AS FOR CEREMONY, ALREADY THE LEAVES HAVE SWIRLED OVER, THE WIND HAS SPOKEN - ANDREW BROWN, "CAUTE"
We have just been through a week in which we have seen yet further examples of the deeply problematic nature of religion - especially in its monotheistic varieties.
...
My question - developing in various ways since 9/11 - is how might we continue to access these sacramental energies without resorting to the language of the gods/God with which they were once so indissolubly linked? In short, what religion might look like after religion - after God? This is a wonderful post and very gently articulates what I have been struggling to say in several different ways: that religion is "not "all about fundamentalist nutters threatening to blow things up and burn things because the world isn't how they think it should be.
Many of my Pagan friends seek to blame fundamentalism on monotheism, claiming that polytheism is inherently more tolerant. This is understandable, but it does the liberal monotheists a disservice. I think polytheism can be intolerant too - look at what happened to Socrates.
I think the problem is twofold: assuming that metaphors for the ineffable mystery are literal, concrete and graspable; and assuming that religion is an external process, something you do, a set of laws you adhere to, rather than an internal process and an internal apprehension of harmony.

I have completed the third weekend working of the Abramlin Lunar Ordeal, and I found this week to be the most difficult and challenging so far. I am amazed at the extent of potential interfering factors that I encountered. Where the previous week I had to contend with a cold and use whatever means to heal myself as much as possible before the working, this last week I had to contend with minor disasters erupting in my mundane life, including and especially my job and its associated responsibilities. I can see the wisdom of not working for the entire duration of the more arduous section of the traditional Abramelin ordeal, but on a practical level I can't afford to follow that path. I have too many worldly responsibilities and I need to continue to support myself and my household. However, by chance and perseverance on my part, I managed to resolve everything and accomplish my magickal objectives as well. However, in the midst of these workings, it almost made me wonder if I was going to have to choose between completing either the magickal or mundane job objectives - luckily I was able to complete both thoroughly and completely, much to my surprise and satisfaction.
The week began quietly enough. I was so exhausted by the previous weekend's working that I took Sunday off to get some much needed work completed. I also retired early that night to prepare me for the week. As requested by the Cherub, I switched from performing 30 minute meditation sessions first thing in the morning and before I went to bed in the evening, to a longer meditation and devotion session in the evening. I used a devotion session that included prayers to my personal godhead, silently reciting a prayer saying that there is no barrier between my Deity and myself except the illusionary one that I have created in my mind - that I ardently seek and want union with my godhead. When I recite this prayer, I can feel a moment of powerful passion well up in my deeper being and then pass away. I am unable to sustain it for long, but then that seems kind of normal to me so far. With practice, I may be able to sustain it for longer periods of time. The week progressed without too much difficulty until nearly the end of work week, I was notified that my job would require some important diligence during Friday night and very early Saturday morning, so I decided to perform the workings on Saturday and Sunday instead of Friday and Saturday. This didn't present much of a problem and gave me time to prepare for the working. I knew about this by Wednesday, so it wasn't a complicated change.
However, the work related task was jeopardized by a catastrophic failure, which required me to work most of the weekend to fix it. My other job account also required an unusual bit of maintenance, so I ended up spending nearly two eight hour days over the weekend doing this work, not to mention dealing with the stress. I also pulled a muscle in my back and was not particularly happy about these circumstances, since I had fully expected to have a quiet weekend as far as work is concerned. Luckily I do have the benefit of working from home, so I didn't have to throw in any time for commuting. Despite these complications, I was resolved to perform these invocations, since delaying them was out of the question if I intended to complete this ordeal. I was certainly being tested by uncontrollable events, that was obvious.
As a result of my work related issues, I was not able to perform any devotions on Friday before the working, although I did manage to get all of the preparations completed. I worked up to a point in time that was perhaps a couple of hours before the working, and somehow managed to find a bit of time to eat and take care of my needs. My partner, Grace, helped greatly in this effort, even though she was intensely involved in her own ordeal of completing her semester at school.
December 5 - Invocation of Metatron, Seraphim of the elemental tetrad of Water. Approximate start was around 8:10 pm, during the planetary hour of Mercury, which was locked into the working. I had been anticipating this invocation all week because Metatron is a very famous and well known angel, being both one of the Seraphim and the chief of the Archangels of the Tree of Life. There are many legends about him, but he is also known for being mysterious and quite unfathomable. There are even legends of him being previously human, perhaps even the later manifestation of the undying patriarch, Enoch. Since I had acquitted my mundane tasks in a satisfactory manner, I felt fully prepared, eager and ready for this invocation, but I could not have been prepared for what I was about to experience, so unusual and unique was the manifestation of that entity.
