| IN OUR ONENESS...KNOW THY SELF |

Pyromancy- noting shapes in burning flames. Often spirit is said to manifest through FIRE, as fire is the closest element to pure energy. Be seated. Stare deeply into and fixedly into the glow, counting your heartbeats under-breath. Do you see what I see?  Add Comment  None of us can travel too far in life and remain a stranger to death. Death is something we all have to face. The terminal departure causes us pain, and grief that tears us apart. When we stand at the casket of a loved one who has died, we weep and the heart drowns in the depths of sorrow. The idea that death is absolute end of existence scares many people, because our time together is over, but what if your loved one wasn't really gone forever? Death is not the end but, rather a passage to the afterlife. Humans possess an immortal soul is a doctrine shared in many faiths. Almost all people since the beginning of the human race have believed in some form of afterlife. Only in recent times and only in Western countries, have a large number of people maintain death is oblivion. What if invisible entities capable of surviving the death of the physical body wander about on their own time line. No more good-byes or separation for your loved one is close by. I believe people live, even though they die a physical death. I am a believer in Spirits. I have a definite belief in existence of an afterlife, because I have had experiences involving manifestations. I simply know. When you are sad, lonely and feeling disconnected from loved ones who have crossed over to the other side simply have a conversation with them. Make time for them in your daily life to bring peace to your grieving heart. You and you alone are the link between the living and of those the spirit world. Talk to Spirit. Tell your loved one about what you feel is important. Spirit will answer with a personal message so you will know they are near. Close your eyes, picture the person you miss standing before you and say: "______________, I am lost with out you. Please put your arms around me and hold me in your loving embrace. Whisper to me, let me know your here." Imagine the contentment that will result when dead loves are included in your life on the earthly plane. *picture taken from The Supernatural series- Spirits and Spirit Worlds. Author - Roy Stemman.

Toads are the most frequent of a witch's familiars and a standard ingredient of malicious and protection, magic spells; probably because toads can exude acids from glands in the skin if alarmed to protect themselves. In some circumstances it is a lucky creature, whose appearance means the end of a drought and general good fortune, possibly in the form of unexpected wealth. It is, however, unlucky to kill a toad, as this will bring on rainstorms.

Give the present to family and friends to attract true friends and to help find long-lasting love.

MERRY HOLIDAYS")  On December 21, the Sun enters Capricorn and we celebrate the Winter Solstice. I love this time of year. The beginning of the coldest period of the four seasons. The first snow of winter has arrived. The fields are covered in blanket of white and the tree top glisten. From the north gale winds blow and the frigid air nips at my nose. Bundled in winterize garments from head to toe, I move from one place to another in an unhurried gait. At night, the strings of bright lights, outlining windows and roofs twinkle like the stars above. A wreath adorn most doors. Inside the the four walls hang traditional decorations past from one generation to the next. Yule cards come and go with a merry wish for lots of happiness. The perfect gifts-a little something to say I care wrapped in shiny paper, ribbon, and bows lay beneath the lit tree, waiting to delight. Surprise visits from family and friends brings spontaneous entertaining. The birth of special memories to be cherished forever. Food and drink served with a smile, and tasty treats so delicious ar devoured. Compassion and mercy are the standard with loonies dropped here and toonies dropped there in the red kettles. Good will and joy are the norm, while making magical memories.  In the Northern Hemisphere the Winter Solstice around December 21, marks the beginning of winter and occurs when the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. The word Solstice literally means "standing still." At the Winter Solstice the sun rises, stands still, for a brief moment, then quickly dwindles to disappear beneath the horizon. The Winter Solstice marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year. Yule, one of the four lesser Sabbats, takes place each year around December 25. *Legend of Santa Claus-Santa is the Holly King, the sleigh is the Solar Chariot, the eight Sabbats and the horns represent the Horn God, the North Pole symbolizes the Land of the Shadows and the dying solar year, and the gifts meant both to welcome the Oak King as the sun reborn and as a reminder of the gift of the Holly King who must depart for the Oak King to rule. This is a great time to reflect upon the past and make plans for your future as the Sun illumines a pathway toward the achievement of your goals. *taken from pg.191-Yule Sabbat-Green Witchcraft Series Author Ann Moura http://annmoursgarden.com MERRY MEET, MERRY PART, TILL MERRY MEET AGAIN")  LIFE IS TO LIVED, LIFE IS TO BE EXPERIENCED, POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE, IN MODERATION, WITH A CLEAR MIND- CLEAN CONSCIOUS, WITH AN OPEN HEART- COMPASSION AND MERCY, DO AS YOU PLEASE, IN THE SHORT TIME GIVEN. 7 Virtures 7 Deadly Sins Truth Gluttony Beauty Ignorance Wisdom Uglyness Love Sloth-Lazy Humility Greed Patience Malice Orderlyness Vanity 3 Virtures-Hope, Faith, Charity Sacaments- Things Religion is based on: Babtism, Confirmation, Confession, Matermony, Priest- holy order from the priest, Communion, Last rights.
