Blessed Song I give to you, to know the Sacred Blue. The home that we long to know true, the loving Blue (heart knowing relatives). Where distance is just a call, when you need all that's water fall (tears) and spring will light up inside your heart to find the blue, red illumination's call (finding your spirit)...aho, may your spirit fly!

 

Samhain marks one of the two great doorways of the Celtic year, for the Celts divided the year into two seasons: the light and the dark, at Beltane on May 1st and Samhain on November 1st. Some believe that Samhain was the more important festival, marking the beginning of a whole new cycle, just as the Celtic day began at night. For it was understood that in dark silence comes whisperings of new beginnings, the stirring of the seed below the ground. Whereas Beltane welcomes in the summer with joyous celebrations at dawn, the most magically potent time of this festival is November Eve, the night of October 31st, known today of course, as Halloween. 

 

Samhain (Scots Gaelic: Samhuinn) literally means “summer's end.” In Scotland and Ireland, Halloween is known as O�che Shamhna, while in Wales it is Nos Calan Gaeaf, the eve of the winter's calend, or first. With the rise of Christianity, Samhain was changed to Hallowmas, or All Saints' Day, to commemorate the souls of the blessed dead who had been canonized that year, so the night before became popularly known as Halloween, All Hallows Eve, or Hollantide. November 2^nd became All Souls Day, when prayers were to be offered to the souls of all who the departed and those who were waiting in Purgatory for entry into Heaven. Throughout the centuries, pagan and Christian beliefs intertwine in a gallimaufry of celebrations from Oct 31st through November 5^th, all of which appear both to challenge the ascendancy of the dark and to revel in its mystery.

In the country year, Samhain marked the first day of winter, when the herders led the cattle and sheep down from their summer hillside pastures to the shelter of stable and byre. The hay that would feed them during the winter must be stored in sturdy thatched ricks, tied down securely against storms. Those destined for the table were slaughtered, after being ritually devoted to the gods in pagan times. All the harvest must be gathered in -- barley, oats, wheat, turnips, and apples -- for come November, the faeries would blast every growing plant with their breath, blighting any nuts and berries remaining on the hedgerows. Peat and wood for winter fires were stacked high by the hearth. It was a joyous time of family reunion, when all members of the household worked together baking, salting meat, and making preserves for the winter feasts to come. The endless horizons of summer gave way to a warm, dim and often smoky room; the symphony of summer sounds was replaced by a counterpoint of voices, young and old, human and animal.

In early Ireland, people gathered at the ritual centers of the tribes, for Samhain was the principal calendar feast of the year.   The greatest assembly was the 'Feast of Tara,' focusing on the royal seat of the High King as the heart of the sacred land, the point of conception for the new year. In every household throughout the country, hearth-fires were extinguished. All waited for the Druids to light the new fire of the year -- not at Tara, but at Tlachtga, a hill twelve miles to the north-west. It marked the burial-place of Tlachtga, daughter of the great druid Mogh Ruith, who may once have been a goddess in her own right in a former age. 

At at all the turning points of the Celtic year, the gods drew near to Earth at Samhain, so many sacrifices and gifts were offered up in thanksgiving for the harvest. Personal prayers in the form of objects symbolizing the wishes of supplicants or ailments to be healed were cast into the fire,  and at the end of the ceremonies, brands were lit from the great fire of Tara to re-kindle all the home fires of the tribe, as at Beltane. As they received the flame that marked this time of beginnings, people surely felt a sense of the kindling of new dreams, projects and hopes for the year to come. 

The Samhain fires continued to blaze down the centuries.  In the 1860s the Halloween bonfires were still so popular in Scotland that one traveler reported seeing thirty fires lighting up the hillsides all on one night, each surrounded by rings of dancing figures, a practice which continued up to the first World War. Young people and servants lit brands from the fire and ran around the fields and hedges of house and farm, while community leaders surrounded parish boundaries with a magic circle of light. Afterwards, ashes from the fires were sprinkled over the fields to protect them during the winter months -- and of course, they also improved the soil. The bonfire provided an island of light within the oncoming tide of winter darkness, keeping away cold, discomfort, and evil spirits long before electricity illumined our nights. When the last flame sank down, it was time to run as fast as you could for home, raising the cry, “The black sow without a tail take the hindmost!”

