When times are difficult, we must pull together as a family... as the family we are!
I know things are really looking rough right now, but times of troubles are really just chances for us to show the community just how strong we are. As a Council, as a Temple, as a People.
Let us pull together and show this temple the support it has shown us- it has sheltered us and given us a place to express our beliefs in a safe, sane, consensual way without fear of reprisal. Can we as members do less for t…

Guys, we need to get back to scheduled, formatted Thurs night chats. What does everyone want to talk about next Thurs? I've volunteered to moderate unless one of our illustrious Mods attends.
Thanks
Nef

Darkest Greetings to my Brothers and Sisters: As I have in the past I stand ready to serve the temple again. Hopefully, with the blessings of my fellow members I can assist by helping out on chat nights, assist in online ritual and help serve in other ways that priestesses do. I am currently in contact with JP by phone, and will be calling him once a week and contacting via email to be of more help. If there is anything I can do for anyone else, please let me know. Blessings and Namaste my Broth…

In case people happen upon this, I am pretty sick. I've been in bed for about a week now with flu-like symptoms, fever, nausea, vomiting, etcetera.
Keep me in your good thoughts.
Love and blessings to one and all

Recently, in a blog, a respected and intelligent member described why he had changed his name and it got me thinking about all the changes my name has made since the beginning of this long journey.
My given name- Alicia- means Truth, and very much like Richard Rahl from the Sword of Truth series, my life has been a journey seeking the Truth and doing my damnedest to live it. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I fail, but I never stop trying.
It is the effort that makes me a Seeker. It is the effor…

Being a person of a curious nature I am wondering which came first- my "need" or my insanity?
Oh I'm not a danger to anyone, I am on meds and I stay pretty even keeled for the most part, but the best thing about being bipolar growing up was I was able to write poems that could truly touch and affect the world around me. I could create beauty and live vicariously through it's vibrations.
Now it is a battle to stay balanced, day and night. Medications and diet, and feedings, because if I don't F…

The room is hushed- near silent. The only sounds are her slippered feet on thick pile carpet. She is fresh from the ritual bath- a soak in purifying and protection herbs and oils. Her ritual robes, black satin and velvet, gathered around her, her ceremonial jewelry in place. She reverberated the names of the Divine Names which govern the Seal/Character of the Planets, Their Intelligences (good spirits), and Spirits (daemons). Aha. Hagiel, Kedemel, Bne Seraphim. (as pulled from ordosekhemu.org)

Orbs
In my minds eye, I see three orbs. This is my understanding as of right now. This came to me as I slept, and may be the earmark of a naïve mind, but the process of self-discovery is long and strewn with learning-obstacles.
The first orb is light heather grey, and inside I see the physical body.
Inside the orb, the physical body is suspended as it runs thru cyclical patterns of life, death and rebirth. Inside, the body’s cells and cell systems are being born, maturing, and succumbing to at…

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared beneath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I the king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all
A…

Every time I come close to cracking the surface, I am pushed away. Either by my impatience to get to work or their lack of ability to comprehend my motivation. SO, here I am again on the edge.
I want to dig deeper, be useful, DO something, especially NOW since my cable is back up to full strength and I am out of school and REALLY needed a focus. This
was to be my focus: adding my energies to help the temple grow even as I grow from the experience, but as I talk to people, as I experience…

I set foot out my door never knowing the destination.
As a Priestess, it its not my Will I follow but Hers, and so it is not for me to know where I go, what purpose the miles serve.
I go where She leads.
I go where She wills.
I walk in the steps She has laid before my feet.
Sometimes I stumble.
Sometimes I fear She has entrusted too much to me, a weak-willed creature with a heart full of fear.
Then the trees part and the panorama spreads before my human eyes, filling it with otherworldly spl…

It will happen tonight
Just as it has happened before
This flaming spike of agony
sends me out among them
the lost
and I feel their life, their breath, their pain
Rich smells of sweaty flesh
the tang of metallic vitae
I search for the one
who can feed this hunger
It can't be just anyone
the deep pull of their fear
coupled with the sweetness of their submission
mingle and dance on my tongue
as I embrace them in this final ballet
I feel the Moon's pull,
telling me that the night is fading, and…

fear, heartache
and pain mingle
becoming something else
the sweat
that gathered lingered
my soul burns in Hell
I reach across my body
slide smooth hands
o'er velvet skin
I pull the covers down
exposing flesh, and psyche
this battle I can't win
I rise from my
den of iniquities
a scarlet rose in bloom
I feel lips
on my body
inviting impending doom
the touch of
teeth like razors
incise my tender fires
engulfing me
in madness
exploding with desires
liquid
holy sustenance
give…
