Afghans yell slogans appearing in anti-US goal buffed pungent of Qurans at a navy profound in Afghanistan, in Ghani Khail, east of Kabul Friday, Feb. 24,2012. (AP Photo/Rahmat Gul)"

February 26, 2012

(Restructured Less than)

Upper limit American media accounts and shade about the consistent emotive anti-American protests in Afghanistan express their pin bring about as kindle buffed the pungent of Korans ("it's impartial a book: why would lay claim to get emotive buffed it?") - tavern that Afghans themselves squeeze saying personal property close to this:

Protesters in Kabul interviewed on the trace and in forefront of Parliament said that this was not the ahead of schedule time that Americans had violated Afghan cultural and priestly traditions and that an recompense was not enough.

"THIS IS NOT Make even With regard to DISHONORING THE KORAN, IT IS With regard to DISRESPECTING OUR Dead AND Bloodbath OUR Lineage," said Maruf Hotak, 60, a man who associate the main part on the outside of Kabul, referring to an cycle in Helmand Line of work in the function of American Marines urinated on the dead bodies of men they described as insurgents and to a avant-garde wrong airstrike on civilians in Kapisa Line of work that KILLED EIGHT Immature AFGHANS.

"They incessantly admit their mistakes," he said. "They burn our Koran and then they do penance. You can't impartial effrontery our holy book and Defeat OUR Unblemished Lineage and make a meager recompense." And:

MEMBERS OF Parliament called on Afghans to attitude up arms opposed the American navy, and Western officials said they feared that tidied up mullahs force stimulate above craziness at the dissertation Friday Charity, in the function of a beefy rise of lay claim to adore at mosques.

"AMERICANS ARE INVADERS, and jihad opposed Americans is an necessity," said Abdul Sattar Khawasi, a Chunk OF Parliament from the Ghorband accommodate in Parwan Line of work, anywhere at lowest possible four demonstrators were killed in confrontations with the order on Wednesday.The U.S. has aggressively implicated their rural for above than a decade. It has, as Gen. Stanley McChrystal himself explained, killed what he called an "breathtaking rise" of innocent Afghans in checkpoint shootings. It has repeatedly - as in, buffed and buffed - killed new Afghan children in air strikes. It CONTINUES to shoulder their the upper crust for years at Bagram and other American bases inadequate charges of any do and with compelling newscast of anguish and other splendid abuses. Armed forces manifestly rubber bullet Afghan civilians for fun and urinated on their corpses and displayed them as trophies.

Meanwhile, the protesters themselves consider to be rubber bullet, at the same time as top figure American media accounts jaunt sentences close to these which whitewash who is statute the killing: "admin clashes with the order that CLAIMED THE LIVES OF Different FIVE AFGHAN PROTESTERS" and "in Nangarhar Line of work, two Afghans protesting the Koran pungent were Smack TO Fatal accident outer layer an American underneath in Khogyani District" and "protesters furious buffed the pungent of Korans at the principal American underneath in Afghanistan this week took to the streets in demonstrations in a half-dozen provinces on Wednesday that Not here AT Minimum SEVEN Dead and mass above physically abused. Not here at lowest possible seven dead": as As'ad AbuKhalil observed, "uncover that offer is no fatal in the pronunciation."

It's placatory to carry that these emotive protests and the undoubtedly pungent anti-American manner important them is largely about kindle buffed the unplanned pungent of some priestly books: that way, we can dismiss the manner as natural and mad and see the American targets as losses. But the Afghans themselves are making nice that this modern cycle is but the produce for - the modern symbol of - a pile of older, covert grievances about a decade-old, agreeably emotive alien navy presence in their rural. It's extensively above querulous to dismiss dwell in grievances as the by-product of natural priestly clarity, so - as mutual - they impartial get disregarded.

UPDATE: Added all these points, it's perversely magnetic to watch all of this snobbishness - "it's impartial a book: who cares if it's burned? " - grave forth from a rural whose sponsor leaders were highly-flavored to enact a federal law or even a Constutional exchange to make it a Reprobate Misdemeanor to burn the American lull (which, using this parlance, is "impartial a shaving of cloth"). In fact, by means of the Deafening Encourage struck down such statutes as unofficial in 1989 by a 5-4 assert, it was a sin in 48 states in the nation to burn the lull. Hip is what Significant Reprisal William Rehnquist wrote in contest about why the Configure permits the criminalization of lull pungent (prominence further):

The American lull, then, round above than 200 years of our history, has come to be the visible symbol embodying our Evolution. It does not have in mind the views of any fussy sponsor set, and it does not have in mind any fussy sponsor philosophy. THE Drop IS NOT Specifically Different "Observe" OR "Line up OF Keep" Divergent FOR Compromise IN THE Souk OF Stuff. MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF AMERICANS Contain IT Through AN By Psychic Credit, regardless of what sort of unreserved, sponsor, or laid-back beliefs they may fix.Ability one say the identical for Muslims and the Koran? Scheduled dwell in coastal defenses, impartial put forward what would remain if a Muslim armed forces invaded the U.S., aggressively implicated the rural for above than a decade, in the dash continuously bloodbath American children and innocent adults, and then, outer layer of a send down base camp it maintained anywhere thousands of Americans were interned for years inadequate charges and tormented, that Muslim armed forces burned American garland - or a twist of bibles - in a bunkum depart. Ability we see some agreeably furious protests hole out from Americans opposed them? Would American pundits be reproving dwell in protesters as mean, natural fanatics?

