KemeTones has evolved in many directions and formats, now including Solfeggio Frequencies, and have also incorporated Reiki.Ra Sekhi Energy Healing plus MOVEMENT: The Spiral Dance. There are many new packages available as well as distant or remote healing sessions.
I have started a series about my travels to Kemet: Musical Initiatic Journey. This is at the Music site, tchiya.com
In 2020 I had an online concert series, Ancient African Adorations, released 2 new songs, one based on Kemetic Maat Wisdom (TWO ROADS) and one based on my healing journey and life experiences (POLICE STATE). Also released my first official music video, TWO ROADS. Here are a few links to get you started, then please join me over at tchiya.com (Music) and lightbeingwellness.com (Wellness Products and Services)
New Moon, New Calendar year, Chinese New year, New Tune, New way of doing things. Time has come to streamline and make the HeruScopes plus Good Rising TV more efficient. Here is first attempt.
Here is YouTube video for HeruScopes plus Ancient African Adorations. This report is only for The New Moon and Sun in Sidereal Capricorn. Will post in bite size segments rather than jam packed into one video like I was attempting to do before. Please comment or leave suggestions. Thanks in advance.
The New Moon is always magical. Like starting over with a clean slate. When the girls were young, we observed the Hebrew Tradition of Rosh Hashanah, the Birthday of the World. Times have changed, the Girls are grown and have moved on. I have moved on as well. During this New Moon, I am making some Huge Changes! Kinda scary. Truly letting go of what no longer serves me: spiritually, energetically, traditionally, culturally, etc. Taking actions that will lead me to expressing my Authentic Self. It feels like I am still living to perfect the Woman that I was 28 years ago.
28 years ago, I was deep into my first Saturn Return Experience. It is a miracle that I survived. I changed my name during that time. It wasn’t really a change in meaning or vibration. Just a different frequency. Back then, I moved from Greek to Hebrew: from Staci Alison to Tchiya Amet. Both mean Rise Again Truth, which is the name of my first cd: Rise Again Truth. I wanted to honor my parents, so I simply translated into Hebrew.
Back in 2006, my first trip to Mexico was with Don Miguel da la Ruiz, the Master that wrote the Four Agreements for us. I later went on to write a song about them in Spanish:
During my time with him, I explained that although I really like my name, it feels like I am always dying and starting over and over, never really moving forward, continuous regeneration also means continuous death of something. He suggested that I drop the tchiya, and go by my middle name. At the time I thought, sounds perfect, but I had just changed my name to Tchiya 10 years prior, and had all of these reasons why I could ot. I tried a few times over the years to go by Amet, but it did not feel right.
Now, it has been an entire Saturn cycle of Tchiya and frankly, it feels like it does when your old car just won’t run anymore. As a friend once told me, “you can’t beat a dead horse.” This is how my life feels at the moment. I can keep going trying to patch up all the little things that are not coming together the way I want them to, OR, I can just up level, shift vibration and frequency and get into the flow, not necessarily going along with whatever, but fine-tuning with accuracy and precision, the vibration at which I truly desire to live out the rest of my life. And it certainly does not include fixing the life that i have been living for the past 28 years, because everything has changed since that moment in time.
Which brings me to The Music. It has been an excellent journey. However that journey has expanded and can no longer continue the way that it once was. Reggae has been wonderful for my consciousness, awakening, health, abundance, prosperity, even love. However, all of that has expanded too, and can no longer be contained or confined. So, although I will continue to write, sing, compose and enjoy reggae Music, I am no longer called to live at the standards of the Reggae Music Industry or even the Community. That vibration is now part of my past. In fact, has been that way for while now, I just did not know how to move forward, or where. The Future and the Present is ALL PURE LIGHT.
You may have noticed my music has moved into the genre of Devotional World Music. This features Original Roots Reggae of course, Reggae Fusion Jazz,. It also includes Ancient African Adorations, which consists of Kemetic (Ancient Egyptian) Chanting and Singing, Medicine Wheel Music/Native Reggae, even Live Cosmic Jazz Improv.
Speaking of which, on September 8, I had the excellent fortune of performing Live Cosmic Jazz Improv with SuRa and the Side Pocket Experience. This event takes place every second Saturday of the month at the Silver Room, and I will be there singing and chanting to their live expressions of love and joy. It is pure heaven in sound. If you dig Sun Ra, you will love SuRa!
What about Reggae Wellness? That is going to have to simmer awhile. Things were out of alignment with who I am today in this moment. That must be the priority. So, the first step is getting my practice in order. The renovations at the apartment building will begin soon, and so during this New Moon Phase, I will be working on the website for the LIGHT BEING WELLNESS CENTER AND WELLNESS PRODUCTS. KemeTones,org. HeruScopes.com, and tchiya.com will all be upgraded as well.
The final announcement for this New Moon is My Name. Yes, that is changing too. The vibration of the music has changed because I have changed so much, thanks to these past 4 years of intense healing, much letting go, lots of meditation and self care, etc. and it is time for my name to reflect this , and stop projecting the old energy and having the same experiences over and over again. Plus, I did not really change the vibration of my name, so it has been the same since birth. I will keep Tchiya Amet as the BRAND for my Reggae Music, and from henceforth, shall be known as Arit Neter S Mery Maati which means,
You can just call me Arit! LOL!!
This announcement/moved is in alignment with my upcoming trip to Kemet in October, for a Musical Initiation. One of the highlights will a visit to the Temple of Abu Simel, in Aswan, when the light shines on a statue of Ramses for 22 minutes. My research tells me that this is the actual date of the Equinox, instead of in September. And, the initiation will include offering a Concert on the Nile. You can learn more here:
If this is too much for you, or too weird, no worries, I will always answer to Tchiya, just as I still answer to my childhood name. Just wanted to let you know in case you are wondering…..LOL!!!
According to the Algonquin (Northeast to Great Lakes), Now is the Time of the Michee Eskos “When Indian Corn is Edible”. Since I am now living on a Great Lake, Lake Michigan, decided to honor a Nation from this area….with so much GMOs, I rarely eat corn anymore. So sad. I cannot believe all of the damages that Human Beings have allowed to go on, and continue. Next thing you know, they will produce corn with no kernels! LOL! or is that COL??? (Crying Out Loud)
First things first, some of the Portals Have Closed, ie,Retrograde Planets are now direct. You can catch up on all the Retro Action at these pages….

