Recent Dreams, Wanderings and Channelling by bella....
Dragonfly Vision: The faery messengers of the Dragon Keepe. The faerys legs fuse together forming itself with the dragonfly tail, the back of the dragonfly becomes the front of the dragon faery. Laying back to back to become as one.
Dream: A raven flying through the window of an empty class room, that has within just a single desk and chair. Sitting upon this school desk was Queen Mab, she held in close embrace the raven which had flown into her arms, looking at me with her huge watery eyes. The vision of Queen Mab was very clear except for her, coming forth to me as shimmery and water-like, emotional and sad. The raven stared at me with his knowing eyes.
Channel; Temple of Isis: The temple of the gods and theyr namesakes, The Keepers. the Keepers of Knowledge and Rites of the olden 'golden' days. Back from whence things come and so shall they Return. It has been stated before many, many times. The path to the gods is a tumultuos ride of the aethers and aeons to progress. This path is not easy to become a god, and in the Temple of Isis lays the plans of your forebearers. Even though this was written many a long time ago, it is relevent for today, made for your times and laying waiting, hoping to Return. Just like you. The Temple of Isis is the Boat symbolised in the Egyptian Rites, as the Crossovers of the Dead, the Underworld and the Stars. It is all One.
The Wheels of Time turns, the same as the Wheel of the Year. As each moment passes and grows older, so does the Ship awaken. This is one of the many ships laying, waiting underneath the Earth. Waiting for the right time, it is nearly time. It is a salvation, a saviour of the peoples, an Avatar if you will. The Temple of Isis is a straight-forward connection to the gods and goddesses. It is a mode of transport, hidden, waiting. Stargate is not far from the truth, but not the Absolute Truth. This, temple of Isis is Not a Stargate, but a ship waiting to return Home. It is a scientific examination of Souls, telling who shall pass and who shall Not. It senses energies, vibrations, and is located underneath the Temple in a network of Space, Tunnels, Connections. Like a web, all over the world. Theyr are others, it all connects. They shall rise together, at the same time. Each nation (race of peoples) has one.
Space travel, a Map. Ran by thought alone. Energy Vortex, portals connecting, but can still be made to connect.
Races of Egyptian times planted this, human and other-worldly worked together at this time Now.
A Time Map, three shoots, branches; beginnings. One, Atlantis; two, Quetzalcoatl (mayan and aztec); and three, the Dark Ages. These three eras were of importance, linked together by the same strands, but theyr connection is mostly overlooked. Look at these times for theyr endings and theyr meanings. Atlantis fell; Mayans disappeared; Aztecs murdered; Dark Ages, fall and lose of an empire of magick and science. What is theyr relevance together? Now, what is the relevance to your Time. Think and ponder upon this, your time has the knowledge for this not to occur. Forearmed is Forewarned.
Channel: In times, in realms invisible. Long ago theyr was a Fortress, a Fortress to the depths of the heart, the ego, that which Is and that which is Not. The Self, the Ego became clashed within a war, entwined together by Time. Herodutus, the man of eons, many lives known. This be his Last. Great Power, with Wisdom comes Truth, but with Truth that can be Hidden. Hidden from masses, hidden from Self- true Self, Spirit, Soul. The links over time are set as clues. A treasure map to proceed if you will. X marks the Spot. Piece together the jigsaw, it is a Matrix, a web woven and unravelled with Time. Do not fear the Unknown, it beckons your Heart. To find, to seek, to complete. Visions are withstanding and withheld to the right time. Only then can you proceed correctly. Note the Clues, follow the Path; for this is the only way you shall Ever Truly Find what it is You Seek. Picture, Puzzle, Perfect.
Past Life Channel for friend: From the beginning of Time and Beyond the Stars she Comes. The centre of the core of humanity. Many aeons ago the story begins, in a time before time. The visions of the past flash before her eyes, like static television, the many dots; the many lives. From the clouds and dust make flesh, she formed herself at the start of earth time.
The All-Seeing Eye of Atlantis, a crystal that created a Vortex, misused created a suction of Time and Space. Technology/ Crytsal Energies/ Rays/ Beams, a kaleidoscope of colours. a glitch upon humanity, still rectifying the Vortex and pulling through/ reclaiming Souls Back to Life. It is your Job, your Force, your Endeavour. Show little, tell many. Keeper of Secrets bind you to theyr Karmic Ties as you reattach theyr cords to the aethers. It is job, your Majesty. "High Queen of the Atlantean Guild, may your Light and Energy guide your Way."
