Elder's Meditation of the Day

Elder's Meditation of the Day
"Male and female is fundamental to life; partners in work to be done."
-- Oren R. Lyons, Spokesman, Traditional Circle of Elders
The Great Spirit created a system which would allow us to reproduce, to have companionship, to love, to laugh, to cry, and be happy. Man and Woman each have gifts the other doesn't have. But, together they have these gifts to share with each other. The Great Spirit made it this way. So let us treat each other with respect. Let us look upon each other in a sacred way.
Grandfather, Grandmother, bring the spirits to teach us.
Love Each Day,
Lady Nightshayde

Holiday Humor
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Tue Dec 14, 2010 9:50 pm (PST)
Holiday Humor
I hate this time of year. Not for its crass commercialism and forced
frivolity, but because it's the season when the food police come out with their
wagging fingers and annual tips on how to get through the holidays without
gaining 10 pounds. You can't pick up a magazine without finding a list of holiday
eating do's and don'ts. Eliminate second helpings, high-calorie sauces and
cookies made with butter, they say. Fill up on vegetable sticks, they say.
Good grief. Is your favorite childhood memory of Christmas a carrot stick? I
didn't think so. Isn't mine, either. A carrot was something you left for
Rudolph. I have my own list of tips for holiday eating. I assure you, if you
follow them, you'll be fat and happy. So what if you don't make it to New Year's? Your pants won't fit anymore, anyway.
1. About those carrot sticks. Avoid them. Anyone who
puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of
the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave
immediately. Go next door, where they serve rum balls.
2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. Like
fine single-malt scotch, it's rare. In fact, it's even rarer
than single-malt scotch. You can't find it any other time
of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has
10,000 calories in every sip?? It's not as if you're going
to turn into an eggnogaholic or something. It's a treat.
Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think.
3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the
whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone.
Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes.
Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.
4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made
with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother?
It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.
5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort
to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas
party is to eat other people's food. Lots of it. Hellloo?
6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between
now and New Year's. You can do that in January when
you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps,
which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying
a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.
7. If you come across something really good at a buffet
table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size
of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge.
Have as many as you can before becoming the center
of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. You
can't leave them behind. You're not going to see them again.
8. Same for pies. Apple? Pumpkin? Pecan? Mincemeat? Have a
slice of each. Or, if you don't like mincemeat, have two
apples and one pumpkin and pecan. Always have four. When else
do you get to have more than one dessert?? Labor Day?
9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded
with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all
cost. I mean, have some standards.
10. And one final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you
leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been
paying attention.
Re-read tips. Start over.
But hurry!
Cookieless January is just around the corner.
Love Each Day,
Lady Nightshayde

