Wiccan author that are not historical inaccuracies "Do not read or share" list

What books would you put on the list historical inaccuracies and why?
The "Potato Trap," a total lack of research in some Wiccan text. Some Wiccan text tell us that the ancient Irish had a religious
belief that involved the worship of the potato as a symbol of
fertility. For example Witta: An Irish Pagan Tradition (Llewellyn's World Magic)(Author) Edain McCoy © 1993 (p.82).
In fact potatoes are not native to Ireland.

Some author doesn't have a basic understanding of the matter they have written about they have so many errors of fact. Authors that rewrites history intellectually dishonest, full of absurd historical inaccuracies claims of people promoting their Reconstructionists faith. Bogus claims it spreads among their religious community like fire until it is known as a 'fact.' There are author who wish to create for themselves an entirely new religion, they are fabricating history to validate it.

Historical inaccuracies,does it invalidate a tradition when it makes historical claims that are blatantly false?

Do you feel that bad research and bogus claims, and Historical inaccuracy undermines the credibility of us all,and the literature on which the modern Pagan movement was based?

Hello All.
My name is Carol. I'm not actually new here but I haven't posted in a long time. So, I thought I'd reintroduce myself. I discovered Wicca 15 years ago and have been practicing and learning since. I've been very lucky finding wonderful and wise teachers. I am a first degree initiate of the Alexandrian Tradition but no longer follow that trad. Currently, I work solitary although I have several good friends that I can celebrate with at times. I live in downstate NY. I have 3 daughters, 3 dogs (mix breed, long hair chihuahua and an English mastiff), 2 cats and a rat. Up until recently I managed a pet store. Now, I manage a dog training business. Obviously, I love animals. I look forward to getting to know you all better and learning and sharing with you all.

Finding Your Dreams

Posted by: "holly@ravenoriginals.com" holly@ravenoriginals.com   hollyberrysheart

Thu Aug 4, 2011 7:57 am (PDT)



Spirit brings me a peculiar message this morning … I’m not going to
question it .. I’m just going to keep typing as the message
evolves….

Finding Your Dreams

Have you lost your dreams?
Do you remember what once you dreamed?
Does it seems like a battle to let the visions flow?
Do you feel lost?
Does it feel like hope for tomorrow is gone?
Has passion left you?

Spirit tells me that you have yourself wound so tightly that you have
cut off the flow of life…. everything for you now will seem like a
struggle.

It is like you have allowed your worries, stress and your need to get to
a good place choke the flow of life and energy from your being.

Meditation is one way to help you find a calm, relaxing place within
yourself.

Spirit says you have got to let go… you have got to find some kind
peace with yourself and with life in general.

The stress is killing you… the worries are drowning all hope from your
life.

Hope is not truly gone.. it is there .. just as your visions are still
there … but it is like you have a thick cloud bank covering them..
blocking you from seeing and from feeling their presence.

Change your current behaviors… mix things up a bit and get yourself
out of some of the damaging routines that have developed over time..
never fear change.. change is necessary for us to move forward and to
grow.

Take a good look at the things in your life that are no longer doing you
any good and make the changes necessary. YOU are the only one who knows
what these changes are …. so don’t let others tell you whats good
for you … take those decisions upon yourself and trust your inner
guide. You know what needs to be done even tho you may feel quite lost
.. once you awaken to the knowledge that change needs to be made..
you’ll know what changes those are.

Be careful not to let fear and doubt steer you.

Many blessings,
Raventalker

Goddess Ideals Offer a Sustainable Future/Goddesses of Healing Voice

Posted by: "Karen Tate" karentate108@ca.rr.com   specialjourn

Thu Aug 4, 2011 1:45 pm (PDT)



Greetings Friends and Family,

Tune in to Voices of the Sacred Feminine in this rare opportunity to
hear your hostess, Karen Tate, discuss the *power of gratitude* and the
*healing powers of Isis, Sekhmet and Bast*. I also delve into our
recent Sacred Sunday services, the Isis Birthday Feast and *why Goddess
mythology/thealogy really does offer us a roadmap for a sustainable
future*, unlike patriarchy which has led us down a road of death and
destruction. Included in this show is my argument that secular law and
Goddess thealogy can be used to re-shape society and why Republicans are
the antithesis of Goddess ideals. The show concludes with a lovely
healing meditation. Please enjoy and send me your feedback and comments.

