~ Wheel of theYear ~
Based on agricultural, solar, and seasonal cycles the Pagan Wheel
of the Year consists of eight perpetual spokes. Each spoke represents a
point of transition as the wheel continues its eternal movement through
the universe. The quarter days mark the seasonal solstices and
equinoxes. The cross-quarter divisions mark the agrarian
celebrations.

All Hallow's Eve
by
Glenn "SpaarHawk" McGinty
Halloween.
Sly does it. Tiptoe catspaws. Slide and creep.
But
why? What for? How? Who? When! Where did it all begin?
'You don't know,
do you?' asks Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud climbing out
under the pile
of leaves under the Halloween Tree. 'You don't REALLY know!'
--Ray
Bradbury
from 'The Halloween Tree'
Samhain. All Hallows. All Hallow's Eve. Hallow E'en. Halloween. The
most magical night of the year. Exactly opposite Beltane on the wheel of
the year, Halloween is Beltane's dark twin. A night of glowing
jack-o-lanterns, bobbing for apples, tricks or treats, and dressing in
costume. A night of ghost stories and seances, tarot card readings and
scrying with mirrors. A night of power, when the veil that separates our
world from the Otherworld is at its thinnest. A 'spirit night', as they
say in Wales.
All Hallow's Eve is the eve of All Hallow's Day
(November 1st). And for once, even popular tradition remembers that the
Eve is more important than the Day itself, the traditional celebration
focusing on October 31st, beginning at sundown. And this seems only
fitting for the great Celtic New Year's festival. Not that the holiday was
Celtic only. In fact, it is startling how many ancient and unconnected
cultures (the Egyptians and pre-Spanish Mexicans, for example) celebrated
this as a festival of the dead. But the majority of our modern traditions
can be traced to the British Isles.
The Celts called it Samhain,
which means 'summer's end', according to their ancient two-fold division
of the year, when summer ran from Beltane to Samhain and winter ran from
Samhain to Beltane. (Some modern Covens echo this structure by letting the
High Priest 'rule' the Coven beginning on Samhain, with rulership returned
to the High Priestess at Beltane.) According to the later four-fold
division of the year, Samhain is seen as 'autumn's end' and the beginning
of winter. Samhain is pronounced (depending on where you're from) as
'sow-in' (in Ireland), or 'sow-een' (in Wales), or 'sav-en' (in Scotland),
or (inevitably) 'sam-hane' (in the U.S., where we don't speak
Gaelic).
Not only is Samhain the end of autumn; it is also, more
importantly, the end of the old year and the beginning of the new. Celtic
New Year's Eve, when the new year begins with the onset of the dark phase
of the year, just as the new day begins at sundown. There are many
representations of Celtic gods with two faces, and it surely must have
been one of them who held sway over Samhain. Like his Greek counterpart
Janus, he would straddle the threshold, one face turned toward the past in
commemoration of those who died during the last year, and one face gazing
hopefully toward the future, mystic eyes attempting to pierce the veil and
divine what the coming year holds. These two themes, celebrating the dead
and divining the future, are inexorably intertwined in Samhain, as they
are likely to be in any New Year's celebration.
As a feast of the
dead, it was believed the dead could, if they wished, return to the land
of the living for this one night, to celebrate with their family, tribe,
or clan. And so the great burial mounds of Ireland (sidh mounds) were
opened up, with lighted torches lining the walls, so the dead could find
their way. Extra places were set at the table and food set out for any who
had died that year. And there are many stories that tell of Irish heroes
making raids on the Underworld while the gates of faery stood open, though
all must return to their appointed places by cock-crow.
As a feast
of divination, this was the night par excellence for peering into the
future. The reason for this has to do with the Celtic view of time. In a
culture that uses a linear concept of time, like our modern one, New
Year's Eve is simply a milestone on a very long road that stretches in a
straight line from birth to death. Thus, the New Year's festival is a part
of time. The ancient Celtic view of time, however, is cyclical. And in
this framework, New Year's Eve represents a point outside of time, when
the natural order of the universe dissolves back into primordial chaos,
preparatory to re-establishing itself in a new order. Thus, Samhain is a
night that exists outside of time and hence it may be used to view any
other point in time. At no other holiday is a tarot card reading, crystal
reading, or tea-leaf reading so likely to succeed.
The Christian
religion, with its emphasis on the 'historical' Christ and his act of
redemption 2000 years ago, is forced into a linear view of time, where
'seeing the future' is an illogical proposition. In fact, from the
Christian perspective, any attempt to do so is seen as inherently evil.
This did not keep the medieval Church from co-opting Samhain's other
motif, commemoration of the dead. To the Church, however, it could never
be a feast for all the dead, but only the blessed dead, all those hallowed
(made holy) by obedience to God - thus, All Hallow's, or Hallowmas, later
All Saints and All Souls.
There are so many types of divination
that are traditional to Hallowstide, it is possible to mention only a few.
Girls were told to place hazel nuts along the front of the firegrate, each
one to symbolize one of her suitors. She could then divine her future
husband by chanting, 'If you love me, pop and fly; if you hate me, burn
and die.' Several methods used the apple, that most popular of Halloween
fruits. You should slice an apple through the equator (to reveal the
five-pointed star within) and then eat it by candlelight before a
mirror.
Your future spouse will then appear over your shoulder. Or,
peel an apple, making sure the peeling comes off in one long strand,
reciting, 'I pare this apple round and round again; / My sweetheart's name
to flourish on the plain: / I fling the unbroken paring o'er my head, / My
sweetheart's letter on the ground to read.' Or, you might set a snail to
crawl through the ashes of your hearth. The considerate little creature
will then spell out the initial letter as it moves.
Perhaps the
most famous icon of the holiday is the jack-o-lantern. Various authorities
attribute it to either Scottish or Irish origin. However, it seems clear
that it was used as a lantern by people who traveled the road this night,
the scary face to frighten away spirits or faeries who might otherwise
lead one astray. Set on porches and in windows, they cast the same spell
of protection over the household. (The American pumpkin seems to have
forever superseded the European gourd as the jack-o-lantern of choice.)
Bobbing for apples may well represent the remnants of a Pagan 'baptism'
rite called a 'seining', according to some writers. The water-filled tub
is a latter-day Cauldron of Regeneration, into which the novice's head is
immersed. The fact that the participant in this folk game was usually
blindfolded with hands tied behind the back also puts one in mind of a
traditional Craft initiation ceremony.
The custom of dressing in
costume and 'trick-or-treating' is of Celtic origin with survivals
particularly strong in Scotland. However, there are some important
differences from the modern version. In the first place, the custom was
not relegated to children, but was actively indulged in by adults as well.
Also, the 'treat' which was required was often one of spirits (the liquid
variety). This has recently been revived by college students who go
'trick-or-drinking'. And in ancient times, the roving bands would sing
seasonal carols from house to house, making the tradition very similar to
Yuletide wassailing. In fact, the custom known as 'caroling', now
connected exclusively with mid-winter, was once practiced at all the major
holidays. Finally, in Scotland at least, the tradition of dressing in
costume consisted almost exclusively of cross-dressing (i.e., men dressing
as women, and women as men). It seems as though ancient societies provided
an opportunity for people to 'try on' the role of the opposite gender for
one night of the year. (Although in Scotland, this is admittedly less
dramatic - but more confusing - since men were in the habit of wearing
skirt-like kilts anyway. Oh well...)
To Witches, Halloween is one
of the four High Holidays, or Greater Sabbats, or cross-quarter days.
Because it is the most important holiday of the year, it is sometimes
called 'THE Great Sabbat.' It is an ironic fact that the newer,
self-created Covens tend to use the older name of the holiday, Samhain,
which they have discovered through modern research. While the older
hereditary and traditional Covens often use the newer name, Halloween,
which has been handed down through oral tradition within their Coven.
(This often holds true for the names of the other holidays, as well. One
may often get an indication of a Coven's antiquity by noting what names it
uses for the holidays.)
With such an important holiday, Witches
often hold three distinct celebrations. First, a large Halloween party for
non-Craft friends, often held on the previous weekend. Second, an
all-inclusive celebration called a “Witches Ball”, and third, a Coven
ritual held on Halloween night itself, late enough so as not to be
interrupted by trick-or-treaters. If the rituals are performed properly,
there is often the feeling of invisible friends taking part in the rites.
Another date which may be utilized in planning celebrations is the actual
cross-quarter day, or Old Halloween, or Halloween O.S. (Old Style). This
occurs when the sun has reached 15 degrees Scorpio, an astrological 'power
point' symbolized by the Eagle. The celebration would begin at sunset.
Interestingly, this date (Old Halloween) was also appropriated by the
Church as the holiday of Martinmas.
Of all the Witchcraft holidays,
Halloween is the only one that still boasts anything near to popular
celebration. Even though it is typically relegated to children (and the
young-at-heart) and observed as an evening affair only, many of its
traditions are firmly rooted in Paganism. Incidentally, some schools have
recently attempted to abolish Halloween parties on the grounds that it
violates the separation of state and religion. Speaking as a Pagan, I
would be saddened by the success of this move, but as a supporter of the
concept of religion-free public education, I fear I must concede the
point. Nonetheless, it seems only right that there should be one night of
the year when our minds are turned toward thoughts of the supernatural. A
night when both Pagans and non-Pagans may ponder the mysteries of the
Otherworld and its inhabitants. And if you are one of them, may all your
jack-o'lanterns burn bright on this All Hallow's
Eve.

