I had to read that twice to understand it properly.... that's what i get
for not touching guns.

If you want to clean out the house, Lemon Juice, with salt to wash down the
walls.
Find a way to trace a handprint of all those who will be living there, and
add it to the decor of the home. A mirror facing the windows or doors is
good for reflecting things back out of the house, a crystal in the window
is good for shaking things up, and dispersing them, a dream catcher in the
window and a dream pillow under your head can help ward off nightmares. <i
did not say prevent, i said help ward off> Red geraniums on the edge of
your property help define it, same thing with the handprint or tracing of
the hands. it says "MINE" and "I WAS HERE. RECENTLY". My personal favorite
is a little sign my aunt has that says: "Be Nice Or Leave" Simple,
straightforward, to the point, and pretty too.

That's all i can think of off the top of my head. -Deardre

Today's Goddess: UNCHI-AHCHI  Kencha-sai (Japan)

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

Wed Nov 30, 2011 9:04 pm (PST)



Today's Goddess:UNCHI-AHCHI 
Kencha-sai (Japan)
 
Themes: Spirituality; Universal Law; Meditation.
Symbols: Tea; Teapots and Cups
 
About Unchi-Ahchi: Presiding dutifully over the family stove is theis Japanese Goddess, whose name means
"grandmother hearth." From this position in the home she joins today's festivities to warm the tea and to meditate
on our beliefs with the other Gods and Goddesses. Afterward, she returns to our homes and lives with important
insights about the meaning of sacred ritual.
 
To Do Today: In Japan, today is a time to go to Kyoto temple and watch or participate in the ancient tea ceremony.
In this culture, each movement and ingredient in the tea ceremony represents a spiritual principle or truth - all mingled
into a simple, satisfying cup. This is a lovely tradition, so share a cup of tea with a friend or family member today. Invoke
Unchi-ahchi simply by lighting the stove. Use the stove to ignite a candle, and take the candle to where you're sitting to
carry the Goddess's energy to that spot. Discuss spiritual ideas, allowing this goddess to give you new insights. To increase
the significance of your tea ceremony, choose the tea's flavor according to the topic of conversation or something needed
in that relationship. If discussing divination or alternative health, for example, use orange or mint, respectively. To deepen
love or friendship, use lemon.

Spell A Day - Worry Stone Spell

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

Wed Nov 30, 2011 9:05 pm (PST)



Spell A Day - Worry Stone Spell
Incense of the day: Juniper
 
Comfort a loved one
with a thoughtful giftâ€"a blessed worry stone to keep in their pocket.
Take a leisurely walk by a river bank, pond, or ocean beach, and ask the land spirits to lend you a stone. Let your intuition guide you to a
smooth, pleasing stone that sits well in the palm of your hand. Wash it
in the water, and thank the spirits for their gift. Leave a natural gift of birdseed, nuts, or acorns nearby. If possible, set the stone out in
moonlight for three days. Anoint the stone with a drop of oil to enhance your intention. Rosemary, peppermint, or bergamot are all appropriate.
Give your gift during the waxing Moon, and bless the receiver with love.

FW: GHost Hostings 6 & 7: call for papers/ presentations/ performanc

Posted by: "Caroline Tully" heliade@bigpond.com   willowitch2001

For people going to be in the UK…… I think this blog/group/scene/art project
looks really interesting.

From: Society for The Academic Study of Magic
[mailto:ACADEMIC-STUDY-MAGIC@JISCMAIL.AC.UK] On Behalf Of Sarah Sparkes

Subject: [ACADEMIC-STUDY-MAGIC] GHost Hostings 6 & 7: call for papers/
presentations/ performance

Hello!

GHost returns in 2012 with two Hostings. The Hostings are evenings of
inter-disciplinary talks, presentations and performances exploring various
aspects of the ghostly. The Hostings are held in the "haunted" rooms at
Senate House, University of London. Here is the call for submissions for
Hostings 6 & 7, which we hope may be of interest to members of this network.

Best wishes

Sarah

GHost

Call For Papers/ Presentations/ Performance: Hostings 6 & 7

Hosting 6: "Absence – Haunted Landscapes"

Hosting 7: "Presence – Manifesting Ghosts"

GHost invites proposals for papers, presentations, or performances of 30
minutes exploring the desire and attempt to materialise what is absent via
the medium of haunted landscapes or through the manifestation of a ghost. We
would like to hear from researchers within all fields - anthropology, art
history, cultural studies, film studies, history, science, law, literary
studies, parapsychology, psychology, philosophy etc. as well as practising
artists.

The Hostings will take place in the Court Room, University of London, Senate
House between 6.30 – 9.00pm on the 29th February and 14th March.

