The term “meditation” refers to a state of relaxation and concentration in which your body and mind are consciously calm. In addition to heightened awareness, attention, and concentration, many who practice this art form report having a more upbeat attitude toward life. Most people associate meditation with spiritual practices used by monks, mystics, and other religious groups. But you don’t have to be a mystic or a monk to gain from it. And it’s something you can do anywhere. Try it out in your own living room if you want, of course! The essential principles of meditation do not vary...
THE FEAR OF DEATH To many, this is the worst of the six basic fears, and the reason for this is evident to even the most cursory student of psychology. The dreadful pains of the fear linked with DEATH can be directly attributed to religious fanaticism, which is more responsible than all other sources combined. So-called “heathens” are less terrified of DEATH than the “civilized,” particularly that segment of the civilized population that has been influenced by theology. For hundreds of millions of years, man has asked the still unsolved (and possibly unanswerable) question, “WHY?” as well as “How did...
For many modern Pagans, Samhain (sow-in) is a Sabbat in commemoration of the ancestors who came before us, and it marks the darkest season of the year. Most people associate Samhain with Halloween. Because the veil between this world and the next is thinnest during a seance, it’s an ideal opportunity to make contact with the spirit realm. Instead of being the name of some old Celtic death god, Samhain was the name of the first day of the Celtic New Year, which was celebrated on October 31st. Samhain, pronounced “sow-en,” is derived from the Gaelic “Samhuin,” but scholars disagree...
Many types of banded chalcedony, a mineral in the quartz family, are known as agate. It gets its name from the Achetes River in Sicily, where the first agates were discovered. Some variants feature “eye” marks, or specks of color; some have fossilized inclusions, while others are solid. The concentric bands of agate develop in practically every hue the earth can create, including a colorless variety, and are known as the earth rainbow. Agate was discovered among Neolithic people’s artifacts and was used as healing amulets and decorations dating back to Babylon. Its medical applications persisted throughout the ancient Greek...
The Sky God of Egypt Ancient Egyptian mythology gives the name Horus to a sky god who generally refers to two gods: Horus the Elder (or Horus the Great), the last of the original five gods to be born, and Horus the Younger, the son of Osiris and Isis. Jimmy Dunn, a historian, claims, “The most significant of the avian deities is Horus, who appears in so many different ways and is portrayed so differently in different inscriptions that it is practically difficult to tell who the real Horus is.” Most often, the name Horus refers to various falcon gods....
