Our Increasing Human Population

"The more people on the planet - the fewer other species can survive."

20 years ago there were 7 billion people in the world. In 2022, there are 8 billion! 

Sadly, the more the human population increases, the more other species which share our planet are decreasing in numbers, many to the point of extinction. This is because other creatures need virgin land to survive. They are hunted for many reasons, our need for land to grow plants and raise domesticated animals reduces their precious habitat, and mining cuts through their areas with large vehicles on fast roads that cause numerous painful casualties. They can suffer from pollution, infections and fires, their lives are a struggle for food and water and shelter. As the human population grows, our seas become polluted with plastics, fish eat the plastic and enter the human food chain, contributing to our ill health.

July - Deborah Blake’s Moon Garden

 The planting of a moon garden. 

There are a number of flowers that bloom at night, some of them are blessed with spectacular scent. If you can find seeds, plant early in the gardening year or find them at your local garden centre.

Moonflower is a white climbing flower with a lemony aroma, also known as Moonvine. Evening Primrose and night blooming Jasmine, white cosmos, and evening stock are examples. Lady of the Night is an evergreen shrub with white flowers that bloom during the day as well, and are highly scented at night. Make sure that no matter which plants you use, you place them where the moonlight will fall on them. You might use your moon garden to inspire communication with the goddess, especially on the night of the full moons. Goddesses are associated with flowers in particular include Flora, her Roman counterpart chlorous, and Thea and the Celtic goddess Blooddenwidd. Of course you could also just speak to one of the moon goddesses such as Diana, Selena or Luna to take advantage of the moon in June or July to stand outside and ask for a blessing of abundance and growth during this time when both are in full force in the natural world around us.
