Lets make an example for you to learn how to get your numerology.
NUMEROLOGICAL EQUIVALENT OF EVERY NUMBER:
1 A J S
2 B K T3 C L U
4 D M V
5 E N W
6 F O X
7 G P Y
8 H Q Z
9 I R
"EXAMPLE: "
ADOLPHUS HITLER
A=1 D=4 O=6 L=3 P=7 H=8 U=3 S=1 H=8 I=9 T=2 L=3 E=5 R=9
Then add all the numbers, like this: 1+4+6+3+7+8+3+1+8+9+2+3+5+9 = 69
So numerological equivalent of Adolphus Hitler is 69, his "'master number'" add it into a single digit 6+9 = 15 = 1+5 = 6 every double number must be add to a single number. "'Soul number'" of Adolfus Hitler is '6'.
Now, you now the basic of numerology. Good luck for exploring the magickal world of numbers.
BASIC MEANING OF NUMBERS:

Wiccan Supplies Essentials
THE ATHAME
An athame or atham'e is a ceremonial double-edged dagger, one of many magical tools used in Classic Witchcraft and other Pagan beliefs and religions such as Wicca for different ritual knives. A black-handled knife called an arthame appears in specific versions of the Key of Solomon, a grimoire originating in the Middle Ages.
The athame's main use is for ritual and magical purposes only, to direct energy if things such as herbs or cords need to have to be cut, one more knife called a boline - a white-handled knife - is used. An exception is the "kitchen witchcraft" philosophy, which actively encourages the use of magical tools for mundane purposes to improve the witch's familiarity with them.
An athame may well be employed in the demarcation of the Magic circle rite.
As a masculine principle, it is usually utilized in combination with the chalice, as feminine principle, evoking the act of procreation, as a symbol of universal creativity. This is a symbol of the Wonderful Rite in Wiccan rituals. Some contemporary witchcraft traditions may well prefer not to use iron blades, instead preferring alternatives such as copper, bronze or wood. This is most widespread amongst traditions that have a specific fondness of the Sidhe, to whom iron is supposedly harmful.
THE CHALICE
In Wicca a chalice, as a feminine principle, is usually employed in combination with the Athame (ceremonial black-handled knife), as male principle. Combining the two evokes the act of procreation, as a symbol of universal creativity. This is a symbol of the Excellent Rite in Wiccan rituals. A chalice is also utilized in the Tiny Rite.
A chalice is a symbol of the element of water, a feminine element representing intuition, gestation, psychic ability, and the subconscious. The Cup also stands in as a symbol of the Goddess, of the womb, and the female generative organs. The chalice is often interchangeable with the cauldron.
WICCAN ALTAR BELL
Bells are like the Voice of the Goddess. When you ring one, it brings the Divine's attention to you. And your attention to the Divine.
A bell with a lovely tone will call gorgeous, healing energy to you. Bells can also be utilized to clear energy. At the end of a ritual is a good time for this, but if unwanted energy crops up throughout a ritual, you can use the bell to disperse it. The purpose is that the clear tone of the altar bell will drive away negativity and keep evil spirits at bay. There are claims that evil spirits can not tolerate the sounds of a clear high pitched bell.
Employing an altar bell to call upon the goddess will guarantee you are far more protected throughout your rituals, spells, and ceremonies.
ALTAR CLOTHS
In specific Neopagan faiths, Wicca in specific, the altar cloth is placed on the altar exactly where magical workings are performed. Several altars are patterned with pentagrams, the classic symbol for Wicca.
Altar cloths prevent damage, dirt, and grime to form on your altar. It is usually best to maintain your altar clean to guarantee you appease the several gods or goddesses you may possibly be calling upon in you rituals. Keeping ones altar untidy can show disrespect to the gods and goddess, so be confident to clean your altar cloth often. Several altar cloths can be put into the wash with your other clothing whenever it is time for you to do laundry.
ALTAR TILES
The altar tile is also named a pentacle is utilised on a Wiccan altar as a focal point for ritual work. It is commonly made of metal, wood, or clay stoneware. The tile itself is usually inscribed with the pentagram (5-pointed star) and at times with other symbols. The star symbol represents the four elements of earth, air, fire, water and a fifth element of spirit, as represented by the Goddess and God. The tile is positioned with the spirit tip pointing up to signify that the spirit rules more than the elements.

"Memes" are manner warning light to set out a blog foyer, such as the day arrives, such as you don't know what to set out about.
There's the Term paper Meme, if you would in the neighborhood to know other "memes" harshly the internet.
Meme is not entirely "an issue that is familiar and conceded from blog to blog" - it's a cultural line barrier, in the neighborhood genes are genetic line blocks, and "an issue that is familiar and conceded from blog to blog" is entirely one form of memes. Memes are fascinating substance :-)
One of the Friday memes is "Fruits of the Specter Friday"
"Fruits of the Specter" are "the nine marked attributes of a true Christian life";
"But the Fruit of the Specter is love, joy, accordance, patience, melodiousness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and composure. Opposed to such substance put on is no law."
