It was incredible. I
feel so much joy, love and energy inside myself at this moment.
I've never felt this so intensely as now. The ritual was
beautiful. (Frank performed the Fire Ritual to Invoke the Shield
Guides a few days before the Cathedral ritual.) As I was
speaking the words, I felt the power in my voice rising. It felt
so good, that I said the words again. Both first and second
time, when I came to the part of Metatron, I could see an angel
with a sword, this must of been Michael, slicing his sword into
the ground. Through the slice came fire, which formed a portal
in the center of Stonehenge.
After that it first became very quiet. I just felt a lot of
energy in my room. Then I saw a vortex of clouds building in the
portal. It reached out to me and filled me completely. It went
straight into my heart. I was completely overwhelmed with joy,
love, light, compassion, understanding, trust and awareness. I
just enjoyed this for about half an hour. Then suddenly I saw a
hand coming out of the portal. It holded a sword and reached out
to me.
A voice said; you
are the keeper of the frequency of this domain. It is your task
to prevent other energies from harming this domain. I was given
the sword and told to stand up, hold the sword straight up and
to sway the sword as hard as I could. When I did this I could
feel a enormous power emanating form it. This reached inside of
me, but also went out of it into the sky. It was like there was
forming a shield overhead. This encircling the earth. >From
inside the core of the earth a very intense power came rushing
out. This formed a matrix around the planet. My heart was
pounding and I just felt intense joy. I knew nothing could go
wrong anymore. Everybody would be protected for ever. I felt
like the planet was smiling.
I sat down again, still holding the sword. I was told to place
it into my heart, which I did. Then my whole body felt like an
oven, a very intense heat which burnt away a lot of pain inside
of me. I touched my first and fourth chakra and just stayed that
way for about half an hour. Then the ritual was over. I felt at
ease. Incredible! I'm planning to use the ritual, all of them if
that's okay with you, in a workshop that two friends of my and
myself are facilitating in the coming months. Thanks. I'm
looking forward to the next ritual. By the way, what do you
think the sword I received is all about?
Krista Essler Brooklyn, NY
I will be gone all
day today so decided to do the ritual this morning. In my
portal, at the four corners, are crystal, a piece of wood, a
stone from Egypt and some shells. Above one of the four doorways
is 2 peacock feathers. I prepared my space a few days ago for
the ritual by adding gold from Brazil, Amethyst and silver
ribbon along with my color print out of the Divine Mother disk.
I was very excited to do this ritual as I embark on a career
change into the healing arts. As I said the ritual, I felt the
air thicken. It was very exciting! I felt spirits around me
working on my throat and heart chakras. I asked for the things
to come to me in order for me to be able to go back to school to
learn acupuncture. I asked for guidance. I then felt myself
drawn back to a past life in Germany where I was a monk who
studied herbs. I saw myself in that life using alchemic symbols.
I felt my vibration raise.
It was a wonderful experience that I will carry with me all day
as I go off to my homeopathic certification seminar. Another
note: On Wednesday, in meditation, I had seen the Masonic
symbol. It made me aware of the coming of the energies for the
Templar Knights.
Robert Love: Canada
My ritual time was
interrupted by pressing events, but was able to be present. Did
anyone notice the odd odor at the sacred alter and from the area
behind the alter? It has to do with a recent event there. The
Knights Templar were and are out in force and represent to be on
a very special mission for our present time. Interesting
energies have been experienced at the Cathedral in recent weeks.
Did anyone pick up on this? Still looking at the time in the
ritual.
The Cathedral at Chartres has been a focal point for the
Mystical activities of the Knights Templar for centuries and was
built for them by the Free Masons for activities similar to what
you call 'Portal'. These activities are generators for energy
fields of transmission through radiance and were initially
designed to magnify the potential energy of the celebrations of
the Mass (in those times the ultimate ritual) out into the
surrounding area as a protection or shield for the people. The
times of the origination of these Cathedrals were dark times for
humanity and the role of the Templars was, as it is today, to be
keepers of the Sacred Ritual energies which bring the Mystical
energies of Peace Joy and Love (enlightenment) into the lives of
the people.
In the past month there was a fire in the chambers of the
Bishop, behind the Alter, where certain artifacts and vestments,
deemed by the Templars to be directed toward more expanding the
power of the Church and the ego of the individual, were purified
by a mysterious fire. The odor that came from this purification
was not acrid like smoke but very sweet like the scent of the
presence of Mary. This is obviously an outward manifestation of
the modern activities of the Templars whose existence is for the
keeping and perpetuation of the mystical powers, which are the
heritage of HU-MAN kind. These new activities have been
acknowledged in sacred sights around the world and are believed
by many to be a sign of great changes in our Mystical/Spiritual
world of understanding. The energies always have signatures in
frequency and these are very definitely Templar/Mystical
energies which are usually signs of redirection and change in
our Human lifestyle and our relationship with Creator (The
Eighth Ray).
In my practices, all experiences are time related, like your
references to "retrograde time". To me everything out side this
dimension has no time, therefore it is time related. It becomes
a compressed awareness of experiences. Because this is out of
our normal frame of conscious awareness, we use practices which
allow us to, for lack of a better description, function as if we
always existed there in no time. Our experience of this realm is
that all things function beyond this dimension as "Light moving
at the speed of Thought", which Mystically described is Creation
energy.
Every journey of this type has related physical experiences. In
our work we try to practice awareness and attune to the physical
surroundings as we move through them into the etheric and
dimensional realms. Recognizing that there are truly
"Gatekeepers" whose total existence is to keep these gates open
so that we can have access at the appropriate times. After a
while and after many experiences we learn to stop and visit with
them and in this awareness we become familiar with and to the
"familiars". They become old friends who support our activities
on the path of actions which support that which they are
dedicated to support. We are seen as a committed part of the One
and not just voyagers "What they call children playing around
the gates". All of our journeys have a purpose and are required
by the Creative energy to fulfill that purpose.
I truly honor what you are doing. My total function on this
plane is as a servant of those who serve the whole, The One. In
the other realms it is much more fun because you can see more
clearly all things at once in every direction and the beginning
and the end are one. Accelerated and retrograding time is merely
scanning the reality of no time and looking at the pictures. It
takes some getting used to but once you can live with the weird
experience it becomes reality.

