Kadaitcha and Illapurinja

The Lore of the Kadaitcha is an ancient and respected Lore, one of the oldest faiths in the world but one denigrated in the past by historians who recorded Australia’s colonial times. The ignorance of these historians is only surpassed by the lack of depth within the westernised concept of spirituality when it comes to understanding an ancient culture and Lore. A Lore ten times older than Christianity or any other mainstream religion.

In the social media recently I came across the graphic image shown here and found it a remarkable image. To me it represented reality vs fiction or the Kadaitcha of Aussie Lore vs pop cartoon caricature. While I have also enjoyed the still popular vampire fad of the present day up to a point, I do recognise that they are fantasy as is Batman, Clark Kent and any other super hero you might like to name including Astro-boy. I could write reams on the physical impossibilities recounted or presented in popular paranormal or supernatural fiction. This however would not include the Kadaitcha or ‘clever men’ of the Australian traditional Lore who are very, very real and are recorded in our history and the social news-sheets of their day, as well as in legend and tales which recount a social history within an ancient culture which has no ancient literary text as reference.

For anyone who has ever encountered the elusive Kadaitcha Men, or truly studied their strengths recorded in history, such as Prof. A.P. Elkin who published a study of their Lore in ‘Aboriginal Men of High Degree’ which is available online,  there is little doubt as to their commanding power. Amongst these people can be counted a number of historical figures who recognized their strengths with respect. The most notable record of historical accounts of brushes with the Kadaitcha was when Governor Phillip, Australia’s first Colonial Governor, first met the highly respected Kadaitcha Man, Pemulwuy in an incident where the Governor was speared in 1790. To his credit Governor Phillip ordered that there be no retaliation against Pemulwuy, as he believed he acted to defend his people over atrocities committed against them by one particular colonist. The renowned Kadaitcha Man was likely undertaking what is known as ‘payback’ for these same atrocities and reacting to the failure of the Governor to control his followers or those otherwise known as colonists and convicts of the early penal settlement. Pemulwuy was of the Kadaitcha Lore and a great leader amongst his people.

Pemulwuy is a fascinating and powerful character in colonial history, though the First Australians are largely ignored in the historical accounting of today, not so in the day that he lived. This fight for recognition for our First Australians continues today and you can join in this struggle with various groups such as ‘Recognize’.

Pemulwuy was a commanding figure standing well over 6 feet and a physically powerful and attractive man to the European eye. He was a man to contend with and while the early tribal clans of Sydney had no Chieftains they respected their men of Lore who lived as ordinary men amongst them, often leading their Mob’s or clans in times of adversity. They were fathers, lovers and brothers who followed moral codes and practices much stricter than their European contemporaries although these codes were very different in their structure and tenets as to be unrecognizable to the early anthropologists and historians.

View from Sydney Shore

Botany Bay, or Sydney as it is now known was wild bush in those days, which is why the Europeans of the new penal settlement assumed the land was largely uninhabited. There were no towns, cities or indeed no settlement structure they could recognize. Australia’s people of the First Nation, such as the Cadigal Mob of Sydney Cove lived lightly across the land. They largely left no mark as they lived as one with the land and its creatures. They in fact conducted themselves and their activities mostly in sympathy with the bush and country and the manner in which their world was ordered as they were a strongly spiritual people. As a kangaroo will pass over the land, feed, breed and live peacefully within its environment so did the tribal people. As they had done across Australia for 50,000 years or more and this long history on the land had led to some remarkable practices in natural husbandry and cultivation of foods developed in their ‘country’ as opposed to the often destructive practises of more progressively driven and commercially orientated cultures.

That in these very early days of the colony, the Aboriginal mobs were decimated all along the Eastern seaboard by what is now thought to be small pox along with other diseases, which had also wiped out much of the European population earlier, is a point of recorded history. The impact of this on Australia’s Aboriginal tribes is often overlooked or misinterpreted in fact by activists in favour of the more politically inflammable stance of genocide. Just as the reality of The Native Police Force is commonly ignored when speaking about massacres and the murderous mayhem of the Colonial times.

When I see the popular images of tribal Aboriginals in chains bartered around social media for the sake of impact, I am often spurred to point out that these tragic situations would never have likely come about without the cooperation of the Native Police Force which operated in the day, a group who were far greater in numbers than the Colonial Police force in Queensland and what is now the Northern Territory. The reality is that these dreadful and vivid images are more the consequence of cultural differences and the imposition of one Law over another more ancient Lore, which is why we now have Aboriginal advocates in our Legal system today. These images have little to do with evidence of early practices in cultural genocide, even though there is evidence that some elitist sectors, and other retaliatory groups as well as the vigilante’s such as the Frasers of Hornet Bank, Qld in the Colonial era of centuries past who did indulge in such atrocities. Atrocities which were committed in their origin by both racial groups.

