Gracilla White Shaman Aaron - The Monday Morning Memo

The three “Gracillas” painted by the Coahuiltecan people represent three side-by-side **plateaus** about 20 miles southwest of Barton Springs, the landmark pool in downtown Austin that gushes 29,000 gallons of cold water **per minute** from the heart of the earth. These are known today as Wednesday Mountain, Thursday Mountain, and Friday Mountain. The Wizard Academy tower occupies the pinnacle of Wednesday Mountain. The White Shaman cave painting is 13 feet high and 26 feet wide and is being studied by several universities and archeological organizations. Wizard Academy will soon be releasing the introductory video for an extensive YouTube documentary with Gary Perez about all the other symbols in the White Shaman; messages to us from 2,500 years ago. – Indy Beagle

“Last week, I was in a classroom in Austin, Texas, where a girl who was apparently going through a really rough spell at home wrote a poem that was definitely tragic and comic, both, about — everybody was yelling at her in the poem, from all directions. She was just kind of suffering in her home place and trying to find peace, trying to find a place to do her homework. But she wrote this in such a compelling way that when she read it — and read it with gusto and joy; there was such joyousness in her voice, even though she was describing something that sounded awful — when she finished, the girls in her classroom just broke into wild applause. And I saw her face. She lit up. And she said, ‘Man, I feel better.’ And I thought, yeah, that’s — this is such a graphic example of putting words on the page. That feeling of being connected to someone else, when you allow yourself to be very particular, is another mystery of writing.”
