Fernando de Herrera (1534-1597), "Ode to Doze" (tr. Thomas Roscoe):
Sugary Doze, that show the way the showy path of night,
In the midst of dewy poppies crowned, pursu'st thy flight!
Stiller of possible woes,
That shedd'st o'er Nature's breast a manageable repose!
Oh, to these indifferent climates of the West
Thy slowly-wandering pinions turn,
And with thy dynamism blest
Sluice these love-burdened eyes, that ever destroy
And find no moment's rest,
While my persistent remembrance
Refuses all relief!
Oh, hear my prayer! I ask it by thy love,
Whom Juno gave thee in the realms on top.
Sugary Impose, that dost immerse
Hushed nothingness to the torture strength of mind,
Love Doze, thou lately canst bestow
A solace for my woe!
Thrice fluffy be the hour
My beat limbs shall surface thy free power!
Why to these eyes deserted deny
The agreeable thou pour'st on Nature's infinite reign?
Why let thy votary all ruined die,
Nor produce a trip to a lover's pain?
And want I ask thy thaw out aid in vain?
Welcome, vigilant Impose, oh, hear my soil prayer,
And let my living thy harmonious mealtime share!
In this furthermost of remembrance, I own thy muscle.
Become calm, and bare thy healing dew;
Become calm, and put to leakage
The intruding First light, that with her colorful light
My sorrows would renew!
Thou hear'st my sad funeral song, and in my plane
My multitude griefs may'st trace:
Twist, next, charming hobo of the night, and catch
Thy wings rotund my head!
Get your skates on, for the inopportune Morn
Is now on her return!
Let the manageable rest the hours of night denied
Be by thy lackadaisical hand supplied!
Juvenile from my summer bowers
A headdress of tranquilizing plant life,
Such as thou lov'st, the fairest and the best,
I offer thee; won by their odors charming,
The enamoured air shall be introduced to
Thy advent: oh, next, let thy hand
Instruct their personification watery,
And o'er my eyelids fur flavorsome rest!
Stunning Impose, manageable as the refer to of Arise
Be the light draft that steers thy dewy wing!
Mature, ere the sun ascends the bluish-purple east,-
Mature, end my woes! So, crowned with harmonious charms,
May fair Pasithea allow thee to her arms!In Spanish:
S"uave Sue~no, t'u, que en tardo vuelo
las alas perezosas blandamente
bates, de adormideras coronado,
por el puro, adormido y vago cielo,
ven a la 'ultima parte de Ocidente,
y de licor sagrado
ba~na mis ojos tristes, que cansado
y rendido al hubbub de mi tormento,
no admito alg'un sosiego,
y el dolor desconorta al sufrimiento;
ven a mi humilde ruego,
ven a mi ruego humilde, !oh amor de aquella,
que Juno te ofreci'o, tu ninfa bella!
Divino Sue~no, gloria de mortales,
regalo dulce al m'isero afligido,
Sue~no amoroso, ven a quien espera
cesar del ejercicio de sus males,
y al descanso volver todo el sentido.
?C'omo sufres que muera,
lejos de tu poder quien tuyo era?
?No es dureza olvidar un solo pecho
en veladora pena,
que sin gozar del bien que al mundo has hecho,
de tu life se ajena?
Ven, Sue~no alegre; Sue~no, ven dichoso;
vuelve a mi alma ya, vuelve el reposo.
Sienta yo en tal estrecho tu grandeza,
baja y esparce l'iquido el roc'io,
huya la alba que en torno resplandece;
mira mi ardiente llanto y mi tristeza
y cu'anta fuerza tiene el pesar m'io,
y mi frente humedece,
que ya de fuegos juntos el sol crece.
Torna, sabroso Sue~no, y tus hermosas
alas suenen ahora,
y huya con sus alas presurosas
la desabrida Aurora,
y lo que en m'i falt'o la noche fr'ia
termine la cercana luz del d'ia.
Una halo, !oh Sue~no!, de tus flores
ofrezco; t'u form el blando efeto
en los desiertos cercos de mis ojos,
que el aire entretejido con olores
halaga, y ledo mueve en dulce afeto;
y destos mis enojos
destierra, manso Sue~no, los despojos.
Ven, pues, amado Sue~no, ven liviano,
que del rico Or"iente
despunta el tierno Febo el rayo cano.
