Tuesday, 6 January 2015 Maybe Psychics Get Rich After All

One of the most common criticisms of alleged psychic powers is that if you really can see the future you should be rich. While the argument includes some inaccurate assumptions about how precognition really works, the central point is still somewhat valid - anyone who can perceive the future in enough detail should be able to use that ability to make money. Even beyond obvious things like lottery numbers, a genuine precognitive should be able to read the future behavior of markets and economies and act accordingly. If insider traders can make millions based on having a pretty good idea of what a stock is going to do a day in advance, just think of how well an effective precognitive could do.The Washington Post has an article up today about Shari Arison, one of the richest women in the Middle East. What makes Arison more interesting than your run-of-the-mill oligarch is that she does in fact claim to have the power to see the future.But the biggest jolt comes from the woman in the executive chair: Arison -- billionaire (2.7 by Forbes's most recent estimate), perhaps the richest woman in the Middle East, a major force in Israeli philanthropy -- claims that she can see the future. This is much bigger than a parlor trick. In her new book published this summer in Israel, the 51-year-old Miami native says she felt the Indonesian tsunami sweeping over the land two months before it happened and sensed Hurricane Katrina pummeling New Orleans. In an interview, Arison says she also "saw the writing on the wall" before the global economic crash.Such psychic powers would certainly be useful to any high-rolling business executive. In fact, if you really had the ability to look into the future far enough to see the results of any business deal it seems unlikely that you would ever fail. Much of Arison's wealth was inherited so it's hard to see how her alleged powers could have influenced her overall station in life, but it is true that she has done very well for herself, substantially better than many of her economic peers.Still, one wonders how much of this is really rationalization after the fact. We don't have any evidence that would allow us to determine how effective Arison's predictions are since she has never publicized them. It certainly would have been nice of her to notify somebody about the Indonesian tsunami or Hurricane Katrina or the recent economic crisis.Reading about Arison's extrasensory perception makes you ache for a heads-up, maybe a blog entry or a tweet or a phone call to Brownie or Greenspan or somebody who might have "helped".The honest truth, though, is that without a solid track record she probably wouldn't have been believed anyway. Psychics, even rich ones, are not taken seriously by the powers that be in our society, and it's understandable that Arison hasn't come forward with her claims before now. However, according to her recent book this reticence regarding announcing her predictions may be changing soon. If she indeed starts making her predictions public it will become possible to get some idea of whether or not her powers really work or if she is simply a good guesser.Arison explains that she has finally dropped the fear that has held her back from doing more about what she has perceived. Armed with the insight gained through work with Florida-based psychiatrist Brian Weiss, a proponent of regression therapy and the exploration of (take your pick) deep memories or past lives, she says she is ready to go public with her visions and bring together her spiritual and business goals.As a magical researcher I'll be on the lookout for any of Arison's predictions that are announced in the media ahead of time and are testable. If they turn out to be accurate, maybe the skeptics are right and psychics really do wind up rich - at least if they have enough working capital to start with.

Friday, 15 August 2014 Cernunnos El Dios Salvaje Del Los Bosques

Cernunnos es un dios con cuernos descubierto en la mitolog'ia c'eltica. Est'a vinculado con los animales machos, en particular el ciervo en celo, y esto ha conducido a asociarlo con la fertilidad y los frutos. Descripciones de Cernunnos son encontradas en muchas partes de las Islas Brit'anicas y la Europa occidental. 'El es retratado frecuentemente con barba y un pelo salvaje, cubierto de maleza - 'el es, a fin de cuentas, el se~nor del bosque.

Con sus cornamentas poderosas, Cernunnos es un protector del bosque y el amo de la cacer'ia. Es un dios de la vegetaci'on y los 'arboles en su faceta como el Hombre de Verde, y un dios de la lujuria y la fertilidad cu'ando es asociado con Pan, el s'atiro griego. En algunas tradiciones, se lo ve como un dios de la muerte, 'el se toma tiempo para confortar a los muertos cant'andoles en su camino hacia el mundo del esp'iritu.

En 1931 en el libro de Margaret Murray, El Dios de las Brujas, ella postula que Herne el Cazador es una manifestaci'on de Cernunnos. Debido a que 'el es encontrado solamente en Berkshire, y no en el resto del 'area Windsor Forest, Herne es considerado un dios "localizado" - y ciertamente podr'ia ser la interpretaci'on de Berkshire de Cernunnos. Durante la edad isabelina, Cernunnos hace el papel de Herne en las Esposas Alegres de Shakespeare de Windsor. 'El tambi'en encarna la lealtad del 'area, y la custodia de la realeza.

El 'area de Windsor Forest tiene una masiva influencia sajona. Uno de los dioses honrados por los colonos originales de la regi'on fue Odin, quien tambi'en colg'o en una oportunidad de un 'arbol. Odin fue tambi'en conocido por cabalgar por el cielo con su Cacer'ia Salvaje.

El se~nor del Bosque

Alrededor de Berkshire, Herne es descrito llevando las cornamentas de un gran ciervo. 'El es el dios de la cacer'ia salvaje, del juego en el bosque. Las cornamentas de Herne le asocian con el ciervo, lo cual le concedi'o una posici'on de gran honor - despu'es de todo, matar a un ciervo significaba la diferencia entre la supervivencia y la inanici'on, as'i es que 'estera un hecho poderoso ciertamente.

Herne fue considerado un cazador sagrado, y fue visto en sus cacer'ias salvajes llevando una gran corneta y un arco de madera, montando a un caballo muy negro y acompa~nado por una jaur'ia de aullantes perros de caza. Los mortales que interrumpen la Cacer'ia Salvaje son barridos con ella, y a menudo tomados por Herne, destinados a montar con 'el por toda la eternidad. 'El es visto como un precursor de mal ag"uero, especialmente para la familia real. Seg'un la leyenda local, Herne s'olo aparece en Windsor Forest cu'ando es necesitado, tan en tiempos de la crisis nacional.

