Daily Horoscope: Thursday, December 30, 2010
Moon Alert
We have the "all clear" today to shop (whether you spend $10 or 10 million)
and make important decisions. The Moon is in Scorpio.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is an excellent day to deal with red tape details about insurance
matters, inheritances, shared property, taxes, or debt. People are much more
cooperative today. Not only that, you feel hot and sexy. You're in the mood
to party! "Baby needs a new pair of shoes!"
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Because today's Moon is totally opposite your sign, you will have to go more
than half way when dealing with others. But hey -- this is no biggie. You
can do it. Be flexible, compromising, patient and easy-going -- then your
own day will be better as well.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Do whatever you can to get better organized at work and at home today. You
want your life to run more efficiently. Fortunately, coworkers are helpful
now. In fact, some coworkers are so helpful that a little flirtation or love
affair might begin on the job. Woo, woo!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
It's Thursday, and it's the perfect time to have some pre-weekend fun! You
re in the mood to party! Enjoy sports today. Anything to do with the
entertainment world, the hospitality industry, and playful activities with
children will also delight you. Enjoy yourself!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Great day to entertain at home. Invite the gang over for pizza and beer!
Family discussions will go well. In fact, anything to do with a family
business can be nicely promoted today. Be receptive to family conversations
if others want to talk.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a lovely day to schmooze with others, especially relatives and
siblings. It's also a good day to sell, promote, market, teach, act, proof,
edit or write something. You have a desire to enlighten others. Lord knows
you have the facts!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Trust your money-making ideas today. This is a good day for business and
commerce in general. It might also be a positive day for shopping or
investigating new ways of earning money. If you do shop now, you will be
pleased with goodies and treasures for yourself and loved ones.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You might feel a bit more emotional than usual today because the Moon is in
your sign today. However, good news -- whenever the Moon is in your sign,
you are just a little bit luckier than all the other signs. Why not ask the
universe for a favour? (You might get it.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Work alone or behind the scenes today. Keep a low-profile. There's some
private business you have to attend to. For some, it's a secret love affair
or some kind of relationship that you're keeping under cover. Oh my!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is a great day to schmooze with others. In particular, you'll enjoy
chatting with a female friend. Perhaps someone needs to confide in you or
vice versa? Share your goals and dreams for the future with others to see
what their feedback is. You might be surprised at the helpful suggestions
that come your way.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Some aspect of your private life might suddenly be public today, especially
in the eyes of bosses, parents, teachers, and VIPs. (Actually, this includes
the police as well. Be aware of this.) You are being scrutinized and
noticed!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Do something different today. Shake it up a little. You have a strong sense
of adventure and you want to learn something new. Go some place you've never
been to before. Visit libraries, universities, ethnic restaurants. Order
extra hot! (Just kidding. I always order medium.)
If Your Birthday Is Today
Musician Bo Diddley (1928-2008) shares your birthday today. Essentially, you
re a realist. You can adapt to any situation. This means you know how to get
along wherever you are and work with what you have. You're independent, but
you like order in your surroundings. (You work very well on your own.) In
the year ahead, you will let go off something you've been involved with for
nine years to make room for something new.

2.: Edible Flowers Selection and Storage

Edible Flowers Selection and Storage
Do not eat flowers from a florist

Edible flower selection
With the widespread use of pesticides by commercial growers, it's important
to select edible flowers from a supplier who grows them specifically for
consumption. Do not eat flowers obtained from a florist.

Your best bet is to grow them yourself, so you know they are completely
pesticide-free. However, many grocery stores and gourmet markets now sell
edible flowers. If you are choosing homegrown flowers to eat, be certain you
know your flowers as not all flowers are edible. Some can cause serious
stomach problems and some are quite poisonous. Pick homegrown flowers in the
morning or late afternoon when the water content is high.