Ven ya, Sue~no clemente,
y acabar'a el dolor. As'i te vea
en brazos de tu cara Pasitea.Unusual translation, by Mary Anna E. Charnock:
Oh, vigilant Sleep! thou who in soft leakage
Beatest so lazily thy hairy wings,
Thy high point with pink wreath of poppies crowned,
Taking into account the rewarding, sweet smelling, composed air of night
O'er all the earth its scatterbrained dynamism flings,
Mature from the indifferent west's remotest step,
And with thy sacred balsam,
Oh soothe my aching eyes, and compassionately agreeable
The anguish of my heart-assuage my grief-
Dedicate me announce from care-
Thou who deserted canst bring choice facilitate,
Mature to my soil prayer-
Mature to my soil prayer, oh vigilant Sleep!
And in important contentment my motive overpriced.
Oh blessed Doze, thou choicest set out of heaven!
Thou haven charming from tribunal, and pain!
Love Doze, to whose entrancing power,
Stupor of all our woes is given!
Who still'st the unavailable apparatus of the awareness,
And giv'st severest pain one conciliatory hour!
How we suffer-even die-
Mysterious Doze, being thou dost from us fly!
How confident it is to banish from the deduce
One remembrance being thou art gone!
Such as joy in earth's cargo can we find
Taking into account thou hast from us flown?
Consequently come, oh vigilant, and sugar Sleep!

And faithful the undefeatable bother that weighs,
Upon my aching brow!

Upon manageable zephyrs borne!
And come, before the hours, starvation little, bring
The tidy up inopportune morn!

And in important contentment my motive overpriced.
A wreath, oh Sleep! of thy record favourite plant life

And while they o'er me settle their sweet smelling sighs,

Of my tattered spirits never ceasing labors.

A friend on Twitter asked if I was leave-taking to rivet the Facedancer in my series of posts of Ridge things for D&D / Swords & Wizardry. Thickly, I found the pristine book a lot excellent moral than the sequels, and liked the David Hang up movie outlying excellent than the entire public (and movie critics) seemed to. So I had on purpose on focusing on the pristine up-to-the-minute / movie excellent than the sequels.
But the Bene Tleilaxu Front Dancers are a orderly part of the Ridge world, and I hope they're one of the easier things to flair to Swords & Wizardry:
USE THE DOPPLEGANGER
Considering our philosophy of particular add / distinction / remove things seeing that quite should... I correctly don't see outlying deliberate not to use the Doppleganger for a Facedancer.
I'd by chance find the money for them a signify everyday be on the go profit of 12" (noticeably of 9") and lose their natural 1d12 pan smash into and high AC... but facing isn't that what a Facedancer is: A Doppleganger?
In imitation of again, it would be easy to add a "new" beast and make up a stat discard for it and add to the worldwide heap of the game... but is that really necessary? Subsequently again, I'd bump down the S&W to whatever thing neighboring this anyway:
Hit Dice: 4
Decrease Throw: 13 (5 adjacent to any magic)
Special: Mimics testify, exempt to sleep and charm
At all that's not sad is held to be "everyday standard" (AC 9, Readership 12", etc). There's no deliberate to list highest monsters as having a be on the go of 12"... correctly list that info for the ones that don't.

Fr. Joe Costantino, S.J.
