Our journey of love Posted by bunny

We all came from different side of the earth, we come together by chance or so it seem

but soon finding out, there was no such thing as a chance, the divine plan was real...alive. weaving us together by divine connection ,calling to gather and gather as we didand together we grew a bound, that surpassed time and space, a bound that broughtour "highselves", together again and again, to dance among star and breath the fairydust of love.

We laid our journey and shared our hopes and dreams

We gather support and offered wisdom to honoured the great spirit.

and through tears and laughter, we found ouself stronger not weaker

to go beyond the immediate and to rise up like eagle seeing all from a widerperspective

for the divine conncetion did not break , it only grew...

we began to unravel the transformation we had each experienced.

we saw the hand of God carry us from place to place within our soul ...revealing thetruth .

that nothing remains the same to everything there is a season under heaven.

We touch all those who walk in this space

all the soul we came in contact with

all the heart we are around.

let our light shine pouringinto the world the love we are living.

Being Angry at someone while they have a good ol time

Posted by Sha w

This happens to us all from time to time , even out shopping and someone jumps infront of you in the car lot or inside the store, as if they are there to specificly complicatethings for you. their time line is on a random unique sequence as yours, they may feelsame about you in trying to interfere in their route plan. so many out there think theworld is out to ruin their day when it's not. Things or the Time and space doesntarrange itself around your time line, so get over that first..

And as with those who seem to complicate simple things Like a simple store run.. youhave others if past relationship or current partners or family who seem to complicatethings..

You have to realize they maynot understand your "B line" you exist in. we each haveour own ideas of life very different then those near us.. so you cant allow others tomake you angry, just understand they dont understand and sometimes you try toexplain but that isnt allways succesful. there are those out there that are on a path ofmaking it rough for others , due to lack of in their own presence, which is wrong butpeople have habit of lashing out on others , and many times will not speak to thosewho have caused this displeasure or they dont listen and it continues.. and in this wefeel violated and by mistake let our egos take control and get angry, How dare they dothis to ME.. someone made you sire? queen? to be above to say what one should andshouldnt be able to do or say.. you have to realize again they cant help but to not knowthey dont live your life , your ideas, your thoughts, is no possible way for them to do soeven if you told them , it will register to what they grew up and knew and learned orwas taught.


7/55

I have got this way usually those just out to hate or a mission of causing unrest withthose around them, but then I have to think about what is the possible reason they arelike this and since I dont know them that well.. well I know it wasnt me and they havea control issue and need to get things worked out.

so anytime someone at a store or any where allot like in public forums on net is alwaysgoing to be some troll person hating .. They get their feed on watching you argue withthem so they can take all their frustrations out on you because at this point they couldcare less who you are but they are able to release their self absorbed hatred for theoriginal problem could be since child hood you never know.

If it is friend, family or anyone that seems to have a bad day toward you..tell yourselfyou dont understand and just wish them a quick resolve and step away from anyarguement what so ever. dont stand there and feed it with reason.. if you do .. make itin a calm voice i assure you .. you will be heard more in a calm tone then shouting ortalking with anger..people in anger lose all sense of acknowledgement andcomprehension sometimes and many times things important said are forgotten..

I will say i have seen someone angry and very mad raging and all i had to do was say"Have you try meditation" and boy do they blow up.. some dont like being calmeddown what so ever ..lol

so step away from it if possible.. and if your being hounded by parent , just know theytrying their best the way they know how.. even if of another path criticizing yours..they do not know better and mostly will not listen if you try to explain it to them.. justbe confident in yourself and what your intentions are .. they cannot take that awayfrom you.. just say sorry Love you but have to go.. even though they are your parents orclose friend they can become like these I speak of earlier with a hidden underlyingreason you may never understand..


8/55

some are only trying the only way they know how.. not knowing your way works foryou although it doesnt for them.. thats the conformed way of thinking, they have tounderstand blue works for you , orange works for them and thats the way it is.. dont letpeople change you from your intuitive path, we were givin this gift for a reason and inthe collective we all have a purpose that fit together like a puzzle..

allot of times after you get home from store angry over what someone did to you inparking lot jumping for space or cut in line .. they at home enjoying laughing and havea good ol time and done forgot about you.. so let it GO!!!

This will only bring peace back to you dont carry those peoples bad energies and vibeshome..

anger never solves anything.. stop think take breathe and look to the next minute.. aslong as your angry reflecting it your only bringing down all those around you and yourown energies..

so many times I get flamed up but instantly remind myself something is up with thisperson and they cant help it awwww .. etc.. although they could with better control..

Let it Go and move on no matter.. they can never live your life but they can disrupt it ifyou let them.. no..

Huggs and Thanks

Getting Back The IT Posted by Forest Faerie

Sometimes life is very good & it seems that everything just falls into place exactly as wewant it to. In fact, we are often mystified by the surprises that we hadnt even wished

for. These are the times when we feel close to Spirit, our energies balanced, in harmonywith the Universe, and so on. These are the times when it feels like a beautiful sunnyday is happening every day.Sometimes life feels very hurtful & it seems that there are no solutions & that we willnever be able to be happy again. We often believe that we must be cursed or sufferingfrom bad karma. These are the times when we feel abandoned by Spirit, chaoticenergies within & without, like the Universe is out to get us, and so on. These are thetimes when it feels like a torrential rain with hail-stones the size of volkswagonsbeating down upon our heads.For awhile, we may try not to feel. We may live in front of the tv, obsess on the internet(more than usual), stay in bed with the covers pulled over our heads, and so on. Thisseems to work for a bit but eventually that nervous knot that permeates the core of ourbeing just becomes way to uncomfortable. The loneliness of isolation begins to feellike a dark cave. We even actually become bored with the internet.This is when IT happens. I am quite sure that every one of you knows what IT is. IT isthe realization that we are Spiritual Beings who are part of a miraculous Universe thatis full of wonders, infinite possibilities, vast opportunities, solutions for everyproblem, answers to every question (although we may not need to learn all of them), aPLETHORA of spiritual beings-seen & unseen-who are willing & able to guide us, andmany more things that are too many to mention.IT is also..drumroll pleasewhen we remember that we are MAGICKAL peoplewho practice a craft that gives many benefits. Just as the old saying goes, Physicianheal thyself, Witch heal thyself. We are not unique to spirituality because of ourcraft, but we along with other magickal folk have this added little perk. It means just abit more oomph to the energy we can use to get unstuck & get things rolling back in theright direction.I dont know about you folks but when things come in like a storm & I cant keep upwith the dilemma that just happened yesterday, I sometimes forget who & what I am.Ive been taught over the years that emotions are a key ingredient to good spellwork.Well, I know that when Ive given in to misery for a bit I have plenty of emotion towork with. Thats when I come roaring out of the cave like a big hungry grizzly bear.Thats when Im ready to do all of the basics like grounding, cleansing, balancing, etcso that Im prepped for some much need meditation & spellwork. Luckily, these timesare fewer & shorter in duration as time goes by. As I learn & grow more spiritually I ambetter prepared for lifes curves. I still panic, I still hide under the covers, & I still oftenlose sight of possibilities. Above it all though the IT is stronger & stronger. Spiritrea ches me more easily now when I forget its there. I try to focus on the positives &less on the fears. Forest Faerie

Enchanted shine of the forPosted by bunny

Come walk with me

into the enchanted lands of the Forest Dwellers

The Ones we hear so much about

but are afraid to believe in...

