Booger Devils

Devil, Satan, Booger, Monster of the Night, Baellzebub, whatevah!... All ya'll Christians can be askeerd of them if ya want to. You can stay on YOUR straight and narrow and fear burning like an oily old rag for eternity if that's what floats that proverbial boat.
If you are led by the nose by beliefs of an entity that causes BAD things to happen around you. Led by the devil on your shoulder telling you to do evil shit to others, like child abuses, rapes, elder abuse, animal abuse,mass murders etc, that's all well and good for you. BUT.....I'ma tell the home truth here....THERE is no entity that does these things. Some people do get mental illnesses that keep them from always knowing right from really wrong. Some are so jerked up by their ears they've never learned the niceties of being a good person. And then, there is just Purentee EVIL clothed in human DNA.
John Wayne Gacy; Evil
Charlie Manson; Evil
Timothy Mc Veigh ; From the Oklahoma City Horrors; Evil
Adolph Hitler & Henchmen; EVIL

They each and everyone had their wits about them, they planned and carried out their evil deeds. None were NUTS....They were simply inhumane human sheit.

I don't fear a devil/booger. I pretty much stay on track because I love to do the right thing. That does NOT mean that I wouldn't try to tear you a new one if i caught you doing evil stuff...it does mean that I believe that there IS Karma. Karmic debts to be paid.... Whew, I am hoping hard that I have pretty well cleaned up most of my Karmic Debts this time around, it's HARD ya'll!.
Anyhowser....BE good cause ya know it's the right thing to do. Pay it forward(what a brilliant thing there) and know that your kindnesses do not go un-noticed. You maybe didn't notice your reward right off or it hasn't come yet. But cockleshells & bells, just do it right and ya have no boogers to fear, not even bad Karma if you're lucky.
Love ya'll beaucoups!

Awwwwww CRAP...It happened.....

I bet ya'll can't wait to find out what dopey thing I did today, right?
Naw, I know, it's not THAT important, not up against whether to have cream gravy or au jus, but at mi casa, it was a real butt kicker.
....I got dressed, got in the van, made sure I had extra meds (in case) the cell(in case) my ID, my Bank card, my inhaler...the KEYS. Took a long slow drive, enjoying some prayed for rain, took care to TAKE care on the road.

Then I went by Michael's to get some small chain for a new piece of jewelry. Talked to several people, made sure the girl gave me my 10% Tues. AARP discount and left. Next took Ron to Panera for lunch. Great food, nice easy going crowd. Mostly women with Laptops (Free WiFi)... Finished my Mediterranean Veggie on Ciabatta. Went to brush any loose crumbs off my shirt and came close to having a flat out FIT! I had my shirt on WRONGSIDE OUT and hubby had not even noticed,OMG....I slunk(Slank?) off to the restroom and jerked it off and back on muttering like a pissed off squirrel. GAH! Do Not Trust your mate to tell you you look pretty ignorant sitting in the MIDDLE of a nice eatery with your blouse inside out.
Shit! Merde! Crapola! That is All.

Crap....I keep thinking I'm too olde for......

All this blogging stuff! :) The blog it's self is cool, it's all the little things; type size, font style, header stuff, footers background ummmmm okay. I WILL get it all together ONE day! Until then, If you're reading it and it's a mess, hold on, I might can fix it! :)

Gettin Ready To Put the Pagans Together: Moon Workings.

Okie dokie. Time to get all jiggy and full of lightning and thunder and steel wool and baking soda with lemon juice.
The world is filthy. It's not only dirty from the past 150 years of coal burning, wood burning, rainforest and witch burnings. It's filthy to the core with corruption of so many kinds and so many, many levels. I could probably sit here and name names you would all recognise, bring up all the nastiness we've ever encountered in our life times and still not get even within spitting distance of what actually went wrong and exactly when it began to happen. But there is this; All the Witches/Wizards/Wise and Cunning folk were run to ground and made to act invisble for the past several hundred years. There is NO FRICKIN SATAN in my world and so how could I worship that entity?
Though there IS EVIL! Evil is very ugly and wears a mantle of thick, white, cold ice over it's shoulders. It has no gender. No heart. No soul. It has only need and lust as it's companions. Lust and greed are the leash that powers it forward. Lust for sexual gratification, no matter the cost. Greed for land, no matter how many backs are broken in it's acquisition. Salivating, slobbering quests for more and more and more money, to stow away and look at over and over.
It's an edgy time. Shall we all go down in 2012? Do we care, if it means a new start maybe? Shall we nuke ourselves out of existence? Hmmm. I really hope not.
Shall we Proud Pagans, witches, non witches, preachers and teachers and lovers of all life begin coming together under our own Firery Mantle and see if we can turn this all back around to decency and kindness and guidelines and a love deep enough and nurturing enough to save ourselves from the cold icy heart of selfishness and deceit?
The Moon Mother and a few other pointers for a perfect time to come together can be found. It can be planned. It can come to fruition. We are many, and world wide. Shall we move forward with a plan?
Aho...So mote it be. Amen!

