"MAX", The Texas Crystal Skull
( Keeper: JoAnn Parks, Houston, TX, July, 1995 )
http://193.219.41.88/audre/maxcs.html
The largest ancient crystal skull at the present time is known as
"Max", the Texas Crystal Skull. I had my first opportunity to see "Max"
in February, 1988, when it was on display at the Whole Life Expo in Los
Angeles. Since that time, "Max" and his keeper, JoAnn Parks, have
traveled all over the Un-ted States, providing others an opportunity to
experience this ancient artifact.
Recently, Mrs. Parks and "Max" came to visit our home town of Chicago,
and was very well received. Mrs. Parks told me during our phone
conversation that she is receiving many invitations to bring "Max" to
various cities throughout the country. In addition, while she was
recently in Miami, doing a presentation at a local museum, some
professional technicians took a holographic image of "Max", which
should be available to the public at some future time. Mrs. Parks
is also working on a new book that will share more information about
the history of "Max", what type of experiences people have had in
the presence of "Max" and research that has been performed upon
this crystal skull. We strongly recommend to our readers, if you
have an opportunity to experience "Max", you don't want to miss out.
If a person wishes to contact Mrs. Parks, to find out the schedule
of events related to "MAX" and in which cities he will be available
to be seen and experienced, she can be contacted at:

One of the people who had an opportunity to spend time with "Max"
while he was in Chicago is Debbie Smoker. Debbie is a contributing
writer for New Avenues, a local New A-e journal published bi-monthly
for the Southern Wisconsin area. Debbie had an opportunity to
interview Mrs. Parks to discuss how she came in contact with "Max"
and what has happened to Mrs. Parks since that time. We have been
granted permission to re-print Debbie's article to share with our
readers.
Enjoy and discover the mysteries surrounding "Max" ...............
MAX, the Crystal Skull
By Debbie Smoker, R.Ht. (June/July 95 issue, New Avenues)
Believed to be between 5,000 and 36,000 years old, Max is known to
be one of the 13 ancient crystal skulls of the world. Interestingly,
they were all found in Central America and Mexico. Much research is
currently being done on the skulls. However, their origin is still a
baffling mystery. They seem to defy logic. Everything that is known
about lapidary work indicates that the skulls should have been
shattered fractured, or fallen apart when carved.
Many People have profound visions and p-ychic experiences when
viewing the skulls. Some believe that the skulls are intricate
computers, possibly brought before from other planets, and hold
knowledge about the origin of our r-ce and the planet Earth.
Max was given to JoAnn and Carl Parks by a Tibetan red hat lama
named Norbu Chen. I recently spoke with JoAnn about Max and I was
impressed with her integrity. It struck me immediately that she is
not out for personal attention or sensationalism. She is a kind
woman with a great sense of humor, who had the courage to do what
the Universe has asked of her. This is what she told me:
Debbie: How do you know Norbu Chen?
JoAnn: We met Norbu through our family medical doctor in 1973.
At the time, we really didn't know who he was or what be did
Norbu needed some work done on his home, so our doctor recommended
my husband who is in the custom furniture manufacturing business.
After working on his house for about two months, my husband picked
up a magazine and saw Norbus' picture in it with an article titled
Norbu Chen, Tibetan H-aler. We were amazed! I then asked my husband
to introduce me to Norbu because our daughter was dying of bone
c-ncer and the d-ctors had only given her three months to live. When
I met Norbu and touched his hand, I knew instinctively that there
was something extraordinary about this man. I learned that he had
been back in the Un-ted States for some time practicing his ancient
Tibetan he-ling methods. I asked all about his work. He told me that
he needed someone to answer phones and to tell his patients how to
prepare their bodies to the hea-ing energies that would go to the
acupuncture points and meridian points of the body. Without really
realizing what the next seven years had in store for me, I offered
to help him. Norbu did work with my daughter and she lived three
more years, far longer than the three months we had been told to
expect.
All I knew was that he was helping people and that's what
mattered.
Debbie: I think it was obvious that you were destined to meet.
JoAnn: Well I hadn't even been into meta-hysics, didn't work with
crystals, and never heard of crystal skulls. It was like walking out
of a closet into a whole new world. Norbu had an office in the same
building as our family doctor. He had to use a lot of strong mind
power and breath probe. He completely immerses into our being in
the he-ling proms. But be had to make a lot of loud noises. This
disturbed people in other offices, so Norbu built a room onto his
home and moved his office there.
I was totally unprepared for what I saw the first time I walked
in.
From floor to ceiling, the room was entirely red. Norbu now wore
red and bl-ck robes rather than conventional clothing, and I
wondered what I had gotten myself into He then showed my husband
and I his altar which held several ancient artifacts on it,
including a 400 year old trumpet and the crystal skull which were
gifted to him by the Guatemalan shamans in Central America. He
never did tell me much about the skull.
Norbu founded the Chakpori Ling Healing Foundation in Texas. I
witnessed many m-racles there and was eventually allowed to go
down and watch some of the healing ceremonies. I didn't realize
at the time that this was a very, great honor. I remember that
one of the Tibetan lamas was always fixing me Tibetan hamburgers,
and those were some spicy meatballs!
I never read anything about the crystal skull, but the monks talked
to it and chanted to it in Tibetan and claimed they communicated
with it.
They would tap into the energy of the skull and run it through the
meridian of the patients' body to assist their healings. So they
used it as their s-iritual and h- aling tool.
My husband and I were very close to Norbu and before he died,
Norbu told us nothing about the skull except that it was a rare and
special crystal and that only a few of them exist in the world today.
He said, "Take this, and one of these days you will know what it is
for and about."
Well we didn't know, but we brought it home and put it in a box
in the closet for seven years, from 1980 to 1987. During this time
it would come to me in dreams. It told me it was looking for a man
and I should find him. I couldn't believe it, but suddenly found
myself standing in the closet and talking to a rock. I finally said,
"Wait a minute! I don't want anything to do with you ." We argued
for seven years. He said, "You will be talking to hundreds of people
about me. I'm very important to mankind.
You've got to find this man for me. By the way, my name isn't
The Skull. My name is Max."
So here I am, standing in the closet talking to a rock and
telling him that I'd help find this man. (She laughs) So in June
of 1987, I was watching a local TV show about UFOs. And there
was a picture of the famous Mitchell-Hedges skull. Until then I
hadn't realized there were more skulls. So I called the TV station
and told them I had a skull. They were very skeptical but
eventually came out to see it. They were flabbergasted.
From there I went to the Houston Museum where I learned of
several other skulls, one in a museum in France, one in London
England, and some are in private collections. I learned that Max
is the only skull currently allowed to be researched and to go
to sacred ceremonies or be looked at and touched. He goes to
many, many ceremonies, including the
http://www.v-j-enterprises.com/activat.html
Activation Ceremony, Editor's Note: Special Ceremony that was
conducted with hea-er - Star Johnsen in the past, view this page
for more information) which is the aligment of his energy field
with various vortexes and grids around the U.S. He's in hea-ing
ceremonies.
He is also involved in Native Indian ceremonies. At Mary
Thunder's Ranch, Max goes to the Sweat Lodge, Medicine Wheel, and
Sacred Pipe Ceremonies. Mary is Cherokee and Souix.

