Safe Return from Military Service
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Tue Oct 12, 2010 3:32 am (PDT)
Safe Return from Military Service
October 12
Tuesday
Color of the day: Black
Incense of the day: Geranium
If you have a partner or any loved ones serving in the army, navy, or the air
force who has been stationed overseas, pray to the Roman goddess Fortuna Redux
for her protection and safe guidance home after duty is completed. This ritual
can be shared with other military husbands, wives, and adult children.
Before the journey abroad, gather everyone in the altar room. If space is not
big enough, perform the ritual outdoors on a night when it is not windy. Have
everyone write the names of those who are serving. Draw and consecrate a big
circle with everyone and everything they brought inside it. On a makeshift
altar, light incense and tealight candles. Call to goddess Fortuna Redux in
turns and offer flowers, fruit, sweets, mead, and honey. Spell verses are
always more potent when you pen them yourself, so prepare a short verse before
attending.

Elder's Meditation of the Day October 12

Elder's Meditation of the Day October 12
"The greatest obstacle to the internal nature is the mind. If it relies on
logic锟�he domain of the inner nature is inaccessible. The simple fact is a man
does not challenge the wisdom of the Holy Mystery."
--Turtleheart, TETON SIOUX
Why is it we need to analyze and understand everything? The Great Mystery has
designed certain areas of creation to be a mystery because humans usually misuse
it. We use the Great Mystery and see it unfold only under the direction of the
Great Spirit. The Creator is in charge.
Great Spirit, let me realize You are in charge. I'm to do what You want.

[goddess] IxChel + What's your WISH? + 2-minute Quiz: personal vibra
Posted by: "Ash" mhc4sure@yahoo.com mhc4sure

What's your Personal Vibration Level?
Open Day: Goddess Conference
�Anita Revel
IxChel
Mayan moon goddess Ix Chel is the mystery and joy of our female
sexuality, mother of earth and all life, patroness of the healing arts,
weaving, childbirth, and destiny.
MANTRA
I am woman
GEMSTONES
Carnelian, coral, agate, brown jaspar (orange stones)
ESSENTIAL OILS
Goddess-ence Ishtar* blend for the sacral chakra, and for unleashing the wild diva within
AFFIRMATIONS
I choose joy (this is one of my favourites!)My big hips are sexy!I am healthy and happyI adore my womanly shapeI luuuuuurve my currrrrvesI have abundant energy and vitality
Her Story
Ix Chel, Mayan moon goddess, sometimes called "Lady Rainbow", is often
pictured as a serpent crone wearing a skirt and crossbones. She carries
an upside-down vessel in her hands which represents the nourishing gift
of water, our most essential life giving element. She wears a serpent on
her head representing her transformation from the winter to spring
energy - shedding her winter skin in order to blossom anew into spring
to a new and fresh stage in the life cycle.
Ix Chel is a shape-shifter, consorting with the rabbit in spring
(fertility and life giving abundance). She is at once a maiden (goddess
of fertility and life, protector of women in childbirth), and a crone -
the serpent reflects her status as a wise woman dispensing healing
visions. She is the keeper of the life cycle, goddess of all new life
and keeper of the bones and souls of the dead.
Her Modern Energy
As fertility goddess, her power waxes and wanes with the phases of the moon,
mirroring the fertility cycle in the bodies of women. At this time when
the refreshing energy of spring coincides with a new moon, invoke Ix
Chel's transformational fertile energy to shake off the winter slumber
and launch into spring.
Imagine being nurtured inside Ix Chel's life giving womb, or that
you are wiping the tears of your own inner child's pain. Honour the
burdens and pain, then release them. Prepare to laugh and leap your way
into your new phase of joyful celebration that will come with your
rebirth.
Reconnect With Your Inner IxChel
Now is the time to celebrate life and love. Renew and affirm your
sensuality, kindle the fire of romance. Make love by the light of a bon
fire, the glow of red candles, or just the full moon's radiance. Dance
with your love in bare feet connecting to the earth. Make a list of
three things that you are going to create or manifest between now and
the next full moon. Let the items on your list be the seeds to help you
germinate a new start for the new phase in this life cycle.
What Would IxChel Do?
... If she were in your situation, she would understand that her power
waxes and wanes with the phases of the moon. She would celebrate life
and love, renew and affirm her sensuality, kindle the fire of romance,
make love by the light of a bonfire, dance under the full moon's
radiance, stomp with bare feet connecting her to the earth, and revel in
her glorious womanhood.