Select flowers that are freshly-opened, perky and free of any bug-eaten or
diseased spots. Normally, the petals are the only portion to be eaten, with
the notable exception of safflower and crocus (saffron) whose stigma are
prized as an herb.
Edible flower storage
Be sure to wash flowers thoroughly by bathing them gently in a bath of salt
water. Perk them up by dropping into a bowl of ice water for 30 to 60
seconds, and drain on paper towels. Then carefully remove petals or other
parts to be consumed.

You may wish to trim off the whitish part of the petal where it connects to
the stem as it can often be bitter. It's best to store flowers whole in a
glass of water in the refrigerator until you need to use them. You can store
petals for a day in a plastic bag in the refrigerator, but your optimum goal
should be to use them within a few hours.

Your Animal Spirit for Today
December 30, 2010

Panther

Panther medicine is the medicine of silence. Panther can stalk its prey in
absolute silence—one of the reasons native tribes associate him with the
spirit world—particularly the night. Panther can show you how to face the
Shadow within and bring it out into the Light. Panther is powerful
medicine—and the fact that you choose him says much about your willingness
to face the unknown.

7.: Raising, Directing and Releasing Energy in Ritual and Spell Work

Raising, Directing and Releasing Energy in Ritual and Spell Work

Author: Seleya
Posted: December 12th. 2010
Times Viewed: 1,237

One of the most important aspects of both ritual and spell work is the
raising, directing and releasing of energy. While most understand the
concepts, the reality is something altogether different. Since no two people
are the same, and no two people resonate with the same methods of raising,
directing and releasing energy, it is important to understand the nature of
these three functions of energy usage.

While it's simple to say: "…here is where we raise the energy, direct it and
than release it…" it's quite another thing to actually accomplish those
three little things. Some say dance, sing, chant, drum, etc., but what are
we actually doing while we dance, sing, chant, drum, etc.? Does the dancing,
singing, chanting, drumming themselves matter? The answer is no! What
matters is the energy raised when these actions are performed by the person
or people involved.

So how do we raise, direct and release energy? By using any method we are
comfortable with that will help us to focus our minds, focus our intent,
focus the energy in us, around us in our immediate environment, in the Earth
the Sun and the Universe; to bring the energy to us, and into our circles,
to accomplish the desired purpose.

Many people are in such a hurry, they omit the "grounding" part, that should
always be at the very beginning or any work, be it ritual, ceremony or spell
First, this helps to connect us to the energy in ourselves, our environment
and the Earth, Sun and Universe, than that connection "grounds" us, by
helping us to shift our attention, our focus and our consciousness to an
altered state (i.e.: from the mundane to the sacred or higher consciousness)
. It is from this "altered" state that we raise, direct, and release energy,
by setting aside all thoughts and focus on our daily lives and moving into
an altered state.

Without the shift in consciousness, it's just dancing, singing, chanting, or
drumming... all mundane experiences, in and of themselves. The "magic"
starts with the mind shifting to an altered state, where it can focus on
actually raising, directing and releasing energy.

By "raising" energy, we are increasing the level of energy within not only
ourselves but within the circle we have cast. As the energy begins to
increase, we focus and concentrate it or condense it, until it is nearly
palpable. It doesn't matter what "method" we use to raise the energy, only
that that form resonates with our psychic, our bodies, or emotions and our
spirits. We have to reach out to the energy we are attempting to raise, with
our hearts, minds, souls and spirits; we have to become one with it. Once
that connection has been established, we can than move on to "directing".

The directing of energy is the beginning of actually "using" the energy
raised. It's the part where we take the focused and condensed energy, and
"point" it at and "direct" it into the work at hand; be it ritual, healing
or spell. The raised energy must be sent into that which we desire to become
reality. Without this step the energy will simply dissipate, and eventually
drain into the Earth; any residual, left over energy will make us feel edgy,
nervous, agitated or nauseous.

The most important part is the "releasing" part. We have to release the
raised energy into the working; we can't "hold" onto it, or the working will
fail for a lack of energy. However, this last step is the most difficult to
accomplish. Because we have connected with the energy we have raised, in the
process of raising it; it is natural to "hang on" and stay connected to it.
In order to "release" it we must sever that connection and re-shift our
consciousness back into a mundane state. We have to move our consciousness
away from the "work" and focus on something mundane, like the "cakes and
ale".

