I believe my own recent personal experience might help. I would also like very much to warn people about Warfield Moose and these 'Healing Ceremonies.' I certainly wish I had had more information before I paid out £160 and attended what seemed to me to be nothing more than a very amateur magic show.
He is a terrible ambassador for Native American people; spirituality; traditions and so on.
When a friend told me that Warfield Moose was going to hold ceremonies in the U.K. during May 2013 and that she was able to book places through the friend who was organising it all, I thought it all sounded amazing. I was made to understand that invitations to these ceremonies are exclusive and are only given out through word of mouth via friends. Nothing can be put in writing because the ceremonies are too 'sacred' for that. It was also made clear that NO REFUNDS WOULD BE GIVEN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! That should have sounded a warning bell. But, no, when you believe you are dealing with trusted friends, you don't want to appear too suspicious or awkward.
The cost of £160 was for the event which we were told would run from 3 p.m. until midnight. It was also to include a huge 'ceremonial feast' and, of course, Warfield's travel expenses from the U.S.A. would need to be covered. To give you an idea of how expensive this was - a shop assistant in the U.K. typically earns £6.50 per hour before tax.
However, the organiser seemed to have a good reputation as a spirit medium and we were told she had attended four of these ceremonies in the U.S. She said they saw spirit people materialise before their eyes.
We paid for our places around January 2013. Two weeks before the event, we received an long email detailing various preparations we must make or we would not be allowed into the ceremony. This involved more cost. We were also told that the 'ceremonial feast' would be organised by those of us attending and we must cook and bring food for up to six people. When you have already paid £160 each and know there will be no refund, you really have no choice but to comply.
We arrived at the small village hall promptly at 3 p.m. but were told to wait in the car park while the room was prepared. Over two hours later we were called into the hall for a talk from the organiser. There was no apology or explanation. She wanted to explain what would happen during the ceremony. We would have to sit on a blanket on the floor. WE WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BRING A DRINK OF WATER INTO THE ROOM. In fact, NOTHING would be allowed in the room - only the clothes we were wearing! No one would be allowed to leave. Doors would be locked.
I observed at this point that the fire exit was taped up. There were two or three very thick sheets of black polythene taped over every window and door. All the light fitments on the ceiling had been removed. I have attended many spiritual events in the U.K. over the years but have never witnessed anything like this before. It worried me.
It was another two hours before Warfield arrived. Still there was no apology or explanation. We begged the organiser to allow us to eat as we were all very hungry now. Warfield said 'No' - we were not allowed to eat until after his ceremony! Food had been standing in the kitchen for four hours now - some was even baking in the oven!
Warfield talked to us. I was so hungry, thirsty and tired by now that I couldn't really concentrate on what he was saying. But I DO remember he said we must respect the Earth's resources - and not waste anything. WE MUST NOT EAT TO EXCESS! I remember this bit because the man himself is very, very large and I guess he needed three airplane seats on the flight from the U.S.A.
We were given herbs and asked to apply them to areas of our bodies where we had aches and pains. Warfield and his men observed us carefully while we did this! Later, in the dark, many of us would be 'touched by spirit' in these places.
When the lights went off, it was totally black and I actually found it quite frightening!
There were around thirty of us and we were all asked to take it in turns to pray out loud. As you can imagine, there were many prayers for World peace, healing for the Earth and so on.
Then the noise began. Rattles and whistles. It was so noisy you could have led a team of boy scouts through the hall and we probably would not have noticed!
Someone fell over my ankle in the dark. (Thermal vision goggles failed him?) It hurt. The 'lightening' looked just like 'Flash Paper' used by magicians - and you could make out a person's body when he turned in various directions. Surely you should be able to see through a spirit person?
The same with the glowing rattles. Every time they went across the other side of the room you realised a body was now between you and them - and you couldn't see them.
Luminous balls circled our heads. I have seen identical things at shows where Chinese jugglers do amazing things!
At the end we were all whacked around each side of our head with something quite hard. That hurt too! One lady cried out in pain as they had accidentally hit her in her eye. Warfield said she had a particularly nasty Demon there which refused to leave and they had to hit it extra hard!!
In my opinion I saw nothing of genuine spiritual activity.
Warfield himself had a bottle of water with him! (Having made sure we would go thirsty and hungry!) His voice came from various directions in the dark, so we knew he was no longer tied up. Afterwards, I noticed our precious prayer ties were dumped unceremoniously in a sad heap where no doubt they had been thrown by human hands in the darkness.
We were on the floor in the blackness for FIVE HOURS! It was now 2 a.m.! Never mind 'healing' - we now had even more aches and pains!
Warfield announced that we were now allowed to eat. Much of the food was now just charcoal in burnt out pans!!
Amazingly, I have to report that some people (mainly the younger ones!) had actually enjoyed the event!
A small group of us (perhaps because we looked thoroughly miserable!) were warned by Warfield not to say anything about what we had seen to anyone FOR FOUR DAYS - OR NONE OF OUR PRAYERS WOULD BE ANSWERED! (I assume he was on the plane back to the States in four day's time!!)
I hope this helps people really investigate what Warfield Moose and his men are REALLY doing. If I were ever invited again, I would be tempted to take a large torch and some newspaper reporters!
