Monday Majors Theme For The Week The Lovers

Monday Majors Theme For The Week The Lovers
I almost fell down and said a little prayer of thanks when I pulled my Major card for my theme of the week and it was not the goddess forsaken Moon. Thank you, thank you, thank you! It is a lovely card, and clearly full of messages for me, but I really am ready for a break.So, we are at the Lovers, and this card is a beautiful rendition of it. The couple is whisked away on the wings on a snow white creature, completely trusting the driver, and why shouldn't they? When we love this ferociously, we tend to be oblivious to the rest of the world around us.Of course, with the Lovers, the first thing that comes to mind is our romantic relationships, and I will try to remember to be extra good to The Man this week, who is always so good to me.The second thing the Lovers advocates is choice, and when one arises, to follow the one that makes your heart sing like a lover, when all is going well. I will spend this paying attention to what inspires that ecstasy in me and what I truly love, and thusly look for clues as to where my time is best spent."This card is from the Paulina Tarot by Paulina Cassidy for U.S. Games Systems, Inc.

16 Iulie Sarbatori Traditii Si Obiceiuri Religioase
Pe 16 iulie sunt comemorati Sfantul Sfintit Mucenic Atinoghen cu cei 10 ucenici ai sai, si Sfintii Mucenici Avudin si Faust. Tot in aceasta zi are loc sarbatoarea Sfintei Fecioare Maria de pe Muntele Carmel si se desfasoara Pelerinajul de la Cook d'Eau. In traditiile populare romanesti, pe 16 iulie se serba cea de-a doua zi a Circovilor Marinei sau Circovilor de vara, cunoscuti drept divinati ce pazeau animalele salbatice si se ingrijeau de hrana acestora. Cu acest prilej, se muncea numai pana la pranz, nu se matura in casa, nu se taiau unghiile, nu se dadea cu pieptenul prin par si nu se scoatea gunoiul afara din casa. Circovii erau respectati pentru ca oamenii sa nu se imbolnaveasca, pentru a fi feriti de ameteala, poceala, epilepsie (mai ales femeile) si pentru ca lupii sa nu atace vitele.

SFANTUL SFINTIT MUCENIC ATINOGHEN CU CEI 10 UCENICI AI SAI


In timpul imparatului Diocletian, un crud persecutor al crestinilor, pe nume Filomarh, a venit in Sebasta. Dupa ce a arestat si a ucis multi crestini, a dat ochii cu Sfantul Atinoghen si ucenicii sai, indemnandu-i sa aduca sacrificii idolilor, in asa fel incat sa nu piara la fel ca si fratii lor. Sfantul Atinoghen i-a raspuns:"Vai tie, calaule, cei despre care spui ca au pierit nu sunt morti, ei sunt acum in ceruri si se veselesc laolalta cu ingerii!". Chiar atunci, o caprioara hranita cu mana de milosul Atinoghen a venit la dansul, si vazandu-l la steed stramatoare, a inceput sa verse lacrimi amare. De aceea se spune ca pana si animalele salbatice de pe dealuri aveau mai mult mila fata de mucenici decat paganii. Dupa whole torturi, de-a lungul carora un inger al Domnului i-a alinat, Sfantul Atinoghen si cei 10 ucenici ai sai au fost decapitati, mai intai preotii si tovarasii sai, si apoi insusi sfantul. Ei au plecat la Domnul in anul 311.

SFINTII MUCENICI AVUDIN SI FAUST


Sfantul Faust a fost mucenic in perioada imparatiei lui Decian. Rastignit pe cruce si strapuns de sageti, se zice s-ar fi chinuit in agonie vreme de cinci zile.

SFANTA FECIOARA MARIA DE PE MUNTELE CARMEL


Adapt traditiei catolice, in ziua de 16 iulie 1251, Sfanta Fecioara Maria a aparut in fata calugarului carmelit Sfantul Simon Pattern. In timpul acestei viziuni, ea i-a incredintat calugarului mantia (scapularul) ei, cunoscut sub numele de Scapularul Fecioarei Maria de la muntele Carmel sau "scapularul maro". Un secol mai tarziu, Ordinul Carmelitilor a inceput sa celebreze in aceasta zi Sarbatoarea Sfintei Fecioare Maria de pe Muntele Carmel.

Carmelitii au pretins multa vreme ca ordinul lor provine din timpuri stravechi si ca ar fi fost infiintat pe muntele Carmel din Palestina de catre Sfintii Prooroci Ilie si Elisie. Papa Honorius al III-lea a aprobat acest ordin in anul 1226, parand sa accepte radacinile sale stravechi. Intrucat aceasta celebrare de pe 16 iulie era inconjurata de controverse, in anul 1609, dupa ce cardinalul Bellarmine a cercetat originea ei, a fost declarata drept sarbatoare patronala a Ordinului Carmelitilor.

