The Light of Hope

B

Endless dark - or so it seems,

life is shattered, with all our dreamsof joy and hope, the fading light,

and darkness, darkness for all in sight.

No words can speak of pain that's borne,or fears unfounded, the sharpest thorn,

deserted mind, with heart and soul,the wish of death, the bell will toll.

A mind of riddles, flesh we scorn,and hope for day, the light of dawn.The night is long, the darkness set,

the hope of morn, existing yet?

But morn will be, and dark will fade,the light of hope, the desert shade,

the winter's comfort, summer's breeze,as blooms of spring, the sun appears,

a welcome friend, the silence broke,my soul returns, my demons choke,

faith and hope I once more find,in shadows of my heart and mind.

Reason warped by darkness' might,arights in friendship's glorious light,

survival comes from God's own power,endurance through my darkest hour.

Witching your Home

Posted by Rev. Carol A. Ingle (Raven)

y Tirgereh

Hang a set of chimes outside your door or a bell. Ringing bells and chimes are said to ward off and dismisegative energies. (Which is why we do so at the end of rituals, in some traditions) This will also dismiss a

mischievous fairies, I'm told!

lace an upright (bristles up) broom near the entry to your home. Any spirits intent on harm will have to hrough the bristles in order to get to you and yours.

lace a bowl of magnetic oil charged water in your room to soak up the negativity. Float candles in it to ma little less obvious and use black stones or black glass marbles to purify.

lace a witch's bottle filled with tacks, broken glass and ceramic, etc. Behind your door where nobody caneally see it. You can use a ceramic or colored glass bottle to make it less conspicuous.

lace amethyst near your door, or use something decorative with a bit of amethyst on it. Hanging anmethyst ring or cluster on a wreath or similar seasonal item makes your home more festive and helps kehings focused and clear for you, as well.

lace a small guardian totem such as a dragon or gargoyle and explain its duties. People will just think yoke statues of animals, usually.

ou can inscribe a rune of protection into your doorway, or place a rune somewhere behind something, ifou want to be secretive. Talismans such as the SATOR Square work well for this.

lace a dream catcher in your window to catch bad dreams before they come to you. Also try a broom unour bed, if you can't find a dream catcher. An athame placed between your mattresses will 'cut' the tiesetween yourself and old, bad dreams so they cannot come again.

you can, buy a small goldfish bowl and a small fish. Fish are lucky in Asian mythology and bring wishean never hurt to pamper a small animal for good karma!

lace a small element altar (make sure to use weather proof items) outside; a bowl to collect rain water forirds, a chime to catch the breeze, a bird feeder and a candle to light in the evenings. (Catholic candles wo

well for this). An outdoor god or goddess statue will complete your altar.

Never allow a mirror to face or reflect a doorway or window. If yours does, move it if possible. If you canmove it, use a SATOR square or similar protective talisman. Mirrors are doorways and should not be take

ghtly in a witch's room.

Although hardly complete, these ideas should get you all started!

Colors and Crystal in Taro


olors and Crystal in Tarot

ach Tarot card is a treasure chest for our intuition. The meanings of colors in Tarot cards ser

s the rubies, emeralds, and sapphires that sparkle with clarity in our Tarot readings. Just likeumber meanings of the Tarot, meanings of colors in the cards bring a fresh new perspective our spreads.

ven the earliest Tarot decks, such as the Tarot of Marseilles, were very brightly colored. Thiso accident. Bright colors are known to trigger our psyche, and engage our intuitive minds.

he use of colors in Tarot decks is ingenious - it activates our creativity and allows our spirits lay with the energies surrounding our readings.

Knowing the meanings of colors will allow you to delve deeper into the knowledge the Tarotolds. It will also enrich your understanding of the Tarot as well as your respect for the craft o

nterpretation, as you play with the meanings of colors in the Tarot, feel free to consult the colomeanings chart below as a loose reference.

ed: Think fire and blood - Red rushes to us with messages of passion, primal urges, action,leasure, vibrance, radiance, and love.

Orange: A nice subdued blend between the aggressive red and the high-pitch of yellow - Oran

about harmony, aspiration, sociability, contentment, and intelligence.

ellow: Worshipped in the form of the sun - Yellow is all about radiating creativity, protectionntellect, positivity and clarity.

Green: The fresh start of spring brings oceans of Green and with it comes attributes of youth,entimentality, nature, adventure, growth and health.

lue: Look to the sky for the meanings of Blue - open spaces, freedom, imagination,xpansiveness, inspiration, and sensitivity.

ndigo: Similar to the attributes of blue, but Indigo's energy runs very deep - consider thenknown depths of the sea along with emotion, strength, fluidity, persuasiveness, expressivenend pervasiveness.

iolet: The hue of fragile flowers and sleepy sunsets, Violet reminds us of spirituality,ommunion, grandeur, high-ideals, devotion, and peace

rown: Anybody who has squished their toes through the rich moist earth has got Brown dow

roundedness, earthiness, tangible, practical, stable, nurturing, and solid.


10/50

Gray: When fog rolls in and we're surrounded with the haze of Gray we understand its messagf - uncertainty, neutrality, mystery, intensity, and austerity.

lack: Black is required for all other colors to have depth and variation of hue - it's a forcefuleature and represents formality, dignity, force, convention, stability, and zero-tolerance.

