I have just had an experience that has shaken me to my very soul and I would like to ask anyone who reads this to light a candle of peace and strength to go to me (Aly). I leave my home only once a month these days and only when the spirits advise it. Today I was urged to make an early journey out. On the way to the first stop, which is a bit of a country drive, we heard a cry out for help that shook me and my partner to the bone. We stopped immediately and without thinking I got out of the van and heard it again and began walking as well and fast as I could towards the cry, calling to her that we had heard her and help was coming. My mind was split many ways, part of the task at hand to aid this girl, but others were locked in the times that we have called out like that either to the spirits or verbally. The most significant was the night that I was beaten and left to die, the night that I suffered my life changing stroke and so much more. The girl on the side of the road had had a deer cross her path while driving on a rainy day with wet roads. She broke fast and turned her wheel and of course hydroplaned, went over the small culvert bridge and her car flipped totally over on the hood trapping her. She screamed for help for a bit and than managed with the ample help of the spirits to get out of the car which was how we could finally hear her as we passed by. Her chilling words of "I was screaming for help and no one stopped, no one seemed to hear me or care. I thought I would die." Froze much of my being in time. We got her help from 911 and got her father but I can't shake the blending of your voice and mine ringing in my ears over and over again. I can't seem to get my body to step through the shock it had been in, triggered again by the adrenaline of the moment, and realize that our horror is now long, long over. For so very many years now I have frozen at every sound of a car passing or driving up our drive way or people passing nearby speaking with a mix of fear for my life that I will be hurt by them or passed over and not cared about by them. For a time I felt that way about the spirits but I have long gotten over that yet the fear of fleshly souls still remains ever powerful in it's control over me. So, I am asking simply that if there is any physical soul out there drawn to read this who can light a simple candle, any candle, and simply ask any spirit of light and life to bring calm to my body I will be eternally grateful. Thanks and returned blessing be to you for any effort you make in light, Aly
I have no idea when this happened, but I shall light a candle for you my friend. I hope you feel better and please know that I will never NEVER act like other humans have towards you, for I all too well know what that feels like emotionally and yes physically. I would often get beaten on in school and I have spinal injuries from it, and yes no one seemed to care. It is no mere coincedence we became friends. I shall try to focus tonight and try to open my mind once more. Knowing of what happened to you, I shall try my utmost to forget about what has been recent in my life and push it aside, to in a sense 'grow up' more, for I know now that you need a friend whom isn't going to be constantly looking back on things. Thank you so much and I hope to speak to you when you get better.
I also know the pain of the world not caring about you and for people to look past you. I shall light a candle and try to send some healing energy your way tonight.
Life is hard enough without hurting each other. Everyone wants to know the secret to life and I am going to tell you. The secret to life is to help one another thru it. To look beyond yourself and help your fellow wo/man.
Merry Meeting and a very big welcome to you Now and Then! Sorry but I forgot exactly how to spelled it thinking I would be able to look as a wrote. I know that's cheating but at my age it moves from cheating to necessity. :D LOL Anyway, I thank you for your words and efforts on my behalf. All those who took the time to light a candle helped many without knowing it. The young, young girl who got in the accident we learned is out and had only a dislocated shoulder to remind her for many weeks to come to slow down a lot more in the rain when driving. Given what her father said at the accident sight it is a lesson she would do well to apply all the way across the board in reference to her driving. However the major point is that she truly should be dead given how her car looked once lifted out of the ditch/gully. I have had a very rough few days but as I have learned to do I went into myself and connected with my spiritual faith and those I can speak to as a result of it. I grew a great deal actually, at least that is what I believe and only time will tell if I can put all I learned into practice. I will say with some guilt that it is a blessing to me to hear that others have felt strong enough to write openly that they too have been persecuted to some degree for their faith that doesn't match most others. I know logically that it should not make me feel less alone but in my heart it does and honestly it is nice to now feel that there are a few more incarnate souls that live in the realm that I do. The realm where we know to value above all else what is strengthening us spiritual even if it means we must be ever wary about the world we are forced to live in daily. To all those who wrote me privately or here on the boards I remind you that vast are the numbers like us who are devoted to supporting us from the spiritual realms. Their numbers and strength and abilities are mind boggling actually to me. I do feel compelled to honor them and we who will one day be adding to their number to say that maintaining true to your faith in non-aggressive or revenge or retalitory acts will place you well ahead of the greater spiritual goal ALWAYS! In the movie Dune the young boy has a mantra that he quotes that I adore, "Fear is the mind killer. I will face my fear and let it pass through me and when it is gone all that will be left is me." Imagine how horrendous the spiritual path is for the others whose fear is so strong they mask it with rage and in the end they can not find their own essential self! I can think of nothing worse. Thanks again. May each of you have a mysteriously marvelous and blessed week, Aly
Hey Aly...hope everything is going better for you now...have been sending you positive thoughts since i first read this...keep your chin up and always remember the sisterhood is out there for you....just call and we shall come....Sky
Merry Meeting to you all! Thank you so much Sky and the rest of the sisterhood,
I am doing much better actually and it is thanks to the many candles lit and responded to by the spirits that unite and support us all. Blessed be I am indeed. Not everyone gets the chance to realize that and openly be thankful for it so I am even more blessed than most. :D
After doing some mental and emotional purging I decided to keep going and enter into my dietary change for the end of the year celebrations a bit earlier than usual. That has lifted my spirits even more as I do love everything to do with harvest and Samhaim, fall and the coming of winter. I have so much to thank the horned god for this year not to mention about a dozen other gods as well. :D
I suppose that it is only fitting (since I can't delete this posting now that the crisis is past) that we change it to lighting a candle of thankfulness, gratitude and celebration as well as the end of one year and a lot of hope towards the next one being even better! After all, we have the ability to actively connect, praise and worship. We have the knowledge and offer from the spirits on all levels to speak to them, honor them and gain guidance from them. We of the sisterhood are so very blessed indeed! :D
Blessed be your comings and goings and all the mysteriously marvelous things that come and go with them. :D Aly
