March, named for Mars, was the first month of the Greek and Roman calendar. Mars is god of war but also of fertile soil, equivalent to the Greek Ares and Tiu or Tiwazn an old sky god of Europe. He is also equated with the Celtic Teutates and the Norse Tyr. Mars' original name was Mavors. After Jupiter, he is the chief Roman god, often called Marspater, "Father Mars." He has three aspects, the martial god Gradivus, the rustic god Silvanus, and the patron of the Roman state Quirinus. The wolf and the woodpecker are his sacred animals.

March was called Mi an Mháárta or am Mart in Ireland, the seed time, and Hrethmonath, "Hertha's month," by the Anglo-Saxons, honoring the earth mother Hertha or Nerthus. The Frankish name for March was Lentzinmanoth, "renewal month." The Asatru call it Lenting.

The first Full Moon of this month is called the Worm or Sap Moon. It shares the names Storm Moon with February and Moon of Winds with April. It may also be referred to as the Moon of the Snowbird, the Crow Moon, and Lenting Moon.

Pisces and Aries hold power over March, the Zodiac turning to Aries around March 21st. The flower for those born in March is the daffodil and smaller jonquil. Bloodstone or jasper, or sometimes aquamarine, are the jewels for the month of March. Pisces birthstone is the amethyst, while diamond is the stone for Aries. Albite, amethyst, chrysoprase, fluorite, green tourmaline, labradorite, moonstone, and opal are other stones for Pisces, and Aries also lays claim to amethyst, carnelian, garnet, fire agate, pink tourmaline, and topaz.

Lunar Holy Days

Over several days preceding the Full Moon, the Hindu festival of Holi is held to celebrate the arrival of spring and the destruction of the demon Holika who was burned to death for devouring children.

Humor: Spooky Louisiana tale

This story happened in a little town in Louisiana, and even when it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's real. This guy was on the side of the road hitch hiking on a very dark night in the middle of a storm. The night passed slowly and no cars went by.

The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly he saw a car slowly looming, ghostlike, out of the gloom. It slowly crept toward him and stopped. Reflexively, the guy got into the car and closed the door; then he realized that there was nobody behind the wheel!

The car slowly started moving again. The guy was terrified, too scared to think of jumping out and running. Then he saw that the car was slowly approaching a sharp curve.

The guy started to pray, begging for his life. He was sure the ghost car would go off the road and he would plunge to his death. Suddenly, just before the curve, a hand appeared thru the window and turned the steering wheel, guiding the car safely around the bend. Paralyzed with terror, the guy watched the hand reappear every time they reach a curve.

Finally, the guy gathered his wits and leapt from the car, running to the nearest town. Wet and in shock, he went to a bar and, voice quavering, ordered two shots of tequila, telling everybody about his horrible, supernatural experience.

A silence enveloped everyone when they realized the guy was apparently sane and not drunk.

About half an hour later, two guys walked in the same bar. One turned to the other and said, 'Look Boudreaux, that's the idiot that rode in our car when we were pushing it.'

Article : Reflections on Scott Cunningham
From http://www.zodiacbistro.com/cunningham.htm

It was March 28th, 1993, when Scott Cunningham passed over into Summerland. Yet it seems it hasn't put a dent in the work he had taken upon himself. If you mention Solitary Wicca to any pagan/witch/wiccan, the name Scott Cunningham comes up immediately.

Seems everyone who walks the path of Wicca has something to say about Scott. Though many praise him for pointing out that Wicca isn't just for those who are coven bound or traditionally initiated, there are many who point out just as quickly that Scott turned the Wiccan Community on its ear. From Scott's discussion of initiation to the spells and rituals that he published, Scott's books have been discussed, analyzed and lovingly dog-eared.

What is it, though, that made Scott one of the most read, best loved and so widely followed writers within the Wiccan Community? Why do most of the Neo-Wiccan community love Scott Cunningham while many of the Old Time Wicca practitioners rip him apart at every opportunity?

Scott Cunningham died way before his time. But there is the saying that those who burn twice as bright burn half as long. Scott truly burned brightly.

I would like to take a look at this luminescence called Scott Cunningham, the person and his achievements. I will leave the discussion of dogma and philosophy to those who feel it necessary. Because if there was one thing Scott Cunningham focused on, it was that the Way of Wicca was not dogma and philosophy as much as it was simplicity and a spiritual way of life.

Scott Cunningham was born June 27th, 1956. That would have made him a few years younger than myself. I didn't learn about Scott till after he had passed over. My teachers were witches and Wicca was the "new" thing on the block. I knew of Wicca but it was Gerald Gardner who was always associated with the term.

