Answers...

Aye, I'm a day late posting to our Blog. We are managing to wade through the mail that piled up and Dream Teller has answered some of those.

To Royce in Maryland: While I appreciate your enthusiasm regarding the membership drive we launched, I can no' guarantee you a particular level. All depends upon the criteria spelled out in the application. Your skills sound impressive but remain to be seen. Complete the entire application, return it, and it will be judged accordingly. Blessed May You Be.

To Cheyanne in Wyoming: Aye, Garth is truly a Vampyre. If you care to go back through our archives you will learn much about him. You can also read a couple of his posts. He is nothing like the fictional characters one reads about or sees in movies. If you met him face to face you would have no idea that he is 'different' from other men, other than the fact that he is taller than most. He has a wonderful sense of humor but make no mistake, he is no' one to abide foolishness. Blessed May You Be.

To Greta in Louisiana: 'Tis no' as difficult as you would think for Humans and other Kinds to establish relationships. Granted, it requires a great deal of effort and the ability to accept the differences, one to the other but in doing so things progress much the same as ordinary relationships. Are there drawbacks to mixed-Kind relationships? Certainly, for some. But those relationships rarely come about spur of the moment, and the parties involved usually go in with eyes wide open. Too, each of them is a special individual with special abilities. The Human partner generally posseses some sort of extraordinary ability which is what draws another Kind to them in the first place. However, there are some who do no possess those abilities or those are latent and are eventually discovered. Be that as it may, 'tis no a relationship for the faint of heart for many things must be considered that are out of the norm, so to speak. Welcome to our Blog and Blessed May You Be.

To Danielle in Washington: To obtain an application one merely has to e-mail one's request and it will be sent you. Blessed May You Be.

To Trace in Idaho: Aye, Crystals , Gems, and Stones are indeed powerful channeling tools and talismans. Throughout history those have been used by different cultures that have utilized the powr within. Those are used in myriad ways and for many purposes. Their power and potential , when used in accordance with divine law, have no equal. Working with them is a true art; an art that requires the ability to tune into them by neutralizing the mind and developing sensitivity beyond the ordinary. The crystal can become like a mirror reflecting light into one's consciousness to achieve many things; inner peace, source of truth, and so on. They are most notably used for healing purposes and raising the higher consciousness. They are wonderfully powerful purifiers and energizers. Thus the reason many wear them as jewelry or place them in stragic places about their home. But take heed, for they must be cared for; cleansed, and re-energized. Ther are many types, too numerous to mention but in the near future I will begin to to name them and their possible uses. Blessed May You Be.

To Rochelle in Arkansas: One does no' merely become a shape-shifter, dear. Whomever he is, I assure you he is feeding you a line. Well may he be of American Indian blood but shape-shifting does no' just come with the pedigree. From what you have told me he sounds like a wanna-be, out to impress or frighten you, whichever the case may be. I would take care for when one goes to such extremes as he, he may well be mentally unbalanced. Blessed May You Be.

To Craig in Scotland: Aye, and 'tis often heard late on the moors. Some call it the Banshee's Wail. There are many tales concerning the Banshee but in truth 'tis the wail associated with the death of a dear one and no' of some creature out to wreak death upon whomever is out and about. Too, 'tis also the sound of the wailing winds the area is noted for and one must have heard both in order to know the difference. My guess is what you heard is the wind but... whoever knows, hmm? Blessed May You Be.

To Dana in Texas: I know I have said many times that I was close to publishing my novels but so many things have set the date back, time and again. Per force, writing and publishing runs a distant second to what needs my attention at the Lair. And thus, I will only say I hope to get around to completing the finishing touches in the near future. Thank you for asking. Blessed May You Be.

