Merry Meet all! I'm Deborah aka Faeth Gale. I'm living in Missouri having moved here from the East coast. It has been culture shock! I was completely "out" on the eastern side. (I'm born and raised in PA, moved to NY, and then to DC.) At my job in DC I was asked to give a blessing along with a minister who worked with me at our Thanksgiving get-together. Here, I hide. I have to say on an individual basis the few people I've told have been very nice and non-judgmental. So, I'm careful. I DO NOT mean to bash. I just live in the Bible-belt is all.

As I said, I was raised in PA on a farm, so I've always been aware of nature and the seasons. My father says you can't put your hands in the dirt and not be Pagan of some sort. My mother's side is Native American and Scottish, my father's is German. While I've been Pagan as long as I remember I have been to many different churches and many different cultures. I still consider myself "just" Pagan. By that I mean I don't have a tradition. I really want more structure and balance. I'm trying to research/find out more about the Georgian tradition. I'd like to learn more about the God(s). I'm very drawn to Persephone and know about many of the Goddesses, but the God information is lacking in me. I'm learning though! I'd welcome and help and knowledge anyone is prepared to give me.

As for my mundane life; I love to crochet, I read everything I get my hands on. I write upon occasion, love photography – mostly nature, not so much portraits, currently infatuated with urban decay. I am engaged to a wonderful man and together we have 4 wonderful kitties, all of the rescued/stray.

Well, that's a lot of information! I hope I didn't bore everyone do death! I tend to be a bit verbose, lol. I'll answer any questions anyone has, so just ask. I'm very happy to be here. And I like to say thank you for having me!

Blessings and Be Well!

Merry meet and welcome to our group, Faeth Gale.

I know what you mean about living in the bible belt. I have relatives in some of those states and it is hard to 'be yourself' sometimes.

We have a Georgian Priestess named Fran who helps run the list, and if I had to name the most intelligent person I know, it would be her. You will learn much from this great group of people.

Dearest Stephanie,

One must be true to oneself. If we fail to be true to ourselves it tends to
weaken us in so many ways.

After your mundane, family influenced wedding I presume that you will go on a
honeymoon at some point.

I would suggest that you and spouse go on a grand honeymoon and have the most
Magickal Handfasting possible. The family need never be the wiser!

Brightest Blessings on your marriage day and always,
Stormy )O(

Life is a journey,
enjoy the ride ~
just avoid kissing the trail!

I am getting married in 9 days, but due to having a super religious
family on both my side and his we are having a simple traditional wedding (even
though are rings are Celtic lol) what I was curious about is what can I do
before the wedding or immediately after that will help since we have chosen not
to do a handfasting to keep drama down in the family?

Unfortunately no we cannot do that, as funds are not available, and we have
no high priestess any where near us, because I thought of doing something at
home afterwards privately with friends who can handle it and doing a
handfasting that way.

Elder's Meditation of the Day

"So we are connected to the moon. That gives us power, a connection to the Earth and the moon, men don't know about."

-- Cecilia Mitchell, MOHAWK

The Elders tell us that the Woman has access to special powers. The Earth Mother gives her love in a special way to the Woman. The Moon also gives special powers to the Woman. She uses these powers to nurture, heal, and guide the people.

Great Spirit, today, give a special Blessing to our Women.

10 Spiritual Lessons from NASCAR

Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com   nightshayde99

Sun Jun 12, 2011 12:47 am (PDT)





1. Going in Circles Does Have Meaning
There's a joke among racing detractors that a race is just 40 cars each making a left turn, then another left turn, then another, then...well, you get the idea. But in NASCAR, each lap around the track counts for something and builds toward an eventual finale. Race fans notice the small changes and minor wins/losses with each lap. And drivers know that each lap is crucial because it determines the position for the next lap, and so on.

When we feel like each week is just like the last, we can lose sight of how our daily efforts lead us to the next thing, which will then lead us to the next thing, all accumulating into a life well lived. A circular life requires making the most of each moment because of how it fits into the larger scheme.

2. Go Slow to Go Fast
At first glance, NASCAR seems to be all about speed, with cars frequently exceeding 200 mph. But what's often missed is the methodical effort that goes into traveling at such incredible speeds. Between races, shops are full of mechanics and engineers who do lots of testing, pore over data, make myriad calibrations, and then test the adjustments before doing it all over again. They take the slow time to get things just right, which results in a much faster car come race day.