-- Galatians 5:22-23
According to this, the bulk of Xians are not Xians at all... I know what they say about not since unmodified, but in my scrutinize this is not a weakness of since unmodified. It really doesn't let off that radically to actually live up to these "food". If I, a Pagan, can do it, why not you, a Xian?
I am sensitively offended by the issue that for example of this quote from the Xian scriptures the Xians create claimed throttlehold, the individual entitlement of these qualities - as if no-one but a Xian can be genial, ecstatic, unworried, kind, good, uncorrupted, gentle and floating... I know put on are Xians who faithfully grip it to be so... doesn't secure genial, ecstatic, unworried, kind, good, uncorrupted or gentle to me.
I am a witch, and I am not more exactly final I dwindle with who ever wrote the plot of land to Galatians. I wish put on was a "holy scripture" of witches... it would make keeping this blog and the picture of this blog so easy... (The picture is to be one selflessness of spiritual Pagan witches' internet community and earn.)
The sculpt attributes of a witch are "in the air on brooms, intercourse with the Devil, and inform of demons and other witches at sabbaths"... Sounds "bad", huh?
But what is bad in this is that these words are used by tribe who don't understand what they see, and who grip they like to growl other tribe and their traditions bad names to protect themselves from "mysterious" influences.
* "in the air on brooms" is to custody in oneself, custody in the cherished world which is choice than can be empirically famous and custody in Goddess - and believing in magic - custody and belief - faith;
* "intercourse with the Devil" is genial the Goddess and since uncorrupted to Her, misunderstood by elitist, naive and snooty fundamentalists, and
* "inform of demons and other witches" - community - having wild, companionable life; not separating oneself and respect that we are One -
* "at sabbaths" - attuning to the seasons and Sphere of Formation - enjoying and celebrating life.
All good substance.
Of course, put on are Scott Cunningham's 13 Goals of a Witch, which can as well be used.
* 1. Reveal itself yourself.
* 2. Reveal itself your Be (Wicca).
* 3. Discovery.
* 4. Help knowledge with wisdom.
* 5. Uncover detachment.
* 6. Parade your words in good order.
* 7. Parade your standpoint in good order.
* 8. Have fun life.
* 9. Adjust with the cycles of the Pulverized.
* 10. Living and eat perfectly.
* 11. Training the outline.
* 12. Ponder.
* 13. Honor the Goddess and God.
I connect with it would be best to make your own list of the qualities you put money on essential for a good life as a witch, and use them as "fruits".
Robin is very good with this kind of substance, so I am separation to occur this meme and make it expectation :-)
The picture of this meme is to make me not able to sleep of what it is to live in Goddess and for Goddess, and how can I control Goddess by way of my thesis habits, attitudes, qualities and actions.
As you noticed, I said "according to this highest Xians are not Xians at all" - how can I live so that the awfully cannot be said of me.
I am feat this for ME, not for ego extremely. I am not feat this to explanation the world how "good" I am, but to explanation my migrant companions that you are not stumped... I am entirely one of them, with bad qualities, contend, good intentions, aspirations to become a bite the dust splinter group... and doubtless, you - my companions - can explanation me that I trusty am one of you, entirely up-to-the-minute mortal since, with the awfully kind of standpoint and fears, reactions and conclusions - sometimes demure, sometimes sham...
Tips for calligraphy these blog memes
* Aspiration in Goddess to help you with it. Ask for course and Apply your mind to Her secret.
* Don't go through for Friday to start belief about this. Conclude sooner than the onwards Friday what the subsequently Friday's mark with streaks drive be, and deposit your eyes and scrutinize open all week by way of.
* Don't descent yourself to the prompt questions in this blog foyer. They are put on entirely to help you, if you find it difficult to set out. So be open for Goddess suggestions trendy the week. ;-)
* Go into the pertinent, quotes and anecdotes down as you brawl them.
* Be eligible yourself to one mark with streaks a week.
* You don't like to do this on Friday, you know ;-) Go into the blog foyer such as you can.
* This is not a campaign. Give are no limits in how radically - or small - you set out, how well you set out, put on are no responsibility for or wrongs put on - it's YOUR blog and YOU set out what YOU petition, connect with, suspicion...
Prompts
Which mark with streaks am I focusing on this Friday?
How do I define this quality? How do other tribe define this quality?
Robin's prompts are based on her wisdom of Bible study journaling and the issue of using the meme as a flooring to the journal, so she asks "how does the Bible define this fruit". We don't create a holy scripture, but as the Bible is said to be "God's word mediated by way of romantic tribe", I am separation to try to find some keen quotes slightly. Goddess speaks by way of everything, so if you find a quote inspirational, keen, well said, let off it as Goddess Rumor. (Open if it happens to come forth in up-to-the-minute spiritual tradition's holy scripture ;-))
How does this mark with streaks explanation in the stale life? How does it affects others in my surroundings?
How does the Intend of this mark with streaks explanation in the stale life? How does it affects others in my surroundings?
How do I know someone possesses this quality? Do I squeeze this quality?
Is this mark with streaks ordinary or predominantly at sea together with tribe in my life; my interior, friends, links, acquaintances?
Is put on someone who is an especially "fine design" of a splinter group possessing this quality?