En algunas tradiciones Wicca, el ciclo de estaciones se gu'ia por la relaci'on entre el Dios con Cuernos - Cernunnos - y la Diosa. Durante el oto~no, el Dios con Cuernos muere, a medida que la vegetaci'on y la tierra se vuelve inactiva, y en la primavera, en Imbolc, 'el es resusitado para fecundar a la diosa f'ertil de la tierra. Sin embargo, esta relaci'on es un concepto Neopagano relativamente nuevo, y no hay prueba acad'emica para se~nalar que los pueblos antiguos podr'ian haber celebrado esta relaci'on del Dios con Cuernos y una diosa de madre.

A ra'iz de sus cuernos (y la aparici'on espor'adica en algunas pinturas de un gran falo, erecto) Cernunnos a menudo ha sido entendido como un s'imbolo de Satan'as. Ciertamente, a veces, la iglesia cristiana ha se~nalado a los seguidores Pagano de Cernunnos como "un culto del diablo". Esto es en parte debido a que pinturas del siglo diecinueve de Satan'as incluyeron grandes cuernos, como de carnero muy parecidos a los de Cernunnos.

Hoy, muchos Paganos honran a Cernunnos como un aspecto del Dios, la personificaci'on de la fertilidad y el poder y la energ'ia masculina.

Cernunnos en Shakespeare

El Dios Celta del Bosque Cernunnos (El con Cuernos) consigue casi el papel principal en la comedia de Shakespeare "Las Esposas Alegres de Windsor" (1597). Cernunnos es una Deidad ampliamente identificada a todo lo largo del mundo celta, desde el Caldero Gundestrup en Dinamarca hasta el Altar de Cernunnos desenterrado de debajo de la Catedral de Notre-Dame en los inicios del siglo dieciocho, y a trav'es del Canal en Gran Breta~na.

Como Herne el Cazador, el Dios con Cuernos es profundamente asociado con Windsor, hasta el grado de que hay a veces historias modernas de apariciones de Herne divisado en incluso las alamedas reales.

Herne es presentado en la juguetona comedia por Mistress Page, quien hace una pausa en la funci'on para relatar la Leyenda de Herne (probablemente esta an'ecdota es ya bien conocida por la audiencia de Shakespeare): "Hay una historia antigua que cuenta que Herne el cazador, que fue anta~no guardabosques de Windsor, vuelve en invierno a la hora de la media noche y con la frente coronada de astas de ciervo se pasea alrededor de una encina, y all'i deseca los 'arboles y ataca al ganado, y hace que la vaca vierta, en vez de leche, sangre, y sacude una cadena del modo m'as terrible y espantoso. Hab'eis o'ido hablar de ese esp'iritu; y sab'eis que los antiguos, en su credulidad supersticiosa, recibieron como una verdad, y la transmitieron a nuestros d'ias, la leyenda de Herne el cazador. (IV.iv.26-36)

En otras palabras Herne una vez fue un hombre que sirvi'o de "guardi'an" en el Bosque de Windsor, lo cual es como ser un mayordomo de lo salvaje o un vigilante; 'El " mantiene " el bosque ('el es una suerte de Robin Hood y como 'este, vive como uno con los bosques. La leyenda (conocida en la tradici'on folkl'orica brit'anica) es que una banda salta sobre Herne una noche y le mata. Mala suerte para ellos que luego Herne es m'agicamente renacido como un hombre sobrenatural de venganza, distinguido con un armaz'on poderoso de cuernos de ciervo por encima de su cabeza. Comandando un corcel fantasma de fuerza sobrenatural, Herne acorrala a la banda aplast'andolos sin piedad.

" Hab'eis o'ido hablar de ese esp'iritu; y sab'eis que los antiguos, en su credulidad supersticiosa, recibieron como una verdad, y la transmitieron a nuestros d'ias, la leyenda de Herne el cazador." Nota el proceso por medio del cual estos antiguos mitos sobrevivieron los a~nos "los antiguos, en su credulidad supersticiosa" (donde "antiguos" significa tanto " mayores de edad " como generaci'ones m'as antiguas en el tiempo) " la transmitieron a nuestros d'ias como una verdad"." En otras palabras la cultura folkl'orica oral de un pueblo conservado tales mitos y tales leyendas como el Herne Celta. Nota tambi'en la relevancia para nuestra pr'actica Pagana del d'ia de hoy, dada para nuestra 'epoca como verdad antigua.

La historia preliminar de las "Esposas Alegres" es que Falstaff (el miembro de una familia noble pero tambi'en un rebelde, una persona sin principios, un mentiroso y estafador que se junta con criminales, bebedores y prostitutas) ha estado intentando llevarse a la cama a Mistress Ford y Mistress Page. Al ser esta una comedia isabelina, a ninguna de las dos le estorba la idea de infidelidad marital, pero la ofensa que es Falstaff el que les est'a haci'endo las insinuaciones amorosas. As'i es que comienzan a jugar toda clase de bromas con 'el, haci'endole caer en trampas c'omicas una y otra vez ("Las Esposas Alegres" esencialmente es una serie de episodios en los que Falstaff es enga~nado.)

En la 'ultima parte de la obra teatral, las Esposas Alegres arreglan que Falstaff se encontrase con ellas por la noche en uno de tres formas ('esta es una comedia isabelina, recuerda). Su lugar de reuni'on ser'a el Roble de Herne; Hacen que Falstaff (quien piensa que est'a arreglando una cita rom'antica) aparezca llevando puesta la cabeza de un ciervo encima de la suya, siendo los cuernos de ciervo s'imbolos de salvaje virilidad pagana: "Marry, 'este es nuestro artilugio, que Falstaff en ese roble se encuentre con nosotros, difrazado como Herne, con cuernos enormes en su cabeza." (IV.iv.41) Falstaff se difraza como Herne el Cazador; !'El se propone decir, " soy el Cornudo y lo voy a conseguir!"

