SOUL VERSE POEM
Sue Penney
LAMMAS
As the sun turns fields to gleaming gold
The corn is milled like days of old
We walk through lazy days of sun
And happiness is easy won
The sky so impossibly blue
We lounge with friends, some old, some new
Nature feeds us from her store
Who could possibly want more
It’s time to reap what we have sown
It’s time to look at what we’ve grown
To meditate on our success
And give to those that have much less
All is easier in the sun
This is time to have much fun
Abandon cares and take a rest
Be thankful for with what you’re blessed
Spend time with loved ones, break your bread
Don’t look back at times of dread
Plan your future, build on now
The universe will show you how
A Soul Verse reading is a message channelled by
Sue in poetry form from spirit. These readings
are totally unique and can be combined with a
healing treatment.

RITUAL FOR LAMMAS
Sue Penney
As we head into full summer, this is the time of
harvest and plenty. It is the time to reap what we
have sown and tended throughout the year so far.
Lammas rituals usually are catered around baking and
eating bread, whether in the shape of a god or just
baking bread for yourself or your family. It is about
using the plentiful ingredients around you that are
there, provided by nature.
At this time of year, food is usually plentiful. My take
on this would be to get your hands stuck into the
dough, knead out your frustrations pound down the
dough and then when it has risen and you knead for
the second time, think on all the positive things that
you want for the coming months.
You could also make some jam from the fruits that
are plentiful, whether, from strawberries that you
have grown in your garden or even better if you can
go and forage for blackberries later in the summer,
the hedgerows are usually teeming with them.
When you make the jam the stirring is a great way to
impart positive energy into your culinary creation. Be
careful not to leave it and let it burn though, and
remember that jam gives some of the worse burns so
if you do splash some on your skin wash it off
immediately with cold water. It’s better to not get any
on your skin in the first place of course!!
You can give the jam as lovely witchy gifts to your
friends and family, as it will be imbued with your
magic charms of love and goodwill.
Why not bake up a storm of bread, cakes, jam tarts
etc and share it with your loved ones around a lovely
midsummer fire.
Happy Lammas!

CRYSTAL INSIGHTS
Sarah Jane Dennis
July
Chrysocolla was named so in 315BC from the Greek “Chrysos” meaning “gold” and “Kolla”
meaning “glue”. Chrysocolla carries the energies of the feminine and is also known as the
“Seeing Stone” used to enhance one’s clairvoyant abilities for seeing past and future events.
Chrysocolla qualities imbue patience, understanding, receptivity, clarity, and peace to name
a few is a very calming stone and helps to alleviate all kinds of monthly menstrual
symptoms, as well as problems with the throat and thyroid, is very supportive through times
of grief and loss, easing the high emotional reactions this brings about, such as anger,
sadness, and disbelief, allowing you to go through the process instilling you with a sense of
self-compassion / acceptance and forgiveness.
Perfect for meditating with, rebalancing all your chakras and realign your connection with
Divine Source.
The channelled message I received…
“ I invite you to come dive deep with me into the energies that can set you free, as I wash away
all the impurities that are holding you back unwillingly, I will bring you a sense of peace and calm,
as we swim through those emotional upsets and harms, trust in me for I shall be that supportive
energy you seek, to cleanse, balance and clear all the debris, and leave you in a place of
acceptance and serenity”
Goddesses/Gods/Angels: Domnu and Venus, Mother Mary, Tzaphkiel, Michael and Haniel

Bumblebee Jasper, also known as Eclipse stone and Fumarolic Jasper. It is a
volcanic combination of anhydrite, Hematite, Sulphur, arsenic, and Manganese
oxides.
If tumbled it should be safe to handle and lay on the clothed body for a healing
session, however, do wash your hands after use and keep it in a little natural bag.
I would not recommend buying this for a child or pet to use. You can also connect
to this crystal by having it on a table in front of you and gazing at it losing
yourself in the beautiful colours and patterns.
This buzzy little crystal carries the energies of the earth’s fire, sun and bees, it is
great to help you re-energize your body and bring you back into focus with
where you are going in life, helping to keep you on track, working towards your
goals and giving you the courage to reach out within your community to ask for
the support you need to achieve this.
Bumblebee Jasper activates the solar plexus chakra, drawing out negativity,
allowing you to clear away old and limiting self-belief patterns, forming a bubble
of protection around this chakra so your precious powerhouse energies are not
drained by anyone else.
The channelled message I received…
“Potent is the energies I hold inside of me, and respect is what you need for me in
order for you to work with me, I will show you where you need to be and awake your
inner fires of creativity, so take a breath and clear your head and trust that feeling in
your gut as this will truly be your guide to successfully living your authentic life.”

Alchemical Voice - L2M Issue 15
FESTIVAL OF LAMMAS
Sarah Jane Dennis
Lammas/Lughnasa also known as the first harvest, is the ancient Celtic Cross quarter
festival celebrated on the 1st /2nd of August at the height of summer and the beginning
of harvest season. The fields shine with a splendid golden glow as their crops of wheat
and grain drink in the last rays from the Sun God Lugh, before they are to be harvested.
The word Lammas means "loaf or Loaf-mass" the festival when we honour and
celebrate the cutting of the first crops of corn whereby loaves of bread are made and
shared with family and friends to celebrate, the plentiful grain and the foods, we have
made from them to keep our bellies full.
Lughnasad is the Irish name for the Sun God/ King Lugh (also known as John Barleycorn
in England) who has shone his energies down to ripen the grain and sacrifices himself
with it as the corn and grain are cut down to feed the people and seed the fertile land of
Mother Earth as they join again, to return next year in the ever-moving cycle of death
and rebirth.
The energy of Lammas is all about abundance and sharing our successes and it is a good
time of year to share some of your wealth with those less fortunate than yourself, by
donating to a charity or helping a friend, neighbour or family member who has fallen on
hard times. This is also a time to acknowledging the personal benefits of reaping what
we have sown throughout the year, from the seeds of our intentions and ideas for the
year that we planted at Samhain, incubating and dreaming of them through the fallow
period of Yule, birthing them into being at Imbolc, watching them grow at Ostara and
blossom at Beltain, ripening during Litha to then reaching their peak at Lammas.
As we begin to feel the benefits of all our hard work and energies we have
put into our projects, work-life and healing ourselves and others,
throughout the year, we will look over our triumphs and challenges and
what we want to keep working towards and then letting go of that which
no longer serves us celebrating our accomplishments during the season of
Mabon in preparation to see the year out and deciding what new seeds of
intentions we will sow again as the wheel turns and begins again at
Samhain, our new year.
So have fun making a ritual Lammas loaf, adding all your love, prays,
gratitude and good intentions as you knead the dough, then share it with
your beloveds. Have a picnic to show your thanks and gratitude for all the
abundance that has come into your life.
Enjoy the long hot balmy nights before the sun begins to wane and the
darker half of the year draws closer.
Make a Corn Dolly to watch over and protect you and your family
throughout the fallow time of the year, remembering to give her back to
the earth at the very beginnings of spring.
Wishing you all a blessed Lammas and may the Sun God and Goddess of
abundance and unconditional love, pour their rejuvenating golden light
rays and gifts into every cell of your being, to bring you all the healing,
love, and happiness you deserve.

