Parasites will Devour your Nation

Here's a recent video I made entitled "Parasites will Devour your Nation, if you Let Them."

In it, I explore the fact that governments which privilege Parasites over Industry violate the Social Contract.

The very purpose of governments is to create conditions for Industry, broadly defined. Industry is a positive human activity which uses human gifts and talents to transform the gifts of Nature for the mutual benefit of men and women.

Economic Parasites act as a drain to siphon-off wealth for themselves without contributing to the health of the Host economy. Parasites are a drag on Industry, and if governments allow too much Parasitism, then Parasites will eventually destroy Industry completely and hollow-out and de-industrialize an Economy, just as some parasites in the Natural World will hollow out the body of their Host, leaving the Host as a kind of walking-dead Zombie.

The Ancient Wisdom given to all cultures in their Myths and Sacred Stories warn us against Parasites, while encouraging Industry.

The ancient struggle of Industry vs Parasitism continues to this day. In fact, we cannot properly understand current events and the situation in "the west" without understanding this dynamic.

Catastrophically, however, Parasites have hijacked the very texts of the Ancient Wisdom itself, in order to advance Parasitism. Parasites often don't want the Host to know the Parasite is even there: for instance, the leech has saliva which numbs the site where the leech attaches to its Host.

New Video: Don't try to use Fiction to support Genocide

Above is a new video I've published recently.

Besides Biblical Literalists who mistakenly believe that Bible texts somehow support modern-day Israel and excuse its actions, there are astonishing numbers of NON-LITERALISTS who also accept the claim that the Myths collected up in the Bible are describing literal, historical people and events, and that therefore modern-day Israel is somehow a "return" of the actual "descendants" of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to the Promised Land.

I show beyond doubt that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are based on the stars and constellations and that the stories about their lives and actions are also based on the heavens and the heavenly cycles. If you want to learn more about the overwhelming evidence supporting that conclusion, please visit my online courses, Celestial Bible Tour (Parts One and Two), at The Undying Stars website.

Three recent videos: STOP US-BACKED GENOCIDE

Here are three recent videos I published about the ongoing US-backed genocide and associated war crimes and atrocities, a genocide and atrocities which all men and women on Earth should condemn.

To the extent that Biblical Literalists do not condemn this genocide and these war crimes and atrocities, the moral bankruptcy of Biblical Literalism is exposed for the world to see.

"What would Cinderella Do? Don't try to excuse Atrocity & Genocide with Fairy Tales"

"Frankly my Dear, All we have is Wall Street, Debt Slaves, and Arrogance!"

"How Literalism INVERTS the Bible: Stop US-backed Genocide"

What is this Emergency Declaration actually doing?

On 14 September 2001, George W. Bush declared a National Emergency "with respect to the terrorist attacks," as he put it, "at the World Trade Center, New York, New York, and the Pentagon, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the United States."

That National Emergency declaration went into effect for one year.

In September of 2002, citing the same "terrorist attacks" on the World Trade Center and the "continuing and immediate threat of further attacks," George Bush signed a "Continuation of the National Emergency," in a document which was entered into the Federal Register and which can be viewed here.

He extended the National Emergency for a year yet again in September of 2003.

Indeed, the National Emergency based on the "terrorist attacks" on the World Trade Center in September of 2001 has since been extended, each time for one year, by every single president from then until now. You can see all of those extending documents in the National Register (and below).

What is going on here? 

What does this National Emergency entail? Is there really a "continuing and immediate threat of further attacks" from the supposed perpetrators of September 11? 

Is this National Emergency which keeps being extended year after year just a "cosmetic" and meaningless example of political posturing? If so, why? Who is actually still believing that there is a "continuing and immediate threat" twenty-three years on?

The fact that it continues to be renewed each year, however, argues that this National Emergency actually does something. If it were simply some kind of cosmetic posturing, there would really be no reason to continue it for so long, through so many different presidential administrations from both parties. The National Emergency has continued to be renewed by Barack Obama in all the years of his two terms in office, and then by Donald Trump for each year that he was in office, and then by Joe Biden in each year that he was in office.

These men and their administrations must know that the official story of what happened on September 11, 2001 simply cannot possibly be true. The numerous buildings at the World Trade Center which collapsed at FREEFALL SPEED (or at speeds which are essentially indistinguishable from freefall speeds) were brought down by controlled demolition -- including World Trade Center Building 7, which was a steel-frame building not struck by any planes according to the official narrative of plane strikes.