_*To listen just click here*_:
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/voicesofthesacredfeminine/2011/08/04/sex-mom-and-god-wfrank-schaeffer

Disregard the extension with Frank's name - in what is a rarity at
Voices of the Sacred Feminine, we had a last minute cancellation due to
illness of returning guest and NY Times best-selling author Frank
Schaeffer who was scheduled to talk about sex and the bible and his life
growing up with a missionary mother and in the Evangelical movement,
which he now rejects. Frank has rescheduled for September, but this
gave me the rare chance to spend the hour with you by myself.

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/voicesofthesacredfeminine/2011/08/04/sex-mom-and-god-wfrank-schaeffer

Remember if you cannot listen at 6PM Pacific, you can always catch this
show or any other show later from the archives at your convenience! If
you can't tune in live and have questions, you can always email your
questions several days before showtime. Thanks for your input and
feedback. Comments are always welcome.

with hallucinogenic honey and how the bee is connected to prophecy and

_Check out my You Tube Clip on Eco-Feminist/Goddess Thealogy for a
Sustainable Future_

*http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RA9TV49xrQ

Goddess is a Democrat !! Imagine the feedback from that statement in my
interviews with Riane Eisler and Starhawk on my radio show, Voices of
the Sacred Feminine. But what were we really saying in that statement
that might not have been immediately evident? We were saying the
strategy to move us toward that paradigm shift, into a post-kyriarchal
world, would not just be the use of secular law, but through a change in
thealogy - the mythology of the Sacred Feminine, deity, archetype and
ideal, might re-establish the foundations on our planet necessary for
sustainable future for all life and Mother Earth. Hear the line of
thought....presented at the WECSOR/American Academy of Religion by Dr.
Rev. Karen Tate. For more info go to www.karentate.com

Fw: [NPC] Warning From Mayan Elders of Coming Events

Warning From Mayan Elders of Coming Events
By Mitch Battros - Earth Changes Media
Jul 25, 2011 - 4:55:14 PM

Printer friendly page


I have received notice stating Mayan elders wish to contact me regarding events they believe to be coming in August. I believe the subject to be of earth changing events and geo-political fallout.


As related to geo-political, I can't help but think these issues would encompass the United States monetary position in the world's economy. There have also been predictions of a single strike nuclear exchange between Pakistan and India. It would appear this event has become more tangible than ever before.


As related to earth changing events, it would certainly reflect episodes of earthquake, volcano, hurricane, and extreme weather. Acknowledgement of the Sun and its changing effects on Earth will be deciphered.


Note to my science community: You might be surprised to find how much scientific research recently discovered in the last several months have in fact suggested an intimate causal connection between our Sun, Earth (solar system), and our galaxy Milky Way. To no surprise of many scientific colleagues, and a vast number of amateur researchers, electro-magnetism is the conduit of all things -- charged particles which extends the full spectrum of radiation from solar flares to gamma rays to galactic cosmic rays.


I believe the space-between-space which is often referred to as dark matter, dark energy, and black holes have been known by the Mayans (and other ancient tribes) for millennia. The Mayan's refer to it as 'the 5th element - ether'.

Introduction to Tarot: Week 3: The Major Arcana, Part 2

Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM   chic0411

Thu Aug 4, 2011 7:38 pm (PDT)





Introduction to Tarot: Week 3: The Major Arcana, Part 2
If you can't see this email, click here

Introduction to Tarot

Week 3: The Major Arcana, Part 2
From Patti Wigington, your Guide to Paganism / Wicca
Last week, your exercise was to draw one card each day out of the first eight cards of the Major Arcana. How did you do? Did you notice any patterns, or were all your results random? Was there a particular card that stood out to you?

