A person stops practicing because he is controlled by his own narrow-mindedness, shallow attachment, arrogance, ill feelings toward other believers oe selfish desire. No matter how strong your faith may appear to be now, if you discard it at some point in your life, your faith cannot be said to have been true.---Diasaku Ikeda

4.: More on Bast

Posted by: "Gary Reese" hyperreal69@yahoo.com hyperreal69

Wed Nov 2, 2011 1:03 pm (PDT)

Bastet
"Devouring Lady" (from bas, to devour, with feminine ending)
Bast is first and foremost a protectress; specifically of the royal house and the Two Lands. Later she got the life-preserving goddess of joy and protector of women. However, Bast's original role did not include the "cat as sex symbol" archetype. Worshiped in the Delta city of Bubastis and usually depicted as a cat or in human form with the head of a cat, Bast was seen as a protector of cats and those who cared for them.
Other Names and Titles

Bastet, Bast, Bastis, "the Tearer"
Bubastis Greek version,
Pacht, Pasht Pasch
Ubast, Ubasti
Ba en Aset : the soul of Aset (Isis)
Other titles Bast was given with time were "Lady of the East", "the Light
Bearer", "Lady of Truth" and "Goddess of the Birth Chamber".

Relations in the Egyptian Pantheon

Although she can be traced back as far as 3000 B.C., it was not until later times that Bast was acknowledged as sister to Horus and the daughter of Isis and Osiris. She does not appear in the original Osirian myth.
>Several theories have arisen regarding the origin of Bast. We have already noted how she was considered by some authorities to have been the daughter of Ra, but another school of thought insists that her oldest form was as a lioness-headed Goddess named Tefnut, Horus being another (or later?) version of Tefnut's twin, Shu the Sky God. It is on account of this portrayal in lioness form that she no doubt became confused with Sekhmet, who is desingated as the warrior aspect of Hathor. Again, there are those who consider Sekhmet and Bast to be one and the same Deity with Bast representing the more domesticated aspect of the cat family, while others do not see Bast as an entity in her own right at all, but as the personalized anima (female aspect) of Horus.
>Bast was said to be the daughter of Ra himself and legend has it that she defended her aging parent against his only real enemy, the serpent Apep, a representation, no doubt, of the eternal force of evil or darkness.
>The Cat in Egypt
>
>
>
>
>
> The domestic cat became highly regarded by Egyptian civilization as an animal of awe and wonder. Originating between five and six thousand years ago, domesticated cats came to be praised for their excellent mouse hunting abilities. The Egyptians found cats fascinating, even regarding them as godlike. Because cats were deeply respected, they were often mummified and even buried in great tombs with their owners. Finally, the Egyptian battle of Pelusium illustrates, better than any other example, the importance Egyptians placed on cats.
>>Indeed, so highly regarded were cats in Egyptian society that it was considered a high crime to kill a cat, punishable by death. Families owning cats took care that they received attention and respect.
>>Deep respect was given to cats even after they died. Whenever a household cat died, the entire family would go through a period of grief, shaving their eyebrows to mark their sadness. Deceased cats were very often mummified and entombed with fine jewelry and treasures; a custom usually reserved for only the most powerful and wealthy. Mummified rats and mice have even been found in cats' tombs, signaling the Egyptian belief in a cat afterlife.
>>Back to TOP
>
>Her Role
>
>"The Tearer"is first and foremost a protectress; specifically of the royal house and the Two Lands.
>>According to Herodotus, Bast was a happy and benign Deity who brought good fortune, music, dance and joy to all. Statues of cats are commonly passed off as facsimiles of Bast, but this is incorrect. The cat was indeed her sacred animal and the people of the time tended to see the Goddess in every cat that walked past, but her original depiction was as a royal lady or priestess with a cat's head. In addition to the symbols already discussed, her other accoutrements were the Aegis, a kind of small protective apron, and a basket often containing kittens. Bast expressed the qualities of the lion or cat family, beauty of movement, agility, strength, caution, fidelity to the pride, etc., all of which could equally be interpreted at the spiritual level.
>>During the New Kingdom (1539-1075 BC), she became equated with Sekhmet, the lioness deity of war.
>>Into the Greek period, She would be equated with the virgin huntress Artemis and considered the protectress of children and pregnant mothers, musicians and a goddess of all sorts of excess, especially sexual excess.

