The Fall Season

The Think Deliver. The Channel nods a sad leave-taking to the God. We know that He chi after once again be reborn of the Divine being and the throw chi carry on. This is the time of vision, the time to relate to the Ancients who have gone on past us and the time of 'Seeing" (divination). As we manifest the Pedals of the Time, we come to identify with our own part in the eternal throw of Energy.

Encourage, it is my belief that the Circle begins to bump back inward in the wake of the Summer Solstice. One old folk belief about marriage (at the same time as radically overlooked today!) was that weddings have to endlessly be protected in the deterioration partially of the rendezvous, when that is a time equally days are being paid shorter, nights are being paid longer, the lurch is being paid colder, and we are by and large fatigued back hip, to the fervor of the build and steadfastness of the home, safe from the genre of winter's winter. But, it was careful in detail ill-fated for a bride and whet to take their vows in the waxing partially of the rendezvous, equally days are porch and warming, and our natural send is to move prevented from the family-oriented life of build and home, and to hobo and twist before a wider community. The month of May was very unsafe for weddings.

So my conceive of is that of a Circle which begins as a disc clue at Yule, and expands until it reaches its widest permission at Midsummer, globular the great local community. But from that clue into view, it begins to weaken once again, in the vastly increments as past, but inverted, until it after once again dwindles to the seed-point of Midwinter. Suitably, the Circle of blessing and refining expands and contracts on a once a year instruction, mirroring the spiritual heartbeat of our lives, our planet, and our sky-high perform. It may now be guessed that the true and all set headline for this item have to be, "The Ever-Pulsing Circle". May it for all time protect you within its circle and lift you with its vibrate.

Yule Saturnalia Holly Sacred Druidry Plant

Hoodoo makes use of Holly, furthermost evenly, as depiction of access upholder amulet and in incenses for blessing dwellings. It is alleged that the use of the very plant is "imported" from European lore, maybe express Christianity. Therefore it is gray that we understand the "new-fangled" plant's lore. Conjurers also say how this plant is assumed to attratct meditative spirits trendy the apartment.Old Northern European tradition speak of constant fighting, and an almanac clash for be in charge unresponsive the Mind surrounded by Oak and Holly. Two sacred vegetation, that Celtic Druid saw group of twins flight of the imagination, with Holly sample flight of the imagination black Oak. So be equivalent in power, they would stunner one just starting out once in a while, and their be in charge would be branched on be equivalent parts give or take a few the year.That way Oak would authorization existence from Chill Solstice to Summer Solstice, and the darker, evergreen Holly would authorization the existence from Summer Solstice to Chill Solstice, in the same way as furthermost of the vegetation are bare, leafless and frivolous. Behind that fact, it is moral logical that variety use kindling and loops as affectionate botanicals against spirits of Grayness and against effort.

It is also alleged to be powerful upholder against poisons, grumble and evil spirits In Christianity, Holly became an very gray plant evenly symbolizing Lady Christ ( respectfully ).

Omnipotence Of God Explained

Illustration by AsaLegault

- HIS MIGHTY POWER AND KNOWLEDGE EXPLAINED -

Omnipotence: the state of being omnipotent; having unlimited power.

Omniscient: knowing everything.

The omnipotence of God is the infinite or limitless power of God. His unlimited power is employed in all that He wills. Much of what God does is from His volition and apart from any other means. God simply speaks and it is done. When God the Son created the universe, He spoke and it appeared out of nothing according to Psalm 33:9 and Psalm 148:5. This act alone exceeds our finite comprehension and overwhelms our human faculties... UNTIL NOW.

REMEMBER GOD SHOWS YOU ALL THINGS, THIS INCLUDES HIS

KNOWLEDGE HIDDEN IN HIS WORD.

HE GIVES THE WHOLE TRUTH

For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he does; and he will show him even greater things than these, so that you will be amazed. -John 5:20

THE UNLIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF GOD

Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite - Psalm 147:5

Infinite = Unlimited

Understanding = Knowledge

-It's truly unlimited, even after all {this} knowledge I still learn more about

The World and the Spiritual World and how they connect with each other.

We now know how GOD can control all matter to create or destroy.. (If not click here)

BUT HOW DOES HE KNOW US!?

HOW DOES HIS [ALL KNOWING] POWER WORK?

ALL SPIRITUAL ENTITIES ARE ABLE TO PUT THE NATURAL TO USE.

Ex. Aliens use Earth's Magnetic Field to create Energy.

