...She Changes Everything....

She changes everything She touches
And everything She touches, changes"¦
Her name cannot be spoken,
Her face was not forgotten:
Her power is to open,
Her promise can never be broken.
All seeds She deeply buries,
She weaves the thread of seasons;
Her secret, darkness carries,
She love beyond all reason.
All sleeping seeds She wakens,
The rainbow is her token;
Now winter's power is taken,
In love all chains are broken.

She changes everything She touches
And everything She touches, changes"¦
Everything lost is found again
In a new form, in a new way;
Everything hurt is healed again,
In a new time, in a new day.
She changes everything She touches
And everything She touches, changes"¦
Bright as a flower and strong as a tree,
With our love and with our rage,
Breaking our chains so we can be free,
With our love and with our rage.
We are changers
Everything we touch can change
Change is, touch is,
Touch is, change is.
Change us. Touch us
Touch us. Change us

The Moon & Ostara/Easter
Information from the U.S. Naval Observatory on how the moon determines the date on which Ostara/Easter occurs.
"The commonly stated rule, that Ostara/Easter Day is the first Sunday after the full moon that occurs next after the vernal equinox, is somewhat misleading because it is not a precise statement of the actual ecclesiastical rules." The actual conditions to determine the date for Ostara/Easter are:
(1) Ostara/Easter must be on a Sunday.
(2) This Sunday must follow the 14th day of the paschal moon.
(3) The paschal moon is that of which the 14th day (full moon) falls on or next follows the day of the vernal equinox.
(4) The equinox is fixed in the calendar as March 21. Ostara/Easter can never occur before March 22 or later than April 25.

Full Moon names date back to Native Americans, of what is now the northern and eastern United States. Those tribes of a few hundred years ago kept track of the seasons by giving distinctive names to each recurring full Moon. Their names were applied to the entire month in which each occurred.

There were some variations in the Moon names, but in general the same ones were current throughout the Algonquin tribes from New England on west to Lake Superior. European settlers followed their own customs and created some of their own names. Since the lunar ("synodic") month is roughly 29.5 days in length on average, the dates of the full Moon shift from year to year.

Here is a listing of all the full Moon names, as well as the dates and times for 2007. Unless otherwise noted, all times are for the Eastern Time Zone.

Jan. 3, 8:57 a.m. EST - The Full Wolf Moon.
Amid the zero cold and deep snows of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside Indian villages. It was also known as the Old Moon or the "Moon After Yule." In some tribes this was the Full Snow Moon; most applied that name to the next Moon.

Feb. 2, 12:45 a.m. EST - The Full Snow Moon.
Usually the heaviest snows fall in this month. Hunting becomes very difficult, and hence to some tribes this was the Full Hunger Moon.

March 3, 6:17 p.m. EST - The Full Worm Moon.
In this month the ground softens and the earthworm casts reappear, inviting the return of the robins. The more northern tribes knew this as the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signals the end of winter, or the Full Crust Moon because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night. The Full Sap Moon, marking the time of tapping maple trees, is another variation. A total lunar eclipse will take place on this night; the Moon will appear to rise will totally immersed (or nearly so) in the Earth's shadow over the eastern United States. The rising Moon will be emerging from the shadow over the central United States, while over the Western U.S. the eclipse will be all but over by the time the Moon rises.

April 2, 1:15 p.m. EDT - The Full Pink Moon.
The grass pink or wild ground phlox is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other names were the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and -- among coastal tribes -- the Full Fish Moon, when the shad came upstream to spawn. This is also the Paschal Full Moon; the first full Moon of the spring season. The first Sunday following the Paschal Moon is Easter Sunday, which indeed will be observed six days later on Sunday, April 8.

May 2, 6:09 a.m. EDT - The Full Flower Moon.
Flowers are abundant everywhere. It was also known as the Full Corn Planting Moon or the Milk Moon.

May 31, 9:04 p.m. EDT - The Blue Moon.
The second full Moon occurring within a calendar month is usually bestowed this title.

Although the name suggests that to have two Full Moons in a single month is a rather rare occurrence (happening "just once in a . . . "), it actually occurs once about every three years on average.

June 30, 9:49 a.m. EDT - The Full Strawberry Moon.
Known to every Algonquin tribe. Europeans called it the Rose Moon.

July 29, 8:48 p.m. EDT - The Full Buck Moon,
when the new antlers of buck deer push out from their foreheads in coatings of velvety fur. It was also often called the Full Thunder Moon, thunderstorms being now most frequent. Sometimes also called the Full Hay Moon.

Aug. 28, 6:35 a.m. EDT - The Full Sturgeon Moon,
when this large fish of the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water like Lake Champlain is most readily caught. A few tribes knew it as the Full Red Moon because the moon rises looking reddish through sultry haze, or the Green Corn Moon or Grain Moon. A total lunar eclipse will coincide with moonset for the eastern United States. The Central and Mountain Time Zones will see the Moon's emergence coincide with moonset, while the western United States will see the entire eclipse.

Sept. 26, 3:45 p.m. EDT - The Full Harvest Moon.
Always the full Moon occurring nearest to the Autumnal Equinox. Corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice-- the chief Indian staples--are now ready for gathering.

Oct. 26, 12:52 a.m. EDT - The Full Hunter's Moon.
With the leaves falling and the deer fattened, it is time to hunt. Since the fields have been reaped, hunters can ride over the stubble, and can more easily see the fox, also other animals that have come out to glean and can be caught for a thanksgiving banquet after the harvest. The Moon will also be at perigee later this day, at 7:00 a.m., at a distance of 221,676 miles from Earth. Very high tides can be expected from the coincidence of perigee with full Moon.

