SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: APRIL 11, 2024

VOLCANIC VORTEX RINGS: Mount Etna in Italy is doing something rare and beautiful. “It is blowing smoke rings,” reports Marcella Giulia Pace, who photographed the phenomenon on April 6th.

“A continuous jet of rings is dancing around the craters until they dissolve into the sky–a phenomenon of extreme rarity,” she says.

Mount Etna has produced vortices before, but nothing like this. In April 2024 Etna “has broken all previous records,” according to Boris Behncke of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology of Catania. Tourists are flocking to the mountain to witness the display.

The rapid-fire puffs are coming from a newly-opened vent, which is blowing rings of volcanic gas similar to how dolphins blow bubble rings in water.

The gas rings are composed of 80 percent water vapor, with the remaining 20 percent mostly made of sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide. It is the water vapor that gives the rings their white hue, making them resemble Gandalf-like smoke rings.

MAGNETIC FILAMENT ERUPTION (UPDATED): A filament of magnetism in the sun’s northern hemisphere erupted yesterday, April 10th (1935-2045 UT). At first, a shock wave rippling through the sun’s atmosphere hinted at an Earth-directed CME. New images from SOHO coronagraphs show that there was no significant CME. We will not be affected by the blast, after all.

12 Offering/MULUC (Cherokee, The River/YUN’WI GUNNAHI’TA) – Day 12 of 13 in the 1 Flint/ETZNAB cycle of Truth from Above

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom preserved on MayanMajix.com

Galactic Tone 12: Understanding. This number’s energy is a gift of great capability of retrospection. It is this ability that allows Twelve to connect disassociated parts into a (new) functioning whole. The energy of Twelve is that which presents a new piece of understood information or accumulated experience to be applied.

Offering/MULUC: Also known as the sign of water. Ceremonially, Maya use water as an offering in baptisms and purification. These ceremonies are done to bring about a collective strength, adaptability and harmony. In sincere appreciation, Offering people gladly give more than they ask for themselves. Offering persons are dynamic communicators with great intelligence making them excellent employers. Like a shaken vessel of water, Offering people regain equilibrium quickly. Also like a body of water, there may be deep undercurrents of emotion and hidden dangers. Others perceive these as hidden agendas in offering people and so extend them little trust and may even slap blame on them.

A GOOD DAY TO: Offer appreciation for all of Creation.

Cherokee, The River/YUN’WI GUNNAHI’TA:  The River is symbolized by The Milky Way, the Gihli’Utsun’stanun’yi “Where the Dog Ran” to gather the souls for Heaven.  The River is the minion for Grandfather Moon.  Long Man is the personification of the River stretching from the mountains to the lowlands, speaking to those who can understand.  People of this sign find “sermons in the stones” and good in everything.  These souls march to a different drummer, driven by inner volcanic forces.  The Moon controls our fluid cycle, to clear and understand emotional issues.  When you take this step to clear the emotional body, then you are ready for transformational energies at the next level.  As humans, our actions are ruled by our emotions, the key is to understand the connection and honor the emotions.
