Writers often take  great time and effort to write their works.  So what I find to be arrogant, and perhaps even condescending, is how people will often click on a “Featured” work, yet not read it. Leaving a simple critique pro or con is better then leaving nothing. Well this is my thought for today. "Sum 'Pincerna' nominatus, Famulari ... nunc paratus!""I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-Am" --Dr. Seuss

                                              Quotes
" Never utter these words- " I do not know this, therefore it is false." One must study to know, know to understand, understand to judge." ~~~ Apothegm of Narada
       
"ET SCELERATIS SOL ORITUR"--"The SUN SHINES EVEN ON THE WICKED" (Seneca)

" As long as you are in sync with your own core values, never worry about the opinions of others. No matter who you are or what you do, not everyone will like you. No matter who you are or what you do, not everyone will hate you either. In the final analysis, it just doesn’t matter." "Jesus had enemies, Hitler had friends "
~Dragon Knight

                                     SOME F.Y.I

To Extract a Thorn:The briar that spreads the thorn that grows the sharp spiked that pierced the brow of Christ give you power to draw this thorn from the flesh or let it perish inside in the name of the Trinity Amen

 A quick way to rid oneself of the "Evil Eye" spell. If you feel someone is wishing you bad luck, spit in their direction three times. If you do not know for sure who this person is, spit to the south three times.( Anthing done in  threes is called a Trinity..soooorry BUT it was first done for the Farther , Son and Holy Ghost, To break  a Trinty is thougth to bring  Bad Luck.. best known common breaking of Trinity is -Do not walk under a ladder or you will invite bad luck.

CURING A HEADACHE SPELL~Concentrate all your thought on where the pain is and chant three times aloud:"Tame thou flesh and blood, as our lady tames the lion."
( This Spell is a bastard of the Orginal spell the Lady is said to be  the "Holy Mother" and some reference of this is noted in  Text.. such as The Merlin  tales.
( this is  just  F.Y.I. nothing more..to give  the reader something  to
look at instread of my sorry poems.

Holy Laughter: The participants collapse in almost uncontrollable laughter and this is supposed to be a sign of the Spirit of God working in spiritual renewal.

Foxhole Salvation ; situation where it seemed the only answer was to call out to God for help. God answered their cry and so they decide there is a God that loves them, they have heard about Jesus, so they ask Him to be their Savior. Maybe they were in jail, they had a terrible sickness, they were living on the street, they went through a divorce, they truly were "under fire" and needed the protection of God.

Lent- The significant rite of the beginning of Lent is the signing with the ashes on Ash Wednesday. The sign of the cross is traced upon the forehead with the words, "Remember Thou, O soul, that thy body is dust and unto dust it shall return." These words signify a release from the identification of the self with the mortal and corruptible body and personality. A detachment from our conventional identification with our mortal shell can result in an altered state of consciousness where our bodies can communicate to us a spiritual reality and we can develop in actuality a more caring attitude toward it.  St. Francis often referred to his mortal frame as his humble and dutiful "donkey" that  bore him through this life, like the donkey that bore the blessed Virgin to Bethlehem.

SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT: is when the Spirit comes upon you it will overcome you with power, slaying you. Today this has become the common denominator of the Spirits presence with power and is sought after as proof of receiving the anointing. a person loses all motor control over their body and falls to the floor or ground. The context for it is almost always a revival meeting or a prayer-and-praise service, though it has been known to happen at religious music concerts and programs.

Revelation: is when God gives your Heart an understanding of a certain Biblical Truth. We all need Revelation Knowledge.Rev. knowledge is when you are reading the Bible and a verse leaps off the page, hits you between the eyes, and God says, "This is for you right now." These are precious experiences for the believer. However, for many, they do not happen often enough.

Impartation: Imparting the anointing is a common practice among Charismatic. The practice got its origins from earlier revivalists such as Maria Woodworth-Etter and Aimee Sample McPherson. It got to be commonplace during the New Order of the Latter Rain. During this alleged move of God it was taught that spiritual gifts, callings, healing, and delivering power could be transmitted through the laying-on-of-hands. This concept was vigorously fought by the formal leadership of the Assemblies of God. At that point the AOG denied that it was possible to impart these things through the laying on of hands.
Anak or Anakim: These were the giants that the spies found when they went to check out the promise land in Num: 13:33. It is very interesting to note that the stature and formidable nature of the Anakim were almost proverbial. They were taken as a standard for comparison to stress the size of such other peoples as the Emim (Deut: 2:10) and the Rephamin (Deut: 2:21), and there was a saying, "Who can stand before the sons of Anak?" (Deut: 9:2). In the account of the Promised Land brought back by the ten faint-hearted spies, emphasis was laid on the fact that the Anakim were there (Deut: 1:28). It was even claimed that they were descendants of the Nephilim, who were of the sons of Anak, and the spies felt like grasshoppers besides them (Num: 13:33).

