New Place to Get Metaphysical Merchandise

Hello!
My name is Alison, and I own a thrift store in Howell, NJ. I am a little different then most thrift stores because we buy, sell and trade with our customers; so we're kind of like a mix between a thrift store and a co-op.
I have a wonderful customer who I bought a metaphysical store close out from. I sold it all right away, and it was really popular. My customers told me that the nearest metaphysical stores were farther away and hard for them to get to. So, I have started a small section with a selection of metaphysical merchandise. I can also special order anything you need, and have a customer catalog as well.
I get a new shipment today, and just wanted to let everyone know! :). My address is listed below; I look forward to meeting you soon!

Recent Right Wing talk about Goddess - Goddess Herstory in the Makin

Friends, Goddess Advocates,
I think it's important to study what happened in the past, but here's
what's happening today in our country when the extremists on the Right
Wing talk about Goddess -
Stock Market Crashes Because Japanese Emperor had sex with the Sun Goddess -
http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=3yIgZPTqUIc
Statue of Liberty, Goddess of Liberty is a demon -
http://www.rightwingwatch.org/ content/rick- perry-partners- apostle-who- thinks-statue- liberty-demonic- idol
The people saying the above are associated with candidates running for
president, like Bachman, and others who might run, like Rick Perry and
Sarah Palin.
One of the other ideas being floated is Oprah is the Harbinger of the
Anti-christ.

Get Ready for Lammas!: Day 2: Lammas Folklore

Get Ready for Lammas!: Day 2: Lammas Folklore

Get Ready for Lammas!
Day 2: Lammas Folklore
From Patti Wigington, your Guide to Paganism / Wicca
Lammas has a long and rich history of legends and folklore. This time of year is associated with the early harvest of grain, and thus with the cycle of life, death and rebirth. As the crops ready for harvest, it's a time when many Wiccans and Pagans honor the spirit of the grain. From the myths of the final sheaf to the tales of John Barleycorn, Lammas is a time to celebrate the magic and power of the first harvest.
Lammas Folklore
Did you know that in the Shetland Islands, farmers believed that the grain harvest should only take place during a waning moon? Or that it's customary to give someone a pair of gloves at Lammastide? These are just a couple of the fascinating legends and lore that surround the season of Lammas...Lammas Folklore
The Spirit of the Grain
It's not uncommon to find a spiritual connection to the fields, particularly in agricultural societies. Learn about ways that the grain gods are honored in different communities around the world... Spirit of the Grain
The Legend of John Barleycorn
In English folklore, John Barleycorn is a character who represents the crop of barley harvested each autumn. He symbolizes beer and whiskey -- and their effects. In the traditional folksong, the character of John Barleycorn endures all kinds of indignities, most of which correspond to the cyclic nature of planting, growing, harvesting, and then death... John Barleycorn
The Final Sheaf
In many societies, the cutting of the final sheaf of grain was indeed cause for celebration. Corn, ivy, wheat and other crops were gathered together with great ceremony as the final sheaf was collected. Once this last sheaf was out of the fields, bread baking could begin in anticipation of the coming winter... The Final Sheaf
Tomorrow: Celebrating the Lammas Season
Tomorrow, we'll look at some of the ways that the early harvest is celebrated, and meet some of the deities of the fields.

Fw: DailyOM: Things We Cant Control
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411

DailyOM - Allow, Trust
Today's DailyOM brought to you by:
Â

July 21, 2011
Things We Can’t Control
Allow, Trust
We develop grace as we learn with the guiding hand of the universe, life will unfold exactly the way it should.
The idea of trusting the universe is a popular one these days, but many of us don’t know what this really means and we often have a hard time doing it. This is partly because the story of humankind is most often presented as a story about struggle, control, and survival, instead of one of trust and collaboration with the universe. Yet, in truth, we need to adhere to both ideas in this life.
On the one hand, there is much to be said about exerting control over our environment. We created shelter to protect ourselves from the elements. We hunted for animals and invented agriculture to feed ourselves. We built social infrastructures to protect ourselves and create community. This is how we survive and grow as a civilization. However, it is also clear that there are plenty of things that we cannot control, no matter how hard we try, and we often receive support from an unseen force â€" a universe that provides us with what we cannot provide for ourselves.
It is a good idea to take responsibility for the things in life that we can control or create. We work so we can feed, clothe, and shelter our loved ones and ourselves. We manifest our dreams and visions in physical form with hard work and forethought. But at a certain point, when we have done all that we can, we must let go and allow the universe to take over. This requires trust. It requires a trust that runs deeper than just expecting things to turn out the way we want them to. Sometimes they will, and sometimes they won’t. We develop equanimity and grace as we learn to trust that, with the guiding hand of the universe, life will unfold exactly the way it should. We are engaged in an ongoing relationship with a universe that responds to our thoughts and actions.