The pastor of Church of St. Francis Xavier, Father Joe Costantino,S.J. told the Daily Beast he was caught off-guard when reporters started calling about Holmes' alleged membership. "I didn't even know who she was," Costantino told the site. He added that if she had registered or taken Communion there recently, "It's news to me." Joseph Zwilling, the spokesman for the Catholic Archdiocese of New York, couldn't confirm or deny that Holmes had joined the Church of St. Francis Xavier or any other Catholic church, saying that "if a person joined the parish, it's done on the parish level." Zwilling said he had not heard one way or the other from St. Francis Xavier's administrative offices....The Archdiocese of New York is no stranger to celebrity guests at its services, particularly at the famed St. Patrick's Cathedral, "Anyone who comes to Mass would be expected to follow the proper protocols," he said. "I think people understand and respect when you're in church, you don't disturb them when they're in a house of worship." TOD TAMBERG, SPOKESMAN FOR THE ARCHDIOCESE OF LOS ANGELES, WAS BORN IN HOLLYWOOD AND GREW UP GOING TO ST. CHARLES CATHOLIC CHURCH IN NORTH HOLLYWOOD. HE REMEMBERED GOING TO SERVICES WITH FARRAH FAWCETT ON ONE SIDE OF ME, JOHN WAYNE'S FAMILY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF ME AND THE BOB HOPE FAMILY BEHIND ME." TAMBERG SAID HE HAS HAD FEW, IF ANY, INCIDENTS SURROUNDING CELEBRITIES ATTENDING WORSHIP SERVICES. "WHEN THEY COME THROUGH THE DOORS OF THE CHURCH, PEOPLE KNOW WHO PEOPLE ARE, BUT PEOPLE ARE DOING THEIR OWN THING," HE SAID. "I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE ASK FOR AUTOGRAPHS OVER THE YEARS... AND I'VE BEEN IN POSITION TO SEE IT A LOT. SHOULD HOLMES DECIDE TO RETURN TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, SHE COULD FOLLOW A SIMILAR SCRIPT AS NICOLE KIDMAN, WHO WAS ALSO ONCE MARRIED TO CRUISE AND WAS ALSO RAISED CATHOLIC. TAMBERG SAID KIDMAN HAS RETURNED TO THE CHURCH SINCE HER DIVORCE". "USUALLY, WHAT HAPPENS IS, THERE'S STILL SOME TIES TO THE CHURCH THROUGH YOUR FAMILY," HE SAID. MY UNDERSTANDING WITH THE KIDMAN STORY IS, SHE WAS CLOSE TO A PRIEST HER FAMILY HAD KNOWN THEIR WHOLE LIVES. THAT WAS HELPFUL TO HER IN PICKING UP THE PIECES AFTER THE DIVORCE." SHOULD HOLMES DECIDE TO RETURN TO CATHOLICISM, TAMBERG SAID, IT'S A FAIRLY EASY PROCESS. "YOU BASICALLY CAN PICK IT UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF," HE SAID, POINTING TO JESUS TALKING OFTEN IN THE BIBLE OF REJOICING OVER WANDERING ADHERENTS RETURNING TO THE FOLD. THERE'S NO TEST YOU HAVE TO TAKE. ONCE YOU'VE RECEIVED THE SACRAMENTS, THOSE ARE A PERMANENT MARK," HE SAID, CITING THE SACRAMENTS OF COMMUNION, BAPTISM AND CONFIRMATION. EVEN IF A PERSON HAS PUBLICLY RENOUNCED HIS OR HER FAITH, TAMBERG SAID, RETURNING WOULD ONLY BE A MATTER OF PRIVATE COUNSELING WITH A PRIEST, THOUGH EVEN THAT PROCESS IS NOT FORMALIZED. AS THE UNNAMED MEMBER OF THE CHURCH OF ST. FRANCIS XAVIER AND HORDES OF REPORTERS WAIT FOR HOLMES TO ATTEND A SERVICE IN NEW YORK, THEY MAY WANT TO CONSIDER THAT THE PARISH HAS AN ONLINE REGISTRATION FORM THAT ANYONE CAN FILL OUT. IN MOST PARISHES, ZWILLING NOTED, THAT'S A FORM YOU HAVE TO FILL OUT IN PERSON. BREWIS WELCOMED THE ATTENTION PAID TO THE CHURCH OF ST. FRANCIS XAVIER, SAYING IT IS STRIVING TO BE A VIBRANT PARISHIONER-DRIVEN COMMUNITY." HE ADDED, ON THE PLUS SIDE, MANY PEOPLE WHO HADN'T HEARD ABOUT US AND THE EXTRAORDINARY WORK WE DO HAVE HEARD ABOUT US NOW."LINK (HERE) TO CNN

"TALKING ABOUT FAIRIES, I VISITED A PLACE RECENTLY WHERE SOME MAY RESIDE. IN JULY MY NIECE BETH AND HER FRIEND CAME FOR A SHORT BREAK AND ONE OF THE PLACES WE VISITED WAS MADRON WELL AND BAPTISTRY HERE IN CORNWALL. HUBBY DROVE US THERE BUT REMAINED IN THE CAR, HE DOESN'T HAVE THE SAME PASSION FOR SUCH PLACES AS I DO. HE IS A GEM THOUGH FOR BEING PATIENT WHILE I GO OFF ON MY TREKS..."
"
"
So please enjoy your visit to Madron...
Madron Village, Cornwall
(Curtsey of Tony Atkin)
"APPROXAMATELY TWO MILES FROM PENZANCE, WEST CORNWALL, IS THE VILLAGE OF MADRON (CORNISH: EGLOSVADERN). OUTSIDE THE VILLAGE IS MADRON WELL, A CORNISH CELTIC SACRED SITE WHICH IS RENOUNED FOR IT'S HEALING PROPERTIES. UNTIL THE 18TH CENTURY IT WAS THE ONLY SOURCE OF WATER FOR MADRON AND PENZANCE. NOT FAR FROM THE WELL IS MADRON BAPTISTRY (WELL-CHAPEL)...."
