Greetings!
(Reposted as I thought it was a great chant for Spirit/guides/dieties.)This was originally posted by Ana Walsh also known as Nikki.
I call the light of
golden rays
I seek protection
thus, I pray.
for heavenly forces
at my side
angels, sages,
spirit guides
or wolves who walk
with cunning skill
Come to my aid!
Come at my will!
Black bird soaring
light my path
so I am victim
to no one's wrath!
And when my
journey knows success,
all those who aid me
Goddess bless!

Originally, this link was listed on the board. Since, it's rather relevant and contains useful information on animal totems, I thought I would repost it. The original poster who found the information is Ana Walsh, one of the original moderators of the board.

| Finding celtic tree... |
[05 May 2005|04:46am] |
Greetings!
Originally, this was posted on the board on December 26,2002. I'm reposting some info that is still relevant for the present. :)
As I was researching some info on Runes and its relation to Brittany, I came across this bit of information. I found the celtic calendar that associates birth dates with trees. It shows the birth person's qualities associated with the tree of the celtic calendar. The link for this is:

| A perspective on discovery... |
[05 May 2005|03:58am] |
Greetings!
In the last few months, I've discovered many things about myself. As I move forward each step, I've begun to see the opportunities that appear each day. The opportunities for challenges and growth have been numerous. The experiences, in itself, have been rather insightful for me.
For instance, I've discovered that my hunches are much more accurate than I thought previously. A good example of this was the date of april 28th which I kept seeing. I thought, perhaps, it was the date I would get a job or some other significant event. My logical sense told me that it didnt make any sense since, I've been interviewing with Barnes and Nobles since January and other places in the last month. ( I put in an application in november for Barnes and Nobles since I kept seeing references to it.)
Sure enough, I was called on april 26th for yet another interview and to fill out an application for the third time . I got the job the next day. The funny part in all of this is that the assistant manager kept losing the applications that I filled out but, managed to remember my name to call me this third time.
One of the other things, I've discovered, although slowly is that other references/experiences I was seeing/experiencing would be merging to a certain degree. I'll try to explain this the best way I can. In 2003, on Mother's Day to be exact, I rediscovered my link to the Standing People. I had stopped after a walk in the park to lean against a pond tree to quietly meditate for a few minutes. I was quite awed by the initial contact of that tree as it had showed me aspects of myself I wasnt aware of.
I continued to expand my awareness as I begun to contact other trees in the park. I was lucky enough, although I see Spirit's hand in this, to work for a 200 year old store last year. The trees on that land had been untouched for a very long time. They taught me many things at the time about myself and the history of the land. It was the site of my faerie sighting last summer. They also told me of their link to other older sites in this country. I think that just shows the awareness of Mother Earth on levels that many people are unaware of.
In 2002, whenever I traveled to these sites and to the ocean, I would be very inspired to write poetry. I suspected it was something to do with a bardic path calling. I really didnt know for sure. Then, for some reason, it had stopped for the last two years.
Within the last month or so, I've had the stone path call to me along with the runes. I wasn't quite sure what I was doing with it so, I asked several people about it. I figured this had to evolve on its own way and it did! I realized as mundane events were unfolding around me that the runes were pertaining to me on several levels and my service to others.
AS I began to delve into it, I was encouraged to paint/draw the images I was seeing. So, one night last week, I began to sketch what I saw. I found that not only did the images pertain to many spiritual perspectives but, that my poetry had come back. Spirit found an outlet through me to write the words and show the images for me to draw to show the meanings of the runes. I've also became quite aware of the history of runes whilst doing this.
Now, you may ask where the trees come into this. Although for now, I've been working with the stone people and the runes, I've also been told of the Ogham alphabet that pertains to their relationship to the Standing People. Well, you can say that I'm working on both, depending on what symbol calls to me first. I'm just waiting to see how the images further unfold as I try to transition this to painting.
Here's to the present day.

