The White Cavalry (Ieper, Belgium,; Flanders fields)

 




The White Cavalry (Ieper, Belgium,; Flanders fields)

The story about The White Cavalry is another one that takes us back to World War 1. In 1918 in Ieper (Brlgium), the British captain Hayward saw how the Germans threw granite and shot at an empty piece of land. After fighting their non-existent enemy, they suddenly turned and fled.
After taking them hostage, the English had a few questions (obviously). The German colonel claimed to have seen a strange army dressed in white, riding on pure white horses. He said they trotted straight trough the bullets and granites, coming closer and closer to the German army. Then, the German battalion was overcome by a strange panic, so they fled from the mysterious riders.
Some think it was a hallucination caused by the stress of war. If it was a hallucination, isn't it a bit weird that the ENTIRE German battelion saw exactly the same thing? Others believe that it was God who sent an army of his angels to help.The White Cavalry (Ieper, Belgium,; Flanders fields)The story about The White Cavalry is another one that takes us back to World War I.

The Controversial Dashka Stone: 120 Million-Year-Old Map?

  The Controversial Dashka Stone: 120 Million-Year-Old Map? The Dashka Stone is a controversial artifact that it is believed by some to be the guidelines used by the architect of the world. Known as  the Map of the Creator , this stone tablet has baffled researchers since its discovery in 1999. As impossible as it may seem, Russian experts believe the stone map, could be  120 million years  old. The Dashka slab depicts not only the environs of the Ural Mountains, but also a series of civil engineering projects including 7457 miles (12,000 km) of channels, several dams, and hieroglyphic notations of unknown origin. The accuracy and perspective of the map suggest that it was created from an aerial point of observation. The hieroglyphs have not, as of the time of writing, been deciphered but are thought to be related to an ancient form of Chinese. Archeologists from the Bashkir State University discovered the Dashka stone in the Ural Mountains of eastern Russia on July ...

How To Get Rid of Negative Energy With Palo Santo

  How To Get Rid of Negative Energy With Palo Santo Whether it’s to refresh your spirit, to cleanse your home, or to help the not so friendly ghost move out, Palo Santo is a powerful helper. Palo Santo is one of a favorite items for clearing a person from negativity, a space from heavy energy, or even removing unfriendly Spirits. Don’t get me wrong, I love white sage, it’s one of the most widely known and used herbs for smudging. But not everyone likes the smell of white sage, and it can even cause respiratory issues for some people. But have you ever tried the sweet aromatic smoke of Palo Santo instead?

It is very good at keeping energy clear and grounded, and has a light, sweet and slightly piney scent. It wi...

Thomas Busby’s Stoop Chair

  Thomas Busby’s Stoop Chair Thomas Busby of Thirsk, North Yorkshire was not a nice man. In 1702, he came one day to discover his father-in-law, Daniel Auty (sometimes spelled Awety — isn’t unregulated spelling fun?) sitting in his favorite chair; this sparked an argument resulting in Auty threatening to take back his daughter (women as property... sigh), before Busby threw him out of the house. That night, Busby went up to Auty’s home, bludgeoned him to death with a hammer, and hid the body in the woods. The body, of course, was found; Busby was tried and convicted; and he was subsequently hanged, tarred, and left in a gibbet by the side of the road opposite the coaching inn. It’s said that on the way to the gallows, Busby requested a drink of ale at his favorite pub before his sentence was enacted. As he finished, he said, “May sudden death come to anyone who dare sit in my chair.” The chair currently occupies a spot in the Thirsk Museum. Terrible fates have befallen many who hav...
