There is an ancient Celtic tale that speaks of a crack in the earth from which evil creatures and spirits ascend upon the upper regions from the dark and dank recesses of Hell. The Cave of Cruachan was its name, and many a story of elfin lore was spoken from the lips of this vile split [...]
Istanbul, the ancient Constantinople, is at once a magical place and a dark, shadowy, place.

Next week I will be boarding a plane to Istanbul for the fourth world conference on past life regression therapies. Needless to say, a trip to Turkey is an exciting prospect in and of itself. But the fact that I will venture to this far away and mystical land to attend a conference on past [...]
