<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: lime;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The Suits of the Tarot cards</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">There are four suits in the
Tarot cards and each suit has a different meaning.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The four suits are Wands,
Swords, Cups and Pentacles. Now before we get on to what each suit means I
would like to point out depending on which tarot card deck you are using these
suits may come under a different heading.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So for those of you not
using the Raider Waite deck, which does use the above names, let me explain the
other names you may come across in other decks.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Wands also known as staves, clubs,
rods, staffs, and even batons</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Swords also known as
daggers, blades or knives</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Cups also known as chalices,
bowls, cauldrons</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Pentacles also known as
coins and disks</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It makes no difference what
they are called they still have the same meanings behind them, the only
difference is which deck you use and how they are called in those decks.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">So then what do the Suits
actually mean?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Suit of Wands is representative of the
element of Fire. They have to do with energy; spirituality, inspiration,
determination, strength, intuition, creativity, and ambition Wands deal with
the spiritual level of consciousness and reflect what is important to you. They
address our personalities, egos, enthusiasms, and personal energy, both
internal and external. Wands are also indicative of things you do during the
day, working at the office, home or outdoors. Wands have to do with movement,
action and plans and the initiation of new ideas. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: lime;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Swords</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Suit of Swords is
representative of the element of Air. Swords are associated with action,
change, force, power, oppression, ambition, courage and conflict. This suit can
also mean hatred, battle, and enemies, and of all the suits, this one is
considered to be the most powerful and dangerous.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Suit of Swords deals with the mental
level of consciousness that is centred on the mind and mental power. Swords
reflect the quality of mind present in your thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs.
Swords are double-edged and represent the balance between intellect and power
and how they can be used for good or evil. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: lime;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Cups</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Suit of Cups is
representative of the element of water. Cups deal with the emotional level of
consciousness and are associated with love, feelings, relationships and
connections. Cups are about displays of emotion, expression of feelings and the
role of emotions in relation to others. Cups indicate that you are thinking
with your heart rather than your head, and therefore reflect your impulsive
responses and your usual responses to situations. Cups are also linked to creativity,
idealism, fantasy and imagination.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: lime;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span>Pentacles</span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">The
Suit of Pentacles represents element of Earth. Earth covers the more ordinary
material things of life, work, business, trade, property, money and other
material possessions. Pentacles deal with the physical or external level of
consciousness and reflect your health, finances, work, and imagination.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> </span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<br />
This talk was given by Julia Phillips at the Wiccan Conference<br />in
Canberra, 1991. It is mainly about the early days of the<br />Wicca in England;
specifically what we now call Gardnerian and<br />Alexandrian traditions.<br />
<br />
There are three main strands I intend to examine: one,<br />Gardner's claim of
traditional initiation, and its subsequent<br />development; two, magical
traditions to which Gardner would<br />have had access; and three, literary
sources.<br />
As we look at these three main threads, it is important to<br />bear in mind
that Gardner was 55 years old at the time of his<br />claimed initiation; that he
had spent many years in Malaya,<br />and had an enormous interest in magic,
Folklore and Mythology.<br />By the time he published High Magic's Aid, he was 65,
and 75<br />when "The Meaning of Witchcraft" appeared. He died in 1964, at<br />the
age of 80.<br />
<br />
Gardner was born in 1884, and spent most of his working adult<br />life in
Malaya. He retired, and returned to the UK in 1936. He<br />joined the Folklore
Society, and in June 1938, also joined the<br />newly opened Rosicrucian Theatre
at Christchurch where it is<br />said he met Old Dorothy Clutterbuck.<br />
I chose 1939 as my arbitrary starting point as that was the<br />year that
Gerald Gardner claims he was initiated by Old<br />Dorothy into a practising coven
of the Old Religion, that met<br />in the New Forest area of Britain. In his own
words,<br />
"I realised that I had stumbled upon something interesting;<br />but I was
half-initiated before the word, "Wica" which they<br />used hit me like a
thunderbolt, and I knew where I was, and<br />that the Old Religion still existed.
And so I found myself in<br />the Circle, and there took the usual oath of
secrecy, which<br />bound me not to reveal certain things." This quote is
taken<br />from The Meaning of Witchcraft, which was published in 1959.<br />
It is interesting that in this quote, Gardner spells Wicca<br />with only one
"c"; in the earlier "Witchcraft Today" (1954)<br />and "High Magic's Aid" (1949),
the word Wicca is not even<br />used. His own derivation for the word, given in
"The Meaning<br />of Witchcraft", is as follows:<br />
<br />
"As they (the Dane and Saxon invaders of England) had no<br />witches of their
own they had no special name for them;<br />however, they made one up from "wig"
an idol, and "laer",<br />learning, "wiglaer" which they shortened into
"Wicca".<br />
"It is a curious fact that when the witches became English-<br />speaking they
adopted their Saxon name, "Wica"."<br />
<br />
In "An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present", Doreen Valiente<br />does not
have an entry for Wicca, but when discussing<br />Witchcraft, does mention the
Saxon derivation from the word<br />Wicca or Wicce. In the more recently published
The Rebirth Of<br />Witchcraft, however, she rejects this Saxon theory in
favour<br />of Prof. Russell's derivation from the Indo-European root<br />"Weik",
which relates to things connected with magic and<br />religion.<br />
<br />
Doreen Valiente strongly supports Gardner's claim of<br />traditional
initiation, and published the results of her<br />successful attempt to prove the
existence of Dorothy<br />Clutterbuck in an appendix to "The Witches' Way" by
Janet and<br />Stewart Farrar. It is a marvellous piece of investigation,
but<br />proving that Old Dorothy existed does nothing to support<br />Gardner's
claims that she initiated him.<br />
<br />
In his book, "Ritual Magic in England", occultist Francis King<br />does offer
some anecdotal evidence in support of Gardner's<br />claims. However, it is only
fair to point out that in the same<br />book, he virtually accuses Moina Mathers
of murder, based upon<br />a misunderstanding of a story told by Dion Fortune!
With that<br />caveat, I'll recount the tale in full:<br />
<br />
King relates that in 1953, he became acquainted with Louis<br />Wilkinson, who
wrote under the pen-name of Louis Marlow, and<br />had contributed essays to
Crowley's Equinox. He later became<br />one of Crowley's literary executors. King
says that in<br />conversation, Wilkinson told him that Crowley had claimed
to<br />have been offered initiation into a witch coven, but that he<br />refused,
as he didn't want to be bossed around by a bunch of<br />women. (This story is
well-known, and could have been picked<br />up anywhere.)<br />
<br />
Wilkinson then proceeded to tell King that he had himself<br />become friendly
with members of a coven operating in the New<br />Forest area, and he thought that
whilst it was possible that<br />they derived their existence from Murray's "Witch
Cult in<br />Western Europe", he felt that they were rather older.<br />
King draws the obvious conclusion; that these witches were the<br />very same
as those who initiated Gardner. King claims that the<br />conversation with
Wilkinson took place in 1953, although<br />"Ritual Magic in England" was not
published - or presumably<br />written - until 1970. However, on September 27
1952,<br />"Illustrated" magazine published a feature by Allen Andrews,<br />which
included details of a working by, "the Southern Coven of<br />British Witches",
where 17 men and women met in the New Forest<br />to repel an invasion by Hitler.
Wilkinson had told King of<br />this working during their conversation, which King
believes to<br />be proof that such a coven existed; there are some
differences<br />in the two stories, and so it is possible that two sources
are<br />reporting the same event, but as Wilkinson's conversation with<br />King
came after the magazine article, we shall never know.<br />
<br />
In the recently published "Crafting the Art of Magic", Aidan<br />Kelly uses
this same source to "prove" (and I use the word<br />advisedly - the book "proves"
nothing") that Gardner, Dorothy,<br />et al created Wicca one night following a
social get together!<br />
<br />Of one thing we can be certain though: whatever its
origin,<br />modern Wicca derives from Gardner. There may of course be<br />other
traditional, hereditary witches, but even if they are<br />genuine, then it is
unlikely that they would have been able to<br />"go public" had it not been for
Gardner.<br />
<br />
There have been many claims of "hereditary" origin (other than<br />Gardner's
own!) One of the most famous post-Gardner claimants<br />to "hereditary" status
was actress Ruth Wynn-Owen, who fooled<br />many people for a very long time
before being exposed. Roy<br />Bowers, who used the pseudonym Robert Cochrane, was
another:<br />Doreen Valiente describes her association with him in
"The<br />Rebirth of Witchcraft", and The Roebuck, which is still active<br />in the
USA today, derives directly from Cochrane, via Joe<br />Wilson. "Witchcraft: A
Tradition Renewed" by Evan John Jones<br />with Doreen Valiente describes a
tradition derived from Robert<br />Cochrane. Alex Sanders, of course is another
who claimed<br />hereditary lineage, and like Cochrane, deserves his own
place<br />in this history, and we'll get to both of them later.<br />
<br />
Many people have been suspicious of Gardner's claims, and have<br />accused him
of making the whole thing up. They suggest that<br />the Wicca is no more than the
fantasy of an old man coloured<br />by a romantic imagination. One particularly
virulent attack<br />upon Gardner came from Charles Cardell, writing under
the<br />pseudonym of Rex Nemorensis.<br />
<br />
One of Gardner's initiates who is still active in the Wicca<br />today has an
interesting tale to tell about Cardell, whom he<br />knew:<br />
<br />
"Cardell claimed to be a Witch, but from a different tradition<br />to
Gardner's. Cardell was a psychopathic rat, with malevolent<br />intent toward all
and sundry. He managed to get a woman called<br />Olive Green (Florannis) into
Gardner's coven, and told her to<br />copy out the Book of Shadows so that Cardell
could publish it,<br />and destroy Gardner. He also contacted a London paper,
and<br />told them when and where the coven meetings were held, and of<br />course
the paper got quite a scoop. Cardell led people in the<br />coven to believe that
it was Doreen Valiente who had informed<br />on them.<br />
<br />
Doreen had just left Gardner in a bit of a huff after a<br />disagreement;
another coven member, Ned Grove, left with her.<br />Anyway, the day the paper
printed the exposure, Cardell sent<br />Gardner a telegram saying, "Remember Ameth
tonight". (Ameth<br />was Doreen's Craft name, and as it has now been published,
I<br />see no reason not to use it here)."<br />
<br />
My informant also said that Olive Green was associated with<br />Michael
Houghton, owner of Atlantis book shop in Museum<br />Street, who was the publisher
of High Magic's Aid. Through<br />this association, she also encountered Kenneth
Grant of the<br />OTO, although their association was not friendly.<br />
Cecil Williamson, the original owner of the witchcraft museum<br />on the Isle
of Man, and present owner of the Witchcraft Museum<br />in Boscastle, has also
published a number of articles where he<br />states quite categorically that
Gardner was an utter fraud;<br />but, he offers only anecdotes to support these
allegations.<br />
Although Gardner claimed his initiation occurred in 1939, we<br />don't really
hear anything about him until 1949, when "High<br />Magic's Aid" was published by
Michael Houghton.<br />
<br />
This book has very strong Solomonic leanings, but like<br />Gardner's own
religious beliefs, combined the more natural<br />forms of magic with high
ceremonial. In his introduction to<br />the book, Gardner says that: "The Magical
rituals are<br />authentic, party from the Key of Solomon (MacGregor
Mathers'<br />translation) and partly from magical MSS in my
possession)."<br />Gardner did indeed have a large collection of MSS,
which<br />passed with the rest of his goods to Ripleys in Toronto after<br />his
death.<br />
<br />
Scire (pseudonym) was the name Gardner took as a member of<br />Crowley's
branch of the OTO; although it is generally agreed<br />that his membership was
purely nominal, he was certainly in<br />contact with people like Kenneth Grant
and Madeline Montalban<br />(founder of the Order of the Morning Star).<br />
Gardner was given his OTO degree and Charter by Aleister<br />Crowley, to whom
he was introduced in 1946 by Arnold Crowther.<br />As Crowley died in 1947, their
association was not long-lived,<br />but Crowther confirms that the two men
enjoyed each other's<br />company.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1888, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was born,<br />beginning a
renaissance of interest in the occult that has<br />continued to the present day.
