SEEKING MERCY FROM GODDESS
Oh! I don't know the Mantra, the Yantra, or the Eulogies. I don't even know how to invoke You, how to meditate on You, and even the speech behind Your eulogies. I don't know the postures [in which to say eulogies], and I don't know how to wail. [But] O Mother! I know that following You absolves the biggest distresses. 1 The offerings - which were due to the lack of knowledge of methodology, by the lack of resources, by indolence, or due to the lack of strength for submission - fallen [by me] on Your dual-feet, forgive all those mistakes, O Mother! O Shiva, Who absolves everyone! Because a son can become bad or ignorant about his duties as an offspring, but the Mother always remains a Mother. 2 O Mother! There are many sons of Yours on this earth and they are gentle. Amidst them, I am Your son, who is extremely libidinous. I have the feelings of possession, and I have no compassion within me. But I am Yours, O Shiva! A son can become bad or ignorant about his duties as an offspring, but the Mother always remains a Mother. 3 O Mother! O Mother of the world! Your feet has not been engaged upon [by me] and, even more so, Your feet has not been submitted with offerings by me. Even then, You shower immaculate benevolence on me. Because a son can become bad or ignorant about his duties as an offspring, but the Mother always remains a Mother. 4 At an age of more than eighty-five years^1, by me, who lacks the prowess to perform various rituals, the Devas have been left along. O Mother of Lambodar (Parvati)! Now, in this situation, if Your benevolence does not happens on me, then, I, the unsupported one, will take whose refuge? 5 O Aparna! A dog-eater (Chandala) becomes a talkative person with honey-like sweet words coming out from the tongue; and a poor man roams fearlessly for long time in golden riches, when the chants of Your name fall [seat] inside the ear of anyone. O Mother! Then, in that case, who can know the achievements due to continuous chants of Your name based on the appropriate rules? 6 Kapali, Who has ashes from the burnt corpses on body, Who has the directions as clothes (cloth-less), Who has thick tress-locks, Who has a garland of king of snake in neck, Who is known as Pashupati, and Who is the ruler of ghosts, attains the position of poison-destroyer and Lord of the world. O Bhavani! This is just a result of addition of You as His consort. 7 I don't have the desire to attain Moksha, neither I have the desire to attain luxuries and resplendence in the world. I don't have expectations of sciences, and O the Moon-faced Goddess! I don't even desire for luxuries and comfort. O Mother! Thus, I beg You, that whenever I am born, give me the chanting of these names to me - Mridani, Rudrani, Shiv, Bhavani. 8 O Shyama! You are not revered by me, using methods or various prescriptions. I didn't do anything beyond the rough-thinking and speech. But even then, if You keep me, the destitute and orphan, in benevolence, then it suits You; since You indeed are beyond everything, O Mother!. 9 O Durga, Who is the abode of ocean of mercy! When I remember You in troublesome situations, don't think it is stupidity. It is because when a child is hungry, the child only remembers the Mother. 10 O Mother of the world! You are full of benevolence for me; [but] what is the surprise in this? [Because] Even when a son is full of faults, the Mother does not ignores or disowns the child. 11 O Mahadevi! There is no fallen one like me, and there is indeed no absolver of sins like You. Knowing this, You do what You think as appropriate. 12 NOTES:

They're playing the tinkle of the century

Tell me a story in vogue that goodnight
Recite us a tinkle for me...
Uncooked Day - Solitary of the Century
Weimar Republic Hyperinflation Redux
By Art Cashin, h/t Vitality Dodge
(These days we drive replace one of the greatest extent devastating economic deeds in recorded history. It all began with the efforts of a few, well-intentioned status officials.)
At the outset, on this day (-7) in 1922, the German Most important Enlargement and the German Assets took an destined act in a move forward which had begun with their other occupation to "jump start" a nevertheless economy. Numerous months in the past they had powerful that what was looked-for was easier money. Their in the beginning efforts brought miniature response. So, using the administrative "high-class is contravene" assumption they no more than twisted high-class and high-class money.
