During the pain free moments of the last few months i was able to put together this basic website using the free wix builder and have been enjoying the growing energy behind it. While i may not use wix for the final site, this free service offers me the chance to see how my website might look & feel, most importantly giving me the opportunity to show it around and get feedback before committing to any long term contracts with internet hosting. At this stage everything is sill open to potential change and i am looking now for your valuable feedback.

RANA

Rana Niejta is a Norwegian goddess from Sami mythology, described as the daughter of Spring and the one who makes it possible for trees & herbs to grow and flourish anew every year.

I was introduced to her in a meditative state during a Beyond Quantum Healing session and although she appeared to me as a white horse she was clear about her name and my mission to find and plant a 'seed'. At the time i did not understand her words but in the weeks which followed it became evident that the seed was a metaphor for living in gift. Old fears connected to an old paradigm can be released now, replaced by a Universal system of exchange going far beyond money.

Shortly after this it occurred to me that RANA also stands for Resonance Amplification & Natural Alignment.

Resonance amplification refers to our frequency devices while natural alignment refers to our business ethos.

"Everything in life is vibration" and if we can harness the beneficial frequencies, amplifying them to achieve a natural alignment with our physical playground, impossible dreams can be achieved.

The logo & font

Am not sold on the font yet but i was looking for something futuristic and also representative of pyramids in the letter A.

The three black rings around the pyramid are the Sacred, Lost & Empowerment cubit tensor rings, created just a few days ago for the first time in this style for @drrune.

The idea of a triangle inside of a circle is an old one, signifying the soft spiritual world encompassing the harder physical world, with the three sides of the triangle representing the Trinity.

It was not a symbol which jumped out at me initially but over the last month the Universe has presented it to me multiple times with the reminder that the symbol under which we stand is very important.

On the morning of January 3rd Esteban woke excited to tell me about a detailed dream showing a machine which appeared to be levitating some alternate version of myself (my Higher Self he said). He also remembered clearly the symbol at the base of the machine. A triangle in a circle.

I take the dreams of my children very seriously and they both have their own dream books now, keeping a record for future reference.

I liked the symbol but did not at the time make the connection between this and RANA so the Universe kept prodding me with crazy stuff like this metal plate stand seen on our table at a local restaurant.

And even on my own jacket which was pulled out of the wardrobe by 'chance' for the first time in ages.

Only then did i finally understood what i was being told.

Making @drrune's three tensor rings completed the final part of the puzzle and this drawing followed quickly after.

Finally becoming this (using the free photo software Gimp).

Clear, simple and effective.

Feels like a strong banner to me.

What do you think?

The website

Like i said, this is all still very open to change so your input is highly valued at this stage.

It has six main pages seen here.

Home

On the home page i put a revolving selection of images to entice the viewer in.

There is a slider underneath it for those who wish to browse products randomly from the home page and a section for email updates.

There is an about us section.

And also this brief look at our 'business' ethos.

About

This page describes Rana Niejta and the meaning of RANA.

Shop

I added categories to help refine searches along with the 31 products we currently have photos for.
Screenshot 2024-01-25 at 06.17.00.png

Each product has front & back images with a brief description.

You can add stuff to your cart from here but you won't be able to pay in the usual manner and must instead hit the Contact page

Contact

Hopefully this page is self explanatory. One leaves a message and we get back to them with a time for the video call which is an essential part of the process behind getting your hands on one of these devices.

FAQ

Many people will be new to these kind of products so i felt as if this page was important.

Here are the current categories listed on the page:

What is a tensor ring?

Sacred Cubit

Lost Cubit

Empowerment Cubit

What is an orgonite pyramid?

How can we measure this energy?

How can we run a business on gift?

A few paragraphs from this section here.

The gifting process step by step

Blog

This last page gives people the opportunity to get to know us better through the hive blog and will ultimately direct them here.

I also put a link to my films and posted this seven-year-old one at the bottom because it has stood the test of time very well and feels relevant to where i am at now.