It is impossible to overstate<br />the importance of the GD to modern occultists;
not only in its<br />rituals, but also in its personalities; and of course,
through<br />making available a large body of occult lore that would<br />otherwise
have remained unknown, or hidden in obscurity.<br />
I will be looking at this body of occult lore with other<br />literary
influences later, and will here concentrate on the<br />rituals and personalities
that have influenced Wicca.<br />
<br />
We cannot look at the GD in isolation from its own origins. It<br />is
descended from a myriad of esoteric traditions including<br />Rosicrucianism,
Theosophy, and Freemasonry. The latter in its<br />own right, as well as via the
SRIA - a scholarly and<br />ceremonial association open to Master Masons only.<br />
Whether the German Lodge or Fraulein Sprengel actually existed<br />is a matter
still under debate; but either in fact or in<br />spirit, this is the source for
the "Cypher Manuscripts" which<br />were used to found the Isis-Urania Lodge in
1888.<br />
<br />
As I'm sure everyone knows, Isis-Urania was founded by Dr<br />Wynn-Westcott,
Dr Woodman, and MacGregor Mathers. Not only<br />were all three Master Masons;
Wynn-Westcott and Mathers were<br />also members of the Theosophical Society. The
most important<br />thing though is the fact the these three men were a
ruling<br />triumvirate that managed the affairs of the SRIA. This
is<br />important, for the SRIA included Hargrave Jennings in its<br />membership,
and Jennings is reputed to have been involved with<br />a Pagan group at the end
of the 19th century, which drew its<br />inspiration from Apuleius - The Golden
Ass.<br />
<br />
But back to the GD - whether the Cypher Manuscripts actually<br />existed, or
Wynn-Westcott manufactured them is now irrelevant;<br />Mathers was commissioned
to write-up the rituals into a<br />workable shape, and thus the Golden Dawn was
born.<br />
Members of the Isis-Urania Lodge at various times also<br />included Allan
Bennett, Moina Mathers, Aleister Crowley,<br />Florence Farr, Maud Gonne, Annie
Horniman, Arthur Machen,<br />"Fiona Macleod", Arthur Waite and WB Yeats. Also
associated<br />were Lady Gregory, and G W Russell, or AE, whose "The Candle<br />of
Vision" was included in the bibliography of "The Meaning of<br />Witchcraft". The
literary and Celtic influences within the GD<br />were immense.<br />
<br />
From the Isis-Urania Lodge sprang all the others, including<br />the so-called
Dissident Orders derived through Crowley. It is<br />this line that some
commentators trace to modern Wicca, so it<br />is the one upon which we will
concentrate.<br />
<br />
Aleister Crowley was initiated into the Isis-Urania Lodge on<br />18 November
1898. As you most probably know, Crowley later<br />quarrelled with MacGregor
Mathers, and in 1903 began to create<br />his own Order, the Argenteum Astrum, or
Silver Star. In 1912,<br />Crowley was initiated into the OTO, and in 1921,
succeeded<br />Theodor Reuss as its Chief.<br />
<br />
According to Arnold Crowther's account, it was in 1946, a year<br />before
Crowley's death, that Crowley gave Gardner an OTO<br />Charter. Ithell Colquhoun
says only that it occurred in the<br />1940s, and further states that Gardner
introduced material<br />from the OTO, and less directly from the GD, into "...the
lore<br />of his covens".<br />
<br />
As Doreen Valiente also admits, "Indeed, the influence of<br />Crowley was very
apparent throughout the (Wiccan) rituals.".<br />This, Gardner explained to her,
was because the rituals he<br />received from Old Dorothy's coven were very
fragmentary, and<br />in order to make them workable, he had to supplement them
with<br />other material.<br />
<br />
To give an example of some of the lines by Crowley which are<br />rather
familiar to modern Wiccans:<br />
I give unimaginable joys on earth; certainty, not faith, while<br />in life,
upon death; peace unutterable, rest, ecstasy; nor do<br />I demand aught in
sacrifice.<br />
<br />
I am Life, and the giver of Life, yet therefore is the<br />knowledge of me the
knowledge of death.<br />
And of course, the Gnostic Mass has been immensely<br />influential.<br />
Not only poetry, but also magical practices in Wicca are often<br />derived
from GD sources. For example:<br />
the way of casting the circle: that is, the visualisation of<br />the circle,
and the pentagrams at the quarters, are both based<br />upon the standard GD
Pentagram Ritual;<br />
both the concept and word "Watchtowers" are of course from the<br />Enochian
system of Magic, passed to Wicca via the GD (although<br />I would like to make it
very clear that their use within Wicca<br />bears no relation to the use within
Enochia - the only<br />similarity is in the name);<br />
the Elements and colours generally attributed to the Quarters<br />are those of
the GD;<br />
the weapons and their attributions are a combination of GD,<br />Crowley and
Key of Solomon.<br />
<br />
In "Witchcraft Today", Gardner says, "The people who certainly<br />would have
had the knowledge and ability to invent (the Wiccan<br />rites) were the people
who formed the Order of the Golden Dawn<br />about seventy years ago...".<br />
The GD is not the only influence upon Gardner; Freemasonry has<br />had a
tremendous impact upon the Wicca. Not only were the<br />three founders of
Isis-Urania Temple Masons, so too were<br />Crowley and Waite; Gardner and at
least one member of the<br />first coven (Daffo) were both Co-Masons. Gardner was
also a<br />friend of JSM Ward, who had published a number of books
about<br />Masonry.<br />
<br />
Doreen describes Ward as a "leading Mason", but Francis King<br />says only
that Ward was, "a bogus Bishop... who had written<br />some quite good but
far-fetched books on masonry, and who ran<br />a peculiar religious-cum-occult
community called The Abbey of<br />Christ the King..." Whether the books were
far-fetched or<br />not, we can assume that some of the many similarities
between<br />Wicca and Masonry are in some ways due to Ward's influence.<br />
<br />
Some of these include:<br />
The Three Degrees<br />The Craft<br />So Mote It Be<br />The Challenge<br />Properly
Prepared<br />The 1st Degree Oath (in part)<br />Presentation of the Working Tools
at 1st degree<br />
and so on.<br />
<br />
It seems to me quite clear that even if Gardner received a<br />traditional set
of rituals from his coven, they must have been<br />exceptionally sparse, as the
concepts that we know of as Wicca<br />today certainly derive from ceremonial
magic and Freemasonry<br />to a very great extent. Indeed, Gardner always claimed
that<br />they were sparse.<br />
<br />
It could be argued that all derive from a common source. That<br />the
appearance of a phrase, or technique in one tradition does<br />not automatically
suggest that its appearance elsewhere means<br />that the one was taken from the
other. However, Gardner admits<br />his sources in many cases, and Doreen confirms
them in others,<br />so I think it is safe to presume that the rituals
and<br />philosophy used by Wicca descends from the traditions of<br />Freemasonry
and Ceremonial magic, rather than from a single<br />common source. However, as
Hudson Frew points out in his<br />commentary upon Aidan Kelly's book, the
phenomena of the<br />techniques and practices of ceremonial magic influencing
folk<br />magic and traditions is widely recognised by anthropologists,<br />and
certainly does not indicate plagiarism. And of course<br />there are many
traditional witchcraft aspects in the Wicca.<br />
<br />
We have looked at the development of the magical orders which<br />resulted
from the British occult revival of the 19th and 20th<br />centuries, and now we
can see where this ties in with Wicca,<br />and Gardner's claim of traditional
initiation.<br />
I have here a "family tree" of the main branches of British<br />Wicca. It is
by no means exhaustive, and is intended to<br />provide an outline, not a
definitive history! I have included<br />my own coven lines and development as an
indication of the<br />kind of "cross-over" of tradition which often occurs, not
to<br />suggest that these are the only active groups! Also, it would<br />not be
ethical for me to include details of other covens.<br />
<br />
We have two possible "hereditary" sources to the Gardnerian<br />Craft: one,
the Horsa Coven of Old Dorothy, and two, the<br />Cumbrian Group which Rae Bone
claims to have been initiated<br />into before meeting Gardner. (NB: Doreen
Valiente says that<br />the Horsa Coven is not connected with Old Dorothy, but
is<br />another group entirely.) There is also sometimes mention of a<br />St
Alban's group that pre-dates Gardner, but as far as I know,<br />this is mistaken.
The St Albans group was Gardner's own group,<br />which as far as research
confirms, did not pre-date him.<br />
<br />
To return to Rae Bone: she was one of Gardner's HPSs, and her<br />"line" has
been immensely important to the modern Wicca; she<br />was featured in the
magazine series, "Man Myth and Magic" if<br />anyone has a copy of that.<br />
In her heyday she ran two covens: one in Cumbria, and one in<br />South London.
Rae is still alive, and lives in Cumbria,<br />although her last coven moved to
New Zealand many years ago,<br />and she is no longer active. No-one has ever been
able to<br />trace the coven in New Zealand.<br />
<br />
At this point, I will just mention George Pickingill, although<br />he is not
shown on the tree, as I think it extremely dubious<br />that he had any connection
with Gardner, or any other modern<br />Wiccan.<br />
Pickingill died in 1909, whilst Gardner was still in Malaya.<br />Eric Maple is
largely responsible for the beginnings of the<br />Pickingill myth, which were
expanded by Bill Liddell (Lugh)<br />writing in "The Wiccan" and "The Cauldron"
throughout the<br />1970s. Mike Howard still has some of Liddell's material
which<br />he has never published, and I have yet to meet anyone within<br />the
British Craft who gives credence to Liddell's claims.<br />
<br />
In the book, "The Dark World of Witches", published in 1962,<br />Maple tells
of a number of village wise women and cunning men,<br />one of whom is George
Pickingill. There is a photograph<br />included of an old man with a stick,
holding a hat, which<br />Maple describes as Pickingill. This photograph
has<br />subsequently been re-used many times in books about<br />witchcraft and
Wicca.<br />
Issue number 31 of "Insight" Magazine, dated July 1984,<br />contains a very
interesting letter from John Pope:<br />
"The photograph purporting to be Old George Pickingill is in<br />fact a photo
of Alf Cavill, a station porter at Ellstree,<br />taken in the early 1960s. Alf is
now dead, but he was no<br />witch, and laughed over the photograph when he saw
it."<br />
<br />
A very respected Craft authority has told me that he believes<br />the photo,
which is in his possession, to be of Pickingill,<br />but like so much to do with
Craft history, there is no<br />definitive answer to this one.<br />
Many claims were made by Liddell; some obviously from cloud-<br />cuckoo land,
others which could, by a stretch of the<br />imagination, be accepted. The very
idea of Pickingill, an<br />illiterate farm labourer, co-ordinating and
supervising nine<br />covens across the breadth of the UK is staggering. To accept
-<br />as Liddell avers - that he had the likes of Alan Bennett and<br />Aleister
Crowley as his pupils bends credulity even further.<br />
The infamous photograph which Liddell claims shows Crowley,<br />Bennett and
Pickingill together has conveniently disappeared,<br />and no-one admits to ever
having seen it. Like most of<br />Liddell's claims, nothing has ever been
substantiated, and<br />when pushed, he retreats into the time honoured favourite
of,<br />"I can't reveal that - you're not an initiate"!<br />
<br />
But to return to the family tree: the names of Doreen<br />Valiente, Pat and
Arnold Crowther, Lois Bourne (Hemmings),<br />Jack Bracelin and Monique Wilson
will probably be the most<br />familiar to you.<br />
Jack Bracelin is the author of Gardner's biography, "Gerald<br />Gardner,
Witch", (published 1960) now out of print, although<br />still available 2nd hand,
and in libraries. (In Crafting the<br />Art of Magic, Kelly claims that this book
was actually written<br />by Idries Shah, and simply published under Bracelin's
name. As<br />with every other claim, Kelly offers no evidence of this)<br />
I have seen a copy of Bracelin's Book of Shadows, which it is<br />claimed
dates from 1949, although in The Rebirth Of<br />Witchcraft, Doreen says that
Bracelin was a "relative<br />newcomer" in the mid-1950s. I have also been told by
two<br />different sources that Bracelin helped Gardner write "The<br />Laws". In
The Rebirth Of Witchcraft, Doreen states that she<br />did not see The Laws until
the mid 1950s, when she and her<br />partner Ned Grove accused Gardner of
concocting them in order<br />to re-assert control over the coven. As Bracelin was
in the<br />Gardner camp during the break-up of the group, it seems<br />reasonable
that he did in fact help with their composition.<br />
<br />(NB: Alex Sanders increased
the number of "The Laws" much<br />later - these appeared in June Johns' book,
"The King of the<br />Witches")<br />
Although Doreen claims that the reason for the coven break-up<br />was the fact
that Gardner and Bracelin were publicity crazy,<br />there was another reason,
which was the instatement of a new<br />lady into the coven, effectively replacing
Doreen as HPS. This<br />is also the main reason for Gerald's Law which states
that the<br />HPS will, "...gracefully retire in favour of a younger
woman,<br />should the coven so decide in council." Needless to say,<br />Doreen was
not impressed, and she and Ned left the coven under<br />very acrimonious
circumstances. It was quite some time before<br />Doreen had contact with Gardner
again, and they never quite<br />regained the degree of friendship that had
previously existed.<br />
<br />
Monique and Campbell Wilson are infamous, rather than famous,<br />as Gardner's
heirs who sold off his magical equipment and<br />possessions after his death, to
Ripleys in the USA.<br />
Monique was the last of his Priestesses, and many Wiccans<br />today still spit
when her name is mentioned. Pat Crowther was<br />rather scathing about her
recently in an interview, and in The<br />Rebirth Of Witchcraft, although Doreen
tells of the sale of<br />Gardner's magical possessions to Ripleys, she doesn't
ever<br />mention the Wilsons by name. In effect, the Craft closed
ranks<br />against them, and they became outcasts.<br />
<br />
Eventually, in the face of such opposition they had to sell<br />the Museum in
Castletown, and they moved to Torremolinos,<br />where they bought a cafe. Monique
died nine years after<br />selling the Museum. It is rumoured that Campbell Wilson
moved<br />to the USA, and met with a car accident there: this is only<br />hearsay
though - I really do not know for sure what happened<br />to him.<br />
<br />
However, Monique was influential in a way that even she could<br />not have
imagined, when in 1964 or 5 she initiated Ray<br />Buckland, who with his wife
Rosemary (later divorced), was<br />very influential in the development of the
Wicca in the USA.<br />
Fortunately, Richard and Tamarra James managed to buy the bulk<br />of
Gardner's collection back from Ripleys in 1987, for the<br />princely sum of
US$40,000, and it is now back within the<br />Craft, and available for initiates
to consult and view.<br />
<br />
D and C S. are probably completely anonymous, and if it were<br />not for the
fact that C initiated Robert Cochrane (briefly<br />mentioned earlier) they would
probably stay that way!<br />
Cochrane's origins are obscure, but I have been told that he<br />was initiated
into the Gardnerian tradition by C S, and met<br />Doreen Valiente through a
mutual acquaintance in 1964. When he<br />met Doreen, however, he claimed to be a
hereditary witch, from<br />a different tradition to Gardner's, and as Doreen
confirms,<br />was contemptuous of what he called "Gardnerian" witches.<br />Indeed,
Doreen believes he coined the term, "Gardnerian".<br />
Doreen said she was completely taken in by Cochrane and for a<br />while,
worked with him and the "Clan of Tubal-Cain" as he<br />described his tradition,
which was also known as "The Royal<br />Windsor Cuveen", or 1734.<br />
<br />
The figures "1734" have an interesting history. Doreen gives a<br />rather
strange account of them in The Rebirth Of Witchcraft,<br />which contradicts what
Cochrane himself describes in a letter<br />to Joe Wilson, dated "12th Night
1966", where he says,<br />
"...the order of 1734 is not a date of an event but a grouping<br />of numerals
that mean something to a witch.<br />
"One that becomes seven states of wisdom - the Goddess of the<br />Cauldron.