Even today, bonfires light up the skies in many parts of the British Isles and Ireland at this season, although in many areas of Britain their significance has been co-opted by Guy Fawkes Day, which falls on November 5th, and commemorates an unsuccessful attempt to blow up the English Houses of Parliament in the 17th century. In one Devonshire village, the extraordinary sight of both men and women running through the streets with blazing tar barrels on their backs can still be seen! Whatever the reason, there will probably always be a human need to make fires against the winter’s dark.

Divination at Halloween 
Samhain was a significant time for divination, perhaps even more so than May or Midsummer’s Eve, because this was the chief of the three Spirit Nights. Divination customs and games frequently featured apples and nuts from the recent harvest, and candles played an important part in adding atmosphere to the mysteries. In Scotland, a child born at Samhain was said to be gifted with an d� shealladh, “The Two Sights” commonly known as “second sight,” or clairvoyance.

Apple Magic
At the heart of the Celtic Otherworld grows an apple tree whose fruit has magical properties. Old sagas tell of heroes crossing the western sea to find this wondrous country, known in Ireland as Emhain Abhlach, (Evan Avlach) and in Britain, Avalon. At Samhain, the apple harvest is in, and old hearthside games, such as apple-bobbing, called apple-dookin’ in Scotland, reflect the journey across water to obtain the magic apple.

Dookin' for Apples
Place a large tub, preferably wooden, on the floor, and half fill it with water. Tumble in plenty of apples, and have one person stir them around vigorously with a long wooden spoon or rod of hazel, ash or any other sacred tree.

Each player takes their turn kneeling on the floor, trying to capture the apples with their teeth as they go bobbing around. Each gets three tries before the next person has a go. Best to wear old clothes for this one, and have a roaring fire nearby so you can dry off while eating your prize!
If you do manage to capture an apple, you might want to keep it for a divination ritual, such as this one:

The Apple and the Mirror
Before the stroke of midnight, sit in front of a mirror in a room lit only by one candle or the moon. Go into the silence, and ask a question. Cut the apple into nine pieces. With your back to the mirror, eat eight of the pieces, then throw the ninth over your left shoulder. Turn your head to look over the same shoulder, and you will see and in image or symbol in the mirror that will tell you your answer.

(When you look in the mirror, let your focus go "soft," and allow the patterns made by the moon or candlelight and shadows to suggest forms, symbols and other dreamlike images that speak to your intuition.)
Dreaming Stones
Go to a boundary stream and with closed eyes, take from the water three stones between middle finger and thumb, saying these words as each is gathered:                       

         I will lift the stone
           As Mary lifted it for her Son,
           For substance, virtue, and strength;
           May this stone be in my hand
           Till I reach my journey’s end.

(Scots Gaelic)
          Togaidh mise chlach,
          Mar a thog Moire da Mac,
          Air bhr�gh, air bhuaidh, ‘s air neart;
          Gun robh a chlachsa am dh�rn,
          Gus an ruig mi mo cheann uidhe.

Carry them home carefully and place them under your pillow. That night, ask for a dream that will give you guidance or a solution to a problem, and the stones will bring it for you. Thank you http://www.chalicecentre.net/samhain.htm