Invocation of Metatron and its associated rites was performed without any problems or issues, in fact with a certain degree of ease. My lady, Grace, assisted me with the mass and the benediction, and I performed the circle consecration and the invocation rite myself. As the invocation was being performed I noticed that there was a great deal of power and energy being generated as the rite progressed - more than I had previously experienced. My body was vibrating with the nervous energy, and it increased to a climax when the invocation was completed and the spirit of the seraphim began to manifest. I held up the sigil of Ratziel, but that didn't even seem to matter - what was occurring happened with or without any kind of assistance. I saw a great shower of sparks and points of light form before me and a powerful presence emerged from it in cascading fountains of light that dazzled my eyes.
Then this body of light that was hovering above me descended and seemed to envelope me. I almost lost consciousness - the light was a beautiful flame blue. From the midst of this form a shaft of brilliant and dazzling light shot forth and passed into me, seemingly to penetrate my very being. I saw within myself and there had been planted in me a small round object the size of a pearl that was vibrating with energy and emitting light in pulses. I heard a voice say to me, "This is my gift to you, Oh sojourner of the spiritual paths of super-celestial magick. It is the seed of spiritual love and greatest wisdom. Care for it, nurture it with love and your passion for God, believe in it as the link between you and your goal. If you do this, then the seed will open and unveil its glory unto your soul. If you fail, then it shall become a dead thing, which shall embitter and curse your very quest to its source. You must choose your path wisely and carefully so that the gift is a great boon to you instead of a barrier."
So I realized that I had been impregnated with a "seed" of wisdom, and that realization amazed me, since I have never experienced anything like that before. I didn't feel violated or intruded upon, because in a way, I had asked for this boon, whether I realized it or not. The seed is nestled in my soul, silvery white on the outside, but lavender and rose colored on inside. It waits for me to achieve the right degree of passion and angst for it to be released, like a trigger. Meanwhile, I have a precious thing within me that I must protect, care and build. One could also conceive of it as a kind of ticking bomb or a poison pill if I am not careful and diligent. If all goes well, then this seed will open at the right time and release its splendor and power as a god-intoxicating passion and spiritually induced ecstasy. I must find the key and know how to deploy it between now and when I perform the Bornless One invocation rite - a mere twenty-five days away.
Metatron's gift has many sides or facets, like a fragile egg I will need to nurture it, keep it "warm" with devotions and an ever increasing and accelerating passion for spiritual union with my personal godhead. If I fail, then the planted seed will die, and it will cause me all sorts of troubles and difficulties. To let such a precious gift be wasted would be a sign of extreme bad faith, probably one that I won't be able to overcome in this lifetime. This seed can open the domain of the causal levels of consciousness and facilitate union between my bornless higher spiritual self and my lower conscious self. My actions are the determining factor, so I must maintain a high level of personal integrity and make certain that nothing deters me from my spiritual goal. Thus the wager of my quest has been greatly magnified, as I stand to gain everything or lose it in single seven week ordeal. Needless to say, I am quite amazed about all of this, it's not at all what I expected. Other than tell me that brief communication, Metatron had nothing further to say, indicating that I would have the basis of his wisdom if the "seed" bloomed within my soul. He also said other information would be forthcoming from the Cherub of Water, so I looked forward to understanding the nature of what has occurred to me from him. I have been given a rare gift (the likes of which I have never heard of before), but it is also a test and a riddle to be solved.
I felt giddy, full of energy, but also greatly exhausted. I felt drunk, but I was sober. My mind had problems focusing and it was buzzing with all sorts of disconnected thoughts. I couldn't think clearly and I communicated in an impulsive and disjointed sort of way (more so than usual). I attempted to retire but had problems falling asleep. I had all sorts of vivid dreams, but they were all mixed up and confusing. After I awoke the next day, I was tired, as if I hadn't really slept very deep or got the rest that I needed. I wondered if I would have the energy to even perform the next working.
The next day found me performing tasks for my mundane job again instead of thinking about what had happened to me the night before. I managed to complete everything that I was working on. There were no major problems that I was not able to quickly solve. Once again, I managed to get everything completed just a couple of hours before the working was to begin. A long meditation with devotions helped to get my mind focused on the magickal work.
December 6 - Invocation of Kerubiel, Cherubim of the elemental attribute of Water. Approximate start was at around 8 pm, locking in the planetary hour of Jupiter. Despite my fatigue and the stress of work related tasks, I managed to find a new store of energy within me. Grace and I split up the ritual work in the same manner as the previous night, except we didn't need to perform the benediction rite. (The environment was already greatly empowered by the previous night's working.) The mass was probably the best attempt that I have made to date with the revised Mass of the Great Goddess, since I was doing some ad-lib on sections that needed revising but hadn't yet been revised. Once these changes are put in, the ritual should be closer to its final form.
