Equinox

Artistpriestess — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 19:23:31 GMT

When dawn rose on the twins your dance began, an endless reel around the standing stones where the water - bearer floats the cradle ark. But in the trees a silent watcher stood, envious of your power and your art. He planned to challenge your dominion over moon and hearth; mark and enslave you, subject your secrets to his tyranny. He was your lover once, partner in this rite, other half of fate's consummation, now he would take you for a plaything to be used. And yet you cling to one great secret still, one thing your master can never control though his dark science seems to shade the sun and hides your joy in deep shadows of guilt. So as the balance tips, dance in the dark and while the light is weak protect the flame that soon must kindle the absolving fire so temple's false deceiving walls will burn and two that once were one are reconciled by Ian R Thorp

Six Months

Artistpriestess — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 20:06:15 GMT

It has been six months, today, that Christopher Robin disappeared . . . We will be performing a vigil and healing vortex TONIGHT, from 7pm-9pm PST, and invite anyone who wishes to participate in any way from any place they can . . . The intent of this ritual will be for protection and guidance for Christopher, and those who are suffering during his absence . . . Chris went missing September 3rd, 2007 at approx 8pm MST, from Cedar City, UT . . . while we have has numerous psychic and a few physical leads there is nothing that has been substantiated . . . because Chris is 18 we have little help from authorities . . . Chris had a traumatic Brain Injury when he was 7 and suffers from ADD and short term memory loss . . . he has all the characteristics of an Indigo or crystal child, and while he is extremely intelligent, he is social inexperienced . . . he had only been driving for two weeks and had no experience on his own at the time of his disappearance . . . there have been physical tips the he or his blazer might have been sighted in the four corners region, but these cannot be verified . . . most of the psychic tips see him as alive, but bound, held, drugged, not in his body and scared . . . My gratitude to everyone who has continued to send there prayers and energy for Chris safe return, and the emotionally well being of his family . . . Anam Cara, Bonnie

Despair

Artistpriestess — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 01:30:57 GMT

Despair I look around me, and I'm in despair. I glance at each and every corner I feel so alone. My wants and dreams for my children Just one, be not in despair Yet I see another one of my children falling thoughts of my deadly despair, getting nowhere, going nowhere. This same vicious cycle. Oh! Lord I must change this hurt that I have given my children. Lord! Help, help them to break this inheritance to not fall upon their children. Help me! for I'm in despair for happiness and peace for my children. They have tried to make a change, from this grieving and despair, a peace of mind, a will to make my days upon this grieving world better. If I could just make that one difference, I would live much happier and peaceful. Diane Jimenez

A Celtic Blessing of Light

Artistpriestess — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 06:28:50 GMT

“May the blessing of light be on you, light without and light within. May the blessed sunlight shine upon you and warm your heart till it glows, Like a great peat fire, so that the stranger may come and warm himself at it, as well as the friend. And may the light shine out of the eyes of you, like a candle set in the windows of a house, Bidding the wanderer to come in out of the storm. And may the blessing of the rain be on you - the soft sweet rain. May it fall upon your spirit so that all the little flowers may spring up, And shed their sweetness on the air. And may the blessing of the great rains be on you, that they beat upon your spirit and wash it fair and clean, and leave there many a shining pool, and sometimes a star. And may the blessing of the earth be on you - the great round earth; May you ever have a kindly greeting for people you pass as you are going along the roads. And now may the Lord bless you, and bless you kindly.” Anam Cara, Bonnie

Fear . . .

One Step at a Time . . .

Artistpriestess — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 19:39:39 GMT

