Reckoning at the 2043 Cascadia Shaman’s Convergence – New Myth 28 by Willi Paul   http://wp.me/p14SHM-HR   One of the rituals in the Shaman’s Convergence is the sharing of new songs, poems or myths from their territories in Cascadia. Zephyr Canon took-up his turn by showing the group how to use a quartz crystal to refract and dance the fire light to help illustrate the times before the Chaos Era finally ended the founding fathers greed, global aggression, and in-sustainability joy ride.   “The year is 2021, people,” he called. … Continued

The Stolen Wind Tribe of Cascadia Pass. New Myth 27 by Willi Paul Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines Windmills of yesterday are not the same as the horizontal axis wind turbines of today.

Utility scale horizontal axis wind turbines typically use three blades although some are now being developed that use just two. Railed against by some environmentalists as “bird Cuisinarts”, the utility scale horizontal axis wind turbines today are being designed to move … Continued

The Plastique Sea Barge Tribe. New Myth 26 by Willi Paul, openmythsource.com http://wp.me/p14SHM-GC An ironic twist to the localization movement throughout Cascadia, the Plastique Sea is a moving permaculture experiment, a bobbing and rolling decentralized government with a flag and a rowdy group chant. SeaOccupy? The Plastique Sea Barge Tribe is another example of community initiation in the post-Transition era. “How do we make our share of Cascadian Barterbucks?” 38225

“Our Own Bread” – Interview with rani Jayakumar, Transition Palo Alto, by Willi Paul, Permaculture Exchange http://planetshifter.com/node/2042 “I adore anything craft-related, especially when it uses found materials and things that would otherwise end up in the landfill. I started with that very young – making little notebooks out of scraps of junk mail and stickers that had lost their glue and giving them as gifts to teachers. I think as I have grown, my interests have also diversified – I love cooking, preserving, knitting, appreciating nature. Last year we had … Continued

“Shapeshift Threshold Reverie”. Interview with Maila T. Davenport PhD, AltarPlaces.org, Portland. By Willi Paul, openmythsource.com http://planetshifter.com/node/2040 – excerpt – “I am so pleased that people are bringing story and myth back into active culture – they have been stowed away on dusty library bookshelves for too long! We live in a world whirling in story, and most often anymore they are held in a solitary word – word as hologram, code, oral image. Who says we no longer use pictographs?” MD   37779

Yes to Permaculture! The Vladislav Davidzon Interview, Founder and CEO of Common Circle Education. By Willi Paul, Planetshifter.com Magazine http://planetshifter.com/node/2037 – excerpt – “I think a lot (of the global warming debate) boils down to leadership and vision. I also find that real understanding of leadership is badly lacking in the permaculture community. There is a lot of irrelevant strife for control and authority, that seems to come from confusion of authority with power; and power isn’t something we need to “take” because we are fundamentally power. What we do … Continued