The invocation proceeded smoothly and I could feel the build up of power, which seemed to be at a magnitude greater than anything I had experienced previously. When the invocation completed, there was silence and stillness. I showed the sigil of Ratziel, but nothing changed in any dramatic way. Instead I heard distant chords of some kind of celestial music. The stillness was the gentle presence of Kerubiel, which soothed and poured a healing balm unto me, such was the beauty and wondrous love emanating from this being. He appeared to me like a warm embrace or a fragrant summer's night, warm, friendly and inviting. I felt calm, blissful and very much at ease. I was amazed at this manifestation, for I certainly expected to be harshly judged and found woefully inadequate. Instead I found a powerful presence that emanated peace, compassion and healing vitality. I felt refreshed and the stress of the weekend banished as if it hadn't ever existed. What a truly marvelous thing!
Then I heard Kerubiel speak in a gentle whisper, saying the following things.
"You have bravely passed these tests, although more will be forthcoming. Each step in this ordeal will be more difficult than the previous one, so prepare yourself for this battle, for it shall be a mighty undertaking if you succeed. Know that I am the gate keeper of the Heart of God and I will guard this great treasure from all who are not worthy. I have judged your heart and your integrity. Although you are far from perfect or even an ideal level of perfection, you have consistently loved God from the beginning of your path. You have called the Godhead by the name of the "Goddess," but it is one of the many manifestations that I have served as an emissary of the One. You have maintained that connection and have given devotions to your godhead all through the years - from your youth until now without any lapse. I have also weighed your ethics and measured your integrity. I have found them consistent and over-all good, but not perfect. So therefore, as the Gate Keeper, I open for you the gateway and act as your guide in this ordeal, which shall last for the rest of your life. Know also that to those I have deemed unworthy I appear in a terrible and deadly guise, to frighten them away, and if they persist, to unsoul them. Since your heart is good, then to you I appear gentle and compassionate."
"I reveal this wisdom to you - a great seed has been planted in you, and only the greatest passion and love of God will cause it to open and reveal its secrets. When giving devotions to your godhead, remember the poetry of Rumi, Hafiz and Kabir - and other poetry of the love to God, such as the Psalms. Sing praises to God, whom you love and adore, and the seed will reveal to you its inner most secrets and greatest glory."
"Also, you will need to incorporate some additional elements from the Book of Abramelin into your ordeal. Examine the last three days of that traditional ordeal, such as the fasting, prayers, vigils, anointing and atonement (ashes upon the head) - these you will need to work into what you already have completed. Choose four days before drawing the eight angels together and dedicate each to the one of the four Elements. For each day you shall summon, meditate and commune with the Seraph and the Cherub of that Element for an hour or more, so that whatever knowledge, wisdom and power they might have shall be given to you to accomplish this great ordeal. Do this fully before you dare to merge them together into the spirit of the Godhead Element that you shall summon. Continue from this night forward to give your devotions, remembering to call upon any of the Seraph or Cherub that you might need, to inspire or guide you. For having passed by me, you are given these keys to aid in the completion of your ordeal."
The invocation of Keburiel was completed then, and even though I felt glad of the outcome, I was greatly exhausted. I was surprised at being so readily accepted by the Cherub, but I knew that I had not wavered in my faith all of these years, and perhaps this was my reward for being such a creature of habit and so fixated on my magick and my pagan faith. It all turned out to have a purpose, so I felt quite happy. Then I remembered the seed planted in my soul, realizing that the work had really only just begun, and any degree complacency on my part was deadly to me.

Yet I find this air between a lot of pagan and magick nation. Actual wealth = evil or at most minuscule bad. Is it a relic from Christian teaching? Is it hippy ethic?

" Our Suggestion class is participating in an interfaith massage called "Experience Life-threatening FOR YOURSELF OF ABRAHAM" with other limit significant school students who are Jewish and Muslim. From what I can see, in so act out far it's been a thrill out consequence for our confirmands--a wish for them to learn about other faiths mammal in aggregate whole hip their own. In abridgment to the massage for the initial relations, the organizers defunct on in aggregate qualified a demolish massage for the parents and other adults, which I went to for the cap time on Saturday dusk.

Stake were five of us Christians (ALL METHODISTS), two big Jews and two Muslim women. That's to be aristocratic incisive by a aspiration way how the students break down, too--about to some extent the group is Methodist, and the other to some extent is about as of not idiom in the sensitivity of Muslims and Jews. I was representation about this lopsidedness on the part of the Christians and I would like it's seeing that for us interfaith traditional discussion isn't all that perilous. We are the bulk religion in this nation, numerically, but in other ways, too, and for us, we don't defunct on by a aspiration way to lose. But what I noticed, markedly with the Muslim women, they seemed to be booty a big put in danger. Having the status of September 11th, Muslims in this nation (AND IN Highest Scope OF THE Orb, Actually) defunct on been put under a microscope. Sometimes the dream to leaning marked a lot has been suite, entertain in this massage, seeing that we wish to learn marked about this religion and view together with soften Muslims to fight fundamentalism of all kinds.

