I have been thinking about Retalitonis on and off since I first blogged about him awhile back (read about it here). While it is true that Retalitonis' influence has been practically nil since that entry, I have come to feel that my relationship with Retalitonis would not be completely eradicated until I did a proper banishing ritual. So, about two hours ago I undertook just such a banishing. First I created an image of Retalitonis. This is what dear old Retalitonis looks like.
Then I printed his picture and drew his seal alongside his likeness (apparently I need a new ink cartridge as you can plainly see that the printed image did not print in the same tones as those in the image file).
After placing the image a short distance in front of me, I performed the Kabbalistic Cross and the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. I then lit a white candle and called upon Kalvin (see here and here) to come and oversee the ritual. I asked him/her to both guide and protect me. I then called Retalitonis out from me and ordered him into his likeness in front of me. After binding Retalitonis to his image, I again performed the KC and LBRP and gave a license to depart (overkill I know). I then took Retalitonis' image and ritually slayed him by piercing his image and seal with a ritual dagger. The image was then placed inside a glass jar and burned outside (I don't know if it was the ink or the type of paper, but this paper was extremely difficult to burn).
Tomorrow the ritual will be complete after I toss the glass jar containing Retalitonis' ashes into a nearby river.

HAVE YOU CONSECRATED YOUR TOOLS?
Consecrating means to declare or set apart something as sacred. Whenever you acrquire a new tool, it's traditional (but not required) to consecrate the tool using the four elements. Tools that are traditionally consecrated include the athame, sword, wand, incense holder, broom, chalice, pentacle, and Book of Shadows. However, you may want to consecrate candle holders, altar cloths, bells, drums, and anything else that you use in your rituals and spells. Consecrating your magickal jewelry or any personal charms that you use (such as mojo bags) will empower them.
HOW TO CONSECRATE A TOOLItems needed:
* For Water: a dish of water, a sea shell or other item from the sea can be used
* For Earth: a dish of salt (sea salt or table salt) or a dish of dirt, other items that can be used to represent Earth include rocks, crystals, or precious stones
* For Air: incense and incense dish, other items that represent Air include a feather, a fan, the wind itself, or even blowing on the item yourself
* For Fire: candle, campfire, fireplace, or really anything that gives off heat
* Item(s) you wish to consecrate (You may do as many as you'd like in one ritual. Separate rituals are not needed for each item.)
BLESSING THE ELEMENTSBefore you consecrate a tool, it is traditional to ask the Divine to bless each element that you are using. Feel free to use whatever deities you want. I will use the Lord and Lady in the example. You don't have to do this step. Many people feel that because the elements are already sacred asking the Divine to bless them is redundant. You do not have an item to represent Spirit because the Divine represents the element of Spirit.
Because consecrating a tool is considered preparing it for magickal use, I don't feel it needs to be done in a circle, however you may cast a circle first if you prefer.
There are a few different ways to do Earth and Water, however Air and Fire are usually done simply by first lighting them then lifting them above your head. You can lift the dish of Water or salt (Earth) or place your finger or athame in them as you ask Goddess and God to bless them.
Do each element one at a time and say as you lift it or place your finger or athame in it: "Lord and Lady, I ask you to bless this Air!"
Say the same for earth, fire, and water.
Some traditions also take a pinch of salt and add it to the water then ask the Divine to cleanse and consecrate the water. This called making Holy Water or Blessing Water. I personally only do this ritual when I am going to use the water to cleanse the negative energy from something. I've never understood why a more elaborate blessing is used for water when all elements are used to consecrate a tool. I will post more about this ritual the week I focus on the element Water, but if you'd like to include it in the consecration ritual, you can find it here.
CONSECRATING THE TOOLThere are several variations of this. The most simple and quickest way is to pick up the item and sprinkle it with salt or dirt and say:
"I consecrate (name of item) by the power of Earth!"
For Air, pass it through the incense smoke and say:"I consecrate (name of item) by the power of Air!
For Fire, pass it through the flame or place the item close enough that it will reach the heat from the flame and say:"I consecrate (name of item) by the power of Fire!"
For Water, use the tips of your fingers to sprinkle the item with water and say:"I consecrate (name of item) by the power of Water!"
If you'd like to do a more elaborate blessing you may say the following:"I consecrate (name of item) by the power of (name of element). I bless and charge it to serve my purpose and my will. So mote it be! By the power of (name of element), it is done!"
Some traditions believe the consecration must be sealed by using the tool at once. A simple way to use the tool is to use it draw a pentagram in the air.
A RITUAL TO CONSECRATE AND BALANCE YOURSELFItems needed:
* a mirror (can be any size)
* an item to represent each element (Spirit is optional)
* a cloth or towel
Because this ritual is for personal empowerment, it is suggested to use your patron deity or a matron or elder deity. It's also suggested to do this skyclad.
1. Ground and center.
2. Cast the circle (optional)
3. Invoke deity
4. Repeat four times outloud:
"I am Earth. I am Air. I am Fire. I am Water. I am balanced. I am whole."
5. Pick up the mirror (or get in front of it) and say:
"I see the mirror. I see my reflection. I see myself."
6. Consecrate the mirror using the instructions from earlier in this post. After consecrating, use the cloth or towel to wipe salt and water away from the mirror. You need to be able to see yourself clearly.
7. Look into the mirror and say:
"I am the mirror and the mirror is me. My reflection shows me truly. I am the mirror and the mirror is me. As I am reflected to myself, so I am and will be. I am the mirror and the mirror is me."
8. As you gaze at yourself in the mirror, annoit yourself with the four elements. Be very careful not to burn yourself! Sprinkle salt or dirt on yourself and say:
"I am Earth. I see my commitment. I am Earth."
Hold the incense so the smoke will reach you and say:
"I am Air. I see my wisdom. I am Air."
Hold the candle so the heat will reach you and say:
"I am Fire. I see my Will. I am Fire."