Dua Ra Sekhmet Dua Maat Sekhmet
Sun and Asteroid Pallas Athena on Sidereal Leo.
Direct your creative powers towards Healing. Let your Expressions courageously release and reveal deepest emotions and long-held limiting beliefs.
Dua Aset Dua HetHeru Aspolia
Asteroid Ceres and Venus in Sidereal Virgo: Divine Intuition IS the Divine Mother of ALL, let her guide you as you plant seeds of intentions in your Garden of Life. Serve your Highest Purpose, and no other.Remain Seated on Inner Throne, Remain Aware of your Divinity, no matter the appearance. Once you pull out the weeds of negativity, as in negative thoughts and emotions, you can appreciluv the Beauty of your Life.
Dua PiCheus Amun Maat Jupiter in Sidereal Libra. Maat Expansion, read previous post…
I have witnessed and observed Maat Expansion in my own life because I FINALLY began to TRUST. I have learned how to Turn On The Switch, and now everything is Illuminated and meat is Expanding in all directions.
Dua Vesta (asteroid) Imhotep/Ophiuchus
The Hearth, the Center, is HEALING. Let everything you do have at its core, your healing. Or helping someone else to heal. The Fire of Life, the Passion, is HEALING and PURIFICATION. Without this, you cannot move forward.
Dua Rephan Rx Dua Asar Rx Dua Set Rx PiMaere/Asar
All three of these planets have their portals open, still. Saturn, Pluto and Mars are all Retro and all in Sidereal Sagittarius. Rephan Asar: travel beyond limitations: physical, mental, creative. Get out of that comfort zone and find the peace amidst the chaos. Learn important lessons by dealing with obstacles. Saturn is the Teacher. School is in Session, especially if you are going through Saturn’s Return, and/or have Saturn in Capricorn (like me! LOL!!) . CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Nuk Pu Nuk Asar Asar: Pluto in Sidereal Sagittarius: Transitions, transformations, rebirth and renewal. Especially while this portal is open: what appears to be death or the end, is actually the beginning. As one life/journey ends, another is beginning. Leading to something even greater than imagined. Rather than focus on a particular event or desired outcome, take a step back, and acknowledge all that has been overcome and be grateful, this will allow you to open up to even more wondrous rebirth. Let go of attachment and open up to greater abundance and prosperity, This can o ly be achieved with trust.
Set Asar: The Ultimate Deception and Victory. Victory can appear in ways that you may not like, Reflecting on the Asarian Resurrection, Asar was killed by his brother, and redeemed by his son, thereby reborn. Asar represents the Soul, and Set represents the lower Ego. During this alignment, with portal opened, the some time to reflect on the ways that your lower ego zaps your energy, awareness, how it tricks you into slipping out of consciousness. Then reflect on what brings you back, what redeems your soul, what is your own savior, without looking outside of your self? What rejuvenates you, replenishes you? STAY CLOSE TO THIS! When I first began my yoga and spiritual practice, it was all about discipline, endurance, other peoples’ (class) schedules, etc. But now, it is more about what replenishes me, what rejuvenates me? Not so much about doing things every single day, but it IS about what tools I choose and knowing when and how to use them for my own benefit, for Wellness and Livity. Not just for the sake of keeping a schedule or getting an intense workout; It’s not about zoning out in an hour long meditation. IT IS ABOUT WHAT FEELS REALLY GOOD!!!! This is one form of the Victory of the Soul over Lower Nature (fears, anxieties, doubts, toxic emotions and thoughts, even toxic people!) Raising the Vibrations and Frequencies of Your Life.
Dua Djehuty (Full Moon) Dua NebtHet (Neptune) Rx KuUrKu Sidereal Aquarius
What is the Wisdom of this Full Moon? Indian Corn is Edible, so it is like a Harvest in some ways, This Full Moon is in the sign of Sidereal Aquarius. Pay attention to the knowledge and information gained during this time. This is information that you have been waiting for, and so now is the time for action. Recall the alignments of Aspolia: allow Divine Intuition to Plant Seeds of Intention, Seeds that will keep you on the Beauty Path. The knowledge and information you receive during this Full Moon is like a bag of golden seeds to be planted, leading to golden opportunities. This will lead to tremendous prosperity whenever you share your wisdom with others. Have no fear, you can and will be victorious over your fears with this bag of golden seeds…
NebtHet is standing by, to assist you in keeping this project in order. As Lady of the House, she also helps keep emotions in order. Do not allow emotions to cloud your judgement when the time to take action arrives. Remain focused on your purpose, which is To Be Enlightened, and use your gifts to help others to do the same.
(UPDATE 08-28-18: The Moon moved into PiCot Sahu (Sidereal Pisces) on the third night. Watch the youtube video for updated analysis and Ancient African Adorations (Chanting and singing)
Dua Chiron PiCot Sahu Rx (Chiron Rx in Sidereal Pisces)
This Portal is opened, and is about Healing Emotions from the past that still affect us in the now. Any healing work that you do in this area will be intensified and increased based on the effort and power you bring to the process. With Ra Sekhmet, Creativity and Healing is in Order. Chiron in Sidereal Pisces signifies time for deep self care and healing, with emphasis on releasing past emotions, concepts, ideals, the ones that no longer serve us. You know, those pesky little triggers that can go off anywhere, anytime? The next time, you are triggered, find a creative safe outlet for expression. Do NOT keep them bottled in! Do NOT lash out at anyone, especially not your self….
Dua Heru Rx Dua Juno Tamet Amon
Heru (Uranus Retro on Sidereal Aries) is already a Rebel, a Revolutionary, the Victor and Redeemer. It’s natural orbit is perpendicular to the rest of the Solar System. Being Retrograde, this portal is open wide to take bold daring steps and actions that you might not normally attempt. Or, new pathways will open up coming from unexpected sources, in ways that you never imagined possible. Do you have the courage, the will, the stamina, the steadfastness to go down this road that was selected for you and by you?? Juno is the goddess of marriage, commitment. Now located in Sidereal Aries, this is also a path of leadership, blazing a trail so that others may follow. Perhaps new relationship is opening up, give it some time to blossom, stop rushing things. Make time for building new, lasting relationships along the way, especially with One’s Self. Two Decades ago, I had the great fortune of traveling to Teotihuacan with don Miguel Ruiz and family for my first Pyramid Initiation. At the end of the week of amazing activities, there was a marriage ceremony: we each married our self. I still wear the wedding ring to this day. .
