Shamanic Priesthood
Marita came to us already Ordained to Apostolic
Priesthood through a non-Home Temple Bishop who
had been Consecrated by Bishop Michael Zaharkis. I
had Consecrated Michael twenty-five years ago. Both
Bishops had since died, and Marita was without a
Bishop. She had not received the training we require,
but wanted to make it up by "fast-tracking." She met
weekly with a group of three other women in training
under my wife, Bishop Willa Keizer, and was
subconditionally re-Ordained in December of 2004.
As a Native American shaman, Marita was deeply trained and skilled in Native American healing and ritual. She worked with dying people in a hospice program and wanted to be authorized to function as a Hospice Chaplain. Since Marita is an extremely talented psychic, ritualist, and healer, a Chaplaincy would allow her to draw upon these skills to assist dying people to make a positive transition. Marita has now achieved her goal. She serves as a Hospice Chaplain in the Monterey Bay area and is completing her Bachelor of Divinity (B.D.) Degree with our School of Sacred Studies. |

Exorcist and Ghost Hunter
Larry and Debbie have been investigating paranormal
phenomena for many years and helping to clear
negative forces. Now Larry performs exorcisms as
part of his spiritual vocation. Take the link to their
web site. It is not presented as a religious page
because that turns people away who need their
services. So they are linked with various paranormal
sites. Take the link below to their Aware Foundation
site.
DEBBIE ELWARD has been a paranormal investigator with several organizations since 1993. Born with the biblical charisma of "Discernment of Spirits" she is able to use her gift to evaluate, or "discern" spirit activity, whether divine, human or preternatural, often being able to obtain the names and numbers of spirit entities. She is also excellent at taking "psychic" photography and capturing images on film. She is currently attending the Independent Catholic church in the area. Along with her husband, Larry, they started the Aware foundation in the summer of 2000 and together they bring many years of experience to the paranormal field. REVEREND LARRY ELWARD also started out as a paranormal investigator and has also worked with several ghost hunting organizations since 1986. He studied demonology for many years and this interest lead him into the seminary. He graduated from Holy Apostles Seminary in 1988 with a Masters Degree in theology and was ordained a sub deacon for the Eastern Catholic Church that same year. He has performed or assisted at hundreds of exorcism/deliverance for people of all faiths. Larry was ordained an Independent priest with the Old Catholic Church on June 5, 2004. Through this he hopes to reach out to more people in need of his ministry. He is also currently ministering in outreach programs in Bridgeport, CT. |
