The Legend of Faust Faust (or Latin Faustus) is the central character in an old German tale about a doctor who makes a pact with the Devil. It has been the inspiration for many fictional works, most notably by Christopher Marlowe, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Klaus Mann, Thomas Mann, Oscar Wilde and Mikhail Bulgakov. The legend tells of a scholar's quest for forbidden or advanced knowledge of material things, in which Doctor Faust summons the Devil (Mephistopheles). Together they make a pact in which Mephistopheles offers to serve Faust for a period of time, at the cost of his soul. Some scholars think that the story of Faust originated in northern Germany, and was eventually committed to print in the sixteenth century as Historia von D. Iohan Fausten. Others note the Latin title and suggest that the story may have come from an even earlier source. It was translated into English and Christopher Marlowe used it for his play, The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus. Marlowe's version served to inspire Faust, by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, which may be considered the definitive Faust. download Goethe's tragedy free from Project Gutenberg |  |

AKO CHI GUNNA TEKAYA TOH An Oral History Marie Courtoreille (nee Wichihiwesis, or Walker) lost her life in a fire at her home in Faust in 1982. She was 101. At over a century in age she had no trouble threading a needle, still had her own teeth, and needed no glasses. Marie Witchihiwesis was born on the shore of Lesser Slave Lake just west of the mouth of Old Man Creek on a day in May, 1881. Her father Henry Witchihiwesis and mother Nancy Giroux had her baptised in 1883 at the parish mission of St. Bernard at Lesser Slave Lake settlement. At 18 she married Alexander Courtoreille, stayed along the lakeshore, and in her own words, "lived on fish and meat." It is from her family that the earliest oral history of the community dates. Local tradition has it that the Native people used the location at Giroux Bay as a fishing camp where the year's supply of fish was strung on poles in the sun for drying. The place may well have been called (as tradition has it): Ako chi gunna ("that which is hung") Tekaya toh ("where it takes place"): The Place Where They Hang The Fish. an interview with 83-year-old [Pat Lalonde] at Faust, 1972 |

Backyard Wild Plants ~ the useful and the beautiful [read it]
Earth provides sustenance to all its life, and the vegetable kingdom alone is a storehouse of food, medicine, tools, clothing, craft and housing materials. For uncounted ages humanity lived in intimate relation with the natural world. Over millennia of experimentation, (each in their differing environment) people acquired a vast 'tried and true' knowledge of plants in their own 'backyard', which has been preserved in folklore, in ancient 'herbals' and by modern science as well as in every day use. |

 | Woodsman, woodsman spare that tree Touch not a single bough. For in my youth it sheltered me And I'll protect it now. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson |
The boreal forests stretch across the northern hemisphere toward the Arctic shores. The dense cover of evergreens casts an unbroken shadow on the ground beneath for measureless distances. Undergrowth is scanty, and the somber mood is but rarely relieved by the brighter hues of flowers and grasses. But the forest is far from continuous. Flat areas are often too poorly drained to support tree growth and become bogs or muskegs in which mosses and grasses are abundant. Exposed slopes may grow bald as winter winds whip only low-growing, heathy shrubs and herbaceous plants, like those in high mountain ranges, or in the continuous tundra to the north. In the forest proper, no species of coniferous tree has the same demand and gradually segregate in almost pure stands of one or another. Nations grew among the tall, straight softwoods which were convenient for building and had many other uses. The environment nurtured a stable economy with a large range of plant (and animal) raw material, and the forest soil could be converted into grasslands or arable soils which maintained their fertility or even increased it. Much of the former virgin boreal forest has been very much modified ~ felled and burned, and species of deciduous trees as birch, poplar, willow and alder cover large areas where formerly they occurred in small, infrequent clumps or as isolated individuals. In a certain sense therefor it can be spoken of as a mixed forest' (though science will note that if left alone it will become once again truly boreal, while the true mixed forest remains so by dictates of climate and soil). |

| ________________________________ [Stone Age] in proetry listen to Stone Age by albert | The Stone Age skeletons of a young man and woman were uncovered during digs in Valdaro, an area not far from the central Italian city of Mantua. The man probably died first, say experts, while his companion was sacrificed or chose to die in order to remain with her partner in death. The pair, who have been nicknamed 'the lovers of Valdaro', were buried opposite one another, lying face to face. When archaeologists discovered them, their arm and leg bones were still clearly overlapping, showing they were iaid to rest intertwined. The double burial is drawing widespread attention as it is unique in northern Italy. The only comparable discoveries have been family burials. However, in these, family members are usually laid in parallel lines, with the exception of one woman found clutching her baby. The skeleton on the left, that of the man, had a flint arrowhead at the height of his neck vertebra. The woman's body on the right was found with a long flint blade resting between her thigh and hip bones. Experts believe the weapons may either have been buried with the skeletons as a kind of funeral treasure or, more ominously, may have been the cause of the pair's deaths. "We will now recover the two skeletons without separating them," said Elena Menotti, the director of the Mantua office of the Lombardy Archaeological Superintendency. "They will eventually be placed in the National Archaeological Museum of Mantua, which will be ready in a couple of years' time". They were discovered in an area spanning around 15,000 square metres, which has been under excavation for the last two months. Experts are unearthing the remains of a vast, Roman country villa, complete with baths, pipes and defensive walls with buttresses. |

