The APA yahoo chat list remains in hibernation. A brief chat broke out over cold remedies and over a couple of news stories, but we seriously need a good ole fashioned infamous APA heated debate. ------------------------ FROM OUR BOOK OF SHADOWS: With the colds and flu season upon us, the ‘potion’ My Mawie used to prescribe, Russian Tea: 1-gallon water 13 tea bags (Individual serving size-these can be tided to the handles of the pot to dangle in.) Boil well, remove tea bags Add two cups of sugar and stir Add 2 cups of orange juice and stir Add two cups of pineapple juice and stir Add 1 cup of lemon juice and stir Bring back to boil. Float 13 cinnamon sticks And 13 whole cloves in the pot. Serve hot, drink as much as possible to speed up healing from a cold or flu. --------------------- The Muses: Calliope, (The Fair voiced who governs epic poetry and writing) Clio, (The Proclaimer who governs history) Erato, (The Lovely who governs love poetry) Euterpe, (The Giver of Pleasure who governs music) Melpomene, (The Songtress who governs tragedies) Polyhymnia, (She of Many Hymns, who governs sacred poetry) Terpsichore , (The Twirling Dancer who governs dancing) Thalia, (The Flourishing who governs comedy) ------------ The Hopi tribe has a wonderful, beautiful and magical Sun God Incantation Chant that is sung very fast over and over and over with drumming and dancing. It goes: Ke-ya-Wa-te,layn-yo layn-yo mah-hoy-te Hi-ya-no, Hi-ya-no, Hi-ya-no (or in English; we are one with the infinite sun forever and ever and ever) -----------
