CHIVALRY HIGH CODE OF HONOR Insofar as the Craft of the Wise is the most ancient and most honorable creed of humankind, it behooves all who are Witches to act in ways that give respect to the Old Gods, to their sisters and brothers of the Craft, and to themselves. Therefore, be it noted that: Chivalry is a high code of honor which is of most ancient Celtic Pagan origin, and must be lived by all who follow the Old ways. It must be kenned that thoughts and intent put forth on this Middle-Earth will wax strong in other worlds beyond, and return... bringing into creation, on this world, that which had been sent forth. Thus one should exercise discipline, for "as ye sow, so shall ye reap."

It is only by preparing our minds to be as Gods that we can ultimately attain godhead.

"This above all...to thine own self be true...."

A Witch's word must have the validity of a signed and witnessed oath. Thus, give thy word sparingly, but adhere to it like iron.

Refrain from speaking ill of others, for not all truths of the matter may be known.

Pass not unverified words about another, for hearsay is, in large part, a thing of falsehoods.

Be thou honest with others, and have them known that honesty is likewise expected of them.

The fury of the moment plays folly with the truth; to keep one's head is a virtue.

Contemplate always the consequences of thine acts upon others. Strive not to harm another.

Though there may be differences between those of the Old Ways, diverse covens and circles may well have diverse views. These views, even if they are different than yours, should always be given respect. When a coven, circle, clan, or grove is visited or joined, one should discern quietly their practices, and abide thereby.

Dignity, a gracious manner, and a good humor are much to be admired.

As a Witch, thou hast power, and thy powers wax strongly as wisdom increases. Therefore exercise discretion in the use thereof.

Courage and honor endure forever. Their echoes remain when the mountains have crumbled to dust.

Pledge friendship and fealty to those who so warrant. Strengthen others of the Brethren and they shall strengthen thee.

Thou shalt not reveal the secrets of another Witch or another Coven. Others have laboured long and hard for them, and cherish them as treasures.

Those who follow the mysteries should be above reproach in the eyes of the world, and should always seek to make this so.

The laws of the land should be obeyed whenever possible and within reason, for in the main they have been chosen with wisdom for the well-being of all.

Have pride in thyself, and seek perfection in body and in mind. For the Lady hath said, "How canst thou honor another unless thou give honor to thyself firstly?"

Those who seek the Mysteries should consider themselves as select of the Gods, for it is they who lead the race of humankind to the highest of thrones and beyond to the very stars.

Papa Raven and His Devilish Angels !!!
Find your own voice today... "Shakespeare Once said What's in a name ? A Rose by any other shall still smell As SWEET !" So many through out the last 2000 yrs have argued and even went to Battle over the Understandings of Just one Book " The Bible " Blood has been spilled from so many through out the History of this Book? And Yet here we are in a new millennium, And We as Pagans are coming to Blows over simply what is what, who is who In Paganism, Some feel this way some believe that way, One thing of Commons " As the Christians Have their Bible to argue over to what it say's to what it means" Pagans Are beginning to follow down I'm afraid the same Path, Wicca is a religion, Wiccan are Pagans, Witches are Wiccan, Pagans are all Witches, Anyone beginning, to see Some similarities here as yet??? Again Why can't Individuality find it's Home to Race, Religion, Sexuality, If more would but only accept the fact that there are no two Individuals going to be Identical, Not in their eating habits, their sexuality, and most of All not in Their Religious Beliefs. We are as Individual in Religion as our very own DNA, our fingerprints, there are no two going to be the same? Want/need proof I/E an Example? Just look around you and your communities, There is almost a church, on every street corner And the worse of this is the fact that 98% percent of these Churches are all teaching and believing from the Very Same Book ! " The Bible " Whats even worse is through out history lives have been lost over the fact that simply put, No two Individuals, Are going to believe the same way! Oh yeah there are Beliefs and Ideas to which a few may feel comfortable with I/E you have the Catholic, Baptist, Pentecostal, Same goes for Us as well " And Mind you I'm speaking to me as well as I've on a number of times forgetting all of this, myself? " you got your Gards"theirs is the only true way, the Alexandrian's, Witches, Wiccan's, Pagans, I don't know what is expected to happen but we have history to look back upon to realize no path is the one and only true path, Christian or Pagan We are all Individuals and we have truly only one true Commonality that is " We're Humans" outside of that box, there are apples and oranges " perhaps even a cpl Bananas as well, But We are in need of some real Decision making are we to repeat History and Break Down as other religions have? Are we going to Break Down as other Societies have or are we to make History by accepting the facts as they are ? And these facts Are there can be two mommies or two daddies, their can be Hebrew with Muslims, A Wiccan can be a religion, A Pagan can Be anything outside of other lifestyles? A Gardinerian can be a Gardinerian "smiles" the Words as comical as they sound " Can't We All just get Along" Really needs to be asked amongst Ourselves????
Jest the Ramblings, Of an Ole Man !!!

