Catholic Beliefs On The Power Of Prayer

BEFORE HE DIED, I spent some time with my Uncle Pete. He lived to a ripe old age and died peacefully this morning. The last time I saw him he was his usual pistol self, a martini in one hand, a war story on his lips. We pray for his soul. Boy, do we pray for it. His war stories were never about the war part of the war. He had been on the supply convoys for the duration. His stories were about the French girls. Lots and lots of them, if he is to be believed. I like to think Uncle Pete is in heaven today with my father (his brother) and Jesus and Mary. But.... He was not sorry about the French girls, as far I as could tell. Which brings me to today's question from a reader:What a timely post! Just yesterday my 7-year-old came home with a rosary from her teacher (she attends a Catholic school.) So last night we sat down with my 10-year-old and said the first decade of the rosary (I didn't want to overwhelm them.) I've been wanting to introduce them to the rosary for the last year but haven't done it. My plan was to start up this summer but I expected resistance. To my great surprise they were very excited and interested. We all took turns leading the prayers and they're excited (as I am) to pray some more. My question is this: How and when do we mention our intention for that recitation. My brother recently died and while I pray about (and to) him often I'd like to pray on his behalf when saying the rosary. Is that something that must be stated at the end of the rosary or at the beginning? When praying with my kids do I have to state that intention out loud or can I say it silently to myself? Can each of us have a different intention when praying? How does all of that work? Also, is there anything strange about chatting with my brother now that he has died? I don't feel like I'm forsaking God and worshiping him rather I feel like I'm having a one-sided telephone call with him. Most of the time I tell him things that I'm thinking about which usually start out, "Dude, you're *never* going to believe this." I'm aware that no one knows for sure, but do you think he hears me? He was ill and bedridden with MS for a very long time and we'd talked about his death. I always told him I expected him to say hi after he died in a dream and that he had to prove it was really him and not just my subconscious mind dreaming about him. He said he'd drop by and while I know it's probably not going to happen I'm still hopeful that he'll let me know in some concrete way. I suppose the bottom line is that I'm not confident in my own spiritual views and I am always looking for someone in the clergy to tell me I'm getting all of this right. Rosary first: have your intention in mind when you begin. You can state it out loud or keep ti to yourself. Everyone can have their own intention, but the rosary is a very powerful tool when a group of people say it together for the same intention, which is true of prayer in general, hence the 'prayer circle'. And the Mass, the Stations of the Cross, religious ceremonies and processions, large group blessings, such as the Blessing of the Animals...you get the drift. And, just to clear things up, I'm not clergy. I'm religious. Only priests are clergy. Having addressed the beginning and end of your questions, let's go for the middle part about your dear departed brother. Our condolences and prayers are with you and his soul. The thing is, we don't know where his soul is right now, unless he's been canonized. Everyone who is dead and in heaven is a saint, but the reason we canonize people is that we have had proof of their arrival in heaven. As a result, the Catholic Church discourages asking for the intercessory prayers of dead friends and relatives. We never pray 'to' anyone but God. But we do ask the Church Triumphant to pray for us, just like we ask one another that favor. I'll ask St. Peter to pray for me, but I won't ask Uncle Pete. I "will" ask St. Peter to pray for Uncle Pete. It isn't remotely strange that you would keep up a one sided conversation with your brother. It's a perfectly fine way to keep him in your thoughts and in your heart. But the rest of it, hoping for dream visit or a "sign"....problematic. Let's not run around with our hair on fire because we wish to reconnect with a loved one. It's not sinful. We just" rather" hope that our "faith" will carry us, that our loved one is indeed in the arms of Jesus, or on his way there. Because, even if he is spending some time with my Uncle Pete and the rest of the Church Suffering in Purgatory, he "will "be going to the arms of Jesus at some point, guaranteed. That's happy news. If he is in Purgatory with my Uncle Pete, rest assured that Uncle Pete has some great stories.

