p. 22 Communistic flying saucers

"UFO-entities are part of a Communist plot to subvert the capitalist system" (Manning, 1978).

{All IFO-entities (together with their cultures, law-systems, etc.) are indeed communalist/communist (in the sense of right sharing of world-resources, and of eliminating social inaequities among persons); which is accomplished by such divine entities through peaceful means of non-violent methods of subversion, and to which a necessary praeliminary is the eliminating/deleting of the vicious, brutal capitalist system based on greed-maddened idiocies and sustained by disgustingly anti-social acts of extreme crude atrocities.}

p. 39 Michel Potay

"Michel Potay ... is a self-appointed apostle who dispenses from his 'house of the Revelation', near Bordeaux in south-west France, a teaching ... which ... was revealed to him by ... interest in the occult ... as a professional psychic in Lyon.

... a meeting with the anti-Pope Clement XV inspired him to ... set up his own semi-collective religious community in January 1974. On the night of 15 January a female voice woke him from sleep and ... Over the ensuing forty nights ... dictated a new gospel whose object was the reunion of Christianity with Judaism and Islam".

Encountres with Angels

45-50

p. 45 manifestation

[quoted from Steiger 1981] "Judging from those with whom I have worked and interacted,

the angelic entities wh8ich manifest to us often appear as one of the religious figures which we esteem highly -- such as a particular saint, guru, holy figure, master."

{Implyin g that angels are supernatural shape-shifters -- as, indeed, are supernatural agents generally, including dream-beings.}

Steiger 1981 = Francie Steiger : The Star People. Berkley (NY).

p. 46 one's guardian angel

"The classical Greek writer Menander {Menandros} tells us that 'by every man at birth a good demon {agatho-daimon} takes his, to initiate him in the mysteries of life'." {and likewise for women}

Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics.

p. 47 [quoted from the famous chemist Humphry Davy, "CT"] female angel appearing to a man during a temporary catatonic trance-state induced by severe ailment, whence recovery to normal health was eventually achieved by him

"I remained in an apparently senseless state, but in fact my mind was peculiarly active; there was always before me the form of a beautiful woman with whom I was engaged in the most interesting and intellectual conversation. ... this spirit of my vision ... had brown hair, blue eyes, and a bright rosy complexion ... : as I gained strength the visits of my good angel, for so I called it, became less frequent, and when I was restored to health they were altogether discontinued. [H.D. then described the corresponding human physical type as peculiar to "Illyria" (i.e., Albania).]

Now comes the extraordinary part; ... twenty years after my first illness, ... when I was exceedingly weak from a severe and dangerous malady ..., I again met [in "Illyria"?] the person who was the representative of ny visionary female : and to her kindness and care {apparently tending him while he was thus sick} I believe I owe what remains to me of existence {i.e., abetting his recovery}. ...

From youth, even to age, women are our guardian angels, our comforters; ... become the representative of your imaginary guardian genius."

{This could be re-phrased somewhat more definitely mystically : that mortals are divinely intended to be attracted to divinities of opposite gendre to themselves, and that in order to facilitate this, that instances of mortals of opposite gendre exist (being continually divinely sent, redincarnating onto this planet, after having lived out a praevious lifetime on some other planet) having bodies in the material world, thereby reminding us to seek out (in our dreams and in any visions) their divine exemplars.}

Davy, "CT" = Humphry Davy : "Consolations of Travel". In his Collected Works.

p. 48 the author (H.E.)'s remarks concerning the aforequoted statement by H.D.

"It is significant that Davy's 'guardian angel' is removed from any religious connotation;

{About the only way in which his mention of his own "'guardian angel' is removed from any religious connotation", is his employing in this context the term /imaginary/ instead of the usual more mystical /imaginal/ (referring to the divine heavenly realm of supernatural archetypes, i.e., of immortal deities); but not being erudite in the litterature of mysticism, he was using such vocabulary as was familiar to him}

not once does he suggest that his experience inspired any religious reflections."

{As a research-chemist busy at all exigencies with discoveries in chemistry, he would hardly have had the leisure for metaphysical contemplations of the conventional sort; but the very fact that a goddess not only appeared to him visionarily, but also (even two decades afterwards) sent a mortal woman, of her choosing, to him in order to tend him, would indicate that he had quite well satisfied the expectations concerning him by immortal denizens of the divine worlds. [Scientific discoveries, of practicable utility, by mortals are able, in lieu of disquisitions in metaphysics, to please the fastidious immortals.] (written Dec 8 2014)}

p. 48 male angel appearing to a woman

"Soeur {Soror} Jeanne des Anges ... at Loudun, France, in the 1630s ... claimed to be in continual contact with her angel, whom she described ... thus :

[translated from Legue & de la Tourette 1886 :] ... for more than two years my good Angel has appeared to me usually visibly and externally to my bodily eyes. He takes the form of a very handsome young man, about 15 years old, just over a metre tall. His clothes seem white, very bright; his two eyes seem to me like two suns; a greast light surrounds him, his face is serious but nonetheless very friendly."

pp. 54-5 at Vallensanges

p. 54

"The events at Vallensanges, a small village not far from St Etienne in central France, occurred in 1888 ... . ... At 7 in the morning of 19 July 1888, Jean ... saw ... a 'grande dame' ... . She smiled, then rose in the air and disappeared. She was wearing a white dress, a blue cloak spangled with stars, a veil and a golden crown ... . ...

At the next encounter he was followed by a light ... and ... She said she would henceforth appear twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sasturdays, and at the more convenient hour of 11 a.m. ...

p. 55

At the tenth she told him secrets which he never revealed.

At the eleventh ... when he threw holy water (another traditional test, which Bernardette also employed at Lourdes) she didn't disappear as she would have done if she had been a demon, but just smiled. ...

