Aliens, and a psychological profile...

Nerdrotic did a livestream this past week about another US congressional hearing on UFOs. And, as is becoming the routine, the entire affair was a big nothingburger.  Disappointment all around, and the public is still left in the dark not knowing anything about "them."  Yesterday morning, Vox Day remarked on a recent 2023 incident involving US and Canadian air forces shooting down a UFO.  We are left to presume that they likely recovered the craft.

"I’ve seen enough of the original Battlestar Galactica to know what that is. And that’s a Cylon fighter."  -Vox Day

Whomever they are, whether fey or fel, we know several things at this point that are concrete and true:

- There is a "they"
- Governments have known about them for a long time
- Governments have recovered the physical remains of these things
- People have been assassinated or had their lives ruined over this  

This doesn't seem like much.  Yes, we'd love to know who and what "they" are, the history and everything that comes with it.  But the government is being very bland in what they say about their UFO project.  Generalized truths are, at least, finally being openly proclaimed in hearings in the United States Congress.  And there are other truths and presumptions we can make, based on their own words; however, that is a conversation for later.  

For now, though, we can say that we've learned a whole lot more about our own government from this.  Washington's actions taught us a lot.  This entire situation builds a psychological profile of the United States feds and the international deep state that orbits it.  And so what do we have here?  We have a governmental power that is detached from the common citizen and doesn't represent them in any way.  We have a government that plays coy, and tongue-in-cheek---with a smirk---has lied for decades about another intelligence in our midst.  People have been killed, nudged into ruination, and driven into madness.  Lives have been wrecked.  All of this has not been done by "aliens," but our own people.

Given the lies from on high about recent plagues, presidential assassinations, sex trafficking, lawfare, weaponized immigration, the suppression of archaeological finds,  and evidence for faked official moon landings (see Bart Sibrel), we have to ask: what wouldn't they lie about?  For me, that is one of the biggest takeaways from this "disclosure" period.

As for the aliens, I don't think we'll get any kind of direct answers from the government about this.  Even if Washington did decide to be transparent on this matter, they've worked so hard to earn the distrust of the American people, I don't think the feds will ever be believed again.

Bovodar and the Bears Was Inspired By Vikings

Bodvar Bjarki in bear form fights in his last battle for King Hrólf.

Perhaps the following is an obscure fact for American audiences.  But Norwegians who've read Bovodar and the Bears instantly recognized the Norse themes woven throughout the story.  Most obvious to them is the very name of the protagonist: Bovodar Yarkery.  Perhaps to us Americans this sounds like I picked out a strange and contrived name.  However, a Norwegian native will instantly recognize the altered name of Bödvar Bjarki.  

"Who is Bödvar Bjarki," you ask?  This beloved figure is one of the main characters from The Saga of Hrólf Kraki.  This Old Norse tale is about the adventures of the legendary 5th century king, Hrólfr Kraki.  The character Bödvar Bjarki is one of Hrólfr's twelve great berserkers.  Many fantastic events and magical wonders transpire during this tale, involving treasure hunts, surprise attacks, trolls, other magical creatures, and a cleverly-disguised Odin.  As for Bödvar Bjarki, he had the power to shapeshift into a bear.  In fact, his name actually translates to "warlike little bear."  At one point in The Saga, Bödvar's body is actually asleep, while his spirit takes on the form of a bear who fights for Hrólfr against an army of fierce warriors, criminals, elves, and norns---all who were formerly hidden and empowered by the witchcraft of the half-elf, Skuld.  

With all of this talk about bears, berserkers, treasure hunting, magic, shapeshifting, and high adventure, it shouldn't be too hard now to understand what part of the world a lot of B&B's inspiration draws from.  And while it may be true that a lot of the geography and landscape of B&B borrows from the lands of the Western Hemisphere, it is clear that the characters and the story draws a lot of inspiration from the Old Norse legends and fairy tales of old.

The Curious Case of UFOlogist Dr. Steven Greer

I've been trying to take my mind off of mainstream news for the past month.  Instead, I've been putting my mind more into escapist pursuits.  One particular topic that's always had my attention is the UFO topic.  I very much enjoy watching documentaries about aliens and the UFO craze.  I suppose it's been this way all my life.  I started off watching this topic being covered on Unsolved Mysteries back in the 1980s, and then in the 1990s, I remember watching discussions about alien abductions on the show Sightings.  I also can distinctly remember watching reruns of In Search Of, featuring Leonard Nimoy in the late 90s.  I think it was shown on the A&E channel.  

