DATING HALLOWEEN As we are in October, a few notes on Halloween. We visit Halloween as at 31st October, but a moments intuition ghoul scaffold that (as one of Noel Porter's letters says in "Doesn't matter what Goes") "somethings unethical 'ere". For instance is wrong? Degree of the get stuck is that 31st October is a calendar visit, and one from the revised Roman calendar (habitually called the Gregorian) at that. Yet Samhain is a Celtic day which predates the Romans historically, and accordingly the Celts would not storage space had use of a Roman calendar to set the visit. For instance is trimming, our calendar has been revised in 1752 in England, with eleven days cloistered from September, so that if individual had been using 31 October forward that, Samhain would so fall on 20 October, or curiously, in order to fall on 31 October, it would storage space to storage space been in the past prominent on 10 November. No figures state under oath that is the husk. So what is goodbye on? As long-term, it is a bit of a be evasive. The ancient Celtic calendar was, of course, based on the stars, like better than - as soon as the Roman one - on a put a figure on of days in the day, so we storage space the well know lofty dates: Arctic Solstice: Christmas, Yuletide, Saturnalia
Vernal Equinox: Easter, Passover, Eoestre (Saxon)
Summer Solstice: Midsummer (viz. A Midsummer Night's Goal), St. John's Eve
Autumnal Equinox: Mabon (Celtic/Welsh), Michaelmas (Banquet of St. Michael the Cherub Moreover these are what are renowned as cross-quarter days. These overstep at the mid-way points amid the Solstices and Equinoxes (they are sometimes called the "Mid-Quarter Existence"). These are anew lofty in derivation: Preparatory Cross-Quarter Day (Feb 2-6): Imbolc (Celtic: "in milk"), St. Brigit's Day, Candelmas, Groundhog Day, Setsubun (Japan)
Exact Cross-Quarter Day (May 4-7): Beltane (Celtic: "fire of Bel", coming of summer), May Day, Walpurgisnacht, Banquet of the Sense of Mary
Third Cross-Quarter Day (Aug 5-8): Lughnasa (Celtic: "games of Lugh"), Lammas (favorite place pile), Lughnasadh (Celtic: "games of Lugh"), Feasts of St. Oswald and St. Justus of Lyon.
Fourth Cross-Quarter Day (Nov 5-8): Samhain (Celtic: "summer's end"), Halloween, Banquet of All Saints, Banquet of All Souls. (Note: Halloween preceeds All Saints in the awfully way Walpurgis Sundown preceeds May Day in the Deal out).
For instance has happened, as with May day in the role of the 1st of May, is that in the Medieval stage these festivities latched onto a famous magazine transition, and that is why they became solid like better than movable days, and why Samhain/Halloween is prominent on the 31 October, and not amid November 5 to 8, as would storage space been the husk with the ancient Celts. So while you read in compel, the long-term run of stories saying that Halloween has "from pre-Christian" mature, been prominent on 31 October, it is not in fact true. It is tempting that Sign night, generally the 5th of November, is actually sooner to this visit than our Halloween, which would in Celtic practice may well storage space been a fire souk. All Souls day, similarly thought round about this time, similarly has a chequered history. By the mid-fourth century Christians in the Mediterranean world were maintenance a feast in honour of all folks who had been martyred under the pagan emperors. This was the feast of All Saints, and was thought on 13 May, and was set aside on that visit. In Ireland, in spite of everything, later the Prevailing traditions, or in alignment with them, the feast of All Saints hack upon 20 April to a certain extent. The corner in England and Germany was specific, and by 800 churches in any countries, which were in bit with each other, were celebrating a souk zealous to All Saints upon 1 November to a certain extent. The Prevailing church unused holds All Saints on the Saturday what time Pentecost. All Souls came later, at the outset in February, but was stimulated to 2nd November clearly to associate it to the prior souk.
For instance can we overall from this?
Preparatory, the invention that the Christians "scarf" Halloween (smoothly quoted by compel again!) is historically incorrect. The specific feast days (13th May, 20th April) confirm that.
Exact, the invention that the move to November was to do with appropriating halloween from the Celtic calendar is similarly incorrect. The move to shot came from Germany and England. In Ireland, wherever the Celtic damage would storage space been in place, and in attendance would storage space been a feast day, it was 20th April.
So why did the Germans storage space November as the days for All Saints and All Souls? The move to November 1st took place under coerce from the Place of worship in Germany, to birth a souk for the boding evil days of autumn and into the future winter. The autumn Christian souk was rumored and popularised by Einhard, Charlemagne's archbishop. Whether the new visit coincided at the time with an time-honored Pagan feast, later renowned to the Vikings as Arctic Nights, is shifty. But the new German visit shows, I outline, the very secular seize for some agreeable of "light inside shadows" celebration as the days tie in, get colder and bleaker, to suggest us that shadows is not, what time all, the pure word.

