By His Permanent Town Hierotheos of Nafpaktos and Agiou Vlasiou
Saint Paisius Velichkovsky (1722-1794) was a grow figure of monasticism who lived a few existence on Mount Athos and communicated in Slavic lands, truly in Ukraine, Moldova and Wallachia, but he gobble up present the Balkan and Russian lands and other areas.
He was a grow prophetic figure in the part of monasticism in the 18th century, having reintroduced to monasticism in the Balkans and Russia its ancient patristic sources, seeing that monasticism had out of the ordinary under the reforms made by Peter the Perfect, in the same way as Russia leaned towards the humanizing and romantic spirit of the West.
From my prevalent studies I academic of the whereabouts and knowledge of Saint Paisius Velichkovsky, truly that he lived for a not up to standard time on Mount Athos, and translated taking part in Ruso-Slavic the texts of the Blessed Fathers of the Cathedral that speak of the hesychastic tradition of the Cathedral (the refinement of the spirit, the fair of the nous and theosis), that is, texts which clinch the participating in "Philokalia". Immobile, he was not positive to lonesome hit upon and take these earth-shattering texts, but he further made practical assert of them, thereby attracting host monks who desired to exist this hesychastic tradition, to whom he further educated it, consequently becoming their spiritual instructor in the hesychastic life.
The Emeritus Lecturer of the Theological Focus of Thessaloniki, Anthony-Emil Tachiaos, who educated for existence the history of the Slavic and other Running Churches, dealt spare with the hesychastic tradition in the Balkans and Russia, seeing that his doctoral broadsheet was on "The Equipment of Hesychasm in the Ecclesiastical Policies of Russia", and he even round himself with Saint Paisius Velichkovsky, seeing that his habilitation broadsheet was courtier "Paisius Velichkovsky and his Ascetical-Philological Focus". These and other studies revealed the life and work of this grow Ukrainian strict.
Immobile, in 1933, the extremely coach uncontrolled the book courtier "The Majestic Paisius Velichkovsky", published by Academic circles Building Impulse. This book had beforehand been published in other languages, that included the account and biography of this grow Ukrainian hesychastic rector, and with this book it was translated taking part in Greek in 2009.
Patently, this book, which I test very earth-shattering, is not speaking taking part in three chapters. The imaginative presents the account of Saint Paisius Velichkovsky, termination at the time he went to Mount Athos. The blink segment includes the biography of Saint Paisius in print by his disciple Hieromonk Metrophanes, which begins at the position the account ends until the contentment of this grow hesychastic Switch on. In the third segment the recount is published by the extremely Saint Paisius Velichkovsky to the abbot Theodosius in the Hermitage of Saint Sophronius of his observe on Mount Athos of the writings of the Neptic Fathers and his summary of them in the Ruso-Slavic communication.
In the Appointment, which precedes the whole work, Lecturer Anthony-Emil Tachiaos, with strict intelligibility and excellent knowledge, makes block annotations of the texts which run through, truly the account of Saint Paisius Velichkovsky, which was exposed in Sekou Monastery by the unhurried Valentina Pelin and translated by the Lecturer. Recover earth-shattering annotations, which facilitate the reader, are recorded in the footnotes of the texts. The bibliographical rate at the end of the book shows the grow bequest of Saint Paisius.
This work is very earth-shattering and have to be read by all who delicacy about these issues, having the status of they are related with the renaissance of monasticism in Moldova, Romania, Russia, and the wider regions. It is customary that the summary of these earth-shattering neptic texts taking part in the Ruso-Slavic communication, which was done by Saint Paisius Velichkovsky, and from nearby taking part in the Vlach-Romanian communication, helped host monks to exist this hesychastic tradition. Strictly, it was this "Philokalia" that the pilgrim had in aim in the massive book "The Way of a Pilgrim".
We mettle control to make itself felt five aspects of the life of this grow Ukrainian neptic and hesychastic Saint of the Cathedral.

Why do they point to know if the Higgs boson exists? BECAUSE:
A picture with a gun down effect sit-in a grafic traces of proton-proton collisions happenings measured by European Accomplice for Nuclear Check in the Pouch Muon Solenoid (CMS) erudition on May 25, 2011 in the go through for the Higgs boson.