Due
to increasing responsibilities of the rapidly growing Tomes and Shadow /
Light Harmonics projects we are recruiting a writer for this column. If
you are an professional astrologer and would like to write for Ancestral
Coalescence please contact us right away. It is a great means of exposure
for your astrology business.
The
art of Astrology is much, much more than the 12 zodiac sings of the solar
horoscope most are familiar with. We use highly sophisticated SolarFire
software in our chart interpretations and calculations. Our beautiful,
hand bound charts and reports are available to order online through the
website (as well as email services). Personal consultation is also
available upon request.
The Element Encyclopedia of the PsychicWorld is used here
for general descriptions. If you would like to purchase this source for
yourself, please use the Affiliates
page on the main website.
The relevant signs that lie between Mabon and Samhain
are:
Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)
"The
symbol of Scorpio is the scorpion and the sign's ruling planets are Mars
and Pluto. Scorpios are influenced by the water element and intense is a
good word to describe them. Those born under Scorpio tend to be
passionate, focused, sensitive and sensual, but they can also be secretive
and destructive" (Cheung, 2006).
~
Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21)
"The
symbol for Sagittarius is the archer and Jupiter is the ruling planet.
Sagittarians are influenced by the fire element and open minded is a good
description of them. Those born under Sagittarius tend to be
unconventional, idealistic and visionary, with a need to seek spiritual
enlightenment. They can also be reckless and ruthless" (Cheung,
2006).
~ Celtic Tree Astrology ~
The
13-sign lunar zodiac of the ancient Druids is the feature in this column.
Each full moon of the year corresponds to a sacred tree. The following
trees are relevant during the time span between Mabon and Samhain. The