They Leave us gifts of their existence

fairy wings

toad stools

and blanket moss

They are Guardians to others

Watchers for dangerwarning all of darkness ahead

then coming along to Light the way.

They are as curious of us

as we are of them

Some are mischievous

up to tricks

While others watch with wonder

us human-beings

frantically running thru our lives

They wonder what the rush is


12/55

For the Forest Dwellerstime is not of importance

they wait for nothing and

long for even Less.

A mat always lays in welcome

their doors are never locked

they always have time for others

it is their Nature to be this way

And as night falls in this Enchanted Land

songs of Love are lifted to the moon

and thanks for the day that past

and the one to come

Here there is always Joy and Love

in the simplest of forms

Never give up or lose siteof the Light at end of tunn

Posted by haw

Many times we find ourselves working hard to try to make things better for all around us thenthings happen to us, Death in family or sickness ,bills, school, life partner issues. these things willhappen.. but I can tell you from experience things can always happen at any givin moment at anygivin time to help you progress to get out of that mud hole your stuck in.. You can just never give uphope in it. I have yet found anyone who hasnt had to deal with allot and somehow out of no wherefound Light at the end of the tunnel..it is there it is always there..it is upto you to keep that lightthere.. cannot give up or consistantly think it will not get better.. it will not if you dont allow it.. andno one else can help you out of that mud hole, you have to grab the rope and climb out..is one there..as with those who give advice how to deal and cope in most situations, many of us have been there.and we somehow even without knowing how manage to escape that quicksand. always keep positiveno matter always forge forward do not allow yourself to be held back by any one that tries. yoursituation may seem dire to you and say "no one understands" but we do..

You have to trust in your God / Goddess and your Higher sources are there to assist you even throughhardest times.. you just have to get beyond aspects that hold you back. many find that hard due toabsence or someone else making their life difficult by words of discouragement..dont listen to it..most of time is them reflecting their discorse of their own life on you ..in most cases it is this.. youcannot let it effect you. unlesss you are not confident in yourself you shouldnt let someone else tellyou who you are.. confidence is key and if you cannot trust in yourself how can anyone else or yourguides help you.. shouldnt be messin up if your not confident and usually is because many believe

what they are told by others then what they know of themselves.. why? dono why they allow it but do.

You have a right, a space here in this Universe that is yours only. so make the best of it even in hardtimes and stop making excuses why you cant because you can make things better. are those here onthis site can help with advice including me.. take a few suggestions and work with it we would nottell you things if we didnt know.. we do not have a habit of just doing and saying things asexperiment we do not play with peoples lives so dont play with your own with doubt.. things effectyou because you let it.. if you took away everything negative someone else said about you.. shouldonly be you the one who lived through life this far , eating sleeping and dealing with situations andbe confident you did your best in what ever you attempted.

only person take that confidence away is yourself.. and people out here will not hold your hand orhold you up to that light end of tunnel they can assist but is you who has to finish your journey nomatter as long as you keep in positive progressive and hopes up.. and dont lose site of futurepossibilities it can manifest..

Only You can make things happen for you dont let others get in your way.. be a warrior in life not avictim. I have seen too many like this in last year only to come back and all worked out somehow.Universe works in mysterious ways sometimes so dont cut it short of its abilities.

Thank you

Confidence puts you on top of your gPosted by haw

When you do all that you can and try hard thats the effort, there is no hurry as longas you try.. I know many come and are afraid they are letting down their God / Goddessor higher source for not being apt as another to knowledge or use of their dedicationproperly, Truth be known as long as you attempt and try to progress your not lettinganyone down not even your higher ups..

and the more you learn and take hold of learning and control of yourself you buildconfidence , and in confidence is strength and freedom. never doubt yourself as long asyou try.. those who doubt themselves usually dont feel adequette or met to the next ..itis not that way we are all different anyway so dont compare yourself to another.. andthen there are those who feel guilty because of what another told them..ask yourself isit True? how do you feel inside about it.. if you disagree.. then you know what yourintent was.. fore what they may have took wrong or out of not understanding..

What I do to empower people is give them confidence in themselves.. once they trust inthemselves they give themselves the power not giving it to anything else as withnegative intent or thoughts or ideas.. you can give yourself power to over run them nomatter..

This is the real magic of ourselves.. and once you realize that and you take hold of allyou that is.. Freedom is then recognized and limits that been put on you by anotherhave been takin away.

same for those who are stuck living with friends or family.. they can say things to keepyou knocked down for whatever their personal reason maybe.. but keep yourconfidence in yourself always.. be true to yourself and those around you..

never let anyone tell you what you are and who you are only you would know that butjust keep a positive progressive forging forward no matter how you do it ..sometimeswe have to do or say things we dont like to but to move obsticles out of the way yousometimes have to.. but can be done in nice way..

Be confident, be strong and you will recognize freedom and your own power to be..

Much peace

When life gives you a twist,smile and keep twisting..

Posted by dragonlove

So much is happening in this world today as people are beginningto wake up and see their true purpose and what is needed to be

done. My head is constantly spinning as I watch through a new setof eyes. I am not where I am suppose to be but I am right where I

need to be. I am back at the beginning. Focus has not changed,dreams have not died. Life has only thrown me a twist, and so I will

keep smiling and twisting until it's time for me to end up rightwhere I am suppose to be. Working everyday to leave ego and pridebehind and continue with the down the path for what I am meant to

do, to continue to be a blessing to someone else. It is time to getdiligent with my writing, I have a story to tell and it's time for it tobe told so that it can help others. You will begin to start seeing me

around the forest more often.Namaste

I believe.. Isnt that enough?Posted by Willow Raine

Merry Meet friends, One thing I've learned over the years is respect for another'sspirituality. That's right! Your right and who am I to tell you differently? Each man andwoman must find their own way to the Great Spirit or God if you wish. Of course thereare many religions that claim to be the truth, the way and the light. That what you'vebelieved all your life is incorrect and you might have a one way ticket to hell foreternity. Where's the respect in that? Quite frankly it offends me when some religiousdo gooder comes on like they know all the truths in our vast universe. Or worse. Theycall me an ignorant sinner. Or a non believer.

No man has the right to tell another man he's wrong. Should we be so arrogant? Nowwith this said Im going to draw your attention to a Facebook thread started by mycousin Wayne who is a Christian. You'll see his challenge and my response to thatchallenge. What's funny is nobody has dared to correct my opinions. I wonder why?Here's the thread..

**************************************************************************Here is an open challenge to my Christian friends: Can we come up with another wordfor sin and sinner? I am sure that a lot of non-believers are turned off by these termsand we need to find away to describe the sin in their lives and how important it is thatthey deal with their condition. Just think about it.

I believe! Isnt that enough? Part2 Posted by Willow Raine

Here is an open challenge to my Christian friends: Can we come up with another word for sin andsinner? I am sure that a lot of non-believers are turned off by these terms and we need to find away todescribe the sin in their lives and how important it is that they deal with their condition. Just thinkabout it.

Wayne - Sin and save are part of our Christian lingo. What is sin, and what exactly am I being savedfrom?

