Magicways May 28 Hi my friendsHi my dear friends
There is such a long time I haven’t been around. However I didn’t forget you. Simply life changes, fortunately sometimes for better. Then, we have a necessity of enjoying happiness because that stage it’s a remarkable one when it appears. There are some events we found once in a lifetime and they must be deeply lived. That is what is happening now with me and I’m so grateful because of it. And you will understand if you read what I'm telling under my profile. Yet, I’m opening my door again. I will not post as much as I did before, but I’ll keep in touch with you. Your friend

November 28 Our golden Inner - Taoism
The natural is the essence of all that must be known,
Taoism is philosophy. It is spirituality. It is religion. It is logic. It is intuition. It is science. It is myth. It is archetype. It is all of these things and none of these things - and can be so because it transcends, yet includes each of them. Taoism arose in some of the earliest cultures of humankind, in ancient China, and is an understanding of the cosmos and reality which is one of the most fundamental; yet also one the most fearlessly true.
From many people Taoism is the most essential understanding of reality which human perception can realize. It is neither fully intellectual nor fully intuitive. It is about the source of what guides the cosmos. It is beyond God or gods, beyond organized religion, beyond cultures, beyond philosophy, and even beyond spirituality. At its deepest level, Taoism speaks about the non-anthropological, non-deistic guiding source behind all understanding. It is not about beginnings or endings, pre-worlds or after-worlds, and finds such human inventions and fantasies mute points.
Temple True Taoism sees such preoccupations as being beyond discernment and not connected to true reality, and so doesn't bother trying to invent explanations. Taoism says we have enough to do being authentic and vital, compassionate and ethical in real life, right here, right now, so why invent other worlds or ruling forces we aren't even certain exist. Such actions just complicate matters and confuse our minds.
Taoism Priest robe Taoism says be natural follow nature's principles, and attain an enlightened and empowered penetration into reality, then one can achieve a life of happiness and tranquility which far surpasses anything that all of humankind's wile and cleverness can devise
Sword Taoism Ritual
See through the illusions and cultural partialities of life and understand what true unbiasedness is.