The official narrative cannot explain the collapse (into their own footprint) of steel-frame high-rise structures at FREEFALL SPEEDS. That requires controlled demolition.

The official narrative is lie. Those signing these continued National Emergency declarations must know it is a lie. In fact, twenty-three years on from that event, everyone who cares to look into the events of September 11 on even a cursory level should know that the official narrative is a flat-out lie. There have been enough documentaries and books and solidly-researched reports in the following years to prove beyond any doubt that the official narrative is false and has no basis in fact whatsoever.

Numerous wars, including the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, were launched on the basis of this blatantly false official narrative. Thousands of American servicemen have died in those wars, along with hundreds of thousands or even millions of men, women and children in foreign countries invaded by the United States in the intervening years.

Who is pushing this narrative? It should be clear by now that the president does not make any difference and does not actually run anything. That means that the US Constitution is not actually in effect as the supreme law of the land. And that is also Treason.

Remember August 8th and 9th, 1969

August 8th and 9th each year is the anniversary of the so-called Manson murders, which saw the brutal slaying of Sharon Tate, her unborn child, and her companions in the house at Cielo Drive in an operation that was intended to discredit the anti-war movement, hippies, African-Americans, and the American Left in general, and that was permitted to happen and then covered up by the very government agencies which are supposed to be protecting and serving the citizens that they supposedly serve.

In his blockbuster book, Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties, author Tom O'Neill exposes evidence which shows beyond doubt that Charles Manson and his cult were part of a government operation receiving help from federal agencies including the CIA, and that they were protected even when caught in the act of running prostitution with underage women, stealing cars and selling their parts through "chop shop" activities, stealing credit cards, firing automatic weapons at all hours of day and night despite complaints of neighbors, and violating parole repeatedly.

Above is a video I published a year ago around this time of year, discussing some of the extremely suspicious aspects of the Manson operation, aspects which the brilliantly insightful researcher Mae Brussell was already talking about on public radio as early as 1972. The video also discusses two connected films by blockbuster director Quentin Tarantino, including Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which explores the Manson operation within the wider American culture of the time from an artistic perspective.

This August 8th and 9th, please spend some time considering the implications of a government which participates in operations to disrupt popular movements through secretive, violent, and at times murderous acts. I would recommend watching the above video, the two linked movies by Quentin Tarantino discussed in that video, and then searching out and listening to multiple podcast interviews with Tom O'Neill about his Manson research.

Mars and Retrogrades with Simon, Patrik and Kesenya!

Here is a new video recently posted to Kesenya's Guiding Star YouTube channel entitled "Mars is YOUR most important Planet!"

The video features a conversation recorded on Saturday, 20 July 2024 between Kesenya, Simon Shack, Patrik Holmqvist, and myself. 

In it, we discuss the retrograde motion of planets and how the retrograde motion can be explained by various models of the solar system, and why the explanation of the conventional heliocentric model that we all learn in school falls far short of explaining the evidence that we can see with our own eyes -- and why that conventional heliocentric explanation absolutely falls flat on its face when it comes to explaining the behavior of the planet Mars!

Please watch and share as appropriate, and then pursue the evidence more deeply for yourself by exploring the material Simon and Patrik have published at no charge to the world at tychos.space.

Celestial Medusa! Healing and Transformation

Above is a new video I've just published entitled "Celestial Medusa! Healing and Transformation."

It shows that it is only when we understand the Star Mythology behind the famous myth of Perseus and Medusa and Andromeda can we hear its profound message for our lives!

On 15 July 2024, Mars and Uranus will conjunct at the degree of the star Algol (in Perseus). In other words, if Algol's position is projected southwards to the Ecliptic, that is the same degree along the Ecliptic path where Mars and Uranus will be in a conjunction on 15 July 2024.

I recently did a guest appearance on the YouTube channel of Kesenya Guiding Star Astrology to discuss the celestial aspects of the Medusa myth in light of this upcoming conjunction.

This video shows that presentation, lightly edited, with the amazing message which the story of Perseus and Medusa and Andromeda can offer for our own lives and our own inner transformation.

