Es la 'epoca en que la Diosa se recupera despu'es de dar a luz al Dios. El Dios es un joven fuerte y su poder es sentido en los d'ias m'as largos. El calor fertiliza la Tierra.
Los hielos comienzan a descongelarse, y la flora y fauna vuelven a la vida, despu'es de haber estado dormidos durante el invierno.
Los nombres alternativos de esta festividad son: Imbolc, Brigantia, Candlemas, Lupercur, Candelaria, Disting, Oimelc, D'ia de Brid, Brigit's Day.
La palabra Imbolc significa literalmente "en el vientre" (de la Madre). La semilla que fue plantada en el solsticio de invierno est'a creciendo. Oimelc significa "leche de ovejas", tambi'en es usado este nombre, debido a que tambi'en es la 'epoca de nacimiento de las cr'ias.
Tradicionalmente Imbolc honra a las semillas que bajo Tierra empiezan a germinar.
Es la primera celebraci'on mayor del a~no. Corresponde al despertar de la naturaleza, es un Sabbat de purificaci'on, una celebraci'on de luz y fertilidad, se le conoce como la fiesta de las luces o candelaria.
Es una 'epoca propicia para iniciaciones, autodedicaciones, tambi'en se considera que es la 'epoca apropiada para iniciar nuevos proyectos, comprometernos con nosotros mismos.
Antiguamente en Europa era celebrada con enormes llamaradas, antorchas y fuego en toda forma, para nosotros, el fuego representa nuestra propia iluminaci'on e inspiraci'on, as'i como luz y calor.
Imbolc celebra los d'ias que, visiblemente, van siendo cada vez m'as largos y nos anima a limpiarlo todo y a prepararse para la atareada estaci'on que se avecina.
Los antiguos Celtas denominaban este d'ia "D'ia de Brigith", en honor a la triple diosa de este nombre.
En Imbolc piden inspiraci'on y gu'ia para sus nuevos planes y proyectos, y le dedican algunos pensamientos a los misterios ocultos que est'an teniendo lugar en la oscuridad. Al igual que la tierra oscura gesta la vida que va a surgir y a florecer en primavera, honran sus momentos de poder oscuro. que gestan el crecimiento que les va a sostener en los c'alidos y soleados meses de creatividad que est'an por venir.
Una de las celebraciones m'as hermosas es la costumbre de poner velas en todas las ventanas de la casa, empezando la tarde de v'ispera, dej'andolas encendidas hasta el amanecer. Adem'as este d'ia se utiliza para hacer todas las velas que utilizar'as durante los otros Sabbats, tambi'en se hacen rituales de purificaci'on y limpieza para la casa. Lo importante es festejar este d'ia honrando las artes po'eticas y femeninas, es una de las fiestas m'as dedicadas a las mujeres solteras que buscan un buen esposo, y casadas que piden por su felicidad.
RITUAL
Como todo ritual, debe comenzar con los pasos entregados en "Preparaci'on para rituales".
ALTAR: Para este ritual usaremos vela anaranjada previamente ungida con aceite de almizcle, canela, ol'ibano o romero. Se puede usar una flor blanca.
Una vez realizadas las invocaciones, col'ocate enfrente del altar y di:
Este es el tiempo de la fiesta de antorchas. Cuando cada l'ampara arde y brilla para darle la bienvenida al renacimiento del Dios. Celebro a la Diosa, celebro al Dios, toda la Tierra celebra debajo de su manto de sue~no. !Luz para la oscuridad!. Ahora el Dios padre ha alcanzado el cenit de su viaje, 'el gira para darle la cara a la Diosa madre, aunque separados ellos son uno.
Prendes la vela anaranjada mientras dices:
El Dios ha realizado la mitad de su viaje, adelante ve la luz de la Diosa, y el inicio de una nueva vida, despu'es de este periodo de descanso.
Tomas la vela del altar y comienzas a caminar en deocil (hacia la izquierda para el hemisferio sur) alrededor del c'irculo diciendo:
Todo el campo est'a envuelto en invierno, el aire est'a enfriado y la escarcha cubre la tierra. Pero el Se~nor del Sol, carnudo del bosque y de los animales salvajes ha renacido de la beningna Diosa madre, se~nora de la fertilidad !Salve gran Dios! !Salve Gran Diosa!
Detente frente al altar, con la vela levantada. Mira fijamente la llama, visualiza la vida emergiendo del sue~no del invierno, con renovada energ'ia y fortaleza.
Despu'es de esto, pueden seguir los trabajos m'agicos, si se requieren.
Contin'ua con el banquete (comida y bebida). Despu'es de hacerlo, despide a la Diosa madre, al Dios padre y a los elementos.
El ritual ha terminado.