It's helpful to remember the motto "go slow to go fast." When we're tempted to rush from one opportunity to the next, recalling our values, considering our life goals and prayerfully discerning direction can feel like moving in slow motion. But these practices enhance our progress through life because they enable us to make choices that stick and that reap longterm rewards.

3. It's a Wide Open Field
A NASCAR race puts all competitors into one weekly event in one spot. Some fans pull for only one driver. Others have a favorite as well as other drivers whose victories will put a smile on the fan's face. And some fans pull hard against certain drivers. Part of the beauty of NASCAR is that having all drivers in one place at one time creates all sorts of possibilities.

When it comes to growing in faith, we live in a world where just about everything is available at once. With the internet and our shrinking globe, we can come in contact with spiritual practices and approaches like never before. In this wide open field, it's helpful to consider what your approach will be. Will you find meaning through loyalty to one tradition? Will you supplement with truth from other sources? Will your approach be to sample widely and frequently? Or something else?
4. There's a Driver Inside Each of Us
Face it, NASCAR drivers do something that each of us does every day: they drive. Granted their cars are much cooler, much faster, and much more expensive than ours. Still anyone over 15 knows how to drive, and the NASCAR drivers do on a grander scale something we do on our trips to market or to soccer practice. Much of the appeal of the sport has to do with how common it seems. In fact, companies like The Richard Petty Driving School will teach ordinary people how to operate a NASCAR vehicle before letting students take a few laps around the track at very high speeds.

Faith is not for just some people, it's for all people. We may look at high-profile preachers, teachers, sages, and saints with admiration, but let's not forget that we have our own opportunities to exercise faith where we are. And it's the ordinary practice of faith that truly makes the world go 'round.
5. Success Takes a Team
When the evening sports news reports the finishing order for a NASCAR event, they list the names of individual drivers. But anyone around the sport knows that no driver can win (or even start) a race without a team. In fact, each NASCAR driver is part of an army of effort. A NASCAR team has a driver, mechanics, merchandising experts, truck drivers who haul the cars from one race to the next, pilots, accountants, and the list goes on. Success involves lots of people, lots of relationships, and lots of teamwork.

It's good to remember that life is not a solo sport. We each have an army of supporters behind us: parents, friends, spouse, children, neighbors, relatives, and the list goes on. Not only that, but each of us is also enlisted in the support army for many other people. We all help each other succeed.
6. Races Are Won or Lost in the Pits
The animated movie Cars is about a silly car named Lightning McQueen who fails to win an important race because he wouldn't pit long enough to take on new tires. He chose to just "gas and go" as his tires wore down before finally blowing on the last lap.

NASCAR drivers know the importance of timely pit stops--opportunities to take on fuel, refresh their tires, and make adjustments. Many races are won or lost in the pits. Like smart drivers who take pit stops, we need to take regular time for rest and recreation. But while NASCAR pit stops are a frenzy of action, real Sabbath is time to focus not on doing, but on being. The book of Genesis says that God gave humans six days to work and the seventh as a Sabbath. When we take a day a week to just be, we can go for the long haul with faith and fullness.
7. Stay in Touch
In recent years, serious race fans have discovered the fun of listening in on the radio communication between a driver and his crew chief. Instead of listening to the second-hand comments from an announcer, these fans want to hear what those involved in the race are saying to one another. The conversations between driver and crew chief involve two different perspectives, each from people who want desperately to win. The driver is in the thick of the field and has access to the smallest details, while the crew chief has the wider angle and can take in the activity of the whole track.

Staying in touch spiritually means communicating our day-to-day details with God while listening for God's voice and perspective on our lives. This kind of communication encourages us, keeps us from getting tangled up in the mundane and provides a perspective of larger purpose for our lives.
8. Expect a Few Bumps
Some of the most exciting moments of racing come when one car touches another. Sometimes a stiff bumper tap goes barely noticed; other times a slight nudge between two cars sends both cars spinning and can lead to all-out mayhem. NASCAR drivers know bumps, nudges, and taps are to be expected and that anticipating those hits helps avoid an all-out crash. While even experienced drivers cannot avoid every crash, their expectation of contact minimizes the negative consequences of contact.

