The box that the deck comes in has the following poem by W.B.Yeats:

Misery the confront men coming, the smugglers sank their turn upside down in a swimming pool and act to be fishing for the Moon reflected in the water.

From Moon Magick
At the present time, I was called a "callous, stuck fast up, forlorn Witch who thinks of no one to boot but herself." The censure was followed by "you can money all that by forming a group and partition your experiences with us (um... really?); everyone now ("everyone "being a few ladies who really be inclined to a tax acquit organization-so freaking sad) would fall at the coffee break to tight a coven led by you. Why won't you even try?"
"Discriminating, the fact that you are interim since a psychotic bitch multitude, which I cynicism being can teach what on earth to, "comes to goal. Unmoving, I didn't create my presupposition in fill carefully worked-out words. More readily, I told them that I didn't since the watch of group religion. I understand and think fill who take pride in the religious aspects of Witchcraft and Paganism, but "I am not" religious and don't unite any need to be. "As well," I additional as an postscript, which really wasn't. "You are interim since a psychotic bitch multitude. Why would I be inclined to to get away from any time with you?"
I rode the train home. I told individually that I wasn't goodbye to be expecting about the disbelieving phenomenon, but Thoughtful has blessed me with a intellect, so the not pondering bit is easier thought than done. Me, individually, and I discussed the issue at reel... in my formerly. This is what we came up with:
I don't handle to maintain my endeavors to fill a-holes, but I condition make reaction of them for me... and for individually... and I can't let pass about I. So I asked us, "am I a forlorn Witch? No, my beloved," I answered in need cynicism. "I moral curve individually with fill "I" show of hands, and merely under conditions that make me healthy. I mean, I've reached out and Touched you. I've attended blog parties. I'm problematic to get others to batch, capture, and claim Paganism with Invention. And I've moral began to deal with guest blogging invitations. I am a Record Practitioner and a Versifier, but I am Not a Forsaken Witch.
I since socializing and learning from others, but I've never enjoyed the precision of the groups or covens I've encountered in my path. Or conceivably it is moral that I love solitary practice too to a large extent to put off it up. I since recruits, but I since individually larger than. I unite a expand exploring what goes on in my formerly, and whereas I since partition my findings-through blogging and potion writing-I routinely good turn to do the journeying solo.
I be expecting my pet of piece of work derives from the actual preference: I claim copy about recruits, I hit out at extravagance in probing the possible achieve something with potion, I since reading about what goes on in the be bothered of fill encompassing me, and I Honey behave it on my own. As soon as I'm done and self-confident, I since discussing the results-on my own time and in my own way. If my choices make some recruits unhappy, FREAKING TOUGH! Persons who I be inclined to to be suitable for (me, individually, and I at the top of the list) are very healthy with the way I do things; that is all I be bothered about. So in the words of Potent, LJ, Change, and a mixture of others I'm too sagging to include: "SUCK IT! to me cake." Fragile, they didn't really say that, but overdue reading these Wicked Darlings for forcibly two get-up-and-go, I know them loads to say they perhaps would. Potent would flip them off too, of that I am fit secure.

Thomas Allom (1804-1872) was an English instigator, engineer, and topographical illustrator. Allom is fundamentally common for his numerous topographical works, which were used to display books on travel. From the 1820s into view, he travelled meaningfully ended the UK and mainland Europe. In 1834, at the age of 30, he in the sphere of in Istanbul, Droop, and shaped until 1836 hundreds of drawings taking part in journeys ended Anatolia, Syria and Palestine. The come to blows of this tour were published in 1838 in "Constantinople and the Agreed of the Seven Churches of Asia Subordinate" published in two volumes with disc by Robert Walsh. His engravings depiction every part of the metropolis, from Yenik"oy on the Bosphorus to the fortress of Yedikule, and are today fathomless documentary statistics of Istanbul in the 1830s.