GODDESS LIBERATION
Thousands of years ago, across the world... the
Goddess was revered. The feminine aspects
within community, within self, within nature
were honoured and celebrated - this was
essential for keeping the balance and
equilibrium within the tribe or village.
During those ancient times, the Womben
were at the centre. For it was through them
that new life entered, was born and where the
old was released to die. They were Birthing
Warriors, Mothers, Bleeding Goddesses,
Grandmothers.
10

Those who received wisdom through their wombs
as the moon grew full and dark again - illuminating
the cyclic rhythms that they carry within. They
were wild and wise. They were caretakers and
wisdom keepers. They were the first Shamans
("Shamanka") , the Medicine women. They were
Keepers of the Wheel - of Life, Death and Rebirth.
They were the Warriors of the land, the soil, the
seed, with power that they knew how to harness -
not just for themselves but for the collective, who
depended on their psychic wisdom to know how
and when to travel, hunt and settle.
Those Womben would gather together in Circle - to
release, bleed, dance, sing, share. They held one
another as they journeyed through the rites of
passage that every Womban must go through. They
knew how to stand strong - not through violence
but by setting healthy boundaries and speaking
their truth.
The truth is, we all have a Warrior/Heroine within
us. We have all been on the battlefield of life.
Collectively and as individuals.
The energy of this archetype is always with us, it
runs through our blood and penetrates deep into
our bones. Calling out to us to reconnect.
There is a resilience so strong buried deep within
our Wombs sisters (whether you have a physical
womb or an energetic womb space), and there are
going to be times when this world will feel like too
much to bear.
Instead of resisting the pain, or pushing ourselves
until we reach burnout... let's instead gather
together, remember our natural cyclic ways, and
rekindle our connection to the Earth, to our bodies,
to the circle.
We do not need to stand up and fight using the
same flames that have been thrown for centuries.
We can rise into our power from a place of gentle
awareness. Just like the Rose with its soft petals
and sharp thorns, we can be soft in our
vulnerability, whilst also creating healthy
boundaries for ourselves.
No matter what stage of life you are currently in,
remember that you are sovereign. You can be
powerful in every aspect of yourself. For you are a
multifaceted, cyclic being and every stage of your
life is so sacred, for there is wisdom in all of your
life experiences.
Perhaps, one day we'll sit in circle together,
witnessing one another stand in our power as we
share our stories of life on the battlefield.
Amanda Tracey is a Circle Keeper, Ceremonialist
and Earth Based Practitioner, and runs regular
events in and around Oxfordshire, UK.

WHAT IS COLOUR?
Liza Nightingale
This is one of my favourite times of the year! The days
are longer and the sun sits high in the sky. We get
more time to be outside and enjoy nature with all it’s
healing light and vibrancy.
With the intensity of the sunlight, we experience
colour in all its glory. Colour is all around us in the
flowers, the deep greens of the leaves on the trees,
the blue of the sky and sea – and not forgetting the
clothes that we wear, the food we eat and the homes
that we live in.
What is ‘colour’? ……… The Universe is a magnetic
field of positive and negative charges which are
constantly vibrating and producing electromagnetic
waves. Each of these has a different wavelength and
speed of vibration; which together form the
electromagnetic spectrum. The radiant energy of pure
white sunlight is a vital factor in nourishing our minds,
and our spirits, and each ‘colour’ vibration has its own
healing qualities.
Red has the longest wavelength we can see and it has
the slowest frequency of vibration. It’s magnetic
energy is warming and stimulating. Violet has the
shortest wavelength and the quickest vibration. It is
cooling and cleansing.
We don’t just ‘see’ colour, we ‘feel’ it deeply too, as
light enters our body through our skin. The vibrational
quality of each colour has an impact on the energies
within our bodies and also affects our moods and
emotions.
The psychology of colour has always fascinated me.
We often use colour references to describe our
emotions and how we are feeling. For example, when
we are feeling a bit low, we may say we are “feeling
blue”, or when we are angry, we “see red”.
The Chakra System within our bodies also has colours
associated to each of the energy centres. Red for our
Root Chakra, through to Violet or clear White for our
higher Chakras.
Being aware of these colour associations to our
chakras can be helpful if we wear or place colours
over these areas to aid in supporting and healing
them.
12

Wearing a corresponding coloured garment or placing
a piece of fabric over the chakra areas you wish to
focus on, will amplify the vibrational frequency to
boost and rebalance. (I find that having scarves in
different colours is very useful for this purpose). If I
feel that I need to be more grounded and stable in my
very foundations, then I will wear red underwear to
support the Root Chakra at the base of my spine.
Working from the inside out, the colours that we
choose to wear, also support our well-being. The way
that we wear our colours also gives subconscious
messages to those around us.
There is a reason that people in positions of authority,
eg, police officers and judges – wear black and white.
This is the most ‘authoritative’ that you can look.
Whenever there is a big contrast between light and
dark colours, we will always come across more
authoritatively. Sometimes this is useful but when you
are trying to be more friendly and approachable, then
wearing black and white is not a good choice!
By choosing colours that ‘blend and harmonise’ with
our natural colouring, we have a healthy glow and look
less fatigued. The wave-lengths from our most
flattering colours (especially those items worn near
the face), help us to present ourselves with
confidence.
YOU ARE THE GIFT!
Wrap yourself in colours that flatter and give out the
most positive messages you wish to convey to others.
Equally the colours that we decorate our homes in
need our consideration, as they too affect our
physical, emotional and mental health. Especially when
we are in times of stress, ill-health or low mood, by
carefully choosing the colours that surround us, we
are indirectly caring for ourselves.
Some examples of colours in the home are yellow for
study areas as it aids concentration and stimulates the
brain.
Blues and greens are colours associated with nature
and promote relaxation, calm and space – ideal for
bedrooms and the areas where you wish to de-stress.
Lots to consider! Take a breath and really look at all
the colours around you.
13
Perhaps you will look at them in a slightly different
way and be aware of which colours make you feel
vibrant and alive, and those that are not serving you
so well?

