A Train, Jeff Goldblum and an Alien Assignment

 Okay dreaming mind is visiting alien motifs again. This time. . .

I'm given a writing assignment in class. A combination of work/school. The assignment: describe yourself if you were an ET. What do you look like, what can you do, etc. I write a good two or three pages before I realize I haven't yet described what I look like as an alien. Just that I am an alien, and flying at night above a train, looking for Jeff Goldblum. I find him! He's alone in a car. Soft yellow light. A Edward Hopper painting feel.  My heart is a-flutter. Jeff Goldblum! I found him at last. Sigh. 

I remember now that I am to describe myself as an alien. However, I am really truly an alien, this is really happening, and the writing assignment is the dream, the unreal part. As an ET, I am winged. Blues and greens. Something of a flying mermaid fairy being. I realize I should change into human form so I don't scare off Jeff Goldblum. Wouldn't want to startle the poor man.

Geometric Oracle Dream

 

The other day I posted about hearing a voice call out "Nigel!"

Last night I dreamt that I was telling Barbara Fisher (host of the podcast Six Degrees of John Keel) about this experience. As I was telling Barbara about the voice, she was giving a reading to someone. The deck was not a traditional tarot deck, but an oracle card deck, one that had geometric shapes on them. Each shape was very important. It all had to do with fractal geometry. As she was explaining the meanings to the client, ectoplasm appeared around her, and white-golden shimmering light.

Next to me was Jim, wearing one of his McMinnvilee UFO Fest t-shirts. A man walked by, pointed at Jim and said "Oh yeah, we got you! Have to talk to you about this!"

And that is all.

Who is Nigel?

Weird experience last night. Since going through chemo, I've had a hard time getting to sleep at night. As usual, my brain was going a million miles a second until three in the morning. Suddenly I hear, very distinct, loud and sharp, Jim yell from the living room "NIGEL!!" 

Naturally I wondered what the heck was Jim doing out in the living room at three a.m, and, who the hell is Nigel? (Our only animal friend in the house is a cat and his name is Mango.) I then realize Jim is right next to me, sound asleep. As was Mango.

Kind of spooky. I was awake. 

Nigel: name meaning and origin - BabyCentre UK: 11 is one of the two "master numbers" of numerology. Those who possess it are highly intuitive, and have a strong sense of spirituality.

The number 11 is known as a "master number" because it has its own unique and powerful vibrations. Those influenced by it tend to find inner strength in times of trial, coping well with crisis and chaos. 

Also odd: Mango is eighteen. Poor guy has a cataract, is deaf in one ear, and for the past year has been meowing/crying at night. He sleeps on the bed with us but gets up a lot and will start his yowling when he's out in the living room. Then he starts up again around six a.m. Last night he was very calm and didn't yowl at all. He had left the bedroom at some point and slept on the couch in the living room, which I found surprising since I hadn't heard him cry.

Everything Here All At Once

 I'm just going to throw it all out here. I have many blogs, some which I can't access due to massive Google/Blogger fuck ups. And after fifteen years or more of blogging I have no idea what passwords were when where... 

So the Orange Orb is all about UFOs. The things themselves, cases old and new, my own experiences, my friends, my armchair research, my rants,UFO Land,  ghosts, aliens, crytpids, and all manner of Fortean weirdness. Always.

But also art and poetry and writing and who the hell knows. Stay tuned. Please. Thanks.

I'm Still Here But . . .

 I'm still here, and still care. But I am having health issues; won't go into details but it involves chemo. I am optimistic and the prognosis is good. But I will probably not be posting much on this blog or any of my other blogs. Then again, I could spew forth rants about UFO/UAP Pentagon nonsense if I get bored. 

Anyway, everyone out there in Saucer Land keep looking up.

Oh, and read this post by Jeremy Vaeni. I was going to say the same thing. Except not nearly as eloquently as he did. 

I Am A Citizen of Lamb Island

 Uri Geller's island. I am now an official citizen. Costs $1.00 and it goes to charity to help children who need surgeries. Of course, I can't stay on the island; it's very rocky and small and protected bird sanctuary. Which is very cool. And, of course, it is a UFO hot spot, and off the Scottish mainland. Ach, does my Celtic soul good.

Medium Joe Diamond's Radio Experiment

 Mentalist and medium Joe Diamond was the guest on Coast to Coast the other night. I played along with the following: 

Host George Noory had Diamond guest what number between 1 and 5 he was thinking of. I thought "4" than said to myself, no, it's 3, wait, hmmm... no, it's 4. Want to say 3 but it's 4." 

Sure enough, Noory was thinking of 4. Brownie point for me because Diamond said he thought 4, then 3, then back to 4. Was I picking up on Diamond's though or Noory's? Or, both.

Later, Diamond did an exercise with the listening audience. We were to see how close we could come to see what Joe Diamond was envisioning. First thing: think of a location. I immediately thought/saw "beach" but then out thought myself, because I love the beach and always want to be there; it's my favorite location. So I thought "snow." White. 

Second instruction: think of a color. I thought blue; and white next to it. But blue predominantly.

Next, temperature. How does your body feel? I thought/felt cold, convinced "snow" was correct and also, I was cold, due to the blankets being off. 

Then, shapes. Two simple shapes. I saw a circle, with a box type shape stuck on top of it.

Turns out Diamond's scene was: a beach, hot, circle, pyramid, blue. 

Shows you how over thinking something can mess up your initial thought or vision. Overall though pretty good.

Anti-Hex, Good Luck Spell Jars

 I really like the way this one turned out. These are for auction on eBay.

Anti-Hex spell jar. Protects from negative vibes sent your way. If someone put a spell on you, use this.

And this one: Good Luck spell jar.

Dreams, Synchronicity, Hoodoo

 Dreams and Synchronicity

Both my spouse and I were close friends with someone I'll call Joe.  A falling out, and hadn't had contact for a few years. This morning I told Jim: "I had a dream about 'Joe' last night." And Jim said: "That's odd, so did I."

Odd. We hadn't been talking about Joe, nothing would have triggered our dreaming minds. Well, something did obviously, but nothing conscious. 

So I look up Joe on Facebook, and see that he's now a grandfather. We were also close with his children, knowing them from when they were little, to adulthood. The grandchild's name is the same name -- an unusual name -- that Jim and I were going to name our child decades ago. (I miscarried.) Another weird little oddity.

A new book arrived today. Hoodoo Sen Moise's Working Conjure: A Guide to Hoodoo Folk Magic.

Just barely into it and I am finding it very interesting.

UFO Creates 'Snow Circle' in Oregon? | Coast to Coast AM

Tim Binnall reports on a 'snow circle' in the Eastern part of Oregon. Interesting account because, while the circle seems like a natural phenomena, the strange lights in the sky and eerie reactions of animals in the area add to the mystery.

UFO Creates 'Snow Circle' in Oregon? | Coast to Coast AM

Not for the first time . . .

 I've been saying it for years, as have others. UFO study has always been full of crazy, nutty, silly, slimy, hucksters, as well as racists, classists and misogynists. Always. And it still is, and always will be. It's a given. 

That's not bad. Well, no, wait. It is bad of course. But that shouldn't discourage us. Call them out. Fight 'em. Show them up. And then get on with whatever it is you're exploring. Don't let the creeps in UFO Land make you give up. Just accept the fact that that is the way it is.

Projects: Spell Jars and Paintings

 My husband painted this last year. He's titled it "Orange Orb." After all these decades, orange sphere in the sky still scuds along in our subconscious.

I've been making spell jars and very much enjoying them. I have them up on Etsy and eBay.
