I have had a few e-mails recently asking how Matt & I met. Well, I did once put it on this blog but it was some while ago now, so may have been 'lost' somewhere in the blog.
So, for the benefit of any new readers, here it is once more.
(Warning: Its quite long)
Now as some of you know, my Mum and Gran were both mediums, neither worked 'professionally' for want of a better word, and both wished they could be 'normal'. Their abilities scared them, but I took an interest from a very early age.
It's no surprise then, that whenever there was a psychic fayre on in my area, I would be there.
One day in January 1996, I went to see my niece Julie. Whilst there one of her husbands friends arrived and said he had just heard on the radio that there was a clairvoyant evening on that night at a local pub. So, without needing to ask my niece, we had both decided we were going!
My husband at the time, was away on business in Holland and I had chosen to stay at home.
So, that night, off we went. It was quite crowded and we learned that 2 mediums were in another room doing private readings, we had to take a number and wait our turn. It looked like we were in for a long night.
As we sat drinking and talking, a lady walked in, mid 50's, I looked up at her and a voice said to me 'You have to talk to that woman'.....Ok I thought to myself, wonder why?
Anyway, she walked straight over to where my niece and I were sitting, looked me straight in the eye and asked if she could join us.
Poor woman, I almost threw her into the chair! (her name was Lesley Ann)
We got chatting about all things spiritual etc, and I told her that my Mum and Gran had both been mediums, but both hated having the ability. I told her that I had been to see lots of clairvoyants in the past.
She then asked me if I knew Andrew....I did. She then asked who did I know from Rochdale...Andrew!!!
She said that she 'got' things for people as she spoke and her husband thought she was mad, but she did what was called psychometry and asked for my diamond ring.
Now she went on to tell me all about my life like she had been M15 or something following me around!
She told me where my husband was, she got tulips and a ferry....(he was in Holland at the time).....she went on to say that I could do this and I should be doing it! Up until that point I had never tried it in my life....but what she said next left me speechless.
She said that, although I am married, I wouldn't always be with my husband (I sort of knew that) but she had this younger man, fair haired, fair skinned, who was my soul mate who we had been together in past lives several times and we had agreed to meet up again in this life as there was something we could do together that neither could do alone! In 3-4 years time, she said we would marry and emigrate.
Ok, right, I thought......well whoever he is, he'd better be good looking!!
My niece burst out laughing and said "Oh she'll love having a toyboy"..taking it all in her stride.
Now my niece was my sister's daughter, my sister Ellen died at 19 when Julie was just 2. She knew there was a afterlife, she had the gift herself but chose to block it off.
As she was leaving the pub, she said she wasn't going to come, but spirit told her that she had to speak to the 2 blonde ladies there, she knew it was us as soon as she walked in the room.
Anyway, 15 months passed by, things were not right with my husband and I, he cared more for the business and money than anything else, probably still does. Sad man.
One day, saw a psychic fayre on at another local pub, so I asked my close friend Pauline to come along. Now Pauline was a non believer wanting to believe! But Bless her, she came with me anyway.
As we walked into this local pub function room, a lady called Pat (one of the readers) looked up, and did a double take and looked again. I wondered why I have this affect on genuine mediums, but it always happens and still does today.
I knew to have a reading with her.
I sat down at her table and her first words were 'Are you involved with a younger man?"....
No, I wasn't, not at all! Not even an older man....so I explained that my husband was younger than me, did she mean him... she just laughed and said 'No, its not him, never mind you haven't met him yet but you will within 3 WEEKS!".....
"And" she said " You will leave your husband, you are doing that anyway, but you will be with this man within 3 weeks".....
I listened to the rest of what she had to say in a daze.
That night, I took another friend Pam back to the venue with me so she could have a reading with this Pat.
As we walked in the pub function room at 7Pm, I noticed 2 other readers had joined the venue, one being Matt. My first thought was 'Oh he is young to be a medium"....and as usual my Mum came through with "And how old do you have to be to be a medium?"..
Ok Mum, point taken.
My friend Pam sat with Pat having a reading and whilst I waited for her, Matt kept looking over at me, I had no idea why, he wasn't my type, I had forgotten about the prediction from 15 month ago and even forgotten about the prediction of that morning..besides, Matt was not my type, so I wasn't even thinking about it being him.
Eventually he offered me a free reading as I waited...'free, did I hear free..' lol
Yes I jumped at the chance.
As I sat down, facing this younger man, fair haired, fair skinned, ...he suddenly asked me who Alice was!
Now I knew my Mum was with me in the room, she was actually standing to my right as I sat with Matt at his table.
So I said, 'Thats my Mum"...he then said "She is talking about Stanley".....
"That's my Dad" I shouted....
He then said "your mum is talking about Mark'....
I asked if he was sure it was Mark and not my husbands name.
"Nope" he said "She definately said Mark"...
Wishing Scotty would beam me up at this point, I told him that Mark was my eldest son, and I asked what my Mum was saying about him..
I guessed what was coming next.
He said "She is saying, he doesn't look like his dad and she doesn't think he is his"....
Well, I was as red as a beetroot, this had been a private joke between my mum and I, as Mark was dark eyed and dark skin (like my fathers side I must add!) and I was blue eyed blonde.
Now at this point I had wanted to jump out of the chair and run...but my Mum hadn't finished yet, oh no, she was having fun...at my expense!
All of a sudden she said "Oh for God's sake, stop dilly dallying around and get on with it, you know you are going to end up with him" (she said a bit more than that but I think I will leave it at that).....
My mum was getting impatient, she wanted me with Matt and she wasn't going away till he had my number!
Matt then asked me for my phone number as he was doing a development group, he had told me that I was the one that should be sat at the table doing readings and why wasn't I??
3 weeks later, I had been out, and for some reason when I got back home, I always switched my mobile phone off. This particular day was no different, and I switched it off, but then heard a voice saying 'switch the phone back on again..now"....
Sometimes I have ignored spirit, each time I say, never again, but I still do...but this day I didn't...I went over to my phone and switched it back on again. Almost within minutes, someone said "Matt is going to ring you"...
"Ok" I thought. Then my phone rang....I walked over to the worktop to answer and said "Hello Matt"...
I dont know who was the most shocked, him or me!
We got chatting and he joined me at my niece's house that evening, as I had already planned to go.
I think we both realised from that point, we were meant to be together.
That was April 1997, here we are 10 years on.
You know what they say 'Mother knows best'
Yes, she sure did.