I am signing back on
after having been through the ritual. Wow! Who could've thought
it would've been so heavenly. I had a chance to really love up
my portal, I made the eastern cross over the place where I sit.
The cross was made of pink rose petals from a dozen pink roses I
received for Valentines day. My circle was filled with crystals,
many from our creek, and angels. Every angel doll, figurine,
candle, Christmas ornaments, they all wanted to be in the
circle. My five candles were angels and my power web lightworker
was at the north node. As I finished the ritual I began to float
off, past the earth's blue atmosphere and into outer space.
I watched all the
stars shooting past me as I headed in the direction of the
comet. I then reached a region that had heavenly clouds and
suddenly thousands and thousands of angels appeared. I remember
thinking, wow, legions of angels. Then as I floated past a ridge
and could peer on the other side, I saw several angels erecting
a cross of light. Then every thing went to pink and I found
myself back at my portal. I had to perform this ritual at 5:30am
on March 9. Although I sat in my portal from 8:30 to 8:33pm to
"link up for a couple minutes" I could not perform it until
almost dawn. The pink light of dawn lit my portal in a gossamer
way. It was fun! Wow!

Nothing unusual to
report in tonights ritual. At least not yet. We may see results
for this one come in over a period of time. Before the ritual
began, I burned some incense and meditated for about 30 min. in
a hot tub of water. Then I dressed in white. I set up my portal
in a circular fashion on a white lace tablecloth from Spain. The
patterns crocheted in it looked like the shields on one of the
portal discs. I used the Latin cross fashioned out of two
different sets of rosary beads with the candles at each end of
the cross and the 5th at the north end of the cross.
Along with several
pieces of crystal, I used several sacred items. One was the
small picture of the Ark of the Covenant. a small statue of
Archangel Michael and a small photo of Archangel Gabriel for
either side of the Cross. I also used a small candelabra like
the ones on the ark that came from Jerusalem. I set it up pretty
much like you did and used both The Divine Mother disk and the
Shri Yantra disk, also the water and the earth. I had a large
photo of Mother Mary at the head of the cross. I also used a
white lace pillow. It made a lovely alter, and was a beautiful
ritual. Afterward I meditated. I also checked out the sky, but
it's raining and overcast here. Many Blessings and much Love to
you.
Tom Yudai: Canada
Thank you for
creating and sharing the ritual material and experience. A group
invited me to facilitate an event so 20 people joined together
to participate in the Chartres Portal Ritual. We started with
building the altar with everyone putting in a crystal in a
spiral and had other personal power objects in it. We then
chanted three times. The second time with each one's perfect
vision of the Earth, and the last time to propel each one's
perfect vision for themselves.
We divided the ritual prayer into twelve verses, each verse in
sequence read from a different direction, starting in the east,
then south, west & north. It was powerful and, in the sharing,
one mentioned seeing the light connecting in rods to the disk
and moving up. Another mentioned the prayer breaks down the old
blocked patterns. We ended with giving out tarot cards to each
participant. Some used the cards as an aid in sharing. I got the
ace of wands.
Dream that night of being on the phone with someone. A lightning
bolt goes through the phone line, but I continued talking, the
person on the other end is different after the lightning and
hung up. The picture window is broken & shattered. A few people
in a garage trying to figure out how to open the door that is
broken.
Roger Kerr: Colorado
Saturday was a
strange day. Starting Friday night, I was feeling a lot of
negative energy, that I just could not clear. Saturday morning I
was still feeling it, a lot of fear and apprehension. I did a
clearing meditation in the morning and I felt a lot better, but
still not totally clear. All day I felt this uneasy, heavy
negative energy. I would try to clear every so often, and I even
went up to the Astral plane and allowed any Earthbound spirits
to ascend if they chose to. That helped, but the negative energy
was still present.
For the Ritual, I used the Divine Mother portal disk, 6 quartz
crystals in a Star of David pattern, 4 Medicine Cards: Eagle,
Whale, Turtle, and Deer.
I placed 4 colored
stones: red, yellow, black and white; and 4 candles at the
corners of the cross, and a fifth candle in the North. I also
used my Amethyst crystals. At 6:30 PM MST, I began the Ritual. I
was still feeling the negative energy that I felt all day, so I
did a short clearing meditation before I began. I still wasn't
really comfortable with the energy, but I began the Ritual
anyway. As I read the words, I began to feel surges of positive
energy. At the point of 'meditate for a while', I focused on the
portal disk for a short while and then went into a meditation. I
did a 'clearing flow' meditation to start with, as I was still
feeling the negative energy. After a short delay, I wasn't
totally clear, but I was calm enough to begin the Astral
journey.
I stepped into the
'Tunnel' and came out through the portal in the Cathedral floor.
Claire greeted me, and we walked through the corridor of arches
to the 'Sacred Center' (S4), where a beam of Light was coming
through a window above and to the right. I stood in the Light
for a while, and then I felt like I was falling. I ended up at a
pool of water (below the Cathedral?). There were several people
there and we all just sat around the edge of the pool. It was
like the 'pool of the quiet deep'. After a while, we all got up
and walked through the stone portal into a passage way that led
to a cave-like chamber. There was a fire in the center and the
smoke swirled upward through an opening in the ceiling. We sat
around the fire, then I came back to the room in my house, and I
finished the ritual. Each time I read 'Open Sesame', I could
feel a burst of energy. Then I just relaxed for a few minutes,
and I went back into another meditation.
Immediately, I was back at the fire in the 'cave'. I floated up
with the smoke through the opening. There were several small
chambers on each side, then it narrowed down again. It's like I
was going through the 'World Soul Matrix'. When I got to the
sphere at the top I was floating above the clouds. I could see
the Cathedral below, and drifted right over it. Then I could see
the beam of Light coming down from above and going down into the
Cathedral. But instead of going back down, I went up the beam of
Light. The beam turned into a 'ladder', and I climbed up. Then I
came to the base of another long and wide set of stairs. As I
climbed the stairs, I had the impression that it was on the side
of a pyramid. At the top I was greeted by a woman with long dark
hair, in a white dress.
Another woman came
out to greet me, and they walked me back into a room of sorts,
one on each side of me. Then it was like I was in an elevator
and was descending, and I was alone. I went down to one level,
and then descended again. When I came out I couldn't see
anything and had no idea where I was. I stood there quite a
while. It was dark, and I could never really see anything, and
no thoughts occurred to me to let me know where I was. It felt
uncomfortable, but not really threatening. I didn't understand
why I was there, and there was no one there to tell me anything,
so after a while I asked Pi if I could be taken back up to the
top, and she did. I didn't see anyone at the top, so I walked
back down the stairs. Then it got really weird. I felt like
someone or something was attacking me, like a psychic attack.