Final thoughts

In the future i will add a page listing all the ways in which i can see the Universe 're-paying' us for our efforts. Even in the last few days there have been two examples of unusual events leading to wondrous 'gifts' for my family.

  • The village Mayor (our landlord) has uncharacteristicly informed us that he will install double glazing before next winter. Normally, I am told, it can take up to 30 years to get things like this done yet it would seem we have been able to do it in less than three.

  • We've found the perfect land to plant our 100 fruit & nut trees. It comes with a crazy story of unlikely scenarios to make it available to us for free and appears to tick all the boxes. Just a 5min walk from our home, isolated location, full sun exposition, super soil, right next to the canal with irrigation channel & collection pond already dug.

An ongoing page of updates like this will I hope serve as evidence that our system is working, encouraging others to let go of their fears and follow in our footsteps.

Please check out the site here if you feel it, browse the products, read the info and let me know your thoughts.

  • Is this a viable idea?
  • Will i have legal ramifications using this system?
  • Does the video call put you off the process?
  • Is there anything you would change about the site or exchange process?

Am deeply grateful to have you with me on this journey and as i mentioned in my last post i will offer the hive community the chance to be our first 'customers' before the final site goes live.

Love & Light everyone 🌱

Great website! Love the logo, too. It has an interesting story.
I am interested in getting something from the shop!

Many thanks for checking it out.

Am pleased you feel the logo is okay. Though i think, the more i look at it, i don't like the way i have plastered it all over the main page. Things always need time to age a bit and for my excitement to die down before i can accurately make judgements.

Wonderful you are interested to get something! Stay tuned this year let's see if i get get this system up and running soon...

Congratulations, Sam! And I'm deeply honored that the rings that you made for me ended up being catalysts for the last image of that logo. I love them and I love the logo too, very simple and powerful. I'm glad that you're expanding your practice, it inspires me to finally make my own website (I've been very hesitant about it for years.) Thank you again for mentioning me here and I'd love to see what's next in your process!

Check Telegram for the address. My friend leaves for Paris on Jan. 6th, then for Venezuela on Jan. 7th.

Sure, everything flowed very naturally once i had the energy (and no pain!) to continue with your rings.

Am behind schedule on the posting of your rings but think we are still going to make it. Today is the day, not only for you but a bunch of other people, for the boxes to all make their way to the post office. The french postal system is pretty good and six days should be ample.

It was a bit of a test making the box (from the inside lining of a cat food box!) but now that i have made one the next will be simpler. I will be interested to hear if the box still seems in good condition by the time it arrives with you.

Was in two minds about the colouring on your rings as i put them in the box. The colourful bit seems to have faded a lot since creation and perhaps this is why people just end up cleaning it off? Still, you have the first set of many to come and while future rings may end up looking different, yours will always be the prototype which inspired the logo.

I'm so excited to read all of that, my friend! Can't wait to have those rings and meditate with them. Thank you wholeheartedly for the work you've put into them!

Looks like the sum total of all the work you did in the previous month (and years). Very impressive!

The only thing that I suggest to change is the pictures that are automatically revolving. I find that very irritating. There are some type of widgets (apps? features? I have no idea how these are called) that allow for the the automatic change of pictures to be stopped manually.

Well hello there! Many thanks for checking out the site.

I can see how the revolving images might become irritating quickly and a manual stop button seems a logical solution. In truth the i could probably ditch the revolving thing altogether if i could just settle on a 'main' image. The option to see more is still there underneath it.

Am having a look at spotify now as the place to put all this together.

Awesome Sam, nice page and products! I would be interested in one of those gorgeous pyramids, or maybe a custom-made one...😉

Hey brother!

So good to hear you may be interested in a custom made pyramid. It would of course be my pleasure to do this for you.

