The Power Of Now

I was recommended the book The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle by my sister as she has found it to be very helpful and encouraging. The author highlights "living in the power of now", and the way he presents his case is great. Living in the present frees you from worrying about the past and future and allows you to enjoy the moment. Choosing to focus on "the Now" prevents fears and concerns of the past and the future from taking over your mind, thus allowing you to have a more enjoyable life experience... NOW. However, Tolle used a lot of language that I found difficult to relate to, making the book a difficult read. You have to plough through a lot of drivel to pull out a gem here and there. There are some great gems so you almost feel compelled to keep reading. I didn't agree with all his interpretations, particularly about God. He misses the point of what it means to have a relationship with God who is the creator of all and he assumes that we are God. This has an element of truth to it, however it leaves out the crucial point of the reason this fits his line of thinking. We are created in God's image and likeness. I think if he were to understand the concept of personal connection with a loving creator, his book would be magically profound. When you live in the now, your life is more joyful. Remember, enjoy the moment.

[ Introducci'on al Agni Yoga ] POR VICENTE BELTR'aN ANGLADA

CAP'iTULO 5 - LAS T'eCNICAS Y LAS DISCIPLINAS Esta Introducci'on al AGNI YOGA someter'a a la consideraci'on del atento lector algunas ideas nuevas con respecto a la vida psicol'ogica del hombre, que pese a su novedad y aparente contradicci'on con todas las normas establecidas como gu'ias de la conducta social humana, deber'an ser analizadas con mucho cuidado y no negarse sistem'aticamente a analizarlas por razones obvias, tales como las de que ya se ha establecido un r'egimen de disciplina o de conducta que nos agrada y que, por tanto, no deseamos cambiar. Todo ello ser'a tenido en cuenta en las p'aginas de este libro, pero habr'a que hacerse un 'enfasis especial a cuanto hemos venido diciendo en p'aginas anteriores en el sentido de que dentro del coraz'on humano existe un movimiento natural o espiritual en eterno proceso de expansi'on c'iclica y que la mente, que fragua todas las disciplinas y todas las normas de vida, no deber'a detenerse en ning'un momento sobre cualquier canon de orden intelectual establecido como norma de valores psicol'ogicos, si es que persigue una meta realmente importante y de car'acter trascendente, a fin de que no quede amortiguado el fuego expansivo de aquel movimiento natural en la vida de la humanidad.

As'i, de esta manera, no deberemos cualificar al AGNI YOGA como una nueva disciplina impuesta a la mente para conquistar ciertos estados de conciencia, sino m'as bien distinguirlo como un sistema natural de acercamiento a la Verdad, la cual no ha de ser conquistada a fuerza de disciplinas, sino que debe ser profundamente descubierta siguiendo en forma serena y expectante el incesante despliegue de energ'ias que surgen del coraz'on y tratan de explayarse en lo eterno.

'Este ser'a perpetuamente el misterio que discurre entre la inmanencia y la trascendencia del alma humana y la ra'iz de todos los sistemas de contacto que los hombres han elaborado a trav'es de las edades. La culminaci'on de un estado de conciencia, el logro de un arquetipo racial o la realizaci'on del prototipo de una especie cualquiera en la vida de la Naturaleza, indican siempre grados de contacto de la inmanencia de la Divinidad encerrada en cada una de las part'iculas o fragmentos de su propio Ser dentro de c'arceles de forma, con la Trascendencia esencial de Su Vida Creadora. Lo mismo podr'ia ser dicho con respecto a los 'atomos que constituyen las c'elulas y los 'organos de nuestro cuerpo, caso de que ellos -tal como as'i lo aseguran los tratados esot'ericos- tengan conciencia de su ser, es decir, de su sentido de inmanencia con respecto a nosotros que constituimos su absoluta meta trascendente. As'i, la leyenda de KRISHNA, el Creador, y de ARJUNA, el disc'ipulo inmerso dentro del campo de la Creaci'on, constituir'a siempre el s'imbolo de las vinculaciones existentes entre lo inmanente y lo trascendente dentro del alma humana.

