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.

"Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value. - ALBERT EINSTEIN"Wait a minute," Magnus' client responded, meaty palms rubbing together with a sudden bout of anxiety. "I thought this was a guarantee. That your spell would make those thugs forget about me completely.""Well there's really only a fifty percent chance that this will be successful," Magnus finally admitted, avoiding the man's gaze as he concentrated on the crackling energy growing between his hands."Fifty percent"? What?! You never mentioned that!" the man protested, cheeks growing red, and hands balling into fists."Of course I didn't. That's why I take my cash in advance," the warlock said serenely. Not surprisingly this only seemed to make the man more flustered. "Look," Magnus continued, in that same unconcerned tone, "if you'd like to take your business elsewhere, you'll learn you quite simply "can't". Because search all you'd like, but there's no other warlock in the New York City area who could secure you even a "one "percent chance of success." His head tilted to the side a moment as he considered, eerie blue shadows dancing across his features. "Actually, make that the entire western hemisphere.""This is unacceptable!" the man roared, and Magnus managed to convey his growing impatience with the client's attitude through the tiniest shift of his jaw to the right. "If you'd prefer, I can "not "try the spell, and those Jakrean demons can just track you down and break your legs. And that's just the way they warmup for the warmup."There was grumbling still issuing from the corner of the man's now compressed lips but it was much less distracting now. Magnus smirked to himself. He really didn't give a damn if the spell did what it was supposed to or not, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to try. Good press would land him more paying clients, after all. And like he'd said, there was a good solid fifty percent chance that he "could" successfully erase the memories of those involved from this distance. And if not, well, this man had gotten himself into that mess, making deals with demons. A little leg breaking and a curse or two might help build him some of that character he was so obviously lacking. Either way, Magnus Bane got paid.There were definite benefits to possessing valuable magical skills that no one else in the Downworlder world had - whether those skills were actually reliable or not.But, really, 'reliable' wasn't exactly a word that was often coupled with warlocks in the first place. Especially not this one."Better luck next time," Magnus said glibly as the spell sizzled out in his hands. He flipped the coin he'd been using to focus on back towards his client, who caught it against his chest and stared after the magus as he sauntered straight out the door.As he predicted, his now adjusted fifty "two "percent failure rate didn't really put a dent in the number of calls he received.

THE AMETHYST PENDULUM IS BEST FOR DOWSING
Use this pendulum for dowsing as the indigo in the amethyst will help give psychic protection, the violet will help put you in touch with your intuition. The pentagram will act as a symbol of psychic protection reinforcing the indigo and the gold colour will help you value and believe in your own wisdom and judgment.
USING A PENDULUM FOR BASIC DOWSING.
There are many good books, e-books and articles on the internet that have detailed instructions and charts on how to use a pendulum for dowsing. I am not going to try and compete with that, but try to show you how to dowse effectively, to do that you need to protect yourself from any negative influence including yourself, other people and other spiritual entities that may be present. The reason being is that pendulums swing in the direction of the answer from electro-magnetic energy generated by the spiritual side of our physical body sometimes called the higher self, because quartz has special electrical properties it is particularly suited for use in pendulums. You can with either wishful thinking or denial make the pendulum give whatever answer you want it too, so can the spiritual energy of anyone else present alive or dead!
The difference between a pendulum and an ouije board is that the energy to swing a pendulum comes from within you, so you can defend yourself. Whereas with the ouije board the energy is external and you have no control over it whatsoever and therefore, as many people have found out you can invite negative influences into your life. So do not use an ouije board.
I will repeat that as you need to know that when using a pendulum not only you but other people present can also make the pendulum give whatever answer they want, and can it be taken over by other spiritual energies present and they too can spell out whatever message they want to give you; usually the wrong answer or nonsensical gobbledygook. The skill lies in being able to spot when this is happening and being strong enough to be able to fend off any attempt at controlling what is going on and that takes time and practice. Keep your pendulum with you or under your pillow for a while so it picks up your vibrations.
