[Vampiresofutah] File - finding a donor
Some ideas for you...
1. Finding sources/donors
� Some Ideas & Tips on finding Sources on Sanguinarius's Page.
� Sites on hemachromatosis (basically healthy people who would benefit by being
donors....)
o Throwing out good blood, a U.S. News and World Report article
o IronMan - The Lighter Side of Living with Hemochromatosis! (see especially the
link labelled Fun With Phlebotomy!)
o Iron Overload Diseases Association
(The above sites on hemachromatosis are not of much direct help in actually
finding donors, but you may find it useful to know that such people exist and
constitute a small yet significant portion of the population.)
� My article on Finding donors in the BDSM scene (primarily of use to female
blood-drinkers)
2. Personal ad sites and other places to meet people

Here are some Fund raising ideas you can do at Pagan Pride to make our world greener & show Gaia you still care!
Every dollar plants a Tree! Raising as little as $25.00 in a fundraiser on Pagan Pride day & planting 25 trees will be a gift to the earth & animals that will last lifetimes! This is so easy to do! Even if people all get together & throw in a few dollars that money will start adding up! 25 Trees is a very small goal but even if it was just 25 it really does make a difference.

When a magnitude 6.8 earthquake shook Olympia, Wash., in 2001, shop owner Jason Ward discovered that a sand-tracing pendulum had recorded the vibrations in the image above.
Seismologists say that the “flower” at the center reflects the higher-frequency waves that arrived first; the outer, larger-amplitude oscillations record the lower-frequency waves that arrived later.
“You never think about an earthquake as being artistic — it’s violent and destructive,” Norman MacLeod, president of Gaelic Wolf Consulting in Port Townsend, “But in the middle of all that chaos, this fine, delicate artwork was created.”

![In astronomy, new moon is the first phase of the Moon, when it lies closest to the Sun in the sky as seen from the Earth. More precisely, it is the instant when the Moon and the Sun have the same ecliptical longitude. The Moon is not normally visible at this time except when it is seen in silhouette during a solar eclipse. See the article on phases of the Moon for further details.
The original meaning of the phrase new moon, sometimes still used in non-astronomical contexts, was the first visible crescent of the Moon, after conjunction with the Sun. This takes place over the western horizon in a brief period between sunset and moonset, and therefore the precise time and even the date of the appearance of the new moon by this definition will be influenced by the geographical location of the observer. The astronomical new moon, sometimes known as the dark moon to avoid confusion, occurs by definition at the moment of conjunction in ecliptical longitude with the Sun, when the Moon is invisible from the Earth. This moment is unique and does not depend on location, and in certain circumstances it coincides with a solar eclipse.
The new moon in its original meaning[citation needed] of first crescent marks the beginning of the month in lunar calendars such as the Muslim calendar, and in lunisolar calendars such as the Hebrew calendar, Hindu calendars, and Buddhist calendar. But in the Chinese calendar, the beginning of the month is marked by the dark moon.
Although the new moon is typically depicted as a black circle, its actual phase is a very thin crescent, because the moon does not pass directly in front of the sun (except during an eclipse).
The first phase in the lunar cycle is the new moon. The moon is positioned between the sun and Earth at 12 o'clock. From Earth, the sun and moon appear to be in the same part of the sky and will rise and set together. The side of the moon that receives the sun's light is facing away from Earth, so no moon is visible to us on Earth's surface. On a very clear night, you might be able to make out a faint gray outlined view of the moon. This comes from the light of the sun being refracted off the Earth and back out to the moon.
One day after the new moon, a faint sliver outline can be seen low on the western horizon at sunset. The moon has moved from new to a waxing crescent phase. As the moon continues in its counterclockwise orbit, the crescent grows larger, or waxes. One week later, the moon reaches its second primary phase, the first quarter moon. Accordingly, the moon has moved one quarter of the way around Earth.
Blessed Be,
Theresa

