Jylsamynne's Astral Experiences - Part 1

This is a long page (61 pages to print, and you are free to do so if you would like to keep them for further reference however they may NOT be reproduced in any form - they are for your personal reference ONLY!), and any who have had or have wanted substantially informative astral experiences should no doubt find these cases of interest. 

The in-depth conversations were transcribed partially through the use of a pendulum on an alpha-numeric chart, and in some cases, typed while in trance or rather, while I was astral yet still functioning enough here to type out what I was experiencing on a laptop while reclined in a chair during full astral projection.  In other cases, these entities have come to me here in the physical plane (crossed the veil) and it is during those times that I am able to converse with them just as if you and I were sitting together in the garden having tea.  These accounts will also show that life certainly does continue after death, and that astral relationships, though of a different feel, are just as real and fulfilling as those on this plane.  Relationships, binds and emotions stay strong and true and life does indeed go on, as you will see in the more light-hearted conversations below.

On another note:  Long has it been my position in this life to provide comfort to spirits of those recently passed.  Often when people pass away, those who have not had a strong belief system in place before their passing, or who have otherwise held contempt for any idea of an "afterlife," will end up basically lost and confused, not knowing where they are or where they are going, some not even realizing they have indeed passed away.

It is these spirits who often find their way to me for guidance across the threshhold that seperates the body from the ether.

Because the majority of the information below was gained from my personal astral guides (those long-passed, a few recently passed, and among them spiritual masters and family) who have come through to assist me in assisting others into what lies beyond, out of respect I can not give their names, only initials. 

Those on the other side of the veil who have trained and taught and many times comforted me did so by knowing me deeply and with having my own purpose in mind.  I feel each person reading this should seek and get to know personally their own guides and teachers.  Their experiences that way will be much more personal and tailored to fit their own needs.  As a starting point, there is a post in the forums called Anam Cara (or soul-friend) that's worth trying if you have a good deal of peace and quiet.

Many of the lessons and experiences laid out below are deeply personal.  Many speak to me in regard to my own early fears, doubts and worries.  It is true, at one point even I doubted the existence of such things, no matter that I was experiencing them on a daily basis.  Take the time, if you will, to study these recollections as there are many lessons contained here that will not immediately seem obvious.  Some information, as with all transcribed mediumship experiences, may also be inaccurate as there are always unforeseen events that can happen to alter the times things are slotted to occur.  Keeping this in mind, let these recounts then serve as a torch on each individual's own path to exploration and enlightenment...



BEING CALLED HOME - AND BEING ACCEPTED INTO AN ANCIENT CIRCLE

I am growing.  Several times throughout the day on the tenth, I was swept out, rather pulled out, of myself and was being brought to a forested area.  At first I thought I had been jumping into DR's head as I often do, but he had been shut down, guarded, over stresses that have been occurring in our daily life.  I was being taken to somewhere completely separate of either of us, by something else.

Nearing the end of the day, [dragon familiar] finally appeared at my left side - without his spots as it was decidedly not play-time - at the beginning of a path - stretched between a wooded area and a plain of small white flowers, a path made of large white and off-white stones, at the head of which stood a carved wooden post marker.  The path radiated with an internal light and it felt safe.  I knew this was symbolic of a Path of a New Beginning for me.

Around 3 a.m. on the 11th, after clearing the clutter in my head with much tantric energy work, drawing an overload of energy in comparable to drawing directly from a supernova, then a major grounding of this energy, I finally began my journey in earnest.  More flashes of a forested area, cool with mist and fog - the Fog of Protection, a natural defense which lays confusion upon those who would enter without welcome.  Seeing that [dragon familiar] was at my side, I was advised simply to follow the Path to see where it led.  With trepidation, I began the journey which led me deep into a forest.  What significance they have, I do not know, but the flowers on the ground were large white and violet lilies.  Ferns also carpeted the ground beneath the tall frail trees.  These visions came in flashes at first, then became longer in duration.  I began being rushed through the forest, propelled by an unseen force, only seeing the blinding speed at which I was moving, not feeling it except in my heart (sidenote: ah for the wonders of Druid travel!).

Coming to a halt, I looked ahead to see a beacon of light far in the distance - several miles, it would seem.  I did not continue on in this direction, but made a turn to my left and walked a bit further, following an unknown calling, an energy source guiding me into its center.  On journeying a short way, I came upon one, then two, then eight figures, cloaked in white and with all features obscured by shadow.  Not being able to see their faces frightened me slightly, but DR assured me I was safe and I knew I was, it's just a natural reaction for me to be wary of the Unknown, for Paths I have walked before this were indeed dark and dangerous places, skirting the darkest of Evils.  These were the Druids and I knew this, but needed further confirmation for my own mind's sake.  DR recognized what I was describing immediately as the Elders of the Circle of... [private] and asked that I speak to them, which I did.

When I came upon the Elders in the forest, they were simply raising their left arms in unison, draping sleeves hiding their hands, but I knew they were gesturing for me to go in the direction they pointed.  I tried to make out the features of one's face but could not and so I asked, "What am I doing here?"

The one replied with another raising of his arm in this direction, then another almost melodic male voice told me, "Do not be afraid.  You are safe here.  This is your destiny."

The first then put his arm around my shoulder and said gently, "Come, do not be afraid."  His voice and his touch filled me with immediate comfort and seemed almost familiar.

I walked until we reached a pillar of stone, with a wide square base, on it a column carved of a grey stone about five feet tall with relief of ivy wrapped around it. I believe I saw glimpses of the Green Man in the carvings.  The column also had a square top - altar-like.  On the top of the column radiated an orb glowing of white and gold, very much alive in its energy, nearly blinding in its radiance.

