MY BROTHER DD SPEAKS ON THE FOUNDATION OF DRUID MAGICS
"The first thing you need to know is do not take this lightly. The magic begins with the trees and ends with the trees. If the magic is in harmony, so will the trees be in harmony and you can feel this from them if you are truly Druid. If the magic is harmful, then this will be reflected in the health and the energies of the trees. Druid magics are based on the knowledge of the trees and of the earth itself.
"In the earth rests a spirit whose name is {only written in my private books -- it is not yet to be known, this private address}. This spirit is the culmination of all things good and bad that man has afflicted upon the earth. If the spirit becomes too tightly bound by the evils being done to it, it is said it will open up the earth and let go all of the evils that it has collected at once, bringing death to itself and all who live here. If the spirit takes in enough good deeds to balance the evil, then we will continue on as we are. But if the spirit is able to fill up with good deeds, it will open up and bestow blessings upon all those who have done well by her name.
"There is another belief that the trees contain a source of magic on their own which as a Druid you can learn by opening yourself to them and letting them invoke their knowledge into you. The trees do not speak in words, but in energies and emotions and if you listen to them long enough, they will impart entire stories to you in a matter of seconds. The trees will sometimes allow you to call upon them for healing or other energies if they have enough to give. If not, then you can call upon the spirit of trees of all the earth and receive the energy of those who are willing to help for your purpose or need. The trees are very generous if you thank them properly and always hold them in respect in your life and works.
"To access the magics of the trees, you must first spend time becoming one with their spirit. When you can feel what they are giving of themselves to you, then communication will happen naturally. When you have achieved a connection with the Great Tree Spirit, you will find it effortless to draw their energy into you. Drawing from the trees over time will eventually fill you with the knowledge of their magics, little by little, for their magic is contained within their energy flow.
"The energy of the earth, unlike the energy of the trees, carries the energy of all the elements because they are all contained within her: the fiery core, the dry desert, the waters of the seas and the air of the breath of life – all are carried and moved by the great spirit of the earth. When the lines of these energies meet up, they bring the magic of their combined elements into existence. Where they meet, they create a center of power which can be drawn on as long as the energy is flowing unpolluted or undamaged.
"When a temple is placed on the plane directly above a nexus, the members of that group mind are always connected to that flow of power. It is better to think of these energy lines more as waves or currents because they do fluctuate depending on the health of a particular area. It is like the chakra system of the earth. The energy currents are contained within the earth and are reflected onto each higher plane. Everything on the earth has an astral double, just like everything done on a higher plane is filtered back down to the physical. As above, so below. You will rarely if ever see a physical manifestation of something done on the planes, but the energies that are created during a planes working do affect change in the physical."
THE HIGH MAGIC OF THE DRUIDS (As told by DD)
"High magic involves elevating one’s consciousness to the Astral and on up to the Atmic planes. The basis of high magic is under the doorway to these planes. High magic is brought through these doorways and manifested in prayer and the raising of energy. The trick is performing it with a pure heart so as not to tie up negative energies into the stream of energy being called and released into the universe. When working with these universal energies, it is important to remember in the end it is all reflected back onto you. One negative act, even if by mistake, can magnify into disaster if left unfixed. The natural way of things dictates that everything be in balance. When it is not, we work the high magics to correct the imbalances. In doing so, we are imposing our will on the universe but it has the ability to accept or reject it. If what we ask is beneficial to many and harms none, it will be done. If it will in any way harm someone or something, then we must find another way to do it.
"Druid magic is very closely related to Wiccan magic in its principles but the difference is in our focus. In Wicca, much work is done for the betterment of the self whereas in our magic, we concern ourselves with the earth herself and in doing so, we receive her protection, knowledge and blessings without having to ask."
CIRCLE HEALING RITUAL (As told by DD)
Making a star in the air with your receptive hand, recite these words: “In the name of the great earth spirit, I summon you Gaia to hear my prayer. There are many who will not hear. There are many who will not see. There are many who will not realize the damage they do to you and do to your children. Hear my calling unto you now to ever let the children of your earthen womb be spared and protected from the evils that have come upon them. Let there be healing where it is needed most and let those blind to you open their eyes and their hearts, for yours is the gift of life. I ask you now to open up my heart as well to those who would seek your compassion and knowledge that they may see the true beauty and light within you. Mother Earth, take this gift and multiply it by your magic that you may prosper even in times of war. I am your child and this I pray. As I will, so mote it be.”
White robes are worn during this prayer which is offered up at the full moon or when someone is in need.
SPEAKING WITH THE STARS (As told by DD)
The night is a great source of power in itself, for it is there that we can work unseen by those who doubt us. It is also a great comfort as its dark soul brings rest to the worries of the mind. The night also brings us the stars, from which many great things can manifest. If a star should tell you to come to it, heed its call, for it may have either a message or a gift for you. Close your eyes and draw the star down slowly into your being. Become enveloped in its light and let it consume you. Gently release your hold on your body and let yourself be drawn back up into the star. If you start to feel overwhelmed, release some of the energy, but talk to the star and it will tell its stories to anyone brave enough to venture so close.
You can also walk amongst the stars by casting a tunnel into the sky and letting it wind through random places. Give the tunnel free will and it will lead you where you need to go. Draw from the energy of the Circle, for the more energy put into casting the tunnel, the further it will take you.
DRUID MAGICS (Further Explained by MA) -- SPEAKING WITH THE TREES
To better explain the Druid magics, we must first look to the trees, for it is within them that the secret of life is held. Some time when you can, go sit with a tree and just feel its energies. You will learn more from the impressions they give you than you ever will from a book. To experience the magic within the energy is to know it deep within your soul, better than any words can ever explain. The history of the earth is contained within each and every tree. Listen to them and feel what they have endured. Learn that time and patience is what gives them their longevity. Their magic involves using the pure force of life itself to heal and reproduce. They do not call upon men to care for them, nor should we call upon them unless the need is great and life is in danger. They do listen. They respond only if the seeker is honest in their intentions. When turning to a tree for knowledge, remember to always leave an offering of thanks. You will learn more from them if they are treated with the respect they deserve.
PORTAL OF AIR AND SPIRIT (As taught by DD)
Draw the Air symbol (triangle) in the air where you want the portal to be. Invoke Spirit with the words: “Spirit of Air, I now invoke thee. Bring home any who would gaze at thee.” Then, when someone sees the window, the Spirit in the triangle will come to them and transport them back where they came from. Makes for a great little trap as well. It will stay up indefinitely unless you take it down yourself.
SLED PORTAL (As taught by DD)
A new one I came up with. I made it to get out of somewhere fast. What I did was use an ice tunnel hidden by a window of a layer of Spirit. I commanded Ice to take me home when Spirit was pierced, then when things got hairy, I stepped into the window and off I went.
DOORWAY TO EGYPT (As taught by DD)
I made this one several times. I used Spirit to create a layer of protection around myself. Then I laid a doorway in the ground. For the door I made a cut in the plane on the ground where I wanted to leave. I said, “I invoke thee, Mother Isis. Guard and guide me to your home. Bring me to Egypt when the door is opened, and bring me home again.” You will want to use a protection of Spirit because you may meet some bad things along the way. Egypt is a power center and many still use it for incredibly negative workings, so you never know who you will meet going in or out.
TRANSLATING MY RECENT VISIONS OF BLESSINGS (As Discussed With MA)
MA: The horses are a sign of blessings to come. Seek within not for what you want but for what you need. I have better things in mind for you. You and DR will be fine, I am taking care of you. I am giving you help in your life by opening up others to your needs. Very few good Pendragons in this world. I am sitting with one now – her name is Heather. When DR uses his strength within, do not doubt his power; use yours with his and see the magic you can create. I am going to help you with gardens of gold, not just for yourselves, but for those you love who need it as well. Trust in me love, I will not fail you after all you have done for me.
WINDOW OF DREAMS (As Told By DD)
It is a plane on which everyone’s dreams call forth into being their images and symbols. Whoever can make it there can see the dreams as they occur and sometimes enter one and be a part of it.
FURTHER VISIONS EXPLAINED BY MA AND DD: FLEUR-DE-LIS VISIONS / GOLD ANGEL
DD: The Triple Crown… it is known as a symbol of royalty in France and other northern European countries. It does not always look like a flower but sometimes a crown, which is why it was chosen to represent… (have someone trying to break into the conversation on the pendulum… DD takes off to kill it.)
MA: Yes dear, I am here, I will continue while your brother kills this prankster. The Fleur-De-Lis has been appearing to you because you are about to be given a new position on the planes.
I ask: Will I still remain Elder?
MA: Yes, heavens yes, we need you, but this is not related to the Circle. My love, you are a living angel, an escort into the heavens for those who have become lost in their travels. In your work with the souls, you have journeyed to hell, to the Summerlands and nearly to Heaven, higher and farther than any dead person has gone on their own, much less any living person. In your work, you did not fail and you were not afraid, therefore the High Angels want you to continue to work with them in guiding lost souls home.