Tools of The Craft Witchcraft and Magick
Tools are visual, symbolic aids that possess no power of their own. If you feel no desire to have some or any tools that are mentioned, don't get them. For many years, the only tools I used for rituals or spells were candles, a candle holder, incense, and sometimes a pen and paper to write something down and burn. They were just as effective as the ones I do with tools.
How can you do a ritual or spell with no tools? It's quite simple, by using your personal power. How meaningful, powerful, and effective any ritual or spell is depends entirely on how much energy YOU put into it. Your personal power is the single most important, and only necessary tool you need. Many who are just starting out feel that they have to rush around going bankrupt to get every tool they see in order to perform a ritual. They feel that it can't be done without them or that the tools themselves contain the energy they need. This is simply not true.
The tools you have should be chosen because you are drawn to them or feel that they will enhance your rituals. They are used as vessels to direct YOUR energy. Something to remember when you begin collecting your tools is that they don't have to be expensive. An athame can be a black handled common kitchen knife (mine is a letter opener). Your pentacle can be drawn on a piece of paper or carved in wood or clay. Don't feel obligated to have to purchase fancy, expensive ones.
Once you have chosen a tool to use for rituals, it should be cleansed and consecrated. After this is done, it should NEVER be used for other purposes. If you use your athame to do a ritual and then go butter your toast with it, it no longer carries any meaning. Although the tools possess no power of their own, they do carry a special symbolic meaning and your energy. After consecration, they have a purpose and therefore should be only be used for that purpose alone.
Personal Power -The Most Important Tool of all
There is one tool in The Craft that surpasses all others. Every other tool ,no matter how expensive, will be useless with out it. When it comes right down to it..it's the only tool you need. That tool is YOUR personal power. To enhance your personal power, you need to exercise it. Practice visualization, concentration and meditation techniques ,and be able to ground and center yourself. No ritual or spell will ever be successful with out personal power.
Athame (ATH-am-EE, ATH-am-ay)/ Sword
The athame is used for commanding and manipulating power and directing the energy raised during rituals and spells. The knife is usually black handled, doubled-edged and dull as it does not actually cut anything on the physical plane. It is for directing energy in a dimension where real knives are useless. Some Witches prefer swords. The athame stands for intellect, right thinking, and calculation. It is linked with the element: fire, and is a God symbol.
Bell
The bell is commonly used to invoke the Goddess. It's also used by some to signify the beginning and ending of rituals. When purchasing a bell make sure the tone is pleasing and special to you. If you ring one and the first thing that comes to mind is maid service, you've got the wrong one.
Bolline
The bolline is the tool used for cutting things in the physical realm. It is commonly white handle and sharp. It is used for harvesting herbs, wands, plants, inscribing symbols on candles and magical tools used in ritual.
Book of Shadows
This is your personal book of spells and rituals. In creating spells and rituals it is important to keep detailed records of the results of your works. The date, time, moon phase, exactly what you used and thoughts on your over all feelings of it once completed. If you found the results of it unsatisfactory or it felt like something should have been different, you will be able to go back and change it. Some Witches (like myself) keep several other things in this book, such as dreams and interpretations, meditation exercises, divination records and a daily journal. Although it is traditional to write your BOS by hand, many keep theirs on disc.
Broom/Besom
This is used to sweep away negative energy to cleanse and purify the area in which a ritual will be done prior to casting the circle. "Jumping the Broom" can be added to handfastings or Beltain/Mayday rituals. It can be used as an instrument of protection by hanging or placing it at the front and back doors to your home. Brooms come in many varieties the straw ones in most stores, to a variety of hand-made ones which are more costly. It is both a Goddess and God symbol. Element- Water.
Cauldron
The cauldron is a symbol of the Goddess. It can be the main focal point in rituals, used for making oils and brews, and for divination such as scrying which is done by filling it with water, entering a meditative state and gazing into the still water (if cold or steam if hot). Another divination used is filling it with water, dripping candle wax in and interpreting the message given by the form the wax takes. The cauldron is usually made of black cast iron and has three legs.
Chalice
A stemmed cup made of brass, silver, crystal or anything that feels right for you. It is a symbol of emotion and fertility. Chalices are used in dedication and initiation ceremonies, holiday rituals to honor the Goddess and God and spell work. It holds water or ritual beverages such as wine, cider or fruit juice for those who do not drink alcohol and minors. It is a Goddess symbol. Element- Water.
Pentacle
A 5 pointed star surrounded by a circle. The top point representing the Spirit, the other 4 North, South, East & West. The circle represents universal wisdom. It's a symbol of protection used in rituals, worn as an amulet & hung over doors. After having numerous mishaps at airports, I drew a small one on a piece of paper and placed it in my luggage. Since then I've never had problems or lost my luggage! Element- Earth
Wand
Used for focusing energy, invocation and drawing a ritual circle or other symbols on ground or sand. Many different types of wood can be used for a wand such as willow, elder and oak, to name a few. Any branch which is fairly straight works just fine. Some like to decorate their wands by engraving symbols on them, tying leather straps to the handle, attaching a quartz crystal on the end and so one. Your wand should reflect you. With that in mind, be creative and enjoy the experience of crafting and bonding with yours. Element- Fire
Along with the tools described above, it's a good idea to keep a stock of the following other items: candle holders, candles in a wide variety of colors, a good assortment of incense, fabric in various colors to make mojo bags and sachets, a compass, various colors of thread (preferably cotton), herbs, dried plants and spices, salt, and an assortment of jars and bottles to store various herbs and oils.