Three that are the Queens of the Elements - fire<br />belonging alone to Man, and
the Blacksmith God. Four that are<br />Queens of the Wind Gods.<br />
<br />
"The Jewish orthodoxy believe that whomever knows the Holy and<br />Unspeakable
name of God has absolute power over the world of<br />form. Very briefly, the name
of God spoken as Tetragrammaton<br />... breaks down in Hebrew to the letters
YHVH, or the Adam<br />Kadmon (The Heavenly Man). Adam Kadmon is a composite of
all<br />Archangels - in other words a poetic statement of the names of<br />the
Elements.<br />
<br />
"So what the Jew and the Witch believe alike, is that the man<br />who
discovers the secret of the Elements controls the physical<br />world. 1734 is the
witch way of saying YHVH." (Cochrane, 1966)<br />
Although Doreen says that Cochrane's group was small, it still<br />proved to
be remarkably influential. As well as Cochrane and<br />his wife (whom Doreen
refers to as "Jean") and Doreen herself,<br />there were others who are well-known
today, and a man called<br />Ronald White, who very much wanted to bring about a
new age in<br />England, with the return of King Arthur.<br />
In The Rebirth Of Witchcraft, Doreen elaborates upon the<br />circumstances
surrounding the death of Cochrane: the bald<br />facts are that he died at the
Summer Solstice of 1966 of an<br />overdose. Craft tradition believes that he
became in fact, and<br />of his own choice, the male ritual sacrifice which
is<br />sometimes symbolically enacted at the height of Summer.<br />
<br />
The Royal Windsor Cuveen disbanded after Cochrane died, only<br />to be re-born
from the ashes at Samhain that year under a new<br />name - The Regency. All of
its early members were from the<br />Royal Windsor Cuveen, and they were under the
leadership of<br />Ronald White. The Regency proved to be of great importance
to<br />the development of the Wicca, although its existence was kept<br />a fairly
close secret, and even today, there are relatively<br />few people who have ever
heard of it.<br />
<br />
Meetings were held in North London, at a place called Queens<br />Wood. As well
as Ron White and Doreen Valiente, members<br />included "John Math", founder of
the Witchcraft Research<br />Association in 1964, and editor of Pentagram
magazine, and the<br />founder of the Pagan Movement, Tony Kelly. At its
height,<br />there were frequently more than 40 in attendance at rites,<br />which
tended to be of the dramatic, pagan kind rather than the<br />ceremonial
associated with high ritual magic. The Regency<br />operated fairly consistently
for over twelve years, finally<br />disbanding in 1978. The Membership roll reads
like a who's who<br />of the British Wicca! Some of the rites have been
incorporated<br />into modern Wiccan rituals - in fact, one was used at the
Pan<br />European Wiccan Conference 1991 with very great success.<br />
Moving back over to Rae Bone's line, there are a number of<br />influential
people here, mainly through her initiates, Madge<br />and Arthur, who probably
take the award for the most prolific<br />pair in Wiccandom! Rae, although
initiated by Gardner, does of<br />course also claim a hereditary status in her
own right.<br />
<br />
Madge and Arthur's initiates include:<br />
John and Jean Score<br />
John Score was the partner of Michael Houghton (mentioned<br />earlier), and
the founder of the Pagan Federation, which is<br />very active today.<br />
Houghton died under very mysterious circumstances, which is<br />briefly
mentioned in "The Sword of Wisdom" by Ithell<br />Colquhoun. My Craft source told
me that this was actually a<br />ritual that went badly wrong, and Houghton ended
up on the<br />wrong end of some fairly potent energies.<br />
<br />
There is an interesting anecdote about Houghton in The Rebirth<br />Of
Withcraft, which is taken from "Nightside of Eden" by<br />Kenneth Grant, and
agrees in some respect to a similar story<br />that I was told some years ago.
Doreen suggests in The Rebirth<br />Of Witchcraft that the story may relate to a
magical working<br />involving Kenneth Grant and his wife, Gardner, Dolores
North<br />(Madeline Montalban), and an un-named witch, who was probably<br />Olive
Green.<br />
<br />
They were all to perform a ritual together, supposedly to<br />contact an
extra-terrestrial being. The material basis for the<br />rite, which took place in
1949, was a drawing by AO Spare.<br />
Apparently soon after the rite commenced, a nearby bookseller<br />(Michael
Houghton) turned up and interrupted proceedings. On<br />hearing that Kenneth
Grant was within, he declined to enter,<br />and wandered off. The rite was
disrupted, and the story goes<br />that everyone just went home.<br />
<br />
Kenneth Grant claims that as a result of disturbing their<br />working,
Houghton's marriage broke up, and that Houghton died<br />in mysterious
circumstances. In fact, the Houghton divorce was<br />a cause celebre, with her
suing him for cruelty because he<br />boasted of being a Sagittarian while
sneering at her because<br />she was only a dingy old Capricorn!<br />
<br />
The interrupted ritual could well have taken place. Madeline<br />had a flat
near to Atlantis (Houghton's shop), and would<br />certainly have known both Grant
and Houghton. I know for a<br />fact that Madeline was acquainted with Gerald,
although her<br />opinion of both him and the Wicca was rather poor. One
of<br />Madeline's older students told me that she thought Gardner<br />rather a
fraud, and ritually inept. She also had a very low<br />opinion of Wiccans, and
refused to allow her own students to<br />participate in Wiccan rites. The reason
for this lies in an<br />anecdote which Doreen doesn't relate: the story goes
that<br />Madeline agreed to participate in a rite with Gerald, which<br />turned
out to involve Madeline being tied up and tickled with<br />a feather duster! The
great lady was not amused.<br />
<br />
Prudence Jones<br />
Prudence was for many years the president of the Pagan<br />Federation, and
editor of its newsletter. She inherited her<br />role from John Score, after he
passed away. With Nigel<br />Pennick, Prudence also runs the Pagan Anti-Defamation
League<br />(PADL), and is an active astrologer and therapist. She has<br />edited a
book on astrology, and with Caitlin Matthews, edited<br />"Voices from the
Circle", published by Aquarian Press.<br />Although Prudence took her degree in
Philosophy, her main<br />interests lie in the areas of the Grail and troubadour
tales,<br />and she has published privately an excellent essay on the<br />Grail and
Wicca. She is also a very highly respected<br />astrologer, who lectures
extensively in Britain.<br />
<br />
Vivianne and Chris Crowley<br />
Vivianne Crowley, is author of "Wicca - The Old Religion in<br />the New Age",
and also secretary of the Pagan Federation. She<br />has a PhD in Psychology, and
is perhaps the only person to<br />have been a member of both a Gardnerian Coven
and an<br />Alexandrian one simultaneously!<br />
Vivianne is very active at the moment, and has initiated<br />people in Germany
(having memorised the ritual in German - a<br />language she doesn't speak!),
Norway, and - on the astral -<br />Brazil. As a result of her book, she receives
many letters<br />from people from all around the world, and organised the
first<br />ever pan-European Wiccan conference, held in Germany 1990.
The<br />second conference was held in Britain at the June solstice,<br />and the
third (1992) in Norway. In 1993, the Conference will<br />be in Scotland.<br />
<br />
John and Kathy (Caitlin) Matthews, are probably well-known to<br />everyone,
but possibly their Gardnerian initiations are not<br />such common knowledge. The
story that John Matthews relates in<br />"Voices from the Circle" is essentially
the one which he told<br />the HPS who initiated him.<br />
<br />
Pat and Arnold Crowther<br />
I have left Pat and Arnold till last, as it is from their line<br />that the
infamous Alex Sanders derives! It is no secret<br />anymore that Alex, far from
being initiated by his grandmother<br />when he was seven, was in fact turned down
by Pat Crowther in<br />1961, but was later accepted by one of her ex-coven
members,<br />Pat Kopanski, and initiated to 1st Degree.<br />
<br />
In "The Rebirth of Witchcraft" Doreen says that Alex later met<br />Gardner,
and was allowed to copy from the Book of Shadows;<br />Craft tradition is somewhat
different! It has always been said<br />(even by Alex's supporters!) that he
pinched what he could<br />from Pat Kopanski before being chucked out, and that
the main<br />differences between the Alexandrian and Gardnerian Books
of<br />Shadows occur where Alex mis-heard, or mis-copied something!<br />There are
certainly significant differences between the two<br />Books; some parts of
Gardnerian ritual are quite unknown<br />within the Alexandrian tradition, and the
ritual techniques<br />are often different. It is usually very easy to spot
whether<br />someone is an Alexandrian, or Gardnerian initiate.<br />
<br />
Alex needed a HPS, and as we know, chose Maxine Morris for the<br />role.
Maxine is a striking Priestess, and made a very good<br />visual focus for the
movement which grew in leaps and bounds.<br />
In the late 1960s, Alex and Maxine were prolific initiators,<br />and a number
of their initiates have become well known. Some<br />came to Australia, and there
are still a number of covens in<br />the UK today whose HP and/or HPS was
initiated by Alex or<br />Maxine.<br />
<br />
Alex and Maxine's most famous initiates are almost certainly<br />Janet and
Stewart Farrar, who left them in 1971 to form their<br />own coven, first in
England, then later, in Ireland. Through<br />their books, they have probably had
the most influence over<br />the direction that the modern Craft has taken.
Certainly in<br />Australia, the publication of "What Witches Do" was
an<br />absolute watershed, and with Janet and Stewart's consistent<br />output,
their form of Wicca is more likely to become the<br />"standard" than any other
type.<br />
<br />
Since their early days of undiluted Alexandrianism, they have<br />drifted
somewhat towards a more Gardnerian approach, and<br />today, tell everyone that
there are no differences between the<br />two traditions. In fact, despite the
merging that has been<br />occurring over the last few years, there are very
distinct<br />differences between the traditions; some merely external,<br />others
of a very significant difference of philosophy.<br />
<br />
Seldiy Bate was originally magically trained by Madeline<br />Montalban, and
then took an Alexandrian initiation from Maxine<br />and Alex. Her husband, Nigel,
was also initiated by Maxine,<br />and they have been "public" witches for a
number of years now,<br />often appearing on TV, radio and in the press.
Their<br />background in ritual magic is expressed in the type of coven<br />that
they run; a combination of Wicca and Ceremonial Magic.<br />
In 1971, Alex and Maxine went their separate ways. David<br />Goddard is a
Liberal Catholic Priest, and for many years, he<br />and Maxine worked in the
Liberal Catholic faith, and did not<br />run a coven of any kind. Then in 1984,
Maxine gathered<br />together a group again, and started practising a
combination<br />of Wicca, Qabalah and Liberal Catholicism. She and
David<br />separated in 1987, and since then her coven has been<br />exclusively
Wiccan. In 1989, she married one of her initiates,<br />Vincent, and they are
still running an active coven in London<br />today.<br />
<br />
Alex's history after the split was a little more sordid, with<br />one girl he
married, Jill, filling the gutter press with<br />stories about Alex being
homosexual, and defrauding her of all<br />her money to spend on his boyfriends.
Sally Taylor was<br />initiated by Maxine and David, but then transferred to
Alex.<br />She was trained by him, and then started her own group.<br />
I'd now like to focus upon the last of the strands which I<br />believe has
been influential upon the birth and development of<br />Wicca; that of the
literary traditions and sources to which<br />Gardner would have had access. To a
certain extent these are<br />contiguous with the magical traditions described
earlier, as<br />nowhere is it ever suggested that Gardner did in fact
ever<br />work in a magical Lodge, so we must assume that his knowledge<br />came
from the written form of the rites, not from the actual<br />practise of them.<br />
<br />
From reading Gardner's books, it is quite apparent that<br />Margaret Murray
had a tremendous impact upon him. Her book,<br />"The God of the Witches" was
published in 1933, and twelve<br />years previously, "The Witch Cult in Western
Europe" had<br />appeared. "The God of the Witches" has been
tremendously<br />influential on a number of people, and certainly
inspired<br />Gardner.<br />
<br />
In fact, "Witchcraft Today", published by Gardner in 1954<br />contained a
foreword by Margaret Murray. At this time,<br />remember, Murray's work was still
taken seriously, and she<br />remained the contributor on the subject of
witchcraft for the<br />Encyclopedia Britannica for a number of years.<br />
Now of course her work has been largely discredited, although<br />she remains
a source of inspiration, if not historical<br />accuracy. In Gardner's day, the
idea of a continuing worship<br />of the old pagan gods would have been a
staggering theory, and<br />in the second article in my series about Murray
(published in<br />The Cauldron), I made the point that Murray may have had
to<br />pretend scientific veracity in order to get her work published<br />in such
times. Don't forget that Dion Fortune had to publish<br />her work privately, as
did Gardner with High Magic's Aid.<br />Carlo Ginzburg's excellent book,
"Ecstasies", also supports<br />Murray's basic premise; although of course he
regrets her<br />historical deceptions.<br />
<br />
There were of course other sources than Murray. In 1899,<br />"Aradia: Gospel
of the Witches" was published. Most of<br />Crowley's work was available during
the pre- and post-war<br />years, as were the texts written and translated by
MacGregor<br />Mathers and Waite. Also readily available were works such as<br />The
Magus, and of course the classics, from which Gardner drew<br />much
inspiration.<br />
<br />
Of paramount importance would have been "The White Goddess",<br />by Robert
Graves, which is still a standard reference book on<br />any British Wiccan's
bookshelf. This was published in 1952;<br />three years after High Magic's Aid
appeared, and two years<br />before Gardner's first non-fictional book about
witchcraft. I<br />would just like to say at this point that Graves has
taken<br />some very unfair criticism in respect of this book. The
White<br />Goddess was written as a work of poetry, not history, and
to<br />criticise it for being historically innaccurate is to miss the<br />point.
