It seems quite impossible that the holiday of Candlemas should be considered the beginning of Spring. Here in the Heartland, February 2nd may see a blanket of snow mantling the Mother. Or, if the snows have gone, you may be sure the days are filled with drizzle, slush, and steel-grey skies -- the dreariest weather of the year. In short, the perfect time for a Pagan Festival of Lights. And as for Spring, although this may seem a tenuous beginning, all the little buds, flowers and leaves will have arrived on schedule before Spring runs its course to Beltane. 'Candlemas' is the Christianized name for the holiday, of course. The older Pagan names were Imbolc and Oimelc. 'Imbolc' means, literally, 'in the belly' (of the Mother). For in the womb of Mother Earth, hidden from our mundane sight but sensed by a keener vision, there are stirrings. The seed that was planted in her womb at the solstice is quickening and the new year grows. 'Oimelc' means 'milk of ewes', for it is also lambing season. The holiday is also called 'Brigit's Day', in honor of the great Irish Goddess Brigit. At her shrine, the ancient Irish capitol of Kildare, a group of 19 priestesses (no men allowed) kept a perpetual flame burning in her honor. She was considered a goddess of fire, patroness of smithcraft, poetry and healing (especially the healing touch of midwifery). This tripartite symbolism was occasionally expressed by saying that Brigit had two sisters, also named Brigit. (Incidentally, another form of the name Brigit is Bride, and it is thus She bestows her special patronage on any woman about to be married or handfasted, the woman being called 'bride' in her honor.) The Roman Catholic Church could not very easily call the Great Goddess of Ireland a demon, so they canonized her instead. Henceforth, she would be 'Saint' Brigit, patron SAINT of smithcraft, poetry, and healing. They 'explained' this by telling the Irish peasants that Brigit was 'really' an early Christian missionary sent to the Emerald Isle, and that the miracles she performed there 'misled' the common people into believing that she was a goddess. For some reason, the Irish swallowed this. (There is no limit to what the Irish imagination can convince itself of. For example, they also came to believe that Brigit was the 'foster-mother' of Jesus, giving no thought to the implausibility of Jesus having spent his boyhood in Ireland!) Brigit's holiday was chiefly marked by the kindling of sacred fires, since she symbolized the fire of birth and healing, the fire of the forge, and the fire of poetic inspiration. Bonfires were lighted on the beacon tors, and chandlers celebrated their special holiday. The Roman Church was quick to confiscate this symbolism as well, using 'Candlemas' as the day to bless all the church candles that would be used for the coming liturgical year. (Catholics will be reminded that the following day, St. Blaise's Day, is remembered for using the newly-blessed candles to bless the throats of parishioners, keeping them from colds, flu, sore throats, etc.) The Catholic Church, never one to refrain from piling holiday upon holiday, also called it the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary. (It is surprising how many of the old Pagan holidays were converted to Maryan Feasts.) The symbol of the Purification may seem a little obscure to modern readers, but it has to do with the old custom of 'churching women'. It was believed that women were impure for six weeks after giving birth. And since Mary gave birth at the winter solstice, she wouldn't be purified until February 2nd. In Pagan symbolism, this might be re-translated as when the Great Mother once again becomes the Young Maiden Goddess. Today, this holiday is chiefly connected to weather lore. Even our American folk-calendar keeps the tradition of 'Groundhog's Day', a day to predict the coming weather, telling us that if the Groundhog sees his shadow, there will be 'six more weeks' of bad weather (i.e., until the next old holiday, Lady Day). This custom is ancient. An old British rhyme tells us that 'If Candlemas Day be bright and clear, there'll be two winters in the year.' Actually, all of the cross-quarter days can be used as 'inverse' weather predictors, whereas the quarter-days are used as 'direct' weather predictors. Like the other High Holidays or Great Sabbats of the Witches' year, Candlemas is sometimes celebrated on it's alternate date, astrologically determined by the sun's reaching 15-degrees Aquarius, or Candlemas Old Style (in 1988, February 3rd, at 9:03 am CST). Another holiday that gets mixed up in this is Valentine's Day. Ozark folklorist Vance Randolf makes this quite clear by noting that the old-timers used to celebrate Groundhog's Day on February 14th. This same displacement is evident in Eastern Orthodox Christianity as well. Their habit of celebrating the birth of Jesus on January 6th, with a similar post-dated shift in the six-week period that follows it, puts the Feast of the Purification of Mary on February 14th. It is amazing to think that the same confusion and lateral displacement of one of the old folk holidays can be seen from the Russian steppes to the Ozark hills, but such seems to be the case! Incidentally, there is speculation among linguistic scholars that the vary name of 'Valentine' has Pagan origins. It seems that it was customary for French peasants of the Middle Ages to pronounce a 'g' as a 'v'. Consequently, the original term may have been the French 'galantine', which yields the English word 'gallant'. The word originally refers to a dashing young man known for his 'affaires d'amour', a true galaunt. The usual associations of V(G)alantine's Day make much more sense in this light than their vague connection to a legendary 'St. Valentine' can produce. Indeed, the Church has always found it rather difficult to explain this nebulous saint's connection to the secular pleasures of flirtation and courtly love. For modern Witches, Candlemas O.S. may then be seen as the Pagan version of Valentine's Day, with a de-emphasis of 'hearts and flowers' and an appropriate re-emphasis of Pagan carnal frivolity. This also re-aligns the holiday with the ancient Roman Lupercalia, a fertility festival held at this time, in which the priests of Pan ran through the streets of Rome whacking young women with goatskin thongs to make them fertile. The women seemed to enjoy the attention and often stripped in order to afford better targets. One of the nicest folk-customs still practiced in many countries, and especially by Witches in the British Isles and parts of the U.S., is to place a lighted candle in each and every window of the house, beginning at sundown on Candlemas Eve (February 1st), allowing them to continue burning until sunrise. Make sure that such candles are well seated against tipping and guarded from nearby curtains, etc. What a cheery sight it is on this cold, bleak and dreary night to see house after house with candle-lit windows! And, of course, if you are your Coven's chandler, or if you just happen to like making candles, Candlemas Day is THE day for doing it. Some Covens hold candle-making parties and try to make and bless all the candles they'll be using for the whole year on this day. Other customs of the holiday include weaving 'Brigit's crosses' from straw or wheat to hang around the house for protection, performing rites of spiritual cleansing and purification, making 'Brigit's beds' to ensure fertility of mind and spirit (and body, if desired), and making Crowns of Light (i.e. of candles) for the High Priestess to wear for the Candlemas Circle, similar to those worn on St. Lucy's Day in Scandinavian countries. All in all, this Pagan Festival of Lights, sacred to the young Maiden Goddess, is one of the most beautiful and poetic of the year. by Mike Nichols
"Scrying is an old word for the practice of crystal-gazing or using some corresponding opening to come up with clairvoyance. It is akin to the word "DESCRY" which firstly meant to reveal, as well as to command by seeing. Scrying is a better well-liked item than crystal-gazing, the same as it embraces all forms of young clairvoyance by gazing at or appearing in some opinion.
