The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.
The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.
Do Pagans worship Satan?
Absolutely not. The concept of Satan originated in the writings associated with Christianity. Pagans do not believe in any deity or being that is purely evil, or in the concept of “hell” as described in Christian scripture. Most Neo-Pagans choose pre-Christian, Indo-European deities for spiritual focus, some of which have existed as far back as 3000 BCE. Back to top

Are Pagans Witches?
Witches are Pagan, but not all Pagans are witches. Witchcraft is a specialized form of Paganism where one has extensively trained themselves in herbology, magick and divination,
Lets see......I am a mother of 2 grown children, Brandon, who has 4 children soon to be 5 of his own now, and Rana who is working and making a living onher own.
I love old castles and would love to see England before I get too old. I would have loved to live in the old South and would like to take a trip that way soon too. We were planning on doing that a couple years ago before Katrina hit. I love to watch Ballroom dancing, ride in old Mustangs(69), ride horses, dress up for Halloween, decorate for Christmas (Hopefully next Christmas we will have a computer controlled light show).
I am what my son has called me for years a Cricgan. That means I have a Christian and Pagan (NO Pagans do NOT do sagefices of any kind! grow up and learn people) belief system, but in reality I follow many religions that do not harm innocents. I believe that all religions can walk hand in hand since they do all have the same root base (remember the Christian has a pagan root base and many of the Christian holidays are based on the same Pagan ones) and with open minds all religions can work together to make things better in this world.I do not believe in the Christian Churches because all they want is your money and really could care less about you or the family. Been there had it happen) So if you don't have an open mind about religion you had best leave now for intolerance will not be had here.
I am a Past Worthy Matron of the Order of the Eastern Star Wyoming Chapter #8.
I have been in the Society for Creative Anachronism for 230 years. I was Editor of a world wide magazine called The Pale which is the newsletter for the Middle Kingdom for 2 years. Since then I and my partner have been working on building our business and living life.
*******************************************
I truly wish that people would learn about religion and the belief system before going all spas about them. You may be surprised at what you may learn instead of the brain washing from others. My fiancé' went to Roman Catholic Seminary School to become a priest. It is very interesting the many things that are in the Bible of which many churches do not tell you about, like in Mathew where you are not to go around preaching your religion on the street (Paraphrased) or the complete Lord's Prayer.
This is something I hold near and dear to my heart. The cruelty of animals. There isn't any reason in the world for this to happen to the defenseless whether it be a child or especially an animal (I say especially an animal because an animal doesn't have a voice to speak out nor a way to find safety). If you see or have good reason to suspect a child or animal being abused please do not be afraid to speak out!!! It just may save a life.
Thus the blurb beside my pic......
"Never, never be afraid to do what's right especially if the well being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way."

A few things I like
***********************************************
Every American citizen needs to read this
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man becaus e of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Here is one I really like. A "dear" friend (Peggy who passed on June 30 2006) sent it to me a long time ago.
BITCHOLOGY
When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch.
When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way, they call me a bitch.
Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart.
It means I live my life MY way.It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.
When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am defined as a bitch.
The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish.
It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I"should" be.
I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!
So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame,try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won't succeed.
And if that makes me a bitch, so be it. I embrace the title and am proud to bear it!

20 Dollar Bill Seminar
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by
holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked,
"Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you
but first, let me do this.
He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
Well, he replied, "What if I do this?"
And he dropped it on the ground
and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.
"Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson.
No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it
because it did not decrease in value.
It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives,
we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt
by the decisions we make and
the circumstances that come our way.
We feel as though we are worthless.
But no matter what has happened or
what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased,
you are still priceless to those who
DO LOVE you.
The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE.
You are special - Don't EVER forget it."
If you do not pass this on, you may never know the
lives it touches, the hurting hearts it speaks to,
or the hope that it can bring.
Count your blessings, not your problems.
"And remember: amateurs built the ark ..
professionals built the Titanic.
If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.
