Asagi Grade A Koi Carp Cyprinus CarpioAsagi Grade A Koi Carp Cyprinus Carpio Many koi keepers argue that Asagi is the greatest variety of koi because it was the first recognised ornamental carp, that is, the first koi variety.

Asagi Grade A Koi Carp Cyprinus CarpioMany koi keepers argue that Asagi is the greatest variety of koi because it was the first recognised ornamental carp, that is, the first koi variety. The ancestor fish of koi carp is the Magoi (mah-GOY) wild carp which was a staple food in many Japanese diets for hundreds of years before the first koi came to be. The Magoi black carp was first brought to Japan in roughly 200BC by an invading force from China.
It was not until about 160 years ago when Magoi farmers decided to breed the fish as ornamental fish. At that point, they had been farming Magoi for over 2000 years since it was introduced to Japan. Before then, the occasional Magoi had been born with mutations causing colour changes in the skin and scales, but the farmers considered these to be defects. Therefore, the fish were removed from the gene pool so that these defects would not continue to be present. However, some farmers decided to keep these fish as trophies and as "collectors’ fish" since they looked different and more interesting than the standard Magoi. This then led to local farmers sharing their "defective" Magois and competing with each other over who has the best fish. As you can imagine, the farmers then decided to start breeding these Magoi so as to get more mutations that could be shown off. These farmers were in fact the first koi breeders.
It did not take many generations of these mutated Magois before the typical pattern that is associated with modern Asagi started to crop up. Once this pattern started to become popular, so did the practice of keeping these fish as pets. More and more people wanted them, and not all farmers. Thus begin the market for Asagi fish and with it came the hobby of koi keeping.
So, Asagi was the first koi, and it was the fish that started the whole hobby. The name Asagi literally translates as “setting sun” . But why are they not in the Gosanke trio then? Mostly because many breeders and koi keepers believe them to be too plain and boring and too alike the wild carp to be part of the trio of the "best" koi. It is the belief of many that that title should go to more exciting and colourful koi, but many also appreciate the simplicity of a beautiful Asagi and respect its amazing history. Without the Asagi, we would not have the many koi varieties we have today.

An enjoyable read which correlates with the books of Dick van Romunde and Rudolph Steiner. Some interesting exercises to try on one’s own to nave their own experiences.
I also enjoyed his art work.

In depth look at Wilhelm Reich's life and discoveries
Format: Paperback
In depth look at Wilhelm Reich's life and discoveries. Up to date with new technology like LED bulbs. It has sections on how to practically make some of his devices with pictures. Explains in detail about sources and some disclaimers on how not to do things wrong. Great read. Real full length book. The print on some pages was not the highest quality. Looked like the printer was low on ink. The information was readable however. If you want to learn more about Wilhelm Reich and his tragic story it is a great read with practical solutions for your health. There is no over claim of fixing everything overnight and I look forward to testing a lot of his great ideas.

2nd purchase of this excellent book
Format: Paperback
I had a copy of this book years ago which I loaned out and never saw again. Now I will tell people where they can buy their own copy. Orgone works. I have made several Orgone blankets for myself and others. They are an amazing tool. Looking forward to trying some of the other projects detailed in the book.

Excellent manual and historical expose
Format: Paperback
Wonderfully put expose into the Illuminazi suppression of scientific discovery when it comes to freely available energy. The manual includes replicatable schematics, however I do think it is worthwhile to investigate adding an antenna and placing the accumulator on top of a highrise building. If I were the Illuminazi, who already siphon the energy on top of their highrises and hoard it for themselves, I would be Very upset if regular people could do it too...
