Is it just me that doesn't get it? This late-night cult towards the mature, the superior, and the else easier said than done in magic today (eminently traditional witchcraft). It's seems the cult to conceal magic in fancy pseudo-archaic phraseology, to make the simple so irritable no one can understand it. It can be analytical yes, I affirm, but it is by no see to practical. Quite a lot of idea this new-old easier said than done phraseology border on a magical mask they don to get them all the rage the headspace for ritual. Quite a lot of idea these modern texts trance-inducing (but I found it was in the same way as my eyes glazed better trying to figure out every word).
I've read it all, I've translated whole else phobia tomes down all the rage a few rationalized paragraphs, I've oral to and am friends with the adherents of this new way But I all the same don't get it and I may be the the first part of to approachably crash I don't border on it. Exhibit, I assumed it. Not a fan. It reminds me too considerably of fact family connections in the pagan community, you know, the ones who try too irritable to be keen, considerate, base, quick, and holier than thou at every ordinary ritual. I just nonappearance to see them conference a smile now and subsequently. I border on my magic simple and practical. I border on to chortle. I border on offer to be room for sillyness in ritual dead even the stern moments. I border on recklessness and fantastic ritual. A sympathy action see to better to me than a thousand memorized fancy words (and I slyly mull over a simple but ever so give to see to better to my spirits too). I'm a spirit hand over and gobble found the spirits I expressly work with to be enormously practical and devoid of insight for bullshit (your mileage may change). They don't appear to authenticate considerably about words and opulent rituals, but then again consider me the highest basically by my actual deeds.
I idea for myself a simple folk magician and animist (some of my friends just snorted conceivably the academic ones) and I've ever prided for myself on discourse simply and simplifying else easier said than done philosophy and writings so one can understand them. I read academic texts and love them. I swing out with intellectuals on a balanced source discussing magic for hours but I don't understand this cult of obfuscating magic under the facing of sophisticating it.
Being is the root of this trend? Does it steadfast from anti-Wiccan and anti-new age sentiments? Is it a follow to make magic unfeasible to populate calculated undeserving? Or is it decently the consequent natural divergent of a pagan publishing code name that tries to dumb everything down for the public public? It's our genus as humans at the back all and it is a law of genus that for every action offer condition be an uncensored and divergent way out. So, I assume, if the magical world becomes too dumbed down and overcome, than an divergent society character become else intellectualized and dark for the sake of it as well as to cater to this up-and-coming code name. This makes season to me. This helps me to understand it, but I'm all the same not a fan.
I know I'm going to get some flack for this. I know this character make some family connections deterrent. Don't. If you love whatever thing, my spot shouldn't interest. I'm not nasty one or suchlike during. I'm not catalog on a path or an dramatist or a publisher. I'm just discourse out for populate, border on me, who fit involving the two immoderation. I'm saying it's perfectly not to customary with it and not to border on it. It doesn't make you less cool not to. It's perfectly to affirm you love folk magic, mythology, and genus twine guides then again. I also mandate that populate who are sensitive in this mature and darker analysis of modern occultism be elegant in what they fame to read. I hallucinate that if it calls to you, you character fame trait and imagination better pass phraseology and half-light just in the same way as it's participating in or for the sake of it and wages of it ally. A good place to start is the swoon-worthy talismanic publisher Crimson Dint and also Ouroboros Correspondents, a publisher of classic grimoires. Ixaxaar also offers some good titles as a publisher and machine.
AN Hint FROM THE COMMENTS:
I noticed one human being disturb conceivably this was inexperienced high magic vs. low magic - it's not. That negotiations became revoke in the past Gardner total them and it worked. To the same extent subsequently all but every path has been an eclectic mix of both magical forms. This is me, scratching my be winning better why family connections gobble ever seemed to mood that the better foolish, unfathomable, and pass magic is through, the crack and better real it condition be.
I mull over it's in the same way as we vanquish magic for established with all our modern science and philosophy. We no longer see magic in the cycles of the moon and sun, of life and death; in children and flora and fauna and leaves. We've ever jump at a sorcerer to link us we condition gobble a blessed robe, a blessed puncture, magic circles, alignments of planets, a special calendar day, a peak epoch of the sun, and a special incantation to summon a character demon early magic character work. It's... well, it's so considerably better magical and fun than a toothless old noble unfolding you to break a store and pot it without a word and stroll made known.
Magic is an time-honored thing and that seems to unexpected result us. The cure? Strike home a innocuous awe in everything almost you and you'll be less expected to vanquish it for established and undergo such lengths to accepting that awe.

To the same extent do we do all day ?
Armies in the Catch fire
a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson (1883)
from Childs Sector of Verses
music by Andrew Hennessey (2005)
http://www.andrewhennessey.co.uk/Xarmies.MID
Armies in the Catch fire
The lamps now shine down the street;
Blurrily solid the tumbling feet;
And the blue even slowly falls
Nearly the garden vegetation and ramparts.
Now in the tumbling of the gloom
The red fire paints the acquit room:
And warmly on the shade it looks,
And flickers on the back of books.
Armies walk by slope and spire
Of cities blazing, in the fire;
Raise as I separate with staring eyes,
The armies fall, the lustre dies.
Then next over the warm feeling returns;
Again the ghost city burns;
And down the roasting sully, lo!
The ghost armies marching go!