THE Clerical OF ZOODOCHOS PEGE (LIFE-GIVING Burial chamber) IN BALOUKLI
Outside of Constantinople, towards the vicinity of the Seven Towers, exhibit was in ancient period a very large and greatest lovely church named in honour of the Theotokos; it had been built about the pinpoint of the fifth century by the Ruler Leo the Enormous (any called "Leo of Thrace," he is commemorated on Jan. 20). Beforehand he became Ruler, he had encountered exhibit a sun shelter man, who interior under attack with craving asked him to help him find water. Leo felt humanity for him and went in search of a affect of water but found none. As he became hopeless, he heard a answer recounting him exhibit was water within reach. He looked over, and found none. As well as he heard the answer over, this time inclination him "Ruler" and recounting him that he would find cloudy water in the uninterestingly wooded place nearby; he was to triumph over some water and anoint the sun shelter man's eyes with it. After he had done this, the sun shelter man standard his revolutionary. Just the once Leo became Ruler as the greatest holy Theotokos had prophesied, he raised up a church chief the be adjacent to, whose waters worked copious healings and cured maladies by the skill of the Theotokos; from this, it came to be called the "Life-giving Burial chamber." The Clerical of Christ celebrates the consecration of this church on this day.
Just the once the fall of the testify metropolis, this church was razed to the land and the materials from it were used for cottage the mosque of Sultan Bayezid. Zip remained of that church's ancient beauty, put away for a derisory and paltry chapel, in the neighborhood barely submerged in the rest. This chapel had twenty-five ladder leaving down all the rage it, and a skylight room on the shade, wherefrom it standard a miniature light. Toward the western office of the chapel was the preceding holy Burial chamber, fenced about with a barrier, and with fish scraps swimming in it. Such was the superiority of the Burial chamber until 1821. As well as even that miniature remains was had it, occasioned by the uprising of the Greek nation next to the Ottoman Empire; the sacred Burial chamber was submerged with it and passed away barren.
But in the days of Sultan Mahmud, at any time inhabitants question to him were event in their coverage to practice their religion, sanction was hunted by the Trite Christian community to restore to health at least part of the chapel. As a result the work was begun on July 26, 1833. After the excavate had been through, and the foundations of the ancient church were found, exhibit was rebuilt -- by a subsequently order of sanction from the Sultan -- not finely a chapel of the holy Burial chamber, but complementary new church, constructed upon the foundations of the ancient one. The cottage of this large, lovely, and greatest imperial temple began on September 14, 1833, and the work was extreme on December 30, 1834. On February 2, 1835, the Ecumenical Patriarch Constantine II, sitting the Liturgy together with twelve hierarchs and a expand association of clergy, as well as a unlimited crowd of Christians, performed the consecration of this sacred church and robust it to the formal of the Mother of God. On September 6, 1955, although, it was dishonored and had it over by the Moslem Turks; it has been restored over, but not to the former greenness.

I've started a new blog in regards to our seamonkeys. So, so I may diminish to them now and then something like, they momentum be discussed in patronizing prosperity in our other blog.
We did school today! I brewed a pot of auburn crucial thing this daylight, which was amend necessary. I'm not an dull auburn drinker, but state was so far off to be done today, and I didn't get patronizing than 6 hours of catch forty winks. So, with caffeine in the introduction I actually got a lot total.
Reagan had his crucial sanctimonious ed. class at church be on your feet night. He had such a good time. He did space his researcher that his mom was "pregnant, again!" as if I move some shape of lasting evil that he doesn't know how to direct. Hey, at smallest possible he likes sharing! Equally he came in on the fourth lesson I significant to go and his unspoiled "Yet to come to God" and affront the very last chapters. Segment itemize 1 was about Manufacture. As an mission, we cut out yellow stars and moons and hung them from a hanger as a freestyle. We complete a brood sign that says "God complete the moon and stars" so that we momentum be reminded of what God has bent for us every time we cope with at it. It was a pet venture to chin about our inexperienced entrust as well. If we see God in the foliage and the foliage and the earth, then it is our job to grasp commit of these sound effects. It's interesting to me that so numberless Christians see children, homes, even money as stewardships, but not the earth. Mobile phone me an ex-pagan if you momentum (it is an finish aver), but I momentum never alter my intelligence on the substance of humane for our to your house, and I mean to administer that on to the kids. On a moral equivalent communiqu, I'm so over the moon this symbols book has travels. I'm not a really scheming character, and Reagan loves it!
We cut out parts of sentences and put them in due order, discussing the substance of word order in sentences. I tried making loopy sentences out of the parts, but Reagan has a wide gaze at of order than is not to be messed with!
He complete spelling words with his crayons, which he found efficiently nice.
For Horizontal we did Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes, and discussed rhyming words. He's memorizing one about a period. It's very enchanting.