"The Higgs boson has yearning been touch the key to resolving the mystery of the origin of mountain. The Higgs boson is related with a twig, called the Higgs twig, theorized to soak the manufacture. As other particles travel at the same time as this twig, they land-dwelling mountain notably as swimmers moving through a group get wet, the education goes. "The Higgs crest is the thing that allows us to understand how the particles land-dwelling mountain," believed Joao Guimaraes da Costa, a physicist at Harvard Assistant professor who is the Standard Touchstone Convener at the LHC's Plan taste. "If offer was no such crest, as a consequence everything would be massless."
The origin of mountain is no mystery. Door Sunup 1:14-19. Honest better read Sunup 1:1. Scientist Herbert Spencer believed that "all legitimacy, all that exists in the manufacture can be hidden in five categories...time, right, action, space and gadget. Recess, right, action, space and gadget. That is a logical cycle. And as a consequence with that in your mind, chill out to Sunup 1:1. "In the beginning," that's time..."God," that's right, "twisted," that's action, "the vent," that's space, "and the earth," that's gadget. Whatever thing that possibly will be believed about everything that exists is believed in that in the beginning verse." (Anyway).
I've yet touch that the Large Hadron Collider and the actions vis-?-vis the go through for the God Mark are one of the best benchmarks for where we are in the prophetic timeline all but provisional. This is to the same degree in my suspicion, the LHC is a post-Shinar Battlement of Babel.
In Sunup 11:1-9 we read the story of the flow from the Battlement of Babel.
"Now the whole earth had one language and the exceedingly words. And as populace migrated from the east, they found a flagrant in the land of Shinar and permanent offer. And they believed to one altered, "Come, let us make bricks, and swelling them overall." And they had slab for stone, and bitumen for case. Along with they believed, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a ascent with its top in the vent, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be split unresponsive the flank of the whole earth." And the Lord came down to see the city and the ascent, which the children of man had built."
"And the Lord believed, "Picture, they are one populace, and they keep all one language, and this is recently the beginning of what they inner self do. And nobody that they median to do inner self now be beyond your reach for them. Come, let us go down and offer confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's have a discussion." So the Lord split them from offer unresponsive the flank of all the earth, and they spent off igloo the city. Followed by its name was called Babel, to the same degree offer the Lord impressed the language of all the earth. And from offer the Lord split them unresponsive the flank of all the earth."
The populace had been told to go forth and prosper and block the earth. But somewhat they "permanent" at Shinar, rebelling versus the Lord's control. Stage, they untiring to strengthen their revolt by igloo a city for "themselves", (so they possibly will be socially sated) and to make a name for "themselves "(to prefer their airs) and to build a ascent that inner self duty-bound the vent (to prefer their untruthfulness gods).
Stage is no sop for them. Stage become quiet lived the populace who had lived earlier the crowd, Noah's sons. They umpire the Battlement was built a sea 100 living after the crowd, so revolt anew began without delay. They possibly will become quiet chill out to in the beginning hand accounts of life pre-Flood and know what a Wrathful God would do. They covert the Essentials in unrighteousness (Rom 1:18) and untiring to build a commemorative to duty-bound the vent so their untruthfulness gods would be revered. But somewhat of God judging them via crowd anew, which He believed He would not do, He judged them by extrication them.
The Large Hadron Collider is the world's peak chic science taste, line about 10 billion dollars. The aim is, according to the file During, five-fold:
1.THE Parentage OF Host
"This decision bears on the knowledge of how mountain comes about at the quantum level, and is the object we built the LHC. It is an without equal do something," Caltech professor of physics Maria Spiropulu, co-leader of the CMS taste, believed in a time."
Let us make a name for ourselves.
2. THE Standard Touchstone
The Standard Touchstone is the reigning theory of scuffle physics that describes the universe's very to the point constituents. Apiece scuffle predicted by the Standard Touchstone has been naked - save for one: the Higgs boson. "It's the forlorn wound in the Standard Touchstone," believed Jonas Strandberg, a theoretical at CERN working on the Plan taste. "So it would obviously be a testimony that the theories we keep now are specifically."
Man seeking to swear himself through his own wisdom? "Whoever trusts in his own mind is a boor, but he who walks in wisdom inner self be delivered." (Proverbs 28:26)
3. THE ELECTROWEAK Dragoon
"A testimony of the core of the Higgs boson would equally help act how two of the essential services of the manufacture - the electromagnetic right that governs exchanges among charged particles, and the weak-willed right that's adult for radioactive fester - can be interrelated."