* MAGUIMBA - Who in remotest times lived among the people, having been summoned by a powerful babaylan, and he supplied all the necessities of Batak life, as well as all the cures for illness. He even had the power to bring the dead back to life.
* DIWATA - Provided for the needs of men and women, and gives out rewards for good deeds. Sanbay is a ritual in honor of Diwata, who is asked by the people to bless them with generous harvests of palay (unhusked rice) and honey. This ritual takes place inside a forest, about 2-3 km from the beach. Two huts are constructed for the ritual. Palay is placed in one of the huts. A replica of a beehive, meanwhile, is situated in another small hut. Prayers are recited to Diwata by the babaylan, after which the people in attendance gather together in festive eating, drinking, and dancing.
* ANGORO - Lives in Basad, a place beyond this world where the souls of the dead go, and it is there where they come to know if they are to proceed to Lampanag (heaven)or be cast into depths of the Basad, where fire and boiling water await these hapless ones.
There are also lesser gods in the Batak pantheon, some of whom are Siabuanan, Bankakah, Paraen, Buengelen, and Baybayen. They are deities of great strength.
* BATUNGBAYANIN - Spirit of the mountains.
* PAGLIMUSAN - Spirit of the small stones.
* BALUNGBUNGANIN - Spirit of the almaciga trees.
* SULINGBUNGANIN - Spirit of the big rocks.

Winter Solstice yowls and howls, my holiday-romping and regal Felines... mild temps on the tame prairie... but, a wool blanket might as well have been covering the sky.
Winter Solstice ~ The Secret Power of Women... as the Kougaress pondered on the cosmic forces lining up during this Lunar Eclipse marriage to the Winter Solstice, she felt the mental wand tap, that ah-ha moment of knowing... at one time in our pre-history women worked and created together. They could keep their people protected and prosperous by simply using their natural magick, and willing it.
In these times, and since recorded history, every evil effort has been made to keep women, and everyone, divided against each other. This has kept us from knowing and using our true power as women. It has also brought us to this time of horror, economic collapse and cruel chaos.
A circle of women who are devoted to their people would never allow this Dark Ages state of affairs to occur. They would never allow Monsanto, for example. Nor would they allow the BIG OIL companies to exist... not when using alcohol and other natural resources would keep humanity free rather than enslaved.
Lest you believe this is a male-bashing moment... no... the Kougaress adores men in general... plus, most men are in the same boat... just as downtrodden, and kept castrated by THOSE who want global rule over ALL of us.
Of course, the challenge becomes, how do we as women return to our natural power? It seems as though a whole lot of women don't own a clue... yet, now is THE TIME that the feminine will 'awaken' as never before, while remaining in harmony with the masculine force. The faster this occurs, the better off we'll ALL be.
The energies of the Lunar Eclipse intertwined with the energies of the Winter Solstice is the TURNING POINT. We have arrived at a new epoch in time, that of the feminine force and masculine force not only hand-fasting with each other, but enhancing each other in beautiful and profound ways that cannot even be imagined currently.
The tail-switching holiday moment: No, the Kougaress IS NOT anywhere near the last mad whirl of shopping before Christmas. ~Happy, happy cat dance here~

Your Monday Wake-Up Call, and This Week's Episode
by Pat Cunningham
Here's a little something to get the blood flowing on a Monday. It was also my inspiration for the M/M vampire story Siren just accepted. They've mentioned a May 2011 e-pub date. I haven't even gotten the contract yet, so it's way too soon to post excerpts. I'll start pushing those closer to release day, along with a new blog, probably on the thin line between inspiration, homage and plagiarism.
AND!
The Kougar will post in her usual Tuesday slot, on the 21st. Her bloggie isn't done. However here's one of the first paragraphs ~
White Fang balanced himself on the narrow ledge outside of Damien Hancock's mountainside mansion. Watching the eye glints of Hancock's pack sentinels, he avoided detection as he inched toward the office window, designed to look down upon the town of Talbot's Peak.

Cowboys for Christmas Released December 17th from Aspen Mountain Press
By Destiny Blaine
Cowboys for Christmas is now available from Aspen Mountain Press. Following one of my all-time western m'enage best sellers, Domination Plantation, Cowboys for Christmas made its debut just in time for the holidays. I hope you'll stop by ~ aspenmountainpress.com ~ and read more about this novella.
Julie Kensworth opens her door to more than a blizzard and greets two wayward cowboys. She realizes right away she's headed straight for the eye of the storm.
Brandon Blake and Quinn Stewart are a long way from home. They're looking for a warm place to hang their hats while they try to wait out the snow and ice, which continues to gain momentum.
Julie is an author and she's not just the average writer, she's one of the most notorious writers in the world. When Quinn and Blake figure out Julie is an erotic romance author, well, needless to say, their minds churn with all sorts of ideas, most of them geared toward how they can heat up the cold winter nights ahead.