DR appeared then, next to the column and facing me, there to witness whatever would become of me.  Short conversation occurred, the verbatim of which I cannot at this time recall.  I stood there a time, curious of my purpose and wild with anticipation as to why I was called here and what I was to become.  "This is a new Path for you, a new beginning," said the Elder who took me close to him.  "This is what is meant for you."  With that, two Druids outfitted me with one of the same white cloaks as they were wearing.  I seem to then remember a ring being drawn out of the orb on the column that I was to wear but were there a rune on this ring I do not know as I can't picture it clearly and have never worked with runes to be able to decipher it. (The rune, I later saw clearer, was MAN.)

What commenced afterward I do not recall now.  The only question I kept asking was, "What is my purpose here?" After that moment, I ceased being able to hear anything around me.  Great powers were being awakened in me, new areas were opened in me and as DR recalls, I was invited into this Circle because I had reached a new level in my strength and experience and am ready to advance, ready for persistent training in this Path and it I am being brought into it now to open up powers, abilities and tools to me that I need at this point in my life.  DR too has opened up a lot for me, helping me advance to this point.  Even today, after discussing this event further, he went in and unlocked three areas of my mind, as well as its center, this work appearing as red areas within my Pentagram tattoo on my chest.  He doesn't know exactly what he unlocked, nor do I at this point, but it will be revealed to me as I need to use them.

I will continue to seek the Elders again when my state of mind is proper for the work, and ask to continue this process, continue to try to discern my purpose in this Circle, who invited me in, and why I am being initiated into this Path.  It takes me by complete surprise that this is being given to me, but I know I am ready - and admittedly impatient to go further.  Come to find out MA has been with me all my life, and it was only now that my eyes were opened to the touch and the voice and the source of the lessons that I have spent my life in.  He was waiting for the right moment, and the timing has never been better.



THE "WHY AM I HERE" QUESTION ANSWERED

MA:

“You will have 2 years of training after which if you learn well, you will be initiated into the Inner Circle of the Circle of [private].  You will be an elder and this is the Path on which you will stay, for it is in your blood and it is in your destiny.  Many things will you learn on this path, and many things you will already have knowledge of, be it from this life or others.  The culmination of all your experiences will carry you high and far as you embark on this journey into the Inner Circle.  This is not new for you, you have just forgotten what you have known, but the time has come for you to return and to be re-awakened to your true calling.  Yes, Atlantis is still there for you – you are the Timekeeper, the Call to Arms, and nothing will change that but you need not concern yourself with that now.  Now – the immediate need is for you in the Circle.  Your brothers and sisters have seen you progress far above and beyond even what I could have imagined in so short a time.  You have impressed me – you are strong, you are natural and you have yet to see your full potential unleashed.

I ask him about a sword that was recently presented to me...

“(About the sword...)  Yes it was.  The sword was made for you and given to you at precisely the right moment in your life, when your need for it was the greatest and your emotions on the situation prompted you to call forth powers you didn’t know you had.  Well, you knew – you just weren’t aware.  Anyhow, the test was to determine the methods you would use in performing a certain magickal act – how well you would focus since that seems to be your greatest weakness at the time, the creativity you would use, your willingness to step forth and take action, and among other things, the level of fear you would have in undertaking a task greater than that which you have previously done. 

"You did beautiful work, my love, do not ever doubt yourself, for fear and doubt breed naught but failure and chaos.  You are very intricate in your working and have a strong mind and will that will take you far within.  You are now of a group mind, which you will begin to notice and feel – the presence of the Druids is strong within you and surrounding you.  We feel what you feel.  We know what you know, and that which is unknown to you, you will come to see as the need or proper time arises.  You will know what we know, and you will use your talents – your great talents for Seeing, for Hearing, for Communicating and channeling energies – to strengthen our unity as you become strengthened in us.  There are many tasks ahead, many lessons to be learned until your true Purpose here will be revealed to you.  Do not fear – you are moving on to great things – great powers will be put upon you and you will learn each one in time, mastering one before you move on to the next.  Welcome to the Clan, M’Lady.  Make yourself at home, and settle in, we have much to accomplish.”



WHAT MUST I LEARN FIRST?

MA:  “You must master the channeling of energy in any given situation, without distraction and without fail.  To do this, you must be able to completely free your mind of all outside influences that would otherwise taint your energy or cause its flow to falter.  This is why you are unable to hold power for any great length of time.  It is why you cannot hold the energy in place and perform the party tricks you so wish to do.

“When you become serious about its practice and at peace enough to meditate your way out of this life, then and only then will you see you have the ability to do these things, to make energy manifest.

“Have DR work with you and tell him to have patience for he is your destiny and you are one and just as he is a natural teacher, you are his most natural student, so be strong in each other, heed his words.  Do not become impatient and do not lose faith, for great things are forthcoming and your support is strong.  Learn to focus and so do it often, every chance you get.  He who is your greatest love will show you the way.  This is the task which I have given him.  Be open and let him teach.”


MY FIRST TIME MEETING SOMEONE VERY CLOSE WITH MY NEW "EYES AND EARS"

As I sat with one of the white-robed ones, he recited to me:

    “With the eyes of a child,
    you watch in wonder at the gifts
    being bestowed upon you.
    A Christmas in the mind,
    Things glitter and shine.
    Heather, Noel, Calliope,
    Nunda, Folying, Jylsamynne…
    No matter the name you go by,
    No matter the Plane on which you ride,
    You are now and will always be
    A most special and gifted child,
    Gifted of the Sight and Mind
    Of a magickal entity with potential great
    And nothing at stake
    But your own Will to learn
    And ability to discern
    Right from wrong in your heart song
    As it sings the praises
    Of Mother Earth
    And of rebirth
    As a new age dawns
    And you find that for which you have yearned.”

