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.

Remove your hats Gents Ladies if you will we shall hum the Taps for the loss of another great and awesome Site???
And when done with the Taps By Goddess start yelling out the SONG "WE SHALL OVER COME"


It's just been brought to my attention, that not only perhaps one of the Brilliant and wonderful Sites on NING, was just closed down and taken offline.
The Reason for this to me simply put, "CENSORSHIP" It' piss'es me Off that we still have in America, Our rights to freedom of speech only aloud/permitted so long as you go with the Flow My Buddy and Friend is having to delete post
forums, and groups, that was dear to me and I know many others of this SITE???
Stop Internet "CENSORSHIP" If you don't like a site then By Goddess Don't Go there,you don't want an abortion, don't
have one. But for the love of Goddess Take control of your own lives and leave every Fawking one else Alone!
I am Pissed and yes Madder than Hell, All too Often even though I went and presented my life in exchange for the so called rights of freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom to choose !!!
OK yes to some extent we do still live in a country proudly enough to have some Freedom? Freedom so long as it doesn't go against the grains of Another!
Roe vs Wade, most are too young to have any memories of What Women in this Country of Ours, Had to subject themselves to and for what? to stay in their families home, not to be Ostracized, made an Outcast of not only your communities but your families more often than not?
I myself is not old enough to have a memory of the times before women were allowed to Vote and have anything to say outside of the Kitchen? They Damn sure had no Say in the Bed Room?
I am old enough to have memories of Marches I was so very grateful to be a part of to help the African American, gain and keep, exercise their Rights as freemen and women.
And here are today the Fawking 21st century, You give anyone of those Bastards in Congress or some Assholes sitting all nice and smug in their Pews of their Churches the Power to turn the laws of Roe vs Wade and take the freed and now proud and Honorable Black Man and Woman's rights away and I guarantee, Someone would have jumped to doing it on a dime?
Give just one inch in to giving any changes to the freedom of Choice, and you lose a foot?
the Yesterdays are now History, and were there for Practice, the today's are to make aware be strong
because the Tomorrows those are for reals and if someone doesn't stand up and say enough is enough
and place a hold on any freedoms we have today and will want for tomorrow, then the fight is for real.
There are just too damn many peoples out here that absolutely have no lives of their own and as this is true they feel it their Moral, and God given Quest to put away anything that they themselves feel as Inappropriate. and if it comes to infringing on the Rights of another "well it's the Lords work" so it has to be?
I got a Question for these people if it's the Lords work get the fuck out the way and stop playing God/The Lord and let the man do his Fucking job that so many of those ignorant Bastards Pay him for every Sunday when that Collection Plate is Passed !!!
Sorry to anyone but then again If you didn't like what I just said up here on my soap Box then up there on the first Box of Attachments there is in picture so your dumb ass selves don't have to read the picture is of a delete Button delete your Ass away from what you don't like! don't get involved and all saintly and try and run someone Else's lives! you obviously can't take control of your own lives, and then here you are trying to control others lives?
Sorry to All I will step down now and let someone else have a go on the ole Soap Box???

I love you;
Have you said,I love you hundreds to thousands of times only to find it being less effective than your intention?
If that is the case, you may not be surprised to know that there are many more ways to say I love you than verbally expressing it. In fact, there are seven ways to communicate it and three ways your partner can perceive it.
That makes a total of 21 ways to say I love you to someone. WOW, that sounds rather complicated dont you think. Love may be a very splendored thing but it is also a very confusing thing. Lets try to make some sense of it for you.
Of the articles I have read on ways to say I love you I have notice they share many ways to do it. Sort of the shotgun approach to love but not very focused for those of you who want to be effective in your efforts to love someone.
Gary Chapman wrote in his bestseller, The Five Love Languages, if you are not speaking the language of your lover, you are not able to get the message of love through clearly to them.
He named the languages as follows:

Words of Affirmation

Quality Time
Receiving Gifts
Acts of Service
Physical Touch


So, there are five ways so far and in my experience we can add two more:

Unconditional Acceptance
Showering Security
Seven ways to say I love you and again, if you are not saying it the way your partner perceives it, it is like you are not saying it at all. To make it even more interesting, people perceive things either through visual, auditory, or kinesthetic means. Multiply 3 x 7, = 21 different ways to say I love you.
Is it any wonder that there is so much confusion about love and that people search and search for it but never find it. Part of the problem is that you most likely do not even know which way you need to be loved. It takes some introspection to determine your own love preference.
Once you have mastered the art of communicating love, you will be able to recognize in an instant the way anyone you meet needs to be loved. You might want to rekindle the love you have with a partner or be seeking a new love altogether. All your relationships will benefit from your newfound skills.
Imagine the love that could be created in this world if everyone learned how to express it in a way it was received completely.