A Conversation with Mistletoe
by Linda Banche
Greetings all, I am Mistletoe. You know me-the green plant with white berries you most often see at Christmas time. My association with Christmas arises because I am an evergreen and will remain green even in the dead of winter, but you can see me all year if you know where to look. Mainly on apple and oak trees.

1 + 1 + 1 = Story
By Pat Cunningham
(Note: this post originally appeared on Shapeshifter Seductions back in January 2010. The book in question, under the title "Belonging," was recently accepted by Siren. That's how long it takes me to write something. E-pub date is tentatively scheduled for May 2011.
From Astrology.com ~
December 21st marks the annual Winter Solstice, and with it comes your chance to start afresh - or to at least get the gears in motion.
In ancient times, the Winter Solstice was a day for celebration. The shortest day of the year, it meant that the sun would soon return, providing more light and warmth. It also represented rebirth and a chance for new beginnings. Though we may no longer carry out festivals quite like our ancient ancestors, the meaning and power of the Winter Solstice remain the same.
On December 21, the sun will move into Capricorn, as it always does this time of year. Capricorn is symbolized by the mountain goat, which is emblematic of the sure-footedness and focus embraced by those influenced by Capricorn. Right now, it won't matter what your own sun sign is: as long as the sun is in Capricorn, you'll feel the effects. That means this is great time to kick start plans for your New Year's resolutions. Put together your list now, and consider different approaches you can take to ensure that you stick with your resolutions more easily in the coming year.
This same day will mark another important astrological event: the lunar eclipse in Gemini. A lunar eclipse is a powerful full moon that occurs only twice a year. They generally bring some sort of challenge to your spiritual development, and this eclipse is no different. You'll feel a heightened awareness to all that surrounds you, but specifically, you'll notice a rather distinct tug of war occurring between your heart and your head. Try not to let either side win. The key here will be balance. Find some way to create a harmony between the two directions your mind and your heart are pulling you. This lunar eclipse will prompt you toward some sort of change, and if you follow it, the next six months will be that much more fulfilling for it.

Sylva's gaze flew to Nevada's face and glued itself. "Sorry to say there is, daughter. Seems like we ain't the only ones to be attacked." Sylva could hear the collective breath of everyone as Nevada paused. "There's been ten such strikes within a five hundred mile radius. And word is, there have been other areas across the continent where the robo-planes have struck with the same type of missile. Got the men keepin' track, and gatherin' information." In the silence, Sylva spoke the understanding that came to her. "It's a test of defenses. They want to know who has what."
Zeke leaned back, breaking eye contact. Hellfire, a rat might as well be gnawing at his insides, given his impatience suddenly threatened his control. "Dang it, hang it, boys. Ain't that the way it always is? If you got specifics start jawing. Otherwise, I'm headin' back to my bride." Zeke stood, and was straightening when Wes drawled, "Don't send us to the hangin' tree yet." The man's eyes glinted with his desire to talk. Zeke leaned against the transport wall, eyeing him hard. "You'll find out robo-plane attacks took place around the world. We wanted to get hold of one..."

IT'S A NEW MOON IN PISCES ON MONDAY MARCH 11, 2013 AT 3:50PM EDT.
Now we're finally in daylight saving time and spring is just over a week away.
A lot of personal energy is focused in the spiritual sign of Pisces right now, with the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Chironand Mars all accompanying Neptune, the ruler of Pisces. That's 7 heavenly bodies in Pisces. Since February 23 Mercury has been retrograde traveling backwards in Pisces, connecting closely with these personal planets. It's been an important time to reconsider our personal spiritual paths.
In the broader picture of spirituality in our material world, the Pope resigning has been getting a lot of attention in the news, of course. This seemingly sudden transformation of a figurehead of such a long reigning institution puts the Church front and center. The transfer of power and all the baggage that the Church has accumulated has many people reconsidering what exactly the Catholic Church, and religion, symbolizes and represents in our current society and how dogma and spiritual ideals are in tune, or out of tune, with humanity today. The process of choosing the next Pope as well as figuring out how to go forward with all its scandals fits well with this Mercury retrograde period. A slightly clearer understanding and direction will start to reveal itself after the 17th, when Mercury begins moving direct again. Remember though, Pisces does bring delusion and the fog can hang thick. "Some have said the Pope's resignation signifies the end of the age of Pisces. "
Jupiter, signifying religious institutions, is also in difficult position to Mercury retrograde in Pisces now. It will be interesting to see what kind of challenges, twist, turns and revelations come forward as the world's largest religious institution gets a new leader. Difficult decisions and reconsideration may lead to eventual transformation, but with this astrological turning point keeping the forbidden things shrouded in mystery and hidden behind the veil is the more likely path forward. The transformation of the institution itself is important, but more importantly are the personal choices the general population makes about how they relate to spirituality now, regardless of which religious beliefs on does, or does not, ascribe to.