Dua Sedna Apis (Sedna Sidereal Taurus)
This alignment will be with us for a long time. This has been discussed at lengthpreviously, but in summary: Sedna is the Cosmic Force of Trauma and Assault, especially Sexual Assault. Being located in Sidereal Taurus indicates that this is a time for confronting revealing exposing the issues of rape culture that has the entire planet in its clutches. Like plowing the fertile seed for a new crop, all pedophiles, perpetrators, predators etc are being exposed and called out from their high places. There is still much more work to be done. We are thankful for the cosmic assistance.
In summary, Take heed of any wisdom, knowledge or information that comes to you during this Full Moon. Plant this information as if it was from a bag of golden seed, and watch what comes to fruition in due time. Remember the Edible Corn? All the hard woks and planning that you did are now ready for you to take a bite, and combined with the knowledge gained during the Full Moon, while several portals are still opened, this is a prescription that can propel you even higher and further. View all Creative Endeavors and projects as Healing, not just for fun or expression, but for tapping deeply into old, even ancient emotions that often pop up as triggers.
Portal Openings are Closing: Retrograde Season Winds Down during this Sekhmet Season. The Sun moved into Sidereal Leo a few days ago Dua Ra Sekhmet. An incredible month of creativity, healing, and warrior initiations.

Take inner actions to change outer reality
As most of these portals begin their closing phases, ie, go direct, it will feel the way it does at the end of Summer, with so many activities and special events, trying to get as much in before school starts and the weather changes. Well, that is how the intensity is showing up for us now. If you were being tested or receiving lots of “downloads” before, expect even more during these final days. Again, this does not necessarily mean “bad stuff” will happen. It means that now you have been through all of that training, your response will improve.When the shit hits the fan, you will rise higher, and feel lighter. Just flip on the TRUST switch and exhale. You have already let go of so much, you got this. By the end of August, things will have eased up a bit, providing for a period of smooth sailing until the next adversity appears to teach you another lesson. The Journey IS The Destination: ENLIGHTENMENT.
Elsewhere, where things continue to move forward….
Sesheta HetHeru Aspolia (Moon and Venus in Sidereal Virgo)
Writing about the Beauty in Life is like planting seeds of Beauty in the Garden of Your Life. Focus on what you want, not what you don’t want. Remember the power of the Goddess of Beauty, to tame her ego and remember her true nature, by listening to the Wisdom of the Cosmic Mind, instead of the Individual Mind.
Once these Rx phases have closed, will investigate the Paths of Djehuty again.
Truly Grateful and Enjoying Fully these Cosmic Sound Interpretations of the Movements of the Cosmic Forces, the perfect blend of HeruScopes, KemeTones and Ancient African Adorations, all bundled up in episodes from Good Rising TV. Finding ways to remain in alignment with the Neters is one of my passions.
Here is the video of new #DevotionalWorldMusic #WorldDevotionalMusic #AncientAfricanAdorations BE ENLIGHTENED DUA SEKHMET
It takes great courage to Trust, to Surrender to Divine Will, To Let Go of Attachments. To Be Enlightened. We can use the Energy of Sekhmet, The Life Force Energy, and the Will of hetHeru, The Power of the Life Force Energy to do this work. We absolutely MUST learn to MASTER these Cosmic Forces, not just know about them study them worship them, invoke them align with them, We must BECOME THEM.
One of my Beloved Teachers and Spiritual Guides has offered me much insight regarding the upcoming journey to Kemet for a Musical Initiation. Seba Dja, reminds me that any and all tools of spirituality, like oracles, tarot, divinations, readings, including Astrology, should never become a replacement for trusting one’s insight or Divine Intuition. That some people depend on tools like these and never learn to know or trust themselves. I find them to be very useful in maintaining order and awareness, like a natural energy GPS. I have dressed according to the planetary color of the Day, for decades, even choosing which foods to eat based on their color. I also use HoraWatch, an app that lets us know which planets/Cosmic Forces/Hindu gods and goddess are in exaltation and should be propitiated. She reminds me that even these tools must be let go of eventually. Even the Teachings! I only added that they are most useful and make life fun until one is ready to let go….
Anyway, in addition to learning more about being a Chantress in (Ancient/NOW) Kemet, during the pilgrimage in October, we will also investigate if, how and why, the Ancient People of Kemet used Astrology system, rather than only knowing of the Greek perspective and uses. HeruScopes uses Kemetic Archetypes and Mythology, whereas Western Astrology only takes the Greek Mtths into account. Same with KemeTones and Acutonics. If there is a more direct source or approach, I want to find it. Hetep.
Will not see it from Chicago. However, we will all experience the effects.
Letz First examine which portals remain open, ie, which planets are Retrograde. Rx
A Node is Rx, I don’t usually mess with that….
Djehuty Portal is open in Khepera, Sidereal Cancer
Transformative Knowledge and Communications
Rephan/Geb/Saturn, Asar/Pluto and Set/Mars are all Rx in PiMaere, Sidereal Sagittarius. Associated with the Cosmic Force of Amun by way of Jupiter.
Traveling beyond perceived limitations, experiencing rejuvenation and inner peace with all aspects of one’s being, embracing the perfection in ones imperfection, to the point where there is no more negative judgement of lower nature, because it has been purified.
NebtHet/Neptune in KuUrKu/Sidereal Aquarius
Passion Contained, Subdued
Chiron in PiCot Sahu/Sidereal Pisces
Healing ancient emotions.
Heru/Uranus in Sidereal Aries, Tamet Ammon
Victory over Lower Nature.
HetHeru/Venus is in Aspolia/Sidereal Virgo: Time to Plant Seeds of Love and Beauty in Your Garden of Life.
The New Moon is represented by Sesheta at HeruScopes, the Cosmic Scribe, the Goddess of Writing. Here is a hekau for Sesheta and Nut, from Chapter 19 of the Pert M Heru.