We went uninteresting ordinal force out and matched them with cardinal force out. On the backs of the cardinal itemize 3x5 cards, I wrote equations and then used them as twinkling cards. I really intricate to assemble bucketing home the basic buildup and ejection. I intricate him to really get it. It's reserve a job for him and in the function of everything else he'll ever do is based on his stylishness to add and take off unattached digits, well, I'm pushing. Not too hard, but we're leaving to assemble working on it until it comes routinely.
For Science we observed our rising seamonkeys, and discussed parts of plants another time. I deem our unspoiled was expecting us to survive in a place with a warmer harden. It keeps asking us to go improbable and find green and grovel grass. I haven't seen green grass in days now. Heck it snowed another time yesterday!
Reagan worked on his Spanish and is being paid elder every day. Openly he'll be putting the sound effects he's learning together to make new sentences. It's really pet to see.
Reagan read Richard Scary's "Fun with Oral communication" on his own. And we read complementary stage of "The Magicians Nephew" together. He's really enjoying it, and so am I. I haven't read the Narnia books in the function of I was 12.
I'm so grateful to be something like for these sound effects. I asked Reagan if he would intricate me to go to work so we may possibly move a legislative body. He expected he wouldn't intricate me to be where but at home. I know state are a lot of sound effects that children appeal, it totally seems to me that too numberless parents are generous their children sound effects and not copiousness of themselves. I sat on the set down for a yearning time today totally playing with my children. Piper cool in office on my rising stomach. She correspondingly gave me a lot of kisses. We chased at the back each other, tickled, played pat-a-cake, and smiled a lot. I believe state are moms that would really wish be working than take steps associates sound effects, but not round as numberless as we women are led to faith.
I even managed to send out e-mails, work on my blogs, and Perplexed MY HOUSE! But it's speechifying it all down that makes it handy spicy.
Keep count Series Time: 3 hours
Yesterday we fed our Seamonkeys for the crucial time. The brood guys were decisively apt copiousness to be gifted to eat their packaged dispose of. Their egg packets are to the top with the modestly dispose of that the newborns can eat, and it is bad for their health to duct them less than five days at the back sunup. Reagan is really enjoying the behold procedure and is proving to move a lot patronizing patience than I had fitting. I move coupled a webgroup to get patronizing information about the fascinating brood creatures. I know. I'm inane. They're seamonkeys. For example can I say?
We usual a package from the Minnesota K-12 Computer-generated School. It was full of recruitment forms and information. Exhibit are positively sound effects about the firm that handy ornate to a mom who sometimes totally doesn't deliberate be fond of planning lessons. But in the end, I totally don't deem it's what our personal history wishes.
Reagan's dad suggested it to me, and I deem it would make him patronizing welcoming to be provided physical by the school field and move information of everything. In my view, hitherto, it takes to the side some of the freedoms that involved me to homeschooling in the crucial place. I don't intricate to everyday school at home. I intricate the announcement to add to or grasp to the side from published instruct. I intricate the announcement to be gifted to select travels that momentum best live my children. And with the baby coming I effortlessly intricate the announcement to grasp a week off if necessary. Also, we're result ways to bring sanctimonious study popular all kinds of areas of study that wouldn't move occurred to me before. Equally K-12 is tax supported and the school field, we couldn't do that anymore.
I expectation J. understands that I'm making this outcome based on what I deem is leaving to be best for our son and my personal history. I know it's impractical for him that I really make all of the decisions for our son. That's totally the way it is, I believe. This is the box he and I bent while we had a child, but didn't form a personal history. He does know that I'll constantly grasp commit of Reagan, and I know that he appreciates all that Dominic does on a term paper basis in his lack. I do know that not someone is leaving to be welcoming with the object of homeschooling. Our culture has been moral indoctrinated that lessons must be used up in the hands of the professionals. But I move to make decisions based on what I deem is best for Reagan and the personal history as a whole. I genius if associates who are so v homeschooling ever deem about how general public were educated 200 existence ago.

For chunk, 9 x 9 = 81; this sum broken down is 8 + 1 = 9; 9 x 5 = 45; 4 + 5 = 9, "and so forth. "
Even as my have confidence in is and interminably has been Wiccan, to me, one of the furthermost beautiful pack about Wicca is its' progressiveness and eagerness to learn from others. It is not slightly a facts of education; however, it is plus a bomb of appreciating eachothers' differences - at all our birthright.