Rows of ragged rocks outline a path for healing? Brown, decaying leaves hug the winter ground – a blanket to transform? The labyrinth awaits the sojourner-- almost calls her name-- Will you enter my simple boundaries and journey my paths One Step at a Time? Straight ahead, yet winding and crooked The curled road beckons to be trod -- reinforcing the uplifted blessing the downtrodden Maybe tears, maybe joy, maybe peace One Step at a Time. All who are heavy laden, come stand at the gate All who are fragmented, place one foot down and the other in front All who find wonder in the commonplace, Come travel the narrow rows One Step at a Time. Give up your burdens, your middle of the night worries Lay a care on a silver, craggly rock as you pass and move on to the next, the monotony will soothe you One Step at a Time. Moving inward, The trail winds in and out Muscles untensing, The walker’s job seems easy, The cares tumble down and hit the ground with imagined force lightening the load on contact One Step at a Time. Step 48, step 49, many more follow while curling toward center like a snail into its shell Motionless at last, a wooden cross is sighted, God’s presence overwhelms and envelopes the inner sanctum-- His peace now a cloister on the journey half over One Step at a Time. The pause to discover new perspectives to ponder fresh eyes, lightened heart the world is a wonder with steps unencumbered the pilgrimage rewinds One Step at a Time. The breathing is slower the feet touch down lower, and easier on the road well-worn The unknown, now familiar the end is the beginning the sad is now glory All happening unexpectedly One Step at a Time. A twist inward A transformation outward A fresh view from fatigued eyes All part of a simple design of much complexity with the whole greater than the sum of the steps All the while traveling One Step at a Time. Suzanne Moody March 1999 Macon, Georgia

Sojourn

Artistpriestess — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 18:58:15 GMT

Sojourn I see it now in memory, the land from which I fare, the m'mory of her blessed shores, makes all others seem cold and bare. I remember well my people, as last I saw their faces, before they met the bloodied blades, and fell unto their graces. Only I remember, for all others they forgot, the visions they have witnessed, and the vengence that is sought. So for my people I will wander, in sojourn without home, that their memory lives on, wherever that I roam.

Lost and Confused

Artistpriestess — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 04:05:27 GMT

