First of all thank you ShanghaiMoon! 🤗

I have been contemplating a book for years and wanting to write one but I have not knowing where to start or where to end. Lol! So I began a Substack as a way of putting all of my thoughts together for a book. I like your idea of compiling a group of them for publishing. I think that’s an excellent idea. But I will continue some time in the future to actually write a book. Have a blessed and magical day! ✨🤗✨

This was fantastic - thank you! Much of what ends up spinning my brain out in different directions and down different rabbit holes is a desire to chase after what I would call our proto-culture. World languages, myths, beliefs, and especially elaborate architecture styles are much too similar to one another for this to ever be a coincidence. We're simply not supposed to consider that we come from a united cultural background because it would serve to break other large swaths of our brainwashing. Unfortunate to be so disconnected from our own roots - but it's deliberate. If we don't know where we've been, we don't have a strong sense of where we're going.

I started giggling at "Philadelphia is located 2 hours in each direction between New York City and Washington DC, with Baltimore down the street, off the 95," for a reason I think you, having lived on both coasts, will find super amusing.

On the West Coast, taking an interstate, you would, culturally, place an article in front of it. You might take "the five" or "the ten" for instance. On the East Coast, you'd refer to "I-4" or "I-95." Or you might just say "take 95 to exit 20." No article.

Having grown up in Florida, I think of "I-95," or simply "95," but having lived in Santa Monica for a long time, I-10, to me, is "the ten."

So, around Jacksonville, I ended up at the intersection of "I-95" and "the ten," which is when I realized what my brain was doing by placing an article before one and not the other and started giggling about it in a way that only someone who has lived in both places would ever understand.

Seeing you call it "the 95" reminded me of trying to make sense of what my mind was doing in Jacksonville. And now I'm giggling all over again. 🤣❤️🥰

And I wonder if others feel like this about Maia and Maya and what it's like to see "Greco-Roman" pillars worldwide and never at least think, "How did this architecture, obviously predating the 1800s rapid building without proper tools lie we are told, happen to get here?" The thought makes time drop out from under me in the same way that experiencing the cultural duality of "the 95" makes me giggle. 🥰

I, too, find the subject of ancient cultures and their influence on all civilizations fascinating. When you get down to it, we all came from the same source—our Creator. And I believe in intelligent design by just looking around me and observing nature in the universe. We have been lied to on so many levels.

I found an intriguing book at my local library about ten years ago. It was about how Europeans discovered South America long before Columbus. And just like the movie Avatar, the invaders smashed the civilization to smithereens, leaving the South American aboriginal people homeless and wandering through the jungle trying to find purpose. If someone came across these people, they would have viewed them as uncivilized savages. This was when they sent in Columbus And other explorers. These people could report back to European nobility; the natives were uneducated and barbaric and needed to be controlled…. Convincing all of Europe and beyond about to invade the lands of North and South America was necessary. Of course, the picture they drew of American Indians was also erroneous. They conquered these people to steal their land and hide the advancement of these civilizations in the process of doing so. Once they settled in America, they noticed the Cherokee Indian tribe getting too big for their britches, so they marched them off to Oklahoma on a rump of land unfit for agriculture.

To reinforce the perspective of Europeans, they called the Apache Indians “savage” and then invented a dance in France named after this tribe.

It’s what they do, and we know it. But I have complete confidence that someday, all truth will be known to everyone. There will be no more questions asked. No more lies. The Bible mentions these liars will run and hide and won’t be able to find a place. I see signs of that happening, and maybe that’s why they are building bunkers. Time will tell.

It’s hilarious you mentioned the 95 story! When writing, I remembered the freeway being the 95, but I was unsure of myself because I don’t remember it being called the 95. So I had to check a map. And now I know why I was questioning myself. It’s because, on the East Coast, an article isn't used when, say, I 95. After I confirmed on a map it was the 95, I was still confused, and now you’ve straightened out my thinking. I have driven from the corner of the 101 and the 10 and have gone the 10 to Florida, where it becomes the I-10 and intersects with the I-95. Lol. 😂 Two important crossroads in America. Which reminds me of the crossroads of civilizations. The modern timeline crosses the path of the ancient line.

I'm sending you much love and a big hug! I hope you enjoy a beautiful December day you deserve. 🥰🤗✨💖💫🙏

Thank you! 🥰

History never repeats itself . . . Time is linear, a circle is a line, we use a circular clock to measure time, or a sundial that measures the rotation of the earth before the learned machinations of springs and gears . . .

. . . If you draw a circle with x=cos(t) and y=sin(t) and pull it evenly in z-direction, you get a spatial spiral called a cylindrical spiral or helix.

The idea that history repeats is in itself wholly illogical, but it serves a propaganda purpose to its users . . . meaning . . . you can’t go back to older cultural ways of doing things because that makes you a sinner, a nazi, or some kind of pagan devil.

The older pagan sexual mores were much more conducive to the health of Nordic-Scandinavian societies, and much more supportive of women than those of the Jewish god Yahweh, the locust master, the one who drowned the world and demanded a witch be burned alive, or an adulteress be stoned to death . . .

