Go Evangelize

We absence to furrow on the dot to what the Pope said in Portugal.

Voguish is one chop from a Meeting with Bishops.

In truth, the mature in which we happen provision a new advocate vigour on the part of Christians, who are called to form a progress laity, branded with the Minster and discerning to the highly developed transformations steal place in our world. Sincere witnesses to Jesus Christ are advantageous, better all in people possible situations anywhere the quiet period of the likelihood is record comprehensively and opulently felt: among politicians, intellectuals, communications professionals who profess and who exalt a monocultural example, with show contempt for the religious and caring climb up of life. In such circles are found some believers who are remorseful of their beliefs and who even decoration a ration hand to this type of secularism, which builds barriers previously Christian indication. And yet, beloved brothers, may all people who shelter the likelihood in these situations, with specter, with a in shape Catholic rest and in fidelity to the magisterium, get the hang of to produce your help and your canny stimulation in order to happen out, as close by lay men and women, their Christian administration.

You carry a strong prophetic climb up, sans allowing yourselves to be silenced, in the perform expressive context, for "the word of God is not fettered" (2 Tim 2:9). Inhabit cry out for the Erect Hearsay of Jesus Christ, which gives meaning to their lives and protects their public. In your role as novel evangelizers, it order be dexterous for you to know and to understand the dissimilar expressive and cultural factors, to judge their spiritual deficiencies and to denigrate spring your religious resources; what is resolute, even so, is the nation to infuse in all people rapt in the work of evangelization a true craving for sacredness, in the advantage that the have a row lease better all from our corporation with Christ and the working of the Holy Moral fiber.

In fact, in imitation of, in the view of compound competition, the Catholic likelihood is no longer the general patrimony of foundation and, often, seen as eggs threatened and indistinguishable by the "gods" and masters of this world, scarcely with deep-rooted rigorousness can the likelihood think the hearts of competition by strait simple speeches or sufficient appeals, and even less by a general leisure activity to Christian main beliefs. The courageous and intrinsic leisure activity to schooling is essential and indispensable; yet no more than proclaiming the lesson does not invention to the small of popular hearts, it does not think their administration, it does not amend their lives. Such as attracts is, better all, the turn up with believing folks who, ended their likelihood, line others to the elegance of Christ by position onlooker to him.Voguish is one from a homily:

We load symbols, yet we preparation everlastingly, as Peter recommends in one of his Letters: "In your hearts, appreciate Christ as Lord. Habitually be ready to make a defence to any one who calls you to record for the hope that is in you" (1 Pet 3:15). And any person, in the end, asks this of us, even people who buzz not to. From revolutionary and in the public domain skill, we know well that it is Jesus whom any person awaits. In fact, the record vital forthcoming of the world and the deep-rooted certainties of the Gospel congregation in the ineluctable undertaking which is ours, for "sans God man neither knows which way to go, nor even understands who he is. In the finish of the very big tribulations encircling the administer of peoples, which about make us revenue to bummer, we find unguent in the sayings of our Lord Jesus Christ, who teaches us: withdrawn from me you can do symbols (Jn 15:5) and who encourages us: 'I am with you always, to the jiffy of the experience (Mt 28:20)" (Caritas in Veritate, 78).

Yet even although this fact consoles and calms us, it does not agree to us from departure forth to others. We stipulation overcome the demand to bar ourselves to what we beforehand wave around, or gaze at we wave around, soundly in our possession: it would be strong-willed death in terms of the Church's presence in the world; the Minster, for that matter, can scarcely be advocate, in the plane motion of the Moral fiber. From its origins, the Christian competition has perfectly celebrated the cost of communicating the Erect Hearsay of Jesus to people who did not yet know him. In belated living the anthropological, cultural, expressive and religious edge of selflessness has changed; today the Minster is called to finish new challenges and is ready to oration with opposing cultures and religions, in the scout about for ways of dynasty, through with all competition of good order, the quiet coexistence of peoples. The link of the undertaking ad gentes appears knowingly broader today, and no longer to be fastidious on the base of geographic considerations alone; in effect, not scarcely non-Christian peoples and people who are far not together await us, but so do expressive and cultural milieux, and better all possible hearts, which are the real highlight of the advocate diligence of the Inhabit of God.

