Following the St. Germain-en-Laye Treaty of March 29, 1632, it was by order of Cardinal Richelieu (Minister of State to King Louis XIII), that Commander Isaac de Razilly came to re-occupy the colony; so, too, did Germain Doucet (Sieur de La Verdure), the progenitor of this author's family, accompany him. Sailing from France on July 4, 1632, they arrived with a variety of livestock, seeds, tools, implements, arms, munitions, and other supplies, at La Have (LaHève), located at the mouth of the La Have River in present day Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, on September 8. In keeping with the forced Deportation of the French Acadian people, the family of Joseph Doucet and Anne Surette were exiled from Port Royal, to Massachusetts, on December 4, 1755. After a few weeks in Boston, they were assigned to the town of Gloucester in County Essex. Less than ten years later, Joseph is listed on a petition, to the Governor of Massachusetts, dated August 24, 1763, seeking permission, together with one hundred seventy-nine families, to return to Old France, which was not to be. Several years later, a second attempt was made. On February 8, 1766, one hundred forty-seven families (a total of eight hundred ninety souls), including Joseph Doucet, asked for permission to leave Massachusetts, in order to return to Canada; as before, they were unable to leave. It was during the following year, 1767, that the Acadians petitioned Governor Franklin of Nova Scotia for land on which to settle. As they were Roman Catholic, they could not be granted land. The Governor, however, allotted them land, along the shore of Baie Sainte-Marie (today known as St. Mary's Bay) on December 23, 1767. Joseph Doucet spent the first winter at Annapolis Royal (formerly Port Royal, his original home). With land surveyed in 1768, the township of Clare was laid out along Baie Sainte-Marie. Joseph Doucet settled near what is today called Church Point. The records show that, after completing the necessary requirements, he was granted title to Lot 58 (103 acres), in the township of Clare, on May 18, 1775, living there for the rest of his life, as both fisherman and farmer. Several of his sons, namely Joseph, Charles, Jean Magloire and Michel, settled further south in Yarmouth County, the area of this author's roots.

A Travel in Time to Grand Pré is a historically informative adventure, tying the history of the descendants of Yeshua to modern day Nova Scotia. Madeleine Sinclair feels disconnected with the era of her birth, yet aware of herself in another time period. Traveling back to 1754, she comes to learn, live and experience the lives of the French Acadian people, meeting Michel LeBlanc. Through the loving guidance of fellow time traveler, Madame Pêche, she comes to understand the predetermined course of her Sinclair bloodline, one that is linked to the Merovingians and the Knights Templar. Soon the reader is led to the apex of this adventure. Madeleine has been decreed the one who is to introduce the words of Yeshua, spoken at the height of his ministry, to the modern world. Herein, Yeshua explains how individuals can discover their truth(s) in order to live their lives to the fullest. This second edition contains previously unreleased material, including genealogical data.

Dr. Viktor Frankl, an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist, as well as a Nazi concentration camp survivor, was of the belief that choosing your attitude, in any given set of circumstances, is the highest level of freedom that exists. In braving the expanse to break free from the confines of socioeconomic and cultural molds, it becomes possible to realize such a transformation; we are, after all, Beings with limitless potential. It can be said that spiritual alchemy is the road-map to self realization; a journey where we must get out of our own way so that we can find (and achieve) the highest possible purity of ourselves in order to attain that which we all seek: the ultimate freedom of inner liberation.

Tracing Your Ancestry: French Acadian, French Canadian is a resource that will provide the family historian with the knowledge of how and where to begin; so, too, will they find themselves armed with ample websites to guide their search. Being of both French Acadian and French Canadian ancestry, author Michele Doucette felt it important to consolidate a book that other researchers might find beneficial, based on what she was able to uncover in the course of her own published research than spanned close to twenty-five years.

Knowing that you create with every breath that you take, whether you believe this to be true or not, it is imperative that you learn to create from a conscious (awakened) and deliberate state of existence. As the Magician, you possess the ultimate level of control over your life and the events within. It is the Magician that takes responsibility for who he/she is and what he/she can do. You are comprised of the very same energy that permeates the entirety of the universe; this is the energy, the power, the force, that you have available to you. Becoming a Magician is about shaping your life consciously and with loving intent. Courtesy of the reading of this first book, you will be able to glean the necessary tools to assist with understanding the world on a metaphysical plane.