I attended a lecture of JoAnn more that 13 years in the past. It was
rather strange in that after the lecture got started some people lined
up in front of Max for a what they thought would be a h-aling. They
were told that there would be no he-ling. This cause quite a commotion
among these people but they finally were convienced to sit down and the
lecture continued. I saw JoAnne later and she was sitting in the loby
of the building where she had lectured, with Max in a box or something
like a suitcase. I thought it was a little bit dangerous, just to be
sitting in this this area because someone may come along and knock
her unconscious and take Max for a ride.
.........................................................................
.........................................................................
Debbie: I didn't realize that Native American culture would relate to
something like that.
JoAnn: Absolutely. They know about the skulls. Grandma Tywiah Nitsch,
a well-known Seneca Indian, loves Max and has six Wolfsong Gatherings
going (gatherings of peace). Max was in Wolfsong Two. I have a
http://www.v-j-enterprises.com/wolfsong.html
video that was filmed down there, called Max, the Crystal Skull It
shows Max in ceremony, and shows many of the Mayan, Aztec and
Peruvian elders and Celtic and Aborigines from all over the world
talking about Max and what he means. They believe they will all come
back together again some day.
They don't p-ay to it. They just honor it, pay tribute to it. They
revere it as a communication device.
Debbie: So what do they think the skulls are, energies or connections
with Beings of other places?
JoAnn: Well, yes. There are many theories. Although used in Mayan
ceremonies, they are not believed to have been created by the Mayans.
Max has met with p-ychics and gurus, met-physcians, shamans, lawyers,
Indian Chiefs, paraps-chology researchers, and UFO investigators.
People come ftom all over the world. They come here thinking that
either he is extraterrestrial, brought here by visitors of a distant
star system and he's programmed like a computer.
He carries ancient knowledge from his past. Perhaps the rock has
picked up some sound and vibration and images occuring around it and
it has programmed it and it's in there. Various people sit there and
get visions and images off of it. Others believe it's an Atlantian
crystal - that it came from both places.
Debbie: Did anyone ever ask MAX directly, 'Where did you come from?"
JoAnn: He says he comes from both places. He comes from Pleiades and
from Atlantis. He is a gift to mankind. He's here as a teacher, and as
a tool, to bring people together as a Oneness. He's also here for
mankind's s-iritual growth. He seems to open up an energy in the mind
that is there, but just needs a little push. People pick up visions of
the past, of other planets, and some are creatively inspired. They feel
healing. Max is a personal experiece.
Debbie: What kind of experiences do you have with Max?
JoAnn: Mainly through dreams. I'll even have UFO dreams where they'll
talk to me and tell me things. It doesn't dominate my life. I keep my
feet on the ground. I keep an open mind and an open heart and that's
how we want people to view Max. It's only been in the last few hundred
years that the skull has been used as a symbd of e-il. In ancient
history the skull was used as a symbol of knowledge.
Debbie: How did you finally meet F.R. 'Nick Nocerino?
JoAnn: I called museums, TV stations, etc. searching for information
on anyone who knew anything about the skulls until finally someone gave
me his name. He told me he had known about the skull and been searching
or it since 1949. Max said 'This is the man!' Nick brought some
documentation, and from there it has been a learning process. Nick was
able to identify Max in two ways, the first by his documented skill in
psyc-ometry, and the second by information that he was given in 1947
by a shaman in Central America when he was working for the Gov-rnment.
I keep in touch with Nick regularly.
I've written a book on the history of Max which is, as of yet,
untitled. It's just now going to the publishers, so it will be a while
yet before it is out. Max is the largest of all the skulls, weighing
18 pounds.
Debbie: What did you do for a living before all this started?
JoAnn: Absolutely nothing. I was just a regular little housewife,
cleaned my home. I did the books for our family business and raised
my two children.
I was raised in the typical southern L-theran C-urch but I keep
an open mind. Your truths are your truths and mine are mine. Each
carries his own truth. You don't have to believe and like everything
you see, but if you don't examine other peoples' truths then you have
nothing to compare your own to.
Debbie: Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to meeting you in
June.
Anything else you would like to add?
JoAnn: Right now our plans are just to continue to allow Max to
continue to be a joy and inspiration to many thousands of people to
come. Maxwill be waiting to meet you.

