With a wonderful exhibition called Journey Through the Afterlife: Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead just having begun at the British Museum, I thought I'd choose an image of Egypt for my Pagan Eye post this week.
Here is a picture of sunset over the Nile, which I took while I was on holiday in Egypt several years ago. The photo was taken from a boat on the Nile. I think the silhouetted buildings you can see on the river bank are in Cairo, but I might be misremembering. If you recognise the view, do

A Mitologia de V^enus
(POR GRAcA CARVALHO - ASTR'oLOGA)
V^eNUS NASCEU ADULTA, BELA, EXUBERANTE, COMO 'e O AMOR. NASCEU DO S^eMEN DE URANO (O C'eU), CA'iDO NA ESPUMA DO MAR, OU NUMA CONCHA DE OSTRA, QUANDO URANO AFASTAVA-SE GRITANDO DE DOR AO SER CASTRADO POR SEU FILHO SATURNO.
'E QUE GAIA - A TERRA - N~aO SUPORTAVA MAIS O TERR'iVEL DESTINO IMPOSTO POR SEU MARIDO, O C'eU, DE DEVOLVER AO SEU VENTRE CADA FILHO QUE NASCIA. E NASCERAM MUITOS. GAIA, ENT~aO, MERGULHOU DENTRO DELA MESMA E CONVOCOU OS FILHOS PARA MATAR URANO. APENAS SATURNO, SEU FILHO CAcULA, OUSOU TAMANHA FAcANHA.
FOI ENT~aO RETIRADO DAS TREVAS, DO SEIO DE GAIA E PELA PRIMEIRA VEZ VISLUMBROU O C'eU. REFLETIU: CONCLUIU QUE ESTAVA DIANTE DE ALGO IMORTAL, ABSOLUTAMENTE PERFEITO. REFLETIU MAIS UMA VEZ E PERCEBEU QUE A 'uNICA MANEIRA DE CUMPRIR COM O QUE HOUVERA PROMETIDO `a SUA M~aE, ERA CASTRAR URANO, A 'uNICA POSSIBILIDADE DE APROXIMAc~aO QUE ELE VIU COM SEU PAI. E ASSIM FOI FEITO. URANO RETIROU-SE NUM GRITO DE DOR, SEU S^eMEN CAIU NO MAR E GEROU O AMOR.
LOGO V^eNUS N~aO 'e FILHA DO C'eU E DA TERRA. V^eNUS A DEUSA DO AMOR, DA BELEZA, DA TERNURA, DA SENSUALIDADE, 'e FILHA DAS 'aGUAS COM O C'eU. DO ELEMENTO 'aGUA COM O AR. E NADA MAIS RAREFEITO DO QUE O AMOR, O SENTIMENTO, A EMOc~aO, O PRAZER.A COMPETIc~aO E O CONFLITO PARECEM SER INGREDIENTES INSEPAR'aVEIS DO AMOR, PELO MENOS O AMOR DOS CINCO SENTIDOS RELACIONADO A V^eNUS.
CONTA O MITO QUE, NUM TEMPO SEM TEMPO, UM GRANDE CASAMENTO ACONTECEU NO OLIMPO, TODOS OS DEUSES COMPARECERAM, APENAS UMA DEUSA, 'ERIS, N~aO FOI CONVIDADA. MESMO SEM SER CONVIDADA, 'ERIS CHEGOU `a FESTA, NA HORA EXATA QUANDO TODOS OS CONVIDADOS SENTAVAM-SE A MESA PARA SABOREAR O BANQUETE DOS DEUSES.
Nesse momento, 'Eris fez sua vinganca pela desconsiderac~ao. Atirou uma mac~a de ouro onde estava gravada a frase 'para a mais bela'. Logo as tr^es mais belas deusas reivindicaram para si a mac~a. As deusas Palas Athena, Juno e V^enus.
