WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

Kithra's Illusion of Reality


I hope this doesn’t go up twice, but I wasn’t sure that the Blogger Schedule was working so I posted it manually:

KITHRA ON THE WOODWOSE AND THE GREEN MAN

The Woodwose, sometimes called the Wild Man, is very similar to the Green Man. Both appear in ancient mythology and have their origins in ancient paganism. And since they became subsumed into Christianity in mediaeval times, both can often be found as decoration in Churches.

Whilst the Green Man, a pre-Christian fertility symbol, is usually depicted with the face half-covered in leaves and vines emanating from the mouth, the Woodwose is usually shown as a complete part-human figure carrying a club, with the limbs being leafy. It also often shows a thick beard and wears a cap. The Woodwose may also be shown holding the club in different positions. Sometimes this is on its side and sometimes it is raised. There is a theory that a raised club depicts the figure before it was converted to Christianity, but it’s probably more correct to believe that it was raised to ward off evil spirits.

http://kithraskrystalkave.blogspot.com/2010/11/nasa-conspiracies-truth-behind-moon.html

Kithra eulogises over Nick Redfern's new book, and quotes a lengthy article about NASA cover ups including that of alien life. Jolly good stuff.

KITHRA GOES BLOOP. WOW!

Over on her blog, Kithra writes:

After days of struggle, and very bad weather that meant the thunderstorms and heavy rain kept me off the computer, I have now completed the first of the new articles that I intended to add to my website.This one is called The "Bloop" and "Wow!" Signals; about two very different, and very intriguing, signals that were received by scientists over the years. The “Bloop” falls into the Fortean category, while the “WOW!” was found by the SETI project seeking alien life. You can read it clicking here.

KITHRA DISCUSSES THE TORBAY MONSTER

http://kithraskrystalkave.blogspot.com/2010/08/sea-monster-seen-off-paignton-devon.html



Over on her blog, Kithra discusses the Torbay sea monster with the calm good sense that she is known for. She also says very nice things about me, and I hope that I have not come over as just a middle-aged, bad-tempered and opinionated man. I mean, I am just a bad-tempered and opinionated middle-aged man, but we wouldn't want all the world to know that, would we?

KITHRA'S CORVIDS

According to the RSPB both magpies and jackdaws are members of the Corvidae family of birds. Well, I’m not scientifically minded so that’s not really important to me. And I do know what type of bird is being talked of when the word 'corvid' is mentioned. But that’s all somewhat beside the point.

When I first knew that I was moving home I knew that I would miss the pair of magpies that I had been able to watch flying around the garden during the years that I lived in my old home. There were very few things that I was going to miss but those birds were one of them. So imagine my delight when I arrived here to see not two, but three, magpies in the garden. They are joined occasionally by a couple of jackdaws, another bird that I’d seen at my previous address. The garden here is surrounded by mature trees, although I don’t know what species they are, and it also has a bird table where smaller birds appreciate the food put out for them. At night we even have the odd urban fox foraging around the property; along with most of the neighbourhood cats.

CFZ PEOPLE: Kithra

http://kithraskrystalkave.blogspot.com/2010/06/im-back.html


Kithra is back online. I for one have missed her. However, the strains of her move have made her somewhat unwell and as she writes: "To those of you who have emailed me, I'll reply when I really am feeling better."



You can't say fairer than that!

KITHRA LOOKS AT NICK'S LATEST

Over on her blog, Kithra takes a look at the latest offering from our very own Nick Redfern, Pelsall's Mr Entertainment:

'After many problems with the US post office the copy of Nick Redfern’s book “Contactees: A History of Alien-Human Interaction,” that he so very kindly sent me, finally arrived; and I’ve just finished reading it. I have no expertise in doing a book review so these are just my thoughts; the things that occurred to me as I was reading. I began by sending Nick my thoughts and he suggested that I do a Blog Post, so here it is. Those familiar with the articles on my website will know that I like to take a rather unconventional angle on things.'

KITHRA WITH ALL BIGFOOTS GREAT AND SMALL

KITHRA WRITES: While reading one of Nick Redfern’s many blogs I see that he’s about to review a new book entitled: “Solomon Islands Mysteries” by Marius Boirayon. In his very short post Nick mentions that the book contains information about Bigfoot-type creatures.

I have to admit, that even with my own long-held interest in what many would simply term Bigfoot this was a completely new idea to meREAD ON...