>Short Information on Bastet
>
>Bast ( Bastet, Bastis, Bubastis, Pacht, Ubast) is a name well-known in the West.
>She was responsible for Joy, Music, and Dancing, also Health and Healing.
>She also protected humans against contagious diseases and evil spirits.
>Her cult can be traced back to about 3200 BC,
>and she became a national deity when Bubastis became the capital of Egypt in about 950 BC.
>Her origin is said to be in this city Bubastis,
>although her association with the lion-goddess Sekhmet makes it likely that her cult was also celebrated at Memphis.
>Temple honoring Bast were found at Bubastis, Memphis-Sakkara and Dendera.
>Cats, as manifestations of Deity, were sacred; they protected the grain from mice and rats.
>Killing a cat was punished with death.
>Bast is the daughter and/or wife of Ra, the God of the Sun.

5.: Woden's Wild Horses Spell

Posted by: "Gary Reese" hyperreal69@yahoo.com hyperreal69

Wodenâ€™s Wild Horses
Wednesday

Color of the day: Yellow
Incense of the day: Lavender

This is the Festival of Woden. In 998 AD it became a Christian festival, All Soulsâ€™ Day, drawing inspiration from the original heathen one. Asatruar celebrated Woden as god of the dead. They paraded the Hodening â€œwild horse,â€ also known as the winter mare of Cailleach. They dressed in costumes for sacred theater, presenting plays that revealed the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Women baked â€œsoul cakesâ€ for living and dead alike, another custom that survived into later versions of this holiday. Chances are, you just honored the dead on Samhain, so letâ€™s do something different for Wodenâ€™s festival. Honor the wild horses. They symbolize liberty and independence; it uplifts even the most downtrodden spirit to see wild horses running free over open ground. Visit their sanctuaries, read about them, or make a donation to help ensure that there will always be wild horses in the world.

6.: Grounding Cord Exercise

Posted by: "Gary Reese" hyperreal69@yahoo.com hyperreal69

Wed Nov 2, 2011 1:19 pm (PDT)

This is an excerpt from this article with permissions. For the full article and more info go to: http://www.llewellyn.com/journal/article/1897Â
The Grounding Cord Exercise and 8 Other Ways to Ground and Center
This article was written by Katalin Koda
posted under Chakras & Energy Work
As we develop along the path as healers and magical practitioners, we find that certain tools enhance our practice immeasurably. One of the most important aspects of good healing and magical work is to ground and center. As a Reiki Master, I have found that these are two crucial elements to the practice of Reiki and healing as well as in magical arts such as creating sacred space or casting spells.

To ground is to bring our awareness into our bodies, to draw down into ourselves breathing right here, right now. When we do this we find our center and become better aligned with the continuous and ever-changing flow of life. To ground and center ourselves is like repositioning ourselves at the center of a wheel or mandala. We are reconnecting with being in balance between our feminine and masculine, at the center of the four directions, more clearly aware of our presence on Earth in a particular space. This gives us a clear and potent connection to Earth, which allows our healing work, our magical work, and even our basic day-to-day activities to become lighter and more energetic.

Grounding and centering not only provide a kind of container to hold the energy that moves through us, but they also gives us clear boundaries. In this way it is like we are creating a sacred vessel to hold the energy that is raised up and utilized in our work. In the practice of Reiki, I have found grounding so essential that I made it one of my Reiki Warrior tools as seen in my book The Sacred Path of Reiki: Healing as a Spiritual Discipline. I found that students, when receiving the sky-like attunements in Reiki Warrior classes, occasionally became overwhelmed by the rush of energy. Sometimes they felt light-headed or spacey and could not follow through on all the Reiki techniques. That is when I added certain techniques to aid students in their Reiki processes.

