My second day in Germany was a family day, where we Garvis got to unite and be together. I have never seen my father, nor anybody for that matter, so plagued to the core of his soul, but this one day together will be one of the most precious in my mind. Dad, I love you! You are irreplaceable in my heart and I will not leave you to battle these demons on your own.
My father suggested we go bowling together, and so we did. We had so much fun!
Dad came last and I second last, but winning games has never mattered to us. It’s all about being together and loving one another for whom we are.
During our intense journey, we have been given a number of items that Joy Ayo Tang has put on my father. I post them on the web, wondering if anyone of you know their meaning. The first item collected was a leather cuff that had been put around my father’s wrist. It was made out of one full piece, like a belt, which had been cut in the middle and twisted on one side, without breaking it open. “Unity” and “totality” seem to be reoccuring themes on this journey.
The second item in the exhibition is a green and blue amulet that Joy Ayo Tang hung around my father’s neck two nights ago. On the first picture in this post, he was wearing the amulet and was tormented by internal pain. Before we went bowling, he took it off and the pain became physical instead. The amulet was meant for “protection”.
The third item in the exhibition is a green amulet on an unbroken leather chain. At the transmediale.10 conference in Berlin, it became obvious that the amulet which then hung around my sister’s neck is an object of high significance to those who recognize it.
The medallion itself seems to be of glass or molded plastic with hardened green fluids inside. When held against the light in different angles, different images are displayed:
The Goddess
Rider & the Horse
Rider & the Beast
I have no idea what happened in Taiwan, but my father is tormented and we will not rest until he finds peace.
I have still not met Joy.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackThe way your Dad is tormented really says something. If all of this was supposed to be, would he feel that way, or is it because you and your siblings have such concerns? I understand that cultures are all unique, but it seems that he is doing things that he would not have done pre Joy. Speaking of Joy, why has he not introduced you to her yet? If he reads your blog,he has to know how you and your followers feel. I hope this all turns out in a way that is good for all of you.
To leave home and fly to Germany was a very big deal.
I too wonder about the cause of your father’s pain. Joy’s FB photos and a google search show a history of extensive global community organizing and a “eco-tourist” enterprise. Is this work authentic? If so, is your father seeking a new partner with which to share his passion for global change? If so, why is his beloved family not included enthusiastically in his entry into a new life journey? Joy lists a link to your blog on FB with the words “the amazing Garvi family.” It would seem she would be delighted to meet you.
Is there guilt over this new relationship so soon after the passing of your beloved mother? Is the woman herself requiring your father to draw away from his family. If this is true, is there a need to be the sole focus of the beloved’s attention. Would this not be pathological and a potential danger. I have had five step-mothers with different degrees of intimacy. Never was I not invited to the wedding or given any cause to feel that I was less than welcome to meet my father’s various partners.
I just find the whole thing very worrying from your point of view, plus your dad really looks tormented. I will continue to pray for a satisfactory resolution for your family.
It really sounds as though he has been drawn into an occult religion and that he is under spiritual attack. I continue to pray for his release from this bondage.
I’m sure he has been lonely since your mom passed away and so he was drawn to this intense woman who has given him so much attention.
Esther, what is going on? It appears your father is tormented by this woman’s ways. But not in a good way. More like a hex. The gifts appear to be beautiful, but don’t bode well. It’s almost like true joy has been taken away from your Dad, sucked dry. If your family is as close as appears, this separation of mind is bad. I can certainly understand your Dad’s need for a spiritual companion, yet he may have been lead astray. I pray you can all talk this out. Blessings to. And Hugs for all.
Esther;) I only see spiritual torture on your father’s face and pray that he will soon be relased from this occult. I’m with all the above who have noticed his joy has been drained from him. The amulets and leather arm cuffs are part of something sinister if it pains him internally or physically. Stay strong and don’t let up. Just allow God’s love to flow through you and over your dad. You and your siblings have shown true love and concern for your father by flying out from Africa immediately you sensed he was in trouble. I pray for you all and that your dad will return to his closeness with his family. Bless you my dearest friend. (((Hugs))) Jo
Hmmm…intersting collection. I’ve been interested in/involved with a few ‘new agey’ groups and those amulets just look like cheap jewellery to me, without any symbols I’d recognise as being new age/pagan/occult. Although obviously that might also be because I’m more of a crystal waving tree hugger natural cycles observer with a horror of anything approaching organised spritual observance. But the power of a physical item comes not from what it *is* per se, but what it represents to people - and by the look of it they are not representing good things or a happy spirit to your father. It’s sad to see him looking so frayed. I’m thinking of you.
Just know that there are people all over praying for you and your Dad. Keep encircling your father with love, it looks like he really needs it.
