- GOD/GODDESS/ALL THAT IS
Silver, Lavender, Pink - Golden White
Nature: Passive
God/Goddess is the tone of the path, the vision, and the
embrace; the magnitude of which in surrender expands so that
truth can only become the beacon of All That Is and realize
itself as an aspect of the beacon.

Halloween and Samhain
The
Charge of the Goddess
"Hear my words, and know me. I shall be called by many
names, in many tongues; past ancient days, beyond this moment,
and through the end of time -- at once Artemis, Diana, Ishtar,
Aphrodite, Venus, the Morrigan, and Queen of the Witches. I am
the Great Goddess, Mother of All.
Whenever you have need of my aid; once a month and best when
the moon is full; and eight times more in the year, shall you
assemble in some secret place, to call me and to honor my
spirit. Know that my truths and my love shall make you free,
for no man can enslave you, or prevent your worship of me in
your mind and in your heart. Listen well when you come into my
presence, and I shall teach you of deep mysteries, ancient and
powerful; the rhythms of the planets and the seasons, the
circle of life and death and life renewed. That which is
unknown shall be known, and that which is hidden shall be
revealed; even the secluded soul shall be pierced with my
light. Yet I require no sacrifice or pain of your bodies, for
I am the Mother of all living things, and my only law is Love
Unto All.
I am the beauty of the green earth, the white moon that sails
among the stars, the mystery of the flowing waters, and the
desire of the heart of man. From me all things are born, and
to me all things in their season return. Let my joyous worship
be in your hearts; dance, sing, and feast in my name, for all
acts of love and pleasure are my rituals. Let there be beauty
and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth
and reverence within you, for these are the gifts which I
offer to all my children.
And you who seek to know me, know that your seeking and
yearning will avail you not, unless you know the Mystery; for
if that which you seek, you find not within yourself, you will
never find it without.
Hear my words, and know me truly; Lady of moonlight and
magick; Maiden, Mother and Crone. For behold, I have been with
you from the beginning, and I will welcome you into my arms
once more at the end of your earthly existence."
Adapted from "Moon Magic" by D. J. Conway; "To
Ride a Silver Broomstick"
by Silver Raven Wolf; and "Casting the Circle" by
Diane Stein.
May the deep wisdom traditions of the ancient ones who loved
and listened to the earth and who cherished and honored
Life-Spirit-Mystery flourish in our lives and world.

"Within
each of us, in the ground of our being, powers reside
for the healing of our world. These powers do not arise
from any ideology, access to the occult, or passion for
social activism. They are inevitable powers. Because we
are part of the web of life, we can draw on the strength
-- and the pain -- of every creature. This
interconnection constitutes our "deep
ecology": it is the source of our pain for the
world as well as our love and appetite for life."
--Joanna Macy

mesmerized
by melanin
The
Skin We're In
We humans are mesmerized by
melanin, the pigment that gives color to our skin,
but almost always for quite the wrong reasons.
By Christopher Wills
DISCOVER Vol. 15 No. 11 | November 1994 | Anthropology
Melanin is in the news these days. There's a
pseudoscientific idea floating around that says that if
you have lots of melanin--the pigment that colors your
skin and hair and the irises of your eyes-- you will be
smart and exquisitely attuned to life's rhythms and have
a warm, outgoing personality. In short, you will be
nicer and more talented than people with less
melanin--that is, white people.
Proponents of this idea, such as Leonard Jeffries,
chairman of the Department of Black Studies at the City
College of New York, have based their conclusions on the
single scientific fact that melanin is found not only in
the skin but also in the brain, and they have used the
compound's presence there to imbue it with magical
properties. Their "melanist" approach has gone
beyond promulgation in a few pamphlets and backroom
debates; it is now being taught at a number of high
schools and colleges in the United States, usually as
part of an effort to correct a Eurocentric view of the
world. Not surprisingly, such programs have generated a
great deal of criticism in the mainstream,
white-dominated press--which the melanists claim is
in itself an expression of racism. Why, they
counter, hasn't an equal amount of disapproval
been directed against the pronouncements of white
biological superiority? CLICK TO
