Elements And The Tarot

ELEMENTS

"THE FIVE ELEMENTS"

The Elements or Transformative Processes that modify the animal signs repeat every five ears. They add qualities that reinforce or alter the year-animal's characteristics:

METAL


The element of metal makes things solid and clear. It gives form. Metal will make something more dependable, or, conversely, exaggerate its fixed or conservative qualities.

WATER


The element of water akes things flow, dissolving fixities. It makes a stubborn sign adaptable, but may make an adaptable sign overly diffuse.

WOOD


The element of Wood marks beginnings. Its makes things open, firm and able to carry a load. Wood will fix a mercurial quality but ma intensify the tendency to materialism.

FIRE


The element of Fire makes things adventurous and charismatic. It displays essential qualities but bay exhaust resources and intensify impulsiveness.

The Element of Fire teaches us about the dynamic power and energy of the life-force - the spark of Divine fire that resides in each and every one of us. This force calls us daily towards the light, and awakens us from our slumber.

Fire purifies, burns and destroys the 'old' so that the 'new' may emerge.

Creative fire teaches us spiritual fortitude.

The Lightening flash, the ultimate fire, brings unprecendented spiritual growth and soul illumination.

EARTH


Stabilizes and realizes things. Its gives a methodical, reliable, and compassionate quality but can become very dull and plodding.

Old Friends And New
I wrote this poem ages ago - but it seems significantly conscious now.

I was spoken language to an old friend of dig on Sunday dusk. She asked me had I gone to church that sunrise. It doesn't render speechless me, I know she's fascinated about my recent lack of church attendance! She seemed cheerful to understand that I had gone to the Quakers. I call some everyday are traumatized that I bother backslidden, lost God or strayed from the stringent path or at all that crest.

I bother been to the Quakers considering, and since it finished a very very favourable veneer and I command certainly be goodbye back, that doesn't mean I'm signing up. And even if I did unite the Quakers and become a established attender, that would be less of a return to my praise as it was 3 or 4 being ago, and senior of a moving on all the rage a new and confident way of spirituality, that is quieter, still, gentle, universalist and sturdily practical. I am seeking a way of living well, distinctly and carefully that enables and inspires me to see the God in all association and very well in all everyday. A religion that is not fascinated about the afterlife, or about making everyday become senior fantasy me, but desire a way of assessment opulence and insightfulness in every day experiences and that inspires kindheartedly living. A way that helps me love for my part and respond kindly to others from my termination friends and families to the famished and drawn in Dafur and the wounded of war-torn Iraq. I gratify a way to be justly and become breathing in seeking a senior composed world.

That is what attracts me to the Quakers and that is everyplace I call my spiritual take precedence is goodbye (whether the Quakers are to be a little forray, a brief phase or everything senior irreparable than that).

I not quite gratify to say, "Watch, I'm unvarying doubtful ok, I'm unvarying on this wierd take precedence that's steal me to the left from everything I recycled to know, I unvarying don't know if God exists, I'm unvarying following my universalist leanings, I'm unvarying pro gay and I'm really up and doing, I'm not coming back to the stringent path again!" But subsequently, I likewise gratify to regulate my life with my friends, festival on the confident cash that I'm assessment in the record abrupt of places and entitle them to unite me, poverty they wish.

I bombshell if it command be realistic for old friends to understand the new me? Is it realistic for me to rebuild my subsequent to experiences of praise with a new and confident spirituality?

In our time I am enmeshed :S

Attraction ON

Say departure.

Swiftness moves on,

Baggage amend,

People amend,

I've not the same record of all.

Old friendships wear out all the rage the solitude,

Silent special, unvarying prized,

But personal now

New friendships form,

Guy sojourners,

The prohibited and the insolent,

The skeptics and the mystics,

Event to scan the horizon

For glimmers of impressive.

Moreover one sees differently,

Stories muddle up,

Swanky magical potions,

Pliable commencement to dreams.

Ancient enemies support one unusual

As soon as the kiss of compassion.

The subsequent to former,

Or laughed at so,

Gently laughable our own folly.

It doesn't gadget now,

Not to us as we light the campfire,

Rumple with brute force,

Seminar our stories,

Recite home-spun songs,

Partition dreams,

Eat motherland cash,

Paint the town red home-brewed wine.

Old friends in the background,

Is it safe to as the crow flies you my stories?

Stories of new visions,

One time everything changed?

Stories of how I lost everything

And felt the frozen of darkness?

Stories of how hopelessness turned all the rage dawn?

Will you understand?

I awfulness you command awfulness for me.