Funnily enough, I haven't watched the Ancient Aliens series.  I think at some point I got burned out on the topic once it became more mainstream.  But also, I had already read and thought about a lot of that show's content, and so it seemed like old news to me.  I never really bought in to the whole Nibiru speculation.  My opinion about the nature of these "alien visitations" is more along the lines of this article, actually.  I truly feel that the (largely) American phenomenon of UFO sightings is actually the very same phenomenon of medieval fairy sightings that much of Europe has as its tradition.  In fact, I'm very comfortable with the idea that these visitors are actually a third kind of angelic species that is different from Heaven-angels and demons.  I am, of course, referring to the ancient lore of how Watcher angels intermingled with humans, taught them many things, and even interbred with them---the stuff you read about in Genesis and the Book of Enoch.  

So, for me, aliens are synonymous with angels or even fairies.  And so with these considerations, I've also been listening to the Scary Fairy Godmother podcasts this past winter.  And man, are they chilling.  If you want to have a hard time getting to sleep, listen to one of these narrations before bed, alone, in a dark room.  Or perhaps even alone on a drive through the night.  My favorite one is the episode about the green light fairy.  

Enter Dr. Steven Greer

I love this guy.  I don't think that 100% of what he says is true, but I feel that a lot of it is.  And even if some of what he's saying is wrong and contains fallacies, it's just fun to suspend disbelief for a while and hear his enthusiastic talks about UFOs.  His two most entertaining documentaries are Unacknowledged and Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind.  Very slick productions, they are extremely easy to watch if you have the time.  

Unacknowledged discusses how the U.S. federal government and other powers that be have worked hard to make sure that the everyday man has no idea of what's going on with what pseudo corporate-gov forces are doing with UFO sightings and captured alien craft.  And, you know, I must say that I truly do believe that there is some sort of a shadow group out there that's beyond the power of the feds, and I think they're doing something with these entities.  If you watch the documentary Mirage Men, I think you will also be convinced that the feds are working to conceal information about this matter from the general public, based on the meticulous gaslighting campaigns they've orchestrated in the past.  There's also plenty of testimony at this point (for example THIS) from military men who've had up-close-and-personal experiences with these craft.  And let's not forget that there's been plenty of reports of how, when testing the launch of nuclear weapons, there always seems to be an "alien craft" nearby---and that these entities even will nullify the nuclear weapon so that it becomes harmless, frustrating the human operators on the ground.  

Unacknowledged becomes even more interesting towards it's conclusion, when Greer starts discussing the idea that these dark corporate-gov powers are planning to initiate some kind of a grand false flag to trick the entire world.  This makes sense to me, given that we now have a Space Force.  Greer goes on to tell us that American parties have duplicated the technology of these entities, and that many times when people spot a UFO in the sky, it's actually "one of ours."  And so, these different man-made UFO craft will be utilized to fake a worldwide attack that will be blamed on space aliens from another solar system.  It's all very fascinating to speculate.

The documentary, Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind, is even more wild and fascinating, but I buy into some of that as well.  By this documentary, Greer has concluded that these entities are utilizing telepathy and other psychic/telekinetic power to materialize in and out of our atmosphere.  This same mind power is utilized to change the shape of their craft or even appear out of thin air.  This also makes sense, given the many testimonies of how, during alien close encounters, the entities do not move their mouths when there is communication, and how they seem to float, rather than walk, or that they can seemingly move through walls.  And in the context of the notion these entities are fairies/fey folk/watcher angels, it all seems consistent to me.  

Another thing put forward in Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind is the idea that Greer and his team are able to actually summon these entities through meditation.  The documentary has some wild footage of UFOs, and I can't decide if I'm seeing something authentic or computer generated.  But it sure is fun to watch.  And then there's about three highly speculative photos of purported aliens materializing in or near the group who's trying to channel these beings.  They look a bit weird, but I can't imagine these photos being fakes.  Were Greer and his people to make fake photos of aliens, they'd probably look better than this.

