2007:

Burning Man August 2007 Kaia Ra at the Gaia Matreiya Temple

Priestess Kaia Ra and Guardian Priest Adam Apollo, August 2007. Daily temple guardianship is an initiation of the highest order.

I give thanks to every person and being who made this temple possible on the playa many hearts were healed and awakened from this visionary space.

This week-long experience of temple ritual, guardianship & priestessing was one of my first steps forward from working primarily one-on-one with clientele as a psychic healer to a more community-focused vision for my channeling work.

She is a graphic designer who enjoyed performing at a Burning Man festival and has now created her own brand/scam for fun & profit.

Spirit Walking
branding a movement in consciousness
The past ten years has seen an international explosion of new thought in the realm of faith, spirituality and eco-consciousness. Defining my offering as a professional channel of Spirit, community leader, and ceremonialist has simultaneously created an opportunity to visually define this movement in conscious living.

Branding my life work continually evokes the questions: How do I offer ancient teachings in a modern container that maintains both relevance and authenticity? Further, how will Spirit Walking be expressed with clarity as a branded modality within a saturated field of exploding spirituality? As a pioneer of this work, how am I an essential element of that brand?

As a modern-day shamaness and visual artist, these are questions I will continue to explore as my life work unfolds. I have found that a flexible balance of consistent key elements within an ever evolving brand provides a visual touchstone for those inspired by the modality of Spirit Walking.

I believe branding in combined creative service to an individual, and a modality (or service, product, etc.), within a movement is a socially emerging trend that will continue to grow exponentially in the coming years.

This year she has received several trademarks including  Kaia Ra, Embody Your Sovereignty, The Sophia Code, and The Sophia Dragon Code.

Book review of The Sophia Code:

Real or Charlatan? Faith or Facts?

To me- this really feels like some kind of New-Agey-Catholic (heavy on Mother Mary) mashup with some Native American shamanism thrown in for good measure. And no it doesn't ring true on my personal truth meter located on my crown- but of course your mileage may vary with what resonates with you. In the the interest of full disclosure- I was initially very excited about this and went online to the FB page and what I saw there- and the promotion/price structure for this and upcoming money-makers...it honestly looks a lot like a pyramid scheme thing- much like the "reconnection" thing with the gimmicky price structure. What really left me with a bad taste in my mouth was the FB page promoting this- to see any modern woman today being glamorized for dressing in a dead animal- with half it's face and ears still attached- well I honestly don't know what they were thinking with this "photo shoot"? I found it sickening but maybe if she had represented herself as indigenous- was that the angle? For seekers like me though- research didn't turn up ANYTHING. This woman who holds herself to be a prophet- pretty much doesn't exist at least under the name of Kaia Ra...Personally I like a bit more than vague background. Unless she just dropped out of the sky one day- and I am being serious when I acknowledge that is maybe a real possibility but...I'm just not real big on that "blind faith" deal but if that's what floats your boat or gets you your wings folks- it's all yours.

She claims she was ritually abused, raped and tortured over the first 18 years of her life. She says she and other children were trafficked by a ring of politicians and other prominent people. She says she witnessed the death of other children.

Everything from KR seems ripped off from other Nuagers or conspiracy theorists. That claim of a conspiracy of world leaders to rape children was made over 20 years ago, and even other conspiracy theorists find it wacko.

KR uses all Nuage trends and buzz words. Everything is tossed at the wall to see what sticks / what will convince people to give her money. If you don't like "quantum" and "oversoul" you can get "divine genome" and "paradigm breakthroughs". "Ascended Masters". Transmissions, activations, empowerments, initiations. Immersives and miracles. Something for every Nuage consumer. Including a "dragon tribe". Mount Shasta and Sedona are favorite locations.

She claims she channels White Buffalo Woman, Isis, Hathor, Green Tara, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, Quan Yin. http://kaiara.com/recorded-transmissions/

KR has professional photo shoots done. Full hair and makeup, costumes and backgrounds, with poses designed to appear saintly/ goddess-y. Some of the visual branding she uses includes displaying the Sanskrit tattoos on her arms. Along with use of feathers and furs.

Another image to show how she is marketing herself.

Call Fish & Wildlife.

[Defend the Sacred]

I look at all the money that went into that set and all that bling, the hair and makeup and photography and tattooing... the money made by these people... then I think of the poverty that the people she's stealing from live in. The way the actual spiritual leaders of these cultures live - simple but spiritual. Not consumerist. Not capitalist. Not like this.

This is obscene.

[Piff]

I let Fish & Wildlife know about the feathers and furs, I encourage others to do the same. The feathers may be from her partner "Dane Golden Wolf" http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=5020.0 - he makes feather fans http://danegoldenwolf.com/medicinetools/ and he can be seen in her videos performing pseudo-ceremonies with them.

One of the image clips here is of the two in performance. Also of one of KR without performance makeup.

Speaking of performance, I wonder if KR will eventually claim that this all is simply performance art, an art project. Although she is making much more money by pretending it is authentic.

Her buzz word is "sovereignity", she has her own definition of this word. This word is a major part of her self branding. She pronounces it dramatically, tosses it into her Nuage babble streams, and keeps her followers hooked as they try to figure out what she means.

KR says that when her big vision happened in 2009, she conveniently was at her computer so she was able to transcribe what the supposed spirit goddesses told her.

KR preaches the gospel of "it's all the same-ism". She ping pongs from Mother Mary to Isis to whoever as if they are simply different flavors of all the same thing.

I've watched parts of several videos, of her lectures and channeling sessions. I'm familiar with Nuage channeling done in the mid to late 1980s,  and I see a lot in common with what KR is doing now. KR has sexed and blinged up channeling, but it is still the same old thing. Her version is extra offensive.

Another example of how offensive she is: http://kaiara.com/mlk/

[Piff]

KR says one of her inspirations was "Amorah Quan Yin", AQY ran Dolphin Star Temple International http://dst-international.net/?page_id=23

[Piff]

Another example of offensive KR b.s.:

"If you feel drawn to the imagery and practices of “The Black Madonna” your soul is being activated by a joint transmission from both Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene, oracle for Kali."

Image uploaded here is a clip from one of her videos. More feathers and fur, another staged performance for customers.

This is a seriously problematic thing that the newagers, and some of the neopagans, are doing.

I first noticed it in the 1990s with some of the English neopagans who were trying to rebrand and sell Arthurian legends as Celtic spiritual practices. They took Arthur's story of rising from obscure orphan to King (which is basically the Harry Potter story, as well) as a kind of Hero's Journey and model of "personal empowerment." As part of this, they started using "personal sovereignty" as a buzzword for personal power, boundaries, "prosperity", etc... all the stuff newagers "pray" for.

Aside from the usual narcissism of the newage, it may not have been quite so offensive over there. But here on Turtle Island, with ongoing struggles for Indigenous Sovereignty... having a bunch of white people play Indian in a quest for personal "Sovereignty" takes on a decidedly sinister intent.

Here in America, in that context, no matter what she says... I look at those pictures and I think it's just code for white supremacy.