Just working on a way of her not revealing too many secrets to Matt though now......mind you, I thin he knows them all now!
We recently went to see Sue Nicholson off Sensing Murder, she did a live show, and guess who was first through...yes Alice, brought Stan, my Dad with her....thankfully she left the embarrassing bits out though that night!
Sue named them both and my Mum did her usual trick of having the audience laughing with her wicked sense of humour.
Sue was brilliant, we had seen Kelvin Cruickshank just 4 days before, both are excellent mediums....well worth seeing live if anyone gets the chance.
Kelvin is doing a Uk/Europe tour next year, Sue is from UK originally, so probably will also get to do a Uk tour at some point.
Both gave 100% accurate detailed messages to the audience.
Mediumship at its best.

More Salt On The Wound ....
The Sun Headline 'McCanns hit by new DNA claim
I'm reluctant to add this post to the blog at this time. The Sun should be ashamed of itself, choosing to run this purely speculative piece of journalism to coincide with the vigil which marks the 6 months since Maddy disappeared. It is really cruel to run with this story ... typical traits sadly of the someone somewhere who is in the background dealing with the media leaks on this story. It has become a sad reality with this situation in truth. It has become traditional I suppose so I must say ... 'bollocks' .... those Brits who will read this storyline around their breakfast table on 3rd November 2007 should reach over for the salt cellar and sprinkle its contents onto the page where this headline is written. I disregarded the claims when I first read it ... felt no concern ... sensed another cul-de-sac, another turn of the Sword of Damocles ... nothing more. It is as unfounded as all the other 'DNA claims' in my opinion.
Kristine has just made a valid point. Do you think IF it were true that the Police would permit this information to be plastered all over the newspapers AND Gerry McCann to be permitted to go back to work.
The newspaper report cited sources as saying that the latest results included evidence of the four-year-old’s DNA in the car and findings that bodily fluids detected in the vehicle came from a body. Friends of the McCanns have said that any traces of Madeleine’s DNA in the car can be explained by the fact that it was used to ferry her clothes and belongings to a new apartment, as well as transferring household waste such as her siblings’ used nappies..
But the newspaper said sources have indicated that the volume of material was too great for it to have been transferred from Madeleine’s toys or clothing. A source told the paper that all results had now been passed on. But a separate source told the Press Association: “Analysis is ongoing.”

Mediumship - A personal insight
When people think of 'Mediums' they will usually visualise people wearing long flowing gowns in a séance, sat round a table holding hands with the people they are doing a reading for.
The reality is a long way from this 'stereotyped' conception of a Medium. In truth a Medium is more often than not just an ordinary person who will usually have an everyday job and family ties.
A Medium, quite simply, is just a link between the mundane world and the other world (which is often termed as the Spirit World or the World of Spirit). Mediumship is basically 'meditation' between one level of awareness and another. It has been associated in recent decades with 'giving messages' from those who have left the mundane plane and journeyed over to the World of Spirit. However, mediumship is a popularised form of mediation - where mediation is the mechanism of channelling information or energy from other dimensions. Mediation is an essential component of alchemy and magic.
Everyone on this material plane has the faculties for mediumship. The 'working' Medium is simply an individual who has the advantage of these faculties activated. There are two clear types of Mediumship:
1. Physical Mediumship;
2. Mental Mediumship.
Physical Mediumship is the more painful of the two. It involves the medium actually taking on the conditions and mannerisms of the contactee. This is not a phenomenon to be dismissed lightly by sceptical mindedness.
Having experienced this myself a numerous times, I know it is a very real experience. As many genuine Physical Mediums will confirm, when a Physical Medium links with a contactee who suffered from a heart condition, or a brain tumour, or the like ... that condition is automatically transfered to the Medium. It is VERY painful. There are two explanations for this occurrence.
Firstly, everything on the earth plane is energy. It has a magnetic polarity. Even a physical condition conforms to this principle. Therefore when the sensitive Medium connects with a contactee who had a particularly strong physical condition ... the energy and vibration of that condition is transfered to the Medium. The Medium's thought form energy field will absorb the vibratory rate of that condition ... thus the Medium 'takes on the condition' until such time the contactee no longer links to the Medium.
Secondly, as I often sense the distress of the contactee who has linked with me at recollecting their experiences of the earthplane once more, I have come to the conclusion that the Physical Medium 'volunteers' to take on board the conditions. This enable the contactee to make the connection without any unnecessary reminders of the earth plane. If a condition was particularly painful it may well discourage the 'ex-human' from making a connection with the earth plane.
Consciousness will retain the memory of every vibration it has manifest on. Therefore when a consciousness links with the material plane, it will automatically remember all physical experiences on that plane including painful illnesses.
The sceptical minded is likely to be totally dismissive of this. Fair dinkum to them ... until they experience it for themselves. To be inexplicably struck down with a serious pain in the chest or an inability to speak or experiencing the state of mind of someone with a stroke. Then for it to disappear just as suddenly as it appeared; usually when the contactee has been recognised and the physical condition confirmed by the receiver. It is a phenomeon which cannot be scientifically explained but it DOES occur. The comfort to those receiving the information from these contacts is wonderful. Often the physical condition when explained provides the additional proof that the contactee was known to the receiver.
There is also the phenomenon of Physical Mediumship between the medium and someone still on the material plane. Often I will pick up on the conditions of those who have come to me for a consultation. The process here is more than likely to do with the vibratory rate of the physical condition being felt by the Physical Medium. However, there is one such example which I must share here ... it is profound and a perfect example of Physical Mediumship:
Many years ago I was approached by a lady who wanted something different for a Birthday present for her husband. I agreed to compile an Astrology Chart for her husband. My Astrology Charts were slightly different to the norm. I used to call them Astro-Psychological Charts as they dealt with the blue print of individuals. Anyway, I began compiling the chart for this gentleman. Not long into the process I began to develop a very painful left shoulder. I was unable to bend my left arm after a short time. This became a major concern to me. Also, and more embarrassingly, I soon discovered I'd been temporarily blighted with impotence! Very much out of character for me as Kristine will tell you.
Anyway, to cut a long story short. I finished the chart for this gentleman and Kristine delivered the chart to his wife for her to parcel it up for his birthday. In the course of conversation, Kristine mentioned to the lady about my painful left shoulder. The lady was totally amazed as her husband was due for further surgery on his left shoulder ... he'd been suffering from a long term injury of the left shoulder ... and he was having real problems bending his left arm!