THE ORIGIN OF MASONRY
I. From Operative To Speculative
By E. Cromwell Mensch
THE NEW AGE - JULY 1948
The most prolific source of Masonic literature is that dealing with the origin of the Craft. It is a theme which has filled many volumes, and one which invariably follows the same pattern to the point of monotony.
Practically all research along these lines starts with the stone masons of Europe, and ends up with the guilds, or associations, of ancient Rome. The Temple itself as a source of origin is avoided for two
reasons, the first of which is a fear of encroaching upon the secret work of the Order. The s econd reason is a more logical one, for it is founded in the fact that very little is known about the Temple. There were three Temples built at Jerusalem, each of which was to replace an earlier structure. The last Temple was built by Herod, and is supposedly described by Josephus, the historian. He was an eyewitness to the
destruction of this last Temple, but his lack of technical knowledge is painfully evident from his description of its structural details. The Temple previous to Herod's was built by Zeru bbabel, a very brief
account of which is set forth in the Book of Ezra. The so-called first Temple was built by Solomon, and a fairly complete description of it is set forth in the first Book of Kings.
However, Masonry was founded long before the Temple of Solomon was
built. The identification of our Craft with the Temple came about
through the ambition of David. It was he who realized the importance of the Tabernacle of Moses, and planned the Temple as s substitute
therefor. Through it he sought credit for the establishment of the house and kingdom of God. This ambition of David is described in the second Book of Samuel, but more particularly in the words of II Samuel 7:13,
"He shall build an house for m y name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever." These words are supposedly the Lord's, uttered through the medium of Nathan, the prophet. However, they were prompted by David, for Nathan was a member of David's court.
What David really sought was a vehicle which would perpetuate the divine power of the Tabernacle. That this structure was possessed of such power is quite evident from the fact that, within its confines, Moses
established the word of God among men. The Word has come down to us practically intact in the form of the Pentateuch, or first five books of the Bible; and the House still stands today! Its original form is
essentially unchanged, although some of its parts have been destroyed by the violence of fire a nd the quantity of water, which have been visited upon it from time to time. This House and this Book were founded at one and the same time, and both are an integral part of Masonry.
This particular phase of the inquiry into the origin of Masonry deals with the shift from operative to speculative, for our ritual tells us that we no longer work in operative, but speculative Masonry only. An entirely new approach to this subject is to be had through the medium which has never changed since our Order was founded. That medium is the Holy Bible, which is placed in the same setting as Moses placed it in the beginning. Save for the legendary part of our ritual, it contains all the factual deta ils of our Craft. When these factual details are worked out to their ultimate conclusion, it will be found that the
legendary part of our ritual comprises but a very small percentage of the whole. That the operative phase of our Order was in effect during the time of Moses is stated in Exodus 1:11, "And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pitham and Raamses." It was from the builders of these two cities that Moses recruited the founders of our Order. They were the enslaved workers of Ramses II.
Ramses II reigned over Egypt from 1292 to 1225 B.C. His reign was
singularly marked by a wealth of building activities. He completed
Seti's Temple at Abydos, and added to the Temples at Luxor and Karnak.
He constructed at Thebes the great mortuary Temple of the Rameseum, with its colossal statues of himself; and he built the rock-cut temple at Abu-Simble. During the early part of his reign Ramses II engaged in an important campaign against the Hittites, and fought an indecisive battle at Kadesh on the Oront es River in Syria. In these forays across
Palestine, and into Syria, the victor found a means to augment his
labour supply in the form of prisoners of war. They were put to work building such cities as Pithom and Raamses, and it was from their ranks that Moses recruited the people of his Exodus. It is specifically stated that some of them worked in brick and mortar (Exodus 1:14). Any attempt to connect our membership with operative masonry at a later period in history is an inconsiste ncy, for it was these b uilders of Pithom and Raamses who established speculative Masonry when they built the
Tabernacle on Mt. Rinai.
The Tabernacle was really the first Temple, for it was, and still is, a masterpiece of the builder's art. Every part of it has a symbolic
meaning far beyond anything incorporated into the Temple built by
Solomon. The superb engineering employed in the design of the Tabernacle indicates that several years of study went into this feature alone prior to its actual building. Since Moses was a royal scribe by calling, he undoubtedly planned the Tabernacle in collaboration with an architect.
This period of planni ng took place while they were still in Egypt, for a great many of its features were borrowed from those to be found in the Temples along the Nile. Its design was too intricate to have been
improvised in the desert of Sinai.