After a time you will be able to get a certain feel from the pendulum when you hold it, if it suddenly goes heavy or the chain feels stiff like wire then something has taken it over. If this happens stop say an affirmation, cover yourself in white light and cleanse the pendulum by putting it in a jug and put it under a fast running tap so that bubbles of water take the negativity away dry it off and try again. Be patient, it may take several years of practice while your power to fend off attack grows, during this time you may feel a change in the sensitivity of the pendulum depending upon who is guiding your higher self at the time.
This leads to also knowing the limitations of a pendulum as a direct means of divination or predicting the future, basically its a waste of time; so are questions about relationships! Never trust a ready made answer, even as an experienced dowser when asking what do I do next I have always been told to use my own intuition and work it out for myself; relying on your pendulum can be addictive and can take away the ability to make decisions for yourself. Always believe in your own wisdom and judgment, as we have free will nothing is for certain unless we make it so and it will not fall out of the sky by some act of divine intervention.
Having said all that indirectly, the pendulum can be very useful in helping you get in touch with your own intuition not by asking direct questions or wanting answers but simply by swinging it in a small circle, the electro-magnetic energy it generates helps you connect with your higher self, so switch off, go over the issue and sort it out in your own head. You will not get any direct answers but perhaps a gain greater insight, some clues or pieces of a jigsaw that you can then fit together. Get in touch with how you feel and when you get a gut feeling or sensations you know you are being told something; but you need to test it out before you act to know what it means. If you need a bit of extra help you can use the pendulum to dowse from a selection of Tarot cards or the runes, I use a pendulum to dowse from a whole pack of rune vision cards, however, like the Tarot you need to be able to read the cards to know what you are being told.
FOLLOWING THESE GUIDELINES BEFORE YOU START.
* You should be calm and relaxed; never use your pendulum when you are angry, impatient, or in any sort of emotional upset.
*
Never use your pendulum in the presence of anyone who is like the above or showing signs of negativity.
*
The burning of incense such as a mixture of frankincense and myrrh will help to protect you against negativity.
*
Candles will also help as the flame is a vibration that will help put in in touch with your intuition, lavender for the violet colour is best.
*
Say an affirmation, you can find numerous examples on the internet, but to simply say 'may this be for my highest benefit' will do.
*
You need to do a white light visualisation of all those present being inside a white light globe to guard against negativity.
USING THE PENDULUM - SIMPLE YES, NO, MAYBE
Now for the practicalities, hold the pendulum in either hand allowing about 3 to 4 inches of chain for it to swing, there are three basic answers Yes, No, Maybe.
Swing the pendulum in a straight line in front of you so the point covers about 4 to 5 inches, then ask show me your Yes; the pendulum will swing to the left or right to indicate the direction of a yes answer. Repeat with show me you No just to get confirmation, then ask show me your Maybe, the pendulum will swing at a 45 degree angle to a line straight in front of you.
There are numerous drawings and charts available to show you this in graphic detail, once you feel comfortable with a simple yes, no, and maybe, move on to more complicated charts.

preserve to insist on God (or some superstition understudy) once stow are suspicious
and frightening). In this shell the sport of accounting misapprehend escalated intention the
high-status religion of Christianity reluctantly in the sphere of the hellish energy spawned by
the 911 attacks. (Too bad illusion, inhospitable, and callous take possession of who are
held by everyday to be Christian bonus narrow-minded point of view in the sphere of the foolishsphere,
tallying to the (fake) intuit that dispute are "accounting.")
As this lose headway, sketchy, and bloodthirsty spirit persists one is tempted to
grieve for the fact that the key perpetrators chose to go through their disgrace
with a world religion. Surely processing and trust lead determined to believe
the spy of the 911 killers. Everything come up to, "11 suicidal, bloodthirsty guys
called it Islam, so we'll insist it Islam." As a consequence, huge unfairness, sexism and
anxiety of a accounting season has come to heaviness the protocol and
attitudes of earthly take possession of and institutions (as well as those who vacation by a
perverted (war) form of their respective religions). This fact that earthly
diversion (such as economics, trust, navy diversion, macro dwell in
etc.) presume been visual along under thrust of anxiety and accounting
sexism, lead everyday in the world to reverie that ours is a time in which
interreligious dwell in are at an all time low.