The Yule Log
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Tue Dec 14, 2010 9:52 pm (PST)
The Yule Log
December is marked by the Winter Solstice, a sacred season venerated in the religion of Wicca and in Witchcraft. One time-honored tradition that is still observed today is the celebration associated with the Yule log. Traditionally, the Yule log is a sacred oak or evergreen pine log used to call for the return of the Sun's warmth and light on Winter Solstice. The tradition itself may have evolved from the ancient ritual known as Yuletide, a Pagan festival of fire that was once celebrated throughout Europe on Winter Solstice. This is evidenced by the many quaint superstitions attached to the Yule log that have no apparent connection to Christianity.
With the rise of Christianity, the log was renamed the Christmas Yule log. In the fourth century, Pope Julias 1 designated the Christmas celebration to fall around Winter Solstice, and the Yule log tradition continued, but the fire came to represent the light of Jesus Christ instead of the light of the Sun. Some commentators believe that due to the inclement weather of the season, the Yule log ceremony was eventually moved indoors instead of being held in the open air.
Tradition called for the burning of the Yule log, on the eve of Winter Solstice to usher in the power of the Sun. The ashes were saved and dispersed over the plowed fields in spring. As part of the Yule tradition, a piece of the log was saved and used to start the fire for the next year's log. Dried holly was placed under the log to help kindle the new fire, and people gathered around the fire would toss in a sprig of holly, which symbolized the troubles of the past year. These acts removed the old connections and purified the coming year.
In modern times, instead of burning the Yule log, the log is often drilled to fit one or more candles that are lighted for ritual use. The lights of the candles symbolize the waxing force of nature.
Placing three candles on the Yule log symbolizes the principle of manifestation. Lighting the Yule candles and reciting a chant can serve as a simple spell for prosperity and abundance. For increased symbolism, place a green candle in the holes at each end of the log, and a red candle in the center. Fourteen days prior to Winter Solstice, light one green candle for a few minutes each day. Seven days later, also light a the second green candle. Light the red candle on the morning of Winter Solstice and allow all three to burn down together.
For Witches, the light of the Yule log represents the Child of Promise, a mythical figure linked to the rebirth of the Sun. The principle of the Child of Promise enters into both ritual and magic. On one level the Child of Promise is the assurance of the coming year and the renewal associated with new beginnings. On another level, the Child of Promise is the manifestation of one's wishes and desires. But at the core essence lies the ancient spirit of the plant kingdom.
Tree worship appears to be among the earliest formal religious acts performed by humans. Elements of tree worship include the Green Man, spirits known as dryads, and various deities connected to the oak and other sacred trees. Eventually, the spirits and deities of the forest and woodlands of our hunter-gatherer ancestors were venerated in the seasonal crops by agrarian society. Some examples of this are John Barley Corn, the Corn Mother, and the Harvest Lord.
In northern Europe, figures known as the Holly King and the Oak King arose as personifications of the forces of nature and the spirits of the plant kingdom. The Oak King, whose reign begins on the Winter Solstice, represents the waxing forces of nature. This is accomplished by defeating his brother, the Holly King, in ritual combat. The Holly King symbolizes the waning forces of nature. On Summer Solstice the Holly King defeats the Oak King, and he reigns until Winter Solstice.
The evergreen plants associated with Yule season are symbols of the Child of Promise, the future Green Man, and the Sun god. The Yule wreath symbolizes the unbroken wheel of the year, the promise of life's endless cycle. The holly bough and its red berries speak of the vitality and tenacity of life. Mistletoe, as a symbol of freedom and liberation, announces the end of the waning darkness and the return of the waxing powers of light. The pine cone, as the seed bearer, perhaps best symbolizes the Child of Promise in its potential form.

Be Aware of the Snowball Effect of Your Thinking
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Tue Dec 14, 2010 9:53 pm (PST)
Be Aware of the Snowball Effect of Your Thinking
A powerful technique for becoming more peaceful is to be aware of how quickly your negative and insecure thinking can spiral out of control. Have you ever noticed how uptight you feel when you're caught up in your thinking? And, to top it off, the more absorbed you get in the details of whatever is upsetting you, the worse you feel. One thought leads to another, and yet another, until at some point, you become incredibly agitated.
For example, you might wake up in the middle of the night and remember a phone call that needs to be made the following day. Then, rather than feeling relieved that you remembered such an important call, you start thinking about everything else you have to do tomorrow. You start rehearsing a probable conversation with your boss, getting yourself even more upset. Pretty soon you think to yourself, "I can't believe how busy I am. I must make fifty phone calls a day. Whose life is this anyway?" and on and on it goes until you're feeling sorry for yourself. For many people, there's no limit to how long this type of "thought attack" can go on. In fact, I've been told by clients that many of their days and nights are spent in this type of mental rehearsal. Needless to day, it's impossible to feel peaceful with your head full of concerns and annoyances.
The solution is to notice what's happening in your head before your thoughts have a chance to build any momentum. The sooner you catch yourself in the act of building your mental snowball, the easier it is to stop. In our example here, you might notice your snowball thinking right when you start running through the list of what you have to do the next day. Then, instead of obsessing on your upcoming day, you say to yourself, "Whew, there I go again," and consciously nip it in the bud. You stop your train of thought before it has a chance to get going. You can then focus, not on how overwhelmed you are, but on how grateful you are for remembering the phone call that needed to be made. If it's the middle of the night, write it down on a piece of paper and go back to sleep. You might even consider keeping a pen and paper by the bed for such moments.
You may indeed be a very busy person, but remember that filling your head with thoughts of how overwhelmed you are only exacerbates the problem by making you feel even more stressed than you already do. Try this simple little exercise the next time you begin to obsess on your schedule. You'll be amazed at how effective it can be.