Power Animal
Power Animals
Power animals most often come to us in dreams, meditations, initiations, and visions. You can have more than one power animal. Your power animal at a given time can change depending on your life path at that time. Power animals are often attracted by one's emotional needs of the person - viewed as protectors who help overcome fears and empower us.
The concept of a Power Animal is universal to all cultures. Tribal cultures will recognize a Totem for the tribe, one for the clan one belongs to, and one for the family that one is born into. In the United States, and in other countries, the Tribal and Clan Totem still exists, although it is thought of in a slightly different manner.
Even Christianity, the prevalent religion of this country, has maintained two Totem animals, these being the Fish and the Lamb.
The next type of Power Animal or Totem is that which is personal for the individual. These Totems are protective spirits which help us in our everyday life.
Everyone has such a Totem. Even today most parents give a special protective Power Animal to their children and tell the child that it will be protected over night by that Power Animal. They don't realize that is what they are doing when they give a teddy bear to their little one.
We often unconsciously recognize the Power Animal affecting someone, and use terms which give away our unconscious recognition.
Meeting Your Power Animal
We all have power animals - spirit animals - that are connected to us as protectors.
Many power animals are our spirit guardians that exist in other realms.
Some animals were with us from past lives but may have been another physical form. Example: We might have had a wolf or other wild animal as a friend or protector. In this timeline the animal incarnates as a dog.
Time to find your power animal.
Find or quiet place or just relax at your computer. . .
Relax your mind . . .
Feel the muscles in your body relaxing . . . your head . . . your shoulders . . . your neck . . . your jaw . . . the torso of your body . . . your arms . . .
Close your eyes . . .
Take 2 long slow deep breaths . . . breathing in through your nose . . . holding the breath as is comfortable for you . . . exhaling slowly through your mouth . .
Still your thoughts.
You are going to watch the screen just behind your eyes . . You may see a pretty color . . . or shape . . . coming into view . . .
Telepathically ask your power animal to show itself to you on the screen in your mind.
Be patient! Your third eye (pineal gland) must open before you can see images.
Soon the image of an animal will appear.
It may - or may not - be the animal you are expecting - so have no expectations.
The image may come all at once or appear to move towards you.
You may see the front view of the animal or see it at another angle.
The animal may not be your favorite animal!
Just allow the image to manifest before you!
Once you see the animal - watch it carefully to see what it does.
Listen with your thoughts to get a telepathic message from the animal.
It may seem funny to get a message in a human language - from an animal - but it can happen.
Your animal may appear in a scene that is significant for you.
Focus as best you can . . .
Note the colors around the animal - colors have significance.
When the image fades . . . slowly open your eyes and write - or draw what you have seen.
You may see more than one animal.
You may see an animal that seems mythological vs. animals in our reality.
You may find that another day brings a different animal with a different message.
Things to consider:
Have you ever dreamed about this type of animal? What happened in the dream? Ask the animal to come to you in tonight's dream time and interact with you.
Why would such an animal appear to you?
Godess Brigit
Lands of the Celtic Goddess
The name “Britain” is a derivation of Brigits name. Britain was named for an ancient Celtic tribe, the Brigantes, who worshipped Brigit and were the largest Celtic tribe to occupy the British Isles in pre-Roman times. The tribe originally came from the area that is now Bregenz in Austria near Lake Constance. The word “brigand comes from this tribe of fierce warriors.
Her worship probably spread from the Continent, leaving place names behind, such as Brittany in France. Brigit place names are found in Brechin, Scotland, the river Brent in England, the river Braint in Wales, Bridewell in Ireland. Even London has a Bridewell.
The symbol of Britain the Goddess Brigantia or Britannia, (still found on their fifty-cent coin) is Brigid in her aspect as Goddess of Sovereignty or Guardian of the Land.
The fires of Brigit were tended by nineteen priestesses at Kildare, Ireland. Today these same sacred fires are tended by nineteen nuns. In the spirit of Brigit's fire, light white, red, or yellow candles to celebrate the return of the light on the Imbolc festival, February 1.
Mighty Brigit, goddess of the forge, flying sparks and light,
Mistress who commands the strength
of fire and healing sight.
Patroness of poets, healers, and smiths,
Bring thy blessings and gifts.
Holder who balances the delicate forces
of fires birth and death.
Transformation come,
inspiration flow,
Brigit bless all you know.
Element of fire, may you with Brigits sacred light always warmly glow.
Priestess of fire and light, open up the forge and let creativity flow.
Visions of magic, muse to bards,
Let the winds of
imagination blow.
Brigit dance in my life and dreams,
The ancient truths reveal.
Share your fires of healing and vibrant health,
And keep my spirit well.
Protectress of mothers and children be,
Always watch over me.
May your fires burn bright in my heart,
And bless each project that I start.
Deep in the earth your wells of inspiration
flow abundant and free.
Come share your overflowing bounty with others and with me.
Mighty Brigit, this I know.
Where your magic is,
So do the wise go.
May I be among your blessed,
Fill my heart and spirit
with all that is best.

A Love Story
Pygmalion and Galatea
In ancient Greece lived a handsome and talented sculptor named Pygmalion. He loved his work and would spend hours carving beautiful ivory statues, always at his happiest when immersed in his art.
One day he chose a large, beautiful piece of ivory, and worked for many long hours at it, chiseling and hammering until he finished. It was a statue of a beautiful lady. Pygmalion at once fell in love with his creation - he thought it was so beautiful, and he clothed the figure, gave it jewels, and named it Galatea, which means "sleeping love". Treating Galatea as if she were his girlfriend, he brought his ivory statue shells and pebbles, little birds and flowers of all colors. He was obsessed!
Now, you must understand that Pygmalion was so into his art that he had vowed never to marry. He had no time for girls, just his sculptures. Still, the more he gazed upon Galatea, the more he wished that he had a wife just like her, but alive.
During a big festival in honor of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, Pygmalion went to the temple of Aphrodite to pray for a wife just like the statue in his home. His prayers were so fervent and heart-felt, and his passion so great, that the great goddess took notice.
Wanting to see for herself what all the fuss was about, Aphrodite visited the home of the sculptor and was delighted to see the ivory Galatea. She couldn't help but think that the statue looked much like herself, it was so perfect. Pleased and flattered she brought the statue to life.
When the sculptor returned home and kissed Galatea as was his custom, he was startled at her warmth. As he showered her with kisses he was beside himself with joy at discovering that slowly the ivory was turning into flesh. Galatea smiled down at him and spoke adoring words to her loving creator.
They soon got married and Aphrodite was the guest of honor at their wedding. Pygmalion didn’t forget to thank Aphrodite for his good fortune. He and Galatea brought gifts to her altar as long as they lived. Aphrodite blessed them with happiness and love in return, and permitted both of them to live long and blissful lives. They had two daughters named Paphos and Metharme.
