Thoughs on being a Pagan

This is the essential practice for all pagans and shamanic practitioners.
The ability to listen to the environment around you remove the extraneous madness of the human race and tune into the web of life.
That listening has to extend and extend over your time as a conscious incarnate being. To perceive the voices of the stars and the nature of the Cosmos we are part off. Sciences is not our enemy it is the child that the pagans of all our ancestry have given birth to.
As with all parents they want their child to excel what they have achieved.
They also want them to respect their elders This we know is not always possible  especially if the elders do not respect them selves and live up to their own standards and expectations.
   

Chose your Deities wisely learn what they stand for be as carefully about them as you would be about choosing loyal friends.
A good yardstick is if you would not choose them as friends then they are not a force you should be getting involved with.
In the case of Yemaye here possessing this priestess
My current relationship with her is because I want to do what I can to repair her damaged oceans. and make apologies for the ignorance of my race in its so far unending of corruption and pollution it poisons them with.    



Have wisdom in the alliances you make for they often have consequences far beyond your own personal sphere

Bigotry is not an option.
We are all human beings and we come in all sorts, shapes, sizes, colors, ethnic, religious , cultural, sexual relationships, political beliefs. the list is really endless. We are the multi-verses we chose to create for our selves for as long as our specific consciousness remains in tact or if you prefer for as long as God wills it. Though from a personal point of view god and the cosmos are the same thing !

 

 Photos of my personal spiritual meditation objects and cultural celebration fetishes from my home. these are good for centering the mind and helping channel energies 

 

Some of my recent drawing meditations on the nature of the Orisha`s
The urge to create is often driven by the subconscious. It is also the earliest way the shamanic peoples channeled the spirit of the Cosmos, the God, the Goddess, gained power over the animals and dreamed the world into being .
 We all must stay mindful of our animal ancestry. An seek the path to true enlightenment and perfection of creations Nobel destiny. We must not be drawn into our own cycle of self destruction and self mutilation that our current system of world organization is leading us to.
Our destiny is to return to the stars from which we are made this our true purpose. We are the eyes, ears, hands, feet, thoughts and actions of the creation. we are here to experience and interpreter the reality of creation       

Why the islands of ther hyperborians will prevale agaist the mononthiest patriachy

I have re read my Koran and it says that hansom men should wear a  niqab also as any one who is good looking should according to the Koran be modest and cover their beauty so as not to incite the rest of us ugly folk to passion now would that not be a great world to live in LOL.
as A gay m,an in East London then I think all Muslim young men should wear one as most of them are far to pretty  to be aloud out not covered .

Of course the problem for us aboriginal Celtic type folk here in the UK is we are and all ways have been about passion and lust the Albion way.We even went to war naked and painted blue
Before we where invaded by the Romans, the Saxons, the Danes, the French, and the rest of the invaders we are still here but its in the likes of  Irish nationalism, Welsh nationalism, Scottish nationalism. Cornish nationalism. We see the real British culture showing through.
The idea of English culture effectively started with a Saxon King Alfred  whose family had invaded and driven out the native people to the corners of the main island and across the Irish sea.

All  the above people of the united kingdom fought originally naked and addressed sexuality as a sacrament given by the gods. The naked  beauty of the human form was seen as a mark of piety and modesty. An you had to be a pretty healthy young man or woman to paint your body blue and wear nothing but a belt shoes and a clock carry a shield and sword in this cold climate it is in effect the the origins of the colours of our untied national war flag the red white and blue of our union jack.  the red is our blood the white the colour of our skin the blue the woad to hide the blue of the cold.

