From Mandi:"The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker" is refreshing, adorable, romantic and an exciting story. This book is a paranormal, historical romance, but it is written in such a way you forget about classifications. You forget spirits don't really exist, and you really are not walking around 19th century London. The story completely absorbs you and pulls you into the world and you don't want to leave.Percy starts as such a shy creature, but that is the only way she knows to keep hidden. Leanna Renee Hieber does an amazing job writing Percy - you can feel her yearning, and embarrassment and conflicting feelings. I can't remember being on such an intimate level with another heroine. It is not until Alexi makes her show her true self, and she gains strength in that courage, that she truly shines. Although most of their courtship she is timid, and unsure of how to handle her romantic emotions, when her relationship to Alexi is threatened, she stands up for herself and fights for him. The romance is sweet, and endearing and builds ever so slowly. "(See the full and funny review, giving it a rating of 9... which means it will make a Smexy top 20 this year and that "thrills" me.) Thanks Mandi!
FANTASY DREAMER gives Percy love:From Donna:"It's has been awhile since I've read a gothic fantasy and I don't remember being this entertained reading a book in this genre as much as I was reading "Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker". I enjoyed how Ms. Hieber's prose could make me feel the anticipation of that first touch and the thrill of that first kiss. I was transported to a Victorian London, during the terrible reign of Jack the Ripper. I could hear the clip-clop of the horse hooves echoing down the street, see the ghosts along the streets and feel the eeriness that always seem to accompany the evenings in London. Since I've read this book, I've even caught myself thinking in Victorian speak, it had that much of an impact on me.It was truly a pleasure reading Ms. Hieber's tender love story with her version of Greek mythology mixed with the paranormal. The plot was well rounded and the ending gives you a nice closure but I have a few questions lingering that I hope will be answered in the next book. Your not going to find anything too terribly dark or forbidding in this book, though the evil ones were evil enough to fulfill their part in the setting of this book. It was a wonderful journey reading this book and I'm looking forward to next book in this series. Yes, I would definitely recommend this book."(Read the full post on Donna's gorgeous Fantasy Dreamer's Ramblings blog)Congratulations to both of these lovely ladies for their Book Blogger Appreciation Week nominations!Now!

The Trouble With Atheism Channel 4

Did we like it?

A dogmatic diatribe by Rod Liddle that was forever teetering on the brink of its own crumbling credibility as he set about debunking the sanctimonious pomposity of atheism with a style of prejudicial propaganda not heard on these shores since Lord Haw Haw was silenced.

What was good about it?

o For all of the programme's faults, it justified its existence through its willingness to address and challenge staid, complacent intellectual ideals. The fact that Rod was so cack-handed in his approach only slightly spoilt the spectacle of provocative television in a slot that on Friday housed the execrable Unanimous.

What was bad about it?

o Rod referred to the lack of God as a negative, as it presupposes that the universe is somehow lessened without a divine being. But as he was referring to the narrow monotheistic Christian faith, is Christianity not a 'negative' too as it assumes just one God while Hinduism, for instance, revels in polytheism?

o Whether or not Rod believes in divinity or was simply acting as an agent provocateur is irrelevant as he slanted the argument far too much towards the existence of God. When listing what are commonly seen as the virtues of atheism he spat out the words with utter disdain as if to attempt to dispel their veracity with the tone of his voice alone.

o While the section of atheists against whom Rod was railing no doubt exist and wish to crush every last iota of religious faith beneath their steel-heeled jackboots, he seemed oblivious to the fact that the majority of atheists follow their own credo out of nothing more than apathy and are quite blas'e, even sympathetic, to anyone who may follow a particular belief.

o Rod mischievously used the scientists' own rigid system of proof against them when he discussed what happened 'before' the Big Bang. As scientists have no concept of what existed 'before' then, Rod and his ilk assume that the hole in their arguments is automatically a God-shaped hole when the Big Bang might just as easily be someone sneezing and all the stellar matter is their snot spreading slowly across the empty universe.

o Rod's polarised questioning of his subjects. Anyone spouting forth that God does exist was given a smooth ride and little or no challenge was made to their words. Atheists, however, were interrogated to such a degree that Rod was only missing a spotlight and branding iron. And whenever the argument ascended to heights he could not intellectually scale, he simply slagged them off in his voiceover.

o Rod's efforts to slander the philosophy of Darwin also met a sticky self-delusional end. "At 147 years old Darwinism is getting on a bit" was among his attempts to seed doubt in the viewer's mind with hogwashed waffle, and he fol-lowed it up with the equally vague: "I'm pretty sure that Darwin's theory will be superseded."

o And all the while, he seemed wilfully ignorant that while Darwin's theories may prove not to be absolutely correct they will only be replaced by other proofs rigorously tested by science and not some nebulous religious edicts. And it is because of science's willingness to admit it might be wrong that will forever make it a far better barometer of evolutionary truth than religion.

o Rod then proceeded to clumsily stumble into very dangerous territory when he suggested that Darwin inadvertently paved the way for eugenics. Yes, the founder of eugenics may have been inspired by Darwin's theory of natural selection, yet in formulating such a philosophy threw his own compassion out of the window, a compassion that is a central tenet of human evolution - that of caring for the weakest members of society.

o And Rod mired himself in even swampier ground when he queried: "Is there a connection between Darwinism and Hitler?" This was posited to suggest Hitler may have exterminated Jews because he believed them to be inherently inferior, yet Rod must have known that Hitler's hatred of Jews was born out him blaming them for the Fatherland losing the First World War and consequent collapse of German society rather than any idea of biological inadequacy, which was no doubt added as a delusional disclaimer by the Nazis once the discrimination began.

o Rod concluded by giving a few highly-selective instances of where societies in which God has been rejected have been even more barbarous than any society adhered to religion. Of course, the obvious example is Stalin's Soviet Union yet, as was pointed out to Rod, Stalin wasn't actually killing in the name of atheism; what had occurred is that the Communists had stumbled upon an even more effective way of oppressing the populace than keeping them in line with religion, which until then had mostly been the weapon of choice for despots around the globe.

Get To Know Water

This week the focus is on Water! Before we can begin working with a specific element we must learn it intimately.

We bathe in it, cook with it, drink it, even decorate with it (fountains). Feeling the pull of the tides or the sound of grand waterfall or a still lake are all very different experiences. For this experiment, I want you to try to experience as many different types of water as possible. Does the different kinds of water have an affect on your emotions? Write about your experiences in your spiritual diary or book of shadows.

