The musical impresario and the witch behind 2&2TV
Thanks to the researches by a fellow member of CMOMM, I’ve been able to put together some details about the couple behind 2&2 TV.
There’s a big clue if you go to Amazon and search for a book titled: ’I am a Witch’. Actually, it’s part of a whole series of books - six in all - I am a Witch Part 1, Part 2 and so on, some written in the original German, others which are English translations of the original: ’Ich bin eine Hexe’.
+++++++
I am a Witch
On landing at the ‘I am a Witch’ page on Amazon, one is greeted by this tweet, by a lady called ‘Rowena Tarot’. Here is the actual tweet:
Rowena Tarot @RowenaTarot
just picket this up Maddy Mcann case you have to watch: http://t.co/2riXvPxD8k
The stated name of the author of the ‘I am a Witch’ series is Manja McCade. Indeed she has another Twitter address under that name: Manja McCade @ManjaITLamg.
Another couple of links are:
http://www.manja-mccade.com/index.html

I will come to ITLamg later.
In fact, ‘Rowena Tarot’ is one of a number of different names used by Manja McCade, who lives with her husband, Keith McCade, in Leipzig in the former East Germany.
The three names she usually uses are:
Manja McCade – married name
Manja Schmidt – which appears to be her maiden nam, and
Manja Rowena, or ‘Rowena Tarot’ - an occultic name seemingly derived from the word ‘rune’ - and is related to those who ‘read the runes’.
Her commitment to occultic practice and witchery of all kinds appears to be very deep.
+++++++
Rowena Tarot
As ‘Rowena Tarot’, she appears prominently on a well-known German website:
http://www.hexenladen-hamburg.de/shop/ (= ‘The Shop for Witch Products’)
which promotes an array of occultic, magical and New Age remedies and goods.
Manja McCade/Rowena Tarot markets the so-called ‘Runic Pentagram’. Here is her entry (using ‘Google Translate’) on the ‘Hexenladen’ witches’ website:
QUOTE
The Runic Pentagram - Runenlegung
39,95 € inclusive price: €39,95 incl. 19% VAT.
Kategorie: E-Mail-Beratungen .Category: E-mail consultations .
The Runic Pentagram is a very special and exclusive available with us Runenlegung.
As a ancient emblem, the pentagram also represents the elements of our lives:
The Spirit - Fire - Water - Air - The Earth
In this laying the runes are drawn that are available for that item to you, and in the preparation of these are brought to each other.
We have to recognise stumbling blocks in the situation and can tell you what energies you should still be strengthened to achieve your goals in life or even to them if necessary to redefine.
The pentagram Runenlegung allows us to recognise hidden talents and abilities that can benefit you with the targeted use of runes forces on your life.
This product is offered in co-operation with Manja Rowena Tarot.
To create the Runenlegung we need a short description of the situation, your first name and your date of birth.

There are some, myself included, who would regard selling ‘runic pentagrams’ for around £35 a throw as little short of an outright scam.

Reiki
Manja McCade uses another alias, Manja Schmidt, to promote another of her commercial activities – the dangerous, Buddhist-based occultic practice of ‘Reiki’.
Her website is here:
http://www.reiki-leipzig.eu/
She proclaims herself as a ‘Reiki Master’.
Her site is tagged:
Buddhist
Chronic
Complimentary Therapy
Conventional Medicine
Japan
Master

Mikao Usuo
Monk
Pain
Palliative
Placebo

Reiki is perhaps summed up as a kind of ‘laying on of hands’ whereby the therapist transmits ‘positive energy’ into the patient to get rid of ‘negative energy’.
I am sure that any Reiki Master could put it more accurately.
A detailed description of how Reiki is supposed to work is here:
http://www.crossroad.to/Q&A/HolisticHealth/reiki.htm
It has been condemned by many as a dangerous practice.
For secular views on its dangers, try

For a Christian perspective on its dangers, this site is useful: “Dangers of Reiki - Warning About A Dangerous Occult Practice”, by Chris Lawson, updated April 2014:

Manja McCade/Schmidt also appears on this site:
www.esoterikverzeichnis.de/anbieter/index.php?id...
She describes herself here as ‘Kartenlegerin, Reikimeisterin, Hexe’ (= Tarot Card Reader, Reiki Master and Witch).

Keith Cranston, or Keith McCade?
From the page in German here about Manja McCade, she uses the same e-mail address as is used by ‘Keith Cranston’, the server provider for 2&2TV:
manja@insidethelight.com
Keith Cranston appears to be simply another name used by Keith McCade, Manja’s husband, and the person who contacted me from 2&2TV.
Keith McCade has a musical background and is (or was) a partner in the musical resources Firm of ITLamg, based in Hamburg. ITLamg is a record label based near Hamburg, Germany.
Its website says that “ITLamg provides 360 ethical equitable representation for artists seeking to secure a long-term career in the music industry. With our industry partners ITLamg artist services include” [a list of services is provided].
Keith McCade’s business in Leipzig is described on the ‘Backstage Pro’ website as an ‘Artist Management Group’:
http://www.backstagepro.de/firma/itlamg-label-veranstalter-booking-agentur-leipzig-qhDbWrtLdD
Here he is also on MixCloud:
http://www.mixcloud.com/keith-mccade/
When Keith McCade contacted me, he referred to his ‘team’ which apparently functions under the name ‘Black Buttercup’. He referred me to this site to view his fourth ‘2&2TV’ film, on the ‘Last Photo’. Its full name is ‘Black Buttercup Independent Forensic Analysis’.
However, all that is on the site today is one page directing you to an e-mail address, this is the message:
“Welcome to blackbuttercup.com
“Black Buttercup provides independent forensic analysis and interpretation of crime scene evidence and events surrounding the most challenging investigations for Police and legal advocates worldwide.
“To enquire into specific services please contact us at: forinser (at) blackbuttercup.com
“All other enquiries please to: reception (at) blackbuttercup.com”
I cannot find any other evidence of the presence of ‘Black Buttercup Forensic Investigations’ on the internet.
Search for ‘Keith McCade’ on the internet and many links come up. One of them is his Facebook account, here:
https://www.facebook.com/keithmccade?fref=browse_search
Oddly, he doesn’t mention his work for ITLamg, but merely describes himself as ‘Senior Profiler for ‘Black Buttercup’. It seems a bit of a change from the music industry.
However, reading some of the other links, it seems that he and his company may have suffered some form of financial setback when they had to announce the cancellation of planned concert featuring Bryan Ferry appearing together with a German orchestra.
Whether the efforts of Keith McCade on behalf of ‘Black Buttercup’ represent a genuine but unfortunately mistaken attempt to ‘crack’ the mystery of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann I am unable to say.

A happy man
But what I can say is that he is a very happy man.
On social media, he once said this:
“I have the best job in the world I get paid to make music, I live in the greatest city in the world, Leipzig, Germany, I'm married to the most beautiful girl in the world, Manja, and I have the coolest cat in the world, ‘Monster’.”