To Tom L. in Hawaii: What was sent you is known among those who practice the Black Arts as the Chain Curse. 'Tis used to curse disobedient demons who refuse to follow the conjurer's orders. The conjurer threatens the disobedient with the power of the demon's superiors. 'Tis my belief that someone attempted to use demonic force against you and when the conjuration failed the Chain Curse was used. Why it was sent you? To frighten you. The conjuration is in and of itself frightening but can no' harm you merely by being mailed to you. My question is this; whom do you know who would go to such lengths to harm you? The calling up of demons is a nasty business and given the use of the Chain Curse I have to think whomever is making such attempts knows a great deal, or knows someone who does, about such things. 'Tis no' something just plucked from a book or the air, for that Curse is no' easily found. Beware whom you call friend. Blessed May You Be.

To Lexa in Tennessee: The Lemegeton and the Lesser Key of Soloman are one and the same. Divided into four parts, it controls the offices of all demons at the will of the operator. It deals with evoking all classes of demons and the opening Rites are those belonging to Lucifer, Bel, and Astaroth. You are correct to be concerned at finding such a book in the hands of one so young. 'Tis a dangerous prospect, that; even reading such even if she does nothing with it. I have to wonder where she got it and hopefully 'twas no stolen, for 'tis of grave concern if the latter is true. You must find out where she got it and if it wasloaned her, or stolen, return it post haste. Otherwise, burn it but be 100% positive it does no' belong to an individual. Blessed May You Be.

'Tis my hope that we will be able to get back to posting to our blob on a regular basis in the very near future. But I would remind all again that the nature of our business must always come first. Blessings upon all, Dream Teller.

Home again, Home again...

Bonjour mes amies,
'Tis been much going on here at the Lair; thus the long time since we've posted to our blog. As you all know many is the time we must fall silent in order to protect ourselves as well as those we seek to help. This past month we have all been out and about doing what must be done. Dream Teller has only recently returned to the Lair, along with Garth and Jessica; all of whom need much rest from their duties. The Warlock Gregory and the Sorceress JoHaunna are expected to return to their home within the next few days and, hopefully, the rest of our team will follow, each in their own time.

If you recall we were in the process of setting up the membership for the Lair. To date we have accepted 103 members and still we must sort through a mountain of applications. Know to that we have denied twice as many applicants for various reasons. Many of the visitors to the Blog are under the false assumption that the membership drive is for the purpose of starting a fan club. AS was said before, no' the case. Too, others have attempted to join for unsavory purposes, some of whom are agents of those who are our enemies. We are always on alert but on the occassion one of those types slips past our guard. 'Tis the nature of the beast and one we must always be prepared to deal with. We thank all of our visitors and members for their patience and understanding.

Given the nature of things this past month, once again we have extended the deadline for membership applications. Our goal is a membership made up of as near to equal numbers among the levels of membership as is possible. Each of those levels will operate under the guidance and direction of one or more of our team leaders. Thus, while we view the membership as a whole, each level can operate independantly for given purposes. If you think about it, you will understand why each level requires the ability to operate independant of the others. The highest level; those with working abilities and talents, have the capabilities to directly assist us in our duties. The lower levels will generally be in transition as the members choose to progress or, as with the lowest level, merely remain at that level for their own reasons. As you can see, the level system was set up to provide for the members particular needs and desires.

We have welcomed two new team members among us and soon, you will hear from each of them, as they introduce themselves and their particular talents. For the time being they are busy settling among us, getting to know each of us, and preparing to take on duties which will help lighten the load on the rest of us. No, they did no' come to us by way of the membership drive but through other channels. We are most pleased to have them and look forward to along and fruitful journey together.

We have so much e-mail backed up 'tis impossible to respond to all of it but know that we are reading each and every one of those. 'Twould be in your best interest to resubmit your questions if you do no' see an answer here in the next couple of weeks. Please, give it at least two weeks so an no' to compound the amount of mail we already have to wade through. We will be posting answers beginning tomorrow evening. Blessed May You Be and, again, thenks for your patience and continued visits, Kaithlin
