We negotiate with the volcano Etna...

Mount Etna in Sicily is considered the most active and iconic volcano in the world and is protected by UNESCO. Its history spans half a million years, and its activity for the last 2,700 years is confirmed by many documentary sources. To this day, it is the most attractive object of study not only for volcanologists, geophysicists and geologists, but also for ordinary people trying to learn something unknown, associated with many wonders...
Currents of love and hate still hover around this majestic volcano, constantly overgrown with many myths and legends. One of them is connected with the story of lovers Akida (Achi) and Galatea, but to their misfortune, the Cyclops Poithem fell in love with Galatea, and in order to take possession of her, he threw a block of lava from Mount Etna and killed the young man. And to console Galatea, the gods turned the blood of her lover into a river. And she, having turned into sea foam, could meet with him forever, and this love was sung by Ovid and Virgil... The most famous legend is connected with the name of the giant Enceladus, who wanted to take the place of Zeus and built a ladder to the sky. But Zeus threw lightning at him and the giant was buried under a volcano, from where, overcome with rage, he began to spew fire and flames, which continue to this day... And so the dying King Arthur, wounded by his son, was carried by Archangel Michael to Etna, where the sword broken in a duel was miraculously restored. And the king, after awakening in a cave on Mount Etna, was enchanted by the beauty surrounding him and began to pray that the volcano would not destroy these heavenly lands...
However, the volcano has not known peace for thousands of years and has been relentless! Etna continues to be divided into two parts by a 26-kilometer rift formed during the great eruption. This park can only be visited with a certified guide, since there are 45 volcanoes here, and new ones are constantly forming... So in our time, the crater, which has been active since February 8, continued to erupt lava. And a video taken from a drone of one of the scientific laboratories on February 24, captured a forming lava field at an altitude of 3.05 km. And unlike the southwestern slope, on April 22, Etna began to actively erupt from the southeastern slope. Thus, in the first hours of April 30, the Strombolian eruption caused the aviation color code to be raised to red due to abundant ash emissions. But Catania airport continued to operate, so on May 4, having landed there safely, I immediately set off by car towards the accommodation I had rented in the vicinity of the volcano.
Having completed the first stage of the planned work in the first two days, on May 6th I set off in a jeep to Etna. The road was winding, the weather promised to be sunny, and nevertheless, due to the increased risk of an eruption, some roads were closed. The car was driven by a Sicilian woman who bravely moved not only along a good road, but also among centuries-old trees, wherever it was possible to slip through... In some places, a good road was blocked by a lava flow.
After the jeep was left by the road, it became necessary to move on foot, climbing to a certain height, and the higher, the harder it was to breathe.
And then suddenly a downpour began, but fortunately it caught us practically next to a cave that was once formed as a result of an eruption of lava, the heat of which was a thousand degrees. Here we had to wait out the gusts of freezing wind, as well as thunder and lightning. As soon as all this died down, the path leading to one of the calderas was continued... But the downpour decided not to stop there, and if below it was 28 and sunny, then above it was already 8 degrees and a piercing icy wind made itself felt, since I set off lightly...
Having reached a certain height, I decided to retire, turning off the path to decide on my next plan of action, but then I heard a sharp cry. Turning around, I saw a woman who had fallen and was trying to crawl away from the lower edge of the path. I immediately rushed to her aid and mechanically extended my right hand, which I had previously pressed to my chest, since due to a sprained ligament and inflammation of the elbow joint, I felt a sharp shooting pain piercing my entire arm. In general, I helped her up, but she could not step on her foot, since she had twisted her foot. There was no one nearby, and so I had to carry her on myself to some extent.
Then she asked to stop to sit down and catch her breath. The path was very slippery because of the downpour, in fact, we were already wet… The woman turned out to be from Australia, but I said that I was from Russia, from Moscow. She was very grateful for the help, although she was constantly moaning in pain. And yet, looking at the birches growing below, she mentioned with a smile that they are a symbol of Russia - on Etna!..
After some time, some men came up to us, and, having learned about what had happened, one of them, a younger one, lifted this rather “weighty” woman onto himself and carried her as if she were a small child, although she was quite old… Of course, as always, during my trips, which involve Spatial Labor, some phenomena occur both on the invisible and visible planes, which are not accidental. Unfortunately, not everything can be entrusted to paper, but more detailed information can be read in my future book called “Cosmic Cooperation”. In the meantime, you can look at the photographs and short videos that I managed to shoot, and send kind thought forms in support of the volcanoes, making their own Evolutionary Path, being welded together by single Fiery arteries, both on the Aboveground and underground planes…
And one should always remember that the arsenal of the Cosmic Forces contains the most powerful weapon - the Elements! Do not wake up trouble while it is quiet, knowing that the Hierarchy of Light is endowed with the Right from Above to Provide Help only by fifty percent, and the rest is the work of the entire Human Race, endowed with free will to do Good. And we, people, can always conclude a "non-aggression pact" with volcanoes, if we treat them as powerful conglomerates possessing a certain degree of intelligence, and direct our forces not to fratricidal wars, but to pacifying the Elemental Forces!..
With Love,
Zinovya Dushkova.