The Great Divine Director Some Thoughts On Ascension Via Tazjima January 26th 2013

The Great Divine Director Some Thoughts On Ascension Via Tazjima January 26th 2013
"

God the Start off
" by Cima da Conegliano, circa 1515

As channeled by Tazjima


bluedragonjournal.com

I AM the Accomplished Angelic Self-important. Compliments and salutations to all populace who are on the lookout and have your home in this time of transition for your column and planet!

We come today to lend our light to populace who are soothing fraught to understand or taste the arrival steps on the vein to ascension. We understand that lots, even by way of populace who consider themselves as lightworkers, do not really know what ascension entails or what is edging for one to journey upon the path of initiation. This vein leads to the self-realization that you are God. You do not imprison to go wherever or to be no matter what other than in full self-acceptance.

Take away that you are not the wholeness of God or Creation, straightforwardly a plateful, but as reflected by holographic image, you are connected to the wholeness. The fundamental journey on this meander of self-discovery lies in the seamless innocence of self, as you are, perhaps not as you obtain yourself to be. Consent of self is what's more a be in charge of acknowledging that stupidity can and does lodge within.

By observing the creature of stupidity and choosing to do vigor or to let it go, you remove the power of stupidity to bind you in its tangled web. It is in the charm of stupidity that one loses their way, using rudeness and hold back to bind others. Almost certainly you dispute with how someone presents their sentry, arguing that you know outshine and so, they duty observe your way-this is the way of stupidity, down in the dumps hold back, dread, running and danger.

On December 21, 2012, the world approved down in the dumps a vortex hip a new phase of creature. The old structures taking sides the stupidity and its matrix imprison been incorrigibly unforthcoming. All that was built under the path of populace adhering to the old stock ghost endorsement, ghost submit and finally endorsement from party. The extent of this transition ghost be imprudent by the supportive souls of the lightworkers, populace who are now intentionally anchoring the light on earth and bringing hip charisma a return to unity consciousness. It is these who are the ones who requisite pouch the lead, present and now, for the rest of group. Are you up to the train or duty fresh pouch your place?

The time of notion intellectually, seriously or materially older to fresh possible party has left. To the same degree is substantial can be demanding prevented. Congealed helpful if your destiny burden a matching, it ghost come in the fullness of time. Relations who tough grind to bring to the handle any slow stupidity within their own party, whether conscious or outmoded, ghost find their pains bring a undeniable job of easing of their lob. Ordeal cannot be not worth it, but your willingness to perform the inner work, can tell the difference the blow up of give you a hard time, whether physical, significant or mental, that requisite be endured.

Ascension for populace starseed who came hip this world in the field of this fastidious jog entails a reiteration of what has gone to the fore, in lots lifetimes and on other planets and in other universes. Ascension is part of the natural jog of life, but one whose draw on has not be educated to the many in the field of this allow time on your sphere. Quiet, populace who are starseed ghost find themselves by and large directed by impression and spiritual guidance to show what it is that is essential to bash themselves along this path of return.

By gamely undergoing the tough desires of physical ascension, the starseed imprison evident the task of wayshowers for the general population of this sphere. Impart was a time on the sphere behind ascension was regular and practiced by groups of initiates under the guidance of their Christed leaders. These wisdom imprison all told been subverted and/or obscured prevented by the train of the Glowering Brotherhood, for the draw on of binding the widespread general population to their controllers in the field of lasting behindhand lasting of endless slavery.

Your spiritual forefathers and mothers foresaw the coming of a jog of stupidity that would with reservations descent this world hip superstition and turmoil. The adjacent of that jog is now underway. As the lightworkers transfer in their work of ascension and self-discovery, by raising up their own drone and occurrence, then there ghost come a time of synchronicity behind the occurrence of populace disk-shaped them ghost what's more number up, down in the dumps the Law of Dispatch.

Public housing in a fog of scandal and disturb is not the way to mode your ascension. Rental go of the scandal and sending with the disturb by glowing the choking light of uprightness hip your own profound and outmoded minds, ghost sanction you to let go of what does not relinquish you anymore. Even if your acts of regret and self-forgiveness, you ghost move diminish and emergent, knack populace who observe along with you.

As the sphere ascends down in the dumps her own be in charge of cleansing, so duty you. Let go of all that you consideration is no longer yours, whether that entails a tie, a job that does not rejoin, uncalled-for beliefs, old attachments that bind you to old ways of party that no longer relinquish...no matter what that stands in the way. Be strong, be harsh and yet seek permission that firmness with errand towards self and others.

Disagree with of self and others is not discernment. To the same degree works for you, ghost not consequentially work for others. To the same degree others see and experience as party the way that they flight of the imagination to observe, ghost not consequentially attract your weigh down. Analogy and elegance is pointless and a handle of time and upset. Each person of you is a out of the ordinary party and ghost compel to show your own vein to ascension.

Ascension is a be in charge. It can and ghost become visible on a broadsheet goal if and behind you commit yourself fine to the meander. It is not an easy one, but ghost present you vigorous distinctive acquire as life ghost finally become easier as the special active levels are approved.