Religion Belief Sneak Peek Of New Masters Plan Book

Prayerfully, the New Year will bring a new little bundle of joy to the LRM family! After considerable time and effort, "Interactive Master Planning" will now have a companion book! Since many people move through the Christmas season and then begin to think about accountability in the New Year, how about a snippet from the section on "Implementation"? IS ACCOUNTABILITY A BIBLICAL PHENOMENON? The church is unusual. The "priesthood of believers" or the "saints called by God to accomplish His ministry" do much of the work. Serving in the church is a very lofty calling. However, (using secular terms) if we consider the bulk of our workforce, that workforce translates into volunteers. Volunteers may have great hearts but sometimes lack full commitment. Most people want to do their assigned tasks well. They want to serve the Lord. However, given the opportunity to postpone or avoid the accomplishment of their ministry tasks, they typically will. This is the unfortunate result of the sinful nature. Leaders MUST set up systems to check that God's goals are being accomplished. In the early implementation stages of the plan, the establishment of precedence is very important. Most workers will take their lead as to whether the process is serious or not based on early reactions to work completed or not completed. Leaders must lovingly exhort those who are falling behind and enthusiastically applaud those who are working according to the plan. All must understand that the work that is being done is important, significant and essential to the accomplishment of the master plan. "ACCOUNTABILITY IS A NATURAL STEP OF THE PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTATION." Peter was called by Jesus Christ to serve as a leader in the Church. However, even Peter was not free to act without accountability. Let's go back to Acts and spend a moment looking at an example of Peter being brought before other church leaders with some strong criticism. In Acts chapter 10, we read of a man named Cornelius. He was a Roman centurion - a very powerful man who was "devout and God-fearing." (In other words, he wasn't Jewish but he was a follower of the teachings of Judaism.) Cornelius had a vision to send for Peter. Peter likewise had a vision. However, this vision involved the eating of animals that Jewish dietary law considered unclean. Peter would not violate that law but he was commanded in the dream to not call anything impure that God considered clean. Peter was trying to figure out this vision when he was commanded by the Spirit to go with men to the house of Cornelius. "THEN GOD MOVED..." Peter shared and the Holy Spirit filled the household of Cornelius. They were all baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ. It was an incredible time of praise and joy! "Then people reacted..." Peter went back to Jerusalem and had to "answer" for what he had done (Acts 11). "Circumcised" believers (meaning they were in outward agreement with the Law) did not agree with Peter going into the house of Cornelius. Although they had heard that the Gentiles had received the Word of God, they were upset that the Law had been "violated." In response, Peter related his vision, the vision of Cornelius and the moving of the Holy Spirit when the Gospel was shared. What happened next? "When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, "So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life. Acts 11:18 Although we might question the underlying motivation of the circumcised believers, there is truly nothing wrong with what they did. It was important for people to understand what God was doing in and through the early church. We can look back and celebrate this incredible gift of a living and active Word that still speaks. God gave His Word so that His people may know of His love and His will. It is the story of His historical dealings with His people. The main premise of the Bible is to reveal to us our need for God and His unconditional willingness to meet that need. We are a sinful people, incapable of accomplishing our own salvation. Jesus Christ was the means through which our salvation was granted. The Bible itself is a tool of accountability, exhorting us to press on. "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. "Hebrews 12: 1 In the Old Testament, the priests and prophets were God's accountability agents. In the New Testament, the disciples were accountable to Jesus and to one another. Leaders today are accountable to Jesus and should be accountable to one another. Implementation will require accountability. On the front end of the planning process, establish time line of accountability. Determine who is accountable to whom and an accepted mechanism for activating that accountability. In most cases, building a system of mutually agreed upon checks and balances initially will keep them from ever having to be used!

