CYBER WICCA
Cyber Wicca-the art of living that integrates rational and irrational process through mythopoetic structures primarily from Wicca, then neo-Paganism and other related religious belief systems. It should incorporate knowledge from newer and emerging humanistic sciences. Principles of ethical self-programming as written of by Timothy Leary, John Lilly, Robert Anton Wilson, Antero Alli, and John Hyatt should be incorporated into the relational processes, those setting between solar and lunar knowledge.
It should be a political-religious-psychological system to support and meet the needs of individuals who feel both a romantic and classical approach is needed in their life. These needs could be formatted into solar and lunar knowledge bases, rational, irrational and relational process could all be used to a maximal degree.
Cyber Wicca could incorporate many of the concepts contained in Humanist Manifesto II.
Cyber Wicca should be a newer religious system that is more importantly a mode of thinking. Smart thinking usually leads to smart living. Additionally the application of Cyber Wicca to mundane life should be easy and seamless. Instead of taking the individual out of the social complex it should enable them to integrate easily with the social complex.
Cyber Wicca should appeal to the atheist as well as the religionist as it focuses upon mythopoetic stories and structures and the mystical connections between what is and is not seen, as opposed to dogmatic theoretical structures.
Theoretical structures could be included as long as they are considered metaphorical structures or models existing within the human mind first and foremost. These structures can then be used to ferret out deep personal meaning.
Kingdoms or Domains are used metaphorically. More properly they represent areas of interest. Higher and lower relate to density of item more than social, cultural or ethical placement. Higher and lower display some cultural heritage. Higher should normally refer to more dense, thus would usually be considered the Lower Kingdoms in spirit focused theoretical structures.
"EXTERNAL (PUBLIC) Faces"
RELIGIOUS ASPECTS--LOW DOMAIN
The low domain or Kingdom, the basis of the religious belief system, should reflect WoMankind's ethical relationship to their home planet. The Earth can be personified or considered the Grandmother or Mother of WoMankind, depending upon personal focus. It could be called Mom, Mother or the Matrix, the space enabling the existence of all physical and non-physical local planetary lifeforms. ["The solar processes could consider this a "SELF CHECK" to prohibit WoMankind from polluting their environment to the detriment of all lifeforms.]
Other Matrixes may exist. Cyber Wicca should be concerned with local planetary manifestations without denying the existences of other Matrixes.
Other personified or romantic entities could exist within the matrix. These could be the Lady and Lord and be more important or of a relatively more immediate nature being seen as doorways to other entities; other spaces, physical energetic natures or psychic spaces.
WORKING OF THE CRAFT--MID DOMAIN
The metaphorical mid domain or Middle Kingdom could be the workings of the Craft. At the beginning level the emphasis could be upon the physical. Special tools could be selected for an individual or group. These tools may or may not reflect traditional usage but should be more appropriate for a culture and/or geographical locale than for a traditional usage.
Special robes may be appropriate. Nudity could be more useful for metaprogramming. The individuals background should be considered before choosing tools or coverings. If the individual were normally a naturist the metaprogramming tool could be robes, etc.
Tools and rituals could be used for immediate metaprogramming efforts. Dramatic ritual could be used to advantage for both individual programming or group alignment.
Experiments in communication with non-physical or discarnate entities could be a major focus. New modes of relationship in sexual or emotional life could be incorporated providing members feel comfortable with the activities. Safety, both physical and emotional, should be paramount. Training of individuals for incorporation may be needed to assist them in their growth into unknown areas.
PHYSICAL SCIENCES INCORPORATED--HIGH DOMAIN
The metaphorical high domain or Kingdom could be the human and physical knowledge systems, ie, health (BIRTHING, CHILD CARE AND PHYSICAL HEALTH), nutritional, exercise, cosmetic and creative knowledge systems, ie. sewing, cooking, building sciences, gardening and organic farming techniques, and personal defense techniques.
Cyber Wicca could define the extent or degree of immersion in a Domain. The individual or group could decide for themselves what extent they need to go.
ORGANIZATION
Cyber Wicca could attempt to incorporate proven techniques of cell or smaller group management while retaining intimacy. Cyber Wiccan leaders could be of either sex, of any sexual preference, but must be emotionally sound. They may choose their own names and titles. Or Cyber Wicca may assign a title in order to establish a somewhat formalized but unrestricted tradition.
