Having a Hard Time Concentrating on Regular Posts Why?…

I am in a major Fibromyalgia flare because of the snowstorm that’s coming to hit the midwestern US starting this afternoon or late night. This plus the stress with everything going on in my children’s lives both blood and heart is causing a great dose of brain fog. Any who not all the realgar posts are going up and some may even be missing something on the tomorrow posts. UGH I can’t even remember what I want to say to you without messing it up. Hopefully I will be better able to focus tomorrow. Until than have a fantastic or at least an ok day!

Alaska’s Arctic waterways are turning orange, threatening drinking water

Dozens of once crystal-clear streams and rivers in Arctic Alaska are now running bright orange and cloudy, and, in some cases, they may be becoming more acidic. This otherwise undeveloped landscape now looks as if an industrial mine has been in operation for decades, and scientists want to know why.

Roman Dial, a professor of biology and mathematics at Alaska Pacific University, first noticed the starkest water-quality changes while doing field work in the Brooks Range in 2020. He spent a month with a team of six graduate students, and they could not find adequate drinking water. “There’s so many streams that are not just stained, they’re so acidic that they curdle your powdered milk,” he said. In others, the water was clear, “but you couldn’t drink it (because) it had a really weird mineral taste and tang.”

Dial, who has spent the last 40 years exploring the Arctic, was gathering data on climate-change-driven changes in Alaska’s tree line for a project that also includes work from ecologists Patrick Sullivan, director of the Environment and Natural Resources Institute at the University of Alaska Anchorage, and Becky Hewitt, an environmental studies professor at Amherst College. Now, the team is digging into the water-quality mystery. “I feel like I’m a grad student all over again in a lab that I don’t know anything about, and I’m fascinated by it,” Dial said.

Most of the rusting waterways are located within some of Alaska’s most remote protected lands: the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the Gates of the Arctic National Park and …

Sinus-Clearing Healing Salt Bowl

Recipe by Kasie

Use a blend of herbs and essential oils to create this healing bowl.

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

  • Light your rosemary incense, cast a circle and call the quarters if you wish.
  • Anoint a white candle using any of the oils suggested above and light it.
  • Mix the herbs in a mortar and pestle and say:
    “Herbs of green, herbs of health,
    Give me well being, good luck, and wealth.”
  • Repeat this chant until the herbs are well combined and crushed.
  • Add the herbs and oils to the salt in a bowl.
  • Stir with the pointer finger of your dominant hand and say the charm again, until you’ve said it nine times in total.
  • Take a few deep breaths, letting the scent go into your sinus cavities.
  • Open your circle if you’ve cast one and let the candle burn down.
  • Place the bowl in the middle of the room you’re most in and your sinuses should clear.

Spell for Today – Hand of Time Spell

When dealing with a weekly spell guide, Mondays are thought to be the logical day for money, love, time and meditation spells. Since Mondays are thought to be the start of the work week, it gives plenty of time for a Monday spell to gain strength throughout the rest of the week.

Hand of Time Spell

Items you will need:

Both hands
6 fingers

Spell:

Hold both of your hands in front of you. Stare at your hands, noticing your palms and fingers, for about thirty seconds. Then, say this chant one time:

“Palms sweaty,
From watching clocks.
No more.
One finger,
For every ten docked.
Seconds in a minute
1440 in a day.
Stop a few,
For singing birds
And trees that sway.”

This should feel like time has slowed-down and allowed you to appreciate life more.

A Thought for Today

Dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may the Great Mother and Great Father, Lord and Lady, bless you and your family with all things positive!

Pink Iguana hatchlings spotted for the first time on the Galápagos in decades

The Galápagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Ecuador are a playground for biodiversity . Particularly famous for their role in helping Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution in the 1830s and 1840s , it’s home to many species that aren’t found anywhere else on the planet. Giant tortoises, flightless cormorants, and three species of land iguanas are some of the many animals that only call these islands home.

 

One land iguana species is the critically endangered Galápagos Pink Land Iguana ( Conolophus marthae ), which is only found on Isabela Island, one of the 13 major islands in the archipelago. First discovered in 1986 and identified as a new species in 2009 , there are only about 200 to 300 of these photogenic reptiles on the Isabela Island.

For the first time since scientists found the species, hatchling and juvenile populations of the Galápagos Pink Iguana have been found. The iguanas live along the slopes of Isabela Island’s Wolf Volcano and stretch up to 18.5 inches long.

“This discovery marks a significant step forward, which allows us to identify a path going forward to save the Pink Iguana,” said Danny Rueda, the director of the Galápagos National Park, in a statement .

 

One of the most remote spots monitored by the Galápagos National Park, the Wolf Volcano is home to a research and monitoring
