This is a very interesting article, because it deals with first base that unfortunately some men take to mean home run. Even at my age and after all I have experienced, even saying “take it slow”, “I really like you, but lets wait til we get to know each other better”, “let’s go to couples counseling before going further,” things can still go too fast. Even if you say “not now”, the very thing you do not want, is what you get. Then you are stuck with trying to transform this violation into a relationship. But in reality, it was a violation. It will always feel like a violation. No matter how much you like the person, no matter how pleasurable, it was still against your wishes…. and can never give you a real relationship.
What do we as women have to do before our feelings wishes intentions are heard and respected? Obviously keeping women covered from head to toe does not make things better. Why does kissing, dancing, affection, a conversation, an energetic connection or attraction, a glass of wine or a beer, a glass of water, give a man the right to TAKE what could eventually be offered with love, integrity and consciousness? Why is this behavior accepted tolerated and yet not discussed? Why are people looking forward to movies where this scene is played out over and over but not addressed in society? Why are rapists in public office? Making movies? Running planetariums and talking about the Cosmos on television? Because we live in a #rapeculture . Because the average person is addicted to violence and enjoys the privilege of convenience that comes about due to the suffering of others. Because the average spiritually enslaved person is so jaded, so disconnected from Spirit that they are able to block out the pain of their global family members. Do we need to take a witness or a referee when we decide to be alone with a man?
Basically, we go against ourselves in that moment out of fear of what that boy will do if you actually punch him or kick him or just keep saying no. He could get angry, or stop talking to you altogether. If he is not hearing you, then maybe you go along with it so that he will stop HARASSING you, or might you get raped, or end up dead. Sometimes after reporting rape, especially if it was by a celebrity, it gets much worse and you end up dead at the hands of authorities trying to keep you silent like #MistyUpham. Or maybe you just accept a glass of water, with no interest in sex or affection, and because you have been rendered unconscious, are not even in a position where you can say, ” No way in hell do I want to have sex with you. You are ugly and gross. Do not touch me.”
I want you to see that it only takes one second to go from “Not Tonite” to DEAD ON ARRIVAL, because we cannot control men once the monster in them has been activated. This is what needs to change, from birth, we need to raise boys to be Actual Men, not predators. But these days, sexual predators control every aspect of the game in this rape culture. For Women, there is nowhere to run. Fortunately in this day and time, for Rapists and Sexual Predators, there is nowhere to hide either.
Who is the Blue Lotus and why does she speak? The Blue Lotus is the Collective Consciousness of All the Sadness and Sense of Loss from The Womb that holds the memories and stories of My Bloodline and all of My Past Lives. It is the Voice of ALL Wombs that know violation. She is Speaking because she can no longer carry the pain and it must be released. This Voice, This Song must be heard. She sings in Ancient Tongues and Languages. She brings Healing and Consciousness that becomes the Oneness. Hotep

2. “Atum repulses the obstruction of these fetters. My mouth is opening now. As for Shu, he opened the mouth of the gods and goddess with the iron harpoon of heaven.”
From the Pert M Heru
Book of Coming Forth by Day, pg. 210
by Dr. Muata Ashby.
Opening of the Mouth symbolizes the initiate’s special memory of being one with the Divine.
“If the mouth is bound, there is no memory of the True Self because there is no expansion of consciousness, The mouth is the mystical symbol of consciousness.” from the gloss on pg. 211 Dr. Muata Ashby
This means that during the Ip New Moon, Ra is still expressing harmony and balance. This will help us tremendously as we continue our journey towards our manifestation of establishing Maat upon the Earth. Ip is the shortest month of this calendar system, as it is only 7 days long. On Novemebr 30, we move into Imhotep (Ophiuchus), the 13th constellation along the Ecliptic that is an integral part of the HeruScopes system.
What can we expect to experience this week? And what are some ways to observe the New Moon?OPENING OF THE MOUTH! CONSCIOUSNESS,AS WELL AS SPEAKING UP AND SPEAKING OUT. SING A NEW SONG!I
The New Moon is an excellent time to make a list of intentions for the coming moon cycle/. Even if you do not see them manifest by the upcoming full moon, you can best believe that they WILL manifest by the next full moon, or the one after that! Just be sure to hold the space, onto the vision you had when you made the intention. There are so many ways: planting seeds, making a vision board, or mind movie, writing a list and burning the list in the fire. As this new moon is still in Maat, I am going to try something different this Moonth. let’s see…..hmmm, I will keep you posted when the results manifest at the full moon.