  Samhain is popularly known today as Halloween, a contraction of the words "Hallowed Evening", and it retains much of the original form and meaning it had long ago in Celtic lands, despite the efforts of the Church to turn it into an observance of feasting and prayer for their vast pantheon of saints.  The Church began calling it Michaelmas, the feast day of St. Michael, but the old Samhain holiday proved to be too potent a drawing card for one lone saint to combat.  So it was renamed the Eve of All Saints, or All Hallows Eve, which precedes All Saint's Day, and is still one of the holiest days in Catholicism.   The pagan Samhain is not, and never was, associated with evil or negativity.  It has always been a time to reaffirm our belief in the oneness of all spirits, and in our firm resolution that physical death is not the final act of existence.  Though death is very much a part of Samhain's symbolism, this Sabbat also celebrates the triumph of life over death.
  Samhain is popularly known today as Halloween, a contraction of the words "Hallowed Evening", and it retains much of the original form and meaning it had long ago in Celtic lands, despite the efforts of the Church to turn it into an observance of feasting and prayer for their vast pantheon of saints.  The Church began calling it Michaelmas, the feast day of St. Michael, but the old Samhain holiday proved to be too potent a drawing card for one lone saint to combat.  So it was renamed the Eve of All Saints, or All Hallows Eve, which precedes All Saint's Day, and is still one of the holiest days in Catholicism.   The pagan Samhain is not, and never was, associated with evil or negativity.  It has always been a time to reaffirm our belief in the oneness of all spirits, and in our firm resolution that physical death is not the final act of existence.  Though death is very much a part of Samhain's symbolism, this Sabbat also celebrates the triumph of life over death.
  While it is true that Samhain is no more evil than any other holiday, it is also a fact that evil does exist, and pagans have always been aware of this.  Our ancestors sought to protect themselves on this night by carving faces in vegetables to place near windows or at the perimeters of their circle.  These were the forerunners of our present day jack-o-lanterns.  These carved pumpkin faces are probably relics of the even earlier custom of placing candles in windows to guide the earth-walking spirits along their way.  Today it is still a custom in Ireland to place candles in the windows on Samhain night and to leave plates of food for the visiting spirits.
   There are two possible sources for the origin of the Samhain Sabbat's name.  One is from the Aryan God of Death, Samana, and the other is from the Irish Gaelic word "samhraidhreadh", which literally means "the summer's end".  Samhain marked the end of summer and the beginning of winter for the Celts, with the day after Samhain being the official date of the Celtic New Year.  The reason the Celts chose this point in time as their new year rather than Yule, when the rest of Western pagans celebrate it, was because the sun is at its lowest point on the horizon as measured by the ancient standing stones of Britain and Ireland.
  This is also a time for harmless pranks, lavish feasting, circle games, and merrymaking which can be teasingly blamed on nearby spirits    (ala Loki, Abbot, Lord of Misrule etc.)

  Samhain bonfires, called balefires in paganism, were once lighted on every hilltop in Britain and Ireland as soon as the sun set on October 30.  The word "balefire" comes from the word "boon", which means "extra".  The fires serve the purpose of containing the energy of the dead god, lighting the dark night, warding off evil, ushering in the light of the New Year, purifying the ritual space or home, and being the focus of ritual.  In many parts of the British Isles these balefires are still lighted on Samhain to honor the old ways.
  The idea that evil spirits walk the earth at Samhain is a misinterpretation of the pagan belief  that the veil of consciousness which separates the land of the living from the land of the dead is at its thinnest on this night.  This does not mean that hordes of evil entities cross this chasm.  Some pagans believe this veil is made thin by the God's passing through it into the Land of the Dead, and that he will, for the sake of his people, attempt to hold back any spirits crossing into the physical plane whose intent it is to make trouble.  In nearly all the Western pagan traditions, deceased ancestors and other friendly spirits are invited to join the Sabbat festivities, and be reunited with loved ones who are otherwise separated by time and dimensions of existence.
  Some modern scholars claim that Samhain's traditional 'trick or treat' custom was derived from a ploy to to scare away fairies and other mischievous spirits, but it has overtones of being a custom of a much later period, perhaps one which grew up around the Burning Times.  During the Burning Times, masking and dark clothing hid the identities of witches going to their covens so that they might escape detection.  The mask also had the added benefit of frightening away any inquisitor who might happen upon a lone figure in the woods.