The Reed (Ngetal)
Oct 28 - Nov 24
The Fire Festival of Samhain
Celtic Symbol: The White Hound or the
Stone.
Ruling Planet: Pluto - Pwyll.
Ancient Celtic Deities: Dis, Pwyll, Arawn.
Character Reference of Those Born of the Reed
Sign: "Reed characters are the duality aspect of the Ivy sign.
Persephone and Pluto form a unifying aspect of the psyche which
nevertheless is full of drama and passion. People born at this time have a
powerful personal presence similar to the Ivy people, the difference being
that Reed people are more forceful and less inclined to compromise, for
they have a role to play which excludes any signs of weakness or the
luxury of sitting on the fence. They act like catalysts rather than
competitors in life, and they are more concerned with changing the whole
formula of life rather than certain aspects of it..." (Paterson,
1995).

The Elder (Ruis)
Nov 25 - Dec 22
The Winter Solstice (Alban Arthuan)
Celtic Symbol: The Black Horse or the
Raven.
Ruling Planet: Saturn - Sadorn
Ancient Celtic Deities: Pryderi,
Bran.
Character Reference of Those Born of the Elder Tree
Sign: "Elder Tree characters evolve gradually during their
lifetimes. Initially in their youth they are inclined to waste much time
and energy on worthless ventures or projects. They are often fortunate or
benefit from inheritances which encourage extravagant tastes or
indulgences. They have a basic restlessness or an insatiable curiosity
that draws them into the study of profound subjects, and they are inclined
to travel great distances in order to further their knowledge..."
(Paterson, 1995).

~ Gnosis ~
Here at Ancestral Coalescence we use the word "gnosis"
to refer to the inner "knowing" and awareness we all have
inherent within us. Please do not confuse our approach with
the increasingly popular buzz words "gnostic" or "gnosticism."
Unfortunately, these words have begun to take on some
connotations we prefer to refrain from. Dogmatic approaches
and institutionalization of gnosis is gaining momentum. And
historically, gnosis has taken some severe hits
also.
As a new area to the website, Gnosis will be expanded
upon over the next several months.
One of our sponsorship projects relates to the work of
Philip Gardiner. He has a number of books and videos out
concerning his research including the area of Gnosis. A brand
new video still in production is Ancient Code. It is due to be
released to the public around the end of 2008. We will keep
you updated as information in released. For more information
click on the banner below.
~ Esoterica ~
Esoterica is another new column to the newsletter. As
we make the shift to a more awareness centered format, the
former columns of Astrology, Numerology, Tarot, etc. will be
rolled into this column. We plan to cover some of the more in
depth areas of these topics as opposed to the familiar
entertainment perspectives in the mainstream.
Here at Ancestral Coalescence our dedication is to the
awakening, awareness, and preparedness process we are
experiencing on many levels - mind, body, and spirit. It is
our core understanding that the Natural Laws and basic
Universal Structures have been purposely infiltrated and
corrupted, leaving in its wake an adulterated version of the
Universal Truths.
Through the study of Esoterica and honing our critical
inner gnosis we will present a path to the simple Truths. We
will tease away each layer of deceit. Deceit wrought through
intentional, unintentional, and best intentional
means.
As the veils of deception dissipate and the light of
truth shines thru massive piles of dirt will be revealed. Much
of this dirt will be difficult to comprehend and it will be
tempting to disregard the truth and slip back into the chains
of denial.
All manner of emotion will ensue as the grieving
process is activated. Birth is not without change. Change is
not without death. Death is not without grief. Old ways of
seeing and thinking will be challenged.
We only ask you be gentle with yourself through this
process. Do not deny the shadow emotions that emerge. Instead
analyze them. Allow them to motivate you. Allow them to
transform into the natural catalyst they are meant to become.
This is one of the basic alchemical processes so many have
misplaced.
Welcome to your awakening and may Truth be with
you.
~
The final and fifth point on "their" eight-year ritual
cycle will coincide with the next Venus alignment. The date to
be aware of, if they remain true to their schedule, will be
December 13, 2008. Be vigilant, be aware, and be prepared on
physical as well as spiritual levels.