Now comes the hardest part of all. Just saying, "I am releasing the energy",
during the ritual or spell, is not enough. We have to actually and
COMPLETELY release all the energy, all focus, thought and worry or
anticipation about the "working". If we hang onto to any part of it, we are
maintaining our connection to the energy, and will drain it away from our
work. We cannot think about, worry about or "wonder" when the "work" will
come to fruition. We have to "know" that by fully releasing all energy, all
thought, all connection to the work, it has already become reality, even if
we have not yet experienced it.

There is no magic wand like in the Harry Potter novels; the "work" or
"magic" has to be allowed to function along natural lines in accordance with
the Universal Laws of physics. We will not wake up in the morning
miraculously thin, rich, etc. Everything in its due course. If the energy
has been properly raised, directed and released, then the work is already
done. It has already come about, whether we can see it at the moment or not.
It's out there, and on its way to us in what ever form we need or that the
Gods determine.

The more we want something, need something; the more difficult it will be to
do the last part – the releasing. In the mid 80's, I attended several "spoon
bending" workshops conducted by a physicist named Jack Hoak. He and a
Metallurgist friend were working for the Pentagon at the time, conducting
experiments on using the mind to bend metal (with a war application, of
course) . In the workshops we learned to bend silver spoons, forks and
knives with the power of our minds. And yes, it does work!

The children did if first and the rest followed quickly. The trick? Release.

It was during these workshops that I really learned to understand the
concept of "release". It was easy to concentrate on the spoon bending, but
quite another thing to remove all focus from the spoon so it could actually
"bend". My first spoon bent, when the person next to me squealed with
delight as their spoon bent, the moment my attention was completely drawn
away from my own spoon, it bent. I had released the energy I was mentally
focusing and directing at the spoon "to bend", and then it did.

While it seemed to work best when there are many people present (easily
raising the energy?) , it has yet to work for me when I am alone. Partly
because of my own belief that it will only work with others present, and
partly because there is nothing to distract me into releasing my energy.
Practice - I need more practice.

It all takes practice. Be patient, it's helpful to start out with the little
things and work up to the bigger things. We must believe to see, not the
other way around.

As with everything – practice, practice, practice.

12.: The 'Murder of the Hammersmith Ghost'.

Posted by: "Ladydragonheart" kellyann65@bellsouth.net kellyann65@bellsouth.net

Thu Dec 30, 2010 4:53 pm (PST)

The 'Murder of the Hammersmith Ghost'.
The case of Francis Smith - Condemned to Death on 13th of January 1804 for
the 'Murder of the Hammersmith Ghost'.

Written and compiled by George Knowles.
While much of the below story has been fictionalized by the author under
'artistic license', the names, dates and places mentioned remain true as
presented in a copy of the Old Bailey trail records from the period. This
is a true-life story.
During the latter part of 1803 in the dark and foggy streets of Hammersmith,
London, strange and mysterious happenings began to occur. Rumours of a
spectral white figure haunting the local graveyard where reported. Such was
the superstitious nature of people in those times that the "Ghost" was
thought to be that of a local man who a year earlier had committed suicide
by cutting his own throat and was buried in the same local graveyard. One
incident in particular sent such fear and apprehension spreading through the
area, it would later lead to the death of an innocent man.
At approximately 10.00 pm on a dark and frosty evening before Christmas, a
lady of the neighborhood intent on reaching home and the warmth of a
hearth-side fire, took a short cut crossing near to the graveyard. When
much to her surprise she saw raising amongst the tombstones the spectral
figure of a man, she would later describe the figure as "very tall and very
white". Remembering the stories circulating about the suicide victim, terror
and fear gripped the woman and she attempted to run away. However, the
ghost proved to be much quicker, it soon overtook her then turned, reached
out, and rapped his spectral arms around her, at which point the woman
fainted.
Some hours later neighbours worried because she had not returned home and
concerned for her welfare, sent out a search party to look for her. They
found her in a state of shock wondering aimlessly near to the graveyard.
Kindly the neighbours lead her home, whereupon she took to her bed and never
again rose. While other sightings of the ghost were still being reported,
hers was the only fatality attributed to what was now being called 'the
Hammersmith Ghost'.
The death of a local resident angered many in the community, but what was
still to be determined was if the apparition was a real ghost, or whether it
was some misguided prankster intent on terrorizing the neighborhood. A
watch committee was set up in an effort to find the answer, and several of
the men-folk lay in wait on different nights hoping to catch the nuisance.
But this was not an easy task for there were many paths and lanes leading to
the graveyard and the ghost always seemed to be on one left unguarded. His
tricks continued unabated much to the terror of those necessarily passing by