I have read most of Scott's books and have come to embrace the simplicity of his spiritual vision. He had it all worked out, from his thoughts on "Who initiated the first Wiccan" to specific rituals to help you fulfill any need to be embraced by the Goddess/God. Scott was as practical as he was thorough. He did not give elaborate answers when he wrote about his beliefs on magic. "Call upon the Goddess and God to protect you and teach you the secrets of magic. Ask stones and plants to reveal their powers - and listen. Read as much as you can, discarding negative or disturbing information. Learn by doing, and the Goddess and God will bless you with all that you truly need." (pg. 24 "Wicca A Guide For The Solitary Practitioner")

"Wicca understands that what we perceive to be the difference between the physical and the non-physical is due to our limitations as materially-based beings." (pg. 37 "Wicca A Guide For The Solitary Practitioner")

"In Wicca, rituals are ceremonies which celebrate and strengthen our relationships with the Goddess, the God and the Earth." (pg. 47 "Wicca A Guide For The Solitary Practitioner")

It is not difficult to understand what Scott was teaching here, and it is just as easy to see why he is so well read within the community. Simple, easily understood and practical. He spoke in everyday language and always seemed to get his idea across.

Scott also never seemed to accept or acknowledge his popularity. In the biography "Whispers of the Moon The Life and Work of Scott Cunningham" by David Harrington and deTraci Regula, there is a paragraph written by Scott from his autobiographical material, which seems to sum up how he felt about fame. "One of the first things my readers ask me when we meet is "What is it like being famous?" I usually make a joke, but sometimes I tell them that I'm not famous and never will be, for I'll never have that star presence that separates we mortals from the Immortals."

Scott covered a good deal of ground in the years he published. Besides his books on Solitary Wicca, he wrote books on Folk Magic. "Earth Power, Techniques of Natural Magic" and "Earth, Air, Fire and Water, More Techniques of Natural Magic" were his contribution to working magic for the common man. Scott had a special, personal relationship with nature and the elements that made up nature. His books on this magic again had that simple approach. Every magician has a formula for making magic. Crowley had his "Magick in Theory and Practice". Scott Cunningham had a very simple statement. "To perform effective magic three necessities must be present: the need, the emotion and the knowledge." Though he felt the need to further simplify his equation, it was simple enough to understand as it was.

This was the secret of Scott Cunningham, and if we look deeper, the secret to Wicca that has eluded many practitioners. Wicca is a very simple belief system. There are no secrets.

"Wicca has been, up until the past decade or so, a closed religion, but no more. The inner components of Wicca are available to anyone who can read and has the proper wit to understand the material. Wicca's only secrets are its individual ritual forms, spells, names of deities and so on.

This needn't bother you. For every secret Wiccan ritual or Goddess name there are dozens (if not hundreds) of others that have been published and readily available."

There are many who have elaborated on Wicca. Its origins were shrouded in mysteries and cloaked in shadows and smoke filled rituals. It was kept secret, made to seem complex and necessitated years of teaching and learning.

But Scott cut all the smoke and draperies away and presented us with a very beautiful spiritual path that could be followed by all. One of the most moving and impressive of his rituals, to me at least, was his "Ritual of Gestures" in his "Wicca, A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner". No tools, no robes, no word to break the silence. A very wonderful ritual that I think we should all experience at least once.

Scott examined all the tools of the trade, explaining their use, and their symbology. Scott collected and compiled information on aromatherapy, crystals, herbs, incense and oils. He even gave us a book on how to make your home a place of security and a haven for our inner selves. "The Magical Household" written with David Harrington, is probably one of his often overlooked books, but reflected an interest we all have. Today, we find ourselves seeking this same harmony with Feng Shui.

Scott dabbled in video creating a tape on Herbs. But it is his written word most of us are familiar with.

I never had the opportunity to meet Scott Cunningham. Over the years, I have gotten to know him only through his books. I am not Wiccan, I am a witch. But some aspects of Wicca, its simple spirituality, has touched me. As a witch, I am not prone to be overly spiritual, but I have known some very special Wiccans in my time and admire them for their spirituality, just as I admire Mr. Cunningham for his spirituality in his writings.

I also protest when I hear someone say you cannot be Wiccan unless you are part of a Trad and initiated into it. Scott had a whole chapter dedicated to this subject. I may not agree with his terminology, but he hit the nail on the head "Who initiated the first Wiccan?" I have known many Solitary Wiccans who are not trad initiated, and whom I feel are genuinely touched by the Goddess. Who are we to tell those touched by the Goddess and/or God "no, sorry, you can't dedicate your life to the principals and ideas of Wicca"?