Rob - Instead of trying find an another word for sin, maybe we need to be sensitive about how we usethe word. Anything short of loving God with all our heart, strength and mind and loving our neighboras ourselves is SIN. Truly accepting Jesus death on the cross as the ultimate sacrifice is what saves usfrom eternal death.

Yesterday at 5:12am Like 1..Davey - The dark part of us can be considered your EGO. So whats ego you might ask. Its everythingyou are , all your experiences have been stacked like books in a library. Your ego makes you who youare,,right now. But the LIGHT part of you shines brightly with your faith in God.. To consider me anon believer is incorrect. Although I am a Wiccan priest I believe in every form of spirituality,.Whatever works for you. Who is anybody to tell me I don't believe? Heres something Ill share withyou. Ive accepted Jesus as my personal savior MORE TIMES than I can count. Ive felt the very loveand blessing of Spirit flow through me to the point I was crying. But I needed more than just thatfaith... I spiritually evolved over all the years. I am at such peace in my life. I have everything I desirebecause I BELIEVE!

15 hours ago Like..Davey - And I have great respect for anyone who believes. Its your path and I have no right to tell youyour wrong. That everything I believe is wrong? No man should judge anothers faith.

15 hours ago Like..Wayne - I know what sin is. I know what I'm being saved from. My question is how I explain thesethings to a non-believer. I don't want to dumb down my theology, but I think that the some of thewords we believers use mean nothing to a lot of people.

15 hours ago via mobile Like..Davey - They mean something to you. Isnt that enough?

14 hours ago Like..Wayne - Not if evangelism us a goal.

13 hours ago via mobile Like..Jennifer - I don't know if you're speaking on a bigger scale or not, but I believe that when a person'sheart is ready for the Gospel and God is working in that heart, it won't matter at all what words weuse, because we need only pray and God will give us the words required to reach those who arelistening.

On Self-KnowledgeA poem by Kahlil Girbran

Posted by Willow Raine

Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's knowledge.

You would know in words that which you have always known in thought.You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams.

And it is well you should.The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise and run murmuring to

the sea;And the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your eyes.

But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure;And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line.

For self is a sea boundless and measureless.

Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I have found a truth."Say not, "I have found the path of the soul." Say rather, "I have met the soul

walking upon my path."For the soul walks upon all paths.The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.

The soul unfolds itself like a lotus of countless petals.

Just because it feels oddor different doesn t mean it s bad

Posted by haw

About 3 weeks ago I wrote a post about new energy coming in and I knew not manyread it.. but within the last couple of weeks some are starting to notice a sense ofchange.. even enhancements in their gifts as in more clarity easier to connect to theirinner concious, this is all apart of that.. now lets not confuse with all the things we heargoing on in the world from political to natural events. natural Earthly eventshappen..nothing to do with a certain set of bodies give it a name to .. with globalwarming .. How old is Earth and what has Earth been through.

so dont fall for the modern hype of what the changes are or to be.. allot is fearmongering for many reasons as with corporate funding for uncertain agendas.

so to fastly skip over that point.. is to say some will notice a change in the air.. aside ofall the political issues.. and this is what I want you to recognize over all..

I said this many times to several who question upcoming events or first thought is athing of doom..

no not once in any of my visions have I seen pending total disaster and I dont watchTV.. maybe that helped with some of the subliminals or wild action movie fed into thebrain giving it subconcious / reality mix..

These energies are good energies coming in so give it that Thought .. Please dontautomaticaly assume a feel of change is always for the bad .. many are conditioned tothis.. occasionly good things massivly do happen for the greater good.. I could throwrocks at those who consistantly think always has to be something bad..

Use this new energy to help your area of .. take it in and spread it out around you nomatter where you are.. think of a white bright glowing light and send it out.. doesntmatter is all you have to do.. it is not us having to work its the energy working and justneeds a little guidance and the thought of the progressive positive the Earth and all onit need,, break the paradigm of oh gawd its doom.. that is so agrovating its drama..feeding old drama.. and hype that been passed around over and over again..


21/55

so for once give a good thought to the new and allow your energy to progress alongwith your gifts in which to help assist in the modern dilemas that are going on and manmade.

the one thing humans and others forget about they are not above Universal energy andthe power of .. is no way man can change it nor human so stop giving power to thosewho manifested their own for their own personal gain and propaganda to control ..wont happen and wont work.. they dont have total control now we are all not in somehuman camp .. be greatful for what we do have .. many would not know what it wouldlike to do with very minimal and i have and can be done when need .... whateverchanges are there to be..remember the future not just ourselves if we have to sacrifice alittle time or moment to share great new energy ..

New energys is coming in.. the energy so many waited on for so long and I wrote aboutthis and many are starting to feel it..and because its odd to them doesnt mean bad..youmake it bad by giving it that thought so stop that..

Spread it out spread as far as you like places of need with natural disasters, kids inharms way animals which need seeing to.. anything and everything..I beensurrounding Earth with this energy going on 3 weeks actually assisting it.. the Foresthas a huge Crystaline presence around it with bright white light glowing from withinin helping this bring it to Earth and spread widely everywhere..

Thank you and hope you all can try to relax a little and be confident we can make thechanges needed that has consumed this Earth for so long.. for many of us is why we arehere to correct that or assist in that change.. ..

Much Peace

Taking scripture out of context Posted by Willow Raine

Merry Meet my friends, Happy full moon and Namaste! First of all Id like to bring yourattention to quoted verses. A lady approaches me on the street and asks " Isnt that thesign of the devil? As she points at the pentacle hanging around my neck. I patientlyexplain its true meaning and she retorts with " the bible says thou shall not suffer awitch to live!" Ok OK OK! I cannot get past her blatant ignorance towards me but forthe very book in which she yanked a verse like so many useless bullets. Im leftwondering if she even knows what the verse means. Society is being led down thegarden path by quotes and verses taken from the great libraries of humanaccomplishment. Do we even care what the verses mean? Have we read the entire storyor do we just yank out bits and pieces that suit our personal or spiritual needs?

Religious do gooders have an arsenal of verses and commandments to back theirindividual wars with any non believer. Often times they speak before even consideringthe shallowness of their convictions. My Mom always told me to THINK before I speakbecause once said we cannot take the words back lest we be judged by those verywords. I must be responsible for every word I utter. Ever have someone say "I didn'tmean it like that"? Or I don't think you understood what Ive said? Whats the sense ofsaying anything we know very little about. We could retort with If you don't knowwhat your quoting then don't say anything at all! Like the fairy tale jack and thebeanstalk.Can you tell a child its the story about a boy who spent his mothers store moneybecause he was a BAD BOY? That's not what the story is about! Its what Mommy wantsher child to believe its all about all the while leaving out the part about the hen thatlaid golden eggs. To take a verse out of context is an uneducated move and who are weto assume others will agree with our own ignorance in the face of truth? Whos truth?Our own truth can be wielded as a literary weapon backed by verses we just pluck frombooks we really know nothing about.

How can a person take a quote from the bible when they haven't read the whole bookbut only what they want to hear or read. I was taught verses from the bible and got asilver star for each one memorized. But did I bother to read the entire story around theverses? NO! Instead I was asked to use the verses in the faces of non believers. To wieldthe partial words of God like its right from the horses mouth. Some of the greatestScholars and leaders have been mis quoted from the very beginnings of the writtenword. Libraries are full of books and knowledge but we will never truly understandunless we read those books in their entirety. Do not believe everything your told but atleast have the mindset to discover ENTIRE truths, not bits and pieces at yourconvenience. Which brings me back to the beginning of this post right? May youBlessed Be!

