November's Full Moon beckons us to look deep within. With the Sun in Scorpio, the Snow Moon is a potent time to look beyond the obvious. This is an excellent time for dreamwork and lends its energies easily to meditation and divinatory efforts as well as projects that require endings. Use the Snow Moon's energy for setting magickal goals into motion, as well as planning for the reinvention of your life.Take advantage of this transitional period to set your goals for the future in motion.
Spell to manifest your goals:
* Cut 3 bud-covered tree branches and tie them together with a green ribbon.
* Carrying the bundle of branches and a silver coin (together they symbolize growth and success) stand outdoors after dark, beneath the Snow Moon.
* Looking up at the moon, speak aloud your most secret wish.
* With deep reverence, raise the bundle and the coin and speak the following chant:
All nature is still
But as the world retreats into darkness
My wish will be nurtured,
And eventually fulfilled.
Keep your coin and branches until the spell does its work.

We are slowly approaching the Event horizon. The Event horizon is the exit point of the black hole of quarantine Earth. When we exit the black hole, there will be an explosion of Light.
This means an end of quarantine status for planet Earth and end of darkness in this universe.
The quarantine was created by the dark forces 26,000 years ago and NOT by the Galactic Confederation. The Confederation would never lock up human race on an isolated planet.What maintains the quarantine is quantum anomaly. Quantum anomaly is a distortion of time-space continuum on quantum level (called "error" in ancient gnostic texts). Quantum anomaly presents a difficulty for positive ET travel technologies. Positive ETs are not gods, they have their own limitations. Else they would liberate humanity long time ago.
The main structure that keeps humanity in third dimension are etheric implants. They form a network of black hole wormholes that was created by the Archons 26,000 years ago and strengthened with Magdalenian Archons invasion 16,000 years ago. Those black holes contain reptilians and their technology on etheric plane and they are being intensively purified by the Light forces right now. Etheric and astral black holes also contain a dark sepia ink elemental essence. That ink-like essence is what people call darkness because it absorbs etheric / astral light. When this ink is completely removed there will be an explosion of Light on non-
physical planes.
By keeping the implants inside strong etheric electromagnetic fields eternity loops are created. Eternity loops are distortions of space-time continuum that give an impression that quarantine will last forever. Nothing could be further from the truth. The quarantine will be dissolved immediately when those electromagnetic fields are switched off and the Archons operating them are removed.
Another main structure is a special Archon technology on the etheric plane. They are projection chambers that project certain images / emotional states that are not ours on our outer auric membrane. So other people feel this projected image and not our true state. This is the source of most conflicts / projections in human relationships. When this technology is removed, people will suddenly find much more harmony in their relationships.
The last main factor of the quarantine is the ordinary (mundane) reality. This reality system is an artificial creation of the Cabal and most people buy into this reality frame without questioning it. The Cabal spends about three billion dollars daily to keep the illusion of the ordinary reality running. It does this by suppressing all real UFO evidence and free energy technologies and by maintaining nine to five job slavery for humanity. You can transcend the ordinary reality frame by adopting shamanic point of view of creating your own reality. By consciously creating your own reality bubble you help disintegrating the quarantine.
There is a special joint operation of the Resistance Movement, the Pleiadians and other positive ET races that dismantles the quarantine. I will be able to report more on this operation when certain conditions are met.
August and September are months of much background activity, but immediate results may not be visible. I suggest everybody to remain patient and calm within this time period, especially in September with another Uranus / Pluto square.
For those concerned with the Olympics false flag event, there is no reason to be afraid. All activities of the Cabal around the Olympics are closely monitored by the Resistance Movement. It is extremely unlikely that any major negative event will happen then.2012portal.blogspot.com

JESUS BRINGS PEACE
" Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth; give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27
If we look around us today we don't see or hear much about peace. We do hear a lot about war and dissention. It seems to be prevelant in the world. Will it get better? I doubt it! Personally I think things are being put into place for the Saints of God to be raptured out and the Tribulation to begin. If we look at all the circumstances around us we could get discouraged. But Jesus said "My Peace I give unto you." It is "That Peace" we want to look at today.
I'm glad that Jesus can still bring Peace to a troubled soul. He is the Master of the sea in the storms of life. There is nothing impossible with Him. The 5th Chapter of Mark has been called the "high water mark of his gospel. There are three persons that in the sight or thoughts of man are incurable.
1. Those possessed with devils.
2. Those with incurable diseases
3. Those that are dead.
"Here we see three hard cases"! What would we do with them?
Probably find some place to put the deviled possessed. We would find the uncurable in some hospital where they are left to die. And the dead we would bury. Right?
By a simple act of compassion and Love - Jesus made all three perfectly whole.
They were not a hard case for Him, Who is health and Who is life, Himself.
Jesus had just spoke the Parables to the multitude. He encountered some half hearted followers. The crowd was so great that Jesus had to get into a boat to speak to the people. The people did not want Him to leave. They wanted Jesus to stay. We need to remember though Jesus was God, yet at the same time He was human. He got weary and tired and needed rest! The day had been long and tedious. Jesus felt the need to cross over the Sea of Galilee to the Gadarenes. "And the same day; when the even was come, he said unto them, Let us pass over to the other side." Mark 4:35" The ship probably belonged to Peter and was ready for the Masters use. If you read on in verses 36-41 you will see where a storm came up and the waves had filled the ship. There was great danger of the ship going down.
In the mean time Jesus was so exhausted that He fell asleep. It seems as knowing that Jesus was in the ship with them that they would not be afraid. The storm did not disturbed Jesus at all. The storm was no problem to Him. He was the One that created the winds and they were at His command.
To the disciples the storm was real. Contrary winds and sudden storm that had rushed down upon them filled them with despair.
"How many times are we faced with contrary winds and a sudden storm in our spiritual life? Do we feel sometimes that we are going down"? Jesus had such perfect trust in His Father's care and protection that He just slept.
Finally the discilpes called and said: "Carest thou not that we perish?" Jesus got up and rebuked the winds with just three words to the sea "Peace! Be still!"
The forces of all nature are under His control. The sea immediately were calm!
(The story is told of a little girl abroad a vessel being tossed by an ocean storm. All the passengers were frantic except this little girl. Finally one of the men ask her "Daughter, aren't you afraid?" Pointing to the control room she said "No sir, my daddy is up there.)
In the storms of life our Heavenly Father is in control. That gives us hope and peace to know we will not have to ride out our storm by ourselves!
Jesus could have said to the disciples, "Why are ye such cowards in the storm. Why do you fear when I am in control?" Not only did his words calm the raging storm, but it calmed the troubled souls on board that ship. The disciples were so amazed that they looked at one another and said: "What manner of man is this that even the winds and the sea obey his will?" Seems their faith is rising!