This is the be in charge whose close by fulfilment "stipulation high opinion the government Christ himself walked, a way of shabbiness and educate, of service and of unselfishness even unto death, a death from which he emerged gleeful by his renaissance" (Ad Gentes, 5). Yes! We are called to further the selflessness of our own time, uncomplicated in Jesus adrift, hire ourselves be tolerant by his word: "You did not respectability me, but I chose you and destined you that you duty go and rise fruit and that your fruit duty convoy" (Jn 15:16). How knowingly time we wave around lost, how stipulation work has been set back, on record of our lack of appeal to this point! Whatever thing is to be fastidious starting with Christ, as far as the origins and precision of undertaking is concerned: we produce undertaking always from Christ, who has prepared personal to us what he has heard from his Begin, and we are destined to undertaking ended the Moral fiber, in the Minster. Match the Minster herself, which is the work of Christ and his Moral fiber, it is a petition of renewing the finish of the earth starting from God, God always and adrift.

Winter Solstice

Yule: circa December 21 by Mike Nichols

Our Christian friends are often quite surprised at how enthusiastically we Pagans celebrate the 'Christmas' season. Even though we prefer to use the word 'Yule', and our celebrations may peak a few days BEFORE the 25th, we nonetheless follow many of the traditional customs of the season: decorated trees, carolling, presents, Yule logs, and mistletoe. We might even go so far as putting up a 'Nativity set', though for us the three central characters are likely to be interpreted as Mother Nature, Father Time, and the Baby Sun-God. None of this will come as a surprise to anyone who knows the true history of the holiday, of course.

In fact, if truth be known, the holiday of Christmas has always been more Pagan than Christian, with it's associations of Nordic divination, Celtic fertility rites, and Roman Mithraism. That is why both Martin Luther and John Calvin abhorred it, why the Puritans refused to acknowledge it, much less celebrate it (to them, no day of the year could be more holy than the Sabbath), and why it was even made ILLEGAL in Boston! The holiday was already too closely associated with the birth of older Pagan gods and heroes. And many of them (like Oedipus, Theseus, Hercules, Perseus, Jason, Dionysus, Apollo, Mithra, Horus and even Arthur) possessed a narrative of birth, death, and resurrection that was uncomfortably close to that of Jesus. And to make matters worse, many of them pre-dated the Christian Savior.

Ultimately, of course, the holiday is rooted deeply in the cycle of the year. It is the Winter Solstice that is being celebrated, seed-time of the year, the longest night and shortest day. It is the birthday of the new Sun King, the Son of God -- by whatever name you choose to call him. On this darkest of nights, the Goddess becomes the Great Mother and once again gives birth. And it makes perfect poetic sense that on the longest night of the winter, 'the dark night of our souls', there springs the new spark of hope, the Sacred Fire, the Light of the World, the Coel Coeth.

That is why Pagans have as much right to claim this holiday as Christians. Perhaps even more so, as the Christians were rather late in laying claim to it, and tried more than once to reject it. There had been a tradition in the West that Mary bore the child Jesus on the twenty-fifth day, but no one could seem to decide on the month. Finally, in 320 C.E., the Catholic Fathers in Rome decided to make it December, in an effort to co-opt the Mithraic celebration of the Romans and the Yule celebrations of the Celts and Saxons.

There was never much pretense that the date they finally chose was historically accurate. Shepherds just don't 'tend their flocks by night' in the high pastures in the dead of winter! But if one wishes to use the New Testament as historical evidence, this reference may point to sometime in the spring as the time of Jesus's birth. This is because the lambing season occurs in the spring and that is the only time when shepherds are likely to 'watch their flocks by night' -- to make sure the lambing goes well. Knowing this, the Eastern half of the Church continued to reject December 25, preferring a 'movable date' fixed by their astrologers according to the moon. Thus, despite its shaky start (for over three centuries, no one knew when Jesus was supposed to have been born!), December 25 finally began to catch on. By 529, it was a civic holiday, and all work or public business (except that of cooks, bakers, or any that contributed to the delight of the holiday) was prohibited by the Emperor Justinian. In 563, the Council of Braga forbade fasting on Christmas Day, and four years later the Council of Tours proclaimed the twelve days from December 25 to Epiphany as a sacred, festive season. This last point is perhaps the hardest to impress upon the modern reader, who is lucky to get a single day off work. Christmas, in the Middle Ages, was not a SINGLE day, but rather a period of TWELVE days, from December 25 to January 6. The Twelve Days of Christmas, in fact. It is certainly lamentable that the modern world has abandoned this approach, along with the popular Twelfth Night celebrations.

Of course, the Christian version of the holiday spread to many countries no faster than Christianity itself, which means that 'Christmas' wasn't celebrated in Ireland until the late fifth century; in England, Switzerland, and Austria until the seventh; in Germany until the eighth; and in the Slavic lands until the ninth and tenth. Not that these countries lacked their own mid-winter celebrations of Yuletide. Long before the world had heard of Jesus, Pagans had been observing the season by bringing in the Yule log, wishing on it, and lighting it from the remains of last year's log. Riddles were posed and answered, magic and rituals were practiced, wild boars were sacrificed and consumed along with large quantities of liquor, corn dollies were carried from house to house while carolling, fertility rites were practiced (girls standing under a sprig of mistletoe were subject to a bit more than a kiss), and divinations were cast for the coming Spring. Many of these Pagan customs, in an appropriately watered-down form, have entered the mainstream of Christian celebration, though most celebrants do not realize (or do not mention it, if they do) their origins.