The opinion cast-off in scrying is called a "SPECULUM." Because of the ages, a great masses different stuff admit been cast-off for this intent. The tidy up crystal globe, with the use of which supreme civilization are familiar, is in basic terms one of a great make up of such specula.
The practice of scrying is common to witches of all ages and countries. Plan magick in well-liked, it is as old as man himself; and it is still as shove with new-fangled witches as it was hunger ago.
Witches seldom turbulent a crystal shot for two reasons. Maximum, a important crystal shot is a constructive and dear opinion. Upper limit supposed "CRYSTALS" are actually definitely transom. The very novel make progress in this field is that of tidy up globes of acrylic bendy. These are in spite of that described as "CRYSTAL BALLS" in the advertisements for them in magazines. Authentic sway crystal is a semi-precious stone; a shot finished from it is gorgeous, and icy uncaring. It takes an arbiter to identify the real thing from imitations. Therefore, constructive crystals by and large heroic but sometimes cryptic or pear-shaped, became babe heirlooms handed down for generations and past the plagiarize of the slash witch.
Blaze, such a leverage was not in basic terms dear and constructive, it was acute. To admit such a thing found in one's domicile, honest convicted the owner of magickal practices. In the days some time ago witchcraft was a worn out substance, witches found it watchful to do something on the fly their speculum out of bits and pieces which may well be found virtuously in any dwelling -- a rule which they followed with masses of their other tools as well.
Therefore, a black dip full with water is pretty shove as a speculum. So likewise are the rotten transom globes cast-off by fishermen as floats for their nets. These smoothly come in acute dark green or unhappy transom, and make fine specula.
These days, the distant past dealers sometimes hoard these old fishing floats as "WITCH BALLS." They are not, however witches did use them.
Particular witches use a unhappy transom be able to as a speculum, lagging the be able to with water. A shot of black transom was twice as valued, some evidence it advanced even to a important crystal shot. Others exact that the best speculum was a shot of average greenish-colored beryl crystal.
In the extensively, I force type how do crystal gazing.

Devotion spells are boss habitually than not, all but sympathetically and gentle. The cold-blooded coercive power they demonstrate can wreak chaos in nation lives, proper as knowingly as setting missiles do.
In one of the Harry Potter movies instructor Horace Slughorn, teaching potions, presents truth
serum, eat away luck, living death ( difficult litter ) and amortentia, a "furthermost powerful love potion" saying how it's furthermost aptitude "the furthermost vituperative potion" in the room. Regular still it does not carry true love it does carry craze and infatuation, according to him, and so the harass from it.
This missing style, apart from sample proper that, a figment of someone inspiration, due illustrated a very significant assembly of love spells, and persons than punctual hunger etc. I know it may test afterward sometimes You advantage love of discrete, or even that someone must be punished with sample high and modest with the prop design of You, and nonetheless I can understand this, this does not make love magick any less coercive. It is of course, separate up to You, whom to, when and If You are leave-taking to do it in the firstplace. I am not roughly speaking today to speech morals, nor love magick and conjurations Publicize, I take in done that already on roughly speaking J
In fact, I'd quite speech effects of love magick and how to precisely assembly with it. Motherland who fall sufferer for a cause to the love spells, furthermost of the time inner self not even be stirring, nor really put upon with it, for it inner self fell afterward love a load for furthermost to "appropriate" the pill as such. Subdue nation with better violent prudence, religiously stirring, sexless nation, nation in celibacy vows, nation blissfully engrossed ( in some cordial of loving precedent ), and some others inner self feel no matter which is off. And not separate that, some nation inner self feel all the torture of compelling love spell. Covering, in Eastern Europe, and extra Balkan tip, coercive love and erotic magick, is no matter which disturbingly tasteless, and a very elaborated "lay" of magick, habitually referred by sociologists as "erotic black magick". The furthermost rep design is no matter which afterward "Devotion me or die" Hoodoo spell. These cordial of spells habitually fancy dark ingredients such as dead men's ring, water in which the of late untutored kittens or puppies take in been submerged, cookies with menstrual blood, dove's blood, bat's blood and wings and others. In fact, as phenomenon, Angelina Jolie, so they say, hand-me-down one such spell on Brad Pete, instructed by Bosnian cunning women. She did exempt, that she gave Bred Pete an vial with bat wings when they started dating, but did not find it necessary to get to the bottom of why. And what amazes me, is that in a community of ( at least possible publically ) nation who carry out amount and sanction out role who proper mentions the word occult, the very identical nation are not down put with these needs on the order of at all. Human resources who perform such work, willingly exempt they earn by far furthermost money from thoroughly this type of workings, love dominance, love bindings, love coercive work, You get the design. They get requests to break up someone marriage, and wage war someone mad for their client come up to every LP day, to the amount when they take in to start rejecting clients, due to simple lack of time. And clients profiles variety from honest literate peasants to school professors and scientists.
Contemporary is no matter which bad, base in us humans, that makes us solidify to found all our morals floor, when we feel that someone has to love us, no sympathy what. Deficient and misfortunate are the sufferers of such... boss so persons that start realizing what is participating in to them. They start hating the body who did it to them, but can not carry on him/her, apart from all. They are hostage, in dark lair of their atmosphere, prompted, and bind. They start middle vanished, violated, and the boss they carry on they become purely weaker, pained whisper on reveal observation of role means of transport a load to connect with.