"And nobody that they median to do inner self now be beyond your reach for them." (Gen 11:6)
4. SUPERSYMMETRY
Newborn theory that would be pompous by the decision of the Higgs is called supersymmetry. This creative idea posits that every convinced scuffle has a "superpartner" scuffle with every different makeup.... "If the Higgs boson is found at a low mountain, which is the recently area become quiet open, this would make supersymmetry a useful theory," Strandberg believed. "We'd become quiet keep to strengthen supersymmetry exists."
We earlier than know that the manufacture is uninterrupted. "For God is not a God if strip but of compact." (1 Cor 14:33). James 3:16 says that painfulness is of every evil work. To come that snug to acknowledging the harmony, flatness, and precision of God but not spruce up that it IS God, is the termination of blasphemy.
5. Support OF LHC
"The Large Hadron Collider is the world's main scuffle accelerator. It was built for vis-?-vis 10 billion by the European Accomplice for Nuclear Check (CERN) to scrabble a cut above energies than had ever been reached on Set down. Exposure the Higgs boson was touted as one of the machine's leading goals.Exposure the Higgs would offer get evidence for the LHC and for the scientists who've worked on the go through for diverse living."
It's an do something if man can prove man? The Tower's ends were to nurture on itself, too. Of the Battlement of Babel object, "The fluctuate in this dumpy course book is among what man requests to grade directed at self glory, self end result, and what God does to sit-in man's impotence and bleakness earlier him. It is man at his best and his noblest challenging to grade his most excellent anti-God act and God steps in and undoes the whole thing." MacArthur
Channel to physicist Michio Kaku on the implications of the God Particle's decision with an ear to the aims of man in igloo the Battlement of Babel. It is an end to nurture on itself:
In opining about the LHC arrive at in focal point 99.999% individual they found the Higgs boson, one editor of an Australian paper had an regulation generous, "ONE Abrupt Atomic Mark FOR SCIENCE, ONE Fiend Dive FOR MANKIND."
The distinction is that considering comparing the LHC do something to the Coupled States's particular moon drink achievements, especially on December 24, 1968, in what was the peak watched divider question at the time, the collected works of Apollo 8 read in turn from the Use of Sunup as they orbited the moon. Organize Anders, Jim Lovell, and Instantly Borman recited verses 1 through 10. They famous God, and took one giant shoot for mankind- "as His witnesses".
The populace who are vivacious in and who are vis-?-vis and who letter on the doings in the lab under the Alps at Switzerland, use God language, refer to God's creations but do not spruce up God. During is one example:
Lisa Randall wrote a book called "Knocking on Heaven's Door: How Physics and Arithmetical Pose Read the Foundation and the Tide Cosmos" and in it she refers to the LHC --
"Nonetheless my other side to exaggeration, the LHC belongs to a world that can recently be described with superlatives. It is not only large: the LHC is the leading slot machine ever built. It is not only cold: the 1.9 kelvin (1.9 degrees Celsius better-quality completely close) heat up obligation for the LHC's supercomputing magnets to act is the coldest unfolded region that we know of in the universe-even colder than apparent space. The repetitive twig is not only big: the superconducting dipole magnets generating a repetitive twig trimming than 100,000 get older stronger than the Earth's are the strongest magnets in trade falsehood ever ready."
Isn't man great! We can do things!
Algernon Swinburne, English novelist, wrote a poem in 1871 called "Slow music of Man". In the book, "Swinburne and His Gods: The Roots and Increase of an Separate Prose" we read this quote about why Swinburne desirable to make a poem called "Slow music to Man": to sing the at all cuff unresponsive supplies, the contradictory services of life unresponsive character, and unresponsive the God of his own institute. It might end somehow consequently with a cry of cuff unresponsive the extravagance of a hairless deity:
"And the love impression of earth as thou diest sounds unresponsive the graves of her kings, Celebrity to man in the make a note, for man is the master of supplies."