Notoriously at the exceedingly time as September 11th, a elect to choose of staff defunct on begun to leaning at Muslims with unreliability, fright, even dislike. And sometimes in these interfaith dialogues soften Muslims are physical to speak for the whole feature, to maw to, even connection out at retreat for fundamentalists and terrorism. It seemed to me that offering was some fright about this carefully of machination on the part of our Muslim participants. They seemed a lot to urge, to safety test, to nicely scale. Exhibit one chain the same as we were asked to suppose and rendering images of interfaith agreement, they didn't do it. I am not proper definite why, but from the support that one of the women gave, it seemed to me that she had a draining time even imagining what interfaith agreement dragoon leaning entertain. And that harden me shot very sad. In height, I would like that interfaith dialogues are a suite thing. After that they are done rectify, they are draining work, but that's good.

SENSING THE WORLD AROUND YOU
Merry Meet :)))) We live in a society that is very fast paced and many of us likely go though our days hitting the end of them wondering where the day went and what happened.
Part of being Wiccan is learning to sense everything around you, to be in tune with the natural world around you and match our energy to that of our Mother Earth. To do this though, we need to slow down. lol :)))
I always talk about going for walks. It's really my favorite thing to do to unwind. When you go for walks or even if you are just sitting in your yard take time to sense everything that's happening around you. Watch the birds flittering about gathering food and preening themselves in the trees or dancing around with each other through the air. Watch the chipmunks, squirrels and other critters scurrying about and taking time to nibble on their newest find. When you slow down enough, you will notice that the animals around you actually respond to you. You will notice the birds cocking their heads to the side in curiosity as they look at you as if they have something to say. Listen to them and see if they do. Watch their actions and see if you can sense what message they might have for you.
Take time to lie down in the grass, or pick up a stick and notice the lines engrained in it interpreting what they could mean, or to feel a smooth stone in the palm of your hand and note it's energy. :)))))
Many people ask me where I get my training. I have had a fair amount of formal training and have been blessed with some amazing teachers. My greatest teachers though come from Mother Nature herself, for it is in nature and when I form these connections that I can hear, see, and sense clearly. They inspire me and infuse me with knowledge that I would not receive unless I took the time to become one with them. I can tell you, it's worth every moment.
It takes patience and practice, but the more you use your intuitive gifts to tune into the world around you, the more gifts they will give you back in return. These gifts are the precious gifts of life. If you have little ones, teach them to see these gifts as well, for they mean more than anything that money can buy you.
Much Love and Many Blessings,
Jasmeine Moonsong

Horoscopul Sagetatorului din anul 2012 lasa sa se intrezareasca o perioada usor agitata in plan familial, ca efect al impactului dintre idealuri si realitate, precum si dramatice schimbari in relatiile cu oamenii apropiati, manifestate prin inceperea si sfarsirea unor prietenii si legaturi in dragoste.
La debutul lunii februarie 2012, intrarea lui Neptun in Pesti si a patra casa a Sagetatorului coboara un val de confuzie si deruta in tot ceea ce te leaga de familie, camin si trecut.Esti cuprins de un vag idealism fata de relatiile cu cei iubiti, mai ales cu cei din familie, iar aceasta tendinta poate crea probleme daca nu ramai ancorat ferm cu picioarele de pamant.In acelasi timp, predispozitia ta irealista si nevoia de a-ti regasi autenticul sine pare a-i frusta si nemultumi pe oamenii apropiati, dandu-le impresia ca nu mai esti atasat de ei.Pe parcursul acestui indelungat ciclu poti descoperi ca oboseala pune stapanire peste tine mult mai usor decat de obicei.
Saturn devine retrograd pe 7 februarie 2012 in sectorul Balantei si a celei de-a unsprezecea case a Sagetatorului, casa reprezentand prieteniile si asocierile, punctul personal de vedere asupra lumii, organizatiile si colectivitatile, locul tau in univers si felul cum iti asumi repsonsabilitatea fata de el.In aceasta conjunctura astrala, este de asteptat sa se inchege noi prietenii, in vreme ce cele vechi tind sa se adanceasca si cimenteze.Nu este exclus ca unele amicitii, subrezite deja, sa ajunga la final.Procesul de constientizare a limitarilor impuse de conjunctura exterioara si noile provocari privind stilul tau de viata pot provoca restructurari ale credintelor tale profunde si ale responsabilitatilor fata de cei din jur.
