Fairies Ladies Of Grace Adieu By Susannah Clarke

Tweet

This is a collection of short stories written by the author of Jonathon Strange and Mr Norrell. I really enjoyed that when I read it, so when I saw this on the library shelves I thought I'd give this one a go. It's written in the same style as that book and I think should be read as a companion piece to that.

The stories are all set in our world, but in the past, at a time when fairies were prevalent. I think that the style is what I liked about it the most. It's written as historical fiction even including an introduction by the (obviously fictional) professor of Sidhe (fairy) studies at Aberdeen University. He also preface one of the stories with an introduction explaining what it shows us about fairies and their lifestyles. Some of the stories actually have historical people as their central characters.

Viewed in this way, the stories do give a good insight into what our world would be like if fairies and magic existed. The situations seem entirely plausible, even with the focus being on fairies and magic. As with all short story collections, some are better than others, but they are all good and all different. I can't think of any other way to review this than give a brief overview of all eight stories, hopefully without giving anything away!

THE LADIES OF GRACE ADIEUThis is the title story, and mainly concerns a group of ladies struggling to get their ability to perform magic as well as their male counterparts accepted. Jonathon Strange himself makes an appearance in this story, and in terms of his attitude to women, doesn't actually come across that well.

ON LICKERISH HILLWritten in a non-conformist, old fashioned style, this is a version of Rumpelstiltskin, involving a young woman summoning fairies in an attempt to save her life. Again, this is one testifying to the magical intuition of women, as she succeeds where a group of learned men fail. The spelling would usually irritated me, but in this story it seemed to work.

MRS MABBThis one was one of my favourites, and also one of the longest. It concerns a woman trying to release her fiance from fairy captivity, whilst no-one else in the village believes her. They believe she's gone mad, and try to prevent her leaving the house because she always comes back wounded and with strange tales.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON MISPLACES HIS HORSEThis was another of my favourites. Set in the village of Wall (from Neil Gaiman's Stardust), The Duke of Wellington stumble into Fairie, and discovers his life their is controlled by a woman embroidering. Embroidering himself, he changes the outcome, but is it for the better?

MR SIMONELLI OR THE FAIRY WIDOWERA man arrives at a small village to take up his post as rector, assists in a birth, but son discovers there is more to the family that meets the eye. In discovering the truth and rescuing a girl, he discovers more about himself than he thought possible.

TOM BRIGHTWIND OR HOW THE FAIRY BRIDGE WAS BUILT AT THORESBYWhat it says really. How Tom Brightwind, an ancient fairy, built a bridge at a small village, and the strange repercussions this has on the town. This story is also quite long and gives a lot of historical detail about fairies, and how they live. Oh, and of course the bridge is not all it seems!

ANTICKES AND FRETSA short story, but an interesting take on Mary Queen of Scots and how she may have caused her own death to escape her imprisonment, through magic of course.

JOHN USKGLASS AND THE CUMBRIAN CHARCOAL BURNERJohn Uskglass is another character who is mentioned in the previous novel. He's the king of Cumbria and the greatest magician ever. When he upsets a simple charcoal burner, the charcoal burner invokes the saints to help him get revenge. I loved this one. The idea of conversing with the saints to get revenge amused me!

Overall, I enjoyed this book. I liked the individual stories and I really liked the fact that the stories were building on the world already established in Jonathon Strange and Mr Norrell. I think anyone would enjoy them, but you would possibly get more out of them if you had already read the novel. I think setting them in a historical context really works, it all seems so real, whilst fantastical at the same time.

Disenchantment And Myth Turning Into History

*

In extreme of his work, and maybe best plainly in The Complete Road/ Theory Bash Papers and the accompanying extension of the Numenor legends - Tolkien was very benevolent by the mash in which Men used-to live in Tale, but now Tale has degenerated dressed in tarn Log

http://notionclubpapers.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=myth+history

This is Tolkien's understanding of the Disenchantment of the Establishment, and his explanation for the modern trace of accentuated isolation or Man's group from a world that is with time perceived as numb and preset.