                ~DD, who refers pompously to himself as the "Lord of the Pines”

The symbol of Jupiter was drawn before my eyes in white light, as I sat in the Meditation Glade put into DR’s mind by MA as a place for others to go when they needed the serenity of such a place.  Then, how I got there, I have no idea.

I was also presented today with a wood staff, short, topped with an amethyst and gold ring, an eye burned into the center, in connection with another one on the other side; a purple ribbon tied around the bottom about 4 inches from the end, and the bottom painted a dark green.

Says MA about the wand:  “For your sight.  To clarify what you can not see with your mind’s eye.  It will get you started, and after a while you won’t find you need it at all unless you are ill or otherwise unable to put yourself in the proper state of receptivity.  It is only a crutch, for the time being.  Consider it a gift.”

He also hung a heart-shaped ornate talisman around my heart – literally, dressed in gold, silver and rose quartz.  As well, flowers of jasmine – my favorite - scattered about my heart.

+ … A white cross seemingly in the back of my brain, like a sign on a door – actually, looking closer, it is a sign on a door.  It’s a room.  A heavy wood door.  Things inside, can’t see. “Your study,” he says (MA).  Heavy wood table, oil lamp, pen and inkwell, books upon books, large black book – book of shadows.  White cat on table, circling, waiting for me to come and sit.  Green-eyed cat.  Pink nose.  Collar with blue stones.  Taper candles and bell.  Cat’s name is Bellamina.  Smells of… tea, herbs and kindling.



BOLDLY SPEAKING WITH ST, WHO PASSED 10 YEARS PRIOR…

I ask:  “Where can Jesus now be found?”

The Middle Atmic (plane) at rest on the mind’s idol.  One day you will see him.

I ask:  “Explain?”

You will be able to speak to him on the away when you pass.  You will have a choice of away places you want to go to and stay.  You walk alongside him into where you will learn what you are able.  When you pass, you will have a choice as to places to live till you want to move onto somewhere else where you will be able to see other realms, so look forward to it.  The added benefit to this is that you will be able to speak to others that want to know ways to maybe watch before they walk. 

Keep on doing your stone work.  I believe in your power to love and your power to heal lovingly.  You are a wonderful healer to ML and a wonderful friend to us both.  Heather, thank you so much for this.  She is doing well now that she has spent some time with you using you to talk to me and feel me with her.

I ask:  “DR has been asking where he can find his central source of power and how to unlock it.  He is having a problem seeing and hearing on the planes as well.  Can you help with this or offer any advice or knowledge to him as to how he can overcome these things?”

Yes, tell him to look on the light by the castle at the East wall.  Have him look at the bottom.  A dagger is there and will make him Dawn, not Dark.  Keep trying to make him help himself and he will learn on his own, not by watching it but by doing it, when he wants to.  Let the dagger shine onto the blackness, then he will learn to see and I will help show him the way to his tower.  I want to help you with his problem so you can help him help others when they need it.  What would you want to know next?

I ask:  “I want you to know how grateful I am for all your help, and I am happy to help you with ML.  She is a good person and so are you.”

But what can I help you with?  You are so concerned with others needs and not your own.  You need to think of yourself as well as others.

I ask:  “Can you tell me if I have been successful in the work I have done on the planes, as far as finding things there and creating things there, as well as with shields I have put up and other magic work I have done out there?  Do things I ‘think’ I’m doing actually manifest there and stay in place?”

Yes they do.  Not only that but they will be there when you pass.  They won’t go away unless you take them down or take them away.  They are yours to keep only as long as you want to, so don’t doubt yourself.  You will be a strong tide in the current life and in the next, so stay with DR and be loving to each other.  Try to work it out without yelling at each other.  Try to understand each other very deeply and be there when he needs you.  You will have a good wedding at the end of next year, so make plans to get married and wade in waters of love and be castle-bound at the end of August next year. 

Right now you are aware that he loves you but you don’t know why.  You will be together for the rest of your life and afterlife.  Be merry and be well.  Let nothing come between you.  What else do you want to know?

Shyly, I ask:  “A lot.  How do you know these things?  Who or what brought DR and me together and for what purpose?  What makes our love so strong?  What is the plan for us?”

One ‘cause I have seen it, two ‘cause I have the ability to know the day when it will happen.  Now there are both reasons that I know.  You two were brought together to love each other, to practice your mind arts and to learn higher magic.  You were brought together to meet the King at the Black Rain and be Judges at the final fight between heaven and hell.  May your wedding day write a wonderful story.  What else do you want to know?

I ask:  “You know the day it will happen… what day will Daniel and I get married? And what day and year – using our present calendar – will the Black Rain and judgments take place?”

You will marry on August twenty-sixth in the year two-thousand six {Note: this was postponed due to financial issues, but still occurred at the time said}, when the arm is two in one.  Black Rain will begin on April fifth in the year two-thousand and sixty-three.

“How long will the Black Rain last, and who will survive?”

Black Rain will last six years.  The best will live.

“What else will you tell me about this event?  What do I need to know?”

The Black Rain is the establishment of good awesome power versus the blackness that Yahweh dusted the earth with in the beginning.  At the top of the worst wind, when (the) sun is under the sign older than others, they will have to annihilate it prior to the day we are awakened, yet we will have its power if we are able to annihilate the source that waits in the death of the blackness.

“How high is the worst wind, and what sign is older than others?”

The highest wind is three hundred and fifty two miles an hour.  The sign is Taurus.

“What else will you tell me truthfully about this?”

The black rain is now beginning.  Carry the Sword of Babylon to the worlds under the world and erase the writing on the wall.  Each day will mark a new trial.  Help the winged serpent to initiate the war.  Listen to the world dragon draw sword and you will wash the blood from the sword and wash red blood from the angel’s wing.

“Who is to carry the Sword of Babylon to the Wall?”

