Hollyhock about to bloom…
“The symbolic display seen by the abductees is identical to the type of initiation ritual or astral voyage that is embedded in the [occult] traditions of every culture … the structure of abduction stories is identical to that of occult initiation rituals … the UFO beings of today belong to the same class of manifestation as the [occult] entities that were described in centuries past.”
— Jacques Vallee
Three songs came to fruition today. Like budding Hollyhocks from my garden that keep highlighting my great outdoors with their beauty and wild ways.
‘I want to Believe’ by GBH, ‘To Sir with Love,’ and ‘I’m a Believer.’
The influence of music, of songs, bouncing around my psyche. 1966 to 2002 to May 2025.
In my heart songs help me to feel those important feelings. Like gratitude, hope and inspiration. Yet to be cautious and aware to real danger.
The people, places and things that inspire one to join in and celebrate this mysterious world we are part of. As the quote defines clearly,
“denizens of other dimensions.” ~ Dimensions, by Dr. Jacques Vallee.
My Celtic heritage is deep honey in this realm, and I am thick in it so to stay. Sticky and so sweet. Songs sometimes melt us all tighter together, tightly in understanding. This is a journey I share with you.
“These ‘maenads’ would prance around the mountain of Cithaeron, with staffs in their hands known as “Thyrsus” in the worship of their god. The Thyrsus was enchanted with flowers, boles, and twines; however, a concealed iron point was placed in the head of the leaves to attack the enemy.”