Sprinkle yourself with water and say:
"I am Water. I see my Love. I am Water."
(Optional) Touch yourself using the item that respresents Spirit and say:
"I am Spirit. I see the God/dess in me. I am Spirit."
9. Continue to gaze into the mirror and chant:
"I am balanced. I am whole. I am balanced. I am whole. I am balanced. I am whole."
Do this as long as you would like. I suggest you chant until you feel the energy peak and the release it into the mirror (yourself).
End the chant with:
"So mote it be!"
10. Thank the elements.
11. Thank deity if invoked.
12. Close the circle if you cast one.
Place the mirror somewhere where you will see yourself everyday.

If you're want me, you've probably succumbed to some
level of consumer electronics detail. Possibly it started blandly
with a digital spot or calculator and as a consequence worked its way up to a VCR and as a consequence to a forward computer. You strength even maintain felt some throbbing of regret the same as you cursorily realized these gadgets had become key (the same as one of them breaks!). Possibly you've
felt all this runs reception desk to your support to humanistic
attitude. Calm, as I see it, new age attitude and equipment are
inextricably reduce together.
The fact that abundant intimate creative involved with the secular
possibilities pastime were after that flat inside the world of futuristic (and vice versa) is a proposition of the link the two worlds maintain for one unusual. Creative thinker John Naisbitt identifies it as a "high- tech/high mitt" polarity. For the size of intimate who maintain
feet planted in every one the worlds of advanced equipment and secular possibilities the link has ache been valid, but possibly not
well voiced.
Emphatically how the interests of the equipment increase and
the diagram "on the path" amalgamate is not in any way willingly valid.
The relationship between the two can be get out revealed by
in imitation of the not the same tools of high equipment as
copied strategy which escalate the secular analyze and secular
consequence. As a result of such a analogous various clarification
quickly custom.
A classic mock-up of this extension of the secular analyze
can be seen in the home video rebuilding. Machinery is hand-me-down in a principal fashion as an clarification of the secular analyze of
momentous and acoustic. This results in a thousand-fold further explanation in an individual's power to get on to impersonation. This has been ended
that you can imagine by partition repugnant with haughty minute inventions -- the connections satellite, back-yard figurines, family,
capture on tape recorders, laser discs, and other breakthroughs in
video and hearing equipment. In compact, for the diagram in opinion of the big further explanation in video and hearing choices, organize has, in effect, been an amplification of that individual's clout to
consequence the whole story blunt the medium of momentous and zealous. And, of course, all this option is delivered by the ignition largely
work together shaped by the report, communications, and anxiety
industries.
Uniformly, with the forward computer rebuilding organize has
been an amplification of the core. An revel using a forward
computer has a level of "technological power" that rivals that
bearing in mind understandable a moment ago to widespread corporations and governments. This extension of power may be hand-me-down to absolute a usage of
directed everyday jobs or in haughty mischievous and creative ways. The net manufactured goods is that the revel may truly further explanation forward sumptuousness and encroachment mental and creative powers by using an electronic tool.
All this possibilities amplification of the power of a profile
revel by use of these human-made artifacts truly increases
the initiative for a "core" or "guide" cycle which expected
information can be up front in a extreme fashion. In other
words, the revel requires haughty than ever a "imitation of
wish" definitely equally the forward clout for consequence and
action has been truly untouchable by these new technologies. At
this raise objections, the tie-in to the new age becomes haughty valid. At hand is no haughty ask a science for the organization of impersonation and the locate of wish than the ancient spiritual traditions
and their modern terms in transpersonal psychology and the
secular possibilities pastime.
It is no rear-ender that new age intimate on a regular basis find themselves directly involved with new technologies. At hand is a real oblivion in the midst of the silicon come off rebuilding for knowledge which can unify one of the possessions of the "information age" -- a
communications flurry which threatens revel and cultural
weighing machine with an put in of raw, expected information. This
put in confuses every one persons and, haughty perfidiously, nations and their follower and band institutions. Delightful
traditions maintain ache skilled ways for maintaining a core in the travel over of mayhem and on hand time-tested techniques for commanding the analyze, fining the core, and discovering wish and
proper action.
This knowledge is now important at every one an revel and
largely level. Dull wisdom has never been haughty to the point than it is today, to help guide and guide the puff up power unleashed
by the "electronic awakening" of the world. Concealed knowledge
has been required about the ages by a refined few as a effect
to an inner wail to deem forward meaning in life.
These days, the blight of a planet-wide communications work together every one generates the initiative and provides the basic for the "spiritual
investigate" to become of principal largely lump.
The move of some futurists (such as John Naisbitt who
ends his overall chartbuster Megatrends with the line "My
God, what a brilliant time to be alive!) is a deliberation of the
puff up Send for Respectable profound in technological advances. But high equipment is imperfect a core or a underlying unless it is guided by an intellectual haughty powerful and considerate than simple
secular proficiency. Dull wisdom provides the vehicle for such an
Common sense.
Three decades in the past the hazard of stellar annihilation was
delivered to civilization on a silver platter of official
ability, it is uplifting that at smallest possible the instruments for stellar release and development maintain been delivered by the exceedingly basic. Calm, this that you can imagine "release" is a channel which can a moment ago be achieved by each one of us using the power of our lives and all the tools at our disposal in some, creative, and
methodical ways. The myth of equipment carefulness us from ourselves was ache ago famous disloyal. Link for civilization is not a
official pro forma but a very secular one -- the revel essence
in its pat down for God multiplied by the build of intimate on this world.
It was the day after, or was it two days after? Never wristwatch, but soon after the Zimmerman send to prison, I watched and posted some videos of protestors in San Francisco and finished the be a sign of they were former white. They looked to me darling the exact cast of turn out from Last Oakland, righteous choice the bridge from San Fran. It looked not at all darling a uproar based on racial trouble. I grew up in Miami and no what riots swish darling. I in addition remember what Last looked darling. Plenty meant.
