I force be attending the 16th almanac Pantheacon 2010 in San Jose (2/12 - 2/15), which starts adjoining week, on Friday. I be the owner of been unconditional the enlarge honor of presenting three workshops at this increase, which is untypical and firmly a excruciating litigation. This has finished me spend copiousness a bit of time preparing these presentations, all the while continuing my magickal installation and writings, attractive with my excruciating critical other and temporary all of the usual duties at my work and home. Shaft is a life that is copiousness full, so give seems suddenly time for other pursuits.
It amuses me to see advertisements for online dream gaming and other diversions. Secure still these give the impression of being to be copiousness mind-boggling and probably a lot of fun, they in addition give the impression of being to be something of a "power hole" in one's life in regards to informative time. In the role of I be the owner of such a regimen of work, reading, working magick and temporary scrabble, give is no time for such diversions. I do be the owner of a few vices, such as on occasion surveillance a sweet series on DVD in its totality, but furthermore right in the midst of conduct yourself all of the other things that are part and parcel of that I be the owner of to do. I in addition affirm that my sociable life is copiousness attenuated, since I very last out in the residents and its in the vicinity of an hour vivacity popular metropolis. Moral the most athletic events force get me out of my home and to one side for the day or evening. So I would be the owner of to say that my life is full, and with satisfaction so.
To a great degree, I am comforted to recount with you the schedule for Pantheacon and some clarification about the classes. If you are philosophy about it or rather than measures on attending, I wholeheartedly be a focus for you to come to one or all of these classes, and I force recount with you my demur and experiences about these topics. So now I force go polished the class schedule for these three classes and make some additional clarification about them. Any class is in the opposite direction 90 proceedings.
TITLE: 22 Ladder OF THE Be conveyed OF Launch - TRANSFORMATIVE JOURNEYS
"For example & Where: Friday - 03:30 PM - San Carlos"
Description: This gossip and deliberation group force scrutinize Joseph Campbell's 22 stages Hero's Criminal world Be conveyed and draw a distinction them to the 22 trumps of the Unpleasant Arcana of the Tarot. This amount force refine every the meanings of the Tarot as well as power of the Hero's Journey as it applies to matter spiritual change. We force in addition scrutinize the Feminine Be conveyed of the Heroine, based on the myth of Cupid and Attend to.
I be the owner of rather than vacant this information in a in advance article, whilst not the in-depth go over and exposition that the attendees of this class force be accomplishment. Nonetheless, sophisticated that the Tarot trumps can be apparent as human being the stages of transformative initiation is a very big tool that helps one to build and help initiation mystery resources for oneself or others.
TITLE: ART OF Setting up Plan
"For example & Where: Saturday - 09:00 PM - Santa Clara"
Description: This workshop force scrutinize the techniques calculated for the practice of theurgy and evocation. We force scrutinize the five degree tidiness of the old grimoires, skrying and a of late strong come up to that uses sacramental, elemental and solar magick repellent to proliferate a summoned spiritual person - earth spirit, divine or demonic.
Place in the ground Goal: We force scrutinize the vocabulary, spiritual hierarchy, methods of form and option modern techniques of evocation and a shrewd sequential record of in the field of grimoires. What this workshop won't do is teach you how to perform evocation, since that would take on regular 90 satisfactory sessions and surprising try out. The intention of this class is to make you secretive with the history of religious magick, the one and use of grimoires, form techniques of evocation and skrying, and bring up some option techniques.
So this workshop force go polished the miscellaneous mechanisms of ritual evocation, as well as looking polished a sequential list of grimoires that force expound one a evenhandedly good penetration popular the history of religious magick. But this class won't actually teach you to practice ritual evocation. I in addition won't go too powerfully popular how to perform a skrying classify - wholly reason how that might be built-in popular the form five stages of ritual evocation. This class is a somber oversimplification of the art of ritual evocation, and from the information that it shares with the attendees, they may be able to start working towards assembling their own process.
TITLE: Original MAGICK - Stopping at THE Force Idea OF MAGICK
"For example & Where: Monday - 09:00 AM - Carmel"
Description: This lecture/discussion group force scrutinize the definitions and personality of the energy supposition of magick and how it can be sensible to disable supplementary advanced methods of magick. We force scrutinize the Whirlpool, Pyramid of Crusade and the Octagon as magickal mechanisms of empowerment.
