..THE -BEGINNING- of JOE’s -PAST LIFE- READING by Tara Ciampa - EDITOR

..I suggested to Joe that he get a past-life reading from my Shaman since she is the best past-life / astrology reader I have come across by far. With Joe being such a confirmed and unmovable skeptic it would be a real test of Diane’s skill and accuracy. Lucky for me Joe was up for the challenge. We did not know at all how all this would turn out.

..I have a history of getting readings and and Diane’s really made sense in how it relates to my life today. It was a breath of fresh air to come across a reader so accurate, personable, honest and talented. She is the real deal and I had been searching for the right reader for a couple years prior to finding her. Any skepticism I once had literally disappeared due to her convincing reading. I have dealt with those I would never recommend. I am not that easy to impress.

..We had one past life reading done on Joe that was so bad that I absolutely refuse to and will not publish it anywhere. It was so poorly done and not in any way at all accurate. I was just MORTIFIED! Now... I have known Joe for two years... I personally could tell within the first two sentences that this was so off base, so inaccurate and so thin in content and was basically a “take the money and run” type of deal (in our opinion). But one good thing had come out of this experience. Joe was able to see how different the two readings measured up in accuracy and authenticity. This was his first type of experience EVER of getting any type of spiritual reading whatsoever.

..One thing specifically Diane said is that she mentioned “I was a herbal healer in a past life (named Meredith).” I have this determination and have for many years to find the best herbs available to cure what modern science struggles with..Shaman Diane asked me if had stomach pain. The answer was an very emphatic “yes.” It was because she told me I had been stabbed in the stomach in a past life. I have been dealing with some horrific stomach pain for well over ten years. She really hit the mark with that information.

..Now, getting back to Joe’s reading. We ended up at a target shooting range (first time for both of us) one day on a whim and he was so amazingly accurate for a first time shot. Before he even got his past life reading done I said to him: “there are guns in your past life, I just know it.

..I was certainly right about that... Just look at his reading that follows below. All Diane needed of Joe to do his PAST LIFE READING was this: his TIME OF BIRTH, his DATE OF BIRTH, and his LOCATION OF BIRTH.

..THE READING by Diane Hurley: aka Racoonwoman

..Thank you again for allowing me to be part of your exciting new Online Investigative Magazine! I’ve got a full pot of coffee so here it goes: Your Astrological Birth Chart: Joe... we started with a ‘snapshot’ of how the planets’ alignment influenced you at the time of your birth (November 23, 1965 / early AM / Braddock, PA.). This chart is simply an overall view of some of the strengths and challenges you may find ahead of you in this lifetime. I like to describe the Birth Wheel as a pizza, cut into 12 slices. The planets are then placed around the pie depending upon where they were at the exact time of your birth. Each ‘slice’ is called a House, each representing a particular facet of your life. The 12 Houses are as follows:

..1st House –You. If there are planets that fall within this area they add traits or strongly impact the qualities of the person you are. In your case there were not any planets in this House, meaning you have already accepted Who You Are, or that there are no general conflicts within.

..2nd House – Possessions, Finances, Abundance - Again, there were no planets that fell into this House in your reading. This is not what drives you.

..3rd House – Communications (thru artwork, music, speech, writings) . Jupiter, the planet of fortune, luck, and comfort, positively impacts the way you communicate and how effective you are when expressing your thoughts and ideas. Jupiter signifies that this is a quality you are blessed with and may use successfully to attain what it is you want.

..The next -2 Houses- there were no planets that directly influenced you here. (The 4th House representing home and family, and the 5th House representing creativity, sexuality).

..The 6th House has to do with your service and obligations to those who are closest to you in your lifetime. Colleagues, friends, people you network with and are physically in your life. This can be a challenging area for you as Sagittarius can be impatient and would rather take over the project than to wait too long to receive whatever result you were trying to accomplish. Uranus (changes, fluidity) and Pluto (adding force behind whatever is placed here) can add to the challenge when plans are constantly changing or if others stray away from the purpose of the project in the first place. This is one of your life’s lessons that you may want to focus on in this lifetime. Patience...

..The 7th House is that of partnership, marriage and relationships. Again, no planets landed in this particular area of your chart.

..We next come to the 8th House which symbolizes death, rebirth, cycles that reappear in many of your past lives as well. The mysterious planet of Neptune adds even more mystery surrounding you., It may signify that you have a keen interest in life after death, how the souls are reborn, reincarnated and where karmic debt may catch up to them.

..The 9th House is that of Spirituality, your Philosophy of life in general. Now here in this area you have 3 powerful planets that play a part in your overall personality. The 3 planets showing themselves here are the Sun (You), the Moon (emotions, feelings) and Mercury (mental thought). You are a spiritual seeker, you like to think things through before committing yourself to one train of thought. You are very open-minded and willing to listen to different views, both religiously and theological wise. You are not in any means gullible to certain beliefs, you’d rather do your ‘homework’ first.