My body literally
went into convulsions and I instinctively rolled over on to my
stomach (I had been lying on my back). I asked Pi to bring me
home and she did. Afterwards, I did not have a good feeling,
just feelings of caution, apprehension and uncertainty as to
what had just happened. I still don't know where I was or what
happened. It was almost like I was in the 'Void' or possibly the
'Dark Side', I don't know. I just know that it wasn't a very
friendly place. About 3 hours later, after feeling some intense
anger and rage, it became obvious that whoever had attacked me
was still with me. So I smudged myself several times, they
finally left. Then I finally felt at peace again. Maybe it was
one of my Reptile 'friends', I'm not sure.
Claire, do you have any idea of what that pyramid and the
elevator might have represented? I'm still baffled by the whole
thing. I'd never had anything negative like that happen before
on any of my Astral journeys. I guess if this was a test, I must
have flunked. I'd appreciate any comments you might have.
Frank van der Palen Heusden, Holland
Now this was a
powerful ritual! I'm still shaking. It did cost me some sleep as
in Holland it was 02.30 a.m. when it took place. Anyway I'm
grateful for everything that happened although I'm puzzled by
parts of it, but maybe you can explain to me the part of the
ring. Here are the results.
I woke up even before the alarm went of by a voice calling me
that it was time and that "they" were waiting for me. A couple
of seconds the alarm rang. I started preparing at 02.00 a.m. and
immediately felt the intense energy. A very high pitched sound
kept ringing in my ears. When saying the words of the ritual I
again felt the tremendous power in my voice. Also it felt like
there was a constant flow of healing energy coming from the
portal. That's also what happened a lot throughout the ritual,
it was a very physical experience. My body was being constantly
healed, cleansed and fed by the energy. While meditating on the
disks, I used both; with the disk of the Divine Mother facing up
and the Shri Yantra disk facing downwards, I felt myself being
pulled down into the earth.
Again it felt like
being healed and there was a intense "Sun" shining on me. After
the ritual was over and when I started meditating I saw a very
intense light coming form the place where the earth and water
was put on the disks, it filled me completely and it then formed
into a cross of light. Then the virgin Mary appeared, she held
the cross into her hands. I knew everything and everybody was
being filled with the energy of love. My body was being pulled
at and stretched out. For about 20 minutes the energy kept on
flowing through my body, and it was like it was focusing on the
parts of my body that are troubling me sometimes, and they were
being healed. There were a lot of presences in the room and I
was sitting in a dome of light all through the rest of the
meditation. While writing down everything last Sunday morning,
kept on seeing earth with a cross of light.
At a certain moment I saw earth being reborn. It started by
seeing a red fiery ball/planet. I started to cool down, because
its color went from red to black/brown. There was lightning and
water and clouds appeared. I felt life being formed and then
heard: "We are the prophets, welcome in our world. We are here
to teach you to be one of us". Again there was this intense
healing energy, being stretched by exterior forces. This
continued for a while. Then clouds were forming in the portal.
Slowly they started to clear and through the haze a hand
appeared that was in water.
It wore a golden
ring with a small ball of light on top of it. The ring was
handed to me and I was to put it on my right hand ring finger. I
can still feel it there. I was to show the ring to the forces
present and kept my right arm and hand in the direction of the
portal. A voice said: You are here to help us Lord Templar.
Stand up". 12 Templar came in and for each one I bowed my head.
I am sure I know them, at least that's what it felt like. The
room I was in was filled with light and I sat down again and
enjoyed the experience. Slowly the energy was returning to
normal. I felt peace and a enjoyable fresh energy came in to me,
bottom up. I saw signs of the zodiac turning anti-clockwise and
I turned with it. Then it was all over.
The next day the weather here in Holland was completely changed.
It was about 20 degrees Celsius which is about 10 above average
and it was very crowded at the beach were I went to. I'm not
into large crowds, so I didn't stay long. But I kept on seeing
people that were hurrying along, not enjoying themselves or the
weather. There was lots of sorrow with them and all I could feel
was this intense love coming out of my heart. It felt great, but
also I felt pain because of all this grief in the other people.
To be truthful, I was happy to go home again. Now, a day after
the ritual I feel peace and trust. There is change in the air.
An important step has been taken.
Barbara Casey-Sorrell Hawaii
March 8 at 4:00, 14
women gathered to honor the new moon. We smudged, called in the
directions and performed the sun ray dance, a Tibetan-Cherokee
movement honoring the 4 directions and races. We banished all
oppression of women by lighting a candle, then each lit a
candle, invoking empowerment for the future. We shared some pain
regarding the pollution and harming of Mother Gaia, held that
pain in our hearts as we envisioned a healed earth. We sang
songs celebrating lives of wholeness. Then we began the Portal
opening ritual. On a rose colored cloth I had placed a copy of
the cross of the Mother and a copper plate with the Sri Yantra
on it as focal points.
A selection of
feminine energy cards from the Crowley tarot and the Hawaiian
aumakua deck were interspersed with crystals to make a cross.
Water blessed by Sai Baba was used during the ritual. The
feeling was very strong and powerful during the ceremony; some
of us saw the Mother come in white, and later at night outdoors
in the hot tub, she came again. Her presence was strongly felt.
Afterwards we played drums, sang songs, feasted and hot tubbed.
This ceremony took place after a day of ceremony by a small
group of crones -- 4 of us -- who meditated, shared our deepest
truths and performed group massage. Thanks for the wonderful
ceremony -- I'm looking forward to the next one!
Hildur Hakonardottir: Iceland
Friday I found
myself in a splendid English Tudor home (in England), with
coloured glass windows in the hall and magnificent oak carvings
designed by the same architect as built the Catholic Westminster
Cathedral in London !! (not Abbey, which is older). That night I
sat down in the prayer room (the house had been run by nuns). My
preparation was scant as I was traveling but I read the prayer
slowly with much attention.
First there were very strong blue and violet colours in each
side of the body - after praying to Sophia for wisdom I myself
became the form of a cathedral - the feeling was so beautiful
that tears came to my eyes. The church surely was foreshortened
- but my body shell was that sacred form. I asked to see what
beings were about and realised a huge angel on one side. I
sensed the spirit of Jesus but when thinking: No, he is in
Glastonbury to-night as I knew they were meditating there, and
when I caught on to how silly this was, of course his spirit was
everywhere - then something wondrous happened; I - the cathedral
form - somehow got mingled with the form of the house - and I
sensed all the beings of the night - the countryside was alive
with countless spirits of spring - the night itself became so
big somehow, so alive and we were all totally present ---- some
people talking and laughing outside were like small unknowing
children in the huge, alert, knowing night full of unseen
beings.