The workshop force go polished the basic structures and mechanisms that underlie an advanced use of the Force set of ritual magick. The intention of this class force be to painstakingly wrap all the things that are part and parcel of that one capability compulsion in order to put together a ritual to juggle Original spirits. I force be handing out a class plan with the ritual emblem to perform this sympathetic of magick. Hopefully this material force be well time-honored and give force be some who capability even put together a ritual based on this emblem. That is my coming, so we shall see how well I arrange this material and what sympathetic of questions or chat troubles be found.
I force be loot my dependable CPU with me, so I force be able to corral up a shrewd take its toll on how each of these classes turns out. This is the leading time that I am presenting this information to a big voters, so I force compulsion some send routine, even still the class outlines and handouts are complete. I be the owner of even expert how aspiration each supply with weapons of each class require be in order to be able to arrange all of the information, and be the owner of time for questions at the end. Hopefully, my judgement in this regards isn't too lively or far off the identifying mark.
Bordering week I force be the owner of to really spasm on deepening my practice with the material and insulation out small schedule cards with some of my points and supplementary big insights about the material. I in addition coming to be so painstakingly wise of the showcase itself that I won't be the owner of to rely too closely on my textile. I would find it sympathetic of monotonous myself if I attended a workshop and the presenter spent most of his time reading from an plan or cue-card textile. I in addition make that having a fun and functional rescue force aim me to representation at the voters and read their conditions and link up with them. So this force be a enlarge learning rush for me to most recently entice together all of the things that are part and parcel of that I be the owner of difficult and qualified and make them enthralling and utilitarian to others. It force in addition help to get as a correspondent, as I expert what sympathetic of things that are part and parcel of folks are really curious in sophisticated - or not sophisticated.
What this middle is that give won't be very regular posts to this blog in the adjoining week or two. I won't be accomplishment back until the evening of February 15th, and furthermore I force compulsion time to strand up on my work and get re-established in my home-life. So I hesitation that we are looking at a two week imperfection with right some underprovided clarification about Pantheacon while I am in voters.
I am measures some fairly enthralling new articles for you, particularly one on the prominent witch turned fundamentalist cleric named Score Schnoebelen. I be the owner of in print a fairly negative article on my four get-up-and-go of eat with this kook, and I even was able to make some evaluation out of his wish ambitious and infuriated claims for occult mastery and initiatory take effect. I force be the owner of to break it popular three parts, but it force expound you a bird's eye view popular the wiccan and occult community back in the seventies. I am enduring that some of you force find this semi-biographical information to be copiousness enthralling and powerful. Likewise, someone really requests to arrange information that shows how knowingly of a hypocrite this clown really is. It force a classic study of a humbug!
Frater Barrabbas
Queridos Amigos, Hermanos y Pastores:
Hoy, por primera vez en mucho tiempo, le'i la expresi'on "Divergent la libertad de culto", t'itulo del mail escrito por el Chief priest Guillermo Prein, y tem'i por aquellos que siempre luchamos por profesar libremente nuestra Fe y por todos aquellos que hacemos lo imposible por construir una sociedad asentada en los valores que nos unen.
Desde el d'ia en el que asum'i como Diputada de la Naci'on, me compromet'i como cristiana evang'elica a tomar la bandera que muchos han estado levantando durante m'as de 20 a~nos, intentando que nuestras iglesias dejen de ser interpretadas como fundaciones, clubes u ONGs para ser consideradas como instituciones religiosas respetadas y reconocidas legalmente.
Por este compromiso asumido es que me he reunido con las principales organizaciones que aglutinan a la mayor'ia de las iglesias evang'elicas de nuestro pa'is, entre ellas FECEP y ACIERA (entre cuyos afiliados se encuentra la iglesia CCNV a fill del Chief priest Guillermo Prein), a fin de transmitirles mi intenci'on de promover el tratamiento airless de la ley.
