Ask random set of people at any Pagan gathering what the
word 'fairy" means to them, and you'll get a different
answer from each and every person. In today's eclectic spiritual mar-
"ketplace, the word "faery" is applied to a cornucopia of non-human
spiritual beings,including elemental, plant Deva's, tricksters, house-
hold elves, wood spirits and many others. Even the term "feary"
itself has a plethora of meanings, ranging from the nature or powers
of these sacred beings to their Otherworldly realms of existence.
Ask the same question in one of the Celtic Lands of Europe--
particularly in the United Kingdom or Ireland--and you'll get
an entirely different response. there , the spiritual entities who
ar popularly referred to s " the faeries " are a very specific type
of being . 'Fairy" isn't even the preferred name used to refer to
them; they ar most often referred to by respectful euphemisms
such " The Good People," The Good Neighbors" or " The
People of Peace," and less obvious labels like" The Others"
(or even simply "them"

The Christmas Slug
One Christmas day in the country of Panama, Santa Claus found himself lost. 'You must go two more miles East" .said a villager to Santa. While Santa was preparing to leave. A slug named Slimy decided he wanted to travel with Santa. So the the slug slithered off his rosebush and into Santa's ' bag of toys and gifts. He hid in the bottom of the bag to stay warm."
Well everything was going well that Christmas. Special glass bells for the mission at San Miguel were being made last. Final preparations were being made and Christmas would soon be at hand.
"There are some strange fellow living up here" said an elf as he passed the bowl that Slimey lived in with leaves and tree twigs. Too bad you won't be coming with us tonight"..
Suddenly a noise was heard .Squeak , rumble crash!! "what is that! shouted an elf. '"A bolt is stuck in the machine and it damaging the glass bells. All the supplies are put away said a second elf named Doil in frustration . Niip the elf got an idea. He went and brought Slimey . "Give us some of that great ooze of yours." So the slug slim ed the stuck bolt. "Start her up !' shouted someone. Creek, crack hmmmm.
"That will do till we can fix it good." said an elf. So they wrapped up everything ,, and off went Santa Clause and that is the story of The Christmas Slug The End. by R.G.

The Storytelling Stone Tales and myths of the American Indian
In the beginning. Prairie Falcon and Crow were sitting on a
log which projected above the waters that covered the
world. They asked Duck what number he had dreamed of,
and duck replied, 'Two." Prairie Falcon assigned him the
number three and told him to dive into the water and bring
up some sand from the bottom. Duck dived to get the sand,
but before he reached the bottom, the three days he had
been allotted expired . He awoke from his dream, died, and
floated to the surface. Prairie Falcon brought him back to
life, however,and asked him what the trouble was. Duck
said that he had come out of his dream, died, and then
floated to the top.
Prairie Falcon now asked Coot what number he had
dreamed of. Coot replied, 'Four'. then Prairie Falcon
assigned him the number two and ordered him to dive for
sand. Before Coot reached the bottom, two days elapsed,
and he came out of his dream. He too died, and his body
floated to the surface of the waters. Prairie Falcon saw the
corpse, recovered it, and brought Coot back to life. He
asked Coot what had been the trouble, and Coot replied
that he had passed out of his dream.
Then Prairie Falcon asked Grebe what number he had
dreamed of. Grebe replied that he had dreamed of five.
Prairie Falcon assigned him the number four, and told him
that was the number of days he had to bring sand from the
bottom of the waters. Grebe was successful. He dived all
the way to the bottom of the waters and secured some sand
in each hand. As he was returning to the surface, he passed
out of his dream, died, and floated to the surface. Prairie
Falcon brought him back to life and asked if he had se-
cured and sand. Grebe said that he had, so Prairie Falcon
wanted to know what he had done with it. Grebe explained
that it had all slipped from his grasp when died. Prairie
Falcon and Crow both laughed at him and said that they
didn't believer him. Then they looked at his hands and found
sand under the finger nails. They took that sand and threw
it in every direction. This is the way in which they made
the world.