100% Pure and Absolutely Gorgeous
These sublime essential oil blends for the chakras are available from:�br> The Goddess Goodies store, orfrom any�oddess Playshop Facilitator.They
are 100% pure - this means they are not diluted with a carrier oil or
base oil, and are therefore very powerful and transformative. Trade enquiries welcome
Your Personal Vibration Level...
Take this 2-minute quiz
I turned 42 today... the "meaning of life" number according to Douglas Adams.
How appropriate then, that (like every birthday) I chose this time to
look back at the past year to celebrate the many moments of magic.
Inevitably I also find moments I could have improved on through my
choices and actions. This is OK too - all in sacred balance, after all!
I do this "annual revision" by taking the following "Personal
Vibration Quiz"... it only takes a couple of minutes to get your result
... Your Personal Vibration Level is a number out of 100 that tells you
how much potential you are using. It is a measure of the energy you emit
as you walk through life. And, it helps you identify areas for
improvement.
I invite you to take the quiz also. If you are so guided, you may
commit to improving your Personal Vibration Level by posting your result
/ promise / plan of action here.
To take the test... Simply give each of these life
aspects a score out of 10. If you are absolutely dissatisfied with an
aspect, give it a score of 1. If you are totally content with an aspect
give it a score of 10. There are no right or wrong answers, but all of
them give you insights as to where sources of un/happiness may lie.
My home is my havenI am a valuable member of my community
My body is my templeMy finances are in orderI am often creative
My personal boundaries are solidMy intimate relationships are fulfillingI am respected in my chosen workI am a positive thinkerI have a beautiful connection with Spirit
Now add up your score. Surprised at how low it is? Yes, in a perfect world you would have given each aspect a '10'. But we're in the real world so there is likely a less-than-10 in there somewhere.
The lowest scoring aspect ... Read the rest of this article on the Goddess.com.au fan page.
Goddess Conference Open Day
15 October 2010, QLD
15 October is Open Day for the 2010 Goddess Conference on the Gold Coast...
The Open Day is available for anyone and everyone to come and listen
to amazing music and to participate in inspiring talks and workshops.
The image on the left will take you through to the flyer for more details...
The theme for the 2010 Goddess Conference in Australia is SHE who is Weaver ~ with the theme of Honouring the Wisdom Weavers
One of the most important functions of the Goddess Conference is to
provide sacred space for women to be nurtured and perhaps seek sanctuary
from the often demanding elements of life.
The very practical gift of conference, however, is to provide the
tools, knowledge and impetus for women to nourish their wholeness on a
day to day basis and to achieve balance and peace. As one woman wrote
"It felt like I was home amongst a lot of women who I didn't know, but
who spoke and felt the same language as me".

Goddess Association in Australia, is proud to support the
annual conference in Australia.

10-10-10 in binary code is 42. Who else is up for naming this day the
"Meaning of Life Day" (with reference to Douglas Adams)? What are you
planning in order to add another layer of meaning to your life? Do

Daily Devotions of the Goddess
I hear my Goddess whispering,
In the stirring winds She calls.
Her sweet perfume filling the air,
As autumn leaves doth fall.
There is such bliss within soul,
To know that She is near.
For in my Goddesses tender arms,
There is nothing I shall fear.

