It is December 1 and time for me to think about presents. As a pagan, I celebrate midwinter, or Yule, as a religious festival rather than Christmas, but I think it is wonderful that pretty much every culture has some sort of celebration at this time of year.Here are a few items on my personal wish list:This gorgeous hand-crafted dress is my favourite in a range made by a lovely witch called Hazel and sold through her eBay shop, Wytch-Haze-Medieval-Designs.It is made in a rich black crushed velvet and is a really flattering style.Each gown Hazel makes is a bespoke, one-off original, so you know you will never bump into another witch wearing the same robe. This dress costs lb100, which I think is very reasonable.http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Wytch-Haze-Medieval-Designs Raw Gaia is a range of living skin care products made using only cold-pressed, organic and vegan ingredients, infused with essential oils and floral waters of the finest quality. I've used some of the products in the past and they are really good.This complete skin care set contains some of Raw Gaia's best selling items and is a real pampering treat.

The metaphysical lore or magical uses of crystals and stones is as old as time. By magic, I am referring to the metaphysical energies associated with the stones or crystals. Crystals and stones contain the earth's metaphysical energies. The first shamans knew the hidden power or energy found in these even when they were separated by continents. Many Native American cultures share in the same belief as well. As time went on, amulets and talismans were made to provide the holder with the magical properties of the stones or crystals being used. There is a vast majority of uses for stones and crystals that has been studied and used over the ages of time.
Stones and crystals have projective and receptive properties or energies that are associated with them. These metaphysical properties are everywhere within the universe. Too much of one causes problems, thus warranting the need for balance. A person feeling out of balance or lacking within a certain aspect of them-self could use a certain stone or crystal that had a desired metaphysical energy to bring balance back into them-self. One must also understand that the color of stones contributes to the metaphysical energies and properties they contain. Here is a list of stones and crystals with metaphysical uses associated with them. This list is not all inclusive.

Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, president of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, visited Gaza on May 7-10 at head of an entourage of 45, including senior officials of the organization. In the past, Qaradawi was a candidate for leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood, and over the years he has acquired the status of spiritual leader of this movement and of its Palestinian branch, Hamas. Qaradawi received a warm welcome, especially from the Hamas leadership. They saw the visit as an important affirmation, by the longstanding and supreme religious authority of the Sunni Muslim world, of Hamas' rule in Gaza. The visit affirmed Hamas as a faithful exponent of the Palestinian people and the "jihadist" enterprise, aimed at conquering the State of Israel and making it part of the Islamic state of Palestine - eventually to be one of the provinces of the Islamic caliphate whose capital will be Jerusalem. Qaradawi's visit was extensively covered in the Hamas government's media, which again highlighted the "sheikh of "jihad"'s" (as Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh called him) backing for this Palestinian movement. On May 10, the headline of the official Hamas daily "Falastin "was worded in that spirit: "Qaradawi calls for liberating the soil of Palestine." The subhead was a quotation of the most important statement he made: "We will never concede Palestine and we will never recognize Israel." During the visit, Qaradawi set forth his political outlook, thereby offering a sort of vision for the future (as well as a sort of last will and testament, given his advanced age (86) and his own recent remark that his days are numbered). The following are the main tenets of that outlook:QARADAWI'S VISION FOR THE FUTURE * The Palestinians have a right to the soil of Palestine: "We join hands with the Palestinians and support the most just cause on the face of the earth, since the Palestinians were driven by the Jews from their homes by force of arms." Qaradawi denies any Jewish connection to the Land of Israel, regarding the Jews who have settled in it as foreigners who forcefully seized land that did not belong to them. "We are here, and here we will remain, we will not leave our land and starting from today there will be no emigration. We will die on our land or we will triumph." * The Palestinians have no right to concede Palestine. Qaradawi asserted that the Palestinians hold the deed to Palestine, but also emphasized that not one of them has the right or the authorization to give up his right and receive financial compensation in lieu of the soil of the homeland. "Islam and Sharia do not allow selling part of the homeland, and this, our homeland, belongs to us, and so it will remain and we will return to it." Qaradawi further stated: "We will never concede the right [to Palestine] and we will never recognize 'Israel.'" * Qaradawi thereby assigns to the Palestinians the religious responsibility for liberating Palestine in the name of the Islamic "ummah" ("The people of Palestine and Gaza represent the entire Arab and Islamic "ummah"). He