The current Mercury retrograde cycle is sure to go down as one of the most entertaining in recent memory. South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson kicked off the season of gaffs and laughs with his now well-known, “You lie!” outburst during President Obama’s health care address to Congress. A few days later at the U.S. Open, tennis icon Serena Williams expressed her displeasure with a line judge’s call by shouting, “If I could, I would take this … ball and shove it down your … throat.” The very next day Kanye West got into the act at the MTV Composition Video Awards by butting into Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech, only to be inadvertently admonished on the following day by none other than President Obama, who mistakenly thought that his comments were not being recorded, referred to the rapper as “a jackass.” And we won’t even start on the mischief Mercury is merrily building with the ACORN federally funded housing for prostitutes and pimps debacle. If you never quite understood why this planet is the famed Trickster of the zodiac, now you know.

Diplomatic, impeccably mannered Libra comes to town on September 22nd when the Sun enters the sign of relating and balance at 2:19pm PST. Ruled by the planet of beauty, Venus, the sign regaled for its tact and decorum will likely place a stop to the unwitting lip slippage, especially after the 29th when Mercury goes direct. Libra’s aim after all, is to see things from all points of view, to weigh them carefully and to then act harmoniously in the cause of peacemaking. Rude behavior of any sort is simply unacceptable to Libra sensibilities. In 2009, the Sun, Mercury’s entry into the sign of the scales on October 9th and Venus’s on the 14th will aid Libra’s lofty mission. We will be given the chance to reckon about and go towards our desires through Libra’s loving and laudable perspective. While we know the inherent truth and wisdom of parables such as like thy neighbor as thyself, walk a mile in another man’s shoes, and at all ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them, like no other sign, Libra challenges us to walk their walk. That’s because by its very definition it must relate to other, what or whoever that other is. So before us is an ideal opportunity to try on unfamiliar opinions and to try to see the things we believe in the most through the opposite top of view. The awareness gained from responsibility so can be transformative.

What’s so amusing about concord, like and understanding? Explicitly Pluto set to square the Sun on September 23rd, Mercury on October 10th, Venus on the 15th and Saturn on the 29th. In an effort to delight everyone and maintain a semblance of serenity, Libra can sacrifice its right feelings, compromise its core values or become irresolute to a debilitating point. Pluto, 90 degrees away from Libra in matter of fact Capricorn, will keep the concord and like fest real. The energies of the Sun, Mercury and Venus squares with Pluto are a excellent precursor to the building Saturn square to Pluto. That Square will last in anticipation of August of 2010 while Saturn’s overall journey through Libra will last in anticipation of October 5, 2012.

These first three alignments, involving the personal planets, will give us a glimpse into the places in our lives where being pleasant is at odds with our right beliefs in matters. They question us to negotiate and reconcile the distance between the two, and now is the time to get some mediation practice in. Learning how to honestly and constructively balance our conflicts and contradictions will prove to be an immensely valuable tool for the Saturn Pluto Square and long Saturn in Libra cycles ahead. Venus ruled Libra injects an (overdue) air of civility into our internal, personal, national and international debates. When personal or political arguments rise, we can try take the opposing view to see if a new insight is gleaned that helps the situation or our understanding of it. The Libra caveat simply insists that concord cannot come a the expense of what we hold sacred. So, contradictory as it sounds, we will have to fight for what we believe in. What can make the critical difference is how we fight. When upsetting the apple cart seems uncomfortable and un-Libran, it may be helpful to remember that this is also a cardinal sign which means that its right nature is aggressive, agitating and instigative. Two of the best examples of Libra’s ability to both disrupt the status quo and strive for a higher excellent for the majority are Libra natives John Lennon and Mahatma Ghandi. The seemingly incongruous and conflicting aspects of our lives and world must be confronted, integrated and balanced, like Libra’s symbolic scales.

Other points of interest along this year’s Libra solar journey are the full moon in Aries on October 4th, harmonious solar trines to Jupiter on the 10th and Neptune on the 16th and a new Libra moon on the 18th.

Are you as confused as me? I would describe myself as rational, logical and probabaly a sceptic of most things metaphysical, yet I admit  to a particular curiosity and even a small tingle of apprehension possibly,certainly enough to have me reading about and listening to subjcts I would normally be deaf to. I have seen disaster movies and delight in watching them as light entertainment, but lately I find myself looking at them with uncommon eyes and questions, I keep thought is Hollywood trying to prepare us for something  in some way?