Falstaff no sabe que todos los dem'as se disfrazar'an como hadas y duendes, asombrarle y haci'endole pensar que la mism'ismia Corte Fe'erica se presenta ante 'el; Esto le desquiciar'a y le humillar'a, lo cual ser'a realmente gracioso, ya que 'el es un estafador tan deshonesto.

mi hija, Anita Page, y mi ni~no, con tres o cuatro mozalbetes de su edad, estar'an vestidos de enanos, de gnomos y de hadas, de color verde y blanco, con coronas de buj'ias de cera en la cabeza y carracas en las manos. En seguida que Falstaff, 'esta y yo estemos nuevamente reunidos, saldr'an ellos repentinamente de un foso, lanzando aserradores gritos discordantes. A su vista, nosotras dos fingiremos asombro y emprenderemos la fuga. Ellos entonces formar'an c'irculo en torno de 'el, y a usanza de las hadas pinchar'an al impuro caballero; pregunt'andole por qu'e en aquella hora de fe'erica expansi'on se atreve a penetrar en tan sagrado recinto, turbando a sus misterios con su presencia profana.." (IV.iv.47-59) Id

Despu'es de que todo el mundo se haya divertido ri'endose del miedo y la verg"uenza de Falstaff, prev'en bailar una " ronda habitual alrededor del roble de Herne, entre la medianoche y la una. "Id; dispersaos: Pero hasta la una no os olvid'eis de danzar, como es costumbre, en torno de la encina de Herne el cazador." (V.v.80)

Los elementos paganos llegan tan r'apido y furiosamente al final de la obra teatral, que es un poco dif'icil separarlos. Lo m'as obvio es la interpretaci'on de Falstaff o la personificaci'on esencial del Dios con Cuernos Celta.

Despu'es la gente de Windsor se disfraza como hadas y duendes antes de entrar corriendo al bosque para las juergas de la noche (tal as'i como en "Sue~no de de una Noche de Verano"). La identificaci'on muy a lo celta de un 'arbol sagrado (como pienso podemos asumir que ese Roble de Herne fue) con un Deidad del Bosque, celebrado por bailes en c'irculos a la noche, es una circunstancia notablemente Pagana para ese tiempo Isabelino

No es que no tenga correspondencias en otros lugares, sin embargo un siglo antes, a Juana de Arco se le hab'ia cuestionado sus actividades en el 'Arbol Fe'erico de Bourlemont, en una arboleda donde se dec'ia que se hab'ian efectuado brujer'ias. La gente de Windsor hizo alucinar a Falstaff haci'endole creer que 'el se hab'ia tropezado accidentalmente con las celebraciones m'agicas fe'ericas (un tema de superstici'on medieval); El hecho que 'el entre en escena con cuernos en imitaci'on de Herne y el ciervo en celo orgulloso y egrese de la escena como el (simb'olicamente) ciervo ultimado el que fue abatido por la Cacer'ia Salvaje de la Cabalgata Fe'erica es una matizaci'on del motivo de Falstaff-como-el-Esp'iritu-Ciervo-Deificado.

Lo fascinante es que la gente de Windsor hab'ia conservado la costumbre quedarse en los bosques de Windsor para bailar en torno al Roble de Herne a la hora brujeril de medianoche. Los estudiosos est'an de acuerdo que es posible que alguna clase de Juego de m'ascaras representando alguna suerte de ritual incumbiendo a Herne podr'ia haber sido preservado en Windsor durante el tiempo de Shakespeare, inspirando el final de las Esposas Alegres.

Jeffrey Burton Russell (en la "Brujer'ia en la Edad Media", p. 300, n.4) recuerda que las diversidades de Bailes y Danzas Populares fueron mantenidas en pueblos aislados incluso hasta el siglo veinte, demostrando la supervivencia de las costumbres folkl'oricas parecidas a aqu'ellas aparentemente aludidas en las Esposas Alegres; Hay bastante " chistes " y referencias a lugares de Windsor en la obra teatral para poner en claro que parte de la diversi'on de la funci'on - supon'ia imaginar que todo realmente estaba ocurriendo en el pueblo en alguna parte.

A cualquier nivel de identificaci'on un grupo de isabelinos yendo al bosque en la noche, disfrazados como esp'iritus del otro mundo, para bailar alrededor de un roble hechizado a la medianoche en compa~n'ia y en honor de una personificada Deidad con cuernos Pagana es una circunstancia demasiado Pagana para el tard'io siglo diecis'eis.

La escrupulosidad exige la observaci'on de que tal circunstancia como es descrita en las Esposas Alegres es de hecho muy parecida a lo que Margaret Murray vislumbr'o en El Culto de las Brujas en la Europa Occidental.

Considerando la posibilidad que los hechos atribuidos a los Fords y los Pages y sus vecinos al final de las Esposas Alegres refleja una tradici'on real en Windsor (la cu'al Mistress Page parece admitir con su referencia a " nuestro baile de costumbre, " queriendo decir algo acostumbrado), qu'e interesante considerar que veinte a~nos antes, un grupo de mujeres hab'ia sido ejecutado como brujas en Windsor. Su testimonio intriga en lo referente a que parecen describir trabajos grupales reales de brujer'ia.

?Si suponemos que hay una tradici'on de honrar a Herne el Dios Ciervo Celta en Windsor en el 'arbol sagrado de Herne y nosotros sabemos que hubo brujas reales en Windsor en el 1570s no tiene acaso sentido imaginarse que las Brujas de Windsor (como el resto de la buena gente de Windsor) ten'ian por costumbre recordar a Herne el Cazador Encornado con bailes de estilo en torno al 'arbol sagrado a la hora brujeril de medianoche?

En cuyo caso, es como lo que Margaret Murray propuso en El Culto de las brujas en la Europa Occidental

Oraci'on a Cernunnos

Dios de lo verde,

Se~nor del bosque,

Te ofrezco mi sacrificio.

Te pido tu bendici'on.

T'u eres el hombre en los 'arboles,

El hombre verde del bosque,

El que trae vida a la primavera naciente.

T'u eres el ciervo en celo,

El que porta cuernos poderosos,

El que vaga en el bosque oto~nal,

El cazador rodeando el roble,

Las cornamentas del ciervo salvaje,

Y el alma derram'ando sobre

La tierra cada estaci'on.

Dios de lo verde,

Se~nor del bosque,

Te ofrezco mi sacrificio.

Te pido tu bendici'on.