The Kadaitcha were a very large part of the natural order of the native tribal people and were the law-keepers of their day. That their role as law-keepers was upsurped by European law is a point of history and should be recognized as such. The Kadaitcha were known by many names in different tribal languages, such as the Illapurinja (a name for the female Kadaitcha), the Karadji and the other like spiritual leaders and healers which generally were the ‘Clever Men & Women’ of Aboriginal society. These leaders kept order and they had many roles as can also be found elsewhere. As medical Doctors work in many fields, and as doctorates cover many studies and disciplines, the Clever Men also worked in many different ways. They acted as priests, clergymen, healers and sorcerers and they were known by many names. As did others who lived bound by the ancient Aboriginal Lore headed by the Kadaitcha Men, the Oruncha Men and their contemporaries.

Wandjina Figures

Aboriginal Lore can be interpreted as a serpent Lore largely, in the same way that Christianity has within its stories the tales of the serpent in the garden of Eden, the guy who bought to Adam and Eve knowledge. The Rainbow Serpent or Aboriginal Lore is a term coined by anthropologist and is not a term tribal people used widely as a deity figure. My research has found that there were many serpents of this ancient Lore and each has its own character and role in Aboriginal spiritual culture and within the Dreamtime. Although there is a more ancient tenet of the ‘Sky People’ or those who came from the water as told in some legends, otherwise known as the Wandjina, who have more ancient custodial links with the Dreamtime.

Tribal faith or lore amongst the Aboriginal Australians was so strong, so powerful that the religious leaders and historians from the Western world fought hard to denigrate its following and the basis of its faith and to this day they continue to do so largely. They use degrading terms as witch-doctor, charlatan and so on, completely ignoring the evidence of the corruption and deceit that is conducted within the skirts of the churches and faiths of the Western worlds religious partisans’ and across all other societies but focusing instead on the oldest cultural society in the world, that of the Australian Aborigine.

In all this though, It cannot be denied that Pemulwuy led his people wisely and was capable of some extraordinary feats, those which come within the realm of spiritual, paranormal or supernatural. Least of which was his escape from capture while being in leg irons and severely wounded, this added to his reputation as a remarkable Kadaitcha.

Pemulwuy led his warriors and his people against the colonists in what is known as the Battle of Parramatta. His guerrilla tactics were renown and remarkable, he and his people did not simply allow the colonists to take his tribal lands as is largely portrayed by Australian history. He also was not so hot headed as to not recognize when what was needed to preserve his clan, his family, was to seek peace. He was an Australian to be accounted and that he is not recognized as such is a travesty of our historical account.

So what marks a Kadaitcha Man, what makes him such a powerful figure in time? This is something that is explored in my novels of The Dreaming Series. After many, many years of research, personal interest and my own personal experience of my land I have written of something that is so little understood. Each of the four books in the series is the story of an Australian Aboriginal Shaman, the Karadji, the Shaman, Banman and Kadaitcha, all being ‘Clever Men’ of an ancient Lore. The stories tell of their lives, which lead them into the many dimensions of what is their world today, one we share. Only one point in the tales have been invented by me, the rest can be found in historical account, in legend and in Lore. It is Lore that is unique in its vast age and deep integrity, as accounted amongst the many religions of the world today.

The complete series though is a story essentially about the Kadaitcha, and a young man’s development within the knowledge of his Lore. It is a story of Tom’s growth in discovering this Lore as it survives in the world today. It is he who is the primary character throughout the telling however his story is often recounted through the eyes of others around him but the story will give you an understanding of a very ancient culture how perhaps still surviving in a contemporary world.

Happy reading everyone!

What happened to the Druids

conquest of the druids refers to the Roman campaign against the druid stronghold on the island of Anglesey (Mona) in 60-61 AD and their subsequent final subjugation by Gnaeus Julius Agricola in 78 AD, which effectively ended the druids as a significant political and religious power in Roman Britain. While the Romans focused their conquest on Anglesey in Wales, they also encountered druidic practices in Gaul and Ireland, but the Anglesey campaign was their most direct and decisive attempt to eliminate druidism. 

The Roman Invasion of Anglesey (60-61 AD)

  • Targeting Druidism:

    The Roman governor, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, targeted the island of Anglesey because it was a major druidic center. 

  • The Battle:

    Roman soldiers encountered druids and women dressed as furies on the shores of Anglesey, chanting and creating a terrifying spectacle that initially intimidated the Roman troops. 

  • Destruction of Sacred Sites:

    The Roman army eventually overcame their fear and routed the defenders. Paulinus then ordered the destruction of the sacred groves (nemeta), where he believed inhumane superstitions, including human sacrifice, took place. 

  • Interruption and Completion:

    News of Boudica's revolt interrupted Paulinus's conquest, but the island was finally brought into the Roman Empire by Gnaeus Julius Agricola in 78 AD. 

Broader Context and Later Developments

  • Roman Suppression Elsewhere:

    The Roman government had suppressed druid orders in Gaul earlier, and druids disappeared from the written record by the 2nd century. 

  • Christianity and Druids in Ireland and Scotland:

    While the Roman conquest focused on Britain, druidic practices likely also existed in Ireland and Scotland.However, by the time Irish monks began to write about them, often portraying druids as opponents of Christianity, the actual druidic traditions had long vanished. 

