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, "I stir this brew with
loving care to keep my family well. The gifts of the earth will keep us
strong."

>>>>IT'S WHAT YOU SCATTER
>>>>>
>>>>>I was at the corner grocery store buying some early potatoes... I noticed a small boy, delicate of bone and feature, ragged but clean, hungrily apprising a basket of freshly picked green peas.
>>>>>
>>>>>I paid for my potatoes but was also drawn to the display of fresh green peas. I am a pushover for creamed peas and new potatoes.
>>>>>
>>>>>Pondering the peas, I couldn't help overhearing the conversation between Mr. Miller (the store owner) and the ragged boy next to me.
>>>>>
>>>>>'Hello Barry, how are you today?'
>>>>>
>>>>>'H'lo, Mr. Miller. Fine, thank ya. Jus' admirin' them peas. They sure look good.'
>>>>>
>>>>>'They are good, Barry. How's your Ma?'
>>>>>'Fine. Gittin' stronger alla' time.'
>>>>>'Good. Anything I can help you with?'
>>>>>'No, Sir. Jus' admirin' them peas.'
>>>>>'Would you like to take some home?' asked Mr. Miller.
>>>>>
>>>>>'No, Sir. Got nuthin' to pay for 'em with.'
>>>>>
>>>>>'Well, what have you to trade me for some of those peas?'
>>>>>
>>>>>'All I got's my prize marble here.'
>>>>>
>>>>>'Is that right? Let me see it', said Miller.
>>>>>
>>>>>'Here 'tis. She's a dandy..'
>>>>>
>>>>>'I can see that. Hmm mmm, only thing is this one is blue and I sort of go for red. Do you have a red one like this at home?' the store owner asked.
>>>>>
>>>>>'Not zackley but almost.'
>>>>>
>>>>>'Tell you what. Take this sack of peas home with you and next trip this way let me look at that red marble'. Mr. Miller told the boy.
>>>>>
>>>>>'Sure will. Thanks Mr. Miller.'
>>>>>
>>>>>Mrs. Miller, who had been standing nearby, came over to help me.
>>>>>
>>>>>With a smile she said, 'There are two other boys like him in our community, all three are in very poor circumstances. Jim just loves to bargain with them for peas, apples, tomatoes, or whatever.
>>>>>
>>>>>When they come back with their red marbles, and they always do, he decides he doesn't like red after all and he sends them home with a bag of produce for a green marble or an orange one, when they come on their next trip to the store.'
>>>>>
>>>>>I left the store smiling to myself, impressed with this man. A short time later I moved to Colorado, but I never forgot the story of this man, the boys, and their bartering for marbles.
>>>>>
>>>>>Several years went by, each more rapid than the previous one. Just recently I had occasion to visit some old friends in that Idahocommunity and while I was there learned that Mr. Miller had died. They were having his visitation that evening and knowing my friends wanted to go, I agreed to accompany them. Upon arrival at the mortuary we fell into line to meet the relatives of the deceased and to offer whatever words of comfort we could.
>>>>>
>>>>>Ahead of us in line were three young men. One was in an army uniform and the other two wore nice haircuts, dark suits and white shirts...all very professional looking. They approached Mrs. Miller, standing composed and smiling by her husband's casket.
>>>>>
>>>>>Each of the young men hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke briefly with her and moved on to the casket. Her misty light blue eyes followed them as, one by one; each young man stopped briefly and placed his own warm hand over the cold pale hand in the casket. Each left the mortuary awkwardly, wiping his eyes..
>>>>>
>>>>>Our turn came to meet Mrs. Miller. I told her who I was and reminded her of the story from those many years ago and what she had told me about her husband's bartering for marbles. With her eyes glistening, she took my hand and led me to the casket.
>>>>>
>>>>>'Those three young men who just left were the boys I told you about.
>>>>>
>>>>>They just told me how they appreciated the things Jim 'traded' them. Now, at last, when Jim could not change his mind about color or size....they came to pay their debt.'
>>>>>
>>>>>'We've never had a great deal of the wealth of this world,' she confided, 'but right now, Jim would consider himself the richest man in Idaho ..'
>>>>>
>>>>>With loving gentleness she lifted the lifeless fingers of her deceased husband. Resting underneath were three exquisitely shined red marbles.
>>>>>
>>>>>The Moral:
>>>>>We will not be remembered by our words, but by our kind deeds. Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath.
>>>>>Today I wish you a day of ordinary miracles ~ A fresh pot of tea you didn't make yourself...
>>>>>
>>>>>An unexpected phone call from an old friend.... Green stoplights on your way to work....
>>>>>
>>>>>The fastest line at the grocery store....
>>>>>
>>>>>A good sing-along song on the radio...
>>>>>
>>>>>Your keys found right where you left them.
>>>>>
>>>>>Send this to the people you'll never forget. I just did...
>>>>>
>>>>>If you don't send it to anyone, it means you are in way too much of a hurry to even notice the ordinary miracles when they occur.
>>>>>
>>>>>IT'S NOT WHAT YOU GATHER, BUT WHAT YOU SCATTER THAT TELLS WHAT KIND OF LIFE YOU HAVE LIVED! compliments of maggie @ aradia risingshallowedtext

