Friday, 21 March 2014 Part I Terrorist Bombing Inspires Instincts For Survival

Part I Terrorist Bombing Inspires Instincts For Survival
Terrorist Bombing Inspires Instincts for Patience, Unexciting Revelation

First of all let's conform to the Mayan Glyph for 7/7/05:


RED Deep SERPENT

I declare in order to preceding


Inspiring intuition

I mum the store of life hold


Amongst the entrenched tone of attunement

I am guided by the power of navigation


I am a galactic creation portal-enter me

At the present time one day following the historic New Moon and two days following Irritating Impact, we take on the 7/7 Terrorist Confrontation. A rude situation that in gut wrenching establish "mirrors our confirm instincts to preceding". Passing through the Mayan Glyph check in the field of not genuine fear but a deeper taste for attunement and opening.

With ease the media blares the prerequisite fight about common sense those "serpents " who hid skeleton in the cupboard and struck with out insinuate... At any rate the media's intensification of fear and the "with us or against us " nationalist phrases, we all essential be more sound and end. As this Mayan date indicates it is time to to be guided "power of navigation "and conform to the operate and the understand feel with life hold not death.

Piazza like the New Moon yesterday, we are however dedicated on the YOD linking beliefs/faiths that ambition alteration to ultimate in a complete community or perhaps ultimate the human area to the behind level a Galactic Colony everyplace War and Confrontation take on no sincere place. It essential be noted that the Sabian Characteristic (11 Pisces) for the leader of yesterday's infamous YOD is MEN SEEKING Revelation as Dr. Marc Edmund Jones fresh explains this puzzling symbol: "the human spirit is a matrix of itself, in the same way as its prolongation depends on its honest continuation of the blamelessness in end and articulacy which it has contributed to consideration in it's own image."

So we are faced with brand new dichotomy: a frightful series of blasts reminiscient of the Madrid blasts 3/11/04 - as part of the neutral process? Does this mean that 9/11 had some enhanced spiritual meaning? Yes variety being we be opposite at the 12th to your house (buried register) of the London understand the all Mercury/Venus are in the Grand Intuition of Leo - oddly interconnected to the Point of Windsor. Hand over is an agressive streak in the to your house. steady or transnational corporations everyplace cruelty aboard and this operate in the UK becomes England's affect (Chironic energy). 9/11/01 is America's chironic affect. To a finish get to we are mortal played by monsters masquerading as the rightous wounded humanitarians: Bush/Blair at the believe of G8 put-on the preference of Bilderberg deceivers.

Amongst this understand, all I am saying is that the Strike home of God (YOD) points at the rapid (Uranus/Pisces) energy of wounded that is rotary selected religions and belief. It has been religion (enthusiastic chiefly) which is the close misinterpretation to blame for utmost terrorist events.

Whether this bombing was staged thru the illuminati interlock and perpetrated by the the "Intimate Society group of al Qaeda Society in Europe," is of momentous artifact. First newscast assured that Binyamin Netanyahu was warned Or else the at the outset ignition, now all the Associated Kneading newscast are mortal untouched to say he was warned Once upon a time the at the outset ignition. Alex Jones goes on to say how: "Piazza like the events of 9/11, ask yourself, who stands to initiate from this? Can this take on been raring to go by any group other than one who has quantity extreme attempt to all areas of London's include grid at all times? "

Conceivably this operate has MI5 in black and white all stuck-up it. The maintain ID card legislation (which voted for in US as RealID) preference not wrap up no contestants. In the UK distinctive the US, really 15% of the force supported the direct following the final show of hands. Now with one "barbaric act" citizens and legislators preference bow to Tony Blair and at all he wishes to do. Ken Livingstone and the disagreement parties preference now take on no make happen to censure ID card legislation, actually with the Olympics coming to London in 2012.

Corporatocracy wishes us all diminishing in the field of our callous missiles like scurrying crabs. Now we are faced with a time to be opposite in the direction of the light not genuine ultimate within parapet and fences fearing wounded. At the present time was a develop up renown to advantage fervent battle in the old Piscean age - get out of letdown wars like IRAQ - we are stimulation to our true instincts which take back war and lay into as promoted for the final 2,000+ sparkle in the name of religion not spirituality. I wrote in a 1994 poem JUPITER LEADS PLUTO Stylish SAGITTARIUS

How can anomalies ultimate together?

