UFO Alien Encounter Episode I |The Elena Daanan Story | Astral Legends Elena Danaan is a field Archaeologist who spent many years working in Egypt and in France. Hereditary Shaman, she also studied Pagan spirituality, Magic and Alchemy. She was trained and ordained as a Druidess. Extraterrestrial contactee since childhood, Elena Danaan became emissary for the Galactic Federation of Worlds. Her world bestsellers "A Gift From The Stars", "We Will Never Let You Down" and "The Seeders" have marked our times and inspired millions of people. Born in Marseille, south of France, from a Greek father (Professional Soccer player Adonis "Tony" Zacharias) and a French-Gotelandish mother (Christiane Pallu-Danaan), Elena grew up as a very psychic child stranger to her environment. Talented in all kinds of artistic expressions, highly intuitive and gifted with extrasensory abilities, she knew from the start that she didn't fit into a judgemental, narrow-minded society. Elena started to devour books on science and paranormal, despite the bullying of her school comrades. Elena was always drawn to the stars, spending hours staring at the heavens in search for home. She developed a passion for Astrophysics and sciences, in a personal quest for truth.Elena Inherited of two strong strands of bloodlines from her biological mother: royal Magdalene line by her French grandfather and Saami-Norse line by her Gotlandish grandmother, Marie Danaan, from whom she changed her name after her father passed, becoming legally Elena Danaan to embrace this genetic heritage as a spiritual path. Elena was trained from a young age to the energy work and divination by Tarots and Runes. This training was given by her grandmother, Marie Danaan, true "Vølve" seeress and shamanka.This surname, "Danaan", given by her maternal grandmother, as borne by the wise women of the Gotland line of her family, comes from the mythical island in the middle of the Baltic Sea, Gotland. It was said to be populated by a magical race of beings, who gave to the Tuatha De Dannan the enchanted tools to fight the Dark Ones. This is where Elena's Shamanic heritage comes from, explaining her natural ability to safely and easily travel through dimensions and realms of Consciousness. This heritage of interdimensional traveler didn't only come from her Gotlandish  Shaman ancestors but also from the star people. Elena's grandmother  Marie  was taken onboard a ship of the Council of Five when she was young, where she was inseminated with the genetic material of a being named Annax, one of the Five representing the Egaroth race of Alnilam. The purpose of this project was to create the right vessel fit for the specific soul to come. It wasn't yet time for Elena to be born, as the world wasn't ready for the mission she needed to perform. So, the fruit of the union of the Tuatha de Dannan and the royal Egaroth lines, were layed in the womb of Marie's daughter: Elena's mother. This is the reason why Elena calls Annax her "Star Father".The Envoy Program, that we know more popularly under the name "Starseed", was originally created by the Alnilam Council Of Five, after the defeat of the Rebel Black League in the Orion Wars. The next battle against the Nebu was the liberation of Terra (Earth). Around two hundred thousands Envoys from all over the galaxy joined the program, and Elena was one of them. Everyone's mission was important.At age 9, Elena was abducted by Zeta Reticuli Small Grays, the Xrog, to be taken into the large scale hybridization programs. The abduction was traumatic and is decribed in details in her first best seller: "A Gift From The Stars". In this book, she describes how she was rescued by a crew of the Galactic Federation of Worlds, all blond fair skin people from different star systems. The ship captain, named Thor Han Eredyon from Ashaara in the Pleiades, will become her regular contact throughout her whole life and to this day. https://www.elenadanaan.org/a-gift-from-the-stars

Cat Treadwell is a full time Druid Priestess, Volunteer for The Druid Network & The Pagan Federation. She is a professional Chaplain and author, blogging at druidcat.wordpress.com. She shares her powerful inspirational thoughts and feelings regarding how spirituality can help people cope with many of the very difficult patterns that hinder our inner peace and balance. She also shares how one can benefit from nature's natural cure as well as building a strong personal Divine connection. Cat comes from a place of finding strength each day when she she finds herself having mental and emotional lows, and offers practical suggestions on how simply turning to spirituality and nature can help turn things around for those finding it difficult to cope with life's many challenges. This is quite a unique and introspective episode that can be returned to as often as necessary as a reminder of "THE BIGGER PICTURE", and how we sometimes overly complicate life more than we should, and how there is much beauty to experience everyday if we stop to open our eyes and hearts in order to let it in.

It doesn't take much to figure out what the title is talking about.  Many will talk about having a goal, but how many are willing to do the work to get there?  Here in the US, it's easy enough to see men walking around in what appear to be Army battle uniforms, but they aren't soldiers and never have been!  Some, in fact, would probably not survive a genuine drill sergeant!  Where religion and the spiritual are concerned, the matter is complicated by the fact that not all paths have well-defined paths of training and formation.For some, this means concern over finding themselves under the guidance of a wanna-be or worse.  For those who do intend to function as priest, priestess or other clergy, the question is how to avoid being perceived as "self-styled". Blessed Be!

Amergin by The Dolmen THE DOLMEN … A Storm has washed over Europe. Every so often, a band comes out of the Celtic heartlands, takes the musical audience by the throat and shakes it hard. And guess what, it’s about to happen again. The ever popular Celtic Folk-Rock scene in the UK has served up a real rough diamond, THE DOLMEN, a gig-hardened bunch of piratical rebel-rousers from the clan-lands, whose music and live performances have become the stuff of tribal legend, being both unique and very addictive. In 2011 they take this raw energy to mainland Europe. We are very proud to bring you one of their powerful, atavistic earlier tracks, Amergin from their album Songs from the Druids of Stonehenge.