We are being herdPosted by Willow Raine

You wake up in the morning, put on coffee, fire up your desktop PC and have ashower. This is an act being repeated by most people Monday through Friday. There's aTV commercial out where it shows a guy going through his morning routines saying "same" as he completes each task. Gets pretty stagnant after awhile doing the morningover and over again! I myself do the same thing each morning except for posting mydaily blog here in the forest. We are raised to believe we grow up, get a job, pay ourbills, tend to our responsibilities, work 8 hours, come home and watch TV untilbedtime. Its most peoples routine. And its these very routines that we pass ongeneration to generation in an endless circle of the same. Of course each of us has aspecific life path to follow and many fall into the routine trap. Life gets... well.. boring!It doesn't have to be.

Many of us just refuse to be part of the greater herd of human cattle. We strive forindividuality and that in my opinion is life's greatest challenge. To be apart from theregular hum drum of life on life's terms. We learn that we can face each day by ourterms. We can think for ourselves and choose our destiny as Spirit wills it. There aremany amongst us who are doing just that. The news is full of tragedies that are beingacted out all over the planet. We know what's right and what's wrong with us and withMother Earth. We know that fossil fuels are killing us surely as we get into our cars anddrive to work. We know our food is full of cancer causing chemicals and preservatives.We buy our drinking water in cases all the while knowing that Plastic is one of themost horrible inventions and that our land fills and oceans are full of it. We helplesslywatch as entire species of animals and plant life are wiped of the face of the earth daily.We know why and yet do nothing about it. We just keep on living our lives as prisonersof the global economy and the dirty governments whos only real agenda is to make asmuch money off our need to travel, to work, to live, to dress, to taking medications.

We stand by and watch our loved ones die horrible deaths from any of a dozen forms ofcancer. We sit in front of our big screen HD TVs and get brainwashed by advertisingand mindless sitcoms. We read about children who are dying of starvation as we gobbledown Big Macs and Slurpys from 711. We throw away anything that we cant useanymore. This is the script of humanity that seriously needs some editing right? We donot need to live like this. We don't have to be part of the herd. A lot of people arestarting to want more from the daily humdrum. We aim our lives in a differentdirection. One that takes us off the grid and speaks to us loudly promises of a betterlife. One that's free of routine.


24/55

One that makes us true caretakers of this fragile planet. Change has never seemed soapparent before. The great cattle herder we call the internet has no scruples over fillingour minds full of so much useless bullshit. Its the great block of salt that we find soappealing and everyone wants a lick. Its called routine! So what Im trying to say is thatwe don't need to subscribe to the daily madness that surely will put us in the psychward. We have a choice. Whether or not we make the right choices should be dictatedby our hearts and inner voices.

Nobody can force us to do anything we don't want or desire. We forge ever forward tobe who we are meant to be. We face life's battles with hearts of love and wills of faith.We can be the one dandelion in the great field of flowers. We demand change and ifbeing that ugly duckling is what's required well then So be it! We are unique in aworld that's all the same. Go against the flow. Refuse to drive. Take a bus and let thegovernment know how bad plastic and pollution really is. They know but not enoughpeople take a stand and demand change. And change my friends begins with each ofus. May you Blessed Be

Posted by Willow Raine

MM friends, I don't know about you but I take every sign and every mythseriously. I wouldn't be here today if I didn't. First of all were talking about oar fish.How can they be poor swimmers? Im tired of scientists who try to debunk every myththey hear about. Japans recent disaster shows the myth to be rather true wouldn't yousay? We are not invincible my friends. Nature is full of strange animal behaviors beforeimpending disasters occur. Like birds who all fly away moments before a quake. Lookat all the death that's washed ashore in the past few months.

Its not normal now is it? Might as well blame it on Navy deep sonar testing eh?Nothing in nature occurs without a good reason as any wise witch will tell you.Personally, its better to believe than to not believe. Get your emergency survival kitstogether, go over with your families your in case of an emergency plans. Make sure youhave lots of water stored and available.Its better to be prepared than to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the signs before you.This article was on yahoo this morning...

Two large oarfish, slender snakelike sea creatures, have washed ashore in California inthe last two weeks. While their appearance may conjure thoughts of mythical seaserpents, another legend suggests their death could actually spell disaster. According toJapanese lore and fishermen, the animals have close ties to earthquakes.

If Japanese stories are to be believed, the aquatic giants, which usually live more than3,000 feet below the surface and away from human eyes, come up to the surface andbeach themselves as a prequake warning bell.

Case in point: According to several reports, in the months after an 8.8 magnitude quakein Chile in 2010 and a year before the giant March 2011 tremor that rocked Japan,several oarfish, called Messenger from the Sea God's Palace in Japanese, were eitherbeached or caught near the quakes epicenter off the coast of Hon shu.

While it is rare to see oarfish either dead and alive, Milton Love, marine biologist andauthor of "Certainly More Than You Want to Know About The Fishes of The PacificCoast, says there probably isnt much of a link between the fish and earthquakes.


26/55

These animals most likely didnt die due to seismic activity, he told Yahoo. Lovepoints out that the fish seen leading up to the Japanese quake were not foundimmediately before or after the event, but rather months removed and were likelyunconnected to the catastrophe.

He does believe however that the same event most likely killed both fish that washedashore in California this month. He notes that the animals are poor swimmers and thatsomething as simple as a current carrying them into rough waters could be lethal. Lovesuggests there could even be more dead oarfish lying on the bottom of the ocean off thecoast of California, far from human eyes.

The beaching of oarfish is just the latest in a series of similar incidents over the pastseveral months. Last spring scientists began investigating ill sea lions along the coast ofSouthern California, and across the country on the East Coast the summer was full ofreports of dead dolphins washing ashore.

As for the oarfish, do you believe they could be a warning bell or is it just a harmlessmyth from across the Pacific?

Quantum ConsciousnessPosted by Cynthia G

The unfolding of the mysteries of the universe progresses much quicker duringthese modern times than it did, say, 50 years ago. This is owing much to modern daymedia, TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, books and the internet, which in itself can

move something like ten times the volume of information than the conventional meansall put together.

Today you will note an increasing growth in the interest in spirituality, faith, seeings,sensings, knowings, quantum physics and the metaphysical, more so than there everwas at any given time in prior recorded history. Man has held a fascination, sometimesto the degree of an obsession in learning more about the unknown and what liesbeyond *this* reality. There has been a steady increase of interested people wishing tolearn more about the extraterestrial, paranormal, the spiritual, reincarnation, magic,

fantasy and witchcraft, etc., etc. Groups of people are being formed everywhere calledcults, not to be mistaken with the negative version of occult, just another word todescribe those groups of people who gather wishing to learn about the phenomenon ofspirituality and the supernatural.

One could also include religious beliefs. Any beliefs can be incorporated into learning.Again, if you are looking with an open mind, because all people contain a small pieceof that truth, you can find these words of wisdom among the printed words within thepages of these ancient texts, parchments and scrolls, and again, of course, reading the

words with an open mind and an open heart. The ancient writings can only take you sofar and cannot take you beyond that point. What the books do is give you the key toopen the doors that go beyond earthly knowledge, a key to the quantum phenomena ofreality and creation, but only if you pursue this knowledge and wisdom.

