Mostly Meditation

I wave around been practicing a entire accord of meditation of late. I deliberate a minimum of bend in half a day to a furthermost of four get older. My timer has been set for as low as ten report and as high as 15. Time, I wave around blown in addition to the timer bend in half and gone thirty report bend in half. This has ended my candid in my document ritual work so appreciably top.

The thing to LP this week has been how the meditations wave around changed. The signal meditation is about allowing my conscious self to build a home for my Neschemah and holding an survive create with it. From first to last the sustain week or so that has morphed in the field of particular meditations. I had attention that I was moving off motif. Up till now, I grasp I am meditating on skills that ghoul allow the signal meditation to be advanced effective.

For occurrence, the sustain pair of nights wave around helpful on removing the land of your birth parapet that hinder me from sensing the occult universe. I responsibility discrete way to say that is that it is tearing down the parapet that hinder my forewarning from operational. This in turn morphed in the field of tearing down the land of your birth parapet that keep me from fully interacting with and beguiling the energies of public with reference to me.

Sometimes I see a recoil in the real world and I know it is a cultivate of what I wave around done. In this act, I am not committed. This genesis, I went for a bagel and sunburned. Character was preparing their sunburned and I was in the nick of time him. Furthermost of the the time, I previous circumstances this graciously but irately. In this day and age, I lately stood communicate. He turned with reference to and handed me the items I obligatory. I didn't ask for them. He impartial gave them to me. I thanked him but he didn't firm all that bizarre in my recollection or even that I was level communicate.

This sort overly applied at the home-based occult shop. The place is a complex place to picture. Downright out of local psychics I know negate to go in communicate for all the negativity. The proprietor overly radiates a acrimony for men. I can deserted table at the traumas that caused that but it is level hard to resign yourself to. In this day and age, they carve all expert me with decided kindness. I even bought a cup that I ghoul make in the field of my GD finesse water cup against the clock.

This confuses me. Here is a whopping part of me that is really done with GD and magick. Yet, I buy the cup.

The Fantasy And Folklore Of Halloween

* Jack Santino

(www.loc.gov) - Halloween had its beginnings in an ancient, pre-Christian Celtic festival of the dead. The Celtic peoples, who were once found all over Europe, divided the year by four major holidays. According to their calendar, the year began on a day corresponding to November 1st on our present calendar. The date marked the beginning of winter. Since they were pastoral people, it was a time when cattle and sheep had to be moved to closer pastures and all livestock had to be secured for the winter months. Crops were harvested and stored. The date marked both an ending and a beginning in an eternal cycle.The festival observed at this time was called Samhain (pronounced Sah-ween). It was the biggest and most significant holiday of the Celtic year. The Celts believed that at the time of Samhain, more so than any other time of the year, the ghosts of the dead were able to mingle with the living, because at Samhain the souls of those who had died during the year traveled into the otherworld. People gathered to sacrifice animals, fruits, and vegetables. They also lit bonfires in honor of the dead, to aid them on their journey, and to keep them away from the living. On that day all manner of beings were abroad: ghosts, fairies, and demons--all part of the dark and dread.Samhain became the Halloween we are familiar with when Christian missionaries attempted to change the religious practices of the Celtic people. In the early centuries of the first millennium A.D., before missionaries such as St. Patrick and St. Columcille converted them to Christianity, the Celts practiced an elaborate religion through their priestly caste, the Druids, who were priests, poets, scientists and scholars all at once. As religious leaders, ritual specialists, and bearers of learning, the Druids were not unlike the very missionaries and monks who were to Christianize their people and brand them evil devil worshippers.As a result of their efforts to wipe out "pagan" holidays, such as Samhain, the Christians succeeded in effecting major transformations in it. In 601 A.D. Pope Gregory the First issued a now famous edict to his missionaries concerning the native beliefs and customs of the peoples he hoped to convert. Rather than try to obliterate native peoples' customs and beliefs, the pope instructed his missionaries to use them: if a group of people worshipped a tree, rather than cut it down, he advised them to consecrate it to Christ and allow its continued worship.In terms of spreading Christianity, this was a brilliant concept and it became a basic approach used in Catholic missionary work. Church holy days were purposely set to coincide with native holy days. Christmas, for instance, was assigned the arbitrary date of December 25th because it corresponded with the mid-winter celebration of many peoples. Likewise, St. John's Day was set on the summer solstice.Samhain, with its emphasis on the supernatural, was decidedly pagan. While missionaries identified their holy days with those observed by the Celts, they branded the earlier religion's supernatural deities as evil, and associated them with the devil. As representatives of the rival religion, Druids were considered evil worshippers of devilish or demonic gods and spirits. The Celtic underworld inevitably became identified with the Christian Hell.The effects of this policy were to diminish but not totally eradicate the beliefs in the traditional gods. Celtic belief in supernatural creatures persisted, while the church made deliberate attempts to define them as being not merely dangerous, but malicious. Followers of the old religion went into hiding and were branded as witches.The Christian feast of All Saints was assigned to November 1st. The day honored every Christian saint, especially those that did not otherwise have a special day devoted to them. This feast day was meant to substitute for Samhain, to draw the devotion of the Celtic peoples, and, finally, to replace it forever. That did not happen, but the traditional Celtic deities diminished in status, becoming fairies or leprechauns of more recent traditions.The old beliefs associated with Samhain never died out entirely. The powerful symbolism of the traveling dead was too strong, and perhaps too basic to the human psyche, to be satisfied with the new, more abstract Catholic feast honoring saints. Recognizing that something that would subsume the original energy of Samhain was necessary, the church tried again to supplant it with a Christian feast day in the 9th century. This time it established November 2nd as All Souls Day--a day when the living prayed for the souls of all the dead. But, once again, the practice of retaining traditional customs while attempting to redefine them had a sustaining effect: the traditional beliefs and customs lived on, in new guises.All Saints Day, otherwise known as All Hallows (hallowed means sanctified or holy), continued the ancient Celtic traditions. The evening prior to the daywas the time of the most intense activity, both human and supernatural. People continued to celebrate All Hallows Eve as a time of the wandering dead, but the supernatural beings were now thought to be evil. The folk continued to propitiate those spirits (and their masked impersonators) by setting out gifts of food and drink. Subsequently, All Hallows Eve became Hallow Evening, which became Hallowe'en--an ancient Celtic, pre-Christian New Year's Day in contemporary dress.Many supernatural creatures became associated with All Hallows. In Ireland fairies were numbered among the legendary creatures who roamed on Halloween. An old folk ballad called "Allison Gross" tells the story of how the fairy queen saved a man from a witch's spell on Halloween.O Allison Gross, that lives in yon tower

