Lithia is also known as the summer solstice, Midsummer, All Couples Day, and Saint John's Day. Litha is one of the fire festivals and occurs on the longest day of the year. This is the time of year when the sun reaches its highest apex, at the Tropic of Cancer. It is the day when light overcomes darkness, a day of power. Litha also is one of the "quarter days" or the Lesser Sabbats.
Litha, as a Wiccan holiday, has the Sun/God reaching full power, and the Goddess pregnant with child. She holds promise of the bounty of the harvest yet to come. Litha's name, depending which author you read, has its roots in Greco-Roman, (McCoy, page 149) or according to Our Lady of the Prairie Coven, Litha means opposite of Yule. This may possibly have Saxon roots, though that is pure speculation. No others authors that were researched for this article offered any explanation as to the origins of Litha other than it is name for Midsummer.
Midsummer traditionally marks the beginning of summer (i.e. schools out). Actually midsummer marks the actual middle of the Celtic summer, falling between Beltane and Lugnasadh. Midsummer is known also as a night of magic, made famous by William Shakespeare with his play Midsummer's Nights Dream. As a Quote from Puck can attest to:
Captain of our fairy band,
Helena is here at hand;
And the youth, mistook by me,
Pleading for a lover's fee.
Shall we their fond pageant see?
Lord, what fools these mortals be!
(Shakespeare, Act 3, Scene 2)
June in Europe and America is historically the busiest month for weddings, hence All Couples Day. This tradition begins because this time of the year was a time of rest for the Ancient Celts, the time between planting and harvesting. June allowed time for the wedding festivals and rest. This is best described in an English child's nursery rhyme.
"marry in the month of May
most surely you will rue the day.
Marry in June when roses grow
And happiness you'll always know"
Author Unknown (McCoy, 167)
Saint John's Day celebrates the birth of St. John exactly six months before the birth of Christ as he foretold of Christ's coming. The Celts, as was their way, easily adopted this day and incorporated into their summer solstice festivities just as they did with Beltane/May Day. A poem demonstrates how the Celts and other cultures were able to incorporate the various pagan meanings of Litha with a Christian one.
In praise of St. John-
May he give health to my heart.
St. John comes and St. John goes,
Mother, marry me off soon!
Author Unknown (Henes, page 61)
Litha's celebrations are as varied as the authors who write them are. The times that the ritual should take place are also varied. McCoy suggests that the ritual take place on the eve before June 21. (Pages 163-66) McCoy further states that during the ritual one should jump over or walk in between two purifying fires. (Pages 153-54) Author of Celestially Auspicious Occasions: Seasons, Cycles and Celebrations, Donna Henes, says that Midsummer is a sun festival and is best done during the daylight hours between sunrise and high noon. (Page 56)
Litha rituals as all ritual should be personal. Several of the authors give basic outlines some for covens, some for the solitary. Most of the authors used for this essay are Wiccan. This particular point of view uses a very pregnant Lady and a Lord at the height of his powers. This ritual, no matter what the tradition or the Gods/Goddesses involved should include either the sun or a fire, or both.
"FOODS"
Litha's foods vary, depending upon the author and tradition you adhere to. Cunningham suggests fruits, Buckland, cakes and ale, and Starhawk, bread and drink. However, given that this is a day to celebrate the sun, foods should be of yellow (gold), orange or reds.

