Peter, if I felt this was just a spirit, I would agree with you. What I fear in this case is this arcanist is very physical and has found a way to prolong his life beyond its natural span. If this is the case, then physical means will be necessary in this situation. I have two practitioners coming,...

This is a very difficult question to answer for me right now, what with everything that's happening in my life. Today is Yule, the Winter Solstice, and I am spending it with my dad and others in my area that follow the same path I do. However, I cannot forget what has begun and the danger that may ...

Tms3, I appreciate that you are willing to come sooner than originally planned. Since my dad is here, I feel a lot safer than before, so at this point I don't think you need to change your plans. I don't know if he knows that one of my family participated in the raid on his property, but he probabl...

My dad just came back into the house, from his visit to the grounds of our farm. He also saw that strange figure at the farm next door, but only from a distance. It was outside that old farm house, just looking towards our farm. It stood there for several moments, then turned and went inside. My da...

Under the circumstances, I think we can understand your absence from the boards for a time. If it would not be out of place, I would be willing to light a candle for your friend's family and for your peace of mind, as well as his successful crossing to the other side. Be at peace, Dr. Thanatos, as ...

My dad just arrived! I am so happy that he will be here for Solstice! I haven't seen him in over a year now. He's been on the road for quite some time now and is planning on staying here for at least a month. He told me he's looking forward to meeting those of you who are coming down to help out an...

Tms3, actually, the land was sold to this person because he and one of my ancestors were friends and followed similar paths. According to the information I have the man was NOT a Druid, rather one who followed a path that had similarities in that it supposedly had a respect for life and nature. App...

Dr. Thanatos, please accept my deepest and sincerest condolences for the loss of your friend. I am so sorry that you are having to deal with this, on top of everything else. If I were not involved in a rather intense situation myself, I would offer to see if I could contact Rudy to see if I could h...

Mr. Caliburn, I certainly understand and respect your feelings about having Hannah anywhere near anything in the least dangerous. It's sort of how my dad feels about me doing anything dangerous. I think that's part of being a responsible parent. Perhaps, once this is over, she can come down for a s...

Mr. Caliburn did mention that he would be delivering my repaired firearms about the time we were to do this, I forgot about that. So hopefully we will have his assistance as well. That would be great. I'd like Hannah to show up to, but I think that depends on her schedule and if her father thinks s...

I don't know if my ancestor had information about ley lines, but you're welcome to look through his books and such. He was a Druid, according to my gran. There were others as well, but as far as I know he was the only one in our family in this country. Now, according to my gran, our Native American...

There is a "sacred space" on the property. Actually, there are two such places. One is outside, surrounded by Oak Trees and the other is in a small room off of the library/office space. That's where my personal altar is set up. I've used both for worship and meditation. I hope that both o...

My cook is excellent, and even knows how to make a killer colcannon, if you like that sort of thing. She's very fond of herbs and spices for cooking, and many of the ones she uses are grown in our herb garden. If you have any favorite foods, just let me know and I am sure we can supply those. Gotha...

Tms3, my herb garden is very extensive, so I already have a lot of garlic! LOL, along with many, many other herbs. But I thank you for the advice. I talked to my gran (her spirit) and she agrees that one can never have too much garlic. She's the one who suggested sage, and the other things I have d...

Garlic and wolf's bane have been planted along the fence line. I now have two folks coming in, after the Holy Days, to help me out. Gotham Witch and Tms3 have kindly offered their assistance. Mr. Caliburn is repairing some firearms for me, for which I am grateful. I've asked some of my friends to l...

Tms3, excellent. I can definitely provide travel expenses, and a place to stay. Yes, I still have his books and a rather extensive library on many topics as well. I think you will find that my cook is excellent also! I will plant garlic and wolf's bane tomorrow, thanks for the suggestion. My farmho...

Tms3, thank you so much for the offer and I will probably take you up on this. By the way, welcome to the boards. What I will need from you is information on any skills you have that may be useful to this investigation. You can reply here, or by PM. Once I know that, then I can get additional infor...

I too enjoy some folk and 60's rock...Cat Steven's and Bob Dylan are both pretty well represented in my catalogue. Cat Steven's especially. The loud gets my adrenaline flowing, which stirs my creative juices. I'm a writer. I like both Dylan and Stevens. I am also a writer, as well as a musician/sin...

Peter, I will add my welcome to Rowan's. She, and others welcomed me when I first joined in. Your music interests are rather . . . loud . . . to say the least. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy loud sometimes myself, but I'm more into folk, folk-rock, 60's rock, etc. About the closest I normally get to H...

Hannah, thank you so much for your reply. I will see what your dad says. He's already helping me with the repair of some of the guns my ancestors left to me. I don't know why this particular situation has me this shaken. Maybe because it's next door and is involved with my family's history. Gotham ...

I find myself in the odd position of needing assistance. The specifics, as far as I know them, are posted under "War Stories: The Farm Next Door". If there are any of you who would be willing to help with this, I can cover travel expenses and fees. I am a psychic sensitive with no combat ...

Sorry I haven't posted any updates on this. There really haven't been any . . . until today. I was outside, exercising one of my horses, when I heard strange sounds coming from the farm next door. My horse immediately started shying and trying to bolt away. I managed to calm her and dismount. As so...

For me, Dr. Thanatos, money is not a consideration. I am more fortunate than many of those who post here, in that regard. If you have specific questions for me, please feel free to either ask in this thread, or PM me, and I will answer to the best of my abilities. I don't mind that. My reason for p...
