Imbolc...
spring is finally coming...
the days will be getting longer...
and many things will begin anew...
a time for omens of things to come...
So Mote it Be...
This whole week I had been looking forward to today, my intention for today was to go into this snow day spending all day getting caught up on my Wiccan studies. However as the snow storm stacked another foot of snow on top of the 3 I already had I realized that nothing was going to go as planned. Nothing new for me :))) I woke up to a stumbling block this morning that shook me a bit, but at the same time clarified things for me. Ok I know I'm being vague lol, but I can't put my entire personal life out there. ;) However I will try to explain the best I can. :) What I have noticed is that the more I get into Wicca the more signs and things that have meaning to me seem to just jump out at me from everywhere. It is something that I am truly loving. I appreciate the added guidance.
So I intended to attend the evening ritual tonight at Sacred Mists but after a morning shakeup, a stressful morning packed with work that took wayyy longer then it should I decided to stop the world at 3:00 and attend the afternoon ritual rather then waiting for the evening one. I just needed something calming to set my mood back into the positive. It definitely was a wise move for me. I settled into my chair and tried to relax and ignore the chaos going on about me in the house.
Our rituals at the Mists are always begun with a meditation, and funny enough these meditations always seem to have a meaning for me when I attend a ritual. Not sure if that is the best way to word it but more often then not after a ritual meditation I am left going wow, and today was no exception. It began normal, deep breathing to relax. As I concentrated on my breathing I could feel everything starting to fade away for the moment and I was more then happy to let it. Within the meditation we were brought to a clearing in a forest. A fox was there to greet us and lead us to a cottage with a fire outside. The fox has unbelievable meaning for me alone so I was baffled to say the least when he was a feature in today's meditation. Followed by being led to a cottage in a forest. This whole scene I have seen many times in my dreams and meditations. It is a place I visit quite frequently. So to be led there during a meditation at this ritual I was astounded to say the least. Next to the fire was a stump with a quill pen and paper on which you were to write what you wished to create. I don't think an alarm could have gone off next to me and brought me out of that meditation, it took me no time at all to write my desires and what I wished to achieve this year on the piece of paper and throw it onto the fire watching the sparkly smoke swirl up and carry my thoughts to the universe.
The ritual as always was amazing :)) I did not have the seed and pot to plant a new plant like I did last year but I intend to go get it as soon as I can get out of my driveway lol :)))) I'm surrounded by snow, I mean lots of snow, and the cold of winter but I know that spring is very near as well as the new beginnings that I desire.
I made the graphic above while meditating on my experience with the ritual this afternoon. I hope you will like it. Have a Blessed Imbolc

Just by its name, you would think that the Lovers card in a Tarot deck would signify romance, love and marriage. Good guess. The Lovers card has a lot to do with relationships, sexuality, personal beliefs, and values.
Has the Lovers card ever come up when you are reading Tarot cards? The Lovers card speaks for itself. The Lovers card is number 6 on the list of Tarot cards.
For most people, when they are looking for advice from either a fortune teller or a psychic, they want the Lovers card to appear.
Why is this?
The Lovers card deals with forming bonds, feeling loved, creating a loving union, acknowledging a relationship bond, having sympathy of another person, becoming closer, establishing a connection, and being intimate.
The Lovers card signifies a world where there are no boundaries to intimacy, romance flourishes, and sex is passionate, but gentle. At the same time the Lovers card represents life-long partnerships, companionship, and trusting another person that you are in love with.
Given that love is such a universal need, it is little wonder that most individuals feel the need for it somewhere in their Tarot reading
1) Breaking Down The Lovers Card
The Lovers card is part of the major arcana. Love is one of the many stages of life, and that means it is a fairly important card in a reading.
The Lovers card represents that an individual is looking for a union, experiencing desire, making love, being open to love, responding with passion, feeling a physical attraction, or tapping into the energy within them.
When this card is turned, predominately, the person who is having their Tarot cards read is in a committed relationship or is looking for attention from the opposite sex.
Because of the personal beliefs of the individual, they are questioning who they are, trying to find where they stand, being true to themselves, walking their on path in life, abiding by their own principles, or making up their own mind.
Overwhelmingly, though, the Lovers card does not represent being a loner. In dealing with the values of the person, they may be deciding what their values are at that time, struggling with temptation, choosing between what is right and wrong, refusing to let the ends justify the means, or discovering what is truly important to them.
2) The Two Types of Lovers Cards
a. The Upright Lovers Card
This card represents being in tune with others and an improvement in the relationships you have, especially ones that are romantic in nature. This card carries a clear message that we should all develop a deep connection with the others that share our lives.
b. The Reversed Lovers card
This card is a warning not to make hasty decisions as you may regret them in the future. You have to be careful with the decisions you make and make sure they feel like the right decisions in your gut. The reversed Lovers also symbolizes bad timing and frustration in relationships
3) Cards That May Reinforce The Lovers Card
There are a few cards in the tarot deck that mean similar things to The Lovers card including such cards as:
a) The Empress
This card represents sexual fulfillment and feeling pleasure in your relationship as well as being very sexually active.
b) Two of Cups
This card symbolizes a union, marriage, or some type of connection. It also stands for happiness of the person that is in that relationship.
c) Nine of Cups
This card stands for outright sexual pleasure. The person is promiscuous and has no qualms about their body.
d) Ten of Cups
This card stands for solid permanent unions and family ties.
e) Ten of Pentacles
This card stands for a person that has been in a long marriage and has full grown children, who they are still close to.
f) Can The Lovers Tarot Card Help your Relationship?
Many people want to know if the Lovers card will be the remedy for their problems in relationships.
It is often the case that people feel that Tarot cards will enlighten them so that they will be able to read their partner. They have the belief that these cards can give them information about relationships they are currently in, as well as past ones.
