The Voice of the Ancient Celts

In recent years, modern archeology has been successful in reconstructing an echo of the "voice" of the ancient Celts. Facets of Celtic society, economy, and religion completely ignored by Classical texts have been brought to light. The classical image of Celtic life describes barbaric men and women dressed in uncured animal skins in primitive villages, people who worshipped strange deities and whose lives were consumed in blood feuds. Because of the authority of the classical authors, these ancient misconceptions were pervasive. They are visible, for example, hundreds of years later in some of the Shakespearean characters that people Cymbelline and King Lear.

The Human Energy Field

Everything that is alive pulsates with energy adn all of this energy contains information. While it is not surprising that practitioners of alternative or complementary medicine accept this concept, even some quantum physicists acknowledge the existence of an electromagnetic field generated by the body's biological processes. Scientists accept that the human body generates electricity because living tissue generates energy.

Your physical body is surrounded by an energy field that extends as far out as your outstretched arms and the full length of your body. It is both an information center and a highly sensitive perceptual system. We are constantly in communication with everything around us through this system, which is a kind of conscious electricity that transmits and receives messages to and from other people's bodies. these messages from and within the energy field are what intuitives perceive.

Practitioners of energy medicine believe that the human energy field contains and reflects each individual's energy. It surrounds us and carries with us the emotional energy created by our internal and external experiences ~ both positive and negative. This emotional force influences the physical tissue within our bodies. In this way your biography (that is, the experiences that make up your life) becomes your biology.

Experiences that carry emotional energy in our energy systems include: past and present relationships, both personal and professional; profound or traumatic experiences and memories; and belief patterns and attitudes, including all spiritual and superstitious beliefs. The emotions from these experiences become encoded in our biological systems and contribute to the formation of our cell tissue, which then generates a quality of energy that reflects those emotions. These languages, which carries literal and symbolic information that a medical intuitive can read.

Here is an example of the kind of message the energy field may communicate. Let's say you had some trouble with math when you were in elementary school. Knowing the fact that twelve makes a dozen would not ordinarily carry an enotional charge such as would alter the health of cell tissues. On the other hand, if you were humiliated by the teacher because you didn't know that fact, the experience would carry an emotional charge that would create cellular damage, especially if you were to dwell on that memory through adulthood or use it as a touchstone for determining how to deal with criticism, or authority figures, or education, or failure. An intuitive might pick up the literal image of your exchange with the teacher or any other negative symbol linked to that experience.

Positive images and the energy of positive experiences are also held in the energy field. Think of a time when someone praised you for a job well done, or a kind act, or for some help you gave someone. You feel a positive energy ~ a surge of personal power within your body. Positive and negative experiences register a memory in cell tissue as well as in the energy field. Neuropeptides are the chemicals that are triggered by emotions ~ are thoughts converted into matter. Our emotions reside physically in our bodies and interacts with our cells and tissues.

You can no longer separate the mind from the body. Sometimes the body responds emotionally and manufactures emotionally and manufactures emotional chemicals even before the brain has registered a problem. Remember, for instance, how quickly your body reacts to a loud noise before you've had time to think. Your mind is in every cell of your body.

Manchu Mandarin with Mineral Stones

In 1766 the Manchu Emperor issued a series of strict dress regulations. Blue became the dynastic color, replacing the red robes of the Ming dynasty. Only the Imperial family wore yellow. Everyone else wore blue, even down to peasants in indigo-dyed cotton.

The ranks of the Mandarins, both civil and military, were proclaimed by highly sophisticated dress code from which it was forbidden to deviate. Those of the first, second and third ranks had nine four-clawed dragons embroidered on their robes. The fourth to sixth ranks had eight dragons, and the seventh to ninth, five dragons. The type of girdle clasp and the button at the apex of the hat also showed rank as follows:

First Rank: clasp, Jade set with Rubies; button, transparent Ruby. Second Rank: gold set with Rubies; opaque Coral. Third Rank: worked Gold; transparent Sapphire. Fourth Rank: worked gold with opaque Lapis Lazuli; silver. Fifth Rank: worked gold with transparent Crystal; plain silver. Sixth Rank: Mother of Pearl; opaque Jade. Seventh Rank: silver; plain gold. Eighth Rank: clear Horn; worked gold with shou characters. Ninth Rank: buffalo Horn; worked gold with two shou characters.

