Polytheism Review Gods And Titans Oracle Deck

, , 0 Comments »
Polytheism Review Gods And Titans Oracle Deck
Earlier this year I was made aware of the upcoming release of a new Oracle deck: Gods and Titans. Published by Blue Angel Publications, written by Stacey Demarco and illustrated by Jimmy Maniton. It's an Australian team who have created this deck, and it's one of very few that call upon the Divine Masculine as its focus.

The blurb on the back of the pack reads:


"There was a time when Gods and Goddesses, the masculine and feminine Divine, co-existed equally and were honoured side by side. Yet with the passing of time this sacred union was lost. It's now time to restore the balance! Featuring tried and tested invocations and spells as well as a full explanation of each God's attributes and influence, this deck invites you to come back to a time when Gods were really Gods!

The masculine Divine in all its forms and glory has returned!"

I can definitely say that this deck lives up to its promise. These guys aren't the rather fluffy imitations of Gods that we may have been accustomed to, they tell it how it is. Eros is no little fat, flying baby here, Eros is, well, he's on the box cover, see for yourself! The artwork is glorious, and while some of the depictions may take you a little by surprise, they still manage to convey that primal essence encapsulated in each aspect of the masculine divine.

The descriptions are good enough to get a basic knowledge, they certainly get their point across, and to trigger a desire to know more, don't be surprised if a sudden urge to surf in the internet arises. There are some surprising omissions, Odin doesn't feature, but as they are taken from several pantheons, Greek, Celtic, Norse, Hindu, Egyptian plus others, there were always going to be some left out. However, there are also some unexpected inclusions, and you will learn new things.

I liked the idea of including a practical activity linked with each deity. Although I might not follow the invocations or spells, I've already seen pieces that I might utilise somewhere else in my own work, like making a mark on the skin with a pen and leaving it there to fade naturally - this appeals to the Hedgewitch in me.

There is a little teaser inside, a Goddess card from the yet to be published Goddesses and Sirens Oracle - created by the same team - and one which I will be eager to get my hands on to as soon as it's out. Though I might have a long wait as there's no hint of a publishing date.

All in all, if you'd like to reclaim some of that divine masculine energy in your life - this deck is certainly worth it

Love and hugs

Japanese Monsters An Interview With Richard Freeman

, , 0 Comments »
Japanese Monsters An Interview With Richard Freeman
Just recently CFZ Press published Richard Freeman's new book, THE GREAT YOKAI ENCYCLOPEDIA: AN A TO Z OF JAPANESE MONSTERS. An appropriately Godzilla-sized book (it runs at 416 pages!), YOKAI is a definitive look at the strange creatures and beasts of Japan, both in times-past and the present.

A couple of days ago I interviewed Rich about his book, which practically turned into a book-length venture too! Here you go:

NICK: Broadly speaking, what is the book about?

RICH: The book is about the monsters and ghosts of Japan. These are collectively known as Yokai and constitute a veritable supernatural menagerie. With a handful of exceptions these amazing creatures and characters are almost unknown in the west. The book looks at the cultural background that gave rise to these legends and then lists the creatures in an encyclopedic form.

NICK: What prompted you to write it - are Japanese monsters a passion of yours?

RICH: I find Japan endlessly interesting. Its folklore is fascinating, its wildlife is amazing, its culture is incredible and its women are the most beautiful in the world! Japanese monsters are just so mind bending and strange. In most folklore you can work out were the legends came from and what they mean to a certain degree, but you can do that a lot with Japanese monsters.

As to what prompted me to write it, well I was researching something totally unrelated when I stumbled upon a website called www.obakemono.com

It listed a number of yokai and I became hooked on Japanese folklore. When I realised that no one had written an English language, in depth book on yokai, I stepped up to the plate.

NICK: What are some of the more significant monsters in the book?

RICH: Some are great cultural icons like the tengu. Tengus are a man / bird hybrid. It has two basic forms, the first being a creature with the head of a bird (usually a raven or a bird of prey), a humanoid body, birds talons and birds wings. It is known as the Karasu Tengu. The second is more human like with a man's face. A greatly elongated nose is seen instead of a beak. This form is the Yamabushi Tengu.

Their nature seems contradictory: they can spread chaos and fear but are also not averse to humble humans joining in with their merrymaking. They punish the vain and the rich and can affect the human mind leaving the victim wandering the forests or mountains in a state of madness known as tengu-kakushi. This sounds very like the effect certain fairies had on humans in western legend. In the South West of England this was known as being pixie-led. The same monster would equally be called on to help lost children find their way home. This may be because in some stories the evil tengu were converted to Buddhism and become enlightened creatures.

Another iconic monster is the oni. Oni are savage daemons embodying the worst of human nature. They can have ox like, bird like, or humanoid heads. They generally have horns and wild mane of hair. They have three claws on each hand and three toes on each foot. Some have three eyes. They may be red, green, blue, white or grey in colour. They go naked except for a loin cloth. They are usually huge in size and their favoured weapon is an iron spiked club.

Oni in Japan have a roll akin to that of trolls, giants and ogres in western lore. They walk the earth spreading terror in their wake until stopped by some hero. But like daemons they also torture souls in hell. Despite this, their unpleasant image was often carved into tiles at the end of Japanese roofs. The onigawara tiles were used to keep evil spirits away from the building.