Time will tell.

“Do the recent violent weather trends have anything to do with the coming events?”

Where are weather tends violent?

“Referring to the growing number of hurricanes over the past several years.”

They are, yes.  Why are you wanting to know?

“Just human curiosity.  Can you tell me what the physical earth plane will experience during these years of the Rain?”

Earth edges toward destruction.  As the black rain gets closer, the earth will experience world destruction and death.  The world will heal itself.  Cut the door soon.  Knock on the door to open it to other words.  To physically pierce the veil would be to physically walk down the world beloved by men.  To pierce the veil, you have to wade through water higher than one day’s stone.  {I still do not understand this!}

“Can you give me a more specific description of what the earth and people will see happening when the Rain begins?”

Earth will have to start over.  The air will heat to three hundred degrees.  The sun will pulse at ten times the norm.  Death will be instant.  Welcome it.  Go.  Each road will lead you to it.  The bona fide Golden Gate will open, for you will not want to keep trying but you will be seen to love DR in the afterlife.  Call him and he will hear you weeping.  He will come to you when you call.  Love will live forever.

“Can you please describe in more detail the way to create an opening or portal to physically move oneself from the physical plane we now reside in, and into another desired plane – and back again - safely and effectively?  This knowledge will not be used until and unless absolutely necessary to do so.”

The Atmic feels that question is right on my way.  Very well, the way to pierce the veil is to - now try to mean that – the way you will get there will matter how you get back home.  Be careful - make absolutely sure this is what you want to do.  The veil is too much for most who try to cross it. 

When you try to pierce the veil, have a picture in your mind of where the veil is to open or split.  When Jesus took his rope back it, was the death of him.  If you get right there by the break, it will take you in on the dark - hold tight to it until the airs inside it stop rushing.  Do not stop lights or stop kings roping you very tight.  The door will close behind you.  Make a way to keep it open.  Love will let you take DR with you when you want to.  The veil is ready to cut when the will is strong and on watery eyes.  The works should do the best when they are from the heart.

The cut is made by willing it open or telling it to open.  The body will not let you take it with you unless you invite it into the plane, because it won’t want to upset the balance.  To pierce the veil, draw a wheel in the air where you want to open it.  Just try to see a circle and go into it.  Keep trying, even when you are burned out.  Pierce the veil when you are aware of how much DR means - vast will doesn’t work on its own - or you won’t be able to bring him with you when you leave.  You will be able to if you want to, only when piercing the veil much like a warrior to no one but him.  Love will let you stay together.

“DR says he wants to be the one to bring me through.  Does the same apply to him?”

Yes to him as well.  Just watch.  Finish your training before you try veil cutting and you will do well.

“Can you tell me what is causing DR to not be able to see or hear on the planes?  And after all the different things we have tried, what is the thing that will fix it?  I ask this because he is reluctant to go find his dagger on the East wall because he can’t see what he’s looking for.”

The trouble he has is with getting his thoughts to cease. Keep trying to encourage him.  Pour out your love.  Help him by best way you can.  Nothing is impossible.  You want so much for him.  Keep trying, adding to his sight.  Tell him to pierce the blackness with a wrought iron will.  He will do it when he can open up to it.  Wet eyes talk volumes.


...Later during a walk with my Guide, WA, I learned that my true position is that of Druid Warrior and Healer, as well as that I am an untrained Energy Healer to the Druids and to the Dead of the Earth.  MA is training me in battle as well as in healing.



SPEAKING TO A DEAR GUIDE ABOUT PERSONAL LIFE

"September was a bad month for you, but you dealt with it very well.  You didn’t give up when things got hard.  You are very strong, honest and sharp."

(I ask:  Are things going to start looking up for us?) 

Yes, you are a strong couple.  You take care of each other without asking for anything in return.  There are many good things ahead for you both.  Take it one day at a time and things will work out. 

You are destined to be with each other.  You truly are his other half otherwise he would not have come all this way for you.  You and DR have a purpose in this world and that is to protect those who cannot protect themselves.  The connection between you goes well beyond the physical plane and the love that two people can have for each other.  You are connected by body, mind and spirit on all the planes, even on the levels that are far beyond your reach yet.  Your spirits have been bound together by forces unseen to ensure that nothing comes between you; for this is a love so strong it can literally heal the world.

You have definitely found your other half and it will be a blessed union when you are married, although in the Mother’s eyes, you are already married for she joined your hands and your hearts some time ago in a ceremony all her own to ensure that you would always be with each other and do the work she has set before you in the name of the Earth.

Know that you are blessed and the Goddess has you in her hands to protect you from anything that would stop you from doing the healing that you were put together for.

(I state:  He has the mark of the Tree of Life on him…) 

You are correct and you are incredibly perceptive to notice that.  He is marked with the Tree of Life because he is a chosen one to heal the earth after the damages done by man have been calculated and man will no longer exist to harm the planet further.  Those who are deemed worthy will exist on the planes until the world has been healed and is able to replenish itself.  After the healing is complete, you will be able to return to Earth and an entire new race of humanity will be born.  You will be stronger and more adaptive to change, for the world will not be as you knew it.  DR is marked to be (a) saviour and renewer, (a) healer and re-creator {but he is not the only one}.  Rest knowing that your presence is no less important than his, for you are the balance that is necessary for these events to occur.  As above, so below; by Goddess and God will a new world be born.



AN EXAMPLE OF REAL BATTLES CURRENTLY FOUGHT

The gateways are open and we have been plagued by demonic interferences for more than a week.  SA opened gateways in the astral and physical planes to travel to the Underworld in an attempt to help over 500 beasts break their pacts with the Dark One.  DR and I were called, with the Circle as well as several of our familiars, to hold back the beasts while SA went into battle with him.  However, she failed to close the gateways and the demons are now being sent after DR and I due to our involvement in the battle.  My pendulums have all been taken over every time I try to speak through them.  Though they have been shielded and DR has destroyed countless minions – I today destroyed my first one – they still keep coming.  MA has now been called to find the gateways SA left open and to seal them.  He says he has found them and is taking them down.  There will still be stragglers, but soon the take-overs should cease for the most part.  They are after her, not us.