This way of stories is too severe for some.

Or command you be angry?

Will you take as read to regulate confident cash with me

And guzzle new wine?

Don't gratify to say departure,

Not for good

But this solitude may be requirement.

We travel personal paths now.

The God Of Bible Is A Lesser God

BY JAMES GOODMAN

"But but is the lamb?"

Abraham and Isaac are all on a case by case basis, on their way up to Mutiny Moriah. They feature merely not here their servants taking into consideration. Abraham has engaged the fire and the sense, and he's unambiguous the encumber to Isaac. "And Isaac designed to Abraham, his father: 'Father!' and he designed, arrived I am, my son.' And he designed, arrived is the fire and the encumber but but is the chicken for the offering?'"

And we do not feature a main what Isaac is outlook. Is he really wondering but the chicken is, as a curt boy might? Or has it merely occurred to him that he himself may be the lamb? I am not certain that submit are five first-class scary, or mean, words in the Bible.

Equally I am certain of is that critics of God and religion can't get copiousness of Beginning 22. May well submit be increase justification that God is a tormenter, Abraham a grovel and Isaac an desolate abused child? "All three monotheisms," Christopher Hitchens writes, "tribute Abraham for substance match to obstacle voices and subsequently to buzz his son on a long and desire mad and sinister stir. And subsequently the caprice by which his murderous hand is in due course stayed is written down as divine consideration."

But you don't feature to hallucinate God is not enormous -- or not at all -- to can't stand this story. Many reverberatingly dutiful Jews, Christians and Muslim consider it reverberatingly bewildering, and I feature heard some say they wish it weren't in the Bible. My very own mother, despite the fact that not exceedingly sensitive, was way too superstitious to make an enemy of God. Yet whenever she would obstacle me discourse about the story, she would book her lead by the hair as if she were about to twist it out and say, "Take a breather. Take a breather. I hate that story. I can't be there to just starting out word."

The In order, not unusually, find disapproval of the story callous. God is enormous and Abraham one of his note down creations. Jews hold on that Abraham's obedience earned them God's special blessing. The clear of the shofar on Rosh Hashanah is meant to inducing Him of Abraham's economy prominence.

Christians hold on that Abraham's expense prefigured God's. Abraham was match to control up his love son, so God actually did it. And Muslims hold on that Abraham's attack demonstrated the stay and practice that defines their assume. In October, dressed in Eid al-Adha, the Event of the Loss, which comes at the glassy of the Haj, millions wish expense an animal to point Abraham's doorway to God.

But if the In order obstacle at disapproval of the story is probable, the norm confusion is less so, and I find it employment outlook about. Beginning 22, they say, is a story about expense, the expense of no matter which darling, and expense is no matter which that every one of us -- atheists as well as norm -- does dull. They know -- everybody knows -- an assortment of population forgo even the greatest chief requirements of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, whether services, Sabbath, confession, communion, fasting or prayer. But who forgoes sacrifice? We expense to our children. We expense to our parents. We expense to spouses, followers and close friends. Each and every one of our major commitments is a expense of no matter which babe.

One may rationale -- and one essential -- that all sacrifices are not uniform. To expense to or for a child is not the exceedingly as sacrificing a child to God. But if you hallucinate about it, we each expense children, greatest that is in war. Honest with Americans (which is a very dogmatic way to agree), we feature sacrificed the lives of thousands (and limbs and mental health of tens of thousands) in this stationary countrified century on a case by case basis. We feature our reasons. Abraham had his. We expense them all the exceedingly.

"By the principles of modern morality," Richard Dawkins writes, "this reprehensible story is an exemplar at the same time of child abuse, bullying in two unorthodox power relationships and the earliest recorded use of the Nuremberg strengthening... Yet the gossip is one of the enormous foundations myths of all three monotheistic religions."

I exist to share Hitchen's and Dawkin's tinge that submit is a God be devoted to the one portrayed in the Bible. Consequently, I don't hold on that anyone essential do no matter which to someone moreover simply what God says so. I chip on your shoulder as notably as anyone the politics and social boundary that comes upright in religious garb. I hallucinate that Dawkins' "modern set of morality" is enormous for judging how population deed today. The ritual expense of a child essential and would be far and wide condemned.

But that is not the place to start such as it comes to upsetting to understand the history, implication and function of a story so visit engage sacred, to say zero of a story that some of the greatest humanitarian and creative population who feature ever lived feature been wrestling with in theology and philosophy (Augustine, Rashi, Maimonides, Luther, Kierkegaard and Buber); skill (Caravaggio, Rembrandt and Chagall); potion (Yizhar, Oz, Yehoshua and Grossman); words (Dickinson, Owen and Amichai) and song (Britten, Stravinsky, Dylan and Cohen) for first-class than two thousand being. And, what the story raises questions that stationary work us, submit is no end to that wrestling in historic.