Nova Leo Lunation on August 12th exact on 4:02PM PDT or 7:02PM EDT
Total self-expression can burst forth on this highly inspirational event bubblingwith radiant energy. Sun and Moon cojoin @ 20 degrees (19* 51') Leo with the Sabian message: American Indians perform majestic ritual to the Sun!
Leo Planets Posited in the 7th of the DC Chart
With Mercury quickly applying to an exact conjunction and combust Sun-Moon in Leo
there will be a strong tendency toward a capacity for concentration and focus.
If that was all there was it wouldn't be that remarkable except that since Venus now retrograde just slipped back in Leo and is meeting Saturn during this lunation.
This Saturn-Venus conjunction is the second this year with the last occuring on October 1st in the highly, service and earth oriented sign of Virgo - a huge shift from the glamourous life as depicted on the American Dream Tube.
We have recently seen the stock markets react in volatile meltdown to the housing crisis based on subprime loans that have finally blown up.
Despite the ominous tones present in this lunation - Chart for DC has all those Leo planets posited in the 7th house of foreign relations, treaties and/or disputes...Yes not only is this the house of open enemies but of business relationships and agreements. We will soon see how Venus Retrograde meeting Saturn direct and moving Full Speed Ahead to soon change signs into Virgo on September 2nd.
Venus is the natural ruler of the 7th house which signifies our relations with other societies or nations or organizations. (Now many more will wake up to the total destructive path that the US Empire of Neo Cons has hoisted upon the rest of the world.) All these Leo planets with the 7th Cusp at 0 degrees Leo puts even more emphasis on treaties, alliances, marriage and divorce issues, public relations, the balance of trade, the conditions of women - this also includes the divine feminine which is waking up as GAIA and very pissed off!
Leo is about courage, being the center of attention and it is also about Joy!
He who kisses the joy as it flies, lives in eternity's sunrise. WILLIAM BLAKE
As Barbara Hand Clow says about this remarkable event: " Sun/Moon/Mercury exactly opposite Neptune in Aquarius (as well as Chiron) is very significant because Neptune in Aquarius (1998-2012) has been guiding our spiritual opening all the way through the Galactic Underworld-1999-2011. "
Not only will the housing crisis accelerate but our sense of time is catalyzed by all these Neptune oppositions - there is a sense that that which was solid (like the empire's 3D Realitiy pronouncements including the phony War on Terror are dissolving into a greater, much larger dimensional shift.
Chiron the wounded healer @ 13 Aquarius is a barometer for our own deeper psychological insights with the Sabian Symbol: Neighbors have gathered to hear the news in a rural mansion equipped with a short wave radio. The host fiddles with the antenna to get a better signal. At this juncture we all are ready to get an accurate picture of our own interior cultural and spiritual reality...
Notice that the new moon chart also has Mars in Gemini (in the 4th) opposing Jupiter in Sagittarius in the 10th to make up one arm of a mutable, life changing cross with the Nodes of destiny in Pisce-Virgo making up the other arm. Mars in multi-directional Gemini is symbolically located in the 4th house of real estate and land values, mines, coal pits, minerals, quarries, the weather in direct conflict with Jupiter (prosperity and expansion). Jupiter is found in the 10th house of the DC Chart: the 10th which rules the government, the leadership or ruling class. In a nation's chart it rules the national reputation and prestige, world opinion, the party in power, the chief executive - ENOUGH SAID!
With Jupiter recently moving direct this mutable grand square with Pisces karmic focus on awakening true Christed compassion should allow many to see the root cause of America's primary difficutlites which have resulted in wasting precioius life and resources to wage
an unjust, antiquated and totally immoral war. This highly adaptable grand cross with Jupiter (sphere of the masters) applying to another SQ with Uranus the trickster bringing many surprises and sextile to Chiron opening us to a necessary healing process. The Sun ruler of Leo will shine on our need to protect the precious nature of life and the pursuit of happiness by ending all war once and for all.

It has come to my attention that the Manchester Union Leader's website is running an advertisement for an organization calling itself "7 lies.org." When one visits the Union Leader's website and clicks on the opinion link: For those who choose to take the "course," Perry Marshall will explain "key milestones in Church history" and will "dissect the most common lies" and "illuminate the fault line that separates genuine spirituality from EMPTY RELIGIOUS DOGMA."
Empty religious dogma? As Catholics, we understand that Dogmas are those Church doctrines which the Church proposes for belief as "formally" revealed by God. And nothing revealed by God may be said to be "empty."
I would encourage faithful Catholics to register their complaint with the Union Leader by visiting the link I have provided and clicking on the "contact us" link.
God love you all,
Paul Anthony Melanson

is also an initiate in the Egyptian Church of the Eternal Source, a
Priest in the Fellowship of Isis, and an initiate in several different
Traditions of Witchcraft. He holds academic degrees in sociology,
anthropology, clinical psychology, teaching, and theology.
On
April 7, 1962, inspired by Robert A. Heinlein's 1961 science-fiction
novel, Stranger in a Strange Land, Oberon co-founded the Church of All
Worlds. He has served as the Church's Primate ever since. First to
apply the terms "Pagan" and "Neo-Pagan" to the newly emerging Nature
religions of the 1960s, and through his publication of the
award-winning Pagan magazine, Green Egg (1968-1975; 1988-2000; 2007-),
Oberon was instrumental in the coalescence of the Neo-Pagan movement,
which for the past third of a century has been reclaiming the religious
heritage of pre-Christian Europe. (Identified as the fastest-growing
religion in the English-speaking world, US membership in the Pagan
community is currently estimated in the millions.)
In 1970,
Oberon formulated and published the thealogy of deep ecology which has
become known as The Gaia Thesis-that our entire planetary biosphere
comprises the body of a single vast living organism universally
identified as "Mother Earth." He met his soulmate, Morning Glory, at
the Llewellyn-sponsored Gnostic Aquarian Festival in 1973, where he was
a keynote speaker on the Gaia Thesis. They were legally married on
April 14, 1974, in a spectacular Pagan handfasting in Minneapolis.
For
eight years (1977-1985) Oberon and Morning Glory lived in a 5,600-acre
intentional community called Greenfield Ranch, in the mountains of
northern California, establishing a rural homestead and a Pagan retreat
center. During this period they created large festivals, vision quests,
ceremonies, and ritual events on the land. This work continues to this
day on Annwfn.
Oberon and Morning Glory co-founded the
Ecosophical Research Association in 1977, and their research into
arcane lore and ancient legends resulted in the Living Unicorn project,
begun in 1980. For the next four years they traveled all over North
America exhibiting their authentic Medieval-style Unicorns at
Renaissance Faires, before arranging a four-year exhibition contract
with Ringling Bros./Barnum and
in 1987 he conducted a research tour of ancient oracles and
archaeological sites throughout Mediterranean Europe. Other magical
journeys have taken Oberon to Peru, Hawaii, Alaska, back to Australia,
and, in 1999, to the British Isles for the century's last total Eclipse
of the Sun.
Oberon is the author of numerous published articles
on history, Gaian thealogy, magic, shamanism, mythology, anomalies,
dinosaurs, archaeology, cosmology, and
Oberon's
artwork has illuminated the pages of various fantasy, science-fiction,
and metaphysical magazines since the late 1960's, as well as
illustrating a number of
of their continuing participation, there has been a Church of All
Worlds presence at Starwood, called the CAWmunity, for over a decade,
and pivotal events in the saga of the C.A.W. have played themselves out
on the stages of Starwood.
In 2002, Oberon gathered together
many of the best-known minds in the Neo-Pagan movement to form the
"Grey Council." In 2004 Oberon and the Council published Grimoire for
the Apprentice Wizard, a book filled with the accumulated wisdom and
insight of dozens of the most experienced magicians, priests, artists,
and authors in Pagandom. Also in 2004, Oberon created his proudest
accomplishment, the online Grey School of Wizardry
(www.GreySchool.com). The Grey School currently offers over 300 classes
in 16 Departments, at seven levels, with more than 750 students aged
11-75. The faculty number 40 highly-qualified teachers. Graduates are
certified "Journeyman Wizards." Oberon is the school's Headmaster, and
has been called "The real Albus Dumbledore."
Oberon and Morning Glory currently reside in Sonoma County, California

I was talking to a dear friend of mine today, when she told me about a girl she worked with that everyone referred to as "easy." We all know what this means. The girl has a reputation, at least, for having sex with a lot of guys. While she may or may not actually do this, I would like to address the idea of what it means to be easy.
If you look at Urban Dictionary online's definition, it would seem that one who is easy is someone who will pretty much sleep with anyone that makes them an offer; for free, or through being charged. I would like to object to the common idea of someone that is easy. Most people find it sweet or romantic to kiss on the first date before departing. There is a beauty to slowly grasping your date's hand and walking with them in innocent comfort. These are seen as natural parts of dating. However, sex is so taboo as to make someone a harlot or a whore when it is enjoyed in the same sense of romance and comfort as any other part of dating.
There was a time, though it was rather long ago, when sex was done for the glory of God and the blessing of the Goddess. Though modern Christianity has done a good job of demonizing such acts, the ancient temples of Aphrodite, Adonis, Bacchus, Dionysus, and more were places where the priestesses and priests communed with the Divine through what is now called The Great Rite. Celtic traditions have held for thousands of years the great fertility rites to keep crops growing and households prosperous.
Until quite recently in human history, men and women allowed the pushes and pulls of the God and Goddess, as well as their own bodily desires, to be fulfilled. However, this concept of easiness, of not being allowed to sexually enjoy yourself with a willing partner, seems to stem from recently created Christian morality. While morals and values are excellent things to have, I think that we shouldn't look down our noses at those of us who indulge in consensual acts with a willing partner. If it's not rape, and it's completely desired by both parties, then go ahead...live it up. However, there comes a point where you're not fulfilling a divine, romantic interest and you're just being greedy. Learn where that line is.
What do you think? Am I wrong? What is your definition of being easy, or do you not have one? Let me know!
Love and Lyte,
Fire Lyte

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.

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.

"Anyone who is familiar with the goal of Yogic" life and the kind of effort it involves for its attainment will realize that it is neither possible nor advisable for anybody who is absorbed in the life of the world and completely under the influence of "Klesas" to plunge all at once into the regular practice of "Yoga". If he is sufficiently interested in the "Yogic" philosophy and wants to enter the path which leads to its goal he should first accustom himself to discipline, should acquire the necessary knowledge of the "Dharma-Sastras" and especially of the "Yoga-Sastras" and should reduce the intensity of his egoism and all the other "Klesas" which are derived from it. The difference between the outlook and the life of the ordinary worldly man and the life which the "Yogi" is required to live is so great that a sudden change from the one to the other is not possible and if attempted may produce a violent reaction in the mind of the aspirant, throwing him back with still greater force into the life of the world. A preparatory period of self-training in which he gradually assimilates the "Yogic" philosophy and its technique and accustoms himself to self-discipline makes the transition from the one life to the other easier and safer. It also incidentally enables the mere student to find out whether he is sufficiently keen to adopt the Yogic life and make a serious attempt to realize the "Yogic" ideal. There are too many cases of enthusiastic aspirants who for no apparent reason cool off, or finding the "Yogic" discipline too irksome, give it up. They are not yet ready for the Yogic life."