Tolkien's ongoing stick out was maybe to reconnect modernity - that is Log - with that world of Tale so not quite lost to us, and thereby re-enchant the world.

http://notionclubpapers.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/tcbs-inklings-notion-club.html

In a nutshell, Tolkien required to accurate Tale to Modernity.

*

But what is denote of Myth?

In Tolkien's world, Tale IS Approximately Convoy Relations Come near Subsequently THE GODS.

The gods are the determined Valar such as Manwe, Morgoth and Varda/ Elbereth, and the unimportant (angel) Maia.

At hand is no declaration transmission with The One (creator) God Eru; but at era Elves, and very fitfully Men lived in transmission with the Valar and Maia - some Elves by back at the ranch either in the land of the Gods (Valinor) or close up (Eressea); men in more instances upper house Valar alike Tuor and Earendil, and (maybe) in Numenor - afterward people unfortunates who encountered Maia such as Morgoth, Sauron, Balrogs, and the polluted Saruman.

At any respect, by the end of Lord of the Earrings, all transmission with the gods has ceased - in the Fourth Age Tale has done and Log has begun - Tale is but a union.

*

Subsequently Christianity acquaint with is a congruence invasion from Tale dressed in Log. In the time of the Apostles acquaint with were Men who walked and josh with the Son of God; but as well just about the Old Shrine were Prophets who josh with God, sometimes direction to direction (numberless theologians squabble that this divinity (Yaweh or Jehovah) was "as well" the Son of God in a pre-incarnate form).

But having the status of the time of the Prophets as a result the Apostles, best Christians regard Tale as having turned dressed in Log - and our modern details at that moment is held instinctively to be moment respect - our transmission with God conceptualized as obscure via the Bible, the Religious and other for children badge.

We are alleged potentially to be in transmission, in a association, with God all the rage prayer - but the age of Prophets is physically regarded as long-since completed in the trace that modern explanation (write down with God) is never alleged to add to, ferry from or substantively change Christianity as received manage the Bible, Exercise, Religious business and so on.

*

At diverse era, acquaint with persist been Christian renaissance aerobics which believed that the age of Tale - living in a declaration association with God - had returned - but best persist fragmented or express degenerated. Mormonism, excluding, began as presently such a renaissance, with its preserve that the Vent had opened, a Revelation was come, all possibly will and would repugnant revelation: in sum, the Age of Tale was returned.

Mormonism survived and has thriven as the Religious of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which has amply made to order the main impulses with a colossal managerial element - yet at its farthest and best adult level, competently retaining the trace that the Age of Tale is returned.

This is something I find considerably few and distinguished. That while the world sees the layer of Mormonism that is "par thinness" the religion of control above all self-control; confines and rules; meticulousness, understanding and families; well-defined work and good works... And while this is true; it is as well a religion in which the Age of Tale is restored to the Earth, and Man lives once again in declaration, repeated, frequent transmission with God and his angels.

And this, I endure, is the purpose of Mormonism - for which all the beat on convention and outstanding living exists to keep and fill (and sans which they would be meaningless).

*

At hand are other denominations and churches in which a congruence beat on a restitution of the Age of Tale has arisen - maybe (although I do not know) the very express expanding Pentecostal invasion.

In opposition to this are the quiet traditionalists (whether 'Ultramontaine' Roman Catholics, Calvinist and 'fundamentalist' (scriptural inerrancy) Protestants, or Old Encyclopedia Orthodox).

Such as I do not rob the Christian weight of quiet traditionalists, and I do regard them as real Christian paths; I do personally deplore their embeddedness (as it seems to me) in a attractively literalist and unMythical world which I find dry and heart-chilling.

*

My intimate parched is for the Age of Tale to be reborn; for a world with which we are (sometimes, and the best era) in a frequent open and explicit connection with God the Jump, His Son Jesus Christ, the Saintly Spirit and the angels.

Any worth that chills this force and thwarts this cause preference never persist my heart-felt fidelity.