Past Life Channel for friend: Wondrous waves of Energy course through her Spirit throughout the paths of her time, her Time Line. Her visions are one she keeps to herself, she feels the lives of her past coursing through her veins, finding herself in the strangest of places at the strangest of times. In her mind, like Alice in WonderLand, the innocence of vision and creativity. Oh, what she can accomplish. Her paternal grandmother stays with her, teaches her, guides her.
Through her past lives she has plodded along, sometimes to greatness, sometimes not. The end of the voyage does not concern her, just the means to get theyr. Hard work is her virtue, this has been shown through many lives. One of great importance through time and history, is her time (prison punishment) and escape from a North African slave ship to the Americas. She (he) escaped by swimming. **Unlocking the shackles with a makeshift key hurt my hands, they bled and were raw, they hurt but I just kept pushing through till I could pull my hands through the shackles and locks. Theyr were others, many, crying, wanting to escape, but I couldn't, I was scared. It was cold, in the water bayou infested, but I manged to escape through the biting creatures. To freedom, to new life, much luckier than the others.**
Through courage, hard work and persistance, that which you carry on to this life. Six times ago, this is her seventh incarnation. Another life, in ancient babylonian times; biblical era, same time as Jesus, same generation. A market girl, happy and joyful. A light on the steps of the palace, gossiping with her friends in the palaces market place.
Past Life Channel for same friend: Changes through time, the Bird People; Horus. A child of horus, much protected and much loved. Sisters together in another life also, an Egyptian Priestess life. She tended the fires of horus and kept them lit, that was her job. A joker/ cheshire cat/ funny. Her harmonics (DNA, blueprint, energy imprints) still remain in Egypt and her tomb can be found amongst the priestesses of Horus, her sisters. A being from above helps her humour, encourages her thoughts for finer things, the lighter side of things, you make your parents laugh. Around the world and back again, much travel, many fun times to make a difference in the lives of others. You mission; to help those who do not have a chance for help, start close to home.
A mayan life, a little girl who has become lost in this life has found she is now not. Karmic connections.
A life by the sea does not always suit you well, but the country side does. This is where you will end up living, with a family of your own. I see a grandmother, you; sitting on her verandah, rocking and content, peaceful.
A fist to the Sun/Universe. Your frustrations at the Sun/ God pushes you through life to find the gentler Moon/ Goddess. This is you; balanced/ yin yang. You find the strength to inner calm, sometimes through anger, but this creates your balance, your drive, it is your edge. This comes from lifetimes of having to strive.
A Chinese Warrior/ Samurai. Not overly large in size, but nimble and quick of mind. Unlike the other warriors he was teased and layed down from war because of the others persecution. But this anger/frustration drove him to success, to become one of the best fighters/ swordsmen/ hand combat his shire had seen. He died in the arms of his Love, Freedom! Many lives; jewish persecution, world war II, the last before this life. A young jewish woman who hid the others from pain and took it upon herself. A great lady who died before time, in a concentration camp of Slavakia. A quiet unsung hero talked about only by those whom she helped, who passed her tale of bravery onto theyr own children, and instilled into them to be great, strong of heart as theyr saver (saviour).

Across the Way, I found some Fae... a true story
A decade of summers ago, an elf decided to aquaint himself with me, and led a young woman into the worlde few are rarely shown. Thrice he visited me, the third being the last. I was young, pregnant with my first born son and very much alone and living in the bush with no electricity or modern conveniences.
He was small, and funnily enough although it was yet a few years away, bore a remarkable resemblance to Orlanda Bloom in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Alvin as he wished to be known, attired himself in mediaeval Knight regalia giving an impression of importance and guardianhood.
Theyr was a small river at the bottom of the property I called home, my favourite place that I called Faery Grotto. Even before I knew that was were the faery did indeed dwell, I sensed the magick and mystery. Just like any other day and reading a book, theyr became a quiet in the atmosphere and the feeling of being watched started to invade my thoughts distracting me. My eyes drifted towards the river, and once more saw the elvish man over the river across the way.
He stood atop a broken branch that stretched like a bridge, protruding from the muddy bank. Standing straight, tall and proud his stance as Guardian of the faery grotto. He had upon himself a long silver sword that he grasped, with the blade down wedged into the ground. Although he never spoke, he let me know his name Alvin. The oddest, un-elfish name I would have thought. My apologies Sir Alvin!