I am talking about the Mayan end of the world, year 2012 prophecy of course. What does it all mean? In thought about it  I have a dreadful lot of questions, such as, Does armageddon 2012 mean life extinction, or life changing? What exactly is supposed to happen? Is there anything we can do to prepare for it? And if so what? Will there be survivors? And how do we survive 2012? It is intriguing to reckon about , is it not?
There are two things I can say that I am absolutely sure about, no doubts what so ever. 1  governments  lie to us all the time, and keep us in the dark about lots of things.  2   Media is a puppet of the governments and feed us exactly what they are dictated to tell us  or not tell us  as the case may be.

I know all this all sounds rather frightening and even scare mongering to some, never the less it is rather intriguing to reckon about, and more than anything else it puts today and how we live our lives into some kind of focus, and possibly if we give credence to some kind of doomsday in the forseeable future, it will remind us of what is vital today and even for a sceptic  like me that is a worthwhile pursuit.

2012 Mayan prophecies, questions, answers and information.

If you have never had one done before your probably wondering what psychic readings are really all about. Do they involve some sort of voodoo or weird anti-religious happenings? What happens in a psychic reading and how does it all work. Readings must be some weird form of magic right?

Well, at this top in time knowledge hasn’t establish a way to determine how a reading works but they have been able to prove that some psychics are in fact real and able to tell you things about yourself, your future, other people, and even those that have passed on, and they can do this with out having any way of know. Although there are a lot of fake psychics out there you can usually spot a fake from a mile away after being paid one or two readings from that self.

Psychic readings have nothing to do with voodoo or anything of the sort. Most psychics follow one of two religions, they are either extremely divot Christians who see their gift as a gift from God himself or they follow one of the Pagan religions and their views may very a bit as to where the gift comes from but no matter which one you look at they both believe that their gifts come from something that is more powerful than they are and that they were given this gift to help other people by way of psychic readings.

There is just nothing evil or weird about it for them and really there shouldn’t be. The ability to give a psychic reading is a very natural thing and although there is a particular amount of ability in every self that can be trained and brought out a bit more a full on psychic is really born with this ability, a God given gift if you will.

So then what are psychic readings? Really its nothing more than a clairvoyant version of eye sight or hearing. For some psychics, asking them a question is like asking someone what color something is. The reader can see, hear, feel, or sense something that other people can not. That’s why they call it a sixth sense. Of course, just like learning how to talk it is not always something that comes simple and needs practice. If a self realizes that they have this sixth sense and they start responsibility readings at a childish age then by the time that they are an adult and ready to enter into the field of psychic readings then they will be ready.

2. The Top 10 Ways To Improve Psychic Abilities
3. April Fools Day – The Psychic Connection

Ruth Montgomery Writes Again! is a book written by a New England family tree, the Macombers, about the “automatic writing” transmissions they have been receiving from the spirit of the award-winning late journalist, and best-selling writer, Ruth Montgomery. This is the same method by which Mrs. Montgomery, the one-time “Diane Sawyer of Her Day” turned “First Lady of the Psychic World,” channeled information from “Spirit Guides” on “The Other Side” in authoring many groundbreaking books on psychic phenomena.

Ruth Montgomery Writes Again! is based upon the automatic writing transmissions the Macombers have received from Ruth Montgomery since she died on June 10, 2001. Ruth clarified to the Macombers that she joined her Spirit Guides – including her close friend, the famed medium, Arthur Ford – in Heaven and said that the human race was at a critical juncture. Ruth said that she and the Guides would be providing information to the Macombers — more than one of them — that was to be used to write a book series that would spell out how humanity can save itself from self-destruction. Ruth Montgomery Writes Again! kicks off that series and includes:   Heaven’s “Action Plot for Planet Earth”   1. An outline for a three-part action plot that gives solutions to the planet’s greatest problems:   I. The need for Third World countries to receive greater recognition in world affairs. The Guides have emphasized that these nations should be accorded a greater voice in what goes on on our planet and that they have much to contribute to the world community. While these Third World countries need help from the more fortunate nations in terms of resources and political recognition, they also have much to offer in restore. The Guides have clarified that the populations of many of these Third World countries are very much in tune with the earth and possess knowledge of universal laws of existence that can be of splendid benefit to the human race as a whole.
        