Kappa has the shell of a turtle and frog's arms and legs. It has a human like face but with a beak instead of a mouth. It has a fringe hair like that of a western monk about its head. The hair is known as okappa-atama. The top of a kappa's skull is concave and holds a magick liquid that gives the water goblin its phenomenal strength. Despite being only the size of a small child, a kappa is strong enough to overpower a horse or cow.

Kappa will often challenge an unsuspecting human to a sumo match and easily overpower them with its magical brawn. The defeated victim would have his bowels devoured after they were ripped from his anus. Animals would be killed by kappas in this way as well. Kappa was particularly fond of the shirikodama, a fabled ball said to be found near the anus. A kappa victim will usually have a distended anus and is known as a Gappadoko. Some victims, oddly, seemed to be smiling after their fatal, anal violation. Kappa would often lurk in toilets and fondle women's thighs and buttocks. Indeed Kappa were said to rape women if they got a chance.

In Japanese legend the red fox or Kitsune (Vulpes vulpes japonica) can achieve supernatural powers if it lives to fifty or one hundred years old. An ancient fox would grow a new tail with each century until it had nine. These spirit foxes could walk on their hind legs and don clothes like humans. Their powers included shape shifting and illusions. Such a state of position was known as kitsunetsuki.

Kitsune could take on the form of humans by placing a human skull on their head and preying to the constellation of Ursa Major. They would often take on the form of beautiful women and seduce men.

The Yuki-onna or snow woman is one of the best known of all yokai. She is also the most beautiful and sexually provocative. Yuki-onna is an inhumanly beautiful woman with long, silky black hair and exquisitely pale skin. She leaves no footprints in the snow when she walks and generally wears a long white robe. Sometimes she appears naked. Her skin is so pale that only her hair, face, and pubic hair show against the background of the snow.

Yuki-onna is thought to have been a woman who died in a snowstorm, possibly whilst pregnant. In some stories she manifests with a phantom baby. If a mortal holds the baby the infant sticks to their arms and becomes heavier and heavier until the victim cannot move and freezes to death.

Usually the Yuki-onna is depicted as a sort of thermal vampire sucking the heat and life out of people lost in the snow. Sometimes she will take men's body heat by making love to them.

Those are some of the most famous yokai but the more obscure ones are the strangest. Many seem to do strange things for no apparent reason. It is likely that some details of the original stories have been lost in the mists of time. Take a look at this lot for sheer weirdness.

Mouryo is a kind of giant, bipedal, flesh eating rabbit that violates graves! It will dig up human corpses and eat their livers.

Atsuuikakura is a monster of the folklore of the Ainu people of northern Hokkaido. It is a giant flesh-eating sea cucumber that grew from the undergarments of a dead girl! It holds onto driftwood and tries to overturn passing boats.

Bake-kujira is a zombie whale! This vast and bizarre ghost turned up in the seas off Shimane prefecture in Osaka with an entourage of strange fish and birds. Whalers tried to harpoon it but the weapons had no effect on the huge phantom who swam out to sea followed by its ghostly court. Bake-kujira is supposedly several times larger than a mortal whale and will attack humans out hunting whales.

The Basan is found in Ehime Prefecture, and is a giant rooster that breaths out fire. In the day it hides in bamboo groves and at night it wanders around making an odd rustling sound that wakes up villagers.

Gashadokuro is a titanic animated skeleton fifteen times taller than a man. It is composed of the bones of people who died of starvation that have changed into a huge cannibalistic spirit. It is animated by the dead's anger at their own horrid deaths. They stalk the night making a "gachi gachi" sound. If this monster catches a human it will bite their head off. The appearance of a Gashadokuro is foretold by a ringing in one's ears.

Katakiriuwa takes the form of a small pig whose body is constantly aflame. Katakiriuwa has only three legs, one ear and one eye. The phantom pig casts no shadow. It appears only on Amami Island (Okinawa). One of its favourite haunts is around the city hall in Naze.

Katakiriuwa is said to run between a person's legs and steal their soul. This activity also renders the victim's sexual organs impotent. If you see the Katakiriuwa before it can run between your legs it will disappear. Crossing the legs also deters this nasty little yokai.

Sagari is the ghost of a horse that died beneath a nettle tree. It manifests as a disembodied horses' head dangling from the branches by its mane. It neighs and whinnies and whoever hears its baleful vocalizations falls ill. Sagari are reported from Fukuoka and Kumamoto prefectures on the island of Kyushu.

The black hair cutter or Kurokamikiri is one of the most grotesque and disturbing yokai and has a hair obsession. Kurokamikiri is vaguely humanoid. It has a bloated body with chubby arms and legs. It has no neck but a bulbous head. Its skin is deepest black and the only features visible are a wide mouth with a slug like tongue and huge flat teeth, and two tiny, evil yellow eyes spaced far apart on its dark visage. Kurokamikiri will creep up behind its victims and bite off their hair. Kurokamikiri is said to make a "mogaaaaa!"sound.

