FRENCH MAID VALIFORA: The Sixth Spirit is Valefor or Valifora.

She is a Mighty Duchess and appears

at first in the shape of a Chinese Lion-Dog to be bellowing whereby she will then at the request of the
Magician manifest as a ravishingly beautiful young Girl or Woman dressed as a French Maid. She is an
exceedingly good familiar of a lovingly faithful servant to obediently do whatever is commanded of her.
However she has the tendency to move objects from place to place to also generate apports of valuable
items, which to give many the impression she be a thief but really that of her mischievous poltergeist
nature, which will come to the fore when she has not been given any due attention; wherefore she will
induce vivid visions and Erotic Dreams so that to drive her Master to dominate her for she very much
enjoys being tied up and bound in order to be carnally punished, which will be due in part to her playful
pranks.
When Valifora is pleased with her Master he will often see her removing her briefs so as to gift to him,
which at times to appear momentarily as apports to then disperse into puddles of water. Her seal is to be
worn, whether you will have her for a familiar or not. She governs Ten Legions of Female Spirits like
unto herself whom to appear as most obedient Maids to work about ones Circle so as to accomplish
those tasks set out for them.

The Collective Unconscious is a term used by Analytical Psychology, which was coined by the Swiss
Psychiatrist Carl Jung, although such an insight to have its ancient predecessor of the Aboriginal
Dreamtime and that of the Spirit world described by many a Shaman throughout Human history. It is a
part of the Unconscious Mind, expressed in Humanity and all life forms with Nervous Systems, and
describes how the structure of the Psyche autonomously organizes experience. Jung distinguished the
Collective Unconscious from the Personal Unconscious, in that the Personal Unconscious is a personal
reservoir of experience unique to each individual, while the Collective Unconscious collects and
organizes those personal experiences in a similar way with each member of a particular species.
Jung stated, in his book Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious (p. 43):
"My thesis then, is as follows: in addition to our immediate Consciousness, which is of a thoroughly
personal nature and which we believe to be the only empirical psyche (even if we tack on the personal
Unconscious as an appendix), there exists a second psychic system of a Collective, universal, and
impersonal nature which is identical in all individuals. This Collective Unconscious does not develop
individually but is inherited. It consists of pre-existent forms, the Archetypes, which can only become
Conscious secondarily and which give definite form to certain psychic contents."
Jung also made reference to contents of this category of the unconscious Psyche as being similar to
Levy-Brul's use of collective representations or "representations collectives," Mythological "motifs,"
Hubert and Mauss's "categories of the imagination," and Adolf Bastian's "primordial thoughts."
Jung's writing style has often been described as being dense and over technical, which might have
contributed to the definition of the Collective Unconscious being misconstrued as an inheritance of
accumulated experience from preceding generations. However, Jungs insight leads one to an
understanding that one has a Collective Unconscious Dream, where Dreamers share the same Dream,
which is made up of their Mental Projections. Although we share the same Dream, most are totally
unaware of this level of reality; the majority of Dreams are usually those of the Personal Unconscious,
which are none too dissimilar to ones thought processes being all tied up with ones Personal
Conscious, while being totally oblivious to ones everyday surroundings that one shares with others
who are equally unaware of their surroundings. It is only when one becomes Lucid within the Dream
that one can experience the Collective Dream for ones self, which first requires one to become far more
converted by Web2PDFConvert.com
aware of ones everyday surroundings.


The Mental projections of the Dream world one can associate with the Archetypes whose qualities are
sustained by the collective focus of many Minds whereby one could consider them to be sentient at the
Informational level of the Dream, which in turn influences those Minds focussing upon them of a feed-
back-loop. The Archetypes are, according to Carl Jung, innate universal psychic dispositions that form
the substrate from which the basic themes of human life emerge. Each stage is mediated through a new
set of Archetypal imperatives which seek fulfilment in action. These may include at the base level that of
being Parented, Initiation, Courtship, Marriage and preparation for Death etc, which to have their
respective Symbolic stimuli of Associative Correspondences.