Germanic Paganism

So today is my day to post on behalf of Marg at Reading Adventures and Kailana at The Written Word. I thought being Pagan I would post about Yule which is celebrated on the Winter Solstice (the shortest day of the year and longest night). The date varies slightly each year but is usually the 21st or 22nd and this year it is today. Yule was celebrated before the birth of Christianity and many of the traditions have been incorporated into Christian lore. In the Pagan yearly cycle (called The Wheel by many) this is the time of the year that the Sun God is reborn (at midnight as the year turns and the days begin to get longer again). At thetime the wheel turns and begins it's cycle again. Another tradition is theat the year is ruled by two Kings. The Holly King rules the waning year (from summer solstice to winter solstice) and the Oak King rules the waxing year (from winter solstice to summer solstice). Holly is used as a decoration at Yule to depict the out going Holly King, usually in the form of a wreath, hung upon the door. Also a Yule Log is brought in (today in the form of a cake) to celebrate his rebirth as Oak King. Mistletoe (sacred to the Sun) is used to invoke fertility and the healing powers of the increasing Sun. Sacred trees are decorated with offerings (the Christmas tree). It is a time of gift giving and thanks giving to the Goddess and God for the gifts that they will bring to us. At the turning of the year, Yule is a time of awakening to new goals and leaving old regrets behind. I will be celebrating tonight by staying up to watch the sun rise and greet the new Winter King. Tonight is the night I will make any resolutions and set my personal targets for 2010.

I wish you all a Blessed Yule.

The Queen Of The Fairies Kidnaps Her Brother

Rating : 4.5/5 Number of Pages : 320 Number in Series : #1 Tiffany Aching SeriesReason for Reading : Young Adult Challenge, First in a Series Challenge, Once Upon a Time II Challenge In this the first book in the Tiffany Aching series, we are introduced to nine year old Tiffany who wants to be a witch. It is set on the Discworld. Witches have been outlawed in the Chalk where she lives since her grandmother, Granny Aching died and the Baron's son went missing. An elderly lady was blamed for having killed him by pushing her into her oven which Tiffany is highly doubtful of considering it is tiny (yes she measured it). She was very close to Granny Aching who was a shepherd with two sheep dogs, Thunder and Lightening. She died in her own home and it was Tiffany who discovered her body. Not too long after her death Tiffany is down by the river with her sticky and whiney younger brother Wentworth. She hears voices and two strange tiny blue creatures sail past warning her about something in the water. A monster appears and Tiffany manages to save her brother. She ponders the events of the day and uses her brother as bait so she can beat the monster (Jennie Green-Teeth) with a frying pan. This seems to confirm to the creatures that she is "the hag" and they set about doing odd jobs for her. The creatures turn out to be the Nac Mac Feegle (the Wee Free Men), notorious drunks, thieves and liars who claim no master. When the Queen of the Fairies kidnaps her brother she joins forces with the Feegles to go into fairy land and rescue him. Cue a journey into something quite different to the usual tales of the fairies, where lots of adventures are had. Tiffany recieves guidance from a witch (Miss Tick) and her toad familiar and at the end some of the other witches from the Discworld make a welcome appearence. I am a little hit and miss with the adult Discworld books and I was pleasantly surprised when I really enjoyed this from the outset. Tiffany made for a great central character and I love the headology/witchcraft lessons she learns along her journey. The Nac Mac Feegle were a lot of fun and I look forward to reading the next in the series and seeing what else will befall Tiffany as she learns the ropes of being a witch.

Religion In The United Kingdom

When robed Druids gather at Stonehenge for the summer solstice in 2011, they will be worshipping at the prehistoric stone-circle monument for the first time as members of an established religion under British charity law. The classification means members of the ancient pagan tradition, which some see as a curiosity of Britain's ancient past, have mainstream status equal to the Church of England. The change of status, which is controversial, gives them tax advantages. Opponents of the change of status regard it as a mistake made for the sake of political correctness by a government agency, the Charity Commission. The see it as the first step to recognition of Scientology, sorcery, witchcraft or even the Jedi as religions eligible for tax-exempt status. The 2001 census recorded the country as having some 390,127 Jedi, the fictional Star Wars religion, in England and Wales. After a four-year campaign by the Druids, the Charity Commission says it accepts that they worship nature and believe in the spirits of places such as mountains and rivers, as well as in divine guides. Druids are best known for the gathering at Stonehenge each year on Jun 21 to greet the dawn, but they hold festivals eight times a year to mark stages in the solar and lunar cycles. Encyclopedia Britannica describes the ancient Druids as members of the learned class among the Celts. They do not worship a single god or creator, but seek to cultivate a sacred relationship with the natural world. The earliest known records of the Druids come from the 3rd Century BC