White: Contemplate the brilliance of a new white snow and how it pulls a blanket of peace ove

verthing it touches - White stands for peace, cleansing, illumination, purity, innocence and thighest kind of understanding.

arot and crystal meanings make a natural partnership. Both Tarot and crystal hold enormouower and both embody deeper meanings that coax our imaginations out of hiding.

he word crystal comes from the Greek word krystallos which means icy and cold. The ancienGreeks imagined the crystal rocks to be frozen in time - never to thaw their beauty capturn eternity.

he Greeks had it right. Crystals are a timeless expression of brilliance - and they brighten ousyche as we lay both our physical and spiritual eyes upon them.

ust like the Tarot, crystal meanings (and crystals themselves) are multi-faceted. For each cardnd stone there are several facets and meanings to each. As we submerge ourselves into thearious meanings we come into a unified field of understanding - a total impression of the granicture.

earning the crystal meanings that correspond with the Tarot gives us a profound edge in our

eadings. As if we were viewing the cards through our own crystal spectacles - we see a rainbof possibilities when we incorporate the stones with our cards.

nfold yourself into the labyrinth of crystal meanings and their Tarot counterparts. You'll finour intuitive vision will become "crystal clear" with new perspectives.

Onion facts for thecold season and warning

Posted by Stargaze

I Found this article and had to share it with everyone here in the Enchanted Forest. I dmy own experiment with the onion and it does work. I was amazed so i am sharing this with mamily here in the forest.

n 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmeo see if he could help them combat the flu...

Many of the farmers and their families had contracted it and many died.

The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When toctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placednpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then). Theoctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the

microscope. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. Itbviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy.

Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser. She said that several years ago, many of hermployees were coming down with the flu, and so were many of her customers. The next year laced several bowls with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick

must work. Try it and see what happens. We did it last year and we never got the flu.

Now there is a P. S. to this for I sent it to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes materiame on health issues. She replied with this most interesting experience about onions:

Thanks for the reminder. I don't know about the farmer's story...but, I do know that I contactneumonia, and, needless to say, I was very ill... I came across an article that said to cut both eff an onion put it into an empty jar, and place the jar next to the sick patient at night. It said

nion would be black in the morning from the germs...sure enough it happened just like that...nion was a mess and I began to feel better.

Another thing I read in the article was that onions and garlic placed around the room savedmany from the black plague years ago. They have powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties

This is the other note. Lots of times when we have stomach problems we don't know what tolame. Maybe it's the onions that are to blame. Onions absorb bacteria is the reason they are sood at preventing us from getting colds and flu and is the very reason we shouldn't eat an onihat has been sitting for a time after it has been cut open

LEFT OVER ONIONS ARE POISONOUS

had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, Makers of mayonnaise.Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist

Ed, who was our tour guide, is a food chemistry whiz. During the tour, someone asked if we reeeded to worry about mayonnaise. People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil. Ed'nswer will surprise you. Ed said that all commercially-made mayo is completely safe.

It doesn't even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it, but it's not reallyecessary." He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could noturvive in that environment. He then talked about the summer picnic, with the bowl of potatoalad sitting on the table, and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick.

Ed says that, when food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is when thevictim' last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?). Ed says it'ot the mayonnaise (as long as it's not homemade mayo) that spoils in the outdoors. It's probahe ONIONS, and if not the onions, it's the POTATOES.

He explained onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions. You shouldever plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion.. He says it's not even safe if you put it in a zip-loag and put it in your refrigerator.

He explained onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions. You shouldever plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion.. He says it's not even safe if you put it in a zip-loag and put it in your refrigerator.

Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions.

lease remember it is dangerous to cut an onion and try to use it to cook the next day, it becomighly poisonous for even a single night and creates toxic bacteria which may cause adversetomach infections because of excess bile secretions and even food poisoning.

lease pass this on to all you love and care about.

Control

Posted by Willow Raine

I know when I look at my life,that I have tried to control too many situations

so they will turn out the way I think is best .

And I know now that so often when I have done thisI end up unhappy , frusterated, and unfulfilled

not knowing why at the timeThis is a pattern I have followed all my lifeOne that doesnt seem to be working for me

now that Im aware of how fruitless it isto attempt to control things that just cant be controlled.

I didnt know that by "letting go" and having more faith- that

things would always turn out for the best-That I would free myself from a never ending cycle and controlfrustration, and disappointment. I didnt realize that its

not always possible for me to know how things should go in orderfor the greater good to occur

And I didnt know that by having a little patienceI would be demonstrating faith in the Divine plan

If I have shown less than faithin something greater than myself throughout my life

I know better now, and I want to beginto live the faith Ive always heard aboutand even thought I had but didnt really

I know that letting go of my need to judge and controlthings in my life is a process, and I dont expect to

be able to do it overnight.But it does represent a new way of seeing how life

can work when you BELIEVE that you do not always

know what the best outcome will beI make the commitment now to beginto find my way down that path of trust

in a wisdom greater than my own could ever be.

I can begin now to see everything in my lifewith new eyes. - to see every situation I encounter

as a lesson and every person i encounter as a teacherIn this way I will open my eyes to a more loving

positive and exciting way of living


15/50

one that is infused with the wonder of not knowingbecause that is where the true mystery of life is

and it requires my willingness to justlet it be a mystery.

I know that as I continue to seemy life as a series of lessons

I will feel less and less need toset an agenda of my own,

and Instead can begin to step asidea little in order to allow my life

to unfold naturally

I am ready to begin to trustin this process and I know it is a way which wil;l bring miracles

into my life in the form of a deeper understandingof who I really am, why I am here, and how inter connected

I am with all living beings.

I am ready now to be open to all new situationsto not fight against anything just because I am afraid

it might be a bad or negative or even painfulI am willing to be open to the possibility that my

greatest joy may lie waiting for me just around the cornerandf it may be disguised in one such seemingly negative experience.

