Daily Feng Shui Tip For Tuesday, May 10
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Tue May 10, 2011 9:56 am (PDT)
Daily Feng Shui Tip by Ellen Whitehurst for Tuesday, May 10
This excerpt was taken from one of Buddhism's sacred texts, 'Ten Wheel Sutra': 'All comfort, happiness, and peace in the world come from making offerings to the Triple Gem the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha.' Today I thought I'd share one of those blessed offerings so that we might all share in some good Buddha Shui! Since Buddha was considered a bright light, I thought it appropriate to share a Shui Light Offering. Be assured that light offerings can be candles, lamps, electric lights or even butter or oil lamps. The Buddhists remind us, however, that before putting on any lights we should always get our motivation straight. Basically this means whatever you wish for yourself you also wish for every sentient being. Then you should think of a specific project for which you want blessings and success. Once you've asked that all beings be released from suffering and have gained happiness, then you can turn on a light and say the Buddhist mantra 'Oh Ah Hum' three times so that the light offerings remain positive and are not usurped by wandering spirits. Once all the lights are on, visualize making offerings to all the Buddhas and then dedicate your efforts to manifest your own innate awareness of the Triple Gem and your own positive potential. The power of this practice cannot be understated and the merit and blessing you receive is often overwhelming. Go ahead, if you got em, light em. To the Buddha!
The light of a hundred stars cannot equal the light of the Moon.
Love Each Day,
Lady Nightshayde

Ten Activities for Pagan Kids

Ten Activities for Pagan Kids
By Patti Wigington, About.com Guide

kids in goddess religions
family and parenting
For many Pagans and Wiccans, it's hard to find kid-friendly activities that celebrate our spiritual path. Believe it or not, sharing your beliefs with your kids is easier than you think. After all, you're the parent, so you can lead by example. Show your children what you do, and they'll emulate you in their own way. Teaching by doing is the key. By living a Pagan life, you'll show your kids what it means to be Pagan or Wiccan or whatever your family's path is.
These very simple activities are easy enough that you can do them with nearly any child, so have fun with them!
1. Make a Wand
Image (c) Vincent Besnault/Getty Images
What's not to love about making your own wand? Take your kids out in the woods for a nature walk, and ask them to keep an eye on the ground for the "right" stick. The wand should be about the same length as the child's forearm. Once your child has a stick, bring it home and decorate it with flowers, ribbons, glitter, even crystals. Hold a consecration ceremony so your child can claim the wand as his or her own.

2. Drumming

Everyone likes to drum, and the louder the better. If you don't have a professional drum, don't worry -- that's why the gods made coffee cans. Let your kids experiment with containers of different sizes and shapes, and see which ones make the most interesting sounds. Fill an empty water bottle with dried beans to make an impromptu rattle. Two thick dowels tapped together make a percussion instrument as well. Have a family drum circle night, and let everyone bang away to raise energy.
3. Meditation
Image (c) Mike Powell/Getty Images
Sure, the idea of teaching a toddler to meditate sounds crazy, but you'd be surprised what kids can do if they're interested. Even if it's just two minutes lying in the grass looking at trees, it's not a bad idea to start your youngsters meditating early. By the time they get to be adults with stressful lives, meditation will be second nature to them. Use breathing as a way of teaching counting to small children. Elementary-school age kids can usually handle a ten- to fifteen-minute guided meditation.
4. My Very Own Altar

If you have a family altar, that's great! Encourage your kids to have an altar of their own in their bedrooms -- this is the place they can put all the things that are special to them. While you may not want a tribe of Ninja Turtles on your family altar, if your son says they're his Personal Guardians, give him his own place to put them! Add to the collection with interesting things your child finds on nature walks, shells from trips to the beach, family photos, etc. Be sure that young children don't have candles or incense on their altar.
5. Moon Crafts