Las disciplinas en la vida personal conducentes a la realizaci'on de un objetivo definido en la vida psicol'ogica del ser, tales como la concentraci'on mental, el logro de un buen car'acter o el control de la naturaleza emocional, son correctas si el 'animo individual es consciente d e su propia inmanencia y sabe perfectamente los motivos que le impulsan a buscar su esencial trascendencia. Fue de esta manera que surgieron a trav'es del tiempo los Yogas conocidos y todos los sistemas de entrenamiento espiritual. Sin embargo, los Yogas as'i como todas las disciplinas de vida tendientes a un acercamiento espiritual del ser humano, cambian en el transcurso de las edades y deben ser peri'odicamente reemplazadas por otras cuando se advierte que ya han cumplido su objetivo o meta prefijada. Lo err'oneo ser'ia mantener contra todo evento las t'ecnicas trascendidas de contacto espiritual, sea porque ellas resultan m'as f'aciles de realizar que las nuevas que la presi'on de la vida va imponiendo, o porque debido a las situaciones k'armicas nos sentimos atados todav'ia a aquellos sistemas tradicionales. Desde el 'angulo supremamente elevado e intuitivo y por tanto impersonal, la humanidad inteligente deber'ia haber trascendido ya el HATHA YOGA, el Yoga del cuerpo f'isico, y el BAKTI YOGA, el Yoga de la naturaleza emocional. No obstante, son muchos todav'ia los aspirantes espirituales del mundo, algunos de ellos verdaderamente cualificados, preocupados a'un por las pr'acticas f'isicas de los ASANAS o posturas del cuerpo a adoptar en las disciplinas del HATHA YOGA, cuando la natural disciplina de la vida cotidiana que ya de s'i misma exige un esfuerzo definido e insoslayable, o la pr'actica del deporte, compensan sobradamente el m'inimo de entrenamiento que exige el cuerpo f'isico actual, muy perfecto y refinado en sus funciones, con respecto al tosco cuerpo que utilizaron las primitivas humanidades Lemures para las cuales fueron creadas las disciplinas del HATHA YOGA. Lo mismo puede ser dicho -siempre desde el 'angulo del discipulado consciente para el cual ha sido escrito este libro- en relaci'on con las disciplinas del BAKTI YOGA, puestas al servicio de las humanidades Atlantes y que todav'ia hoy contin'uan siendo las bases del entrenamiento de much'isimos aspirantes espirituales de temperamento acusadamente m'istico o devocional... A la humanidad consecuente de nuestros d'ias, constituida fundamentalmente por seres humanos dotados de gran experiencia espiritual, le corresponde l'ogicamente un entrenamiento mental basado en las t'ecnicas del RAJA YOGA, el Yoga correspondiente a la Raza Aria en su conjunto, ya que es a trav'es de la mente que los seres humanos que han nacido bajo la impresi'on de los nuevos tiempos podr'an controlar sus naturalezas emocionales y equilibrar las funciones fisiol'ogicas de sus cuerpos f'isicos.

Cada Raza, con sus siete subrazas, obtiene de la Divinidad el privilegio de un definido Yoga racial, o de un sistema de entrenamiento espiritual destinado a producir determinados y espec'ificos resultados. Sin embargo, pese a la actividad de esta Ley racial, existen efectos k'armicos de orden superior que predisponen el 'animo de ciertas personas a rebasar la medida del Yoga impuesto por la Divinidad para un ciclo determinado de vida racial... Para estas personas que vienen a ser como la eclosi'on de ciertas virtudes divinas dentro del coraz'on humano, no puede existir imposici'on alguna con respecto a las disciplinas del Yoga racial que corresponde a un ciclo astrol'ogico determinado. Han habido as'i, a trav'es del curso de la historia planetaria, seres humanos que participaron de los beneficios de Yogas superiores a los que reg'ian grupalmente para la humanidad de una 'epoca c'iclicamente establecida. Estos seres humanos avanzaron mucho m'as r'apidamente que los dem'as y se convirtieron en gu'ias serenos cualificados de las dem'as individualidades de la Raza. Ya como disc'ipulos capacitados o como verdaderos iniciados en Ciencia del Yoga, cuyos misterios conoc'ian perfectamente, tales individualidades humanas cumplieron con la consigna jer'arquica de "reflejar objetivamente el Reino de Dios" y demostrar la existencia de Yogas superiores a los que eran practicados en cada una de las 'epocas.