The twentieth encounter was, as she herself had announced, the final one; more than 800 people ... were present." (Bayle, 1978)

Encountres with Devils

59-68

p. 62 [translated from von Go:rres (of 1842) via St Foi, 1854] a woman who visited goddess "Venus" {i.e., Frigg?}

"Nider, in his Formicarius, has preserved ... the result of a test ... carried out towards the end of the fourteenth century. A Dominican divine learned of an old village woman

who believed she went travelling at night with

{She regularly experienced trance involving astral projection at those times.}

others of her kind. ...

{membres of her (in Latin terms) strigilia-practicing sorority of striges}

In their presence she placed herself in a kneading trough which was on a bench, and began to anoint herself while

uttering magical formulas.

{invocations of the deities whom she was to meet in her forthcoming dream/projection/transvection}

After a while ... she fell asleep. She then started to have visions where she saw

Venus and other such things,

{Frigg, along with Frigg's divine entourage?}

so that she began to rejoice aloud. Her violent movements shook the trough until eventually it fell off the bench, injuring her head. ...

This ... finally led the old woman to recognise and abandon her error."

{Her only "error" (as she herself must, at this point, have realized) consisted in confiding in a Dominican priest (Dominicans being notorious for persecuting the religious of other denominations, such as Cathars}; so that she thereupon abandoned her effort at coverting the Dominican to her own religion (of Teutonic seid?).}

von Go:rres via St Foi, 1854 = Johann Joseph von Go:rres (transl. from the German by Saint Foi) : La mystique divine, naturelle et diabolique. Paris.

{The Catholic priest (or exorcist, or whatever), on account of his blasphemous attitude toward Teutonic (specificly, Frankish) religion, had so annoyed the deities as to induce those deities to display their displeasure by causing her movements resulting in her slightly injuring herself (which had evidently never happened before). When she realized the cause of this, she resolved to feign conversion to Catholicism in order to satisfy, and thus to rid herself of further contact with, the priest.}

p. 63 psychotropic drugs constituting the unguent of striges

"Harper, writing in Folklore, has alleged that the traditional recipe -- a blend of atropa belladonna, aconite, sweet flag, cinquefoil, smallage, bats' blood ... -- would in fact have

psychotropic effects ... .

{specificly, projection of the astral body}

In experiments with belladonna, subjects had the illusion of changing location, ...

{Not an "illusion", it is actual projection of the astral body out of the material body, followed by transvection to a distance of many miles.}

though the bat's blood may have been thought to aid ... by means of 'sympathetic magic'."

{The vespertilionine ingredient may have been intended to influence spirit-bats said in the Odusseia to be of the nature of the souls of the dead conjured up amongst the Kimmerioi.}

pp. 63-4 harassment of a Catholic priest by a devil

p. 63

"Jean-Marie Vianney, ... the Cure' of d'Ars, a village near Lyon in central France ...

p. 64

For 35 years ... was plagued by an entity he named le grappin (which literally means 'hook') ... . The grappin would wake Vianney up with strange noises at night ...; it shook the curtains of the priest's bed, sometimes shifted it ... . ... It imitated the roar of a bear". (Trochu, 1925)

Trochu, 1925 = Francis Trochu : Le cure' d'Ars. Vitte, Lyon.

pp. 65-6 a young woman who achieved miraculous powers with assistance of devils

p. 65

"Vail Hamilton who had been attracted by the promised benefits of Transcendental Meditation ... said, ... 'as my consciousness changed, I began to become aware of the presence of spirit beings sitting on either side of me when I was meditating. ...'

p. 66

... [quoted :] I awoke one night with a sense of fear and apprehension, because a spirit was putting pressure all over my body and head ... . ...

{This is the so-called "Old Hag Syndrome".}


I began to experience other supernatural sensations -- ESP and clairvoyance, telepathy, and the beginnings of astral travel."

p. 67 sold herself to the Devil

[quoted from Pelton, 1979] "She had quite some time ago sold herself completely to the devil. ... For quite some period of time she had been worshipping and serving him. Then the consequences began -- poltergeist ... phenomena, visions ... of the Devil".

Encountres with Folklore Entities

69-72

p. 69 contemporary European water-nymphs

"in Eastern Europe she becomes a rusalka ... luring male passers-by ...; or

she may be a swan-maiden ..., discarding her swan feathers and assuming human form for the moment; or

she may be ... a huldra from Norway with whom human shape is habitual".

pp. 69-70 [quoted from the J OF THE SOC FOR PSYCHICAL RESEARCH vol. 20, no. 373 (Mar 1921)] statement by Mrs Celia Alleyne about fairies seen by her

p. 69

"first I would hear faint music growing louder and louder till my room was filled with music, and from every side little fairies came ... . ...

p. 70

A short time ago ... I could hear ... harmony ..., I could see an aura to every flower and the fairies were there in colours like the auras. ...

I could see a blue light ..., ... a guiding light which ... the fairies brought for me. ... [The stature of those fairies] is from four to six inches ... .


Concerning clothing -- not any; they appeared to me iridescent, instead of being a solid whole they were visible vibrating particles. ...

{I somewhat similarly have often seen (decades ago in B., L. Co., GA, in the abode of, and praesumably attracted by, the praeternal contacts of my then-wife) a nude goddess (full-size) whose body was a blackness covered with glowing tiny dots -- not, however, iridescent, but always mere orange in color [apparently mental-planes bodies, which are often described as "golden"], and not vibrating. The deities whose visible subtle-bodies [specifically, causal-plane bodies] are comprised of iridescent (diversely-colored color-shifting) vibrating dots are, of course, superior to [of loftier plane than] what I have hitherto witnessed while awake.}


I have never noticed any wings."
