Join Online Class in Intuition, Astrology and Tarot with Gwynne

An intuitive study of our ‘soul connections’ in relationships

Wednesdays, 7:00 – 8:00 p.m.

 May 20 – June 24, 2020 (6 classes) 

We will be looking at the persons who have had an impact on our spiritual work and compare the charts with both relationship asteroids as well as the Moons nodes and Pluto’s nodes in relationships.  This is an individual study of relationships and karmic connections with those who have made an impact on our lives both spiritually and karmically. We use astrology, numerology and tarot to verify our intuitive understanding.  It is important in spiritual work to listen to our deepest intuition which needs to be developed through meditation, contemplation and study.  This is not a class teaching astrology or tarot, and a basic understanding of each subject will be needed to participate. Recommended texts include The Tarot Handbook by Angeles Arrien and A Cosmic Science by Isabele Hickey and study from other astrologers as well as Theosophical library of teachers. (i.e. Grasse, Meader and Gunning, etc.)  The class will be recorded for the first 30 minutes of the lesson and private work done by participants will not be recorded for confidentiality purposes.

Registrants in the online class are committed to attend most classes and working with their relationship charts.

Registrants for recordings only will received the recordings and not participate in the online class.

Ninilchik Our Destination

While we are in Ninilchik, we view the following sites

Bear fishing alongside fishermen on one of the many rivers.

Bears delighted in their catch---a real bear hug.

A spawning salmon in one of the many streams we fish.

All within view of the old Russian Village of Ninilchik, the church and grave yard, which is somewhat separate from the rest of Ninilchik on the main drag.

And Deep Creek where we launch the boats, using skidders. The tides are 14 to 15 ft. high so we must fish according to the tides.

Homer Spit staying for two nights the end of July

The first settlers couldn't possibly have envisioned the lively colorful scene that the end of the Homer Spit has become. Back then, shortly before the turn of the century, the 4.5 mile long finger was a grassy, flower-carpeted stretch with a grove of spruce, considerably higher, wider and drier than it is now. The massive 1964 earthquake reduced the Spit to 508 acres, about 350 of which are submerged at mean high tide.

The prevalent theory as to the origin of this formation holds that it is an unusually long sand spit, built up over the millennia from sand, silt gravel and coal deposited by the complex currents of Cook Inlet and Kachemak Bay. A second theory is that glaciers retreating into the Kenai Mountains to the southwest left behind a ridge of debris – terminal moraine – which then served as a collector for the ocean's deposits. And the ever-restless elements continue to rearrange this unique spot, most notably rebuilding the beach on the end of the spit to pre earthquake dimensions.

Archeological digs indicate that early Native peoples probably camped out here although their villages were on the far side of Kachemak Bay.
A more permanent habitation grew up much later with the arrival of Americans. The turn-of-the-century settlers found the easterly end of the Spit a handy place to land boats and early-day coal shipping led to construction of a wharf and a company town there. When coal mining faded and fisheries became the focus, the wharf – and eventually the harbor – developed into an even more important key to the local economy.

A visitor driving down the longest road into the ocean in the world can only guess at the battles – both human and elemental – that rage around this prime piece of real estate. Sometimes it's a tug of war between the humans and the elements as violent storms try to break the Spit off from the mainland and man brings in more riprap to reinforce it. Less visible is the eternal struggle among the residents over the Spit's highest and best use. The piles of logs and wood chips, harvested from the forests 40 miles north of town and awaiting shipment to Japan or the Lower 48, spell an economic boost to some, environmental downfall to others. Even the sets of boardwalk shops have been the subject of much discussion; do they mar the view or add interest?

And while most folks agree that the Fishing Hole is a good addition, some think it isn't fair for the planted salmon to be tricked into swimming back to an artificial home where they can't spawn. Never mind the question of whether or not camping should be allowed around the Fishing Hole. Amidst renewed cries to get the city out of the camping business, the council voted to allow camping at the base of the Spit on the northwest side and at the Fishing Hole. A concessionaire will be around to collect.

Silver Salmon Fishing is our Goal

Alaska Silver (Coho) salmon: Greenish blue back with silvery sides. Small black spots on the back, dorsal fin, and usually on the upper lobe of the tail.. The gum line is white to light gray. Spawning adults develop greeenish black heads and dark brown to maroon bodies.

The Alaska silver salmon has been called the greatest Alaska sport fish. The State of Alaska sport fishing record is 26 pounds. The general weight range on the Kenai River and Kenai Peninsula stream systems run from 9-24 pounds. The coho has certainly has an important place in Alaska subsistence and commercial fisheries. The life cycle of the silver salmon is similar to that of the Alaska king salmon. Silver salmon will stay in the freshwater for a year or two before migrating to the saltwater where they will spend at least 2 years swimming the Kenai coastal waters or in the Gulf of Alaska. Even as young smolt in freshwater the Alaska silver salmon is a voracious and aggressive eater and are known to eat each other and these aggressive tendencies are their undoing as a sport fish. Beginning in late July, Alaska silver salmon will begin to congregate in bays and near mouths of their spawning streams and rivers as they wait for nature to optimize water temperature and stream flow before they continue migration to their freshwater spawning grounds. This life pattern makes the silver salmon a great saltwater and freshwater sport fish on the Kenai Peninsula over a long season.. In saltwater from mid July through September the areas near Deep Creek, Anchor River, and Whiskey Gulch are productive. Kachemak Bay, Resurrection Bay, Seldovia Bay and the homer Spit provide anglers with good shore and boat coho fishing. Freshwater fishermen on the Kenai , Russian, Anchor and Kasilof Rivers as well as Deep Creek and Crooked Creek provide outstanding freshwater Alaska silver salmon fishing action from late July through October. The Kenai Peninsula lake system and the Kenai Canoe Trails in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge also provides some great fishing action for landlocked silver salmon and for salmon in the Swanson River system.

Audrey and her panning for gold.

This is an old gold mine, an example of ones that we visit along the way and Audrey loves to pan for gold.

Fishing in the Kenai is always a challenge, especially when you get tangled up with another angler, as well as watching our for feeding bear.