Para decidir t~ao grave impasse, apelaram para J'upiter. Ele recusou participar de tal disputa e indicou um mortal que sabia apreciar as mulheres bonitas. Ent~ao, o pastor, mortal e pr'incipe de Tr'oia, P'aris, foi o escolhido. Cada uma das tr^es deusas, ao se ver sozinha com seu juiz, tentou suborn'a-lo:
JUNO OFERECEU-LHE PODER E RIQUEZA.
PALAS ATHENA PROMETEU-LHE VIT'oRIA EM TODAS AS BATALHAS.
V^enus ofereceu-lhe a mais bela das mortais se este lhe concedesse a mac~a de ouro.
Claro que V^enus foi a vencedora. P'aris ent~ao exigiu o cumprimento da promessa e correu a raptar Helena, a esposa de Menelau, rei grego e considerada a mulher mais bela do mundo. Este ato deu in'icio a guerra entre gregos e troianos que durou dez anos e terminou com a destruic~ao de Tr'oia. Os acontecimentos gerados pela decis~ao de P'aris foram imortalizados na Il'iada, Odiss'eia e Eneida, e nas trag'edias de 'Esquilo, S'ofocles e Eur'ipides.
PODEMOS TIRAR ALGUMAS BOAS CONCLUS~oES DESSE MITO. ELE NOS FALA DE NOSSOS CONFLITOS INTERIORES: SER A MAIS SENSUAL, A MAIS PODEROSA A MAIS INTELIGENTE, S~aO ELEMENTOS QUE PERTENCEM A CADA UMA DAS DEUSAS QUE DISPUTARAM A POSSE DA MAc~a DE OURO. QUAL DELAS MERECE O T'iTULO? QUAL O SEU CONFLITO INTERIOR? A QUEM VOC^e VAI DETERMINAR O DIREITO DE DECIDIR? ALGU'eM DE FORA? OU VOC^e MESMA BUSCAR'a SUA RESPOSTA? COMO ESSE MITO LHE TOCA? ESCREVA SOBRE ELE.
V^eNUS, NA ASTROLOGIA, REPRESENTA O PRAZER, A SATISFAc~aO, A AUTO-ESTIMA. QUANDO N~aO ESTAMOS SATISFEITOS, N~aO ATINGIMOS UM ESTADO SAUD'aVEL DE AMOR PR'oPRIO,O QUE IMPOSSIBILITA QUE AS OUTRAS PESSOAS TAMB'eM POSSAM NOS AMAR E RESPEITAR. V^eNUS 'e O ESPELHO DA NOSSA PR'oPRIA ALMA: O QUE AMAMOS E ACHAMOS BONITO 'e O QUE H'a DE MAIS BELO E VALIOSO EM N'oS MESMOS. V^eNUS 'e TAMB'eM O PRINC'iPIO DA UNI~aO E FERTILIZAc~aO, J'a QUE O ENVOLVIMENTO E A ENTREGA AMOROSA CERTAMENTE RESULTAM NUM PROCESSO DE CRIATIVIDADE.
V^eNUS ANADIOMENA
A V^enus que sai do mar, a que se levanta das 'aguas. 'E o n'ivel da sensibilidade, acima das emoc~oes. O amor supera o emocional, o passional, as 'aguas inferiores para buscar uma relac~ao mais bonita. A express~ao da sensibilidade n~ao se d'a somente nas relac~oes afetivas. Atrav'es da arte voc^e transfigura.
`A SOMBRA DAS ARAUC'aRIAS (POESIA DE V^eNUS ANADIOMENA)
(Manuel Bandeira)
N~ao aprofundes o teu t'edio.
N~ao te entregues `a m'agoa v~a.
O pr'oprio tempo 'e o bom rem'edio:
Bebe a del'icia da manh~a.
A n'evoa errante se enovela
Na folhagem das arauc'arias.
H'a um suave encanto nela
Que enleia as almas solit'arias...
As cousas t^em aspectos mansos.
Um ap'os outro, a bambolear,
Passam, caminhos d'agua, os gansos.
V~ao atentos, como a cismar...
No verde, `a beira das estradas,
Maliciosas em tentac~ao,
Riem amoras orvalhadas.