..The 10th House is that of Career. Both Mars (planet of physical energy) and Venus (planet of love, affection) signifies that you are willing to expend a lot of your resources because you have a strong sense of integrity behind you and you want to lead by example. You are likely to succeed at any job you undertake.

..The 11th House contains Saturn. The planet of obligation, responsibility and duty. This House is your hopes and dreams of the future and the planet at large. You feel a sense of duty to impact the world in meaningful way, thru whatever means you have learned, whether it’s an organization you are involved in or a teaching on a grand scale.

..Finally we come to the 12th and Last House. This is where we find our self-undoing, how we undermine ourselves in achieving goals and learn from karmic debts. Your birth chart did not have any planetary influences here.

..Putting all this information together will bring to light your overall personality, strengths, challenges. It is a helpful tool when receiving a shamanic reading, as it not only helps the person giving the reading, but also interweaves with the information Spirit has imparted to you through the journey process.

..Born a Sagittarius, you are one of the Fire Signs. You are a person who likes to take action and keep busy. Medical issues are usually surrounding your joints, especially hips, legs and ankles. Sagittarians have great knowledge and wisdom, they likely know a lot about a lot of different things, but are not necessarily an expert in any one area. As I mentioned in the reading, I would never want to play Trivial Pursuit with a Sagittarius!

..In mythology Sagittarius is often associated with either a Satyr or a Centaur (in the case of the latter, often the centaur Chiron, who taught and tutored various heroes in Greek myth). In Greek mythology, centaurs were adventurous, brave, and wise, but they were also given to brawling and uncivilized behavior.

..Sagittarius is the ninth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Sagittarius. In western astrology, the sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. Sagittarius is classed as a positive or masculine, extrovert sign; its element is fire and its quality is mutable. Sagittarius is ruled by the planet Jupiter. Individuals born when the sun was in this sign are considered Sagittarius individuals. Under the tropical zodiac, the sun enters Sagittarius around November 22-23 and exits around December 21. Under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently there roughly from December 16 to January 14. People born on these juncture dates would have to have an astrological chart drawn if they wished to determine which sign the sun was in at the exact time of their birth.

..Sagittarius is ruled by the planet Jupiter, not only one of the most important gods in Roman mythology (ruler of the heavens), but also the planet that signifies good fortune in astrology. As the ninth sign in the zodiac, Sagittarius is associated with the astrological 9th house, which is associated with natural Sagittarius matters - foreign travel and foreign countries and cultures, religion, the law and higher education, all things which seek to expand one's experience, freedom, journeys. The following are traits more widely associated with Sagittarius. Note that no scientific research thus far has been able to prove such correlation. Many astrologers consider planetary aspects to hold a key influence which may override sign location and thus conceding many exceptions.

Witty conversationalist, humorous - Freedom loving - Free-spirited, Idealistic - Believing - Moral, often having a religious streak - Righteous - Intelligent, intellectual - Positive / optimistic - Honest / sincere - Confident - Enterprising, ambitious, devoted to their goals. - Energetic / active. - Versatile - Adventurous , risk-taking - Independent / unfettered - Approachable / warm. - Cheerful / likeable - Sympathetic / generous - Temperamental - Impatient / restless - Indiscreet, careless. - Blunt - Impulsive / spontaneous.

..Sagittarius is widely thought to be compatible with same element signs, Aries and Leo (TARA is a Leo). It is often considered to have a great potential with Aquarius, granted they do not overreact to things, as both are given to whims and can be quite temperamental. There are many variables that determine compatibility in astrology, such as birth dates, birth months, birth years, position of a sign within the sun, the moon, the stars, etc. The signs listed as compatible with Sagittarius do not reflect an individual profile or individual reading as interpreted within astrology, but rather reflect a general guideline and reference to compatibility as dictated by variables such as qualities and elements within the Zodiac. Professional astrologers rarely boil compatibility down to just the sun-sign. The branch in astrology dealing with interpersonal compatibilities is called Synastry.


..THE (PAST) LIFE JOURNEY BEGINS.....The purpose of the reading was your request to delve into some of your past lifetimes. I ask for the Dancers of the Four Directions, and offer myself as a channel between Mother Earth and Father Sky, so that Spirit may pass on whatever information is for your Highest Good at the time. I use sage to cleanse the atmosphere of any negativity or influences, and listen to rhythmic drums using headphones. The typical length of a journey is 15 or 30 minutes, depending upon what you are seeking. The shaman may want to journey (more than once) for further clarification or additional guidance.

..Joe... I asked Spirit to take me to some of your past lives. Whichever lives were shown to me were directly from Spirit. The messages contained within are gifts available for your reflection, whether that is in recognizing life patterns and cycles, or validating a major theme that has been repeating itself in Your Lfetime(s).

