Documentary: Reclaiming the Mysteries
Ancient Mysteries, the Mission of Moses and Universal History
Much of history has been decided off the stage and in the shadows.

The author of gems so delicate as “Annabel Lee,” “The Raven,” and “Lenore,” while no less human and frail than others of his day, had a soul and heart that stamped him an offshoot of Divinity.
An impeccable piece of work Dave! Congratulations and keep it going
