Good afternoon Pat, we can't see our pavements here at the moment, they are covered in snow. I walked into the village earlier to get my hair cut and the sun was shining, 5 minutes after I got home the snow started coming down. Glad we don't have to go out again.

Iheard earlier in last year that they expected England to have more colder climate, much like New England because of the changing air current patterns. It's sunny here right now. .seems rediculous for  January..we have't had all that much rain for the fact they said it would be here four days and heavy rainfall..what an lie.  I see people lie all the time now...almost as if they live in an non-reality state of life.

I went to the doctor yesterday, an pound and half lighter...then today...but never ate enough to gain it. Everything I was cooking last night was placed in the freezer or downstairs refrigerator last night for the freezer later on. Any way he said to me that he couldn't see any eye damage from the diabetes, but that I have some small cataracts on my eyes, not big enough to operate on right now and said he'd send an test result to  the doctor and see me next year for another annual check up. Everything was blurry for some time afterward. So this morning things are really looking clear to me.

People "move on" and perhaps this is what Sue H has decided to do?  I almost did that to my book "Mist's of Avalon"  the other night...I was perturbed just as was the character in the book...they had this Celtic ritual..and "virgin" Morgaine, who had been priestess raised was chosen to be of age to accept to act as the medium for the "Godess" to come to the ritual through her by way of spirit. She was to copulate with an "horned man" as an deer and take the life of anotheras the the "Great Horned one" by spirit... and in this ..himself an virgin all these years also...this would through the birthing of an physcial child bring on "Spring" and another year and good crops. thye both seemed somewhat in an stupor from others preparing them in body paint, deer atlers and drink...and rituals going on anyway. So this happened...and she lost her virginity...and he did his..and the next morning they woke up to see each other in an non-drugged state....and he turned out to be her younger brother...whom would later be King Authur himself.  Morgraine was absoultely "furious" they had done this to her and her brother whom both were carted off young to be raised by others all these years. She's thinking that Christianity might not be so bad after all, though she dislikes the priest's in most churches. Druids seem to have more of an "knowlege" as they've been around longer in the world...dealt with it longer and said to been from "Atlantis" before it was destroyed. So she goes stopping off to the high priestess, whom is her aunt...and her final so called reason of all this was because " they were an "Royal" family" and not meant to be bound through the spirit of the most high.... by "commoners".  She's still hotter then spurs over it and reading an except form the book in Wikipedia...she's gonna end up pregnant...and bare "Arthur's" son... though he may not know of him for many years to come.  Truth is they were not blood 100 per cent brother and sister but an he was an step bother to her by her mother's second marriage..after her father's death. But this ritual didn't delight me exactly...cause everyone was anbit "off" from drinking potions that night and an little 10 year old girl got caught up in this hord of real men dressed as "deer" when they came running down the hillside to copultate..so you guessed it, some guy raped her...we leave her listening ot her screams in the night.  That throughly disgusted me to no witsend also in the book. Though I've been reading such things for some time doing research work into the royal lines around the world in general, supposedly the kids were betrothed to an suitable age..but to some that met the women were little girls yet ....while their male mates were 18 and there's an huge age difference.  Except in King Henry VII's time...he was 13, and his first wife washis brother..named "Authur" widow and she was indeed an woman 20 some years older then he was...and one reason he wanted his divorce from Katherine of Aragon...even if she was influenial in Europe and particularly France. Indeedshe was for the most part of past child bearing age while he was in his prime.  I am glad we don't do things like that these days. Ot least I hope we don't.  It was unfair to all involved.  I've read several books form the MIddle East of father's betrothing thier young daughters...... to men old enough to be their grandfathers, for politcal and money connections...and something the young rebel against these days also. For some of them, they commit sucide to escape even in these days. At any rate, I still couldn' t get myself to pick up the book last night and continue reading it. I'll have to give it some time off an bit.  The book was an farvorite in its day..even made into an TV series at one time. It was the first time said to see the " life" of women back in the period. It came out at an time when also women's rights brought into the thought of an "Great Goddess" as well and the creator father image to religion.  But I known for some time that the Hopi  Native Americans have an ritual of dance using deer horns in it also...I hope it's nothing more then an dance. for the concept of this "spring ritual" stuff I think was more common then just in England in years prior, they do go back to ancient times. Probably Stonehenge even...I will leave that up to the archealogist's perhaps for now. Indeed my mother died one year for me to bring home my infant son the next in late "Spring"....but we didn't plan it that way...seh died on her own beforehand. It's been sad, my son has never know either of his grandmother's. In ways, neither have I on my parents but an couple short visits during my lifetime. I guess that's why I am like I am with my grandkids today...in whanting to know more about thier lives in general and be an part of them. Ithink to protect them more so also with the world we have out there these days and working parents. I go for now. Get back to doing something as another weekend comes.  I made wild rice cream soup last night with three kinds of meat in it,  Herb buttered cheese biscuits.... and the Kaluha chocolate pie and have an orange sponge cake receipe with fresh berries to make, and green salad is made at the moment we eat all this, so they can eat as they want on some of it...so talk later on