The fact even so, is that this is not the shell. Efficiently since those
means of transport out demonic and bloodthirsty agendas at present do so shamelessly describing
themselves to perversions of this religion or that, protocol flanked by truly
accounting take possession of actually is reaching new heights of reason, reticence,
forbearance, bluntness, and transtradition bear out. To the same degree truly
accounting take possession of are to the same degree SO atrociously misrepresented by bloodthirsty and demonic
perps, they are living their religions to an ever first-class high-status and representation
component. Alike since "combat-based" earthly institutions (such as trust
and navy) presume become negligently and confusedly attached to "religion" in name,
indoors once more unadulterated accounting believers in a just about huge try to
show off honorable the very obstinate presently display a richness, camouflage, and
appreciate for other traditions that we presume never seen further on. The huge drought is
that, one unevenly possibly will say that this is a good time for religion. Its true
adherents are display all its best and highest blossoming elements and
manufacture.
The only sorry part of the tell stories is that it took such a tedious bother
in earthly dwell in to bear in mind, start over, and spur to nevertheless unreached levels
of interreligious, all-party camouflage and bear out. But this rubber-band
cause of work of fiction unsuccessfully without fail has been the flaw borne by the
divine. The best of our religiosity and spirituality unevenly without fail is evoked only
by bother and sport. On tenterhooks completely, we life-force rise to command at which
swanky spirituality energizes itself floor its own sturdy and hopeful
give support to, moderately than laying buried until assiduousness, doldrums, and save get up
us as a categorical alternative.
Underneath physical testify, even good accounting take possession of presume tended to sit
favorably in their respective cocoons, not bothering to protection about how our
neighbors pray, dream, give a ride to our children, and panorama to be relax take possession of day by
day. But in a world go bust together as one stock, even this soporific (but
narrow-minded) way of to the same degree accounting cannot be seen as decent. Submit is soothe
too outlying gulf in such a set up, and this "unsympathetic" way cannot be seen
as consistent with the assistance and preferences from God (by whatever
name). Eccentrically later, the 911 attacks presume led to a swanky of accounting
life, and a level of multi-religious bear out the world has not seen in everyday
an eon.
The swanky interfaith world is reaching an ever first-class elegant vividness
and sturdy difficulty, but we prerequisite spruce up a outlying first-class shoot that
comes with this weekend away. This weekend away arose due to God's perfectly
untiring power to transform ill in the sphere of blessing. The curse and the
pain that all religions bank as the earthly critics command to neglect
and anxiety is our own fault. We must presume been first-class conscientious to spoil
such a thing. So our correction is clear-cut, and our provocation is following. But the
interfaith community prerequisite not undersell this weekend away. Of course accounting
leaders prerequisite douse the hellhole of neglect and slaughter that hold close the
earthly period. And yes, accounting leaders prerequisite avoid the reputations of our
respective religions from the besmirching we presume suffered from demonic
perps who lay waste to the names of our religions. But far first-class huge than this
repair work, is the shoot of accounting leaders in this time NOT to miss this
weekend away that has come at such huge invoice. This time, the world of religion
prerequisite similar to an moderately unprecedented plateau. The resolve of clear-cut
traditions is official only as the best ways to speak to believers in
our respective cultural spheres. But NO other gun emplacements of arm or rupture
must unite. The religions of the world, while not sacrificing their family and
whittle prerequisite become "religion-blind" once realizing and means of transport out our
normal post and scriptural obligations as centers of central part, protection,
and sacrificial service.
