Today's Card – Six of Water – Pleasure
This card is all about emotion, showing us bowls of water flowing into
one another. This tells us when we allow life to flow through us, we are
able to gain balance. It is when we try to hold on to emotions that
things get all out of whack.
Allow yourself to enjoy life on all levels. Let go of mental and
emotional tensions that may be holding you back. So much more is
possible when you are happy. Bad feelings get us down and make even the
smallest of tasks more complicated then they need to be.
When you can let go.. and allow yourself to relax, your life force
regains its equilibrium and things come into your life in a more calm,
nourishing way.
Remember to honor and treat yourself well and in doing so you will treat
others likewise.
Many Blessings on your journey,
Raventalker

If you are using Yahoo mail, you can change the view that you are seeing - change to preview and you can see what the email is before you open it. This is the best way to stop malware to interupt your computer. If you don't know where to do this, let me know. I'd be happy to help.

Thank you for sharing this! What a great set of moments! It seems that once we start paying attention, we can see the many ways in which the universe is supporting us. Even in sad moments I can look to a ray of sun or a blade of grass waving in the breeze and think that there is a presence within all life which is full of love.
Also, I am new to this group and it seems like a great place :)

More Food, Less Work: Aquaponics With Applied Permaculture
Posted by: "Living Mandala" livingmandala@livingmandala.com livingmandala888
Tue Oct 4, 2011 10:47 am (PDT)
Dear Friends,
We are happy to announce another cutting-edge, comprehensive, hands-on
Aquaponics Training With Applied Permaculture this winter located at a
beautiful Ecovillage Resort setting in tropical paradise.
Aquaponics combines Aquaculture with Hydroponics creating one of the
most sustainable and productive food systems on the planet.
Conventional Aquaponics has holes in the system. Aquaponics with
Applied Permaculture looks at Aquaponics integrated into the whole
system and focuses on creating truly sustainable, closed-loop systems
that provide for nearly all the needs for the system within the system
itself appropriate to climate, ecology, and site specific needs.
This training is one of the most comprehensive and integrated
Aquaponics Trainings available internationally.
At a time of global climate change, depletion of resources, pollution
of water, loss of fish worldwide, huge losses of top soil worldwide,
and other threats to the future of our food supply, there has never
been a more important time to learn about Aquaponics. The green market
potential for Aquaculture and Aquaponics are huge and growing fast!
Get in on the solutionary action early by attending this training and
learn to build your own Aquaponics System, Farm, and Green Business.
This is a rare opportunity to learn hands-on from operational
permaculture inspired Aquaponics systems at an amazingly beautiful
setting in paradise. It�s an opportunity not to be missed!
We have very limited space in this training, so please inquire and
register soon to hold your spot if you are interested.
More info below.

Permaculture & Aquaponics
Aquaponics with Applied Permaculture looks at Aquaponics integrated
into the whole system and focuses on creating truly sustainable closed-
loop systems that provide nearly all the needs for the system within
the system itself. Conventional Aquaponics has holes in the system -
such as feeding the fish, supplying energy to the system, providing
water, etc. Aquaponics with Applied Permaculture focus on closing the
loops in the system to produce virtually all of the system�s needs
(water, energy, fish, feed, heat, gas, etc.) all onsite and integrated
into the larger system, landscape, and ecosystem.
Products of the systems can include: solar electricity, solar heated
air, solar heated water, fish, prawns, vegetables, fruit, aquatic
plants, algae, minnows, snails, worms, dry and liquid fertilizers,
even methane gas!
What is Aquaponics?
Aquaponics is one of the most sustainable and productive farming
systems in the world. It combines Aquaculture and Hydroponics to
create a truly self-sufficient closed loop system that uses only a
fraction of the water, labor, energy, etc. that other methods use.
Combining Permaculture Design with Aquaponics creates an even more
sustainable, dynamic, productive & regenerative system. In this
intensive training you will learn some of the most cutting edge
pioneering aquaponics systems and gain a solid foundation from which
to create your own Aquaponics System, Farm & Green Business.
Aquaponics Facts
Aquaponics uses up to 90% less water than conventional farming does
Aquaponics is energy efficient: It requires up to 1/3 of the energy
other farming systems use.
Aquaponics can have up to 8 to 10 times more vegetable production in
the same amount of time and area than conventional gardens or farms.
Labor can be reduced as much as 40%, while useful byproducts are
created that can be used to farm other crops, trees, soil, water, and
energy.
A permaculture inspired system produces all of the systems needs
(water, energy, fish feed, heat, etc.) on-site
Products of the system include: solar electricity, heat, fish, prawns,
vegetables, aquatic plants, algae, snails, worms, fertilizer, even
methane gas.