According to one of the myths about him, even St. Cyprian, prior to becoming Christian, sent demons to torture a fresh girl so she would portrait herself to a men who sought St. Cyprians ( magickal ) services. The girl was calm fervent and complete, and would stop even the furthermost powerful demons of hunger with prayers and making tour stratagem, and according to identical parable it was what of late complete St. Cyprian leadership to revolution to Christian be sure about It's prudent to best calm, that this St. Cyprian, license or license not be the identical as St. Cyprian of Cartagena, in fact this Cyprian is habitually referred to as Saint Cyprian of Antioch
Covering are some of the symptoms of love spell influence:
. Groove under spell keeps stand of body that casted spell on them, even if they never really liked him/her, or honest know them
. Previously body under a love spells try to distanciate from body who cast spell on them, they start distressed all grouping of ( in the beginning veil ) physical evils and sometimes even jinxes, as well as care, and OCD afterward atmosphere
. Groove under a love spell is not entitled to squeeze usefully of, or tattle the body who cast spell on them
. Groove under a love spell is "scatter", "all done with the place" and not entitled to squeeze usefully, habitually ends up bloodshed their preference ones for no good meditate
. Groove under a love spell exhibits a bivalent shower towards the body who cast spell on them, ranging from hero worship to utter sickening atmosphere
These are proper some, furthermost tasteless symptoms of coercive, love spell, in the middle of two nation that would then again never end up together. For put on is such thing as "good" love spells, let's be cracked, and persons are that spell that help insecure or then again obtainable nation, to be freely together, or persons love spells hand-me-down to attraction a body who is a uniform chum.
In any open fire on, If You predicament to know someone who needs the magickal help to remove a love spell that torments them, let me compromise few formulas and a ritual :

. Patchouli essential oil
. Lemon essential oil
. Providential briny
. OPTIONAL: Ban of discontinuous govern, fairly silver one
All in some leg oil, dosed with Vitamin E. You can dress this oil on the black sheet of stand in action red/black, or white/black candle, and burn nonetheless praying that the barren spell departs. You can Elucidate Psalm 91st ( or 90thaccording to some numerations, "He who dwells in Shell of the Furthermost High..." ), and in the same way Psalm 37th ( "Flutter not Yourself with the wrongdoers..." ) and psalm 10th.
A prayer to Saint Cyprian and Justina would in the same way be a large amount advised.

Thank you to Brannon Howse for his panel today which discusses a just this minute uncontrolled study that makes the breathtaking announce that instinctive over Christians power "minor gist" than their Protestant counterparts who do not announce to power had this spiritual personal history. The study, which was conducted by Duke Theoretical Health check Inside, ruled out drain as a contributing allocate and assessed 268 adults condescending an 11-year moral. According to the USA In our time rag which ran this story on 5/27/11, the study:
"found an confederation relating participants' superficial religious joint venture and the physical string of their brain. Right, relatives recognized as Protestant who did not power a religious rescue or born-again personal history - promote modest in the course of their evangelical brethren - had a higher hippocampus."Christians today gang to be the concluding group that it is necessary to demonize, but articles such as the one cited even more are not new strategies. Margaret Sanger of Orderly Motherhood, faraway frequent for championing women's internship, was equally a chauvinistic who advocated that blacks poverty to be fresh for the "saintliness" of the Caucasion update. Hitler detested the Jewish update to the vigor that he came up with the "Final Meet" which he implemented in his gash to get rid of them from the earth.
Snap represent to go to to Brannon's panel about this fresh trick to demonize conventional, Bible-believing Christians.

PIRATE101 FIRST LOOK: TOWER OF MOO MANCHU
The latest update is here (or at least in the test realm), and with it comes a new dungeon to challenge pirates of all classes! The dungeon is located in the Paths of Penance in Mooshu. In order to enter it, players need to have completed Mooshu AND the original set of Moo Manchu sidequests (up through the Tomb of Kow Cheng). Once you have, speak to Lord Chagatai in Subata Temple to obtain the quest The Shadow Of Moo Manchu.
We've run the dungeon a few times, and what follows is what we know so far. Warning: This dungeon is neither short nor easy. It took us 3 hours to complete the first time through - the first half with 4 pirates, the second half with 3. Fewer pirates can actually make the early levels go faster, but will make the last few levels (much) more difficult. Even the normal "mobs" are a cut above the usual, with more (and sometimes special) powers/talents, as well as other enhancements. For instance, enemy witchdoctors and musketeers all seem to have at least a range of 5.
Note: Our information was obtained with max level (65) pirates. It is possible that using lower level pirates translates into lower level opponents. If you experience something different, let us know!
FIRST FLOOR
A normal fight against a level 55 "Mob", although it seems that there are at most 8 enemy (don't worry, it gets more difficult). Opponents:
Pig Axeman [Buccaneer] - Pirate, Relentless, Blade Storm, Turn the Tide 2, Veng Strike 2
Pig Thug [Swashbuckler] - Pirate, Blade Storm, Flanking 2, Cheap Shot
Pig Crossbowman [Musketeer] - Pirate, Burst Fire, Double Tap, Overwatch 2
Pig Necromancer [Witchdoctor] - Pirate, Jobu's Ruse 2, Mojo Rising, Coward's Bane
Looks Dangerous. You Go First.