  • English Isles Context:

    The term "English Isles" typically refers to the later Anglo-Norman conquest of the British Isles starting in the 12th century, which was a separate, later process aimed at consolidating English control over Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. The conquest of the druids by the Romans was an earlier event in the Roman conquest of Britain.

Druids in ancient Celtic societies were versatile figures serving as priests, teachers, judges, political advisors, and healers, holding significant power and influence. They were spiritual leaders overseeing religious practices, responsible for transmitting vast amounts of oral lore and philosophy. They also acted as healers and medicinal experts, using nature and possibly mistletoe for their remedies. As teachers and judges, they educated the youth, adjudicated conflicts, and advised rulers, making them integral to the social and political order of their communities.  

Role as Spiritual Leaders and Teachers

  • Priests and Ritual Experts:

    Druids officiated at religious ceremonies and sacrifices, playing a central role in the spiritual life of Celtic communities. 

  • Lorekeepers and Philosophers:

    They preserved and taught an extensive oral tradition, including astronomy, natural philosophy, and the beliefs about the afterlife, such as reincarnation. 

  • Educators:

    The education of children was a significant part of the Druidic role, involving a long period of study to learn the vast oral teachings by heart. 

Role as Healers

  • Doctors and Potions:

    Druids were recognized as medical professionals who made potions and medicines from natural ingredients. 

  • Ritualistic Gatherings:

    They had deep reverence for nature, using specific plants like mistletoe for healing purposes. 

Other Key Roles

  • Judges and Arbitrators:

    They presided over courts of justice and mediated community disputes, holding great authority in their decisions. 

  • Political Advisors:

    Druids offered counsel to rulers and chieftains, sometimes even acting to pacify warring tribes and ensure peace. 

  • Guardians of Knowledge:

    In their roles as lorekeepers and judges, they helped maintain the social and political order through their wisdom and impartiality. 

Sources of Information 

  • Due to Druids' oral tradition, our understanding comes primarily from the accounts of their contemporaries, such as the Greeks and Romans, including writers like Julius Caesar and Pliny the Elder.

The Spanish conquest of the Americas(1519-1533) was a series of wars fought byNew Spainin hopes of conquering additional lands to their empire. The Spanish managed to conquer the southern parts ofNorth America, theCaribbean, and much ofSouth Americafrom theAztec Empire,Inca Empire, and other tribes.

Contents

Background

The voyages of Christopher Columbus between 1492 and 1504 opened up a New World, but it soon became exploited by the Old one, and destruction followed discovery.

New World Colonies

Spain's colonization of Middle and South America's pagan cultures was ostensibly a Christianizing mission. But those adventurers who overtook the dirty work of conquest - the conquistadors - were tough, ruthless opportunists in search of booty. After all, these savages were ignorant of the Gospel; and they did moreover possess fabulous quantities of gold.

Imperial Strength

Prior to the Europeans' incursions, the Aztecs' crushing of other Mesoamerican peoples led to the creation of their empire. They had widened their dominions through the Valley of Mexico in a series of conquests from the 16th century. Over the same period, the Incas had founded an even larger empire - over 3,500 km across - conquering civilizations like the Chimu. On the eve of the Spanish conquest both empires were consolidating their power.

Wars

It was prophesied that the plumed serpent god, Quetzacoatl, would one day appear from the eastern ocean in human form. When this happened, the destruction that the priests had been staving off with their animal and human sacrifices could be postponed no longer: Aztec civilization would meet its catastrophic end. When Hernan Cortes arrived from Spain in 1519, he was believed to be that serpent god. Yet the myth was of Spanish, rather than Mexican, origin; it was encouraged by Cortes in order to intimidate the people he was conquering.

That Cortes and his little band of men were able to subdue such an incredibly powerful empire was extraordinary. His courage, charisma, and ruthlessness are not in doubt. Nor is the cunning with which he exploited the existing enmities among the native peoples of Mesoamerica.

Alliances and Atrocities

Cortes took Malinche, a Nahua woman whose people were hostile to the Aztecs, as hi smistress and interpreter. with her help, he allied with the Tlaxcaltecas in what is now Tlaxcala in Mexico: they too felt threatened by the Aztecs. At Cholula, west of Puebla, Cortes and his men killed the male population, without doubt at the urging ot the Tlaxcaltecas, who wanted to punish the Cholulans for submitting to Aztec rule. "We fought so hard", said Cortes, "in two hours more than 3,000 men were killed". 

This atrocity sent a message to Mexico's peoples. The scale of the slaughter the Spanish had been able to commit with their steel weapons and their firearms was scarcely imaginable to them. Hence the nervous adulation bestowed upon Cortes and his company upon arrival at the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, though ruler Moctezuma II seems to have taken Cortes's claims to be an "ambassador" at face value. The conquistador repaid his hospitality by taking him hostage. For six months Cortes ruled the empire with Moctezuma as his puppet. Then his lieutenant, Pedro de Alvarado, took fright at the talk of a revolt and massacred the Aztec nobility. Cortes and his men had to fight their way out of the rebellion that ensued. Moctezuma was among those who died. Cortes was lucky to escape with 200 survivors.