Rods: the mysterious life form that seems to only be visible in a photo. All over the world a here to fore unknown life form seems to be revealing itself, thanks to modern technology. No one knows exactly what it is, although many theories abound. It is a cylindrical shaped object with beating wings. They appear to be intelligent flying organisms that fly around us all the time but are too fast to be seen by the naked eye. The most famous rods ever filmed are probably the ones from the  cave divers in Mexico. They look like cylinders with flaps and appear to be intelligent as they avoid birds and humans.

SPIRIT CHILDREN: children who passed over and, according to trance accounts, are growing to maturity on the other side. Child mediums often claim spirit children as their playmates. Florence Marryat writes in her There is No Death of Bessie Williams' little girl, Mabel: "I have watched her playing at ball with an invisible child, and have seen the ball thrown, arrested half-way in the air, and then tossed back again as if a living child had been Mab's opponent." According to the authoress, when a still-born baby is launched upon the other side she is delivered  over to the nearest relative of its parent to be named and brought up.

SPIRIT HYPOTHESIS  the theory that the intelligence which directs the phenomena of the medium is a disembodied spirit. It is the only simple theory that covers every phase of manifestations. It is also the one which is being consistently put forward by the invisible communicators.

Rebirthing-Reliving the traumas of birth to provide new insight and healing.

Mysticism/Mystic-Union with the absolute, God, or the power behind the universe. Meditation and contemplation are the means for attaining that state of transcendence. Mystics differ from occultists in that they are generally less concerned with psychic powers, mental abilities or ceremonial activities.

Alchemy-Transformation of base metals into gold. More importantly, it refers to the spiritual transformation of the human being into an enlightened being.ALCHEMY: THE ART OF TRANSFORMATION

Archetype-Primordial images, universal aspects of the unconscious, recurring in each generation across cultures. The concept was developed by Carl Jung.PRINCIPLES OF JUNGIAN SPIRITUALITY

Astral bodies, planes, travel and projection-The astral body is the 'double' of the human body and is said to provide the body with its consciousness. Conscious separation of the astral body from the physical is known as astral travel, or, more commonly, as an out-of-body experience or astral projection. It is to the astral plane that the astral body goes and this is also the one of the first spheres that the astral body reaches after death. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCES

Devils' advocate - person who presents, usually for the sake of argument, an opposing view which he does not himself hold
Translation from the Latin advocatus diaboli, a theological term used in the Roman Catholic church for the official given the duty of arguing against the proposed beatification of a dead person during the formal deliberation of the matter, in order to ensure that the case is examined from all sides.

Shaman/Shamanism-One who is able to serve as an intermediary between humans and the spirit worlds. Can be a sorcerer, magician, healer or prophet, and can enter trance states at will.

Ecstacy-Ecstasy: is a state of emotion  or altered state of consciousness, that can be so intense that the person experiencing it is carried beyond rational thought and self control.  A state of ecstasy is associated with feelings of intense, pleasure, joy or delight.  Sometimes a state of ecstasy is associated with a trance-like state of rapture and frenzy, associated with prophetic or mystic exaltation.  For example the state can be accompanied by feelings of the mind being elevated above the reach of ordinary impressions. In the state of ecstasy there is often the influence of overpowering emotion; 'an extraordinary elevation of the spirit, as when the soul, unconscious of sensible objects, is supposed to contemplate heavenly mysteries.'  Generally it is a state of being carried away by overwhelming emotion.

Celestial Light : according to belief, is the sacred light of all ages, The celestial light was but one of the seven precious gifts enjoyed by Adam before the fall and to be granted to man again only in the Messianic time.  It is also the halo emanating from certain visions of a mystical nature.  However it can only be observed by those who have lived ascetic lives, and when life has almost left the body.  also check out  Angels, Angel Magic, Archangels, Celestial, Celestial Bodies, Celestial Hierarchy, Dionysius the Areopagite, Fallen Host &  Grigori.  

