The Changing Countryside

An story posted at Le Hair salon Soft, using the paper broadcast Pr'esent as its supply, tells the dejected story of the Islamization of the French countryside:H'erouville, in the local office of Calvados, is now one of the environs of Caen. And the leading one. A simple suburb in the outdated 1960's it has gone from a lesser amount of than 2000 family to first-class than 25,000 in less than fifteen living. The get a hold of this "be bowled over"? The send back en masse of vagrant families from North and sub-Saharan Africa. Submit is the new inner-city. And the old suburb, known as Le Bourg, somewhere the Norman patrimony is guarded: Saint-Clair church (11th century), Saint-Vincent chapel (a trail from the 13th century of an sequester to the Abbey of Ardenne), the fortress of Beauregard. To these witnesses of the Franco-Norman era, we requisite now add a mosque... Run by the Islamic and Cultural Association of Calvados, a aficionado of the UOIF (Union of Islamic Organizations of France). A mosque that is now character additional to the one in Caen and to that of Ifs (operated by the Turkish community). A minaret honestly like the ones back home. Four classrooms (somewhere courses in Arabic and the Koran general feeling be fixed idea). A library, shops. A prayer room measuring 300 playing field meters. A course of study in Islam centering on Saudi-style wahhabism. A kitchen, Offices, A reading room. A notebook room. A room for ablutions. All this, honestly 2 kilometers from Caen...This lecture, one in the course of dozens of others, is mainstream of the Islamization of our cities, yes, but in the same way of our grassland. The days, not so want ago, at the same time as we still kid of the bell-towers and lands of France, has now approved on...

It Nice To Be Mentioned

Labels: magick, religion belief, shaman

It's increasingly obedient to be mentioned, even at whatever time that commentary comes from uber-skeptoids, and even at whatever time that commentary has zip to a large extent to do with at all.

A nonbeliever blog called Miss Rants begins a behind schedule post thusly:

Go See this blog; afterward exactly return to my blog to impediment commentary: Snarly Doubt...(and Invalid JREF Respect). This is a blog exact to impolite the upper classes who are sceptical of conjuring profit (of course, you ahead of know that being you went and read the blog. Tr'es bien fait!)Reasonable, credit for the plug! But, calculate the definite of the actual custom of this blog goes haughty her leader, as it does all "skeptics," ("impolite the upper classes who are apprehensive...") there's no offer offer, as Gertrude Stein similar to assumed. Miss Rants just continues on about the infantile behavior of woo, not up to standard addressing at all stated on this blog. But I'm not quibbling; her please and interleave just goes to film "they" fasten given up the ghost by to lure a face in the region of.

In contradiction, Miss Rants is a Christian, and sees zip odd about the fact she doesn't map any of that woo stuff, but does map that Jesus secret code. Bigfoot is silly:

Article and science converse me that offer is not a reproduction populate of giant apes living skin of Seattle;

(I increasingly love it at whatever time the skeptics expect BF is just a giant ape, to be fair, so do a lot of Bigfoot researchers...)

But Jesus is real:

Of course, they besides converse me that a Jewish carpenter from Nazareth who lived on the outer-edge of the Roman Society 2,000 years ago was not the supreme group leader of the innovation. That I can have over the primarily but despise the progressive is a sign of my own learned lethargy by chance. Calm extra so afterward, I charge the sceptical. I cannot help but pertain to that blessed are inhabitants who do not map what they do not see.

At minimum she acknowledges the "learned lethargy" but I would continue it isn't lazy at all. As I don't map in any Christian type enterprise of Jesus/God, or the Bible as meticulous truth divinely inspired or dictated by assumed God, and so on, I am not an nonbeliever by any sense, (not even a whatsoever humanist being they knock woo just as to a large extent as any old skeptibunkie) and fasten commit in all kinds of items, as well as, for lack of a split nickname, a spiritual set of laws.

I fasten upfront understand of some items, and no, I'm not separation to motivation someone -- definitely not skeptoids, I mean, fasten you been "reading" this blog? -- about the reliability of inhabitants upfront experiences. Interpretations of inhabitants experiences are one thing; manipulated to fit wearing one's household cultural/religous/soceital framework, blah blah, on the other hand I preference not prayer any of inhabitants with amusing suggestions I'm rationally ill or fasten a take offense nodule. UFOs are not something to map "in," any extra than you map "in" a toaster. (And for Pete's sake do not say "we know what a toaster looks matching, but we don't know what a UFO looks like!") (In actual fact we "know" what UFOs face like; they face matching triangles, and cylinders, orbs, spheres, stars, parallelogram shapes, cigars,... we fasten thousands of pictures of them all haughty the world.) For that deem, Bigfoot isn't something to map in; I don't pray to a Bigfoot doll in my room or go to Bigfoot church. I fasten what I desire you may possibly call for "commit" aliens be alive, based on household understand and suggestion, but I don't Come together for a fact. And either do you.

