The True Meaning of Solstice

Hello Cousins, In this edition of Planet Waves FM, I consider the true meaning of solstice and its getting lost amidst all the glitz of the modern holidays. Before that, I describe the beginning of the 14th baktun of the Mayan calendar, and the Full Moon in the sign Cancer that happens early Friday. Then I’m joined by two guests — my niece Josie Coppolino as well as my friend Beth Bagner, for the discussion about the holidays, family dynamics, and who wants to be at home and who wants to be around others. This is a fun, longish program designed for those who happen to be at home in front of their computer, well, right around now. Note, the Moon is slow these days — not moving as fast as I thought. Here is your program in the Old Player. Note, you can download a compressed file of the program on the Old Player page, which also includes a full archive of Planet Waves FM going back to 2010. More recent programs are collected in the category listing at the top of the blog frame.

In This Last Week of the Mayan Cycle

The Mayan time pyramid that I don’t quite describe right. In this week’s edition of Planet Waves FM, I look at the issue surrounding the massacre at the Sandy Hook School. First, I cover the Sun’s conjunction to the Galactic Core, as well as the details about the Mayan calendar that raise the question of whether we’re at the end of the piktun or not. In other words, how important is Friday’s turnover, to date 13.0.0.0.0? And does Saturday begin a new cycle entirely (13.0.0.0.1, or do we totally reset and start over at 0.0.0.0.1?) This is about the Mayan long count that ‘ends’ on Friday morning. The diagram above is a similar concept; it involves time pulses, which begin with a 16 billion year pulse and end in a short one. By either account we are off the map, or soon to be. I try to read some figures from the above diagram during the program but I keep messing up, so I’ve included the thing so you can see it for yourself. Then, I comment on the chart of Friday’s shooting and account for why the thing looks like it supports every conspiracy theory in existence. The chart is included in this article on Planet Waves called Connecting Cause and Effect. Here is that article by Shelley Ackerman on the discovery of the Galactic Center. Here is a panel of photos of many kinds of galaxies, with ours on the bottom right; this is the 2007 annual edition called The Spiral Door (anyone can dive in and read). My musical guest is Renee Blue O’Connell, with one selection from the Grateful Dead. Here is your program in the Old Player.
