The Thick Veil of Reason
The Thick Veil of Reason
In researching the folklore archives of SacredTexts.com I had
thought that I was already familiar with the modus operandii of the faerie folk
or elemental Greys as we call them today having been personally exposed to
their nonsense some years ago.
However what strikes me the most in reading about these realities
is that they are basically the same kind of anecdotal evidence as my own
reports that I wrote up in the Turning of the Tide
http://www.andrewhennessey.co.uk/turningv6.pdf except that they are couched in
the language and cultural frames of reference of the 16-19th Centuries and
therefore just sound more antique.
They do operate in just that surreal way that is being reported
today though - but it seems to me that so many people are not paying attention
that somehow en-masse the masses think they are invulnerable to these realities
because they watch MTV and the soaps.
If anything human society has never been more vulnerable to alien
interdimensional soul parasitism as represented by the reported behaviour of
faeries and greys. [See the Song of the Greys by Nigel Kerner].
From the folklore record you can see that every other interesting
conversation was a paranormal conversation, not stuff about APPS on iPod.
You can see from the folklore records that poltergeist invasion
was the norm, that demonically infested objects was an ordinary occurrence,
that people getting lifted up and translocated into other countries was not
unheard of and that the abduction of children and adults alike was part of the
territory everywhere on the globe and no family was exempt from the possibility
of harm.
Today people might not want to pay attention to this infiltration
and parasitism but it is definitely paying attention to you. Why would it stop
because you've switched on your HD Flatscreen ?
What has happened to people to take their minds off this dangerous
reality ?
Today people are not considered reasonable who speak of such
paranormal things that cannot be touched in the same way we could touch the
touch-screen on our iPad. People in total denial for one reason or another make
up semi-rational sounding explanations and pseudo-science concoctions to
dismiss this interdimensional reality.
Indeed in many places - reports of people being replaced by aliens
can be called a syndrome - Capgras syndrome. Not all sufferers of Capgras
syndrome are necessarily complaining about real aliens but may have been prone
to other human diseases of the biochemistry or delusions. There is even a form of Capgras syndrome where
the sufferer thinks mundane household objects have been replaced by
dysfunctional fakes.
And if you were ever chased about by a shapeshifting holographic demon or man in black - there's a syndrome for that too - Fregolis Syndrome - all perfectly reasonable etc
Here is an account of such an alien infested object from the 19th Century
in Scotland.
Indeed many of the vulgar account it extremely dangerous to touch
anything which they may happen to find without saining (blessing) it, the
snares of the enemy being notorious and well-attested. A poor woman of
Teviotdale having been fortunate enough, as she thought herself, to find a
wooden beetle, at the very time when she needed such an implement, seized it
without pronouncing a proper blessing, and, carrying it home, laid it above her
bed to be ready for employment in the morning. At midnight the window of her
cottage opened, and a loud voice was heard calling up some one within by a
strange and uncouth name. The terrified cottager ejaculated a prayer, which, we
may suppose, ensured her personal safety; while the enchanted implement of
housewifery, tumbling from the bedstead, departed by the window with no small
noise and precipitation
Scottish Fairy and Folk Tales, by George Douglas, [1901]
People today therefore are lulled to sleep by a veil of mundane
reasoning which seems to depend on ignoring relevant facts which refute it. In
this way people with academic titles and establishment plaudits wage war on the
innocent victims by dismissing them as irrationalist crackpots.
Damage limitation by the establishment true, that those on the
periphery of the human herd are picked off and no-one can hear them scream
above the clamour of the iPod speakers.
There is one thing today however that the inhabitants of the 21st
Century are largely missing - something which could have protected from the
predation - something or someone that those in previous centuries had and clung
to and who was known to effectively work.
Christ.
Today however, the New World Order unChristian materialism-science
religion seems to be pervasive and written into various new bible edits that
deny the divine origins of Christ.
In almost every scenario we can think of - Christ is subtracted
from our lives by orchestrated hypocrisy in the church, and established
discrimination against Christian realities e.g. the wearing of a cross at work.
We have all heard the rhetoric that is based in the soulless
rhetoric of e.g. Richard Dawkins - who says God doesn't exist and science is
sufficient even though Dawkins has refused to move his 1992 scientific position
on Darwin to that of the Chaos biologist Brian Goodwin who easily shows that
Darwins naïve model so promoted by Dawkins has been superceded by
supercomputation in Chaos theory.
Dawkins proud man of science appears to be unable to recognise a
better scientific model than that of a 19th Century biologist with no real
tools at his disposal.
A true Scientist would discard a falsified model. [Popper, K, Conjectures and Refutations, 1962, London]
Science therefore - guided by population cull recommendations like
Sustainability UN Agenda 21 is failing to deliver free energy and make the
known cheap cancer cure Dichloro acetate [DCA] freely available.
No help from Science therefore.
In Days of old - people who wanted to get out of this hungry, desolate
reality and head to a high heaven would call on Christ and use His symbols.
People from global cultures may not recognise Christian realities
but the demons definitely do !!