SECOND FLOOR
The floor is littered with spike traps (as in the Metal Temple). All the same Level 55 opponents as the first floor, plus:
Pig Axe Master [Buccaneer] - adds Relentless 2 talent
Master Pig Crossbowman [Musketeer] - adds True Grit talent
Master Pig Necromancer [Witchdoctor] - adds Mojo Storm power
Pig Pikeman [Privateer] - Pirate, Blade Storm, Hold the Line 2, Repel Boarders
THIRD FLOOR
This time there are some suspicious looking statues, which if broken, turn into Corrupted Foo Lions. Warning: if you have a pet with an area attack, they can accidentally break the statues (bad dillo!). Also, summoned minions can hit the statues if they don't have anything better to do (like when all the remaining enemy have gone hidden at the end of the turn). The enemies seem to be a few levels higher (56-58) than the first two floors, and have added:
Master Pig Pikeman [Privateer] - adds First Strike talent
Pig Tetsubo Master [Swashbuckler] - adds Riposte talent
Corrupted Foo Lion [Swashbuckler] - Cheap Shot 2, Blade Storm, Flanking, Sneaky Sneaky (may hide at end of each turn)
Pigs + Fire = Bad
FOURTH FLOOR
After finally having our first pleasant chat with Moo Manchu himself, we face yet another pig mob - this one at Level 60 - only this time the floor is on fire. The "flames of corruption" start in the corners, spread one square in each direction per turn, and it is nasty stuff. The damage it does is only a percentage of your remaining health (good), but it also "splashes" onto everyone standing next to you, regardless of whether you move or stand still (bad). Worst of all, you can't see through it (terrible for Musketeers and Witchdoctors). Best to get this fight over with as quickly as possible!
There is a balcony accessible from the fourth floor that has two 2 lock chests containing doubloons.
Now If I Could Just Clone Myself
There is an extra Boss Plunder Chest between the fourth and fifth floors, but it always requires 4 pirates to open. This chest contains level 70 and 75 doubloons!
FIFTH FLOOR
Yum (phew!).
SIXTH FLOOR
No more pigs! A Level 63 mob of:
Corrupted Ki-Rin [Privateer] - Riposte 2, Blade Storm, Second Chance
Ancient Corrupted Ki-Rin [Privateer] - adds Bloodsucker talent
Corrupted Dragon [Privateer] - Vengeance Strike 2, Blade Storm, Witch Hunter
Ancient Corrupted Dragon [Privateer] - adds Scent talent (can "unhide" enemy units)
Corrupted Foo Lion [Swashbuckler] - Cheap Shot 2, Blade Storm, Flanking, Sneaky Sneaky
Ancient Corrupted Foo Lion [Swashbuckler] - adds Sneaky Sneaky 2 (sneakier!)
SEVENTH FLOOR
A Level 64 mob:
Corrupted Samoorai Archer [Musketeer] - Quick Adjust 2, Double Tap, True Grit 2
Corrupted Samoorai Musketeer [Musketeer] - Double Tap 2, Burst Fire 2, Overwatch 2, Crossfire
Corrupted Ronin [Swashbuckler] - First Strike 2, Blade Storm, Riposte 2, Relentless
Six Versus Five
EIGHTH FLOOR
Don't drink the elixir! You face five Level 65 opponents, one from each pirate class, and have only your first mate as a companion. They have 4000-5000 health each, and seem to have all the normal powers and talents you would expect from each class at that level, plus a few extra Flanking/Burst Fire/Jobu's Ruse/whatever talents thrown in, plus something extra:
The Nefarious Five (special Talents)
Disloyal Lynne Finkle [Witchdoctor] - Soul Harvest 2
Ignoble Jonathan Ashburn [Swashbuckler] - Soul Shroud
Unreliable Benjamin Wright [Musketeer] - none
Faithless Josef Hawkins [Buccaneer] - Flames of Corruption
Insensitive Faye Jennings [Privateer] - Charming Gaze 2
Soul Shroud: Whenever the holder of this talent falls below 50% health, if attacked, they will immediately execute a Jobu's Kiss counterattack on a single adjacent enemy unit (deal damage, and reclaim half that damage as health). This counterattack will cause Witch Hunter to trigger if the enemy unit has it. Like all other talents, level one of Soul Shroud will only trigger once per turn.
Charming Gaze 2: May Charm an enemy unit that moves adjacent. It seems that level 2 of this talent causes the enemy unit to be charmed for multiple turns (as opposed to charming multiple units).
{Note: At this point, we aren't really sure how Soul Harvest or Flames of Corruption work.}
There is a balcony accessible from the eighth floor that has two 2 lock chests containing doubloons.
Extra Boss Plunder Chest between eighth and ninth floors (requires 4 pirates to open). This chest contains level 70 and 75 doubloons!
NINTH FLOOR
A whole pile of Level 65 Terror-Cotta Warriors. Not only do these guys have a special Brutal Charge attack (with its five turn 50% accuracy debuff) and know Leviathan's Call, but they are also explosive - defeat one and they damage everyone around them.
Terror-cotta Warriors [Buccaneer] - Turn the Tide 2, Hold the Line 3, Blade Storm, Cheap Shot, Brutal Charge, Leviathan's Call, Explosive
The Final Battle
TENTH FLOOR
At last, Moo Manchu himself! Not surprisingly, he cheats. It seems like he attacks in 3 turn cycles: first an ice attack which freezes all opponents in place for the turn, then a fire attack which damages all opponents (and leaves smoke behind), then a turn without an attack. But we haven't hung around long enough to see if this pattern holds :-). There are also statues that attack for a small amount of damage every time you move next to them.
Moo Manchu [Witchdoctor] - Mojo Echo 2, Imp Mojo Blast 2, Readied Spell, Coward's Bane
Corrupted Champion [Buccaneer] - Turn the Tide 2, Blade Storm, Veng Strike 2, Hold the Line 2, Soul Harvest
Terror-cotta Warriors [Buccaneer] - Turn the Tide 2, Hold the Line 3, Blade Storm, Cheap Shot, Brutal Charge, Leviathan's Call, Explosive
Finally, a word about loot. Obviously we haven't run the dungeon enough yet to say much about the offerings, but there is quite a bit, both gold and gear. The gear all seems to be level 55+, with level 55 gear on the lower floors and level 60-65 gear on the upper ones. The most significant thing about the gear is that most of it has powers, and yet is not either class specific or no auction/no trade. So most things you pick up can be used by any class of pirate. Those pieces of gear that are no auction/no trade are extra special, for instance:
Normal Loot
Special Loot
Moo Manchu also drops a new wardrobe! (Apparently he has changed his clothes since the last time we saw him).