Kids love the moon, and they love to wave at it and say hello to it (my oldest claimed the moon as her own when she was five). If your family does any sort of moon rituals, such as an Esbat Rite or New Moon ceremony, have the kids decorate a mirror with lunar symbols, or make a Moon Braid to hang in a window, and use it on your altar during family moon celebrations. Bake a batch of Moon Cookies to use during Cakes & Ale ceremonies.
6. God's Eyes
Image (c) Patti Wigington 2007
These are an easy decoration to make and can be adapted seasonally, simply by using different colors. All you need is a pair of sticks and some yarn or ribbon. Make a God's Eye in yellows or reds for solar celebrations, green and brown for an earth ceremony, or in the colors of your family's household deities. Hang them on a wall or place on an altar.
7. Salt Dough Ornaments
Image © Eising/Getty Images
Salt dough is one of the easiest things in the world to make, and you can create just about anything from it. You can follow our easy Salt Dough recipe, and use it with cookie cutters to make your own Sabbat ornaments. After your ornaments have cooled, paint them and decorate with your favorite Pagan and Wiccan symbols.
After you've painted them, seal them with clear varnish. If you're planning to hang them, poke a hole through the ornament BEFORE baking them. Then after you've varnished them, run a ribbon or thread through the hole.
8. Wheel of the Year Journal
Image © Ciaran Griffin/Getty Images
Get your child a blank notebook, and have them keep track of the patterns of nature. Note the dates that the first buds appear in spring, when birds begin to migrate, and when the weather changes. If your child is old enough to surf the Internet, have him predict the weather for the next few days and then compare it to your local weather forecast -- and then see who's right! As the Wheel of the Year turns, your child can help you prepare for upcoming Sabbat celebrations.

9. Mythic Tales
Image (c) Sean Justice/Getty Images
Many parents aren't really sure how to incorporate their Pagan beliefs into their children's upbringing, so story time is a great way to do this. Teach your child the myths and legends of your pantheon. Storytelling is an age-old tradition, so why not use it to educate your kids about what you believe? Tell them tales of gods and heroes, fairies, and even your own ancestors.
10. Singing and Chanting
Image (c) Getty Images
There are a ton of great songs out there for Pagan kids, and most of them are really simple. You can make up your own with some simple rhymes and a little bit of ingenuity. Clap your hands, stomp your feet, and celebrate the gifts of the earth. If you want to find pre-recorded music for your kids, read some of the Pagan and Wiccan magazines; there are nearly always ads for Pagan musicians and their work.

Be assured, Sidhe Wolf, the door is very much open. I am talking to both of them. But for both of them, habits from the bad old days keep getting in their way. Once I get past the hurt (no easy task some days), I just feel sad for both of them. They could get past whatever is eating at them, but they choose to wear their chains. It tends to spark a fear in me that I will do the same with the chains that still bind me some days...but only some days.

Jay,
You've pegged it - the chains that make them treat you as they do are a far
heavier burden on them than on those around them. If only they knew how
much freer they would be without them, how much it would improve their own
lives and by 'fringe benefit', those of their loved ones. And yet, one
ultimately realises that people who behave so do it out of their own pain,
fear, etc., often brainwashed into them as a child. But whether brainwashed
or consciously chosen, such behaviours can cause a lot of pain and
destruction...
BB,
Miki

Fw: DailyOM: Asking for What You Want

Today's DailyOM brought to you by:

Asking for What You Want
Cocreating with the Universe
So many of us are taught to accept what we are given and not even to dream of anything more.
Most people don’t always fully realize that we all have within us the ability to cocreate our lives with the universe. So many of us are taught to accept what we are given and not even to dream of anything more. But our hopes and dreams are the universe whispering to us, planting an idea of what’s possible while directing us toward the best use of our gifts. The universe truly wants to give us our hearts’ desires, but we need to be clear about what they are and ask for them.
To ask for something does not mean to beg or plead from a place of lack or unworthiness. It’s like placing an orderâ€"we don’t need to beg the salesperson for what we want or prove to them that we deserve to have it. It is their job to give us what we ask for; we only have to tell them what we want. Once we have a clear vision of what we desire, we simply step into the silent realm where all possibilities exist and let our desires be known. Whatever methods we use to become still, it is important that we find the quiet space between our thoughts.
From that still and quiet place, we can announce our intentions to the pure energy of creation. By imagining all the details from every angle, including scent, color, and how it would feel to have it, we design our dreams to our specifications. Similar to dropping a pebble into a pond, the ripples created by our thoughts travel quickly from this place of stillness, echoing out into the world to align and orchestrate all the necessary details to bring our desires into manifestation. Before leaving this wonderful space to come back to the world, release any attachment to the outcome and express gratitude. By doing this daily, we focus our thoughts and our energy while regularly mingling with the essence that makes it possible to build the life of our dreams.
