The grand old country England is steeped in history and legend. But everyone always assume they are a sensible race - a bit quiet, slow to change maybe, not given to absurd flights of fancy. How wrong everyone is.

In fact England is positively crawling with witches, warlocks, wizards and water diviners. There is a hardly a village in the Kingdom where you will fail to find someone gazing into a crystal ball, offering to tell your fortune, or getting involved in close encounters with aliens.

Forget Salem, when it comes to the occult, They`ve cornered the market. Harry Potter isn't just a best seller and an international movie hit - it is real life for many of us in europe. There are parts of England where one in ten of the people believe they have the power to teleport their neighbors - pick them up and spirit them away, literally.

The northern county of Yorkshire, for example, is packed with telepathists, time-travelers, enchanters, mediums and astrologers. Essex - to the east of London - contains the highest number of people subscribing to ancient pagan customs and rituals, and in Kent - just south of the capital - has three times the national average of psychic healers.

This isn't just mumbo jumbo. It is the result of detailed academic research overseen by a leading cleric of the Church of England which normally has a vested interest in playing such things down. But even the Church can't disguise the extent of this revival. The survey found only two places in the land where it fails to flourish - the industrial Midlands of England - which is a bit short of the open green spaces most witches prefer (nowhere safe to land your broomstick..lol..), and parts of Western Scotland, which is far too cold and bleak for anything.

Everywhere else the paranormal is booming in europe. Ancient spells are available on every sidewalk and there not what they useto be. They are good spells. It may seem peculiar but please don't mock. The days of using ones paranormal abilities for negative purposes is hopefully fading its way.

The English word "spook" is derived from both the Dutch (spook) and German (spuk) languages and was used originally to describe a ghost, thus the spirit of the dead person, or else a spectre, which itself means “a visible or incorporeal spirit, especially one of a terrifying nature” that can be either an apparition or even an illusion that still seems real. This can also include being like a phantom, an apparition without material substance or an image formed in the mind, especially in dreams. The world is learning at a fast pace.

So we "the paranormal incorperating entities" have been thru many trivials from being hunted down, slaughtered, hung, beheaded, burned and beaten beyond - has the time now come in which the world is ready to admitt that "we all" are normal? Have we incarnated anew venture onto the earth inwhich the purpose is to "help others" understand?

Its what you do with what you know is what counts towards changing the world for the better.

What do I know... I`m not a witch..or am I?

Nanna,

The old country has always been that way i believe.

  Och Lassy, tis that old, pesky Celtic blood flowing still in England, though the Saxons, and others tried to wipe it out...  Course, you can't fully wipe something out, when you're sleeping with its women, now can ya?

  No seriously, Celtic blood, certain Native American tribes (particularly some of the Iroquois), and other little pockets of groups like the Basque's, etc., all are directly descended from that very (innately) psychically sensitive race who came from not so fair sometimes, Atlantis. 

  Sure, sound's pretty out there...and yet there are certain anomalies that science and anthropology don't explain pretty well, though they like to think their theories air tight (i certainly wouldn't use them as life rafts on a sinking boat, but that's just me and my nose for b.s.b.s.).

   For example, as mentioned, there are certain, seemingly totally unrelated people's scattered around the world that share certain unique cultural, genetic/blood type similarities not found in the majority populaces, as well as some of them like the Basques and Celts for example...well no one really, definitively knows where these folks originally come from.   

  Some linguists who have studied some Native American dialects (maybe some Iroquois? don't remember), and Gaelic, have pointed to a commonality between these otherwise extremely separated languages.   

  Interesting to note that certain Native Tribes, particularly on the East Coast, and around the Ohio areas, certain parts of Canada (again, more towards the east) tended to a coppery, reddish skin tone.     What are the Celts known for, their infamous reddish tinted hair and even skin to some extent, though they are quite a bit lighter on average than most Native genetics.   

   Or, it even gets weirder.   One of the groups pointed to as being in that unusual and fairly rare genetic/blood type group, is a little pocket of peoples in the Mongolian region.    Some of my wifes descendent's, being Polish, can trace some of their ancestry back to some Mongolian descent, which came in through and near the Turkish area at one point. 