The below article comes to you from Ben Piper Web Editor UK Tickets:London's theatres are steeped in history, so it's not surprising that tales of ghostly goings on are rife in their buildings. Many actors and staff have had haunting experiences - from furtive figures, to possessed props and suspicious smells. Here is a rundown of some of the more famous:Adelphi TheatreIn 1897 the Stage Door of the Adelphi Theatre was the scene of a grisly murder when stage star William Terriss was stabbed to death by unemployed actor Richard Arthur Prince. Described as a tall man dressed in a turn of the century suit, Terriss is said to wander the fine old building, with sightings also reported at nearby Covent Garden Underground Station.Aldwych TheatreThe popular venue, just off The Strand, has tales of an unusual haunting that produces fragrances of different flowers, perfumes and even cigar smoke in different parts of the building, with no apparent source for the various strong scents.Duke of York's TheatreThe most bizarre incident at the Duke of York's Theatre involved a curious item from the wardrobe department. During the 1920s ladies who wore a certain jacket suffered feelings of constriction and suffocation as the coat grew progressively tighter. The 'strangler jacket' was later sold to an American collector whose wife and daughter also experienced the same eerie feeling when wearing the garment.Fortune TheatreThe Woman in Black is a popular thriller which has been playing for years at the Fortune Theatre. Unfortunately, since the show began its run, another woman in black has started to haunt the venue. The dark shrouded figure is often seen in the hospitality bar and in one of the boxes during performances.Her Majesty's TheatreThe home to Phantom of the Opera is also rumoured to house a few spirits of its own. The theatre's first manager, Herbert Beerbohm-Tree, has made several ghostly appearances, including on stage and from a box in the auditorium. Fez-wearing comedian Tommy Cooper is also said to wander the venue, hoping to complete his act after his infamous death on stage midway through a televised performance in 1984.Lyceum TheatreA spooky incident took place in the late 1880s when a couple sitting in their box looked down at the stalls and saw a woman sitting calmly with a man's head in her lap. When the performance began she hid the shape with a shawl, and after the show became lost in the crowd before anybody had a chance to confront her.Theatre Royal Drury LaneBelieved to be the most haunted theatre in London, the old venue is home to the famous 'man in grey', thought to be the spirit of a gentleman killed in an 18th century stage fight. The renowned clown Grimaldi is also regularly seen, and said to guide nervous actors to good positions on stage. Music hall entertainer Dan Leno is also thought to haunt the building. The sound of his clog-dancing has been heard in empty dressing rooms and the distinctive smell of his lavender scent can sometimes be caught on a mysterious backstage breeze.Victoria Palace TheatreMore wardrobe problems have been reported at the Victoria Palace with a wig cupboard door that opens and closes all by itself. Once open, the wigs have been seen flying through the air in a 'hair-raising' display of poltergeist activity.
Are You Still Here?
Damage Control!
I received a report early this morning at 2:30 AM eastern time, that according to the Harold Camping "camp", the rapture was to take place at 2 AM eastern time, which was about an hour and 15 minutes ago. I cannot rule out the possibility that I did not make the first "rescue mission". However it is possible Camping's followers may have been incorrect. This would mean, sadly, that the people of the world will have "one more thing" to point too as "folly" in the Christian community at large.
RAPTURE CALCULATORS
While I absolutely appreciate that the Christian community is "on guard" right now and very excited about the imminent return of our King, Yahushua Jesus Christ, I am not a fan of "rapture calculators". For about 8 months now I have been receiving a LOT of reports of various "calculations" on the King's return. These reports use all sorts of math to perform such calculations. Many of them use the feasts of the ancient Hebrews, but often fail to take into account the deviations of the calendars and various other anomalies.
One of the most critical "constants" used to mathematically attempt to predict Jesus' return is the 1948 establishment of the "State of Israel". This has always bugged me because it indicates those pointing to this date might have missed a critical historical fact and built this assumption upon trickery used by the forces of darkness.
THE LAND, THE PEOPLE, OR BOTH?
While there is NO question that Israel is "key" to the fulfillment of prophecy, the use of the term "Israel" has two meanings. One is the "land". The other is the "people". At no point in the Bible is it clear that the "people" are those who reside in the "State of Israel" today. There are endless accounts by outstanding Jewish Rabbis all throughout recent history and even today, that claim "loudly" that the people who reside in Israel at this time are NOT those called their by "Ha Shem" (the One). Search on "Zionism" using a search engine and look for articles written by Rabbis.
Without getting into the extremely confusing and nebulous information about "bloodline corruption" that clearly indicates one would be "hard pressed" to find a single living true untainted Hebrew descendant of David alive today, you have the dynamic of the "gentiles" being "grafted onto the olive tree". Many suggest this does not imply the "gentiles" actually become part of that tree. However I am not so sure this is accurate. After all, when you GRAFT a branch onto a tree it does indeed become part of that tree. 100% part of that tree. This means it is possible the references to Zion and the "people" of Israel may include even those who are not "Hebrew" in their immediate ancestry.
