Rose Hobart present a reissue of Thuja's 2002 album, Hills. The album emerged out of a particularly productive phase for the loose assemblage of musicians known as the Jewelled Antler Collective. Glenn Donaldson and Loren Chasse, who had recently formed Thuja alongside Steven R. Smith and Rob Reger, were dialing down the volume, moving away from the instrumental rock interludes of previous groups like Mirza, and exploring more rugged terrain - laminal improvisation, wistful wide-eyed folk songs, field recordings, and home-recorded electro-acoustics. By 2002, Jewelled Antler had developed a certain notoriety for unstintingly releasing excellent, small-run CD-R releases. Thuja's albums had been picked up by Craig Stewart's visionary Emperor Jones imprint, but Hills was released on a small-scale American CD-R label, Last Visible Dog, run by Chris Moon. Of the four albums (and two more mini-CDs) Thuja released that year, Hills is a startling document, a collection of eviscerated dream tones and cavernous psychoacoustics. The unforced, luxuriant development of Thuja's music - a misty fold of keyboard drones, tinkling piano, clusters of percussion, shuttling and scrabbling strings and other things - often asks for metaphor from the natural world. But this is also distinctly city-based music, as Donaldson described it: "insular warehouse music from a still affordable city, before the internet dominated everything. No intention of getting noticed or 'streamed', just making sounds for the sake of it. A rejection of rock things: clubs, structure, volume." The music on Hills and other, loosely contemporaneous releases often played on broken instruments and non-instruments, with small, sensual details captured by contact mics, was "all improvised," Donaldson recalls, "but no 'jamming' or soloing [was] allowed, just a slow evolution towards a mood." In that respect, Thuja can lay claim to a heritage of all-in-one, group-mind improvisation that arcs back to AMM and Musica Elettronica Viva, but also connects with other, less immediately recognizable precursors - there are shades here of groups like Biota, or composer Sofia Gubaidulina's improvisatory outfit Astreja. There's a relaxed yet questing folksiness too.

Not helpful
Format: Paperback
This book is so basic it doesn't really help much in tips on identifying rocks and minerals. The photos are enlarged so much they are distorted and most photos are of the rocks cleaned and polished. That doesn't help with how to spot things in nature or where to look. I'm really disappointed. Also, Montana has a lot of cool rocks but all books ever speak of are sapphires and agates. I feel like I wasted my money. There are some helpful things but even as a beginner, most of the contents are known.

my spirit guardian
Format: Kindle
I am watching a practice witchcraft. Right after I started practicing witchcraft my spirit guardian came to me in a visit. She is an old medicine woman from an indigenous tribe.
I also have two other spirit guardians both or former pets that were killed. They are my protectors. However, the spirit guardian that came to me in the vision. She is the one that brings me warning, gives me my spells, helps me with virtually everything into my day-to-day living. I found it ironic that I came across this book whenever whenever it showed in my recommended reading list. But I digress, the first few paragraphs told me everything that I already knew and brought confirmation to what my spirit guardian had already told me. I flip through the book read a few things. I personally do not believe in angels, but I do believe that if you are willing to open yourself up your guardian will be they’re guiding you the entire time.
One particular example that I would like to give. A few days ago I’ve gotten up and I stood by my altar to do my morning magic. As I started the ritual, I felt this fear come over me and started in my guts. This is the area where my spirit guardian warns me and tells me not to do something. At that point I felt or it was pressed upon me that I needed to hurry up and get dressed and start my day. I drive rideshare, Uber I heard up got dressed and I thought point I felt like not to make any noise in my house. I quickly left my house went to my car got it warmed up as fast as I possibly could and left. The moment I left my property because I live in the country and got on the road that fear left. After meditating on it I have to believe that my spirit garden was protecting me from a dark force that was coming for me. That I needed to leave the property as fast as I could because I was in danger