I am open now to the possibility at least,this is so and that I may not really bein a position to judge such things

I open my mind and my heart to the Spirit within meand around me that DOES , sometimes mysteriously ,

always know what is ultimately the best for me

I acknowledge that I may sometimes only seehow necessary a situation was for my happiness

and personal growth after it has occured.That I may need to experience what at the time

feels painful or difficult or against my own judgementin order to learn the lesson that only later

will I recognize as a loving spiritualstep in the direction of greater joy

and self-realization for me in this life


16/50

And I know that as these life lessons unfoldmore and more naturally for me

because I allow them to, I will begin toaccept myself, my life, and others in

a more profound way and I will have so much more richness in my lifeto share that i will begin to actually SEEK OUT experiences

which before I might have avoided

I understand that life is no more or no less than a series of lessonsAnd I play the role of student who is here only to learn

and then pass that learning on to othersin a gentle non- judgemental way.

And that the purpose underlying all the lessonsI seem to be learning is just this...

To grow in wisdom and to learn to lovemyself and others better.

That was all that was ever expected from me

That is WHY I am here.

MermaidsPosted by Blazing Eagletree

he roots of mermaid mythology are more varied than one would expect. In modern myth weend to see mermaids in a singular way - kind and benevolent to humans who keep to their owind in the deep waters of the ocean. Not all stories go this way, though, and in most cases the

most ancient tales of mermaid mythology follow quite a different view.

he earliest known mermaid legends come from Syria around 1000 B.C. where the Syrianoddess Atargatis dove into a lake to take the form of a fish, but the powers there would not aler give up her great beauty, so only her bottom half became a fish and she kept her top half iuman form.

As myths tend to do, the story changed over time and Atargatis became mixed with Syrianoddess Ashtarte, who is generally considered the counterpart to Greek mythology's Aphrodithough Aphrodite is rarely portrayed in mermaid form, this evolution of mermaid mythology

what led to Aphrodite's role in the mythology of Pisces, which clearly has roots in Syrian

mythology.


19/50

Later tales in the mythology of mermaids stem from Homer's epic "The Odyssey", wh

ome mythologists believe the Sirens to have been in mermaid form. This was an extremelyopular version of the mermaid throughout history. Many popular tales including legends fromhe British Isles and the famous Arabian Nights tales identify mermaids in exactly this fashionhese myths, mermaids would sing to men on ships or shores nearby, practically hypnotizinghem with their beauty and song. Those affected would rush out to sea only to be either drown

aten, or otherwise sent to their doom.

he evil-intentioned mermaid is not the only way these creatures were seen as dangerous. Somelieved that even well-intentioned mermaids would cause great danger to men who believed taw a woman drowning and would dive into the waters to save them. Other tales suggest that

mermaids either forgot or didn't understand that humans could not breathe underwater, andhey would pull them down into the depths of the sea, accidentally drowning them in the proce

n the modern mythology of mermaids, however, this is rarely the case. Today these beings aremore likely to be seen as innocent and sweet, if not helpful in many cases to human kind. Much

he modern interpretation of mermaids can be credited to the most famous tale in all of mermmythology - Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid" and the subsequent Disney mo

f the same name.

his famous tale was likely the introduction of the mermaid to many children and adults alikewhich makes it no surprise that people tend to stick with that version of this widely recognizedreature. Not that Mr. Andersen was alone in this interpretation. Many cultures believed thathese beings were immortal and had powers ranging from the ability to cure disease to grantin

wishes to being able to share their immortality.

ucky or unlucky, it is interesting that the mythology of mermaids seems to stretch worldwideuropean countries tended to have a more negative view of the creatures but many countries i

he Pacific Isles see them as signs of good fortune or better. In Warsaw, Poland the mermaid ishe symbol of the city and tales of mermaids have come everywhere from central Africa to

Canada to Israel. That's a whole lot of places for a creature that isn't supposed to exist.

Were the Mayans right?

Posted by Foxxy

Now that winter solstice 2012 is past, and the fear-mongering hype has been largely puest, I have to wonder if the Mayan prophecy wasn't right after all. We are a few days, into th3th Bactun. The change was never intended to be a dooms day, any more than the change o

millennia has been. Its a major maker in time - larger than 'time ' as we've been raised to thif it, until science became "the other religion' of many. Millennial fears were proven to benjustified, 13 years ago, with the exception of installing a 'patch' as programmers' call arogramming glitch repair, to not drive our computers crazy when the dates changed from th900s to the 2000s.

In retrospect, it is hardly inexplicable that early programmers failed to think ahead to hange in dates. At mid-century those doing computer programming had not likely even been

orn prior to the previous century change. Similarly, until the change 13 years ago, few foundecessary to 'announce' the century numbers when referring to dates, IF someone sand '43, i

was presumed to be 1943, to which they referred. If they meant a previous '43, the centuryumber was generally included.

Why? Probably because we're human. We tend to think of time as it relates to our liveUntil one is 4-7 years of age, calendar dates are largely meaningless. 'The past' in kids' terms,

ften means before they were born: the future is a blurry concept at best. To a toddleromarrow is a hard concept to master, 'next week'virtually impossible. 'Next month' takes faronger to understand. 'Next year' is essentially meaningless until calendar dating - such as oneext birth date - becomes comprehensible.

This seems to be so prevalent that dire warnings of flooded coastal cities in the 20s iseyond the comprehension of 'government.' They don't seem to realize that its less than a decway, and planning should have been started long since to begin to address what 'science' is

warning. Sandy -hopefully- put that issue in more perspective, just as Katrina did for theouthern coast seven years before. It seems the only place 'long range thinking takes place is pace programs and the military. Then again, many in government, like me, were born mid-entury when 2020 seemed like a science fiction dream. not an increasingly pending reality.

Somehow the Mayans acquired a much longer view of time. They see the beginning ofew bactun as far more similar to humanitys birthday. Even their bactun's had a lager time

measurement - ages. During the first age Mankind was becoming human, mastering fire, etc.Modern scientists might refer to this as the stone age. During the second age of bactun's

mankind learned to live in communities, During the third the Mayans and the rest of the worlaw the development of nations,. Now we are embarking on the 4th age, which is we have beenold, just another step in our universal evolution.