One of the techniques is called the Grounding Cord exercise, which is very useful when practicing Reiki. I teach each student this method and have them do it before a Reiki session as well as after, in conjunction with the Auric Cleanse. This way the student connects directly into the Earth, which aids the practice of healing. Studies have shown that the frequency measured around healersâ€™ hands during times of healing matches the very same frequency at the center of the Earth. This is a clear indication that we are able to directly contact and use the powerful Earth energy as an aid to our healing and magical work. In Hawaii, the sacred dance of hula also mirrors that special Earth energy, but more specifically the volcanic flow. The dancing of Pele, the sacred Goddess of Fire on the Big Island, uses rhythmic rising and falling, swaying, and flowing to emulate the same rhythms of the flow of lava from Halemaâ€™umaâ€™u Crater. The ancient people have
known about this for millennia, as well as that the direct connection between our bodies and the Earth is crucial for healing and magical work.

When we set up a Sacred Space, we can create as we usually do, giving offering to the four directions and calling in the elements associated with each direction. We then honor the Earth and the Sky, and find our center in that space for a few moments by concentrating on the breath. To ground we can visualize our Grounding Cord. To do this, sit quietly in a chair or meditative position. Focus on the breath for several moments. With each exhalation imagine your consciousness sinking down into the root chakra, located just below the cervix in women and at the perineum in men. Focus for a few minutes on dropping the awareness with each exhalation into the root chakra, perhaps visualizing a red, spinning orb or disk. Feel the warmth and centering of this point in the body. Then, imagine a cord of light, perhaps the same brilliant red color, growing down toward the center of the Earth. It should be a few inches in diameter. Imagine it growing through the floor
below you, into the soil of the Earth. Notice the feeling of being connected directly, energetically with the soil, then the rocks, and the water below the rocks. Allow the grounding cord to grow further down through the crystals and minerals of the Earth and finally into the molten core, the brilliant warm energy of planet Earth. Inhale that energy up into the body and exhale back into the Earth center. Allow yourself to feel grounded, connected, and centered. Perhaps the grounding cord stays brilliant red or moves into another color (any color works). If you have trouble visualizing, maybe you can sense or feel that quality of groundedness. Some may associate sound or smell with this exercise. The main purpose is simply to reconnect with your body being right here, right now, grounded on the Earth.

When you have mastered this simple but effective exercise, you can use it every day. Try changing the color of the grounding cord to bring in different qualities or feelings. When you are traveling in a car imagine the grounding cord running along with you, keeping you continuously connected to the Earth. When you are lying down visualize the cord either bending down from your root chakra or simply going straight down, whichever seems simpler.
..............Break
Similarly, in magical work, when we ground and center we are able to access a much stronger potential of magical energy. For example, when we are doing a Full Moon Ceremony, we can use the Grounding Cord exercise after creating a sacred space. This will bring us more powerfully into the center of our space and provide a very strong energy to use when we then call down the moon, do an abundance spell, or create a magical talisman. The use of visualization is common to most magical practitioners and the Grounding Cord exercise is a very earthy and real way to enhance our creative work.

There are many other ways to ground and center as well, and I encourage you to experiment. Walking barefoot on the grass, in the soil and Earth, is an excellent way to feel our selves in our bodies. Too often our feet are overly soft and sensitive, having spent years in heavy shoes or overly arched in heels. When I lived in India I was often impressed by the feet of the locals, which literally gripped the Earth so naturally, giving them an incredible sense of balance and the ability to walk across any kind of landscape.