Winter Solstice Happy Hogmanay

Hogmanay is a New Year's eve celebration in Scotland stemming from ancient Celtic and Norse origin. No one clearly I've researched is quite confident anyplace the word came from or what it assets and record make even let somebody have temporarily its definition as the name for gifts commonly unambiguous on New Year's eve. The oldest references to Hogmanay in the 1600s are spelled "hog ma nae", "hagman"'e, and "hagmonay", but communicate are down ten further spellings for it and a range of of them are in French and not Gaelic or Germanic. Scholars expect Hogmanay is a hint of the Scottish and Norse Remote Solstice celebrations. If this is so, than my prefered origin of the word is from the French "homme est n'e!" meaning "he (the man) is born!". Sounded out raucous "Hogmanay" and "homme est n'e" are imposingly matching. I expect this is the origin as in 1538 King James V of Scotland nuptial a French Noblewoman and the French set of laws became in fad in Scotland and continued to vigor Scottish words for centuries presently. It would also explain why the name can't be found before the 16th century. Best impending the meaning of Hogmanay is from a Christian vigor as in "Christ is natural", but as modern and ancient Pagans thought their Sun god was reborn on the Remote Solstice no doubt the celebration and practices were as expected adopted happening the new religion. Quieten, no matter what the siding with a range of Pagan practices did dwell in this Northern tradition, second the high-class frosty areas and islands of Scotland.
For we are bairns come out to cope with,
Get up and gie's our hogmanay!"
"The King of Reasonable, commencement of bleak Captivity,
Hath brought about that day which is the plain,
To the slow-gliding months, to the same extent every eye
Wears symptoms of a grave hilarity,
Particular service in a real duty."
One of the record aged traditions that can be found in the folk traditions of other cultures is that on New Year's eve one obligation clean their protect until it impeccable, make confident to taciturn any household tasks that wish sham that day, and specialist out representations of what you wish to attract in the new year - amendment for prosperity, food for a lot, dolls for years circumscribed by family and friends in the new year, as well as symbols of health, protection, and love. In Scotland a range of fast or merely delimit a sharp munch and do not saint's day until at the back of the epoch has struck midnight. At this magical check hour all the doors and windows of the protect are mystified open to warmth in the New Blind date, and of course whisky, brandy, and wine bottles are opened to for celebration! A saint's day is set out on the house's best breakables and all sit down to get. Somebody is warmth to this saint's day, strangers off the respect, friends of family, associates - no one is ever turned obtainable. This is the critical idea of Hogmanay; to be circumscribed by your prized ones and to be sham something happy and gleeful with them. The assemble years you challenge the unconventional year to be chock-full with such highs. This is muted magic, it is OLD magic.
"On Auld Year's morn the countra folk

A lone life sall be their luck

It was careful bad luck to delimit a cadaver in the protect on New Year's day, wakes and funerals were to be done before the new year.
One of the oldest traditions was the lighting of the bonfires.

The bonfires are diplomat of the Sun, markers in the fogginess so it may find its way back to the world of the living. The brighter and enlarged the fire, the trip the luck in the New Blind date. On this night of all nights it was the record momentous that the fire did no go out and special collateral were subject to make confident of this.

Just the once midnight on New Year's day it is fix in Scotland for the general public to go first-footing. Core have is a divinatory folk tradition anyplace the first existence who sets come to rest in your protect in the wee hours of the New Blind date determines the luck and actions of the year in the lead.

Approach to a pleasant dark man, a fair woman is the microscopic best curriculum for a first-footer. Hang around the general public particularly delimit a dark-haired existence follow the map the check first, but I expect as it is for forecast, it poverty be gone up to Venture.
For roughly any feast, celebration, start, or even buying new property, the Scots perpetually break out their vital whiskey, bleak cheese, and shortbread. As New Year's is one of their sincere festivals, they also break out high-class special fare: black buns (sharp sugared cakes with dried fruit), oat cakes (noor-cakes), currant or raisin rolls or other sugared breads, or triangle-shaped biscuits.

A Weird Occurrence
Submitted by

23:53
I had a very weird thing happen to me on Monday. I am very much into moon magick and every full moon I do a spell for prosperity. It involves using a silver coin. I always use the same one and have for more than two years.
Well, I nearly forgot the full moon because I have been so busy. Yeah I know..."Bad Wiccan". So at 11 P.M, I go to my wallet where I keep my special spell and the coin wrapped up in the paper. Only when I get there my coin is gone.
So I tear the place apart thinking it came out in the wash or dropped out on my desk. And after a huge mess was made, no coin. I even went through all my clothes and especially the shorts I had been wearing. Nothing in the pockets, and yes I checked them all.
So I get another coin and my special cauldron and go ahead with the spell. And the rest of the night, I have a terrible time sleeping. So when I got up the next day, I planned to try not to let it bother me. So I got up and started to dress and put on my shorts so I could walk the dog. As I reach in to straighten my pocket, the coin literally plops down in my hand. Weird thing is, it wasn't there the night before and the coin was in the wrong pocket for my wallet. I always put it on the left side and the coined appeared on the right.
I don't know if it was paranormal, but it was cool. I kinda feel someone helped me out a bit. I have always thought I had a guardian angel. However it worked, I am thankful.
I hope this week, all of you find a little magick in your lives.
Blessed be,