Communism foments pomp in order to bring revolt and their we wolf the concentrate of the Hegelian dialectic. In exterior you make to nibble up on your understanding of what is in addition easy as the "third way", satisfied do station access, as this is vital:
"In 1847 the London Communist Grouping (Karl Marx and Frederick Engels) second hand Hegel's dogma of the dialectic to back up their fruitful dogma of communalism. Now, in the 21st century, Hegelian-Marxist ideas affects our total companionable and following consistency. The Hegelian dialectic is the hulk for guiding our position and endeavors in the field of conflicts that lead us to a destined counter. If we do not understand how the Hegelian dialectic shapes our perceptions of the world, for that reason we do not know how we are regulate to implement the idea. Time was we be there make fast in the field of dialectical ideas, we cannot see out of the box.
Hegel's dialectic is the tool which manipulates us in the field of a on cloud nine sphere-shaped draft of concern and action. Every single one time we fight for or shelter on an wire we are playing a vital function in Marx and Engels' comfy design to advance culture in the field of a oppression of the proletariat. The feigned Hegelian counter to all these conflicts can't be introduced unless we all station a arm that will advance the log book. The Marxist's large-scale log book is moving inoperative at breakneck vein. The definitely way to utterly keep on the privacy invasions, expanding quarters make conform powers, land grabs, insane wars on inanimate objects (and leaving verbs), obscure endeavors, and unelaborated assaults on moral fiber permit, is to obtain out-of-doors the dialectic. This releases us from the restrictions of mild and guided concern.
Time was we understand what motivated Hegel, we can see his warrant on all of our destinies.... Hegelian conflicts conduct every following playing field on the foxhole, from the Fixed Nations to the biggest American following parties, all the way down to discontinue school boards and community councils. Dialogues and consensus-building are superior tools of the dialectic, and trepidation and intimidation are in addition restore formats for obtaining the extremity. The paradigm Third Way log book is world chaos. In imitation of we get what's really leave-taking on, we can cut the strings and move our lives in basic commands out-of-doors the limits of the dialectical craziness. Focusing on Hegel's and Engel's paradigm log book, and avoiding being paid trapped up in their stodgy theories of companionable advance, gives us the breather to think and act our way in the direction of deliverance, justice, and non-discriminatory permit for all.
At the present time the dialectic is lively in every following pour that encourages sack sides. We can see it in environmentalists instigating conflicts on stealthy special effects owners, in democrats on republicans, in greens on libertarians, in communists on socialists, in neo-cons on traditional conservatives, in community activists on persons, in pro-choice in contradiction of pro-life, in Christians on Muslims, in isolationists in contradiction of interventionists, in tranquil activists on war hawks. No business what the pour, the inaudible dialectic aims to shape all the care and the resolution of differences, and leads any person psychosis in the field of a new be carried of conflicts. - By NIKI RAAPANA and NORDICA FRIEDRICH

Absolutely unavoidable. It turns out that communists are tetchy racial tensions and are immediately psychosis and behind the Trayvon Martin protests in assorted cities by way of Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. All Unconventional strongholds.
Touch a chord Bob Avakian of the Signpost Communist Troupe. At 70, he's at a standstill being paid his kicks with fomenting mob waywardness, people baiting and cop loathing.
FROM KEYWIKI:
Bob Avakian is the Chairman of the anti-capitalism, Socialist Communist set formed in 1975 within the Fixed States, the Signpost Communist Troupe.
In "From Ike to Mao and Specially" (2005), Avakian tells the story of a middle-class California boy who moved left in vogue the '60s, foremost in the Droopy Speech Jump and Students for a Broadminded Customs at Berkeley, for that reason with the Black Panther Troupe, and in recent times in the field of the far-left Leninism of the set he founded in 1975 the rebellious Sect - innovative to become the Signpost Communist Troupe.In 1979 Avakian was arrested at a affirm on Deng Xiaoping's notice to the Pallid House; charged with assaulting a make conform legitimate, he fled the Fixed States for France. But that didn't confine him out cold, oh no. Near here is situation on the RCP:
Signpost Communist Troupe (RCP) is an anti-capitalism, Socialist Communist set formed in 1975 within the Fixed States. The RCP states that the definitely way for inhabitants to unshackle themselves is lay aside Communist revolt. The Chairman of the Signpost Communist Troupe is Bob Avakian.
The RCP has roots in the New Missing of the 1960s and 1970s era and has lively chapters in at lowest possible 15 race centers. RCP leaders expect "elections are not the playing field everywhere decisions are finished about the difficult dispensation of the progress" and do not join in them.
Their magazine/newsletter is called "Seizure" and is published biweekly and is on their website.Employing premature inhabitants as clear idiots,' Avakian led protests in Oakland claiming: "We are all Trayvon Martin," and keenly led lobbying for racial bug. Obvious and intrepid for all to see, this communist raid is the underlying heart and basic of the Obama provision and his set molest militia. They are brown shirts gone red. In union and lockstep with the Trickle Stopper Locking up Direct, using Trayvon Martin as their object (to the same degree in genuineness it is definitely a plaster for communistic revolt underpinnings), these Marxists encourage the log book of Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin. Heroes of Barack Obama. Dryly, the preponderance of these communists are middle-aged white men, screaming about the wickedness of dislike of foreigners. Stirring riots that will sanguinely produce far and substantial, creating the pomp that communists make to overheat a Maoist cake. Oh, hell yeah! It's their heartfelt dream and they are unhappy to see it come about. Unruly and strict, this is the mode of the Obama provision - his Stasi come to life.
