The base of this recipe is not mine, I have altered it to fit my needs. I have found that if I drink 4 oz a day with 1-2 tablespoons of honey I can prevent most colds. Ingredients: 6 lemons 1 inch of fresh ginger or 1 teaspoon dried ground 6 cloves of fresh garlic or 1 teaspoon dried ground 1 teaspoon dried ground turmeric 1 teaspoon black pepper Instructions: Cut lemons in half and then juice. Save the juice for later In a pot put all the squeezed lemon rinds and 2 liters of water. Bring pot to a simmer and wait for the smell to turn sweet; 8 to 10 minutes normally. In the lemon juice add all the other ingredients. If you are using fresh versions place lemon juice and the rest in a blender to be processed until smooth. Remove the lemon rinds from the pot and discard the rinds. Once all the rind is out of the pot add the lemon juice mix to it and stir well.  Keep in mind extreme temperatures will damage the vitamin c from the lemons so err on the side of cooler but n

Traditionally, an initiation is an act of initiating to admit to membership in an organization, fraternity, cult, etc, usually with special rites, instructions, and/or ceremony, and the imparting of secret knowledge. The initiation is often a ritual usually designed by another, or others, to indoctrinate one into a different way of thinking and being. [2] In many initiations, what is performed is unknown to the one being initiated. This is especially true when secret knowledge of any form is imparted. Other than imparting secret knowledge, one of the reasons for the initiate not knowing what will be done before is to strengthen the awareness that the individual is moving from a past, and breaking with the past, to move into a new role and new life. In many ways the initiation is symbolic of a rebirth into a new form and new order whatever that new form and new order may be. [2] The elements of the initiation ritual are usually not something of which the individual is fully aware to cre

This is a topic that I have been meaning to research for a bit now. In my research I have found that there are a few different ways in which one can be labeled as Sovereign; one of which a person should be careful in using. I have had many an argument with my Teacher and Mentor about the practice of "taking a measure" and it's implication in the initiation rite. Google can give you some examples of initiations that require a measure to be taken, so I am going to save space by not providing them. In all of the rites I have found publicly the ceremony appears more of the BDSM community's taking a slave than bringing forth a individual with more personal sovereignty. Add to it that I highly doubt those who use these types of initiation rites actually teach what a measure is until it is too late (they have the measure in a secure location) and I really do wonder about a great many things about them. Granted, as a person who is inclined to the BDSM slave role, the

Wow 3 big topics in one, but they do seem to be connected... Intimacy it is a tricky thing. I am not talking about sex, physical intimacy is really not all that complicated in comparison to mental and emotional intimacy. However people will substitute physical intimacy for emotional and mental intimacy. It is actual intimacy that seems to be the glue of those enviable decades long relationships though. There is something about having that assurance that no matter what you are good enough horrible bits and pure bits. Imperfection is defiantly the reason behind my choice in pantheon to worship. The gods are not perfect and it some how makes it ok that I am not as well. It is also in the stories of how each member of the pantheon falls and gets back up that I find inspiration on how to do so in my own life as well. Side Tracked … What is perfection? According to dictionary.com it is the state of being perfect. What if the gods, and by extension myself, are perfect as we are a

Magic Mushrooms Magic mushrooms are wild or cultivated mushrooms that contain psilocybin, a naturally-occurring psychoactive and hallucinogenic compound. Psilocybin is considered one of the most well-known psychedelics, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administrations. Psilocybin is classified as a Schedule I drug, meaning that has a high potential for misuse and has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. [1] What is the Schedule Drugs thing? Drugs, substances, and certain chemicals used to make drugs are classified into five (5) distinct categories or schedules depending upon the drug’s acceptable medical use and the drug’s abuse or dependency potential. The abuse rate is a determinate factor in the scheduling of the drug; for example, Schedule I drugs have a high potential for abuse and the potential to create severe psychological and/or physical dependence. As the drug schedule changes-- Schedule II, Schedule III, etc

Pain and Altered States of Consciousness In magick it is accepted that altering one’s consciousness is needed in order to work with the energy. How much altering is needed and what method is always left up to the practitioner. Some practitioners use pain as a means to alter their consciousness. This writing is a means to briefly study the body’s perception of pain and the consequences of long term pain as well as finally discuss some methods commonly used to alter one’s consciousness using pain. This is by no means a comprehensive study or an endorsement of the use of pain to alter your conscious state. It is strongly encouraged for you to do your own research into the use of pain and safety measures before embarking on this endeavour. Perception of Pain As a psychological state, pain is perceived by the affected individual and it corresponds to a form of conscious awareness as a subjective conscious experience mediated in part by beliefs or emotions. Regardless of its '

Thanks to Buddhists and Yogis Meditation is pretty much a household word. There are very few individuals who are not at least passingly aware of what Meditation is. Meditation provides a rather gentler alternative for those wishing to restore plasticity to their brains. Mindfulness-based therapies have proven their worth in clinical trials for preventing relapse in depression, for example, and have shown promise in treating addiction. Rather than a chemical reboot, meditation and mindfulness dial down the activity of the default mode network by training patients to focus their attention on bodily sensations such as the breath. Over time, this has the effect of diminishing the influence of the top-down models responsible for craving and overly ruminative, self-critical thinking styles. [1] “In Buddhist tradition, the word ‘meditation’ is equivalent to a word like ‘sports’ in the U.S. It’s a family of activities, not a single thing,” University of Wisconsin neuroscience lab dire