Maat is Balance, Truth, Order, Harmony, Justice, Reciprocity and Righteousness. Ip represents our desires, our truest and purest heart’s desires.
Ra Maat
Creating balance by illuminating where there is darkness and ignorance,
beaming brightly from within the light of justice and truth.
This has been so true for me all month, in so many ways, that I can hardly write them all down. The words of my song, AST MAAT are ringing in my head right now, asking the question,”Am I Sirius Enuf?”, to maintain these standards of integrity, this lifestyle, to hold this space for the Light?
Aset is in our hearts and only needs to be revealed.
Ra moves into the sign of Ip on November 23. For just 7 days, we have the opportunity to be creative with our desires, and enhance the process of manifestation that was begun duringg Aspolia, when we planted Seeds of intention for the year. As this transition occurs right after the New Moon, we have the extra power of New Beginnings to help us. LIke starting over again, AGAIN!
Sesheta Ra
Ip Sesheta
This alignment suggests that One’s desires are to be brought into alignment with the Divine. This would be an excellent time to start writing in a journal, as Sesheta is the Female Scribe. Our mind and emotions, energy in motion, are ruled by the Moon. Our desires are symbolized by the Scorpion. For a brief moment, both Ra and Sesheta are vibrating with Pure Desire. Let’s tune into this frequency.
Selket
The New Moon is the time for New Beginnings. This is also an excellent time to write out your new moon abundance checks.
November 22: New Moon
November 23: Ra Ip
November 29: First Quarter Moon
November 30: Ra Imhotep
December 6: Full Moon
December 14: Last Quarter Moon
December 18: Ra moves into Pi Maere
Djehuti Maat until end of November. Ip is next. Even though Ra is moving on, this is still an excellent time for expressing truths and speaking out against injustice and An Maat (unrighteousness), just as at the time of this post, more and more women are speaking out against sexual assault cases involving Bill Cosby. When Djehuti Ip arrives, will be about expressing one’s desires.
HetHeru Ip for 2 more days, then onto to Imhotep. 2 more days of the Beauty Path of Desire. Then the Journey along the Beauty Path of Self Care and Healing begins. This is an excellent time to begin that health care practice, sign up for that yoga class. Start running, or initiating a fast. Whatever it is that you have been putting off, this is a very auspicious time to begin, during the New Moon.
Set/Muruga Pi Maere, the Archer until first week of December. Then Hupeneius. Put your focus, direct all of your energy towards your goal during this time. With accuracy and intensity. You will reach your destination. at the Full Moon, right around the time Set moves into the next sign of Hupeneius. Representing the manifestation. Revolution, tenacity,
PiCheus Sekhmet for rest of month and beyond. Wisdom and Expansion in the areas of healing and the life force energy.
RaPhan Maat learning lessons in life by either aligning with Maat, or going against Maat. There are 2 Roads in Life, which one will Humanity choose?
Heru PiCot Sahu Making efforts and taking courageous action to save water: What should be our most cherished resource on Earth, is sadly, our most misused. Both Emotions and Higher consciousness are activated and utilized for the highest good.. Even going so far as taking heroic stance against corruption.
NebtHet
NebtHet KuUrKu Outpouring of truth, wisdom and healing. Creating Order, Maintaining Order.
Again, I am reminded of the women that are choosing to speak out against sexual assault. Be mindful of the possibility for deception and betrayal. This transit will last until 2022, and then PiCot Sahu, so we may be hearing more about this issue for quite sometime….
NebtHet is symbolized as a vase or vessel, KuUrKu is symbolized as a human pouring out water from a vessel….
Asar Pi Maere Through Mid-December and beyond.
Transformation is achieved through expansion, beyond any preconceived notions, opinions, limitations, or beliefs.
Chiron KuUrKU Self healing through the power of water. How ironic: the water that can heal we the people is the thing the corporations enjoy destroying the most. This is the time to heal the water and to protect the water. Now is the time to learn and gain knowledge from the water. Chiron is in the sign of KuUrKu until December 25, then moves into PiCot Sahu, another watery sign. During this time, emotions , energy in motion, can be healed and purified, with water, and vice versa. Yes, remembering the work of Dr. Emoto and the effect we can have on water.