Two days pass...

{Dragon familiar} has informed me that they are ready to organize the armies in preparation for the next attack.  They anticipate the next battle to begin in a few days, as they were forewarned by a demon.  They are preparing the side of the grounds near the Circle to take in the injured dragons for healing when they return. 



GUIDED TO HELP MOVE "STUCK" SOULS... MY FIRST DAY AS A TRANSPORTER

My Guide WA Speaks:

    "You will be remembering the times when everything was in your power to love.  To explain what you are now, is to hear the songs of the earth calling out to you desperately to receive help and healing from you.  The world will need you to bring back the peace it once knew.  Light shines though you and all you do is echoed throughout the planes. 

"I am seeing open door calling you to come through it will lead you to a place of seekers who need your help to get them home.  You will need to go through the door with caution.  Do not fear, no harm will come to you but you will see a new plane that will make you uncomfortable.  You have never seen anything like this.  There are demons here as well as light beings.  To go there you need lower yourself to heaven’s dark eve.  Stay within the borders to keep from falling into the true dark.  When you see the ones who need your help they will come to you on their own and you must take them as far as you can go, then show them the way into the light.  They have been waiting for you.  The time to help is now."

I act:

Choosing my Amethyst/white quartz, clear quartz spirit stone and my tiger’s eye to keep me earthed, I called the dragons Niad and Tinera to accompany me on my journey into Heaven’s Eve, a neutral ground between heaven and hell – the grey area.  Literally.  Everything was grey.  WA and [dragon familiar] anchored me just above the physical plane as I and the two dragons called to transport lost souls descended through the planes.  The door, as WA has stated was already opened but nothing was going in or out.  It was clouded with a grey mist and the edges shimmered. 

Niad went in first, which wasn’t the best decision I could have made as the people who needed help weren’t expecting a dragon, they were expecting just me.  I heard the screams and shrieks and saw beings scattering as Tinera and I lowered ourselves through the door and into the Eve. As we descended, Tinera began to glow with a silver light and a halo appeared around my head.  I calmed the people, told them not to be afraid, that I was there to help them get home.

There were about 60 in all, sadly most of them children that appeared between the ages of 2 to 10.  One little girl in particular had a golden retriever with her and the dog was the only thing that showed any color.  Everyone and everything else was in black and white.  Figures of light as well as shadow figures (one of which Thornhawk came down briefly to destroy as it tried to pull me down -- Thornhawk was keeping watch at the door and was there to seal it after we left). 

Those who wanted to be risen to the Light then [were attached to] Tinera and Niad and we began our ascent.  Thornhawk sealed the door behind us and we rose through many, MANY planes until we could go no further.  We had to stop on the Noradic plane which is a sub-plane of sorts of the Monadic plane, above the Buddhic and the Atmic planes.  Our bodies had become no more than dispersed light and energy patterns – we had left our physical appearances behind.  It took a great deal of strength to reach this high of a plane, and two doors had to be cut on the way up (apparently, as DR put it with a tinge of jealousy in his face, I skipped planes – didn’t think about this till later).  Still, being nothing more than basically light molecules at this time, I was able to open the next higher plane (Logoic) and create a stairway of light into the light beaming down from it.  The lost souls made their way home, and as they rose up the stairs, they became clothed in glowing white robes – except for the dog) and easily made it into the light.  The stairs rose into the light and the door sealed itself. 

Thornhawk, Tinera, Niad and I all then made our way down back into the astral planes and stopped on my grounds to regain our strength.  One single Druid was there by the fountain and offered me a goblet of wine which I took eagerly.  [Dragon familiar] and I then spoke for a short time and I thanked everyone else for all their help. 

On the higher planes, the scenery was truly like nothing I had ever seen before.  It was all light, different pastel shades of beings, rainbow fishes jumping through clouds, blue and pink swirls of sky, trails of light and mist – my mind was in sheer ecstasy in whatever area I was in just before reaching the Monadic plane.  This was somewhere on the Buddhic plane.  My mind expanded, my body began to disperse and everything became pure thought and sensation.  Colors could be felt, sounds could be tasted.  A cool mist surrounded and permeated me as I ascended. 

Experiencing these higher planes for the first time was nothing short of euphoric but it was also very draining of energy in the sheer strength that it took to get to those heights. 



MA RECALLS THE FIRST TRANSPORT, AND GIVES ME A TOOL TO HELP ME FOCUS

MA Speaks:  Hello Wise One, are you feeling better since your trip?

“I feel fine, why do you call me that?”

MA:  Because you deserve the title.  You were a great help to those people and you knew exactly how to handle it, your first time transversing the higher planes.  You are extremely powerful, much more so than you realize.  You will be called on to do much greater things now that you have proven yourself in this task.  Be prepared to learn even higher magics very soon.  You are a strong one and there is much need for you here and on the other planes.  We will get together soon to begin a new phase of learning in which you will take all that you have learned and apply it to a new magic realm.  I will also see to it that your energy work is amplified.  Keep practicing and I will see you tonight.

LATER... A portal was opened which I entered and met MA on the other side.  The portal led to a place on the Atmic plane which MA had created as a center of magnification for the transference of energy.  To amplify and focus the energies, a mirror was placed in the sector.  The “target,” for lack of a better term, is visualized in the mirror.  Energy transferred into the mirror collects and is magnified until it is released, basically blasting through the planes to its intention.  This was created to help me magnify and focus the energies I am using both in battle and in healing. 