II.  Secondly, the book brings to the reader’s attention the plight of deprived segments of society around the globe, especially the youth and women of the world. The Guides have clarified that childish people must receive more and better guidance early on in their lives, for they possess the potential to do splendid excellent in our world. The social conditioning in the U. S. and other developed nations seem to place too much significance on competition, greed, and materialism, and not enough on like, time spent with family tree, and the importance of responsibility for others.   With respect to women, both in the U.S. and abroad, the spirit realm has emphasized the need to right the existing imbalance between the genders.The rampant sexism that is so pervasive in virtually all aspects of society is not only grossly unfair, but is depriving the world from vast pools of underutilized wisdom, leadership, and talent.   III.  The third issue is the urgency of human beings taking better care of our home – the Earth. The Guides are imploring us to take immediate action to reverse the way in which we are now literally poisoning the planet and sowing the seeds of our own demise with an ostrich-like, head-in-the-sand mentality with respect to the future penalty of our present actions.   “The Huge Gig”   2. How the Spirit Guides let it be known that 50% of the book’s profits should be donated to help address the world’s single most pressing problem: the plight of The Third World.  These profits will be used to serve as seed money to initiate an ongoing series of Live-Aid like concerts involving all genres of composition that is to be known as The World Aid Concert Series (a.k.a. “The Huge Gig”).   “The Eternal Equation”   3. An examination of the forces of excellent and evil and how they correspond with the primary human emotions of like and dread. In fact, “Excellent Against Evil = Like Versus Dread” is the connecting thematic thread for the series, as well as the title of the Macomber family tree’s second book in the series.   This “equation” reflects the belief that the current “excellent and evil” prism through which so many people around the world view one another has only served to make a hard situation worse. The approach taken in the book series does not involve finger-pointing, but rather advocates a non- divisive, extremely inclusive model that is based upon the belief that human beings are essentially excellent, that we all have made our honest impart of mistakes (largely as the result of dread- based attitudes), and that we must stop viewing those with whom we disagree as “evil” if we are to make sure our collective future.   By using the GoodAgainstEvil.com field name, the book series seeks to tap into the worldwide  fascination with excellent and evil and get people talking about the topic. The Macombers hope that this will allow the project to have a platform from which to discuss this absolutely critical equation so that people everywhere can evaluate – and hopefully reconsider – the traditional perspective on excellent and evil.

Stephanie Barker works with the Macombers to spread relief and awareness to the world, one enlightened reader at a time.

1. Heaven And The New Age

Aries (Mar 21st – Apr 20th)

This is an emotional period for you wherein your sensitivity issues will rise to the surface and you will have to find a way to deal with them. You are advised to let go of a unenthusiastic situation or self from the past that may be making an emotional conflict and restlessness in your present. It’s time to go on and invite new and positive events into your life. A creative dream will materialize if you place your sensitivity and intent to it. Professionally you will be more productive working in a partnership/group/team than venturing into a solo initiative.  

Lucky Colour: Sea Blue

Lucky Dates: 6th, 15th

Taurus (Apr 21st – May 21st)

All the seeds you have sown in the past have brought you to a top of right recognition. You can drop your ‘masks’ safely and be the ‘individual’ you are; not the ‘personality’ that defines and limits your potential. This is a period of Divine intervention. Everything is exactly as it is meant to be for you to grow and evolve. Now is the time to drop all that is un-necessary in your life and prioritize. Beware of your sensitivity (emotion) and your head (logic) running into conflict this quarter. A strong ‘will power’ will align your head and sensitivity so you can make informed choices. Trust your instincts and you will never go incorrect.

Lucky Colour: Purple Haze

Lucky Dates: 3rd, 21st

Gemini (May 22nd – Jun 21st)

Lucky Colour: Blue Grey

Lucky Dates: 5th, 14th

Cancer (Jun 22nd – Jul 23rd)

You have stepped into an alchemical period. This birthday, divine gifts of creativity, inspiration, motivation and like are waiting to come to you. But, you might be feeling stuck in a gap with nothing to hold on to in your current situation. This feeling of isolation, being on the ‘additional than of things’, or unadorned cold indifference is just an external façade you have made to protect your ‘inner child’. Don’t worry! Something gorgeous is waiting to enter your life at this juncture. So step aside and allow it to happen.

