A Field Guide to Identifying Unicorns by Sound
a blessing to talk with a unicorn. —N. J. W. Mitchell, Hannah, the Witch, and the Unicorn (2002) ![]() Here’s a secret: expert unicorn spotters can “see” more unicorns, per capita, with their eyelids shut than the average person can see with eyes wide open. That’s because they have an intimate friendship with the sounds unicorns make. As you concentrate with eyes closed and mind focused, you may detect the telltale song of the unicorn, announcing the presence of the venerable creature and beckoning you to begin your quest. When you open your eyes, the unicorn may not be immediately visible, but you’ll know where to start looking. ![]() Mystics from time immemorial have believed the alphabet to encapsulate divine creative power. This illustration from the late 1800’s shows how the entire alphabet is crystallized in a unicorn’s body. It’s little wonder, then, that unicorns are such miraculous communicators. Hearing a unicorn requires time, patience, and “deep listening” skill on the part of the human, and vocal projection on the part of the unicorn. Because we live in a highly visual world, we rarely exercise the full range of our hearing. Yet our ears can detect things that our eyes automatically neglect. By listening as opposed to looking, we can avoid overlooking. Practice can be richly rewarding, whether one is listening for unicorns in particular or neglected delights in general. ![]() They do speak, sir, although not with words. The unicorn sent her thoughts right into my head. I understood her meaning. —L. E. Engler, The Forgotten Isle (2004) A soft gentle voice whispers in your mind as if carried by the breeze passing through the gentle grove. —Pharos, “Crest of the Unicorn” (2004) This free e-book is lovely illustrated and offered in several online formats, such as eco-friendly, black text on white and a page by page version.

According to “The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible,” it defines “tongues,” translated from the Greek word “glossa”: “the tongue; by implication a language, specifically one not naturally acquired.” In other words, the definition implies speaking in tongues is a supernatural occurrence presumably given by the Holy Ghost, also called the Holy Spirit, which is a being of the Trinity — the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Therefore, it cannot be proved that tongues are “real” in a scientific, naturally occurring way. Man gained fame tracking Bigfoot by The Tribune Democrat.

Sumerian Origin Of Humans
This is a video about ancient Sumerian Myths. Zecharia Sitchin is a best-selling author of books promoting the ancient astronaut theory for human origins. He attributes the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to the Annunaki (or Nephilim) from a hypothetical planet named Nibiru in the solar system. He asserts that Sumerian mythology reflects this view, though his speculations are largely ignored by mainstream scientists and historians. Zecharia Sitchin uncovers the lost and hidden archives of the Annunaki: Where did these Anunaki come from? Sitchin says and NASA scientists concur, that there may be a mysterious 10th member to our solar system: The planet the Sumerians called Nibiru. Some interesting bits on the history of the Sumerians and as always: you decide. See also: Pro-Sitchin Planet X: Nibiru Facts Planet X, Nibiru, Anunnaki, Earth Changes?

Taking a Magical Bath doesn't have to be complicated. It can be as simple as running to your local drug or beauty supply and buying a product that is appropriately scented or contains an herb or essential oil.
In some cases you can actually buy tea bags and just toss them in the water. I'm a purist so personally I love to throw the entire herb, flower or vegetable in the bath. It makes me feel like I am Cleopatra having a bath in ancient Egypt or like some kind of wicked harlot getting ready for her Roman Soldier. However if you do decide to get really into the food aspect of this make sure you have some kind of strainer on your drain so that stuff doesn't flow down your pipes. What can I say? Some miracles can be quite "messy". Here are a couple of "quick fixes" for aspiring witches on the run: Read more ... Tuesday, 22. May 2007
Crop Circle Science
Keep your eyes open as the 2007 crop circle season nears! Historical Indications That Crop Circles Are Not "New": Although most people think of the cropcircles as a modern phenomenon (and wonder if modern technology may be responsible), there is some evidence that the circles have been appearing off-and-on for hundreds of years. Here is one of the best-documented accounts: ![]() Drawings of two U.K. crop formations described in 1686 by Prof. Robert Plot. Plot examined multiple such formations and states that the soils "under all of them were much looser and dryer than ordinary, and the parts interspersed with a white hoar... much like that in mouldy bread, of a musty rancid smell, but to the tast[e] insipid." --A Natural History of Staffordshire (1686) More at Other Facts

An Historical Overview of the Whereabouts
An Historical Overview of the Whereabouts of Gnomes and Elves, Fauns and Faeries, Goblins, Ogres, Trolls and Bogies, Nymphs, Sprites, and Dryads
No longer just a visitor in someone else's world, he pushed the wild back from his newly built doorstep. At first, this wasn't a problem. There weren't that many people and everyone else felt that it was only fair to allot them their own half-acre to do with as they wished. Some of them even decided to help out. Gnomes moved into the barn houses and helped with the gardening chores. The devic spirits of the vegetables helped humans better organize their crops and plan rotation; taught them the correlation between planetary and lunar cycles and the agricultural year. They taught them to plant radishes when the moon is in Cancer, harvest when the moon is in Taurus. Many trolls felt that the heaping piles of manure were a change for the better, and decided to stick around too. Read more ... Sunday, 20. May 2007
