HUMAN LIFE IN THE AMERICAS SHOW HUGH VARIETY, WITH SHAMANIC PRACTICES IN VARIOUS PLACES, THESE MAY HAVE AN ULTIMATE HISTORICAL ROOT IN HATTI, THE HOMELAND OF AMERICAN HAITIAN POPULATIONS. WHERE ALL SPIRITS, AND ENTITIES OF SOULS LIVED HARMONIOUSLY WITH LIVING PEOPLE. IN MANY AREAS VOODOO BELIEFS INFLUENCES AND SHAPED LIFE HERE ON EARTH, LEADING TO CLOSE OBSERVATION AND OBSERVANCE. IN THE STATE. SOCIETIES OF CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA ASPECTS OF ORGANIZED RELIGION EVOLVED, WITH SOME NAMED DEITIES, BUT ALSO WITH MUCH ROOM FOR HUMAN PARTICIPATION.
MAGIC AS A DOMINANT FORCE IN HATTI ALSO INCLUDING THE MIDDLE EAST AND EGYPT BEFORE THE BRONZE AGE, PREHISTORIC EUROPE AND STEPPE, ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIA, NORTH AMERICA, AND MUCH OF SOUTH AMERICA. IN THESE AREAS MAGICAL PRACTICES FORMED BASIS IN WHICH ALL OTHER HUMAN CUSTOMS EXISTED. IN SOME AREAS, SUCH ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIA AND REGIONS OF THE AMERICAS THIS REMAINED THE SITUATION UNTIL EUROPEAN COLONIALISM.. THERE WAS LITTLE ORGANIZED RELIGION THAT WE CAN RECOGNIZE AND HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDINGS OF MATERIAL PROPERTIES AND FORCES HAS BEEN FORMALIZED INTO ANYTHING APPROACHING SCIENCE.
Voodoo’s New Orleans Roots
HOODOO AFRICAN AMERICAN RELIGION, DERIVED FROM THE AFRICAN HATTIAN RILIGION VUUDUU NOT THE SAME JUST A MIMIC OF OUR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS PASSED OVER FROM THE FRENCH QUARTER, LA A BLOODLINE THAT WAS BREAD TO PRUDUCE LIGITMATE HEIRS FOR FRENC NOBLEMEN, WHO'S CHRILDREN WERE OF NOBLE BLOOD AND FREED WOMEN OF COLOR, (the lighter the color the better) SO THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO STAKE CLAIM AS OWNER OF LAND AND SLAVE IN AMERICA, LOUISANNA WAS BROUGHT AND PAID FOR FOR THE SLAVES OF, AND WAS TAKEN BACK WITH THIS PRACTICE, AND BY DOING SO TOOK THE SECRET KNOWLEDGE THAT WE HELD PRETAING TO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN The hybrid was evident in Marie Laveau, a devout Catholic who attended Mass at St. Louis Cathedral and was a close friend of the cathedral’s priest, Pere Antoine.
Voodoo came to New Orleans in the early 1700s, through slaves brought from Africa’s western “slave coast.” Like so many things New Orleans, Voodoo was then infused with the city’s dominant religion, Catholicism, and became a Voodoo-Catholicism hybrid sometimes referred to as New Orleans Voodoo. In New Orleans, for instance, Legba, the Voodoo deity who controls the gates to the spirit world, becomes St. Peter, who holds the keys to the gates of heaven.
THE IDEA OF MIRACLES HAS COMPLICATED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MAGIC AND RELIGION FOR THE LAST 3000 YEARS OR MOREL.WITHIN JEWISH AND ARABIC TRADITIONS, RELIGIOUS FIGURES FROM MOSES TO JESUS AND MUHAMMED WORKED MIRACES, WHICH BECAME A BASIS FOR THEIR POWER, FEEDING THEN INTO CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM. MEANINGS OF THE WORD MIRACLE RANGE VETWEEN THE WONDROUS AND THE UNBELIEVABLE, CONTAINING ALWAYS THE NOTION THA A MIRACLE GOES BEYOND THE NORMAL WORKINGS OF THE WORLD, DERIVING FROM THE INFLUENCE OF SOME DIVINE OR MAGICAL POWER, MOSES THE PROPHETS ELIJAH AND ELISHA, AS WEL AS JESUS AND MUHAMMED ALL PERFORMED MIRACLES OF SIMILAR TYPES, THEY EXORCISED DEMONS, HEALED THE SICK AND RAISED THE DEAD CONFOUNDED THEIR ENEMIES IN VARIOUS WAYS AND CAUSED DRAMATIC CHANGES IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD, SUCH AS PARTING THE RED SEA OR WALKING ON WATERS.
