 The day after I brought the Crystal Skull Compassion home I was surfing the web and found the above. This was the largest Crystal Skull Conference in the United States. It was located in Tempe, Arizona. Coincidence? It was just the beginning of how my life was going to change.
I saw the distance was 700+ miles one way, no air conditioning in my car and I had just spent a portion of my retirement on a beautiful Crystal Skull. Following pure instinct I ask Annie is she wanted to go. She was giving me grief for spending so much on a Crystal Skull until I got "Compassion" home. She became enamored with her right away, started telling me how to place her, how to handle her to the point I just sat back with my mouth open and watched!
I called Cece the Producer and ask about a table to show off a New Find, Crystal Skull! She informed me there was a month to go but that there was no room for a vendors table to display Compassion. The best I could do was buy a "guest" ticket for 3 days, sit in the audience holding my skull in my lap! This was a hurtle to overcome. Annie said, "You are not going to hold the skull in your lap!"
So, things were a little "weird" for a while. I told Annie, “If Spirit wanted me to be caretaker/guardian of this crystal skull and then place the largest skull conference in the U.S. right afterward, I feel it would provide a means for us to make this long trip.”
We left with ice chest full and Gator aid and water. Stephanie suggested spray bottles in desert heat. So off we went. I found an interesting place half way there called Quartzsite, Arizona. It boasted a "Yacht Club!" over 600 miles from the ocean. I had to see this. We did! 108˚ with no air conditioning we arrived in Quartzsite. Upon arriving we found the Quartzsite Yacht Club Vacant so we went to an air conditioned restaurant until about 5 p.m.. We had a good Mexican food dinner. Upon returning we found the people and paid and got the key that went to a mobile home! It was very quaint, we will go again.
Quartzsite is a mining town, they display quartz crystals and bulk quartz, rocks of all kinds and minerals. Nothing going on until the Snow Birds come for the winter then the population goes up to 1 million they said, however this being the off season there were only the locals, about 1,800 people.
 Here is Annie next to one of the only trees in the area. Welcome to the desert. For a sailor this was an experience. Annie was a real trouper, she would spray me with ice water and I would jump about 6" she loved to see me screech. Not much traffic, great roads in Arizona, we, (Annie) decided since we had an extra day to drive the old road #17 to Sedona. I hadn't been there for over 20 years so we decided we were handling the heat all right so we left for Sedona!
 This place caused us to stop in our tracks. The hill behind the trees was a pyramid! Made of large Granite boulders all about the same size, the energy they created caused me to slam on the breaks. Also, Annie saw this below:
 I don't think I had seen so many Navajo and Hopi rugs in my life. We met the owner Bill, he was a potter and had some very fine things. We really liked Bill and the energy he was living in. Seems work dried up with the "depression" we were in so he put his things in his front yard. I wish I could have bought one of those but I had no place to put one and already had a Zuni medicine blanket in my Crystal meditation room. Sedona was far different from when I had seen it last. It was off season but still no place to park. I remember a sleepy little town in the desert with grand mountains. I see the real charm of Sedona is behind the store fronts and jeep rentals. After stopping in the local Metaphysical and Crystal store, Mary Jane Arnett welcomed us to the Crystal Magic shop. I did find a large "beanbag" for crystal skull Compassion to sit on. I had gotten her a wood turn tale so people would not try to twist her head and chip her teeth. People are not use to seeing a Crystal Skull with a removable jaw except for the Mitchell Hedges skull.
Arriving in Phoenix we didn't have a local map. I asked Annie to get one at the last gas station but they were out. So we were driving around in 105˚ at 7:30 at night. We found the most helpful people I have seen in years. They set us in the right direction and we made it to the Embassy Suites. What a fine place that is.
We spent a comfortable night with big beds air conditioning that was not blowing in my face while I slept. I had forgotten the hardships of trip to get there and was eager to meet other crystal skull people and hear their stories. I had read up on all the "resident Ancient" skull owners, and wanted to share my story with other guests.
 We had an opening ceremony done by a Mayan Elder, speaker for the 33 tribes of Mexico and himself a Mayan Shaman. Hunbatz Men made a deep impression on me. He preformed a Mayan ceremony and was a Crystal Skull caretaker himself. His crystal skull was from Tibet! Strange a Mayan with a Tibetan Skull. He explained it was gifted to him by a Tibetan Shaman and was very old with growth on it as if it were under the ocean for a while.
Hunbatz Men told all present about the history of the Crystal Skulls and how important it was they were coming to the forefront of peoples attention now and how it was up to them, the people to "WAKE US UP" to the Mayan Prophecy of 2012.
We do not have to perish, we are the creators of our reality and destiny. Increasing our vibrational rates, will allow us to visualize with honest and pure of heart the "intention" to change our negative Sacred Male dominated destiny to the Sacred Feminine, one of nurturing, healing and compassion. That is the message, Hunbatz Man gave us in his opening ceremony. I wanted to hear that there was hope, something positive. To be actually part of that awakening with Compassion my sacred responsibility was brought home to me and every crystal skull caretaker there by a and powerful Mayan Shaman humble in his presence and powerful in his words. The immensity of his words was beyond my understanding then.