Labels limit us; "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be."
How do you define yourself, to yourself and others? Are you first and foremost a husband/wife? A mother/father? A bus driver, dentist, musician ...? A Christian, Moslem, Jew ...? A nag, joker, dreamer...? Be aware that any label puts limits on you. Today, experience how it feels to let go of the labels to rest in ‘I am.’ Feel the freedom, the spaciousness, and the infinite potential of simply being. "

To All Of you To each of you of my personal inner circle of friends and to as well all of my extended Pagan Family.
It's not been for some time now that I've been in battle with cancer, And as I am feeling much better today than days gone by, but none the less I'm still fighting?
And I' myself Have never ever truly feared Death as I'm perfectly comfortable with what is to happen at that point? However I do find somewhat a fearful fear of Pains that at times are attributed with the whole transformation of this death thingy? "smiles" However I was released from the Hospital Friday last, But as I and others had made it a date to quit smoking together on May 31st. Seems that during my past stay in
the Hospital for 9days and being smoke free for that period, have decided to not go and pick up another cigarette. and so it's been 14 days now that I've not smoked?
I while in the hospital had some time to read up on some helps on quitting smoking? One called triggers
points which are personal traps and setups for failures, more or less psychological modes of failures.
One of my many things that I've done in the past, since my family hasn't allowed me to smoke in the house was to stay in my Office at my computer for hours on end smoking? and as this has been the case
I've feared dreadfully that my coming to my ofc and getting online would be a great danger with many triggers happening and so it's taken me til today to come in and face up to my responsibilities towards you
you all of my Family. But today I've been smoke free for 15 days now and I'm even learning when and how to recognize triggers for what they are and how they're working on me. and even coming up with some ingenious ways to ward off these triggers...
And so I'm back now online for all of you my loved ones and OMG'dess for all of these get well soon cards from so many of you I can Only say Wholly Shit BatMan ??? "smiles"
I've many a mail to catch up on but for now consider this my generic version of thank yous and gratitude's
to each and everyone one of you to which have been sending so much wonderfully needed energies and well wishers?
I can honestly say I've missed you all and I am for this to not be the only reason but far the greatest reason of my joys of being back online with you all...
I Love each and Everyone here and there and in Kansas TOO!!!!
HUGZ & LUVZ

In astrology people born on the 28th of August come under the sign of Virgo. The Virgo sign or symbol is the Virgin. The sign of Virgo is associated with the constellation of Virgo and is related to the sun occupying the tropical zodiac between the 23rd of August and the 22nd of September. The element associated with this star sign is earth and the planetary body believed to rule the personality of Virgos is Mercury. In terms of characteristic traits people born under the sign of Virgo are believed to be intelligent, controlled, diligent, modest, self sufficient and analytical. Virgo subjects are primarily governed by Hamaliel, who is the Angel of August. Hamaliel provides humankind with an unflagging energy to achieve those projects and dreams which require the application of stamina and determination. When life itself proves to be overwhelming and too demanding, this Angel affords the fortitude needed to complete given tasks. He also encourages individuals to think in an orderly and logical manner. Often referred to as the "Angel of Perseverance" or the "Angel of Logic," Hamaliel is one the Rulers of the Order of Virtues and is the secondary Guardian Angel of Leo natives born during the month of August. August 28 through September 1: This period of time is governed by the Angel Vasairiah, who is an Angel of Accuracy. Vasairiah rules over justice, nobility, magistrates and lawyers. He helps humankind to achieve high positions which result in excellent financial and materialistic support. Those who fall within the jurisdiction of this Angel are realists, not dreamers. They possess a great deal of common sense and rely far more on judgment than they do on intuition. Blessed with logical and practical minds, these individuals have excellent memories. However, they have no patience for those who are ruled by emotions. Virgo is the critic of the Zodiac...the analyst and the purist. Individuals ruled by this Sign are the servants, custodians and perfecters of culture, in search of complete realization of the mind. They are logical, practical and methodical, possessing a strong sense of order and organization, coupled with a love of technological advances and anything associated with the state of the art. Virgo natives have a tendency to allow their intellect to subrogate their instincts, but they are theorists and masters of extrapolation and deduction. In short, those governed by this Sign of the Zodiac are nothing short of perfectionists. They want their environments, as well as their lives, to be neat and tidy. They excel in sorting the "wheat from the chaff" and delight in planning, sorting, classifying and storing. Usually very serious individuals, Virgo subjects are indefatigable workers with a strong sense of duty. Their need to serve and be useful is so strong, that they often suffer greatly when such is thwarted. This characteristic, together with the inherent capacity for critical insight, makes for adept healers. However, because Virgo individuals are frequently blessed with superb manual skills, they also make for fine technicians. Subjects of this Sign are rooted in the present and amenable to change only after meticulous forethought. In short, they will not willingly court disappointment. A Virgo may criticize your statements with hairsplitting arguments which drive you wild, but if you are in a jam, he'll also quickly step in to turn things right side up again • with no motive except to serve. If the job you tackled has you so bogged down in boring details you despair of meeting the deadline, Virgo will roll up his sleeves and pitch in willingly. It's not ego that makes him itch to take over when things are in a shambles. It's just that his orderly Mercurial mind can't stand procrastination, neg­lected details or confusion of purpose. He may even straighten things out before he's asked, with no intention of rudeness, because bringing order out of chaos is in­stinctive with him. He's the kind of guest who will happily help the hostess clean up after the party. Virgo is the sign of the virgin, but you can’t take the symbolism too literally. I can assure you that a September birthday is no guarantee of virginity. Although lots of Virgos remain bachelors and spinsters, there are also plenty who finally settle into connubial bliss. They may not do so with any sudden burst of fire and passion, because marriage is not a natural state for the Virginian nature; yet it’s surprising how many of them master its teamwork, and they’re almost always devoted to their families. Married or single, it’s fairly simple to spot the Virgo in public. For one thing, he won’t be making much noise. He’s not exactly garrulous, and he’ll stand out as a loner. See that gentle, attractive man over there in the corner, with the theasaurus under his arm? The one with the tick-tock mind, clicking away the hours neatly and methodically noticing the smallest details? If you look closely, you can almost see him measuring each minute for what it’s worth. He’s a Virgo. See that quiet girl with the beautiful soft eyes, waiting for the bus? Notice her spick-and-span white gloves, her cool manner. She’ll have the exact coins for the fare ready in her hand. She wouldn’t dream of asking the bus driver to change a five dollar bill. She’s a Virgo.
