Chief Chester Moore’s Totem Pole
Totem pole carving is not a dead art only relegated to ancient totem poles displayed in museums. Totem poles are living things created by modern-day master carvers such as Chief of Chiefs Chester Moore.
We interviewed Chester on videotape in his home village of Kinkolith, on the mighty and cold Nass River, which empties into the Pacific Ocean south of the Alaska panhandle.
The Nisga’a tribe, of which Chester is a member, is separated into four clans: Wolf, Eagle, Raven, and Killer Whale. Chester is Chief of Chiefs of the Frog Clan which is interrelated with the Raven clan.
Knowing that there is a frog clan makes me feel good since I had memories of being a frog / human mixture during my past life regressions of Atlantis. I wrote about my memories of Atlantis in both my books: When We Were Gods and Arrival of the Gods in Egypt.
Here are my photographs of a couple of the amazing animals carved on Chester’s magnificent totem pole.
Two fierce ravens adorn the top of the totem pole. They look over to the snow-capped mountains on the other side of the Nass River in Northern British Columbia.
Chester pointed out to me that this is a metaphysical frog since it has human faces in its eyes.

Videotaped the Atlantis/Egypt Seminar
A number of people emailed me and asked if there’d be a DVD of the event in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on Atlantis and its Colony in Egypt.
Therefore, I brought my videocamera and tripod to the event and recorded it.
Right now, I don’t know how it turned out – just got home. But, I’ll take a look tomorrow and see what I’ve got.

After my great success making a digital photograph of the galactic center yesterday morning, I awoke this morning at 2:30 AM full of enthusiasm for making a videotape of the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. The galactic center is the place with which the earth will be lined up on the winter solstice, December 21, 2012. Many people believe this momentous event will herald great changes on earth.
Therefore, I wanted to photograph the galactic center which happens to be in the constellation of Sagittarius close to Scorpio. And I did.
However, when I woke up this morning and tried to take a videotape of the center of the Milky Way, I was not successful at all. As one of my amateur astronomer friends explained to me today, since the video camera shutter operates at 1/30th of a second, it is simply too fast to capture the night sky.
Yesterday, I had called my camera manufacturer and asked one of their technicians how to set the camcorder so it would videotape star constellations. The technician said it could NOT be done. I had to try anyway. I set the camcorder on “night” and gave it a try. As I said, it did not work. Now I know.