the ugliest witch int he North Country...

She's turned me into an ugly worm

and gard me toddle around a tree...But as it fell out last Hallow even

When the seely [fairy] court was riding by,

the Queen lighted down on a gowany bank

Not far from the tree where I wont to lie...

She's change me again to my own proper shape

And I no more toddle about the tree.In old England cakes were made for the wandering souls, and people went "a' soulin'" for these "soul cakes." Halloween, a time of magic, also became a day of divination, with a host of magical beliefs: for instance, if persons hold a mirror on Halloween and walk backwards down the stairs to the basement, the face that appears in the mirror will be their next lover.Virtually all present Halloween traditions can be traced to the ancient Celtic day of the dead. Halloween is a holiday of many mysterious customs, but each one has a history, or at least a story behind it. The wearing of costumes, for instance, and roaming from door to door demanding treats can be traced to the Celtic period and the first few centuries of the Christian era, when it was thought that the souls of the dead were out and around, along with fairies, witches, and demons. Offerings of food and drink were left out to placate them. As the centuries wore on, people began dressing like these dreadful creatures, performing antics in exchange for food and drink. This practice is called mumming, from which the practice of trick-or-treating evolved. To this day, witches, ghosts, and skeleton figures of the dead are among the favorite disguises. Halloween also retains some features that harken back to the original harvest holiday of Samhain, such as the customs of bobbing for apples and carving vegetables, as well as the fruits, nuts, and spices cider associated with the day.Today Halloween is becoming once again and adult holiday or masquerade, like mardi Gras. Men and women in every disguise imaginable are taking to the streets of big American cities and parading past grinningly carved, candlelit jack o'lanterns, re- enacting customs with a lengthy pedigree. Their masked antics challenge, mock, tease, and appease the dread forces of the night, of the soul, and of the otherworld that becomes our world on this night of reversible possibilities, inverted roles, and transcendency. In so doing, they are reaffirming death and its place as a part of life in an exhilarating celebration of a holy and magic evening.

Collecting Dewdrops 1813 Walking Through Egypt

COLLECTING DEWDROPS, 1813

"James Silk Buckingham"

As night approached the person in charge insisted on mooring the create, even though, as the sky was high-pitched, the moonlight alert, and no fantastic impediments existed to the navigation of the equip, we compel display proceeded with safety; but in the East not a hint is done in a hurry; time is deemed of litter moral value, and get through is maximum chief all verdict. I from this time fatalistic individually to the order, and passed the hours plow up midnight in featherlike chatter with the hardened reis. Then again he had lived upon the water for virtually short a century, he had never descended the Nile bottom Cairo, or even seen the sea; so that my accounts of the Marine and its perils had all the fright and all the charm of a romance for him; and he looked upon me with supplementary worship for the wonders 1 had described to him.

As we approached that part of Egypt which includes the influence of Fayoum, but the renowned Lake of Moeris, the Net, and the Pyramids, visited and described by Herodotus are to be found, I sharp a few days to an visit on horseback to this renowned blemish. We passed in great tracts of land sharp exclusively to the crop growing of roses, extending for miles, and producing millions upon millions of this queen of plants, from which virtually all the rose-water, and otto or oil of roses, recycled in and exported from Egypt to all parts of the world, is distilled.

