A Brief History of Arina

July 2001 - Deep Creek Lake: Windra, overlighting Deva of Arina

In the ancient days before time as we know it, darkness crept into the civilization of Atlantis. Seeking to counter its destructive effects, the last king in the dynasty of Atlas Kings, a high soul of immense spiritual force, sought the help of Arin, a mysterious sage who had lived undying in the earth for a million years. Free from political entanglements, this mysterious white wizard, an incarnation of Wisdom itself, was asked by the King of Atlantis to create a great kingdom away from the mainstream to serve the Light, rebalance the earth, and train people of all ages in a new thought. So it was that 300,000 years ago, Atlas placed into Arin's hands the blue sapphire Jewel of Ornetha to create the kingdom of Arina and its defense.

Across the ocean from Atlantis lay the undivided continent, a wild country of swift rivers, steep mountain gorges, dense primal forests, and vast unexplored territories. It was a paradise of utamed beauty where great beasts roamed freely and humanity remained distant. There deep in the wilderness, Arin claimed a 80-mile circle and created an invincible shield of protection. Within the walls of this dimensional light, using the power of the crystal and the abundant resources of Nature, Arin constructed his country.

From Arin

They came from every part of the world to live in Arina. Their first entrance was through the great gate at Anawakia. This was the east gate and known commonly as Arin's Pass. Through this portal, came the great and small people of that day seeking the magic of Arina. Few, though, made it into the center of that province, for so structured was the whole of Androvinka that only as the asking party achieved spiritual advancement could he or she enter other areas."
This was a place of learning, strict in faith, great in love, ruled by truth. We were among the first to bring the combination of Light and Love into the Earth. Built 300,000 years ago by the White Fathers, the whole of Androvinka was a place enclosed by The Great Wall, the Impassable Light.

I asked Arin how the Light deterred anyone, man or beast, from passing. Arin said that "because the outlying lands were covered with primeval forest, the Light simply turned them outwards until they finally followed the circle and arrived at either the North or South gate. Then they were transported quickly back to the East gate and the city of Anawakia.