22/50

However they came to acquire their unique dating system, it seems to have proven

pplicable even in 'modern' times If we look at each bactun as a birthday, and correlate it tomajority of cultures outlook on the 'ages' of children, we can find a striking similarity,

heoretically, and I believe, in reality.

Most cultures recognize a change in life status around age 13. Jews celebrate Bar or Ba

Mitzvah, Christian children are either baptized or confirmed into adult religious responsibilitagans too have adult-ship rituals, Maidening for girls (misnomer since that's the 'age' they areaving) and comparable rights for boys. Indigenous peoples tended to tie these events toersonal 'triumphs:' onset of menses, and first major kill respectively. Then too, before the usormones in our food supply, puberty came later.

There is no doubt that prepubescent children have issues within their societies, They'reecoming expected to think and behave like adults, but do not yet have the recognition of beindult. This often leads to verbal and sometimes physical battles, within the household and withe society. Yet once that adult-hood status is conferred, young men and women are supposed

ay and do what is expected of the adult - for the good of the group, not for their own self-benet's an always difficult, and some times drastic, change of perspective - one that takes time tomplement.

By the Mayan calendar, if humanity is becoming 'thirteen years old' it's time for us torow up as well. The Mayan prophecy for this 'age' (in both senses) is for a more collective anpiritual outlook for humanity. Ironic? Im not sure. Can we accomplish this without destroy

urselves and our planet - Goddess grant!

Personally, I see signs of it already.

Sept 11, 2001 caused shock waves around the world, not just in the US. Few countries ot loose someone, due to the international flavor of businesses occupying the twin towers. Muf the world suffered with us.

Katrina hits the southern coast and people all over the country open up their hearts anomes to the survivors, two or four legged. A rock concert is instituted to help raise money forhe victims. Movie stars start foundations to rebuild communities.

he Dec 26 Tsunami kills thousands, and impacts the entire Pacific coast to some degree. Aidours in, helping feed and shelter the cut off; Medical help arrives to treat thousands injured;rganizations help reunite survivors, and identify the dead.

The South American mining disaster and help, both physical and prayerful, comes fromll over the world to find a way to extricate the trapped miners. The world rejoices when it isccomplished.

Haiti is almost leveled by an earthquake: International aid pours in, in money, supplies and m

ower. School children start drives for clothing and medical supplies, Churches deliver goodnd services. Years later, and theyre still rebuilding.

Earthquake Rocks China, and even that self-isolated country allows internationalssistance to cope with the disaster.

National then internataional banking goes sideways. We rapidly dropped into recessionhe effects of this slippage is ongoing and global. Wasn't just the US that suffered, it just starere.

Deepwater Horizon blows up, killing men and animals alike, and threatening our entireouthern coast. Thousands donate hair to build booms to protect wet lands. Thousands moreour in to try to save wildlife caught in the disaster. People choose to go to the coast foracations, to help those whose businesses were devastated. The southern rivalry for that tourisrade becomes a collective invitation.

A nine year old girl asks as her birthday presents for cases of water to help an Africanillage, Her untimely death makes it national news. And the water still flows to Africa.

The Japanese earthquake draws another international effort to help find victims, re-ouse, feed, and restore survivors to some semblance of normalcy. Identifiable items are stilleing returned to Japan as they wash onto our western shores.

Arab spring sweeps through the Mediterraneans southern coast. Despite the distance,nd theological differences, we cheer on the reformers and ache at those that died fighting for

heir own freedom.

Tornadoes rip through the mid west, south and east. FEMA responds, Churchesespond. Grade school kids start benefit drives. High school and college students take time offo physically work towards the recovery.

hen there's Sandy: FEMA responds, far more quickly this time. Neighbors help neighbors.trangers open hearts, homes and wallets again. Rescue and repair crews descend on the area

he biggest international Rock concert ever pulls in millions for Sandy relief and recovery. Totrangers pick families, and arrive bearing "Christmas" from trees to presents. School kidsonate school supplies, These stories are still developing and still being told.

andy Hook put the nation in mourning, but may also make permanent changes in our societyiving those 27 deaths their due meaning.


24/50

Here in Columbus, a 10 month old boy who has never left the hospital due to medical issues, haeceived so many ornaments for his Christmas tree, there's no room to place the ones that comn daily from all over the world.

A toys for tots drive, raised $25K in cash and gift cards, plus 1.5 semi truck loads ofresents in just 6 hours;

Food pantries are over flowing, despite the 30% increase in need in the past year;

Semi loads of donations gathered by schools, churches, and other groups are still headeo Sandy victims.

Yesterday a football hero donated dozens of suits to returning GI's to help them put theest foot forward at job interviews, This idea is already spreading.

We are one world, despite our national or ideological boundaries, our theological orolitical differences, Thanks in part to the internet, we are far more connected than ever. Wenow and can see the devastation Mother Earth inflicts on others, and can help with the click

mouse. We can see the political repression of a group with which we have no direct connectionnd act to change it. WE can see a need and start a drive to fill it.

It seems to me humanity is finally growing up, beginning to think outside its ownersonal and local interests. We're beginning to reach out to help those in need, even if it mea

we sacrifice something we want. We are learning that giving feels better than having.

Maybe the Mayans were right: It is the beginning of a new age after all.

Shadow message to Lightworkers of the WorldPosted by haw

It seems to me that there were many Lightworkers who I have seen throughout the net thwere upset that the Earth wasnt destroyed so they could Leave this planet ..Jump on ships andake off ..