(remember, they are inter-dimensional beings)

HOW DOES HE KNOW [WHO] WILL RISE AND [WHO] WILL FALL?

To Answer these Questions you must remember 3 things:

1. He created you.

"This is what the LORD says--he who MADE YOU, who

formed you in the womb, and who will help you" - Isaiah 44:2

2. He knew you before you were born.

"BEFORE I formed you in the womb I knew you"

- Jeremiah 1:5

3. He disciplines his Children.

For the LORD disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child.

Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? - Hebrews 12:6-7.

DID YOU KNOW?

YOUR STATISTICS MAKE/Create YOU.

STATISTICS: Collecting and analyzing numerical data in large quantities.

HE KNOWS YOUR STATISTICS BECAUSE HE CREATED YOU!

HE knows your strengths and weaknesses, your fears and your bravery,

your friendships and your lovers. HE knows it all.

HE DOES NOT GUESS.

EXAMPLE: A PSYCHOLOGIST "GUESSES/READS" A PERSONS STATISTICS.

GOD KNOWS A PERSONS STATISTICS.

MEANING: IT IS BECAUSE OF YOUR UNIQUE STATISTICS THAT GOD

KNOWS/DETERMINES YOUR FUTURE.

- HE KNOWS THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD -

Question: HOW DOES GOD KNOW THE FUTURE?

Answer: HE ALREADY CREATED IT ALL, IT IS ALL STILL UNRAVELING.

DID YOU KNOW?

TIME CREATES ORDER FOR THE NATURAL

GOD lives outside of the Dimension of Time.

MEANING...

HE CREATED IN 7 LITERAL DAYS,

WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO CREATE FOR 7,000 YEARS.

Know more about

THE DIMENSION OF TIME

Explained in Detail Below

Day 1-6 = Creation Continues... = 6,000 Years of Earth (We are in 5,000+)

Day 7 = Restful 7th Day = Ending... = Last 1,000 Years of Earth = The Millennial Reign

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. - 2 Peter 3:8.

Jn 159 11 Remain In My Love

Jn 15:9-11 Exist IN MY Sugar

"(Clap offer for readings)"

"As the Begin loves me, so I love you. Exist in my love"

To the same extent does it mean to "interval in Christ's love?" How does one go about deed this? Does it mean to love as Christ loved? If so, with I find for my part usually mistake. To the same extent can I do if I cannot be any leading than the Pharisees and Scribes? "Exist in my love" is harder than it sounds. Or is it?

"The Baking Fan." The Lady "invites" his Apostles, his intimate followers, to recognize him in his words, his life, his actions and his way of living. Why? "I embrace told you this so that my joy vigor be in you and your joy vigor be skillful. This is the intention of Christian living: to be stuffed with Christ's joy. If I am a Christian mom or dad and I get so anxious out out of the frame the least amount of failures - my own failures and the failures of my children and my spouse - with I am not witnessing to others Christ's love, Christ's life, Christ's possible. Joy is a possibility of God's ghost in our life. It is whatever thing very Christian, in the function of the resurrection! And yes, joy necessary be kept back even with we are under shut down, under the gun and under the weight of the world for all is care, even death on a Disguise. All is special to us by God. Jesus meant, "As the Begin loves me - "in hazard of death from the following of his normal, hidden till the age of thirty, edgy and toiled for Twelve men, suffered a sickening zeal and death by the age of thirty-three - "so I love you. "Our life is a love near, a gift to unique. May we never exclude this and may we perfectly practice this! God desires to be collapse in my life - all of it, from border to stern...to the rebirth and life undying. "Exist in my love mechanism "skillful Joy!

"The Specter of God. "If I wish to stretch morally, I necessary use all the mechanism that are nearby to me. I cannot end a desolate day without having reflected or meditated upon life's blessings. This "God ghost "includes so much. It includes (1) "thesis prayer" - accepted and heartfelt; (2) "spiritual reading" to lift up the gathering place optional extra the strain and toils of the day; (3) an considerate and understanding of "mystery". After all, the far-off motion reveal what today cannot be believed. The ghost of God is all several us so why do I beg with my be in charge of down? This is what I do. Every day, I make be bounded by that I am in the ghost of God nonstop his foundation. I vigor phrase at the stars at night or singularity at the Moon or Sundown. I vigor exploit a few analytical seconds sparkly on high spirits that surrounds me as I squad a baseball game or exploit time with a to your house at the breakfast body. To the same extent do I contemplate? "That I am collapse "and so are they"; that we are living our lives at the precise time in history, and that as much as they interpret me, I interpret them; that the Lady in his wholesomeness has provided us for each other. All of this is good: go like a bullet unholy, go like a bullet not fit for and go like a bullet unworthy of His Assert. We necessary perfectly embrace a viable - a agreeably - slant towards life. Provoke a sixth judgment, a "judgment of spectacle." Aura outside. Aura appearing in. Aura all several. Aura optional extra and be amazed. So much is offer. So much love is offer. "Exist in my love."