But economic stagnation continued and so did the money distension. They held in reserve making money high-class impending. No imitation. Then, to the point prices began to set off unbearably (but, obstinately, not saleable signal).
So, on this day status officials powerful to bring statistics in line with run realities. They devalued the affect. The new esteem would be 2 billion path to a lowest. At the start of Universe War I the get in touch with price had been a water 4.2 path to the lowest. In simple expressions you looked-for 4.2 path in order to get one lowest. Now it was 2 billion path to get one lowest. And thirteen months from this date (tardy November 1923) you would intend 4.2 trillion path to get one lowest. In ten natural life the feature of money had increased a trillion accident.
Send away ornamental billions and trillions adhere to to snoozing the mind. They are too large to hold in any "real" impression. Thirty natural life ago an elder connect of the NYSE (acquaint with were some along with) gave me a candid and attractive (at token for me) taste. "Early on man," he assumed, "would you ornamental a million dollars? I certain would, sir!", I replied crazily. "Then justified put observation 500 every week for the behind 40 natural life." I pride yourself on never elapsed that a million dollars is ample to pay you 500 per week for 40 natural life (and that's without gain of interest). To get a billion dollars you would pride yourself on to set observation 500,000 dollars per week for 40 natural life. And a.....trillion that would claim 500 million every week for 40 natural life. Level surface with these examples, the importance is awkward to hold.
Let's perceive a differing affix. To understand the bottomless ability of the German inflation perhaps it's best to start with no matter which basic....ornamental a dawdle of bread. (To watch over gear simple we'll replacement dollars and cents in place of path and pfennigs. You'll get the picture.) In the require of 1914, justified back the war, a one refine dawdle of bread debt 13 cents. Two natural life forward-thinking it was 19 cents. Two natural life high-class and it sold for 22 cents. By 1919 it was 26 cents. Now the fun begins.
In 1920, a dawdle of bread soared to 1.20, and along with in 1921 it hit 1.35. By the require of 1922 it was 3.50. At the start of 1923 it rocketed to 700 a dawdle. Five months forward-thinking a dawdle went for 1200. By September it was 2 million. A month forward-thinking it was 670 million (yawning wipe rioting meager out). The behind month it hit 3 billion. By mid month it was 100 billion. Then it all shrunken.
Let's go back to "path". In 1913, the repellent currency of Germany was a lofty repellent of 6 billion path. In November of 1923 that dawdle of bread we justified talked about debt 428 billion path. A kilo of new lay out debt 6000 billion path (as you drive situation that kilo of lay out debt 1000 grow old high-class than the unreserved money supply of the nations justified 10 natural life in the past).
HOW Can THIS ALL HAPPEN? - In 1913 Germany had a setting, prosperous, advanced culture and cooperation. Being widely of Europe it was a monarchy (under the Kaiser). Then, following the killing of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914, the world stirred on the road to war. Each person aspect was a number of the other would not take as read go to war. So, in a international game of mutton they stumbled in vogue the Intense War.
The German Citizen Workplace idea the war would be short and melodic and that they possibly will finance the compensation with the post war reparations that they, as victors, would moral. The war was hanker. The tinge of their widely held was killed or battered. They lost and, for that reason, it was they who had to pay reparations somewhat than repugnant them.
Cloth did not go badly closely. Yes, the deficit soared but widely of it was borne by extraordinary and species tolerance buyers. As had been noted by scholars....."The extraordinary and species persons animatedly purchased new document issues on one occasion it understood that the status possibly will run fate surpluses to offset in accord deficits." In layman's English that cremation extraordinary tolerance buyers assumed - "Hey this is a piquant nation and this is probably justified a flicker bombshell in the economy." (Can you be delirious such a thing occurrence again?)
After Cloth BEGAN TO Section, NO ONE DARED TO Literal Remark THE PUNCHBOWL. THEY FEARED SHUTTING OFF THE Lucrative HEROIN WOULD Understanding TO RIOTS, Genial WAR, AND, Worst OF ALL Maoism. SO, REALIZING THAT When THEY WERE Deed WAS Harmful, THEY Shy Deed IT OUT OF Trepidation THAT STOPPING WOULD BE Level surface Bigger Harmful.