One of THE foremost themes of the Samhain season is
honoring our ancestors. What better way to honor those who
have gone before is to not let their struggles be in vain.
When will we as a species cease the repetitive treadmill of
history and begin standing on our own sovereign feet?
~ Astrotheology ~
The Mabon 2008 Newsletter article concerning the
Precession of the Equinoxes leads to Binary Motion. Last time
we discussed the possibility that the wobble of the earth
caused the phenomena of the Precession of the Equinoxes.
Although this explains pieces of the process, it falls short
of explaining the entire picture.
Precession, being controlled by a second celestial body
(or God), has a common thread in virtually every myth known;
including Mythraic, Sumerian, Greek, Vedic, Chinese, Mayan,
Hopi, Sioux, and Norse mythologies. Also attributed to the
cycles is the idea of the rise and fall of civilizations in
conjunction to the Great Year. And it has been theorized that
the perceived alterations in time itself (some claim to sense
time "speeding up") may be due to the slingshot effect of two
heavenly bodies encircling one another.
"No doubt there are great catastrophes, such as comets,
asteroids, large earth movements, or possibly even pole shifts
that befall the earth from time to time and interrupt the
history of man. And maybe even extraterrestrials affected life
here on earth. But none of these explain why we had a
progressively declining civilization for thousands of years
before the dark ages, or why intelligence and technology
generally seem to be advancing so smartly since the beginning
of the renaissance. A binary system of our sun traveling
through space taking the earth on a long elliptical journey
where it might possibly be influenced by cosmic radiation,
negative ions, a different magnetic field, or even increasing
or decreasing amounts of a certain spectrum of light, could
very well explain the myths that come to us from every world
culture. Incidentally, there is good science to prove the
aforementioned subtle influences effect consciousness and can
dramatically change test scores and individual behavior.
Imagine what would happen if the whole planet were affected on
an ongoing basis for thousands of years" (Cruttenden, Walter).
(link
to full article)
The Binary System theory can go a long way in
explaining how humans have been influenced over the ages. The
myths, the conspiracies, the dogmas, the religions, etc. can
all be attributed to a Natural Cycle of the Universe.
Regardless of our petty squabbles (be it with ourselves, the
"elite," the "aliens," the "gods," or whatever) it becomes
pretty clear the Universe will continue its
course.
It all boils down to trusting your own interface of the
inner- and outer-verses that make up the Universe. Our mental
and physical bodies will take the brink of what the
outer-verse has to dish out. These bodies will be eventually
shed. But our spiritual bodies must be protected at all cost.
The predators will use the mental and the physical to their
best advantage in the goal of entrapping the spirit. Do what
you can through awareness and preparedness to ride out the
influences that are bound to be presented. But, always keep in
mind your sovereign spirit and remain free.
~ Lunar Cycles ~
One of the first methods of tracking time was the
observance of the lunation cycles. The moon has two primary
phases: waxing (growing) and waning (declining). Some people
celebrate only the full moons. Others celebrate both the full
and dark moons.
Each year consists of 13 lunations. Each lunation
consists of 8 lunar phases, as well as a waning (lessening)
and a waxing (growing) component.
The dark moon is a quiet time, a time for divination
and personal workings. The dark moon is a time for holding
power. The lunation cycle begins with the New Moon (0-45
degrees from Sun to Moon) and corresponds with energies such
as birth, new beginnings, initiative, creativity, and
emergence.
As the moon progresses it is considered to be
waxing, or growing, until it reaches its Full Moon phase. The
energies corresponding to the waxing of the moon are growth
and a time of planting, literally and
figuratively.
The next lunar phase is the Crescent Moon (45-90
degrees). The energy correspondences for this phase include
challenges, effort, change, activity, and expansion. Following
is the First Quarter Moon (90-135 degrees) which corresponds
with the energies of breakthrough, crisis of action,
separation from past, and action. The Gibbous Moon (135-180
degrees) finishes the waxing portion of the lunation. Gibbous
energies consist of development, evaluation, perfecting, and
overcoming.
Midway through the cycle is the Full Moon (180-225
degrees). The Full Moon governs the energies of culmination,
illumination, objectivity, vision, and fulfillment.
"This phase is conducive for creativity because of the
high energy and clarity of vision it brings. It is also
conducive for teaching. The energy of the full moon is
intense. It is a time for sending forth intentions because of
the high-powered energy that can propel them to manifest"
(Kynes, 2004).
The moon now moves into its waning, or shrinking stage.
Waning energies are a time for turning inward and reflecting.
It is a time for reaping what was "planted" during the waxing
period.
At the point of the Disseminating Moon (225-270
degrees) energies involved with teaching, reaping, maturity,
communication, and demonstration are prevalent. Next, the Last
Quarter Moon (270-315 degrees) is a time of assimilation,
crisis to consciousness, harvest, and reorientation. Ending
the lunation is the Balsamic Moon (315-0 degrees). Here is a
time of death, transition, prophetic or future orientations,
destiny, and release.
The first Full Moon between Samhain and Winter Solstice
this year is Nov 12. This moon is known as the Moon of
Descent. It is also known as the Snow Moon, the Mourning Moon,
and the Frosty Moon. Dec 04 will be the Dark Moon and the
second Full Moon will be Dec 12. This moon is known as the
Moon of Completion and otherwise known as the Oak Moon, the
Cold Moon, and the Snow Moon as well.