One of her relatives, i believe her grandfather (on that Polish side), and to a lesser extent, one of her aunts, has a very reddish but yet somewhat dark skin tone, very unusual and exotic looking so i've heard.  They look much more akin to Eastern-mid Native American than they do "Asian".   

Edgar Cayce and others called the Atlanteans the "Red Race", and said that they had emigrated to various places in the world when their continent was broken up over a looong period which contained many breakups (so many emigrations).    Eastern North America, the Pyrenees mountain area, Egypt, and a couple of other areas were mentioned as major immigration influx areas.

  So, if this "crazy" theory has any truth to it, then what i'm saying is simple.   The Atlanteans according to a few psychic sources, were known to be collectively a rather psychically sensitive sub racial group of humans, very highly intuitive, especially as compared to the populations around them who were still essentially "cave folk".   (this intuition, unfortunately got them into a lot of collective trouble via advanced technology).

   Their descendants who show the more active and predominant genes related to same, though they may have been mixed, blended, stir fried, shaken but not stirred, ad infinitum, also tend to be rather psychically sensitive too, speaking in general and on average. 

  Quite a few very well known psychics or intuitive folks, seemed to have some of these descendant groups highlighted in their DNA.   Take both Bob Monroe and Edgar Cayce, both have a strong Scotch background and no i don't mean the drink.    Today we have Gordan Smith, who seems to be unusually psychically attuned. 

   This unfortunately can be a very "touchy" subject, cause well the world has become very "P.C." to the nth degree, and one cannot point out general differences in racial characteristics beyond the obvious physical stuff like, skin tone, eye color, etc.    The moment one starts to bring this past and beyond the obvious physical characteristics, is oft the moment one starts to labeled..nay branded a "racist". 

  Most people i've found, even folks into spirituality, don't seem to understand what the body really means in relation to the Soul and Mind forces, that genetics, DNA, hereditary and all that, is naught but a patterned reflection or projection, over long time/space cycles of that which we call Soul and Mind, the relative mix and interaction between matter, Soul, and Spirit.    This approaches what one could call a 4th dimensional understanding of the 3rd dimension, and how "physical" and "nonphysical" intertwine and yet have their innate differences as well. 

  So, ye ole England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, still have a pretty strong Celtic influence, and while definitely quite mixed, it's not to the degree that much of America is and has been.   

  It has been said that the sins (karma) of the Fathers, are visited upon the latter generation...  So true in many ways. 

   Some Native American tribes and peoples were said to be unusually gifted, on average, in the psychic sensitivity department, which no doubt became heightened through their constant attunement to the nature forces. 

  One of the very last "wild" tribes of Europe, and also lived more attuned to and in balance with nature, the Scottish Highlander tribes, well if you look at their culture and customs, before it was semi wiped out, you can see quite a lot of similarities with certain North American Native tribes.

  Of course, genetics is not all directly related to Soul, character, and all that, a portion is of course due to environment pressure and shaping.  It's not, no pun intended, a black and white issue.     Someone asked Cayce about the races once, and he said simply something like, "would snow be the place for black, or white be the place the plains, etc,"    Yet at the same time, his source seemed to indicate that the different, major 5 races of humanity, represent different characteristics and can even be related to the senses.   The yellow related to hearing, black to appetite/taste, white to vision, red to feeling, etc.     They seemed to be related to the different Chakras to some extent too, speaking only in a very generalized sense and not pertaining to all or even most individuals within a certain group.   Very controversial, complex, and fascinating stuff i think.   

  Steiner also had some ideas along these lines, and some have unfairly characterized him as having been a racist, prejudiced man.   Sure, you could take some of his stuff way out of context, and point to that, but in many different vast subjects with a lot of intertwining, complex, and relative info, one could take just a snippet out of context and un fairly, and inaccurately characterize it as something its not as compared to when you look more to the whole of the info.  Particularly very left brain dominant types, are very good at that narrow focus, cut and snip, type tendencies.

  So Tah Nah Sen...wonder where that phrase came from?