Other great ways to ground include:
* Using crystals like obsidian, hematite, or onyx during healing or magical work; these heavier stones will give you a direct connection to the more solid aspects of the Earth
* Lighting incense or herbs to evoke our connection with smell
* Playing an instrument that helps to focus the mind; drumming or playing any kind of rhythmic instrument provides you a chance to connect with the Earth
* Eating heavier foods, such as meat, bread, or potatoes; if this turns you off, try roots like carrots or beets that will nourish the body and give you an extra boost of minerals
* Dancing, walking, hiking, and moving the body will reconnect you with your heartbeat
* Magical work (including chanting, singing, creating a Sacred Space, and casting spells) helps to refocus your energy in alignment with the natural world; practicing these arts require you to be more aware of the rhythms of nature, such as the cycles of the moon, the seasons, and daily shifts
* More Gratitude, Less Attitude; remembering to be thankful for all the abundance we encounter each day helps us to be more present, grounded, and focused

Although this list may seem obvious, we live in a society where watching the day slowly turn to night, witnessing the dawn, drumming to the stars, dancing our feelings of anger or joy, or feeling the soil under our feet are not necessarily daily activities. Too often I have worked on clients whose feet are overly arched in semi-permanent heels and their minds are filled with the restless activity of mental chatter. By taking time out each day to reconnect with the Earth, to ground and center, we are giving ourselves true nourishment. This is essential in our healing and magical work, as well as connecting with those in our everyday life.

Next time you are feeling overwhelmed with emotion, tension, or stress, take off your shoes and let your feet breathe. Open up your lungs with deep breaths and use the Grounding Cord exercise to reconnect with the center of our Mother Earth. Remember, this is a very real and wonderful connection, one that should be honored each day. We so often forget that sense of gratitude as we rush off to fulfill our tasks and by grounding and centering we can reclaim that in a very simple, effective, and present way, one that does not require any special skill or years of practice. It is vital to remember that we are in a physical form, one that will all too soon dissolve. Let us enjoy it while it lasts!

These are so awesome I had to share with everyone. Some might even say it is almost paranormal...heeheehee

Â
Â A rare Wisconsin/Michigan treat.
I hope you allÂ enjoy this as much as I did! With all the madness in thisÂ world there is still magic in nature.
Check it out!

They can't have my apple.
Â
Â
Â
Â
OK, I'mÂ curious.
Â
Â
Oh, you'reÂ not like the thing I just sniffed. What are you?
The dog looksÂ a little nervous, check out the hair on his back,
sorta the attack mode!

Mom's goingÂ to be mad, but I would like to stay.
Now the dog has calmedÂ down.
Â
Â

Â
Oh, yes! IÂ know mother-love in any form. Very nice.
Â

Â
Â Beautiful!
Snow Moose
You probably won't see this again in your life time!
â€œBe sure to show this to your children or grandchildren.â€

Look behind the moose (?) on the left

I'm glad you came by.
You neverÂ would have believed me if you hadn't seen it forÂ yourself.

It really doesn't matter what color the outside isâ€¦
whiteÂ chocolate or dark brown chocolate.
Â
These animals were photographed just North of the Wisconsin border
on a highway near Marenisco , MI .

Once in a while there is an opportunity
to take in a piece of nature that you may never see.
Â

Absolutely stunning!
Â
The driver is really wishing his camera was handy.

The odds ofÂ seeing an albino moose are astronomicalÂ and to see this
in the upper peninsula of Michigan, near Wisconsin,
is even greater than astronomical.
Â
ToÂ see two of them together is nearly impossible.
Â
We wanted to share these photos with as many people as possible
because you will probably never have a chance to see this rare sight again.
This is a really special treat, so enjoy the shots of a lifetime!