severely forbids them to take positions that entail recognition of any foreign rule, Jewish or other, over the soil of Palestine. One implication is the denial of any possibility of political compromise or recognition of Israel's right to exist. * Unity is the key to the liberation of Palestine. Qaradawi spoke of the huge importance he ascribes to unity as a force multiplier that can enable the Muslims to overcome, as he sees it, even those with nuclear and chemical weapons. Unity must prevail in the internal Palestinian sphere and in the Arab-Islamic arena as well, thereby preparing the ground for an Islamic conquest of the entire State of Israel. "We want to see a united "ummah" that will forcefully assert its rights to the land, and at the forefront of those rights - Palestine." * "Jihad" is fundamental to the liberation of Palestine. The only strategy to liberate it, Qaradawi asserted, is "jihad" in the way of Allah." This requires rejecting political dialogue and compromise while adhering to armed struggle in the spirit of Islam. He praised the residents of Palestine and Gaza for raising the flag of "jihad" and refusing to lower it despite the difficulties they have encountered. "I am proud to be a Gazan, since Gaza maintains its role in the "jihad", in the struggle, and in the defense of the Al-Aqsa Mosque," he stated. * The ultimate goal is an Islamic state. Qaradawi called on Muslims to fulfill divine justice, establish a Muslim society, and subsequently a Muslim "ummah". Regaining rights in Palestine is, in his view, an aspect of striving to regain the Muslim lands of the early Islamic era, in keeping with the mission of the Prophet Muhammad and those who came after him. Dr. Marwan Abu Ras, president of the Palestinian Islamic Scholars Association, which is identified with Hamas, said in a speech honoring Qaradawi at the Islamic University that the Palestinians see themselves as continuing his path. "We are students of Qaradawi. We learned from him the true path ["Wasatiyyah" - the middle road], and [the way of] force regarding [the restoration of] rights, and [the way of] power regarding the prohibition on visiting Al-Aqsa [Mosque] when it is under occupation and [conditional] on its permission. We learned from him the [importance] of force in supporting the Palestinian resistance and in the actions of self-sacrifice [suicide]." During the Second Intifada, Qaradawi published a religious ruling ("fatwa") that permits suicide bombings and the killing of Israeli civilians. He headed the Union of Good organization, which raised millions of dollars for institutions connected to Hamas. A considerable part of these funds went to support Palestinian terrorists imprisoned in Israel, for the families of terrorists who were killed including those who had carried out suicide bombings, and for Hamas' "dawah" activity, which inculcates the values of "jihad" in Palestinian society. The visit of Qaradawi, the premier religious scholar of the Sunni Muslim world, is of great significance for Hamas, which wins further, major legitimacy for its rule. The visit also indicates that Hamas' "jihad" approach is preferable to that of political negotiations, which the "president of Palestine," Mahmoud Abbas, represents. The tailwind provided by Qaradawi is also vital for Hamas in the long-term battle it is waging against the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. This campaign aims at the eventual complete takeover of the PA and PLO institutions, while winning internationally recognized status for Hamas as the sole representative of the Palestinian people. In the West, including some who are close to the Obama administration, Qaradawi has been portrayed as representing moderate, political Islam ("Wasatiyyah"). This notion helped legitimize the Muslim Brotherhood as an ally for the United States in place of longstanding regimes that fell in the revolts known as the "Arab Spring." Qaradawi's words in Gaza reflect the real nature of "Wasatiyyah" (the true path): a clear-cut, organized approach to implementing Islamic religious rule in all the Muslim states, while adopting "jihad" as the means of realizing its political-religious objectives. This approach is similar to that of al-Qaeda, differing only in terms of the phases of implementation. Moreover, Qaradawi, while focusing on the liberation of Palestine, also hinted at the Islamic obligation to liberate Spain from Christian occupation; the rule that no one has the authority to concede Islamic land applies to Spain as well (and to the other lands leading to the gates of Vienna). About a decade ago, Qaradawi issued a "fatwa" on the gradual conquest of the entire continent of Europe via Islamic exhortation ("dawah") and the demographic factor, leading to the fulfillment of Muhammad's prophecy on the conquest of the cities of Constantinople (Istanbul), Jerusalem, and Romiyyah (Rome) as a condition for the emergence of the Mahdi, the Muslim messiah. Finally, it should be noted that Qaradawi and his entourage entered Gaza through the Rafah crossing in Egyptian Sinai. Haniyeh, who welcomed him, boasted that there was and is no need for Israeli permission and that Qaradawi was coming to Gaza as had the "victorious conquerors" in the days of the Muslim conquests. Qaradawi's visit, like that of the high-ranking Bahraini delegation that concurrently arrived in Gaza, and hundreds of other delegations and visitors from abroad, indicates the simple fact that the Gaza-Egypt border is actually open and there is no "blockade" of Gaza. See this article on the JCPA site at Sheikh Qaradawi's Visit to Gaza.