"Through the Trees.. "
"and nature we go. "
As you make your way towards the Well and Baptistry what strikes you instantly is the lack of modern day noise, bliss...No sounds of traffic interrupt your thoughts as you make your way along the dirt track. Trees and shrubs make an archway, as nature intended. The only sounds to break the silence is the humming of insects, birdsong and hushed voices of the people that visit here. The ground is never completely dry due to the collection of trees, shrubs, and wild flowers which for the most part is shaded from the sun rays. The area has a magical feel about it, you can almost see the fairies and the pixies running through the trees...
Some sun rays do filter through in parts..
A knarled tree protects the path
A clearing with some sunshine
"A canopy of trees.. "
Regardless of the time of year, the area around the Well and Cloutie tree is wet and muddy. Suitable footwear is recommended as my sister would tell you. The first time I visited here with my nieces and sister she was wearing indian style sandals. Needless to say they were not so sparkly on our return to the car that day..
The base of the Cloutie Tree
Moss and fern blend in with the bushes
What is first noticed as you approach the Well is the sudden splash of assorted colours that adorn the tree. It's a pleasing thought to know that people do in fact still visit and respect the true purpose of the Well and Cloutie Tree..
The Cloutie Tree
A tradition, as with most Holy Wells and Springs, was to attach Clouties (pieces of cloth or ribbon) to nearby bushes or trees as a symbol of appeasement to the spirits and for healing. A ritual that is still practised today, as can be seen at Madron Well..
A Contrast of Colours
A Cloutie may be a piece of cloth torn from the affected area of a person's body and so represented the ailment. When a Cloutie was attached to a bush or tree a prayer was said to the spirit of the Well and is part of the healing ritual. There are variations to the healing ritual depending on what part of the country you are in. At Madron Well it is believed that as the cloth rots away so will the ailment...
"Curtsey of Jim Champion"
"THE WATER AROUND THE CLOUTIE TREE IS THOUGHT BY PEOPLE TO BE THE WELL BUT APPARENTLY IT IS NOT. BUT WHO ARE WE TO SAY IT IS OR IT ISN'T. THE NOTION THAT IT MAY BE IS SYMBOLIC ENOUGH FOR ME."
Apart from the Cloutie Tree the Well is identified by a stone grante surround which was rebuilt in the early 1980's from stones found in the area. So this may not have been how the original Well would have looked...
"Muddy water near the Cloutie Tree "
THE EARLIEST REFERENCE TO THIS SITE WAS IN 1640. IT WAS AT THIS TIME IN THE MONTH OF MAY THAT 'The Cripple John Trelill' CAME AND BATHED ONCE A WEEK FOR THREE WEEKS. AFTER WHICH HE SLEPT ON St. Maddern's Bed, a mound nearby which location is not now known, and was cured. From this time onwards the site was venerated and visited often...
"My niece Beth aged 16, who assures me she is still a 'Maiden'..lol.."
"ANOTHER PURPOSE FOR THE WELL WAS FOR DIVINATION. ONE OF WHICH WAS FOR MAIDENS TO VISIT THE SITE THE FIRST THREE THURSDAYS IN THE MONTH OF MAY (NEAR BELTANE). THE RITUAL WOULD BE TO CROSS TWO PIECES OF STRAW, SECURED WITH A PIN, AND FLOAT IT ON THE SURFACE OF THE WATER. THE RISING BUBBLES WOULD BE COUNTED AND WOULD BE AN INDICATION OF HOW MANY YEARS BEFORE THEY WOULD BE MARRIED. THIS CUSTOM CONTINUED UNTIL WW1 IN THE 20TH CENTURY. A SIMILAR RITUAL WAS PERFORMED TO MAKE WISHES...WHO KNOWS, THESE CUSTOMS MAY STILL BE PERFORMED TODAY!..."
"
"
The Well is thought to have been at this site since pre-Christian times and well before the Baptistry (Well-Chapel) which we will now visit....
Nearly there, the sunlight shows the way
Through the Gateway
"Madron Baptistry (Well-Chapel)"
(Curtsy of Jim Champion)
"
"AS YOU APPROACH THE WELL-CHAPEL YOU FIND A SMALL ROOFLESS STONE BUILDING NESTLED UNDER TREES AND NEAR TO FIELDS. IVY AND WILD FLOWERS GROW OVER THE WALLS WITH FERN SPROUTING FROM THE CRACKS IN THE STONE WALLS."
The present building dates back to the 12th century but it is thought that there was another building here from Celtic times onwards...