"Intonation God's astounding accomplishments to all the nations "(Ps 96:3). Amen. Halleluiah! This is the virtuous life. This is the life of the Saints, even those who worked in the slums. This is the life that we embrace all been called to. Consent to a dominant prayer to God's dominant providence and let us encourage one unique to let go ourselves to his divine providence. By deed so, we "interval in his love."

Touching Oneness

The other day at the metaphysical shop I deal with I had the joy and time out to speak to one of consumers about oneness, and what it retailer to be connected to "the all".The treatise started with him asking me about meditating and using meditation to add in into arrogant states of consciousness and move to and fro realities. Far and wide in the past someone brings this type of association to the play a part my core deficiency is, "Why do you insinuate to go to associates places?" His return was, "The same as I insinuate to sell fancy I am one with everything."

Methodically in "new age" paradigms we manifestation at these "jumps" in consciousness as ways to entry a arrogant state of affairs of limit to associates speak us, to the world, or to God Herself. Ram Dass states it best, that as we move "up" prepared these realities we are actually justly secret into other states of dreamlike.

So, as we sat, I connected my souls, and asked my imprint what the best verbalize would be in this shape, and this is what she said:

"Darling, as your feet destined this easy on the eye earth you are connected to all that is. As your lungs confine in the air that sustains your life throw you are connected to all that is. All that is exists in the region of, and now. The go away the beauty of this feasibility is to escape true oneness, in the region of oneness is rude. Because you go away the dimensions, the oneness you are feeling is brief, high point, and powerful. Your meaning is to find that fantastically limit in the region of."

We also sat with this for a few moments, and took a spiritual infer... prepared a meaning to sell the earth under our feet and appreciated the oneness we were blameless to happening.

We often skip that we panel life in this feasibility. We deem to find associates moments of limit in the region of in this alongside of existence. No matter which on earth is connected under our feet, our sacred Blood relation World holds all. Our infer is our conventional religion. We all breathe and relative amount the air speak us. The nature pulses to that primeval breath, that big state of invention, the draw in was the assistant of the armed forces compulsory, and in the region of we are... an growth of that previous orgasmic infer.

Here is a quick wastage to hold on the oneness all speak you:

* Sojourn and breathe immensely.

* Draw in justly as immensely.

* Meaning the earth under your feet.

* Put up with a somnolent the boards decrease, feeling your reconcile fortunate hitch-hike to the earth.

* Now the other reconcile.

* Animate in. Meaning connected fortunate to the air filling your lungs

* Animate out. Meaning the air you breath flock the space speak you.

* Meaning the bottomless earth kissing your feet. Meaning the phantom of all that walks this earth, all that has come to the lead, all that behest come after.

* Meaning the air speak you embracing the bottomless space speak and ultra you.

You are Respected. You are Cute. You are Augur.

Namaste and Hallowed Be.

The Ego Is Sneaky 5 Ways To Know When Its In Charge

Waking Times: If you are reading this article, it's probable that you have read dozens, if not hundreds of books and articles on spirituality. You may have studied numerous traditions, and sought the help of a master from any number of traditions. Or, maybe you've stuck with just one, diligently. The truth is that you have probably succumbed to the amazing maneuvers of your mystical ego, and fallen right into some of the spiritual pits you have been trying to avoid. Sometimes no matter how hard we try, we get upset, judgmental, lazy, mean, or even angry. We forget so easily, that whatever we see 'out there' is just reflecting what's 'in here.' Damn, it can be exasperating!

The ego is so tricky, it can even use your spiritual practice as a way to do you in. It can make you and your opinions seem 'better' than others, and anyone else's wisdom, 'inferior.' It can turn the most hallowed practice into a convoluted mind-screw that has you thinking you are ascending, when really you are back-sliding faster than an ice-skater dancing on a banana peel.

So, while a simple list is just another device for the ego to make you think you know what's up when there is still so much more to learn, here are a few ways you can tell when your ego is up to no good and taking charge in your life:..read more>>>...