So can your relationship questions be answered by the Lovers card?
It has been said that that cards reveal secrets in your relationship, which then will reveal other aspects of your life, and then it snowballs. Finally, everything you wanted to know about is exposed to you. The Lovers card may just hold your relationship secrets.

"If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no.If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place."
- Nora Roberts
Merry Meet and Good Morning :))) Blessings to you and yours for a magickal day today. Today is Monday, January 7, 2013
Mondays are ruled by the magic and mystery of the Moon and are days of peace, sleep, healing, compassion, friends, psychic awareness, purification, and fertility. The moon and humanity are intrinsically linked. The moon affects so many cycles in our lives like the ocean's tides, feminine cycles, and seasonal cycles. Focus on accepting change gracefully, release your anxieties and past hurts and let go of your past. Today is a good day for spells involving emotions, the subconscious, domestic issues, feminine issues, psychic pursuits and dream work. If you are working with stones today choose pearls, moonstones or crystals for protection. Use emeralds for amulets.
Tonight's Moon is Waning, Fourth Quarter in Scorpio. The Waning Moon is a time for study, meditation, and little magickal work except magick designed to banish harmful energies. The Waning Moon represents the Goddess in her Crone aspect. It's a time to celebrate the wisdom gained through life. The Moon in Scorpio increases awareness of psychic power. It precipitates psychic crises and ends connections thoroughly. People tend to brood and become secretive. The magickal color of the day is Gray, and the incense of the day is Rosemary. Have an amazingly magickal day!
Love and Blessings,
Jasmeine Moonsong

Bed The position of a bed has significance in many cultures, although opinions seem
to be evenly divided as to whether the bed should be aligned north-south or
east-west for best results; perhaps a better idea is to go with the opinion that
the bed should point in the same direction as the floorboards, rather than go
across them. In Chinese Feng Shui, a bed which is arranged so that the sleeper's
feet point towards the door is unlucky; this is known as the Coffin position,
but can be cured with the addition of a crystal between the bed and the doorway.
A bed which is cut across by overhead beams is also unlucky as it cuts through
the life energy; red tassels should be hung on the beams to correct this. It is also considered unlucky to get out of bed in the morning on a different
side to that on which the bed was entered the night before; anyone who does so
will have a bad temper all day and is said to have.got out of bed on the wrong
side'.
Candles To our ancestors, candles were often the only source of light, and the way a
candle burns is often considered portentous. If the candle-flame burns blue and
dim, it is considered a sign that a spirit is passing, although in some places a
blue flame indicates frost on the way. A bright spark in the wick means a letter
for the person nearest the candle, or sometimes the arrival of a visitor.
Weather was also foretold by candle-flame; a flame which flickers and wavers
when there is no breeze or draught means windy weather is on the way, whereas a
candle which will not light easily indicates rain.
It was deemed unlucky to light a candle from the hearth. Candles should also be
blown out before they burned out, for if they were allowed to gutter out in the
candlestick it was said that a sailor would die at sea. To snuff a candle out
accidentally was an omen of a wedding. Three candles should never be lit from a
single match or taper, and to have three candles burning in one room was very
ill-omened, although in some parts of Britain it foretold a wedding. In other
places people who sat together in a room with three candles lit would quarrel. It was considered unlucky to leave a candle to burn in an empty room (a
superstition which probably originated in the practical fact that it would waste
the candle!) However, a large candle was often left burning through the night of
Christmas Eve in order to ensure prosperity, warmth and light throughout the
coming year; this custom has its origins in the pre-Christian festival of Yule.
Candles were used in spells by our ancestors, as they still are today. A lover
could be called to visit by thrusting two pins into a lit candle and reciting a
charm over it.
Front Door The front door in some districts was rarely used except on special occasions,
but as the symbolic and ceremonial entrance it was the centre of a number of
traditions. A bride must always leave by the front door, both going to the
ceremony and leaving on the honeymoon. When moving into a new home, it is
considered wise to enter for the first time by the front door, to ensure that
life in that house will not be unhappy.
After a death, the front door was often left unlocked until the burial of the
body, lest the soul of the dead person be confused and unable to leave the
house. During the funeral, the coffin was carried out of the house through the
front door, which was then left open until the mourners returned after the
burial in order that the person's spirit might come and go freely.
Hearth Before the introduction of electric and gas heating, the hearth was the symbolic
(and often literal) centre of the house. In ancient times the fire burnt in the
middle of the main room, where it served for cooking and heating and
symbolically stood for the source of life. In ancient times the fire was never
allowed to go out; the phrase 'a desolate hearth' also meant an abandoned house,
a scattered family, lost kinfolk. A bride would be led to the hearth of her new
home and the fire-irons put into her hand to symbolize her new status as
mistress of the house.
In Scotland and Ireland the open peat fires were often ritually raked at night;
this was a complicated ceremony involving the division of the embers into three
separate parts with a small heap in the middle, each of which had a peat laid in
it, the whole thing then being covered with just enough ashes to keep the fire
quiet without extinguishing it. Generally performed by the woman of the house,
this ritual was intended for protection of the entire household and sleeping
family, symbolized by the subdued fire.
It is still often considered unlucky to poke someone elses fire without
permission, unless one had known the householder well for at least seven years.
Until the last century it was also considered in some parts of Britain to be
unlucky to give fire, or even a light, out of one's house on New Year's Day; if
fire was given it was said that a death would follow within the year. The behaviour of a fire in the grate is the source of many omens. If the fire
burns all on one side, or falls into two heaps in the grate, a parting is
foretold; if it will not start in the morning it foretells quarrels in the house,
and quarrels are also foretold from a spluttering piece of coal. A coffin-shaped
piece of coal flying out of the fire and into the room foretells a death,
whereas a cradle-shaped (oval) piece means a birth. If the flames are bluish, or
very high, it means that frosty weather is coming. A cluster of bright sparks at
the back of the chimney means good news on the way, and dull sparks means bad
news.
