TIMELY ARTICLE: 1960S REBELLIONS: THE DARK UNDERBELLY

WHEN FLOWER POWER ERUPTS INTO FIRE POWER

In the novel City of Redemption

It wasn't all groovy love, great music, wild dancing - 

there was a dark underbelly of the time I lived.

Someone sent me an article from the Mercury News, California they found while 

searching the internet about my novel about my second novel, City of Redemption.

 
Curiously there's been a surge of interest recently in this story 

with people asking how was it in the sixties with all the social 

and political upheavals?  The same happening today, right?

  yes, it is did. 

With what is going on presently only the now it's even bigger 

and more violent, with the rebellions around the world, standing 

up to the dominate regimes. The youth of today being heard, taking 

action, protests, and all.

I'm really glad the article linking City of Redemption to those interested in a culture, time 

and place story - San Francisco - to many throughout the world. Cool, far out, groovy....

City of Redemption is about free love, sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, lies, betrayal and murder 

during a most memorable time and  place  The Summer of Love.  

You probably thought it was all peace man, get high - there was a 

lot of that and....well, the article will cover it.

Having lived in San Francisco - yes I was a Flower Power Child 

with an edge, being more of a City chick to the peace and flower 

youth that came to San Francisco - ah the memories of all the 

great happenings like the free concerts at Golden Gate Park:  

the whole shabang.

Black Panthers on the scene, LSD awakening and expanding the mind. Sadly, for some, 

destroying minds.

It was a crazy time for sure! - Janis Joplin lived in my neighborhood, zooming around 

in her psychedelic Porsche. The same neighborhood the story takes place which is

known now to many as The Castro. 

And the fashion! Love them colorful bellbottoms

I've seen fashion in 2019 resembling that era. Haven't you?

Read more about the book and me.  
Article link  Mercury News, California. 

Certainly with the world's cultural, social beliefs and political fights 

this crazy time of great upheaval?

PSYCHIC READINGS/BOOKS/TAROT & SPELL UNIQUE YOU

Most of you who follow me know after forty + years it's rare I give private psychic readings.

Rather, I focused on my paranormal investigations (YouTube The Haunted Bay), writing, and my great love, teaching.

I love the tarot cards as a symbol toward enlightenment and guidance.

It's so much fun to teach ESP development and gratifying to share  the formula of coaching (see sfcoaching page)


BUT and THEN AGAIN! Since I made the Holiday Special Offer (see purchase page) I've been doing email readings and loving it!! My psychic energy continues to vision and once I latch onto that question sent me the visions and messages become stronger and I just have to share.

Although mostly retired it's as an artist, creating is an energy an a vibrational force that has to be acted upon. So glad I decided to do this.

What talent or ability do you posses that no matter what you just have to act upon? 

Excited to act upon this goal in 2018. 

Update - 2018 June Goal: Teaching Class on-line. Due to so many out of my region requests I've
been looking into and getting advice how to do teach on-line. I think Skype might be best for me. My classes can include national and international in my native tongue, English.

I'll start with the tarot as steps to achieve a goal. Been doing it with students since April & August and they are truly moving forward successfully to achieve goals.

Spell to Claim Your Uniqueness:

Do this spell during a waxing moon, which is considered to be when we 'grow things' - getting brighter and closer to the full moon of celebration.

A few things about casting spells; harm to none, don't do spells that harm others, let karma take care of that; don't look back - don't focus on the spell, let things happen; things will come up that can be uncomfortable or even a big bummer that's because in order to fulfill we have to clean away the outworn, outdated, useless acts and thoughts keeping us from getting.
Got it?

Your altar has a larger than other candles, a white one, add another candle of your favorite color, a flower in water, and an object near and dear to you as well as a photo or drawing or image of you, a happy time. Burn incense if you wish

Enjoy your altar. Sit quietly, breathe, relax, image yourself sitting in the sun, feel the light, feel the warmth and now say aloud:

In the warmth and energy of the sun

I see clearly my unique self (whatever that is)

I see my strengths, my passion

(enjoy this image, feel the power return to your whole being)

I am part of the Universal flow, 

The power of the Cosmic energy

(Breathe in this image and feeling. Let it run through your body)

I claim my power. 

With harm to none and for the better good of Earth

I invoke the power of myself to fulfill my life.

So Mote it be.

When you are ready snuff out your candle.  Keep your flower, dry it out if you can and in the full moon time, light your candles and enjoy the changes and clarity received from this spell.

