Wolf died on Friday Feb
3rd. There was a postmortem but we do not yet have the results. He was
in bed when it happened, so as he was an early riser, it must have
happened during the night hours or early morning. From evidence of
friends, flatmate, policeman and undertaker, he was at the side of his
bed, his head twisted sideways on his neck at an unusual angle. It would
seem possible that he sat up in bed, or tried to get out of the bed,
died and the weight of his upper body toppled him to the floor. He must
have been dead when he hit the floor, thank God, or surely he would have
moved out of what would have been a painful position. All we can hope is
that it happened quickly, that he was not in pain or distress, unable to
call for help. We ask, how can it happen? How can a person be alive and
functioning one minute, dead the next? It is a terrible fact of life
that we are all headed down the same road - some reach the destination
sooner, that is all. It is a comfort to those of us still on the road to
know that someone has gone ahead and will be there to welcome us when we
arrive. We must not grieve that someone's troubles are over, I know that
he has peace and rest, I could never wish for him to come back, he had
struggled so long and hard in his life, fate had not dealt him a good
hand, but by God he was effective with the hand he got. No one, meeting
Wolf, ever forgot him. The reaction and response in Nelson has been
terrific - the grief in Killarney overwhelming. In Germany I can only
imagine what they are feeling - being so separated from him in life,
they will find it harder to come to terms with his death. I wish that
they may find peace. |
Spirit
ascended Weds 15 Feb at 11.55pm. Full Moon + 2 days |
|
Wolf remained with me
for twelve days in all. On Wednesday 15 Feb I was on the floorbed by the
window. The Full Moon was shining right down on me. At
approximately 11.15 I felt a disturbance inside me - I felt the spirit
of Wolf was thrashing about. He was distressed. Maybe he had finally
realised he was dead - remember when he first came he insisted to me
that he was alive - I accepted that, to me there is no death of the
living spirit. Two friends I had told about his presence had been
concerned that he was being kept against his will. I told them this was
not so, he said he had come home and wanted to stay. If he had stopped
by on his way to his heavenly rest I would never have attempted to
detain him. But no power on earth was going to make me send him on his
way if he did not want to go. Now I knew that his time had come to
leave. Everything I do magically or spiritually, I do by instinct, or
you might say I open myself to spirit and ask for guidance. There is no
manual for this sort of thing. Yet you can listen and follow
instruction.
While he was thrashing around I had pain in the heart chakra. Now he had
reached the throat chakra and I felt it very important that he did not
exit by the mouth. Don't ask me why. I felt that he would be released in
a chaotic way if this was what happened, and that he must be drawn up
into the brow chakra and released through the crown, while being
directed to the Light.
I went downstairs to get some crystals to help me. I picked up Marcus,
who asked to go to Ireland with Wolf, and who I brought back. He has
been receiving healing from the Gang of Four (the original skulls I
worked with). I took Circe my personal guardian, and a crystal obelisk.
Going back upstairs I lay down on the bed with the moonlight on me - I
could look straight up at the moon from where I lay. I put the obelisk
on my chest, held Marcus in my left hand and Circe in my right. I
concentrated on pulling Wolf up into the brow chakra. It was a very hard
task. After a while I felt he was asking for Jethro - this is one of the
Gang of Four, an Indian Amethyst who revealed to me that a Healing
Spirit dwelt in him, or he was agent or spokesperson for this spirit -
this healing spirit lives deep under the earth in a rock chamber - he
never sees the light of day, but the walls of his cave light up and he
can tune in to any place on earth, or on any other planet, and the
people appear to be walking around him. He told me he makes healing
paintings for people - but there were no paints in the cave. I asked how
he did that. He then wove or created a coloured globe - well that is
another story. Wolf had always had a special relationship with
Jethro, whenever he held him he would get tingling all down his arms.
I went to get Jethro, and at the same time picked up a small white skull
made of fibre optic, one of a set that was created by Jo Ann Parks, the
owner of Max, the Tibetan Healing Skull. This little skull has been
named Mirrormatic by a little girl who fell in love with her.
Lying back down in the bed, I replaced the crystal pillar on my chest.
Jethro went in my left hand, but I still held Marcus behind him, as he
had to be part of this ritual. Circe was still in my right hand. The
small white skull I placed on my crown chakra. Now I settled back
into the bed, completely relaxed, everything in place for the
release. I pulled Wolf successfully past the throat, into the
brow, and immediately he reached the brow he flew from the top of the
head - the little white skull falling to one side.
