There is a contagious psychospiritual disease of the soul, a parasite of the mind, that is currently being acted out en masse on the world stage via a collective psychosis of titanic proportions. This mind-virus-which Native Americans have called "wetiko"-covertly operates through the unconscious blind spots in the human psyche, rendering people oblivious to their own madness and compelling them to act against their own best interests.
Drawing on insights from Jungian psychology, shamanism, alchemy, spiritual wisdom traditions, and personal experience, author Paul Levy shows us that hidden within the venom of wetiko is its own antidote, which once recognized can help us wake up and bring sanity back to our society.
BIO
Born in 1956, Paul Levy grew up in Yonkers, New York. In the mid-seventies he went to college at what was then called the State University of New York at Binghamton (now called Binghamton University), receiving degrees in both economics and studio art. While an undergraduate at Binghamton, he was hired by Princeton University to do research in economics. When he graduated college, he stopped his studies in economics and pursued his career in art, moving out to the Bay Area, where he was both making, and teaching art.
In 1981, due to an intense personal trauma, he had a life-changing spiritual awakening in which he began to recognize the dreamlike nature of reality. During the first year of his spiritual emergence, Paul was hospitalized a number of times, and was told he was having a severe psychotic break from reality. Much to his surprise, he was diagnosed as having a chemical imbalance and was informed that he had manic-depressive (bi-polar) illness, and that he would have to live with his illness for the rest of his life. Little did the doctors realize, however, that he was taking part in a mystical awakening/shamanic initiation process, which at times mimicked psychosis but in actuality was a spiritual experience of a far different order, completely off the map of the psychiatric system.
Fortunately, he was able to extricate himself from the medical and psychiatric establishment so that he could continue his process of self-discovery. Thankfully, as Paul freed himself from the shackles of psychiatry, he found his spiritual teachers, who instead of seeing Paul as crazy, recognized that he was beginning to spiritually awaken. -veritasradio.com

Finding what works. If as the old song declares, "Loves makes the world go round"; then, no doubt, compatibility is a large thing! Large ample to make the world spend more than 469.5 million funds a year Wikipedia with numerous matchmaking services moving upwards on the tripling mark last year, alone. And, simply because human beings are naturally social creatures we absolutely are geared toward finding a mate. Finding a mate, however, isn't the key phrase, here. Finding the 'right' mate is.
Compatibility able to exist, live, or jobs together without having conflict according to Webster, does not adequately define the limits of genuine compatibility. Sharing the exact same bed in a gratifying manner takes awesome precedence! Experiencing true involuntary physical chemistry, as the variety one need for sexual intimacy to occur and stay thriving and invigorating dominates another needs in a gratifying union! In which does this sensually elicited thrilling energy occur from? The patterned configuration of clustered stars, exactly where else?
Because everything organic and inorganic, people, places, events, weather, plants, animals, air, food, water, universes, galaxies, etc. are intricately connected, absolutely nothing is exempt. Comprised of incalculably indestructible elements, minerals, nutrients, and gases; all fused cosmic particles star dust which by no means die but simply change form, and simply because we are we so sublimely constructed, we are affected, influenced and subjected towards inner combination's of these ultrasonic mixtures.
In other words, we are subconsciously celestially generated by many innate patterns of interacting combination's of stellar activity. Not in contrast to the variant combination's of patterns existing inside heavens over a precise moment in the hour we were born. These fixed starry blueprints contain a cosmic coded DNA antenna of types which precludes us to gravitate toward others who have similar interacting coded patterns that make for workable chemical relationships combination's.
It matters not regardless of whether a single agrees, supports, disagrees, denies or rebukes the premise of astrological compatibility; as within the case of the patterned cosmic formula of, H 2 O which combines to type water. By adhering towards specific properties of delegated comparable patterns in relationships, specific usable, workable and practical formations is also wrought.
Where human involvements are concerned, physical pleasure, sexual holds a key location in motivation. That's why it's named 'chemistry between the two.' Merely mentioned without having heading to the hard physics' mechanics of how and why polar opposites attract, Unity is obtained by and from the very first seeking pleasure avoiding pain theory. Regarding various astrological configurations, opposites is often a significant attracting instrument, as can squares, conjunctions, triunes and quincunx patterns also assign transmitting frequencies of magnetism to find compatible mates.
"Around the mulberry bush we go, to say so significantly and not to know". Even in the very best available cosmic tools put to use, one must investigate, research, learn and apply the interacting patterns of compatibility once the esoteric knowledge has been gained. Every one has the responsibility and opportunity to delve to the assorted interlocking patterns in regards to the a couple of ability mates, along with discovering unrevealed personality aspects. Everybody knows the a single who has the knowledge has the power. It's written in ancient texts: "...Above all else get thee wisdom..."
Further insight into 2 men and women can instill illuminating info which will open untold avenues of sacred sensual sexual artistic creative expression to tap into and apply. Successful, lasting, gratifying, evolving Relationships demand constant work, attention and interest. Unless the 2 are sincerely excited, eager and involved in evolving through a number of issues of latent unconscious restrictive material, possibly the relationship will stagnate, disintegrate and finally decompose.
In life, you will find no quick fixes. Inside the music business, there is a running joke concerning being range One having a bullet. No this sort of thing! Like dedicated musicians, we now have to often work at our crafts relationships. It begins with obtaining crucial knowledge.
The most fundamental craft a single could ever devote himself/herself to could be the committed discover of delving into why men and women are attracted to certain people. What motivates, inspires, generates and reasons individuals to perform what they do. Even much more so, what makes them desire 1 more than another and why others who appear 'perfect for every other' break apart without explanation or recourse. Practical, relative, informative, enlightening, pertinent, and sensually sustaining workable methods of satisfying results are going to be demonstrated if studied and applied. Relationships are inconsistent creatures at best. Any information that will be gained to offset contradictory messages in numerous involvements warrants extra investigation.
The intricately usually confusing contrary hard subject of astrology can be of excellent benefit must the individual be prepared to apply diligent practice. Like learning an instrument, it requires hours of continual learn for right understanding. But, what subject in life is worth more of the time, work and dedicated computer software than that of discovering why some relationships work and others don't? IF it's meant to be: why, how, when, where with whom?
It's particularly helpful in people occasions where we end in precarious situations wondering, "Why on earth am I involved with this person? Will it last? Or on a other side of the 'not so blissful union', can I ever leave? What am I supposed to learn?" And what about those unexamined, unexplained, indefinable inescapable unavoidable romantic liaisons of inexplicable relationships which are fated but not necessarily socially accepted? Needless to say, the resolutions usually do not come instantaneously.