For instance brought these tribe appearing in my life?
Is put on someone "horrible" who expresses this mark with streaks or lack of this quality?
Is put on someone who used to "create it" but haven't anymore - or didn't "create it" but has it now - and what distinct it?
How can this mark with streaks be reached/developed?
How can I explanation choice of this mark with streaks in I?
Is put on a mark with streaks I find difficult to craft or express?
Do I get misunderstood/misinterpreted? How? For instance can I do to departure it?

For instance can be done to brawl that?

Many Pagans and Wiccans use a magical staff in rituals and ceremonies. While it's not a required magical tool, it can come in handy. The staff is typically associated with power and authority, and in some traditions only the High Priestess or High Priest carries one. In other traditions, anyone may have one. Much like the wand, the staff is considered symbolic of male energy, and usually is used to represent the element of Air (although in some traditions, it symbolizes Fire). Like other magical tools, the staff is something you can make yourself, with a little bit of effort.
Here's how.
Choose a Stick
If you get a chance to go on a hike, while you're out there roaming around you should take the opportunity to look for a good piece of wood for a magical staff. Ideally, you'll want to find a piece of wood that has already fallen from a tree -- do NOT cut a piece of wood from a live tree just because you think it would make a nice staff. A magical staff is typically long enough that you can hold it comfortably in your hand, vertically, and have it touch the ground. Your best bet is to find one that is between shoulder height and the top of your head. Hold the stick to see how it feels in your hand -- if it's too long, you can always trim it down. When it comes to diameter, you should be able to comfortably wrap your fingers around it. A one- to two-inch diameter is best for most people, but again, hold it and see how it feels.
Some people choose a specific type of wood based upon its magical properties. For example, if you wished to have a staff connected to power and strength, you might select oak. Another person might choose to use Ash instead, as it is strongly tied to magical workings and prophecy. There's no hard and fast rule, however, that you have to use a certain type of wood -- many people make a staff out of the stick that "felt right" to them. In some magical systems, it is believed that a tree limb felled by a storm is imbued with a great deal of magical power.
Remove the Bark
To remove the bark from your stick, you can use a knife (not your athame, but a regular knife) to strip the bark. This will also help you to shape the staff, if there are small irregularities on it, or to remove excess bits of branches. With some varieties of wood, you may want to soak the staff so that the bark is wet, making it easier to strip off. Some types of wood, such as pine, are easy enough to strip the bark off by hand if you choose.
Use a piece of light-grained sandpaper, or steel wool, to sand the staff down until it is smooth.
Finish Your Staff
Once you've got the staff shaped and sanded, you have a couple of options. You may want to drill a small hole at the top so you can insert a leather thong -- this comes in handy when you're waving your magical staff around in ritual, because you can put the thong around your wrist and reduce the chances of accidentally flinging your staff across a room. If you like, you can also decorate your magical staff by carving or burning symbols of your tradition into it, adding crystals or beads, feathers, or other charms into the wood.
It's generally not considered necessary to use a polyurethane finish on the staff, and in many traditions it's believed that to put a synthetic finish on a staff will block the magical energies. However, some people choose to oil their staff to give it a light shine - if you do this, use an oil that is plant-based, rather than petroleum-based.
After your staff is complete, consecrate it as you would any other magical tool.

Feng Shui affair for today:
Add a symbol

If you kitchen is in this degree, fabricate the notion that all your dispose of becomes "dispose of for signal."
Symbols that withdraw you of wisdom belong within - a kerosene lamp of knowledge, the scales of fairness, a judge's gavel, a chess game, a straight-A summary card, acid dolphins stimulus work.
Symbols of mentors or discriminating intimate - a statue of Solomon from the Bible, the three Assiduous Men, Merlin the magician, Yoda, Einstein, or Gandhi can be depicted within.
Metal works within - as in "Tasteful as a clip" and "Insightful watchdog."
Wash invites wisdom your way. Realm coppice within with the notion that it attract wisdom. Realm your meditation items within, or an altar of style. This is the degree for your hobbies and crafts.
"From "List Your Fill, Break Your Cosmos"
by Karen Rauch Transporter
In order to try keep the planet healthy and sustainable, it's important that we consider being environmentally friendly in as many aspects of our life as is possible.
While Paganism is known as an earth religion, something I noticed when studying the Pagan community is that this love for the earth frequently does not translate into a green approach to living our lives, which when you think about it seems kind of odd, given the condition of the earth at the moment.
So with that in mind I plan to write more about environmental concerns (in a non preachy way!) and here to kick this off is Phill from Late Late Gifts who has written an excellent guest post on how you can integrate this way of thinking and doing into your gift giving.
TOP TIPS TO STAY 'GREEN' WHEN GIFT-GIVING
GUEST POST BY PHILL FROM LATE LATE GIFTS US.
Reusable Gift Wrap Cloth used in Traditional Japanese Gift Giving
When it comes to gift giving, incorporating your green living practices can be a little confusing. There are many ways however, to give your loved ones beautiful gifts while still remaining environmentally friendly. There is no need to break the bank or go out of your way- many of the best holiday ideas can be found right in your own home! Here are some of the top tips for green gifts for your winter festivities!
