The Fall of Empires and the Promise of Eden
- The Fall of Empires and the Promise of Eden -
I was told not too very long ago, that I am a holy person. Over the years... many people, have told me that my words are sacred, profound, and meaningful to them, and that through those words their lives could be changed. I have spent much time lately in prayer, and I have experienced many visions and a great many dreams in which God spoke unto me, and I shall use the word God to refer to such a truly transcendent and glorious principle. Elsewhere, I have referred to this as Allah, and one name is just as good as any other for...

Kara, Paul, and Chloe
- Kara, Paul, and Chloe -
I posted this on both Facebook and DeviantArt just earlier today, and I decided to copy and paste it to here so that people can read it and have a better idea about my current mental state, amongst a good many other things that have been going on with me. Anyway, here is what I posted on those two sites, and the terrible things that I have been dealing with and going through:

Truth that is Nurtured, and Other Teachings
- Truth that is Nurtured, and Other Teachings -
I bear witness and testimony that Allah is greater than all things, for Allah is all things and within and a part of all things, and apart from all things eternally and without ending. There is nothing that can be truly called God save for Allah! The angels that are Allah's messengers revere the Eternal One. The Jinn serve the will of the Eternal One. Even those that are fallen from grace, are so by the will of that Eternal One, for there is nothing that is not in accordance with what was foreseen by Allah. That which we may...

Do Not Presume
- Do Not Presume -
- Oh Allah! I say this unto those who have misunderstood my nature,
I say this not in anger but so that they may know me better.
The recitation of these verses, is to teach about myself,
Because understanding brings peace, the greatest wealth.
“Do not presume, to know of my true gender better than I!
When I have so laid down in my writings the spectrum of it.
I declared myself to be far beyond the binary of merely two,
Born as I was in the image...

Two Blue Oceans
- Two Blue Oceans -
Memory One: Peace, Serenity, and Sorrow
I look into the distance, and I see the ancient days reflected,
Other worlds, other times, other ages now lost to all records.
I look within, I see the place that is most securely protected,
From within to beyond, to a paradise filled with songs of birds.
A singular oasis, where in other flesh we oft went to feel peace!
Those of my house knew not of our secret meetings, lost love.
Yet I oft did sneak away, to bask in the wonder of your company,
Beneath the moons of a world no eyes see...

The Meanings and Symbolism behind my New Name
- The Meanings and Symbolism behind my New Name -
If everyone was curious about my name change, it was for two reasons... one being that I did it to honor my recent conversion to Islam, with my new name being now Arabic in origin. This is a tradition for people who convert to Islam, to choose an Arabic name or a name with at least an Arabic meaning to it. And I wished to honor that tradition fully. As for the other reason, that reason is that my new name is also somewhat of an anagram for a name that I had in one of my earliest past lives. The anagram can be solved, and its'...

Sand, Water, and Spirit
- Sand, Water, and Spirit -
Across the sands, the whispering of a thousand lifetimes...
I hear the voices calling from the places no ear has heard,
And in the waters that lie hidden, I see the tapestry of the past.
How can I speak of what I have seen, so it can be conferred?
The tapestry of things that flow from the first of all, unto the last.
Only to begin anew, with the ringing of profound celestial chimes!
Across the ages, the knowing of futures without limitation...
Every possibility my eyes have glimpsed, but only one to be;
For...

How Wicca Led Me to Islam and Redemption: Part Two
- How Wicca Led Me to Islam and Redemption: Part Two -
At the end of my long life as Ishtar, when I was still going by the name of Ereshkigal, I retired from ruling over Kurnugia and left it in the care of Nergal whilst I went away to live with Lilith in her home by the shores of the Red Sea. Many times, the Anunnaki sent messengers to myself and to Lilith to get us to come back to them and every time we refused to do so. Eventually, despite my body being pretty much the latest model synthetic android designed to last for thousands of years... wear and tear, and a general lack of...

How Wicca Led Me to Islam and Redemption: Part One
- How Wicca Led Me to Islam and Redemption: Part One -
This is a work explaining how it was that I came to Islam from having been a Wiccan previously, and how it does not contradict... but rather enhances and expands upon... all of my previous beliefs. Likely, the best place to begin with, should always be the origination of things. And, for me, the start of all my spiritual undertakings was the year 1991, when I was seventeen years old. The year previous, sometime after the death of my first love Andrea, I was contacted by a girl named Lilith who physically was, to so look at...