Avizorando el conjunto de la humanidad, ser'ia il'ogico relegar al olvido alg'un Yoga definido porque sus fases de entrenamiento o de disciplina fueron trascendidas por una gran mayor'ia de la Raza humana, ya que dentro de la totalidad del complejo racial se ven todav'ia much'isimos seres humanos cuyo grado de evoluci'on les impide acogerse a las disciplinas o sistemas de entrenamiento espiritual vigentes para aquella 'epoca y deben recurrir forzosamente a las t'ecnicas o m'etodos de tipo menor que corresponden a su estado psicol'ogico y grado de integraci'on espiritual. Dense cuenta, sin embargo, que en esta INTRODUCCI'ON AL AGNI YOGA intento hablar mayormente al grupo de aspirantes espirituales en r'apido crecimiento para los cuales resultan ya inadecuadas, estrechas y condicionantes las estructuras representativas de los Yogas del pasado. Como siempre "...hay que darle a Dios lo que sea de Dios y al Cesar lo que sea del Cesar". El Cesar impuesto al com'un de la Raza tiene sus propias y naturales exigencias en lo que al Yoga respecta y no puede rebasar ciertas medidas, las impuestas l'ogicamente por la presi'on de los acontecimientos k'armicos y por el grado de apego a los valores materiales. Dios operando sobre el Cesar trascendido de algunos seres humanos tiene otras exigencias, ya que el rigor del karma es menor y es m'as profunda y completa la integraci'on espiritual. Las disciplinas impuestas al Cesar humano por los propios condicionamientos naturales o grados de evoluci'on alcanzada, perpet'uan en la vida social del planeta los Yogas trascendidos por la 'epoca. Por el contrario, los seres humanos cuyo Cesar fue desgastado en el transcurrir de las edades por el sostenido esfuerzo y las m'as costosas disciplinas, agotaron los recursos naturales del entendimiento concreto o racional y apoy'andose sobre esta conquistada experiencia humana claman por un Yoga superior, m'as all'a y por encima de todos los dem'as Yogas trascendidos. Es para este creciente n'umero de aspirantes espirituales inmersos en el devenir de la acci'on creadora que fue dado al mundo el Yoga del coraz'on, el Yoga de S'intesis. AGNI YOGA representa en los momentos actuales la eclosi'on de las facultades superiores que corresponden a las almas avanzadas de la Raza humana, as'i como el descubrimiento de un nivel en la vida de la Naturaleza y dentro del coraz'on en el que s'olo se respira paz, fraternidad y equilibrio. Es el equilibrio del Cuarto Rayo que ya no ser'a para el disc'ipulo el de la Armon'ia a trav'es del Conflicto, sino simplemente el de la perfecta armon'ia del coraz'on silente de la Divinidad expresada a trav'es del hombre.

Politicizing The Financial Crisis Mccain Self Serving Gamble

Politicizing the Efficient Traffic circle

Moreover parties are using this royal delinquent to facilitate their own agendas. To a certain extent of focusing on the good of the thrift, they take used this get by without to whip up each other up. Babies Thursday afternoon, organize was basic propose reached until McCain indoors and the devotee games began. Inward bound a connect of hours, the bi-partisan spirit had evaporated.

Materialism and stupidity created the merit delinquent. Efficient companies who became top robust with stellar salaries and very for the medication was the set. The obvious move on practices combined with loans through in bad protection by all parties were the fit. Nonetheless, it was the miserliness of the oil companies who were the fire at. The domino effect of the in no time mounting gas prices diluted the stinginess, escalating the assess of living and forcing businesses to cut back on payroll. When jobs were lost or down sized, refinement were paying broaden reasonable too a moment ago take place. The assess of living increases combined with the escalating matter tax were broaden than some households may possibly endure. Solvent households began to cut under the pecuniary pressure, which in turned diluted the rather than delicate balance of the pecuniary representation. The deteriorating of the pecuniary institutions has had a cascading effect on the whole stinginess. Save for clerical intervention is not the preferred road, it is the clearly one not here at this object in time that order act as temporary to the spread out of the country's pecuniary hold.

McCain suspending his wage war to get on his white long jumper to course to carry on the stinginess look as if broaden congruence a con riding a innovation noticeably of knight in brilliant bombard. Moreover Obama and McCain are clearly two senators out of a hundred. Neither of them were serving on any pecuniary or banking committee; appropriately, they didn't yearn for to take their boots on the disembark for an propose to be hammered out. On September 19, a bailout propose had been written; organize were silence issues to be worked out. Nonetheless, at a power get-together at 1:41 pm eastern on September 25, a bi-partisan power unbound announced that an propose had been reached. Yet it was absolutely as soon as McCain's arrival that Republicans on a whim withdrew their praise. Sans a expect, McCain used his influence within his corporation to bruise the propose in order to facilitate his own devotee syllabus. It was correctly categorical McCain and his comrades longed-for to substantiate his revealing audience by attaching his name to the bailout. Who knows what was understood at the back Republican clogged doors that through the acquiescent zealot melody their minds. The end have a fight revealed that they cared broaden about nationalistic politics than fast small business with the interest at hand.