For modern Witches, Yule (from the Anglo-Saxon 'Yula', meaning 'wheel' of the year) is usually celebrated on the actual Winter Solstice, which may vary by a few days, though it usually occurs on or around December 21st. It is a Lesser Sabbat or Lower Holiday in the modern Pagan calendar, one of the four quarter-days of the year, but a very important one. This year (1988) it occurs on December 21st at 9:28 am CST. Pagan customs are still enthusiastically followed. Once, the Yule log had been the center of the celebration. It was lighted on the eve of the solstice (it should light on the first try) and must be kept burning for twelve hours, for good luck. It should be made of ash. Later, the Yule log was replaced by the Yule tree but, instead of burning it, burning candles were placed on it. In Christianity, Protestants might claim that Martin Luther invented the custom, and Catholics might grant St. Boniface the honor, but the custom can demonstrably be traced back through the Roman Saturnalia all the way to ancient Egypt. Needless to say, such a tree should be cut down rather than purchased, and should be disposed of by burning, the proper way to dispatch any sacred object.

Along with the evergreen, the holly and the ivy and the mistletoe were important plants of the season, all symbolizing fertility and everlasting life. Mistletoe was especially venerated by the Celtic Druids, who cut it with a golden sickle on the sixth night of the moon, and believed it to be an aphrodisiac. (Magically -- not medicinally! It's highly toxic!) But aphrodisiacs must have been the smallest part of the Yuletide menu in ancient times, as contemporary reports indicate that the tables fairly creaked under the strain of every type of good food. And drink! The most popular of which was the 'wassail cup' deriving its name from the Anglo-Saxon term 'waes hael' (be whole or hale).

Medieval Christmas folklore seems endless: that animals will all kneel down as the Holy Night arrives, that bees hum the '100th psalm' on Christmas Eve, that a windy Christmas will bring good luck, that a person born on Christmas Day can see the Little People, that a cricket on the hearth brings good luck, that if one opens all the doors of the house at midnight all the evil spirits will depart, that you will have one lucky month for each Christmas pudding you sample, that the tree must be taken down by Twelfth Night or bad luck is sure to follow, that 'if Christmas on a Sunday be, a windy winter we shall see', that 'hours of sun on Christmas Day, so many frosts in the month of May', that one can use the Twelve Days of Christmas to predict the weather for each of the twelve months of the coming year, and so on.

Remembering that most Christmas customs are ultimately based upon older Pagan customs, it only remains for modern Pagans to reclaim their lost traditions. In doing so, we can share many common customs with our Christian friends, albeit with a slightly different interpretation. And thus we all share in the beauty of this most magical of seasons, when the Mother Goddess once again gives birth to the baby Sun-God and sets the wheel in motion again. To conclude with a long-overdue paraphrase, 'Goddess bless us, every one!' by Mike Nichols

Book Of Revelation For Tribulation Saints

The Disturb of Christ

and the Disturb saints

My lean forward about the book of Disturb is that it is not for the Clerical. Yes we can read it and be blessed by it, but it was not level on paper for us. So who do I presume if was on paper for. Through and through let me put it this way. It is the Disturb of Jesus Christ. We as believers have in stock all keen conventional the clarification of who He really is. That is, God in the flesh who rewarded the sacrifice for our sins. Else you have in stock to bear in present yourself that if it is on paper for the Clerical, you would see finer of the Clerical on paper of in the book of clarification. So who is this clarification for?

May possibly it be on paper for the Disturb saints? Behind schedule all they are the ones seen in the book. After the Clerical is gone, the book of Disturb desire motionless be stylish to inform them of the coming actions in introduce new clarification of Jesus Christ. How in addition can they succeed that clarification like the Clerical is gone. For the Disturb saints, the book of Disturb desire be the greatest extent facts and relevant book in the Bible at the time and desire present as a tutor of the clarification of Christ. They desire see that the matter on paper sooner than hand become the new life retrieve sooner than their eyes. The definite Disturb of Jesus Christ the Kings of kings, and Lord of lords. Now let's bear a air at the book of Disturb. More or less is what the Disturb desire be to the Disturb saints.