Kristine then mentioned the impotence and the Lady merely smiled and told her that her husband suffered from impotence too! Needless to say once Kristine informed me of this .. the impotence disappeared and has never been back since!
The second type of Mediumship is Mental Mediumship which can be split into the three further categories of Clairvoyance, Clairaudience and Clairsentience. Clairvoyance is basically 'clear seeing'; Clairaudience is 'clear hearing' and Clairsentience is ''clear sensing'.
Mental Mediumship is effectively using psychic faculties to enable the communication between the two worlds.

Sorry for the apparent 'subterfuge' here. I've sensed the need for 'cover' with regard to a recent item of interest in recent times. I'm erring on caution in publishing the subject matter at this point in time.
'Insights on an unspecified image. RV investigations to uncover possible insights to provide a comprehension of unspecified matters.'
As a practitioner of Magick I have developed my awareness to be on the look out for recurring themes, for confirmations and for repetition in all the experiments I undertake. Over the years I have developed the eye for 'relevant repetition in symbolism' ... when the same symbol or the same message appears and reappears more than it can be attributed to pure circumstance ... it can only be marked down as 'of significance' ... what has occurred over recent transcripts can best be described as 'of significance'. I refer to of course the daily appearances of THE STAR with no prompting ... in the castings now it appears. Also, I refer to the occurrence of NINE STONES and its reference to it at the end of the trail. Always with distance between it and the 8th stone.,...This casting is of some significance with The Star appearing at the same time as the Ace of Fishes which depicts the young Salmon leaping out of the chalice cup. It links most surely too with the crescent shaped stone of deception which is stone #9 and also with the Fools Gold which is stone #4 between the Hermit and EIGHT of Fishes. Repetition is occurring most surely ... the same message is plain to see over and over again delivered by higher awareness.
The side line stories appearing in the news to keep the mystery afloat and in the public eye. The images on the cards appear to be fading now ..in the glare of the camera lens ... fading, fading away. As the focus of much more significant events begin to appear.
The central Hermit image ... the male seen to be travelling alone. Travelling light. Stone #3 provides the illusion of being held in the hand by the Hermit ... optical illusion and the way it has fallen hiding what the Hermit really holds in his hand. So the situation this relates to is perhaps the same. That which was sighted by the camera lens is obscuring the real reason perhaps? It is the means to an end ... to get to where it is needed to go under the cover of something else. The 10 of Fishes perhaps relates to the rekindlement of friendships to gain an increase ... the collection of knowledge perhaps to learn where the dishonesty is?
Some communication or meeting has been sought. Some ploy to gain intelligence? For more surely some contact or snippet of information appertaining to The Star is of great importance. The crescent stone above and behind the Star imagery ... suggests the moonbeams of the 'false trail' are being used to cloak what is known. There is something extremely positive appertaining to Maddy's plight behind it all ... hidden .. deep within a protective glaze. Stone #5 on the shoulder of the Hermit is Aventurine ... it is the 'luck stone' .... like a leprechaun it sits on the Hermit's shoulder ... this character is under protection and is safe. Away from the scrutiny of the media and the public ... things are totally different to how they are made to appear ....
The Priestess ... a.k.a the High Priestess ... not been seen for a while. Perhaps she is due to make another appearance. A key figure to appear once more in the mystery ... perhaps then it is possible to glean who she is in the weeks to come? Above the Hermit ... in the pecking order perhaps? To her left is the emergence of the young Salmon .. the left is the future ... for the Hermit to the left is the Star ... the same emergence of the same person just a different perspective and a different interaction with Maddy. To the right of the Hermit is the word 'excitement' ... the Hermit has had the need to suppress the excitement and keep all its emotions in check. The Priestess has the word 'generosity' in her immediate past .... two stones .. stones #1 & #2 between her and the word ... stone #2 is the stone of infidelity and unfaithfulness ... perhaps in her immediate past this is what has happened to her? Beside that stone is stone #1 ... a stone yellow/orange in appearance ... a sombre mood and butterfly's in the stomach ... something below the surface like a secret that keeps the Priestess loyal to a certain cause or tact. She has so much she could say perhaps to the Hermit ... but the feel of blackmail prevents her from revealing even the smallest of things for fear of rebuff?
Interesting again is the figure of the young child in the Star image .... the image standing between stones #8 & #9 .... between 8 & 9 ... something significant between January 6th 2008 and February 6th 2008 ?? Significant re-occurrence keeps the 8 & 9 surfacing ... my wish is for it to be so much sooner ... another 2-3 months is a long time ... timing is everything; the hardest thing to predict with total accuracy therefore the parameter has to be set with it is no later than between 8 & 9 for something of huge significance ... as is the way with higher connections ... it could be sooner than later ... fingers crossed.
Ethics & Values in Druidism
The first moral principle of the ancient Druids was a devotion to truth. In the Testament of Morann, a document traced to the period between the 7th and 9th centuries CE, but which seems to emerge out of the pre-Christian Druidic period, advice is given on how a prince should rule:
Let him magnify Truth, it will magnify him.
Let him strenghen Truth, it will strengthen him.
….Through the ruler's Truth massive mortalities are averted from men.
…Through the ruler's Truth all the land is fruitful and childbirth worthy.
Through the ruler's Truth there is abundance of tall corn.
St Patrick was said to have asked Oisin, the son of Fionn MacCumhall, what sustained his people before the advent of Christianity, to which he replied: “the truth that was in our hearts, and strength in our arms, and fulfilment in our tongues.” Myers concludes: ‘It is interesting that he should cite truth first, as though truth had an overriding place in the culture. This evidence leads me to believe that the first moral principle of Druidism is this: in a situation where a moral decision must be made, we should always choose truth, in the expansion and enrichment of human knowledge, in ourselves and others, and at all levels of our being.’
Druids may not have adhered to specific rules and authorities to determine proper ethical conduct. Instead there may have been a striving to become a certain kind of person, out of whom ethical behaviour naturally arises.
The old Brehon laws, which were recorded by Christian clerics in the 5th century CE, pre-dated Christianity and offer a fascinating insight into early Irish society. By studying these laws and seeing how they might be applicable to modern living, there are eleven principles or codes of conduct for the contemporary Druid:
1. Every action has a consequence that must be observed and you must be prepared to compensate for your actions if required.
2. All life is sacred and all are responsible for seeing that this standard is upheld.
3. You do still live in society and are bound by its rules.
4. Work with high standards.
5. Make an honest living.
6. Be a good host as well as a good guest.
7. Take care of yourself. (Health was held in high esteem amongst the Celts, so much that a person could be fined for being grossly overweight due to lack of care.)