Knife In previous centuries a knife was a very personal possession, carried at all
times by its owner and used for hunting and work as well as cutting food. A
steel knife was regarded as being protection against fairies and curses; a house
could be protected by a knife being thrust into the door and a baby protected by
a knife stuck into the headboard of its cradle. A knife could also be thrust
into the mast of a boat for luck, although the word 'knife' was never spoken at
sea.
If two knives are crossed accidentally at the table it means bad luck or
quarrels unless one of the knives is immediately straightened. A knife falling
to the ground means the arrival of a male visitor. A knife with a white handle
could be used to divine whether the inquirer's future spouse would be fair or
dark; the knife was spun round, and if it came to rest with the handle pointing
towards the inquirer, the spouse would be fair; if the blade pointed at them,
the spouse would be dark.
The most common belief about knives is that a knife given as a gift will sever
the love or friendship between giver and recipient; a knife should never be
taken without something being rendered in exchange, generally a penny or other
small coin.
Laundry Some days are considered bad for doing laundry; clothes should never be
washed on New Year's Day, since this was once thought to 'wash one of the family
away' or to cause a death or parting of someone in the family. Laundry was
generally done at the beginning of the week, and therefore washing on a
Saturday was considered the mark of a bad housewife. In Wales it was considered a bad omen to spill water on the way from the spring
or well to the washtub; it is also unlucky to splash water about too freely
during the washing, or for the laundress to make her own clothes very wet. It
was once said that if an unmarried girl got wet while doing the laundry, her
husband was bound to be a drunkard.
Mirror The most common mirror superstition is that to break a mirror means seven years'
bad luck. It is also considered unlucky for an actor to look into the mirror
over another actor's shoulder, or to allow a baby to look at itself in a mirror
before it is a year old. The most unlucky omen of all is to look into a mirror
and see no reflection; this is said to be a certain omen of death.
Mirrors were once covered after there was a death in the house, since it was
thought that if someone saw their reflection at such a time, they or another
person in the house would die soon afterwards. Brides are also supposed to avoid
seeing themselves in their wedding clothes before the ceremony, lest something
happen to prevent the marriage taking place; this superstition is often got
around by having the bride leave off the veil, shoes, jewellery or
during the hysteria of the Burning Times it was considered a sure test of
witchcraft to drive a nail into the footprint of the suspected person. If really
a witch, it was thought that he or she would be compelled to return to the spot
to remove the nail.
In medieval times a cure for toothache was to scratch the gum with a nail till
it bled, and then to drive the nail into an oak tree. In Cheshire, nails were
used as part of a binding ceremony involving a group of people. A group would go
together to a wooded area away from their homes and would drive a nail into a
tree, swearing to keep their vow for as long as the nail was there. It could not
be withdrawn without the consent of all of them, but once it was removed, they
were all released from their vow.
Scissors Like knives, scissors as a gift were also considered to cut the bonds of
friendship and love, and must be given only in exchange for a small coin or
other token.
Scissors were also used like knives as a charm against evil; a pair of scissors
could be thrust into the door for protection, or opened to form a cross-shape
and laid on the threshold. To drop a pair of scissors by accident is unlucky,
and the person who dropped them should never pick them up; another person should
always be asked to do this. Scissors which fall point downward foretell a death
in the neighbourhood, unless their owner is a dressmaker, in which case they mean
an order for plenty more work to come.
Spoon To drop a spoon is generally said to mean that a child is about to visit the
house. A spoon which falls with the bowl downwards means a disappointment, but
if the bowl is uppermost it means a surprise on the way. Two teaspoons in a
saucer means a wedding; if they are in the saucer of a girl or young woman, they
mean that she will marry twice.

If you are a psychic advisor, then I am sure that you must feel pain at this time of year. You should never blame yourself because a psychic reading is truly for the visionary. Its really meant for people to see what a psychic may be seeing from their perspective. You are a seer and not a counselor. If someone comes to you for counseling, then you may want to tell them that you are only a psychic and that the call is for entertainment purposes only.
Psychic blogs do help people. Over the years, psychics have been called upon by top professionals to give them psychic readings concerning their lives on various different levels. When you look at your own spirit, you should try and see yourself as being someone real and very different. If you are like me, you enjoy reading good psychic material. I suggest that you find this at this stage in your life so that you can enjoy the many benefits of the psychic industry as a whole. If you look at your own life, you will be able to see that you can do great things with yourself and over time, you can see just how fast you can learn more about you and more about the things that are happening around you. If you feel that a psychic blog is beneficial to your well being, then you may want to use to help yourself.
The psychic industry has become a huge counseling hotline. Its no longer about psychic readings. Its sad, but true. I think that psychic clients have it easy. They can just pick up the telephone and speak with a psychic for any length of time and at their convenience. Even a counselor or a psychologist only works by appointment and often a counselor has a session with the client and doesnt speak much. A psychic has to do most of the talking and most of the predicting which really stinks. I give anyone credit that is a psychic because they have to respond to a clients question within 30 seconds. This is without ever meeting the person face to face or without ever getting to know someone for who they truly are.
The psychic hotline is jam packed with people that have all sorts of mental disorders to include: bipolar, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety and other psychological ailments. However, psychics have managed to give accurate psychic readings to these sorts of people that only professionals are supposed to work with. These mental disorders are not easily dealt with and psychics have to deal with these sorts of issues on a daily basis. Psychics do not hold any sort of bachelor or doctorate degree in anything. There is no law that says that a psychic must hold a license in counseling.