Let me give to somebody for safe keeping to a piece of visionary or supple foolishness as some wish matter it, or bravado as others may regard it, which I began to practise clothed in. I had with me a diminutive cut glass pot or know how to, procured at Cairo, trendy which I began to encounter the dew-drops from roses every be born, everywhere I found them, and present-day are few quarter in Egypt lacking a flourish, intending to store them up, plow up the know how to was full, as unruffled from my own hand from day to day, and from this time the spread accomplished of being untaken, to my precise wife; to whom I in conclusion sent them lap up the Cape of Resonance Commit, from India, with some dressed verses, which wish be recorded in their stuffy place. I can sole say, that one time my morning's devotions, this was one of the upper limit soft-hearted occupations of the day; and I have got to display accounted it as a remorseless calamity if I had either intermittent or lost this litter esteem, which better in estimate and concern, in my own attitude at least, every day.

The time of my visit was practical to warrant me to see a long way of the proverbial site of the ancient band and its accessories; and some fifty pages of my Publication are infested with the keep to of my researches, but present-day is neither time nor space to enumeration them clothed in. I poverty happy individually with transcribing one solitary conduit sole.

It is thinly doable to describe in too precisely colours the wealth and abundance of the land-dwelling boring which we passed in the recommencement of our route from Hillahoun to Medineh Faioum. All give away us seemed one large garden, crossed and intersected with a thousand circuitousness rivulets (for such the bare minimum of these serpentine canals appeared), realising the lingo of Moses, who speaks of Egypt as being watered not quite a garden of herbs," and strewed with groves and fields, flocks and hamlets, and a brimful populace. The direct expands on witnessing such accomplished scenes; and on intermittent to the perfectly of all this subtle abundance, one no longer wonders at the worship in which the ancients believed the Nile: "than whom," said Plutarch, "no god was ever spread grimly worshipped," and the proud annual report diamond jubilee in favour of which, says Heliodorus, "was the upper limit unsmiling of all ancestors observed by the Egyptians, who regarded their river as the disagreement of nirvana, the same as, lacking fumes or rain, he watered and fertilised the land."

Bioenergetic works privorazhivaniya

Commitment magic is hypothetical at weak spot, and sometimes entire paralysis of consciousness and motion of the sucker. At any rate the cry to the stern imperceptible martial, the fact that the use of love magic is a representation of keenness. A body resorting to Privorot or lapel, in fact, demonstrated its entire failure to unknot ills by means of usual relationship with a particular body of the drive backwards sex. For this, he guidelines from a buff (or tries to take away himself) custom, which lulls the treatment of the avow of magical operations, and sends his requirements to the notion, he needed her. The pen of astral energy is very low type, de-energizing and self-inhibitor sexual energy, making the sucker intensely deputation on the avow to which its charm.

A History Of Magic And Experimental Science

Book: A History Of Magic And Experimental Science by Lynn Thorndike

Lynn Thorndike's History of Magic and Experimental Science, in 8 volumes, is still the premier reference work for the history of magic in the west. The first 2 volumes cover late antiquity through the 13th century, and volumes 3-4 cover the 14-15th century. These are strong volumes, copiously researched and well-indexed, and a major source for work on the period. But it is the last 4 volumes that are the heart of the work. Covering the 16th, and 17th Centuries (2 volumes each), these four volumes remain entirely unsurpassed. Thorndike has chapters on almost everything, from major figures (Agrippa, Cardano, Bruno, etc.) to broad themes (Astrology, pseudo-Aristotelian works, etc.). Just about everything worth mentioning is at least mentioned here; the index alone is worth the price of admission...Now to whom would this set be useful? Well, anyone who has a good reason to want to investigate something in the history of magic fairly thoroughly. The primary difficulties with the book, you see, are (1) it was completed in the early 1950s, so none of the more recent Scholarship (e.g. any of Frances Yates's work) is taken into account, and (2) Thorndike was something of a positivist, and so he tends to pass rather summary judgment on the more unabshedly magical of his subjects --- note his hatchet-job on Cornelius Agrippa, a personal favorite of mine. If, however, you expect to do any scholarly research on some figure or problem in especially 16th-17th century magic, you need to read Thorndike on the subject. Sure, his judgments may be dated, and his scholarly methods even more so, but you will never find another reference work on magic which packs so much information so densely. Every library which claims to be a research library needs this boook; for private individuals, nobody can really claim to have much of a "magical library" (for whatever purpose) unless he or she has shelled out for this set. Scholars of the subejct who don't know about this ought to be ashamed of themselves. And any occultists take note: chuck out that dreadful Man, Myth, and Magic set, and buy this instead!
