Namasté Ya'll
Magickal Graphics
Namasté... The Divine in Me recognizes the Divine in You.
We are all from HERE, in our own known universe. We were all born onto this world, onto this earth. It matters so much to me that once we reached a thinking, planning and looking ahead set of senses that different ones of us decided to take up arms and sides and go kill. Instead of seeing each other as close kinfolks to love and cherish and take joy from and give joy unto. The HELL with that....I'm gonna tell us all that we are ALL Humans. We all bleed the same blood. We all hurt, we all love, hate, are fat, thin, multicolored and multifaceted in our reaches for what we believe is Sacred, Holy, Divine, Worshipped, Praised, and Feared.
I want to find that place in all of our hearts where we see the Divine in each other. Namasté.....I want to look up at a rainbow and see the smiling faces of the rainbow hues of faces reflected there, smiling back at me. I want to give thanks to the Universe it's self thanks for all the joy and beauty that's out there showing off for us all, each and every one of us, on ALL continents. I want to stand on the Highest mountain in the world and proclaim ;"We have seen the Divine in each other, all of humanity has, and now there will be Peace. And NOW there will be Peace.
Namasté Ya'll, in love and recognition of your special place in my heart.

No More Edens Left On Earth.
Okay, hold your nose, it's probably gonna get pretty stinkin' in here. !
I'm not a Christian. I do however believe there was a MAN named Jesus who was a superhuman. Healer, Teacher, rabble rouser, out for reforms in Religion and the politics of the Temples.
Do I believe in the Biblical God of Abraham and Moses, and therefore the Creation of man and woman(Adam & Lilith) from dirt, and Eve from a little thing called a rib bone? Nope, not even.
I would love to believe in the place we have been taught to call The Garden of Eden. Wow! That would be nice, huh? Trees and fields and wildflowers and animals walking unafraid and calm...Sweet winds gently soughing through the tall grasses . Clean air to breathe and clean, clear water to drink. Food at your fingertips. Good Food, untainted with chemicals. Uncloned, safe and nutritious foods. Fruits, vegetables, roots, nuts, berries, and meat for carnivores if they choose...but humanely done, if that's possible.
Do you know where there's an Eden? Anywhere? A real Eden? One with no starving peoples and animals due to droughts and famines?Due to joblessness? Due to mis-mangement? Due to anything! A place that has no People whose bellies swell and distend until their thin bones can no longer support them. People who must choose maggoty road kill when they can even find that much. People whose children, their babies die in their arms begging for just SOMETHING in their mouths, and the mothers or fathers who choose to maybe stop their breathing and then kill themselves to stop the pain and the hunger.
Oh my heart is squeezed to a tiny pulsing piece of raw human pain to see and know this. My tiny contributions are NOTHING. Whole nations must stand up and do the right things, ENTIRE NATIONS need to stop their billionjillionaires from hoarding their UNTAXED funds.....C'mon ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE ENOUGH to feed a whole country without ever even knowing it's gone! HELP your fellow humans. So many children have never known that there could be 3 meals a day. A meal every few days sustains them, barely, but they know no differently.
Children in the Americas who are so poor, so cold, so un- seen...the Appalachians was stripped, killed, turned into a wasteland, there are no jobs to make the money to buy the food and the heating oil , or the electricity. That is spreading. Droughts, earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, no jobs, homes lost, homes that will never be recovered.
Aw shit. Eden never was really real, huh? :(*****

That Not-So-Great- Gittin' up Mornin'
When I woke up this morning, the first sound I heard was a very, very expensive one. The frickin' AC. It hasn't been turned off or set to a higher setting than 77º since late March, early April. It began being in the 90's in early April, triple digit by the Ides of....yep there are Ides in other months than March.
Okay the sound of the AC....Made a pot of CHEAP Crappy dark roast Coffee of some kind, cannot afford my favorite at $11.49 a can....So the coffee (?gag) maker burbling out sappy coffee was added to the AC....then the TV turned to yet another (thousandth viewing) of another screaming, neighing, guns firing and fake indians yelling bloody murder while they attack the forked tongue peeps roars from the Living Room ten feet away, where my retired hubby resides 18 hours a day right now while he COUGHS his guts up over and over with a rotten summer cold (doctor tomorrow)
....add the sound of trees and grass dying outside, the foundation dirt shrinking away from the concrete, so the house can move around and crack the walls and even the foundation it's self if the twenty inches of rain we haven't gotten this year doesn't happen very, very soon.
Now add me sighing, praying, trying not to listen to the frigging stock market, or oil and gas prices or the cha-CHING of money leaving the bank, wallet and skinny little retirement fund. Would it be awful to wish for a tall enough building to jump from, or a large enough jug of Shine to make me senseless everyday fer a time?
Damn. Well, take care of you, we're trying to take care of us.
Hugs to everyone who is scared and worried.

