      NunsDrakka's Child and other Stories - Hedley Griffin

      Introduction

      1.jpg

      Much of the spiritual and moral content of this book was directly inspired and provided by knowledge and teachings given by the Erasmus Foundation, a spiritual teaching and healing centre in Suffolk, UK.

      The Earth is sick at present and out of balance. It will be healed when Mankind has learnt to come back into balance himself. Our future is our children and if we can introduce a little spiritual teaching when reading stories to our children then surely our future has some hope.

      This book aims to provide just a little spiritual knowledge for future generations to come.

      Our World is sick. Heal it by curing yourself.

      —Paddina Cole

      NunsDrakka’s Child

      1.jpg

      A long time ago, before history, before the time of the ‘Winged Pharaohs’, even before the Second Civilisation, Lemuria, when the majestic dinosaurs walked the Earth, there lived a great and mighty Lord. His name was NunsDrakka. He and his people lived freely in the dry deserted land amongst the rocks and caves of LazKandra.

      It had been a very peaceful time when all animals were not afraid to walk and commune with the people. The animals and the people would mind-meld, using their minds to communicate without talking. Everyone was kind and understanding to all creatures and fear was unknown. But this civilisation was young, fresh and untried. It was also a time when, although evil was known, it had not impacted, and was not as powerful as it is in our World today. Even so, the seeds of unrest had been sown. A little strife and conflict had begun to disturb this gentle culture.

      The people were simple and carved everything they needed from quartz, granite and jade. They also created beautiful objects from amber and rock crystal. They ate very little, but lived a very long time. NunsDrakka himself was very, very old, although he appeared to look young, and soon he would need to leave LazKandra, return Home and sleep for a period of recharging. But before doing so, he was so concerned about the increasing unrest in his land that he felt the need to have children to follow the royal lineage. He hoped that his offspring would keep order over any troubled corners in his kingdom where rumblings of disquietude were threatening to destroy this beautiful culture.

      Then one day, his youngest wife gave birth to his first child, a boy. Because he was gracious NunsDrakka asked his people to give his son a name, but no-one stepped forward to offer any suggestions. Messengers were sent out into far corners of the land. Many weeks went by and nobody provided a suitable name for NunsDrakka’s son.

      The Lord became very sad.

      What say you? he asked his people. Does no-one care enough to give my son a name?

      Everyone remained silent.

      As the sun set over the desert, the fingers of lilac twilight beckoned that time of evening known as ‘between the dog and the wolf’, and the elders were summoned. Eventually, in conclave, it was decided that Voluta, the eldest and wisest, should advise NunsDrakka.

      Good Voluta, said NunsDrakka. You are a kind and wise woman. Can you not find for me my son’s name?

      Yes, NunsDrakka, I could try, but can you not find a suitable name yourself? After all, you are the child’s father?

      Yes, but as I believe a name should have meaning and it is important, I wanted my people to decide.

      Come, my Lord. Then, let us ask the Crystal.

      Voluta led NunsDrakka across the desert. The journey was to take several days, as they trekked across the hot and barren wasteland. Travelling night and day they did not stop until they reached the Forbidden Cave.

      Slowly they descended down, down into the great depths, while a harmony of beautiful sound greeted them from below. When they finally