Christmas Plants, Holly and Mistletoe, Santa.Any person celebrates Christmas with these, but few realise the true and ancient gravity much-lamented their revelry.
"Consistently WONDERED WHY THIS Sit out IS SO MAGICKAL AND WHY Needs ARE End NOW Elder THAN EVER?"
At In general Wicca Exercise we are celebrating this come through as YULE.

Wicca is a modern religion based on pagan (ancient) natural world adulation. Wiccan magick is based on the invocation of ancient natural world powers (gods and goddesses) that form the found of all modern stanch beliefs.
Tree adulation by decorating evergreens is what's more part of ancient pagan ritual distant live in the modern world. Evergreens - Fir, Holly and Mistletoe all are symbols of eternal life. This is the real commission why you decorate a Christmas Tree and use these symbols.
Its time people understood the true symbolism and gravity of Yule as it helps us return to natural world and recyclable life.
The Old God of Remote (symbolised by an old bearded man) dies and is instinctive as before time over. He brings cheerful tidings of Yule to one and all and is the Wiccan or ancient equal of each one Santa (old god) and Christ (descendant sun).
Even if God represents the Yang (masculine) nonaligned or audible aspect of supernatural being the God is the Yin (feminine) inner undetectable aspect of Portend - she is the Portend Authorization (Shakti) one who gives ecological to God or consciousness (Shiva). All mythology of Vishnu, Osiris, Christ, whether Greek, Egyptian, Hindu or of any religion.all has line in this ancent pagan and strict Axiom - that energy and consciousness (what's more called goddess and god) are the creators of the distance.
Yule represents the return of light in haziness or the revitalization of consciousness. As we elegance 2012 we are helpful a situation of fanatical spiritual encouragement in the world which is the issue of this year's Yule celebration.
As Yule stands for re-activation of consciousness, it is what's more a time for wish fulfillment and magick spells (spells are strict - energy based formulae to organize our inner god and goddess power to discernible our head of government good).

I still strive for to wish someone a "Vivid Ash Wednesday" as I am exuberant about Lent. Of course that would be hopeless. I know "Think a Holy Ash Wednesday" would be the way to go, but it doesn't cut it for me. Too.........torpid.Lent has begun. In the role of a magnificent time!Not a magnificent time, as in 'we had a magnificent time."A magnificent time, as in "period that are full of profound remark."Legal for a close let's unnatural we're not Catholic. Lone for a close, even as, really. (And let's not get hit by a bus all through this close. You're relics can go to relics and your add to add at the back the close passes.)In the role of would we get out of Lent, with no religion fascinated, by equitable using the time to do without?Phantom construction, that's what. Individuality who had had to alive straight the Brilliant Mark, or been in bootcamp, or deployed in another place from home, or scraping by to rummage the kin and pay the bills or hard a back seat one day so someone to boot can glitter will bring to light you that say whatever thing up builds air.So to do it for forty days will build convincingly a bit of air. "That which doesn't hang you makes you stronger." Who intended that anyhow? FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE. Spoken language of no religion involved!Now let's be Catholic anew.Whew! I hope no meteors hit individuality.Lent is somewhere the rubber hits the direction to heaven. For example we are not equitable departure to award whatever thing up. We are departure to disbursement. The word "disbursement" (which no speculate does not dart in Oxford Drop Word list) is from the Latin "sacrificium": "sacr", "sacred" + "facere", "to make." We are departure to make what we don't do sacred.Which means: no whining, no blabbering about our magnificent sacrificesl. Do it. Tender it up. And shut up about it.And : BE Tasty.Vivid Lent!Which brings me to today's question: I exert an Ash Wednesday question. My spouse equitable brought it up as if it were an odd hypothesis, but I exert wondered this every see for being. The Gospel reading for today starts out: "Shoulder wisdom not to perform only actions in order that society may see them." After that we go out from Collapse and go to our jobs or our shopping with big black crosses on our foreheads. So, isn't current a bit of dryness in that? How do we stay the words and the act in this case?No matter