Hello everyone! Plus Learning cycles
Posted by: "Huntressa" ladyhuntressa@yahoo.com ladyhuntressa
Tue Oct 4, 2011 10:47 am (PDT)
Hi! I'm Beth & I recently joined the group. I've been studying Wicca for the past 7 years, mostly solitary but in college I worked with the Pagan Association there, which was lovely.
Lately I've been going into a cycle of deeper study and learning with Wicca - this usually happens for me around September when the leaves start to fall and the wind becomes chilly. It seems natural to go inward.
In the last few years I seems I've done less and less ritual and magick, though the Goddess and earth-based ideas are always on my mind. I am trying not to beat myself up about this though and thinking that everyone moves in different cycles of quiet and action. Does anyone else experience this?
I worry that I will expend too much energy at once and then in a month or so it will fall flat and I'll go back into magical hibernation. I am trying to make sure to balance reading/studying with action, meditation, going for hikes, and plenty of magical down-time like sleeping, movies, friends, etc.
I'm wondering what others' 'learning cycles' are like. Any thoughts?
Also, it's great to join this group :)

The following message may or may not make sense to those who are reading the
words to follow.. but know that you are reading this post for a reason.
Message from Spirit:
Words that have been spoken/written fell upon unready ears/eyes .....
Those who speak/write will speak/write again...
Those seeking will listen/review/read with ready ears/eyes.
It is time...
How do you know which you are? YOU KNOW.
It is within you and you are already what you have always felt you would be.
Allow life to flow through you .. both the speaker/writer and the
listener/reader. Allow it.
You are ready. Don't doubt yourself or question it. TRUST and DO.
Many Blessings,