As Lightworkers we were here to help spread positive energy through out the World and for teople and animals and Nature of this world..ome were only required to spread their energies which were givin to them to share with all thame around them..nothing moreSome of Us radiate Energy that can turn a negative event int

more positive environment if we recognize that and utilize it..

am seeing notes here and there about how dissappointed some were that Earth wasnt destroynd felt let down..I will tell you who feels let down is other Lightworkers who have spent allot me trying to spread positive energy.vibrations while others wish ill will for total destruction s

hey can escape their reality..

would like to be the first to say no Thank you..dont need your help in thatdidnt come or or am here to just leave..

As long as I am here I am going to do the best I can do and help in anyway I can.why leave this planet with Litttle of something to show for your efforts in this journey..

understand some can become over whelmed but there is a matter of control and Balance andecause one has not followed through with a routine of protecting themselves..they are ready t

ive up and wish and give energy to something of major disaster and hope that ships come gethem..I am highly dissappointed in this path the most.. our job is too share that great energy a

Universal knowledge and wisdom that comes to us from afar our creators who guide us and les..Too many doubt themselves or allow clutter in their minds or life to distract then thusoubting their own intuition on things.because it may not seem of the NORM..

Universe does not know the NORM that we grew up to know and been fed too us by Earthlymeans..We all have the gifts too see through any veil if we choose to and not doubt ourselves..

nd you must have Trust within yourself ..your gifts and the Universal powers that gave them ou..There are many who have been out here trying to spread a positive message too all too keeople in harmony and peace ..We work hard to keep things positive and promote progression

while so many others wish ill will on us all for their own selfish needs and wants.

f your are not here to help or want to help or use means of spreading positive energy too all h

n this Planet then why call yourself a lightwoker unless your truly not and are something else

nfiltrated in this cause..


26/50

We follow strict laws on the thin line on what we can do and how we progress another.But in ahat we keep our presence dont let anything detour that.Give yourself the power too not be

minipulated or swayed from what you know and believe..will be many who dont understand oifts or our sight beyond the NORM veil..Is many here not even of this path with the gifts of sind see and work around that.but protect themselves and ground and keep balance.

have a feeling there were allot of Lightworkers who been looking for the last 20 years too eschis beutiful planet because they cant deal with the drama or agro of Earthly density andnergies..ut you wouldnt be here if you didnt have the gift or the ability to help it or the enviromentround you..or unless your just lazy and dont care even if you knew you had gifts..hat is a gift givin to you to use if you deny it be on you and all around in which you denyhem..thats ok is enough of us left with gifts that we will do what we can even with the lack ofhose around of us..

t is said one person can make a change and we have hundreds.. but yet many just want too sit

fence and wait for ships while things are going on in this planet that could use positive thougnd energies sent to it..So over all is your choice in what you do and how you utilize your giftsBut dont ever wish ill will on another being selfish or your own good and sake..

That is like wishing bad on others ..and if they dont deserve it it will come back on you as withKarma.. and if you dont believe in Karma.. I can say you get what you put out back..you put o

nger on someone they will give it right back..you give someone Love and peace they will give ack ..unless they have their own deep seeded issues ..and that is not our problem to deal withore they are probably dealing with a karma of a past time..and is not upto us too figure thatut..unless they ask for past life regression by someone who is knowledgable in this feild.

have been doing all I can to show and guide folks..I dont have to be all fluffy too do thatdont pretend to be airy fairy about it or make promises for you when I dont know what youruided path is..it is not upto me too change that would be violating Laws of allowance to thoses why I can make suggestions but is upto you to Utilize.. If it seems right then so be it..ome times we can give another a clue through our guides to another..nd if it makes sense then so be it..Message received..ut I suggest highly that if you go calling yourself a Lightworker and going to be apart of thisath..you do what you were givin the ability to do..

nd utilize that when and however you can..will make it much easier on everybody and thenergy will be rightfully shared in places of need..This whole time for those who wished to leavvacate their duty as lightworker have tried too take that positive intent away from us..but tha

will never happen..Just stay out of my way when you decide to sit on a fence and do nothing..isot for me to judge in that..I am just letting those know what it means to be a lightworker andhats not to be waiting for so many years too escape. and messing up the good energies that allf us others trying to put out ..


27/50

f you had control and balance and even tried things would be much easier for you..but someont even take the 5-15 minutes it takes a day too simply take some aum time..you have allowe

NORM life to take over ..and I am afraid NORM life as we know is not way it should be formany..It is doing its job in keeping us from doing ours when we stay surrounded in Chaos..

We have control of our lives and gifts too utilize .. find time too Balance and keep your energyheck.. there are many different ways in doing this.. even many know but dont allow themselv

hat time.. and then wonder why things are so complicated in them and with them..hey trust in the daily enviroment but not their gifts and abilities..so is only on them that they

manifested this too themselves.. their own fault then turn around and wish too escape even ifmeans destroying this beutiful planet to get off.. that is outragious..

You have the ability use it ..as the site logo allways said believe in yourself and make it happennd still holds true to this day.. only if you allow it..and stop being lazy if you arent happy aboow your life is you can help us all with your gifts too manifest a more positive enviroment forll..is what we do is why we here..And with this latest let down for so many I am afraid you wi

ee many fade off too continue with their NORM and will not be interested in helping others osing their energies too continue our efforts ..because they will feel let down as I have seen thewere'nt allowed too be takin away from this..and will find no purpose in even trying for othershis planet due to they were denied destruction of this planet..is very sad really what I have seerom this community..

Too those Lightworkers who have done nothing but spread word of peace and love and positivnergies without the destruction..is very much appreciated and our work will be recognized..ifot now in the future we do what we can too manifest a more positive reality when we give it thositive energy..dont let others get in your way of that..dont even feed into their propaganda

others have their own agendas and will use others in this process when they want people too fnto it,.. thus feeding that negative..

have worked too hard in what I do to let knuckle heads destroy or wish ill will on all..they wiet theirs and will be by their own doing..

