![Mistletoe: The Golden Bough
Let us look to ancient Sun worship - particularly that of the Celtic Druids - to understand how mistletoe became an icon of the winter holidays in the northern hemisphere.
The Celtic Druids were skilled in herbal medicine and magic, and mistletoe was by far the most sacred of their magical plants. It grew amongst the branches of the sacred trees, seemingly without sustenance. Having no roots, and thus no connection to the Earth, it was considered the sacred plant of the Sun.
A tree that hosted a mistletoe plant was marked as particularly sacred by the gods. With its golden color, and habit of growing high off the ground without roots, mistletoe was naturally associated with the Sun. Or, more specifically, it was considered to be the sperm of the solar deity Taranis, and the promise of the sun God’s rebirth.
Mistletoe was thought to take on the properties of its host tree, including the tree's essence and power. The most powerful mistletoe grew on the sacred oak.
When weather turned cold and leaves dropped from deciduous host trees, the sacred leaves and waxy white berries of mistletoe were revealed. In this was seen a promise of the return of the Sun.
During the time of the Winter Solstice, branches would be harvested with great ceremony and used for a variety of medicinal and magical purposes. These purposes included: protection from lightening, curing of poisoning, protection from fire, treatment of epilepsy, protection of livestock from fairy mischief, and protection of babies from witches curses.
An old English superstition held that as long as a sprig was retained in the home, so love would be retained. It became popular in some households to insure that a fresh sprig was hung in the household every year. This is probably the origin of the kissing ritual.

Undine The beautiful nymph Undine rises from her watery depths bearing gifts of plants and water creatures to enhance our world. In her hand she holds an ancient artefact, an offering from Neptune, meant to inspire the imagination and lift the spirits of the harpist. Her crown of candles illuminates the waterfall of life cascading from her hair to surround the harpist with gentle currents of comfort and peace.

Snowman craft using socks and rice. Cute! Cut a new white sock at the heel. Take the leg part, turn it inside out and tie an elastic tightly on one end. Flip it again so the knot become the base. Pour rice into the sock. Take two elastics, one to create the neck, the other to tie off the top. Glue on beads for the face (or map pins) and buttons for the body. Take the toe part of the sock, turn it inside out. Create a little hat and attach. Sewing a few stitches will work. Tie on a piece of fabric for a scarf and you're done. www.workingwitches.com

I am excited to announce that this January, I will be featured in a Free 7-Day Online Seminar, Start the New You Now (5 preview videos available now). My interview was a true heart-to-heart with Hay House president Reid Tracy. Using events from my own life as examples, I explore how I was able to accomplish significant things through thinking small rather than big. When embarking on a journey to change the rest of your life, start by holding a vision of who you want to be and simply take each day as it comes.
Here is a link to the site http://www.hayhousenewyounow.com/
I also offer gentle, practical advice on fulfilling one's dharma and not interfering with the cycle of life, explaining the role of attention and intuition in manifestation, and delving deep into the meaning behind this saying: When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
Joining me in this incredible, free online seminar are some wonderful teachers– Louise L. Hay, Gregg Braden, Dr. Christiane Northrup, and Marianne Williamson to name a few. This event starts on January 11th, but you can access 5 free Preview videos now. Please share with your friends.

Spiritual and Magical Philosophies
*Magic is not as complicated as many would have you believe. What we concentrate on, we manifest.
Where our thoughts lead, our hearts follow.
As the old adage goes, ‘As within, so without, as above, so below’. To change your environment, your circumstances and your path, you must change yourself.
Nothing is purely ‘external’. All dwells within.
It is the truly Wise who recognize that the glory of change lies within ourselves.
Magic is just the key that turns the lock of our minds. - BW
“The Universe and everything in it constitutes God.
The Universe is a gigantic human organism and man is a tiny image of it, a toy replica of God. Because he is a miniature of the Universe, by a process of spiritual expansion, a man can mystically extend his own being to cover the entire world and subject it to his will – (macrocosm, microcosm).
It is because all things are aspects of ONE thing that all things are grist to the magician’s mill.
The complete man, who has experienced and mastered all things, has vanquished Nature and mounted higher than the heavens; He has reached the Centre where man becomes God.
The achievement of this is the Great Work, the supreme magical operation, which may take a lifetime or many lifetimes to complete”.

Highly Sensitive & the Holiday Season
You are a highly sensitive person and the energy is very intense right now. Holiday stress and the full moon is making people emotionally charged.
Be sure to clear and shield yourself, and avoid harsh situations as much as possible (for example, avoid crowded shopping malls). Here is my free video to help you shield and clear with Archangel Michael.
Also, a good detox from any chemicals that exacerbate your sensitivity (avoiding or reducing alcohol, caffeine, gluten, sugar, etc.) will clear your mind, and help you to regain your magic touch for 2014.
You are in my prayers.

A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend.
vThe attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump.
"Reverend," said the young man, "I'm so sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip." The minister chuckled, "I know what you mean. It's the same in my business."
***************
Current Seminary Classes Available:
Please note that we have several new courses, always with more on the way.
They are all available at:
**********
 SOCIAL COMMUNITIES -I've been keeping up on the social networks as best I can.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another part of the country. "Is there anything breakable in here?" asked the postal clerk.
"Only the Ten Commandments." answered the lady.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
The Substitute Organist
The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what to play.
"Here's a copy of the service," he said impatiently. "But, you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances." During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up." At that moment, the substitute organist played "The Star Spangled Banner." And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Two Large Pots
An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. 'I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.' The old woman smiled, 'Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?'
'That's because I have always known about your flaw,
so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them.'
For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.' Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding... You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them. SO, to all of my cracked pot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
It is easier to preach ten sermons Than it is to live one. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, But mosquitoes come close. |

The love you exemplify in your lives brings life to others
Dear charlene,
When people say to me, "God bless you," I think to myself that if God were to cut me off at this very moment, I would still die in His debt for how richly he has blessed me. (God, that was just a statement of fact, not a request... :-)). I feel so honored to be a member of this exceptional Food For The Poor family.
It is such a privilege to work every day, arm-in-arm, with thousands of caring, compassionate fellow laborers like you. The love you exemplify in your lives brings life to others. The fact that you bring food, clean water, shelter, education and medicines to those who would die without them is already spectacular, but that's not all that you do. Your generosity brings thousands of suffering people tremendous healing.
You build the self-esteem of those ashamed of their poverty, and bring hope to those on the edge of despair. You make those who feel voiceless, invisible and forgotten, feel acknowledged and remembered by man and by God. You are the balm of Gilead that refreshes their faith, relieves their grief, and comforts their broken spirits.
You give dreams to the dreamless so that they do not perish! Thank you for allowing God to use you so magnificently.
It is no wonder that I am proud to work with you, and that I am so inspired and energized by your goodness. God bless you for the beauty of your spirit.
I wish you the wonderful Christmas that you so richly deserve.
For the poor,
 Angel A. Aloma Executive Director Click here to make your year-end gift
