About the Abby: Set in 36 acres of parkland at the heart of Glastonbury, the Abbey is steeped in 2000 years of history and legend. Now it is being vividly brought to life with the help of actors who play the parts of monks and a kitchen maid. The performance takes place in the Abbot's Kitchen, creating an authentic medieval environment.
The actors tell tales from the time of the Abbey about how the monks lived, the church services they attended and the food and drink available to them. It was at the Abbey in 1191 that the monks (sought and) found the remains of King Arthur and his Queen Guinevere, and their bones were reburied in 1278 inside the Abbey church. They remained there until the Abbey was vandalised after the dissolution, and no-one has seen or heard of them since.
As legend has it, the first Christian sanctuary in Britain it was visited by Joseph of Arimathea, Saint David and Saint Patrick.
Many believe that the Holy Thorn tree that can be seen in the grounds originated from Joseph of Arimathea’s staff, and others are convinced that King Arthur really was buried there.
Whatever one believes, the facts are that the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey are magnificent and the grounds are a haven provide a spot of peace and tranquillity .

To Summer
O thou who passest thro' our valleys in
Thy strength, curb thy fierce steeds, allay the heat
That flames from their large nostrils! thou, O Summer,
Oft pitched'st here thy goldent tent, and oft
Beneath our oaks hast slept, while we beheld
With joy thy ruddy limbs and flourishing hair.
Beneath our thickest shades we oft have heard
Thy voice, when noon upon his fervid car
Rode o'er the deep of heaven; beside our springs
Sit down, and in our mossy valleys, on
Some bank beside a river clear, throw thy
Silk draperies off, and rush into the stream:
Our valleys love the Summer in his pride.
Our bards are fam'd who strike the silver wire:
Our youth are bolder than the southern swains:
Our maidens fairer in the sprightly dance:
We lack not songs, nor instruments of joy,
Nor echoes sweet, nor waters clear as heaven,
Nor laurel wreaths against the sultry heat.

About the Gaia Festival Creatrixes Stephanie Hamberger (East Coast Creatrix)
Stephanie is the organizer of the first annual Gaia Festival. She worked as a photojournalist for years, which eventually led her onto her present path as the co-founder of Soul Pilgrim (www.soul-pilgrim.com) - an adventure that brings sacred travel, workshops, retreats and events to folks who want to honor and heal the land.
Of both Mohawk and a mélange of European descent, she identifies with both the traditional Native American and Old European expressions of spirit, but mostly hears and honors the wordless ancient call and “does what the land tells her to do”. She makes her home in the woods and hills of Colden, NY with her husband, two cats and two rabbits and is excited to be a small part of something much bigger than all of us.
Stephanie has shared the songs, art and movement of our ancestors with travelers during her sacred pilgrimages to Glastonbury, Cornwall and Bath, England 2001-2005 for Lammas celebrations.
Later this year, Stephanie will debut the Enchanted Mountain Goddess Conference to be held August 31-September 3, 2007 in Allegany State Park, Town of Red House, New York.
Stephanie is currently authoring a book about the sacred traditions of bread baking all over the world.

Articles from aPath & Pagan Wisdom



I have mentioned finding this site a few years ago. I found him on WitchVox. His article which, in my words, follows why we study all religious and spiritual paths. And accept God is for all. We come from God therefore none of us are seperate from eachother or God, our Creator. (For those of you who are picky, God/dess).

aPath.org Home For more articles and features, check out my new site: Pagan Wisdom

Note: I have spam-blocking software installed and you will need to reply to the message you get back from it or I won't ever see your message. It's a hassle, but I get a new spam every 5 minutes or so and I had to do something.
If you have a questions that would benefit others to hear the answer to, please post it in the Discussion group so all can see it.

Welcome to Pagan Wisdom
PAGAN: n. One who is not a Christian, Muslim, or Jew. Generally, a follower of a polytheistic or nature-based religion.
WISDOM: n. The ability to apply knowledge and experience in a situation to achieve the best possible result.

This site is devoted to the exploration of concepts related to paganism, wicca, new age and old age religions, spirituality and life in general. This site is designed to provide the teachers and students of the community with FREE original and useful resources that they can use in their own classes and personal work.

Find his articles. I liked his Ritual Creation Worksheet (Downloads available) PDF

Crafting Effective Ritual - Many people learn to perform rituals in a variety of ways. Usually this involves discussing the structure and the mechanics of the ritual, who does what, where and when, and leaves off the most important part: HOW. ... Here are some of the factors that can transform good ritual into great ritual.

Remember, when you are performing a ritual, you are performing a Service. It may be a service to Spirit. It may be to those present. It may be to yourself. Most likely, it is all of them at the same time. Perform your Service well. -Brian Gallagher

Some definitions of the differences between White, Grey and Black Magic. Though magic itself is neutral, how it is used determines its "color". This section provides guidelines as to the color of magic you or others may be using and how to identify it based on simple criteria.

