UFO hunters film orb over Stawamus Chief in Squamish B.C. Canada

 UFO hunters film orb over Stawamus Chief in Squamish, B.C. Canada-

Squamish is about 40 miles or 6o km north of Vancouver B.C., and along the sea to sky highway. 

The Stawamus Chief (the Chief) is a world-renowned rock-climbing destination. Climbers even camp out on the little ledges of the Chief,  nice view, huh? It's even very scary looking from the ground up at you campers on those ledges!

The Chief is often claimed to be the "second largest" granite monolith in the world".

The Squamish, indigenous people from this area, consider the Chief to be a place of spiritual significance. The Squamish language name for the mountain is Siám' Smánit (siám' is usually translated as "chief" though it is really a social ranking), and their traditions say it is a longhouse transformed to stone by Xa'ays, as the Transformer Brothers are known in this language. (That in which all the spirit animals gathered for a feast.) It is seen in the physical realm as a mountain, but in the spirit realm it’s a longhouse, it is a symbol of togetherness. The mythical hero Xwech’taal vanquished a double-headed sea serpent Sinulhkay before uniting the Squamish Nation. "As Sinulhkay fled across the mountain, the creature seared a trail of defeat into the stone, which today is visible as the great cleft in the mountain's cliff-face in Squamish. (legend is this mark of corrosion was left by the skin of Sinulhka, the giant two-headed sea serpent👾👾) 

So this area has a real "vibe" to it, as well as being stunningly beautiful.

Roll on July 2017, and this story from that area: An eerie orb of ‘yellowish white’ was filmed by UFO hunters as it passed through the night sky near the Chief..

Rob Freeman and Marcus McNabb captured a ‘ball of light’ travelling over Stawamus Chief in Squamish, B.C. before it disappeared from sight. "At first we thought it was an aeroplane. There was absolutely no sound… then we absolutely knew it was no aeroplane."-Quote

-Using night vision

The orb was captured through a night vision camera and more than 43,000 people have watched the video since it was posted.‘The trees behind the orb were all lit up. That means it was in front of the trees.’The pair have taken their hunt for UFOs to 11 countries and 30 cities in the last three years. Apparently all around that area of Howe Sound has had sightings of UFO's or orbs. I had no idea about this until just recently, and I'm a native to B.C.😕 I'd love to see one, but when I'm with friends.....Dee-Rubylake Tarot

Here is all their camera gear:

Extra info quote- The Chief is a sacred mountain,” Freeman said. “Lights are found in ancient spots like Peru or Norway. Whatever it is, in every single country on every single expedition, we’ve got something.”

A Brief History of SAMHAIN

SAMHAIN- (pronounced /ˈsɑːwɪn/ SAH-win or /ˈsaʊ.ɪn/ SOW-in, Irish pronunciation: [sˠəuɪnʲ]) is one of four Gaelic seasonal festivals that has been observed throughout Ireland, Scotland, and beyond. Believed to be of Celtic-Pagan origins, Samhain marks the end of harvest season and the beginning of winter- the darker half of the year, celebrated from 31 October to 1 November. Traditionally this is when the Celtic day began and ended at sunset. This is about halfway between autumn equinox and the winter solstice. Similar festivals are held at the same time of year in other Celtic lands; for example the Brythonic Calan Gaeaf ( Wales), Kalan Gwav( Cornwall), and Kalan Goañv (Brittany).

According to early Irish literature, many important events in Irish Mythology happen or begin in Samhain. Cattle were brought back down from the summer pastures and livestock were slaughtered for the winter. Much like the time of Bealtaine, bonfires were lit for protective and cleansing purposes and there were rituals involved. It was another time of year for the Celts where the boundary between our world and the Other world was thinnest- crossing over would be much easier. This was said to be especially true for the Aos Si, the spirits or fairies, who where likely pagan gods and nature spirits, as well as souls of the dead coming back home to seek hospitality.

At Samhain, it was believed that the Aos Sí needed to be appeased to ensure that the people and their livestock survived the winter. Offerings of food and drink were left outside for them. In order to trick the Aos Si, miming and guising occurred in which people would go door-to-door dressed in strong disguises or costumes so they would not be recognised by the spirits. Verses would be sung at the doors in exchange for food. 

Large festivals were always had at this time of year, at which the souls of dead kin were asked to attend and a place set at the table for them. Divination rituals and games were also part of the festival and often involved nuts and apples.

Yes, from Bewitched...(an example kinda.) Loved the show

Also according to mythology, a Cat Sìth will bless any house that leaves out a saucer of milk on the Samhain. Houses that don't will be cursed......👾

EGO interrupts Intuition

EGO interrupts Intuition-


I don't know this little man, but it would appear he has a big ego and is very controlling, and I'm looking for examples...