Colhe-as: basta estender a m~ao.
Ah! Fosse tudo assim na vida!
Sus, n~ao cedas `a v~a fraqueza...
Que adianta a queixa repetida?
Goza o painel da natureza.
Cria, e ter'as com que exaltar-te
No mais nobre e maior prazer.
A afeicoar teu sonho de arte
Sentir-te-'as convalescer.
A arte 'e uma fada que transmuta
E transfigura o mau destino.
Prova. Olha. Toca. Cheira. Escuta.

La vela negra no es negativa en si misma, peso su funci'on es remover la energ'ia negativa que tenemos en nuestro entorno y si no sabemos elevarla, se quedara en nuestro ambiente y despu'es las cosas no funcionaran como quisi'eramos. Para que esto no ocurra utilizaremos una vela blanca junto con la vela negra. "SIEMPRE UNA VELA NEGRA JUNTO CON UNA VELA BLANCA".

Elimina el mal, aplaca las personas alteradas, maldad, perdida, discordia y confianza. Se utiliza tambi'en en la limpieza de viviendas y locales en los cuales se intuye que puede existir energ'ia negativa, ya que nos ayudara a descargar la negatividad. Nos ayuda a saber si a alguna persona se le ha realizado un ritual, de negatividad, amarre o cualquier cosa que haga que la persona no se encuentre bien.

Hi Henry
Just had my first contact from my "article" on The Tap - A nasty voodoo attack... gentleman been suffering for years... all cleared for him
Thank you so much for what you are doing... just cleared you too, let me know if you feel any different...
Love and Light to you
Dudley
TAP - feeling better this evening, Dudley! I've been to my earth energy fix point today as well, and felt a good surge in the back of my head. I was concerned to see that they're concreting over the strongest points I use, although there are other points that are useable nearby still just grass and earth. POST
Thank you for your patience, I will give you some background as to how and why I am doing what I am now doing !
Up to approx five years ago, I was totally in the material world and for many years was the MD of my own photocopier company, Concorde Copiers, based in Exeter. I was perfectly happy with this and indeed rude and quite cynical re anything to do with spiritualism or psychic work of any kind... when I suddenly got my " wake up " call to the spiritual side of who we really are.
Believe me, I was not an easy convert... my story makes a good lecture if you ever want me as a speaker... and I did my absolute best to avoid what was coming at me and carry on selling copiers. Then I started to have experiences which the logical brain could not explain... they had to be psychic, and this persuaded me to start investigating what was coming at me, although I was still finding it all very hard to believe.
I began seeing a lady who I had already been " coincidentally " introduced to... when you begin to see the bigger picture you quickly realise that there is actually no such thing as a coincidence. She is a very gifted psychic and spiritual healer, and she started to explain what I was experiencing and gradually it began to make sense.
I still had " world war three " going on in my head for a while... logical brain v the intuitive... but as more knowledge and experiences came my way, I accepted that what seemed ridiculous was actually correct... that we ARE spiritual beings having a human experience ( in fact many human experiences, given that reincarnation is key to all this ) rather than human beings with a bit of vague spirit around us somewhere !
Having accepted this... I was off ! Experience followed experience and then I became aware of the fact that I had the power and spiritual connections to begin to tackle those who are foolish and misguided enough to work with dark energy, black magic, voodoo, etc, which can be very damaging if not dealt with.
Approx a year ago I came away from Concorde to revitalise an ailing spiritual centre known as Evolution in Exeter... which is now really vibrant again. Facebook EVOLUTIONEXETER.. www.evolutionexeter.com and apart from other spiritual activities, now spend a great deal of my time clearing people / groups of people / buildings, etc of dark energy, in many countries around the world, and where appropriate, neutralising ( using energy ) the people responsible, so they cannot do it again.
So why have I been drawn to contact you ?