8. Serve your community.
9. Maintain a healthy balance of the spiritual and mundane.
10. Uphold the Truth, starting with yourself.
11. Be sure in your convictions, particularly when judging or accusing someone, but also when debating. Ask yourself: are you really sure? Do you really know that this the case?
Little has been written about ethics in contemporary Druidism since most Druids are keen to avoid the problems caused by dictating a morality to others. So much suffering has resulted throughout history because one group of people have decided that it is good to do one thing and bad to do another. Just as most Druids have avoided dictating which type of theology someone should adopt, so too have they avoided telling each other, or the world, how to behave. Nevertheless, most Druids have a highly developed sense of ethical behaviour, which is usually implicit in their actions, rather than being explicitly stated by them.
A person can only act ethically if they hold to certain values, and by talking about these values we can avoid the pitfall of suggesting ethical guidelines which can then so easily turn into a dogma which condemns those who do not follow it.
Instead of imposing a code of conduct upon people, Druidry helps us become a certain kind of person, out of whom ethical behaviour naturally arises.
Druidry asks us, above all, to open ourselves to the inspiration and beauty of Nature and Art, through its love of creativity. By nourishing ourselves with contact with the natural world and with art of every kind, and by holding to the core beliefs of Druidism. (OBOD)
Defining 'Manifestation'
Manifestation refers to a concept of either recurring or transitive phenomena, as instances which become "manifest" or "realised."
Woman spots child who 'has the same eye defect as Madeleine' on the Moroccan coast
Detectives working for the four-year-old's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, were last night scouring a remote area in northern Morocco to find the child who, the witness said, was definitely missing Madeleine. The blonde child was seen by a woman who told detectives she even recognised the distinctive fleck in Madeleine's eye, where her pupil runs into her iris.Naoual Malhi, who alerted police about the sighting a month ago, said she had seen her with an older woman, who tried to hide the girl. Mrs Malhi, 24, said: "I knew the minute I saw her from close-up that it was Madeleine. I'd seen her picture a thousand times and the girl I saw was her. She had that distinctive right eye where her pupil runs into the iris."
Mrs Malhi, a Moroccan national living on the Costa del Sol with her own four-year-old daughter, was shopping in the coastal town of Fnideq in August when she spotted the blonde girl with a middle-aged woman. She said: "She caught our attention because she was so blonde and pretty. As we walked up to them the woman tried to hide the girl behind her and shield her face. She was dressed in jeans and an orange jumper. She was exactly the same as in the pictures except she had a bump like a bruise on the left side of her forehead and her hair was a lot shorter, like a boy's. The woman was around 40. I could tell from her face she was Berber. I didn't shout out 'Madeleine' or anything but I tried to get another look at her face as the woman tried to pull her away from my view."
Francisco Marco, the head of Metodo 3, the Barcelona-based investigation agency hired by the McCanns, believes Madeleine was stolen to order from the family's holiday villa in the Algarve. He said last night: "We have a six-month agreement with the McCanns. We have already spent a month-and-a-half working. I will find her before that period is up."
He said he was certain the McCanns had nothing to do with their daughter's disappearance. (Daily Mail)

5 of Crescents
3 of Crescents
The Star
The Star image makes itself known again at a key moment ... I am very reserved in jumping up and down with a sense this story relates to positive news. I have the salt pillar handy still especially with 66% of the imagery relating to images of the Moon. Therefore I sense these proportions relate to the news story above ... over 2/3rds of the story is perhaps false with 1/3 the truth ... typical chickenfeed in other words. I sense the 3 of Crescents indicates the 'birth' of more positive sightings ... in the ilk of this one ... as it appears someone somewhere has many of these reports at their disposal in a filing cabinet locked ... in a restricted area ... a coded sequence to access these reports on hard drive. A trail of many similar which could lead to the door where Maddy could have resided at one time. Yes, it was likely Maddy was sighted by this woman ... but, the trail is cold by now. I sense the wild goose trail epitomised by the 5 of Crescents ... it would be a disaster to buy into this story completely ... there is an element on old hat news here. Maddy is alive it is being designed to promote and advertise ... but her locality is elsewhere now to where this is reported. It is an action like a smokescreen still to hide ... the fact that the intelligence net is close to being shut tight with the prey deep inside captured. The prey is still perhaps none the wiser that they are observed ...
The one essence I can detect as chickenfeed is the insinuation some unknown violence has befallen her with the opening line of the original story in the paper and the reference to the bruise. More operant conditioning to breed fear ... to have our minds play tricks and work overtime ... that she is being abused. I believe this not to be the case ... the double whammy of crescents ... 8 in total ... make me err on caution at this time ...
The 3 of Crescents goes now against the flow and is the 'trial' to judge opinion to see how people can be swayed by the trail to come .... the trail I sense leads to the Shining Star for sure .... interestingly we have that combination again ... the number 8 (the 3 and the 5 added together) ... and the 9 (which is the 17 of the Star minus the number 8) ... the 8 and the 9 perhaps relate to the 8th and the 9th months once again .... the activity which I sense at that time which this trail is leading to perhaps?

The Music Of Language
When we speak or write, we use the vehicles of words to carry meaning, as well as energy, from ourselves to another person or group of people. We may be speaking to our baby, our boss, or to an audience of 500 people. We may be writing a love letter, a work-related memo, or an entry in our own diary. Whatever the case, each word we speak or write has a life of its own, a vibratory signature that creates waves in the same way that a note of music creates waves. And like musical notes, our words live in communities of other words and change in relation to the words that surround them. When we are conscious of the energy behind our words, we become capable of making beautiful music in the world. If we are unconscious of the power of words, we run the risk of creating a noisy disturbance.
Some of us know this instinctively, while others come to this understanding slowly. Most of us, though, speak without thinking at least some of the time, blurting out our feelings and thoughts without much regard for the words we choose to express them. When we remind ourselves that our words have an impact on the world at the level of energy, we may find within ourselves the desire to be more aware of our use of language.
A fun way to increase our sensitivity to the power of words is to simply make a list of our favorite words and notice the energy they contain. We can write them down and post them where we can see them, or we can speak them aloud, feeling them reverberate in our bodies and in the air around us. This is like learning to consciously play an instrument that we have been playing unconsciously for most of our lives, and the effect can be startling and delightful. As we grow more comfortable and confident playing the instrument of language, we will begin to compose beautiful messages, creating positive energy every time we write or speak.