MY GUIDE WA SUPPORTS MY WORK AND TEACHES ME A CANDLE EXERCISE

WA Speaks:  To begin, you are quite a surprising student to MA.  He chose you to be a part of the Circle both because of your love for his warrior DR and because of your work with the earth healing.  Little did he know what a divine source of power you would be with your skills in communication and in energy work.  You are very near becoming an Energy Master and your continued practice will ensure this within the next six months.  With your continued studies of the Druidic histories and mystical teachings, you will officially be made an Elder of the circle within two years.  To do so sooner would take great dedication on your part, and more time than you have available at this point in your life.  When you have completed your training with MA, you will be inducted into the Circle of Elders in a beautiful ceremony lasting many days.  During this time, you will be given the Elders’ ring and robe which bears the symbol of the Tree of Life and your Raven atop a gold crest.  Druidic ceremony is a truly beautiful sight to behold and you will now be a part of it for the rest of your life and in the after.  DR as well, for you are one. 

(I ask:  And what of my problem focusing energy?) 

WA:  You need to practice without becoming frustrated.  You have it in you to do these things, but first you must train your mind to obey your will before you can have a physical effect on the physical plane.  It should not take years for you to learn this, so do not give up.  Keep trying to focus and it will come to you.  The best way for you to master your focus is to begin with the candle flame.  Begin by willing the flame into bending from side to side.  Eventually increase your energy into making the flame grow and swell.  After you have achieved this, call upon the elements of earth, wind and water to try to dowse the flame. 



I SPEAK WITH MY GUIDE WA CANDIDLY ABOUT OUR IMPENDING PERMANENT RELOCATION TO IRELAND

WA Speaks:  Well first, I know how much this would mean to you both.  The prospect of moving out of the country is a big step in your relationship.  It is something that you should talk with each other in depth about and study together when you have the chance.  You are a strong couple, but that would require a lifetime commitment on both your parts.  Let the notion settle for a few days and talk about it again when you have some time alone.  Walk in peace, knowing that his love for you will not falter.  You are everything to him. 

I ask:  “Is it something our relationship could handle?”

WA:  You could handle the move together, I have no doubt.  The relationship by then would be even stronger than it is now.  You will have many more years of foundation behind you and that will make it easier. 

“Why has the call to go there been so strong for so long?”

WA:  The call is so strong because you both know in your hearts that Ireland is where your souls call home.  You have both been there before and are now feeling the pull to bring yourselves home. 

“What about work and finances, would we find success?”

WA:  For work, I can tell you that you would both want to be in a park or historical setting.  Work would not be difficult to find if you moved somewhere along the coast, for there are a few places you would do well in.  The country has a solid health care system and you would not be left to fend for yourselves.

“Do you actually see us doing this?” 

WA:  Yes, I do.  Within ten to twelve years, you will have the means to move to Ireland.  It only remains for you to make the decision together.  The move is within your grasp if you want it enough.  Desire and emotion are powerful forces which together strengthen each other, especially when two people want the same thing.  You can do this, and it will happen, I know it.

“What all do we need to consider when discussing seriously doing this?”

WA:  First your daughter and how it will affect all of you.  DR loves her as well and is growing quite attached to her.  You are already missing much of her life and I know it pains you greatly that you cannot fully provide for her but you know she is cared for and that helps.  You and DR must also consider your families and how they will react.  His will not be so willing to let him go as yours will but they know they cannot stop him. 

WA:  The next thing to consider is your financial situation.  It will not be difficult to find work there once you have your citizenship but you want to have enough money set aside to live for at least six months and that means at least $x.00 apiece.  The cost of living is not so much there as it is here but it is different in what you need to make a good living.  You will also need to be able to afford a small hotel until you find a flat to rent and this will be for about a month.  If in the next two years you can purchase a house together, that will go a long way in helping you with the money you will need to get home.  Those are the main things to consider when making plans to move there.

“How do you see us fitting in socially, and how hard will the homesickness hit us?”

WA:  You will do just fine socially, for it is not a community of people that will shut you out.  Ireland is not like America in that you will not find the same prejudices.  The main problems there are between the governments and the religious leaders.  This should not affect you greatly so long as you do not make a great scene about what you are.  You will find a large Pagan community that will welcome you once they know you are trustworthy and then you will feel like you are home. 

WA:  Homesickness will affect both of you but it will be hardest for you because you have only known one home your entire life.  DR will have to be patient and understanding with you as you cry.  He will need to understand that it is a psychological aspect and that you do not regret your decision to move.  You will wonder if you are doing the right thing when the time comes, but know that you have made the right decision because it is where you heart has been wanting to take you since you were very young.  The move will change your life forever but you will do fine once you adjust and realize that you are home.

“Do you see the place where we will live?”

WA:  Where you will most likely live is a very small flat near a fishing community.  It has no air conditioning but it does have heat.  The place is charming and you will be near both forest and sea.  You will have many friends over sitting and talking.  They will help you with many things you will need. 

“What other advice or knowledge do you have of this decision to move across the Atlantic?”

WA:  Take your time in getting together everything you will need to do this.  It will take some time as you know to be able to go there permanently but once you are able you will both be very eager to be on your way. 

WA:  Do not let your nerves get the best of you, for you know DR wants this and you know he will take care of you, as will I.  MA as well has great love for you and we will not let any harm come to you.  We are watching over you and always walk with you.  You are a great asset to the Druids and they protect you as well, even when you do not realize they are with you.  Their magics surround you constantly.  You are family to them and they will protect you with their lives.  Have faith that this will happen for you and that nothing will stop you from getting home to Ireland.

“Some would probably call this idea preposterous.  Is it?”