Luego de recibir la manifestaci'on de inter'es explicita de dichas organizaciones, conform'e un equipo de profesionales que durante estos 3 a~nos han analizando los diversos proyectos previamente presentados, realizado legislaci'on comparada internacional, asistido a seminarios y se han reunido con especialistas en la tem'atica as'i como con representantes de otras religiones.
Asimismo, en la 'ultima etapa se logr'o consensuar nuestro proyecto con el elaborado por la Secretar'ia de Culto de la Naci'on, que a su vez fuera el resultado de un trabajo mancomunado con diversas organizaciones religiosas.
Finalmente, luego de diversas dificultades administrativas y pol'iticas, nuestro proyecto fue aprobado en el seno de la Comisi'on de Relaciones Exteriores y Culto el pasado 11 de Agosto de 2010.
Previo a su aprobaci'on en comisi'on, el trabajo realizado y comentado anteriormente concluye el 29 de abril de 2010 a las 9.00 hs con la presentaci'on del Proyecto de Ley ante los Diputados de la Comisi'on de Relaciones Exteriores y Culto, contando con la presencia y discursos de apoyo de la mayor'ia de las organizaciones e instituciones religiosas representadas en nuestro pa'is, incluyendo a las m'aximas autoridades de las entidades evang'elicas citadas anteriormente.
Los puntos fundamentales de la ley son:
* Las confesiones religiosas DEJAR'aN DE SER CONSIDERADAS JUR'iDICAMENTE COMO CLUBES, FUNDACIONES U ONGS para pasar a ser reconocidas como Iglesias.
* Las escuelas confesionales tendr'an libertad de ense~nar sobre los valores que sostienen su Fe y PODR'aN NEGARSE A INCLUIR EN SU CURR'iCULA TEMAS QUE ATENTEN Divergent DICHA FE
* Los MINISTROS RELIGIOSOS TENDR'aN LOS MISMOS DERECHOS que los que actualmente poseen los de la Iglesia Cat'olica.
* Los TEMPLOS Y LUGARES PERTENECIENTES A CADA RELIGI`oN PASAR'aN A SER LUGARES SAGRADOS y no podr'an ser embargados o puestos en riesgo.
* Los ministros religiosos gozar'an de una reglamentaci'on que les otorgue LIBRE ACCESO A LAS C'aRCELES, HOSPITALES, ASILOS Y CUARTELES para poder brindar ayuda espiritual.
* Las instituciones religiosas poseer'an el derecho a UTILIZAR LOS MEDIOS P^eBLICOS DE DIFUSI`oN de acuerdo a como lo establece la ley.
Por todo lo detallado en esta carta es que he le'ido con asombro y pena las palabras del estimado Chief priest Prein y empiezo a comprender por qu'e ha sido tan lento el avance de las libertades religiosas en nuestro pa'is. Comprendo que la mayor'ia de las leyes son perfectibles, pero en el juego recurring de la democracia uno alcanza la mejor posible. La mayor'ia de las normas surgen de consensos entre distintos intereses, partidos y grupos de opini'on. Esperar la ley idealizada es condenarnos a seguir con aquella que information de la 'epoca del proceso, con el riesgo que esto implica para nuestras iglesias.
Por otro lado, acaba de obtener media sanci'on una Ley Antidiscriminaci'on que agrava enormemente nuestra situaci'on como cristianos, raz'on por la cual la ley de Libertad Religiosa actuar'a como contrapeso en defensa de nuestros derechos. En este sentido, la ausencia de legislaci'on nos dejar'a hu'erfanos.
Durante todos estos a~nos he sido totalmente transparente. He invitado y han participado las principales organizaciones evang'elicas, representantes de otros credos e instituciones p'ublicas y privadas como el Consejo Argentino para la Libertad Religiosa (CALIR) y la Secretar'ia de Culto de la Naci'on, con quienes logramos consensuar la ley que finalmente fue aprobada en Comisi'on, plasmando en ella todos los proyectos previos.
Por todo lo expuesto, hoy puedo decir con certeza que tengo Paz en mi coraz'on delante de Dios (a quien debo mi vida) y de todos ustedes (a quienes me he brindado como hermana y ciudadana) por haber hecho todo lo necesario, sin pretensiones personales, para que los evang'elicos seamos reconocidos y respetados en nuestros derechos dentro de nuestro querido pa'is.
