(This event repeats every week.)

Notes:
As we know the goal is to live our lives magically in the moment every day in the now and while it would be nice to go and buy all the cool witchy stuff that is out there...their is so much in every day objects that we can use around the home.
So here is what I suggest...Post up an every day object once a week and let the creative juices flow and post up what we would or could possibly use it for magically.
I thought it would be kinda cool and inspiring...whatcha think..

Namaste'

Stop! You're Going the Wrong Way!

How many times have you started down a path that you just knew was not
the right path for you?

This happens to us all.. it’s all a part of life and being human..
making mistakes … learning and growing. I can tell you from far more
experience than I’d like to admit …. that path is a torturous one.

So there we are walking down a path laid before us… something inside
us tells us something is wrong. The universe starts throwing signs in
front of us to let us know that this path we have started on is not the
one for us… and yet we continue to walk forward. Silly.. silly we are.
We don’t intend on taking the wrong path. We don’t intend on making
our lives harder… but somehow .. there we are… doing just that!
Ignoring our own knowing and ignoring the signs in front of us.

Why? Why do we do this?

So many factors come in to play as to why we go down that wrong path…

Every path, every situation our motives and reasons are different.. here
are just a few of examples as to why oh why we go down that road:

Sometimes it is ego… dare we admit we have made a mistake..LOL…dang
that ego!

Sometimes it is worry and fear.. worried that we are afraid of the path
unknown to us .. afraid of hurting others… afraid of what if I’m
just making excuses and this is the right path … hahaha don’t ya
just love it when you argue with your own inner knowing.

Sometimes it is a case of walking past that point where you feel you
have more than half way and you think to yourself.. well I might as well
keep going to the end. You tell yourself that turning around and going
back is further than just going on and making it to the end. Ummm,
hello! Is it not further to keep going in the wrong direction and then
having to turn around .. than it is to just stop what you are doing ..
no matter the point… and get your butt back to the beginning to travel
down the road better suited for you?

When in the thick of it all, we have a hard time seeing clearly .. we
question every move .. we ignore the obvious and we make excuses not
only for ourselves but for others and for our actions and motives.
Hoping for the best and intending on doing the right thing for all
involved.

I mean really! Who wants to admit they are wrong??? hahahahaha I can
laugh now .. but during those times when I was on that wrong road…
whew, was it hard and troubling!

I believe this is something we will all do at some point in our lives
and often more than once in our lifetime…. The key is recognizing your
mistake and in the best way that you can … correcting it. People will
get hurt, times will be hard… but we all have the ability to heal and
in the end everyone will benefit from better choices.

Pay closer attention when life throws you a road block… there must be
a reason for it. Don’t make things out to be more complicated than
they need be and don’t let fear guide you. I know… easier said than
done.. but the first step is realization.

Many blessing for a path well traveled,
Raventalker

GOP Christians "lay siege" against Goddess Columbia

Posted by: "Karen Tate" karentate108@ca.rr.com   specialjourn

Fri Jul 29, 2011 11:11 am (PDT)



/Greetings All,
Sometime ago, I wrote a post about the importance of religious tolerance
among Pagans because I could so easily see how the backlash against
Muslims could turn on Pagans or Goddess Advocates. Recently there's
been an uptick in anti-Pagan and Goddess rhetoric from the GOP Religious
Right..../If you're a GOP Pagan - I wonder if you feel safe with this
party? Or will Pagans and Goddess Advocates be next on their hit list
after Muslims? Just be aware....
/
The New Apostolic Reformation, a neo-Pentecostal Christian movement with
strong ties to GOP Presidential candidate Rick Perry, plans to "lay
siege" for 40 days on Washington D.C. to change the District of Columbia
into the District of Christ and eliminate compromise in our government./

As a first step, DC40 is taking aim at Columbia, patron goddess of the
United States. Benefiel says America is "cursed" for living under a
Pagan goddess whom he alternatively calls Columbia or Baal.

http://pncminnesota.wordpress.com/2011/07/25/christian-group-directs-spiritual-warfare-against-pagan-goddess/

And did you see this?