Baltic Amber Fossil, Tertiary Age, Russia

Amber is fossilized plant resin. As the name implies, Baltic Amber is abundant along the shores of the Baltic Sea, particularly around the Samland Promontory of Russia.

In the early Tertiary age, forests of the estinct tree pinus succinifera flourished on a land mass south of the Samland region. During the middle Tertiary age the area was flooded and the resin from the trees was washed out and redeposited in marine sediments in the Samland area. These sediments have been reworked and the Amber was subsequently redeposited in areas along the shores of the Baltic Sea.

As Amber has a low density, it can be carried by water in suspension and is generally deposited in low energy environments such as lakes, submarine basins, and estuaries.

Around 98 percent of the Baltic Amber biota were flying insects (as the image above - a butterfly species). Diptera, two-winged flying insects, dominated the fauna of the Baltic Amber, accounting for approximately half of the organisms. Extremely rare mammal hairs, an almost complete lizard, snails, and bird feathers account for the remaining 2 percent.

The Baltic Amber fossils are important as they show the morphology and Paleontology in extremely fine detail and also provide information, development and climate conditions of ancient organisms in which they once lived.

Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli is a stone of the kind that might have come straight out of the Arabian Nights: a deep blue with golden inclusions of pyrites which shimmer like starts.

This opaque, deep blue gemstone has a grand past. It was among the first gemstones to be worn as jewelry and worked on. At excavations in the ancient centers of culture around the Mediterranean, archaeologists have again and again found among the grave furnishings, decorative chains and figures made of Lapis Lazuli ~ clear indications that the deep blue stone was already popular thousands of years ago among the people of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia, Greece and Rome.

It is said that the legendary city of Ur on the Euphrates plied a keen Lapis Lazuli trade as long ago as the fourth millennium B.C., the material coming to the land of the two great rivers from the famous deposits in Afghanistan. In other cultures, Lapis Lazuli was regarded as a holy stone. Particularly in the Middle East, it was thought to have healing powers. Countless signet rings, scarabs and figures were wrought from the blue stone which Alexander the Great brought to Europe. There, the color was referred to as 'ultramarine', which means something like "from beyond the sea".

Metal & Mineral Warning

Aluminum ~

Aluminum, the most widespread metal in the earth's crust., It is a trace mineral that is also found in food and natural food supplements. However, it is liable to cause harm and toxicity in the body.

Large quantities of Aluminum have been found in the brain of people who died from Altzeimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and researchers believe that this is directly linked to the diseases (as other toxicities),  as a result of the absorption of Aluminum into the tissue.

Aluminum is found in antacids, which also cause a shortage of vitamins A and B1, and other medications (alumina/magnesia), which also cause a shortage of Iron and Phosphates. When you take these medications (and you should always avoid doing so), you should also take Brewer's Yeast, (live) yogurt, and acidophilus with digestive enzymes.

Aluminum is also found in aluminum salts of Fluorine, which are enemies of Fluorine itself! It is found in processed cheese, in aluminum pots and pans, and products such as foil. The use of these objects causes Aluminum to penetrate into the body. The use of cooking utensils and others made of Aluminum should be avoided entirely, especially in heating or cooking. Use stainless steel, glass, etc., instead. Consider this a warning!


Cadmium ~

Cadmium is a soft, gray-white metal. In nature, it is linked to minerals with Zinc. In industry, it regulates the operation of atomic reactors. Cadmium salts are used for manufacturing yellow paints. this metal is a toxic substance that is found in pesticides and enamel coating. It reaches human beings by means of vegetables and grains, mainly, as well as water that has been softened by chemicals, or mulluscs and oysters.