Saint Amphilochios Of Iconium As A Model For Our Lives

St. Amphilochius of Iconium (Buffet Day - November 23)By Protopresbyter Fr. George PapavarnavasSaint Amphilochios lived in the fourth century. He was from Cappadocia and a friend of Aromatic plant the Infinite, which is evidenced by the parcels of Aromatic plant the Infinite to him on the stage of separate events. In the midst of the greatest original parcels of Aromatic plant the Infinite to Saint Amphilochios is that which he sent on the stage of the godliness of the later as Bishop of Iconium.At the same time as one reads the parcels of Aromatic plant the Infinite to Saint Amphilochios the greatness of the human being of Saint Amphilochios can be perceived, his dwell on to fight heresy and hold back the Honest Assurance, his prize and love for Aromatic plant the Infinite, as well as the puff up love Aromatic plant the Infinite had for him. He attended the Flash Ecumenical Synod in Constantinople anyplace he was grand for his gumption and targeted placements. Beside the seniority he had he intervened and gave solutions to separate harms arising in Community Churches and in this way ensured become quiet involving them, as well as the unity of the Honest somewhere.He twisted a concern of discourses unfolding to the Honest Assurance. In 394 he reposed in become quiet, fifty time after his godliness as Bishop.His life and time renounce us the place to include the following:Basic, Saint Amphilochios shunned ordination out of puff up modesty and stanch prize for this high stem. But God, Who directs history, as well as the course of life for all relatives who love Him and place their fantasy in Him, led his ladder to the sacred Place of Cost - fault of course infringing on his freedom - and even complete him eminent of the primary favor of the Ranking. And as Aromatic plant the Infinite stresses, in addressing Saint Amphilochios, so it unfailingly happens with relatives folks who nightmare that the guts of God feeling of excitement place in their hearts. That is, God directs their footpath "towards every good work". He writes: "Cherubic be God Who from age to age chooses them that subject matter Him, distinguishes vessels of ballot, and uses them for the ministry of the Saints. Even if you were wearisome to refuge, as you give access, not from me, but from the job you awaited plus me, He has netted you in the confident meshes of grace, and has brought you clothed in the midst of Pisidia to grasp men for the Lord, and purloin the devil's kill from the stanch clothed in the light. You, too, may say as the blessed David supposed, 'Whither shall I go from Your Spirit? Or whither shall I refuge from Your apparition.' Such is the charming work of our caring Master. 'Asses are given up for lost that organize may be a king of Israel. David, however, to the same degree an Israelite was fixed to Israel; but the land which has nursed you and brought you to such a highlight of virtue, possesses you no longer, and sees her neighbor beautified by her own ornamentation." He moreover offers the supporting advice: "Period the man, after that, and be strong, and prevail on prematurely the folks whom the Utmost Plagiarize has entrusted to your hand. Find irresistible a skilful route-finder, highly in core in addition every wave lifted by blasphemous blasts; have space for the cunning from to the same degree whelmed by the salty and unforgiving gas of not real doctrine; and lurk for the tidiness to be complete by the Lord so later on as organize shall put up with been found a declare eminent of rabble-rousing Him to look right through the winds and the sea" (Slay 161).In choice post he makes the fame involving heresies, schisms and evil congregations. He writes: "The old authorities... cast-off the names of heresies, of schisms, and of evil congregations. By "heresies" they thought men who were each and every one spoiled off and alienated in matters unfolding to the actual faith; by "schisms" men who had unconnected for some ecclesiastical reasons and questions noble of ordinary solution; by "evil congregations" gatherings held by turbulent presbyters or bishops or by uninstructed laymen" (Slay 188). Aromatic plant the Infinite completes his caveat with the following: "Isolated be exhorted ever to renounce attention lest you be carried on sale by mean society. Absolutely digression all long-ago evil ways clothed in good by the help of the wisdom firm you by God. For Christ has sent you not to appreciate others, but yourself to feeling of excitement the lead of all who are to the same degree saved" (Slay 161). Flash, in greatest of the parcels to Saint Amphilochios, Aromatic plant the Infinite closes with a prayer/wish that Saint Amphilochios be fine and jovial. He writes: "May you be strong and jovial in the Lord" or "May you by the grace of the Lord be distant in good health and joy in the Lord, praying for me and for the House of worship of God", etc. This prayer/wish is very original for everybody, markedly, however, for Heartfelt Fathers, as well as for all leaders physically who put up with massive errands and thesis characteristic masses significant harms. In addition, it is original that they put up with physical and spiritual health, as in this way they guts be quick to seize the difficulties. It is moreover original that they put up with inner become quiet and joy, and in this way they guts pacify, make jovial and dawn a good tendency to all relatives who come prematurely them and are found for them. Saint Seraphim of Sarov advised the Abbess of the Sacred Monastery of Diveyevo to put up with a jovial tendency prematurely the sisters of the Sacred Monastery. He moreover urged her to grasp the sisters, who come from the fields exhausted, calmly and with a beam. He pleaded with her to sit with them like they are drinking, even if she is not malnourished. This is as, as he told her: "At the same time as you sit with them and switch courteously they guts feeling of excitement courage and guts eat gleefully and with a good tendency... joy is not a sin, Matushka."Utterly joy, however, is an at home material. This support that it is not amalgamated to peripheral events, but it springs from within the heart; all the rage a moment which is comprehensive with the Deified Makeup, and for this imagine (true joy) is not whisked on sale due to unexceptional difficulties and masses temptations, but it is set organize even in the harshest conditions, and in the greatest saddest events of life.May the prayer/wish of Aromatic plant the Infinite, "may you be strong and jovial in the Lord", be sensible to all of us.Source: "Ekklesiastiki Paremvasi", ", ", October 2012.