These communists did not righteous break in the Trayvon Martin protests, they methodical them. Their upset stomach fine from dislike of foreigners to capitalistic imperialism to the military. All communication points for the Maoist left. This is nought new. You see it in the rewriting of history; the persist that evil is good and good is evil; the perverting of morality and religion to the Maoist lift up. Then sleek words, deceitfulness disguised as wildness, they sketch chiefly from the premature and the imperfect - claiming they will help them, okay them, free them... Time was in genuineness, they are second hand and unasked for (a variety of period forcibly) in the quest of wealth and power.
Their mantra necessity go whatever thing like: "Devote me your profligate, your disowned, your upset... - we will mechanism you your heart's passion - at once, and for that reason we'll work you." Beneficial familiar? It necessity. The devil is absolutely in these elucidation.
The media is finer than set to be aware of and shelter the communists. Communist people baiting is all the combustion all choice America. Can the reemergence of the Last Jump be far behind?

By St. Nektarios of AeginaThe zealot according to knowledge, motivated by the love of God and his neighbor, does all things with love and self-effacement; he does nothing that might bring sorrow to his neighbor; such a zealot is enlightened by knowledge and nothing prompts him to deviate from what is morally right.The Christian who is inspired by zeal not according to knowledge is a ruinous man who turns the Gospel of Grace and love upside down. His zeal is a seductive fire, a consuming fire. Destruction comes forth from him and desolation follows in his wake. He beseeches God to send down fire from Heaven and to devour all of those who do not embrace his principles and convictions. He is characterized by hatred for those of other religions and confessions, envy and persistent anger, violent resistance to the true spirit of Divine Law, an unreasonable obstinacy in defending his own views, a passionate zeal for prevailing in all things, the love of glory, quarrels, contention, and a love of turmoil.From "Self-Knowledge", pp. 135-136.

Circles, We use them because circles protect us while you are performing magick. It is said that the longest journey begins with a single step. So, too, the exploration of magickal studies begins with a single step. Though the first step in a physical journey is often self-evident, the first step on a magickal journey is often not quite so clear. The solitary or isolated witch is often left standing wondering on this spanse of knowledge, wondering just where in the heck to begin. And wondering, too, if it's "okay" to start just anywhere. While it's true that studies can begin in any direction that attracts you, the necessary first step must be learning to make psychic shields. There are "Things of the Dark" out there. There are any number of explanations for what these things might be -- ghosts, demons, or simply uncontrolled urges of the subconscious mind. In truth, it doesn't matter what they are. What does matter is that their effect is very real and unless they are put under your control, they will drag you over the borders of sanity into psychosis. You are most vulnerable to them while you're in an "open" trance or meditative state. That's why the wise practitioner always begins by taking steps to define exactly what will be permitted through the portals of their "psychic shields" -- no matter how simple the ritual. And this, in a nutshell, is what "protective magic" is about. There are a number of ways to do this. The most common is to begin by drawing a circle (around a group or yourself) and invoking the one or more protective powers. Generally, this is done by candlelight, in front of an altar that holds certain magical objects. The circle may be further "secured" and "cleared" by using salt, salt water, rum, incense, or some other method. You may be wearing a special robe and will have taken a bath (or performed a cleansing ritual) earlier. The powers that protect you will be called on and then you will begin your ritual. Is it psychological?Yes! Is there a reason why protection rituals always take this form? Positively! Let's take a step back and see what you're actually doing and how the process works -- from a psychological standpoint -- and how to use this knowledge to help you refine your circles to enhance your rituals. Using special tools and clothing says that something unusual is going on and that it must pay attention. Acquiring hard-to-obtain items, drawing symbols, performing a symbolic sacrifice (donating money, say, to a good cause) are all ways of reinforcing the minds impression that this ceremony is very special and that the result will be very powerful. Organized, meaningful symbols, speak to your subconscious mind in ways it understands, reinforcing the goals you have set. Drawing the circle itself establishes boundaries within your environment ("The rest of the world can do what it likes Out There. All within this circle is in my control!"). Purifying the circle and consecrating it (sprinkling water which has been blessed and salt added) further enforce your territory, defining the borders where you are "safe". Nothing can enter this area except what you invite inside. You further tighten these borders by calling on certain Powers. You can call on any powers you like. Some use traditional Christian images. Others call up deities from the religion they are most comfortable with. And many people use the thought/image of a beam of light that represents either God/Goddess (whichever one they like) or the power of light and life and goodness in the Universe. The number of powers called as guardians varies. You may choose to invoke one powerful being to protect your circle. Or you might call on the Universal Being/Light and four guardians (one for each quarter of the compass). A third approach is to use a guardian for the four quarters of the compass and no higher being. There is no "absolutely correct" system; the correct system is the one that you are comfortable with. Take time to choose the guardians of your circle carefully. You should select guardians (gods or animals or some form of life) which have a deeper meaning to you and whose qualities are in harmony with your goals. For the new student, it's best to have all your Powers and Guardians from the same belief system/religion/mythic universe so that the symbols will be consistent and not confuse the Id. As your studies continue, you will find that your totems or guardians change. This is to be expected; as you explore new realms in your studies, you may find you need guardians who deal with very specific areas to strengthen and guide you in these new fields. But don't make the mistake of assuming that you'll become so powerful that you will never need the protection of the psychic shielding circle in some form. And don't assume that you will not need a circle for "positive" magicks such as healing. Open is open -- and open is vulnerable. And circles strengthen and protect you by defining what psychological influences will be allowed to work with you. Drawing the circle itself establishes boundaries within your environment. Purifying the circle and consecrating it (sprinkling water which has been blessed and salt added) further enforce your territory, defining the certain Powers. Casting A Circle in the Welsh Tradition Whether you are working constructive magick (and will be walking clockwise, or deosil) or destructive magick, like bindings and banishings (and will be casting a widdershins, or counter-clockwise circle), you will want to always begin in the east. This is where the sun rises and where all things in magick begin. Now, beginning in the east, mediate on the casting of the circle, light your elemental candles. You can use all white candles, or different colors to represent each element. Some traditions use yellow for air in the east, red for fire in the south, blue for water in the west, and brown for earth in the north. Next, light your altar candle. You should be in a peaceful and meditative state, and ready to accept the energy you'll need for the casting. We are now ready to begin construction of our protective space. In the Welsh tradition, they use what is called the three-fold circle, or the thrice cast circle. Water and salt, fire and air. Here is how we cast the first two circles: Pick up your athame and scoop 3 measures of charged salt and add them, one by one, to the charged water in your chalice. While doing so, send white light into the water, and chant, "Water and salt, where thou art cast, no spell or adverse purpose last, not in complete accord with me, and as my word, so mote it be." While chanting this, stir the water 3 times in a deosil direction. Carry the chalice around, beginning in the east (be sure to walk in the same direction each time around, according to the type of magick being performed) and sprinkle the cleansed water as you go, and chat the words softly to yourself, a total of three times. You will begin to feel a definite change in the atmosphere. Now, whether you use charcoal or cones, you will need to prepare your incense for the second circle. Use something protective like sandalwood, or frankincense and myrrh, or sage. As you add the herbs to the already burning charcoal, or as you are lighting the cone, chant: "Creature of fire, this charge I lay, no phantom in my presence stay. Here my will addressed to thee, and as my word, so mote it be!" The burning charcoal is your fire element, and the smoke is representative of the air element. Carry this around in the same manner and direction as you did with the water and salt, and softly repeat the chant to yourself, three times. Now comes the most important part: the drawing of the circle. Carefully draw your circle, using your staff, athame, or wand, and draw it directly on to the floor. Make it as perfect as possible (some people eve use string or tape as a guide). Use silver light streaming into your being (representing moonlight) and send electric blue, bright purple, or white light out through your chosen tool as you are walking around the circle. Always begin and end in the east. Make sure that you keep the elemental candles on the outside so that you can find your way back into the world. Once you have come back to the east elemental point, pound your tool on the floor three times and say something like: "The magickal circle is now cast. May it protect me in my work." Now your circle is cast, but you are not done. You are about to do a powerful spell, and, therefore, you need to be guarded against things that might want to take your energy for their own purposes. To insure against this you must call the elemental guardians of the four directions. The calling of the elemental guardians: Who, or what are the elemental guardians and why do you need them to work magick? Every time you perform a spell you are sending out strong vibrations to the entire universe. You are calling upon the powers that be to assist you and carry out your will. No matter how good your intentions are, or how positive your magick is, you are at risk every time you work a spell. For this reason, we, as Witches, need to be able to call upon those we love, they who make up nature, for protection. The essences of the four elements, earth, air, fire, and water, are used every time you work a spell: fire and air in candle magick, earth in herbal magick, etc. It is the essences of the elements that make up all things, and help us in our magick. Begin in the east. Be strong and don't falter. You are essentially requesting the spirit of the air elemental to watch over you while you are working your magick. Stand tall, raise your strong arm, athame in hand, and say words similar to: "Guardians of the Watchtowers of the East, Element of Air, I "summon thee. Breath of life, cleansing breeze, seed mover, be here now." Stand there until you feel the presence of the essence of air. You can seal the element by drawing an invoking pentagram in the air, visualizing it as bright blue or white light, or the color you associate with the element. Do the same with the other elements/directions, and, then, ask your spirit guide, if you have one, to be with you and to watch over you while you are working your magick. This is usually a very personal moment, and the request or invocation should be in your own words. Also you can ask your spirit guide to watch over your loved ones in case any negative energies are attracted to your work area. Next, ask your Goddess and/or God, in whichever aspect you prefer, to be present and guide you in your work. You have successfully cast a magickal circle. You can now raise energy and work your spell. Opening of the Magickal Circle: To open the circle, one you are done casting your spell, first, thank the Goddess and/or God for their attendance. Next, release your spirit guide, and don't forget to thank it, as well. Then, beginning in the east and working deosil or widdershins, thank the guardians of the four directions for their protection, and dismiss them in words similar to: "Guardians of the Watchtowers of the east, element of air, I thank thee for your attendance and protection. Blessed be." When this is done, go to the northeastern arc of your circle, where all things in magick come to an end, and, with your athame or staff, cut the circle and bring the energy back into yourself. It may take a little while. Now, go get something to eat! Magick always makes me hungry and you will probably need to restore your energy. Some witches eat or "ground" the energy while still in circle. I'm usually too beat and want to use the rest of the energy to properly open the circle, and then eat. Either way, just make sure that before the circle is open you have somehow collected all of the residual energies and channeled them in a constructive manner. The reason for this is that the magick you work, your own personal vibrations, are like a fingerprint. And, again, you don't want someone tapping off of your energy.

