NATIONAL PAGAN RESPONSE

YOU HAVE BLANKET PERMISSION TO FORWARD THIS MESSAGE SWIFTLY AND
WIDELY*

People,
In addition to everyone’s private efforts occurring throughout the
day, I am calling for a major coordination of an Act of Magick on
behalf of this crisis to take place TONIGHT at Midnight, U.S. Eastern
(New York/Washington D.C.)Time, 11p.m. Central time, 10p.m. Mountain
Time, 9p.m. Pacific time and 5a.m in Great Britain and Western
Europe. All who can please gather in your temples, living rooms,
sacred groves and by your nearest power spot to send energy to this
situation. If your heart directs you to, please CONTINUE this Act of
Magick for Nine Nights – I feel strongly that our country’s
leadership will direct the country towards wholesale warfare; this
Act of Magick will be both healing and prophylactic. The goals as I
see it that we should focus on as a bare minimum should be:

* Safety and Healing, both for individuals and our piece of Gaia -
and Herself as a whole

* Reinforcement of our personal and national shields

* A STRONG thread of Peace and Calming directed within our own
borders as well as towards the Attackers

* A prayer for clarity and equanimity to prevail

* A STRONG thread directed to our country’s leaders NOT to consider
War as an option and good vibes sent to our people in the military

However your customs, traditions and spirit tell you to combine any
or all of these issues (or others you may come up with) and proceed,
please do so. The important thing is that we coordinate our energies
at the same time and keep the wave going as long as we can – Nine
Days is the ancient prescription for such crises.

Now, a plea for rationality: Most of you know that I have been
involved in the Islamic world in one way or another since college. My
gut, intuition and magick say that there are Muslim interests
involved in these horrible incidents, which seem to be confirmed by
the fragmentary reports coming in. I would ask everyone on this list
who is actively involved in sending to this situation to think, at
least *think* about (if not actively send love/magick/positive energy
to) the Muslims here in America, who are mostly peace-loving people,
innocent of any involvement there may be in this awful affair. Islam
boasts a larger than normal amount of fundamentalists due to its
active emphasis on Jihad-e-Asghar (the Smaller War,
against “infidels” – the Larger Jihad, Jihad-e-Akbar is the fight
against the evil in oneself…), but we are talking about a VERY
small minority who are not supported by the rank and file. I can see
the writing on the wall here for the fates of average Muslims living
in this country if/when reports of Muslim involvement are concerned.
In the late 70′s when I was teaching English in the Iranian immigrant
community, we regularly bandaged up Iranian and Arab boys and girls
who had the crap beaten out of them by bigoted idiots – their lives
were sheer utter hell for years. Please, when you are sending your
energies out to this situation, consider reserving a portion for the
peace, strength, calming and healing of the Muslim community in
America, and for increased positive relations between Islamic
communities and other religions/lifestyles worldwide. Thank you.

I look forward to joining energies tonight and for the next eight
nights on this. Anyone with more/better ideas, please post them and
forward this one as widely as you like.

Many Blessings be to all of you,
Maryam Webster,
Saratoga, California

so this is where donating blood got me

i donated. i got in line at 8.30 am. i finished at 1.26 pm. i was on line till 1. i got in a car accident. i sat and waited to see if i was ok to drive. i drank some juice. i got in my car. i felt sick, so i went to pull over. last thing i remember before realizing i hit the car in front of me was pulling off to the side of the road, hitting the brakes and reaching for my 4-ways. i “woke up” to a paramedic asking if i was ok. i have concussion, a torn muscle and a lot of emotional pain. i am obviously not going to make my train tomorrow. hopefully i can make it by the end of the month.

still no word from my friends in ny, which isn’t helping me any.

the greek mischief maker, would of course, be female

Ate
——————————————————————————–
The Greek personification of infatuation, the rash foolishness of blind impulse, usually caused by guilt and leading to retribution. The goddess of discord and mischief, she tempted man to do evil, and then lead him to ruin. She once even managed to entrap Zeus, but he hurled her down from the Olympus. Now she wanders the earth, as a kind of avenging spirit, but still working her mischief among mankind. Her sisters, the Litai, follow her and repair the damage she has wrought to mortals.
Ate is regarded as the daughter of Zeus and Eris, the goddess of strife.
