Wow 2008 almost over...

shahravar — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 02:47:24 GMT

I just want to say thank you to all of those who helped me make the very difficult transition to Fort Collins and then back a few years later. As you know it was one of the most trying events in my life...but such is life. Without suffering we have no depth with which to understand the great beauty of life it's self. I really look forward to 2009! I think the awfull prejudices and needless pains of the world will be lightened a little bit the the honesty of true universal brotherhood. When I make my holiday donations this year I hope it means a little bit more because of my own struggles. Hugs and kisses to you all! XOXO...Shah

Solstice Party! Friday, December 21st 2007 ***Plus***New Years Eve Party! December 31st 2007-January 1st 2008(call soon this event sells out every year!) ***********Welcome 2008! Saturday, January 5th 2008 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Winter solstice was overlaid with Christmas, and the observance of Christmas spread throughout the globe. Along the way, we lost some of the deep connection of our celebrations to a fundamental seasonal, hemispheric event. Many people--of many beliefs--are looking to regain that connection now. We gain inspiration from the universality of the ancient idea--winter solstice celebrations aren't just an invention of the ancient Europeans. A time of magic. In many cultures, customs practiced at Christmas go back to pre-Christian times. Many involve divination--foretelling the future at a magic time: the season turning of solstice. In Russia, there's a Christmas divination that involves candles. A girl would sit in a darkened room, with two lighted candles and two mirrors, pointed so that one reflects the candlelight into the other. The viewer would seek the seventh reflection, then look until her future would be seen. The early Germans built a stone altar to Hertha, or Bertha, goddess of domesticity and the home, during winter solstice. With a fire of fir boughs stoked on the altar, Hertha was able to descend through the smoke and guide those who were wise in Saga lore to foretell the fortunes of those at the feast. In Spain, there's an old custom that is a holdover from Roman days. The urn of fate is a large bowl containing slips of paper on which are written all the names of those at a family get-togehter. The slips of paper are drawn out two at a time. Those whose names are so joined are to be devoted friends for the year. Apparently, there's often a little finagling to help matchmaking along, as well. In Scandinavia, some families place all their shoes together, as this will cause them to live in harmony throughout the year. And in many, many cultures, it's considered bad luck for a fire or a candle to go out on Christmas Day. So keep those candles burning!