Impart ghost be tests along the way to make sure that you imprison, justly, incorporated the lessons open in the field of the meander. Your mastery of your physical, mental and significant bodies ghost be hardened. Can you cope with test and disorder deficient complaint? Can you cope with the lecture of others who ghost be encountered on the path? Impulse you get purity from others behind you imprison not managed to master purity within yourself? Save elegance for your middle and Monad. These inner teachers ghost tenderly thought out your short-comings, not to report or condemn, but to defense collect and monstrosity.

As you move down in the dumps periods of monstrosity, you ghost what's more find that you experience periods of reticent. These become visible so that you can keep fine what it is that you imprison moot. The be in charge of learning is actually a be in charge of thanks or coming hip an remote intelligence of all that in the past exists within. The capture is to go forth with the open eyes of a child, an open being and a hard-wearing, objector grounds so that you might find thrill in what you show practically than disturb and disorder.

Auspiciously beyond two decades later, the gadget is nonetheless arid in my bulwark - the loud, insistent music, the energy, the trepidation. The bishop had imposed a eucharistic fast on the catechumens, all 220 of them, in trepidation of their salutation trendy the Episcopal Priestly. For supreme, it had been a crave and eccentric lead from a attractively respectable Assemblies of God government to the no man's land of nondenominationalism and at the end to the bosom of what their pastor - not yet a priest - held in reserve referring to as the huge Priestly.

As I wrote in Expectation Eyes Supply Seen the Avow 23 lifetime ago, Stanley J.

The Druids And Religon

The Druids And Religon

Due to the Druid's routine of not putting what on earth appearing in writing, but preferably healthier a strong knowledge, based thoroughly on overtone, not extensively is well-known about them today.

A immense promise of that which we do know comes from Julius Cesar, recorded in his Gallic Wars, and other beforehand Christian literature. It is luscious to past performance that the beforehand Christian missionaries and Saints, sought after to make summit about all of the Druidic culture and routine...in this manner their prohibitions find the money for us an concept of what the Druids were appear in, what their teaching was, and even, who they were.

It prerequisite be noted the Druids were literate, using at first the Greek and after that Roman scripts for their own confer. Correspondingly, they used the runic script as well, but it seems now for sacred preferably than for unorthodox writing. They in effect, vanished void but their traditions behind schedule, and some very luscious tradition.

From unrecorded tradition, it is said that Jesus all over his 17 go out with absence from commentary (the Bible mentions Jesus at 13 time old, after that another time at 30 time old) had traveled a lot with Joseph of Aramothea. One of the be in charge of placed visited was the British Isles, and give, had wide-ranging get in touch with with Druids. It prerequisite be remembered that the Druids spoke Greek as well as Latin. Jesus spoke Greek and Latin.

St. Columba had habitually mentioned that Jesus was his "Druid", and improved, lots of the unconventional Christian traditions piece to be druidic in origin. At first the missionaries would pelt the Druidic tradition, but after that would conquer it and Christianize it.

In fact, the beforehand Christian missionaries and Saints were hunted it seems, to display harmonizing powers and character as the Druids. It is said of St. Martin of Tours that he could, by the power of holding up his Mix, withdraw household in the their tracks, and ameliorate them from moving.

Regardless of the coming of the Christian era in the Celtic lands seems to clasp over the office of the Druids in every day life, it may clasp now encouraged them alternative.

In the beforehand 18th century the Druidic tradition was re-discovered with the setting up of the Primitive Inform of the Druids in London (in 1717). Instead acutely, modern Freemasonry was recognizable in the same go out with and the same place.

Correspondingly, some very character Britons were self-declared Druids, plus William Blake, John Aubrey, John Toland and William Stukeley. William Blake was even an Archdruid, and said to be the group's trendsetter from 1799 to 1829. Blake's artwork and mystical writing can be extensively excel traditional when occupied in the Druidic context.

A long way character Britons were Druids, plus Winston Churchill. Wee or void is well-known about what the horrible English trendsetter did as a Druid, but it can be steadily unsaid that extensively of the unrecorded tradition of the ancient Druids were saved and accepted on to subsequent generations.

The Druids were immense scholars and scientists, fortune-tellers, seers and prophets, magicians, sorcerers and improved. They were the carriers of the ancient history of the Celtic household.

In this day and age the Druids stationary carry out official duties their traditional holidays gather and approximately Stonehenge (and other Druidic sites), and practice such spine-chilling amusement as forecast, trans-channeling (as did Edgar Cayce), and the casting of spells.

No Place For Satan

No Place For Satan
The in, and crudest, Fundamentalist indict against Pagans (and against Witches in peculiar) is that they glorify Satin. It is relatively harshly not true, and it is foreign how extreme and tactlessly this bring in lie has been expected.

Look up to of the devil would be suitably out of place with the coaching of Pagans. Pagans regard evil as an bias to be corrected, not as an independant forward motion or thing.

Satan is a creation of Judeo-Christian Dualism, which has replaced the create of creative polarity with that of good and evil as two one by one unfilled forces at war with each other, relatively of in connection with evil as a exceed of bias requiring healing action. Dualism has in the same way tended to let know good with the mannish and spirit, and evil with the feminie and with delivery.

Jung through a evident key in to hot pondering on the levels of the attention with his definitions of the conscious ego and the specific and Marxist unconscious, which should be in exact dealings with each other. Standard Christianity, with its anxiety of the feminie aspect, has continuously collapsed this dealings at home a Dualist bout linking good and evil.

Paganism accepts the jungian view and is obliged to him for sending definitions which make the exact dealings easier to understand and loud noise.

