Really appreciate your insights, Dr. Brooks. This was very interesting and I shared it with my colleagues at work. Below is an article about the public health dangers associated with the eclipse, for a variety of reasons. It does seem that respect that ancient traditions had for the eclipse may have been rooted in some scientific basis.
Thanks for writing about the eclipse! It's really important in my biodynamic agriculture practice to link spirit and ritual and festival to the natural cycles in the year, and remember to think about time as a cycle and spiral - and reconnect in healthy new ways to the natural world which we have been liberated from in our modern world. The honeybees here on the farm where I live and in my gardens all went back into their hives and holes today the hour before the eclipse. I host about 20 carpenter bees in the porch where I work and everyone was in a frenzy for a moment to meet a lady friend to hole up with. Intense! Dangerous but auspicious coupling happened.
Mahalo. I really appreciate this share.