Unfortunately, I agree that some writers have referred<br />to it as an
"authority", and thus led their readers up the<br />garden path. This is not
Graves's fault, nor do I believe it<br />was his intention.<br />
<br />
Another book which has had a profound influence on many<br />Wiccans, and would
undoubtedly have been well known by Gardner<br />is "The Golden Bough"; although
the entire book was written<br />based upon purely secondary research, it is an
extensive<br />examination of many pagan practices from the Ancient World,<br />and
the emphasis of the male sacrifice could certainly have<br />been taken from here
equally as well as from Murray. Certain<br />of the Gardnerian ritual practices
were almost certainly<br />derived from The Golden Bough, or from Frazer's own
sources.<br />
In "Witchcraft Today" Gardner mentions a number of authors<br />when
speculating where the Wiccan rites came from. He says<br />that, "The only man I
can think of who could have invented the<br />rites was the late Aleister
Crowley."<br />
<br />
He continues to say, "The only other man I can think of who<br />could have
done it is Kipling...". He also mentions that,<br />"Hargrave Jennings might have
had a hand in them..." and then<br />suggests that "Barrat (sic) of The Magus,
circa 1800, would<br />have had the ability to invent or resurrect the cult."<br />
It's possible that these references are something of a damage<br />control
operation by Gardner, who, according to Doreen, was<br />not too impressed when
she kept telling him that she<br />recognised certain passages in the Witch rites!
"Witchcraft<br />Today" was published the year after Doreen's initiation,
and<br />perhaps by seeming genuinely interested in where the Rites<br />came from,
Gardner thought he might give the appearance of<br />innocence of their
construction!<br />
<br />
As mentioned previously, Gardner also had a large collection<br />of
unpublished MSS, which he used extensively, and one has<br />only to read his
books to realise that he was a very well-read<br />man, with wide-ranging
interests. Exactly the sort of man who<br />would be able to draw together a set
of rituals if required.<br />
The extensive bibliography to "The Meaning of Witchcraft"<br />published in
1959, demonstrates this rather well. Gardner<br />includes Magick in Theory and
Practice and The Equinox of the<br />Gods by Crowley; The Mystical Qabalah by Dion
Fortune; The<br />Goetia; The White Goddess (Graves); Lady Charlotte
Guest's<br />translation of The Mabinogion; English Folklore by Christina<br />Hole;
The Kabbalah Unveiled and the Abramelin by Mathers; both<br />Margaret Murray's
books and Godfrey Leland's Gypsy Sorcery, as<br />well as a myriad of classic
texts, from Plato to Bede!<br />
Although this bibliography postdates the creation of<br />Gardnerian Wicca, it
certainly indicates from where Gardner<br />draws his inspiration from. There are
also several books<br />listed which are either directly, or indirectly,
concerned<br />with sex magic, Priapic Cults, or Tantra.<br />
Hargrave Jenning, mentioned earlier, wrote a book called
"The<br />Rosicrucians, their Rites and Mysteries", which Francis
King<br />describes as a book, "concerned almost exclusively with<br />phallicism
and phallic images - Jennings saw the penis<br />everywhere."<br />
<br />
As I mentioned earlier, Hargrave Jennings, a member of the<br />SRIA, also
belonged to a group, described as a coven, which<br />met in the Cambridge area in
the 1870s, and performed rituals<br />based upon the classical traditions -
specifically, from The<br />Golden Ass. There is no evidence to support this,
except that<br />there are often found references to a "Cambridge Coven"
linked<br />to Jennings' name.<br />
<br />Many of the rituals we are familiar with today
were of course<br />later additions by Doreen Valiente, and these have been
well<br />documented by both her and the Farrars, in a number of books.<br />Doreen
admits that she deliberately cut much of the poetry by<br />Aleister Crowley, and
substituted either her own work, or<br />poems from other sources, such as the
Carmina Gadelica.<br />
Of course we can never really know the truth about the origins<br />of the
Wicca. Gardner may have been an utter fraud; he may<br />have actually received a
"Traditional" initiation; or, as a<br />number of people have suggested, he may
have created the Wicca<br />as a result of a genuine religious experience, drawing
upon<br />his extensive literary and magical knowledge to create, or<br />help
create, the rites and philosophy.<br />
<br />
What I think we can be fairly certain about is that he was<br />sincere in his
belief. If there had been no more to the whole<br />thing than an old man's
fantasy, then the Wicca would not have<br />grown to be the force that it is
today, and we would not all<br />be sitting here in Canberra on a Saturday
morning!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03697344999849245781noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364355146879034329.post-21842727440676001732015-01-26T08:16:00.004+00:002015-01-26T08:16:44.315+00:00Passing on Knowledge Teachers<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Teachers, Good and Bad… The Many Ways to Pass Along the Knowledge
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />There are all kinds of people out there today who may call themselves
“teachers”<br />or “experts” in Witchcraft and Wicca. Some advertise in New Age
shops and<br />publications or over the Internet. Some are well known local
personalities who<br />offer regular lectures, workshops or Wicca 101 classes. You
may hear of a<br />teacher through networking with other Pagans in your area. How
can you know that<br />these people are who they say they are? Or more importantly
to you perhaps, how<br />can you know that a teacher will be the right one for
you? </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are many Paths and many different approaches to passing on the Craft.
A<br />little prior research into the various systems or Traditions in advance
is<br />almost a necessity before making the decision to take training in a
particular<br />system. We encourage everyone to do as much reading on the
subjects as possible.<br />See what interests you and then try to find a teacher
that will help you further<br />develop in these areas of interest. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are some definitive things that you can do to help insure that you
enjoy a<br />positive experience BEFORE you spend a lot of time or money in
classes or other<br />training. We have provided a listing below that we have
developed from personal<br />experiences, the experiences of others and various
reference materials that may<br />help to know what you should be looking for and
how to ask the questions that<br />may help you decide if this is the teacher for
you. Some teachers may not<br />exhibit all of the signs listed, but most teachers
will fall predominantly into<br />one category or another. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A GOOD TEACHER… generally:
</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Has a sense of humour… Humans do silly things sometimes, and a sense of
humour<br />can help keep things in perspective. A good teacher will help you
laugh at<br />yourself (and them!) but will not hold you up to ridicule. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Has respect for all living things… One needn’t be a vegetarian to care
about<br />the lives and welfare of animals. Environmental concerns are also
important as<br />Neo-Paganism is a “nature or earth-based” religious Path. Abuse
of any living<br />thing is pretty much a “no-no”. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Has a healthy self image… A teacher who realizes that he or she can
learn<br />just as much from a novice as the novice may learn from the teacher is
probably<br />comfortable in what they know, yet open to new ideas and concepts.
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Is kind and compassionate… This doesn’t mean that you will not be
challenged<br />or have to work hard, but it does mean that your honest efforts
will be met with<br />encouragement and gentle guidance. A good teacher will not
“look down his or her<br />nose” at your sincere attempts; they realize that
experience is necessary to<br />gaining knowledge. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Tells the truth and is direct… This means that you will not be led
astray<br />either by one who is afraid to confront you when you are heading in a
wrong<br />direction or by one who seeks to manipulate you for unspoken ends. They
call a<br />spade a spade and want you to do the same. They ‘walk their talk” and
do not<br />have a separate code of conduct for themselves while expecting you to
follow<br />another. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Is able to teach by example… The good teacher will often tell stories of
the<br />time that they really ‘screwed up”. They also can tell you about their
successes<br />and failures and do so – neither making excuses or being overly
melodramatic<br />about their experiences. They can offer practical examples and
show applications<br />of such examples clearly. They are not “mysterious” so much
as they demonstrate<br />the “mysteries” in simple ways to help you understand
them. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Has a global point of view… Local “gurus’ may only be interested in making
a<br />name or creating a following for themselves. A good teacher will encourage
their<br />students to reach beyond the local area and embrace the rest of the
world<br />community. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Is inclusive rather than exclusive in attitude… Anyone who promotes an
“us<br />vs. them” is dangerously close to becoming a cult leader. There are real
forces<br />out there to contend with, but a teacher who finds an enemy around
every corner<br />should be avoided. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Allows for mistakes and admits that he/she is not perfect… “We are all
in<br />this together” is a good statement to hear from a teacher that you
are<br />considering working with. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Is flexible, yet honors commitments… Too rigid a set of rules
and<br />regulations stifles energy flow and the learning experience. Too random
a<br />training program may also interfere in the discipline required for growth.
A<br />balance between the two is best. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Encourages you to do your own research and ask questions… A good
teacher<br />wants you to discover and explore new ideas. A good book list should
be included<br />in any training program. You should be able to disagree with a
teacher without<br />being censored or reprimanded. (A well thought out concept
should be “thought<br />provoking” however and not just “provoking”.). </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Gives credit where credit is due… A teacher who is using references
or<br />techniques from other sources should plainly state this fact. The use of
other<br />people’s work without credit is theft, plain and simple. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Listens more than talks… A good teacher is genuinely interested in
your<br />thoughts, feelings and opinions. Feedback is one way that a teacher can
tell how<br />you are absorbing and integrating the materials and lessons. Someone
who talks<br />all the time about his/her experiences is more interested in
impressing you with<br />their personal knowledge than helping you to acquire
knowledge of your own. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Wants you to mature and move on… A good teacher wants his or her students
to<br />surpass them. That is the greatest compliment that a teacher can receive.
Just<br />as a good parent wants to send mature and well balanced children out
into the<br />world, so does a good spiritual teacher want their “children” to
grow up and<br />leave home. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">ON THE OTHER HAND… You Should AVOID a teacher who:
</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Possesses a superior attitude… If a teacher states or implies that they
are<br />the sole holder of some sort of “special” or “secret” knowledge disclosed
only<br />to a “chosen few”, you really don’t want to know what that may
be…really.
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Excludes members of any race or culture… Bigotry of any kind has no place
in<br />spiritual circles. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Is attacking or violent… Obviously. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Is either overly sensitive or too insensitive… Someone who either
sees<br />slights and attacks where there are none or ignores actual tangible
problems may<br />not be in touch with “reality”. Best to leave them to their own
little fantasy<br />world.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Is ingratiating… Someone who is overly friendly and shares intimate
details<br />of their personal life with you almost immediately may be looking to
“win you<br />over.” This is a real danger sign that is often overlooked. By
“baring their<br />soul”, they encourage you to do the same in return. This
“instant intimacy” can<br />leave you vulnerable to manipulation and abuse. Go
slowly when meeting someone<br />new.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Is controlling… No teacher should expect you to abandon your family
and<br />friends. Isolation from the rest of society is a classic cult activity.
You<br />should not be expected to run errands or perform tasks. Sometimes you and
the<br />teacher will work out a “fair exchange of energy” in return for training.
Make<br />sure it IS fair. If you feel like you are being taken advantage of, you
probably<br />are. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Is continually cancelling classes… This is a classic indication that
they<br />simply have your money and no longer care about fulfilling the deal. If
they are<br />postponing classes until several months from now, you may have a
real problem on<br />your hands. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Belittles you or uses you as an “example”… You deserve to be treated
with<br />respect even if you are a novice. No teacher has the right to strip you
of your<br />self-esteem. You should not be bullied into doing something that
makes you<br />uncomfortable or that you do not understand. On the other hand,
being held up to<br />others as the “teacher’s pet” is also incorrect and this
teacher may be setting<br />you up for something that you may not want to become
involved in. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Has few or no “elders” in their group… “Where are the people who have
been<br />trained before me?” is a good question to ask. Perhaps they DID mature
and move<br />on… or perhaps they just ran screaming from the room!!…It pays to
check.<br />Talk to anyone you can find who has trained with this teacher before. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Wants a lot of money up front… You should be able to get a class schedule
or<br />other outline of what the training will consist of BEFORE you sign up.