'The Guide' Archetype
Guide (Guru, Sage, Crone, Wise Woman, Spiritual Master, Evangelist, Preacher)
The Guide takes the role of Teacher to a spiritual level, teaching not only the beliefs and practices that make up established religions, but also the overarching principle of seeing the Divine in every aspect of life. Clearly you do not have to be a professional Preacher or Guru to have this archetype, as we can all learn to lead others spiritually through developing our own intuitive spiritual awareness and passing on whatever we have learned with genuine humility.
To count this archetype as part of your support group, however, you will need to discern in your life a continuing pattern of devoting yourself to teaching others from your own spiritual insights.
This presupposes that you have gained wisdom through some combination of self-disciplined practice and study and perhaps spontaneous spiritual experiences. Wisdom also comes with age, and so the Crone or Wise Woman represents the ripening of natural insight and the acceptance of what is, allowing one to pass that wisdom on to others.
The shadow aspect of the Guide is visible in many modern televangelists and gurus of various traditions who are more interested in financial gain and controlling their followers than in imparting genuine spiritual insight.
Tree (nehet)
Several species of trees were considered sacred in Egyptian mythology. The names of all of them were written with the same hieroglyphic determinative. In Egyptian art, trees were usually depicted by this sign by simply being placed into the larger representational context. It was been suggested that the tree shown in the glyph is the Maerua crasifolia which is found in throughout Africa, tropical Arabia, and Palestine, but is disappearing from Egypt.Several types of trees appeared in Egyptian mythology. The sycamore was particularly important. Two of them, called the "sycamores of turquoise" stood at the eastern gate of heaven from which the sun emerged each morning. These sycamores were especially associated with the goddesses Nut, Hathor and Isis, each of whom were called "Lady of the Sycamore". Nut and Hathor were often shown to reach out from the tree to offer the deceased food and water. Sometimes the tree was anthropomorphized, having arms itself which offer the sustenance to the dead. In the example shown at right, the deceased is suckled by such a tree.
The ished tree, probably the Persea tree, had a particular solar meaning. It too was associated with the rising sun and it was protected from Apep by the great cat of
The willow tree was also sacred in
Other various species of trees were believed to be sacred to individual deities. For example, the tamarisk tree was sacred to Wepwawet, the acacia was sacred to Horus, and as mentioned earlier the sycamore was sacred to Re and the willow was sacred to Osiris.
The Path of Cheth
The 18th Path is the Path of Cheth is called the Intelligence of the House of Influence, by the greatness of who abundance the influx of good things on created beings is increased, and from its midst by investigation are drawn forth the arcana and hidden senses, which dwell in its shadow and which cling to it, from the cause of all causes.The focus of symbolism deepens when considering the path text for this path. The term 'house of influence' is adopted from the traditional language of Astrology, and refers to the aspect of the universe which a given power of capable of affecting. As the intelligence of the house of influence ... the path of Cheth can be seen as the interaction which marks out those different areas or aspects, a role that has obvious connections with the spheres this path connects to.
There are two sides to this role for this path. One as part of the way of creation and one as that of redemption. As a creative power the greatness of abundance increased the influx of good things on created beings. As a redemptive power the path leads straight to the secrets of the visionary practices of magick. The phrase 'hidden senses' come not from the path but from Kether itself and can be related to hidden meanings or allusions. By probing the secrets of limitations secrets and hidden meanings derived from the highest image of existence attainable by any level of self can be brought within reach of the conscious mind.
The Esoteric Title of this path is 'Lord of the Triumph of Light' and 'Child of the Power of the Waters' .. the latter links to the dominant role of water symbolism on the entire Pillar of Severity and because the path descends from Binah, the Great Sea. The Zodiac sign Cancer is linked to this path ... the crab symbolism relates to the combination of containment and power which is central to the meaning of this path.The Tarot image associated with this path is the Chariot ... its role in esoteric traditions being a long and complicated one. It is often seen as an image of self with the horse imagery ... the various drives and forces which must be harnessed and guided by the higher levels of self. Implied here is the Neshamah which is the Spiritual Self ... in its relationship with the will in Geburah. In the Chariot image it is the Neshamah which is the charioteer ... the conscious will is simply the vehicle through which the higher aspects of the self operate.
The letter associated with the 18th path is 'Cheth' which means fence or enclosure.This is also like the shell of the crab. The Charioteer has "led captivity captive," according to The Waite tarot. Speech is attributed in the sense that words "enclose" concepts. This refers to the right use of speech, as well as thought/words.The fence also contains the personality, differentiating it from the infinite Reality of Brahman, or Keter. The walled city is another fence.. The balanced, contained self leaves behind the seductions and confusion of the city. The river and trees in the background show a mix of The High Priestess and the Empress, watery fecundity, contained in a canal. The chariot is a moveable fence. Its cube shape is connected to The Emperor. The starry canopy refers to the influence of celestial bodies, and the astral plan

Madeleine's father returns to work six months after she disappeared
Gerry McCann returned to work today and vowed that the search for his daughter will continue. The consultant cardiologist is to work three half-days a week and will have no contact with patients at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester until senior colleagues believe he can cope fully.
He arrived at the hospital wearing a black suit and made a short statement to waiting reporters outside the building - nearly six months since his daughter vanished.
The 39-year-old took unpaid leave from his £75,000-a-year job to help in the hunt for his daughter.
On Saturday it will be six months since she disappeared from their Algarve holiday apartment and he believes the time is right for him to work again.
Mr McCann said: "We've always said that at six months we didn't want to say, 'We could have done this or we could have done that'. But now we feel we have done everything we can to get the search for Madeleine fully under way and have got the infrastructure that's necessary for that. As a result it now allows me to concentrate on returning to work while the search for her continues."
Mr McCann said his work colleagues "have been absolutely fantastic in their support from day one".
Doug Skehan, clinical director of the hospital's cardio-respiratory directorate, said: "My colleagues at Leicester's hospitals look forward to welcoming him back as he returns to work after a lengthy and difficult period of absence."
"In short, we're glad to have a good doctor back." (Daily Mail)
Within The Maelstrom
'Within The Maelstrom'SigilArt by Matthew James
Another sigil inspired by Daily Merlin Insight. This is based on tonight's crystal casting. It appears to indicate the mystery to be somehow perpetuated by way of it being caught in some 'whirlpool' or 'maelstrom' ... the path seems to indicate a twig or a branch being caught fast in the swirling eddys within a stream unable to make any headway due to the mechanics of the stream's currents.