Pagan Symbol - Ankh
Posted by: "Ash" mhc4sure@yahoo.com mhc4sure
Tue Oct 12, 2010 7:14 am (PDT)
Source: Lady Julie
Pagan Symbols - Ankh
The
ankh is the ancient Egyptian symbol of eternal life. According to The
Egyptian Book of Living and Dying, the ankh is representative of the key
to life.
One theory is that the loop at the top symbolizes the
rising sun, the horizontal bar represents feminine energy, and the
vertical bar indicates masculine energy. Together they combine to form a
symbol of fertility and power. Other ideas are far more simple - that
the ankh is a representation of a sandal strap. Some researchers have
indicated that it was used as a cartouche of a king's name, and others
see it as a phallic symbol, due to its shape and structure. Regardless,
it is seen universally as a symbol of life everlasting, and is often
worn as a symbol of protection.
The ankh is featured on funerary
artwork, in temple carvings, and in reliefs excavated from ancient
Egypt. It is traditionally drawn in gold, which is the color of the sun.
Because the ankh is a powerful symbol -- and because Egyptian influence
spanned far beyond the country's original borders -- the ankh has been
found in many places other than Egypt. Rosicrucians and Coptic
Christians used it as a symbol, despite the fact that it was shrouded in
mystery for centuries.
Today, many Kemetic recon groups and
devotees of Isis invoke the ankh during rituals. It may be traced in the
air to delineate sacred space, or used as a ward against evil.
Brightest Blessings,
Lady Julie

Endurance�����
Hidden Talents�����
Adaptability
Take
a deep breath and let the spirit of the buffalo fill you.�
Click here to Listen to the Buffalo's Song.
�br>
Welcome the
great and powerful buffalo into your life to be your teacher.
�br>
The buffalo
will teach you how to survive, even when the cold wind blows and the snow drifts
across the plains.�He will teach you how to grow a thick coat and hold your
head down in winter, doing what you must, but full of the certain knowledge that
winter will pass and the green grass will again push through to the sunshine of
spring.�And then, when summer comes, he will teach you how to shed that long,
shaggy coat and adapt to the new season.�You will be able to handle whatever
comes your way, strong and capable, comfortable in the cold or in the heat, for
you are the buffalo.
�br>
The buffalo
can also teach you the power of the group.�For even though the buffalo is a
very powerful animal in his own right, he is especially powerful as a member of
a group, where the stronger and more experienced actively protect others.�The
buffalo will help you feel more a part of those around you, finding your proper
role, whether it is as a leader and protector or one of those protected.�Either
way, the buffalo energy will help you relate well and easily with others.
�br>
Buffalo
energy will also help you find hidden talents and abilities within you.�For the
buffalo, though appearing slow, can actually run very fast and can leap great
heights.�You will surprise us all with your newfound strengths, for you are the
buffalo.

DailyOM: Sharing the Full Story

DailyOM - Calling on Friends
Today's DailyOM brought to you by:
October 12, 2010
Sharing the Full Story
Calling on Friends
If we leave our friends out of our process when the going gets tough, our
friendships can begin to feel shallow.
When we are going through a difficult time, we may hesitate to call even our
best friends because we don't want to burden them with our troubles. This can be
especially true if we've been going through a series of challenges, and we're
starting to feel as if we sound like a broken record. It is important to
remember that at times like these our friends sincerely want to be there for us
whenever they can. We can always check with them to make sure it's a good time
for them before we start talking, and if it's not a good time, we can call back
at another time, or call another friend.
We know for ourselves that when we have a good friend, we don't want them to
suffer alone when we are just a phone call away. We want them to call us and
share their sorrows with us, as well as their joys, because this is what sharing
a life through friendship is about. It is at our lowest points that we really
need to rely on our friends without worrying that we are a burden. If you are
feeling self-conscious about having a tough time, you can bring this fact into
the conversation by acknowledging it. Chances are your friend will reassure you
that she is happy to be there for you. In fact, rather than feeling taxed, most
of us feel better when we have helped a friend simply by listening empathically
while they share their feelings.
Without our friends, we would be hard pressed to get through the tough times and
celebrate the good ones. If we leave our friends out of our process when the
going gets tough, our friendships can begin to feel shallow. On the other hand,
when we include our friends in the full story of our life―the good, the bad, and
the ugly―we build authentic relationships in which we can be who we truly are.
When we do this, we invite our friends to bring their whole selves to the
relationship as well.

Get Ready for Samhain!: Day 7: Let the Samhain Celebration Begin!

