I do believe in magic. I was born and raised in a magic time, in a magic town, among magicians. When I was twelve, the words was my magic lantern, and by its green spirit glow I saw the past, the present, and into the future. We all start out knowing magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside us. We are born able to sing to birds and read the clouds and see out destiny in grains of sand. But then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and combed out. We get put in the straight and narrow and told to be responsible. Told to act our age. Told to grow up, for Gods sake. And you know why were told that? Because the people doing the telling were afraid of our wilderness and youth, and because the magic we knew made them ashamed and sad at what they allowed to whither in themselves. Robert McCammon

Do you remember your life in fairy?
When we flew together through green leaf trees.
You held my hand so gently I thought you would never leave.
Today you remember not, lost in the human mind, not a trace of fairy kind.
I am here today as Nay to show you the way.
Back into your forgotten fairy past, this time your love will last.
Come with me to a wooded glade; cool yourself in forest shade.
Pan plays his pipes, a jolly tune, steady now, or you will swoon.
Fairy energy, can you feel, believe me, WE ARE REAL.
Not a fantasy from a book, not a hallucination. - LOOK.
We are here among the flowers, weaving tales with our fairy powers.
Hear our laughter, mischievous that we are, we come from a distant star.
Content now to play held within a gentle breeze.
Dreaming fairy dreams among the trees.
Look into my eyes, deep into a fairy gaze; look carefully through the haze.
A scene does form of such beauty, your mirrored thoughts for me to see.
Nymph, Pixie, Elf or Fae
Come join us today, we invite you all to come to see
What is like to be a fairy just like me.
JUDGMENTAL THINKING
There are endless paths that lead to Source. And it is the connection to Source that is ultimately sought after by all. Everyone wants to believe that they have found the path. And, oh, it is glorious when you find that which you believe is your path. That is alignment with Source Energy. But when you say, I have found my path, and you over there on that other path, youre not on the path, in that moment of judgment, youre not on your path either. Compliment them on their choices. Never push against their path. Never put them in the position where they must defend their path by condemning yours. Instead, appreciate their path. Appreciate it as their method of connecting with Source Energy. And we promise you, there is not one method that is better than the other.

The Ancient Wisdoms
He who knows the ways of beasts and birds.
Who can distinquish them by song and cry,
Who knows the bright quicksilver life in streams,
The courses that the stars take through the sky,
May never have laid hands to books,
Yet he is sharing wisdom with infinity...
He who works with sensitive deft hands
At any woodcraft, will absorb the rain,
The sunlight and the starlight and the dew
That entered in the making of its grain;
He should grow tall and straight and clean and good
Who daily breathes the essences of wood.
He who finds companionship in rocks,
And comfort in the touch of vine and leaf,
Who climbs a hill for joy, and shouts a song,
Who loves the feel of wind, will know no grief;
No lonliness that ever grows too great;
For he will never be desolate...
He shares, who is companioned long with these,
All ancient wisdoms and philosophies.
Old Welsh Prose
My Gods and Goddesses are the Tuatha De Dannon, I love them dearly and seek ways of gaining knowledge from them personally. So far to date the only way I have found that works best for me IS the teachings of Buddha. I am a healer and guide for most I will help you if I can and when I can, I am in the process of remembering myself. May the Shinning Ones Guide you Well.

Celtic Creation Myth

Once upon a time, there was no time and that was when there also was no gods and no man walked the surface of the land. But there was the sea, and where the sea met the land, a mare was born, white and made of sea-foam. And her name was Eiocha. On the land, near where the land met the sea, a tree grew, a strong and sturdy oak. On the oak, grew a plant whose seeds were formed of the foam tears of the sea. To sustain her, Eiocha ate the seeds, these white berries, and they were transformed within her. Eiocha grew heavy with child and gave birth to the god, Cernunnos. So great was her pain in childbirth that she ripped bark from the one tree and hurled it into the sea. The bark was transformed by the sea and became the giants of the deep.

Cernunnos was lonely and he saw the giants of the deep who were numerous, so he coupled with Eiocha and of their union came the gods, Maponos, Tauranis, and Teutates, and the goddess, Epona. Eiocha soon tired of the land, being a creature of sea-foam, and she returned the sea, where she was transformed into Tethra, goddess of the deep water, sometimes called Tethys.

The gods and goddess were lonely for they had none to com- mand nor none to worship them. The gods and goddess took wood from the one oak tree and fashioned the first man and the first woman.

Cernunnos also made other animals from the one oak tree, the deer and the hound, the boar and the raven, the hare and the snake. He was god of the animals, and he commanded the oak tree to spread and grow, to be come a forest home for his children.

Epona also made animals, but she made only the horse, mare and stallion alike, in remembrance of Eiocha who was no more.

Teutates took limbs from the one tree, and fashioned a bow, arrows, and a club.

