Witches in a Mundane World

Hail and welcome!

I have had to have surgery! I had a screw loose in my ankle. Of course those who know me always figured I had at least one screw loose.

I get the stiches out next week. Lady, will I be glad. Then I will be clomping around for a week or so in one of those stylish velcro and strap moon boots! Great time around here.

Anyway, the beauty of fall is all around these parts. The sky is blue and leaves have begun to fall while gardens ready for the coming rest. This is to me the most perfect time of year. You can open the windows and hear birdsong on the cool breeze. There's time for a peacefull bicycle ride or just sitting out enjoying your favorite friends and whatever.

Harvest time is all the proof anyone should ever need to know that the Gods made us for this place!

Speaking of the Gods. Have you heard that the astrophysicists have finally figured out how much matter & energy exist in the universe!

A number of super computer simulations were used to fast forward from the big bang to today. Only one recipe produced a map of the universe which matched ours.

It turns out to be rather surprising. The matter and energy that we can see or measure are called brite. While the matter and energy we can not see or measure, yet, is called dark. So the simulation works out this way: Brite matter and energy constitue about 4 percent of the universe. Dark matter is responsible for approximately 21 percent. The remaining 75 percent of the universe is Dark energy!

There has been theoretical speculation that brite matter is a projection, like a hologram, from dark matter and/or dark energy.

By the way, with this information and M theory, the grand unifying theory of everything, simulations have now been run backwards in time to the big bang and beyond!

The results tell us that our universe is a bubble, called a brane, which floats in an ocean of other similar bubbles!

All of this makes forgetting to take out the trash hardly worthy of lifting an eyebrow.

With 96 percent of the universe made up of dark matter and dark energy there is plenty of room for things we don't yet understand from a scientific perspective. So perhaps the muggles will come to be a little more accepting of Goddesses, Gods, Magick and all of the rest. My fear is that they will only become more fearfull of what they can't grasp or understand.

With religous zealots everywhere we will need to be sure to practise our Craft, follow the Reed in all things, celebrate the seasons and speak to our Gods. We need to be grounded and clear as tough times are coming.

The pause in gas prices is a sucker punch for the masses! The intent is to crush the move to clean renewable energy and to help Republicans win in November. Are we really that foolish?

Leading up to the elections I will post weekly speaking to topics I think are important to Witches in a Mundane World!

Stay tuned.

Until next time,

Blessed be,

Stormy