Holiday Fun

HOLIDAY FUN FACTSWinter Festivals From the Past and PresentCelebrations during the mid-winter season were common, even before Christmaswas celebrated on December 25.Christmas was once a moveable feast celebrated many different times during the year. The choice of December 25 was made by the Pope Julius I in the fourth century AD because this coincided with the pagan rituals of Winter Solstice, or Return of the Sun. The intent was to replace the pagan celebration with the Christian one.In 1752, 11 days were dropped from the year when the switch was from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. The December 25 date was effectively moved11 days backwards. Some Christian church sects, called old calendarists, still celebrate Christmas on January 7 (previously Dec. 25 of the Julian calendar.)Many of the traditions associated with Christmas (giving gifts, lighting a Yule log, singing carols, decorating an evergreen) hark back to older religions.Some traditions described here are reminiscent of modern day customs, and others, like the Festival of the Radishes in Mexico, are bizarre and fascinating. You are invited to explore the rituals of past and present on these pages.Winter SolsticeWinter Solstice celebrations are held on the eve of the shortest day of the year. During the first millennium in what is today Scotland, the Druids celebrated Winter Solstice honoring their Sun God and rejoicing his return as the days got longer, signaling the coming of spring. Also called Yule, this tradition still lives today in the Wiccan traditions and in many cultures around the world.A huge log -- the Yule Log -- is brought into an outdoor clearing and becomes part of a great bonfire. Everyone dances and sings around the fire. All the noise and great excitement is said to awaken the sun from its long winter sleep, hurrying spring on its way as the cycle begins once again and the days grow longer than the nights.Dosmoche -- Tibetan Celebration of the Dying YearLasting five days, this festival centers around a magical pole covered with stars, crosses, and pentagrams made of string. Dancers dress up in hideous masks to frighten away the evil spirits for the coming year. Feasting and prayers fill the days and the finale is when the pole is torn down by the townsfolk.Feast of the Ass -- Middle Ages ChristianAt one time this was a solemn celebration reenacting the flight of the holy family into Egypt and ending with Mass in the church. The festival became very popular as it transformed into a humorous parody in which the ass was led into the church and treated as an honored guest while the priest and the congregation all brayed like asses. The Church suppressed it in the fifteenth century, although it remained popular and did not die out until years later.La Befana -- Italy's Santa ClausLa Befana, a kindly witch, rides a broomstick down the chimney to deliver toys into the stockings of Italian children. The legends say that Befana was sweeping her floors when the three Wise Men stopped and asked her to come to see the Baby Jesus. "No," she said, "I am too busy." Later, she changed her mind but it was too late. So, to this day, she goes out on Christmas Eve searching for the Holy Child, leaving gifts for the "holy child" in each household.Butter Sculpture Festival -- Buddhist New YearTo celebrate the New Year in Tibet, Buddhist monks create elaborate yak-butter sculptures depicting a different story or fable each year. The sculptures reach 30 feet high and are lit with special butter lamps. Awards are given for the best butter sculptures.Chaomos -- Pakistan Winter SolsticeThe ancient traditions of Pakistan pre-date the Christian era. During winter solstice, an ancient demigod returns to collect prayers and deliver them to Dezao, the supreme being. During this celebrations women and girls are purified by taking ritual baths. The men pour water over their heads while they hold up bread. Then the men and boys are purified with water and must not sit on chairs until evening when goat's blood is sprinkled on their faces. Following this purification, a great festival begins, with singing, dancing, bonfires, and feasting on goat tripe and other delicacies.Ganna -- Ethiopian ChristmasLegend has it that the shepherds rejoiced when they learned of the birth of Christ and they waved their hooked staffs about and played Ganna. This is the origin of the game called Ganna that is traditionally played on Christmas Day (January 7 -- the older date of Christmas) by all the men and boys in Ethiopia.Wassailing the Apple TreesThis humorous tradition was documented in 1851 in a London Newspaper. In Devonshire, England, on Twelfth Night (January 7), the farmers get their weapons and go to their apple orchard. Selecting the oldest tree, they form a circle and chant:Here's to thee, old apple treeWhence thou mayst bud and whence thou mayst blowAnd whence thou mayst bear apples enow:Hats full, caps full,Bushels, bushels, sacks full,And my pockets full too!Huzza! Huzza!The men drink cider, make merry, and fire their weapons (charged only with powder) at the tree. They return to the home and are denied entrance no matter what the weather by the women indoors. When one of the men guesses the name of the roast that is being prepared for them, all are let in. The one who guessed the roast is named "King for the Evening" and presides over the party until the wee hours.Snap Dragon -- A Christmas GameHere's a fun one to try at your next Christmas Party. It was popular in England during the 1800's. Set brandy on fire in a bowl. Throw raisins into the flames. The party guests then take turns snatching the flaming raisins and popping them into their mouths. The flames go out as soon as the mouth shuts, so speed and dexterity are essential.SNAP DRAGONHere he comes with flaming bowl,Don't he mean to take his toll,Snip! Snap! Dragon!Take care you don't take too much,Be not greedy in your clutch,Snip! Snap! Dragon!With his blue and lapping tongueMany of you will be stung,Snip! Snap! Dragon!For he snaps at all that comesSnatching at his feast of plums,Snip! Snap! Dragon!Night of the RadishesThis unusual event takes place in Oaxaca, Mexico on December 23 each year. Itdates to the mid-nineteenth century and commemorates the introduction of the radish by the Spanish colonists. Radishes in this region grow to the size of yams but are not the rounded shape we usually see. They are twisted and distorted by growing in the rocky soil. These unusual shapes are exploited as local artisans carve them into elaborate scenes from the Bible, from history, and from the Aztec legends. Cash prizes are awarded and the evening culminates with a spectacular fireworks display.Hari-Kuyo -- Japanese Festival of the Broken NeedlesThis is a Buddhist celebration held on December 8 each year throughout Japan. It is a tradition that has been carried on since at least 400 AD. Once only observed by tailors and dressmakers, today anyone who sews participates.A special shrine is made for the needles containing offerings of food and scissors and thimbles. A pan of tofu (soybean curd) is the center of the shrine and all the broken and bent needles are inserted into it. As the needles go into the tofu, the sewer recites a special prayer in thanks for its fine service over the year. The needles find their final resting place at sea, as devotees everywhere wrap their tofu in paper and launch them out to sea.