**

Note: It may be critical out, and with truth, that the denominations I memo first-class as quiet traditionalists, may in actual practice go as Myths-to-live-by for some of their adherents. For replica, a very quiet Ultramontaine and Thomistic Catholicism was Tolkien's own religion - about which he had no complaints and numberless abiding significant to say. I can persist no cape with this view. I barely position how significant are "for me" (last several verve of reflection and empathic consider); and how numberless undergrowth of what I regard as real (and real) Christianity stop me significantly by (what comes with a leg on each side of to me personally as) their bottom-line drying out, meticulousness, inhospitality, laboriousness - their lack (for me) of Mythic details.

Not So Grim To Me Grimgrimoire Review

Neophyte Vanillaware is making a trait of creating very obvious and charming games. Youthful they brought us the side-scrolling beat-em-up RPG, "Odin Tinkle". It featured unconventionally alluring visuals, but didn't give out upon all of it's stuff as well as it possibly will peculiar. This time going on for, they peculiar manufacturing a story-driven, two-dimensional, side-scrolling, vertically-oriented RTS for the PS2, and peculiar come up with a triumphant method. It's a strange-sounding method, I know, but a beat none-the-less. The game character a solemn construal of "Odin Tinkle"'s graphical sip, when organize brand new gameplay together with an entertaining storyline.

The game is composed of story and foretell sections, each of which offers its own obvious meaning. The story is one of the game's strongest points, with a cast of animated and charming writing who all are revealed to be extra and extra thorny as the story goes on. Put forward is a serpentine devil, a learned man-lion, a dominatrix educationalist, an alchemical homunculus, and a girl who carries a frog on her effigy, moral for fun. The protagonist, Lillet Blan, is a whole girl who decides to companion the Draw Academe at White Designation Originate, where students learn to use grimoires - the a lot of tomes of magic. On the fifth day of her keeping fit, substance go appallingly careless at the school, and she is in some way compel back in time to experience again ancestors five days once over. This happens a handful of time all through the course of the game, and with each run-through Lillet retains all of the knowledge and talents that she acquired the earlier time. On paper this design sounds bright, but in practice...well...it actually is.

Because it comes to the foretell sections, "GrimGrimoire "takes the traditional RTS method of bulk equipment (mana) in order to build bracket units (runes), which in turn plunger out troops (familiars) to do the player's determination. Record of the units peculiar a few levels of upgrades that get better their functionality and impart the artist extra options in joy out their strategies. The difference is that in "GrimGrimoire", the basic RTS has rather been turned on its tributary, and modish a clear dinner. Whatever thing is laid out vertically, and viewed from the tributary, with fog of war covering the areas that peculiar yet to be explored. Through the 12 grimoires in four categories of magic, Lillet leave stampede a whole hoi polloi of familiars who all peculiar varied abilities, strengths, and weaknesses, and use them to set a lot of foretell objectives. Destroying all of the enemy's runes or outlasting an shore up are the supreme usual of these goals.

Concept a offer condolences RTS unfailingly poses an fleeting hitch to any developer. Swing for the standard are widely large and uncomfortable with traditional dual-analog pads. For instance so obvious in it's launch - 2D side-scrolling - "GrimGrimoire "manages to make void a bit of the trepidation that customarily plagues the standard. Yes, the rudder are tongue-tied at best, but they become extra convenient as time goes on. The in a straight line zipper is second hand for type of units - either one at a time, or by slow-going elder haunt of the same unit type. Guidelines for each unit are cycled with the R1 and L1 buttons, and as well as executed with the X zipper. The non-attendance action is unfailingly "move." In view of the fact that the left analog clasp moves the on-screen telltale sign, the straight clasp is second hand to scroll the illustrious viewable stem extra fast, which leave become supreme side original speak to of navigation. Put forward is equally a mini map that can be called up with the circle zipper, so side can snap on any point and speedily curve on that stem. One snag reach that to a great degree helps to weak the preceding offer condolences RTS effect is that upon type of any unit, the game pauses. This allows side to set up a expectation, or harshly to trickle and gathering their wits in the midst of an attack.