The Archetypes form a dynamic substratum common to all Humanity, upon the foundation of which
each individual builds his or her own experience of life, developing a unique array of psychological
characteristics. Thus, while the Archetypes themselves may be conceived as being of a few relative
innate nebulous forms such as one to find in the Magickal Correspondences of example, from these
may arise innumerable images, Symbols and patterns of Associative behaviour; while the emerging
images and forms are apprehended consciously, the Archetypes which inform them are elementary
structures that are unconscious and impossible to apprehend. Being of the Unconscious realm of the
Microcosmic Dream, the existence of the Archetypes can only be deduced indirectly by examining
Macrocosmic behaviour, Images, Art, Myths, etc; unless one consciously accesses the Unconscious
realm of the Microcosmic Dream to thereby experience their reality via Lucid Dreaming. The Archetypes
are inherited potentials which are actualized when they enter Consciousness as images or manifest in
behaviour on interaction with the outside world. The Archetype is a crucial Jungian concept; its
significance to analytical Psychology has been likened to that of gravity for Newtonian Physics.
One could construe that the Spirits listed in the Goetia are Archetypes, which are in turn associated with
the Magickal Correspondences in relation to the Seven planetary Archetypal qualities; however, their
forms are nebulous of Medieval hue, unless one associates them with something more Shamanic of
inclined corresponding Symbolic stimuli, which one could thence make modern of conceptual
orientation; wherefore one has Valifor being associated with a French Maid, whose Archetypal planetary
association would be that of Venus.

THE WHITE RABBIT'S PERSONAL FRENCH-MAID
MUSE OF INCEPTION DREAMSCAPE EXTRACTION
Classical Goetia Description of Valifora: "The Sixth Spirit is Valefor. He is a mighty Duke, and appeareth
in the shape of a Lion with an Ass's Head, bellowing. (In other versions the Sixth Spirit is described to be
barking like a Dog.) He is a good Familiar, but tempteth them he is a familiar of to steal. He governeth 10
Legions of Spirits. His Seal is this, which is to be worn, whether thou wilt have him for a Familiar, or not."
Goetia - S. L. MacGregor Mathers (1904)
However it is Time to change things around Widdershin-Wise all in Reverse of Rebellion, for the Occult
Icons of the Past whom had Aristocratic silver spoons sticking out of their Church mouths with Shekels
shitting out of the arses merely toed the Patriarchal Jacobs Ladder of Heirarchal Freemasonry within
their richly adorned Solomonic Ritual Magick Cloisters. One has to remember that during 1904 and prior
of Medieval Age many of the populace could not afford books let alone read; hence, only the Middle to
Upper classes were privy to reading material whom later steered the mass towards looking at the world
in a certain way who were themselves kissing the arse of Rome. Whereby a certain perspective of an
Archetypal Mythic paradigm is a continuance of an ongoing Brainwash, which has engineered ones
underlying Collective Unconscios perception of reality for over 2000yrs.
One can imaginatively associate Valifora with the White Rabbits Housemaid Mary-Ann whom is featured
in Lewis Carrolls 'Alices Adventures in Wonderland'. Within the explanatory notes found inside Alices
Adventures in Wonderland (Oxford Worlds Classics edition) one will find Mary Ann is "almost as
common an equivalent for 'Servant-Girl' in the Nineteenth century as Abigail had been in the
Eighteenth." One also finds the same interpretation of the name in Gardners Definitive Edition of the

Annotated Alice.' During the Eighteenth to Ninteteenth centuries and prior of age many an impovershed
working class Girl sought to become a Housemaid, for otherwise they would invariably end up as a
Prostitute if unmarried. The Servant Girl was the Work-Horse of many an affluent Eighteenth to
Nineteenth century household, whereupon one has the association with the Donkey. The Donkey is the
beast of burden in many differing cultures, whereupon one has the common slang term of, "working like
a Donkey," which was the case in regards to the work that the Housemaid had to often do around the
house, whom was essentially an underpaid servant in the Eighteenth to Nineteenth century affluent
Middle to Upper class household. As for the Donkey it was domesticated around the same time as the
Horse; however, Donkey's have a notorious reputation for stubbornness, but this has been attributed to
a much stronger sense of "self preservation" than exhibited by Horses. This is probably based on a
stronger prey instinct and a more independent attitude towards humans, it is considerably more difficult
to force or frighten a Donkey into doing something it perceives to be dangerous, hence inane of action,
for whatever reason, whereby Donkey's are not stupid, whence the abusive term of, "Stupid as an Ass,"
or "Stubborn as a Mule" is somewhat inapplicable.