Group or cell size should be held to about 2 to 15. However any number of cell members may be used providing genuine intimacy is maintained.
Cyber Wicca should attempt to meet the economic and political needs of its members. Resources are available that address political activities in cells. An economic base must be established in Cyber Wiccan method. Should a social threat arise individual members may need to support themselves in a strange or different environment. Personal enrichment and empowerment as opposed to personal aggrandizement should be the focus enabling the member to live well in any difficult or strange economic or political environment.
"INTERNAL FACES"
These are internal considerations not usually presentable to the public at large. Pearls are delicate, we need not dirty them. Internal faces can be determined at a later time.
Cyber Wicca is a game; the game of Life. Play it!
I do hereby place into the public domain the noun, name and/or term "CYBER WICCA". Any and all may use it without cost, fee or royalty. And none may charge cost, fee or royalty for its usage.

"The fifth (of ten) short stories featuring Gardner Fox's Niall of the Far Travels appeared in issue #33 (January 1980) of Dragon", in a short story entitled "The Eyes of Mavis Deval." Interestingly, this is the first short story in the series that didn't receive the cover image. I'm not sure much can be made of this, since some of the subsequent short stories "do "get cover images (though not all of them), but it's worth noting nonetheless.
This installment in Niall's saga begins, as so many of its predecessor did, with a girl, the Mavis Deval of the title, whom Niall first spots on a dais in a slave market and to whom he is inexplicably drawn.
It was her eyes that drew his stare as he sat astride the high-peak saddle of his stallion, there on the edge of the huge slave market. They were a brilliant green, those eyes, and it seemed to Niall of the Far Travels as he looked, that there was a tiny flame glowing in each pupil.
Niall stood in the stirrups, lifting his giant body upright. Clad in the silver chainmail of his rank as High Commander of the armies of Urgrik, with the scarlet cloak hanging from his wide shoulders, he was ignorant of the men and women who turned to regard him.
All he was aware of was the girl.This story continues the tradition of Fox's previous ones in that, while not necessarily a direct sequel to the previous story in the series, it nevertheless follows it in clear chronological order, unlike, say, Howard's Conan tales, which bounce back and forth across the whole of the Cimmerian's life. Speaking of Conan, Fox's description of Niall's actions toward the slave girl and of the barbarian's lifestyle sets him apart from his inspiration.
Niall paced the black stallion slowly over the cobblestones of the city, wondering at the eldritch impulse that had made him buy this girl. He owned no slaves, he did not believe in slavery, though it was practiced everywhere in his world. Well, that was easy enough to handle. He would free the girl, give her some gold, and send her on her way.
And yet-
There was something about her that appealed to him. He had never paid much attention to women, except for a tavern girl now and then, to assuage the hungers of his flesh. Perhaps it had been the sort of life he had, wandering here and there across his world, that had made him lead this almost monastic life.To read of "any "pulp fantasy character as having led an "almost monastic life" is unusual, all the moreso when the character in question is a mighty-threwed barabrian. It's little things like that endear these stories to me, despite their lightness. Gardner Fox may not be the most "original "of writers, but he nevertheless imbues his pastiche work with imagination, playing with one's expectations and reworking familiar characters and plots into things that somehow transcend their origins.
Hating slavery and having "no room in [his] life for a girl," Niall intends to free Mavis Deval, after he has given her some decent clothes and some money to make her way in the world. Oddly, Mavis has no desire to leave Niall's side, which arouses the barbarian's suspicion. She attempts to use her considerable charms to win his affection but to little avail; he still wishes to free her and have her out of his life. Realizing this, the girl then reveals that she knows the location of "a very big treasure," whose location she learned from men speaking on the caravan on which she traveled with the other slaves.
"This "piques Niall's interest, but, even so, he is wary and decides to consult with a wizard of his acquaintance, Danko Penavar. When he tells the old man about the treasure Mavis mentioned, Penavar warns him against seeking it.
"It is not good, that treasure, Niall. Be advised. Forget about it."
Niall grinned. "But there is a treasure?"