MAYBE SOME ELEMENTS OF THE OLDER BELIEF SYSTEMS CLUNG TO MIRACULOUS ACTS GIVING THEM ANCIENT POWER IN THIS NEW WORLD MUCH LATER WHEN PROTESTANTISM CONFRONTED CATHOLIC CHRISTINANITY ITS MAJOR CRITICISM WAS THAT THE OLDER CHURCH WAS MAGICAL . BELIEFS THAT SUBSTANCES COULD BE TRANSFORMED OR GIVEN THE POWER TO PROTECT PEOPLE WERE THOUGHT ILLEGITIMATE, PERHAPS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENERGIES OF DEMONS AS MUCH AS WITH GOD. EARLY MODERN NEGATIVE EVALUATIONS OF MAGIC AND MIRACLES HAVE MADE IT HARDER TO WRITE HISTORIES OF EARLIER PERIODS IN WAYS THAT SHOW MAGIC WAS OFTEN A POSITIVE QUALITY AND CERTAINLY A CONSTANT PRESENCE IN JEWISH, GREEK, AND ROMAN LIFE
MAGIC WAS ACCEPTED WITHOUT EXCEPTION BY ALL STRATA OF SOCIETY, BUT ITS PRACTICE REQUIRED CONSISERAVLE SPECIALIST MAGICAL KNOWLEDGE AMATER DABBLING WITH SUCH POWERS WAS GENERALLY DIASTROUS. IN THE OFFICIAL RHETORIC OF THESE TIMES MAGIC IS A POWERFUL BUT AMBIGUOUS QUALITY SOMETIMES PRACTISED BY SPECIALISTS OR CHARISMATIC INDIVIDUALS AND ALSO BY PRIESTS AND RABBIS DRAWING ON RELIGIOIUS LORE. MAGIC IS INTIMATELY BOUND UP WITH RELIGION FOR GREEKS AND ROMANS, SOMEWHAT MORE REMOVED FOR JEWS IT IS BY TURNS VALUED CONTESTED DEBATED AND DEEMED DANGEROUS, IT IS A VARIABLE QUALITY BUT STILL CENTRAL TO SOCIAL AND CULTURAL FORCES AS WELL AS BEING A GOOD DIAGNOSTIC OF THEM.

DURING THE TIME THAT GOD PERFORMED HIS MIRACLE THOUGH MOSES UP UNTIL THE
DAYS OF THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS, I HAVE OFTER WONDERED WHAT WAS THE CAUSE OF
ONE BEING THE ACT OF GOD AND THE OTHER THE ACT OF WITCHCRAFT. IF GOD WHERE IN
YOUR PRESENT AT THIS VERY MOMENT AND HE CHANGE WATER INTO WINE OR RAISE
SOMEONE FROM THE DEAD, WOULD YOU SAY MAGIC OR MIRACLE , I WOULD HAVE TO SAVE
THAT THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME. ITS ONLY THAT ONE HAS THE APPROVAL THE
RELIGOUS COMMUNITY AND THE OTHER IS SHUND AS BEING DEMONIC,
IN THE LATE FIFTEENTH CENTURIES THREE EVENTS IN EUROPEAN HISTORY CAN BE
EXPLORED THROUGH STORIES OF GRIMOIRES DUE TO THE DEVELOPEMENT OF PRINTED
WORKS. THE PROTESTANT AND THE CATHOLOIC REFORMATIONS AND THE WITCH TRAILS, FOR
SOME OF THESE SATAN IS THE CAUSE OF THESE EVENTS , BEING DECRIBED AS THE BLACK ARTS.
THE SUCCESS OF CONTRADITORY THOUGHT ON THIS SUBJECT WAS LARGELY DUE TO THE
POWER OF THE PRINTED "WORD", AND WITH MARTIN LUTHER BEING ONE OF THE PUBLISHED WORKS IN THIS DURING THIS TIME.