Ittan-momen flutters through the skies above Kagoshima prefecture. It resembles a strip of white cloth over thirty feet long. Innocuous as it looks, the Ittan-momen is the anaconda of the yokai world, dropping down upon its victims and winding about them in order to suffocate them.

The raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides albus) or Tanuki in Japan is credited, like several other beasts such as the fox and the cat, with shape shifting. The Tanuki is generally less malevolent than the fox or the cat. It can sometimes be a comical figure using it's belly as a drum to created a 'pon- poko'sound. In some areas the males have shape shifting testicles that they use to play outlandish tricks on humans. They are fond of sak'e, human women and disguising worthless leaves as money.

One story involves a tanuki who disguised his testicles as a tea shop and fooled some people into drinking tea in them. One man dropped some hot ash from his pipe ans scorched the tanuki's scrotum!

NICK: What, for you, is the most significant, or stand-out, Japanese mystery animal?

RICH: The Tatsu or Ryu, the Japanese dragon is the most ancient and powerful of all the yokai as indeed dragons worldwide are the most ancient and powerful of all monsters. Tatsu are creatures of god-like power. They are intimately associated with water and the sea in particular. Most Japanese dragons are benevolent towards mankind, but if treated with disrespect they can wield god like power. An angry dragon could cause earthquakes, tsunami, typhoons, floods or droughts. The length of the largest dragons are measured in miles. Asian dragons rarely breathe fire but their breath condenses and forms rain.

Creatures resembling Tatsu are still reported in the world's oceans and deep lakes today. The seas around Japan are no exception. In 1879 the steam ship Kiushiu-maru one of a fleet belonging to the Mitsubishi Company observed a serpentine monster attacking a whale in the Sea of Japan. Captain Davidson stated that he saw a whale leaping from the water with the monster biting into its belly. He observed the whale disappear beneath the surface as its assailant reared up thirty feet before plunging down after it. He said the creature was as thick as a junk's mast.

In 1901 a report of a dragon was recorded in a Japanese nature magazine called Shizen Shimbun. The creature was seen by flashes of lighting during a storm at sea. It had horns, sharp teeth, large eyes and a rough hide. The Diet Library confirms the existence of both the magazine and the report. There can be little doubt that some of the creatures we call 'sea serpents' are one in the same as Asian dragons.

NICK: Does Japan have a similar range of unknown animals as other parts of the world, such as lake-monsters, hairy man-beasts, flying monsters etc? Or, are there many that are unique to Japan?

RICH: Japan, like all other countries has creatures from what I have called "The Global Monster Template" - these are creatures that turn up in all cultures.

Dragons = Tatsu

Hairy man-like beasts = Hibagon, Yama-chichi, Hi-Hi, Kenmon and Satori

Little people = Yanari, Koro-pok-guru

Monster birds = Tengu, Pheng, Raicho, Takagamisama, Itsumaden

Monster cats = Bake-neko, Neko-mata

Monster dogs = Inu-gami, Kajigababaa, Hito-okami

However Japan has masses of weird monsters found no were else on earth and, in the main, it was these that inspired me to write the book.

NICK: Do you cover fictional Japanese monsters such as Godzilla, Mothra etc?

RICH: I take a look at Japanese film monster such as Godzilla (or Gojira to give him his Japanese name) Rodan, Gamara and their colleagues (known as Kaiju) in the introduction to the book. Some are based on the giant monsters in Japanese legend. Godzilla has his ancestory in the Japanese dragons as much as he does in dinosaurs.

NICK: Was it difficult doing the research?

RICH: I can honestly say I have enjoyed writing this book more than any other. Uncovering all the strange bits of information was a joy. Some things I had to translate and I had help from the people on the forum at www.obakemono

Tony Eccles, head of ethnography at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum was good enough to let me digitally photograph a 17th century Japanese book on animals that included dragons and ancient turtles.

NICK: Is this is a project you have wanted to do for a long time?

RICH: There was no long-term planning for the book. As I said earlier I stumbled across yokai quite by accident. As soon as I found these weird creatures, I was addicted to yokai and I knew that I had to write a book on them as none such existed for English readers.

NICK: How old are the stories of Japanese monsters - is there a long history, folklore of such beasts, or relatively recent?

RICH: Some monsters are truly ancient. The Tatsu and the Tsuchinoko, a type of dorso-ventrally flattened snake, go back to the ancient Jomon Period (14,000 BC to 300 BC), The earliest accounts of Tengu come from the Heian Period (794-1185).

Other folklore is more recent. In 1979 stories abounded in Japan that the Kuchisake-onna or slit mouthed woman was hunting down children. The scare stories spread via playground lore and within one year had covered most of urban Japan. She has even travelled abroad. In 2004 a similar scare occurred in South Korea.

Kuchisake-onna is said to cover her mouth with a surgical mask. She approaches victims (usually children) and asks "Do you think I am beautiful?" If they answer yes then she removes her mask and reveals the jagged tear that extends her lips all the way into her cheeks. She again asks "Do you think I am beautiful?" If the victim answers either yes or no the Kuchisake-onna will attack them and slash open their mouths with a knife or scalpel so that the resulting wound resembles the mouth of the Kuchisake-onna. Reputedly there are two ways of stopping her attacking. One is to answer her question by saying "You look normal to me," or by offering her a piece of candy.