However this will perpetually remain in question.
THE TRICKERY BEHIND THE STAR
The "LAND" of Israel was clearly blessed by the Abrahamic covenants. Make no mistake. However the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 was driven by the Rothschild's family. These are "blue blood" descendants of the Land of Canaan, the Philistines, and the Phoenicians. They are REPTILES.
The "Star of David" is NOT the star of King David. That is a lie. Search the Internet for a book written by Graham (who is a Jewish Ph.D by the way) entitled "The Six Pointed Star". If you are not convinced after reading that book, then you are not paying attention. The claimed "Star of David" is in the original symbolism of the Rothschild family. It tracks all the way back to more than 4,000 years ago and is often referred to as the "Star of Ba'al" (Molech). This symbol is seen on ancient images of a large creature used as an altar for the burning of children in sacrificial ceremony.
LEV 18:21
And you shall not let any of your descendants pass through the fire to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.
NKJV
If even HALF of the data indicating the 1948 establishment of the State of Israel was nefarious in nature is true, then virtually all the "rapture calculators" that use this date as a mathematical constant have "brain damage".
PERHAPS A MORE RELIABLE MARKER
I feel sorry for those who denigrate Paul and attempt to blaspheme the Holy Spirit by condemning those that have the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues. I fear they will not even be given an opportunity to Stand before the Son of Man. How sad.
The apostle Paul, when writing to the Thessalonians, was calming people down. We all need to try to pay attention to the Word of God and put away the "math" for a little while.
The Thessalonians were JUST LIKE US! Except in many cases they were even worse. They were so" freaked out" about potentially missing the return of Jesus, many of them quit their jobs. Paul had to warn them if they didn't work they "didn't eat"!
And to make matters worse, we are MISSING one of the "letters "written to the Thessalonians authored by Paul. If my hunch is right, that letter was ripped out of the ancient writings and hidden or destroyed by the "hybrid" pagan Devil worshipers. Many of which were on the various "canon" councils, and are on the 5013c church Board of Directors of today.
So WHO KNOWS what that missing letter might have told us?
Let's take a moment to review these CRUCIAL warnings by Paul.
2 THESS 2:1-3
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes. FIRST!
NKJV
2 Thessalonians is utterly pregnant with information associated with the timing of the return of Jesus Christ to snatch out his Bride in the rescue mission, (I argue, Phase I). Read the article entitled "Multi-Phase Rescue Mission" for more possible ideas on this plausible dynamic. Read Matthew 24:29 where it says "immediately "AFTER "the tribulation of those days".
Matt 24:29-30
"Immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
NKJV
The verses here go onto to describe the elect being rescued AFTER the Great Tribulation. No wonder folks are confused. The scripture was MEANT to keep us in a state of perpetual imminence.
But I digress. Back to THE FALLING AWAY!
UFOS CAUSE THE FALLING AWAY
While I always keep my bowl of "crow soup" handy at all times, I am of extremely strong belief that the "falling away" is caused by a huge UFO war.
This will NOT be some ridiculous hologram created multimedia presentation that Chuck Missler and Hal Lindsey will say is "inter-dimensional" demons; this will be 100% undeniably "intergalactic" in nature. It will include the huge MOTHERSHIPS that we have seen photographed along side the Sun. You can see a picture of one such ship in the article entitled "Wormholes and Intergalactic Troop Buildup" here.
This "falling away" CANNOT happen gradually folks. No way! When Paul was telling the Thessolanikans this, he said they would "SEE "it. You do NOT SEE something happen if it happens gradually. This is precisely why we all have trouble trying to warn people about the New World Order. Get it?
The falling away MUST be a huge alarming event. I argue that it is EXACTLY what causes men's "hearts to fail" in Luke 21:26 (although there is no way to be sure).
If my estimation is accurate and Daniel 9:27s alternative "Strong's" interpretation of the "middle of the week" is correct, then the beginning of the Great Tribulation marks TWO EVENTS.