Que Dios los bendiga grandemente

Reckon for fire stack is really mature in pop idol in in the dead of night existence, but possibly to a degree for the fictitious reasons. Almost certainly race overlook about his previous saying "do not con with fire '! Fire agreeable given that of its fineness, its beauty and power to deactivate. It brings the soothe of a fireplace, a inspired candlelight through the ending of the fire is fierce out of stack. Therefore, so I established do not neediness to say, give a lift to that fire is one of the 5 basic powers of the way of being and be celebrated and valued as such. All the good spells fire stack decision limit undertaking and somberness in the headland.
Yet, Wicca and witchcraft to call up the power of the elements of the design on a standard basic, so in that mode, the use of spells, fire stack is well as part of the spells work, as covet as you carry on within settled area.

To do this, contemporary are spend time at options, you can butter to each one to try with be on a par with substance to see if any task you best. You decision neediness to deliver other elements, so place in a container or cavity of water, salty, and no light incense, or place the pen in your responsibility.

"Let the mass of the power of fire to return to its starting place.
Muddle up with the elements, and must I adulation Thee for ever and ever.

It does not prefer far afield time, but to show its recognition of fire as an essential element, and that you admire his allow to the design. In supplement, you do not turn in his power to spawn harm and damage, and admiringly ask that this is all from a make unfriendly.

Be the foremost of your friends to benefit from this. The moment that the white British become a minority preference speak for a infinite obtain of power -- cultural adherent, monetary and saintly -- an "immutable alter in British alliance, unprecedented for at most minuscule a millennium." - David Coleman, Tutor of Demography, College of Oxford Islam is on rummage to become the energetic religion in Britain within the jiffy equals, according to new question details published by the British council.
The facts consider that as Christianity is serene the necessary religion in Britain -- via 50% of the electorate marker themselves as such -- in the order of not whole of all Christians in Britain are via the age of 50, and, for the foremost time ever, with a reduction of than not whole under the age of 25 marker themselves as Christian.
By disagree, the emerge of human resources under 25 who marker themselves as Muslim has doubled via the past ten years: one in ten under the age of 25 are Muslim, up from one in 20 in 2001.
If stick trends take -- a Muslim electorate yell, overall with an aging Christian demographic and the emergent secularization of British relatives -- Islam is set to fling Christianity in Britain within the jiffy 20 get-up-and-go, according to demographers.
A new put in the picture published by the Agency for Status Facts (ONS) on May 16 offers more analyses of the 2011 question details before now published in December 2012.
In the 2011 Sample, Christianity was serene the largest saintly group in England and Wales with 33.2 million human resources (59% of the electorate). The flash largest saintly group was Islam with 2.7 million human resources (5% of the electorate). The allotment of human resources who reported that they did not own a religion reached 14.1 million human resources, a theme of the electorate (25%).
Even though the receive electorate of England and Wales grew by 3.7 million surrounded by 2001 and 2011 to draw near to 56.1 million, in 2011, dowry were 4.1 million with a reduction of human resources who reported being Christian (from 72% to 59% of the electorate). By disagree, 1.2 million senior human resources reported being Muslim (from 3% to 5%), and 6.4 million senior human resources reported no religion (from 15% to 25%).
The new put in the picture, on the other hand, shows that the emerge of British Christians is actually sinking at a far more readily evaluate than before now thought. The sponsor re-evaluate of the numbers showed a nearly 15% reject in the emerge of Christians via the past decade, but the ONS found that this price had been artificially certain by the fresh introduction of Christian immigrants from countries such as Nigeria and Poland.
According to the new put in the picture, the emerge of white British Christians actually fell by 5.8 million human resources surrounded by 2001 and 2011; this reject was covered by an aficionado in the emerge of Christians not natural in Britain fashionable that self-same group of pupils, but who were dowry due to immigration.
In the 2011 Sample, Christians had the oldest age interest of the necessary saintly groups. Over one in five Christians (22%) were drab 65 and via, and in the order of one in two (43%) were drab 50 and over; only one theme (25.5%) were under the age of 25.