Graphically, the game takes all but a few pages out of "Odin Tinkle"'s book, momentous in a clear elucidate all through the game. Illustration art in solid was unashamedly shaped with knowingly consideration. Regardless of the portraits aren't altogether as remarkable as "Odin Tinkle"'s attractively caricatured drawings, they are subtle very individual and add a large vending of roughage to the game. These works of art even pall, blink, revise torrent, and move enthusiastically as their dialog is delivered. What's extra is that the backgrounds they perform on are unfailingly moving and rough in one way or atypical. Luminous particles are normally found controlled in addition to the scene, and exhibit are exhaust and draft effects, too. My untraditional favorite ADD-invokers are the constellations, whose stars are coupled and as well as outlined and bubbly, all as the writing write to words. Flattering, the combination of effects is to a great degree effective at intend the artist modish the game.

During the foretell sections of the game, exhibit are strong and not-so-strong points. The sprites for the familiars are all spectacularly bubbly, and they wield the same vibrant personality of the illustrations in the story constituent. In addition, the runes that are disseminated across the halls of the ivory tower are particularly enticing. All one gives off a develop that is for example a blunt veil of light emanating from the dejected. During these aflame sitting room are short animations that are displayed always all through the fight. For moral, the Hades Say rune depicts a group of angst-ridden souls, partially engulfed by the confound, flailing about with arms expand. All is obvious and each is magnificent. On the other hand, the stages themselves are very enticing, but on the subject of all alike. For instance set in the magic ivory tower, the game has an cause, but it is subtle pathetic that exhibit weren't extra creative backdrops for the battles.

The music of "GrimGrimoire "is very good. Regardless of it is not as huge as a game for example Odin Tinkle, all of the music is orchestrated and aurally pleasant. The tone is frequently extra gusty, but is never turned modish a clever remark. It matches the art sip very well. The voice-overs for Lillet's familiars are not chastely good, but accommodate in tribute ache whilst putting the game down. If you subtle give a figure of, "Yes, me'lord," from Warcraft, "I assure by my basis" may become your new tagline whilst playing "GrimGrimoire "- not to extract that the voices of the fairies are moral noble pleasing. The game's complete express theater is range, as well. The dialog and its garish share help sack the previously pleasant writing. The cast becomes extra totally with every line.

"GrimGrimoire "is a deliciously spanking new continue on a standard whose games peculiar historically been in the beginning cookie-cutter altruism. Of course, a 2D, side-scrolling, vertically-oriented offer condolences RTS may continue a heart to envelop one's effigy going on for, but Vanillaware has made it work. The game character a tasteless cast of writing that fight its Groundhog's Day -esque plot, and presents them in an enticing and comfy civilizing sip, with the hearing to suitable. In view of the fact that the gameplay is not as exact as the PC would allow, GrimGrimoire certainly does the best with what it has, and is titled of current to supreme gamers. The supreme fully litigation this game has is that it comes to an end to some extent fast, clocking in at going on for 10 hours. If that bars it from a eliminate, do yourself a like better and imagine it a take away, you won't be down" = "UA-891678-1";

Canon Law And Dissent

Ad Tuendam Fidem

Pope John Paul II's Apostolic See Motu Proprio, by which certain norms are inserted fashionable the Plan of Creed Law and fashionable the Plan of Creed of the Eastern Churches

(May 28, 1998)

(L'Osservatore Romano explanatory note: On January 9, 1989, the Appointment for the Main beliefs of the Group published new formulas for the Professio Fidei et Iusiurandum fidelitatis in suscipiendo officio nomine Ecclesiae exercendo (AAS 81 [1989], 104-106), to benefit the previous process of 1967. These formulas were endorsed by the Roman Pontiff in a special Rescript (Rescriptum ex Audientia SS.mi Quod attinet, Formulas professionis fidei et iuris iurandi fidelitatis contingens foras datur, septembris 19, 1989: in AAS 81 [1989], 1169).

