The Solstice meeting will be closed, and conducted on Haunted Mesa. DO NOT guide guests of any sort to the meeting. (No candidates, recruits, or new initiates that have not become full members. In other words, if they don’t know how to get there, they don’t belong. If they are advanced enough to find the place through spirit travel, they are advanced enough to join us.)

The Draco was an emblem and artifact that became popular with the Dacian cavalry. One of the really neat things about it was that it whistled. Yes, whistled. The draco was used as a war standard, and was made of bronze. When wind blew through the mouth, the Draco would emit a whistle that was eerie and frightening to those that heard it. It is considered to be one of the sources for the concept of a dragon. (See more)
This mummy had her hands sewn into her sleeves, and appears to have been tied up with a rope. There is, however, no indication of a struggle. The eyes had been covered. You can see that one still is. These precautions indicate a concern that she might rise again from the dead. Note the beadwork. This has lead to speculation that this person must have been important in the tribe.

In response to Roland; a correction to my reference to a location vanishing in “all realities”.
Heh. No, the entire location did not vanish. The location has an identifying object in it, the “Broken Obelisk”. And you are correct, “in all realities” was misleading. I meant the stack of realities that identifies something as existing in our particular physical time and place. That is to say, I was in my spirit body, and it had not simply vanished from the spirit plane so that I could not see it. For instance, the first time I visited Castle Rock I was expecting it to be completely bare, and that is what I observed. In following visits I became aware there is a man-made object up there. The spirit plane does not always reflect the physical perfectly, especially if a person projects their own pre-conceived notions.
Actually, the full story behind the obelisk is rather amusing to me in retrospect. I arrived at the U.W. fairly easily because I had googled the location and knew the way to get there. (That isn’t really necessary, but I have a tendency to over-control some situations. I was treating spirit travel as if it was the same as physical travel. It is not.) I spotted the obelisk, as it was my target object, in the middle of the Quad, also known as “

I did not hear back from anyone concerning a problem with the target site. I rather expected that I would.
When I went to visit it before posting the picture. I discovered something very peculiar: I could not find the Obelisk!
Now I admit, some things are harder to perceive in spirit than others, but the Obelisk has had so much attention paid to it by students that for it to not be evident is very unusual. Not quite as unusual as one might suppose, however. I am fairly certain that it actually, physically, in all realities, was not there. I decided to post the location anyway, to see what reactions I got, but I didn’t get any. Now you must understand, I am not a student, and do not live near the U.W., so I can not check up on these things readily. However, I believe the Obelisk must have been moved for some reason. Perhaps I happened to explore the site just before some event that required the Quad to be completely clear. Or perhaps it was on loan to some exhibit. It is, after all, an art piece, and I believe, although I could be wrong, one by an artist who has produced other well received pieces.
Be that as it may, the Obelisk seems to have returned, and I would appreciate feedback. I know there are at least a few North Western Vampires. If one of you is either a student of (or lives close to) the U.W., please let me know if the Obelisk went walk-about.

P.s. Please follow the link on the Blog site, and take a look at the Web site. It isn’t much, but I would like feedback.
A favorite correspondent of mine, FF, has recommended this book: Book of the Witch Moon: Chaos, Vampiric & Luciferian Sorcery .
I am sure there are many interesting aspects to the book, and will need to peruse it more thoroughly. From FF’s report, there are several items I would like to comment on. I should probably not start with a negative comment, but the problem stands out so predominantly that I have to. The problem is in the reference to “Luciferian Sorcery”. This is a bit of an embarrassment to modern Christians. Some never really study their own religion, and continue to parrot incorrect notions that were uncovered as errors as soon as the Bible was written in a common tongue, but occultists should know. There is no Lucifer. There never was a Lucifer. At least, not in the sense of a fallen angel. The reason why people talk about Lucifer and thought he existed is because of a purposeful corruption in the Bible that created a great deal of fuel for hellfire and brimstone writing during the first millenium. The name is real. “Lucifer” means, essentially, “Bright Fiery Light”, and refers to the morning star, Venus, but a “Luciferian” was a follower of a Bishop named Lucifer that wanted to condemn all those that did not adhere to the Nicene creed according to Emperor Constantine’s decree.
The entire situation reveals much about Christianity and affects vapir shamanism indirectly. I have cut my original post, and placed my comments here:
