Diary of The Journal Keeper
A new discovery that I ask you to
think about…
Entry Number Four
Dear Friend,
If you read “How This Journey Began” (found
in the Diary of The Journal Keeper section
of this site) you know that upon my first printing of the
antique glass plate negatives from 1829 - no faeries appeared
at all originally on any of the images. It wasn’t until
one of the prints accidentally was struck by moonlight - that
the black & white image began to transform (with beautiful
color) as the faerie slowly faded up onto the parchment. Astonished
by this, I quickly ran all the images through the moonlight!
Watching the faeries magically appear one by one was a life
altering experience…in that instant I knew that it was
all real. The “Unseen” world was calling to me
and I vowed my allegiance to their cause. Since I have been
lead down some mysterious (as well as frustrating) pathways.
At times I have found myself in what has felt like a dead
end only to be amazed by something completely unexpected.
This is exactly what happened and what I would like to share
with you…
Let me begin here; each glass plate was labeled with the
name of that faerie scrawled across it. (This was how I was
able to match the proper image with the text found in the
old Journal which had described each faerie by name.)
Twelve of the glass plates produced images that reacted with
the moon’s light, but I actually had found more than
12 plates. A total of 48 plates had been found and each had
been labeled (although some indecipherably). No matter how
many times I had tried printing these other plates and setting
them in the moons light, there was never any reaction. I had
a number of different theories as to why this was happening
and had experimented all different ways… but honestly,
nothing seemed to work and I had run out of ideas. I knew
the moons light affected them but I felt that perhaps there
was some other missing component that I just didn’t
understand yet.
So I decided to take the prints and leave them outside so
as to give them every opportunity to change. Twenty one days
had passed and nothing had changed. Then just 3 weeks ago
I noticed one of the images had slightly changed. Exactly
how or why I don’t know, but a purple hue had overtaken
the blue black of the print. (The photo was of an old castle
or tower of some sort.) The plate had been labeled “Faerica.”
I remembered Faerica had been mentioned in the old journal
so I looked up to find out who she was. She was known as the
“Ruler of Peace.” She had inspired great leaders
throughout our history to choose peaceful solutions. Sometime
she was successful in her missions of peace and other times
not. She traveled across our land and swept her mighty wings
over the earth where battles had been fought and human life
had been brutally ended. She absorbed the pain and transformed
the land back to its natural state of harmony.
The Journal quotes her to say, “…I weep
for the unconscious loss of life in your history over the
need for power, greed, fear & revenge. Man’s choice
to assume one human life is more important that another is
one of the greatest challenges in you evolutionary process.
Don’t be fooled by the flag of fear that is waved before
you…make a choice for peace. Violence by its very nature
will never create peace. I seek to inspire the “peaceful
ruler” and ask you to make choices that returns “Love”
as your supreme ruler.”
It has been 21 days and each day more of Faerica’s
beautiful image has been revealed …some how I believe
this time it is not the moonlight that brings this faerie
forth but the light of humanity…those who yearn for
peace, yearn to end the violence and believe in a vision of
a better world. I believe this and if you do as well, call
upon her to inspire the “Peaceful Rulers” of our
world and the one which lies within …