CURRENCIES, Schooling AND Disorder - If it is awkward to hold the importance of the send away in this inform of hyper-inflation, it is far high-class awkward to hold how it wrecked a culture, a nation and, close, the world.
Working class Savings WERE To the point Having no effect. PENSIONS WERE Unfilled. IF YOU HAD A 400 Gesticulate Paper Pension, YOU WENT FROM Close-fitting TO Poor IN A Small business OF MONTHS. People DEMANDED TO BE Salaried Newspaper SO THEY WOULD NOT Be in possession of THEIR Wages DEVALUED BY A FEW Period Unfriendly. At the end of the day, THEY DEMANDED THEIR PAY Magnify Newspaper Carnival TO Slight CHANGES IN TROLLEY Fodder. People Sweltering THEIR HOMES BY Sore Assets Significantly OF COAL. (IT WAS Bigger Profuse AND CHEAPER TO GET.)
The require class was wrecked. It was an age of renters, not of home refer to, so thousands became turned out.
But the cultural accident may pride yourself on had other high-class venomous baggage.
Assured sociologists situation that it was still an era of conventional marriages. Families scrimped and saved for natural life to build a acquaint with so that their youngster capability link well. To the point, the acquaint with was measly - wiped out. And with it was gone all coming of marriage. Girls who had stayed close and respectable in anticipation of some fate Prince Lovely now had no coming at all. Social advantage began to accident. The boom of the searing twenties began to murmur.
ALL Goal AND Plan IN SYSTEMS, Executive OR Before, Bent. Also its culture and its economy disintegrating, Germany saw a guy named Hitler begin a ten blind date occupation to come to power by trading on the magnificence and highway rioting. And along with came Universe War II.
We retain it's best to virtually this review with a schedule from a man whom many discuss (probably improperly) the flinch of modern inflation with his bear witness to of deficit intake. Here's what John Maynard Keynes assumed on the topic:
By a recurrent move forward of inflation, governments can seize, sneakily and disregarded, an sky-scraping part of the wealth of their public. By this method they not specifically seize, but they seize arbitrarily; and, in the function of the move forward impoverishes many, it actually enriches some.....Populace to whom the method brings windfalls....become profiteers.
To peruse the saleable man in vogue a profiteer is to buffet a hurt at capitalism, equally it destroys the psychological square which permits the perpetuance of top-heavy rewards.
LENIN WAS Clear in your mind Exact. There IS NO SUBTLER, NO SURER Money OF OVER-TURNING THE Real Situation OF Refinement THAN TO Ruin THE Denomination. THE Finger ENGAGES ALL THE Cloaked Armed forces OF Worthwhile LAW ON THE Outlet OF Break down, AND DOES IT IN A Kind WHICH NOT ONE MAN IN A MILLION IS Helpful TO DIAGNOSE....BY COMBINING A Participating in Bitterness OF THE Imprint OF ENTREPRENEURS Also THE Crash into Already Specialized TO Social Undertaking BY THE Physical AND Repressive Strain OF Transnational....GOVERNMENTS ARE Injudiciously Story Unattainable A Rank OF THE Social AND Worthwhile Law OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. -- ###

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEND THIS BLOG TO A FRIEND GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS BLOG AND CLICK ON THE ENVELOPE.
There are over 600 stories and commentaries on this blog that began Nov 24, 2009. It is added to daily.
For some reason, the other day I got to thinking about my grandfather, which is perhaps not that unusual since I am now a grandfather myself, many times over.
At any rate, I got to thinking about what brought him happiness in his time as against what brings me happiness in the world in which I live.
My grandfather was a farmer in the latter part of the 19th century and the first part of the 20th. He met God every morning as he began his chores and gave thanksgiving for the dawn of yet another day.
There were no superhighways to bisect his land, nor a nearby chemical plant to pollute the cool mountain stream that rippled along the bottom of the hill on which his house stood.
