2010 - “The Year We Make Contact” - What a head trip
This last year has been amazing. Turning thirty in January, combined with a late Saturn return, really got me reflecting on my life in new ways. Become a new father was one of those ways. Watching Teyan go from an infant to a little toddler has been a priceless experience. It has been so fun and rewarding to watch her explore this world. She brings us so much joy. We just had her first birthday and we celebrated with family and friends. The heat has finally arrived in GrassValley so we have been making a lot of excursions to the river for cooling off purposes. We did get out to the lost coast this spring which was amazing. In May of 2012, there will a solar eclipse directly passing over Northern California. We plan on being at a gathering of friends and family in Petrolia for it. Adventures in Beekeeping
Speaking of eclipses, on this last eclipse (July 12th) I extracted my first honey of the year. I have been spending a lot of time with our 6 beehives this year. We have three different types of honey bees. One hive has a Russian Queen, another hive just can’t seem to stay queen right (the last Queen was a Carniolan), and the rest are a mix of Italian mongrels. The mongrels, the ones with the most diverse genetic heritage, are doing the best and we just recently extracted 5 gallons of blackberry honey from their supers. Although, I have been a beekeeper for about 5 years, and have always enjoyed it, this year I came down with an epic case of “bee-fever,” which has caused me to pretty much become obsessed with everything about beekeeping. I can definitely see myself doing this for dozens of years to come and next year I hope to have about 10 – 15 hives. Of course our little apiary is gifted with homemade Orgonite. This year will be the big test to see if having orgonite nearby cuts down on the death rate of hives due to CCD. In California the death rate is 30-50% a year. I still have some honey for sale but it’s going fast. The honey is 100% raw, unfiltered, and unheated. We live outside town and no one around us uses pesticides. The honey is $8 an pint, $15 a quart, and $28 a half gallon. Click here if you are interested.
Change in TB’s We recently invested in 100 lbs of Tibetan quartz crystals. These crystals are truly amazing; they range in ¼” to 3” long. Many of them have hydro’s, most are double terminated, all of them are ideal for orgonite. So I raised the price of TB’s a little and they will all be getting these double terminated wonders. I also want to make them available to everyone so I am selling them for $13 a pound. I also have them sorted so you can choose small, medium or large. Also, for $23 a pound I have only the best A+ of these Tibetan crystals. 1 lbs. of Tibetan Quartz or 1 lbs. of A+ Tibetan Quartz
Introducing Humble Fabrics
Roxanne has been working very hard to get her new business up and running. We are very excited about opening her store in Cedar Ridge. We should have it opened around the first week in August. Please checkout her website; www.Humblefabrics.com and stop bye if you’re in the area.
New Projects I’ve been making a lot of pendants lately. It’s hard to make orgonite in the winter so I’m trying to build up an inventory of pendants. That’s why the pendant pages have been getting so much attention. You can check out what I’ve been up to here. The new seed of life pendants have got me pretty excited. They feel incredible. The seed of life disks are now being made with Magnetite chips. I use a neodymium magnet to get all the chips arranged in the mold which I think make them even stronger energetically. Magnetite, like Hematite which comes from it, encourages the spiritual to become manifest or physical. It is an actualizing mineral that contains iron which makes it perfect for an orgonite pendant. I’ve also been playing around with Opal these days and find it very interesting. The white precious Opal that I am using is a crystal that spiritualizes the lessons we have to learn through our emotional bodies. Together with magnetite, I am noticing a heightened awareness of my need to release emotions and be open to whatever may happen to be taking place in the now. Here’s a recent pendant with those two together. Someday soon we will finish our 7” Flower of Life mold and then will be able to make large chargers with it. Those are going to be awesome. I’ll have pictures as soon as they are ready.
I hope everyone out there is enjoying their summer and filling this world with positive, loving thoughts and deeds. There are people out there that want us all to live in fear because it keeps us complacent and easily controlled. But if we stay centered and connected to our hearts the change we wish to see in the world begins to manifest through us. There is a war going on out there but it is a war of frequency. Stay in tune with your own heart, and the victory is assured. Warm blessings to you all, Branch |
