the Robin Hood Oak

-

 This day 4 years ago me and wee betty was at the Major oak aka Robin Hood oak in Sherwood Forest getting acorns from this magnificent tree that is now dead. 

We were so lucky to get so many that year and we probably got the last acorns this oak tree will ever produce. 


All of these acorns have now been grown up and planted around our Lisnabreeny Community Orchard. 


I've been lucky enough to get acorns from a good few ancient trees that may not have much longer to live. The Magog Oak of Glastonbury and The Belvoir Oak of Belfast.  Both these trees have been slowly dying for many years now. 


This makes The Phantom Planters Oak Spiral all the more special having these rare ancient oak genetics. 


Its the time of year we should all be out gathering natures seeds and growing them up to phantom plant. 


You want to do something good for nature and society? 

Phantom planting trees is one of the positive actions we can do. 


I challenge you to phantom plant a tree 


Peace and love 


The Phantom Planter and Wee Betty

I learned fast how to make money and school for me was my business, I had more money than the teachers, my dad would have stocked my bag up at lunchtimes for me with more of his dodgy goods, perfume, tobacco, clothing, all sorts I had in my bag, even sold some of my goods to the teachers! When I left school I was financially embarrassed for a small time, 1000 pupils to me was 1000 people with ...

 *****THIS IS A MEN ONLY POST***** Good morning men, I want to talk with you about semen retention and how I believe that over ejaculation is probably in my opinion one of the biggest causes of mens mental health problems today. For years now I have been experimenting with celibacy, reading in depth about the benefits of brahmacharya which is the vow of celibacy that monks take and the benefits its believed to do to our bodies and consciousness. Carl Jung who was one of the greatest psychotherapist ever did lots of research into the effects that over ejaculation has on men, saying that right after a man releases his semen he goes straight into period like symptoms similar to woman. He reported that when a man releases we are completely messing up our hormonal balance and then we feel weak emotionally and physically. I totally agree with what Carl Jung says about being emotionally weak with too much ejaculation. I've observed these patterns in myself over the years, when going throu...