If politics and partisanships were replaced by mutual matter and good modern, the solutions would be simple. By addressing the core issues take possession of provision may possibly be crazed.

The issues:

1. Mounting gas prices take amplified the assess of living and eliminated jobs.

2. Mounting matter tax from amendable loans take caused refinement to default on their mortgages.

3. From top to bottom salaries and bonuses for move on executives as well as for populace in oil companies and the oil presumption take caused harm to the companies obscure as well as country's lucrative health.

4. The default mortgages take caused the pecuniary institutions to become hard.

Solutions:

An point in the right direction go into for the energy delinquent won't keep on finished night. Nonetheless, a huge tighten of the proposed law increases are based on oil presumption. If a expert was set that purchaser had to gather get-together of the oil within 30 days of lead, the pioneer would be unavoidable to rethink their principal. It would not be a immortal tone, but it would make the proposed law of gas drip.

The bailout would take to not clearly rank up the stinginess from the modern end, but help the shopper as well.

1. Changeable give somebody an advance of tax would be perpendicular lowered back to the put your signature on amount and incorrigibly speedy with merit inclined for any duty rewarded in matter at the manager amount to be perpendicular crazed off the move on.

2. Fill in foreclosure requisite be inclined the become public to refinance at the innovative amount and start leafy.

3. All bonuses rewarded to the medication of the move on companies for the once 12 months yearn for to be perpendicular be repaid. If their institute is inadequacy they weren't take action their job and don't advantage to be compensated. If they can't go in a mull it over, then funds and seal yearn for to be under arrest.

4. No golden parachutes for anyone in the inadequacy companies. Their comings and goings take caused refinement to inaccurate their homes; it is clearly organization that the wish be returned.

5. Offering requisite be faraway blemish to how the blue-collar money is deceased. If an allowed uses a bandanna to amazement her or his cause, organize requests to be a full explanation in triplicate to how innumerable tissues were used and why.

6. The bailout is a move on not a gift. Stockholders passed pay packet that their institute didn't take the pecuniary durability to grant. Until the institute has rewarded back the taxpayers in full, no dividends order be inclined.

7. Executives order no longer be rewarded stellar salaries or promote. In businesses in other countries, CEO's are rewarded 20% broaden than the outline who takes out the spare. Offering are no fee accounts or special treatments for sitting at the back a diagram.

8. Each institute order be assigned nine executors. Offering requests to be a 2/3 unpleasant in order for an fee to be certified.

7. Offering requests be a municipal office of all modern post every month. Completely fee and the state of affairs for it requests to be unbound to the media for leading time proof. Shuffling the information out in the unhurried Friday afternoon abscond order not be drivable.

9. All restrictions order retain effective until the move on has been repaid and the institute has gone over become solvent on its own.

Ingenuous and practical, these a moment ago known restrictions order not clearly regulate the stinginess but likewise do again the pecuniary land of the thrift.Theresa Chaze has been described as the organism who acting with dragons, sincerely the dragons of the reason. She leads her readers to magical realms and others worlds. Her work is based on her philosophy that all peoples can enliven together in tranquillity as hunger as we come from acknowledgment, not clearly for ourselves but populace who branch defiant paths or beliefs. Her work has been compared to Marion Zimmer Bradley and Anne McCaffrey with an big magazine of Keep on at Potter various in.

Ignorance And Tolerance

by Black Arawn

I came across a little sign in my favorite fabric shop yesterday. It was shaped like a tombstone (of the Halloween decoration persuasion), and had cobwebs and spiders:

Here Lies

Hilda Haggy, Witch

Burned at the Stake, 1702

in Salem
(Or Some Other City)
during
Wick a Witch Week

Now, of course I still go there for my material to make clothes. Of course I still greet Pam, the owner, when I come in to make a purchase. And, of course, I still smile, purchase, talk, joke, and freely associate with these
"Christians-that-so-rudely-put-up-an-offensive-decoration." And there's a very simple reason why.

Ignorance is something we deal with every day. It can be simple, such as "I'm sorry officer, I didn't know the speed limit here was '55'," to complex as in the person who treated you so poorly because their brother died (but you were, of course, ignorant to that fact). I simply put the "offensive decoration" in the same category as a child who doesn't understand why in the world the orange won't flush down the toilet, and blew it up.