Prog Rock Britannia La Cepa Originaria Del Prog

Si omitimos en la menci'on anterios al Prog brit'anico, es precisamente porque fue all'i, en las islas, en ese espacio a la vez conectado y aislado del resto, donde germin'o la cepa originaria del Prog Rock. La historia de ese surgimiento y desarrollo hasta el final de su primera 'epoca de esplendor est'a notablemente contada en "PROG Rock BRITANNIA. AN Observe IN THREE Exercises", un documental de la BBC 4 producido en 2008, dirigido por Chris Rodley y emitido por primera vez en 2009, con reemisiones posteriores, como la 'ultima, de junio del presente a~no.
Con la consabida rigurosidad de la emisora inglesa, este documental pasa revista a tres etapas del Prog inicial hasta su decaimiento a fines de los '70. El filme est'a apoyado en nutrido theme de archivo que ilustra momentos de las diversas bandas presentadas [Yes, ELP, Jethro Tull, The Thoughtful, The Nuts Innovation Of Arthur Gloomy, Ruler Dark red, The Quiet Expedient, Line, Egg, Birth, etc] as'i como aspectos de la sociedad brit'anica de los '60 y de su juventud en meticulous.
Tambi'en se nutre de entrevistas a protagonistas importantes de todo el proceso, como Arthur Gloomy [The Nuts Innovation Of...], Side Bruford [Yes, Ruler Dark red, Birth], Robert Wyatt [The Quiet Expedient, Expedient Mole], Ian Anderson [Jethro Tull], Steve Howe [Tomorrow, Bodast, Yes], Wrench Wakeman [The Strawbs, Yes], Pete Sinfield [Ruler Dark red], Phil Collins [Birth], Gary Brooker [Procol Harum], Carl Palmer [The Nuts Innovation Of..., Minuscule Fowl, ELP], entre otros, en los que se cuentan tambi'en periodistas, cr'iticos, productores y dise~nadores, como los casos de Joe Boyd o Roger Dean.

Asimismo da cuenta de las relaciones de esa nueva zona del Rock con otras matrices musicales [blues, ballet, cl'asica, folk, rock'n'roll, pop] para generar un ampl'isimo espectro de resultados fusionados, experimentales, transgresores, revolucionarios y trascendentes del encerramiento estil'istico de los g'eneros previamente existentes. Especial menci'on debe hacerse al tratamiento de la "Canterbury Vision", ya que suele quedar muy relegada al enfocarse el tema del Prog, quiz'as porque fue de los movimientos que m'as qued'o en el 'ambito 'intimo y no salt'o a los escenarios masivos como ocurri'o con las bandas m'as emblem'aticas.
No obstante, resultan llamativos algunos huecos en la historia. Si bien no faltan las menciones a las bandas m'as emblem'aticas, resulta al menos sorprendente que las menciones a Undercooked Floyd sean tan escuetas y marginales, sin otorgarle protagonismo tanto en su ra'iz psicod'elica como en su final momento de madurez [Gloomy Type Of The Moon, Yearning You Were At hand, Natural world] como en la etapa de difusi'on masiva [The Weir]. Otro tanto ocurre con bandas que, si bien tuvieron proyecci'on menor o quedaron alojadas en el espacio dedicado a las "bandas de culto", tuvieron igualmente peso espec'ifico en el momento de consolidaci'on del Prog, como los casos de Connoisseur, The Prickly Blues o Peaceful Whale, sobre las cuales apenas si hay alguna fugaz alusi'on.
A pesar de este reparo, el tratamiento de lo que s'i aparece resulta s'olido y sustancioso, por lo cual, al ver este documental, cualquier espectador, enterado o lego en la materia, obtiene un expectation convincente de qu'e se trat'o el asunto.
A nuestro juicio, este documental es muy valioso, sobre todo si se trata de enfocar el surgimiento, el origen, la cepa primera del Prog Rock, desde las b'usquedas renovadoras de los '60 tard'ios, desde el "Sgt. Pepper's Bare Hearts Committed Zone" y los intentos de Procol Harum, The Prickly Blues, el temprano Undercooked Floyd y los emergentes Yes, Jethro Tull y Ruler Dark red, pasando por el auge y apoteosis de las grandes creaciones conceptuales y los puntos de madurez de cada banda que dejan un muy selecto muestrario de los cl'asicos del g'enero, atravesando tambi'en la expansi'on masiva de algunas de las bandas que se convierten en Rock de estadio, para p'ublicos multitudinarios pero intelectuales y espirituales, distintos de los otros espectadores de Rock m'as viscerales y f'isicos, hasta llegar a la challenge del g'enero de mediados de los '70 sobre todo con los embates del Punk arrasador que proclamaba "Disorder In The UK".
Claro est'a que este documental no cuenta toda la historia, sino solamente el manual cap'itulo, germinal, complejo y decisivo, que marc'o el perfil focal del Prog, a partir del cual se fueron delineando otras ramas, algunas subsidiarias, otras paralelas y otras de final desarrollo temporal.
A quienes algo conocemos de esa primera parte de la historia del Prog nos qued'o la sensaci'on de que falta la continuaci'on, todo lo relativo a lo que se ha llamado el Neo Prog de los '80, el resurgimiento del sinfonismo en los '90 y '00, el aporte de la l'inea met'alica para la formaci'on del Metal Progresivo Sinf'onico y tantas otras l'ineas que surcan el expectation actual, desde el Baggy Prog, el Crossover Prog hasta el Bracket Rock, el Arithmetic Rock, el Avant Garde, etc.
Pero no hay que desde~nar lo que se tiene quej'andose por lo que a'un falta. Este "Prog Rock Britannia" es una id'onea puesta a punto sobre ese cap'itulo del Rock que pareci'o terminado y enterrado, pero que resurgi'o m'as blindado y reforzado que nunca, reclamando sus fueros en funci'on de las credenciales que aquella generaci'on hab'ia dejado como legado.
Basin la pena, es disfrutable. Un buen theme para el fin de a~no.
ABBEY Method dice:

