Fresh off my first opportunity to begin integrating the downloads, activations, codes and energetic infusions I experienced at Mt Shasta (with the help of an interdimensional feminine and masculine Avatar, yesterday and today, respectively) this piece covers day two of my magical journey.
Enjoy!
8/25/23 - Destination # 1
I met up with Roxy, my intrepid guide this morning at the Gateway Peace Garden, a private residence turned outdoor shrine to symbolizing world peace and providing a gathering place for proponents.
The Peace Garden has a God Pole, a Peace Pole, a Mother Mary labyrinth, a Mary Garden, prayer flags all around, and Quan Yin circle. Quan Yin is the great Goddess and Mother of Compassion. A beautiful expression of the Divine Mother, associated with eastern/oriental spiritual traditions. Quan Yin, along with both Mary’s and others have been communing with me in my personal sits (and more recently in my work) for a few years now. So much of what takes place in my Spiritual Healing offering is led by Divine Feminine forces, so what a joy to visit this heavily Div Fem-loaded place and kick off day two here. I had it on my list anyway. And since the main mountain road was still closed as of that morning, perfect.
We walked the labyrinth, set intentions, prayed, and then settled in for another crystal alchemy singing bowl-assisted activation in the Quan Yin garden, which felt right to both of us.
If day one started off with an heightened energetic bang (See PT1 if you missed that), today was with an observant calm. A slow burn. Equally as wonderful.
Roxy got her bowls and invocations going. As I entered into a reverent state and setteled into a meditation, my head starts its infinity symbol movement and I right away get that, unsurprisingly, my/our host for this session is Quan Yin.
It was a lovely sit, if otherwise unremarkable. Save for at one point the energy, likely enhanced by the intensity and vibration of the crystal bowls and the power and significance of the spoken word activation, seemed to really ramp up. The velocity of my involuntary head movement (PT3 foreshadowing…) then got so intense that I actually lost upright balance and fell backwards. I was seated of course, so it was more humorous than anything. Oh the hazards of woo woo work :>
We wrapped up the Peace Garden visit with another walk through and I wrote a prayer on one of the cloths and hung it on the fence which people have been doing since the garden was built. What a beautiful place.

Destination # 2
We leave the Peace Garden and head out to McCloud Falls. This is one powerful, magnificent waterfall with a high cliff where a tour group of teens were jumping off into the basin below. Needless to say, at age 53, I declined the cortisol spike routine.
We crawled our way through the rocky, hilly, slippery wet terrain to get as close to the main wall of rushing water as possible. Roxy got in and swam around, which impressed (and mildly emasculated me, I’ll admit) cause that shit was fucking freezing. Instead I got to as near the center of the falls without being right under it to take in the power and energy.
McCloud Falls is, like so many places at Mt Shasta, a know energetic hotspot.
I get situated standing in a secure areas on a rock, say a few prayers, give thanks for this natural wonderland and express gratitude for being at this majestic mountain. I remember feeling a mild trance-like state come on while standing and staring at the rushing cascades and just hanging out in a state of being ‘open to receive.’ That calm but steady kind of hydra power is naturally trance inducing, I’ll say.
Next thing I know I perceive a download/transmission coming on. A mental impression of this exact sentence then arrives in my psyche:
“You are closer to home than you’ve ever been before.”
I check with my higher guidance for discernment and clarification in the quick and dirty way [the ‘Holy Discernment’ gift I was graced with years back that came in the form of an always available subtle head nod- up for yes/true, left/right for no/false, to any query or sustained thought]. This was my own thought?: ‘No.’ I imagined it?: ‘No.’ A transmission?: ‘Yes.’ From a higher source?: ‘Yes.’ Perceived/received correctly?: Then the quick run through the usual suspects- guides, masters, angel collectives etc and the affirmative on the source of delivery is my gateway guide, Saint Germain.
I stood there taking that in for a good while.
I’ve been and will continue to ponder what exactly this means to me, as it can obviously be interpreted in more ways than one. At the least, I take it as a confirmation that I was indeed called to the mountain. And that I’ll likely be coming back.
This is why guides out here like Roxy, herself called to/by the mountain, typically greet tour-ees with “Welcome home.”

Since we spent a considerable amount of time at the Peace Garden and McCloud Falls (plus the travel time to get to the Falls), this was it for my time with Roxy. We left there and she promised to text with ideas, other destinations and magic places to consider and over my next two days.
After heading back to the town of Mt Shasta to browse and buy a few books, crystals and stuff, I decided to head back to Castle Lake. I get there, find the path we took out to the spot we worked in, and while searching along the lakes edge, I stumble upon a totally un-phased, totally topless lone sunbather, in all her half-naked exhibitionistic glory, sprawled out on a big flat rock. Hey, it’s California. Apparently, still the 60s there :>
I eventually find the spot where the Ancient Egyptian energy infusion took place. I did a meditation, this one hosted by a Light Being of unknown origin. And wouldn’t you know—this time sans vibration and sound of singing bowls like the day before—a parade of ducks again came waddling right up to me as I silently sat there!
Woo-attracted ducks :>
And for The Divine finale of Day Two….
Just after leaving Castle Lake, as I get to the bottom of the long and winding road, Roxy texts: “The main road to the mountain just re-opened!”
My heart leapt with joy!
If you missed this in PT1, the day I arrived I found out the main road to the mountain—the one to the very spots I had staked out to go to for my last two days solo— got shut down due to mud slides. I prayed, politely requesting intervention if it was the will of the Divine that I get to access the places where Saint Germain was said to have appeared in August of 1930, and to be led to some of the notorious portals and vortexes in and around Bunny Flats and Panther Meadows.
I check my HG on this and it is confirmed. Divine orchestration indeed at play here.
No words.
*Can it get any better?
In PT3 I’ll be sharing about my solo expeditions at Bunny Flats on day three, and Panther Meadows on day four.
(*SPOILER ALERT: IT GOT BETTER).
Until then,
Peace Gardens, Divine Mothers of Compassion, Ducks, Topless Sunburns, and Divine Interventions,