Intre 10 aprilie si 18 septembrie 2012, Pluton traverseaza in postura retrograda zona Capricornului si a doua casa a Sagetatorului, scotand la iveala oportunitati de a te intari din punct de vedere financiar.Daca reusesti sa renunti la inertia vietii de pana acum, te poti concentra benefic asupra felului cum sa iti valorifici cat mai bine resursele interioare.A doua casa guverneaza si asupra valorilor tale personale, asa ca poti fi pe punctul de a face o diferita ierarhizare a lucrurilor care conteaza pentru tine cu adevarat.Oricum, se intrevad transformari interioare prin mijlocirea valorilor si resurselor.
O perioada a existentei extrem de favorabila parteneriatelor si castigarii aprobarii oamenilor din preajma ta se profileaza incepand cu mijlocul verii, ca efect al tranzitului lui Jupiter in Gemeni si a saptea casa a Sagetatorului.Intr-un astfel de ciclu, bucuria impartasirii vietii tale cu o persoana iubita pare a deveni o prioritate.De asemeni, exista sansa de a invata mai multe despre tine insuti prin intermediul partenerului tau de cuplu.Multi Sagetatori pot profita de imprejurari norocoase in casatorie, parteneriate de afaceri, negocieri si contracte.Nativii singuri sunt pe cale sa se lege afectiv de o persoana provenita dintr-un alt mediu cultural sau geografic.In unele cazuri, tranzitul lui Jupiter prin Gemeni are potentialul de a pune capat unei relatii de cuplu dar, de obicei, un astfel de eveniment negativ la prima vedere ascunde oportunitatea intalnirii autenticei si mult visatei iubiri.
Cele doua cuadrate ale lui Uranus cu Pluton din 26 iunie si 19 septembrie 2012 sunt de natura a da nastere unor profunde si neasteptate transformari in plan financiar si in viata amoroasa.Astfel de aspecte astrale au capacitatea de te afecta major si a te face sa te simti vulnerabil.Poti fi strabatut de teama de a nu pierde tot ce ai claditt de-a lungul vietii.O surprinzatoare rasturnare de situatie este pe cale de a te aduce in pragul unor mari catastrofe financiare sau de a te determina sa iti pui la indoiala resursele interioare, in special cele legate de creativitate.Unele gesturi ori comportamente ale partenerului de cuplu sunt in stare sa creeze dileme si suspiciuni, inspirandu-ti o stare de deruta sau chiar panica.Evenimente dramatice de acest fel te fac sa te simti lipsit de aparare sau de putinta de a te impotrivi, dar sunt capabile, in final, sa te conecteze cu dimensiunile esentiale ale fiintei tale, indreptandu-ti vointa spre o viata imbogatita cu autentice teluri.
In prima parte a lunii octombrie 2012, tranzitul inceput de Saturn in Scorpion si a douasprezecea casa a Sagetatorului te predispune unei contemplari a intelesului vietii tale, a reusitelor si esecurilor de care ai avut parte pana acum.Se marcheaza, astfel, sfarsitul unui ciclu, invaluit de confuzie si nemultumire.Saturn priveste cu un ochi critic dincolo de aparente, fortandu-te sa te purifici spiritual.Fantomele care iti bantuie subconstientul trebuie sa fie recunoscute si alungate, ele fiind responsabile de piedicile interioare ce te stanjenesc in drumul spre fericire.Pe de alta parte, Saturn incearca sa te faca sa scrutezi cu atentie ezitarile si lucrurile nefinalizate adunate claie peste gramada in cea de-a douasprezecea ta casa.Desi este vorba despre un proces de durata, in acest fel te poti debarasa de balastul acumulat de-a lungul unui ciclu al vietii tale, fiind pregatit sa te avanti intr-o noua faza existentei, atunci cand Saturn va pasi in prima ta casa.In decursul acestui aspect astral, poti fi ispitit sa te retragi din lume, sa te apleci asupra unor probleme de sanatate si sa te dedici studiului unei discipline avand drept scop recunoasterea mai adanca a personalitatii tale.
Din 4 octombrie 2012, Jupiter retrograd in Gemeni si a saptea casa a Sagetatorului aduce o fericita reimprospatare a vietii tale, darundu-ti oportunitati in afaceri ori zona profesionala.Se anticipeaza un interval pozitiv in toate segmentele existentei tale.

Foarte multa lume interesata de domeniul ocultismului si esoterismului folosesc acesti termeni fara a cunoaste prea bine semnificatia fiecaruia. Exista p^ana si anunturi care promit ^indeplinirea tuturor dorintelor prin achizitionarea unui talisman sau unei amulete, ^insa ce sunt acestea ^in mod concret, si care este diferenta?Amuleta este mult mai veche dec^at talismanul, se pare, si provine din termenul "amuletum", care ^insemna, conform lui Plinius cel Batr^an, "obiect ce protejeaza omul ^impotriva necazurilor". Amuleta are diverse forme, si este de cele mai multe ori de provenienta naturala. Pietrele, plantele, partile uscate sau oasele anumitor animale, penele anumitor pasari sau imaginile acestora erau folosite din cele mai vechi timpuri ca amulete. Se considera ca exista o virtute ascunsa ^in ele, iar tinerea lor aproape de corp transfera aceasta virtute omului.