I am also offering a new Three-Month Intensive Course on a subject related to the lesson of Medusa: "Recognizing and Trusting Eternal Self: Bible and Greek Myths" featuring live zoom seminars with me, starting this weekend, 13-14 July 2024. 

Because it is starting soon, you'll want to sign up right away (if interested), so that you don't miss it!

More evidence of a Deep Ancient Civilization before Dynastic Egypt

Above is a new video I have just published entitled "More Evidence of Deep Ancient Civilization before Dynastic Egypt!"

Star Mythology provides overwhelming evidence that the earliest civilizations known to conventional history *nherited a sophisticated system of celestial metaphor which forms the foundation for the mythology and sacred texts and artwork of cultures around the world!

I examine the artwork on the side of an ancient stone sculpture depicting a scene featuring the god Hapi of ancient Egypt and attributed to the reign of Senusret III of the 12th Dynasty.

In fact, it is related to similar artistic patterns found in ancient cultures around the globe, including the "Churning of the Ocean of Milk" story of ancient India (from the Vishnu Purana and other ancient Sanskrit texts), also known as the AmritaManthana or the Samudra Manthana, as well as a scene preserved in the so-called "Madrid Codex" of the ancient Maya civilization.

This scene is regularly interpreted by conventional historians in a political context, as the "uniting of Upper and Lower Egypt," but it can be shown to be built on a celestial foundation.

The authors of Hamlet's Mill (1969) perceived the connection between these patterns across cultures that the conventional paradigm of history tell us could not have possibly been connected, and they rightly argue that these connections and the evidence in myth completely upend the orthodox timeline of our ancient past.

They also argue (correctly, I think) that these scenes from ancient myth are encoding the ages-long motion of Precession.

But to even detect Precession (let alone to accurately calculate the rate of Precession, which ancient myths also encode using "precessional numbers") requires precise stellar measurements over the course of centuries, and thus the idea that an entire body of sophisticated mythology which ingeniously encodes precession in myth cannot fit inside of the orthodox academic timeline of human history. This artwork shows that Precession was already encoded in myth prior to the rise of ancient Egypt and ancient India and the ancient Maya! This evidence totally explodes the conventional paradigm of ancient human history.

Questions you are Not Allowed to Ask! another conversation with Patrik about the Tychos and more

Here is a second recent conversation with Patrik Holmqvist, in which I am joined by my partner and wife Kesenya, to discuss "Questions you are Not Allowed to Ask."

I hope you will enjoy it, and share as appropriate! 

Independence Day, 2024

 

INDEPENDENCE DAY: July 4th, 1776

The Declaration of Independence and the Spirit of '76 are still officially observed and celebrated in the United States of America today, BUT . . .

Counter-Revolutionary forces have taken over your government, in case you haven't noticed. Wake up.

The criminals occupying Washington DC are funding an openly pro-nazi army and regime in the Ukraine (almost completely defeated now), and an ongoing, in-your-face, televised genocide in Gaza which includes bombing of hospitals, demolition of universities, slaughter of non-combatants including women and children, and deliberate withholding of food and water and medical supplies in order to induce a famine and non-combatant deaths, all of which are war crimes.

Peaceful protests by US citizens against the genocide being funded and enabled by Washington DC have been crushed.

How did we get here? Assassinations of real American Presidents, including President Lincoln and President Kennedy (and not by "lone nut" assassins either) and replacing them with collaborators and clowns -- that's how we got here. You haven't had a real President since at least 1963.

Happy Independence Day, 2024.

Permission to Ask Questions! Conversation with Patrik Holmqvist

Above is a video I published recently entitled "Permission to Ask Questions! A conversation with Patrik Holmqvist: Tychos, 9-11, Moon Hoax and More!"

It records an important conversation with Patrik Holmqvist about the Tychos Binary Model, and the Questions we are not "allowed" to Ask.

Why is it important to be aware of the strong possibility that the Kepler Heliocentric Model of the Solar System -- which we are all taught as completely established fact, beyond questioning and indeed so sacred that doubting it is akin to heresy -- could in fact be completely in error?

How do modern "dogmatic" paradigms prevent us from even forming certain questions in our minds, and indeed prevent seeing evidence that is right in front of our faces?