RECYCLE
Have you received a gift that you didn't much enjoy, or couldn't find a use for? We all have, and for some strange reason seem to hang onto these unused items. These make perfect gifts for friends and family! You may know someone who could really use that present you didn't have need for, it doesn't cost a thing, and it's a great way to recycle a great gift. Just make sure you don't re-gift it to the original sender!
MAKE IT AT HOME
There is nothing more heart felt than a gift made by your own hands. Homemade presents are especially suitable for Winter Solstice. It doesn't have to be elaborate, and crafting something yourself gives you the opportunity to put loads of loving energy into the item!
Think simple, and it'll be even easier. When doing homemade, you even have the option to combine recycling! For example, mittens can easily be made from an old sweater, or a dream pillow from an old sheet or t-shirt you no longer use. The ideas are endless! This is a perfect creative outlet that guarantees you have a unique gift to give someone, all while remaining green!
Mind the Paper
Possibly one of the biggest negative environmental impacts during the holiday season is the massive amount of paper used in wrapping. Tons of paper are used to wrap gifts, and then promptly thrown away. This year, save a few trees by avoiding wrapping paper altogether.
Other options for pretty presentations include using newspaper. Recycle that news you were throwing away. If you want it to be more festive, it's very easy to paint the paper in any kind of color or design you want.
An even better alternative is to use something less disposable. Consider decorating a wooden box that not only houses the present, but will be usable later too. You can also incorporate the wrapping material into the present itself. For example, you give DIY sachet or dream pillow kits with instructions on how to put them together. Use the fabric that makes up the sachet or pillow as the wrapping paper.
The options for green gift giving during the Solstice and other holidays are endless. All it takes is a little imagination and creativity!

All that glitters is not gold but gold could do with be one of them. This three-dimension idiom is gleaned from the Japanese scoop. The West leans towards psychology count the East is better spiritual in their thinking viewpoint. We suffer both since you cannot display a strong psychology flaw a hard theology.The way we tie together energy is viewed in three body. We display spiritual energy, mental energy and physical energy. It coincides with the theory of the wizard, the warrior and the wimp (military student).Japanese cut stone casket matter on three indispensable objects: the jewel (gold), the sword and the mirror. Whichever one of them depicts our viewpoint about life and its meaning.The Gold bars (Bead of moisture): This is a symbol of faith, sovereigns and luck. Thats what anybody is looking for--at least so it seems. I read a book aristocratic, "If Keep Isnt God, Lets Try Worshipping It." Whatever you place best quality God becomes not your jewel, but your idol. Asset of everyday wealth is the maximum impressive constituent in the life of so many clique. Thats why public can do anything for money or work for money. Yet in Japanese mythology, money is simply a tool--a transmit to an end and not the end by itself. World decisions and seeing the world from the viewpoint of money is a sacrilege. Even with gold is a symbol of luck and faith, the Japanese evoke it contemptible to the sword or the mirror. The jewel (gold) and the sword (power) go hand in hand. Since clique acquire money, they want better power.The Sword: This is the symbol of power or physical heftiness. It represents what your hand can carry on put down the use of entail. Relations who depend on the sword for holdover as well as perish by the sword. You plainly grow what you sow. Sparkle are gone in the same way as swordsmanship skills ruled the world. It is now relegated to show business and movies. Now the most excellent acquisition a person has is unsophisticated brain power formed by your self-image.The Mirror: This is the most excellent aim in ancient Japanese cut stone and the key that unlocks everything overly. The mirror is excellent than the gold and the sword. This theory is interruption illustrated with a story.One day, a stressed man called Sam went to a resonant and asked for help. The resonant man called Wiseman remembered that in the same way as he was ghastly a decade ago, several resonant man gave him a bag of gold. He thanked him generously and asked how he atmosphere refund him. "Since you go, do on a par shrewd to someone overly," came the predicament. That bag of gold distorted Wisemans picture about himself, and from that day placement, he started seeing himself as already resonant. He went out and became resonant. Now is the coincidental to persevere with his pledge. So he went modish his bedroom and pulled out the bag of gold and gave it to Sam. Especially asked a harmonizing question: what can I do to pay you back? "Since you go, do it for someone overly," Wiseman responded. Feeble Sam took the bag of Gold bars and no more. Since he got home, the outdo thing he did was to open the bag of gold with the daydream of spending all.Uzo Onukwughas heartbeat is to teach information marketers the inner game of partnership afflict.

Having blogged a bit about the older Jesus, I now order to turn to the older Paul.
Paul was a inexperienced of Jesus who emerged as by far the record valid silhouette in the inappropriate multiuse building of Christian theology. His reserved name was actually Saul or Shaul, and he came from the town of Tarsos in Asia Insufficiently. His script shows that he had standard a Jewish rabbinical surroundings, and Acts claims (no grievance properly) that he had at one deliberation arduous under the zealous Rabbi Gamaliel in Jerusalem.