Yet the bible says, "We do, nonetheless, speak a post of wisdom and the laid-back, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nobody. No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been tightly packed and that God preordained for our glory earlier time began. None of the rulers of this age silent it, for if they had, they would not keep crucified the Lord of glory. Nonetheless, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has through for persons who love him" but God has revealed it to us by his Strength. The Strength searches all supplies, even the original supplies of God. 1" (1 Cor 2:6-10).
The lesson of the Battlement of Babel, and I unreliable the LHC equally, is that considering man searches the original supplies of God lacking and aloof from the Strength, worshiping the institute and not the Novelist, hold what happens:
"For notwithstanding they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave repute to him, but their education became useless and their barmy hearts were darkened. Despite the fact that they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the principled God for images ready to hold because life man and nature and flora and fauna and reptiles." (Romans 1:21-23)
"They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served twisted supplies sensibly than the Creator-who is for good praised. Amen." (Romans 1:25)

What advice can more experienced players give as we figure out what characters to play in our first game?
Are there any good printed character sheets out there yet? I searched through Reddit and didn't find much beyond this one, which is good enough but I expected to find a lot more. What do you use for a character sheet?
How important is it to have a character in the group who can cast healing magic? Is a Ranger good enough at covering that role or will we need more healing? I am worried about the ramifications of no more "magic item shops" and so being unable to buy wands of CLW to cover a party that has a lack of healing spells like you could in 3.X edition.
Can a Warlock cover the arcane caster role of a group, or is his spell/day too limited for that? How important is it to even have an arcane caster?
Any other advice/tips for someone coming from Pathfinder to 5E?

PLEASE SHARE this film, it's important people know about the genocide still taking place and that justice is served. It's not acting in Christ consciousness when we turn our heads on matters of this magnitude, when lives of so many are at stake. Not to mention the healing for those who still suffer from these crimes against humanity perpetrated by church and state.

The best way for an attraction spell to work is to charge and amulet with it's power. The spell will do it's work all the time when you carry this amulet with you. Imagine the self-confidence and power you will feel knowing that the attraction spell is constantly putting the spell into the universe and everything surrounding you!
This spell is fast and easy to cast. It does require a good amount of focus in order to charge the amulet. This attraction spell is the most powerful when cast on Sunrise on a Friday (This is when Venus rules both the hour and day).
You will need:
Cardamom essential oil (love, lust, sexual energy)
Attar of Roses, also known as rose oil (love, beauty, luck, protection)
Either Opal for beauty, luck, power and emotional balance or Zircon for beauty, love, peace, sexual energy and emotional balance.
Attraction Spell - Opal
CREATING THE ATTRACTION AMULET
To begin you crystal or stone must be clean and clear from any past negative energy. After that the stone must be "activated". In order to clear the stone you must wash it in saltwater, seawater or holywater. I usually let mine sit in it's bath for a little while after cleaning, then give it a good rinse of fresh saltwater. There are two ways to activate the stone. The first method it to take it outside on a Full Moon and hold it in the light. You should begin to feel the vibrations of the stone after a few minutes. The second method is to give it a light tap or rub after cleaning.
After your stone is cleansed and activated put one drop of the Cardamom oil and two drops of the attar of roses on it.
Prepare you magick cirlce and altar (if you do not know how to do this you can find the information under the "spell casting terms" section of this site) and place your stone on it.
Begin the ritual - Once you have gathered your focus and energy say the following -
"At the sunrise
Fill light my eyes
Love, beauty and luck bring to me
So I have asked, so mote it be."
After you have said this begin creating your cone of power. This is where you chant, sway or play your drums in order to focus your energy. As you gather more focus the intensity of your actions should increase. See, in your mind, the energy collecting and forming a cone going from you to the stone on your altar. When you focus is at it's climax release it into the stone by saying the following -
"Air, Water, Earth, Fire
Hear my words, see my desire.
Power this crystal to work for me.
The work is done, so mote it be."
See the power and focus you gathered transferring into your stone. Your amulet is now charged and carries the power of the attraction spell. You can tie the stone onto a piece of string, braided rope or whatever you like. You can also just keep it in your pocket, but it should be in close contact with you as much as possible.
That's it for this attraction spell and charging your amulet with it!

The fae are shy creatures, made so by years of mistreatment and misunderstanding by humans. They are jealous of the physical world which contain the living, breathing, trees and plant life they so love and have so carefully reproduced in their own world. Our callous treatment of nature infuriates them.
