A Tale Of Two (Celery) Stalks
The Ojibwe and other Mass Exodus, Wilderness People; such as the Hebrews at Mount Sinai, share unusual botanical element combinations that ought to transcend coincidences.
The Ojibwa and Hebrews shared highly unusual cultural practices, independently and without communication or transportation between them: The use of Galbanum, Chitin and Broadleaf/Pine Wood Extracts inside rectangularly-shaped temporary sanctuaries / shrines.
Some speculate this coincidence suggests a heavenly pattern or The Creator’s sovereignty over worldwide resources for His own pleasure, instead of human preferences.
Galbanum is a Celery derived Fixative / Modifier for herbal Smoke Offering mixtures. Chitin is a very tough (nonprotein) natural polymer that forms fungal and snail structures. These along with wood extracts and physical architecture were recorded roughly 3,300 years ago, in the Copper Mine area of Northeastern Egypt, as divine commands or directives dictating exactly how The Creator must be worshiped or what is required for sacred spaces. During this time (3,300 years ago) The Ojibwa are believed to have been residing near the mouth of the St. Lawrence River as part of a massive population of Algonquian Peoples.
The Ojibwa and Hebrews both recorded a miraculous divine manifestation in the sky that guided their flight migrations through the wilderness. The Ojibwa described this manifestation as a seashell and the Hebrews described the manifestation as a pillar.

(burned) fragrances. Blended with other ingredients it acts as Fixative meaning it deepens the other scents and
makes the overall perfume last much longer. |