With the Sun in Pisces though, the fog may lift in some of our lives, but we will have to be honest about how we approach our personal spiritual paths. The bridge between our everyday lives in the material world and spirituality isn't clear now. Much of this lack of clarity has to do with the battle between right and wrong according to so many different systems of belief that put pressure on us to conform to what we are told to believe.
Finding new ways that don't depend on the hard coded dogma of an institution will likely resonate with us more than ever now. We are growing up.
COMET PAN-STARRS STREAKING CLOSER TO EARTH. NOW VISIBLE IN NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
Did you know we have New Feature Updates that showcases many new updates like this on our homepage?
To feel spiritual now, a more personally relevant approach to life will help you see spirituality infused in the material world. Projecting your own way of magical thinking into the world and connecting to arts, architecture, flowers and nature that speaks to your soul will bring you in tune with spirit. Entering the realm of spirit through meditation will take you further into personal connection with divinity than standing up and sitting down on cue in the pews will.
Spending time with the sun on your face, your eyes closed and a few deep breaths will be more enlightening than going through the motions in an institution. Pay attention to your daydreams and your dreams. The messages are deeply personal and significant for you now. Discuss dreams on the Symbolic Living Forum here.
Amethyst is a good stone to work with now.
ASTROLOGY AND EASTER: Easter Sunday (March 31) is always celebrated on the first Sunday after the first Full Moon (March 27) after the Spring Equinox (March 20).
It's a pivotal time to reconsider trusting your internal, personal, intuitive connection to spirituality, rather than having an established organization dictate your spiritual ideals, beliefs and the difference between right and wrong for you. If you believe something because of peer pressure, but it doesn't really resonate as true, you should rethink the situation.
Jupiter asks us to see the truth through challenging the status quo now. It is important to realize now that the truth is not monopolized by a formal institution to be accessed by you only through a mediator. The truth is within you. Your heart knows. Unfortunately, knowing the truth is present within the creation of the universe itself is often forgotten. The astrological climate now implores us to realize we are not dependent on someone else telling us what to think and believe. A personal relationship with spirit is where the truth is. The answers are within you. Being a manifestation of the divine universe, the code of the Divine is within your DNA, in your soul, in the natural world, and the universe.
Saturn is retrograde now, since February 18th. It's an important time to consider our financial borrowing habits and debt in the light of living a more spiritual life. How are your debts, and financial karmic choices holding you back from living a more spiritual, authentic life? It's a very good time to look over your budget and think of how you want to transform your relationship to finances.
As mentioned, Trust is a major issue now with corruption in so many major institutions. This includes religious, governmental and financial institutions. Accountability is becoming more of a focal point in our society. People don't have the trust they once had, and this is pivotal in our understanding how to transform into a more responsible society as a whole. Audits are frequently revealing that the
Finding your personal truth and reaching towards the light will bring you closer to a meaningful, spiritual life. Enjoy the Sun and renew your spiritual journey.

Information is power, and truth is the vehicle to empowerment. Biblical truth is like a Hummer that can simply roll over anything that stands in its way as opposition.
Lately, more than ever, I seem to be extremely concerned by the thought that there are still so many people in this world who are being deceived by men on the most trivial issues.
It stands to reason that if they are deceived that easily by mere mortals, then they'll be no match for the Antichrist when he shows up with all his "signs and lying wonders" (2 THESSALONIANS 2:9).
This is what motivates me to continue to expose all the evil schemes that exist in this world, but particularly as they exist in various forms of entertainment and symbols found in pop culture. If we can learn to look at everything in the world around us with a discerning eye, and through a prophetic lens that's consistent with a Biblical worldview, then maybe we'll be better prepared when the Great Deception greets us with open arms.
My heart aches at the thought of the deceived elect!
MARK 13:22 (KJV) "For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, IF IT WERE POSSIBLE, even the elect." (emphasis mine)
MATTHEW 24:24 (KJV) "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, IF IT WERE POSSIBLE, they shall deceive the very elect. "(emphasis mine)
One important note though is that the elect will be deceived by the coming Antichrist ONLY "if it were possible" for that to happen. Maybe it's only possible if we do nothing now to learn how to protect ourselves. Yes, this invariably means learning how to put on our spiritual armor and how to wield our spiritual weapons of war, but what if it also meant learning how to spot the "signs and wonders" that will be used - are being used - against us (like all this occult symbolism that intends to infect our hearts and minds) so that you can be on guard against such things?