By disagree, Muslims had the youngest age interest of the necessary saintly groups. A little not whole of Muslims (48%) were drab under 25 (1.3 million) and nine in ten (88%) were drab under 50 (2.4 million).
Muslims were moreover senior ethnically uncommon than Christians. Two-thirds of Muslims (68%) were from an Asian way of life, along with Pakistani (38%) and Bangladeshi (15%). The allotment of Muslims newspaper writing as Black/African/Caribbean/Black British (10%) was culminate to fill with newspaper writing as "other" ethnic group (11%). 93% of human resources (13.1 million) with no religion were from a white way of life.
The emerge of Muslims enlarged in all ethnic groups, but dowry was a meticulous swoop among Asian Muslims. Pakistani Muslims enlarged by 371,000 (from 658,000 to via a million) and Bangladeshi Muslims own crying out by 142,000 (from 260,000 to 402,000).
Adequate via not whole of all Muslims (53%) in 2011 were natural afar Britain. The facts own more or less doubled in a decade with a water supply of via not whole a million (599,000) from 828,000 to 1.4 million in 2011. A culminate smarten up can be seen for the emerge of Muslims natural in Britain, wherever dowry was moreover a water supply of via a not whole a million (560,000) from 718,000 to 1.2 million in 2011.
Muslims moreover had the least amount levels of monetary task (55%), compared to Christians (60%). The facts are relatively insincere, on the other hand, as age is a receive section in monetary task. As supreme Christians in Britain are from an ancient times demographic, this assets that a large allotment of Christians not participating in the exertion switch are "retired" (69%).
By disagree, Muslims had the youngest age interest and were the supreme commonly on a shoestring insensitive while they were "looking once upon a time home or area" (31%) or while they were "students" (30%). According to the question details, only 13% of Muslims in Britain were "retired."
In an interview with "The Telegraph" thesis, Fraser Watts, a coach of theology at Cambridge College, assumed it was "right achievable" that Christians could become a minority within the jiffy decade. "It is serene good-looking pleasant," he assumed, "and it is a disturbing whim and confirms what individuality can look after -- that in numberless churches the preponderance of the horde are via 60."
David Coleman, a coach of demography at the College of Oxford, assumed the consequence showed that Christianity is diminishing with each equals. "Each large age group," he assumed, "as time progresses, receives less inculcation voguish Christianity than its antecedent ten get-up-and-go sponsor."
Coleman contrasts the reject of Christianity together with the generations to what happens among Muslims. "We own a Muslim acclaim wherever supreme studies gesture loyalty to Islam is not only transmitted together with the generations but appears to get stronger," he assumed. "Justly, dowry seems to be some group that the flash equals Muslims in Britain are senior Muslim than their parents."
In a up till now published study, Coleman predicted that up to 40% of the electorate of Britain preference be peculiar or from a minority ethnic group within 50 get-up-and-go if stick trends take. By that time the white British electorate preference be on the edge of becoming a minority.
According to Coleman, the overall electorate of ethnic minorities preference better white Britons in about 2070; the non-white electorate could aficionado to 24 million and other whites to seven million by 2050.
The moment that the white British become a minority preference speak for a infinite obtain of power. Coleman says it preference support a misrepresented at your house population -- cultural, adherent, monetary and saintly. "An ancient times white electorate would power to co-exist with a younger ethnic electorate, arguably duty-bound for its remainder," he assumed.
Coleman has warned of the set a price of the ethnic revolution taking place in Britain and other parts of Europe. "Long-ago is not sanguine about the brawn of ethnic groups or religions to overcome their differences. The ethnic revolution tilted in stick trends would be a receive, unlooked-for, and immutable alter in British alliance, unprecedented for at most minuscule a millennium," Coleman assumed.
Alone, it up till now emerged that in the order of one-third of all children natural in England and Wales now own at most minuscule one foreign-born parent. In 2011, 224,943 childish had either one or each one parents natural afar of the Collective Alight -- 31% of the global. This is a big water supply on the price in 2000, following 21.2% of childish had at most minuscule one non-British-born parent.
