"Remember all ye that existence is pure joy; that all the sorrows are but as shadows; they pass & are done; but there is that which remains."
--Liber al vel Legis, chapter 2 verse 9

"First, stop being failures. It's absurd to judge ourselves against a scale larger than our own efforts. Do the right thing, help one another, raise the less fortunate without ulterior motives. Live simply, never lie, never steal, limit personal wealth, donate to charity, meditate, practise self-denial, live a pure life and spend some time as a monk. Above all, don't be afraid of nothingness, because the universe is full of it and therefore it must be natural and good. In this way of being 'no-mind', we escape ajiva and achieve enlightenment."
--Buckaroo Banzai

"There is always hope, because it's the one thing nobody has figured out how to kill yet."
--Galen, Babylon-5: Crusades

"The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness."
--Joseph Conrad

"They don't know how the world is shaped. And so they give it a shape, and try to make everything fit it. They separate the right from the left, the man from the woman, the plant from the animal, the sun from the moon. They only want to count to two."
--Emma Bull, Bone Dance

In the middle of winter, it's hard to remember sometimes that light is coming back to earth. However, despite the gray, cloudy days, we know that soon, the sun will return. Keep this in mind during those dreary days when it seems winter will never end, by invoking the four classical elements.

As the earth grows colder,
the winds blow faster,
the fire dwindles smaller,
and the rains fall harder,
let the light of the sun
find its way home.
 
It is a time of death and rebirth. The darkest of the dark. We are in the cocoon of winter, preparing for Solstice, and reviewing all that transpired this this past year. All of the patterns that need to change, and pieces of ourselves that need to be let go, and transmuted. Surrender and let it die while preparing for the new expansion. Be easy on yourself and celebrate this accelerated time of transformation.

By my count, we have at LEAST 6 that are either Wiccan or pagan that come by on at least a semi-regular basis and who have identified themselves to me. I'm sure there are many more out there.