You must work first to win their trust. Plant a faery garden as a refuge for the little folk. Leave a corner of it wild and uncultivated. Leaving out gifts of food and treasures for them is a good first step. They love ground ginger, barley, sweets, cream, and anything that glitters. Also clean water, butter, wine, honey, and bread. Never toss out faery libations like you would food for wild animals. They consider this very disrespectful. Make up a little basket of your offerings and leave them on your step, in your garden, or under a tree.
Favorite faery stones are tiger's eye, peridot, jade, lava, fluorite, and especially emerald. Don't expect these gifts to disappear, as faeries are able to extract the spiritual essence of our physical gifts to them (so be sure to leave them in love and with deep respect.) You will, however, have to replace these gifts often in order to keep the faery folk hanging around.

"How about some of the claims of ways to determine if your home is haunted?
This is a new one to me. Place a raw egg on the north side of a room on an altar or fireplace mantel, if the egg cracks its a sign your home is haunted. I guess we can conduct a large scale test on easter.
A rotten smell in your home is a sign of demons. (its also a sign of a bad thermocouple in your hot water heater.) Or a gassy spouse?

On the island of Mytilene (Lesvos in ancient times), near the village of Therme, the villagers had a custom of ascending a certain hill on this day to celebrate the Divine Liturgy in the ruins of a small chapel, although no one knew whence this tradition sprang. In the year 1959, certain villagers began seeing persons who spoke to them, first in dreams, then awake, both by day and by night. Through these wondrous appearances, which were given to many people independently, the holy Martyrs Raphael, Archimandrite of the Ancient Monastery, and Nicholas, his deacon, together with the other saints martyred on the island, told the villagers the whole account of their martyrdom, which had taken place at the hands of the Moslem Turks ten years after the fall of Constantinople in 1463. The twelve-year-old Irene had been tortured, then burned alive in a large earthenware jar in the presence of her parents. On Tuesday of Renewal Week, Saint Raphael had been tied to a tree and his head sawn off through his jaws; Saint Nicholas had died at the sight of this. Although the feast is celebrated today because it is the day of their martyrdom, through the appearances of the Saints as living persons five hundred years after their martyrdom, it is also a singular testimony to the Resurrection of Christ.
APOLYTIKION IN THE FOURTH TONE
On Lesvos, ye strove in contest for the sake of Christ God; ye also have hallowed her with the discovery of your relics, O blessed ones. O God-bearer Raphael, with thee, we all honor Nicholas the deacon and Irene the chaste virgin, as our divine protectors, who now intercede with the Lord.
KONTAKION IN THE FOURTH TONE
On this day Thou hast appeared on the world like stars first as ascetics, then as athletes slain for Christ, and were translated to the heights, through the great torments that ye endured; and them that praise you, ye keep and protect, O Saints.
KONTAKION IN THE FOURTH TONE
Let all of us honour as our protectors and miracle-workers the holy Martyrs who manifestly contended for Christ. Whose relics were hidden under the earth for many years, and who have manifested themselves to us in wondrous ways, Raphael, Nicholas and Irene, as well as those who contended with them in a godly-minded manner.
MEGALYNARION
Let us honour with hymns the Hosiomartyrs of Christ, divine Raphael and venerable Nicholas, together with Irene, the guardians of Lesvos, for helping all.

For many years a monk had been seen walking on the hill at Karyes in Lesvos, Mytilene in Greece. Many Christians and Turks had seen him. The hill was also called Kaloyeros after the monk, who was seen holding a censor and would disappear in a splendour of light.
In 1917 the Turk who owned an estate with olive trees on the hill at Karyes, Hasan Bei, commissioned the police officer of Thermi, Efstratios Sitara to solve this mystery. The short investigation was soon abandoned as the belief was held that these visions were of a supernatural nature.
There was a small chapel there in the name of Panagia. Residents of Thermi held a service there every Easter Tuesday without hindrance from the Turkish owner of the property.
Many saw the monk. Shepherds grazing their flocks heard singing and bells from the chapel.
Tradition said the monk was killed by the Turks, but when this had happened no one knew. There had also been a female monastery there, but had been destroyed by barbarians. There was a strong belief that the place had Divine Grace and was Holy.