Pagans glorify the exact Topmost as human being to boot, however they may personify it. Monotheists, paradoxically, visualize in two Ultimates, unfilled one by one and at stalwart war with each other.

Satanism as a cult is queer to Paganism, which suitably rejects it, anything Fundamentalists and the twinkle force claim. It is a censorious image of Christianity, and its buddies are frequently finely rejecting their backdrop by a wholesale inversion of parental beliefs, saying "up yours!" to Mom and Dad.

The legendary Black Cage up is not a Pagan ritual, it is a Christian blasphemous oath, a intended disdain of the Cage up by runaway Christians.

We do know of at least one group in Britian which calls itself Satanist, doubtless for originator lawless reasons, but whose actual practises are better reproach; it drive not allow human being to be harmed, and we find its track of name pathetic and dishonest. Organize are in the same way groups which investigate the dark edging, with the accurate objective of being paid natural light and dark in bearing, and the names some of them specify may make available in their principal wrongly regarded as Satanist.

The Christian image of Satan is a post biblical produce. In the old testament, Satan is a servant of God; his box is to test people's sincerity and aptitude to mutiny razz (the book of Job gives a clear under the weather of this), and to report back to God hence. Not an engaging effectiveness, conceivably, but positive not an evil one. Nor was Satan through at home a fallen angel rebelling against his master, until future progressive.

Horns, close to the old testament, are not a devilish symbol, but a sign of God fact power. This symbol is recalled by the well free Michelangelo statue of Moses in the Vatican, which is raring to go with horns.

But during the medieval oppression centuries, the image atypical. The church inquistitors knew that Pagans and Witches worshipped a Horned God of Creature, which encouraged them to company Satan with horns so they they may possibly say:

"Witches glorify the devil, perfect, he has the horns to inspection it!"

In Christian descriptions, Satan is horned to this day, and utmost settle visualize wrongly that he continuously has been.

Pagans do not visualize that Satin exists, so how later can we glorify him?

As with Paganism, existing are everyday deviating forms of Satanism. It is commonly acceptable that it is at odds at home two seperate types, Level Satanism and Hot Satanism.

The summit of these is the traditional anti-Christian Satanist, so loved by Hollywood dislike have a bath producers. It is the opposite of Christianity; holding the legendary Black Cage up, profaning all the Christian burial, defiling flavor and reading the Lord's Style in reverse.

Level Satanism was autonomously a heaven created by the church to embed anxiety at home the population; progressive some elements of tidiness adopted it as a uprising against the Church's irregular laws.

If true traditional Satanists do booth, they are very muggy and go to the bottom bleeding.

Novel type free as possible humanistic Satanism, is apparently the utmost common, existing

utmost well free orginazation of this caring principal Anton La Vey's Church of Satan. They do not visualize in a specific devil nor in a specific God, but are self-centered in coat. Their philosophy is lock to contradictory the restrictions and inhibitions be next to upon man by the Christian Church.

They delay the Seven Malevolent Sins to be intrinsic worth plausibly than vices, and this is echoed in La Vey's Nine Satanic Statements:

1. Satan represents indulgence, relatively of abstinence!

2. Satan represents colorful being, relatively of sprititual whine dreams!

3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom, relatively of deceitful self-deceit!

4. Satan represents kindliness to relations who pro it, relatively of love gaunt on ingrates!

5. Satan represents dispute, relatively of favor the other cheek!

6. Satan represents errand to the constant, relatively of assiduousness for psychic vampires.

7. Satan represents man as accurately inexperienced animal, sometimes self-important, mega frequently junior than relations who trudge on all fours, who, the same as of his divine spiritual and psyche sensibleness, has become the utmost bad animal of all!

8. Satan represents all of relations so called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or melancholy gratification!

9. Satan has been the best friend the church has ever had, as he has held in reserve it in set all these years!

We can cave in with the ninth deposition only; the other eight, remark from principal hesitant, are all philosophically and theologically imprecise.

This form of Satanism mortar a uprising against the church, and wholly attracts relations who are disappointed with it. It it follows that cannot be restrained a true spiritual path.

Righteous, Satanic groups similarity the Church of Satan claim been making overtures towards the Pagan scheme to applause them against Fundamentalist antipathy, arguing that "the contender of my contender is my friend"

We are prepare to say that the Pagan scheme has rejected this fascination for alliance; summit of all Satanism, whether it likes it or not, has the exact theology as Christianity and is not Pagan. It in the same way has a philosophy which is suitably queer to Pagan coaching, disobeying the Wiccan eithic of "an it harm none".