MA: Yesterday, I showed you a set of wings in a double vision. The first part was to show you that you are as a Phoenix that will be rising from the fires. This was part of my promise to help provide for you on the physical plane. The wings then turned to gold as you rose, symbolizing the wings you wear as an angel.
MA: I am surprised you did not see this coming after seeing your halo appear when you took the dragons down to Heaven’s Eve. That was the job of an angel, my love, not of a mere mortal. In your work with the souls, you are compassionate and kind and they talk well of you when they are home. The High Angels miss nothing and they want to give you this position because you earned it. Your wings are gold, love. You wear them well, they are very becoming.
I ask: Why gold?
MA: Because you are able to travel with the High Angels to Heaven’s Gate. No mortal can normally do this without being near death. In time, you will come to a better understanding of this as the time comes to judge the Final Battle. In the meantime, continue your work and congratulations, I have never had a gold angel in the Circle.
I ask: MA – Exodus 20:3 says – “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” How is it then that I am beckoned to work among the High Angels, as an angel, that I am welcomed at Heaven’s Gates and trusted with Heaven-bound souls, while still calling upon the Mother Goddess and other deities along my Paths?
MA: That is a very deep question requiring a very extensive answer. To begin with, you are commissioned to work as an angel among the High Angels because you are truly a good person who has proven trustworthy in your work as well as very intelligent in planes-walking and safe in your travels but I sincerely hope you do not leave the Circle to do only this.
MA: You have also been granted forgiveness by God for he is aware of your knowledge and your purpose to the extent of admitting to the existence of the other deities to you, only because the truth cannot be hidden from you as it can from others. God, as most know of him, is composed of many aspects, mostly hidden from the uninformed, those who truly need to be led blindly through their life. Those such as yourself whose talents and knowledge have been opened up are no longer blinded to all that truly exists. You have been granted visions and ears to hear the truths you will need when the Final Battle occurs, for you are among the chosen to ascend to Heaven and judge some of the demons as they fall and rise again.
MA: The other reason you were chosen is that you are so much more than human. I am ecstatic to see that my only daughter has risen to such heights in her knowledge and wisdom of the Arts that are hidden from most. In learning the Arts, you are granted the ability to communicate with the deities. The true Mother resides within you and through her you are able to communicate with all the gods and goddesses, giving you the ability to walk with them and also obtain their knowledge when they deem so.
MA: When you are ready, I will take you on a walk with the Spirit of the Green Hunter, for he has much to share with you. He is willing to extend your knowledge of the Earth and her rhythms so that you may better help us in seeing where healing is needed most, for you have the vision and the ability to feel her vibrations closely and communicate with her, whereas most of us can only do what we can to help. We brought you here for this reason, and so that you could be with your rightful family; we did not think you would be so much more. My dear, DD is begging to speak with you again, if you will. Carry on…
DD can wait. I ask: Merlin, why is all this “status” being bestowed upon me all of a sudden – initiation into the Circle, Dragon Master, Gold Angel… ??
MA: Look inside yourself for the answer to that question love.
MA: Heather, hope is the answer and you finally have it within you to claim what is rightfully yours. Look inside and see your true form, your true age. There you will find the key to all that you are.
MA: When I helped create you, I gave within my seed the keys to unlock the mysteries of the earth and stars. Your ancient spirit brought the rest of you into being – angel and dragon master, guardian and seer – those did not come from me, rather you held rightful claim to them. Another part of you belongs to Atlantis and again, this is not something that I have given to you, rather it has followed you down through each incarnation into the beauty that you are today.
MA: I gave you status in the Circle because you are my kin and because the studies of your life have led you to this path. This is not something I ever interfered in or tried to point you to, rather when I did see you going off course into the darker magics, I only pulled you back to save you from a certain death had you followed that route. I never told you where to go or influenced your decisions. You made it here on your own because you are so much a part of me, this is where you were drawn and who would I be if I hadn’t welcomed you in with open arms once you found your way home?
MA: Do not ever feel that your work in all your aspects is too much to handle, for you have others you can call upon for help, as you have done, when you need guidance or reinforcements. You are not alone, my love. If you ever doubt the validity of your positions, keep in mind that you have seen the work you have done firsthand.
MA: Remember the talents you possessed as a child and see how you are using them now.
Remember flying with the birds when you were eight years old.
Remember the pull to the sea before you could even walk.
Remember the dancing of the fire and the Shaman’s touch when you were nine years old.
Remember your open channels when you were sixteen and the people you helped with your sight.
Remember the way you ran to the pines for comfort and knowledge. Your brother DD was strong in you then, but you had yet to know him. He already knew and loved you though, which is why he ran to your aid when I hurt you.
Remember your time with the horses at the ranch and the suffering you endured to be near them. Your spirit still runs free with your golden-haired pony and the spirit of the horse is still within you.
MA: My child, all these gifts have always been yours, you only needed the experience to reclaim them. I know your head is still hurting from too much wine. You and your brother should be more careful next time. He needs to remember that you do not take wine and ale well. Rest for a while and I will see what I can do for your heads, silly children.
DD?
DD: He is laughing at us, how cruel.
YET ANOTHER BATTLE RAGES AND I AM PUT INTO PROTECTION
I ask: Merlin… is Drynnh really a guardian to me? We’re the same age.
MA: Yes, he is, and I will be putting you in his care while I am taking care of things. DR will have to accept this no matter how they feel for each other because I will need his help as well in holding up the shields while these ingrates are brought to justice. DD is more than capable of keeping you safely hidden while these demons are called out and he can help you heal emotionally from the stress this has been putting you through.
MA: I will make sure he knows his place but I have seen the connection between you and it is deep. He will not harm you, you will be safe. He will not take himself to be put upon you. DR must trust him and trust my judgment, for you are in good care. Love will keep you together dear. These petty attempts to drive you apart will not work.
MA: I will need DR to hold shields while the chosen warriors take control of the demons and destroy them. You will be sent with your brother to be in the safest place. You will be stripped of all binds once again and will be well guarded. You will be bound again to the Circle and to DR. You will have many shields placed upon you and nothing will get through without trouble.
MA: We will commence taking down your shields now – I have the mage with me – and you will be bound to DR again immediately. You need to go with DD now. I am sending you far into the mountains until the demons are located and destroyed. DD knows the place that not many others do. Go with him now and be safe. You do not need to be consciously on the planes for you are already here. I will take DD with me as he is already here as well. You will become accustomed to the separation of consciousnesses in time. You are quite the center of attention lately, dear. I have not had so much excitement in a long time.
I say humbly: I know, and I feel bad about it. I didn’t think so much trouble would follow me wherever I go. I’m sorry.
MA: Dear, it is not your doing. There were demons before you and there will be demons after you. The Circle has dealt with these things before, it is not new. We have been coming under attack ever since we began and we are still here. Do not feel as if this is your fault. You will be cleansed and all will return to normal. Go now and let us work. DD will hide you well. You will be fine. I am with you.
I call DD…
DD: Come now dear, you do not want to be so conspicuous when your shields are dropped and your inner light shines through like a beacon in the dark to all who would hearken unto its call. You are a princess and jealousy rages among those who want your powers and knowledge. They want you to be taken down so that they no longer have you to fear. It is your light they want to extinguish because they know of your role in the end times. You are strong though and you have much power on your side. Shall we?
I say: So now that we’re stuck here, do you have any profound thoughts you’d like to share?
DD: Well, there is one thing I have not told you yet.
What’s that?
DD: Well, I am a Royal Prince.
You’re full of it.
DD: No, it is true. My father’s father was a king. He ruled in a land north in Wales for two decades. It was family owned territory until it was taken by Welsh government. It should be on record still. (Laughs.) You are precious when you do not believe a word I say.
Thanks. (There was never a doubt that he was telling stories.)
DD: (Laughs.) I may be a little silly at times but I would not seek to harm you, I hold you too dear. Heather, I do not mean to make you doubt me. For DR to be alright with me, he needs to see that I have your best interests in mind. I will not allow him to come between the bond that we have and I do not intend to come between you as it is written that you have no other like him. I will not interfere with fate and I will not take your companionship for granted.
DD: It is my place to love and protect you and I will do so at any cost. Just because I have feelings for you does not mean I cannot do well in looking after you. I wish your husband would understand this and stop being so angered by my harmless actions. Simple flowers are not going to steal you away. I only mean to make you smile and he acts as if I am down on one knee. Your heart is true to the one you love, I felt that when I kissed you.
DD: DR has nothing to worry about; he will not have to hear anything more of me. There will be no more flirting, say I. He takes all the fun out of it anyway – just kidding. Heather, honestly, you know I would not do anything to hurt you, you are too important. I apologize. Truly. I have many friends, but not one means as much as you. In so little time have you grown so close and I will not jeopardize that.
After a time, I call upon MA…
MA: Yes dear. It was tiring but all your blocks are gone.
I’m sorry…
MA: Dear, it is not your fault that the demons are doing this. They fear you and they fear what you and Daniel can do together. We are here to protect each other and that is what we are doing. You have done more than your share to help me and the others. I never would have expected an exorcism out of you but you did it without considering asking someone else. You knew what you were doing and you stepped to my aid when no one else thought to do so. You had great faith in me and that also shows great honour for your clan. Please stop blaming yourself. If anything, you should blame me for creating and shaping such a wonderful woman.
