top of ring |
eagle shield on side of ring |
Wanda June Hill was
given a very special ring by Elvis which she recently (August,
2006) re-discovered in her vault. As she wrote to me about it:
This ring is very heavy, made
from metal, not silver, not all gold and seems to be brass and
something? It is big. On the sides are shields with the three
point top and oval/rounded sides and bottom. On the shields that
can still be seen somewhat, it's very well worn and old, are
eagles with the wings spread and the head sideways-they are
small and they are standing on big boughs it looks like, though
hard to tell it's so worn. There is blue inlay of some kind
below the bough and rounded areas that seem to be water maybe or
perhaps clouds in the sky? Above the eagles head is a curved
long vine or something with one arrow head looking leaf at the
end? that's on the sides of the ring. The top has a large base
that is beveled to look like to me, sun rays all around a center
that has a raised bed of what looks like copper, and on top of
that is another "set" that is about 1/2 inch long and a tad less
wide with a cut off top and bottom to the whole thing. I will
try to draw a picture of this entire thing. Now, in the center
of the top setting is some kind of design that has gold set into
it or onto it in the very center-when the light or sun hits it
is sends a bright light out of it. The top is a rough cross as
far as I can tell-it is worn down too, and there is behind the
cross red color inlay. Across the whole bed is some white inlay
that looks like maybe a robe-or part of one-it's worn down too.
And at the bottom is about 4 curved narrow blue inlays . Now,
the entire set with the color and markings is edged in gold.
Around the under bed is a wreath of leaves that go all around
the top setting of metal and colored areas. I can't tell what it
is exactly but I think it has religious meanings in some
way-spiritual meanings of some type. The entire thing is strange
as it was very old and hand made-roughly hand made but extremely
well detailed I imagine when new. This ring was given to him, he
was supposed to give it back when he didn't complete the
necessary steps and etc: that it took to reach his goal-to be a
priest so he could really help people in need of spiritual
guidance. This was when he was wearing those big scarves over
his shoulders-different colors-white for step one, gold for step
two and there was two more-with the last one to be lavender. I
don't know the third now. He gave it up because Priscilla (even
though they were separated and divorcing) and his father
ridiculed his efforts and desires so much, and convinced him he
wasn't able to handle his own problems-how could he even think
he could handle anyone else's? etc. Anyway, he felt he couldn't
do it-plus he couldn't rid himself of the sleeping pills
entirely at that time either. He thought they were wrong for
what he wanted to be and do also.
Anyway this ring was supposed to be more than 100 years old and
I believe it-they would not take it back from him because they
felt he should have it-he was very moved by that...
He didn't tell me much, just that it was
old and that it carried within it all the "saints" who had gone
before, given their life for their religious beliefs and to save
mankind from evil and that it belonged to the master
priest-which he was striving to become one of. They gave
it to him at his second ceremony and he was to take full charge
of all it meant at the 4th but he never completed the 3 or
4th-and they wouldn't take it back as It "belonged with him" the
head master told him. He ought to have it. But to wear it
sparingly as he had not fulfilled his full training and it was
"powerful".
He said it was the only one, the original
handmade and designed by those who formed the society of the
brotherhood. He would not say who, what or where...didn't
want to talk about it...
I think I have seen pictures of
him wearing it-on stage shots-but only a very few times...he
gave it to me and said that I should keep it as it was valuable
and the spiritual background of it was sacred. He wanted me to
keep it, put it away safe and leave it there until I found the
right place for it...that it would show me when the time was
right. I should never wear it except when I needed to have
spiritual strength and understanding as it would "protect and
guide me" and then he said those many spirits from it's
past...would be there for me. Well, as I said, I have been going
through things and I had totally and completely forgotten that
ring! It was kind of scary to have it, I put it up and forgot
about it!!! Anyway, I have it out now and I thought maybe I can
get some photographs of it. I don't have a clue as to what it is
on it or what it represents at all.
He said it had come from European background and he was looking
forward to being "worthy of it" and I think that is why he quit
wearing it-he didn't want to keep it for fear it would
"disappear" or he'd "lose" it somehow. I think he was afraid
someone would take it or discard it because it's not actual gold
or white gold-but it does have some on it. That center strip is
almost like a lighting bolt but it's worn and you can't tell
really what it was-but it certainly reflects the light! As does
the edging which is very tiny and delicate.

I (Maia) was shown by
El'vis / Rhama
Azul that the eagle depicted
on the shield (see image above) is holding a serpent in it's beak. This is a
typical symbology of creating balance over primal planetary
forces. By the uninitiated it often meant "conquering evil," but
this was not it's true meaning.
"Note that this is what is called a
transcendental symbol, one that bridges two different
dimensions, like the earth and sky. When Zarathustra came down
from the mountain he was accompanied by a serpent and an eagle.
The feathered serpent and winged dragons combine the two
elements into one entity." -

An eagle with a serpent in this
mouth is the insignia of the Tribe of Dan. In the article "The
Mysterious Tribe of Dan" we also read that the "Mysterious
Shar-Dana" (shar meaning "sharon" or a flat plain) descended
from the Tribe of Dan. This is certainly interesting, since just
about a week ago El'vis / Rhama Azul gave a message to me for
the Meditational group on the ELC Forums on the
Rose of Sharon. (Please bear in mind that the above
article is highly biased against the mystical, ie "pagan" and
"idolatry" as they interpret it - but historically, it is a good
reference to the basic history of the Tribe of Dan.)
The Twatha de Dannan of Ireland -
the magical race of Ireland stems from the Tribe of Dan.
Interesting also that Lisa Marie
first husband "Danny" is the father of her daughter "Danielle."
Also mentioned in the above article is the song "Danny Boy"
which was one of the last non-concert songs Elvis recorded.
Indeed the name "Dan" comes from that tribe.
While it is not widely known,
Elvis did have some Hebrew ancestors. Could they have been from
the Tribe of Dan?
I receive from
El'vis / Rhama
Azul that this ring was originally crafted under the guidance of
Paracelsus. It is a ring of HEALING, although it is only a
catalyst for the divine being within the individual to self-heal
or transmit self-healing to others. El'vis / Rhama Azul
tells me that in a previous incarnation, he was the first one to
wear the ring. Paracelsus oversaw the ring's creation, but it
was to be worn by another - the first of a 'linage' of which the
El'vis / Rhama Azul soul was the first to receive it. El'vis /
Rhama Azul declines to speak about the linage at this time.