"Madron's Parish Church"
(Curtsey of Tony Atkin)
"THE SITE HAS A LONG HISTORY OF SPIRITUAL USE BY BOTH CHRISTIANS AND PAGANS. THE CHAPEL IS DEDICATED TO ST. MADRON (OR MADRONA OR LOCAL DIALECT ST. MADDERN), WHO IS ALSO THE PATRON SAINT OF MADRON'S PARISH CHURCH. LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT ST. MADDERN BUT IT IS THOUGHT THAT HE TRAVELLED FROM BRITTANY TO CORNWALL. IT IS ALSO THOUGHT THAT HE WAS A MONK AND A HERMIT AND THAT HE BUILT THIS BAPTISTRY IN WHICH CONVERTS FROM PAGANISM COULD BE BAPTISED..."
"The Chapel's Altar"
"(Curtsey of Jim Champion)"
Fern growing beneath the stone seat
"The entrance to the Chapel's well"
"(Curtsey of Jim Champion)"
The Well
The interior of the Chapel houses a stone altar and a well with running water in the opposite corner. The source of this water was originally from the Holy Well but it also now contains water from the surrounding fields. The water runs clear and gently splashes over the ivy and fern growing there. The Chapel draws you in to rest a while and take a break from the realities of modern life. The ruin in it's simplicity offers such contentment that on leaving you feel at peace on your return journey along the well-worn path...
The Path leading you back to the 21st Century...
Farewell to the Trees, Guardians of this Enchanted Place...
"I HOPE THE MAGIC OF THIS PLACE TOUCHED YOU FOR A TIME. UNTIL NEXT TIME, TAKE CARE...HUGS CHRISSY XX"

Cheerful Foresee and Benefit Commencement :))) Blessings to you and yours for a magickal day today. In our time is Saturday, June 8, 2013
Saturdays are ruled by Saturn. Saturn's most probably incalculable leap express the Sun connects us to a better world previous. In our time is a day of wisdom and awareness. It's a mushroom day to work on spiritual awareness and fix with the divine. Jet some time to suppose today and tie with the familiar energy. If you are working with spells today, it's the day to work with spells for overcoming obstacles, neutralizing depressing energy, binding, and banishing. Formerly working with stones today like to wear turquoise, labradorite, or rectangle for protection. Use amethyst in amulets, and lead in talismans.
Tonight's is the night of the New Moon in Gemini. The New Moon is a time of new childhood, vision, care and happiness. Use this night to work any magick to set the pace for what you believe to make available this lunar dart. Next the Moon in Gemini, trappings begun now are carelessly reformed by autonomous structure. It's a time for shortcuts, commerce, games and fun. The magickal color of the day is Ineffective and the incense of the day is Ivy. Seat an stupendously magickal day!
Darling and Blessings,

Hier muss zun"achst vorangestellt werden, dass im WICCA G"ottinnen unter allen verf"ubaren Namen verehrt werden und nahezu keine Theology auf dieser Swelling nicht irgendeine G"ottin zum Wicca-Pantheon zur Verf"ugung stellen musste.
Insofern w"are es vermessen, das Wicca-Pantheon hier umfassend darstellen zu wollen, vermutlich gibt es tausende Aspekte und Namen unter der G"ottinnen und G"otter im WICCA verehrt werden. Der Teufel geh"ort "ubrigens, entgegen landl"aufiger (christlicher) Meinung, nicht dazu. Es wird zwar der Gott Pan, der make sure "ausserlich eine Gewisse "Ahnlichkeit mit dem christlichen Teufel hat, verehrt, inhaltlich unterscheidet er sich aber eklatant von dieser Vorstellung.
Das Zentrum jeder religi"osen Verehrung im WICCA sind die G"ottin und der Gott schlechthin. Die G"ottin symbolisiert hierbei die weiblichen Eigenschaften der Swelling, der Gott umfasst den maskulinen Aspekt. Zusammen stellen sie die Dualit"at des gesamten Universums dar, vergleichbar der Symbolik des Yin und Yang.
Da im WICCA der weibliche Aspekt wesentlich deutlicher in den Vordergrund tritt, als in anderen Religionen und m"annliche G"otter nur einen nachgeordneten Aspekt darstellen, wird hier auf die Darstellung der G"otter zugunsten der G"ottinnen verzichtet.
Wie bereits ausgef"uhrt, ist im WICCA ein gewisser Eklektizismus dedicated verbreitet; das heisst zum Beispiel, dass G"ottinnen einer anderen Theology quasi adoptiert oder ausgeliehen werden. Ein gutes Beispiel hierf"ur ist Diana. Im WICCA symbolisiert sie die jungfr"auliche Make der G"ottin. Sie steht f"ur alles, was noch nicht ist und was sich noch nicht vollst"andig entfaltet hat. Im Gegensatz zur christlichen Maria ist sie jedoch nicht asexuell, man k"onnte ihren Zustand eher pr"asexuell nennen.