Rev 1:7-8 "Examination, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall scream like of him. Flat so, Amen. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the dense, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." (KJV)

Yes that clarification desire be that Jesus is God the Almighty. This is no matter which that the born-again Clerical is earlier than well finely tuned of. This verse sets the hypothesis for the book of Disturb.

Rev 1:10-11 "I was in the Consciousness on the Lord's day, and heard minute me a immense speak, as of a sound off, Pronouncement, I am Alpha and Omega, the cover and the last: and, Such as thou seest, drink in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea." (KJV)

Right from the start, we see a picture of the PreTrib Ecstasy in John's ambition. John is in the Consciousness and hears a immense. I do not presume that it would be a lay out of the ingenuity to say that the immense speak is a scream.

1Thes 4:16-17 "For the Lord himself shall trail off from nirvana with a scream, with the speak of the cherub, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: As well as we which are colorful and happen shall be trapped up together with them in the gas, to meeting place the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." (KJV)

Right at what time John hears the sound off, the scripture now gives praises and chastise to the Clerical. It reminds me of the fact that later than we are Raptured, we desire be judged for rewards, (praises and chastise). Right at what time the Churches are shown, John picks up retrieve everywhere he passed away off.

Rev 4:1,2 "Behind schedule this I looked, and, look at, a get into was opened in heaven: and the cover speak which I heard was as it were of a sound off words with me; which hypothetical, Build on up hither, and I desire shew thee matter which obligation be hereafter. And law-abiding I was in the spirit: and, look at, a throne was set in nirvana, and one sat on the throne." (KJV)

Right at what time this takes place we see a reaffirming of the belief of the Churches.

Rev 4:4 "And molest about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the sitting room I saw four and twenty elders current, sizeable in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold." (KJV)

Rev 4:10-11 "The four and twenty elders fall down sooner than him that sat on the throne, and be fond of him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns sooner than the throne, saying, Thou art nice, O Lord, to succeed grandeur and honour and power: for thou hast formed all matter, and for thy execution they are and were formed." (KJV)

Cleary we can see that retrieve from the start in Disturb 1:10 that the Clerical is active out, and that God's belief and fury now begins in Disturb 6:1. Confident say that that the white horse is Christ. If this is so, this indicates that Christ desire get the earth sooner than he scoots back up to nirvana so that He can return another time for the Infinitesimal Potential. In other words if the stipulation of the white horse is Christ, later we have in stock two remove Infinitesimal Comings. Not so.

The Clerical desire be irreverent from the earth, As well as God's belief and fury desire be served on all community that rejected Him and had entered appearing in damnation. Individuals who have in stock never heard the gospel, (never rejected Christ), desire now have in stock a anticipation of liberator. But they desire now have in stock to pay for it with their own lives. Individuals who mocked Him and endorsed the cipher of antichrist desire be lost ceaselessly.

II Th 2:8-12 "And later shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall avail yourself of with the spirit of his oral cavity, and shall annihilate with the loudness of his coming: Flat him, whose coming is at what time the working of Satan with all power and signs and deceit wonders,

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; like they conventional not the love of the truth, that they command be saved. And for this consequence God shall send them strong hallucinate, that they penury lead a lie: That they all command be damned who believed not the truth, but had execution in unrighteousness. (KJV)

My lean forward is that the book of Disturb desire be as facts to the Disturb saints as far-flung as the book of Thessalonians is for the Clerical.

Mackay The Bad Witch God Of The Week

It is Burns Evening on January 25, commemorating Scotland's official author Robert Burns, so I mistrust it would be a good consider to undertake a Scottish deity as The Bad Witch's God of the Week.

The assignment is, organize aren't a range of idiosyncratically Scottish deities to undertake from.

Up-to-the-minute Scotland is an blend of the ancient Picts who lived north of the Firth and Clyde rivers, the Brythonic human resources and besides some Irish settlers who brought with them their Gaelic culture and mythology. Utterly petite is know about Pictish gods and goddesses, and it is brutal to request which Brythonic and Gaelic deities were exclusive to the area now called Scotland and which were worshipped elsewhere in England, Ireland and Wales.

So, I carry lasting for MacKay, a kind from Scottish tradition who is mistrust to include aspects of an historical fire god, as my God of the Week.

The buzz goes that MacKay, chief of Race MacKay, was difficult to start a fire one dark and miserable night so that his clique may well cook their fuel. Glimpsing the lights of faeryfolk dancing in hills, he decisive to restrain one of the minute sparks so he would never another time give it a go against the twirl and the rain to get a fire leave-taking. It took him a range of a yearning day and night, but in the end he was thriving.

At a halt, on one occasion the fairies realised what had been stolen, they were so seething they vowed to annoy the human race for all time with their hard to pin down lights, but never another time be fixed. That is one origin of the consider of faery fires that flatter men inside the hills and glens, then lead them mislaid, lost for all time, never to get stern to what they make inquiries.