Sesheta is in the sign of Sekhmet, Sidereal Leo. Ra just moved in today, and now both share the location with Aset/Ceres, one of the Goddess Asteroids. At HeruScopes Sesheta and the Moon represent Writing to improve, develop, and bring about change and growth in ones character and personality. Being in Sekhmet, during an Eclipse, intensifies the Healing Aspect and Protective Power of this Celestial Event.
Writing that Manifests Healing, Protection and Transformation.
Sesheta was not only a Scribe, she was an architect, engineer, astronomer, etc. She worked with Sacred Geometry. She wrote Spells and Incantations. These are all great examples of what we can create with writing. What we can build. You can literally create the Life of your dreams by writing out your goals, or reading them out loud each day. Or by speaking into existence. It’s one thing to meditate and think about things, and another to take action and activate the energy, and manifest into existence and physical reality.
This New Moon Eclipse Time is yet another grand portal opening, into our collective creativity. Allowing our writings, studying and application of the teachings to bring about transformations in our lives, communities and the planet. Creating Change through our creative writings. Journalling, poetry, songwriting, playwriting. We can include all kinds of other arts, intentions, even magic, and turn our writings into tools and instruments for change.
With so much activity, whatever we initiate or activate during this time will propel us forward, like a slingshot, Things may appear to be going backwards, or in an unwanted direction, yet contains the ability to push further and farther then previously imagined. We must find a way to Trust and Remember that we are here to Be Enlightened.
Sun just Moved into Sidereal Leo TODAY! So we honor Dua Ra Dua Sekhmet.
Cosmic Forces of Creativity and The Healing Warrior. Writing that Manifests Healing, Transformation and Protection.
Tchiya Amet has launched her newest vehicle for sharing wisdom and healing with the birth of Good Rising TV. These online healing sessions include Astrology, Sound Healing, Chanting, Singing, with either Guided Meditation or Energy Clearings as time allows.These sessions are not even limited to Time and Space. So, whenever you are able to watch the replay, you will still receive the benefits. of course, it is not the same as being there live, but this is true for just about everything. Like listening to a musical recording is still very healing powerful and enjoyable, in it’s own way. Vastly different from attending alive performance. each one has it’s own unique benefits and qualities. Except of course for watching movies or experiencing illusions, these are best when the editing is all done!!! LOL!!
The sessions are spontaneous and impromptu. The only information that I have before the show begins is the chart. I also select the tuning forks ahead of time, that correspond to the chart. The analysis, healing sessions, chanting and singing, energy clearing, and guided meditation are all spontaneous, truly live. Created right on the spot.
Included in each session is a HeruScopes Analysis of the Moment. Each Planet and Constellation corresponds to a Tuning Fork and also to a Neter, a god or a goddess, Ancestor, or Cosmic Force. HeruScopes is a 13 Zodiac/13 Month Kemetic Sidereal Calendar, that is based upon the actual motions of the Sun and the Planets through the Constellations. The system we are most familiar with is man made, and is based on the orbit of the Earth around the Sun, not the Stars. Maybe we can call it Sunology or Earthology.
KemeTones utilizes Acutonics Tuning Forks, that are tuned to the planets and thereby, constellations as well. KemeTones is similar to Acupuncture, using sound instead of needles. Non-invasive healing modality that is in alignment with Cosmic Sound.
The next level is using the voice and hand instruments to awaken the Cosmic Forces within us, to align with the Celestial Order of the Day, with Chanting and Singing. Different songs for each cosmic force. Plus Spiritual Teachings and Insights, Current Events, Life Experiences, Wellness, etc. Expressing Gratitude, Devotion, and Love for the Divine. Devotional World Music. Ancient African Adorations.
If time permits, we close each session with either Guided Meditation, Energy Reading, or Both. The Energy Reading is called an Energy Flow Analysis. We identify a Block, and then take steps to remove it.
The sessions are currently recoded live @kemetones instagram live. The replays are then posted on youtube, and on Good Rising TV page. At times, audio is available. Even though astrology charts are used, the analysis are not limited to time and space. After the Celestial Event has passed, the healing energy created for that moment, can be listened to and experienced again and again. Each episode has a particular theme and title, and can be applied for particular uses and events. Guided by the Stars, and yet not limited by time and space.
Misty said to me “Dad, every time a rape victim comes forward to get justice they become the cause of the matter!” This was not the first time Misty was raped and harassed by an Executive/Producer/Director/Actor etc. And you know who you are!
She is wearing a Teal Blue Dress. Teal is the color for Sexual Assault Awareness. I don’t need to rewrite what has already been written. I have done what I do best, wrote a song about something that really touches my heart. So that something positive can be done with the pain. But before you hear the song, read more about Missing Misty Upham.
“Ellen Page today put out a statement about the humiliation she suffered at the hands of director Brett Ratner. Among the things she mentioned within her statement is the alleged rape of Misty Upham that her father Charles Upham posted about on Facebook on October 15.”
Here is his post:
The recent backlash with regard to Harvey Weinstein’s sexual allegations is blowing up like a NAPA Valley firestorm leaving a trail of victims in its wake. The smoke of this scandal can be seen through out the entertainment industry as many Hollywood insiders release a collective gasp. (Like you didn’t know this was going on!) The only thing bigger than the Weinstein media apocalypse is the hypocrisy that existed since the 1890’s when the casting couch, I mean movie camera was invented. Sure you now have found a sexual harassment poster boy in Weinstein that we can martyr to will ease the conscience of high society for a while. But this is not an isolated incident! This is an institutional problem that exists in in many Organizations and Corporate America including Religious Orders, Law Enforcement, Politics, Education, Federal, State and local Governments. The victims are not just women; they include men, elderly, mentally ill, children (male and female) of all races and even some animals.