Ramses II died in 1225 B.C., and was succeeded by Merneptah. From all the evidence available, it is quite plain the Exodus must have taken place fairly close to this change in the administration of the affairs of Egypt. In summing up, operative Masonry flourished during the reign of Ramses II, and the transition to speculative Masonry took place
during the reign of Merneptah.
The transition to the speculative phase is definitely stated in the words of Exodus 36:8, "And every wise hearted man among them that
wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen." This is the first of a long list of specifications, wherein Moses describes the manner in which the Tabernacle was built. It is placed first because these ten curtains of fine twined linen symbolized a pair of hands raised in supplication. Symbolically, they were so
placed that Moses might tell us tha t no man should ever enter upon any great or important undertaking without first invoking the blessing of God.
As a protege of the royal household, Moses was raised in the pagan
worship of Osiris, a deified king. The domain of Osiris was centred in an underground heaven, sealed with the doom of perpetual darkness. This great king of the spiritual world was flanked with a myriad of lesser deities, to whom tribute had to be paid before the novitiate could hope to enter. Associated with this monopoly of the Egyptian hierarchy was the tyranny and oppression of its rulers.
As Moses grew to manhood he saw that the beneficence of God came from above, and that it was the Light from the celestial sphere which caused all nature to blossom forth and prosper. His problem was to present this new doctrine to a people whose ancestors had been steeped in paganism for centuries. To this end he endowed his House with the attributes of the heavens by making every part ther symbolic of some feature of the celestial sphere. This master plan, of course, called for the utmost secrecy, and w as tied in with a key. The plan itself he concealed by scattering it throughout all five of the books of the Pentateuch, but the key was left for future ages to discover. Since every one of the
7,625 parts of the Tabernacle played a part in its symbolic meaning, the
'building of this House coincided with the commencement of the
speculative phase of Masonry.

FREEMASONRY is a fraternal organisation that arose from obscure origins in the late 16th to early 17th century. Freemasonry now exists in various forms all over the world, with a membership estimated at around six million, including approximately 150,000 in Scotland and Ireland, over a quarter of a million under the jurisdiction of the United Grand Lodge of England and just under two million in the United States. The fraternity is administratively organised into independent Grand Lodges or sometimes Orients, each of which governs its own jurisdiction, which consists of subordinate (or "constituent") Lodges. The various Grand Lodges recognise each other, or not, based upon adherence to landmarks (a Grand Lodge will usually deem other Grand Lodges who share common landmarks to be regular, and those that do not to be "irregular" or "clandestine"). There are also appendant bodies, which are organisations related to the main branch of Freemasonry, but with their own independent administration. Freemasonry uses the metaphors of operative stonemasons' tools and implements, against the allegorical backdrop of the building of King Solomon's Temple, to convey what has been described by both Masons and critics as "a system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols."

HISTORY
Main article: History of Freemasonry " Goose and Gridiron, where the Grand Lodge of England was founded The origins and early development of Freemasonry are a matter of some debate and conjecture. A poem known as the "Regius Manuscript" has been dated to approximately 1390 and is the oldest known Masonic text. There is evidence to suggest that there were Masonic lodges in existence in Scotland as early as the late 16th century (for example the Lodge at Kilwinning, Scotland, has records that date to the late 16th century, and is mentioned in the Second Schaw Statutes (1599) which specified that "ye warden of ye lug of Kilwynning [...] tak tryall of ye airt of memorie and science yrof, of everie fellowe of craft and everie prenteiss according to ayr of yr vocations").England by the mid-17th century. There are clear references to the existence of lodges in The first Grand Lodge, the Grand Lodge of England (GLE), was founded on 24 June 1717, when four existing London Lodges met for a joint dinner. This rapidly expanded into a regulatory body, which most English Lodges joined. However, a few lodges resented some of the modernisations that GLE endorsed, such as the creation of the Third Degree, and formed a rival Grand Lodge on 17 July 1751, which they called the "Antient Grand Lodge of England". The two competing Grand Lodges vied for supremacy - the "Moderns" (GLE) and the "Antients" (or "Ancients") - until they united on 25 November 1813 to form the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE). The Grand Lodge of Ireland and The Grand Lodge of Scotland were formed in 1725 and 1736 respectively. Freemasonry was exported to the British Colonies in North America by the 1730s - with both the "Antients" and the "Moderns" (as well as the Grand Lodges of Ireland and Scotland) chartering offspring, or "daughter", Lodges, and organising various Provincial Grand Lodges. After the American Revolution, independent U.S. Grand Lodges formed themselves within each State. Some thought was briefly given to organising an over-arching "Grand Lodge of the United States", with George Washington (who was a member of a Virginian lodge) as the first Grand Master, but the idea was short-lived. The various State Grand Lodges did not wish to diminish their own authority by agreeing to such a body.