You are doing a great job attacking what I refer to as the " World Management Team " The Masonic / Catholic club currently running the globe for their own benefit, and a standard procedure on their part is to aim spells / curses, etc at you as you come to their notice. This can affect any aspect of what you do... health of you and / or your team or supporters / connections, phone lines, computer equipment, etc and needs to be dealt with to keep you free of these energies so you can work against them at full capacity. So I am offering my services to you to first clear you ( there is some dark rubbish around you now ) and keep you clear in future.
It is vital that those of us who are prepared to stand... stand together... especially now, and things are changing fast as I think you knowI shall look forward to hearing your thoughts, perhaps we could meet sometime
Love and Light to you
DUDLEY
DUDLEY - I HOPE THE GOODWILL BROADCAST FROM PEOPLE SUCH AS YOURSELF IS OF EQUAL POWER TO THE NEGATIVE ONE FROM THE DARK SIDE. I WOULD LIKE TO MEET IN A MONTH OR TWO - WHEN I GET BACK TO THE UK. I HAVEN'T HAD EXACTLY SIMILAR TO THE EXPERIENCES YOU DESCRIBE, YET I HAD DINNER LAST WEEK WITH A GENTLEMAN JUST LAST WEEK WHO WAS SAYING VERY SIMILAR THINGS, AND HAD HIS LIFE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN BY A VISITATION. NOW WE KNOW WHY JULIA GETS SO MUCH UNEXPLAINED TROUBLE WITH HER COMPUTER EQUIPMENT. WASP too.
Henry
From the above website -
OVER THE LAST CENTURY SCIENTISTS HAVE INCREASINGLY BECOME EXCITED ABOUT THE THEORIES OF QUANTUM MECHANICS. THE IDEA THAT EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE UNIVERSE, THAT A CHANGE IN A SINGLE ATOM ON EARTH MAY INSTANTANEOUSLY REQUIRE A CHANGE IN AN ATOM LIGHT YEARS AWAY OR EVEN RESULT IN A CHAIN OF EVENTS STRIKING THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE. WE INCREASINGLY ACCEPT THESE IDEAS JUST AS WE ACCEPT THAT IF WE POST AN ENTRY ON OUR COMPUTER IT CAN BE SIMULTANEOUSLY READ BY SOMEONE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD.
IN TRUTH..
we are only now learning what those who believe in the spiritual web of energy have known for thousands of years. We are all connected, a web of energy and effect binds us and we can affect others who we have never met or who have passed on. It is this energy field which drew Dudley into his spiritual journey and which now weaves itself throughout his life.Call them ghosts, call them spirits, poltergeists or a host of other names. When we pass on we can sometimes become stuck in the astral plane, unable to move into the light. Dudley works with these energies, showing them the way to be free. We've all met someone who has had such a run of bad luck that they might almost be cursed. Well in truth they might have been. Ill health, changed personality, bad luck, personal disasters could all be caused by a curse. Dudley works to lift the curse and protect people in the future as well as showing people how to shield themselves from harm. And just as we can communicate across the world on the web, so Dudley works in the web of energy shielding and helping people across the world. For more information and to hear about some real cases which Dudley has worked on pop in to see him or chat to him via his e-mail address or Facebook.

I have been working quite hard with the tarot over the last few months. I'm actually in the process of writing a book on my discoveries. I've been combining my work with Jason Miller's course. That is not to say his course has anything to do with my book and my book has nothing to do with his course.
The Aces of Disks and Cups have figured heavily in this. I am not going to reveal what I've used them for but I will say that once you understand the meaning behind those cards, a simple visualization can have a huge and nearly instant impact.
But like anything else involving magick there are residual issues. Unexpected things happen that should have been expected.
For instance, in working with the Ace of Disks, my office and house have become more organized and cleaner. My mental self is very grounded. I have paid my bills a week early. I've worked out a budget that should pay off my car very early etc.
The point is that when you immerse yourself in an element, other things will happen that are within that element's purview. In working out my budget, I realized something. I use a rewards type credit card. I pay off my bills mostly on time. So, my end of month balance is pretty low. Given the cash back policy, I actually made nearly 200 by using credit cards this year! Now financial gurus will tell you never to use cards because you spend more with plastic than you to with cash. They are right. Yet this is certainly better than paying them interest!
