The Violet Fire Consumes Battle Records Paula knows that the violet flame can do more than transmute records of personal karma. It can also transmute the memories and karma of terrible events of the past, such as murders, injustices and even wars. Paula and her family feel a strong connection with the South and the Civil War. One evening while she was in a group violetflame decree session, she had a vision of the violet flame transmuting the records of one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War— Shiloh. The battle began early in the morning of April 6, 1862, when 42,000 Union soldiers were camping near Shiloh church, a simple log structure close to the Tennessee river. The troops, who expected no attack and did not dig defensive fortifications, were surprised by a Confederate army. The battle lasted two days and ended with the retreat of the Confederate army after 25,000 Union reinforcements arrived.