To pay the  Devil-trouble as the consequence of an act
The earliest appearance of this expression has to do with paying the Devil as part of a bargain. The medieval legend of the man who sold his soul to the Devil is best known from the later Faust stories, notably the dramatised version by Marlowe (1594): his Dr Faustus enjoys 24 years during which Mephistopheles provides whatever he asks for, but he has to pay his soul to the Devil at the end of them. However, the idea of making a pact with the Devil is much older and of Jewish origin: Christ, for example, is offered such a pact in Matthew, 4:1-11).There is a later expression, the devil to pay and no hot pitch, which is nautical. It may be a punning extension of the earlier phrase or an entirely separate one devil is a seam for caulking; pay is an obsolete verb meaning 'cover with pitch' (tar). The process is explained in Between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Death Birds : are mysterious creatures that are in fact a variety of bat that has a penchant for human blood.  This is how they attained their name death birds.  The archeologist Byron de Prorok is said to have learned of this phenomenon in 1936, while traveling through southern Ethiopia.  The death birds were said to inhabit Devil's Cave - a cursed cavern near Lekempti.  It was here that de Prorok encountered the bats.  (check out  zooform Phenomena. also)

chthonic:  Of the earth or the underworld; an infernal or powerful elemental force.

Dead as a door-nail-Door-nails were large-headed nails with which doors were studded for strength or ornamentation. There have been ingenious conjectures as to why one should be particularly 'dead', including the suggestion that a door-nail would become worn out if it was used - there is no evidence that it was - as the nail on which the door-knocker was struck.
The best explanation is from a different meaning of door-nail, that of a door-fastener, a beam of wood placed across the inside of a door, held in place by brackets, and called a nail because it fastened. It was rigid and therefore invited comparison with a corpse.

Eleventh hour - the last minute
In the Bible, Matthew (20:1-16) tells a parable in which the doctrine of grace is explained in a story of the labourers in the lord's vineyard who were all paid the same for their work whether they had been working all day, or had only started in the eleventh hour - the last hour of the Roman working day. This biblical use means the expression has been in the language from the earliest records. It was given further resonance in the 20th century when at the end of the First World War the Armistice was signed on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day in the eleventh month of 1918. Nowadays it is generally used without reference to these but simply as an alternative to 'last minute' or last ditch.

Feather in one's cap - achievement one can take pride in
A reference to the plumes worn in the helmets of knights as a sign of their distinction. The frequent attribution of the expression to American Indian custom is suspect: the Prince of Wales' three white ostrich feathers, for instance, have been known since the Battle of Crécy (1346), when the Black Prince is said to have won the right to display them after the death there of the king of Bohemia (whose crest they previously were). The expression has been metaphorical in English since the 16th century, which makes an American origin unlikely.

Abracadabra - Also a magician's spell or incantation and a mystic word used as a charm against aches and pains. It made its appearance in a Latin poem ( 2nd century AD) by Q. Severus Sammonicus and has been said to comprise the initials of the hebrew words for 'Father, Son and Holy Ghost', but is more likely to be related to a Greek word for a diety.

Achilles' heel/tendon-In Homer's Iliad (c. 8th century BC), the story of the seige of Troy, Achilles is the great Greek hero whose principal exploit is the killing of Hector, commander of the Trojan army. According to legend he was as an infant immersed by his mother Thetis in the Styx, a river of the underworld, to make him invulnerable. However, the heel by which she held him was untouched by the waters and remained vulnerable. Paris, the Trojan prince, knew this and so was able to kill him at the siege by shooting him in the heel with a poisoned arrow (though this part of the story is not in Homer).
A person's Achilles' heel is therefore his vulnerable spot or fatal weakness - his only one, strictly speaking. The Achilles' tendon, between heel and calf, is often strained by athletes and takes its name from its position and this vulnerability.

Apocalypse - an event of great moment and disaster, comparable to the end of the world Literally, a revelation or uncovering. The word (from Greek) was originally a theological term for the revelation of the future granted in prophetic visions to St John the Divine on the island of Patmos and set out by him in Revelation (about 97 AD), the final book in the Bible and sometimes called the Apocalypse. The modern meaning comes from the fact that the book describes the final great battle between good and evil in the world, with visions of the Last Judgement of humanity by God.