Sounds Like Things John Dee Would Do

I definitely believe that Greer and his team are able to channel these entities.  But I do not think this because Greer and his people have latched on to the special psychic key that unlocks interstellar technology and communication with intergalactic, highly-evolved extraterrestrials.  No, I do not think this.  But when taken in the context that these entities are the very same people as the Fey Folk, the Watchers, the "powers of the air," then I most certainly think that "summoning" makes sense.  In that context, what Greer is accomplishing is no different from the same thing performed by John Dee during Elizabethan England.  John Dee wanted to communicate with angels, and so he used techniques he borrowed from the Jewish Cabala.  I once read E. Michael Jones discuss Dee's efforts as an attempt to improve "the technology" of his era. 

Dee was most probably sent abroad to learn Cabala because both Dee and Cecil considered Cabala the cutting edge of the new science and the new intelligence technology. 

[...] 

Dee promoted imperialism, magic, usury, and the occult science as state of the art intelligence technology. "Dee is certainly following Agrippa's outline in the De occulta philosophia and that was a work founded on Renaissance Magic and Cabala. Also he hints in the Preface at higher secrets which he is not here revealing, probably the secrets of the angel-magic." 

[...] 

In an age when the King of Spain, England's archenemy, owned the gold mines of the new world, all of this had political and military implications, which is most certainly why Dee went to the continent to learn Talmudic technology and most probably why he went there as Cecil's agent. There is an obvious connection between magic and prayer: the former is a parody of the latter with supplication replaced by command.

[...]

The Steganographia brought together two of Dee's interests: angels and what later came to be known as encryption technology. In Steganographia, Trithemius proposed using angels as God did, as messengers. Trithemius's encryption system was simple. Volumes I and II of the Steganographia gave long lists of angel names, along with details on the powers of each, followed by conjurations to call them into service. Once an angel-Padiel, for example-appeared, Trithemius would hand over the message; Padiel would take it to the recipient, who would then mutter another incantation, whereupon the original message would be revealed. It was the occult version of the Western Union telegram, except the messengers were angels, and the master of this encryption technology was, if successful, indistinguishable from God. Woolley claims the Steganographia is "primarily a work of cryptography, not magic.' .... But neither Dee nor Trithemius distinguishes between the two disciplines. Books I and II "were full of ciphers, for which Europe's political tensions had produced a growing demand." But if angels could spare the spy operations the trouble of encryption, so much the better. In the 16th Century, information traveled at the speed of a horse-unless, of course, angels carried it.

- from E. Michael Jones' The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit, Chapter 10: John Dee and the Magical Transformation of England

It sounds to me as though the entire enterprise of corporate-government forces trying to tinker with the affairs of these "space aliens" and, perhaps, even reverse-engineer whatever they may have is strikingly similar to what John Dee attempted to achieve back in the 1580s.  John Dee actually succeeded when he tried to contact what he thought were angels.  Something responded to him, though it could hardly be said that they were actually angels.  At best, he was dabbling with fey Watchers, but more likely he was consorting with demons.  Whichever the case, the entities ended up suggesting Dee share his wife with other men, they'd discuss the death dates of prominent rulers, and they had Dee going around in circles about how "God's language" is spoken, yet never revealing anything useful.

It furthermore makes sense that a "John Dee situation" is likely the same kind of relationship that the shadow government is engaged in with these entities we call aliens.  But perhaps for a greater understanding, consider the documentary UFO Secret - The Friendship Case - Extraordinary Case of Mass Alien Contact.  This documentary actually shows "aliens" in a different kind of light.  In this account, we travel to Italy, where a group of young men have an encounter with "aliens" who very much look like human beings.  These entities were actually capable of causing things to materialize out of thin air, such as crumpled up notes.  And they asked at one point for delivery of fruit and food.  The kinds of situations described in the Friendship Case documentary are more striking as hijinks and gags meant to toy with human beings.  It all hardly seems like the actions of an extraterrestrial presence trying to usher humanity into a Star Trek future, and more like the flirtatious joke of a fey peoples who have a line they refuse to cross when it comes to human affairs.  

It is a concept that I've only seen one man dare to approach, the eminent Dr. Jacques Vallée.

Returning to Dr. Greer       

Is the government obtaining anything useful from their commerce with these entities?  I suppose it's possible.  We've obtained material from the fey before.  We have the Fairy Flag of Dunvegen Castle, The Oldenburg Horn, and snippets of their music.  Perhaps the ingenuity of modern Americans truly has captured different craft from these fey folk in the hopes of reverse engineering them.  Besides, the idea of a craft used by higher beings is not new.  Consider the Vimāna of the ancient Hindu texts.  These legends of flying chariots involve powerful men flying around in the sky, warring with one another, and using powerful weapons against each other in Northern India.  It's all very fascinating.      

