The Other People<\/B>
<\/p>\n
By now young Thomas was a big “Indiana Jones” fan and wanted to be an archaeologist. He wanted to discover ancient cultures. He wanted to find treasures. His father continuously took him and his siblings on trips all over the American Southwest, down into Mexico, visiting ancient temples, ruins, cliff dwellings, pueblos, and sacred sites. He emerged himself into understanding what these various peoples believed and the magic they practiced. At an early age, young Sir Thomas discovered that his mother was a palmist and a tarot card reader. He was lucky that she taught him the basics of palmistry and tarot reading. He was lucky to have an older brother to teach him stage magic. He was lucky to have a kindly parish priest who guided him on spirituality issues. He continued with his Catholic studies and exploring the sciences in school. In his free time he explored the mysteries of the unknown and he delved deeper into the occult. He practiced some Egyptian Mysteries based on scripts and spells he found in Archaeologist E.A. Wallis Budge’s Egyptian Book of the Dead. He got his hands on Margaret Murray’s “The Witch Cult of Western Europe”. He began to worship Isis and Osiris, attracted to them from his interests in Egyptology. He began to question if his imaginary friend “Po Po the Elf” was really a figment of his imagination. So he started to look into the scientific explanations for “imaginary friends” and “ghosts”. He played with the ouija board in the graveyards with friends, held seances, and played with the tarot cards.

As he analyzed the bible, his question to his priest the year earlier haunted him … (Genesis 1:26) (Elohim) “Let us make humanity in our own image, in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild beasts and all the reptiles that crawl upon the earth.”<\/I> This “Elohim” was a plural word, and included both male and female, meaning it meant “Gods” or “Pantheon”. (1: 27) The Gods created humanity in the image of themselves, In the image of the Gods they created them, Male and female they created them.<\/I> This of course led to further investigation into the ancient Gods and Goddesses of Egypt for him. He wanted the truth. Then he pondered the Genesis references to “The Other People”, those already living outside of the Garden of Eden. Who were they? Children birthed by the Other Gods? The people that Adam and Eve would be banished to when they ate of the fruit of the tree? Who were these heathens?

The research began. He remembered growning up with Brian Froud’s “Faeries” book. It was here he began to learn about “Faeries” and “Tir na Nog”. It was here he learned that the Celtic peoples believed in wee folk that were “Other People”. Could these “Other People” be the “Faerie folk”? he pondered. An Irish Catholic explained to him about the fae …. he basically said “One day, God and Lucifer were having an argument. They got so heated at each other that God fired Lucifer and sent him out of gates of Heaven. Soon, all the other angels were following. Peter quickly stood up and said … Boss, we have to close the gates now or we’re going to lose all our staff. So God immediately closed the gates. Those who left with Lucifer immediately, fell to the bowels and fierie realms beneath the Earth and became the Devils and Demons of the world. Those who fell in the sea, became the mermaids, mermen, and selchies; and those who fell in the fields became the pixies, brownies, and sprites; while those who fell in the caves and caverns, tree trunks, and holes in the earth became the gnomes, dwarves, golems, and giants; and those who fell in the woods became the elves, dryads, nymphs, and forest faeries; and those in the sky became the Pegasus, pixies, and celestial faeries with wings. All those between Heaven and Hell are the Faerie races. They are too good to enter Hell, and too mischievious to enter Heaven.” For a long time, this was the theory about faeries that Sir Thomas believed. It worked well with his Catholic studies. They must have been “The Other People”. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