So, we arrive at the next study in a series that seeks to put certain individuals on our prophetic radar. Just in case. A recent political cartoon in "The Buffalo News" brilliantly captured the sentiments shared by most Christians (and secularists too I think) following the events of the past few days:
That cartoon also made me recall a 2-part study I wrote way back in December 2008 (almost a full year ago) regarding our common view of the coming Antichrist, and this notion of the current U.S. President "possibly" fulfilling that infamous role. Specifically, it had to do with whether or not the Antichrist will rise to power "by peace" and a peace treaty of some sort (as is commonly believed), or "by war":
The Antichrist's Checkmate (PART 1)
The Antichrist's Checkmate (PART 2)
I went back and re-read those articles written at a time when I was still getting my feet wet (spiritually speaking). We might want to revisit that again in light of the current debate as to whether or not President Barack Obama is fulfilling ancient end times prophecies, or if he's merely a forerunner clearing a path for the genuine article - the real deal - who will arrive to deceive even the elect.
Central to that initial study was the Septuagint version of the Old Testament. What are your thoughts on the Septuagint? Does it have any merit? If so, why do you feel that way? If not, why not? If it's the former, then we better start re-thinking our stance on the subject for obvious reasons.
At the same time, we need to always temper this kind of discussion with prayerful consideration. For all we know, the man who announced that President Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize - THORBJOERN JAGLAND - could be that vile Man of Sin spoken of in the Scriptures. Don't laugh.
What's that? You don't know anything about that man or even remember his name from last week Friday? That's ok. He's a relatively "obscure" European politician to us Americans (nothing prophetically significant about that now is there?) who just happened to "make himself known to the rest of the world publicly for the first time via this announcement" (he was shown on practically every television news broadcast that day) only a few days after taking on an important and powerful new role that could definitely have a global impact. Oh yeah, this also happened at the same time as NASA's Moon mission that definitely exhibited some strong occult mega-ritual symbolism.
At least there was ONE JOURNALIST who felt the need to do some research on this man:
Who is Thorbjorn Jagland? Here's an excerpt:
From 1999 through 2008, Jagland was vice president of Socialist International. What's that? It's exactly what the name suggests - an international organization of socialist groups who advocate for far left policies. It also boasts of "consultative status" with the United Nations.
Its "STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES" calls for "the internationalisation of the economy" and all sort of other socialist boilerplate. It also rejects the notion of "armed peace" between superpowers, and wants Europe to play a lead role in basically disarming everyone.
Socialist International has member organizations from most countries, including one from the United States, "DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS OF AMERICA", which touts its vision of what it calls an "alternative to capitalism." Its newsletter, The Activist, is filled with articles that sing the praises of folks like Karl Marx and the late socialist radical Michael Harrington.
Jagland also serves as chairman of the board of the Oslo Center, which pursues Jimmy Carter-like interventions into conflicts and tries to mediate peace talks (in fact, the Oslo Center and the Carter Center work together).
This does not necessarily prove that President Obama is a socialist. Indeed, the aforementioned Democratic Socialists of America lament on their web site that he is not one of them, and express no end of their frustration in this regard.
But what it does show is the agenda of the people who chose Obama for the Nobel Peace Prize, not to mention the fact that, for whatever reason, they see tremendous hope in him and in what they expect him to do.
The following 8-minute interview that Geir Lundestad (Secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee) gave clearly states what some of those expectations might be:
INTERVIEW ABOUT THE 2009 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
SECRETARY-GENERAL OF THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE on October 1, 2009 for a 5-year term. The Council of Europe has the longest history of all the existing European cooperation organizations (it just celebrated its 60th anniversary), and it is one of the most important inter-governmental organizations in Europe today. It's made up of 47 member countries and 800 million European citizens. That's a pretty lofty position and job description for Jagland despite his impressive Resume - and he was elected to fill this vacancy after much controversy too, not to mention only a mere one week prior to the Nobel Peace Prize announcement. Interesting timing, no? More on that in a moment.
One can only guess as to the kind of power he will have in managing the EU'S INTERNATIONAL MILITARY POLICE FORCE (EGF). Yep, that's right, the EU has a fully functioning "international "force of trained soldiers.
This is from the WISE UP JOURNAL:
Don't worry about French UN troops, Spanish UN troops, Romanian UN troops or any other UN troops being used to quell rebellions in western nations due to bank bailouts or any other unpopular or corrupt acts by government. Not when you have the international military police force at the hands of the EU. Never heard of it? Read below.
The EU's military police force can be deployed to squash public disobedience making sure the the status quo - otherwise called "public order" - is maintained keeping the public in order for it's managers.