Leading with Love
Rehumanising the Workplace
As we emerge from the pandemic, many have begun to raise deep
questions about their working life. People are seeking meaningful work
where they are valued and respected rather than treated as a cog in a
machine. Increasing numbers of people are seeking greater work-life
balance and are realising that their levels of wellbeing are significantly
affected by the working environment. They want managers and leaders
who are approachable and trustworthy and who can act as mentors and
coaches in the workplace.
This book presents original research based on leaders who were
nominated by their people for leading with love. It shows that leading
with love is something that is practised by leaders who are more
emotionally, morally, and spiritually mature. Leading with love is a sign of
psychological maturity, whilst leading with fear is a sign of hindered
emotional and spiritual development. Fusing the research with ancient
spiritual wisdom, as well as the latest findings in developmental and
transpersonal psychology, the book presents a simple framework to help
leaders develop their psychological maturity and offers practices that
will enable them to lead with love.

ORCHID AND DANDELION
CHILDREN
Sarah Emerson
Have you ever wondered if your child is
predisposed to sensitivity or resilience? Or have
you wondered why you feel more sensitive to the
world around you than others?
Dr. Thomas Bryce - professor of paediatrics &
psychiatry at the University of California - has
spent decades researching children’s responses to
stressors in their environment, and believes there
are two broad groups - which have been given the
descriptive metaphors of dandelion and orchid
children.
The idea is that some children are like dandelions -
they can thrive anywhere and are pretty hardy.
Those described as orchid children are more
susceptible to the impact of their environment. It’s
the combination of nature & nurture - orchid
children are neurologically more predisposed to
find the world overwhelming & stressful - but the
good news is that how we nurture them can make
all the difference.
Orchid children are the sensitive ones amongst us.
They can either really thrive or really struggle,
depending on their environment. They can be shy,
find change tricky, and are sensitive to the impact
of the environment around them - this might be
noise, busy-ness, or stress. Dandelion children are
more naturally resilient, and cope with stress more
easily. They form the majority of children, while it’s
thought around 1 in 5 children are orchid children.
16

When parents realise they have a sensitive child,
they often want to know how can they can help
their child adjust to the world. It’s an important
question because whereas dandelion children
seem to have a natural resilience to stress, for
more sensitive children, the environment and the
way they are responded to makes big a difference.
Dr. Bryce’s research found that with the right
nurture, orchid children can truly thrive.
Here are some tips for supporting a sensitive
child…
Accept them for who they are - we can’t
change who they are and if we try to “toughen
them up” we risk actually damaging their wellbeing
and making them less likely to handle
life’s stresses. If we focus on providing an
environment that helps them to feel confident
in who they naturally are, they can learn to use
their sensitivity in a way that works for them,
not against them.
Focus on connection & empathy - they thrive
on it and need it to feel nurtured and soothed.
As with all children, when they experience
empathy and nurture, they will learn about
compassion for others, and about selfcompassion
too.
Help them to learn about emotions, how to
express themselves & how to self-regulate.
This will help them when they are
overwhelmed by other people’s emotions or
by their own.
Help them to know what their environment
can do for them - it will be important for them
to understand when a smell or noise has
caused them to feel overwhelmed, and for
them to know what changes they can make to
their environment to help.
Enable them to live in & understand their own
window of tolerance. We need to help them
feel brave enough to step out of their comfort
zone so they can develop their confidence
while recognising when a situation or
environment is overwhelming and knowing
how to manage this.

consultancy, and offers an online store for toys, books and
resources to support children’s emotional well-being.

HUNDRED MONKEYS -
HUNDRED HUMANS
John Sjovik
A few years ago, I visited Glastonbury. I had lunch in a café
called Hundred Monkeys. I did some research on the name
of the café and realised that there is a lot to that concept,
especially in an extended meaning.
There is a theory that when the population of a group
exceeds a certain number of individuals, any new
knowledge or change of behaviour in that group will
influence other groups to acquire the same skill or habit.
In the early 1950s, scientists studied the behaviour of
macaque monkeys on an island in Japan. One group of the
monkeys started to wash their food. The new behaviour
spread within the group by monkeys watching what others
did and then picking up the same habit. Then something
remarkable happened. When the number of individuals in
the group who had learned the new behaviour exceeded a
certain quantity, the behaviour quickly spread to groups of
macaques on nearby islands. The point is that this spread
of knowledge happened without any physical contact
between the groups of monkeys. How can this be
explained? Was it merely coincidence? Or maybe some kind
of unconscious connection? Does Carl Jung's theory of the
collective unconscious apply also to animals and not only to
humans?
I should add that the Hundred Monkeys theory is debated,
as you would expect it to be. However, it does trigger some
interesting thoughts on the dissemination of new ideas,
behaviour and even values. The more people who educate
themselves, the easier it will be for even more people to
follow. That way, we will evolve and improve as a species.
What is even more intriguing is if the Hundred Monkeys
theory is applied to prayer and meditation. If we do
ceremony for peace and love, and we do it with sincere
intention, then maybe we can influence other people to feel
love and compassion in their hearts. We do not even have
to meet them, our passion will travel from mind to mind,
from heart to heart, from our unconscious to that of others.
So let us join in a Hundred People effort to disseminate
love and respect among our fellow humans throughout the
world.
By the way, I do recommend the cafe in Glastonbury.