Unequal struggles

In the months that followed, Cortes besieged Tenochtitlan, now stricken with the smallpox the conquistadors had unwittingly brought with them. Over 40% of the population died. Under Cuauhtemoc, the nephew of Moctezuma, the Aztecs resisted bravely. And they held a number of advantages, as Cortes and his men were aware. Frankly, Cortes acknowledged, they were daunted: "They had calculated that if 25,000 of them died for every one of us, they would finish with us first, for they were many and we were but few". The city's situation - on a series of islands in a shallow lake, connected to the mainland and to each other by narrow causeways - allowed defenders to focus their efforts more effectively. Even so, it was only a matter of time before the Spanish and their allies prevailed: Tenochtitlan fell on 13 August 1521. 

European firepower and know-how had not been enough by themselves to overwhelm the Aztecs, buthad given the Spanish attack an extra edge.

Inca complacency

In the 1530s Francisco Pizarro took Peru against still more astounding odds. The Inca king, Atahualpa, had an army of 80,000 to Pizarro's 128 men. The latter did, of course, have weapons never before seen in South America - arquebuses and cannon, as well as steel-bladed swords. And they had horses, until then unknown on the continent. But in the end it was Inca complacency that allowed Pizarro's party to probe deep into the empire completely unscathed. Triumphant victor of a civil war that had wreaked the Inca empire for the last three years, and with his rival and half-brother captured, Atahualpa had no reason to take a handful of "bandits and thieves" seriously. The two sides met eventually, at the city of Cajamrca, in northern Peru. The conquistadors kept to their Christian commitment by bringing a priest out to preach to the Inca king. When Atahualpa brushed him aside, the Spanish had a pretext for attacking, and opened up with cannon and arquebuses. Although their noise and smoke had far greater impact than their penetrative power, the cold steel of the conquistadors cut down the Inca troops, shocked into passivity.

In a few hours of one-sided fighting, Pizarro's men killed 7,000 Incas; then they seized Atahualpa. This proved so astonishing an outrage that the watching soldiers could barely believe it was happening. He was their divinity: now he was a prisoner; the Inca state had been decapitated. Holding Atahualpa captive in Cajamrca, the conquistadors demanded an enormous ransom, and then garroted the king anyway, setting another puppet, Manqo Qapac, in his place. Qapac quickly grew disenchanted and slipped away into the mountains. He led a belated fightback, but the Incas were finally defeated in 1536. Once again the courage of the Spanish conquistadors is as staggering as ther unscrupulousness: holed up in Cuzco, they saw off a siege by some 40,000 of Qapac's men.

Aftermath

In just a few years, and with only a tiny commitment of manpower, Spain had won a vast American empire. Its riches underwrote Spain's emergence as a superpower.

Further Conquests

Other conquistadors took other territories: Vasco Nunez de Balboa in Panama; Francisco de Orellanain the Amazon; Pedro de Valdivia in Chile - such adventurers grew fabulously wealthy.

Deadly Diseases

The cruelty of the colonists was dwarfed in destructiveness by the ravages of the infections they introduced. In every region of the Americas, epidemologists estimate that 90% of the population had been killed by disease within just 50 years of the arrivals of the Europeans.

Under Subjection

Mexico and Peru remained viceroyalties of "New Spain", despite the attempt of Tupac Amaru, a descendant of the Inca kings, to throw out the invaders in 1572

How to build a Church

Right on Henry — that’s a big sweep of history, but I’ll give you a structured account of how Christianity grew out of, and alongside, the Roman Empire, eventually becoming the Holy Roman Church.

🌱 1. Roots in the Roman World

  • 1st century CE:

    • Christianity began as a small Jewish sect in Roman-ruled Judea (modern Israel/Palestine).

    • Jesus’ followers preached his message after his crucifixion (ca. 30 CE).

    • Early Christians faced suspicion for refusing to worship Roman gods or the emperor — seen as subversive.

  • Early spread:

    • Roman roads, trade networks, and the Greek language made it possible for Christianity to spread quickly across cities like Antioch, Alexandria, Corinth, and Rome itself.

    • The Apostle Paul was key: he framed Christianity in universal terms, making it appealing to non-Jews (Gentiles).

🔥 2. Persecution & Underground Growth

  • 1st–3rd centuries:

    • Sporadic persecutions under emperors like Nero (64 CE), Decius (249 CE), and Diocletian (303 CE).

    • Christians often gathered in catacombs (subterranean burial sites) — both symbolic and practical.

    • Despite this, Christianity kept growing, especially among the poor, slaves, and women, offering hope, community, and charity.

  • By 300 CE, estimates suggest maybe 5–10% of the Empire’s population was Christian.

✝️ 3. Constantine & the Turning Point

  • 313 CE – Edict of Milan: Emperor Constantine (after his vision of the Cross at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 CE) legalized Christianity alongside other religions.

  • Constantine funded church building (e.g., Old St Peter’s Basilica in Rome), granted bishops power, and convened the Council of Nicaea (325 CE) to unify doctrine.

  • Christianity now shifted from persecuted sect → favored imperial religion.

