Energy moves in cycles, circles, spirals, vortexes, whirls, pulsations, waves, and rhythms — rarely if ever in simple straight lines. ~ Starhawk.

Did you know?

In the Victorian era, London’s overcrowded graveyards sometimes erupted.

Coffins were crammed so tightly into shallow churchyards that the gases of decomposition built up beneath the soil. The ground would swell and burst open to reveal decomposing corpses.

#Victorian #history

It shows a photograph of Highgate Cemetery in London, England. The gravestones are crammed closely together. The ground is uneven due to overcrowding.

#AUTUMN BEAUTY I was struck by the unsettlingly dark beauty of the #Bronte family home & churchyard when I visited Haworth. Shrouded in mist among the #autumn leaves it was clear no coward soul could live here. Glorious in its gothic gloom.

“Few cross the river of time and are able to reach non-being. Most of them run up and down only on this side of the river. But those who when they know the law follow the path of the law, they shall reach the other shore and go beyond the realm of death.”
