The skull has been touring extensively throughout 2008 - whether the Grand Canyon, Monaco, Germany or Australia.
We hope you will enjoy some of the photographs taken along our travels. If you want to share some of your photographs with us, please send them to us.
In recent years, Karin Tag, CEO of the Seraphin-Institut in Germany, has been examining the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull using her newly developed photon camera.
In April 2008, Karin Tag visited Bill Homann in Chicago. During this visit, several series of photographs were made, showing the photon energy flow between the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull and Bill Homann. You can clearly see the energy field which emanates from it, as soon as Bill came into contact with the Crystal Skull.
Bill Homann is sitting in a meditative position with the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull.
This picture is Bill in the same meditative position, but taken with the photon camera.
Energy fields arise as soon as Bill came into contact with the crystal skull. Red light bands are circling around them.
The red colour shows photon interferences that represents the Chi energy. The blue and green colours represent energy that spread out in wave-patterns through the room.
The interferences are boosting. The center of these is the crystal skull and the patterns themselves are pulsing outwards. The skull begins to shine in yellow colours.
The apparent photon force field then expands rapidly.
The photon activity increases like a pulse.
A bright glow envelops the crystal skull.
Explosions of positive photon energy are being emitted from the Crystal Skull. These are visible in yellow, pink and light blue colours.
This series of photographs shows that the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull is generating a strong electromagnetic field, which interacts with the person near the crystal skull.
The following pictures are another series showing the energy communication between Bill Homann and two crystal skulls.
In this picture you can see Bill Homann sitting behind the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull (right side) and the Crystal skull Corazon De Luz (left side). They are positioned on the table. Bill has his hands on either side of the skulls. The photon camera shows the meridians of Bill glowing red while he is connecting the skulls.
After the first impulses of photon exchange, the energy flows between the skulls are getting impulses like explosions. You can see the yellow and light blue energy pulsing around the skulls and Bill.
The photon impulses are getting stronger. Flashes of white, yellow and light blue energy spread around in circles.
After a period of several minutes you can see the skulls glowing in yellow. The skulls finished their communicating by using Bill as a transmitter with a final impulse of yellow, white and light blue energy. The skulls are now connected to each other.
Crystal skulls can not only communicate with each other, they also have the ability to send out information and program crystals that are placed around them.
Bill Homann, Heir to the Crystal Skull
Spirituality and God have always been the center of my life as far back as I can remember. I went to a Christian school and religion was my favorite subject. After graduation I continued my studies in world religions and various spiritual pathways, always being open to the experience of a more holistic way of living and thinking.
In the 70’s and early 80’s I studied Ekencar and that was where I learned to go within for the ultimate truth. Since then I have worked with the Rosicrucian teachings which have influenced me until this day.
The first time I heard about the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull was when I was in the air force while stationed at Panama in 1968. I remember seeing a picture of it in an article I was reading and I thought it was strange that I couldn’t take my eyes from it.
While in Panama I ended up staying at a base near the canal. The pictures of F.A. Mitchell-Hedges that were on the wall intrigued me along with the corresponding stories.
One story is that F.A. was called to the canal to free it from a giant squid that had stopped all of the traffic. He had to harpoon it, carve it up in smaller pieces and tug the pieces out to sea.
While I was on the lovely island of Toboga off of the coast of Panama I stayed at a wonderful hotel on the beach. The owner told me stories of Mitchell-Hedges and his daughter Anna. They stayed at this hotel while sailing into the bay fishing for great sharks. These and other stories remained with me through the years.
Many years later I heard about Anna Mitchell-Hedges (Sammy) and the Crystal Skull from friends in Chicago. I called Anna and set up an appointment to meet with her and the skull in 1981.
Meeting Anna for the first time left me feeling like I have known her forever and we became instant friends. That feeling only grew stronger as we spent more and more time together and we both came to realize that our bond was karmic.
When I saw the Crystal Skull for the first time it felt like meeting with an old friend. There was a feeling of respect, connection and communication with it. I almost felt compelled to work with it.
In the last eight years of Anna’s life I had the privilege of having her live with me so that I could watch over her and take care of her. Because of our strong bond she has honored me by trusting that I will carry on her wishes concerning the future of the skull.
I believe the main message that the skull is trying to share with the world is for all of us to drop our egos and to work and support each other as if we are all one. That all living beings contribute to the whole and all are sacred. We are not separate from each other; we are all connected through love. Rather than live in our own single minded consciousness we need to embrace unity consciousness.
I also feel that the crystal skulls are here to help man connect to a higher consciousness. That they work by connecting with the heart of man by breaking down the barriers that keep people from feeling oneness with each other. This is where the great healing takes place and this is why we are now calling this “The Skull of Love”.
There are many stories and beliefs about what the skull is, where it came from and how it was made. I can not honestly say I know for sure any of those answers. No one does. It is up to each individual to come to their own conclusion and belief around this. It should be experienced in order to get an intuitive feeling about what it means for you.
