Earthquakes and Oil Spills

On November 5, at around 1:30 a.m., I posted to Facebook: "earthquake?" I had been almost asleep when I felt the tremors/had a vision, and I wondered if an earthquake was happening or was going to happen within the next 7-10 days (which is my window of seeing - and by "earthquake" I mean anything other than a small one, which the Earth has every day). As it so happens, an earthquake was happening right at that moment in the area affected by Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey (it occurred at 1:19 a.m.: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/05/new-jersey-earthquake-2012_n_2075620.html). Then on November 7, a 7.4 quake struck Guatemala. 

On November 6, I posted the following to my Facebook page: "I've been smelling petroleum all day long while outside (and a tiny bit while inside). It's not our cars, no other neighbors' cars are parked near us, so I'm uncertain where the smell is coming from. If what I'm smelling is metaphysical, I reckon that means there will be a large oil spill in the near future. If the smell is actually real (hahaha - jeez sometimes I crack myself up by how totally loony tunes I sound!), wonder where it's coming from?" On November 7, one of my FB friends posted an article re a 840 gallon spill in Port Angeles, WA: http://www.king5.com/news/environment/840-gallon-fuel-oil-spill-in-Port-Angeles-177640001.html, and on November 9, a 336,000 gallon spill happened in New Jersey and New York: http://greenpeaceblogs.org/2012/11/08/photos-336000-gallon-diesel-spill-pollutes-waterways-after-hurricane-sandy/.

UPDATE: keeping with my visions of a 7-10 day time span, there was an oil platform explosion today: http://www.wwltv.com/news/Coast-Guard-reports-offshore-platform-burning-in-Gulf-of-Mexico-179665361.html

I swear I'll try to be better about simultaneously posting my visions on this blog, followed with updates, as soon as they happen as I do on Facebook.  Stay safe, everybody - our precious Earth is going through a time of upheaval!

Hurricane Sandy

when Hurricane Irene blew through here last summer, I knew there'd be lots of rain and flooding, but I wasn't all that concerned about our area. We DID have flooding in our basement, but no big damage. Vermonters, however, experienced major flooding, so it wasn't exactly a minor storm for them (understatement!). With Hurricane Sandy, though, I have a bad feeling. It's going to collide with a Nor'Easter - never a good thing! For the last few days I've felt a sense of dread. I'll try to mojo it out to the Atlantic, but quite frankly Mama Nature has a will of her own and loves to laugh at those of us who are most connected to her. Should hit Monday/Tuesday, so buckle up East Coast peeps and stay tuned...

Message from Beyond, Mexican Warning & Announcements

Message from Beyond: This is for Sherry, or your passed loved one's name is Sherry: A woman (I believe - I could have just picked that up from the name 'Sherry') told me that "Sherry dealt with insurance companies and others because I just couldn't deal with any of it. She'll never know how grateful I am that she did that for me." 

Mexican Warning: I was shown in dreamtime Americans in Mexico who were shot at on three separate occasions simply because they were American, and the Americans may or may not have been military members. It seemed as if the US Military was involved - innocently - somehow. If you're planning a trip to Mexico, please be cautious and aware of your surroundings!

Ageless Knowledge: I have a new weekly webcast on Ageless Knowledge called Holistic Healing with Medicine Woman Kerry in which I'll discuss one herb a week, along with aromatherapy and using different healing methods for whatever ails you :D! Starting with the second show, I'll also close each segment with a brief visual healing meditation. Please watch - it's free and educational and, hopefully, interesting! Here's the link to the show: http://www.agelessknowledge.com/HH_Medicine_Woman_Kerry.html

Skincare Products: I'm also pleased to announce that my new Skin Care Products are ready for sale! These are organic, luxurious products that really, truly work and are just plain GOOD for your skin! Here's the link to the products:http://www.gertieseesghosts.com/skincareproducts.html

Treating Shingles Holistically

My local television station gave a segment with a doctor who urged everyone who has had chicken pox as a child to be vaccinated against shingles. Since I have serious reservations about most vaccines because of the additives in them, I went to the CDC website and looked up the vaccine for shingles, ZosTavax. The following additives are included in this vaccine: sucrose, hydrolyzed porcine gelatin, monosodium L-glutamate, sodium phosphate dibasic, potassium phosphate monobasic, neomycin, potassium chloride, residual components of MRC-5 cells including DNA and protein, bovine calf serum. Many people are allergic to MSG, and both neomycin and the potassium additives can cause neurotoxicity and kidney failure. Source:  http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/B/excipient-table-2.pdf

Then there's the cost of the vaccine: Medicaid Part D pays for it, Medicaid Part B does not, and private insurers may not cover it either. And it's expensive - several hundred dollars. The efficacy rate is only 51% with a 64% rate of lessening the severity of symptoms. So you may be paying hundreds of dollars for a vaccine that may not work, contains additives that may poison you, and only lasts about 7 years.