Muses by LI: In a time of transition as loved ones are going on to their next adventures it is interesting to find his article below. I am not perfect and am not from a culture that does not "grieve" the loss of loved ones in this life, though I do see it as totally natural and the way things are to be. This too shall pass be it positive or negative, as it takes both to exist. We do not have one without the other.
A friend helped me to understand that the suffering of a Beloved was perhaps part of what was necessary for them so they would not suffer in their next life. She was not being released by my (human) companion easily and was holding on till the one that bound them here let go so that their suffering comes to an end.
Asking to be released as it is their life's journey to finish not ours to hold them to us.
Actually is it possible to communicate with them on the other side, if you believe and listen.
Accept their fate and release them to what is next for them.
We come into this world knowing that we will die, if we do nothing else. We will live, die, and live again.
I had teased my Mother that I knew only that I would feed the worms when she asked about my Eternal Soul. As that was all I had known at that time. After that I have a friend who (has been to the other side and returned) says it is all good. Be it here or there, do not grieve.
Last year when I experienced for myself that there is no fear or pain in leaving our material Universe. I do know I prayed not to come back as Terri S. did. I accepted whatever was next for me to experience in my own adventures, I was saying goodbye to my companion of many years, while the doctors were trying to get Oxygen to my lungs. My two favorite young familiars came into sight and gave me a message which brought me back.
As I have returned and live again here to once again choose to leave at another time, I know it is more than only that. We are not put back here as a punishment. My reasons were to protect those that would not have done well with my leaving at that time. As I am still needed as their Protector, Guardian, and Mother.
If I believe that my loved ones on the other side can communicate with me now, as they reach past the divide, I should too be able to one day contact with loved ones that need to be comforted or guided (nudged).
That little voice is sometimes all we get that when we do what it says we feel better. The feeling that we are not alone. The dream you have with the answer to a question we are looking to solve. Or sometimes the actual two way conversation which is awsome to experience.
Today I found his writings on these subjects he has put together.

A course of the A Framework for Inner Peace. Almost everyone would like answers to some of the really tough questions life makes us ask.
Why do bad things happen to good people?
Why do people die when they are still needed?
Why is there suffering in the world?
Closing thoughts - I wrote this with a few goals:
To provide a framework to help illustrate that life's difficulties can be viewed in a positive light To explain how we could have consciously chosen the life we live, and why we may have chosen it To tie a number of different popular concepts together and show how they are inter-related and can support each other
To help people coping with a difficult time in their lives to see how there can be a higher purpose to what they are going through and to help them continue to keep pushing on through their challenges. If you do the hard work and learn the tough lessons you benefit from it.

Hopefully I have achieved at least some of these goals. If you have any questions about anything here, please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to try to explain my thoughts a little more clearly.

[circletimes] Wiccan Widows Speak about Memorial Day Dedication

[circletimes] Wiccan Widows Speak about Memorial Day Dedication of VA-issued Pentacle Gravestones for their Veteran Husbands
Widows of Wiccan Veterans to Dedicate Gravestones with Pentacles on Memorial Day near Barneveld, Wisconsin USA
On this day of national remembrance the story of three Wiccan widows and a Pentacle etched in stone is being told all over the world. Three widows, all members of Circle Sanctuary have gathered at church headquarters this weekend, and are reflecting upon their husbands, their lives, their deaths, and equal rights for the Wiccan religion.

*"Now that I've seen Jerome's burial site up close, I'm starting to really feel the accomplishment we've made. I'm very pleased with the gravestone at the Circle Cemetery site, and I believe he is as well."Karen DePolito of Utah widow of Jerome Birnbaum, Korean War Veteran

*"Douglas was Wiccan as long as he could remember. Having a pentacle on his gravestone and being recognized for who he is means the world to both of us. His remains are now at peace in their new home at Circle Cemetery. He fought for Freedom for twenty-four years and now, finally he is Free."Sandra Wilkey of Kentucky widow of Douglas Wilkey, Korean War & Vietnam War Veteran

*"Today is a great day, not only for myself, but for other Wiccan families. This Memorial Day at last I am having closure. Our fight for religious freedom is over, and my husband, Sgt. Patrick Stewart can rest in peace. For the first time since Patrick's death, I don't feel as if he died in vain. May all our soldiers be blessed and remembered on this very special Memorial Day.Roberta Stewart of Nevada widow of Sgt. Patrick Stewart, Desert Storm Veteran & Killed in Action in Operation Enduring Freedom

Reflections on the Memorial Day Wiccan Veteran Gravestone Dedication by Rev. Selena Fox, who will be facilitating the ceremony. She is Senior Minister of Circle Sanctuary and Executive Director of Circle Cemetery, Wisconsin's first conservation cemetery.

*This Memorial Day, we gather to remember and honor the lives and service of our veterans who have died and to dedicate their newly issued VA gravestones with pentacles. We gather to support their widows in finally bringing closure to marking the sites of their husband's remains at our church cemetery. We also gather to celebrate our victory in upholding religious freedom -- and to envision, pray and work for a world with liberty and justice for all.

Wiccans, Christians, and those of other faiths from Wisconsin, Ohio,Nevada, Minnesota, Michigan, Utah, Illinois, Kentucky, and elsewhereacross the nation are traveling to Barneveld, Wisconsin to take part in the nation's first Memorial Day Dedication of Wiccan veteran gravestones with pentacles.