For November's lunar meditation consider: "November is
a time that is betwixt and between as we move further into the
dark of the year. After confronting our own mortality at
Samhain, November is a time to turn inward and examine the
truths (and falsehoods) in our lives to enable us to move
forward and grow." (Kynes, 2004).
~
For December's lunar meditation consider: "As the year
draws to a close and holiday preparations become a frenzied
blur, pause in the moonlight and step out of that frazzled
mindset to take a look at your life. Note whether or not you
have moved toward your personal and spiritual goals. It is not
so important that you have reached these goals as long as you
are working in the direction you want to go. Know that you
cannot change what has passed but you can chart your course
for what is to be" (Kynes, 2004).

Numerology:
"A system of divination based upon the concept that the
universe is constructed in a mathematical pattern and that all
things may be expressed in numbers that correspond to
vibrations. By reducing names, words, birth dates, and birth
places to numbers, a person's personality, destiny, and
fortune may be determined" (Guiley, 2006). If you would like

Here at Ancestral Coalescence we offer a number of
personal numerological reports and services. We use the
reputable Decoz Numerology system for the basis of our
analyses. In this column we will examine Numerology by
exploring each number in sequence. The number for this
newsletter is:
Four: "Four represents solidity, stability,
practicality, earthiness, responsibility, dependability, and
industriousness. Four is a follower rather than a leader. It
is the 'eternal principle of creation,' according to
Pythagoras, since it is the final number that brings
everything to unity (1+2+3+4). It describes the universe (four
elements, four quarters, four directions). It is a principle
number of aschemy and represents a transition or initiation of
consciousness from the three-dimensional realm to the fourth
dimension" (Guiley, 2006).
We are recruiting a writer for the Numerology column.

3 ~ The Lady
"After encountering the male and female sides of
himself, the Fool now encounters the feminine force of Nature
in the form of the Goddess, who nurtures the seed in her earth
womb and brings it forth to life and reabsorbs it in death to
await another spring. She who is the changeless and
ever-changing face of the moon, She who turns the wheel of the
stars. The Fool is forced to recognize that there are powers
outside himself. He must come to terms with living in a
manifest world and learn how to interact with it" (Franklin,
1998).

Review
With the endless bombardment of heavy, dredging
material I am buried in on a daily basis, it has been a
absolute pleasure to immerse my spirit in Hidden Passages:
Tales to Honor the Crones by Vila Spiderhawk.
Vila's style is very refreshing and insightful. The
surface material is entertaining, but below the surface are
layers of ancient wisdoms. As I read I was carried into the
realms of womanhood from perspectives I had not considered
prior. All at once I saw the world through my granddaughters'
eyes, my daughters' eyes, my mother's eyes, my grandmothers'
eyes, my great-grandmothers' eyes, and all of this through my
own eyes.
During the time of year to honor the ancestors I could
not have found a better way to do so as I found within the
pages meant to honor the crones. By honoring the crone we also
honor the maid and the mother as well as life and death
themselves.
This book is definitely a recommended read. We will
have several copies of Hidden Passages: Tales to Honor the
Crones available at our booth at the Casper Holistic Fair,
October 18-19, 2008.

~ Preparedness ~
The other day we got a group email message from a dear
friend. She has gone though an extremely difficult year. It
was evident she grappled for some time with swallowing her
pride and resorted to asking for donations from friends and
family. With little ones involved in her dire circumstances,
she could not see them suffer.
Although we are far from being ahead of the game
ourselves, we agreed to take her $100.00 to help. Being able
to help our friend brought us tremendous joy. But it also
brought us another message far from joyous. This was but an
eye-opener to the beginning of the struggles and decisions we
will be facing, and soon.
The reality of how hard it is going to be to have to
turn down those in need in times of bare survival became
blatantly clear. That $100.00 may very well mean months from
our own survival stores.
Don't get me wrong, I do not regret the deed one bit. I
am glad we were able to help. This friend actually helped me
with cat food once years ago while I was recovering from
surgery. So I was very grateful to be able to return her
kindness.
The message I am trying to convey here is one of the
evident shift in thinking we are faced with at this point. The
images of the food lines my grandmother shared with me in her
stories of the Depression. Images of her having to sneak into
the neighbor's garden to feed her children. The images of her
trudging through miles of snow ladened fields to sell a few
eggs. The images of her rocking her dead infant in her arms
because she was unable to produce milk due to her own
starvation...
All of this came at me in a torrent of emotion on the
waves of ancestral struggle and pain. To realize I will soon
be facing these very decisions concerning my children and
grandchildren was a clear message. A message I felt compelled
to share. Please, do what you can to prepare for the onslaught
of hard times. Take responsibility for yourself and those you
love. In the future, when I am forced to say "no" it will not
be out of greed or lack of compassion. But out of mere
survival. It gives me comfort to know these words may have
made the difference to someone out there.
May this never come to pass. May you find comfort when
it does. Many blessings to all.