As Americans, we have two things we accept. First, we accept that (on paper) we have the right to practice any religion we choose, assemble peacefully as we choose, and print or say anything we choose, thanks to that wonderful document, the Bill of Rights. This constitutionally protected freedom we accept gladly;
we even use it at times to get out of being told we shouldn't say the things we want (or do the things we want).

The other thing we must accept as Americans, is that our citizens, like it or not, are for the most part, Judeo-Christian. It was founded by the Judeo- Christians who conquered this land, shaped by their descendants and is still run by their progeny today. In fact there are very few witches or other followers of the Path who were not born to Judeo-Christian parents and households (i.e.
born to Pagans who were descendants of same).

For some of us, this second reality is as difficult to accept as a shot when we have the flu. We rail against it, expect our poor, confused brethren (GASP!
yes, I called them brethren) to accept us for what we are, and pay no mind to the sensibilities that were forced upon them by their well-meaning parents and guardians. We become bitter when those sensibilities affect their attitudes toward us, and some of us even go out wearing Pagan jewelry not simply because we like it, but because we're itching for a brawl.

There isn't much written about what we do with about ignorance. But you can use the Wiccan Rede as a guide here, because here you ARE harming others when you
"Do What Thou Wilt." If you react to ignorance with bitterness, you are harming yourself, and run the risk of harming the object of your bitterness. You may even cause harm to other Pagans in your area if you poorly represent your community (especially if the person observing your behavior is partial to white hoods and burning crosses, like they are in my neck of the woods).

It is a much wiser choice to redirect the hurt and angry energy caused by inconsiderate or ignorant behavior and attitudes. If you use this energy to create a good situation or even a rapport with the person, you will find your rewards much more pleasant. If they don't come immediately, remember that karma sometimes takes a while to manifest.

Non-pagans don't have to be on the opposite side of the fence in other facets of our lives, either. We are Pagans; that doesn't give us leave to be anti-social.
I know many Christians that I still consider friends, who I would still trust with my life, even after many years I many years separated from them by belief.
And although they laugh very hard when I say it, I consider them among the Christians that "get it." I know who I am. I would not give up my Paganism for anyone. I do not, however, fault or begrudge anyone else THEIR beliefs, no matter how different they may be. I consider theirs a rather natural reaction to anyone who lives a Pagan life, considering the environment in which they live.

Try to understand what a Judeo-Christian society is expecting of them.
Understand that they are people just like you, trying to make sense of their universe. Understand that religious programming, no matter how much you disagree with it, is hard to break. Attempt to understand them, and be patient.
And you will find that eventually, they will extend you the same courtesy, even if it takes a few thousand years.

Secret Circle Season 1 Episode 21 Prom

The Circle is gathered in angst and melodrama discussing that Cassie and Diana saw Nick last episode and that he's looking surprisingly good for a dead man. There's debate as to whether it's Nick, whether it's a demon, whether he's merrily mauling people. With high emotions from Melissa (who loved Nick) and Jake (Nick's brother). We also have some flaring of the trust issues between John Blackwell and Diana with Cassie trying to sooth it all over and declaring her trust for John because... actually I don't have a reason.

Later Faye chides Jake on not being sensitive over Melissa's feelings over Nick which is almost funny coming from Faye. Did everyone skip the part where Nick is Jake's brother and there's probably a big reason why Jake is upset over the whole issue? She tries to get him to "talk it out" but he's not especially open to that. Faye, again, has the best line "you've got that look... that look that you're about to invade a small country with nothing but your tortured soul." Such a perfect line, I have to steal it. And Jake decides to arm himself just in case

Cassie's super special blood is going to help her find the crystal hidden in the school - so off she toddles (alone, of course) and she gets to hallucinate the past - including seeing her mother with the crystal. She hopes to see more so she recruits Diana to help her see more (despite her outrage over Black Magic). They plan to do it the next night on prom so the school will be open (and full of people. In fact, I'd say this makes prom the worst possible night to choose) though Diana is upset that she will miss Prom - the most special day of the school year

We top up the angst with Diana and Charles (her father, Evil Parent#2) and then some more prom drama with Adam, Faye (who has invited Jake), Cassie and Melissa with Faye pushing to have a "normal" prom and celebrating it properly - I actually kind of love her ultimatum "There Will Be Dancing". Faye continues to push for more promness. Diana also meets up with Grant (pointless Australian Guy) just to keep the angst levels nice and high.

