Terrifying!!!

“Report shows that pregnant women were excluded from the trials before they concluded it was safe and effective. They concluded it was safe and effective based on mice and the autopsies of mice fetuses. And horrifically, the Department of Defense data shows that female soldiers’ pregnancies are experiencing an absolutely catastrophic rate of abnormalities and fetal problems…”

— Dr. Naomi Wolf

To associate religions/mythology which have nothing to do with Christianity with it is close minded and will only prevent you from truly learning about said religion/mythology.

There does not always have to be an equivalent to a singular god, a hell or heaven concept, or Bible. Do not let Christianity replace and infiltrate your own personal spirituality.

It is important to discover your own spirituality, path and religion for yourself in the way(s) that work and resonate with you, not the way(s) that you have been told are right. It is important to ask yourself “why do I pray?”, “what does this mean to me?” If you do not know the purpose of your own spirituality and beliefs, are they truly meaningful? Or are you going off of what you think is correct based on what others are doing? It is important to truly find yourself in order to find happiness and your connection with and to this world outside of popular culture and what everyone else is doing.

The modern world is greedy, never satisfied and more harmful than helpful to spirituality and a person’s connection to the world around them and Mother Earth than it is helpful. The average person in average society is not connected to themselves or to nature, they are connected to the Christian church which is only thinly veiled as not being connected to the state (it is). It is important to separate yourself from the values of modern society, from the virus that has been Christianity in suffocating any values that do not align with their own. I admit to still finding my way myself some days, but to never stop committing myself to learning, loyalty and honesty with myself and with others.  Values which become increasingly rare.

Beautiful photos. Looks like true happiness springing from your work and effort.

New Studies Will Investigate The Link Between Covid-19 Vaccines And Irregular Periods

Due to numerous reports of women experiencing irregular periods after taking the Covid-19 vaccine, five American universities will be studying this issue.

Most important piece of info here: The CDC’s claims that no vaccines have been “known” to cause fertility problems are interesting given that the HPV vaccine has been linked to irregular periods and Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI). POI is when the ovaries of women under 40 stop working. 

Medieval Irish Nettle Soup

Today, I’ll be taking a look at a staple of Irish medieval cuisine: the humble nettle soup. Late spring and early Summer is the ideal time to make this dish, as the nettle leaves used here won’t have matured fully, and retain a soft, lighter texture than older woodier leaves. Plus they won’t sting your hands as badly as mature nettles. Plenty of Irish families have their own takes on this recipe, and this is influenced by my family’s take on the tradition!

In any case, let’s now take a look at The World That Was! Follow along with my YouTube video, above!

Ingredients 2-3 cups nettle leaves 1 onion, minced 2-3 cloves garlic (or two bulbs of wild garlic, minced) chives (for decoration) butter ½ cup milk/double cream 500ml water or stock salt pepper

Method

1 - Chop and cook the Garlic and Onion

To begin with, we need to peel and chop a whole onion, before tossing this into a pot with some melted butter. You can of course use oil, but dairy products was (and still is) a major part of Irish culinary traditions - so try and use Irish butter here if you can.

In any case, let your onion sauté away for a couple of minutes until it turns translucent and fragrant. When it hits this point, toss in a couple of cloves of crushed garlic - or some wild garlic if you have any!

2 - Deal with the Nettles Next, ball up some nettles and chop it roughly with a knife. Be careful, as the leaves and stems of this plant has stinging fibres (which will get denatured and broken down when it’s cooking).

Nettles act like spinach when you’re cooking them, so have about 2-3 times more than what you think you’ll need on hand. Add your chopped nettles into the pot, and let them cook down before adding the rest!

3 - Cook Soup When all of your nettle leaves have cooked down, pour in 500ml of soup stock (or water) into the pot. Then, toss in about a half a cup of whole milk, or double cream if you have it. Mix this together gently, before putting this onto a high heat. Bring it to a rolling boil, before turning it down to low until it simmers. Let the whole thing simmer away for about an hour.

Serve up hot in a small bowl, garnish with some chives or seasonal herbs, and dig in!

The finished soup is very light and flavourful, but quite filling for what it is! It’s another variation on a medieval pottage, with ingredients that could have been easily foraged in the spring and summer. As it can be made with only a few ingredients, it could have formed the basis of more complex dishes - such as the addition of more vegetables, or meat products.

Given how little the dish has changed from antiquity to modernity, it’s likely that the basics of this soup go back to pre-historic Irish culinary traditions.