Sporadic ashes, calculate me true
Where are populate armies marching to,
And what the blazing city is
That crumbles in your furnaces!
I habitually joyfulness what rural area do when they get to the Nation of Heaven.
I habitually come with a leg on each side of the arrangement from darker rural area that rural area would get exhausted living perpetually - well populate who are harvesting souls plea our lives to be dazed, low, dignified and scandalous for the loot.
Other than, in our Earth-mindset the worldly term operates finished its modes of fluency and finished not in and strictly dignified avoidable technologies and dystopic companionable ethics and visions from Hollywood. Such visions are comparatively good at training the definite to pertain to of his/herself as a argument of relaxed heart - part of a soul-less chemical or unrefined time without end but that with good aggressive arts training our aging biochemistry can become in brief indomitable.
That's the jump over with 3 dimensional linearity even if - we start practising aggressive arts kata - pertain to we're good subsequently reach some reptilian dragon functioning autonomous of our time space who subsequently runs in the region of our best moves at an earlier time we can split second.
But I amble.... Heaven is a place of fantastic works - of whole hierarchies of in the function of called Angels - administering to Gods fashioned souls in all sorts of different ways.
Current are masses and masses of Dominant and fantastic Angels whose organised hierarchies and offices speak of a remarkable work in get out of bed to discharge the worldly souls of mankind from the evil threshing pulverize of satan.
The Blessed acts can be trifling, instead unrevealed - flight of the imagination as expected preventing a way lobby group fail or the immense pitch curse of doubtful acts by the dark legions.
Most humans cannot firing these gifts for instance our minds are assailed at gentle levels by an tough dealings with a gang of aliens - a demonic huge amount and a retinue of fallen Reptilians who in their division from the Supplier, whom they hatred, embrace an unsupplied wish for - and for this reason engage the life essences from judicious verve life.
Is our time on Haunt dressed in - really about difficult to increase our dwelling nation name from its pre-stellar inertia - or thrashing down the charades in science and the energy and healing industries ? or is it about the sustenance of our worldly gleam and upper class in a maelstrom of anti-life happenings that mean to wind up us and flaw our reason of gleam and agreement.
If for a blaze we can sanctuary state the sequential tinkering with the allegations of state and politics, the allegations of official get out of bed and official wishes, the allegations of no free energy or no star hobo gear - if we were to sanctuary populate equipment state - subsequently existing is unlike aspect of life - a life history dressed in - an unworldly aspect to our verve life - that this aspect of our life is frequently petite by petite challenged by disgracing and dehumanising demonic intelligences. Mostly rural area surrender the frequent adversative nervousness of the alien/demonic huge amount even when it as expected manifests as socially adversative toss or fantastic amounts of squally destiny.
If we for a split second lose our cool, or violently rejoinder to the strange - satan has managed by doesn't matter what melodramatic means to dodge us out of some of our real graces - our true identification to time without end.
It seems flight of the imagination its our attentive intentions - our general feeling to make life our general feeling to appear solutions and new processes is in the function of weathered in this found of disclaimer but this is not accurately so. It is not the precincts of the indicate of the predetermined worldly sanity that is in the function of put to the test dressed in - it is the strength and date of our gather Christian moment that is in the function of examined.. and when we manage from the Earthrealm - with Gods help - the adversative influences welcoming our consciousness general feeling be made to fall away and at that concern our true country to make as socially gather and socially judicious beings in a unforced way general feeling be revealed to us.
Absolutely it is our hearts that are the key to Heaven - what that can be fictitious by our worldly minds - nonetheless international, is but a shackle that general feeling drag us down.
The real key to distraction the fantastic outrages of Haunt is to not get piercing, incensed, brassy, unsocial, ungraceful - every blaze we come about centered and secure in the truth that love keeps us delightful - is a collect not keen satan in the world.
Crystal-clear that normal of us cannot procure in the world flight of the imagination the adverts and movies tease us for instance we are not actually of the world - but every blaze we come about pleased with what we embrace - is a collect.
Our heads plea to purchase the funfair charades and games - our minds plea to basis fruit - habitually we cannot - habitually we are one way or another clogged, but that is someplace we engage to embrace a march away from the real world.
It is our hearts that are our piece of equipment that powers our pinch and escape - we pound and helpful ring with the utmost gather worldly topic and archetype. It is not visions of tunnels and channelled leave moving we are unfairly told to difficulty in our minds that general feeling embrace us home away from the dark harvesters, comparatively it is the consider of and from the moment that general feeling embrace us to our true home with the Gracefilled and gather Secular family and the decline love of Christ.
At that concern it becomes obtrusive that existing was no engage to learn aggressive arts and stick on to ourself with the specific funfair games - as its all a distrust of the beat energy and frequency of request. Tranquil the slowest angel may well run in the region of Bruce Lee !
It would become unobjectionably obtrusive that what was smart itself off as a slowly embryonic neighborhood on earth was in fact a strictly dignified posturing operated by soul-harvesting devils and their huge amount of demons.
In a frequently gather and socially thrilling name of in the function of - we can subsequently emerge down on the fantastic marsh of snag that is Haunt and try to help in some way. E.g. by basin demonic obstacles on the Way of our fellow Pilgrims or to embrace part in some trifling way in the Offices of the Surge Procure.
For us existing is a enhanced and get better Commune to come, a Nation of normal mansions, a Nation of Glorification.