| An amazing thing... |
[16 Jul 2004|03:37pm] |
Greetings!
I saw the most amazing thing about less than two hours ago. I've been working at this 200 year old general store since the start of January. For some time, I've been having my lunch on the side porch of the house portion of the store. It faces a garden with stone wall and various maples circling around the side of the estate. The estate ends with two roads on either side, one near a waterfall.
Today, I decided to sit there a few minutes and just chill out a bit. After about fifteen minutes, I saw this light moving. Thought it was reflecting off a spider thread on the porch. The light came and went. Then the light appeared as slightly irregular shapes. Sort of a cross between a diamond shape and an oval shape. Thought that my glasses were smudged at the time and was looking at a moth.
I realized shortly after, that I could see the bees and the one moth actually there in the garden in front of me perfectly clear. Then, the light appeared one more time..as an irregular shape and flew in an irregular pattern. I just sat there for the next few minutes stunned. From what I know and feel, I think it may have been a faery or two.
I decided to walk near the area and go through it. I usually just walk near one of the maples and talk to it. This was the first time I walked near the other areas. I kept hearing doorway and transcendent journey while walking around the bush. I almost couldnt contain my excitement while walking around the rest of the estate. :bnc
After a bit, I sat down and closed my eyes. I was wondering if I would receive any messages and I did! I saw a couple of shapes. Now, I think synchronicity is at play here because I had just finished reading the fourth age thread and other thread by Wolf Spirit Uk. I saw two distinct shapes..One was a cross within a circle with four dots on the outside. The other one was a diagonal cross within a circle with four different colors for the sections.
I'm still bouncing from the experience. *bounces with joy*
Peace and Light,

Hi there,
I just got back from an Holistic Health Fayre where I had a Crystal reading done, with a lovely lady called Hilary. The crystals I chose for self (and I've already forgotten what they are) told me that I am very connected to my soul, that I listen to what it tells me and make descions based on this. Another crystal I picked for self told me that I am very spiritual and that I need to tap into this and maybe learn from it, perhaps join some spiritual organisation or group. Because both the spiritual & soul crystals were the largest these were the two things that were strongest in me. Another self stone said that there is a man with money coming into my life, that he would be someone who would see me for me and be drawn to me. Another self stone told me that I needed to treat myself, that maybe some upheaval is coming, so treating myself would be quite appropiate ^_~
Erm, the crystals I chose for work said that the job I am in at the moment involved communicating with people and that I was good at this (lol) but the second stone said that I wouldn't be at this job for long, that opportunities were presenting themselves and I should go for it and that maybe it's connected with the rich man.
I chose three crystals for friendship, one said that I was a friendly person, a good listener and that I empathised with people, and that I had a lot of good friends. Another stone told me that people were drawn to me because of my natural friendliness and that I was well liked amongst my friends.
So yeh....I wanted to get that down for record (cos we know my memory sucks). I told Hilary that I'll invite her to my wedding with the rich man!
Love and light,
Aimsxxx

I meant to write this the other day, I was at work the other day, or rather had just got back from lunch. Nicky and Colin were chatting in the front office and as I said hi to them I heard someone whisper my name as they went past me.
Just wanted to put it down for my own records.

I should add this incident as well. Yesterday, during the early am, I saw very clearly a young lad of sixteen. He was in eighteenth century naval outfit. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. I didn't ask him anything as I was too tired at the time.
Also, before I climbed into bed, I heard distinctive african chants and drumming. It sounded as an entire tribe was chanting around in a circle. It went something like: dadaDIYdadaDIY. It went so fast that I'm sure that I missed part of the rhythm of the chant. It went on til I fell asleep in my bed.
Interesting, eh?
Peace and Light,