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 Bachmann, 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.

DailyOM: Simple Serenity

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

Fri Jul 29, 2011 8:05 pm (PDT)





DailyOM - Navel Meditation
Today's DailyOM brought to you by:

 

 
July 29, 2011
Simple Serenity
Navel Meditation
Navel meditation is one of the easiest ways to introduce yourself to quieting your mind.

Journeys of lifelong evolution often begin simply. No matter how complex the goal or desire we have nurtured in our souls, the first steps we take are nearly always basic and uncomplicated. Navel meditation, a creation of the Taoist tradition and the oldest form of meditation recognized in China and India, is a simple practice suitable for those experienced in the art of meditation, yet it is also a wonderful introductory meditation for novices. It utilizes the natural rhythms of the breath and the regular movement of the abdomen as a means to focus awareness and rid oneself of extraneous thoughts. As you concentrate on the breath, the chaos within reveals itself, allowing you to gently train your mind to accept stillness as its natural state.

To begin, assume a comfortable and natural seated positionâ€"either cross-legged on a cushion on the floor or on a chair with your legs facing forward. Maintaining an upright, balanced posture will ensure that you are physically centered and prevent fatigue. Close your eyes and relax your body gradually, starting at the toes and ending at the crown of the head. Take a moment to note any physical sensations you are feeling, such as the hardness of the floor under your legs or the weight of a piece of jewelry. When you are relaxed, breathe through the nose at your natural pace. With each inhalation, draw air deep into the abdomen, allowing the area surrounding your navel to rise and fall. Gradually focus your attention on the sensations caused by the inhalation and exhalation of breath. Feel the air flowing in and out of the nostrils as well as the expansion and contraction of the abdomen. If you find it difficult to concentrate on both sensations,
concentrate only on the moveme!
nt of the navel area.

As you endeavor to commune with the breath, you may notice that your mind strays. When this occurs, do not attach any significance to your thoughts. Simply bring your attention back to the flow of air into and out of your body and the rise and fall of your navel. Eventually, the torrent of mental noise flooding your mind will slow to a trickle, and you will learn to control the current of your thoughts until you are no longer at the mercy of your reactions. The more you practice this meditation, daily if possible, the more you will be able to get back to this relaxed state easily throughout your day.

Do you do sacrifice animal?

Do you do sacrifice animal?

Animal sacrifice
Are you a vegetarian? If you are not you practice animal sacrifice.
The question of animal sacrifice, for the people the practice of form of animal sacrifice they sacrifice the animal to the gods, then they eat the animal afterwards. If you are not a vegetarian you perform animals sacrifice every time you eat on animal.. That is where the custom of saying a prayer over meal began. We say a blessing over the food we are going to eat for the sacrifice for the life that we are going to consume. In modern society we have removed ourselves from killing the animals that we eat, by hiring others to kill the animals for us. We hire a hitman every time we go to the grocery store or restaurant to buy our meet. So the next time you eat a animal understand that you are participating in animal sacrifice.

Throughout history the temple priests ate the food offered as sacrifice to the gods. You find examples of this written in Greek and Roman mythology, in Jewish Scriptures, the Christian Bible also makes reference to food sacrifices. The temple priests and priestess relied upon food offerings for their survival. Wherever there was a priest class that devoted their time solely to the service of the people, they did not have the time to do their priestly duties and also be farmers.