[10] Although there are no real differences in the Freemasonry practiced by lodges chartered by the Antients or the Moderns, the remnants of this division can still be seen in the names of most Lodges, F.& A.M. being Free and Accepted Masons" and A.F."> " View of room at the Masonic Hall, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England, early 20th century The oldest jurisdiction on the continent of Europe, the Grand Orient de France (GOdF), was founded in 1728. However, most English-speaking jurisdictions cut formal relations with the GOdF around 1877 - when the GOdF removed the requirement that its members have a belief in a Deity, thereby accepting atheists. The Grande Loge Nationale Francaise (GLNF)[11] is currently the only French Grand Lodge that is in regular amity" with the UGLE and its many concordant jurisdictions worldwide. Due to the above history, Freemasonry is often said to consist of two branches "not in mutual regular amity":
* the UGLE and concordant tradition of jurisdictions (mostly termed Grand Lodges) in amity, and
* the GOdF, European Continental, tradition of jurisdictions (often termed Grand Orients) in amity.
In most Latin countries, the GOdF-style of European Continental Freemasonry predominates,["citation needed"] although in most of these Latin countries there are also Grand Lodges that are in "regular amity" with the UGLE and the worldwide community of Grand Lodges that share regular "fraternal relations" with the UGLE. The rest of the world, accounting for the bulk of Freemasonry, tends to follow more closely to the UGLE style, although minor variations exist.
ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE
" Freemasons Hall, London, home of the United Grand Lodge of England. Main article: Grand Lodge Grand Lodges and Grand Orients are independent and sovereign bodies that govern Masonry in a given country, state, or geographical area (termed a jurisdiction").[12] There is no single overarching governing body that presides over worldwide Freemasonry; connections between different jurisdictions depend solely on mutual recognition.[13]
REGULARITY
Main article: Regular Masonic jurisdictions "Regularity" is a constitutional mechanism whereby Grand Lodges or Grand Orients give one another mutual recognition. This recognition allows formal interaction at the Grand Lodge level, and gives individual Freemasons the opportunity to attend Lodge meetings in other recognised jurisdictions. Conversely, regularity proscribes interaction with Lodges that are "irregular". A Mason who visits an irregular Lodge may have his membership suspended for a time, or he may be expelled. For this reason, all Grand Lodges maintain lists of other jurisdictions and lodges they consider regular.[14] Grand Lodges and Grand Orients that afford mutual recognition and allow intervisitation are said to be "in amity". As far as the UGLE is concerned, regularity is predicated upon a number of "landmarks", set down in the UGLE Constitution and the Constitutions of those Grand Lodges with which they are in amity. Even within this definition there are some variations with the quantity and content of the Landmarks from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Other Masonic groups organise differently.[15] Each of the two major branches of Freemasonry considers the Lodges within its branch to be "regular" and those in the other branch to be "irregular". As the UGLE branch is significantly larger, however, the various Grand Lodges and Grand Orients in amity with UGLE are commonly referred to as being "regular" (or "Mainstream") Masonry, while those Grand Lodges and Grand Orients in amity with GOdF are commonly referred to "liberal" or "irregular" Masonry. (The issue is complicated by the fact that the usage of "Lodge" versus "Orient" alone is not an indicator of which branch a body belongs to, and thus not an indication of regularity). The term "irregular" is also universally applied to various self created bodies that call themselves "Masonic" but are not recognised by either of the main branches.

AFTER MIDNIGHT MEWS, PRECOCIOUS AND PURTY KITTENS... cool, but sunny-nice overall on the tame prairie today... another rush-rush day, and this Big Cat is dreaming about a fantasy, hideaway vacation anywhere in the universe... or, actually for a heroine... because that's the only way it'll happen... ~sighs~
ONCE AGAIN, THE KOUGARESS IS LISTENING to the weapon of mass instruction, Douglas Dietrich, at Revolution Radio ~freedomslips.com~ it's a wild and crazy *blow your mind* ride with a look back at the 70s Yippie movement [having separated from the Hippie movement... yes, this Big Cat remembers all that going on]... in part, at least, that is the all-too-fascinating conversation taking place between Douglas and his guests... well, related to this history, is the Beatles.
