INDIAN LEGEND

There is an Indian legend which says:

"When a human dies there is a bridge they must cross to enter into heaven. At the head of that bridge waits every animal that human encountered during their lifetime.

The animals, based upon what they know of this person, decide which humans may cross the bridge...and which are turned away."

Mother Shipton's Prophecies" Uncouth Rhyme.".

"And now a word, in uncouth rhyme

Of what whall be in future time

Then upside down the world shall be

And gold found at the root of tree

All England's sons that plough the land

Shall oft be seen with Book in hand

The poor shall now great wisdom know

Great houses stand in farflung vale

All covered o'er with snow and hail

A carriage without horse will go

Disaster fill the world with woe.

In London, Primrose Hill shall be

In centre hold a… Continue

Doctor Joke...

So, this guy has been feeling pretty bad lately and finally decides to go to the doc.

Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee

Some say, compar'd to Bononcini

That Mynheer Handel's but a Ninny

Others aver, that he to Handel

Is scarcely fit to hold a Candle

Strange all this Difference should be

'Twixt Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee! ~~~John Byrom (1692–1763)

Many opinions exist on the the role that Venus, Amore and a host of others play in our lives. While my own philosophy aligns with a close parellel to "If you meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him". I have always felt that there are… Continue

~ Cleansing in the Shower ~

~ Cleansing in the Shower ~

When we awaken for the day, our energies are ethereal and our minds saturated with the energy of the dreaming. Begin your day by hopping into the shower or bath, yet don’t let it be a physical or bodily cleansing alone. We are blessed to have access to clean and purifying water and should pay attention to this, honor this, and utilize it for the most spiritual purposes possible. As the bathwater is draining, or as the water from the showerhead cleanses you… Continue

She gave me a prescription to take when I get my teeth pulled the 13th, and we go back in 3 weeks for my next appointment. We went in for my ultra sound Friday morning so they could take measurements of the baby. They were pretty sure the first time that we were… Continue

Soul Searching and Reconnecting with the Gods

I recently started this thread for advice about a situation that's been presented to me during a very stagnant time in my life (at least on the religious front). I want to thank everyone for their advice, opinions, and help. You're all amazing.

I've started a Blogger account, since I know that PaganSpace will distract me if I try to blog here. LOL Discussions are too tempting, and I don't want to waste… Continue

Brownies For Freyja

I have heart shaped cake pans, which for me means that just about anything I make in them is automatically connected in some way, shape or form, with Freyja as I connect the heart very much with Her. So today I am making brownies, and the first one will be offered up to Her, once that is done everyone else will get their share... I know that this probably sounds a little bit 'out there' to the average person, but it's the way I like to live my life and I think that it pleases the Gods when we… Continue

CANDLEMAS

The Light Returns

by Mike Nichols

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems quite impossible that the holiday of Candlemas should be considered the beginning of spring. Here in the Heartland, February 2 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… Continue

Crossroads

The crossroads into the unknown

At the edge of the cliff

What can be seen?

The long winding road of yesterday

Littered with shattered dreams of the past

Emptiness and longing of the present

A threshold to the possibilities of tomorrow

Unholy Flame

Eternal damnation

Infernal desire

Wisps of smoke

Rise from the pyre

In each plume

A hope or dream

A testament

To the unseen

Archaic thoughts

A shield of stone

An abyss of old

Of flesh and bone

Friend or foe

Dancing ghosts

Guarding sentinels

Or welcoming hosts

Rattling chains

Secure and strong

Kept them at bay

Imprisoned for so long

Flickering… Continue

Almost....

Through the darkest of nights

Through the darkest of days

A spark always remained

A glimmer

A hope

Almost gone

Almost forgotten