FREE KINDLE - CITY OF REDEMPTION, A NOVEL. MURDER IN SUMMER OF LOVE

City of Redemption, a Novel

FREE KINDLE 12/7/14 to 12/10/14 

Flower power ignites into firepower when Liz MacKay, a lonely young woman, 

entangles herself in a treacherous plot and murder during the Summer of Love. 

“City of Redemption” is a vividly recounted story of lies, betrayal, sex, drugs and murder takes place during an unforgettable time and place in history, Summer of Love.

Ms. Ahern shares her time and experience, what she saw, heard and took part in during 1967 rebellious times.

“City of Redemption” is a vividly recounted story of lies, betrayal, sex, drugs, seeking love, and murder takes place during an unforgettable time and place in history.

It is 1984 and Liz waits to be paroled for the murder of former roommate, Ricky Martinez.

Is she guilty? Liz says yes. Her attorney, Toni Bordeaux, hotly disagrees and tells Liz she has paid her debt!

 

 

In 1967, partly to blame for her young son's death and abandoned by her husband, 

Liz leaves Scotland in disgrace, hoping for a second chance at love and life. 

 

She arrives in San Francisco during the Summer of Love to have a "jolly good time" with the free loving groovy people. She soon joins a commune. Her new family is a curious mix: Black Panthers Toni and her boyfriend, Bobby, trying to change the world, Sam, a Vietnam vet, seeking inner peace, a kindhearted, flamboyant hairdresser, Mason, ready for fame and love, a flower child named Cat, and her callous drug dealing boyfriend, Ricky, who loves his girlfriends then quickly tosses them aside.

At first, Liz is happy to have found a welcoming home, but as her new roommates pry into her mysterious past Liz's search for a "jolly good time" brings more grief and a worsening drug addiction. She becomes unwittingly embroiled in a plot to bring down the Black Panthers and sees saving her Panther Toni as a way to redeem herself for her part in her son's death. Sharing the plot to another roommate, she is told, "Keep your mouth shut." In a moment of passion, she seizes the chance to save her roommate. But can she save her friends or will she just watch her commune family break

apart? No one expects anything heroic from Liz, especially Ricky.

Excerpt 

Chapter

THE DEVIL PASSED THROUGH - 1964

 THE COLD SIDEWALK chilled June and Mary’s bums as they sat on the curb waiting for the 33 Ashbury bus. The day had been pleasantly warm for late March, until the sun dipped behind the trees in Golden Gate Park and the ocean fog spread a chill through the Panhandle and up to Haight Street.Mary tucked the extra material from her bellbottom pants around her legs to keep the wind from shooting up them. June sat on her large black leather purse that held her schoolbooks. The short skirt of her Catholic school uniform (which, in the opinion of the nuns, was too short) did not protect her shivering white legs from the cold. No matter how nippy the days could become, the two never let the capricious San Francisco weather discourage their trips to the Haight. It was a fun time there. They met up with the young, hip people moving into the area who were bringing a whole new scene to the city. The mood of the Haight-Ashbury was rebellious with long haired young men playing harmonicas and writing poetry and tough Harley-Davidson motorcyclists cruising the street, some with Hell’s Angels emblazed across the back of their leather jackets. The scene was a much-needed relief from the girls’ restricted life. At home the sisters didn’t talk openly about their jaunts, knowing the problems it would produce.  (Cont'd)

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE - KARMA LOVE

http://youtu.be/vAJRBIHkQFs

"It's all about love," Eydie's dying words to her daughter, Sally.

My friend Eydie passed away recently. She was 96, one and a half months shy of 97. Sally shared with me her mother's last words about how living is all about love.

My next radio show on Tuesday, December 2, 2014 9:15-10 a.m. PST on www.kows107-3.org 
is about karmic love. The Power of Love. How it evolves us as spiritual beings. How it heals past wounds. How it raises our consciousness to be a healing part for the world. RADIO STREAMS live via internet. I will give a karmic psychic reading to a mother and two daughters on the show.

Karmic love is for healing and growing spiritually, the spirit of who we are, and sharing that with another or others.


Below Excerpt from Love and Thanksgiving by H. Spencer Lewis, Rosicrucian Order.
Love is creative. It grows through expression. It cannot expend nor consume itself. Love begets love; it seeks its own power everywhere and enhances itself in its devotion.

Love is reactive. A love of the spiritual values--in human and universal contacts--brings the values of the spiritual to our understanding.

Love is the limitless power by which we can rule the destiny of our life, and it is the same power by which the Creator rules the destiny of the universe.

As we increase in love we increase the attunement with God, for love is the essence of God.


This show includes a FREE psychic reading by a very talented young woman, radio host, Yerevan. Email her a question for an on-line reading. First emails will be given a psychic reading. Contact her at readingsbyyerevan.
