You all got this down I hope? Lovely now lets continue to my own view of the soul.

My Soul is...

I see my soul as a mirror, my past incarnations are divided into the reflections and sides of this mirror. One side one part of wisdom, an emotion, a personality trait...all these things reflect my soul. 

I have been told by so many that I am such a confusing person. "It is so difficult to grasp your personality. One minute you are social and laughing.The next minute you become serious and focus on more important tasks. Its like you become a whole new person" 

Was the words from my teacher a few years ago. He said this in such a way that made me wonder. Do I have multiple personalities? Noo way...I thought that can't be right, sure ok I do talk to myself but who doesn't do that?

Then I thought back to how my life had shaped me. I was bullied, ridiculed, taught things other children my age found disgusting. I found earth worms, beetles and toads cute! They ARE cute! So being serious is one...

Emotions...is another...lets see if I can show you apart of me that is my special mind space, this is also apart of myself and my soul  

This is awfully similar to my mind space, my own hideout inside my...mind...the clucking river, stone altar a distance from the river itself, and where all the paths cross a giant tree...where doors to other worlds open...and I can't forget the waterfall with the cave behind...

You all have your own mind spaces. Maybe it is similar to my forest grove?

How others see the soul?

Some Christians see the Soul as the sacred body that is able to communicate with god. Both our physical and spiritual body is a temple so God can take place and share his love. Henceforth you should treat body and spirit as such a "temple"(translation) = Take care of your body so it will stay healthy, keep a healthy psyche (mind) and you will have a good life.

Some believe the soul is influenced by what our brain does. 

Some believe the soul is a complicated matter of energy, chi,qi..

Quite many who have read fiction, new age and neo paganism since the 60's and 70's Have become more aware of things they never thought of until THAT one story struck a cord within their "soul"?

This train of thought can apply to many awareness groups and I can only mention a few of those I have come across

New Agers, Starseeds, Otherkin, Vampire communities and lifestyles, curious people with spiritual interests and hobbies.

"Dearest child carry many names alike"

This is a saying from my country and the reason why I'm using it here is because it will fit so well.

The Soul has many names, different meanings the same "essential function" and these names are..

Spirit, Astral Self, Higher Self, The You of the Past, Currently yourself, Conscious, Subconsciousness, psyche, apart of the holy ghost..

This is how my current post will end. Because my soul is weary and my words have been sent..

until next time enjoy!

Autumnal Equinoxes and Their Old Mysteries...or is it?

Hi its not been that long since my previous post, but so much has happened the previous weeek. That I find it important to tell you. Some might not even know what an Autumnal/Fall Equinox is...do you? Perhaps you do after all and if you do not know. No worries! Because that is exactly what I will tell you

What is an Equinox? (Bit of Science)

On any other day of the year, the Earth's axis tilts a little away from or towards the Sun. But on the two equinoxes, the Earth's axis tilts neither away from nor towards the Sun.  This occurs every March (Vernal/Spring Equinox) and September (Autumnal/Fall Equinox)

Information borrowed  from .. http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/autumnal-equinox.html

What does the word Equinox mean exactly? 

e·qui·nox

  [ee-kwuh-noks, ek-wuh-]  Show IPA

noun

1.

the time when the sun crosses the plane of the earth's equator, making night and day of  approximately equal length all over the earth and occurring about March 21 (vernal equinox orspring equinox)  and September 22 (autumnal equinox)

2.

either of the equinoctial points.

Origin: 
1350–1400; Middle English  < Medieval Latin equinoxium,  for Latin aequinoctium  the time of equal days andnights ( aequi- equi- + noct-  (stem of nox ) night + -ium -ium)

Ah ha! Clever medieval latin.... you had us there..

So if we are to understand this correctly  Autumnal Equinox is the exact balance between night and day? Quite amazing isn't it?

Harvest Celebrations:

Close to the Autumnal Equinox nears also close to the last harvest from long ago. The last harvest would indicate, that one would get the remainder of the last crops that grew at the end of August, sheered,cut, plucked and butchered (need meat for the winter months!) Prepared for conservation through salt, herbs, smoking, pickled fruits and vegetables in vinegar or alcohol. And lasltly for thousands of years brewing spirits or beer/ale or meade in the northern parts of Europe. Southern Europe had more than enough grapes to make excellent wine from their harvests. 

Why did people use soo much time on just harvest? One because they had no refrigriator, no freezer, they had barrels, clay pots and a bit later glass artifacts especially blown to hold a specific kind of liquid or food. Many homes row upon row with jars, and prepared for the cold winter when all is close to dead. People had to survive didn't they?

Many odd rites and rituals were done,

after the leftover grains had been stomped on the fields. Some traditions say one had to leave some sheaves of grain to the fae or nature spirits who resided in the area. So that they could help with good crops next year. Other traditions include setting out food and some form of alcholic drink to honour and "bless" the field. As it has been taken from the earth a portion is returned in gratitude.