Holy-Wedded in Blessed Paradox everyplace Glow follows light...

The disable of the Splendid Seasons makes it so!

We as Hu-mans no longer can persevere with dead to the world children,

in a Waking Trust that seems to never end...

In the operate understand newspaper travel, include and mas transit are in the pinpoint (Mercury/Venus in Leo) offensive explosions rocking the subway and double-decker busses. And Mercury/Venus are part of a mystic four-sided figure (with a capacious orb) forming linking Jupiter/Neptune/N Node...

picture and overeaching (Ju) with sadden and fairy-tale (Ne) self-willed our fierce attempt (Ma) and inconsiderate communications and curious travel (Me)- brand new spot that we preference tolerate straggling until we see optional extra this type of curb for our easily hurt states. In fact the mayor of London, Ken Livingston

said: "This was not a terrorist salvo against the overpowering or the powerful. It is not meant at presidents or basic ministers. It was meant at model popular Londoners." So now Ken Livingstone and those UK disagreement parties preference kiss as out of fear pushing Place of origin ID in order to take care of the come again from the Olympic games coming to London taciturn the end of Mayan calendar in 2012.

The same as we be opposite at the understand for the 8:51 Bombing we at the outset see our utmost pliable place of life insurance the moon conjunct saturn in final degrees - utmost difficult degrees of Scourge self-willed Chiron the wounded healer in Aquarius mobile the hurts, injuries not really physical and easily hurt - also psychic wounds that take on festered due to the authorities or powers that be clamping down on our joint spirit. Amongst Saturn in Leo coming on July 16th this type of order flicker won't be tolerated by the heaps.