Join Patrik and me for a conversation in which Patrik tells of a journey which started when he began critically examining conventional dietary advice that says "fat and cholesterol are bad for you," and which led to tugging on a thread that led further and further, to the very shape of our Solar System, and beyond! For more on these important subjects, see the website of the Tychos Binary Model at tychos.space Also please visit three previous videos I have done about Simon Shack's Tychos research (one of them a video I did about Mars synodic periods and other aspects of Tychos, and two of them interviews with Simon and Patrik):

June Solstice 2024!

Once again we have reached the point in our Earth-Sun dance at which our planet's North Pole points most directly towards the Sun -- the June Solstice. 

On this day, the track of the Sun -- the Ecliptic path -- reaches its northernmost point on its annual journey before turning back towards the south. Thus, it marks the Sun's highest arc above the horizon for the northern hemisphere and the lowest arc above the horizon for the southern. 

My online video course Celestial Mechanics and the Myths goes into much greater detail about this phenomenon and about the way the ancient Star Myths around the world use this annual cycle as part of a system of esoteric celestial metaphor.

The conventional explanation for the motion of the Ecliptic northward and southward throughout the year involves the tilt of our axis remaining fixed in one direction even as Earth hurtles around its orbit, as illustrated in the diagram above. However, accomplished astronomers in previous centuries such as Tycho Brahe offered a different explanation for the evidence we can see from Earth. 

As shown in the images below, Simon Shack has updated Tycho's model which he argues does a far better job of explaining the celestial phenomena which we observe. I have previously published three videos exploring Simon Shack's Tychos model, which you can find on my YouTube channel using the following links:

"Simon Shack, Tycho Brahe, Retrograde Mars, and the vital importance of the Moon!"

"Meet the Tychos Model of our Binary System! Interview with Simon and Patrik, Part 1"

"Meet the Tychos, Part 2!"

Simon has made his Tychos research available at https://www.tychos.space/

There, you will find his entire book, Second Edition, called The Tychos: Our Geoaxial Binary System available for digital download or physical purchase. The hardbound physical version is available for purchase at this link through Lulu.

Below are a few screenshots from the Second Edition, showing how the conventional Kepler model we are all given as indisputable and completely "proven" actually has tremendous difficulty explaining a host of evidence which we can observe in the sky and heavenly cycles, including the solstices and equinoxes, the differences between the sidereal and solar years, the motions of the planet Mars, the intriguing data regarding stellar parallax, and much more.

This time of June Solstice is a wonderful point in the year to explore the evidence for yourself!

Wishing you blessings at this momentous turning point in the year, and thank you for your interest in and support of my work!

Pisces in the predawn sky, and more arguments that our Earth is NOT flat (it's a sphere)

It is a wonderful time of year to view Pisces before dawn, along with other constellations in the region of Pisces such as Pegasus (and the Great Square), Andromeda, Aquarius, and others in the area.

Further, Aldebaran is presently rising in the pre-dawn sky above the horizon in the east just prior to the sun (heliacal rising).

Above is a photo that I took this morning looking towards the ecliptic and the zodiac band, which means looking towards the north from my location in Australia:

If you look closely on a good screen with good resolution, you should be able to identify the Great Square, and from there you can trace the Fishes of Pisces.

Below is a screenshot taken from Stellarium of the same region of the sky, from an observation point in Victoria, Australia (where I am located and where the above photograph was also taken):

And below is the same photograph shown at the top, the one taken by me this morning, and this time I have labeled and drawn in the outlines of the constellations:

I hope these diagrams will help you to identify Pisces yourself. Note that Pisces is an extremely faint constellation and one of the most difficult of the zodiac to identify, in my experience. I suggest always starting with the Great Square when trying to find Pisces, then identifying the locations of Andromeda and Pegasus, and then looking for Pisces forming a "V" along the southern and eastern sides of the Square.

Note also that you will probably need a very dark sky in order to see Pisces, and if you are located in the northern hemisphere and Pisces is too close to the horizon, its stars are easily drowned out by any light pollution along the horizon.

Note also that the orientation of the constellations, being "upside down" for a viewer in the southern hemisphere relative to their orientation for a viewer in the northern hemisphere, is not easily explained at all by proponents of the misguided "flat earth" cult, and I have never even heard any attempted explanation for this phenomenon by any adherents of the flat earth cult. However, these observable phenomena are very easily explained by the fact that we live on a spherical planet. 