As the creator of your life, you are the master of your own reality. To live a fully intentional life, as a Master, all of the choices and decisions that you make must be aligned with the core of who you are. In essence, magic can be described as "changing reality in accordance to comply with your will, your love and your imagination" (words attributed to Suzanne Hosang) meaning that magic is all about using your intention to create something that you want, to create something that you desire. The moment you accept, and acknowledge, that you are the creator of your reality, that you create everything in your life, the good, the bad, the ugly, you have embraced the ethical code of the Magician. This is the moment wherein you welcome the fact that you are in a powerful position to change whatever it is that you do not like about your current life. Of course, so, too, does this mean that you must be willing to embrace change, otherwise life becomes stagnant, boring, dull. Courtesy of the reading of this second book, filled with both I AM statements, as well as I AM affirmations, that have significantly impacted my life, I trust that you will begin to see new opportunities, new possibilities, new potentialities for living a totally magical life.

First came The Cosmos of the Soul: A Spiritual Biography in 2011, a book that highlighted this author's journey of awakening. In the 2014 sequel, The Cosmos of the Soul II: Messages, author Michele Doucette begins by emphasizing the importance of the miracle of the breath in conjunction with proper breathing techniques (and their value to the whole person); thereafter, she proceeds to focus on 33 vital messages imperative to the spiritual wellbeing of every reader. Based on personal experience, this easy to read and excellently researched and referenced text presents the reader with a welcomed mélange of methods and techniques that can be used to reconfigure one's subconscious mind. It is her contention that anyone following these methods will be better prepared to take conscious control of their lives.

The early Acadian settlers were mostly farmers. Farms were located along the banks of rivers that flowed into the Baie Française (Bay of Fundy) with Grand-Pré being the great agricultural area of the colony. Rather than clear the uplands, the Acadians drained the marshes along bays and rivers by building dykes (large, tall mounds of earth covered with grass) and aboiteaux (drainage systems with trap doors that let water out, but not back in) to keep sea water out. An amazing people, the Mothers of Acadia mtDNA Project is serving to paint a picture of the wondrous mtDNA diversity amongst the French Acadian women. Filles du Roi was a term that meant meaning daughters (wards) of the King. These ladies, in large part, started the French Canadian population explosion that has, over 350 years, spread across North America. With fur traders, storekeepers, indentured servants, dockhands, clerics, farmers, settlers, and soldiers in New France, the population was mostly men; hence, the King quickly came to realize that for this new colony to thrive there must be marriageable women. As a result, the King offered 50 livres dowry to each, in addition to whatever the lady brought with her; he also sponsored her transportation. Of the nearly 1000 women who undertook the journey, between 1663 and 1673, about 800 made it to Canada. These were not ladies of ill repute; some were from wealthy families. With all that is written about them, the details of why they chose to come to New France are, for the most part, lost to history. One can only hope that at least one made the journey merely to experience the unknown and satisfy a pioneer spirit. With Catherine de Baillon, a notable ancestress, identified in Men and Women of Renown: My Maternal Ancestry, demonstrating a proven medieval lineage back to Charlemagne, projects such as this always end up expanding their boundaries beyond a single volume; hence, it quickly became evident that the birth of this companion tome had become a mandatory necessity. Taking on a project of this magnitude becomes extremely challenging. In this Companion Volume, author Michele Doucette delves into additional genealogies, that include [1] the Merovingian dynasty, [2] the Frankish Carolingian dynasty, [3] the Capetian dynasty, the largest and oldest European royal house, [4] the Saxon Kings of England, Wessex, and Kent, [5] the Normans, [6] the House of Plantagenet, a branch of the Angevis, [7] The Irish Kings of Dalriada, [8] the Celtic Kings of Scotland, [9] the House of Dunkeld, [10] the Counts of Holland, [11] the Earl of Huntingdon, [12] the Counts of Flanders, [13] the House of Savoy, [14] the Duchy of Burgundy, [15] the Duchy of Provence, [16] the Kings of Upper Burgundy, [17] the Counts of Blois, [18] the Duchy of Clèves, [19] the Grand Princes of Kiev, [20] the Kings of Sweden, [21] the Byzantine Empire, [22] the Ottonian Dynasty, [23] the House of Billung, [24] the Counts of Leuven, [25] the Ardennes-Verdun dynasty, [26] the Counts of Boulogne, [27] the House of Poitiers, [28] the Léonese Monarchs, [29] the Counts of Castile, [30] the House of Montdidier, [31] the Grimaldi of Beuil, [32] the Grimaldi of Antibes, [33] the Magyars and King Andrew II of Hungary, [34] the First Crusade, and [35] the Counts of Andechs. In sharing some interesting information about Jeanne d'Arc, better known as Joan of Arc, she also explores how the Parthian Empire, the Arsacid Kings of Armenia, and the Mamikonians of Armenia tie into the Byzantium Emperors, the late Carolingians, the Bosonids, and the Capetians. In truth, a project of this magnitude is never-ending.