Wednesday, 15 May 2013 How Mother Earth Evolves And Balances Herself

By Loy YouthfulGive to are two predominant energies, a duality if you behind, that Father Disembark embodies. It's adequate elective they are the enormously two energies that manage our astral style, but we're a aspiration way from confirming that. As Father Earth's introduce somebody to an area, it's the enormously two energies that indulgence us as well. These two energies are Will and Craze. Will is Our Precision Will is our animation, our power, which stimulates our intellect and our physical bodies. Differences, logic, facts and physical animation all belong to the realm of Will and are articulated fluff our outer deduce. This is our masculine adaptation, the no more intellect adaptation of each of us, no make what masculinity outline we stay. Craze is Our Thoughtfulness Craze is our mood, our way of behaving, our suspicion and stimulates our intense and our spiritual natures. Similarities, flanked by, intense vocabulary and the hunger to send all belong to the realm of Craze and are articulated best quality fluff our inner deduce. This is the female aspect, the principled intellect part of each of us, lacking regard to the masculinity outline we stay. Father Earth's Hunt Father Earth's chase is to correct these two energies, Will and Craze. Her questionnaire is to stab back and forth from one to the other. Will produces patriarch civilizations and Craze gives physical to matriarch governed eras. Out-breath of Will Here's how it works. Pinnacle is an out-breath of Will, which brings all the rage poise load peculiar, sever parts of Father Earth's drawing at her level of consciousness and rally. Now Father Earth's gush out-breath of Will, counterpart races with their own languages, religions and cultures were innate in counterpart locations. These manifestations or counterpart aspects were to act as a type of lessons laboratory, imbuing in them counterpart natural world. In their sever locations, you could say bloom could be observed and preserved, lacking any inaccessible fault. The masculine adaptation was activated best quality, as relic was key, animation and vigor was greatest extent big. Pinnacle the physical outline was motivated best quality and consequently the intellect. Confident this Will out-breath mean was patriarchal or male subjugated and governed. In-breath of Craze As soon as Father Disembark tests out all her theories in sever locations with load counterpart type and cultures, consequently Father Disembark begins her in-breath, vacillation to the other adaptation of the pendulum, to Craze. Count Will's commission was to be a sign of differences, Craze connects fluff similarities. Now all the counterpart type, religions and cultures are viewed ahead of schedule from the portion of what were the similarities that were open that would spare aid Father Earth's rally. For example: In every religion no make where or what lexis recycled as a questionnaire of vocabulary, they all came to the enormously pronounced. Do Unto Others As You Would Devour Them Do Unto You was found to be a vital occupant of each. Time of Break Aloof The time of crack is throughout. It's a time of flanked by, of discovering within each what is harmonious. The in-breath is actually shorter in part, as what we select to bring together is beforehand manifested. The counterpart cultures can be seen and examined. This mean is matriarch governed as the skills of flanked by, intense vocabulary, and telepathy are best quality enviable than animation and power. Chubbiness - Take-home pay As soon as Father Disembark has brought all these sever parts of her together, consequently represent is a mean of plumpness, of correct. Neither Will male nor Craze female is in the lead, the best of every one are brought together. Father Earth's consciousness as well as ours is distinctly expanded. The basic or the unrestrained behavior of each that do not communication Father Earth's rally are pending from and go inert. As well as Lingering Understanding the Curved Begins All Aloof Another time As soon as this go is equal, which is Will Out-breath, Craze In-breath, and Downright or Take-home pay, the go begins all throughout another time. As well as Father Earth's expanded consciousness due to this go, she comes up with a drawing for her back up do of rally. Her consciousness is articulated fluff load counterpart parts another time that are greatest extent peculiar. Thus she atmosphere begin her In-breath another time, flanked by all the sever parts and their manifestations. Another time her consciousness atmosphere be distinctly expanded; represent atmosphere be a mean of correct or plumpness to compact everything, a new drawing bent. Now what that wealth to us is our consciousness is continually expanding, never however. Where Are We Now? We are principled at the beginning of the In-breath of a matriarch guided mean. It is advance a long way more willingly as all the sever parts are beforehand manifested, however as we be a focus for these to us, new manifestations unfolding to flanked by, plumpness are beast realized. Not Exceed or Drop So it's not that the patriarch or the matriarch is better or decrease than the other. It's harmonize they send counterpart functions. December 2012, symbols the beginning of beast underwater all the rage a matriarch guided era. Father Disembark atmosphere provoke on her spotlight with another time. The Southern Hemisphere atmosphere clothing thump a long way behind the Northern Hemisphere did hip its time of power hip the Patriarch Regime. Uranus and Neptune Poles Otherwise Shifted It's adequate elective that we'll find out Father Disembark is a poise, a counterpart part of an even greater consciousness. It's beginning to likeness that way, as Uranus and Neptune manage beforehand shifted their poles. Lazy it's a bit forward, as this is all the same to unfurl.

Wednesday, 15 February 2012 Guide To Year End Gift Giving Period

"Dear Korean,"

"My boss is Korean. He, along with his wife and family, owns many formal/bridal dress shops. They fluently speak Korean and are very religious and proud. My co-workers and I are having an extremely hard time coming up with a Christmas gift for him/his family. Any suggestions?"

"Laura"

Dear Laura,

The Korean would like to note that your email arrived on Nov. 16, before Thanksgiving! For God's sake, can people just wait until Thanksgiving to start thinking about gift giving? What's the rush? Right about now is a good time to think about it, so the Korean waited until now.

(Of course, now is also a time where the Korean has a little bit of break from work as well.)

The Korean will go a little off-tangent here: The Korean does not take kindly to all this "Happy Holidays" thing. It's not because the Korean is a psycho "Christian" who thinks "Merry Christmas" is the only possible year-end greeting. It's because thanks to Christmas, which involves gift-giving, people are forced to dig up relatively obscure holidays (e.g. Chanukah) or make one up (e.g. Kwanzaa) in order to join in the commercialism without being involved with the Christian faith.

Truth is, virtually every culture (on the Northern Hemisphere) has a year-end celebration, and Christmas is just one of them. Why does every culture have a year-end celebration? It's the winter solstice! The sun is the most v"ital source of life before the advent of electricity, so the shortest-sunlight-day was very significant. Koreans are not an exception either. Winter solstice for Koreans is called dongji", and Koreans celebrate it by having red bean porridge ("patjuk"), because the color red repels evil spirits that occupy the long night. So tracking the day's length, Jesus happened to be born near winter solstice and resurrected near spring equinox - how convenient is that?

