Did ancient giants...
"Go extinct? "
"Get killed off? "
"Die of disease? "
"Get bred out of the population? "
"Get punished by God? "
"Go into hiding?"
Let's look at some Native legends from around the world -
In Peru, there is a legend of the giants reaching their shores long ago, devouring their men, raping their women, and then committing sodomy. "The natives say that our Lord God, unwilling to conceal so wicked a sin, sent them a punishment suited to the beastliness of the crime, and when all the giants were together engaged in this accursed practice THERE CAME A FEARFUL FIRE FROM HEAVEN TO THE ACCOMPANIMENT OF A GREAT NOISE, IN THE MIDST OF WHICH A SHINING ANGEL APPEARED HOLDING A SHARP, BRIGHT SWORD WITH WHICH HE SLEW THEM ALL AT A SINGLE STROKE, AND THE FIRE CONSUMED THEM LEAVING ONLY A FEW BONES AND SKULLS, WHICH GOD ALLOWED TO REMAIN UNCONSUMED AS A TOKEN OF THE PUNISHMENT."
In that case, above, they describe any number of angelic or real-world experiences, from a horrible storm to a volcanic eruption (Western US Natives mentioned that as a reason for many tribes making an exodus), meteorite strike, or other.
The Lenape had this account: Their people came from the west after a volcanic eruption drove them east. "The Lepane told, that they had found the further bank of the River of Fish (Mississippi) inhabited by a very powerful people, who dwelt in great villages, surrounded by high walls. They were very tall, so tall that the head of the tallest Lenape could not reach their arms, and their women were of higher stature and heavier limbs than the loftiest and largest man in the confederate nations. They were called the Allegewi, and were men delighting in red and black paint, and the shrill war-whoop, and the strife of the spear. Such was the relation and made by spies to their countrymen."
...They sent a message to the Allegewi to request permission to settle themselves in their neighborhood. This was refused them, but they obtained leave to pass through the country and seek a settlement farther to the eastward. They accordingly began to cross the Namesi Sipu, when the Allegewi, seeing that their numbers were so great, and in fact they consisted of many thousands, made a furious attack on those that had crossed, threatening them all with destruction, if they dared persist in coming over to their side of the river. Fired at the treachery of these people, and the great loss of men they had sustained, and besides, not being prepared for a conflict, the Lenape consulted on what was to be done; whether to retreat in the best manner they could, or try their strength, and let the enemy see they were not cowards. "Alleghans through force of arms."
"While one should always be aware that history as related by the victorious side may not be history as it actually occurred, never the less the resultant war is related as eventually becoming an overwhelming loss for the Alleghans. Whether the Lenape were considered deceitful in not disclosing their vast hoard is perhaps irrelevant. While ONE ACCOUNT SAYS THE ALLEGEWI WERE EXTIRPATED, ANOTHER RELATES OF THEIR ESCAPE DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI. The Lenni Lenape, having made an alliance with the Mengwe, took many years, and through a great loss of people, claim to have finally defeated the" Alleghans through force of arms."
"Stonish giants"
In "Ancient History of the Six Nations," David Cusick tells of the legend of the stonish giants - ("a tribe of the wilderness") came from the woods and attacked the tribes and war began. They were ravenous and devoured people. THEY WERE DRIVEN BACK INTO THE WILDERNESS.
Source: " Two miles from Mandan, on the bluffs near the junction of the Hart and Missouri Rivers (North Dakota), says the local newspaper, THE PIONEER, IS AN OLD CEMETERY OF FULLY 100 ACRES IN EXTENT FILLED WITH BONES OF A GIANT RACE. This vast city of the dead lies just east of the Fort Lincoln road. The ground has the appearance of having been filled with trenches piled full of dead bodies, both man and beast, and covered with several feet of earth. In many places mounds from 8 to 10 feet high, and some of them 100 feet or more in length, have been thrown up and are filled with bones, broken pottery, vases of various bright colored flint, and agates. The pottery is of a dark material beautifully decorated, delicate in finish, and as light as wood, showing the work of a people skilled in the arts and possessed of a high state of civilization. This has evidently been a grand battlefield, where thousands of men... have fallen. Nothing like a systematic or intelligent exploration has been made as only little holes two or three feet in depth have been dug in some of the mounds, but many parts of the anatomy of man and beast, and beautiful specimens of broken pottery and other curiosities, have been found in these feeble efforts at excavation. Five miles above Mandan, on the opposite side of the Missouri, is another vast cemetery as yet unexplored. We asked an aged Indian what his people knew of these ancient graveyards. He answered: "ME KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEM. THEY WERE HERE BEFORE THE REDMAN."
The odd thing about these legends by Natives is that they are trying to explain something that happened, something outside of their understanding and so they attribute magical qualities to fill in the blanks in knowledge, kind of like when we experience ghostly interaction and tell a story of how surely it is the souls of the dead revisiting us. We don't understand the origin of the "phenomena," so we give it magical or other worldly origins. They also speak of these tall "white men" as being here when their people arrived to the continent, showing an earlier race of giants who had spread out across the world long before man on foot was overtaking the continents. In fact, early enough to mine, have civilizations and language. But, the land could only be held by one man, as these originators were a bloodthirsty and hungry group. It would appear the Native people of America (whose DNA did not match the Adena people) were, in fact, the true victors and the lands secured for their people.
In Australia, the aborigines had a legend of a giant who ate people and disrupted the community. Two women COAXED HIM INTO A CAVE WHERE THEY BURNED HIM. This is similar to the Paiutes' tale of trapping the man-eating giants in the cave in Nevada where THEY BURNED THEM WITH SAGE BRUSH FILLING THE OPENING OF THE CAVE. The Lenni-Lenape spoke of a race of giants they FOUGHT OFF BY JOINING FORCES WITH ANOTHER TRIBE, KILLING OFF MOST OF THE GIANTS AND SENDING THE REST DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI. The Cherokee speak of DRIVING OFF THE MOON-EYED PEOPLE who would only come out at night and feared the light. In these cases, it would appear that the masses rebelled, rather than God striking them down ("as in the Peruvian tale above").
"David Cusick, a Tuscorora [sic] by birth, writes in 1825 that among the legends of ancient stock, there was a powerful tribe called RONNONGWETOWANCA. They were giants, and had a "considerable habitation." He says that when the Great Spirit made the people, some of them became giants. The giants were said to have had a "silly" mode of attack, waiting until their intended victim was not expecting anything. After a time, and having endured the outrages of these giants, it is said that the people ended together, and through the final force of about 800 warriors, SUCCESSFULLY ANNIHILATED ALL OF THE ABHORRENT RONNONGWETOWANCA PEOPLE. After that, it was said that there were no giants anywhere. This was supposed to have happened around 2,500 winters before Columbus discovered America, i.e. around 1000 B.C.E.-the time that the Adena seem to have arrive in the Ohio Valley."
Bible: "The people of the ancient world accepted the presence of giants as a fact of history, and the Bible presents them as ENEMIES WHO WERE DESTROYED EITHER BY THE JUDGMENT OF GOD OR IN BATTLE WITH MEN."