Or as the last strike for independence here in the British isles had it in seen in the lyrics of a song by the "Men They Could not Hang" had it 
 I am a member of the council of the naval mutiny
And no traitor to my conscience having done my sworn duty
These are my last words before the scaffold and I charge you all to hear
How a wretched British sailor became a citizen mutineer
Pressed into service to carry powder I was loyal to the crack of the whip
It I starved on the streets of Bristol, I starved worse on a British ship
Red is the colour of the new republic
Blue is the colour of the sea
White is the colour of my innocence
Not surrender to your mercy
I was woken from my misery by the words of Thomas Paine
On my barren soil they fell like the sweetest drops of rain
Red is the colour of the new republic
Blue is the colour of the sea
While is the colour of my innocence
Not surrender to your mercy
So in the spring of the year we took the fleet
Every cask and cannon and compass sheet
And we flew a Jacobean flag to give us heart
While Pitt stood helpless we were waiting for Bonaparte
Red is the colour of the new republic
Blue is the colour of the sea
White is the colour of my innocence
Not surrender to your mercy
All you soldiers, all you sailors, all you labourers of the land
All you beggars, all you builders, all you come here to watch me hang
To the masters we are the rabble, we are the 'swinish multitude'
But we can re-arrange the colours of the red and the white and the blue
Red is the colour of the new republic
Blue is the colour of the sea
White is the colour of my innocence
Not surrender to your mercy
Red is the colour of the new republic
Blue is the colour of the sea
White is the colour of my innocence
Not surrender to your mercy

 Dress has always been seen as ostentation was impiety in fact possibly blasphemous to God, gods or to  the Goddess , goddesses. So at the root of all this is the complete opposition of The monotheist  Abraham traditions to that of the the Aboriginal peoples and culture of the British islands who at heart are pagan,republican, anarchists, collectivist, matriarchal supporting individualists who refuse to be obliterated by the waves of culture that have washed over us for the last 12,000 years. We have have always here in the island`s off main land Europe by nature used sex and interracial breeding to maintain our existences and continue our traditions and culture  here in the united kingdom. Hence our true blood line is through the female descendants most of use of lower birth know our mother not who our father was it is for this reason the the right of the senior ruled in the feudal baronies the master gave you a wife and his child as your first to raise for him. That`s how the baron commanded loyalty. So the true underclass and the true culture of our ethnicity was and is carried by our loyalty to our mother and her ancestors not of  our father as he is likely to be the invading oppressor. That is why we have always been greater under a queen rather than a king. and much as it pains me to say it under a female PRIME-minister Margret Thacher good or bad struck a chord in the native psychic to which we all responded.here in the British isles  

MONOTHEISM AND PATRIARCHAL religions and culture are  tolerated  here precisely because we have at our roots a truly matriarchal root culture    

SCOTLAND AND INDEPENDANCE

The big question is not the independence of the nation that is up to the people of Scotland that at least has all ready been decided .  I have concerns about what the Scottish diaspora will think about it as they not to be given a vote neither are they to know what the status of their British passports will be if the vote is yes!.  As Scots across the world wont get a vote and those of us who have part Scottish ancestor wont get a vot either.

So now we move on to the position with regards to Europe we joined as the united Kingdom. If Scotland becomes independent we are no longer the United Kingdom so the body that the European treaty`s  where signed by now no longer exists . There for it is possible that the union may decide that we need to renegotiate the terms of our membership. If that's the case we may have to accept the euro as our currency if we decide to stay in regardless of if you are in Scotland or in England.

The situation in regards to membership of NATO, the make up of our Army`s, Navy`s or our Air force`s is called into Question. Will Scottish members of the armed forces be asked to chose which country they serve?

The royal household if the Monarch remains the ruler of the two kingdoms how will the royal household be funded and what will change. Will Charles when he ascends the throne have top have two coronations one London one in Scone palace. Wales will not come into it he was crowned prince of wales ruler of the principality  by his mother.

The money question  pound, euro,or a return to the bawbee`s  that was the name of the last independent currency the was minted in Scotland in the 1500`. Either way it seems all of the main party's south of the border have agreed that if the vote is yes then the bank of England will not be underwriting the Scottish economy any more ,so if they are using the pound it will be the Scottish pound, not the English pound. That means that  the value may not be the same ! So how many Scottish pounds to the English pound may become a vexing question for people crossing the boarder.

The question of passports starts to raise its head  and how we will get to change who is entitled to hold which passport. Will Scottish people working in the rest of the United Kingdom after a yes vote become migrant workers ? The currently debate about European workers taking jobs may well focus on  jobs held by Scottish workers  as much as on other Europeans.