I've not yet written a post about it but the iron/quartz pyramid (the one built for functionality) is blowing my mind in the way it is affecting the water filter it sits above. These filters normally last 2 months before my PPM meter tells me the water is over 0.006 with impurities and therefore time to buy another. However, since putting the pyramid on it in Oct (almost 4 months ago) the PPM meter still reads only 0.001 today. These Zero Water filters are expensive so this is great news! And a useful application of orgonite pyramid technology which i am not seeing other people doing.

Greetings Sam! That's very interesting what you observed with your water filter...
Do you think it's more the material or the sacred geometrical shape of the pyramid that causes the effect on your water?
I have a shungite pyramid, i might try it on our new reverse osmosis water filter system. 😉

Do you think it's more the material or the sacred geometrical shape of the pyramid that causes the effect on your water?

Bit of both really but mostly i would say it is the mix of iron powder with resin which produces the strong reaction. Iron is expensive and heavy so it is generally avoided in the orgonite industry. Replaced by aluminium which, understanding more now, i will never use again in orgonite.

Try out the shungite on the reverse osmosis system and see how it goes. Though if i had a shungite pyramid i would probably put it on the wifi box.

Very impressive Sam. I like the website and you have a nice range of products available with good pictures and placement. It seems very enticing, I would certainly look to buy a few things when you are up and running.

It would be my pleasure to create something for you!

And if you feel it, the exchange could even be made in HIVE.

Thank Sam, I will take a browse on your store, I love the personal touches to the items.

I like the webpages, but the strong black lines for the logo I think are too much. I liked the prototype just before it much more. Your items are so beautiful, I hope this gifting works really well!

Sabrina said the same thing. And that the drawing of the logo was more feminine. I tried with thinner lines in the picture editor and dropped in onto the site, finding that it just didn't stand out enough. But perhaps there is a happy medium between thick and thin. Let's see.

Many thanks for the feedback 🙏

Hey Sam,

Congrats for putting up your website! Trying different things out with wix to get a grips of what you'd like your website to look like is definitely a viable exercise. Keep in mind though, that websites are a work in progress, meaning as you change, the layout and info you put out changes.

This being said, let's get to the "business" side of things:

  • Hosting can be a pain. I suggest you have a look at Shopify as they take care of this part. You can go with a default (free) theme for a start and upgrade along the way. Default themes aren't exactly speed bunnies ...

  • Integrating payment providers, bookkeeping and other necessary plugins. Unless you want to fumble around with coding etc, have a look at Shopify. They are not the answer to all there is eComm wise but they do a tremendous job. The no 1 ecomm wizz guy works with Shopify; his name is Ezra Firestone. He even teaches Amazon how to tweak and optimize its shops. That says smth.

  • Legal. Make sure you have your TC, PP in place. There are templates you can use too.

Furthermore, you can test Shopify for a couple of weeks for free and see if you want to roll with it. I've been in the ecomm biz for over a decade and happy to help you navigate it.

Most importantly, be aligned with your message. That of course you do my friend.

Hey Krisz!

Many thanks for taking a look at the site.

Your notes on hosting & other plugins are perfect. Never really liked Wix. Am just familiar with it. Started to have a loot around the Spotify site yesterday and it does look great.

What are TC & PP? I've not had much experience in this field!

You're welcome Sam.

TC stands for Terms & Conditions.
PP for Privacy Policy. You need to include both as well as a Shop Policy.

If you want to take crypto payments for your products, you might want to look into the following two payment gateways:

Flexa - they are a Shopify partner
https://flexa.network/solutions

NowPayments - Shopify plugin available
https://nowpayments.io/payment-integration/shopify-plugin

Cheers

Okay got it.

For the crypto payments am not sure that i really need a gateway. All orders will be taken manually and i would like for the option to remain open for ANY crypto to be used. The customer can choose. I will set up the wallet if i don't already have it, send them the address and they can make the donation.

If at some point the payment system becomes automated the gateway will be more valuable. Though my feeling is that i will be avoiding all things automated long into the future. Only in this way can i keep the productions authentic.