I think that when a person feels like they are in a different direction, they have to start moving foreword in their life in order to see help and healing coming to them. I think that people in general want to make sense out of their lives. Some people have no idea that in reality, they are going to feel good about life. We have to sometimes look at our life and realize that you are in good hands. You have to be willing to go foreword in your life and realize that you have a future and a destiny together. You have to try and make yourself accountable to what may be in front of you right now. Not everything is meant to give you purpose and not every single psychic in the world today is going to know how to help you.

PROPHECY SIGN: CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION
Do you suppose Jesus Christ was looking some 2,000 years into the future when he warned that Christians would be killed by those that they were thinking they were doing a service unto God? Isn't that what is happening now in many Muslim dominated nations? Christians are being persecuted and killed by a religion that believes to kill the infidel is to do God's, (Allah's), will.
Please pray for your persecuted Christian brethren and especially so for those in the Islamic controlled regions of the world.
"THEY WILL PUT YOU OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUE; IN FACT, A TIME IS COMING WHEN ANYONE WHO KILLS YOU WILL THINK HE IS OFFERING A SERVICE TO GOD. JOHN 16:2 NIV"From the articles:An Islamic group has claimed responsibility for Christmas Day church bombings in
Nigeria, which killed 39 people. Explosions ripped through five churches across the African country as Christians celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ. The spokesman for a group calling themselves Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the attacks in an interview with The Daily Trust, the newspaper known across
Nigeria's Muslim-dominated north. "There will never be peace until our demands are met," the newspaper quoted the spokesman as saying. "Northern Nigerian Christians said on Tuesday they feared that a spate of Christmas Day bombings by Islamist militants that killed over two dozen people could lead to a religious war in
Africa's most populous country. The warning was made in a statement by the northern branch of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), an umbrella organization comprising various denominations including Catholics, Protestant and Pentecostal churches.The Boko Haram Islamist sect, which aims to impose sharia Islamic law across
Nigeria, claimed responsibility for the blasts, the second Christmas in a row it has caused carnage at Christian churches. Saidu Dogo, secretary general for the CAN in Nigeria's 19
northern provinces called on Muslim leaders to control their faithful, saying Christians will be forced to defend themselves against further attacks.

BAPTISMAL RECEPTION INTO THE ORTHODOX CHURCH OF POLISH ACADEMIC PROFESSOR PAWEl P. WR'oBLEWSKI
Press announcement by the Holy Monastery of the Pantocrator dated 13/9/2012
Translated by OODE
By the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, (Acts 10:34); it was by His condescension that He invited into the Ark of Salvation - the Orthodox Church - Mr. Pawel Wr'oblewski, the Polish (Adjunct) Professor of the Seat of Ancient and Medieval Philosophy of the School of Philosophy of Wroclaw (formerly "Breslau"), who was baptized in our Holy Monastery.
Professor Pawel P. Wr'oblewski, Dr.(Ph.D.) of the History of Philosophy, specialized in the delivery of the texts of Aristotelian works (Corpus Aristotelicum), is descended from a Polish family traditionally dedicated to Roman Catholicism. He came in contact with the Holy Fathers of the Church three years ago through their sacred and divinely-inspired texts and became aware of the unique Truth of Orthodoxy, as well as the need to become incorporated therein, through holy Baptism. His acquaintance with the Holy Monastery of the Pantocrator at Melissochori in northern Greece reinforced his convictions, and he subsequently communicated with the Monastery, so that his already lengthy search might find an optimistic fulfilment, in accordance with the divinely-inspired Canons of the Ecumenical Councils. In a recent letter that he had sent to the local High Priest and our Prelate, the Metropolitan of Langadas, Lete and Rendini, Fr.John, the Professor deposited the experiences that had led him to his incorporation into the Orthodox Church; among other things, he wrote the following:.
Professor Wr'oblewski then spoke of his desire to be incorporated in the Church in the manner defined by the sacred Canons - that is, the Apostolic ones, especially the 46th, also those of the Ecumenical Councils, as well as the canonical epistles of Saint Basil the Great. In Poland, on account of the prevalence of the ecclesiology of Ecumenism and the (altered, as he wrote) "baptismal theology", it was not possible for him to be accepted through baptism, inasmuch as the incorporation through Chrismation is becoming more and more scarce there, and incorporation into Orthodoxy is being replaced from the year 2000 onwards, by Confession and Holy Communion alone.
Professor Wr'oblewski's baptism took place in the morning of Thursday, the 13th of September, in the Catholicon (Main Church) of the Holy Monastery of the Pantocrator at Melissochori, by His Eminence the Metropolitan John, who, after the Baptismal rite, addressed the neophyte with words of praise for God's bounteous Providence and the Professor's reciprocation to it, and words of edification for Paul (Pawel), to whom His Eminence stressed the uniqueness of Orthodoxy and the deifying energy that acts within Her boundaries, as well as the need for our constant spiritual struggle, "lest we become disqualified" (1 Cor.9:27) During the baptismal rite, where the "positive alteration" of the Professor was evident, all the Brothers of the Holy Monastery were present and prayerfully participating, along with Stephen, the godfather.
His Eminence honoured with his presence the entire event of this blessing, and later continued his conversation with Professor Wr'oblewski during the ensuing customary offerings and the meal in the Dining Hall, urging him to also visit other places of spiritual blessing, as well as the natural beauty of our region.
The University of Wroclaw (Uniwersytet Wroclawski) is one of the oldest Universities of Eastern Europe and the largest in the area, founded by the Jesuits around three centuries ago, currently hosting 40.000 students and 1.900 candidate doctors. The last participation of the young and hope-bearing Professor was at the International Russo-Polish Scientific Conference, regarding (Saint Petersburg, 21-25 May 2012), where Professor Wr'oblewski expounded the topic of "The Cultural Creativity of the Christendom according to Georges Florovsky").