This week, we're going to delve a bit further into the Major Arcana, and we're also going to look at the suits of Pentacles/Coins and Wands. We'll also expand on last week's daily card exercise.
The Major Arcana, Part 2: The Intuitive Mind

While the first section of the Major Arcana deal with our interactions in the material world, the second group of cards focuses more on the individual being, rather than societal issues. Cards 8 - 14 are based upon how we feel, instead of what we do or think. These cards are attuned to the needs of our hearts, as well as our search for faith and truth. It should be noted that in some decks, Card 8, Strength, and Card 11, Justice, are in opposite positions.

* 8 - Strength
* 9 - The Hermit
* 10 - The Wheel of Fortune
* 11 - Justice
* 12 - The Hanged Man
* 13 - Death
* 14 - Temperance

The Suit of Pentacles/Coins

In the Tarot, the suit of Pentacles (often portrayed as Coins) is associated with matters of security, stability and wealth. It's also connected to the element of earth, and subsequently, the direction of North. This suit is where you'll find cards that relate to job security, educational growth, investments, home, money and wealth. Go There

The Suit of Wands

In the Tarot, the suit of Wands is associated with matters of intuition, wit, and thought processes. It's also connected to the element of fire, and subsequently, the direction of South. This suit is where you'll find cards that relate to creativity, communication with others, and physical activity. Go There

Exercise: A Three Card Layout

Last week, you drew a single card each day. You may have noticed some trends and patterns. Now, add the second batch of Major Arcana cards into your pile, as well as the Wands and Pentacles. Shuffle them every morning, and repeat last week's exercise -- only this time, you'll draw three cards each morning, rather than just one. Look at all three as not just individual cards, but as parts of a whole. How do they fit together? Do two of them seem closely related while the third seems unconnected? Write down each card that you've drawn, and as the day goes on, see if events bring the cards to mind. You may be surprised when you look back at your day!

Next Week: The Major Arcana, Part 3

In Week 4, we'll review the last part of the Major Arcana, as well as the suits of Swords and Cups. Don't forget to practice drawing cards each day, and if you've gotten yourself a deck, take some time to familiarize yourself with the artwork and symbolism. Have a magical week!

DailyOM: Healing with Hurt

Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM   chic0411

Thu Aug 4, 2011 7:41 pm (PDT)





DailyOM - Using Your Pain to Help Others
Today's DailyOM brought to you by:

 

 
August 4, 2011
Healing with Hurt
Using Your Pain to Help Others
You can channel your pain into helping others and spreading a tide of curative energy throughout the world.

Pain is a fact of being and one that permeates all of our lives to some degree. Since the hurt we feel may be a part of the experiences that have touched us most deeply, we are often loathe to let it go. It is frequently easier to keep our pain at our sides, where it acts as a shield that shelters us from others and gives us an identityâ€"that of victimâ€"from which we can draw bitter strength. However, pain’s universality can also empower us to use our hurt to help others heal. Since no pain is any greater or more profound than any other, what you feel can give you the ability to help bring about the recovery of individuals whose hurts are both similar to and vastly different from your own. You can channel your pain into transformative and healing love that aids you in helping individuals on a one-to-one basis and spreading a tide of curative energy throughout the world.

The capacity to heal others evolves naturally within those who are ready to disassociate themselves from their identity as victims. In fact, the simple decision to put aside the pain we have carried is what grants us the strength to redeem that pain through service. There are many ways to use the hurt you feel to help others. Your pain gives you a unique insight into the minds of people who have experienced trauma and heartache. You can draw from the wellspring of strength that allowed you to emerge on the other side of a painful experience and pass that strength to individuals still suffering from their wounds. You may be able to council individuals in need by showing them the coping methods that have helped you survive or simply by offering sympathy. A kinship can develop that allows you to relate more closely with those you are trying to aid and comfort.

Helping others can be a restorative experience that makes your own heart grow stronger. In channeling your pain into compassionate service and watching others successfully recover, you may feel a sense of euphoria that leads to increased feelings of self-worth and optimism. Your courageous decision to reach out to others can be the best way to declare to yourself and the world that your pain didn’t defeat you, and in fact it helped you heal.

August Events & A Summer Kiss From Peaceful Paths! Butler NJ

Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM   chic0411

Thu Aug 4, 2011 7:42 pm (PDT)





Your most innocent kiss...
Or your
sweetest caress...
Seduces me.
                                            
 Celine Dion

Hi
Everybody!   Namaste.