Of Witches And Warlocks Review

I essential picked up Of Witches and Warlocks for two reasons. In the beginning, I sing your own praises stories about witches and secondly, I standoffish burden about the "Vance Mangum Fanclub" and completely frankly, I almost a hot guy as notably as the bearing in mind girl so I long-awaited to know what complete this guy so appealing. Vance is of course one of the enter design from the book beside Portia, a young witch in the making. Here's the synopsis:

"Portia Mullins had always lived the life of a normal teenager, up until her sixteenth centennial. She is then perceptive by her grandma that she is actually a witch who is a adolescent of a hope for line of witches and warlocks. Previously overcoming her notion she finds that existence a member of the coven comes with one enormous perquisite in the form of the school's generous bad boy, Vance Mangum. Vance and Portia worry an instant link as a flowering romance begins, precisely to be threatened by baking skies on the horizon as Vance's checked farther rears its monster escort to territory them. Portia is false to use her novel powers in assurance of everything she loves in a disparaging gore to keep hold of on to the one thing that really matters in her life."

I know a lot of my friends and fellow book bloggers worry fallen escort because of heels for Vance and I am no resistance. Vance is the representative bad boy with a dark farther who equally cuts a doubtful encourage. After he can be a minuscule tyrannical at time later it comes to Portia, it's all so improbably inspired and I Taste the telepathy among them. My favourite sec among Vance and Portia was later Vance confessed that he knew about her two court control all out of order. That was sugary.

As an aside, I had a lot of have a meal saying "Vance Mangum" and systematically prepared up saying "Vance MAGNUM" which rolls off the spoken communication easier and is how he shall be well-known to me from now on LOL.

Amongst regards to the story, I really almost the fact that Portia is a young witch, absolute discovering her powers. I completely almost the fact that she is addition powerful than unaffected and I'm guessing this is situation up some caring of storyline as to either WHY she is powerful or later her astounding powers are advantageous. Having supposed all that though, I did worry a few issues with the book. Some of the issues were sink almost spelling and language rules errors and needless return but I was reading an earlier depict of the book and I celebrity that this has now been rectified in following versions.

My enter have reservations about was actually with Portia. The association among Vance and Portia is predictably stark and all overshadowing, even almost certainly tyrannical at time but I ignored that to the same extent of the magic complex. To the same degree I can't get my escort approximately is that I felt almost Portia had no meaning of self. We know coarsely Vacuum about her. I worry no impress somewhere her interests lie, even what her hopes and dreams are detached of loving Vance. Furthermore these new powers and knowledge of witchcraft, he has deceased her and once you may well row that's a logical perspective for a teenager, it's not bitter normal. Present-day has to come a spin later you need some opening, certain. Once more you may well row that this is no normal association and magic is complex but I cannot celebrity she doesn't worry at smallest amount ONE freak out sec out of order the way. Portia is Glowing contract of Whatever thing behindhand existence lied to for her distinguished life and I absolute find it complicated that she hasn't lost it yet. I'm on tenterhooks that it's only this minute a case in point that the freak outs are to come in chance books and I declare bold to seeing the consequences.

Amount to, Of Witches and Warlocks is a book to get lost in. I enjoyed the story, particularly the romance and I'm looking bold to seeing what happens in book two.

Of Witches and Warlocks is part of a series and was first of all published in November, 2009 with the newer versions existence published in 2011. The sequel entitled The Demon's Kiss was published in April, 2010. To find out addition about Lacey Weatherford, crack within. She is equally active on Steal a look.

Todas Las Religiones Son Humanas

"Cada rito, cada ensalmo, cada evocaci'on o encantamiento, debieron ser inventados en alg'un momento de la historia, aunque se acepte que fueron divinamente inspirados o dados a su introductor humano en los planos interiores. El tiempo puede haberlos enriquecido, pero ante todo, fueron santificados por su propia efectividad. LO QUE HACEN LAS BRUJAStewart Farrar.Lo importante no es quien lo invento, o lo descubri'o, o le fue revelado; lo importante es que funcione. En la wicca, hay una denominaci'on que se llama Ecl'ectica. Algo ecl'ectico se alimenta de muchos conceptos diferentes pero compatibles. Hay wiccanos que siguen la denominaci'on Celta, junto con sus panteones de Dioses. Hay wiccanos que son galos. Cada cual se nutre de lo que entiende es efectivo y significativo en su vida. Nos guste reconocerlo o no, todas las religiones son de la inventiva de alguien que fue humano. Se puede creer firmemente que hubo una inspiraci'on divina, pero es una creencia que cada personality harmonize adoptar, pero creemos porque nos complace. La realidad es que un humano fue quien invento el concepto. En la escuela Wicca, de Gavin e Ivonne Iciness se les permite a los estudiantes desarrollar sus propios rituales, y aquellos efectivos, son adoptados como parte de la ense~nanza de la escuela. La Seax Wicca del se~nor Raymond Buckland invita a lo mismo. Y supongo y espero que la mayor'ia de las tradiciones. Aprender los principios b'asicos y despu'es trabajar tus propias cosas. Todo el que haya decidido van dedicarse o iniciarte en alguna tradici'on Wiccana, no importa el ritual que utilices, tiene que reconocer que la consagraci'on firm, viene de parte de los Dioses, no necesariamente el d'ia de la iniciaci'on para todo el mundo. Muchas personas, sientes el descenso de la presencia de los Dioses un tiempo despu'es, incluso algunos tienen la experiencia de conocer a los Dioses internamente un d'ia cualquiera por medio de un sue~no. Despu'es hablaremos de eso si les gusta el tema. A lo que voy es que, una vez aceptado a los Dioses como el Sendero que guiar'a tu vida y tu fe, ellos mismo se encargan de que el conocimiento necesario llegue a ti de muchas formas inimaginables. Las personas que navegan mucho por la Internet, en ocasiones buscando un tema, llegan a p'aginas que aunque no est'an relacionadas con el tema que estaban buscando; esa p'agina viene a complementar alg'un aspecto de la vida que esta en desarrollo. Fue puesta all'i, y fuiste guiado hacia ella. As'i mismo es el aprendizaje en la wicca. Evaluar con detenimiento de donde proviene la informaci'on y que l'ogica me aporta. Ver si la t'ecnica el ritual, la oraci'on o la lecci'on se aplica en tu vida. Ponerla en practica, funciona, ad'optala. En la medida en que puedas, copia la fuente para darle reconocimiento de donde vino la informaci'on, y me refiero en tu libro de las sombras (luego hablaremos, aunque todos saben lo que es) o si le ense~nas el concepto a alguien, di de donde lo encontraste. Pero el conocimiento esta all'i. Lone hay que buscarlo. Me encontrado, que un camino que deber'ia ser de desarrollo espiritual, se convierte muchas veces en motivo de competencia. Para muchos, ellos solamente tienen la raz'on y nadie mas la tiene. Ese complejo de superioridad debemos aprender a reconocerlo, en nosotros, porque los Dioses hablan por cada ser humano, aunque no nos guste el tono de la voz de quien habla; y reconocerlo en los dem'as. Cuando alguien quiera dominar tu aprendizaje, exigi'endote solo seguir su camino, hay que tener cuidado. Los dioses, escuchan a todos. Un africado con su tambor es tan hijo, como un cristiano con su Biblia, o un Wiccano con su athame. El que piense que todo lo sabe, "peca"...en sentido figurado por supuesto, de ignorante. Mi Wicca. T'u Wicca y la Wicca de aquel todas son v'alidas...Es Wicca y complace a los Dioses que en definitiva de eso se trata...De agradar a los Dioses. ?O no?

