The New Spring Tide...

I was going to do a post about the Pow Wow season - which happens around now, around Spring.

The Pow Wow season, although those words are from Native American languages, goes on around the whole world because there are shamanic cultures spread everywhere.

All shaman know each other. And they all speak the same language.

Humphrey Bogart was a shaman. And when he played Sam Spade, he was showing his shamanic powers. Power, is energy into mechanical balance.

Power ebbs and flows - it is a re-current path. Decline and re-growth.

There is a certain power to fantasy that walks unrecognized in the waking world. 

I will do the post about 'Pow Wows' that I was going to, later on.

I don't think I personally have Native America blood although we did have an ancestral individual in America called 'Nancy' Ward and she is recorded as 'Nanyehi' Ward. The idea that there is a 'John Walker' connection, rather than 'Ward' - a point that some people raise - is due to the fact that all of us Scots/Irish Wards have the nickname 'John Walker' and we are known for literally doing a lot of walking. Marching backwards and forwards to Khartoum, for instance! The surname 'Ward' is also a coverall for 'other things' I must tell you. As I have said here before, I am the first male son in our family for centuries who hasn't been in any active service in the military. I have lived in hot war zones, though.

Although we believe we live in this 'modern' urban culture, with the latest technology and all kinds of 'civilized' ways that we claim to have, the reality is quite another thing.

You can go into any major city these days and witness the night culture, the street people, those without formal dwellings, predators, victims, the vulnerable. 

Money gets victimized and murdered too! Why are we just fixated on the simple murders of people when behind it all, there are vastly more significant hidden crimes that lead to the more obvious outward violence to life and limb.

When money dies, where does it go? Does it die and go to dollar heaven?

Can it return from the dead?

Can it be trapped, lying dormant in some basement somewhere... Awaiting the money detective to come and liberate it.

Darren Diamond never is as alive as when he spends his very own last hundred on a bottle of Bourbon and turns his mind to the problem that just walked into his office - the problem that spells 'where is the next hundred?' Not where is the next hundred coming from - it comes from wherever it is, Darren knows how to get it; he just needs to know where it literally is.

Up until very recently, governments around the world and their accountants and various other hanging-on parasites, killed off the cash and sucked the life out of everything that could make money.

Next month the interest rates go up. And everything starts to change. The rain is beginning to fall, and the waters will rise.