So why bring that up here? One, because I am damn impressed with myself for making a profit off a credit card company. Secondly, because this does reveal I'm not exactly foolish with money.
This applies here because I've created an internal environment that consists of a measure of fiscal discipline. So what happens if I use that internal environment as a base for magick? I don't have to create financial discipline. I do not have to create income. I simply have to increase discipline into certain areas to pay off that car. Why use internal psychological magick? Because I could have done this before. I knew I could have but I didn't. Magicking up a small change of focus shouldn't take much effort at all. The ground work has already been laid. Lucky ground work!
This is where a variety of models comes into play. Do I really need an external spirit to do this? Unlikely. A bit of internal psychological model "energy" magick should work just fine.

You can probably find them on the Web, or even in the phone book-I can't help you there.
But I can advise you to take your time picking one out. Allow me to front you a few guidelines.
1-If they're big on 'so mote it be'-pass.
2-If they're asking more in money or time or devotion than you're willing to invest-pass.
3-If males are considered lesser people within the group-pass.
4-If sex is a primary factor in their rituals-pass.
5-If they encourage you to take their word for it rather than explaining it-pass.
6-If the first thing they teach you is NOT limits-don't just pass, run like hell!
By the way, Wicca is not really witchcraft, and if it claims to be, it ain't really Wicca.
You want to be a Wiccan, an herbalist, a healer or a Crafter? n You need to make up your mind about that before you do anythiing.

Over the holidays I enjoyed reading Sylvia Browne's newest book "Secret Societies". For one who enjoyed the intrigue of "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels and Demons", this book added insight to many of the questions raised in the novels. Sylvia acknowledges author Dan Brown for the thoroughness of his research, therein clarifying that many of the theories presented in the
Three of the Societies mentioned in the book are of special interest. The first is the Skull and Crossbones, a prominent clandestine group of sorts that calls Yale University its home. Prominent members include both George W. Bush and John Kerry. Can you imagine those two sharing the "secret" handshake? Two other Societies of interest are the Freemasons and the Knights Templar, both which share histories back to biblical times.
The Freemasons were originally formed as a union to protect the job security rights of the stone masons during the period of the Roman Empire. As the influence of the Empire spread throughout Europe so did the influence of the Roman Catholic Church. And as Catholicism spread, so did the construction of many new cathedrals and churches.
The masons were employed to build the churches. Yet when construction could not keep pace with the ambitious schedule set forth by the Church, problems occurred. When the Church began to bring in additional masons from other countries to increase production, a standoff occurred. The newly formed union protected the territorial rights of the masons in this endeavor.
Today the Freemasons continue to exist worldwide as a fraternal organization with thousands of members. In the United States they're more commonly known as the Shriners.
The Knights Templar came into prominence during the Middle Ages and existed as a mighty military force for more than two centuries. Templar Knights with their distinctive white mantels and red crosses were among the best fighting forces of the Crusades.
What I found interesting about the Knights is the fact that they were the essentially the world's first bankers. Travelers would "bank" their cash with the Templar's before traveling throughout the countryside. Upon completion of their journey, they would redeem their chit on the other end for cash. Their success here eventually led them into the loan business where they became quite wealthy. Even Kings borrowed from the Templar's in times of need.
The Roman Catholic Church officially endorsed the Knights Templar and contributed greatly to their wealth. "Secret Societies" explain some of the theories as to how the Church contributed to their accumulated wealth.
By chance I caught a program recently on the "Discovery Channel "which highlighted much of the historical background of the Freemasons and Knights Templar. It was quite enlightening but did not include some of the explicit facts outlined in the book.
To agree with some of the statements or conclusions drawn by Sylvia you must first accept the concept of spirit guides. Sylvia Browne often quotes her spirit guide Francine as the source of some of the facts. Many of the conclusions stated are indeed controversial, but well worth consideration.
My wife and I have both studied the phenomena of spirit guides and the merits of their existence. It is all part of a bigger picture that is not only time