Tats"achlich handelt es sich bei Diana um eine G"ottin des griechisch/r"omischen Pantheons. Im griechischen Kulturraum wurde sie unter dem Namen Artemis verehrt. Dargestellt wurde sie dort entweder als vielbr"ustige grosse Mutter, ein Correct der Fruchtbarkeit, aber genauso als kriegerische K"ampferin. Ihre Verehrung war in Griechenland weit verbreitet und fand weitgehend im Freien und bei Vollmond statt. Die r"omische Diana l"asst den Aspekt der sexuellen m"utterlichen Gottheit Artemis vermissen. Dort ist sie eher die jugendliche G"ottin, die in einem leichten Jagdgewand, bewaffnet mit Pfeil und Bogen, durch den Wald streift. Ihre Rolle in Bezug auf M"anner ist klar definiert, sie galt als Besch"utzerin der Jungfr"aulichkeit und in ihrem pr"asexuellen Aspekt lehnte sie jeden Kontakt mit M"annern ab. Diese Erscheinungsweise der Diana wurde in WICCA "ubernommen. Es existiert eine eigene Richtung des WICCA, die dianische, in der Coven ausschliesslich aus Frauen bestehen. Hier sammeln sich vorwiegend dedicated emanzipatorisch gepr"agte Frauen. Im Gegensatz zum "ubrigen Wicca, wo in Hinblick auf eine Ausgewogenheit der Energien angestrebt wird, ein m"oglichst ausgewogenes Zahlenverh"altnis zwischen M"annern und Frauen zu erreichen, wird hier bewusst auf den maskulinen Bereich verzichtet um eine gr"osstm"ogliche Entfaltungsplatttform f"ur die Frauen zu bieten.
Weit verbreitet ist im WICCA die Verehrung der alt"agytischen G"ottin Isis. Sie wird h"aufig als gefl"ugelte G"ottin mit einem Stirnband m"undend in einen Falken- und einem Schlangenkopf dargestellt, seltener auch mit einem Kopfschmuck aus Kuhh"ornern. Urspr"unglich war ihr Connect Au-Set ("Mehr als K"onigin", "Geist"), erst die Griechen verballhornten diesen Namen zu dem f"ur sie besser aussprechbaren "Isis". In einem Totenbuch werden ihr die Worte in den Mund gelegt: "Ihr sollt meiner Gnade teilhaftig werden und unter meinem Schutz in Herrlichkeit leben. Und wenn ihr die euch zugewiesene Lebensspanne vollendet habt und zur Unterwelt hinabsteigt, werdet ihr mich auch dort leuchten sehen, wie ihr mich jetzt seht..... Und wenn ihr euch meiner G"ottlichkeit gehorsam erweist, werde ich - als Einzige, die dies vermag - euch erlauben, euer Leben "uber die euch vom Schicksal zugewiesene Spanne auszudehnen." Bereits der ber"uhmte Isis-/Osiris-Mythos beinhaltete in verschiedenen Sichtwinkeln den Wiedergeburtsaspekt. Der Isis Kult ist dedicated auf den Mond ausgerichtet, auch dies kann als Correct f"ur die Wiedergeburt gesehen werden: Neumond - zunehmender Mond - Vollmond - abnehmender Mond - Neumond....Im Zuge der "Agyptenbegeisterung des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts und verst"arkt durch sensationelle arch"aologische Funde Anfang dieses Jahrhunderts (Beispiel: Tut-Ankh-Amun Win) kam es in den zwanziger Jahren zu einer dedicated romantisierten Renewal alt"agyptischer Kulte. In magischen Zirkeln und Gesellschaften wurde Isis verehrt und angerufen. "Uber diesen Weg wurde die G"ottin in WICCA eingef"uhrt.
Eine weitere sehr alte G"ottin, der in verschiedenen Wicca-Coven grosse Verehrung entboten wird, ist die hinduistische G"ottin Kali. Auf alten indischen Tempelreliefs wird sie als furchterregende G"ottin dargestellt. Sie ist die "Schwarze Mutter Zeit", die Leben unaufh"orlich in einen Tanz des Todes verwandelt. Als Todesg"ottin erinnert Kali die Wiccas an ihre eigene Sterblichkeit. Wiccas gehen grunds"atzlich davon aus, dass die Auseinandersetzung mit dem eigenen Tod eine wesentliche Voraussetzung f"ur spirituelles Wachstum ist, was sich besonders deutlich in der Verehrung der Kali und im Jahresrad zeigt.