Sedna
Sedna Apis Sedna is the archetype for survivor of assault and family violence. Turning poison into medicine. Sedna: represents overcoming Trauma and betrayal through self love and forgiveness. Fortunately, with the energy of Apis, we are loved, nurtured, adaptable, eloquent, and establishing value. WE have along time to work with this energy, so let’ do this! All the signs are pointing to this time as being the time for facing and heralding from sexual assault. Find a way to transform the predominant culture from a rape culture to a healing culture. This is what Imhotep/Ophiuchus is all about: a shift in humanity towards natural healing and confronting and conquering our lower sexual nature. NOW IS THE TIME!!!
“Here is what Dr. Kathleen Jenks says about Sedna. “When victimization moves to the goddess-level as it does with Sedna, (it) signals us that there’s an extra depth of compassion for the abused. It also tells us that this goddess-archetype has the wherewithal to make a difference and empower that person whose (planets) are resonating with Sedna’s sphere of power. Sedna may come to represent an extreme terrain of the unconscious, one where issues of power, authority and respect for life do not separate from a respect for oneself.”
Sedna was discovered on November 14th, 2003 at 17 Taurus 58. Hapi Anniversary!!!!
ASTEROIDS: raising awareness of the Divine Feminine Principle.
Aset/Ceres in Imhotep until December 30: The Divine Mother is the Ultimate Healer and Nurturer.
Maat/Pallas Athena in Uraeus/ Serpens, until Mid-December: dealing with one’s sexual nature, health. The serpent also represents the twin goddesses, Aset and Nebt Het. There is so much symbolism with the Uraeus, that I cannot go into right now…The Uraeus is associated with the energy of Virgo due to the proximity. Balance in consciousness of the material realm and the spiritual realm. Being aware of both realities at the same moment.
Juno is in another serpent, the water serpent, Hydra!
More messages and confirmation that this is a time of healing from sexual assault, and obtaining Justice in the process.
Vesta: Imhotep now, then moving into Pi Maere on November 27. Now is a good time to work on healing relationships, or healing from them. When we move into PI Maere, the energy will shift towards expansion, travel, leadership, etc. Becoming more goal oriented as well.
With Ra, HetHeru and Sesheta aligned in Maat for a few more days, we can experience the balance just a litlttle bit longer before Ra enters Ip for 7 days. Will be joined by HetHeru and Djehuti. At beginning of December, we will find Ra, HetHeru and Aset/Ceres all in alignment in the sign of the healer, Imhotep. Emotions, Violation, Healing, Transformation, Water, which represents the divine feminine. All the forces and issues are in our favor. All things are coming into alignment, everything is illuminated. It is a matter of activating them within us, and living with the awareness. At HeruScopes, all the signs are pointing towards a cycle in time of women speaking out against, as well as healing from, sexual assault, and domestic violence. Individually, collectively, and worldwide. Can you imagine this? If you can see it with your mind’s eye, and feel it with your heart, soon, you can see it manifest on the physical world as well. The New Moon in Scorpio, Sesheta Ip, is wonderful time to initiate a new strategy, a new plan for dealing with sexual assault and domestic violence. Most importantly, the time has come to END THE SILENCE, END THE VIOLENCE.
from Star Signposts NOTE: the sidereal astrologer at starsignposts.com does NOT recognize Imhotep/Ophiuchus. This is the cause of much discrepancy in readings and in life! HTP.
Sat Nov 22
This New Moon is taking place in the early degrees of sidereal Scorpio, a sign that calls forth our depth, our hidden shadows, our ability to die to our former selves so we may be perpetually reborn anew. Embrace and allow for that natural transformation that defines this season each year to occur. Don’t try and stop it. You can’t anyway. Appreciate what you are harvesting and be grateful for what you can gently release and complete by the coming Winter Solstice on December 21. This year, miraculously, the next New Moon will occur on Solstice, launching 2015. Right after today’s New Moon, which occurs in the morning hours, the Scorpio Moon will align with both Venus and Ceres. This is a giant portal of deep feminine wisdom bathing our Earthly paradise. If we will do our very best to care for Earth, we will continue to fed by Earth and all her animating presences. Though some of you may be tired at years’ end, with the help of today’s Scorpio influence, you can dig deeper and discover new reserves of will and desire to keep you from giving up. Exciting times ahead. Rest, release, anticipate the resurrection energies of 2015.
