Greetings!
Nearly October already, in past years this was often a sunny month but who knows what is in store for us as we seem to be experiencing some rather erratic weather patterns of late. This was the main reason I have decided not to hold the December Festival of Light but the dates for 2012 are below. From the next one in April we shall be in the elegant Ballroom. We just ran out of space in the three suites. There will be a large area for the healers to work in and much more space for the presentations and workshops. It was standing room only on the 17th September for most of the presentations so I am very confident we can accommodate all comers from now on and keep the free admission.
Don't forget the Iridology workshop, just a few places left now. I will also have a Gift Fayre in the morning and for an hour from 5pm so a great opportunity for purchasing some very affordable gifts.
Don't forget the Newsletter Archive with a link from each of my websites.

New Iridology Workshop
| |
Saturday 12th November 12noon - 5pm The Winter Gardens W-s-M
A few places remain, book early to avoid disappointment.
I am now a semi-retired professional but extensively trained Naturopathic Iridologist. I have decided to offer this workshop in response to those who regularly request a private consultation with me.
This is a special workshop that will serve as a private consultation as none of your details will be revealed to anyone else unless individual participants choose to do so. Each person will receive a tick sheet with their own constitution indicated plus extra printed sheets containing details of their unique special signs.
This Naturopathic Iridology Workshop includes recommendations on nutrition, simple safe naturopathic methods, psychological and spiritual aspects with tried and tested strategies. I work on every level so if you would like to help yourself I can assist you. I am a doctor of Metaphysical Sciences and a powerful Metaphysical Healer. Most people will benefit dramatically after a rejuvenating afternoon taking part in this workshop.
Each participant will receive:-
A short personal Iridology Reading from myself
Four eBooks on Nutritional Medicine and Iridology
Printed material on your particular constitution and special eye signs
A photograph taken by myself of your eyes.
By the end of the workshop you will have a mass of knowledge on how to optimise your personal health and well being.
I can also point you in the right direction if you would like to study iridology with a view to using the amazing art of iridology in your future career.
Arrive from 12noon - starting at 1pm promptly, through to 5 pm.
Photographs and Examinations will take place from 12noon to 1pm and in the break.
Photographs and eBooks will be emailed immediately after the Workshop.
After much consideration I have decided to keep the cost of this workshop at a very low level so financial matters are not a major deterrent. Therefore the full amount is payable as each place is booked. I will be unable to hold places without payment, but will reserve a place so that a cheque can be put in the post by 1st class mail or an online booking made. If for whatever reason an individual is unable to attend I am happy to transfer their place to anyone else the individual would like to nominate at any stage.
Numbers limited @ £35 each.
Book online using Paypal. You can book even if you do not have a Paypal account, just a credit or debit card

Bats Folklore & Mythology 
I've got two different Tibetan Silver Bat Charms! Bats have always presented a problem for those who like to divide things into neat, unequivocal categories. Not only are they nocturnal but they also seem, in other ways, to reverse what appears to be the normal order. They sleep hanging upside down by their feet. They live in shelters such as caves or hollow trees, but they also take advantage of human structures. Like most small animals that are drawn to human habitations, bats have often been identified in folk belief with the souls of the dead. As a result, in cultures that venerate ancestral spirits, bats are often considered sacred or beloved. When spirits are expected to pass on rather than return, bats appear as demons or, at best, souls unable to find peace. According to one well-known fable, popularly attributed to Aesop, the birds and beasts were once preparing for war. The birds said to the bat, "Come with us," but he replied, "I am a beast." The beasts said to the bat, "Come with us," but he replied, "I am a bird." At the last moment a peace was made, but ever since, all creatures have shunned the bat. The earliest version of this story, by the Roman Phaedrus, contained no explicit moral, and perhaps he intended to suggest that bats prefer human civilization to nature. The learned folklorist Joseph Jacobs, however, appended the lesson: "He that is neither one thing nor the other has no friends" (Aesop, p. 63). Today taxonomists place bats in a separate order of mammals, but both laypeople and scientists have puzzled for centuries whether bats are avians, flying mice, monkeys, or something else. Revulsion against them, however, is far from universal, and their quizzical faces have often inspired affection. There were no glass windows in the ancient world, and so people had little choice but to share their homes with bats. According to Ovid, the daughters of Minyas had refused to join the revels in honor of Bacchus and stayed at home weaving and telling stories. As punishment, they were turned into bats, but they continued to avoid the woods and flock to houses. In a similar spirit, the medieval bestiaries praised bats for the way they would hang together "like a cluster of grapes," showing affection that was not often found in human beings In medieval times it was common for the entire household, from the lord and lady to the serfs, to sleep in the great hall of the manor, and little privacy was available. In such close quarters, they must, indeed, have felt rather like bats in a cave. In Africa, Swahili-speaking people have believed that after death the spirit of the departed hovers near his or her body as a bat. People in Uganda and Zimbabwe have believed that bats taking wing in the evening are departed spirits coming to visit the living. The flying fox, a large bat found in Ghana, however, is believed to be a demon in league with witches and sorcerers.