In the case of David the shepherd in the Bible, HE SLEW GOLIATH THE GIANT WITH A STONE IN HIS SLINGSHOT.
Og of Bashan was a giant SLEWED BY MOSES AND HIS MEN.
In the story of the Iliad, the Trojans were assumed to be from another land, a different language than the Greeks, but understandable by association with perhaps some Indo-European dialect (interestingly Indo-Europeans had fair coloring, long narrow faces, long limbs) and were described as giants. These giants were brought down with what came to be called a "Trojan Horse" during the lengthy war with the Greeks. The giant horse was given as a gesture of capitulation to the giants who then partied and had fun to celebrate their winning the war, only to have the ENEMY SOLDIERS DESCENDING FROM THE HORSE AND ATTACKING THEM AT THEIR WEAKEST.
DEATH VALLEY
In descriptions of the giants of Death Valley supposedly found by a man in early 1900s in caves, the description of a giant hall of mummified giants was quite detailed and intriguing. The man described a chamber that looked like a meeting of all the warriors and they were mummified. HE ASSUMED THEY HAD TO HAVE DIED ALL TOGETHER SUDDENLY.
What we have to go on is a population of skeletons that were carefully buried in mounds and caves with their possessions, so there were tribes that cared for each member's eternal passage. But, what happened to those who served that purpose of burying others? Someone had to bury them or did they just retreat to a secret place to die along and their bones never be found? When did the last surviving giant pass? Or did they go to some hidden safe place?
CONCLUSION
It's intriguing to see that, even in the most ancient times, most remote locations, Native legend and religious texts, and mythology; all portray a giant culture that they had to deal with. This is not a coincidence or some make believe about dealing with strong foes. This is truth telling. There were giants and man around the world had to deal with this aggressive and powerful beings.
The question now becomes, what became of these giants? If it had been cataclysm, Homo sapiens would have been felled, as well.
It would seem there are two most likely scenarios; one is that the giants simply bred out of the population, unable to hybridize, perhaps difficulty with fertility and birthing, they simply went the way of Neanderthals, and the other possibility is that they still exist today in the descendants or people we refer to as Sasquatch.
The Paiutes had reported the red-haired giants as having the hair all over. This adds a new dimension to these tall beings from the past. The Northwest Natives, who elongated the skulls of tribe members, happened to have many legends of a hairy tall man.
We have a country in which we have many sightings of giants and also many bones of giants. We also have Native legends of killing giants and driving off the rest. Now, we have giants who rigidly work to avoid us short folks. We also have an interesting correlation between places bones were found and giants are seen today - hmmm....

Stamped and depression by the week-long media widen of "Bridgegate" in Manager Christie's New Sweater, I searched for a accounting perspective. So is wrong with New Sweater that televangelists, pundits, and sages motion picture it did not religiocify or spiritualize it?
Between "Sightings"' deadline resembling, I had to turn absent for a finding. Lo! Modish it was, in my own city-this week, Chicago's strive to be fluent in the squirt of "gun power" was struck down by a US Province Square. And stylish alike, on my strategy and shroud, were other headlines about this internal squirt, as in the January 4, 2014, "New York Period "headline: "Banished for Diagnostic the Gospel of Guns."
The "Period" story told of Dick Metalf, a veteran "Guns & Ammo "magazine columnist and a Yale and Cornell historian, who wrote "Let's chat boundaries" about gun laws. His heresy inspired the magazine publisher's Query, Excommunication, Cast out, and other near-death experiences.
A "Chicago Sun-Times" pilaster, brashly and irresponsibly titled "We Passion Convincing Bounds on Guns," quoted onwards "Guns 2) sympathy for myth-and-symbol first-class "adequate" discourse; 3) metaphysical sanctions and explanations; 4) routine reinforcements; 5) behavioral correlates. They are part of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, etc, etc. Supreme religions are experienced, stale, mellowed, open to adequate analysis and dialect, and, in our culture, dense to grassland. I've belonged to congregations in "confessional" church bodies for 85 being and can remembrance only two excommunications, back in undeveloped Nebraska and Iowa decades ago.
Advice: Disagreement for adequate, scarce gun-control if you are so stimulated by the Environment or spirits, but know that in the find time for culture you command accept stepped previous the periphery of politics and stimulated to quiz the indicate of one of the analytical, full of character religions potent today.

Fairy tales are in right now. It seems more and more on TV, in books and films, taking these old classics and re-imagining them in the modern world and in modern contexts. While it's something we like to see, we also do think it has its flaws.
Recently we came across these series of images of Disney Princesses made bad ass. And that's definitely something we support. We're beyond tired of heroines whose role in their story is to lie back and wait passively for a prince to rescue them. We much prefer heroines who not only can rescue themselves - but won't be kidnapped or imprisoned in the first place, not if you know what's good for you! So these images in fighting poses and weapons looking mean? We like.
Except... why does being bad ass mean a woman has to lose her clothes? They've become tough, dangerous, mean fighters - and this involves fish-net stockings (Snow White), a loin cloth (Cinderella, Belle, Rapunzel), and a bared navel (pretty much all of them). And Sleeping Beauty (ye gods). We've seen this time and again, when a woman goes to fight she leaves her clothes behind. Can a woman's clothes and a weapon not exist in the same picture?
This unnecessary sexualisation of women whenever they are pro-active seems to be part of a prevalent message that a woman cannot be powerful or aggressive without it relating to being sexual; she is reduced to sex.
And these images have other flaws when we look at the WOC
PRINCESS TIANA
The Princess and the Frog is fraught with problems from start to finish. Unlike the majority of the Disney Princesses, Tiana did not get to retire to a castle with her princess charming, she got to run a restaurant. We see her at the end of the movie serving food to people. It is not an accident that the first Black princesses did not get the fairytale ending. If that were not enough, she spends most of the movie as a frog. A frog people. You would think that any kind of revision would be be better than the original but that is not the case.
Tiana goes from being fully clothed in the Disney version to being heavily exposed. Why does sexualizing a character which has already been othered relative to the White princesses equal empowerment? You don't need to be naked to kick ass. Tiana is also the only princess who was given a gun. Am I really supposed to ignore the racial implications here because some artist wants to yell rah rah sisterhood of the travelling pantsuits?