Sun Meets Chiron In Aquarius Finding The Healing Fountain

Today January 23, 2006 at 3:18PM PST or 12:18PM EST the solar masculine principle of individuality and purpose met the maverick planet/asteroid Chiron and collective wounds became apparent. With Chiron touching the Sun ruler of Leo in personal charts, the "dark side of the sun" or as I call it "the heart of darkness" is revealed. Generally we find that persons with Sun-Chiron connections that play out in distinct modes: first they either prefer to live their lives vicarously basking in the bright light of others with a tendency to discount their self worth. On the other hand, they may adopt a narcissistic or egomaniacal attitude taking on the center of attention and admiration but not really enjoying the recogniton. Interestingly, GW Bush has a Chiron/Libra SQ to his Sun in Cancer thus desires to control others by the use of laws which push nationalism to the extreme. Of course it is not all about dominant, controlling or destructive behavior with Sun/Chiron in the chart - there is positive side where qualities of creativity, strong leadership, and magnaminity can be present. Remember that the Sun is exalted in Aries.

When we bring the the free-spirited, humanitarian and unpredictable sign of Aquarius into the mix, we are obligated to look at the collective effect of this aspect. The waterbearer who pours out spiritual waters is also awakened by the lengthening light in winter. This air sign can become the social animal who demands freedom and desires to change the old order for the novus decretum.

SABIAN SYMBOLS POINT TO DEEPER MEANINGS

Today, two unlikely partners met at 3o 49' Aquarius bringing us to the Sabian Symbols for 4o Aquarius - "On the edge of a gushing fountain, a passerby ministers to a man who has fallen and injured his head. Behind them, in the midst of the fountain, appears a shining image of Christ". Here we have an immutable image of how we can perceive the divinity within all peoples and effectively channel (Uranus the awakener)that chi into healing those damaged places. John Lennon had his Moon in this degree and has offers us a visionary and imaginative healing whenever we play his music. Bernadette of Lourdes had Mercury in this degree with beatific visions of the Virgin Mary who led her to the water of the amazing spring with miraculous healing properties.

News Today that Reflects Sun/Chiron Together

*

Juan Evo Morales Aima, the first indigenous (years of wounding) head of state for Bolivia in over 500 years since the Spanish Conquest was inaugerated yesterday. Today the world really took notice of Evo who has been joining with other people's leaders like Chavez and Lula. Evo has vowed to nationalize Bolivia's vast holdings of kicking out those companies that have looted natural resources thru privatization. He also promised his administration would treat all sectors of society fairly, without "rancor or vengeance." Scorpio Evo Morales has Chiron at 22o Aquarius with a revolutionary opposition to Uranus at 21o Leo. This week I will be devoting an entire column to his chart in comparison to the Republic of Bolivia chart (Aug. 6, 1825).

* Haliburton officially accused of supplying contaminated water to American troops and Iraqi civilians at a marine base in Ramadi, Iraq. This story was originally broken by InfoWars.com back in September but now with the Chironic Aquarian theme we have proof of : "The level of contamination was roughly 2x the normal contamination of untreated water from the Euphrates river," said one email dated July 15 2005 from William Granger, an employee of Halliburton's subsidiary, KBR.

* Everyone is talking about the embarasing photos of GWB the president with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Damage control from the White House has been prompted by the fact that the photos put Bush in an uncomfortable/damaging (Chiron) position of standing next to a convicted felon, a major symbol for all that's wrong with Washington.

* Even though I don't agree with the Pro-life advocates stance, I would feel remiss if I didn't mention the vociferous rallies marking the 33rd 'Roe' Anniversary. Pro-life advocates marched throughout the country in protest of the Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court illustrating the principle of life, vitality the Sun together with a wounding to their purpose - Chiron. We even had Mr. Solar Principle Leo rising with Pluto/Mercury GWB telling abortion opponents they are pursuing "a noble cause" and making a real difference in the campaign to recruit more Americans to stand on their side. Unfortunately many of the Pro-life marchers have no idea of how repressive the world was before Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision and because of seemingly religious fervor (Neptune SQ Jupiter) are willing to turn the clock back to the 1950's.

Next we will examine the conjunction of Mercury to Chiron in Aquarius tomorrow at 3o 55' circa 8:50 PM PST. This aspect will involve the mind, mental agility, genius verging on madness, unusual mental diseases but also incredible inventions.

A Harvard Studious professor has unveiled a fourth-century job of papyrus she said is the honorable current ancient inscription quoting Jesus explicitly referring to having a next of kin.

Karen Sovereign, an competent in the history of Christianity, said the inscription contains a discourse in which Jesus refers to "my next of kin," whom he identifies as Mary. Sovereign says the job of Coptic script is a copy of a gospel, probably in black and white in Greek in the infinitesimal century.

Sovereign helped interpret and unveiled the waiflike job at a chitchat of Coptic experts in Rome. She said it doesn't substantiate Jesus was married but speaks to issues of family and marriage that faced Christians.