Carol Coggan
We saw in June, at the summer equinox, the longest
day. It is also the start of the summer months -
being June, July and August.
July for me is a month of flowers, an abundance of
fruit and vegetables everywhere. We still have the
lovely long days, and the sunshine, this all helps
maintain our energy levels. I have before mentioned
energy indirectly, as we benefit from the seasons,
but more specifically think about your energy levels
daily. Consider a continuum/gauge between 0 to 10.
How are you feeling? What are your energy levels?
if we can maintain positive energy levels, then we
can manifest more of what we want. What we think
about, affects what our feelings are and this all
affects our behaviour.
The summer months enable us to get out more, and
benefit from the beauty around us. For me it is
roses, whilst not going into the language of flowers,
I do know that roses symbolise love. As we look
around in July, we have the sunshine, the flowers
and abundance, all reminding us that we are loved
by the Universe. As we look at all around us, then
our thinking becomes more positive, we feel better,
and we are more energised to act/behave in the
direction of our vision.
I am going to ask Archangel Uriel to be with me
specifically this month. His aura is pale yellow/gold
and his name means the “Light of God”. He is often
known as the intellectual Archangel, as he will give
you information, ideas and thoughts on any topic.
He is the “ideas“ Archangel, and he will transform
my ideas and enable me to raise my thoughts to
ones of positive energy. He will guide me on the
path that I should take.
We move into August, what does August mean for
you? As a child, August seemed to be long hot
summers, off school and enjoying myself. As we
grow older we tend to see the past with rose
coloured glasses - were the summers really long and
hot? Not really. I remember them as holiday times, a
time for fun. It is important that we do not lose this
as an adult. What can you do for fun in your life?
Keep considering your energy continuum, and
maintaining high positive energy. If you want to
change your energy/feeling from low to higher then
pause, take time out and see an image of a positive
time. It may be looking at a picture, your garden, a
flower, anything to interrupt your low energy
thinking. Then think about when you last had fun?
and more importantly, what are you going to do to
bring more fun into your life.
I will ask a range of Archangels to help me with this.
I have Archangel Uriel for positive ideas. I will ask
Archangel Jophiel for her positivity and to see
beauty in everything. I will ask Archangel Gabriel for
fun. Archangel Gabriel works with children and
encourages us not only to nurture children but also
our inner child. It is our inner child that wants to
have fun. I know in August I have booked a friend's
cottage, by the sea. Friends will come and visit and
we will all have fun.
Whatever Archangel you choose to work with, they
are all there for you, along with your Guardian
Angel(s). If you are “stuck”, fearful and low energy
then don’t hesitate to drop me an email, and with
the help of the Archangels and your Guardian
Angels we will move you forward.

UNUSUAL PHENOMENON OF
TWO CROP CIRCLES
Kathy Mingo
Crop circles have been appearing all over the
world for many, many years. The most active place
for these to occur are the wheat fields in Wiltshire
near the sacred sites of Stonehenge, Avebury
stone circle and Silbury hill. Thousands of crop
circles, or formations as they are also called, have
appeared in Wiltshire and I have dedicated most
of my summer two week holiday to chasing these
formations. I am a crop circle veteran now and
though I still get a strong feeling when going into a
circle, it is more about the majesty and purity of
the Wiltshire landscape that keeps the Crop Circle
phenomenon alive. Strange things happen in the
circles and there is no doubt that something else
drives the energy in these beautiful wheat designs.
When you enter a crop circle the energy shifts, the
wheat is not cut as some believe, but actually
flattened or sometimes interwoven. The true
impact of the design can only be seen from above.
Orbs and BOLS (Balls of light) have been
witnessed by many in glyphs and to see a military
helicopter in pursuit of these is also not
uncommon.
This is a huge topic to cover in this article. If you
want more information there are many sites that
cover this extensive field and you can see on
YouTube many drone pilots who video the
formations.

Alchemical Voice - L2M Issue 15
How they are made is a bone of contention in the
CC world. Theories from alien craft, earth energies
to they are all manmade float about in forums and
chatrooms across the globe.
Personally, how they are made is not important, as
we miss the point of the interaction with etheric
energy if we fixate on the application of them.
Manmade or not, there is a paranormal attachment
to this phenomenon which this article will
highlight.
I wanted to share with you all a wonderful event
that happened in synchronicity and manifestation
in 2013.
The following account is written by a scientist
from Australia, who is interested in crop circles
and how they occur. I believe a symbiosis between
observer and maker happens, whether they are
manmade or not. The report is real, and we believe
that we manifested a formation through thought
and request alone, only you can decide for
yourselves. There have been many reports of
groups of people "ordering" by thought and desire
certain geometric shapes that have ended up as
crop formations within the next few weeks. Are
we conversing with consciousness, or are we
telepathically tuning in to human circle makers'
designs?
The unusual provenance of two crop pictures on
August 1, 2013 at Milk Hill, or on August 6, 2013
at Monument Hill: could there be any psychic
crop artist-to-human interactions?
On the night of July 31, 2013, four interested
individuals (Kathy Mingo, Dee Canton, Brian
Lester and Stephanie Lester) decided to try and
“manifest” a new crop formation for the following
morning.
They went at 8 PM to a small hill which lies close
to Monument Hill (Etchilhampton) near Devizes,
then asked psychically until 10 pm for either of
two images that had been Channelled to Kathy,
to appear in the field below, on the following
morning: They asked for the formation directly
opposite where they were sitting. A Channelling
occurred that evening and they were told about
TRUTH, and to use the symbol channelled to
Kathy a year ago called the truth symbol. (see
photo below)
On the next morning of August 1, 2013, Kathy
and Dee returned to the same field and were
disappointed to find that nothing had appeared
there. Yet 10 km away on top of Milk Hill, a
beautiful “star” image had appeared in the crops,
with a shape like both two images which they
manifested. (This formation was not there the day
before). Five days later the morning of August 6,
2013, something else strange happened. In the
same field location where they had requested a
“star” crop picture, below where all of them had
been sitting on the night of July 31 (marked with
a heavy black arrow below), another new and
spectacular crop picture appeared near
Monument Hill: Kathy informs me that the first of
two symbols requested by her group (with two
overlapping V-shapes) means “truth”. That is
something in short supply for the year 2013. If
the crop artists have really given us some “truth”
(indeed they wrote in 2002, “we oppose
deception”), it would be wonderful indeed.