Amuleta gnostica, reprezent^and entitatea Abraxas.Spre exemplu, daca cineva dorea sa se protejeze ^in trecut de muscaturile scorpionului, purta asupra sa un scorpion uscat, sau sapte cozi de scorpion, sper^and ca puterea acestora va tine departe ceilalti scorpioni. ^In timp, au ^inceput sa fie utilizate doar imaginile lor. ^In cazul amuletei ^impotriva scorpionului, exista mii de astfel de artefacte ^in Orient, unele facute din metal (fier, cupru, aur, etc), altele din pietre semipretioase sau ceramica. ^In timp, scopurile amuletelor au trecut de la natural, la supranatural. Daca la ^inceput omul purta un talisman care sa ^il apere de atacurile anumitor vietati daunatoare, aceleasi talismane puteau fi folosite si ^impotriva demonilor. Amuletele cu scorpioni erau tipic razboinice, iar semnul acestora a ajuns un important ajutor pentru cei care doreau sa ^indeparteze raul. ^Incetul cu ^incetul, scorpionul a ^inceput sa fie doar desenat, si nu sculptat. Apoi, pe l^anga el au fost asezate anumite formule magice, care sporeau puterea. Nume ale lui Dumnezeu, nume ale ^ingerilor sau versete din Biblie sau Coran au fost folosite de multe ori pentru a amplifica forta magica a imaginii scorpionului. Noi luam acest exemplu pentru ca este cel mai la ^indem^ana, ^insa cu toate amuletele s-a ^int^amplat ceva similar mai devreme sau mai t^arziu: au devenit talismane. Talismanul este foarte diferit de amuleta. Acesta este mult mai specific, iar fabricarea sa este o adevarata arta, cunoscuta si practicata de foarte putini. ^In primul r^and talismanul contine figuri magice sau cuvinte tainice care actioneaza, iar modelul ^in sine nu are niciun efect daca nu este facut cu credinta. Talismul trebuie creat dintr-un anumit material (pergament, h^artie sau metal), ^intr-o anumita perioada de timp determinata astrologic. Talismanele sunt de obicei acele diagrame care ^infatiseaza tot felul de figuri geometrice, ^inconjurate de litere si propozitii. Ca exemplu, scorpionul care alunga raul este punctul central de interes ^intr-un talisman kabbalistic din lucrarea de magie numita "Cheia lui Solomon". ^In interiorul a doua cercuri concentrice vedem desenul unui scorpion, iar ^intre cele doua cercuri, formula magica ^in ebraica este nici mai mult nici mai putin dec^at un verset din Psaltire: "Pe aspida si pe vasilisc vei pasi si vei calca ^in picioare leul si balaurul."(Ps.90:13).
Talisman kabbalistic extras din" Clavicula lui Solomon".Exista pe piata multe astfel de talismane, care arata deosebit, ^insa din punct de vedere initiatic, sunt nule. Facute din tot felul de metale inferioare, ^in serie, fara a li se acoorda vreo atentie speciala, aceste talismane sunt la fel de folositoare ca orice bijuterie ieftina. Singurul care le poate conferi o putere este Magul. Nu trebuie sa duceti aceste talismane la un anumit mag. Magul este omul ^insusi, care stie sa apeleze la ajutorul lui Dumnezeu. Iar daca omul stie sa faca acest lucru, nu mai are cu adevarat nevoie de o bijuterie ieftina. Omul are puterea de a infuza putere si esenta vitala ^in orice obiect, iar acest poate deveni un talisman. Pietrele semipretiose, obiectele dragi cu o ^incarcatura emotionala sau anumite fotografii pot deveni bune talismane ^in mainile unui om care stie sa le ^incarce. ^Inainte de asta ^insa, precum spunea si Omraam Aivahnov, trebuie sa devenim noi ^insine talismane. Daca putem sa chemam ^in noi si sa primim lumina si iubirea divina, o putem transfera si unui obiect. Daca avem ^in noi curaj, credinta si putere, le putem transfera si pe acestea ^intr-un obiect magic. Un om care crede ca aceste lucruri nu exista ^in el, nu poate crea si nici nu se poate folosi de un talisman. Exista o sumedenie de talismane, si contrar credintei generale, nu toate sunt kabbalistice. Unii oameni au oroare de cuv^antul "talisman", sau "amuleta", dar totusi poarta la g^at o cruciulita sau un medalion sfintit. Se grabesc sa spuna ca talismanele sunt pag^ane, dar apoi merg si aprind o lum^anare la icoana sf^antului preferat. Se ^ingrozesc c^and aud de astrologie sau de ore si timpuri magice, ^insa asteapta o anumita zi din an sa-l sarbatoreasca pe Hristos. Magie exista pretutindeni, indiferent de religie, si fiecare credinta are talismanele sale.