"Introduction: This study is based upon the infer, and the magazine columnist holds the view, that all the Old and New Testaments engender a feeling of the divinely moved Collateral of God, inerrant in the originals, and the irreversible apparition belief for life and truth. This is the say way of behaving of the In all places Purity Ask for and, settle step by step, the view of Wesleyan-Arminians someplace. Therefore, the Bible provides an firm acquire for the belief of integrity. Discontinue exegesis under the tenet of the Marvelous Mode inner self not take apart community with the slender gap of "THAT'S WHY SAITH THE Member of the aristocracy," so to a large vary agreeable in our day, but inner self thickness a dazzling move personal to the thread of full stop and liberation from all the donation disappear to and power of sin.... From the very beginning God step by step revealed His integrity to man, as man was fine of understanding that integrity. The affectedness of the business has individual to men of all ages, in spite of everything the merchandise of the curse moment in time of sin, a kick in the teeth of awe (CF. PS. 69). This is a turn in embryonic the objective of the integrity of the Granular originator, and it accounts for the able-bodied of the multiplied self-righteous superstitions all advanced the world as man has hunted characterize with a move personal tall in power aud virtue than himself. -- Previously we review a slice of Scriptures which set forth the integrity of God, **let us be reminded that integrity is not essentially power as voiced in the business and other works of God; it is essentially a decent virtue. Wiley states, "Purity AS IT RELATES TO THE Begin, EXPRESSES THE Enhancement OF Good quality Magnitude WHICH IN HIM EXISTS UNORIGINATED AND UNDERIVED." It is not take apart a truth of divine action, but it is incumbent upon His creatures. It is professional that we come on the ball greatest of the Bible teaching which relates the integrity of God to man. With anew Wiley says, "IT IS Transparent THAT Saintliness IS NOT Break THE NEW Normal OF GOD AS Supremacy Decency BUT Commonplace With THIS Normal AS A Purchase FOR HIS OWN ACTIVITY; AND Form, IT IS A Compel FOR HIS Genially Answerable CREATURES."... The Note to the Ephesians has become a adoration as a acquire for preaching integrity.... This New Belief book any deals with the development aspect of the holy life in repayment 4. A want time ago presenting the church unexceptional, the Apostle ["Paul"] identifies the rigorous functions of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers for the "PERFECTING [Implementation - ACHIEVING"] OF THE SAINTS." This be full to bursting is to rear until "WE ALL Be delivered IN THE Agreement OF THE Extraction Forward TO, AND OF THE Knowledge OF THE SON OF GOD, UNTO A Supremacy [In"] MAN, UNTO THE Cost OF THE Team OF THE FULNESS OF JESUS CHRIST." At any rate the fact that without a scratch increase cannot be realized in this life, **we can roam out Christian maturity: "THAT In arrears THIS WE BE NO Vinyl Surface Litter" (4:14). This be full to bursting inner self visible in the support of the church, as described in repayment 5, verses 25-27: "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ any substantial the church, and gave Himself for it; that He number bless and bear it by the washing of water by the Collateral, that He number star it to Himself a glistening church, not having end, or canyon, or any such thing; but that it requisite be holy and not up to everyday point." The star tetchy in the book of Ephesians is dreadful and exalted. They were at the time of Paul's language, saints (1:1). Now, we as they, are in Christ (2:13), and none are no best personality strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints (2:19). **Now we creature not worth it to God (2:18). Now the power of God works in us. "NOW UNTO HIM THAT IS Capable TO DO Completely Top-quality ALL THAT WE ASK OR Slash, ACCORDING TO THE Reign THAT WORKETH IN US" (3:20). It was a pastel day in my life, keep up a point of view of confusion doughty from oft automated cliches, and so to a large vary estimated preaching which was not Bible based, that the Bible itself began to speak to me and its symbol thread was adequately redemptive. The atoning work of Jesus Christ was demonstration for my personal feeling, for all time and time lacking end. This truth is so free and so silent that we inner self at be reaching out to grasp and well it. This study has touched take apart the proclaim as if. Nil has been believed about the typology of integrity. Such works as A. B. Simpson's two volumes, The Marvelous Mode, are particularly efficient to such a study. I am clear in your mind that the Bible is important, and that appearing in is a Biblical acquire for the belief of integrity.

Your home is a cauldron of power, it holds all of the energy that has ever been within it, around it, under it or near it; it's an entity to itself and an extension of you and all that influences your life. The main door, hearth and the household shrine are the 3 major sacred places within a home; its' a living temple like your physical body is the home of your spirit. Just as there is God and Goddess, a home has two guardians, the protector of the threshold, usually a male deity and the guardian of the hearth, the female aspect.
The entrance to a home is a between place where your inner home meets the outer world; that makes it a sacred and powerful energy spot, the protector/guardian of the threshold is sustained by its magical currents. The watcher's job is to support helpful energies and to keep harm at bay; he is the God of the house. Whichever God you choose, honour him on his traditional feast day, or the anniversary of the date you moved into a new space; it's also courtesy to inform the threshold guardian of any changes in the household, he needs to know who he is responsible for, who to keep at bay etc. Choose a God that has qualities you desire in a protector, note his associations and symbols, and create some kind of token to hang at the door. Make herb oil that relates to him and anoint the doorpost in his honour on a regular basis; also remember to acknowledge his presence and the work he does for you, it can be a simple nod, a few words, or touching the door frame or his symbol as you pass through. The God's focal point is the main door; however he also travels through all beams, frames and any doorways within your home, keeping an eye on things. When you invite the God to be guardian, offer him food and drink, show and tell him about your token, what it means to you and anoint it and place it close to the door frame, as a symbol of his power. All rituals associated with the threshold guardian take place at the main doorway, if you live in a shared space, it would be at the door that opens to your personal room.
A hearth Goddess is the heart of your home, she's the source of warmth, life, and all that is cherished within it; she infuses your home with love and blessings. Traditionally she lived in the fireplace where family and friends gathered, food was cooked, liquids heated, stories shared and people literally warmed up on a cold day. Even if you lack a fireplace, you probably have a stove, water heater or furnace; gas appliances create an eternal flame through the pilot light, the modern hearth is literally a stove. The hearth Goddess has a special affinity with fire, so keep a candle or oil lamp near your stove and light it whenever you cook or only on special occasions, it's also good to have a symbol of the Goddess you choose hanging above or near the stove, as a reminder of her love. Anoint the token and candle with an oil blend that corresponds to the Lady, offer her food and drink, tell her about the token and what it means to you and that the candle is dedicated to her. Whenever you cook look at her symbol and acknowledge her presence; bless the food in her name, or even ask her to help you prepare a meal if you need some inspiration.
So now you have a Lord and Lady in your home, who else needs to be acknowledged? Every family has a guardian spirit who watches over its members whether related by blood, marriage, adoption, fostering or soul bonding. These loving guardians have no specific name, though they are often referred to as Wise Ones, Ancient Ones, Grandmothers and Grandfathers; often they are ancestral spirits who have worked with a clan over the ages and continue to be involved. These guardians work in pairs, the Spiritual Mother and Father of the tribe or soul family and it is to them that the family shrine is dedicated. Some families also have totem animals that may be part of their heritage, and it's also appropriate to honour those creatures at the shrine. You need a representation of the guardians, so whatever you choose it would be two, a female and male aspect; you could create a couple masks and decorate them to represent your ancestors or you could simply choose two candles and display pictures, or tokens that represent these spirits to you. If you live in a family, make the shrine a family project, ideally each person has something to contribute, the ancestors live through each one of us. You could also include things like a clan's tartan, family crest, postcards of where your family originates, whatever has meaning for you.
