(Let's try that again...)
(walks in, his memories of another place adding to this one)
(hums as hardwood plank floors worn resilient with age formed under his steps, growing upwards into walls and a roof of similar wood. Forming a large open area building)
(Rafters high and deep beneath an attic level formed, with a spiral staircase leading upwards from the main floor)
Little at a time...
(an ornate round door formed to his left, enameled in green and gold. To his right a bar that ran more than half the length of the building. Beyond that to the right still, a large fireplace, with chairs and couches to sit upon. A jukebox appeared between that and the bar, with music ready to be played)
There we go...
(beyond that formed a dining area with tables and chairs and a kitchen beyond that. To its left, a large balcony overlooking a green valley below)
(throws his coat on the coat tree near the door, he walked to the fireplace, flames going as he sat down in one of the chairs and relaxed)
There we go... just like home... |

Good Dreaming to you...
Your experiences would not be the first I've heard of or come across or was told of... Nor will they be the last I'll hear of...
Experiences and encounters like this have been happening all over. And you're right. Things are awakening: both good and evil. Ancient and beyond ancient. Things and beings and deities we remember, and those which we have long forgotten. It's the end of an Age that approaches. The end of one revolution of the Wheel, and Ascension is right there within reach. But not without a fight. Everything in existence is gearing up for it. |

Never be afraid to share dreams like that... Especially not in the magickal community... You never know who might be reading or listening, and believe... |

It's been a couple years since I've been here...
<cracks his knuckles>
I'm a Christian Mystick. In shorthand, I'm a Christian who believes in and practices magick. That's severe shorthand. And not to be mistaken with Christian mystic. As everyone can tell you, the spelling makes all the difference.
I serve but one Deity. God. And I'm not talking about how mainstream Christianity explains Him, because honestly, that's a severe limitation about that, and besides, for being the PR of the Divine, they get things assbackwards. God - Who I name the Eternal, Illuvatar, Eru, the One, the One-Above-All, you get the idea - is far too big a Spirit: the biggest there is, to be copyrighted by any one belief. Call Him Ahura Mazda, the Great Spirit, the Goddess, etc. She encompasses both genders, and It really is neither at the same time, so if He's not worried about it, and She's not, then why are we? Move along folks.
I believe in God as the holy Trinity - Father, Son, Holy spirit - and that She came down in flesh as Jesus. Why doe this sound impossible to some people. This is the Eternal we're talking about. It can do anything He likes and wants and needs to do, because frankly speaking, She Is What It Is. You follow me? Good.
That being said, I believe in the existence of all other deities. I do and don't ascribe to the philosophy that all deities are but the One. Because that takes away from variety, and the Creator loves variety. I believe in a certain hierarchy. The Angels, of course. Then a singular group of High Gods who serve as personifications of the different aspects of Reality. And then the regular gods, with each God corresponding to a particular High God that they answer to. Then demigods that do the same. And that in one way or another each has their job and part in watching over different areas, aspects regions and personalities of Reality. Like a philosophy goes, there is a spirit to everything.
I believe in the Good people of the Native Americans, the Fae of the Isles, the unseen people of the Orient, etc. I believe in the existence of demons, as I've fought a few minor ones. I talk with the trees. Stood in battle with the Morrigan, chatting briefly with the Green Man, trying to peg down Hekate for some mead, ran into Cernnunous briefly, nearly got set up on a date with one of Orion's earthly daughters by Orion himself, am on family terms with the majority of the personifications, etc. etc. etc.
I am a minister, mage, and sorceror. Wanderer and rover. Traveller and seeker. Cartographer and heraldrist. Vexillologist and scolar. Book geek and warrior. Guardian and leader of a micronation. Learner and elementalist. Some call me a shaman, walk-in, and wise man,... though that's in the eye of the beholder, honestly. I just figure I know enough to know better.
I hold the Bible, the Koran, the Vedas, the works of Tolkien, the works of Robert Jordan, Werewolf the Apocalypse, Wraith the Oblivion, Changeling the Dreaming, Vampire the Masquerade, Mage the Ascension, and all their sourcebooks as being sacred. You might call any or all of them fiction,... but there's cores of truth to every fiction: some larger than others. Oh yeah, and don't forget the Chronicles of Narnia, the works of Terry Brooks, His Dark Materials, among some of my holy and semi-holy books. They parallel too much in reality for it to ever be completely made up. At least in mine and others' opinions.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND The Dresden Files too!
To put it shortly, as this is just another nutshell, there's little that I wouldn't believe in, and even less that would surprise me. I've seen too much, fought too much, died too much, came back too much, and live too much to disbelieve much of it at all. Just think of the parable of the Six Blind Men and the elephant, and then sit back and take a better look at Reality.
And tell me what YOU see.
Good Dreaming and Blessed Be. |

