Let your dominant intent be to feel good which means be playful, have fun,
laugh often, look for reasons to appreciate and practice the art of
appreciation. And as you practice it, the Universe, who has been watching
you practice, will give you constant opportunities to express it. So that
your life just gets better and better and better.

--- Abraham

Early Solstice Celebration

The original reason for the season is the Winter Solstice. Solstice is a word from the Latin that meaning "stands still". For six days at this time, the sun appears to stand still on the horizon. This was a time of uncertainty and mystery as people wondered if indeed the sun would return. When it did year and year again, festivals grew up in just about every place and culture. Even today in our modern indoor society the Solstice continues to be a time of celebration across the world. The theme of light emerging from darkness is universal at this time of year.

In primitive societies the priests and shamans were most certainly the astronomers. Knowledge of the mathematical calculations needed to calculate the time of the Solstices would be seen as high magic in these cultures. From New Grange in Ireland to Chaco Canyon in New Mexico, to the great solar temples of Egypt, peoples developed elaborate sacred sites to track the movement of the Sun across the sky and to note the times of the Solstices. Stonehenge is the most famous of the solar calculators and its construction is one of the great unsolved mysteries.

The celebration of Horus or Ra the Sun in ancient Egypt involved decorating with

greenery especially palm branches with twelve fronds and directly linked the Sun God to the natural rhythms of the Sun in the sky.

The Solstice time in Babylon was Zagmuk. The Babylonians incorporated their Sun god Marduk who defeated the Monsters of Chaos during this dark and shadowy time. This holiday introduced the idea of the struggle between good and bad; continued today in the magical persona of a Santa Claus who uses the granting of presents or coal and switches to judge children.

The festival of Sacaea continued this theme. The Persians and later the Greeks

celebrated the reversal of order that was stirred up by Kallikantzaroi, mischievous imps who roamed about during the twelve days of Sacaea. These imps had a darker side than the elves Santa associates with today.

In Rome the major festival for this time of year was Saturnalia, the birthday of the Roman God Saturn. This festival was celebrated from December 17–24. This holiday included pig sacrifice and gift exchange and was followed by the Kalends an early January celebration of the New Year where houses were decorated with greenery and lights. Both of which are usually still up on New Year's Day in modern America.

The Norse, largely independently arrived at a similar holiday that bears the closest resemblance to the modern celebrations and unlike the Celts and many others, made this a major holiday. We can thank them for the word Yule that still is used interchangeably with Christmas by many contemporary persons. We can also thank them for the traditions of caroling, the Yule log and the first custom of bringing an entire evergreen into the house. It is fitting that this would be a major holiday for those who lived so far north that the winter nights literally swallowed the days in the time directly before Solstice.

Modern Solstice Celebrations

Christmas: The earliest record of a Christmas celebration was in Rome in 336 CE. Pope Liberus in 354 CE placed the holiday on December 25. The Armenian Church still celebrates on Jan 6. The holiday remains an almost universal celebration around the World. Many people participant in the cultural elements of Christmas to a much greater extent than the religious. Unfortunately Christmas has come to represent consumerism in our society with many stores and businesses dependent on large sales this time of year. Many Christians are trying to reestablish the religious aspects of the season by moving away from large scale elaborate gifting and returning to homemade and personal services gifting. Many see this as an environmental imperative as well as a religious one. There is also a movement towards joint celebrations with many other spiritual seasonal

celebrations to allow us all to experience the diversity of spiritual experience as well as the Christian teachings of peace and good will towards all.

But even as Christmas seems to be everywhere it is important to remember that other solar festivals remain and new ones have been established.

Pagan Yule: The word Yule is from the Scandinavian word Jul meaning 'wheel'. Many pagans honor the turning wheel at this time. Many Wiccans honor the theme from the Celts: they see Yule as the time of battle between the aging Holly King and the young Oak King. Others may use the Greek myth of Persephone and the Underworld to enact the theme of dark giving way to light. Still others see the waning God passing to the waxing Goddess.

For many Wiccans Yule is a lesser Sabot: with Beltane and Samhain being more

significant. Common celebrations involve all night bon fires, Yule log rituals, and rituals celebrating the return of the light with large numbers of candles. Drumming, chanting and ecstatic dancing are often a part of these rituals as they tend to be in all Wiccan and Neo-Pagan rituals. Many Norse Pagans or the other hand see Yule as the major festival, a time for swearing oaths, toasting and boasting.