This is why I must look towards the north to see the zodiac constellations when I am in Australia, but must look towards the south to see the same constellations when I am in North America, and why the "northern" side of those constellations point "down" towards the horizon when I am in Australia (because the north celestial pole is "down below" the curve of the earth from here), but the northern side of those constellations point "up" towards the top of the sky when I am in North America (because the north celestial pole is up overhead when I am in the northern hemisphere, whereas the south celestial pole is down below the curve of the earth).

Again, these observations are all very easily explained by the fact that we live on a spherical planet, but I have never heard any flat earth proponent even attempt to explain them, no matter how many times I point out these facts on social media.

How the Narmer Palette totally DESTROYS Ancient History!

I've just published a brand-new video entitled "How the Narmer Palette totally DESTROYS Ancient History!"

The conventional accepted academic version of humanity's ancient past simply cannot stand up to the overwhelming evidence around the globe pointing to a comprehensive Star Myth system already existing and fully developed prior to the very earliest known civilizations -- including that of ancient Egypt.

The Narmer Palette is attributed to the reign of the first king of the First Dynasty of ancient Egypt, King Narmer, who supposedly united Upper and Lower Egypt to start the first civilization out of a hazy pre-dynastic period of some unknown centuries or millennia, out of which suddenly a new civilization appears around 3200 BC, producing the beautiful workmanship of the Narmer Palette.

However, when we note that the symbology of the artwork on the Narmer Palette is undeniably celestial in its foundations -- as is the symbology in the artwork of other First Dynasty pharaohs including King Den (discussed in the video) -- insurmountable problems start to arise which, when considered carefully and fully understood, show beyond doubt that the conventional timeline of ancient history is flawed beyond repair and in need of radical revision.

As John Anthony West explained in his landmark 1979 book Serpent in the Sky, all the evidence points to the inevitable conclusion that ancient Egypt did not "develop" its incredible civilization, but rather inherited it. In addition to all the evidence that John Anthony West and other researchers have discussed to support that conclusion, the Star Myth evidence reveals beyond any doubt that the very first surviving tablet from the very first king of the First Dynasty already manifests celestial patterns which are also found in the ancient civilizations of India and of Central America -- as discussed in this video.

Please share this video with anyone you know from academia who still continue to uphold the untenable timeline of ancient history, and please "like" the video to help it gain traction so that YouTube will show it to more people who might be interested in this analysis.

And, as the video also shares, our upcoming Stars Over Egypt experience is approaching fast, this November! Join me as I point out celestial patterns in the actual artwork at the incredible sites of Egypt, and then also point out the constellations at night in the starry sky using a laser pointer, along with Kesenya from Guiding Star Astrology and Patricia Awyan Lehman from Horus Rising Khemitology.

I hope you can join us!

Uncertain or Frustrated about the Bible and its teaching for your Life?

Above is a new video I've published entitled "Uncertain or Frustrated about the Bible?"

Do you feel frustrated or uncertain about the Bible and its teaching for your life?

If you do, I've been there! 

I was committed to a literalist approach to the Bible for twenty years of my adult life. I was looking to the Bible not so much out of any fear of hell but rather because I was searching for personal transformation --

trying to change aspects of my own behavior and know the right path to take in my life -- and what was so frustrating was that no matter how hard I tried (using a literalistic approach), it wasn't working.

Religions based on literalistic approaches to the Bible (or literalistic approaches to other ancient myths and scriptures and sacred stories) promise transformation and guidance, but if they are based on a wrong approach to those ancient sources, they often invert the message entirely and can very easily cause more harm than good.

Following the wrong interpretation can really tear you up inside. The Reverend Charles Haddon Sturgeon (1834 - 1892) was one of the most well-known and popular preachers and advocates of the literal interpretation of the Bible and remains very influential within literalist Christianity to this day. But he was plagued with terrible bouts of depression throughout his life. This is not disputed by literalist Christians -- a 2018 biography of his wife Susannah written by an American Christian pastor says of Susannah: "At times she found him weeping though he didn't know why, his depressions could be so dark."

Religions that promise moral guidance and personal transformation without being able to deliver can be seen as practicing a kind of Religious Abuse.

If we are reading the Bible the wrong way, it simply stands to reason that we are likely to get the wrong message.

