I am seeking a mentor and or group locally in colorado to learn all aspects of the mystic world. Very drawn to stones, touch therapy and herbal therapy. Certified tantra practitioner looking to grow within that genre as there is sooo much to learn. Also seeking new location for the soft touch energy massage I currently do. Thank you for any help or advice! Firefly

Heyla Firefly,

What part of Colorado are you in? If you are interested I know of
two ADF Groves in the area. One is Silver Branch Golden Horn in Denver
and the other is The New Village Grove in Colorado Springs. If you are
not familiar with ADF here is a link to their main site,
http://www.adf.org/core/ .As far as places looking for Energy Massage
workers I know that there are a few places up in Manitou Springs that do
that kind of work and they may be looking for other practitioners. Same
goes for Tantra. Hope this helps and welcome to the group and the area.
Walk in Peace.

Michelle,
   Upon reading ur letter I hear the answer within the question.   The Bear is ur mother letting u know she is still with u & "watchin over u".  The deer represents being gentle with yourself & allowing yourself to feel the grief but more importantly "know" ur Mom is not gone, she's always with u & find comfort & strength in that fact.
   The "buck" in the road, male energy.......Is their a dominate male in ur life, standing in ur way?  Or perhaps U need to Change Lanes now, immediately!??
   I've been into paying attention to my dreams for over 50 yrs.   And realize the dream symbol meanings r unique to each individual, as my dghtr loves spiders, I freak out at spiders so that animal symbols differs for us.  However, I got this message oout of ur wording in ur letter.  Hope this helps!     
Blessed Be My Sister,
Wynona Moon

I just emailed the company that said they would rehire me.  I am working with St Joe the worker.  They would pay for the training, uniforms, and later help me get a place to stay.  I have been watched since I got here.  They are trying to figure out why I came back!  I am in the overflow mens Cass lot.  Ed

I am now in Phoenix Arizona!  I thank those that made the trip from Houston to Phoenix possible!  The ones that was to meet me cancelled!  I figured they would for I was forwarned of the trap they set for me!  I walked from the bus station to the location.  No one tried to stop me or anything!  I am well and safe in Phoenix Arizona!  Merry Meet and Merry Part!  Blessed be!

I'm pretty new to all of this, and I have to be self-taught as I'm from a small town. After reading a few different methods for sheilding and grounding I decided to put it into practice and used visualisation to set up a sheild. However, as soon as I opened my eyes I felt... not dizzy exactly but a little disoriented. I let the sheild fall because I'm guessing that's not what it's meant to feel like. Any advice as to what is the cause of the disoriention, or a different method to use which will prevent this? Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

Merry Meet,

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Ana, although I go by many names depending on the situation or whom I am encountering. I have been studying this path for quite some time, but never felt confident enough to tell anyone or to pronounce my religion as Wicca when asked. I feel that I am still learning, although I have been pulled by the Goddess toward this path of enlightenment and I feel her all around me at every moment, I do not feel that I have the tools or the resources to fully serve her. I also am still confused as to what my talents are that she is telling me to use to aid others.

I have been reading the posts today, and have already learned so many things...not necessarily things I didn't know, but they have given me positive confirmation that I have been doing things correctly and that I am following the right path, even though sometimes I take a wrong turn and have to double back.

I hope to network and communicate with others and to be able to ask questions and answer some.

I am currently living in Southern AZ, but am in the process of moving myself and my children back to my hometown in VT. I am a single mother of three children, one of which is married herself and is going to deliver my first grandchild in/around the beginning of June. My other two children are teenagers, my youngest daughter also feels drawn to the goddess and she has recently started studying and learning, mostly from me and from books that I read first so that I can make sure it is something that teachers her goodness.

Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction; I look forward to learning and becoming an active member of this community.

Blessed be,
Ana

hi i wanted to thanks for the oportunity. english is not my mother tonge so i migth most probably make loads of mistakes here. I have been pagan for almost 2 decades and i keep discovering interesting stuff, one big problem i found in my way is that most of the information is for people in the north i live in argentina (south america) and with time i found out that the tipe (quality and cuantity) of information that were more appealing and acurate came from australia and new zeland. So i need to thanks you there for translate into the south the old rediscover ways. Although most surely not knowing it or without that intention all pagans in australia and new zeland brought ligth into my path.

thanks
celeste

p.d:i hope this is the right way to send you a mail, my first time answering in a foro

Re: The Christian Lens: Why Goddess Worshiping Greeks Had No Pornogr

Hi Everyone-

I read the article that was written and I have to strongly disagree with it. I don't think that a Christian lens has necessarily made drug use bad and pornography evil because they add morals to it. The Greeks didn't have the types of drugs we see being used today. We all see how meth, cocaine and various other drugs destroy families and people. It is not because that happens due to the views of it being wrong and therefore causes these ill repercussions
As for pornography, I strongly am against it. We are talking about a society that having sex with children was the norm. Prostitution is a subject that goes much deeper than Greeks being open minded about it. We have to take in account that affects on the psyche of the prostitute themselves. There is a huge difference between sexual freedom and pornography.
So what that they were a Goddess worshiping society, it doesn't mean things were ok and everyone was happy. Women in Athens were equivalent to slaves. Men had full control of all property and the wives had hardly anything for themselves. Women were restricted to mainly being indoors and the births of girls were disappointments. Their Goddesses are remarkable but it does not mean that human women were look upon the same way.
The Greeks have given us some really good things that I doubt we could do without. It does not necessarily mean they were a really great society.

Good evening brothers and sisters. I have joined this group in hopes of finding those in my area of like mind and heart. I am a 30 year old wife, mother, college student, and full time Collector. I love the earth and everything to do with it. I do not preach to others of my ideas unless they ask for it. I am Wiccan and have been studying Wicca for many years. Christianity always felt "wrong" and never reached my heart as Wicca has. Please feel free to message me with any questions. I am open to almost everything.