Society couldn't put up with Jesus, so He made His home with the dead in the cemetery. Jesus knew exactly where He was going to land when He reached the other shore. There was a need in the cemetery, of all places! Man could not intervened here with the demon possessed. But Jesus could!
"(THE DEVIL AND EVIL SPIRITS ARE REAL BEINGS! WE SEE THIS A LOT TODAY, OR RATHER, WE HEAR ABOUT IT. FORTUNE TELLERS, PALM READERS, SEANCES, SPEAKING WITH THE DEAD ETC. IT MIGHT REALLY SCARE US IF WE KNEW JUST HOW MUCH OF THIS EXISTS AND JUST HOW CLOSE WE MAY BE TO IT!" )
In the cemetery Jesus found a man that felt he was worthy of eternal torment.
His cry was for deliverance. He hated his condition but was helpless to free himself. "But Jesus spoke Peace to his soul". Later we see him clothed and in his right mind. This Demonic from Gadara became a beautiful example of what Paul said in Corinthians 5:17: "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things have passed away, behold all things are new."
There is a sad ending to this miracle! The people ask Jesus to leave their coast. They were more upset over the loss of a few hogs than they were in the healing of this man. It seems they are in need of a healing themselves, but here they are telling Jesus to leave!
Going on Jesus encountered Jairus who was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell at Jesus feet and pled for the life of his daughter. She was dying. Jesus started on the road to Jairus' house when he came across more needs. "The woman with the issue of blood for twelve years." She finally reached through and touched the hem of Jesus garment. Jesus knew some one had touched Him.
"Who touched my clothes?" The woman fearing and trembling came and fell at His feet and made her request. "Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plaque!" About that time someone comes and tells Jarius that his daughter is dead. Jesus told Jairus not to be afraid, only believe.. Jesus goes on with Jairus and they found great weeping and wailing for the dead girl. Jesus then tells then the damsel is not dead, she is asleep.
He went in and took the damsel by the hand and said: "Damsel, I say unto thee, arise." And straitway the damsel arose. "He spoke peace!"
Jesus can still speak Peace to a troubled soul today! He can deliver from the chains of sin!~ He can bring life to a soul that is dead spiritually.

The following material is excerpted from the most recent Discernment Ministries newsletter, the March/April 2006 newsletter now posted on
"What makes Kingdom Now teaching different from the normal emphasis of the kingdom being present is that the Kingdom Now teachers are saying that the kingdom is going to become externally visible in this age, prior to the Coming [of Christ]."
In a further article entitled "Kingdom Now and Missions, Mountain Movers", 1989, Dr. Wood further warns:
"...As its name implies, this theology maintains that God's kingdom already exists on earth. This new wave, like the old waves of latter rain, shepherding, demon-casting from Christians, and positive confession is destined to be exported to foreign soil. But the acceptance of Kingdom Now theology by churches overseas would bring seven significant and disastrous results."
"(1) All biblical teaching regarding the literal fuillment of prophesied events would be abandoned...;
(2) The Church would have a larger mission than that of proclaiming personal salvation through Christ... The political, social, and economic systems of nations and cultures would need to be 'Christianized'...
(3)..The Church would need to be reeducated to understand that the teaching of the Rapture is a doctrine sold to it by Satan to lull it into an escapist mentality. Only when the Church is finished 'Christianizing' (exercising dominion over) the world could it finally summon the Lord to return from heaven
(4) The Church could no longer rely solely on written Scripture for doctrine. It would have to develop the five-fold ministry of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers, from whom the Church could learn rulership. These new 'apostles' and 'prophets' words would be obeyed and not judged or tested by the Church. The door would be open to ongoing revelation through which God would reveal components of His will and ways not found in the Bible.
(5) The Church would take a new look at worship... it would also become a spiritual empowerment to restore the Church and to raise it to perfection... the lively and spiritually restored tabernacle of David.
(6) The revived Church anticipated by the Kingdom Now proponents would demand a NEW BREED of Christians: supermen and superwomen. Believers would be taught that they are more than human... Some Kingdom Now adherents go beyond being 'little gods' to holding to the possibility that we are the 'manifested sons of God,'...the race of Christians whose bodies will be transformed, not by the coming of the Lord, but by His inner secret coming from within themselves.
(7) Finally, the Church everywhere would be called to 'unity.' Since Kingdom Now teachers do not want their teaching to be challenged, they attempt to silence their critics by suggesting that Christians lay aside their differences and join in common witness... "
AN IMPROPER EMPHASIS
This current Discernment Ministries newsletter also notes the warnings issued by Robert Crabtree when he was the District Superintendent for the Ohio District of the Assemblies of God. He prepared a report which he delivered to the pastors of the district on January 13, 1987. It is well documented and shows the remarkable understanding of a godly leader who foresaw the dangers that lurked ahead. He said,
"Theology should not be written in the streets. The Bible should not be rewritten for the sake of society. Society should change because of the impact of the Scriptures. It should not be conditioned, reshaped or rewritten as a result of social pressures. The Scriptures must be the first line of authority... Those who seek to change God's Word by either adding to it through 'new revelation' or deleting from it by 'academic exercises' should have their works judged accordingly...
"An effort to unify the New Wave theologies, especially among Kingdom Now teachers is growing. Structurally it is similar to attempts to unify the Charismatic movement... Watch for the development of new terms and redefinition of old terms with new shades of meaning that will be utilized in an attempt to accommodate the various types of Kingdom Now theologies. Kingdom Now teachers have redefined the Gospel which requires RE-EVANGELIZING THE CHURCH WITHOUT AN EMPHASIS UPON JESUS CHRIST. [emphasis added] Salvation moves one from the kingdom of sin to the Kingdom Now of Christ on earth. This new kingdom is being built by waking up the professing Christians rather than reaching the lost. These renewed Christians are to seek control of the earth and assume stewardship responsibilities of the material world."

"An ordinary person may consider meditation as a worship or prayer. But it is not so. Meditation means awareness. Whatever you do with awareness is meditation. "Watching your breath" is meditation; listening to the birds is meditation. As long as these activities are free from any other distraction to the mind, it is effective meditation."Meditation is not a technique but a way of life. Meditation means 'a cessation of the thought process'. It describes a state of consciousness, when the mind is free of scattered thoughts and various patterns. The observer (one who is doing meditation) realizes that all the activity of the mind is reduced to one."