We appreciate your sharing this with us -
Please know all of you are circled with support from all around the world -
They may not know your pain but they feel it for you -
Try and convince him to take things slowly and not rush into anything. My thoughts are with you and your family. Be strong.

I feel such sadness seeing your father look so tormented. I pray for you all each day, but I’ll had an extra one. It sure seems like something is not right.
Your father looks weary. He might be under the spell of a mild case of cultural shock. But the main evil-doer here is plain jet-lag. Flying to and back from Taiwan within ten days must have taken its toll. Depending on how long he’s been flying, and flying westward from Taipei to Berlin, he must have a lot of jet-lag under his belt. Compound it with cultural shock, no wonder the man feels bushed and slightly out of kilter.
Those charms are utterly innocuous. They won’t harm your family. Ms. Tang spirituality is hers only to shoulder. From her Japanese first name Ayo I assume Ms. Tang to be native Taiwanese – which differs from Chinese. Her grand-parents must have been brought-up Japanese. Then the US-backed Chinese government in exile on Taiwan blanketed her parents’ psyche with xenophobic and primarily Japan-hating Chinese education.
Now, from the early 1990s on, political changes allowed the old generation to talk more openly about the sad history and rich cultural legacy of their island. The young Taiwanese discovered they could have been born Japanese, and there’s been a Japan-love-fest on Taiwan ever since.
Taiwanese, and especially young women, crave the protection of these talismans as much as they yearn for all things Japanese. In Japan, charms are much sought after. Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines have stacks of them on offer. Read Lafcadio Hearn, and you’ll soon found out that warding off evil spirits is a Japanese thing.
I would urge you to be inclusive of Ayo. Bring her home and put her on a saddle. It’ll all turn out fine for you all.
Hey Esther,
I only recognize the second item: a double dorje. It’s Hindu, and loosely, a dorje is a lightning bolt direct from god. Receiving it, you are either enlightened. Or killed. You can read more about it on this wiki link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorje
The other items? Oftentimes with earth religions power items are mundane objects inbued with special meaning…but are themselves just things. No personal meaning for you, no juju.
I’m so sorry you and your family are going through this difficult time. I think, maybe, your dad misses your mom more than he’s let on, and I apologize profoundly if I’m out of line here.
If you and your father don’t object, everyone might feel better after smudging off with sage, if you have any. Here’s another wiki link about the practice of using sage as a cleanser:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_sage
And, if it’s comfortable for you, a sauna is also very cleansing, very restoring. And very benign.
Best of luck to you, woman. If I can help or answer any questions, please ask.

Esther, maybe its just me but i have a very bad feeling about this. Just the look in your father’s eyes gives me a bad feeling and then the amulets, very bad feeling. I’m no expert, but i have studied the old and new testament and knowing what i do know, this all gives me a bad feeling.
If it were me instead of your father becoming involved with this person, i’d have to recognize sooner or later that i was in WAY over my head. cisco is not the eden foundation. further, i can’t really UNDERSTAND all the transmediale documents, etc. what ARE they talking about? what does it mean? (and i am not totally dense. i edit PHD dissertations for a living.) i did search through FB to find the entries mentioned in the comments above, and i enjoyed the reaction of the african children to their tai chi lesson from joy. their wonderful joie de vivre and humor just kept bubbling up. she seems rather humorless, but that was just one moment in her day. laughter is good. so is bowling. maybe your father has fallen in love with this woman. clearly she is a personnage. he is so good and so handsome and a personnage in his own right, why wouldn’t she love him, too? are they actually planning to marry? and does she actually not want you and your siblings there? how very strange. i hope he comes to his senses. but maybe he won’t. but we are all connected, all of us, to everything. we can inundate him and her and the whole situation with light and love. all will be well, and all will be well, and all will be well…..
Esther, maybe u dont believe me, but your father suffers the attack from many bads spirits. They did not know when started that with this woman. many women know the secret of the demons and i advice u and your family taht to pray….read the Bible and if go to a place with water, clear water…a river and there, u put everything that he has…necklace, everything…THe men that use it these things will be close to the woman…she gave to him cause she knows about BLACK MAGIC..
Esther, take out everything and if your father decides to go out from her, he will go…
But the nature can help him…I can say that cause I visited many african countries and learned about that and saw it many bad things happens in Tanzania…But my husband taht is swedish did not believe…
But, advice u, dearest, try it take out your father from that woman…and it will be katastrof cause for now, only YOUR father suffers…but, if Joy will live close to all family..I do not know what can happens…
Lycka till…
I can send it you more information by email…
I’m sorry you and your family are going through these difficult times. I hope your father is able to find his way. You have done the right thing to let him know you love him no matter what happens.
[...] Eventually, my dad asked if we wanted to see where he had taken off into the mountains during his first visit to Kulo’s place - the time when he, according to Joy, had been given the bracelet and amulet which have been shown in a previous post. [...]