Passion is the force of emotion that gives color and depth and vitality to life. Joy, sorrow, ecstacy, anger, fear, pain, love- the Goddess manifests in all human emotions. We cannot feel any of them in their full intensity unless we are willing to face them all.---Starhawk, "The Spiral Staircase"

Thor's Day Protect and Prosper

Spell A Day
ShareThis
Thor's Day, Protect and Prosper
Thursday
Color of the day: Crimson
Incense of the day: Clove
Today we have the planetary association of Jupiter and a waxing Moon phase. This is most auspicious for prosperity and protective spells. Also, Thursday is Thor's day. This day of the week was literally named after him. This Norse god was called the god of the people. He is the everyman's god. He represented the farmer as well as the warrior. Thor is associated with rain and crops, and his hammer is both a protective and a fertility symbol. You may call on Thor for protection and prosperity magic. Light a green candle and repeat the following charm.
By the light of a waxing
Moon,
May the god Thor grant me
a boon
Send protection and
prosperity to me,
Please grant my request with
all possible speed.
By Thursday's magic this
spell is spun,
For the good of all, bringing
harm to none.

Article excerpt on Alchemy
Posted by: "Gary Reese" hyperreal69@yahoo.com hyperreal69
Thu Nov 3, 2011 2:14 pm (PDT)
This article is a summary of some of my own, as well as other alchemists' experiences, that occurred during our first twelve months of practicing spagyrics or plant alchemy. Hopefully they will be useful to aspiring alchemists, and even students of other occult arts and sciences in understanding the path that they have chosen and its potential.
Lessons Learned
Many have found the study of alchemy particularly rewarding, first because of the kind of returns one gets for their investment of time, and second because of the certainty of the results.
Jean Dubuis, the founder of the French qabalistic and alchemical organization The Philosophers of Nature, frequently stated during seminars that "Alchemy is the only path that does not lie." By this he meant that in a variety of esoteric, and so-called esoteric practices, it is easy to excuse ones failures or lack of results. We hear these excuses all the time: the wrong incense was used, the moon cycles were off, the "mood" wasn't right, the wrong associations, planets, gods, or Elements were invoked. The list is endless.
However, in alchemy—even plant alchemy, or spagyrics as it is properly called—everything is a learning experience that points towards how we are to approach not only our alchemical operations but also life itself. As Frater Albertus said, "All manifestation is accomplished by the utilization of will, which is another term for being alive."
If we have manifestation we have demonstrated that we are truly "alive" on a level that not only affects and includes the material, but also precedes and supercedes it. It is the Ouroboros, the serpent eating its tail; the Alpha and the Omega. Alchemy my friend, does not lie, and here are some of its lessons.
1. Lesson One:
2. Lesson Two: Nature does not care if I am stupid.
Nature will help me if I am alert to what is happening. I am the handmaid of Nature and assist it in its work just at is assists me in my undertakings—but only if I am aware. Nature responds to one's actions as well as intentions. Unlike in ritual magic where an error can be made and the inner essence override the misstep in the ritual, an error can result in ruining all of the work to date. Working directly with material elements means being responsible to material laws as well as psychic ones.
3. Lesson Three: Energy goes where your true attention is, not where you think it is.
During the distillation of some alcohol off of red wine for use in the making of a spagyric tincture, a fellow alchemist decided to go sit outside and let the process run. To pass the time he decided to "send some energy" to a small plant near where he was sitting. First some Earth, with no response; then Water, with only a slight response; then Air, with better results; and finally Fire, with great results (as well as hearing his distillation explode, sending flaming alcohol all over his ceiling). A similar incident occurred to another practitioner of the Art, with him finding a flaming blue liquid all over the ceiling fan in his kitchen. If you are working on an alchemical experiment, stay focused on it until it is complete, or that portion of the process is finished.
Thoughts are things and affect my physical and psychic environment. As such they are not limited only to 'me' but also impact on those around me.