However, taken one step at a time, the querent is able to follow along the path on the relationships inside the quite beginning regardless of whether at a novice, intermediate, or expert level from the most astounding relatable offered supplied esoteric information. From the very first article of serious study, a alter in consciousness occurs. A particular sacred appreciation for the significance of connecting of the 'right' mate will show itself immediately.
In order to prepare a delicious cake, it's really a magical procedure 1 need to gather together the 'right' ingredients, fill the properly oiled pans with the appropriately mixed batter, and then apply the correct amount of heat for a specific amount of time. With out either one of these vital steps, the cake are going to be ruined. So as well are relationships 'established and maintained', inside same scientific creative magical manner with diligence and patience.
With all of the readily very easily obtainable astrological data available, there is no excuse for at least looking to the matter. What do you have to lose except for mind and heart emotional turbulence, physical dissatisfaction including a nagging unrelenting stirring in the nudging you to glimpse into unexplored areas of possible uncharacteristic guidance? Not merely that, it is fun, entertaining and surprisingly accurate!

Herbal poultices, plasters, liniments, and ointments may be used by those suffering from both spiritual and physical afflictions. Poultices are generally supplied in the form of compressed dry ingredients to which water is added to make up a thick mixture that is applied to the skin. Commercially prepared herbal plasters are generally sold in flat sheets that stick to the body. Liniments are typically herb-empowered liquids that can be rubbed directly onto the afflicted part of the body. Ointments are stiff compounds of herbal ingredients, oils, and waxes that convey herbal ingredients to the skin and coat it with a protective or medicial layer of materials.
Workers who fashion their own poultices, plasters, liniments, and ointments often do hands-on healing work for their clients. In this fascinating intersection between magic and medicine we can see the double meaning in the term "ROOT DOCTOR."

1 - A message from the newly elected Diocesan Administrator:On Monday, I was elected by the Consultors of the Diocese of Austin to serve as Administrator during the interim before a new bishop is named. I am very grateful for the confidence and trust my brother priests have placed in me. I look forward to serving the diocese in this way.
We do not know when a new bishop will be named; however, the process may take six months to one year. I hope each one of us and every parish community will pray daily for the person who will be named by the Holy Father as the bishop of Austin.
In the meantime, let us work together for the greater honor and glory of God and to advance the mission of Jesus Christ in our diocese. I assure you of my prayers for the diocese and for each person, especially those who are sick or in need.
During this Year for Priests, let us remember to pray for priests so that we may be holy and be renewed in spirit.
I thank everyone that has called, e-mailed or sent congratulatory notes. I gratefully acknowledge your best wishes.
Msgr. Michael MulveyPlease keep Msgr. Mulvey in your prayers.
2 - The Matt Maher concert scheduled for this weekend at our neighboring parish, St. Thomas Aquinas, was cancelled because of an injury sustained by Matt Maher. Please keep him in your prayers.

Some time ago I ordered from my friend Kris's cool magical Etsy shop, Mrs. B.'s Brews and Baubles, a prosperity oil (because it's never too much to have it at home). To my surprise, the sweet witch added a couple of other products, that made my heart sing - some of my favorites there!
Okay, one at a time...
I used her prosperity oil this Waxing Moon (and OF COURSE, Lucas wanted to join me!). I regularly make this spell so I'm never completely broke, lol! This time I made one a bit more elaborated, meaning that it lasted the whole waxing moon phase, for my little witch's delight. The anointing oil has a subtle scent, always better for me, who can't stand any strong scents. It came in a cool little glass bottle and it will surely last long!
The other item was her Sleepy Time Bath Soak, made with lavender, chamomile and three different types of salts. Lately I've feeling restless at bedtime and can't properly relax to sleep fast, so it came in the best time.
Originally to be ued in a bathtube, it can be taken to showers too. I put a handful (there's a generous quantity for two batches) into an organza bag and hang it on the shower head, so the water would run through the bag, while I visualized negativity and stress being washed down my body, and out of the shower into the drain.
I can't tell how relaxing it was and how good was the scent - again, it was subtle and refreshing, and my shower time got to a higher level, really relaxing me enough to go sraight to bed and have a good night's sleep!
And there's her black salt, which I'm saving for my traditional Waning Moon's cleansing ritual. After using her other witchy stuff, I know it will be perfect to intensify the protection circle.
I highly recommend Mrs. B.'s shop if you're looking for made-with-care magickal products!
PS: I was not paid or even asked to do this "review", I did it freely just because I really loved the results!

THE ORIGIN by Jerome
There came a "thunderbolt" from the Heavens: The Light of God. This
"Ain Soph Aur" or Limitless Light began an outpouring of energy as would water pouring from a fountainhead. The energy formed the "Sephira", or circle, Kether as an essence of that light. From Kether the energy poured downward, creating and forming the Sephiras below, each level more manifest and dense than the ones above. Until, at the bottom, representing our physical reality, the Sephira Malkuth, or Kingdom, was completed. This is the symbolic creation of man. Christianity calls it the "Fall of Man" from Grace. It is now the purpose of "Man the Magickian" to retrace his steps and realign himself with the Godhead. This is the true meaning of religion. "Ligion", meaning to align. "Re-ligion" meaning we originally were aligned and now desire to return. ("...to arrive where we started/and know the place for the first time." - "Little Gidding" by T.S. Eliot)
The Tree of Life is a tool. When used properly it can guide us toward the realizing of God and the Light within. It is composed of ten Sephiras or circles, each representing a major aspect of Man. They are formed in three columns or Pillars.
The Pillar on the Left is the "Pillar of the Intellect".
The Left Pillar is composed of the Sephiras:
#8 Hod/Mercury,
#5 Geburah/Mars, and
#3 Binah/Saturn.
The Pillar on the Right is the "Pillar of the Emotions".
The Right Pillar is composed of the Sephiras:
#7 Netzach/Venus,
#4 Gedulah or Chesed/Jupiter, and
#2 Chokmah/Astral or Starry Plane.
The Center or Middle Pillar is the "Pillar of the Intuition" also known as the
Mystical Pillar. The Middle Pillar contains the Sephiras:
#10 Malkuth/Kingdom,
#9 Yesod/Moon,
#6 Tiphereth/Sun, and
#1 Kether/Crown.
Compare the numbers on the tree to know the names of each Sephira.
"To Know is to Act.