The elf who stood theyr looking at me was only the beginning, as I said he stood guard of my faery grotto and must of let me in out of good grace. Only ever the once, and most surely a priviledge did I see, the muddy edge was alive and full with mythical life. Sylphs the size of dragonflys, the sun reflecting shimmers of colours as they frolicked through the air. Undines swam and played in the river end, theyr mermaid tails or theyr long legs making tiny splashes in the water as fish do. One chose for herself a patch of sun to warm on the bank.
Little work men trekked through the mud one foot in front of the other. Carrying picks and shovels, they manouvered around a tight, winding path. The funniest and best sight, my favourite and the one that really made me aware of where i actually was, was an extremely cranky and more than cross olde woman. This not very pleasant grandmother faery looked very aghast that I had dared disturb the privacy of her own home, and more perturbed at the thought that I had actually looked upon her. Her house was truly amazing, it was dug out and built into the mud of the river edge with a house really inside. You could see the rooms through the windows and it even had a front door. The olde faery stood at her top window looking out at me and slammed the shutter straight in my shocked face, but not before releasing a tirade of abuse and probably name calling, pointing her gnarly olde finger at me. Reflecting back, I think I may have been naive in thinking that the faery had been a tad rude to me, because it was I in fact who had invaded her domain.
Unable now throughout the course of time and the forgetfulness that comes with, knowing if i was in either a reverie or trance, but I was very clearminded during this and a little foggy for awhile after. The fading of this worlde and my leaving it happened at the same moment the cross olde faery shut her window, letting me know it was time to leave. Although the faery grotto and its other inhabitants were welcoming, I turned my back on this worlde but not before filling my eyes to the brim with the faery magick all around me, parting ways and back home to my worlde.

Herbal Whysdoms...
A hystory of herbals and magick...
Utnapishtim said to him, to Gilgamesh:
Gilgamesh, you came here,
You strained, you toiled.
What can I give you as you return to your land?
Let me uncover for you, Gilgamesh, a secret thing.
A secret of the gods let me tell you.
There is a plant its roots go deep, like boxthorn;
Its spike will prick your hand like a bramble.
if you get your hands on the plant,
You'll have ever-lasting life. -The Epic of Gilgamesh, 1600 b.c.e
The herb doctors and physicians of Sumer, Babylon, Assyria and Egypt believed in no uncertain terms that their craft was a gift from the gods, and the gods themselves were its first practitioners. The knowledge of the curative properties of plants, water, and oil was considered a divine art whose secrets were jealously guarded, and passed down in oral traditions. when men first learned to write they commited these teachings to clay tablets and rolls of papyrus, and drew up the first lists of medicinal herbs. In these ancient herbalsmedicine and magic are almost inextricably mixed together; though it is clear they had a real knowledge of primitive medicine. as herbalists they took with them their box of medicines and as magicians their magic rods, which were the symbols of their profession.

Faery Witchery
"The river gives me life. Its waters sustain me. While it flows, I live. I feed not on flesh and water, but memories and emotions. I was once human now I am a legend. The humankind have a name for me and my kind, They call us the Sidhe, the fairy folk. Sometimes they whisper fairy woman, bean sidhe, banshee." -Legend of the Banshee; Irish ghosts and hauntings.
The magick of a faery witch comes from within, resonating a deep understanding of and communication with nature, its elements and its signs. Most often you will find that they lead a solitary existance shying away from covens and large groups, finding it more preferable to work theyr own magick within the faery realm. This alliance with the faery realm, its psychic impulses and energy are part of her daily life, can be difficult for others to sometimes understand leaving the faery witch sometimes lonely. Walking with one foot in each worlde is a very hard choice and difficult thing to balance and maintain, only the strong and pure of heart should proceed.
The faery witch has travelled between both worldes forming a natural psychic ability to both see and feel faery and spirtits, the trait also called fey. This magickal relationship between the witch and the faery becomes a close bond and can be very enticing. She surrounds herself with nature, the animal kingdom and beautiful things, occaionally threatening to overwhelm her and her household.
Animals are instictively trusting of the faery witch, they will be drawn to them oft times with curiosity, but also to convey messages from the spirit world and fae. Entrusted with the gift of not only second sight, faery witches are also charmers and healers. A desire for mystery, magick and mythology she appears to others as different, seeming otherworldly herself.
Faery witches are visionaries who express themselves through creativity because it makes theyr soul sing and feel connected to life. They are the story tellers, the painters and the poets dancing through life, bringing into our worlde the beauty of the fae; be it light or dark. For they know that both is needed as much as the other to maintain the balance and keep order.