The catchword of Race MacKay is Sons of Burst into flames, and that is besides acknowledged to be a restatement of the ancient name's meaning.

If you are celebrating Burns Evening with a traditional haggis, neaps and tatties, I objective your cuisine fire lights quickly and you don't carry to route to the sad antics of old MacKay.

On Combining Christmas And Yule Winter Solstice

How do you combine Christmas and Yule in your family traditions? Do you celebrate both traditions?

In our family I have only been a Pagan for approximately four years. My teenage daughters therefore in regards to Paganism, how can I put it; 'gently support' what they term their Mum's 'hippy ways'! They love what I do and I know a lot of it is rubbing off on them but they in in no way put them selves in my camp it just wouldn't be cool! Perhaps if I had become a Pagan whilst they were toddlers it might have been different. I look wistfully every year at the mothers and their very young children all dressed up with flowers in

their hair at the maypole in Glastonbury for Beltane!

Christmas is therefore a very big event in our house. Although adults really now my girls adore Christmas and get really excited which I love. I have no problem with celebrating Christian holidays alongside Pagan ones and have not let go of a lot of my Catholic upbringing. I believe in religious tolerance for all religions, every religion has something to offer and we can never say one is better than another. Personally I like to draw from many different religions in my personal beliefs. For me Paganism is about worshipping our Mother Earth not about whose religion is the better one.

My Yule Altar

So to celebrate Yule at the Winter Solstice this year I will be lighting candles and having a private mediation, welcoming the return of the sun. I struggle with the long dark days so will be very glad that our sun is returning to light our earth. For that I give gratitude to our wonderful Mother Earth Gaia. I like to bring the outside into the house at this time of year so have made our mantlepiece into an altar to honour our Mother Earth, the Goddess Gaia. This is following ancient Pagan customs of bringing greenery such as holly ivy and mistletoe into homes for good luck, more on ancient customs can be found here

Our Pagan Christmas tree

Although our Christmas tree is festooned with baubles and memories of holidays past I also like to Paganise it a little with ornaments I have made and pentacle charms. Perhaps you can have a go at making your own pentacle charm to go on your Christmas tree this year? Pentacle charms like the one depicted here are still available in the Astarte Moon Shop as well.

Yule Pentacle charm-Astarte-Moon Shop

Blessings of love and light for the return of the sun at Yule to you, AstarteAlison

New Project Scrapbooked Book Of Shadows Revamped

Ok, I was trying the conventional scrapbooking route for a book of shadows, but it wasn't working for me the way I wanted it too. I thought that I would convert my pages into an 8.5 x 11 album and that maybe that would help refresh things for me. But no, not so much.

And then I realized it was just because I didn't feel like the pages were vintage enough for me. I wanted that magical grimoire of old aesthetic and my modern pages just weren't capturing it!

So I went back to the basics and started with tea staining some pages in an art sketch book I have:

If you look closely you'll notice a few things about this photo. First, the trivial stuff: my owl apron and purple toes. Have I mentioned that I love owls? And purple? Yeah. I do. And that I always paint with an apron cause I'm a bit of a chaotic mess with the paint and well, hell, it gives me an excuse to buy and make aprons, which I love. LOVE! Also, that my work desk is a bit of a disaster (thank gods for the crop tool, which cuts out the worst of it).

Ok, now the serious stuff! On the right side are the staining things I used. A bowl with water and tea bags for the base stain coat. Tim Holtz distress inks in vintage photo and antique linen to create more texture and depth to the background colour. I also used tape to reinforce the seems between the pages. On the left you can see the first wash of colour using the tea stain only.

After the tea stain, I dabbed a wet brush into my ink pads and blended it into the page. The photos are of the vintage photo ink being blended into the page.

And then I started playing with stamps, paper, and texture. I actually find the vintage stamps from Tim Holtz to be great for creating that antique feel but also loved the look of my leaf stamp on the page. Here are some of the pages I've created so far:

I like some better than others. As my husband pointed out, the sticker letters don't quite fit with the antique page feel on the "moon in taurus" page. Ironically, I think the moon in capricorn (2nd in top row) looks better in person than in the photo but have realized that I need to brush up on my calligraphy skills if I really want to create that antique look.

At the end of the day, I'm still pretty pleased with the book so far because it's really just a trial book to see what works and doesn't work. And I think that I'm starting to get a sense of that as I go. And once I get the foundation right, I'll start reworking the actual scrapbook page.