In 1990, Mrs. Parks wrote a booklet that introduced and told a brief
history about "Max". This booklet was entitled, The Story of Max, The
Texas Crystal Skull. In this section, I would like to paraphase a few
more details about "Max" that were not covered in the interview above.
Some interesting information which has been discovered about Max,
during its research: Max is at least 10,000 years old or older
(generally 36,000 years is attributed to its age). Max was probably
carved from a piece of quartz that was at least 40 or 50 pounds. If
the skull had been hand rubbed down to 18 lbs., it is estimated that
it took 200 or 250 years (etc) to do. This is because it is not
believed that the Mayans really created the skulls nor was it hand
rubbed down in Mrs Parks' opinion. Max was found in a tomb in
Guatemala between 1924 and 1926.
From the scooped out indentation underneath Max, it is speculated
that this was an altar skull, where it may have been worshipped as a
G-d. The major inclusions found within "Max" travel all the way down
the inside part of the skull. The creators of "Max" carved right into
these inclusions. Due to the depth of the inclusions most experts
(crystal carvers, geologist, gemologists) all believe that no
diamond-tipped tools could have been use to shape "Max" (if such tools
even existed at the time of "Max's" creation).
Just as with other crystal skulls, Mrs. Parks believe that "MAX" is
like a computer and has the ability to record and replay events that
occur in its presence.
"Max" and JoAnn Parks are now traveling all over the Uni-ed States.
Generally, when JoAnn works alone, she will offer a lecture and a
hands-on workshop as well as private sessions with "MAX". If you would
be interested to setup a private appointment with "Max" or to sponsor a
weekend event including "Max" and Joann, please feel free to write or
call:

Max, The Texas Crystal Skull or she has available a
http://www.v-j-enterprises.com/wolfsong.html
video tape entitled MAX, The 36,000 Year Old Crystal Skull: The
Oldest Peace Elder at Wolf Song II produced by Blue Star Productions.
This is a wonderful tape where "Max" is part of this sacred gathering
of International Indigenous Elders for World Peace, held in 1992. Mrs.
Parks also offers some black and white photographs of "MAX", various
small contemporary carved crystal skulls from Brazil who stay with
"MAX" and carry his energies and various other related informational
videos.
PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM JOANN PARKS
We feel "MAX" will continue to be a Joy and Inspiration to many
thousands of people to come, that he has been exposed to us at this
time to Mankind for a particular purpose, and that purpose is only
just beginning to be realized.
I am so thankful to G-d to be a part, in whatever small way that may
be, to help us understand who we are and where we are going. Go- has
given us many gifts and tools in many forms to help us along our own
path of Truth. Is "MAX" simply a tool for us, given to help us along?
WE know "MAX" is special, and Carl and I think you for this
opportunity to share "MAX" with you. We hope he leaves you with that
special little something which he does so well.
Always,
JoAnn & MAX