Luke 8: 26 And they
arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 And when he went forth
to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long
time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.
28 When he saw Jesus, he
cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to
do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
29 (For he had commanded
the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him:
and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and
was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
30 And Jesus asked him,
saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered
into him.
31 And they besought him
that he would not command them to go out into the deep.

The Science of Fairy Tales: An Enquiry Into Fairy Mythology by Edwin
Sidney Hartland [b. 1848 d. 1927] New York: Scribner & Welford [1891] comes
this story:
At all events, over a very wide area the cross is thought a potent
protection; nor is the belief by any means confined to Christian lands. Mr.
Mitchell Innes tells us that the fear of changelings exists in China. "To
avert the calamity of nursing a demon, dried banana-skin is burnt to ashes,
which are then mixed with water. Into this the mother dips her finger and
paints a cross upon the sleeping babe's forehead. In a short time the demon
soul returns--for the soul wanders from the body during sleep and is free--but,
failing to recognize the body thus disguised, flies off. The true soul, which
has been waiting for an opportunity, now approaches the dormant body, and, if
the mark has been washed off in time, takes possession of it; but if not, it,
like the demon, failing to recognize the body, departs, and the child dies in
its sleep." [e] How to hit the exact moment between the flight of the
demon and the advent of the true soul doubtless puzzles many a Chinese mother
fully as much as the cross puzzles the two competing souls. But when she is
successful she baffles the evil spirit by deceit, of which the cross is made
the instrument; though we may well believe that the child is not disguised in
this way without reference to the cross's inherent sanctity; for it is a
religious symbol among nations who never heard the gospel of the Crucified.'
Hartland seems to be saying in his book that although Christianity
is seen to be a major factor that protects us from the evil ones that we are
just all making a silly mistake and that there is a perfectly 'rational'
explanation for it all ... etc
Here he is first variously stating how Christianity works with
examples:
We have already seen in the last chapter that the performance of
Christian rites and the exhibition of Christian symbols and sacred books have a
powerful effect against fairies. But further, the invocation, or indeed the
simple utterance, of a sacred name has always been held to counteract
enchantments and the wiles of all supernatural beings who are not themselves
part and parcel of what I may, without offence and for want, of a better term,
call the Christian mythology, and who may therefore at times, if not
constantly, be supposed to be hostile to the Christian powers and to persons
under their protection.
IN previous chapters we have seen that human beings are sometimes
taken by fairies into Fairyland, and that they are there kept for a longer or
shorter period, or, it may be, are never permitted to return to earth at all.
We have noted cases in which they are led down for temporary purposes and, if
they are prudent, are enabled to return when those purposes are accomplished.
We have noted other cases in which babes or grown women have been stolen and
retained until their kindred have compelled restoration. The story cited in the
last chapter from Giraldus describes a seduction of a different kind. There the
visit to Fairyland was of a more voluntary character, and the hero was able to
go to and fro as he pleased. We have also met with tales in which the
temptation of food, or more usually of drink, has been held out to the
wayfarer; and we have learned that the result of yielding would be to give
himself wholly into the fairies' hands. I propose now to examine instances in
which temptation of one kind or other has been successful, or in which a spell
has been cast over man or woman, not merely preventing the bewitched person
from regaining his home and human society, but also rendering him, while under
the spell, impervious to the attacks of time and unconscious of its flight.
A NEW-BORN babe, of all human beings the most helpless, has always
roused compassion and care. Nor is it a matter for wonder if its helplessness
against physical dangers have led to the assumption that it is exposed to
spiritual or supernatural evils more than its elders. At all events it seems a
widespread superstition that a babe, when first it makes its appearance in this
world, must be protected not merely against the natural perils of its
condition, but also against enemies of an even more subtle and fearful
description. The shape taken by this superstition in north-western Europe is
the belief in Changelings--a belief which I propose to examine in the present
chapter.
By the belief in changelings I mean a belief that fairies and
other imaginary beings are on the watch for young children, or (as we shall see
hereafter) sometimes even for adults, that they may, if they can find them
unguarded, seize and carry them off; leaving in their place one of themselves,
or a block of wood animated by their enchantments and made to resemble the
stolen person. Wise mothers take precautions against such thefts. These
precautions are tolerably simple, and for the most part display the same
general character. First and foremost among them is the rite of baptism,
whereby the little one is admitted into the Christian Church. Faith in the
efficacy of baptism as a protection from the powers hostile to man is not less
strong among communities nominally Protestant than among Roman Catholics, and
has doubtless operated to bring many children within the pale of the visible
Church who might otherwise have been long in reaching that sacred enclosure.
Examples of the belief in the power of baptism against the depredations of
fairies could easily be cited from all Protestant countries.