Horse God - On the 23rd day of the 6th lunar montyh, the Chinese honor the Horse-god (Mawang).
Blackburn, Bonnie & Leofranc Holford-Strevens, The Oxford Companion to the Year, Oxford University Press 1999
Â
St Mary Magdalene - Mary Magdalene is the fallen woman who washed Christ's feet with her tears and dried them with her hair; thus she is the patron saint of prostitutes. Because of her long hair she is the patron of hairdressers, and because her emblem is the ointment jar, she is the patron of apothecaries. She was also invoked for help with fasting. The red rose is her plant. For a new treatment of her story, see Clytie Kinstler's The Moon Under Her Feet.
Â
She may have been a devotee of Astarte. There is some connection between the seven demons which afflicted her, and the seven initiations Inanna undergoes in her descent to the Underworld and the seven veils which Salome wears in her famous dance. The village of Migdala (from whence her name) is the Village of Doves, which connects her with Anahit, the Persian goddess honored with a sacrifice of doves and roses at her midsummer festival (see Vartavar, July 28).
Â
She has long been associated with dance and music. In Normandy, in the thirteenth century, nuns danced on her feast-day.
Â
If it rains today, the English say that Mary Magdalen is washing her handkerchief to go to her cousin St James's Fair in three days time. But heavy rain now can be disastrous for the harvest and the Cumbrians say:
Â
A Magdalen flood
Never did good.

Â
Tristram and Iseult
One of the greatest legends of Cornwall is the tragic tale of Tristram and Iseult â€" sometimes known as Tristan and Isolde. The story is that Tristram, the nephew of King Mark of Cornwall, was mortally wounded in a fight where he killed the brother of the Queen of Ireland. As he was expected to die, he was sent out to sea in a boat without sails. By chance, the boat reached the shores of Ireland, where he was nursed back to health by the beautiful Iseult, daughter of the King of Ireland.
Â
To cut a long story short, Tristram could not stay in Ireland as he was responsible for the death of the Queen’s brother, so he returned to Cornwall. A little later, King Mark sent him back to Ireland to bring back Iseult who was to be his queen. On the way back, the couple accidentally drank a love potion intended for Mark and Iseult on their wedding night.
Â
The young couple fell deeply in love and carried on an illicit affair even after she married. King Mark became suspicious and although Iseult managed to allay these suspicions, Tristram left the country. He married a Breton girl, who was also called Iseult, but he never stopped loving the Queen of Cornwall. When he was wounded in battle, he sent for her to heal his wounds and asked that a white sail be flown from the ship if she was on board when it returned.
Â
Tristram’s jealous wife told him that the returning ship flew only a black sail and he died of grief. When Iseult heard of his death, she died of a broken heart. A cross at Castle Dor is said to mark the grave of Tristram.

Goddess For Today: Isolt La Fete de Medeline (France)
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Thu Jul 21, 2011 8:31 pm (PDT)
Goddess For Today: Isolt
La Fete de Medeline (France)
Themes: Love; Fertility; Sexuality
Symbols: White items
About Isolt: Known throughout Western Europe as the lover of Tristan, Isolt of the White Hands is a Celtic Goddess who encourages devoted love and improves sexual expression within a relationship. Close studies of her stories indicate three women who held this role, alluding to an ancient triple Goddess whose role changed with time and bardic adaptations.
To Do Today: In France, this is a time for women to come to a cave in Province thought to be an ancient dwelling of the Goddess (later attributed to Mary Magdalene). They travel here from miles around seeking love and/or fertility, the cave acting like a creative womb in which the Goddess's power grows. If you're fortunate to live in an area with caves, take a moment to visit one today. Sit inside and let Isolt hold you in her loving arms or fill you with an appetite for your partner. Otherwise, create a makeshift cave out of blankets draped over a table. Meditate inside, visualizing Isolt's white light filling your heart chakra until it all but bursts with devotion and fervor.
If you're seeking a mate, use this time to express your desires to Isolt, visualizing your ideal mate in as much detail as possible. Then get out and start socializing, so the Goddess can open the path to love.