Lucky Colour: Rainbow Palette

Lucky Dates: 11th, 2nd

Leo (Jul 24th – Aug 23rd)

This is a deeply healing period for you. You are in-between ‘cycles’. The ancient is about to be transformed into the new. But the ‘waiting’ is not simple and requires you to exercise ‘patience’ and ‘faith’ in all areas of your life. All the seeds you have sown in your past, all the hard work done and being done – is awaiting ‘fruitation’…you don’t have to over water the plant for it to grow – it will take it’s own time, but it will surely blossom into a perfect flower – as will you. Walk in faith and you will walk empowered. Everything will fall into place soon.

Lucky Colour: Midnight Blue

Lucky Dates: 11th, 29th

Virgo (Aug 24th – Sep 23rd)

1. You have become an empty cup ready to be filled. Hence, you will have plenty of opportunities for creative self expression this quarter. The more you ‘give out’ to others, the more you will ‘receive’ for yourself. You are on the brink of carrying out all that you started in the past in order to allow yourself new outlets for creative fulfilment in the future. You have a strong support system in your family tree and friends and they will be your greatest assets during this time. Turn to them for help, inspiration or simple information and you will never regret it. This is a turning top and you will do exceedingly well if you make the most of it.

Lucky Colour: Blazing Orange

Lucky Dates: 4th, 22nd

Libra (Sep 24th – Oct 23rd)

You may be feeling restricted in your present situation, like a bird in a cage, waiting to take a wing in the vast open sky of possibilities. But, there is an emotional baggage from your past that you are now tired of carrying and want to let go of.  Guess what? That is exactly where you are heading. Know that you are ‘master’ of your own ‘destiny’. The minute you acknowledge and accept this truth and surrender to it, grace will prevail and all your blocks will ease out effortlessly. Keep your focus, intent and faith firm and meet your desires halfway. For ‘You are your own Forerunner’. What you believe in-will manifest. But ‘you’ have to make that ‘choice’.

Lucky Colour: Milky White

Lucky Dates: 8th, 4th, 22nd

Scorpio (Oct 24th to Nov 22nd)

Lucky Colour: Forest Green

Lucky Dates: 7th, 6th, 3rd

Sagittarius (Nov 23rd – Dec 21st)

‘Like’ is the language of your soul. Everything you do is inspired out of like and compassion. For those who are single, this is a wonderful time for romantic engagements and even possibility of marriage. But, you might need to become aware of particular individuals who are not being ‘honest’ to you. Draw your boundaries. Make sure that you are not roped into any form of gossip or controversy either. Professionally, you’ll have opportunities to widen your horizons. But, don’t go with what is simple or right in adjoin of you. Explore all possible options available before you take the final plunge.

Lucky Colour: Blazing Red

Lucky Dates: 6th, 15th, 2nd

Capricorn (Dec 22nd – Jan 20th)

You are way too talented to keep all your gifts to yourself. It is time to drop your walls of inhibition and allow the creative energies to flow out to others. You have gathered enough experience, knowledge and wisdom and now is the perfect time to impart it with like minded people. This is the time for interaction, creative pursuit and self expression. But, if you stick to your need for structure and control, it will keep you from being spontaneous and playful. Let go and be free.

Lucky Colour: Golden Yellow, Earthy Brown, Lavender

Lucky Dates: 11th, 2nd

Aquarius (Jan 21st – Feb 19th)

Life is an adventure; which means that you will need to take more ‘risks’ in your life. That requires ‘courage’. You have been sitting in your ‘comfort zone’ for too long. Playing it safe will not get you to where you want to reach. So break out of the shackles of ‘should I or shouldn’t I’, ‘will it or won’t it’, and act on your own inner guidance. Don’t compromise! You don’t need approval or information. You know exactly what you want and how to get it. All you need to do is follow your instincts.

Lucky Colour: Hot Pink, Orange, Sunny Yellow

Lucky Dates: 10th, 1st

Pisces (Feb 20th – Mar 20th)

Professionally you might be feeling repressed and the cracks seem to be appearing on the surface from time to time. Mental conflicts keep you split and restless and in a state of indecision. But, there is excellent news. This quarter, will bring you renewed energy and creative thoughts will flow through you effortlessly. You will start new or re-start ancient projects. Inspiration accompanied with hard work will lead you to brighter horizons. This is the ‘spring time’ of your year so don’t hesitate to say ‘yes’ to every opportunity or thought that inspires you. If it’s not ‘now’, then ‘when’?