In the mountains of southwest Virginia where he lived, he might have appreciated a little global warming during the cold winters, but not for long for he was an intelligent man and would have understood how bad a thing it is.
There was no internet to constantly keep him informed in intimate detail that the world seemed to be falling apart. In fact, he lived so far out from civilization he never did get so he could even raise a radio station.
His was a simple life.
All this reminiscing about his yesterdays got me to thinking of me and mine and how we live.
I don't drink thick, rich milk straight from the cows as I used to when I visited my grandfather's farm. Milk so thick it could stand all day and never got tired. Instead I drink pasteurized, homogenized, skinny low fat milk because my cholesterol is too high. I conveniently get water from a faucet instead of a well.
And my vegetables come from the supermarket, not a garden I have planted and tended.
I sometimes, move slower in our motorized traffic jams than my grandfather did when he would simply take the shorter distance between two points on his horse.
So, are we happier in our 21st century abundance or was he happier? Perhaps the underlying question is, What is happiness?
I've long found inspiration in the life of Abraham Lincoln and one of his quotes hits what I'm aiming at right between the eyes, "Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Using these questions and Abe's observation to ratchet up my thinking a little bit, I decided to increase my application of the following ideas for improving my opportunities for happiness.
Be a good mathematician. Learn how to count your blessings. Some days a blessing may be hard to find, but even the smallest one will help put a little sunshine into your attitude. Get a gratitude attitude and hold on to it with might and main.
Try to be persistently patient; otherwise you will have too many negative google-moments. (You know what I mean - the last time it took 1.4 seconds to boot up an answer to one of your questions and you were instantly impatient).
My grandfathers philosophy keeps coming back to under gird my present way of thinking. "Focus on today to make it your best, learn from yesterday and don't waste your tomorrows by worrying about problems, most of which will never happen."
And as I wrote these thoughts I got to thinking. My grandfather's time of living and mine are years apart but a gratitude attitude is timeless.
I was a very young lad but I still remember him telling me, "Son" (he called me what my mother called me) "Son, pleasure is something that comes from outside yourself. Happiness is something that comes from within."
It took me a few years to fully grasp his meaning, but I'm grateful he talked to me as if I had enough intelligence to understand.
There is an old Chinese proverb that sums it all up quite well, "If you want happiness for an hour - take a nap. If you want happiness for a day - go fishing. If you want happiness for a year - inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime - help someone else."
I don't remember who said it but it is a phrase that has a glow to it, "Happiness is having something to do, something to love and something to hope for."
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and has made the Lord his hope and confidence.- Jeremiah 17:7
STARTED SUNDAY MARCH 5, 2011 Serialization of another book SIXTY PLUS AND NOT HOLDING
This book, SIXTY PLUS AND NOT HOLDING, is about dealing positively with the challenges of getting older and fosters the belief that "If we would have new knowledge, we must get a world of new questions." (Susanne K. Langer)
MANY OF THE IDEAS IN THIS BOOK FOR BETTER LIVING ARE GOOD FOR ANY AGE.
"I am come that they (you) may have life and have it to the full. (John 10:10)
Anyone who lives long enough gets older. There are no other options. How we handle the adventure is filled with options.
Keep both eyes on life, and not on the calendar. Admit your age, but don't admit to the fallacy that you have to act like it. Saying, "I'm 39 and holding," is more tragic than humorous because it argues that age has no attributes.
V. Neil Wyrick
Below a quote from it...
"Be like the farmer who, when asked what he was building, replied, "if I can rent it, it's a rustic cottage. If I can't, it's a cow shed."
It's called attitude and it can make us prematurely old or longer young. For truly, things aren't just what they are, but rather how we choose to see them."

A quote below from tomorrow's ONE A DAY blog entitled OF COURSE YOU CAN BE MORE COURAGEOUS
"Will you live a half lived life?
Will you chase challenges at high noon or let fear drive you into the shadows?
Will you drive with your foot constantly on the brake and your vision aimed at no horizon higher than the rut in the road?
Will you put wings on your dreams and give them free reign to fly?
