| Quick question about music |

mood:  excited

Besides, the CD's and such that ADF sells, is there anywhere else to find Pagan themed music? Someone in my area is looking to start a Pagan voiced choir and I told him I would look around to see what I could find.
And we might be doing something similar here so I wanted to make sure I had a broad base of music to choose from for myself as well. Thanks to all who can help. |

Wounded Heart
To give it all
To a stranger
Who just keeps taking
Not giving
To want, so much more
But know, you are not breaking
The heart of
The one you love
To give it all
To a trusted friend
Who loves you
And gives twice back
To want, so much more
But know, you are breaking
The heart of
The one you love
Where is the
Happy medium?
The stranger?
The Friend?
Wanting more
No longer an option
But know, you are breaking
The heart
Of your very own |

The Crow Flies By
As I sit –
Lurking with
the morning fog
The crow flies by…
The bringer of a message
that I don’t understand
The keeper of a secret
that only he knows
The Crow
So silent
steadfast and true
guarding all I have
Taking my thoughts
As he flies
To a safe place
To consume as I lurk
As I sit
The crow
Flies by |

You Are From Neptune |
You are dreamy and mystical, with a natural psychic ability.
You love music, poetry, dance, and (most of all) the open sea.
Your soul is filled with possibilities, and your heart overflows with compassion.
You can be in a room full of friendly people and feel all alone.
If you don't get carried away with one idea, your spiritual nature will see you through anything.

Greetings all...
Just wanted to let you all know about 4 MD_ERAFC workshops in August at Cedarhurst Unitarian Universalists Church in Finksburg. MD_ERAFC Members, Ariel and Chris will be doing a series of Shamanic journeys workshops every Friday night in August. The gathering starts around 7 - 7:30, and the workshop will probably start not too long after that, and run til about 9 or 10. This event is open to the public, and is free, but on a donation base only...donations will go to the church for use of the space and electricity. The address for Cedarhurst is 2912 Clubhouse Road, Finksburg, Maryland. We meet in the basement in the children's chapel.
People will need to bring a notebook and pen, drum or rattle, if possible, wear comfortable clothing and bring a pillow to sit on. Also, they will need a bandana to cover their eyes. Learn how to do a shamanic journey to lower and upper worlds, find power animals and guides.
For more information, please visit the MD_ERAFC yahoogroup at Http://www.yahoogroups.com/groups/MD_ERAFC
Blessings,

mood:  worried

When I was in high school(a little over 4 years ago now) I did a ritual- with my then boyfriend (truely evil) that I"m wondering if anyone would be willing to help me design something to undo it...
I don't remember much of the actual ritual but the wordds spoken were
To seal the fate of future
and bind us together
heart to heart and mind to mind
fluid like flowing water
solid on steadfast stone
contained by fragranced wind
eternal like fire alone
create in us a bond
formulated to never break
we pledge to bind this act
it is the pact we make |

Greetings all,
many of us accept that love can come from anywhere, and that Gay and lesbian relationships are not only about the bedroom. These people want the same rights that are guarenteed to other Americans. They want to be able to visit their significant other in shock trauma if there is an accident. They want to be able to ensure that their spouse is taken care of in the event of one's death. they want to be able to file taxes and get a break for being a married couple. They want to adopt children as a Family. Who are we to take one aspect of a relationship and say that it is the only part of that relationship? There is so much more to gay and lesbian relationships than the sexuality part of it. Our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters love in the same way as we do. They take care of each other when sick...they help each other financially..they loose each other to death sometimes, and they grieve in exactly the same way as heterosexuals. so, I ask you...Want to make a difference? The American Family Association is conducting an online poll about gay marriage, and plan to show their results to Congress. But who ARE they polling? Exactly! Lets add alternative input.
its now 55.44% in favor of gay marriage
Go here: http://www.marriagepoll.com
then Repost on your livejournal!
Help us skew their results! It takes a few seconds of your time. If you do not want to do this, or if you do not agree with gay marriage, simply forget I ever posted this. blessings, to each of you and Happy holidays!

Hello everyone.
I want to advertise a new shop that has opened up...it's called Itchita's Way. It's currently located at Bargain Bill's Fleamarket in Laurel, Delaware, but sometime between January and March we will be opening a storefront in a new location, which I will post about then. It's a Metaphysical shop intended to cater to all spiritual beliefs, and taking great care to respect everyone. We currently feature herbs, jewelry, pendulums, teas, annointing and essential oils, as well as various other oils, waters, books, and relics. We also carry a number of Native American handcrafted reproductions.
Some example items:
High John
Solid Amber
Mandrake Root
Dragon's Blood
Assorted Pendants and Talismans
and more. We'll attempt to find anything you might request, as well.
I thank you all for your time.
EDIT: I had forgotten to mention, there are two metaphysical shops at this location. Ours is the one located indoors. |