After the destruction and problems suffered by the Greeks in Asia Minor, the Turkish olive tree property was given to a Mr Marangos and his family. They sought permission to build a church.
On 3rd July 1959, excavations began for the foundations of the church. A grave was found containing a human skeleton and giving off a sweet fragrance. The head of the skeleton was resting on a round stone, much like a pillow.The head was about 30cms away from the body. The lower jaw was missing. The excavators also found a ceramic tile from the Byzantine era with a Cross engraved on it.
After the discovery of the grave, amazing phenomena started to occur. The bones were put in a sack by a Mr Doukas Tsolakis. He was in charge of the excavations. He could not lift the sack up due to the excessive weight.Noises were heard from the bones. They were also producing a fragrant incense. One of the workers, a Mr Leonidas Sideras kicked the sack and his leg went numb. Tsolakis hand remained motionless. He could not lift the sack. The priest was asked to do a Trisagion - a prayer for the departed. The night before he was due to conduct the service, he was wondering what name he should use. During the night Saint Raphael appeared to the Priest. He told him who he was, and that he was born on the island of Ithaka.
Since then St Raphael has appeared many times to different people. He suffered martyrdom on 9th April 1463.
St Raphael was born Georgios Laskaridis. His father was called Dionysios and his mother Maria. They were a devout family. St Raphael served in the army. He then became a monk and clergyman taking the name of Raphael.
He served as parish priest in the parish of St Demetrios of Loumbardiaris in Athens. He then became Archimandrite and Bishop at the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.
It was when he traveled to France that he met St Nicholas at Morlaix. Nicholas was from a wealthy family. He was a young student from Thessalonika studying at a French university. Nicholas was moved by the teaching of st Raphael and they became firm friends.
They lived in the monastery for nine years. In 1462 Mohammed the conqueror captured Lesvos after a seventeen day siege. It fell on 17th September 1462. The Turks did not disturb the Monastery immediately. After 6 months, in April 1463, during Holy Week, a movement occurred in Thermi, causing some agitation. The Christians went up to Karyes to hide. The teacher Theodoros and the Commumity Chief Vasillios together with his family went up to the Monastery. St Raphael conducted the Divine Liturgy for the last time on Holy Thursday. On Good Friday the Turks came to the Monastery seized Abbot Raphael, Deacon Nicholas, the family of the Community Chief and the Teacher Theodoros. Everyone else had fled to the mountains. The Turks started torturing them to find out the hideout of the others.
Irene, the twelve year old daughter of the Community Chief had her hand cut off in front of her parents, who were tied to a tree. She was then put in a big earthen pot and burned to death. Her father, mother, and the teacher Theodoros were all murdered. St Raphael was horribly tortured in front of Saint Nicholas. St Nicholas died of heart failure, on seeing his mentor murdered.
The Monastery was then torched and the Turks fled. The next night some devout Christians buried the Holy Martyrs secretly.
When St Raphael started to appear to people he revealed everything - where the bones of the Martyrs were buried, the pot where little Irene was burned, the grave of the Teacher Theodoros, and the graves of Irene and her father.
At The site of the Ancient Church, icons were found, Holy Water, Sheets from handwritten Gospels and a round icon of Jesus. St Raphael also revealed the spot where his jaw was.
The grave of Mother Olympia, who suffered Martyrdom in 1235 when pirates destroyed Panagias Old Monastery and killed the nuns, was also found. Three large nails were found in her skull. More nails were found on her body.
In 1963 at the place of the Holy Martyrdom a Convent for Ladies was established.
St Raphael has performed and still performs many miracles to this day.

Our altar is placed on the kitchen's marble case. We moved to this new house some months ago, and I haven't found yet a better place to put it, and sincerely, I think that the kitchen is one of the best places for it to stay. I love my little kitchen and the shelf where the altar is placed is perfect in size for me, since I don't have many objects over it. Kitchens are very powerful places for witches, and I spend a good time over there preparing goodies for my two men. My son loves helping me when I'm cooking, so it's a warm and cosy room to be, with good vibrations. There's this amazing site about magickal kitchens that I can't take my eyes off since I learned about it!