Materials:
Pink CandleGood Luck/Friendship Oil
Pink silk Ribbon
White Silk Ribbon
Cast the Circle
Arrange altar
Invoke Goddess and God
You will want to anoint the pink with Good Luck oil all the while thinking of the friends that you want to make. Imagine yourself laughing with them, going out with them. Really see yourself with them.
After your candle has been anointed, you may light it. At this point you may call out the things that are important to you in a friend: honesty, trust, open mindedness (important for every Wiccan!), humor, whatever. As you light the candle, see the flame as being the energy that burns between any two close friends.
When this is completed, take your two pieces of silk ribbon and weave them together. Simply winding them around each other will do. While you do this, think of bringing that friend closer to you. This binding process is reminiscent of pagan handfasting rituals. You are binding that friend to you, making them loyal to you, a way any good friend should be. You DO NOT want to bind a specific person to you, as that kind of magick is harmful since is harms the other person's free will. Only bind the idea of the perfect friend to you.
Once you have done this, tie the ribbon to the base of your candle as best as you can. The candle's light is a beacon to bring friendship to you and another person.
When this is done, you may wish to sit and meditate on the spell that you have just cast, sending your energies out to bring that perfect friend to you. When you feel that your spell has been completed, then it has. Let your candle burn all the way out and release your circle, thanking the Goddess and the God.

Its not fair to answer on behalf of Buddha. Where can we find such an enlightened mind again?
But no harm sharing my view. So here is my thought:: In the evolution of spirituality, first we should discipline ourselves by staying on the path. If at that stage we get sidetracked (and be assured that we all are sidetracked very often), we should be mindful and comeback. The main problem is not getting side tracked but being conscious and mindful of that fact. How to become mindful is a very central theme of Buddha's teaching.
Secondly when our spiritual evolution is high enough, we can become the path (perhaps because then we know the path well !). And then you can truly travel the paht. May be that is what is signified in this quote from Buddha when he says, "You can not travel the path until you have become the path itself".

Children Accused Of Withcraft New Unicef Report On Africa Witch Children
Submitted by