The photograph we have inserted here is from the Conference (onferencja "Paradygmaty Wolno'sci w Filo"). The Professor has participated -parallel to his academic activity- in official missions of the Polish State abroad. His ecclesiologically documented and conscious turn to Orthodoxy, from within the traditional and austere roman-catholic environment of Poland is proof that not only does the Lord work salvation for those who were "afar off and to those who were near" (Ephes.2:17), but also that once again, those who baptismally become joined to the Body of Christ - the Orthodox Church - act with a benevolent conscience and are internally "informed", by having as their uncontested and unerring criterion and starting point the truthful documentation of ecclesiastic history, dogmatic self-awareness and the worshipping and canonical praxis of the Catholic Orthodox Church throughout the centuries.

There are a lot of information flying around the world at this time concerning events that are to supposedly come.For years now conspiracy theorists have been publishing material that suggest draconian agendas ahead.
Well does the Bible give any insights ? Lets examine a few popular ones theories.
New World Order/One World Government.
Is this true? Does the Bible give any clues?
Revelation 17:12
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. Dow compare this with Daniel 11:42.
So we see Ten Horns = Ten kings(world leaders).
They have one mind= a confederacy, a union.
They give power and strength to the beast= One power (one authority).
The whore sitteth on waters,which is represented as peoples, nations,tongues. (that is self explanatory).Bible symbols may help decipher further.
This to me sounds like a few ruling many.
Control of World Economics by one group or entity.
Again lets see if the Bible leaves any clues where this is concern.
Revelation 13:11-17.
11. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14. And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
One has to have global control of world finances to cause rich and poor not to by or sell except you have a mark;be it ID, chip, bar-code, smart card whatever.The point is this, a clue is given to suggest global control of commerce and economics. Wait a minute,there is more!
Daniel 11:43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
Well the first part "control over the treasures " is straightforward.
But who are the Libyans who do they represent?
Strong concordance gives some additional information on this,click here.
The Libyans or Lubims as they were called seem to be an afflicted nation, a dry and arid land.
Is this the poor nations represented here ? This sounds like 3rd world countries.
And the Ethiopians ? This one should be easy.
The Ethiopians when you do a Bible search,you always seem to have wealth on their end.
Acts 8:27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
2Chronicles 16:8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand.
Ethiopians seem to suggest nations of wealth,what we know today as First World Nations.
But what is interesting is that in the scripture of Daniel 11:43. It includes Egypt,which represents the worldly or specifically the whole world.
What does His steps mean?.. have you ever seen soldiers marching. They march in step, in unison,in agreement with one another. This suggest that what ever happens to the end. All the world will be in agreement of this one power being in control,rich,poor and inbetween. The only way for the world to given to such totalitarian rule is if we have a global financial catastrophe,( a global economic meltdown). James 5:1,2,3,4,5,6,7 talks about such an problem close to the end of the earth's history.
So the conspiracy theorist may be on to something when the talk about a global economic control.
Joining of church and state/ State control religion ?
Some people think freedom to worship will be an issue in this New Order of things.
Hmm lets examine some scripture again.
Daniel 11:45. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
Now what is a tabernacle? lets consult an on-line dictionary.
Dictionary.com says:
1.
any place or house of worship, esp. one designed for a large congregation.
2.
(often initial capital letter) the portable sanctuary in use by the Israelites from the time of their wandering in the wilderness after the Exodus from Egypt to the building of the Temple in Jerusalem by Solomon. Ex. 25-27
What is a Palace? lets consult an on-line dictionary again.
Dictionary.com says:
1.
the official residence of a king, queen, bishop, or other sovereign or exalted personage.
2.
a large and stately mansion or building.
we see that :
Tabernacle = Religious /church
Palace = political or state building
Now this is clear to me that some entity would be seeking to control government and worship at the same time. Not one or the other, but both simultaneously. There is only one nation/church/state in the world at this time. It resides in the Vatican,the place known as the city on seven hills. Is that so ? This is interesting read Revelation 17:9. it says : And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the *woman sitteth.
*Note in Bible a woman represents a church.
* pure woman= pure bride,pure church.
* impure woman =impure church, a harlot decked in gold.
Does Revelation give any clues on this church state entity?
Rev 16 :13 talks about 3 unifying to fulfilled the agenda of one name Babylon.
Revelation 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
False prophet= Religious the beast= political power as we have seen above.
The combination of church and state is consistent with Daniel another prophetic book in the Bible.
Most conspiracy theories are designed to deceive,but what if you design enough conspiracy theories so that its hard to pick the truth out if the truth is labelled as conspiracy theory.Hmm that would be the deception of all deception wouldn't it ?
Finally would we have a time of global war? a third world war maybe ?Civil wars?A Genocide?
A Genocide?
Daniel 11:44. But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
Revelation 17:14. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Civil wars?
Daniel12:1
1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Isaiah 19:1-5,
1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
2 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst ther; and I will destroy the counsel ther: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.
5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
A world war?
Isaiah 19:2
2 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
Winds of strife = war,natural disasters etc
four shows the East,west,north,south on compass. This means global.
There are precious trues hidden among the garbage of conspiracy.But we must allow the sifter the one who is truth to point us to the gems among the garbage. He can reveal all the truth necessary for your salvation in and information overburden world.
Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
The truth is there for all to see.Earnest seekers will find it!

