The oak tree journey

-

 This time 4 years ago me and wee betty was driving all over England checking on loads of ancient famous trees for acorns. 


We managed to get some from the Robin Hood oak, the Big belly oak and the Bowthorpe oak. 

The secret location oak which is in someone's garden believe it or not was not producing acorns that year. 


Although a couple of years after that I did manage to get some acorns from this massive mystical looking oak tree. One of the most empowering trees I've ever seen. 

I managed to climb inside this beauty and was able to hold my hands out side ways and still was not touching the tree it was all hollowed out that much, this is the natural cycle of the oak tree. 


The Crowhurst yew which I just wanted to see anyway on my travels, this tree is said to be around 4000 year old and is one of the oldest trees in Europe. 


The acorns I got from The Robin Hood oak, Bowthorpe Oak and the Big Belly oak have all now been grown up and planted at The Phantom Planters Oak Spiral along with 31 more of the most famous oak trees babies in the UK and Ireland. 


This has been some journey I've been on and what we are creating will be seen as Tutankhamun type of stuff hundreds of years from now straight out of Belfast!


I challenge you all to phantom plant somes trees. 


Do your bit for nature and community. Interconnected and interdependent. 


Peace and love 


The Phantom Planter and Wee Betty

My dad was a delboy ( a buyer and seller of everything and anything) and from I could walk he had me a mini Delboy, from selling round the doors to off loading lorry loads of bootlegged cigs and booze straight in from Andorra, he had me street trading and playing part in his delboy tricks to help him sell his dodgy goods! 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...
