Listen to the words from the Great Mother, who was of old called amongst men, Isis, Artemis, Astarte, Dione, Melusine, Aphrodite, Diana, Arionrhod, and by many other names. Whenever you have need of anything, once in the month and better it be when the Moon is full or new, then shall ye assemble in some secret place and adore the spirit of Me, Queen of all Witcheries. There shall ye assemble, who have not yet won my deepest secrets and are fain to learn all sorceries. To these shall I teach that which is yet unknown. Ye shall be free from all slavery, and as a sing that you be free, ye shall be naked in your rites.You shall sing, feast, make music and love, all in my presence, for Mine is the ecstasy of the spirit, and mine is also joy upon earth. My law is love unto all beings. Mine is the Secret that opens upon the door of youth, and mine is the cup of the wine of life, the cauldron of Cerridwen, which is the Holy Grail of Immortality. I am the Gracious Goddess who gives the gift of youth unto the heart of mankind. I give knowledge of the Spirit Eternal, and beyond death, I give peace and freedom and reunion with those who have gone before. Nor do I demand aught of sacrifice, for behold, I am the Mother of all things and my love is poured out upon the Earth. Hear ye the words of the Star Goddess, She, in the dust of whose feet are the host of heaven, whose body encircles the universe. I am the beauty of the Green Earth, and the White Moon among the stars and the mystery of the Waters. I call unto thy soul: Arise and come unto me: for I am the Soul of Nature who gives life to the universe: from me all things proceed and unto me all things return. Beloved of all the Gods and men, let my worship be in the heart. Rejoice, for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals. Therefore, let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you. And you who think to seek me, know that your seeking and yearning will avail you not, unless you know the Mystery, that if that which you seek you find not within yourself, you will never find it without. For behold, I have been with you from the beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.

Cynthia McKinney for President 2008/Green Party Candidate
A shamanic pagan's roots are generally found in Native American faith. A true love and respect for the earth and all that it yields is central to their faith. Wisdom is most often found in spirit guides or totems, who can be animals, ancestors, or spirits. Pagans who follow this path tend to be far more aware of the delicate web that interweaves the lives of every person and thus move within that web accordingly. They're usually deeply insightful, friendly, loving people and excellent friends and parents. Mysterious and strong, as well, they are often the protectors of their friends and family as well as the moral compass for their friends and loved ones.
A PROPHET OF PEACE, FOR OUR TIME!
Michael Franti and Spearhead!
I am a SPEARIT FOREVER!
I have been a vocalist and backup singer for a folk/rock band and have played and experimented with the flute, the recorder, the xylophone, guitar, drums and percussion. Music is my first love, it would be impossible for me to list all the genres that I prefer, I like EVERYTHING from ALTERNATIVE to ZYDECO! I come from a musical family and grew up in a radio station that my father owned. He was a jazz musician and played the xylophone and my mother was a vocalist. My brother and nephew are drummers, my niece is currently exploring her love of music and buying an electronic violin soon. I LOVE intricate harmonies, opportunities to show off my vocal range and I LOVE Pagan/Witchy Chants. I enjoy listening to female vocalists and songwriters such as Alicia Keys, Chaka Khan, Patti Austin and so many more. I also love screaming rock guitar! I play drums and I LOVE DRUM CIRCLES! I would love to buy a DULCIMER and learn how to play it. Come back here often to check out the new songs I put on this page! I change them often, I am always obsessed with new music! I AM A RADIO JUNKIE AND CONTINUALLY FLIP THE STATION AND SING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS WHILE DRIVING (not unlike Oprah's best friend)! This is extremely annoying to anyone that gets in a car with me behind the wheel. Singing loudly keeps me awake! I would also like to get DRUM CIRCLES started in the East Pasco County, Zephyrhills, Dade City, Wesley Chapel areas. We need a location to do this and enough interested people. Contact me if your interested in helping to get this going!