"Paul as imagined by Rembrandt"
He became a adjunct of the devotedly saintly Jewish group much-admired as the Perushim or Pharisees. At peak a firm challenger of the new Christian fight, he became its record vigorous follower overdue concern a earth-shattering knowledge on the path to Damascus: he claimed that the resurrected Christ had appeared to him.
Seven of Paul's letters, dating particularly from the 50s, are conserved in the New Shrine. Time Paul writes new about the older Jesus - not astoundingly, when he was not personally aware with him - his reflections on the Christ of confidence enfold played an offensively most important share out in the multiuse building of Christian theology, and of Protestant theology in picky.
A distinguished work for Paul was the utter of the Jewish religion and its design to Christianity. He grappled with this apprehend with some delicacy in his murder to the Romans, and refined up adopting a progressive and shifty fraud. Judaism and the Law of Moses, he intended, were simply of God, but they were up till now evil and awkward. Period the older Jesus had admirable the Law, Paul assumed that it had been superseded by the new distribute of Christ. To give birth to an atmosphere to it was erroneous, if not convinced disloyal.
Paul's view of Jesus is add-on admirable than that of some other New Shrine writers, but less so than that of directly older Christianity. Paul normally refers to God and Jesus Christ as untie beings, and regards Christ, 'the Lord, as for one person novice to God, 'the Flinch. He seats colossal substance on the crucifixion and reappearance of Christ. The Blessed Pliability has an inauspicious place in his theology, but he (or somewhat it) does not yet seem to be as a reserved entity: somewhat, it is specialized by God and by Christ to believers, and bestows spiritual gifts upon them. (God is afterward at work within believers, and Christ dwells linking them.)
Paul's writings are heartily dualistic. He normally makes oppositions in the company of God and idols, the spirit and the flesh, light and gloom, salvation and death, and so on. One of his record inauspicious oppositions is in the company of Judaism ('Israel of the flesh') and the new religion of Christianity ('Israel of the vigor) - though he does recognise that Christianity was element voguish Jewish and Gentile wings, and regards himself as the 'apostle to the Gentiles' (the leaders of the Jewish Christians for one person Peter, James and John).
Paul is brutally distressed with the trouble of salvation - he normally speaks of 'the saved' and 'the cold and damp, and teaches that the deep-rooted poverty ignore the multinational of the later. He afterward refers to believers as 'the holy ones', who enfold been selected by God. Rescue comes throw down feeling somewhat than throw down the Law, and is accessed by type of confidence in Jesus Christ. His preaching on this subject provided the theory for the Protestant ideology of "sola fide", salvation by confidence lonely, but there are some indications that he saw a person's salvation as for one person in some way mass on their works (though this is admittedly not the highest substance of his preaching).
Paul emphasised the themes of love and blamelessness. Christians, he preached, poverty get on together in camaraderie. He normally refers to his man believers as 'brothers', though he afterward regards himself as their shock. He condemned, amongst other stuff, sexual sins. He regarded marriage as a band evil, and saw celibacy as a type of rescue the participate to change on the stuff of God. This fits of laughter with the add-on total flesh/spirit dichotomy found in his writings.
Paul says some mature that the end of the world - 'the day of Jesus Christ' - is coming soon. On that day, Jesus would come down from fantasy with his later than usual blissful ones', the dead would be raised, and living believers would be baffled up voguish the air. Thereafter, the formulate would rob high-ranking resurrected bodies and succeed to the native land of God. God or Christ would sit in judgment all the human race. The reasonableness of the reappearance of the fit was jittery by Paul: it was one of the discrete beliefs that he took with him from Pharasaism to Christianity. Paul suggested that the rostrum judgement would force fire, and he seems to enfold assumed in a careful of purgatorial ideology, implying that some believers would enfold to be cleansed throw down fire up to that time inward bound fantasy. At one deliberation, Paul avers that Christians heart sit in judgment the rest of consideration, and even angels.
THE Ancient PAUL: A Summation
o Paul had not much-admired Jesus, but claimed to enfold seen him supernaturally.
o He claimed that he continued to rob divine revelations overdue his alteration.
o He was celibate.
o His school clean typically contains repartee and vocal oppositions (e.g. the spirit v the flesh).
o In Paul's writings, God is "Flinch", Jesus is "Lord", and other Christians are "brothers".
o The the twinkling of an eye coming of Christ and the rostrum judgement are prospect. They heart rivet divine spleen and fire.
o The themes of Paul's letters rivet love and the think about of for one person "saved".
o Satan exists, miserable with other demons and worldly spirits.
o Indictment up to that time God comes throw down confidence.
o Clerical activities included prophesying and communication in tongues.
o The rite of launch was performed, as were healings and miracles.
o Paul gross live in in the church who remained associated to Jewish observances, together with circumcision.

The island of Samos in Greece is an island about 1.5 km from the shores of Turkey, which has a long history dating back to 4,000 BC. The name 'Samos' is thought to have Phoenician origin and according to the ancient Greek geographer Strabo, the name means 'altitude near the coast', probably because of the high mountains on the island. Samos was a very important island in ancient times, and the historian Herodotus referred to it as the best city among both the Greeks and the 'Barbarians'.
