A Picture of the Fairy Kingdom This is a picture of the Fairy Kingdom. Faeries, the fae, elementals – so many different names for our fairy friends! "Hand in hand, with fairy grace,Will we sing, and bless this place." I want to share with you a picture of the Fairy Kingdom, that is, some of the Fairies and Elementals in this very special, mystical world - at least the ones we know about! These wonderful beings are in abundance in our everyday lives, but we usually take no notice of them, or worse yet, we ignore them! With our busy and technological lives, this aspect of living in harmony with nature and the wonderful beings that inhabit it, is rapidly fading away. Now is the time to reconnect, communicate with and appreciate our fairy friends. Types of Fairies and Elementals The four elements are fire, earth, air and water, and the members of the Fairy Kingdom belong to one of these elements. The King of the Salamanders is a magnificent being called Djinn. The Archangel associated with the Fire Element is Michael.
Kemetic Eclectic & Empathic Spirituality Three Types of Faery Lovers Faery Lovers Faeries are said to be a lusty bunch, and their habit of taking human lovers is well-documented in European folklore: Thomas the Rhymer and Tam Lin are two of the most famous stories featuring human-faery liaisons. Sadly, the majority of these unions turned out badly. The medieval Church frowned upon all things Fae, preaching that faeries had no souls and no hope of salvation, as they are not "children of Adam." A human who took a faery lover was seen as endangering his or her own soul, and many of these stories do double-duty as warnings to avoid the Fae and metaphors for the problems created by extra-marital sex. Sexual encounters with faeries seem to fall into one of three categories: Procreative: A faerie marries or abducts a human and has children with them, possibly because humans are said to be more fertile than the Fae. Passionate: A faerie and a human fall in love. One of the most famous stories in this category is the Irish legend of Connla and the Fairy Maiden.

Japanese Zen Buddhist Philosophy 1. The Meaning of the Term Zen The designation of this school of the Buddha-Way as Zen, which means sitting meditation, is derived from a transliteration of the Chinese word Chán. Because the Chinese term is in turn a transliteration of the Sanskrit term dhyāna, however, Zen owes its historical origin to early Indian Buddhism, where a deepened state of meditation, called samādhi, was singled out as one of the three components of study a Buddhist was required to master, the other two being an observation of ethical precepts (sīla) and an embodiment of nondiscriminatory wisdom (prajñā). Meditation was picked as the name for this school because the historical Buddha achieved enlightenment (nirvāna) through the practice of meditation. In the context of Zen Buddhism, the perfection of nondiscriminatory wisdom (Jpn.: hannya haramitsu; Skrt.: prajñāpāramitā) designates practical, experiential knowledge. 2. 3. 3.1 The Adjustment of the Body 3.2 The Adjustment of Breathing 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Ishtar and the Morrigan Inanna. Ishtar. Anat. Sekhmet-Bast. These goddesses of love and war were the original kick-ass heroines: the Buffys and the Anita Blakes of the ancient world. The similarities between Ishtar and Morrigan are many: Both are warriors in cultures when men dominated the battlefield, and both were lusty in nature, taking lovers as they pleased, before and sometimes after marriage. Is it a coincidence that these goddesses from such different parts of the world have so much in common? Jungians might argue that Ishtar and the Morrigan are similar because they're both expressions of an archetype that's embedded in the human subconscious. There are several different points in history where the Celts could have been exposed to Ishtar: The people who eventually became the Celts originated in the steppes of Russia, migrating westward into Europe.

Signs And Symptoms Of A Spiritual Awakening by Natalia Ria Worldwide, political, economical, environmental and social events are taking place that are changing the way we think, feel and perceive our world as well as relate to one another. Change is in the air, on a collective and an individual level, both of which mirror one another. A mass spiritual awakening is at hand, as a 26,000-thousand year planetary calendar cycle draws to an end, expanding human consciousness in unprecedented ways. On a collective level, a paradigm shift is under way as we unplug from a fear-based paradigm rooted in separation, control, disempowerment and worthlessness to one of love, integrity and connection with all of life. A spiritual awakening is accompanied by great internal change. Your Body Physical manifestation of illness, aches, pains and disease are on the rise and signal where you are resisting your true self and holding on to emotions and beliefs that do not serve you.

Wicca for the Beginner First it's important to know that there is no one and only Book of Shadows. This concept is a fictional plot device to explain why magyc is not effective without THE Book of Shadows. The idea is that if you just have the right book all your magyc will be effective. This usually sets up a dynamic between the characters where each tries to possess THE book. Actually, the name simply refers to any book or digital folder that contains a witch's personal spells, potions, references and records. The truth is that any given magycal rite or spell is effective only if it's effective for you. To that end, you will want to gather any and all information that works best for you. How can you tell if something will work for you? Of course, there is so much information out there no one can try everything. To get you started, here is a list of links to online books of shadows.