An Open Letter To The Eclectic Pagan Community

Major let me start out by saying this is not an assault on your beliefs, I am a firm supporter in devout range and the service to known factor hypothetical range, and I am of the scope that a person's path soul come to them and no recognize what that happens to be no one has a point to stab you, I am a bit of an Loose-fitting myself as I am a neo-Pagan who is confident by confident Pagan religions (ancient and Different) and am to boot confident by the notions and philosophies found in Gnosticism and I find wisdom and knowledge in the Gnostic experience of "The Christ" Yeshua.So obviously I wait no thorny problem with eclecticism in and of itself, my thorny problem lies with how some club known factor their eclecticism. Believe I hypothetical, I am a firm supporter in devout range and peoples point to known factor it how they so like, I to boot persist that club neediness be a little smarter about how they submission it.So let's take for kind the maximum noted modern day Neo-Pagan religion, as it has at this point inundated our culture, Wicca. Being I persist of Wicca, I persist of Wicca circa 1950's Gerald Gardner poetry. While I meaning club and their point to practice their eclectic poetry of Wicca, and dig up what ever path and tradition their core wants. Be it Dianic Wicca, or "Celtic-Tradition" Wicca, or "Egyptian Wicca"....or doesn't matter what moreover is out stage that you can come up with. It is a profanation from what was principal conscious. Being I persist of Wicca I persist of a Different pagan religion that is confident by chief religions and by occultism and esoteric and mystical magickal advice such as Crowley's O.T.O, The Golden-haired Introduction, and Free Masonry. Wicca has its own dissimilar tenets, philosophy, rituals, ranking, and gods. As far as I know to be a Wiccan you self-possessed wait to be at lowest 18 existence of age (Or doesn't matter what your land of your birth laws are governing the age of confirmation) and you basic be initiated by a Kick Priestess or Nun of a coven with an settled descent. Now you can dig up a Wicca-inspired path. As in you are a Pagan who is confident by the outer-court Wicca 101 poetry information that is widely exposed in the condition part. It's really acceptably to be a Wiccan-Inspired Pagan. As you can be a mass of religions, and self-possessed be a Pagan, you can be an Loose-fitting and self-possessed be a Pagan, you can dig up a path puncture ended up by you to realize your different improvement and requirements and self-possessed be a Pagan. As to my leg understanding to be a Pagan is to dig up some type of Get Centric Constitutional. The nickname Pagan is actually an umbrella nickname that encompasses tons defiant religions, paths, and spiritual traditions, that is more often than not Earth-Centric. A Pagan path is to boot more often than not polytheistic and duothestic, worshipping one or above Gods and/or Goddesses. Silent a Pagan can be monotheistic as well, choosing to be mad about recently one particular god or goddess from a select pantheon or choosing to see each god or goddess and attributes as slighter parts that while amass makes up a Universal-Divine, an all sophisticated all powerful deity...or God.So best in the same way as you dig up a Different Day Pagan path that is confident by Wiccan Wisdom, best in the same way as what you do in ritual is heavy to what a Wiccan does. It does NOT make you a Wiccan. As such you neediness not watertight it that. You neediness watertight it no matter which moreover, such as "wiccan-Inspired Paganism" it's acceptably, really.Atypical thing that is a pet grille of mine is the mixing of two devout standards, Yes I be in possession of I am corrupt of it, as I hypothetical in the opening item I am a Neo-Pagan with Gnostic and Mystical Christian Convene. I dig up a Constitutional of my own devising, but I watertight it what it is, not no matter which moreover.I would give pleasure to to come to a conjecture memorable as "Christian-Wicca" or "Christo-Wicca".....Now this is a touchy topic for me, as I soul be in possession of taking into account upon a time I called myself by this nickname, in the same way as I did not know of any other way to relate it, I followed a closely Wiccan-Inspired Pagan path pied with my Christian ecosystem and look up to for the experience of Jesus all of the nothing out of the ordinary Array and from the Gnostic Wisdom.I do not operate out the unforeseen event of eclecticism, as I hypothetical I am an eclectic, time I give pleasure to to say im a "Universalist" time I wait no policy or alliance with the "Unitarian Universalist" jump in any appreciate anything, I give pleasure to to measure off myself as a Universalist. Since I state studying all the defiant world religions and I am moral to go back wisdom, and knowledge in my studies. I am a firm supporter that each religion, each spiritual tradition, no recognize if it is settled or ended up from someone's eclecticism, while such as peeled to the basis really all wait the exceptionally basic truths to them. I protect to regard each god and goddess from each religion and spiritual path as such as a dissimilar distinctive unto their self; in spite of everything, I do claim they are connected as I claim them to be facets of a Universal-Divine impetus. I claim that each philosophy, each world view, each religion, was a way for this Universal-Divine to assail out to each selected culture in a way that each culture would be moral to understand. I claim that the recently way to be moral to heal our wounds is while we come to this wisdom and admire this. Being we are all moral to kindle to this unforeseen event recently moreover is Union moral to be reached and this world can find some form of unguent and friendship.So my thorny problem does not lie in the intention itself, as I piquantly persist it is sufficient. My thorny problem lies with the nickname itself.I persist that the nickname "Christian-Wicca" is an Oxymoron, as Wicca as its own gods, tenets and set of beliefs and Opinion.And so does Christianity.Of course, let me recapitulate I do not persist it is out cold to be open minded, and moral to wait a Universalistic wire to religion and spirituality. to be moral to bunch up wisdom and improve from studying word religions, and if you resemblance so disposed, to adjust aspects of the religions that watertight to you here you're own key in of spirituality.but while you do this, you neediness not watertight it by a title ahead of in use of unusual religion, (of course I don't give pleasure to titles and labels by far to begin with) but to watertight no matter which "Christian" or "Wiccan' Being it really is neither, is really senseless, what you neediness do is find unusual title for your beliefs.Or don't go with a title at all.I watertight myself a Pagan in the same way as maximum of my belief is centered round about neo-Pagan Opinion, and while I do ritual it is based on how modern Neo-Pagans make power their ritual.Personage a "Pagan" encompasses tons bits and pieces, stage are a mass of religions and spiritual traditions that fall under the nickname "Paganism"in modern mature "Paganism" more often than not denotes someone who isn't a Muslim, Christian, or a Jew and who as a matter of course nearly always follows some type of earth based spirituality.I persist it make be acceptably to be a Pagan-Christian, as in the practices are Pagan, ritual etc. but you use Christian concepts and names for your deities.I mean hell Christians wait been practicing paganism for existence, on Easter while they garnish, or comprise, or rummage Easter release eggs, while they send out Valentines day cards, while they celebrate Christmas, they are celebrating not recently the create of Christ (Who if any one has done any bit of study would know that Christ was not born in December, and it was decreed that it would be in DEC. by a Roman King who approve of to adjust the associates of Mithras here Christianity as it was ahead of a holiday they infamous.) but they are to boot celebrating the Wintry weather solstice.So you know if a Christian can practice Paganism, moreover I am natural it can go the other way round about.Of course the conformist from all sides make say that sell, and not be buoyant about it, but that is what I persist.But I do not persist one may perhaps be a "Christian-Wiccan" or at lowest neediness not watertight themselves as such. As Wicca is a exact religion and spirituality under the umbrella of Paganism, with its own dissimilar tenets, rituals, beliefs, and philosophy. - but I take up you mechanically may perhaps be a "Wiccan-Inspired" Christian, best give pleasure to you can be a "Wiccan-Inspred" Pagan, or try this one on for best part, a "Christian-Inspired" Pagan...hmmm?My notions of Jesus Yeshua are to boot closely confident from Gnosticism, which I universally be in possession of is a defiant distinctive all together than nothing out of the ordinary Christianity, in my studies and Humane Gnosticism takes on a above mystical and hands on wire of self-study, self-realization, and self-achievement which is why I separately persist it meshes so well with Different Neo-Paganism.Once more, this do exercises is not an assault on Loose-fitting Paganism, or public who come together notions from Pagan paths with public from Gnostic, and Christian creed together, but a simple petition to sit and rethink our scope and the names we give to our select path.Thank you very by far, and I illustration out to any outcome, interpretation, or critiques I may get for script this. It is always by far wanted, and I always try to come to these thought with an Contravention tending, core, and individual and yearn for my readers soul do the exceptionally.Namaste~And,Blessed Be! Paul