Some signs of a big EGO-

• Too much is never enough. ...(like a hole in the soul that never gets filled)
• Disliking when people succeed. ...
• Redirecting the attention back to you. ...
• Constantly comparing yourself. ...
• Craving respect and recognition. ...Wonder if Kim J.un takes selfies?
• Always being defensive...They perceive any resistance to their thoughts and actions as “attacks”.
• Manipulating-
• They believe they’re more intelligent than everyone else, so it should be easy to control them.
  When it comes to manipulation and control, egotists are not afraid to throw a compliment or two someone’s way to get what they want.  GROSS!

Signs of a Intuitive-Spiritual person

Being a spiritual person is synonymous with being a person whose highest priority is to be kind to themselves, "and to others". A spiritual person cares about people, animals and the planet. A spiritual person knows that we are all One, and consciously attempts to honor this Oneness. Spirituality, is a state of enlightenment and consciousness, being able to see beyond materialistic boundaries. Your intuition is always speaking to you, whether you hear it or not, learn to listen to it. I think having a big ego can kind of crush intuition a bit though, IMO. Messages from the ego are often linked to fear, and harsh messages trying to talk you out of things. Messages from your intuition are respectful and along the lines of believing in yourself...'The problem is not that we have an ego, it’s that we allow the unhealthy parts of the ego to take over and rule our lives'-Gemma Stone(psychologist). I guess balance might be the key, to keep your ego in check, like catch yourself in the act ! BE KIND...

Jimmy Page lead guitar player of Led Zeppelin and a Capricorn -represented by Pentacles (many tarot decks relate astrological signs to the court cards). Jimmy Page born January 9th-Pentacles-earth- Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo.
Jimmy owned an occult bookstore called, "Equinox" in London, UK

"Pagey had said there was not one bookshop in London with a good collection of occult books, which made him mad, as he was getting into all of that at the time."

I think he gave the shop up about end of the 70's.

Pagey also owned from the early 1970s to the early 1990s, Boleskine House, the former residence of occultist Aleister Crowley. Parts of Page's fantasy sequence in the film "The Song Remains the Same", were filmed around Boleskine House.  

Location of Boleskine house: South-east side of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands, and apparently suffered significant fire damage in December 2015.

Are You Doing Everything Right To Manifest Your Dream?

Wikihow pic :)

Are You Doing Everything Right To Manifest Your Dream?

Here are the seven steps to manifest anything you want 

Step 1: Get really really clear on what you want. ...(Hmm, what do you really want?)

Step 2: Ask the universe. ...

Step 3: Work toward your goals a bit every day. ...

Step 4: Trust the process. ..

Step 5: Receive and acknowledge what you get. ...Be grateful!

Step 6: Keep Your Vibration High. ...Remember to become conscious of your thoughts....        Everything you think, say or feel becomes your reality. 

Step 7: Clear your resistance- by doing some of the next things listed here: 

Appreciation. Appreciation and love are identical vibrations. Appreciation is the absence of resistance. If all you did was look for things to appreciate you would live a happy, joyous life. Write a list of the things in your life that you appreciate and are thankful for. The longer your list the better.

Meditation. When you relax and quiet your mind, your attention is turned away from what holds your vibration in a lower place. It only takes 10 to 15 minutes a day of meditation to significantly improve your life.

Spend time in nature !!!!! Listen  to music you love...pet your cat/or dog 😉😸🐕

Releasing resistance is critical in manifesting what you want and living a positive life. When you set the intention to let go of anything that is not serving you, your life will transform and you will thrive.

*Try a guided meditation with Joe Treacy, his stuff is pretty cool and on youtube. There is one  called ,"Guided Meditation - Clearing Blocks and Negativity with your Spirit Guide.  I will put the link on my side bar, where all the extra info is on BlueMoon Tarot blog.

Part 2 of Pixies, Elves, and Other Creatures- K's contribution

Creature Feature: Kappa

Hello again everyone!

Have you ever heard of Japanese Yokai? The term "Yokai" has a few different meanings: a creature, presence, or phenomena that is mysterious or eerie in nature. Yokai culture is quite popular in Japan and the Kappa is probably one of the most well known types of Yokai. I first came across a photo of this interesting creature while reading up on Japanese history and legends a few years ago and discovered that there is quite a background when it comes to this once widely feared Yokai.

No one is really sure where the name "Kappa" originated from, but stories began circling about the strange Yokai as early as 1444. The Kappa became more widely mentioned in texts between 1603-1697, where it is described in detail and stories of attempts to drag humans, horses and cows underwater were documented.