WA:  Not at all.  There will be many who will not understand but it is a decision that you have made together and it is your heart to follow. 

“What is the most difficult thing we will face when deciding on and moving to Ireland?”

WA:  You will be a bit lost at first, both in leaving your daughter and in the land itself.  You will be able to see her again though, so don’t fear leaving her forever because you won’t.  You will always play a major role in her life, especially in her development as a woman and in the development of her powers.  She will not forget all that she has learned with you.  I believe you should find your way about the land just fine once you have been there a few months.  It will take some time to get used to but you will help each other and will see everything as an adventure.

“Wallace, is this the right thing for us to do?”

WA:  Yes love, it is the calling for both of you.



RETURNING TO THE BATTLE

I ask:  “MA, I know we were all supposed to meet with the dragons on the Atmic to organize, then you wanted to take me off somewhere, but all I remember is meeting you at the gateway, walking into your arms, and holding my hand out for DR as he approached.  After that I remember nothing.  What happened?”

MA:  Good morning love.  Yes, we met with the troops and created our battle plan.  We will be sending but two of our armies of 300 each into the valley first to accept the influx of demons.  They will be coming at about 80%.  When they stop coming, you will let [dragon familiar] know and we will send in the rest of our best warriors, totaling 60 armies of 200 each.  (This is 12,600 warriors – many have come from other planes and places to help us and will be returning home when the battle is done.  About 4000 will still remain with us.)  The lesser beasts who wish to assist, including the gargoyles, will stand beyond the battlefield guarding the mages and wizards.  [Dragon familiar] has set a place for the injured on your grounds and will be assisted by six others in taking in the injured, if there be any, for this battle will be short-lived.  Once their armies have all arrived, I will go down to seal their door and place a protection so no more may enter.  You will know how to hide yourself and you will need to stay until the last dragon is home.  I love you and I will see you soon.

THE NEXT DAY...

I call:  “M…” 

MA:  Good morning dear, how are you feeling?

“I’m feeling fine, but a little worried about DR seeing people he knows turn to demons in front of him.  That’s all he remembers”

MA:  That was just an illusionary trick they like to play to be able to get close to someone and then attack.  He’s not going to hurt someone he loves, so they appear as people familiar to him but they can’t hold the illusion forever.  When they are close enough to strike, they let down the illusion and show their true forms.  It’s a mind trick, one of the few they have mastered. 

“Are ALL the gates CLOSED?”

MA:  Yes love, they were closed as soon as the last army arrived, I made sure of it.  There should not be any left here.

“Fill me in – I remember casting lightning to mark areas where new armies of demons were coming from – did Ianana teach me that?”

MA:  You came up with that all on your own, my love.  No one taught you that.  You were not satisfied in sitting by yourself so you made your mark without being seen which was very impressive.  When you thought to do that, you told [dragon familiar] and he let the troops know to watch for it.  When you cast the lightning, you managed to kill many demons before they reached us which was a great help.  Where you learned to do that I do not know but I did not teach you.  It is a natural ability.  This is why I chose you as a student and to walk with myself and the Circle.



4 DAYS LATER - A SURPRISE ATTACK - THE DRUID TEMPLE IS BURNED AND HEALED AGAIN

MA:  Good morning, Love.  Rise to dry your tears, for the Temple is healed.  The Right Hand is jealous of our powers and puts us at a disadvantage so that he may appear stronger.  The servants want what we possess but they go about it in the wrong way.  We will prevail love, nothing will take the Circle from us.  DR was helping to heal the ground so that I could wake the trees from their fire sleep.  He did what I needed him to do.  You were distraught but you helped bring the cleansing dew back to the grounds.

“I remember it sparkling.”

MA:  Try to remember the process that you used to bring the rains.  With your love and the love of the Brotherhood, my heart has been healed from this dog-like attack on the Temple.  Now we shall set guards of dragons green at the Temple grounds.  The chameleon will be the first to guard.



THE MOST SPECIAL EVENT: BECOMING ELDER OF THE CIRCLE

A touch on the shoulder and a hand on the head… and so speaks MA:

The right day has come to start anew.  Now hear the commands of the Circle of [private] as spoken by MA of Wales: 

"We are here to help call the Nomads together and release the precious Druids from harm’s way. 

We are here to call forth the Sons of Old to write the heartbeat of the earth into verse. 

We are here to call upon the Priests in waiting so that they may stand before us linked mind to mind and practice their arts like Deities suggest they do. 

We are here to call upon the Witches who watch us by moonlight and share in our goodwill toward the earth. 

We are here to call upon the Monks caught drying their tears.  We pray they will find the peace promised to them by Brigid when the vows were taken by the name of God. 

We are here to call upon the Mother to defend us in coming battles.  We will not fight alone, we will stand together strong as the thunderous hooves of twenty-thousand horses running wild across the plains. 

We are here to call the next children who will serve as deep-rooted trees, doing what their calling dictates, every child special and necessary to the continuation of the Race. 

We are here to call upon Bringers of Light so that we may see our true destiny as written by our birthright to take part in the turning of the Wheel of Life.

We are here to call upon the Brothers and Sisters of the Clan to raise energy into the heavens, so that its blessings may return to us three-fold.

In Diana’s name, we bid thee Great Mother come to us and fill us with your power and strength that we may serve you well and ever be true to our word in which we promise to use our gifts and talents for the greater good, letting no harm come to others from our work, but allowing your healing light to shine through each and every one of us as we bless and heal others along our ways."

"Welcome now our new sister Jylsamynne, who comes to us by the grace of God to stand as Elder within the Circle of [private] and to stand by her husband DR to fight, protect and teach the ways of the Wise to those worthy of the knowledge of that which they seek.  Welcome Elder Jylsamynne.  Take this ring upon your finger and this wreath upon your brow as you step forward into the Circle, now as One. 