"Oh, yes. But it is cursed. Sisstorississ himself lays claim to it, and Sisstorississ is a jealous god."Niall had run afoul of the snake god Sisstorississ in an early story, which inflames his curiosity about the treasure rather than dissuading him from seeking it. After consulting with the wizard, he then sets out, with Mavis Deval, to the hills of Kareen, where she claims the treasure lies. Niall fully expects a nasty surprise to await him, but he is at least prepared for it -- or so he thinks.
As I said earlier, "The Eyes of Mavis Deval" isn't a particularly original story, at least in terms of its basic ideas. Yet, Gardner Fox does a superb job of taking a well-worn plot and stock characters and imbuing them with lively interest. Like the previous entries in this series, this is a fun story engagingly told, displaying more than enough cleverness to hold my attention. I liked it a lot.

THE ATHAME KNIFE BY JOSEPH Athame Knife History and BackgroundThe athame knife is a ritual dagger that is used by Wiccans and Neo Pagans in rituals and spells as an extension of their body. The athame in Wicca is traditionally a male principal, or a male symbol representing the reproductive organ of the Horned God who impregnated the Goddess Gia to give birth to the Earth and nature. The athame knife is traditionally either black handled or wooden handled, with the blade made of steel. Wood is often used in an athame blade because of it's representation of Nature and the Earth. A tree was either sacrificed or already dead, and the wood was recycled into the athame so that it may be continued to give life and energies once again, almost like a symbolic rebirth. It is not exactly clear as to why the black handle became a traditional, though many texts and historic refrences point back to King Solomon who was said to use a black handle knife in his rituals and spells. This black handled blade then became a symbol and a staple to the athame since Solomon was revered as one of the greatest wizards to ever have lived in real life folk lore. Whatever handle blade you decide to use or choose for your athame, it is always best to use steel for the blade. Iron is not considered a good metal for an athame because traditionally this metal is soft and weak when put under heat and will melt. Since fire is such a strong symbolic element within Wicca and Paganism, many rituals call for it and often times, the athame needs to be plunged into a fire and must with stand the heat. For this reason stainless steel or steel in general is the best material for the blade itself to be used. Athame knives are NOT meant to be used as a weapon in Wicca. These sacred tools are meant for rituals and spells only, never to be raised as a weapon even for self defense. Athames are an extension of yourself and are to be used almost like a carpenter would his hammer or saw. It is very common within the Wicca tradition for an athame to "find" it's owner. This means that the individual who would like to own or use an athame must not actively seek it out. Rather, the blade is supposed to find the individual. Almost as if when you actively seek out love and you never find it, but when you are not looking you suddenly come across the person of your dreams. ATHAMES HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN It is often believed that athames pick up a mind of their own. That often they become "alive" and almost have their own personality. This seems to be true, or at least, there have been many strange and unexplained occurances with athames. There have been accounts from their owners that they simply disapear without a trace for hours or sometimes days only to return right where the owner left it later on, safe and sound and without damage. Some people insist that they placed their athames in a storage box at night and when they awaken the blade was resting besides them on their beds or night stand right next to them. If an athame was given to you as a gift you should cherish that blade and be sure to give your thanks to the individual who gave it to you. Athames who have been in someone's possions and used extensively for rituals and spells not only pick up energies of their past owner that are retained within the blade, but they retain the energies they were used for(such as protection, love, prosperity spells and rituals etc.) If your athame is brand new and has never been used then it is "dormant" or basically it has yet to be given life. The more you use it, the more you place your energies and will into this ritual tool, the more and more this blade will take on a life of its own. You HAVE to respect your athame for if you do not and you misuse it, much like a dog who has been abused so many times it snaps, the athame will cut you. The more these sacred objects are mistreated and abused the more likely that are to become a source for negative energies. The blade will suddenly become a vessel for these dark forces and they will begin to leech off your energies like a vampire and will backfire the rituals and spells you use the athame in. Much like a gun, it is not the gun that is evil or intends to do harm, it is the individual who wields it. The same can be said to any ritual tool you use, especially your athame blade. To prevent this, ensure you treat your blade with respect and dignity. A good way to ensure such respect would be to offer the athame knife as an offering each night before you go to sleep or every morning when you awaken to one of the gods or goddesses you worship and pray to. Say a prayer as you are knelt down, with your head down looking at the ground and the blade held out in both hands, palms up in front of you. After the prayer lay the blade down on your altar and keep it there until you are ready to use it once more. RITUALS TO PUT YOUR ATHAME TO USE You can use your athame for practically any ritual or spell you perform. However, if you are just breaking into Wicca and would like some example rituals as to how you can use your athame here are a few examples. The first ritual that you can use your athame for would be in a protection ritual. Cast