Those who are born with fae blood flowing through theyr veins and those who ally themselves with these magickal and sometimes mischevious creatures, create a special aura around theyr being. Exuding beauty, glamour, joy, sexuality and charm even as she grows older. Seemingly, fragile in appearance when in fact they are much stronger a faery witch attracts many a dark or light energy or entity.
As they become much wiser in this worlde, she will realise that theyr are people who wish to keep a faery witch for themselves, consciously or not. Learning protection from psychic attacks and negative people is a must for they may one day threaten to overwhelm and possess the faery witch for her unique qualities and energy.
Enticing the fae...
Mistletoe is a magickal activator. When working with the faery to create a spell, incorporate a dash of the mistletoe flower plucked on summer solstice. This will empower your spells working faery magick, but don't forget to thank the plant first when taking the flower and tell it what it will be used for.
Heather is a most useful tool when working with the fae, making an offering of heather on Beltane eve will attract the good faery into your garden. It opens portals between our worlde and that of the fae, and made into a tincture used to cleanse your crystal ball enhances the visions shown.
Roses and lilacs planted in your garden not only looks pretty, the sweet scent lures the elementals who are unable to resist the beauty of the flowers.
Wearing thyme will increase your ability to see the faery. Sprinkle it at the base of your door, and on window sills to invite them in and make the faerys welcome.
The holey stone is said to be a key or doorway into the faery kingdom. It is also believed to hold the power to bind a faery to one's service for a given period of time.
Faery Charms by Lady Wilde ...
-Ancient Legends, Mystic Charms and Superstitions of Ireland, 1888.
How to have money always:
Take the feather of a black cock, go to the crossing points of three faery paths (ley line), and while holding the feather and a gold coloured coin, call the name of the goddess Aine three times, to bring you everlasing prosperity.
How to go invisible;
Gather the dandelion plant on the first full moon after the flower heads have appeared. Call on the powers of the goddess Bridget and ask her to grant your wish to be invisible. Walk three times right-hand wise around a sacred well. Scatter the dandelion plant around the well as you walk all the time wishing to be invisible.
In the in between times when day fades into night or spring melts into summer and at the in between
places where paths converge, a veil is parted between the worlds and one may enter the Otherworld. The world of the faery. But use much caution Dear Ones! For you have entered The Faery Crossing and none return unchanged. -Bendyth Y Mamau

To summon a fayrie...
- by ms ashmole, 1406.
An excellent way to gett a fayrie, but for myself I call Margarett Barrance but this will obtaine any one that is not already bound. First get a broad square cristall or venus glasse in length and breadth 3 inches, then lay that glasse or cristall in the blood of a white henne 3 wednesdayes or 3 fridayes: then take it out wash it with holy aquae and fumigate it: then take 3 hazle sticks or wands of an yeare groth, pill them fayre and white, and make soe long as you can write the spirits name, or fayries name, which you call 3 times , on every sticke being made flatt one side, then bury them under some stone hill wheres you suppose fayrie's haunt, the wednesdays before you call she, and the fridaye following take them uppe and calle she, and the fridaye following tae them uppe and calle she at 8 or 3 or 10 of the clock which be goode planetts howres for that turne: but when you call, be in clean Life and turne thy face towards the East, when you have she bind her to that stone or glasse.
An unguent to annoynt under the eyelids evnnge and morninge, but especially when you call, or find your sighte not perfect. Putt sallet oyle into a viall glasse but first wash it with rose water, and marygold flower water, the flowers be gathered to the east, wah it til the oyle come white, then putt it into the glasse, ut supra, and put there to the buds of hollyhocke, the flowers of marygold: the flowers or topps of wilde time, the budds of younge hazle, and the time must be gatherred neare the side of a hille where fayries use to go oft, and the grasse of a fayrie throne, there, all these putt into the oyle, the glasse, and sett it to dissolve 3 dayes in the sonne, and thou keep it for thy use; ut supra.
The magick of a faery witch comes from within, resonating a deep understanding of and communication with nature, its elements and its signs. Most often you will find that they lead a solitary existance shying away from covens and large groups, finding it more preferable to work theyr own magick within the faery realm. This alliance with the faery realm, its psychic impulses and energy are part of her daily life, can be difficult for others to sometimes understand leaving the faery witch sometimes lonely. Walking with one foot in each worlde is a very hard choice and difficult thing to balance and maintain, only the strong and pure of heart should proceed.
