Since today is Lady Day, and I was just reading this beautiful information about planting a garden that is in tune with your own personal DNA, I had to share this information with all of you....I just learned about Anastasia yesterday over at The Bovine in a very interesting article about the origins of the security state. I was immediately moved by the beautiful style of writing so I went on to check out the website www.ringingcedars.com where you can find out more and buy the books. I quickly ended up clicking on the link that said Amazing Seed Planting Secret and found myself in a world full of meaning and connection. This is a very special gateway to the Green World we are all desperately dreaming of and working towards.
I will quote some of that article here but I highly recommend taking a look around the site and discovering a new way of thinking and interacting. I haven't even read any of the books yet so I really have no idea what I am talking about at this point, but it is easy to see that there is something very valuable and necessary for our world encapsulated in this knowledge.
Lady Day is the day that, in Sumer mythology, Inanna was resurrected after being killed by her sister Ereshkigal, queen of the underworld, and hung on a hook. It is a hopeful day, a day of rebirth, and an appropriate day to learn about this amazing forest woman Anastasia and her technique for planting seeds :)
Anastasia stated:
“Every seed you plant contains within itself an enormous amount of information about the Universe. Nothing made by human hands can compare with this information either in size or accuracy. Through the help of these data the seed knows the exact time, down to the millisecond, when it is to come alive, grow — what juices it is to take from the Earth, how to make use of the rays of the celestial bodies — the Sun, Moon and stars, what it is to grow into, what fruit to bring forth.
“Before planting, put into your mouth one or more little seeds, hold them in your mouth, under the tongue, for at least nine minutes.
“Then place the seed between the palms of your hands and hold it there for about thirty seconds. During this time it is important that you be standing barefoot on the spot of earth where you will later be planting it.
“Open your hands, and carefully raise the seed which you are holding to your mouth. Then blow on it lightly, warming it with your breath, and the wee little seed will know everything that is within you.
“Then you need to hold it with your hands open another thirty seconds, presenting the seed to the celestial bodies. And the seed will determine the moment of its awakening. The planets will all help it! And will give the sprouts the light they need to produce fruit especially for you.
“After that you may plant the seed in the ground. In no case should you water it right off, so as not to wash away the saliva which is now covering it, along with other information about you that the seed will take in. It can be watered three days after planting.
“The planting must be done on days appropriate to each vegetable (people already know this, from the lunar calendar). In the absence of watering, a premature planting is not as harmful as an overdue planting.
“It is not a good idea to pull up all the weeds growing in the vicinity of the sprouts. At least one of each kind should be left in place. The weeds can be cut back…”
According to Anastasia, the seed is thus able to take in information about the person who plants it, and then during the cultivation of its fruit it will pick up from the Universe and the Earth the optimum blend of energies needed for a given Man. (READ MORE)
I was happy to discover I had the first step of planting seeds in this manner down. I started placing the seeds I was going to plant in my mouth a couple years ago when I heard that the enzymes in your saliva were meant to help germinate them, although I hadn't realized the deep connection that plants will have with us when planted following this beautiful ritual.
I hope to order the books at some point, but it is also possible to read them online by following this link.

In 2003 when I first started writing for Healthy Options magazine in New Zealand I did a three day fast and spent a couple days at the Auckland library (some people do prayer and fasting, I do reading and fasting-heh). Now those of you who do fasts know that it is a good way to clear your mind and g ...

I have finally put together a list of some of my favorite reads of late. I am sure there could be a ton more books added to this list, and I will most likely make another one some day. These books have helped me to shift the way I view the world and the potential of mankind. We are very intimately i ...

A couple years ago we stumbled into a magical forest of 7 - 8 foot mulleins. Mullein flowers are traditionally infused in olive oil and used for ear aches (it works, I've used it). The large fluffy leaves are traditionally smoked to relax the lungs of people with asthma (this works as well), I u ...