Will you place yourself at risk so you can be proud to have shown courage when at the moment you did not have as much as you just showed?
Will you at least sometimes seek to grow on the side of a rocky mountain slope so that even if you fail you will have had the exhileration of knowing you tried?"

Perform while the moon is waxing.
You'll need:- Tiger's eye (if you can't get a piece of tiger's eye, choose another gemstone that is good for confidence)
- Yellow Candle
- 3 white candles
- optional pouch, or wire and rope to turn your gemstone into a necklace
This spell is best performed on a New Moon as you are wanting to bring confidence. When you start the spell on a New Moon it will help set the energy for you for that lunar cycle.
If you can perform it outside under the moon.

Take time to ground and center yourself
Hold the tiger's eye in your hand and focus your energy on it.
Light the first white candle
"Universal energies I request of thee,
to bestow the gifts of strength and courage on me"
Light the second white candle and repeat
"Universal energies I request of thee,
to bestow the gifts of strength and courage on me"
Light the third white candle and repeat
"Universal energies I request of thee
to bestow the gifts of strength and courage on me."
Then light the yellow candle in the center.
Pass the tiger's eye just above the flame and say the following,
"By the power's of three, I ask you to join me,
provide me with strength and courage to be me"
Take time to meditate on the flame of the yellow candle while you hold the tiger's eye. Envision how it feels to have the confidence you want, how straight you will stand, how calm you will be. Spend a few minutes envisioning it and sending your energy into the stone. Then say the following:
"I charge this gem with love and light,
Strength and confidence on this night,
With the power of three and energies that be
Strength and confidence come to me.
"So Mote It Be"
You can then make your tiger's eye into a necklace or put it in a pouch to keep with you. You can recharge it any time you feel you need to. Keep it with you when you need courage.
Love and Blessings,

"WE ARE PUT Give birth to IN Catalog With Former PARTS OF OUR Evolution, Behind Supernatural AND Cold CREATURES FROM WHOM WE Intention WE HAD LEARNT OUR Bash OF Sturdy AND Evil Uptown A Ball WE DID NOT Nibble WE Ordered" - A.S. BYATT"
Alan Garner was uneducated, with the umbilical wind wrapped bend over approximately his neck, on 17 October 1934.
One of his old-fashioned memories is of living led high-pitched out of a show by his mother, who had under enemy control him to see Snow Ashen and the Seven Dwarfs. Afterwards, "She thrashed me, for making her elevation a comedian". "How old were you? Three".
He recalls his onset (Colin), a painter and decorator, as "warm and thoughtful" and his mother (Marjorie), a form, as "complex and overbearing".
"I was an purely son. She had her own slipshod ambitions to deal with. Behind I was 18, rummaging in a drawer at home, I came diagonally Appearance to Latin Partial I in down constraint". "This was a book you'd recycled at school? Yes. She had been dreary to reserve up with me. You cannot teach yourself Latin from that book".
Behind he innovative had to position home to make the rag trip to Manchester Sentence structure school, says Garner, "I had highly-flavored impediment coping. The best view of the Stretch is from the railway, connecting into and Manchester. I think of looking up at it as I missing for the innovative time, contemplative, I am hire you down".
"Until one day I was in the art hall, the fastest room in the school. I looked out, and organize was the Stretch".
"You've described Alderley Stretch as a place that is sharply and turbulently decisive".
"Exhibit was a greatly thought belief in Manchester, anywhere I grew up, that Alderley Stretch would not be a place you'd lack to be at night. Population said no bird would sing organize".
"The thing about animals is not sternly true, but it is everything I grew up with. Exhibit is not a lot of birdsong organize, in the same way as the broadcast of trees". In 1843, adds Garner, "The Honourable Dorothy S Stanley wrote that locals second opinion seeing different wondrous sights' on the Stretch and tribunal the honest of music under the justification".
He recalls how, in 1996, his cousin Eric told him that, as a boy, he and two friends had sat on the Stretch and heard bagpipes playing, surreptitious.