Regression through shamanic healing and practices Metatronic Healing. Despite her phenomenal abilities,

'Path to where...' photo by John Sjovik
Protective armour
FEAR: WHAT
IT IS AND
WHAT CAN
BE DONE
ABOUT IT
J o h n S j o v i k
S h a m a n H e a l e r
28
When I was a boy in Sweden, I was fascinated by the
American Wild West. Someone had managed to find
a copy of RED RYDER – Ranch Comics, with a story
called “Fear hid the secret of ‘THE EMPTY FORT’!”
This particular issue was from 1958 and the cover of
the comic book showed a cowboy, struggling through
a sandstorm on his way towards a mysterious fort. He
was walking, holding a Winchester rifle in one hand
and holding up his other hand in an attempt to cover
his face from the blistering storm. You could see a
combination of fear and determination on his face.
The image of the cowboy made a powerful impression
on me. I was ten years old and life was riddled with
insecurity, confusion and anxiety. There was tension
in my home and school was nothing but a disaster
zone. In moments when I needed strength, I would
pick up the comic book and look at the cowboy.
Somehow he must have lost his horse and there were
no other people in the picture. He was all alone in a
hostile environment, yet managed somehow to find
the strength and courage to keep moving, without
looking back or trying to hide. I wanted to emulate
his resolve. In my imagination, I would pull on my
riding boots, strap a gun belt around my waist, put on
my hat and grab the Winchester. This outfit became
my armour to protect me from everything that I
feared.
Maybe it was fear that made me put on that imaginary
armour? You cannot walk through life wearing
armour all the time. But there are periods, where
some sort of protection is necessary to make it
through the day. Fear and worry can be catalysts for
you to protect yourself. In that sense, fear is
necessary for survival.

Thoughts on fear and the control of it
In this text, I express my own thoughts and experience.
My words are not based on research in books and
studies. So please do not see this article as a result of a
scientific study.
There is a lot written about the subject of Fear. This
article does not aim to be a compilation of ideas and
theories from multiple sources. Psychology,
behavioural therapy, Reiki, shamanism, hypnotism and
many more all have their own approaches and methods
for providing explanations and for helping people deal
with fear.
We can also find a semantic difference – a gradual shift
– between fear, worry, concern, anxiety and similar
concepts. The linguistics alone would provide enough
material for a separate article.
My text is highly personal. It draws on my own
experience and is based on my own interpretations of
fear, from a spiritual point of view. And it is about my
own thoughts on how to deal with fear, how to contain
it and how to find ways to not allow it to overwhelm
you and define your life.
If you were completely fearless, you probably would
not have survived for very long in an indigenous
society. Fear compels you to think twice, to reconsider
a situation and then take due action.
Regrettably, fear can also paralyze you, like the
proverbial rabbit trapped in the glare of the full beam
of the approaching car. You need to educate yourself
about your personal reactions to fear, emotional,
mental and physical. You need to make fear into, if not
your friend, at least your partner. Build a relationship
with it and realize that fear can be of great help to you,
not just as a protection (fight or flight) but also as an
instrument to assist you in making informed choices.
Keep in mind that everything is energy. That includes
thoughts and feelings. As I see it, energy has a neutral
charge. It is what you do with it that matters. If you
view fear as energy, you can use it to make you
stronger, more resilient, more determined and focused.
Someone said that you cannot feel fear for the past
(“Fear is forward. No one is afraid of yesterday.”) That
may be true to some extent, but that certainly does not
mean that you can not be affected by feelings you had
in the past. Keep in mind that worry is something we
create. To some extent, it is a choice. Fear on the other
hand is a beast. It attacks us and we need to find ways
to control it. In a normal situation - as if there are
normal situations – fear is a reaction to an immediate
danger. Fear will “stiffen the sinews and summon up
the blood” to reminisce Shakespeare and Henry V.
Such a reaction may be purposeful just before a battle.
It could be quite damaging in regular life.
29

The poet Khalil Gibran wrote these words on fear:
It is said that before entering the sea
a river trembles with fear.
She looks back at the path she has traveled,
from the peaks of the mountains,
the long winding road crossing forests and villages.
And in front of her,
she sees an ocean so vast,
that to enter
there seems nothing more than to disappear forever.
But there is no other way.
The river can not go back.
Nobody can go back.
To go back is impossible in existence.
The river needs to take the risk
of entering the ocean
because only then will fear disappear,
because that’s where the river will know
it’s not about disappearing into the ocean,
but of becoming the ocean.
We all need to overcome our fear of Fear, and learn how
to control it or we might never be able to reach the
ocean.
Memories can trigger fear
Let us suppose that a fire-breathing dragon is running
towards you at a full ferocious speed. You will
undoubtedly experience fear. Fear is in the now, it is a
momentary feeling triggered by an instant threat. An
interesting question is how you will feel a few weeks later
when you think about the situation and try to remember
it? Will you feel fear again or maybe get feelings of a
lesser degree of intensity?
Memories of past events can sometimes trigger a
renewed sense of fear. Suppose an event in the past
created fear. Is it possible that something from that time
stayed in your memory as a potential “trigger”?
When the trigger is activated, you will once again feel
fear. This is a form of conditioning. A sound, a colour, an
object, a place or even a situation can bring back a sense
of fear. The trigger or memory can be hidden deep within
yourself, resting in your unconscious. You may not be
aware of it. Then, when the trigger is activated and you
are struck by fear, you may be quite confused about your
feelings.
Logically, there is nothing fearsome there, yet you
suddenly have that feeling.
30

This can be quite detrimental but it can also be a good
thing because it could make the healing process easier.
As I mentioned previously, I found my situation in
school quite scary. My stress subsided on Fridays and I
felt anxiety during the weekend but not fear. Sunday
night was always bad because it meant the end of the
weekend and Monday next morning. My family always
watched a show on television on Sunday nights. It was
a café style family program and very laid back. My
mum and dad loved it. I hated it because it was time for
bed after the show ended and then only mere hours
until Monday. The show had its own theme song and
for many years, simply hearing it would immediately
bring back the feeling of Monday fear within me.
There are film reels from the time of World War 1 that
show soldiers in hospitals receiving treatment for shell
shock or PTSD, as the modern term is. I particularly
think of a soldier who was shown an officers cap by a
nurse standing next to him. Instantaneously, the poor
man began to shake uncontrollably and quite violently.
The sight of the officer's cap triggered a memory of
being ordered to leave the relative safety of the trench
and “go over the top” to attack the enemy only to face
machine gun fire and witness his friends being shot to
pieces in the mayhem and madness of war. The sound
of the officer’s whistle could have the same effect.
Imagine many years later, if this man was invited to
see a football game and he heard the referee blow the
whistle...
Memories of fear from past events can possibly result
in the paralysing notion of “what if”? Suppose the
memory lies dormant, in the unconscious? Let us go
one step more and think about “memories” of fear
from past lives? What if something bad happened to
you in a previous incarnation? Could that trigger a
sense of fear in your present life? Maybe this could
explain a feeling of terrible unease that some people
feel in a certain situation or even with certain items?
Suppose you were murdered by someone stabbing you
with a bread knife in a past life. That could explain an
otherwise inexplicable fear of bread knives.
A very interesting question is if fear can be caused by
other peoples’ experiences and memories? Would it be
possible for someone to experience a seemingly
inexplicable fear as a consequence of a dramatic event
that happened to somebody else, somebody you do
not know or who is not even part of your own
demographic, cultural and regional background?
Such trauma could enter the collective unconscious
and affect other people. In such a case, fear could be
similar to an ancestral curse or even a collective curse
that affects the whole community. Some examples are
fear of snakes and wolves, fear of darkness and fear of
open spaces.
31

