Talking Walls- Casting Out the Post Contact Stone Wall Building Myth of the Northeast- 2015 Publication Studio
“ This work of fresh research by Catskill artist Matt Bua lies at the crossroads of archeology and regional history. Talking Walls scrutinizes the oft-repeated story of the origins of the Northeast's famed stone walls. Were 252,000 miles of stone walls—enough to reach the far side of the moon—in fact built by European colonists in a period of roughly 100 years, or are they perhaps much older? Employing a mountain of testimony from archaeological sources, popular history and hands-on investigation, Bua's imaginative book draws closer to a profound new reading of our shared landscape and its ancient past. Talking Walls includes a case study of a stone wall complex in Kiskatom, on the western edge of the town of Catskill.”

Washington Irving and the Great Manitou Transmission of 1818
A magical transference occurred sometime in the early 1800’s where the sacred wisdom from the earth- successfully found a receptive mind who was able to both hear these whispered messages and then was also capable of transmitting her voice and concerns to a much wider audience. That willing and able body was Washington Irving .His capabilities included tuning into and believing in the sentient communication skills of non-other than Mother Earth herself. Rip Van Winkle has a Postscript which many people are unaware of. It is a prophetic fable warning us about what happens to those who ignore her wisdom and try and taint or steal her greatest resource to the human race: Water This tale conjured by Irving and added on to the end of arguably his most famous short story, deals with these powerful spiritual and fundamental life forces through the perspective of the Native American concept of Manitou. get it here!