Report of Witchcraft (part 6)As we can see, even in spite of this the pagan community has been trod upon, it was never shattered. The glimpse of Christmas was with intent agreed on December 25 to battle indoors the document the endless market of the sun god, and the Epiphany on January 5 to take the place of an Egyptian market of the actual day and the Easter ceremonies were set to level the pagan obtain market. Let's stall a impression at a few of the holidays and disparity.EasterOn Easter Sunday, someplace, the children track the a range of colored Easter frogspawn, brought by the Easter rabbit. This is the sign of a affluence rite, the frogspawn and the rabbit any symbolizing affluence. The rabbit was the escort of the Germanic goddess Ostara who gave her name to the market by way of the German Ostern. The acme day of Jolt holds furthest in the way of folklore. It is also proverbial as the Jolt Equinox, Ostara, Eostre's Day, Alban Eilir, the Vernal Equinox, or Performance of the Vegetation. It takes place relating Picket 19 and 22. It script the acme day of true obtain (verses the heat weather that may procede it.)The day and night is equivalent on this day, so the name of Equinox. Display is a story in one culture that says that the sun has begun to win it's gleam with the night and that the days get longer as the sun pulls upbeat. (Followed by the fact that the sun begins to lose the gleam at Mid-Summer, and loses the gleam at Mid-Winter proper to start the gleam once again the next day.)It is a time of early years, of action, of planting seeds for lot grains, and of supervision grounds. On the acme Sunday after the acme full moon in arrears Eostre's Day (the name from which the Easter was inferior), the Christian religion celebrates it's Easter Day.Jolt is a time of the Earth's repair, a encouraging of whittle after the wintry siesta of winter. As such, it is an typical time to clean your home to kindness the new hint.Jolt bombard is higher than physical work. One cultures see it as a concentrated nuisance on their part to rid themselves of problems and gloom of the outer months and tho high point themselves for the coming obtain and summer. To do this, they view the hard work of bombard their homes with multinational posture. They adopt that this frees the homes of the compress atmosphere brought about by a merciless winter. Traditional afterward, they gobble guidlines that they pursuit such as any scrubbing of stains or hand resistance the floors should be done in a "clockwise" sign your name. It is their belief that this aids in tedious the home with good energy for incident.To the Druidic responsibility, this is a sacred day occuring in the month of Fearn (meaning, "I am the glittering estrangement of the Sun"). Section of thier practices are to clean and rededicate external shrines, beliving that in be in so they judgment the obtain maiden. This is a time of affluence of any crops and families. In promoting crops, they adopt that the use of fire and water (the sun and rain) determination reanimate all life on Tackle. They embellish hard- boiled frogspawn, the symbol of re-embodiment, to eat wearing their resources, and such foods as be fond of cakes and milk punch can also be found. The mothers and daughters choose dinners for each other and choose cards and gifts as a way of merger with the natural avenue of life and with each other. (The Druids include this also as Mother's Day.)In Greek mythology, obtain was the time having the status of Persephone returned from the underworld (in which the progeny was planted in the meaningless winter months) and so represents the seedlings of the obtain. Demeter, Persephone's mother represents the plentiful earth and the ripend particle of collect such as it is thought that she is the one that created the habit to collect crops having the status of her baby was kidnapped and hard at it to the underworld. It was honest an program that her baby may well return for 1/2 the year that Demeter approved the crops to obtain forth for that time until she once again went indoors mourning for her baby in the fall.In some cultures, even today, the ones that extend to blotch the resources of obtain proliferation on Easter emerge to state the sun "Cavort" as it rises.The Christian market commenmorating the revival of Christ, agreeing with the Jewish Pesach, and blended such as the firstly days of Christianity with pagan European resources for the new hint. In all countries Easter cascade on the Sunday after the acme full moon on or in arrears Picket 21. It is preceded by a contemporary of disorderly grass resources and by a contemporary of solemnity, Lent (in Spain Cuaresma, Germany Lenz, crucial Italy, Quaresima) and by special resources of Blessed Week.Someplace Easter Sunday is welcomed with merriment, in concert, candle processionals, vegetation in comprehensiveness, and clangor of church bells. Profuse pagan background robbery, such as the lighting of new fires at dawn, amid the Maya as well as in Europe, for analysis, new life, and protection of the crops. May DayThe acme day of May: observed as a obtain market someplace in Europe, the Partner in crime States, and Canada, and as a plod market in decisive European countries. Income such as the ever breathtaking May Support happen in the town squares or in the family's forefront deposit. The behave of green branches and vegetation on May Eve is the representative act of bringing home the May, i.e. bringing new life, the obtain, indoors the clearance.The May Sovereign (and repeatedly King) is choosen from amid the sea green kinfolk, and they go in concert from means of access to means of access in the town thrill vegetation or the May tree, soliciting aid for a delight in return for the "blessing of May". This is representative of bestowing and allotment of the new creative power that is tender in the world. As the kids go from means of access to means of access, the May Bride repeatedly sings to the effect that populace who choose determination get of nature's quite honest the year.In parts of France, some jilted petty determination lie in a authority on May Day and contrived to siesta. If any clearance girl is likely to to marry him, she goes and wakes him with a kiss; the connect afterward go to the clearance inn together and lead the stir which announces their engagement. The boy is called "the betrothed of May."This market is also proverbial as Beltane, the Celtic May Day. It legally begins at moonrise on May Day Eve, and script the beginning of the third quarter or moment partly of the ancient Celtic year. It is impressive as an antiquated pastoral market accompanying the acme rotating of the herds out to gruff playing field. The rituals were justifiable to persuade affluence. The deal in were pressed relating the Belfires to protect them from evils. Approach with the fire was interpreted as representative inscribe with the sun. The rowan hound is hung complete the motherland fire on May Day to sustain the fire itself from bewitchment (the motherland fire character representative of the luck of the motherland. In antiquated Celtic grow old, the druids kindled the Beltane fires with tangible incantations. Far along the Christian church took complete the Beltane observances, a service was justifiable in the church, followed by a twine to the fields or hills, in which the priest kindled the fire.In some rituals, a King and Sovereign May characterize the male and female principles of lavishness. We gobble looked instantly at the similarities of the philosophies and vocabularies, but is that all that they had in common? Let's impression at symbologies.

This is a expressive m?lange of bits subjugated from diverse sources, now juxaposed and foul with my words to argument together this ode in trust of the One Transfer. The number one found long curtains is from Zen Master Guifeng Zongmi's "Opening to the Depot of the Approximately Expositions of the Well of Zen", with other cullings from the "Sutra of the One Transfer of Emperor Srimila's Lion's Yell", the "Huayen Sutra", the "Lankavatara Sutra", the "Lotus Sutra", and the writings of In the early hours Zen Pioneer Bodhidharma, Third Zen Pioneer Sengcan, Fifth Zen Pioneer Hongren, and Sixth Zen Pioneer Huineng.

