Tim Binnall's Women


(heh) Since Richelle and Lesley won't shamelessly promote themselves, I'll do it for them, and promote myself as well.

We all have articles up at Binnall of America.

My Trickster's Realm went up today; it's on Marian Apparitions again: Apparitions and Control. I don't know why I've been having apparitions of the Marian variety on the brain lately, just that way.

Richelle, as usual, has an interesting perspective on things, this time it's the "going green" meme that's the fad now. It's good to be green, as Kermit said years ago, I'm not knocking doing what needs to be done. But Richelle has some good insights, addressing the "evil" side of the whole green thing in A Hero's Dilemma: Green and its Evil Twin. for her Medussa's Ladder column.

Lesley, for her Grey Matters column, writes about the blog on UFO Magazine in UFO Magazine: Online and Blogging ! She's done a great job of getting that going, and it looks great, with lots of bloggers contributing.

Tina Sena (not a contributor here at WOE even though she's been invited -- hint!) writes Heaven Can Wait for her Esoterica column.

But it's not just about us dames. There are other great columnists (yes, I just called us all "great") like Richard Thomas's column Room 101. His current piece is Alternative 3 and the Secret Space Program

And Khyron writes The K Files; the current column is his "summer movie preview."

And as always, there are great podcasts to listen to (for free) so be sure to visit Tim Binnall's site and look around, post in the forums, and listen to some great interviews!

Nothing to do with esoterica

But it does have to do with women so I thought I would mention it here. I added a new blog to my squarespace account - The totally girlie blog. I plan to comment about girlie stuff from time to time, make up, clothes and whatever silly girlie things come to mind. :-)

Marian Apparition Book Arrived!


In regards to my post of yesterday about Marian Apparitions and UFOs; I forgot to mention my book arrived today! Heavenly Lights: The Apparitions of Fatima and the UFO Phenomenon, by Joaquim Fernandes and Fina D'Armada.

I don't get to order any more books for a month or so; budget won't allow. SO many books, so little time . . . and money. :(

I'm reading Redfern's Monkey Man book, as well as Chris O'Brien's Mysterious Valley; when I finish those, it's on to the Fatima book.

The Mimikry-Hypothesis And The Guadalupe Event


As some readers may know, I’m very interested in Marian Apparitions.

Here’s an article that Katharina Wilson posted at her Alien Jigsaw site by Johannes Fiebag, Ph.D from 1997: The Guadalupe Event.

Coming across this article is a bit of synchronicity, since I’m working on a piece that includes an episode of a strange “normal” helicopter appearing in connection with UFOs and UADs. Is it possible that whatever force is responsible for this -- whether it’s ET or what -- mimics what it thinks we’re about, and would recognize?

Dr. Fiebag thinks so. He developed “the Mimikry-Hypothesis” which considers this idea;
The Mimikry-Hypothesis tries to explain the various apparitions and behaviors of possible ETIs throughout the centuries by suggesting that we consider them as virtual manifestations that have been adapted to our cultural-sociological and religions belief systems, as well as our fantasies, imaginations, and expectations.

The article discusses in detail interesting facts about the tilma (the material in which the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe appears.)

Sexist Esoterica

I was spending some time earlier wondering about why there are so few women as compared to men in esoterica.

Yeah, first off is the fact that many women have children and families that come first, but then something else hit me --

All of my life I have been sure that women are really more interested in the paranormal than men. However, being interested and investigating are two different things. It occurred to me that maybe women, unlike men, don't care about trying to seek out the actual answers. I am that way myself, I am attracted by the mystery, not the hope of finding the answers. So instead of being out there trying to dig up clues most women sit happily at home reading books and thinking out their own theories, but not at all caring about publishing or sharing them with others. Maybe for most women it is a personal thing.

Perhaps it has to do with the male survival and domination instinct that more of them are investigating ufos and other paranormal topics. Maybe it is their manly instinct that they feel they have to find out what these things are so they can try to protect against them if necessary. I am not saying that women don't have survival instincts, but probably not at the level of men. I don't believe most women perceive every unknown as a threat, but I think many men do.

I am speaking in broad generalities.

Still, maybe that sounds sexist. It probably does, but I think there may be some truth in it.

Assuming earthmen really do have the need to defend earthwomen -- taking their eggs without the necessary paperwork would be a perceived threat and whether true or not would result in men trying to figure out the entire mess. Women on the other hand know they have plenty of eggs, if a few are taken maybe it is no big deal -- especially if they don't remember it happening.

Now I am sure I am being sexist so I will go away.