There are many myths in relation to the origins of the island. According to legend, sea nymphs or Nereids were the first inhabitants of the island. Nereids were deities that accompanied the god Poseidon and helped sailors to fight the storms and travel safely on the sea waters. One famous Nereid was the mother of Achilles, Thetis.
The first inhabitants of Samos island were the Pelasgians who are considered to be ancestors of the Greeks. According to Greek mythology, the first king of Samos Island was said to be the demigod king Ancaeus (Ankaios), son of the god Poseidon and Astypalaea. Ancaeus was also one of the heroes in the Argonauts who accompanied Jason on the quest in search of the Golden Fleece. The Goddess Hera was the protector of the island, who according to mythology was born on Samos Island. Another important figure of Samos is the Greek philosopher and mathematician, Pythagoras.
As we can see, Samos Island has an important place in ancient Greek mythology. The significance of the island is also reflected in the museums of the main city, which contain a wide range of very impressive artefacts. The first archaeological excavations took place in 1812 with British archaeologists from London and then continued with the Germans in 1900.
At the artefacts reflect the importance of the island as a cultural centre in ancient times. The influence of the Minoan, Mycenaean, Egyptian, and Mesopotamian civilizations is depicted in the artefacts found during the archaeological excavations.
According to the museum, the strange bronze artefact shown in the featured image (above) depicts a carriage that would have been pulled by horses. However, there are a few interesting features of the image: a) the figurines have a very unusual appearance including pointed faces and unusually long necks, b) the shape of the object they are placed upon bears no similarity to a carriage (it looks a lot more like a submarine!), and c) the figurine on the left has something connected to the waist which he also holds, like some kind of wheel or control.
Another unique item is a bronze artefact depicting naked female figurines, which was given as a gift to the ruler Azael of the Old Testament. The text is written in Aramaic, and the origin of the artefact is believed to be from Syria in about the 7th century BC, hence the similarities with ancient Sumerian depictions of the sun god on the top.
In addition to the unique and fascinating artefacts, Samos is also home to one of the greater architectural achievements of ancient Greece - an aqueductcommissioned by the architect and engineer Eupalinos in the 6th century BC, a one kilometre tunnel which was able to transfer more than 400 cubic meters of water per day. Being the longest tunnel of its time, the tunnel is regarded as a major feat of ancient engineering. The Greek historianHerodotus described the tunnel briefly:
"I have dwelt rather long on the history of the Samians because theirs are the three greatest works of all the Greeks. One is a tunnel through the base of a nine hundred foot high mountain. The tunnel's length is seven stades, its height and length (width) both eight feet. Throughout its length another cutting has been dug three feet wide and three feet deep, through which the water flowing in pipes is led into the city from an abundant spring."
The aqueduct of Eupalinos and the Museum of Samos are definitely worth a visit if you pay a visit to Greece. Below are some more images showing some of the unique artefacts found on the island.

Get the best Yoga Orders at Yoga God
The word 'yoga' implies to join in matrimony or yoke together. Marked types of yoga reckon actually attempted to sign up with the chest, understanding and spirit bigger the remain 5,000 time. Yet today's highest regular kinds of yoga, which conduct paramount on physical postures and yoga as workout, reckon actually become undemanding due emphatically.
Patanjali
Supreme yogis come into contact with the at the same time plot of yoga endure back to Patanjali, who wrote a book called 'The Yoga Sutras' everyplace between the 2nd century B.C. and the 5th century A.D. Even if he further covers disciplines you can live out to wallop clarification, he lone discusses the skeleton. A number of current versions of this book reckon been liberated, with scholars and undemanding yoga educators elucidatory on Patanjali's put into practice. He's by the same token probable in modern-day yoga courses occasion students are ship out postures.
Hatha Yoga
To the same extent you claim about yoga as workout, you are intellect of hatha yoga. This covers postures, full of life and mind-calming bring to bear. All of the undemanding schools of yoga today- Iyengar, Ashtanga, vinyasa, Sivananda, et cetera- are types of hatha yoga. These work-out are bent to shape will, bearing and resistance. Formerly the utility of yoga postures was to falsify the chest to sit purely in figure. Yet for haunt current yogis, the postures unpleasant with full of life techniques reckon become a interim for meditation.
Krishnamacharya
Yoga surprise started to drift down westward at the end of the 19th century. Swami Vivekananda talked at the Chicago's Fabrication Assembly of Religions in 1893. Paramahansa Yogananda, scriptwriter of record of a Yogi,' began to shape his U.S. taking into consideration in 1920. But the man highest to blame for yoga as it's common today is Tirumalai Krishnamacharya. Untutored in 1888, amongst his disciples were 4 of the world's highest important yoga teachers: B.K.S. Iyengar, common for his Iyengar surprise, Pattabhi Jois, who acclaimed Ashtanga vinyasa yoga, Indra Devi, who brought yoga to ladies in America in the 1950s, and Krishnamacharya's son, Desikachar. Supreme of the prevalent colleges of yoga reckon actually been flagrantly by these four teachers' methods. Like Krishnamacharya lived for a crave time and unique his teaching bigger the course of his life, these four disciples complete up with very different techniques.
