Goddess of The Day: Pele Kamehameha Day (Hawaii)

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

Goddess of The Day: Pele
Kamehameha Day (Hawaii)
 
Themes:  Unity; Tradition; Protection; Creativity; Change
Symbols: Fire; Red-colored items
 
About Pele:  In Hawaii, Pele's fires develop and redevelop the islands through volcanic activity.  It is this creative force that comes into our lives today, cleansing, transforming, and rebuilding, augmented by summer's fiery energy.
 
According to local legend, it is unwise to take any souvenir from Pele's mountain without asking or leaving a gift, lest bad luck follow you everywhere.  She is zealously protective of her lands and her children.  Traditional offerings include coins, strawberries, hair, sugarcane, flowers, tobacco, brandy, and silk.
 
To Do Today: King Kamehameha united the Hawaiian people, protecting commoners from the brutality of overlords, much as Pele unites them through her creative, protective power.  This festival commemorates him and the traditions of Hawaii through arts and crafts, parades, hula dancing, and luaus.  At home, this might translate into having some tropical foods served steaming hot (the heat represents Pele's activating energy).  For example, eat pineapple fried in brown sugar for sweet harmony.  Or consume fresh strawberries soaked in brandy to ignite your inner fires with Pele's inspiration.  Finally, wear something red today to energize Pele's attributes in your efforts all day long.

Candle Prosperity Spell

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

Candle Prosperity Spell
.
Inscribe your wishes onto a
green or gold candle. Be as specific as possible, and clearly visualize
your dreams as you do this. Anoint the entire candle with jasmine oil,
feeling the energy of prosperity seep into the wax with the oil.
Sprinkle some nutmeg over the oil. Light the candle, seeing the flame
and its light releasing brilliant green and gold energies. Clearly
visualize the wishes and dreams you inscribed on the candle being
released to the universe, then, for as long a period as you can, hold
the image of your dreams coming to fruition in your mind. When you can
no longer hold the image, release it to the flame and allow the candle
to burn itself out. By: Kristin Madden

WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!!

One of those lovely mails which reaffirms our faith in humanity all over again

One day a man saw a old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.

Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help her for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.

He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put in you.

He said, `I`m here to help you, ma`am. Why don`t you wait in the car where it`s warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.`

Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.

As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.

Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.

He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, `And think of me.`

He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.

A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan .

After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.

There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: `You don`t owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I`m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.`

Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.

Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard....

She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, `Everything`s going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.`

There is an old saying `What goes around comes around.` Today I sent you this story, and I`m asking you to pass it on. Let this light shine.

Don`t delete it, don`t return it. Simply, pass this on to a friend
