Taking care of a garden does something to your soul. It teaches you lessons about life & death and it teaches you virtues like patience. It teaches you to observe the natural world and notice how it responds to the seasons. It gets you off the screen and requires you work with your hands again. The plants will begin to speak to you if you know how to listen.

S-Shaped Herkimer "Diamond" Chain

This specimen is unique because it has gemmy Smoky Quartz surrounding a clear Quartz crystal in the center and an aesthetic S-shape.

Herkimer "Diamonds" are a variety of Quartz found in Herkimer, New York. These are nicknamed "Diamonds" because of their incredible brilliance and their chunky, double terminated shape that resembles a diamond.

Mining for these crystals is very difficult because they are embedded in hard rock which requires lots of work to find small quantities and they are rarely found in long chains like this with excellent clarity.

Winter Solstice, St Michael’s Chapel at Fort Island 🇮🇲 Tonight, the year reaches its deepest point of darkness.
The Sun stands at its lowest arc, and night stretches longer than at any other time.
From here forward, day by day, the light returns #WinterSolstice2025 #isleofman

This card gives a good sense of the extent of the 1,000 plus menhirs arranged in 11 rows stretching for over a kilometre which form the alignments at Menec in Carnac (Morbihan). The 2 women sit on the ringing stone at the W end. Card by Denot in Lorient c.1905.

The passage grave at La Barbière in Crossac (Loire-Atlantique) has a 20-ton 4x3m capstone over the chamber still supported on 3 orthostats; the others have been robbed. Two slipped capstones and some supports still survive from the ruined passage. #TombTuesday.

If you’re born under Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces or have Moon in ascendant, read this carefully:

Have you ever noticed water?

The flowing river is always fresh and alive.

The stagnant pond becomes dirty, patchy, full of moss and fungus.

That’s the secret of your life.

When you keep moving, shifting, changing – you remain vibrant.

When you sit still for too long in the same place, the same situation,

The same routine - your energy begins to dull.

For water signs, movement is medicine.

Travel, change your surroundings, and embrace new experiences.

Don’t lock yourself into one stagnant pool.

The flow is your strength.

The more you move, the cleaner your mind,

The brighter your energy, the better your destiny unfolds

Fractal patterns occur in many places nature: the patterns in plants & tree branches, shells, feathers, river deltas, in our lungs & blood systems and Jackson Pollock created them on canvases while in a creative flow state.
Looking at fractals has been shown to put our brains into a relaxed state & we recover from stress 60% more quickly after observing them (I teach more about this in my workshops)
Pause to take in the details of my photo - it'll cause positive changes in your brain🧠🌿:

This is the 9m long westernmost of the three passage graves at Mané-Kerioned in Carnac (Morbihan). It is debatable as to whether each had its own cairn or were integrated over time into a single one. Card by Laussedat pre-1904 using a negative by Le Rouzic.

I know it's warm out there but St Michael's tower looks like it is fanning itself today.
