Yadūnakaṃ taṃ saṇati,
yaṃ pūraṃ santameva taṃ.
Aḍḍhakumbhūpamo bālo,
rahado pūrova paṇḍito.
Things that are empty make a noise,
the full is always quiet.
The fool is like a half-filled pot,
the wise one is like a deep still pool.
Sutta Nipāta 3.726
Gemstones of the Good Dhamma, compiled and translated by Ven. S. Dhammika
To the woman who has lost her spark.To the woman whose get up and go, has well and truly gone.
This is for you.This is to remind you, that you don’t have to be everything to everyone, every day.You didn’t sign up for that.Remember when you used to laugh? Sing?Throw caution to the wind?Remember when you used to forgive yourself more quickly for not always being perfect.You can get that back again.You really can.And that doesn’t have to mean letting people down or walking away.It just means being kinder to you, feeling brave enough to say no sometimes.Being brave enough to stop sometimes.And rest.It starts the moment you realise that you’re not quite who you used to be.Some of that is good, some of that is not.There are parts of you that need to be brought back.And if anyone in your life is not okay with that…they are not your people.Your people will be glad to see that spark starting to light up again.So, if you have been slowly fading away my friend,this is the time to start saying yes to things that bring you joyand noto things that don’t.It’s really pretty simple.
–Donna Ashworth
Anupubbena medhāvī, thokaṃ thokaṃ, khaṇe khaṇe,
Kammāro rajatasseva,
niddhame malamattano.
One by one, little by little, moment by moment,
a wise one should remove one’s own impurities,
as a smith removes dross from silver.

I always loved Greek Myths. The story of the Trojan War is very famous. Archeologists in Syria discovered a wonderfully intact mosaic depicting the Trojan War along with Amazon’s who fought with them. What was once a myth is now thought of to have been a real historical event. Most myths are based on real things.
“On April 24, 1184 BCE, Greek armies invaded the city of Troy, in modern-day Turkey marking the end of the Trojan War. Here’s the astrology chart for that date and the discovery today chart by transit Note that this is a URANUS return year for this date. Once every 84 years
“The war had been sparked a decade prior when Helen, left her husband Menelaus, king of Sparta for Paris of Troy after Goddess Aphrodite made her ‘fall in love’ with him.

one may realize a greater happiness,

This week Aradia Academy has opened registration for the Read Like the Devil series of foundation courses focussing on the Playing Cards module, a series that is taught by The Janitor, Bent Sørensen, this time around. He will present 6 video lectures based on my Playing Cards volume of the Read like the Devil trilogy of textbooks.
For fun I here share some of the specialised material he has decided to add to the course. This is one of 5 essays he offers on an adapted use of hoodoo and folk magic together with playing cards. In Bent’s own words:
“In these essays I’ll be working through Professor Charles Porterfield’s book: A Deck of Spells: Hoodoo Playing Card Magic in Rootwork and Conjure. These are not my native traditions by any means, so I’ll be looking at them as an outsider, and as someone who is used to different…

The sun has been putting out major Solar flares and eruptions, and CME’s creating solar storms, radio and power blackouts -and amazingly beautiful northern lights displays further South than normal. If you are sensitive you feel the effects of these Solar Flares as they charge the magnetosphere of the earth abs our bodies. Your pets and animals respond more directly to these blasts of solar winds and charged particles. If you feel exhausted, get headaches and for me it’s vertigo, these are all signs that you are feeling those sunspots. Rest drink lots of water and stay grounded. Feel how our star is affecting the earth and your body directly. You know you are in direct contact with the stars thus way. Everything is interconnected. See the ultra violet influx as charging up your energy fields. Watch the video . youtube.com/watch
Only my most capable offspring are entrusted with the responsibility of helping those in need. So, in order to help you carry out my mission on this planet, I’m here to encourage and protect you. My powers are so broad that I can aid and see you at all times, my child. You are always secure in my arms.
You have the potential to do so much. As you let go of anxiety, I’m helping you to focus your attention on me. Be certain that I’ll be there to support you along the way. Also, please do not doubt yourself since you’re more than ready for this new chapter in your life!
There are some healers who have never studied the craft taken an exam or who may even be unaware of their innate talents.. Even if you’ve never given it any thought, you possess the ability to heal yourself as well as other people. Isn’t it interesting how when individuals open up to you about their innermost fears and worries, they immediately feel much better? Your healing energy is responsible for this!
All throughout your life, many people will look to you for advice and assistance. However, it’s important to remember to take care of yourself, as well. Because you’ve been through a lot, you are incredibly well-suited to pass on your experience and positive outlook to others.
Consider the things that are worrying you or the people closest to you right now. Imagine that you are in the middle of a severe thunderstorm and that the storm is a metaphor for the challenges you are currently facing. Your thanksgiving prayer is answered, and the storm stops just as you finish saying it:
“I humbly ask you to perform healing miracles in my life. Holy Mother, please help me to walk the path to happiness and health. You have provided me serenity, compassion and strength and I want to share that with the world! Let this happen by the strength of my own free will and the blessing of your sanctified name!”
October starts out on a high vibe note under a Sagittarius Moon bringing optimism Fiery sage wisdom, good humor and east going energy.

My poem The Answer in the We’Moon lunar calendar this weekend, from a true bird lover:
THE ANSWER
Watch birds in flight.
Feathers glow gold
under white sun.
A bird flies to the right
the answer is yes.
To the left
the answer is no.
Left is not bad.
Sometimes no is the answer.