4. Lesson Four: Learn the theory before practice.
Alchemy works primarily on the Earth element, and as such, promises nothing quickly. In the host of false promises offered up by a variety of authors and systems, and even self-styled abusers of the word "alchemy," the Royal Art stands alone in saying that Illumination can be had—but at a price. The biggest price is time, as skills must be learned, preparations made, notes taken and reviewed, and experiments catalogued. Preparation is the key to success in anything, be it material or psychic. A key element of this was memorizing the Emerald Tablet and accepting it as an outline of the entire alchemical process regardless of other methods taken. It is a poor craftsman who blames his tools.
5. Lesson Five: Make Haste Slowly.
Constantly in the alchemical literature there are references to the work being done slowly, and then, just before it is completed, to increase the heat on a given product, but to do so carefully and diligently, so as not to burn the matter and thereby destroy all of one's efforts just as success is in sight. It is often said that in any project, eighty percent of the work takes place during the final stages, and in alchemy this is clearly true. Slow, slowly, slower, is the best way to go, with daily attention to the work.
6. Lesson Six: We must be prepared before we begin the Work.
Preparation is more than just a physical process of making sure the glass is clean, and the proper materials and equipment are available and in working order, it is also an internal process. To be successful in alchemy—or any occult practice aimed at material or psychic manifestation—students have to be ready to accept and participate in the process. This means making one's self a perfect vessel by internalizing the steps of process. First intellectually through memorization, and through this, letting them operate internally on our subconscious to organize and direct its energies. Once we have internalized the work in theory, we can begin to use it in external practice. Internalization of the process results in externalization of the process through a successful technique. The devil is in the details. "Read, Read, Read, Pray, Work and Read Again."
7. Lesson Seven: It is Finished!
The Hermetic axiom from the Emerald Tablet states, "As Above, So Below; as Below, So Above." Internalization is also Paracelsus's statement that we only transmute without what we have first transmuted within. We must pay attention to the still small voice within—the voice of Hermes, of our Inner Master—as it will respond to our work and teach us in our dreams and meditations. The information will be practical as well as theoretical or symbolic. It is not uncommon to suddenly sense a process is complete when working with the production of plant stones. That is, there is an inner knowing that it is time to move on to the next step. Sometimes this even takes place verbally. Once during the process I heard, "I am done" and knew that this was my attunement to a plant stone I was working on letting me know the process was complete, even though it was the middle of the afternoon and I as preoccupied with something else all together. Even here
however, this inner knowing was checked against reality. Did the plant stone work? Did it do what a plant stone is supposed to do? The proof is in the results, not the wishes, desires, or beliefs, but in the cold hard evidence of an operation that was successful.
8. (Lesson Eight: You're not an alchemist until you have had at least one explosion.)
In the words of Hermes, "That which I have to say about the Operation of the Sun is completed."
Mark Stavish
Mark Stavish (Pennsylvania) has been a long-time student of esotericism and is a frequent lecturer on ancient occult knowledge. Founder of the Institute for Hermetic Studies, he is the author of numerous articles on Western esotericism. In 2001 he...
Used with permission from www.Llewellyn.com I am responsible for my own Becoming.
Alchemy teaches that I and I alone am responsible for myself, my life, my consciousness, and my growth in wisdom, or "Becoming" as it is called. While others can try to help me along the way, I have to be receptive to their assistance and listen to the voice of experience. At the end of time, when I stand before the Eternal, my answer to the question, "Who are you?" must be in the words of Victor Hugo, "I am freedom." Freely I have entered the Path, freely have I undertaken its challenges, and freely do I share with others what I have learned.