I just think that many of us are born with a higher-evolved consciousness. It is justunfortunate that some of us are cut off, beaten back, or discouraged from pursuingthese knowings, sensings, and seeings. Forced by those around us who persist wefollow their truth, we repress and forget that which is as much part of us as our own

limbs. These knowings may remain dormant for a time, but will never go away. Theywill resurface at some point in later years, when the veil is lifted briefly to reveal aflash of what's has been repressed within. It is possible to cross over if a person reallybelieves and accepts these phenomena in their lives as part of the infinite potentialitiesof universal Oneness of Consciousness.

*The Great Illusion.* Anthropomorphic? Oh yes, definitely, but also as real as you andI. Different realities merging at zero point. *Source.*

Gifts and AbilitiesPosted by Cynthia G

Odd that is how I have noticed by watching some movies and videos there arelittle pieces I recognise from my sensings, seeings, and knowings. Many accumulatedpieces through the past few years that have come to fit together like an ever growinggiant jigsaw puzzle. It makes me wonder if there are other people in the moviebusiness actually in any of the media who were and still are aware of our gifts fromway back right on up to today use these very abilities (subliminally or psychically) inthe media and movie making buisness.

The really odd thing as well is how my partner and I think the same thingsimultaneously, at least 6 to a dozen times in one day. Maybe not so strange though, ifone believes in synchronicity, but then I haven't lived with anyone else for a goodmany years, let alone have someone that is close to me. I mean I knew I had theseseeings and sensings before I ever heard of empaths and other gifted people, but Iknew enough to keep it to myself, after having negative results when ever I did in thepast.

The Inner Voice

How many times have I thought that very thought about, "What if I were to kill theinner self ?" Would I essentially be killing another person that had been so much a partof me for all of my life? Of course, killing her would mean killing my own inner lightthat sustains this shell and eventually killing the physical self as well. One can not killthe inner-self without killing the physical shell as well.

If you could kill the inner-self without killing the shell or the physical self, could youdo it? It would basically be the same as committing suicide. To me, after all those yearsthe inner-self had become like a third person, a friend, a companion who at timesilluminated the path ahead of me. I could not kill her without killing myself eventhough I dispised the outer shell at the time. I was caught between a rock and a hard

place and as I saw it there was no alternative or other way out except to drive my carinto a rock cut that night. *So such it was that I thought and felt at the time*. I did notwant to see things that had happened in the past come back and repeat itself in thefuture anymore.

I was sick of waking up in a sweat soaked bed after a prophetic dream where a friendor family member was about to experience a destructive calamity . Try warning themand they look at you like your just grew a horn in the middle of your forehead.


29/55

Or try to tell or warn people about some prophetic dream you have had about a naturalor man made disaster about to happen. Or how about the night I mentioned abovewhere I came to the realization that I had lived a lie for most of my life, Denying myselfof my own truth. I was not who I had been conditioned to think I was. There was adeeper knowing within that I had not taped into yet. Giving up the booz and all thedetox centers and self help groups I had attended and the Drs. And pills in the worldhad not helped me to see who dwelled within.

And this brings us to that night where I found myself driving down a darkenedhighway with very few other cars about, I was actually looking for a suitable rock cut todrive my car into and end it all. It was like a voice spoke in my mind, the voice of theinner self that spoke to me. It asked me if I truly wanted to do what I was about to do? Iretorted back aloud with some anger and irritation in my physical voice, shattering thesilence in the interior of the car, "What other alternative is there?" Tears rolled downmy cheeks as the voice responded softly, "I will leave you with this thought: who is itthat truly wishes to die here on this night?" The resulting choice? Well, I am still here.

Self-healPosted by bunny

I believe God design our bodies to self-heal, If we cut a our self, the human body willnormally perform in such a way that the blood will stop flowing and the wound,shortly there after will heal.

the self-healing ability of the body and mind, however, appears to have close relation toour level of hope.

when we have no hope for healing, our mind and body react with accordance with ourthoughts and feelings.

when i was 23 yrs old I was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia I was given justsix months to three years to live ,I am in the advance stage of hopelessness i even beenin coma , but that does not stop me to hope and ask god help that everything is possible

prayer and healing that friends send was like a blanket of warmth light of love thathelp me in my healing process to be well again

then a mass appeared latched on to my heart and it was as big as my fist (Hodgkinlymphoma)I brace myself for cycle of chemotherapy and now this October will be mylast chemo I used every weapon available through modern science and the best weaponi know hope, faith and prayer.

would i lived another four years more and join the thousand of cancer survivor? I cannot say , all I know I will survived it all .

love and light

Fertile MindPosted by Cynthia G

From the old belief system it was taught to us from the ancient texts that, for all thingsthere is a season where there is a time to put away childish thoughts. These teachingswere to Condition or impress upon us to believing that real is restricted to what you cansense with the five senses, and exercising the imagination is wrong and childish.

This is not so, "Imagination" is one of our most beautiful gift that can be granted to us,a gift which needs to be cultivate so that we should experience the wonderfulpossibilities, each endless eternities within each fantasy conjured up in thepotentialities that manifests in the mind of a child.

The limitation one places upon their own creativity that only they can open and release,like the dove from its gi lded cage. Allow your mind to "imagine, play, invent, create,experiment" let it fly free with all the possibilities which enter there into the realm ofthe mind.

You will soon find you can fly free, perhaps on the back of a great and mighty dragon,or how about flying solo on your own fairy wings, or perhaps on the back of a wingedunicorn. Your only desire is to live with joy and freedom within the glow of peacefulbeauty which is born of your own mind. A magical wonderland manifested upon thecanvas of your mind like an artist's painting. Allow yourself to touch the child within,enjoy this wonderful gift of imagination that we are all given if we so wish to seek it.

Allow the complexity of the mind to flow free hither and thither where ever your heartmight desires it to go, there is no limits the where you might wish to go in this magicalland that is within you.

Quantum RealitiesPosted by Cynthia G

I have been gifted since I was a little girl, before I could even understand what itwas I was experiencing. But then in my early years I never thought to nor evenattempted to interpret my experiences. I kept them pretty well to myself. I did, howeveraccept them, and enjoyed them. They helped me to learn more about the world aroundme than any amount books they tried to make me learn from. That is not to say thatthere is not much to learn from reading books. I read tons of books.

During my growing up years I learned much and this better enabled me enlightenothers of sufficiently open minds from my personal experiences.

I was and still am to a greater extent like a child who has discovered there is an entireworld for her to play with that is hidden in her closet! It is both exciting and awesomelybeautiful and there are also some very complex lessons to be learned as one moves fromone potential concept to another.

Personal observations

Regarding the phenomena of light and sound and many other energetic vibrationalfrequencies beyond the human perception range of the 5 senses, not to mention otherphenomena that are still not completely accepted by science such as ESP, premonitions,visions, and knowings: The best I can do is to attempt to explain or illustrate theinfinity with limited finite words. I can only say that these visions and visitations couldonly be *extra terrestrial,*in simple English words, meaning *not from this world.*They are experiences that are outside this reality but somehow still remain connected tothis reality.