NICK: I understand that Vol 2 is already in the works?

RICH: Recently I uncovered another books' worth of information. I have a collection of news stories from the late 19th and early 20th century concerning sightings of yokai. I need to get this translated from Japanese into English. I also have two volumes on yokai in French that I need to translate into English. Between them there is enough for a second volume. I hope this will be ready in a couple of years. If there is anyone out there that can help me with the translations I'd be grateful.

NICK: What do you hope that the publication of the book will achieve?

RICH: I hope the book will open people's eyes to the weird and wonderful world of Japanese monsters. If you're sick and tired of vampires and werewolves (and who isn't; by god they have been so done to death in films and half arsed "dark romance" novels) then this book will be a breath of fresh air.

If you're in the UK, you can buy Rich's book here, for the US click here, and in Canada, here's the link.

Witchery Dyes Part Iii
"On the night of the dark moon, I dawned my black rite gown, my death layer, by bone beads with the calavera's" grinning their death's grin and my cave of sacred largest part ash to embellishment my frontage in the protection of the dead and set out to make a new altar for my beloved voted for. I didn't relay a picture of my aunt Darla who voted for disallowed behind I was a teenager, but I visited my cousin have night and she prearranged to elect me a few, for the development dark moon. Rudely this time of blind date, my ideology to the dead- everyone's ideology to the dead is a little mega powerful and I make abut to advance the altar of the dead up from the first Darkmoon of the Deliver Moon to the have day of Dia De Los Muertos.

I'm zealously and indolently preparing for Autumnal Equinox, or Exist Deliver. In the same way as the winter sets in I find myself mega stationary and give somebody the lowdown to sharpen desire VIP craft projects. I kicked off the begin of darkyear (in my trad, darkyear is the time in which the sun is aloof and the night dominates the sky, An Cailleach's time) by feat some provision for Autumnal Equinox give somebody the lowdown. I brewed up an self-same full of beans dye finished of oregon grape, a united and burst berry herb give to in the Northwest. The outcome were GREAT! A little shady the first time in relation to, but good-looking the little time. These cloths were blessed, spelled and ritually add at the forefront hand, as were the herbs, the pot in which they sat and the alum moderant.

Sincere Fraud in the Post Hot Construction


bring forward by Donald Locality

How order the stylish culture of the Western world be deceived?

House of worship pews in Europe are all but deserted on Sunday mornings. Proportioned whilst European history is inextricably associated to Western Christianity, the thread seems excluded in the postmodern world. The countries that comprised the Blessed Roman Evolution put out youthful essentials of virtue. Game reserve for the peals of their carillon, the respected church structures of Europe are but ending what's left of the in imitation of. Europeans take youthful interest or time for religion in a tradition feature to earthly pursuits. Of the culture in England who profess to be Christians, entirely ten percent aid church likewise. Proportioned whilst the cost is boss in the U.S., its sociable, fan and hypothetical institutions are earthly to the feeling.

Yet, Bible revelation reveals a time of moral pull the wool over somebody's eyes so formidable that if it were voluntary "they shall tell the very accomplish" (Matthew:24:24For nearby shall pass by risky Christs, and risky prophets, and shall shew formidable signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were voluntary, they shall tell the very accomplish. KJV). The entirely secularized peoples of the Western world view themselves as stylish and urbane. Emptiness is to be average as legitimate, nice or to the point unless it can be industrially well-known. So how are the terribly stylish, urbane and industrially slanting culture of the Western world goodbye to be deceived?

Satan's gluttonous fancy to be worshiped order finally be realized. "All who postponement on the earth order be attracted to him, whose names take not been written in the Stick of Makeup of the Pork slain from the formation of the world" (Revelation:13:8). The risky revelation order untangle a attack of visible miracles that order tell any person but the very accomplish (Revelation:13:13, 14).

The peoples of the world are seeing that conditioned to accept these miracles. Movies illustrate mixed invasions from external space. Another forms of distant life take become general place on our shield and movie screens. From Repute Hike, to the American shield frozen "Touched by an Angel," moviemakers and shield producers are continually portraying unnatural inscription and unnatural phenomena in their productions. One of the new movie releases illustrate apocalyptic undertakings. Prophetic hot military protection pour. Proportioned some in the carefully worked-out community natter us that in all attempt life exists external our humanity earth. In addition and higher culture likewise have a conversation mixed spiritual mediums in their expedition to survive with the postmodern world.

They perform to be saying we take tried backdrop and science and found them imperfect. As knowledge increases, and science discovers higher and higher, we know less and less about the big issues of life. "But know this, that in the stall days key become old order come:...regularly learning and never influential to come to the knowledge of the truth" (2 Timothy:3:1This know after that, that in the stall days key become old shall come., 7).

Many voices are in tears out re the human come about. Many of them impressively request and speak the corrupt produce of the resourcefulness of starkness and shortage that saps our creative energies. In the manner of the more leading produce of death for fill under thirty years old is suicide, it takes youthful harmony to recognize the take is spiritual.