Francis Smith was a young excise officer living in loggings near to the area
of the hunting's; he was also one of those who volunteered his services to
the neighborhood watch committee. However, Smith was growing increasingly
irritated with the committee's inability to catch the elusive prankster. On
the night of the 3 January 1804 while returning home from work, as was his
want Smith stopped off for his usual tipple at the White Hart, a local
boozer in the neighborhood. While he was there the general conversation
turned to the subject of the Hammersmith Ghost, a topical subject never far
from the lips of those who lived in the area. Smith was normally a mild and
placid man, but on this evening perhaps emboldened by liquid spirit, he
determined that he himself would be the one to catch the perpetrator.
Smith left the White Hart for his lodgings nearby where he loaded up his
fowling piece with gunpowder and shot. He had decided not to lay in wait
with the others members of the committee that evening, but instead to go out
and stalk the stalker on his own. With that he set off gun in hand for
Black Lion Lane, a known favourite haunting ground of the so-called ghost.
It was a dark, dark night and particularly so on Black Lion Lane, which was
always dark at the best of times. The lane runs between two high hedges and
that evening the weather being fowl, it was so obscure that a person on the
other side of the road could not be properly distinguish.
The time was just approaching eleven o'clock as Smith cautiously made his
way up Black Lion Lane. Along the way much of the 'Dutch courage' that had
motivated him earlier, dissipated as the natural noises of the night
stretched his nerves. Then as he was about to cross Limekiln Lane he
suddenly encountered an indistinct 'white clad' figure approaching him.
"Stop, who goes there" he called out, albeit rather timorously. He
perceived no response, just an eerie silence.
Again he called out, this time more strongly "Stop, who goes there", adding,
"Speak out or I shall shoot", but still the figure made no reply and
continued to advance upon him.
Fear now gripped Smith and assuming it the ghost, he shouldered his gun,
leveled it at the apparition's head and fired. The ball of shot entered
through the mouth of the apparition and exited through the back of the neck,
at the same time the figure flipped over backwards and crumpled to the
ground twitching spasmodically for a moment or two before lying still. As
Smith approached the fallen figure, to his horror he realized and discovered
that the ghost was indeed a real man. The man on the ground was Thomas
Millwood, a local bricklayer dressed in a bricklayer's usual apparel of
white trousers, white apron and a white linen jacket. Fearful of his
mistake, Smith then turned away and headed off down Limekiln Lane in search
for help.
He hadn't gone far when a Mr John Locke accompanied by Mr Stowe and a local
watchman Mr William Girdle met him, they had all come out together to
investigate the noise of the shot. Smith though babbling almost
incoherently tried to confess his mistake and immediately led them back to
the fallen body; he then surrendered himself into their custody. The high
constable was then called and Smith was arrested and taken to Bow Street
Police Station, there to await the results of the Coroner's inquest. During
the following inquest, the Coroner judged the incident to have been 'a rash
act of willful murder' and so Smith was charged. He was then sent to
Newgate Prison to await his trial at the Old Bailey.
The trial was fated to be set during the next sessions at the Old Bailey,
which just happened to land on Friday the 13th of January 1804 (un-lucky for
some, as it 'would be' for Francis Smith). The presiding judge for the
trail was Lord Chief Justice Baron before whom the prosecution proceeded to
make their case of murder.
The prosecution called their first witness Mr John Locke, a wine-merchant
who lived in the area and one of the first to arrive on the scene of the
murder. Locke stated that: "On the 3rd of January at about eleven in the
evening he had heard the noise of a shot being fired, on investigating with
two others Mr Stowe and Mr William Girdle, he had met the prisoner who
confessed he had shot a man he believed to be the Ghost of Hammersmith. He
went with the prisoner in company with the two others, back up Limekiln Lane
to Black Lion Lane where they found the deceased lying on the ground and
