144 King Leo
movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Paschal Steiger believed herself to be a reincarnated
extraterrestrial. Kihief, who guided her
through her life, said he was from a place “like
unto Venus” (Steiger and Steiger, 1981). She
took his words to mean that he was from an
otherdimensional counterpart to Earth’s (uninhabitable)
sister planet. Throughout her
lifetime, Paschal Steiger interacted with a variety
of friendly, spiritually advanced space people.
She met the first of them when, as a fiveyear-old
child, she saw a robed being whom
she took to be an “angel.”

King Leo
King Leo is a reptilian being who is descended
from the dinosaurs. He and his fellows live in
an underground kingdom, where they have
resided since just before the catastrophe that
destroyed other life from the Age of Reptiles.
Some have met him in person, but most of his
communications come through channeling.
King Leo got his name from a woman who
prefers to call herself Joy D’Light (sometimes
JoyDLight). Her association with reptilian beings
began on November 7, 1961, when she
and her husband, an air force man, were living
in Oregon. Her husband had left town on
assignment, and it was her first night alone.
That night, from her open bedroom door facing
the kitchen, she saw three bipedal reptilian
beings standing next to her refrigerator.
Six and a half feet tall, they had scaly skin and
spikes down their backs; their eyes were yellow.
Too frightened to leave her bed, she eventually
fell asleep. They were gone when she
woke up; nonetheless, they appeared every
night for two months thereafter. Often they
were waiting for her when she came home
from work. Eventually, she took up a brief residence
with her sister and returned only after
some days had passed. The entities, who had
never harmed her or spoken with her, were
not there.
That changed in 1996 when one showed
up in her house. She was wide awake and not
in her bedroom this time, and she no longer
felt the terror she had originally experienced.
The being spoke for the first time, assuring
her that he and his companions had never
meant to harm her; they were just interested
in her. He vanished after a few moments. On
another occasion this being or one much like
it showed up briefly on the television screen
while she was surfing channels. The following
year, one appeared for about five minutes before
disappearing without communicating.
One day in July 1998, she lay down to rest
when instantly she found herself transported
to an underground kingdom. The ruler, who
was standing in front of her, initiated a conversation,
during which he told her that originally
the reptilian race had been dinosaurs.
Over time they evolved into smaller creatures,
though their eating habits—they were herbivores—had
not changed. Now they wanted to
return to the surface (“top side,” he called it)
and reclaim their rightful roles as rulers of
Earth. Joy explained that no single individual
rules the surface, that there are many nations
and many leaders.
When she inquired as to his name, he
replied that her tongue would not be able to
pronounce it. He suggested that she make up
a name with which she felt comfortable. She
decided to call him “Leo,” telling him that
“Leo” means “king.” From then on, she addressed
him as King Leo.
King Leo wanted to know what love feels
like, since he and his people had no emotions—though
such feelings are just now
starting to evolve in them. They have a religion;
they recognize the same Creator as surface
humans do.
Joy met him again on August 14, 1999,
when she was taken into the kingdom again.
Leo told her that some of his subjects would