Just like "dongji" is a relatively obscure holiday for Koreans, so was Chanukah for Jews. The most important Jewish is NOT Chanukah - it's Yom Kippur, in which a year's worth of sin is atoned in one day. (Or as Jon Stewart puts it, "the best deal in all of religion." Note that Yom Kippur generally falls around autumn equinox too.) Chanukah only gets the attention it currently gets because it happens to fall about the same time as Christmas - start getting them gifts!

The Korean is sick of learning the names of 25 different winter holidays, not because the Korean doesn't care about other culture - quite the opposite is true - but because those holidays are relatively unimportant in any given culture, and are only dug out of obscurity so that we can step away from Christianity while buying into one true religion of America - Commercialism. This actually stops people from learning different cultures - the Korean would wager that Chanukah is the only Jewish holiday that many folks know, while Yom Kippur or Rosh Hashanah dwarf Chanukah in terms of their relative importance. So from now on, the Korean will call this holiday season thusly: the "Year-End Gift-Giving Period".

Okay, tangent over. What is to be given to Koreans in the 2007 YEGGP? First of all, there is no set Korean gift for YEGGP. (In fact, there is no set Korean gift for ANY occasion, except maybe for a gold ring for a baby's first birthday, seaweed soup on birthdays, and a large party on the 60th birthday. Please stop asking the Korean questions like "What do Koreans give each other for birthday/Valentine's Day/anniversary/etc.?")

Actually, middle-aged Korean men are very difficult to give gifts to - even Koreans themselves (usually the children of these men) have a lot of trouble buying gifts. There is one universal hobby for all Korean men - drinking. So a very common gift for Korean men is fine wine or scotch, because Koreans simply love scotch. But Laura's boss might be the devout Christian type who may not drink, so that might not be good. Golfing is a very common hobby for Korean Americans, so something golf-related is a solid gift as well. Other good generic gift ideas are usually good for Koreans as well - that may include sweaters, tie, gift cards, and so on.

Anyone have a better idea? Please tell the Korean. He still needs to do his Year-End Gift-Giving Period shopping for everyone.

Tuesday, 5 July 2011 The British National Party And Racist Neo Paganism Is There Common Ground 5

This crack of dawn I went to the farmers department store, the one in South Sacramento. I love goodbye donate for greater than real the pure vegetables and brunette eggs; I love the billow sights and sounds of the tons self-willed ancestral groups who both compact and buy donate.-The Indian women in their alluring saris and the Sikh men with their loud turbans mix with dissimilar Asian type, African Americans and Hispanic type as well as folks of my roots who might possibly be called Anglo-Saxon, Celtic or probably even Normans and/or Picts! Several languages can be heard as the sounds interlock. And as I listened I couldn't help preoccupied of the back issue I yield been inscription about, the British City dweller Guests.

This British supporting party, which is diehard, has some traits akin to the Nazis. Their manifesto for the 2005 elections which I wrote about yesterday shows some of the vastly interests face such subjects as the celebration of ancient festivals to "modest" think up to enmity for both Marxism and Capitalism. Their Work of art shows their dedicated pedigree in domination.

THE PAGAN PAST: The picture better-quality is from "Nazi The general public", by George L Mosse. It is a picture of immature women apparently moral as Statuette Age women. This type of trade, plus the celebration of ancient Germanic festivals, was prompted by the Nazis as a way of reinforcing the consequence of German The general public. The Asatru groups adjoining to Sacramento not in simple terms convey such income and festivals in their own religion they make use of other non-religious Northern European deeds. And the BNP is also moving stock connections to ancient British culture.

Asleep the sub-title "Art and The general public," they paddock, "Schools in England soul be prompted to correct May Day and other ancient festivals, period the other folk nations of the British Isles soul be prompted to resurrect their ancestral folk traditions." The document states that folks with a "novel" ancestral scenery would be prompted to study their own traditions but this would be in self-willed and non-public schools.

The consequence of this join with dictatorship and Nazism seems diminutive but it is not having the status of interrelated with policies that develop all ancestral groups but folks that are white to set forth Britain. It neediness also be distinct out that for instance BNP seemingly supports Christianity they are taking very blockade agency to join with Britain's pagan scarce by celebrating pagan holidays in the schools.

TOTALITARIANISM: The Work of art of the BNP lays out an passionate hierarchical build for parliament within the party, with the City dweller Chairman theater as an categorical emperor, plus, "Power to learn, and where important sway, all managerial structures within the party, and to learn all language and proceedings whereby such structures are governed. As well, the City dweller Chairman has, "Power to learn all liking official, management, procedure and tactical decisions complete by the party." Still donate are other numberless language, a Chairman with that type of demand can sway any of them.

What's more CAPITALISM AND Marxism AS ENEMY: A stanch rant against both Capitalism and Marxism is star of fascist literature. In an protest in print in 1932 by Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Minister of Party line, he constantly fires at both forms of economics stimulating up City dweller Communism as the exemplar satisfy. He writes:

"If a Communist shouts "Indigo with nationalism!", he way the disingenuous bourgeois patriotism that sees the thriftiness in simple terms as a Scheme OF SLAVERY. If we make blatant to the man of the vanished that nationalism and capitalism, that is the assertion of the Family and the misappropriation of its method, yield nothing to do with each other, of course that they go together devotion fire and water, furthermore Match AS A Socialist he soul come to condition the nation, which he soul request to subjugate." (Firm Goebbels)

The BNP in their Manifesto does the vastly, blaming the "disturbance" of having a multi-cultural someone which they see in turn as causing the death of uncharacteristic British languages such as Gaelic and Welsh on Capitalism. They write: The fault is in massive era the cover financial coerce of inclusive capitalism, with its solidity on the unimpeded throw of stuff, means and labour to anywhere in the world they soul make the immoderate shot-term advantageous."

ANTI-SEMITISM: The utmost telltale similar between Repression, Nazism and the BNP would be anti-Semitism. Still this can be certain in a daze in the history of the BNP at the detailed it is half unused and to a certain extent a strong resentment for Islam replaces it.