Make a Grave Rubbing!
Many modern Pagans and Wiccans include ancestor worship as part of their Samhain celebrations -- it's not out of the ordinary to meet members of the Pagan community who can recite their genealogy back ten or more generations. In addition, because it's common for Wiccans and Pagans to view death not as ending but as the beginning of the next phase of spiritual development, grave rubbings are popular with many Pagans. It's great to use those of your own relatives and family members, but if you find a headstone that strikes you as interesting, there's nothing wrong with making a rubbing from it. Just be respectful.

Awen
[State aloud the name of at least one of your ancestors who has passed over. As you do so, leave an apple on or near the main altar or offering bowl. If you are doing this ritual indoors, you may wish to take the apple outdoors to be left beside a special tree or stone after your ritual is over.]

May they be reminded of my love.
May you know you are loved.
May you never be forgotten.
I honor the Ancestors.
I honor my blood Ancestors
I honor those who have gone before me.
I honor those who paved the way I now travel.
I honor those who gave their lives that others might live.
I honor those who did not live to see the results of what they began.
I honor those who set for me examples of courage.
I honor those who watch over me now in spirit.
I give you my gratitude. 

Here standing on the edge of the new year, may the swords of our warriors swiftly find their mark so they may return home to us. May the healing waters wash over those now wounded or suffering for any reason. Let me prepare for the Winter but never lose sight that the Spring shall come again.
Here standing on the edge of the new year, may all those spirits taken from their bodies find their way to the other side now while the veil is open. May those that passed with hate and bitterness in their hearts be healed by the Divine however they believe it to be. May those who were dear to me find Peace in the knowledge they are loved and will never be forgotten. May they rest cradled in the arms of the Divine and join hands with the ancestors until I meet with them again.

Here standing on the edge of the new year, may I not overlook supporting those who support our warriors and leaders and ourselves. I shall share courage with my neighbor, co-worker and any child who needs it. I will look out for others as they look out me.

May the Awen fill and inspire me to find real solutions to my difficulties. May peace fill my heart and be a product of all my activities. May I become a shining beacon of light in my home, community and country. Let the river of love keep overflowing throughout this new year.

(Pause and meditate for a moment on your goal for the coming year. When the answer comes to you, light their paper with the main candle and allow it to burn to ashes in the offering bowl. Add to the ashes a pinch of salt.).

Awen
(Pause for a moment. If you have any additional offerings, prayers or request do them now.)
Peace up to the Sky
Earth under the Sky
Sky down to the Sea
Strength in every one
The new year has been born.
(Pause for a moment and scatter the ashes and salt to the wind. If you are performing this ritual inside, wait until your ritual is over to take the mixture outdoors.)

This is a new beginning. I will be an example to my community and the next generation. I will not forget the lessons of the year that has passed. I embrace this new year with determination, hope and joy. I will extend my hand to help those around me. My work toward peace and love has just begun.
In the name of the Great Bear of the Starry Heavens and the elemental Earth, we thank the powers of the North. By the magic of the universe, by the gifts of the Earth, I withdraw this Northern Gate and radiate its light.

In the name of the Salmon of Wisdom and the elemental Water, we thank the powers of the West. By the endless waves of the Sea, by the streams in the forests, I withdraw this Western Gate and radiate its light.


In the name of the Great Stag and of the elemental Fire, we thank the powers of the South. By rays of sunlight, by the bolts of lightning, I withdraw this Southern Gate and radiate its light.
In the name of the Hawk of Dawn and of the elemental Air, we thank the powers of the East. By the four winds, by the clouds overhead, I withdraw this Eastern Gate and radiate its light.

Deep within the still center of my being, may I find Peace.
Silently within the quiet of the Grove, may I share Peace.
Gently within the great circle of humankind, may I radiate Peace.
May the harmony of lands be complete. 