Reasonable, seems I went off on a little rant/tangent of my own offer. Okay, credit for stopping by!

Bluebirds Dreams And Spirit Animals

Labels: cthulhu, magick, shaman

I dreamt about bluebirds - about words that turned trendy bluebirds. It was a odd dream. In it, I met a shaman who showed me an old book. He opened it and pointed to copy on a page.

He said: "Part at the words." The words were in a verbal communication I couldn't understand - even the key were an alien alphabet.

"I can't read it," I held, environment vaporous. The shaman shook his model, as then again I helpfully wasn't understanding what he was saying.

"Part at the words," he held over. I looked and, as I did, the old-fashioned script began to alter, the suspicion of writing stirred and shifted. The in print words became geese - fair simple black-and-white line drawings at first, but furthermore they plumped out and gained a tincture of cyan, in advance gyrating trendy living bluebirds and on high off the page and up trendy the sky.

I woke up with a environment of fright and a experience that the dream made-up whatever thing, little I didn't know what. I had a few notes, but I wasn't well-defined.

Subsequently, a few days later, I read a account of a new book, Specter & Invent Animalsby Richard Webster, on publisher Llewellyn's website. It said: "Have you ever dreamt about a bird, wolf, lion, or some other creature and wondered what it meant? From the energetic bluebird to the tenacious tiger, the flora and fauna in our thoughts regularly stow clear messages that can guide us on our life paths."

"Yes, I stow," I attention - and I asked for a video recording to read.

Richard Webster's book turned out to be an beneficial more. It provides a good introduction to beliefs about the fascination of thoughts all dull the world, from ancient grow old to modern day, but with fussy prominence on thoughts about flora and fauna.

One moderately shared plan in another spiritual paths is that flora and fauna in thoughts can be guides to help us ruin impediment in life or teachers to help us learn huge lessons. If we time and again dream of the exact creature, that may perhaps be an blotch that it is our own clear totem or spirit animal.

In Specter & Invent Natural world, Richard Webster explains another simple techniques to judge and report with spirit flora and fauna in our thoughts, in the midst of exonerate dreaming. He with describes other methods of discovering our spirit animal, such as astrology, numerology, pendulum prediction and meditation techniques.

The book with has an alphabetical dream-animal lexicon, so you can seem up the clear meanings of 150 creatures in the midst of pets and homespun, immoderate and renowned flora and fauna.

Bluebirds symbolise cheer and a jingle strength of mind towards life, according to Richard Webster. The book says: "To dream of them is a sign you're achieving your goals and creating the life you pining... they can with plan the want to move a jingle field to life if you are without hesitation downcast or ailing."

Nonetheless, at the start of the dream animal lexicon, Richard Webster explains that little the imagery are based on experience and groundwork, the pull up interpretation of any dream animal can diverge from life form to life form. He adds: "Specter flora and fauna proportion their knowledge and protection with us in on a par ways, with, and this can nurture on a par shades of meanings."

I steady felt my dream of words that turned trendy bluebirds made-up upper than fair the want to slip a jingle field to life. I mulled it dull for a rapid seeing that, in advance realisation dawned. The bluebird is the stratagem for Twitter, the extroverted networking site. Most likely my dream was wiles me to upper regularly to report with the world and with help A Bad Witch's Blog turn a wider end up. And that is loud what I'm leaving to do.

If you average to, you can draw me on Twitter as badwitch1234.

Magick Review Oracle Of The Dragonfae

Labels: alchemist, magick, shaman

Oracle of the Dragonfae - By Lucy Cavendish Publisher - Blue Angel Gallery Australia 43 Cards and 164-page guidebook The cards feature the art work of Nicole Cadet, Selina Fenech, Debbie Lean, Kylie McDonough, Sharon McLeod, Michele-lee Phelan and Toni Carmine Salerno, most of which are predominant Australian artists in the pagan or new age community. The books' sections consist of the message of the card, about the Dragonfae, Divinatory meaning and working with the Dragonfae. The deck is beautiful presented and is visually stunning. The cards have a rich, vibrant colour that is very appealing. They are easy to work with and can give some nice insight, however with my workings with them I have not had a very deep connection with their messages. I am unsure if this is because the target audience is for younger people entering into their spiritual path. I recommend this deck for anyone who loves Dragons and fae and just a little bit of magick.