Much peace to all

Shadows visual for AIR

Posted by haw

irst I want to lay out few points speacily when doing vision or visual quest.

dont try to explain these to others as I am use to an instamatic way of doing this.

o when I lay one out for others I have to account for differernt mental properties and conciouwareness and to not crowd the mind thought process..

s with some items I may mention will not be dispersed in all areas taking the concious thinkinll over the board.

try to keep it simple and within a circumferance of the concious mind so therefore it is notistracted way off to another point of.

With so many having so much on their minds I dont want to confuse them with clutter this canause distraction and there fore allow another subconcious thought in and disrupt the primaryurpose of the meditation visual.

Depending on the visual can add theme sound to it as with water and rain with wind chimes nooud ones..that can be overwhelming to the hearing vs mind and thought process.

Read the visual take it in line for line as if your doing an awake visual but understanding thelements and surrounding closely..

o when you do this Visual it is set in your sub concious and is allot clearer and simpler toecipher from within with eyes closed..and thus putting you right in the Place or state of mindou should be in and allows less out fereance to intrude..and is best to make sure is no phoneslose by kids are locked in closets and hubby got his pizza and tea and wont be buggin..

The Element I will be using for this oen will be Air

irst ..

ick your most comfortable clothes you have and feel at ease in your mind

hen Imagine a huge grove with an open feild in the middle about the size of an area that fits yomfort zone for those that are of the more secluded might imagine a small feild with treesurrounding it..


30/50

hen others maybe in a wide open wheat field for vastness.

This will be with the small field surrounded by trees

ou enter this grove the sun is out and is beutiful Fall day

Leaves are still green the grass is short and still green in the feild

s freshly cut.

ut the temprature is comfortable not hot or cold.

ou find a big oak tree and go sit in front of it

with your back to it overlooking the field

s you sit and look around and see the sun glaring thru the trees and onto the field you can feehe calmness of this air is no one else around

ou see flowers here and there of any kind what you see all that matters.

ou start to feel at ease in this place and you hear and feel a slite breeze coming thru the trees.

ou see it flowing over the fresh cut grass and swaying of the nearby plants.

s you feel it come over you

ou feel it whisping thru your hair and across your arms and face

hen it goes away for a second as you look to this field more.

ou see few little butterflies making their way across over near you

hey are together going from flower to flower.

nd as the breeze comes thru again they move to another and again

ou feel it come thru your hair and your arms.

t is very quiet and you hear a few leaves in the trees ruffle above you and around you as thereeze makes it way through.

ou notice a little yellow flower in the grass the sun is reflecting off of.

ou can pick this and hold it ..it is yours


31/50

old it as another breeze comes thru the trees ..leaves ruffling..

nd the butterflies scurry on to another flower.

his time the breeze lingers a little longer

owing thru your hair and across your arms and bodyou feel as if you can just float with the breeze around you.

s the sun shines on you it is recharging your batteriesnd as the wind blows over you it is cleansing your body

with the cleanest natures air. and will refresh yound you will have had the experience of being one with nature

nd enjoy a rare day many dont get to.his is your hideaway and will be back to

s you look around and see the Butterflies are further awaynd you have your little yellow flower givin to you

y nature.you slowly rise to your feet ..ake in the breeze one more time and feel it flow over you

ook to the field and say Thank you for such a wonderful daynd as you leave thr grove head up the path you came in

with the breeze still with you and as you come to your doorhe wind will fade away as with the visual of the forest will be as if is behind you down the road

where it will be anytime you need itnd open your eyes to feel fresher ..rejeuvenated and cleansed by the Grove air

nd recharged from the sun..nd set your Little flower you picked

n a spot on a shelf and when times get hard look to that spot

emember your flower

nd go back to this graove and get you another one..his is a visual that can last as long as you are time allowed ..short or lil longer depending on ychedule.ut is one I thought up for many who have a hard timeoing these things..so is simplistic but can be very effective..

Much love and Peace

The balance of darkness and of lightThat holds the web threads ever tightBlack chaos dragons and those of light

Locked in balance that is rightThe Dragon's code is very clear

Ogham (Tree Lore)Posted by Bruce

Ogham is often desribed as the secret language of the druids, a language surrounded by myth

egend.The Ogham tree lore is "A Language", "A Medicinal Log", "A Philosophy", "A Theosophy",s a progressive life enhancing guide to "Bnwyfre"TM life force energy.

Divination, mystery, communication and the expression of intent laid down for future generatrom the wisdom keepers, the Elders and the Druids. In the celtic regions it is known to be at l500 years old, there is evidence of similar languages outside the celtic regions dating back froefore 3000bc making its foundations more than 5000 years old. The Siberian tribes of more th000 years ago used charcoal and wood for runestones, the Nordic tribes used runestones inducation and worship, the Tibetan monks of many millenia have used wooden prayer wheels

f these have a similar backgrounds and will have contributed to the Ogham language, theorgotten voice of "The Druid."

With the Nordic tribes invading Prydain (Britain) comes fresh myth and legend, the vikings agrought new dialects and language to the celtic Prydain regions. It is recognised that druids of00bc were familiar with the language of Socrates (ancient Greek) but by the year 400ad Lati

was prevelant amongst the hierarchy of the modern society. It is also to be said that language ialect varied from region to region. Prior to 600bc the celts were the dominating mass across

what is now Scandinavia, Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland, Italy & Greece. With the birt

f Christ came the growing Roman empire and the gradual demise of the Celtic Druid. One ofmain factors of the druidic culture was the use of a secret language that enveloped all nations,ocieties and traditions, this language being Ogham/Ogam ("ow em" - "ohm" - "oh am")

A lot of what we understand today comes from the 14th century with a revival of the old wayslong with fresh interpretation of what could have been. To look back beyond the 14th century

we rely on actual and circumstantial evidence that takes us into the language of the Celtic Drund the surviving Prydain Druid. The invasion of the Romans reduced the Celtic Druid to theands of Prydain, (Britain, Ireland and Iceland) and the islands surrounding Prydain, the scotsles, Ireland and the isle of Anglessey were among the last places known for the Prydain Drui

ultures & places of education.