Unfortunately, it willnae' be by any mortal... A mortal in the end would have mercy... It'll be by something else... |

(stands gently, humming)
Fare the well, my boy,... as you wander this night...
Be not fear'd in the darkness... My heart is your light...
As you go, brave Men of Erin:... Faith and love by your side...
I will dream of your peace in the night...
Please don't cry, my mother,... as you sit by the hearth...
I will dance your memory... with joy in my heart...
I will go now and pray,... as I travel this land,...
And live by the lessons you gave....
Fare the well, my boy,... as you wander this night...
Be not fear'd in the darkness... My heart is your light...
As you go, brave Men of Erin:... Faith and love by your side...
I will dream of your peace in the night...
Please don't cry, my father,... as you sit by the hearth...
I will dance your memory... with the joy in my heart...
I will go now and pray,... as I travel this land...
And live by the lessons you gave...
Fare thee well, my boy... as you wander this night...
Be not fear'd in the darkness... My heart is your light...
As you go, brave Men of Erin... Faith and love by your side...
I will dream of your peace in the night...
Please don't cry, my children... as you stand by my grave....
I have danced your memories... all of my days...
I will go now and pray,... as I travel this land,...
And live by... the lessons... you gave...

Celticradio has my loyalty. I already called my congressmen to stand up for the new Internet Radio act to save interent radio. But paying more is something I'd also be willing to do to keep it going. |

I'm going to go out on a limb here, and guess that Nightchild's saying that the Pagan mainstream has become as intolerant as the Christian mainstream. Correct me if I'm wrong. However, if I hit the mark, it is sadly true. I, myself, have been bashed by the pagan minstream in the past over here in the States. As well as the Christian mainstream, seeing as how my beliefs are sort of all inclusive. |

The balefire(or bonfire) is a ritual part in many beliefs, often of purification and consecration. In ancient times, cattle: important symbols of wealth and status, were led through the smoke of a bonfire. Couples who were to be wed on May Day would leap through the flames of the bonfire to seal their vows. Coals from a bonfire would be taken home to light the fires in family hearths, a practice thought to bring good fortune. It was also believed that the residents of the Faery realm were incapable of producing fire themselves; embers of bonfires would be carried to the underworld and tended there. In other beliefs, the balefire was used to mark safe havens on the long winter nights, lighting the way home and abroad for weary travellers.
The Balefire Awards were made to bring recognition to and award those who have made a positive difference in the magickal and pagan communities, as well as in the world community. We believe that all those who have made a difference should be recognized and rewarded for their works and deeds.

Dream Well tonight, you and your family... And do not give up... As a song says, "Anything's possible, if you believe..."
You're not alone... Good Dreaming to you... and Blessed Be...

| QUOTE (quiesce @ 01-Aug-2006, 09:30 PM) | Hey there everyone! My name is Sam, and I'm from Ontario, Canada. I'm 15 years old, and I've just recently become obsessed with all things Celtic. We can blame Google for having too much information readily available!
Celtic Radio is the only thing I listen to nowadays, except for Paddy Rock Radio on Fridays. My current favourite band is Flogging Molly, and though I haven't heard them on Celtic Radio yet there are plenty of bands I love that are played, like Barleyjuice, and Highland Reign.
I hope to someday go and visit Ireland but until then I'll be listening to Celtic Radio. |
sorry for being late on my part... but welcome home all the same... |
