MAYA OF PLEIADES
Within many ancient cultures there is a deeply interconnected
belief in a spirit world. For our ancestors this was a world full,
of shapes, colours, sounds, images, strange beings and guiding
forces.

According to indigenous peoples traditions, birds, reptiles and
amphibious creatures are all said to have played a major part in the
evolution of our human species. Native elders talk of the ability to
‘shape-shift’, once common to the shamanistic clans, coming from
this genetic mix of human and star being, especially when one
genetic code overrides the other. While performing certain rituals
shamans or initiates had a reputation of being able to turn or
shapeshift into certain animals/creatures because of that kin (blood)
ship through their original genetic source. In Roman times, for
example, it was believed that powerful witches could turn themselves
into animals, especially wolves. According to the Greek historian
Diodorus Siculus (44BC), the ancient Danaan brotherhood of initiates
and magicians called Telchines, on the island of Rhodes, could also
shapeshift into any form.28 Such a process is known as lycanthropy.
In Indian mythology the ancient Nagar are supernatural serpent
beings who can change shape at will from human to cobra and back
again. Danté who was from post-Roman aristocracy, in his work
Inferno, also refers to serpents that change back and forth between
human and serpent form. The Thunder Beings and their offspring of
Amerindian myth were also said to be symbolic of this
extraterrestrial blood connection too.
