Dandelion

Dandelion:
http://health.yahoo.net/ articles/ nutrition/ photos/8- foods-lower- blood-pressure# 0
For more than a century, dandelion has been used as a cure-all for countless conditions and ailments in cultures around the world, particularly in its native Asia and Europe. The entire plant is edible, from leaves to roots. And in addition to lowering blood pressure, it's good for the liver, eyes, and skin.
How it works: A natural diuretic, dandelion helps reduce blood pressure by releasing excess sodium without the loss of potassium (as occurs with some over-the-counter diuretics). This is doubly important because excess sodium raises blood pressure by constricting blood vessels, while potassium helps regulate it. Dandelion is also loaded with magnesium, which dissolves blood clots and stimulates the production of nitric oxide, helping to relax and dilate blood vessels for better blood flow.
How much: Eat fresh dandelion greens in a salad, sauté dandelion roots in a stir-fry, or drink dried dandelion in a tea. Incorporate dandelion into your diet as often as you can; it's really good for you, and in any form you find it (except on your lawn), chances are that it's organic -- grown without harmful pesticides or herbicides.
(Personal note) – I feel that should you grow this plant yourself then picking it from the yard would be a great idea....

I am letting everyone know I have had to move and my life turned upside-down as we had a house fire. All of us and the pets got out safely. We lost alot but we gain a new respect for each other. I will say the Red Cross is an awesome entity as the have done so much for us. We are taking things slow and today I finally got my internet and everything else up.

Goddess Of The Day : Pukkeenegak Asking Festival (Alaska)
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411

Goddess Of The Day : Pukkeenegak
Asking Festival (Alaska)
Themes: Kinship, Community, Thankfulness, Charity, Kindness
Symbols: Tattoos
About Pukkeenegak: This Inuit Goddess presides over all household and community affairs. As a mother figure,
she watches kindly over her children, making sure we have clothing and food. Art shows her with a tattooed face,
boots, and a lovely dress befitting the patroness of seamstresses.
To Do Today: Among the Inuit, this is a time when youths go door to door gathering foods for a huge community
feast. Afterward, people petition one another for gifts -exchanging the entire community's goods in the spirit of
thanksgiving. So, orchestrate a gathering of people of a like mind for a potluck dinner at which Pukkeenegak
is guest of honor (leave a space for her).
Wear special clothing today that reflects the Goddess's gift with needle and thread. Or organize a clothing drive
so people can donate items they no longer need to a charitable cause. This way the Goddess can bless each
person each person who receives one of those garments with her providence!
I you have found your home or heart tense lately, invoke Pukkeenegak's unifying, steadying energy by drawing
an emblem of peace over your heart chakra or on the back of your hand (use non-toxic marker or body paint)
Leave it there until it naturally wears off,by which time the magic should show signs of manifesting.

A Rite For Mother Earth
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411

A Rite For Mother Earth
This isn't a spell. It's a magical ritual designed to give energy back to the Earth. You may use it or not
as you wish.Light no candles. Burn no incense. Go to the wilds to perform this..., a place far from the haunts
of humans. If this is impossible, work this rite in you place of magic. There, have ready a potted plant or four
plain stones. (Don't use mined quartz crystals.)
Sit on the ground. Place your hands onto the dirt beneath you ( or onto the plant or stones, if inside).
Visualize the Earth from space as a blueish-white sphere of positive, whole, healed energy. Experience it
as a living organism. When you're ready, say these or similar words:
Pure are the caves and the plains;
Pure are the sod and the hills;
Pure are the lakes and rills;
Pure are the clouds and rains;
Pure are the woods and trees;
Pure are the valleys deep;
Pure are the bays and seas.
Renew your visualization, then begin again;
Pure are the birds that fly;
Pure are the hounds and bats;
Pure are the fish and whales;
Pure are the hares and cats;
Pure are the owls and snakes;
Pure are the stags and deer;
Pure are the lizards green;
Pure are all creatures here.
Once again, renew your visualization. Feel the Earth. Block all thoughts of the ravages that our species
has subjected to our planet. See the Earth as a healed, whole being. Then say these or whatever words
come to mind:
As I receive your energy, now receive mine.
Pour your personal power out through you palms and into the Earth (or the stones or plant). Gently send it
spiraling down into our planet, lending it the strength to survive. Willingly give of yourself for a few moments
while visualizing that shining blue planet hanging in the sky.
After a few moments, end the ritual by lifting your hands and standing. (If performing this rite indoors, place
the stones or the potted plant onto the ground outside to allow the Earth to absorb the energy.) It is done!

Indian Poet Ramprasad
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Sun Nov 13, 2011 8:16 pm (PST)
You think you understand the goddess?
Even philosophers cannot explain her.
The scriptures say that she, herself,
is the essence of us all. It is she, herself,
who brings life through her sweet will.
You think you understand her?
I can only smile. You think you can
truly know her? Now you make me laugh!
But what our minds accept, our hearts do not.
Ants try to grasp the moon, we the goddess.
~Indian Poet Ramprasad
Carl Jung said that a great truth is something whose opposite is also a great truth. Life is full of ambiguities
and contradictions. One of these is our desire to understand and to articulate the ineffable, the parts of life that
cannot be understood and articulated. The great poet Ramprasad finds comedy in our attempts to do so - which
are, however, an inevitable part of our humanity.
Learning to live with these ambiguities and contradictions means learning wisdom. It is difficult to hold two mutually
contradictory facts in mind at once, and to believe them both with a full and true heart. Yet Ramprasad's Goddess,
Kali, teaches us to do so. Death is frightening and comforting. Pain is inevitable and grotesquely surprising. Love is
destructive and sustaining. Both are true, and often true at the same moment - great truths, whose opposites are also
great truths.