The Burning Candle Flame Is Releasing The Energy

7 day jar candles can be a great way for beginners to begin to break into the craft. Quick and easy to use these ritual candles are capable of bringing about ones desires pretty quickly if they are used properly. 7 Day jar candles come in all different makes and sizes including beeswax, soy, and plain paraffin wax. The common element in all jar candles is that the wax is self contained within a glass jar that not only keeps the wax from spilling out and making a mess when being burned but it also allows the candle to stay safely lit for several days in a row. 7 day jar candles can be used as a compliment with your other ritual tools or it can be used as a stand alone tool for a single ritual or spell. 7 day jar candles do come in various different flavors and intents such as for love, protection, energy release, astral travel, and many others. There is no set restriction in using a 7 day jar candle and an individual can use them in several different ways. We will explain two of the more common methods for using these ritual candles in a ritual or spell.

7 Day Jar Candle Ritual Examples:

The first easier method to use a 7 day jar candle is to sit Indian style on the floor while having the candle placed in front of you about arms length away. Light the candle using your own symbolic meaning and once lit close your eyes and begin to meditate on your intention. If for example your ritual is for a new love then begin to imagine and FEEL the feelings of love and joy you would have being with another person in a happy relationship. It is important that the images you project within your mind are clear and strong and that feelings you radiate are POWERFUL. Meditate in this fashion for 10-20 minutes and when you feel the energy coursing through you open your eyes and begin to stare into the candle flame once again imagining those images within your mind and feeling those feelings you would have. As you stare into the flame place your hands gently on either side of the 7 day jar candle so that your palms are flat against the glass container. Begin to transfer your energies from yourself through your body, into your hands, and then into the candle itself. This transfer of energy will ensure that candle is charged and while it burns it will release that contained energy that you have transferred into the candle. After several minutes of transferring your energy remove your hands and once again close your eyes. Begin your own way and methods of closing out your ritual and dispersing the energy that you built up during the ritual from your body. Do NOT snuff out the candle and be sure that it remains lit. Pick up the lit jar candle and place it somewhere safe so that it will not topple or fall over such as a high dresser with a flat surface. Keep the candle lit for seven straight days and try to ensure that it does not snuff out as the burning candle flame is releasing the energy you placed into the candle slowly over those seven days. After seven days you can safely snuff out the flame of the candle and once that is done we would suggest that you wrap the candle in a dark cloth so it is completely covered and either store it away some where safe or you can bury it into the earth some where such as your back yard. The other method for a 7 day jar candle is to perform the ritual as we described above but instead of keeping it lit for seven straight days you will perform this example ritual every night for seven straight days snuffing out the flame after each ritual. Therefor you would perform the above ritual and when you are finished you would snuff out the flame. The next night you would repeat this process and keep doing so until it has been seven days in a row. Some things to watch out for while your 7 day jar candle is lit is the following: If your candle is burning very quickly then this means that the energy you placed into the candle is extremely strong and it is quickly burning through the candle. This is not bad, this just means that the energy is being released faster and will come back to you more quickly as well (typically within two weeks). If the candle is being burned slowly this means that the energy is being released slowly and evenly and will come back around to you gently and over time (typically within 30-60 days) If the jar of the candle cracks while it is lit then this is a very bad sign and means that something went wrong during the ritual. If this happen you MUST remove the candle from your home and bury it immediately as the candle has been tainted with negative energy and if you leave it in your home it could bring about that negative energy onto you. 7 day jar candles can certainly aid you in many ways. And with so many different candles to choose from you certainly will not run out of any ideas on how to use them as they can be used for almost any situation in your life.

