EASTER WAS A PAGAN FERTILITY FESTIVAL

The Church of Rome adopted all the pagan festivals because the people wouldn’t give them up.

Christmas was midwinter: Yule:

Easter, spring equinox. A sabbat dedicated to the goddess Eostar.

Every church festival was originally a pagan festival.

MISCONCEPTIONS

I realize some people still equate witches with evil people who sacrifice animals.

From Facebook 😛

Not us!

“Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfil

An it harm NONE

Do what thou will”

The concept that witches were evil began at the inquisition when the Church of Rome was trying to get rid of  the Old Religion and the women herbalists.

witch hunts

The Satanists, who we are sometimes equated with, got their ideas from Malleus Maleficarum, which is about  how to torture people to get them to say they are witches and not about witchcraft as it says if you Google!

Our rituals are similar to American Indian rituals –at least the one I am aware of, which is Sioux tradition.

***

I will not kill anything — Not spiders: mice: insects: trees –

I believe everything that exists has consciousness and deserves respect.

I have cried on many occasions because I haven’t been able to save a bird: animal or  reptile that had been  hit by a car – at least I move them off the road so that they are not continuously run over.

I get upset when moths throw themselves at the window to get to the light.

This doesn’t mean there are not people out there calling themselves witches and killing animals.

Male witches are called witches,

so if someone claims to be a warlock be suspicious.

***

The following words had different meanings once:

Wicca meant wise or to bend

Heathen = dweller on the heath

Pagan = village dweller

Weird = magic

Sinister = left-handed

***

Blessed be

and be kind to non humans

Me at the first Australian Wiccan conference

“This above all: to thine own self be true.”(Hamlet act 1, scene 3)

This was the first blog that I wrote in April 2012.

Being true to ones self is much more than just being honest. This Shakespeare quote is how I try to live my life.

Our culture operates on the assumption that people are honest and truthful yet this often isn’t so.

On a “white lie” level; how often do people say what they think the other person wants to hear or simply tell a lie to get attention? Sadly, lying, cheating stealing and scams are rampant. On the other hand one could argue that telling the truth is not always kind.

I feel so strongly about telling the truth as I believe it to be that even if I accidentally lie I feel guilty. What I write I believe either to be true or possible. I am not “into” absolute ideologies, so I acknowledge this is only my opinion.

The following is from  Marion Weinstein’s “Positive Magic” (page 234; Positive Magic: Earth Magic productions New York; 1st published in 1978 by Simon & Schuster Pocket Books New York)

“Makeru, or The Word of Truth

The concept of Ma’Keru, or Maat, was a highly regarded state of being in ancient Egypt. In fact, it was always hoped that by  the time a person died, he/she would have reached this state of personal evolution. The word itself is difficult to translate. In hieroglyphics, it look like

Witches who trace their own traditions back to the early Egyptian Mysteries still intergrate the concept of Ma’Keru, Maat, or The Word of Truth into their work. Once one has attained Ma’Keru, every word that is spoken literally comes true. The greater Gods and Goddesses were in this state, and you too may strive for it – as the witches do, in essence -for yourself. This state is attained by being very careful to say exactly only what one means. Consequently, “idle chatter, or lying” serves only to dissipate the truth and the Power. In our own lives, this means: Watch what you say! Say what you mean, and mean what you say.”

In my life time society’s attitude to clairvoyance and associated philosophy’s has improved along with attitudes to minority groups such as women; different races; sexual preference; etc.

Although there are still many “out there” who consider clairvoyance to be a con at best and evil at worst.

People are free to believe as they choose and I have no desire to alter people’s beliefs or opinions.

I do not require others to believe as I do to make it true.

The clairvoyants that I know (including myself) are genuine and honest and coming from integrrity. I am very aware that there are charaltans who are more interested in making money than helping people. How prevalent this is, is dificult to ascertain. I was made aware of a scam last century where people who went for readings were told that an “hex” had been put on them and were told it would cost $2,000 to remove same. No doubt similar scams still happen.