Saturday night I got up at one oclock but I was quite sleepy. I
went again to the prayer room. The Goddess first appeared as all
the "sculptured" gentle ladies be it Mary or Kin Yin - it did
not matter. I first hesitated to accept a big silver cross
pendant because I thought it was in the shape of the German Nazi
cross - but the Goddess blessed me, handed it over and told me
to guard her realm in all its " many foldedness". (To wash the
hem of her soiled petticoats was needed and I took it to mean
the pollutions and overturning and tampering with the surface of
the earth).
I saw her holding all the men of the world under one arm and she
was quickly plucking out one and one and setting them " free"
into the feminine energy sphere - but the women I somehow knew
were divided into three groups:
1. those that
were slovenly or not awake
2. those that seeking to get under her arm with the men
3. those that dwelt in their own feminine (rightful) energy.
The Goddess assumed
the form of a young girl, thin and agile with this light gait,
benevolent in all aspects but sometimes I sensed her bigger than
ever before.
I sat at the roots of the world tree. I saw the Knights Templar
come forth saying they delegated their wisdom to the monks and
then later to laymen and scientists and those were natural and
necessary routes. I was given a silvery shawl and a crown which
I resisted - but realising it was a golden ring I accepted. I
was in a bubble of peach pink life force. The crystal world
opened up as vibrational pattern from a centre and at a certain
points where lines met and planes opened up angels sprang forth
from the crystalline outgoing vibration. It was truly beautiful.
Charbern: Arizona
Have been feeling a
lot of that energy. Archangel Michael has been my primary guide
for the last week or two. Xeia/Maureen and I did the ritual
together on the phone. Received messages from Michael, and also
from Annuk, another guide who came onto the scene several weeks
ago as our Teacher during this phase. Annuk was our teacher in
the Mystery Schools in Egypt.
Momentums of increased efficiency seem to be part of these newer
energies. I continue to get shaken. It's progressed... different
kind of shaking. It's now a finer, higher frequency vibration,
but still comes on like gangbusters. They are trying to expedite
the opening of my eyes and ears with this shaking.
Also met my guardian angel a couple days ago. She appeared to
Maureen, spoke to us briefly, then returned to me. Her name is
Phylestria. Very sweet, and extremely powerful. She told me
right out that she'd be shaking me hard. She was telling the
truth. But I'm inviting them to shake me as much and as hard as
is needed, to both facilitate and expedite this process. Thought
I was gonna pop some blood vessels yesterday, and when she was
done with me for the day, I felt like I'd gone 10 rounds with
Mike Tyson. Phylestria is a geometry angel, among whatever other
attributes and history she no doubt has. She's triangle, or
pyramid, though when she appeared to Maureen, it was as a
beautiful female, preceded by a deep lavender light.
Dawn/Wunjo Aspen, Colorado
I did not do the
ritual I really did not know what to so I didn't. But I have
been feeling more energy and positive and I just got a raise at
work so maybe I am experiencing some of what you are talking
about WOW how exciting. Thank you for bring it to my attention,
and I plan on doing the next ritual so keep in touch.
Krista Essler Brooklyn, NY
What I have been
experiencing is the ability to apply my knowledge of healing
that I have learned thus far. I have since the ritual,
successfully prescribed homeopathic remedies to 3 people. I am
teaching a Reiki student this evening.
Todd:
Things are changing
here in Houston but, can't pin point it yet.
I have been most
well over these past weeks. I can say that time has been like a
roller coaster for me and others around me. Times of doubt,
sadness and hope have turned into joy and an unbelievable
renewal. I personally have a hard time with rituals in general.
It seems like a complicated procedure. My personality seems to
only allow for doing things "right." Which is to say that I get
concentrated on structuring every step of the way and not
"letting go." It's almost as if there is some other way I need
to express what your rituals are accomplishing. Perhaps it is a
blockage of some sort, I'm not quite sure.
Dreams have been my main source of learning and experience
lately. Last night I had a dream that put me and a coworker
into one of the rooms we work in. I was asleep within the dream,
then woke up to find my coworker staring at me like a zombie. I
felt this incredible surge of energy. Tingle is not the word.
The room was inundated with light as energy surged through my
body. I levitated and suddenly flew backward still facing
forward about ten feet. The words of the music I heard while
this was happening were..."I was born in the desert-so I know
how it feels there...Well look up...it's a shooting star..."
Just as that phrase ended I looked up and to my right, outside
of the window, was an incredible saucer that hovered while
energy still poured through me. I awoke from the dream still
experiencing the energy and light. Slowly I was back in 3D at
2:30 in the morning.
That is one example of the preparations. An incredible urgency
to run over to Egypt and crack open a bunch of hidden chambers
also is very high on my list. It is very apparent this is
happening across the world. Every day that comes into my
experience is filled with new life, and energy. Very soon
something staggering is going to take place, and we are the very
ones who have come to do that part. That is very much how I
feel, and I always look forward very much toward receiving more
messages about the rituals and associated knowledge.
Connie
Houston, Tx
Just wanted to let
you know I did the ritual and I didn't have any particular
unusual occurrence during the ritual other than the feeling of a
surging of energy and waves of light coming in. I have felt more
light energy since the ritual, and somewhat of a "clearing". The
cross of light will protect us all so we are cut off from any
negative energy and the positive light energy can expand. God
Bless you in your service to the light.
Nick
New Haven, CT
Prior to March 8th I
was experiencing strange visual symptoms, where on the periphery
of my field of vision there was a slight distortion. This
distortion was similar to what one would see on a cold day
looking across an area that had a flow of heated air entering
the cold air and seeing the refractive index differences. Up to
the 8th I seemed to be happy one day and sad the next, however,
since the 8th I have been very up and more energetic. As I had
indicated before I am somewhat new to meditating, etc. and most
of my experiences with my guides have been through a channeler
that has been working with me to teach me. More recently she, my
teacher, has been out of town and I haven't had the opportunity
to work with anyone else. I enjoy reading everyone else's
experiences and discussions, thank you for forwarding the info.
Grannyflash:
Unfortunately, I did
not find your page until after the alignment, but I want to know
more about what has happened after the ritual. Also, I can't
complain about what is happening but I have noticed a difference
in how I feel and relate to others. The effects of what has
happened started a full two weeks before the eventful day, I
wonder if the ritual would have made a difference? I am sure it
would have psycho-spiritually, but would it have changed what
was happening ? put an afterglow on it? so to speak. I
thoroughly enjoyed your writings, with an emphasis on the
astrological interpretation. I immediately was able to put into
focus what was happening around me, but I wonder if I am being
to hard on myself or my interpretation of the interpretation?
Jim Amidon