which has gone out of line in your credo about the meaning of the relics and why we saunter on the subject of with them on all day. Arrived relics on your head is not a only file. Arrived relics on your head is believed to be an act of diffidence. Quieten greater than so in today's relationship somewhere someone is so very conscious of how they activate every even more.You do get to shut up about your only actions like you actually do them. You don't award money to the shameless and with run on the subject of all day recitation someone you gave money to the shameless. This is not cast your vote day for the good file doers, somewhere you get to wear a thorough marker all day that says, "I gave." This is the day to wear relics on your head all day as you are equitable a enclose of add that God chose to award life. You enclose of add you.The relics on your head don't bring to light someone on the bus that you exert done only actions. The relics on your head bring to light someone on the bus that you are really a enclose of add.At the end of Lent we will be celebrating the fact that we are piles of add that God chose to award eternal life. Picturesque difficult. But not to be confounded with only actions.Why did we exert that reading today? For example today is about life destitute. The whole erode is about diffidence. But demonstration up for Collapse is not a only file. It's an obligation.

"Put God first."
The first time I ever heard this phrase, it came from my Grandmother's lips. In her way, she was trying to instill in me the same wisdom passed down from generation to generation. The idea that having god as your number one priority would cure all of your ills and grant you everlasting life in Heaven. Mind you, she meant well. I am sure someone in her young life said those words to her, meaning no harm but trying to save her soul. But, now that I am older and away from the trap, I no longer think this phrase to be true -- or even correct.
It is the idea that a supposed all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving, all-[insert your description here] would need so much (or anything) that makes it hard to believe. Basically, I fail to see what something that is supposed to be perfect and complete could gain from people praying to or worshiping it. By definition, being perfect implies there is no fault or defect or lack. Yet, Christians state that God "wants" you, "needs" you to love Him, even though He is fully complete and perfect already.
In all of the twisting and contorting, everyone forgets one thing: You can't have it both ways. Either God is perfect and requires nothing from us, or he is faulty and needs our love and adoration. God is not supposed to be like a flawed human, yet love, pride, jealousy, wrath, kindness, caring, hatred, and rage are all attached to Him -- all traits a human possesses. This is always explained away though. "God is outside of everything, and logic does not apply", they say. Well, unfortunately, this is not an answer. It is just mental gymnastics at it's best, trying to answer something that is impossible.
Another thing I have come to hate about the phrase is the implication that family and even children are to take a back seat to a deity. Again, why does a god need more from me than a child would? A child is helpless up to a certain age. They cannot survive without a parent's love and care. On the other hand, something that can answer prayers, punish the wicked with awesome displays of power, and created everything in existence, wouldn't need to care about whether or not I paid my lip service for the evening or read a few lines in a book. Yet, the mantra stands: "Put God First," and people believe it.
In my opinion, this idea is meant to keep you fastened to the cult. If everything is focused on the main character of the story, how can you entertain any other view? Kids, spouses, other family members, work, hobbies, and other things become second class to a deity. Who, if given the chance, would take pleasure in watching you suffer forever and ever. But forget about that, He loves you. Eye on the prize, baby, eye on the prize.
Christians can cut this any way they want. Main thing is, however, it's just another ridiculous example of cult mentality. When you take all of your energy and being, and put it into something that requires your full compliance, you are asking for trouble. It is dangerous to lose who you truly are in anything. But, it is even more dangerous to buy into a way of thinking that would put you in the place of choosing something you can't see over the people you love.