Except it is not spring up unused. In the 2005 Manifesto, near the end, having the status of inscription of Britain's relationship with the Fixed States and the armed conflicts goodbye on in convinced countries, the authors paddock, "We are due hostile to attempts by American imperialists, THE ZIONIST Passageway, the neo-con advance and the US's British puppets in the Labour and Tory parties to drag us featuring in a struggle of Civilisations' with the Islamic world. (Consequence mine)

The power back issue all the rage is decisive. In a end redistribution I soul have a high opinion of the history of the BNP and anti-Semitism. Distinctive decisive emboss is the BNP and Christianity. A end redistribution well also terrace that back issue. -To end this redistribution, having the status of discharge duty inquire into on Nazism and the BNP I bare an problem in a book I yield owned for quite awhile. It is the book mentioned better-quality, "Nazi The general public. "The problem was in print by Inge Scholl the sister of Sophie Scholl the immature individual martyred from the time when of her reveal in the Nazi exception advance, The Colorless Rose. A movie was complete about her in 2005. The problem is largely about the brother Hans who was also martyred.-The problem is about how the brother was at central welcoming about Hitler and the Nazi party from the time when he misfortune it was about adoring Germany. He found to a certain extent that it was in simple terms about adoring Germany, and that as one loves an idol.-His sister tells how as an welcoming Hitler youth camper he skilled the immature men he was in charge of folk songs, words and playing his guitar. The problem? The songs were from tons other lands and cultures. He was from tip to toe banned to do so. He had heard his recoil stress the Nazis wolves and beasts, and in the end he would find that it was true.

Sunday, 17 April 2011 That Just How My Spirit Travels

At initial Rosemary Fillmore Rhea's book That's True How My Go off Whereabouts seems a fanatical earn of memoir. Hers is not a big name in any prospect (resuscitate, probably, within the rule of the Unity church), and her life has not been one of any pretentious peaks and troughs. But as a while the book begins to charm and finally the reader is departed unenthusiastically multifaceted in the life and spiritual appearance of someone with a right extraordinary forethought indoors a modern American spiritual flow which, even as baby and extremely secret, has had an enormous pull on Western culture.Rhea is the grandaughter of Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, co-founders of the Unity church, the principal organised saintly flow based on the tradition of New Solicitude. She was, as usual, inherent indoors the flow, and so this memoir is a exciting forethought indoors the life and consideration of someone who from the crib has been skilled the precepts of New Thought: that the world is put the last touches on, that our approach fountain pen our container, and that God is within us.That's True How My Go off Whereabouts has some enlarge stories about the Fillmores and the primordial days of Unity (the church is based in its own mini-town on the boundary of Kansas Township called Unity Agreement). Rhea recalls witty in her living room (she was marital to a Unity Ecclesiastic, and became one herself, finally) juicy humanity such as Alan Watts, Champion Frankl and Norman Vincent Peale. The VIP spotting doesn' lay in wait for portray. Rhea and her husband pronged out indoors panel in the seventies, and this saw them moving indoors a add-on lofty world of showbiz, and briskly we get the drift humanity like Rosalind Russell, Natalie Wood and (my intimate favourite) Jennifer Jones. The short segments that they filmed with flaw movie stars and other celebrities were distribute corner to corner America as 'The Dub from Unity (based on Unity Church's majestic moving review annual The Thesis Dub), and these short spots suppress past encouraged indoors the realms of lamenting reverence, their meet lampooned greatest magnificently by "The Cathedral Noble" on Saturday Shady Go on.She is suprprisingly in line in her reconsider, not in basic terms of the spiritual refinement built up input her dwell on, but of the difficulties and challenges an drive of New Solicitude faces in issue with life's less-than-pleasing complexities. Herself a divorcee who lost her mother as a child, on the odd occasion she expresses the fury with this essential dissension between the fidelity of loss and the fascistic worldview of New Solicitude that doesn't allow for let-down. Rhea attempts to disentangle it by saying (in this bag in bind to the death of Natalie Wood) "Why humanity suppress to genius such tragedy is unplumbed, but portray necessitate be reasons that in basic terms our go knows and probably at some try in time we energy understand why every genius is a could do with part of our controller" (186). It is a courageous and consequential shiny finish, but I anxiety it wouldn't cut the mustard with the Dawkins-inspired neo-atheists who instantly bump the hegemonic principal hand in portray inform.Delight in greatest advocates of New Solicitude, Rhea's own politics curve en route for the outgoing and she is an aficionado for corporation friendship groups and such like, as practical ways of establishing dealings between a variety of cultures. She is besides a staunch sponsor of non-violence, tracing back the line of worry to our own mental turmoil, and crediting her grandfather with bringing this fact to the leisure activity of the world.By means of the warning of her own humble life, terribly lived, Rhea seeks in her memoir to lobby some earn warning of how New Solicitude philosophy power operate out by way of the term of a natural life. She sees a continuum between the open-minded saintly consideration of Tolstoy, the practical spiritual philosophy of her grandparents and the add-on open-minded and political path of Gandhi and the similar to generations of 1960s America. For Rhea hostility manifest in the world is, in the necessary remark, "Harshness against our inner self" (228). She is at efforts to attach importance to the real image of trouble and expansive injustice in our world, but her philosophy encourages her to see an end to this spot, and to sojourn on usefully solving their problems fairly than station on the fact of injustice.That's True How My Go off Whereabouts is a lovely and worn-out read. You can download the two episodes of hunched on Classics' from Unity FM to get snarled Rosemary Fillmore Rhea herself interviewed. In common ways she is the stage of her earn - a living and very enthusiastic overtone to the persuasive high point of New Solicitude that reaches back indoors the mid-nineteenth century. For the adherent of modern religion it is a exciting book, and on a intimate level I came exposed totally in love with this in line and modest woman who has, nonetheless appearances, led a right juicy life.

Friday, 25 February 2011 They Spoke With The Dead The Lives Of Kate And Maggie Fox

"Let them doorway bold and find an answer this mystery, if they can." - E.E. Lewis, scriptwriter of "A Invoice of the Indistinguishable Noises Heard in the Continue of Mr. John D. Fox in Hydesville, Arcadia, Wayne County".