Hippocrates is known today as the founder of western medicine, an ancient Greek living fourundred years before the birth of Christ influences our culture today. He was one of the first ttate that dis-ease is not caused by the wrath of Gods and that it can be treated as a humanondition. The father of western medicine living on a remote island "Kos" taught students aevolutionary new way to treat dis-ease. It is unknown where his knowledge came from or wheis students relayed their knowledge! So very much a situation of if he learned from the Celts?

f they learned from him? What is known is that through established trade routes both ships a

ver land and with the coming of the iron age, knowledge was shared across the Celtic regionswas many goods from Greek, Roman, Etruscan and Persian civilisations.


37/50

One translation of a part of the Hippocratic oath is:I swear by Apollo Physician and Asclepius and Hgieia and Panaceia and all the gods andoddesses, making them my witnesses."

he Ogham tree lore includes the findings of the ancients and includes their teachings withegard to cures for illnesses and dis-ease. If I mention Hippokrate` from Kos then I must also

mention Socrates from Athens who from the same timelines and the same area as Hippocrates

was a philosopher. It is known that the two led similar paths, Socrates student Plato wrote maf Socrates teachings but is known to have written it with his own interests at heart. The originessons were spoken but written later, the romans were superior with their scriptures, the

Romans revolutionised school as they believed in writing and recording everything, but up to toint, scholars and students would normally have been taught by word of mouth. Pliny the eldfamous for writing about the pagan rituals and influences from the 1st Century. In his writin

we can discover the foundations of many future translations from the Greeks, Etruscans, Celtsnd Druids but we must always bare in mind that Pliny was a Roman who wrote from a Romaerspective.n the same way that language and translations are adapted from region to region, trees and

lantlife change from region to region as do the Gods and Goddesses along with their uniquearious interpretations change their names from region to region.

After we have taken all of these considerations into account this is a time of the birth ofChristianity, a time of great turmoil and confusion.

he Ogham tree lore is "A Language", "A Medicinal Log", "A Philosophy", "A Theosophy",a progressive life enhancing guide to "Bnwyfre"TM spiritual life force energy.

he Druids placed the trees into one of three categories, with each category inter-relating and o less importance than the other categories, these are;

Chieftain: Alder, Ash, Oak, Hazel, Vine, Ivy, Blackthorn, Yew, Mistletoe,(Heather), Furze,eech.

easant: Birch, Rowan, Willow, Hawthorn, Holly, Heather, Spindle, Honeysuckle.

hrub: Apple, Reed, Elder, Fir, White Poplar.

t is also worth validating the titled hierarchy or system used, whilst all things are sacred andhould be seen as such. An order of respect or nobility is essential within any society.

he disciplines of Ogham as taught and practised by the druids is not about regional systems oeth-Luis-Nion/Fearn it is about understanding the differences in nature, climate, time zones,egions and cultures. The long summers of Italy will not produce the same spiritual or physicassence as the cold winters of Iceland and yet the teachings of Ogham tree lore took place on bdes of the Celtic region. Ogham/Ogam/Ogm is about understanding the principles ofBnwyfre"(TM) life force energy.


38/50

Druidic and Pagan belief is that first there was dark then there was light, this meaning theulture would be from new moon to new moon, commonly referred to as Beth-Luis-Nion with ear starting at winter solstice, my belief is this is heavily influenced by the coligny calendar ahe Roman influences. The Beth-Luis-Fearne calendar begins earlier with the full moon and isssociated as starting !st November full moon to full moon this following Samhain the time whhe veil is at it's thinnest between the two worlds because of seasonal changes. The harvest haseen gathered and it is a time for celebration and new beginnings. Anything not expected to

urvive winter would be allowed to pass to spirit or slain in ritual with the bones being cast inthe fires.The Jalaali Persian calendar is possibly one of the major influences during the 14th centuryevival of druidic culture, as this calendar was based on the lunar cycle. julius Caesar (46 bce)long with the invading Romans is responsible for instilling the Egyptian solar calendar of 365ays. The confusion in both region and translation is all but lost, my belief is one based withegional seasons and traditional lunar astronomical knowledge. "First there was dark." My yetarts at Samhain (sow in) after the harvest has been gathered and leads into the new moon anew beginnings. A waning moon is a time of casting out and conservation, A waxing moon is ame for harvesting and sharing.

The main controversy is when this calendar starts. Samhain? which is a time when the twoworlds are closest together and the energies merge easier. (seasonal) Or Winter Solstice? a timhe longest night. (Astrological) My belief is the coming and going of the seasons might fluctua

with a late summer or early frost and so adopting a calender based on precision and fitting65.244 days into a four year cycle is not for me.

Grieving a lost pet

Posted by peacewillow devine

nce "holistic" refers to more than just medicine, i felt that it was time to add this discussion.

doubt that there are any among us who have not faced the death of our beloved companions.nd, as pet lovers, we know that this loss can be even more devastating than the loss of a fellowuman being.

ur pets are often our very best friends, the only ones who ever hear our deepest, darkest fearshe ones we turn to when no one else seems to want to listen.

or some of us, our pets become the only souls that we can depend on when days turn stormy.

while there is no "magical" cure for the pain that we feel, i believe that it is vitally important twe do allow ourselves to feel that pain in its' entirety.

o that end, i humbly offer you the following list of ways to work thru the deepest pain known umankind.

. first of all, please understand that nothing you did, or did not do, caused the death of your pnly our creator can influence birth and death. be assured that it was your pet's "time to go",

matter what the circumstances.

. forgive yourself for whatever failings you believe you are guilty of. trust me when i tell you tour pet has already forgiven you. they understand much more than we do.