IT WAS DEMONOLOGICAL BOOKS THE SPREAD THE IDEAS AND FEARS OF THIS DIABLIC
WITCHCRAFT AND DEVIL WORHSIPPING CONSPIRACY, AND LIKE I HAVE STATED BEFORE IN
AN EARLY BLOG OF MY THE FIRST BOOK {BIBLE} THE WAS WRITTEN BY KING JAMES WAS
THE BOOK OF DEMONOLOGY THE TRANSCIPTS OF MOSES BEING PUT ON TRIAL FOR THE
MIRECALS HE PERFORMED.
LAWS AGAINST WITCHCRAFT ACROSS THE WORLD DURING THIS TIMEWAS NOT JUST
CONCERNED WITH HARMFUL WITCHES , ALL MAGIC WHETHR GOOD OR BAD WAS SAID TO BE A
TOOL OF THE DEVIL.PROTESTANT AND CATHOLIC ASSERTED THAT GOOD WITCHES OR CUNNING-FOLK IN OTHER WORDS THOSE WHO PRACTISED MAGIC TO HELP PEOPLE BY REMOVING
SPELLS, IS THIS STILL THE ACT OF MAGIC , OR MYBE TO THEM SO CALL MIRACLE,
THESE WERE CONCERED TO BE WHITE WITCHES
NOW ON THE SUBJECT OF NATURAL MAGIC AND ITS PRACTITIONERS WERE CAUGHT UP IN
AUTHORITARIAN VIEW THAT ALL MAGIC WITCHCRAFT, NATURAL MAGIC, CELESTIAL MAGIC OR SPIRIT CONJURATION WAS DEMONIC IN ORIGIN ALSO IN INTENT.
IT IS THESE MISREPRESENTED REPUTATIONS OF MAGIC THAT HAS LEAD MY RELIGON
HATTIAN VUUDUU UNDER SUCH SCRUTINY AND RIDICULE AND MANY OF THIS FAITH
HESITATE TO PATRICE THERE ROOTED BELEIFS
The three Rs (as in the letter R)[1] are three basic skills taught in schools: reading, writing and arithmetic (usually said as "reading, writing, and 'rithmetic"). The phrase appears to have been coined at the beginning of the 19th century.
The term has also been used to name other triples (see Other uses).
Some of the greatest mathematical minds of all ages, from Pythagoras and Euclid in ancient Greece, through the medieval Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa and the Renaissance astronomer Johannes Kepler, to present-day scientific figures such as Oxford physicist Roger Penrose, have spent endless hours over this simple ratio and its properties. ... Biologists, artists, musicians, historians, architects, psychologists, and even mystics have pondered and debated the basis of its ubiquity and appeal. In fact, it is probably fair to say that the Golden Ratio has inspired thinkers of all disciplines like no other number in the history of mathematics.[14]
The skills themselves are alluded to in St. Augustine's Confessions: Latin: ...legere et scribere et numerare discitur 'learning to read, and write, and do arithmetic'.[2]
The phrase is sometimes attributed to a speech given by Sir William Curtis circa 1807: this is disputed.[3][4][5] An extended modern version of the three Rs consists of the "functional skills of literacy, numeracy and ICT".[6]

The Archimedean spiral (also known as the arithmetic spiral) is a spiral named after the 3rd-century BC GreekmathematicianArchimedes. It is the locus corresponding to the locations over time of a point moving away from a fixed point with a constant speed along a line that rotates with constant angular velocity. Equivalently, in polar coordinates(r, θ) it can be described by the equation
with real numbersa and b. Changing the parameter a moves the centerpoint of the spiral outward from the origin (positive a toward θ = 0 and negative a toward θ = π) essentially through a rotation of the spiral, while b controls the distance between loops.
From the above equation, it can thus be stated: position of particle from point of start is proportional to angle θ as time elapses.
