Himalayas, the land that time forgot?


It's not the first time I've made a review on an article published in media. A UK psychic magazine called Chat it's fate! did an interesting story in the latest issue called "Himalayan Horror". It's not very often this magazine features cryptids as they always focus on the subjects of astrology and ghosts.
They talked about the Abominable Snowman or Yeti monster from the region of the Himalayas. Much of the article started off telling the tale of a Sherpa farm girl who was attacked by a short Yeti near Mount Everest. Five of her yaks were soon found slaughtered, and their necks were broken as if twisted by such force, and their blood had been drained. This was highlighted as being found in a British newspaper that probably exaggerated it to sell copies. I did further research online and found more information about this case. The girl said that the creature attacked her from behind and hit her on the head. Now another time she stated that her hair was pulled. This happened in 1974 when the girl was 19 years old. Crypto Mundo and Crypto Zoo News have covered this girl's story and pointed out holes in the event.
Next in the magazine Chat it's fate! article on the Yeti, mentioned the famous photograph of a large footprint in snow beside a pick axe on the Menlung Glacier. The picture was taken by mountaineer Eric Earle Shipton in 1951. He took a lot of photos of footprints. Nothing in the article mentioned that Shipton as a person liked to make practical jokes. He wrote a couple of books on his journey at Mount Everest but for some reason he didn't mention his experience of the Yeti footprints!
The article concludes that the Yeti is a bear. They mentioned Daniel Taylor the biologist who studied the Yeti subject and concluded it must be a tree bear. It didn't go into detail about the DNA results either. It was quite disappointing that the magazine didn't go further and just stopped with this quote: "brown bears or hairy man-monsters, who knows?" because this DNA of the fur is more mysterious than the Yeti legend itself!
The "Yeti fur" DNA result found a match with a prehistoric polar bear. According to geneticist Bryan Sykes, DNA samples of the Yeti belongs to extinct animals. The appearance and gait of the reported Yeti doesn't match with bears. The mainstream is very happy with the "brown bear" theory, as they've ignored the anomalies. Are there prehistoric bears in the Himalayas? Who knows what it might be. The mystery is still there.

Werewolf mania and pandemic


Just an observation that seems to be missed. For years leading up to the present, were many sightings of curious werewolf type creatures. Some cryptozoologists call these werewolves "Dogmen". They're said to be huge and bipedal, covered in thick fur, with heads of canines and are aggressive. A lot of people around the world have been seeing them.
The world is under threat now from the coronavirus. It might not be any coincidence at all but in the Middle Ages,there were many sightings of actual werewolves before and during the Bubonic Plague. It isn't only werewolves that are seen either. All kinds of monsters like those from legends have been appearing around the world.
While many don't believe in any of this, it's interesting to read about the subject and wonder about it. There is a lot of photographic and video evidence although some choose to dismiss all of that.

The shapeshifters oracle and coronavirus



Yesterday I used the oracle cards called Oracle of the Shapeshifters. I haven't used them for several months. I asked a few questions about the coronavirus or Covid19 as I was shuffling then laying them out. They were all hidden. I picked one for the Past, one for the Present and one for the Future. Then I turned them over.

The Past revealed Poe's Brave Flight "You will not let fear stop you this time". The meaning of the card is all about travelling and being brave and going for that journey. I viewed the card in answer to my question. I interpreted it as this is how the coronavirus was spread all over because of travelling.

The Present card showed Mermaid of Immersion "complete commitment". It was a card about deep thinking and looking for buried treasures. I took that card to mean the illness and how the coronavirus is buried deep in society and infecting people.The symptoms show a bit later and people get very sick. The mermaid in the picture looks unwell and surrounded by cold blooded fish.

The Future card showed an inverted Faery Bee "my life is sweet". The true meaning (right way up) is pleasant, happy and about life. The inverted card shows that nothing is sweet and it's an unhappy card inverted. It's also a death card. A lot of people have already died of the coronavirus. There isn't a cure.

Last of all, I picked a fourth card that sums everything up in that reading. The fourth card was inverted and it was Your Imaginary Friend "childhood treasures resurface". The actual card the right way up is about childhood memories, friendships and fulfilling dreams. However, the card was inverted so it means the opposite. Unknown, undiscovered, and no treasure found. The coronavirus has prevented everyone from doing what they normally would be doing. The dragon is red and there are monarch butterflies with a girl. Perhaps the butterly is a symbol of hope in times of darkness.

The oracle cards have always given me good messages before. This time, it's showing me a warning for the future.

Isle of Skye fairies oppose fish farm


There were plans for a fish farm to be built at a sacred area off the coast of Isle of Skye. It was to be 780 metres long and 460 metres wide with 12 steel cages. Campaigns were made against this from local residents, who were very concerned that the fish farm will damage the beautiful area also rich in magic and folklore legends. One form of protest was the most strange of all. It was a letter sent to the Highland Council, by Friends of the Eileen Fhlodaigearraidh Faeries, in care of the Flodigarry Fairies. It said that the fish farm would be a danger to the Asrai, a type of water fairy, who's been living there for more than a thousand years. Every year the Asrai appear on the surface of the water, and bathe in moonlight. The chemicals as well as the steel cages of the fish farm would cause environmental damage and melt the Asrai. The letter also mentioned that fishermen will be lured to their deaths. Also mentioned was the impact on animals, including seals, if the plan were to go ahead. After several hours, the Highland Council rejected the plan of the fish farm.
