There were comments after the MindCast debut last Friday that some did not understand the concept of Elektra, the Brazilian Citrine Skull which I encountered at The Blue-Eyed Witch in Tombstone.
There is much written about crystal skulls on the Internet -- some seem like aggrandized descriptions, others, of course scoffing and debunking.
Despite what might seem to the skeptic like a conflated description of the metaphysical properties of these skulls, let's look at what we know about crystals scientifically. First, they have a neutrality which makes them an excellent conductor. Most people know that quartz crystals are used as conductors in everything from radios to watches to computers. Crystals with occlusions are used as recorders. There are 32 classes of crystals. Twenty classes are piezoelectric, meaning that it creates electricity under mechanical stress (like pressing or squeezing). Ten classes are pyroelectric, meaning that it emits electricity when it is heated. Even rarer are ferroelectric crystals which take on permanent magnetic qualities when activated. Citrine is all three.
Let's apply this to Elektra, who is a citrine skull. When Kelly was explaining to me how to sit with Elektra, she told me I could touch her, put my hands around her, rub her head with a cloth. Kelly told me that Elektra already knew what I needed, and that when I left, she would always be with me.
Knowing what I do now about crystals, I realize that when I pressed her with my hands, I activated her piezoelectric qualities. When I rubbed her head with the cloth, I created a little friction, which would activate her pyroelectric qualities. And since it is the ferrous (iron) qualities which give her her color, when I touched her, we created a permanent magnetic bond between us.
I really didn't even have to touch her. With a crystal of that size (she is the size of a human skull), her properties would be greatly magnified and easily activated. Just the electricity going on in my body would be enough to interact with her properties. Now, some scientists might question my conclusion of creating a permanent magnetic bond with her, although ferrouselectric crystals do just that. But they might conclude that the magnetic bond would reside with her and not with me. However, a quantum physicist would understand how it could be because we exchanged properties -- the moisture in my skin would absorb the magnetic bond and it would be conducted within me.
Also, Kelly allowed me to choose a small citrine crystal to sit between Elektra and I which she said would record the session. Besides the permanent magnetic bond, the properties of the citrine (especially pieces with inclusions) make it an excellent recording device.
So now when one considers the proposed metaphysical qualities of citrine, perhaps they don't seem so conflated. One can certainly extrapolate that it would have clearing properties, thus affecting one mentally, emotionally, and physically. (Remember what a magnet can do to your computer? It can erase it.) But what about it's purported ability to attract wealth?
First remember that wealth means different things to different people. In other words, citrine's magnetic crystal qualities will help you to attract to yourself whatever you want. Most everyone desires wealth and prosperity, even if it's in the form of joy, happiness, rich experiences, great friendships, lovers, or money.
Elektra was carved by a modern artist, but she spent time with and was activated by an ancient crystal skull. As a recording device, the ancient skull must contain some of the greatest wisdom of the ages and has passed it on to Elektra. Once you bond with Elektra, you have at your disposal a tool that will help you access the same ancient wisdom. You can consult with her, and the wisdom will be revealed to you. Her clarifying powers are at your disposal whenever you desire. Or you can spend more time in direct contact with her or your own citrine stone which you used to record the session and activate more healing. If you think I'm being far-fetched, look into the crystal gem encrusted breastplates of the Aaronic priests. They weren't just for decoration.
You have the power. Power is energy and wisdom. You can access it at will. Find the secrets of the ages revealed in ways that bring us to new enlightenment in the 21st Century.

The bounty continues!
Autumn bounty! We pulled in the last of the third harvest this morning: tomatoes, a couple of white eggplant, and the last of the corn which will go to our growing farmfowl population. The weather was glorious -- sunny, gorgeous October blue skies, and upper 60's.
I feel victorious today. I landed the first sponsorship account for MindCast. Once I got over my fear of cold-calling (thanks to some great coaching from KJLL's media director, Christopher Lidberg), it was actually fun! The reaction to the MindCast idea has been very warm -- people are getting excited!
I mentioned Jo'Ann Ruhl, professional psychic and medium, in my last post. She will be on AM 1330 on Gnosis this Saturday at 3 pm doing a special Samhain (Sow'en) show. It can also be live-streamed at www.tucsonsjolt.com from any web browser other than Firefox. Give it a listen, and let me know what you think! She will be MindCast's guest on New Year's Eve talking about oracles, psychics, and prognostication. Jo'Ann has taught a class on psychic development for the last 7 years, and is well known as an astrologer and energy healer as well.
I am postponing the MindCast debut for a week for several practical reasons. 1) I'm going to have an emergency tooth extraction next week and I'm not sure how much I'll feel like talking come Friday. 2) It will give me more time to sew up some sponsorship deals, and 3) it will give the KJLL production guys a chance to breathe after the election before jumping in to do our ads.
So tune in on Friday, Nov. 12th at 6 pm. We will talk about experiences "beyond the veil." Email us at mindcast1330@gmail.com, or call live during the broadcast (520-529-3508) to share your own story.

Paranormal? Supernatural?
When I was first inspired to create MindCast, I touted it to the station's media director as a show about the "paranormal." But I had a philosophical objection to the word. Same with "supernatural."
"Beside the normal," "above the natural" to whom? I was willing to use the word metaphysical because it means beyond the physical, and that I agree with. But who's the judge of what's normal and natural?
Then I realized that what's normal and natural for me may not be to the average person. It's in my nature to see beyond. To walk in both worlds. That's why I'm doing this show, right? I've been told over and over as I've told my stories that I should write them down and publish them because people are hungry to hear them.
My current fascination is with narrative. Storytelling. I have made up stories that came true. I began to understand that we create in telling. The Bible says that God made the Universe by speaking it into being. I think that must have been one of the first things I ever learned as a child that stimulated my imagination beyond the rational. Words create. Words create ex nihilo -- something out of nothing. Some people call that magic. Some call it religion. Some call it science. I call it will. As we learn more and more about this thing called reality, it is demonstrated over and over that we create our own reality. I create mine by telling my story, to the gods, to the Universe, to the people. And it's coming true every day.
I want to share it with you -- that's what MindCast is really all about.

Welcome to MindCast!
"There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 5
Horatio was a realist; he leaned toward a steady diet of ethics and and logic. But Hamlet had just had a conversation with his dead father. Hamlet and Horatio were both students at the University of Wittenberg; the same institution that nurtured Horatio's realism also harbored the famous Dr. Faustus who consorted with demons. (enotes.hamlet)
How do two people who have the same background and education end up with such different viewpoints? Personal experience. A whispered voice might have been easily dismissed if Hamlet could not say whether it was guilt or conscience or imagination, but Hamlet's dead father had appeared to him as a free-floating, full-torso, vaporous apparition, not just a voice in his head. Little was left to interpretation. He was given information that he had no other way of knowing.
Such things -- visions, psychic phenomena, apparitions, spirits -- are beyond the physical. Some people don't "believe" in such things. I don't think it has to do with belief; I call it experience, awareness, consciousness.
A very dear friend of mine told me once, "Spirituality is the art of noticing." People can be made to believe anything if it strikes their emotions just right. But to actually experience the metaphysical in a way that cannot be denied, opens ones eyes to see in a way that can't be unseen.
To see, to know, to have experienced. These bring a kind of wisdom which, when combined with energy, brings power. Experiences shared and explained bring others to desire gnosis -- authentic knowledge which brings personal light and understanding. To plant the seed that will ultimately generate the fruit of change in accordance with will -- that is MindCast.