Caught fast in some kind of 'spin' which ensures that Maddy's disappearance continues and her inevitable re-emergence is postponed.

Magick Journal II
It has become of greater importance to write and keep record of inner alchemy at this time.
Energies have been stirred, still, which affect the back of the neck and the base of the skull. It is not illness or virus. It is energies course up the spine and through the throat ... making their way every higher. In time this burden will ease. The pain at times is truly intense. But only smiles cross these lips. The headaches continue but fade almost as quickly as they arrive.
Eyes scan the skies and the roads ahead of talisman and totem 'er since the journey began to Tauranga over the Kaimai's three weeks past. There has been Heron and hovering Hawk ... the latter a number of times. Always there ... ensuring I pass under its piercing gaze.
Most recent tonight ... I happened to look out the living room window ... an hour or so after arriving home ... there in the branches was what appeared to be a young Kingfisher. It sat their waiting long enough for me to walk down to the basement to fetch camera. It permitted me to take pictures ... the totem can be seen above right. I think it is a Kingfisher.
A week or two before the journey over to Tauranga began. Indeed before I was even aware that I would be working over there ... we visited a Kiwi friend of ours, 'Susan' .... it was the day we'd purchased the camera. A replacement for the previous one which had a lens motor which had burned out. The day was bright and sunny.
Whilst at the front door at our friend's house ... I observed a large Red Admiral butterfly flitting around me. It landed on a plant beside me. I took great pleasure in taking a photograph of the totem ... wherever I may be ... whether it's here in New Zealand or in the Chalice Well Garden at Glastonbury ... wherever ... whenever I see the red Admiral Butterfly ... I know it is the indication that my archangel ... Gabriel is close by. Watching out for me. Changing things. Making it work out right. Here I am about five week on ... the transformation and new beginning is now here.
There have been presences galore around me in recent days. There is one make itself known to me right now. Immediately behind me I just know someone stands. I can see the movement without it being imagination. I can feel a presence ... the hairs on my arms are lifting. The spirit is curious and a friendly type. Quiet. Observing my energies ... aware I can connect ... but in no real need to communicate ... awareness can merge and pictures can be shared.
Information network and wisdom highway. Much like an internet scenario ... mind to mind linked into one bigger mind ... the server mind. Find the right vibration ... and all the information can be shared.
There is movement once again behind me. Someone catching my attention again like earlier. Apparently I've said more than enough. Laying a red school cap down on the table beside me as a means of recognition. A connection not for myself ... but for someone else? A boy lost who was frail in life ... with dark brown or black hair ... scratched black shoes on the day he was found ... I feel one shoe was missing never found. Close to a ditch. Head first ... at the bottom of a steep slope. Grey trousers and a red jumper ... freckles on his face? Born in 1962? Lost in the early 70's??? He appears to have had asthma ... nobody seems to know what came to pass with him. Strange scratches on his face and bruises on his neck not concurrent with the fall. Graham and Paul link with this person. It seems ... more will follow when I gain the confidence of this link.
A whispered 'excuse me' to my right ... someone realised Im not 'dead'. They assumed I was like them until they realised ... were told by another I was still on the earth.
I am so weary now ... so in need of a visualisation before bed time. The need for a relaxing sojourn ... to ground these rising energies once more ...

"Insights into the recent reported sightings in Morocco and indeed all the Moroccan reports in recent weeks. Are they significant or to be deemed a red herring?'
Don't despair, 6 months seems a long time at this moment in time for someone so young to be separated from family. What the McCanns must be going through must be absolute despair. Once the little girl has re-emerged and that severed link once more resumed ... the time parted from her family will seem such a short time when compared with the many years ahead they have together once more.
Crystal stone 8 the very last one on the bottom right is the interesting casting. It is the black secrets stone and it covers the face of the Giver of Staves. This is the hidden person who plays the hand of the Unicorn to end this situation. It may well be someone within the British Intelligence who is finally able to get his act into girl with the permission of higher echelons being granted to move in. A locality is most certainly being observed ... those observations shrouded in utmost secrecy at a locality that not even those with power who can influence the media will be able to say where it is. I'm partly dismissive of the Morocco sightings ... as there is an element that isn't feeling right ... but I am aware of the Chicken Feed scenario.
An old woman is moving to my right in such a way to get my attention. I believe her name might have been Gwen. Indeed it seems it may have been. Her left hip was awful bad because mine is really hurting me. She is not very tall, a titch over 5 foot but quite wide with broad shoulders she is telling me. She shakes her head when I ask if she is linked to the McCanns ... she folds her arms across her chest to prevent me making too much of a disclosure. Her intention here is for someone else to have her recognised. She has no been on the other side for all that long ... 3 to 5 years. She apparently went over with a man ... she or he collapsed and fell to the knees and were gone before their head touched the earth.
She comes to indicate this must not be a sad time. There is no need to anticipate the worst out of this situation. She has been aware of this plight from the other side. She's come in close to try to enforce the faith which is needed to disbelieve those who peddle the fear of the worst. She passes on the link that thw McCann's routine was analysed and observed. It never wavered or changed. There was those behind them that were aware of what might transpire. Pushing the sequence bringing it forward.
A male now from my left said clearly 'going back' ... a head nodding in agreement behind me when I ask if she is therefore alive. Those who hold her dare not harm her. Cannot touch her. Are under implicit instruction not to harm her in anyway. To ward her off danger. She is in a place, and has been in other places, that nobody would dream she has been. Not dank cellars but times below ground so briefly within ancient chambers and treasures. She's been to places with hidden chambers there to protect which link to others. Places to hide from time to time during moments of the greatest heat. The time she was made invisible was one such time. For she hid right under the noses or the feet of the Prime of Spheres ... she was kept safe in places they would not have expected her to be. As much as she has been taken and it is despairing for her family ... know the despair is minor with that if she had been taken by those who wished to hurt her and molest her. That would be so much worse for them. Those who hold her really could not have returned her at the time ... they had to conceal her to ensure she was safe .. she seems like a figurehead or an icon to a faith. A faith that was employed to conceal her.
