Water

Maybe it was the peace of the Atlantic Ocean surrounding the boat, but I've noticed this week that I have never been so aware of myself. They say that when you connect with a body of water your energy just calms to a point where you can mediate. Now I could not do it much because my grandmother was rooming with me and she is like me a bit of a recluse and came back and read in the room, but when she was out with the others I had the opportunity to actually sit down and meditate on the ocean. As I know from the past water can be a powerful substance, from creating hills and valleys to destroying towns and cities. In a way it has very powerful energy to it. Recently about four years ago while still searching, and still am, through the craft I found that I connect with water quite well. I can understand it's force and it's will to create and it's need to destroy. For a good time I have believed that everything has a duality, what is up there must be a down, where there is a day there is a night, ETC. For this I believe that the same for fire, earth and air water has it's duality, but duality doesn't mean just a good and just a bad. No duality to me means that what one must be created another must be destroyed. It's more a middle ground than anything.

For billions of years water has created hills and valleys and gave us a reason to create civilizations by it's structures. If you have studied history you find that the first towns and the first civilzations are along river ways and oceans. Why is this? Well it's simple when we see settlement in watery areas we see that people start to develop an agriculture society so water is needed to grow those crops to feed their tribe/city/village. Water is also a means of transportation. When we build societies in these areas we also make way for other people to explore and expand their land. We also need a means to transport goods and rivers and oceans are a great way of transportation. Boats were the first means of alternative travel for a long time, from small canoes to large sailing ships. Water is a primary example a reason why nomadic tribes settled down thousands of years ago along with the discovery of farming and domestication.

Along with it's creation of cities and carving out areas know to us, water is also a reason why we see a bit if destruction. From rain's intensive power to knock out all communication with flooding to killing thousands with brutal tidal waves. When water gets out of hand is when earth creates an angry shock that gives water it's big power to destroy cities, with the example of the major tidal wave that hit Japan that followed a massive earthquakes, it was powered by all the quake's effects. Even when we have siesmec activity off land we still see great waves hit shores with great intensity. The tidal wave that hit Japan was the largest that the country has seen in a long time, knocking out power lines and take houses with it. THAT is the power of mother earth's waters! Still it's sad to see people loose their homes, I am amazed how quickly everything has it's domono effect when water is involved. Just recently towns along the Mississippi river was flooded, due to a slow moving storm. Rain in areas have made the Mississippi overflow into peoples' yards and engulfing towns in it's flood waters leaving many homeless in the process. Even though people had warning some wanted to stay. Water is a very valuable resource and it's powerful effect is so great that one drop can just destroy or create. It is also very unpredictable to see if the weather calls for light rain to water your crops or a heavy slow moving storms that destroy entire towns with it's massive effect. About ten percent of the worlds water is drinkable and all of it we rely on it for purposes we see fit and it is carried me to the bahamas and back. Everywhere this resource is very valuable for our survival.

I'm back from international waters

Greetings

I am back from international waters and I do have some things to share with all of you in the future. I did write a blog post while I was on the ship, because half of the time I was bored and inspiration came to me like a ton of bricks. Yeah that powerful! I also wrote a poem and a chant. So I will put those on in the future. My blog post needs some tweaking so expect that in the next few days. Just to let you people know when you are at sea for seven days to tend to get use to the rocking of the ship. So when I go off the ship I felt like the land was rocking and right now I still feel it a bit when I sit. I did get photos of NYC Nassau, Bahamas and Orlando, FL. If you are not friends with me on Facebook please do my pictures are there. Just search Candace Benoit. I do have almost all of my settings to private.

So anyways I had semi-fun but I would never do a cruise again, just saying.

Bright Blessings

Sharing a Spell: Stop Rumors/Lies

Greetings.

I don't have a wonderful blog post for you this time but I do have a spell to share with you to stop rumors, or to stop someone from talking crap behind your back, or just to shut someone up. I just found this spell today and I though I would just share.

The history behind this spell is very simple. There was a man who was talking crap about a certain friend of mine, and it really bothered him. This person also attacked our youth group and saying nasty things about us being perverted pedophiles and other nasty rumors just to get a following in his ministry. It was more like trying to gain power. So I took this in my hands and devised this spell to stop him from saying anything else about anyone or the group.

Now what you need is,

A small section of cloth enough to make a small face. (The color can be whatever you wish it to be, mine was black)
A needle and some thread

First you take the cloth an cut a circle, after that cut out eyes and a mouth. Now take the needle and thread the needle, with the thread. When you are done start stitching the mouth of the face close. As you do that chant this:

Needle needle sew these lies and rumors inside, let them stay in and never leave. For these will never see the light of day

Say this over and over with feeling and intent. You can also change the words up a bit.

Remember to keep the energy up until the person has enough of their little charade.



I am going on a cruse tomorrow so I don't want to leave my readers with a small fourth of July message. I also hope that everyone is having a good summer and is staying cool.

Bright Blessings

Candace

Happy 4th of July

I just want to say Happy Independence Day to the USA. I live here so I might as well celebrate the Declaration of Independence being signed. I like my freedom!

The sad thing about today is that Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died.