My Deepest Gratitude to all those who made my recent Road Trip possible . . . I am truly humbled by your gifts of money, time, talismans, flyers, pet sitting, time off from work, a place to stay, and all of your prayers and readings . . . I received exactly what I needed to make the trip, and am deeply indebted to each of you . . . I apologize if I have seemed distant since my return . . . I am having a difficult time grounding and being present on this earth plane . . . I float around like a disembodied spirit, observing my surroundings with a detached neutrality . . . nothing seems to have any meaning or value . . . I have included the highlights of my trip below if you are interested . . . I still welcome any offers of readings, viewings, prayers or advice for my son, his girlfriend Sasha, and myself . . . The website below is accepting donations for a Reward for information and a Private Investigator if anyone is in the position to help. Again, a heart felt "Thank You" for everything everyone has done . . . Anam Cara, Bonnie http://findchris.org/ After some last minute arrangements for Dog sitting I finally left town around noon on Saturday, 10/20/07 . . . it is a six hour drive to Southern Utah where my family lives . . . this is usually an uneventful trip (I avoid Vegas like the plague), but I had been warned that the 1st big Northern storm of the season would be coming through the Southwest over the weekend . . . I caught the worst of it between Barstow and Vegas as a massive sand storm, and it was very violent with almost zero visibility. It was during this time that something odd happened . . . a token that Koyote had given me for the trip was in a small medicine bag around my neck, and I felt it was very, very hot! I took it out of the bag and it was noticeably hot to the touch and so was my heart chakra . . . as soon as I broke the connection by removing the token I could feel a cool wetness on my skin and the token as they immediately cooled down to an almost cold temp. (Interestingly, this took place approximately where the turn off to Reno, NV is . . . the token is a gaming piece from Circus Circus, Reno . . . Heather Valencia mentioned being lost in the Bardos with EJ.Gold at Circus Circus, Reno, during dreaming circle . . . and I had experienced an astral visit from Koyote the week before where I had seen hotel and fountain lights I thought were Vegas, but the same image was on one side of the token . . . the other side has the initials CC for Circus Circus . . . or Chris Coan?!?) Saturday Night I met with Chris's Dad and girlfriend to discuss how we should proceed in the search . . . I spent a few hours with my youngest son Shaun, on Sunday morning, and then continued my quest. We had received several psychic tips that Chris might be in the Four Corners region . . . this information worked with the last physical tips that his car might have been seen in Eastern Utah, and with concerns about his driving experience in such a vast open spaces around Glen Canyon I wanted to get his name and image out to the locals of these remote areas . . . I had done some pendulum work on the area and was drawn to Kayenta in the heart of Navajo and Hopi Nations of Northern Arizona . . . So I headed south to Arizona, through Lake Powell and into Native lands . . . I stopped at the Kaibeto reservation to post a flyer, and several native boys offered to help me . . . they took flyers to pass among their people and road with me to the council sites deep within their lands . . . they offered to take Chris's flyer to their elders and I gave them ceremonial gifts in return for their assistance . . . I have been fascinated for some time with the Black Mesa region, held sacred by both the Hopi and Navajo, but currently being destroyed by the government for Uranium mining . . . When I passed the road leading to Black Mesa I was drawn strongly to the area, but it was evening and I wanted to make it to Kayenta so I traveled on. I hoped to camp out in Kayenta but there wasn't much there besides a few over priced hotels . . . I ended up on the road to Monument Valley and was drawn to a massive formation in the distance . . . the huge sandstone sculpture just a shadowy figure in the night, and I mediated under stars to determine my next move. I needed to find a better place to camp out, so I headed back up the road and sooner than I expected I was back at the junction to Black Mesa . . . taking this as an omen I decided to check it out. So approximately 10pm Sunday night I am climbing the road to the top of Black Mesa only to find this sacred and holy land cover with security and large scale mining operations . . . I was up there for over an hour and returned with deep concern and sadness for the people of this land, and ultimately for us all . . . I camped that night at the base of Black Mesa, and continued back through Kayenta and on towards New Mexico on Monday morning. Not far from Kayenta is a hole in the wall town called Mexican Waters . . . just a gas station, restaurant and a laundry mat, I went in to post some flyers . . . two native women in the restaurant could not positively identify Chris but retold a suspicious situation they had witnessed a few days earlier . . . A strange man had come in a asked if he could use a credit card, then returned to small beat-up black car crammed with clothes and bags of stuff, and 3-4 undernourished white boys . . . they all ate their meals as if they were starved, and no one talked or laughed . . . the women sensed that the boys were afraid of the man, and he was acting suspiciously . . . one of the boys looked like Chris. We have asked the Tribal police to investigate, and hopefully trace the credit card information . . . it might not be Chris, but hopefully we can help these boys. I was anxious to get word of this situation to the detective in charge of Chris' missing person case, but it was nearly two hours before I could get cell service in New Mexico. I was able to meet with the FBI and New Mexico State police, who have been a great help in following up on these tips . . . I kept driving North East into Durango, CO, and immediately after crossing the state sensed that Chris was not in this area. I had the great pleasure to stay with my tribe friend Lionfire and his wife Mary on Monday night . . . I have admire Lionfire's Shamanic work with the Mayan Temples of Guatemala for some time, and it was a great honor to meet him and break bread in his home . . . Immediately when Mary answered the door I felt as if I had come home to people I have always known, and yet we just met. We worked out an exchange for work on his new ceremonial costume, and I came home with an awesome Shamanic tapestry as part of the trade . . . I spent the morning with Lionfire and Mary and headed back to Cedar City through Eastern Utah. The initial, driving momentum of the trip began to wane on Tuesday after noon as I drove through Badlands off I-70 . . . at once I felt both connected and disconnected from everything . . . I fell into a meditative state while driving, and just before sunset I channeled Chris's presence beside me in the car . . . he emphasized over and over that "it's Ok . . .everything will be OK". This bought me some solace and conclusion to this part of my trip. I got into Cedar City late that night and stayed with Charlisa, an old friend from the Shakespeare Festival . . . we had a great chance to catch up on things and also discovered we have a lot in common, especially regarding Healing Energy and spirituality . . . it was very healing for me to be able to talk with her in depth about the Otherworld. Wednesday morning I was able to reunite and connect with my oldest son Patrick, who was in town on business . . . We drove to Vegas where he caught a plane to Portland that night, but we manage to get some quality time together . . . my body returned to the fire ravaged So. Cal late that night, but my spirit is still roaming the back roads of the south west searching for my lost son . . . For those who have been following Chris's story we have no physical leads . . . he left work, upset, with no money, and no ID . . . he had only been driving for two weeks and is very inexperienced with life . . . Chris had a Traumatic Brain injury when he was seven, which causes attention disorder and ADD; a blow to the head could easily cause amnesia. We don't believe he even knows our phone numbers or would know how to use 411 information. The only physical leads were reported within the 1st two weeks he and were supposed sightings of the vehicle in the Park City, UT area . . . the blazer has not been seen since. There have been numerous remote viewing and psychic tips . . . most involve harsh conditions such as being bond or held in basement, walking in the desert, hungry and thirsty, and a general mental condition of "not in his body', "foggy", disoriented, confused, lost, angry, dark, sad . . . While it is true that Chris is 18 and can legally do what he wants, the circumstance of his disappearance are suspicious, and the spiritual information leads us to believe that if he is alive he may need our help . . . Your continued support of prayers, readings and advice is graciously accepted. Some of the psychic areas of interest are Death Valley (car), Vegas, Reno, Elko and Calienta Nevada, Eureka Nv/Ut, Green river, Ut, Grand Junction Co. (Car), Durango, Co. Northern New Mexico, Northern Arizona . . . logically, he could try to contact his brother in Portland or me in So. Cal Anam Cara, Bonnie