👑 4. The Roman Empire Becomes Christian

  • 380 CE – Theodosius I issued the Edict of Thessalonica, making Nicene Christianity the official religion of the Empire. Pagan temples were closed, and non-Christian practices gradually outlawed.

  • The Church gained wealth, land, and influence, merging with imperial administration. Bishops often functioned like civic leaders.

  • Rome fell to the Goths in 410 CE, and the Western Empire collapsed in 476 CE — but the Church survived, filling the vacuum of authority.

⛪ 5. The Birth of the Holy Roman Church

  • In the West, the Bishop of Rome (the Pope) increasingly claimed primacy, tracing authority back to Peter (“Prince of the Apostles”).

  • Monasticism (Benedictines, ca. 6th century) preserved learning and Christian practice through the so-called “Dark Ages.”

  • The Church gradually Christianized pagan festivals and sites, absorbing Roman traditions (ritual, law, architecture, Latin language).

🦅 6. The Holy Roman Empire

  • 800 CE – Christmas Day: Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne as Imperator Romanorum (“Emperor of the Romans”), creating the Holy Roman Empire in Western Europe.

  • This linked Christian kingship with papal authority — the Pope crowned emperors, and emperors defended the faith.

  • The Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire in Constantinople had already been Christian for centuries, but its patriarchs resisted papal supremacy (leading to the Great Schism of 1054).

⚖️ 7. Legacy

  • From then on, the Holy Roman Church (Western Latin Christianity under the Pope) became the dominant spiritual, cultural, and often political force in Europe for a millennium.

  • Roman law, imperial structure, and classical philosophy were repurposed into Christian theology (e.g., Augustine, Aquinas).

  • The empire was gone, but its skeleton lived on in the Church’s hierarchy, ritual, and even architecture.

✅ In short:
Christianity started as a marginalized Jewish sect → spread through Roman roads and cities → gained imperial favor under Constantine → became Rome’s official religion under Theodosius → preserved and reshaped Roman traditions after the fall of the Empire → emerged as the Holy Roman Church, carrying the Roman legacy into medieval Europe

Sacred Sites

No, not at the moment thanks, what I would like to know is, the correlation between building churches and cathedrals on key lines or nodes on intersecting energy grid lines, would this corral the energy, thanks Henry out

ChatGPT said:

Ah — you’re touching on one of those topics where history, architecture, geomancy and esotericism all overlap.

Here’s a clear rundown of what’s actually known and what’s speculative about churches, cathedrals, and “energy grid” lines:

1️⃣ The Concept of “Energy Grid Lines”

  • In Western esoteric tradition these are usually called ley lines (term coined by Alfred Watkins, 1920s).

  • Originally, Watkins noticed alignments of old churches, ancient mounds, and trackways across the English countryside. He proposed they were ancient trade or pilgrimage routes.

  • Later, in the 1960s–70s, New Age authors expanded the idea: instead of simple human paths, they became “energy” lines — a sort of earth-spanning grid of subtle power.

2️⃣ Church & Cathedral Placement

  • Historical / Practical reasons:

    • Many churches were built on earlier pagan or sacred sites (springs, hilltops, groves). This was a way to ease conversion of local populations.

    • Medieval builders aligned churches with sunrise, solstices, or local topography for symbolic reasons.

  • Esoteric claims:

    • Some writers (John Michell, Paul Devereux) argue churches on intersecting ley lines act as “acupuncture points” for the earth.

    • The high mass of cathedrals (stone, geometry, resonance) allegedly amplifies or modulates subtle energies.

    • The idea of “nodes” on a planetary grid (Becker-Hagens “Earth Star” grid) is sometimes invoked.

3️⃣ “Corralling” Energy

  • Speculative model:
    In geomancy or feng shui-like traditions, building on a node is seen as focusing or “anchoring” the qi / telluric currents.
    A cathedral’s ground plan (cross shape), vaulting, and spires supposedly channel this energy upward, like an antenna.

  • Physical model:
    No reproducible evidence exists for a measurable electromagnetic or geophysical energy specifically at ley intersections. Surveys of magnetic anomalies or geoelectric currents don’t match ley maps.

  • Psychological / cultural effect:
    Sacred architecture, location on prominent landscape features, and ritual use can feel powerful and induce altered states — which could be the “energy” people sense.

4️⃣ Examples

  • Chartres Cathedral (France): built on a pre-Christian sacred site with an underground spring and labyrinth — often cited as a “node.”

  • St Michael’s Line (UK): a supposed straight alignment of churches from Cornwall to Norfolk.

  • Machu Picchu / Andean wak’as: Inca shrines linked by ceques (ritual lines) — a non-European analogue.

5️⃣ Bottom Line

  • Historically: placement was about tradition, symbolism, water sources, astronomy, and politics.

  • Esoterically: many believe these sites act as “corralling” points for earth energies, like acupuncture for the planet.

  • Scientifically: no measurable “grid energy” has been confirmed — but the social and architectural effects (acoustics, magnetism of stone, resonance, and human perception) are real enough.

