On June 15, in the year 1215 AD, the King of England was an involuntary “guest” of a group of forty rather angry Barons in a field at Runnymede. After the Barons explained “the facts of life” to him, King John affixed his Seal to a document they called the Magna Carta. In those days, documents were not signed, as is the custom today. Instead of a signature, the official Seal of the person “signing” was impressed into hot wax poured onto the document.
King John consented to the Baron’s demands, sealing the document in hope of averting a civil war. Ten weeks later, Pope Innocent III proclaimed the Magna Carta document null and void, plunging England into a civil war the King and Barons had hoped to avoid. Fortunately, for posterity and the law, King John died before Pope Innocent III’s decree became law. He died only 15 months after sealing the Magna Carta.
Although this magnificent document did not solve King John’s immediate problems, it was reissued in multiple copies after his death, and was read to the people throughout England. In fact, when the first English settlers landed on the shores of Colonies around the world, they took their rights with them.
Years later, when the American Colonies decided to break away from control by England, the writers of the Declaration of Independenceand new Constitution had the rights first enumerated in the Magna Carta very much in mind.
I don’t do many pedophilia stories, as it is very distressing and the practice of child abuse is at epidemic proportions. The Guardian newspaper in England said a few days ago, that pedophiles are misunderstood, and a committee of psychiatrists said pedophilia is a mental disorder and that it should not be criminalized….and the Pope said pedophilia is normal, which it may be in the Vatican, but not out here in the real world.
Just over 400-years ago today, a group of 13 conspirators was caught trying to assassinate King James I of England and blow up the House of Lords in what became known as the Gunpowder Treason.
I was about half way down the trail to the cliffs edge, when I felt like I was spun around and pushed off of my feet. I was airborne for what felt like a long time. I landed hard, solely on my left scapula, and facing in the opposite direction. (now how did I do that?) I heard the pop as a rib cracked under the pressure of my entire left chest area being compressed flat as a pancake.
The sun, when it rises on solstice morning, goes through the rock circle on the east side and lights up the Heel Stone (the rock on the west side). This is why the Heel Stone is so important. But just now . . . the Star Elders shifted my perception and helped me realized something. So I hope you can follow this: the Heal Stone solstice marker is working now. The sun in solstice sunrise is illuminating the Heel Stone. This is not a big deal until you place this in the context of what they want me to tell you next.