"OSHO SAYS"
"The meditation I am talking about is not a meditation "on "something: rather, it is a state of meditation. So this is what I mean when I am talking to you about meditation as a state. Meditation does not mean remembering someone. Meditation means to drop everything which is in one's memory and to come to a state where only consciousness remains, where only awareness remains."If you light a lamp and remove all the objects surrounding it, the lamp will still go on giving light. In the same way, if you remove all objects from your consciousness, all thoughts, all imagination, what will happen? - only consciousness will remain. That pure state of consciousness is meditation. You don't meditate on somebody. Meditation is a state where only consciousness remains."When only consciousness remains without an object, that state is called meditation. I am using the word "meditation" in this sense."What you practice is not meditation in the real sense; it is only a concept. But meditation will happen on its own through this. Try to understand that what you are practicing at night, exercises involving the "chakras", and in the morning, exercises involving the breath, is all a discipline, it is not meditation. Through this discipline a moment will come when the breath will seem to have disappeared. Through this discipline a moment will come when the body seems to have disappeared and thoughts have also disappeared. What will remain when everything has disappeared? That which remains is meditation. When everything has disappeared, that which is left behind is called meditation. (taken from "The Path of Meditation")"
MEDITATION BENEFITS YOUR BRAIN
1 - IMPROVED MOOD AND WORKING MEMORY - EVEN UNDER STRESS. Meditation is not an activity designed to take us away from the problems of life, rather it helps us face them with our full capacity. Everybody has to deal with stress at some point - whether it's work, school or family life, our ability to deal with our circumstances is sometimes pushed to the limit. Dealing with circumstances that seem beyond our control can result in negative mood, anxiety or chronic stress. New studies have proven that meditation actually improves mood and working memory - even in times of extreme pressure.
2 - ALLEVIATE MENTAL DISTRACTIONS
Training the mind to stay focused is a major motivation for practicing meditation. Brain scans show that experienced meditators process distracting thoughts with ease, then quickly return to a state of focus. Fortunately the rewards of meditation practice don't take years to cultivate - in a recent study it was shown that less than a week of practice resulted in significant improvement of cognitive abilities across a range of tests. Meditation also has positive affects and reduces the symptoms of some mental disorders. ADD, anxiety, and depression are all marked by an increase in distracting or otherwise unwanted thoughts. Meditation trains the mind to free itself from detrimental thought patterns. 3 - INCREASE THE SIZE OF YOUR BRAIN
That's right, meditating actually causes your brain to grow. You might think "who cares - I like my brain just the way it is", which is a perfectly reasonable response. However, age tends to cause thinning in the frontal-cortex. We all grow older and experience these effects. Without proper mental exercise, the gray matter responsible for language, cognition and emotional processing gradually degrades. This degredation has the potential to leave us with a higher risk for declining cognitive ability.Thankfully, regular meditation slows thinning of brain tissue. Meditation is also responsible for thickening parts of the brain associated with attention, and working memory - crucial areas that are linked with intelligence. The gains in cognitive performance, experienced through brief periods of meditation, seem to show a positive relationship between meditation and improved intelligence.
REMEMBER"No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path."
MEDITATION BENEFITS YOUR BODY
4 - ENHANCE THE STRENGTH OF YOUR IMMUNE RESPONSE Studies show that meditation not only improves mood, but also improves the quality of your immune response. One study demonstrated that meditators who were given a flu shot had more antibodies in their blood, as compared to non-meditators. The same study also observed increased activity in areas of the brain associated with positive emotion. Some beneficial effects of the meditation lasted up to four months after practice was concluded.
5 - ALLEVIATE SYMPTOMS CAUSED BY SICKNESS We all know that stress influences the ability of our immune systems to fight off disease; which may be why meditation helps improve the symptoms from a wide range of conditions, such as:
* - Heart disease
* - High blood pressure
* - Cancer
* - Asthma
* - Allergies
Research shows that meditation can have a positive impact on many health Meditation might be a better stimulant for you than a cup of coffee. If you find yourself in need of a midday nap, or just didn't get enough sleep the night before, it might be time for a meditation break. Several studies have shown a link between meditation and mental alertness. Sometimes meditation can act as a replacement for sleep, with higher gains in performance.
7 - MEDITATION CAN HELP REDUCE THE IMPACT OF PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL PAIN
Chronic physical pain can have a serious impact on your mental health. The negative thinking that can accompany pain leads to stress, which can further exacerbate problems. Fortunately, studies show that meditation can reduce the direct experience of physical pain up to 50%.Beyond physical pain, chronic pain can have a negative impact on emotional well being. Through meditation people have learned how to respond to pain in a healthier manner. Training the mind allows the opportunity of a choice about how you will experience the present. Learning that you are in control of your response, and training yourself to do so, can have a significant impact on how you experience physical as well as emotional pain.
REMEMBER
"The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed."
MEDITATION BENEFITS YOUR SPIRIT
8 - GETTING INTO A STATE OF FLOW
The state of flow has been described in many different ways, but generally reflects the same experience. Flow consists of a harmonious state with positive qualities, that leads to a joyful state of being. When the characteristics of flow are described it's clear how flow is synonymous with a meditative state. Losing yourself in the activity, intuitively knowing what you're going to do next, reacting spontaneously and purposefully to present circumstances, being unaware of the passage of time and confidence in your ability to face challenges; these are all feelings which accompany a state of flow.One of my favorite descriptive terms to explain the experience is being "in the zone". Hopefully you've experienced this feeling before. Sometimes it happens spontaneously, while at other times it happens through a great deal of preperation. Maybe you were confident in your ability to complete a project, and things seemed to fall into place. If you play competitive sports, it's possible that your training led you to a high level of performance, and it felt like you were guaranteed to win. Regardless of how you experienced flow, meditation can help you recapture this feeling. The clear focused attention required to get in flow can be cultivated through practice and carried over to other areas of your life. Capturing this state can help you move forward with purpose, confident in your ability to reach your goals.
9 - IMPROVE YOUR POWERS OF EMPATHY
Cultivating compassion can have a profound impact on how we deal with others. Forgiveness and compassion are important for building strong relationships, while at the same time contributing to a positive self-image.Loving-kindness meditation (also called metta meditation) focuses on building thoughts of compassion for all sentient beings. To begin, we must first have compassion for ourselves, it can then be extended to friends, family and others. Building compassion for ourselves is not a selfish act - in fact it is one of the most unselfish things you can do. Compassion for the self leads to self-acceptance, even in light of past mistakes. Compassion and forgiveness are inter Enlightenment is possibly the end-all of spiritual aspiration. This elusive attainment has kept philosophers and spiritual seekers contemplating the mysteries of the world for thousands of years. Achieving enlightenment is supposed to reveal the underlying nature of reality to those who attain it. Those who attain it describe it as the greatest paradox one could imagine, but also freeing and expansive.Is this something you believe is possible? Is this your ultimate reason for meditating? If the idea of meditation raises more questions than you are comfortable with, then you may want to seek a spiritual guru to guide you on your path. Enlightenment may reveal some answers, while unveiling even deeper mysteries - much like scientific progress. Some spiritual traditions describe levels of progress in the various stages of practice. It's said that through regular engagement in meditation, it's possible to have deep insights into one's own being With all of the benefits of meditation, it's a worthwhile practice regardless of personal feelings toward spiritual attainment.