Shingles is a virus. There are many antiviral essential oils and herbs that can be used to treat shingles, chief among them Melissa, hyssop, tea tree and  Bergamot. If you get shingles, sprinkle a few drops of Melissa essential oil onto a cotton pad and apply directly to the lesions. The essential oil will be absorbed into your blood stream to kill the virus. While you're letting the Melissa work, make up a mixture of one tablespoon coconut oil, one tablespoon aloe Vera gel, one teaspoon honey, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, along with a few drops of one (or more) of the following essential oils: Melissa, Hyssop, bergamot, eucalyptus, Lemongrass, or tea tree. Adding a teaspoon of clay to the mixture will also speed up the process of drying out the lesions, and any clay that clings to your clothing will wash right out. Apply mixture to the lesions at least three times per day. Store any unused mixture in an airtight jar, away from heat and light.

You can also treat the shingles internally by adding the raw herbs Lemon balm (Melissa), oregano, thyme, lemongrass and sage to your meals. 

Tuning into the Earth

I'm back to having to mow the yard myself after three months of a yard service doing it for me - no way was I willing to spend 2 hours in 100 degree heat & awful humidity doing it on my own. Since the weather has gotten cooler (it's only in the high 80s/low 90s y'all! Lol), piece of cake, right? Um, not so much, but I got it done, and The Girls (dogs) and I went into the shady backyard so that I c

ould smell that heavenly aroma of newly cut grass. I was sitting on the ground, rubbing my bare feet into the grass and earth, when Maggie jumped into my lap. She has long hair and is like a heater, and coupled with the heat radiating off me in waves, I was sweating profusely. I looked at her and blurted out, "a little breeze, please, said the birds to the bees" and gave her a kiss. At that moment the trees started swaying, and Maggie wagged her tail. Ah, bliss ♥

Tune into the Earth, y'all! Crinkle your toes into the ground, close your eyes and let your mind drift into oblivion. Let the trees' gentle swaying waft into your senses and your soul. Discover that you are of the Earth, and she is of you. You'll catch yourself grinning from ear to ear before you realize, recharged and re-energized to tackle the rest of the day. Ah, bliss, indeed ♥

Choice, followed by A Moment of Laughter

A Friday commentary and then I'm going to insist on happy happy joy joy for the rest of the day: for any of my friends still waffling on whether or not to vote for a Republican - ANY Republican- into office in November, be aware that the GOP has adopted as a major part of its party platform a Personhood clause. Even if you think abortion is wrong, what a personhood clause does is to outlaw removing an ectopic pregnancy, ban in-vitro fertilization (multiple eggs are fertilized with a few being implanted and the rest destroyed), outlaw the morning after pill, prevent a doctor from giving life saving treatment to a pregnant woman if the fetus could be harmed (like in a car crash, or shooting, or major illness). Take it one step further: your sister, cousin, aunt, mother, best friend cannot seek treatment if they have been raped or incest has occurred. One more step further: your 13 year old virgin daughter has been raped, tells you immediately, you report it to police, and at the hospital the doctor tells you that it's illegal to give her the pill. Is this really the direction in which you wish our country to go? Women deserve a reproductive choice. Don't judge - any of these scenarios could happen to you.

Of course if this IS the direction the country goes, business will boom for me and other shaman peeps. Remember, I'm a medicine woman and herbalist and know the formula for herbal cocktails used by women since ancient times to end pregnancy

. But as with all herbal medicine, one type doesn't fit all, allergic reactions can occur, depending on the herbs used may be ineffective (and there are many scam artists just waiting to take your money and run), and certainly won't help in cases of ectopic pregnancy or major body trauma. Let's keep a woman's choice between her and her doctor a personal one, please.

I guess my mother's been visiting from the otherworld as I've been thinking of her all morning. Placed into my consciousness was an incident that happened when I was in my 20s and had dropped by mom's house for a visit. I had dated a guy named Dan when I was 15 and 16, and he and i still were on good terms with each other's mother. On that particular day, mom told me she had gotten her hair done and then went shopping at the mall. Mom: I saw Dan today, and he said, "Beep beep Miss Pat"! What on earth could he have meant? Me, looking at her new extreme hair style: um, you look just like the Road Runner, Mom. Needless to say, we laughed and laughed, and I'm laughing still. So Beep Beep Mom! I feel you, I appreciate and love you and I miss you...