Genevieve Massignon, author of Les Parlers Français d'Acadie, sought to establish the origins of the French Acadian people based on linguistics, making the argument, in 1961, that many Acadians came from the Poitou region, south of Loudun, mainly because they were still speaking the old language, one rich and thick of Rabelais and Montaigne. She was also able to locate a number of records from the Poitou area that bore many of the same surnames found in early Acadie. Some of the villages in this area include Martaize, Aulnay, and La Chaussée. As a young man, Vincent Breau had been recruited as an agricultural worker for the fledging French colony of Acadie (possibly from the Poitou region of France). He settled at Port Royal (present day Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia). Several years after arrival, he married Marie Bourg, a daughter of another colonist from the same region in France. Never would I have thought, when I first began researching the Breau surname, that I would have ended up locating Catherine (de) Baillon, a 9th great grandmother, who, in turn would help me identify Charlemagne as a long lost ancestor. Many people of French-Canadian ancestry are able to trace their ancestry back to the Middle Ages, all courtesy of this woman. Catherine was born in Layes, near Montfort-L'Amaury in the Chevreuse Valley, Île-de-France, in 1645. Her parents, Alphonse de Baillon and Louise de Marle, were members of the minor French nobility. Coming to New France around 1669, as a daughter of the King, or Fille du Roi (meaning an immigrant bride that royal officials would send over to the colony to marry a settler), she married Jacques Miville dit Deschênes on November 12, 1669 at Québec City. Jacques Guéret dit Dumont, born 1665, son of René Guéret and Madeleine Vigoureaux, was my 7th great grandfather. Born in the Parish of Canchy, in Normandy, by 1691 he had immigrated to Nouvelle-France (present day Québec) by way of La Rochelle. Three years later, on April 19, 1694, he married Marie Anne Tardif (the daughter of Jacques Tardif and Barbe d'Orange, also a Fille du Roi) in Beauport, Québec. My research has validated that the lineage of Jacques Gueret dit Dumont also constitutes a medieval noble gateway back to Charlemagne. Add to all of this, a smidgeon of some magick from the land of the Tuatha dé Danann, the Aos Sí (people of the mounds), the Druids, the faery folk, the wee folk, the leprechaun ... and you have a most well-rounded lineage. The surname Feeley comes from O'Fithcheallaigh, a name that meant chess player. Chess was a game that was much in vogue in ancient Ireland. The clan originally belonged to Corca Laoidh (South-west Cork) and held territory in Ardfield and Clonakilty. By the 17th Century, branches of the sept had become established in north Connacht and Donegal. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Donal O'Fihelly, which was dated circa 1500; a writer of Irish Annals, known as The Last Warrior King, during the reign of King Henry V11 of England. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation (which led to the poll tax that we still have today). Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to develop, often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling, including the English name Field.

In this second book, the sequel to A Travel in Time to Grand Pré, twin souls, Madeleine and Michel, find themselves transported from 1755 to 2005, back to the Grand Pré of the twenty first century. Married in 1755, they bring valuable writings and artifacts with them to be used for the enlightenment of humanity. With many distinct threads skillfully woven together to create a rich tapestry, as well as meticulously researched historical events that frame the novel, the design of this marvelous work reaches its completion in several key messages from Yeshua, thereby outlining his true Gnostic teachings.