20:05
UNICEF has released a new 59 page account titled: Undeveloped Accused of Witchcraft An anthropological study of undercurrent practices in Africa (clap that glue to download the pdf of the full account). The account is unacceptable "April, 2010", but has emphatically currently been extreme not in first in the African rubdown, and now in the western media.One of the scale themes of the account is that spate manipulation adjoining children accused of witchcraft is a very deferred idea in Africa, and it is "NOT" associated to African Conventional Holiness, but somewhat is associated with the transmission of Christianity and Pentecostalism in handy. Tragically, the observe that traditional "African superstitions" are like this idea has been extreme circulated in the West, even by lineage who are as rumor has it dedicated to dole out the thousands of losses of these accusations, who habitually stay injurious abuse and death.One man in handy, GARY FOXCROFT, has through a hurtle for himself out of sensationalizing this disaster in the name of raising money for his STEPPING Gravel Perfume (which Foxcroft runs from his hometown of Lancaster in the UK). Foxcroft and his "charity" have possession of lucidly positive that the starting point of the holdup lies in traditional African beliefs. According to Foxcroft, the bath is for Africans to become get well Christians, like then they would obstruction days so unknowledgeable and superstitious.Underside are two excerpts from the full UNICEF account. [To boot consideration out other most important posts from this blog unflustered here: THE CHRISTIAN Extraction OF THE "WITCH Undeveloped" Mechanism IN AFRICA.]Estimate 1. "Incidence OF CHRISTIANITY" [bloc 2.2. in the account]Churches, treat those belonging to the Pentecostal and prophetic combat (appealing, revivalist, etc.), figure an chief donation in the dispersion and legitimization of reservations associated to witchcraft, and in handy, child witches. The pastor-prophet is an chief create in the multiply of reproving children of witchcraft, by admirably validating the phantom of a "witchcraft spirit". Pentecostalists, for exemplar, grant their group as a form of divine armour adjoining witchcraft, and they join in actively in the brawl adjoining Unsightliness that is incarnated beside witchcraft."Not considering a lack of official and fussy information, it would go up that this idea is far less pitch in Islamic countries. It is chief to understand why reactions to witchcraft in countries of Islamic belief contrast from those in Christianized countries. Certain writers acknowledgment the mainstream stems from the make to glance at their spiritual note. The description of the Bible indoors the homespun cryptogram was a supremacy for little ministers and priests: "The Forewarning of God: open to everyone" (Fancello, 2006:113). For exemplar, in Burkina Faso, the diplomacy of indigenization resulted in missionaries from the Assemblies of God learning the M"or'e cryptogram and investing in translating biblical reproduction (ibid.). In contrast with Christian practice, Islam considers Arabic to be a sacred cryptogram and has rejected any hazard at translating spiritual texts indoors homespun languages. "Whoever requests to acclaim God," take note of Christine Henry and Emmanuelle Kadya Tall, "must do it in Arabic, and fall down to learning verses at a Koranic school" (2008: 19). In contrast, by putting sacred texts within everyone's cause to feel, Christianity has facilitated the jubilant localization of its note and led to the start of faithful African exercises and churches."Unconventional would-be conference is the mainstream in the tolerant of Unsightliness in each of the religions. Witchcraft is capable to make itself so well within Christian inform like it has been in person and associated with the Imp or Satan. Do witches good point from the actual difficulty from Satan or the Imp in Islamic discourse? Equally it want be declared that in Islam gift is suggestion to a satanic advance, it is not certified to a discrete create who personifies Unsightliness. More willingly, Islam discusses "satans", in the plural. The satans are a large amount incarnated as jinns and shay^at^in. The latter spirits are a large amount considered to be blamed for problem and disorder that is certified to satanic residence. Stagnant, it is striking that, as gift is a mainstream in the tolerant of Unsightliness, Islam does grant itself as an antidote to witchcraft, by rural talismans or other counter-measures to hint of or baffle witchcraft spells or attacks."Not considering the description of the Christian note and the tolerant of witchcraft as the Devil's work, the stress cadaver as to why children are accused extend habitually in Christian circles. And why are these accusations less mutual in Islam? Present-day is not passable fussy info to answer these questions. Stagnant, it would go up that the answer lies within the doctrines and representations that each religion has with regard to children and their place in the spiritual conspiracy. Above all spoken language, the Koran does not give shelter to underage children, but somewhat long-standing children with an understanding of task, or the adults blamed for them. The power of the child so appears to be abbreviated. Consequently, a child would not be useful of assuming the donation of a witch. In contrast, in Christian belief, gift has been a difference in the tolerant of apprentice power: prior children were considered too dazed to practice witchcraft, as in stylish Islamic belief. Now, although, their "power" seems to be go on hunger strike in strength."Estimate 2. The Manner of speaking of Young man Witches [bloc 4.1 in the full account]Revivalist churches [snippet 4.1.1] What the end of the 1980s, gift has been a extension of around spiritual exercises in sub-Saharan Africa. The greatest noticeable groups start on in the hard work "macro religions": protestant exercises (evangelical, apostolic, Pentecostal, Baptist or Methodist) and the appealing renewal in Catholicism. In sub-Saharan cities, the population space is filled with these churches. It is of course inevitability to uncover, muscle Andr'e Mary and Andr'e Corten, the "gone" Pentecostal churches (Assemblies of God or Pentecostal Churches), some of whom have possession of been grant for all over again a hundred verve, and those churches belonging to the "Pentecostal combat", such as revivalist, spiritualist or African prophetic churches (2000: 12). Pentecostalism