Solstice/ Midwinter Night: Celebrated by many neo-Pagans, New Agers, and even by

some atheists we see new traditions are arising out of the old. They may borrow

liberally from many older traditions and add to them with new traditions. It may be elaborate ritual or a simple bonfire to celebrate the returning sun. It may have religious or spiritual connotations or it may just be a cultural celebration. People are finding old and new ways to celebrate with friends and family.

Hanukkah (Chanukah) : This eight day festival of lights celebrates a victory by a small Jewish army, led by Judah Maccabee over the Assyrian Greeks in the second century BC. After regaining their right to worship in the temple they had only enough sacred oil to last a short time. Myth has it that the oil miraculously burned for eight days straight. The festival is celebrated by lighting the menorah candles each night until all are lit. Gifts are exchanged and seasonal food shared. Gelt, which is chocolate or real money, is often

given. A dreidel or four-sided top is also a popular gift and game to be played. Latkes or potato pancakes are often served.

Kwanzaa. This modern holiday was created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, an

American academic to celebrate the African roots of Afro-Americans. The word is from Swahili and translated to 'first fruits'. Seven candles, one black and three each of red and green are lit each night for the seven principles of Kwanzaa. These principles are Unity, Self-determination, Collective work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity and Faith. Other symbols are the colors of red (struggle) black (unity) and green (future) from flag created by Marcus Garvey at the beginning of the century, the unity cup, the candleholder for the candles, which is called the Kinara

Common Elements of Solstice Celebrations

Child of Wonder, Child of Light

A great many of the winter solstice festivals celebrate the birth of a wonder child. The child, especially a magical child represents hope and rebirth embodied.

The child is almost always a male and is often the result of a non-ordinary birth. The divine feminine is usually embodied in the birth and the Madonna/goddess image of fertility is often a part of the symbology.

Osiris, the Egyptian Sun god underwent death, dismemberment and resurrection

yearly with the travels of the Sun and the rise and fall of the Nile River and thus the fertility of the area. In his guise as Horus he was the sun as well as the son. Pictured sitting on the lap of his mother Isis, his portrait is very reminiscent of the Christian Madonna with child images and is one of the earliest children of promise.

In ancient Greek myth the son god Attis was born in a cave around the time of Solstice and was the son of the Goddess Cybel or Isis. Attis grew to full strength with the sun and was yearly cut down to be reborn.

While Saturn was the sun god for whom Saturnalia, the great Roman solar festival was celebrated for, another god Mithras who was worshiped well (6th Century BC) before but then contemporarily (second century BC to fifth century CE) with Jesus. Mithras was also born in a cave of a virgin and later went through death and resurrection. Because Mithras was worshiped by Emperor Constantine before his conversation to Christianity he may be a more direct influence on the Christian story as well as the date since Mithras' birthday was celebrated on December 25.

Even in North American among the Huron along the northern shore of Lake Ontario, a child of wonder named Deganawidah was born of a virgin. This child was sent by the Great Spirit as a messenger to bring peace to humankind. He traveled among the tribes and is credited with founding the Iroquois Confederacy. It is believed that he too will return to Earth at the time of greatest need. This is a clear parallel to the return of King Arthur and the Second Coming of Christ and would indicate that the story is an archetypal myth shared by humans all around the world.

Santa and other Father Winters

Is Santa a Shamanic concept? Many pictures of northern Shaman are very similar to woodland Santas -- both ancient and modern. He appears in long fur robes, often with Bells and is often an older man. The Shaman works both in the spiritual realm and in the material sphere. The Shaman climbed the world tree to bring back gifts of spiritual knowledge as well as calling the herds to supply food and materials for the material lives of his people. Often he went up the smoke hole, the early chimney at night probably in trance, possibly with the herd of reindeer that supported his clan.

Like the Shaman, Santa embodies magic and mystery, the spirit of nature as well as universal human values of caring and generosity. The word Shaman is a Siberian word and this is the land of the reindeer. In his Primitive Mythology, Joseph Campbell describes a legendary Shaman who received his enlightenment in the nest of a winged reindeer in a tree, which was thought to reach the heavens.

There were also Goddesses who rode sleighs and delivered gifts. The Norse goddess Freya rode a chariot pulled by stags.

