Welcome to my blog! Ghosts, hauntings, the paranormal, and cemeteries hold great interest for me, and perfume does too! So, this blog will contain a lot of material about these topics, however, I'm interested in many other things and I'll discuss those as well. What I'd really like is that many of YOU will join in and share your interests, opinions, and, well, anything you'd like, with me... the stranger, the better!

Allan Kardec: Founder of Spiritism
In 1983, my husband and I visited the Cimitiere du Pere Lachaise in Paris. It is a magnificent place, and many famous persons are buried there, amongst them, Jim Morrison of The Doors (Mr. MoJo!), Oscar Wilde, Frederick Chopin, Marcel Proust, Simone Signoret, and the list goes on.
I had read about this fabulous cemetery in Smithsonian Magazine and I determined that I would visit the place one day. The tombs are mostly above ground, and they're works of art. As you walk the cemetery, traveling beneath the massive trees that shade the alleys, you have the feeling that you're in an enormous outdoor museum.
More than 400 cats live in the cemetery and they're fed daily by old Frenchwomen dressed in black who walk the grounds leaving food for the kitties in various places.
We arrived at Pere Lachaise late one afternoon, and after passing through the cemetery's iron entrance gates, I encountered a very big above-ground tomb that turned out to be the grave of Allan Kardec. I didn't know then who he was. The tomb featured a bust of Kardec's head, and it was surrounded by offerings of flowers and candles--a mountain of them! I thought, who the hell was this? I pulled out my camera and just as I was about to snap a picture, a very large woman with a baby carriage came running out of nowhere screaming at me, "Interdit! Interdit!" I don't speak French, but I got her message loud and clear: I was not to take a photo of the grave. Why the hell not? I didn't take the picture 'cause this mad Frenchwoman scared the shit out of me. I later found out who Allan Kardec was, and that his followers believe that if you take a photo of his grave you are "stealing" his soul.
As we stood by Kardec's grave and I hurriedly put away my camera, my husband told me to wait until the big Frenchwoman left, and then take the picture, but I didn't do it. I felt really isolated at that moment--I was in a foreign country where I couldn't understand the language and I just wanted to be home because if a fat woman had accosted me at a cemetery at home, I would of told her where to shove it and what's more, to go fuck herself! And, so, I didn't take a photo of Kardec's grave, but I never forgot his name.
Christmas 2011 brought me a surprise. I received, as a gift, The Spirits Book by Allan Kardec. It was given to me by a very, very special person who happens to have quite similar beliefs to mine regarding Spirits--they're REAL! I've just started to read the book and once I've finished it, I'll post a review on Goodreads (a damn good book site!).
If you're curious about Kardec, here's good info Allan Kardec - a brief biography.
Peace and Love!

Reiki
At this link you'll find a good overall description of What Is Reiki? I particularly like the following, which is from the description:
Their purpose is to help people realize that healing the spirit by consciously deciding to improve oneself is a necessary part of the Reiki healing experience. In order for the Reiki healing energies to have lasting results, the client must accept responsibility for her or his healing and take an active part in it. Therefore, the Usui system of Reiki is more than the use of the Reiki energy. It must also include an active commitment to improve oneself in order for it to be a complete system. The ideals are both guidelines for living a gracious life and virtues worthy of practice for their inherent value.
The secret art of inviting happiness
The miraculous medicine of all diseases
Just for today, do not anger
Do not worry and be filled with gratitude
Devote yourself to your work
Be kind to people
Every morning and evening, join your hands in prayer
Pray these words to your heart and chant these words with your mouth
Usui Reiki Treatment for the improvement of body and mind

Coast to Coast
Here I'll keep a list of Coast to Coast shows/guests that I found interesting.
Show of 12/22/2011--Guest first hour: James McCanney, Physicist
I'd love to be able to get a transcript of this guy's chat, but I'm not a member of Coast to Coast.
Dr. McCanney (bio here) was a very interesting guest. He discussed Comet Lovejoy that hit the Sun on, I think, December 15, 2011 and didn't disintegrate. It seems that NASA claims that (and I quote from McCanney's site): the [comet's] nucleus is only 600 feet across (about the size of two football fields)... this tiny nucleus covered, they say, with a dusting of snow (remember that of the five comets for which they have photos at close range NONE, yes, NONE, have shown any ice or snow or water of any kind either on the nucleus nor coming off of the nucleus!!!)... this come tail was so large that it dwarfed the image field of the C2 and C3 cameras onthe SOHO solar monitoring satellite... then you are expected to believe that the comet nucleus survived a passage, emerging on the other side of the Sun after plunging for hours through the multimillion degree solar atmosphere to emerge relative unscathed and began displaying a comet tail again!!!... I know I have a huge audience that is well educated, but imagine 95% of the public clueless and buying into this nonsense!
Dr. McCanney discussed hurricane forecasting and said that ...the two main figures over the past 20 years in the govenment supported positions of predicting hurricanes resigned this past week (week of 12/11/2011) and in a surprise announcement stated that they do not know how to predict hurricanes and that basically nothing they have done in those 20 years had any predictive value... I have for decades led the field in not only exposing this fraud but also providing the real explanation for what causes hurricanes... my coined phrase "you can't predict the weather if you do not know what causes the weather" may have finally found its mark. As I was able to understand this (and, anyone, please correct me if I've misunderstood), According to Dr. McCanney, electrial charges in Earth's ionosphere are what cause weather events, and these are what should be observed, studied, etc., in order to accurately forecast hurricanes. Planetary alignments apparently also play a role in this.