I think Scott summed it up early, at the end of his introduction to "Wicca A Guide For The Solitary Practitioner":

"Wicca is a joyous religion springing from our kinship with nature. It is a merging with the Goddesses and Gods, the universal energies which create all in existence. It is a personal, positive celebration of life. And now it is available to all."

Scott Cunningham is truly missed. But he left us his legacy in his books. He will come around again and again to remind us when we need to find the path we may lose over time. May he always remind us of how simple life, religion and spirituality really are.

Humor : The Magician and the Parrot

A man who worked in a cruise liner as a magician had a parrot as part of his act. Every time the man did a trick the parrot yelled, “It’s in the pocket; it’s in the pocket!” The magician would do another trick and the parrot would shriek, “It’s in the hat; it’s in the hat.”

One day during his act, the cruise liner had a problem and the ship sunk. The parrot came up from the water, looking confused, and cried out, “NOW WHERE DID HE PUT THE SHIP!”

Who's Who in World Mythology : Apsu
For past articles and the bibliography, please go to the
Who's Who Archive.

In Babylonian myth, Apsu or Apason (from the Sumerian Abzu) was the primeval abyss of sweet water from which all things sprang. She was the Akkadian version of Tiamat, but with the decay of matriarchal ideas, she became the husband of Tiamat, goddess of the primeval salt waters. As the two waters mingled, they gave birth to Mummu, the Waves, Lahmu and Lahamu, and Anshar and Kishar (the parents of Anu and Ea). The first men were formed by Nammu with clay dug up from Apsu’s waters.

According to the Babylonian creation epic, Enuma Elis, Apsu plotted the demise of the younger gods and was killed by Enki (Ea) as he slept. Enki (Ea) captured Mummu and set up his abode, Ezuab (House of the Apsu), over the oceans. This triggered the battle between Marduk, the son of Enki (Ea) and Tiamat. Through their bloody battle, the world and sky was formed.

The Magi's Garden Archive.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare)

Folk Names: Pearl Barley (hulled), Perlatum, Scotch Barley, Six-Rowed Barley; H. distichun- Two-Rowed Barley

Description: Barley, a member of the grass family, may be an annual or perennial depending upon where it is grown. It is a widely cultivated grain. The stout, simple stem (culm) is hollow, growing from one and one-half to three feet. The narrow tapering leaves ascend stem in two ranks, the third leaf over the first. The bases of the leaves form lose sheaths around the stem. The flowers form a bristly-bearded, terminal spike. The grains are elliptic and furrowed.

Effects: gentle
Planet: Venus, Saturn Zodiac Virgo
Element: Earth
Associated Deities: Ceres/Demeter, Cronus, Rgl (Russian god)

Traditions:
Barley seeds have been found in tombs of ancient Asia Minor dating from around 5300 BCE. The ancient Greek cult on the Peloponnisus Peninsula sacrificed barley and humans to Cronus and the Barley Mother. Barley was the chief grain for making bread in Europe until the introduction of wheat and rye.

German dwarf is considered a shape changer. The last sheaf of barley was its hiding place. In some years the sheaf was sacrificed with scythe, while others were carried into the village in a ritualized parade. In Bavaria, barley and other grains were fashioned into the form of a woman as the spirit of the harvest.

Magic:
Barley water is used in love potions. Scatter the grains on the ground to ward off evil and negativity.

According to Pliny, a man with a boil could use nine grains to heal the eruption. Tracing a circle around the boil three times with each grain, he should then throw them into a fire with the left hand to get rid of it. To get rid of a toothache, barley straw may be wound around stone while visualizing the pain into the stone. Throw the wrapped stone into running water or a river to wash the pain away. P> Known Combinations:
none noted

Medical Indications: Parts Used: grain
Barley water is a skin freshener, demulcent, and astringent. It cleanses and softens normal skin. It is also a good treatment for external sores and tumors.

Nutrition:
Barley is a very nutritious grain, a source of enzymes, iron, sulfur, phosphorus, magnesium, niacin, B6, B2, and protein. It is a healthy food for those suffering from rheumatic and arthritic symptoms due to its high mineral content. Cooked, a mucilaginous substance forms. This is a good source of nutrition for those with throat or stomach problems. It is also good for catarrhal conditions of the respiratory and urinary system. Milk with barley water is soothing to the stomach and intestinal lining. This concoction is also good for infants. The barley water prevents the formation of hard masses of curd in the stomach. It is an excellent recuperative food for fevers.

Mercantile Uses:
In addition to being food for humans, barley is used in livestock feed. Barley is also used to make malt for alcohol.