Look it<br />over carefully and ask questions. If the information seems to be no
more than<br />what you can get free from books or by talking with other Witches,
it may not be<br />a good value. Degrees and titles are earned; they are not
bought…or sold. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Has assistants; cohorts or senior students who you are expected to
obey…<br />Some groups do have a system of ‘elders” who deserve respect. However,
you are<br />not obligated to accept anyone simply based on his or her “rank”
within a group.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />If the teacher has an “entourage” which follows them
everywhere and seems to<br />“cater” to this teacher’s every whim, watch
carefully. You may end up being the<br />next “groupie.” </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Is overly idealistic and impractical… If this teacher has marvelous
plans<br />for the world -and especially if they tell YOU that you will be a part
of this<br />grand scheme -but he/she cannot balance their check book, take care
of their<br />children or hold onto a job, you want to leave now. You may end up
not only<br />shoring up these “dream castles”; you may end up supporting this
person<br />financially and emotionally. Witchcraft is a Path of personal
responsibility and<br />a teacher should be able to manifest this in his or her
own lives. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Exhibits any of these characteristics… lying, sexual misconduct,
theft,<br />physical violence or abuse.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Tumble stones Meanings and Information</b></span> </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Tumbled
stones have fascinated me for many years and it took a long time to
learn about all the different tumble stones and how they can help you in
everyday life, I have many many tumble stones all around my home along
with other crystals and I love them all. I use them daily for many
different reasons so I have a very large collection! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Those
of you who have followed me and read thru my blog in the past will have
noticed a change here, beforehand I had pictures of all known tumble
stones that I had taken from various places around the web and of
course some of them were my own these were purely to help you identify
the different stones there colours and markings etc. But sadly and no
names mentioned here of course! A certain website wasn't happy in
helping anyone learn about the stones and made me remove any pictures I
may have used from that particular site ~ other sites where more then
happy for me to use their pictures but not that particular one! So I
have decided to change things a little ~ never mind these things come
to try us!! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I
am not into making money to help people I offer information for free to
help you learn about crystals and tumble stones and also about the
Wicca/pagan way of life. I hope you find the information useful as you
learn about tumble stones and crystals. As always I am only an email
away and if you would like to comment on the blog them please do I
always welcome comments and if you have any other information then
please add. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Over
the next few weeks I will be adding more and more to this section but

Chalcedony is called Agate and No two agates are a like, to officially
be called an agate they must have banding. There are many different
names for agates too many to list here so I have used the most common
ones. Also to help with learning your tumble stones I have listed which
family they come under, the colours the tumble stone is available in,
where in the world they may come from, and if known the gemstone
associated with a state in the US, if the stone is common or rare, also
if you can cleanse your stone in water without harming your crystal or
stone and if your tumble stone maybe dyed and various other
information which I hope will be of use to you ~ see below for an
example this particular set is for Agate </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Agate
and jasper's can be confusing to all of us! Is it jasper or is it an
agate? When you have a stone with stripes, especially if they are
transparent it is pretty safe to say it is Agate. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If you have an ‘Agate’ that lacks stripes or any sort of transparency it is most likely a Jasper. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Most rocks sold today are actually Jasper's. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Agates are easy to dye but Jasper's are not. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Agate has been around for more then 15,000 years </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">To
help identify between agate and jasper All agate is a micro crystalline
variety of silica (silicon dioxide). If the silica forms without bands
of alternating colour it is referred to as chalcedony (transparent to
semi-transparent) or jasper (opaque). If, however, the silica forms
with distinct parallel bands it is referred to as agate. Agate forms as
nodules or veins in host rock formations, the surrounding rock
chemistry being responsible for the many hues that are imparted into
the agate. Silica is a widespread mineral belonging to the quartz
family (itself one of the largest rock families) and takes on a great
number of appearances and this is reflected in the wide variety of
agates available. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Agate
is the oldest stone in history. In ancient times Agate was highly
valued as a talisman or amulet Agates occur in nodular masses in rock
such as volcanic lavas. It is believed to prevent insomnia and ensure
pleasant dreams, to enhance personal courage and protect against
danger. Agate provides a calming influence, improves perception,
concentration. Agates attract strength and protects from bad dreams. It
also protects from stress and energy drains. </span></div>

Agate brings you the confidence and peace of mind that comes from
comfort and comfort comes when we feel connected with everything and
grounded in who we are. Holding these stones brings instant calm and in
this state our perception is heightened. With a sense of well being,
understanding and acceptance we can let go of our need to be and settle
into who we really are, without the pretense.</span></div>

addition to the properties of Agate, banded Agate heals any deep inner
anger and is helpful for emotional trauma of any kind. It stabilizes
the aura and removes any unwanted negative energies surrounding you.
For protection, restores bodily energy and eases stressful situations.
Wearing a banded agate is like taking extra Vitamin B. It is
recommended if you are someone who needs extra courage or extra energy
to face your stresses. For you who are drained by upsetting energies in
your environment, it is an excellent stone.</span></div>

on my gemstone/tumble stone adventure I was very surprised at all the
different names associated with tumble stones it became apparent to me
over time how many tumble stones there were that had a different name
for the same stone! So to help you learn your tumble stones a lot easier
then I did I have decided to list all the most common tumble stones
along with their real name and their trade/false name.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">This
is not a complete list by any means as it would be impossible to do
that but I have included as many tumble stones as possible.</span><br />

Breathe deeply and
slowly, deeply and slowly, let your breathing slow down and let your mind become
calm and relaxed. Let all the worries and cares just drain away and leave you
calm and collected, calm and peaceful, and as they drain away, let yourself
become more and more relaxed, and more and more calm. And as you become more
relaxed let your breathing slow and deepen, slow and deepen, slow and deepen,
and as your breathing deepens, let your mind relax.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Feel the ground beneath you, and feel as if you are slowly sinking down until
you are cradled in a small shallow hollow in the ground. Let yourself relax and
know that nothing will disturb you. Relax and breathe deeper. Breathe slower and
deeper and relax more and more. Feel the ground beneath you and around you.
Protecting you, holding you. Let anything that disturbs you drain away into the
soil, and let new energy flow into you from the ground just as if you were a
plant. Let the energy flow in as you breathe in, and let the tension, and
irritations of the day seep away as you breathe out. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In and out, feel your breath, and pay attention to it. Feel it slow down more
and more and you continue breathing. Hear the breath of your neighbor and let
your breathing and their breathing slow until you breath in when they breathe
in, and breathe out when you breathe out. Let yourself float, and just breathe,
hearing nothing but my voice and my breathing. And as you breathe continue to
feel the tension and irritations and any pain or negative feelings you have
drain away, seeping deep down into the earth to be renewed and cleansed, and as
you breath in, feel yourself refreshed, and breath in the clean energy that the
earth provides. In and out, slowing your breathing down more and more, the more
and more relaxed you become, and as you become more and more relaxed, the slower
you will breath. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now, continue breathing, and slowly tune out all sounds, but the sounds of my
voice. Don't actively try to make them go away, just hear them and let them fade
away of their own accord. And as each sound is recognized and fades away let the
act of it fading take you a step further into relaxation. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And as you relax, just let yourself float, feel the ground below you grow as
soft as a comfortable quilt, a thick comfortable quilt insulating you from the
hard ground below you and making it feel as if you are floating. Float on the
quilt, and let yourself relax into it. Relax deeper and deeper, and the more you
relax, the thicker the quilt will become, making it just that much easier to
sink deep into the relaxation. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now as you relax, feel yourself begin to slowly, very slowly, move downward,
and as you move downward, ever so slowly, what you perceive begins to change.
You feel yourself moving downward through the quilt and leaving it behind you,
and as you move downward, even though your eyes are closed, you can still see.
And as you watch, you see a variety of scenes play themselves out before you,
around you bringing you into them, and relaxing you.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And you are standing in a wide open field. The grass around you is a mixture
of brown and green, and all around you you hear the chirping of insects, and see
a bee buzzing over newly opened flowers. The flowers in the field are just
opening their buds to the beautiful spring sunshine, and you bask in the beauty,
and sink down through the green carpet of grass beneath you, relaxing as you
sink lower and lower, being more and more relaxed. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And you see a summer day, a golden beach touching a deep blue sea. You hear
the waves, and see people relaxing on the beach. The sky above you is cloudless,
and the sun shines down, warming you. In the distance, you hear seagulls, and
see them swooping down over the sea. And you sink deeper, and sink down through
the sand, and relax even deeper, the sand warming you and relaxing you as you
move through it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And you are looking out over a lawn in the middle of autumn, the leaves are
beautiful in their red and gold and orange splendor. The wind plays lightly
through the trees and over your hair. You smell the smoke of a small fire where
the children are laughing as they burn the dead leaves. You are lying in a small
pile of newly fallen leaves, and the warmth of the fire relaxes you and you sink
even deeper and become more and more relaxed, and sink into the leaves, leaving
the warmth of the fire behind. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And you are sitting by a fireplace, nice and warm, looking out over a lawn
covered in a deep carpet of glistening white snow. No footprints mar the beauty
where you are looking, but off to one side, you see children building a snowman,
and playing happily in the snow. You smell the smells of winter from the
evergreen and holly that decorate the room around you, and you relax deeper and
deeper in the warmth of the fire, and slowly, very slowly you sink deeper and
deeper through the floor. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">More and more relaxed, deeper and deeper, you feel yourself going down deep
inside yourself, folding within, finding the center and heart deep within
yourself, and you slowly come to rest in that sacred area inside yourself. The
place where you are safe and warm, and can always go to find out whatever you
need to know. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Take a moment and look around, seeing all the things that are here, and
realizing that this is a place that is quintessentially yourself. It is your
sacred place, and will always be within you for you to find when you need. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now, find a path out of this place, and follow it to it's end. Along this
path you might find side paths, and you can take them if you want. You might
meet people or creatures, and they might talk with you. Converse with them as
long as you want, or have them walk beside you as you continue down the path.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">(long pause) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After a while, as you walk, you see a small clearing open up in front of you.
And in the clearing will be two people who each have something to say to you.
Listen to what they have to say, and ask them anything else that you feel is of
importance to yourself and your life. Take as long as you want to speak with
these two, and know that their advice will be helpful to you. They may be other
aspects of yourself, they might be spiritual guides, they might be aspects of
the God or the Goddess. Whomever they are, know that they cannot harm you here
in your sacred area, and that only good can come of listening with your heart.
Know that you will remember what they tell you and that you will be free to act
on it as you choose.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">(very long pause) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now it is time to return, to bid farewell to your friends here, and to return
to your friends in the other world. Know that you can return here any time you
want just by willing yourself to. Finish up your talk with the two beings you
met, and slowly feel yourself rising up, up into the sky. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Let yourself rise slowly, and see the area below you dwindling and fading
until you find yourself once more in front of the fire looking out over the
beauty of winter. Take a moment and capture a bit of that beauty within
yourself, and remember it as you slowly, slowly continue rising, and the scene
fades.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Very slowly, the scene fades and is replaced with the autumn trees. Once
again, capture a small piece of the scene within your heart, and let yourself
rise slowly, very very slowly up, through the trees.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And as you rise, the autumn fades away and is replaced with the gorgeous
summer beach, with the golden sand and the crystal blue ocean and the deep
cloudless sky. Put a piece of this into your heart as well, and let yourself
rise up slowly, very slowly. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Back into the spring field, with the bees buzzing over the newly budding
flowers. Capture a small part of this in your memory, and let yourself rise
slowly, very very slowly, back onto the quilt. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hear yourself breathing, and feel the connection you have to the earth and to
the seasons. And know that what affects them affects you, and that what affects
you affects them.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And let your breathing slowly come back to normal, and the awareness of other
sounds begin to be felt again, and let yourself slowly open your eyes and
become fully, completely awake, but still completely relaxed, and know that you
have been cleansed and renewed even as winter cleanses and renews the earth for
the coming spring.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You can stop a dog from barking and howling by turning one of your shoes
upside down.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The health of children is said to improve if you allow them to play with
dogs. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you see a dog rolling in the grass, you should expect good luck or news
from afar is coming. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It is good luck to allow strange dogs to follow you home. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A person who owns three cats, each a different color, is said to carry great
luck. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A three-colored cat is said to prevent fires. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Owning a white cat brings the owner poverty. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If a spotted cat wanders into your home, it is said to be a sign of good
fortune coming your way. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you are ever followed by a black cat, you will be lucky. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It is said that if you give a cat to a friend, that will break off the
friendship. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you see a cat put its paw over its head, it means company is coming. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When the pupils of a cat's eyes are nearly closed, it shows that it is low
tide. Widely opened pupils means high tide. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The time of day may be noted by observing the relative size of a cat's
pupils. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A cat scratching on the front door (from the outside) means company is
coming. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Letting a cat look at you soon after washing its face will almost certainly
indicate your pending marriage in the near future! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Be sure to make a wish when you see a newborn calf; it's likely to come true. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Goats always seem to seek shelter before bad weather, so watch them. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When buying a horse, remember this country saying:
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One white foot, buy him;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Two white feet, try him;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Three white feet, try another day;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Four white feet, give him away.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Saying "white horse" seven times will help
you find a lost article. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Never give a pig away. You'll be giving away your luck! (In Germany they say
"Du hast Schwein" when you seem to have good luck.) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If when starting a journey, you see a rabbit cross your path, it will be a
safe journey.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If a squirrel runs across the road in front of you, it means good luck and
wealth are soon to be yours. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Buzzards are a long time in between wing beats. So if you see a lone buzzard,
make a wish before he flaps his wings and your wish will come true. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Seeing the shadow of a buzzard on the ground without seeing the buzzard means
company is coming. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To stop an owl from making its night calls, tie a knot in a blue handkerchief </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A rooster crowing late at night means a storm is coming. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A rooster crowing in front of your door means news from a distance is coming. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A rooster crowing in the early part of the night means there is news coming
fast. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To keep evil away from your house, throw the egg of a white hen over your
right shoulder toward the front door of the house. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When you see a crow for the first time in a new year, observe its flight --
that will indicate the distance you will travel that year. If the crow just sits
there, it means no journey; if it flies out of sight, it means you'll take a
very long journey. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here is an ancient folk rhyme about crows and what their flock size
indicates:
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One crow, sorrow,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Two crows, mirth,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Three crows, a wedding,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Four crows, birth.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was believed that, not long ago, crows could talk. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Make a wish when you hear the first call of a dove on the Spring Equinox and
the wish will come true. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What you are doing when you hear the first whippoorwill, you will do all the
year long. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It is good luck to have a wren build a nest near your home (preferably in
your yard). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It is good luck to have a wild bird come into your house. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When a mockingbird flies over the house of someone single, that person will
be married within the year. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If a dark bird sits on your windowsill, you should expect luck. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You will receive a letter from a loved one if you see a red bird cross a road
you are traveling. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In some parts of the United States, it was believed that moles were
incarnations of old people who had passed on. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Black hellbore herb is used in the blessing of domestic animals. Mix the herb
into water at dawn, strain, and bless the animals by sprinkling them. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Red clover holds energy thought to be benevolent to animals. Utilize this
herb in the healing of domestic animals. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Whatever occupation one has when he hears the frogs croak for the first time
in the spring, will be one's occupation for the entire year. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here is a saying about seeing spiders that foretells your immediate future: </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you see a black one, it means sad news;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you see a brown one, it means glad news;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you see a white one, it means good luck in all views.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Make a wish when
you see a spider spinning a web and the wish will come true.