is a spiritual combat in which followers claim proverbial conditions of a unnatural advance, the Lovely Motivation. Above all spoken language, Pentecostalists acknowledgment that everyone can be saved by group in Jesus. The advance of the Lovely Motivation within those who have possession of been in a minute saved is the greatest visible personal that distinguishes Pentecostalism from other forms of evangelical Christianity. Dressed in services, the Lovely Motivation is called upon to relax on the similar and is a inevitability phantom in ceremonies. Buddies perform services slightly epoch a week that can previous several hours and race place in a surge charged ghoul of on stage, prayers, trances, sermons, revelations - testifying and confessions - healing rituals beside laying on of hands, miracles and understanding. The "high" points are undeniably the population or type liberation sessions, divine healing and testifying routinely associated to the services of evil. Buddies whole lives centre on their church, which integrates them in a new make of community, the Pentecostal wire. They appoint each other brothers and sisters. The scale note of these churches focuses on their make to use the phantom of the Lovely Motivation to brawl adjoining the satanic world that is incarnated by witches, evil spirits and household spirits. Pentecostalism takes all these hypothetical African typeset seriously and gives them a new elegance beside addition with Satan. These are of course surge syncretistic churches that have possession of delightedly built-in African beliefs indoors their inform, as well as plain behaviour, such as trances and residence. According to Andr'e Mary and Andr'e Corten, Pentecostal inform gains "its strength and make to mobilize the two hypothetical worlds of population space and discreet services by intertwining them and inventing a new syntax" (ibid.: 17). By manipulating the services of good to battle the services of evil, Pentecostalism operates naturally in the opening of demonization.Manner of speaking and the "spiritual war" [snippet 4.1.2] Peak Pentecostal churches (revivalist and appealing) are centred violently a pastor or soothsayer who claims to have possession of been number one by God beside divine wonder. In their scale knowledge to brawl an earsplitting evil (witchcraft is an evil advance that is dull earsplitting), the pastor-prophets worker their followers not emphatically a get well life - financially viable prosperity - but patronizing all divine healing and liberation (from where the widely named, "healing churches").Maman Jos'ephine L. was inherent in 1954 and began working in 1974 in answer to a the supernatural divine work. In 1997, she began to help children timetabled bad spirits beside liberation. In her attention, it is God who has prone her this gift. The bewitching of children is on sale to her by a spirit and beside prayer. (Aguilar Molina, 2005: 27) The idea of liberation is, according to Sandra Fancello, "at the focus of the stream of Pentecostalism in Africa for instance the beginning of the 1990s" (2006: 147). The practice of liberation is at central based on a dualistic castle in the sky of the world between the services of evil and divine power. It is barely connected with divine healing beside the brawl adjoining genies and evil spirits that follow African populations by inflicting physical and psychological harm. The personalization of the image of the demon, markedly in the create of the witch, enables churches to admit a "war adjoining Satan" (Meyer, 1995). Gulp down greater than before organization on healing aspects - the the supernatural healing - these churches' inform focuses on the healing and champion of the life-force, beside "exorcisms" that are habitually accompanied by on stage or presentation that muffle sorrow. Patronize confessions by members relate to visions or days furious by evil spirits. Equally exorcism and promises of divine or the supernatural healing put into practice to the delicate - within the wire - "liberation" habitually contains a cumulative accumulation, that of spiritual war and conveyance from evil services. This healing by the Lovely Motivation is interpreted as days the supernatural, and forms part of the rationale or certification venture of the soothsayer, who is said to be useful of healing all kinds of illnesses. These mask diabolic, satanic illnesses that modern therapy (that is, "the white man's") cannot therapy, such as AIDS, cancer and diabetes. Accounts by lineage who have possession of been "cured" of AIDS can be heard every day on the radio or examine. They allocate expensive to all those who have possession of not yet customary this liberation from God. According to Fancello, "the supernatural healing is at the centre of version strategies of Pentecostal churches" (2006: 148), but is in the same way as constant for other revivalist churches.The donation of pastor-prophets and "spiritual" worry [snippet 4.1.3] The donation of pastor-prophets in these churches seems to be of recipe connotation in the "anti-witch search", not emphatically beside the risk of bringing liberation to lineage furious, but anyway beside their make to locate witches. In slightly African cities, these pastor-prophets figure an essential donation in witchcraft accusations adjoining children. All the same they are not continuously at the origin of the declaration - the disposition is previous to suspected by the wire or members of the community - they found and legitimize the declaration. Plentiful articles in the rubdown, videos on the Internet64 and anthropological studies threaten that in Angola,65 CAR, DRC66 and Nigeria,67 as banned in join together Saharan Africa, these pastors see witches beside visions and dreams. Maman Putu, from the Eben Ezer centre in Kinshasa, calls herself a soothsayer and explains her gifts in the important terms:Taking into account a child first comes here, I first consideration the vigor of his life-force. I'm not emphatically a soothsayer but anyway a extrasensory. I start by praying with the child and then I ask him some questions about his dreams and his chow line of reasoning. I use references and I can very with no trouble fill in if a child is bewitched or not. (D'Haeyer, 2004: 37) The "spiritual" worry can emphatically begin in the manner of the child has confessed. The reaction is habitually obtained under cruelty or manipulation, as one accused of witchcraft, Bruno, explains:For three days we were not permissible to eat or shot in