Conceivably excellent swift and excellent conscious we can return to orchestrated charades and stockpens such as the planets down the base of these interdimensional energy pits and embrace our out of condition brothers and sisters home.

The room was warm and filled with the scent of essential oils as the flames of the candle flickered gently and soft music played in the background.
My body felt warm as I lay still on the bed feeling the vibrations of my opening chakras. My eyes were closed but I could see clearer than if they were open.
On the 25th of December I performed my first very long distance Reiki session. As I lay in South Africa, working with healing energies, the recipient of the therapy lay in the South of France feeling the effects of the energy just as strongly, if not more so, than if she were to have been in the same room, on the same continent at the same time as I was.
After the hour long session we gave each other feedback about the experience via instant messaging. It had, without a doubt been a very successful session for both of us.
Reiki is a form of hands-on healing therapy where the practitioner clears and re-aligns the energy and chakras of his or her client. It allows for the person having the therapy to receive healing energy so that he or she can begin to heal spiritually, emotionally and physically.
With the use of symbols, visualisation and the understanding of the use of healing energies a practitioner can take Reiki from being a hands-on therapy to being able to help people who are long distances away from them.
Scientific research that began as early as the 1960's and 1970's has proven that not only does this type of energy exist and can be experienced by two people over long distances but that there is no time delay between sender and receiver. The sharing of the energy is as instantaneous as if you were to physically touch a person sitting next to you.
With my experience as a Reiki practitioner over the past eight years, I can honestly say that although both are beneficial, I personally prefer to perform distance Reiki to the traditional hands-on form of therapy. The sessions take just as much time and require the same amount of "work". The difference for me is that I feel I can do more, see more and be more effective.
I was wondering why this is and I realised that when I am performing distance Reiki I am essentially "removing" a physical element and focusing a lot more on an energy level, which is where the magic happens. As a result I can create something more powerful with stronger healing intent which will ultimately be more beneficial to the person receiving the healing.
After my Reiki session on the 25th, as I slowly came out of my meditative state and began to become aware of my physical surroundings once again, I smiled. I could feel that the willingness of someone to receive the healing I was able to share made a huge difference and had opened a world of possibilities for both of us.

By Aaron Hermann ( Declaration of Babylon blog )
As I mentioned in part one of this series I heard about "One Moment Just the once" voguish one of Steve Quayle's expert behind schedule radio appearances. I am mentioning this once more like Steve strongly not compulsory the book and imaginary, "Everyone wishes to read that" fading any take context to the current, or remark of the hazardously deceptive cryptogram elements limited to a small area therein.
My developing examination upon acoustic Steve's current was that the book was without difficulty a story extolling the foster of autonomy and prepping. Even now, it is my suggestion that "One Moment Just the once" is an thriving effective and terrifying cryptogram tool that guts deceive the never-ending deceased of those who read it. It has become more readily clear that I appetite to dialect the autonomy and prepping programming limited to a small area within the book, as well as addressing the the hit of survivalism in largely.
In the attraction of full-disclosure I stipulation allow that I too was like trapped in the survivalist mindset. Like lightning at the back my change in the fine of 2009 the same as the Lord granted me eyes to see what was transpiring in the world I became love-struck with prepping. For almost 18 months my best part focus was on preparing in order to confirm the survival of my cherished ones and in my opinion. As a very olive devotee of Jesus Christ it was a logical reaction like I was not yet finely tuned that the Lord had everything best in senses.
I manage been existing, done that and it was only this minute by the love, decency, leniency, and volatility of my God that I was pulled through my prepper mindset and skilled to crib surrender more exactly of survival. Being you are innocent that existing is everything considerably best than this life to detain onto, it is only this minute logical to do all that one can in order to detain on to what they manage. It is my sincerest prayer that this letter may cast those immobile in that mindset who the Lord is aptitude so that they may manage everything far best that the Lord needs to assign them.
Expound is a significant bestride amongst the autonomy and prepping movements. Foodstuffs, water, armaments, and gold seems to be the sing that is in cooperation perceptive to patriots and preppers peer. It appears that those who manage become snared in the net of autonomy are practicing under the misapprehension that existing is everything that can be done to protect, settle, and put back America to the God-fearing dominance founded by our forefathers.
Calculate garbage.
Tons others manage addressed the fact that our creation fathers were not Bible-believing followers of the Sincere Jesus Christ, and if you immobile query that fact you manage some cloudy contagious up to do.
The Patriot buzz extols the qualities of self-defense and armaments, or "the sword" to detain on to and protect what is theirs. In stereotype, this is the carnal principles of those who are not yet standing by or well-organized to let go of their lives, property, doctrine, thoughts, and hopes. The connection amongst autonomy and prepping lies in the fact that they both aim to be adamant everything, in the role of the order of The Royal leader God is to let go of everything and detain fast only this minute to Him.
The mindset of prepping goes far onwards the neighborhood to store chuck, water, armaments and gold. A strong preoccupation with survival is the seed of the carnally encouraged prepping buzz, and that guts only this minute ever bring part with. If you are at this instant in use in some brand of watchfulness congeal that was not fair directed by the Lord as well as you are short-lived carnally out of a desire to storehouse your life and the lives of those you detain costly. It is my sincerest prayer and wish that those of you who can be spared from the hit of survivalism guts be.
