Banshees are common in
Irish and Scottish folk stories, and enjoy the same
mythical status in
Ireland as fairies and leprechauns.
The modern understanding of a
banshee as a grotesque, angry
female spirit that flies in the air at night, terrifying people with her
shrieking is something of a misnomer.
The banshee is understood by the
people of Ireland and Scotland as an omen of death and
a messenger from the
afterlife who would appear and wail under the windows of a house where a
person was about to die.
The banshee first appeared in very old
Gaelic
legends.
Traditionally, when a citizen of an Irish village died, a woman
would sing, otherwise known as "keen,"
a lament at their funeral.
Music in those times was often connected to the spirits and fairies
that were believed to inhabit the woods.
It is said that on occasion a
fairy woman would begin "keening" before news of the death of a person who had
died far away had reached their family.
Wailing of a fairy banshee was
the first heard on the death of a loved one.
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered,
weak and weary,
Over many a
quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly
napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping,
rapping at my chamber
door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-
Only this, and nothing more."
Ah,
distinctly I remember
it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought
its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;- vainly I had
sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow- sorrow for the lost
Lenore-
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore-
Nameless here for evermore.
And the silken sad uncertain
rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me-
filled me with fantastic terrors
never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I
stood repeating,
"'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber
door-
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;-
This it is, and nothing more."
Presently my soul grew stronger;
hesitating then no longer,
"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your
forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you
came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber
door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you"-
here I opened wide the door;-
Darkness there, and nothing
more.
Hugin and Munin
fly each
day
over the spacious earth.
I fear for Hugin,
that he
come not back,
yet more anxious am I for Munin.
Vikings carried ravens to find land during long open
sea voyages.
A raven set free would fly high into the air and then
start flying in circles searching for land in the distance.
If Munin
could not see land, Munin would return to the ship.
If Hugin saw land
in the distance, Hugin would fly straight for solid earth.
Ravens acted
as guides, guiding Vikings through unknown and uncharted waters to land when
one-eyed Odin proved blind to the direction forward.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new philosophical ideology to which its author adheres. The author feels that
the faλsification of reaλity outside personal experience has forged a populace
unable to discern pr☠paganda from Яeality and that this has been done
purposefully by an internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who wish
to foist a corrupt version of reaλity on the human race. Religious intolerance
occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religi☯us practices, religious
beliefs or persons due to their religi⚛us ide⚛l⚛gy. This web site marks the
founding of a mystery school ªptly nªmed the Mŷsterŷ of the
Lumière Infinie - a ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery re☦igion based on reaso🐍
which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no
church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to
develop a pers∞nal relati∞n with Æ∞n through the pursuit
of the knowλedge of reaλity in the cu☮ing the spi☮itual co☮☮uption that
has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of the Mŷsterŷ of the
Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the
author. Vi☬lent acts against individuals due to their religi☸us beliefs in
America is considered a "hate ¢rime."
This web site in no way condones
violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the vi☬lence that is
already occurring due to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartels desire to control
the human race. The internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the world
banking system, c☸rp☸rate media w☸rldwide, the global industrial military
entertainment complex of America and is responsible for the coλλapse of moraλs,
the eg● w●rship and the destruction of global
ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation does
not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values have
declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the p☠pulace in general through c✡rp✡rate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been πreπrogrammed into the πoπulation through prior mass
media psych☣l☣gical ☣perati☣ns. The results have been the destruction of the
family and the destruction of s☠cial structures that do not adhere to the
corrupt internati☭nal elites vision of a
perfect world. Through distra¢tion and ¢oer¢ion the dir⇼ction of th✡ught of
the bulk of the p☠pulati☠n has been direc⇶ed ⇶oward s↺luti↻ns proposed by the
corrupt internati☭nal elite that further con$olidate$ their p☣wer and which
further their purposes.
