Matthew 27:33. When they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull.

See also Mark 15:22; Luke 23:33; John 19:17.

This is supposed to have been the spot where capital executions for Jerusalem usually took place. It was customary to have certain places set apart for such purposes by the different cities. Rosenmüller (Morgenland, vol. 5, p. 117) gives several illustrations of this. The Mamertins had such a one on the Pompeian Way, behind their city. The Romans also had a particular place for the crucifixion of slaves. Descriptive names were given to these places. The Romans called their place of execution Sestertium, because it was two and a half miles from the city. The Thessalians called theirs Korax, the Raven; which is similar to the German Rabenstein, (raven-stone,) a name given to a place of execution, because the ravens resort there when a criminal is executed and exposed. “To the ravens!” was a very significant ancient curse. The name of the place when Jesus was executed was Golgotha, a corrupt form of the Chaldee name for a skull. This would be a significant title for a place of execution, and many suppose that this is the reason of the name. Others, however, think the name may have been given to the place because of its rounding, skull-like form; and some authorities assert that the Romans had no particular places for crucifixion near Jerusalem, but executed this mode of punishment anywhere outside the walls. Even if this were so, there may have been reasons why one place should be more frequently used than others, and this might properly be known as the “place of a skull.”

RABENSTEIN
270th Anniversary
Immigrants to this great land.
1754-2024

Three brothers arrived from Germany in 1754, two years before the USA was formed. We celebrate 250 years in this land. Prior to a GOV. I am the 7th, Great, Great, Grandson to be born in now as established embarrassment. I have no children, no wife, no GF. My branch dies with me. My roots are what I will leave behind and the cannabis seeds I create from: Blood, Bone and Pot Ash, Worm castings, Bat Guano and other amendments are great.

Some may think, cannabis, evil, the devil, only but one letter difference, so perspective needs to be in the right place to make all things work in the universe. The birth of fo-SHO.farm was a development since the early 2000’s when I was able to grow my first plant.

The GOV wants you to think the following…

they are far from the truth of what secrets are inside.

fo-SHO.farm and beyond

Cannabis Sativa is divided into more categories, such as hemp and the illicit weed or marijuana plant. I was able to reach inside not only the secrets of the plant but also the forgotten realms where witches, daemons, and vampires collide. Cannabis, like the arcane symbols of old, holds secrets within its diploid structure, where two stems or nodes emerge in symmetry. As it grows, new nodes form in a perpendicular spiral, like the turning of an ancient sigil. With triploid or tetraploid forms, the plant steps beyond its natural bounds, embodying the alchemy of witches and the boundless thirst of vampires.

The Witch’s Alchemy: Transformations of the Earth

Witches have long known the power of transformation, not just of the self, but of the land. Modern wheat, a product of diploid-to-tetraploid evolution, is one such spell cast by time and human hands. Bananas, stripped of their seeds as tetraploids, are another creation born of nature’s quiet magic. Yet, not all transformations are pure. Vampires, lurking in shadow, have hijacked these processes, turning nature’s bounty into tools of greed. Polyploidy, once the domain of the witches, now serves as the vampire’s engine, stripping lands bare for fleeting profit.

Vampires and Carbon: A Pact for Life

The vampires of this realm are not bound by daylight or silver—they walk among us as corporations, institutions, and systems that drain the lifeblood of the earth. Their hunger for carbon, their insatiable desire for control, turns the cycle of life into an extraction of death. But witches and daemons have long known how to bind and redirect such forces. Instead of feeding the vampires, I have turned my energy toward capturing carbon, a spell to undo their harm.

My gates are closed, my lands fortified against their intrusion. Here, lions roam freely, bobcats play in the shadows, and the earth whispers its secrets. This is a sanctuary where witches work their craft, daemons guard the thresholds, and vampires find no purchase.

The Bible and Coins: Tools of Vampiric Control

The Bible, the most commercialized object ever made, is a tool of vampire control, wielded to bind the minds of the masses. Coins, cold and metallic, are their secondary weapon, traded endlessly to enforce systems of power. But life is not metal; it is carbon, the essence of all living things. Witches, in their wisdom, knew this truth and preserved it against the vampiric systems that sought to erase it. The fight between carbon and metal, life and lifelessness, is the essence of the eternal struggle.

Daemons of the Earth: Guardians of the Gate

While witches weave spells to heal, daemons stand as guardians of the earth. These ancient beings, often misunderstood, are neither good nor evil but serve to maintain the balance. In this land, daemons protect the soil, the plants, and the sacred cycle of decomposition. Blood and bone feed the earth—not as sacrifices to vampires, but as offerings to the daemons who ensure life returns from death. From ashes, new growth emerges, a testament to the balance between destruction and creation.

Witches vs. Vampires: Eternal Conflict

The realm I inhabit is a battlefield in the war between witches and vampires. Witches, bearers of light and wisdom, work to restore life and nurture the land. Vampires, ever-hungry, seek to drain that life for their gain. The struggle is eternal, fought not with swords or spells alone, but with choices—what we grow, what we consume, what we protect.

A Realm in Balance: The Interplay of Forces

In this sacred place, I live as a steward of balance, where witches, vampires, and daemons all play their part. Witches cast spells of renewal, daemons enforce the sacred laws of nature, and vampires, though ever-present, are kept at bay by the boundaries we set. Here, the soil is alive, the plants thrive, and the cycle of life and death remains unbroken.

To grow is to rebel against the vampire’s hunger. To nurture is to honor the daemon’s pact. To restore is to align with the witch’s craft. This realm is more than a garden; it is a testament to the power of balance, a place where life flourishes despite the shadows that threaten it. The vampires will always hunger, but here, their thirst finds no solace.

The message of how, what, when, where, why, who can be hidden to disguise the truth of how living things exist.
With my tetraploid discoveries, I realized a lot. Now with this discovery I have found I have not only more energy, but more knowledge. Wizardry comes from Alchemy.

Time for some humor to break the monotony.

Captain Underpants, because its so hot in the summer.