That's right folks. This is the kind of thing that makes you wonder if that whole HARDIN, MONTANA AMERICAN POLICE FORCE (APF) BUSINESS is nothing compared to the kind of power the EGF can administer on a global playing field. The following is official text from the EUROPEAN GENDARMERIE FORCE:
The European Gendarmerie Force (EGF) is an initiative of 5 EU Member States - France, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal and Spain - aimed at improving the crisis management capability in sensitive areas. Since Wednesday, 17th December 2008, the High Level Interdepartmental Committee Meeting (CIMIN) decided to welcome the Romanian Gendarmerie to become a full member of the EGF. Therefore the EGF consists from that moment of 6 member states.
EGF responds to the need to RAPIDLY CONDUCT ALL THE SPECTRUM OF CIVIL SECURITY ACTIONS, EITHER ON ITS OWN OR IN PARALLEL WITH THE MILITARY INTERVENTION, by providing a multinational and effective tool.
The EGF will facilitate the handling of crisis that require management by police forces, usually in a critical situation
Based in Vicenza in the 'Generale Chinotto' barracks
EGF goal is to provide the INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY with a valid and operational instrument for crisis management, first and foremost AT DISPOSAL OF EU, BUT ALSO OF OTHER INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, AS NATO, UN AND OSCE, AND AD HOC COALITIONS.
Turkey joins European Gendarmerie force as Observer
Partners Military Gendarmerie (Poland)
The following text was taken from the EUROPEAN GENDARMERIE FORCE'S FAQ PAGE:
[EGF] is capable to be integrated in a military crisis management tool
[EGF] is able and willing to perform all kinds of police missions, in both substitution and strengthening missions;
[EGF] is designed to be committed rapidly thanks to its permanent HQ and its logistic unit.
Furthermore, it is excellently suitable for deployment PARALLEL with or immediately after a MILITARY OPERATION TO MAINTAIN PUBLIC ORDER AND SAFETY as well as in SITUATIONS WHERE LOCAL POLICE SERVICES ARE NOT (SUFFICIENTLY) DEPLOYED.
In case of an operation involving BOTH MILITARY AND POLICE COMPONENTS, the EU's action on Petersburg-tasks requires a STRONG SYNERGY BETWEEN THE POLICE AND MILITARY components.
Of course, no mention of any of that in any of those "Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize" news reports. No, instead we're simply treated to an image of this smiling, friendly looking man who works for the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, and who really likes our President Barack Obama.
Excuse me, but let's just put on our tinfoil hats for a moment and take a stroll down "What If? Lane" to consider one avenue of thought here. This is PURE SPECULATION on my part. Let's assume for just a minute that this is the man (Jagland) who will eventually rule as the prophesied Antichrist - not Obama. If so, isn't that how the Subtle Serpent would work?
First, the Subtle Serpent would perform a little NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) on the largely unsuspecting masses by introducing "this man Jagland and his image" to the world (via this photo that accompanied just about "every story" on Obama's award that day) on such a grand scale publicly for the first time. After all, the news of Obama being the recipient had nations around the globe buzzing, and not just the United States. It truly was a mass introduction to Jagland even if Jagland wasn't front and center (meaning that the story wasn't about him, but Obama as the main focal point).
Second, the Subtle Serpent would mock us even in the midst of his own Great Deception. Assuming we're still in this fantasy "What If?" world for a moment, just think of the callous, sinister symbolism inherent in that image of the "potentially real" Antichrist (Jagland) smiling while holding up the picture of the man that more and more people are starting to think is the prophesied Antichrist instead! What a cunning deception carried out by the Subtle Serpent while he laughs at all those Christians who think they're "tuned in" to the real man to be concerned about prophetically speaking.
Surely, such moves as explained above would fit with all of Satan's characteristics, would they not? Look, my point in writing all of this today is two fold.
Mainly, I want to demonstrate how careful we as the Body of Christ need to be whenever we play Pin-The-Tail-On-The-Antichrist because there will "always" be people who emerge on a regular basis who exhibit something that catches our discerning eye, but if we're not careful (and if we don't take everything under prayerful consideration always), then we run the risk of inadvertently perpetuating the Cry Wolf Syndrome, and our excessive (and sometimes ridiculous) warnings will fall on deaf ears even when the real deal shows up. Still, we must continue to warn about what it is we notice that we think "could be" important. It's the essence of being a Watchmen.
I also wanted to call attention to the man who made the stunning announcement on Friday, and whose face was plastered on almost every TV screen I saw that day, not to mention every news article I read too. He's a political newcomer thrust into a powerful position in Europe with a full five years to do as he sees fit in leading Europe and shaping the world to his liking. With everything else we've been witnessing firsthand that is prophetically relevant he bears watching as well.