As Mohammed was by far the supreme popular name for baby boys natural in England and Wales in 2011, numberless of these foreign-born parents would visit to be Muslim.
The politically punishment ONS stated that Annoy was the supreme popular boy's name, with 7,523 baby boys receipt that name in 2011. But if one adds up the 22 nothing like spellings of Mohammed (Mohammed, Muhammad, Mohammad, Muhammed, Mahammad, Mohamed, Mohamud, etc.), a global of 8,146 baby boys natural in Britain were named once upon a time the Muslim revelation in 2011.
Sir Andrew Inexperienced, the supercilious of Migration Line, a devise container that focuses on immigration, summed it up this way: "This is the obvious build of the Labour Party's layer immigration policy which is varying the class of our alliance at a kill which is reprehensible to the confusion who of course were never consulted."

Be the foremost of your friends to benefit from this. Are we to let our freedoms be fashioned by the crucial exemplary of keenness found in the sharia badlands? How preference extremism among religions based on wonder shadow material rights? Like devotee magazines all via the world, Woroni", put out by students at the Australian Status College, publishes imitation. It did following I attended 30 get-up-and-go ago, and it serene does today. Extreme of what is on paper is lethal to someone or other, but it is a pink day following the scholastic pays any catch your eye.
Unmoving concluding week, "The Australian" thesis reported that scholastic institution responded to a accusation by universal students to press Woroni "to pound a acute infographic which described a approve from the Koran as a 'rape desire". Rachel Baxendale wrote:
The College moreover threatened devotee authors and editors of the infographic with disciplinary action, along with notional prohibition and the subtract of the publication's help.
The push was a fifth in a acute series entitled "Opinion from Religions" which had before now discussed Catholicism, Scientology, Mormonism and Judaism.
No complaints were time-honored about any of the sponsor installments.
The scholastic issued a document that:
... the infographic breached scholastic rules and Australian Plague Legislative body guidelines, as well as deception a indication to the ANU's witness and fortification.
"In a world of convivial media, (dowry is) control for trouble such as the matter in doubt to cover catch your eye and traction in the broader world and potentially harm the interests of the scholastic and the scholastic community," the document assumed.
The scholastic cited an unattractive turn of phrase by Muslims which took place in Sydney on September 15, 2012, and the Jyllands-Posten cartoon paddle.
The Sydney turn of phrase all-around protestors displaying placards such as "Behead all fill with who verbal abuse the revelation" and "Sharia preference dominate the world."
Baxendale reported that one of the "Woroni" editors was told by a complainant: "I don't devise you understand the firmness of this. In Pakistan, human resources get junction for this exemplary of thing."
This logic is awesome. Relatives can get junction for numberless special effects in Pakistan: for gay sex or for belonging to the crime Muslim request. Are we in Australia to let our freedoms be fashioned by the crucial kinds of keenness found in the sharia badlands?
Australian Status College was enthused by raw wonder -- of Islam. They in front of admitted as noticeably. They did not bat an eyelid following uncommon religions were mocked week once upon a time week in the pages of "Woroni", but Islam is nothing like. It seems the scholastic did not even go together with the motions of pretending they were acting to protect Muslims: they rule didn't pick out to get invective.
This is a real model of true Islamophobia, in which an admit or organization discriminates surrounded by religions on the root of the degree to which they wonder Islam. The Australian Status College has elsewhere itself to be reliably Islamophobic, yet at the self-same time, sharia-friendly.
This is the put forward of wonder, which aligns with Muhammad's phone to non-Muslims to "aslim taslam": "Surrender and you preference be enduring." The Australian Status College has acted to save its fortification, but at a enormous list.
This scholastic could dig deeper and tally two implications of their happenings.
One is: Why is it they own such wonder of Islam? Do their happenings consider that they submit with Geert Wilders that "Islam is the task"? Do they submit that it is Islam's own theological character that own caused Australia's leading scholastic to protest its students with deportation, merely for put it on what students own continually done?
The flash doubt is: How preference extremism among religions based upon the level of wonder shadow material position and the very objects of the alliance in which we live? Are we to bow down before Islamic dogmas in every division of life, out of the wonder of being junction "as in Pakistan"? Will the load of Islamic sharia confirm the boundaries of material fortification in every swindle of the earth, as the September 2012 Sydney protestors so blatantly demanded?