Greetings Fellow Seekers:
The last couple of months has seen me
rather evolving – primarily due to my many attempts to
identify, prioritize and then define issues, such as our
endangered food supplies, that need to be Ranted about. But
then that general issue necessitates being broken into sub
issues such as Codex Alimentarius, Genetically Modified foods,
the extensive lists of poisons sold/served as foods, the
corruption of the FDA approval process, Monsanto, livestock
cruelties and on and on. The problem is, as I begin Ranting
about one issue or another, I find that the information that
needs to be put out is so intensive, involved and
overwhelmingly massive that I don’t know where to begin, yet
alone end, while covering it all in a one column Rant. In
fact, the food issues alone would likely require one or more
books of a size equal to the complete compendium of the IRS
Tax codes! The whole thing is just toooooo big for me!
Then there are the issues of big
medicine, big pharmaceuticals, the extreme expansion of the
brutal elite paramilitary police state, the controlled medias,
gun control/confiscations, spying/wiretapping/violating
citizens privacy rights, censorship of the web, free speech
zones, the empire building (multi-million death) wars and
invasions, suspension of Posse Comitatus (Federal infantry
brigades are, even now as I’m writing this, being tasked and
trained to enforce U.S civil marshal law), the North American
Union, RFID chips, suspension of Habeas Corpus, sanctioned
human torture, FEMA ‘death trains’ and hundreds of currently
staffed relocation/concentration camps, the military
industrial complex with it’s resultant trillions of dollars of
financial corruption, the rapidly re-evolving U.S. National
Socialist (that’s NAZI in German) Fascist agendas, the
hearing/reading impaired, bought out Senate and Congress,
911/Patriot Act/Homeland Security/terrorist government, the
current outrageous sellout of America to the corrupt/criminal
banksters and the impending contrived economic crash,
IRS/Federal Reserve, etc, etc, etc.
I honestly can’t begin to cover all
these issues and frankly am not going to try. Use our
resources on http://www.ancestralcoalescence.net/ to find out for yourself far more than I could
ever begin to Rant about.
Just as a note to all this – under the
current new anti-terrorist “laws,” just the fact of me writing
this and other articles, in an attempt to wake people up and
motivate dissent against the corruption, means I fit the
definition of a “terrorist,” can be arrested without charges,
searched without warrant, my possessions confiscated, held
indefinitely without trial or benefit of Habeas Corpus,
tortured, imprisoned at an unknown location and if executed,
no explanation would be necessary or likely forth coming.
You’re having read this and harboring knowledge of my
“terrorist” activity with out reporting it could garner you
the same end. What, in the name of insidious evil, is going on
in our country that most people don’t know
this?
The dirty, putrid list goes on and on and
on, and it will continue to do so until we, the American
voters, get openly seriously, furiously outraged and start
shamelessly screaming bloody murder from the fullest capacity
of our lungs and begin to actively, individually take back our
government. No “savior” is going to magically appear to do it
for us. We’ve got to take on the efforts, risks and
responsibilities of doing it for ourselves.
A good definition of insanity is: Making
the same mistake over and over again, but each time expecting
different results.
That is the insanity of our current two
party political system. Whether you vote for the Conservative
Socialist Party (Republican) or the Liberal Socialist Party
(Democrat) you are perpetuating the same insanity, term after
term. They are both repeatedly fulfilling the same
in-your-face agendas, but just doing it from different
angles.
It is time for a revolted voter
revolt. A revolution. It’s time to send a clear message to the
“hidden unaccountable government” by casting your vote for
any 3rd party candidate your conscience will
allow. No more voting for the one of the two shit houses that
stinks the least. It’s time to douche out the slime that is
infecting and enslaving our lives.
I personally have some limited issues
with all the current 3rd party candidates or their
party platforms, but would cast my vote for one of
them, if it wasn’t for the one person, who all along has been
straight with America and correct (in my humble opinion) on
virtually every issue - Ron Paul.
Marilee and I intend to put Ron Paul
on our ballots as a write in. I strongly encourage you to do
the same. He doesn’t have a snowman’s chance in hell of
winning – even if he should get every popular vote in America,
the Electoral College is only going to vote the two party
line. It can however, make all the difference at the Senate,
Congressional, state and local levels. That is where we have
to concentrate on making the biggest impact. I absolutely must
vote my conscience in both the Presidential election and the
federal, state and local elections, and send my message that
I’m done being controlled by their blowing outright lies and
horse feathers up my ass. I will frankly vote for very nearly
anyone, at all levels, who is not a Republican or
Democrat.
I hear the argument that to do this is to
“waste your vote.” That thinking couldn’t be more wrong. The
real wasted vote is one cast in spite of what you now know
(and probably always knew or suspected) is insanity. A vote
wasted on either side of the corrupt two party system is
contrary to your good conscience and desire to see our country
taken back and put on track by “We the People.”
If you are somehow invested in, and want
more (tons more) of the same old shit, then go ahead and cast
your same old shit votes. If not, then do yourselves and
America a great service – exercise your externally
uncontrolled inner freewill and vote your conscience. Make our
efforts amount to even more by introducing this “new” concept
to as many people as you can. Start developing the mindset in
yourselves and those around you that “Republican and Democrat”
are dirty words and that you consider support, identification
and affiliation with these filthy words a pretty good
indication of insanity and stupidity.
I’m still of the mind that we may not
even have the elections this year (I hope and pray I’m wrong)
– but unless we get our act together on this right now, it’s a
pretty good bet that we certainly won’t have the privilege to
vote again next term.
I believe we all are in for some pretty
tough and unpleasant times over the next several months. Once
again, I encourage you to put away as much storable food and
water as possible, as soon as possible – I can’t stress this
enough.
I’ll see you on the other
side……………
Agape’ and blessed be to you
all,
Dave