My thoughts had been of the Moon and the Goddess, I had addressed her as
the one we had worshipped together in the circle, the Lady, and asked
that Wolfram be directed to the Light. As he went, I looked out of
the window and saw him ascending on a little cloud, he was standing, and
angels were each side of him in a triangle formation. He ascended
slowly up into the sky - I thought - Angels - wow! you better believe he
went to Jesus. |

February Saturday
Wolf
appears in the deer plantation |
|
I woke in the morning,
or the thought might even have come to me the night before, that I must
go to the deerfield. This is a place Benji and I go to sometimes, but
not often, on our walks. It is an area of newly planted woodland - about
four years old now I think, and I gave it that name because it is a
place we often see deer. Now I had never seen deer, ever, until I saw
them in this plantation. The first time I went there I had just closed a
deal on ebay to buy a deerskin hand drum made by a Cherokee Indian -
then I went out and saw four deer. It was like a blessing on me, as
though the deer were saying they were pleased I would have the drum.
That was when it became a special place. I have seen them often since
then, and at different times of the day. Usually they run for it when
they spot Benji, and he exults in following their tracks through the
trees and down to the old railways track, coming back covered in mud. I
have taken the drum there often, sitting on a stump and playing and
singing.
The compulsion was on me to go there now. The minute I opened the gate
to go into the wood, I knew why I had been called. Wolfram was there.
His presence was so strong. I began to cry, but not from sadness, not
from pain. Only because I loved him and to have him with me again was
emotionally overwhelming. To cry is sometimes a relief. I told him I did
not cry because I wanted him back. I knew he had joy and peace, and I
would not want him to return here to suffer as he had done.
I sat on the tree stump and let the tears come. Then a stillness came
over me and I was at peace. Then Wolf began to give me a clear message,
that he wanted me to accept Jesus totally, as he had done, so that when
my time comes to go I will be able to follow him without any difficulty,
and that this way we will be together more quickly. I understood that so
clearly, and said that was what I wanted, and then a wonderful peace
entered my heart and I knew why he called me here today.
I sat awhile and sang some chants to him, and as I walked back I thought
how glad I was that I am fourteen years older than Wolf, and shall not
have to wait so long until we are together, and I thought how I should
like my ashes to be put in the grave in Germany with his, and some words
were going round in my head: "Whither
thou goest, I shall go, thy people shall be my people, and thy god shall
be my god". I thought yes, I am going to Ireland to Wolf's
people, and as he followed me into Wicca, I now follow him into the
faith of Jesus Christ. That is as it should be. Where he goes I will
follow.
When I got home I looked up the full quote and found: "whither
thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people
shall be my people, and thy God my God. Where thou diest, I will die,
and there will I be buried." Strange,
that I, too, got the sense of being buried where he was buried. |
28 February, Tuesday Wolf
asks me to read Tarot |
|
Well this afternoon I
was sitting just meditating a bit I suppose, anyhow letting my
thoughts run. I have Wolf's picture on the small table, with some
flowers and crystals and some of the crystal skulls who ask to be with
him from time to time.
Sitting my chair across the room, I felt that he was communicating and
that he was asking me to read the cards - for him, I thought. I was
not keen, I thought it would show me how he was getting on, and I was
fearful of hearing that he was in trouble somehow. Anyway he
would not shut up, so I got the cards and sat at his table, like
I was sitting opposite him.
This kind of reading is a simple reading I
would do for problem-solving or asking questions, for me or a friend,
it would not be the full reading I do. So it involves shuffling
the cards, then with your left hand you drop three piles from the
stack, you just let them fall how they want. I end up with some cards
left in my hand which I put to one side. So now you have three piles.
The sequence is from left to right. The three top cards will
answer the question or outline the problem, its solution, whatever.
Then you can look at another two cards behind each top card for more
information - but it is the top cards that are important. I only
see the cards as I turn them over, and these were the thoughts that
came to me as I turned them over.
The first card was the High Priest - I
thought this was a good sign, because this card is the head of
religion and authority and is a very upright moral card - so that
showed religion was on his side, I thought of his joining the church
and thought he was telling me this had been the right thing to do, and
also it meant things were going well for him because of this.
So I was VERY surprised when the next card
was the High Priestess! The head of the Wiccan church, the goddess -
this to me meant - THE HIGH PRIEST AND THE HIGH PRIESTESS ARE
TOGETHER. This was amazing and I received the message - the Christian
religion and the Wiccan religion are one and the same thing - they are
together - as if Wolf was saying, this was what I found, that both are
here, and they are joined together, there is no difference. I was so
overjoyed at this news. Like you could have both and it did not
matter
The third card was the ten of wands - this
means, you have come to the end of your problems, you have dealt with
them and put them away. Now there are no more problems. This was a
lovely message from him that he was not troubled anymore.
Now it gets to the crazy part. First
card to check behind was the priestess. She had the Peace card
(ace of cups) and the World or Universe. So the high priestess
(me) was to get peace and lots of good things for the future.
Check behind the high priest.