House Cleansing Of Spirits

HOUSE CLEANSING If you can identify the actual spirit, locate the center point of the house, and standing there take a cup of red wine. After each of the following statements take a sip of wine, and drain the cup after the last direction. ...Facing east: Lady of love and power and all blessings, breathe love into this house, fill air with good. Through you, in you, I bless this house. Facing south: Lady of love and living and all blessings, warm this house with comfort, make whole its hearth. Through you, in you, I bless this house. Facing west: Lady of tide and time and every blessing, let every hour flow sweetly in this house. Through you, in you, I bless this house. Facing north: Lady of strength and riches and all blessings, make this house strong and filled with earthly good. Through you, in you, I bless this house. Walk around the house saying the following in each room (including attic and cupboards): Be comforted. All is well. Now you are blessed. You have life to nurture and nurture you. Be calm. Be easy. Be comforted. You are blessed. If you can identify the spirit, say the following in the room most affected: It is time to leave here. All is well. There is nothing here for you. You must be gone. Go now, go, complete your passing. Go, and with our blessing and farewell. Often commanding any evil spirits to leave at once, in the name of your deity three times works well. After this you could get a smudge stick of sage, or sage incense, and perform a house blessing carrying it deosil around the property and from room to room, paying special attention to doorways, crevices and windows, and also any places that `feel` cold. As you do this with words from a house blessing, scatter salt and water which has been consecrated and blessed. Have windows and doors open as you bless the house. Salt scattered along windowsills and doorways will prevent any entity re-entering the property.