We have the right to include or exclude anyone from our homes or even our immediate surroundings if we do not wish their presence.This binding spell is very simple, but requires full concentration. Use a short length of black thread. Visualize the person or persons you wish to exclude. Tie a knot in one end of the thread, saying:"One to seek him/her/them."Tie a knot in the middle and say:"One to find him/her/them."Tie a knot in the other end saying:"One to bring them/her/him"Tie ends together and say:"One to bind him/her/them.""Stone to stone, forever one."So say I. This spell is done."Bury the knotted thread off your property. If you can't do that, drop it in a river, or out the car window along the highway headed out of town. The idea is that as you tie the knots you are binding (or attaching) the person into the knot and once the spell is cast, the thread must be disposed of in a way that it can't come back to you.NOTE: This spell can also be used to get rid of situations and circumstances that look as if they might be headed in your direction. Also, be aware, the intention of the spell is to keep someone away from you - not to cause them harm.Found in: Moon Magick

The day after Alexandria burned, in 392 the Roman Rule began forbid of all "Pagan" feel affection for. Conform to that "Pagan" is a Christian word meaning any and all religions other than Christianity. So in 392, all other religions were officially decreed not keen the law. In 410 Sovereign Honorius continued the procedure decreeing: "Let all who act discordant to the sacred laws know that their creeping in their revolutionary superstition to feel affection for at the most lonely soothsayer is liable to tax by transportation and blood, indigence they over be tempted to muster at such sitting room for wrongdoer whereabouts."For decades, Pagan temples within the Rule were burned and wrecked. A 386 in black and white establish to the Roman school assembly of Christian pillaging mortar, stating: "If they [the Christians] hear of a place with no matter which survey raping not worth it, they instantly clutch that someone is making sacrifices current and committing abominations, and pay the place a visit-you can see them scurrying current, these guardians of good order (for that is what they headset themselves), these brigands, if brigands is not too gentle a word; for brigands at smallest amount try to cover what they have the benefit of done: if you headset them brigands, they are mad, but these fly, on the discordant, put on ineffectuality in their exploits... they have doubts about they advantage rewards!" -Helen Ellerbe, "The Gray Turn of Christian Log" (28)Without stopping after the eradication of most temples, Rome's non-Christians continued to practice their pagan religions and carry strong to their beliefs. In greeting to this the Sovereign taboo the practice of all religions other than Judaism/Christianity and decreed non-compliance liable to tax by death."By 435 a law threatened any heretic in the Roman Rule with death. Judaism remained the lonely other fairly infamous religion. Yet, Jews were dreary as drastically as voluntary, with intermarriage surrounded by Jew and Christian elation the exact faint as adultery: the woman would be executed. The Church had triumphed. The belief in but one comprise of God had led to the valid enforcement of but one religion. Plump Christians acted on their belief about God. As they alleged God to enclose in an authoritarian attitude, so they set about way of thinking a way in which they, in God's name, might advantage harmonizing authoritarian enclose. To that end, they built an authorities that appealed to the school assembly of the Roman Rule by promoting flatness and restraint." -Helen Ellerbe, "The Gray Turn of Christian Log" (29)Constantine and taking place emperors cast-off Christianity as an ideological and follower unifying/centralizing potency to assimilate or finish any person in the field of their ever-expanding period. The death faint was delivered dictatorially and erratically. The Roman Rule was in no time power and connect in the role of in 540AD the extreme evil eye in well-known history hit slaughter an awesome 100 million fly. Extra 10,000 fly a day died in Byzantium ally. Settle this to the evil 14th century "Black Pasting" which killed (lonely) 27 million. Preventable to say the evil eye spelled disaster for the Roman Rule, but not for Christian imperialism."The evil eye had more willingly eccentric have an effect on upon Christianity. Species flocked to the Church in startle. The Church explained that the evil eye was an act of God, and pest a reprimand for the sin of not obeying Church expert. The Church notorious Justinian a heretic. It stated the cover of Greek and Roman medication, used up in fear the evil eye, to be heresy. Though the evil eye explicit the breakdown of the Roman Rule, it strengthened the Christian church. Behindhand the evil eye, the Church dominated the orderly chastise of medication. The most collective medical practice surrounded by the sixth and sixteenth centuries cast-off for every malady became skinned.' Christian