Sun Nov 23
There’s a fabulous sky triangle of watery energy today which can make for amped up emotion, cooperation, sharing deeper feelings, crying happy tears. The investigative Scorpio Moon trines family oriented Jupiter in Cancer and trines South Lunar Node which honors the history we came from. This would be a great day to dig out the family photo albums and share stories, and share it all, both the light and shadow that comes with each lineage.
Mon Nov 24
You may wake up trying to obsessively pry some confession out of your beloved or just want to discuss something deeper. That’s because Mercury is now entering the terrain of Scorpio. Overnight, the emotional Moon aligned with focused Vesta, so you perhaps you couldn’t get some thought/feeling out of your mind, going over and over the same useless line of thinking. Now that you are awake, use these same energies to consciously redirect your thinking in a more positive direction.
The most important thing for you to know and remember about HeruScopes is this:
YOU ARE THE HERU, THE HERO/HEROINE IN THE MYTH OF YOUR LIFE. The Neteru are Cosmic Forces, just like gravity, magnetism, electricity. Once you become aware of the forces of Nature/Neteru and align with them you can accomplish whatever you desire, as long as your desire is in alignment with Maat, with Truth. This means that even though your ancestry may be from Turtle Island (North American, Native, etc), these forces still exist within you. THey are in our DNA. Your tradition may refer to them by a different name, but when you look closely, you will see the vibration is the same. NIUK PU HERU. I AM Victorious.
Dua Sesheta Ip. Hapi New Moon in Sidereal Scorpio: May your wishes, prayers and intentions that are for the highest good of All That Is, come true!
ASHE! AHO! NAMASTE! AND SO IT IS! FOUR DIRECTIONS.

Office of Equity Concerns

173 W. Lorain St., Room 201
Oberlin, OH 44074
To Whom It May Concern at Oberlin College:
This is a Statement of Impact on the Life of Staci Alison Hambric Vela, who at one time in her life, was
an undergraduate student there, from 1979 until 1983.
When I arrived at Oberlin, I was still a very sheltered young woman. By the time I left, my self
confidence had been destroyed, and I had a distrust of men that I had no idea how to even begin to
describe. It is hard to recall the good things about my years there, and one day, I pray that they are
more important to me than the events I am about to describe for you…..
One day during my sophomore year, a freshman student that was from South Africa, cornered me in
my room, wanting to have his way with me. I was still very much virgin, and really had no idea what
was actually happening. I chased him out of my room with an umbrella. I went to the Dean of
Students to make a report. He told me not to say anything about this. The student would be sent back
to his country and be stoned or else he would be exiled and never allowed to see his family again.
LIke a good girl, I did what I was told and remained silent. This horrible guidance haunts me to this
day. Set me on a journey of self hatred, low self esteem, and inability to speak up for myself.
The second event of sexual harassment involved a professor in the Physics department. Prof.
Weinstock. I was having a difficult time in his class, so private tutoring sessions were scheduled.This
was a series of incidents, progressing first with him wanting to molest me, then next session to kiss
me, then for me to kiss him. I ran out of his office after this third and final visit. I was worried because
I needed his class to graduate with my degree. The department head at that time, Joe Palmieri, in my
mind, is just as evil as the perpetrator, because I know that he has covered up for this man before. He
told me that Prof. Weinstock was about to retire, it would ruin up his reputation, and “it would kill his
poor wife Betty”. He cared not how this would ruin my life. I did nothing wrong. I wanted to do well in
my class. It was arranged so that I could take the class during a summer session at the University of
Chicago. It wasn’t the math, because when I took the same class at U of Chicago during the summer,
that professor couldn’t see what the trouble was. I wish that I had transferred to U of C then instead of
finishing at Oberlin! LOL!
When I experienced sexual assault at the hands of a student and sexual molestation from a professor
that I was getting tutoring from, I report these incidents to the Dean of Students as well as the Physics
Department chairman at the time, Joseph Palmieri. BOTH TIMES, I WAS INSTRUCTED TO REMAIN
SILENT BECAUSE IT WOULD RUIN THEIR LIVES AND KILL HIS POOR WIFE BETTY.
WHAT ABOUT MY LIFE? MY LIFE WAS RUINED.
Do you recall the murder that took place on the campus in 1983? Grace Austin; Sean Culmer. They
were both good friends of mine. I was the last person to speak with both of them before the event. My
photograph from earlier that night was crucial proof of pre-meditated murder. I had to go back to
Oberlin, during midterms at UT, for the murder trail. He killed her because she broke up with him.
