During the Histories & Mysteries Conference in Edinburgh, November 22-23, 2008, the skull went on public display, for the first time ever. In the week leading up to the event, especially radio was devoting attention to the future arrival of the skull – part of a weekend-long celebration of true “Indiana Joneses”, people who have taken on the mysteries and brought them into the realm of history. The skull was the star attraction. Bill Homann related how he was fulfilling the late Anna Mitchell-Hedges wishes, namely that as many people as possible could see the skull. In this enterprise, he was helped by Cris Winter, co-organiser of the event, and a friend of Sammy for almost two decades.
Bill Homann had to overcome a battle with pneumonia in the week leading up to the event and was immediately confronted, on Saturday, with a group of newspaper photographers. It meant that after The Times and the Edinburgh Evening News had run with the story on Saturday, all other British Sunday papers and media (e.g. the BBC and Sky websites) reported on this unique event.

During the public display, no less than one thousand people came to see the skull. The crowd was a mixture of excited – and the occasional frightened – children, as well as many adults who seemed as enthralled by the unique artefact as the younger visitors. Indeed, all the media’s attention meant that if the public display would have lasted longer, several more thousands would have filed past the object.
Apart from the skull itself, thanks to Harry Oldfield’s PIP camera, the audience was welcomed to an “energetic” display. For eight hours, the energy levels of and around the skull were observed, and some interesting anomalies were noted - some of which were pointed out to the audience.

The skull was also the main attraction of “11:22, The Happening”, two well-attended one hour sessions, whereby people were invited to relax and meditate - if inclined to do so - aided by music visualisation, in the presence of the skull.

Cover of the event can be found at the following sites: the
BBC, Edinburgh News, The Times, The Sun, Edinburghguide, 123 GoNews and many others.

From November 2007 onwards, the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull has inspired Thelma Moeran to write down the following three poems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

All directions flow thru’me
In that I am alone
I unify the Earth with stars
Alignment is my throne.

From East to West and North and South
My energies hold fast
I also am a pathway, to the future, and the past.

All tribal children soon will come
And gather near a mountain
Pulsating stars will touch their hearts
Expect unification.

A wondrous band of Golden Light
Will touch the hearts of All, and God’s new time
Will then emerge
To santify us All!

From a photo of the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull at Jeanne and Jaap’s home in Arizona, November 2007

Happen that we’ve met before!
Come in through the open door!
Look around explore the scene.

You’re walking now on crystal floor,
Something you’ve not done before.
Chambers lie on either side.
Open up those chambers wide.

From Room One, amazing grace
And sweetness of the soil.
Minerals of every sort.
From ceiling to the floor.

A blueprint of the sands of time,
That mark the passing ages.
A pattern for the coming years,
As foretold by the Sages.

Go now to the other side,
And try another room.
This one has a passageway,
With great light coming through.
It lifts, expands, and stimulates
Endless is the view.

Welcome to the dragon’s den
Hurry now, pick up your pen.
You know the way, so, for today,
We will explore again.
Today turn the handle of the third door on the left.
This door is hard to open you must try quite hard
(I had a sense of great antiquity and mentally I pushed hard)

There are lots of other skulls placed upon a shelf.
Look at them quite carefully. Pick one for yourself.
I choose a bluey-white one. It has a special feel.
I am glad to reconnect again. It holds much pleasure
And much pain.

Mitchell-Hedges skull to Thelma:
Your are welcome any time,
Just come in across the line.

Glastonbury, England, August 2008