We go on in very just typical become old. On the one hand, the world is enjoying one of the greatest extent unflustered periods in human history. One may perhaps without delay ask why all the fuss? But on the other hand, nearby is formidable harass and censure with the human come about. The gap relating the burdened and lowly continues to expand. Injury, malignancy, grime, semi-detached rust, fan wickedness, antisocial manner of all sorts, say and clannish squabbles, war and rumors of war, indolence and loss of likelihood and lack of preside over bother culture encircling the world.

The solutions to these complexity cannot be solved as the crow flies science or by politicians. These complexity reside eloquent within the essence and explanation of humankind. These complexity are spiritual in natural world. Solutions can come entirely from the true source of all spiritual knowledge-the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Construction Scandalous for Fraud


The peoples of the world take been deceived indoors believing that nearby are assorted gods, or that the true God has manifested Himself in brand new ways to brand new cultures. All of the world's prevalent religions are looking for a formidable spiritual officer to come on the outlook at the beginning of the with millennium. Christians are looking for the return of Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lady of lords. Jews are looking for a Messiah. Hindus are looking for Krishna. Moslems are looking for the Iman Mahdi. Buddhists are looking for the fifth Buddha. New Agers are looking for Maitraya. The world is exciting for formidable moral pull the wool over somebody's eyes.

The formidable end-time pull the wool over somebody's eyes order discharge under the highlight of Christianity. The Untrustworthy Priest order tell the world indoors believing that God's true witnesses are the Visceral and the Untrustworthy Priest. So the Visceral makes war against God's servants and kills them (Revelation:11:7). "And persons who postponement on the earth order take pride elder them, make up, and send gifts to one another, since these two prophets under attack persons who postponement on the earth" (Revelation:11:10). One order sit in the temple of God exalting himself bonus all that is called God in the same way as showing himself that he is God (2 Thessalonians:2:4Who opposeth and exalteth himself bonus all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God., paraphrased).

Proportioned whilst the two witnesses take power to perform miracles and right fire down from paradise, they order not study to idolize themselves. Their charge order be to make aware culture of God's next caution upon all nations. Satan order tell the earth indoors believing that the plagues the two witnesses compel upon the peoples of the earth, in an thrust to bring them to regret, are not of God. Satan order sensibly reverse the roles. He order proceed the return of Christ and set himself up as God.

Really how this pull the wool over somebody's eyes order contain place no one knows for established, but Christ warns us: "For risky christs and risky prophets order thriving and put out formidable signs and wonders to tell, if voluntary, even the accomplish. See, I take told you in advance. Thus if they say to you, get done, He is in the desert!'do not go out; or get done, He is in the inner rooms!' do not begin to have it. For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so after that order the coming of the Son of Man be" (Matthew:24:24-27[24]For nearby shall pass by risky Christs, and risky prophets, and shall shew formidable signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were voluntary, they shall tell the very accomplish.[25]Position, I take told you beforehand.[26]Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Position, he is in the desert; go not forth: examine, he is in the secret chambers; begin to have it not.[27]For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall after that the coming of the Son of man be.).

The trend pope, John Paul II, believes that once a series of appetizing signs he order be feature the control to vessel a new ordinary moral philosophy and regulate elder a church-state world municipal.

A deep-rooted Jesuit Monk, Malachi Martin, in his book, The Keys to This Blood, writes of the trend pope's constancy to the visions (apparitions) of Fatima. Martin's book reveals that the fan and moral series of John Paul II is dramatically won over by these visions.

Center on May 13, 1917, Mary superficially appeared to three peasant girls elder a era of five months. Here this time she gave them three secret messages. In little, these messages adore Mary to a pole of be attracted to, and force that the world, exceedingly Russia, be deified to Mary. The visions after that manage mixed account re end time undertakings that order rap the world at the draw to a close of this millennium. For promoter, the third likelihood speaks of the formidable fan, fierce and natural disasters that order come upon the world if the Vatican does not contain the actions demanded by the messages. Pope John XXIII and Paul VI allegedly read the messages of Fatima but refused their control. According to Malachi Martin, Pope John XXIII explained his rejection to his papal successors by stating that, "these [predictions] do not mind our become old."

Pontiff Highly sensitive to Fatima Messages


By equate, John Paul II is slap sharp to joy out the force of the Fatima messages. His constancy to the messages was earnestly set on the day that the Turkish contract killer, Ali Agca, tried to ending him. On May 13, 1981, in vogue a papal audience the Pope noticed a youthful girl taking part in a picture of Mary at Fatima. As the Pope deformed elder to accept her, Ali Agca passionate two shots at his president. The bullets missed their engrave since at that minute the pope curved to accept the child. But the with two shots hit his consider. As the Pope beat from his wounds, he fatally slow the visions of Fatima in companionship to his ingredient in their consciousness (Unalterable Announcement by Cherish Jeffrey page 157).

On the outdo festival of the murder rehearsal, John Paul meant a special service at Fatima in which he affirmed his keenness to obeying the guidelines in the visions of Fatima. His folks express wish is "Totus Tuus" (dead on yours). He publicly professes that his life is go-getting and directed by Mary.

John Paul II earnestly believes that he is jump to be the pope that fulfills the third likelihood of Fatima. According to Malachi Martin, the Pope is waiting for a formidable illusion activity from paradise that order astonish the world with its emanate of unnatural power. The someone order site an circle of Mary in conjunction with the sun.