Basic Potion Ingredients
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Tue Dec 14, 2010 9:54 pm (PST)
Basic Potion Ingredients
The basic ingredients used in making potions can be either gathered, grown, or purchased. Some of the ingredients, such as unicorn horns, snake fangs, black beetle eyes, leeches, and belladonna, mentioned in fictional stories are things you do not want to include in any of your magic potions, because as with unicorn horns, you may not only have problems finding the ingredients, but some are poisonous such as the herb belladonna. On the other side, ingredients such as nettles and wormwood are ingredients that could wind up in a magic potion.
It is important for you to be aware of the qualities of the ingredients you put in a potion, particularly one you've never tried before. Each ingredient has a magical quality that makes it useful. Many of these qualities are traditional. For example, to strengthen their memory, students in ancient Greece used rosemary herbs twined in their hair or crushed it in bowls and kept it nearby while studying for exams. Wizards use potions made from the herb valerian root to raise and commune with spirits. The Jicarilla Apache call sage "ghost medicine," and say brushing the body with it drives away bad dreams and nightmares. All of these uses point to a common theme--for thousands of years people all over the world have been using herbs in magical ways.
Through our senses, nature communicates her power directly through color, smell, taste, sound, shape, and texture, as well as other more subtle energies. By watching animals, we discovered the healing and magical qualities of plants. Over the years and through generations, people of all cultures now know that herbs, flowers, fruits, barks, fungi, and other plants are very effective in enhancing our bodies, minds, and spirits. Today, more and more people are getting back in touch with the magical qualities of plants by taking herbal supplements and drinking herbal teas, as well as consuming more fresh fruits and vegetables.
By combining certain herbs and other ingredients, your magic potions can be used for many practical things, from making you more reactive and stimulating your senses, to bringing more love and prosperity into your life. Their magical power is waiting to be utilized by you, the practitioner.
Blessed Be,
Lady Nightshayde

Making a Prosperity Talisman Gift
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Tue Dec 14, 2010 9:55 pm (PST)
Making A Prosperity Talisman Gift
Love those Pagan gatherings, but hate not knowing what to do for the magical gift exchange? Remember that the whole idea is to give and receive an object of magical power, not to see who can spend the most money. The most powerful magic comes from items which are crafted with care by the hands of the Witch or magician, not bought hastily at your local occult shop.
You can easily make a prosperity talisman to give away by using items found in your own backyard, or with old coins from the bottom of your change purse. Anything which speaks to you of prosperity is appropriate. You will also need a single dollar bill (whether or not it's real is up to you) a 1/2 by 5" rectangle of posterboard, a pen, a pair of scissors, and some decorative items like glitter or paint.
Leaving the four corners of the card (posterboard) blank, decorate the rest of its face with glitter, ribbons, magical symbols, herbs, or any other items linked with the attributes of prosperity. Next, take the dollar bill and cut off the four corners. Glue the bill's triangular corners to the four corners of your card. This is sympathetic magic--one must have money to attract money. Then, either on the back of the card, or on a separate piece of paper, write out instructions for using the talisman:
"This is a talisman of prosperity. Place this card someplace where you will see it every day, preferably in a bedroom. At least once a day hold the card to your breast and spend several minutes reciting the chant: 'Talisman of prosperity, All good things now come to me.' "
Be sure to strongly visualize the success of the talisman as you are constructing it. When blessed, decorated, and wrapped, this simple card becomes a cherished and functional gift. May all your ventures be prosperous and many blessings abound in your life.

Holiday Plans
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Tue Dec 14, 2010 10:01 pm (PST)
I apologize for only being online intermittently. I've been busy finalizing plans and packing for a cruise to the Bahamas. We (my youngest daughter, my oldest daughter, her hubby & their children, and I) leave on the 16th and return Dec. 20. With the weather we've been having here in Florida, I am definitely looking forward to warmer weather.
I will be online a couple of more times before we depart.
Love Each Day,
Lady Nightshayde