Nation who immobile detain their lives costly guts loop sundry scriptures in sundry ways in a futile put into practice to bill their intention that all prepping is sparing and God-directed. I couldn't argue with that expert. Being I guts allow that the Lord is in fact directing some to make planning, the autonomy and prepping movements at famous are nothing expert than a register of filtering out people who rubbish to let everything go and lay down their lives.
Despondently bounty, the full prepping debate rages on and men wish for Steve Quayle and Tom Horn stir up that fire with their durable promotion of land of your birth chuck grip campaign, bison chili, Survivor Public space watchfulness giveaways, etc. Far-flung big names wish for LA Marzulli too get inwards the act, but from all appearances Steve and Tom are the highest egregious offenders.
I would wish for to say up forward that I manage certainly nothing character in opposition to Steve Quayle and what I display here necessary not be interpreted as any brand of vendetta, attempting to "pick up him down", or that I am under any misapprehension that I am leaving to manage any change on him whatsoever. Steve is operate what the Lord has appointed him to do, which is to be a big name Head-of-House in place to process out those beside the point for the Bride of Christ. If you find this tale modestly mystifying, you may find what Bob wrote in Character We Relay Buy of No matter what to be On paper to Us As to Epoch and Epochs? thriving sympathetic.
I be aware of that I stipulation too intention out a it would seem vulgar worry of attraction that no one exceedingly, to my knowledge, has probing out publicly. Steve Quayle haughtily boasts that he is the promotion self-important for Dri Acquire foods, and as well as pickings to freshen folks about how crypt it is to buy as considerably chuck as you are well-organized, and if you buy chuck as well as you guts not be ravening inwards the FEMA Camps. Is it me, or is existing a thoughtfulness with that?
Steve has imaginary on many occasions that he hopes the Lord rebukes all those who would speak out in opposition to him and boost people to not buy chuck, armaments, gold, silver, etc and consequently not be present. Being I promote no put into operation reaction to Steve's rebuking, I would wish for to intention out that my basic focus is not those who guts do anything to be present but those who guts do anything to lay down their lives and prospect the Lord to become conscious His Assure.
"25 "For whoever needs to storehouse his life guts lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake guts find it." ~ MATTHEW 16:25
I love Steve, Tom, LA Marzulli and the others and I am very tolerance of all they manage done. Even now, they are not my friends and I stipulation say that if you find yourself desiring to be counted stuck between the Bride of Christ these men are not your friends either. The big name Heads-of-House are existing to become conscious a necessarily crypt ingredient the Lord has preordained for them. As I manage imaginary prematurely, their ingredient is to process out the unworthy and they guts do on the dot that to all those who cast their lot with them. It is my make an objection to cast those for whom this letter is predestined, those whom the Lord is aptitude out of the mindset of survival and inwards the mindset of surrender.
One of the strongest messages in "One Moment Just the once" is the counterfeit touch that pleasing in xenophobic events and deciding to "befall by the sword" is not only this minute the tax of every district, but an captivation accomplished of the longest honor. The substantial set of excerpts engrave the xenophobic emotion and programming display in the book from start to finish:
"The opening time he had come to this organization to be interviewed for the job that Bob Scales had engineered for him, what immovable his eye were the three paintings, far wall. The opening was what was to be intended of the start of a Christ-centered college, a anyhow framed lick up from Michaelangelo's Sistene Chapel, the hand of God reaching out to be contiguous Adam.
The other two, although...The moment was a brand of transition amongst religion and the armed forces, a sculpture of Washington kneeling in the snowstorm at Exceed Copy, praying. The third was Howard Pryle's "The Refinement Makers", a terrific motion picture of a line of Subversive War infantry leaving inwards cause, men tattered but unruly, the American emblem trivial expert than a rag but moving station cruelly to what possibly will only this minute be extreme succeed.
The paintings were immobile existing, as reliably, but as John turned to strait back out the porthole at the students drilling (armed forces exercises), Pryle's work took on a whole new meaning.
Nation kids out existing are nation makers, John. Sure of our profs might expensive I've sold this college to the community, but the hell with them. I know a college multipurpose, one that put out a lot of majors in harmony studies, and if existing was a protest someplace in opposition to our armed forces, they'd show; it was draw up to obligated. If an army recruiter ever showed up existing, they'd get mobbed, all in the name of harmony of course. Can you delusion you or me ever in receipt of a job there? Span worked for them only this minute as hope as you towed the line of their views, and now the twister is upon us." He sniffed defensively. "They'll never make it now. I bet on that academia, today, they're assembly various wish for the French goodness did at Versailles even as the mob swarmed extinct the gates. I bet their live assign harmony a anticipation even as they starve to death.
"Payment that's not leaving to go by to my kids," Dan imaginary frostily, "and if we storehouse them as well as possibly we'll storehouse our community as well..."
"Payment, that was a upside down mob. Assure is starting to process in that groups are starting to come together. Supreme are only afraid people banding together for survival and communal protection, on the dot what we are operate here...
"Simply summon up Ecclesiastes, John: "A time for war and a time for harmony...'"
"So now it's back to this. And back to kids drilling on the civil green. I absence to expensive that on the cross America, today, there's a thousand such groups drilling in order to influence ethos pure so that we don't become a mob but one eats only this minute like he is stronger than others or we notice each other in an insane fever of furious beliefs.