apparently dead. He then consulted with Mr Stowe upon what was proper to be
done and they directly sent for the high constable".
Locke further stated that the body had no appearance of life and that there
was a shot in the left jaw. The prisoner he said: "was very much agitated
and became more so when he told him the consequences likely to result from
his misconduct". The prisoner replied, said Locke: "that he had fired, but
that he did not know the person whom he had shot. He also said that before
he fired, he had spoken twice to the deceased but received no answer".
Mr Const the defence counsel for the prisoner then cross-examined the
witness Locke. From him he determined that for some five weeks previous to
the murder, the ghost had been the subject of general conversation in
Hammersmith, though Locke confessed he had never actually seen it. Of the
conversation Locke told the court, that the dress in which the ghost was
said to appear corresponded with that worn by the deceased, it being white.
The deceased said Locke had on white trousers down to his shoes, a white
apron around him and a white flannel jacket on his body. According to the
conversations said Locke, the ghost sometimes appeared in white and
frequently in a calf's skin.
The defence than asked Locke about the prisoner's state of mind when they
met, to which Locke responded: "The prisoner was so agitated when we met
him that he could scarcely speak and was rambling on about how the deceased
after he had called out to him had continued to advance towards him. This
he surmised augmented the fear of the prisoner so much that he fired".
Locke then described how the evening had been very dark and visibility very
poor. He also told the court how the prisoner, when he first mentioned the
accident had expressed his desire that he take him into custody, or send for
some other person to do so. The prisoner said Locke was a man mild and
humane, and had a generous temper.
Next the prosecution called William Girdle, the watchman who also lived in
the area. After stating that he had accompanied Mr Locke to the place of
the murder, he described in detail the posture and position in which they
had found the deceased. "He was lying on his back stretched out and quite
dead" he said, "with a gaping wound in his left jaw".
On his cross-examination by the defence, Girdle then told the court that:
"He had seen the supposed ghost himself on the Thursday before, that being
the 29th of December. He had encountered it opposite the fourth milestone
where it seemed to be covered with a sheet or large tablecloth. He had
tried to pursue it but without success, for the spirit pulled off the sheet
and ran. The alarm had been very great for some six weeks or so, and many
people had been terribly frightened". He also stated that he knew the
prisoner and that he was nothing like a cruel man.
Next to take the stand was Anne Millwood, the sister of the deceased. She
told the court how on the night of the murder she had had a dreadful
premonition that something bad was about to happen to her brother. She had
heard all the gossip and talk of a ghost stalking up and down the
neighborhood dressed all in white, with horns and a glass eye, but she had
not known that anybody was watching in order to discover and detect the
impostor. She then explained how she had left her house in order to look
for and warn him. The night she said was very poor and she could see scarce
to nothing, but as she walked down Limekiln Lane she heard a voice call out:
"Stop, who goes there", and after a pause "Speak out or I shall shoot", it
was followed moments later by the loud report of a gun.
The prosecution then called upon Dr Flowers, a medical surgeon to give
evidence as to the cause of death. He stated to the court that: "Thomas
Millwood had died from a single gunshot wound to the lower left jaw, the
shot of which had penetrated the vertebra of the neck and consequently
injured the spinal marrow of the brain. He further observed that the
deceased's face had been blackened by gunshot powder, thus indicating that
he had been shot at close range".
The defence then called in Mrs. Fullbrook, the mother-in-law of the deceased
who stated that: "On the Saturday evening before his death, Thomas (the
deceased) had told her how two ladies and a gentleman had taken fright at
him as he was coming down the terrace, them thinking he was the ghost. He
said he told them he was no more a ghost than any of them and asked the
gentleman if he wished for a punch in the head. She had then advised Thomas