MOON IN LIBRA
Rock and roll! Who says the cosmos doesn’t have a sense of humor? Uranus, known as the Great Awakener makes an exact square with Pluto the transformer today. (Think change, big change!) This is the 4th of 7 exact squares occurring between 2012 and 2015 between these two planets. We’ve been through it before so this is not a new energy. However, each time they connect it’s as if the world and our minds open and get kicked up to a new level of thinking. Adjusting our sights to know just what structures need to go and which new ideas need to be embraced and actualized can be a rewarding challenge.
But here is where some of the cosmic fun comes in. Retrograding Mercury, the Sun and Mars can’t resist joining this eccentric party. Mercury and the Sun join forces to initiate even deeper psychological and intellectual insights. Because both are at 9 Scorpio, they also connect with both Uranus and Pluto. Go deep! They also make a connection to Mars which energizes thinking and conversations. The Moon in Libra plays an important role too – part referee, part instigator. She is encouraging us to re-claim the shadow parts of ourselves and to find a new balance and equilibrium.
Daily Muse: Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. (Howard Washington Thurman)

The Yin Yang symbol is more influenced by eastern spirituality than contemporary Pagan or Wicca, but it does bear mentioning. The Yin Yang can be found all over the place, and is perhaps one of the most commonly recognized symbols. It represents balance - the polarity of all things. The black and white parts are equal, and each surrounds a dot of the opposite color, showing that there is balance and harmony within the universe's forces. It is the balance between light and dark, a connection between two opposing forces.
Sometimes the white portion appears at the top, and other times it is the black. Originally believed to be a Chinese symbol, the Yin Yang is also a Buddhist representation of the cycle of rebirth, and of Nirvana itself. In Taoism, it is known as the Taiji, and symbolizes Tao itself.
Although this symbol is traditionally Asian, similar images have been found in the shield patterns of Roman centurions, dated back to about 430 c.e. There is no scholarly evidence as to a connection between these images and the ones found in the Eastern world.
The Yin Yang might be a good symbol to invoke in rituals calling for balance and harmony. If you seek polarity in your life, or are on a quest for spiritual rebirth, consider using the Yin Yang as a guide. In some teachings, the Yin and Yang are described as a mountain and a valley -- as the sun climbs over the mountain, the shady valley is illuminated, while the opposite face of the mountain loses light. Visualize the shift in sunlight, and as you watch the light and dark exchange places, what was once hidden will be revealed.
Blessed Be,