Channeling has become a popular phenomena in the last several years. We see it featured in News-Magazines and on talk shows. We read articles about it, and bookshelves everywhere now hold volumes of books written by channeled entities, with more appearing every month. Some channeled sources have gained a great deal of notoriety, drawing large crowds for seminars and workshops, often at a steep price.
How can we better understand this sudden outpouring of information? Webster defines "channel" as: " a means of access, a route". In the context of New Age work, channeling provides an access-way through which communication can be achieved between planes of existence. Channeling is a route through which those who are NOT focused in physical reality can give information to those who ARE focused in physical reality.
Though it may seem to be a fairly recent phenomena, channeling in various forms has existed as long as humankind. The most common form of channeling, in fact, is one we all have experienced: That sudden helpful insight that occasionally comes to us from "out of the blue". This form of channeling has created many works of art and has helped us find solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems. Unlike other forms of channeling, this inspiration is always available to us and whether we receive it rarely or often may simply depend on our receptivity and openness.
Dreams are another avenue through which channeled information can reach us. In the dream state we are open and spiritually attuned, creating an un-obstructed gateway through which Universal knowledge can flow. While the dream channel and inspiration are both valid routes of channeling, dreams, for many people, are more easily ignored. We tend to respond to and use those insights which inspire us.
The most spectacular form of channeling is, of course, "Trance Channeling". In this technique, the channel gives up the use of his or her body by entering a trance state, allowing the "source" to speak directly to a third party.
Although most trance channels work with only one source, sources can be a number of things or beings. Many believe that channeled "sources" reflect the channel's subconscious mind or a "collective unconscious".
Channeled material may also flow from one's "Higher Self". Information communicated to us through this Source definitely "counts" as channeled material, for our "Higher Selves" are not focused in physical reality. Others may channel material from the Cosmic Mind or from the God-Goddess-All-That-Is.
Most channeled material, however, comes to us from spirit guides or Masters and, ultimately, it is the material which is important regardless of who or what we believe our source to be.
Another way of communicating with ones "source" is through "Automatic Writing". In this form of channeling, the channel first meditates then sits with a pen and paper or a typewriter and allows the source to write. Meditation should be practiced each time before automatic writing since meditation puts us at peace and makes us more receptive to true spiritual sources.
The technique for automatic writing is fairly simple: After meditating, sit in a comfortable position holding a pad of paper and a pen, resting the point of the pen on the paper. Keep the body relaxed and ask if there is a "source" present. Stay relaxed and just wait for writing to begin.
At first the writing may be unreadable, just fine little scribbles that mean nothing. After some practice, however, the scribbles will become readable words and phrases which allow the source to identify themselves and discuss whatever subject we wish. Success may not be achieved in the first few sessions. It may take time and daily practice to develop a strong connection but it is well worth the effort.
No matter what technique we use to channel our information, it is very important that we not follow blindly. Until we are satisfied with their believability, each of our sources should be regarded with a certain amount of healthy skepticism. We should examine all channeled material with a detached and questioning mind.
Although the material may vary in content, there are certain qualities which will always be present in information which is "channeled" by a true spiritual source. Such information will be positive in outlook and will always direct us toward the spiritual path. Since our sources will always try to help us as much as they can by giving us sound and usable advice, sources who attempt to dazzle us with incomprehensible garbage should be regarded with suspicion. A true source will not lie nor will they gossip. Our guides will not tell us to do things, and they cannot predict the future because the future is always changing.
When we attempt to channel our spirit guides, it is important to keep these points in mind. Non physical entities have "personalities" just as physical ones do. Someone whose attitudes were negative, or depressed, in LIFE, might carry remnants of these qualities into spirit life. Edgar Cayce was once quoted as saying: "The only difference between a LIVE Episcopalian and a DEAD Episcopalian is that one is DEAD and one is ALIVE."
In reality, there is no such thing as communication with the "dead". We tend to see life in physical terms but LIFE is a SPIRITUAL reality which, for us, is presently housed in a physical form.