11.: Goddess Ritual, Gimbutas, 4th Wave of Feminism/Embodied Spirituality

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

Wed Nov 2, 2011 4:23 pm (PDT)

Greetings Goddess Scholars, Friends and Family,

_*WEDNESDAY on Voices of the Sacred Feminine ...*_
At the top of the hour, join us as Mary Mackey discusses *Recreating the
Rituals of the Goddess*....inspired by the research and writings of
*Marija Gimbutas*, Mackey wrote three novels that make the
Goddess-worshiping cultures of Old Europe come to life. In the absence
of written records, Mackey imagined the
songs<http://www.blogtalkradio.com/voicesofthesacredfeminine/2011/11/03/recreating-goddess-ritual-embodied-spirituality4th-wave#>,
prayers and rituals of Goddess worship - as all of us must trust
ourselves to do as we rebirth the Great She in our time. Mary made
these recreations as accurate as possible using ritual objects found at
sacred sites and drawing on the best
scholarship<http://www.blogtalkradio.com/voicesofthesacredfeminine/2011/11/03/recreating-goddess-ritual-embodied-spirituality4th-wave#>
and theories available.

In part two of the show, elder priestess, Foundress of the Goddess
Temple in Oregon, VajraMa discusses the *Fourth Wave of Feminism -
*Embodied Spirituality giving rise to "More than a Grassroots
Revolution: A Womb-Roots
Evolution<http://www.blogtalkradio.com/voicesofthesacredfeminine/2011/11/03/recreating-goddess-ritual-embodied-spirituality4th-wave#>"
Vajra says the fourth wave of feminism is a call for a fusion of
political and spiritual values, but believes this is just too safe and
tries not to rock the boat. Vajra Ma maintains that the spiritual story
or religious myth of a culture determines its politics, law, social
fabric and institutions and that spirituality trumps politics and most
of all: that humanity's original spirituality is based in the female
body. Vajra Ma believes the Fourth Wave of Feminism is fully embodied
spirituality giving rise to a newly restored societal fabric and that is
our only hope.

17.: Fw: DailyOM: Finding Freedom in No

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

Wed Nov 2, 2011 8:39 pm (PDT)

DailyOM - Yes People
Today's DailyOM brought to you by:

Â

Â
November 2, 2011
Finding Freedom in No
Yes People
Saying No to somebody when we are used to saying Yes can be challenging as we fear we will be rejected.

Many of us, from childhood on, are taught that saying yes is right and saying no is wrong. We learn that acceding to demands allows us to avoid conflict and criticism, please people, earn praise, and prove that we care for the important people in our lives. Yet the right to say no is indelibly intertwined with the ability to make choices. When we sense we are limited in our options, compelled to say yes even when doing so is not in our interests, we are effectively robbed of our ability to choose. Growing out of this tendency to say yes even when we desperately want to say no can be challenging because we suspect that others will reject us for our assertiveness. But the reward we receive upon facing this challenge is true freedom of choice.

When others ask you to take on work or do favors, consider their requests carefully. If you feel pressed to say yes, consider whether you are acquiescing out of a desire for approval or to stave off disapproval. Remind yourself often that the ability to say no is an important aspect of well-being, as it is an indication that you understand the true value of your energy, talents, and time. As you learn to articulate your personal power by saying no, you may feel compelled to explore the myriad consequences of the word by responding negatively to many or most of the requests put to you. The word â€œnoâ€ may even become your default response for some time. When you see that life moves forward without interruption, however, you will grow more comfortable saying no and will resume making decisions from a point of balance.

There is nothing inherently wrong with acceding to the requests others make of you, provided these requests do not infringe upon your health or your happiness. Keep in mind that it is only when you feel you have the legitimate right to say no that you can say yes with utmost certainty, sincerity, and enthusiasm. While saying yes almost always has a cost, you can feel good about offering your agreement when your reasons for doing so are rooted in your individual values and your appreciation for the appeal before you.

What's happening Today:

St Martin de Porres Day -This Catholic saint was the son of a Spanish knight and a Panamanian woman of Indian or Negro descent. He was trained as a barber but became a Dominican monk at the age of 15. He was known for his tending of the poor and sick, especially slaves, and abandoned dogs and cats. He is the patron saint of racial harmony, as well as the patron saint of Italian hairdressers and barbers.