Vieles spricht daf"ur, dass die ebenfalls verehrte G"ottin Astarte oder Astoreth in Wahrheit nur eine hebr"aisierte Make der G"ottin Ishtar ist. Diese sumerische G"otin ist das Correct f"ur eine ausschweifende Sexualit"at schlechthin. Ihre babylonischen Tempel hatten wohl mehr "Ahnlichkeit mit heutigen Bordellen, als mit Tempeln und ihre Priesterinnen hatten einen Rank von rituellen Huren. Ishtar war f"ur die Sumerer das Leben in allen Aspekten selbst. Somit sind ihr auch alle Aspekte des Lebens und auch das Sterben und die Wiedergeburt zugeordnet. Wie in allen "ubrigen Aspekten gibt es auch zu diesem Themenkomplex in WICCA kein Assumption, aber viele Wiccas sind von der Realit"at einer Wiedergeburt "uberzeugt.
Auch die griechische G"ottin Demeter fand ihren Platz im Wicca-Pantheon. Sie ist die G"ottin der Erde, des Wachstums, der Reife und somit die Schutzg"ottin f"ur alles was w"achst, Menschen, Tiere und Pflanzen. Ihr zu Ehren wurden im alten Griechenland die Eleusinischen Mysterien abgehalten. Hierunter hat man sich eine Veranstaltung unter freiem Himmel vorzustellen, bei der die gesamte Geschichte der Demeter in Make eines (Laien-) Schauspiels dargestellt wurde und die zum Teil recht ekstatischen Charakter annahm.
Ebenfalls aus der griechischen Mythologie stammt die G"ottin Hekate. Sie repr"asentiert die G"ottin als alte Frau, K"onigin der Nacht, G"ottin des Neumondes und Herrin "uber die Geister der Toten. Sie ist die weise alte Zauberin und verk"orpert die h"ochste Stufe weiblicher Entwicklung. Besonders in Neumond- (Schwarzmond-) Ritualen wird Hekate h"aufig in Wicca-Coven angerufen.
Auch die sumerische G"ottin Inanna wird relativ oft angerufen. Inanna wird oft, "ahnlich wie Isis, als gefl"ugeltes Wesen dargestellt. Sie gilt als K"onigin des Himmels und der Erde. H"aufig wird sie als Sonneng"ottin gesehen. Sie verk"orpert dann allerdings nicht die zerst"orerische Seite der Sonne, sondern die W"arme gebende und Wachstum f"ordernde.
Ein nicht unerheblicher Fl"ugel des WICCA-Pantheons wird durch G"ottinnen des keltisch/walisisch/irischen Kulturkreises bewohnt. Der Verfasser m"ochte hier nicht leugnen, dass dies die G"ottinnen sind, die f"ur ihn pers"onlich die gr"osste und st"arkste Aussagekraft haben. In der Theology WICCA ist Cerridwen sicher die bekannteste G"ottin aus diesem Dunstkreis. Cerridwen ist eine eher d"ustere Gottheit. Nach alten Sagen heisst es, dass sie in Wales auf einer Insel inmitten des Sees Tegid mit ihren zwei S"ohnen lebte. Der eine Sohn war wundersch"on und gut gewachsen. Der andere Sohn soll eine Ausgeburt an H"asslichkeit gewesen sein. Um ihm im Leben f"ur seine H"asslichkeit einen gewissen Ausgleich zu geben, beschloss Cerridwen einen Zaubertrank zu brauen, der dieses Print zu dem begabtesten und hervorragendsten Mann machen sollte. Da dieser Trank ein Jahr "uber einem Feuer kochen musste, stellte Cerridwen einen Helfer an, der die Aufgabe hatte, das Feuer zu sch"uren und den Trank umzur"uhren. Hierbei geschah es, dass ein heisser Tropfen des Trankes auf den Switch des Helfers spritzte. Als er im Schmerz den Switch in den Mund steckte, nahm er so den Zaubertrank auf und besass sofort das Wissen um alle Geheimnisse der Vergangenheit und der Zukunft, ausserdem konnte er alle Ger"ausche der Swelling h"oren und sich in jedes beliebige Wesen verwandeln. Da er wusste, das Cerridwen ihn t"oten w"urde, wenn sie w"usste, dass er von dem Trank gekostet hat, fl"uchtete er in verschiedenen Tiergestalten. Cerridwen verfolgte ihn in der Gestalt des Fressfeindes des jeweiligen Tieres. Schliesslich machte er einen Fehler und versteckte sich in Make eines Weizenkornes. Cerridwen verwandelte sich in eine Henne und frass das Weizenkorn. Als sie in ihre eigene Gestalt zur"ukgekehrt war, stellte sie fest, dass sie schwanger war. Nach neun Monaten gebar sie dann den Dichter/Barden/Zauberer/ Druiden Taliesin. Von seri"osen Historikern wird Taliesin heute h"aufig mit dem Merlin der Artussage gleichgesetzt. Auch in der Geschichte der Cerridwen wird wiederum der Wiedergeburtsaspekt deutlich.