The signs of Cadmium toxicity include: ateroschlorosis, emphysemia, and chronic bronchitis, high blood pressure; heart disease; and anemia due to a shortage of  Iron.

You can protect yourself against Cadmium toxicity by eating foods that are rich in Zinc (such as: pumpkin seeds, nuts, etc.), because Zinc is a Cadmium antagonist; taking vitamin C, which is the specific defense; by avoiding using utensils with enamel coatings (use glass or stainless steel instead); by avoiding white flour products from which Zinc has been extracted (during the whitening process), and only the Cadmium remains; if possible, by drinking filtered water or mineral/natural water, and not water from the faucet; by decreasing your consumption of coffee and black tea, as Cadmium is found in both of them; and by totally avoiding decaf coffee!


Stronium ~

This element is metallic where proportions resemble those of Calcium. It is found in the earth and in spring water. Stratium salts are used for fireworks (they produce a red fire). Nuclear experiments around the world caused the spread of the radioactive substance, Stronium-90, and scientists claim that every human being has already absorbed quantites of it. This dangerous radioactive substance accumulates in bones during the person's lifetime, and operates like an x-ray in the body.

Stronium-90 has the following signs of toxicity: anemia and lukemia, bone cancer, and other forms of cancer.

You can protect yourself against toxicity by consuming the following: seawead and fruit pectin. - Which binds to the toxins in the intestines and prevents them from being absorbed; Calcium and Magnesium; yogurt and other fermented dairy products; vitamin B complex; lecithin; and other anti-oxidant vitamins.


Sulphur ~

Sulphur is used for the production of Sulphuric acid. The chemical and pharmaceutical industries, the rubber and paper industries consume large quantities of Sulphuric acid. Native Sulphur frequently occurs in volcanic areas originating from gases and thermal springs.

Sulphur is the raw material for the production of Sulphuric acid and is the basic material for the manufacture of insecticides.


Arsenic ~

Arsenic is an ore mineral that is used for pest control, in tanning, in pharmaceuticals, and in cosmetics. Some Arsenic compounds are very poisonous.

Mineralogy of Mars Soil is Similar to Soils of Volcanic Origin in Hawaii

This graphic shows results of the first analysis of Martian soil by the Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin) experiment on NASA’s Curiosity rover. The image reveals the presence of crystalline feldspar, pyroxenes and olivine mixed with some amorphous (non-crystalline) material. The soil sample, taken from a wind-blown deposit within Gale Crater, where the rover landed, is similar to volcanic soils in Hawaii. Curiosity scooped the soil on Oct. 15, 2012, the 69th sol, or Martian day, of operations. It was delivered to CheMin for X-ray diffraction analysis on October 17, 2012, the 71st sol. By directing an X-ray beam at a sample and recording how X-rays are scattered by the sample at an atomic level, the instrument can definitively identify and quantify minerals on Mars for the first time. Each mineral has a unique pattern of rings, or “fingerprint,” revealing its presence. The colors in the graphic represent the intensity of the X-rays, with red being the most intense. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Ames

The minerals were identified in the first sample of Martian soil ingested recently by the rover. Curiosity used its Chemistry and Mineralogy instrument (CheMin) to obtain the results, which are filling gaps and adding confidence to earlier estimates of the mineralogical makeup of the dust and fine soil widespread on the Red Planet.

The identification of minerals in rocks and soil is crucial for the mission’s goal to assess past environmental conditions. Each mineral records the conditions under which it formed. The chemical composition of a rock provides only ambiguous mineralogical information, as in the textbook example of the minerals diamond and graphite, which have the same chemical composition, but strikingly different structures and properties.
CheMin uses X-ray diffraction, the standard practice for geologists on Earth using much larger laboratory instruments. This method provides more accurate identifications of minerals than any method previously used on Mars. X-ray diffraction reads minerals’ internal structure by recording how their crystals distinctively interact with X-rays.

These NASA technological advances have resulted in other applications on Earth, including compact and portable X-ray diffraction equipment for oil and gas exploration, analysis of archaeological objects and screening of counterfeit pharmaceuticals, among other uses.