To Know and Not to Act, is Not to Know!"
The magickian knows one is to balance the energies within him/herself in order to "climb up the tree" ie: to return to GOD. Since each of the Sephira have a planetary representation, it is necessary to experience the nature of the planet (sephira) to realize and balance its energy.
Therefore, the magickian performs a ritual for each planet with this in mind.
He knows that to invoke the planetary energy he will learn to master its attributions. Monthly, I will offer a short article relating the relationship of the planet to the magickian.
LUNA TEXT
The first and most important practice when starting Ceremonial Magick is developing Self-Protection against psychic attack. Therefore, combining this practice with the ritual of Luna is basic to safe operations.
Luna is the first of the caballistic rituals performed. Luna is the point of awareness that an inner light exists. It is the point of initiation.
As the Moon reflects the light of the Sun, so Yesod reflects the inner light seen at Tiphereth. As it is a reflection, similar to seeing the light of the moon reflected on the surface of a still pond, it is a mirror image. The initiate is turned inside-out becoming aware of all internal organs and can learn to control bodily functions as: Blood Pressure, Breathing, and pulse rate. strange sense sensations bombard the psyche. It can appear to the initiate that he is going insane... Lunacy. Most often this illusion is apparent to others, occasionally to the initiate. After all, anyone watchin g a Ceremonial Magick ritual with "rational" eyes will be convinced the operator has gone crazy. Yet, these unusual impressions bombarding the initiate produce unusual brain changes, designed to focus the will upon the performance of ritual towards the attainment of spiritual growth.
FAREWELL TO ALL YOU LUNATICS FOR THIS MONTH!
To Go is Godly
Ire - Latin word meaning: To go. Before we can Know, dare, will, or keep silent, one must have something to work on. The word GOD is derived from the Egyptian verb: To Go. God is anyone who goes. The symbol of this is the Egyptian Ankh. The Ankh was a symbol of a sandal strap. To Egyptians this was a sandal strap. The hole is where the big toe went. To Go, for the Egyptians was a godly act. The ancient Egyptian statues of Gods showed the God with one foot ahead and one foot behind...they are going. They have a divine right to go where they will. An Ankh is on the Tree of Life. The top six form the circle and the bottom four form the cross.
The thing about "To Go" is interesting. It doesn't imply you have to get anywhere. There is no goal. In magick one should not lust after result. Do not think of the goal so much that you lose the enjoyment in getting there.
The fact is: a. You should go... and
b. the enjoyment is in the going... not in the goal itself.
The goal is Godly. Once you arrive at a goal...life stops unless you have a
further goal mapped out. If you plan a continuum of goals you will always be
walking. That's the Idea.

APRENDER DE LA CONFERENCIAS DE VICENTE BELTR'aN ANGLADA ES PARTE DEL PROYECTO DE LA GRAN LOGIA BLANCA
[ CONDICIONAMIENTO, DESAPEGO Y LIBERTAD ]
POR VICENTE BELTR'aN ANGLADA
BARCELONA, 22 DE MAYO DE 1981
VICENTE:... y habida cuenta que el ser humano se est'a moviendo en tres dimensiones distintas, pero muy compenetradas, como son el plano f'isico, el mundo emocional y la mente, cabe decir que al hablar de ciencia de desapego a una humanidad inteligente de nuestros d'ias, (lo que intentamos) es buscar el desapego hacia el mundo de la mente, o sea, de los pensamientos, hacia el mundo de las emociones, es decir, actuando sobre los deseos, y tambi'en sobre las sensaciones del cuerpo f'isico.
Bueno, ustedes dir'an que esto ya lo sabemos, yo tambi'en lo s'e, todos lo sabemos, pero no se trata de saber, SE TRATA DE APLICAR, pues una cosa es el poder y otra es la responsabilidad de este poder. La responsabilidad siempre nace por el discernimiento, fruto del discernimiento es la voluntad y el prop'osito espiritual de realizar, entonces, cuando hablamos del desapego nos referimos al ser humano inmerso en un mundo conflictivo como el nuestro, dentro del cual todos sin ning'un g'enero de dudas estamos adheridos, estamos apegados a acontecimientos, a personas, a ideas, y todas estas cuestiones de tipo nacional, internacional o local, que conturban nuestro 'animo y llenan de complejos nuestra vida.
Bueno, esto es muy natural en un mundo en donde se rinde culto a las sensaciones y a la ilusi'on de los sentidos y al maya de todas las convicciones existentes, y desde el momento en que el individuo se da cuenta en cierta medida de que est'a apegado a alg'un hecho personal o acontecimiento, y se da cuenta al propio tiempo que este apego es negativo para su propia evoluci'on psicol'ogica, empieza la lucha por este descubrimiento del ser inmortal que todos llevamos dentro y que tiene como objetivo supremo la liberaci'on.
Es decir, que estamos muy limitados para hablar de libertad, una palabra hueca como la palabra Dios, ?verdad? Porque..., qu'e sabemos de libertad, es una palabra, un t'opico, y esot'ericamente sabemos que los t'opicos no nos sirven para nada, y que cuando hablamos de apego nos referimos a la liberaci'on de todos los t'opicos existentes, incluida la idea de Dios y la idea de libertad. Porque el 'ultimo apego que tiene el ser humano es el apego a la propia liberaci'on o a la propia idea de Dios o la propia idea de libertad.
Desde el momento en que la persona se siente libre deja de pensar en t'erminos de libertad, deja de hablar de la libertad, deja de expresar la libertad como una simple utop'ia mental. Cuando sucede este raro hecho en la vida de la naturaleza -utilizo muy intencionadamente esta palabra, intencionalmente-, cuando el individuo est'a inmerso dentro de su propia libertad, que es la libertad del Universo, que es la libertad de la Naturaleza, autom'aticamente se crea dentro del ambiente social del mundo un centro de revoluci'on.
Revoluci'on contra todo lo establecido, y no es que la persona se sienta revolucionaria, simplemente est'a expresando libertad en un mundo que no la posee, y (en el cual) se produce una reacci'on contra el hombre que posee esta libertad, y todas las 'epocas de la humanidad, desde los tiempos de la barbarie primitiva hasta nuestra era t'ecnicamente civilizada, siempre ha habido una reacci'on del ser humano mediocre, de lo m'as corriente, contra el hombre superior, y me pregunto si podremos cambiar ese estado de cosas, porque el hombre que se siente libre no lo expresa con palabras, es un CENTRO DE RADIACI`oN ESPIRITUAL, un centro de radiaci'on de la propia libertad que ha conquistado, y para este individuo no existen t'opicos.