Belz 1
"Sidhe Moon of Shabbat Belz Machar Chodesh"
BLACK FIRE ATOP WHITE FIRE
one of my "Walking On Fire" avatars at LiveJournal
I came home yesterday from work to find that I had finally received the new book in the mail that I had ordered a few weeks ago - "The Sidhe, Wisdom From The Celtic Otherworld". I had been waiting for the book on AES S'iDHE (pronounced 'ess shee') to arrive for an unusually extended period of time and had been considering contacting the A Sidhe Moon, also called the Other Moon, is the uncommon phenomenon of two Black Moons occurring in one solar month. The second Black Moon in such a month is called the Sidhe or Fairy Moon. This rare lunar event occurs today, in the year of 2008/5768, on shabbat (weekly Jewish sabbath) of the Torah portion "Re'eh" (meaning 'see'), on the first day of the Witch's month of "Belz "(Days of Fire), and on the penultimate day of the Hebrew month of "Av" (Days of the Young Shoot/bud).
TORAH OF THE SIDHE - BLACK FIRE ATOP WHITE FIRE
The first letter of the Hebrew alphabet is aleph (). The penultimate letter of the Hebrew alphabet is shin (). Together, the letters aleph-shin spell the Hebrew word "esh" () meaning 'fire'. The period of time corresponding to the Witch's month of "Belz" is, as written above, called 'Days of Fire'.
White Fire corresponds to the two Hebrew letters of the word "esh", meaning 'fire', symbolizing the mutable Light of Awareness. Black Fire corresponds to the dark Sidhe Moon of the month of Belz, the Days of Fire, and to the immutable note of a Dark Essence Ancient of Days brought forth through the Old Forest Craft of this shamanic Jewitch. Interestingly, the Sidhe teach of the unique note each creature and species contribute to the exquisite song of All Being within the pages of the book I received yesterday afternoon.
The Sidhe Moon is an element from the Teaching of Green Witchcraft. Interwoven with this teaching of Green Witchcraft is a teaching of Torah.
Torah is also a Teaching Tradition (like Green Witchcraft) which describes the Blueprint of Creation and is itself described in the Midrash (Jewish mythology) as "black fire atop white fire" (Sifrei, on Deuteronomy 33:3).
Integrating all these ideas simply and wholly, we can "see" that not only is there Wisdom among the Sidhe, we can "see" that there is Torah among the Sidhe as well. Equally important, just as tzaddikim may have Da'at Torah (integral knowledge of mystical-magical Law-Teaching), so too may witches have Da'at Torah.
And so begins my relationship this shabbat with the Sidhe, with black fire atop white fire.

ETA AQUARIDS METEOR SHOWER:
Mystical Associations: To the ancient Celts the willow was the Tree of Enchantment and Mysteries, a feminine tree that was ruled by the moon, with a great influence over the vision-producing subconscious. Being in the company of willows was believed to promote and increase psychic and intuitive powers, making dreams more vivid and more open to interpretation. Groves of willows were
considered so magical that poets, musicians, priests and priestesses would meditate within them to enhance their visionary skills and to gain inspiration and clarity of the mind. This practice of exploring inner worlds in sacred groves was known to the Celts as gaining Tree-top Inspiration. The willow was associated in many other cultures with poetic and visionary skills.
Many ancient goddesses are associated with willows. Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, had a sacred willow grove. The Greek sorceress Circe (a favorite of mine) had a riverside cemetery planted with willows that was dedicated to Hecate and her moon magick. Hecate, most powerful goddess of willow and water, presided over the magick of the dark side of the moon. Hecate taught sorcery and witchcraft and haunted crossroads and tombs. The ancient Sumerian goddess, Belili, presided over all trees and willows in particular, as well as the moon, love and the Underworld. Her willow god consort was called Bel. Bel became honored by European Celts as the Sun god Belin, Lord of Life and Death.
Great fires were lit in his honor at Beltane, on April 30th and May 1st. These celebrations were once
sacred primarily to the moon goddess and her watery willow magick, but as patriarchal sun-god worship ousted the more ancient matriarchal order, so the emphasis shifted away from the mysterious feminine energies of water and the moon toward the more direct masculine approach of fire and the sun. Wells and springs are also honored at the traditional fire and water ceremony at Beltane, which is the second of the four Cross-Quarter Days in the witches' calendar.
The goddess Anatha had a willow cult in Jerusalem until Jehovah's priests ousted her and claimed the willow as Jehovah's tree at the Hebrew Feast of Tabernacles - a fire and water ceremony that to this day is still known as the Day of the Willows. In Britain, sprays of Goat Willows covered with golden catkins were customarily carried to Christian churches at Easter on Palm Sunday, in remembrance of the branches of palm strewn before Jesus as he entered Jerusalem. This is why the Goat Willow is known as the "Palm Willow" or Pussy Palm.