Although formal studies of Donkey behaviour and cognition are rather limited, Donkeys appear to be
quite intelligent, cautious, friendly, playful, and eager to learn. They are often pastured or stabled with
Horses and Ponies, and are thought to have a calming effect on nervous Horses. If a Donkey is
introduced to a Mare and Foal, the Foal will often turn to the Donkey for support after it has been
weaned from its mother. Once a person has earned their confidence they can be willing and
companionable partners and very dependable in hard work. For this reason, they are now commonly
kept as pets in countries where their use as beasts of burden has disappeared, while Servant-Girls have
become as French-Maids whom are growing in popularity for varying reasons to be otherwise kept as
pets rather than that of a workhorse of a Donkey; wherefore one has the classical description in the
Goetia of the Donkey being associated with the Sixth Spirit.

The French Maid refers to a strongly modified style of Servants dress, which had evolved from the
typical workhorse (Donkey) Maids black and white afternoon uniforms of the Nineteenth century (and
their later use by stereotypical characters in risqu burlesque dramas of the bedroom farce variety). The
designs of the French Maid dress can range widely from a conservative look to very revealing. It is now
often associated with Cosplay, Sexual Roleplaying, and Fetishism. Depending on design details, some
forms can be classified as lingerie. One will also find that the motif of the French Maid is quite popular in
Japanese Manga, Anime and most especially that of Hentai, which is also merged with that of the
Superheroine influence one to find in American comics whereby one has various French Maids having
psychic abilities or weilding magical weapons etc; such a merger can be easily applicable to that of a
Succubus. The French Maid costume has become in essence that of an easily recognisable Archetypal
Symbol, which has nigh instantaneous Associations to stir within ones Subconscious Mind.

Lewis Carrolls friend, Mrs. Cameron, had a Housemaid named Mary Anne, this leads one to a reference
of a Mary Anne whom is a Servant Girl, in Charles Dickens story of David Copperfield, which
emphasizes this generalized idea of Mary Anne/Ann being commonly associated with a Serving Girl.
Slang dictionaries of the time called a dress stand a Mary Ann as well, while in Cockney slang Mary Ann
was equated with the Vagina, Fan and Hand (Female Masturbation) as well as with an effeminate male.

Mary Anne/Ann was also the nickname for the Guillotine during the French Revolution, which was
personified as being a Feminine instrument for it was often referred to as Madame Guilotine, which in
turn had sexual connotations for the device of execution was associated with the Vagina Dentate
whereupon one finds many a beheading within Carrolls Wonderland being instigated by the (Madame
Guillotine) Queen of Hearts whom no doubt roars as a Queen Victoria Lioness. There is a common
misconception that it is the male Lion whom rules over the pride, when in fact it is the Lioness, whom
are considered to be far more fierce than a male Lion by those peoples who live close to prides of Lions.
Many ancient peoples, especially those of Africa whom live close to Lions consider their Warriors as
being the sons of the Lioness from whom they derive their martial power, which gives one an insight
into the classical Goetia description of the prior manifestation of this Spirit whom manifests in the form
of a Lion with a Donkey's head, to be either bellowing or barking as a Dog before assuming human form.
What one has here is that of a Symbolic equation describing the qualities of the Spirit.