Provin's Rose - A Modern Herbal - Mrs M Grieve
---Medicinal Action and Uses---The petals of the dark red Rose, R. gallica, known as the Provins Rose, are employed medicinally for the preparation of an infusion and a confection. In this country it is specially grown for medicinal purposes in Oxfordshire and Derbyshire.
The petals of this rose are of a deep, purplish-red, velvety in texture, paler towards the base. They have the delicate fragrance of the Damask Rose and a slightly astringent taste.
The British Pharmacopoeia directs that Red Rose petals are to be obtained only from R. gallica, of which, however, there are many variations, in fact there are practically no pure R. gallica now to be had, only hybrids, so that the exact requirements of the British Pharmacopoeia are difficult to follow. Those used in medicine and generally appearing in commerce are actually any scented roses of a deep red colour, or when dried of a deep rose tint. The main point is that the petals suitable for medicinal purposes must yield a deep rose-coloured and somewhat astringent and fragrant infusion when boiling water is poured upon them. The most suitable are the so-called Hybrid Perpetuals, flowering from June to October, among which may be specially recommended the varieties:
Eugène Furst, deep dark red, sweet-scented.
General Jacqueminot, a fine, rich crimson, scented rose.
Hugh Dickson, rather a large petalled one, but of a fine, deep red colour and sweetscented.
Ulrich Brunner, bright-red.
Richmond, deep crimson-red.
Liberty, scarlet-red.

Apache Tear - The Legend
Many years ago when I started working with healing crystals I obtained a supply of unpolished Apache Tears which I would 'gift' to those who had been bereaved. This practice resonated with me and the Apache Tear has always been one of my favourite stones.
The Apache Tear Drop is a form of black obsidian. It is a calming translucent stone, found in Arizona and other parts of the U.S. It is composed of feldspar, hornblende, biotite and quartz. It was formed by rhythmic crystallization that produces a separation of light and dark materials into spherical shapes, and is a form of volcanic glass.
There is a haunting legend about the Apache Tear Drop. After the Pinal Apaches had made several raids on a settlement in Arizona, the military regulars and some volunteers trailed the tracks of the stolen cattle and waited for dawn to attack the Apaches.
The Apaches, confident in the safety of their location, were completely surprised and out-numbered in the attack. Nearly 50 of the band of 75 Apaches were killed in the first volley of shots. The rest of the tribe retreated to the cliff's edge and chose death by leaping over the edge rather than die at the hands of the white men.
For years afterward those who ventured up the treacherous face of Big Pacacho in Arizona found skeletons, or could see the bleached bones wedged in the crevices of the side of the cliff.
The Apache Women and the lovers of those who had died gathered a short distance from the base of the cliff where the sands were white, and for a moon they wept for their dead. They mourned greatly, for they realized that not only had their 75 brave Apache warriors died, but with them had died the great fighting spirit of the Pinal Apaches.
Their sadness was so great, and their burden of sorrow so sincere that the Great Father imbedded into black stones the tears of the Apache Women who mourned their dead. These black obsidian stones, when held to the light, reveal the translucent tear of the Apache.
The stones are said to bring good luck to those possessing them. It is said that whoever owns an Apache Tear Drop will never have to cry again, for the Apache Women have shed their tears in place of yours.
The Apache tear drops are also said to balance the emotional nature and protect one from being taken advantage of. It can be carried as an amulet to stimulate success in business endeavours. It is also used to produce clear vision and to increase psychic powers.
Black obsidian is a powerful Meditation stone. The purpose of this gemstone is to bring to light that which is hidden from the conscious mind. It dissolves suppressed negative patterns and purifies them. It can create a somewhat radical behaviour change as new positive attitudes replace old, negative, egocentric patterns.
I was told recently that this legend was not true but it still resonates strongly with me, and so I am passing it on to you.