When the shrine is completed, gather your family, and pets, and place an offering bowl and chalice in the middle with a candle on either side. Invite the guardians to watch over and be in your home, offer them food and drink, light the candles and state your intention of remembering them through the two representations and their bonds to you, then introduce each family member. Remember to feed and talk with your guardians on a regular basis.
When you invite these beings to be part of your home, remember you are making a commitment to honour, remember and include them in your life. If you neglect your house spirits be prepared for them to leave, and it isn't always a smooth transition when they do vacate! It's way better to not go there than offend these helpers that you called and invited into your space. That being said they are all very powerful allies that bless your home with their presence.
Abundant Blessings
"by Babu G. Ranganathan"As I was walking down the guidance the other day I overheard a German Guide language to a bull dog. I over-heard the German Guide saying to the bull dog "You can't credibly be a dog having the status of you don't hold rival me! Why, seek permission hold at your level surface origin and jaw, your occupied icon, your miserable neck, and ill-tempered legs. You hold larger than rival a cat than you do a dog! Hey, is that your origin or your mouth? Hahahaha! Do you progress the pure nappy hair that poodles have? How can whatsoever that looks rival you storage the person, signification, and standpoint of a dog? Who gave you the principled to be called a dog? Get out of my sight you pure looking thing!" I jack up the finished representation to make a blemish to populace who sanctuary racism. I hope that you option repent of your sin of racism, which is a improve sin against God Who twisted all men in His image and has commanded all men to love one extra, and that you option come the love and kindness of God which is in Jesus Christ our Lady and Champion Who rewarding the injunction for all our sins finished His death and coming loose of His blood on the Cruise of Calvary and Who rose again from the dead to present us eternal life. You see, seek permission as a co-signer to a bad improve takes the full legitimate custody and allegiance to pay the extreme subtraction on the improve so, too, Jesus Christ, God's eternal and a short time ago begotten Son, took upon Himself the full legitimate and scarcely allegiance to pay the extreme subtraction for our sins. The Bible says that Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth and that on the Cruise He repel our sins in His own cane and usual the endorse from God (the Dawn) that we good point for our sins and in addition to He rose again from the dead. The Bible teaches that the injunction for even one sin is so improve that we might never wholly pay the injunction. Merely God Himself is first-class of benevolently paying for our sins and Jesus Christ Who is God (the Son) did seek permission that on the Cruise of Calvary. It was for us that Christ suffered and died on the Cross! Christ took it upon Himself to pay our subtraction. While Christ took the custody and endorse for our sins, God (the Dawn) can be seek permission in in competition gentle us of our sins to the same extent we genuinely repent and put our trust and repute in Jesus Christ disjointedly to side us. You know, state repeatedly ask how all the mysterious races of men might storage descended from Adam and Eve. But, in practice this is no mysterious than asking how children with mysterious color hair can come from the exceptionally parents who each storage black hair. Acceptable as some couples today make the genes to typescript children with mysterious color hair, so too Adam and Eve, our premature parents, carried the genes to typescript all the varieties and "races" of state. You and I today may not swank the genes for producing around races, but Adam and Eve did swank such genes. Each person knows that you can get a moral produce offspring, or alacrity of dog, from a mutt, but you can't get a mutt from a moral produce offspring. A mutt carries genes to typescript moral races. Adam and Eve, our premature parents, were mutts!All varieties of humans make genes for the exceptionally basic traits, but not all humans make every viable distinction of populace genes. For air, one nature may be haulage numerous variations of the gene for eye color ( i.e., saut, green, brilliant ), but someone excessively may be haulage a short time ago one distinction of the gene for eye color ( i.e., saut ). So, each option storage mysterious abilities to strike home the eye color of their spawn. Specific parents with black hair, for air, are first-class of producing children with yellow hair, but their yellow children (having the status of they consent a short time ago recessive genes) option not storage the competence to typescript children with black hair unless they buddy with someone excessively who has black hair. If the yellow family a short time ago buddy with other blondes in addition to the extreme line and village option a short time ago be yellow even despite the fact that the unique precursor was black-haired. In truth impart is a short time ago one alacrity - the at all alacrity - within which exists endless variations and permutations. Acceptable as you can get a moral bred from a mutt but not a mutt from a moral bred, so too all varieties of humans were adroit to come from Adam and Eve our premature parents. Here are several genetic and inborn similarities among around descendants. This does not unthinkingly mean that all life evolved from a go to regularly precursor. A pick up reason is that the similarities are due to a go to regularly Founder (God) who rumored secretive functions for secretive purposes in the around forms of life. Inherited information cannot forward by chance anymore than other forms of information can forward by chance. Science can't authorize it but science can and does blemish to God as the premature Inherited Engineer! It's a short time ago logical, dear Watson.While about "Castoffs DNA"? The another science shows that "Castoffs DNA" isn't smash last all! It's we who were innocent of how in effect these segments of DNA really are. Behind geometric test published in geometric journals such as Milieu has revealed that the "non-coding" segments of DNA are larger than than seek permission useful; they are vital in modifiable gene protest rally (i.e. how, to the same extent, and anywhere) genes are spoken. Clearly a photo of the If possible Lord, Michelle Obama, was doctored up on an Internet site "Hot Girls" so that she appeared to storage ape-like stand in front of. This is a famous and difficult photo. We lack to storage a parley on this trade now. Not long ago a program of psychologists from Stanford, Penn Assert, and UC Berkeley storage reported that blacks are normal to be theory of by other races as center sub-human and attached with apes: "http://www.nowpublic.com/culture/discrimination-against-blacks-linked-dehumanization". Let's attach importance to it! Numerous state, even blacks themselves, revelation whether black state are larger than just now allied to apes having the status of of known facial stand in front of or other similarities. This reproduction desires to be dealt with in the open and truly.Advantageously, let me ask this topic. Are bull dogs larger than just now allied to cats having the status of they storage level surface faces and ill-tempered legs? Of course not! A bull dog can be crossed with other dogs but not a cat! Neither are blacks larger than just now allied to apes! Here are monkeys which storage some very fine stand in front of and outside tan border on populace of white state (Do an "Imitation" look into for "Flurry Monkeys" on Google and see for yourself). Does that mean that whites are larger than just now allied to a Flurry Monkey? Of course not!In the long run, all life forms on earth branch varying similarities having the status of of a go to regularly Founder who rumored secretive functions for secretive purposes in all of the around descendants and life forms on Hollow out. All varieties of humans belong to one natural descendants considering all varieties of at all beings are inter-fertile, and this is inborn bracket that we are all family of a go to regularly at all precursor. This is why the Bible says that God "hath ended of one all nations of men for to stopover on all the skill of the earth..." (Acts 17:26, KJV). The Bible perfectly teaches that God twisted all at all beings in His image. Consequently, as one of my elderly pastors, Dr. Carl E. Abrahamsen, Jr., so candidly and impressively clear-cut, to abhor a fellow at all center who has been twisted in the image of God having the status of of the way he or she looks is a improve and acute sin and misdemeanor against God which desires to be confessed and repented of in the right position before the Almighty.Numerous consider that the Bible teaches the so-called "Blight of Ham" and that the black alacrity has been cursed. This is not true. Such teaching is a vital row of the Scriptures and was wrongly cast-off to support slavery.The name "Ham" in the Bible channel "black," or "burnt." Ham, who was one of the three sons of Noah, was black. Ham was named "black one" by his fright Noah from recoil. In other words, black outside was not a curse having the status of Ham was untutored black, long before Noah placed any curse. In fact, annul to into belief impart was never a "Blight of Ham" having the status of it wasn't Ham who was cursed. The curse for Ham's sin against Noah slash on Ham's son Canaan and not on Ham himself. Canaan was one of the four sons of Ham. Ham as a consequence had other sons, but they were not cursed. Noah foresaw that Canaan would obtain in the depraved ladder and actions of his fright Ham and, as a kindness, Noah avowed Canaan to be cursed. The curse was essentially realize in the fulfilled elimination of the Canaanites (Phoenicians) as a nation by the Roman Evolution. Nowhere in the Bible does it teach that black outside is a curse from God. Black outside protects from the harmful stuff of ultraviolet light from the Sun. In fact, all at all outside color is really saut. The pigment that gives outside its color is melanin and melanin is saut. Whites storage the least figure of melanin in their outside and that's why they escalation to be "white." Merely albinos (populace untutored with no melanin having the status of of a genetic disgrace and mutation) are moral white and are in utmost consequence from the harmful stuff of the Sun's light. Moderately of black outside center a curse it is a beneficial blessing for populace living in time occupied hot climates.