My daughter, Misty Upham, was a victim of rape by a Weinstein Executive in 2013 at the Golden Globe Awards. The rapist forced her into the men’s room and had his way while other men in formal wear cheered him on as if he were chugging a beer in a contest. As Misty made the walk of shame back to the event, the Exec was given high fives, bragging rights and another notch in his Weinstein Co. belt. What should have been an auspicious occasion for Misty turned into a nightmare of pain, humiliation, fear and anxiety? Her mom and I pleaded with her to press charges since she still has the torn green dress she wore (Photo Above) with the DNA all over it. Misty was afraid to pursue charges because she knew Harvey Weinstein could protect his constituency and ruin her existence. Misty’s experience with Harvey Weinstein left her with the impression that he was a powerful man with many influential connections and could make people disappear. Once while riding in a limo with Quentin Tarantino, Harvey Weinstein and his assistant, somewhere between Salt Lake City and Park City, Utah, the assistant interrupted Weinstein and Tarantino’s conversation in a matter of urgent business; at which point Harvey Weinstein ordered the driver to stop and subsequently kicked his assistant out of the car in the middle of no where during a snow storm amidst subzero temperatures. Misty commented, “What if he freezes to death?” Weinstein retorted “ Somebody will come along and pick him up!” How could anyone expect a sincere investigation when the Weinstein’s company commander and chief is also a perpetrator? Misty said to me “Dad, every time a rape victim comes forward to get justice they become the cause of the matter!” This was not the first time Misty was raped and harassed by an Executive/Producer/Director/Actor etc. And you know who you are!
How many times have you heard the defense say things like: “She slept around with everyone.” or “She was smiling and flirting while being accosted!” or “She was dressed like a slut!” and “She knew what she was getting into but left with him anyway!” All of a sudden the rape victim become the blame in everyone’s eyes. This has been the trend now amongst Police Officers, Judges, Defenders even Prosecutors and witnesses alike. The rapist is not just a man thing either; this exercise of empowerment exists among every gender, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation and social class. The characteristic traits of these criminals are usually recognizable from childhood: A Bully, Socially Enabled, Possesses a Sense of Entitlement and Justified by partisan social circles. Sounds a lot like MANIFEST DESTINY (Google It). In many cases the crime becomes a matter of opinion and the rapist becomes the victim. It is no surprise that many rape victims stay silent. Most victims don’t report such crimes because they believe nothing will be done.
In the course of time the majority of the genders has developed a natural affection for the opposite sex or the same sex. In the ritual of courtship you may find yourself attending to your esthetic qualities in order to attract you mate. If this includes dressing provocatively, wearing makeup, flirting or even participating in a conversation that could lead to consummation. So what! That’s what people do! But nowhere in that ritual has the implied meaning been embedded that rape is ok. No means no! People are looking for a lasting relationship that is founded in love, trust and affection. Do you think a woman or her parents would want to have a relationship and have children with a person who raped her? Or would any parent brag on the fact that their child was best rapist in the family?
If Harvey Weinstein has become the poster boy of Sexual Harassment among the rich and powerful then Native American Women should exemplify the most disregarded rape victims in the Americas. According to the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA) Indigenous Women have the highest rates of uninvestigated violent sex and abuse crimes among women per capita. Federal government studies have consistently shown that American Indian women experience much higher levels of sexual violence than other women in the U.S. Data gathered by the U.S. Department of Justice indicates that Native American and Alaskan Native women are more than 2.5 times more likely to be raped or sexually assaulted than women in the USA in general. First Nations women in Canada and Native American women in Border States like Minnesota and North Dakota have become the targets of commercial sex trade with little or no intervention from law enforcement. An intrinsic effort on the part of victims and advocacy groups was necessary to raise awareness so that Judicial, Legislative bodies and Politicians would be shamed into action on the behalf of the Native communities.
I know there are many people that will turn a blind eye, wallow in apathy or even entertain the thought of joining the ranks of sex abusers. Before you do I hope you recognize the emotional harm, life long pain and humiliation that these type of crimes bring to their victims; before you have to learn your lesson by experiencing the same type of abuse in some prison cell yourself.
Now listen to the song Missing Misty Upham by Tchiya Amet
“My name is Misty Upham (age 12), and someday you will know that name as the best living Native American actress.”
…but 20 years later, with her star on the rise after having acted in films with the likes of Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, and Benicio Del Toro…and receiving an Independent Spirit Award nomination in 2008 for Best Supporting Actress (“Frozen River”)…her lifeless body was discovered at the end of a ravine in Washington State in 2014. She had battled depression and alcoholism in recent years, but what has remained puzzling is that her case has never been solved. Her father, Charles Upham, seeks to find answers in a documentary he’s producing and raising money for called “11 Days: The Search For Misty Upham”. #ColorYourVision

“TW: rape.
.
This is Misty Upham. She was a promising young Native American starlet who was allegedly raped at the 2013 golden globe awards by an executive from an infamous distribution company in the men’s bathroom, WHILE A GROUP OF MEN CHEERED HER RAPIST ON. She never came forward for fear of her career and her life. About a year later she went missing and was later found dead. It was ruled a suicide, even though the autopsy stated that the cause of death was several blunt force trauma injuries to her head and torso. Her name was not spoken at the Golden Globes this year, and I think it is important that people know who she is. This picture is from the night she was allegedly raped, she was wearing that green dress. She had the green dress at the time she disappeared. The dress had DNA evidence on it. #goldenglobes#timesup #jezebel#harveyweinstein#quentintarantino #mistyupham#sayhername @oprah #hollywood#weinsteincompany #rapeawareness#rainn https://www.cbsnews.com/…/juliette-lewis-misty-upham-feare…/
I am still in shock that the same week that I spoke out/posted about being raped by Neil Tyson, Misty was missing, and running for her life, because someone found out that she still had that teal blue dress with DNA specimens on it. Perhaps this is why I had to write the song. I know that it was given to me by one of Our Lakota Ancestors.
This is the page of the Equinox. These lyrics were written years ago when my daughters were studying the seasons at our Home School. You might recognize the melody, that classic tune by John Coltrane.
Day equals night
Night equals day
The World turns with a tilt
Spring or Fall it’s the Equinox.
Night equals day

WHAT IS THE EQUINOX?????
Oh, you mean Maat? Balance, Truth, Order, Harmony, Justice, Reciprocity, and Righteousness
John Coltrane was born on September 23, 1926 in Hamlet, North Carolina. As a child he played clarinet as well as alto saxophone. During his early years he played orchestral and march music rather than jazz. In 1943 he moved to Philadelphia and was in a Navy Band by 1945. He recorded and privately issued four songs in 1946. He began his jazz career with King Kolax but left in 1947 to play with Eddie “Cleanhead Vinson.” His first big gig was with Dizzy Gillespie’s Big Band in 1949. They broke up in 1950 but for the next year he worked with Gillespie’s quintet before returning to Philadelphia…..