   Ahh, how very seductive the
Summer can be!  It seems no other season provokes such fiery
passion and lays it beside such sweet laziness...

   And
there is absolutely nothing quite like a summer kiss, wouldn't you
agree?  Can you recall a sweet summer kiss from your own experience? 
Focus on its innocence.  Perhaps you can still feel the moisture of
the day lifting from your skin, hear the sound of crickets and cicadas
serenading in the background or perhaps the hypnotic sound of ocean waves... Is
that the steam of your breath or the heat of a fading summer sun, adding to
both the passion and the passivity.

   This month at
Peaceful Paths, we'd like to pay homage to the Summer and hope you will
join us! 

Peaceful Paths

FULL MOON
CIRCLE
With Priestess Maeve & Priest
Jack-In-The-Forest
Friday, August 12,
2011      7:00-9:00p.m.      
$15.00

Full Moon in
Aquarius (actual date of the full moon:
8/13/11)

The Full Moon in Aquarius reflects the motivating Sun in
Leo and illuminates the mind with the changes we feel compelled to make. The
sign of Aquarius is associated with change and humanitarian action. It is a time
to dream and to awaken and be a part of the solution. This Air sign is a sign of
lightning and inspiration which makes the light bulb go off in our collective
heads. At this Full Moon there is a potential to reach for something new and of
the future. In our Aquarian revelations, we sense the Big Mind of humanity. The
energy of the polarity expressed in this Full Moon when the Moon, a feminine
energy, is connected to the Sun*s masculine Mars (Leo) energy, is both playful
and mindful. It is a time to celebrate our uniqueness and to encourage others to
do the same. It is a time to be a voice for the voiceless. Join us as we use the
full Moon in this Air sign to create energy which ebbs and flows with evolution
and revolution, and is packed with intentions to engage change. Who knows, maybe
the answer is really blowing in the winds...

During this gathering, we
will call in the quarters, cast the circle, invoke Deity, perform a work of
magick, share during talking stick, celebrate with cakes/ale and raise energy
through song & dance!  Our magick will focus on showing our
humanitarian side, using the energy of the Aquarius Full Moon, ruled by
Uranus.
 
Robes are optional.
Ritual begins promptly at
7:15p.m.
Please bring drums if you'd like to help keep the
beat!

Maeve &
Jack-In-The-Forest are initiated Priestess & Priest who have been involved
in the Pagan and Wiccan tradition for over 15 years.  For the last several
years, they have been leading, conducting & creating public rituals in the
New Paltz area.  Their Full Moon Circles are not only sacred Rites which
honor the God & Goddess, but also forums for learning more about honoring
Deity through ritual.  They regard their Circles as teaching Circles which
provide information & education about Ritual and format and they are now
bringing their Full Moon Circles each month to Peaceful
Paths!

DE-MYSTIFYING
THE MAYAN CALENDAR
With Denise Saracco, Jaguar Shaman
Saturday,
August 13,
2011      3:00-5:30p.m.      
Spiritual Exchange: $30.00

The ancient Maya
created an intricate, intelligent, flowing calendar to mark the wheel of time
for eternity.  Like a Divinely-inspired array of synchronized gears, the
magickal Mayan Calendar tic tocks through time. 
In this class,
we will review how to understand the mathematical basics of the Mayan Calendar,
as well as its deeper mystical counterparts.  You will understand how the
Great Wheel works, and begin to forge a personal relationship to each of the day
signs for a lifetime of learning the Wisdom of the Maya and its
Spirit/Medicine.  Everyone will also learn their unique Mayan zodiac sign
and what it means.
Note: This class
is not solely about traditional interpretations of the calendar.  It is
'geared' to transcend into a simple, highly spiritual practice of walking in
awareness, beauty, wisdom, and balance.  You will become initiated into
what Truth lies for you in the ancient Mayan
Calendar.

