Many, many shout outs to the thousands of fans that have been reaching out to us. A lot of folks have been asking about our friends, so here’s a bit of an update.
Claire Voyant
Murray, the bush poet BF, didn’t last long. He discovered Facebook at nearly 60 and fell deeply into its’ vice like grip. He spent months on Messenger talking to a really understanding woman in America, Camille. She’d agree with everything he said and listened to his boring stories about himself. That was until he got a message from someone close to Camille that said he was being blocked because people like him were enabling the obese.
For the last few years Claire has been living in Rishikesh, India. Her partner, Brett aka Branga has been in India since he burnt his passport in Pushkar back in 1978. She leaves all the seer stuff at home; it’s not the reason she’s in India.
Rishikesh is the Yoga Capital of the world, so you’ll see lots of westerners, their mats and the spooky nudity of their skintight gear. Some western seekers spin out, unable to handle their intense responses to the environment, and the magic drinks. Claire and Branga have become the people you call when this happens. They serve them marsala chai or ginger lemon tea and sit them in a darkened room to worship their favourite western musical Gods. Branga’s German speakers are seriously loud. All Gods are tolerated, even if it is Michael Jackson, there’s no judgement. When the seekers have calmed down, they suggest they go home.
Branga has been a mechanic forever. He works on the river rafting boats so popular with young Indian men who like to take a Holy dip whilst rafting. Claire hangs out. She gets up early every day and feeds dried grass to the sacred cows and goes to the Aarti fire ceremony every night at The Ashram. She loves sweeping her fingertips through the flames.
Next, Grayam Voyant