The equinoxes. As the sun progresses eastward along the ecliptic, it crosses the celestial equator moving northward at the vernal equinox (spring [nothern hemisphere]) and again six months later moving southward at the autumnal equinox (fall[nothern hemisphere]). By definition, the right ascension – declination of the vernal equinox is (0h, 0º).
– Zeilik, M. & E. v. P. Smith. (1987). Introductory Astronomy & Astrophysics.
“The Sun is at its lowest path in the sky on the Winter Solstice. After that day the Sun follows a higher and higher path through the sky each day until it is in the sky for exactly 12 hours. On the Spring Equinox the Sun rises exactly in the east travels through the sky for 12 hours and sets exactly in the west. On the Equinox this is the motion of the Sun through the sky for everyone on earth. Every place on earth experiences a 12 hours day twice a year on the Spring and Fall Equinox.
After the Spring Equinox, the Sun still continues to follow a higher and higher path through the sky, with the days growing longer and longer, until it reaches it highest point in the sky on the Summer Solstice.” From solar physics
Autumn Equinox News
And while the Sun is lying directly above the Equator today, it has risen at the South Pole for the first time in six months!
LEAVES CHANGE COLOR
The official start of fall is the autumnal equinox, which occurs on September 23, 2007 at 5:51 am EST. This is when the sun crosses the celestial equator, making day and night essentially the same length.
When leaves appear green, it is because they contain an abundance of chlorophyll. There is so much chlorophyll in an active leaf that the green masks other pigment colors. Light regulates chlorophyll production, so as autumn days grow shorter, less chlorophyll is produced. The decomposition rate of chlorophyll remains constant, so the green color starts to fade from leaves. At the same time, surging sugar concentrations cause increased production of anthocyanin pigments.
Temperature affects the rate of chemical reactions, including those in leaves, so it plays a part in leaf color. However, it’s mainly light levels that are responsible for fall foliage colors. Sunny autumn days are needed for the brightest color displays, since anthocyanins require light. Overcast days will lead to more yellows and browns. from topix.com: why leaves change color in the fall
The beginning of the autumn season officially commences in September with the Autumn Equinox. As the sun enters the astrological sign of Libra, the hours of dayand darkness are equal to one another, just like the balanced scales of Libra itself. From this point of the year, with each passing day, the daylight hours become noticeably shorter and the weather starts to cool. Autumn is a season of shadows and a time of wanlight, but it is also a season of abundance, thanksgiving, and harvest.
Ancient people realized the importance of the sun to life on earth. In the time after the equinox, the sun appears to be growing weaker, losing its battle against the darkness. To help the sun regain its former strength, people held harvest festivals of light featuring torches and bonfires as an act of sympathetic magick to encourage the sun to return.
Autumn has always been our colorful season of reward. As the sun began to decline and its yearly job was finished, the people gratefully gathered in the field crops. The grains from the fields, the fruit from the orchards, and the vegetables from the garden were harto be safely stored away for winter. Everyone in the community was involved in the harvest, as folks needed to make sure they could gather in their crops before they spoiled or were ruined by inclement weather.
At the end of the harvesting, the people were worn-out but happy and looked forward to a celebration. No matter where on earth the harvest is celebrated, from mid-August throughout the month of September, there is a basic and profound magick in the hearts of all people as they gather around with friends and family to feast and to celebrate the abundance of the earth.
Autumn Equinox or Mabon?
A Harvest Festival No Matter How You Look At It
The word equinox actually comes from the Latin word aequinoctium, which means “equal night.” September, the seventh month of the Roman calendar, is taken from the Latin word “seven,” septem. In Gaelic the month is identified as An Sultuine, the month of plenty. In Welsh it’s called Medi, the month of reaping. The Anglo-Saxons called this month Gerst moanth, the barley month. Barley was thought to be the first grain grown in Britain.
The majority of magickal traditions do celebrate this second harvest festival of the year as one of the fruits and the late grains. All around us signs are everywhere in nature, hintof the shortening days and cooler nights to come. The leaves are beginning to turn and the birds are beginning to migrate south. Apples and many varieties of squash are ripe and ready to be harvested, and the grapes that were harvested just a few weeks before, in late August-early September, begin to be processed into wine.
Various Harvest Goddess Mythologies
Throughout the world, in many mythologies, a goddess of the grain, the harvest, and the good earth was venerated at the Autumn Equinox. This is not surprising, as the Earth itself is seen as a fertile mother, or Gaia. From this matriarch all life was born. She is a great mother goddess who was known by many names throughout time and in numerous cultures. Some of these names include Astarte and Ishtar (to the Sumerians), Isis in Egypt, Demeter in Greece, and Ceres in Rome. To the indigenous people of the Americas she was known as Old Woman Who Never Dies and the Mother of Maize.
The harvest mother, Demeter, was a Greek goddess of grain and the fertile earth. Her characteristic of being the “spirit of the grain” is well-known in many cultures as Mother Earth’s child. This child was represented by the seeds that fell from the mother plant, which would then be planted for the following year. Demeter would be visualized as the ripe crop of this year while her daughter, Persephone, would be the seed taken from it to be sown the following spring.
The spirit of these future crops could be seen as a daughter, a maiden (such as Perseor as a divine child. In Russia the child was simply called the Corn Baby. In Egypt the spirit of the grain was the goddess’s son, Horus. The Aztecs called the harvest goddess Chicomecoatl, while a goddess named Xilonen was Goddess of the New Corn. Her son was symbolized by the seeds and called the Spirit of the Corn. The Cherokees called the harvest child the Green Corn Girl.

ow is the time to prepare for the darker half of the year. A good time to finish our projects before Winter arrives. It is the half time where night and days are equal. Time for balance! Preparation time of new direction.
Blessed be this season of Mabon, time of the second harvest, the harvest of fruit and wine.
Tonight all things are in balance: Goddess and God, Life and Death, Light and Dark.
Tonight the darkness will conquer the light, leading us deeper into the waning year. [
Blessed Mabon

n Japan, September 23 is a national holiday, marked as Autumnal Equinox Day or Shubun-no-hi. Today the Japanese not just mark the changing of seasons, but also pay their respects to their ancestors.