DailyOM - Learning to Slow Down
Today's DailyOM brought to you by:
November 3, 2011
The Time of Your Life
Learning to Slow Down
When we rush through our days and lives, we fail to notice the simple beauty of living.
Throughout our lives, we are taught to value speed and getting things done quickly. We learn that doing is more valuable than merely being, and that making the most of life is a matter of forging ahead at a hurried pace. Yet as we lurch forward in search of some elusive sense of fulfillment, we find ourselves feeling increasingly harried and disconnected. More importantly, we fail to notice the simple beauty of living. When we learn to slow down, we rediscover the significance of seemingly inconsequential aspects of life. Mealtimes become meditative celebrations of nourishment. A job well-done becomes a source of profound pleasure, no matter what the nature of our labors. In essence, we give ourselves the gift of time葉ime to indulge our curiosity, to enjoy the moment, to appreciate worldly wonders, to sit and think, to connect with others, and to explore our inner landscapes more fully.
A life savored slowly need not be passive, inefficient, or slothful. Conducting ourselves at a slower pace enables us to be selective in how we spend our time and to fully appreciate each passing moment. Slowness can even be a boon in situations that seem to demand haste. When we pace ourselves for even a few moments as we address urgent matters, we can center ourselves before moving ahead with our plans. Embracing simplicity allows us to gradually purge from our lives those commitments and activities that do not benefit us in some way. The extra time we consequently gain can seem like vast, empty stretches of wasted potential. But as we learn to slow down, we soon realize that eliminating unnecessary rapidity from our experiences allows us to fill that time in a constructive, fulfilling, and agreeable way. We can relish our morning rituals, linger over quality time with loved ones, immerse ourselves wholeheartedly in our work, and take advantage of
opportunities to nurture !
ourselves every single day.
You may find it challenging to avoid giving in to the temptation to rush, particularly if you have acclimated to a world of split-second communication, cell phones, email and overflowing agendas. Yet the sense of continuous accomplishment you lose when you slow down will quickly be replaced by feelings of magnificent contentment. Your relaxed tempo will open your mind and heart to deeper levels of awareness that help you discover the true gloriousness of being alive.

Today's Goddess: Hybla
Saint Francis Day (Italy)
Themes: Earth; Ecology; Nature; Animals
Symbols: All Natural Objects
About Hybla: This Sicilian Goddess presides over earth and nature, tending to all its needs. She also gave birth to humanity
and inspires greater earth awareness within us.
To Do Today: Saint Francis of Assisi's life is celebrated today because of his gentle relationship with nature, which he
considered a
family member (often calling animals "brothers and sisters"). This is
why he became the patron of many environmentalists. To remember him and honor Hybla's spirit, which he so powerfully displayed, say a prayer
for the earth
today. Invoke Hybla's nurturing energy with words like these:
"Earth Mother, look upon your child. Look upon the plants--restore the earth's greenery.
Look upon theanimals and protect them from more harm.
Look upon the waters and purify each drop.
Look upon the winds, and cleanse the air.
Take the world gently in your caring arms, and love it back
into wholeness once more.
Amen."
Tuck a flower petal or
leaf in your pocket or shoe today to keep Hybla's earth awareness close
by. And, if you have pets, today is the perfect time to bless them.
Give them special foods, find nonchemical pest repellents, and pamper
them with extra love. Remember life is a network: showing kindness to
one strand extends the energy outward to the web.