The Chaossphere is the prime working tool of Chaos magicians and the Magical Pact of the Illuminates of Thanateros (IOT). The physical Chaossphere has a vast range of applications of which a few shall be briefly delineated here:
MEDITATION EMPLOYING THE CHAOSSPHERE:
1. The Chaossphere is a symbol of the primeval Big Bang, it maybe considered as a "FROZEN EXPLOSION" or even as "FROZEN INFORMATION". Regard the Chaossphere in a relaxed state, using the 180* stare if you prefer. After a while shut your eyes and meditate on the creative powers of Chaos. Chaos is not disorder let alone entropy but rather the sum total of all possibilities incumbent in existence and the unmanifest as a whole. In this manner you will open the doors to the magickal multiversum for yourself.
2. Proceed as described above simultaneously meditating on Nietzsches Zarathustra admonition: "I SAY UNTO YOU: A MAN MUST HAVE CHAOS YET WITHIN HIM TO BE ABLE TO GIVE BIRTH TO A DANCING STAR. I SAY UNTO YOU: YE HAVE CHAOS YET WITHIN YOU." You can have this statement read aloud to you by a partner or friend during your meditation (OR USE A CASSETTE RECORDING). Experience shows that this will greatly enhance the effect described above under item number 1.
SIGIL CHARGING EMPLOYING THE CHAOSSPHERE:
In lieu of other charging techniques you can project the magickal sigil activation into the Chaossphere; banishing (PREFERABLY BY LAUGHTER) should follow immediately. Afterwards aim to forget the whole magickal operation as thoroughly as possible to avoid interference with the sigil`s operation by the unwanted rise of consciousness of said operation/sigil and resultant inhibiting psychic censor activity.
DRAWING ENERGY EMPLOYING THE CHAOSSPHERE:
To be performed preferably after a meditation with the Chaossphere (SEE ABOVE); regard the Chaossphere in a very intensive manner for a while and stretch your palms in its direction. Now close your eyes fully or halfway and suck in the powers of Chaos through your palms while inhaling; exhaling, distribute the energies all over your body or store them in the Hara centre (APPR. THREE FINGERS` WIDTH BELOW THE NAVEL). You will probably experience these energies as a warm or cool current, possibly as a slightly tingling sensation.
TELEPATHY EMPLOYING THE CHAOSSPHERE:
During a partner experiment participants concentrate on the Chaossphere (CAN ALSO BE PERFORMED WITH DIFFERENT PARTICIPANTS WORKING ON DIFFERENT LOCATIONS); observe in a very relaxed state messages, information and/or images rising from the unconscious. Advanc-ed magicians will find that this experiment can be performed successfully via great distan-ces even without participants practicing simultaneously. For Chaos (= PURE INFORMATION) is not restricted by space and time.
Astral projection and lucid dreaming employing the Chaossphere:
1. Using the 180* stare regard the Chaossphere until you experience a strong suction emerging from the sphere and pulling at your "PSYCHIC ENTRAILS". This can frequently even be felt as a strong physical sensation. Give way to this suction and let your astral body emerge gradually. In the beginning this should be practiced partially, i.e. the astral body portion extracted increasing with every subsequent attempt. Thus, you may for example only project half an arm the first time, the full at the next go etc. Finally the astral body should emerge totally. Be aware that astral projection may demand weeks` or months` dedicated practice to succeed, depending on personal talent and inhibitions. Incidentally, the same technique may be used to extract the magickal doppelganger, personal daemons etc.
2. Immediately before dropping off to sleep visualize the Chaossphere as accurately as possible and continue as described above. This will induce either stronger astral projec-tion or lucid dreaming or both. This has proved to be an extremely powerful exercise, but it is strongly suggested that you attempt it only after having acquired a thorough working knowledge with the variant described above under item 1. (IF YOU START OFF WITH MENTAL WORKING CHANCES ARE THAT YOU WILL VERY SOON BECOME SEVERELY SLOPPY WITHOUT EVEN BEING AWARE OF THE FACT; THIS MAY IN TURN INHIBIT CONTROL OF MAGICKAL POWERS AND COULD LEAD TO OBSESSION.) You may also want to wake yourself up at 4 a.m. and give this exercise a try for a few minutes before dropping off to sleep again. Take care to note your dreams next thing in the morning, do not - repeat: DO NOT! - rely on your memory alone.
Activating psychogones/chaoservitors employing the Chaossphere:
Use the Chaossphere as a "BASE CAMP" and "HOME" for psychogones/chaoservitors and/ or as a form of "LAUNCHING PAD". In case of the former the Chaossphere presents itself as a high class power receptacle and storage battery from which you can extract your psycho-gones/chaoservitors into the Chaossphere as you would with sigils to be activated; thus, the Chaossphere will become a gate to the Sphere of Chaos for your magickal entities in which (AND FROM WHICH) they will become active in accord with your bidding.
CHARGING MAGICAL OBJECTS EMPLOYING CHAOSSPHERE:
Magical objects such as talismans, amulets, fetishes etc. can be charged with the aid of the Chaossphere by fastening them to the sphere or its tip during a ritual, placing them under it etc. while directing the energies of Chaos into the objects in question.
COMBAT MAGIC TRAINING EMPLOYING THE CHAOSSPHERE:
During combat magical training the Chaossphere is particularly suited as a power storage battery out of which the magician draws Magis or Mana. It is furthermore used as a com-bat target while practicing the kiai or other battle cries and martial arts Chi techniques. In the same manner, magickal energy bolts, curses, words of powers and strong affections are hurled emphatically into the Chaossphere where they may be stored for further use.
CHARGING THE CHAOSSPHERE:
Experience has shown that the Chaossphere does not demand a special charging by ritual etc. Rather, the charging takes place alone by its practical application. Should you desire to incorporate magickal "CONDENSATOR" fluids or solids (E.G. AS USED FOR CHARGING MAGICKAL MIRRORS) this can easily be achieved by unscrewing the tips and replacing them after filling in the condensator.

