This interesting article on the National Geographic website looks at the oldest known religious site in the world, Göbekli Tepe, and what it can potentially tell us about the origins of Neolithic civilisation, and in turn, our own...Visit the National Geographic site to read the full article.

The Times published an article yesterday called Astronomer faces fellow scientists' wrath after accepting £1 million religious prize. (7 Apr 11)The astrophysicist in question, Lord Rees of Ludlow, the former Astronomer Royal, a self-confessed atheist (which of course does NOT preclude him from having spiritual beliefs - just not those that have a godhead or god figure of any kind, making him

A powerful earthquake, measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale, took place yesterday at 11:22pm near Sendai in Japan, close to the centre of the large earthquake which occurred on the 1th of March.Fortunately this time, there was no subsequent tsunami and fewer casualties or damage to buildings. However, it does suggest that the warning by geologists that another powerful event is likely to occur

Throughout the Japanese quake ordeal, this image kept coming into my mind...It is a woodcut by the Japanese artist, Katsushika Hokusai called "The Great Wave at Kanagawa." Some have interpreted this to be a depiction of a tsunami, although others beg to differ. Take this write-up from Wikipedia as an example:"Behind the Great Wave at Kanagawa" (神奈川沖波裏), from 36 Views of Mount Fuji, Color woodcut,

I thought this article by Ed Tamplin was fairly interesting. (http://www.edtamplin.com/articles/earthquake%202005.htm)It shows that to try to use a scientific model within the context of astrology i.e. trying to isolate or reduce the significator of the event to just ONE astrological phenomenon, and then attempting to replicate these results to other similar disasters just doesn't work...Hmm,

A recent prediction by astrologer, Richard Nolle about the link between the impending 'Supermoon' on the 19th of March and natural disasters such as the Japan quake and tsunami of the 11th of March has sparked some controversy in the press of late.The Full Moon on the 19th of March 2011 will be the closest that the Moon has gotten to the earth in approximately 18 years (close to the length of one

Putting aside the astrological activity of the Moon briefly, it would seem as though the Sun is once more stirring up life on earth... The BBC today reported that three solar flares, including a so-called X-flare - the strongest type of flare, and the biggest of its kind since 2006, will be reaching the earth today and tomorrow. The ultra-violet radiation from this type of activity has the

Nearly a year on since my last post, I have felt compelled to once again comment on the effect that the lunar nodes appear to be having on planet earth and her people.Since the Chile earthquake of 27 February 2010, there have been several eclipses that have also coincided with small earthquakes, especially here in the UK. According to the BBC, the UK experiences up to 300 minor earthquakes a year

A strange thing happened to me last week: At 4am on the 25th of February, the night of a Sun-Jupiter conjunction in Pisces, I woke up from a deep slumber and couldn't go back to sleep! What is strange is that a colleague had complained of the same thing happening to her the previous night. When I spoke to other people, many of my family and friends appear to have suffered from the same phenomenon

In The Wounded Researcher: Research with Soul in Mind, Robert Romanyshyn writes that the researcher is always implicated in his research, and that an important dialetic is often set up between the work and the researcher that drives the project onwards. According to Romanyshyn, “Re-search” is a vocation, one in which the topic often 'chooses' the researcher through a type of sympathetic resonance

Deborah Houlding has very kindly agreed to host an article based on my dissertation for the MA programme in Cosmology & Divination at the University of Kent. Those interested can view it using the following link: www.skyscript.co.uk/midnightsun.html.

Just back from my first trip to Malta which included visiting some of the Neolithic monuments and stone temples, as well as the Hypogeum, now a World Heritage site. During the trip, I was struck by several things. Firstly, the people who built these monuments, which are older than the Egyptian pyramids, appear to have followed an older, more earth-oriented, goddess cult, judging by the many '

I've just handed in my dissertation after what can only be called four years of gruelling but exhilarating initiation at the University of Kent in Canterbury. It's been a long hard slog with lots of pitfalls along the way but I hope that all that angst and really heart-felt graft will prove worth it in the end.The end product is not half as good as I would have hoped - it's such a poor reflection