Movies
The Red Violin, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Wizard of Oz, West Side Story, Mists of Avalon, Witches of Eastwick, Practical Magick, Sound of Music, Ben-Hur, Cleopatra, Gone With the Wind, Troy, Braveheart, Gladiator, Ceasar, Ben-Hur, Jackie Brown, Moonstruck, The Craft, Chocolat, Do the Right Thing, Dances with Wolves, The Gift, Last of the Mohicans, Geronimo, Fried Green Tomatoes, Earth Girls are Easy, Steel Magnolias, Winged Migration, Patch Adams, anything Shakespeare!
Television
Firstly, I want to say that most TV is simply SUBLIMINAL ADVERTISING!!! Like Michael Franti and Gil Scott Heron, I believe that TELEVISION is the DRUG OF THE NATION and is mostly propaganda as the programming and stations are owned and controlled by a handful of people that work in tandem with the corporations. I would much rather listen to music, read a book or read something edifying online during my down time. (Watch the videos below and you will get a good idea on this concept!) If you have cable or satellite, remember, others can "see" what you are watching! Analog signals will not exist in a few years, so soon TV's WITHOUT cable or satellite service will be obsolete as you will not be able to get a signal with the new TVs that are coming out and without being connected to a service of some sort. Time to learn Morse Code to be able to spread the news.
There are a few programs I will watch on occasion and only when I have the time and the inclination, most of them have to do with news, education and comedy and a few random drama programs. Some of these are: CSI, Medium, Ghost Whisperer, Late Night Comedy, News Programs and PBS! Jon Stewart and the Daily Show, Letterman, Conan, Leno (depends on what guests are on), The Colbert Report, Will and Grace, Seinfeld, News Magazines such as 20/20, the View, Martha Stewart, Boxing, Saturday Night Live, Mad TV, Rachel Ray, Oprah, ER, Cold Case, Law and Order, AMERICAN IDOL, Rock Star, Survivor Man and SURVIVOR. I LOVE the gardening, cooking and How-To programs on educational TV and let's not forget anything about music, history, cultural topics or travel!

Ozzie Osbourne and Black Sabbath's song, WAR PIGS from 37 years ago, and the lyrics still apply today. The war footage in this clip is recent. I support the troops and I am a veteran and the widow of a military man. But, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! STOP THE WAR AND BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW!
People who are into peace, justice and social consciousness. Elevated souls such as Bhuddha, Ghandi, Princess Di, Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa, John Lennon, Bob Marley, the Kennedys and some living ones too, such as Arundhati Roy, Maya Angelou, Sister Helen Prejean, Medea Benjamin, Amy Goodman, Greg Palast, sites like Truthout, Indymedia and Buzzflash and all of their stringers, writers and editors, Michael Franti, Dennis and Elizabeth Kucinich, ANYONE DOING GOOD IN THE WORLD AND SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER, etc.
"Mr. Speaker, we make war with such certainty, yet we are befuddled how to create peace. This paradox requires reflection, if we are to survive. Making and endorsing war demands a secret love of death, a fearful desire to embrace annihilation. Creating peace requires the mirror of compassion -- putting ourselves in the other person's place, in all their suffering, with all their hopes -- acting from our heart's capacity for love, not fear. The fight against terrorism in the 21st century is beginning to have the feel of the fight against communism in the 20th century: Conjuring of enemies, scapegoating and wanton destruction. Our war on terror has become a war of errors as we blindly exercise our capacity for war making. We have not yet begun to explore our capacity for peacemaking, so we are reduced to a predatory voyeurism: creating war, watching war, being aghast at war, impotent to stop ourselves. We are the most powerful nation, but even we do not have to power to reserve for ourselves, or to grant to our allies, an exemption from the laws of cause and effect. The fate of the world lies in the balance at this time. Until we consciously choose peace over war, life over death, love over hate -- the balance is tipping toward mutually assured destruction. Please... let us reconsider our actions."
US Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio)
Speech to the House of Representatives, July 18, 2006
"Justice is not a flexible tool.
Unless we all do our part to ensure that justice is applied equally
to all human beings, we are a party to its abuse.
We must stand together to protect the rights of others." Leonard Peltier
"All violence is terrorism!"
"Love is the action of soul satisfaction!"
"You can bomb the world to pieces, but you can't bomb it into PEACE!"

Hail and Welcome! I live in Zephyrhills, Florida, just north of Tampa Bay. I am the only professional Tarot and Astrology Consultant in the East Pasco County area. For Tarot and Astrology Readings in Zephyrhills, Tampa Bay and the surrounding environs, you can email me or INSTANT MESSAGE me on Yahoo Instant Messenger under the nic, "Tarotlaydee."
YES, I DO ONLINE READINGS! This is as easy as ONE, TWO, THREE! All you need to do is submit payment to PayPal and the entire reading can be done over the phone, emailed directly to your INBOX or conducted on Yahoo Instant Messenger.
I am a legal minister and ordained through the Universal Life Church and the Fellowship of Isis. I offer "Rites of Passage" services and rituals for the local community. These include Handfastings (marriage), Wiccanings, House Blessings, Womanings, Crossing Over Ceremonies and other life and spiritual celebrations.

You can see a description of the SERVICES that I offer right here: TAROTLAYDEE'S TAROT AND ASTROLOGY SERVICES!
In addition to my work as a Tarot Scholar and Astrology Consultant, I am a PEACE and COMMUNITY ACTIVIST and I also work as a licensed healthcare professional, do Reiki, and Healing Touch.
I am also an End of Life or Death Doula. Witches believe that all of life exists within a Cyclical Circle, kind of like "HAKUNA MATATA," the expression from the film "The Lion King." BIRTH, LIFE, DEATH and REBIRTH is the progression that keeps spinning around! My work often takes me to the dying person's bedside and I believe that this is the work that the Goddess wants me to excel at. I work as a licensed CNA and have worked with many HOSPICE cases. If you are interested in these services or respite care for your loved one, just contact me about availability and costs. I just put together a BLOG that explains the work that I do and some thoughts on death and the dying. You can see the blog at the following link! End of Life Doula at BLOGSPOT!
In my spare time (what little bit I have), I appreciate the Arts, Music and Film. I spend a lot of my time writing, reading, camping (when I can), being outdoors, swimming, yoga, caring for my animals and nature. I love the news, current affairs and politics and intelligent comedy, news programs, NPR, Community Radio, and boxing on TV. I am a proud military veteran of Air Force Intelligence. I now do what I can to promote peace. War is not the answer. I listen to music of all kinds, sing and play percussion and a little guitar (would like to learn the Dulcimer), and hand drumming. My mate and I are currently residing in Zephyrhills, Florida, just north of Tampa, the home of our state's famous SPRING WATERS and very close to the headwaters of the Hillsborough River. We are also exploring the possibility of eventually living in an INTENTIONAL COMMUNITY, not sure where. We love to gourmet cook, swim, play with our fur and scale children and watch good movies when we are at home.
On the spiritual side, I am a CRONE, an Isian, Green, Womanspirit, Reclaiming Tradition Witch that honours the Great Mother Goddess Isis in all of Her manifestations (especially as HEALER and the Goddess of the Green Plants). I enjoy doing MAGICK (the witchy kind, hence the word is spelled with a "K"), communing with nature, being out in the woods or my garden, learning to grow food, herbs and ornamentals, especially succulents and cacti and I am learning about container gardening. I love the water and I am currently focusing on WATER MAGICK. It is funny that I would end up in Zephyrhills, the home of our state's spring waters that are bottled and sent all over the world! I facilitate a circle in East Pasco County, for more info, see us on our Yahoo Group. Click on the logo below.
