A Norwood-area deep trance channel, commonly referred to as a medium, says she has no problem with skeptics who doubt her ability to tap into information and communication beyond our physical reality."Skeptics are the most fun... they are generally the most blown away by the experience," says Krow Fischer, 48. "Whether one believes or doubts is a completely personal choice and while I disagree, I do respect their choice."
Deep trance channelling is an ancient form of communication brought to the attention of the mainstream by gifted channellers such as Edgar Cayce and Jane Roberts, explains Ms. Fischer. In spirituality, channelling is the communication of information to or through a person (the channel or medium) from a spirit or other paranormal entity outside the mind (or self) of the channel.
Channelling is part of the belief systems and rituals of many religions, such as shamanism, Voodoo, Kardecism and Umbanda.
She compares herself to a radio - most people can only tune in to one frequency - but Ms. Fischer says she is able to tap into another frequency, the collective consciousness of a group of souls sometimes called the ancestors, the record-keepers, the grandfathers, grandmothers or 'The council of elders'.
Ms. Fischer explains she has the ability to enter an altered sleep state, where she allows her physical being to be a transmitter for the council of elders, with Tatananayaho, or 'Red', being the main spokesperson. This collective group of souls has provided guidance and assistance to humankind for thousands of years and continues to bring fresh insights and understandings, as mankind expands its conscious ability to comprehend, she adds.
"I am like a computer screen that taps into a universal Internet and the downloads stream through me," she explains.
As a young child, Ms. Fischer notes she just naturally assumed "everyone heard and saw stuff." But as she grew older, she gradually realized she was different.
"My grandmother belonged to a spiritualist church and she was supportive and did not consider my ability abnormal," she notes.
At the age of 15, she became aware of the Findhorn community in Scotland, a collective whose principal practices included channelling and other forms of meditation. Today, the community remains a centre of residential spiritual education and the Findhorn Foundation is a member of the Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations.
It was both comforting and reassuring to realize she was not alone, "that there were other people like me," she recalls. The revelation also gave Ms. Fischer a sense of direction and she purposely looked for information, seeking out teachers to help chart her path.
Later this month, Ms. Fischer brings her 'secretarial work' to a new level with the launch of the book, 'Weavers of Light: A Channelled Book of Knowledge for our Changing Times.' The publication features Red's words, channelled by the deep trance medium and transcribed by Wendy Murdoch, Ms. Fischer says.
Red is not the first entity to be published, she explains. In the 1960s, American writer Jane Roberts began to channel 'Seth' and for years, Ms. Roberts held sessions where she achieved a trance state that allowed for channelling. In 21 years of offering this service, thousands of people attended sessions to consult with Seth, who also authored several books including 'The Nature of the Psyche: Its Human Expression'.
Weavers of Light is a look at the environment we have created, how we are collectively responsible and then it explains how we can collectively find a solution, says Ms. Fischer. The book took a year to transcribe and at times, weeks would pass before the women could find time for a session.
"Red would just ask Wendy to read the last sentence he wrote and he would pick up exactly where he left off," she says.
The publication can be described as a manual on conscious living, explains Ms. Fischer. Red takes the reader from the beginnings of the universe, the creation of energetic patterns and how they manifest here on Earth to how society has shaped them into personal and collective realities, and how we can collectively and individually re-shape them. The 'council' spokesman has revealed how our planet works and how we can learn to work with it, she adds.
"I have come away humbled, deepened and pretty blown away," explains Ms. Fischer. "While I have always honoured them, this book has evolved me to an incredible appreciation for the mother and father of creation, and our sister Planet Earth."
Weavers of Light will be launched at The Link's Mystical Fair at Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts on Jan. 27. The Fair will offer a wide variety of services and information including mini-readings with regional Tarot card readers, psychics, crystal readings and angel cards as well as books, jewellery and music vendors and more. Doors open at 10 a.m. and tickets are $2.