A fundamental identity is direct participation in political processes, through for example the right to vote in elections.
An editorial in the NY Times points to a brief study [PDF] by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law in discussing legislative changes that mandate use of identity documents at polling places and thereby "make it much harder for the young, the poor and African-Americans - groups that typically vote Democratic - to cast a ballot".
The Times comments that Republican legislatures and governors are rewriting voting laws - Spreading fear of a nonexistent flood of voter fraud, they are demanding that citizens be required to show a government-issued identification before they are allowed to vote. Republicans have been pushing these changes for years, but now more than two-thirds of the states have adopted or are considering such laws. The Advancement Project, an advocacy group of civil rights lawyers, correctly describes the push as "the largest legislative effort to scale back voting rights in a century".
Anyone who has stood on the long lines at a motor vehicle office knows that it isn't easy to get such documents. For working people, it could mean giving up a day's wages. The Brennan Center study suggests that 11% of US citizens do not have a current photo ID. (Figures on the number of Australians without a drivers licence, passport or other official photo ID are unavailable. As a point of reference Year Book Australia 2003 - the ABS compilation - indicated that there were some 15.4 million motor vehicle and motor cycle licences, a figure with substantial double counting.out of a population of 19.9 million people.)
In the US that 11% increases to 15 percent of low-income voting-age citizens, 18 percent of young eligible voters and 25 percent of black eligible voters. Those demographic groups tend to vote Democratic, and Republicans are imposing requirements that they know many will be unable to meet. The Times goes on to report that - Kansas... voters will be required to show a photo ID at the polls. Before they can register, Kansans will have to produce a proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate.
Tough luck if you don't happen to have one in your pocket when you're at the county fair and you pass the voter registration booth. Or when the League of Women Voters brings its High School Registration Project to your school cafeteria. Or when you show up at your dorm at the University of Kansas without your birth certificate. Sorry, you won't be voting in Lawrence, and probably not at all.
That's fine with Gov. Sam Brownback, who said he signed the bill because it's necessary to "ensure the sanctity of the vote." Actually, Kansas has had only one prosecution for voter fraud in the last six years. But because of that vast threat to Kansas democracy, an estimated 620,000 Kansas residents who lack a government ID now stand to lose their right to vote. Over 30 US states are reported as joining the eight that already had photo ID laws. The Wisconsin bill refuses to recognize college photo ID cards, even if they are issued by a state university, thus cutting off many students at the University of Wisconsin and other campuses. The Texas bill, so vital that Gov. Rick Perry declared it emergency legislation, would also reject student IDs, but would allow anyone with a handgun license to vote. Perry has recently attracted attention for declaring three days of prayer for rain, a fascinating illustration of the intersection of religion, politics and popular culture.
His proclamation reads - WHEREAS, the state of Texas is in the midst of an exceptional drought, with some parts of the state receiving no significant rainfall for almost three months, matching rainfall deficit records dating back to the 1930s; and...
WHEREAS, these dire conditions have caused agricultural crops to fail, lake and reservoir levels to fall and cattle and livestock to struggle under intense stress, imposing a tremendous financial and emotional toll on our land and our people; and
WHEREAS, throughout our history, both as a state and as individuals, Texans have been strengthened, assured and lifted up through prayer; it seems right and fitting that the people of Texas should join together in prayer to humbly seek an end to this devastating drought and these dangerous wildfires;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICK PERRY, Governor of Texas, under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Texas, do hereby proclaim the three-day period from Friday, April 22, 2011, to Sunday, April 24, 2011, as Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas. I urge Texans of all faiths and traditions to offer prayers on that day for the healing of our land, the rebuilding of our communities and the restoration of our normal way of life. As I've noted elsewhere, it is perplexing that the pious (or merely opportunistic) Texas Governor does not declare state Days of Prayer for other ills. Why not a Day of Prayer to deal with rattlesnakes, coyotes and other varmints (as unpleasant as drought - and, in the case of poisonous serpents, more deadly - but surely a part of God's creation)? If, like sundry people noted in this blog, we accept the notion that prayer or the miraculous intercession of the saints can heal cancer, why not a state - indeed national - day of prayer (or week of prayer) to alleviate inconveniences such as amputated limbs? (I remain perplexed, innocent that I am, as to why prayer makes cancer go away but doesn't regrow a missing limb or two... such selectivity seems inconsistent with claims about higher powers.) If a week does not suffice, try a month, and throw in some wailing, gnashing of teeth, rending of clothes (sackcloth and ashes are the new black) and expiatory burning of witches or other baddies.

By next Monday, I will have completed the six months of invoking my Holy Guardian Angel that I had originally set myself, as a "block" of magical work to do.
So am "I" done yet?
Yes and No.
Yes, I have had a roller coaster ride, from elation and euphoria, to darkness and misery, the classic initiation of the mystic. Also, not to mention some very strange, very real and very spooky material results! For me, the HGA has in a way disappeared, and yet is more present than ever. Crazy? No, not really. My Holy Guardian Angel is now ever present, but not as some separate entity or force, but as that silent witness that empowers me in all ways.
Secondly, No, this is not complete. However much work I have done, I am still in the constant process of initiation, that is called life. We never stop learning, we never stop feeling, we never stop growing, we are in motion, part of the cosmic mystery that is still unfolding. For me the HGA "model" is now folding itself back in, I think I will do one final major invocation at the end of the period, and then I will move on to another paradigm, knowing that my HGA is still always present, whatever magicians and occultists may argue it is.
See you at the bitter end...

SINISTER SITES: IRS HEADQUARTERS, MARYLAND
Nov 28th, 2012
"The IRS headquarters in New Carrollton, Maryland is a government building that, despite being constructed with public funds, contains art referring to elite secret societies. More importantly, the art conveys a strange message about the U.S. Constitution, and the American people in general. We'll look at the symbolic meaning of the art found in front of the IRS headquarters in Maryland."
The IRS is probably the most hated institution in America - mainly because its primary role is to force people to hand over their hard-earned cash. This modern equivalent of the proverbial tax collector indeed collects money from American workers and gives it to a government that will, in turn, use this money to send drones abroad or to build information superstructures to better monitor these same workers. What's not to like?