After the ceremony other Crystal Skull caretakers were taking turns speaking and we took a break. Sure enough we had Compassion on her turn table between us on a chair in the audience. Annie saw everyone walking around with their skulls and realized that was what it was all about. Exposing them to the energy of the true Ancient crystal skulls in the room but no place to put the skulls to share them with other caretakers.
Hunbatz Men came along the isle and looked down at Compassion. He told me to, "Get up!" I did as he asked. Annie held the turn table due to the sloping chair. He went to his briefcase and got his glasses, came back and got down on one knee and, not touching Compassion, did a close examination, holding his hands over the skull he stopped, got up and said, " ATLANTIS! This skull came down from the Stars to Lemuria then to Atlantis where it was carved. the Matrix in the back of the skull is an ancient map I do not understand!" With that he shook my hand and walked away. During the rest of the 3 days he would smile at us as if he knew we would be seeing each other again. If the quartz crystal was mined in Lemuria then the Matirx must be the actual rock of Lemuria! A piece of our Mother Land contained in a sacred crystal skull.
This floored me. We had a crowd, some wanting to know if this was the Mitchell Hedges crystal skull. I said no. However it's the same size and weight, they are close enough for me to validate the claims, the Mitchell Hedges skull was said to come from Atlantis.
At the end of the events we saw many crystal skulls, none at the conference that were clear with removable jaw's. We saw the "fast market" Chinese melted quartz glass crystal skulls, poured into molds and then polished. They were beautiful and so clear, many were sold as the natural one's were hard to find.
 We did however find the Master Skull carver for 25 years. Gerald Leandro De Souza has the world's largest carved Crystal Skull. It's huge, I have no idea how much it weights. I noticed his table was outside the conference area! I thought that was strange since the few tables inside didn't have near the skulls he had carved himself. I wish I had a photo of his display, they were some of the finest skulls carved on the back of natural quartz points, ingenious way he found the skull faces in all kinds of crystals. A true master.
At the end of the first day, people were stopping in the isle and leaning over our seats. I noticed an empty tale at the end of a local merchants table and there was a fellow with 3 crystal skulls standing there. I walked over and met him. I ask if he beautiful green Skull was for sale, he laughed and said, "No, these are my own I am trying to find a place to show them off!" Sound familiar. They were closing for the day but I told him I would be back the last day, tomorrow and bring my skull to join him. We met some fine people. I got a chance to thank Cece for making our trip possible and Annie gave her a big hug. She was at wits end with her first conference.
Next day we came in early, the hotel provided a wonderful breakfast. I was eager to get a spot on the table. I noticed there were crystal skulls there when I walked in. The fellow that was there the day before was taking a chair loose from the locked group of chairs and placing it behind the table. We had Compassion sitting there now, we were behind the speakers against the wall but at least we had a place to let our skulls mix with the others. We had a very interesting woman come right up to us and want to examine Compassion, her name was Carole Wilson/Davis. She had to leave as Hunbatz Men was going to speak.
 You can see the arrangement. They ask us not to take pictures during the ceremony so I had to wait until it was over and get the photos I could. They were filming the ceremonies and would have them for sale after the conference.The partner of Leandro, James Ziegler from <www.stonesofbrazil.com> came by and inspected Compassion, He thought the occlusion was Iron Oxide on the top and the Feldspar on the lower half. I thanked him, he said he works with Leandro and was also from Brazil and was familiar with many minerals and crystals. He said he loved Compassion and wanted to bring Leandro over to see it. Which he did during the lunch break.
Leandro walked up, silently, moved his hands over the crystal skull like a baby, did some quick measurements using his fingers as reference points and said in a low voice, "Fantastic! This is not Brazilian Quartz! I have been a master carver for 25 years and I have never seen this carving. I do not know who could have carved this skull!" I ask him again as English is his second language and he repeated it again. I told him where I got it and he shook his head. We hugged, I had made a life long friend, after that every one he knew he hugged. I felt honored indeed. He later told me in an email, "This skull was not carved in Germany, I don't feel it." So now what. She has opened my heart and allowed me to meet all of these caretakers and wonderful people, does it really matter whether she was dropped from the sky or carved in Africa. This is an experience of a life time.
Annie and I were so high on the energy of the event, now the personal Crystal Skulls were out more and more people came over to place their skulls on the table, others came by to examine Compassion. It was everything I had hoped for. I felt the decision that was so difficult for me to make was reinforced by the smiles and positive LOVE atmosphere we were sharing. Instead of being a paying customer to buy the wares from the merchants attending we were actually part of it.
Carol Wilson, came by on her way out to dinner at the end and stopped by.
