A young mom with a kid that I know sent me this screenshot. Her kid has Medicaid Humana insurance and this is what they emailed her. It’s shocking that something so obvious is so invisible to so many. Obviously if we were in the middle of a real pandemic crisis, people would be dropping dead all over the place, and everyone would be waiting hours if not days in line to get this life saving vaccine. The government wouldn’t need to bride anyone with $20 to get the vaccine

Hermes' cave at the gymnasium of Thera, Greece - Frédéric Daniel Boissonnas Baud-Bovy (1919)

On the east side of mount Ziria, at an altitude of 1750 meters, famous Hermes Cave is located. According to the myth, in that cave the god Hermes, the son of Zeus and Maia, was born. The cave was the sacred center of the region and in the ancient times people were visiting it to honor god Hermes, and to ask him for help. @GreekLeague

Taranis, the Thunderer

The Celtic ‘Thunder-God’ Taranis, is mentioned from nine inscriptions found in Italy, Germany, Hungary, Croatia, France and Belgium.
His title, as first recorded by Marcus Annaeus Lucanus, or more well known as the poet ‘Lucan’ designates Taranis as the ‘Thunderer’ or perhaps ‘Thunder’ in his writing. “…whose altar is no more benign than that of Scythian Diana.”
He is depicted in antiquity by Lucanus as comparable to the Roman deity Jupiter.
Statues and art displaying Taranis almost always includes a held lightning bolt and a spiral, which could indicate the lightning flash, or a solar wheel.

The wheel was believed by the Celts to spin on the cosmic axis, creating sparks that produce lightning.
With written, linguistic, and artistic depictions of Taranis, we can be reasonably certain that he is a quick-tempered and physically strong thunder god who is one of leaders, and possibly one of the chief deities in the Celtic pantheon .

The Bern Scholia, also known as the Commenta Bernensia, are commentary notes in a 10th century manuscript, in which Taranis is described as a “master of war.”
The association of Taranis with Fire is alluded to from Augustus Caesar's words; “the fire of the skies: the Sun, and the fire of the air: lightning and its voice thunder, giving the god his name, Taranis.”
It seems more likely that Taranis was firstly a weather deity, associated with storms and more specifically the thunder and lightning that accompanies them.
His most famous depiction is imprinted on the Gundestrup Caludron alongside other deities of Celtic origin.
In Celtic mythology, the mighty god of storms and thunder travels the world at great speeds using his wheel to produce lightning.
Galdr is a spiritual way of singing, of using your voice. For instance for the High Seat Ritual there was a certain way of chanting according to the sources. This chant got lost in history😕. However i pariticipated in a High Seat Ritual and as long as chanting is in harmony with the singer or the group of singers it works. That's the key! I am not a good singer but if i do shamanic journeying or contacting a deity i use galdr in combination with a staff or a rattle. Just letting myself being guided by my voice. Fast, slow, loud , gently, deep or higher....just tune in with yourself and your deity. Feel what the galdr is doing to your body and mind.This is what brings a different state of mind that makes journeying or contacting a deity possible. Forget about mushrooms if you are new to this....first learn the basics of journeying using galdr and a staff and above all grounding yourself.

In these groves, which were regularly located on mountain heights, as the Allenbergs, still named in Swabia today, prove, and at the usual cult sites, the Swabians prayed to the gods and offered them their sacrifices. Animals of all kinds were sacrificed, especially horses, the noblest and most distinguished sacrificial animals, and bulls, as well as beer and images of gods made from dough. The latter have been preserved to this day in the Klausenbroden, with which the children are presented on the days of St. Nicholas, who represents the gift-giving god Fro. These offerings were always accompanied by a sacrificial feast.
The best part, especially the heads of the sacrificed bulls and horses, belonged to the god and was placed on trees or raised on poles in the holy place for him, the rest was eaten together by the sacrificial congregation. The same thing happened with the offering of drinks: everyone who took part in the sacrificial feast poured out a part of the drink in honour of the god to be celebrated, and only then did he drink. This was called Minne, i.e. drinking the memory of the gods. A dark reminder of these ancient sacrificial communities is the custom of sending a portion of the harvest meal or of the animal slaughtered for the winter to the neighbours and relatives.