Tis good to see this place being put to use ^_^ Everyone please feel free to chime in, ask questions, discuss your own theories and have fun with it.
I am making an effort to be more open towards my spiritual nature, which I have been neglecting somewhat. It's amzing how bogged down in the details of life you can get, anyways I wanted to post about a couple of incidences I've been experiencing the last couple of days.
Both incidents happened at work, the first of which was when I happened to be making use of the ladies *blush*. Firstly I should tell you that the ladies loos in our office has the central heating boiler in it, therefore it's very rare for the room to get cold in the room. Anyways I was in there and I felt my left leg go icy cold, I looked down and I got the image of a small black animal winding it's way around my leg, the way I sensed it moving I am thinking it was a cat, although it was large for a cat. I got the feeling it was pleased with something.
The second incident happened today, I was at my desk doing some dictation when my right had felt cold, but not like a proper cold, it felt like someone had blown cold air onto it. I felt the presence of a man, he was kinda stooped, his features were shadowy. He felt intense, he was staring, i felt intimidated. I asked him to leave me alone, to come back when he was in a better mood. He left and I visualised the protection like my mum taught me when I had my Reiki attunement.
Love and Light,

| re: store I work at and spirits |
[06 Apr 2004|01:25am] |
Greetings!
I thought I would tell you about a spirit occurence I had during the last weekend before this one. Here's the story:
I work for a 200 year old general store that has an old deli, post office and five other rooms. The store opened in 1793 and has an adjoining shopkeeper house. Its uphill from the slocum river that empties into Buzzard's Bay. Originally, the land was purchased for the quakers from the Massasoit Indians in the mid sixteenth century. On several occasions, I've felt a very strong presence in the house so, I've been talking to the tree that's near the house.
Although, I've some rather interesting talks with the trees, I've also had an interesting encounter with one of the spirits of the house. Last weekend, we had a bus tour of ladies touring the house. At some point, some of them were interested in seeing the shopkeeper's part of the building. It's the part of the house that most people miss unless, we point it out to them. You have to backtrack through the second room and take a left and then a sharp right through the doorway to outside, walk across a few steps to a green door and then go through inside of entry to the rooms in the house.
After I had related the history of the house to some of the ladies, I was just generally watching them. They reminded me of my heritage on my mother's side. My mother was born in this state but, both of my grandparents came from the old country in Portugal. In portuguese tradition, as well as, some others, the older ladies dress entirely in black from head to toe. Part of this tour was full of Greek elderly ladies so they reminded me very much of my heritage.
As they backtracked into the other room, they starting to go through the linens because, according to them , it reminded them of their villages. Again, I was comparing them to the ladies of my heritage and was thinking about kin. I had never been to the old country but had been thinking about it. In the midst of this thought, I hear "of kith and kin" running through my mind. I was slightly bemused by that and silently acknowledged the spirit was there.
Later, in the day, I spent most of it with my associate, taking up or rather pushing some boxes of clothes up the stairs. I sort of slid at one point but caught myself without falling down. I could hear"careful" right after I did that. I later was upstairs so I said" peace and light" to them to be friendly. I got back"peace be with you."It wasn't til lunch that I had some time to look up the stairs and get a bit of an answer on who it was.
I was sitting in mary's house in the entryway opposite from the stairs. Most of the time I do sense someone watching from top of the entryway. Well, at that point, I pointedly asked who he/she was. The answer I got back was "seacaptain" and sort of a chuckle. Got a quick glimpse of features or rather referred to a picture of a book on naval sailors in the store part of the building.
I'm still looking into which families lived there but, I thought the encounter was a bit humourous. I'll talk about the tree at another time.
Peace and Light,
Raventreewhisper

Whispers in the Dark
By Jason Drake
Do you hear them?
I hear them
Not all the time
But I do hear them
They say
"Join us"
"Yes, join us"
I only hear them
When I have been pushed
To my limits
And almost beyond
They try to tempt me
Over to their path
With promises
That the pain will end
That my heart
Will be hardened
Beyond breaking
That I will
Be given back
What I lost
But they can't
Give it back to me
For what I know
You can't go back
From knowing
That they exist
And they must be stopped.

