Fairy Doors of Urban Fairies in Ann Arbor
I found this site via this article: The 'fairy door' phenomenon by The Guardian. (English) Wright says he first discovered one of the six-inch doors under his staircase in 1993. His daughter uncovered another, which opened onto a room with its own miniature fireplace. Their fame is spreading far and wide - even the Washington Post has covered their arrival. But whose handiwork is behind them? There are no eyewitness reports of anyone - man, woman or fairy - erecting the doors.
Q: Why don't the doors open? A: The doors DO open, just not to any ol' bigfut. They are FAIRY doors. The doors are small and that means fragile. They WILL break. Please be careful. Consider it locked and don't tug or push.

Do You Believe in Ghosts? by Augusta Free Press. (English) Benjamin Radford: "A lot of times what they're doing is they're going around, and they're pretending to understand the science behind it, and they're using scientific tools, but they're misusing them.

Sacred Weeds - Henbane
This documentary is a scientific study on Henbane, a plant used by witches. Henbane - Hyoscyamus niger - also known as Hen Pen, Henbell, Devil's Eye, Hog's-bean, Jupiter's-bean, Symphonica, Cassilata, Cassilago, Deus Caballinus, and Jusquiame - Henbane is one of the herbs of the underworld. Ritually it is used to summon spirits, relatives who have passed into other lives, and beings who live in the astral realms, though this sort of work should not be undertaken lightly and only if you are adept in this area. Common usage of Henbane is in working with increased psychic perception and clairvoyancy. Due to its toxic nature of this herb, it is best used as an incense. The root is the safest part of the plant and as such it can be gathered, dried and worn as an amulet. You can hang bunches of Henbane up to dry by the hinges of outer doors to protect against negative energy. Henbane was used ritually in ancient Scotland, apparently in connection with the dead. In Greek mythology, the dead who wander the shores of the River Styx are crowned with henbane, most likely because of its real life ability to make one forget oneself. Planetary Ruler is Saturn.

All About Unicorns
What is a Unicorn? The unicorn is a legendary creature like a horse, but with a slender, usually spiral, horn growing out of its forehead. The popular image of the unicorn is that of a white horse differing only in the horn.
Julis Ceasar also described the unicorn, saying, "It had a deer's head, elephant's feet, a three-foot long horn, and a boar's tail." It was not until the middle ages that the unicorn began to take on its present form.
All About Unicorns by Kevin Owens. With information about unicorns, unicorn history, unicorn legends and a lot of pictures in the gallery. Meeting God: Elements of Devotion in India
A person may experience darshan simply by viewing a particularly sacred sculpture or holy spot, perhaps during a pilgrimage or at a festival. Through whatever means it comes, darshan brings both peace, contentment and blessing to devotees and through it, they believe, miracles can and do occur frequently. The picture above: In her hands a woman clasps a brass bowl that holds sacred water representing the Goddess: the Divine Feminine. She prays to the first rays of the sun, considered a God: the Divine Masculine. By daily acknowledging the two, she honors the absolute balance of existence: male and female, wrong and right, black and white, good and evil.
These are but a few glimpses into the heart of faith in India. We ask that you leave your preconceptions behind and open yourself and all your senses to the experience. Let it be an adventure into other ways of thinking and acting in which you might find threads that interweave within your own life.

Or even the ancient Druidic rites this week in places like Stonehenge, as the midsummer sun astonishes by rising in perfect alignment with the huge stone circle. Also Longest Day to Party: Summer Fun at Stonehenge by ABC News.

Cause & Defect by San Diego Union-Tribune. (English) People have debated the nature of time since, well, people invented it. Time is, in many ways, a fabrication of our minds, a superficial construct that helps us explain the universe, plot our course through existence and show up when we're supposed to. “The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once,” Albert Einstein once said. Conversations with Extraterrestrials by Llewellyn Journal. (English) There are many other cases where aliens have conversed with human beings. However, the patterns are usually the same. For the most part, aliens are not only extremely taciturn; when they do speak they are often evasive. When abductee Travis Walton was taken onboard a UFO, he asked numerous questions of the aliens, none of which were answered. When abductee Betty Hill asked her abductors where they came from, they told her, "You wouldn’t understand."

Online Meditation Music by Radio Sri Chinmoy
Here is an excerpt from Sri Chinmoy's book, "The Source of Music":
Next to meditation is music. But it has to be soulful music, the music that stirs and elevates our aspiring consciousness. When we play soulful music, psychic music, then immediately we are transported to the highest realm of consciousness. When we play music soulfully, we go high, higher, highest. Each time soulful music is played, we get inspiration and delight. In the twinkling of an eye, music can elevate our consciousness. But if we also pray and meditate, then we are undoubtedly more illumined and fulfilled than a music lover who is not consciously following a spiritual life. Each spiritual musician is consciously spreading God's Light on earth. God is the cosmic Player, the eternal Player, and we are His instruments. But there comes a time in the process of our evolution when we feel that we have become totally one with Him. At that time, we are no longer instruments; we ourselves are musicians, divine musicians. It is the Supreme who makes the proper instrument. Then, it is He who makes the player play properly, and it is He who makes the musician." - Sri Chinmoy
There are much more! Radio Sri Chinmoy has a diverse selection of music for meditation. For example Free Meditation Music or Free Relaxation Music. Check it out! |
