Back on line
It’s been a while since i posted, the last year or so have been difficult due to events beyond my control.
Being a therapist brings many joys, however there is one nightmare situation we are often warned of but I never thought would happen to me, the false allegation.
Earlier this year i was the subject of this which led to lots of negative publicity because basically there are some newspapers which will publish anything without checking the facts. The allegation went to trial despite lack of evidence and i was quickly found not guilty unanimously.
This quick decision was an obvious one, since the person making the statement, made several statements each contradicting the other including no idea about what year i had treated her.
My friends, family, clients and ex wife supported me greatly through this period and their statements helped prove my innocence.
The prosecution case was non-existent and quickly disproved, however they tried to win over the jurors by discrediting my beliefs about the spiritual world.
The trial was nolonger about me but about my beliefs as a Shaman, a Witch. Cross examined about my Ethics since witches put curse upon people, have loose morals, dont believe in God, yes these were the words in a British trial in 2018. I defended my personal character and my faith in a witness box for an hour, while my belief in the Divine as a Goddess was challenged.
The judge eventually put a stop to this farce and the jury after hearing the testament of witnesses found the allegations unfounded. However the press didn’t bother to publish my innocence only the allegations and still they sit on the internet, this as happened to me and other pagans who seem more vulnerable to false allegations due to bias that still exists even today.
So if your a pagan who is a therapist be extra careful who you treat, what safety measure you have in your lone working practices

Some thoughts on Anamorphic Gods and Goddesses and the reincarnation of the soul.
If we look back in history we are often presented with the images combining human and animal forms Sorcerer of Trois-Freres being an early example. To the anthropologist these are seen as humans expressing their religious understanding of the world in concepts they can relate to or the survival of shamanic practice of ancestors using animal forms. Animistic beliefs could be seen to have their most complexed representation in the anamorphic forms of ancient Egypt, among some Egyptologists the pantheon of Gods/Goddesses may relate to ancient ancestors shamanic practice much like other African cultures.
Many cultures Gods/Goddesses have the suggestion either in creation or foundation beliefs that they existed in a human or animal form Woden is sometime referred to in the context of being a Shaman. Zeus is a shapeshifting God who overcame earlier primordial entities to become the father of the Gods/Goddesses, the appearance of shapeshifting in religion and folklore is worldwide.
But while the simplistic idea of simply a tool towards hunting may be true in some cases, however returning to the image of the Sorcerer we have an amalgam of animals and the human form. This image is embodying the important animals of that time the human being one of them, in shamanic societies other species are spoken of as our brothers and sisters their spirits being equal too ours or wiser. The shaman seeks the wisdom of the Salmon or the Crow to advise on earthly matters, in the modern western mind we are taught that animals just use instinct and lack thought or reason being beneath us.
However finally science is beginning to understand that many animals not just primates have remarkable levels of reasoning, The vast communication abilities of the Corvids with 1000 plus calls and two types of language and problem solving abilities using tools, other species such as octopuses have now being evidenced using tools, along with warblers, elephants to name but a few.
Dolphins and Whales are now recognized to have complexed communications and social grouping by most people, the example of Koko the signing gorilla and perhaps more interestingly Kanzi a bonobo show ability of animals to explore abstract thought and learning process beyond instinct. increasingly examples of interspecies cooperation, that was the stuff of folklore is being recorded for the first time empirically thanks to new technology. Non human animals are vastly more complexed then we generally realize, we try to judge them by our standards assuming we are superior because of our demonstrated technological advantages.
How then does this relate to reincarnation, it often being mooted by those that don't believe in reincarnation that there is far to many people alive to be accounted for by previously living people. The Hindu religion believes in the evolution of the soul and that people may previously have being animals, in my observation I believe this to be true we all may have had previous lives in animal form however we find it difficult enough to remember our past human life which would have being in a form that we can relate to, let alone the complexity of understanding significantly different forms of thinking.
I am lucky enough to have retained memories from a number of past lives, however faintly I believe that one of my memories was in animal form and don’t consider any less of a life then the others.
WE are animals, we share same building blocks physically and same desires to live eat make love and rest. So how is this relating to the anamorphic Gods/Goddesses, our ancestors were far more connected to the spiritual realms then us and saw the Gods/Goddesses for what they were Gods/Goddesses of all things and likewise they were part of all things human and non human when we saw them they had the appearance of a mixture of us and our animal brothers and sisters. However to excuse our growing abuse and lack of honoring of our brothers and sisters the Gods/Goddesses lost their anamorphic image. It is in the older religious belief of Shamanism that we see the true face of Gods/Goddesses and it wears a beak or whiskers and I am not talking a long white beard