Awen
I now declare this Rite of Samhuin ended, but only in the apparent world.
—by Aigeann

Scrying:
This is one of the best times for scrying. You can use a black mirror or a black or very dark bowl filled with water, if you have a cauldron that would be better. Place lit candles nearby and gaze into the mirror or the bowl.

A Spell For The Dead: a time for remembrance
( what we call death is but an existence in the cycle of birth and rebirth)

You will need:A black candle,pentagram,salt( represents the salt of the earth),bread ( bread of life)
cast your circle.

Goddess, I ask for your blessings,
"Lift the veil for me that I may greet my ancestors,
Friends and Family who have gone ahead into your realms.
Let only those who wish me well enter within this circle."
Touch the plate of bread and salt
"Welcome to all ancestors who wish me well."
Take a piece of the bread dipped into the salt and eat it
Light the black candle and think of those who have died."This is the time of remembrance of all those gone into the realm of the Dark
The thin veil has been lifted.
My ancestors have come to this feast of the Dead,
I thank them for their presence and words of comfort."
"Let there be no fear in me
Here is the secret symbol of life in death and death in life"
 
When you feel you have finished thinking of the dead or the special ones you have in mind then cut the circle and bless the goddess. Any bread left over should be placed outside or buried.

To Have Dreams Of The Dead
1 white candle
picture of the dead person
pentagram

Light the white candle and stare at the flame for a few minutes concentrating on the dead one. When you are ready look at the picture and say,

"You are gone forever;
But through this spell,
My dreams to which
you will come"
 
Let the candle burn out all the way to the bottom,never blow the candle out. You may sleep with the picture under your pillow if you wish. By three nights you will have dreamt of the dead one in your mind.

I have done this once and it worked. I only tried it once because my dead uncle comes to me in November almost every year. He died in November and that is his month to commune. My dead grandfather comes to me every few years it seems or whenever I am undergoing extreme stress or a major crisis in my life. He comes to me in my dreams and speaks to me, sometimes I remember and sometimes I don`t remember, but I know my unconscious mind remembers. He came to me last about two years ago, perhaps he`ll come for a visit again. I have no need to call,summon or spell craft to commune for they come to me when they feel it is right. Sometimes it is no good to call upon the dead.

Love
Samhain is also the time to see what lies ahead in the new year and perhaps what love lies just ahead for you. If this is the case try this chant. It is to win love. You may want to practice earth magick and draw the one you want to win in the dirt or mud with a stick and repeat this chant. You may also light a red candle and hold something personal of the other person you want to win. Repeat this not only once at this time but throughout October 31 and November 1 for as long as you can. See if you can repeat it in the back of your mind while going about your work and daily chores, like a tape recording in the back of your mind constantly chanting.  
Thank you http://www.care2.com/c2c/groups/disc.html?gpp=13462&pst=808041

Carousel, My Ring Dispels, Because I Return Home to Heaven and Pray. Cup of God Teaches Us How to Validate!

Carousel (merry-go-round, painted treasured wooden horses, each exquisite and unique), do it well. Go round and round we go.  Can you see the ring (ring catching, from the carousel) on the hill (rainbow), where all does flow. Carousel, my carousel, come with me rain or shine. Let me vision all the roaming vine!  I want to see, the heart of me. Come share the well of life.  And in a storm, which is norm, you just have to know, it's perfect strife. God give me a good life!

Oh my carousel, my carousel, watch all the little horses (horse represents the soul, the rider) go by.  And watch them flow, to always glow, like little rainbow shows. I watch them glow. I watch them show. What a great awesome reward.  Like magical, like spells of love, look inward, that's where we go.

Now reach inside. And look alive.  It's time for us to survive.  And when it's cold, just reach for gold (abundance and brotherhood), and God will ride the tide. Watch it glow, make love to all, fill rainbows, with satisfactory show. Then let it go, have a good ride down the rainbow, where all the gold, will be your surprise.