Surprised to see 9 of cups - this is the 'one step before perfect
happiness' card - it meant that Wolf had one more task to do before
completion. I was worried for him. The previous cards had
said his troubles were over. What could it be that he had to do?
The next card to come up was the marriage celebration card! It
was clear that he wanted us to marry again. I sat there and I
held out my hand to Wolf's picture and I said the words of the
marriage vows, except instead of 'til death do us part' I said 'til
death do us join'. Then I said them for him. Then I was
looking at his photo and it changed- his eyes closed and he seemed to
sleep. Then his eyes opened wider than they are in the picture, and
his tongue came out from between his lips! His face kept changing in
front of my eyes.
Then I sat relaxed in the chair just to be
with him. He showed me the house in Ireland where I will go, and
showed me that I could see the sea from it. I don't know if this will
be true. After this meditation time, I became very dizzy and
disorientated, I could not stand properly, and when I tried to walk I
was swaying and stumbling.

8 March, Wednesday Wolf reveals he is present
all the time, I just had not realised it |
|
I decided today that perhaps walking in a morning
would do me more good than later in the day, I would get oxygen to the
brain and be able to work better on the computer. So I left at 10.30 to
go the short walk which takes one and a half hours. It was not a very
nice day, rainy and a wind which made it seem colder.
I was thinking about Wolf quite a bit and the tears would come. I cried
over something so silly – thinking about packing for Ireland and
getting rid of things, I thought of the books I made up for each of our
cycling holidays – Narbonne, le Senequet, Como and so on, and thought
what was the point of them, there is no one now who knows what they mean
and who can share the memories. I was always saying to Wolf, there is
only you and me who share these memories. Now there is only me and I
thought that when I die these will just be thrown away. I know it’s a
silly thing to cry over a book.
In the park under the trees by the putting green I stopped and said,
"I wish you were here with me" and this voice at my side said,
"What you talkin' about you daft bugger, course I’m here."
And he was. Right there at my side. I knew he had not just appeared, but
had been there all along. It was me who had not been tuned in to him.
Now when I was walking I could feel him all along my left arm, from top
to bottom, as though he were glued onto me, his arm on mine. So we
walked along the riverbank and halfway along he wanted me to stop and
face him and talk to him. I could not help crying.
When I got home I ate and then fell asleep from around 1pm to 5pm. Veez
and her friend Wendy were coming at 7, I had time to clean and get ready
for them and we had good company. |
9 March, Thursday We go cycling |
|
After that long sleep yesterday, and another long
sleep in the night, I feel completely healed. I know Wolf is with me.
Today we went for a cycle ride and a walk. We sat on the bridge at the
Mile Tunnel and he got out his tobacco tin and rolled a cigarette. I
remembered what Judy had said about people still having their cravings
after death, and I told him I will buy a tobacco tin and roll cigarettes
for him in places like this, where he always had a fag. I just feel so
happy about him being here. And now I thought about what he had said in
the first days when he came to me, that he would stay until I pass, and
that I had thought when he ascended that it was not to be like that, but
that he had only gone away for a time and had come back and was separate
from me, but connected. |
10 March, Friday. We have ceremonial
smoke |
|
Thinking about Wolf's desire still to have a smoke, I
did not have any rolling tobacco, but I did have the native American
tobacco I ordered on ebay from America, that I and Wolf used in
ceremonies. I remembered that he enjoyed that - it comes rolled into big
wodges, like huge cigars - he used to suck the smoke from these! Me I
usually burn it in an earthenware dish. There was a bit left that I had
brought back from the allotment, the stub end of one of the fat
cigars. It takes quite a bit to get it alight, but at last I got
it going. I had the whole room done out with candles and incense,
and I got some bits of tobacco burning on a charcoal disc as well.
When the smoke was fairly going, with the dish on his table, me one
side, him the other, I fetched the Japanese singing bowl and sat playing
it for about an hour, breathing the smoke. I was quite spaced out after.
I lay on the blanket on the floor and played the sacred drumming cd. It
was an incredibly relaxing experience. I dont know about Wolf, but I
enjoyed it! |
13 March, Monday Wolf as leprechaun |
|
Every day I walk in the morning
now, and Wolf is with me. Today it seemed he was fainter, I could not
sense him so strongly, but when we got to the wooded part of the walk,
suddenly he was there, but he had changed his clothes! He was wearing a
leprechaun costume! This made me laugh so much, and he was laughing too.
I realised I had got past the weeping stage, at first the emotion of
having him here was so overwhelming it led to tears, but now I was
getting used to his presence, and accepting it naturally. I dont know
why he was wearing the leprechaun costume, except to make me laugh,
though the next day I booked flights to Killarney for myself and Benji -
I've been busy all day organising it! |