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you see a brown spider crawling around on any clothes in your closet,
don't brush it away! The spider means you will be getting new clothes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A bee flying into the house means a stranger is coming. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you say "mumbly up" repeatedly over an anthill, the ants will come up out
of the hole. Saying "mumbly down" makes the ants go back down. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Never talk to snakes: snakes are thought to be deaf.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It is lucky to have a snake live in, near, or under your house.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03697344999849245781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364355146879034329.post-49770289871291971482014-05-16T19:46:00.003+01:002014-05-16T19:46:24.439+01:00Herbal Lore<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Roots and Herbs<br /></span><br />

let you find lost items. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03697344999849245781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364355146879034329.post-26840540778513474202014-04-03T17:29:00.002+01:002014-04-03T17:29:41.513+01:00Astral Plane and other worlds of spirit<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The spirit realms are generally described as dimensions or planes
distinguishable by the different densities and vibratory rates (or frequencies)
of the substances they contain, and the various dimensions are said to
interpenetrate, existing in the same space. Different people have divided these
infinite realms into different numbers of vibratory regions (often seven, nine
or twelve), and various names have been used by different people to
differentiate among these regions. For most of us living in the physical world
and preoccupied by its material comforts, those are heady concepts. So it may be
easier to visualize the spiritual planes aligned concentrically. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The physical plane ( the world around us, our conscious reality) is composed
of comparatively dense, slowly vibrating matter. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The astral planes are generally divided into the lower, middle, and higher,
although each division actually contains many, many divisions of varying
vibratory rates. After we have shed our physical body, most of us reportedly
"wake up" in our astral body living in the specific astral plane in which
substance is vibrating at the same rate as the substance of our astral body.
This is sometimes called our home frequency. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">During our lives on Earth and beyond we determine our vibratory rate by out
thoughts, attitudes and spiritual understanding. Fear and resentment produce low
vibrations, while love produces very high vibrations, while orthodox closed -
mindedness (whether religious, scientific or political) produces low vibrations.
Attachments to worldly things creates low vibrations, while calm detachment in
the Eastern tradition produces high vibrations. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The lower astral planes are described as a dark, dismal world reminiscent of
the Christian purgatory or hell. Some people of low vibration thoughts and
attitudes, after dying, are pulled toward and trapped near the physical plane in
a state of confusion. There being no gravity nor sense of time nor space in the
worlds of spirit, they might reside here for years or for centuries of Earth
time, not even aware that they have died, yet totally bewildered, creating
problems of Earth in many ways. Some 20-30 percent of people go here when they
die. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The middle astral planes are a pleasant realm where 60-70 percent of us wake
up to be rehabilitated after our earthly education in "school of head knocks." </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The higher astral planes are a wonderful realm called Heaven by Christians,
the Summerland by spiritualists. About ten percent if us will wind up here after
we die. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The mental causal planes are a realm of divine inspiration free of earthly
desires and conflict. The beings in these dissensions cause many of the artistic
and technical breakthroughs on Earth by sending silent messages to its
inhabitants.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The celestial planes, beyond the comprehension of most people, are said to be
the home of the Christian God, the Buddha, and other great beings.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="TOC-The-Mid-Astral-Planes"></a>The Mid-Astral Planes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We'll focus
now on the mid-Astral planes because that is where the most of us will go after
we die and because it is from that region that all ITC
images and messages are sent to Earth. This pleasant realm is a buffer zone
between Heaven and Earth, a place for worn-out souls fresh out of the school of
hard knocks here on Earth to rest and recuperate before moving on toward higher
spiritual realities. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The astral planes are much like Earth, though more mental, less physical. In
the spirit worlds thoughts create reality, so as thousands of people leave Earth
and enter the astral planes, the worlds in those subtler planes take on an
Earth-like appearance. Researchers in many countries report messages from "the
other side" describing concert halls, museums, hospitals, schools and homes much
like those on Earth -- but often much more magnificent -- all set in landscapes
of trees, flowers, mountains, meadows and rivers that. again, are like the
landscapes here but much more lovely and breathtaking.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">While the ultimate destiny of every soul lies in the "higher" or subtler
planes in and beyond the celestial frequencies, a typical lifetime on Earth as a
non-spiritual or moderately spiritual person drags our soul down to low
frequencies. After we die, our Earth soul would feel as out of place in the
higher realms as the proverbial bull in a china shop. The astral planes provide
a buffer zone between a dense Earth plane rife with deception, fear and
violence, and the higher, subtle realms of pure love, Light and wisdom. The
astral planes provide very pleasant surroundings for resting up before moving
on. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Not everyone moves on right away, however. Some departed souls like the
astral planes so well that they choose to stay for centuries. Others reportedly
return to Earth for one reason or another to experience another lifetime in a
new body. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It has long been known that a new arrival in the spirit worlds, after a life
on Earth with a typical western spiritual education, is initially lost and
bewildered by the almost unimaginable series of new and strange experiences.
Often there is an overriding sadness regarding the loved ones left behind such
grief is completely natural -- on both sides of the veil -- but the new arrival
must get on with the business of starting a new life. Excessive and prolonged
grief by family members presents a tie that tends to hinder the new arrival from
concentrating on the job of starting a whole new life. It literally pulls the
spirit of the newly deceased into low frequencies near the Earth and holds it
there.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Life can be quite varied, depending on where in the spirit worlds one winds
up. Here are a few scenarios by those who have made the transition and reported
back through ITC
equipment in Luxembourg: </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here in the mid-Astral planes there are a great variety of people-in-spirit.
Some still sit around the campfire as they used to do in their (primitive) earth
life. Others meet in modern halls of congress surrounded by technical equipment.
They give lectures about life after physical death. Still others do not even
know that they have died. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Some residents have been living for over a century. Some live in castles,
fortresses or beautiful mansions, others in tents or teepees - whatever makes
them comfortable.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">New arrivals have the opportunity to get to know people-in-spirit of all ages
of human history and to meet unfamiliar, intelligent beings of non earthly
origin. How readily a newcomer can accept the many new and unusual things, is
one factor, determining how quickly he or she may move on to the subtler
dimensions. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There is no real need to eat, as we breathe in our nourishment. The astral
body absorbs everything it needs for its health and well-being from its
surroundings. There is no need for sex, of course, as there is no pregnancy in
spirit. Still, sex as well as eating can be enjoyed in the astral planes by
those who made it a major part of their lives while on Earth. Eventually there
will be more important things to do.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Astral worlds are typically clean, pure and well organized. All planets are
inhabited and have ample lakes, rivers, and oceans. There are no pests or
predators. Climate is always spring like with occasional precipitation in the
form of glowing snowflakes or multicolored, shiny raindrops.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Worlds in the middle astral planes are shared by new arrivals from Earth,
goblins, animals, fish, nature spirits, giants and spirit beings. The
environment glistens. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">New arrivals are usually drawn to an astral family of people with whom they
are compatible spiritually - and mentally. Adults can materialize babies using
their willpower to bring shape to condensed living forms provided by higher
beings for that purpose.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In the astral planes we suddenly find ourselves without the physical body
that needs to be fed, clothed, sheltered, exercised and rested everyday with
several hours of sleep. Suddenly we have true freedom. The astral body is
impervious to temperature and wind. When the body is cut or hurt it is healed
instantly at will. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="TOC-The-Home-Of-Timestream"></a><span style="color: yellow;">The Home Of Time stream</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The
Time Stream sending station is located on a planet called Marduk with three suns,
so it is never completely dark. It orbits one sun and receives light from two
other nearby stars. Time Stream sits alongside the River of Eternity, the only
river on the planet. The River of Eternity flows 100 million kilometers across
the entire planet the deepest spot in the river being 17,000 meters, the widest
spot 3,700 meters. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Also along the River are comfortably furnished houses. Children arriving on
the astral planes are nurtured by loved ones who already live there. The
children grow and develop to age 25-30. Residents come from several planets and
include gnomes, giants, dwarfs. About 60 billion humanoids live there. There are
animal species unknown on Earth, including brightly colored birds and
butterflies. The temperature is very mild People arrive there with the same
psychological and emotional nature they had when they died, although
shortcomings and imbalances can be overcome through rapid learning.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The planet with its Riverine communities was created by human minds, yet is
as much a reality to its spiritual residents as our Earth is to us. Vegetation
ranges from microscopic algae to giant trees. Many buildings are made of wood. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Inhabitants of the mid-Astral planes are assisted by higher beings in
creating landscapes they are familiar with. While this reality may seem a bit
"fabricated" to us, Swejen Salter is quick to point out that everything in the
astral planes can be seen and touched by people in astral bodies, just as
physical things are fully experienced in our material world. Also, Eastern
mystics have pointed out for centuries that the "solid" world of our day-to-day
reality is completely "fabricated" and illusory as well. The only true reality
is in the godhead, cosmic Source, according to the masters of all time-proven
religions. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="TOC-Moving-on-up"></a><span style="color: yellow;">Moving on up</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As people move upward (or
inward) from the middle to the higher planes. their astral bodies become
lighter, subtler, and of higher-frequency substance. When they reach the rapid
vibrations of the mental-causal planes, their astral bodies disappear. The
mental body is not really a body at all and can be described as a glowing mass
of energy.
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Some people who advance into the mental-causal planes lose their interest in
the affairs of Earth and move onto bigger realities. Other people return
frequently to the astral planes, donning astral bodies as they descend, so that
they can be involved in earthly projects such as ITC.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<hr />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="TOC-Instrumental-TransCommunation-ITC-"></a>Instrumental
TransCommunation (ITC)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The aim of instrumental transcommunication (ITC) is to link us on Earth with
higher beings in such a way that we receive information from these enlightened
beings. This is not an easy feat because of the difference between their world
and ours...between their subtle mind-bodies and our physical mind-bodies.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">...
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">During ITC communications there is far less guesswork. The recipient must be
ready mentally and spiritually to receive information on his or her television,
computer and other electronic devices, and then the information will be 80-100
percent pure, consistently, when received on Earth. In other words, with ITC
either the information received from the spirit worlds is reasonably pure, or
else there is no information received at all.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The obvious advantage of ITC is its reliability once the information starts
coming across. The drawback is that it takes a high degree of spiritual and
psychic development to get the average person "ready" to be a good recipient.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Today there are hundreds of spirit beings working with TimeStream both to
help people become spiritually ready for ITC work and to help send images and
messages to Earthside experimenters once they are ready. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1) Think clearly about what you need.
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you need a car, perhaps it would be best to do a spell that
will help you to bring a car into your life, rather than asking for a few
thousand dollars to come your way so that you can buy a car. Magic can work in
many ways and you might be limiting yourself if you don’t stay open to all
possibilities! But remember, magic works best if you really need something,
rather than just desiring it. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2) Set a goal that is clear, concise and unambiguous.
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Focus only upon one work of magic at a time. For best results,
don’t scatter your power, channel it in one direction. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3) Avoid distractions when performing your spell.
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To be effective in your magic, you must be fully focused upon
your intentions. Put time and energy into preparing
yourself and your spell. Find a location where you can work your spell in
private, without any distractions. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4) Choose the right timing for your spell.
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">By choosing particular days, and by working in harmony with the
phases of the moon, you can
enhance the effectiveness of your spell. The days of the week and the phases of
the moon all have specific energies associated with them, and by knowing the
right time for your spell, you can give it greater power. Working magic is like
swimming in the ocean, you are going to get to your destination quicker and
easier if the currents and tides are moving in the direction you are wanting to
go. You can still get there even if everything is going against you, but it will
not be as easy to achieve your goal. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">5) Use appropriate symbols for your spell.
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When doing the spell, have appropriate music, incense, colours,
objects and tools around you to reinforce the message of the spell to your
subconscious. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">6) Set a time for a result.
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Include in your spell an indication of when you would like to see
a result. If your spell is for greater prosperity, include a
date for when you would like to see that extra cash in your wallet or purse. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">7) Create a simple rhyme to use during the spell.
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Chanting a few appropriate words that you have written yourself,
will have a much better effect than reading text from an ancient spell book.
Repeat your wording lots of times during your spell. Repetition is the key to
sending a message to your subconscious. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">8) Use the “For the good of all!” clause.
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When creating the wording for your spell, remember to include the
phrase, “For the good of all!” This phrase will help your spells to enhance your life, without
having your good fortune being at the expense of another. Another useful phrase
is, “This or something better now comes to me.” Often that which you want at
this point in your life may be different to what you really need, and it’s only
when you look with hindsight from a future point in time that you can realize
this. So, by asking “for this or something better,” you leave yourself open to
greater possibilities becoming available to you. I have heard so many examples
of spells going wrong when the “For the good of all!” wording is not taken into
consideration. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One friend did a spell to get 1,000 for a holiday, and two weeks
later his house was burgled, and the insurance reimbursement cheque ended up
being 1,000 exactly. Another person I know did a spell so that she could have
some time off work, and she promptly broke her leg, requiring three months off
work! I have also heard (many times) about people who do a spell to lose weight,
and they get diarrhoea, or excessive vomiting, or both. They sure lost weight,
but not in a healthy way. Be careful for what you wish for, because you just may get
it! </span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">9) Realize the consequences of having what you asked for.