The life and legends of the Christian St. Nickolas continues the magic of the

Shaman. As a young man St. Nickolas traveled to the holy land and on his way

back was blown around in a storm and ended upon the coast of Lyca near Myra. He

went to pray at the nearest church where the bishop was retiring. One member of

the convocation (committee) to choose a new Bishop had had a vision that the new

Bishop would be coming to the church and his name would be Nickolas. Arriving as

he did the boy was made Bishop of Myra. After serving a prison term under the

Romans, young St. Nickolas participated in the decision of Pope Liberus to make

Dec 25 the official date of the birth of Christ and the celebration of Christmas. He was a generous man who gave much to the poor of Myca through out the year but especially around Christmas. He was also a Christian Shaman whose miracles that lead to his sainthood was bring back to life and form three boys who had been chopped up and boiled in a pot for stealing.

Modern Santas: Our modern image of Santa in a red suit can be traced to Thomas

Nast, an amazing commercial artist of the 19th century. He developed Santa for

President Lincoln as well as the Donkey and Elephant of the Democrats and

Republicans. His illustration was used in New Yorker publication of Clement Moore's famous poem, T'was the Night Before Christmas.

Coca Cola: Haddon Sunblom popularized most common image of the modern global

culture in 1931.

Contemporary Santas: Even today the image of Santa grows and expands to fill hopes and dreams of all children. Modern Santas of all races and nationalities join woodland and other artist Santas to adorn homes and businesses. Woodland Santas stand on store shelves beside Santas who play golf, surf, and just about any activity you can imagine. Some even have electronic movement and sound.

Evergreens: The obvious symbol of eternal life, green when all else is barren and brown. Evergreens were probably held sacred very early in human prehistory. Again the palm fronds in Egypt and the greening during the Kalends are recorded examples.

The Christmas tree: In the sixth century it is said that the Christian St. Boniface cut down a sacred oak to spite local druids. As the tree fell, it crushed everything in its path except one cedar. He declared it a miracle and that the tree belonged to the Christ child. This is often cited as an example of cultural assimilation of Pagan religious symbology for political purposes.

Hanging of the greens: Decorating with evergreens was first noted in Egypt. It was also popular during the roman Saturnalia and Kalends. The Norse also brought in evergreens for decoration during the long snowy winters. Where Christmas is celebrated, the evergreens are often used to mark the start of the season, which is longer than any of the preceding cultures, now beginning shortly after Halloween and withering out sometime in middle January, marked mainly by clearance sales.

Holly: A symbol from the Celts, the male symbol of rebirth is again an evergreen, this time with red berries. A plant of protection, holly is the symbol of the god of the dark year.

Mistletoe: Mistletoe may have first been used in the Greek winter ceremonies. The Norse legend said it was blessed with luck and fertility by the goddess Frigga after Balder, her son, was shot by Loki, the dark and mischievous imp god, with an arrow of mistletoe. Her tears restored him to life and fell also on the mistletoe giving it magical properties. Mistletoe was also sacred to the Druids. As it dried, it became the golden bough, symbolic of both sun and moon, of the male and female mysteries.

Winged Goddesses, Angels and Elves: These range from representations of the

Goddess Iris to the Catholic Holy Spirits. From the many spirits of the holy host to Santa's magical elves these winged fairies bring another element of the mischievous imps to our Solstice season.

Madonna: The female remains firmly in the season, firmly eternal throughout the

turning of the wheel, the force of nature herself. Her consort, son, partner going through continual birth and rebirth is the wonder child.

Yule log: This harks back to the importance of fire during the darkness of winter. A whole tree was burned during the Greek festival of Sacaea to scar away the Kallikantzuroi (mischievous imps) . The familiar Yule log was a Norse tradition adopted by the Christians. In early America there was a custom "freedom of the Yule, " a week off for slaves and savants while the Yule log burned. "Firewood as wet as a Yule log" was a saying that this custom generated.

These are many of the ancient legends of the Solstice, which have been important in the development of our modern holiday celebration. As modern spiritual seekers we are borrowing from and saving the old ways while we create new ways. We take what is significant to us and add to it, creating personal, family and community traditions. There are kids, stories, and magick as the Sun and Son once again returns!