The IRS was originally created as a "temporary measure" during wartime (funny how the Canadian Revenue Agency was also supposed to be "temporary"), but there is nothing temporary about it now. In fact, the gigantic IRS complex in New Carrollton, Maryland was built in 1997 and is still growing today, indicating that this institution is indeed here to stay. This modern building has all of the state-of-the-art amenities one can think of, but it is the odd public art in front of it that is the most noteworthy. As is the case for many government buildings, the art displayed means absolutely nothing to most people, but to those who are versed in secret society symbolism, its implications are manifold and profound. In fact, fully understanding the origins and the meaning of the symbols in front of the IRS building means understanding who are truly in power in America (and around the world), what they believe in and what they truly think about us, the masses.
The IRS is not known to be a very artistic institution and likewise there is not much art present at its headquarters in Maryland. However, the few pieces that are on display manage to convey everything that needs to be known about the occult elite.
GENERAL LAYOUT
The entrance to the IRS headquarters is guarded by two black and white pillars made of the highest quality marble, topped with white hands. Between the two pillars is a dark pyramid with a metallic capstone on which is written "We the People". What does all of this represent? Here's an "official" description:
"The most striking elements are the huge, white marble hands atop each column. Each hand points skyward, one with the forefinger extended; the other is an open hand, the fingers ever so slightly cupped. "
"The 1997 work is called "Vox Populi," which is Latin for "the voice of the people." The hand with the raised index finger represents deliberation, argument, the gesticulation of a speaker giving his or her opinion. The hand with an open palm represents the act of voting or taking an oath."
- The Washington Post, "The Big Hands of the Law"That is all well and good, but what does "Vox Populi" have to do with the IRS? Can citizens weigh in or vote on anything about the IRS? Why are the pillars black and white? Why is there a pyramid with a capstone between them? As it is the case for most occult symbols, there's as basic (and unsatisfactory) interpretation given to the masses and a "real" meaning for those in the know. For those in the know, the art is a nod to the highest degrees of Freemasonry, the true source of power in America - not unlike what the Washington monument stands for.
The art in front of the IRS Headquarters features a pyramid with a capstone between two pillars. The black and white stripes refer to the Hermetic concept of duality.
This Masonic monument in Israel bears exactly the same elements: A pyramid with a capstone between two pillars. The stripes on the ground represent duality.
Let's look at each element of this (not so) public art.
TWIN PILLARS
The symbolism of the twin pillars is ancient and very meaningful as it refers to the core of hermetism, the basis of secret society teachings. In short, the pillars represent duality and the union of opposites:
"The right Tablet of the Law further signifies Jachin - the white pillar of light; the left Tablet, Boaz - the shadowy pillar of darkness. These were the names of the two pillars cast from brass set up on the porch of King Solomon's Temple. They were eighteen cubits in height and beautifully ornamented with wreaths of chainwork, nets, and pomegranates. On the top of each pillar was a large bowl - now erroneously called a ball or globe - one of the bowls probably containing fire and the other water. The celestial globe (originally the bowl of fire), surmounting the right-hand column (Jachin), symbolized the divine man; the terrestrial globe (the bowl of water), surmounting the left-hand column (Boaz), signified the earthly man. These two pillars respectively connote also the active and the passive expressions of Divine Energy, the sun and the moon, sulphur and salt, good and bad, light and darkness. Between them is the door leading into the House of God, and standing thus at the gates of Sanctuary they are a reminder that Jehovah is both an androgynous and an anthropomorphic deity. As two parallel columns they denote the zodiacal signs of Cancer and Capricorn, which were formerly placed in the chamber of initiation to represent birth and death - the extremes of physical life. They accordingly signify the summer and the winter solstices, now known to Freemasons under the comparatively modern appellation of the "two St. Johns."
"In the mysterious Sephirothic Tree of the Jews, these two pillars symbolize Mercy and Severity. Standing before the gate of King Solomon's Temple, these columns had the same symbolic import as the obelisks before the sanctuaries of Egypt. When interpreted Qabbalistically, the names of the two pillars mean "In strength shall My House be established. "In the splendor of mental and spiritual illumination, the High Priest stood between the pillars as a mute witness to the perfect virtue of equilibrium - that hypothetical point equidistant from all extremes. He thus personified the divine nature of man in the midst of his compound constitution - the mysterious Pythagorean Monad in the presence of the Duad. On one side towered the stupendous column of the intellect; on the other, the brazen pillar of the flesh. Midway between these two stands the glorified wise man, but he cannot reach this high estate without first suffering upon the cross made by joining these pillars together. The early Jews occasionally represented the two pillars, Jachin and Boaz, as the legs of Jehovah, thereby signifying to the modern philosopher that Wisdom and Love, in their most exalted sense, support the whole order of creation - both mundane and supermundane."
- Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All AgesThe same way Masonic pillars guard the entrance of Masonic temples, two pillars guard the entrance of the IRS building.
Masonic art depicting the twin pillars named Jachin and Boaz guarding the entrance of a Masonic temple.
While not all pillars are necessarily Masonic, those in front of the IRS building contain other features that leave no doubt regarding their secret society connection.
The IRS pillars feature exactly 13 black and white stripes and a very significant hand sign.
Sharply contrasting with the rest of the building, the pillars are stripped in black and white, a pattern evoking duality, a concept that is visually represented on the Masonic mosaic pavement.
Probably the most important feature in Masonic lodges, the black and white checkerboard pattern is meant to be a visual representation of the concept of duality. Variations of this pattern do exist.
To make things even more explicitly Masonic (for those in the know) each pillar is comprised of exactly 13 stripes, a number that is of the utmost importance in Masonic lore (research the omnipresence of the number 13 on the American dollar bill). Considering the constant attention to occult numerology in Masonic art, this fact alone should be very telling.
Above each pillar are white marble hands. It is interesting to know that formal Masonic attire requires white gloves. One of the hands points upwards, towards the sky. While the official meaning claims that it refers to the act of public discussion and discourse, this hand sign, place in the esoteric context of the artwork, takes on a much more ancient and mystical meaning.
Named the "hand to god", the "sign of Preservation" or the "hand of the Mysteries", the sign of the hand pointing upwards can be found in many works of art that bear an esoteric meaning. It appears to be always associated with figures that are seen to possess "knowledge from the gods".
The classic depiction of Hermes always depicts him pointing towards the heavens. Known as the "messenger of God", Hermes is a central figure in Masonic lore. He is considered to be the teacher of theurgic sciences, therefore helping humanity ascend towards godhood (the word Hermetism derives from Hermes).