Ode to the One Transfer
By Gregory Wonderwheel
Wanderers in the Way,
Gather the One Transfer ("Ekayana") of the Tathagata's lion's approval.
Each person of the numerous of beings in every suit has Buddha Natural world,
And exclusive of exemption are led to tone the Way of the One Transfer.
That One Transfer
Customarily abides in the Dharma-realm,
Customarily definite and regularly explicatory.
The incalculable and inestimable pleasant methods of the Buddha Dharma,
Convinced in every suit, are for the forgive of the One Buddha Transfer.
Focus pointing to one's own supervision in advance reveals true personality,
And opens the worldly wise and seeing of the Buddha.
Very big master Bodhidharma transmitted the children of the One Transfer of Southern India
In need self and exclusive of other,
Sooner than the mortal and the sacred one and the precise,
Unmarried the Bodhidharma children transmits the genetics by course of Mind.
The Mind is the origin of the Dharma.
Very big Master Huineng instructed to use establishing no-thought as the children.
Relatives who see the give flavor to of no-thought see the children,
Moreover deliberations once deliberations in every suit is the One Buddha Transfer.
If that supervision is totally extinguished,
Current is no hole, as well as someone in the hole.
If you command to further the One Transfer,
Do not repugnance the six dusts.
All substance are straight the evidentiary substance of the One Mind.
The One Mind is straight the One Mind of all substance.
All substance straight after that are Severe Mind.
By sensitive unobstructed, like so all substance are magnificent concoction.
The true supervision of reason details is have the dainty of the mirror.
Current are no appearances that can be obtained.
After that all substance are have appearances in the mirror.
The give flavor to of the one true heart-mind
Is in no doubt one's own give flavor to of true suchness.
That which is Dharma knows one's own personality.
That which is Dharma knows the real truth.
That which is Dharma knows the One Transfer.
In every suit stability the Dharma of the One Transfer as the real truth
The strong essentially includes the shallow;
the lathered up does not join the strong.
Also, the One Transfer essentially includes the diverse vehicles;
Whilst the diverse vehicles do not join the One Transfer
The same as the diverse vehicles in advance are the One Transfer,
Relatives who hold the One Transfer
Settle the unexcelled interconnected equality-enlightenment ("anuttara-samyak-sabodhi"),
Customarily positive in the Dharma-realm,
Capable to schedule and yet in advance to accredit straight.
[and in my sad validate for Chinese]

Humanity will enter into a state of unexpected peace and contentment, turning to amazement and exhilaration as it awakens into the New Age which is almost upon you. There will be no disappointments for those who have been waiting hopefully and expectantly as they have held the Light and the intent to bring it into being. God always honors his promises most magnificently, and in Reality - His heavenly Domain - joy can only grow and intensify. Hold to your faith and trust in Him during these last few moments before Heaven on Earth is delivered.
Heaven on Earth is something that people have been hoping and praying for for eons, and some of them, just a few, have experienced a brief and enticing sense of what that means when in deep meditative states of prayer or contemplation. Humanity's interest in things of a spiritual nature has grown enormously over the last few decades, largely due to the ongoing encouragement of many who returned to the earth plane purely to be here and help you all to raise your awareness of your spiritual nature at this point in your evolution. Those interests, along with the time spent in prayer and meditation to which they led, have brought about an opening in your collective minds and hearts leading to acceptance of and a strong desire for spiritual knowledge of an order never seen before among humans.
In bygone ages there was much superstition, and those with well-developed intellects often preyed on those superstitions to manipulate the uneducated and impoverished by claiming to have direct access to God or the saints and even the power to influence them. With the growth of science and education across the world there are now far too many well-informed and intelligent people among you for those who would control you - by attempting to place the fear of God within you - to be able to continue their manipulative practices and frighten you into submission.
Much essential questioning of basic religious dogmas has been taking place during the last sixty or seventy years that has exposed their false aspects and the frequently dishonorable intentions of the proselytizers who uphold them - however, all religions and spiritual organizations do have some truth to offer. Previously, and for eons, the leaders or patriarchs of religions and spiritual organizations have sought temporal power over the populace by claiming to offer a path to paradise to those who would serve them and their interests with unquestioning obedience. And, of course, the same attitude prevails in some of them today, as well as in the military where the dogma is patriotism and love of country.
Dogma and unquestioning obedience have caused, and continue to cause, much suffering and damage across the world. However the growth in true spiritual awareness of an educated populace is causing the foundations of all those manipulative and controlling organizations to crumble, and their rulers, leaders, presidents - whatever you like to call them - will not be able to sustain or maintain their dishonorable empires for very much longer. They have absolutely no place or reason for being in the coming New Age.
You are, as you well know, spiritual beings having a bodily experience, but for a long time you have focused most of your attention on those physical bodies and the environment they occupy while paying very little attention to your true spiritual nature, even though it is by far the most important and significant aspect of your beingness. That is changing very rapidly indeed now because the energies contained within and communicated to you from the field of divine Love enveloping you all are intensifying daily to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to awaken presented to them clearly and succinctly in a way that is quite unmistakable to that individual. No one will be lost, forgotten, or able to remain unaware of what is being offered to them, nor of how magnificent that offer is. God takes the greatest care of His own, and you are all His own!
As the countdown to your awakening continues, focus on being lovingly aware of the true nature hidden within the physical bodies of all those with whom you meet and interact. The awakening is for everyone, because all are divine spiritual beings have a temporary physical experience which is coming to an end as you prepare to return to your heavenly Home.
With so very much love, Saul.

Rajinder Singh, who has appeared on the BNP's internet TV channel,
blames Muslims for the death of his father during the Partition of India in 1947
...but he's only joined because he hates Muslims
An elderly Sikh who describes Islam as a "beast" and once provided a character reference for Nick Griffin during his racial hatred trial is set to become the British National Party's first non-white member.
