Hello John Walsh. Welcome to the board. Are you really a "warlock" (or do you just play one on TV )

Anyway, glad you're here. Can't wait to hear more of your story and more of your obviously fiesty gf's escapades.

Soothe Sayings

by MsMcDucket in

after reading john walsh's post, it made me think of things that my mother used to say, like:.

what you do in the dark will come to light!.

everything that is known in not told, and everything that's shiny is not gold!.

Brigid

but what you get with love, you can keep with love:)

*sigh* that is so beautiful. Everything is so so beautiful....oh, now where was I?

Oh, something my grandmother used to say: "You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar".

Hello and welcome. As stated above, you will find a variety of philosophical and spiritual points of departures here. I enjoy any intelligent conversation but avoid loopish or circular logic.

Love and Light,

i've been reading here for the past few weeks, but have visited from time to time over several years.. short history, i started studying in 1993, was baptised in 1996, and succinctly and with much planning disassociated myself in october, 2003.. i don't believe i have any lasting psychological damage or issues, but i was curious about the state of the wtbts (or whatever they go by these days), and i found your site and a lot of information that, i have to say, i found shocking at first like - oh my goddess, they really did that?

- kind of thing.. anyway, nice to have read your posts and i really enjoy the sense of community here.

Alpheta,

Small, but meaningful, moments of joy...

by daystar in

in my office building we have a cafeteria that is run by another company.

there is this one mexican woman who has just the most pleasant demeanor, every day.

she greets everyone with a smile and a "how are you today, my friend?".

Brigid

Love on
Luv On!

Okay, if we must....and we must, I am sure.

I believe there are at the root of all things only two real forces...Love and Fear. Unfortunately, we mostly live out of a base of fear and approach even potential Love with fear; blocking it. Let all that go. Tell that special person what you are thinking. Nothing real can be harmed...nothing unreal exists.

Keep the faith. The layers are there for a reason but true love and connection are undeniable forces. Absolutely undeniable.

i thought this would be easier.

the other thread got bogged down by the images, so i have removed the photos.

this tends to change the clarity a bit, but it is a lot easier to access and the speed is an nice.

Brigid

We had very little choice in the matter. We were drawn to each other. I am very much in love with her...

**Blush** Yep, you know all those silly "crush" threads??? Well, turns out, we weren't kidding (ourselves or anybody else).

Life is so good.

All in love,

~Brigid

p.s. So, if you're thinking someone on here is interesting pm them!! You never know....

Tarot readers

by PrimateDave in

i'm new to tarot.

i just got a hanson-roberts (similar to rider-waite-smith) tarot deck last week, and i have been getting familiar with the cards.

i also got a book, the complete tarot by teresa michelsen.

Brigid

Dave,

I am way way way behind on my readings (my apologies to all who have pm'd me for readings--I am working on it). The 7 of cups can have a different meaning than just illusory/fantasy. What deck are you using? One of the main things to remember is the numerology esp. in regards to the question you asked. 7 is the number of spirituality. Time to leave off illusory spiritual pursuits and climb to that castle in the corner of many of the 7 of cups cards? A call to higher consciousness. Now what you must ask yourself in light of this (and by no means only) interpretation of this is what does officially da-ing yourself do for you? Only you can answer this. Is it necessary for your spiritual growth? Again, this is just one interpretation.

The 7 of cups for me in particular usually leaves off the usual reading of fantasy and has a very deep spiritual meaning for me. Your own interpretations and impressions will grow as you work with this wonderful medium.

Love and Light,

~Brigid

When You and He embrace and neither is quite certain where the One leaves off and the Other begins.

Wow, this is so weird because I just experienced something like this this morning. I have been going through some good amount of pain related to missing loved ones (although, paradoxically (sp?) I have also been experiencing unbounded joy from other sources--new found freedom and connections). This morning I was sitting in my office before anyone got there and weeping at my desk in a quiet moment. This was really really early. The "cleaning lady", Rho discovered me and we just chatted and I spilled all my baggage to this lovely, wise stranger. She left and came back a little while later with roses and a beautiful card signed "Rho, the cleaning lady"--I said, you are an angel to me this morning and we embraced as sisters, though this is the first time we've ever met, we connected and I was warmed by her radiant Light. And no doubt, I will pay it back either to her or someone else who finds themselves weeping and fearful.

Great thread!
