Interview with Raymond Buckland

!DOCTYPE html> Interview with Raymond Buckland Interview with Raymond Buckland Author, Wiccan High Priest (HP) Dear Mr. Buckland, Can I ask you a few questions about Wicca that we may publish on our website? Raymond Buckland: Sure, Atomm. Let me have the questions and I'll try my best to answer them. 1. What made you a Wiccan? It was after reading the books of Margaret Murray and Gerald Gardner that I decided to become a witch. I discovered that the beliefs, practices, and values of witches resonated deeply with me. 2. Can you name any particular person who really inspired you to become a Wiccan? Gerald Gardner was the person who truly inspired me. 3. Have you ever met Gerald Gardner? Yes, I knew Gerald Gardner when he was alive. He initiated me and asked me to bring Wicca to the United States, which I did in 1963. 4. What do you think about reincarnation? I very much believe in reinc...

GODDESS PROCESSION CELEBRATION - AMSTERDAM 08/05/2011

Image
GODDESS PROCESSION  CELEBRATION On Sunday May 8th 2011 at 13:00 there will be a celebratory procession in Amsterdam Honouring the Great Mother - Celebrating the Divine Feminine. We welcome the participation of everyone who would like to join us in procession with the Goddess through the streets of Amsterdam. The Goddess will arrive by water at the Geuzenkade in Amsterdam West - de Baarsjes where we will meet, greet and carry Her to the former church in the Chassestraat. This beautiful building, once dedicated to Maria - Our Lady of Perpetual Help, was build for praying and not for partying. As facilities are very limited this building dictates simplicity. So we made some hard choices. We will focus on the procession and ceremony. The church will be transformed into a Goddes temple for one day, where - after the ceremony - you can meditate or walk the labyrinth. The ceremony will focus on water. Please bring a little bottle with water from the place where you live. Lookin...

Fountain Diana Statue

Image
Fountain of Diana Accompanied by her two dogs, a greyhound and a water spaniel, Diana, the goddess of hunting, reclines with her arm around a majestic stag. This sculpture once surmounted a monumental fountain on the grounds of the Château of Anet, built by Philibert de L'Orme for Diane de Poitiers, Henry II's mistress. The elongated, naked silhouette of the chaste goddess, whose beauty had always been admired, became a symbol of the French Renaissance. Diana and the Nymph The semi-reclining figure of Diana is seen with one arm around the neck of a stag proudly holding up its head. She is accompanied by her dogs, Phrocyon and Cyrius, clearly depicted as a greyhound and a water spaniel. She is not wearing her usual attribute, the crescent moon. This figure of Diana instantly recalls the Nymph of Fontainebleau (Louvre), a high relief sculpted by Benvenuto Cellini for Francis I. Philibert de L'Orme had installed it above the main entrance to the Château of Anet in the mid-...

Paracelsus for today

Waking nature calls you out. Don't forget when you'll apply your freshly collected herbs: "Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy. " We just planted our tiny aloe vera today. That will grow huge within 3-4 year. Today we have only two leafs and some roots in the pot :)

Sappho's Hymn to Aphrodite

Image
Iridescent-throned Aphrodite, deathless Child of Zeus, wile-weaver, I now implore you, Don't--I beg you, Lady--with pains and torments Crush down my spirit, But before if ever you've heard my pleadings Then return, as once when you left your father's Golden house; you yoked to your shining car your Wing-whirring sparrows; Skimming down the paths of the sky's bright ether On they brought you over the earth's black bosom, Swiftly--then you stood with a sudden brilliance, Goddess, before me; Deathless face alight with your smile, you asked me What I suffered, who was my cause of anguish, What would ease the pain of my frantic mind, and Why had I called you To my side: "And whom should Persuasion summon Here, to soothe the sting of your passion this time? Who is now abusing you, Sappho? Who is Treating you cruelly? Now she runs away, but she'll soon pursue you; Gifts she now rejects--soon enough she'll give them; Now she doesn...

Maslows hierarchy of needs

Image
  Maslow's hierarchy of needs is often portrayed in the shape of a pyramid, with the largest and most fundamental levels of needs at the bottom, and the need for self-actualization at the top. The most fundamental and basic four layers of the pyramid contain what Maslow called "deficiency needs" or "d-needs": esteem , friendship and love, security, and physical needs. With the exception of the most fundamental (physiological) needs, if these "deficiency needs" are not met, the body gives no physical indication but the individual feels anxious and tense. Maslow's theory suggests that the most basic level of needs must be met before the individual will strongly desire (or focus motivation upon) the secondary or higher level needs. Maslow also coined the term Metamotivation to describe the motivation of people who go beyond the scope of the basic needs and strive for constant betterment. Metamotivated people are driven by B-needs (Being Needs), instea...