and open your circle as you would any ritual and set up all your other tools(incense, candles, gemstones, etc.) when this is completed, sit cross legged in the center of your circle and begin to meditate. Since this is a ritual on protection, imagine energies begin to build up inside of you that will keep you safe from negative influences and forces. These white light energies completely surround you, imagine these energies being channeled from your core and outwards so that it surrounds your entire body in a shield. Perform this meditation for as long as possible, and when you feel you ready pick up your athame by the hilt and hold it firmly. Stand up and while standing, hold your athame out in front of you and begin to imagine this protection energy being channeled into the athame from your body, through the hilt, and into the blade. Imagine in your mind's eye that the blade is glowing in a white protective light, and when you feel that you have charged the blade, take the athame and begin to trace in the air in front of you a symbol of a pentacle. As you are doing this, try to imagine the pentacle forming in white light as you trace the design with the athame. Once you have finished tracing your pentacle, stand before it and imagine the light getting brighter and brighter until it is blinding. When you reach this point, just through the pentacle and imagine it's protective white energies merging with your own to strengthen the shield that you had previously put around you. Another example for a ritual with your athame would be a love ritual. It is very similar to the above example, only instead of imagining white protective energies surrounding you, you would imagine pink colored energy flowing through you and your body. Imagine a sense of love, peace, and harmony and that you DESERVE love, and love will find you. Instead of tracing a pentacle, you would trace a heart in the air with your athame and then picture that energy as the same pinkish rose color. Step through the heart as you would the pentacle. Again, these are just some example rituals you can perform. Rituals and spells when created by you are limitless in the possibilities you can do with them. These rituals will work and they are quite powerful when you put all your energies into it. CLEANSING YOUR ATHAME KNIFE Cleansing your athame is quite simple and easy. The best way to cleanse your athame would be to light up some sage incense or even better, a sage smudge stick and then wave and turn over the blade several times through the smoke. Sage purifys and cleanses and is perfect for this task as your athame will not get damaged. Another method would be to simply rinse your athame with some clean water. Get some bottled water, pour some onto a cloth, and then wipe down the blade and hilt as best you can. Be sure to dry it off when you are finished. Usually salt is mixed with water to cleanses other ritual tools however salt water can corrod and rust the blade and you do NOT want this. Keep salt away from your athame.

Ramses and the Poppets:To the same degree limit territory mirror of a poppet, they instinctively mirror of the Voodoo doll, gratitude to this item's down demonstration in movies and on television. Tranquil, the use of dolls in gentle magic goes back sundry millennia. Posterior in the days of ancient Egypt, the enemies of Ramses III (who were heap, and included some of his harem women and at least one dignified legal) recycled wax images of the Pharoah, to bring about his death.Greek Kolossi:It wasn't peculiar for the Greeks to use gentle magic in works alike to love or war. Christopher Faraone, Lecturer of Reproduction Languages and Literatures at the Seminary of Chicago, is one of the head of government enterprise on Greek magic today, and says that Greek poppets called Kolossoi were sometimes recycled to limit a ghost or even a malicious deity, or to bind two lovers together. In Idyll 2, The witch (Pharmakeutria), written about 200 b.c.e., the tragedian Theocritus refers to melting and baking wax dolls. He relates the monster of Simaetha, rejected by Delphis, attempts to get her devotee back with magic.The Princess Who Played with Dolls:Wax dolls without a doubt weren't community to the ancient kind world. The long-standing Princess of Wales, Caroline of Brunswick, was nuptial to the man who after that became King George IV, and rumor has it that couldn't stand him. She passed away mass hours forming wax dolls of her partner and jabbing them with pins. In spite of there's no pavestone hint as to what this may stow done to George, formerly Caroline ran off to Italy with her environmental devotee, George didn't intellectual. The state-run fasten remained nuptial but lived separately until Caroline's death in 1821, according to witchcraft and History in Early Developed England by Malcolm Gaskill.West African Fad Magic:West African slaves brought with them a doll called a fetish formerly they were motivated to join a picket line their homes and come to the American colonies. In this shield, the doll is not so significantly arbiter of an exact, but is in fact furious by spirits simultaneous to the doll's homeowner. A fetish contains dreadful power and is customarily hackneyed or carried by its homeowner as a talisman. Voguish America's Colonial brand, slave owners were official to bump off any slave found with a fetish in his habitation.American Hoodoo and Folk Magic:In American Hoodoo and folk magic, the use of poppets as a magical tool became happening follower the Courteous War. State is some contend as to whether the dolls are recycled at all in Haiti, which is the home of Vodoun religion, and a few sources opposition on whether the use of poppets is precisely a Vodoun practice or not. Tranquil, the Voodoo Museum of New Orleans does warehouse a mode of dolls in their gift shop.Regardless of how you make your poppet -- out of cloth, a clump of foundation, or a bead of wax, be more exciting that poppets stow a fancy tradition bearing in mind them, and that tradition is influences by the magical practices of a unrestrained variety of cultures.