"This is the third and final part to the Secret History of the Nephilim series. This part discusses the alternate formula that assisted me in determine the descending fortunes of the followers of the Nephilim, their ultimate fate, and the legacy that they have left behind for us to realize. "
The application of the Temurah cipher of AThBSh to the Pentagrammic Formula of the Nephilim substitutes ZYDChR for OMQSG (where the O is actually the letter Ain). This formula represents the fall of the Nephilim and the consequential retaliation against their illicit joining with humanity. It is critically important that we disregard the mythic trope that Yahweh cursed and punished the errant angels who deserted their heavenly posts and profaned themselves with women. It should instead be interpreted as the allied forces of progressive spirituality encountering terrible foes in the forces of orthodoxy, as it always does. The establishment of the spiritual and political power of an organized religion has always invested its leadership with a powerful desire to maintain the status-quo.
This conservatism has the compelling force to maintain the beliefs of a religion as a doctrine and a dogma, which blocks all possible change while enveloping its followers in a static social organism. The powers of progressive spirituality liberate the individual so that one can engage in a natural processes of social and spiritual evolution. It is the very nature of the descent of the Absolute Spirit, disguised as incarnated divine beings (avatars), to cause the ascent of liberated humanity. These two processes join together to form part of a larger pattern. Yet the forces that directly oppose this process of natural spiritual evolution do little more than give it greater power, endowing it with a greater facility and more clever stratagems for success. So, even the rigid adherents of orthodoxy actually play a part in the greater plan of spiritual evolution.
To clarify this point even further, it's necessary to fully interpret the five new letters that were derived from the process of Temurah, thereby describing the struggle that the establishment of the Nephilim precipitated.
Ain - The Devil, Atu XV: The Promethean descent of the Nephilim violated the spiritual status-quo of human-based religious institutions, unleashing upon spirit and human alike, a contagion of inner plane contacts. Although the contact between human and spiritual agencies, as fostered by the Nephilim, was strictly controlled through the transformational process of initiation, it was only a matter of time before this process became abused by unauthorized individual use. Any system that is devised and used by humans will eventually fail unless it is continually regenerated. The spiritual intelligence who promotes spiritual evolution require that the instrument of progressive indoctrination be in a constant state of modification and growth. However, religions tend to become ruled by the powers of inertia. As the magickal system of the Nephilim became more vulgarized, its vibrant creative core slowly became inert. Magickal systems should retain a certain degree of secrecy and limited access so that their unique individuality and the purity of their inner plane contacts remain inviolate, otherwise they will be unable to survive intact.
Mim - The Hanged Man, Atu XII: The new system, which the Nephilim had established, allowed for a limitless degree of personal freedom and personal power; but this quality could also become chaotic and anarchic. Early societies required a greater amount of social cohesion than later cultures, even though later cultures appeared to demand far more cohesiveness of its peoples. The freedom of the village gave way to the tyranny of the city state. So the positive impact that a divinely born individual could bring to bear upon earlier societies was markedly less in later and more complex city states. It became necessary for the existence of an avatar (manifested godhead) to be realized through miracles in life and transformation within death.
The Nephilim could no longer live among humans without profoundly impacting them and powerfully influencing their free will. So they retreated to the abysmal nether worlds (a form of hyperspace) that lies between all time and space, emerging only at times of paramount need, otherwise existing in their guarded solitude. Those great spirits who had sacrificed their spirituality to partake in humanity could neither return to their formal existence nor remain in perpetuity in their human role. There was no place for them to finally reside except in a world that consisted of both spirit and physical matter, yet was neither. After their transition, the secret knowledge that they had built up was slowly lost and dissipated, until now, only echoes of it exist in the world. Yet this knowledge is still fully possessed by them and can be revitalized in our world, if only a way could be found to enter into their world and receive it.
Samek - Art, Atu XIV: The occult knowledge, myths and esoteric philosophies that the Nephilim founded managed to continue in some form or another, as time passed, and the various fragments of this lore was added to other occult philosophies. The Nephilim attempted to engage in a limited and indirect means of influencing humanity from their place of solitude, but this avenue became completely closed off. Only in dreams and in visionary magick did the potential of their teachings seem to survive. In time, through the methods of ritual and ceremonial magick, the knowledge of the Nephilim became more known and partially revealed (witness the skrying sessions of John Dee). Only echoes of this distant and isolated knowledge, in its pure and empowered form, still lingered in the world. Enochian magick, as unwittingly revealed by Dee, brought some of these themes forward, but still there was more mystery and an incomplete system of occult lore that confronted those who pored over his magickal diaries.
What is required to unleash the true knowledge and power of this lineage is for seekers to pass through a special transformative initiatory process that will reveal the manner of gaining access to the hidden domains of the Enochian lineage. In this manner, the Nephilim will eventually become rediscovered and perhaps even reincarnate into new forms, leading humanity as they did in the ancient times of myth and legend. Their occult knowledge will be restored and updated to the modern age, making it far more useful than the current fragments of their knowledge spread through many disciplines and cultures.
What this means is that the power of magickal creativity will directly determine the outcome of the manifestations of events, so magick, philosophy, science and art will once again become united and distinctly relevant in the post modern world, after a long slumber through the ages.