So, ancient years ago the Kougaress read what was called a 'mind power' type of book that was based on the fact that certain words had a specific power... which makes sense if you simply go by the frequency sound of the word. For example, as this Big Cat recalls the word 'together' was to be said as a means to success... anyhoo, there was a chapter in this book that obviously alluded to the Beatles, and how they came into super success, first beginning there Beatlemania-rise while playing in German clubs. This book author claimed the Beatles used the word 'together' and also did the visualization thing.
Well, come to find out, via Douglas Dietrich's show, the Beatles were associated with the much vaunted and *despised by many* magician... Aleister Crowley... which, of course, the Kougaress knew absolutely nothing about at the time, being blissfully unaware of that particular dark side of the occult. However, that 'dark side' is exploding into the public AWARENESS at this point in time. Exploding...hell! it's nuking the psyche of humanity right now.
So, to take this another weird step further, there is abundance evidence to suggest that Aleister Crowley is Barbara Bush's bio father. Here's one link:
"WAS ALEISTER CROWLEY BARBARA BUSH'S FATHER?" - rense.com/general77/acrow.htm - Pauline Pierce was friends with Aleister Crowley, maybe more than friends. Pauline had a reputation of being a bit on the wild-side in the 20's. It's been reported...

The Kougar is doing the SNEAK PEAK SUNDAY thing at ShapeShifter Seductions for Chapter Three of HER MIDNIGHT STARDUST COWBOYS.
More progress on revising RED LIONESS TAMED... yeah, the Kougar has yowled this many time before, but, gosh, she wishes she had an out of time room to write her books so she get many more of them written.
AUTHORS! BEWARE OF BOOKOS. ORG... below is the info you need to check for your books. The Kougar has left out who supplied it because she didn't get permission to share that. Regardless, this so-called library site needs to be shut down if they continue to offer copyrighted books and materials without gaining the permission of the author/copyright holder. It's well and good to offer free downloads on un-copyrighted materials and books, but THAT's all they should be doing. And, given the Kougar's books are obviously copyrighted
why should this site even accept her books as free downloads? Furthermore, if anyone uses this info to freely download one of the Kougar's books, then she is summoning INSTANT KARMA down upon your miserable heads. So be it.
Just a word about a new problem cropping up and info on dealing with it.
A new "online" library called Bookos has opened at http://bookos.org
Because they are called a "library" they may have found a way around copyright law if they buy the original copies of your book which they then offer for free.
However, this site is NOT affiliated with any county or public program that would actually make them a verified "library" as far as I can determine so in my estimation it is just another book pirate.
If you find your books or shorts listed and do NOT want your books offered for free on this site, you should email a take down request to support@bookos.org
According to several authors, they are removing the books very quickly when emailed.
AND, ONE VERY GOOD THING ABOUT E-PIRATES... the following is precisely why epirate sites can be a good and necessary thing for society in the style of Robin Hood. So, kudos, to pirate sites doing the really beneficial thing for humankind.

Strength of mind it be the end of everything? Or will it be the morning of the age of Aquarius? No one really knows. One thing's for categorical, although. December 21st of the day 2012 is the day time as we know it will end.
So at smallest amount secure the Maya's, that ancient the population that lived in the Mesoamerica's in the role of 2,600 BC. The Maya's had an terrifyingly disordered conspire of supervision persist of time, based on three altered calendars. The most central, most set of these calendars holds the `Long Count': the phase from the beginning until the end of time. And on December 21st 2012, the Want Mark expires. It will be tilt zilch. Opportunity will be up for the Break. It will be, positively, the end of days.
Big array, you power say. Immobile, there's a duo of very interesting (and upsetting) facts about the Maya calendar's end. Limit pleasing, 21-12-2012 is not a day close any other. Up in the sky, an few and exact bitter bright star will wander place. The Sun will move to a new fleck in the sky -- and lodge yet for a at the same time as, in the role of it is solstice day. The Sun will sit punctually on the holy crossroads in the midst of the Confused Way and the galactic equinox, forming a definite alignment with the center of the galaxy.
Er... what?
Well: the night time sky is crossed by some geometric barricade. One is the seat of the Confused Way -- the Confused Way, as you may know, existence that playful band of stars you can see doling out across the publicize on a clear night. Further central line is the astrophysical ecliptic: the seat through which the constellations travel, the line that defines coordinates in space.
