INTERESTING FEEDBACK ON THE 'CALL FOR PEACE'

no sooner had I invited people to join in this venture (see my previous blog, 'JOIN IN THE WHEEL OF LIGHT FOR PEACE!!!') than I was hit with this email ...

my reply follows :D

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

they say ...

Sure it's terrible that people think they must resort to this kind of action to get their point across.
But I ask you all what kind of society is it that breeds that neccessity - What forced these people to the point that they consider this the only way, or best way to carry their message. I doubt that it's a fun prank or the equivalent of a letter to the editor. Something powers these people and makes there attitude warp? What is it? Is there change needed that only such actions will wake the coccooned wealthy folk?

And again with intent. I see that someone is doing another directionless magick/power raising. Why haven't they done it about (for example) the road victims. Oh its lovely to burn candles and feel happy about ones' lot in the universe (and blithely, smuggly, go on with ones' life) but not about looking for real changes to behaviours and attitudes the makes road carnage / collateral violence social acceptable. I'll repeat the earlier number as a reminder: EVERY eight weeks the same sort of number of people die in vehicle accidents in LONDON. (Thats not the UK or Britain thats just London. doesn't include all the other cities in the world. one city every 8 weeks (56 days). every 8 weeks.)

And compare the amount of work, resources and feeling that gets generated. One bombing is more guards, new procedures and world wide press. The road deaths is business as normal. acceptable deaths.


... and my reply ...


so ... spell working is not creating real changes?
Interesting

I am a witch, not a politician, and this is how I go about my business.

As a celtic witch I do not benignly burn pretty candles and feel smug about doing 'fuzzy things' before I go on with my life. This IS my life and I live it every day - candles or not!

I would also like to say to you that I work many spells for many reasons. This is the first time I have invited others to join within this forum. Such a shame that is be-littled before it is even tried.

And if not this subject, which would make you feel better? We could of course pick any. And if you read the invitation it is actually very open - this has merely been the catalyst for group workings for 'world peace' ...

Metaphysically speaking, the idea is to create an energy that manifests and grows with more people having the same 'intent'. Therefore, this positive intent is released into the universe counter-acts the negative intent that is creating such unbalance in the world.

Who are we to say one person is right or wrong? We cannot, and must not go down that path - all we can work on is the challenge as a whole. If that includes burning candles to link the world and to connect energies, then so be it.
If you have any suggestions I would also be open to hear them.
However, I feel it would be a shame to sit and feel we can do nothing - I do not accept this as a truth.

Please be mindful of your words before going on the attack and be-littling others beliefs and actions my friend.

Please also be aware of the powers of the Universe and the powers of collective visualisation - do not make this a small and useless thing that peole are wishing to do. If it is not for you, then that is fine. But I am sure it will be for others.

You assume a great deal in your words, and I am sure you know who assumption is the mother of?

Love and Light to you my friend
(candles are optional)

I would be very interested to read other people's views on this, please feel free to add your comments :D

JOIN IN THE WHEEL OF LIGHT FOR PEACE!!!

Hello and Merry Meet ~

Due to events currently happening in our world, a group of us around the world have decided to stage a world-wide three day/cycle 'Wheel of Light for Peace'.
We ask that you join us and also pass this message on to as many people as you know that may be interested in helping out.

What it is:
Through focussing our energy through the lighting of candles en masse, throughout the world at a specific time - we send out the healing energies and prayers of 'Peace'. We have specified a certain time to light your candle and ask for you to let it burn for at least 30 minutes before extinguishing it, and then to light it the following evening at the same time and then the following evening after that at the same time. The Wheel of Light turns around the world, giving Peace a chance to manifest over 72 hours around the world.

What we ask is that you do the following:
*8PM, Tuesday 19 July 2005 (wherever you are) - Light your candle and say aloud: "Only Love Prevails" and add your own thoughts and prayers for peace.
*Leave your candle burning for at least 30 minutes and extinguish with the same words "Only Love Prevails"
*Envisage that you have passed on the flame to the next person about to light their candle.
*Light your candle at 8PM on Wednesday 20th and then again on Thursday 21st July in the same way for the final time.

The 'Wheel' shall commence in New Zealand, being 'first to see the sun' and shall end there to complete the Peace Wheel.

This is not a 'chain letter', we are not binding you to send this message on or to participate, but we are thankful if you are willing to be a part of this Wheel of Light.

Blessed Be,
Diamond Tiger