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Apart from the examples just given, there are other consequences
to be aware of. When something comes into your life, certain responsibilities
come along with it. For example, when doing a spell to get a car, remember that
along with the car comes registration costs, petrol and repair bills, perhaps
monthly loan repayments, etc. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Are you in a position to handle these? A Law of
Exchange is always at work when magic is used. Sometimes what you have wished
for seems to come out of thin air, with little effort on your part, but often it
will arrive from more mundane sources. For example, it may be that after doing a
spell for a car, you win 20,000 in the lottery and you can buy it…Or it may
simply be that you are offered the chance to do extra hours at your work, or a
second job turns up so that you are then in a financial position to afford a
loan for the dream car. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Are you prepared to give this extra energy to the
universe/gods in exchange for the items you wished for? Another way in which
money can become available to you after casting a prosperity spell, is through
being asked if you want to sell something that is of value to you. Are you
willing to part with that family heirloom if someone makes an offer out of the
blue? </span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">10) Avoid using words that you don’t understand.
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Spell books are great for getting ideas, but the spell will work
better if you put it into words that are meaningful to you. In the book “The Key
of Solomon the King” there is a spell for gaining inspiration, and at one point
the spell-caster is supposed to say the Hebrew words, “Vegale hamicata umsa
terata yeh dah ma baxasoxa un horah himesere…” But this sort of wording does
nothing to focus awareness upon the aim of the spell. It is much better to make
something up yourself. For example, for an “inspiration” spell, you could scry
into a water-filled cauldron and say the words, “Beneath the stars and moon so
bright, from cauldron deep and candlelight, the answer that I seek tonight is
now revealed into my sight.” </span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">11) Use positives not negatives.
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Make sure that the wording of your spell is phrased in a positive
manner. For example, with a health spell don’t use wording such as “I don’t want
to be sick anymore.” Your subconscious doesn’t recognize words like “don’t
want”, it can only focus on words that it can put an image to, i.e. the word
“sick”. Spells are basically affirmations that include images
or symbols, so while doing a healing spell, visualize yourself as healthy and
turn this phrase around to something like, “I am healthy, I am strong – all the
day and all night long!” </span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">12) Be realistic.
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Expect miracles, but don’t go overboard! A love spell will help
you to attract romance into your life, but a love spell to attract a Hollywood
movie star as your lover is unrealistic. Even Merlin would have trouble
with that one! </span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">13) Raise power for the spell (if appropriate).
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You can raise power to help send your wishes off into the universe
by drumming, chanting, dancing, or even by running around your magical circle.
Power raising is like pumping up an air rifle before aiming and releasing the
energy, so after raising energy, drop to the ground and visualize your spell as
fully manifest. See it in your mind clearly, and send this image into the
universe knowing that it has already come true.
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Please remember: A magic spell will not work by simply repeating
some words that you find in a spell book. The magic of a spell is contained
within you – your needs, your desires, and the energy you are prepared to put
into the working of the spell. If there is no personal power in your spell, it
is only words.</span></div>

of the Wiccan religion. Every form of Wicca I have ever heard of believes in and
accepts the concept of having multiple lives. I know there are a few Witches
that aren’t thrilled about having to keep coming back , but they believe in it
as just a common fact of existence. On this page, I will discuss common Wiccan
beliefs about death and reincarnation as well as my personal beliefs. I will
tell you what I was taught before you read any further… reincarnation is not
something you must teach yourself to believe, it’s something you must know in
your heart and believe in without a doubt. Never force yourself to believe in
anything, it’s what you feel inside that is right for you, no matter what anyone
else believes in. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">General Reincarnation and Death Beliefs
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">All Wiccan believe in something different, that is one of the many things
makes this religion and way of life so great. Most factors of Wicca include a
basic book type description from which you can base your ideas on. The basic
Wiccan belief of reincarnation is that you are energy, a shapeless, sexless form
that moves from one body which is no longer needed to the next. You are placed
on Earth to learn a lesson. Each incarnation you are born into, you must learn
or relearn a different lesson through experiencing a variety of different
lifestyles. When you have learned all you need to learn in your present life,
you move on, die. Death is not seen as a punishment or a bad thing, but in a
way, it’s a good thing. It means you have completed one step on the incarnal
ladder. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After you die, you are brought to the Summerland which is kind of like
the Wiccan equivalent of Heaven, but since we have no devil, we have no Hell.
The Summerland is where the spirits that presently do not have an earthly body
wait for the right time to return to Earth. It is known by many names and is
often referred to as the Land of Eternal Summer and seen as a gorgeous, lush
green field, with beauty
and trees all around you, with a bright blue sky and a few puffy white clouds,
cute little animals… *sigh* </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyway, moving on, when you enter the Summerland
after death, you review your life and see what you did right and what you did
wrong and need to change. This isn’t judgment! You are not punished, but you are
taught through karma what you need to learn. For example, if in this life you
made fun of all overweight people, then in your next life, chances are you’ll be
an overweight person who is made fun of constantly. This wouldn’t be to punish
you, but to show you what the people you made fun of went through and how it
hurt them. You may not know it in your earthly life why you are being made fun
of and it will probably seem unfair, but when you die and review your life, that
is where you will be shown, ‘this is why that happened. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So as you live and die
and live again, your soul learns and grows and you become a better person until
you achieve your final incarnation… Then, no one knows what happens. After you
have reached enlightenment and no longer have to return to Earth, then what?
Well, no one knows for sure. Many believe it’s simply because what happens then
is beyond the comprehension of the human mind. We only use ten percent of our
brains, knowledge that advanced sure would be pushing our little brains! So
everyone has their theory of what happens after the mysterious final
incarnation. It’s a very fun thing to think about and is a good start into
customizing your religious experience. My personal beliefs about reincarnation
are in the next section below, but they are just my beliefs, they didn’t come
from any book and I don’t claim them to be in any way an accurate representation
of any form of Wicca, other than my own. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The final incarnation in my eyes… I
believe in reincarnation in the same way as described above. I also have my own
beliefs on what happens after your last incarnation. Reincarnation is something
I have always believed in before I discovered I was Wiccan. My belief about how
reincarnation works has never changed. Most Wiccan don’t believe that humans
start out as a rock or animal like some other religions, because we are all
equal. In my opinion, all humans, animals, and plants reincarnate as their
species. Each incarnation, you return to Earth as your own species, but in a
different situation. You may be a Caucasian female one life, and an African
American male next time, but you’re always a human. After your final
incarnation, you have a choice of what you want to do from there. The options
you are given are to return to Earth to begin another round of human
incarnations, to return as another species, to stay in the Summerland, or to
become a spiritual benign such as a spirit guide, angel, or through time
something such as an elemental. That’s what spirit guides and angels are souls
that have completed their incarnations and are qualified to assist those of us
that are still on Earth learning and help us know what we need to learn. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">All religious systems have a place where the soul ascends (or descends) when
the physical body can no longer function. In Craft belief, we call this place
the Summerland. This is the resting place- the way station, if you will- for
souls to recover, and categorize information and lessons we have learned. We
have no Hell, or place of terror or damnation. Reincarnation- the logical
process of living, dying, and living again on the earth plane. Some religions
also believe in transmigration, where an individual’s soul may enter not only
the body of a human, but the body of a plant or animal. In most Witchcraft
Traditions, reincarnation is the accepted theology for dealing with the subject
of death and rebirth. We move with the seasons, the cycle of the Wheel, the turn
of birth, death, and rebirth. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">That part of it usually isn’t questioned because
it is logical. What is questioned is the space between the living experiences,
the number of lifetimes, and the reasoning for going through each one. Also
intriguing is “who we were,” with whom, and when. Reincarnation is one of
Wicca’s most valuable lessons. The knowledge that this life is but one of many,
that when the physical body dies we do not cease to exist but are reborn in
another body answers many questions, but raises a few more. Wicca teaches that
reincarnation is the instrument through which our souls are perfected. one
lifetime isn’t sufficient to attain this goal; hence, the consciousness (soul)
is reborn many times, each life encompassing a different set of lessons, until
perfection is achieved. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">No one can say how many lives are required before this
is accomplished. In Wicca, we seek to strengthen our bodies, minds and souls. We
certainly live full, productive earthly lives, and we do so while harming none.
The soul is ageless, sexless, non-physical, possessed of the divine spark of the
Goddess and God. Each manifestation of the soul (i.e., each body it inhabits on
Earth) is different. No two bodies or lives are the same. What happens after
death? Only the body dies. The soul lives on. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This realm is neither in heaven nor the underworld. It simply is- a non-
physical reality much less dense than ours. Some Wiccan traditions describe it
as a land of eternal summer, with grassy fields and sweet flowing rivers,
perhaps the Earth before the advent of humans. Others see it vaguely as a realm
without forms, where energy
swirls coexist with the greatest energies- the Goddess and God in their
celestial identities. The soul is said to review the past life, perhaps through
some mysterious way with the deities. This isn’t a judgment, a weighing of one’s
soul, but an incarnation review. Lessons learned or ignored are brought to
light. After the proper time, when the conditions on Earth are correct, the soul
is reincarnated and life begins again. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The final question- what happens after
the last incarnation? Wiccan teachings have always been vague on this.
Basically, the Wiccan say that after rising upon the spiral of life and death
and rebirth, those souls who have attained perfection break away from the cycle
forever and dwell with the Goddess and God. Nothing is ever lost. The energies
resident in our souls return to the divine source from which they originally
emanated. Because of the acceptance of reincarnation, the Wicca don’t fear death
as a final plunge into oblivion, the days of life on Earth forever behind them.
It is seen as the door to birth. Thus our very lives are symbolically linked
with the endless cycles of the seasons which shape our planet. Reincarnation is
as real as a plant that buds, flowers, drops its seed, withers and creates a new
plant in its image.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Raven carries magick from the dark void of the Crone (dark mother) to our
realm.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This void is where great knowledge awaits us. Thus, Raven has a
great<br />responsibility to the spirit realm. Those who have Raven medicine will
also feel<br />this responsibility and will tend to be those who share deeper
knowledge –<br />spiritual teachers, healers, priests, doctors, prophets.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Raven comes when you ask for love, light and healing. When Raven brings
his<br />medicine to you, he gives you a heightened awareness, sharper perception
and an<br />expanded consciousness. With this new perception, you can look into
the heart<br />and soul of people, begin feeling what they feel. This strong
empathy can be a<br />burden.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With this refined perception comes a responsibility to use the Raven
medicine<br />wisely. Once could abuse it, using it for selfish, nefarious
purposes. This is<br />not the way to go. Use the clarity and understanding that
Raven gives you for<br />good purposes. That is why Raven comes to you when you
need night the most. He<br />does not want you to turn to the darkness because it
will eventually destroy<br />you. As long as you use Raven’s powerful medicine for
the good of others, life<br />will continue to flow smoothly for you as well.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">HAWK </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hawk carries a message in his shrill cry which only those with Hawk medicine
can</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">decipher. His piercing shriek slices through the shroud of unknowing,
asking you<br />to seek the truth. His cry represents illumination in the darkness
of ignorance.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hawk will not let your talents and skills go to waste, instead he will
scope<br />out the situation to make sure you use as much of your talents as
possible. Hawk<br />can solve a problem by flying above the situation. He removes
himself from it,<br />observing it only as a passive viewer. This allows Hawk to
see the big picture.<br />Hawk’s broad vision allows you to see the past, present
and future all laid out<br />before you.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once you are aware of the opportunities in front of you, Hawk will<br />help
you to wisely choose your moves to make the best of your potential.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">BEAR </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Bear is the keeper of the dreamtime. He stores your dream knowledge so tht
you<br />may learn from it when you awaken.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Bear thinks his actions through very carefully. He is to quick to judge,
but<br />rather thinks deeply about his decisions. When you ask Bear a question or
ask<br />for an opinion, you can be sure that he will reply with an informed,
well<br />thought out answer.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Bear is usually nourishing and gentle, but has quick reflexes and will
readily<br />fight if necessary with brute strength and speed.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Bear loves to get his paws into sweet things but even more importantly,
Bear<br />lives to feel comfortable and warm. Other people feel cosy with Bear.
Bear<br />people are often sleepy and tend to “hibernate” more than others.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">WOLF </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><em></em>Wolf is a teacher and pathfinder. He comes to you when you need guidance and</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
once you accept his medicine, you will move on to be a teacher to others about<br />
sacredness and spirituality. Wolf can solve other people’s problems easily,<br />
finding solutions in difficult situations. He communicates through subtle<br />
gestures and expressions. A simple glance can be worth a million words.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Would people are social and have a good sense of family values and togetherness.<br />
They are friendly and intelligent. They are also loyal to their mate and highly<br />
protective of family and close friends.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">DOLPHIN </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dolphin warns mankind of the danger that nears as we ignore the balance of
our<br />delicate ecosystem.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dolphin teaches man how controlling our breathing can release emotions and
help<br />us reach altered states of consciousness. If you are able to breathe in
rhythm<br />with Dolphin, he will take you to all the places that existed before
man walked<br />the earth, before the seas covered the land, during our primordial
beginnings.<br />Dolphin also teaches how inner sound, along with breathing, can
allow you to<br />enter the waters of life to seek your desires.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dolphin’s lesson is to move with the flow of life. Go the direction life
carries you and you will avoid great<br />obstacles. He encourages you to dive
deep into the waters of life, don’t forget<br />to enjoy life, and always
remember to breathe.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">SNAKE </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Snake medicine is rare and is most often presented to the person using
the<br />approach of fear. A person with Snake medicine will find that they are
fearful<br />of this Shadow Animal most of their lives. But after surviving many
venomous<br />snake attacks, they conquer their fear and are opened to the world of
Snake’s<br />medicine.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Snake comes to you at a time when you are heading for change. You are ready
to<br />explore the mysterious, voyage where you have never gone before, whether
in the<br />physical world or in the depths of the mind and soul. People with
Snake medicine<br />know the power of renewal. Snake sheds his skin leaving it
behind and slithering<br />away completely renewed. Snake people can do the same,
shedding their dull<br />layers to reveal a brilliant new self underneath.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Snake people are also creative and have strong psychic intuitive powers.