Some of you may even wonder why I am now the keeper of this skull. I believe because of my past ties the skull is where it wants to be. It is multidimensional and would be gone if it didn’t want to be here in this reality.
Anna was one of my favorite teachers; a great soul and a blessing to me every day.
I plan on letting the world know about two great souls, Anna and her father. I want everyone to know about their life, their adventures and what they did for mankind.
I also plan on letting as many people that are interested in the skull have the opportunity to experience it. The public interest in crystal skulls is increasing and so I will do my best to communicate the message of the skulls through lectures, conferences, research, workshops, documentaries and traveling around the world.
Bill Homann is the current owner and caretaker of the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull. Anna “Sammy” Mitchell-Hedges spent the last eight years of her life living in Bill’s home under his tender care. She passed away on April 11th (Bill’s birthday), at the age of 100 years young. It is Bill’s desire and hope, to carry on Sammy and her father’s legacy with the Crystal Skull.
Bill Homann was born in the small charming town of La Porte, Indiana. La Porte means “The Door” and is woven around thirteen pristine lakes. Since he still makes Indiana his home, it seems quite fitting to call him “Indy”. After all, he has the same adventurous spirit as F.A. Mitchell-Hedges; his hero and the true “Indiana Jones”.
Bill had quite a bit of excess energy in his youth and soon became aware that Martial Arts was the perfect way to direct and balance this energy. Bill realized that the essence of Martial Arts is love and found that it taught him how to focus on inner peace and how to love himself; which Bill discovered was fundamental to loving others.
In his teenage years Bill studied Judo. While in the service he studied Karate, Tae Kwon Do and Aikido. In 1969 he received his 1st degree black belt in Soryu Karate Do while in stationed in Panama.
After the service and back in Indiana, Bill’s search of a Martial Arts school nearby came up nil. In 1971 he decided to open his own school because “he wanted people to work out with”. Thus, the Michigan City Karate Academy was opened for business.
Currently, Bill and his son Brett are partners and co owners of “Homann Karate Do” in Crown Point, Indiana. You can still find Bill teaching classes there in the evenings and enjoying every moment of it.
Bill believes that both the Crystal Skull and Martial Arts incorporate the mastering of energy flow. Just like the Martial Arts, the Skull balances the mental, physical and emotional bodies through helping one learn self understanding.
Jon Rolls lives in the little Priory town of Christchurch in the UK, which is coincidentally very close to where MH and Sammy used to live during their time at Sandbanks, Fordingbridge and the New Forest. Like MH and Sammy, Jon is also a keen fisherman, although, unlike MH and Sammy, prefers to hook fish that are considerably smaller than the boat he’s fishing from.
Jon has been an advertising copywriter for 20 years - 8 of which were spent in London at Saatchi & Saatchi, at that time the world’s biggest advertising agency group.
Four years ago, Jon wrote a fictional film script entitled ‘Legend of the Crystal Skulls’. The synopsis was posted on a script website and attracted the attention of Cris Winter. Cris encouraged Jon to read MH’s 1954 autobiographical bestseller ‘Danger My Ally’ and a year later, Jon, Cris, Bill and Sammy spent a fortnight together putting the finishing touches to a feature length screenplay and four one-hour docudramas.
Cris lives in Scotland very near the historical town of St Andrews. Like F A Mitchell-Hedges, he is a rebel by nature and in some ways they shared the same boyhood dreams and dramas and the quest for discovery.
In 1969 having very little money and jobless he embarked on a moment of utter madness and started with his partner the world’s first Baked Potato Shop in Edinburgh next to the Golf Tavern on the links. Some of Cris’ enterprises are still going and flourishing in Edinburgh.
In late 1988 Cris having the bug for adventure up stakes, literally “gave away all his interests in another moment of utter madness”, paid off all debts and set off on a round the world quest.
It was during that quest he first met Sammy in May 1989 in Kitchener. She greeted him at the door with words “Hello… you are a lucky boy … she went on to clarify that “today is when I have an open house to see the skull and you are the only one here” … from that day all of Cris’ plans were to change.
Over the years he has met and stayed with Sammy on a number of occasions. In 1994 he arranged and took Marion Sunderland (The Green Stone & Eye of Fire) to put the Green Stone with the Crystal Skull. It was on that trip that Cris met Bill Homann for the first time.
In 2003 by a very fortuitous and coincidental set of circumstances he met Jon Rolls. That meeting was to open up a whole new set of avenues and Jon and Cris co-wrote the film script Danger My Ally as both a 4 part documentary and a feature film. Jon had already written the film script on the Mystery of the Crystal Skull before the present Indy film was announced. There was no doubt in their minds that a lot of the material was used by the film industry that was directly attributed to the experiences of F A Mitchell-Hedges. Even Stargate SG-1 used that same analogy in the episode called “The Crystal Skull”.
Cris says “I know there is an enormous amount of controversial information about Mitchell-Hedges and the Crystal Skull that just does not add up… but you have to read and feel the whole story. Then you get a feeling that Mitchell Hedges was writing in a sort of painful code and was trying to tell you something that he perhaps could not tell. It is only when you begin to feel the measure of the man and all he achieved that you can see clearly that perhaps there is just another side to this.”