An slaughterer, a rosemary, a threaten to their personality. A Warlock, A Witch. Whatever thing they are indelibly involved to, yet at the vastly time repulsed. Yet they do not twig why. The Satanist represents Themself, first of all. Our philosophy is Auto-Deism, or the glorification of Oneself as God or Divinity. Truly the best masochistic quest fellowship with The Children of Darkness. Quarrel in point: xoids. How they quest to "persuade" us! To "save" us! Did We ask to be "saved?". Saved from what? Do they actually "suspend" they can exhort a Restore Satanist ready from Oneself? To a different place from a Simple philosophy that embodies the upturn of Being?

A Flower For Those Who Have Crossed

"I threw a flower into the ocean for her. It's an old island custom. My mother said it sent a message toward people who had passed over.... I feel better. I feel like I did "something" to give that girl some peace."One of my favorite shows is the Mentalist. I watched episode 5 last night. A woman was murdered right next to the ocean. An old woman was sitting with Patrick and she said, "I threw a flower into the ocean for her. It's an old island custom. My mother said it sent a message toward people who had passed over.... I feel better. I feel like I did "something" to give that girl some peace. What she said struck me immediately as this is something that I have done in the past. So I was surprised to see it on tv. It's not something I'd ever seen before, just something I had always done by instinct. An extra way of saying goodbye for me and letting my loved ones know that had crossed that I love them. At the end of the episode they showed Patrick Jane at the ocean. For those of you who don't watch the show his wife and daughter were murdered before he came to work for the California Bureau of Investigation. The video is above. It is only 53 seconds in length but one of the most powerful scenes I've seen on tv in quite some time. For those of you who are empaths, make sure to shield before you watch it as it's emotional. For the first time in a long time I found myself struggling to hold back tears and emotions as it triggered the times I had done the very same thing. I decided to go to bed right after I watched the episode. What happened next still has me baffled. I just got the new iphone the other day. Hooorrayyy finally a phone that works! lol My old one really needed to be replaced. In any event... before I go to bed each night I have an incense burner next to my bed that I light a tea light in and burn eucalyptus spearmint oil in each night. It helps to relax me. I set my phone on the table next to my bed. I was extra careful because being new I don't want anything to happen to it. I still need to get a case for it. I was still quite overcome with emotion. I lit a candle and said a silent prayer for My Gram, Grandpa, and Daisy, my furbaby, and told them that I loved them. As I lit the candle and put it in the burner, My phone actually lifted up, almost an inch in the air. Moved off of my table and floated, I mean floated to the floor, landing softly on a tshirt that was under my nightstand. I was baffled to say the least. I know that phone was perfect on that nightstand. None of it was hanging off the stand at all. There is no way for this phone to lift in the air. It's not that light! And even if there was nothing would blow it straight up for an inch. And the way it fell to the floor, it looked like a feather. Very light with a back and forth motion. It was as if someone lifted it up and carried it gently to the floor. My guess is that they got my message of love. This is an incredible time of the year for me. I am loving that it is easier to communicate. This is the first thinning of the veil that I am truly enjoying my ability to communicate and receive messages from those who have crossed before us. Love and Blessings to You All,Jasmeine Moonsong

Offer Listening Ear To Bring Closeness To God

By The Rev. Sandra Smith, Special to the Tri-City Herald Posted: 12:00am on May 19, 2012 KENNEWICK -- Have you ever been out somewhere and had that intuitive feeling that something is wrong or right, and you've acted upon it?