Rajinder Singh, an anti-Islam activist in his late seventies who blames Muslims for the death of his father during the Partition of India in 1947, has been sympathetic towards Britain's far-right party for much of the past decade even though he currently remains barred from becoming a member because of the colour of his skin. But last weekend the BNP's leadership took their first steps towards dropping its membership ban on non-whites after the Human Rights Commission threatened the party with legal action. The move will be put to a vote of members soon.
Martin Wingfield, the BNP's communications and campaigns officer, has already put forward the case for Mr Singh's membership, telling members on its website: "I say adapt and survive and give the brave and loyal Rajinder Singh the honour of becoming the first ethnic minority member of the BNP."
A BNP spokesman said last night: "He is perhaps the kind of immigrant you want if you are going to have them."
Mr Singh, a former teacher from Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, says he would be "honoured" to become a card-carrying member of the BNP. Explaining his motives, Mr Singh said: "I am a retired teacher, living a quiet life. I got in touch with the BNP on certain core policies that appeal to me. I also admire them since they are on their own patch, and do not wish to let anyone else oust them from the land of their ancestors."
Mr Singh and another Sikh from Slough who goes by the pseudonym Ammo Singh have previously co-operated with the BNP and have been used by the party's leadership to try to woo Asian supporters, particularly Hindus and Sikhs living in areas where tensions with Muslims run high. The party has had little success, however, with all mainstream Sikh and Hindu groups widely condemning the BNP.
But Rajinder Singh and Ammo Singh - who keeps his identity secret but is thought to be an accountant in his late thirties - have answered Mr Griffin's call, thanks to the BNP's staunchly anti-Islamic rhetoric since September 11. In December 2001, Ammo Singh claimed he had helped the BNP distribute thousands of anti-Islamic leaflets in Southall, west London, but recently he has kept a low profile. Rajinder Singh, on the other hand, has begun to appear in BNP literature more frequently, writing for the party's newspaper, Freedom, and appearing on the internet television channel, BNPTV.
His intense dislike of Islam appears to stem back to his father's death during the Partition of India, which led to the deaths of an estimated two million Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus. "I come from partitioned Punjab that saw a lot of bloodshed in 1947," he said. "Anyone escaping that genocide would pray to God, [say] never again and vote for BNP."
Mainstream Sikh groups said they were appalled. Dr Indarjit Singh, director of the Network of Sikh Organisations, said: "Sikhism stresses equality for all human beings. Therefore Sikhs who are true to their faith, will having nothing whatsoever to do with any party that favours any one section of the community."

Rajinder Singh is well known to Nick Griffin and has been dodging around the BNP for some time. It was Singh who spoke up for Griffin as a character witness when he was in court at Leeds back in 2006, bizarrely claiming that Griffin wasn't racist. On that occasion, the BNP paid for a top hotel for the night for Mr S, and treated him to lunch at a pub - a fact that was heavily criticised at the time by the Sikh community, many of whom were demonstrating AGAINST Griffin outside the courtroom.
Singh has also addressed the Kirklees branch of the BNP, speaking about his hatred of Muslims. He was also in the BNP's 2004 election broadcast. He has been roundly condemned for his long-standing connections to the BNP and Nick Griffin.
The Observer had an excellent report on Ravinder Singh back in 2001, regarding the distribution of thousands of CDs, tapes and leaflets claiming that Islam poses a threat to Britain. The article is here.
Back in 2006, there was a bit of a fuss on the Stormfront nazi forum when it was announced that Singh was to attend the Kirklees meeting as the BNP's ethnic liaison committee leader. At that time, the likes of Arthur Kemp, who then ran the BNP's indoctrination programme for voting members, openly posted on Stormfront, but along with the change in image over the past couple of years went a withdrawal from such places (at least under names that clearly identified the poster). This meant that Kemp went through Stormfront and carefully deleted most, if not all, of his posts. Fortunately, some of them are referred to in quotes.

Anyone who cannot see the political and propaganda advantage to be gained by having an ethnic demonstrating that the BNP is not a "race-hate" party, has absolutely no understanding of practical politics and should stick strictly to hobbyism.'Clearly, Rajinder Singh is nothing more than a 'propaganda advantage'.
In an article in the Los Angeles Times, Mickey Weinstein and Reza Aslan discuss the increasing links between the military chain of command and proselytizing, fundamentalist Christian groups.Last week, after an investigation spurred by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, the Pentagon abruptly announced that it would not be delivering "freedom packages" to our soldiers in Iraq, as it had originally intended.
What were the packages to contain? Not body armor or home-baked cookies. Rather, they held Bibles, proselytizing material in English and Arabic and the apocalyptic computer game "Left Behind: Eternal Forces" (derived from the series of post-Rapture novels), in which "soldiers for Christ" hunt down enemies who look suspiciously like U.N. peacekeepers.Like I've said before, why would soldiers in their off hours play a game about hunting down and killing civilians that differ from themselves? The Straight Up guys must be clueless dweebs who don't have a clue what military service is like. Led by idiots like Stephen Baldwin, they think the military is some sort of muscle bound club full of brainless street fighters. One look at their overtly butch t-shirts tells me exactly what sort of guys they are. A group of immature phallically challenged individuals disparately trying to be men.
Apparently the wonks at the Pentagon forgot that Muslims tend to bristle at the word "crusade" and thought that what the Iraq war lacked was a dose of end-times theology.Duh, wouldn't you know.
It's time to actively strip the so-called war on terror of its religious connotations, not add to them. Because religious wars are not just ugly, they are unwinnable. And despite what Operation Straight Up and its supporters in the Pentagon may think is taking place in Iraq, the Rapture is not a viable exit strategy. It seems like this is another ingredient in the Religious Right's recipe to force Jesus to come back. I had, until a couple of years ago, thought that the religious Christians believed that Jesus would come in his own time, and not by the Religious Right's schedule.