Done — I made a simplified world schematic showing a stylized Becker-Hagens-style grid (triangular / nodal pattern) with major sacred sites plotted and labeled.

You can download the image here: Download the image

Notes:

  • This is an illustrative schematic, not an exact scientific rendering of the Becker-Hagens grid (those maps use precise spherical geometry and specific node coordinates).

  • If you want a more accurate overlay (true Becker-Hagens nodes, or plotted over a full world map with coastlines), I can do that next — I’ll need to either fetch a precise node dataset (I can look one up) or you can tell me which exact nodes/sites you want plotted. Which would you prefer?

Demus Ei Verberationem

“Gee, who do we have here, the king of the Jews, what say fellow legionaries, Demus ei verberationem, all the way, Centurion, let’s hoe in”.

Sounds a bit similar to my situation, not that I’m the king of the Jews or anything, but build up the story, tell everyone a load of bullshit for ever and ever, give them enough drugs and human nature will do the rest. “I raped the Messiah, and I’m going to do it over and over again”, screaming through the walls, do you think that if anyone thought I was the Messiah, that I would be left to to rot and die in some cretin’s paradise, no, I don’t think so. I would have a phalanx of armed guards around me, 12 disciples and a hot wife, you fucking morons. I hear people in the township of Donald, or at least some, after all, Sodom and Gomorrah did have some good people, are, should I say, very impressed that you would brag about gang raping their Messiah, with your 14 members of Unit One, Donald HQ, and not only brag quietly, but scream about it, tell all your mates to tell everyone about it, and publish it on the dark web. So, how are things today, raped any more Messiah?, how about a prophet, maybe a catholic priest, but they’re one of yours, aren’t they, so they don’t get touched, don’t get charged, until there’s a thousand complaints then they might get a retreat to go too, to engage in rehabilitation classes run by the church and told not to do it again, just like teddy dowlan, Brother Dowlan, what was it losers, 97 charges, against the Christian brother who, on your orders, pulverised my hands when I was 12 years old, by savagely beating me, by strapping me, up to 48 times or more, every day. And they all kicked back with their little envelope of money from the syndicate, laughed how that shitty little Henry banwell would never be able to play piano again, would never be able to play with Frank Zappa again, like when he did when he was 11 and played JD’s Boogie Woogie with Frank Zappa, never be one of the greatest piano players of all time, fuck him, dirty little smartarse, wouldn’t join John’s gang, didn’t like John Hankook and John’s father doing over his mother when he was 4 years old, little sook.

So how’s things today losers?

Some Thoughts

Way back, long time ago, before recorded history, people worshipped the divine spirit, a God or spirit that was both male and female in principle, because , to have a son or daughter , means that you need a mother and a father. All , in the Universe is matter and energy, yin and yang, hot and cold, up and down, left and right, winter and summer, all things are expressed by their inherent duality. Therefore, a God, or Spirit, or Totem, or whatever you praise, will have a female and male, or positive and negative , aspect, negative does not mean bad, it means the opposite of what is positive, winter is not necessarily bad, not inherently, sure, it’s cold, dark, wet, frosty and the windows on your car ice over, but we must have winter, or else the fruit trees do not lie dormant and begin their cycle of rebirth, once spring reappears, so , do not judge the negative as bad.

To , once again, iterate my original story, back in the day, men and women and children , worshipped a God that was both male and female, a combined duality that expressed all things. But some dirty little creep was shunned by a woman, didn’t want to marry him, he was a creep, so he sought his revenge. Eventually, he rose to power and decreed that the female aspect of the Godhead should be removed, it was weak and could not hunt, the female’s place was in the kitchen, not to be venerated and worshipped as part of the whole. So the female side of God was removed and God became a man, all man with no feminine aspect, because that was weak, and as they say in Donald through the walls, “Women are only good for fuck meat”.

“Why is it so”, said the erudite Professor, because once the female was cast down, then society and civilisation would be one sided, unbalanced, and totally fucked in the head. Equal rights for women, give women the vote, equal pay and conditions for women, ring any bells dickheads. And what about those priests and Christian brothers, what a pack of fucking insane losers. No, you can’t marry a woman and have a family, you have to be celibate for the rest of your life. Dickheads, don’t you realise that one of the natural, inherent, biological and evolutionary traits, woven into our genetics, part of our DNA, is to procreate, which means that nature, and the rest of the fucking Universe, wants it’s sentient creatures to have a family, offspring, go forth and multiply, yada, yada, yada. What do you think is going to happen when some frustrated fuckwit gets up on a pulpit, starts talking about raising a family, how you should go about it, in the Church’s way, as aligned to the Christian faith, Christian family values, etc, what do you think happens when the male priest, 28 years old, never had a root, see’s a hot looking woman in the congregation, does he have a wife to go home too, that he can shag, no, he’s got to go and jerk off in the back of the presbytery, knock the top off and all that sort of thing. And he’s still going to be frustrated, what do you think happens when you put a Christian brother, in a school with other Christian brothers, with all male students, what the fuck do you think he’s got as eye candy, little boys, you brain dead morons. Not only that, we’re going to have hideous sculptures and statues of a person nailed up on a crucifix with a bloody great wreath or crown of thorns on his head, with a spear wound in his side, “Look at that kids, doesn’t that just make your day, that’s what happened to our glorious and beloved Messiah, that’s what happened to Jesus Christ, and we’re so entranced by the time that he, Jeshua, was totally and completely fucked up the arse, that we’re going to put it on the wall and tell everyone all about the grisly details, forever and ever, just to hammer home the fact, that this is what happens to shitty little Messiahs, Prophets, Spirit Guides, Shamans, Witch Doctors, Kadaitcha men, Druids, Vestal Virgins, anyone like that, anyone in that ilk, that thinks that they can give people back their own power by leading and helping them along the path of life, by themselves, with only the help of the Creator, and not need us, has got another thing coming sonny boy, sonny jimbo, not on your neelie, not on my watch, nah mate, we make the rules, we say what goes, and you pay us for the knowledge, that way, we can get filthy rich off the sweat of your brow, rape your women and children, make you do all the work, and laugh all the way to the bank, and all the while we’ll tell you how to get to the kingdom of heaven, so eat shit and die loser, got the picture, now get back to work , and if I hear another word from you, I’ll dock your credits and your family gets done over”.