Smoky Quartz

Posted by: "Ash" mhc4sure@yahoo.com   mhc4sure

Sun Dec 12, 2010 8:42 am (PST)




Smoky Quartz

Written and compiled by - Patricia
Jean Martin
Smoky
Quartz is another macrocrystalline variety of Quartz.  Another name
for this variety is Cairngorm, named after the Cairngorm Mountains in
Scotland where its crystals were once found and once prevalent.
 The very dark brown and black opaque specimens are called
"Morion", and the ones containing alternating bands of black and gray are called
"Coon Tail Quartz".  The transparent brown, gray or black color
makes Smoky Quartz easily recognizable.  The range of
"smoky" colors found in this crystal come from clear Rock Crystal
Quartz which contains traces of aluminum and where the crystal has been
subjected to natural radiation over long periods of time.  Sometimes
specimens are artificially irradiated and collectors who prefer natural
occurrence should be wary of this when purchasing.  Faceted specimens
placed in jewelry have been misleadingly called Smoky
Topaz. 
Smoky
Quartz most often occurs in Quartz veins where it forms inside rock
cavities called "vugs".  It is also commonly found in the cores of
pregmatites, and more rarely as a secondary crystal within geodes.  It is
not unusual to find small cavities inside a Smoky Quartz crystal which contain
carbon dioxide or water and sometimes both.  These are
called enhydros.  When movement of the gas and liquid inclusions
within a cavity can be seen with the naked eye, they are called elestial
enhydros.  When a substantial number of fluid
inclusions occur in abundance, the Quartz becomes opaque and is called
Milky Quartz.  You will find that most Smoky Quartz crystals will form on a
bed of Milky Quartz, one grading into the other.  Other common mineral
inclusions that may be found in Smoky Quartz are Hematite, Chlorite or
Goethite. 
Another
interesting and relatively common formation that may be found in all the
Quartz varieties, including Smoky Quartz, is when a separate shape - called a
"phantom" - is noticeable in the interior of the crystal, and subsequently
has been named "Phantom Quartz".  These "phantoms" are most often
comprised of another mineral such as Chlorite, Milky or Rock
Crystal, but also occur through simply containing a lighter or
darker shade of its own mineral...for instance, Smoky Quartz within Smoky
Quartz.  The latter happens when an interruption or cessation of growth in
the crystal occurs.  Then, when the crystal resumes its growth
and if the conditions of its environment have now changed, the outer
crystal will grow differently and will appear separate from the inner
one which often takes on a ghostly look; hence the name
Phantom. 
Smoky
Quartz has also been called "Champagne on Ice".  It is the national
gem of Scotland, and their national scepter contains a large Smoky Quartz
crystal on top. 
General
Information: 

Chemistry:  SiO2, Silicon Dioxide. 
 

Class:  Tectosilicates. 
Group:  Quartz 
Color:  Brown to gray to black. 
Luster:  Vitreous.  
Crystal System:  Hexagonal-Rhombohedral; 32
(trigonal-trapezohedral). 
Crystal Habit:  Macroscopic crystals that form six-sided
pyramids at termination. Trigonal trapezoheldral faces can occur in upper right
or left of alternating prism faces which identify right or left-handed crystals
respectively. Twinning is possible. 
Cleavage:  None. 
Fracture:  Conchoidal. 
Hardness:  7 
Specific Gravity:  2.65 
Streak:  White 
Other Characteristics:  Transparent with refraction index
of 1.54-1.55.   
Notable Occurrences:  Brazil, Pikes Peak area in Colorado,
Switzerland.  
Best Field Indicators:  Color, hardness, crystal
habit.  
Uses:  Gemstones; ornamental; collector specimens.
 
Much of
the geological information for Smoky Quartz is the same as clear
Quartz [see Quartz (Rock Crystal)], but I will list any differences
here. 
Myths and Lore: 

Smoky
Quartz was, and remains, sacred to the Druids.  It is also associated with
the goddess Hecate, as are many of the darker crystals and
stones.  The crystal has also been associated with Samhain
due to its smoky and sometimes ghostly effects
in appearance.  There is a sphere of Smoky Quartz, now displayed
in the British Museum, which is reputed to be the famous "Shew-stone" of
Dr. Dee, the court diviner to Queen Elizabeth I of England.  Dr. Dee
alleged the Shew-stone was brought to him by angels. 
Through scrying with the Shew-stone, Sir Edwar Kelly obtained a series of
diagrams reportedly containing the "Keys to all the mysteries of the
Universe".   
While
there is little else to be found in myth and lore concerning Smoky Quartz,
the crystal of course is linked closely to Clear Quartz (Rock Crystal) and thus
it can be said to also share in that wealth of myth and lore. 