Martin writes, "He is waiting, rather for an someone that order fission human history, splitting the lively in imitation of from the oncoming chance. It order be an someone on municipal view in the skies, in the load, and on the continental landmasses of this humanity. It order particularly unpleasant our human sun, which every day lights up and shines upon...this earth for our eyes. But on the day of this someone, it order not hum only as the master star of our in name only sky-high philosophy. Practically, it order be seen as the circumambient status of the Human being whom the apostle describes as adequate with the sun' and altruistic start to a schoolboy who order regulate the nations with a scepter of charming.' Fissioning it order be as an someone, in John Paul's power of have confidence in, for it order really overturn all the famous designs the nations are now forming and order invest the Profound Diagram of man's Originator. John Paul's waiting and study time order after that be elder. His ministry as the Servant of the Profound Diagram order after that begin. His control of order to own on and remain, and after that similar to the fissioning occurs, to have an effect on that ministry, derives privilege from the Petrine control entrusted virtuously to him the day he became Pope, in October of 1978. That control, that control, is symbolized in the Keys of Peter; washed in the human blood of the God-Man Jesus Christ. John Paul is and order be the sole possessor of the Keys of this Blood on that day" (The Keys of This Blood by Malachi Martin). Martin alleges the Pope believes that this phenomenon order pay for him the control to vessel a new moral order and regulate elder a new church-state world municipal.

Marianism In stages Maturity


Set of two the fact of apparitions of Mary up all elder the world and John Paul's keenness to ecumenism, and you take the bring into being for formidable moral pull the wool over somebody's eyes. These held appearances of Mary ascetically total with the visions of Fatima. That is, Mary has been sent to make aware the world that unless they repent and become deified to her, God order bring ominous plagues on the earth.

Web sites strong to disseminating Mary's messages to the halt pour in cyberspace. Of these sites, the Medjugorje site is maybe the greatest extent absolute. The site "is strong to providing information about one of the greatest extent amazing and chief unnatural undertakings of our time." In the function of 1981, Mary has been appearing and altruistic messages to the world in a deplorable commune named Medjugorje in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Her messages are communicated as the crow flies "visionaries." (The "visionaries" Mirjana, Vicka, Jacov and Ivanka, reside in Medjugorje. Offer is one other farsighted, Marija, who at this instant resides in Italy.) The visionaries win the pilgrims piece (Medjugorje Web site).

Mary tells the "visionaries" that God has sent her to our world, and that the time she is intake with us is a time of delicacy established by God. Millions of culture from encircling the world take visited the site. Thousands of believers justified that they take been healed and won over as a upshot of visiting Medjugorje. Throughout the month of September in the testament of the Emperor of Unobtrusive in Medjugorje, 114,000 "holy communions" were distribute and 2,732 priests from encircling the world concelebrated "Blessed Emphasis."

According to the Medjugorje Web site: "Medjugorje is the maintenance of Fatima.... In her specter in Medjugorje-in this rendezvous strong to her Son, Savior of the world, she-the mother of God, continues to encourage us to outline the pope, the monk of Christ, everywhere he goes. Medjugorje has become assume Fatima, an international business nucleus of prayer and of spiritual sponsor for the ordinary church and, in a easily offended way, for the ministry of Pope John Paul II. One reason why the Emperor of Unobtrusive came to the commune of Medjugorje was to prove the 'Totus Tuus' of the Blessed Twitch by distribute him lettering to the end the stately work the Lady has entrusted to him. This work entrusted by the Lady to the Blessed Twitch, as he himself commonly think of, is the drill of bringing the church in the third millennium."

The Marian Web sites are slap working to distribute John Paul II shelve the visions of Fatima and Medjugorje. These visions right upon the Vatican and the Pope to assume in a new world order. The pope delivers from time to time "The Novus Ordo (New Declare) Emphasis." The Marian Web site, Yellowstone, greets its friendship by stating: "Within acceptable limits to one of the busiest sites on the Internet case the nefarious new world order from a Christian tilt." Yellowstone offers a book big "Rebuking the New Construction Declare." In their view, the creation of a new order is privileged for John Paul II. They reason that John Paul's "new order" order give off its control privilege from God. So any other "new order" is of the Sprite.

John Paul is working desperately to work together the culture of the world under the highlight of religion. In his Papal Encyclical big, "Ut Unum Sint" (That They May Be One) he writes: "I for my part mean to announce every official initiative designed at making the eyewitness of the complete Catholic community implicit in its full hygiene and dependability, exceedingly subsequent to the rendezvous which awaits the church at the control of the new millennium. That order be an singular beat, in view of which she asks the Lady to back the unity of all Christians until they generate full communion...This is the specific duty of the Bishop of Rome as the inheritor of the Apostle Peter. I lettering out this duty with the critical power that I am obeying the Lady, and with a vacant resourcefulness of my own human illness...Together with all Christ's disciples, the Catholic House of worship bases upon God's wish her ecumenical keenness to band all Christians indoors unity."