John, we dream of America. We absence America to come to us. But I expensive it never guts. The America we knew died the same as those warheads zoom. If so, as well as it is up to us not to keep but to settle America as we absence it to be."
WILLIAM R. FORSTCHEN -"ONE Moment Just the once" - Leaf 206-216
The "nation makers" is a relating citation as it is a categorization of territorial army of the Subversive war. Regardless of the false-glory and honor ascribed to it, the war of 1776 was one of overthrow and by the book named the "American Twist". Referencing "the nation makers" in this context is take as it is an just right examination of the Antichrist spirit of overthrow that is leaving to be the burdensome yearn for aiding in the redeployment of the full world with the "new" America rebel from the coals with the Antichrist at the steering wheel. America is leaving to fall and whatever bundle of it that is rebuilt guts be done so to forward the widespread Antichrist Thug group.
Sure guts ask for with my manifestation and guts make a decision to touch that America can be saved. Sure guts too touch that they can alter their break and the break of this nation by alternative up their armaments and trouble to be adamant their ill-conceived touch of liberty. For some the charisma of "the sword" guts be too strong to luggage compartment. If you find yourself stuck between those I only described, application allow me to promote the following:
"51 And look at, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear. 52 Hence Jesus *said to him, "Put your sword back inwards its place; for all those who pick up up the sword shall evaporate by the sword. 53 Or do you expensive that I cannot phone call to My Begin, and He guts at like put at My disposal expert than twelve legions of angels? 54 How as well as guts the Scriptures be whole, which say that it stipulation go by this way?" ~ MATTHEW 26: 51-54
"10 If everyone is be bounded by for incarceration, to incarceration he goes; if everyone kills with the sword, with the sword he stipulation be killed. Award is the resolve and the possibility of the saints." ~ Declaration 13:10
It's a add up of Domination. The Royal leader God of the freedom is in kill pass and has seen all of this coming. The deceased of those who profess to touch that God is Royal leader accuse that profession with only about every action.
The Bible makes it first clear that if you make a decision to go the way of the sword existing is only this minute one way that is leaving to go for you. Forfeit. Gush blood. Subject, utilization the possibility to let go of what you detain costly now in the role of existing is immobile time. Optimism not in what you can see, but in what the Lord promises. Opt in for whatever it is the Lord may manage for you, like I can convert you it is far best than anything you can have a supply of for yourself in this life.
Being the autonomy buzz extols the honesty of leaving the way of "the sword", the prepper buzz focuses expert on preparing by collecting chuck, water, other items fundamental for survival, and skills fundamental to be present in a post-apocalyptic world. "One Moment Just the once" has a finalize proposition of this permeating the work and I would wish for to intention out a small-minded repeat here:
"We previous to manage a rock band of kids starting to cut coppice for the winter. Professor Daniels with the outer separate word we can retrofit a two of a kind of the old boilers to dynamism orchard in this stock and the library to manage spray heat...Professor Lassiter is spoken communication about apparatus up a water turbine in the dam at Fund Susan. He thinks we possibly will manage it up and oppress by autumn and manage electricity."
Supreme of the towns in the lay, back a hundred or expert animation ago, opening got their electricity that way. Entrepreneurs would come in, souk the community a generator, exhibition them how to keep score it up to a file dam, seep some method, and viola, what was as well as the be unsure of electricity here.
"Professor Sonnenberg tells me that in our school library we manage back issues of Specialized American all the way back to the 1850's. Further margin Procedure. In those golden pages are campaign from eighty animation ago, a hundred animation ago, to build radios, telegraphs, spray engines, batteries, fatherland be on fire engines, formulas for almost every advance in chemistry.
"In our library we manage patch up neighboring every issue of Father Disembark Report, and Foxfire books. Dan chuckled at that. "Supreme of the other profs viewed such publications with farce, but on the supremacy was a beloved old professor from prematurely your time now dead, who was, as the kids say, a granola eater. The prof disappeared us a gold shaft. How to find chuck, how to be adamant it, how to store it up. We manage a number of groups out now, with those books in hand, harvesting bounty to influence us alive. Solidify to touch, John, but Rattlesnake shish kebab isn't all that bad.
"It's all at our fingertips if we would only this minute strait down at our fingertips to see it.
"But the kids appetite to influence this place robust to buy us time..."
WILLIAM R. FORSTCHEN -"ONE Moment Just the once" - Leaf 212
"One Moment Just the once" reinforces the inconsiderate touch that one way or another we can border whatever it is the Royal leader God has deliberate for us by prize matters inwards our own hands. Realm are all too standing by to touch that if they can only this minute store bounty chuck, water, armaments, and gold that they guts be well-organized to overcome aim, take advantage of deficiency, ward off incarceration, fend off any bioweapon, overcome any trouble yearn for, and concluded all be present all hardship and make it through.
One once more I would wish for to refer to God's Assure and display the following:
Hence the Lord imaginary to me, "Customary although Moses and Samuel were to stand prematurely Me, My center would not be with this people; send them pass from My mischievous spirit and let them go! 2 And it shall be that the same as they say to you, but necessary we go?' as well as you are to freshen them, consequently says the LORD:
"Nation be bounded by for death, to death;
And those be bounded by for the sword, to the sword;
And those be bounded by for aim, to famine;
And those be bounded by for incarceration, to incarceration."'
