Well >HUGS< to you too!Image said:Gypsy... You always make me long to have a daughter to educate in these ways. Growing up with you as her mother, let's see...
You teach her the ways of womanhood with no shame, respect for the Earth as our Mother; and living as one, very significant and connected part of the whole...
Give her a hug for me please
Gaia )0(
There are many young people who learn from the whole community. This time my daughter who's almost six, spent the talking stick time in the clean dirt by the fire rescuing snails coming out from under the rocks that were hot. She also drew in the dirt with her fingers and made tossing patterns with little rocks.
She was the only child and the other adults accepting her or controlling her at times is a very good influence. We walked a child size herb double-spiral labyrinth very carefully, spotting plants here and there, while she just hopped around in it. Its good to be told to walk carefully and see what you can see instead of just barging through.
Now she know how to put the offerings in the fire and then how to walk counter-clockwise after each offering and then to add your final stick before leaving the circle. We did it together this time, but she will have the pride of doing it on her own next time.
If she stumbles a bit too near the fire, there are many steady hands to guide her, even if they are not my own. It was great to be barefoot btw.

I've known for awhile now they've cut it off to the general public and the antics like Mae described that will eventually close it off all together...
But there are lots of sacred stone rings all through the land!
And Gypsy, if you ever want to go on a pagan pilgramage look me up

Calling Goddess Lovers!
You may have seen this elsewhere...there's a woman doing her doctoral dissertation that has a survey set up for women involved in goddess-focused spirituality. If you have the time, pop on over!
http://coon.dyndns.org/survey/
It doesn't take very long at all, I was done in under 10 minutes, cuz I'm a speed reader.

YAY! Another turn of the wheel! Blessings everyone!
Lammas comes between August first and second. It is a hot, lazy, delicious time of the year. Bees buzz in the heat of the day, the air is still, and the force of the sun remains strong, even though its sway over the earth is slowly diminishing day by day. In the cooler nighttime, frogs and crickets keep us company. It is here, in the gloaming, when so many rituals begin...
This is when the powerful gods of the grain harvests are honored. They are in their prime, sometimes generous, sometimes quixotic, and always aware with a bittersweet pleasure that their time will wane, as it always does, and they will die, as they always do, and yet nevertheless they will return to another delicious summer next year, as they always do, and have, and will, for this is the endlessly circling Wheel of the Year, and they ride it proudly.
Yet there is a darker nuance, one that surprised me, for I had thought that this was a purely masculine god's festival. I learned however of Lugh's touching and loving devotion to his foster-mother, the royal Tailtiu, whose fate may be even more intimately woven into this season than his.........

Happy Lugnasadh to everyone. T'is a bittersweet holiday for me today. It held a special significance in my mind (this Lugnasadh in particular) in regards to me and my (now) ex mate.
Yet, new beginnings are around the corner. Be safe, and blessed be!

Blessings to all.
I am trying to plan something special for All Hallows Eve! I am hoping to gather with some others I know here on Oahu. If anyone else is a solitary practitioner and lives in Hawaii, feel free to PM me for conversation or perhaps to gather on that night.

luv1 one made that cute image himself ~ LOL! where's that guy been ?
Linky dink please.
My studies have continued with energy work and using different hand mudras for my own health and well being. It is also part of our Gypsy fusion dance style which carries elements of India, Turkey, and Spain. I've always used my hands on other thing like plants, animals, children and adults; now its time to work on me.
I just got another call the other day from someone who wants some healing work done and I've never advertised. Just word of mouth from satisfied students is enough. They're students to me because I teach them how to take care of themselves more than being dependant on me or anybody else. If my students would just teach their friends then I wouldn't get these calls. Its a trip though to not charge money for healings and counsel yet gain so much in exchange from those that I come in contact with. Earth really can be a very cool place sometimes even though I get pissed off at its inhabitants on a daily basis.

Yes, that you can receive so much back in a non-monetary way is what it's all about!
Sure, people can be a pain in the ass sometimes but by and large I think we are evolving and that pendulum swing is going back up! I still have faith in humankind!

~ not very funny really but...
Be aware that the London Times has an article about a guy who put a crystal ball in his window and had it catch a pile of laundry on fire, thus burning down his house.
Don't forget about the power of all the elements people.

I am not one who practices any form of paganism, but I have for a long time had an interest in such things. I personally lean more toward oriental interests than say, celtic, but I do find quite a sense of beauty to it all.
I found this definition:
Pagan
From the Latin paganu(m), for "someone who is not from the city, rather from the country." In late Latin, this turned into pagensis, "one who is from the country," and this utimately became the French pays and the Spanish País, both meaning "nation."

Hi Raven... Nice to meet you
Paganism to me has simply come to mean anyone living consciously in tune with the cycles of nature. Your definition of the word is correct though some dictionaries just label it as 'religions' other than Christianity, Judaism or Muslim, as they are monotheistic. (Paganism being polytheistic).
The word Heathen has the same roots as Pagan, meaning A Heath dweller... It's as simple as that, though such negative connotations are made of it...
Welcome to the thread. Your input is appreciated )0(