Archimedes described such a spiral in his book On Spirals. Conon of Samos was a friend of his and Pappus states that this spiral was discovered by Conon

BEING RAISED IN THE SOUTH AND BEING OF THE AFRICAN RACE OUR ANCESTORS HELD
THE KING JAMES BIBLE AS BEING WRITTEN AND HANDED TO US BY GOD HIMSELF, THEY
NEVER QUESTIONED ANY WORD THAT WAS TOLD OR READ TO THEM AS LONG AS IT WAS
FROM THAT HOLY BOOK. AND WITH THAT BEING SO, THE HISTORY OF THE BLACK BAPTIST {PROTESTANTS} AS THE RELIGION started OUT TO BE, AS OUR OWN KNOWLEDGE WAS
PASSED DOWN GENERATION AFTER GENERATION, TO BE THE CONNECTION, OR THE
PATHWAY BACK TO OUR SALVATION. OUR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WAS TOLD TO US AS
BEING THE HOLY WORD OF "GOD", WHO'S GOD I HAVE YET TO GET FIGURE OUT, BUT A
GOD WAS NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY BY THOSE WHO PERHAPS HAD SOME NEED TO KNOW
MORE ABOUT WHO IT WAS WE WERE TOLD TO WORSHIP, AFTER BEING TAKEN FROM THE
LAND WE KNEW TO BE HOME AND MADE TO SERVE A GOD THAT WASN'T OUR OWN.https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/bonnie-allison
THERE IS SO MUCH I HAVE COME TO KNOW ABOUT THE RELIGION.THE UNDERSTANDING
OF DIFFERENT CULTURES, AND I DO KNOW AND BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A HIGHER
BEING THAT PROTECTS, PROVIDE, AND YES PUNISH'S ALL OF US HERE ON THIS EARTH,
THOUGH EVERY CULTURE HAS THEIR OWN RULES, GUIDELINES, UNDERSTANDINGS, ABOUT
THE EXISTENCE OF GOD. AND THAT BEING SAID LET ME START BY LETTING MY READERS
KNOW WHAT I HAVE COME ACROSS WHILE HAVING IDLE TIME ON MY HANDS, WHICH
REALLY TURNED OUT TO BE A BLESSING, BECAUSE MOST OF US NEITHER HAVE THE TIME
OR PATIENCE TO RESEARCH EVERY BIT OF INFORMATION THAT'S OUT THERE FOR US ALL
THESE DAYS.

BODY. TWELVE COMMANDMENTS WERE GIVING UNTO MOSES FOR HIS SEED, THE
KING JAMES VER OF THE WRITTEN WORD, ONLY RECORDED TEN [ie; RECORDED THE TIME I STARTED THIS BLOG AS 1:53 A.M.] THE
SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS FOR ME IS THE NUMBER 613 ,10, AND 153, SEE IF
YOU CAN FIND THE CONNECTIONS FOR THESE THREE NUMBERS THERE' ONE NUMBER

IF YOU AND THE NUMBERS 6+1+3=10 SO IF YOU ADD THE FIRST 10 OF THE
NATURAL NUMBER THE SUM IS 55 AN 5+5 =10 YOU CAN ALSO TO A METHOD THAT
GIVES YOU THE SUM OF 1/12
ANY WAY YOU ADD THE FIRST TEN NATURAL NUMBERS THE SUM RATHER 6+1+3=10 or
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10=55 (5+5=10). Fn FORM A SEQUENCE IT CALLED THE FIBONACCI SEQUENCE, IN WHICH EACH NUMBER
IS THE SUM OF THE TWO PROCEEDING ONES THE SEQUENCE COMMONLY TARTS FROM 0

SEQUENCE FROM 1 AND 1 FROM I AND 2 STARTING FROM 0 AND 1 THE NEXT FEW

Approximate and true golden spirals: the green spiral is made from quarter-circles tangent to the interior of each
square, while the red spiral is a golden spiral, a special type of logarithmic spiral. Overlapping portions appear yellow. The length of the side of a larger square to the next smaller square is
in the golden ratio. For a square with side length 1, the next smaller square is 1/φ wide. The next width is 1/φ², then 1/φ³, and so oN

WHEN WE SAY THAT ALCHEMY HAD A LONG HISTORY, GOING BACK TO THE ANCIENT MIDDLE EASTER CIVILIZATIONS, WE MEAN IT HAD A LONG WRITTEN HISTORY, ALCHEMY LMOST CERTAINLY HAD A MUCH LONGER PREHISTORY, BACK TO THE START OF WORK WITH METAL AND PROBABLY BEYOND: ONLY IN THE LKAST FEW MILLENNIA HAS ALCHEMICAL THOUGHT BEEN WRITTEN DOWN, IT MAY VE THAT THE WORD ALDCHEMY DERIVES FROM ARABIC WHICH IS APPROPRIATE AS THE ARAV WORLD WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS IN ALCHEMY, SOME OF WHICH DERIVED FROM GREEK PRECEDENTS THAT WERE TRANSMITTED TO EUROPE THROUGH THE TRANSLATION OF ARABRIC MANUSCRIPTS FROM THE THIRTEENTH CENTURY CE ONWARDS. ALCHEMY WAS COMOUNDED OF A SERIES OF CROSS-CULTURAL LINKS BETWEEN MESOPOTAMIA AND EGYPT, BUT ALSO BEWEEN INDIA AND CHINA, ALTHOUGH LINKS VEWEEN EAST AND WEST ARE STILL TO BE FULLY EXPLORED.