Was I ABLE to help at all?

     I have a beautiful, sweet, wonderful niece with 4 littles who has had the worst luck mostly since she began to have her family. She is a Christian and was raised by my a Baptist Minister and his sweet wife who might as well have gotten a degree in the Baptist Ministry herself. She ministered right along side of him for almost 40 years. He passed 4 years ago and that really knocked my niece on her tail. She was her daddy's baby, her Go To.....


   She broke up with a man who turned out REALLY NO GOOD :...Her car has broken down, he turned her and her 4 children out and kept all the storage stuff and she can't, without calling in the law and causing her mom more angst, and so she is beaten down to the marrow. No job, no car, no dad, 1/2 of hers and kids stuff gone. :) Anyhow. I asked her yesterday to let me pray for her MY way. And she agreed to that.

 I sat a small altar up for this particular wish and called in Kwan Yin, Mary, Queen of heaven, Yemaya and Jesus. Offerings and prayers and hopes for the very most best to her and the children....and now,  onto the asshole who did this to such a good woman!

Witches & Wiccans & Neo Pagans OH MY!

     Civil Wars pit factions that are on two sides of the same issue. Brother against brother, father against son..sister against sister, in fights to the deaths.
 Un-civilized wars appear to be brewing right now in the Pagan/Neo Pagan/ Wiccan/ Non Wiccan Witch with no lineage against witch with some kind of lineage.
I am a Witch, plain and simple. I can conjure I can pray, I do spell work. I make potions, I try to heal, I counsel, I use yarbs (herbs), I read Tarot, I ask different gods/goddesses for different things.
I have no fight nor fuss with any other pagan paths. Can't there be a peace council called to see what's up with all this?
Can't we all just use our majik as we choose and not constantly take a bite out of someone else's ass because they don't practice the craft as we do? Don't you see that if we divide for such sorry ass reasons, we will have given the christian, muslim, and he other God worshipers a big LAUGH, at our own expense? And we will have been CONQUERED.
 I shall live and let live. I shall respect your paths and all others. I will walk mine with a very small hand picked crew if necessary, but I will NOT go to war and cut someone's throat because their beliefs differ from my own. I will not fight my brothers and sisters. I will live to serve the Pagan Community, with joy and trust and love. Will you?
Blessings on ALL Pathways.

Is Your Spirit Happy?

Is Your Spirit Happy?

Having a Happy Spirit is not something we think or talk about alot, as a rule. But our Spirit is so very important!

You feed your body food...good for it and bad for it. I'm as guilty as anyone in this over- weight, over-indulged country! I have got to stop that madness. So do we all.

We feed our minds, both with great, interesting things and with drivel. We can't help that, except to try and X it out of our minds; Billboards, radio, television, movies shi**y advertising. You all know that drill!

But unless you are a very Spiritual person (Not neccessarily Religious) you probably haven't pampered and loved your Spiritual self in too long.

I myself am a fairly Non-religious person. I do believe in Jesus...as far as I can tell, He really did accomplish many, many awesome things, and He FEELS like my friend. So I'm cool there. It's that Fearsome and jealous God I'm not into.

Here are some (a few anyhow) ways to boost your spirit and make YOU feel good with who you are . Knowing your Anima, your Soul and what it's needs are is as important as your other needs.

Your Sacred Space.

Even if it can only be your CAR... Keep the area neat and clean. Your Spirit gets all confused if there is nothing but clutter all around it.

Don't hang those Mirror air cleaners in the car if you can help it, but DO keep your favorite scent, or incense in the glovebox. Scents are such calming aides. Spend your drive time listening to music that is soft and mystical.

In whatever Sacred Space you choose, make certain it's YOURS. Not open for business to anyone else. Take time to lie down for a moment or sit back amid scent, soft light, music and count all the good things that day ..NOT the bad. I thought I had no blessings one day..what a crock! I got started and the list did too! LOL

Talk quietly to yourself in caring and uplifting words. Tell yourself that you are important and you DO matter in this world. MAKE yourself believe that. A sad and empty Spirit is so unneccessary.

If your Sacred Space is in the outdoors, so much the better. Walk, or sit, lie in a hammock. Look around and count how MANY different green shades there are. Lie on your back on the grass and play that old cloud game... I swear I saw a whale the other day.:)

Put tiny windchimes in trees , on balconies, in your car, where ever you can...ring them yourself. Don't always wait for a breeze. Take deep breaths. Hold them...exhale them slowly. Rub your face, ruffle the hell out of your hair...laugh like a fool at a good memory.. Don't let CRAPPY stuff in. If all you can afford is 15 minutes , do it twice a day, THREE times a day. Tell your Spirit you're sorry you starved it. Love you. Love your heart and soul. FEED the Universe inside you.