My carousel, my carousel, my horses of all of you. I watch you go. I watch you flow, like diamonds in a stew.  But where you fly, like unicorns glide, with wings, beyond compare.  I say to you, my hearty view, we are going to a place, where it shines, the heart inside, looking to shine/bind.

When glory filled, of yester years, we understand our hearts, but what if we did find Galilee (promised land), where freedom left us still (heaven is here, to embrace, take a taste, know it's god's embrace, stop and receive your hug today).  Look into your reflection and watch yourself shine, because of you, my heart is glue, to all of rainbow shine, the glowing of my mind.

Like little shows, the rainbow glows, my horses, you do flow. Around you go, and in a show, just prance like in a view.  We watch you glow, like in a show, you prance around, to show us your true (show of horses/equestrian, horseman, events*, the soul that shares true).  Now look inside, be satisfied, because it's a great ride. 

Round and round, it's heaven's sound, and now it's time for us to collide. I watch you go, but heavens knows, you need to shine inside. And when you find the dream inside, then all will be such a heavenly ride.  Round and round, my carousel, watch the sound, the dreams you make, the vision quest, that grounds (from heavenly soul to the earthly flesh, dreams come alive).

And whispers true, between me and you. God will share all this with pride.  Be honored filled, to know this world, is gifts in all you do. Come share your wealth, your dreams to fulfill, because it's time to arrive.  It's where we go round the show, where men and plants survive.  Where rainbows shine, and rocks do blind, because of all it's light. Magic shows, just watch them glow, my heart is yearning for this time.  My heart is yearning to be blind ♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥ (a light from within, shines out again, the soul regains freedom in the wind, trusting the wave/sine).

Holiness David Running Eagle Shooting Star your Father Red Hand, elder lavender person, drums andWhite Buffalo Calf Woman your Twin Deer Mother, elder crystal person, sings for the heart of Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out, magenta warrior.  We three  come to share the yellow of the dream (we all carry yellow overlay) and the next phase of evolution, the golden brotherhood (yellow hill of the dawning), paradise in the House of the Beloved, all the rainbow children from all our relatives, Upper Heaven, Lower Heaven (fold together), Heaven and Earth (fold together). We follow your dreams!

*carousel (historical terms) a tournament in which horsemen took part in races and various manoeuvres in formation.
Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  And round and round it goes...like the earth that turns round and round - really beautifull - indeed - thank you my beloved Twin deer Mother and his Holiness Running Eagle Shooting Star - woo-hoo - yeah - hey hey hey. This song somehow motivates me, gonna make my dreams come true for the best of all.

 White Buffalo Calf Woman: Yes, it is very beautiful, your heart. I see all the winds blowing down the center of four hoops. The file was too big for google chat, they told me it was too big, so I sent it twice. Oh well, you have it twice. Well that is deep, just like a Cup of God. Can I help you with anything today?

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out: Ha ha 

White Buffalo Calf Woman: 
  Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  Wake up, my beloved Brothers and Sisters - Ring - Ring - the carousel ride starts NOW! Ha ha - I am in a good mood today!

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  Yes, Holiness David Running Eagle didn't know about the Ring Catch on the carousel ride. But we also think of the "ring of freedom" (sound, song, voice, that sets us free, tears, winds), when our souls descends and swirls towards the center into eternal life. In numerology, you brought up the concepts of completion in the number nine, as your rainbow colors added up to this sum. Oh, it's completes the cycle or returning to the beginning (ring, complete a cycle, but more like a path, like going around in a circle, like a track), but it's more like I said, when you spoke about the Magenta or "Halls of Consciousness", that you are, where all four hoops gather together in the passageway, while chattering away. During the third phase of evolution we think of dreams, and when we return home to our souls, we awaken to our consciousness within, which is heavenly spirit.  We are trying to turn this spirit, into a Great Spirit, by trusting eternal knowledge, written on your heart, perfectly.  To read this information one must enter the seeking or vision questions. A Magenta person, teaches us, when they achieve their own greatness, to be the Great Caretaker, by teaching us all to dream, to embrace our souls and to live this knowing, with our physical world around us, to bring brotherhood to the masses.