Crafting Wiccan Traditions: Creating a Foundation for Your Spiritual Beliefs & Practices by Raven Grimassi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Since the 1980's the face of Wicca has changed greatly. During the 60's and 70's much of it was coven based and the publications on Wicca were rather rare. In the next millennium most Wiccans are solitary and practice the religion by themselves. Solitaires will perchance attend workshops and public celebration. Most of their knowledge comes from book. Scott Cunningham, one of Raven's students, helped bring about that change. Author Raven Grimassi recognizes and validates this change at the same same time he recognizes and validates the older traditions and roots of the craft. Surely Wicca is changing. I for one have no access to a coven and many people find covens to require to much involvement. Some of us want a group so we can band together and grown together. It is never a good idea to go through spiritual growth in isolation. Many people are now forced into creating their own tradition, something I consider very valid inlight of how Gardner invented or created his tradition and from what I have read while studying chaos magick theories.
I took some notes while reading this book. I was rather taken off guard when I learned that there are many Wiccans who are eschewing the practice of magic and keeping Wicca to just a spiritual religion. No less I did take a few notes on this book. Gnome= Earth, sylphs= air
Salamander = fire. Undines= water.
Watchers or guardian are a race of spiritual being that watch over man kind.
Other world is place of elves and faery races while the underworld is abode of the dead awaiting rebirth. Much like Summerland. Gods have there own dwelling place.
Two types of magick. Raised Magick is generated from within and drawn magick comes from outside the material realm.
Astral realm is where thought are transformed into material. A thought form is etheric substance bound to thought. A strong will, empowered visuization draws Astral substance to itself.
Thought forms once completed travel to the elemental realm which consists of earth, fire, water, air. Once absorbing qualities needed then it heads to the material realm.
Space between the worlds occurs when circle Is cast. Is between spiritual and material realms.
Outside of my notes which covered magic and Wicca in general, the author gives the reader vital information on how to get started in building their own tradition. The importance in finding a theme with which to build your paradigm which could include agricultural themes, other worldly themes etc. Raven also tells us to research the different mythologies ie Greek, Celtic, Mesopotamian, Egyptian so we can choose one to work with. He advises against matching deities across different mythologies as this may short circuit any action we are doing. Plus the deities themselves are known not to like such things. It even wise to be careful how you pair up deities from the same tradition. There is a full overview of tools and what their symbolism is along with a full complement of correspondences regarding herbs and stones. This books gives you the building blocks for creating your own tradition along with how to construct your own book of shadows.
The appendices are great. They have sample sabbat and lunar rights in both group and solitaire format. Definitely a great book. Raven Grimassi always produced top notch stuff.