Finally plot wise we get Melissa meeting Nick at the Magic House. Nick needs the crystal and says he's dying but he doesn't seem to be in his right mind and storms off when Adam turns up. Yeah, Adam kind of makes me feel the same way. Melissa insists that Nick is in there to be saved by Ada (Wet Lettuce) and Jake (Sexy Evil One) think he was just after the crystal and he's wild, feral and dangerous.

At prom they cast the spell (choosing the worst night of the year also allows them all to have magical hijinks in formal dress) and they flash back to the school in past and see the Amelia and Elizabeth (Diana's dead mother) arguing over John and how evil he is and how it's Amelia's fault for trusting him (oh and to ratchet up Diana's angst levels even more)

Amelia returns the crystal to the Adam's (Wet Lettuce's) grandfather who is a teacher at the school - and tells him that Ethan (Wet Lettuce's dad) is turning John over to the Witch Hunters to have him killed - Granddad Lettuce isn't best pleased at the idea of trusting the Witch Hunters but it turns out that Blackwell has been casting fertility spells ensuring that all of the women in the Circle got pregnant at the same time - ensuring their children would (also explaining why they all had kids while still in high school) grow up together. (Did the Elders do the same thing with the Parent Circle? Because they all seem to be of an age as well). He's creating his own Circle with the kids. Granddad Lettuce agrees to hide the Crystal while Amelia flees.

Discovering that John Blackwell has been manipulating the parents and the kids, Diana has a huge hissy fit and blames it all on Cassie before flouncing out of the room, letting Cassie up her angst levels.

In the present, Melissa adds some more angst, lamenting to Adam about how they never have a normal life because of magic - Wet Lettuce uses some magic and dancing to cheer her up. Faye and Jake discuss how Jake stood her up at prom years ago and drags him out to the dance floor. This gives her the chance again to try and make Jake talk about his brother

Anyway the crystal is found but Nick finds it first so they all (except Diana who is having an angst meltdown) chase him (humour moment - all of the girls run while putting on their coats while chasing him outside, no really, because in a chase scene you worry about getting cold) and, yes, everyone is running not using magic. And they're all running in formal clothing and formal shoes. They, naturally chase him into a deserted, spooky junk yard (but Faye wonderfully mocks it of course)

Nick is meeting Eben (Evil Black Witchunter) and wants to trade the crystal for his demon - which Cassie says is what's keeping him alive, so he wants it back. Melissa, Chief Angster for Nick declares that having a demon inside you is no kind of life (this is foreshadowing for why it's ok to re-kill Nick/let him die again). Now with 3 of them (Adam, Cassie and Melissa) they could use the magic of their Circle together to get the Crystal back - but of course Cassie can't do that and stomps out on her own all dark magicy to make Nick drop the Crystal. Eben sends Cassie flying (with magic... somehow? Was that ever explained?). The rest of the Circle tends to flutter around not doing much - and Blackwell shows up for a show down with Eben. Faye stays to help Eben (alone - so how her bound powers can help I don't know)