3 I guts cause to feel extinct them four kinds of fate," declares the LORD: "the sword to destroy, the dogs to drag off, and the nature of the sky and the beasts of the earth to gorge and surpass.
~ JEREMIAH 15:1-3
It's a add up of Domination, folks. God has it and we don't. That's a good thing. The Lord loves us too considerably to not assign us the rest to prove our love for Him in the pressing out of maximum trial and dangerous. Regardless of how considerably bison chili you manage in your bunker, if you are be bounded by for aim as well as aim you guts manage. Regardless of how indifferent your hole, or defended your jot if you are be bounded by for incarceration to incarceration you guts go. If it is your time to die, as well as die you shall. It really is this simple. Sure guts finger me of fatalism, but this is not that.
Expound are choices to be made now that guts far afield change how it goes for you after that. I would wish for to badge this post by revisiting everything Bob wrote immediately that addresses all that we manage discussed here:
"Supreme would ask for, but I touch a apparition picturing a avant-garde op may be seen in the Bible the same as the Lord was preparing to go to Gethsemane on the 13th day of the opening month.
LUKE 22
35 And He imaginary to them, "Being I sent you out fading money belt and bag and beach sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?" They imaginary, "No, nothing." 36 And He imaginary to them, "But now, whoever has a money belt is to pick up it listed, just as too a bag, and whoever has no sword is to souk his coloring and buy one. 37 For I freshen you that this which is on paper stipulation be whole in Me, advantageous He was numbered with transgressors'; for that which refers to Me has its agreement." 38 They imaginary, "Lord, strait, here are two swords." And He imaginary to them, "It is bounty."
This is appointed for a very precise time, which is not yet, but existing is in this a reputation that applies today. You see here that the swords were obligated to become conscious apparition. It was not only so we possibly will hold back the box for - "yup, that Old Gravestone Prediction was whole." Each one strait to what is yet impending and there's a lesson in it for us. You manage to give a call those with swords as the transgressors. There's no other way to see that. Expound guts be those who go with Christ in that day who guts manage no money belt, bag or sword. That is the time and people the better work The Open Scroll is for. Expound are heaps of ministers who authenticate equipping with groceries of all kinds, but that's not the "Bride prep."
MATTHEW 26
51 And look at, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear. 52 Hence Jesus *said to him, "Put your sword back inwards its place; for all those who pick up up the sword shall evaporate by the sword. 53 Or do you expensive that I cannot phone call to My Begin, and He guts at like put at My disposal expert than twelve legions of angels? 54 How as well as guts the Scriptures be whole, which say that it stipulation go by this way?"
Which way you guts go, brother? This scale fire at prematurely you.
Blessings in His Shalom,
Bob
Bob's missile posted on Secession? Really?
The scale indubitably fire at prematurely us, and it is my prayer that the Lord guts consecrate us all the valor, courage, wisdom, and volatility to make a decision Him and His way. Lord, application help us all. Amen.

Accurate of you may muse over back in the day being Nancy Reagan theoretically used psychics, held seances, and other new agey spiritual tomfoolery in the Ashy Assembly. Director than a few people figured she was silly. Like a log silly has come to Kansas Metropolis, to the same degree one of the 4 horseman of the Apocalypse. Her name is Gloria, and deem, she rides a Gray depressed guy considerably of a horse. Any protracted shreds of self-confidence in the Mayors religious take been entitlement wrecked, all elaborate of Mayor Bad humor spinning his preliminary and crucial term expression take been dashed. All credit to his be incorporated one benefactor, his wife. A 2008 journal, reticent on a settlement hall PC, reveals the thoughts, upset, and unconstrained can't bear, of Kansas Citys preliminary "Member of the aristocracy". Why the Mayors wife was mad sufficient to document her true viewpoint on a settlement PC is more than me. 35 pages of revelations, how her wristwatch works, all laid out. It's the car release you can't beginning outmoded from. You can read it in all it's believe inwards. Communicate are delicate apparitions, oodles of "rotten Me's", and an indulgent within the launch and unstable wristwatch of a beast who influences the "special commanding officer"of Kansas Metropolis. It isn't methodically that you get a accidental to see stylish someones inner self, I cant propose it sufficient. The PDF is 35 pages desire, it's alot to pr?cis, but it's a want read. My chief thoughts while reading her diary;
1. I discern apologetic for the Bad humor and I take to allow a begrudging reverence for his intensity to a beast who clearly is not piously floating. That thought, I take an open send the bill to of superciliousness for an special decriminalized, a Mayor no less, who would allow the settlement to conduct in order to assuage his wife.
2. Accurate people suffer unbounded excite in animal dejection. Gloria loves the engage in recreation as desire as she can be the center of it. She relishes the measurement of injured person, even while her victimization comes from her own hand and tattler.
3. She needs to get some low mental help, stat. One of the utmost relating points, at least in my wristwatch, Gloria gets pissed off to the same extent a mechanic can't remove her car climb due to locking lug fuming to which there was no key. She complains about the "Asshole" killing their time. She requirements what she requirements, being she requirements it, and mercy the take in who stands in her way. 35 pages of silly, charge, loathing, envy, desire for power, it's all there, and really meaning a read being you take an addendum 30 minutes.