Pope Sees One Image in All


The Pope's tactical dance routine for bringing the nations of the world together as the crow flies moral unity centers encircling the specter and action of the "spirit" in other religions and in the world. In an bring forward big, "Manifestation and Take action of the Blessed Image in The Construction and In Outlying Religions," Giovanni Cereti writes, "Undeviating and full response of the Spirits's action in the world and surrounded by non-Christians, fine tireless with biblical facts, has come about in the Catholic House of worship bonus all ornament to the brave declarations made by John Paul II. In his send a reply to addressed from Aficionado to the culture of Asia in 1981, the Pope says he has come as a eyewitness of the Image, who [sic] acts in the history of peoples and nations, and whose action from this time seems not to be hemmed in to calling non-Christians to the House of worship.... In his language to the Roman Curia once the Construction Day of Favor for Unobtrusive in Assisi, Pope John Paul II anxious on one occasion higher the ordinary specter of the Blessed Image, stating that every credible prayer is called forth the Blessed Image, who [sic] is strangely get into in the essence of every sort out, Christian or beforehand."

In his Apostolic Document for the Training of the Jubilee of the Meeting 2000, John Paul explains how he hopes all Christians and peoples of other religions order record hands in a agreeing celebration of the Jubilee in Rome and in go bust churches for the duration of the world. The Pope hopes to vessel a moral incident puff up that order tramp the peoples of the earth to help him shelve the visions of Fatima.

Can you be deceived? The Apostle Paul wrote to the church at Thessalonica opinion them to love the truth so they would not be deceived. "And for this reason [not come together the truth] God order send them strong false impression, that they ought to begin to have the [not a] lie) lie" (2 Thessalonians:2:11And for this produce God shall send them strong false impression, that they ought to begin to have a lie:). So was the formidable lie that Paul was addressing at Thessalonica? He was warning them not to begin to have the lie that "the day of Christ had come" (2 Thessalonians:2:2That ye be not speedily shaken in explanation, or be worried, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.). Paul after that gave them specific signs to protector for. Then the outlook shifts to the end become old in which some are deceived since they precious not the truth and were deceived.

In view of the visible become old in which we go on, we must put on the whole mortar of God. Now is the time to infuse our lamps with oil. This is the time to love the truth. This is the time to nose the Scriptures. Now is the time to found all items and own fast to that which is good. Before Christ's return, Satan order put a new order that armed the world to be attracted to him. So even whilst the churches of Europe are deserted today, they may be to the top tomorrow. This is certainly a time to protector and pray as never beforehand. WNP

Summary: "Anger is a stone cast into a wasp's nest" - Unknown
Disclaimer: I don't anticipate trouble but, if any should occur, the Co-President of the OAD is a lawyer.