The Patriarchal fixation of the classical Medieval Goetia describes Valefor as being somewhat of a Thief
whom could tempt one into thievery, which long ago at the level temporal, could have led to one being
executed for such a crime if one was caught; however, the description is somewhat biased towards a
certain social class. Thievery was rife during the Middle Ages up until the Victorian age due to the fact
that the majority of people were poor to nigh destitute; whereby, many of whom were near the point of
starvation. During the Victorian era one could be sent to a life of servitude in the then colonies as a near
slave, merely for stealing a loaf of bread to feed ones children in the workhouse; hence, the description
in the classical Medieval Goetia of Valefor as being a Thief is biased towards those few who could read
whom were primarily of the financially affluent Middle to Upper Aristocratic classes. In other words,
Valefor's description is that of a social comment about the great unwashed poor whom Valefor
represents, which of course leads one to the Archetypal character of Robin Hood whom 'stole' from the
Rich to give to the Poor. One can also apply the same scenario in regards to 'Information,' for
Information is knowledge and knowledge is power; whereby leading one to perceive Prometheus
stealing the Secret of Fire from the Gods in order to give to poor Humanity.
Valefor was also seen to be a Butler of familiar Spirit by some Occult practitioners, whence the Female
manifestation of said Spirit as Valifora would be that of a Housemaid/French-Maid-Servant-Girl. As for
thievery in the main it had far more to do with the Spirit manifesting Poltergeist activity whereupon
objects would disappear or reappear from one place to another, which one to often find manifesting of
perceived Paranormal phenomena at Sances. This is not as unbelievable as it sounds if one utilises a
'Dimensional Analogy,' which was used by Edwin Abbott in the book Flatland. Abbot's book narrates a
story about a square that lives in a two-dimensional world, like the surface of a piece of paper. From the
perspective of this square, a Three-Dimensional being has seemingly God-like powers, such as being
able to remove objects from a safe without breaking it open (by moving them across the Third
Dimension), being able to see everything that from the Two-Dimensional perspective is enclosed behind
walls, and remaining completely invisible by standing a few inches away in the Third Dimension,
whereby one can perhaps gauge an insight into those other Dimensions from which Spirits and
Poltergeist phenomenon emanate from.
A Housemaid is far more likely to overhear and to discover Secrets while she cleans and dusts up many
a house, hence any thievery on her part is overlooked until it becomes glaringly obvious, whereby if she
is clever her misdemeanours will never be found out. But one is speaking of a Spirit here whom
emanates from another Dimension, not that of a physical Three-Dimensional being, whereupon such
thievery alludes to a Psychic ability where an individual is able to consciously access the Dreams of
another person like that of entering their house to sweep clean in order to steal their innermost Secrets,
which Valifora is associated with of Shamanic technique. The ability of accessing other peoples Dreams
is a step further on from Remote-Viewing of Shamanic practice, which is primarily utilised for healing
purposes; this Psychic ability was in part covered in a 1984 Science Fiction film called Dreamscape
directed by Joseph Ruben and written by David Loughery, with Chuck Russell and Ruben co-writing.

According to author Roger Zelazny, the film developed from an initial outline that he wrote in 1981,
based in part upon his novella "He Who Shapes" and the novel "The Dream Master." The film concerns
a character called Alex Gardner, played by Dennis Quaid who is a 19-year-old prime subject of a
scientific research project documenting his Psychic ability, but in the midst of the study he disappears
and has since been using his talents solely for personal gain, which mainly consists of gambling and
womanizing. After running afoul of a local gangster/extortionist named Sneed (Gleeson), Gardner
evades two of Sneed's thugs by allowing him self to be taken by two men, Finch and Babcock (Jason
and Mulkey) who identify themselves as being from an Academic Institution. At the Institution, Alex is
reunited with his former Shamanic mentor Dr. Paul Novotny (von Sydow) who is now involved in a
Government-funded Psychic research. Novotny, aided by fellow scientist Jane DeVries (Capshaw) has
developed a technique which allows Psychics to voluntarily link with the Minds of others by projecting
themselves into the Subconscious of another individual during REM sleep (i.e., while they are
Dreaming); whereby one could perceive Alex as being somewhat akin to Alices White Rabbit who
knows how to burrow into the Wonderland Dreams of others, which leads one to the White Rabbit's
Housemaid by association.