Believed to be between 5,000 and 36,000 years old, Max is known to

He said, "Take this, and one of these days you will know what it is
for and about."
Well we didn't know, but we brought it home and put it in a box
in the closet for seven years, from 1980 to 1987. During this time
it would come to me in dreams. It told me it was looking for a man
and I should find him. I couldn't believe it, but suddenly found
myself standing in the closet and talking to a rock. I finally said,
"Wait a minute! I don't want anything to do with you ." We argued
for seven years. He said, "You will be talking to hundreds of people

So here I am, standing in the closet talking to a rock and
telling him that I'd help find this man. (She laughs) So in June

able to identify Max in two ways, the first by his documented skill in
psyc-ometry, and the second by information that he was given in 1947
by a shaman in Central America when he was working for the Gov-rnment.
I keep in touch with Nick regularly.
I've written a book on the history of Max which is, as of yet,
untitled. It's just now going to the publishers, so it will be a while
yet before it is out. Max is the largest of all the skulls, weighing
18 pounds.
Debbie: What did you do for a living before all this started?
JoAnn: Absolutely nothing. I was just a regular little housewife,
cleaned my home. I did the books for our family business and raised
my two children.
I was raised in the typical southern L-theran C-urch but I keep
an open mind. Your truths are your truths and mine are mine. Each
carries his own truth. You don't have to believe and like everything
you see, but if you don't examine other peoples' truths then you have
nothing to compare your own to.
Debbie: Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to meeting you in
June.
Anything else you would like to add?
JoAnn: Right now our plans are just to continue to allow Max to
continue to be a joy and inspiration to many thousands of people to
come. Maxwill be waiting to meet you.

In 1990, Mrs. Parks wrote a booklet that introduced and told a brief
history about "Max". This booklet was entitled, The Story of Max, The
Texas Crystal Skull. In this section, I would like to paraphase a few
more details about "Max" that were not covered in the interview above.
Some interesting information which has been discovered about Max,
during its research: Max is at least 10,000 years old or older
(generally 36,000 years is attributed to its age). Max was probably
carved from a piece of quartz that was at least 40 or 50 pounds. If
the skull had been hand rubbed down to 18 lbs., it is estimated that
it took 200 or 250 years (etc) to do. This is because it is not
believed that the Mayans really created the skulls nor was it hand
rubbed down in Mrs Parks' opinion. Max was found in a tomb in
Guatemala between 1924 and 1926.
From the scooped out indentation underneath Max, it is speculated
that this was an altar skull, where it may have been worshipped as a
G-d. The major inclusions found within "Max" travel all the way down
the inside part of the skull. The creators of "Max" carved right into
these inclusions. Due to the depth of the inclusions most experts
(crystal carvers, geologist, gemologists) all believe that no
diamond-tipped tools could have been use to shape "Max" (if such tools
even existed at the time of "Max's" creation).
Just as with other crystal skulls, Mrs. Parks believe that "MAX" is
like a computer and has the ability to record and replay events that
occur in its presence.
"Max" and JoAnn Parks are now traveling all over the Uni-ed States.
Generally, when JoAnn works alone, she will offer a lecture and a
hands-on workshop as well as private sessions with "MAX". If you would
be interested to setup a private appointment with "Max" or to sponsor a
weekend event including "Max" and Joann, please feel free to write or

Through Mrs. Parks, you can also obtain her booklet, The Story of
Max, The Texas Crystal Skull or she has available a
http://www.v-j-enterprises.com/wolfsong.html
video tape entitled MAX, The 36,000 Year Old Crystal Skull: The
Oldest Peace Elder at Wolf Song II produced by Blue Star Productions.
This is a wonderful tape where "Max" is part of this sacred gathering
of International Indigenous Elders for World Peace, held in 1992. Mrs.
Parks also offers some black and white photographs of "MAX", various
small contemporary carved crystal skulls from Brazil who stay with
"MAX" and carry his energies and various other related informational
videos.
PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM JOANN PARKS
We feel "MAX" will continue to be a Joy and Inspiration to many
thousands of people to come, that he has been exposed to us at this
time to Mankind for a particular purpose, and that purpose is only
just beginning to be realized.
I am so thankful to G-d to be a part, in whatever small way that may
be, to help us understand who we are and where we are going. Go- has
given us many gifts and tools in many forms to help us along our own
path of Truth. Is "MAX" simply a tool for us, given to help us along?
WE know "MAX" is special, and Carl and I think you for this
opportunity to share "MAX" with you. We hope he leaves you with that
special little something which he does so well.
Always,
JoAnn & MAX