"We lay at your feet now the Dragon Scrolls to keep and protect as you do the dragons and all their races.  Look to the skies and see your works unfold, for you are chosen to walk the path of the earth and stars.  Destiny has brought you here to do great things and we will stand with you through every step and turn, that no works may fail, that no deeds may falter.  The Mother has blessed us with you and you with Her gifts.  Be here now in this sacred act.  We welcome you and wish you well."

MA:  “Heather.”

I answer:  “Yes, M...”

MA:  “Welcome to the Circle.  I am happy you accepted the invitation and the challenge.  I am deeply thankful that you have come to us, for your power is great and your spirit is pure.  You have faced many trials and have not backed down.  The warrior is alive within you and the heart of a healer beats strong.  You are a powerful combination and we appreciate you greatly.  We want you to walk with us eternally and never doubt the powers within your grasp.  You are a wonderful woman and I am honored to have you by my side.  The Circle agrees.  You are the one we have been waiting for.”

I say:  “I’m just… honored.”

MA:  “As are we, Child.  My instinct tells me you will accomplish much.”



I LEARN OF MY LINEAGE AND IMMEDIATELY BOND WITH MY NEW-FOUND KIN

LINEAGE:

There’s no other way to put it but straightforward…

DD is my brother – not only by clan, but by blood.

DD is DR’s brother – by blood.

Just as MA oversaw (and as I now learn – created) the conception and birth of AP and then took him as his own – MA also created the conception and birth of DA (generations ago), DR, myself… we are – literally – MA’s offspring.  MA wanted us to be born into this life, he chose our parents, planted his seed, fathered us through our earthly fathers… we are his actual children.  All this time I have been calling DD my brother not knowing it was actually true. 

This is where DR gets his heirship.  This is why DD took me under his care while our father was possessed.  I am their sister.  Things just keep getting stranger.

Later that day, speaking with DD…

I ask:  “I’m almost afraid to ask if we have any more brothers or sisters within the clan, fathered in the same way that we were.”

DD:  “You do, but not within the Eight.  Good thing you asked that because one of them has been asking about you.  It is distant, but his name is RW..., short for....  He is a son of MA from two-hundred years ago.  [His blood] is half-elf, as am I.  Teach him to communicate with you and he will give you a world of knowledge to use with your Path here.  He is White Witch who chose also the Druid Path.  He does not use his Elven magics unless it happens accidentally.  He was at your initiation and recognized you from earlier travels.  When he saw you, he said he wanted to help you with your energy work, but now he wants to befriend you as well.  He was not aware he was your brother until MA told him yesterday.  When he learned of that, he begged me to put you in contact with him.”

DD shows RW the chart so that he may speak with me…

RW:  “I am here my new found sister.  I am so happy to meet you.”

I say:  And you’re doing very well on the pendulum, I might add.

RW:  “Thank you, dear.  When I learned that I was your brother, MA had to pick me up from the floor.”

I say:  When I learned that MA had fathered me, I think I forgot how to breathe for a moment.

RW:  “It is quite a shock, is it not?  When I first saw you walking into the Temple with MA, we were sitting down on the ground just talking amongst ourselves and suddenly I found myself enraptured by this beautiful new face who I saw from a distance and felt the energy of the sun coming from you.  I learned that you were in training with him and that you would become Elder and my jealousy raged but now I understand why.  DD told me who you are.  I knew there was something about you but I did not know what.  Now in seeing your work, I understand why you were chosen.  We can be a powerful force if you would like to work on increasing your strength with me.  We can work together then and I can help you gain the strength you seek, if it pleases MA, that is.”

MA gives his blessing.

RW:  “Under the stars shall we meet, and there we shall begin our work.  When you meet with me, please remember this is only practice, not actual healing.”

I ask:  Is there anything I can do in return while you are helping me?

RW:  “There is nothing I ask for in return except for your friendship.”

RW, you’re my brother, you’ve got me for life.

RW:  “That is so kind of you. DD is crying again, the silly mutt.”

You’re a mutt too!

RW:  “Yes, but not so damned emotional as that!  He must have gotten an extra sissy gene in the mix.”

Hehe.  That’s horrible.  We’ve been back and forth taunting each other with compliments all morning.  It’s fun.

RW:  “You two are two of a kind, I swear.  I can see where you two are related.”

Give me time, I’ll find some way to have fun with you too when it’s play time.

RW:  “I am sure you will, but you have to find the secret door first before you can open me up.”



ON A LIGHTER NOTE - SOME FAVOURITE RECIPES DICTATED BY MY PASSED BROTHER

DD tells me some of his favorite simple recipes…

DD:  "Witches Stew: Oats, barley and beans with venison and spices."

DD:  "Elven Stew: Water, potatoes, onions, deer meat, mushrooms and hot pepper.  Lore has it that this stew will elevate you to the higher planes, but I do not think you want to use those kinds of mushrooms.  The stew is cooked over a small flame for many hours until it is bound together.  It will make you warm inside.  Never use pig meat in it, it has too much fat to make it come out right."

DD:  "My very strong Mead is made by keeping honey in vodka until it changes to black.  Then water is added with the hops and it is strained every day for a week twice through a cloth.  When the week is over, it is strained again and put into wood barrels for another month.  Then, the barrels are pierced and the elves are happy."

(Ugh!)



I FIND A LONG LOST SOURCE OF POWER

According to JU, a man I met on the planes and now travels with me and sometimes DD, I found my Tower!  They say it is in a water world in the Mid-Astral on a sub-plane called “Hope.”  According to JU, I entered the water and came out some time later in a different spot, bearing a large ruby – my power-stone – and a large grin.  The ruby was placed back in the tower.  DR had told me many months ago that he saw I had an underwater tower, I finally found it.