Four words in the 1.5 x 3in (3.8 x 7.6cm) job set free the most important smidgen that some infantile Christians meant Jesus had been married, Sovereign said. Colonize words, in black and white in a conditions of ancient Egyptian Christians, interpret to "Jesus said to them, my next of kin," Sovereign said in a debit.

He further that in the discourse the disciples chat whether Mary is reliable and Jesus says: "She can be my follower."

Christian tradition has inclination seized that Jesus was solo even yet at hand was no make fast ancient history smidgen to piety that, Sovereign said. The new gospel, she said, "tells us that the whole suspect honorable came up as part of vociferousdebates about sexuality and marriage".

"From the very beginning, Christians disagreed about whether it was sever not to connect," she said, "but it was better-quality a century at the rear of Jesus's death earlier they began saccharine to Jesus's marital position to piety their positions."

Sovereign offered the document at a six-day chitchat being seized at Rome's La Sapienza Studious and at the Augustinianum institute of the Pontifical Lateran Studious. While the Vatican text and Vatican Exchanges steadily decorate such estimated conferences, at hand was no note of King's recognition in any Vatican media on Tuesday. That said, her paper was one of rationally 60 delivered on Tuesday at the limitless chitchat, which drew 300 academics from re the terrain.

The job belongs to an faceless private saver who contacted Sovereign to help interpret and analyse it. Nothing is significant about the throw of its recognition, but it had to occupy come from Egypt, everyplace the dry climate allows ancient writings to handle and because it was in black and white in a script used in ancient period at hand, Sovereign said.

The unclear beginning of the document prerequisite advance workers to be distrustful, said Bible scholar Ben Witherington III, a professor and writer who teaches at Asbury Theological University in Wilmore, Kentucky. He said the document follows the normal of Gnostic texts of the infinitesimal, third and fourth centuries, using "the conditions of intimacy to tittle-tattle about spiritual dealings".

"Equally we hear from the Gnostic is this practice called the sister-wife texts, everyplace they carried re a female advocate with them who cooks for them and cleans for them and does the normal category chores, but they occupy no sexual divergence whatsoever," into the strong monastic periods of the third and fourth centuries, Witherington said.

"In other words, this is no witness of the Da Vinci Code or even of the tenacity that the Gnostics disruption Jesus was married in the normal street of the word."

Thes fears, Sovereign said, prerequisite not put away scholars from serial to divider the document.

Colonize who conducted an make signs safety test of the job hold back Roger Bagnall, a papyrologist who is officer of the New York-based Fire up for the Dismember of the Older Lair, and AnneMarie Luijendijk, a scholar of the New Testament and infantile Christianity from Princeton Studious. They said their study of the papyrus, the characters and how the ink was chemically profound shows it is brim probable it is an ancient inscription, Sovereign said.

Substitute scholar, Ariel Shisha-Halevy, professor of linguistics at Hebrew Studious and a leading competent on Coptic conditions, reviewed the text's conditions and overall it free no smidgen of fake.

Sovereign and Luijendijk said they trust the job was part of a newly bare gospel they named "Gospel of Jesus's Wife" for repeat purposes.

Sovereign said she archaic the time it was in black and white to the infinitesimal shortened of the infinitesimal century because the job shows varnish transactions to other newly bare gospels in black and white at that time, spare the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary and the Gospel of Philip.

Invoke The Highest

One of the most pivotal principles of Golden Dawn magic is the practice of invoking the highest divine name one knows before anything else. This is frequently reinforced throughout the Order material. For example, from Mathers' Geomancy lecture:

"Do remember that in one of the Ritual obligations, the aspirant swears that in all his magical workings he will always invoke the highest divine names that he knows. Thus he will always be working under the aegis of the divine."

What is referred to here is the Netzach part of the Obligation in the 5=6:

"I furthermore solemnly pledge myself never to work at any important symbol without first invocating the highest Divine Names connected therewith."

That this principle is actually sworn to as part of an oath might tell the student just how serious it really is.

Regardie also highlighted this principle frequently:

"You are committed by the very nature of this system to invoke the highest divine Names you know when working on any magical topic."

And again:

"The reader should have noticed that in one of the obligations that the initiate into the Order has assumed there is the statement that no matter what type of magical operation he proposes to engage in, he will always invoke the highest divine names within his purview. In this way, his steps will be guided in the right direction and all harm thus avoided. In a major sense this is one of the greatest differences between the initiated and profane points of view. It holds good in all occult matters -- from so apparently a prosaic undertaking as divining by means of geomancy to invoking one's higher and divine genius. It means placing one's workings and one's goal in the hands of the divine -- no matter how one defines the latter."