The way to avoid being conned is to tust ones “gut”! To quote or maybe para phrase Dr. Deepak Chopra: We should always trust our gut. Every cell in our bodies has neuropeptides which means every cell thinks. It is better to trust your gut because it hasn’t learned to doubt what it thinks.

I am able to “see and communicate” with people that have died as well as other discarnate beings. I know that my clairvoyant ability is genuine because I was extremely sceptical in the 1970’s when I first participated in Spiritualist psychic developement groups. I made sure that I was being honest with myself so that I knew that I was really “seeing”.

Everyone is clairvoyant. Because we live in a culture that denies  the existence of this ability; the ability atrophies.

When I “see”(clairvoyance); “hear” (clairaudience) or “feel” (clairsensience); it flashes in a fraction of a second. The Spiritualists would train us to remembr by putting numerous items on a tray: Covering same with a tea towel; removing towel for a fraction of a second and then cover the items again. We had to see how many items we could remember and describe.

Knowing that I have helped someone by proving that their loved one is genuinely communicating is my greatest reward. I am not interested in the payment, although I don’t refuse the money. I have done readings for an exchange or for free in some circumstances.

My first paid reading for the public was in 1980 when I worked in a coffee lounge called “The Sixth Sense” which was in O’Connell Street, North Adelaide.

Despite my clairvoyant awareness and experiences I do not claim to understand the nature of reality. I have my theories but am also aware that these theories are limited by the cultural and personal concepts that I have. Even analogies cannot really help me understand this multi universe and what is beyond.

I realize that I have gone off on a tangent from the original title but this is something that I often do so in essence I am still being  true to myself.

Long before the movie “The Matrix” came out I used to say to people  in my psychic development groups  —“Imagine we are in a virtual reality.” The movie “the Matrix” is creatively brilliant. The surreal colour: The names of the characters: The way the dialogue was presented: the social satire. And it questions “what is real”

(I awoke this morning thinking of how people believed my mother’s lies

I loved her despite 63 years of her physical and mental abuse

People would lecture me and treat me  with contempt for being horrible to my mother

She also told lies about my Dad

One story he was abusive (not true)

Another slept with other women

Another he was gay

As a child I knew when people were lying and presumed everyone did)

The clairvoyant Experiences of a Sceptic is not a literary masterpiece

but a true story.

I dont know the meaning of life:

nor understand the nature of reality:

I do know physical death is not the end.

And there are so many amazing stories omitted so as not to break client confidentiality.

The second part I wrote as therapy and had not intended to include.

It wasn’t included in the original l publication

( I started shaking when I tried to write about the abuse so it is badly written and a great deal omitted)

 

POPULATION

For those who don’t want to know that the human plague is making all life extinct because they believe they cannot do anything about it

KUNG FU TZ   (Confucius) SAY—- “Better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness”

me age three

When I was growing up the population of the whole of Australia was 9million

And the majority lived in the eastern states

Dad at Northfield

Dad’s Harley Davidson

The suburbs in South Australia were basically small country towns

We moved from Northfield to Salisbury

Which still had horse troughs in the main street and there were still farms with return veranda houses

Dad building a shed at Salisbury North

We didn’t lock our homes or our cars

In the hot weather we slept on the front lawn

Small businesses treated people as valued customers

The bus driver would drop children off at their front door if it were raining

I could phone home from a public phone box even if I had no money

I just asked the operator to put me through

Everyone was friendly and they helped each other

Salisbury is now the suburb from hell

I have always loved being in nature and often ridiculed for it.

In the 1980s we bought 30 hectares of mallee at Swan Reach and i loved it there.

My first husband told me that i could keep it when we went through property settlement but sadly i had to sell it to pay solicitors fees in my second divorce.

me on Kangaroo island in the 1980s

I didnt realize when i was young that i was feeling the energy

i know now thanks to social media that others feel the healing enegy of nature

When I first moved to Goolwa it was basically a country town

Everyone said “Hello” whether they knew you or not

And small businesses treated us like valued customers and friends

These days no one says hello unless they know you

People are rude and impatient and only a few small businesses have been able to afford to stay in business

The meaning behind my story is that the human plague isn’t just bad for the ecology and other life forms it is bad for humans too

 A SHORT STORY ABOUT HEALING THE  BLUE PLANET

I wrote and published this sci fi short story a few years ago (under the above title) when the human population was only 7.4 billion:

(1st published 4th April 2017)

It is now more than 8.4 billion.