MA: We very carefully took down all your shields one by one and no more have been put in place yet; therefore, stay with DD until I call you back down. I replaced your tie to the Circle and to DR. Other than that, you have no shields on you. We must leave you open so that we may take down any new ones that appear should the demons start to rebuild them on you before we get the last one. We have found and destroyed three of the nine. It is a long job, I understand, but we are working nonstop to find them all. Most of the Circle, especially PE, have been essential in hunting them. The mage Silverstar and the eagle, as well as two strong dragons have been doing well on the hunt. We have just found another one. I must go now and assist. Answer RW but do not tell even him where you are. His mind is open to them.
RW…
RW: Heather, where are you? DR is out here looking for you.
He should be with MA.
RW: He was looking for you earlier. Why so vague dear? Being secretive with me?
There is a battle. I am somewhere safe.
RW: Oh, then possibly I will see you soon then.
If you like, when it is complete, I will be back.
RW: Yes, we should go out to the pub tonight and put this shite behind us. If you wish, I can bring some friends along. You will have fun. The real fun is in the ale hahaha. You can bring DR if you think he will enjoy it. Has he ever had a drunk subconscious?
Not sure on that one…
RW: Oh well bring him anyway so he does not think I am trying to marry you too.
You’re bad.
RW: Hey, I am just trying to make a better impression than last night.
MY BROTHER DD INTRODUCES ME TO ANOTHER BROTHER OF OURS, DA
(A tap on the shoulder…) Yes, DD…
DD: I have spoken to DA and he wants to talk to you if you want to meet him.
Certainly.
DA: Heather?
Yes, DA.
DA: Hello, I am glad to finally speak to you.
Why were you so scared of me?
DA: Because the only voice I thought you had was a battle cry. You are a warrior to be feared.
(Laughs) Only if you’re on my bad side.
DA: Which I hope to never be.
I don’t think you ever will be.
DA: When did you become Elder? I never placed you as Druid when I first saw you on the planes.
When did you first see me?
DA: It was about 100 years ago, and every time I have seen you since then, you have been killing something.
I was brought into the Circle in September, it was planned long before I knew it that MA wanted me in this position.
DA: I see. Heather, DD tells me that you are a talented healer, and also a poet. When did you start writing?
In this life, near about ten years old, I would say. Before that I couldn’t tell you.
DA: I see. Would you like to collaborate on something?
Do you have something in mind?
DA: Possibly. I am thinking of writing a series of prose about the life we live here. You could bring some ideas to compare and join the two worlds since you have not left yours yet.
I will have to think of something when my mind is in the right place for it.
DA: Good, I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Do you have anything you would like me to write for you?
You read my mind.
DA: Haha.
I need help writing my wedding vows to DR.
DA: DR… You are already married, I thought.
On the planes, but not here.
DA: But if you are married here, then you are married there.
We haven’t actually gathered in ceremony here and made our promises to each other in a proper rite. When we were married in the Circle, because it was done astrally, neither one of us remember much of it. We are still very much of human mind and the physical world tends to cloud or block most of what we experience on the other planes – if that makes sense.
DA: It does, dear. I will help you with that then if it settles your mind.
Thank you.
DA: You are quite welcome, dear. When would you like to begin?
That depends how much thinking I have to do.
DA: Haha. I will give you something to start with then. When the moment is proper and with a candle between you, lit by you both, look into his eyes and say the words:
DR, with a joyous heart do I give you my word
To be ever true in the things I do
To hold you in my eyes and in my soul
As my one true love ‘til we grow old
Let no man or beast betray
The promise I give to you today
As sure as the sun will rise
You are perfect in my eyes
I give you my heart, my body and soul
And bind us together with the words of old
If it is your will, then it is this way
I am yours, forever and a day
DA: You may add your own words in at any point of course, and I understand you already have some written.
I do.
DA: I would love to hear them when you are done. Go work on that now then, and call on me when you are done.
…The vows are written.
MY DEAREST BROTHER DD IS OVERTAKEN BY DAEMON - IT IS VERY EMOTIONAL
DD finally lets his emotions and feelings over me get the best of him. Jealousy over my choice to be with DR, jealousy over my close bond with RW, jealousy over my long friendship with the Warlock MD and his guardianship of me since I was young all finally caused his mind to snap as he started making threats on me, DR, MA, MD, RW and the rest of the Circle, accusing RW of raping me to bind us, accusing MA of fathering bastard children for his own selfish desires, finally saying if he couldn’t have me that he was going to kill off the Inner Circle one by one and take me for himself anyway.
DD was stripped of his title of Guardian to me and removed from the Circle, sent to the Elves to work there, heal his heart and get his mind back. DD came to me in the morning threatening to kill himself which I took to MA who ordered him locked down with two guards standing watch over him at all times. He then threatened me, saying I locked him up and that when he got out he was going to make sure I felt what it was like to be locked up and shut down.
DR and MD put him through great physical torture after the first threats. DR stopped himself, but I had to call off MD because it was hurting me too much, as a strong empath. I begged them not to kill him – he is still my brother. After the threats on MA, the Circle and VI, MA finally went to DR, outside of Circle, and asked him as a father to kill DD. However in the time it took DR to compose himself to carry out such a task, it was found that while he was not possessed, DD was still under the influence of a demon who was guiding him and amplifying his rage and jealousy.
I had been asking MA for hours, pleading, if there was any other way, if there was any last chance for DD. I cried and mourned over the thought of my loving brother being put to death even though he, who while in love and constantly pushing his limits, was still my best friend. This is when someone finally took one last look into DD and discovered the demonic guidance.
MA asked me if I loved DD, if I still wanted him to live after trying to remove me from DR’s heart and care, after plotting to kidnap me spiritually, after taking me in my sleep and binding me with sex, after the threats and the vicious insults. His life or death became my choice and my word was carried out when I asked that he be spared. He will always be my brother. The demon will be sought and destroyed. For his own actions, he will be held in solitude until the Elves can work on healing his mind and heart. He will be gone for about a year and I have taken over his place in the Circle, as well as still holding my own. I have also been given the right to oversee DD’s progress with the Elves, allowed to watch over him but not speak with him until such time as he can prove himself fit to be allowed safely back in my presence.
This is truly a solemn event and has brought much pain to everyone. Even so, for my intuition that something was influencing him from the outside, for my courage to take his threats and still try to bestow healing words and touch upon him, for my strength to order the torture of my own brother and the compassion to spare his life, Sir E of the P... Clan of the Knights of [private] came this night to give me an honorary Knightship. In Circle, I was given a representative suit of armor and a beautiful sword, and knighted. Even though I am still mourning what has become of DD, I am still hopeful that one day I will have the brother back who meant so much to me since we first sat in the Glade together and spoke in verse of my coming to the Circle.
ANOTHER OF OUR KIN SPEAKS WITH ME ABOUT THE RECENT EVENTS AND LIFE WITHIN THE CLAN TRIES TO RETURN TO NORMAL
I speak with White Wolf, who was present when DD was removed...
Hello WW, it’s nice to finally meet you, although the circumstances could have been better.
WW: Yes, I agree. What you did was honorable though, even though it pains you greatly. To weep for someone shows that your love for them heeds for nothing. I am glad you called for DD’s life to be spared. Only a one true friend could do that after what he did. Heather, as a token of my thanks, I would like to give you this bow as I know you enjoy archery. It has been blessed with many good hunts and it will bring you blessings as well. Do you desire to know what it is made of?
(questioning look, nod)
WW: It was taken down from the sacred Tree of [private] and crafted from its branches. It has been designed to give a perfect shot every time and it will not break. Just be mindful of what you are shooting at. If any magickal animal should happen to be hit, it (the bow) will return to the tree from which it was crafted and you will not be able to use it again. Only use it for necessary food and furs. {Note: While nourishment and clothing as we know it here is not necessarily necessary while residing on the planes, these are still human habits that are often very difficult if not impossible to suppress when one chooses to continue on living as they had before death.}
Understood. Thank you, this is very kind of you.
WW: You are welcome, and I am sure we will all be eating well tonight.
(laughs.) So you’ll be coming with me on a hunt tonight then?
WW: I would be honored to accompany you.
A deer and a pig then for the clan, and tonight we shall eat, drink and celebrate good decisions.
MA: Good, then the clan will be called and we will all come together to feast with our Jylsamynne.
RW?
RW: Alcohol. Yes. Much. Leave it to me.
(hugs) I knew I could count on you.
RW: Of course, dear. Who would I be if not your favorite drinking partner?
I ask: MA, would it be wrong of me to have a meal of tonight’s hunt sent to DD so that at least he knows he is thought of?
MA: It would make him happy, I am sure. Thank you for thinking of him. Your heart is good.
(Raises wine) To Clanship and Kinship!
(Cheers…) RW: To Warrior Women!!!
(Silence, followed by explosive laughter of all those who have gathered.)
(The whole while, DD is felt physically tapping me on the arm...)