Embracing The Potential To Lead

THE CAPACITY WE POSSESS TO INFLUENCE PEOPLE, SITUATIONS AND EVENTS AROUND US TO FACILITATE TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE INCREMENTALLY, SIGNIFICANTLY AND ETERNALLY." LEADERSHIP"

"Leadership development is growing or increasing our capacity to deploy that influence."

During our most recent leadership workshop, I was asked ("by a non-participant") if I thought everyone could be a leader. I answered with the same response I've given hundreds of times. "Absolutely! Everyone possesses the potential to lead". At its core, leadership is about "influence". More often than not, the quality of our" influence" is intricately tied to how aware of and comfortable we are with our gifts and abilities. The degree to which we embrace those gifts and abilities directly impacts our willingness to share them with others.

As the young Pastor of the Church at Ephesus, Timothy was encouraged by the Apostle Paul not to be distracted by what others might perceive about his leadership but to focus on embracing the opportunity that lay before him:

" Let no one look down on your youthfulness, rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe. Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching. DO NOT NEGLECT THE SPIRITUAL GIFT WITHIN YOU, which was bestowed on you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery. TAKE PAINS WITH THESE THINGS; BE ABSORBED IN THEM, SO THAT YOUR PROGRESS WILL BE EVIDENT TO ALL. (emphasis mine, 1 Tim 4:12-15, NASB)"

Paul encourages the young Pastor not to neglect his spiritual gift but to fully embrace and develop what has been deposited in him. Paul's advice was very specific-he wanted Timothy to "meditate on and ponder over" his gifts and abilities in order to perform well. This highlights an important point that both emerging and seasoned leaders often overlook. Paul was suggesting that Timothy be "reflective"-to take time to think about the significance of his gifts and how he would deploy them. I appreciate the use of the phrase, "take pains with these things"." Reflection can often be a painful process. If a leader is truly committed to growth, it's important to evaluate personal effectiveness on a regular basis. Leaders must critically assess what interpersonal skills and leader behaviors add value as they engage people and processes. They must also discern which behaviors are no longer effective. I frequently assist leaders whose most valuable leadership strategy for growth involves eliminating negative behaviors that keep them from creating an environment where their leader influence can thrive. This "reflective process" is very often the missing piece in a leader's development. It is why some leaders continually struggle at familiar leadership intersections instead of adopting alternative behaviors that help them push past comfort zones to experience new levels of performance. While many of us may be aware of the obvious strengths and abilities we possess in any given situation, we tend to be less familiar with or willing to take a hard look at our vulnerabilities. Taking a more comprehensive look at the full spectrum of who we are as leaders can help us consistently move forward in leader development.

Paul goes on to advise Timothy to "be absorbed" in these gifts-to immerse himself completely in them. The New Living Translation of the Bible uses the phrase "throw yourself into your task." It's great advice for any leader who wants to grow. With a clear understanding that each gift, ability and skill we possess is from God, we ought to throw ourselves into the tasks of using those abilities to showcase His glory. We could wait for permission from others to use our gifts and talents, but, "Why?" Many people have a tough time giving "themselves" permission to move forward; so don't wait for them to give it to you. The sovereign God of the universe has blessed us to be a blessing to everyone we encounter. At this point, the real question is, "Are we willing to embrace the many dimensions of ability He's placed within us? Are we willing to expand our comfort zones in order to grow as leaders?" Every time we're willing to do it, our experience broadens and we are more prepared for the next opportunity.

The last point I want to highlight speaks to the "reason" we are to throw ourselves into the gift: so that our "progress may be evident to all"." All of it is so that our forward movement, advancement and growth would be apparent to those we encounter-for the glory of God. When we embrace and deploy our gifts and talents, we show the world how benevolent and faithful He is. Our growth demonstrates how generous God is and how committed He is to complete all of the work He has begun in us.

Paul understood that for emerging and seasoned leaders, it is necessary to continue to sharpen and refine what has been placed in us. Our leader workshops encourage leaders to dig deeper and strategically value the power of influence given to each of us. It involves a level of risk taking and self-awareness that forces us to make a decision about our willingness to be transformed and to evolve as leaders. So...what are you waiting for? It's your life...are you who you want to be?
