Magick River and the Star Children of the Diamond Constellation

It's about time I properly introduce Magick River...Mother Mary and child of the light Antares, Anora, Ahowl and all the truly magical soul beings who are sharing light and love with others who come along their path.



Some years ago, a home was created
among the asli (aboriginals) of Malaysia next to a smooth flowing, clean river. Originally made from bamboo and set high in the hills I'm sure there were just as many parties then as now.

Nowadays, the home they have made is called Magick River and through their dreaming, have created a home for us all. A beautiful bamboo house aptly named
the 'Bamboo Palace' is open to all, and set in the sublime green hills near Kuala Kubu Baru which is about one hour by bus from KL.

The asli have long created homes next to rivers. One thoughtless decision from the local government to build a dam brought ruin. Mary, Antares and a group of like minded locals fought the decision to no avail, the dam was built and inevitable flooding occured destroying the asli's homes and community.

The homes were rebuilt later and the community was brought to the banks of the current site. Little white houses neatly built in a row, with gardens of tropical flowers and fruits..full of kids, games and families.


Just up from our bit of the river flows the Mother Falls..

..a tremendous powerful three tiered waterfall, the cauldron is a place of bubbling power where the boys are playing in this picture

The water has carved out a perfect round cavern and the water is...

oh so coooo-ldddddd!!

One luscious afternoon we made the trek, I went straight into the roaring cauldron with Estel-la (a Catalan gypsy) and after nervous giggling, we jumped into the pressure centre. Estel-la jumped first and was immediately squashed down into the powerful gushing stream. After splashing about, I went to take a wee peek over the edge of the falls and ... WHOOSH... disappeared over the edge! My feet taken from under me by the strong current, I bounced from side to side down the 'sluice' and plunged deep into green darkness pushed by the power of the water above me. A total heart stopper..hehe, not banged up, just feeling a little silly, but it was worth the ride!




So, below is a little shout out to the most amazing feature of Magick River..the 'mother and father'..MARY and ANTARES ..