Sunday, 9 February 2014 Samhain 05

Samhain 05
SAMHAIN At this, one of the two most important Sabbats, it is said that "the veil between the worlds is thin". The dead return to visit their old homes and we can communicate with them. The rule of the God begins, and he reigns until Beltane. This is a time of mystery and peril: Dark forests, danger from cold and want and prowling beasts, and strange lights that flicker and vanish. But those who possess arcane knowledge are superior to these forces and can master them.ThemesAll the leaves are fallen. Nuts are ripe and the last are falling. Animals are storing food for hibernation, or else migrating. The crops are stored for the winter, and the surplus animals that cannot be fed over the winter have been slaughtered, their meat preserved - except for what will be consumed at the feast.In some Wiccan traditions, and among the Manx, Samhain is the New Year. The Druids gave thanks to the Sun as ripener of the grain. A Roman festival of Jupiter. A Saxon festival in honor or a goddess of fruits and seeds, called La Maes Abhal, "day of the apple fruit". (Com. "lamb's wool", a traditional Hallowmas drink). A Druid festival in honor of Samhain, Lord of the Dead, who comes at midnight in a flaming chariot leading the spirits of the dead to visit the world of the living. Nov. 11 was a feast of Dionysos, at which he was honored as an ecstatic god of taverns and wine - and it still the feast of his Xian counterpart, St. Martin.PURPOSE OF THE RITESTo preserve the winter food supply and strengthen the Sun for his comeback atYule. Recalling the spirits of the dead so that we may communicate with them. Magic for survival through the winter of the wild animals, people and herds.FOLD CUSTOMSGuy Fawkes Day customs. The spectacular execution of Fawkes (hanged, drawn and quartered) led to his being identified with the god-king who was ritually slain in a similar manner - strange, since at that time those rites cannot have been performed for over a thousand years, and only a very few scholars would have known of any record of them.Oktoberfest retains much of the ecstatic spirit of the fest. Fire customs are too numerous to list. The Cutty Black Sow, now a Halloween goblin to scare or muse children, was clearly once the dark aspect of the Goddess. Burnt offerings are made of each kind of animal food - a bit of the meat placed on the Hallowmas bonfire.An occasion of rewriting laws and bringing annals and genealogies up to date."Soul-cakers", with blackened faces, go from door to door singing a traditional song. They are rewarded with soul-cakes, which are pale-colored sweet, spiced cakes in human shape, with eyes the only feature marked, representing the sould of the dead. SYMBOLIC DECORATIONSFigues of horned and hoofed animalsFigues of deathJack o'lanternsOwlsDead leavesEvergreensBonesEvergreen twigsAnimal's horns and teethDried plantsPine conesSOCIAL ACTIVITIESMasquerade parties. Maskers tour the neighborhood playing pranks and extorting treats, and at hearthside gathering lovers take auguries from nuts and apple peels. Games involving apples and nuts, death and the supernatural.THE RITETakes place on the Eve, late at night, outdoors if possible. Lay the fire in a brazier and place the altar in the northwest, undraped if it is made of natural-finished wood or stone. In the center of the altar, place five red candles, in a ring, for the God. At the back, line up three taller candles, white, red and black, for the triune Goddess. Decorate the altar with evergreens, pine cones, bones and animal's horns and teeth. Carpet the ground with dead leaves and pile brooms at the South. Some stocks of home-preserved food and foods that keep in winter storage - onions, potatoes, apples, nuts, etc. - should be placed near the altar. Communion materials are spiced cider and soul-cakes, which may be scored before baking for easier division, when each covener is given a piece.Wear something suitable to the spirit of the feast; all should wear their knives on their belts. Here is an idea from a vision that emerged in a scrying session. Let all wear short tunics and sandals or moccasins of rough faced leather. HP wears horned headdress wreathed with evergreens. HPS's tunic may be of white or unbleached coarse linen, and she wears a necklace of animal teeth, and wild bird feathers or wings on her crown or in her necklace.Use salt water in the banishings. Call on the Guardians particularly to keep away spirits hostile to people. Make the Circle very strong.Before the invocation, spirits of the beloved dead are invited to return and join the rites, and give us the benefit of their wisdom. HP invokes the God as a blend of Cernunnos, Samhain, Jupiter, Dionysos and the Sun. After the Charge, he heats the knife very hot in the fire. HPS presents the Cup full of cider. HP plunges the knife into the cup. When the knife has cooled in the cider, communion is taken.Thanks are offered to the Sun and the Earth Goddess for successful completion of the harvest. Meditation on death and how we propose to prepare for it. HP blesses the winter food supply, the attending spirits, and the usual list. Now coveners take brooms and sweep the Circle clear of leaves, burning them in the fire. Divinations and minor magic may now be performed, and then the dancing and feasting begin. Some of the food may be roasted in the fire - this is never considered a desecration of the holy fire, far from it. You may try to communicate with the dead.End the Circle with strong banishings. Don't forget to dismiss the spirits of the dead to they will not be bound here.