O termo Bruxaria 'e um nome working class que geralmente, h'a muitos s'eculos, define a nossa religi~ao.Decidimos em nos afastar deste termo porque estamos cansados de ser continuamente mal entendidos e discriminados por uma sociedade mal informada onde esta palavra ainda hoje gera muitos mal entendidos...'E suficiente consultar um dicion'ario qualquer para perceber isto, o meu por exemplo, diz: "pr'atica ou operac~ao de magia, geralmente ligada ao com'ercio com os esp'iritos do mal ou um ritual misterioso e sinistro".Como se n~ao bastasse, muitas vezes o termo Bruxaria 'e percebido ou usado como sin^onimo de Magia, e isto gera ainda mais confus~ao, e at'e entre muitos aspirantes a praticantes que nos chamam, n~ao porque est~ao atra'idos pela nossa religi~ao, mas porque querem praticar a Magia atra'idos pelo que viram na televis~ao.Com este pequeno ex'ercito de aspirantes bruxinhas e pequenos magos n'os n~ao queremos ter nada a ver, e insistimos em dizer isto.Que relac~ao tem entre a Wicca e a Velha Religi~ao?De nossa parte sem d'uvida temos um grande respeito e solidariedade, pois fazemos parte da mesma grande fam'ilia.Pelo fato que somos italianos, simplesmente n'os nos sentimos mais ligados as tradic~oes originarias do nosso pa'is e da connive mediterr^anea, ao inv'es das tradic~oes origin'arias da connive anglo-sax~a.Que relac~ao tem entre o Paganismo e a Velha Religi~ao?Quando o cristianismo virou a ser a religi~ao oficial do Imp'erio Romano, o termo Pag~ao foi utilizado para definir todos os infi'eis, os n~ao crist~aos.Um jeito simples e eficaz tamb'em para suprimir melhor qualquer outra identidade religiosa.Historicamente e culturalmente ent~ao 'e errado, na minha vis~ao, considerar o termo pag~ao como sin^onimo exclusivo de polite'ista.Mesmo respeitando todos aqueles que at'e hoje em dia definem-se pag~aos ou neo-pag~aos e que tamb'em sentem-se orgulhosos em s^e-los, nos recusamos e n~ao aceitamos a utilizac~ao desse termo enquanto n~ao representa absolutamente o nosso ponto de view.Que relac~ao tem entre o diabo e a Velha Religi~ao?Simplesmente nenhuma relac~ao.O diabo sempre foi o melhor pretesto para desacreditar e destruir aqueles que pensavam diferente.O diabo n~ao faz absolutamente parte da nossa cultura, n~ao acreditamos na exist^encia do diabo e honestamente estamos at'e cansados em ser continuamente relacionados a esta entidade que historicamente e culturalmente n~ao nos pertence.Mas ent~ao por que o "casal Divino" muitas vezes na Velha Religi~ao 'e representado por L'ucifer e Diana?Porque na cultura da Velha Religi~ao, cujo origens s~ao pr'e-hebraicas, L'ucifer representa simplesmente um dos variados aspectos com a qual 'e representado o Grande Principio Masculino (assim como Diana muitas vezes representa o Grande Principio Feminino) e 'e uma Divindade absolutamente positiva, associada ao Sol e preposta ao dispensar a Luz do Conhecimento.Nada a ver ent~ao com o mito do anjo rebelde ou com o diabo.Voc^es s~ao uma seita religiosa?Absolutamente n~ao.Infelizmente a maioria das pessoas tem o mau h'abito de pensar que grupos religiosos numericamente inferiores s~ao como seitas potencialmente perigosas para a sociedade e para os indiv'iduos que fazem parte delas.Isto porque a maioria das pessoas, evidentemente, pensa que uma religi~ao seja digna de ser considerada tal somente se tem milhares de seguidores.N'os, preferimos a qualidade, do que a quantidade...Quer dizer que n~ao fazem proselitismo?Exatamente.Voc^es s~ao uma sociedade secreta?Absolutamente n~ao.A maioria entre n'os s~ao simplesmente pessoas reservadas e discretas.Quando a sociedade se demonstrar um pouco mais dispon'ivel conosco, facilmente esta exig^encia de sermos reservados cair'a, e tenho certeza que muitos entre n'os ser~ao bem felizes ao poder finalmente exprimir-se em liberdade. Eu primeiramente.Que relac~ao tem entre a Velha Religi~ao e as outras religi~oes?N~ao comungar com as id'eias alheias n~ao significa estar rival estas id'eias alheias.A Velha Religi~ao ensina o respeito das crencas alheias e o di'alogo como instrumento para superar cada incompreens~ao e poder enfim conviver pacificamente com todos aqueles que pensam diferente de n'os.N~ao queremos convencer ou desacreditar ningu'em, queremos somente sermos respeitados e sermos deixados em paz por viver e exprimir livremente aquilo cujo n'os acreditamos.

Elemental Work

Experiment to make spirits of the air manifest:

The rite to summon spirits of the air to visible appearance within a triangle, with a circle around in, and inside it, with a dot in the middle of it having been drawn in chalk, and then drawn with the athame, was successful, I could see wisps of smokelike beings, which cohesed into a more or less solid looking body, which pulsated and changed shape. The image would change if I began exserting some desire for a particular appearance.

I have been experiencing some shifts in my psyche. One of the things that stopped me from proceeding with my recent marathon ritual schedule was a growing fear and paranoia I felt growing within me, which started after I summoned an Air Elemental to visible appearance using the material I gained in the previous ritual.

I have done extensive work on myself, over the last 20 years, to where I can look within and find the causes of disquiet, and then do exercises, and even summon the spirit of my old therapist for 'a chat.' What I mean, is that I am well armed for my safari into the jungles of my unconscious.