Individually, science and the quantum physicists are only beginning to feel the tip of

the iceberg. Could you imagine the great leap in knowledge and wisdom that would begained if these great men of scientific research were to join hands and work together onany given project using mathematics, astrophysics, quantum physics and metaphysics,along with the use of high tech computers?

These men and women need to work together in researching not only what can be seen,but also the unseen by extrapolation and the potentialities of the physics of all that isknown in the universe.


34/55

As the unfolding of these secrets of the universe reveal themselves to us, spiritualityfaith, seeing, sensings, knowings, will become a more acceptable part of the humanpotentials. One could also have much to learn from the ancient religious teachings orany other number of ancient beliefs and practices, because all contain a small piece ofthat truth. If one truly wishes to look for them, they will find pieces of that truth withinthe ancient texts. Again, take home what resonates and leave the rest. Of course onewould have to do this research with an open mind to the quantum phenomena of

reality and creation.I just think that some of us are born with this higher-evolved consciousness from otherrealities than most others, There are not hierarchies of awareness. Being an empath,indigo, crystal, octarine, rainbow, or star seed are not ranks of hierarchies, they are onlydifferent stages of the awakening or evolving into the universal consciousness. If youtruly are one of the aforementioned then you should have matured enough in theevolution of the soul to know where the heart of soul is and should be working as oneto light the way for those who would follow our light.

There are brief moments where the veil is lifte to reveal a flash of what's on the otherside of time and space of this reality. It is possible to cross over if a person reallybelieves and accepts these phenomena in their lives as part of the quantum realities ofthe oneness of all things.

So what this means is that the explanation of ones experiences with what is beyond theperception of the five senses is just as valid as any I could give. Everyone has thesegifts. Perhaps this is part of our all being connected by the same source or oneness. But

each individual sees and perceives the same concept but differing in detail and this iswhere the conflict of interests and beliefs will most times occur.

To illustrate a little more clearly, let us say that out of a party of ten people, eachindividual will give you their description of the same flower on display there for all toexamine. Some will have observed a different color, others a different size and yetothers a different amount of petals, etc etc. Information given by different eyewitnesses may not be the most reliable way to get an accurate description of aperpetrator in a police line up. *

The Great Illusion.* Anthropomorphic? Oh yes, definitely, but also as real as you anddifferent realities merging into one. Those with a fully-developed consciousness couldtell you stuff that would surpass the imagination of the best sci-fi writers or Hollywoodmovie producers.

Dreams About Keys Posted by Nancy Anderson

Keys is a sound of power, it can be a person needs, weather the thoughts of Keys

are while you are Awake or Sleeping... Keys stand for power and access... To lose one'skeys in a dream is to be out of control or lack the means of access. It may symbolize thatyou feel unable to acquire what is needed to complete a task or obtain access to personsor knowledge.

To find your own keys is to assert your own power in a given situation. You have theability to be captain of your destiny, so to speak. You can get going, you feel that youhave power and that all things are at your finger tips..Wow! Look I have the keys andnow I can hit the road.

What is most interesting is to find a key that previously had no meaning for you.????This is especially important when the key has no direct use, but feels as if it might beimportant. In a dream like this, you are probably searching for options to identify newpotential within yourself or in relationship to others.

The Keys that you have just found start a new them in your head, "Who lost them?What doors did they fit??

Who was with you when you found the key and with whom did you share thediscovery in your dream? There will be numerous clues in the answers to these twoquestions.

Study of ColorsPosted by Nancy Anderson

I would like to share with you a study of colors that are used by those that readAuras, when intrepertating dreams,

Looking at art work and even clothing a person might be wearing.

Colors will come and go in your thoughts and go rapidly. When emotions is attached toa colors the memory will connect. Many readers that work with viewing the Aura, havenoticed that moods (sadness, hating,revenges) from PAST experiences will remain indim color in the Aura until healing is done...

This information is Awareness of color and may be used in your work in any way yourthoughts are working with color..

Blood Red: vengefulness and jealousy.Bright Red: force and persuasionClear Red: friendly and activeCrimson: sexuality and base passionsDark Red almost black; selfishness and greedDirty Red: lust and sexualityDull Red: selfness.Fiery Red: irritability and anxiety

Light Red: nervousnessMagenta: cheerfulnessRose: pure, unselfish loveRose pink; Joy and HappinessScarlet: uncontrollable emotionTrue Re: ambition and courage.

These are tones and their definition that will help you look closer to the hues of othercolors of.

( ORANGE:emotions) -- (YELLOW:intellect)-- (GREEN: healing and balance) ---BLUE:(variety,loyalty)-- (INDIGO:responsibility)--( VIOLET:spirituality) -- (BLACK malice)

(BROWN:materialism) ---(GOLD: WISDOM:) (Gray-conventionality)(Silver: Idealism--trustworthy--honorable )White is purity.

CompassionPosted by Nancy Anderson

"What really does Compassion Mean."

What does Compassion real mean, do you know? Have you ever examined the word,"Compassion." It's what connects us to others as we try to understand their point ofview, notice their suffering and become sensitive to what they truly need in a momentof difficulty. You must THINK compassion.But do we really understand what "THEY" need. At this stage in my life I do knowmore about compassion than I did a few years ago. I heard the, spirit saying to me once"Don't go, where even, the Angels would not go. " Just let it Be."

So do we Help or do we not, all of that is not what Compassion is about. I don't think it

has to do with "Action and Reaction.

The second thing I have learned for my self, is when the fury, the passion, is erupting,do not add to it. It will come to an end, as "Nothing Last Forever." Then you will be ableto use the WISDOM of Compassion.

"Compassion is the ability to walk in another's shoes. It is not empathy or sympathy,but truly the capacity to see others and their circumstances for what they are," "It is theunderstanding that if we look at another with a spiritual eye, we can ask for the best

path for them to follow without interference or lecture. We must have the strength toallow our loved ones to go through whatever is best for them,"

Compassion clearly is not attempting to "fix" someone, or taking their well-being on asa project, smothering them with sympathy or kindnesses or attempting to buy theirhappiness.

Intrinsic ( OUR OWN EGO) in compassion is the understanding that we may feel the

need to alleviate another's suffering, but we cannot do it for them. Instead, the best wemay be able to do at times may be to just listen or be there with them - even if it's justas an ear at the other end of their phone call. Remember, "Yourself" and at times, yourown life may not be strong enough to alleviate their stress.

( I hope you read this as it took me three days to write it.)

Being One With SourcePosted by Rev. Carol A. Ingle (Raven)

Each breath is an opportunity to align with your source. In our last missive wespoke of the importance of breathing deeply to find the calm within the continuedexercise enabling one to move through any and all experience.

The idea of being one with source is appealing for many. However, most have no trueconcept of what that really means.

Most have been taught that the physical realm is a separation from source. Throughgenerations it is most true that there is an invisible wall separating the two. Perhaps it

would be prudent to reassess the concept: Instead of ascending to a higher plane, letyourself participate with the source within you.

Attempt to draw spiritual energy into your reality. The physical realm could use a goodparticipation with lighter ethereal energy. By acknowledging the "god" within you,instead of beyond, there is hope to evolve the reality to a a better place.

Become one with your source once you reach the calmer place. Extend your hearttowards it. Be assured that the blending of the two will have a spectacular outcome.