How to treat fear
It is important to approach the many aspects of fear
with an open mind and free from any preconceived
ideas. For a treatment to be successful, we need to
consider the root cause of fear and not just the
symptoms.
Allow time for the treatment and healing process. The
root cause or causes could date back to your ancestors
or to one of your previous incarnations; it could be a
past life experience. Your sense of fear might well be
caused by an event unknown to you and now hidden
within your unconscious mind. There could be an
unbalance in the collective unconscious of the group
you belong to, be it cultural, geographical or defined in
some other way. Or the fear you sense can trace back
to something that happened in your childhood or later
in life. Whatever the root cause is, it needs to be
addressed properly and with a sense of compassion.
It is vital that fear is treated by someone who has the
right experience and skills for such work. Do not try it
on your own. Meditation and similar methods can
certainly make you calmer. However, make sure you
select the right type of meditation. There are a lot of
free meditations available online. I have found that
some of them could actually serve to bring down your
consciousness levels so you end up feeling like you
need more help from the very meditations that are
'hurting you'. The guided meditations I recommend are
those that have been kinesiologically tested and hold
high levels of consciousness. Do some research and
look for someone who is experienced and offers
meditations that have been tested and show proven
results. As usual, I strongly advise the reader to check
the listings in Alchemical Voice Magazine for a
practitioner near you. For example, Love 2 Meditate
offers a range of online meditations that have been
tested by a Kinesiologist to have high levels of
consciousness.
Do not hesitate to ask for help.
A recurring sense of fear can be quite debilitating and
eventually cause illness. There are many possible
approaches and healing modalities. Find a practitioner
who you feel comfortable with. A sense of rapport
between the two of you is more important than the
method the practitioner uses in the healing work. If
your practitioner realizes that you need medical care
from your local GP or from NHS, then he /she will tell
you that.

Part 4: Our Medicine Man speaks
Part 5: The Eagle calls
Part 6: “For the sakes of our children’s children’s children”
Part 7: The sticks for the Grandmothers
Part 8: Gogogama speaks
These stories originated in a past life experience
PART 1 & 2 SUMMARY
Kwekwe is an inspired leader and time spirit. He is leading us, his
people, along the coast to where he believes the Sun God will be
turning to our left when rising out of the sea instead of to our
right.
We have reached a wide, mighty river with many small islands. We
cannot even see the other side of the estuary and decide to make
camp. A group of elders has designated one island with glee-glee
trees and scrum-scum bushes as our sacred meeting place. Our
medicine man Oo-oo-warawara stays there.
PART 3: "THE GODS ARE PLAYING WITH US
When I arrive, Kwekwe is talking animatedly about how we
must all cross the mighty river because here the Sun God is too
fierce during the day and in his vision the Sun God is lower in
the sky and casts shadows back towards the land from which
we came – even at midday. He tells this story:
“Today, I was walking with our strongest three hunters by the
edge of the mighty stream on the farthest long island. Nqunqu
saw a fallen tree float onto the beach and jumped up and down.
He said the tree was sent by the Forest God to help us. And his
father’s spirit reminded him of how he climbed trees to look for
pray animals when he was a boy. His father told him how he
could look for a way across the river with this tree.
“So Nqunqu climbed onto the log. Then he pushed it into the
river directly away from the beach where we were standing.
When he could no longer walk on the bottom, he lay on the
tree and pushed the water with his hands.
36

“We saw him heading towards the middle of the river and we
were clapping and ululating our thanks to the Forest God for
giving us this way of crossing. Then suddenly the tree with
Nqunqu on top was swept away to our right towards the big
sea. We saw him fall off and we all held our breath and kept
our spirits close and ready to reach out to our brother. Then
we saw his head come up again and he was holding the tree
and pushing fast against the water, trying to get back to us.
The current was too strong, and we ran the length of long
island trying to keep up with him in the water. He was getting
closer to the beach.
“We were about to give up as we got to the end of our island
and my two brothers started wailing. Then I spotted that there
was another island further into the stream. I prayed to the
water spirits and then saw how Nqunqu’s log had slowed. It
caught on a sandy strip that was sticking out from the main
island and, in the distance, I saw Nqunqu stagger up out of the
water and drop onto the dry land, letting the log continue its
journey out to sea.
“’Oh, how the gods are playing with us’, I said to the other two,
wailing and laughing now.
“We nearly drowned ourselves getting to that other island and
had to half carry Nqunqu all the way back to his shelter and his
woman.
“Still, respected elders, I am telling you this story, because
maybe, maybe the Forest God was giving us a sign that we can
still use. Maybe two men on one tree will be strong enough to
push the water and cross this river and find our way to our
destiny.”
There is silence…
… until the oldest man speaks:
“And what about the children?
“What about our two women who are with child?
“And,” a tone of quiet, old anger begins to arise at the
impatience of Kwekwe, “and what about us older men and
women who are too weak to push the water….?”
There is silence again.
And then a few murmurs of assent from the older men and
women.
Kwekwe’s face grows hot and he keeps his peace.