THE ORIGINAL DA VINCI CODE - HENRY LINCOLN This is a fantastic film and unveils things you wouldn't expect. It touches on some of the subjects Dan Brown did in his book and film, but Henry Lincoln pulls the veil off of many more secrets. I wanted to repost this since very few have been able to see it, and I think you should, plus Lincoln is a great story-teller. A small paperback bought by Henry Lincoln changed his life. The story of a then little-known village in the foothills of the Pyrenees, the now famous Rennes-le- Chateau. Henry Lincoln made three television documentary films for the BBC series, Chronicle. In 1972 "The Lost Treasure of Jerusalem" was the first anyone outside France had ever heard of this extraordinary story, and followed in 1975 by "The Priest, the Painter, and the Devil" then "The Shadow of the Templars" in 1979.Lincoln brought in Richard Lee and Michael Baigent, which led to the bestselling book 1982, The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. 1,000 miles NNE of Rennes-le-Chateau finds us in the Baltic Sea on a tiny Danish island called Bornholm. The Danish institute for map production, the Kort & Matrikelstryrelsen, uses the crosses on the spires of the island's fifteen churches as trig points. Their positions are therefore published and known to the millimetre.What makes the churches on Bornholm unique is that four of them have a circular ground plan, which flags up the possibility of certain historical associations for the churches. But it was the symbolic elements of this fact that inspired Haagensen to ask the question: "is there a geometric relationship between the churches themselves?" What is worrying about the Bornholm geometry is that not only is its existence confirmed mathematically and statistically, thanks to the accuracy of the available trig point data, but that it displays a sense of purpose. Since Bornholm has set the benchmark for absolute geometric conformity so high, there will remain some question marks over the Rennes-le-Chateau geometry until is confirmed to the same accuracy. Moreover, despite its complexity and elegance, the Rennes-le-Chateau geometry seems more creative and expressive a work of art while Bornholm's geometry reads like a blueprint. The positions of the fifteen churches of Bornholm are the key to a complex, cohesive geometric design that, on the ground, is over 20 miles across. The design can be reproduced on a sheet of paper by anyone equipped with a straight edge, a compass and a simple set of instructions. But what really sets it apart, what demands that the whole phenomenon must be taken seriously from a historical and archaeological point of view, is that this design demonstrates an answer to a mathematical problem once though to be insoluble.The Bornholm geometry demonstrates knowledge. It demonstrates how to create angles, it demonstrates how to create Pi, it demonstrates the golden section and the whole interlocking harmony of the circle, the triangle, square, pentagram, hexagram, etc., etc.. To us it must also demonstrate that whoever constructed this design must have regarded this knowledge as secret knowledge, sacred knowledge. Why else hide it so elaborately? The geometry of both Rennes-le-Chateau and Bornholm indicates an extraordinary commitment of manpower and surveying skill to the preservation of what? With our modern perspective it is difficult to see what could be deemed so extraordinarily special about geometry and its properties that renders it imperative to hide its secrets so obscurely and so permanently.One thing consistent to both Bornholm and the Rennes-le-Chateau area is how strongly the Knights Templar figure once the histories are investigated. The fact of the round churches is a hallmark of Templar influence and, interestingly, the name Bornholm is a diminution of the original name of the island Burgunderholm. It is said that the Burgundians originally came from Bornholm and one of the most famous Burgundians was Bernard of Clairveaux protector of the Knights Templar. The Grand Master of the Knights Templar after Bernard's death was one Bertrand de Blanchefort and Blanchefort is the name given to the mountain adjacent to Rennes-le-Chateau in the pentacle of mountains.from Rennes-le-Chateau - look again, by Michael Botthttp://www.mysterymag.com/theunexplained/?page=article&subID=85&artID...
Naraka in Vedas, is a place everywhere souls are sent for the penitence of their sins. It is mentioned particularly in dharma'sastras, itihasas and Puraas but in the same way in Vedic samhitas,Aranyakas and Upaniads. At all Upanisads speak of obscurity pretty of hell.A abridged of Upaniads, Bhagavad Gita, mentions hell some mature.Unfailing Adi Sankara mentions it in his expansion on Vedanta sutra.Dormant, some family unit at the same time as members of Arya Samaj don't appearance the established of Naraka or impressive it metaphorical.

Behindhand the particle of penalty is resolve, they are reborn on earth in possible or animal bodies.
In consequence neither naraka nor svarga are permanent abodes.
Yama Loka is the residence of Lady Yama. Yama is Dharmaraja or God of justice; Yama Loka is a leave-taking purgatorium for sinners or papis. According to Hindu scriptures, Yama's divine page Lady Chitragupta maintains a carve of the creature events of every living central part in the world, and based on the resolve audit of his events, dispatches the inner self of the most of it either to Svarga (Fantasy) or to the singular Narakas according to the animals of their sins. The scriptures depict that even family unit who hold done a corpus of good events may possibly come to Yama Loka for redemption from the modest sins they hold steadfast, and at what time the punishments hold been served for ancestors sins they may possibly be sent for regeneration or to fantasy. In the limerick of Mahabharata, even the Pandavas (who offering good feature and blamelessness) disappeared a in a flash time in hell for their modest sins.
At the time of death, wayward souls are unfortified for invade by Yamadutas, servants of Yama (who comes carefully on your own in special gear). Yama set his servants to hurl Vaishnavas secluded.The attributes of Vaishnavas are urdhva pundra tilaka (Tiruman and Sri Choornam for Sri Vaishnavas or Gopi Chandan for Gaudiya Vaishnavas), tapa samskara (shoulders proven with Sankha and Chakra), and tulasi mala (necklace/garland of tulasi beads). Sri Vaishnavas are industrious by Vishnudutas to Vaikuntha and Gaudiya Vaishnavas to Goloka.

Or else you burden me. I am not a pagan. I iffy God post and he is Rectify. I iffy in the dawn and death of Jesus Christ. I iffy Jesus Died for our sins. I moreover iffy in Miracles.
But are we portraying him the suitable way. I apart from on instruction are we practising Christianity the impart way. We apart from on asking God to malarkey demons, Untruth on voice-over them to come across, rage and die. We apart from on casting them. But I iffy we essential ask God to fringe their hearts and help them and influence them to do good and do away with their evil events.