(the deceased) to in future put on a greatcoat in order that he might not be
mistaken and encounter danger.
Another witness was called in for the defence, a Mr Thomas Groom to prove
that some supernatural being had actually visited the town of Hammersmith.
Groom stated that he was servant to Mr Burgess, a brewer and that as he and
a fellow servant were walking through the churchyard one night, something
which he did not see had caught hold of him by the throat. He had been
terribly frightened by the attack.
Finally in conclusion for the defence, a number of witnesses were then
called as to the prisoner's character, which they described as mild and
gentle in the extreme.
Lord Chief Justice Baron in his address to the jury said that: "However
disgusted the jury might feel in their own minds with the abominable person
guilty of the misdemeanor of terrifying the neighborhood, still the prisoner
had no right to construe such misdemeanor into a capital offence, or to
conclude that a man dressed in white was a ghost. It was his own opinion
and was confirmed by those of his learned brethren on the bench, that if the
facts stated in evidence were credible, the prisoner had committed murder.
In this case there was a deliberate carrying of a loaded gun, which the
prisoner concluded he was entitled to fire but which he really was not; and
he did fire it with a rashness the law did not excuse.
The jury then retired to consider the case, after more than an hour they
returned with a verdict of 'Guilty of Manslaughter'.
On hearing this verdict, it was stated by the Bench that such a judgment
could not be received in this case, for it ought to be either a verdict of
murder or of acquittal. If the jury believed the facts, there was no
extenuation that could be admitted for supposing that the unfortunate man
was not the individual really meant to have been shot; the prisoner would
still have been guilty of murder. Even with respect to civil processes, if
an officer of justice used a deadly weapon it was murder if he occasioned
death by it, even although he had a right to apprehend the person he had so
killed.
Mr Justice Rooke from the Bench said: "The Court has no hesitation whatever
with regard to the law and therefore the verdict must be 'guilty of murder'
or 'a total acquittal from want of evidence'.
Mr Justice Lawrence from the Bench then said: "You have heard the opinion
that the whole Court is settled as to the law on this point, it is therefore
unnecessary for me to state mine in particular. Upon every point of view
this case is in the eye of the law is a 'murder case' if it be proved by the
facts. Whether it has or not is for you to determine and return your
verdict accordingly. The law has been thus stated by Justice Foster and all
the other most eminent judges".
Lord Chief Justice Baron as the presiding judge then stated: "I perfectly
agree with the learned judges who have spoken" and turning back to the jury
said, "Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury consider your verdict again".
The jury again retired and after a short consultation returned with a
verdict of "Guilty of Murder".
Lord Chief Baron then said: "This case ladies and gentlemen shall be
reported to his Majesty immediately". He then passed sentence of death on
the prisoner in the usual form, he was to be executed on Monday next and his
body given to the surgeons to be dissected.
The prisoner dressed in a suit of black clothes was then just twenty-nine
years of age. He was a short but well-made man with dark hair and eyebrows.
The pallid hue of his countenance during the trial together with the
telling signs of contrition which he had exhibited throughout, commanded the
sympathy of every spectator. When the dreadful words of "Guilty of Murder"
were pronounced, he had sunken down into a state of stupefaction exceeding
despair. He was at last retired supported by the servants of the court.
And so it was that the man who shot and killed a ghost, was himself
sentenced to die.
But 'Hey-Up! - 'Wait!' There's a happy end to the story for fate stepped in
to save him :-)
Lord Chief Justice Baron having told the jury after they had given their
verdict, that he would immediately report the case to his Majesty, was so
speedy in this humane office that a "respite during pleasure" arrived at the
Old Bailey before seven o'clock that same evening. Then on the 25th January
1804 Francis Smith received a full pardon on condition of being imprisoned
for one year.
End.