The Reluctant Medium
A Medium's journey
A touching, true story of one woman's journey to suppress her
mediumship and psychic abilities so as to conform to her upbringing and
the World. As a child, Jane would fear the dark as she would clearly see
spirits and the afterlife. She learnt, to the best of her ability, how to
suppress her gifts until she met a healer, who unbeknown to her was
about to open up Pandora's box and life would never be the same again.
A terrifying and horrific time, where spirits were contacting Jane, day
and night, eager to communicate through her. Petrified by the intensity
of the spirit world, Jane had to seek help and learn quickly how to
control her heightened gifts and was led to Eddie, literally her earth
angel, who treated her with tough love, and guidance, and told her to
pull herself together.
A fascinating read of events that will make you shudder with
goosebumps, giggle, laugh aloud and reduce you, at times, to tears. Jane
in time would learn through determination, healing and acceptance to
truly embrace her true self. An interesting incite into a mediums world,
where two worlds become one.

SURVIVING IN A CONFUSED
WORLD
Silvia Siret
What to write in a time of division, upheaval,
separation, anxiety, strong opposing positions in
science, spirituality, common sense, or any other
themes floating about in our consciousness?
This time I found it very difficult to even decide what
to write about, what stance to hold or to understand
what the readers of this magazine might want to
read. At first, I thought I would address people
supporters with the topic of ‘post-traumatic stress
disorder’. It felt important to offer some education on
this complex and difficult subject because I know that
many don’t have this basic training, which would help
them to be even better listeners. I know it helped me
a lot in my practice to be trauma-informed. It also
helped me to understand myself so much better. But
you know what, you can read it all up in amazing
books, like the one by Gabor Maté, my favourite in
this field, called “When the Body Says No”; or you
can get in touch with me if you want to understand
how trauma ripples out into your system. Admittedly,
my planned essay about PTSD was meant to impress
you. But when I think back at what I have enjoyed
reading in the past, it was vulnerable writing, and
hearing about real experiences. So, I decided to give
you a bit of my own process within these challenging
times, and how my own unresolved stuff has been
coming up for me.
My years from 2004 to 2020 were good ones, with
ups and downs, but good ones. I thought I had it
sussed, the happiness thing. But when Covid-19 hit
humanity, all my unresolved trauma came to the
forefront. Boom! I started to go downhill, mentally
(overthinking), and physically (not moving). Being
extroverted and loving social connection, I felt
overwhelmed with the lockdowns and having to be in
a small space with my partner 24/7; and I was deeply
missing my children.
I looked for guidance on social media and news
channels. Some friends and our children held extreme
positions about the mandates; and any attempt to
talk about things ended in unfruitful, often hurtful
discussions. Polarisation had entered my family
system. Or was it just that it showed, because of us
all being challenged to the core? My mind kept telling
me, “Silvia, you are not good enough. You are a
loser”, and “you don’t know what is right or wrong, so
simply shut up”.
I am in my mid-fifties, a mother of two grown-up
women; a bonus mother to three adult children from
my partner’s former relationship; and grandmother to
an 21-month-old girl. I’ve been feeling the
generational stretch, and that of a patch-work family,
coming from very different backgrounds.
Before I started my self-development journey, my life
was a mess. I was a mess. I had been in several
mentally abusive relationships, and my childhood was
difficult, to say the least. Working on my childhood
trauma resolved a lot for me and brought what I call
‘order’ into my life. My current partner of 18 years is
my friend, lover and rock, and our offspring have all
turned out pretty amazing.
Funnily enough, that is also what I heard several
times in various ways from some friends and family. I
lost a few friendships over differences in opinions, I
fell out and reconciled with some, I lost faith in
humanity, and I even lost hope several times, since.
What has rocked me the most, is my position as a
mother. In that role, I am supposed to hold it all
together, be wise, be positive, be informed, and have
a lot of strength so that the children can all rub
themselves on me in order to feel they are in control.
You hear the sarcasm, I’m sure. It has been an uphill
journey, and I felt I was falling into deep valleys of
hopelessness. I have been feeling emotionally
drained, exhausted, and unable to give any more. I
even let a client down. I felt undone, in pieces.
40

I wonder if any of this resonates with you. It has been
very difficult to hold it all together within me and
within the family and friendships. But the worst is
what I feel when I read or hear the news. Any time I
want to know what is going on in the world, I end up
feeling more stressed and less hopeful for humanity
to survive. As a mother and grandmother, this
troubles me deeply. I want to leave Pacha Mama for
my offspring in a way that they can enjoy and feel
nourished by her.
What can I do to contribute to
Love, Peace, and Growth?
To be honest with you, I am constantly sitting with
this question, as the world seems to keep changing
fast. I think one thing that helps is looking inside in
meditation in order to find my own balance –
basically, lots of self-care. The other thing is to be
mindful of where I am needed. I have also found that
reaching out to a friend can be better than any
therapy. And to remember, it is, after all, the age of
Aquarius, the time for community and technology.
This shows in every aspect of my life. I was very
grateful to have my phone and communication apps
to stay in touch with people. Using social media to
connect and uplift is helpful; looking for the truth in
those places is definitely not. Building community is
what I keep doing. My friend reminded me that I am a
lightworker and that I am also entitled to be held and
listened to now and then. Bless my close friends.
So here it is, my latest contribution to the Alchemical
Voice. I am no hero. I am just another human being
who is thrown by the overload of information,
choices, opposing stances, and the ever-growing
financial pressures. I have just decided to stay away
from any kind of news; to engage in social media only
to shout out to the world how great I am as a
therapist; and to focus my energy on real, human,
physical connection, and communion. The best way I
know to create beautiful relationships is to hold
space for others, while I keep working on my
unresolved trauma; to not react, but to respond; to
be authentic while staying kind at all times, and to
simply keep teaching my mind to love myself just the
way I am.