Metaphysical
Properties: 

Astrological Sign(s):  Capricorn and Sagittarius. 

Element(s): All, with a preponderance toward Earth and
Fire.   
Chakra(s): Root, with a Root to
Crown connection.

Mental
clarity. 
Calming. 
Grounding. 
Centering. 
Stabilizing. 
Organizing and prioritizing. 
Uplifting. 
Filtering and clearing. 
Protection. 
Assists

Transforms negative emotion to positive energy. 

Gives
physical aid in treating:  Kidneys, pancreas, adrenals, sex organs.
Alleviates disturbances of the nervous system. Helps remove toxins
from the body; counters negative effects of radiation. 

NOTE:  
Stone
therapy should NOT take the place of medical evaluation and procedures, and
should be used merely to enhance one's health and well-being. 

My own thoughts and
experiences: 

This
earthy crystal has a very cool, calm and collected feeling to it, but is by no
means sedate in its gift-giving.  What warms this stone up is that
it carries an inner spark of fire (and even dips toward water at times), as
its dark rich tones and often multiple inclusions, rainbows
and mists lend themselves to gentle but deep stimulation of
your own innate qualities.  The crystal also acts as
a bridge between you and whatever ancestral communications have been trying
to make their way through to you. 
Seeing
Smoky Quartz has been recommended as a tool for meditation and as a "companion
for Nature workings", I decided to try it in both areas, as well as letting it
open me up to whatever areas it wished to reveal to me.  In
meditating, I found it helped me to relax and clear as
the meditation began.  To start, it very noticeably acts as a
facilitator—lending it's clarifying and calming energies to wave
aside anxieties, stress and pressure, while at the same time
firing one up to prioritize and focus on a single task
at a time and to achieve it with the least amount of angst.  These are very
important aspects to attain and hold while attempting meditation, and
the Smoky Quartz works well here.   
But it was during meditation that I found one of the
dark, soothing crystal's greatest strengths.  As it acted to
clear the mind of extraneous clutter, set priorities straight and
encourage strength and determination to get the job done, it then
began to allow for a better and more direct connection between the
ethereal to the physical self.  It seemingly bypasses all other
Chakras as it opens a direct channel from Root to Crown... the emphasis on the
Root (physical life-force energy) which receives and filters that
which comes from the Crown (essence of spiritual self).  Expression becomes
clearer and more to the point, allowing for better integration of the
physical body to remain in focus when communicating with the Higher
Self.  As an added bonus, it also brings with it a
feeling of safety and security while contemplation and
analysis of any situation takes place.  

For me,
this crystal performed best in its "Nature work" capacity, leaving me more in
tune and attracted to all things natural.  In its promotion of the physical
aspects of Nature (and that includes one's own nature), I've found Smoky
Quartz to be a get-back-to-the-basics stone.  It pushes one to
move and act in very basic and natural ways.   

Smoky
Quartz can also show you what is hidden - be it through anywhere
from scrying for something lost to journeying into your inner sanctum.
 It does this by way of its natural inclination toward directing
intrinsic focus and cutting to the sacred chase.  In this way, it
mimics Bear medicine.  Yet, this versatile stone can act as a shield
too, as it can hide you just as well by creating a natural cloak of
invisibility for its bearer.  Like a beacon through the smoky
mists, this strong crystal easily becomes what I now dub it...The Facilitator
and The Protector. 
End.

Quado's Garden: You Are Unique

You
are Unique

 

You
are
unique in all the universe.  Think about that.  In the entire universe, there is
no other being who is exactly like you, who sees things the way you do, who can
express things the way that you would and can.  Today, contemplate this.  See
what this means, if you will but allow yourself to be who you are and share that
uniqueness with the world.

 

There
are talents you have been given, the easy, effortless things that just came to
you:  a lovely singing voice, a talent for movement, an eye for design. 
Developing these skills is neither easy nor effortless, but it is well worth the
time and energy.  For when you explore and expand those areas to which you are
naturally drawn, you will find a great release in their use.  You will find them
a great path to open expression of that uniqueness that is you.

 

When
you dig deep enough and successfully express your deepest self, you will also
strike a deep chord of connection with those who are in touch with their own
selves.  For even though you are unique in all the universe, you are also deeply
connected at the deepest core, and this connection has great power.