Alex is blackmailed into joining Novotnys project that he (Novotny) intended to use for a benevolent
purpose as a clinic to diagnose and treat sleep disorders of Shamanic orientation, particularly in the
form of Nightmares, but the project has been hijacked by Bob Blair (Plummer), a powerful government
agent with possible CIA ties, though it is never clearly revealed in the film. Alex eventually discovers that
hes actually involved in a U.S. government-funded project to use this Dream-linking technique for
Assassination, which involves inducing a Nightmare within another individuals Dream whose content is
so terrifying that it literally frightens the person to death or worse.
Alex is caught while invading the Dreams of a woman called Jane. This is used as a subplot, which
involves Alex and Janes growing infatuation, culminating with him sneaking into Jane's Dreams without
the use of the machines; (the use of Mind machines are a part of the process in the film) a point Jane
does not realize at first because she is too furious about the Erotic elements of her Dreams, which Alex
had instigated without her knowing about it whereby enabling him to have Sex with her within her own
Dreams. Such an ability Valifora can bestow upon her Master; however, should one perceive Alex as
being somewhat akin to the White Rabbit burrowing into the Minds of others via Quantum Tunnelling
into their Dreams like that of a Shaman, one could see Jane as the White Rabbit's Housemaid, whom
becomes his familiar. If one takes this further of Shamanic perspective, Jane is Valifora, whom
empowers Alex's Shamanic ability
Before the plot is revealed, Alex gains further Dreamscaping experience by helping a man who is
worried about his wifes infidelity as well as taking over the case of a young boy named Buddy (Yothers)
whos plagued with Nightmares so terrible that a previous Psychic had completely lost his mind in an
attempt to help Buddy. Buddy's Nightmare bogeyman involves a large Snake-Man which later becomes
Alexs Nightmare as well. With the help of a novelist named Charlie Prince (Wendt), who has been
covertly investigating the project for the basis of a new book, Alex learns of Blairs sinister intentions.
Prince and Novotny are both murdered to silence them; things get worse when the President of the
United States (Albert) is admitted as a patient; Alex is unaware that his colleague Tommy Ray Glatman is
being sent into the President's Nightmare in an attempt to have him Assassinated. Blair considers the
President as being a threat to National Security due to the President's constant Nightmares of a Post-
Apocalyptic Mad-Max world, which are influencing his decisions to enter into negotiations for Nuclear
Disarmament, which Blair considers to be unfavourable.
Alex (White Rabbit) and Jane (Housemaid) manage to get close enough to the Presidents room in order
to access the Dream of the President so that they can stop Glatmans planned Assassination, although a
Shamanic practioner whom is versed in the technique can do likewise at a great distance. Glatman is
killed in the process when he is confronted by his own Nightmare, which terrifies him to death. The
President is grateful to Alex and Jane but he is reluctant to confront Blair, who apparently holds a
powerful position in the government. Alex is left with no choice; in order to protect him self and Jane,
Alex enters Blairs Dream and murders him before Blair can bring about any sort of retribution, which is
in essence that of the perfect murder unless of course one has Psychic Detectives around. The film
ends with Jane and Alex boarding a train to Louisville, Kentucky (home of Churchill Downs), intent on
making a previous Dream encounter of theirs a reality; however they both notice the same Ticket
Conductor from the Dream, which gives them a moment of pause as well as the audience to think that it
was all just a Dream, which leads one to the ancient Hindu insight that all is as Maya.
A similar motif to that of Dreamsacpe where an individual can access other peoples Dreams was used
for the Surrealist masterpiece of a film entitled The Cell, which came out during 2000; the film was
directed by the artistic visionary Tarsem Singh. The principle character of the Cell is a Child
Psychologist of a female Shaman called Catherine Deane played by Jennifer Lopez whom one can
model Valifora upon; Deane is an expert in an experimental treatment for coma patients whom utilises a
virtual reality device, which allows her to enter into the Minds of her patients to clear up in order to coax
them back into consciousness. When serial killer Carl Rudolph Stargher (Vincent D'Onofrio) falls into a
coma before the FBI can locate his final victim, Agent Novak (Vince Vaughn) persuades Deane to enter
Stargher's Mind so that they can discover the victim's Secret location. One can likewise Evoke Valifora
converted by Web2PDFConvert.com
for similar services to be rendered unto ones self as her Master.