Hoodoo Low John Root

Known by a wide variety of names including Little John to Chew and Chewing John, and even Court Case Root, Low John is the common name for what others refer to as Galangal. It has been utilized often in oriental cuisines, most famously perhaps in Tom Yum Soup and Dtom Kha Gai, and in the raw form Low John root offers a smell quite similar to that of citrus fruit, with other earthy fragrances reaching ones senses as well. Within some portions of Southeast Asia and Indonesia it is also used as a tonic for soothing stomachs. In Hoodoo, where Low John is most frequently known and utilized, Low John is viewed as a powerful component in seeking favor in court cases, as you might have guessed by its other alias of Court Case Root. Therein it is frequently viewed to help sway justice to your side. Otherwise, it has also seen a great deal of use in money drawing spells, spells that protect and break hexes and curses, and even sex and psychic magic. This is a 1 oz packet of Low John Root.

Low John Root Specifications:

1 oz size Comes in sealed plastic bag

Summoning Stronghold Long Lost To Where No Pathway

SUMMONING

STRONGHOLD

Long Lost to Where No Pathway Goes

My star, I saw it high and far At the parting of the ways A light on the edge of the outer night Like silver set ablaze Where the round world plunges steeply down But on the old roads goes As an unseen bridge that on arches runs To coasts that no man knows Refrain I would not find the burning domes and sands Where reigns the sun, nor dare the deadly snows Nor seek in mountains dark the hidden lands Of men long lost to whom no pathway goes But where they bloom those flowers fair In what air or land they grow What words beyond the world I heard If you would seek for know In a boat then, brother, far afloat You must labour in the sea And find yourself things out of mind: You will learn no more of me Refrain I would not find the burning domes and sands Where reigns the sun, nor dare the deadly snows Nor seek in mountains dark the hidden lands Of men long lost to whom no pathway goes

The Glory Disappears

Yet, if the wind breathe soft, the curling waves That break against the shore, shall lull my mind And scorn against all enemies prepared And with the food of pride sustained my soul In solitude Sad was I, to pain depressed Importunate and heavy load My destiny has found me here Upon this lonely road And many thousands now are sad Wait the fulfilment of their fear For I must die who is their stay Their glory disappears Now I am dead and gone, my friend Lifes pain has come to end Your star will guide my soul To ride the winds above

Like Some Snow-white Marble Eyes

How countless they congregate Oer our tumultuous snow Which flows in shapes as tall as trees When wintry winds do blow As if with keenness for our fate Our faltering few steps on To white rest, and a place of rest Invisible at dawn And yet with neither love nor hate Those stars like some snow-white Morgoth snow-white marble eyes Without the gift of sight Upon this star I fixed my eye All over the wide land My horse moved on, hoof after hoof He raised and never stopped When down behind the cottage roof At once the planet dropped

Where Hope and Daylight Die

Still here I wake and I think of you I see you far away Answer my call Can you hear my voice I hear you For we are gone and forever lost Broken here I lie Beneath the shadow sink Where daylight dies I wake for you In better lands the sun may shine And green leaves on trees spring Their opening and blossoming But here the raven sing But still I stand and think of Days when grass was green And my heart was so young They ve never been Past Forever lost

The Rotting Horse on the Deadly Ground

Wars of great kings and clash of armouries Whose swords no man could tell, whose spears Were numerous as wheat fields ears Rolled over all the great lands, and seas Were loud with navies, their devouring fires Behind the armies burned both fields and towns And sacked and crumbled or to flaming pyres Were cities made, where treasuries and crowns Kings and their folk, their wives and tender maids Were all consumed. Now silent are those courts Ruined the towers, whose old shape slowly fades And no feet pass beneath their broken ports I need no call of clamant bell that rings Iron tongued in the towers of earthly kings Take a ride on, ride on, on your rotting horse on that deadly ground Take a ride, ride on, on your rotting horse with a pounding sound. Here on the stones and trees there lies a spell Of unforgotten loss, of memories more blest than mortal wealth. Here undefeated dwell the fog immortal under withered elmes, Alalminore one in ancient realms

The Shadow Lies Frozen on the Hills

Farewell we call to the earth and hall Though wind may blow so fast rain may fall We must away ere break of day For over wood, tree and mountain tall. With foes ahead, behind us dread Beneath the skys our bed Until at last our toil be passed Our journeys done with sped Beneath the moon and under a tall star I wandered so far from northern lands Bewildered on enchanting charming ways So far from the days of mortal lands From gashing of the narrow ice so near Where shadows lie frozen on the hills top From neither heats and burning glowing waste Im turning in haste and fear.

