Gaea Bleeds
Ages gone and eons past,
before the stars were formed,
when emptiness was dark and vast,
from Chaos Nature's born.

Ancient Gaea, Mother Earth,
bore sons, the Sea and Sky.
Then plants and beasts did venture forth,
under Nature's watchful eye.

Time marched on, as Time will do.
Mankind came on the scene.
Primitive, but still he knew,
the bounty Nature brings.

Still, Time rolled on as ever in seasonal rebirth.
Man revered the Mother,
and cared for all on Earth.

Man progressed and mechanized,
polluting Sea and Sky.
He raped and pillaged Mother Earth,
ignoring Nature's cries.

Gaea watched Her children well,
providing for their needs.
But Mankind threw Her gifts away,
and now poor Gaea bleeds.

The Wise Woman's Stone

A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime.

But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman. "I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious."

"Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."

Heaven

A pagan died and much to her surprise found herself facing St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. He greeted her, "Hello and Welcome." She stared at St. Peter in confusion. "Wait a minute, I was supposed to end up in the Summerlands."
He smiled, "You must be one of our Pagan sisters. Follow me." St. Peter gestured for her to follow and turned down a small path that went through the gates and meandered to the left. They walked for a short while, then St. Peter stepped the side and gestured her forward.
Looking past his hand she saw the verdant fields and forests of her desired Summerlands. She saw people dancing, feasting and making merry just as she expected. While shaking her head in wonder, the Pagan happened to glance over to one side and saw a small group of people a short way away form the edge of the Summerlands. The people in the group were watching the revelers, but not joining them. Instead, they were screaming and weeping piteously.
The Pagan looked at St. Peter. "Who are those people?" St Peter replied, "Them? They're the Fundamentalists. They're a bit surprised to see you all here, so they stand there and carry on like that all day." "Why? Don't they have better things to do?" St. Peter leaned on spiratorially toward her. "They don't really have a choice. They're actually in Hell."
"God doesn't like being told what He thinks."

Magickal Names

A magickal name can be most powerful if it is obtained using Gematria (the magick of numbers and letters). Here is a general guide:

* 1= A J S
* 2= B K T
* 3= C L U
* 4= D M V
* 5= E N W
* 6= F O X
* 7= G P Y
* 8= H Q Z
* 9= I R

This is only one form of Gematria, there are many out there. The number of the name you come up with should equal the combination of your birthday.

Example, say your birthday is June 23 1947

6+2+3+1+9+4+7=32= 3+2=5

Your magical name would be most powerful if it added up to equal 5. You add up your name the same way the birthday was added up using the number code at the top for the numerals.

This poem was written by Raven's daughter for a school project on Racism & Prejustice.

In my room, there is a box,
a box of crayons, sixty-four to be exact,
not counting the broken pieces.

There is no fighting among the colors;
they just live peacefully in the box.

Red lives with orange and yellow, as her neighbors.
Blue lives peaceably between lime and tangerine.

Sixty-four unique and individual colors,
all together in one box.
No wars over who is prettier or more special.
No arguments over who should live where,
or with whom.
Even the broken pieces are chosen as needed,
to complete my latest work of art.

Now imagine,
if the world we live in were like a box of crayons,
and we all just got along...

Pooh Ritual

~Author Unknown~

**Just a short note on this Pooh Ritual. This was received by Raven via e-mail. It had been forwarded many, many times and the original author could not be ascertained. If you know of the ORIGINAL author of this work, please contact Raven.

Here is a little Parlor Trick that was picked up many years ago in my travels. I don't normally do these kinds of things, but I find this one fun. You don't even need to be of the magickal sort to perform it (that's why it's a Parlor Trick).

Use a normal deck of cards

1. Have the person you are doing the reading for, shuffle the cards twice.
2. Cut the deck in half yourself and put the top half in the back of the deck.
3. Ask the age of the person and count out that many cards and place them in the back of the deck.
5. Have the person ask you a yes or no question.
6. Again, count out the same number of cards as before and the last card will be your answer card.

Red = yes
Black = no

Here is a little something my friend Janet sent me, I do not know who the original author is, but I thought is was funny, so I have included it here. Thanks Janet!!