Michelangelo 'hid secret code in Sistine Chapel'

Did Michelangelo paint "secret codes" in the Sistine Chapel based on esoteric Jewish symbolism? Did he give the Pope the finger? According to Rabbi Benjamin Blech and Roy Doliner, authors of The Sistine Secrets: Unlocking the Codes in Michelangelo's Defiant Masterpiece, he did. Critics call the book an example of "Dan Brown syndrome" and as attacks on the Church. Read the article here.

This issue also includes an article by me about the Cumberland Spaceman and the Ilkley Moor Alien. Both are old UK cases, from 1964 and 1987 but they still hold fascination for many people. You can read my article on my website at this link.

And over at Stuart’s blog the first paragraph will tell you where you can obtain a copy in the UK, the USA, Ireland, and Europe, or by direct subscription on his site.

Lesley on Aliens in Windows

Lesley's Grey Matters on Binnall of America says the obvious, but it needs to be said. I mean, really, who even for more than two seconds thinks it's a real alien? Lesley makes good points, like the DVD for sale, etc. She also links to Micah A. Hanks' blog,The Gralien Report, a blog I really enjoy. Take a look; good things over there, who has his own take on the alien in the window.

Farting Demons

Richelle wrote, in her Medusa's Ladder column for Binnall of America, a piece about demonologists and ghost hunting. I came along and shamelessly hijacked her article for my Trickster's Realm column at Binnall: Religious Ghost Hunting.

I've received a response to that from someone who says he's a minister. Here it is:
Hi,

Just read your blog. As a Christian Minister I too get ticked off by self important religious people. But in my biz you will always find them regardless of denomination (of course the more conservative the more plentiful and self aggrandizing they are). I have had numerous experiences with "demonologists" and "exorcists". I have even taken a graduate level course of "deliverance". I was astonished to find that I was possessed by over 42 demons. One of them was a demon of flatulence that went by the name "windy". Wow. That explained a lot. I thought that it was just the starchy food at the cafeteria. Some of my colleagues were even "exorcising" their infants because "you never know if a Demon got in before it was dedicated. I shit you not. This was an accredited Seminary. Religious abuse can run rampant when you have an expert manipulator in a position of power.

On the 'reality' side of it, I have had many encounters with what I would call 'demonic' entities. Same type of malevolent spirits you probably have encountered. I've also encountered ghosts and other beings that I have to label 'angels'.

But I have to say though I respect your opinion it does sound a little intolerant. When I was a Pastor in New Castle, Pa one of my best friends was a self proclaimed Satanist. He was a nice guy. I've had a lot of Wiccan friends. I myself could never be one because as a fat man I do not want to scare people by public nudity. We all are trying to embrace the mysterium and explain it in our own context. A lot of Christians can seem to be obnoxious because they want to share their worldview. Just as you do. But I'm afraid in your rhetoric in this blog you almost become the very same thing you disdain. Ridiculing a religion and making fun of people of other faiths is what self important religious people do. It seems you wish Christians to keep quiet. But do you feel the same when it comes to others of your own faith view? What one might call a malevolent spirit another might call it a demon or the devil. They are just labels for the same thing. And we all deal with them as our faith and world view permits. We might not like it, but to mock it is akin to religious bigotry.

But it's your blog. I know that Christians can hurt and judge. Man you would not believe some of the stuff I have seen. If you've been hurt or judged by a Christian I'm sorry. I've been there, in fact I left ministry for over 10 years at one point in my life because I was fed up with judgemental hypocrites. But your generalizations hurt others of us of the Christian faith who are not crazy assholes.

And I guess that's what it comes down to. We all are looking for meaning and transcendence, but along the way we meet a lot of self absorbed assholes.

And those assholes stink.

Have a great week,

Pastor Swope
(a former stinking asshole who learned how to wipe properly)

Well, I didn't mean to come off as intolerant to Christians. I'm not intolerant of Christians. I am intolerant of pompous Christians. I'm intolerant of those who assume every one else; ghost, spirit, the dead, and the living, are going to respond favorably to their religious mechanization's when it comes to ghost hunting.

I know there are malevolent forces out there, believe me. I know there are "angelic" ones as well. I personally don't interpret them in a Christian framework,a nd I don't care if others do. I do care when those that do get all self-righteous and all.

Goodness, was I not clear on that?

Anyway, when I die, and if you think I'm haunting someplace, please do me a favor and refrain from screaming that I'm a demon and wave a huge cross in my ghostly transparent face,or singing Oh Holy Night. Thank you.