I wrote this short story as social satire and sympathetic magic

The idea that we were genetically engineered is from Mayan writings plus my belief that humans are not indigenous to the planet

The concept of translocation was once a practice pre Roman Empire and apparently still is in some so called primitive cultures

The idea that humans were livestock for the gods is mine but am sure others have thought this

I chose Ophiuchus because I was I was drawn to this constellation

I chose Kunapipi because I respect and admire the wisdom and spirituality of indigenous Australians I started writing the prequel the same year 2017 –but I still haven’t finished it – I lose my motivation because I don’t like scary stuff and it is where humans are grown as live stock by the “gods” –maybe I’ll finish it this year

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT READS AND OR COMMENTS ON MY POSTS  —It is good to know people care about other life forms

AHIMSA

I tried my best to practice ahimsa before I was aware of this word/concept

Impossible in a culture that believes only humans have a soul and only money matters

from Facebook

As a child I got a bashing for not wanting to eat meat:

The same meal served to me for breakfast lunch and tea until I ate it:

And my mother threatened to have me put in a mental institution

I believe everything that exists has a consciousness and I respect and give thanks to everything I use

And of course I talk to  plants

I wish I was still living in my house by the sea with trees and wildlife— it was a sanctuary of life

we were recently informed that pest control were putting out baits (in this retirement village) to kill rats — to keeps snakes away

Rats have every right to be here

And speaking from personal experience snakes move away from us

taken by me on Kangaroo island last century

Would those of you who realize other life forms have a right to be here

Please send (or pray for) protection for all creatures that most humans label as vermin or kill to keep away from crops

This  includes birds, kangaroos, snails, mice, rats. beetles, insects etc.

INTENTION IS WHAT MATTERS AND EMOTION EMPOWERS

I wrote and published this sci fi short story a few years ago when the human population was only 7.4 billion:

My  daughter suggested this book— everyone is clairvoyant our culture programmes you to belief that you are not –I ran psychic development groups for years and almost everyone whom attended was at least able to see auras –

I’m including the audio of the meditation we used at the start of the session

My mentor told me You must work at it”

Kung fu tz  (Confucius) say “Perseverance prospers”

So don’t give up – you will succeed

And use the recorded meditations in my blogs

THANKING OUR BODY

This is from  a meditation group that I attended in 1980 – the man running the group played the tape and I was able to get a copy

Unfortunately I no longer have this tape so cannot credit the lady who first recorded it

Me with my granddog

I apologize for the background noise in this but as it isn’t an actual meditation where the consciousness is in alpha it should not matter

A CREATIVE MEDITATION

CREATIVE CONSCIOUSNESS MEDITATION

This is a visualization meditation

You create  a sacred space which you use for healing

talking with friends

solving problems

creating anything that you wish

I recorded this guided meditation for a psychic development group that I  was running, at participants request

I have put it  in writing to bring down your guides for the first time as it isn’t included in the audio

And there is a mistake in the audio near end of meditation

The colours and numbers take your consciousness to alpha.

MEDITATION

Relax: centre: and protect yourself.

Breathe deeper and slower that you normally would.

Visualize the colour RED and know that you are becoming more relaxed.

Now visualize ORANGE

YELLOW
GREEN
BLUE: you are very relaxed and calm now.

INDIGO

VIOLET

You are now on a beach. Feel the sand between your toes. Smell the sea air. Hear the seagulls and the thunder of the waves. Stay here a while relaxing.

You see an hole in the cliff face and start walking toward this.

You enter and find yourself in a cave lit by phosphorescent fungi.

There are steps going down.

You descend these steps.

12;11;10;9;8;7;6;5;4;3;2;1

There is a door in front of you.

You open this door.

This is your sacred space:

You create this yourself.

The more that you use this meditation the more powerful it will become.