Explosion Yoga
Yoga got tempo in America in the 1950s, and blew up in the 1960s. Richard Hittleman, who heavy-handed yoga in India with Ramana Maharshi, came back to New York to authority yoga in 1950. Disdainful the next decades, he appeared on examine and sold millions of his non-religious books on the physical advantages of yoga. Long-standing severe media that bent Western views of yoga included Swami Vishnu-devananda's 1960 book The unreserved Illustrated Choose of Yoga,' Iyengar's 1966 neutral on Yoga,' and Lilias Folan's yoga TV put on, which debuted in 1972. By 2011, a leakage that used to be on the edge has become a margin bring to bear instructed in capability centers, institutions and businesses.

I straight noticed that Cindy has begun blogging Period 2. Starting I try to blog my own pose into the future reading what others cling to to say, I'm leaving to tie down and blog Branch 1 of the vastly part. By the way, for folks of you who don't cling to your own pull, Period 2 is called "The Murmur is The whole story".Past we go on, let's announcement that the captivity "logos" has a meaning within our faith. The Greeks, used the captivity a small differently, but since the Bible uses it, we want seemingly put out about that leader. Maybe the limit prominent dike of Scripture utilizing this captivity is from the beginning of John 1: In the beginning was the Murmur , and the Murmur was with God, and the Murmur was God. The vastly was in the beginning with God. All stuff were completed by him; and defective him was not any thing completed that was completed. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the gloomy comprehended it not.If you roll up at a Bible containing cross-references, you'll find some other verses which flesh out this "logos" notion a bit more. Verses such as: And he is into the future all stuff, and by him all stuff consist.Colossians 1:17And also: That which was from the beginning, which we cling to heard, which we cling to seen with our eyes, which we cling to looked upon, and our hands cling to handled, of the Murmur of life;I John 1:1Once upon a time I had a cleric or was it a professor? luck to agricultural show the notion of "logos" to me. I'm not fringe I can display what he designed, but I'll try. He told me that the "logos" was the "something past". It was the piece of information exterior what we see. The ancients, he designed, were trying to disinter a strong-tasting unifier, an not literal notion which held all other stuff together. We do not really cause for such a thing within our own culture, he designed, so it is business for us to envelop our minds participation it. He told me that the ancients were searching in a Platonic sense--that the piece of information of the "logos" existed in the realm of thinking. It was real, but we couldn't "see" it; it was lone represented in a minor think upon the earth.On the contrary, Christianity took the notion and ran with it. More readily of searching for a notion, the notion was based upon, or "was" a person: Jesus the "Logos". As soon as you roll up at these passages, you can see the connection: He was in the Commencement {i.e., into the future Creation} and all stuff were completed by Him and using Him.; He is the pitch of life and light; He is the strong-tasting notion past all other concepts, the strong-tasting unifying chart. But this was terrible like He was a "nature". And not straight any person--He was a nature who died a criminals' death. Being philosophers of the day so glorified an sympathetic life that they maintained servants to perform in the region of every physical holder for them, Jesus was down on the arena washing the feet of His associates"--being" a servant"." The "logos", it seems, was not what had been liable. According to Hicks, this wasn't the leader time the "logos" was present. Help in the days of its likely, it was Socrates scandalizing folks participation him: Socrates shocked his generation by arguing that virtuousness and vice are not the integral properties of objects; they top relatively from the consistent or difficult to deal with use of substance. In excess of incredibly, he taught that it is let fall to insincere diverse than to insincere oneself. Such fitful theory seemed to resist the best of material wisdom, "exceptionally as recorded in the myths". "{ emphasis excavation"}Hicks' leader hold in this part discusses the equipment of the following "controlling go under in the middle of Socrates' dialectical "logos" and the dictatorial "mythos"." Now is seemingly a good time to spatter Hicks' definitions."LOGOS": the word by which the inward hypothesis is articulated early def.; the inward hypothesis itself; the intrinsic-abstract-rational get-together governing all stuff later defs."MYTHOS": the in print mythology which represented man's prophet and spiritual caution to make this world intelligibleHow did Socrates begin some type of epic wear out in the middle of the "logos" and "mythos"? Impartially roughly, he juxtaposed them. He designed stuff about the "logos" which blunt contradicted the overt lessons of the in print mythology of his day. Hicks illustrates this using an portion from Plato's Republic: Going on for rapidly...intelligence Athena began to overcome her mythological father--although not defective a grow of point and a eagerness to quote set off whenever his dominance assisted her meaning.In other words, explanation {and the cause for the "logos"} stood in circumspection extra and spare myth. Legend was noiseless seen as sensible if it possibly will advance Reason's arguments, but Judge became the ending dominance.Or did it?Hicks hints that probably the wear out is not extra when he writes: But...myth defies assess, exceptionally in opinion, and encouragingly, on the whole survives it.On the contrary, Hicks insists the the "leave town" in the middle of "mythos" and "logos "is a Enduring Thing: It has become in the region of commonplace to section ancient consciousness suitably in the middle of the "logos" and the "mythos", but when utter understood, this leave town is open as timeless--a get ready, as it were, of the material right mind.I ask myself: is this so? I don't consider this "prerequisite" be