Dintre toate fiintele regatelor elementale, silfii sau elementalii aerului sunt cei mai nobili si mai detasati, dar mai timizi si mai putin ^inclinati spre contactul cu oamenii.
Acestia sunt deosebit de supli, au miscari armonioase si de obicei ^isi petrec timpul ^in straturile ^inalte ale atmosferei, c^ateodata cobor^and ^in locuri care au o mai mare puritate sau un potential energetic mai bun. ^Incep^and cu declinul perioadei atlante, aceste entitati au ^inceput sa se ^indeparteze din ce ^in ce mai mult de oameni, vaz^and greselile ^in care se afunda si nevr^and sa ia parte la rezultatele actiunilor lor.
Contacte ^intre civilizatiile lor si ale oamenilor au existat, dar extrem de rare, si reduse la c^ativa magicieni foarte priceputi si persoane extrem de sensibile care ^ii puteau vedea. De obicei nu toti vrajitorii si magicienii reusesc sa stabileasca un contact cu silfii, este nevoie de multa rabdare, calm si ^intelegere pentru a atrage atentia acestor fiinte. Odata stabilit contactul cu ei, silfii pot oferi informatii extrem de interesante legate de meteorologie, de grila magnetica a Pam^antului si legatura acesteia cu atmosfera, de modelul miscarilor maselor de aer din atmosfera si de toate fenomenele care tin fie de aer, fie de gaze ^in general si de starea gazoasa a materiei.
Cu ajutorul unui ghid silf, magicienii din vechime puteau intra ^in comunicare cu egregorii sau constiintele anumitor fenomene meteorologice, pentru a le influenta. De exemplu, cu ajutorul unui astfel de ghid putem intra ^in comunicare cu constiinta cetii dintr-o anumita regiune, pentru a cunoaste cum este sa fii ceva at^at de subtil si de efemer ca ceata, sau pentru a ^indeparta, la nevoie, ceata din respectiva regiune. Asa faceau vechii solomonari rom^ani cu ploile, cu grindina si cu viscolul. Dupa ce erau scoliti ^in stiintele pam^antene, acestia realizau contactul cu maestrii silfi care ^ii ajutau sa ^inteleaga procesele meteorologice si modalitatea de a le influenta.
Unii magi de acest tip puteau practica foarte mult, daca doreau, anumite exercitii date de catre silfi, ajung^and sa ^inteleaga si sa aplice principiile levitatiei. Pentru acest lucru existau mai multe metode, cum ar fi folosirea polaritatii umane si cea a Pam^antului pentru a anula gravitatia sau folosirea principiului divin Aer pentru a reduce masa corpului dupa dorinta, initiatul devenind usor ca un fulg, dupa cum ar percepe un observator extern. Testele fizicii moderne au demonstrat ca acest lucru este posibil ^insa numai ^in conditii de laborator. Cu toate acestea, nu oricine putea face acest lucru, ci numai anumitti indivizi care aveau o legatura mult mai str^ansa cu elementul Aer, si automat, cu silfii si silfidele.
^In folclorul rom^anesc sunt cunoscute ^in special silfidele, sub forma unor fete deosebit de gratioase, jucause si frumoase, care danseaza ^in hore si care pot fi vazute ^in anumite nopti ale anului, c^and se deschid cerurile, cum ar fi Noaptea de Boboteaza. Ele sunt numite s^anzienele, z^anele, albele, ielele, v^antoasele, iovanele, d^ansele, frumoasele, maiastrele, m^andrele, milostivele, vrednicele, soimanele, jup^anesele, dragaicele, fetele c^ampului si c^ate si mai c^ate. Silfii sunt cunoscuti ca blajinii, bl^anzii sau rohmanii, si nu sunt la fel de cunoscuti precum silfidele. Unele erau considerate z^ane bune, cum ar fi albele sau m^andrele, ^in timp ce altele erau considerate rele, vatamatoare, ca ielele sau d^ansele. Aici era vorba strict de nivelul omului care le vedea. Daca acel om era nepregatit spiritual sau nu era destul de pur, vibratia lor ^inalta si dansul lor ^ii putea produce deformari ale corpului mental, rezult^and boli psihice, omul refuz^and sa mai vorbeasca, sa man^ance sau ^innebunea, zic^andu-se despre el ca era luat de Iele sau atins de Iele. Poporul vechi le cunoastea ^insa ca fiinte bl^ande si prietenoase cu cei care erau credinciosi, drepti si muncitori, ajut^and pe cei rataciti sa-si gasesca drumul si pe ciobani sa dea de urma oilor pierdute.