The Arrival

I suppose I could tell you about the progression of events so far in this isolated hamlet, but when you reach the end of the gambit, it no longer holds any thrall. They laughed and danced to my despair, or so it would seem, and the ebb and flow of the tide carried me forward. I suppose, one can only laugh and bow when the final curtain call comes, but that is for another day.

Mesmerising was or could be a word that I would use, perchance on the most auspicious occasion I could think of, but I could think of none. It was quiet at the moment and they did surmise that they had finally destroyed me, they thought they had dealt me a lethal blow, a dose of meth gas, unbeknownst to me, as I only heard it through the walls. “I raped the Messiah and I loved it, and I’m going to do it over and over again, so suffer Earth, we fucked your Messiah, or one of your Messiah’s, and now he’ll be useful for nothing, so your next, get ready for an arse pounding Donald”, from a dedicated miscreant, unknown to me but suffering from a complete absence of etiquette. So the story for the last few days went that I was the Messiah, little had I realised previous to that news that I was indeed the Messiah, but their triumphant battle cry was that they had gang raped the Messiah on live internet, was broadcast live, with people cheering and drinking, taking drugs, celebrating, and watched as 14 people arse pounded the Messiah. Not that I’m the Messiah, I do believe in God, and yes, I do believe that I gazed upon the face of God one time, but that’s another story. No amazing deal or anything, pretty bloody good, but achievable by anyone who loves their God in their heart of hearts. But, as I said to God, “Must’ve been a crime God”, didn’t receive an immediate reply, but maybe in the mail later this week. So apparently, they hate anyone who, worships, God, sees God or has a vision, preaches the word of God, whatever that is, so if you’ve got something good to say and comes from up above and is channeled through the heart will help. To cut a long story short, I come from a place I call the Void, I remember before I arrived in my body, I used to play 12 instruments, I helped develop the computer back in the 60’s, I was dux of my classical music class, I was a potter, music teacher, encyclopaedia Brittanica salesman, farm manager, Rickie, builder, farmer, plasterer, Monash Uni technician, assistant Tai Chi instructor in my first year in 93, been given 1052 different frugs, chemicals and poisons against my wishes, been on the internet for ever, can remote view, did talk to Dr. Kit Green, no I don’t work for the CIA, the Police or ASIO, you can all go and get fucked, because if that’s the way you treat a Messiah, God help you when they come for you.

Magnetic Drift

G’day Henry — all’s well here. Good question. Short version up front: Earth’s magnetic north pole has moved roughly ~880–900 km since 2007 (≈49 km/year on average), it’s wandering toward Siberia, and that movement doesn’t change the planet’s orientation or slide Australia 4,000 km. Below I explain the numbers, why magnetic and geographic poles are different, what does get affected (navigation, compasses, some animals, local radiation/aurora patterns), and why the big-picture effects on ecosystems and the planet are small unless a rare, long-term magnetic reversal happens.

How far the poles have moved (numbers)

  • A high-quality survey in April 2007 placed the North Magnetic Pole at about 83.95° N, 120.72° W.

  • NOAA’s current modeled dip-pole location for 2025 (WMM/WMM-derived dip pole) is roughly 85.76° N, 139.30° E.

  • The great-circle distance between those two positions is ≈885 km, which over ~18 years is ≈49 km per year on average (this matches independent estimates of ~50 km/yr during the 2000s and a more variable rate since).

(Scientists report the pole’s speed has varied — it sped up in the late 20th/early 21st century and has shown decelerations and accelerations since — so year-to-year rates change.)

Geographic orientation vs. magnetic poles — what actually moves

  • Magnetic poles are where the magnetic field is vertical; they wander because of flows of molten iron and changing magnetic sources in Earth’s outer core. Geographic (rotational) poles — the spin axis — are essentially fixed on human time scales and determine where continents sit. Movement of the magnetic pole does not move continents. Plate tectonics (continental drift) moves landmasses at centimetres per year, so a 4,000 km continental shift would take many millions of years, not decades.