La utop'ia ha desaparecido, la idea de Dios se ha convertido en la presencia 'intima de Dios, en la conciencia de Dios, si podemos decirlo as'i, y tambi'en a este aspecto esencial en la vida de la humanidad, a la cual se refiri'o tantas veces CRISTO, de que el hombre que se siente investigador esot'erico -le damos m'isticamente el nombre de disc'ipulo- se convierte en un granito de sal en la tierra, le da sabor a la existencia del mundo, de la misma manera que una peque~na porci'on de levadura hace crecer una gran masa de harina. As'i parece ser que es el hombre liberado, el hombre que alcanz'o la libertad, y que por haber conquistado esas atribuciones del Ser Supremo est'a testimoniando la vida de la naturaleza y se convierte, por as'i decirlo, en el brazo derecho de la humanidad.
Bien, ustedes dir'an que eso tambi'en son palabras, lo que se trata aqu'i juntos, pensando y sintiendo en t'erminos de libertad, y no simplemente hablando en t'erminos de libertad, de ver si podemos aproximarnos m'as estrechamente a esta libertad suprema que constituye la esencia pura de nuestro ser. Seamos conscientes de que paralelamente a la vida social del hombre, a la vida de la actividad cotidiana con sus problemas y dificultades, lo que podemos llamar razones k'armicas, existe tambi'en otra vida que desconocemos, una vida..., no me atrevo a llamarla espiritual porque es una palabra..., pero existe una porci'on de vida trascendente que corre a la par de la conducta social, y que aparentemente hemos desligado del devenir de nuestra vida, lo mismo que hace el aspirante cuando separa una porci'on de su vida para dedicarla a la meditaci'on.
No voy en contra de la meditaci'on, est'en ustedes atentos a lo que voy a referirme, la persona medita a horas fijas, ha establecido un horario, un ritmo, y se sujeta a aquel ritmo, lo cual definitivamente puede ser una falta de libertad, porque se ha condicionado a un ritmo, en tanto que para m'i la meditaci'on es algo consustancial con la propia vida. La flor est'a meditando, ?verdad?, el 'arbol est'a meditando, est'a viviendo, la nube que pasa tambi'en est'a meditando, el Universo entero est'a meditando, el 'unico que no medita es el hombre, (porque) est'a entreg'andose a las pr'acticas de la meditaci'on como si la meditaci'on fuera algo aparte de su propia existencia. Ahora bien, QU'e OCURRIR'a EL D'iA EN QUE EL HOMBRE MEDITE LAS VEINTE Y CUATRO HORAS DEL D'iA, entonces el d'ia se hace la noche, por as'i decirlo, (se trata de una vida) que no tenga lugar a fracciones de su propia vivencia, que no establezca diferencia en su vida social y en su vida espiritual, y que todo sea, o una vida plenamente social, o una vida realmente espiritual, pues es la misma cosa. ?Por qu'e separamos la vida?, ?no ser'a porque nos falta libertad?
Libertad de acci'on, libertad de elecci'on, libertad en todos los sentidos, las complejidades de nuestra propia vida nos est'a obligando a meditar, pero a veces la meditaci'on se convierte astutamente en la a~nagaza del yo para separarse de sus propios problemas sociales; de la misma manera el hombre social entregado a la lucha social se olvida de la vida espiritual.
Entonces, cuando yo hablo de libertad me refiero a este punto de equilibrio que existe inexorablemente entre la vida social y la vida llamada espiritual. ?Acaso no son la misma cosa? ?Podemos separar alg'un fragmento del propio Dios? Si Dios es la totalidad evidentemente no podemos separar ni uno s'olo de sus infinitos fragmentos, y nosotros somos fragmentos de esta Divinidad. De la misma manera, y aplicando el sentido 'intimo de la analog'ia, no podemos separar una porci'on de nuestra vida para hacer algo aparte de lo que es la vida total del d'ia o de la noche, o la total existencia con sus problemas y dificultades y ese momento en que decimos "vamos a buscar la iluminaci'on, vamos a buscar la protecci'on, vamos a buscar a trav'es de la meditaci'on, de la plegaria, o de la oraci'on, un punto de contacto con el Ser supremo", lo cual parece negar la gran verdad esot'erica de que si Dios est'a en todas las cosas y en todos los hechos, y en todos los acontecimientos, al separar arbitrariamente una fracci'on de la otra, estamos dividiendo al propio Dios dentro de nuestro propio interior ?Se dan cuenta? La cosa es muy sencilla.
Me pregunto si hemos llegado a ESTE PUNTO ROTUNDO DE S'iNTESIS DENTRO DEL CORAZ`oN. Dentro del alma existe una libertad de acci'on que est'a m'as all'a de toda disciplina impuesta por el yo, y no digo que la disciplina no sea algo natural en la vida de la naturaleza, pues, ?acaso un ritmo dentro de la vida de la Naturaleza no es un ejercicio o una disciplina que se ha impuesto el propio Dios? ?Acaso no son disciplinas las estaciones del a~no, o los meses del a~no, o los d'ias de la semana, o las horas del d'ia, o las revoluciones de la Tierra alrededor de su eje, o su vuelta alrededor del Sol? ?Acaso no es una disciplina? Pero es una disciplina sin autoimposici'on, es una disciplina natural impuesta por el libre ejercicio de la propia voluntad, pues Dios evidentemente en su Universo no prestar'a m'as atenci'on a un d'ia que a un a~no, o a una fracci'on de su peque~na vida, o de gran vida, con la gran vida que constituye la totalidad del Universo. Es el caso de Krishna y Arjuna, Krishna es la totalidad y Arjuna es el fragmento, y todos cuantos hayamos estudiado el Bhagavad Gita sabremos estas cosas. Pero, ?qu'e hemos hecho?, hemos cogido a Krishna, lo hemos metido dentro de la peque~na vida de Arjuna y lo hemos all'i limitado, lo hemos condicionado, y hemos dicho "ya poseo a Dios, ya poseo la libertad", (pero) 'unicamente se est'a poseyendo su propio fragmento de la libertad de Dios.