"Anna Mitchell-Hedges recognized Carole Davis' extraordinary ability to
communicate with the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull and gave her unprecedented
access to probe and discover the wisdom contained within it. Together with Brian
Hadley-James, Carole Davis conducted a series of 9 in-depth sessions that
revealed mind-blowing information that remains both timely and timeless to
this day.
Since this THE SKULL SPEAKS was originally published in 1985, time has allowed
the evaluation of the foretold predictions contained therein. Astoundingly, ten
predictions given in the book have already become fact. This gives credibility
to the remaining future Nostradamus-like revelations."
She stood by the crystal skull Compassion. I got up and went around giving her my chair. She sat and studied Compassion, She then placed her hand on the skull and said, "This is the 5th crystal skull I have ever done a reading on and didn't know what to expect." She was fascinated with the matrix and was startled to say; "There's writing on the Matrix!" Annie got a pen and tablet so she could write. What she got was some kind of ancient "rune" type writing and some dots like Morse code. Then she sat back and gasped! "There is a Phoenix on the top of the Matrix! The Iron Oxide or Red portion is a large bird raising up, spreading it's wings, you can see the head and beak in the center!" She went on until her escort came by. I think he might have been Brian
Hadley-James, He looked at some of her writing and said, "That one of the symbol was from Atlantis meaning Home or Temple." He said he was the curator of the Egyptian department in the museum in Chicago. I was certainly impressed.
Carol gave me instructions, "It YOUR job to research these meanings. The information on this skull keeps changing, I watch as it is going, WEEE!, WEEE!. The Hedges skull was the same information every day I just had to decipher it, this is constantly changing, updating. You better be cautious, it has much information and when you are ready it will propel you 10 times faster than you can expect. You better have clear intentions and a pure heart because that is where it gives and gets it's information. It doesn't know 'time or 'Human Morality so you have to be careful." With that she got up to leave. End of story, except she turned as she was leaving and said, "Keep me informed as to what it is you find please." She was gone! What an interesting lady.
 We had people coming up to us and asking to leave their Crystal Skulls facing Compassion to "download" information. They felt it was a faster download if the skulls were facing each other. Fine with me. I left to take a photo and caught Annie with her eyes closed for the flash. Sorry Annie! We were vibrating so fast we needed to ground ourselves.
As we were getting ready to leave, it was over, Hunbatz Men had many of the caretakers carry their skulls in a procession and after stopping in the center of the room went around to bless each one of them. Thanking them for coming and asking them to take the energy from this room to others and "wake them up."
A woman came right up to us, she bent over and had a turn to see Compassion. She had heard Carol Wilson and commented that she felt the same thing. "This skull is loaded" I told her it's been in storage in a warehouse for 22 years and just came into my hands. She offered to help me with the "opening of my heart" to work with compassion and we made an appointment for the following day at 10:30. What a day it had been, I still felt as if I was walking about a foot off the floor. As it turned out we saw Jayne and her companion Mort again at dinner.
 Jayne Fitzgerald had just finished 5 years on the Television in Spain. She did spiritual work on the television and radio through out Europe. She was on her way to Dublin, Ireland. She had the greatest "Irish brogue" I enjoyed just to listen to her talk. We talked about blockages especially in the hearts of men. "That is where you will do your work. Unblocking the heart chakras of men." I said, "That's fine with me. I know there is a reason for me having this Crystal Skull come to me. I will do my best."
The next day we were still wound up from the previous days. We went to breakfast and sat with Leandro and his friend James Ziegler, the fellow that brought Leandro to us. As I was talking about having a session today a pretty lady walked up, turns out she was the winner of a very unique skull door prize. Leslie Sloane lives close to us about 60 miles and when I said I was going to a healing, she placed her hand on my heart and I actually "felt" it being squeezed! I have never felt this before I mentioned it to her and she just gave me a knowing smile, she lifted her hand and shook it at her sides sliding her other hand over like cleaning water or something form her arms and hands.
She said, "Yes you have some blockages I got rid of some of them." Smiled again and with that she left! The last day was about making appointments for energy work or spending time with a certain Crystal Skull for downloading information or personal readings.
I had my reading and had one of the deepest meditations I have ever experienced. Jane was a master, she manipulated my neck and took me down and down, I am not at liberty to go into detail as it's very personal. Suffice it to say I did a tremendous amount of work. She brought me back at 11:45 we each had to check out of our rooms by 12 noon, I had been out for 45 min. I had no concept of time. I was in a different space for sure. We got to the lobby and Annie was still talking to her business partner Mort. They got started talking and finally had to stop. That's just the way it was at the World Mysteries Crystal Skull Conference.
We went back to Quartzsite had as good a night as can be expected and made it home by 2 Pm. What an experience. It took days to assimilate that much information. I am still reeling from the information I received on Compassion. I am a different person, so is Annie, she is noticing how uptight people are and angry. I told her they are no different, "YOU ARE!"