So: Australia will not be 4,000 km “in another direction” because the magnetic pole moved.

Practical effects (what

does

change)

  1. Navigation and maps: Magnetic declination (the angle between magnetic north and true north) changes with pole movement. Aircraft, ships, and consumer devices that rely on magnetic models need regular updates (World Magnetic Model updates every few years) so headings remain accurate.

  2. Compasses: A handheld compass still points to the local magnetic field; users just need to know the current declination for accurate bearings. Rapid pole motion means some navigation systems get more frequent recalibration.

  3. Satellites, space weather & radiation: The magnetosphere — the large-scale magnetic bubble — still protects Earth from most solar wind and CMEs. Local changes in field strength or geometry (as poles move and field intensity varies) can alter where charged particles enter the atmosphere, changing where aurora appear and slightly modifying radiation exposure for high-altitude flights and some satellites. But these are regional or operational concerns rather than planet-wide catastrophes.

  4. Animals that use magnetoreception: Many species (migratory birds, some marine animals) sense the magnetic field. They use multiple cues (sun, stars, landmarks, smell and magnetic cues). The pole’s gradual movement is slow relative to animal lifetimes and these species have shown adaptability or use redundant cues — so large, sudden ecological collapses are not expected from pole drift alone. Scientists continue to study how animals track a “moving” magnetic map.

What about the Sun — would pole movement change solar effects?

  • The magnetosphere’s overall ability to deflect the solar wind depends on the global field strength and structure (not the exact geographic location of the dip poles). Pole wandering itself does not suddenly strip the atmosphere or dramatically increase surface radiation. Instead, temporary changes in field strength (for example, during a long, slow weakening of the field) can allow more energetic particles into the upper atmosphere, increasing radiation risks for satellites and high-flying aircraft, and expanding auroral zones. NASA and others monitor these parameters and space weather.

Reversals and bigger changes — rare, long timescales

  • Geological records show the magnetic field has reversed many times (north and south swap) over hundreds of thousands to millions of years. A reversal is a long, complex process (centuries–thousands of years) during which the field weakens and becomes more complex.

  • Even during reversals, evidence suggests life has survived — extinctions are not obviously linked to pole reversals — though there would be increased space-weather concerns and engineering implications for modern technology. Scientists keep studying possible impacts and timelines.

Quick recap (tl;dr)

  • Pole movement since 2007: ~885 km (≈49 km/yr average).

  • Will Australia shift 4,000 km? No — magnetic pole wandering does not move continents; that’s controlled by plate tectonics (cm/yr).

  • Main impacts: updated magnetic models for navigation, small regional shifts in aurora and radiation patterns, possible modest effects on magnetoreceptive animals — but no immediate global catastrophe.

If you like, I can:

  • show a small map or animation of the North Magnetic Pole’s track since 1831 (NOAA/BGS data), or

  • compute the year-by-year position and a per-year speed table between 2007–2025 so you can see the acceleration/deceleration — which bits sped up and which slowed down.

Continental Drift

In the last 18 years (from roughly 2007 to 2025), the north magnetic pole has moved approximately 900 to 1,000 kilometers (560 to 620 miles) toward Siberia. This rapid movement is due to shifts in molten iron deep within the Earth's core and averages about 55 kilometers (34 miles) per year, a significant increase from its slower speed in the 20th century. 

North Magnetic Pole Movement

  • Historical Speed:

    The north magnetic pole moved from Canada to Siberia at a rate that accelerated from about 9 km (5.6 mi) per year in the early 2000s to about 55 km (34 mi) per year in the years following. 

  • Last 18 Years:

    The pole has traveled approximately 900–1,000 km (560–620 mi) during this period. 

  • Current Direction:

    The magnetic north pole is currently moving northwest toward Siberia. 

  • Reason:

    This shift is driven by the movement of molten iron in the Earth's outer core. 

South Magnetic Pole Movement

  • Slow Movement: In contrast, the south magnetic pole has been moving less rapidly. 

  • Direction: It is drifting eastward over the coast of Antarctica. 

Impact 

  • Navigation:

    The rapid movement of the magnetic north pole requires regular updates to the World Magnetic Model, which is used for navigation by the military and civilian systems.

  • No Climate Link:

    There is little scientific evidence linking the movement of the magnetic poles to climate change.

John Willet

Peter Fielder, as he likes to be known, even knows this slag John Willet, that I shared a house with in Beaufort. I found these photos and about 3147 other items, photos, chatroom transcripts, names and addresses, in John Willets possessions, after he did a runner on me and left owing rent, bills and food. Peter Fielder, other wise known as David Lancaster, so they say, even knows who John Willet is, how do you know John Willet, David.

Busy Next Door

In and out, through the back door, stay for a while, then leave through the front door, bit of abuse directed towards me, all through the night. One memorable night, I woke up to the sound of someone saying, “Masturbate to child pornography, you know you want too, just touch down there, doesn’t that feel good”, apparently they were saying that to a 10 or 12 year old boy, somewhere.