 Joseph Campbell, The Mythic Image: 'Every sound normally heard is of two things striking together .... The only sound not so made is that of the creative energy of the universe, the hum, so to speak, of the void, which is antecedent to things, and of which things are precipitations. This, they say, is heard as from within, within oneself and simultaneously within space. It is the sound beyond silence, heard as OM (very deeply intoned, I am told, somewhere about C below C). |

'pseudo history' having been accused by a visitor of providing 'pseudo history' in various sections of this webpage, i would like to point out that much of what we know as history (especially that of the earliest times) is highly subjective and the best one can do most times is sift throught the biases and add our own _____________________________________ "Born in the mystical conception of the early Aryans, and placed by them at the very threshold of eternity," as Blavatsky wrote, it has been extensively used as a most sacred decoration and mystical symbol in almost all parts of the world since pre-historic times. Again Blavatsky: "The Svastica is the most philosophically scientific of all symbols, as also the most comprehensible. It is the summary in a few lines of the whole work of creation, or evolution, as one should rather say ... [and] is found heading the religious symbols of every old nation."

 Odel Rune | [capitalist democracy] ~ [my security, your security, whose security?] What Makes Us Free Othila is land "held in absolute ownership without service or acknowledgment of any superior, as among the early Teutons," which is the Oxford English Dictionary definition of the word allodium. This is the all-odel as opposed to the fee-odel (which shows the influence by the world view of southern empires that propounded a feudalism that took the concept of odel, the ancestral land that was possessed unconditionally by the free Teuton clans, to attach a fee or obligation to it, thus making it a feudal possession). The idea of fealty was deeply influenced by the ancient belief in odality that demands the free holding of land, for to hold land freely is ennobling, and the importance of freedom as a concept among the people became an essential of nobility; thus in Old English ethel it means native land or estate, patrimony; OE athel is noble, of noble descent or good family. The same word in Old Norse means family, race, ancestry. |

alberts and anarchy
Albert Einstein's Why Socialism (1949) in Monthly Review:
The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evil.
Albert Camus on anarchism and the individual (by Sartre, 2003) at BATR:
The only conception of freedom I can have is that of the prisoner or the individual in the midst of the State. The only one I know is freedom of thought and action.
Albert Parsons' On Anarchism (1887) at University of Wisconsin:
Anarchy is the social administration of all affairs by the people themselves; that is to say, self-government, individual liberty. Such a condition of society denies the right of majorities to rule over or dictate to minorities. Though every person in the world agree upon a certain plan and only one objects thereto, the objector would, under anarchy, be respected in his natural right to go his own way....
Albert Jay Nock's Our Enemy, the State (1935) at Big Eye:
The State invariably had its origins in conquest and confiscation . . .
Albert Meltzer's Inalienable Tenets of Anarchism in the Spunk library:
That Mankind is Born Free
If Mankind is Born Free, Slavery is Murder
As Slavery is Murder, so Property is Theft
If Property is Theft, Government is Tyranny
If Government is Tyranny, Anarchy is Liberty
Spunk ~ Anarchism, arguments for and against (1986)
Anarchy: from the ancient Greek ~ 'without ruler' Shortly before the northern expansion of the Roman Empire (in the early centuries of the Current Era), warlike times came to Europe. Times of the short iron sword that made people everywhere build hill forts great and small, when who tilled the soil was thought the lowest rank by those who prided themselves on idleness and lived by pillage and plunder, and aristocrats came to brood for a king as they sat drinking Hellene wine. The dynamic of Europe at that time came to be dominated by two radically differing philosophies: from the south had come the concept of concentrated power that sought to establish ever growing empires; to the north what John Stuart Mill termed an "excessive liberty" and a fierce independence resulted in anarchic forms of social organization. It rejected authoritarian government and maintained that voluntary institutions are best suited to express people's natural social tendencies. It is based on faith in natural law and justice, and aims at the utmost possible freedom compatible with social life, believing this to be the most harmonious and ordered in its effects. It is a benevolent doctrine held fast in the belief of the innate goodness of people. Vast areas became enslaved in a rigid hierarchy that ascended to the gods and the emperor could, with the aid of a powerful priesthood, claim to rule by divine right. But in the boreal north, individualistic to the point of chaos, an entire populace stood ready to bring down any who would seek to abrogate the power of the individual, for the people held that none could have power over another. |

| listen to Infrasound by albert | The menace of Infrasound ~ how low can it go ~ |
| Science says sounds are waves ranging from high and spiky to low and slow impacting our hearing organ and moving within the body. There is a universe of unheard sound above and below our range of hearing. These also are waves moving within the body and affecting our organs physical and psychological (if it is agreed that the mind is an organ of our psychology). Very low sounds (infrasounds dipping far below our hearing) roar in nature's clap of thunder, the erupting volcano, the quaking earth. These are frightening and fearful happenings. Sing the lowest note with eyes cast down; The highest turns the eye to heaven. A beautiful symbol and perhaps a message from our body of the danger that lurks in infrasound. Volume is expressed in decibels and we have learned the danger and have recommended dB levels that should not be exceeded. It is time that infrasound is measured and that a safe maximum level (and perhaps the prohibition of certain frequencies) is established. |

The development of the burger came in the northern European walled burg that, with scores of other towns, forged powerful international merchant leagues that transcended the battle-strewn kingdoms of the turbulent centuries of the second millennium of the current era. The burger was a citizen with right of entry through the town gates. Burgers' Rights became civil rights as codified in private and common law. It produced the first principle of law that: 'Town Air is Freedom'. It was the universal formulation of the burgers that meant the town had independent status; outside its walls the peasant labored for feudal nobles, but the burger was free from the rule of despots on thrones. |