Kappa, or, "river child", is also known as Kawataro, Komahiki ("horse puller"), or Kawatora ("river tiger"). The appearance of a Kappa paints a rather grotesque picture; it is humanoid and typically about the size of a child. In addition to a large shell on its back, a Kappa is always depicted with a dish-shaped indentation on the top of its head, which is filled with water and is said to be the source of its power. Often a Kappa will have a turtle-esque face, and a warty or scaly lizard body (although there have been other depictions) and in some stories it is said that their arms are connected to each other through the torso and can slide from one side to the other.  They emanate a fishy smell and can swim very well, but do occasionally come on land, where they cover their head plate with a metal cap for protection as they head to the mountains.

Kappa art by Yuko Shimizu

Kappa are said to live in and around water, such as rivers, moats, and ponds. As ultimate tricksters and troublemakers, they often emerge from these areas to wreak havoc on unsuspecting humans or cattle. Although their behaviour is often harmless, there are many stories of Kappa drowning people, kidnapping children, and eating human flesh or drinking blood of their victims. Kappa are used to warn children about the dangers lurking in rivers and lakes, and there are warning signs about Kappa by the water in many Japanese villages and towns. 

If you come across a Kappa, it is said that escape can be difficult. However, Kappa have a strange obsession with politeness and a deep sense of decorum, and if you make a deep bow, they will feel obliged to return the gesture. This causes the water from their head plate to spill out and they are unable to leave the position until the plate is refilled with water from the river or place where they reside, as this is their source of power. Apparently once a person refills the water plate, a Kappa is indebted to them for all eternity. Other methods of defeating a Kappa include detaching its arms (as this is another weakness), or sumo wrestling. Again, the Kappa will perform favours or share knowledge with the person. There are stories of Kappa performing all sorts of tasks for humans, like helping farmers, bringing fresh fish, and even giving medical advice.

According to legend, Kappas love cucumbers, to the point where they prefer eating them over children or anything else. They are often depicted with cucumbers in art, and Japanese parents will often bring a cucumber to the water's edge and write the name of their children, or their own names, onto the cucumber and throw it into the water where Kappa are said to live. The hope is that this act will appease the Kappa and allow the family to bathe safely.

Kappa love cucumbers!

The Kappa is said to reside especially in the Saga Prefecture of Japan, but you can see shrines and festivals dedicated to these Yokai throughout Japan, which deal with worshipping particularly helpful Kappa and asking for a good harvest.

Pixies, Elves, and Other Creatures. - This next entry is going to be a collaboration effort, so hope you like it. 😅

Exmouth Pixie- I had a cool Gran that was from South London. I never met my Gran, but she use to write to me and send me neat stuff. This Gran was into horoscopes, gambling, good luck charms, dancing etc., and all when it was frowned upon...My Gran was a free spirit type and a Sagittarius 💖
This one time she sent me an Exmouth Pixie and I thought, "wow Gran that looks evil"😟😈
So for the longest time I could not find much information about this Exmouth Pixie, but I have found a little bit out.

Exmouth Pixie

For those of you that don't know,  Exmouth is a seaside resort in East Devon, England, sited on the east bank of the mouth of the River Exe. I'm not sure I have been to Exmouth, but I have been to Devon and Cornwall.  My Pixie would be a Devon Pixie if he is from Exmouth, but I see more info on Cornwall Pixies (maybe its one and the same)...? Here is what I have found: Pixies are mythical creatures of folklore, considered to be particularly concentrated in the high moorland areas around Devon and Cornwall, suggesting some Celtic origin for the belief and name. Apparently they steal horses and children, & lead travellers astray.(good grief !) Pixies are believed to inhabit ancient underground ancestor sites such as stone circles, barrows, dolmens, ring forts or menhirs....They like to dance! Before the mid-19th century, pixies and fairies were taken seriously in much of Cornwall and Devon.  In some areas belief in pixies and fairies as real beings persists.
My pixie is from "Devon" and this is what is said about them: In Devon, pixies are said to be "invisibly small, and harmless or friendly to man."I was told: all who wear this charm will have luck, health and happiness! 
The Queen of the "Cornish" pixies is said to be "Joan the wad" and she is considered to be good luck or bring good luck. 

This is Joan

Creature Feature-

The "Creature" I'm going to write about is Ogopogo....
I live in B.C. western Canada, and in Canadian Folklore  Ogopogo is a lake monster reported to live in Okanagan Lake. The area kind of reminds me of northern Italy, with lakes and vineyards etc....The first nations people (native Indians of B.C.) have reported seeing Ogopogo since the 19th century. This lake monster kind of reminds me of Nessie in Scotland (same idea). As a child and visiting the area of Okanagan Lake, I was so afraid to swim in the lake thinking Ogopogo would get me😅 Ogopogo is said to be 40 to 50-foot-long (12 to 15 m), and here is a kids play area with an idea of what they think he/she might look like:

Ogopogo