"Plato, an initiate of one of these sacred orders, was severely criticized because in his writings he revealed to the public many of the secret philosophic principles of the Mysteries." - Manly P. Hall. In this classic depiction of Plato by Raphael, he is pointing upwards - probably because he "initiated" the world to some of the secret teachings of Mystery schools.
This Masonic item for sale at 1stdibs.com features the same hand sign as found in front of the IRS building.
In the context of esoteric teachings, a human pointing towards God can represent the ultimate goal of the Mysteries: Ascending from the state of mere mortal to achieve godhood.
The hand above the other pillar does not point towards the sky, but is rather opened. While pointing towards somewhere means moving into that direction, an opened palm is traditionally associated with "stop" or "halt". In Masonic symbolism, the twin pillars are often topped with contrasting symbols (the sun and the moon or globes representing earth and heavens). Could the white hands above the pillars represent the same opposite notions of godhood (pointing towards god) and earthly materiality (halt sign)?
On these Masonic pillars are etched various quotes regarding the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Some of them are quite odd in the context of today, such this one by Barbara Jordan:
"The Bill of Rights was not ordained by Nature or God. It's very human, very fragile." Hmmm, that's... unsettling.
Considering the fact that a bunch of laws blatantly violating the Bill of Rights (notably the First and Fourth Amendment) were enacted shortly after this building was erected, one can ask if this quote wasn't some kind of a warning. As we see new police-state-style laws violating privacy, free speech and encouraging oppression, we can definitely conclude that the elite views the Bill of Rights as something "very human, very fragile" that can easily be violated. While the above quote can be interpreted as a reminder to not take the Bill of Rights for granted, in the context of its location, it conveys an unsettling message about how it can easily be tampered with... and even disappear. Think I'm going too far? Check out this next piece.
THE PYRAMID
Between the two pillars is the most recognizable symbol representing the occult elite: A pyramid with a shiny capstone. On the pyramid is written the US Constitution, which famously starts with "We the People". Looking closer at this sculptures, several questions come to mind.
First, why is the U.S. Constitution etched on a symbol that is associated with occult secret societies whose highest degrees are restricted to "elite men"? Isn't there a contradiction here? Second, it is somewhat clear that the charcoal-colored base of the pyramid represents the masses (it is written "We the People" right on it), while the shiny, illuminated capstone represents the "illuminated" elite. Isn't this... elitist? Does the capstone that is standing above the pyramid and the U.S. Constitution mean that the elite is above the law? Finally, WHY ISN'T THE BILL OF RIGHTS ON THE PYRAMID? Is it because it is "very human, very fragile"? Is it considered outdated by the NWO elite? As it is the case for many Sinister Sites described on Vigilant Citizen, this barely noticeable artwork contains an infinitely of dark implications.
IN CONCLUSION
In this edition of Sinister Sites, we looked at a relatively small amount of items that nonetheless conveyed a massive amount of symbolism. Far from being merely decorative, the art in front of the IRS building in Maryland describes in a symbolic matter the true source of power behind the American (and world) government, its spiritual and political philosophy, its perception of the masses and so forth. But while the symbolism is unmistakably Masonic, your local front-porch Freemasons have nothing to do with the occult elite. Those in power are part of the highest, hidden levels of the order - what we like to call the Illuminati.
While the IRS doesn't shy away from collecting money from every single American worker in the United States, the occult symbols in front of its headquarters is not definitely not meant for every single American worker. It is meant to be understood by a very few "select" ones - the same way real power is owned by a very few "select" ones. Why are there symbols associated with secretive and elite groups displayed on buildings that are supposedly public? Isn't this a contradiction?
While some might say that the true, mystical meaning behind these symbols is not inherently evil, the real upsetting part is that those "in the capstone" are clearly telling us that those at the base of the pyramid are not meant to understand these things. They are meant to be distracted and controlled in order to fund the elite while not causing too much damage... and that's about it. And the IRS is part of the equation.
Contrarily to the "official" meaning of the pointing hand, no citizen has a say on the policies of these institution or even what they display in front of their building. It is rather those in the capstone that dictate what will happening to "We the People"... even if it means making the Bill of Rights disappear. As the official IRS motto goes:" Service plus Enforcement equals Compliance". In short, maybe the finger that is pointing upwards should be the middle one.

A) GLINDA THE GOOD WITCH
If your answers were all "a", you are a modern Glinda the Good Witch. You visualize all your troubles surrounded in a bubble and floating away from you, and it works. Congratulations.
1. You're probably a real tree-hugger and into horses and nature and all that.
2. You're just like Dorothy, who, if you'll recall, was Glinda the Good Witch's prot'eg'ee in The Wizard of Oz.
3. You know that all the goodness that you do comes back to you three by three by three.
4. You love the way Martha Stewart says, "It's a good thing" at the end of every segment.
5. You love the idea of a bunch of modern witches mixing up potions from their kitchen cupboards, wearing headscarves and dancing to music by Stevie Nicks.
B) A WICKED WITCH
If your answers were all "b", you are just plain eeevil.
1. If you get on a broom and your feet actually lift off the ground, that is truly creepy.

If your answers are all "e", the only kind of spell you know is a fainting spell. You're more the kind of person prone to be the victim of witches because you refuse to acknowledge that magic exists. You wouldn't know what an athame was if you were lying on a slab and it was plunged into your heart (not that there's anything wrong with that).
1. Witches have cast spells so they get all the men and all the rides home.
2. All the straight males have been bewitched by real witches, so you're stuck with this gay friend.
3. You are the victim of the many psychic attacks practiced by amateur witchlets out there.
4. You don't really like Kathie Lee Gifford but for some reason every time she's on the TV you just can't stop watching her... it's like you're under her spell or something.
6. The Wizard of Oz is the only movie you've seen with a real witch in it.

El tema de la brujer'ia siempre ha tenido fanaticos al rededor del mundo, miles y miles, ahora tenemos los fans la opcion de ir a museos a ver lo que en esas 'epocas, consideraban como brujer'ia.
No tengo idea de como se vea este tema en Asia, pero tanto en Am'erica y Europa, es punto y aparte, m'as all'a de las famosas Brujas de Salem.
No he podido encontrar m'as informaci'on sobre el Museo en Francia e Islandia en espa~nol, espero poder complementar m'as esta informaci'on pr'oximamente.
Museo de la Brujer'ia en Segovia, Espa~na
Momias, reliquias, f'ormulas m'agicas y venenos son algunas de las inquietantes piezas que se exhiben en el "Antiguo Museo de Brujer'ia", que ha abierto sus puertas en Segovia, de forma permanente, con el objetivo de mostrar una parte del oscuro mundo de la nigromancia y la brujer'ia.