This links to the User of Spheres and her journey from there after the first couple of months. She travelled close to the Prime of Spheres and the cause of it all. The four branches of the one force which sent the energy scuttling down the networks. Those at the top who have all the influence. Then there was a communication or contact or instruction around the 3rd month - the month July or thereabouts - her re-emergence came so close ... then August came and someone ambitious apparently undertook the tact we all have come to understand - the blood on the wall and the DNA - the 7 of Crescents depicts the attempt to make a dream a reality as someone somewhere was unrelenting with this operant conditioning. It appears planned ... staged ... created. The into around September and the 3 of Spheres ... the next 'spokesperson emerges ... instructed to say only what he is able to say an somehow avert attention away from the partially drawn curtain behind him.
Thus Morocco sightings have emerged ... like graffiti on a wall to be noticed ... works of art ... but hardly true depictions. I am wary to say the hills behind the Giver of Staves in the image are those in North Africa. I sense more they are the hills around the border of Portugal with Spain. The Maker of Spheres appears to have a thing about having 'possible appearances' of Maddy in photographs. There have been two ... one in early August which was the anomaly behind the car photograph ... and the most recent was the one of the girl on the back in Morocco. Clearly the Maker of Spheres has an input into the truth and the real locality of Maddy. The Maker of Spheres has an association with the deep rooted organisations within this material world. Old trees within the forest which have perhaps to make way for new saplings. There is a clearing out here ... the busy flight path of bees in the image indicates something is forming somewhere as the pace is quickening with regard to dirty linen.
The Fool in the centre of the image ... the white rose asks that we must trust for a little while longer than the re-emergence of Maddy safe .. has been planned and those plans are slowly moving into action ... we walk away bit by bit, day by day from the accidental death theories ... more and more to Maddy is indeed alive. I am wary to say it is the last we've heard of the DNA. My intuition detects a stability from now. Where the arrow points is where we stand in this trail. Between month 8 and month 9 of the duration of the mystery ... is where the interesting events unfold. There is an unknown persona in communication with the unknown who is holding the hand of the Unicorn. The spokesperson may or may not know either of these two people ... he is inexplicably linked and knows more than he is ever permitted to say.
One of the Old Dears ... one who was more than accustomed to being before an audience. She says it is no different now, though the audience may not be there for stall to the gods ... they still stand before you observing your presence on the stage. Accept. Adapt and be very aware of how correct the information is. She was gentle and compassionate and caring. Her aim was to aid the needy and the sick. Her presence behind is a comfort. This lady really is 100% certain Maddy is still very much on the material plane. Safe and well fed. Healthy though currently quite tired. A little weary perhaps because she may be lacking a little in Iron ... slightly anemic perhaps. Aware too of her mother's stress. Sensing the distress ...
'Sweetie, send out warmth and light to comfort that distress. Light yellow candles ... draw in the light and send it out with love.'
the 9 of Spheres .. and the 9 of Crescents ... two 'future' cards ... someone from within the sea of public emotion to emerge with arms held high to grab attention ... flash photographs ... a number of pictures which are perhaps that of Maddy .. are most surely Maddy ... flash photography taken through pine trees ... capturing images of Maddy close to a house ... within a house ... nearby to an ornamental lake it seems ... water anyway ... there seems a sense of 'sterile grey vinyl on the floor' ... for some reason ......

Smudge Sticks: For Cleansing, Clearing, and Ceremony
Many religious and spiritual traditions practice the burning of herbs for emotional, psychic, and spiritual purification. Using a smudge stick is part of many American Indian traditions. Smudging is a ritual way to cleanse a person, place or an object of negative energies, spirits or influences. You might want to smudge when:
1. You've been feeling depressed, angry, resentful.
2. You've had an argument with someone.
3. You're going to have a special ritual or ceremony.
4. As part of a general spiritual housecleaning.
5. To clear your crystals of any negative energy.
In Native societies the herbs used for smudging are considered sacred. Treat your smudge stick with respect, and be respectful about the act of smudging. It is particularly centering to have an intention in mind.For example, if you are feeling depressed visualise the smoke carrying away all your feelings of depression. If there was an argument imagine yourself and the person with whom you argued being at peace with each other.If you are clearing your crystals prior to programming them thank both them and the smudge stick for helping you to realise your goals.
In smudging your room/house you may want to affirm that your dwelling place is a temple for body/spirit.
Smudge sticks are most easily lit from a candle flame. (Matches generally go out before the stick is lit). Once there's a flame blow it out so that the smudge stick is smoldering, not burning. The idea is to get curls of smoke, not to set the smudge stick afire. (Special note: Don't smudge while infants, pregnant women, or people with respiratory diseases are in the room). If you're smudging objects, such as crystals, you can hold them in the smoke. If you're smudging a group of crystals you can fan the smoke over them.
In smudging a room walk about the perimeter, giving special attention to the corners and the places behind doors. I like to wave the smudge stick in a slow circle. You can also fan the smoke throughout the room with a large feather.
If you're smudging yourself fan the smoke so that it touches all parts of you. You may want to especially focus on areas where you feel there are blockages or where there has been or is physical, emotional, or psychic pain.
If you're smudging someone else (a client for whom you're doing healing work, for example) do the same.
Have a fireproof receptacle to put the smudge stick in when you've finished, such as a shell or glass or ceramic dish. It's ideal to put the stick out in sand, if available; otherwise, press it against the bottom of the receptacle. You can also use a SMALL amount of water. Always make sure that a smudge stick is out before leaving the room where you keep it.
The Round Table of Nalvage
“All things are in order. Thus saith the Messenger of him which is the God of Wisdom. Is your worthiness such, as you can merit so great a mercy? Or are your vessels cleansed, and made apt to receive and hold the sweet liquor, pure understanding itself?”
“I am therefore to instruct and inform you, according to your Doctrine delivered, which is contained in 49 Tables. In 49 voices, or callings: Which are the Natural Keys, to open those, not 49. but 48. (for One is not to be opened) Gates of Understanding, whereby you shall have knowledge to move every Gate, and to call out as many as you please, or shall be thought necessary, which can very well, righteously, and wisely, open unto you the secrets of their Cities, & make you understand perfectly the6 contained in the Tables. Through which knowledge you shall easily be able to judge, not as the world doth, but perfectly of the world, and of all things contained within the compass of Nature, and of all things which are subject to an end.”
from the Spirit Action of Thursday April 12, 1584
The Table itself consists of 4: 3 X 3 tablets named Continents. The Continents are ordered from
the upper left to the lower left to the upper right and ending with the lower right. So that the concourse of the forces through the inner square of the Table progresses in a path that would form an inverted capital letter ‘N.’