DURING THE RENAISSANCE THE FULL HERMETIC AND NEOPLATONIC BASIS OF ALCHEMY WAS UNDERSTOOD THROUGH THEORIES OF CORRESPONDENCEL HERE ALCHEMY APPROACHED MEDICINE, THOUGH THE PRACTICE OF SO CALLED IATROCHEMISTRY(IATROS IS GREEK FOR 'DOCTOR')
Page from alchemic treatise of Ramon Llull, 16th century
The red sun rising over the city, the final illustration of 16th-century alchemical text, Splendor Solis. The word rubedo, meaning "redness", was adopted by alchemists and signalled alchemical success, and the end of the great work.
A CENTRAL INFLUENCE WAS PARACELUS (1493-1541), WHO COMBINED ASTROLOGICAL CALCULATIONS AS A MEANS OF DIAGNOSIS WITH A VARIETY OF MODES O CURE, MANY BASED ON CHEMICAL KNOWLEDGE SOURCED FROM MEDIEVAL ALCHEMY. PARACELUSUS REFORMULATED THE MEDIEVAL THEORY OF HUMOURS TO ARGUE THAT THE CRUCIAL BALANCE IN THE HUMAN BODY WAS VETEEN THE HUMOURS OF SALT WHICH PROMOTED STAVILITY, SULPHUR (COMBUSTIBILITY) AND MERCURY (LIQUIDITY), AND SAID THAT ILLNESWS AROSE WHEN ON HUMOUR VECAME SEPARATED FROM THE OTHER THREE, WHERE PARACELSUS STARTED TO DIVERGE FROM ALCHEMICAL AND ASTROLOGICAL APPROACHES TO MEDICINE WAS IN HIS GROWING BELIEF THAT SOME TYPED OF ILLNESS WERE A RESULT OF ATTACKS FROM AGENTS OUTSIDE THE BODY. IN THIS THE PREFIGURED GERM THEORYL. PARACELSUS WAS INTERESTED IN SYPHILIS, RELATIVELY NEWLY INTRODUCED FROM THE AMERICAS AND DEVELOPED LAUDANUM FROM AN OPIUM BASE TO HELP WITH PAIN; HAVING FOLLOWED CORRESPONNDENCE THEORY ENERGETICALLY, HE IS NOW FAMOS FOR THE WEAPON SALVEL. IF SOMEONE WAS STABBLED BY A DAGGER PARACELSUS WOULD TREAT THE WOUND WITH CHEMNICAL COMPOUND, BUT THEN ALSO APPLY THE SAME SALVE TO THE DAGGER THAT WAS RESOONSIVLE IN THE HOPE THAT THE SALVING THE DAGGER WOULD ASDO SPEED UP THE HEALING OF THE WOUND.PARACELSUS WAS CLEARY NOT A STUPID MAN AND ALTHOUGH APPLING OINTMENT TO THE DAGGER SEEMS VIZARRE TO US, IT SHOWS THE POWER OF THE LOGIC OF CORRESPONDENCE THAT SO MANY PEOPLE FOLLOWED IN THAT CENTURY.