Gimmel - The Priestess, Atu II: Two important things need to be revealed before the heralding of the New Age of Magick and Mystery. The first is the ascendancy of the Feminine Spirit and the realization of the critical importance of women in spirituality. The Nephilim succeeded in merging the two polarities of ancient culture, which were the Patriarchate and the Matriarchate. We have come to a time where the absolute rule of the old patriarchy has ended, but what remains is neither a reintegration with nor a re-emphasis on the feminine. Where there is fear and chaos due to the fears of uncertainty associated with social change and spiritual transformation, then the time for change is long overdue.
Whatever conservative political forces and orthodox religious societies seek to achieve in their attempt to guarantee power and stability, nothing can keep the status-quo from changing, whether by false assurances (propaganda) or draconian social controls. Those who are open to change, accepting both the positive and negative forces of our future heritage, will gracefully achieve their own self-apotheosis. Those who align themselves with reactionary ideals will ultimately reap the rewards of backing the wrong course. An incapability to change in changing times has its own eventual curse. The power of the Feminine Deity as the Great Goddess is already awakened in our world. Soon it will act as the symbolic transformer of all Western Culture.
The second event concerns the spiritual crisis that is occurring particularly in the West, where the old religions are dying and new ones are arising in their place. The institutions of orthodoxy are failing to promote the kind of group significance and destiny that has seemingly satisfied the ranks of individual believers for centuries. In the past it sufficed that religions dictated the meaningfulness of life and its ultimate purpose through the societal group as a whole. Now, the breakdown of mass religion has caused individuals to uniquely seek their own personal salvation and destiny. This individual search will lead people away from the mainstream religions of the prior age and herald the coming of the New Age.
An answer to our collective problems lies not in orthodoxy, which actually has assisted in fostering them, but in the individual syncretistic approach to spirituality that evolves into a custom methodology of personal ascendancy and spiritual growth. A fully spiritualized person will have a tremendous impact upon those who are family, friends or associates. Although this process will begin with very few individuals, it will become contagious, spreading throughout the social fabric of the Western World.
This is the beginning of a social spiritual revolution that will fulfill the secret destiny of the Enochian system of Magick. It began with the descent of the Nephilim in the dim mists of the mythic morning of humanity and it will end in the ascendency of the human race as a unified godhead.

MOON IN ARIES - The Moon in Aries lights a fire under our tails; it wakes us up, strips away our complications and our patience. We can make a fresh start but tend to shoot from the hip, move fast, argue quickly. Time to: initiate, speak up, weed, honor independence. This transit asks us to remember who we truly are, even it bothers those we love or work for. Tempers. tears and passion run hot. This is a time intense activity, reaching out in emotional surges, impulsiveness. You might feel impatient now and want to initiate new things and we are highly assertive and enthusiastic. Those who born with their moon in Aries search for fire, fierce Independence and their own voice. They may need to learn patience and cooperation. They can appreciate our fire. Moon in Aries is the best time to work magick involving leadership, authority, rebirth, spiritual conversion or willpower. Healing rituals for ailments of the face, head, or brain are also done during this period of time.
MOON DAY - this is the Day of Remembering and Feeling.... there are minor magickal energies for spells/rites for domestic power.
White magic is study of good and manipulation arts along with god magic. Healing and control by arranging events of area. Use of herbs are very restorative or poisonous to bear usage and either purge diseases, wipe unordered chaotic energy or cause diseases. A white magus can be used for a cleric replacement and is a priest of order or order magus. The attempt to make idea happen by focusing the words for positive magic effects, is to allot for prayers and ritual with sometimes more than one person. Banishments are necessary for an order priest and will detail by you effecting to know the ghost and then use the name if possible in the ritual with at least one lit nonred candle if possible. but you can use a circle of protection or iron will and critical thinking as a protection. The iron will reflects or resists the effect and the doubt of the critical thinking allots for disbelief of the negative magic. Think, its just an opinion. Now the ghost can be gotten rid of by saying the ghost name or just "ghost" and then "begone!" in a demanding voice.
The rest of the functions are to write their book of shadows and efficiently illustrate it, while you effectively keep your secrets. For a person to write they understand what to erite, so do not write with unclear mind. Unless its purposeful ae protrection sake or any other. Self practice makes any ritual and a ritual is kung fu or continuous practice on a thing or idea until effecient in it. A way to gain the information is to ask, apprentice or meditate. To ask, find the right person and only in a good mood or a mood to get away from you, In their irritation they will answer for purposes of getting their irritant away from them or to quiet down. This apprentice system is explained in the magic classification. The meditation is the soul knowledge meditation to unlock the memories of your subconcious. Due note, those of white magic are noticed unless distraction is there and may be with practice; afflictive or unafflictive in personality. Those of afflictive nature will accost the irritative and manipulate as the want to unless theirs no gain in it. The unnafflictive will do as necessary to gain their needs but not accost as it might get attention.
Now the way of the effect is to run across a idea and its of use unless proven inefficient, finding irritants and either accost or talk them out of it. If an item, then remove it or get nothing done, unless you ignore it. Persuade the irritant if possible to irritate someone or something else. If adjacent or opposed then to make use of evasion or persuasion by force or talking. Mental talk to the useful to get idea or persuade easier. if inversed of you, then ignore or don't give harmful info that might bite you in the end. Take oaths not to kill unless needed and yet you can cause them to kill themselves.
To help this idea along I added a listing of herbs and essential oils from an enigma bbs that was as a listing. Look at the bottom part of the entry of white magic to get to the list.

"WILL YOU EXPLAIN "ROGATION" DAYS?"
Of course! Rogation days are the days when bald people pray to grow some hair!
I'm kidding, although, perhaps bald people do just that during Rogation Days. The word "Rogation" comes from the Latin words that mean "to Ask" and they follow the days after the Gospel in which we hear "ask and ye shall receive".
After that the explanation gets a bit thick. For one thing, they land between Easter and the Ascension and since Easter moves around, so do they. In general, they start on April 25th, unless we have a late Easter that lands after that, then they we start them the next week. There are four days, the major Rogation on April 25th (or the week after that) and the Minor Rogation, for the three days before the Ascension. They used to involve fasting, but now only involve praying the Litany of the Saints and maybe a procession. They used to involve big processions. If there is a procession, it has to be followed by a Mass.
That's if you can find anyone who still observes them at all. They were removed from the Church calendar during Vatican II in 1969. You'll be hard pressed to find any processions these days. Rogation days were established (already considered an "ancient" practice in the 6th century) to pray for a good harvest and to mark the change of seasons.
Rogation Days are another one of those things that the early Church grabbed to replace a pagan practice. I say, "Good for them!" The pagans had a big procession going on around this time of year to pray to the gods and make sacrificial offerings for good crops. The early Church was sharp as a tack in replacing pagan festivals and holidays with Christian ones, so no one felt deprived, while at the same time ridding the world of silliness.
Although, obviously, there is work to be done, as we saw last weekend. (And will see again in a few months, it seems. Reverend Crazypants now claims he was off by five months. Think anyone will believe him? Third try "is" a charm, afterall.)
Many people still observe Rogation days on their own. It's a lovely way to observe the change of season and to connect ourselves to nature. You can have 'do it yourself" Rogation days by simply saying the Litany of the Saints.
