DailyOM: Acceptance As Giving
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411

DailyOM - Allowing Ourselves To Receive
Today's DailyOM brought to you by:
January 6, 2011
Acceptance As Giving
Allowing Ourselves To Receive
When we can allow ourselves to receive as well as give, we do our part to keep the channels of abundance open.
Giving and receiving are part of the same cycle, and we each give and receive in our own ways. But we can lose our balance when we try to be too controlling on either side of the cycle. On the receiving end, we may feel that we don't deserve the effort made if what we gave was easy for us to give. But perhaps there is a different lesson there for us. We may be receiving not only gratitude, but a chance to see the world through the eyes of another. We may be learning that just because we gave easily, it doesn't diminish its value. Or perhaps the universe is giving us an example to hold close to our hearts, to encourage us on some future day when our own generous act of giving is not met with a visible act of receiving. When we can allow ourselves to receive as well as give, we do our part to keep the channels of abundance open for ourselves and others.
Sometimes we may find ourselves struggling to respond to others' gifts in the same ways like responding to an expensive present with something equally expensive, or feeling like we have to throw a dinner party for someone who has thrown one for us. But when these are done out of a sense of obligation, their energy changes from something that shares to something that drains. If this sounds familiar, we can decide next time to allow ourselves to receive with arms, minds and hearts open and simply say thank you.
Accepting a person's gift is a gift in itself. Sincere appreciation for their acknowledgement and their effort joins our energy with theirs in the cycle of giving and receiving, and nurtures all involved. If ever we find we are still having difficulty, we can decide to allow ourselves to be conduits for gratitude and accept on behalf of a loving, giving universe.

Friday Finds An Idea!
Friday January 7, 2011
9:00 am - 10:00 am
(This event repeats every week.)
Notes:
As we know the goal is to live our lives magically in the moment every day in the now and while it would be nice to go and buy all the cool witchy stuff that is out there...their is so much in every day objects that we can use around the home.
So here is what I suggest...Post up an every day object once a week and let the creative juices flow and post up what we would or could possibly use it for magically.
I thought it would be kinda cool and inspiring...whatcha think..
Namaste'

DailyOM: Beyond Behavior

DailyOM - Defense Mechanisms
Today's DailyOM brought to you by:
January 7, 2011
Beyond Behavior
Defense Mechanisms
Defense mechanism behaviors that have worked for you in the past may not fit you anymore and need to change.
We all have defense mechanisms that we've developed over time, often without being aware of it. In times of trouble, the behaviors that have worked to get us past challenges with the least amount of pain are the ones that we repeat; even when part of us knows they no longer work. Such behavior is a natural response from our mental and physical aspects. But because we are spiritual beings as well, we have the ability to rise above habits and patterns to see the truth that lay beyond. And from that moment on, we can make choices that allow us to work directly from that place of truth within us.
Most of our defense mechanisms were developed in childhood; from the moment that we realized crying would get us the attention we craved. Passive aggressive ways of communicating may have allowed us to get what we needed without being scolded, punished or laughed at, so we learned to avoid being direct and honest. Some of us may have taken refuge in the lives of others, discovering ways to direct attention away from ourselves entirely. Throwing ourselves into projects or rescuing others from themselves can be effective ways to avoid dealing with our own issues. And when people are truly helped by our actions, we get the added bonus of feeling heroic. But while defenses can keep away the things we fear, they can also work to keep our good from us.
When we can be honest with ourselves about what we truly desire, then we can connect our desires to the creative power of the spirit within us. Knowing that we are one with the energy of the universe allows us release any need for defense. Trusting that power, we know that we are exactly where we are meant to be, and that challenges bring gifts of growth and experience. When we can put down arms raised in defense, then we are free to use our hands, minds, hearts and spirits to mold and shape our abundant energy to create and live our lives.

