one that sees the divine manifest in all creation.
The cycles of nature are our holy days, the earth is our temple,
its plants and creatures our partners and teachers.
We worship a deity that is both male and female,
a mother Goddess and father God,
who together created all that is, was, or will be.
We respect life, cherish the free will of sentient beings, and accept the sacredness of all creation."
Edain McCoy
How to tell your neighbours a witch ;o))How To Tell If Your Next-Door Neighbor is a Witch By Andie Gilmour Fifty sure-fire ways to detect paganism without having to resort to a dunking stool or wart-inspection. 1) Never puts any rubbish out on refuse-collection day. I mean, re-cycling and composting is fine, but you can take it too far. 2) You casually ask what phase the moon is in, and she tells you down to the exact number of days, hour and minute of rising, position on horizon, and current angle of declination. 3) All the stray cats in the neighbourhood tend to congregate in her garden (and use your own as their litter). 4) A screech owl has chosen the lamp-post outside her house as its favorite calling-post. That's just when it's getting warm at night and you like to sleep with the window open. 5) Doesn't cut down the weeds in her garden; in fact it looks more like she's cultivating them. Needless to say, you get the seeds wafting over onto your pristine lawn. 6) Most of her clothes on the washing line are black. 7) The local kids talk in whispers as they go past her house, then start running at the last moment. 8) Nobody trick-or-treats her house; not after the incident when theids' costumes were less scary than hers when she opened the door to them. (She was embracing the Crone that year no doubt!) 9) Footprints on the roof. And the trees in her flight-path have been pruned down. I swear it's true! 10) She can't even make a simple sandwich without adding fresh herbs to it. And don't ask her for a cup of tea unless you want something yellow coloured and smelling of flowers. 11) She hardly ever gets junk mail. You ask her what her secret is and she confides that she returns it to sender after writing something on in strange curly writing. 12) When you pop next door for a chat, the kettle is always already on. 13) The Jehovah's Witnesses never call (not anymore; not after the last time! :-). 14) Keeps the local scented-candle shop solvent. 15) Has a pond full of frogs (and you haven't seen that bothersome double-glazing salesman around for a while). 16) She's always smiling, darn her! 17) She goes dressed as normal to a Hallowe'en fancy dress party; and wn first prize. 18) Her house always smells of incense. 19) Has named her four cats Beelzebub, Kali, Diana, and Moonbeam. (Or her rats Devon and Cornwall) 20) Her bumper sticker reads "I brake for toads". 21) Frequently gets raided by the drug squad who confiscate large amounts of dried green leaves; they always return them with apologies after analysis. 22) At Christmas, it seems like half the garden has been moved into the house. 23) You sometimes hear the sound of singing and dancing through the wall. If you look out of the window, it is usually a full moon. 24) She was given a bodhram drum for her birthday. And she plays it at midnight in the fields. And she's got a blasted tamborine. 25) You discover that her realistic resin skull ornament in her living room, actually is real. 26) You catch her washing a crystal ball along with the dishes. 27) She wears a lot of silver jewelry, even when doing the gardening. And bat ear-rings for goodness-sake. 28) You knock on her dooran she answers it naked except for a toweling robe. You apologize for disturbing her in the bath, but notice that her hair isn't wet. 29) Irritating tendency to hum a lot. What's she got to be so happy about, huh? 30) She has a tame robin that will eat from her hand in the garden. That can't be natural. 31) Never catches a cold, even though she walks barefoot most of the time. In the snow as well. 32) Doesn't kill spiders. Not even big hairy long-legged ones that suddenly appear from the waste-pipe whilst you're having a bath. 33) She listens to what you are saying like she really cares. 34) She has lots of female friends who come round every few months. When you ask what they get up to, she tells you that they just have cakes and ale and a good natter. 35) You catch her hugging a tree. 36) Her dinner-set is decorated with Celtic patterns. 37) She has a mail-order account with a semi-precious gem wholesaler. 38) You notice that the parish priest crosses himself whenever he wals pst her house. 39) She never watches television. And she has shelves full of books with black spines and silver-lettered titles. 40) To your certain knowledge she has never set foot in the local church. In fact, you have heard rumours that she has been barred from it. 41) She makes jars of quince and mandrake relish for the Women's Institute coffee morning jumble sale. 42) You ask to borrow a pack of cards for an impromptu bridge evening, and there are 78 in the pack. 43) You have never known her to visit her GP. 44) When you talk with her, she maintains eye contact all the time. 45) Expectant mothers are forever visiting her. Also women who become expectant mothers a month after visiting her. 46) You ask her for suggestions for nice walks in the area, and they all go by way of stone circles and strange earth mounds. 47) She only buys organic. And you just bet that she's a vegetarian as well. (Well, maybe not stricly vegetarian.. ..) 48) When you ask her about her vacation pans,she tells you she will be camping in a tee-pee in the Brecon Beacons. 49) There aren't any mirrors in her house. Or clocks. 50) She tells you that she is coming out of the broom closet, joins Witches' Voice, and erects a stained-glass pentacle window in her front door . Ooo what a give-away! Hmmm... amazing how many of these apply... teehee April 11 Talking about Beautiful
Quote Beautiful February 17 PainThere is a fine line between Pleasure and Pain
Both can be Ecstacy
Both can Heal or Hurt
One without the other is lost on the Senses
Like Day without Night
Black without White
But beware when the line gets smudged
You lose site of the difference
When Pain becomes Pleasure
and Pleasure becomes Pain......... DelusionsWhen ONE person suffers from a Delusion it is called INSANITY
When MANY people suffer from a Delusion it is called RELIGION

BLOODY AND CHAOTIC Talking about Born Free
Quote Born Free March 29 Obituary: The Sad Passing of Common SenseToday we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years.
No One knows for sure how old she was since her birth were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
She will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as Knowing when to come in out of the rain,
Why the early bird gets the worm, Life isn't always fair and Maybe it was my fault!
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (Don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (Adults not children are in charge!! )
Her health began to deteriorate rapidlywhen well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.
Reports of a six year old boy charged with sexual harrassment for kissing a classmate; Teens suspended for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher suspended for reprimanding an uruly student, only worsened her condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job the failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
She declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Panadol, Sun lotion or a sticking plaster to a student; BUT couldnot inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live when the 10 commandments became contraband; Churches became businesses and Criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realise a steaming hot coffee was hot! She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement!!
Common sense was preceeded in her death by her Parents Truth & Trust, her Sister Discretion, her Daughter
Responsibility and her Son Reason.
She is survived by three stepbrothers; I Know MY Rights, Someone Else Is Too Blame and I'm A Victim!!!
Not many attended her funeral because so few realised She was gone............... February 04 LoveHere I abandon myself to thee Slip into the caresses as of right Live in thy kisses as in living light Clothing in thy love Enthroned lazily in thine embrace As naked as the night As lover & lover More pure, More keen, More strong Than all my dreams discover
Anon January 20 My LoverYou came to me one night filling me with your hope, your life, My Lover, Forgotten now my life before, the hurt the pain, You taught me how to trust again, I give you my heart, My Lover January 07 Mad or are we???Are the mad in this world actually the sane ones,
and those who claim to be normal & sane actually delusional?
Cause in a place like this how can you not be insane?
A little mental disorder never hurt anyone
In fact it could be the healthiest thing out there!!
Or is it???? January 02 Talking about Racism!!
Quote Racism!! December 08 Who we areJudge us not by what we have
or what we do
But by how we are
How we love is who we are
Mystery"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
It is the source of all true art and all science.
He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed"
Albert Einstein |