Satan, Hell, and the Paranormal

Richelle Hawks has a good piece on Binnall of America for her Medusa's Ladder column: Get Thee Hence, Satan. Why do books with "hell" in the title sell, why do people still want to believe in the hell tripe -- even after being debunked -- and why does Richelle get so annoyed at the satan/devil/demon beliefs and interpretations in the paranormal world? Read it and find out.

By the way, I freely admit that her column was the inspiration for my Trickster's Realm column, which should be up sometime Monday. (How's that for a plug?) I was going to write about MUFON's take on the Stehpenville UFOs, but I just wasn't that jazzed about it.

FROM MARS TO BRAZIL by Farah Yurdozu


FROM MARS TO BRAZIL

by Farah Yurdozu


While Phoenix is looking for the evidence of Extra Terrestrial Biological Life on Mars surface, on our own planet there is another new discovery. An isolated Indian tribe between Brazil and Peru was recently photographed by Brazil's National Indian Foundation, Funai.
Funai never contacts the isolated tribes in order to prevent the invasion their land. As you can see in the pictures men from the tribe were in panic and fear pointing the arrows trying to shot the “Unidentified Flying Object” over their heads. This little group of indians are living in the huts far from the modern, techological world ruled by computers. They are hunters and warriors as far as we can see.


Funai members say that there are 100 other uncontacted tribes worldwide. And they will remain as uncontacted maybe during all their life. Time to time they will observe some huge, fast, unknown, metalic objects flying over their village. They won’t be able to understand but they will name them. Maybe when the mysterious visitors gone, the tribe members will get together and discuss what they saw all together. They will draw the pictures of the flying objects, possibily they will think that they are visited by the Gods. Who knows, probably a new religion has already started based on their sightings.


Some of the tribe members, the ones who bring the best explanation to the mystery will be considered “experts” on the topic. They will exchange information with the neighbour tribes and compare their sightings and experiences with their own. And a legend borns from their angle from their angle of course. And the scary big machines which fly over their huts will never land and contact them. I am sure they don’t understand why?


Do we?

"Sacred Prostitute" - Mary Magdalene


Jules Joseph Lefebvre: "Mary Magdalene in the Cave" 1876

While working on something about birds, Mothman and the BVM (Blessed Virgin Mary) I found this: SACRED PROSTITUTE Mary Magdalene: Was She or Wasn’t She?, which I found very interesting. It's from a site called Sexual Fables.
Over the last 30 years, many scholars, both male and female, secular and religious, have complained that much has been left out of the Gospels (“Good stories”) by Matthew, Mark, Luke, John... and Paul. The gospel writers stand accused of patriarchal values because they left out the saucy details. The scholars have asked a series of provocative questions: what exactly was Jesus’ relationship with Mary Magdalene? Was their relationship sexual? Wasn’t it normal for young Jewish men to be married by the time Jesus and the disciples were preaching in the Galilee? If so, why there is no mention of their wives? Was Mary Magdalene, in fact, the leading apostle? Was she married to Jesus? . . .

Above all, was Mary ever a prostitute and, if she was, what was the nature of her special mystique that she has incited all these scholarly reinventions? Was she from someplace else altogether, like Egypt? Was she black? Has the true story been suppressed?

Well, that last question is certainly THE question, as we know.

Lots of interesting things on the site, including threads to follow that lead to yet other interesting things . . .

Esoterica: Not Just the Weird, But the Face . . .


It's also face cream, to fade away those "liver" spots on the body. All those age spots that mar the flawless skin you know.


She looks like she's been using both face cream, as well as being weirdly esoteric. . .


We don't know if she uses esoterica face cream or not, but she's doing something for her face. Maybe it has nothing to do with the face at all, and is some kind of vintage Alien Communication Device.

Paintings











For no particular reason, I'm posting some images of some of my paintings here. Nothing to do with esoterica or the paranormal. Just because.

McMinnville Pictures


All the McMenamins pubs and places are painted by several different artists: the doors, walls, moldings, trim, it's fantastic. The hallways of the Hotel Oregon in McMinnville are covered in wonderful artwork to do with the history of the place. This is a painting of Evelyn Trent and her rabbits, watching the UFO. I'm sorry I don't know the artists name; it wasn't on the painting. If you know who painted this, let me know.

Makow's Views on Domestic Violence

Usually Henry Makow is fodder for fun rants and one huge “Can you fucking believe this shit???!!!! Ha ha ha.”

Not this time. His blitherings in his latest pathological spewing: Domestic Violence Hysteria Is Political is both dangerous and irresponsible, which is an understatement.