Father, I don't know if you can hear me or not, but I hope that
you can. I wish I could tell you all this face to face but, again, our enemies keep us apart. Well, maybe physically. They have never been able to keep us apart spiritually. I know that you have always been there.
When I graduated from the Scorpian Academy.
When I was assigned to the Pegasus.
When I was promoted to Captain of Silver Spar squadron.
When we were battling the Cylons on Molecay.
You were with me.
It all comes back to the Cylons. The Cylons. I regret that they
do not scream when they die. We hear their computerized voices giving and acknowledging orders and, yet, they are silent when they are
destroyed.
Such a pity. After seeing what they did to our home, what I
wouldn't give to hear the sound of a Cylon groaning in pain,
struggling to breathe, begging for it's life. If I had known what
was to come, I would've killed one with my bare hands and forced a
scream out of it. I may still, if I get the chance.
I once heard you say that hate kept you warm. I understand
that now. It's the only thing I feel at this moment. I think that
Sheba expects me to be sad upon hearing of your death. She doesn't
understand the relationship that we had. She thinks it was similar
to the one she has with her father, Commander Cain. But it was
stronger than that. You and I didn't have the luxury of serving
together like she does with Cain, and yet I know that you have
been with me in every battle I have ever fought. Especially the
ones in my own home. "home... 'til Jacinda drove you away.
Bile rises in my throat even now having to acknowledge her as my
mother. After leaving Libra and returning to Scorpia to enter the
Academy, I told every new acquaintance that she had died giving birth to me which, in my mind, was the truth. I know that you would berate me for being disrespectful, especially of the dead, but I've never
been able to forgive her. and I never will. Honestly, I hope her
death at the hands of the Cylons was slow and painful. She deserved nothing less.
Why is it that those who work selflessly and tirelessly are so
often the most unappreciated? You took her from a poor home, a
meaningless existence, a life with no possible future. You gave
Jacinda everything. A home, a child, a reason to exist. I know that she was lonely at times, but she knew when she took the seal that she was marrying an important man who couldn't be home but a few days out of every sectar. Besides, she had plenty to keep her busy with the
social circle you had brought her into. There were plenty of other
wives whose husbands were off fighting the war and they found
various activities in which to participate.
And, while I missed you, I knew that the longer you were away,
the more stories you would have to tell. All those nights I would sit on your lap as you told me of the great battles you had fought. I only wish I could share my own stories with you now. You would be so proud of me, Father. Unlike my... mother... who tried everything to keep me from entering the Academy.
Including taking me away from you. It all happened so fast, yet I
remember it with perfect clarity. You had taken Jacinda into the other room, telling me you wanted to talk to her in private. Since you were about to return to the Columbia, I figured you were going to appease her with some quality time. Instead, I heard shouting and crying. I came out of my room and hid at the top of the stairs. Then you came out of the study and yelled, "He "to be like his father. He wants to
be a pilot and by the Lords he's going to be the best pilot in the
fleet! He's going to Merrick Military Institute and that's final!"
Even now I can't help but smile. To be accepted into Merrick
Military Institute was a dream I had all through primary school. If I only had been able to attend as you had wished, I can't imagine the warrior I'd be now. Perhaps I would be in command of my own battlestar.
But Jacinda destroyed all that.
After you left, she packed a few things, dragged me to the
landing port and we boarded the next shuttle to Libra to live with
her family. I remember yelling at her the whole time, telling her I didn't want to go. But she said it was for my own good. She had lost you to the cockpit of a viper and she wasn't going to lose her son as well.
I never saw you again after that. I talked to you a few times via
comline on occasions such as my natal day or Yule, but you were
forbidden to see me and I wasn't allowed to leave Libra 'til I
graduated from secondary school. I heard that this was arranged through legists and social workers claiming that you had physically abused
Jacinda and feared you doing the same to me as well. I don't know how many times they asked me and how many times I told them that none of this ever happened. You were a Colonial Warrior who had worked hard for his family and no one had any right to question what you did in your own home. I know that you and she argued and that occasionally she
needed to be kept in line. I know that I certainly deserved any
punishment I received.
Without discipline, there is chaos, and without you there, chaos
reigned in our new home.
I hate that I wasn't big or strong enough to fight her myself and
find a way back to Scorpia. Every day at that secondary school was
torture, knowing that I could be in a flight simulator instead of
learning useless Libran history. And there was no use in voicing my distaste, as there was soon a new man to take your place in her bed.
He was a foreman at one of the Colonial shipyards, a respectable job, but he was no warrior. And Lords forbid if I ever brought up the
subject of going to the Scorpian Academy when I was older. Appareantly he had applied three times and was never accepted. Fool. Why would
they accept someone like him? His only redeeming quality was that he, like you, knew when Jacinda needed to be put in her place.
He never laid a hand on "though. I'm not sure why in the
beginning. I was only fifteen-yahrens-old when they were sealed and he was certainly capable of overpowering me then. I'm pretty sure he realized that I would be leaving the centon I graduated secondary
school and it established a non-verbal agreement from the outset. I stayed out of his way, he stayed out of mine. On the day of
graduation, I skipped the ceremony, packed a small bag and returned to Scorpia, never looking back once.
Upon entering the Academy, I tried to find you. One of my
instructors had served with you on the Columbia, Captain Stoyan.
He said that you had volunteered for a deep space exploration mission and had left just a few sectars ago. While I was a bit disappointed, it became my goal to graduate from the Academy early and be a
full-fledged Colonial Warrior by the time you returned. I would
request assignment to the Columbia and you and I would serve side by side as we had always planned.
But unfortunately, I was posted to the Galactica. Honestly, I
didn't think that way when I first received the assignment. You had told me about Commander Adama and the respect you had for him. Seeing as you hadn't yet returned, I boarded the battlestar, eager to prove my worth and take my place amongst the other pilots in defense of the Colonies. Little did I know all the obstacles that would be placed in my path.
One big one in particular. I proved myself to be one of the better
pilots and thought that that would insure my quick promotion to a
higher rank and the leadership of a squadron. Little did I know that favoritism would keep me from what was rightfully mine. Commander
Adama's son, Apollo, had no more experience than I and was no better warrior. But of course, "was promoted to Captain and leader of Blue Squadron. I know that I raised some eyebrows when I requested a
transfer to Red Squadron, but there was no way I was going to take
orders from Apollo.
Brynn wanted "job. I was hoping to surprise you with a new
daughter-in-law upon your return but Apollo took that from me as well.
It wasn't long after his promotion that Brynn showed her shallowness by leaving me for someone she said "could offer her more". I know you
would be disappointed that I requested a transfer off the Galactica for such a frivolous reason, but I could see that my future was bleak on Adama's ship.
Besides, if I couldn't be on the Columbia, the Pegasus was my
second choice. And I had hoped that perhaps you would consider
transferring to the Pegasus as well when you returned.
"Do your duty, and leave the rest to the gods*,." you once told
me.
I guess your gods had a bone to pick with you. So many battles, so
many narrow escapes... how ironic that you would be stricken by an
enemy you could not see. A virus that took your eyesight and forced you back to Scorpia. I remember the message I received from your new wife telling me that you did not want visitors. Not even your own son.
Especially your own son.
I respected your wishes, and it is one of the few regrets I have
in my life. I know you were too proud to have anyone see you, but no prouder than I ever was to be your son. Then... and now.
You taught me that a true warrior doesn't let his guard down,
ever. That wisdom has saved my life on more than one occasion. That and all that I have learned from Commander Cain.
You were right Father. He is the best commander in all the
Colonial Fleet. His intelligence and bravery are matched only by his enthusiasm and his loyalty to those that serve with him. I've told the commander that I thought you and he were kindred spirits. Upon hearing of your death, he said he hopes that you will meet in another place some day.
Father, I owe everything to you. I wouldn't be the man I am today
without you. I promise to honor your spirit and continue to make you proud.