The Willow reminded ancient peoples of the White Goddess in all three of Her aspects, lithe and supple like the virgin, fertile and prolific; like the mother, and wizened and hoary like the crone. They were encouraged to recognize in themselves the whole range of emotions, from love and joy, to jealousy and hatred. With its roots deep in the waters of the subconscious and the emotions, the willow is the sacred tree of the visionary goddess, queen of the world of dreams and intuition, of prophecy and psychic powers.

I am exceptionally proud of my kids. What mother isn't? Both have been through so much in their young lives, both have been seriously ill and still continue to grab life by the ears and shout in it's face.
My eldest, Amy, as been battling with a condition called HSP (Henoch-Schonlein purpura) since she was 8 years old and has nearly died a couple of times from it. When she gets a virus such as a throat infection, her HSP kicks in and it makes her very ill. She bleeds internally into her bone joints and has twice bled into her stomach. Although it is a mainly a children's illness, at 14 she should have grown out of it, but alas no and now she seeming to be getting ill quicker and quicker each time. This is why I am going grey early! lol The photo accompanying this blog post is the rash that HSP comes up with. It's not nice - Amy has had it like this 3 times and the pain is excruciating.
After a week of being poorly and her feeling quite sad about it, she sat down today and wrote a 'Letter to the Universe' and added it to Facebook for the world to see. Today she took a stand against the bullies at school, against people in her life who want it all in their terms and most importantly, against her illness. This is what she wrote:
"AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, I'VE BEEN ILL THIS LAST WEEK, AND WAS ILL 7 WEEKS AGO - BOTH TIMES WITH TONSILLITIS. MOST OF YOU KNOW, I HAVE HSP (IF YOU DON'T KNOW HERE'S WHAT IT IS - HTTP://WWW.DRGREENE.COM/QA-ARTICLES/HENOCH-SCHONLEIN-PURPURA/). UNFORTUNATELY ANY TYPE OF INFECTIONS, SUCH AS TONSILLITIS, CAN CAUSE IT TO FLARE UP. THIS HAPPENED BOTH TIMES WITH ME, SO INSTEAD OF SIMPLY TRYING TO FIGHT OFF A THROAT INFECTION, I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH MY HSP FLARING UP AS WELL. WHEN SUFFERING WITH HSP, AN ADULT IS SAID TO BE ANYONE OVER THE AGE OF 12, AND THIS IS WHEN THINGS CAN GET VERY DANGEROUS, AND CAN BE FATAL. SINCE I'VE BEEN GETTING ILL MORE FREQUENT, I'VE REALISED THAT I CANNOT WASTE ANY MORE TIME. SO TO ANYONE WHO IS LISTENING, INCLUDING THE UNIVERSE, I AM NOT GOING TO WASTE TIME AND I AM GOING TO DO THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO DO. THIS INCLUDES FINALLY PASSING MY SINGING EXAM WHICH WAS MEANT TO BE TODAY. THIS INCLUDES PASSING ALL MY OTHER EXAMS WITH GREAT MARKS (A/A* WOULD BE NICE!) I WILL FINALLY STAND UP FOR MYSELF TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO CONTROL ME OR TRY AND PUT ME DOWN. I WILL NOT HIDE WHO I AM - I AM DIFFERENT AND VERY PROUD OF IT. I WILL ACHIEVE ANYTHING IN LIFE THAT I WANT, AND I WILL BE ANYTHING THAT I WANT TO BE. SO I WILL BECOME A TEACHER AND TRAIN EVEN MORE DOWN THE SPECIALIST ROUTES OF EITHER FORENSIC SCIENCE OR ASTROPHYSICS. I WILL HAVE A FAMILY AND BE A GOOD MUM. I WILL NOT SUBMIT TO EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL ANYMORE. I WILL NOT LET PEOPLE PLAY MIND GAMES WITH ME. I WILL NO LONGER LET PEOPLE PHYSICALLY OR MENTALLY BULLY ME. "
"I AM A WITCH. I AM GINGER. I AM FEMALE. I AM A FREAK OR A WEIRDO. I AM POSH. I AM TOO SENSITIVE. "I AM ALL THOSE THINGS - BUT I'M STRONG AND I AM AMY. I AM NOT WEIRD - I'M JUST LIMITED EDITION. "SO THIS IS WHAT I WILL DO. I WILL OVERCOME HSP ONE DAY, AND OVERCOME ANYONE WHO WANTS TO PUT OBSTACLES IN MY WAY. I CAN OVERCOME ANYTHING, AND IF I CAN DO SOMETHING - I WILL DO SOMETHING. AND IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND THINKING THAT IT IS ABOUT YOUTHEN IT MOST LIKELY IS."
I am always proud of my girls, but tonight, I am *extra* proud