Usually my altar is very simple and plain, like the first photo above. When we're celebrating sabbaths, I add some colored lining and images, according to the celebrations, and Lucas is always adding something, like little rocks and dried leaves he finds in his walks - the two wooden wands on the right of te photos was chosen by him. In Ostara he dyed some boiled eggs to decorate it, and in Beltane he chose the images to put on the wall (I think I said before, we follow the Southern Hemisphere Wheel of the Year, so Ostara was held in September, and Beltane, in October - now we're waiting for Mabon to arrive). As long as Lucas doesn't mess up with the objects, I let him touch everything that's displayed - he's always very respectful - only being careful when the candles are lit, of course. He loves changing the Goddess water every morning, and he often spend some seconds in front of it many times of the day, just watching, as he says. For him it's part of our lives, because he's used to it since he was a little baby. And that's exactly how I wanted it to be.

"SIGHTINGS" 6/7/2012"THE VOICE" AND MEDIA (MIS)CHARACTERIZATION-- DAVID B. CAPES
Martin E. Marty's article "Annenberg Poll on Religion in the Media" brought to our attention a recent survey: "Most Americans Say Media Coverage of Religion Too Sensationalized." I saw that side of the media firsthand. On April 17 I was interviewed by Carol Costello on CNN regarding a new Bible translation I had contributed to called "The Voice Bible. "The interview and subsequent articles falsely positioned "The Voice "as a new Bible translation which leaves out Jesus Christ, angels, and apostles. The title to CNN's online article says it all: "Christ Missing from New Bible." Note: no quotation marks. CNN's interest was prompted by an article the day before in "USA Today "entitled "'The Voice': New Bible translation focuses on dialogue." The "USA Today" article was itself a heavily truncated version of the original story written by Bob Smietana in Nashville's paper, "The Tennessean "entitled Bible gets new voice." Smietana's did a fair job of characterizing the project, but as it passed up the media food chain, a significant part of the story was lost, distorted, and sensationalized. By the time CNN covered it,"The Voice "became a new Bible translation which leaves out Jesus, angels, and the apostles. As one angry fellow said to me: "A Bible without Jesus and the angels! What the heck kind of Bible is that?" Good question. CNN's (mis)characterization of the translation was based on a half-truth. The word "Christ" is not found in the translation because "Christ" is not a translation at all; it is a transliteration of the Greek word"Christos "(which means "anointed one")"." We translated every occurrence of "Christos "as "the Anointed" or "the Anointed One." So Jesus is not missing-as CNN's coverage insinuates-he is front and center in this new translation. The translation team did this to clear up a fundamental misunderstanding. Most in the Bible-reading public take the phrase "Jesus Christ" as his name: "Jesus," his first name and "Christ" his last name. In fact, "Christ" is an honorific title like "Son of God, Lord," and "Savior." But in the western tradition "Christos" was the only title not translated into the new language of the church. In the Latin "Christos "was rendered "Christus," and in the English Bible tradition it became "Christ." Our translation decision was intentional: we hoped to recover something of the titular sense of the term in which Jesus the "Christos "is God's agent, descended from David's royal line, who is chosen ("anointed") and destined to liberate the cosmos from sin, death, oppression, and corruption. We also translated other key terms which happen to be transliterations in all English Bible editions. Words like "apostle" (Greek,"apostolos"), "baptism" (Greek, "baptisma"), and "angel" (Greek, "angelos") we translated "emissary, washing," and "heavenly messenger" respectively. As the blogosphere and airwaves heated up over the media coverage, a number of scholars commented on the sensationalized portrayal of "The Voice". Larry Hurtado, retired Professor of New Testament from the University of Edinburgh, wrote an essay on his blog entitled "On Translation and Hysteria," which addressed the media's mischaracterization. On his blog, "Storied Theology," J. Daniel Kirk showed how CNN was baiting the audience with inaccurate information to drive a bit of Internet traffic. Darrell Bock, Kristi Swenson, Edward Fudge, and Greg Garrett also chimed in to set the record straight. The bottom line is this: both CNN and "USA Today "misrepresented the project. They either did so intentionally (they wanted to see how Christians might react), out of ignorance (they did not know any better), or out of apathy (they did not care enough to get the story right). Likely it was some combination of the three. As the Annenberg study has shown, those who report on religion are not very knowledgeable of it. And as Martin E. Marty has suggested, those who know enough and care enough to report on religion accurately will most often be met with yawns. REFERENCES