In June 2007, Cris attended the private final laying to rest of Sammy at Shaldon in Devon. She had passed away in April of that same year. “It was a highly emotional event and it was then that we all decided to make some big waves.”
Very soon afterwards the film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was announced and very soon after that we were on board with a documentary film director to make the story happen.
Later that same year, at a Saunière meeting in Edinburgh Cris caught up again Philip Coppens, who joined us in our endeavours. Together with Corjan de Raaf, Philip organised the revamping of the website and is involved with Bill Homann in some very exciting future events in the UK & France. “We are now riding the wave we created. Where it will take us, only our dreams will know but we are going very much in the words of Mitchell-Hedges… Follow your Star.”
Karin Tag is the CEO and founder of the ISR-Institute and the Seraphim-Institute. She received her doctorate in holistic sciences from the University of Oregon. Karin is a Reiki Master and is certified in the art of Traditional Chinese Medicine, homeopathic therapies and Phyto therapy. She has also authored five books.
Karin lives in a small, quaint town near Frankford, Germany. She is fluent in seven languages. Since 1986, Karin has explored and researched archaeological and geological excavations.
Karin’s interest in unusual objects began while she was studying artifacts in the Senckenberg Museum in Frankford and the Jurassic Museum in Eichstätt (Germany). During her excavations she found many artifacts that she donated to these museums.
These experiences drove her into intensive studies of alternative remedial arts and research into electromagnetic fields and photon energy. This ultimately led to the development of her photon camera, which is a mixture of several methods of measuring electromagnetic fields and photon movements.
Karin opened her own institute in 1996. Since then she has lectured in physical welfare, conducted workshops and led worldwide expeditions to many spiritual sites to investigate the energetic properties of these powerful places.
Since 2007 Karin has been involved in international collaboration with many university hospitals while investigating human energy fields. She has also lectured for naturopathic organizations in the fields of alternative diagnostics methods being used in veterinarian medicine and in the care of Olympic sports horses by means of photon diagnostics.
Karin is also the caretaker of Corazon De Luz, her incredible Crystal Skull that originated from South America and is considered to be ancient. This skull is believed to be connected to the Incas from the Holy Valley of Pisaq, Cusco. Karin feels that her purpose is to use her knowledge for better understanding the energy of the crystal skulls and to show their ability to heal and protect. She would eventually like to see all the crystal skulls united.
Jim (James Frederick) Honey returned to this world June 6th, 1959, 6 days before his namesake Frederick Albert Mitchell-Hedges departed. Raised on the family farm in Jordan, Ontario, Canada, Jim spent much of his younger years exploring the caves and crevices of the nearby Niagara Escarpment.
After graduating from college in 1979 he spent the next 15 years in Kitchener, Ontario, as a Field Service Technician, servicing computers throughout the countryside. It was during those travels that Jim deepened his interest in history and began collecting old and “interesting” books. He learned to scuba dive, was a founding partner in Discovery Dive Charters on Lake Erie, and a co-discoverer of several historic shipwrecks on the Great Lakes.
Jim was first introduced to Anna Mitchell-Hedges in Kitchener in 1989 just before she relocated to England. The two met again in 1994 by sheer “coincidence”. Jim and his young son Brandon began visiting Anna on a regular basis and in 1995 took up residence in her basement while he prepared the re-printing of Danger My Ally. During this time they entertained many interesting people including Shirley McLaine and Midori Fujimoto. He assisted in the production of three films, one for the BBC and the other for NTV from Japan and an “expose” by CBC’s Fifth Estate. He organized Anna’s exhibitions and together with Bill Homann they arranged the trip of a lifetime, an expedition back to Belize and Lubaantun with Anna. This was then followed up by a tour from Toronto to Chicago with Mayan Shaman, Leonardo Acal. With the help of David Hatcher-Childress and Adventures Unlimited, Danger My Ally was released, published by “Mitchell-Hedges and Honey”. Jim was appointed the Canadian Manager of the World Explorers Club, a title which he proudly holds to this day. Jim’s personal film credits include The Adventures of the Great Lakes (1993), The Fifth Estate - Mystery of the Crystal Skull (1997), The Sea Hunters Episode IV (2002) and Mysteries of the Deep (2005).
These days Jim spends his weekdays in the offices, or somewhere on the water, with Shark Marine Technologies Inc. a manufacturer of underwater remote operated vehicles. His weekends are spent exchanging philosophies with visitors to his bookstore Sangrael, in Elora, Ontario.
Living back on the family farm with his daughter Bethany, Jim was recently asked about his thoughts on Anna, her father and the Skull. He replied, “From the very first time I met Anna I felt there was a story here, so much deeper and more mysterious, that it’s unfortunate it’s been shrouded by the attention and controversy surrounding the Crystal Skull. F.A. had a message for us all. A message which he professed loudly, and lived. He put it into words in Danger My Ally, on page 254 and I quote ‘Life which is lived without zest and adventure, is not life at all!’”