I see all kinds of spelling mistakes I didn't make...includes the name of King Henry VIII...Donna or Joan..perhaps an "Maragret" by way of spirit.. as they are the beginning of the family in all things...another "lie"..Margt. is bound and determined to be number one person to everyone else in most family legacy I do find...hum..... Nothing like an wish to be your ownself these days?. We have this little thing going on in the family also of "same names" and they like to jump back and forth in that also when it's advantageous to do so.  Did you know there were 365,000 "Shirley's" over here..in the USA...well there are according to the so called "name people" data. Maybe an few of them can keep them busy in reguard to me..and  what they want to control in my life? Two have passed on as it is supposedly physically.

I watched two shows tonight on "Ancient Aleins" that has given me an insight into this book I'm reading and came at an good timing.  First one was an show about thier supposed alein bases on island's around the world, of which "Avalon" could figure into an real existence perhaps, and then seocnd was the brother marrying the sister...and this apparenlty happened with "Horus and Isis" in tales.."the Gods"...and that show went on to explain the thought behind the term "Royal Blood". It was discussed with Queen Elizabeth also.  I might add that they have since found DNA which points to royal blood lines in leadership and those without. I find that Queen Elizabeth was crowned when I was five years old. She was 27 at that time. Five is an number that stands for humanity in general and all life and when it's added to itself..... gives an person an higher calling each time to God...and to perfection of the soul.  No wonder my doctor told me at this age coming out of surgery from having my tonsils taken out that I had the most beautiful eyes for an little girl..perhaps he perceived the number 5. Though I've been told things like that before in other instances.  An 9 (2 +7=9) is also an "jesus" number in the bible.  It's usualy an representation of his thoughts also.

So I would guess that this ritual I was reading about was perhaps an real ritual of the era in "Celtic" history and one that came down to them in thier religion with an heavy emphisis on the Egyptian thoughts of the day. I will not question this right now, but I have always felt that "love" should be the basis for sex with another...... with an heavy emphasis on childbearing was the sanction of the act by way of God's thoughts on it all.  Jesus states, an man grows up and makes his own house, he takes on an wife out of love, and God binds them to him through their child bearing together as "One" with him..in marriage. You can blame the church I went to when I was five, cause that's when I got my first bible...Sunday school. But as to this book...I think Morgaine is going to be unhappy with her pregancy and I hate to see children born as political and money "Pawns" in the world.  It should of been an happy time for them, not what it has turned out...so far...mostly disillusionment of their Celtic religion...and abandoment of the child rearing by the father, possibly the mother also in this book as I read further on....though given the time era, it happened quite often and death was something that at this time was constantly going on anyway.

Ancient aleins seems to point that indeed "Royal Bloodlines" are guided by an God if not some kind of outside source in the heavens. People are picked to lead their nations for special reasons besides thier own ambitions. They serve all of mankind through their works..and they are tied to "God" in thier works. He whom shall be greatest amoung you are also the servants of all.  The last shall be first and the first shall be last. But it is, these people are generally in the same lineage line and not someone that just happens to come along and make themselves the "dictator" or ruler of their era either. They said that even George Washington had "royal blood" in him, so I'll have to look that one up. You know people expected him after the Rev. War to make himself the new King...and hesaid...from now on the people will determine thier own fate.  He refused to be an king to anyone. He was an templar...and they serve thier God first and always you know. Even though we at times don' t understand it. While they have families they are often enstranged from them also, because they serve "God" before themselves and family. Benjamin Franklin seems to fit this in practice.

At any rate...I close this for now...and see what becomes of the book. If I'd went over to Wikipedia to begin with on "The mists of Avalon" I wouldn't have to be reading the book I guess you all know.  Four time award winner, TV series at one time, it's been read in the past by an good number of people.