Facebook and eMail Virus's
| I'm just including a reminder about Facebook and eMail virus's. There are still some doing the rounds which work by telling you something that you feel worried about, a heart rending missive or very frightening story. Because this touches people they feel that they must let everyone else know. Often these are hoaxes and in fact it is the person who sends these on without double checking who enable this kind of virus to work. Just think for a moment how easy it is to send on these emails or posts, takes no time at all does it. BUT it just serves to clog up our inboxes etc and worse still to fill some with anxiety and even terror. It would be brilliant if everyone double checked this sort of thing on www.snopes.com first and/or took a moment to think it through before spreading often negative energy via the Internet. Perhaps spread some positivity instead, brighten up somebodies day.

What are you 'Weighting' for?

W D 40
Before you read to the end, do you know what the main ingredient of WD-40 is?
'Water Displacement No.40' The product began from a search for rust
preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was
created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical
Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water
displacement' compound. They were successful with the fortieth
formulation, thus WD-40. The Convair Company bought it in bulk to protect
their atlas missile parts.
Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40
that would hurt you. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that
spotty shower screen. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as on
glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your cooker top .... Kazamm! It's
now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.
Here are some other uses:
1. Protects silver from tarnishing.
2. Removes road tar and grime from cars.
3. Cleans and lubricates guitar 20 strings.
4. Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making them slippery.
5. Keeps flies off cows.
6. Restores and cleans blackboards.
7. Removes lipstick stains.
8. Loosens stubborn zips.
9. Untangles jewelry chains.
10. Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.
11.. Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill.
12. Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing.
13. Removes tomato stains from clothing.
14. Keeps glass shower screens free of water spots.
15. Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors.
16. Keeps scissors working smoothly.
17. Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes.
18. It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for
those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the
finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just
remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.
19. Dead insects will eat away the finish on your car if not removed
quickly! Use WD-40!
20. Gives a children's playground gym slide a 20 shine for a super fast
slide..
21. WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and
wipe with a clean rag.
22. Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and
dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick
spots with WD-40 and rewash. Presto! The lipstick is gone!
23. Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to
open.
24. Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close.
25. Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well
as vinyl bumpers.
26. Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles.
27. Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans.
28. Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons, and bicycles for
easy handling.
29. Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running
smoothly.
30. Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.
31. Removes splattered grease on stove.
32. Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.
33. Lubricates prosthetic limbs.
34. Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).
35. Removes all traces of duct tape.
36. Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve
arthritis pain.
37. WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a little on live bait or lures and you
will be catching the big one in no time.. Also, it's a lot cheaper than
the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose.
Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for
fishing are not allowed in some counties .
38. Use it for gnat bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops
the itch. 39. If u spray ur garden pots around the sides it stops slugs/snails eating ur plants : ) 40. Removes chewing gum from anything.
And for some reason............spray it on your arthritic knee joints etc
and it will ease them.
P. S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL..