Get Ready for Samhain!
Day 7: Let the Samhain Celebration Begin!
From Patti Wigington, your Guide to Paganism / Wicca
We've spent the past seven days learning about Samhain history and rituals,
legends and lore, interacting with the spirit world, and more. Now you're ready
to go out and celebrate Samhain in whatever manner calls to you the strongest.
Remember, Pagans and Wiccans love a good meal, so as a final lesson, let's look
at some of the fabulous food magic we can whip up in our kitchen!
Make a Soul Cake for Samhain
Soul cakes were traditionally given out on Samhain to anyone who came tapping at
the door. This was one of the origins of today's Halloween trick-or-treating.
Make your own soul cakes for your Samhain rituals. Soul Cakes
Make a Batch of Ghost Poop
Got a Samhain celebration coming up and you need something spooky for dessert?
Whip up a batch of Ghost Poop! Kids with a sweet tooth will love it, and you'll
have the rare opportunity to offer someone a bowl of... well, you know. Ghost
Poop Recipe
Orange Creamsicle Fudge
Use white chocolate, marshmellow fluff, and sugar to create this rich, creamy
orange fudge that tastes like Creamsicles -- remember those tasty popsicles you
ate as a kid? This recipe will be a big hit with your Samhain party guests!
Creamsicle Fudge
Day of the Dead Sugar Skulls
Each year in Mexico, and in many Hispanic communities around the United States,

NJ State PBA urges "YES" vote on Ballot Question 1

State PBA urges "YES" vote on Ballot Question 1
New Jersey voters will be asked in the November election to vote on an
amendment to the Constitution that will prevent the misuse of funds critical to
citizens of the State.
Specifically, Ballot Question 1 asks:
Shall the amendment to Article VIII, Section II of the State Constitution,
agreed to by the Legislature, which: prohibits collection by the State of
assessments based solely on employee wages and salaries for any purpose other
than providing employee benefits; dedicates all employer and employee
contributions collected for any employee benefit fund, and all returns on
investments of those contributions, to the purpose of that fund; and prohibits
any transferring, borrowing, appropriating or using of those contributions or
returns for any other purpose, be approved?
In short, the amendment will prevent the raiding, transferring or use of any
money set aside by employee contributions for Funds such like Unemployment
Insurance, Paid Family Leave, Workers Compensation, etc., for any other
purpose. The amendment will end the practice of using surpluses in these Funds
to balance the State Budget for use in other programs. The Ballot Question
represents sound financial planning and fairness and restricts the
irresponsible spending practices that have thrown these Funds out of balance.
The State PBA urges all members and their families and friends to vote "YES" on
Ballot Question 1 in their absentee ballots or at the voting booth on November
2, 2010.