The "Dual" - GodHead
Was Invented
The "Dual" - GodHead
Was InventedThe Earliest of Christians worshipped the same God,
that Christ did. They were Jews and they worshipped
the Jewish God, Jehovah. This was the norm, until
Rome decided to take over and make Christianity
into a State Religion.
`
With an obvious Hatred of the Jews and their
Jewish God, Rome decided to fashion God into their
own framework. Thus the "Trinity" and the "Dual
Godhead
" - became the most popular way to represent
God at that time. These views were purely pagan,
and meant to satisfy the pagan populace that was
a large part of the Roman Empire at that time.
`
So, the Jewish God, Jehovah, was replaced with
pagan gods and pagan ideas. Anyone who questioned
or refused to accept these new views of God, were
tortured, and put to death.
`
In time, Jehovah was forgotten. His name was
removed from Bible manuscripts and the generic
"LORD" title was put in its place.
`These times of ignorance are over. It is Jehovah's
time - to make himself known throughout all the earth.
Pagan Rome is gone - and the truth will be made known. "Early Christians, facing scorn
and persecution decided to blend in
with their Pagan counterparts...
in order to blend in. The idea of
the holy trinity too, was an adopted
way to appeal to pagans."

REVERSING-CANDLES A REVIEW
Reversing candles are a special type of candle which are used to send evil, curses, and general negativity back to the sender. are comprised of two layers of wax. They are comprised of two layers of wax. The inner layer is red, while the outer layer is black. However, they are just as often sold commercially in the form of what appears to be two joined candles. The top portion is red while the bottom portion is black (see image at left).
When utilized, the top portion of the candle is cut off turned upside down and new wick is carved out of the bottom portion. This process is called "butting the candle". "Next, the enemy's name is carved on the candle so that the letters are reversed. It is then dressed with Reversing Oil and burned on top of a mirror under which the name-paper or photograph of the enemy is placed faced down.
Lastly, the candle is lit with fervent prayer that all the evil that has been sent to you may now be sent back to the enemy. When burned, the black wax melts down on the red wax symbolically overcoming the evil.
MAKING YOUR OWN REVERSING CANDLES
As stated above, reversing candles are sold commercially by online candle-shops, botanicas, and spiritual practitioners who burn them for clients. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes including Tapers, Jumbo Candles, and Vigil Lights.
However, some folks prefer to make their own for a variety of reasons. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
* They can't afford to purchase one.
* For whatever reason, they do not have access to online shops or physical retailers where they can be purchased.
* They prefer to make their own because it appeals to their sense of craftsmanship, artistry, and enhances the process of burning them.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN REVERSING CANDLES
Folks who make their own reversing-candles often purchase use red-candles and black ones. They cut up the black candles into small pieces and remove the wicks. The black wax is slowly melted over low heat and then herbs for reversing such as bay leaves, ginger, knot weed, devil's shoe string, red pepper are sprinkled over the wax. Finally, the red-candles are rolled through the black wax so that it adheres to the red-candle resulting in a candle that is black on the outside and red on the inside.
Some folks may find this a messy process and, in some ways, I agree. The method I am about to share with you now was taught to me by one of my mentors early on in my spiritual journey. It utilizes a plain white-candle, red-yarn, and white yarn.
Start with a plain, white-candle. Cut the tip off the top of the candle, turn it upside down and dig a new wick out of the bottom as previously described. Next, using a sharp knife, divide the candle in half by carving a groove all the way around the candle at its center.
Cut a length of black yarn, put a bit of reversing oil on both your thumb and fore-finger and run the yarn between them transferring the oil to the yarn. Now, tie the black-yarn around the center of the candle and wrap it away from you moving up the candle and secure this with a pin. Cut a length of red-yarn and dress it with the reversing oil as before. Tie it around the center of the candle just under where the black-yarn begins and wrap around the candle towards you towards the bottom of the candle. This can then be secured with another pin or placed in the candle-holder in such as way that it holds the yarn in place.
Finally, place the candle on top of a mirror with your written-petition, photograph, etc... face down on top of the mirror (but also under the candle). The candle may then be lit as you make your prayer or petition and the candle is allowed to burn out as usual. ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS This process may also be used with other colors for example, use green/black candles to reverse a money jinx or pink/black to reverse a love-jinx, etc...If you find that all you have are white candles and wish to incorporate color into your workings you can wind a piece of colored yarn around your candle (towards you to attract, or away from you to repel). Finally, even if you have the color of candle that you desire, you may still use this method in your own workings by using a secondary-color that compliments the working. For example, a yellow candle with green yarn (or vice versa) for a money-drawing ritual.

Yule Ritual Meditation
Settle yourself. Close your eyes. Feel your body relax. Feel as the tensions drain from your face, your neck, your shoulders, your arms, your torso, your legs. Sense the whole of your body, calm, heavy in its relaxation. Center yourself. Feel for that calm, comfortable center, in which you are whole.
Ground yourself. Extend yourself into the earth, your mother. Feel as your roots grow into the ground, as you find your connectedness with her again.
This time is the time of Yule, the Winter Solstice, when the sun clings most closely to the horizon. It is a time for rebirth. While many months of winter still await us, the days now begin to lengthen, holding behind the hoary frost the promise of the gentle breath of Spring.
Extend your senses beyond the walls, to the world outside. Smell in the crisp cold a hint of snows yet to come. See, in your mind's eye, the clear clean air.
Old dry leaves, long fallen, rustle as they tumble around, caught finally in the tangled stems of dormant shrubs. Bark cracks in the hard frost, and breaks away, falling unnoticed to the earth.