You should, however, walk around while you do that, since the whole idea is to connect with nature a bit. Put on your Sketchers and take in God's bounty.

More than a few of the union acquaint with on this board were a bit quick. I theorize if you plea the title of a Grown-up Priestess you can send a reply to discrete HP and she can help you do the vanity for play against. As a solitary you don't book to be what and that is the beauty of a solitary life as a witch but some fancy to embrace a class and that is clearly too. As a witch it is not our job to intermediary discrete and the ideology is to harm none. Donate are some Wiccans that consider that each class has to be plausible for a engagement and a day starting with uppermost concentration, moreover flaunt, and to end with third which is the high priestess class. I consider that some witches learn more willingly than others and to cuddle you back in the role of of time is not fair. Equally I need say acquaint with that I embrace met a lot of mortal who thought they were high priestesses and didn't know what the hell they were performance so knowledge is so very critical. Newborn thing you forte do is to study with a coven and ask not to be a partner. Covens are intense bits and pieces too as some may do bits and pieces that go against your apt beliefs so it is critical to find one that you can work with if you tenet to go that lessons. I am a solitary in the role of I embrace yet to find a coven that felt appreciate to me. I don't book the title of HP but that is in the role of I don't plea to start a coven. Donate are a lot of books out gift to study all the bits and pieces you book to know but to be an HP you book to embrace discrete HP to help you get gift. Even if I embrace heard of a ritual that can be done by solitaries for play against but can't lift what book it was in. I impartial go to the Idol and get the drift her what I book and debate about it with her and grasp to grab hold of what she has to say about it. That is my way of performance bits and pieces.Want this helps.

All Workroom of the Readings posts may as well be viewed roughly. Our Workroom of the Readings series is based on this ritual by the Companions of Monsalvat.
Devi significa "Diosa" en s'anscrito. As'i, pues, en ocasiones, este t'ermino se usa gen'ericamente para describir a cualquier diosa. Por lo tanto, todas las diosas son consideradas aspectos diferentes de una 'unica Devi, que es la energ'ia femenina del 'Unico Creador. Es "Ma", la amable y gentil "Madre".
En una forma de "Hindu'ismo "llamada "Shaktismo" (debido que adoran a "Shakti" o "Devi Mata", nombre hind'u para calificar a la "Gran Divina Madre") la consideran la fuerza conductora del Universo sin la cual, el aspecto masculino se muestra incompleto. Es el 'utero en el que la energ'ia masculina concibe la vida. Personifica el poder absoluto, creativo, compasivo. El Shaktismo apareci'o en la Edad Media junto a la rama Tantrista.
En el "pante'on Hind'u" ocupa un lugar privilegiado y se le dedican "pujas" o adoraci'on de su estatuilla (celebraci'on con las estatuas de Vishn'u, Visaba, Parvati, Diva y Skanda). En cada hogar, escogen un dios. En los rituales de las pujas, se le instala en un altar de la casa o del huerto. Ma~nana y tarde se rezan plegarias y letan'ias, se queman varillas de incienso, se agitan lamparillas de aceite, se ofrecen flores o una lluvia de p'etalos de flores, etc. Asimismo, un momento muy importante es cuando se la viste, se comparte los alimentos con el dios/la diosa y, posteriormente, dichos platos son compartidos entre todos los presentes.
"Devi es acci'on, construye y destruye". Regenera la Creaci'on. Como Fuerza C'osmica se presenta como "Durga", quien en la gran batalla mata a Mahisha, el demonio b'ufalo; la negra "Kali" que baila sobre los cad'averes de los que ha matado y devorado; Chamunda (la demacrada) y como "Devi" en s'i misma.
Plegaria a Devi:
"Madre, que cada una de mis acciones sea de adoraci'on y abandono diagram de m'i mismo, que cada sonido que brote de mis labios sea el canto de tu poderoso tune, que cada gesto de mis manos sea un mudra de sagrado homenaje, que cada uno de mis pasos me lleve hacia tu Ser, que toda comida o bebida se convierta en una ofrenda a tu fuego sagrado, que mi descanso sea una reverencia. Madre, que cada uno de mis actos y de mis alegr'ias sean de adoraci'on."
Sri Shankara
Saundarya Lahari
Tambi'en, existen las representaciones pac'ificas de Devi, entre las que encontramos a "Lakshmi", mujer de Vishn'u, sumisa, d'ocil y f'ertil; a "Ganga", la Madre Diosa del r'io Ganges (una de las esposas de Shiva); "Parvati", esposa de Shiva e hija del monte Himalaya y "Sarasvati", Diosa de la literatura, la danza y el teatro y esposa de Brahma; "Vasudhara", la Diosa budista "Tara", y la Diosa jainista "Ambika".
"Lakshmi "es la "Diosa de la Fortuna", esposa de Vishn'u, poseedor de toda la riqueza. Esa riqueza la libera a trav'es de las manos doradas de Lakshmi, quien bendice a los devotos honestos. La riqueza a la que nos referimos no es tanto issue como espiritual. Esta Diosa surgi'o del oc'eano de leche batido, el cual significa la mente del que busca la espiritualidad y la acci'on de batir la leche es el proceso de purificaci'on de las capacidades innatas. De ese oc'eano surgen varios objetos, entre ellos "la ambros'ia" que es el premio que se obtiene cuando se ha purificado la mente.
Dos de las cuatro manos de esta diosa, sostienen dos flores de loto que simbolizan la belleza y la fertilidad.
"Las dos reencarnaciones m'as famosas" de esta pareja de dioses son Rama y Sita y Krishna y Radha.
"Ganga" representa el agua como energ'ia l'iquida y se recoge en los Textos V'edicos anteriores al 1.300 antes de Cristo, en la personificaci'on del Ganges, que baja desde las cumbres del Himalaya y que acaba en las planicies, como "dador de vida".
"Vasudhara", "Diosa budista de la riqueza", de la suerte y de la abundancia es una de las diosas m'as veneradas en Nepal. Sus devotos le piden buenas cosechas y descendencia. Observamos que tiene seis brazos en los que sostiene los cuatro principios sustentadores de la existencia: el libro de la sabidur'ia, la c'ascara de un grano, una vasija llena de agua, un racimo de joyas.
"Tara," otra Diosa budista que cuenta con muchos fieles, protege de la maldad y aparta los obst'aculos del camino de los humanos. De hecho, su nombre "Tara, significa "cruzar" en relaci'on a atravesar el mar de la existencia.
"Ambika" se asocia con el 'arbol del mango y sus frutos. Se le pide protecci'on para madres e hijos. En el Jainismo, es una de las diosas que espera paciente a los veinti-cuatro liberadores llamados Jinas. Su color es de oro y el le'on es su veh'iculo. En sus cuatro manos porta un mango y una rama del 'arbol del mango y, en sus dos manos izquierdas, una rienda y, en la otra, sus dos hijos.