. be grateful for the time you had together. make a scrapbook, or a simple list, of the good timhat you shared together. write a letter to your pet, thanking them for all that they taught you,nd all the joy that they brought you.

. talk about your pet to people who understand what you are going thru. and keep talking unou can do it without breaking down into a million pieces. these happy memories are your wayonoring the life you spent together and you will need them every day for the rest of your life.

. cry, as often as you need to. tears are the way we cleanse our grief from our bodies, hearts aminds, leaving only the love behind.

. pay special attention to your children and remaining pets. they grieve differently than adultut they do grieve. allow them that. talk to them about the loss, encourage them to talk about tet. make sure they eat. (i know that sounds odd, but that is how some pets grieve....they stop

ating.)

. create some sort of memorial where you can honor your pet by praying for them, lighting aandle, or doing whatever else feels right to you. this can be a backyard grave, or a space on yolter, or just a collage of your favorite pictures of the two of you. (this website - www.petloss.cohas a monday night candle ceremony for all those interested)

. understand that grieving takes time. and it really is like a roller coaster. some days you mayeel guilty about how good you feel. other days you won't want to get out of bed. this can go oneveral months. and, just when you think you've gotten past the worst of it, something can comp that tears your heart out anew. this can be a holiday, a birthday or seeing someone else's neuppy.

. please don't rush out to get a "replacement" pet right away. while this may fill the physicalole left by the loss of your pet, it can also cause you untold guilt, as well as delay your grievinrocess.

0. finally, honor your grief. understand that the deeper you loved your pet, the deeper the paiwill be. you don't stop loving someone just because they have died. you are not "crazy" for

rieving your pet so hard. you do not need to "get over it". you need to absorb it, to allow it ton the growth of your soul. these beautiful creatures volunteered to come here and guide us witheir love. feel that in your very being. you are loved still.

our task is to embrace all of our loved one's life - the good parts, the ugly parts, the hard partnd then to make sure that love is what we remember most" - darcie sims

lease let me know if there is anything that i can do to help any of you get thru this difficult timmy love is with each and every one of you.

much peace, love & smiles always

Dream Work


Working with your dreams can be very beneficial and may help you work through the things tmost effect you in your life.

here are many different kinds of dreaming.. some say they dont dream at all, but they do. Wll dream! There are different levels on consciousness while sleeping and depending on what leou are at when the dreaming begins or even what level you go to after the dream, plays a bigart in remembering your dreams.

o help you remember your dreams:As you lay down at night tell yourself over and over again that you intend on remembering.

ractice makes perfect. You cant do this just once and expect to remember. this is something

oull need to do until you have finally started remembering those dreams.here are also many different stones that are helpful when wanting to dream more, have moreivid dreams or simply remember your dreams. Amethyst, moonstone and quartz are just a fehat come to mind first. Find the stone that calls to you. ANY stone call do the trick.. if it calls ou.

Meditation is also a very helpful tool. Again, find a meditation that suits you. There are tons omeditation techniques out there. Do some Googling and try many different forms of meditatio

ntil you find the one that fits you best. Meditation is a training of the mind and the more you the better you get. As with all things it takes time, patience and lots of practice.

Dream catchers are another tool used for dream work. They are best used by hanging over yoed or somewhere in the bedroom where the morning sunlight will reach it every day. The

morning sun cleanses the dream catcher of all the bad or negative dreams and thoughts.ournalsdream journals are ever so helpful. Hard to make yourself remember to do at first s always practice.. practice. Write down your dreams before your feet hit the floor. Once youut of bed, auto mode kicks in and you begin your tasks at hand for the day and the journalemains empty.

ssential oils - oh one of my favorites! I love essential oils and there are many out there designo help you with sleep and dream work.

whatever tool you use.. practice, practice, practice. Find what calls to you and what feels rightYou can use one of the tools above or a combinations of several or all of them .. or even findomething different that works for you. Good luck and sweet dreams!

Many Blessings,Raventalkerf you are interested in using Dream Catchers for your dream works.. visit my Etsy shop.. I ha

Now some would generalize by calling something Global warming..or a Green Agenda ..ome of us see that for what it is a Corporate agenda name. but being we are who we are weecognize Earth goes through Changes .and I will not or can blame man kind for causing a maarth change..we give ourselves too much credit in that..again is a full blown agenda by those

who want to propagandize situations..

ut we can make a start in our community by raising awareness to things going on in ourmmediate surroundings..for some its factories or coal mines ..or big Industry dumping waste.

t would seem we have all heard these stories for many years already but the sad truth nothingas really been done about it..or it wouldn't still continue..f you know of a company who is violating simple guidelines and rules taking short cuts..find uhe petition link and will add here.

We all have to except that Earth is going through changes even this polar shift some deny haseen more of a shift then in long time..and you have to imagine if Earth tilts so much which alsrings our seasons..but more then usual..there will be changes in places..

s of now I see people freaking out on smoke on water ..or plain white cloudy skies in UK..it isew to them ..which it isn't for us..for example.. where I am maybe more tropical or not muchhange due to where I am even in Earth shift ..my area doesn't move much but it will for otherhose who were below the arctic circle will find they are or will be soon..above this arctic circlehese changes we just have to condition ourselves to it..but at same time help with insightfulnformation to those here on Earth that are making drastic changes as in Forestry or Oceans.see Global warming as planetary change no more..where there use to be snow..will be warmend in other places where was warm will get snow.. take a Globe and move it just a little and s

where it changes locations greatly with slight tilt..

nd is said we are 13-30% more then normal this is a rare shift.and will cause disrupt as we alave seen between floods quakesand melting of ice. So while Earth is going through this rarehange we can still do what we can to help issues that been going on for years..orporations taking short cuts with buy offs must be exposed..