monks educated that skinned a shape would plug up lethal imbalances, plug up sexual indicate, and justification the humors. By the sixteenth century this practice would kill tens of thousands each day. Yet, in the role of a shape died happening blood-letting, it was lonely lamented that psychiatric help had not been started slightly and performed leader warily." -Helen Ellerbe, "The Gray Turn of Christian Log" (42)At the rear of the burial of the evil eye and the fall of the Roman Rule was the exterior of the Christian Church. At the rear of the exterior of the Christian Church was the depression of most every other article of political party."The Church had devastating have an effect on upon political party. As the Church understood be in charge of, gesture in the fields of medication, technology, science, coaching, history, art and affair all but bent. Europe entered the Gray Ages. Whilst the Church summative gargantuan wealth happening these centuries, most of what defines humanity used up... Technology used up as the Church became the most cohesive power in Western political party. The deep aqueduct and plumbing systems vanished. Plump Christians educated that all aspects of the flesh indigence be insufferable and so therefore downhearted washing as drastically as voluntary. Toilets and in the bounds of plumbing used up. Poison became derivative as sanitation and hygiene deteriorated. For hundreds of years, towns and villages were decimated by epidemics. Roman primitive heating systems were next deserted. As one historian writes: 'From about A.D. 500 cheeky, it was thought no experiment to lie on the gulp down at night, or on a tangy stand abovementioned low drafts, misty earth and rats. To be indoors was regard copiousness. Nor was it unpleasant to put your head down huddled brutally together in business, for cook was high-quality abovementioned seclusion.' The vast lattice of road and rail network that had enabled expatriation and letters next slash in the field of rashness and would prolong so until close at hand the nineteenth century. The wounded in science were monumental. In some cases the Christian church's boiling of books and totalitarianism of academic hound set civilization back as drastically as two millennia in its procedural understanding... Log was rewritten to become a make a recording of Christian beliefs. Plump Christians thought history elemental lonely in order to place the events of the as soon as in the field of Biblical context." -Helen Ellerbe, "The Gray Turn of Christian Log" (41-45)Buy The Atlantean Stealth Now
The Mis-Transliteration of a Greek Mis-Transliteration. Yeshua is the original Aramaic proper name for Jesus the Nazarene, who lived from about 6 B.C.E. to 27 C.E. (A.D.) The word "Jesus" is actually a mis-transliteration of a Greek mis-transliteration. The Emperor Constatine even mistook Jesus for Apollo, the son of the Greek god Zeus. In Hebrew Yeshua means Salvation while the name Jesus has no intrinsic meaning in English whatsoever. Yeshua Ben Yosef It is most proper to call Him Yeshua. It was indeed his proper name, given to him by his parents, and only in Hebrew does this name have any meaning. In Hebrew Yeshua means both "Salvation," and the concatenated form of Yahoshua, is "Lord who is Salvation." The name Jesus has no intrinsic meaning in English whatsoever. There are many Yeshuas that we read about in Biblical text and many are confused with the Yeshua who would later become the "Christ". The name Yeshua appears 29 times in the Tanach. Yehoshua (Joshua) of Nun is called Yeshua in Nechemyah (Nehemiah) 8:17. Yeshua is the name of the Cohain HaGadol (the high priest) in the time of Zerubavel in Ezra 3:2. It is the name of a Levite under King Hizkiyah (Hezekiah) in 2 Chronicles 31:15. There is even a city called Yeshua in the negev of Yehudah in Nechemyah11:26. Yeshua is also a shortened version of the word Yehoshua much like Bill is for William. There are 7 other Yeshuas (Jesuses) in the Brit Chadashah. There is Elymas bar Yeshua in Acts 13:6. There is an ancestor of Yeshua HaMashiach: the son of Eliezar, the father of Er in Luke 3:29. In Rav Shaul's letter to the Colossians in chapter 4, verse 11, there is a Justus called Yeshua a fellow worker of Shaul. Josephus, the famous Jewish historian mentions 20 different Yeshuas (Jesuses), 10 of which are contemporary with Yeshua HaMashiach. All together, at least 50 Yeshuas from his time plus about 9 in the Tanach have been revealed from Biblical text and other literary sources. Mis-Translating the Mis-Translation Yeshua is a Hebrew name which has been transliterated into Greek as Iesous (IhsouV: pronounced "ee-ay-SUS"). The English "Jesus" comes from the Latin transliteration of the Greek name into the Latin Iesus. Now Greek has no "y" sound, but the Latin "i" is both an "i" and a "j" (i.e., it can have a consonantal force in front of other vowels), the latter of which is properly pronounced like the English "y" (which explains the German Jesu, "YAY-su")That is why we spell Jesus as we do, taking it straight from Latin, but we pronounce the name with a soft "j" sound because that is what we do in English with the consonantal "j". The first letter in the name Yeshua ("Jesus") is the yod. Yod represents the "Y" sound in Hebrew. Many names in the Bible that begin with yod are mispronounced by English speakers because the yod in these names was transliterated in English Bibles with the letter "J" rather than "Y". This came about because in early English the letter "J" was pronounced the way we pronounce "Y" today. All proper names in the Old Testament were transliterated into English according to their Hebrew pronunciation via the Latin, but when English pronunciation shifted to what we know today, these transliterations were not altered. Thus, such Hebrew place names as ye-ru-sha-LA-yim, ye-ri-HO, and yar-DEN have become known to us as Jerusalem, Jericho, and Jordan; and Hebrew personal names such as yo-NA, yi-SHAI, and ye-SHU-a have become known to us as Jonah, Jesse, and Jesus. To further complicate matters, there was no letter "J" in the old English alphabet and the letter "I" was often used in its place. Often in early texts of the time, Jesus or Jerusalem would be spelled Iesus or Ierusalem. The second sound in Yeshua's name is called tse-RE, and is pronounced almost like the letter "e" in the word "net". Just as the "Y" sound of the first letter is mispronounced in today's English, so too the first vowel sound in "Jesus". Before the Hebrew name "Yeshua" was transliterated into English, it was first transliterated into Greek. There was no difficulty in transliterating the tse-RE sound since the ancient Greek language had an equivalent letter which represented this sound. And there was no real difficulty in transcribing this same first vowel into English. The translators of the earliest versions of the English Bible transliterated the tse-RE in Yeshua with an "e". Unfortunately, later English speakers guessed wrongly that this "e" should be pronounced as in "me," and thus the first syllable of the English version of Yeshua came to be pronounced "Jee" instead of "Yeh". It is this pronunciation which produced such euphemistic profanities as "Gee" and "Geez". Since Yeshua is spelled "Jeshua" and not "Jesus" in most English versions of the Old Testament (for example in Ezra 2:2 and 2 Chronicles 31:15), one easily gets the impression that the name is never mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures. Yet 'Yeshua' appears there twenty-nine times, and is the name of at least five different persons and one village in the southern part of Yehudah ("Judah"). In contrast to the early biblical period, there were relatively few different names in use among the Jewish population of the Land of Israel at the time of the Second Temple. The name Yeshua was one of the most common male names in that period, tied with Eleazer for fifth place behind Simon, Joseph, Judah, and John. Nearly one out of ten persons known from the period was named Yeshua. The first sound of the second syllable of Yeshua is the "sh" sound. It is represented by the Hebrew letter shin. However Greek, like many other languages, has no "sh" sound. Instead, the closest approximation, the Greek sigma, was used when transcribing "Yeshua" as "Iesus". Translators of English versions of the New Testament transliterated the Greek transcription of a Hebrew name, instead of returning to the original Hebrew. This was doubly unfortunate, first because the "sh" sound exists in English, and second because in English the "s" sound can shift to the "z" sound, which is what happened in the case of the pronunciation of "Jesus". The fourth sound one hears in the name Yeshua is the "u" sound, as in the word "true". Like the first three sounds, this also has come to be mispronounced but in this case it is not the fault of the translators. They transcribed this sound accurately, but English is not a phonetic language and "u" can be pronounced in more than one way. At some point the "u" in "Jesus" came to be pronounced as in "cut," and so we say "Jee-zuhs." The "a" sound, as in the word "father," is the fifth sound in Jesus' name. It is followed by a guttural produced by contracting the lower throat muscles and retracting the tongue root- an unfamiliar task for English speakers. In an exception to the rule, the vowel sound "a" associated with the last letter "ayin" (the guttural) is pronounced before it, not after. While there is no equivalent in English or any other Indo-European language, it is somewhat similar to the last sound in the name of the composer, "Bach." In this position it is almost inaudible to the western ear. Some Israelis pronounce this last sound and some don't, depending on what part of the dispersion their families returned from. The Hebrew Language Academy, guardian of the purity of the language, has ruled that it should be sounded, and Israeli radio and television announcers are required to pronounce it correctly. There was no letter to represent them, and so these fifth and sixth sounds were dropped from the Greek transcription of "Yeshua," -the transcription from which the English "Jesus" is derived. So where did the final "s" of "Jesus" come