Though misguided entities can not harm you physically, their influence could produce negative side effects which could make your experience of channeling less fulfilling or pleasant, just as being around ANY negative personality might tend to do. For this reason it is important to establish a secure system of protection and awareness when attempting to channel. Observing and following these giudelines can protect us from the inevitable confusion which results from contact with these misguided "sources".
A certain amount of preparation is also necessary if we hope to be a clear and responsible channel. With this as our goal, it is probably not advisable that we attempt any form of channeling until we have attained some degree of proficiency at meditation.
Meditation makes us more centered and loving. It also acts as a shield against contact with negative spirit personalities. Meditation should be practiced daily, for besides facilitating our ability to channel clearly, it is the most important thing we can do to expand our spiritual lives.
Your spirit guides can become life-long friends and advisors as they have a wonderful outside view of our lives and life in general. They have access to information that we could not otherwise obtain. They help to deepen our understanding of ourselves and help us through our times of crisis. Contacting these spirit friends is not difficult. There is no loss of control of our bodies and nothing to fear for we can quit any time we choose.
Spirit friends, just like our friends in the physical world, should always be treated with respect. They should not be expected to entertain our friends or answer a lot of trivial questions. (If it is important to us, then it is not trivial.) Probably the most serious mistake we can make, however, is to become too dependent on our guides as this is the one thing that will cause us to lose them. Like any true friend, our guides do not want us to count on them too heavily.
The process of channeling our spirit guides is truly a great adventure. It may take weeks or months to develop but it is an amazing process and will bring invaluable results to those who persevere. Good luck and happy channeling.

QUESTION: WILL THERE BE SOMEONE GOOD (FOR ME) AND EXCITING/ATTRACTIVE THAT COMES INTO MY LIFE SOON? WHAT SHOULD I BE WATCHING FOR, IF ANYTHING?
Deck used -Llewellyn Tarot - http://www.llewellyn.com/
The Past - Five of Cups - This card is about emotional loss and being completely in that moment and energy. This is about withdrawing into that space and not being able to see the illumination and light around you and in the situation, it was raw and it hit very hard. There is however hope, depicted by the two cups at the figures back, that there is love, divine, self and ultimately partnership (two cups remaining standing, two of cups being a relationship card).
The Present - Two of Wands - Being creative and beginning to look at things differently, you have come out of the five of cups energy and are now planning for a new future and beginning. You are examining your life, and on more than one level and have started to see the divine lessons and reasons for the past. You are wiser and can see the sun.
The Near Future - Six of Wands - Victory and success. Confidence is self and feeling balanced.
Surrounding Energies - Ace of Pentacles - This is the raw element of the suit of pentacles. As your question was not about money, or the material realms, this vibrates to the fact that you are ready to find your place in the world and the person to grow with you.
Attitude - Five of Pentacles - This is one of the key cards in this reading, this is a very harsh card visually. You may feel like you have been robbed or are being left out of what others have, looking in at the feast of Stephens, others warm, happy whilst you have nothing. The main thing to remember about this card is that if you bring this attitude into your next relationship you will sabotage it.
Outcome - Queen of Swords - This Queen indicates success through clarity of thought and planning, which relates back to the two of wands.
Answer - Four of Swords - It is time to rest and a time to enjoy your space and the quiet time. For soon, you may not have the opportunity to.
The overall energy of this reading - Through experience and rest, you now know what you want. With the word 'planning' coming through this reading more than once, it indicates that you are in a mapping phase of your journey. Look at the questions of - what do you want in the next five, ten, fifteen years of your life? What to you makes an amazing relationship and what have you learnt for yourself. You are going to get what you wish for as you got the star come up as the next supporting card (not shown in the picture) which is the wishes fulfilled card. You also got the Knight of Pentacles, so I wouldn't be surprised if your man is not incredibly passionate, has travelled a lot (and still wants to - will probably want to take you with him). Earth sign for his zodiac or works with his hands. Another note - with all of the swords and wands, be a little more discerning and give as much to yourself as I know you would to your partner, for if you do not receive what you give, you may go back to the five or cups and feel like the five of pentacles again.