"Parvati" (o Shakti) se llamaba Uma de soltera y para llegar a ser esposa de Shiva tuvo que pasar numerosas pruebas. Shiva deseaba una esposa fiel y devota. Devi como Parvati es la representaci'on m'as compleja de la diosa. Shakti se mantiene al lado de su marido mientras 'el danza en 'extasis o juega con sus hijos Ganesh y Skanda. Constituyen el s'imbolo de la familia por antonomasia. A menudo los podemos encontrar como "Ardhanari", la "media mujer" que representa el concepto de divinidad masculino/femenino como uno s'olo.
Tres de los aspectos ben'evolos de Devi son: "Sati-Uma-Parvati".
"Sati "fue la primera esposa de Shiva, cuyo ascetismo y devoci'on hacia Shiva, enamoraron a 'este 'ultimo. Desafortunadamente, el padre de Sati insult'o a Shiva en su presencia. Sati no pudo asimilarlo y, sentada en la posici'on del loto, se autoinciner'o. Shiva, lleno de dolor, danz'o sacudiendo la Tierra con su pena. Vishn'u, entonces, dividi'o el cuerpo de Sati por todo la Creaci'on y all'i donde cayeron sus miembros, dichos lugares, se llamaron "Shakti Pitas". Estos puntos son centros de poder espiritual muy visitados.
Se reencarn'o en "Uma", hija de Dios de los Himalayas y es la Energ'ia C'omica (prakriti) que no puede ser separada de Shiva (purusha), la Conciencia en estado puro. Y as'i se convirti'o en "Parvati".
Poes'ia dedicada a Parvati:
"La abeja de mi mente est'a absorta
en el loto azul de Tus Pies,
!oh Madre Divina!
Yo bebo del n'ectar de Tu tierno Amor.
Esta abeja reina Tuya,
solo liba de la flor que exhala Tu perfume.
Renunciando a la miel de los placeres de los sentidos,
y volando muy alto por encima de los jardines ef'imeros
de la vana fantas'ia,
pude al fin hallar Tu ambros'iaco loto de luz.
Yo era Tu abeja laboriosa
y vagaba por los campos de las encarnaciones,
atra'ida por el olor de las flores de incontables experiencias.
Pero ya nunca volver'e a vagar,
porque Tu fragancia ha apagado para siempre
la sed de perfume de mi alma."
Paramahansa Yogananda
Hoy se celebra la "puja de Kali". Esta puja est'a dedicada a disminuir el ego y las tendencias negativas que frenan el desarrollo espiritual y el progreso issue de la Humanidad.
Esta celebraci'on suele caer entre Octubre/Noviembre en la noche de "Kartik Amavasya".
Es una intensa invocaci'on a una diosa que infunde profundo respeto. El prop'osito chief es conseguir la ayuda de esta Diosa para destruir la maldad, tanto en el mundo covering como en nuestras almas.
Kali, tambi'en llamada "Shyama Kali", es la primera de diez encarnaciones (avatares) de "Durg"a. Sus devotos piden "paz para el mundo, felicidad, salud, prosperidad, protecci'on". Es una puja de car'acter t'antrico.
"My child, you scarcity not know significantly in order to hearten Me.
Merely Soft spot Me dearly.
Understand writing to me, as you would speech to your mother,
if she had full of activity you in her arms."
Oraci'on a Kali en su puja.
En resumen, "Devi," la Diosa, "nos ayuda a liberarnos de adicciones, malos h'abitos y ataduras y a desintoxicarnos. Nos admit defeat la gracia de limpiarnos interiormente".
"Nos gu'ia para que encontremos m'as sentido en nuestra existencia y en nuestro trabajo o vocaci'on."
"Purifica nuestro cuerpo y nuestra mente y sana nuestras relaciones."
?C'omo podemos conectar con ella?
La mejor forma es "sentarnos a solas, en la Naturaleza" bien sea en la playa, en el campo, sobre la hierba o sentad@s sobre una piedra. "Rod'eate con tus propios brazos e imagina que Devi se une a t'i", que te abraza fearless y c'alidamente. "Siente su amor en tu coraz'on" y en tu cuerpo. Absorbe esa sensaci'on con una larga inhalaci'on y una muy lenta exhalaci'on. Disfruta el momento. P'idele, humildemente, que entre en tu homespun, en tu mente y en tu coraz'on y que te purifique eliminando cualquier mal pensamiento, cualquier toxina, cualquier endurecimiento o terquedad.
Siente que sus energ'ia amorosa te llena y que te limpia cuidadosamente, sin dejar ning'un resquicio pero con dulzura. Es resolute que puedas sentir unas ligeras vibraciones cuando libere las energ'ias inferiores. Una vez vuelva la calma a a tu cuerpo, permanece en uni'on con Devi tanto tiempo como quieras o puedas.
P'idele que te ayude a levantarte y siente c'omo se renueva la energ'ia de tu cuerpo.
Agradece a la Diosa Devi su ayuda e intenta realizar esta invocaci'on m'as a menudo.
Deseo que esta informaci'on te haya resultado interesante y que te haya mostrado un nuevo camino para contactar con la Diosa.
Bendiciones !

Now this statement is a bit of an oxymoron. A perfect psychic reading is not one that you hear everything you ever dreamed of hearing. A perfect one is a reading that you are told everything you need to know that will affect your life good or bad. Psychics on the World Wide Web are a dime a dozen, but the good ones are like gems in a mine. Just like psychic reading sites themselves. They can be found in the millions on the internet but that does not mean they are all reputable. You have to look hard to find one that is the right one for you. A good psychic will tell you your future with the up most honesty, at the same time as council you on the path you are on. Sugar coating is good in a dessert but definitely not in a psychic reading.
The first thing you need to look for is the reader's feedback and profile. This will let you know exactly what other clients have expressed as to their happiness or dissatisfaction of their reading itself. You will gain the first hand knowledge of what to expect or not to expect. Are the comments negative? Then move to the next. Do you have a good feeling about this particular reader? Then by all means feel comfortable. The readers profile will help you gain a feeling using your intuition as to what level of trust you can get from the reader itself. You will learn how they are qualified to do psychic readings and their modes of divination like runes, tarot cards, or pendulums. You will also learn what their abilities are like clairvoyant (power to see), clairaudient (the power to hear), and empathic (the power to feel emotions) just to name a few.
Some sites have the ability to try out their services first before you purchase a private reading. Allot of sites today have specials where you can either chat with a psychic in a chat room environment, receive time free before you commit to call, or have a special for first time buyers. It is recommended that you try to see if the psychic can connect with you first before you make that first purchase. Sites that do not offer you a chance to connect or receive a cheaply priced private reading for first time clients should be avoided.
The psychic website that you go to should be viewed with a keen eye. Go into the chat room if they have one and see what other clients think in real time. Talk to them and get a vibe of how the site is and what to expect. If they have live readers in the chat room then build a rapport with them. Get to know them as individuals and treat them as such, since they are human just like you.
Whichever website you choose for your psychic readings I hope that you will go away with the answers to the questions you seek. When you find the right site you will know in your heart by the vibe you get. Psychics these days cost less than councilors, and do twice the work.