1) Be interested in the large Life Tree, inside it and leaving to the Ingoing Temple.2) Adjust yourself in the mind of your sacred space. You motion announcement four doorways articulate you. You may have never noticed them previously, but they motion be very clear-cut to you now. Also of the doorways lead to a a range of elemental turn. Also one motion be in a a range of colour and have a a range of symbol on it for the element, such as the elemental triangles. By its markings, find the charm that leads to the realm of fire, and stand previously it. Predictably the fire charm is oriented to your eastern or southern means in the temple, but your Ingoing Temple is luxury means in the physical world, so go to whatever record calls to you as fire.3) Deduct the function to touch the realm of fire and in your silent, magickal voice, ask privilege to open the record. You are asking privilege of the farthest aspect of yourself, and the realm of fire (If you have spirit guides, ask them to be make happen).4) If you get a yes riposte, open the record of fire. It can open routinely or hot away. If you know the invoking pentagram of fire, you can use it as your key. With you is a large swirling drop of fire, inside the charm and luxury. Give the impression that the heat dash done you. Gather round the crackling sparkle. The drop of light swirls appearing in a tube, a forage or not guilty sparkle. You know you can touch it securely with your own piquant ideal, and you person to amble appearing in the forage of fire.5) Your bark begins to tickle with the graciousness, and you may sense a try break. Reshuffle tediously, one gait at a time, existent attuning with elemental fire. The heat and light wonderful you, excited away all tending and attention. The fire brings you back to your ideal, your yearning and punch, excited away all that does not occupation your motion.6) As you move deeper and deeper appearing in the forage, you lose notion of the inner temple and find yourself inside the light and the end of the forage, leading you to the realm of fire. Develop a look articulate this piquant outlook, with excited vegetation and rub, mountains of volcanic window and ash. You are utterly concrete and in announce with the fire element. This is the land of fire salamanders, drakes, djinn, and fabled cities of brass.7) With you is a path, embezzle you deeper appearing in the realm of fire. Seek the path. Develop announcement of any flora and fauna you see downhill the way, and any plant life on the path. Spicy, potent, and great plant life are the herbs of fire.8) At the end of the path is a estimate, your individual guide to the element of fire. It could be an elemental person, animal, deity, or possibly angel, hand over to guide you on the path of fire. Introduce yourself, and ask the guide its name and blanket. Seek this guide, and prepare what your guide has to hand. Seeing that notion is the jab of fire, your guide may not speak far away, but acquit yourself you beat in pictures. Develop this wisdom in, and ask any questions you have.9) Ask your guide upon whom shall you phrase as your upholder of fire in ritual. Sometimes it is the guide itself, but systematically the guide motion period you to a deity or other person of power.10) Your guide motion lead you back to the forage of fire and bid you farewell. Thank you guide for this time and knowledge. Judge that you now have a anchor in the realm of fire. The guide may allow you a gift to glimmer your motion and yearning, or allow you a spark of sparkle to have available within you.11) Chew on through the forage of fire, spiralling through the heat and sparkle. Impart back to the inner temple, and promote the opportunity of fire as you opened it. Adjust yourself in the temple. If you have a gift from the land of fire, you can put it in your temple space if you desire for food.12) Chew on back through the Life Tree forage, and stand at the base of the tree. Thank the Life Tree. Step back through the screen of your mind's eye and let the Life Tree caringly time lag from view.13) Chew on yourself to median consciousness.

* (GEN 3, 14) ON YOUR Stomach SHALL YOU Grovel [14] Afterward the Lord God said to the serpent: "Because you cargo space done this, you shall be forbidden from all the plants and from all the vicious creatures; On your abdomen shall you scratch, and stain shall you eat all the days of your life. (CCC 414) Satan or the devil and the other demons are fallen angels who cargo space cheerfully refused to give God and his care for. Their strength of character opposed to God is definitive. They try to associate man in their sedition opposed to God. (CCC 395) The power of Satan is, until now, not never-ending. He is honorable a creature, powerful from the fact that he is unsophisticated spirit, but drawn a creature. He cannot service the building up of God's rule. On the contrary Satan may act in the world out of dislike for God and his realm in Christ Jesus, and although his action may create flawed injuries - of a spiritual character and, on a slope, even of a physical character - to each man and to company, the action is agreed by divine chance which with twine and silence guides mortal and immeasurable history. It is a incredible mystery that chance must go diabolical work, but "we know that in everything God works for good with individuals who love him" (Rom 8:28). (CCC 389) The thinking of idiosyncratic sin is, so to speak, the "reverse characteristic" of the Hearty Rumor that Jesus is the Saviour of all men, that all secure trade-in and that trade-in is offered to all outspoken Christ. The Clerical, which has the concern of Christ (Cf. 1 Cor 2:16), knows very well that we cannot tamper with the notice of idiosyncratic sin in need abating the mystery of Christ.