(DD, still tapping…)
Cautiously, I say: DD, one thing you may say and without the demon tongue.
DD: Heather, I want you to know that I do appreciate your decision. Although I do miss you dearly, I understand why you and the rest did what you had to do. I am sorry.
Thank you. I am going on a hunt tonight, and I will have some sent to you. You are missed and thought of.
DD: Thank you.
AN UNKNOWN BUT VERY STRONG EGYPTIAN WOMAN APPEARS TO ME AND SPEAKS:
I do not know who appeared to me, but she was a woman in Pharoh outfitting.
“The words are written. The tears shall fall. My eyes have opened to nature’s call. I always knew this day would come but now we stand at the eve of destruction. Here we stand waiting and watching, for the end times are near. You are precious to the world. Go before the Kings and we will decide who will open the gates. Zion and Tibet are waiting for you to revive them. Do what seems best. You are a doorway to the gates. The testament you make will decide the fate of nations. I need you to prepare the sarsys for world release. You will choose the battlefield. The time has been set for the end war. Death will ring over the earth. Perfect love will prevail. When it is time, Nador (the keeper of the World Scrolls which predict all events) will summon you to release the records. DR must be determined to bring the innocent to victory.”
MY DEAR BROTHER DD IS RELEASED
DD is set free! MA and I have both had enough of his constant moving and torture. The solitary confinements have made him worse. He still has the demon with him but is more in control of it now. He is afraid to let it go, but he is keeping it away from me – and me from it. DD himself has not given me any problems. He has been removed from the Circle and from the Clan. He is no longer welcome at the temple or within the family. However, he has been set free upon the planes. I helped him build a new home up in his mountain hide-out. We spend time together as often as we used to and he is back to being a good friend.
DD: Heather, Father, thank you, oh gods above, thank you! I realize the wrongs, my love, you know the signature of the demon tongue, you know to stay away when he is near and I pray that you and my father and the brothers who will are able to and will help rid me of this beast once and for all because with freedom’s call I cannot let him control me again. There is no way on hell or earth I will succumb to his hold again, my dear. I almost lost you both and my own life as well. I have put you all through hell and I will not knowingly bring that back to you. All this time Heather, you were there fighting for me and father, you believe in me so much as to let me be freed from the shains that bound my mind for months. Thank you both, I can’t thank you enough for all you do for me. Dear God I can’t believe this is happening. Do you know what this means? I am free now! Free to be your brother, your friend, your healer. I will still always watch over you even if it is not my title as I know you are also watching over me. I shall make a new home for myself now, one in the mountains where you both are welcome to rest or reside. Do come with me now and help me build and bless my new home. <Speechless…> Thank you so much… <Embraces…>
IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE ASTRAL PREGNANCY, AND FOR A CHILD TO BE BORN IN THE PLANES...
MA: It is truly a blessing and the most magical thing I can give you. I know you desire a child with him but cannot do so safely. I give you this child to have as your own and she shall be infused with my blood within the two of you. Here I will take care of you all, for you are all of me and this shall be the next in the line of P... and certainly the most pure for she shall not know the horrors of the physical world. She shall be pure of our blood and strong of our mind, wasting nothing to earthly intervention. In your womb shall she grow, free from the poisons of the world and bathed in pure energy from the light of my love unto you and from the light of your love for each other.
HN: And... if DR didn’t want this?
MA: But you did, my dear. All children come as a surprise and if DR should not want you to bear this child, then rest knowing that I shall not step down from your side throughout this beautiful event, not during her creating, not after her birth and not into her adulthood for as long as you want me in your life and in hers, I will be there to guide, to protect, to care for and to love you both. I would hope though that DR would welcome this circumstance and see it as a blessing that can be created between the worlds. He should not reject her, for it is from his loins that her life sprang forth. She is also of him. She is of all of us and as such, our little G... will prove to be an extremely powerful addition to the P... clan. She is borne of magic and of magic shall she live. DR will father her in magic. You will mother her in magic. She will be my daughter and granddaughter all the same and shall be cared for in magic, the sum of our energies combined into one perfect little girl. Three energies, three times the power of the magic of which she was created and three times shall her strength be above us all when she grows to harness all that she is made of.
HN: And here?
MA: There will be no sickness or symptom, for this new child is purely of the planes. If you wish, you can open yourself to the miracle that sleeps within you, feel her kick as she grows, hear her soft cry in your sleep, feel the light growing within you. If DR is accepting, I shall wish to announce the news at once, for this is a blessed occasion that calls for much celebration. A new P... shall arrive and who more deserving to be her parents than you and my wonderful DR? The two children who remain in my highest regard, who have been strong and proven their loyalty, and as of yet have not seen fit to try and make me insane. Who better than you, I ask, to carry on the name given you at birth? Among us, she shall be revered as the purest of the bloodline and she shall be treated as such for never in my line has a child been born as pure as our G... will be. Do not fear, either of you, for you are all well cared for and when you arrive here permanently, you will know the full extent of my love for you both. Your daughter will know you still when you arrive for good and you will carry on as if you had only moved your home. My blessings pour out upon you both, for you are the way it was meant to be.
PLAYFUL CONVERSATION WITH MY FAVOURITE BROTHER... SPEAKING ACROSS THE VEIL
AND THERE ARE INDEED HORSES IN THE ETHER...
I: DD, my brother, always by my side
like no other, in you I confide
DD: standing TALL and standing proud,
you’ll always find me in a crowd
I: DD, that was stupid.
DD: I know, but you make such a fuss about your height, I thought it would make you feel better to remind you that I am taller than you.
I: True, at least you’re not short like RW.
DD: <Snickers> You are precious.
I: No, I’m evil.
DD: Sometimes, but it looks good on you.
I: Alright, sassy.
DD: <Snickers.>
I: So did we actually make it there last night? I remember my horse not wanting to cross planes.
DD: Yes, RW said you left her at the water’s edge. An you made the mountain come down to you because you were too tired to climb it. Oh – and thank him for the wine for me.
I: I will. <He nods, “No problem, brothers to the end.”>
DD: He is coming up to be a fine young man. It is good for you to be around him. You keep him in line.
I: And he watches over me as well.
DD: Yes, we all do, love. We all have different reasons for looking out for you, but in the end, you are well-protected.
I: And I’m grateful for it. I wish I had come to know you sooner.
DD: I do as well, but it was not the right time. Besides, you had MD. And your guide. They led you in the right direction.
I: Well, I’m sure MA had something to do with it too.
DD: Not as much as you would think. You had your own learning to do and your own decisions to make. Nevertheless, when [dragon familiar] led you to the crossroads, I am glad you made the choice that you did.
I ASK MA ABOUT MY PASSING, MY FINAL REQUEST TO HIM, AND ABOUT LIFE IN THE ASTRAL REALMS AS COMPARED TO THE PHYSICAL REALM
And so he tells me:
“I know you are worried that when you pass it will be over for you. Be aware that we are all aware of your final wishes and we will carry them out as you have requested. In respect of your request, Circle elders, including myself, will retrieve you the moment you pass. We will know it is time because you are tightly bound to us in a group mind and soul. In the time it takes you to take your final breath we will already have been waiting by your side. You will not have a moment without us, dear.
"Be prepared when it is your time. At first there will be darkness and then a white light will surround you. In the light, you will see shadows. They will be us – myself, N..., O... and possibly ST and WA. You will recognize me immediately, as you have known me intimately. You will also recognize O, as you have seen him as well.
"Just remember when you pass, you have a choice. You can either come with us or go your own way. You will recognize me because you will see my face and I will call you by your real name and your clan name. Jylsamynne. You will not see other beings, only a stairway of light. The only people you will see will be those of your clan, of the Circle of (private). It is your choice of which way to go. Only if you ask us to take you will we do so."
Say I: I’m asking you, take me. In that moment, take me. This is my choice made.
MA: "It will be done, and it is written on your scroll. At the moment of the crossroads, we will take you to the temple grounds. When you arrive at the Temple, we will let you rest as long as you need to, for it will be a tiring trip for you. It will only take a few moments, but it is a long way.
"When you have rested, I will help you become practiced at planes walking since it will now be easier with you here. You will not be without me for a moment until you are comfortable here and want to venture out on your own.
"Yes, DD will be allowed to spend time with you here. He has not been banished from the grounds, only removed from the Circle and its practices. You may spend as much time with him as you wish and when you are ready, you may travel with him and travel to the places you visit now.
"Travel will be as easy for you here as it is for you there now. All it takes is the will and the energy to get there. You will not get lost. You will have a strong connection to the Temple Grounds and to the Circle and you will always be able to come back here no matter where you travel to.
"Sights and sounds will be as vivid as they are for you now in the physical world. You will not see many differences in physical sensations here. You will see, hear, smell, taste and touch just the same here as you do there with the only exception being you will be much more sensitive to energy patterns.
"In your remaining time in the physical world, try to learn all you can about the astral. It will help you to not be so scared when you arrive. I promise I will not move you anywhere but here and I will not leave your side. We will bring you immediately to the Temple and your home will be here with us. It will be fine, love. Do not worry. I will not let anything happen to you that is against your wishes."