Thus in Scotland it was deemed highly judicious to keep an
open Bible always near a child, and even to place the holy volume beneath the
head of a woman in labour. In some parts of Germany it is enough to lay a
single leaf out of a Bible or prayer-book in the cradle, until by the baptism
of the infant the danger of robbery passes away; and a prayer-book is also
placed under the pillow of the newly-made mother, who is at that time specially
liable to fall under the power of the underground folk. Indeed a prayer-book,
or the mere repetition of a Paternoster, is equally valuable with a Bible for
these purposes; and if, by the neglect of any of these precautions, an
opportunity be given to the foe, the child may yet be saved by the utterance of
the name of Jesus Christ at the moment when the change is being effected. Holy
water and the sign of the cross, in Ireland, or a rosary blessed by a priest,
in Picardy, enjoy a similar reputation.
… In the island of Lewis fire used to be carried round women
before they were churched and children before they were christened, both night
and morning; and this was held effectual to preserve both mother and infant
from evil spirits, and (in the case of the infant) from being changed. The Sad
Dar, one of the sacred books of the Parsees, contains directions to keep a
continual fire in the house during a woman's pregnancy, and after the child is
born to burn a lamp for three nights and days--a fire, indeed, is declared to
be better--"so that the demons and fiends may not be able to do any damage
and harm." By way of enforcing this precept we are told that when
Zoroaster was born, a demon came at the head of a hundred and fifty other
demons, every night for three nights, to slay him, but they were put to flight
by seeing the fire, and were consequently unable to hurt him.
Iron or steel, in the shape of needles, a key, a knife, a pair of
tongs, an open pair of scissors, or in any other shape, if placed in the
cradle, secured the desired end. In Bulgaria a reaping-hook is placed in a
corner of the room for the same purpose. I shall not stay now to discuss the
reason why supernatural beings dread and dislike iron. The open pair of
scissors, however, it should be observed, has double power; for it is not only
of the abhorred metal,--it is also in form a cross. The use of the cross in
baptism was probably one of the reasons for the efficacy of that rite against
felonious fairies.
From the following general knowledge of the 16-19th Century that is still
seen to be evidential in todays abduction stories of the 20th and 21st
Century [ e.g. Karla Turner, Travis Walton, Garry Wood, Colin Wright] – it can
be seen that there is an ongoing agenda of these beings in a fallen state to
feed off the souls of the living less
they pass into dust themselves.
The Folk-Lore of the North-East of Scotland By Walter Gregor [1881]
"The fair folk" were most covetous of new-born children
and their mothers. Till the mothers were "sained" and churched, and
the children were baptised, the most strict watch and ward had to be kept over
them to keep them from being stolen. Every seven years they had to pay
"the teind to hell," and to save them from paying this tribute with
one of themselves they were ever on the alert to get hold of human infants.
"There came a wind oot o' the north,
A sharp wind and a snell;
And a dead sleep came over me,
And frae my horse I fell;
The Queen of Fairies she was there,
And took me to hersel.
And never would I tire, Janet,
In fairyland to dwell,
But aye, at every seven years
They pay the teind to
hell;
And though the Queen macks much o' me
I fear 'twill be
mysel."
When did that need cease ? Whenever we turn on American Idol ?
don’t think so.
These beings answer to the commands of Christ and those commands
made in the name of Christ.
Today we have the works of Vatican Deliverance Minister [Exorcist]
Stella Davis whose incredible and amazing stories testify to the ongoing power
of the Holy Spirit, the saints and Angels and Christ in our lives today.
Its quite amazing that the very presence that could save our souls
from a very hard time is almost totally marginalised by the powers within
society.
The infiltration of all sections of the Christian church is
pervasive – driving many people away – and although the Masonic P2 Conspiracy
behind the Vatican bank was publicised by David Yallop, even the Protestant
hierarchy overflowing with money lead the most ostentatious lifestyles and try
to justify their inordinate wealth by references to the old testament whose
first covenant was actually fulfilled
and superceded by Christs New covenant which was simply to love one another,
respect self and love God as self.
This loving message seems to get buried under the merchandise.
We stand firm though knowing that the Kingdom of Heaven is in our
hearts not out there amongst the bad news and hypocrisy and it is this resolve
that dark powers have tried to discolour.

THE FAIRY'S ENQUIRY
A CLERGYMAN was returning home one night after visiting a sick
member of his congregation. His way led by a lake, and as he proceeded he was
surprised to hear most melodious strains of music. He sat down to listen. The
music seemed to approach coming over the lake accompanied by a light. At length
he discerned a man walking on the water, attended by a number of little beings,
some bearing lights, others musical instruments. At the beach the man dismissed
his attendants, and then walking up to the minister saluted him courteously. He
was a little grey-headed old man, dressed in rather an unusual garb. The
minister having returned his salute begged of him to come and sit beside him.
He complied with the request, and on being asked who he was, replied that he
was one of the Daoine Shi. He added that he and they had originally been
angels, but having been seduced into revolt by Satan, they had been cast down
to earth where they were to dwell till the day of doom. His object now was, to
ascertain from the minister what would be their condition after that awful day.
The minister then questioned him on the articles of faith; but as his answers
did not prove satisfactory, and as in repeating the Lord's Prayer, he persisted
in saying wed instead of art in heaven, he did not feel himself justified in
holding out any hopes to him. The fairy then gave a cry of despair and flung
himself into the loch, and the minister resumed his journey.