--------------------- --------- --------- --------- --------
BLACK SWAN LAKE is located 5 minutes off the scenic and historical highway: US-50, about 15 miles east of Bedford, Indiana in the Clear Spring area. BSL is a large alternative campground with 2 stocked fishing lakes (no swimming), a round house where Native American ceremonies have taken place, several roofed gazebos, one large open space for the main circle (where the electric stage is set up and the evening jam happens), surrounded by plenty of RV/van/camper space with water and electric hook-ups ($5/day for electric), two wooded tent camping areas, showers and privies, large air-conditioned community building with a stage for acoustic music, and a restaurant/concessions building (3 meals a day). No problem with drumming and jamming all night long and celebrating nature without harassment. There is plenty of clean well water (the best in the area) and ice made from that water is available. The owners are into earth-based spirituality, organic
gardening, and sustainable living.
--------------------- --------- --------- --------- --------
NO PETS POLICY - no negotiation - just don’t bring any. If you have a legitimate seeing eye dog we need to know that before hand. This is a site owner policy.
NO WEAPONS - Leave all weapons at home. They are not appropriate at festivals of this size. No exceptions. This is private land and these are the necessary rules.
--------------------- --------- --------- --------- --------
VENDING - If you plan to vend non-food merchandise and/or hand-made goods/crafts at any of the above festivals, please register/purchase your ticket soon and, after doing so, send us a self-promo blurb with hot links to your online site and we’ll add it to the website. Let us know which fest you have purchased tickets to when you email aeonlaunch@yahoo.com and remember: there are no extra fees for vending - but food vending is taboo. The site owners have that covered (see below). You may vend at your encampment or on vendor row (see “camping areas†below)
--------------------- --------- --------- --------- --------
FOOD - Bring your own or purchase at the on-site restaurant run by the site owners. They have very reasonable/fair prices and want to know what you would like to eat. Send your food suggestions and requests to: aeonlaunch@yahoo.com … There will be ICE available, made on site from fresh spring water.
--------------------- --------- --------- --------- --------
DISHES & RECYCLING - No trash! No cig butts on the ground (pocket them if you smoke). Don’t bring trash and, if you do, bring a trash bag so it can go home with you. We have stations set up for recycling bottles and cans and recyclable plastics. Paper can be burnt in the fire pits. Garbage can be placed in the compost pile but no trash bins! Maybe you shouldn’t have brought that junk it in the first place (hint hint). To avoid using wasteful disposables - BRING A PLATE, CUP, & EATING UTENSILS. There is a dishwashing station set up by the restaurant and one by the shower house. Please use them.
--------------------- --------- --------- --------- --------
CAMPING AREAS - We have divided the festival site into several areas:
1) VENDOR ROW - camping at site (no electric) - or - with electric ($20 extra) - email us to see if any powered spaces are still open (register early to reserve space).
2) LIMITED RV - 24 sites with electricity ($20 extra) - email us to see if any powered spaces are still open (register early to reserve space). These are located around the central circle/stage.
3) VAN, BUS, & CAMPER FIELD - Need to camp out of your vehicle? This area is for you and it is adjacent to the fire gate of the main circle/stage so you won‘t miss the show.
4) PERFORMER/ARTIST CAMP - Wooded campsites set back behind the Round House performance area. This area is for musicians and artists. There are fire pits (firewood available on site), water stations, and electric hook-ups available ($20 extra). You can off-load your vehicle then park in the parking area nearby.
5) PEACEFUL WOODLAND TENTING - If you need to sleep at night, camp here. It is the quietest and most peaceful camping area, a short walk from the rest of the festival. You can off-load your vehicle then park in the parking area nearby. There are fire pits (firewood available on site) and water stations, nice big trees for daytime shading, and electric hook-ups available ($20 extra).
6) LAKESIDE SUBSTANCE FREE ZONE - We’ve set aside an area for the folks who wish to camp where no alcohol is consumed and where smoking is not allowed. If you want to camp in this area, just ask where it is when you arrive.
--------------------- --------- --------- --------- --------
PERFORMANCE SITES - We have three primary performance areas at the festivals:
1) INDOOR LOUNGE - open during the afternoon as a cool space and staging area for workshops, video productions & films, and for acoustic performers (there is a powered stage here).
2) ROUND HOUSE - at the Black Swan AAMF this is the late night DJ/remix dance party zone (starts at midnight) - at Lady Liberty and Acoustic Harmony, the round house will be one of the workshop areas and an evening jam session center.
3) MAIN CIRCLE STAGE - 360 degree sound system - this is “big band space†during the day and “community jam space†in the evening. This is the place for hooping, poi spinning, bubble blowing, dancing, and evening light shows.

Today's Goddess: ELEITHYIA Midwife's Day (Greek Macedonia)
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411

Today's Goddess: ELEITHYIA
Midwife's Day (Greek Macedonia)
Themes: Birth; Children; Creativity; Fertility
Symbols: A Torch; White Flowers
About Eleithyia: As the Aegean Goddess of birth, Eleithyia acts as the midwife to your
new year, filling it with creative power. Eleithyia's name translates as "Fluid of Generation," giving her strong fertile aspects, and she also
has a hand in personal fate.
According to myth, Eleithyia was the midwife of the gods and even birthed Eos,
the creative force behind all things. When Eleithyia's hands were
closed, birth was delayed. When Eleithyia opened her body, a child
arrives effortlessly.
To Do Today: The ancients honored their midwives today as the Goddess's assistants by giving them gifts. In modern times,
this might equate to sending a thank-you note to your physician or pediatrician.
If you bring Eleithyia's fertility to any area of your life this year, try this spell: Gather a handful of white flower petals. Work in an area
that somehow represents your goal. If you want a fertile garden, for
example, cast this spell in your garden; for fertile ideas, perform it
in your study. Visualize your goal as you release all but one petal,
turning clockwise to the winds saying:
The wish of my heart, Eleithyia see,
and bring back to me fertility.
Carry the last petal to help the magick manifest.