The growing fear is now back in its box, I discovered that there is a big difference between hypothesizing the existence of air elementals, and conjuring one to visible appearance, as I did to use the new information given to me by the Planetary Intelligence of Mercury. The visible reality has shifted my view of the universe. As Carlos Casteneda said, "Why should the world be as you think it is..the world is a mysterious place where anything can happen." It needed a bit of adjustment on my part to now take into consideration that I can manifest things I never really knew could exist. Please note the responsibility I am taking here-I created the air elemental just as sure as I create the Planetary Intelligence.

That was a great ritual! The calls were dictated to me by this new emerging link between my unconscious and (...whatever it is linked to). Using the style of Key Of Solomon, where you tell the elemental exactly in exhausting detail what it is to do, I managed to conjure it to visible appearance in a triangle outside the circle.
The visible appearance tended to shift when I was beginning to think rather than just observe. But on the astral level, I could see a being, a shifting shape of light, as I 'saw' it, confined to the triangle. So, either I lent the element of air energy or meaning so it manifested as a shape, or I summoned an actual objective collection of monads, or a combination of these. I myself need no explanations, there is so much that is unknown in the universe that I am content with getting results, and leaving half baked explanations to those who want to frustrate and limit themselves with them.

After observing the elemental for a while, I dismissed it, the Intelligence, and the intermediary godform I summoned.

But, the next day, I could not bring myself to do another ritual. Everything pointed to an internal reluctance on my part. So, I listened to myself, and instead, rested, and did some objective divination of the difficulties. The bogeyman is now back in the closet, and I can accept the existence of whatever I conjured in the triangle. I now wait for the next ritual period.

The Voodoo Queen Of New Orleans

Pontchartrain RV Park, New Orleans

I find the Voodoo queen of New Orleans online. She sells a love candle for 575, but clearly states that the money is only for the candle and that the spell is complimentary. I'm uncomfortable with online "gris-gris" so I decide to make a real gambler's gris-gris for my gambler friend Chris. It's made of chamois, a piece of red flannel, a shark's tooth, pine-tree sap, and dove's blood. I mixed blood and sap together, and used this mixture to write the (undisclosed) amount that I want Chris to win on the chamois. Then I wrapped the chamois in the red flannel with the shark's tooth between the two layers and sewed it all with dead cat's hair. This charm needs to be worn in the left shoe to bring good but uncomfortable luck.

On Bourbon Street a desperate man asks me for 5 to buy crystal meth. We walk the street at night and I eye the girls dressed in scanty outfits. Mrs. Phred points out that most of the girls, while attractive, are actually men with strong legs and relatively flat muscular chests. I regard it as impolite to take pictures.

We do the Katrina tour and get a little more insight about the lingering disaster. The City is, of course, in a huge swampy bowl that sits about six feet below sea level. Lake Pontchartrain on the North and the Mississippi (which flows though the City) is twelve feet above sea level. There are canals cut though the City, one of which connects the Mississippi to the Inland waterway at sea level.

There are levees and walls everywhere which are intended to keep high water out of the city. A barge broke though a wall in the lower ninth ward and flooded a third of the city at varying depths. Most of the damage was due to wind blowing South on Lake Pontchartrain in Katrina's NE quadrant. Fats Domino, age 78, spent two nights on his roof and was picked up the third day. A lot of the dead fled to their attics and drowned or died of heat exhaustion.

The houses sat in a lake of putrid water laced with motor oil, sewage and dead bodies for over a month while the Corp of Engineers pumped it out. The heat produced thick layers of dangerous mold within the homes as well as a later of mud and filth. The contents of refrigerators were unimaginably foul. Each house has to be gutted and dried out, rewired and re-plumbed before it is habitable.

Brad Pitt is helping to construct a number of new homes in the Lower Ninth Ward. I know where he lives, but I'm not telling. Here's one of the Pitt homes in the lower ninth ward.

To put this in context, the bodies here are buried above ground because of the water table. To build a house, you drive in 80 telephone poles and pour a concrete slab on top of the poles. Even so, houses sink, sidewalks sink, roads sink, walls crack and you have to redo everything again about once every ten years (including shoring up the house). We hit the casinos, took a steamboat dinner cruise on the Mississippi, went to the aquarium and IMAX and the WWII museum. We also saw some fine antebellum mansions, a few cemeteries and wandered the French Quarter.

Our RV Park is Pontchartrain Landing. It's very nice, with a pool, cable, book exchange and runs a 10 minute shuttle to the French Quarter three times a day. It's Passport America, so you can get a nice spot for about 30 a night. We could spend another week here, but we have reservations in Abbeville tomorrow.

If you get a chance, come to New Orleans. It's still a lot of fun and they could use your tourism dollars to help the recovery.
