Dear animal lovers...Please help!

As you know, we are planning to move to Slovenia. It is a beautiful country with a lot of nature, and home to some (to the ecosystem) really important large predators; the Wolf and the Brown Bear. Every year, there is a lobby for a 'culling' (A nice politically correct word for 'murdering') a few hundred bears and a dozen or so wolves. This is, because sadly, sometimes a bear needs food and in dire need will go into a village or a farm and kill farm animals. They also (very seldom) attack (human) people (of course, humans have killed and still kill many more bears, completely unprovoked). They are big, they are strong, well, they are bears! They still do less damage than humans do, and most farmers are only interested in the financial loss they make and don't care about the actual individuals killed by a bear. As for the wolves, I actually can't find any news about any 'damage' that the less than 50 (!) wolves in Slovenia are doing, but they get heaped on the pile.

The current 2019 murder will be officially 200 bears and 11 wolves. You may know, that killing wolves leads to packs splitting up, making hunting very difficult because they rely on intricate group hunts, meaning the wolves might go for domesticated animals, because it's that, or starve. So it will just get worse...

A petiton has been started, but it is in Slovenian. You can easily sign it if you don't understand the language (or translate the page):

Petition

But what we would really like to ask is, if someone who is good with this kind of stuff, can start an international petition to the government. If you do that, we will be so grateful!! And the bears and wolves with you. It is a hasty business, because the act is already there, it just needs a final approval. Thank you so much, hvala!

with thanks to Tamara Nightshade for bringing this to our attention.

This is an Austrian motorway toilet... really... no joke.
I just saw it when we stopped for gas.

I'm not sure if it's meant for a pee or a quick (porcelainofile) hand-shandy... but it seriously creeps me out!

I've often had my doubts about Austrians, but this?
...Wow...
sorry to bug you with this, but I just HAD to share this little slice of weird human monkey perversion with you, maybe it's like, really normal and I'm just missing some deeper point here?

Are YOU also a depressed enviromentalist?

Do YOU see NO future for this planet with humans pooping all over it?

Is YOUR planetary conscience riddled with remorse, making you permanently sad?

I have a solution for YOU! :
Have you considered joining the Darkside?

The Darkside is GUILT FREE!
It has NO problem with planetary destruction and it just Positively EMBRACES genocide!

(Plus apparently they also have cookies!)

Tempted? Hmmmm?

For so it is written in the cthonic Book of Chaos: chapter 3 , verse 9:

"You first duty to life is to live free and to enjoy the ride..."

Are YOU enjoying the ride?

Why?

Ps: So... As you can clearly see by the picture, we kinda ended up back in Slovenia instead of Croatia , because we just couldn't stay away (I think we're in love)
Can you see which city we are in?

As you can see we're back in the Blackbeast rolling to yet another weird and wonderfull place.
After spending a peacefully philosophical time filled with enjoying the satisfaction of exercising physical skills with horse, bow, throwing knives, axes and sparring energetically with various home-made larp weaponry with our old (and new) wild hill-tribe warrior friends in Bulgaria ...

We're sorta too busy being free and very happy to blog a lot lately...instead of fingering phones we're roaming the wild hills of Bulgaria on horseback with our friends during the day and playing games and instruments untill night time when we crash-out into our yurt to dream sweet dreamz of nature :-)

But here's a quick note to let you know all's well and groovy in the world of OMNIA and...

We feel very much ALIVE!
How are YOU doing today?

Greenthingz and happy bulgarian horsey sounds!
Stenny and the horseback archery tribe

I found the butterfly that is responsible for making all those storms that are raging around the world!
So I let her drink up some salt from my skin and rest a while on my hand.
Then I kissed her tenderly on those fragile fractal little wings and let her fly free to carry on with her neccessary and usefull work...

I love Chaos :-)

Greenthingz and interesting theories

Today we left the Sylvan embrace of the Slovenian wildwoods to travel to meet our centaur friends, the natural-horseriding, archery and yurt dwelling Bulgarians of the wyld hills ;-)
It's quite a few miles to drive the trusty "black beast" to the green feet of the Balkan mountains, so after passing through Hrvatska (Croatia) today we will set up camp for the night in Serbia.
(Let's hope we find some friendly natives who are willing to put up a couple of vagabond adventure seekers on their land)

I drew this today and wanted to share it with you... hope you like it :-)
so, do YOU have any home made Art to show us?

In the wild we experience a deepness of spiritual satisfaction that no amount of human-made-entertainment could ever provide.

Live Wild, live Natural, be Free!

As the clouds release a deluge of unseasonal rain water from the impressively clouded Slovenian sky, we have taken shelter in a really cute, cosy little wooden hut, where we fill our time with the solace and joy that playing new musick brings.
Jenny's eloquent fingers dance lightly over her beautifull African Kora (which she got from the amazing Gambian artist Sona Jobarteh...check her out)
While I'm putting my rusty, stiff old fingers through some much needed practice on my dear little Celtic Harp...

I wonder if this picture will get as many likes as yesterdays blog :-)

Hokaheyaheyahey!

We feel the need to hasten our personal and spiritual "Epic Quest for a new OMNIA-home" a bit...

It's taking too long to find
"that perfect place", we're getting restless.Human insanity is growing ,we need to act soon.

So, In a quite brutal effort to lay the fire beneath our own heels, we have SOLD our Stennystudio in Holland... yup... it's true, the little Pagan Stenny house in the shrinking dutch forest soon has a new owner and will be just another part of OMNIA's long and varied history (like the Pagan Attic!)