Plants sacrifice
Are you a vegetarian? If you are you practice Plants sacrifice, every time you eat a vegetable you also preforming a type of living sacrifice. Do you pick flowers to put on your altar? If you do you are making a plant sacrifice. In our busy world, we lose sight of where our food comes from as we have moved away from the land. We don't see the work of the farmer and how they have to harvest our food. We don't see the slaughter of the animals that we eat. Many times we don't even know the ingredients of the food that we. It makes no difference if it's animal or vegetable a life force is given up to us every time we eat. As human beings that must eat to survive be a plant or animal there is a sacrifice made by the life that we. Some would say I'm only eat vegetarian I don't eat meat so I don't kill. But the reality is that plant gave up its life for you. The world isn't all about white light and do no harm, nature teaches us to survive death is required. I'm not a farmer, so I go to the grocery store and higher the farmer to harvest my food. I hire the butcher to be my hitman so I don't have to kill the animals. It's just that I am not a hypocrite about sacrifice. Now I'm not a vegetarian any longer. I was just trying to make a point with, I was a vegetarian for five years. So I can understand both sides of the issue. Like many things for religious reasons, or moral convictions leaking into taking a very fundamental precision. And kept the pendulum too far one way or the other. With doing so we can overlook some other things we have come to accept without totally looking at the bigger picture. The main point here that should be our focus witchcraft is the craft wise and that we respect live in all its forms. Understanding there is a time to live and the time to die, death is part of life The battle for existence is hard and unforgiving, but is the only way to maintain life. Plants have sentient spirits, no less than humans or animals. Respect is the key. Life and death are a part of the cycle but I do not think we should take it for granted either.

I also understand there are some very sick people out there that do some awful sick things to animals. I don't personally kill animals for ritual, and I cannot watch in animals suffer

When I was talking about sick people I am not talking about people, into Santeria, of Voodoo religion's that animal sacrifice practises. I am talking about people that have a psychological mental illness that take personal satisfaction out of watching for animals suffer from their torture.. Then hide their activity under the mask of being a religious sacrifice. I have a friend that practices Santeria, and animal sacrifice is part of their belief, this is a completely different practice.

In Asia ,theay sacrafice waterbuffalo by hanging it,then the village cook & eat the beast.
Voodoo practices honor the animal and use it for food, after the ritual.
Native American honor an animal for it's life and death They used every part of the animal and blessed its spirit for giving up its life.

References to animal sacrifice appear in the gospels, such as the parents of Jesus sacrificing two doves (Luke 2:24).

In Judaism, animal sacrifice was practiced up to the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 C.E.. "In the Torah there are around 200 commandments dealing with animal sacrifices,"

Animal being sacrificed in South Africa's, Christian churches the London DAILY TELEGRAPH reported these events, as well as spokesmen for the Roman Catholic church in which the animal sacrifice are taking place.

Muslims will sacrifice an animal during the Festival of Sacrifice (Eid ul-Adha). Usually a sheep or goat is sacrificed then eaten during a feast,

Aztecs god Quetzalcoatl only demanded the sacrifice of animals such as snakes and butterflies.

How do you feel about animal or blood sacrifices?
How do you feel about using your own blood as a sacred object during a spiritual working?

We should never stop asking questions for fear of what the answers, may not be politically correct or might reveal the truth to be, something that our Christian neighbors may not approve of. Many religions have their mythology, dealing with human and animal sacrifice, that are revered and ingrained into tradition.

Modern practice of these faiths often finds a way to symbolically represent those sacrifices in ritual. Christians taking communion to represents the sacrifices of human flesh and blood?

There are traditions and solitary witches who do use their own blood for rituals, spells or potions. Some women using menstrual blood for various magickal purposes.. Most witches I know find the use of herbs and other substances is more than sufficient to bring necessary power to the work.

If you don't have a moral objection to eating meat, then what is the harm in cooking meat as part of a ritual?
If I was in India and saw people starving with little to eat yet and saw a cow grazing nearby, and if it had that been me starvin, old Brahma would have been cooking over a spit with some BBQ Sauce. medium rare. Think about it for a moment it is the custom in the United States on the third Thursday of November we celebrate Thanksgiving with a very large turkey over the years this has become a ritual. The turkey becomes the Thanksgiving sacrifice, it is an offering of thanksgiving to the God of Creation Who has been so benevolent to mankind. Prayer is given over the meal to thanking God for the blessings of the year.

Blessed be Wizard