Leola, Pennsylvania
I had every
intention of going up to my little mountain, here in the
Appalachians, about an hour away, and participating with you
all... as spirit would have it though, found myself on a 300
mile trip to go meet up in CT with a group from Ashtar
instead... 1st time to meet them...
So, Saturday was spent driving on a wing and a prayer, "beyond
all reason" and "knowing" what you all/we all were intending for
the weekend... took a few breaks along the way, walked by the
river... no dedicated moments to any ritual...
Sunday however... after finding this new group of friends I came
to see, and being warmly welcomed... again without any words of
this portal opening you mention... two separate meditations were
led.... one of opening the group to itself... as individuals and
as one.... the other was a powerful visualization which likely I
couldn't do justice to in describing here.... .... at a minimum
can say, I have a memory today, of walking through the Great
Pyramid..... I had to leave this group of new friends rather
abruptly, so had no time to get reactions from other's
experiences....
You mention others describing "...a strong positive energy
enfolding me..." <s>... and "...a feeling of being unlimited, of
being more successful, of having more energy and of things
coming together easier...."
well....(smile).... I dare say the wheels of my van hardly
touched ground the first 100 miles or so on my way back to the
3d reality... and the energy moving through me this week is
breath-taking at moments....
would be curious to learn how many ways the energy of this
weekend were experienced.... as in this group which I visited...
not a word was mentioned of the portal opening...... and I
noticed some local churches here.. which were calling it a
"World Day of Prayer"... hmmmmmmm
Suzanne Sargent:
I have not been
doing anything, along these lines lately. I am trying to feel
where I fit in all this...And, somewhat, to understand. I do
read what you send, though. And do 'tune in' a lot during each
day. Light and peace to you...