I HATE DOG DAYS....
There are people who love a good hot and humid summer. I am NOT one of them. All that the summer months mean to me is ass high electricity bills, heat high enough to light my Altar Candles with no matches, hot water to wade in at the beach, and humidity so high you really need gills....BAH!
Gimme 76º with a breeze outta the north. Oh, yeahhhh....skies so clear at night that starlight can guide you through the whole Universe if ya want. Crickets and cicadas singing with cool energies and whooooopie! sounds.
Not insects being fried in the shell and desultory clicks and stops and starts. A late night walk with a fake (for looks only)shawl on your shoulders and sweet high grass brushing your ankles and smelling green and earthy. Not Dried, crackling brown and ocher grasses and weeds, dead from heat and drought.
Welp, s'posed to be 100º every day this week, AGAIN, no break in the Texas drought of the decades...and then, add to that the damn gubmint cluster fuck and it's " SAYONARA SUMMER" at my place!
Gimme late fall.
Be good to you cause you're the only one that does it right, and give somebody some goooood sugars today!
Love ya'll.

A Theist? An Atheist?
When I was a child, in Indiana, being raised by pretend christian alcoholics from Arkansas, and surrounded by what I know NOW was one of the LARGEST KKK chapters in the nation, I rarely heard the word atheist. I did hear the word Heathen, pronounced Heathern.. cause that's what my mama called us kids "You little Heatherns!"
I don't think it ever really occurred to her that she and daddy were heatherns too. Theyy were raised as Southern Baptists, sorta. Any how.
I heard the word 'Atheist' in a Evangelist's' Come To Meetin' Tent' when I was about twelve. I don't recall anythiing about the sermon that old fool preached(hollered, with spit flyin' in the kerosene light)
but I clearly recall the dreadfilled hush that oozed over all the sweaty, hot and sober crowd there that night. That scared the sheit out of me. That silence was deafining. And then he spake thusly " If any among you know of a filthy A-thee-ist raise your hand and we shall call Gawd down to punish and chastise this class One Sinner!!" "Halleluja, they screamed in unison!!! The wages of that sin SHOULD BE DEATH" The preacher-man screamed out! Over and over they screamed back at him hossannahs and yes Gawd.....Yes Looooooward!" As soon as he bent to accept a sip of lemonade provided by one of the sisters, I took a powder. Shit! Were there any A Thee Ists out there in the dark??? I ran to my house and got my oldest little brother to come back with me. It was still going on. We sat shaking but enthralled!
I looked up atheist after that and it did sound scary. NOT believe in GAWD?? Ohhhhhwee! You'd end up in Hellfire and Damnnation for eternity sure as hell! ( I cussed alot at 12 too) Any way. I grew up, was a hippy, smoked some doobie along the years, became a Pagan and then looked at the concept of Atheist again, from a totally different perspective.
" The term theism derives from the Greek theos meaning "god". The term theism was first used by Ralph Cudworth (1617–88).[5] Atheism is rejection of theism in the broadest sense of theism; i.e. the rejection of belief that there is even one deity.[6] Rejection of the narrower sense of theism can take forms such as deism, pantheism, and polytheism. The claim that the existence of any deity is unknown is agnosticism, and can be compatible with theism and with atheism.[7][8][9] The positive assertion of knowledge, either of the existence of gods or the absence of gods, can also be attributed to some theists and some atheists. Put simply theism and atheism deal with belief, and agnosticism deals with (absence of) knowledge; they are not mutually exclusive as they deal with different domains."
This from Wikipedia is pretty close to what I came to understand.... and though it took a minute to let go of GAWD all together(I CALLED myself Pagan, but I hedged my bets a bit. Gawd was still out there somewhere scaring the crap outta me.) I KNOW atheists now. Personally and up close. They are NOT boogers or devils either. Plain old hard working people who 'JUST DON'T NEED or Believe in a Diety' as a necessary accoutrement to being a human...See? Now that's not a damn bit scary, is it? :)
Take care of yourselves ya'll. Love ya lots.

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.

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!