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out: Does this mean one can complete one color - e.g. Magenta - and then proceed to the next which would be?

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  No

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  The next color ascends?

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  It's a path our souls fly upon, like a side walk.

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  I will always be Magenta?

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  Our souls always descend. We will always move down in colors. Learn to be dense, as our souls travel further and closer to Mother Earth. After you move all the overlays, then you move your Magenta, I cannot guess, how long this will be, eons. You know, like a second hand, must turn, then the minute hand, then the hour hand, then the day hand, then the month hand, then the year hand, etc. Time, time, time, eternal we are thine! Thank you God.

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  Well, if we can enjoy life - in union with Earth - and not suffer - then it can go on forever - learning and growing.

White Buffalo Calf Woman:Suffering is heaven's lessons, the vehicle to descending with our souls. It's when we use love, that we earn this right. Turn lessons into treasures. Evolve with the soul.

My darlings it's where we need to be, going up and down rides, always looking out for the other side, can I go up or must I go down, which way will get me over to the clown (healing laughter).  Waves of lights fill me up, now I can drink from that Cup, oh my God who is there to hold me close, I will leap over and forth (have faith). Going round and round, like a ferris wheel, teaching me that it's all for real.  And it's time for us to collide, to begin again, to go for a new ride.Heaven embrace me inside!  Heaven's embrace, the tears of a clown, bring waterfalls and paradise.  It's time for us to allow dreams to shout. Catch the ring, return again, wed thy self your soul, will be let out.  Then you will know bridges, to where castles are legend, because you will be the royal and stout, you will be the blue royal heart of the rainbow ark. All will be part, when they learn their own part, by listening and validating all that's said, then we will be happy home again. Heaven and Earth, will show a new girth, begins a world, full of suns, where brotherhood and sisterhood, will reign/rain!

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  So suffering is needed?

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  Absolutely. What if you never ever suffered?  How would you know what joy is?

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  Would be boring - no need for change!

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  Tears bring us heaven, the waters, that feed all of creation.

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  Yes, but at least Mother earth - the planet - should not suffer - not anymore, should not be raped anymore.

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  Well not really. Suffering is what we do for love. We give to those who do not know or have learn to give. This is what you need to work on. You say things, like you want to do, but you don't. This is not doing what you say. This is a conflict of your soul and your flesh, not happiness, but suffering. You have others who you need forgive, to release you from this pattern. Don't defend, wake up, realize, what you say and do. Make this sacred, validate rather than defend.

This statement is more defending, "I don't feel it that way, to defend - I just inform about the way I see it". Validation is repeating, reverberation of heaven, the spiritual embrace.  Now to unite, your soul, you must do this first, the law of love, repeat, regardless if you like it or not.


Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  Mmhh, it's hard...why repeat? Say exactly what you have said? As if I do not understand the first time?

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  That's right, repeat, regardless, it's validation.  This is law. This is allowing others to feel the way they feel. They are first, this is law. Servant to others first.

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  You said, "I did not do what I said although I promised". (validated topic, but not the voice of other)

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  Look you are still doing this defending, you have yet to validate, even though I repeated twice about your behavior. (We give to those who do not know or have learn to give. This is what you need to work on. You say things, like you want to do, but you don't. This is not doing what you say. This is a conflict of your soul and your flesh, not happiness, but suffering. You have others who you need forgive, to release you from this pattern. Don't defend, wake up, realize, what you say and do. Make this sacred, validate rather than defend.)

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  I just want to explain why!

White Buffalo Calf Woman: Validation is repeating.  Why do you have more rights than others?

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  I have to validate?

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  Yes, it's law of love, allowing others, is first and foremost.

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  You say, "Why do I have more rights than others?" Is it like that?

