Good Morning, I don't think anyone is into "casting out" anyone for a difference of opinion. At least I'm not. It is our differences that make it all so fantastically intreguing. I think in the end intention is the indicator. The power of intention is huge. I choose to only strive for the good of all but I am not going to sit down and get used like a door mat either. There is a fine line between "nice" and "hypocrite". I too don't believe the ring is the offering - it simply fell off while you were working. Sometimes I think we drop things into other dimensions as the veil is thinning. Then they all of a sudden re-appear in this one. That may sound crazy but I've had things "disappear" and re-appear in plain sight (like scissors in the middle of the kitchen counter). It's all such a fascinating ride isn't it? Even the "bad" things are lessons about ourselves if we choose to look at ourselves as much as the other person. There are no victims here only lessons and contracts, in my opinion. Offerings are made with deliberate intention and are not a requirement of blessings bestowed. If you want to make an offering with a full heart then that is what you should do. Gratitude for abundance, however is what I believe should be the basis for everything. It's ok if everyone disagrees with me. That's just how things are sometimes.
Blessings, Sheri

Ahhhhhhh what wisdom is being shared. What great things everyone brings to this topic. How I cherish everyones opinions and experiences.
Barbara~ I truly meant no disrespect or ill intent in offering a different take than you. I most certainly hope you don't feel "casted out". I just have a different perspective.
Sheri~ I love when you talk of dimensions. . .
and I love what you wrote,
"Offerings are made with deliberate intention and are not a requirement of blessings bestowed. If you want to make an offering with a full heart then that is what you should do. Gratitude for abundance, however is what I believe should be the basis for everything."
Yes, it rings so true (no pun intended). A lesson I am trying to retain, that offerings aren't required for blessings bestowed. Why do I believe there must be hardship for reward? Can I blame my christian influences that we must suffer on earth to receive heaven?
Sheri had once advised not to define positive and negative energy but to strive for neutralism. I thought of this when we were all talking of "freezing" or "flushing" (I also was reminded of Mara's suggestion that if you wash your hands of someone's energy, you are sending it down the drain, out into the open). This valuable obsevations influence my practices of the Art of Neutrality and Gratitude.
I loved the suggestion of a "gift swap" and have planned one for Lammas Sunday. I will be sure to take pics and share them here.
Peace be with us all,

Hi Ya'll, know one of the things I love about this group? the williness to share and support each other.
Carol, I don't think anyone was upset or offended by your protection spell. heck , you needed to protect yourself from a stalker. it doesn't hurt though to talk about unintended consequences and remind outselves once in a while. glad you are not having to deal with that woman anymore!
Mara, thanks for the suggestion about the dandelion root. I will give it a try. Dexter is doing a bit better thankfully, but bitters would still be a good idea I think.
great ideas for finding that ring. Hope it works out for you Amy.
thanks again for all your help. Hugs Phyllis |

Many thanks to all of you for your suggestions. Now, off to mow the lawn in the 90 degree heat. Maybe I will fall off of the lawn mower and onto my ring! LOL! I am really enjoying this banter. I hope you are all enjoying it as well.
Heide, you are such a wise and good soul and as for the rest of you, I am having a great time getting to know you all...

Oh yes, and I don't know why this keeps coming to mind, but obviously someone out there needs it so I am going to post this quote...
~And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make~
The last words, of the last song, on the last Beatles Album.
Whoever it is that needed to hear that, I hope it helps...

#13;#10;That's a wonderful positive way to express Karmic Law, isn't it? We too often focus on the danger of sending out negative energy and getting slammed for it at some point down the road. Thanks for the nudge, Amy. |

Jonnie...aaaaahno. OUR FAMILY!! I got a random email from one of the producers. She has seen my online presence and asked if our family would be interested in filming an episode. I asked for the particulars and she sent me all fo the info. we filled out the application and sent our photos as requested. IF chosen, we'd film sometime in September. It's quite exciting. Rob and I have speculated in the past after watching the show what it'd be like to be on that show. For it to remotely be a possibility is quite exciting! The chance to show America that not all Pagans are nutty fruit cake looney toons....That'd be fantastic!
I'd have t pump quite a bit of milk though, because Degory nurses so I'd have to make sure I had enough for him to last 7 days. OY! I'll keep you updated!

Yeah, I just wanted this woman to leave me alone and I just froze her name. It worked and that was after the Attorney General's Office and the police got involved. Things were resolved not long after that.
Amy, I hope so much that you find your ring. Maybe the fairies are enjoying it and will return to you soon!
And OMG Mara! I am going to email you off the board. Yes we are talking about the same Glen Burnie.... and guess what? The big Glen Burnie Carnival opens tomorrow night!

Hello there witchy farmgirls! I am so glad to have found you! I was very active on the MJFarmgirl connection a few years ago and drifted away because even though I felt connection on many of the farmy issues I felt very different and I ended up becoming very involved in Tribe where there were many artists and other belly dancers and I felt a like minded connection! A few weeks ago I started coming back to this site and looking around at how much it has grown and hadn't found anywhere to jump in until now! How exciting! I am a very casual Pagan who constantly seeks spiritual growth wherever I find it. Sometimes even in my Catholic upbringing, sometimes in Buddhist readings. Anyway, there is so much to read here and catch up on 29 pages!! I hope it's ok that I jumped in and would like to join you!
Brightest blessings!
joyously dancing through life |