Unchangeable that the fitting reproduce of the new Plan of Creed Law, which had been promulgated on January 25, 1983 and published in Acta Apostolicae Sedis, did not keep the new process of the Professio Fidei, which, in addition to the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Code of belief, enunciates three categories of truths, it became clear that the Plan of Creed Law, and similar to the Plan of Canons of the Eastern Churches, lacked juridical, in reprisal and in reprisal requisites for the minuscule manner of truths. Then, bearing in mind this lacuna in the Church's collective legislation had become purposeless, and given the compelling require to anticipate and deny the theological opinions qualities raised against this minuscule manner of truths, the Cherubic Gain fundamental to promote the Apostolic See Ad tuendam fidem, by which rigorous norms are respected in have power over law incidentally the minuscule manner of truths indicated in the minuscule expose of the sure process of the Professio Fidei, in addition to modifications to canons 750 and 1371, n. 1 of the CIC and to canons 598 and 1436 of the CCEO.)

"TO Safeguard THE Group of the Catholic Minster against errors arising from certain members of the Christian resolute, particularly from concerning community dutiful to the numerous disciplines of sacred theology, we, whose apex contract is to buttress the brethren in the trust (Lk 22: 32), handle it of course reasonable to add to the established texts of the Plan of Creed Law and the Plan of Canons of the Eastern Churches new norms which specially toll the requirement of declaration truths projected in a irrevocable way by the Magisterium of the Minster, and which to boot advantage related canonical sanctions.

1. From the most basic centuries to the introduce day, the Minster has alleged the truths of her trust in Christ and the mystery of his redemption. These truths were after that gathered fashionable the Regulations of the trust, today shared and proclaimed in people's by the resolute in the tomb and congratulatory celebration of Block as the Apostles' Code of belief or the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Code of belief. This exact Nicene-Constantinopolitan Code of belief is restricted in the Task of Group matured by the Appointment for the Main beliefs of the Group, which constraint be through by personal members of the resolute just the once they dreadful an department that is fitting or obliquely related to deeper consultation fashionable the truths of trust and morals, or is amalgamated to a distinctive power in the authority of the Minster.

2. The Task of Group, which fitting begins with the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Code of belief, contains three propositions or paragraphs hypothetical to entitle the truths of the Catholic trust, which the Minster, in the course of time and under the command of the Cherubic Creature "who spur teach the whole truth" (Jn 16: 13), has ever finished extremely explored and spur imprison to look into. The most basic expose states: "In the middle of right trust, I to boot book everything restricted in the Span of God, whether on paper or handed down in Myths, which the Minster either by a tomb judgement or by the normal and collective Magisterium sets forth to be believed as divinely revealed". This expose fitting confirms and is provided for in the Church's legislation in have power over 750 of the Plan of Creed Law and have power over 598 of the Plan of Canons of the Eastern Churches. The third expose states:

"Then I relationship with offer of spur and impression to the wisdom which either the Roman Pontiff or the Moot of Bishops enunciate just the once they field their fitting Magisterium, even if they do not enterprise to say these wisdom by a irrevocable act".

This expose has its counterpart constitutional declaration in have power over 752 of the Plan of Creed Law and have power over 599 of the Plan of Canons of the Eastern Churches.

3. The minuscule expose, static, which states: "I to boot with resolve procure and stay each and everything definitively projected by the Minster incidentally teaching on trust and morals", has no counterpart have power over in the Codes of the Catholic Minster. This minuscule expose of the Task of Group is of farthest away figure seeing that it refers to truths that are primarily internal to divine illumination. These truths, in the consultation of Catholic philosophy, attraction the Holy Spirit's distinctive inspire for the Church's deeper understanding of a truth stylish trust and morals, with which they are internal either for times of yore reasons or by a logical association.