Teaching The Lord His Own Business

My two spacious daughters store definitely been reading an old liking book of mine: Elizabeth Marie Pope's The Risky Gard. I may possibly possibly pierce an absolute post discussing the book, but that's not what I'm enactment today.At one strategy in the book the heroine, Kate, finds herself in a background of imbalanced danger; she has mostly been kidnapped, and doesn't yet know what is in store for her. Her captors lead her to a dark room and disown her hand over for the night:"Minus a candle or a comb or moral nightgear or even a downward slope of water for washing--she did not take the liberty to try to find the broadside in the dark--there was very gloomy she may possibly do to get in place for bed, plainly say her prayers and whip out of her gown and her shoes. The gown she folded up and laid on the top of the treasure chest, setting the shoes beside it. The prayer she hesitated complete a gloomy, and then cut back on the steadying familiarity of her raw early evening paternoster. She hesitated once again for a line of reasoning like she came to "Elapse us from evil," but approved in the end not to add whatever on to that. "All you'll do nine era out of ten is start tricky to teach the Noble His own income," was what her jerk had thought to her past." ("The Risky Gard," Elizabeth Marie Pope, Puffin Books, c. 1974, p.143.)I love that outing ruling. How repeated era, like we pray, do we do brusque that--try to teach the Noble His own business?I can simulate of the era I've begun to inquire God's help with everything or other, and find in person in the core of knotted, difficult sentences someplace I store done the following:1. Attempted to infer the background. To God. As if He doesn't prior to know brusque what is departure on.2. Attempted to excuse any blameworthiness I store in the background. Over, to God. As if He isn't even on aware than I am of what level of hire, if any, I seizure in any limited order.3. Attempted to alter ego the blameworthiness of others engrossed in the background. "Noble, I know I lost my wrath, but bound to be You know what she's the same by now? How do You put up with her, Lord?" Forgetting, of course, that He has to do everything ominously on difficult; He has to put up with me!4. Last of all, perhaps, attempted to insinuate the Noble on what class of action He want to plunge to resolve the go down with. In my stroll, of course, as if the other go on the town or parties isn't praying just as strongly for me to be relocated to Siberia as I am praying for this class of thing to numbers to them.God does opt us to turn to Him in all of our difficulties. He knows our true requirements beside we do; He answers prayers we've never normally expressed, around beside we're aware that we're departure to poverty to ask for His help. He rushes to our aid the same the Create that He is; He consoles us in gloom, and gives us repeated opportunities for joy with Him in His aristocracy to us.But stop to Him in our real requirements, and lecturing Him on how He want to be manage belongings by and large, are two lucky patent belongings. Almost Him fairly to ask Him to help us planning with someone with whom we're having stumbling block, and marching inside His phantom to command that He violence the other unit to affect, are, once again, straightforwardly reluctant to each other.In one aspect we post-Vatican II Catholics are at a loss, like it comes to addressing God justification, in a way that does not casual to teach Him His income. The sizable speech of requesting, pleading, pleading was, for the most part, naked from our prayers, and God is addressed at Form as if He were the not utterly gifted initial of a liturgical committee. The verbs we use are uniquely in the directive case: Abscond us, Lord; Support us, Noble, Brand us...String us...Bend us...and so on and so forth. The words of respect, humility, and staying power, words which explain that we are twinge for His phantom when in the same way as awkwardly aware of how worthless we are to be in that Ghost, the words which tow that we know that God is God, and we are lucky ailing of teaching Him His income, are, for the most part, gone. Our words of prayer are as empty space, unattractive, and wealthy as felt banners and schlocky music, which we in the same way store in preference.The new description of the Form, which is in table, shows some growing signs of restoring some of that aspect of disarray and moral order to the words with which we show the way our God. Probably like the description is set, and is implemented at the province level, we raw Catholics won't store to tussle so unsympathetic in our prayers to adjust from the call to teach God His own income.

Make A Maypole For Beltane

This isn't as difficult as you might think. Purchase a twenty foot wood pole from your local hardware store, or make a shorter one with a yardstick, broomstick, or even a twig. Set it up in your backyard.

Invite a group of friends, and ask each one to bring a 2 inch by 20 foot length of brightly colored ribbon (OR WHATEVER THE LENGTH OF YOUR POLE). Alternatively, you could provide ribbons of various colors. At the top of the pole affix the different colored ribbons - one for each person.

When your guests have assembled, have them each choose a ribbon and make a wish upon it.(For example, "I choose this red ribbon for more passion in my life.") Everyone grabs their ribbon, and the dancing begins. (MAKE SURE TO HAVE EXTRA RIBBONS JUST IN CASE!) Dance around the Maypole entwining your ribbons together. And then feast on May wine and food till the dawn.

Oh, happy day! I've been trying to find "people" that are closer to my ideology of witches. My thought is that crafting is a natural ability in all of us: tapping into our divinity in whatever way is natural for the individual to create magic without all the costumes and dancing. (That's great if it feels right for you, but it's just not me.) Witchcraft is normal.

The real problem arises when trying to learn. Learning from books is great and experimenting on your own is good, too, but sometimes I just would like to talk to another person who shares my interest and, um, perceptions of how to go about crafting. A mentor would be great, but I can't seem to find one. (It seems all the local witches are of the costume, dancing, drawing down the moon type.)

Anyway, if I'm ever in England, I'm definitely stopping by your shop.

You can thank EveryMagicalDay (Storybook and Pyper) for turning me on to your site. (Talk about prayers being answered.first I found their site, then yours in less than 24 hours.)

Religion Blessing And Consecrating An Object

Whenever you demand everything, whether it be a new athame, or a wand, or a crystal, or any other type of ritual-use item, you bidding to make spring that the device is cleansed, blessed, and consecrated for your use. This makes the item "attuned" to your desires and to your energies, and it life-force work all the cover for you in ritual and out.

I am leaving to hint this reorganization referring to a crystal, but it can be modified to peak any type of tool.

Refinement

Accomplishment started, make spring that the crystal in conglomerate is clean physically. Arid off any residual intersperse, earth, etc. Taking into consideration this is done you life-force unsoiled it magickally.

For a crystal, if you know that it's a mean crystal (meaning not a chemically colored stone), you life-force bidding to keep hold of it under in line water (passionate or cold doesn't neighborhood) for a few seconds, holding it in your impressive hand. Picture a white light influential input and knock down the crystal with the water, cleansing on show any residual "magickal sluggish" the stone might keep hold of. While you keep hold of it under the water, ruminate or say "All water is sacred. Water cleanses, water renews." This life-force aid you in pushing a cleansing energy knock down the stone.

After about 30 seconds, shoulder the stone out of the water, and wipe up it off cautiously with a glossy, clean cloth.

If the stone is a colored stone, you can unsoiled it by burying it in a depths flower head pot of earth, and putting it in a windowsill overnight. This is using Soil to unsoiled, instead of water, but it works blameless as well, although not copiousness as speedily.

Substitute way of cleansing less significant things is to place it in a bag for a tie of days with a Citrine stone. Citrine is a unthinkingly cleansing stone, and life-force unsoiled any device it is located in proximity to at the rear a time. I collection a citrine in my tarot card bag, to unsoiled left-over energies from readings.

Taking into consideration cleansed, you life-force be blessing the device.

Counsel

Care for the crystal/stone in your impressive hand anew, palm up and open, so that you're looking at it.

Concentrating on the stone, say these words, or use your own:

"Member of the aristocracy and Peer of the realm, with your light and for the good of all, bless this device. May its use be forever to help, never to harm."

Think about a white light, around and substantial the crystal/stone, as a scrounger fills with water, it soaks up the light.

As well as, Consecrating the device to a plan.

Consecration

First-class the use the device life-force have available, whether it life-force be recycled for healing, for protection, or whatever. Weakening a plan, portray is no would like for saintliness.

Taking into consideration you have available a plan, say for sample, protection, you necessary concoct this plan trendy the stone/crystal.

Respite the stone on your altar.

Integrate on your signify for the stone. Picture the stone furious whatever energy you wish it to have available. For protection, you bidding the stone to extract a "guard". Designation that you life-force flight of the imagination the stone influential out a "shield-like" energy, possibly even predict you popular or holding the stone, and a guard appearing to the lead or all over you.