CONTINUED IN PART 3...
"The first thing you need to know is do not take this lightly. The magic begins with the trees and ends with the trees. If the magic is in harmony, so will the trees be in harmony and you can feel this from them if you are truly Druid. If the magic is harmful, then this will be reflected in the health and the energies of the trees. Druid magics are based on the knowledge of the trees and of the earth itself.
"In the earth rests a spirit whose name is {only written in my private books -- it is not yet to be known, this private address}. This spirit is the culmination of all things good and bad that man has afflicted upon the earth. If the spirit becomes too tightly bound by the evils being done to it, it is said it will open up the earth and let go all of the evils that it has collected at once, bringing death to itself and all who live here. If the spirit takes in enough good deeds to balance the evil, then we will continue on as we are. But if the spirit is able to fill up with good deeds, it will open up and bestow blessings upon all those who have done well by her name.
"There is another belief that the trees contain a source of magic on their own which as a Druid you can learn by opening yourself to them and letting them invoke their knowledge into you. The trees do not speak in words, but in energies and emotions and if you listen to them long enough, they will impart entire stories to you in a matter of seconds. The trees will sometimes allow you to call upon them for healing or other energies if they have enough to give. If not, then you can call upon the spirit of trees of all the earth and receive the energy of those who are willing to help for your purpose or need. The trees are very generous if you thank them properly and always hold them in respect in your life and works.
"To access the magics of the trees, you must first spend time becoming one with their spirit. When you can feel what they are giving of themselves to you, then communication will happen naturally. When you have achieved a connection with the Great Tree Spirit, you will find it effortless to draw their energy into you. Drawing from the trees over time will eventually fill you with the knowledge of their magics, little by little, for their magic is contained within their energy flow.
"The energy of the earth, unlike the energy of the trees, carries the energy of all the elements because they are all contained within her: the fiery core, the dry desert, the waters of the seas and the air of the breath of life – all are carried and moved by the great spirit of the earth. When the lines of these energies meet up, they bring the magic of their combined elements into existence. Where they meet, they create a center of power which can be drawn on as long as the energy is flowing unpolluted or undamaged.
"When a temple is placed on the plane directly above a nexus, the members of that group mind are always connected to that flow of power. It is better to think of these energy lines more as waves or currents because they do fluctuate depending on the health of a particular area. It is like the chakra system of the earth. The energy currents are contained within the earth and are reflected onto each higher plane. Everything on the earth has an astral double, just like everything done on a higher plane is filtered back down to the physical. As above, so below. You will rarely if ever see a physical manifestation of something done on the planes, but the energies that are created during a planes working do affect change in the physical."
THE HIGH MAGIC OF THE DRUIDS (As told by DD)
"High magic involves elevating one’s consciousness to the Astral and on up to the Atmic planes. The basis of high magic is under the doorway to these planes. High magic is brought through these doorways and manifested in prayer and the raising of energy. The trick is performing it with a pure heart so as not to tie up negative energies into the stream of energy being called and released into the universe. When working with these universal energies, it is important to remember in the end it is all reflected back onto you. One negative act, even if by mistake, can magnify into disaster if left unfixed. The natural way of things dictates that everything be in balance. When it is not, we work the high magics to correct the imbalances. In doing so, we are imposing our will on the universe but it has the ability to accept or reject it. If what we ask is beneficial to many and harms none, it will be done. If it will in any way harm someone or something, then we must find another way to do it.
"Druid magic is very closely related to Wiccan magic in its principles but the difference is in our focus. In Wicca, much work is done for the betterment of the self whereas in our magic, we concern ourselves with the earth herself and in doing so, we receive her protection, knowledge and blessings without having to ask."
CIRCLE HEALING RITUAL (As told by DD)
Making a star in the air with your receptive hand, recite these words: “In the name of the great earth spirit, I summon you Gaia to hear my prayer. There are many who will not hear. There are many who will not see. There are many who will not realize the damage they do to you and do to your children. Hear my calling unto you now to ever let the children of your earthen womb be spared and protected from the evils that have come upon them. Let there be healing where it is needed most and let those blind to you open their eyes and their hearts, for yours is the gift of life. I ask you now to open up my heart as well to those who would seek your compassion and knowledge that they may see the true beauty and light within you. Mother Earth, take this gift and multiply it by your magic that you may prosper even in times of war. I am your child and this I pray. As I will, so mote it be.”
White robes are worn during this prayer which is offered up at the full moon or when someone is in need.
SPEAKING WITH THE STARS (As told by DD)
The night is a great source of power in itself, for it is there that we can work unseen by those who doubt us. It is also a great comfort as its dark soul brings rest to the worries of the mind. The night also brings us the stars, from which many great things can manifest. If a star should tell you to come to it, heed its call, for it may have either a message or a gift for you. Close your eyes and draw the star down slowly into your being. Become enveloped in its light and let it consume you. Gently release your hold on your body and let yourself be drawn back up into the star. If you start to feel overwhelmed, release some of the energy, but talk to the star and it will tell its stories to anyone brave enough to venture so close.
You can also walk amongst the stars by casting a tunnel into the sky and letting it wind through random places. Give the tunnel free will and it will lead you where you need to go. Draw from the energy of the Circle, for the more energy put into casting the tunnel, the further it will take you.
DRUID MAGICS (Further Explained by MA) -- SPEAKING WITH THE TREES
To better explain the Druid magics, we must first look to the trees, for it is within them that the secret of life is held. Some time when you can, go sit with a tree and just feel its energies. You will learn more from the impressions they give you than you ever will from a book. To experience the magic within the energy is to know it deep within your soul, better than any words can ever explain. The history of the earth is contained within each and every tree. Listen to them and feel what they have endured. Learn that time and patience is what gives them their longevity. Their magic involves using the pure force of life itself to heal and reproduce. They do not call upon men to care for them, nor should we call upon them unless the need is great and life is in danger. They do listen. They respond only if the seeker is honest in their intentions. When turning to a tree for knowledge, remember to always leave an offering of thanks. You will learn more from them if they are treated with the respect they deserve.
PORTAL OF AIR AND SPIRIT (As taught by DD)
Draw the Air symbol (triangle) in the air where you want the portal to be. Invoke Spirit with the words: “Spirit of Air, I now invoke thee. Bring home any who would gaze at thee.” Then, when someone sees the window, the Spirit in the triangle will come to them and transport them back where they came from. Makes for a great little trap as well. It will stay up indefinitely unless you take it down yourself.
SLED PORTAL (As taught by DD)
A new one I came up with. I made it to get out of somewhere fast. What I did was use an ice tunnel hidden by a window of a layer of Spirit. I commanded Ice to take me home when Spirit was pierced, then when things got hairy, I stepped into the window and off I went.
DOORWAY TO EGYPT (As taught by DD)
I made this one several times. I used Spirit to create a layer of protection around myself. Then I laid a doorway in the ground. For the door I made a cut in the plane on the ground where I wanted to leave. I said, “I invoke thee, Mother Isis. Guard and guide me to your home. Bring me to Egypt when the door is opened, and bring me home again.” You will want to use a protection of Spirit because you may meet some bad things along the way. Egypt is a power center and many still use it for incredibly negative workings, so you never know who you will meet going in or out.
TRANSLATING MY RECENT VISIONS OF BLESSINGS (As Discussed With MA)
MA: The horses are a sign of blessings to come. Seek within not for what you want but for what you need. I have better things in mind for you. You and DR will be fine, I am taking care of you. I am giving you help in your life by opening up others to your needs. Very few good Pendragons in this world. I am sitting with one now – her name is Heather. When DR uses his strength within, do not doubt his power; use yours with his and see the magic you can create. I am going to help you with gardens of gold, not just for yourselves, but for those you love who need it as well. Trust in me love, I will not fail you after all you have done for me.
WINDOW OF DREAMS (As Told By DD)
It is a plane on which everyone’s dreams call forth into being their images and symbols. Whoever can make it there can see the dreams as they occur and sometimes enter one and be a part of it.
FURTHER VISIONS EXPLAINED BY MA AND DD: FLEUR-DE-LIS VISIONS / GOLD ANGEL
DD: The Triple Crown… it is known as a symbol of royalty in France and other northern European countries. It does not always look like a flower but sometimes a crown, which is why it was chosen to represent… (have someone trying to break into the conversation on the pendulum… DD takes off to kill it.)
MA: Yes dear, I am here, I will continue while your brother kills this prankster. The Fleur-De-Lis has been appearing to you because you are about to be given a new position on the planes.
I ask: Will I still remain Elder?
MA: Yes, heavens yes, we need you, but this is not related to the Circle. My love, you are a living angel, an escort into the heavens for those who have become lost in their travels. In your work with the souls, you have journeyed to hell, to the Summerlands and nearly to Heaven, higher and farther than any dead person has gone on their own, much less any living person. In your work, you did not fail and you were not afraid, therefore the High Angels want you to continue to work with them in guiding lost souls home.