These three events defined my years at Oberlin. Unfortunately, they shaped and affected my life for
the next 31 years. There was no counseling offered, no support whatsoever. Even though these
events were 31 years ago, because they were left unresolved, it still feels like it just happened. In
some ways, I have been stuck there…. I am fighting to get past this moment in time…
And so I am writing to you today to inform you of the impact these incidents have had on my life. Which is
my right as a survivor of sexual harassment, assault and abuse. From what I have gathered, it is wise
that I did NOT go to the police or any campus office that was supposedly there to protect me.
From what I have read, things have not gotten better at Oberlin, they are worse.
They are worse because now there are systems in place to help victims, but it appears they are t
here to protect the perpetrators, especially when their family donates 1 million dollars for a new jazz building.
Ironically, Oberlin was the first private institution of higher learning to admit and graduate both blacks and women. And now, it has the third most sexual assault cases on campus.
When I arrived at UT Austin, the sexual abuse/harassment/assault worsened. I will say that I feel the
treatment that I received while a student at Oberlin set me up for a pattern that would replay itself
throughout my life, until I finally started to get help with PTSD in 2006.
After I withdrew from grad school, I attracted a horrible partner that eventually beat me up pretty
badly. I filed a report, but these events have left huge emotional scars.
Now, the years of doing nothing have caught up to me. I had no idea about the physio and
psychological affects these things can have on one’s body and emotional state. I projected my anger
onto my innocent husband, and after 20 years of marriage, we separated, and are now divorced. He
refuses to pay me the settlement that he offered, agreed to, and even signed for. My oldest daughter
has not spoken to me in 4 years, angered by the fact that she had to endure my undiagnosed PTSD
for her entire life. There, that is my sob story in a nutshell. Perhaps these events did lead to my
withdrawal the first time. I never really thought about it until a few years ago. I could not understand
why I was so unhappy when I was living my dream of having a family, playing music, staying at home
with my children.
I have been wanting to speak out for almost a decide now, since I realized I that I am a trauma
survivor, but have also been living with fear and shame. I cannot live like this any longer. Especially
now that this topic is everywhere in the news. Even Barack Obama, the President of the United States, is addressing sexual assault and harassment on college campuses. I want to see to it somehow that even people like myself, that take years or even decades to heal, can receive support from the community. There was no support
for me then, and there is no real support for me now. One of the perpetrators from my grad school days is now a pubic figure now, and this is another reason I am speaking out: to protect the world from such an evil being. It is
also the reason that it has taken me so long But he is in the media daily now, and so I am triggered daily as well.
Camille Hamlin Allen serves as a cover up agent for the filth that continues to occur on campus.
When I was graduating, there was a murder on campus, and I received no counseling, no help,
just a plane ticket to the murder trial during my first midterms at grad school. All of these things happened at same time; and Oberlin College FAILED.
Launching a task force is a great idea and smart political move, but what about the women and men,
that have already been affected? where is there an offer to pay for much needed counseling? financial
support while putting together the pieces of ones life while healing? My life was completely shattered by these
events, and I am here to hold YOU accountable for your actions as well as for your lack of actions.
Peace, Justice, and Truth

John walked up to me, grabbed my breast then walked away. In front of everyone. DOODLEBUG was sitting right next to me. When I went to tell Mario, he said that John had already explained and that I was making a big deal out of nothing. WE HAD A HUGE FIGHT IN THE ALLEY?? DO YOU RECALL?????
John’s sister later contacted us and told us that John had been arrested for being a peeping tom and had actually entered one lady’s apartment. ENDING THE SILENCE. NO LONGER PROTECTING THIS BULLSHIT COWARDICE BEHAVIOR.

Tchiya Amet El Maat, which means, Rise Again Truth of Maat
What a difference one moment can make. can change a life for ever. end relationships. exposes truths and weaknesses. empower or ruin lives. I am choosing empowerment. I am choosing to end silence and end violence. Never once imagined that Reggae on the River would be connected to the Blue Lotus Speaks….
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….
Looking for a CRIMINAL SKETCH ARTIST. Well, if you know of this pervert, please contact DEPUTY GOMES AT HUMBOLDT COUNTY SHERIFF OFFICE: 707-445-7251. END THE SILENCE, END THE VIOLENCE. KNOW JUSTICE, KNOW PEACE. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE. TCHIYA AMET EL MAAT
Djehuti Maat until end of November. Ip is next.