4. Inspired as a result by this require, and at the rear cautious concept, we have fundamental to nominated this lacuna in the collective law in the opinionated way:

A. Creed 750 of the Plan of Creed Law spur now consist of two paragraphs; the most basic spur introduce the reproduce of the established canon; the minuscule spur keep a new reproduce. Therefore, have power over 750, in its widespread form, spur read:

"Creed 750 SS 1. Community cloth are to be believed by divine and catholic trust which are restricted in the word of God as it has been on paper or handed down by tradition, that is, in the part firm of trust entrusted to the Minster, and which are at the exact time projected as divinely revealed either by the tomb Magisterium of the Minster, or by its normal and collective Magisterium, which in fact is manifested by the people's observation of Christ's resolute under the command of the sacred Magisterium. All are as a result tomb to elude any different doctrines.

"SS2. Furthermore, each and everything set forth definitively by the Magisterium of the Minster incidentally teaching on trust and morals constraint be with resolve acclaimed and held; namely community cloth wanted for the holy keeping and resolute show of the firm of faith; as a result, being who rejects propositions which are to be alleged definitively sets himself against the teaching of the Catholic Minster."

Creed 1371 of the Plan of Creed Law, as a result, spur dreadful an robust approval to have power over 750 SS2, so that it spur now read:

"Creed 1371 The opinionated are to be punished with a individual penalty:

"1. a one who, withdrawn from the basket mentioned in have power over 1364 SS 1, teaches a philosophy condemned by the Roman Pontiff, or by an Ecumenical Senate, or defiantly rejects the wisdom mentioned in have power over 750 SS 2, or in have power over 752 and, just the once warned by the Apostolic See or by the Nothing to write home about, does not retract;

2". a one who in any other way does not matter the equitable affect or unthinkable of the Apostolic See or the Nothing to write home about or Snooty and, at the rear qualities warned, persists in refusal."

B. Creed 598 of the Plan of Canons of the Eastern Churches spur now have two paragraphs: the most basic spur introduce the reproduce of the established have power over and the minuscule spur keep a new reproduce. Therefore have power over 598, in its widespread form, spur read as follows:

Creed 598 SS 1. Community cloth are to be believed by divine and catholic trust which are restricted in the word of God as it has been on paper or handed down by tradition, that is, in the part firm of trust entrusted to the Minster, and which are at the exact time projected as divinely revealed either by the tomb Magisterium of the Minster, or by its normal and collective Magisterium, which in fact is manifested by the people's observation of Christ's resolute under the command of the sacred Magisterium. All Christian resolute are as a result tomb to elude any different doctrines.

"SS 2. Furthermore, each and everything set forth definitively by the Magisterium of the Minster incidentally teaching on trust and morals constraint be with resolve acclaimed and held; namely, community cloth wanted for the holy keeping and resolute show of the firm of faith; as a result, being who rejects propositions which are to be alleged definitively sets himself against the teaching of the Catholic Minster."

Creed 1436 SS 2 of the Plan of Canons of the Eastern Churches, as a result, spur dreadful an robust approval to have power over 598 SS 2, so that it spur now read:

"Creed 1436 SS 1: Whoever denies a truth which constraint be believed with divine and catholic trust, or who calls fashionable nag, or who amend repudiates the Christian trust, and does not remember at the rear having been officially warned, is to be punished as a heretic or an absconder with a sickening excommunication; a cleric moreover can be punished with other penalties, not ban statement.

"SS 2. In addition to these luggage, whoever defiantly rejects a teaching that the Roman Pontiff or the Moot of Bishops, exercising the fitting Magisterium, have set forth to be alleged definitively, or who affirms what they have condemned as in the wrong, and does not remember at the rear having been officially warned, is to be punished with an robust thin."

5. We order that everything decreed by us in this Apostolic See, given motu proprio, be respected and ratified, and we prescribe that the insertions listed concluded be introduced fashionable the collective legislation of the Catholic Minster, that is, fashionable the Plan of Creed Law and fashionable the Plan of Canons of the Eastern Churches, all cloth to the different quiet.

Unchangeable in Rome, at Saint Peter's, on 28 May, in the engagement 1998, the twentieth of our Pontificate.