HISTAMINE - FRIEND OR FOE?
Martin Lewis, Kinesiologist
Histamine has long been thought of by many as a
bit of a pest (especially those that suffer from
‘hay-fever’)! It is broken down (metabolised) by
the precursor histidine, a basic amino acid sourced
from the proteins we consume. Although
technically it is not a hormone, it is released into
some synapses, and also into the bloodstream
where it acts like one.
In reality, histamine (like any other hormone in the
body) is there to help enable the body to function.
If you rely on an anti-histamine during the spring
and summer months, then in actuality there is
something going on in the body that requires
more attention than just taking a drug.
Fundamentally Histamine warns you of an ‘attack’
by something irritating, and enables the mucus
membranes to over-produce mucus, leading to
sneezing and coughing, a runny or blocked nose
and itchy, red or watery eyes.
However, it can also be triggered by the foods you
eat, and (more interestingly) the company you keep!
A 20-year study of 4,000 binge eaters pin-pointed
the most ‘addictive foods’: sugar, fat, flour, wheat,
artificial sweeteners, and caffeine — all foods that
are high in histamine! So why would anyone eat
foods that are ‘bad’ for them?
Studies show that binge eaters, alcoholics, and drug
addicts all suffer from a decrease in the number
and sensitivity of dopamine D2 receptors. This
creates anxiety and the feeling that you have lost
control (of whatever situation you are facing).
The researchers came to the conclusion that
addiction to food and other substances is an effort
to increase the feel-good brain chemical dopamine.
It’s literally a hunger for happiness, a desire to
sparkle and ultimately to feel that you have regained
what has been lost.
Histamine is responsible for the ‘allergic reaction’
that you get with classic ‘hay-fever’.
42

Your body will react if you have a histamine
sensitivity connected to eating beans. I would
recommend avoiding soy and red beans and
seeing how you tolerate other varieties.
If you eat animal protein, you’ll need to stay away
from aged, smoked, or leftover meats; shellfish;
and cheese because of their high histamine
content. Instead, you can increase your lowhistamine
protein by eating a lot of kale, broccoli,
brown rice, and macadamias. Do monitor your
intake of kale, though, as some people have
allergic reactions because it is a histamine
liberator.
Here are some of the foods and beverages high in
histamine or which trigger histamine production
(histamine liberators or DAO blockers):
Look up where you will find a list of food and
further information:
www.mastzellaktivierung.info/downloads/foodlist
/21_FoodList_EN_alphabetic_withCateg.pdf
BROCCOLI, THE HEALING VEGETABLE
Not only is broccoli low in histamine, but it also
delivers a lot of health benefits. Studies show
that broccoli:
Is an anti-inflammatory agent, which lowers
inflammation in the body
Has anticarcinogenic properties to lower your
risk of developing cancer
Is relatively high in protein
Can slow down osteoporosis and help with
arthritis
Supports your immune system
Helps with eye health
Improves kidney function
Protects and heals the heart
Is high in dietary fibre
Pea sprouts, pea seedlings, and pea-sprout
powder are a natural vegan source of nutritional
DAO. Although peas are moderately high in
histamine, some people can tolerate them without
symptoms. If you can do so, they are an excellent
low- fat source of protein (8 grams per cup).
In the absence of a medical condition, those who
suffer from histamine symptoms are dealing with
a histamine overload: i.e. too much drama, too
much alcohol, and too many fermented foods!

EGYPTIAN MYSTERY SCHOOL
OF AKHENATEN
Julie de Vere Hunt
Akhenaten was the first pharaoh of Egypt and
ruled for just 17 seventeen years from 1351-
1344 BC. Before Akhenaten there were only
kings, not pharaohs. Pharaoh means ‘that which
you shall become’.
Akhenaten’s main aim was to break up all the
occult religions and bring the Egyptian people
back to a single religion where they believed in
only one God.
The people worshipped statues, so Akhenaten
had to give them something to worship, so he
gave them the image of the Sun as God.
Akhenaten told the people that the breath of
life, the prana field, came from the Sun. He also
said “In this new religion there will be no more
untruthfulness – we are going to change our art
so it reflects the total truth.”
So during the 18th Dynasty the artists were
instructed to sculpt or paint things just as they
saw it, like a photograph.
Apart from for ceremonial purposes, they were
not allowed to wear clothes, as wearing clothes
was hiding, obscuring the truth.
Akhenaten was over 14 feet tall! He had a long
skinny neck, skinny hands, a high waist, wide
thighs and skinny legs. He married Nefertiti,
who was just 10 foot tall! They had six
daughters. Akhenaten also had a lesser royal
wife called Kiya, who would become the
mother of Tutankhamen.
Akhenaten and his father Amenhotep III ruled
the country together and built a city called Tel
el Amarna from white stones. Akhenaten laid a
stone there which says ‘this is the centre of the
country’. Satellite images confirm this today..
Amenhotep III resigned whilst still alive and
gave the country to Akhenaten.
In ‘Mary Magdalene’s Legacy’, Akhenaten
founded a mystery school – the Egyptian
Mystery School of Akhenaten, the Law of One.
The symbol was the Right eye of Horus. He
brought students from the Left Eye of Horus
(feminine side) Mystery School, graduates who
were +45 years old, into the Right Eye of Horus
Mystery School.
He taught them for 12 years, after which he had just 5 years to
teach them immortality.
When you become immortal, your memory remains intact and
you are conscious from then on. It means you stay in your body
as long as you want (unless you are murdered), when you want
to leave, you leave. This is the Egyptian definition of eternal life
– continuous unbroken memory.
Almost 300 people, nearly all women achieved immortality.
They joined the Tat Brotherhood and later migrated to Masada,
Israel and formed the Essene Brotherhood.
Akhenaten knew he did not have long – the military and the
priests plotted an elaborate scheme to dispose of him, but he
was not concerned because his students would get into the
Akashic Records and be a memory in our DNA.
44

According to Judith Tarr’s book ‘Pillar of Fire’, Akhenaten’s inner circle
faked his death, substituting a slave for Akhenaten’s body, and smuggled
Akhenaten out of Egypt where he went to live in the Sinai desert.
There he became known as a prophet called Mosha aka Moses. After
several decades, he had a vision in the mountains of a burning bush – he
heard a voice impelling him to free the people of Israel who were slaves in
Egypt. He went to plead to the pharaoh and after seven plagues he was
allowed to lead these people out of Egypt.
Just as Moses did in the Old Testament and the same Moses who came
down from Mount Sinai with two tablets of stone. Moses was the giver of
the Law, the One Law, which became the foundation of the Essenes.
Martin Lewis and I tested the level of truth of ‘Pillar of Fire’ and it was over
800 on Hawkin’s scale of consciousness (+700 is enlightenment, so the
Universal Truth).
After Akhenaten’s ‘death’ Tel El Amarna was dismantled brick by brick and
dispersed over the country to ensure there was no trace. His enemies did
not want the people to know that Akhenaten and Nefertiti had ever
existed.
The site of Akhetaten, the city he built and
designed for the worship of Aten, at Tel El
Amarna, was lost from history until the 19th
century when archaeologists discovered some
artefacts buried deep under the ground including
this bust of Nefertiti.
Truth is stranger than fiction…
