No palace in the north of Europe is as grand and spectacular as this regal complex of stately buildings sitting on an island in Lake Mälaren. The royal family still lives here, but the royal apartments are guarded and screened off.
The palace is dubbed the "Versailles of Sweden," and so it is. In fact, work began on this masterpiece in 1662 about the same time as Versailles. Nicodemus Tessin the Elder (1615-81), one of the most celebrated architects of the 17th century, was the master builder.
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Drottningholm needs about 3 hours of your time to visit it. Must-stops include the palace itself, the theater, the magnificent gardens, and the Chinese Pavilion. One highlight of any tour is the State Apartments, with a spectacular staircase decorated by Giovanni Carove, the Italian master. The apartments dazzle with opulent furniture and art from the 17th to the 19th century. You'll be as awed as we are by the painted ceilings, the precious Chinese vases, and the ornate gold chandeliers, as well as Hedvig Eleonora's state bedroom designed by Tessin the Elder and completed in 1663.
The Golden Age of Drottningholm came under the reign of Queen Lovisa Ulrika and her son, King Gustav III, who entertained lavishly. Lovisa married Crown Prince Adolf Fredrik in 1744 and demanded more rococo adornments, even going so far as to add another floor. A great patron of the arts, she was also responsible for ordering the building of the theater . Her library is a work of grand beauty, an excellent example of the Gustavian style by Jean Eric Rehn.
After checking out the grand interior, you should retreat to the Kina Slott (Chinese Pavilion). Built during the European craze for the exotic architecture of Asia, the pavilion was constructed in Stockholm in 1753. Later it was floated downriver to surprise Lovisa on her 33rd birthday. The pavilion, lying in the southeast corner of the park, is like an exotic silhouette of the Grand Trianon at Versailles. It was a favorite rendezvous place for Gustav III, who loved to pass summer days here with his court.
Allow as much time as you can to stroll through Drottningholm Gardens, the wonderful creation of Tessin the Younger in 1681. The baroque garden is flanked by an avenue of lime trees. The Hercules Fountain here is a famous bronze work, created by Adriaan de Vries and brought by Swedish soldiers from Prague in 1648. Other features of the park include English-style bridges, ornamental pools, canals, and a "water garden" with nearly a dozen water jets.
Drottningholm Court Theater is the grandest theater in all of Scandinavia. If we could grant five stars instead of the mandated three, they would go to this gem of baroque architecture designed by Carl Fredrik Adelcrantz for arts-oriented Lovisa. A previous theater on this site was destroyed by fire. The first performance was presented here back in 1766, and the theater reached its apogee under Gustav III. Even more so than Lovisa, Gustav (1742-92) was a patron of the arts, founding the Royal Music Academy and the Royal Opera, which presented performances here. The theater retains its original backdrops and props today. Even the same 18th-century ballets and operas are performed here, the productions authentic down to the original costumes. Between June and July, some two dozen performances are staged; seating only 450, the theater offers one of the most unusual entertainment experiences in Sweden. Many performances sell out far in advance to season ticket holders. The theater can be visited only as part of a guided tour, which focuses on the original sets and stage mechanisms. But theater buffs can visit the Theatre Museum, the setting for exhibits tracing the history of European theater since the 1700s, including displays of costumes, stage models, drawings, and paintings.

It was raining very hard outside and the water started coming through the ceiling of the cave. It made for a neat experience.

Odette Graskie "Human Noise"
The installation is composed of elements from two bodies of work:
The Sorrows
Sorrow (n.)
1. an unspoken intensity of feeling.
2. a spark of transcendence that punctuates the flatlining banality of everyday life.
3. a healthy kind of ache - that reminds you that you exist.
These bodies are a dance of humanity, and each form contains its own possible story mingles with the others. They explore man's existence in relation to forms that could be human too.The Sorrows are at times tragic and other times entirely silly. The work embodies the frail existence we all live as humans.
Ambedo
Ambedo (n.)
Becoming totally absorbed in vivid sensory details.
The work references the forest, letting the world say what it wants. These sculptures are represented as bouncing, anthropomorphic trees, the artist's imagined secret lives of the tress.

In this second book the author of Backwards addresses religious beliefs and backs up her report with the writings of biblical scholars and other researchers. Two revelations stand out. That messages from the Divine, what she calls Source, have been coming through to humans on a regular basis and none of them were religious leaders. They were artists, writers, teachers, performers and other inspired humans. Star Trek fans will be delighted to know that Gene Roddenberry was one of them, but that was the only name she recognized. Jesus however was a composite of several stories written some one hundred years after his death by men seeking to create the basis for a new religion.
Having been raised Catholic, the author spends a lot of time being mad at all the lies told to her and unravelling the truth behind these beliefs. That there is no hell and there was no fallen angel who became Satan. That is is human nature to want to blame something thus the creation of evil as a concept. She also gives context to the evolution of human thinking about the creation of the universe and the divine. This brings out another revelation. That the human species has already gone through a cycle of evolution resulting in higher civilization that manifested in cities like Atlantis although Atlantis itself is not one of them. Again a composite. But catastrophe did indeed wipe humans out along with plenty of other species. Land masses moved around, etc. and we had to start over going another round called the second epoch. The third epoch which is yet to come will not be cataclysmic she says and may be already upon us. Or will be once we go through some climate related natural disasters and viral mutations that will wipe out a number of humans and land masses. Specifically Japan, California from Big Sur down to Baja, Florida, New York and up the Eastern seaboard. The Third Epoch will be calmer with life on a smaller scale, but in the end the planet is still rendered uninhabitable just like Mars. Meh.
She again reiterates that humans are the host animal of the entities of Divine Source. It was the desire of Source to experience separateness thus Source split itself into a population of individual Light Beings that beamed themselves into the human host at birth. And though Source makes no moral judgement and gives no direction, these Light Beings sometimes take matters into their own hands and slip some pieces of information out through their human host to aid in relieving human suffering. This implies that even though we are not able to access all information as we would be outside of the body and reunited with Source we can create conditions to access such information on an as needed basis. She does not talk about shamanism at all but this falls right in line with shamanic cosmology.
And even though Source makes no judgement on what we do, she as a Light Being urges the reader to got on board with helping to save the planet so that's what her mission comes down to.

“My parents got divorced when I was around seven. They were married for 25 years. Had four kids and a really solid marriage until that point. Unusually my mum moved away while I stayed with my dad. There was a lot of resentment in my family for that. But my life was in that village - my family was there; my friends were there. And I don’t blame her for that, at all.
Everything was fine. My child coping mechanism kicked in and I dealt with it really well. As anyone really does in these situations. That set me up to deal with everything which came after. Anything life had to throw at me I could deal with. So in a funny way even though it was a horrible thing to go through, I would not be the resilient person I am now. It sounds weird but I’m thankful for those experiences.”