While most people would like life to be a smooth ride, the truth is that life is full of bumps and bruises. When our spirituality leaves no room for disappointment, we can find ourselves spinning in despair. But life's bumps don't have to send us into the wall. By factoring in the possibility (probability!) of encountering trouble, we can be on the lookout for it, avoid it if possible, or at least adjust when we do get hit. This is what the Hebrew book of Job is about: sometimes bad things happen to even the best of people. If we think the aim of life is to just be happy, then we'll be disappointed when we get bumped. But if our outlook is that life is about growth and development, bumps become great opportunities to deepen our character and craft us into the kind of person we truly want to be.

9. Sometimes It Just Comes Down to Luck
A fascinating and sometimes frustrating aspect of NASCAR is the role of luck. A driver can be leading almost the entire race and have what is obviously the strongest car that day and still not win. A wreck at the rear of the field can bring out an untimely caution flag, a tire can blow, or any number of misfortunes can mix things up at just the right or wrong moment. While no driver wins without skill and preparation, luck plays an incredibly strong role in the outcome. Luck can cause a strong car to suffer a poor finish and luck can propel a mediocre car to a strong finish, or even a victory.

In our spiritual lives, we need to make room for luck--both good and bad. Attributing our success to some element of good luck keeps us humble by reminding us that we really are not in control. When bad luck comes our way, we needn't blame God for misfortune. Instead, we can use those times as moments to learn more about ourselves and to develop empathy for others who will encounter misfortune.
10. There's Room for Everybody
NASCAR has a reputation as the sport of rednecks. But it's also the sport of CEOs, housewives, movie stars, software engineers, and blue bloods. With the Goodyear blimp vantage point, you can see how various classes, cultures, and customs mesh into one event. The grandstands are filled with all kinds of average joes who enjoy experiencing the race from a deafening proximity. Luxury boxes are home to wealthy socialites who want to talk, do business, or catch up on the latest gossip from their soundproofed confines. But the real multicultural milieu can be found in the infield. This is where RVs, pickup trucks, and motor coaches form one giant tailgate party to which anyone who likes racing is invited. It's where people of different stripes and different strokes get to know and appreciate each other.

If all kinds of people can enjoy a car race, it makes sense that all kinds of people can enjoy the world in which we live. Spiritually sensitive people focus attention more on what we have in common than our differences. Differences can divide, but when we give ourselves permission to spend time with and get to know people who are different, we usually find that we really aren't all that different on the matters most important. Being in community with folks who are different than us doesn't require we become like them or they become like us--it means that we talk with, learn from, and grow in appreciation for one another.

Summer Solstice

Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com   nightshayde99

Sun Jun 12, 2011 12:48 am (PDT)



Summer Solstice

When the Sun is at its peak in the sky at our Summer Solstice, Earth is as close as possible to the Sun. Litha is the ancient Germanic name for summer and the time to celebrate its warmth. This important time in the solar year is when the Oak King, God of Light, hands over reign to the Holly King, God of Darkness, who rules from this point forward for the other half of the year.

At this time when light will begin to wane, decorate your altar and house with sunflowers. Place honey on your altar to represent life's sweetness. Light the same gold candle for a short time for four or five nights over this period. On the last evening, after the candle is safely snuffed, wrap what is left of it in yellow or gold colored cloth with sunflower seeds. Tie the parcel with a yellow ribbon and keep it somewhere safe for protection and good fortune until next Litha.

Make a sunflower solstice cake decorated with yellow icing and sunflower seeds to share with your friends over a glass of mead. Enjoy time outdoors, allowing the Sun to warm your body as you relax, walk, or read. Bid farewell to the Sun god for a few months and be assured, he will return.

