Newsletter Sept 2014
   

 

 

Greetings!    

 

Well here we are the 1st September with two Festivals of Light, Weston-super-Mare on Saturday the 20th and Glastonbury on Saturday the 27th. The programs of free workshops and presentations are now up on the website www.festivaloflight.biz

I have also decided to offer my latest Kindle  eBook for free until September 5th so you will need to be quick if you would like to take up this free offer.

There is a bit of a 'Sun' theme this month with the  article on Vitamin D, The Scarab that was thought to roll the sun disc across the sky each morning and the bindweed flowers.

If you are interested in a sterling silver healing amulet please contact me before the next full moon on 9th September when I will be cutting silver to make more up.

      


Many Blessings   Liz

People low in vitamin D twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's         Courtesy of WDDTY.com

21 August 2014

 

People who are low in vitamin D-the sunshine vitamin-are far more likely to develop dementia and Alzheimer's in older age.


There appears to be a direct link between vitamin D levels and the cognitive diseases, say researchers at the University of Exeter.  Dr David Llewellyn, the research team leader, said he expected to see an association between low vitamin levels and dementia risk, but was surprised by the findings. "We actually found the association was twice as strong as we anticipated," he said.


They tracked the health of 1,658 older adults who didn't have dementia or Alzheimer's at the beginning of the trial.  By its end, nearly six years later, 171 had developed dementia, including 102 with Alzheimer's-and it had affected those with the lowest levels of vitamin D in their blood.


Those who were moderately deficient in vitamin D had a 53 per cent increased risk of developing dementia, but those who were severely deficient ran a risk of 125 per cent.  Conversely, those with the highest levels of the vitamin also had the least risk for dementia.


Vitamin D levels can be easily topped up by being out in the noon-day sun during the summer months for at least 15 minutes three times a week.  During the winter, and especially in northern climates, vitamin D levels can be topped up by eating oily fish or taking supplements.

Phases of the Moon

    

Next Full Moon - Tuesday 9th September 01:39  
Dark of the Moon - Tuesday 23rd September

Metaphysical Healing Amulets

 I start by cutting in Sterling Silver on each Full Moon. Each one is made especially for the recipient and I am guided as to what design is required for each person, although these seem to be mainly geometric thus far but I can add a sterling silver animal charm.  The next full moon is on the 9th of September so if you are interested please email me.  The price will be £25 to £33 postage included in the United Kingdom. When I have photographed them lots of orbs have shown up as well.

 
 Origins of the Bluebird as a Symbol of Happiness

 

The symbol of a bluebird as the harbinger of happiness is found in many cultures and may date back thousands of years. One of the oldest examples (found on oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty, 1766-1122 BC) is from pre-modern China, where a blue bird qingniao was the messenger bird of Xi Wangmu, the 'Queen Mother of the West' who began life as a fearsome goddess and Immortal. By the Tang Dynasty (618-906 AD) she had evolved into a Daoist fairy queen and the protector/patron of "singing girls, dead women, novices, nuns, adepts and priestesses...women [who] stood outside the roles prescribed for women in the traditional Chinese family".  Depictions of Xi Wangmu often include a bird-the birds in the earliest depictions are difficult to identify, and by the Tang Dynasty, most of the birds appear in a circle, often with three legs, as a symbol of the sun.

Selenite

 

Slenite wands  

Selenite helps with disorders of the

nervous system and can also provide some help with epileptic disorders. It aligns the spinal column and increases overall flexibility. It helps with wrinkles and with age spots and is useful for those who suffer from light sensitivity.

 

Selenite is best known for its ability to rapidly shift blocked energy, clear away negative energy and lessen, or remove, emotional turmoil and confusion. Selenite aids concentration and clear thinking, provides clarity of mind and strengthens your own decision making process

 

Selenite helps us to reach new states of consciousness. Meditating with Selenite can help to expand your sense of spirituality.  

Do not place selenite in water as it will start to dissolve.

Sun God?  

 

Scarab Sun Disc  


It is generally accepted that the sacred scarab beetle of egyptian mythology originated from the species Scarabaeus sacer, although the ancient worship of this beetle was eventually extended to all members of the scarab or dung beetle family. The scarab was personified by Khepri, a sun-god associated with resurrection and new life.

The ancient egyptians believed that the scarab beetle came into being of itself from a ball of dung (the idea of self-creation). It was worshipped under the name of Khepri, which means 'he who has come into being' or 'he who came forth from the earth'.

The god Khepri was associated with the creator-god Atum and was regarded as a form of the sun-god Ra. Just as the beetle pushed its ball of dung over the ground, so Khepri in the form of a scarab beetle, it was thought, rolled the solar disc across the sky each day

Bindweed, Greater

Botanical: Convolvulus sepium

 

Hedge Convolvulus. Old Man's Night Cap. Hooded Bindweed. Bearbind.


The Greater Bindweed, or Hedge Convolvulus (C. sepium), is a hedge plant found abundantly throughout England and Scotland, but only of local occurrence in Scotland. Like the Field Convolvulus, it is, in spite of the beauty of its flowers, regarded as a pest by both the farmer and the gardener, its roots being long and penetrating in a dense mass that exhausts the soil, and its twining stems extending in masses over all other plants near, and strangling them to a still greater degree than its smaller relative  

 

The leaves of this Bindweed are arrow-shaped and large, somewhat thin and delicate in texture. They are arranged singly on alternate sides of the stem, as is the case with all species of Convolvulus and from their axils spring the flower-stalks, which are square and in every case bear only one large blossom, conspicuous for its snowy whiteness. The flowers are among the largest which this country produces. The calyx is entirely hidden by the two large bracts that enclose it, and which completely hide the flower while in bud, a feature that has gained it also the name of 'Hooded Bindweed,' and has led some botanists to place it in a different genus, Calystegia, the name being derived from two Greek words signifying 'beautiful covering.' The specific name, sepium, is derived from the Latin sepes, a hedge, andrefers to its place of growth.  

 

The flowers are in bloom from July to September, and like all the other species expand during sunshine and remain closed during dull weather. They do not, however, like those of the Field Convolvulus, close during a shower.  

 

Anne Pratt (Flowers and their Associations) notices the fact that while some twining plants follow the apparent course of the sun and turn round the supporting stem from left to right, others, like the large White Bindweed or Convolvulus, twine contrary to the sun, from right to left, and never otherwise; even if the gardener turn it in another direction, the plant, if unable to disengage itself and assume its natural bias, will eventually perish.

THE SPECIFIC TASK
by

Rumi  

 

There is one thing in this world that must never be forgotten.

 

If you were to forget everything else, but did not forget that,  

 

then there would be no cause to worry;  

 

whereas if you performed and remembered and did not forget anything else,  

 

but forgot that one thing, then you would have done nothing whatsoever.  

 

It is just as if a king had sent you to another country to carry out a specified task.  

 

You go and perform a hundred other tasks, though you have done nothing at all.  

 

You have come into this world for a particular task,

and that is your purpose;  

 

if you do not perform it, then you will have done nothing.