^In zilele noastre silfii sufera destul de mult c^and vad nepasarea oamenilor fata de poluarea atmosferei si efectele ei. Stiau cu destul de mult timp ^in urma de distrugerea stratului de ozon, neav^and voie sa intervina, ^insa eforturile lor alaturi de alti maestri din alte rase pentru a mentine nivelul oxigenului constant este continuu. Fara lucrul acestor fiinte aflate ^in slujba Creatorului omul ar fi sf^arsit demult sub greutatea gazelor poluante pe care el ^insusi le-a produs.
De la aceste minunate fiinte trebuie sa ^invatam importanta aerului, a fiecarei guri de oxigen pe care o luam si care ne umple de sanatate, si a fiecarei guri de dioxid de carbon, care este necesar vietii vegetale ( care, la r^andul ei, producve oxigenul necesar noua). Recuperarea si mentinerea resurselor de oxigen a devenit o problema globala, si cu c^at tratam atmosfera noastra ca pe o parte a trupului Mamei Geea si o vom proteja, cu at^at mai mult efectele dezastruoase cauzate de ignoranta noastra se vor diminua.

FIRST:You long for two to three others to help, they desire be your prayer demonstrate. It is best to find believing Christians who know how to pray and hang on them either come with you (best) or pray at up-to-the-minute view.
However, it is very leading that you are not lost, hang on at least possible one with you who is a Christian of look-in. They can demonstrate you and if you hang on others praying lost in thought they possibly will publication send out them as to how the ritual is separation.

Until Back up Term,High priest Swope
There is a whole lotta Sword-ness going on in these cards! Lots of words flying (I mistype "Swords" as "Words" many times a day), lots of communication, and even though Swords are airy in most systems, this feels like a lot of Fire to me, so those Elements feed each other in this set of cards.
Tarot of the Tattoo Age- Knight of Swords, Queen of Swords, Seven of Swords
That Knight of Wands may believe he has captured his dragon, but is he riding it or is it carrying him off? Is he coming or going? This Queen of Swords weeps tears of blood, having been so thoroughly pierced they have nowhere else to go. If we run out of water for our tears, do we begin to use our blood? How many tears would we have to cry to get there? The imp in the Seven of Swords does solemnly swear he is up to no good, and his materialism at all costs may be his downfall, but he is going to enjoy every moment of it while he can.
For me, these cards perfectly embody how I feel about "Black Friday" and the whole shopping season that surrounds Christmas. I despise it in every way. I hate Black Friday that forced my brother's girlfriend to work at 8pm on Thanksgiving Day, I hate the rampant consumerism, I hate the kids counting presents, and I am sickened by the thought of cutting my holiday short so that we can "buy" things.
The Man, however, loves Black Friday, and any bargain, he loves to shop, to give presents and to get them, for the holidays. I have nothing against presents, persay, just I don't like them around what should be a sacred holiday, and there is no reason for me to get a gift on Jesus' birthday. I love to give and give gifts for no reason, at other times. While fighting is too strong a word for what has been going on in our house, we definitely have different ideas about what Christmas is, and they come out at this time of year. I want to build traditions, to have experiences, and make memories, which I think happens by spending time and thoughtfully following old and making new traditions. The Man has nothing against this, but his solution to most problems is to throw money at the situation. The actual money or gifts are not the issue, which is why there are no Pentacles in this reading (yet) but our communications about the money and gifts are, especially today, one of my least favorite days of the year, and that is why this reading is full of heated Swords. It's a day off for both of us, right after a very blessed, but hectic holiday, and we have had several months packed with kids' activities and surgeries. I wanted to snuggle up close to him, sleep in a little, and just enjoy a well earned day of rest. He wanted to get up, get going, and spend the day buying things. I hate shopping. But I love him. So there we are.
Tarot of the Tattoo Age- Three of Pentacles
The Shadow Card is the Three of Pentacles, this one portrayed with sobbing babies, I need to stop being a baby and insisting on getting my way. This family is a collaboration, a traditional meaning for the Three of Pentacles, and it works because The Man makes it work, and is willing to do anything for me. I owe him no less, and there are very few of my convictions that matter more to me than his feelings. Some, but not many, so I need to just let go of my resentment of spending time and money to provide things I don't believe anyone "needs", because it makes him happy to do this. So I will.
There are no Majors in this reading, no Devil, so I know this is not a serious issue. It is just a mild disagreement, and we aren't even fighting about it. The money spent won't break us, and there will be more time to spend quietly this weekend. There is little to actually complain about, just a compromise to be made.