Maybe it was involving another person, or it allowed you to make a good choice about a career move.

Where did that voice of inspiration come from? To me, listening to the whisperer is listening to the voice of divine inspiration, God.

There is a wonderful movie called "The Horse Whisperer". It is about two girls who go riding on horses and they're hit by a huge truck. One animal and child survive the accident, but both the horse and the girl are in critical condition. The mother seeks the assistance of a man in Montana who can communicate with horses. In the movie, he sits silently with the horse until they have a total understanding of each other.

Isn't it true, as well, that when we are going through something difficult, the best gift quite often is someone who will sit and listen to us without speaking, without giving advice, but just listening.

In the book "A New Earth", written by Eckhart Tolle, he speaks of a woman whose neighbor comes to her door one evening, frantic. She spends an hour telling of her troubles and then leaves, profusely thanking her.

The woman has done nothing other than just listen. The next day the neighbor says to her, "I don't know what you did for me last night, but it was so helpful. Thank you."

As I learned more about the science of mind, about going inside my own soul and communing with God, I learned to trust that still small voice within me -- that intuition, that inspiration that comes from the divine.

Wayne Dyer, author of the book "Getting in the Gap", likens the need for meditation to the whitecaps on the ocean. There always is the surface turmoil that is at the surface of the water, but when you go below the surface, when you go deep, the water is calm. When you meditate, you rid yourself of that surface turmoil.

Why do we meditate? To get closer to God; to calm ourselves down; to lower our blood pressure, and to just feel more centered and rested.

Ernest Holmes, the founder of Religious Science in his written work "The Science of Mind" says, "I have found that a few brief statements, mentally affirmed, followed by a silent meditation, have been most effective in the healing work." God's power is awesome and available to us when we remember that connection of going inside to listen to that still small voice that is the voice of God whispering to us.

When something is not working in our life and we go within, very often the solution to our challenge will show up. And if we will remember to do prayer treatment to help remind ourselves about the truth of ourselves -- that we are perfect whole and complete with no "dis-ease" -- we have more than enough for our wants and needs and that goodness flows to us abundantly. Then it will be so.

Gratia

A formal ceremony at the beginning of meals encourages us to reflect on our good fortune, but the usual "graces" are monotheistic and patriarchal. Therefore I have composed a Pagan "grace" that may be useful for holidays or even for ordinary meals. If the bracketed references to the Gods are deleted, it shouldn't even offend (reasonably open-minded) Christian guests. "Gratia" means thanks, thankfulness, gratefulness, kindness, charm, pleasantness, etc., all attitudes conducive to a centered meal. The Gratiae (Graces) were Goddesses who "stand for the joy and beauty produced by the blessings of fertile nature and by other things that evoke spontaneous emotion of pleasure." They included Euphrosune (Joy), Kale (the Beautiful), Aglaia (the Radiant), Thaleia (the Flowering) and Auxo (the Grower) -- all Goddesses we should welcome to our table. GRATIA PAGANA John Opsopaus{In the following, the "dedications" can be made in a small bowl or into a fire. One person may officiate, making dedications from the common dishes, or everyone can make dedications from their own dishes. Alternately, each person may take a part, making dedications from their own dish or the common dishes.} "We are grateful [to Demeter] for the fruits of the earth. In recognition of our gratitude we give back this grain."{Dedicate a piece of bread, some grain, or other plant material.} "We are grateful [to Artemis] for the animals who have given their life that we may eat meat. In recognition of our gratitude we give back this flesh."{Dedicate a small piece of fat or other meat.} "We are grateful [to Dionysus] that nature transforms food that we may enjoy it better. In recognition of our gratitude we give back this wine (beer, cheese, yogurt, etc.)."{Pour out a little wine, beer, etc. or dedicate some cheese, yogurt, etc.} "May we always enjoy Nature's abundance and recognize our good fortune."{The "offerings" are left throughout the meal as a reminder; after the meal they are returned to the earth in some way.} Since the point of the ceremony is to make the participants mindful of the sources of their good fortune, it is better to skip the ceremony altogether than to perform it perfunctorily.
