Are there Darwin Awards for Squirrels?
Or would that be redundant? Here on Atira Moon we make it a point to talk to all of the animals and we have had some amazing experiences. Today when I was leaving to run errands, I (ahem) “ran into” this little fella. I stopped the truck completely when it stopped in the middle of… Read more »
Days of DRY (Part 4)
The grass was cut, rolled up and baled. It was an astonishing yield. Truly. These are giant, heavy, tightly rolled bales of prairie hay weighing at least 1000 lbs each. No way. No way could we have gotten that many bales out of this farm. But we did. I drove around, and walked around the… Read more »
Days of DRY (Part 3)
Putting up hay. Its that time of year bales start to appear in fields across the country and I have been thinking so much about the land. Farmers and ranchers have been cutting and saving grass to feed their livestock for centuries. It’s the time of year when you think about the growing season and… Read more »
Days of DRY (part 2)
How did I omit “heat” from this blog post title? God knows. Its been inhumanly hot. The kind of hot where you go outside and whatever you were planning on doing just melts your brain along with your resolve about being ANY kind of productive. (okay, never mind my goal, turn around, go back inside,… Read more »
Days of DRY (Part 1)
Our Farm, Atira Moon, is surrounded by other farms, other pastures, other pieces of prairie. Most, if not all of the farmland in our county is “conventional”, meaning the crops are genetically modified and are treated with chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Bulter County is also oil country, and there are oil wells and pump jacks… Read more »
Solstice Wrap Up and Have you heard the Hum?
At the end of the evening of Summer Solstice, Marcia was smiling, but I think a bit tired, and I don’t blame her. We had a very full day and Marcia had the fewest moments to herself. I shooed her out of the kitchen after her kind offer to help finish tidying up and off… Read more »
Mowing, Openmindedness, and a Dove Brings a Message
The field around the Sacred Circle Site needed mowing again. It was a cool morning yesterday and I had just enough time before my regression appointment to get most of it taken care of. As is my habit, I thought I would listen to Coast to Coast while sitting on the tractor. I began mowing… Read more »
Solstice Notes, and a Message from the Grandmother to the Grandmothers
The following notes were taken after I attended each public session of Source in Silence on the Summer Solstice of 2011 at Atira Moon Farm. 7am session-Vibrant purple and aqua energy emanates from Marcia like a giant aura. She disappeared quite a lot from my vision. I saw Light beams connect to the sky, facets… Read more »
Solstice Recap – Manifesting.
In many ways Summer Solstice 2011 at Atira Moon was an extraordinary event. Of course the Source in Silence Sessions conduited by Marcia McCoy were without comparison. We had full circles for each of the three public time slots, and all of the private sessions were also filled. We had several people who traveled quite… Read more »
Catching Up: Pre Solstice Beetle Story Part 2
I’ve always been taken with the term “high strangeness”. I think its an appropriate term for the beetle invasion of the circle. Not only because of that particular event but, because of other things happening within, nearby and with the circle itself. It was time to directly ask for more information about why the beetles… Read more »
Catching Up: Pre Solstice Beetle Story Part 1
The morning of June 15, I was making my way into the circle for meditation. This was an eclipse day and I was going to participate in a group “fire” meditation in conjunction with Children of the Sun. As I made my way near the circle I noticed some striped beetles here and there, wondering… Read more »
