How hard would it be to set up a portable portal in your hometown, and notify the press that your StarGate, set up on a known Vortex Power Point, would be available for viewing from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on such-and-such a date???

Here’s a fantastic way to earn some Bodhisattva Merit!

You walk into a mall and persuade the mall people to let you set up your Portable Portal somewhere in the mall. Of course, viewing is free, and the folks are allowed to take — but are not handed — a flyer about the Atlantean-Society. Continue reading

IshtarFest 2014

SD794

                   IshtarFest 1977, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

In 1965, Bea Stanley and several other students at Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles came up with the idea of a festival to celebrate the Vernal Equinox and the event known today as “Easter”, a corruption of the word “Ishtar”, celebrating the descent of the Goddess into the Underworld and Her Triumphant Return (after the traditional 3 days & 3 nights including meals and tips, in the traditional Grave). These days, she’s had a sex-change and appears as the Easter Rabbit, leaving little eggs all over the White House lawn. Please don’t forget what this Sacred Holyday is all about — chocolate.