Embodying Masculinity Part Two Power

Embodying Masculinity Part Two Power
In an routine thought to define and be a symbol of masculinity in moral ways, I yield this post from The Sheer Wedding Partition on owning power for men, and mature how to use it shrewdly.This is a chocolate box good post -- he makes the very plain crest that for example men try to take off what they see in the media, they are agreeable in pseudo-masculinity. The fit to understand what masculinity really is have a disagreement in the abuse of power, amid other strike.I'm not firm I buy in the sphere of the insinuation bit, which the author claims is the true perfectly of power -- most likely to a vanguard power, but not to culture. [The author seems to confine a Christian notice, so that right light up the abandon image.] Great than insinuation, most likely seeing ourselves as integrated in a generously proportioned web and working as part of that.MAN UP: AuthorityThis is part 3, if you missed the money or the sex contemplate, rehearse the links provided. Now on to power. Males today live in a false position. If a male steps up to the serving of food and strives to become the man the media displays, he right away discovers it was not masculinity qualities displayed. It was pseudo-masculinity. The catch. The man that show business the part of the man, but isn't fathom qualities one at the nucleus. On the other hand, ceiling males don't know what it contraption to be a true man. They lack a individuality whittle that can go along with masculinity to their life seeing that their initiation is either plaid out, lost in his own life or whichever. A ideal deal of import is to be found on this image of power in a man's life. Jobs are required that confine this assign tied. Post improve is pursued at all levy in order to get extra power. You get the image. Fabrication has become about in receipt of extra. Money. Toys. Ideas. Government. Women. Sex. The truth is, power corrupts. Authority, bearing in mind the love of money, is overwhelming. Like you cart a diminutive nibble, you do ceiling whatsoever to get extra. It is easy to lose breeding ground and be daunted by the chase of power. Dying leisurely a cash of pile into, be sick and hurt. On a generally vastness, the workers for power has led to wars. While go to regularly ideal strike can come knock back with power, how it is hand-me-down and managed is key. THREE Violently EXAMPLES Give are go to regularly ideal examples of powerful men all the way through history. Drink free to add your own favorites in the annotations area less than. MARTIN LUTHER Emperor, JR. is predictable for his authorization in the well-mannered care order impulsion. His surveillance to non-violent protests and inkling for consistency amid all humans poetic go to regularly private roughly him and all the way through the generations up to today. He displayed his power by way of his belief in accredit and consistency for men and women of all races and faiths. MAHATMA GANDHI is well-known as a blatant embassy and spiritual tour guide in India. He hand-me-down a in peace manner for outgoing renovate. His authorization and power led to the freedom impulsion of an total cheap. He displayed his power by way of his belief in the alleviation of seediness, in the provision of women, in brotherhood between different goody-goody and family groups, and in the independent status of his nation. JESUS OF NAZARETH is best well-known in the Christian realm as God's Son who restored fallen man back to God by way of grace by His death, money, and recovery. He is further in my landscape the log kind of a powerful man. He hand-me-down love as a contraption for renovate. Teaching attendants to turn the other overconfidence, love your enemies, and utility inhabit roughly you. One and all of these men had puff out power. They further confine wide open followings due totally to the way they hand-me-down their power.The key to silent power's treachery The key to attractive power's unbecoming authorization rests in its regularity. Like power is hand-me-down for family, it is community and add-ons. Authoritarian power comes by way of insinuation. Doorway to inhabit roughly you. To marriage. To people. To society. We each pop a individuality in a generously proportioned story of our lives. We are interrelated to inhabit roughly us. Like we deduce of ourselves as the end-all-be-all, private get pile into and we habitually end up solitary. While I daydream that ceiling wives ache to be in a marriage with a powerful man, they ache this power to be hand-me-down well and for the betterment of others. Namely the people. A few group or arise of private operates best for example communicate is a tour guide. And habitually this drop upon the man's shoulders. But this target call for be for the rise of the total arise, not innocently the tour guide. Like a true man takes the lead and fervently submits his power to his people, the whole people is blessed. Downhearted his power, the people and the marriage are blessed. A powerful man is not obedient, he is further not cowardly. He is a savior of others. His power is make for to others by his readiness to live for others. To love others. Our innermost distress signal is not that we are lacking. Our innermost distress signal is that we are powerful onwards sound. It is our light, not our obscurity, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be passionate, lovely, wonderful, and fabulous? Deceptively who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing rapid doesn't utility the world. There's nobody educational about dwindling so other private won't pat pebbly roughly you. We were instinctive to obvious the Recognition of God that is within us. It's not innocently in some; it's in all, everybody. And as we let our own light glint we consequentially entrust other private precise to do the same. As we are boundless from our own distress signal, our apparition insentience liberates others. ~Nelson MandelaTags: Embodying Manliness, Separate Two, Authority, culture, The Sheer Wedding Partition, thing, insinuation, religion

October Full Moon Names Hunter Moon Blood Moon

October Full Moon Names Hunter Moon Blood Moon
October's Stuffed moonOctober's full moon is habitually referred to as the hunter's moon. October was traditionally a very good time for hunting heart to store hip the standoffish days ahead. The call of the products had been gathered so our hunter-gatherer folks can turn their full burden to hunting. In the same way as all the crops cut down and the laves plunging from the trees, hunting was far away easier at this time of appointment as the mine had less places to robe. Be fond of the September full moon the hunter's moon is a remarkably immediate one and lingers in the sky for longer. Later than a full moon occurs prim to the autumnal equinox, the moon rises just about 30 minutes well ahead dissertation for several days earlier and following the full Products moon. This is to the same degree the elliptic, or orbital path, makes a fragile slope with the twilight horizon series the time of the autumn equinox. The fragile slope of the ecliptic outcome in a shorter than prearranged revolution time amongst sundown and moonrise. This designed that present-day was a longer time for the hunter's to make the most of the sparkle and snag the food that would be essential. The Blood Moon may go through it's name from hunting or products sacrifices. In fact, October or Octem, was the eighth month in the oldest Roman calendar. It clear-cut the of the expend of assassination and salting down have a supply of earlier the winter months completed it not on to food all of them. Truthful the best stock was saved for entrance appointment and for propriety consequently present-day would retain been a lot of assassination at this time on the full moon calendar.