Bien, se trata de algo que aparentemente es filos'ofico, pero yo creo que es algo social y espiritual al propio tiempo, que constituye parte de nuestra propia evoluci'on, si es que podemos darnos cuenta de esta acci'on, que no es limitadora, que es el enclave de la propias consecuencias divinas de nuestro coraz'on. Y, naturalmente, ah'i surge el gran problema de nuestra vida, el gran reto de la existencia, el ser o no ser que ha imperado en las mentes de todos los hombres que se preguntaron el porqu'e de las cosas, el porqu'e de su procedencia, el porqu'e de sus actividades en el presente y el porqu'e del objetivo que nos tiene reservado el propio Dios, lo cual significa que estamos inmersos en un mundo conflictivo donde el karma tiene m'as potencia que nuestra propia voluntad, y no podemos hablar de libertad en tanto el karma est'e por encima de nuestra peque~na noci'on de libertad.
Es verdad, todos estamos dentro de este contexto natural, todos estamos tratando de vivir al amparo de razones esot'ericas, de razones m'isticas, o de razones sociales, como ustedes quieran. Pero, me pregunto siempre si al final de nuestro destino no nos daremos cuenta de que hemos perdido mucho tiempo pensando fragmentariamente en un sector o en otro de nuestra vida, dando quiz'a m'as importancia a nuestra posici'on social, o relaci'on social, y menos importancia quiz'a al mundo espiritual, o viceversa, quiz'a habremos asignado a nuestra vida espiritual una importancia superior al propio condicionamiento temporal de la sociedad donde estamos inmersos. Y 'este es un motivo de gran meditaci'on, si ustedes aceptan ese t'ermino sin darle el t'ermino que se le asigna arbitrariamente, el de separar un fragmento de nuestro movimiento de cada d'ia para hacer algo que consideramos necesario.
Estoy hablando, por cuanto durante muchos a~nos he estado en una escuela esot'erica en la cual los estudiantes estaban preocupados por el devenir de sus estudios y de sus propias meditaciones, y estaban lament'andose, arrepinti'endose, sinceramente seguramente, de que no hab'ian podido realizar su meditaci'on en cualquier d'ia del mes y que estaban entristecidos porque entonces no pod'ian establecer como de costumbre su contacto diario con el 'ANGEL SOLAR, o con el Yo Superior, o con el Alma en su propio plano, lo cual evidentemente es una negaci'on de la propia espiritualidad del ser, por cuanto LA MEDITACI`oN ES LA ATENCI`oN HACIA TODO CUANTO SEA REALMENTE IMPORTANTE EN LA VIDA. Yo creo que no hay ning'un momento en nuestra vida que no sea importante, busquen cualquier momento que no sea importante y d'iganme ustedes cu'al es, y veremos a ver si es verdad; y por qu'e entonces tiene m'as importancia el momento en que estoy condicion'andome a ciertas t'ecnicas establecidas, o a ciertas autodisciplinas, o a cualquier momento en la vida del tiempo de cada d'ia en que realmente somos importantes frente a la sociedad.
Bien, no quiero continuar porque espero que abramos un di'alogo sobre estos puntos, porque siempre he cre'ido que SE HAN ACABADO LOS TIEMPOS DE LAS GRANDES CONFERENCIAS Y DE LOS GRANDES ENUNCIADOS DE PALABRAS Y DE RAZONAMIENTOS. Hoy d'ia estamos inmersos todos dentro de un plano de igualdad social y espiritual, y dentro de este plano de igualdad podemos siempre establecer un di'alogo cordial, dentro del cual seguramente podamos ampliar comentarios, podamos sentirnos m'as unidos, podamos vivir m'as de acuerdo con la propia realidad.

LA LIBERTAD GENUINA DEL HOMBRE
ACLARACI`oN IMPORTANTE: Vicente Beltr'an Anglada cuando visit'o Argentina en 1985 en unas de sus primeras conferencias expres'o lo siguiente: "Tengo que decirles muy especialmente, tal como tuve el gusto de decir el otro d'ia, que la Gran Fraternidad Blanca del Planeta tiene especialmente orientada su visi'on hacia este gran pa'is, porque dentro de los planes jer'arquicos para esta Nueva Era hay dos pa'ises en el continente americano que merecen una especial atenci'on, son: Argentina, Brasil y Uruguay. TIENEN UN COMETIDO ESPEC'iFICO A DESARROLLAR y hay una cantidad impresionante de disc'ipulos mundiales y de varios Maestros de la Gran Fraternidad, dirigidos por el Maestro Conde de San Germ'an, que est'an trabajando por la reorientaci'on espiritual de estos dos pa'ises casi hermanos por sus fronteras, que TIENEN QUE ENCENDER LA LUZ DE LA LIBERTAD POR TODO EL CONTINENTE AMERICANO, sin distinci'on." Leyendo este p'arrafo, uno tiende a preguntarse: ?Qu'e es la LIBERTAD? Apuntando a la respuesta es que ponemos a tu consideraci'on esta conferencia de Vicente Beltr'an. Adem'as, animamos a todos a realizar una investigaci'on acerca de la LIBERTAD, c'omo comprenderla, c'omo actualizarla en nuestras vidas, c'omo irradiarla en nuestros ambientes... ES NUESTRO COMETIDO JER'aRQUICO!

The moon is perhaps humankind's oldest form of marking time. According to some scholars, the Celts used a Lunar Calendar that consisted of 13 months, each 28 days in length. Each month of the Celtic Lunar calendar bears the name of a tree, which also stands for one of the consonants in the Celtic 'tree alphabet'. There are basically two different versions of this Lunar calendar: the "Beth-Luis-Nion" (which begins on the Winter Solstice) and the "Beth-Luis-Fearn" (which begins on Samhain).
BETH-LUIS-NION VERSION OF THE CELTIC TREE CALENDAR:
* B - "Beth" - Birch Month (December 24th - January 20th)
* L - "Luis" - Rowan Month (January 21st - February 17th)
* N - "Nion" - Ash Month (February 18th - March 17th)
* F - "Fearn" - Alder Month (March 18th - April 14th)
* S - "Saille" - Willow Month (April 15th - May 12th)
* H - "Huath" - Hawthorn Month (May 13th - June 9th)
* D - "Duir" - Oak Month (Jun 10th - July 7th)
* T - "Tinne" - Holly Month (July 8th - August 4th)
* C - "Coll" - Hazel Month (August 5th - September 1st)
* M - "Muin" - Vine Month (September 2nd - September 29th)
* G - "Gort" - Ivy Month (September 30th - October 27th
* Ng - "Ngetal" - Reed Month or Elm Month (October 28th - November 24th)
* R - "Ruis" - Elder Month (November 25th - December 23rd)
The five vowels I, A, O, U, and E have corresponding tree names to the nights of the solstices and equinoxes:
* I - "Idho" - Night of the Yew - Winter Solstice Eve
* A - "Ailm" - Night of the Silver Fir - Winter Solstice
* * - "Herb too sacred to have a Celtic name" - the Night of Mistletoe - Day after Winter Solstice
* O - "Onn" - Night of the Gorse Bush, - Vernal Equinox
* U - "Ura" - Night of the Heather - Summer Solstice
* E - "Eadha" - Night of the White Poplar, Alban Elfed - Autumnal Equinox
THE TREES:
* Birch - 1st Moon of the Celtic Year - (Dec 24 - Jan 21)

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!

