"2020

I may not have found the answer to the Secret I was looking for in Kemet, but I shared something with the thousand-year-old lords of the Nile. Then, I remembered this passage from a story that some Bards once told:

[...] Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don't wanna die, I'm a god
Why can't I live on?
When the Life Giver dies
All around is laid waste
And in my last hour
I'm a Slave to the Power of Death [...]

(Iron Maiden, 1984, Powerslave)"

[Excerpt from the Sukha' SacredBrew Logbook]

The image depicts a historic stone alleyway with an arched doorway featuring ornate wooden doors. The entrance appears to be part of a religious or significant building, as indicated by the symbols and writing above the door. The surrounding stone walls and cobblestone ground suggest an ancient, possibly Mediterranean or Middle Eastern architectural style, often seen in older towns or historical districts. The lighting indicates a bright day, enhancing the texture of the stone.

View from our cabin right now. We're cruising up the Hardangerfjord and will get as far as the Furebergsfossen waterfall before heading back and towards Bergen for tomorrow. The distant mountains are part of the Folgefonna glacier.

Choppy, deep blue water leads to several layers of land beyond one another, parts of rocky and tree-filled areas along this wide fjord. Small houses of a village nestle to the right in the distance. The furthest land under this cold, piercing blue sky is a jagged mountain range with deep masses of snow and ice on its peaks.

Should I Stay or Should I Go Now? 30 Days Until Martial Law...? (By Jessica Wildfire • 20 Mar 2025.) https://www.the-sentinel-intelligence.net/should-i-stay-or-should-i-go-now-30-days-until-martial-law/ Salacious title, but worryingly possible.

"Meanwhile, corporate media asks, “Can he do that?” These stories are engineered to distract the public with technicalities. While everyone’s debating what they can and can’t do, they are doing it.

We know this administration’s pattern of loose interpretation when it comes to law and historical precedent. There’s no reason to believe he’ll stop here, instead using this act to use force against anyone his administration considers a threat, regardless of their status or what they’re protesting.

You also have to remember this country has a long, established history of censoring speech and leading witch hunts. During WWI, god help you if you didn’t buy enough liberty bonds or called yourself a pacifist.

We’re the land of moral panics.

Every single one of this administration’s actions have been building toward this moment, when the president suspends our civil and human rights. It explains why they’ve taken such aggressive action toward federal agencies, firing tens of thousands of workers and purging their ranks of anyone who might say no. They’ve already been testing boundaries, daring courts to stop them as they shut down government operations and kidnap U.S. citizens."

It had been raining for days in Canada's Thousand Islands region, and despite numerous disappointments, I kept trying. Persistence paid off, the sun broke through, and painted it all in breathtaking light.🍁

Here's something a little different.

It wasn't always gorgeous weather during our stay around the East Neuk of Fife. When it was more gloomy, we headed to Dundee to check the city out.

In particular, the V&A Dundee Museum of Design proved a totally fascinating subject https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/3/13/the-va-design-museum-dundee-scotland-winter

I had wanted to start posting #Weekly on my #Blog again this #Month. While I have plenty of #Posts written, I haven’t had time to get much #Editing done between #Kids, #Birthdays, #Travel, and the impending doom of the #Govt.

I’m hoping I can find a little time to get some #Editing done soon, but as soon as I do, #Summer will roll through and stop me, I’m sure.

Photographing the "caretos" on the main day of Entrudo, Tuesday, is a challenge in itself. To begin with, Lazarim receives thousands of visitors on this day, each equipped with a "camera" - their smartphone, many wanting to take selfies with the caretos or photos with them. Considering also the narrow streets and not very large squares, the space becomes tight for so many people.
However, with some luck and help from the organization, there are certain moments when it's possible to divert the caretos to a more hidden, more scenic place, where it's easier to photograph them without having mobile phones in view, or people getting into the photos. But note, I have nothing against this, I'm just describing my experience.
It also helps to know the village and the route that the caretos follow on that day, which allows for anticipation and better preparation. Finally, it's also necessary to work with the weather conditions and the time of day, because during the ritual, we encounter different phases of the day, from very strong and high sun to its absence.
