About Me
Merry Meet all...
I am intensely interested in the Reclaiming Tradition of Wicca outlined in "The Spiral Dance" by Starhawk. I have been a spiritual seeker for many years looking for a spiritual path that I could follow and that would fill a void in my spiritual being. I started down a Native American path, this path "felt" right to me... but out of respect for my Native brothers and concern that it was diluting their heritage, I abandon this path. Since then I turned to Wicca. I first read "The Spiral Dance" six years ago and continue attempting to follow Starhawks teachings only as a solitary. I researched on the web but could not find a Reclaiming coven in the northern Virginia area, but I am continually learning more as I trudge the road of life.
Merry meet, Merry part, Merry meet again.

Ok I dont usually buy into this type of thing but if you wanted lower prices the law of supply and demand makes this seem logical... "BUT... See my comments at the bottom..."
THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE
CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30 PER GALLON.
This was sent by a retired
Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired
from Halliburton. If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they
will continue to rise this summer, take time to read this
please.
Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea. This makes MUCH
MORE SENSE than the 'don't buy gas on a certain day' campaign that was going
around last April or May! It's worth your consideration. Join
the resistance!!!!
I hear we are going to hit close to $ 4.00 a gallon
by next summer and it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come
down?
It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem
for them. BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that
can Really work. Please read on and join with us!
By now you're
probably thinking gasoline priced at about $2.00 is super cheap. Me too! It
is currently $2.98 for regular unleaded in my town.
Now that the oil
companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of
a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 - $1.75, we need to take aggressive
action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace..not
sellers.
The only way we are going to see the price of gas
come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their
gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.
How? Since we
all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas.
But we CAN have
an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price
war.
Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY
gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and
MOBIL.
If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to
reduce their prices. If
they reduce their prices, the other companies
will have to follow suit.
But to have an impact, we need to reach
literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to
do! Now, don't wimp out on me at this point...keep reading and I'll explain
how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
I am sending this note
to 30 people. If each of us send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) .
and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000). and so on,
by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have
reached over THREE MILLION consumers . If those three million get excited
and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will
have been contacted!
If it goes one level further, you guessed
it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION
PEOPLE!!!
Again, all you have to
do is s end this to 10 people. That's all!
(If you don't understand
how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do is send this to 10
people.... Well, let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician. But I am
. so trust me on this one.
How long would all that take? If each of us
sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all
300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8
days!!!
I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential,
did you! Acting together we can make a difference.
If this makes sense
to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we not buy from
EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $2.00 RANGE AND KEEP THEM
DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
Keep it
going
Now my comments... I sort of want to see gas go to 5, 10 or
20 bucks a gallon!!!! Until gas gets too high for Middle America to afford the
car companies will not consider alternatives to gasoline powered cars...
Technology will never be developed unless there is a big profit for somebody… burning
fossil fuels pollutes the environment, and if it costs the same price for a gallon of gas
as it does for a gallon of champagne then maybe those alternatives will get
developed and maybe they will be nicer for the environment? Hey I can dream can’t
I?
I'm a little miffed by this artical, the scary thing is how mainstream and seemingly intelegent the author is... But to me this is just another attempt to discriminate against non-Xians.
I know this isn't majickal or anything... but everytime i see the Echo pedegree ad I start crying... I know its not very manly but this ad touches something in me maybe unresolved childhood issues or something but my heart breaks everytime I see it. I have heard all the dogs used in the ads were in fact shelter dogs, and have all been adopted into loving homes.
We intend to get another dog to be a companion for our dog Tessa (an almost shelter dog) and our Cat (who was the last of an abandon litter) We will rescue another fur kid from the shelter when we do.
One of my friends makes really cool Jewelry... Check out her craftsmanship. Us pagans need to stick together and help each other out. I hope this works this time I'm getting rusty with my HTML coding. Lets try this again :)
I posted this Blog on my other site so I guess I should post it here too :) … I have been
following this path since 2000. I started out as a catholic and never
really “felt” the spiritual presence of anything. I started following
the path
of the feather and sort of “felt” something; I don’t know I felt safe
in a
circle with my Native American sister, eager to learn her ways as they
seemed
to give her good guidance during rough times, it was a really low time
for me
and her guidance and counsel gave me such hope, and strength to carry
on. When
I left that path, I still carried some of her teachings in my heart. I
started
following the reclaiming path as they have groups that are clean and
sober type
groups. Sadly I haven’t found a group close by so I continue to study
the books
and talk to my friends on-line. The thing is after all these years of
research
and trial and error I still don’t “feel” the presence of the divine… I
try so
hard to get things right, but I guess I have fallen short some how. I
am
tenacious so I will keep trying until the Great Mother sends a mentor
or
touches my soul during my rituals or meditations. It seems the older I
get the
more I tend to question everything. Faith is a tough thing at times.
Sometimes
all I can manage is a please in the morning and a thank you at night.
May the
great Mother Goddess bless us all. The only thing I am sure of is that
she is “out
there” and she had the power to alter lives. Blessings to you all…
Since I posted this I have decided to take the suggestion of another friend just let it come naturally and not try and force it... Hugs to you all...
