My Farm
A Short Tale about Adam and Dowsing
Last summer our son Dylan and his best friend Adam came to visit Atira Moon. It was wonderful to see them, and particularly nice to have two strong healthy young men available to pitch in with chores. The first day of their visit we were contemplating what sorts of things to accomplish. Number one on…
Read MoreOur "Couples" Regression Part 2
Guest Post by Tom Goldman (Continued from yesterday) To recap…Candace and I recently did a tandem regression session with Annie as our facilitator. We experienced a life together in a time that appeared to be in the 1500-1600’s where she took form in a woman named Shira, who had special abilities and I was punished…

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…

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…

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 MoreDays 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 MoreSolstice 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 MoreMowing, 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…