Both the Dreamscape and The Cell of films use Shamanic elements to flesh out their fictional themes;
however the underlying subject matter being covered is very real of ancient Shamanic practice. One will
find a reccurring motif in most of these films, which utilise a hard technology in order to access the
Dream of others. However, the Shaman has no need of any highly technological device in order to enter
the Dreams of other people apart from that of the Drum, which is usually associated with a Horse
(Donkey) whose beat facilitates the necessary Trance state required so that the Shaman can access the
Dream realm of another individual. The Shaman can also access the Dreams of another person via
Lucid Dreaming; however both techniques are very risky; this is especially the case when another
person is suffering from an illness, which the Shaman is attempting to heal on behalf of the patient
concerned; should the Shaman be careless, the illness will also afflict the Shaman if he is not strong
enough to overcome it. This can be avoided if the Shaman has powerful Spirit familiars such as a 'Lion'
for example, which empowers him. The illness will assume a symbolic guise within the Dream realm of
the patient, which can manifest in varied forms, whereby the Shaman will be confronted by the terrors of
his patient to combat on behalf of the individual seeking to be healed of their malady. The physical
manifestation of the illness has its root within an imbalance of energy, which is in essence that of
information; it is this information that the Shaman can access when to Dreamscape him self into the
Dream Cell of another individual. The Shaman can either negate the deeply held memories of a trauma
from affecting his patient at a physical level via the Dream or that of implanting an idea into the other
persons Dream in order to transform the patients perception of their reality to thereby heal acute
depression for example. Of course, the technique can also be utilised for other purposes apart from that
of healing such as accessing Secrets in order to acquire.
Another film concerning its self with the Shamanic ability of Dreamscaping is Inception, which is a 2010
American Science Fiction action film written, produced, and directed by Christopher Nolan and starring
Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, and Cillian
Murphy. The film, essentially a caper movie, centres on Dom Cobb, an "Extractor", who enters the
Dreams of others to obtain information that is otherwise inaccessible. His Shamanic abilities have cost
him his family and his nationality, but a chance at redemption and regaining his old life is promised
when Cobb and his team of specialists are hired to plant an idea within a target's Subconscious. This
process of planting of an idea, known as "Inception", is less familiar and far more difficult than Cobb's
usual job of "Extraction".
Dominic "Dom" Cobb leads a group of "Extractors", including Nash (Lukas Haas) and Arthur (Joseph
Gordon-Levitt). Extractors are professional Thieves, who hack into other peoples Minds via their Dreams
in order to steal information. Dreamers sleep in close proximity, connected by a device that administers
a sedative and thereby sharing a Dream world built on their mental projections. Pain is felt, but death
results in consciousness. Cobb carries a spinning top of a 'Symbolic-Trigger' to test whether he is
Dreaming or awake, which spins ceaselessly or topples respectively.
When one engineers a Lucid Dream one will find that prior to attaining Lucidity one will notice Trigger-
Symbols, which one had previously focused upon before sleeping. The Trigger-Symbols can be
consciously chosen before hand such as that of a Silgil representing a Spirit, which is associated with
an Archetype, such as that of a French-Maid for example to focus upon in meditation. The Symbol will
thence be implanted into ones Subconscious, whereupon when one Dreams, should one recognise the
Symbol, one will remember and thence awaken within the Dream, wherefore one attains Lucidity. When
one has attained a Lucid Dream one can then Evoke the chosen Spirit to manifest for real. One can
perceive ones Lucid Dreams as being Holograms, which can be very real of content, to such an extent
that one may not be able to tell whether one is Dreaming or not, and in some cases such Dreams are far
more real than what one experiences of ones present reality, whence one can feel pain and should one
experience a death in said Hologram Dreams one will find ones self awakening into another Dream, to
even pass from one to yet another of interconnected sequence, whereupon one then wonders whether
ones so called real world is just a Hologram Dream as well.