elemental meditation
Posted by: "Jadaja Talios" tjadaja@yahoo.com tjadaja
Tue Oct 4, 2011 10:47 am (PDT)
I was inspired to create this meditation by Laurie Cabot's crystal meditation from her book 'Power of The Witch' and the Hindu system of elements-earth, water, air, fire, sound, light, and thought.
THE ELEMENTAL MEDITATION
This is one of several versions. This meditation was inspired by the crystal meditation (power of the witch by Laurie Cabot) and the Hindu system of elements; earth, fire, wind, water, sound, light, and thought. As with all meditation have loose or no clothing on (your choice) and get into your favorite position for meditating. This meditation follows the vibrational rate of frequency of each element. This first version is for those of us who can't see in their mind's eye what they want to visualize.
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.
Now concentrate on something that is earthy (how dirt feels, what your favorite crystal feels like, etc…)
Concentrate on that sensation (using as many senses as you can) for as long as you can. You will eventually be able to hold onto it for as long as you want with practice.
Now concentrate on something that is watery (water itself, ice, waterfalls, rivers, etc…)
Concentrate on that sensation for as long as you can.
Next, onto something airy (clouds, the feel of a feather, incense, etc…).
Concentrate on that sensation for as long as you can.
And, now something that is fiery (heat from the sun, sound of a raging bon fire, etc….).
Concentrate on that sensation for as long as you can.
Now the next three might only be able to be experienced with only one sense (depends on the person).
Think of a sound that is relaxing and pleasant to you and hear this sound. Let the sound fill your being.
Concentrate on that sensation for as long as you can.
Think of aspects of light that you can feel with needing to actually see light and let that awareness permeate you.
Concentrate on that sensation for as long as you can.
And last but not least think of something that could represent the element of thought even if it is just an idea.
Concentrate on that sensation for as long as you can.
VERSION 2
Do as for the first version. Once you have mastered the first version you can try to use your mind's eye to actually see each element.
Close your eyes and using all of your physical senses visualize something that represents the element of earth. (Dirt, sand, rocks, crystals, etc…)
Hold that image as long as you can.
Now do thing same thing for water (water, ice, snow, etc…).
Hold that image as long as you can.
Again do the same for air (feathers, clouds, tornadoes, etc…).
Hold that image as long as you can.
And now for fire (candle flame, lava, the sun, etc…).
Hold that image as long as you can.
Now visualize something that represents sound to you (a musical symbol, instrument, music book, etc…).
Hold that image as long as you can.
Now see something that has to do with light (light bulb, laser beam, etc…).
Hold that image as long as you can.
And lastly envision something that embodies the element of light (anything that symbolizes thought to you)
Hold that image as long as you can.
VERSION 3
This one is going to be a bit harder than the last version.
You are going do basically the same thing as the last method but you are going to invoke the picture of each element in the shape of a number; eather-7, water-6, air-5, fire-4, sound-3, light-2, and thought-1 onto a black background.
VERSION 4
This one is similar to the last one except you are going to use 2 different pics for each element; one for the number and one for the background behind the number. So, you are going do something like visualize a rocky 7 on a leafy background.
You will not only relax but learn to concentrate better as you progress through each version. You can also make the meditation more complicated as you master each version. This is the third (and probably last) time I worked on this meditation, I kept getting new ideas to make it better and easier.
With the Lady's Blessings,

aura extension technique
Posted by: "Jadaja Talios" tjadaja@yahoo.com tjadaja
Tue Oct 4, 2011 10:48 am (PDT)
This is a technique one of my gods told me to learn. it has the benefits of teaching control over the flow of energy in general via controlling your own aura. This technique can be used for many things but also has the added benefit of increasing one's concentration. Don't over extend yourself, take your time and increase the length of practice gradually. you don't want to cause any health problems by going too fast.
Extending the Aura
Whenever you do any rituals, spells, etc. always center & ground first.
Visualize your aura as a sphere, egg, or other shape that feels right to you. If you're doing this with a partner both of you need to center, ground, & visualize the same thing at this point. I am going to describe how to do this with a partner but the technique is the same regardless.
1. First, choose who'll go first as the extender. The extender 'sees' their aura slowly (until you both get used to doing this) reach out & surround the other's aura. If one or both of you can sense energy then you'll also feel this happening. You must stay centered & grounded. Once you're extended around your partner hold as long as you can concentrate for. When you retract your aura start out slowly at first or you could have a spring-back which in & of itself could cause you pain. As time goes on and you learn to control your aura you can pull it back faster but still be careful at all times.
2. After both of you have been able to hold you extended auras for at least 15-30 minutes then you can move on to having your partner push his aura against yours while you're extended around them. Start this out slowly because if you try to push against each other's auras too much too soon you could cause yourselves to have a headache or even become burnt-out energetically which can cause many problems. So always, start slow and light when learning to do things that involve any kind of energy. Take your time and don't rush. You have to learn to do this & you don't want to hurt yourself or your partner. As your partner pushes against your aura, try to keep your aura around theirs for as long as possible.
3. Another variation after having learned the first two is for both of you to extend your auras out at the same time and try to envelop each other while pushing at your partner's aura. Whoever succeeds in enveloping the other first is the winner.
You can come up with you own versions but always remember that when you extend your aura around another person, only do so with their permission. Version 3 above is a sort of game I just came up with, I'm sure there are many others that'll help you to learn this technique. This will help you to learn better concentration & to better access your true power. I will try to answer any questions you have about extending auras in email, jadaja.talios@gmail.com . I admit that I can learn new ways of extending your aura & I'm by no means an expert at it. It does work and you do need to practice it as often as you can. You can practice this with objects and other living things; animals, plants, crystals, etc.
Go with the Lady's blessings.

