    Outwitted by a small, black cat called Elsa.

    By Waspie_Dwarf

    I have a small, black cat named Elsa. She is good company, generally very quiet and very well natured (although not always so well behaved). We are, however, in a battle of wits over a chair, and I think I am losing. A few weeks ago a relative of mine moved and had more chairs than was strictly necessary for her smaller flat. The chairs are much newer than the ones I had and so she gave them to me. That is where the battle started. Initially Elsa was happy to claim a chair of her

The Simple Apple

The Simple Apple The more I write, the more a mystery, writing becomes for me.  I often think that writing is like being a weaver with many different colored threads that are woven together to make the essay, or story, into a sort of multilayered work of art.  Then when people read, they take the writing and make it their own, and what they find is not always what I intended.   So, putting what one writes out there is a form of letting go of ownership.  I am sometimes amazed at what peop

Celebrities I Met (Revision 3/16/2024)

Celebrities I Met (Revision 3/16/2024) By Paul Dale Roberts, HPI's Esoteric Detective Halo Paranormal Investigations - HPI International. During my lifetime I came across many celebrities. More by accident than on purpose. I want to name a few that I met and explain to you how I met them. Let’s start off with Edward James Olmos. As a government worker, he was involved with a function at my government office (Secretary of State) and I saw him walking on the sidewalk, along the building and

March spiritual messages from the beyond

Synchronicity Given Meaning by Connections I was speaking with a friend who had recently suffered a familial loss. She described many coincidences that she’s experienced since her beloved’s death and, as I explained, this is because synchronicity, like dreams, is given meaning by the connections that we make internally to an external event. After carefully examining photographs, she noticed numbers appearing in places she hadn’t observed before.  In one instance, she noticed a long str

Chimera

Now we have the Chimera, a mishmash of other creatures much like the sphinx but more primal and animalistic. No riddles are asked by these guys. Chimera, in Greek mythology, a fire-breathing female monster resembling a lionin the forepart, a goat in the middle, and a dragon behind. She devastated Caria and Lycia until she was slain by Bellerophon. In art the Chimera is usually represented as a lion with a goat’s head in the middle of its back and with a tail that ends in a snake’s head. Thi

I am going to love everyone in my 30-foot circle. -Bail Bardis

I am going to love everyone  in my 30-foot circle. -Bail Bardis Gail is a good friend of mine.  When talking to her she can come up with some interesting statements that grab my intention.  One such statement went like this: “I am going to love everyone in my 30-foot circle”.  When she stated this, she was dealing with feelings of being overwhelmed about the state of the world.  So, she decided to narrow things down to something that she could actually deal with. Our 30-foot circle

Things Can Get Spooky in Elk Grove, CA - By Paul Dale Roberts

Drawing by Richard Vasseur.  Concept by Paul Dale Roberts. The drawing depicts Saint Gothic aka Deanna Jaxine Stinson in Paris, France (Eiffel Tower).     The day started off like any other day. There is rain outside, my dogs Pika and T-Rex are begging for their walk. They don't care if it rains or not. Sigh. But, I had to hold off on their walk. It was time to meet the paranormal group known as Gold Rush Ghosts. I met up with the team of Gold Rush Ghosts at an undisclosed locatio

Sphinx

Continuing with the lion motif lets take a look at the Sphinx.

It's All My Fault, Obviously.

My cat, Elsa, is having a right old whinge at me because SHE brought in a mouse, SHE let go of it and SHE lost it... so obviously it's MY fault. One of the supposed benefits of having a cat is that they keep your property free of mice. Unfortunately no one told Elsa this . I now have two mice in my house which I would not have if I didn't have a cat.

What is compassion

What is compassion? “If you only knew what compassion really is— the compassion you must strive to imitate! Overlooking everything to stoop to a heart’s needs, paying no attention to any disappointments or ingratitude, being even kinder to those who  have hurt you. Just be your Christ for them. Bossis, Gabrielle. He and I (p. 173). Pauline Books and Media. Kindle Edition. Compassion involves feeling another person's pain and wanting to take steps to help relieve their su

Grief

Most days I feel I have my grief about losing my husband under control.  I can talk of him without getting sad and it makes me feel better to say his name out loud.   However, yesterday and today were fresh reminders of the void he left.   I went through mental health training for work yesterday.   I was doing well until we had to watch a video about a widower and his son, dealing with their grief.   The actor who portrayed the widower was very good, his pain was palpable.   Out of nowhere, I fe

March Comes In like a Lion

As the title might suggest (or I’m yanking stuff out my keister) this month (March) I’ll be covering mythological critters that are lions with supernatural elements to them, or are a hybrid of creature with Lion bitties. These posts will be bare bone posts, so no extra flair this month. Todays topic will be the famous Nemean lion that Heracles killed as part of his many labors. Lets take a look at a blurb from wik.

A Strange Haunting in Folsom

I have always been a curious creature. I joined the Ordo Rosae Crucis (AMORC) aka the Rosicrucians to better understand secret societies. When I was going to college, I did a book report on cults like the Hare Krishna, Peoples' Temple, Church of Scientology and even the Church of Satan, by actually visiting these cults and talking with the members of these cults. Of course, I got an A in Sociology for actually doing my own personal investigations of these cults. The funny thing is that the Churc

Love has won

I originally was going to do my last February blog spot on Elisabeth Clare Prophet the founder of The Church Universal and Triumphant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Universal_and_Triumphant). During my research I had discovered Amy Carlson the cofounder of the cult ‘Love Has Won’ and thought she was much more appropriate to cover for the month of Love. So strap on inand enjoy this thumbnail sketch of an American female cult leader.  Amy Carlson (pictured above) known to her fol