MA: Yesterday, I showed you a set of wings in a double vision. The first part was to show you that you are as a Phoenix that will be rising from the fires. This was part of my promise to help provide for you on the physical plane. The wings then turned to gold as you rose, symbolizing the wings you wear as an angel.
MA: I am surprised you did not see this coming after seeing your halo appear when you took the dragons down to Heaven’s Eve. That was the job of an angel, my love, not of a mere mortal. In your work with the souls, you are compassionate and kind and they talk well of you when they are home. The High Angels miss nothing and they want to give you this position because you earned it. Your wings are gold, love. You wear them well, they are very becoming.
I ask: Why gold?
MA: Because you are able to travel with the High Angels to Heaven’s Gate. No mortal can normally do this without being near death. In time, you will come to a better understanding of this as the time comes to judge the Final Battle. In the meantime, continue your work and congratulations, I have never had a gold angel in the Circle.
I ask: MA – Exodus 20:3 says – “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” How is it then that I am beckoned to work among the High Angels, as an angel, that I am welcomed at Heaven’s Gates and trusted with Heaven-bound souls, while still calling upon the Mother Goddess and other deities along my Paths?
MA: That is a very deep question requiring a very extensive answer. To begin with, you are commissioned to work as an angel among the High Angels because you are truly a good person who has proven trustworthy in your work as well as very intelligent in planes-walking and safe in your travels but I sincerely hope you do not leave the Circle to do only this.
MA: You have also been granted forgiveness by God for he is aware of your knowledge and your purpose to the extent of admitting to the existence of the other deities to you, only because the truth cannot be hidden from you as it can from others. God, as most know of him, is composed of many aspects, mostly hidden from the uninformed, those who truly need to be led blindly through their life. Those such as yourself whose talents and knowledge have been opened up are no longer blinded to all that truly exists. You have been granted visions and ears to hear the truths you will need when the Final Battle occurs, for you are among the chosen to ascend to Heaven and judge some of the demons as they fall and rise again.
MA: The other reason you were chosen is that you are so much more than human. I am ecstatic to see that my only daughter has risen to such heights in her knowledge and wisdom of the Arts that are hidden from most. In learning the Arts, you are granted the ability to communicate with the deities. The true Mother resides within you and through her you are able to communicate with all the gods and goddesses, giving you the ability to walk with them and also obtain their knowledge when they deem so.
MA: When you are ready, I will take you on a walk with the Spirit of the Green Hunter, for he has much to share with you. He is willing to extend your knowledge of the Earth and her rhythms so that you may better help us in seeing where healing is needed most, for you have the vision and the ability to feel her vibrations closely and communicate with her, whereas most of us can only do what we can to help. We brought you here for this reason, and so that you could be with your rightful family; we did not think you would be so much more. My dear, DD is begging to speak with you again, if you will. Carry on…
DD can wait. I ask: Merlin, why is all this “status” being bestowed upon me all of a sudden – initiation into the Circle, Dragon Master, Gold Angel… ??
MA: Look inside yourself for the answer to that question love.
MA: Heather, hope is the answer and you finally have it within you to claim what is rightfully yours. Look inside and see your true form, your true age. There you will find the key to all that you are.
MA: When I helped create you, I gave within my seed the keys to unlock the mysteries of the earth and stars. Your ancient spirit brought the rest of you into being – angel and dragon master, guardian and seer – those did not come from me, rather you held rightful claim to them. Another part of you belongs to Atlantis and again, this is not something that I have given to you, rather it has followed you down through each incarnation into the beauty that you are today.
MA: I gave you status in the Circle because you are my kin and because the studies of your life have led you to this path. This is not something I ever interfered in or tried to point you to, rather when I did see you going off course into the darker magics, I only pulled you back to save you from a certain death had you followed that route. I never told you where to go or influenced your decisions. You made it here on your own because you are so much a part of me, this is where you were drawn and who would I be if I hadn’t welcomed you in with open arms once you found your way home?
MA: Do not ever feel that your work in all your aspects is too much to handle, for you have others you can call upon for help, as you have done, when you need guidance or reinforcements. You are not alone, my love. If you ever doubt the validity of your positions, keep in mind that you have seen the work you have done firsthand.
MA: Remember the talents you possessed as a child and see how you are using them now.
Remember flying with the birds when you were eight years old.
Remember the pull to the sea before you could even walk.
Remember the dancing of the fire and the Shaman’s touch when you were nine years old.
Remember your open channels when you were sixteen and the people you helped with your sight.
Remember the way you ran to the pines for comfort and knowledge. Your brother DD was strong in you then, but you had yet to know him. He already knew and loved you though, which is why he ran to your aid when I hurt you.
Remember your time with the horses at the ranch and the suffering you endured to be near them. Your spirit still runs free with your golden-haired pony and the spirit of the horse is still within you.
MA: My child, all these gifts have always been yours, you only needed the experience to reclaim them. I know your head is still hurting from too much wine. You and your brother should be more careful next time. He needs to remember that you do not take wine and ale well. Rest for a while and I will see what I can do for your heads, silly children.
DD?
DD: He is laughing at us, how cruel.
YET ANOTHER BATTLE RAGES AND I AM PUT INTO PROTECTION
I ask: Merlin… is Drynnh really a guardian to me? We’re the same age.
MA: Yes, he is, and I will be putting you in his care while I am taking care of things. DR will have to accept this no matter how they feel for each other because I will need his help as well in holding up the shields while these ingrates are brought to justice. DD is more than capable of keeping you safely hidden while these demons are called out and he can help you heal emotionally from the stress this has been putting you through.
MA: I will make sure he knows his place but I have seen the connection between you and it is deep. He will not harm you, you will be safe. He will not take himself to be put upon you. DR must trust him and trust my judgment, for you are in good care. Love will keep you together dear. These petty attempts to drive you apart will not work.
MA: I will need DR to hold shields while the chosen warriors take control of the demons and destroy them. You will be sent with your brother to be in the safest place. You will be stripped of all binds once again and will be well guarded. You will be bound again to the Circle and to DR. You will have many shields placed upon you and nothing will get through without trouble.
MA: We will commence taking down your shields now – I have the mage with me – and you will be bound to DR again immediately. You need to go with DD now. I am sending you far into the mountains until the demons are located and destroyed. DD knows the place that not many others do. Go with him now and be safe. You do not need to be consciously on the planes for you are already here. I will take DD with me as he is already here as well. You will become accustomed to the separation of consciousnesses in time. You are quite the center of attention lately, dear. I have not had so much excitement in a long time.
I say humbly: I know, and I feel bad about it. I didn’t think so much trouble would follow me wherever I go. I’m sorry.
MA: Dear, it is not your doing. There were demons before you and there will be demons after you. The Circle has dealt with these things before, it is not new. We have been coming under attack ever since we began and we are still here. Do not feel as if this is your fault. You will be cleansed and all will return to normal. Go now and let us work. DD will hide you well. You will be fine. I am with you.
I call DD…
DD: Come now dear, you do not want to be so conspicuous when your shields are dropped and your inner light shines through like a beacon in the dark to all who would hearken unto its call. You are a princess and jealousy rages among those who want your powers and knowledge. They want you to be taken down so that they no longer have you to fear. It is your light they want to extinguish because they know of your role in the end times. You are strong though and you have much power on your side. Shall we?
I say: So now that we’re stuck here, do you have any profound thoughts you’d like to share?
DD: Well, there is one thing I have not told you yet.
What’s that?
DD: Well, I am a Royal Prince.
You’re full of it.
DD: No, it is true. My father’s father was a king. He ruled in a land north in Wales for two decades. It was family owned territory until it was taken by Welsh government. It should be on record still. (Laughs.) You are precious when you do not believe a word I say.
Thanks. (There was never a doubt that he was telling stories.)
DD: (Laughs.) I may be a little silly at times but I would not seek to harm you, I hold you too dear. Heather, I do not mean to make you doubt me. For DR to be alright with me, he needs to see that I have your best interests in mind. I will not allow him to come between the bond that we have and I do not intend to come between you as it is written that you have no other like him. I will not interfere with fate and I will not take your companionship for granted.
DD: It is my place to love and protect you and I will do so at any cost. Just because I have feelings for you does not mean I cannot do well in looking after you. I wish your husband would understand this and stop being so angered by my harmless actions. Simple flowers are not going to steal you away. I only mean to make you smile and he acts as if I am down on one knee. Your heart is true to the one you love, I felt that when I kissed you.
DD: DR has nothing to worry about; he will not have to hear anything more of me. There will be no more flirting, say I. He takes all the fun out of it anyway – just kidding. Heather, honestly, you know I would not do anything to hurt you, you are too important. I apologize. Truly. I have many friends, but not one means as much as you. In so little time have you grown so close and I will not jeopardize that.
After a time, I call upon MA…
MA: Yes dear. It was tiring but all your blocks are gone.
I’m sorry…
MA: Dear, it is not your fault that the demons are doing this. They fear you and they fear what you and Daniel can do together. We are here to protect each other and that is what we are doing. You have done more than your share to help me and the others. I never would have expected an exorcism out of you but you did it without considering asking someone else. You knew what you were doing and you stepped to my aid when no one else thought to do so. You had great faith in me and that also shows great honour for your clan. Please stop blaming yourself. If anything, you should blame me for creating and shaping such a wonderful woman.