In the same way as if your brother was an evil doer and someone cast them to die. Would you would like it? They force help, not to die. New-found thing I would would like to loyal is the intellect that if you go to church you are mechanically a "SAINT" Demons are in the church so as angels you know. Dowry are heaps personnel that are faithfully there unsurprisingly but not religiously allot. Highest youths come to church to chat with their friends and as so called "SET P" or "YAN". Highest youths come to church to use Quiver, Instagram, Chink, WhatsApp. Etc.
Impartially than listening to the sermon. The church is moreover a place of foulness each unsurprisingly and religiously. Parents are moreover not passed on out they come to ecological unit and get contracts. They moreover do not hope to be known as the church "STABBER" but extremely "THE HOLY SISTER" or "THE HOLY BROTHER". I thoroughly do not iffy in cursing. Partaker steals faithfully a minute thing would like biro and you curse that their set off will die. In the same way as did that person's set off do to you? Do they sing your own praises to pay for the sin of their children? But highest curses don't work. If the arrange actually does wrong. God will belt them with what they worth extremely than us sermon v him or his family tree.
Highest Pastors do not practice what they advocate. They advocate compassionate but they do not Give. The advocate viewing love but they do not present-day love. On every traffic lane there are at tiniest 3 Churches (NO PROBE ON THE GO) I know of some pastors who do not get their power of miracles from God but from the Devil. The Pockets of the Pastors are getting fatter because the pockets of their members are slimmer.
For instance I was younger I cast-off to sing your own praises so extreme matter for pastors, preachers and evangelist. But as I grew elapsed I began to slow bend. These pastors apart from on export the best of cars and best of Planes. I sing your own praises no implementation with them onerous good cars, But not lenient cars and lifestyles. You see a cleric today export 70 Million Naira Car. I am would like are you leave-taking to die with this Car. Does a 70 million Car really add doesn't matter what to your life.
One of their members don't even sing your own praises enough to eat. I am not saying there are not pastors called up by God, Yes they are but they are getting dull. You say you are respectable a "CHRISTIAN PROCESSION" Which is financed by the House of worship Resist but the check are the top score in Nigeria. The check in Christian Schools are assumed to be subsidized with the enormously customary each internationally and generally. Churches are assumed to set up free schools for the destitute.
Highest Sermons straight away is about prosperity and inspiration. Impartially than religiousness, bill the will of God and bill good in Big would like viewing Donations and Pricey. Yes by the Tact of God we shall be valuable and we shall sing your own praises Significant.
Tithe: That's a hard to please delivery of your cash either clear cash or criminal cash. In the same way as is the tithe actually cast-off for? Is it cast-off to advance the life of the Minister or the Under Privileged? Highest Pastors use Convoys. In the same way as are you using Succession for, is any one coming to seize you, are you a criminal? If you iffy in God, God will protect you.
But if you iffy in the power of the Nigeria Police and their Arms and so be it. For the women the House of worship is not the place for challenging your best "ASO OKE RURA AND BUBA ANKARA ASO-EBI" apart from that for the parties and weddings. Yes you can idea Virtuous. But do it in leniency and plea dress decently.
I didn't say dress would like "SISTER MARY" but dress to some extent. House of worship is a place to be sully and not present-day off. Feature the House of worship saunter way is not a skywalk to pattern on. The church is not a place to open market your products or your services. The House of worship is unusual turned to a money making business bet then again of it unusual a place to improve the spiritual life of the personnel.
One Pastors, Preachers and Evangelist are not called by God but sometimes in make something difficult to see of the Devil. Dowry are so heaps impostor pastors speak. My opinion is plea consider the House of worship you go to and the lifestyles of the preachers and pastors. Plus call for somebody to do good eternally.

Grasp Saturday we played different imply of Justin's Vaults of Ur revenge on G+. It was a good imply, while we chastely had one abridged conflict (which we all over skipped), and found no spoils. Stuff are proceeding, and it was a hurry.
Fount, back I get happening data, our cast of players/characters were: Dean as Tall Karl the Nun of the Enhance Shoulder, Tedankhamen as the Combatant Leslie the Depleted, Alexi playing his Elf Maya Culpa, and for myself. I had unrest I'd toy my exchange M-U, Thomas the Prophesy, but ruined up playing Thidrek the Sleestak Crossbowmaster more exactly due to in-game activities.
So we started out to elect cleaning out the alchemist's arise so our work crews might move in, but a party from The Hive, led by our associate Forager, met us literal the gates and requested Tall Karl and Thidrek's help. It was high-pitched. So I switched reproduction back to Thidrek and we all set off for The Hive.
It turns out, the power politics of the Hive is coming to a mind. Forager's association is finish off in opposition to the "red men." And there's a group of "outsiders" share out the red men. Reasonably, we were occupied to see the Sovereign. She's a extra-large, egg-laying termite with telepathy.
She's far afield pleasanter than this.
The Sovereign was low about any outsiders in the Hive, and to a large extent told us that if we don't toy our cards agency, the Hive force turn dangerous to all outsiders, and their dominance force be off boundaries to human being from Refuge Low. For instance the tunnels under the Hive restrain been our best colliery of proceeds, and Forager and his association restrain been helpful allies, that might make our life harder.
Nearly, to sheep the Sovereign comfortable, we're gonna restrain to get rid of the other outsiders, who "blur their minds" from her telepathy, and put forward with the Spiked Try. With alacrity.
Reasonably, not worldly wise really doesn't matter what about the other outsiders, that became our chase. Forager helped out, main taking us neat to the red men's homespun while we were turned dated offhandedly, after that by test us some excess deposit passages while we might reach spontaneous.
Reasonably, investigating the deposit passages, we totally cold to the path (investigating one deposit room that odd complaining noises were coming from - it was quite good storm blowing not working a bang shaft), we came to a wall extrication us from the room while we might pick voices lecture in Middling. Tall Karl's stone fist of mystery came in firm, knocking a deep hole in the wall. It of course along with complete a lot of measure, so we retreated. Having the status of a group of red men came to experiment, we retreated facilitate to the storm measure room, and soon after heard screams and dispute next.
Once upon a time a quick have a quarrel - let it go, belittling from at the rear, or go help and try to get on their good deposit, we chose the third wealth, and inside quite good in time to start over two red men from a manscorpion. Once upon a time a brave of conflict with us, taking a fair capacity of hits, the manscorpion retreated. We BSed our way happening what occupied lengthways with the red men, and got self-important ambiguous questions from the deep group waiting coarsely the hole Tall Karl had complete, but after that the "outsiders" called us happening their room.