Snake<br />represents the silver cord that connects the physical body to the
astral body,<br />so Snake people may also be especially adept in astral travel.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The snake is a symbol of Goddess energy and he will protect
you from religious<br />persecution.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">HORSE </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Horse is a beautiful, powerful, proud creature who has taken many forms
in<br />mythology. Pegasus, Unicorn, Centaur, and many other creatures in
mythology are<br />brothers to Horse. Horse is a magickal creature who can see
into man’s soul.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Horse shows his devotion in his willingness to carry man on his back, giving
him<br />a freedom of movement and travel that no other animal can provide.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The lesson Horse brings to man is that there is strength in numbers. He
teaches<br />that cooperation, collaboration, and the ties of friendship equal
power. Horse<br />shows us that when we can synchronize our motive with the
motives of others, we<br />have the power to do anything and reach any goal.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A Horse person has a wild spirit that cannot be broken. Horse loves freedom,
but<br />also is unquestioning and faithful to his master. A warrior lies inside
those<br />with Horse medicine. This warrior spirit keeps you safe in your travels
and<br />fills you with stamina.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">BUTTERFLY </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Butterfly is a magical animal. She represents change more so then any
other<br />power animal. She was a symbol of the soul in earlier times. The Greek
work<br />“psyche” meant both “soul” and “butterfly”. It was believed that when a
person<br />died, their soul became a butterfly.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A butterfly person loves to dance. The dance of Butterfly is full of bliss,
joy<br />and power.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Butterfly will come to you at a point in your life when you are undergoing
a<br />change which requires courage. You are coming out of your cocoon, and that
takes<br />a lot of bravery, going to face something you have never faced before.
When<br />Butterfly comes to you, examine what changes you are going through.
Butterfly<br />gives you the chance to make your transformation a beautiful
experience. Once<br />transformation is complete, your possibilities will have
greatly expanded.<br />Nothing can stop you as long as you use your wonderful new
wings and fly.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Crows </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Crows are the keepers of the Sacred Law and to have a Crow totem is very powerful.</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Crow is an omen of Change. The Crow lives in the void and has no
sense of time, therefore, it sees past, present and future
simultaneously. The Crow merges both light and dark, both inner and
outer. It is the totem of the Great Spirit and must be respected as
such. They are symbols of creation and spiritual strength.
Look for opportunities to create and manifest the magic of life. Crows
are messengers calling to us about the creation and magic that is alive
in the world today and available to us.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You know a crow is your power animal if you are very resourceful,
effective in using whatever is available to you to get what you want or
need. You are sociable but would rather spend your time with close
friends and family. You view the spiritual and physical world as
illusory and are therefore able to shift reality to suit you. You let
yourself be guided more by the voice of spirits to be guided by your
personal integrity rather than by human-laws. You speak up willingly
whenever you feel that something is out of sorts or balance with
spiritual law.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If a crow shows up you are on the verge of manifesting something you
have been working on for a while. You need to be very watchful in the
next few days for any omens or signs that will teach and guide
you….expecting a big change soon! You have noticed something that seems
out of balance or an injustice that has not been addressed and it is
time to speak up about it. You are soon to take glimpse into a future
event that directly affects you. Call upon the Crow if you feel as if
someone is trying to con or trick you but you are unsure. If you are
faced with some significant change and need help and guidance. A strong
surge of creative feelings are happening and you need support in
developing them. You are receiving guidance in the form of signs and
omens but aren’t’ sure of the meaning of them. Call upon the Crow if you
are going down a treacherous path (relationships…projects..) and want advance warning of any pitfalls.</span><br />

<strong>Colours like everything else in your dreams are there to heal you, to guide
you as an expression of your reaction to the subject matter of your
dream.</strong><br />
<strong> </strong>
<br />
<strong>White</strong>
<br />
Perfection Meaning: Hope, faith, purity, perfection, confidence,
enlightenment. When mixed or associated with other colors it purifies and
refines the meaning of that color. White alone can indicate a proud, rigid,
judgmental immaturity – a should be, controlling attitude. Soft or pearl white
can indicate the gift of prophecy.<br />
<br />
<strong>Black</strong>
<br />
Fear Meaning: Negativity, i.e. fear, anxiety, hatred, resentment, guilt,
depression (no hope / faith). When mixed or associated with other colors it
adulterates their meaning e.g. darker shades of red, blue yellow, etc. Black and
White indicates intolerance, simplistic extremism – If something is not good it
must be evil.<br />
<br />
<strong>Red</strong>
<br />
Passion Meaning: Joy, sexuality, aggression, animal passion, fun. The shade
of red is important Scarlet: lust Maroon: frigidity Red and black: anger Red and
white: need for joy and hope – especially if worn or brought by a healing agent.<br />
<br />
<strong>Orange</strong>
<br />
Drive and Ambition Sacral Meaning: Drive, ambition, (mix of yellow and red).
Energizing color, especially in career dreams. Orange and Black: Career. Also
used to heal the digestive/elimination system.<br />
<br />
<strong>Yellow</strong>
<br />
Intellect Solar Plexus Meaning: Mental activity, intellect. Ability to
rationalize. If brought by healing agent it means the dreamer has difficulty
rationalizing. Muddy or mustard yellow has the same meaning. If a guide wears or
brings pure bright yellow, i.e. Yellow (intellect) plus White (Enlightenment)
then dreamer has an intuitive or enlightened intellect. Yellow may represent
dreamers usual reaction to the subject matter.<br />
<br />
<strong>Green</strong>
<br />
Sharing and Balance Heart Meaning: Adaptability, reconciliation, Need for
healing, harmony, balance, reconciliation (within self or self with others).
Dark green, battle dress green or green and black represent difficulties with
sharing (jealousy, rivalry). Need to balance male and female aspects. Look for
trouble with the heart. Balance and healing for the heart, circulatory systems
and emotions by becoming more giving, generous and emotionally open. If the
green is worn or brought by guide (esp. if pink or peach also appears) then the
dreamer has counseling skills. Also indicated by Books, Newspapers, Library.<br />
<br />
<strong>Pink </strong>
<br />
Unconditional Love Heart Meaning: Love (mix of red and white), need or
unconditional love, usually mother love or love for mother. This usually means
that the dreamer did not bond with mother or mother did not give unconditional
love at birth.<br />
<br />
<strong>Blue</strong>
<br />
Philosophy Throat Meaning: Spirituality, religion, art, culture, philosophy,
attitude to life itself. Dark blue (blue + black): Negative philosophy of life.
e.g. superstition or fearful form of religion. When fear (black) is mixed with
blue (fear pollutes attitude to life). Light Blue (blue + white): Hope / faith.
Healing agents will often appear wearing this color. If a guide appears wearing
blue and silver or gold then you are expected to regard intuition (silver) or
healing (gold) as spiritual.<br />
<br />
<strong>Purple</strong>
<br />
Spiritual Leader and Teacher Crown Meaning: Nobility of purpose, spiritual
leadership, spiritual teaching, regal, power, authority in spiritual matters
e.g. bishops wear purple. The shade of purple is important Mauve: endurance

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The bell is an incredibly ancient ritual tool. When being struck, the bell
produces vibrations that are filled with power in accordance to the bell’s
fullness, tone and material.<br />Bells of all sizes are being used across the world, the bell of Notre
Dame in France for example. Over the years, people have been singing songs and
carols with these instruments, which is in part the reason for the bell’s
association with winter holidays.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A bell is a female symbol and often used in rituals to invite the Goddess.
The chimes of the bell are used to reflect negative spells and evil spirits and encourage
good energy. When not in use, you can keep the bell inside of a cabinet or hang
it on a door to guard your home, or simply place it on your altar for future
use. The element associated with the bell is Air.<br />During rituals, there is a
meaning to the number of times the bell is struck: </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 – a new beginning
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 – the number of the God, unity

coast. Guests to their homes report lavishly decorated tables and servants
invisible except for their hands and feet. They like to eat fish.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03697344999849245781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364355146879034329.post-40626142464608854082013-08-03T11:09:00.000+01:002013-09-21T15:42:04.303+01:00Fairy Names W<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;">Themselves</span><br />They, or Them that’s in it. The most common Manx names used in
place of the word “fairy”, which was generally considered an unlucky word to
use. It is sometimes said that “themselves” are the souls of those drowned in
Noah’s flood. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;">Tiddy Ones, Tiddy Men, or Tiddy People.</span><br />The Lincolnshire fenman’s nature
spirits, which are also referred to as the Yarthkins or Strangers. Most of them
were undifferentiated, a drifting mass of influenced and powers rather than
individuals. The one among them personally known and almost beloved was the
Tiddy Mun, who was invoked in times of flood to withdraw the waters. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;">Tokolosh</span><br />A South African faerie; Tokolosh is a sullen spirit who lives
beside streams, throwing stones into the water on still nights. He is famous for
frightening lone travelers, usually by jumping on a small animal or bird and
strangling it so that the poor animal’s panicked cry alarms the traveler. He is
described as being something like a baboon, but smaller and without a tail, and
covered with black hair. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;">Trolls</span><br />Cave Dwellers, Scandinavian faeries who hate sunlight. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;">Trooping Fay or Faery</span><br />The Faery have been divided into two main classes:
trooping and Solitary. It is a distinction that hold good throughout the British
Isles, and is indeed valid wherever fairy beliefs are held. The trooping fay can
be large or small, friendly or sinister. They tend to wear green jackets, while
the Solitary Faery wear red jackets. They can range from the Heroic Faery to the
dangerrous and malevolent Sluagh, or tose Diminutive Fairies who include the
tiny nature spirits that make the fairy rings with their dancing and speed the
growth of flowers.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;">Trows</span><br />Live on the Shetland Islands, similiar to the Scandinavian Trolls
and like them, have an aversion to daylight. They are frequently observed
performing a curious lop sided dance called ‘Henking’ </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;">Tylwyth Teg / terlooeth teig</span><br />The Fair Family. The most unusual name for
Welsh fairies, though they are sometimes called Bendith Y Mammau, in an attempt
to avert their kidnapping activities by invoking a euphemistic name. They are
fair haired, and love golden hair. They dance and make fairy rings. They are
like the Daoine Sidhe, and dwell underground or under water. The fairy maidens
are easily won as wives and will live with human husbands for a time. The danger
of visiting them in their own country lies in the miraculous passage of time in
Faery land. They give riches to their favourites, but these gifts vanish if they
are spoken of.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03697344999849245781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364355146879034329.post-83825876428453482222013-08-03T11:01:00.000+01:002013-09-21T15:44:40.541+01:00Fairy Names S<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;">Seelie Court</span><br />Blessed Court; Name of the kindly fairy host, or benevolent
Faery of the positive polarity, and is generally used to describe the Scottish
fairies. The malignant fairies were sometimes called the Unseelie Court. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;">Selkies</span><br />The seas around Orkney and Shetland harbor the Selkies or Seal
Faeries (known as Roane in Ireland). A female Selkie is able to discard her
seal-skin and come ashore as a beautiful maiden. If a human can capture this
skin, the Selkie can be forced to become a fine, if wistful, wife. However,
should she ever find her skin she immediately returns to the sea, leaving the
husband to pine and die. The males raise storms and upturn boats to avenge the
indiscriminate slaughter of seals. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;">Shellycoat</span><br />A Scottish bogie who haunts fresh water streams and is
festooned with shells which clatter when he moves. He takes pleasure in tricking
and bewildering travelers and leading them astray. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;">Sidhe, Sith, or Si / shee</span><br />The Gaelic name for fairie, both in Ireland and
the Highlands of Scotland. Very tall beings that seem to either shine or appear
opalescent. The shining beings belong to the earthly realm; while the opalescent
beings belong to the heavenly world. As with any shamanic practice there are
three great worlds which we can see while we are still in the body: the
heavenly, the earthly, and under worldly realms. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;">Silent Moving Folk</span><br />The Scottish fairies who live in green knolls and in
the mountain fastness of the Highlands. See Still folk. </span><br />
<br />

the Manx tongue. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;">Sluagh / slooa</span><br />The most formidable of the Highland fairy people; The host
of the Unforgiven Dead. By some scholars, they are regarded as the fallen
angels, not the dead, but on the whole their accounts correspond closely to that
given by Alexander Carmichael in ‘Carmina Gadelica’ </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;">Small People of Cornwall</span><br />The Fairies were sometimes spoken of this way in
Cornwall. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;">Solitary Fairies</span><br />The fairies who are chiefly malignant or ominous
creatures, comprise this group, although there may be a few nature spirits or
dwindled gods among them. An exception is the Brownie and its variants though
there are few family groups among the Brownies some think that they were
unacceptable in Faery land because of their ragged, unkept appearance, and that
they went off to the Seelie Court when they were properly dressed. However, this
is only one school of thought on the subject. Other creatures, such as the
Lepracaun, Pooka, and Bean Si, also comprise this group. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;">Spriggans</span><br />Grotesque and ugly in shape. Although quite small, they have the
ability to inflate themselves into monstrous forms which has led humans to
believe them to be the ghosts of old giants. Apart
from their useful function as guardians of hill treasure, Spriggans are an
infamous band of villains, skilled thieves, thoroughly destructive and often
dangerous. They are capable of robbing human houses, kidnapping children (and
leaving a repulsive baby Spriggan in exchange) causing whirl winds to destroy
fields of corn, blighting crops and all manner of other unpleasant mischief. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: cyan;">Sprites</span><br />A general name for fairies and other spirits such as Sylphs and
nerieds. </span><br />