My Cabyll Ushtey Story
Such God awful weather was not unusual for this part of Scotland. The clans of Clarny Coohan slept soundly under peat thatched roofs. In mock safety from what was about. The Cabyll Ushtey of Norensbak
was afoot this night. Young Kerl Coohan could not sleep. The run in with his father . Over the lamb that had
almost been left out of the holding pen , was still in Kerls head. He could detect some noise coming dimly from the sheep shed. Though the Cabyll Ushtey was related to a horse in some awful way. The sheep did not put any faith in faint relations of the spirit kind . Kerls cotten night shirt offered little sense of
warmth and protection against the winds.
Kerl being No small boy but a worthy lad of 13 years. He knew enough not be about Scotland at night
alone ill prepared for elements . and the Balrogs that roamed loose in search of and easy sheep dinner.
Though the trousers his mother and sisters wove on the family loom were crude and plain brown.
They were thick and good against Gods worst rains. His green plaid shirt was a makes shift camouflage.

Kerl opened the back door of the small house. Tough boots from the war in Turkey ,dared anyone to

Excuse me!!
I was looking at political cartoon lampooning the "Rich" . Then I thought If I went to the gym would not I expect to see large well trained people? people I could rely on to know how to get those fabled six-pack abs and Navy Seal conditioning? What could a fellow with minimal training experience teach me.
Or how about my Karate instructor from 10 yrs. back ? Or the senior students . Why should I have to train to get as proficient as they were? There ought to be a la
w or better still a President to stand up for me. Or maybe I should get my proverbial butt in gear and with Gods help try to manifest some of the things I want and think I deserve into my life.
I know many will think My views simplistic ,But I tried to gripe that life was unfair to me for not being rich.
God willing I will get plugged into something or someone who will steer me in the right direction. But i don't
see how attacking others good fortunes is going to benefit me. If I claim to be a rigorously . honest American
citizen. see you later .

Tengu, Magicl Mystical Creature
The Tengu ( tin-goo) of Japan are strange half-bird, half human
creatures. they have the body of a man and the face of a bird and
carry a fan made of feathers. Their main purpose in life appears to
be to cause trouble, particularly by teaching humans how to use
weapons of war. They are woodland creatures with a character partly
like the Nature spirit Pan and partly like a poltergeist. On occasion
they will possess a human,causing their victim to show great skill in
dancing and weapons. When the Tengu spirit is driven out, the
human remembers nothing. these beings are said to be able to
shape-shift into any animal form and have great magical powers.
Creatures of old Shinto religion, the Tengu were the fierce
enemies of Buddhism during the Middle ages They loved to tempt,
fool, or carry off priests or set fire to the temples. This antagonism
may have come about because the Tengu wanted their worship
restored, something forbidden by Buddhists. The Buddhist hell
even had a place called the " Tengu road," an area said to be
reserved for hypocritical priests who had fallen into sin and forsaken
their vows.
Some Japanese who live in the more remote regions still
believe in the Tengu. Today, the creatures are said to be sharp-eyed
bird-like spirits who haunt isolated areas and, if not given offerings,
play pranks on trav
elers or steal lost children.
An ancient Japanese hanging scroll portrays creature similar
to the Tengu. tis being has a woman's head, arms, breasts, and
torso: its back lets are bird feet, and it has two wings and a long
feathery tail.
Psychological Attributes: Positive--One who is attracted to the Old
Religions, rejecting the accepted modern ones. Negative-- a fol-
lower of a specific religion who is constantly shoving his or hers per-
sonal beliefs in the faces of non-believers.
Magickal Attributes: Very dangerous, as they like t possess humans
and through them cause violent trouble, although the Tengu have
great magikal power. Dance, weapons, war.