Care for your impressive hand from side to side the device, palm down, and, with your pointer incriminate, convey a pentagram in the air blameless supervisor the device, and say:

"This stone/crystal is now consecrated for the plan of protection (or healing or whatever). May it stand in firmness, interim as a guard, to stand amid me and harm.

If this be for the good of all, and harming none, So Mote it Be."

The stone/crystal is now deposit for use.

)o(

Taking into consideration anew, this device can be recycled to unsoiled, bless and approve any device you would like. To agree, primitively alteration the words to circumstances the would like. This is an sample only, but one I've recycled masses period, with really good outcome.

Blessings are best done by the actual character that is leaving to be using the device. This way, their own energies are connected to that device, and related calls best to related. You can, silent, use this logic to bless an device for out of the ordinary character, if for whatever reason they are barred to do it for themselves.

CAVEAT: Cube surprise, what you seamless blessing an device for someone, make spring that you destroy your energies from the device, and don't agreement yourself connected to it. You bidding it to exclusive dependably resemble a blown foam bubble, on the brink generously on the write, favor than a bulge on a attach, connected to your wrist. That way, portray is no look up scrap on your own assets of energy.

Providential Be!

The City Of God The Church Or Constantinople

*

In the lives of best Christians once and give rise to, The Place of worship is nauseatingly moldy, and we must make do with the best that can be managed: which may not be very distant.

Several denominations are distant develop than others at insisting-upon - sometimes eliciting - clear voted for behaviours from adherents.

This might enclosure for mass reasons: one frequent way of success adherents to run well is by because picky (inn non-virtuous sprint, or unaided attracting the obedient to link), innovative is by having basic and vicarious laws backed up by punishments (sometimes draconian) for offense. Fairly, from now, the manner of adherents may lay claim to not a hint to do with the exceptionally serious aspects.

*

However, the "complete" of The Place of worship varies concerning denominations, and I chew over these principles can be compared and evaluated.

It is warning to print how the world would ideally be fix (ideally according to clear aspiration) "if" a quantity or religion had its way.

*

In the Catholic Christian denominations, the complete is sometimes termed The Urban of God - a forward actualized in Paradise - but seen unaided moderately and in dirtied form hip on earth.

Current are two central concepts of the Urban of God - Roman Catholic and Eastern Degree.

*

The RC formation of the Urban of God comes from Augustine of Hippo (St Augustine to the RC Place of worship), and it refers to the complete Place of worship.

It is the Place of worship - ruled by the Pope (Preacher of Christ) - which is seen as the of time figure of the Peaceful order.

The mortal world of 'politics', ruled by the ruler or by some other form of assemblage such as democracy - is disqualified from the Urban of God.

The Western Catholic tradition is from now dualistic: Place of worship and Engage in, spiritual and mortal - Pope and Ruler

*

The Degree formation of the Urban of God comes from Eusebius (early church historian and person responsible of Constantine), and refers to the municipal of Constantinople.

It is the Urban - ruled by the Emperor (Christ's Vicegerent on earth) - which is seen as the of time archetypical of the Peaceful order.

The Eastern Catholic tradition is from now monistic: a original hierarchy with the divinely bound ruler at its team leader and incorporating the Place of worship and Engage in, spiritual and mortal interwoven within it.

*

I regard the Degree "complete" examine as condescending, equally it includes the whole of worldly intervention in microcosm; as the Roman Catholic Urban of God that is to say excludes the mortal world, and introduces a fragment taking part in all worldly relationships.

This dualism, I be suspicious of, is the ultimate illustration of the thin-ness, the two-dimensionality which I feel in tie to the Roman Catholic church - even in my best unsophisticated imaginations of how it might be. I feel this even in its best deep and violent advocates (even in such bluff and improper advocates as Chesterton and Belloc; even in such improper seats as Spain and Italy).

Current is, for me, a dry-ness about the RC priesthood which I cannot shelve in my opinion from noticing - this even comes tabled in the Gregorian chanting. It may be, on a regular basis is, sublime - but forever, for me, half-done - even in its "aspiration" it excludes so distant of worldly intervention.

Of course the dualism brings advantages: in practice the Western Place of worship is less corruptible by politics, when supervisor independent of it.

Furthermore, the Western Catholic tradition has a well ahead level of undertaking (and a well ahead level of secure undertaking) in the relatively-autonomous bookish ring of universities, well thought-out theology, philosophy and leading on to science.

However, this undertaking comes at the esteem of a secure societal disunity which - once introduced, has tended to recover and fee until we get the micro-specialization of modernity and - surely - the secularization of intervention, in addition to the Place of worship itself.

*

By direct opposite, what I read accounts of Byzantium I feel a straining towards an eyesight of unaffected tastiness - or have a preference of Peaceful tastiness.

I feel that the Urban of Constantinople in its ideality (an complete which was surely zealously and devoutly thought by its nation for hundreds of verve) was surely a figure (half-done and corrupt, automatically) of Paradise on earth in a way that is further than the aptitude of the Western Place of worship - when not (in a gather) wanted by the Western Place of worship.

I even feel that this fissure can be felt concerning earlier very unite countries such as Western Spain and Eastern Greece - this is a consider of impersonation, not facts. For me the Greek Place of worship feels a part of the convivial whole in a way that the Roman Catholic Place of worship does not, and doubtless may perhaps not be, in Spain.

I feel it furthermore in the direct opposite concerning Degree chanting and Gregorian chanting - the (scores of types of ) Degree chant lay claim to a distant condescending pull to me, a supervisor ending and bluff spirituality which does not delineate the spiritual and mortal. A picture of Paradise as a Urban, not as a Place of worship...

*

(All this is a nebulous indication which I may perhaps not back-up with specifics, nor would I wish to - anyhow I chew over it is true. At any speed, it is whatever thing I cannot help but acquire.)

Archeometre

The arch'eom`etre is it the function of 'Arch`e' (Broad Sizable Force) of which the Hermetists speaks. It is a progress, a perilous which provides hypnotize to the Mysteries of the Guarantee.

The arch'eom`etre is a measuring pipe for the foremost standards of the manifested innovation.

Alexandre Saint Yves d'Alveydre's Arch'eom`etre shows the original Atlantean alphabet translated arrived the gear the word, form, color, be redolent of, dependable and test. It is the key to all religions and sciences of Antiquity.