INVOCATION
O Angel Ari-Ya-El,
In your garden
Thousands of new galaxies
Bloom every morning.
And Angels, from star to star,
Jump through the worlds.
O Ari-Ya-El,
My heart is calling you,
Your name shines in my night,
My dreams spiral toward you,
O Angel Ari-Ya-El,
In a whirlwind of joy
Your pulse lifts me up and takes me
To the source of celestial loves.
GUARDIAN ANGEL ARI-YA-EL
In Akkadian, the name Ari-Ya-El literally means, "The presence of living beings on this earth, simple and naked," or "Earthy physical sensibility radiates outward, toward the Divine Presence."
Have you ever wished people could return to a simpler time, when men were men and women were women, and instinct took care of the details? You can. Just stay close to those in harmony with Angel Ari-Ya-El. Earthy and secure, natural and nature loving, these enviable women and men are able to experience freely the simply joys of life on earth, to allow themselves to experience physical pleasure without guilt, and to enjoy the blis of an endless innocent, happy childhood.
The guardian of every natural instinct and spirti, Angel Ari-Ya-El awakens and enhances the happy vibrations of nature, make birds sing and leaves rustel, lights up the colors of flowers, enhances the tast of fruit, softens the strokes of lovers. Needless to say, for those in this guardian's protection, life is a bountiful garden where everything in it lies waiting to be discovered, tasted, touched, breathes, admired, loved. The cupids that fly through the air, unabashed by their innocent nudity, or that wait in the branches to stimulate romantic passion with the point of their arrows are a testimony to the springlike freshness and purity of emotions awakened by Angel Ari-Ya-El.
Of course, there are limits to natural living in the contemporary world. Angel Ari-Ya-El doesn't intend for you to march naked into the office or proposition and attractive co-worker, claiming that Cupid made you do it. In fact, those born between October 31 and November 4 will feel this powerful Angel's influence in many different ways. They will see, for instance, that their life on this earth is not a punishment but a happly sojourn. They will welcome their earthly companions-including animals, plants, single-celled organisms, and even minerals-as the sublime and loving gifts of a bountiful Creator. And most of all, with Ari-Ya-El's encouragement, they will truly live in the moment, enjoy the present, and live each second of their lives as it unfolds, without clouding it with comparison to the past or aspirations for the future. For those people, the garden of Eden blooms at their doorsep, each morning the sun brightens the sky with a new light; each day is a rebirth.
If you are one of the lucky few born under the protection of Angel Ari-Ya-El, you may apear to others as if you lack ambition. In this world, where so many are striving for some ineffable joy that will, they hoep, materialize someday in the future, your innocence joie de vivre can look like a waste of time. By invoking Angel Ari-Ya-El, you will receive a remedy for the undeserved judgment of others, particularly those who don't understand the value of stopping to smell the flowers.
Depending on time and circumstance, you and all of those close to Ari-Ya-El will find peace in a rural setting, by joining a community that is close to nature, or by participating in clubs that allow you to explore and observe the natural world. The harmonic vibrations of Angel Ari-Ya-El encourage men and women to seek out, everywhere and in all circumstances, the source and origin of things. Therefore, you will never be contented living a life of pure contemplation. Instead, you will find a way you can live in empathy with life on earth but explore it like an eage, rising up on the currents of your interest, locating the answers to life's mysteries from above. If circumstances permit, you may literally take to the air and survey your surroundings by plane, hot air balloon, or glider. You may even get your pilot's license. Whether you choose to take your search off the gound or not, Angel Ari-Ya-El bestows upon you and all of those in his/her kinship the ability to elevate themselves, to keep a lofty persepective on things, and to seek out the natural influences on every aspect of life, from the way the moon governs the tides to the effects of DNA on your daily behavior.
Sometimes, those under the protection of Angel Ari-Ya-El, when they are well integrated in contemproary society, may choose an inner path to express their vision. This enables them to draw strength and knowledge from the natural model while living a moders, perhaps urban, life. Wherever you make your home, Angel Ari-Ya-El encourages an empathy toward a natural environment, one in which the things your uncover outdoors are brought in to become functional objects or beautiful design elements.
With the help of Angel Ari-Ya-El, men and women express their love of life by improving life on earth, creating objects that emulate plants, animals, or other natural things, or preserving the natural resources of their planet.
The harmonic vibrations of Angel Ari-Ya-El, amplified by invocatio, exalt all sensations, give all emotions a radiating power, and refine thoughts. Those under the protection of Angel Ari-Ya-El intuitively and subtly perceive that everything that is born and grows on earth has its source in the heavens.
In supreme harmony with Angel Ari-Ya-El, men and women reinforce their loving ties with all of nature, extend their symbiotic union to the whole planet, and embrace all of the suns and planets of the cosmos in the warmth of their passion. Then, when their hearts are filled with wonder, stars flower in the fields of night, suns propel rays of life, and constellations unroll spirals of love.

Healing, Love and Lust.
Daisy can be used in love spells and to bring a uncontrollably sexual desires unto you or toward you.
Medical Uses;
Antispasmodic, Reduces Chest Colds, Coughs, Conjunctivitis, Reduces Sweats, Swelling and Bruising
All the parts of the Daisy is eatable and can be used in foods and drink.
The plant and flowers of the Daisy can be made into a tonic for chest colds and coughs due the antispasmodic properties.
A infusion using whole Daisy and water, (distilled is best) makes a good wash to soothes conjunctivitis.
A poultice made from the leave and flowers can be applied to wounds to sooth and bruises to lesson the swelling as well as bruising.
For thousands of years the root from the Daisy has been used to reduce the sweating caused from tuberculosis. I can be taken in tonic form.

![How do we awaken? How do we transcend?
The answer lies in practice. Practice practice practice every day, even if there are days where you don't feel like it. Meditate every day. Pray. Go for nature walks. "I'll be fine today if I skip my meditation" the mind says. "I'm not currently feeling stress so I don't have a reason to discipline or silence myself" the mind says. Discipline of the mind and body is absolutely essential to spiritual progress (if we can speak of it as being a progression). What choices are you making today, and which ones will you make tomorrow? Will you choose to give yourself 5 minutes of silence before breakfast? Will you choose to shut off the television and go outside instead? Will you choose to make healthy choices, to think positive thoughts, and to bring your awareness back to this present moment? Will you daydream your day away, or will you take time to slow down the movement of thinking to allow yourself to see the divine perfection in every aspect of your life? Will you choose to let your thoughts run your life?
We are all guilty of not practicing as much as we should, I as much as anyone else. Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.
Are we awake, or are we just flirting with the idea of being awake?
You have the power and will to do this.
You are the chooser.
You are the observer.
You are the Mighty I Am.
