Seven Volcanoes that are thousands of miles from one another all erupted within days of each other starting on November 17th 2013. Many of these eruptions were single day events almost as if earth was releasing energy in an intense but short purge.
Nov 17th. Possibly the most impressive eruptions took place in Italy at Mount Etna. The current eruption started a few days ago and has been getting stronger as time moves on. A massive eruption lit up the sky and disturbed residents yesterday and the ash cloud was high enough to see flights canceled. The lava flow was the biggest in years, and the town of Zafferana, which lay in its path, saw some damage. Lava diverters were put into place, and most of the town escaped unscathed.
Nov 17th. About 7,000 miles away in Mexico, the Colima volcano began erupting after a period of relative calm. In towns a few miles away, people heard the rumblings of the mountain and saw clouds of ash and steam as the volcano’s activity increased.
Nov 18th. Guatemala’s ‘Fire Mountain’ also saw increased activity as the mountain spewed lava and an ash cloud causing ash to litter the streets and houses of nearby towns. Ash wasn’t all that was seen and felt by the towns as people reported hearing explosions and feeling shock waves up to 6 miles from the volcano. Doors and windows were rattling but no damage has been reported so far.
Nov 18th. Indonesia was home of Mount Sinabung which also erupted causing a four mile high ash cloud to spew into the air which made life difficult for citizens in the area. The mountain was dormant for hundreds of years but came back to life in 2010. The recent rumbling caused the evacuation of over 6000 people as scientists feared a major eruption could occur. Although no lava flows have begun, the ash cloud is growing quite rapidly.
Nov 18th. Also in Indonesia, on the island of Java, Mount Merapi erupted. While there is little information as to what happened or what damage may have been caused, there are no reported casualties so far.
Nov 19th. Finally, in Vanuatu, the Yasur volcano began raising concern as weak explosions from the volcano began sending ash down onto nearby farmland. Although activity is weak, a close eye is being kept on the volcano in case activity increases.
Nov 21st. A submarine eruption just off the coast of Nishino-Shima Island, Japan has erupted for the first time in 40 years. This gave birth to a new island in the pacific ocean. The eruption was first noted by the Japanese Navy as explosions and boiling lava met sea water giving way to plumes of steam and ash.

Why did all of these volcanoes suddenly become more active at a the so close to one another? The answer to that question is not yet known however it is interesting to note that according to the Smithsonian, we are currently experiencing much greater than normal amounts of active eruptions at one time. They state that normal parameters can account for up to 20 eruptions on a given day, we are currently sitting at 34.
Volcanoes are essentially release points on the earth and as pressure builds up beneath the earths surface, they release a mix of steam and gases. Sometimes volcanoes will also release rocks, molten rock and lava. Ultimately, a volcanic eruption is a release of built up energy, so one could say that the earth is releasing a great deal of built up energy at this time. This does tend to roll right along with many beliefs about a shift in consciousness taking place where both humanity and the earth will go through a series of changes ultimately reshaping the way humanity perceives the world. Since everything is energy and everything is consciousness, it could be said that this is all a part of what one might expect during this shift. At this time there is no scientific proof to go along with this especially since we don’t yet understand much about these eruptions, but I believe we are in very interesting times and not only are we changing but so is the planet. Do these eruptions relate to changes? I believe they do, but that is based on my intuition and not data I have found.