The faery witch has travelled between both worldes forming a natural psychic ability to both see and feel faery and spirtits, the trait also called fey. This magickal relationship between the witch and the faery becomes a close bond and can be very enticing. She surrounds herself with nature, the animal kingdom and beautiful things, occaionally threatening to overwhelm her and her household.
Animals are instictively trusting of the faery witch, they will be drawn to them oft times with curiosity, but also to convey messages from the spirit world and fae. Entrusted with the gift of not only second sight, faery witches are also charmers and healers. A desire for mystery, magick and mythology she appears to others as different, seeming otherworldly herself.
Faery witches are visionaries who express themselves through creativity because it makes theyr soul sing and feel connected to life. They are the story tellers, the painters and the poets dancing through life, bringing into our worlde the beauty of the fae; be it light or dark. For they know that both is needed as much as the other to maintain the balance and keep order.
Those who are born with fae blood flowing through theyr veins and those who ally themselves with these magickal and sometimes mischevious creatures, create a special aura around theyr being. Exuding beauty, glamour, joy, sexuality and charm even as she grows older. Seemingly, fragile in appearance when in fact they are much stronger a faery witch attracts many a dark or light energy or entity.

Invocations from the ancient and olde ways...
Invocation to the Horned God..
from the grimoire of lady sheba.
By the flame that burneth bright,
O' Horned One!
We call thy name into the night,
O' Ancient One!
Thee we invoke, by moon-led sea,
By the standing stone and the twisted tree.
Thee we invoke where gather thine own,
By the nameless shrine forgotten and lone.
Come where the round of the dance is trod,
Horn and hoof of the goat-foot god!
By moon-lit meadow, on a dusky hill,
When haunted wood is brushed and still.
Come to the charm of the chanted prayer,
As the moon bewitches the midnight air.
Evoke thy powers, that potent bide
In shining stream and the secret tide.
Come! Come!
To the heartbeats drum!
Come to us who gather below,
When the broad white moon is climbing slow.
Through the stars to the heavens height
We hear thy hoofs on the wind of night!
As black tree-branches shake and sigh,
By joy and terror we know thee nigh.
We speak the spell thy power unlocks,
At Solstice, sabbat and equinox.
* * * * * * *
The Sea Priestess...
dion fortune.
O thou that was before the earth was formed- Ea, Binah, Ge.
O tideless, soundless, bitter sea,
I am thy priestess, answer unto me.
O arching sky above and earth beneath,
Giver of life and bringer-in of death,
Persephone, Astarte, Astoreth,
I am thy priestess, answer unto me!
O golden Aphrodite, come to me!
Flower of foam, rise from the bitter sea.
The hour of the full-moon tide draws near,
Hear the invoking words, hear and appear-
Isis unveiled, and Ea, Binah, Ge!
I am thy priestess, answer unto me.

Invocation of Aradia, Queen of the Witches...
unknown author.
Aradia! my Aradia!
Thou art my daughter unto him who was
Most evil of all spirits, who of old
Once reigned in hell when driven away from heaven,
Who by his sister did thy sire become,
But as thy mother did repent her fault,
And wished to mate thee to a spirit who
Should be benevolent,
and not malevolent!
Aradia, Aradia! I implore
Thee by the love which she did bear for thee!
And by the love which I too feel for thee!
I pray thee grant the grace which I require!
And if this grace be granted, may there be
One of three signs distinctly clear to me:
The hiss of a serpent,
The light of a firefly,
The sound of a frog!
But if you do refuse this favour, then
May you in future know no peace or joy,
And be obliged to seek me from afar,
Until you grant me my desire,
In haste, and then thou may'st return again
Unto thy destiny. Therewith, Amen!

The birth of Aphrodite...
hesiod's theogony.
The genitals, cut off with adamant
And thrown from land into the
stormy sea,
Were carried for a long time on
the waves,
white foam surrounded the
immortal flesh,
And in it grew a girl. At first it
touched
On holy Cythera, from there it
came
To Cyprus, circled by the waves.
And there
The goddess came forth, lovely,
much revered,
And grass grew up beneath her
delicate feet.
Her name is Aphrodite among
men
And gods, because she grew up in
the foam, And Cythere, for she reached that
land,
And Cyprogenes, from the stormy
place
where she was born, and
Philommedes from
The genitals, by which she was
concieved.
Eros is her companion; fair Desire
Followed her from the first, both
at her birth
And when she joined the company
of the gods.
From the beginning, both among
gods and men,
She had this honour and recieved
this power:
Fond murmurings of girls, and
smiles, and tricks,
And sweet delight, and
friendliness and charm.