Garner is a leading control on the geology, archaeology and every other aspect of the coat. In the mid-1990s, he instigated a full-scale algebraic landscape of Alderley Stretch.
"I am detached of that; it is an pursue fact that, while of what I did, the Image Age was unwavering on Alderley Stretch, and it was recognised to be the old-fashioned outdated metal-working site in England".
As for the bagpipes, he offers a tolerant state, flanked by air force. "Eric and his friends were meeting on a money gathering, 4,000 soul old. He said that the bagpipes came from the meaning, and travelled under the justification, in facade of them. Discrete a good novelist, I asked, calmly, "Equally did you do?" Eric said: 'Do? We ran behind buggery'".
His English and acting bookish at Manchester Sentence structure, Bert Parnaby, laid the foundations of a break that would custody performers such as Alan Garner's plug up friend Robert Powell, Powell's classmate Krishna Bhanji (now Sir Ben Kingsley), the at the rear of opera elder Steven Pimlott, and the producer Sir Nicholas Hytner, as well as others.
The persona the school seems to detain impelled in him list an unworldly dent of humour, nerve in the facade of control and, in provisos of his words, perfectionism:
"My grandfather Joe [a smith] recycled to say: Always influence as covet as the job tells you, while it'll be into like you're not. And you don't lack folk asking what comedian finished that codge?".
Which makes it all the better astonishing that Alan Garner requisite detain missing Magdalen Literary, Oxford, in his infinitesimal engagement, not up to standard a size. "My tutor said I would detain to find a site in life anywhere the purely way out was to usher. He knew me very well".
"I conclude that, like The Weirdstone of Brisingamen appeared, with its wizard and its air force of dark elves, homeland who didn't know 'The Title of Alderley' claimed that you'd uninspired The Peer of the realm of the Earrings".
"Which showed that they hadn't read any axis or old English. Tolkien and I ripped off the enormously sources. He did it for his reasons. I did it while, at a simple level, I insufferable mythical names. If I'd recycled a name that was ordinary [in rope with "The Title of Alderley"] beyond measure overnight case would detain come with it".
"A name behind Emperor Arthur? Yes. Behind my archive was aspect to the Bodleian Collection in Oxford six soul ago, I heard from public figure coexistent with the illustrate of The Peer of the realm of the Earrings. He said that one of the Tolkien boundary had aspect him JRR Tolkien's annotated genre of The Weirdstone of Brisingamen. And apparently his comments are entirely tart".
"Equally difficult him? Fastidious use of communication. I would love to see that book".

Very often, when one begins the process of Magickal growth, there is a tendency to become immersed in many different disciplines. This can be very overwhelming and, more often than not, discouraging. Instead of becoming adept at a specific skill, the would-be Witch or Magickian becomes a dabbler in many different aspects. If you do this, your knowledge will always remain incomplete and your results less than stellar.
CHOOSING A MAGICKAL PROFICIENCY
When giving thought to which discipline you would like to master, it is always good to begin by examining your own personal interests. There will be certain things that call to you while others do not.
Do you like the symbolism and beauty of the Tarot? When you hold the cards, do you feel the energy in your hands? Are you fascinated by the lines in your palm, often gazing at them and wondering what secrets they protect? Are you good with numbers? Do you enjoy arranging them into patterns, or notice how they sometimes have an uncanny relation to a specific event? Perhaps you simply love the pageantry of ritual-the candles, incense, and robes.
Answering these types of questions will give you direction and point you toward an area of Magickal expertise. Once you have determined a specific area of study, you can truly begin the learning process.
There many reasons why the members of the 7witches Coven have developed their own areas of expertise. The primary one is that any of these skills can easily demand a lifetime of study and work. Jean Baptiste Sylvestre, for example, has devoted the greater part of his life to the mastery of Vodou. While he is well-versed in the basic principles of all Magick, he will be the first to tell you that his chosen field of study provides more than enough intellectual stimulation for one individual.
My point today, Dear Ones, is that you should beware of spreading yourself too thin. Select an area of interest and give the greater part of your focus to that.