GrannyMoon's Goddess  Of The Day : LUCINA Saint Lucy's Day (Sweden)

Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM   chic0411

Sun Dec 12, 2010 8:57 am (PST)



GrannyMoon's Goddess Of The Day: LUCINA
Saint Lucy's Day (Sweden)

Themes: Banishing; Kindness; Charity; Health; Protection
Symbols: Candles (light sources)

About Lucina: Lucina means light, and judging by her description and attributes, it is very likely that this
Swedish Goddess was the prototype for Saint Lucy. Lucina is a mother and guardian, offering fertility, protection,
and well-being. In worship, Lucina is often represented by a simple, lit candle.

To Do Today:To chase away winter's oppression and darkness, Saint Lucy's festival is one of lights and charitable
acts. Saint Lucy is the patroness who protects against winter throat infections, and commemorating her (or Lucina)
today keeps one healthy.

Begin the day in Swedish tradition by lighting a candle to represent the goddess's presence. After this a breakfast
of coffee, saffron buns and ginger cookies is traditional fare. Coffee provides energy to give of yourself, saffron
is often used in healing spells, and ginger promotes success in all your endeavors today.

To manifest Lucina's energy and keep the goddess close by today, carry luminescent stones like moonstone or
cat's eye with you, then visit hospitals or elder homes in the spirit of giving of yourself. Lucina will bless those
you visit, and you, with well-being, productivity, and safety.

Family Event De stressing Ritual

Family Event De stressing Ritual



While many times a family gathering may be a happy event that is well planned and anticipated with much joy, it can also sometimes be a nerve-racking event, especially if you are the one hosting. Before the guests arrive, make time for yourself. This should last about an hour, and you should
be the only focus. Take a hot bath with some grounding, calming bath
salts. Center and relax. All the planning is done. The focus is now on
you. In the bathroom, burn candles that give off calming scents.
Ginger-bread, vanilla, lavender, and apple spice are good
aromatherapies. Place a piece of sodalite in your pocket to remind you
to be personable with your guests. A quick prayer to Hestia is helpful
too. ~Boudica

Daily Aromatherapy Tip - Scented Beeswax Heart
.
Scent a room with this decorative accent. Use a cookie cutter to cut a heart shape from a sheet of natural beeswax. Wrap the heart in cheesecloth and infuse it with a few drops of Rose Otto. Place the wrapped heart in a plastic bag for a week. Remove and discard the cloth and glue a ribbon hanger to the back of the heart. You can even decorate it with dried flowers and a bow. Hang it in the kitchen or even the bath!!

Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM   chic0411

Sun Dec 12, 2010 9:00 am (PST)



Mother most amiable, mother most admirable,
mother of good counsel. Virgin most prudent,
virgin most venerable, virgin most renowned.
Mirror of justice, seat of wisdom, cause of our joy,
Mystical rose, tower of David, tower of ivory,
house of gold.

Arl of the covenant, gate of heaven, morning star.
Queen of angels, queen of patriarchs, queen of peace.
~Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Today is the feast of a special Goddess: Tonan, the Great Lady of Aztec Mexico, who has survived even
into present times. But she does not wear her fierce Aztec mask anymore. Rather, she is pictured as a
dark woman, wrapped in a serape, surrounded by flames, the moon under her feet. She is Guadalupe, the
Virgin Mary of Mexico, a figure who absorbs the earlier Goddess and sustains her in the life of her followers.

Guadalupe, the matron goddess of the Mexican people, came to her people through a vision. Juan Diego, a
Nahutl Indian, saw an apparition on a hill where Tonan's temple used to stand. The lady spoke to him, telling
him to build a church to her there. He went to the area bishop and told him of the apparition on Tepeyac hill.
Several times he was rebuffed, until finally he brought a claok full of roses, in midwinter, to the bishop. The
miracle established the desire of the mother to be back among her children, under a new name, but still protective
and loving. That is the miracle celebrated on today's feast - and behind it, the miracle of an important goddess'
survival among subjugated people.

Once the game is over the king and the pawn go back in the same box.
~ Italian Proverb

Once again there are times most of us don't see eye to eye, communications drop, people become
more involved in themselves, ignorance flairs, arguments get heated, and visions are lost....
Remember when it's all said and done....we are no better then the other person!

Stop and Listen to Both Sides....Even if they or you are in the wrong, both always have a view!

Food For Thought

"A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done.

The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.

The only difference between the Republican and Democratic parties is the velocities with which their knees hit the floor when corporations knock on their door. That's the only difference.