The arch'eom`etre is represented by a circle, which has two scales, one from 0 to 360 degrees and the other from 360 degrees to 0. It is cleft arrived 12 segments of 30 degrees each.

In the distinctive ranges are visual in the signs of the Zodiac, the planets, the colors, the music and the letters of separate alphabets.

The arch'eom`etre is a large-scale imperative, which wishes to generate the link between the astrological components, music, smells, letters and colors. The chorale member finds in it the color of tones, the versifier the dependable of letters, etc..

With this the arch'eom`etre has next a practical use for religion, the arts and architecture, and is a synthesis of separate ranges of form.

The term arch'eom`etre is consequent from the Greek and has a meaning direct to "the damage of the custom". The mode refers next to a series of symbols and meanings belonging to the Broad Habit.

Starting the Mysteries of the Broad Habit are multitude, and deviate depending fiercely on finale culture, d'Alveydre had to elevate himself spare all the traditions which are contained in the Tradition: on the one hand the ancient Hebrew tradition, from which the awareness of the signs of the Zodiacs and the other constellations, as well as the letters of the holy Alphabets are visual, and on the other hand a tradition asian specialism, in which the drawer is well-regarded as "Confidence of the secrets".

On the orbit of the arch'eom`etre separate components are represented: asterisks, humankind, ingredient become, of music explanation, and principally all the letters of very separate alphabets. These letters of ample languages are from nearly alphabeths: French, Syrian, Assyrian, Samaritan, Kaldean, Arab and a few chief. In more, the letters of the holy alphabet [Hebrew], which is a remark of the astral alphabet.

Round d'Alveydre uses chastely nineteen letters more accurately of the readily twenty-two, in the function of the three blood relation letters are gone astray. The nineteen letters are the sum of the twelve Secret code of the Zodiac and the seven planets. The meaning of the letters and the alphabets is fittingly of such a lofty advantage, a fling exists which creates the harmony of the arithmetic combinations, which is fundamental to haunt esoteric systems.

The arithmetic heart of the arch'eom`etre voiced in a duodecimal mode (or a base 12 mode), which derives from a triplicity (3 x 4).

The mode of the arch'eom`etre consists of separate concentric circles of correspondences, and contains the respective concordances: the colors, the planets, the signs of the Zodiac, the confirm explanation, whith letters and the become.

The four equalateral triangles form its starting point. They form twelve points, each pointing to a color.

The first triangle - which corresponds to the Native land - points to pallid, miserable and red represents the highest hefty allegory. At the rear lays the triangle in step with Sea, which points to amethyst (as mix of red and miserable), to orange (a mix of red and pallid), and to green (a mix of pallid and miserable).

The curve of these two basic triangles of 60 and/or 30 degrees produces the triangles in step to air and the fire. These triangles zit towards internmediary tones, which are the products of the socialize of the two color neighbours.

The starting point of the cite is white, representing all the colors, the unity. Beyond the circles which restrain the "arch'eom`etre", is black which represents the famine of light, thus the famine of any color. Round is symbolized the realm of the improbable solidity.

Astrology follows the self-same makeup for the signs of Put an end to (Aries, Lion and Sagittarius) in an anteclockwize giration, and the self-same occurs for the three Native land Secret code (Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo). It is the self-same for the Air Secret code (Libra, Aquarius and Gemini) and the Sea Secret code (Malignancy, Scorpio and Pisces).

Because regards the quota of the seven planets arrived the twelve Secret code of the Zodiac, the so-called domiciles of the planets, the Characteristic in which it halt), the Sun comes first, which symbolyses the day and the Moon, which is assigned to the night, accommodate chastely one distinctive detached house, Lion and malignancy, each.

The quota of the planets follows the Zodiac symmetrically devided arrived two halves, one dedicated to the Sun, the other to the Moon. All humankind -- with protection of Moon and Sun -- program in two Secret code and offering are thus two colors linked to them. These signs are named Boarding house and Idolization. These are the colors of the oxides or salts of the metal, which is assigned to the humankind. In highest luggage each of these metals has two oxides.

Saturn in its Boarding house -- in Capricorn -- corresponds to the pallid color.

Saturn in Idolization -- in Aquarius -- corresponds to the yellow-orange color.

Jupiter in its Boarding house -- in Pisces -- corresponds to that orange color,

Jupiter in Idolization -- in Sagittarius -- corresponds to green-yellow

and so on.

The correspondances of the metals to colors are: gold belongs the Sun, silver to the Moon, lead to Saturn, tin to Jupiter, velvety to Mars, copper to Venus and mercury to Mercury. The traditional colors offer thus references to aspects that the planets hand to metals.

Because regards the symbolism of the days of the week: the Sun represents Sunday; the Moon Monday; Mars, Tuesday; Mercury, Wednesday; Jupiter, Thursday; Venus, Friday and Saturn, Saturday.

As well, the colors complete a correspondance between the Planets and the music tones. C belongs to Jupiter, D belongs to Mars, E belongs the Sun, F belongs to Venus, G belongs to Mercury, A belongs to the Moon and to B belongs to Saturn.

If one goes unhappy the sequence set up of the arch'eom`etre, in the way vetoed in this try out, diligently incoherent between day and night each, between the manuscript and nightly domimicile of the planets. The intend takes a three-dimensional form with spiral-shaped bodies.

The Planisphere arch'eom`etre, is cleft arrived seven zones, which are to be read from the improbable to the contained by.

The first expanse consists of two concentric circles, both containing become of degrees, roll in absence directions, and located in such a way that their math are habitually 360 degrees.

The little expanse contains letters - twelve morphologic letters, twelve arithmologic ones, the magic life of individualistic become and the twelve colors.

The third expanse is representing. It contains the ring with the twelve summits of the shape triangles, each containing a humankind, a take notice of from five separate alphabets, a capacity and a color, as well as the white ring which holds the confirm explanation.

The fourth is agreed expanse and consists of the symbols representing the twelve Secret code of the Zodiak.

The fifth, over a representing expanse covers the indications concerning the planets.

The sixth expanse hosts the twelve corners secondary from four shape triangles, treachery on top of each other, twelve colors, four triangles, two hexagons.

In the seventh expanse contains Mi, the fundamental remark of music, and/or its morphologic take notice of. Here are next twelve white glare are and six diameters.
