Our Lady's Prayer Circle
 
We did hold a sweatlodge here and it was a just the right thing to do
for our 2nd year anniversary.  On Winter Solstice 2005 Barbara Westlake in Shasta joined us throughout our visionquest retreat and it was there that we knew we were to do a prayer circle starting that next month on the 13th of very month.  I had never done a prayer circle ever in my life so the only way in which I knew was to follow the pathway of the sweatlodge and so on January 13th we opened the first Prayer circle in Barbara's yoga studio.  Another year and so many changes.  My thoughts and intentions are with you always and I hope you will feel free to share and keep in touch with all you feel ocmfortable to share and contribute.  If not to all then just to me.  I am so grateful that your pure love and hearts have trusted me so to be so a part of this beautiful circle fo Light that Louis in Canada calls it.  I am an ordained minister in California and here in Hawaii and I've facilitatle many a wedding and ceremony I want to share that I plan on being part of the transitional process as well into the next life.  It was something I was so afraid to do, yet long ago I had a very powerful spiritual shaman in my life and that was all that he concentrated on.  I didn't feel that I could handle it.  But since my studied in Philosophy and coincidentally Barbara's passing I can only have the love and compassion to do so.  Many prayers are focused towards the suffering and terminal.  I am making arrangements to visit the hospitals here to be a small part in such a needed assistence.  So I ask for your prayers that I venture in the purity of the Divine.  Thank you.

Love is such a wonderful thing.  Our message from the Star
Mandalas on our Imbolc/Festival of Lights Ceremony on the 2nd of February was of Love... It's symbol is the chalice.  I will post a fitting
Valentines Day message.

Love, number 9 "Share with those you Love."
Love for one another, for oneself, or for something.  You have become filled with passion, and intense desires.  You are faced to confront the power of your will and your instincts.  This challenge of love has called you to make some choices involving your values.  Look carefully at the possible results of your actions and be prepared to accept your choices. Above all, share your concerns with your inner spirit, and move in the light of guidence so you will not become too anxious of moving too slow or too fast.  Share with those closest to you and enjoy this time of awakening passion to creative energy.  Go to Love, with love.

Stonehenge Excavation

A major excavation of Stonehenge was started on March 31st. It is the first time since the 1960s that such major work has been undertaken. Archaeological techniques are more advanced, the approach and enlightened. It is hoped that a greater understanding of the origins, construction, function and purpose of this site will be gained. It may also reveal more about the people who built it.

The most moving and extraordinary part of this exciting story is that a party of Druids were invited to bless the work, and the officials and archaeologists leading the project took part in the ceremony. The Druid’s called upon the spirits of the sacred land to accept the excavation and yield their secrets willingly to the archaeologists , whom they called ‘explorers’. The Druids said they were in favour of the work and asked the spirits not to resist or see it as a violation. The Chief Druid’s words were perfectly pitched, and can be seen here:

How far we have come! Up to ten years ago, there would have been a riot, with protesters screaming ‘rape’, countered by extreme over-reaction by the police.

This was a perfect example of how all sides can work together, seeing each other as a continuum, not polar opposites. If only Carter and Carnarvon had thought to ask the sprits and ancestors for permission to open the tomb!

The BBC Timewatch Site has news and videos for everyday of the excavation, and a treasure trove of information besides.

Iseum of Isis Navigatum
 
Goddess is a huge inclusive umbrella we can all stand under shoulder to shoulder, but She watches out for the many, rather than the few.  She doesn't say have no other god but her and there is only ONE WAY.  Think of the blood shed that saves!  As a social and political ideal, the Sacred Feminine way of thinking could really make our world a better place.
