Onement VI is a painting which sold for a price of $43.84 million.

I bet you're thinking who in the world would pay 43m for this painting that you can DIY for 30$.

Allow me to explain how this goes.

*Millionaire makes $43m in 2022

*He hires an artist to make "art" for $25k

*Artist puts one streak on canvas.

*Millionaire thanks artist, and has art appraised by an appraiser who is in his same circle of friends.

*Appraiser values artwork at $43m

*Millionaire donates $43m artwork to museum to get $43m tax written off

*Millionaire pays no taxes in 2022.

*Me at museum: This is literally stupid, it's just a line on a canvas.

*Person next to me: No, you just don't understand it because you're uncultured.. 🤡 🌎

“What an irony it is that these living beings whose shade we sit in, whose fruit we eat, whose limbs we climb, whose roots we water, to whom most of us rarely give a second thought, are so poorly understood. We need to come, as soon as possible, to a profound understanding and appreciation for trees and forests and the vital role they play, for they are among our best allies in the uncertain future that is unfolding.”

Speaking of habbenings, this is tonight:

‘Blood Moon’ to put on show during total lunar eclipse on Sunday

Night sky watchers tonight will be treated to a glimpse of a relatively rare lunar phenomenon when a total eclipse of the moon tinges the Earth’s only satellite a haunting shade of red.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth’s shadow; the Earth, Moon and Sun must be perfectly aligned for such a spectacle to occur.

Iceland was largely, perhaps entirely, uninhabited when Norse colonisation started in the 9th c. AD, but after this the land filled up very rapidly. Already by the 10th c. Iceland had an established pattern of administrative organisation and a central assembly: the Alþing. The Alþing was established when the settlement period ended around 930 AD, and the earliest accounts of þing assemblies come from skaldic poetry (dating to 900-1400 AD), but the þing-system had been an Old Norse fixture for centuries prior.
Altogether, Iceland had 12 assembly districts, each featuring three þing assemblies where local þings were held to address local issues. Each þing was headed up by three godar (chieftains), who appointed bondar (free farmers) to act as judges. In 965 AD, Iceland was divided into a North, East, South, and West quarter, and the first of these received an additional þing. All cases that these could not handle were brought to the Alþing.
The Alþing convened once a year at Þingvellir (“assembly arena”) in southwestern Iceland, 40 km from the capital Reykjavík. According to written sources it lasted for two weeks, starting when 10 weeks of summer had passed. The Alþing was presided over by the Law Speaker but run by the lögrétta, the law council that held the legislative power in Iceland. The lögrétta was comprised of 146-147 þing-men who discussed, changed, and made new laws.
Only seven of the þing-sites mentioned in the sagas have been found, but there are many place-names throughout Iceland that feature the word ‘þing’ that are not mentioned in the sagas. Some of these also feature distinctive archaeological elements of such assembly places. Unfortunately, as it is problematic to date these sites it is hard to know if they were all in use at the same time or if some were founded later, explaining their absence in the literature.
All known þings are located near striking features in the landscape. Þingvellir itself seats near a lava crack that the river Silvrá runs through, a canyon (Almannagjá), a waterfall (Öxaráfoss), and several islands in the river running into Þingvallavatn—Iceland's largest lake.

1. Power places what are they?

Our ancestors were not so distracted by stimuli in our modern age as we are. Spirited land with specific power or energy was easier for them to feel. These power spots are places that:
• possess a high energy and/or
• have an ancient cultural history and/or
• have had or still have a ritual function

How do you know where a power spot is?
• by archaeological data in which remains of ancient cultures have been found
• by onomastics. In the Netherlands, for example, the Woensberg is a hill dedicated to Wodan.
• through folklore, folktales, lore and history
• through trance journeys, they allow you to explore a power place. In ancient cultures people used trance techniques and ancestor worship to get connected to information from other realms.

2. Which two main groups of power places are there?

• pre-christian power places
• christianized power places

In the Netherlands, pre-christian power places are for example, megalitic stone tombes, burial mounds, sacrificial stones, sacred wells, hills and cultplaces in nature.

The christianized power places often have churches or chapels that were built after 1350. They were built near or even on sacred trees, wells and cultplaces.

I think it is nice an essential to your pagan faith to be aware of such places in your own neighborhood.