August Circle Focus: Sustenance
& Nourishment

In this
season of the first harvest, we are completely surrounded by the many things
that have manifested in our lives during the Summer's growth. We are provided
for and nourished on many levels. To maintain balance and harmony, it is
essential that we return to the Great Cycle of Giving and Receiving.
This
evening's work will bring every participant back into right relationship within
themselves and the Earth so harmony can ensue on all levels. We will first
perform a Ceremony of Gratitude for all the sustenance and nourishment that
keeps us alive everyday - food, water, air, warmth, shelter, and much more.
Afterwards, we will journey into the Great Mother Earth and ask for Her
nourishment on all levels for us individually. We will culminate the evening's
work with a Healing Ceremony for the
Earth. 
 
 **Please bring drums/rattles, eyeshade/bandana,
pillow/blanket, water, notebook/pen to record your
experience!

    JOURNEY INTO EMPOWERMENT with
Katia!
Friday,
August 26,
2011      7:00-9:30p.m.    
 $25.00

CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT OF PEACE, LOVE & ABUNDANCE
AROUND YOU!

The subconscious is a powerful source of stored images and
beliefs. Some of those images are not well suited for the present manifestation
of our desires and must be erased & replaced with new ones that will empower
us and aid in quickening our capacity to manifest. There are many ways that we
can achieve this: prayer, strong belief, meditation, visualization and habit.
But story-telling, especially mythical story-telling will "speak-enchant"
directly at our subconscious, hence clearing out those undesirable beliefs and
images from the confines of our minds. Story-telling has the capacity to heal
our heart and soul back into Love. 

 In this 3-hour workshop,
we'll be traveling into the world of mythos.  Many would call this world
the basic universal intelligence, or the basic patterns of all
civilizations.   Each time Katia teaches this workshop, she discusses
a different myth, story, folktale or fairytale to help put us in contact with
the compelling mythical archetypes that dwell hidden within ourselves.  In
connecting with these powerful images, we will be able to harness the power of
creation, or the basic tools needed to manifest the reality we most wish to
experience.

CONNECT WITH THE
MYTHICAL ENERGIES OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS

Katia is a teacher, astrologer, writer and an intuitive advisor who
uses the tools of Tarot, myth, storytelling, archetypal Astrology and spiritual
alchemy to guide her clients. She has a B.S. in Molecular Biology; an Associate
degree in Science and an A.A. in Humanities. She has been a student of
 Astrology, spiritual alchemy, and Kabbalah over the past 20 years. Her
insatiable desire for knowledge and her quest for inner truth have led her to
believe that magic or miracles stem from deep within one's soul. Through
Silence all can be known!

Goddess For Today:    Doris Fairhope Jubilee (Alabama)

Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM   chic0411

Thu Aug 4, 2011 7:54 pm (PDT)



Goddess For Today:   Doris
Fairhope Jubilee (Alabama)
 
Themes: Abundance; Providence; Water
Symbols: Seawater; Plants; Animals (especially fish)
 
About Doris:  The daughter of Oceanus, this Grecian Sea Goddess is associated
with the sea's gifts and its wealth.  She joins in today's festivities by bringing an abundance
of seafood to nourish the body, as well as spiritual sustenance to fulfill our souls.
 
To Do Today:  The Fairhope Jubilee takes place in Mobile Bay, Alabama, sometime in August
when there's an overcast sky, an easterly wind, and a rising tide.  When these three factors
are in place an odd phenomenon occurs:  bottom-dwelling fish get trapped between the shore
and low-oxygen water.  So people rush out with any containers they can find and gather up
Doris's plenty!  For us, this equates to gathering up the sea's plenty figuratively, perhaps by
having fish for dinner.  Remember to thank Doris as you eat so that you internalize her providence.
 
To make a Doris charm that will draw abundance into any area of your life in need, find a seashell,
a tumbled sea stone, or something similar that comes from the ocean.  Place the token in seawater
for three hours by a waxing moon so that abundance will grow like the moon.  Bless it, saying,
 
"Doris, by this gift from your seas,
draw abundance and wealth to me.
Like a wave upon high tide,
let your blessings here abide."
 
Carry the token regularly.