To be honest if the people of Scotland vote yes to independence it will be a big change for any one who holds a British passport. Be they of what ever nationality they claim as their birthright. A huge number of things we currently take as read and normal will have to be renegotiated and decided all over again so many things will change as people may no longer feel the same way as they did 500 years ago !  

The continuing cause of flooding in the uk.

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/13/flooding-public-spending-britain-europe-policies-homes?CMP=ema_1364

The link above is top a guardian article on the reasons for the flooding and I could not have put it better my self its part of the reason I have all ways been a supporter of the practice of perma culture you only have to see the difference between my garden with trees and the garden next door with a lawn to know that it makes a difference when we have rain like we have had in London over this two months. 

Just in case you don't want to read the whole of the article have copied this bit over. I do not all ways agree with George Monbiot but in this case I believe he is correct in his analysis of the situation.
I also believe that the goverment has a hidden agenda with regards to this flood deference. In that the west of London has been drowned to save the city and the money making heart of the country.
Just as the south west has been left to look after its self though I suspect that it has been done to save Bristol as the major money making city in that part of the country. 
I do not think this will play well for any political party at the next UK elections of course those may not include Scotland if they vote yes to independence  
The story begins with a group of visionary farmers at Pontbren, in the headwaters of Britain's longest river, the Severn. In the 1990s they realised that the usual hill-farming strategy – loading the land with more and bigger sheep, grubbing up the trees and hedges, digging more drains – wasn't working. It made no economic sense, the animals had nowhere to shelter, and the farmers were breaking their backs to wreck their own land.
So they devised something beautiful. They began planting shelter belts of trees along the contours. They stopped draining the wettest ground and built ponds to catch the water instead. They cut and chipped some of the wood they grew to make bedding for their animals, which meant that they no longer spent a fortune buying straw. Then they used the composted bedding, in a perfect closed loop, to cultivate more trees.
One day a government consultant was walking over their fields during a rainstorm. He noticed something that fascinated him. The water flashing off the land suddenly disappeared when it reached the belts of trees the farmers had planted. This prompted a major research programme, which produced the following astonishing results: water sinks into the soil under trees at 67 times the rate at which it sinks into the soil under grass. The roots of the trees provide channels down which the water flows, deep into the ground. The soil there becomes a sponge, a reservoir which sucks up water and then releases it slowly. In the pastures, by contrast, the small sharp hooves of the sheep puddle the ground, making it almost impermeable, a hard pan off which the rain gushes.

Why Davos is a waste of time

 Thew Economic forum at Davos represents no one but the rich and the industrialists of the world the politicians are their cap in hand at their beckoning to pay lip services to the world business community `s edicts. It has no democratic mandate from any nation let alone any democratic world context. For the last 44 years it has been the unaccountable ruler of the world markets Disguising its operations behind Blink and  luxury of the Swiss Alps. It is no wonder that the bulk of the people of this planet feel disenfranchised and without any voice and resort to terrorism, rioting and civil disobedience! It is time the elected representatives of the people across the world speak for the people and stopped this sort of sucking up to the rich.

Here are few comments   

here a bit drawn from

Davos Draws Social Media Scrutiny

By CHRISTINE HAUSER

 

It’s January, and for some of the movers and shakers in business and banking, that means it’s time to meet with other members of the global elite at an Alpine ski resort in Switzerland.

But even before it starts, the World Economic Forum — which gets rolling Wednesday, after an opening ceremony on Tuesday, and runs through Jan. 25 in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland — is being scrutinized on social media with an especially sharp eye on one of this year’s themes: economic inequality.

Some of the online discussion focused on how few delegates are women — only 15 percent of the more than 2,500 participants attending — and whether the profile of the attendees adequately represented the world.

 In a series of remarks on Twitter, Kumi Naidoo, the executive director of Greenpeace, suggested the gathering was no more than an exercise in self-preservation, and he linked to a 2011 article by Mr. Sorkin that laid out the costs of attending the forum, which reaches about $70,000 for membership and an attendance ticket.

Lets face facts Davos is just a big jolly for the unelected rich and powerful to have a party at our expense while they decide how they are going to bleed us dry this year. A better Idea  would be if the world economic forum was a meeting of the workers of the world to make suggestion to the politicians on how the world should be run. It would at least be more democratic than it currently is.