I've been feeling
great. A strong connection with the Mother, continuing to feel
that I'm walking through the cave, into the heart of the
mystery, with only my inner senses as guidance. And in this
state, being called upon to do service, to share my "wisdom", in
a sense my being comfortable in the not-knowing place.... being
called upon to share the healing power of listening, of holding
the energy sacredly in love. Feeling drawn more and more to
meditation in the middle of increasing outward activity. The
trees are flowering, the mallards are visiting our pond, spring
is erupting, everything is new!
Chantyl Wilson Valier, Illinois
I haven't been
taking direct part in the rituals but I feel strong energies and
lots of things happening to me personally...I don't know if this
is what you meant but I know my spiritual path is opening a
bit... I'm learning about 'healing' and things of this nature,
feeling more connected to the Universe and am wanting to take
part in the rituals the more comfortable I am becoming with
things of this nature... you've indicated that some of my dreams
interconnect with theses rituals so maybe I am and just don't
know it? Continue to send me your information..*smile*

Thank you for adding
me to your mailing list, and for checking on the results. I am
sorry that I have not written sooner with the results, but I am
still trying to figure the results out. I too have had a feeling
of more energy, haven't been to bed for 40 hours, and not really
in that bad a shape. The strange occurrence that brought about
my questioning the results is the very strong draw that I have
had to the Rosicrucian order since the meditation. Maybe there
is something that I am to learn from the order from which the
Knights Templar originated. I will write more as this mystery
unfolds for me. My cross of crystals is still set up with the
fifth candle to the north, my meditations have been meaningful,
but nothing spectacular yet!

I am still pondering
the results of the ritual. Yes, I did perform it exactly as it
was written. What I did was tape record a reading of it and then
played it back as I was performing the ritual. It was a
wonderful peaceful experience and I spent the rest of the
evening quietly with no outside stimulation. BTW, I performed
the ritual in my bedroom, so as to avoid any interruption or
questions as to the articles I had assembled. That bedroom has
since become a very special place...I will tell you more when I
have the words to describe how things have changed for me.
BETTER!! I am at peace and I know things are the way they are
supposed to be.

