Almine Barton I knew her when she was a belly dancer. Internet

UNbelievable. The Almine I knew in the late 80s was performing locally as a belly dancer at local resorts and also did some little theater. At that time she was fixated on herself not others.

She had delusions of being a super star of some sort and claimed to have been at various times a runway fashion model, professional performer. She's definitely a professional performer and always looking for a way to make money to sustain the elaborate and luxurious lifestyle she feels she was born to have. Seems she has found her ultimate role. The first time I saw her in her current persona was at a conference.

She was not there in person, but she had some of ther "followers" at her booth hawking her wares and showing her videos. When I saw her image and started looking at the materials on the display I was just stunned because I NEVER knew she was a "holy woman" or had any sort of uber-spiritual abilities. Just the opposite actually. As I began to know her from belly dancing (I belonged to the same belly dance organization at the time) I began to realize what an incredibly narcissistic and manipulative individual she really is. Very intelligent for sure, articulate, educated and knows how to work a crowd. Her beauty is only on the surface people.

No way is she what she's claiming these days. Well, maybe in her own mind. Any "transfiguration" her body went through in 2005 was done while under anesthetic. I'd like to know exactly when and for how long she lived as a "Toltech Nagual". Was it some sort of weekend retreat experience? When I knew her she lived in a split level house in Newport Oregon with her attorney husband, her childlren, and her elderly mother. She is a sham shaman and should be ashamed.