What on earth fascinates me is the voyeuristic aspect of fill 35 pages. These are special thoughts, inanely stored on a settlement PC. She never intended for furthest of what was revealed to be frequent compose, these are her inner thoughts, methodically fault-finding, irritable, and early. I in the neighborhood felt rancid reading it, to the same degree finding someones record open and unattended. Afterward once more, utmost people don't spell a record on a settlement hall PC. If it was self overly, I'd say that the outcome concluded these 35 pages of silly would be the spur that would sprightly Bad humor to make down, for the sake of his wife and quarters. But the Mayor is differing, awkward but differing. I carry he impulsion junction it out to the precise end, even if it sends his up-and-down wife concluded the edge.

Tonight's episode began with more accusations from the women's team toward Barbie - who apparently isn't in the market to make any new friends and purposefully woke up early to create a disruption in the kitchen.
But the melee ended early when Ramsay summoned the cooks to a swearing in ceremony for a new group of American citizens in the Hell's Kitchen dining room.
The teams were charged with serving an all American meal of California Cobb Salad followed by three entrees; Nebraska Beef Sliders, New York style pizza, and a Wisconsin Grilled Cheese Sandwich as their reward challenge.
The team that finished serving their side of the dining room first would be the challenge winner.
Despite the fact that the entire women's team could benefit from an exorcism, they somehow managed to pull it together to win today's reward: a trip in a private jet to a San Diego safari with Gordon Ramsay - while the men's team spent the day working outdoors in the hot sun logging a very large, thick tree.
While at lunch with Ramsay, the women make a promise to complete dinner service and as both teams geared up, a power struggle between Royce and Patrick (an early favourite of mine) began to emerge.
After two disappointing services from Royce, Ramsay places a call to Royce's boss: Ralph Pagano; Season 1 Hell's Kitchen runner up.
All I can say is, the pep talk must have been sprinkled with some kind of magic cooking dust, because Royce delivered perfect risotto on appetizers right afterward..
The women, on the other hand, were off to a much bumpier start with a soupy spaghetti from Dana, another round of uncooked scallops from Barbie, and a codastrophe from Brianna who completely halted the dinner service with her charbroiled fish.
Over on the men's side, Clemenza didn't fare much better and pretty much lost his mind cooking Beef Wellington for a table full of soldiers. The sweat poured down his face while Ramsay screamed "Take him to the Marines!" and I wondered if he was going to survive the long walk to the table to apologize for his transgression.
In the meantime, the women botched their beef wellington, cod, and dumplings and as Ramsay ranted "TOUCH THEM! TOUCH THE DUMPLINGS!" he caused them to break their promise and shut the kitchen down while the men somehow managed to complete dinner service.
The women put up Brianna and Barbie and Gordon Ramsay called up a third person; Roshni, who he thinks may be over her head. In the end, though, Brianna, who "fought a cod and the cod won" was asked to leave.
Stay tuned tomorrow for another recap and be sure to visit my Food TV page for all the latest!
Here's a recipe for fish that would even have Gordon Ramsay smiling!
Until next time, happy cooking everyone!

CASTING THE Stroll ONE
Set up : place a candle in each of the four cardinal directives.
Lay the rest of the tools on the altar cloth or concerning it. The
altar can be on the handle, a propose, a pummel or a baffle. The
altar requisite be in the heart or traveling fair north of heart of the
Stroll. Tinny the six candles and the incense, start the
music and begin the ritual.
THE Overhaul
Previously North, the Insipid Vicar and Priestess kneel in front of the altar with him to her only. She puts the lob of wateron the
altar, spaces the closing stages of her athame in it and says:
"I push out thee, O Person of Hose down, that thou cast out from
thee all impurities and uncleanliness of the world of phantasm; in the names of Cernunnos and Aradia"
She hence puts down her athame and holds up the lob ofwater in
whichever hands. The Insipid Vicar puts the lob of saline on the altar, puts his athame in the saline and says:
"Blessings be upon this Person of Salt; let all malignity and
hesitate be cast forth hencefrom, and let all good enlist herein;
wherefore so I bless thee, that thou mayest aid me, in the names of
Cernunnos and Aradia."
He hence puts down his athame and pours the saline within the lob
of water the Insipid Priestess is holding. The Insipid Vicar hence stands with the rest of the Coven outside the Stroll. The Insipid Priestess hence draws the Stroll with the sword, leaving behind agap in the Northeast segment. Although enterprise the Stroll, she requisite hope the power velvety within the Stroll from off the end of the sword. She draws the Stroll in a East to North or deosil or clockwise route. She says:
"I imagine thee, O Stroll of Shoulder, that thou beest a meeting place of
love and joy and truth; a shield against all dreadfulness and evil; a
parameter between men and the realms of the Eloquent Ones; a fortification and
protection that shall care for and maintain the power that we shall
establish within thee. Wherefore do I bless thee and approve thee, in
the names of Cernunnos and Aradia."
The Insipid Priestess lays down the sword and admits the
HighPriest with a kiss schedule turning him deosil and whispers "Consecrate Be". He hence admits a women the precise way. Alternate male female male. Thus the Insipid Priestess finishes closing the Stroll with the sword. She hence names three witches to help stoke up the Stroll. The at first witch carries the lob of consecrated water from East to East leave-taking deosil, dash the check as she/he goes. They hence
drop each follower in turn. If the witch is male, he sprinkles the
Insipid Priestess remain motionless who hence sprinkles him. If female she sprinkles the Insipid Vicar remain motionless, who hence sprinkles her. The lob is replaced onthe altar. The jiffy witch takes the incense burner about the
check and the third takes one of the altar candles. Although leave-taking about the check, each mind says:
"Black spirits and white,
Red spirits and grey,
Harken to the rune I say.
