    SILVERMetal Of The MoonAlison Davidson

    Silver i s one of the most precious metals known on Earth.Prized for i t s s t rength andlust rous beauty throughouthis tory, s i lve r was regardedas a sacred metal long beforei t became a measure of commerc ia l t ransact ions.The ancient moon-worshippingre l igions t reasured th i smetal , craf t ing t in to r ingsand other jewelry, r i tua l ornaments, cups, mirrors , bel l s ,etc , and engraving t for useas tal ismans. Silver was synonymous with the moon i t s e l f ,and was bel ieved to be f lu id icand impressionable to the human mind and wil l . Even theform of natura l pure s i lve r i sorganic , preferr ing plan t - l ikera ther than crys ta l l ine forms.According to occul t be l ie f theplanets each had the i r ownsp i r i t , or supreme angel whichruled over the funct ion of theplanet and i t s sacred metal .The angel ru l .ing over the Moonhad the power to transmuteanything and everything tos i lver , and the power to ruleover water and the t ides ofthe oceans.

This account ,wri t t en by Ken Meaux, appears inStrange magazine (Vol. 1 , No. 2) .The p lace was on Highway 167between Abbevi l le and Lafaye t te ,Louis iana. The t ime was October20, 1969, in the ea r ly af te rnoonon a p ic tu r e -pe r f e c t autumn day.The two businessmen were dr iv ingnor th when they not iced an oldt u r t l e -back- type auto movings lowly ahead of them. When theypul led up behind the vehic le theyfound it to be in mint cond i t ionand on the l a rge orange l i censep la t e was c l e a r ly pr in ted theyear 1940.Passing the ant ique to thel e f t , they not iced the d r i v e r wasa young woman wearing a fur coatand a ha t bearing a long coloredfea ther . Standing on the s e a tbes ide her was a smal l ch i ldwearing a heavy coa t and cap.Moreover the windows of the carwere ro l led up, a l l the verypuzzl ing in view of the mildtemperature. Then they observedthe express ions of f ea r and panicon the woman's face . She waslooking f r an t i ca l l y back andfo r th as i f l o s t or in need ofhelp. She appeared on the vergeof t ea r s .The man on the passenger ss ide ca l led out to her and askedi f she needed he lp . She noddedyes and as she did so shelooked a t t he i r modern car with avery puzzled express ion . Thepassenger motioned to her to pu l lover and park on the s i d e o f theroad. Again she nodded. Theypassed her and drove onto theroad s shoulder so she could pu l lup behind them.

    When they go t out o f t he i rcar and looked back, theydiscovered to t he i r as tonishmentt ha t the ant ique auto hadvanished. There were no s ide

As theys tood the re i s bewilderment , thedr ive r of a car t ha t had beenbehind the o ld veh ic le pu l ledover behind them. He jumped outand ran over to the twobusinessmen exci ted ly wanting toknow what had happened t g t h carahead o f him. He sa id ..he hadwatched as the old car s t a r t ed topu l l up behind the f i r s t auto ,then in an i n s t an t it was gone.It had simply disappeared .His f i r s t though was t ha t anacc iden t had occurred , but whathad happened was perhaps ast r ag i c and fa r more mysterious .For some t ime the t h ree menwalked around the area d i scuss ingthe mystery. They gave up theidea of c a l l i ng the po l i ce . Noof f i ce r s on t h Js plane ofex is tence had the power to f indthe auto and i t s occupants . Theywould only ques t ion the s a n i ty ofthe wi tnesses and t e s t them fori n tox ica t ion . The men exchangednames, addresses and phonenumbers, and for severa l yearsthey ca l led one another j u s t tod iscuss the inc ident and see ifany new ideas had developed.None had.This biza r re occurrence ofinvolunta ry t ime t r a ve l r a i se ssome i n t e r e s t i ng ques t ions : Didthe woman and chi ld ever re tu rnto the world o f 1940?