MA: We very carefully took down all your shields one by one and no more have been put in place yet; therefore, stay with DD until I call you back down. I replaced your tie to the Circle and to DR. Other than that, you have no shields on you. We must leave you open so that we may take down any new ones that appear should the demons start to rebuild them on you before we get the last one. We have found and destroyed three of the nine. It is a long job, I understand, but we are working nonstop to find them all. Most of the Circle, especially PE, have been essential in hunting them. The mage Silverstar and the eagle, as well as two strong dragons have been doing well on the hunt. We have just found another one. I must go now and assist. Answer RW but do not tell even him where you are. His mind is open to them.
RW…
RW: Heather, where are you? DR is out here looking for you.
He should be with MA.
RW: He was looking for you earlier. Why so vague dear? Being secretive with me?
There is a battle. I am somewhere safe.
RW: Oh, then possibly I will see you soon then.
If you like, when it is complete, I will be back.
RW: Yes, we should go out to the pub tonight and put this shite behind us. If you wish, I can bring some friends along. You will have fun. The real fun is in the ale hahaha. You can bring DR if you think he will enjoy it. Has he ever had a drunk subconscious?
Not sure on that one…
RW: Oh well bring him anyway so he does not think I am trying to marry you too.
You’re bad.
RW: Hey, I am just trying to make a better impression than last night.
MY BROTHER DD INTRODUCES ME TO ANOTHER BROTHER OF OURS, DA
(A tap on the shoulder…) Yes, DD…
DD: I have spoken to DA and he wants to talk to you if you want to meet him.
Certainly.
DA: Heather?
Yes, DA.
DA: Hello, I am glad to finally speak to you.
Why were you so scared of me?
DA: Because the only voice I thought you had was a battle cry. You are a warrior to be feared.
(Laughs) Only if you’re on my bad side.
DA: Which I hope to never be.
I don’t think you ever will be.
DA: When did you become Elder? I never placed you as Druid when I first saw you on the planes.
When did you first see me?
DA: It was about 100 years ago, and every time I have seen you since then, you have been killing something.
I was brought into the Circle in September, it was planned long before I knew it that MA wanted me in this position.
DA: I see. Heather, DD tells me that you are a talented healer, and also a poet. When did you start writing?
In this life, near about ten years old, I would say. Before that I couldn’t tell you.
DA: I see. Would you like to collaborate on something?
Do you have something in mind?
DA: Possibly. I am thinking of writing a series of prose about the life we live here. You could bring some ideas to compare and join the two worlds since you have not left yours yet.
I will have to think of something when my mind is in the right place for it.
DA: Good, I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Do you have anything you would like me to write for you?
You read my mind.
DA: Haha.
I need help writing my wedding vows to DR.
DA: DR… You are already married, I thought.
On the planes, but not here.
DA: But if you are married here, then you are married there.
We haven’t actually gathered in ceremony here and made our promises to each other in a proper rite. When we were married in the Circle, because it was done astrally, neither one of us remember much of it. We are still very much of human mind and the physical world tends to cloud or block most of what we experience on the other planes – if that makes sense.
DA: It does, dear. I will help you with that then if it settles your mind.
Thank you.
DA: You are quite welcome, dear. When would you like to begin?
That depends how much thinking I have to do.
DA: Haha. I will give you something to start with then. When the moment is proper and with a candle between you, lit by you both, look into his eyes and say the words:
DR, with a joyous heart do I give you my word
To be ever true in the things I do
To hold you in my eyes and in my soul
As my one true love ‘til we grow old
Let no man or beast betray
The promise I give to you today
As sure as the sun will rise
You are perfect in my eyes
I give you my heart, my body and soul
And bind us together with the words of old
If it is your will, then it is this way
I am yours, forever and a day
DA: You may add your own words in at any point of course, and I understand you already have some written.
I do.
DA: I would love to hear them when you are done. Go work on that now then, and call on me when you are done.
…The vows are written.
MY DEAREST BROTHER DD IS OVERTAKEN BY DAEMON - IT IS VERY EMOTIONAL
DD finally lets his emotions and feelings over me get the best of him. Jealousy over my choice to be with DR, jealousy over my close bond with RW, jealousy over my long friendship with the Warlock MD and his guardianship of me since I was young all finally caused his mind to snap as he started making threats on me, DR, MA, MD, RW and the rest of the Circle, accusing RW of raping me to bind us, accusing MA of fathering bastard children for his own selfish desires, finally saying if he couldn’t have me that he was going to kill off the Inner Circle one by one and take me for himself anyway.
DD was stripped of his title of Guardian to me and removed from the Circle, sent to the Elves to work there, heal his heart and get his mind back. DD came to me in the morning threatening to kill himself which I took to MA who ordered him locked down with two guards standing watch over him at all times. He then threatened me, saying I locked him up and that when he got out he was going to make sure I felt what it was like to be locked up and shut down.
DR and MD put him through great physical torture after the first threats. DR stopped himself, but I had to call off MD because it was hurting me too much, as a strong empath. I begged them not to kill him – he is still my brother. After the threats on MA, the Circle and VI, MA finally went to DR, outside of Circle, and asked him as a father to kill DD. However in the time it took DR to compose himself to carry out such a task, it was found that while he was not possessed, DD was still under the influence of a demon who was guiding him and amplifying his rage and jealousy.
I had been asking MA for hours, pleading, if there was any other way, if there was any last chance for DD. I cried and mourned over the thought of my loving brother being put to death even though he, who while in love and constantly pushing his limits, was still my best friend. This is when someone finally took one last look into DD and discovered the demonic guidance.
MA asked me if I loved DD, if I still wanted him to live after trying to remove me from DR’s heart and care, after plotting to kidnap me spiritually, after taking me in my sleep and binding me with sex, after the threats and the vicious insults. His life or death became my choice and my word was carried out when I asked that he be spared. He will always be my brother. The demon will be sought and destroyed. For his own actions, he will be held in solitude until the Elves can work on healing his mind and heart. He will be gone for about a year and I have taken over his place in the Circle, as well as still holding my own. I have also been given the right to oversee DD’s progress with the Elves, allowed to watch over him but not speak with him until such time as he can prove himself fit to be allowed safely back in my presence.
This is truly a solemn event and has brought much pain to everyone. Even so, for my intuition that something was influencing him from the outside, for my courage to take his threats and still try to bestow healing words and touch upon him, for my strength to order the torture of my own brother and the compassion to spare his life, Sir E of the P... Clan of the Knights of [private] came this night to give me an honorary Knightship. In Circle, I was given a representative suit of armor and a beautiful sword, and knighted. Even though I am still mourning what has become of DD, I am still hopeful that one day I will have the brother back who meant so much to me since we first sat in the Glade together and spoke in verse of my coming to the Circle.
ANOTHER OF OUR KIN SPEAKS WITH ME ABOUT THE RECENT EVENTS AND LIFE WITHIN THE CLAN TRIES TO RETURN TO NORMAL
I speak with White Wolf, who was present when DD was removed...
Hello WW, it’s nice to finally meet you, although the circumstances could have been better.
WW: Yes, I agree. What you did was honorable though, even though it pains you greatly. To weep for someone shows that your love for them heeds for nothing. I am glad you called for DD’s life to be spared. Only a one true friend could do that after what he did. Heather, as a token of my thanks, I would like to give you this bow as I know you enjoy archery. It has been blessed with many good hunts and it will bring you blessings as well. Do you desire to know what it is made of?
(questioning look, nod)
WW: It was taken down from the sacred Tree of [private] and crafted from its branches. It has been designed to give a perfect shot every time and it will not break. Just be mindful of what you are shooting at. If any magickal animal should happen to be hit, it (the bow) will return to the tree from which it was crafted and you will not be able to use it again. Only use it for necessary food and furs. {Note: While nourishment and clothing as we know it here is not necessarily necessary while residing on the planes, these are still human habits that are often very difficult if not impossible to suppress when one chooses to continue on living as they had before death.}
Understood. Thank you, this is very kind of you.
WW: You are welcome, and I am sure we will all be eating well tonight.
(laughs.) So you’ll be coming with me on a hunt tonight then?
WW: I would be honored to accompany you.
A deer and a pig then for the clan, and tonight we shall eat, drink and celebrate good decisions.
MA: Good, then the clan will be called and we will all come together to feast with our Jylsamynne.
RW?
RW: Alcohol. Yes. Much. Leave it to me.
(hugs) I knew I could count on you.
RW: Of course, dear. Who would I be if not your favorite drinking partner?
I ask: MA, would it be wrong of me to have a meal of tonight’s hunt sent to DD so that at least he knows he is thought of?
MA: It would make him happy, I am sure. Thank you for thinking of him. Your heart is good.
(Raises wine) To Clanship and Kinship!
(Cheers…) RW: To Warrior Women!!!
(Silence, followed by explosive laughter of all those who have gathered.)
(The whole while, DD is felt physically tapping me on the arm...)