IS PRONOIA JUST FOR RICH, COMFORTABLE PEOPLE? Part 2
Excerpted from *PRONOIA IS THE ANTIDOTE FOR PARANOIA*
available at Amazon: http://bit.ly/Pronoia
or Powells: http://bit.ly/PronoiaPowells
On many of the mornings when I wake up in my soft bed, surrounded by
the perks of my temperature-controlled home and ready to enjoy another
mysteriously interesting day, I am visited by the urge to murmur a prayer
of gratitude like "Thank you a billion and one times, Whoever or Whatever
You are that gave me this lavish riot of beauty." I am flooded with
ecstatic appreciation as I taste the honey mingle with the sour flesh of
the organic grapefruit, or when my lover cracks a quirky joke right before
she kisses me twice, once on each eyelid, or when my daughter emails me
the enigmatic new poem she wrote.
But what brings me even sharper pangs of personal elation, what evokes
an even more exuberant longing to celebrate, are those moments when I
deeply feel the successes that are unfolding for human beings far away
from me -- successes like the irrevocable decline of global poverty and
child mortality (discussed in Part 1 of this series:
http://bit.ly/RichComfy ).
And I know many people who nurture a similar aim. Our numbers are
growing. Before now, there has never before been a time when so many
people have actively cultivated a capacity for transcendental empathy.
Before now, there has never before been a time when millions and millions
of us have taken concrete action to improve the well-being of those
we've never met. We are currently living in the most compassionate
moment in the history of civilization.
In his well-researched book *Blessed Unrest:_How the Largest Movement
in the World Came into Being and Why No One Saw It Coming,* Paul
Hawken argues that organized political action devoted to advancing the
rights of other people is a relatively new phenomenon, less than 200
years old. The drive to abolish slavery was where it began. In recent
decades it has grown exponentially, becoming a global crusade to improve
social justice, economic conditions, human rights, and environmental
health. We take it for granted, but it is a surprising and unprecedented
development.
By Hawken's estimates, there are well over a million organizations
engaged in the effort, which thrives without centralized leadership,
charismatic front men, or a fixed ideology. Because of its grass-roots
ubiquity, it is largely invisible to the mass media and underestimated by
politicians.
Some day, maybe 500 years from now, our descendants will have
installed the art and science of universal compassion as the first law of
civilization. And I bet they will give honor to us, the people alive on the
planet today, as the heroes who gave critical mass to their prime
directive.
+
For those who are dogmatically predisposed to thinking that the world is a
hellhole, no amount of contrary evidence will change their minds. The
cynic who asked me the following question didn't really want an answer:
"Tell me how your pronoia explains a child in Darfur starving to death
after watching soldiers kill his mommy?"
While I don't claim to have the authoritative response to that accusation,
I think it's worthwhile to consider the possibility that suffering is, among
other things, a difficult gift we humans are given in order to prod our
evolution.
On a personal level, our longing to escape our suffering is a primal force in
making us smarter. On a collective level, nothing refines and ennobles us
more than our passion to keep others from suffering. For every dead child
in Darfur, 100 people in other places on the planet have responded with a
commitment to create a world in which future Darfurs won't happen.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY
Week beginning October 14
Copyright 2010 by Rob Brezsny
http://FreeWillAstrology.com
Grammar key: Asterisks equal *italics*
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Usually you specialize in having a light touch.
You'd rather nudge than push. Nimble harmony is more interesting to you
than brute force. You prefer your influence on people to be appreciated,
not begrudgingly respected. And I certainly don't want you to forsake any
of those inclinations. But I would love to see you add a dash of
aggressiveness and a pinch of vehemence to your repertoire in the
coming week. I'd be thrilled if you raised your voice a bit and gesticulated
more vigorously and projected your confidence with an elevated intensity.
According to my reading of the astrological omens, your refined approach
will benefit from a dose of subliminal thunder.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): *Time* magazine created a list of the 50
worst inventions. Included among the most terrible creations that human
ingenuity has ever come up with are plastic grocery bags, sub-prime
mortgages, hydrogenated oils, and pop-up ads. Now let's switch our
attention to your personal equivalents of these monstrosities. To climax
the atonement phase of your own astrological cycle, I recommend that
you do the following: 1. Identify the three worst ideas you have taken
seriously during the past decade. 2. Carry out one formal action to
correct or make amends for the consequences of each bad idea. 3. Really,
truly, forgive yourself as best as you can.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): For your assignment this week, I have
borrowed from a list of suggestions offered by Sagittarius poet Kenneth
Patchen in his book *The Journal of Albion Moonlight.* Feel free to
improvise as you carry out at least three. 1. Discourage all traces of
shame. 2. Bear no cross. 3. Extend all boundaries. 4. Blush perpetually in
gaping innocence. 5. Burrow beneath the subconscious. 6. Pass from one
world to another in carefree devotion. 7. Exhaust the primitive. 8.
Generate the free brain. 9. Forego no succulent filth. 10. Verify the
irrational. 11. Acquire a sublime reputation. 12. Make one monster at
least. 13. Multiply all opinions. 14. Inhabit everyone.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Among Google searches starting with the
phrase "who is," the top-rated is "God," while "Satan" is a distant tenth.
Running ahead of Satan but behind God are Lady Gaga and Justin Beiber.
If I were you, Capricorn, I wouldn't be Google-searching any bigger-than-
life entities like those four in the coming week. The characters you need
to research are non-divine, non-celebrity types who might bring
interesting influences into your life -- people who would have a direct
influence on your access to resources and on your ability to call forth the
best from yourself.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Explorers found a 30,000-year-old carved
stone artifact in a German cave and brought it to the University of
Tubingen for study. Experts there determined that it had a dual purpose
for the ancient humans who made it. Phallic-shaped with rings around one
end, it was obviously a sex toy. But other markings indicated it was also
used to start fires by striking it against flints. I'd like to make this power
object your symbol of the week, Aquarius. You're in a phase when you
should be alert for ways to mix business with pleasure and practicality
with adventure.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You're not exceptionally scared of the dark,
Pisces, but sometimes you seem to be intimidated by the light. You can
summon the spunky courage to go crawling on your hands and knees
through dank tunnels and spooky caves in quest of treasure that's
covered in primordial goo, but you may play hard to get when you're
offered the chance to unburden yourself of your cares in wide-open
spaces. What's up with that? Don't get me wrong: I'm proud of your
capacity to wrestle with the shadows in the land of the lost; I'm gratified
by your willingness to work your karma to the bone. But I would also love
you to get a share of rejuvenating rest and ease now and then. Do you
think you could manage to have it both ways? I do.