Earthquake Anniversary

It's been one year since we had a 5.8 earthquake here in Virginia, and our local tv station just featured a short piece highlighting the quake. I blogged about it (see http://gertieseesghosts.blogspot.com/2011/08/earthquake-and-hurricane-predictions-up.html) and still get emotional thinking about it.

My first thought as the quake hit was that we we're about to have a natural gas explosion, and indeed, in the tv piece the reporter was shown racing out of the studio asking if the gas lines were about to blow. The sound was a roar, coupled with the house swaying from side to side as opposed to shaking. Even though I predicted the quake just a few days before and was told in my vision that it would be local, I was completely shocked that Virginia could suffer through a quake! So I was unprepared and at a loss as to what to do, and what makes me weep right now is remembering my one overwhelming thought as I realized I couldn't get The Girls harnessed and out of the house before we all died: "Oh, Jeff is going to be so disappointed," and it broke my heart. My only thought was of my husband losing all four of us because I couldn't get us out in time.

Since that day I am definitely prepared. I bought snap on collars for The Girls and have them within reach should this happen again. I know the protocol for earthquakes is to not go outside but to stay in and hunker down, but our buildings here aren't built to withstand any quakes, and I'd much rather take my chances outside, surrounded by my beloved Earth, than inside a crumbling man made structure! But I've gone beyond just preparing for an earthquake: both of our cars now have emergency bags, along with copies of The Girls' rabies certificates; we keep a large supply of batteries and water on hand (which I was thankful for when the July storm knocked out power for 6 days); I bought all three Girls their own little floater devices in case we have a flood (Jeff thinks that's hysterically funny, but hey! you never know!); we have plenty of dried beans and legumes and brown rice and all are portable; The Girls' dry food is in an easily lift able and airtight container should we need to evacuate. The only thing we really need is a generator - we have plenty of battery operated Coleman lanterns for light, but the refrigerator and fans and computer need a power source.

So get your preparations in order, y'all! If you have pets, keep the essentials in one place that is easily accessible, and the same goes for children's essentials, in case you have to immediately leave your home. Keep pertinent shot records for both pets and children in your glove compartments and an emergency file that you can scoop up on your way out. Above all, be prepared so that you take action and feel somewhat in control instead of just reacting which often leads to panic and total loss of control. The next life you save may be your family's!

Message From Beyond

Message from beyond: In dreamtime I was in a kitchen that had a clock in the shape of a cat, only instead of on the wall, it was on the counter. I was having a conversation with a woman, and we were discussing upcoming plans. She told me, "it's not time yet." so whoever this message is for, if this scenario looks familiar to you and you have made plans for a big change in your life, please be patient and wait a while longer - it's not time yet.

Your Shekinah Is Your Shoulder

In dreamtime I was told by a rabbi: "Your shekinah is your shoulder, all right?" I replied, "I don't know what I was thinking!" I have no idea what prompted this conversation, except it seemed I was in a school of mystical learning.

I just now looked up the definition of "shekinah" (nope, I'm not Jewish and know only two words in Yiddish that I never have to look up: "oy vey" and "meshuggah"). According to the Jewish Encyclopedia (http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/13537-shekinah), shekinah is interpreted several different ways, although all interpretations essentially mean that God dwells within us and we in His temple - a manifestation, if you will - and that most references are spoken of as radiance or light. As readers of this blog know, I don't believe in a "God" although I do believe in the universal One connection of all of us, and I believe we each are god-like in our abilities to become one another. Okay, I just re-read what I wrote, and it definitely sounds inane and trite and rather "body snatcher"ish. What I mean is that we each hold the key for greatness and good; when you're able to "walk in one's shoes" and gain full insight into that other person (or being!) and actually experience his or her joy and pain, you then become what our various religions refer to as "God."

So what did this conversation mean? As to all things mystical it's part of a whole, and I'm pretty sure it meant that the Light resides even in our shoulder, as it does our toes, our minds, our hearts, our souls. Why was I shown and told this? As a reminder that we each hold the key to light and radiance in every fiber of our being if we would only remember that it's there. I think I may have been given this vision because the shooting at the Sikh temple yesterday was weighing heavily on my heart, along with all the violence and hate that is being spewed from all corners of the world. It's exactly the type of reminder that I needed - "I don't know what I was thinking!" indeed. I only hope more now than ever that the shekinah shines more brightly through all of us in this world so filled with turmoil.