(DD, still tapping…)
Cautiously, I say: DD, one thing you may say and without the demon tongue.
DD: Heather, I want you to know that I do appreciate your decision. Although I do miss you dearly, I understand why you and the rest did what you had to do. I am sorry.
Thank you. I am going on a hunt tonight, and I will have some sent to you. You are missed and thought of.
DD: Thank you.
AN UNKNOWN BUT VERY STRONG EGYPTIAN WOMAN APPEARS TO ME AND SPEAKS:
I do not know who appeared to me, but she was a woman in Pharoh outfitting.
“The words are written. The tears shall fall. My eyes have opened to nature’s call. I always knew this day would come but now we stand at the eve of destruction. Here we stand waiting and watching, for the end times are near. You are precious to the world. Go before the Kings and we will decide who will open the gates. Zion and Tibet are waiting for you to revive them. Do what seems best. You are a doorway to the gates. The testament you make will decide the fate of nations. I need you to prepare the sarsys for world release. You will choose the battlefield. The time has been set for the end war. Death will ring over the earth. Perfect love will prevail. When it is time, Nador (the keeper of the World Scrolls which predict all events) will summon you to release the records. DR must be determined to bring the innocent to victory.”
MY DEAR BROTHER DD IS RELEASED
DD is set free! MA and I have both had enough of his constant moving and torture. The solitary confinements have made him worse. He still has the demon with him but is more in control of it now. He is afraid to let it go, but he is keeping it away from me – and me from it. DD himself has not given me any problems. He has been removed from the Circle and from the Clan. He is no longer welcome at the temple or within the family. However, he has been set free upon the planes. I helped him build a new home up in his mountain hide-out. We spend time together as often as we used to and he is back to being a good friend.
DD: Heather, Father, thank you, oh gods above, thank you! I realize the wrongs, my love, you know the signature of the demon tongue, you know to stay away when he is near and I pray that you and my father and the brothers who will are able to and will help rid me of this beast once and for all because with freedom’s call I cannot let him control me again. There is no way on hell or earth I will succumb to his hold again, my dear. I almost lost you both and my own life as well. I have put you all through hell and I will not knowingly bring that back to you. All this time Heather, you were there fighting for me and father, you believe in me so much as to let me be freed from the shains that bound my mind for months. Thank you both, I can’t thank you enough for all you do for me. Dear God I can’t believe this is happening. Do you know what this means? I am free now! Free to be your brother, your friend, your healer. I will still always watch over you even if it is not my title as I know you are also watching over me. I shall make a new home for myself now, one in the mountains where you both are welcome to rest or reside. Do come with me now and help me build and bless my new home. <Speechless…> Thank you so much… <Embraces…>
IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE ASTRAL PREGNANCY, AND FOR A CHILD TO BE BORN IN THE PLANES...
MA: It is truly a blessing and the most magical thing I can give you. I know you desire a child with him but cannot do so safely. I give you this child to have as your own and she shall be infused with my blood within the two of you. Here I will take care of you all, for you are all of me and this shall be the next in the line of P... and certainly the most pure for she shall not know the horrors of the physical world. She shall be pure of our blood and strong of our mind, wasting nothing to earthly intervention. In your womb shall she grow, free from the poisons of the world and bathed in pure energy from the light of my love unto you and from the light of your love for each other.
HN: And... if DR didn’t want this?
MA: But you did, my dear. All children come as a surprise and if DR should not want you to bear this child, then rest knowing that I shall not step down from your side throughout this beautiful event, not during her creating, not after her birth and not into her adulthood for as long as you want me in your life and in hers, I will be there to guide, to protect, to care for and to love you both. I would hope though that DR would welcome this circumstance and see it as a blessing that can be created between the worlds. He should not reject her, for it is from his loins that her life sprang forth. She is also of him. She is of all of us and as such, our little G... will prove to be an extremely powerful addition to the P... clan. She is borne of magic and of magic shall she live. DR will father her in magic. You will mother her in magic. She will be my daughter and granddaughter all the same and shall be cared for in magic, the sum of our energies combined into one perfect little girl. Three energies, three times the power of the magic of which she was created and three times shall her strength be above us all when she grows to harness all that she is made of.
HN: And here?
MA: There will be no sickness or symptom, for this new child is purely of the planes. If you wish, you can open yourself to the miracle that sleeps within you, feel her kick as she grows, hear her soft cry in your sleep, feel the light growing within you. If DR is accepting, I shall wish to announce the news at once, for this is a blessed occasion that calls for much celebration. A new P... shall arrive and who more deserving to be her parents than you and my wonderful DR? The two children who remain in my highest regard, who have been strong and proven their loyalty, and as of yet have not seen fit to try and make me insane. Who better than you, I ask, to carry on the name given you at birth? Among us, she shall be revered as the purest of the bloodline and she shall be treated as such for never in my line has a child been born as pure as our G... will be. Do not fear, either of you, for you are all well cared for and when you arrive here permanently, you will know the full extent of my love for you both. Your daughter will know you still when you arrive for good and you will carry on as if you had only moved your home. My blessings pour out upon you both, for you are the way it was meant to be.
PLAYFUL CONVERSATION WITH MY FAVOURITE BROTHER... SPEAKING ACROSS THE VEIL
AND THERE ARE INDEED HORSES IN THE ETHER...
I: DD, my brother, always by my side
like no other, in you I confide
DD: standing TALL and standing proud,
you’ll always find me in a crowd
I: DD, that was stupid.
DD: I know, but you make such a fuss about your height, I thought it would make you feel better to remind you that I am taller than you.
I: True, at least you’re not short like RW.
DD: <Snickers> You are precious.
I: No, I’m evil.
DD: Sometimes, but it looks good on you.
I: Alright, sassy.
DD: <Snickers.>
I: So did we actually make it there last night? I remember my horse not wanting to cross planes.
DD: Yes, RW said you left her at the water’s edge. An you made the mountain come down to you because you were too tired to climb it. Oh – and thank him for the wine for me.
I: I will. <He nods, “No problem, brothers to the end.”>
DD: He is coming up to be a fine young man. It is good for you to be around him. You keep him in line.
I: And he watches over me as well.
DD: Yes, we all do, love. We all have different reasons for looking out for you, but in the end, you are well-protected.
I: And I’m grateful for it. I wish I had come to know you sooner.
DD: I do as well, but it was not the right time. Besides, you had MD. And your guide. They led you in the right direction.
I: Well, I’m sure MA had something to do with it too.
DD: Not as much as you would think. You had your own learning to do and your own decisions to make. Nevertheless, when [dragon familiar] led you to the crossroads, I am glad you made the choice that you did.
I ASK MA ABOUT MY PASSING, MY FINAL REQUEST TO HIM, AND ABOUT LIFE IN THE ASTRAL REALMS AS COMPARED TO THE PHYSICAL REALM
And so he tells me:
“I know you are worried that when you pass it will be over for you. Be aware that we are all aware of your final wishes and we will carry them out as you have requested. In respect of your request, Circle elders, including myself, will retrieve you the moment you pass. We will know it is time because you are tightly bound to us in a group mind and soul. In the time it takes you to take your final breath we will already have been waiting by your side. You will not have a moment without us, dear.
"Be prepared when it is your time. At first there will be darkness and then a white light will surround you. In the light, you will see shadows. They will be us – myself, N..., O... and possibly ST and WA. You will recognize me immediately, as you have known me intimately. You will also recognize O, as you have seen him as well.
"Just remember when you pass, you have a choice. You can either come with us or go your own way. You will recognize me because you will see my face and I will call you by your real name and your clan name. Jylsamynne. You will not see other beings, only a stairway of light. The only people you will see will be those of your clan, of the Circle of (private). It is your choice of which way to go. Only if you ask us to take you will we do so."
Say I: I’m asking you, take me. In that moment, take me. This is my choice made.
MA: "It will be done, and it is written on your scroll. At the moment of the crossroads, we will take you to the temple grounds. When you arrive at the Temple, we will let you rest as long as you need to, for it will be a tiring trip for you. It will only take a few moments, but it is a long way.
"When you have rested, I will help you become practiced at planes walking since it will now be easier with you here. You will not be without me for a moment until you are comfortable here and want to venture out on your own.
"Yes, DD will be allowed to spend time with you here. He has not been banished from the grounds, only removed from the Circle and its practices. You may spend as much time with him as you wish and when you are ready, you may travel with him and travel to the places you visit now.
"Travel will be as easy for you here as it is for you there now. All it takes is the will and the energy to get there. You will not get lost. You will have a strong connection to the Temple Grounds and to the Circle and you will always be able to come back here no matter where you travel to.
"Sights and sounds will be as vivid as they are for you now in the physical world. You will not see many differences in physical sensations here. You will see, hear, smell, taste and touch just the same here as you do there with the only exception being you will be much more sensitive to energy patterns.
"In your remaining time in the physical world, try to learn all you can about the astral. It will help you to not be so scared when you arrive. I promise I will not move you anywhere but here and I will not leave your side. We will bring you immediately to the Temple and your home will be here with us. It will be fine, love. Do not worry. I will not let anything happen to you that is against your wishes."