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  What makes you think you have more rights than others? This is repeating, then you give your point of view.  Not to easy, yet fundamentally easy. What blocks us is often a person, who did not offer us this validation, then we don't allow others to have their own point of view. It's forgiveness, that allows us to be free, to receive and hear others. This is why we must validate, unite our hearts, then negotiate, exchange, what needs to be known in communication.

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  It's like...I always ~ interrupt others, because I am afraid that I do forget what I wanted to say or do not have the possibility to say what's on my mind.

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  You know I am like this too, but if we break the law, then we are not using love. I say, write it down. I carry a book around with me everywhere I go, to be sure to catch those thoughts and songs, that I can share with others.  This issues we don't miss anything. But often, we just can't get it all, but we must trust that our thoughts are carried in the winds of time, to chime, free to be heavenly song. When I forget something, I feel and then start singing, I trust my soul will remember, when my thoughts are somewhere else. But it's always the unification of both soul and flesh, to allows us freedom and joy, the sun dance does rise, the dream survives.

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  And when repeating eveything what others say, all the time, they might think I am stupid or I will feel stupid!

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  What makes you think you have more rights than others? Everyone has fundamental rights and this is how we offer this right. With validation, you are offering another the right, to speak their heart's purpose, their point of view in the Oneness of God. If you don't take the time to make others feel embraced with validation, you will not be able to move into the physical realm with unity, where sharing of stories, negotiation and great building through cooperation. What often happens as the world continually proves, that man, will be out for self, rather than serving others, at odds with each other. Heaven allows, receives, validates, reverberates stillness, like ripples in a pond.

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  You made me think, "Do I have more rights than others...or that we just take those rights (abusive behavior) by not using law or by not validating?"

White Buffalo Calf Woman: When someone doesn't validate or repeat, they are looking like only their opinions count. This is not unity, but separation, feudalism.

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  mmhh

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  Others need to count too, to feel this unity, one must validate and repeat, this time, is the spiritual embrace, the law of heaven

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out: But all the time?

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  Yes, you get better at it later, but even in our elders agenda meetings, we use a stick to talk with. And one must have the stick in order to talk, to create a sense of others are truly listening. Think of of like this, might help you. But heaven reverberates, validates, bounces off the walls, towards the center of unity.

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  Okay - I will practice, sea (envision with a heart) that stick.

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  Listen to your heart, rather than the mind, this is the shift. Okay. That's listening, you did receive. (Here she finally validates the original statement. "Don't defend, wake up, realize, what you say and do. Make this sacred, validate rather than defend."  We are over joyed.)

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  And I thought I was doing this already!

White Buffalo Calf Woman: WE are always learning.

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  Yes, always ... Thank you for the song and lesson. THANK you

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  Love you and talk with you in the hoops, sweet dreams! Aho, Holiness David and I send love in the sacred nine directions of the brass ring, who returns home to know joy and dreams do come true.

Cup of God Flips Over and Pours Out:  Yes, hopefully! Thank you. Love and blessings to you and his Holiness too.  Aho  

Sent later!

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  

Oh (begin flight), Holiness David and I was talking, then we brought up to saying, "I will send you, then not do it". Then you realized that it's about you, and who failed you in the past, yester years. Do your fire ceremonyhttp://www.whitebuffalocalfwoman.org/blessingsandprayers/creatingsacredspace/fireceremony to forgive those who failed to live up to your expectations. Abundance now changes, because soon, all will have like the birds, who fly free, finding food along the way. Aho (flight in heaven, freedom is known).

Reaching for the brass ring
On this Carousel of life
Hoping I will grab it
For me so much delight

Want my dreams to come true
Special ones to share
God will always bless you
His Love in life aware

Family always gathered
Each one you can embrace
Journey on with beauty
Each one your saving grace

Friends to always be there
Whenever there's a need
Wrap their arms around you
With confidence succeed Compassion surely given
Will then be well received
Know the wisdom of this
In life with love concede

All these things I wish for
The Carousel rewound
Peace and love with happiness
Life's brass ring so profound.