The last of the fall berries dance and sway in the wind, the wind that moans through black branches, crooked fingers that rip the bellies of low heavy clouds. Snow swirls silently into the frozen tracks of squirrels and foxes, rabbits and raccoons, revealing their secret paths. Jays call raucously, as sparrows fluff their breast feathers, puffing up and huddling close to conserve their meager heat.
The fields lie bare, the harvest of wheat, pumpkins and corn safe in the barns.
The crows scavenge for stray grains which escaped the harvester's blade. The orchards are empty, their leaves tossed by the storms, their fruit deep in the cellars.
We - we are snug, cocooned in the warmth of our homes and the warmth of our kith and our kin. The winds will howl with the wolves as we remember the harvest just past, and we rest and regenerate as we look to the rebirth of life in the Spring. For now the sun is returned, beginning his slow journey, regaining his ascendancy, as the wheel turns again.
Now, rouse yourselves, and join us, and dance and sing, and celebrate the birth of the sun!

On the same day as the Washington state senate votes on a bill to legalize gay marriage, the Florida senate was preparing to vote on a bill that would legalize prayer in public school classrooms, further illustrating the widening rift between the religious right and the secular left in the United States. Ideally no such rift would exist in the first place, but the argument supporting public school prayer has several problems which deserve to be addressed: it is unrealistic to think that all religions will be accommodated, public school prayer could create unnecessary tensions and divisions in the classroom, and there is a perfectly legitimate alternative.
On the surface, the bill would seem to skirt any potential violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution by ensuring that all religions are represented fairly and neutrally, as in a comparative religion class. Only students would be allowed to give the prayers, which would be required to include a message of inspiration. The definition of what is inspirational would be determined by the state, and school districts would not have the authority to change this definition. Additionally, in order to prevent public officials from endorsing a biased view of religion, public school employees would be barred from vetting or in any other way revising or changing the students' prayers. Ostensibly, under the proposed law, any religious message could and would be accommodated.
It isn't certain that this is the case, though, and there are some serious logistical problems with any attempt to accommodate religious prayers and messages in public schools. To be fair, the religions of all students must be accommodated, without a single exception. But how do we accomplish this? With some sort of special list or roster? Only so many students can be accommodated, and most students are Christian, so by the time a non-Christian student has the chance to get their name on the school's special "prayer list", it might be too late because every space is filled in with the name of a Christian student. Florida schools might have to start turning away non-Christians if and when Christians gain the upper-hand. Also, it's hard to believe the average Florida school administrator would accommodate a Satanist or voodoo practitioner, so all religions probably wouldn't be represented. The consequence is that the vast majority of prayers would represent a Judeo-Christian perspective, while some would most likely be flatly rejected or, at the very least, discouraged. And that isn't exactly fair. So even if the stated intent is to represent a fair and neutral perspective on religion, it won't necessarily turn out that way.
Besides, even if we were able somehow to bring together all religious viewpoints in the public school classroom, there is no guarantee that these viewpoints will meld together harmoniously and peacefully in an environment of mutual respect. People are passionate about their religious beliefs because, by habit, religion tends to be less concerned with calm philosophical reasoning. This is perhaps even truer for the male-dominated Abrahamic religions, which have been the source of much violence and terrorism in the world. Imagine if a Christian student said a prayer, and a fundamentalist Muslim student was offended by the Christian's message, or, equally, if a Muslim said a prayer and a fundamentalist Christian decided he deserved to be harassed or beaten on the playground to punish his spiritual infidelity. Given their minority status, Muslim, pagan, atheist, and other students will be especially vulnerable to harassment and bullying in school if stormy, emotional debates about religion are opened up in public schools. This is particularly worrying due to the fact that schools are supposed to be places where students have access to education in a safe, peaceful environment. Creating opportunities for religious tension and, potentially, bullying, doesn't seem like a good idea, then, especially given the growing cultural diversity of the United States.
The problems with Florida's school prayer bill do not end with the difficulties of trying to accommodate every religion, or the tensions created by opening up the classroom to religious instruction; they include the assumption that all good moral and inspirational messages are necessarily rooted in religious instruction. One supporter of the Florida bill, Sen. Ronda Storms, R-Valrico, suggested that opponents of the bill didn't want children to be inspired at all, as CBS Miami reports: Storms expressed her bewilderment over the mounting opposition to the bill, asking, "[d]o you suppose that opponents want, instead of to inspire little first graders, maybe they want to demoralize them?" But this is a fallacy. What Storms does here is create a false dichotomy, which states that only one of two options are possible when in fact there is a third (and, probably, many more), perfectly good option. Storms assumes that only religious inspirational messages or demoralizing messages are possible when in fact secular inspirational messages are possible, too. Nobody is arguing that children shouldn't be inspired, but the inspiration of our nation's children needn't be rooted in religion; it is this secular inspirational message which is appropriate for public school situations. It almost seems as though Storms knows this but deliberately creates the impression that it isn't the case. So, no, the people of Florida - as well as the rest of America - doesn't have to settle with a bill that permits religious prayer in public schools.
All of this public school prayer legislation is a bit tiring, especially in a country which is supposed to be a secular democracy, but separation of state and church is a principle worth fighting for. Florida's proposed school prayer measure is simply a bad idea: it's unlikely that all religious viewpoints will be accommodated, it opens the door to religious tension and conflict, and secular messages offer a perfectly legitimate and neutral alternative for inspiring and electrifying students in a spirit of solidarity and harmony. When we reflect on these observations, legislation like the Florida bill begins to look more like an incrementalist attempt to insinuate religion into public policy, an ominous prospect indeed. This is something the Universal Life Church Monastery treats with extreme caution, because it is a fine line between letting students express their religious beliefs, and endorsing those beliefs through preferential treatment.