The 1st and 2nd Continents are said to be dignified. The 3rd not yet dignified, but to be dignified. And the 4th is described as being without glory or dignification. The Latin appellations assigned to each repeat and emphasize the same sentiments. The upper left quadrant is called the “Vita Suprema,” ‘ the highest life.’ The lower left is simply “Vita,” ‘the life.’ The upper right is described as “Vita non dignificata, sed dignificanda,” that is ‘the life not dignified, but which shall be dignified.’ And of the lower right it is said, “Vita est etiam haec, sed quae peperit mors” meaning ‘Even this is life, but life which will be payed with death.’
When combined the 4 Continents form an inner tablet of 36 squares Attached to the sides of this inner tablet are 4 linear segments of 4 squares each, centered on the 4 sides of the inner tablet. Making the total number of squares in the Table 52.
The Substance is attributed to God the Father.

Avoiding Your True Power
There are times when we feel the pull to meditate but are swayed from it by the excuses that spring to mind. We may think that we are too busy, have no time to ourselves, or that we do not have the right place to meditate. Our minds can think of dozens of reasons to put off meditation. But those are even stronger reasons to look past the illusion of the hustle and bustle of daily life and to connect to the place within that intersects with the timeless power and limitless potential of the universe. From that place we can experience that potent stillness that exists at all times, and it is only as far as away as our breath.
It might be useful to ask yourself why you would put off something so beneficial to your peace of mind and general well-being. There may be fear that if you were to stop your frantic pace, your world might fall apart, and then you would have to face the undeniable reality of who you really are and the results of the choices you have made. You might be afraid that you will be forced to make huge changes in order to align yourself with the universe and harness your true potential. Sometimes the frustrations of the known world seem less scary than the possibilities of the unknown. But the truth is that when we cooperate with the universe by creating our lives from the truth of our being, life becomes less of a struggle and more of a process of living blissfully on purpose.
Finding yourself alone for a few moments can give you the opportunity to turn within to infuse a sense of calm wisdom to your work. Whenever you can take the time to recenter and refocus, it will remind you how beneficial it is to connect to your source. Then you will make the time for longer sojourns of spirit, because once you are rejuvenated and enlivened by knowing that you are made of energy and light, you can channel the power to create your life in alignment with the highest potential of your soul.
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are widespread in Europe
Evidence increasingly suggests that vitamin and mineral deficiencies are widespread in the European Union. A recent report, for example, suggests that up to 3.6 million people in the
With the estimates suggesting that up to 6 per cent of the UK population could be suffering from serious vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and UK hospital figures showing malnutrition to be found in all age groups, including newborn babies, one has to question the wisdom of an upcoming proposal from the European Commission – the European Union's executive body – that threatens to ban thousands of vitamin and mineral supplements from being sold in Europe.
After all, it's not as if the problem of nutritional deficiencies was only confined to the
In 1997, for example, a report by the European Commission into nutrient intake in European Union Member States concluded that "for almost all vitamins, minerals and trace elements, there exist one or more population groups with intakes below nationally recommended levels." People thought to be particularly at risk included: women; adolescents or children (particularly "picky" ones); the elderly; women during the periconceptual period; people on a diet for losing weight; people on vegetarian diets; people having allergies to foods; persons eating a high proportion of "fast foods" or "junk foods" and others.
The nutrients found to be most often deficient included iron, iodine and vitamins B2, B6 and D; and this despite the fact that in many cases, with the exception of iodine, they were already being added to some foods as mandatory fortificants.
Given the widespread nature of nutrient deficiencies in
Sir Percivale
The earliest works telling Sir Percivale's story show that his real name was Peredyr. Hence his identification with Peredyr Arueu Dur (Steel Arms), the historic King of Ebrauc (York) who lived about a hundred years after the great King Arthur. His father - whether the literary King Pellinore or the historic King Eliffer of Ebrauc - was killed when Sir Percivale was still young. He and his twin-brother, Gurgi, were therefore raised in the woods by their mother who wanted them to know nothing of knighthood; but, having seen some of High-King Arthur’s knights, Percivale determined to go to the
On arrival at King Arthur's court, he discovered that the Red Knight had insulted Queen Guinevere by throwing wine over her and departing post haste. So Percivale pursued and killed him. He later stayed with an old knight named Gornemant de Goort who taught him chivalry and knighted him. Leaving his tutor, he came to the castle belonging to Lady Blanchefleur which was under siege by King Clamadeus. So he defeated Clamadeus in single combat and became Blanchefleur's lover. On the way to see his mother, a fisherman directed Percivale to his old family castle at Listinoise (which means “Castle in the North”) where he beheld an old man - Pelles, the Fisher King - on a couch and was given a fine sword. The Holy Grail was paraded before him, but Percivale did not ask what the Grail was or whom it served. When he awoke the next morning, he found his sword broken and the castle deserted. He only just escaped it alive. Percivale then encountered his cousin who informed him that he should have asked more questions and told him to take the sword to its original forger.
On his journey, he overcame the husband of the girl whom he had kissed earlier in the tent, who had not understood that Percivale had acted innocently. After five years of wanderings, he finally returned to Listinoise and asked his questions. He discovered that the Fisher King was wounded by fragments of a sword which had killed his brother. Though sustained by the Grail, his wounds would not heal until the murderer was brought to justice. Percivale killed the villain and the King recovered. It was then revealed that Percivale was the Fisher King’s nephew and when the he died, Percivale succeeded to his kingdom.

42 Increase
Substantial progress and increasing prosperity is exhilarating, as long as you go with the flow while it lasts and keep the interests of others in mind. Like white water on a river, periods of increase are often of short duration; it furthers one, therefore, to shoot the rapids now, while the opportunity is there.
Police now 'need a miracle' to solve Madeleine mystery, as investigation runs out of steam
Kate and Gerry McCann will not face further police interviews unless detectives can produce stronger evidence against them, the public prosecutor in Portugal said yesterday.
Jose Magalhaes e Meneses refused to sanction further moves against them without better evidence to back up claims they were involved in Madeleine's disappearance days before her fourth birthday.
Privately, detectives admitted that it would take "a miracle" for them to build a stronger case against the couple.
The McCann's spokesman Clarence Mitchell welcomed the admission.
He demanded that police lift Mr and Mrs McCann's status as official suspects, or aguidos, in the investigation."This would indicate the police absolutely, and quite rightly, have no case against Kate and Gerry. In these circumstances there is nothing for them to do but to clear Kate and Gerry and release their arguido status immediately." (Daily Mail)