Monogamy is an unnatural order created by Zionist churchmen to attach vicarious liabilities in the secular law, to control monarchial successions, as well as to establish ecclesiastic control over white female procreativity and individual white male posterity . . . All men are born of a woman, married or not.

All this destructive Jewish propaganda in Hollywood and destructive Jewish religious practices brought to the West via Christianity is born from their desire to destroy the white race.

There is another Maya in Vedic Sanskrit. That "Maya" is a word meaning "illusion" or "magic." The Vedic Sanskrit is an alphabetic language that pre-dates Hebrew and Phoenician by about a thousand years. It is an elaboration of even earlier proto-Iranian and proto-Indo-European alphabetic languages.

There is a South German source of Altemose which means "Old Swamp." 🤪

There was definitely a spiritual aspect to the series of injuries. Someone was conjuring evil against you.

There is a prayer for shielding and protection you might want to know:

Eternal Father please shield and protect me from all of your enemies and all of my enemies. Thy will be done. Mother Mary please intercede with your powerful intercession. Amen.

Thank you, Jim! Enlightening! The more you research ancient languages, the more meaning there will be for our own modern languages. It’s like English is a dumb-down version Of what the ancients spoke. I believe we are a shadow of the ancient Civilizations. But they try to convince us we come from cave people.

I don’t think the show's actors were the target of a spell or a jinx. The fact we were injured many times and sometimes seriously because of production mistakes was God‘s way of telling us never to work for this producer again. That all came to a head in 1993 when we had to file a lawsuit against him to collect medical damages for what happened to my husband in Reno.

have a fabulous day! Blessings to you! ✨💖✨🤗

This is a wonderful, magical piece. For some reason, I think I know you. I was a journalist for the Associated Press in Harrisburg, PA (at the state capitol) and often worked in Philadelphia over the weekends. For anyone who's never been a journalist, let me tell you; there's plenty of magic in the field. I remember walking into the newsroom one day, saying to my crew, "We need a lede story, a disaster or something." That afternoon, the helicopter flying Senator John Heinz and his staff fell out of the sky. Everyone was killed. I learned just how powerful words could be in casting spells or making big news stories materialize.

Wow! Talk about serendipity. I remember Senator Heinz, and what a tragic event that was. Your intuition was probably speaking to you. Coincidences are often not coincidences.

I performed all over PA! I can never recall all the names of the theaters but I know I performed in Harrisburg in a performing arts center in about the late 90s. We may have been featured in the entertainment section of your paper.

I love Pennsylvania. I call it my East Coast home. ♥️ 🏡

I really needed this today. Someone, another practitioner, was unnecessarily nasty to me. I really just want her to feel the way she made me feel. Instant karma is perfect.

Dear Charlotte,

My son is a mentalist and magician...such fun. It is a happy magical experience for everyone to see the wonder on faces. It makes life so much more uplifting. I love your shows and that tiger is wonderful, real or not. And you are right, words can cut deeper and have a more lasting effect than sword blows.

Quite the adventure! I had the reverse one–grew up on the East Coast and finally made to Washington and California from 2018 on. The show looks wild. Can't wait to watch the video. 1985 really was a great year, though maybe I'm saying that because of Back to the Future...

One of the things I thought interesting is that 007 movies always have a character like Leon Altemose.

Lol! 😂 So true Michael. Leon was worthy of that role! Too bad he wasn’t an actor. There’s a photo of him in the Philadelphia Inquirer with a black eye as he talks about fighting off the big union guys. I liked him a lot because he liked me and was always kind. You knew he lived on the edge of danger. ⚠️

First off, that is a marvelous picture of you at the start of this piece, Charlotte! It took me back to being twelve years old and crushing hard on Nani Darnell....

I had never connected "spell" with "gospel", though when I was growing up GOOD NEWS FOR MODERN MAN (the "modern" New Testament circa the 1960s, published in mass market paperback) had us kids finally connecting "Gospel" with "Good News". I never put it together with "Evangelion" before, though having watched the series I think creator Hideaki Anno must have chosen the word for its irony!

It's always great to read your stories of your life as a professional magician—the show sounds marvelous, all the bad luck aside! I had to laugh about your Grandma's storying you, because my Dad told the same story to me and my brothers when we were kids....

I'm sorry I never saw you when you were doing shows, mostly because my Army Brat's life means I traveled a lot, and I moved to New York City in 1980 to start a filmmaking career that didn't quite work out the way I hoped it would. OTOH, I'd always wanted to live in New York City, having seen so many movies about it growing up, and even during the early Eighties when it was just starting to get back on its feel I loved living there.

Thank you for sharing my post DR, and especially the time you took to write such nice words. I’m flattered.

We both have a lot in common because besides having mothers who talked about the downside of living in the snow, I too had a Good News Bible back when I was a teen in the early 70’s.

I have a girlfriend who her and her sister checked a book of spells out from their local library when they were teenagers. They took it home and set up their candle and followed instructions of incantations when a breeze came into the room and the fire from the candle flickered. They blew out the candle and took the book back. This showed me the power of real spells. So I too am pleasantly surprised and happy the good news Bible I once had means good spell.

Again thank you and have a magical day! ✨🤗✨