Connecting with the Goddess
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411

Connecting with the Goddess
.
The month of
January is often a time of low energy for many. The hustle of the
holidays is over, and another year, full of unknowns, had begun. Even
with the slowly lengthening days, we can still feel the effects of
limited sunshine on our bodies. When we honor the goddess during this
current Full Moon, we can reunite our energies with the divine source.
For this reunion, you will need a while or silver candle, jasmine or
another herb to represent your spiritual connection, an herb to
represent you, charcoal, and a fire-proof container. Begin by standing
in the goddess salute. State these or similar words:
Lady of the Moon
Mother of night,
Our energies are one
within your light.
Light the candle, visualizing your energy blending with the goddess's. Mix the two herbs
in your hands, continuing the visualization. Sprinkle the herbs onto the lighted charcoal. As the smoke rises, visualize your energies
intertwining with hers. Meditate and listen for her messages of
guidance. Thank her, and extinguish the candle.

Weather Lore ~ Part II
When the cuckoo sits on an empty bough
Keep your hay and sell your cow
A Saturday moon and a Sunday Full
Ne'er did good and ne'er w'll
A saturdays change to a sunday Full
comes to soon whene'er it w'll.
Upright new moon
good weather soon
The new moon's lying on her back
watching the clouds in the sky turn black.
see a rainbow in the morn,foul falls the day
rainbow to leeward,rain clears away.
see a rainbow in the morn,take a hook and cut the corn
see a rainbow in the eve,put your hook in the sheave.
If the cockeral crows on going to bed
He's bound to arise with rain overhead.
Straight up to the sky,skylarks rising
good weather coming,over the horizon.
The south winds always bring us wet weather
The North winds brings us both wet and cold together.
If candlemas day passes fair and fine
only half the winter is left behind
But if candlemas day do bluster and blow
then winter is over as all good folk know.
From christmas to may
weak cattle decay
A farm must have on candlemas day
half it's straw and half its hay.
fust it rain'd then it blaw'd
then it ail'd then it snaw'd
then it com'd a shower o' rain
then it vreez'd an blaw'd agean

A Witch's Bottle

A Witch's Bottle
Gather Rosemary, needles and pins and red wine. Fill a small jar with these
first three ingredients saying the following as you work:
"Pins, needles, rosemary and wine.
In this Witch's Bottle of mine;
Guard against harm and enmity;
This is my will, So mote it be!"
Visualize these herbs doing just that. When the jar is full, pour in red
wine. Then cap or cork the jar and drip wax from a black or red candle
around the seal.
Bury the jar at the farthest corner of your property or place it in an
inconspicuous spot in the house.
The Witch's bottle destroys negativity and evil; The pins and needles impale
evil, the wine drowns it and the rosemary sends it far from your property

Hopi Creation Myth
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Fri Jan 7, 2011 8:28 pm (PST)
Her beauty shines forth: Kokyanwhuti,
she who gives light and nourishes life,
the mother of all that lives and shall live.
There she stands, dressed in soft wool,
white and blue, woven with the symbols
of womanhood, the butterfly and the blossom.
Turquoise and shell and coral: these are
her jewels. Fair and warm and tender:
these are her expressions. Gleaming white:
this is the color of her soft skin boots.
Look how she smiles at us as she dances
on the shifting sands of time. Look
how she smiles at us before she disappears.
~Hopi Creation Myth
The beginning of each
year reminds us of all beginnings. It is a fertile and creative period
when anything seems possible. Like the Goddess Kokyanwhuti, the Hopi
Spider Woman, everything seems lovely, magnificent, abundant. Hope
swells in our hearts. we expect nothing but beauty before us, behind us, above us.
Yet in the ancient myth of creation, as soon as the Goddess appears, she disappears again. So
too in our lives, the brief enthusiasm of beginnings comes all too soon
to an end. All too soon, harsh reality sets in. Great plans seem foolish and unattainable, our lives seem pinched and small, hope seems to
disappear from our reach.
That same ancient myth
tells us an important secret, however: that the goddess did not
disappear, but submerged herself into the very reality that challenges
us. Our great dreams are not dead, only dispersed among the daily
efforts it takes to achieve them. Our great hopes are not dead, only
hidden within our hearts. Remembering the presence of the Goddess, even on dark and wintry days of the spirit, we can go forward to a greater
future.