Brave95Gate: Tenskwatawa's Dream
Brave95Gate: Tenskwatawa's Dream: "As the wave of white settlements pressed westward,the Delawares' mantle passed to the Shawnee peoples, who pro- duced a significant prophet ..."
Tenskwatawa's Dream
As the wave of white settlements pressed westward,the
Delawares' mantle passed to the Shawnee peoples, who pro-
duced a significant prophet of their own in Tenskwatawa, or
'Open Door' the brother of the great political leader
Tucumseh. Ror the first 37 years of his life Tenskwatawa lived
very much on his brother's shadow as a rather dissolute med-
cine man with a weakness for alcohol. the path branched,
and he followed the broader track . It led to a house called
Eternity . This was a place of punishment, where he could hear
souls in torment 'roaring like the falls of a river'.
Even though Tenskwatawa was no Christian, the
imagery would have been familiar to any missionary. Priest
could also have supported the message that he drew from
his vision, for he preached a strict moral code , banning
alcohol- which he now abandoned- along witn polygamy,
violence against women and children, fornication and
dishonesty. Most startlingly of all, he urged his followers to
throw away their traditional medicine bags-the bundles of
talismans that wer their most sacred possessions-as a
symbol of their desire to start a new life.
Tenskwatawa's vision of the future, though was firmly
in the native tradition. A time was coming, he claimed , when
the Great Spirit would sweep across the land, darkening it
for two days. Afterward, the whites would be gone, buried
alongside the Native American people who had failed to
change their lives, Then the Spirit would release the lost
game animals from the place where they had been hidden
and the virtuous would reposes the land. The promised
time was just a few years away.
For almost seven years , Tenskwatawa attracted
thousands of followers from across the Midwest to his
village, known t the whites as Prophetstown . then he met
disaster . In 1811 US troops approached Prophetstown while
his brother was away, and Tenskwatawa encouraged the
warriors gathered There launch a preemptive attack,
ppromising them invulnerability . TRhe white soldiers'
gunpowder , he said, would be turned to sand.
The attack, which became know as the Battle of the
Tippecano river, was not a success, and relatives of the
fighters who were killed turned on Tenskwatawa,blaming
him for the defeat. Although they subsequently released him
unharmed, his reputation had been damaged beyond repair
and he never exerted much influence again.

Aspergers syndrome
Nonverbal Communication over the lifespan:
People involved with individuals who have AS have noticed that
as individuals with AS gain life experience,many begin to get an
understanding of theory of mind and nonverbal communicate-
tion. Research with new technologiessuggests that when people
with AS do demonstrate a theory of mind, the ability seems to
reside in a different part of the brain than it does in NTs,or at
least is processed in a differentplace. The capacity to understand
theory of mind and nonverbal communication in people with
AS also seems to be very vulnerable to failure when the person
with AS is stressed or in an emotionally charged situation . It has
also been observed that for many with AS , even though they may
understand the concept of theory of mind intellectually , they are
not able to use it in interactions withother people . The same is
true for nonverbal communication. They may gane an under-
standing of the concept of nonverbal communication, but are
unable to decode it when they see it.

meditation
For thirty years I went insearch of God, and when I opened my eyes at the end of this time,I discovered that it was really He who sought for me. __ Bayad al-Bistami, Translations of Eastern Poetry and Prose
I had heard about a superior type of manpossessing the keys to everything which is a mystery to us. this idea of a higher and unknown
atwithin the human race was not something
I could take simply as an allegory. Experience
has proved, I told myself,that a man cannot reach truth directly , nor all by himself. An
intermediary has to be present, a force still
human in certain respects, yet transcending humanity in others. somewhere on our Earth
the superior form of humanity must exist, and
not utterly out of reach. In that case
shouldn't all my effortsbedirected toward
discovering? Even if ,inf spite of my certainty ,
I were the victim of monstrous illusion,I
should lose nothing in the attempt,For, apart
from this hope, all life lacked meaning for me.