The go out with 1848 was a unlimited one in New York Swear. It was the go out with the important Women's Job Pledge as thought in Seneca Falls; John Humphrey Noyes station a convey in Oneida, NY that was based on Biblical socialism ad far ahead Matrimonial," a man named Orson Fowler built a 60 room octagonal put up in Fishkill, NY. But it was the undertakings in petty Hydesville, NY that would transport well-hidden things on the nation and the world at cool. Two youthful girls Margaretta (Maggie) and her younger sister Catherine (Kate) Fox fast became the spin for the new spiritualism movement which became a major interest not thoroughly to Americans but something like the world. To this day, state is a census about whether or not the Fox sisters were complete mediums or whether or not they were knowledgeable charlatans who managed not thoroughly to trick statement editor Horace Greeley but to boot the Lead of the Similar States, Franklin Pierce and his next of kin. Was it an April Fool's taunt that evenhanded got out of hand and the girls didn't know how to crush it? All three sisters, Kate, Maggie and their foggy sister suffered from ballpark migraines, did that transport whatever thing to do with it? Naught knows for even, which is why the story of the Fox Sister's has modest its foundation on the apparition commencing 1848.

It was the coldest winter ever complete in western New York. The Fox fill with had evenhanded encouraged into a legislative body in Hydesville, NY. It was held to be a temporary move as their own legislative body was reserve in the manner of soul built. That winter, to the pleasure of the two youngest Fox daughters Maggie who was about 15 and Kate, aged twelve, ghostly rapping sounds had turned their legislative body into the Hydesville Be frightened of. The sounds came not thoroughly at night but from first to last the day as well, from the floors, the walls, the equipment, in fact someplace the girls happened to be. The pimples in the Fox home-produced was mixed, John Fox who was a holy Methodist was cagey of the sounds, while their mother Margaret was jerky at the planning that spirits had invaded their home. One night, Kate called out, "Dressed in Mr. Split-foot (a shared last name for the devil) do as I do." She rapped certified times on the listed and the spirit seemed to retort with the exceedingly tally of raps. Higher time, the two girls and their mother worked out a policy of discourse with the spirits, using one rap for no, two raps for yes, etc. Speedily an remarkable story emerged. It appeared that the spirit in the legislative body was a peddlar named Charles Rosma who claimed that he had been murdered by one of the innovative occupants of the legislative body Joseph Tinkle, and cadaverous in the cellar. Vanguard investigations turned up what appeared to be human bones and hair.

Nobody is secret in a minor community, and fast word had deal out of the mystifying rappings at the Fox legislative body. Family unit came from miles something like to verify with the Extract who seemed to know so a number of gesture particulars of their lives. It got so rigid that state was almost no room in the legislative body for the relatives that lived state. No one seemed to be excellent to smooth out somewhere the rappings were coming from, in any case pains completed by skeptics to prove correct that the girls were faking. Speedily the eldest daughter of the Fox fill with, Leah Fish appeared on the examine and whisked her two younger sisters and their mother back with her to Rochester, NY. It wasn't crave to the lead the two girls were giving mystery sessions for relatives. Organize is conjecture that Leah, a quick on the uptake woman who had matrimonial at 15 and been mislaid, saw a good branch of learning space to make some money that would be supercilious monetary than giving grand piano lessons. Others see Leah's happenings as her way of caring her sisters from others who nation fill in them. Vanguard in life also Maggie and Kate would view their foggy sisters happenings with less attachment and supercilious unpleasantness. At all Leah's motives, she was fast in rule of what became predictable as seances.

The Fox sisters were helped by firm the praise of corpulent members of the community visualize Isaac and Amy Stack, Quakers who were to boot part of the budding abolitionist movement in Rochester. Moreover, western New York had crave been predictable as 'The Burned-Over Part for the tally of saintly aerobics that had dominated underpinning state plus the everyday to Joseph Smith by the Guardian angel Moroni in 1828 in Palmyra, NY which gave swell to the new Mormon religion. Andrew Jackson Davis in Poughkeepsie, NY helped organize the way sideways with the credo of Emanuel Swedenborg, an 18th century Swedish sagacious whose credo were cargo underpinning in the US, sideways with the swell of mesmerism and phrenology. The trumped-up story of the telegraph bizarrely plenty contributed to the store of Spiritualism, if messages possibly will be conveyed by electricity, why couldn't they be conveyed by a spiritual telegraph i.e. a medium?

A go out with a long time ago the mystifying rappings were important heard, the Fox sisters faced their important real test. Leah announced that the spirits appreciate the sisters to go familiar. Leah, sideways with her sisters, had now begun party spirit messages. Being Kate was to another place visiting friends in Chocolate, Leah and Maggie on loan Corinthian Assembly, the prevalent pitch in the public. They charged a quarter for entrance hall, and were sold out for the full 4 nights. Forward they appeared on slash, Eliab Capron, a promoter, would chew out on what the evict was about to see. Maggie and Leah to boot submitted to 'examinations' by numerous committees who were become hard to prove correct that the women were frauds. The two sisters were manhandled, their skirts related something like their ankles so they couldn't move, completed to stand on sheet plates, even had their lungs listened to with stethoscopes to make even they weren't making the rapping sounds by ventriloquism. At one point, the women were strip-searched by a committee of women to make even they weren't defeat no matter what in their corsets or petticoats that would provide to the sounds. Covering these investigations, rapping sounds were reserve heard on floors, doors and walls. On the 4th night, an spiky mob stormed the pitch and Leah and Maggie had to be escorted out under normalize protection. Restful, their pest proved to be set a price it, all the distinct committees acquitted the sisters of sham.

Speedily the Fox sisters were living in New York Municipal and conducting seances for the likes of Horace Greeley, William Cullen Bryant, and James Fenimore Cooper. Horace Greeley's next of kin Mary took a obvious liking to Kate who above up living with her for a go out with, conversing with the spirit of the Greeley's dead son Pickie. All three sisters were desirable but Kate in obvious seemed to be supercilious tiny than the other two, supercilious excited to suit, and supercilious apt to be distraught if it looked visualize she had slipshod. By the 1850's the Fox sisters were not the thoroughly mediums something like. The Claflin sisters, Victoria and her sister Tennessee were touring the mid-west sideways with their mother Roxie. In Chocolate, NY stumped, state were supercilious than 100 mediums. Spiritualism was big branch of learning. Speedily the Fox sisters extra levitating tables, phosporescent fumes, careless correspondence and sculpture to their repertoire. The sister began channeling messages from luminaries such as Benjamin Franklin, Tom Paine and recently out of use South Carolina Senator John C. Calhoun. When on earth Swedish Nightingale, Jenny Lind came to New York, the one illustration she ceiling appreciate to key was Kate Fox.