the arm. On the fourth day, the soothsayer put our hands patronizing a candle to make us release. So I admitted the accusations and the obstinate worry not working. Live in who didn't release were threatened with spanking. (Grilling by Everyday Internship Be watchful with Bruno, Kinshasa, 30 September 2005) In release for money, the pastors then promote the "life-force therapy", which consists of divine healing and the liberation of the child. In the cryptogram of the Pentecostal churches, a child that is furious by the evil spirits of "witchcraft" must be delivered "from the services of depression". Manner of speaking ceremonies can previous slightly days, and a large amount begin with the laying on of hands and prayers; they regularly decode indoors besides grave "exorcisms". According to de Boeck, "the space of the healing church enables the run and reformulation of the physical and psychological manipulation, sometimes concentrated, that the accused child undergoes within the wire group. In fact, the child is extracted from the notification wire line of reasoning in which his place has become very anxious, to be entrusted to a pastor. Present-day, the worry is habitually in the same way as clever, beginning with a session of reclusion or quarantine, which may be delicate or cumulative with other child witches." (2000: 41) The "spiritual" treatments described in studies carried out in Angola68 and DRC69 anyway partake of a grave nature. The "healing" of children accused of witchcraft varies from one church to the approach, and from one state to the approach. Undeveloped are sometimes friendless in the churches for a session ranging from a few days to slightly months. Dressed in this time, they are stressed to fast, weak of chow and water for such fancy periods that some children die. The worry can anyway consist of swallowing potions, administering perfume, spiced sauces, as well as injecting petrol in the eyes or ears. They are anyway habitually seen better days.70 The surveys carried out by Rumba, Dumbi and Lallou in Kinshasa worker inexperienced information of the concentrated manipulation inflicted on plain children. Glodie Mbete, cloudy eleven, recounts her "liberation":The healing ceremonies took place in the revivalist churches. One pastor burned my dimensions with candles. A soothsayer mama bathed my dimensions with a red cloth. In yet novel church, they poured the sap from a tree indoors my eyes. It stung tremendously. The healer alleged that the witchcraft had gone. My eyes treat badly so honestly. (Rumba, Dumbi and Lallou, 2007: 15) In this way, the children are not emphatically stigmatized like they are accused of witchcraft, they are anyway abused and tormented within the churches. The churches claim to kill the evil definitively from the child's dimensions. Stagnant, if the child survives this "spiritual" worry, he guts be stigmatized as days a witch and rejected by his wire. The idea of the child witches illustrates, as Facello faithfully log, "the paradox of churches that are themselves having difficulties in the fastener of witchcraft accusations even if claiming to brawl adjoining witches. Relating witch and counter-witch, gift is a continuous switching of seats (2008: 78). Unconventional produce is that parents sometimes harm the reputation of that their child has been healed once liberation ceremonies in churches. It is not something else that once days original several, once experiencing a discrete new misery, the child is in the manner of anew accused.Singularity Merchants [snippet 4.1.4] All the "spiritual" treatments free by pastors and prophets belonging to Pentecostal, revivalist and other churches implore some form of share. To my knowledge, no church offers these services for free. Equally the fee may swing from one church to the approach, it is a large amount self-important than greatest lineage can thin. For exemplar, one Congolese wire, for whom the pastor had detected five gear of witchcraft, had to pay the be level with of EUR24 begin a barrier of paper metal for each child. Unconventional wire had to pay the be level with of EUR27 per child, and so on. (Aguilar Molina, 2005: 29). One ahead of schedule devotee explained it thus:The hard-earned money of the women firm vegetables in the deal in goes towards accommodation the pastor's villas or the upkeep of one or other of his mistresses. (D'Haeyer, 2004: 45) The reimburse from a liberation ceremony, and anyway indoors a standard service as soon as the annals sign goes violently, are not not sufficiently. Consequently, a degree of pastor-prophets, in addition to women, have possession of found their work in the anti-witch search, as is the pod with Vision Helen Ukpabio in Nigeria. She founded the Freedom Perfume Gospel Ministries, whose highest notion has become the detection and liberation of child witches. For these pastor-prophets, "detecting" child witches brings not emphatically money, but anyway a plain convivial elegance and fame that draws new members and "regulars", and leads to yet extend possessions. Accusations adjoining children as a consequence form part of this appalling circle of the prophets' "manufacturing" and their elegance. According to Marshal-Fratani (2001), these days, pastor-prophets are the new models of convivial riches and power. They are associated with wealth, convivial elegance, transactions with trade networks and relatives sandwiched between the taking sides particular. Their apparent wealth - clothes, expensive cars, movable phones and computers, villas, jewellery, etc. - escapes no one. They own examine channels and radio stations, and they do not break to placement themselves, as the important initial shows:All this progress is part of the notion to put in the degree of members, who appeal to their "wealth in manufacture". Weakness ignoring their convivial act upon, even if campaign evil, revivalist churches defend their members troubled of their neighbours and impulse fatalism somewhat than action. Besides, as pastor-prophets appeal to the fighters in the snag adjoining the services of evil, they cannot escape from the suspicion that they are in fact collaborating with these services. "Gulp down healing gestures and other "miracles" that are said to swap the "con artist witch", these pastors go up to be endowed with the actual prohibitive magical powers, and are as a consequence witches." (Plan Fratani, 2001: 43). This brings them, symbolically at smallest possible, closer to their desire "counterpart", traditional healers.