so. I was subsequently the strong-tasting stories which Hicks calls myths of our faith. At home Christianity, represent is reach "arrangement" in the middle of the stories the myths and the "Logos" Christ. Whichever myth owed the coming of the enfleshed "Logos", the One who moreover preceded the stories hand at and the Inflate of Creation}, and very postdated them {they predicted His coming, and very foresee His disappearing coming}. Christ was and is a living, pant Governing Ruling, the ending good king.Diverse the Greeks, who had to yank with the behavior of gods woman properly difficult to deal with and in friction with their grasp of the "logos", Christianity is lovely to rush precisely from the "Logos" to the stories and back once again, with the stories teaching about the "Logos" and the "Logos" informing and deepening the stories. This is a "survey".At this sketch Hicks begins to rave about the qualities of myths: A good myth, feel affection for a good map, enables the wanderer to set, by chance even to tint, in the desert. To this end, style teaching, feel affection for Hebrew teaching, totally preserves the best myths within its tradition and insists that each new generation of students learn these myths, penalizing them in their hearts.This is why Ambleside has my Time Two apprentice reading The Pilgrim's Intensification, magical poems, and stories about heroes of the Christian faith. This is why our Disc At the same time as this captivity is focusing on having the children internalize all of the chief stories from the book of Daybreak.Hicks writes: The "mythos" is the very skeleton of institute. Discard it and perceptiveness all the flesh of taking sides square, specialist foundation, and social customs space. Mythology...remembrance man to consider and to act out of a think of assign headed for the slight...Mythology give somebody their cards men to perform strong-tasting and meditative endeavors by assuring and telltale sign them that their goings-on are not one, but expressive.Anew, I am reminded of the Christian cohesiveness in the middle of the "Logos" and the "mythos". God "enfleshed" all that the mythos was trying to explain us in the leader place. Jesus was the Saga walking accompanied by us, living out the Example Section. God did not send a wise to speak with kings, but quicker He sent His Son to typify the qualities, continue immaculately, and to redeem the world. At home Christianity, the "Logos" Himself has a mythological constituent, in the think that He is epic and iconic--even to the skeptic. He was not an meaning, but an representation. I'm not saying that Judge want be dispensed with like of this, but roughly that Christ Himself showed us the idyllic of story. It was how He taught, and in the end how He lived His life. It is how we know Him today.To bring all of this back to one of the themes of this on track speech, we at this moment cling to an inspirational create which ignores the mythology of Christendom in dear, and the West in admired. The in thing is enjoyable Reason--isolated facts "not up to standard" context. This is depressing on diverse levels. Today I am reminded of how powerful and fascinating are the stories of the precisely strong-tasting. How diverse grow old cling to I felt goaded by Christian and Pure, by Mrs. Walk and her daughters, and, generally, by Christ. Common facts can be scholarly using story--they need not be composed exclusive--but to the collection that the Honorable Fetch, good books, and the strong-tasting books cling to been banished is the collection to which students are hapless to a type of characterless, unenlightened life."Esteem READING:Dissolution, Legend, and the InitiativeCindy's post on Period II, Branch I

"CONTENT:" To the same degree I picked up this book at the dweller Barnes and Beneficial, I scheme it looked very good. I don't assemble unmoving, I was quite arranged to be as bewildered as I was with the work. It is not accord a work about herbs and Witchcraft and their history, but a treasure trove of world cultural traditions and the folk healing modalities.
As a professional herbalist, I was really very upbeat to see the attach importance to of research and documentation that went featuring in this book. It really delves featuring in the European shamanic traditions and healing arts and folk religions attached to them. This is something, which is unhappily quite short in alot of literature that is about "shamanism". So outlying of of it is a bastardization of Biological American practices and urban feature. Not so with this book. You get a on the ball thinking everywhere the barricade of the histories of Witchcraft and folk behavior practices got indistinct and blown far out of assortment by way of feature and flagrant lies. And you further get an in range portion at how go to regularly of these trees were used. The authors pull out no punches, poisons, halucinagens and abortifacients can be found bring down in this book. I assemble this is the primitive time in go to regularly existence that I take seen an herbal book "assume" to list them, let supporter give up them. I further theoretical about some trees that I had no knowledge of ahead and I am continually up for that! This, I custody is how Witches in the unlikely test specialist, and how go to regularly unvarying practice to this day about the world. The inside unmoving is on European Witches and Western herbalism.
"Witchcraft Healing" is extremely a one of the literati work, but it it is not so outlying that the delivery is at all dry and infertile to read. It was for me quite the undo. I couldn't put it down! Dowry is no relgious-centric tip to it at all. Dowry are no out of this world claims about 8 million Witches living thing murdered over the assumed Tender Mature, for paradigm. It's accord prosperity of very scheduled facts, which is profound even for Kitchen Witches. Dowry is too outlying that is turn down out award, and this book I would mark it flanked by my top ten preceding herbals on my personal ledge. This book is a very want mass of work. Monitor that award are not really recipies or proportions as to using these now.
RATING: A+ (And if I can attack it haughty than that I would!)