Thanks for reading this, if you did. It was really fun to write!

It WAS Thanksgiving... And now it's...

....almost Winter Solstice/Equinox/Yule/Christmas. :)

Please go here for more! :) Cool site! :)

http://www.candlegrove.com/yule.html

Yule means "feast".
Or maybe"wheel".

However, some who have studied the linguistics tell me that the association of "Yule" with "wheel" (a fond belief you will find in many places, since the words are nearly identical) is a myth. The roots of the two words have about as much similarity in Scandinavian languages as in English. According to one theory, the root word for Yule came from the aboriginal Scandinavians, and has always meant only one thing: the festival at the Winter Solstice. The word for wheel came from the Indo-Europeans who migrated to Scandinavia around 3800 BC (although they didn't even begin to use wheels until about 2500 BC!) The debate points out how ancient the word is.

For ancient Germanic and Celtic people, the impulse to celebrate solstice was the same as for their neighbors to the south -- a celebration of the cycle of nature and a reaffirmation of the continuation of life. But the style and substance of their celebrations took very different shape.

It isn't hard to figure out why.

These northern cultures survived a colder, darker winter for one thing. And they were just as likely to be herders and hunters as farmers.

It's cold, it's dark many more hours than light, and snows cover the fields where your herds might forage. What is there to do but make a delight of necessity, with a great slaughter and feasting?

And what better time to do it than at the point that marks the return of the sun's light and warmth?

My Blood Runs RED and Cold....And Hot!

THIS POST IS NOT A Panty-twist to ANY Non- Red Indian American Native!!!

When October arrives each year, there begins to be the talk of a vacation day for Columbus Day.... November brings Thanksgiving.

Okay now, here's the Rub. I am so  chigger-bit by so many issues  regarding the FIRST PEOPLES to the New World I could just tear out what's left  of my hair (steroids yanno) The Spanish, under a blood thirsty, gold thieving PIRATE( I know, don't go there) came and raped the Americas(it wasn't the Americas then :) ) and killed off it's Native cultures faster than a dose of epsom salts can make ya get rid of your dinner.

 Leif Erickson and Eric the Red and all the other Viking based fellas got here even EARLIER! Yup, they did. and they tried, in the farther north to make a go of it, New(FOUND)land, Iceland Vinland, etc. But they too wanted to live as European and make the Natives peoples into caricatures

 of themselves by modernizing them. WTF?  

And last but never least....The &^%%# Pilgrims had to get into the Act....Yep, cool idea, go and practice your own form of religion and culture. Okay. But DON'T convert the HEATHENS!!!! They don't NEED to be converted any more!

The first Thanksgiving was undoubtedly a scary and sad affair. White folks croaking all over the place because the had no idea how to live and subsist in a new land..They had no squash, beans, pumpkins, roots, nut, berries, and were getting ill at alarming rates most probably from the decidedly different climate and vermin present. Starvation was rearing up. The Indigeous folks meanwhile showed, taught, shared and were humane the best I can figure.

None of that matters. Beginning with the very first broken treaty between the Europeans and ALL indigenous peoples they  got double Effed and left to bleed and bleed and bleed that Good Red NEW world Blood into the ground from the Atlantic to the Pacific. From the Arctic to the faaaaarthest bottom of South America. Their own Heritage was that of wanderers and searchers, from Asia, from Europe in the Sooo long ago...but they displaced no one, they ended no one else's cultures. They burned no books or codices, they destroyed no gods, and no temples, they traded and shared among themselves. Surely they had turf and mates wars... no duh! But the thing is, in the end, thousands of years later, they are still getting slapped in the face with The Pilgrims Thanksgiving and Columbus Day with a passing glance at the token lil indian braves and maidens setting the old picnic table for the ones they were 'serving'.

I am part Cherokee through my daddy. My Red blood and my Green (;]) Irish blood sometimes have hell-acious fusses. I am striped. I love my Celtic Culture, I love my Native to this Continent culture....but they were Native BEFORE it was America. Injuns is only a sloppy way to say Indians -from India  -NOT! So, Ima say I am Celtoi-Trans Siberian, Bering Straits Me! :)

PLEASE....PLEASE if you know of someone being bullied and made fun of, PLEASE step in and  do the best you can to stop it. Befriend the person who is suffering, try to do what you can to make the bullies understand that they look smaller and smaller in the eyes of those whose respect they are trying to gain by showing off their tuffness. If a person is heavy, too skinny, of a different sexual nature that what you consider normal, if they are poor and must dress badly...What-ever you consider to be 'different' PLEASE be the one that makes a difference in their lives. Save a life, save a PERSON... Thanks you! 
And Be the Best that You CAN BE! :)
Love ya, Kay