In the beginning was a mystery and the mystery was thought-provoking enough that some people felt that extra-terrestrial beings created it. Many years ago, Dutch sailors noticed an isolated island in the middle of the dark Pacific. Headed by the navigator Jacob Roggeveen, the explorers decided to land on what appeared to be an island of sand dunes. The Europeans, especially the Spaniards, were already exploring the New World and encountering strange sites-the Spanish viceroy of Peru already reported that the Incan capital was protected by high walls built by the Devil himself. So on 5 April 1722, there was an eerie feeling sweeping over the Dutch sailors as they approached the strange island.
If the Spaniards were horrified by the demonic walls of the Incas, the Dutch sailors were soon to find out that the devil-while Europe was facing the demons of Christianity-have been building his fortresses across the American continent and towards the Pacific. As they drew nearer the island they noticed large stone images floating over the dunes. "We could not comprehend how it was possible that these people, who are devoid of heavy thick timber [or] strong ropes, nevertheless, had been able to erect such images, which were fully thirty feet high," wrote Roggeveen in his journal. And then they discovered that it was not dunes they were looking at but barren hills devoid of forests and timbers.
Thousands of stone images extremely larger than the simple phallic monuments of Southeast Asia dotted the bald island. "The great mystery that struck all early visitors was not just that these colossal statues stood in such a tiny and remote corner of the world, but that the stones seems to have been put there without tackle, as if set down from the sky," said the historian Ronald Wright, and added, "The figures stood there mockingly, defying common sense." And there is indeed a certain degree of common sense education that can be learned from these statues of the "Devil"; but one may ponder as to what evil the statues caused or was the Devil a narcissist who carved his face on a thousand stones.
Rapa Nui, as the Polynesians called the island, "was once well watered and green, with rich volcanic soil supporting thick woods of the Chilean wine palm, a fine timber that can grow as big as an oak." Around 500 CE, Wright explains, "migrants from the Marquesas of the Gambiers arrived in big catamarans stocked with their usual range of crops and animals." Rapa Nui became a thriving society of around 10,000 people divided into nobles, priests and commoners. But what catastrophe occurred in Rapa Nui that made the famous Captain James Cook, who visited the island later after the Dutch, wrote that nature had "been exceedingly sparing of her favours to this spot"?
Just like the other Polynesians, the inhabitants of Rapa Nui worshipped their ancestors through the erection of statues. It became a source of pride: the larger the statue, the greater the prestige. And as generation to generation the urge for greater prestige increased, the statues too increased in size; dramatically "demanding more timber, rope, and manpower. Trees were cut faster than they could grow." The inhabitants were consuming the natural resources of the island like greedy piranhas swarming over their prey. But just as most things in this world, the perfection of an art also means the destruction of it. The sabre-toothed cat once perfected the art of killing the mammoths that they hunted them down to the last one. The extinction of the prey also meant the extinction of the predator; and in the island's case, the greater the monuments became-the more they reach perfection-the greater the pace of the destruction of the environment.
Man was the catastrophe of Rapa Nui. It is indeed chilling to hear when Wright wrote that by 1400 CE, "no more tree pollen is found in the annual layers of the crater lakes." Chaos took over as the contest for resource set in. There were skirmishes between families and tribes, and "the Europeans heard tales of how the warrior class had taken power, how the island had convulsed with burning villages, gory battles, and cannibal feasts." The "mini-civilization" of monuments, great houses, and large villages was pushed back to the early culture of the Cro-Magnons as their resources dwindled down to the last chickens they have kept. As the land resources minimized dead, sea foods could have been the only salvation. However, no timber meant no new boats; and as the last old boat faded away into oblivion, the people were doomed. Cook described them as "small, lean, timid and miserable."
There is a very strong analogy between the island called Rapa Nui and the planet called Earth-the former was destroyed by man's insatiable nature while the latter is being ravaged by man's incalculable cruelty. One can remember the Brothers: "Human beings are a disease in this planet. You are a plague." Environmentalist can argue that humanity must save earth, but one must also remember that in the 99.9% of the Earth's existence it withstood the burning hell of gravitational pull, the sea of fire created by wicked storms, ice ages that can freeze even a refrigerator, the appetite of the dinosaurs, and the impact of a thousand asteroids. Earth always had a period of rejuvenation; so there is no need to worry about earth, it can handle itself. The question is: can humanity handle Earth handling itself?
The answer is obvious enough: we hang on a balance of a 50-50 survival rate. What happened in Rapa Nui was not just an omen; it was a warning by Earth: "you can worship a million gods beneath a billion souls of your ancestors, or you can roll them all into one, I do not care. When the time comes when I declare war on humans and the living species that damaged me, no army of God will be powerful enough to stop me from changing myself!" And the earth is indeed dramatically changing. Temperatures have enormously risen since the beginning of modern civilization. Perhaps humanity may have pushed its experiment of civilization to its limits-always wanting to make the largest statue. Like Rapa Nui, everything will have an end.
Armageddon is not the coming of God on Earth; it is the day the Earth will reclaim everything it lost from the quick burst of human greed and human arrogance. Perhaps humanity should learn that what it is doing is suicide-religion made humanity blind to the fact that they came out of Earth, children of its soil, nurtured by its air, given life by its resources. The time we placed the gods and the goddesses on the pedestal of our consciousness was the time the Earth stood still. Time to relearn, what was unlearned! Then maybe, just maybe, the story of what happened on Isla de Pascua (Easter Island, also called Rapa Nui) may bring a new life for humanity.

(Well, I managed to pull a couple of all nighters and got two other parts, so there will be Fighter, Mage and Cleric here.)