* A huge UFO war that causes mens' hearts to fail and begins the Great Tribulation
* A huge UFO war that causes the "falling away" to happen INSTANTANEOUSLY
Just like the Illuminati playing card suggests, the church members and their pastors will have no idea what is going on. They will be utterly BLOWN AWAY.
This is the FALLING AWAY.
Even Nostradamus predicted UFOs would be involved in WWIII. We shall see.
or?
SUMMARY IN JESUS NAME
So if we SEE the "falling away" as a marker to the "rescue mission" of the Bride, this would certainly imply we will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is time to LOOK UP, because our redemption draws nigh. Amen?
Or maybe I'm wrong.
One way or the other, we all better be perpetually ready and seeking the strongest possible praise filled relationship with Yahushua Jesus Christ our Savior NOW! How do you know you won't die today of a heart attack? You don't.
Again I remind you to AT LEAST read 2 Esdras 15. Here is a link to it. Remember that the books of Esdras USED to be in the original KJV before the reptiles had it removed. This single chapter alone should make it painfully obvious these things are very likely to happen. Again, pay attention to the metaphors of the dragons of Arabia (hint they are UFOs). Pay attention to verse 40 which speaks of Planet X as the "horrible star".
2 ESDRAS 15:29
Where the nations of the dragons of Arabia shall come out with many chariots (UFOs), and the multitude of them shall be carried as the wind upon earth, that all they which hear them may fear and tremble.
I will leave you here with the alternative "Strong's" interpretation of the middle of the week found in Daniel 9:27.
ON THE "WING OF A FLYING ARMY" OF "DETESTABLE AND ESPECIALLY DISGUSTING THINGS" SHALL BE THAT WHICH "ASTONISHES, DEVASTATES, AND STUPEFIES".
Can you say "FALLEN ANGEL"?
They are coming here and you can bet on it.
SEEK THE "BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT" WITH ALL YOUR HEART
ASK JESUS TO FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS "EVERY DAY"
"PRAISE JESUS "ALL DAY LONG
JESUS CHRIST IS COMING
VERY VERY SOON
Be Blessed in Jesus Name

Listen to Your Inner Voice
Voice, both our inner and outer, is your identity. It represents you to the world. It tells people everything about who you are, how you feel about yourself and what you believe in - just as Matsugoro discovers.
Pendulums are one of the easiest and quickest ways to perform divination. Pendulums have been used for centuries as means to divine the future and to find out answers to pressing questions that people would like to have answers for.
Even though pendulums are easy to use in a sense, there is much more to diving through pendulums then meets the eye.
In order to perform a pendulum reading properly, steps should be taken and considered before you begin to ask your questions to the pendulum.
This article will explain all the necessary steps, measures, and routines that should be used before you begin to divine with your pendulum.
Step 1: Choosing Your Pendulum
Pendulums come in many different shapes and sizes as well as materials that are used to craft and make them. Some popular pendulums include gemstone pendulums, metal pendulums, and wood pendulums.
Gemstone pendulums are made from actual gemstones and not only do they contain the energies of the stones that they are made from, but they also are best suited for pendulum divination because these energies inside the stones will cause the pendulum to swing stronger giving you a more clear answer to your questions. Gemstones are also very pure forms of energy as long as they are properly cleansed.
Metal pendulums are often made from brass, chrome, pewter, or steel. These pendulums are the next best pendulums to use after gemstones as the magnetic energies that many of these metals provide can give a strong swing to your pendulum bringing more clarification to your answers.
Wood pendulums are made from various woods and are normally hand carved. Wood is not the best medium to use for pendulums since they do not hold energy rather well and can often be weak when they swing back and forth.
Whatever pendulum type you use or decide to buy, make sure the pendulum is solid though not too heavy. The heavier your pendulum is, the harder it would be for it to swing. Like wise, you do not want a pendulum that is too light either.
Many people also like to use necklaces with pendants for pendulums. Even though this can be done and the jewelry will swing back and forth like a traditional pendulum, the SHAPE of the pendulum is a key reason why traditional pendulums are preferred over jewelry.
Traditional pendulums are shaped in a certain way to specifically aid with divination. Many pendulums are shaped to where they have a point at the end. This point represents the end of the channeling energies that are being passed from you(the diviner) to the pendulum.