Autumn; The West and Water
Posted by: "Radiohawthorne" radiohawthorne@yahoo.com radiohawthorne
Tue Oct 4, 2011 1:10 pm (PDT)
This week on The Spiral Dance, we take a closer look at Autumn. Autumn brings about subtle changes in all of us. Our consciousness begins to
shift from the more actively mental to the more psychically receptive state appropriate for the Dark Half of the year.
So, this week I want to do what I can to help you SLOW DOWN, as we make that very important shift in our lives. And we'll be talking about Persephone and Her descent into the Underworld, and how that relates to the Witch's Pyrmid.
Autumn is a time of Thanksgiving, and so it's also a time of Generosity - we give Out as we give Thanks. Finally, since the Autumn is associated with the West, and the West is associated with Water, let's take a moment to splash around in THAT puddle! And finally I want to introduce to you a new monthly segment that we're going to start this week. We'll be talking with Kitchen Witch Extradinare Dawn Hunt of Cucina Arora. From now on she'll be joining us during the first week of each month to talk about seasonal foods and cooking and of course kitchen
witchery.
I
hope you enjoy this week's show! Let me know! spiraldance1@excite.com
The Spiral Dance is now streaming audio on the web LIVE. Listen to The Spiral Dance LIVE every Monday at 8PM, Eastern Time over AM1630/ Radio Independent Voice! Find the webstream at www.RadioIndependentVoice.weebly. com
Some of the music you'll hear on this week's show include; Nuit: "Mother Night" ; Skyclad: "Letting Go"; Kellianna: "Persephone"; Incubus Succusbus: "Enchantment" ; Steve Roach/Roger King: "Gone West" and more.
Please listen to The Spiral Dance with Hawthorne each week. It's an online Pagan radio show (Webcast & Podcast). The podcast gives you the option to either<BR>listen to right from the website or download to your
computer. It's FREE and it's fun. Your suggestions and comments are welcome!
Each episode is approximately 75 - 80 minutes. Podcasts remain posted for about 4 or 5 weeks, so you can go back and listen to the other episodes for some great interviews, information and fun!
DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?
Maybe you've composed a new poem and would like to hear it on the radio. If you want to submit audio to The Spiral Dance, send me an email. There are basically no rules - just no harsh language, no commercial
self-promotion and no Christian-bashing. Please let me know what you think about the show. I'm always open to suggestions; email spiraldance1@ excite.com/radiohawthorne@yahoo. com

My Inner Child Wants to Play
Posted by: "holly@ravenoriginals.com" holly@ravenoriginals.com hollyberrysheart

Candy and Caramel coated apples on a stick
The year is passing us by really quick
The trees begin to change into their fall attire
Families gather around a warm, glowing fire
Roasting and toasting as the year nears it's end
You can feel a chill in the air from the cool Autumn wind
Trick or Treat, candy sweets and costumes too
Scary monsters roam the streets with ghastly ghost shouting BOO!
Pumpkins carved and lit to light the way
Scarecrows placed to rush the birds away
Shorter the days and longer the nights
Movies are playing to cause us a fright!
There's a great big pile of leaves to jump in and play!
I think I'll release my inner child today!
Tossing leaves of red, yellow, brown and gold high into the air
I don't even care if they land in my hair!
For I am a child at heart and I like to live that way
Where all my dreams may come true.....
and my worries stop at how much longer I get to stay out and play.
Yeah, I think I'll release my inner child today!
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