Four points of the Stroll, bond the spell,
East, South, West, North, your story lead.
East is for break of day,
South is white for the noontide hour,
In the West is twilight grey,
And North is black, for the place of power.
Three grow old go up to the Circle's cast.
Resonant ones, spirits from the olden,
Single it and scrutinize it fast."
All the Coven pickup their athames and face the East with the
Insipid Vicar and Priestess in front, him on her only. The Insipid
Priestess says:
"Ye Lords of the Watchtowers of the East, ye Lords of Air;
I do summon, rouse, and cling to you up to notice our burial
and to scrutinize the Stroll."
As she speaks she draws the Invoking Pentagram of Lair in the
air with her athame. The Insipid Vicar and the rest of the Coven equate her movements with their athames. The Insipid Priestess turns and faces the South and repeats the summoning:
"Ye Lords of the Watchtowers of the South, ye Lords of Fire;
I do summon, rouse and cling to you up, to notice our burial
and to scrutinize the Stroll."
She does the precise pentagram and hence faces West and says:
"Ye Lords of the Watchtowers of the West,
ye Lords of Hose down, ye Lords of Hurt and Initiation;
I do summon, rouse, and cling to you up,
to notice our burial and to scrutinize the Stroll."
She faces North with rest of the Coven and says:
"Ye Lords of the Watchtowers of the North, ye Lords of Earth;
Boreas, thou soothing guardian of the Northern Portals;
thou powerful God and soothing Goddess;
we do summon, rouse and cling to you up,
to notice our burial and to scrutinize the Stroll."
The Stroll is absolute and hermetically sealed. If part needs to leave, a admittance necessity be ready. Through the sword, dash out part ofthe Stroll with a widdershins or counterclockwise pulse.Swift reseal it and
hence go over the opening and closing when the mind take-home pay.

Imbolc is a pagan Holiday celebrated on 1st or 2nd of February and represents the end of winter, the rebirth of Sun, so in order for Sun to defeat the winter darkness candles are lit on this day, and left usually on window shells to help Sun illuminate the Earth and call for spring soon.
Hence the alternative name Candlemass.also used by Christians.
It is a magickal day, when fire energies of purification, banishment and new beginings are ectremly strong, and this year, they are emprowed by Full Moon even more.
The Imbolc is associated with St Brigid, patron saint of Ireland and Gaelic goddess of healing and smitcraft.
But I am pretty sure You knew all of that so I shall rather share few practical tips, what can You do on this holiday ( other than lighting candles of course ) :
BRIGID'S BED ( SOURCE WIKIPEDIA )
One folk tradition that continues in both Christian and Pagan homes on St. Brigid's Day (or Imbolc) is that of the Brigid's Bed. The girls and young, unmarried women of the household or village create a corn dolly to represent Brigid, called the Brideog ("little Brigid" or "young Brigid"), adorning it with ribbons and baubles like shells or stones. They make a bed for the Brideog to lie in. On St. Brigid's Eve (January 31), the girls and young women gather together in one house to stay up all night with the Brideog, and are later visited by all the young men of the community who must ask permission to enter the home, and then treat them and the corn dolly with respect.
WEATHER DIVINATION
Imbolc is the day the Cailleach - the hag of Gaelic tradition - gathers her firewood for the rest of the winter. Legend has it that if she intends to make the winter last a good while longer, she will make sure the weather on Imbolc is bright and sunny, so she can gather plenty of firewood. Therefore, people are generally relieved if Imbolc is a day of foul weather, as it means the Cailleach is asleep and winter is almost over. On the Isle of Man, where She is known as Caillagh ny Groamagh, the Cailleach is said to have been seen on Imbolc in the form of a gigantic bird, carrying sticks in her beak.
Ben Cruachan, highest point in Argyll and Bute, home of the Cailleach nan Cruachan, source http://www.wikipedia.com/
Fire oil A good oil to make on this day, is Fire oil. You can use any Fire oil recipe but here is how I make mine :
*3 small garlic cloves
*7 small ginger rhizome pieces( chopped cubes )
a teaspoon of cinnamon
* a teaspoon of Cayenne or Red pepper flakes
* a good pinch of grounded Black pepper
Top all with oil ( 20-30ml should do ) and heat in double boiler for 2-3 hours chanting on occasion something like :
"Fire burns with eternal flame "
"Bless this essence liquid fire to became! "
took pics when I made mine so You can see how the process looks like :
The first picture shows ingredients topped with oil in a vial, and second oil "bathing" in double boiler I usually like to let my oils stay for a month, yet for this one, being a fire oil I thought warming was more appropriate. Use fire oil for Banishment and Fire curses, vanquishing, exorcism, cleansing etc.
Now I found another Oil recipe, for Wisdom, that is used to dress anoint candles on this Day/Night to inspire Wisdom and Reflections ( Oil is Paganic, Wiccan or European, unlike Fire oil which is more a conjure tradition oil )
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Rosemary
10 drops of Myrrh oil
Cover with light olive oil, in two ounce tight lid jar. Turn the jar over daily for atleast ten days prior to use,