Honoring the Epagomenal Days
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Thu Jul 21, 2011 8:32 pm (PDT)
Honoring the Epagomenal Days
Today is an auspicious day to honor the
birthdays of the Egyptian gods Isis, Osiris, Nephthys, Set, and Horus
the Elder. Purify yourself with hyssop and sea or Epsom salts in a
morning bath. Wear white or blue cotton or linen clothing and an ankh.
Offer bread and beer on your altar before images of the gods. Burn kyphi incense, and anoint five white tea lights with jasmine and nephthys.
When the Moon rises, light the candles and incense and say the
following:
Â
Gods of Heliopolis I honor you.
Born this season,
You are the light of the Sun and the Moon,
The fertility of the earth,
The wisdom of the ancients,
And the magic of the gods.
Live em hotep, neteru.
Live in peace, gods and goddesses.
Live em Ma’at, neteru.
Live in truth, gods and goddesses,
Sacred of Egypt.
Bless my life with peace and truth.
Â
Follow with any Egyptian ritual or magic you wish to perform.

Journey to the Heart of the Labyrinth
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Thu Jul 21, 2011 8:34 pm (PDT)
Journey to the Heart of the Labyrinth
Spiraling towards the centre,
We know that we have come to the centre of who we are.
Philip Carr-Gomm, The Druid Tradition
The Old Cornish
midwives of the southwest tip of Britain used to have a flat stone into
whose depths of a spiral labyrinth was carved. Expectant mothers about
to give birth would be encouraged to trace this spiral pathway in order
to help the birth. By tracing it over and over with their fingers and
reciting certain secret prayers, they could help the long gestation of
the child draw to its close. It was believed that this practice would
clear any obstacles standing in the way of an easy birth and bring forth the child from its long months in the dark.
The correlations
between the birth process and our own spiral circuit with the labyrinth
becomes clearest when we trace the route of our life to date. In order
to begin our spiritual journey, we must first be born from the heart of
the labyrinth: the mysterious womb. As children we know our origins; as adults we begin to forget, so we have to painfully take the path home
in unknowing, coil by coil. For many of us, the heart of the labyrinth, the goal of the spiritual journey, is anticipated as a place of horror: a stalking place for Minotaurs and other beasts. But though we may
expect to find all kinds of alien and external influences lurking there, we find, on arrival, nothing more than ourselves.
Only by treading the
turning, spiraling coils of the labyrinth of our lives can we come to
perfect understanding of what lies at the center. It is as familiar to
us, as dear and memorable, as the road that leads homeward.
Meditate upon the
different phases of your life in roughly seven-year intervals. Write
down the qualities, discoveries, and themes of each phase. Arrange each of these phases around the paths of a labyrinth, noticing which paths
and themes come close to each other.

I am first, I am last.
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Thu Jul 21, 2011 8:36 pm (PDT)
I am first, I am last.
I am loved and I am scorned.
I am life, I am death.
I am pure and I am soiled.
I am the knowledge
that hides within all questions.
I am what is sought, and I
am the seeking itself.
I am all that is within you
and all that is outside you.
I am the garment that shows you
the secret of your soul.
On this
day that is traditionally the feast of Mary Magdalene, it is appropriate to consider the hidden possibilities in the most familiar stories.
Esoteric traditions, like that of the Gnostics, teach us that feminine
power is not only found in life's beauties, but in her difficulties as
well. The Goddess encompasses all of life. She is the seed sprouting and growing, but she is also the seed that sprouts only to die. She is the
hopeful moment when life seems all dawning potential, and she is the
despair of shattered hopes. She is the pain of birth, the release of
death, and she is the beauty of new life, the wild anguish of death. The Goddess is the totality of all that is.
As we
learn how to acknowledge the complex nature of the goddess, we no longer divide life into black and white, good and bad, up and down, pain and
pleasure. We see how everything is related, how life cycles from birth
to death and back again. We learn to embrace the Goddess in her
entirety, neither shrinking from life's challenges nor failing to
celebrate her beauties. We see her as she is, multiple and
ever-changing.