Some of you are deeply concerned about the positive continuance of physical reality. Itis indeed "off course". It is through those like yourself that all can be set right again.

Bring source through you whenever possible. It is the ultimate experience for yourselfand the reality.

Many of you have been searching for the meaning of being here. Perhaps this is it.

Look deep within.

Bring source through.

It will take some linear time, however, your source energy can create positive evolution.

Be the facilitator.

Be one with source.

AwakeningPosted by Durl

Last night I had a dream. It was different than an dream I'd had

before. Even after I woke up in the middle of the night. It was

like I was still dreaming. Cause I was still seeing the things

my subconscious mind (mind of the spirit) wanted me to see.

What was so strange about this dream is that everyone I know

was in this dream. And yes..even you.

Here's the dream. You can take if for what it's worth. All I know

is what I saw.

I dreamed I was walking in a big grassy field. The sun was shining

and the wind was blowing just a bit. Suddenly from a distance I see

my soul mate (twin spirit--spirit guide or who ever you believe your

spiritual helper to be) running towards me. I knew who it is was because

I started running towards her too. We embraced and told each other

how much we loved and missed each other. Then she told me she

wanted to take me to a very special place. I said ok. She then

took my hand and instantly we were there. She told me to go

into that room. But I didn't see any room. Then I hear a

commotion behind me and I turn and looked to see what was

going on. And there I saw everyone I knew living or dead. The

look on everyone's face was a look of expectation. There were


40/55

I saw the room she wanted me to go into. So then went into the room.

Now this is where it kinda gets confusing. Once inside I see a

mirror. I looked into the mirror and saw my reflection. Around

my image in the mirror I see names written in gold. I reachedmy hand out to touch one of the names. And when I touched it..

I knew who this person was. I saw everything he had done in his

lifetime. That's when I realized the names in the mirror were mine.

I was seeing my name in every lifetime I had lived. But then

something else happened. The names disappeared and in their

place more names. Names written in silver. The next thing I

knew I was lying in bed. As I lay there I asked my guide what

the other names were. And she said, "Those are your future

names." That's when I woke Cassy up and began to tell herwhat I had seen.

Now I'm sitting here wondering what this was all about. Why was

every one I know in my dream? Is it because they are all a part

of me and I them. Do we meet these same people in different

lifetimes.? Maybe not the same people..but for sure the same

spirits. And yes my friend..I will see you again. Both in this

life and in the next and the next.Princeofdreams

To the DreamerPosted by Durl

To the one who calls himself Dreamer

I'm writing this on February 22, 2004. I know

you have many questions about past lives. You

always suspected you lived before. But you never

had proof. What is written here is for you Dreamer.

I know you see things others don't. And it disturbs

you because they can't see. These are the ones

who call you a dreamer. They say these things are

fantasies born in your heart. But you see...I'm a

dreamer too. And I looked far enough ahead in my cycle of

lives and saw you. To know that one day you would

be reading this. And in so doing...One day you would

come looking for me. If for no reason then to find out

how you got to this point in this lifetime.

I have written many things. But never have I given my

name in what I wrote. I will make that exception in this

this one, "Durl." is my given name.

A question rises in my mind...should I be writing this to

you? The answer comes to me almost instantly. For

Our own personal growth...Yes! As you grow I..even I

continue to grow. Looking back to my previous lives.

I wish just one has the fore thought to leave me a message

in Time. That's why I'm writing this to you now. This

message is not only to you. But it's also a message to

myself. Letting me know I am on the right path for this

lifetime.

As you continue to go deeper within yourself

to learn more of who you are. To you they will seem like

new things. But these things were always within you.

They have been a part of you since time began. The

understanding of these things didn't come till you got

to a certain point in your progression of Life.

Now Dreamer I feel I must close. I hope I have shed somelight on those things you thought no one else could see.

Just remember..I am a part of you. Never never cease to Dream.

To Pursue A Physical Life With SuccPosted by Rev. Carol A. Ingle (Raven)

In the linear it is often the goal to achieve something. The denseness of physicaloften makes that a difficult endeavor.

Listening to one's soulful energy is an opportunity to continue pursuing whilestruggling to be all one can be while living a life.

Of course there are many nuances associated with any linear endeavor: Past lives, pastinteractions, and present insecurities and emotions.

No matter what mix you are currently living, it is important to remember to persist inwhat your soul's intentions are.

Listening clearly above all the chatter and noise is also essential. It takes focusedenergy to pursue a physical life with success. If you are met with failures, pick yourselfup and try again. Often it is not the inadequacy of your soul but the physical densitythat makes it all appear impossible.

Know that your energy is sound.

Know that persistence will ultimately rule the day.

Realize how complex the experience is, and simply do not give up.

You designed the experience with success in mind. You are capable of that success.

Keep going.

Persevere without complaint. Use that energy to complete the task.

Keep going.

All that know your energy and who have known it are supporting you.

Keep going.

Lets Get Crafty .........Scrying With Water ,Smoke And Fla

Posted by Harobed

The definition of scry is "to make out dimly" or "to reveal."Scrying is a time honored means of divination used by the ancient Celts, probablyacquired knowledge via early Germanic invasions.Legend holds that Druids scryedusing water as did the Egyptians.

A lot of people will tell you that you will need scrying mirrors ,crystals , sacred vesseland rituals to scry. That may very well hold true for them. But these are onlymetaphysical aids to help you focus at the task at hand.Once mastered you can scry inmany different ways without anything than your minds eye and something to focus on.

This time Im talking to you about the three oldest and in my opinion, easiest ways tolearn to scry.

So lets start with Hydromancy . (just a big word for scrying with water)

Hydromancy is the practice of using properties of the water to divine........ it's color, theebb and flow of the tides, ripples produced by the breeze or pebbles dropped in a poolare all used to divine images. This is truly a test of focus and your ability to clear yourmind and allow the water to "show you the vision". Pisces are particularly good atHydomancy as are the other water signs !This for most , is truly the easiest of ways tolearn to scry . The flow of the water lulls your mind into a suspension similar to whenyou were still in the womb , granting you easier access to your third eye.

And when it comes to practice spending some time gazing at the water while yourmind drifts is hardly tedious!

Having said that ,being a Hedge Witch my herbs always come into play no matter thespell. So lets start .....

Most of you already know that Mugwort is a wonderful herb for divination.Mugwortcan be used in many forms including a lovely tea. But this time Ive brewed a potion toscry into.

******Please bear in mind this is toxic and is not to drink ! ********

First off any water will do...However the very best water for this type of spell is what Icall "live water" ,water harvested from nature ,rain ,ocean, spring or stump water.

I generally use either stump water Ive collected or rain .In times of drought I'll pop

down to the river and nab some river water.

This time I used stump water from an old rotten Elm. Mugwort was the first of myherbs to be tossed into the pot. Next came a bit of Polk Root ,some ground bark from agraveyard Oak ,a piece of Hemp twine and some snake skin.Last of all into my potwent some Yarrow and a slice of fresh Iris root.Now is a great time for me to make thismix because its time to divide my Iris so I had some already dug. Once everything wasin I set my cauldron over hot charcoal and left it to cook .Its done when my brew hasturned black.Once cooled it will have a surface that's shiny and opaque as pictured

above. At this point you can ladle some into your preferred container or do as I do andscry into the cauldron.

