‘That in the month July and the day shall be 23
in the Year of Our Lady Mary Overie…’
 
The Goose’s Prophesy was recorded by John Crow on the night of 23rd November 1996, as transmitted by the Goose. Recent examination of Crow’s notebook reveals that the line was originally:
 
‘… in the month July and the day shall be 23
in the Year of Our Lord 2023…’

The writer John Constable changed it for the scansion and to reflect the female nature of the Revelation. However, it’s there in black and white, as prophesied by The Goose 26 years and 8 months ago.
 
The 23rd July 2023 is the day to watch – and be here!
 
Open pathways!