Shamans Prayer

Artistpriestess — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 21:09:09 GMT

He dances the Moon with power and grace Amidst the hills and trees, in His sacred space A dancer moving swiftly between the realms There in the leaves . . . . what do you see? If you honor the Old Ways ~ it may be He Cernnunos The Horned God, Lord of the Animals is portrayed as human or half human with an antler crown. Though he wears a human face his energy and his concerns are non-human. He is protector of animals and it is Cernnunos who is the law-sayer of hunting and harvest. While He is recognized most often through his connection to animals and our own deeply buried, dimly recalled, instinctual animal natures, Cernnunos is also a tree, forest, and vegetation god in his foliate aspect of The Green Man, Guardian of the Green World. His branching antlers symbolize the spreading treetops of the forest as well as his animal nature. As Master of the Sacrificial Hunt, His is the life that is given in service of new life. His wisdom is that the old must pass away to make way for the new. with thanks to LionFire for this powerful image . . . http://people.tribe.net/lionfireshaman/photos/f4008a93-1452-41e3-9f2a-32a3f43649e3

Today my son has been missing 28-day . . . this has been the longest, darkest Moon . . .

Note; this is a similar, but not the actual vehicle . . . Christopher Robyn Coan, 18, has been missing since 9/3/07, and was last seen driving a Red and Silver Chevy Blazer, no plates.

Shifting Gears

Artistpriestess — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 18:21:55 GMT

Monday Morning Update; Chris has not been found yet, and contrary to some of the media leaks, we really to not have any concrete leads . . . it is as if he vanished into thin air . . . Today is the seventh day he has been missing. I do still have a sense of calm, and believe that he is out there somewhere . . . however, even if he is physically OK, I sense that he is emotionally fragile . . . The search and rescue effort were pretty extensive, and will now shift to ferreting out information from friends and searching the town of Cedar City, as well as, the Inter mountain West. I just returned to Riverside, and will refocus my efforts including the creation of a Website for contact information about Chris . . . my cell phone is almost out of minutes, but you can reach me at work during the day (951-827-5044) or at home in the evenings (951-784-0120), or just leave a message on my cell (951-203-8834) and I will get back to you as soon as possible . . . Again, I want to thank everyone for your prayers, readings, thoughts, and impressions . . . Some of the visions and dreams have been very helpful, and I continue to be open to whatever assistance you may want to provide . . . Christopher is an exceptional person, he has great potential, and is his own worse enemy . . . I will never give up on him, or my hopes of reuniting with whether is be in this realm or another . . .

My son Christopher has been missing for three days in the Southern Utah Wilderness . . . I am leaving in the morning to go find him . . . so far all ground and an aerial searches have not turned up anything . . . he could still be in the town of Cedar City, but it is more likely that he is within a 15-25 radius of the city, which arranges from high prairie, rolling hills of scrub pines, and extreme mountains. I you have any psychic abilities, and have any sense of where to search for him, I would greatly appreciate your thoughts and suggestions . . . I am very open to all Symbols, vague impressions and even seemingly negative images . . . also, if you sense that he is no longer in the search area. Christopher Robyn Coan, 18, was last seen leaving from work at 8pm, Monday September 3, 2007 . . . he was upset at the time . . . he has only been driving alone for 2 weeks . . . he had a traumatic Brain injury when he was 7yrs old, and suffers from ADD and short term memory loss when under stress . . .