Since this was my
first ritual, I was quite excited and scurried to prepare an
altar since I found out about it only a few days before. The day
of the ritual I went for a long walk in the woods by the river
and collected some mussel shells I found on the banks. That
evening I could scarcely eat, and raced to the bedroom
immediately after to set up my altar. I had used a pendulum
earlier that morning to locate 3 portals - one in the bathroom,
one in the closet adjacent to the bathroom, and one next to the
east window, just north of the bathroom. I decided to set up the
altar in the closet, and cleared everything out in preparation.
I laid out a special handkerchief I have which is printed with
turtles and thunderbirds, and my hawk feather found several
years ago.
I placed amethyst
and crystal geodes at the entrance to the closet. Around the
altar I placed the shells collected earlier that day. My cross
was constructed using the Native American Tarot Deck laid out in
the Kachina Knife spread. I pulled one card for contemplation,
the 3 of Pipes (Joint Effort). I invited my family to
participate at that point. I began the ritual by smudging with
Cedar, Sage and Sweetgrass. I began reading the ritual and lit
the candles, but kept feeling something wasn't right. It wasn't
until afterwards, I realized I had begun one half hour early. It
took me quite a while to settle down, being in a new place to
meditate.
Eventually, I
remembered to bring Light in through my crown chakra, opening
all my chakras, and grounding in the crystalline core of Gaia. I
had some difficulty visualizing the Cathedral, in spite of
reviewing the pictures on the web. Eventually, I saw the Rose
window briefly. I connected with my Higher Self, who held out a
hand in invitation to follow. I felt like I was wading through
quicksand, trying to lift myself up without much success. After
struggling unsuccessfully, I saw numerous guides toss me up in
the air right through the portal. I did a few loops in the
celestial sky, enjoying my newfound freedom. I remember seeing
lots of Light beings around me, observing my form. One pulled my
arm away from my body - as if to show me how Light I had become.
When I realized where I was, THUD, back to third dimensionality
I came.
I continued reflecting for about an hour after. I turned over
the tarot cards and read about my journey. The Kachina Knife is
a five card spread. Cards 1 and 2, the heart of the matter were
One of Pipes (introspection) and Warrior of Pipes (impetuosity
and unpredictability). Card 3, representing past influences was
Hosteen Coyote (unconscious will). Card 4, signifying the
present was The Lovers (for every action there is an equal and
opposite reaction). Card 5, showing the future was The Weaver
(attunement to the goddess of wisdom). This completed, I blew
out the candles and left the closet.
My mind has been on that closet, the altar and the ritual ever
since. I look forward to participating in more rituals,
especially the Spring Equinox coming soon. I'm thinking of
incorporating gifts to bless the elemental kingdom (like
tobacco) in an all night prayer vigil, culminating at dawn when
I will stand outside, facing the Sun, and ask for alignment and
healing of Mother Earth with the Sun.

You are performing a
wonderful planetary service - even to folks like myself who may
not have got around to the rituals - you see we also have a
loose knit group who meet regularly - sometimes simply being
together, talking or meditating or walking around the lake - or
in the bush - and working with the 'earth energies' as we go --
and I am convinced that your beautiful communications (having
come into our ambit) touch us even in our subtle energy fields.
very much love, light and many blessings to you and your good
work.

I have been
experiencing a much more positive out look, confidence is the
word that comes to mind. I also have been doing certain
techniques to raise my kundalini. I have been having faint
impulses at times that I am communicating with Chief Joseph. I
just hate to be left out of the party and it frustrates me when
I am not having the bold and the vivid experience, However, I am
having the subtle and the fuzzy. Also since the ritual I have
had a confidence in the fact that I no longer have to worry and
obsess about money (before I would always worry and obsess) I
guess patience is the key.

I was not able to
participate in the ritual, as some things interfered with it
this time, but I did read all the material connected with it,
and yes, I do fell the opening and uplifting you describe.

Since Charbern and I
participated together in the ritual, it has been an amazing
week. Several different things have occurred. First, my energy
has been up, and I have been catching up and moving faster into
business decisions, etc. Additionally, I have made a decision to
leave Irc (which is the chat areas of the internet) and find
that since making the decision to leave I have been able to
accomplish more. Both Charbern and I believe that leaving Irc
was a direct link to what he and I both wish to accomplish.

l did not get the
chance to do the ritual, but was there in thought... But things
have been happening, l have been feeling energy more, specially
in the lower chakra region, and thought is creating just little
things, but still its a start...Also questions are being
answered very quickly, via books becoming available or through
meditation, this is truly a great time to be alive...

Regrettably I didn't
participate fully. However around the time of the portal I did
start to feel that new energy. I thought it might've come from
the eclipse but then I read about the Portal and I think it
comes from that. Yes, I have felt very, very intense positive
energies. I have still have felt my share of darker energies,
going through them. But when I break through again, and I hit
that positive point it feels even more so...if that makes sense.
happy last day of the current Tun
Serge Khalatian:
I would like you to
know that I did participate in the Cathedral Ritual Los Angeles
time. I did follow your instructions on how to proceed. Thank
you. Since I am new to your group as of 1/30/97, all this seemed
as a new experience even though esoterically I have been exposed
to literature and global meditations and organizations in the
past. The planet is going through difficult times and this
burden is felt by many children of Light who want to establish
that special contact with the Divine Mother of our Universe.
During this Ritual, I did send lots of love for the healing of
this planet. I felt good; however, I did not experience anything
unusual. I hope for the best. If you can share your views as you
saw all those participating individuals from the Dimension of
Light during or after the Ritual, and the input of The Hierarchy
of Light could serve us well to improve in our next step on this
path. Thanks again.