SHUBUN NO HI/ HIGAN NO CHU-NICHI
The Japanese have traditionally called the period around the autumnal and vernal (springtime) equinoxes higan. Higan lasts for seven days – beginning three days prior to the equinox and ending three days after it. It occurs twice a year, once when the blustery winter temperatures give way to spring and again when the heat subsides and the cool, crisp air of autumn arrives.
The Japanese have a saying “Atsusa samusa mo Higan made” (“Heat and cold last until Higan”)
Higan has Buddhist origins. It means the “other side of the river of death.” This side of the river is the world where we live, and the other side is the realm where the souls of those who have passed away dwell. To pray for the repose of deceased ancestors, visits are made to the family grave.
Kati Bihu / Kangali Bihu
Tulsi PujaKati Bihu is also called Kangali Bihu (Poor Bihu). It is held on the last day of Aswin coinciding with the autumnal equinox. The Kati Bihu marks the completion of sowing and transplanting of paddies. At this time, paddy seedlings begin to grow. There is not much to eat at this time of the year. Accordingly the day is named Kahttp://www.indianetzone.com/1/bihu.htmngali Bihu. In the evenings, offerings are made to the `Tulsi` (Basil) plant in the courtyard. Little earthen lamps (`Diyas`) are lighted at the base of the Tulsi plant, for a whole month. Puja`s are offered to God for improved yield of crops.
The significance of this Bihu is more in the villages, where farmers go to their respective fields and light “Akash-Banti” or `sky-lamp` hanging from a tall bamboo, to ward off pests and other insects. Although, Bihu is observed in all parts of Assam, in Goalpara and Kamrup districts of lower Assam and in Darrang district of centt is also called Domahi here), it is not attended with dancing as in upper Assam.
The Kati or Kangali bihu is known as ‘poor’ bihu and held in the month coinciding with the autumnal equinox. The main function associated with this bihu is the worship of the sacred tulsi (basil) plant at the root of which earthen oil lamps are placed. For a whole month lamps are lighted at the foot of the tulsi plant. People pray for a better harvest for the coming year. http://www.explorenortheastindia.com/assam.htm
During this time of the year, the paddy in the fields are in the growing stage and the granaries of the farmers are almost empty. Thus it can be also referred as the empty bihu. The people fast during the day and in the evening offer prayers to the Tulsi plant and also in the paddy fields by lighting a diya (earthen lamp), with the hope that there is a good harvest and also to ward off any evil eyes. There is also exchange of sweets and greetings at this time.
both in Egypt and India, the Festival of Dewali is observed: Festival of Lamps

Equinox at Chitzen Itza
“Here’s How It Works:
Fall Equinox Shadows
At the precise time of the spring and fall equinox, the sun casts its rays on the balustrade, in turn highlighting a feathered serpent that seems to be moving or slithering its way down the steps. How the Maya managed to concentrate its energies in building a monument of incomprehensible scale to highlight the time of year when the hours of daylight and darkness are equal is extraordinary.
El Castillo stands as testimony to the Maya’s superiority as builders and mathematicians. The surfaces are massive, detailed, and sharp. The sophisticated Mayan calendar is incorporated in the architecture of this structure. For example, the number of steps on each of the four sides is 91, adding up to 364, which together with the top platform equals the number of days in a year. On the days of spring and fall equinox, the edge of the shadow from the sun, falls exactly on the corner of the pyramid, leaving one side in total sunlight and the other in total shadow. This always provides the shadow on the balustrade which takes on the appearance of slithering snake.
From mexicolesstravelled.com
On September 22 you can witness the incredible accuracy of Mayan astronomy as it was integrated into architecture.
The Mayans planned their lives around the sun; their daily lives centered on the sowing and harvesting of their crops, especially corn. At the fall equinox they harvested the crops while the spring equinox (March 21) was their signal to plant the crops. The Mayan built complex structures using advanced geometry and astronomy to map the cycles of the sun.
The equinox phenomenon can actually be viewed in Chichen Itza on the El Castillo pyramid for up to four days, so if it is raining or cloudy or you just can’t get there, it is visible from the 20th – 24th. During the equinox the sun casts its rays on the pyramid, forming seven isosceles triangles that resemble the body of a serpent 37 yards long slithering downwards until it joins the huge serpent’s head carved in stone at the bottom of the stairway. It is said this snake is trying to make its way to the Sacred Cenote well of sacrifice which is in a straight line from the pyramid.
At the Mayan site of Dzibilchaltun, September 22 at 5 AM is the official day and exact time of the fall equinox when the sun sends its beams through the two windows of the Temple of the Seven Dolls providing a lovely spectacle of Mayan exactitude.
Dzibilchaltun is located 20 km north of Merida and while it doesn’t have the giant pyramids of Chichen Itza and Uxmal, it does have its own special claims to fame such as its museum of the village, Museo del Pueblo, the refreshing cenote where you can take a swim and the Franciscan chapel that blends in with the ruins.
During the fall equinox, you must get there early if you want to see the Equinox at Dzibilchaltun – it is at 5 AM. In Chichen Itza the equinox is at sunset, so you can actually see both in one day. In Dzibilchaltun, it can only be seen on the exact day – September 22 at sunrise.
During sunrise and sunset on the Autumn equinox in Mexico (22 September), the Mayan pyramid at Chicen Itza casts a large shadow in the shape of feathered serpent god Kukulkan onto the North staircase, as rays from the sun play upon the edges of the pyramid’s elaborate terraces.
The greatest standing monument of the Mayan civilisation, Chichen Itza also displays the advanced intelligence of the Mayans, who built the Temple of Kukulkan to mark the solstices and equinoxes in a truly unique way that must be seen to be truly appreciated.
Beyond the light and shadow works, the 90 foot high pyramid at Chichen Itza is also a repository of information on one of the most interesting civilizations in South America.
Today, Chichen Itza is a historical site of great importance, and the Mexican pyramid was recently voted by people around the globe as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Mike Nelson’s Colorado– Cave Markings Seen Only On Spring, Fall Equinox
Cave Lights Up To Reveal Rare Markings On Spring, Fall Equinox
Deb Stanley, 7NEWS Producer, Avid Hiker and Colorado Junkie
POSTED: 7:46 pm MDT March 20, 2007
UPDATED: 12:01 pm MDT August 8, 2007
The spring Equinox was marked by something unique in far Southeastern Colorado on a foggy March morning.