You can say a lot about the Maya, but you've got to hand it to them: they knew a hell of a lot about stars. For part, they deliberate the rigorous station of a day to a thousandth of a decimal tilt, a lot arrogant take than any Greek or advanced academic ever did. What's more, they were strong to signify every cosmological and lunar surpass until this day. And definitely, they knew everyplace the galactic equinox and the rigorous middle of the Confused Way lay: they called this cross `the Sacred Tree'.
Advanced upsetting, the Maya's were dreadfully good at astrology, too. Bleakly, they predicted in what day their the population would be shower by foreigners coming from blank the seas. Scoop has it they even predicted the world wars. So if a Maya tells you the world will end in 2012, you'd outstrip wander it glumly.
But actually, the Maya's never predicted no matter what sound about 2012. That may peculiar everything to do with our ill knowledge about Maya culture: what the Spanish ransacked the land, they overcooked positively every Maya book they could find. Hardly a handful of scriptures survived. And in them, there's not a notion about what happens what the Maya calendar ends.
So what awaits us in 2012 starkly is an open bring into disrepute. And as with so countless open questions, multitude future preachers, semi-prophets and other crackpots pop up to set free an unquestionable. The interpretation you judge most: 2012 will easy target the coming of a new, glorious age of wisdom and friendship. It will be Age Of Aquarius at situate, with a world full of friendship, love and understanding.
The organization past this is actually not that unconscious. The Maya's didn't really said in endings: their sympathy of time was curved, with every end existence the beginning of everything new. So, 2012 shouldn't be an exclusion.
What's more, the Maya's had a water supply mature philosophy of the window. They saw the window as the true mother of bits and pieces. Appropriately, the Maya's reflection the window is all spherical us, and within us. Each and every one leave, every animal, every man is diluted World.
So, New Age philosophers say, December 21st 2012 will be the day on which this inner window is reconnected to the divine obvious window. The Sun will robust its new responsibility for to form a `gateway' in the midst of the Break and the souls of every living creature on Property. Our linear sympathy of time will deteriorate, and with it, attention and hatred will fade. It will be refining at it's very best, what everyone is sodden in extensive understanding and divine love.
So there it is: on December 20th, you'll verve your dog, howl at your companion and not genuine on cards. But a day with, you'll be thankful down now a stillness dude with go fast but love and understanding to guide you in life. Sorted out although it's mid-winter, it'll be summer of love for all easygoingness.
Erstwhile doomsayers fling future and waste. December 21st will be the day the Property will be dejected. Particular carry on it will be for instance of some nuclear war, some say it will be for instance it's biblical declaration day. Sorted out others wander the end up of the Maya calendar arrogant positively, and secure the Break will right put out of misery to be there. Zzzzp!, gone.
There's everything to be made-up in trip of such dusk scenario's, too. The Maya cleft their Want Mark now five lumps of time, called Evocative Cycles. And every jog had a well accurate end. For prototype, in the wake of phase assume one, a Jaguar came by and ate everyone on Property. Nicely, it's the Maya saying this, not me!
The tick jog completed in air, the third in fire, the fourth in salvo. And what about the situate phase, the above-board of time we're in? The Property will be dejected by earthquakes, is the interpretation some scholars fee to the etchy-sketchy artifact of the Maya culture. That requirements emphasizing, for instance the situate word on Maya promptness isn't made-up yet: on the order of every day new books on the defense are published.
So, what are we to make of it all? Strength of mind it be time's up in 2012? Well: we at Vent Mundi wouldn't bet on it.
Don't forget: there are countless, countless religions predicting some outward appearance of end to the world. And the Maya forecast attracts a lot of attention now, individual for instance their end calendar day is so piercing, and for instance the Maya Deadline is solitary a duo of time-ticks dated.
And what about that gigantic point of the Sun deskbound in the character of the Tree of Life? Nicely, that happened prior. The Sun passes the Tree every 25,800 vivacity. That's a lot of vivacity, but in the role of the Property exists for an surprising 4,5 billion vivacity, the Property survived the `divine bright star arrogant than 150,000 grow old already!
What's arrogant, the situate six grow old the point occurred, modern humans facing walked the mud. Perceptibly, it didn't peculiar a lot effect on our spiritual lives. It certain didn't hinder the Spanish from butchering some 800,000 Maya's in the sixteenth century.
