Baal Stone and Other Carvings

I have been lucky enough, though dreams, to have found this Baal stone in my local area. My friend, Terry Doucette, helped me document this along with a few other finds I made in my area. The stone sits in a hilly area. It is complete with a craved rune and arrow pointing to two other natural ball stone towers with-in a mile of this one. The triangle shaped on front of stone have an eye carved inside. The other carvings are on the corner are a rune, possible Horus, representing a healer or 'god' person or local herbs available to travelling acients. I would love to have some in-put. Blessings and thanks for looking ♥

Ayin?

Butter and Eggs Herb

I noticed this plant growing against the building at the Ferry Terminal where I'm still doing security work. Its a useful local herb used in salved for skin conditions and a weak tea is good for a laxative and diuretic . WARNING-Remember, when using herbs, only a small pinch if not used before!

                                                                 (Latin- Linaria vulgaris)

Linaria vulgaris (Common Toadflax,[Yellow Toadflax, or Butter-and-eggs) is a species of toadflax (Linaria), native to most of Europe and northern Asia, from the United Kingdom south to Spain in the west, and east to eastern Siberia and western China. It has also been introduced and is now common in North America.

Growth-

It is a perennial plant with short spreading roots, erect to decumbent stems 15–90 cm high, with fine, threadlike, glaucous blue-green leaves 2–6 cm long and 1–5 mm broad. The flowers are similar to those of the snapdragon, 25–33 mm long, pale yellow except for the lower tip which is orange, borne in dense terminal racemes from mid summer to mid autumn. The fruit is a globose capsule 5–11 mm long and 5–7 mm broad, containing numerous small seeds.

Ecology-

Linaria vulgaris in a meadow

The plant is widespread on ruderal spots, along roads, in dunes, and on disturbed and cultivated land.

Because the flower is largely closed by its underlip, pollination requires strong insects such as bees and bumblebees (Bombus species)

A Question from Jeanne

~ Do you know what the white stone meant in Revelations?

My answer for you Jeanne-

A white stone was used to gain admission to certain events in Roman times.( Rev 2:17) That would imply that those who overcome will be granted admission to the Kingdom.I was also thinking about the manna. As we know, that was given in the Exodus while they wandered. Some of the manna was placed in a pot and stored in the ark of the covenant. The ark disappeared from earth, but is mentioned in Rev 11:9 as being seen within God's temple. As your question refers to an earlier part of Revelation, John could have had that manna from the hidden ark in mind.

Hope that helps, but Revelation's symbols make it quite easy to interpret if you study them. Ironic that it's name means "to show that which is hidden."

Rock Finds

I've been thinking the last few days about my finds over the last few years. Sense the last real hike in 2013, I haven't even been back to check the meadow at Main Shore Road because of work, visits from friends and now the moving preparations to another house... I wonder if the snow will hold off so I can get back to see the small cave-like opening there in the rocks and maybe have a little dig around before the ground freezes..."SIGH"... seems like such work to get out the rubbers and walk the kilometer to the site... got to get activated!
I decided to post for you my Rock Carving video I made . For encouragement...again...

UP-DATE- Artifacts are a Fact

I've had a email response from Rob Ferguson, the current Research Associate at Nova Scotia Museum Past Senior Archaeologist about my find.

Hi  Beverly,

I showed the pictures to Deborah Skilleter, the geologist at the NS Museum. She described this as a concretion nodule. The hollowed portion would have been natural siderite, which is a readily oxidized material, hence the red staining. It has eroded from the cobble, leaving the grey rock, which is a slightly metamorphic sandstone that has accreted around the siderite. So despite the intriguing shape it is a natural formation.

Cheers,
Rob

Artifacts are a Fact

I've been going thru my rock finds lately as I'm in the process of moving residences, when I came up-on this forgotten find...
Back in the summer of 2010, I was exploring along the shores of Overton ,Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia, when I came across this small artifact. Not 'for sure' what it is but it seems to be some kind of mortar type tool for resin grinding or maybe even a small smoke pipe for a puff of sweet grass/tobacco? What do you think?