For the past fifteen years, after approaching the Bible literally for the previous twenty years of my adult life, I have been pursuing a different approach. And I am sharing that approach in an upcoming free zoom seminar entitled Self-Defense against Religious Bullying and Religious Abuse on June 22nd at 5pm Eastern time (USA). 

If you are not familiar with my work, my approach will probably be unlike anything you have ever heard before -- but it is backed by enormous amounts of evidence and years of research, and I will be sharing some of that evidence during this live zoom seminar.

If you or someone you know has been exposed to Religious Bullying or Abuse, or if you simply want to have confidence instead of uncertainty and frustration when it comes to the Bible and its message, I encourage you to join me or to tell your friend or loved one about this free zoom seminar.

Sign up to reserve your spot using the "Events" page on my website, The Undying Stars https://www.undyingstars.com/events

I hope to see you there!

How to Confidently Defend against Religious Bullying!

Have you ever been the victim of Religious Bullying or Religious Abuse?

Do you know someone who has?

Gain complete confidence when encountering Religious Bullying or Abuse: proof that the Bible is based on the stars, in common with other ancient myths and sacred stories, and that literalist interpretations of Bible texts are wrong. 

This knowledge, once understood, is yours forever and points the way towards healing Religious Wounds and defeating Religious Bullying and Abuse.

Join me, David Mathisen, on 22 June 2024 for a free Self-Defense against Religious Bullying live zoom seminar, which will take place at:

5pm Eastern Time (USA), which is the same as 2pm Pacific Time (USA), which is the same as 7am Sydney/Melbourne Time (Australia: note it will be 23 June in Australia)!

This live Self-Defense against Religious Bullying seminar will last approximately (exactly) two hours.

Orphic Hymns to Invoke the Gods in You

Here is another recent video that I published to YouTube, entitled "Orphic Hymns to Invoke the Ancient Gods in You."

This video builds on some of the concepts explored in the previous one, entitled "Star Myths, the Duat, and this Life," including the assertion that the realm of the gods is not separate from us -- and in fact is also within us.

Ancient cultures passed down practices for invoking the gods in you and me, as I discuss in my most-recent book, Invoking the Ancient Gods in You.

From the culture of ancient Greece, the Orphic Hymns have survived as an extremely helpful -- and extremely beneficial -- example of the practices used in ancient cultures to invoke the gods.

This video explores the aspects of the god Ares in us, and what we can learn from the ancient Orphic Hymn to Ares.

Please share with those for whom this information would be helpful in some way!

Star Myths, the Duat, and this Life

Above is a video I published recently entitled "Star Myths, the Duat, and this Life."

It explores the question, which I am frequently asked, "Why do the Star Myths from cultures around the world use the Stars as their foundation?"

I'm convinced one reason is that they are dramatizing for our understanding the reality of the Duat, the Infinite and the Eternal, the "pure potential" from which the manifest unfolds and which is not separate from us but always present.

The ancient wisdom given to all cultures helps us to live in accordance with this uncreated undifferentiated Duat (a term from ancient Egypt -- other cultures describe it with different language but pointing to the same concept), both on an individual level and on an societal level.

Ignoring the teaching of the ancient wisdom, or deliberately trying to turn it on its head, only ends in frustration and disaster.

Please share as appropriate with those who would find this message to be positive in some way!

Photos from the Eclipse at the Canyon extravaganza!

The podcast teams of the Brothers of the Serpent and the Grimerica Show organized a fantastic weekend-long festival in Utopia, Texas called Eclipse at the Canyon to celebrate and experience the Total Solar Eclipse of 08 April 2024.

We heard eye-opening presentations and soul-enriching music from a tremendous lineup of artists and speakers, plus two nights of stand-up comedy!

The Eclipse itself was unforgettable -- made even more so by the fact that the sky was stubbornly clouded-over during the hours leading up to the big moment (see image below):

In conjunction with our collective intentions, the sky opened up for us to see the Total Eclipse in all its glory -- just as had happened previously on a different Canyons event at Bryce and Zion National Parks in Utah, when the sky opened up long enough for us to see all the constellations in all directions, before clouding back over.

Below are a few photos from this year's Eclipse at the Canyon -- Special thanks to hosts David and Laura K for having us all over to their fantastic homestead and venue, and looking forward to more events in Utopia in the years ahead!