Out of Body Experience - recreated

Artistpriestess — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 19:43:37 GMT

Well this is interesting, but of course, they are looking for commercial gain . . . Video games?!? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6960612.stm Out-of-body experience recreated out of body experience Near death events have triggered out-of-body experiences Experts have found a way to trigger an out-of-body experience in volunteers. The experiments, described in the Science journal, offer a scientific explanation for a phenomenon experienced by one in 10 people. Two teams used virtual reality goggles to con the brain into thinking the body was located elsewhere. The visual illusion plus the feel of their real bodies being touched made volunteers sense that they had moved outside of their physical bodies. The researchers say their findings could have practical applications, such as helping take video games to the next level of virtuality so the players feel as if they are actually inside the game. Clinically, surgeons might also be able to perform operations on patients thousands of miles away by controlling a robotic virtual self. Teleported For some, out-of-body experiences or OBEs occurs spontaneously, while for others it is linked to dangerous circumstances, a near-death experience, a dream-like state or use of alcohol or drugs. One theory is that it is down to how people perceive their own body - those unhappy or less in touch with their body are more likely to have an OBE. But the two teams, from UCL and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, believe there is a neurological explanation. We feel that our self is located where the eyes are UCL researcher Dr Henrik Ehrsson Their work suggests a disconnection between the brain circuits that process visual and touch sensory information may thus be responsible for some OBEs. In the Swiss experiments, the researchers asked volunteers to stand in front of a camera while wearing video-display goggles. Through these goggles, the volunteer could see a camera view of their own back - a three-dimensional "virtual own body" that appeared to be standing in front of them. When the researchers stroked the back of the volunteer with a pen, the volunteer could see their virtual back being stroked either simultaneously or with a time lag. The volunteers reported that the sensation seemed to be caused by the pen on their virtual back, rather than their real back, making them feel as if the virtual body was their own rather than a hologram. Volunteers Even when the camera was switched to film the back of a mannequin being stroked rather than their own back, the volunteers still reported feeling as if the virtual mannequin body was their own. And when the researchers switched off the goggles, guided the volunteers back a few paces, and then asked them to walk back to where they had been standing, the volunteers overshot the target, returning nearer to the position of their "virtual self". Dr Henrik Ehrsson, who led the UCL research, used a similar set up in his tests and found volunteers had a physiological response - increased skin sweating - when they felt their "virtual self" was being threatened - appearing to be hit with a hammer. Dr Ehrsson said: "This experiment suggests that the first-person visual perspective is critically important for the in-body experience. In other words, we feel that our self is located where the eyes are." Dr Susan Blackmore, psychologist and visiting lecturer at the University of the West of England, said: "This has at last brought OBEs into the lab and tested one of the main theories of how they occur. "Scientists have long suspected that the clue to these extraordinary, and sometimes life-changing, experiences lies in disrupting our normal illusion of being a self behind our eyes, and replacing it with a new viewpoint from above or behind."

A Course on Healing

Artistpriestess — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 06:07:53 GMT

Date & Time: Saturday, October 13, 2007 - Sunday, October 14, 2007 9:00 AM The Tequihua Foundation is sponsoring a unique course on healing, based on techniques from the ancient Toltecs. Koyote, a Master Toltec of the Beehive, will be unveiling an Introductory Course on Healing, transmitting ancient techniques that can be used to enhance and focus personal, professional, earth and solar healing. Some of these techniques include working with archetypes, the Dreaming, and the forces that underlie our reality to create change, as well as, presenting guidelines for the safe and ethical use of healing power. Koyote will also transmit an energy field from the Innermost Light (Aka Dua) to accomplished students. The Teachings include energy work, shamanic healing, and dreamer magic techniques. For those students who already practice a modality of healing, Koyote will guide them to a higher level of ability and effectiveness. This will be proven effective immediately with whatever method, technique or energy they use, as noticeable improvements it will grow within them. This is a serious course designed for serious students. A certificate of completion and permission to use the activated Aka Dua will be granted upon successful completion of the course. Graduated student will be able to apply these techniques as part of their healing practices, and may be invited for further training. Professional healers are encouraged to apply. All are welcome. Space is limited, and it is uncertain whether this course will be offered to the public again in the United States. Up to now, it has only been transmitted by Master to student on a one on one basis. Weekend Intensive Courses can be scheduled for your group at your venue or ours by calling; Ananda Books 5225 Canyon Crest Drive #17 Riverside, CA 92507 951-686-3471 An open Weekend Intensive Course is available to individuals on the weekend of October 13/14th at Cajalco Labyrinth 9076 Cajalco Rd.