But when it comes to the phenomenon of our day---the UFO phenomenon---many people get caught up in the idea that we are dealing with the modern notion that these are alien creatures from another planet, another solar system, or even another galaxy.  People like Dr. Greer think that these entities have traversed the interstellar medium using a psychic kind of technology that allows them to seamlessly pass through space and time, across vast distances.  He looks at these entities as space aliens, like something from a science fiction series, and that they are a part of some kind of a galactic federation that we are not yet a part of.  

To me, Greer appears close-minded.  He, like most people, cannot escape the gravitational pull of the 20th and 21st Century's mania about space aliens.  His earth-bound mind is made even more apparent when he references things like string theory and quantum physics, which are highly debatable and likely flawed concepts.  He references trendy myths of our day, such as evolution and anthropogenic climate change, which is utterly preposterous.  He looks at "aliens" as an advanced civilization.  He wants to put together a rock concert to gin up enthusiasm for the declassification of UFO encounters.  When he considers the human race, he chuckles with disdain and disgust and puts us down---so it really comes off as though he's looking at "space aliens" as a group who can deliver mankind out of ignorance.  Greer is spot-on about the idea of these entities being able to travel inter-dimensionally.  But he slips up and shows his new age, leftist bias when he puts forward these kinds of absurd notions.  

Dr. Steven Greer comes off as a man who's "got this UFO thing figured out."  The slick production of his documentaries attest to this.  So when he gets together groups of people to have sessions that involve meditation to "summon" alien craft, it really comes off as if Greer is "in the know" when it comes to outer space peoples.  But in reality, I believe, Greer's actions are no different from that of John Dee's.  His meditation is merely a prayer to the fey, a submission to a higher power that's always been here, ready to fool him.  Greer thinks he's bypassing the dark corporate-gov powers when he chooses to communicate with UFOs directly.  But in reality, he's getting wrapped up in the same spiral as them and everyone before them.  

I think there is a reason why God told mankind not to dabble with necromancy and calling upon the spirits.  And it seems to me that the fey also have a line that they also are not allowed to cross.  Some sort of rule for them that we don't know about.  And when people like John Dee, Cabalists, our deep state, or even Dr. Greer ignore that line and try to glitch the matrix of the natural universe to find a way to cheat and toy with reality like this, it can only end in disappointment.

The She-Deer

Bringing Bovodar and the Bears into the visual medium has its challenges.  For example, how shall we portray the Deer Queen and her minions?  Specifically, I'm wondering how the legs will be portrayed.  If the kneecaps are bent in a convex direction, then we no longer have anthropomorphic deer---instead we have deer people with human legs.  On the other hand, if we keep the Deer People 's kneecaps concave, it will be natural in the way a deer's legs ought to be, but how will they walk with such legs?

On the other hand, mythical fauns are portrayed in art without too much trouble.  So who knows?

But as long as I'm bringing up deer people, there actually is precedent for imagining a tribe of hostile she-deer.  I'm referring to the myth of the Deer Women, told by the American Indians in my part of the country.

From Infogalactic.com:
Deer Woman, sometimes known as Deer Lady, is a shape-shifting woman in Native American mythology, in and around Oklahoma, the Western United States and the Pacific Northwest. She allegedly appears at various times as an old woman, or as a young beautiful maiden, or as a deer. Some descriptions assign her a human female upper body and the lower body of a white-tailed deer.

In various folklores, the Deer Woman is described to sometimes be seen as a beautiful woman just off the trail or behind a bush, calling to men to come over. Deer Woman is often said to have all the features of a normal young woman, except her feet which are shaped like deer hooves and her brown deer's eyes. Men who are lured into her presence often notice too late that she is not a natural woman, and are then trapped by her magic to waste away until death.Other stories and traditions describe the sighting of Deer Woman as a sign of personal transformation or as a warning. Deer Woman is also said to be fond of dancing and will sometimes join a communal dance unnoticed, leaving only when the drum beating ceases. 
According to Ojibwe tradition, she can be banished through the use of tobacco and chant others say that you can break her spell by looking at her feet, which are in fact hooves. Once she is recognized for what she is, she runs away.

In local native lore, the Deer Woman is a seductive siren.  But in my story's universe, this tribe of she-deer are more like evil Xena Princess Warriors.  And while native lore has the Deer Woman as a half-woman-half-deer sort of nymph, my deer folk are all  animal.