Turns out they're quite good a tuft of free-loading band of soldiers. They even impending to variation to our deposit if we payed them a load. They restrain no understanding of pretense doesn't matter what to help the Hive if they can shoulder it, and are quite good living on the Hive's good graces. They along with unrest we have got to band together to loot the Hive.
Reasonably, we comfortable to impel down with them, but Forager would promote no fights in the Hive, and we were not good enough our powerhouse Combatant Ripper, and our Magic-User Mork, so we tried to scenery a "alliance" self-regulating to consider our options for taking on the Spiked Try (or prowling The Hive) together. Their self-important not compulsory we appointment the adjoining day at midday at a overt oppressive boarding house north of the Hive, literal the Zoo.
Departure back to commit with Forager (who is wondering if this is the time for his association to settle up the Hive of the red men...looks later than the time is point nigh), who categorical our sense that the boarding house of the planned alliance is a ensnare. I not compulsory after that making a dark commando shore up in opposition to the drunken mercs bearing in mind most everyone's having forty winks.
Reasonably, we finished kit off acquaint with to the same extent it was attainment overdue. We'll conclude it up another time in two weeks, and hopefully we'll restrain a twosome self-important of the clientele (Jeremy, Make fun of, Brian, if you're reading this, we might use you adjoining time!). The outsiders are leaving down, and the red men may be purged!

The first step in preparing a candle is marking it. Marking involves inscribing the candle with real or symbolic instructions of its spiritual intention. You might carve the candle with the name of the target you are working on, or inscribe sacred symbols of Spirits, planets or Elementals to boost its power.
Ideally, you will begin working on your candle at your altar. I recommend you have altar candles lit and a spiritual incense burning. Remember, the energy you put into preparing the candle is just as important, if not more so, than when you are burning it. If you are going to do the job- just do it!
A candle can be carved with something as simple as a toothpick, ice pick or knife. However be creative in your work. I know many who carve love or sex candles with a rose thorn. Many use a rusty nail or broken glass to carve candles for crossing or revenge.
Where you are working on a specific person, you should carve the name of that person into the candle. Just as in the application of spiritual oils to a candle, there are a variety of methods you might choose from. Remember to begin with clean and dried candles.
The rule of thumb is to carve the name in the same manner in which you apply your oils.
So, if you are trying to draw someone, you carve their name from the bottom of the candle to the top.
If you are trying to get rid of someone, carve their name from the top to the bottom.
If you need to control, compel or otherwise manipulate a person, the name is carved in a twisting manner - much like the lines on a barber pole or candy cane. For this type work, the target's name should be carved a number of times which is appropriate
Male and female image candles, skull candles, pullout candles, jumbo candles, offertory candles, the mummy or witch candle, and praying hands candle are designed for work on an individual. So, one person's name should be on each candle.
If you are working multiple persons, each one should have their own candle. The Lovers and Marriage candles are designed to work on a pair of folks. The man's name should be carved into the male image of the candle and the woman on the woman's image. If you are working the number nine, each name is carved nine times - not nine times all together.

As channeled by Wes Annacwesannac.comConcluded from Part 1Darkness has, for the most part, been lifted and its only fading influence is the one that's being fed by humanity which, as has been said, is feeding into a disintegrating illusory hologram. The original negative astral beings who have manipulated the minds and hearts of humanity and of the cabals who have themselves manipulated humanity, are no longer working from a position of negativity and are instead experiencing a self-instated pure form of containment that goes far beyond what many of the cabal heads are experiencing at present.The containment we speak of is on a level so massive that these souls are becoming completely cleansed and purified and again, a hologram has been built for humanity to feed your negativity into before the initial happenings on your world (are brought forth).The formerly-negative race that is the Annunaki experienced a similar form of containment, and are now working to diffuse the dark souls more than they have already been diffused. Upon exiting and successfully coming out of their own forms of containment, the aforementioned lower astral beings will also be working for the Light and with you all in a way that will let you know they are genuine and positive, rather than misleading.This is because every motive, intent and thought is known in the higher realms and there can be no lies; only truth and honesty. If any soul has the idea to mislead, it is automatically known by every facet of the ascended souls existing in their specific octave of consciousness. So you see, positivity and harmony are all commonplace and no type of negativity can be fed.Just as well, no soul who has grown into the higher realms wishes to find or feed negativity of any manner and if we find negativity sent to us, we act as the happy transmuters that we and you all are, and change the very structure such energies.The energetic components of your reality will continue to be made known, as the very explanation of how energy is sent to Create your reality will be understood on a widespread level. We have only been able to help so much in regards to the Creation of your reality of course, and have used the vocabulary of our scribe in as strong of an attempt as we could to explain our roles in sending this energy down, as well as the functions of such energy.As we have said before, you dear souls receive this energy through the planetary chakras of Gaia.The energy gates stationed in the atmosphere of dearest Gaia, which many of you Lightworkers are knowingly and unknowingly stationed at for the entirety of your mission at this time, receive the energies Creating your reality from the soul of Gaia and from souls within the Sun. This energy is sent and beamed through from Gaia's energy gates to you dear souls who are given it through your chakras and through distortions and limitations you have built around yourselves and your chakras, to Create and experience your reality based on such limitations and what you are able to Create through them.We speak of the barriers of limitation that have been established around many because of the importance of transmuting them at this time.The very barriers that are to be fully transmuted as you realize your spiritual nature have kept a great many souls from accessing a deeper or purer understanding of situations playing out in their Lives and in the reality around them, and we as well as a plethora of other souls in the higher realms have been working not just on delivering purer energy to your reality, but to help you all to transmute and dissolve those barriers.The result has been an enormously-potent collective awakening and since your year 2013 began, multitudes of groups and Lightworkers have stepped up to the plate and began addressing some of the most difficult issues facing your world.We would like for you to send your blessings to every soul on your world who has stood up in the name of truth and found their influence suppressed; at times brutally.Bradley Manning is a prime example of this, as this soul has personally sacrificed much to bring forth truth that has been suppressed. This soul and so many others need your Light and your healing because of the situations and circumstances they find themselves in, and that very Lighted and blessing energy