Nov. 24, 9:30 a.m. EST - The Full Beaver Moon.
Time to set beaver traps before the swamps freeze to ensure a supply of warm winter furs. Another interpretation suggests that the name Beaver Full Moon comes from the fact that the beavers are now active in their preparation for winter. Also called the Frosty Moon.

Dec. 23, 2:51 a.m. EST - The Full Cold Moon;
among some tribes, the Full Long Nights Moon. In this month the winter cold fastens its grip, and the nights are at their longest and darkest. Also sometimes called the "Moon before Yule" (Yule is Christmas, and this time the Moon is only just before it). The term Long Night Moon is a doubly appropriate name because the midwinter night is indeed long and the Moon is above the horizon a long time. The midwinter full Moon takes a high trajectory across the sky because it is opposite to the low Sun..

THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES TO ANIMAL RESEARCH!!!Did you know that there are hundreds of agencies around the world spend your tax money shoving dogs into metal chambers and pumping in pesticides while the animals try in vain to escape the deadly poisons?
Or that researchers still swab burning chemicals into rabbits eyes and onto their shaved skin? Or that some government tests kill 3,000 animals ever year???????????
Animals are routinely cut open, poisoned, and forced to live in barren steel cages for years, although studies show that because of vast physiological variations between species, human reactions to illnesses and drugs are completely different from those of other animals.
Today's non-animal research methods are humane, more accurate, less expensive, and less time-consuming than animal experiments, yet change comes slowly and many researchers are unwilling to switch to superior technological advances. Animal experimentation not only is preventing us from learning more relevant information, it continues to harm and kill animals and people every year.
Hundreds of thousands of these animals are poisoned, blinded, and killed every year in outdated product tests for shampoos, household cleaners, cosmetics, hairspray, and other personal care and household items.
Although more than 500 companies have banned all animal tests forever, some corporations still force substances into animals stomachs and drip chemicals into rabbits eyes. These tests are not required by law, and they often produce inaccurate or misleading results even if a product has blinded an animal, it can still be marketed to you.
Animals deserve rights, regardless of how they taste or how convenient it is to experiment on them. Like humans, animals are capable of suffering and have an interest in leading their own lives. These animals do not have a voice to speak out and stop this.

....)O(.... Listen to the words from the Great Mother, who was of old called amongst men, Isis, Artemis, Astarte, Dione, Melusine, Aphrodite, Diana, Arionrhod, and by many other names.Whenever you have need of anything, once in the month and better it be when the Moon is full or new, then shall ye assemble in some secret place and adore the spirit of Me, Queen of all Witcheries.There shall ye assemble, who have not yet won my deepest secrets and are fain to learn all sorceries. To these shall I teach that which is yet unknown.Ye shall be free from all slavery, and as a sing that you be free, ye shall be naked in your rites. You shall sing, feast, make music and love, all in my presence, for Mine is the ecstasy of the spirit, and mine is also joy upon earth.My law is love unto all beings. Mine is the Secret that opens upon the door of youth, and mine is the cup of the wine of life, the cauldron of Cerridwen, which is the Holy Grail of Immortality.I am the Gracious Goddess who gives the gift of youth unto the heart of mankind.I give knowledge of the Spirit Eternal, and beyond death, I give peace and freedom and reunion with those who have gone before.Nor do I demand aught of sacrifice, for behold, I am the Mother of all things and my love is poured out upon the Earth.Hear ye the words of the Star Goddess, She, in the dust of whose feet are the host of heaven, whose body encircles the universe.I am the beauty of the Green Earth, and the White Moon among the stars and the mystery of the Waters.I call unto thy soul: Arise and come unto me: for I am the Soul of Nature who gives life to the universe: from me all things proceed and unto me all things return.Beloved of all the Gods and men, let my worship be in the heart.Rejoice, for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals. Therefore, let there be beauty and strength power and compassion honor and humility mirth and reverence within you.And you who think to seek me, know that your seeking and yearning will avail you not, unless you know the Mystery, that if that which you seek you find not within yourself, you will never find it without.For behold, I have been with you from the beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.I seek the Crown of Wisdom and Understanding That Might and Mercy In balance bring Beauty. Victory and glory Find their foundation In the Kingdom. )O(
What Planet Are You From?
this quiz was made by The Autist Formerly Known As Tim" La Vecchia Religione" The earliest know use of the term,"The Old Religion/ La Vecchia Religione", appeared in Roman Senate records in the frist-century A.D. Here it was used by the emperor Claudius I, and the orator Seneca when speaking of Etruscan religion. It was also used by these same individuals when speaking of the occult arts practiced by the Etrusans-inparticular, the art of divination and omens . The Italian Witches of Tuscany refer to their beliefs as La Vecchia Religione.In Italy, witches do not use the word Sabbat for their seasonal rites. The Italian word is Trequenda (tray-gwen-da). The old Italian word for Witchcraft is Stregheria (stray-gah-ree-ah). In modern Italian, the word Stregoneria (from the root word strego," to enchant") is use for witchcraft, but this word actually means sorcery and is not appropriate to apply it to the religion of Witches. The Italian word for coven is Boschetto (boss-ket-oh), which means "a grove". Traditionally, Witches met within the forest to practice the Old Ways and from this practice originated the term "a grove of witches". The old Italian word, Strega (stray-gah) is a female witch.The old Italian word, Stregone (stray-go-nay) is a male witch. T he persecution of witches in Italy did not become violent until the late fourteenth-century, and even then the Church struck out mainly against organized groups. The solitary village Witch was generally tolerated, being also the village healer and counselor; thus, Italian Witchcraft remained relatively intact throughout the Middle Ages. in northern Europe, the violent persecution of Witches began almost 100 years earlier, and it included solitaries as well as coven.