..The 1st life I was shown, you were a young boy, living on a plantation which unfortunately served as one of the battlefields during the time of the Civil War. Fire destroyed the family crops and you joined the confederacy as soon as you were old enough to do so. You lacked maturity and were driven by vengeance more than the political reasons for the war in the first place. You were shot in the left arm early on in your enlistment. You were taken to a medical camp where you witnessed the carnage and crudeness of the operations taking place at that time. You decided against putting yourself through this torture and instead returned home, feeling defeated and a failure. As you became within a mile distance of your house, you could not face your family, returning to them a cripple and a burden instead of a hero. You sat and reflected a long time on a large rock, and killed yourself with your shotgun, up thru your chin, dying young.

..Then Spirit took me to another, 2nd lifetime, one where you were a dark-skinned black man living in the far south. You were the oldest of (5) siblings,and acted as the male role model due to your own father being absent from the family. Your mother was very strong and very caring. She instilled a core value system of love, gratitude and respect. You became a street musician, playing the trombone, and depended on the money thrown in your direction for survival. You were not a bitter man who was resentful to this kind of life, but instead you had a heart of gold and always gave thanks for the abundance in your life. Family, most of all. You died at an older age, around 60 as you had white hair. You died from natural causes, most likely from a lung disease. A peaceful crossing. Your name had been (Joe) and towards the end of your life you could barely see due to advanced cataracts in your eyes.

..The last lifetime, a 3rd, we observed what was back in wartime again, this time the Korean War. Although you were American you were of Asian descent. You had conflicting feelings of participating in this war as you were in battle with your own kind. You tended to stay behind the troops to avoid much of the suffering and deaths around you. One day you strayed a little farther from the troop than necessary and found yourself a target of a bomb. As you dove to the ground a bomb exploded very close to you and as a result you lost your left arm. You eventually healed enough to re-enter society, but this time you were driven to overcome your disability and down the road you married and had children. Although it was not a rich life by any means, youprovided well so that your family had the necessities for survival. Again, you died of natural causes due to recurring infections at the site of where your arm was amputated.

INTRODUCTION PAST LIFE -1- PAST LIFE -2- PAST LIFE -3-

..These were the lifetimes that Spirit decided to share with you. As you reflect on them, look for patterns that are recurring in your life, and also to show you how far you have come in your search for spiritual enlightenment. The ease with which you shot a firearm for the first time, as if it was innately learned. The issues with your eyesight, especially bright lights that are hurtful to your eyes – such as the fire on your family’s plantation, the cataracts of the musician, and the glare of the bomb that went off close to you in Korea. You might also have issues with your left arm, although it seems that as the Korean soldier you had an acceptance of what was lost. There might be some lingering anger as well, due to your wartime experiences.

..It is very interesting that (you were a man) in all three of these lifetimes. Reclaiming your power seems to be another theme. It may be what drives you in this lifetime.


..Your Animal Power Totem:..OWL, in particular a Barned Owl, revealed itself as your totem in the journey. It is sometimes referred to as the Ghost Owl due tothe silence of its flight and markings. Is is an old symbol of spirit and ghostly contact, and also acts as a messenger from Spirit. It holds the secrets of the night and of magick, both good and bad. Always use this magick for the Highest Good of All, and be wary of exploring the black arts too deeply. Those with Owl medicine have a sense of accurate hearing and sight, especially in the nighttime. They are thought to bring omens and symbolize reincarnation in many cultures.

..Owl medicine is very powerful – you are not easily deceived for you have the ability to see and hear what is not being said just as well as what is spoken out loud. Others without clear intention will be wary around you as they know they cannot fool you. An Owl looks deep within your eyes and sees your soul, and if unaware of this medicine you may wonder why you thought this or that of someone, and then be right about it.

..Owl is significant and has very different meanings in different cultures. Learning as much as you can about itshabitat, its movements, it’s diet and other characteristics will help bring its medicine into your life. I always recommend a person keep a relic or token of some sort of their totem, so as to be reminded of it often. The more you become aware of its impact on your life, the stronger your bond will become. Its medicine is available to you at all times, if only you ask for it. As you begin to share its wisdom you will find yourself surrounded by like-minded wise people. You may find you have no patience for the dramas and everyday obstacles many of us focus on, you’d rather see the big picture and the spiritual implications of one’s actions instead. If you find that you have a stiff neck it may signify that you are holding back communication that should be shared, or that you have been looking behind you too often, bringing on a feeling of paranoia.

..My wrap-Up: Joe, I hope that you received what guidance you were seeking from Spirit at this time. I’m sure I left out some of the details of our conversation so if you have any questions or comments please feel free to ask. I feel nothing but gratitude for the information that was shared by Spirit and whatever small role I played in relaying what was observed in journey to you.

..........Blessings ahead...