Have an elevator to the right at the back to bring people down for healing; problems solving; or just to talk to.

Always send them back up.

The first time you go to you sacred space you bring down a male & female guide.

They stay here. You do not send THEM back.

visualize the lift/elevator going up

then coming back down

as the door opens your female guide steps out

notice how she looks

ask her name

ask her to stand by you while you send the elevator back up

and then down again

as the door opens your male guide steps out

notice how he looks

ask his name

spend time talking with your guides

create your sacred space

Create a door to the back left to go on astral journeys.

A clock and calendar to change the date & time. — or these days a computer would do.

Anything that you feel that you require for healing

Anything you wish

I have a “natural” mineral pool because I like nature:

You could have a spar

Or a medical bed like they have in Star Trek 😛

Remember that your guides stay in this sacred space awaiting you.

When you are ready go back the way that you came.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT READS AND OR COMMENTS ON MY POSTS  —It is good to know people care about other life forms

VEGAN

have been able to adhere to vegan or even

I am so happy to know that so many humans care about other life forms

I have been vegetarian since the 1970s and when I was younger used to cook meat for my family but this century I have refused to cook meat

from facebook

In South Australia in the 1970’s and 80’s vegetarians and vegans were not catered for.

There was a cafe on the corner of Hindmarsh Square and Rundle Street Adelaide, called “Carrots” :

one restaurant that catered for vegans

and  a Lebanese restaurant  that offered a vegetarian platter.

The only vegetarian food one could buy was by Sanitarium

which was, and am guessing still is, owned by the Seventh-day Adventist church.

(And very much appreciated — Thank you Seventh Day Adventists)

We were ridiculed and abused by those in pubs, restaurants and people generally.

I made my own burghers using lentils, vegetable and bread crumbs and at a surprise birthday party for my (now ex) husband all the carnivores were eating these:

not realizing they had no meat.

I didn’t insist my family were vegetarian

I would make a vegetarian dish to share

and also cook meat.

If I ate meat I would have nightmares about being an animal in a slaughter house.

I object to factory farming and production line slaughter.

Of course the reason the setup is this way is there are way to many humans.

I didn’t want to eat meat as a child:

for refusing I received a bashing from  my mother:

she threatened to have me put in a mental institution

and served me the same meal for breakfast lunch and tea until I ate it.

I have allowed myself to eat meat on a few occasions over the years usually because I was anaemic

The nightmares return plus my digestive system doesn’t handle meat.

In this day and age when there are so many vegans, I never expected to be ridiculed but it has happened on several occasions.

I complimented one woman on having soy milk in her coffee and she abused the hell out of me:
Said that she wasn’t vegan (which according to her is worse than leprosy ) she had soy milk because she liked it.

It is important to me that I am always honest so I must confess that sadly  I have only been  a part time vegan— but still vegetarian:

If I ate eggs I bought those produced locally as I have been to the farm where the chickens are and I would live where they live  😀

I cannot watch cooking shows:

Haven’t cooked meat for anyone since 1998

I am horrified that people think eating creature that is boiled alive is a treat.

A friend asked me why vegans avoid dairy :

I explained that the cows are kept continually pregnant:

the calves go to slaughter and their mothers know.

In my opinion the drug companies are worse than the meat industry.

In 1982 the husband of one of my staff asked me to report that suckie calves were left to die of dehydration & starvation.

I was told by someone who bought stock that

all new borns are just left to die that way.

In 1982 I reported what was told to me to the RSPCA who called me a liar and a trouble maker.

I put something inwriting but it was ignored.

Animal Liberation told me to write to my politician.

Nothing.

Years later an acquaintance who had worked in the abattoirs told me that the drug companies ask for this.

And my podiatrist  (an animal activist) told me that the drug companies collect hormones from this type of death.

People just don’t want to know.

SAW THIS ON FACEBOOK — THIS IS ALSO MY OPINION

(Sadly since I have moved to a retirement village I haven’t  and been able to adhere to vegan and not strictly to vegetarian

Chef did give me tofu once but cooked it in the oven and it tasted like rubber)

Taken on Kangaroo Island last century