Lucky Colour: All shades of Red, Orange and Yellow

If you truly knew how to benefit from the New Age movement you would have a new establish respect for spirituality, the metaphysical, and occult part of your life. So much can be accomplished when you use that part of your brain that lies dormant.

It is scientifically proven that you only use about 90% of your brainpower. It is right that there is no scientific evidence to support many New Age theories. But, sometimes, it may be to your advantage to go with intuition and faith.

Dogs can hear higher pitches or tones that humans cannot hear. Simply because you cannot hear these higher vibrational tones does not mean that they do not exist. This is the mindset needed when approaching spiritual, metaphysical, occult or New Age concepts.

New Age spirituality often incorporates aspects of the Earth, Moon, and outer space; the term New Age refers to the Astrological Age of Aquarius. This spirituality is characterized by an individual approach to spiritual practices and philosophies.

Spirituality covers a wide variety of disciplines from alternative medicine to goddess worship — all of which strives to offer an atmosphere that is serene and inviting for all spiritual backgrounds.

Following are a few ways to benefit from New Age thought:

1. New Age composition is composition of innumerable styles, which is intended to start inspiration, relaxation, and positive feelings, often used by listeners for yoga, massage, inspiration, relaxation, and meditation.

2. New Age doctrines and practices (such as Kundalini Yoga) teach that there are seven “Chakras” (or spiritual doorways) within the body through which energy flows. Using this form of spiritual exercise can be highly beneficial.

3. New Age gurus often claim that all the world religions teach the same core truth: all people possess an inner divinity. If you are divine you are very powerful. Once realized there is no limit as to what you can achieve.

4. Using alternative medicine such as herbs can prolong the life, promote a youthful appearance, increase memory, increase your sex drive, eliminate infections, bacteria, viruses, fungus and much more.

5. New Age physician Larry Dossey in his most recent book, Healing Words, has listed over 100 studies on the power of prayer to heal, over half showing that prayer brings about “significant changes.”

6. New Age belief in unlimited human potential – our power to “take responsibility” and shape our own future – is increasingly being useful not just to the individual, but to society as a whole.

7. New Age mind control techniques are widely taught in our seminaries, churches, schools and businesses as self-help courses.

8. New Age is a relatively new expression on all sides of Eastern way of life, mystical traditions, Native American beliefs, Celtic Goddess worship and psychic phenomena. In many cases, upon applying these ancient principles instant results are obtained.

1. The Psychic Development

Feeling down and out.  Well, possibly its time to turn off the television and stop listening to all of that terrible news.  Place yourself in a cool down spot — reckon of something that has made you feel really excellent.  Possibly it was the birth of a child — or that splendid trip and how much fun you had.  Do you remember the last time you had a really excellent laugh? 

It’s during really tough times that I sit in cool down and reckon about the excellent things in life, not the terrible.  Concentrate, use that imagination of yours — do you feel it now?  It’s a nice warm feeling — like like.  Like really is part of joy.

Along with medicine from the doctor, positive thought, has helped me battle illness, and overcome it with flying colours.  Positive thought, giving yourself a shot of hope — is a huge part of joy.

You can’t buy joy from a store, but you don’t need to, it already belongs to your sensitivity and soul.  You just have to remember it’s there.

Showing someone a smile, greeting them with a goodmorning — well, that’s joyous.  If you surround yourself with positive people — that will  help you keep your joy.

Sometimes I’ve listened to a really excellent motivational speaker.  They made me feel pleased and upbeat.  Well, feeling pleased — that’s feeling your joy.

If you believe in what comes around goes around — well be joyous — and it will always come back to you.

Joy should and can become a part of who you are.  It’s a wonderful gift — use it, and never ever let anyone take it away.  Yes, joy belongs to you, so take ownership of it.

Joy, if we all used it — what a joyous world it would be.

Now go out there and spread some joy.

Before you are able to receive the gift of spiritual awareness and transformation you must examine its attributes. It would be wise to examine each of the following: spiritual awareness, spiritual transformation, and spiritual gifts.