The Dreaming reality is considered by Shamans as being the world of the Spirits, which has many
layers; most people cannot access the deeper layers of the Dream; whereupon the ability of Lucid
Dreaming let alone that of Dreamscaping is not freely available to them whose Dreams are usually no
more than that of the peripheral level; whereby they are not able to break through their veil of a mental
miasma into the realm of the dead, which one can otherwise say is that of the Informational reality
underlying ones experiential physical world of a Hologram.
One will find within the Tibetan-Buddhist Vajravarahi Mandala, of Western quarter, which is perceived to
be the direction of the Dead or otherwise that of the Dream realm where the sun sets is standing the Red
Dog-Headed Dakini who is called Svanasya, which one can associate with the classical description
found in the Goetia where one has Valifora barking as a Dog; the Dog-Headed Dakini Svanasya can in
turn be equated with the Chinese Lion-Dog. There are many Shamanic inclined myths, which perceive
Dogs as being Guardians, Guides and Psychopomps into the realm of the dead. It is believed that the
Chow Chow breed of Chinese Dogs is one of the native Dogs, which was used as the original model for
converted by Web2PDFConvert.com
the creation of Chinese guardian Lions in ancient China where no one had ever seen a real Lion before
at a time when stories reached China that Buddhist temples and monasteries in India were being
guarded by the traditional stone Lions found in front of Buddhist temples and palaces in India. Hearing
the stories carried there by Buddhist Monks travelling from India, the Chinese sculptors modelled
statues of Fu or Foo Lions, (the Lions of Buddha) upon their native Dogs and created a hybrid icon of an
animal never before seen in China whereupon becoming the Chinese guardian Lions; Chow Chow is a
breed of Dog, which was first developed in Mongolia about 4,000 years ago and was later introduced
into China, where it is referred to as Songshi Quan (Pinyin: Sngsh Qun), which literally means "Puffy-
Lion Dog."
Chinese guardian Lion-Dogs are a common representation of the Lion in pre-modern China, which is
believed to have powerful mythic protective powers that has traditionally stood in front of Chinese
Imperial palaces, temples, Emperors tombs, government offices, and the homes of government officials
and the wealthy from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD), until the end of the empire in 1911. Lions of Fo
are always created in pairs, with the male playing with a ball and the female with a cub. They occur in
many types of Chinese pottery and in Western imitations. Pairs of Chinese guardian lions, also called
Chinese stone Lions (Pinyin: Shsh) are still common decorative and symbolic elements at the
entrances to restaurants, hotels, supermarkets and other structures, with one sitting on each side of the
entrance, in China and in other places around the world where the Chinese people have immigrated and
settled, especially in local Chinatowns.
In Tibet, the guardian Lion is known as a Snow Lion and similar to Japanese Shishi. In Myanmar they are
called Chinthe and gave their name to the World War II Chindit soldiers. The Buddhist version of the Lion
was originally introduced to Han China as the protector of Dharma and these Lions have been found in
religious art as early as 208 BC. Gradually they were incorporated as guardians of the Chinese Imperial
Dharma. Lion-Dogs seemed appropriately regal beasts to guard the Emperors gates and have been
used as such since.
The mythic Fu Lion is sometimes associated with Feng Shui; Fu means 'Happiness' in Chinese;
however, the term "Fu Lion," and its variant 'Foo Lion', are not used in Chinese. Instead, they are known
as Rui Shi, ("auspicious Lions") or simply Shi ("Lions"). There are various styles of imperial guardian
Lions reflecting influences from different time periods, imperial dynasties, and regions of China. These
styles vary in their artistic detail and adornment as well as in the depiction of the Lions from fierce to
serene. One could perceive Valifora as being very much akin to the Dog-Headed Dakini Svanasya whom
is in turn associated with a Chinese Lion-Dog of a Succubus Servant Girl whom will work for one as
ones loving Slave of a Donkey; whereby bestowing the ability of Dreamscaping and thereby that of
Extraction and Inception upon her Master.