Hillsfar
(Well, no-one but me knew my Pool of Radiance party, but it had two Human Fighters(Matthew and Daniel), a Human Cleric(Ben), two Elven
Fighter/Mages(Leanna and Andrew)(Me) and a Half-elf Fighter/Thief(Peter)
My friends and I had travelled to Hillsfar from Phlan, after the battle against Tyranthraxus. Phlan was under re-construction now, and the
excitement and adventures had died down. We were heading to Comyr, in search of further adventures. We had crossed the Moonsea by boat, and had docked near Hillsfar. We needed supplies for our journey, and we were all curious to what was happening inside the city. The guards had some strange
"ideas" about what we were allowed to bring into Hisslfar, and we didn't want to leave our valuable armour and weapons with the guards, so we set up camp some distance from the city, and Matthew and Daniel, stayed behind to guard our gear. The other four of us each headed to the four guilds in the city, to see what we could discover.
Fighter-(Andrew)
The Fighter's guild is located in the North-Western section of the city.
When I reaced there, Caratacus, the guild master insisted that I proved myself in Archery before letting me join the guild. It was 2pm, and the archery range closed at 4pm, so I rushed to Tanna's archery range
(North-East city) and had two tries, winning both times. Tanna then ran up and told me to return to the Fighter's Guild. Caratacus seemed pleased by my achievement, but another requirement to join the guild was to prove myself in the arena. That was easy. My first opponent was a weak orc, who I attacked immediately with an overhead smash (special), which he blocked, then quickly finished the job with a left and a right. The Red Minotaur was not as easy, but he was pretty vulnerable to left, right alternating swings. Back at the guild, Caratacus was pleased, probably about the 150 gold admission fee I had to pay!
Caratacus told me of a guild member who had been carrying valuable documents. He had been killed, and the documents were apparantly still on the body. I broke into the ceremony at night, and found the body. On it was a note that the documents had been taken to the Jail as "evidence". I could never work out who had written the note, or why. The jail door was firmly locked, but smashing it in did wonders! The dart trap missed by a mile, and I walked in. I found the documents in a chest near the door, which I had to bash open, and quickly ran out the front door, before any guards came.
Caracatus was relieved to recieve the documents, and expressed his
gratitude to the sum of 5,000 gold! I knew the other party members would be impressed.
My attention was drawn to a recent murder and robbery at the Castle. Jared Jymn, the suspect, had been seen running towards the Rat's Nest Tavern, In the North-East of town, so I decided to go there and see what information I could find. While listening to various gossip, I heard someone say that the Plumies were still looking for Jared at the Tavern, and that the fellow believed that Jared was scum, and that the guards should be searching the sewers for him. What an insult! Still the sewers seemed like a good place to hide so I went down there. I discovered Hillsfar's great security. What other city can boast of set Teleport traps in their sewers! Anyway, I found a beggar in the sewers, who told me that Jared used to fight in the Arena for a living. After a fight with Ssslander, the lizardman, I talked to him about Jared. He said that Jared had been friends with the old Hermit, and had been there many times. A ride through the woods proved how obedient and well trained my damn horse was, throwing me onto the ground several times.
I swapped the old nag at the Trading post, for a horse called "Lightning",
who liked to run at fast speeds. There was a suspicious poster from the King's advisor, offering a reward of 7,000 gold for Information about Jared. I assumed Jared had torn down the poster. I returned to the Rat's Nest Tavern, and asked the barmaid what interesting information she had heard. She told me that the only area the Plumies had not searched was the Haunted Mansion Secret Rooms. That seemed interesting, so I went to the Haunted Mansion and bashed in the door, taking a poison dart for my efforts. No one can hide secret doors from the elves, and I soon found the Secret door, leading into the secret treasure rooms. The door was in the Northern-most part of the mansion in a rectangular shaped room with a protrusion that had a long corridor leading up to it. The secret door is on the Western wall. Anyway, Jared was in the area, and after telling his story, he asked me to help him by delivering information to the King's daughter, at the Bugbear's Cave Tavern. I argeed, thinking that if he had been lying I could always give the information to the King's advisor. I went to the Tavern, south of the mansion, but didn't find the King's daughter, so I gave the information to the barmaid, and on her advice, left for the Trading Post. When I got there, the Trader told me that the Knig's advisor had framed Jared, and the Fighter's guild was looking to reward the person who had delivered the information. I returned to the guild, and recieved 10,000 gold pieces for my trouble.
Caratacus then told me that Hector Sams' daughter Arlana had been
kidnapped! I went to his house, and he tearfully told me that Arlana had disappeared from the cemetary. At Hector's wife's Tombstone, I found some wilted flowers, and a map to the big tree. The map was interesting, so I went to the tree. In the tree, I found Charlie, who had been attacked by someone with a sling. He asked me to go to Tanna. After a round of Throwing Daggers, I discovered that Tanna was no help at all! I was on my way to the Fighter's Guild when a lunatic called Wak Rathar who asked me if I wanted to see a magic trick. I replied yes, and he teleported me into the Arena, with all the prisoners who had to fight for their lives! I had a very tough fight with a Knight called Morin, barely escaping with my life. I was not impressed by this type of magic. Back at the Fighter's Guild, Caratacus mentioned that Smasher, the Minotaur had been beaten by Hector. I went back to the arena, and had a really easy match with Ottis the orc. After the battle I talked to Smasher, who said that someone had lost all he owned on the fight. I went to the Rat's Nest Tavern, where the story was repeated.
The man was Franklin Smith, who had worked at the Healers shop. At the store, near the Temple, the healer told me that Smith had been seen heading for the quarry. At the quarry, I found a little girls bonnet, which proved that Arlana had been kidnapped. I had been getting used to breaking into houses now, and either the Plumies were getting better, or I was getting worse. I almost got caught, narrowly escaping by using two scrolls of Hold Person. Caratacus had heard of a slave ring operating near Hillsfar, and sent me, and other Fighters around to search. I was asked to go to the ruins. Somehow I just knew the girl would be there. At the ruins I found Smith, and rescued Arlana, who wanted to go home. However, I got caught by those bloody guards, who almost arrested me for buying a slave. I don't think Arlana was terribly impressed. I returned Arlana to Caratacus, who rewarded me with 26,000 gold pieces, and raised my life with his Ring of Wishes. What a waste. I would have just asked for Immortality. After the ceremony, I left Hissfar and returned to Camp, wondering how my friends had fared...
Since I had returned first, I recieved the extreme "honour" of being the one to write a journal for the whole set of adventures at Hillsfar. Oh well. I can't win everything.
Cleric-(Ben)
The Cleric's Guild, the Temple of Tempus, was Ben's first point of call.