A cpl years ago I learned that our Public Library here. Has conference rooms and you are allowed to use these Rooms providing you reserve them, and there's no charge to use these rooms and so I started going around and posting fliers on any public and sometimes "Smiles" not so public Bulletin Boards advertising, a meeting to and for all and any Pagans in our community, Believe me, when I say My own Virgoanian Attributes of or should I say lack of Patience was almost the death of this whole project before it ever got it's self Off the Ground. It took some time and it took Patience? But soon people started making their way to these meeting's and before I knew it we were an active group of over 100 ppl. WOW and Stuff Who Knew??? any way's some of the community projects we took on were obviously things that were free?
And you would be Amazed at just what a small group can do in any size community
"FOR FREE" Hell we were Volunteering at the local Homeless Shelter, Hell we even have Adopted a part of the few Highways we have here and even have our groups name on a sign reading this Highway has been adopted by the Pagans Group?"slight name change Here " But you can get an Idea or two from this I hope? So tomorrows Monday, I challenge any of you to go out tomorrow and find some free Place to form a Place to meet and then see what there is in your own communities that can be done for free?

What is it that makes you a pagan?
I'm A Pagan as I'd be too Ashamed to be anything Else?

What do you bring to our table to aide in the networking of Pagan's within our communities?
A personal desire to Network Pagans inside their own communities, making the Mundane world knowledgeable to the fact's that we don't just sacrifice Babies, And eat Animals.

Can you be comfortable with other pagans that do not share in the same beliefs as you do?
Why Not another Individual is nothing more Nothing Less than I as the Individual I am to be!

What do you believe to be a major problem in todays pagan societies?
Todays Pagan seems to find themselves inside a Dilemma, That
put's them inside a position that makes them appear to be different than others of the Mundane World, But no Better than they, and No worse than they.

As a retired Archaeologist/Anthropologist I/E Egg Head, Scientist, anything I suppose
will fit properly, But as such I find most important to myself and my own Beliefs, I've
not ever given in to too many farces as Ghost/Demons, Big Foots/Sasquatch things of
this nature of stories. "Please do not misunderstand me here? I am just as any Other Human ! I do find myself, to loving a good Ghost/Goblin/Demon, story back in the 70's A movie came out some may remember it, Some may just be too young to have been around when the Extremely B Movie came, It was called "the Legend of Boggy Creek", I loved this movie, and even though it was supposed to have been based on true experiences, made it for myself even more to my liking."
However As I've said before I'm still a Scientist, and although Ghost stories have been around as far as I've been able to put together, for as long as mankind first began
to communicate. to one another? I myself Have enjoyed many wonderful stories
over the years.
However There is no true scientific Evidence of the Big Foot nor Ghost or Demons
and with this information in hand I do have to say that all or nothing is to my own beliefs as nill and void as far as Ghost and all go???
Now I do believe there are many things in history? but even more greater the today's and near tomorrows that may perhaps find the evidence and proof for any of this
is what Keeps me so intrigued with Crypto-biology/zoology We are finding and Identifying new things almost at the least three to four times a year?
Did you know that up until around the turn of the 19th century there were only
stories, suburban legends, of some sort of a Giant ape living in Africa but until right around the turn of the century that's all it was, The so called urban legend and stories for the round the camp fires of Safaris, Then with the beginning of the new century and population growths Amazingly The Gorilla was found and Identified.
So I'm not above the research towards any studies to be?
With all this said, I was in Kenya for a brief period some twenty or so years ago and some urban legend had came to my ear, and I heard the word Nomads? I've known of the Siberian legends of a nomadic peoples, and now here in Kenya almost an Identical tale of a people that lived no wheres and were just simply put faceless peoples to come and go through the Area there.
Then I began to study this Issue more closer, I've come to learn more about this Nomad and just what it meant to be a Nomadic person? I was amazed to find that in almost every region of the World have tales of Nomads, The Hebrew was Actually considered a Nomadic Tribe, prior to staking claims to the middle East Now known as Jerusalem? Many Northern Bands Of Europeans Nomads now considered to be the Gypsy, which is not entirely correct? although their lives were similar in the actions
but the Gypsy is set aside from the title of Truly, being a true Nomad because they actually before America was discovered and made accessible travel outside of the Asia minor Northern Europe lands they traveled in. Nomads actually in many cultures around the World are more or less considered to be Ghost/spirits/Demons.
It seems that the cultures that have these Urban Legends tend to feel that to confront a true Nomad face to face would be to give your soul to the Nomad and this being the main reason for nothing more than mere stories are told of these people
What I find most Intriguing about these people and what is believed about them?
is the fact that each of us in our daily lives actually may more often than not come face to face with these people and may never ever Know it?
So When your out and about in your mediocre lives be careful as to who you look into their eyes directly as you may not be able to ever pass along this story?