Preparing for Career Success Spell

Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM   chic0411

Thu Aug 4, 2011 8:02 pm (PDT)



Preparing for Career Success Spell
Incense of the day: Dill
 
Before this work
week starts, use the power of Leo during the New Moon to help revitalize your career. Continue this ritual through the next Full Moon. Take a
symbol of the career you have or want, and place it on your altar along
with a purple candle in a glass jar. Purify the space with sage. Combine success, prosperity, and steady work oil (or similar blends) into your
own custom blend. Anoint the candle. Burn the candle a little each day,
and say:
 
My career comes to fruition,
Prosperity blooms like a rose.
Success is within my reach,
And my confidence soars.
 
You may also anoint yourself and any objects you wish to be chargedâ€" such as your wallet,
company badge, or your new key to the executive washroom. Feel
successful and lion-proud each day until the Full Moon by wearing an
article of royal purple or royal blue. Success is within your reachâ€"make it happen.

Why Do Women Bleed Together?

Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM   chic0411

Thu Aug 4, 2011 8:04 pm (PDT)



Why Do Women Bleed Together?
.
Most women have either heard of or experienced the phenomenon of bleeding in synch
with their fellow sisters. But what causes it? And how does it affect your fertility?
 
There is very little scientific research on this topic so it is difficult to arrive at one definitive
answer. It is probably a combination of factors that has changed and evolved over the centuries.
 
Think back to when we lived tribally thousands of years ago with no artificial lighting. In these
natural surroundings it was highly probable that women ovulated together on the full moon
and bled on the dark moon. Thus they usually gave birth at the Full moon, creating more
individuals with this particular lunar fertility blueprint.
 
This model for the menstrual cycle is traditionally offered as the most common because
it was the norm for thousands of years. I speak of this in the Fertility Freedom ebook,
the theory that this model of cycling offers the most positive chances for physical fertility
based on the rising and falling energy of the moon throughout the month.
 
But of course these days, we live in the world of artificial light. We no longer are born just on
Full moons - but on every phase and degree in the whole cycle. What effect does menstrual
synchrony have on our own personal lunar blueprint? If your natural lunar fertile time is the first
quarter what happens when you start getting in synch with women who ovulate at the third quarter?
Using the theories of lunar fertility - you would have two fertile times a month instead of one. In this
way synchronization to other women may not be of benefit. But what if you are having trouble
conceiving or suffer irregularity? Hanging out with pregnant women or synchronizing to regular
women could have positive effects on your cycle outweighing the benefit of being in tune to your
own individual rhythm.
 
Women also cycled together for the benefit of the tribe. Consider the practice of the Moonhut in
some native cultures. At bleeding, women would gather together away from other members of the
tribe to meditate, pray and receive guidance. Women doing this work together would have made
this time more powerful due to their combined collective energy. When their bleeding was over,
these women would return to the tribe and offer guidance and advice based on their experiences.
In this case it was more powerful for women to cycle together.
 
Of course in modern society we live in a less tribally and more isolated way. Women now often
live in nuclear families and certainly don't seem to have the experience with extended family/tribal
living that they used to. In some ways our survival is less dependant upon the women around us
than the men around us.
 
These are just a few possible thoughts about why we synchronies.

Proverbs 8:22-30

Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM   chic0411

Thu Aug 4, 2011 8:05 pm (PDT)



At the beginning of the world, I was. 
Before there was an ocean, I was.
Before springs burst forth from the land, I was.
Before the mountains settled, before the hills were born, I was.
When there was neither lake nor land, I was.
When the heavens were not yet in their place, I was.
Before the ocean formed the horizon, before the ocean was yet
firm in its bed, before the earth's foundation was stabilized, I was.
There I was, laughing and playing, as the world was formed.
~Proverbs 8:22-30
 
The
Goddess is not a new invention, a contemporary concept that expresses
modern women's need for self-actualization.
No, she is a primeval force
that has been recognized for thousands of years, perhaps longer.
There
is some evidence suggesting that humans recognized the divine in female
long before they invented a god who wore a male body.
 
How, then, did we lose her? She was, in fact, never lost. The cosmic or archetypal feminine remained with us, hidden in texts like that above,
spoken by
the biblical Wisdom and in images such as that of the Blessed Virgin
Mary or the fairy-tale witch.

Whether the Goddess exists beyond human
minds, she is so deeply rooted in us that we will never be without her.