A good day to get your hair cut (by an Italian!) or do something that promotes racial harmony. Blackburn, Bonnie & Leofranc Holford-Strevens, The Oxford Companion to the Year, Oxford University Press 1999
.
St Hubert's Day - Patron of dogs and the chase. He is also invoked against rabies. Hunting season opens on his day. Belgians bring specially prepared breads to a special Mass held in his honor. The blessed bread is taken home, where a sacred sign is made over it, and it is then eaten. Pieces are fed to dogs, horses and other animals to protect them from rabies. St. Hubert seems to have inherited some customs and qualities associated with Odin and other male divinities who led the hunt and oversaw the activities of the dead.

19.: Today's Goddess: Three Kadlu Sisters

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

Wed Nov 2, 2011 9:10 pm (PDT)

Today's Goddess: Three Kadlu Sisters
Inuit Autumn Festival (Alaska)

Themes: Summer; Winter; Weather; Banishing
Symbols: Lightning; Thunder

About theThree Kadlu Sisters: Among the Inuit and several other northern tribes, these divine sisters rule the weather, so watch today's ritual closely to see what winter will be like! Children's stories claim that when the Goddesses play together they make thunder and lightning.

To Do Today: Around
this time of year, people in Alaska have a playful tug-of-war between
summer and winter. Those born in winter take winter's side - those born
in summer stand opposite. If the summer side wins, winter will be mild
and goodness will prevail. This activity is for children, and it
reinforces the idea of seasonal cycles. Place a ribbon in the middle of
the tug rope with the name of these sisters painted upon it. When the
game is over, see which side the goddess landed upon to know what the
weather will be like!

If it rains today, it's a sign of the Goddesses playing together, so get outside and join them
(even if cold weather keeps this brief)! Thunder on your right tells of
better days ahead. Thunder on your left warns that caution is prudent.
Lightning stretching across the sky symbolizes your ability to likewise
stretch and grow. Lightning in front of you represents your ability to
go forward boldly with your plans, knowing these Goddesses light your
way.

20a.: Harvest Is In Ritual

Harvest Is In Ritual

The harvest is in, and
the cold winds of November blow sleet and rain against the windowpanes. A warm home is security against the winter weather to come. Now is the
time to set a soup to simmer on the stove. As you gather the
ingredients, think about the health and welfare of your loved ones. When the stock is ready, stir deosil (clockwise) and add vegetables, one at a time. Enchant the soup as you stir by saying, â€œI stir this brew with
loving care to keep my family well. The gifts of the earth will keep us
strong.â€

22a.: Scandinavian Lay of Sigrdifa

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

Wed Nov 2, 2011 9:13 pm (PDT)

Warrior, here is some ale, mixed
with strong magic and stronger songs,
with honor and spells, strength and charms.
If you want victory, carve the runes
of victory on your swordhilt.
If you want healing, learn the runes
of healing. Learn sea-runes if you want
to go to sea, speech-runes to be eloquent.
But most important: learn mind-runes,
so that, among all people, you will be wisest.
~Scandinavian Lay of Sigrdifa

Oracular traditions like the Scandinavian runes are symbolic languages developed over the ages. They themselves
have no power. Tarot cards have no power, coffee grounds have no power, astrological charts have no power. But there is
power in the intuitive mind, which uses these symbolic systems to make sense of the chaos of experience.

Our minds can find other ways to tap into intuitive perceptions. Everyone has intuition. It is simply the ability to see
patterns that have not yet made themselves visible. It is like looking at a city from the air. Long arterial streets cut
across the grid of square blocks, raying out to form distinctive designs. On the ground, we may travel one of these
streets, unaware of how it forms the pattern of the city, but from the air nothing could be more obvious. Intuition is
like that. Runes and cards can help focus that, but the intuition itself is one of the mind's great powers.