 

Now I happen to know some Wiccans and some Pagans would argue in the modern sense. Due to the fact that they celebrate the first and second harvest as apart of their calendar "The Wheel of The Year."  One cannot fully understand unless one lived in these older days, life was simpler and yet not as simple, many struggled between enough scraps on the table and avoid the next epidemic. However the fact is that thanks to a tiny bit of christianity (believe it or not) the sense and spirit of Harvest Festivities has survived throughout the centuries. Not many longer credit the nature spirits but the christian God. 

I'm most certain you have attended a mass/sermon or ceremony in church around October/November? You have haven't you? You have most likely thanked God at every meal you had with family and I believe Halloween and Thanksgiving..would be the modern versions of these gatherings. 

I will just say this all corners of the world have their own forms of  harvest festivals, Europe,Asia, Oceania, North America, South America, Africa...the whole world...

My personal traditions with the harvest is church sermons. Though in recent years I have tried a more pagan approach. And preffered to give blessings to all the farms in my surrounding area, since I live in the country its only fair to support my community.

Until next time enjoy your Autumn it will stay awhile! 

Starseeds What are they?

Hi everyone its been awhile. And now I will tell you a few things about these Starseeds, what are they? Mm yes thought so...I found it confusing to...well I still find it confusing!

Alright now ready? Good!

Starseeds are "people" who claim to not have had reincarnations on this planet we call earth. Though I have come across some, who do say they have been to Earth a few times already. Their souls are not human in the sense we usually grasp it, they have had lives in other dimensions, galaxies and even on the stars in some constellations we might know all too well...

I will mention some of the ones I have "learned of" though I cannot promise you to believe this right away.

Pleiades/ Pleiadian Starseeds (The Seven Sisters; Star Cluster): 

I'm most certain that you have come across  The Seven Sisters up in the sky, did you ever think that someone else lives there?





Arcturians ( Arcturus is the brightest star; in 
the constellation Boötes ):













Draconian Starseeds: From what I have learned Draconians were originally from another dimension/galaxy. I don't remember exactly where though. The Draconians appears well versed in warfare, magic, politics, wisdom and well some good amounts of ego. But which species doesn't?

Dragone Starseeds: When it comes to Dragones, they seem to have aquired a keen interest in becoming quite power hungry, and even going as far as incorparating human DNA into their own genetics to become a hybrid between human and dragone. And also have a history of clashing with their Draconian opposites.

Orion Starseeds:  I'm not that familiar with Orion Starseeds, but they do claim to have been born in the constellation of Orion the Hunter. If my understanding is accurate they had smaller communities strewn across the eight other stars making image of this hunter we humans know so well.

Sirian Starseeds: 

The Clearest Star in the sky and apart of the constellation Canis Major.Although I'm not certain about what culture nor what language once was apart of this place.















Lyran Starseeds/ Lyra Constellation:

Although a small constellation Lyra has the second brightest star Vega after Arcturus.
Not to familiar with these starseeds either, though perhaps they had a large music and artistic inspired culture?


Andromedan Starseeds/ Andromeda Galaxy: 

We have gotten this far. And now this is a galaxy not just a few clusters of stars in a constellation. But a whole Galaxy, however my knowledge of this society is unknown to me.

Reptilians: Like the other Starseeds I'm sure there are some good and some not so good reptilians. Though if I am to believe what I have heard, one group of Reptilians decided to start a huge war that if they had won. Would have crumbled the universe to ruins, which appears to be the reason why so many starseeds seek to reincarnate on earth. 


Their purpose for being here?

Reason 1: Quite many of the Starseeds I have spoken to. Seems to be on Earth to help humans into something called ascension, or a higher purpose if you will. This ascension will then lead to the earth moving into another dimension of energy frequencies.. According to them, once we have reached this goal. Our planet will become a lot more peaceful. 

Reason 2: Something the Starseeds call the Intergalatic Federation. From what I have gathered floats just above our planet, and we don't even notice them? It appears they protect the Earth from attacks of other Aliens with the goal to destroy or taking over our planet. 

Reason 3: This I just learned of quite recently. Some kind of aliens, are feeding off from the energy of humans. As if we were a wandering buffet. Now I don't understand why? Nor whom these aliens might be. 



At this point in time. I'm still very insecure and uncertain about these Starseeds, I mean I believe in otherkin so why not starseeds? Right?
 Could it be because I'm so fond of this planet and its energies. Outer space is always interesting and fun from planets,stars and constellations, however starseeds living in human bodies...aliens have been helping humans way back in history? That does not fit right with me, I believe us humans of Earth have managed well on our own until now. Is it that wrong to believe we humans are capable of standing on our own two feet..

And let us say these aliens did help us. Why did they leave us then? So we would have to rediscover into even more primitive technology then what these Aliens had spoiled us with ideas? Kill each other in order to expand our cultures...yet we have evolved on our own I'd boldly claim.





Until I find a new box of a bit little less known knowledge to share. Have a good time ahead.
