negative blood cannot carry a child with Rh positive blood. Her body will reject the child. Her blood builds up antibodies to destroy an Alien substance, just as it would to fight off a virus, thereby destroying the infant. How is this possible that a mother’s body should reject her own offspring? This does not occur naturally anywhere else in Nature.

I found an article directly related to this subject, if you are interested in reading further on this matter. Visit Blood of the Gods at Labyrinthina and scroll down to learn about a womans struggle to find the truth of her origins, while striving to understand her blood heritage. 

You will find much to read about, if you are as fascinated in Ancient Civilizations as I am,  as well as interesting theories and data relating to the Star Nations by visiting this wonderful site. Here is the link to the main page at Labyrinthina.. Official Blog of Kathy Doore.

Enjoy! :)

Enhancing Wilderness and Survival skills with Kamana

Wilderness Awareness

Have you thought about enhancing your Nature skills? I have, and I have been seeking ways to begin this Journey to adding these valuable skills and enhance my knowledge and love of Nature. My elders have been stressing the need to learn basic and advanced survival skills, which once upon a time we all learned as a part of living. In moving away from the Natural world and into the modern world we have lost a great knowledge of what it is to be human living in balance with Nature.

Could you truly survive in the wilderness, if the need should arise? If you are interested in learning outdoor skills such as tracking, bird language, primitive skills, wilderness survival skills, wild foods and more, I have found a Wilderness Awareness School dedicated to enhancing awareness of Nature  and the natural world. These skills are not just important for survival. Living and moving through the natural world with awareness and knowledge gives one a greater perspective of this wonderful planet and all her generous gifts.

My love for Mother Earth moves me to seek ways of not only preserving these wild and beautiful places, yet learning to walk through Nature with grace and respect for this precious gift, where our Creator has seen fit to place us. 

If you wish to learn these valuable skills through home-study naturalist training courses designed for youths and adults, you may wish to consider visiting Kamana to learn more. Their dynamic programs combine ancient and modern ecological wisdom, and empower people of all ages to become stewards, mentors and leaders.

Can we save the planet and heal Mother Earth?

Mother Earth 

This is a question asked by many. With all the natural, and unnatural disasters occuring around the Earth, there has been a rising concern for the health of our planet and it’s inhabitants. This is nothing new, yet is reaching a critical stage, and we DO have the power within each of us to bring about this healing. In caring for and healing ourselves we can bring about healing of the Earth. Getting involved, and actively participating in nurturing the land around us is of vital importance. We cannot keep taking more than we are willing to give in return. As caretakers of our Earth Mother, we have the power to create a positive flow of energy just as we do when caring for our own gardens. Why do we call this planet Mother Earth? Because she truly is our Mother, in that she provides everything we need to live, grow and thrive. Nurturing our Spirits through her beauty as well as our bodies with all her gifts in Nature, creating a healthy balance. Loving her is all too easy in our acceptance of her abundance in caring for all our needs. It is well past time to wake up and realize how special this relationship between Mother Earth and the humans who inhabit this planet really is. And how truly vital it is to understand the importance of this connection.

I would like to direct you to a site with some interesting views on this subject… Healing Mother Earth

Harnessing the Power of the Wind ~

Wind Energy There is much to be said about harnessing the Power of Nature in creating renewable energy. Our Ancient ancestors knew how to use these powerful resources to make life easier, and create a balance between humans and nature. It truly makes sense to allow Nature to assist us in life, instead of wantonly harvesting resources that create havoc on the ecosystem, as well as causing serious health issues to humans and animals. The power of the Wind can be harnessed to create a clean source of energy at a very low cost. The power of the Sun is being used as well, in many ways, to provide energy. In combining Science with Nature we are paving the way for innovative ways to create energy sources, with many uses, ensuring a healthy planet for future generations.

I love searching for information on Ancient Civilizations… this is a great fascination for me. I feel strongly that a lot of knowledge has been lost, through one disaster or another, and through diligent research we can regain some of this precious knowledge. We can learn not only from our mistakes, yet from studying ancient techniques, and applying this with the help of modern technology. Seriously, so much is being discovered that points to a level of technology in our past that actually surpasses what we know now.

I found this site interesting, if one is interested in learning more about Wind as a renewable energy as well as more interesting facts about Health and Nature…

Partial Solar Eclipse on September 11th 2007

 The last Solar Eclipse of the year is partial, and will only be visible from Antartica and parts of South America. Greatest eclipse (75 percent of the way to total) occurs in the South Ocean at 12:31-UT.

Early risers in southern South America will see the sun partially blocked during and/or soon after sunrise.  One might ask what is the significance of these Eclipses? Is it all just scientific, or are there hidden meanings underlying these wondrous events…

The Solar Eclipse of September 11th, 2007 in Virgo 8:31 EDT has to do with Earth, practicle, sensible, dedicated and logical. As opposed to the Lunar Eclipse which occured on August 28th of 2007, which has to do with Water, Healing, Spiritual,  Psycic and Sensitivity. 

A powerful energetic geometry is formed as the four Eclipses of 2007 come to the end of their performance. Light from these two parallel events form lines of information that are seen in fractal patterns just beneath the surface of life. Eclipses represent openings and closings. These Eclipses are about the hidden messages in all words. Like a cosmic scrabble game the capital letters come together to be written anew; new thoughts.. new opportunities.. new beginnings.

Eclipses mean changes, good and bad, up and down and everything in-between. Eclipses always escort in significant events– marriage, divorce, death, birth, career change, etc. They intensely magnify and are living parenthesis forcing us to look at what we have turned our pretty heads away from. The old restraints in words and thoughts fall away like rusty shackles exposing new and tender skin. Within each word of the alphabet are hidden texts, challenging your mind to open to the vastness of what lies within them.

Solar eclipses mean new beginnings, (September 11 2007) and lunar eclipses (August 28, 2007) represent finishing things. These are very powerful Eclipses each with their own gifts and own set of rules.