Please send a (working) title and an abstract of approximately 300 words,
also include which Hosting you are submitting to and, if applicable, one or
two pictures.

Send these to Sarah Sparkes at: ghost.hostings@gmail.com

More about GHost:

www.host-a-ghost.blogspot.com

www.ghost.hostings.co.uk <http://www.ghost.hostings.co.uk/>

Deadline for submissions of proposals: 13th January 2012

Hostings 6: Absence – Haunted Landscapes

The Key Of Solomon, a medieval grimoire instructs magicians to seek out
"places that lie concealed, distant and removed from the haunts of men.
Wherefore desolate and uninhabited regions are most appropriate, such as the
borders of lakes, forests, dark and obscure places, old and deserted houses,
whither rarely and scarce ever men do come, mountains, caves, caverns,
grottos, gardens, orchards..."

Could it be that this instruction suggests a common topography of the
haunted landscape that such venues operate as amplifiers for achieving
rapport with the dead? Perhaps it is the absence of life and the nature of
our own loneliness that in fact haunts the landscape? Are places of tragedy
imbued with spirits of their victims or is this just a romantic engagement,
an imaginative association with a past event? Is it possible to use a
particular landscapes to facilitate the experience of paranormal phenomena –
in this respect can landscape serve like the séance room for the natural
channelling of the spirit of place, or the dead souls of its past? Moreover,
have artists and writers intuitively apprehended these landscapes to
manifest a haunted aesthetic?

GHost invites submissions exploring these or other ideas associated with the
Haunted Landscape.

Hostings 7: Presence – Manifesting Ghosts

"Ghost Seance has the potential to summon spirits at any given location and
time although 3:00 a.m. usually produces the best results." (Taken from a
website advertising a séance app. for smart phones)

Writers, psychical investigators, mediums, parapsychologists, illusionists,
artists all have manifested ghosts in their own way. The writers mind
conjures up ghostly apparitions, pinning down their fleeting forms with
words. In the darkened séance room both psychical investigator and audience
witness phenomena produced by the medium. Whether witnessed by believer or
sceptic, the spirit announces itself, with a common ghostly language: wraps,
moving furniture, unexplained scents, temperature changes, phosphorescent
lights etc. In more recent times visual and auditory ephemera has been
described and captured by paranormal investigators with the help of
technological devices. This new language of the ghostly reappears in the
haunted aesthetics of films such as Nigel Kneale's The Stone Tape and in the
work of contemporary artists such as Susan Hiller. When attempting to
document ghosts, is it us or the ghosts who are controlling the means by
which we describe and measure their presence?

GHost invites submissions exploring ghost-makers; their means, methods and
their reasons for manifesting ghosts.

About GHost

GHost is a visual arts and creative research project which explores the
various roles ghosts play in contemporary culture by bringing artists,
writers, curators, researchers and others together. In homage to Duchamp's
wordplay "A guest + a host = a ghost", we take on and explore the various
roles of ghosts, guests and hosts in our activities. The project has been
running since 2008 and we have organised exhibitions, performance nights and
so-called Hostings, seminar-style workshops which serve as a forum for
exchange between thinkers and makers, audience and practitioners. As a
research project, GHost blurs the boundaries between the diverse research
groups and audiences that exist for the paranormal and hosts events in which
these groups can explore their various beliefs. As a visual arts project,
GHost explores the illusionary power of art and artists to create what could
be seen as a 'haunted aesthetic'. Visual art exhibitions have been hosted by
a John Soane church in East London, at the London Art Fair and the
Folkestone Triennial Fringe while the Hostings have been held at Senate
House, University of London.

GHost has been organising Hostings in association with the IGRS, School of
Advanced Study, University of London since 2009.

> About GHost
>
> GHost is a visual arts and creative research project which explores the
> various roles ghosts play in contemporary culture by bringing artists,
> writers, curators, researchers and others together. In homage to Duchamp’s
> wordplay “A guest + a host = a ghost”, we take on and explore the various
> roles of ghosts, guests and hosts in our activities. The project has been
> running since 2008 and we have organised exhibitions, performance nights and
> so-called Hostings, seminar-style workshops which serve as a forum for
> exchange between thinkers and makers, audience and practitioners. As a
> research project, GHost blurs the boundaries between the diverse research
> groups and audiences that exist for the paranormal and hosts events in which
> these groups can explore their various beliefs. As a visual arts project,
> GHost explores the illusionary power of art and artists to create what could
> be seen as a ‘haunted aesthetic’. Visual art exhibitions have been hosted by
> a John Soane church in East London, at the London Art Fair and the
> Folkestone Triennial Fringe while the Hostings have been held at Senate
> House, University of London.
>
> GHost has been organising Hostings in association with the IGRS, School of
> Advanced Study, University of London since 2009.