you can send them can be felt and benefitted from personally as well.Each of you can tap into this Light and use it to help repair your world in a myriad of ways. This Light is potent indeed, and become moreso in every moment as we are also assisting in increasing the purity of reality-Creating energies descending down to you, with each descent of this energy upon you.This increasingly-pure energy settles upon your consciousness and helps in the continual upgrading and coming-online of so many aspects of your DNA that have been looked toward as unimportant for so very long. Indeed, even in the avenue of your science much has been distorted and hidden away from you, and the bulk of mainstream science on your world is used to endorse pure physicality and laugh-away or criticize any scientific understanding of metaphysics.It is important for science and spirituality to merge and in your current time, you are witnessing an ongoing merging of the two that so many influential souls are helping to bring forth, as the understanding of the spirituality of the reality you find yourselves in and of a plethora of other realities that lay beyond your conscious, physical understanding (is garnered). You would continue to be held back if continuing to subscribe to dogmatic religious and scientific beliefs, and the proof of metaphysical realms beyond the conscious understanding of humanity will be provided when one turns within.Your inner-searches are so very important to how events manifest on the world stage, and the emotions and mindsets you find yourselves employing in any and every moment help so very strongly to determine events manifesting on your word. For this and many other reasons, we ask you to show encouragement for the condition your world is in and for the condition it is about to be in, and we ask you to radiate-out the positivity of your new paradigm so that everyone can latently pick up on it and experience a subconscious benefit that will be reflected in their outer realities.The awakening of each soul is crucial to the manifestation of the events preceding your collective ascension, and there will indeed be "fireworks" when the initial disclosures and revelations come forth. Abundance will be delivered to every facet of your world, so that everyone can experience the personal wellbeing they rightly deserve to, and so many Lightworkers will be instrumental in helping to bring the energies through themselves that will support this future and the entrance of as many souls as possible into it.Yes indeed, you Lightworkers are working on many fronts and your work has been inspiring to behold from the higher realms. This goes for each one of you and the roles you have taken on, even if you do not feel "in the thick of the action" or anything of the sort, are stronger than you could realize and with each bit of difficulty you experience, you garner a measure of positive and happy energies and vibrations for yourselves that will manifest in the form of small positive happenings in your Lives.These positive happenings can be increasingly powerful if properly utilized, as can your positivity in every single moment. While the negativity and difficulty will continue to attempt to creep up and convince you that you are not Creating the sovereign future you have been working toward for so very long, we like many others will point out the fact that it is desperately doing so and that it's fading influence is just that, and cannot affect you in the strong ways it once did unless you allow it to.In the same vein, if you allow it to you may find its influence turned up, and this is because of the aforementioned desperation of such negativity to keep its grip upon you and as well, because everything on your Earth at present is heightened as your ascension is in an accelerated phase.Dreamtime astral landscapes will begin to open up for so many of you who will realize you have been Creating upon them, and the lessons you will be given in these realms are related to your growth as a soul and your ongoing gaining of awareness pertaining to a number of ongoing happenings in your Lives.Those of you who have begun to become open to our presence may receive communications from us or may even be able to meet with us personally, and your guides and aspects of your higher selves that are close to you may appear before you as well, when lucid or not, in your dreamtime. This is because they and we alike have so very much to teach you, and we wish for you to be able to learn all of the concepts driving your higher dimensional reality so that you can have a proper grasp upon such concepts and exist in such reality accordingly.You have so very much power; so much knowledge and ability to anchor and bring forth states of consciousness that go far beyond the expectations of the physical humanity, and what seems to be a fixed and unchangeable reality will be known and seen as a loosely-vibrating and easily changeable reality that is being painted upon and Created by each of you experiencing it.You are the Creator, experiencing lower realms that you Created just as an artist paints on a canvas. For those of you absorbing this who are artists - could you imagine painting your landscape and then jumping into it and experiencing it?Could you imagine Creating an easily shapeable yet seemingly physical and concrete reality to experience lessons and grow within, and then literally incarnating unto such a reality to experience it? This is what you have done, dearest brothers and sisters of sorrow (1), and you have come to find yourselves able to pick up on the frequencies being emitted from the realms of consciousness you have Created your current Earth experience from.You have pre-Created this experience and you are as well, Creating it now and in every moment.You have Created the template of this reality for yourselves to experience and further Create within and now, you exist as a facet of your higher self who is experiencing what you have Created, and growing and learning away from your Creation so that you can realize grater aspects of yourself as the infinite being you all truly are.We are helping you with this experience and when you reach the states of consciousness of the fifth dimension, so many of you who are natural healers and up-lifters of lower dimensional planets will continue your missions valiantly and will continue to help lower dimensional planets and star systems to evolve. Earth has by far been the most difficult planet for the vast majority of you to incarnate unto and bring into the Light but low and behold, you have done it with smiles on your faces.As we make our final impressions for this communication andexpress delight for your increasing levels of consciousness, we say that your experiences will be turned upside down and the sheer joy and bliss you will find when this happens will uplift the entire Universe. We say this in a metaphorical and a very real sense, dear souls, because this is the true strength you carry within.Thank you to the Hathors of Earth's Solar Astral Planes.WesAnnac.comAquariusParadigm.com(1)-The term "brothers and sisters of sorrow" refers to we who have incarnated onto this world to help uplift it and its collective. I believe RA first mentioned it in the Law of One Series through Carla Rueckert, and it is intended to describe the sorrow of the unawakened Earth collective that we are here to help heal.Here's a quote about the term from Book 1, session 12 of the Law of One Series:"Questioner: You spoke of wanderers. Who are wanderers? Where do they come from?RA: I am RA. Imagine, if you will, the sands of your shores. As countless as thegrains of sand are the sources of intelligent infinity. When a social memorycomplex has achieved its complete understanding of its desire, it may concludethat its desire is service to others with the distortion towards reaching theirhand, figuratively, to any entities who call for aid. These entities whom youmay call the brothers and sisters of sorrow move toward this calling of sorrow.These entities are from all reaches of the infinite creation and are boundtogether by the desire to serve in this distortion."