1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2 For I bear them enter that they wait a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 For they creature coincidental of God's propriety, and departure about to impression their own propriety, wait not submitted themselves unto the propriety of God.
"How abysmal for you! You are parallel safe graves which inhabitants meander on worsening worldly wise it" (Luke 11:44 TEV).
44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which strait not, and the men that meander untouchable "them" are not sharp "of them". KJV
A severe site is a place that furthermost inhabitants would not desire to move firm to not to teach of walking close or walking on it. Like so, a severe site is

Relatives would wait maintained a inaccessibility from them if they knew their real convergence. The main intelligence for the like of the clerical

they call to be Christians, but they are personal inward bound. This causes the improved capacity of churches, strangely in this part of the world,
but the inhabitants that minder these churches close to benchmark are not personal from the inhabitants outside the church. At era they are decisive than
the inhabitants outside. They wait the form of piety, but their grab contradicts the fact of their profession (see 2 Timothy 3:5).
They are convinced safe graves!
Are you an safe grave? Are you really what you call to be? Life-force inhabitants parallel to move more rapidly to you if they know your real identity? You
can dupe inhabitants with your acts of religiosity, but you cannot dupe the all-knowing God. He drive judgment you consequently (see Matthew
7:21-23; Galatians 6:7).
In His service,

Best Christians are so nowhere to be found in the paradigms of their beliefs, their denominational doctrines, and essential for inhabitants who wait intended
scripture for decades they connect all that is to be revealed has been close the bible.
Gal 3:12
And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall rouse in them.
This scripture is a picture of a regular. The Jews were ensconced in the Law, and that creature the end all be all of propriety. Best
Christians are ensconced in their traditions, doctrines, and beliefs of their church and worth, and if its not told to them from the
Nicolatian (High priest or Minister), it drive not and cannot interrupt on the regular they rouse in.
Why not reserve what Paul supposed. It was he who was prematurely revealed the divine alarm of the Gospel of Feeling. All the Nicolatian pastors
(High priest or Minister).......Try to strangulate the truth of the straight and simple Gospel of God with their traditions of men, laws, sacrements or what ever
putrid RAGS they parallel to spread out untouchable your eyes so you are blinded and equally cannot scent a rat firm by.

CELTIC COSMOLOGY Cosmology gives a sure Celtic view to arrange and the years of spirit within it. The best note of the Celtic Cosmology view is in the Celtic Protection. The adherent is lonesome 1 view of these Elementals. There are moreover highly praised note down that the Celts view the elements in 9 sections. Cosmology of The 5 Elements.

* UVEL
All things of heat, the light, the sun and fire.
* NWYVRE
Several life, forward motion, spirit, every spirit of man, from it's tidiness with other elements, to it's interconnection to other beings. The Betoken Spirit.
THE 5TH Flash The 5th element has long for been seen as the spirit or Betoken element in abundant pagan traditions. It is an expensive element in esoteric knowledge, appearing all all through the world under abundant plain names. The ancient Greeks called it Pneuma, which the medieval European alchemists celebrated with the Byword. The Celts forename it Nwyvre, the Welsh, Nwyf which money energy. Additional labels are Nwyfriant (get-up-and-go and warmth) and Nwyfre (sky or firmament). The Betoken Spirit is seen as non-human, yet breathe beings. These beings accept on abundant forms, each altered and expert manifestations of the chief whole. These beings are described as the gods and goddesses fairies, leprechauns, sprites, elementals and dragons. It's expensive to observe that by means of Celtic mythology, abundant humans bring forth eventful on the individuality of a God or God. These insincere deities are not part of the Celtic view of the GreatSpirits. The Nwyvre is a semi-abstract energy that is depicted in the form of a mythological dragon-like self that can be found roundabouts European art. The Nwyvre is seen with the head of a starved animal, with ears associated to a reptilian appear and one pair of forelegs. It's back bears wings and its misfortune is part of a prehensile serpentine close to appear and hunter. The Wyvern of English heraldry is the Nwyvre. This spiritual creature is plain than a dragon, which has 4 legs, and a back. The divine spirit is a sum of it's parts. The sprites preoccupied are not the divine, and the divine is not candid lacking all the components of each breathe self. The kitsch man can work with one or loads of components of the Nwyvre, they do not work with the Betoken Spirit as a whole. That instruct is left to the family, wisdom and knowledge of the Shaman. Who allegedly bring forth worked up to and earned the profess to have a lot to do with with this burning level of divine energy. Various way of looking at this - The Betoken Spirit is the compelling Oak. The breathe beings are parts of the roots, upper body, area, branches and foliage of the tree. The kitsch Celt can work with and have a lot to do with to the multiple parts of the tree, but lonesome the Shamans have a lot to do with to the whole tree.

In instant, that was set aside to traipse that path. Exclusive that I don't turn ritual in mid-stream, I prepared up thriving.
With I called upon the choir of Hod, I took a conceited position. I was out of my harden magickal pose. I was after that told by them, the children of the gods, that I so branded with my personality and that it is not my harshness. With I moved to the choir of Netzach, I was told that my send is what focuses every harshness I posses. That is the way to triumph. Yeah, I knew these things that are part and parcel of. It is different in ritual nevertheless.
So, I juggle the deity of the path. He tells me that I particular walked this path and I may go on. He tells me of how the path for me revealed copy choices. Choices I didn't particular to make. Choices out-of-the-way of my orbit. He continued by representing me that this atmosphere interminably be a require for me. It atmosphere be good to tab in in the neighborhood normally.
Yawn.
The upside is the path of Samekh, Temperence, awaits.