First in a series of article submissions

Demetrius Dyushambee, DD
The SPIRIT: That Stranger Inside
Us
The
first key unchanging and irrefutable point to be made,
understand and know, about Awareness and Truth, is that
fundamental truths about human life and death does not
change, nor does the basic requirements for what is necessary
to sustain human life during the time from inception to birth
and through the limited amount of time before human death.
Humans are born at some point in time and die at some other
point in time. Which is totally consistent during the best or
worst living conditions in any millennium, country/nation,
culture, language, religion or whatever category or label, and
no matter what any one or group believes about how people
should live our lives and what happens after we leave our
human bodies.
Bringing
us to the next key fundamental unchanging and irrefutable
truth across the spectrum of references. And that is that,
evidently, the true identity of any individual human is not
the human body, by any name or number label. Everyone does
agree about that fact in common language. That is, when the
living entity leaves the human remains of the visible human
body, that is precisely what happens. And that event is
referred to in terms such as Joe, Jane, or whatever name,
number or other label the person was known as, 'has passed on'
and their remains/body can be viewed, or not, at a
certain time and place, and will be buried, cremated, or
disposed of in whatever chosen manner. So Joe, Jane or
whoever 'passed on' and left their human remains was obviously
not the body during the time that the living entity occupied
the human body that they left. Which simply and accurately
means that the living entity, with some amount of conscious
and/or unconscious awareness, was as invisible when it
occupied the human body as it is after it leaves the human
body, as far as visibility to the sight of most people.
Although, often people will make false/inaccurate/incorrect
statements from habitual use, like, Joe or Jane died/is
dead and we/they are going to bury, cremate or
whatever him/her at such and such time and place.
Clearly, given that
Joe or Jane 'passed on' and left their remains/human body, Joe
or Jane is not going to be buried or disposed of in any other
manner, just the human body that Joe or Jane once occupied.
Likewise, when people then would say that Joe or Jane is
buried in a cemetery somewhere, Joe or Jane in not buried in a
cemetery anywhere, because Joe or Jane left before their body
was buried, usually. The invisible, to most, Spirit/energy
active in the, so called, Soul, *component, with Conscious
Awareness, is the true identity of individual humans.
The SPIRIT: That Stranger Inside

SOURCE of ALL in existence. *
dictionary
All
of the above is basically true about all other life forms,
flora and fauna, as well as all other inanimate forms/objects,
dirt, rocks, diamonds, gold, suns, planets, galaxies, anything
and everything else in existence, from the perspective of
humans, and/or other sentient Beings, perception and
conscious awareness. As far as any of us humans, or other
sentient Beings, can observe, experience, verify,
prove and know, everything has a beginning and an end.
Expressed
in different words, everything in existence has a cycle of
birth and death, and all things are moving and changing. Like
the moon revolving around the Earth, which
is spinning around it's axis, in the Milky Way galaxy
that is revolving around it's center point, as the Milky Way
galaxy is moving around in the astrological
*"cycle of the general
Precession,"
which is all moving outward, along with all of the other
billions of galaxies, and changing continuously, with new
galaxies being born and dying/changing forms all along.
*["In the
present cycle both of these periods are near minimums, since
the eccentricity and inclination of the Earth's orbit are
decreasing to minimum values. In the current cosmic Era the
length of the Planetary Precession and rotation of the Line of
Apsides will be from 72,000 to 75,000 years. The minimum
inclination will be reached in about 20,000 years and the
minimum eccentricity about 26,000 A.D., one cycle of general
Precession after Christ. The last Stationary position of the
Perihelion-Stationary-Direct after several thousands of years
of retrogressive motion - was about 26,000 years before
Christ: again one cycle of the general
Precession."]

symbolically represented in the Wheel of Paganism,
and Circle mandala of Buddhism, as well as the Cross
of Christianity, and in Hindu, Pagan, and Judaic
symbology, overlaid and
interwoven triangles representing the male and
female energy and chemical compositions - or, in scientific
terms, positive and negative energy and particle
elements. With crosses and triangles indicating
specific points of reference for latitudinal and
longitudinal spectrum directions - north - south
- east - west - and varying degrees along the
circular spirals and linear spectrums within the whole of
sentient perceivable directions, and beyond perception, in the
rapidly expanding Source of all creation in
universes. "Islamic symbols are
non-textual and non-verbal. A crescent is generally the
shape produced when a circular
disk has a segment of another circle removed from its edge, so
that what remains is a shape enclosed by two circular arcs of
different diameters which intersect at two points (usually in
such a manner that the enclosed shape does not include the
center of the original circle).
In
astronomy,
a crescent is the shape of the lit side of a spherical body
(most notably the Moon)
that appears to be less than half illuminated by the
Sun
as seen by the viewer. Mathematically, assuming the
terminator
lies on
a
great
circle,
such a crescent will actually be the figure bounded by a
half-ellipse and a half-circle,
with the major axis of the ellipse coinciding with a diameter
of the semicircle. The direction in which the "horns" (the
points at the intersection of the two arcs) face indicates
whether a crescent is waxing (also young, or
increasing) or waning (also old, or
decreasing)."