Not Exactly a Precog but Realtime & A Curious Friday the 13th

I went to bed at about 2:15 a.m. EST Saturday morning. I awoke about 45 minutes later convinced that a terrorist attack was happening. In the vision I was in a crowded place, bullets flying everywhere, people running, people dying to my left and right, sirens screaming through the night, and bombs being detonated. I thought I should get up and turn on the news to see if D.C. was still standing, and then I thought, "I honestly don't want to know. If someone's waging war on D.C., then it won't be too long before they come roaring up our street, and I'll find out then." I did have the foresight to help those killed comprehend what had happened and to lead them to the otherworld, and I went back later on Saturday to see if I could find any others who may have been overlooked in the chaos. What I'd like to ask for anyone here reading this is that if you hear of a disaster with deaths, please take a moment to imagine being on-scene, taking a victim's hand, and leading him or her to the otherworld or "the light" - picture a huge white/golden shimmering light with starbursts radiating from it. Your thoughts will transform into action in the ethereal world, and you may very well help many people have peace, comfort and guidance in that difficult time of transition between this world and the next!


So when I got up at about 7:30 Saturday morning, I was not surprised to see that an attack had happened, only in Aurora, CO, and not D.C. And the gunman didn't detonate any bombs, although his apartment was apparently boobytrapped with them. But as I watched the news, I relived the horror, the smells, the panic, the heroism of those protecting others, the utter emptiness of the shooter's soul. And I wept. For hours, it seemed like.


This is the first time I can remember being transported (or astral traveling) in real time to an actual scene of murder; most of my visions are precogs of future events. For instance before 9/11/01, I started having visions in June which included an airplane propeller flying through a crowded city street, and I  was in the crowd, looking on with sheer terror. This vision and others that followed in the months leading up to 9/11 prompted me to go to a Catholic website and buy saints' medallions for both Jeff and I for protection. As readers of this blog know, I'm not Catholic, not even Christian but rather just believe in the universal connectivity of all, but every fiber of my being was screaming for otherworldly protection from what was to come.


One final observation: I watched the Aurora shooter today as he attended his arraignment, and I saw the total confusion on his face as the charges were read. He looked sad, pathetic and totally out of it. It seemed to me that the enormity and realization of what he had wrought had creeped into his soul, and he was unable to comprehend how he had gotten to this place in time. While my heart and thoughts definitely go out to all the victims and their families, my heart also goes out to the shooter while he rots in the hell of his own choosing. Tragic beyond words for every single person affected by his actions, including him.


UPDATE: I had a ghost box session Saturday morning and asked 1) my name and got answers such as "Kay" and "Katie" which are my nicknames 2) I asked if it was the spirits coming through the ghost box who sent me the vision of the shooting, and they all said "yes" 3) I asked if all those killed were now in the Otherworld, and again got multiple yesses.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okey dokey - on to a "Curious Friday the 13th": on Friday, July 13, 2012, I was in the office at the computer, Sadie (my yorkie) asleep at my feet on one of the floor pillows we have scattered everywhere. We both looked up as we noticed a flashing light, similar to a police car's light - rotating - but this light was white. Sadie jumped on the chair and looked out the window with me but there was no traffic, no strange cars in the 'hood, no movement at all. Immediately after the light came the screaming of the crows. Many crows! They were raising a ruckus as if a flock of hawks was after them. After listening to them for a good 10-15 minutes, all The Girls (dogs) and I went outside to see what was going on, and I took my camera to film it. The film turned out blurry with rays of light interspersed between a small amount of clarity. I published the video, and a friend of mine found two spirits in the frame. Here's the video

Here's the two pictures of the spirits:

In the first picture, it looks as if the spirit is a man wearing a red tie, and in the second picture is a woman with her arms out wearing a long dress.


I also taped two separate sessions through my ghost box. A ghost box is a hacked am/fm radio that allows spirits' voices to come through more easily than just by trying to capture an EVP, or electronic voice, through an ordinary recorder. People who listened to these heard warnings being issued and a "normal" EVP was captured as well. You can be the judge, and I'd appreciate it if you'd tell me what you hear. You can clearly hear "it was" at the :26, :40 and :58 marks, and when I asked if my dog Lucy joined them, I got positive confirmation. Here are the two sessions:


Strange Friday the 13th


Friday the 13th Session 2




To cap off the strangeness, and to add humor to the situation, I was rudely awakened Saturday morning, July 14th, at 4:00 am by helicopters flying back and forth over our neighborhood. Not a good way to begin the weekend! Jeff had fallen asleep early Friday evening and by 4:00 am was wide awake and watching television in the livingroom when all the noise was going on. I yelled (above the cacophony), "What the hell is going on? Who on earth would be flying at this hour???" And he replied, "Oh calm down. It's just some Congressman escorting his mistress home." hehehe