An old Swabian sacrificial site was undoubtedly located at Roßhaupten, and to be exact one dedicated to Wuotan; for even today the people there have the "Jägerhansel" (huntsman) ride along the Senkele, the ridge between Roßhaupten and Hopfen, on a headless white horse, cheering the people and leading them astray; but this ghostly rider is nothing but a distortion of Wuotan, as it recurs endlessly in all German lands.
Even the name Roßhaupten indicates this ancient sacrificial site, for it is certainly derived from the mounted heads of the horses sacrificed there.
The legend of St. Magnus also gives us an idea of the significance of this place, as it tells us that a fierce dragon lived in Roßhaupten and ate the horses of those passing by, sending the latter on as pedestrians. Here, as is so often the case in legends, the horse-sacrificing Wuotan has simply degenerated into an evil demon, a devilish dragon.

It's important to be active and not reactive. Be one step ahead.
We already know their methods and goals. It's time we not only push back but also push ahead. Make use of the system crash. Rebuild the world around you. People will follow. Don't worry about everyone else. Ignore their propaganda threats, it's there to demoralize us and make us believe we're already defeated.

We are creators and we are made to survive in harsh conditions. This is our time to thrive, this is why we're here.
Build your tribe, build your family, build yourself.

We're not going back to what we once had and that is a good thing. We were never truly free. We now have a unique opportunity to break free from the system and "build back better" - our way. And I know the future is bright because we are creators and they only know how to destroy. So if enough people refuse to create their dystopic vision, our creation is the only possible outcome.

Mind your attention; thoughts turn into action. Where focus goes, energy flows.
The video clip below is one interview from the 60th session of the Corona Investigative Committee, livestreamed on July 9, 2021, which can be found at Corona Ausschuss – Ausweichkanal channel.
In this interview, Dr. David Martin shares a summary of his decades of research related to this global takeover via “scientific and message control”, following a trail left via US patents. His company M-CAM has reviewed the over 4,000 patents that have been issued around SARS coronavirus, including a comprehensive review of the financing.
Contributing to the conversation are Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg,  Attorney Viviane Fischer and Prof. Martin Schwab (legal advisor to Corona Investigative Committee). See below for partial transcript and links.
As I have said many times before, the wealthy people in power who call the common people of the world “worthless eaters” or “earth’s cancer”, because a large majority of today’s common people are greedy, careless, perverted, destroying organic life and nature, and polluting the earth, have only themselves and their ancestors to blame for this.

After all it was the ancestors of modern ruling class who brought down the old pagan world order, and destroyed all indigenous populations on earth, including all indigenous European/ Nordic ethnic tribes and kingdoms.

It was the ancestors of today’s ruling class who brought genocide, disease and famine upon the native populations of the world, forcing them to give up their native folk faiths that taught them how to live right, how to raise families, how to live in harmony with nature, and respect organic life and Mother Earth, and instead forced a foreign Abrahamism on them that taught them that the earth is Satan’s kingdom, and that this earth doesn’t matter because people must strive to break free from this world and ascend into some abstract heaven.

Abrahamism didn’t teach people that the earth is divine and sacred like the folk faiths of all indigenous populations use to teach them.

Abrahamism presented the earthly realm as a negative place, a place of punishment where Adam & Eve were banished to after they’ve committed the original sin.

Abrahamism, especially Christianity in all of it’s forms mostly focused on the afterlife, and not on this life, in this body, on this earth. If Abrahamism/Christianity did talk about this life than it was always regarding the preparation for the afterlife.

The very symbol of Christianity is death, it’s a dead Jesus on a cross. I can go on & on pointing out specific examples of why Abrahamism/Christianity brought in a completely different worldview and consciousness from the one that was here before the coming of Abrahamism/Christianity, when the people of the earth lived separated by many many different, unique ethnic tribes and kingdoms, and all of those different native, indigenous people around the world had their own native folk faith, which were all pretty much nature-based spiritualities.

Today we collectively call all of those folk faiths “paganism”. All of those native folk faiths taught their people to love and respect the earth, live in harmony with nature, and in alignment with natural cycles.

It taught them to be the caretakers of their local organic environment and ecosystem.

So you can see how the world gradually changed when the folk faiths and indigenous populations were destroyed, replaced by Abrahamic religions, later followed by materialistic science, urbanization and industrialization, not to mention generations being programmed and psychologically manipulated, which eventually resulted in the kind of humanity we have today.