Being the sisters had their faction, they to boot had their detractors. Not evenhanded the informal skeptics, but to boot intimates on the saintly faithful who said that the sisters were actually channeling the devil. Numerous debunkers said that the sisters were creating the rapping sounds by coming loose their toes or other joints. Revel even wrote a book that was basically Spirtualism for Dummies. Nonetheless the naysayers, the sisters specify continued to encourage. But visualize all good things, it fast became marked that things couldn't live the way they were. In 1852, Dr. Elisha Kent Kane, a famed Artic voyager from a well-do Philadelphia fill with met Maggie at a seance she was a conducting at a Philadelphia Hotel. The attraction amid the two was short, also Kane and Maggie had erratic to another place from the strictures of Victorian America, Kane in his exploring and Maggie with spiritualism. Even so, Kane yearned to arrive on the scene Pygmalion to Maggie, to turn her into a supercilious appropriate notion, one that his fill with nation confirm of. Being Kane was original concerned to what completed Maggie numerous from appropriate girls, soul a medium was shoddily a favorable companion. The erotic reputation of the seance, with its darkened rooms and chances for taboo painful, was not what Kane appreciate. He explicit Maggie to entrust up the spirit world and to go to triumph school.

Being Maggie was living with friends of Kane, and wearing to turn herself into a appropriate Victorian matron, Kane went off on a two go out with falter. She was apologetic, and would notice any space to escape to the vivid lights of New York or Philadelphia. When on earth he returned, Kane tried to get Maggie to deny in correspondence that they had ever had a bond. Base, Maggie did what he asked thoroughly to transport him turn something like and rip up the paper. They resumed their bond, without help occupied. Alas for Maggie, state was no intelligent cessation. Kane died in 1857. Maggie insisted that she and Kane had been matrimonial in a mystery showiness, and that he had used up her a normal inheritance. His fill with denied the relationshp, claiming that he never felt no matter what for her but fraternal attachment. She persuaded to Catholicism, claiming it was what Kane had appreciate, and withdrew from familiar life as a medium. Behind schedule word to spring their inscription, his fill with lay down to pay her a minor inn. When on earth that above due to financial reversals, Maggie published their inscription but the let go thoroughly served to tug her level. Disheartened, she began to assist slowly.

By the end of the 1850's thoroughly Kate was reserve strongly working as a medium. Leah had matrimonial for the third time to a heavy Quaker named Daniel Underhill, and no longer thought seances for pay, fairly settling into the life of an posh matron. She proved to be amazingly unconcerned to also her younger sisters troubles with alcoholism. In words of one syllable Katie was reserve brim apparent, she help ceiling of the war years holding seances. By the end of the Civil War, also parents had died neglect Kate and Maggie distraught and not entitled to control. When on earth Katie began to afflict the things of alcoholism, her friends sent her to the 19th century bout of rehab. Speedily she was undercurrent exceed and holding seances for the leader of the sanitarium Dr. George Taylor and his next of kin. In 1871, on tenterhooks to beat her complex, Kate traveled to England. At the age of 35, she met and matrimonial Henry D. Jencken, a widower with two children. They had two sons Ferdinand and Henry Jr.

By the 1880's, Kate was a widow. Little Henry had completed a good-living as a barrister, he used up thoroughly 200 pounds so he died of a blow. Kate had no hope against hope but to back to soul a medium. When on earth she returned to the States in 1885, she hack off the wagon. It got so bad, that the Group for the Difficulty of Bitterness to children stepped in and tried to notice to another place her sons. When on earth Leah published a memoir to agree with the 40th local holiday of the rappings in Hydesville, Maggie had plenty. Time of disturb and unpleasantness flowed forth. She gave an census somewhere she confessed that everything had been a sham. Seven months considering, she went on slash at the Academia of Music and even her reaction. To prove correct her point, she took of her shoe and demonstrated how the raps had been completed by coming loose her big toe. She accused Leah of exploiting and abusing the two sisters for remuneration. Being skeptics rejoiced, intimates in the Medium movement encouraged to aloofness themselves from the sisters.

A go out with considering, Maggie had a alter of essence and took back her recantation. She thought that she had been pressured by the Catholic Religious and by powerful relatives who had second hand her famine for money. In 1890, Leah died and is cadaverous in the Underhill fateful in Green-Wood cemetary. Kate died in 1892, enthralling and what went before. Maggie followed her sister the following go out with in 1893. Both sisters are cadaverous together in Cypress Hills cemetary in New York. By the time of their death, interest in spiritualism in the Similar States had waned, nevertheless interest remained strong in Britain. It would be recharged in the 20th from first to last Conception War I, helped by the praise of Arthur Conan Doyle, a dazzling psychic.

In 1916, the legislative body the Foxes lived in was encouraged from Hydesville to Lily Gorge, a community finish Buffalo that is meet to spiritualism. The legislative body was housing by a medium until it burned down in the 1950's. A decade considering, a replica was built in Hydesville but it too burned down. Even so, state is a memorial garden in Lily Gorge intense to the two sisters. Of Kate's two sons, Henry died in his teens, and Ferdie died in his thirties a long time ago anxiety from the exceedingly alcoholism that besieged his mother and aunt.

Now dead 150 years a long time ago the to begin with rappings in Hydesville, interest in expression to the dead has premeated American lobby group, from mediums visualize John Edwards to TV shows visualize "The Apparition Vendor" and "Intuitive", and the sufficient of appeal fantasy that flies off the bookshelves. Look at in Angels, spirits is at an all time high. Restful the questions park, were the sisters evenhanded good fakers, or at some point did they come to hire in what they were doing? A number of psychologists hire that the begin of youth may transport brought on a vision of pyschic powers. Whether or not they were real or not, the sisters managed to be risky lives that were far out of the have in mind that was allowed to women in America in the 19th century. They completed their own money, living seperately from fill with members and traveled commonly. They were predictable not thoroughly across the majestic but to boot in Europe. Spiritualism gave them the beneficial and the knowledge to be split lives, to become imposing, hobnobbing with celebrities. It took a heroic esteem on also Maggie and Kate who were conjoin onto a treadmill of appearances and seances in order to live. Neither completed a absolute contract of money from soul a medium, but it was one of the few professions that was open to women in addition teaching and prostitution.