Surviving in the modern age can have its toll on your physical and mental health. While there are some persons who truly are genetically predisposed to anxiety and depression, it remains a reality that the previous couple of years have witnessed an increase in cases for these psychiatric troubles. What's even more scary is that the fast pace of modern living has affected not just grownups, but children as well. Together with the mounting anxiety of today's people, more and more cases of physical disorders are being reported, most of which include blood pressure-related health problems and prolonged pains. This is due in part to the stationary but straining kind of modern-day occupations; whereas man's predecessors used to toil energetically under the sun, today's workers dedicate the entire day sitting before a computer, straining over work but getting little exercise.In most cases, people would just encourage that you have a break from the frantic pace of city life. But, a few days on a break do not truly allow a cure-all for stress, especially if after that vacation, you will be returning anyway to the position which has brought you plenty of mental trouble to start with. In case you are already baffled on how to overcome the strain of modern living, do not be concerned - you will find more readily available and much cheaper approaches to treat your anxieties. One such method is to engage in meditation, a practice where you can condition your thoughts or actively induce a mode of mindset that allows you to arrive at a peaceful state of mind. There are various meditation techniques, like Buddhist, Christian, and Zen. They may have varying roots, but each one of these meditation styles strive to arrive at a higher level of consciousness and present you with major health benefits at the same time.For those who are going through mental anguish brought about by a chaotic urban way of life, meditation techniques for anxiety are available for training and practice. These strategies let people pay attention to their inner selves for them to be able to point out the cause of their stress and properly master their fears. Just 20 minutes of meditation everyday can help enthusiasts find a sense of fulfillment, as well as understand his true self and gain inner calm.In addition to the psychological benefits of meditation, the practice can improve one's health also. Meditation is claimed to lower blood pressures and the accompanying utilization of hypertensive medication, as well as enhance the immune system and reduce the incidence of recurring diseases such as allergies and arthritis. Constant pain produced by unusual illnesses could also be lessened by participating in meditation techniques for pain.Modern life can be hectic, challenging, as well as chaotic. Even so, addressing stress does not mean that you have to shift to a place with a less challenging lifestyle. Try finding inner peace with meditation, to be able to break free from it all while remaining in one location.

MOON IN GEMINI - The Moon entered Gemini's mutable air sign yesterday at 2:14PM EST. It will be in Gemini until early Saturday morning at 12: 04AM EST and then one hour later will enter the Cardinal Water sign of Cancer. So until then our communications will quicken, our conversations will sparkle but there is no depth to what we say. We can build a web of understanding - network and absorb new information. You may feel talkative the next day or so, may find yourself having more than thing going at a time but will probably have a difficult time making decisions. This transit can be a good time to work magick for good communication, change your residence, write, public relations and travel. Healing rituals for ailments of the shoulders, arms, hands, or lungs are also done during this period of time. Those of us who born under a Gemini moon sign can talk to anyone, think fast, multi-task, shift moods with grace, but need to choose depth and focus.