El museo, ubicado en pleno coraz'on del centro hist'orico de Segovia y a apenas 200 metros de la Catedral, muestra la colecci'on de 300 piezas de brujer'ia tradicional de la Europa mediterr'anea y central datadas entre los siglos XVI al XX, pertenecientes a un coleccionista italiano denominado "Se~nor Alessandro".
Hasta su llegada definitiva a Segovia, la exposici'on tuvo car'acter itinerante y se ha podido ver en cerca de medio centenar de ciudades en Espa~na, Italia, Portugal, Holanda y M'exico con un gran 'exito de p'ublico, seg'un sus promotores. Alessandro Alviani, responsable de la empresa Grupo Atrox, gestora de la colecci'on, explic'o que tras varios a~nos de itinerancia se busc'o "una capital que pudiera ser la sede definitiva para el museo, y elegimos Segovia tanto por su historia como por su indudable atractivo tur'istico".
Asimismo, indic'o que la elecci'on del local que alberga el museo "tambi'en ha sido la m'as correcta, ya que en su s'otano se encontraba un antiguo asentamiento jud'io en el que hab'ia varios enterramientos de hombres y ni~nos que hu'ian de la persecuci'on tras la expulsi'on decretada a finales del siglo XV".
La muestra tiene como eje argumental el diario del "Se~nor Alessandro", escrito entre 1930 y 1940, en el que iba relatando las curiosidades, rarezas y hallazgos que hoy forman parte de este museo y que han dado lugar a seis distintos apartados relacionados con el mundo de la magia y la brujer'ia.
Ente las piezas m'as destacadas del museo est'a la cabeza disecada del vampiro Oktavius Von Bergengruen, as'i como la legendaria "Piedra del Valle", una estalactita hallada en el noroeste de Italia en 1929, cuya forma se asemeja a la de un cr'aneo humano agarrada por una mano.
El museo cuenta con una peque~na colecci'on de instrumentos de tortura utilizados por la Santa Inquisici'on para hacer confesar a los acusados de brujer'ia o bien para ejecutar a aquellas personas condenadas por este delito.
Entre estos instrumentos se encuentran la "silla inquisidora" -un banco con p'uas de acero en su asiento en el que se sentaba a los acusados- o un "sambenito" del siglo XVI, t'unica con la que se vest'ia a los acusados cuando iban a ser ejecutados despu'es de un auto de fe.
Adem'as, el museo cuenta con una importante selecci'on de venenos, alucin'ogenos y afrodis'iacos utilizados por las brujas en la elaboraci'on de pociones, compuestos en su mayor'ia por plantas como la mandr'agora, la belladona, el cardamomo o la madreselva.
LA CABEZA DISECADA DE ESTA FOTO, ES DEL SUPUESTO VAMPIRO OKTAVIUS VON BERGENGRUEN
Alessandro Alviani asegur'o que el objetivo de este nuevo museo es "mostrar a la luz lo que siempre ha estado en la oscuridad, con el 'unico inter'es de mostrar los aspectos hist'oricos y antropol'ogicos de este mundo sin fomentar el aspecto morboso ni truculento".
Museo de las Brujas de Salem, Estados Unidos
Este Museo nos cuenta los sucesos que llevaron a juicio a ciento ochenta personas acusadas de brujer'ia en el pueblo de Salem el verano de 1692. Un tribunal las juzg'o r'apidamente; el proceso de Bridget Bishop, por ejemplo, la primera acusada, comenz'o el 2 de junio y el 10 de junio fue ejecutada.
Este sorprendente Museo nos espera con un espect'aculo de luz, sonido y figuras de tama~no natural que personifican la historia y los juicios de brujas de ese fat'idico a~no, examinando el fen'omeno que afect'o a un grupo de adolescentes, los estereotipos y mitos de la brujer'ia en el siglo XVII y su terrible consecuencia, la "caza de brujas".
La visita al Museo puede combinarse con un recorrido por las distintas ciudades que protagonizaron los hechos de brujer'ia del a~no 1692, abarcando todos las ciudades que son mencionadas en el juicio y en libros publicados posteriormente, comenzando por supuesto por Salem.
Salem, en Massachusetts, fue fundada por Roger Conant; una estatua de este personaje luce a la entrada del Museo de las Brujas y con frecuencia, debido a la imagen que representa, con capa y sombrero, es confundido con un participante de los juicios de Salem. Sin embargo, Roger Conant pertenec'ia a una tradicional familia de comerciantes de Clayton; fue contratado por una compa~n'ia pesquera para administrar sus asuntos en Cape Ann, la actual Gloucester; Conant decidi'o buscar un lugar permanente para la compa~n'ia en la desembocadura del r'io Naumkeag, y as'i naci'o la ciudad de Salem cuyo nombre evoca la palabra hebrea Shalom que significa paz.
Conant muri'o en 1679 y los juicios se realizaron en 1692. Despu'es de esto, Salem se convirti'o en una ciudad pr'ospera; en el siglo XIX se vio perjudicada por el desarrollo del transporte ferroviario que sustituy'o al mar'itimo, pero actualmente es una ciudad cosmopolita y fascinante.
Los juicios de Salem fueron y son una inagotable fuente de inspiraci'on para artistas y estudiosos. El escritor Arthur Miller revivi'o la historia como una alegor'ia del macartismo de mediados del siglo XX; la psic'ologa Linnda Caporael adjudic'o las extra~nas conductas de las adolescentes a la influencia del cornezuelo del centeno, un hongo que afecta a este y otros cereales y cuya ingesti'on provoca espasmos y alucinaciones; en 1992, el Premio Nobel de Literatura Elie Wiesel dedic'o una obra a los procesos de Salem. El Museo de las Brujas de Salem es uno de los principales atractivos tur'isticos de la ciudad.
El Museo de las Brujas en Navarra, Espa~na
El peque~no pueblo navarro de Zugarramurdi reabri'o el antiguo hospital como museo de la brujer'ia. El edificio, situado en el camino entre la localidad de 235 habitantes, y las cuevas que s'olo en 2009 recibieron 73.000 visitas, qued'o por fin visible y acondicionado de forma que ayuda a conocer y descubrir el fen'omeno de la brujer'ia las tradiciones y la represi'on inquisitorial del siglo XVII en la comarca de Xareta, integrada por Zugarramurdi y Urdax en Navarra y por Sara y Ainhoa en Francia.