Spiritual awareness is what enables us to experience oneness which can be ecstatic and the most fulfilling passion of all. It is about being mindful of spiritual Truths and transcending the darkness of your personal reality (a manifestation of your beliefs) into the light of The One Truthful Reality which is ordinary to All.

Spiritual awareness or spiritual awakening is the process by which we commence to explore our own being in order to become whole and reunite our spirits with our physical bodies in a commonality of function. To be more concise, spirituality is about consciousness, which in turn is everything we experience.

Spiritual awareness is vital for us today because we must remember that we are spiritual beings first and foremost, and that as spiritual beings we are undergoing a physical experience in physical dense or flesh body.

Spiritual transformation cannot occur without the Grace of the Holy Spirit. It is your journey of self-discovery into your divine inheritance as a child of God. Therefore, it takes place through our longings and is a process of discovery of the self.

This takes place in link to the God who is the infinite source of truth, goodness, and beauty. A transformation occurs as we enter into Jesus’ way of life in his stance toward the Father directed by the Spirit. Therefore, it must be embodied, relational, and communal.

Spiritual gifts do not depend on natural talents and aptitudes or developed skills. These gifts intertwine the Divine and the Human and are ’spiritual’ in nature for they are given by the Holy Spirit to every believer (1 Corinthians 12:7-11).

They are “charismatic” — gifts of grace and are not abilities given to do something for yourself, alone. They are God’s empowerment of God’s people for His work. They are tools given to believers to do the work of the world – to fulfill the Splendid Commission to reach, teach and to minister to one another.

These gifts are to be used out of like and in service to others. Your spiritual gifts should be learned, developed and used freely and willingly. They are special abilities, or divine enablements, given to you to make your unique role. They represent intelligences that can help our ascent through the spiritual levels and the breadth of our compassion for others.

Spiritual gifts are normally divided into four areas: people gifts, speaking gifts, serving gifts, and sign gifts. They are given to all believers by the Holy Spirit (Romans 12:3, 6) at the time they place their faith in Christ for the forgiveness of their sins.

The gifts include: a word of wisdom, a word of knowledge, faith, workings of power, a prophecy, discernment of spirits, kinds of tongues, an interpretation of tongues. They come along when we need some additional help to do that which God places before us.

1. Connecting with your Spiritual Source

The Honey or Mead Moon is now upon us. A Wiccan moon indeed. Crops are now close to their first harvest. Honey is abundant, and people make mead. A time of plenty and thanks. The power of the sun starts to decline. Candle colour for this moon is golden yellow, symbolic of the declining sun.

St John the Baptist, Scripture tells us, lived in the Wilderness where he subsisted on a diet of locust and honey. St John is, therefore, the patron of beekeepers. It’s around the time that we celebrate St John’s Birthday, June 24th, that the hives are full of honey.

And the full moon that occurs after Midsummer’s Eve & St John’s Nativity is called the Mead Moon, because honey was fermented to make mead. It is also called the HONEY MOON. [In 2009, this full moon occurs the first full week of July.]

It’s a time for lovers. An ancient Celtic proverb says, “Midsummer Night is not long but it sets many cradles rocking.” Midsummer dew was said to have special healing powers. Women washed their faces in it to make themselves gorgeous and childish.

Here’s a sixteenth century definition of HONEYMOON:

The first month after marriage, when there is nothing but tenderness and pleasure … originally having no reference to the period of a month, but comparing the mutual affection of newly-married persons to the changing moon which is no sooner full than it starts to wane; now, usually, the holiday spent together by a newly-married couple, before settling down at home.

According to some sources, the HONEYMOON is a relic of marriage by capture, based on the practice of the husband going into hiding with his wife to avoid reprisals from her relatives, with the intention that the woman would be pregnant by the end of the month.

As a woman’s cycle runs much like that of the moon, the time to conceive a child was between the time of marriage (or capture) and the HONEY MOON.

It has also been said that the origins of this word date back to the times of Babylon. In order to increase the virility and fertility of the newly-weds, the father of the bride would provide his son-in-law with all the mead (the fermented honey-based drink) he could drink during the first month of the marriage (and, therefore, moon).

The custom of drinking mead after a wedding for a month was also a medieval custom.

Other possible explanations of the word HONEYMOON have to do with the date that weddings traditionally took place. Weddings commonly took place during this time of year for practical reason. That is, it was the time between the planting season and the harvesting season. As it was also this time of year that honey was harvested … again we have the HONEYMOON.