~ Widow's Web ~
By Silver Moon Widow
I
have always had a hard time accepting the concept of the gods
and goddesses in any form - myth or religion. I have fought
with this sense of denial for a long time. I have always asked
the question, "why?" And have analyzed the purpose of their
existence. I have asked the why of their nature, who they are,
why we write myths about them, and how they somehow affect our
lives - both in the spiritual and the physical realities.
I will foremost come out and say, I do
not believe in any God or Goddess. You may be asking me why,
or even getting upset at this (which is fine). I do not claim
to be all knowing. I am simply stating how I see things. So
you can make the choice to read on or to leave, that is up to
you.
In so many of the myths, the deities
would come down and walk among us, talk to us, have relations
and even involve themselves in the lives of their followers.
The Gods were just as petty and fool-hearted as us.
Their lives were also filled with soap opera antics, petty
squabbles, and unneeded wars (mostly fought for them by their
human worshipers). We worshiped and followed them hoping to
receive their protection and blessings.
I ask, “Where was Isis when Pompeii was
destroyed by Vesuvius?" The people prayed and begged for her
mercy and help. But she did not come and they all perished.
Oh, that's right, the gods can't get involved in human
affairs, unless they deem it worthy, or it benefits them.
“Where were the gods during Sodom and Gammora?” According to
Zacharia Stichen in his book “The Lost Book of Enki,” a
petty war between Marduk and Ishtar caused its destruction.
Resulting in the killing of many innocent people.
Also, if there is only one way to
believe, why play these petty guessing games with us? Why not
just tell us, or even walk among us, instead of laughing at
our frustrations and allowing us to slaughter ourselves
because of the confusion. Where are they - these ancient gods
so many believe in? But yet, they do not make a physical
appearance as they supposedly did in the past. Was Christ's
death the end to their pettiness? Did he prove that we are
more than beacons at their beck and call? That we are beings
of immense energy and power? And they kept us sedated under
their rules and laws to keep us from developing our
minds and power??
What if these ancient gods were beings of
immense knowledge and power from another world? Known then by
the term Gods (today, by the term Alien) they are the building
blocks for our concept of divinity from our myths to our
beliefs. Yes, even the old nature gods and goddesses of the
old religions of Europe. I do not claim I am right. I am
simply stating what I have come to understand.
I work my magicks and rituals with out
the help of the gods.
The power and energy is inherit in each
of us. We need no outside Gods to guide us with petty laws and
rules set by them through our predecessors. We need not rely
on those beings or their laws. We need to rely only on
ourselves.
Do not get me wrong, I do believe in the
unseen realms and other dimensions. They are not in the same
caliber as the concept of the gods and goddesses of old - the
ones who walked among us - the aliens who oversaw each
culture. Fighting their petty wars with their enemies. Look at
the myths. Titans and Gods, Angels and Demons, Giants
and Gods, and on and on... There always seemed to be battle,
conquest, killing, and other acts of destruction.
I do believe in ascended beings that work
with us and guide us. Beings we have come to fondly call by
the names of the ancient alien beings. We have even given them
the same images. But, these entities are beyond our mortal
concepts. They are guides, friends, and even counselors
helping us to find ourselves and the power within us.
They are of a purely photonic nature. You
could even say from a photonic plane of reality. Because we
are carbon based we do not fully see them. But, we can hear
and work with them and they can reveal themselves to us in our
visions and dreams. When we are on a different level, the mind
is a connection - a plug into the unseen photonic reality
which we will join when we pass on to the other
side.
So based on this, I believe the concepts such as The Law
of Three, etc., are false lies - created to keep us from
evolving and developing, making our own choices, and creating
our own lives.
Nature has two sides, creative and
destructive. Yet, there is no Law of Three returned to
the blackberry bush when her thorns draw blood on a person, or
an animal kills another animal. We are nature. We have two
sides. And energy is a part of us, to wield for destruction or
protection. To believe that something, such as the universe,
will send it back is part of the control factor. To keep us
from evolving ourselves. And to keep us chained, so we can not
protect ourselves when it is needed.
Yes, there is a creative and destructive
force that created all. But it is beyond comprehension. I call
the force the creatrix. It is the force of the energy within
us. Within the herbs, plants, stones, animals, etc. It has
duel sides. The sun, moon, stars, planets, solar system, and
everything else was created by this force. It has no
beginning. It just is.
Life is made up of choices - bottom line.
Nothing is returned . All the magick systems, laws, rules,
etc. - Where do you think they come from? Do you ever ask why
are they tainted with lies? To hinder us? Was the knowledge
past down from the aliens to the priests, shamans, and other
spiritual people done that way to keep us in their control?
This "Law of Three," "Do as Thou Will," and "Harm None"
are only newer concepts. It is a hindrance. Wake up, grow some
balls, and reclaim who you are.
The only one that judges and hinders you is yourself. No
deity runs your life. No god is watching over you. Those were
just aliens who found us useful slaves to control, to build,
and to create for them.
But in the end, we were the builders and
creators - not them. Find your own way, your own path. Reclaim
your freedom, reclaim your power, and be
free...