Before attempting to scry for the first time anything "legal " that will induce a state ofaltered awareness should be done. *****Please no fake pot that stuff turns your head tojelly and you end up eating faces.Dont be a face eating zombie! *****Nor does thismean its time to get your drunk on!

For beginners I recommend trying dim lighting ,incense (your choice),candles and somenice meditation music or soft Jazz. All or any of these will help you relax and allowyour mind to drift as your inner eye opens.If you are trying to divine future events youhave to keep your mind a blank ,gaze into the pot and allow the images to emerge .Youmay perceive a mist form before images surface or you may just have them pop out atyou clear as a bell.Pay attention to what you are seeing ,they may seem random and theimages will sometimes come in symbolic form.

Scrying is a deeply personal experience and each person will scry differently.After I amdone scrying ,I'll strain my "pot juice" and bottle it. I get 3-4 quarts from my littlecauldron and I use it for various witchy chores that pertain to divination.For instance Isoak wand wood and crystals in it ,reuse it for scrying at a later date or have a bit forfriends in need. The dregs I bury so they are returned to the earth and not laying out fora furbaby to get into.

Flame gazing or Lychnomancy is the practice of scrying using flame ,a candle , fire orthe light of an oil lamp.This practice is also called by some Lamp gazing and ispracticed quite a bit in amongst the Mountain families in West Virginia and Kentucky.Any form of scrying works the same way, it always comes down to the same threebasics , focus ,the ability to clear your mind and practice.When flame gazing yourimages will appear in the flame, or close to the flames providing you messages andguidance. The picture above is of a flame I created with Sage ,Willow ,Hydrangea ,Mugwort and Wild Cherry.


49/55

I was peering into a health matter for someone hence the fire was built with Willow &Sage for healing. Mugwort and Cherry for divination and Hydrangea to invokemagic.Samhain is the perfect day for divination of this sort because most witches thatcan have a fire have one.Its also a wonderful winter "crafting " to practice if you have afireplace. After all an evening peacefully gazing into your crackling fire as winterhowls outside is not a hardship !

This brings me to one of my personal favorites scrying with smoke. Some form ofsmoke scrying has been used by Native Americans ,tribes in Africa ,Voo Doopractitioners and Witches since the dawn of time . It is the practice of watching therising smoke from a flame and divining images held within the smoke stream. nowthere's a good reason that I love this one so much.I'm really good at it and its one of thefew "spells" that you can capture on film working.I have captured amazing images

when doing this.

A good camera can preserve images of the divination for you future reference far betterthan notes .However I don't recommend using one from the very beginning . You needto learn to scry with as few aids as possible.But once you have done so ,bring yourcamera into your circle and take a few shots .I think you'll find as I have that the magicis there for all to see.The picture above was taken while I was smudging a divinationwand with Snake's blood / Polk berry oil ,look and you will clearly see the face risingin the smoke.This was present in all the pics snapped that evening.

The last picture was taken when I fired up my cauldron to send my best friend'sMomma safely through the veil. She had been ill for 3 years and in a coma for severaldays.The purpose to this cauldron wasn't really divination it was to ease her way .Asmy cauldron smoldered and gave up we got the call she was gone.A week later I finallypulled the pictures taken that day off of my camera. There I saw my proof that she wasescorted safely beyond my realm .I wonder if any of will see what I did.

Elm - Elm is a feminine energy and relative to both the elements Earth and Air. It addsgrounding and focus to any spell working. I use it a lot when working spells thatinvolve horticulture, passage thru death, rebirth, or the invocation of the Goddess. Iincluded Elm in this list because I used Elm stump water for the base liquid in my

scrying pot .Know your adjuncts ..... you have to consider the aspects of everythingadded in a spell.

Oak - Oak has a strong masculine energy and is alined with Earth ,Water and Spirit.Inall spells unless they are for a specific gender to need to balance the male/female aspect.Oak is my choice in this matter. It centers your mind, permitting you to ignoredistractions and focus on your task at hand.Oak promotes observation andintuition.Both of which are important components to successful scrying.

Willow - Willow is to me ,is the most feminine of trees.She brings to your spells astrong alignment to both water and spirit .willow deals with death ,rebirth and easingthe souls of those recently passed. It strenghtens the third eye , promotes spells ofhealing and will align itself to your inner will.

All of the remaining adjuncts are an even mix of male/female and bring to spellsstrong properties of divination ,protection and invokcation of magic ...............

Hemp, Hydangea, Yarrow, Mugwort, Polk Berry, Iris

I used the Snake Skin /blood for its properties of transmutation

How to Make Pagan Prayer BeadsPosted by Charlene 'White Deer' Heathwood

by Danielle Dyer

A set of Pagan Prayer Beads is similar to a Rosary (indeed, in some circles they areknown as the Witch's Rosary) . This project is perfect for customization. I will give youa set pattern. Feel free to follow or create your own! Likewise, I will give you a setprayers for each bead, but I will also include variations. As always, your spiritualpractices are as unique as you are. Take what suits you from the following guidelines,but please make this your Own set of Prayer Beads.Creating Your Own Witch's Rosary

A set of Prayer Beads created to remind oneself of the forest. It has nine sets (3 x 3,number of the Divine Mother) of three beads for the Maiden, Mother and Crone andeight single beads in between the Goddess sets for Earth prayers.

Purchase a thin leather cord; a set of green, dark green and amber beads; a set ofvarying sized wooden beads and small silver beads for spacers.

When stringing the beads, keep this pattern in mind:

Three spacersEarth bead (soft green bead)Three spacersAmber beadDark green beadSmall wooden beadLarge wooden beadSmall wooden beadDark green beadAmber beadThreee spacersEarth Bead, etc.

Some variations might include a simple large bead in place of the Goddess sets ofthree, or, even simpler, alternating different color beads. When you think of a patternyou like, write it down before you begin. It always helps to have a simple chart to work

with to start.


52/55

Depending on which deities you invoke, the colors will change. For example, if youworship Brigid, your set of Prayer Beads would probably be made up of red, gold andwhite. If you worship Diana, you would use blue and silver. But please don't getcarried away with "traditional" color meanings. The colors themselves have deepermagical meanings, so choose your colors with intuition and heart.

Once you have your pattern and beads chosen, string the beads onto the cord. As youplace each bead onto the cord, say something that binds it to you.

A good chant to keep up the rhythm of stringing is, "Goddess come and bless this art,merry meet and merry part."

Once the pattern and desired number of beads is strung, it's time to knot the cord. Bringboth loose ends together and tie a knot, double-knot it and triple-knot it, saying thechant firmly and with conviction for the final three times. Your set Prayer Beads isready to be consecrated.

Do or Do not. There is no Posted by Willow Raine

Do, or do not. There is no "try" -- Yoda, in The Empire Strikes BackTrying is what we do when we aren't willing to make a commitment. Wesay, "I'll try," when our heart isn't ready to give a full effort. It's what we saywhen we can't admit that our resolve is wimpy. And it's the lie that willdefeat us.

Some challenges we face can't be conquered simply by saying, "I will do it."

But we can choose to do something that will help. We can't move themountain but we can pick up some rocks. We can engage with the problemand get to know it better. Every action we take leads somewhere and sets usup for the next action. We even learn from our mistakes and that moves uscloser to achieving our goal.

Today I will not just "try"; I will do something to move toward my goal.