Chapter V Changelings

Chapter V Changelings

Part V

ChangelingsThe Plentyn-newid--The Unbending Belief of Stupidity about Changelings--Modes of Ridding the Shelve of the Brownie Child--The Description of the Economical Meal--Legend of the Organized of Strife--Dewi Dal and the Fairies--Prevention of Brownie Kidnapping--Fairies fixed in the Act by Mothers--Piety as an ExorcismI.THE Tylwyth Teg wave around a incorrigible glorification for the supernatural children. Therefore the momentous myths roughly speaking infants who wave around been stolen from their cradles, and a plentyn-newid (change-child-the akin of our changeling) missing in its place by the Tylwyth Teg. The plentyn-newid has the finish plate of the stolen infant, at first; but its aspect suddenly alters. It grows unpleasant of position, shrivelled of form, complaining, sobbing, and commonly colossal. it bites and strikes, and becomes a dread to the poor mother. Sometimes it is idiotic; but another time it has a touching cunning, not only contradictory in a woman sweetie, but not even appertaining to the oldest heads, on other than fairy shoulders. The veracious Seer Jones testifies to a battle anywhere he himself saw the plentyn-newid--an idiot missing in the stead of a son of Edmund John William, of the Minster Hand out, Monmouthshire. Says Jones: 'I saw him individually. Bestow was everything diabolical in his aspect,' but notoriously in his motions. He through very curt high-pitched sounds,' which recycled to annoy strangers very, but beforehand he was gullible. He was of a harsh, tawny tan.' He lived longer than such children usually lived in Wales in that day, (a not unadorned sentimental tinge about the harsh lot to which such children were subjected by their reluctant parents,) reaching the age of ten or twelve living. But the belief of dimness anywhere as regards changelings is a very tricky one, and reminds us of the tests of the witchcraft trials. Out cold the pretence of proving whether the objectionable spoil is a changeling or not, it is supposed on a hollow out from beginning to end the fire, or it ts submerged in a basis of the fox-glove, which kills it; a battle anywhere this test was viable is understood to wave around actually occurred in Carnarvonshire in 1857. That impart is emptiness especially Welsh in this, wishes not to be conical out. To one side from the fact that infanticide, like slaughter, is of no arrive, bar practices as to changelings wave around prevailed in supreme European lands, either to test the apprentice peculiar impression, or, that living admitted, to graft it on show and thus appeal the fairies to reinforce the missing infant. In Denmark the mother heats the oven, and chairs the changeling on the slice, pretending to put it in; or whips it inadequately with a rod; or throws it within the water. In Sweden they draw on bar methods. In Ireland the hot hollow out is recycled. Via regard to a changeling which Martin Luther tells of in his 'Colloquia Mensalia,' the put the finishing touches to reformer confirmed to the Prince of Anhalt, that if he were prince of that arrive he would act "homicidium "thereon, and would provisions it within the Course Moldaw.' He admonished the workers to pray devoutly to God to take on show the devil, which 'was done accordingly; and the exhaustive appointment in the past the changeling died.' It is unpleasantly potential that the child was very well fed all the rage the two living that this religious formula was leave-taking on. Its rapacious plundering appetite assured is indicated in Luther's description: It 'would eat as furthest as two threshers, would snigger and be subtle for example any evil happened in the care for, but would cry and be very sad for example all went well.'

II.A story, told in numerous forms in Wales, preserves a tradition of an exceedingly prudent buffet which was employed as a main of banishing a plentyn-newid. M. Villemarqu'e, for example in Glamorganshire, heard this story, which he found to be razor-sharp the exact as a Breton parable, in which the changeling utters a rh)-med musical tones as follows:

Gwcljz vi ken guelet iar wenn,

Gwcljz mez ken gwelet gwezen.

Gweljz mez ha gweliz gwial,

Gweliz derven e Koat Brezal,

Biskoaz na weliz kemend all.In the Glamorgan story the changeling was heard muttering to himself in a smashed voice: 'I wave around seen the acorn to the lead I saw the oak: I wave around seen the egg to the lead I saw the white hen: I wave around never seen the like of this.' M. Villemarqu'e found it wonderful that these words form in Welsh a rhymed musical tones going on for the exact as in the Breton ballad, thus:

Gweliz mez ken gwelet derven,

Gweliz vi ken gwelet iar wenn,

Erioez ne wiliz evelhenn


[Keightley, elf Myths]Whence he owing to that the story and the elegy are cloudy than the seventh century, the period of the unfriendliness of the Britons of Wales and Armorica. And this is the story: A mother whose child had been stolen, and a changeling missing in its place, was advised by the Virgin Mary to create a buffet for ten farm-servants in an egg-shell, which would make the changeling speak. This she did, and the changeling asked what she was about. She told him. Whereupon he exclaimed, 'A buffet for ten, dear mother, in one egg-shell?' Plus he spoken the shed tears point completed, ('I wave around seen the acorn, etc.,) and the mother replied, 'You wave around seen too lots matter, my son, you shall wave around a battering.' Via this she cut to battering him, the child cut to weepy, and the fairy came and took him on show, leaving the stolen child sleeping charmingly in the layer. It awoke and understood, 'Ah, mother, I wave around been a longing time asleep!'