He learned that an acolyte had been transporting Scriptures, and he was sent to the Trading post to look for him. The Trader told Ben that the acolyte had gone to the Big Tree for lunch. Ben followed him to see what the delay was about. Ben found that the acolyte had been robbed, and beaten up, and escorted him back to the Temple. After a period of meditation, Ben had decided to return to the Trading Post. The Trader there revealed that someone had been roobed at the Hermit's place. That seemed like a place to start the search, so he went there. He found the scriptures, near the entrance, tossed behind a bush. He picked them up and left through the front door. Ben had also been having trouble with his horse, so he had also traded his horse, for one called "Jumper" who had an annoying habit of leaping all around. He returned the scriptures to the Temple and was rewarded with 1,000 gold.
The High Priest then complained that his incense had been stolen. Ben ran to the sewers behind the temple, and right inside, found a Thief counting money. Ben made a deal with the thief, who told him that he had sold the incense to "Kridar" who was going to the Dragon's Lair for a drink. Despite rushing to the Tavern, Ben didn't find Kridar. A patron said that Kridar had been "living" in the haunted mansion lately, and so Ben decided to inspect the building. Someone had fixed the door after I'd left, so Ben just bashed it in again. A note from Kridar was found in a chest, asking someone to meet him at the hut. The hut was a short journey away from Hillsfar, but Ben didn't catch the two clerics. Instead, he found an old man, who told him the clerics had left for the ruins. At the ruins, quite a far way in, Ben found a chest, along with broken furniture. Opening the chest, he found some of the Incense, which he returned to the High Priest.
The High Priest then told him that the King had caught the two clerics performing a Dark Ritual, and had exiled them from Hillsfar. For returning the Incense, Ben was rewarded with 8,000 gold.
I interrupted his story. "Did you see a mage called Wak Rathar in
Hillsfar?"
"Yes, he teleported me into the arena." Ben replied angrily.
On the way out, back to our campsite, Ben came across a Thief who
explained the problem of a fellow cleric, Brother Serson. The cleric asked Ben for a 50 gold donation, which he readily supplied, and then the cleric asked him to retrieve a wand from the Mage Tower. Ben found the wand, In a secret passage in the tower.
"Where was the passage?" I asked.
"I can't remember." Ben replied "But it was at the end of a long corridor somewhere."
Brother Serson then asked Ben to give the wand to "Dalma". Ben didn't know where to go, but a voice in the Temple told him to go to the Rat's Nest at early evening. Ben met "Dalma", the Rouge who had told him about Serson's problem in the first place. He refused to give her the wand, and she stormed off. Ben returned to the Temple the next day, where Dalma told him she wanted an extra 400 gold from Serson. Ben returned to the Temple and asked Serson what was going on. Serson replied that his daughter was missing, and told him that Dalma, who knew where she was, had a ring belonging to his daughter, and he demander to see the ring before paying the extra gold. Ben returned to the Inn, where Dalma gave him the ring, and took Serson's gold. Ben later discovered that he had been robbed by Dalma.
Well, anyway, he had the ring. He took it to Serson, who said that it was not the real ring. Ben, who was pretty angry by now, went to Dalma's hideout in the Quarry. There, he found Dalma's corpse, along with her killer, who had a bow aimed at Ben's head! Ben reasoned with the person, who told him why he had killed Dalma, and that if she ever had the ring it would be in her secret hide-away. The person had told of Dalma wanting to live in a mansion, so he went to the Haunted mansion, and into the secret passage.(I mentioned it in the Fighter section) Inside he found the ring, and rushed back to the Temple, only to find that Serson's daughter was there! Serson explained that they had an argument, and his daughter had run away, made friends with Dalma, and lost her ring. Still, Ben was given
19,800 gold and some extra Life using a wish, just like me.
"I felt like slapping the girl." Ben muttered, "after all that trouble, and I didn't even ever get my gold back from that thief."
Mage-(Leanna)
The Mage guild is located just south of the castle, in a well sheltered alley.Before going to the guild, Leanna first ate a meal at thee Hydra's Den, in the South-West of town. Biswon, the guild master, asked Leanna to go to the Trading Post, to search for Squid Sepia. The Trader had no idea what the mage meant, and mentioned that there had been a squid washed up at the Dead dragon. At the dead dragon, the squid was found, near a chest, and Leanna tore off a tentacle, and went to a Magic shop to extract the Sepia, only to find that she'd grabbed the wrong part, and the correct bit was an eyeball. Back at the Dragon, someone had removed the squid, but she remembered that the Hydra's den was serving squid dinners. She ordered a squid meal, but there was no eyeball in the meal. When she asked the barmaid, the barmaid said that the Trader at the Post collected eyeballs.
After a trip to the Trading Post, the Trader gave her an eyeball, free of charge. Then, she took the eyeball to the magic shop, and gave the Sepia to the mage, who rewarded her with 1,000 gold coins.
"If only we could have taken spell components." She sighed. "A fireball would have been very nice in the Post indeed."
The guild master then told of a book, that contained foul evil magics, and asked Leanna to go to the Trading Post to look for it. The Trader was a little more helpful this time, telling that the book had probably been taken to a
to exchange the book for the Pendant and 500 gold pieces, and arranged a meeting at the Dragon's Lair,in the North-west area of town. At the Tavern, Eclipe and Leanna made the trade. and she returned the book to the
guildmaster for 5,275 gold.
"A pity." I commented "We could have learned a bit from that book."
Next, she recieved a vision telling her to search the
(located in the north, in a room similar to that of the haunted mansion.)
and open a chest. The last vial of elixer was kept in the ruins, and the third honour was to defeat Taurus the minotaur. That one was hard,
especially defeating Morin. After the battle, Dianne approached Leanna and told her of the fate of her three daughters, and that the guild master knew what had happened. The guild master said that the Minotaur locked the three girls in a mirror of life trapping, which he gave to his minion. At the Rat's Nest, the barmaid said that the Minotaur's servant had hid the mirrior in the mansion. Leanna found the mirror in the secret rooms and broke it, before returning to the mage guild, where Diane had left a reward of 21,500 gold and a life bonus.
"Did you meet a mage called Wak Rathar?" I queeried.
"Yes, he created a pile of gold." Leanna replied.
I scowled. Still, At least now I knew the man was sexist.
We're still waiting for Peter to return. When he does, I'll add his story to this. Apparantly so far he has found some weird potion, Broken into the Temple, raided the Castle Treasury and is now looking for Thieves who robbed the