Poem : You Twist Your Death in Nooses
Nikolay Klyuev (1887-1937)

You twist your death in nooses
And hone swords in the night.
I search, but find among you
No thirst for dawn.

You’ve crossed land and water,
flung ships at the constellations,
And ignored only me – the soul of the world –
As pitiful trash.

I am clothed in sackcloth,
Shoed in bast,
But bliss and happiness
Stream from my violated eyes.

You mix ashes in my bread,
Spill bitter poison in my wine,
But I am bright, wise, unknown
Like the sky.

A free worker
In this field of life and labor
How can I not pluck you out
Like a worthless thorn – forever?

Quote : William Blake
If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern.

The Power of Stones : Amblygonite
For past articles and the bibliography, please go to the
Power of Stones Archive.

Amblygonite’s name comes from the Greek words for "blunt angles," an allusion to its variously angled cleavages. Amblygonite has no less than four different directions of cleavage at different angles from one another and with different qualities of cleavage. It has a vitreous luster and occurs in pale pink, lilac, and yellow shades. The lightness of the color sometimes causes the amblygonite to seem white or colorless. Gem quality amblygonite is mined in Brazil and the regions formerly known as Burma.

Amblygonite can be used to calm and soothe while allowing you to see two sides of the same issue. It imparts a sense of divinity and immortality. Those interested in music, poetry, and the arts may find it particularly useful.

Humor : Gimme
by Ellen Cannon Reed

I'm a solitary pagan
And I want to learn the Art.
So I've gone to many teachers
And I've asked them from my heart.

But everyone I've gone to
Has balked at teaching me,
And I just don't understand it,
'Cause I begged on bended knee:

GIMME GIMME GIMME
Everything that you've got.
GIMME GIMME GIMME
Right here on the spot.
GIMME GIMME GIMME!
I'm entitled, you know,
I'm a witch 'cause Starhawk told me so.

I don't want to join a tradition.
Wanna do things my own way,
And the way I'll do them tomorrow
Won't match what I'll do today.

I don't want just one tradition,
Cause it won't give me enough,
And I think that all of the teachers
Should just hand over their stuff.

GIMME GIMME GIMME
Everything that you've got.
GIMME GIMME GIMME
Right here on the spot.
GIMME GIMME GIMME!
I'm entitled, you know,
I'm a witch 'cause Starhawk told me so.

I don't want to make a commitment
'Cause I might not have the time.
And they tell me I'll have to work hard!
Well, I think that that's a crime.

Some said if I don't do reading
That I do not stand a chance.
Well, I've done all the reading I need to do,
'Cause I just read 'Spiral Dance."

GIMME GIMME GIMME
Everything that you've got.
GIMME GIMME GIMME
Right here on the spot.
GIMME GIMME GIMME!
I'm entitled, you know,
I'm a witch 'cause Starhawk told me so.

A Dreamer's Guide : Honeydew to Hostility

For past articles and the bibliography, please go to the
Dreamer's Guide Archive.

Success is foretold by Honeydew melons. You will receive good news from a loved one if you had a melon, and you will find success in love if you grew them. You have high hopes if you bought one, and sick people will recover if you ate some.

A dream of a Honeymoon, whether your own or someone else’s, is a contrary dream foretelling disappointment in love or friendship.

You will be contented and prosperous in your work and marriage is you dreamt of Honeysuckle. You will change your residence for a better one if you saw it in bloom, and gathering it indicates prosperity.

Dreams of Honors for yourself or others is a warning not take people at face value. The death of a friend is foretold if you lost your honor.

If you wore a Hood in your dream, you will attempt to lure someone away from their duty.

You are in danger of being cheated in business if you saw an animal’s Hoof. A cloven hoof however, indicates embarrassing complications in your love life.

You will assume unhappy obligations if you saw a Hook. If you were caught on a hook, you will have irritating problems, but if you freed yourself, your worries will only be temporary. If you used a hook to catch something, a long term mystery will be solved. An unexpected gain or surprise gift is foretold if others used hooks.

A Hoop is any augury of influential friendships. Many people will come to your for advice. Jumping through or seeing others jump through hoops indicates a discouraging position, but a decisive victory.

A feeling of Hope is good augury for the future.

Hops denote thrift, energy, and the power to master almost any business proposition. To see them growing or harvested predicts prosperity, but picking them is a forecast of a sudden but short-lived love affair.

Horehound candy predicts a long period of peace of mind.

A far Horizon signifies early success while a near one indicates delays.

You will receive good news if you heard a Horn, but a broken horn indicates death or an accident. Happiness in the home is foretold if children played with horns. If you were blowing a horn, you are more anxious for marriage than your lover. An automobile horn warns against risks, and a hunting horn indicates unhappiness due to gossip.