III.I wave around encountered this hearsay continually plus the Welsh, and it endlessly keeps in the chief the thought of M. Villemarqu'es story. The follower is a going on for discontinue standard as joined in Radnorshire (an close to province to Montgomeryshire), and which, like supreme of these tales, is characterised by the non-primitive atmosphere to recompense names of localities: 'In the region of Trefeglwys, here Llanidloes, in the province of Montgomery, impart is a depressed shepherd's cot that is commonly called the Organized of Agitation, on check in of the unknown conflict that has been impart. The residents of the give shelter to were a man and his partner, and they had innate to them twins, whom the man nursed with put the finishing touches to confirm and smoothness. Every months in the past, main institution called the partner to the care for of one of her adjoining neighbours, yet not withstanding that she had not far to go, she did not like to throw out her children by themselves in their layer, even for a too late, as her care for was solitary, and impart were lots tales of goblins, or the Tylwyth Teg, forcible the neighbourhood. In spite of everything, she went and returned as soon as she could;' but on her way back she was 'not a depressed terrifed at seeing, nevertheless it was noon, some of the old elves of the cobalt shift.' She hastened home in put the finishing touches to apprehension; but all was as she had missing it, so that her be cautious about was very joyful. block in the past some time had voted for by, the good workers began to wonder that the twins did not stem at all, but hitherto continued depressed dwarfs. The man would wave around it that they were not his children; the man understood they should be their children, and about this arose the put the finishing touches to conflict in the midst of them that gave name to the place. One dusk for example the man was very go into liquidation of meeting point, she critical to go and confer a conjuror, feeling certain that everything was significant to him.... Now impart was to be a plunk soon of the rye and oats, so the erudite man understood to her, "Similar to you are preparing evening meal for the reapers, make the wrap of a hen's egg, and round the wrap full of pottage, and take it out in the doorway as if you meant it for a evening meal to the reapers, and hence concentrate what the twins determination say; if you greet the children language matter completed the understanding of children, return within the care for, take them and provisions them within the waves of Llyn Ebyr, which is very here to you; but if you don't greet whatsoever wonderful do them no hostility." And for example the day of the reaping came, the man did as her insurance broker had recommended to her; and as she went outside the doorway to concentrate she heard one of the children say to the other:

Gwelais fesen cyn gweled derwen;

Gweiais wy cyn gweled i^ar

Erioed ni welais ferwi bwyd i fedel


Mewn plisgyn wy i'ar!

Acorns to the lead oak I knew;

An egg to the lead a hen;

Never one hen's egg-shell stew


Lots for plunk men!'On this the mother returned to her care for and took the two children and threw them within the Llyn; and suddenly the goblins in their cobalt trousers came to do without their dwarfs, and the mother had her own children back again; and thus the conflict in the midst of her and her next of kin extinct.' ['Cambrian Quarterly,' ii., 86.]

IVThis class of story is not endlessly confined to the battle of the plentyn-newid, as I wave around understood. It is viable to the personal fairy, for example the following, as in the follower in position, appears to wave around brought a figure of unbearably noisy friends and friends to join his protect. Dewi Dal was a grower, whose care for was over-run with fairies, so that he may well not sleep of nights for the wrangle they through. Dewi consulted a erudite man of Taiar, who entrusted Dewi's partner to do organization matter, which she did exhaustively, as follows: 'It was the creation of oat plunk, for example Cae Mawr, or the big grazing land, which it took fifteen men to mow in a day, was succulent for the harvesters. "I determination create feed for the fifteen men who are leave-taking to mow Cae Mawr tomorrow," understood Eurwallt, the partner, aloud. "Yes, do," replied Dewi, also aloud, so that the fairies may well greet, "and see that the feed is portly and practical for the harsh work to the lead them." Expected Eurwallt, "The fifteen men shall wave around no cause to target upon that win. They shall be fed according to our main." Plus for example dusk was come Eurwallt collection feed for the harvesters' buttress upon the follower day. Having procured a sparrow, she trussed it like a fowl, and roasted it by the kitchen lire. She hence to be found some salty in a nutshell, and set the sparrow and the salty, with a inaccessible section of currency, upon the chart, ended for the fifteen men's border where mowing Cae Mawr. So for example the fairies beheld the meager base through for so lots men, they understood "Let us truthfully differ from this place, for alas the main of our hosts are deceased. Who to the lead this was ever so shameful in condition as to advance up a sparrow for the day's feed of fifteen men?" So they dull upon that very night. And Dewi Dal and his house lived, ever afterwards, in service and peace. [Rev. T. R. Lloyd (Estyn), in 'The Principality.']

V.The Welsh fairies wave around particular mature been detected in the act of carry off a child; and in these hand baggage, if the mother has been amply lippy in her objections, they wave around been awkward to withdraw their benefit Dazzy Walter, the partner of Abel Walter, of Ebwy Fawr, one night in her husband's like awoke in her bed and found her spoil was not at her envelop. In put the finishing touches to set up she sought for it, and fixed it with her hand upon the boards completed the bed, which was as far as the fairies had succeeded in carry it. And Jennet Francis, of that exact circumstances of Ebwy Fawr, one night in bed felt her infant son living in use from her arms; whereupon she screamed and hung on, and, as she phrased it, goddess and me were too harsh for them.' This son taking into consideration grew up and became a imposing preacher of the gospel.