Tauranis took limbs from the one tree, and fashioned thunderbolts made of fire and noise. He would leap to the top of the tallest trees and hurl his weapon at the ground. The ground would shake, the grass would burn, and the ani- mals would run in fear

Maponos also took limbs from the one tree, but he fashioned not a weapon but a harp. He stretched strings of the winds from its limbs and spent his days in Cernunnos' forest. The winds would join in the melodies, and the birds as well. And all Cernunnos' animals would come from near and far to hear Maponos play.

The giants of the deep saw the gods and goddess happy on the land, and the giants were jealous, for they had none to com- mand nor none to worship them. So the giants plotted against the gods; they would overwhelm them with the sea and take the land under the water. But Tethra in the deep sea heard the murmuring of the giants in the waves and she remembered her days as Eiocha and so she warned her sons and daughter. The gods were prepared the day the giants came against them.

The gods took refuge in the one oak tree. Tauranis hurled his thunderbolt and split the land, and the sea overflowed its boundaries. Maponos broke the sky and hurled it at the giants. Teutates' deadly aim with the bow and arrows from the one oak tree cut down many of the giants. The giants of the deep were not without weapons; they had the strength of the waves.

The gods overwhelmed the giants, but could not destroy them.
The giants of the deep were driven back into the sea, and Tethra bound them in the deep waters. But a few escaped Tethra and fled far from her reach. They called themselves the Fomor, and built a life on the outer edges of the world.
But the Fomor dreamed of conquest, and vowed to once again take the land from the gods. Of their later battles, our histories tell us much.

The sea returned to its bed and Maponos repaired the sky. And the gods looked for Epona as she had been absent from the victory. Epona had rescued one man and one woman from the watery and fiery destruction, and the three of them waited deep in Cernunnos' forest. From this man and this woman Epona saved would come our mighty people. The gods and the goddess left the deep of Cernunnos' forest and re- turned to their home near the one tree of oak which still stood strong and sturdy, and the sacred berries where still white as sea-foam.

Where the fiery pieces of the heavens Maponos had torn from the sky had mingled with the waters of the sea, there were born new gods. The god Belenus and his sister Danu sprang from where the heavenly fire had been but little quenched. The god Lir sprang from where the waters of the sea had al- most quenched the fire of heaven. From Lir, as the histo- ries tell, there would come the mighty Manannan, the beautiful Branwen, the wise Bran. But from Danu many chil- dren would come, the Dagda, Nuadha of the Silver Hand, the wise Dienceght, the smith Goihbhio, the fearsome Morrigan, the gentle Brighid. The Children of Danu and the Children of Lir are the two mighty races our songs tell of, ever op- posite.

I'd like to meet:



Your mind is the only thing you will ever experience in life. Therefore, the scientific quest of reality or the journey to reach self-realization begins with the investigation and insight of the mind. To know your mind's reality is to know your reality. The key is to identify your mind correctly. What is your mind? Where is your mind?

Summarised, the Buddha said:

"Do not believe a spiritual teaching just because:
1. it is repeatedly recited,
2. it is written in a scripture,
3. it was handed from guru to disciple,
4. everyone around you believes it,
5. it has supernatural qualities,
6. it fits my beliefs anyway,
7. it sounds rational to me,
8. it is taught by a respectable person,
9. it was said to be the truth by the teacher,
10. one must defend it or fight for it.
However, only when it agrees with your experience and reason, and when it is conducive to the good and gain of oneself and all others, then one should accept the teachings, and live up to them."

Dharma-Wheel (symbol of the Buddha) with two DeerOr, as the Buddha taught:

"My teaching is not a philosophy. It is the result of direct experience...
My teaching is a means of practice, not something to hold onto or worship.
My teaching is like a raft used to cross the river.
Only a fool would carry the raft around after he had already reached the other shore of liberation."

To his favourite disciple, Ananda, the Buddha once said (from: Old Path, White Clouds by Thich Nath Hanh):

"If you were to follow the Dharma purely out of love for me or because you respect me, I would not accept you as disciple. But if you follow the Dharma because you have yourself experienced its truth, because you understand and act accordingly - only under these conditions have you the right to call yourself a disciple of the Exalted One."

Magnetic Moon day 9

kin 244: Yellow Planetary Seed

Producing Awareness
I seal the Input of Flowering

I am guided by the power of Free Will

The lyrics below are to our popular song, The Lunar Chateau -- hope you enjoy it&

THE LUNAR CHATEAU (4:59)

As above, so below
A haven for a weary soul
Overlooking the vast vista
With a special grace

Be the dream, so be it
With ambience of candles lit
I doubt that they will ever see
The chateau that's so dear to me
[Chorus]

At ease, I feel the pulse of geologic time
Release, all the memories that keep you behind
Nevermind, here we are at last on our Lunar Chateau
Looking out the window at the cosmic show
As above, so below

As above, so below
Among the splendors of my home
Friends visiting soon
In scarlett robes upon my steps

Then we'll dine and talk
About those ancient astronauts
Of how they mined the Gaian shores
And left their footprints as folklore

[Chorus]

As above, so below
A haven for a weary soul
Overlooking the vast vista
With a special grace

Be the dream, so be it
With ambience of candles lit
I doubt that they will ever see
The chateau that's so dear to me

[Chorus]