Total Lunar Eclipse on June 15, 2011

Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com   nightshayde99

Sun Jun 12, 2011 12:49 am (PDT)





Total Lunar Eclipse on June 15, 2011
A total lunar eclipse will be visible in areas such as the Africa, southern Asia and Australia on June 15, 2011. This will be the first of two lunar eclipses in 2011 and the third of all eclipses that occur throughout the year.
Will the Eclipse be Visible?
The June 15 total lunar eclipse will be visible to observers in Africa, southern Asia, and Australia. It is said that this eclipse will be one of the darkest eclipses ever. It will be second only to the July 16, 2000 total lunar eclipse. During the totality of the eclipse, the moon will pass in front of the center of the earth’s shadow. The best location to view the eclipse will be in the northernmost region of the “entire-eclipse zone” in central Asia, as well as Eastern Europe and northeastern Africa.
Many people in South America, Western Africa and Europe will view the eclipse at moon rise, while Eastern Asia and Australia will view the eclipse at moonset. Western Europe will see the moon rise already totally eclipsed and covering a portion of the ninth-magnitude global cluster NGC 6401, while those in southern Africa and Australia will see the moon slip past the cluster untouched. It is important to note that in order to see the cluster, you will need at least a 100-mm telescope.
When will the Eclipse Occur?
The eclipse’s total phase lasts for 100 minutes. The penumbral eclipse (“P1”) begins at 17:24:37 Universal Time (UT) and the partial eclipse (“U1”) begins at 18:22:57 UT. The total eclipse (“U2”) begins at 19:22:29 UT and the point of the greatest eclipse occurs at 20:12:36 UT. The umbral eclipse magnitude will reach 1.71 at the instant of greatest eclipse, making it one of the darkest eclipses in history. The total eclipse (“U3”) ends at 21:02:42, followed by the end of the partial eclipse (“U4”) at 22:02:14 UT. The penumbral eclipse (“P4”) ends at 23:00:41 UT.
Eclipses in 2011
The total lunar eclipse on June 15, 2011 is one of six eclipses that occur in 2011. The full list of eclipses in 2011 includes:

A partial solar eclipse on January 4.
A partial solar eclipse on June 1.
A partial solar eclipse on July 1.
A partial solar eclipse on November 25.
A total lunar eclipse on December 10.

timeanddate.com will provide information on more eclipses close to the time of their occurrence.
Note: Universal Time (UT) is a timescale based on the earth’s rotation. UT is expected to be about 0.27 seconds behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) during most of June.

The noise of the world around us often drowns out the simple whisper of human truths. You will hear these truths if you allow yourself to honor Nature and spend time quietly and without expectation. Sit under a tree and watch grass move in the breeze, or silently watch the ocean, or a lake, or a field of grain.

If you live in a city, or cannot get out, quietly watch a house plant as it breathes. Listen and do not judge what you hear, simply allow it to bubble up and reach the surface of your consciousness

Memories of our shared heritage often emerge through drumming, chanting or dancing. Even though you may have forgotten, the cells of your body remember these ancient truths.

Wisdom floats through the air on the powerful rhythms of a drum beat. The sound opens your being. You need not practice, or be a musician, you have only to pick up a drum and begin. Your body will remember. . . . you are a human, it is part of you.

Honoring the Goddess in drumming, dance, chant and song should not be rehearsed, it should flow from you as an offering of your essence. It is not your skill that makes it powerful, it is your spirit

A Remembering Chant
*
I sing to the Goddess
my voice is strong
I drum to the Goddess
an ancient song
*
I do not know the words
I simply make a sound
my hand strikes the drum
remembering an ancient sound
*
I dance to the Goddess
my feet upon the Earth
I sway to find the rhythm
of an ancient birth
*
I dance, I sing, I drum, I chant
the memories grow clear
I dance, I sing, I drum, I chant
and the Goddess is here

For re-membering, it is often helpful to light a candle and gaze into the flame. Firelight is as old as human history. When the flickering light of a candle is perceived by your brain, it opens passage ways and paths to long forgotten genetic memories.
See the memories dance and shine in the timeless light of a candle. Ancient memories waiting to be discovered by you.

We are our ancestors, their experiences and memories live within us. They are in our brains, in our cells, in our marrow, they are the sacred core of our very being. Reconnecting with these ancient memories fills one with a deep and unshakeable knowing. The powerful realization at a gut level, that all humanity, all life and all energy is connected in a magical web of inter-dependence.

We are all cells in the body of the Goddess, each unique, each with a special task, and special gifts. Knowing this at your core, brings peace, harmony and unimaginable joy.

You never know how much you know until you know how much you'll never know.

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear-I will choose Free Will.
"Free Will" ~Rush~