In many parts of Europe it was traditional to supply a newly married couple with enough honey drink — mead — to last a month, ensuring happiness and fertility. From this practice we get HONEYMOON.

A excellent moon, this one, delight in it with me….

Like and Light

The history of the Runes is steeped in mystery and secrecy, with many scholars today arguing the case for uncommon origins and purposes. For over two thousand years Runes have held a fascination with people, land a sense of magic and wonder. For an alphabet to have gained this aura of mystery seems perhaps odd, yet Runic history shows that these symbols were not made purely as an alphabet with which to communicate, but as symbols of the world around them, including the unseen forces.

Legend tells that the history of the Runes starts with Odin, the mighty God of the Norse mythology. It is said that Odin hung from the World Tree, upside down, for nine days and nine nights, after which he died. As he passed on to the realm beyond death he gained knowledge and understanding beyond that of mortals, after which he was reborn. His knowledge was then passed on in the form of Runes.

The very word, ‘Rune’ means ‘shrouded in mystery’ or ‘hidden wisdom’, and so it is unsurprising that much speculation and disagreement exists today as far as some of the origins and deeper meaning of the Runes is concerned. We do know that some of the Runic symbols are very ancient, establish in carvings from the Bronze Age, and it is fascinating to note that several of these have survived to current alphabets in very similar forms.

The use of Runes today as a means of divination is not new, since this was one aspect of the Runes which was used widely between one and two thousand years ago. In addition to being used as a means of divination or fortune telltale Runes were also used as part of magical rituals and spells. About a thousand years ago the Roman Empire was spreading the use of its own alphabet very widely and successfully, which led to the relative demise of Runes as an alphabet, with their meaning and knowledge handed down the generations in ways which heightened their secrecy and mystery.

But this knowledge and history of the Runes has survived down the ages, and has seen recent revivals which have helped to shed more light on this fascinating alphabet, and on its people. The Runic alphabet is not merely a pool of symbols which may be used in the creation of words or as a means of divination. Many Runic symbols reflect the deep beliefs of the people who made and used them, shedding light on the aspects of the world around them which were of prime importance. If Runic history has taught us anything today, then it is that the people who developed and used this alphabet were deeply connected to the realm of the spirit and to the natural world than we are today.

It is perhaps this undercurrent of mythology entwined with the link between Runes and both the natural world and the spiritual realm that has helped encourage their widespread use today. In a world of unseen digital information, wireless transmissions flying above our heads and gigabytes of data at our fingertips should we question the right questions, we have establish ourselves in a world where the unseen powers which bind us together are rooted more and more firmly in our own technology. Yet this can be deeply unsettling, and more and more of us are finding the need to explore a more spiritual dimension, even if that is small more than learning to see aspects of the world through the symbols and language of a people who achieved what today we can only dream of.

The history of Runes, as with our own language, draws together aspects from several paths and cultures, with some symbols being remarkably similar to Italic and Latin scripts, whilst others are entirely unique when compared to letters from any modern language. It is often the case that these unique symbols reflect aspects of the natural or spiritual worlds in ways which we are only recently beginning to piece together.

The Runic alphabet is more often referred to as the Futhark, and this is the more accurate term for the pool of Runic symbols. The word ‘alphabet’ simply derives from the first two letters of our own alphabet – alpha, beta. In the same way, the Futhark is also derived from the first few letters of the Runic sequence of symbols. But, there do appear to be a number of uncommon Futhark variations, and if you are investigating Runic history you will notice that the two main versions are the Elder Futhark and the Younger Futhark.

The Elder Futhark is, and the name suggests, the older version which consists of 24 letters of symbols, although in Medieval Europe, and England in particular, this was extended to 33 symbols. The Younger Futhark, predominantly developed around the 17th century, is a much reduced form, comprising only 16 symbols.

The history of the Runes reveals that, unlike Tarot cards, Runic symbols provide far more than merely a means of divination, but that they hold secrets impenetrable even to today’s scholars, and a mystery which has existed for thousands of years. Whether as a fascinating relic of a culture and language long gone, a symbol of the mystery and magic which has threatened the establishment across half the civilised world in its time, or as a means of divination which harnesses visions of a natural and spiritual realm realised by its creators, Runes today are more well loved than at any time in their history.