El edificio, de tres plantas, es adem'as de centro de interpretaci'on de la brujer'ia oficina de turismo y promoci'on cultural y ecol'ogica en la zona. En la inauguraci'on participaron el consejero en funciones de Cultura de Navarra, Juan Ram'on Corpas, y el alcalde de Zugarramurdi, Jes'us Aguerre.
El museo cierra un camino que se abri'o hace m'as de cuatro a~nos y que sali'o adelante al recibir ayudas de la comunidad y de la Uni'on Europea. Su objetivo no es otro que el de servir de complemento a las cuevas y como centro de interpretaci'on de un fen'omeno que ha dado nombre y fama mundial a Zugarramurdi, pero del que quieren romper algunos mitos. Al frente de 'el est'a Ainhoa Aguirre, responsable de los recursos tur'isticos de la localidad.
Ella misma aclara que la idea del centro es ofrecer una visi'on de lo que ocurri'o en Zugarramurdi y
En una primera fase, se han abierto tres de las cuatro plantas del edificio. En la primera, junto a una sala de actos en la que se podr'a ver el audiovisual La caza de brujas y m'as adelante realizar charlas o actos culturales, se ha habilitado un mostrador de atenci'on al p'ublico, la oficina de turismo y una tienda. Tambi'en hay juegos interactivos sobre un mapa de la comarca de Xareta.
Ya en la primera planta, que como en la segunda se ha querido ambientar recreando , se ha incluido un en el que han quedado inscritos todos los nombres de las personas de la comarca relacionadas con el proceso inquisitorial y con el auto de fe de Logro~no, que supuso el mayor proceso de brujer'ia, con 7.000 causas. >
El Museo de la Brujeria, Berry, Francia
Esta en una granja un poco vieja, con 1.200 metros cuadrados de longitud, en la cual las brujas y brujos cobran vida en el famoso Museo de la brujer'ia.
El museo de la brujer'ia es un lugar, en el que se le rinde tributo a muchas historias que perduran al paso del tiempo, pasando de generaci'on en generaci'on, desde la 'epoca de la prehistoria hasta mediados del siglo XIX. Existe una gran cantidad de personas curiosas que se trasladan a este lugar durante todo el a~no, con el 'unico objetivo de visitar este museo y poder conocer sobre el pasado de las brujas, las cuales est'an meticulosamente reproducidas, por medio a los escenarios en donde se supone que vivieron, hace mucho tiempo. El lugar seleccionado para instalar este museo, no result'o casualidad, sino que Berry, el elegido, es famoso por todas sus historias e incluso su literatura en relaci'on al tema de las brujas y la hechicer'ia. El museo de la brujer'ia cuenta con salas dedicadas a: Druidas, Sombras, Duendes, Fantasmas.
Este museo se presenta como una nueva opci'on para los fan'aticos de este tipo de temas o simplemente para las personas que son curiosas, resulta una visita divertida y poco usual, definitivamente diferente dentro del recorrido por Francia.
El museo de Holmav'ik, Islandia
El museo en Holmav'ik, en la regi'on norte de Stradir, o museo de brujer'ia tiene gran acogida por el p'ublico dada la importancia que este 'arte' ha tenido a lo largo de la historia de Islandia. Egill SkallaGr'imsson y Svanur of Svansh'oll son los dos hechiceros m'as famosos del pa'is y decenas de personas fueron a la hoguera por "pactar con el diablo".
Los brujos eligiron esta regi'on para concentrarse debido a su situaci'on estrat'egica aislada de los centros m'as concurridos e importantes del pa'is.
Su creencia por criaturas m'agicas llega a tal punto que los islandeses cambiaron el proyecto de una carretera porque dec'ian que all'i viv'ian elfos.
Museo sobre la brujer'ia, Inglaterra
Este museo esta en Cornwall,y acoge la mayor colecci'on del mundo de objetos relacionados con la brujer'ia, en s'i, no esta solamente dedicado al tema en ese pa'is, pero si se centra bastante.
Fue creado en 1951, por Cecil Williamson en Castletown. Antes hab'ia tratado de instalarlo en Stratford-on-Avon, pero como en aquel lugar no les gustaba la idea de convivir con seres procedentes de realidades alternativas, impidieron su fundaci'on a base de obst'aculos burocr'aticos
En 1946 conoci'o en Londres a Gerald Gardner, disc'ipulo del c'elebre Aleister Crowley, y se asoci'o con 'el para diversos asuntos. Gerald Gardner est'a considerado hoy como el padre de la Wicca y, por lo que he visto, sus andanzas merecer'ian un cap'itulo aparte.
En 1948 Williamson adquiri'o el llamado Molino de las Brujas (Witches' Mill) en la Isla de Man y lo convirti'o en museo y restaurante. Gardner fue nombrado algo as'i como "brujo gerente". Gardner busc'o publicidad y logr'o convencer a varios peri'odicos y emisoras de radio y de televisi'on para que cubrieran las informaciones sobre brujer'ia. En esa misma 'epoca (1951) fue derogada la Witchcraft Act o Ley de la Brujer'ia (vigente desde 1735), por lo que 'esta empez'o a ponerse de moda.
Inicialmente Williamson quer'ia que el museo mostrara la forma de mirar el mundo desde el punto de vista de la brujer'ia, pero enseguida se dio cuenta de que lo que el p'ublico buscaba eran prodigios y empez'o a d'arselos. Gardner no estaba conforme con las exhibiciones de Williamson y con el tiempo la relaci'on entre ambos socios se fue deteriorando, en especial desde que el segundo le retir'o al primero una foto de una exposici'on.
Williamson decidi'o trasladar el museo a Inglaterra y en 1954 instal'o su colecci'on en Windsor. Pero la realeza y la brujer'ia se mostraron incompatibles y se vio obligado a mudarse de nuevo, esta vez a Bourton-on-the-Water (Cotswold). All'i, la comunidad cristiana no se mostr'o contenta con la llegada de lo que consideraban el Mal y el satanismo. Los aldeanos llevaron a cabo protestas frente al museo. Williamson recibi'o amenazas de muerte y encontr'o gatos muertos colgados de los 'arboles del jard'in. Un ala del museo fue incendiada intencionadamente. Era la hora de moverse otra vez.
Cecil Williamson se traslad'o definitivamente a Boscastle (Cornwall) y se mantuvo al frente del museo hasta su muerte, acontecida en 1996 a los noventa a~nos.
En agosto de 2004 el museo fue severamente da~nado por unas inundaciones.
El Museo de la Brujer'ia se organiza en categorias, como Adoraci'on del diablo y satanismo, C'irculos de piedra y lugares sagrados, Encantamientos y conjuros, Rituales m'agicos, etc. Posee adem'as una colecci'on de 3.000 libros sobre el tema.