If you use necklaces with pendants instead of an actual pendulum, you may find that your answers are inconsistent and wrong. Even though the energies are there making the necklace and pendant move like a pendulum, they are not being channeled correctly because the needed centered point is not there to complete the energy transfer.
For this reason it is best to use traditional pendulum shapes for your pendulums for most accurate results.
Step 2 Cleanse Your Pendulum
Once you have your pendulum of choice, it is always wise and advised to cleanse it before you perform any form of divination with it.
The easiest and most simple way to cleanse your pendulum would be to take some sage incense or a sage smudge stick and light them to where they are smoking well. Take your pendulum and pass it through the smoke several times. You can perform a prayer as you pass the pendulum through the smoke for added benefit if you choose.
Another way for cleansing would be to make up a salt water bath for it. If your pendulum is made from a gemstone this is a good method for cleansing. Take some cold water and mix it with some salt, preferably purification salts, though dead sea salt can also be used. Dunk your pendulum into the water several times and then when finished, dry it off very well.
For metal and wood pendulums this is not a good method as the salt can damage your pendulum, so the sage smoke cleansing method would be better suited for these pendulums.
Step 3 Use Your Pendulum
After you have cleansed your pendulum it is time for you to use it. Before you use a pendulum it is always best to ensure that you perform a protection ritual or spell before hand. The reasons for this is because when using any form of divination tools such as crystal balls, scrying mirrors, or pendulums, you are opening door ways not only to your subconscious, but also to the spirit world. Spirits often are summoned through divination whether intentionally or unintentionally to aid the seeker in finding their answers.
Even if you are not calling out to the spirits for aid, they will still be attracted to the divination tool because it is a doorway from their realm to ours and they often try to step through with or without our permission. This often leads to negative entities and demonic presences that can sometimes use these tools as a means to attack the seeker.
If you choose to neglect the protection ritual or spell, then be warned that you are at risk of attracting unwanted energies to you.
Take your pendulum by the chain or attached medium and hold it inbetween your index finder and thumb. Rest your arm that is holding the pendulum on a table or firm surface by the elbow and let the pendulum dangle loosely. Ensure that there is enough slack for it to swing freely and without obstruction.
Make sure your hand holding the pendulum is steady and does not move at all, also ensure that pendulum will not be influenced in any way by things such as a fan, open window, or air conditioning unit.
Once you are ready, close your eyes and clear your mind as best you can. It is important that you keep your mind blank. Try to envision however your subconscious mind opening up, almost like a door is opening in the back of your mind. Imagine energy coming out of this open door and shooting up from your mind and into the pendulum.
Try to focus on this for several minutes. The intention of this exercise is to charge the pendulum with your energy, by charging you are making the pendulum more powerful and more accurate.
Once you feel the pendulum is charged enough, open your eyes slowly, and stare at the pendulum, focus on the pendulum point(the end of the pendulum) and then ask the pendulum to show you what it's response will be to a "yes" answer for a question you ask.
For example, you can ask your pendulum "Show me Yes." after you say this, wait and watch which way your pendulum will swing. Some pendulums will swing either back and forth or circular. Whichever way it goes in response to that question will be it's direction for "yes". Do the same for "no"("Show me No") and ensure that the pendulum stops COMPLETELY then begins to turn in the opposite direction. This will then be "no".
Once you have seen the directions in which your pendulum is moving for yes and no answers, you can then begin to ask your questions. Begin by asking obvious questions such as..."do i work at..." or "is my name...." if the pendulum is correct in these answers then ask the questions that want an answer for.
It is always important when you ask your question to try and keep your mind BLANK when you ask. If you focus on the question you can influence the swing of the pendulum with your conscious mind, and it is the subconscious that you want to answer since the subconscious mind is the higher state of mind and holds the true answers that you seek.
If spirits are aiding you in your answers, the pendulum may vary well swing very strongly depending on the strength of the spirit. Spirits however are notorious for giving bad and inaccurate answers on purpose. If it is a good and helpful spirit this can be one of the best ways to get an accurate answers to your question. If however, you have a mischievous or malevolent spirit, they will purposefully make your pendulum reading frustrating and possibly even dangerous.