When strangers start acting like neighbors... communities are reinvigorated."

Ralph Nader
February 27, 1934 -

He is an American attorney, author, lecturer, political activist, and four-time candidate for President of the United States, having run as a Green Party candidate in 1996 and 2000, and as an independent candidate in 2004 and 2008.

Areas
of particular concern to Nader include consumer protection,
humanitarianism, environmentalism, and democratic government. With
grassroots democracy civic actions, green politics and left-wing politics, he is a reputed populist, harking to 19th century
American populists and movements like Henry George's Geoism, or single
land tax, which he referred to in his 2004 presidential election
platform.

Space Weather News: Geminid Meteors and a "Spiral Asteroid"

Posted by: "Ash" mhc4sure@yahoo.com   mhc4sure

Sun Dec 12, 2010 3:22 pm (PST)



Space Weather News for Dec. 12, 2010
http://spaceweather.com

GEMINID
METEOR SHOWER: The Geminid meteor shower peaks this year on Dec. 13th
and 14th.  Forecasters say meteor rates could exceed 100 per hour for
observers under dark rural skies.  For best results, start your meteor
watch on Monday night, Dec. 13th, around midnight.  Keep an eye out for Geminids
until sunrise on Tuesday, Dec. 14th. There's no special trick to seeing
the Geminids.  Bundle up for maximum warmth, go outside, lie down and
look up. Geminids can appear in any part of the sky, but all their tails
will point back to the radiant in the constellation Gemini.  Check http://spaceweather.com for updates, images and a sky map.

SPIRAL
ASTEROID:  Put this in the "weird" category.  Main belt  asteroid (596)
Scheila has suddenly developed an apparently spiral-shaped tail.  The
surprising structure might be a result of a recent asteroid-asteroid
collision, or perhaps a sign that this asteroid is really a comet.  An
image of Scheila is featured on today's edition of http://spaceweather.com.

UNIQUE CHRISTMAS GIFT:  Would you like to put friends and family in closer touch with the night sky?  SpaceWeather PHONE makes a unique Christmas gift for the stargazer in your life.  More information at http://spaceweatherphone.com ...

Pagan Leader Summit Announces New Label for "Paganism"

Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM   chic0411

Sun Dec 12, 2010 4:17 pm (PST)



Pagan Leader Summit Announces New Label for "Paganism"
December 11, 2010 tpennyroyal Leave a comment Go to comments
A year after their fruitful trip the Parliament for the World's
Religions, Pagan leaders Andras Corbin Arthur, Phyllis Currott, Angie
Bunchanan, and Ed Hubbard led an intensive Pagan Leader Summit last
month to redefine what Pagans are called in the United States.

The Summit took place in a remote, hermetically sealed bunker that is the standard meeting location that these leaders, along with many
others, form a secret "Grey Council" that routinely meets to decide the
fates of Pagans everywhere. Selena Fox, after dropping her hood to
reveal her face to the light, was excited about the new label for her
religion. "Re-Indigenious-Neo-Tribalism-Shaman-a-Long-a-Ding-Dong is
something I can get behind, or at least make a great chant about",
Selena was quoted.

The other members of the council made nods of approval, high fives,
and slaps on the behind at their accomplishment. Ed Hubbard, CEO of
Witchschool was especially happy at the idea of making t-shirts. The
only person absent was Starhawk, who had left the Grey Council early on
due to its lack of consensus process, and unavailability of tasty
organic macaroni and cheese.

When T. Thorn Coyle was asked by an anonymous member of the Council
if this was a decision that should be made with a wider conversation to
the general Pagan population they replied, "I am on 5,000 Pagan yahoo
lists. Even if we posted something to all of the lists, only 5 people
will respond. How many lists do you lurk on?" After Thorn led the
assembly in a moving meditation based on Michael Jackson' Thriller, the new name was put to a vote.

Unfortunately we will never know what would have happened, since the
proceedings were cut short but a concerted tactical strike led by Oberon Zell-Ravenheart comprised of 10% Grey School Wizardry staff and the
rest an assemblage of Zell-Ravenheart's past lovers. "Me, or Isaac
[Bonewits], I don't remember who, came up with the name 'Neo-Pagan' and
that is good enough damn it!" Outnumbered with odds of 100 to 1, the
Summit was adjourned and the members made a getaway when bunker,
revealed to be in the shape of a giant skull, rose out of the swamp and
took flight.