The Loud Music of the Sky

What I am, I must not show What I am thou could (not know) Something between heaven and hell Something that neither stood nor fell Something that through thy wit or will May work thee good, may work thee ill Neither substance quite, nor shadow Haunting lonely moor and meadow Dancing by the haunted spring Riding on the whirlwinds wing Far less happy, for we have Help nor hope beyond the grave Man awakes to joy or sorrow Ours the sleep that knows no morrow This is all that I can show This is all that you may know A year there is a lifetime And a second but a day And an older would will meet you Each morn you come away The thunders noise is our delight And lightning makes us day by night And in the air we dance on high To the loud music of the sky

A Distant Flame Before the Sun

I sit beside the fire and think Of how the world will be When winter comes without a spring That I shall ever see I sit beside the fire and think Of people long ago And people who will see a world that I shall never know I sit beside the fire and think Of older times that were before I listen for returning feet And voices at my door

Wicca Wiccan Spells Is There Difference

Wiccan Spells: Is There A Difference? I hear people talk about Wicca as if it is synonymous with witchcraft. I want to offer a clear distinction here. As it is great that Wicca is becoming a more widely used and acceptable term. It does not seem to conjour up the same mistrust and misinformation as the word 'witchcraft' does. Wicca and Witchcraft are two separate entities that are compatible with each other. In plainer english. You can be Wiccan and not be practicing witchcraft. You can practice Witchcraft and not be Wiccan. You can be both and you can be neither. Many Wiccans (as part of the pagan religion known as Wicca) do infact practice witchcraft. And they do have spells that originate from Wicca practices. Hence why they are called Wiccan Spells or Wicca Spells. Now some witchcraft spells may get called Wiccan spells simply by default - as you associate wicca with the craft. OK - so has that cleared a few things up :-) How about then a Free Wiccan Spell for you to practice with? Here's a lovely Wiccan Spell for Peace and Harmony

Items needed:

* Rose quartz * A Mirror * A Pink Candle Light the pink candle and place it in front of the mirror. Holding the rose quartz in your hands, gaze at the flame reflected in the mirror and chant the following: O blessed and reflected light Bring to me peace this night Let my mind and heart be free And filled with love and harmony Look past the flame into the mirror. Try to see which negative elements are affecting you at the moment, that you would like to remove from your mind, heart and life. See them begin to be drawn into the candle flame and then into the mirror. Then when you feel ready, place the mirror face down. Allow the candle to burn for one hour and then snuff it out. Clean the mirror in salt water and repeat whenever you feel this is necessary :-) If you would like some Free Wiccan Spells then please go here

Hoodoo Magickal Floor Washes

Floorwashes are an integral component of the Hoodoo and Conjure magical traditions. They combine actual physical house cleaning with spiritual and magical work, effectively killing two birds with one stone. They are potent yet discreet and perhaps the single most effective use of multi-tasking within magic. Although the liquid is called floorwash, technically it refers to the final rinse used to clean a floor or other interior surfaces. It should not be removed but allowed to air-dry, so that its power radiates into the surrounding atmosphere. In other words, the floor should be clean "BEFORE" applying the floor wash. The radiant power of the botanicals is what is crucial: floorwashes are a component of many spells for a variety of purposes, including protection and romance, in addition to their obvious value as a space cleansing device. A floor wash is made by adding specifically chosen herbs, oils, crystals, and other ingredients to water and then using the solution to wash a surface. The reasoning behind this practice is to infuse the surface with the vibrations of the wash, so that it will then attract or dispel the corresponding energies. For example, if you were owed payment for services and the check was late, you might want to wash your mail box with a money-drawing wash. There are two standard methods of making a floorwash. Choose which suits you: * "Fill a bucket with warm water. Add the magical infusion together with some white vinegar. " * "Create the infusion and pour it into an empty bucket. Pour enough boiling salted water over it to fill the bucket. Add some white vinegar." Traditional methods call for you to scrub the floor on your hands and knees. The repetitive motion and low concentration level needed allow for a shift in consciousness to take place. Incorporating a chant as you wash will boost the powers of the wash and help your goal to manifest even faster. Remember to be as specific as possible in the wording of your chant.