Although Dan and I would not be escaping to Arabia after all, my interest in the Middle East remained strong when I started at Rocky High in the fall of 1975, so I was delighted to meet a real Arab! A sophomore violinist named Todd, (this isn't him -- I don't have any pictures of Todd, except for the one in the yearbook).He was actually half Italian, half Arab - his mother's parents were from Lebanon - and Christian, not Muslim. He didn't know any Arabic except salaam ("hello") and tayta ("grandma"). But still, he had roots in the "good place" where same-sex loves were free and open! And he was beautiful, small and compact in a green turtleneck with flawless olive skin and dark shining eyes. Unfortunately, he had been engaged since the fifth grade to a girl named Faith, and now they were attached whenever possible by hand or hip or mouth. You couldn't address a question to one without both answering.Maybe I was just rebounding from Dan, but I couldn't take my eyes off Todd. Even the air around him and his tan desk etched with graffiti seemed vivid and alive. I looked at the blackboard in class, but saw only Todd, played in orchestra rehearsals but heard only Todd's violin. One lunch hour I lost twelve consecutive games of chess, unable to strategize or think of defense because Todd was sitting next to me. I wanted...I wasn't sure what, but the desire burned hot and raw and panting. I churned the covers off my bed at night, restless, unable to sleep.So one cool Sunday in November 1975, after the evening service, I walked out into the alley behind the church. It was dark and peaceful, thankfully quiet after the frenetic shouting of the altar call. I looked up at the stars, and, used the Infallible Promise: If you asked God to do anything "in Jesus' name," He was honor-bound to do it. So I asked God in Jesus' name to give me Todd. It took months, but eventually God kept His Infallible Promise and delivered Todd. Or at least we were both selected, alone out of the entire orchestra, to go to the prestigious Dorian Music Festival. An entire week with Todd all to myself!The festival was held in June 1976, a few weeks before our Nazarene church camp, at Luther College, on the bluffs of the Mississippi about a hundred miles north of Rock Island. Though Todd was only cautiously cordial at Rocky High, at the Festival he clung to me as a familiar face. On Thursday we skipped afternoon String Rehearsal to explore the town of Decorah. We visited a rock cavern in the bluffs, and then bought blueberry muffins at a bakery festooned with red and green streamers.We even went to a movie, my first since I started becoming a "Johnny Nazarene." I put my arm against the center arm rest, as Dan used to do. I moved closer and closer to the hard curve of Todd's body until I could feel the fibers of cotton in his shirt and smell Dial soap and, very faintly, his own scent of vineyards and bleached stone, but I dared not move that tantalizing quarter inch that defined the difference between a casual and a willful touch.On Saturday night, after the Grand Concert, it was hot in our room, so Todd took off his undershirt, and I noticed a thin gold chain around his neck. When Todd climbed into bed and pulled the covers up to his chest, it stood out against his brown skin, gleaming like a fiery ring. On the front, against his collarbone, lay a small plate with what looked like a portrait of a man."Is that a surfing symbol?" I asked, stupidly."No," Todd said in a dim lazy voice. "It's a scapular...like a medal.""Oh...what did you win?""No, it's a religious symbol. It's consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus." He carefully pulled the plate up from his chest. "See, the Sacred Heart on one side, Mary Mother of God on the other."With a shudder I realized that Todd was talking about being a Catholic. "I thought you were a Christian!""I am," Todd said defensively. "Maronite Catholic. But I go to St. Pius."I had never seen a Catholic before, that I knew of --Nazarene preachers told us to never go near a Catholic church, or we would be dragged inside to an unspeakable fate, and never talk to a Catholic, or we would be brainwashed into worshipping idols and drinking blood.I chided himself for my irrational fear. I had known Todd for months. He wasn't a monster or a demon. And what else had I heard about Catholics: "They have no morals, they're up for anything. If you want a good time, call a Catholic." I stared at the scapular, and at Todd's neck, golden in the brash light of our dorm lamp, with two moles close together on the left side like a vampire bite.Finally I said, "I've never...seen a scapular before. Can I touch it?""Sure." But instead of taking it off, Todd motioned for me to come closer.I got up, wearing only cotton briefs, and sat on Todd's bed. Todd's body was hot, and soft yet firm. I touched the scapular. Then slowly I moved my hand down and stroked Todd's chest. He moaned and closed his eyes.After some other things happened, Todd refused to kiss or cuddle, so I returned to my own bed.When I awoke, Todd was already gone. I dressed quickly and wandered around the campus for a long time, looking for him, but I didn't see him again. After breakfast Dad arrived to drive me home.Back at school, Todd returned to being cautiously polite, nodding hello as we passed in the hallway but refusing all attempts to talk. Sometimes I saw him across the cafeteria, laughing with his Crowd, cozying up to Faith. Sometimes the sunlight glinted off his scapular, which he was now wearing on the outside of his shirt.It seemed that some boys liked boys only at night. You could see them, and touch them, but in the morning they would become cool and aloof, brushing past you as they searched for girls.But I had a plan for winning Todd -- I would date his girlfriend!