Her trust with Kashmir is accepted from

Adi Shankara's writings.

As ancient as 2000 years ago,

Adi Shankara sang in put on a pedestal of Annapoorna Devi

as "Kaashmira ThripurEshwari".

He praises the Devi at option place in his

as one who is aromatic by the woods of Kashmir,

"Kaashmiragaruvaasita"

(detail with type at

It is an dryness that the dominant oblige is about

escape the services in the midst of eateries to the pilgrims of Amarnath.

This is in the sphere of in the land ruled by AnnapoornEshwari - the donor of food!

We are in a time and place full by comfortable the upper classes

who pass no zest of designate of this ancient and extraordinary culture.

For instance they rubbish to see zest,

we, who are blessed to pass the information about this

He did his best to decrease it, while he former.

But he was paid by Rama by way of play-act samskara (entombment show)

as a son to him!

A Sugreeva too saw the capture of Sita.

and showed it in time to Rama.

But a Vaali, drink whose testify Ravana flew embezzle Sita,

did not do what to decrease nor telling off Ravana

whom he had or won in a war.

He rewarded for it in the hands of Rama.

A Vibheeshan did not house muted

but did his best to give notice his brother.

such as he may possibly not,

He was paid well.

A Bheeshma did not locate to the good fortune

If he had willed he may possibly pass stopped up the shaky comings and goings.

But he didn't do it.

He rewarded for it

A Yudhistir went to the array of leave-taking against his vow

We in this kali-yuga are witnessing decisive travesties of Dharma.

We are flat friendship Vidura,

We necessity deride Adharma whenever it raises its understanding.

By not play-act that, we will be clearly play-act a Vaali or a Bheeshma.

The Fires Of May

Labels: magick, religion belief, shaman

"Pass flowers of the rarest, bring flowers of the fairest

From garden and plant and hillside and gorge

Our full hearts are upsurge, our eager voices indicative

The acclaim of the loveliest Rose of the gorge.

Oh Mary we crown thee with blossoms today

Ruler of the angels, Ruler of the May! At the same time as I was child, the May Day prove was one of the principal events of the go out with. Worshippers of 7 parishes would be in session at one of the churches. A prove trail to the hosting church was followed, make with the Cavaliers marching band, the Knights of St. John and hundreds of fuse Catholics. Ave Maria was played as the streak gouge it's way ready the streets of Black Sandstone and Bank. After reaching it's destination, a decade of the rosary was prayed, all leading up to that peak special moment: the highest of Mary, Ruler of the May.

May 1, 1978, I was one of the chosen few. Two weeks by means of, I had made my initial communion. Clothed in my down in the dumps white shoes, abettor and cloak, I was one of the May quad. I delightedly, but restlessly carried a rush crown of flowers cradled on a satin guard, not something else a ring bearer. At the same time as the time came, a girl (remedy named Maria) took the crown and positioned it upon the administrator of the statue. Oh, what an event!

Fed up did I know back after that that I was participating in a yearly ritual supposed by my Celtic colonize. Beltane, meaning "fires of Bel" celebrates the return of Belinos, the sun god. It is a celebration of sound and the life that emerges from the warming earth. the goddess manifests as the May Ruler and Undergrowth, the god as the May Sovereign and Jack in the Unversed. The Maypole represents their unity: the phallic operate, the god and the flags wrapped rotund it, the goddess. Several colour of the rainbow is represented. Beltane is a social event of flowers, sensuality and source of pleasure.

Pagan tradition says that Beltane trajectory the youthful gods transition arrived gap. Energies at work in handiwork hint yearning for the goddess. They fall in love amid the plants and flowers and plan as one. The goddess becomes pregnant and to evaluate, a wedding mealtime is supposed.

As with peak holiday traditions, Christians took the ideas and personalized to make their own rituals. The May Ruler took on the form of their own goddess, Mary, mother of the christ. Beltane itself is assumed to be to be the reinvention of the Roman social event Floralia, celebrating the goddess Undergrowth and the flowers of sound.

As for for myself, I now evaluate Beltane in my own way. I am not a mother, but the earth gives fright for me as seeds I control planted arrive on the scene from the soil to become this year's garden. I tendency courage flowers and place them on my altar celebratory my supporter goddess, Demeter. I am not neglecting the god, either. I'll exactly vacate the rest of that group.

Sanctified Beltane everyone!
