Joey Madia, New Mystics Reviews

  (Precocity Press, 2024). ISBN: 979-8-9892043-7-3 From Waffle House waitress to millionaire investment professional (achieved by the age of 40), Stephanie Geller is a modern success story. Throughout this series of anecdotes that travel back and forth through time, grouped thematically with section titles such as “Work Hard, Play Hard” and “Not Everyone Gets a Trophy,” Geller proves that Authenticity is key and, if you prefer high heels, your footwear never has to change as you go from rags to riches. From its short, sharp, whimsically rendered sentences to its road-less-traveled humor and celebrations of victory in loss, You Can’t Make This Sh!t Up: Stories of a Badass Life is proof positive that how we choose to live and tell our story truly matters. There are divorces, deaths, and more than a few debacles in both her childhood and adulthood (with an adolescence that plays as pure cinematic 1980s teen dramedy). Through it all, Geller is never afraid to embark on the Hero’s Jour

   (Adventures Unlimited Press, 2024). ISBN: 978-1-948803-62-5 Over the past several years, through the publication and positive reviews of her Encyclopedia of Moon Mysteries and The Moon’s Galactic History , Constance Victoria Briggs has become a leading authority on the subject of visitations to Earth and the Moon by extraterrestrials.

First, Briggs does exhaustive amounts of research, structuring her books like PhD dissertations (the structural design of MGH and EGH is similar). Second, she remains a hopeful but very staunch skeptic. She is primarily a reporter. She presents the facts and lets the reader do with them what they will, without gloss. In this way, she is like Dr. Michael Salla and Paul Blake Nelson. Although she traverses the same landscapes as the Ancient Alien crowd (one of whom, David Childress, is her publisher), Briggs is the Joe Friday of the bunch: “Just the facts.” In

  (Waterside Productions, 2023). ISBN: 978-1-960583-84-0 A few years ago, I reviewed Do Unto Earth: It’s Not Too Late , by Penelope Jean Hayes with Carole Serene Borgens, Channeler (2020). Borgens channels a being named Pax, the Divine Wisdom Source—who was the uncredited author of roughly half the text of that book, which dealt with such pressing subjects as climate change, fossil fuels, and the future survival of humankind. My wife is a psychic medium, energy healer, and certified past life regressionist and hypnotist who channels information in much the same way as Borgens, so I accept that Pax is providing this information. In addition to witnessing my wife’s automatic writing, I’ve been studying channeling for more than a decade, from the lens of both a paranormal investigator applying numerous tools for evaluation and as a lifelong actor and acting teacher/director with three decades of professional experience. Watching a channeler who is allowing a higher being to speak throug