Angeles
+++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Until recently, no cricket had ever been
observed pollinating a flower. All the evidence showed, in fact, that
crickets don't help flowers -- they devour them. Then one night last
January on the island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean, researchers
discovered that the species known as the raspy cricket was responsible
for pollinating wild orchids. They even caught the magic act on film. I
regard this turn of events as akin to an upcoming development in your
life: Someone or something that you've never thought of as a fertilizing
force for you will become one.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): My date and I decided to go see the film *You
Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger.* As we entered the theater, we passed a
short, elderly Chinese woman in a brown uniform. She was bent over
sweeping the floor. Suddenly she stood up straight, looked me in the eye,
and extended her left hand toward me. Confused, I reached out toward
her. She quickly pressed something in my hand, then returned to her
sweeping. As I walked on, I unrolled the small paper scroll she had given
me. It read, "Tell your Taurus readers they should be alert for helpful
messages coming from sources they would usually ignore or neglect." I'm
doing what she suggested.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Of all the signs in the zodiac, you are currently
the best at carrying out the following activities: gliding, flowing, leaping,
skipping, twirling, undulating, reverberating, galloping, and rub-a-dub-
dubbing. I suspect that you will also excel at rumbling, romping, rollicking,
cavorting, and zip-a-dap-doodling. If all goes well, Gemini -- which is to say
you show how much you love your body and throw off any inhibitions you
might have about celebrating your instinctual nature -- then you will be at
the low end of the scale in performing these activities: shuffling,
drooping, mumbling, wallowing, pigeonholing, and pussyfooting.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): A reader wrote to me bemoaning the fact
that her new Cancerian boyfriend is addicted to safety. She speculated
that since he is a member of an astrological sign renowned for its timidity,
she should probably either get used to the suffocating lack of action or
else bolt from the relationship now. In reply, I sent her a quote from one
of the most heroic Cancerians of the 20th century, Helen Keller: "Life is
either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no
safer in the long run than exposure." Moral of the story: It's a ripe time
for you to rise up and refute the people in your life who think you're a
brooding wallflower.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Helping your fellow humans can literally enhance
your strength. A Harvard study (tinyurl.com/BeExtraNice) proved that
people who did good deeds or even visualized themselves doing good
deeds had increased physical endurance and willpower. Unfortunately, the
study showed that those who harbor nefarious intentions are also able to
draw on extra fortitude. In other words, you can boost your energy by
either being compassionate or evil. I highly recommend the former over
the latter, Leo, especially now that you're entering a phase when it makes
a lot of spiritual sense to build your courage, vigor, and tonicity.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): "The art of medicine consists of amusing the
patient while nature cures the disease," said French philosopher Voltaire.
With this in mind, let's evaluate your current discomfort. From what I can
tell, healing forces beyond your control and outside of your awareness are
going to be working their mojo to chip away at your problem. But it will
still be wise for you to occupy yourself in activities that you think will
expedite the fix. Doing so will minimize your anxieties, allowing nature to
do what it does best.