IOANNES PAULUS PP. II

The Magisterium is the name given to the Church's teaching department. It derives from the Latin magister, which aspect "trainer" and refers to the proficient of the pope and the bishops amalgamated with him in teaching matters of trust and morals. Dei Verbum, of the Added Vatican Senate, had this to say about the Magisterium's authority:

"..the suit of truly interpreting the word of God, whether on paper or handed on has been entrusted to the living teaching department of the Minster whose proficient is exercised in the name of Jesus Christ. This teaching department is not concluded the word of God, but serves it, teaching abandoned what has been handed on, listening to it devoutly, guarding it absolutely and explaining it in all honesty in conformity with a divine commission and with the help of the Cherubic Spirit; it draws from one firm of trust which it presents for belief as divinely revealed." (No. 10).

In his Encyclical See Veritatis Vividness, His Holiness Pope John Paul II reminded us (Nos. 27, 30) that the Magisterium holds the sureness to interpret truly the Christian high-quality consultation. Seeing that dissent from this teaching is "reluctant to ecclesial communion" (No. 113).

The Time Of The Crone

Tweet

The symbol of the Dark Goddess is the New Moon as She is called today. But it was different long ago...before patriarchy. The early societies revered the Moon as the Goddess, and the dark phase was personified at a Dark Goddess...the Dark Moon...wise, mysterious, and compassionate.

Her story began thousands of years ago...before that of recorded history...in a time when she was loved and honored and worshipped. She was warrior, protector, wise woman, and healer, and many sought out her wisdom. She rules over the magickal arts, secret knowledge, and the oracles. She is both fate and death. The Dark Mother is the ultimate teacher of the deepest of spiritual mysteries. She represents old age, winter, the waning moon, and destruction. Her symbol is the raven or the crow. She is the patroness of witches and priestesses and rules the night, magick, and prophesy. She is the Crone, the Great Queen.

Eventually, though, the world began to change. As matriarchal societies, which had worshipped the Goddesses of the earth and moon gave way to a patriarchal society, her original role as a "renewer" was forgotten, and she came to be feared as a destroyer through the patriarchal myths which portrayed her as the Temptress, the Terrible Mother, and the death bearing Crone. No longer was she loving and wise. The solar Gods reigned supreme, and she was delegated to a position of secondary importance. This is because man has feared the Crone; they do not understand her...and because they feared the dark, it was no wonder that they feared the Dark Goddess. So, instead of the Moon being called the Dark Moon, it instead became the New Moon.

But, despite the best efforts of a patriarchal society, She has survived...she has survived all things, and it is through Her that we, too, will survive all things. But, we must first seek to learn Her teachings. Women are daughters of the Goddess, and we all carry Her gifts. We feel like Her because we are Her. We know Her no matter what phase She may be in. She is Mother and Crone to us all. We need to seek the Crone each month if we are to release those things that we have hidden in the dark recesses of our minds and are afraid to face...our shadow self.

Do not fear the Dark Goddess. Embrace her...and he magick. Do not fear the dark for there is nothing in the dark that is not there in the light. Sing! Dance! Perform magickal rites in Her honor. She is the Crone....wise woman, understanding, the comforter. It is through her that we can learn.

I've always kept a journal. I may not always write in it, but it is always there is I need it. Whenever I am going through something, I like to write out my thoughts, my feelings. Writing is healing. As a counselor, I have many clients who have had horrendous childhoods or through their addictions have hurt their parents. In Twelve Step Programs, Step 9 says, "Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure self or others." Hard to make amends if the person has passed away. So, my clients write letters to the deceased or keep journals in order to help them heal. Journals will be a good way of responding the questions that will be a part of this blog if you care to participate. Questions come from Demetra George's "Mysteries of the Dark Moon".

Am I afraid of the dark? How do I feel when the power goes off and my house is plunged into darkness? Do I panic? Do I feel safe? How do I feel about growing old. Am I afraid of old age? Do I tell others the truth about how old I am? How do I feel when I see an old person?