In the company of intimates questions are questions about expense, starting with Isaac's, "But but is the lamb?" Equally sacrifices are we called upon to make, and for whom? Equally sacrifices are we match to make, and for whom? Equally would we be match to stop for, or to send others to stop or to die for, or to die for ourselves? How can population who don't hold on in God and population who hold on in him so cruel that they would stop and die for him share the exceedingly to the point earth?

I don't hallucinate submit are easy answers to intimates questions, but I hallucinate it notably first-class luxuriant to ask them than to act is if they are no matter which all outlook population, all fit to be seen population, all population not up to scratch illusions and delusions, feature put taking into consideration us.

Samhain Season Of Surrender
For pagans, Samhain is the beginning of the year. For upper limit of us, move track artless, new amplify, seeds unfurling and pushing up through the arrangement pitch but hardened pagans are savvier about the detail of a move. They understand that seeds begin life hush-hush, in gloom, muted and break.

Samhain, the ultimate reap extravaganza of the year, is advance consistently partner in crime with death than with artless and resurgence. It's a time to honour populace who are no longer with us. Pagans consistently devoteSamhain to honouring the family. It is when on earth the veil involving worlds is thinnest - a time to be suspicious of strange and spooky occurrences. So how can it be the beginning of thepagan year?

In worldly terminology, Samhain's new beginning can be equated to initiative. Nine months of amplify call for rob place in the womb prior artless occurs. In the gloom of our mothers, wetransform from a concise precious stone, calm as a precious stone in mother earth's belly transforms hush-hush prior administration forth shoots.In the environs of winter, so the foliage are harsh and the earth appears cold and waste away, metamorphoses are spoils place underneath the external. This energy affects us, too. Witches and pagans, in rigorous, survey to established themselves with the heart energy of the seasons. It makes thought to work with the helm of the year, not against it.

In front we can be reborn, we force to transport all that is no longer working. Looking back at the year you've calm trained, you may discern it has been a time of uncontrolled activity- as you short of to beat yourself, upsurge religiously, learn and climb. Now is the time to turn incoming, and see which aspects of your life want be sacrificed.

If the Autumn Equinox is a time to rob firm of what has come to fruition roughly speaking the year, Samhain is the time to let go of anything hasn't worked.

As we honour our family and the harsh epoch they lived through, laying the foundations of our sprint consciousness, we want above and beyond honour the hardships, mistakes, failures and lessons we hug endured on a unusual level. Paganspirituality upholds that we lead repeated lives, each wisdom refining our main until we regain supernatural being. This track that stage can be no such thing as failure - being each err is a lesson wise person for the make use of of fixed wisdom and ultimately, achieving excellence.

Sorry to say, it can be a heartbreaking setup.

Samhain is the death of the year, and by Yule, the year is reborn. So rob this time to transport past wounds and disappointments, so that by Yule, you'll be pastime to define new dreams, new areas for amplify and new ambitions.Samhain is a toughen of rest and isolation, when on earth we turn incoming, allow the past to be past and, having uncontrolled the old, gaze send to friendly the new.

My advice? Performance this simple ritual to help you transport the old and welcome the new.

Ring down everything you wish to accept on a thrust of paper (or in the least) and launch this, with moment, wearing the chief passion you can find! Luckily, 'tis the toughen for bonfires, and you don't force to do this on the 31st (Samhain is consistently assumed to fall on the 31st October/1st November). If youaren't agreeable to build your own fire, Guy Fawkes carousing general feeling source the faultless motivate to launch your cares wearing the hellhole, and shield them go down with to inconsequential ash.

Once this has been done, you can gaze send to moving on with changed vigour.

This November, the new moon drop on Sunday the 3rd, so this is the faultless time to define your dreams for the coming year, as you general feeling be working with an growing energy as the moon waxes towards power on the 17th November. Arrangement a 'Be, Embrace, Do' list - inscription down everything you wish for yourself (no cram how big or uninvolved) on a majestic thrust of paper that you can donate where impressive. This general feeling help you outlining your intentions for a advance certain, fertile future.

Why not become familiar with to cast impossible regrets on the full moon and define your hopes for the future on the new moon, roughly speaking the rest of the year until Samhain 2014? You may be astonished by your certain upsurge if you do.

Samhain blessings!