The following is a poem by JasonDrake:
I Wonder
If anyone would miss me
if anyone would care
if anyone would notice
if i vanished into air
i can't say what
and i can't say why
something feels lost and broken
makes me want to say goodbye
i can't feel anyone around me
if I do i don't understand
why they are the way they are
or i am the way i am
tired and lost
broken and torn
sad and alone
weary and worn
the magic is dead
the world mundane
superman is fiction
powers aren't real
dreams mean nothing
no matter how they make us feel
Peace and Light,
Raventreewhisper

Who I am
By Jason Drake
I don't want you to talk to me
I don't want you not to talk to me
I really don't care
Whether you talk to me or not
However,
Before you decide
Know this:
If you elect to talk with me
You choose to speak
With a person with
One foot in several worlds
I am part Goth,
But also part Nerd
I am part Gentleman,
But also part Beast.
I am part Intellectual
But also part Empath
I am partly a very guarded person
But I am also partly a raw bleeding soul
I am the ultimate definition of the Dark Side of humanity
But I am also one of the greatest warriors the Light has ever known
Beyond all of these
Aside from all things
I am myself
No more
And most certainly
No less
Choose carefully
For once you cross the line
There is no going back.

Treasure of a different kind
By Jason Drake
Most people's treasures are silver and gold
But the comfort they give is far to cold
What people seek, what they truly desire
Is a warming of their heart by another's fire
That treasure's worth cannot be measured
The warmth of another should only be treasured

The Dreaming
By Jason Drake
If the silver road travels
There will I go
To find out if my dreams are real
The Tuatha De Danan stand and stare
To see a stranger
Walking there
He stands there straining
To feel and see
What he knows has to be
He tries not to show
How he's feeling
That he can't find them
Sends him reeling
A blind man trying to know
What he is seeing

Who Heals the Healer?
By Jason Drake
He wanders through life,
Touching hearts as he goes.
Why does he do this?
No one really knows.
He walks and he wanders.
He travels and touches.
He seeks and he quests.
He fumbles and clutches.
The pain of not finding,
Drives him ever on.
But when he gets to his goal,
He finds that it’s gone.
He seems to be drawn,
To those who have needs.
He does what he can,
But his heart also bleeds.
He seeks a true love,
So he can be near her.
He has only one question,
Who heals the healer?

Another Voice
By Jason Drake
Birth, a wonderous event,
A miracle of nature.
A baby's first cry,
Music to the Gods.
The laughter of a newborn
The most beautiful of melodies
Most importantly a child
Is an addition to life's eternal song.
As the young one grows
The understanding of small mysteries dies
And their song goes silent.
Until again there is a birth
And that child, with their song
Arises as yet another voice.

The situation mentioned in a previous post about negative spirits and such reminded me of a spell I wrote a while back and thought those concerned might find it useful. The key is intent and visualization for this, if the group casting it is really unified the spell will be stronger.
Together We Stand
By Jason Drake
Together we stand, against those who would wish us Ill
Together we stand, against those who would block our Path
Together we stand, against those who would do us Harm
Together we stand, against those who would twist our Destiny
Together we stand, against those who would see us Undone
Together we stand, with one Mind
Together we stand, with one Strength
Together we stand, with one Heart
Together we stand, with one Dream
Together we stand, with one Will
Forces of Deceit, by the Awareness of our Mind we cast you out
Forces of Strife, by the Steadiness of our Strength we cast you out
Forces of Hatred, by the Passion in our Heart we cast you out
Forces of Malice, by our Faith in our Dream we cast you out
Forces of Rage, by the Unity of our Will we cast you out
By our gathered Knowledge, we cast you out
By our gathered Courage, we cast you out
By our gathered Resolve, we cast you out
By our gathered Trust, we cast you out
Together We Stand, And We Cast You Out