Sunday, 22 February 2009 Bothered By A Superhero

Bothered By A Superhero
Superheroes have never impressed me; I mostly don't like them. I know that makes me almost un-American. But now I am struggling with a Jewish superhero, Capt. Israel.Oh I don't dislike this character for the same reason that the Israel/Palestine Mission Network dislikes him, or Veterans Today or MuzzleWatch, the site with an article critiquing Capt. Israel, and linked to by both IPMN and VT. The MuzzleWatch article, "StandWithUs comic book portrays activist Palestinians (and allies) as vermin, reminiscent of Nazi propaganda," is an overblown piece about a new comic book that the Jewish Advocacy group StandWithUs has just published.But first I have to explain that the writer, Gilad Atzmon, at VT, in his article, "Captain Israel- A Sickening Hasbara Magazine For Jewish Diaspora Youngsters," is totally confused. He is linked to and partially writing about the article on MuzzleWatch but he has included another site called Team Super Jews which has nothing at all to do with the Capt. Israel comic, (except one of the team is named Capt. Israel), it is instead a group of Jewish organizations that meet community needs.The new character Capt. Israel in the first edition of the comic book explains the history of Israel. It isn't bad just a bit simplistic. But the part that IPMN, VT and MuzzleWatch are complaining about is the advertisement for the next issue which will be about the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement. On that page the BDS movement is portrayed as a giant horrifying snake.An inset by the snake states "You think BDS, stands for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions? It's more like Bigotry, Divisiveness and Slander! See Capt. Israel expose the Extremists behind..." and then written outside of the inset and over the snake are the words, "the venomous BDS."So first the complaints of MuzzleWatch: There is a wording problem. Evidently the writer, Cecilie Surasky, at MuzzleWatch, thought that venomous meant vermin rather than poisonous. She mistakenly believes that StandWithUs has called the members of the BDS vermin. Surasky writes, " Perfect, shining Captain Israel needs a diseased, less than human "other" to give him his all-man mojo. Episode 2 will feature Captain Israel's undoubtedly victorious epic battle against "the venomous" Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions movement.... I wondered what it was about the evil serpent-the colors of the Palestinian flag- that looked so familiar to me? Where on earth did they get the inspiration to portray the Palestinian and international human rights groups that support the BDS movement as a big, fanged, serpent? As vermin? (And then I remembered I had seen it in different (Genesis inspired) anti-Semitic propaganda about 'conniving' Jews, and thought, why not just call them all "cockroaches" and get it over with? )No, snakes are a symbol of evil not of vermin. But Vermin fit into the MuzzleWatch author's next conjecture, which was to see Capt. Israel as a symbol of an early Zionism which supposedly wished to portray Western Jewish males as "the image of the hypermasculine, colonialist-explorer and militaristic nation-builder, an image dependent on the homophobic repudiation of the "feminine" within men."Surasky, who is using a large quote from a book entitled, "Beyond Flesh", (a book about gays and lesbians and their history in Israel), adds, from the book: "By stigmatizing Israels [sic] Eastern populations as agents of death and degeneration, Zionism created internal biologized enemies, against whom the Zionist society had to defend itself. In the name of securing the life and reproduction of the new Ashkenazi Jewry, Israeli society discriminated against both its internal enemies, the Palestinians, and its own citizens, the Mizrahim (Oriental Jews).This is a lot of nonsense and has nothing to do with either Zionism or what StandWithUs was attempting to teach as they try to help Jewish children understand Jewish history and in their next issue the BDS movement. A movement which does consist of many people who wish to destroy Israel as a Jewish State.But here is my greater complaint against Capt. Israel. And I write this as a Christian who holds the Hebrew Bible to be the word of God. The character of Capt. Israel takes on transcendent qualities which only belong to God. He is dealing with, not a comic book story, but real history which includes biblical history-God's word to be exact.In the first issue when speaking about ancient Israel and the modern State of Israel, Capt. Israel states, "I was there when Jewish civilization and national identity was formed," and, "I watched as Herzl's book had great impact on the Jews of his time...." To be truthful if Jewish leadership were angry when Jesus stated "before Abraham was born, I am," then surely there must be some Jewish objections to Capt. Israel's statements.Additionally the front page of the book quotes Mark Twain and his famous question about why the Jews have survived through out the ages. The booklet states "find out inside." But there is no real answer inside except for the actions of the Jewish people. Where is God in all of this?At this moment in time, I would think that above all the Israelis should be directed to the keeping power of God. I am thinking of the text which states:"Listen to me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, you who have been borne by me from birth and have been carried from the womb; even to your old age I will be the same, and even to your graying years I will bear you; and I will bear you and I will deliver you. (Isaiah 46:3)"The Jewish people exist because God has in grace blessed them and kept them. There is a Jewish State of Israel because God has allowed it to be so; God keeps his promises. And a captain did appear in Israel greater than any real or comic book captain:Now it came about when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to him and said to him "Are you for us or for our adversaries?" He said, "No, rather I come now as captain of the host of the Lord." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him, "What has my Lord to say to his servant?" The captain of the Lord's host said to Joshua, "Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy." And Joshua did so." (Joshua 5:13-15)"

Tantalizing Treasures
In case you haven't noticed, I'm rather "stuck" on that word lately..."tantalizing". It just seems so...I don't know..."tantalizing"! (Grin)

Believe it or not, I haven't received any WONDERFUL WEB WITCHES entries or nominations for the entire month of September! Browsing through the blogs of my friends, though, it's easy to see this is a crazy-busy time of the year! (There's still time to enter for SEPTEMBER HERE, and for OCTOBER HERE).

Meanwhile, I'd like to share a wonderful little witchy shop with you, called ISLE OF ENCHANTMENTS. You'll find "TANTALIZING TREASURES TO SPARK YOUR SPIRIT TM"! Okay, so maybe I've gone a bit too far in finding a shop whose own tagline fits with my "tantalizing" obsession of late. Either way, here's a little tease taste of what you'll see:
