Can You Understand Me?

Thousands of years ago,

in the sands of time....

Goddesses were hailed as powerful.

They lived alongside Gods who were both kind and not.

Giving life and happiness to the people of the world.

Today in the present.

We preach tolerance and equality.

But yet.....

Scorned are those who dare claim peace.

Shunned are those who turn to the Goddess.

Hear my plea, I beg you now!

This is not some hollywood silver screen!

Can you hear me?

I'm sure you can.

The way I follow is ancient and powerful.

I find peace in my prayers and knowledge the Goddess brings.

Comfort in knowing I am loved.

The earth is connected to me.

I am connected to it.

everything has a place and all must play a part.

Cast aside your hate that many have taught you.

Listen to me now.....

Can you understand me?

Brain Cramp

School starts this coming Wednesday and I don't think I could be more relieved! It's been a very long and stress filled summer with all the "There's nothing to do's...." So and so took my thing...." and my personal favorite "But I don't want to...."  I figured that since the kids will be going to school I would stretch my brain a little too and look into the subject of Quantum Physics. Oooo, brain cramp coming on!


I watch a lot of educational shows and happened accidentally upon one program that discussed this theory. It got my attention and I thought I would explore this a bit more since I like to approach my spirituality with a little solid science. I've been noticing that science has led to a lot of validation in the pagan/wiccan world because it is our belief that everything is indeed connected.

My view can be summed up in this way: Everything is sacred and alive (that is shares the spark of conciousness or intelligence)  and each part of the universe can communicate with each other part. For example, if a particle in one part of the universe vibrates up and down...somewhere else in the universe another particle begins to vibrate as well but in the opposite direction. That to me alone says there is proof that all are connected.


This theory that two particles coming in contact with each other and continue to affect one another even when separated is called "Bell's Theorum."  Bell thought that when two particles come in contact with each other, they leave a bit of themselves with each other and are not affected by  nuclear forces, gravity or electromagnetism but the contact that the particles had at one time. Hmmm, makes you wanna scratch your head, doesn't it?


This is just a milifraction ( Probably not a real word but it works for me) of the quantum physics topic but I'm going to stop here because later on down the line it's necessary to include calculus and formulas which truly will make my head spin! I hope you found this interesting, at the bottom of this post I have listed a few books on this subject if you want to explore these ideas further.

Tarot Tuesday

The Luman Dreaming In Color deck is not a "traditional" tarot or oracle deck but extremely beautiful and surprisingly accurate. Luman is a combination of the words "light" (lumen) and "angel" (angelus) and uses special visual stimulation with color being it's key to unlock the subconscious mind. This deck is designed to aid in ones intuitive capabilities as well as help release negative thought patterns through meditation

The card that I had my good friend choose is called "Sacrifice," at first glance the connotations of this word can be pretty negative but after looking closer at it one is able to see a deeper, richer meaning. The message of Sacrifice is a message that is delivered straight from the Universe... it tells us of giving, with no expectations of reward or acknowledgement of that giving. In order to accomplish this we must have empathy, for without it, we cannot feel the pain and need of others.

It has always been my firm belief and practice that giving is something that is simply "the right thing to do" and has benefits that far out weigh any material rewards I may or may not glean from this experience. If I have resources that can make circumstances a little less dark for someone I will not hesitate to help. We are all connected in this world and when one suffers, we all suffer. Empathy is the feeling of joy that comes from within when you give to those in need ( time, resources, a good ear to listen with or maybe just a simple hug or kiss to say I care) and see the burden lift from their shoulders...it brings relief, compassion and most importantly...hope.

Let us all put ourselves in someone else's shoes and feel that empathy, share a little bit of ourselves with others and thank the Universe for the great gift of humanity.