Ancient Greek Religion

A tiny group of worshippers plans a rare ceremony Sunday (21st January, 2007) to honor the ancient Greek gods, at Athens' 1,800-year-old Temple of Olympian Zeus. Greece's Culture Ministry has declared the central Athens site off-limits, but worshippers say they will defy the decision. "These are our temples and they should be used by followers of our religion," said Doreta Peppa, head of the Athens-based Ellinais, a group campaigning to revive the ancient religion. "Of course we will go ahead with the event... we will enter the site legally," said Peppa, who calls herself a high priestess of the revived faith. "We will issue a call for peace, who can be opposed to that?" Peppa said the ceremony will be held in honor of Zeus, king of the ancient gods, but did not give other details. The daily Ethnos newspaper, citing the group's application to the Culture Ministry to use the site, said the 90-minute event would include hymns, dancers, torchbearers, and worshippers in ancient costumes. Greece's archaic religion is believed to have several hundred official followers, mainly middle-aged and elderly academics, lawyers and other professionals. Ancient rituals are re-enacted every two years at Olympia, in southern Greece, where the flame lighting ceremony is held for the summer and winter Olympic games. But the event is not regarded as a religious ceremony and actresses are used to pose as high priestesses. Peppa's group, dedicated to reviving worship of the 12 ancient gods, was founded last year and won a court battle for official state recognition of the ancient Greek religion. Those who seek to revive the ancient Greek religion are split into rival organizations which trade insults over the Internet. Peppa's group is at odds with ultra-nationalists who view a revival as a way to protect Greek identity from foreign influences. On naming the religion: One camp calls it Ancient-Religion, another Hellenic Religion. The worshippers also face another obstacle: Greece's powerful Orthodox Church. About 97 percent of native born Greeks are baptized Orthodox Christian, and the church regards ancient religious practices as pagan. Representatives of the church in the past have not attended flame ceremonies at Olympia because reference is made to Apollo, the ancient god of music and light. Christianity took hold in Greece in the 4th century after Roman Emperor Constantine's conversion. Emperor Theodosius wiped out the last vestige of the Olympian gods when he abolished the Olympic Games in 394 A.D. The modern revival of the Olympiad maintains a slender link to ancient ceremonies. "Christianity did not prevail without bloodshed," said Peppa, a novelist and historical writer. "After 16 centuries of negativity toward us, we've gotten something in our favor." Ellinais is demanding government approval for its downtown offices to be registered as a place of worship - a move that could allow the group to perform weddings and other ceremonies. They threaten further court action unless that permission is granted. "There should be respect for people who want to express their religious feelings in a different way, that is not the typical Orthodox or Christian way," Peppa said. "We should not be stopped or denied our rights." via: kutv, salt lake city[+] Please visit MysticSaint.Info For full multimedia experience and enjoy special music.

Charm Of The Oak Spell

This spell is intended as a way to connect to the deep wisdom and knowledge embodied in the oak tree. It's a more spiritual and somewhat intangible spell than most others. All you need is: o 4 acorns o Small bag of brown fabric o Patchouli oil o A brown or green candle Best if you can collect the acorns yourself. Anoint the candle and the acorns with oil, and light the candle. While you hold the acorns in your hands, repeat the following: Sacred oak Blessed seed Growth and wisdom Mine indeed Visualize a mighty oak tree, and all the things it may have to teach you. Place the acorns in the bag, and leave it near the candle. Let the candle burn out on its own, and leave the bag somewhere where you will see it every day. Opportunities to gain new knowledge will soon present themselves.