Dignity and power are indicated if you had horns on your head, and other people with horns means you will be desperately in love. Expect sorrow if you saw an animal with large horse, while small horns are a sign of joy and happiness. The horns of a bull or cow augur quarrels, but the horns of any wild animal promise magnificence.

Disruption of a life-long friendship or the loss of money is predicted by the presence of a Hornet. Many envious people will seek to slander you to your admirers if you were stung by a hornet or found yourself in a nest. If you killed one, be on guard among your friends.

Unexpected changes and a long journey, both possibly associated with some stranger, is indicated by a professionally drawn Horoscope. If the astrologer pointed out the stars as your fate was read, you will be disappointed where you sought fortune and pleasure. Buying an astrology book is an augury of approaching money.

Horses mean you will amass wealth and enjoy life to the fullest. Riding or watching them pass is a sign of ease and comfort, but if you were afraid of them, you will worry of the loss or misplacement of an important document or valuable. You will enjoy a profitable life if you rode a horse in a race. If you rode a horse to ford a stream, you will have some good fortune and enjoy rich pleasures, but a murky or unsettled stream signifies your anticipated joys will be somewhat disappointing. If the waters were deep enough that you both had to swim, your desire for passionate bliss or success will quickly be realized. Your interests will be injured by an employer or friend if you were on a runaway horse, and if you saw someone else trapped on a runaway horse, a friend may become ill. If you rode a bucking horse, your desires will be difficult to consummate, and if you were thrown, a strong rival will make business difficult. If you were kicked, the one you love will repulse you and your health may suffer.

If you caught a horse and harnessed it, or put a saddle and bridle on it, you will have great improvements in business of all kinds. Failure to catch the horse means fortune will play you false. You will attempt to make doubtful property your own if you shoed a horse, but having one shoed means your success is assured. If you attempted to fit a shoe which was broken or too small, you will be accused of scamming people. Mounting a horse bareback means you will attain wealth only through hard struggle. You will not neglect your business for frivolity if you curried a horse, and trimming the mane or tail indicates a success in all areas. A horse pulling a cart or carriage symbolizes obstacles in love or wealth.

A fine stallion means you will have success and good living so long as you do not let your passions get the better of you, while a brood mare indicates congeniality between lovers. A foal, especially with its mother, is an auspicious omen of advantageous news. If a horse favored one of its feet, some unexpected unpleasantness will make itself known. A wounded horse foretells trouble with friends, and a dead horse indicates all sorts of disappointment. You will injure your friends with your selfishness if you killed a horse.

Seeing or riding a white horse foretells prosperity and pleasant friends. If the horse was dirty or thin however, your trust will be betrayed by a jealous friend or woman. A dark horse indicates prosperity but discontent. A black horse is a sign of success through deception, and of possible infidelity from your spouse. A rise in fortune and gratification of passion is foretold if you rode a bay horse. Spotted horses foretell various profitable entertainments. A gray horse is a sign of delays, and sorrel or piebald means confusion. Brown horses pertain to mental pursuits, and tan or palomino horses are associated with love. Horses of any other color promise good business.

Advancement in business or luck in your affairs is denoted by a Horseshoe. You will receive profit from an unknown source if you picked one up from the road, but a broken horseshoe is a sign of bad luck and illness. Your interests will advance beyond your expectations if you saw one hanging from a fence. Losing a horseshoe indicates family quarrels.

Pleasant associations and friendly people are augured by Horseradish. If you ate it, you will be the object of pleasant mockery.

Great profit will be found in perilous ventures if you dreamt of a Horse-trader. If you were trading horses and were cheated, you will lose in business or love.

A squirting Hose forecasts changes of an adventurous nature, but if it was used on a fire, it pertains to sexual satisfaction or an exciting new love affair. If the hose was used to water the lawn or garden, you will have pleasant new friends.

If you were a patient in a Hospital, you will narrowly escape some illness rampant in your community. You will hear distressing news of someone absent if you visited someone in the hospital. A mental hospital is a warning to control your passions.

If you were a gracious Host(ess) conditions will improve, but if you played the part reluctantly, expect setbacks or delays in your plans.

Good fortune is yours if you dreamt of a Hostler (stable groom). You will have abundance if one took care of your horse.

Hostility directed at you should be interpreted as the actions of your own conscience concerning some injustice. If you acted with or felt hostility towards someone in your dream, you may become involved in an uncomfortable situation unless you control your impulsive nature.

Quote : Arthur C. Clarke
The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them into the impossible.