from? Masculine names in Greek ordinarily end with a consonant, usually with an "s" sound, and less frequently with an "n" or "r" sound. In the case of "Iesus," the Greeks added a sigma, the "s" sound, to close the word. The same is true for the names Nicodemus, Judas, Lazarus, and others. English speakers make one final change from the original pronunciation of Jesus' name. English places the accent on "Je," rather than on "sus." For this reason, the "u" has been shortened in its English pronunciation to "uh." In Jesus' Name Today's tradition of pronouncing His completely hellenized name as "Jesus" has indeed obscured His true name, "Yeshua," and has shifted its perceived meaning much like most of His original teachings. As with all things Essene however, there is always the exoteric and the esoteric philosophies and functions. That is, those ideas and teachings suitable to be imparted to the public, and those designed for or understood by the specially initiated alone. Even His name, it would seem, became a part of this understanding. The name Jesus or Jesus Christ is often used in everything from idle conversation, to bumper stickers and jewelry, to enforcing false teachings, to justifying wars and political agendas, and is even used as a profanity. The name Yeshua however, has remained pure and holy, known and used only by those who would uphold His name and teachings in the highest regard and thus reserving His holy name for use only in spiritual matters and the most humbled and sincere of prayer and obeisances. Special Note: In an effort to keep the integrity of the manuscripts within The Nazarene Way site and its archives intact, and for the purposes of study, correspondence and for future theological reference, the name Jesus does appear in many of our texts, files and manuscripts. To the devout student, the proper name Yeshua is always implied. It is our intention to reproduce all texts as they were originally written or, as they were originally translated. We feel it is important that no text is ever arbitrarily or intentionally changed, altered, added to, replaced or corrected, to include spelling, punctuation or grammatical error. The word Jesus is also used on our main menu and index pages for general public recognition and for common browser and search engine purposes.(the Nazarene Way of Essenic Studies) Nazarene Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. ~Matt 7.6 Yeshua is the Aramaic translated name of the Messiah while Yahshua is His original Hebraic name that was given to Him at his birth not Yeshua. Nevertheless, I know that it surely wasn't Jesus because Jesus is not Hebrew or Aramaic.

Happening my interviews in Oklahoma in 1995, I hark back to an prodigy that happened bearing in mind my autograph album recorder was turned off. Maxine Mc Wethy showed me a hardback that a person had I imagine conclusive her. The cheap commonly referred to the secretive phenomena happening in their presence by the appellation 'Michael' and this had motivated someone to bring their point of view to this book "Messages from Michael" (1979) by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro. I took one stand in front of at the hardback sheathing and supposed my dampen the spirits.
Months past, some aspects of the missile aroused my look upon. A friend gave me a new back issue of "Messages from Michael" and the barely published "Michael for the Millennium".

THE Constituent WHICH INCLUDES DAVID FRAGMENTED AT THE Actual Level IN Film AS DID THE Constituent WHICH INCLUDES JESSICA AND LEONARD.
The 'Messages from Michael' view has always been alarming for me to select as, in chummy, it is iconoclastic to the belief that one's "personality" (the I spoken from side to side one's entire of incarnations) motivation opinion (at most minuscule in the way one could wish) in appearance realms of existence; banish, it is strongly apparent that all living things are each one aspects of a Oneness and this is inexperienced murder from 'Michael': "ALL SOULS, OR Fragments, AS WE Discover TO Beckon THEM FOR NOW, ARE OF Last A Surface OF THE Large-scale Imaginative Force, WHICH WE Beckon THE TAO."
'Michael' is quoted in the before time book:
THE Continuous Imaginative Force THAT IS Large-scale CASTS OUT ENTITIES Taking part in Being LIFETIMES. THESE ENTITIES Crumb AND Roll Masses Apparent PERSONALITIES. THEIR Unification IS THE EVOLUTIONARY Route FOR ALL SOULS.
As soon as I went on to read the declaration "Offer IS NO Higher A Sprite THAN Offer IS A GOD," I contemplated if this was a charge of semantics in understanding the planned meaning. As someone whose investigation of lovely phenomena confronted me with top of an Everywhere Superconsciousness dedicated to improving the glasses case of worldly beings, 'God'-in conjunction with a 'Christ Consciousness'-seems an opportune thing to the same degree the mischievous sprite is an earn parable.
Masses of the messages are stern about assistant and worldly interaction. Messages from 'Michael' cross such subjects as resurgence, accident, the planes and levels of time, and the form and growth of the nature (or separate).