Markings inside a cave lit up at sunrise for a short time. It is believed the markings were carved into the rock face more than 1,000 years ago. They were discovered in 1976.
There are three panels and they only light up for eight to 12 minutes two days a year — the spring and fall equinoxes.
The cave is in Picture Canyon on the Colorado/Oklahoma border in the Comanche National Grasslands. There is a natural separation in the sandstone that formed a cave known as Crack Cave.
Although it’s a mystery exactly how these markings were placed here, it is certain that these inscriptions, in conjunction with the rays of the sun striking them, precisely mark the equinox.
The cave is locked to prevent vandalism. It is only opened on the equinox in the spring and fall. For more information on when the cave will be open, contact the Springfield office of the Commache National Grassland at 719-523-6591. For more information on Crack Cave, Picture Canyon, and the area, click here.
Fall equinox occurs around September 21. The sunpath is crossing the celestial equator (as it does at both equinoxes), about to enter the constellation Virgo, the Virgin, having left its late summer constellation Leo. Day and night are (as in spring) once more equal in length. From now until winter solstice, days will shorten and nights lengthen. http://www.kstrom.net/isk/stars/starkno4.html
Ancient and modern sun-in-zodiac. For those curious about the effects of time on the ancient science of astrology, which (thousands of years ago) was also astronomy. As usual, the heavy dashed line represents the plane of the ecliptic.
I have previously shown how the precession of the equinoxes, the 26,000-year cycle through which the earth’s polar axis sweeps a double-cone in the sky, changes the sun’s apparent path through the stars as the earth’s rotational axis changes orientations over long periods of time. The astrological constellations of the zodiac, and their relation to the sun’s path over a year were known more than 2,000 years ago (about the time the Lakota star-determined ceremonial times must have been established). This chart shows the time relationship of the old constellation-positions (which are still used as astrological birth-signs) to the present-day ones. My “sign”(according to those newspaper horoscopes) is Taurus. But in reality, on my birthdate, the sun was just entering the Pleides (not an astrological constellation).
So all those birth-date horoscopes are a month off. If you’re a fan of those little newspaper horoscopes, maybe you should try reading the one given for the month after your birth! But . . . it’s not exactly even months. Because star time differs slightly from sun time, the sun is “fast” for most of April, May, and about half of June; and again most of September, October, November, and most of December; the other months (and parts) it’s slow.
Because of this effect, the days on which the length of day and night are exactly equal, called the equilux, occur a few days before the spring equinox and a few days after the autumn equinox. This date will vary depending on where on Earth you are, and indeed equiluxes do not occur at all close to the equator, whereas the equinox is a fixed instant in time.
Twilight
But the story doesn’t end there. Even on the days of equilux, the sky will have been bright for some time before the first rays of the Sun hit you, and will remain bright for some time after the last rays disappear from view. This time of day is called twilight, starting at dawn and ending at dusk.

First, the Good News! Had an amazing weekend. here are some photos….will have video very soon….
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Special Thanks to Gagan Hunter for photography, video, and help with booth operations and pyramid set up. Special Thanks to Andre Jonson for assistance with program concept and production. Special Thanks to Justin Crellin for such an amazing opportunity. Special Thanks for Pat and Eddie Lincoln for transportation.
now for the harsh realities. Not sure if my pondering about events following previous 2 appearances at Reggae had anything to do with this, but here goes….
Turns out, there were several instances of this during the course of the weekend. I even heard that the issue was addressed from on stage, that there needs to be more respect of women. I am asking for your help right now. Help us to identify and nail this creep. Get him off the streets and away from Innocents. Women, Children. Elders, etc. Help me get this disgusting image of his face out of my mind and onto paper. I completely froze, which is understandable based on my history. But now, I have the opportunity to turn things around. This pervert came to my booth 2 times before, so I know exactly what he looks like, how he sounds. etc,. why didm’t I scream? why didn’t I report to the authorities? why didn’t my boyfriend? TRAUMA.
His name is Mike or Kevin. He is short, dark skinned. Bald. wears glasses or sunglasses. Comes from Nigeria or Ghana, living in Boston with heavy British/Boston accent. was wearing a green t shirt and shorts. very cocky, arrogant bastard. Was volunteering at a friend’s booth, not sure if it was a non-profit booth. wanting to remember what kind of booth it was. came to my booth once in morning, and he even watched my booth while I went to get my cell phone that had been charging at press tent.
Then he came back while I was giving a woman a sound healing treatment. he put his hands on my back and his female friend told him to stop, to leave me alone because I had a client. he told her that he and I went way back (not true! only met him that morning!) and that it was cool??? Then I told him that I was busy and to come back in 20 minutes. He claimed he wanted to buy some oils and a cd.
When he returned a few hours later, he walked right past my boyfriend who was seated in front of merchandise , right behind me, and proceeded to place one hand on my left breast while other hand headed into my vagina. I raised my hands up, said WHOA and stepped back. I froze for what seemed an eternity. Hands still raised, mouth dropped wide open, eyes bulging. heart pounding. When I was about to tell him to leave, still seated, my boyfriend calmly began to speak with him. This shocked me even more, and traumatized, turned to go work on next client. Kept silent, not wanting to make waves or embarrass boyfriend.
Next day, a friend told me that I need to speak with the boyfriend about what happened. We did, and this led to us breaking up. Some friend! when I called to him today for support, all he could do is tell me that his video had gotten up to 93,000 hits? Ironically, these are the same two people that helped me with my performance and booth operations over the weekend….
Anyhow, I am shocked, as usual, as how insensitive some folks can be. asking me what did I do to attract this? why didn’t I give a signal that I was in danger? That is like asking a car accident victim why they did not drive themselves to the hospital!
I had my first Tae Kwon do Class today. If this ever happens again, or if I see it happening, the pervert will end up in jail, hospital or the morgue. HOTEP. I am grateful for this Reggae on the River Experience to guide me further along the path of healing self and entire planet. Let’s re-connect in November….
