Trained Lineage? WTF

Are people really that desperate for lineage that they will just make this shit up? It doesn't matter who you were trained by. For all that the rest of us know that person is a complete idiot. Lineage is in the bloodlines. Unless you were adopted or born into a family with a trad, you can't claim lineage. That is like me saying I am a martial artist who knows what they are doing because I was trained by Chuck Norris. BTW I wasn't really, that's just an example. The spirituality is what matters.… Continue

Koh I Nor Diamond

The Kōh-i Nūr (Hindi: कोहिनूर, Persian/Urdu: کوہ نور, Telugu: కోహినూరు) which means "Mountain of Light" in Persian, also spelled Koh-i-noor, Koh-e Noor or Koh-i-Nur, is a 105 carat (21.6 g) diamond (in its most recent cut) that was once the largest known diamond in the world. The Kōh-i Nūr originated in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India along with its double, the Darya-i-noor (the "Sea of Light"). It has belonged to various Hindu, Mughal, Persian, Afghan, Sikh and British rulers who…

Tact

According to the Vedic scriptures there are four primary activities.

!.Eating

2.Sleeping

3.Mating

4.Defending/Fearing

It may seem hard to believe but the Vedic opinion is that Defending/Fearing is the most prominent of the four activities even more than Mating! History is filled with one war after another.It is a fantasy to think that we will never need armies.But Defending /Fearing also applies to philosophical and religious debate.There… Continue

The Death of a great Teacher

I know that this is not a European martial arts instructor or any kind of Asatru or Heathen, but he was a great teacher, a good man and a great inspiration to me and several of my instructors over the years so I am spreading the word.

Grandmaster Professor Wally Jay Has Died! Around 2:30am May 29, 2011 the martial arts community lost one of the great masters of our time. He will be truly missed by many around the world.

Professor Wally Jay was truly a pillar of the jujitsu… Continue

odd ability?

I was visiting with a friend last night when I received a phone call on my cell phone. It was odd because I was at home and everyone knows not to call my cell phone because it's only on when I'm out and about, the only reason it was on last night was because I'd been out yesterday and had forgot to turn it off. So, anyways, there was a voicemail and I tried to check it but I was outside and it was dark and I couldn't see to punch in my passcode. Thus, rather than going inside to the electrical… Continue

Owning Your True Potential

Owning Your True Potential

Recognizing and owning one's true potential is often a difficult task in the linear life. A discovery often results when one truly lets go of the immediate dramas and becomes unified with their soulful selves.

The question surely raised is, "How does one do that?"

In the physical anyone can spin a drama into deeper and deeper moments. No one really needs assistance with that enactment. What one does need perspective on is the ability… Continue

Unorganized and disparing

I realized the other night that I didn't have half my magical items out and we've been in this house for more than two years and faced with possible moving this summer if I can't get a better job. Not to be let down, I've started rearranging my temple room and getting all of my items in order. It is a long process because I've been accumulating since I was 12 when I started practicing.

I also realized last night that I still haven't gotten around to putting all of my personal…

A Warning to my Co-worker for her Mean Spirited Actions

To thee who tries to bring me down,

woe to you, brave one,

my ferocity shall make you undone

Negative is always a bad thing,

even when pointed away from thee,

excuses, excuses,

thee shall be the one in a bad light

When the deed is done,

and you have gone on,

to your pathetic life,

and your small world,

and I shine on

triumphantly

for my meaning does not lie here,

within useless work and useless tasks,

mundane and… Continue

.................................

So Linda (the one who had passed away recently) husband dropped off all of her books, oils, incense, and candles to me. I can't believe she still has my old BOS that she made for me, and she even finished it off for me too! there are also a couple other ones she started. A few books by Silver Ravenwolf...I guess Linda favoured her. There were also 2 new blank leather bound journals. I feel so blessed to have been given these. I will take good care of them!

I was also looking at a…

Ascending From My Hermitage (THE reason I've been...nowhere)

So Here We Go :)

It has now been nearly a month since the full onset of my Hermitage and I feel myself slowly coming out of it.

Being without my extra senses made me feel lopsided and deformed.

And a few times it very nearly cost me dearly.

I ran into a "soul-less" person who tried to suck the life out of me…