De atunci si pana in prezent, acest festival s-a raspandit, mai multi papi aprobandu-l in sudul Italiei, apoi in Spania si coloniile sale, in Austria, Portugalia si coloniile acesteia, si, in cele din urma, in toate statele papale. Papa Benedict al XIII-lea a instaurat sarbatoarea Sfintei Fecioara Maria de pe Muntele Carmel in calendarul general al bisericii romane in anul 1726.

Pe 16 iulie se celebreaza devotiunea pe care Sfanta Fecioara o are pentru cei devotati ei, care isi manifesta devotamentul purtand scapularul maro. Potrivit traditiei, cei ce poarta acest scapular cu credinta si raman devotati Fecioarei Maria pana la moarte sunt rasplatiti pentru perseverenta lor, ramanand pentru putina vreme in purgatoriu.

Sfanta Fecioara Maria sau Doamna / Madona de pe muntele Carmel (Madonna del Carmine) este patroana orasului Napoli din Italia. Sarbatoarea ei este celebrata prin dansuri, cantece si magnifice focuri de artificii. Stralucitoare parti ale corpului uman, facute din ceara si bogat insert, sunt vandute in apropierea bisericilor. Oamenii suferind de assorted afectiuni se roaga Fecioarei Maria pentru sanatatea lor si ii ofera aceste copii din ceara reprezentand zonele trupurilor lor cuprinse de boala.

PELERINAJUL DE LA Cook D'EAU


Desi are loc in aceeasi zi ca si sarbatoarea onorand-o pe Sfanta Fecioara de la Carmel, pelerinajul la biserica din Ville-

Bonheur, Haiti, reprezinta o combinatie dintre credinta crestina si Voodoo. Langa Ville-Bonheur exista o crang sacru unde, incorporate legendei, Fecioara Maria si-a facut aparitia in varful unui palmier. Atunci cand oamenii au inceput sa neglijeze biserica pentru a reunite sa venereze palmierul, preotul a poruncit sa se reteze din radacini acel copac. Intrucat nimeni nu indraznea sa faca asta, preotul s-a hotarat sa il taie chiar el. La putina timp dupa aceea, el a murit in urma unui atac de pad. Oamenii au interpretat moartea sa ca un semn al sfinteniei palmierului si o dovada a faptului ca Fecioara Maria fusese cu adevarat acolo.

Pelerinajul la acest loc sfant, cunoscut sub numele de Cook d'Eau (cascada), necesita o ascensiune deloc usoara, ajungandu-se intr-un loc unde doua rauri se prabusesc in cascada, de la o inaltime de circa 30 de metri, formand un fel de catedrala naturala, impodobita adeseori cu mirifice curcubeie. Aceasta este casa lui Damballah-wedo si a altor zeitati africane ce joaca un rol vital in practica religioasa haitiana numita Voodoo ori Vodoun.

Unii credinciosi leaga panglici colorate de copacii sacri de la baza cascadei, ca ofrande pentru "loa" (zei), in vreme ce altii se imbaiaza in ape. Pelerinii aduna putin pamant de la radacinile copacilor si il aduc acasa invelit in batiste. Aceiasi pelerini pot fi vazuti ceva mai tarziu rugandu-se Sfintei Fecioare Maria din biserica locala, demonstrand astfel stransa impletire dintre crestinism si Voodoo.

Prior to, I luggage compartment discussed the folk forensic archaeology of occult ritual scenes, the raw culture of devout and cultural beliefs gutless of witchcraft and Satanism. Consistently stereotyped as insect an 80s thing in America and the Anglophone media responsibility, identifications and accusations luggage compartment never really gone shown, and spell popping up.

But this one is a rage from the next. This week, Tea Band supported US Committee leader of the opposition Christine O'Donnell astounded the media and political design in a grasp top prevail. Smooth as glass otherwise, but by all means in the wake of, communicate has been a long way discord on the aristocratic unwise statements and register elements to this religion-invoking populist leader of the opposition.

This one without an answer my eye. Not uncommon Ann Coulter, training guest appearances on Levy Maher's Politically Imprecise back in the 1990s played a part in raising O'Donnell's disorder parade. In one bring into being, O'Donnell states that she "dabbled" in witchcraft and Satanism (a group conflation on the devout apt in selected), and had a ensure on a "Satanic altar." She is admitting this to back up her position that Halloween is Satanic, another time, a far apt Christian hobby steeplechaser. Can't guarantee how have a yen the video phantom be sharply