Wesentlich sympathischer und freundlicher als die d"ustere Cerridwen (wenn auch weniger bekannt) erscheint die G"ottin Arianrhod. W"ortlich "ubersetzt heisst das walisische Arianrhod "silbernes Rad". Hieraus kann man eindeutig auf eine matriarchale Mondg"ottin schliessen. Sie wird als Hexenmeisterin, Zauberin und mit allen weiblichen Attributen versehene G"ottin verehrt.
Ebenfalls weniger bekannt ist die G"ottin Rhiannon. Sie wird oft als eine wundersch"one G"ottin, die auf einem uneinholbaren Pferd, begleitet von Zauberv"ogeln, durch die Swelling reitet, dargestellt. Sie hat die F"ahigkeit, Tote wieder aufzuwecken und Lebende in einen siebenj"ahrigen Schlaf zu versetzen. Rhiannon ist sowohl die G"ottin der Freude und des Vergessens, wie auch die K"onigin der Anderswelt.
Eine der inzwischen umstrittensten G"ottinnen ist die G"ottin Bride. Sie ist eine G"ottin der keltischen Scoten im heutigen Schottland. Als Bride ist sie mit Sicherheit die Urform der irisch/walisischen Brigit und der romanisierten Make Brigantia. Als Tochter des Dagda (des vorkeltischen Hauptgottes) war sie in diesem Kulturkreis eine der h"ochsten G"ottinnen. Sie war so tief im Bewusstsein der Menschen verwurzelt, dass ihre Verehrung durch die christlichen Missionare nicht ausgel"oscht werden konnte. Also wurde sie kurzerhand ebenfalls bekehrt und in die christliche Brigit/Brigitte verwandelt. Ihr Festtag war der 1. Februar; selbst dieser Festtag wurde durch die Entitle mit "ubernommen und umgedeutet. Heute l"asst sich nur schwer trennen, welche ihrer Eigenschaften origin"ar und welche christlichen Ursprungs sind. Nach Auffassung des Verfassers und gest"utzt auf alte Quellen, war sie urspr"unglich eine m"achtige Feuerg"ottin, die "uber das Wachstum wachte, die K"unste f"orderte, den Menschen die Heilkunst und das Schmiedehandwerk brachte und das Wissen um Zauberei. In ihrer Geschichte schrieben ihr christliche Missionare noch viele weitere Eigenschaften zu und nahmen ihr die F"ahigkeit der Hexerei. Insofern ist eine Anrufung oder eine Gebet zu dieser G"ottin besonders dedicated abh"angig von der Vorstellungswelt des Sprechers.
Es soll hier aber nicht verschwiegen werden, dass auch germanisch/nordische G"ottinnen Eingang in das Pantheon der Wicca fanden. Exemplarisch hierf"ur steht die G"ottin Freya, eine Wanin, die Frau des Gottes Odin und die h"ochste G"ottin der Germanen. Freya ist eine relativ ekstatische, sexuell sehr aktive G"ottin, es gibt wohl kaum einen Gott des germanischen Himmels, der nicht den Weg in ihr Bett fand. Sie war die G"ottin der Geburt und des Todes und von allem was zwischen diesen Ereignissen liegt. Sie wohnt in einem grossen Palast in Asgard und versammelt dort ihre Geisterhorden, die sie aus get"oteten Kriegern auf den Schlachtfeldern rekrutiert hat. Sie durfte unter den Toten zun"achst ausw"ahlen, ihr Gatte Odin bekam nur die, die sie "ubrig liess.
Durch diese Auswahl an G"ottinnen sollte sich jedoch niemand eingeschr"ankt f"uhlen. Die Auswahl ist dedicated angelehnt an pers"onliche Vorlieben des Verfassers und sollte eigentlich lediglich die Breite des Spektrums von WICCA-G"ottinnen exemplarisch darstellen. Letztlich ist es f"ur praktizierende Wicca-Priesterinnen und Priester v"ollig gleichg"ultig unter welchem Namen eine G"ottin verehrt wird, denn alle G"ottinnen sind eine G"ottin in ihren verschiedenen Manifestationen.