And what does any of this have to do with para-politics, esoterica, the paranormal, Fortean subjects and UFOs? Well, aside from Makow being a crazy self-hating Jew misogynist, he’s in the Illuminati, NWO, Reptilians are Ruling the World conspiracy camp. Sort of like an unhip, woman hating David Icke.

All the whining about domestic violence is, according to Makow, the fault of evil lesbian Jewish feminists, who started the whole thing.

Men are victims of domestic violence too, and since this isn’t addressed to the extent the violence against women and children is, it’s a nasty plot by the above mentioned to:
stigmatize men and marriage in the eyes of young women. They want young women to Eat at Lesbian Jill's or Single Jane's but definitely not at Joe's.

(er, the visual metaphor tells us a lot about Makow’s paranoia, doesn’t it? Good grief! What must go on in that head of his.)

The crudest of examples is used here; Makow implies that feminists are all ugly, and women who dare to bring the issue of domestic violence to the public arena are unable to get a man. The evil powers that be -- the Illuminati Evil Jew Lesbians -- know this, and:
used feminism to harness the political power of women who couldn't get a date Saturday night.

All this bankrolled by the Rockerfellers of course.

Makow isn’t for domestic violence. He says so.:
I do not condone domestic violence of any kind. But I resent that this problem is exploited for an evil political goal: to destroy marriage and family and so render us more vulnerable to totalitarian control
.

Okay, so let me see; he doesn’t condone it, but he “resents that” it’s a “problem exploited for an evil political goal.” Which is to “destroy marriage and family.” In other words: shut up, don’t talk about the domestic violence in your family, don’t be an activist to change laws and hold the batterers accountable. You know, stop being such a whiny bitch. After all, the family is the important thing, marriage is sacred. Minor hassles like ending up in the emergency room now and then are nothing.

Besides being a misogynist, Makow is homophobic. To support his belief that homosexuality should be banned, and that they’re all going to hell, he talks about domestic violence within gay relationships as being twice that of heterosexual couples.

We don’t hear of this because the “social engineers” (you know, Jew Lesbo Commies) want to paint homosexuals as nothing but rosy happy people:
Homosexuality is the inability to form a permanent bond with a member of the opposite sex due to gender identity confusion. The goal of social engineers is to spread this developmental disorder that results in arrested development
.

And hey, we cant’ forget this:
Also, social engineers want homosexuals to have the glamor of being "victims" of straight violence.

Women’s shelters are to be avoided, for they’re run by “hags” who count on their jobs at these places for “cushy jobs and to emasculate men (by portraying them as abusers.)”

All of this is a satanic plan not just to end heterosexual marriage, but to bring in the New World Order with ease.

Oy.

Why do I "pick on" Makow? You mean aside from the painfully obvious? Because, believe it or not, there are many out there who take this man very seriously. Men and women. And that's a hell of a lot scarier than any Reptilian.

Richard and Karyn Dolan at McMinnville!


Richard Dolan, me, Jim, and Karyn Dolan at Hotel Oregon in McMinnville.

I'm here in McMinnville, Oregon for the 9th Annual UFO Festival. Richard Dolan was last night's speaker, which was a fantastic presentation! More on that later. Jim and I met with Karyn and Richard last night, and had lunch with them today. Both are wonderful, warm, "real" people, very nice. When I met Karyn last night, it was the first time we'd met in person, and I literally felt as if we'd already known each other. Of course we have, in a way, communicating on-line, but it was very nice to meet in person. (They were here with their two children, who seemed as nice as their parents.)

I'll have more on Richard's presentation, and a great conversation with both of them at lunch today, on Binnall of America, on Monday.

Virgin in the Sun . . .



Marian apparitions seem to be in the esoteric news lately; I had just post on my MySpace blog last night that I’ll probably be posting some items about recent Marian apparitions on WOE here -- I was thinking of the links I saw on The Anomalist. Woke up this morning to find a new item on apparitions there.

The Virgin Mary’s place in the Kern County sun
(California) talks about Our Lady of the Rock, in the California desert, where people come from all over to witness phenomena, and to hear Maria Paula Acuña, who Mary appears to. This has been going on for twenty years.


One thing that’s interesting is the desert location. Many Contactees experienced their meetings with entities and related UFO phenomena in deserts.

As usual, the Church stands in opposition to the folk:
Thirteen years ago, Cardinal Roger M. Mahony of the Los Angeles Roman Catholic Archdiocese disavowed the reported apparitions, saying followers were "in danger of being misled" and that the archdiocese found doctrinal, canonical and financial irregularities among organizers of the ceremonies in the desert. The archdiocese has not changed its position on the desert gatherings.
