PRS 110: Introduction into the History of Spiritualism

Summary:
Join Eilfie Music for a 4 class introduction into the history of spiritualism and its influence in early paranormal investigation. The class will delve into the early forms of spirit communication in pre-Christian times going from a serious view of talking to the other side to a down hill slope of parlor games and superstition. They will learn about the early catalyst of the spiritual movement in America, but will see how it gripped society and was greatly effected by war and economic changes in history. With this class, they will see the genesis of paranormal investigation.
What’s Included:
1) Access to all 4 lectures, live or taped: Like with real classrooms, students/attendees will be able to get the most out of their experience by attending the live lectures.  However, for those who have to miss a class or two, there’s no worries.  The lectures will be saved and viewable from January 12 through May 8.
2) Access to the Virtual Instructor’s Office: A private social site has been set up where attendees/students of the program will be able to register and gain access to the message boards, group discussions, group activities, all powerpoint files and reading materials, etc.  Additionally, this will be where the students/attendees can interact with the instructor privately.  We know this is especially important for those who may have additional questions to ask Ms. Music about the courses, but don’t want to bother with sending her an e-mail at her fan address or via Facebook.  Here, it’ll be just you and your fellow attendees interacting with the instructor.
3) Access to quizzes and a final project, for those who wish to test their knowledge: Although it’s not a requirement, quizzes and a final exam will be made based off of the lectures and reading materials.  Ms. Music will be grading your quizzes.

Canada Fall Tour Travel Journal Entry 1

October 1, 2011
Ottawa, Canada
Day 1

The first time I visited Canada, was also my first time leaving the country. I was kind of scared, but excited in a similar way to when I went on my first plane ride. Toronto turned out to be a lovely place to visit, and I enjoyed speaking at the Great Hall theater as well. The Field Trips we've had over the last few years brought many fans from Canada, and each time they would ask when we would visit further north. So it was well recieved when we finally planned out the idea of doing a tour in Canada.This year has been filled with many changes, and visiting another country that held many people who not only enjoyed our show but also the work we do is an amazing experience.

For the first leg of this tour, we are first in Ottawa for the Oct. 1st. speaking at the shenkman Arts Centre. Even though I am always nervous at any public event, I am looking forward to meeting new people and hopefully not only entertaining them, but also have them leave knowing something more then when they came.

Also while in Canada, I hope to try some poutine, which is fries, cheese curds, and gravy. This bar food is apparently popular across Canada and being a foodie, I love trying the local treats. If anyone has any other local Canadian food favorites I should try let me know.

Off to bed now to get much needed rest before prep for the first speaking.

Playing Until the End

For the PRS Facebook Crypto contest in June, I decided to do an original image that the winner of the Crypto contest would receive the first autographed print. At first I was going to do some kind of Crypto as the painting, and even was thinking of doing a Japanese ghost, since I had been researching that for a while. In the end, I decided on an image that had been playing around in my head for a while.

Earlier this year I had done a painting of the Archangel Gabriel; which hangs in my office now, and from that came the thought of a sort of modern version of him on this earth. Gabriel soon became a 1920's New Orleans trumpet playing street performer. I put him in nice dress pants, button up shirt, and vest, with a fedora to top it off. From the looks of the painting, he traded his halo for the hat and the chance to play his trumpet all he wants. I will be making prints of this new painting, and then selling them on my blog and possible at the upcoming Field Trip in August at Salem, Mass.

The Winner of the June contest was Nicole Michaud who did a video of an "Investigation" of a Russian Crypto creature. You can check out the video on our facebook page.