Here are our brief
ritual results. (If I wrote all that we experienced, it would
take pages!) Four of us had planned to do the ritual together,
but unforeseen circumstances caused us to split into two
separate locations. We contacted each other by phone afterward,
and were amazed at the similarities in our experiences.
My friend and I suddenly had to shift our location for the
ritual to her house. As we were traveling there, she intuitively
sensed where the portal was located in her house, and since it
was 8:25 when we arrived we hurriedly set up our ritual items
(quartz crystals, shells, feathers, candles, etc.). During this
time both of us felt interesting sensations - my third eye
region was pulsating, and we both kept getting numerous energy
rushes. Then we settled into the circle, stated our intentions
for participating in the ritual (to release fears, and
blockages, to create deeper connection with Spirit) and then
called in the directions, and began our meditation to hook up.
We had been in a
rather serious mood, which seemed in keeping with the ritual,
but as soon as we hooked up (which we both felt as an intense
energetic shift) we began to sense a different tone. Soon we
were giggling, then outright laughing with joy - this was not
what we had expected! It was as if a HUGE party was going on,
with incredible feelings of joy, love and merriment being shared
and spread around. As we compared our visions, we realized we
were seeing the same thing. Both of us had almost immediately
seen the interior of Chartres which then opened up to the vast
night sky with its flying buttresses creating a bridge on which
countless beings were "sliding" down to connect with the well
Portal, and then joining in this party!
We saw scene after scene of this wonderful merriment, and got
the feeling that it was to help all of us to recognize the
immense joy involved in connecting with Spirit, which certainly
dissolves any fears! This went on for a while, then the energy
became calmer. At that point I sensed Sophia/Mary/Isis as a huge
presence above Chartres. She had a vast glow around her and
water was pouring from her robes, which became Love energy as it
spread out over all below. We basked in this peaceful, warm
embrace for a long time, quietly drinking it in. Then we closed
out the circle and realized we had been there for almost an
hour. We were surprised, because it didn't seem that long.
Our friends called then, and we compared experiences. They had
almost the identical sensation of joy and merriment and saw
Chartres open to the sky. They also a huge Cross in the heavens
as Chartres opened up. They too experienced The Mother Love as
Sophia/Mary/Isis and saw almost the same image of her as we had
- above Chartres extending her Love to all below. One friend,
who had not read any of the Ritual information, said she got the
idea it was about abundance, so it came through loud and clear!
Since then I've experienced a greater sense of "ease and flow".
Meaning it seems to take less effort to actualize and manifest
positive flow in my daily life; i.e. bumping into the right
person at the right time etc. All in all, it was a wonderful
experience for all of us. Thanks Claire for your inspiration. I
have some additional stories that are pretty amazing.
As I mentioned we were putting things out for the circle in a
hurry, because of having to quickly change our location for the
ritual. We had only candle light to see with and our things were
in pouches. I put out the items in my friend's pouch also, and
there was one little thing I was unsure about. I asked her, and
she said it was a small crystal, so I put it in the center of
the circle. After the ritual when we were gathering the items,
she picked up the little piece and asked if this was what I had
asked about, and I said yes. She burst out laughing and in the
brighter light, we could see that it was just a little piece of
wood - a tiny twig - that must have ended up at the bottom of
her pouch somehow. This little twig had been in the center of
our ritual circle! We really got the joke and dubbed it "Cosmic
Debris".
Astrologically I immediately associated it with Pluto, and how
Pluto represents the cosmic debris we carry with us, but sweep
under the rug and try our best to ignore. We not only didn't
ignore our debris, we placed it in the center of our altar! To
me this was a beautiful metaphor for retrograde Pluto located in
the 12th house in the Chartres Ritual chart, since the 12th
house actually represents that "under the rug" portion of our
unconscious minds! And to me, part of the Ritual was about
accepting our "debris", putting it on the table along with the
rest of our "holiness" and loving it too.
The second thing happened 4 days after the ritual on March 11. I
had a very unexpected reunion with a soulmate of mine who came
on a surprise visit from Papua New Guinea, where he has lived
for the past 6 years. Years ago when we were overseas together
we had a couple of bank accounts here in the States, which we
divided up upon our return. When we had our reunion just a few
days ago he handed me an envelope filled with money! Apparently,
in the hectic days when we first returned, we just forgot about
this particular bank account. But, when he was settling up his
finances recently, he re-discovered it with thouands of dollars
in it! So suddenly I have a lot more money than I thought I had!
It was in the middle of the night, days after this, as I lay
awake in bed that it hit me - Wow, the Ritual- Abundance!!! And
what a wonderfully rapid confirmation!

Janet Sunderland:
There were three of
us that did the ritual: three women. I had wrapped the purple
hula hoop in aluminum foil to develop the silver color of the
Mother, and we made the altar on the floor again. We set
pictures and statues of Mary in the circle along with crystals,
a cross from the Holy Land, a bowl of water, a plant with earth,
healing wands of light, some rosary beads, one of crystal beads
and the other of dark beads, and we made a cross from angel
cards. We put 5 candles around as instructed, two at the north.
We also made fruit offerings of oranges and apples.
Before the ritual here at the house, the three of us met at
Loretto Chapel, a small gothic chapel in town, and meditated. We
saw many of the same images during the meditation (meaning all
three of us) particularly diamonds and triangles of energy
connecting the three of us to the Mary statue. From the
tabernacle door came a burst of golden light. Energy was then
coming from both the Mary side and the Joseph statue side. High
energy, very balanced. We stayed there in meditation for about
20 or 30 minutes. Carol had gotten the information earlier in
the week that we needed to anchor the energy there before the
ritual at the house.