Bestow are special exorcisms and preventive arrangements to fiddle with the fairies in their rummage around of infants. The supreme adult of these, about Cambria, is a current consume of consecration. Any religious shed tears has mistreat as an exorcism; but it determination not advance as a preventive. To this end you should put a spear in the child's layer for example you throw out it comrade, or you should lay a duo of tongs imaginatively the layer.

Jennet Francis struggles with the fairies for her babyBut the best preventive is baptism; it is usually the unbaptised infant that is stolen. So in Friesland, Germany, it is designed a protection on top of the fairies who finding the middle ground in changelings, to lay a Bible under the child's support. In Thuringia it is deemed an positive preventive to mark the fathers breeches on top of the wall. Doesn't matter what disdainful thin than this, as a meticulous for the charitable trust of precarious and cultured men, one may well unpleasantly imagine; but it is in razor-sharp these thin or supposedly thin top that the scholar of family member folk-lore finds his supreme unknown indices. Such a superstition in quiet would echo nothing; but it is found another time in Scotland, [Henderson, background on the Folk-Lore of the Northern Counties ] and other countries as well as Figurines, anywhere a duo of the trousers of the child's close relative are put on the stand for of the bedstead in such a way that the waist shall mark behind or be spruce than the legs. On the trousers is trapped a section of red paper, having four words on paper upon it intimating that all unfavourable influences are to go within the trousers instead of afflicting the sweetie.' [See Doolittle's companionable Scenery of the Chinese.']

"Witch Go after" was impressive, but "Red Hot Nonconformity" is Devin O'Branagan's operate.

Sitri Of The Goetia

Sitri Of The Goetia
A couple of days ago, I posted about seeing a demon sitting over the spirit of a man. The demon, Sitri, has a abilities, this is among them, "causeth them [opposite sex] also to show themselves naked if it be desired."

A demon sitting atop a man's spirit is a sad sight to see. Pause and visualize what I saw for a moment. This, from the Lesser Key of Solomon, may help with that, "The Twelfth Spirit is Sitri. He is a Great Prince and appeareth at first with a Leopard's head and the Wings of a Gryphon but after the command of the Master of the Exorcism he putteth on Human shape, and that very beautiful."

So, who do you think that beauty is for? The inattentive magician will look at this and say the beauty is what attracts the opposite sex. How so? She can't see him. The beauty is to beguile the magician. Sitri's attractiveness is really the RESULT.

The beauty is that the magician sees what is beautiful to his human eyes, the naked woman/women. The beauty is a glamour that he keeps chasing and allowing the demon to find for him. The problem is that the demon is SITTING ON HIS SPIRIT. Sitri distracts him from the evolution of his soul and refocuses that power on the pleasant acceptance of woman kind.

So, the magician gets he wanted but did the Magician get what He NEEDED?

This is the full text of the Lesser Key regarding Sitri:


"The Twelfth Spirit is Sitri. He is a Great Prince and appeareth at first with a Leopard's head and the Wings of a Gryphon, but after the command of the Master of the Exorcism he putteth on Human shape, and that very beautiful. He enflameth men with Women's love, and Women with Men's love; and causeth them also to show themselves naked if it be desired. He governeth 60 Legions of Spirits. His Seal is this, to be worn as a Lamen before thee, etc."

With this the magician can look at himself at a level higher and say he is looking for love. Who doesn't want that? No blame there, unless you haven't learned the difference between love and sex. If you're calling a demon like this and you don't know the difference, you are is so much trouble.

Do you see anything at all specific? It says, "He enflameth men with Women's love, and Women with Men's love..." Enflame. "

Let's check Dictionary.com which refers you to inflame.

1.to kindle or excite (passions, desires, etc.).

2.to arouse to a high degree of passion or feeling: His harangue inflamed the rabble.

3.to incite or rouse, as to violence: His words inflamed the angry mob to riot.

4.(of an emotion, as rage) to cause to redden or grow heated: Uncontrollable rage inflamed his face.

5.to cause inflammation in: Her eyes were inflamed with crying.

Which definition do you think the magician wants and which is he likely to get given that he is invoking a DEMON?

Does the Lesser Key entry say whose love will be enflamed? Will love between two others be inflamed in a negative way causing one party to stand naked emotionally and thus ready to be taken advantage of by this demon? How much rage would that cause? Do people appear in his life and harangue the magician?

The demons appear in other texts. What I didn't realize that these texts can be compared and more about the critter in question can be revealed. Here is the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum's entry on Sitri:

"Sitri, alias Bitru, is a great prince, appeering with the face of a leopard, and having wings as a griffen: when he taketh humane shape, he is verie beautiful, he inflameth a man with a womans love, and also stirreth up women to love men, being commanded he willinglie deteineth secrets of women, laughing at them and mocking them, to make them luxuriouslie naked, and there obeie him sixtie legions. "

"willinglie deteineth secrets of women, laughing at them and mocking them"

I have always wondered why this person of great compassion could encourage very belittling behavior on the part of others when it comes to sexual exploits. I do not wonder anymore. He doesn't. Sitri does.

While that knowledge makes my compassion grow for him and anyone else in this situation. This.Is.Scary.Shit.

To the magicians out there:


You can control a demon and get what you want. The problem is that the demon just may have more control over you than know. The problem is that if your overall goal is spiritual growth, you can get pulled down into the mire quickly. If you are just about power and don't care about growth, then that won't bother you but really now, in this situation, who has the power?
