The Wiccan Rede


THE WICCAN REDE
Bide the Wiccan Laws we must In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust. Live and let live. Fairly take and fairly give. Cast the Circle thrice about To keep the evil spirits out. To bind the spell every time Let the spell be spake in rhyme. Soft of eye and light of touch, Speak little, listen much. Deosil go by the waxing moon, Chanting out the Witches' Rune. Widdershins go by the waning moon, Chanting out the baneful rune. When the Lady's moon is new, Kiss the hand to her, times two. When the moon rides at her peak, Then your heart's desire seek, Heed the North wind's mighty gale, Lock the door and drop the sail. When the wind comes from the South, Love will kiss thee on the mouth. When the wind blows from the West, Departed souls will have no rest. When the wind blows from the East, Expect the new and set the feast. Nine woods in the cauldron go, Burn them fast and burn them slow. Elder be the Lady's tree, Burn it not or cursed you'll be. When the Wheel begins to turn, Let the Beltane fires burn. When the Wheel has turned to Yule, Light the log and the Horned One rules. Heed ye Flower, Bush and Tree, By the Lady, blessed be. Where the rippling waters go, Cast a stone and truth you'll know. When ye have a true need, Hearken not to others' greed. With a fool no season spend, Lest ye be counted as his friend. Merry meet and merry part, Bright the cheeks and warm the heart. Mind the Threefold Law you should, Three times bad and three times good. When misfortune is enow, Wear the blue star on thy brow. True in Love ever be, Lest thy lover's false to thee. Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill: An ye harm none, do what ye will.
- Blessed Be -

Robin Hood (2010)

A Classic that never gets "old".
In Movie Theaters:May 14, 2010 Wide
Directed by:Ridley Scott
Starring:
more credits
Russell Crowe
Cate Blanchett
Vanessa Redgrave
Eileen Atkins
Danny Huston
Distributed by:Universal Pictures
Genres:Drama Action Adventure Romance
MPAA Rating: PG13 - for violence including intense sequences of warfare, and some sexual content.
Also known as "Nottingham"
Synopsis: Oscar® winner Russell Crowe stars as the legendary figure known by generations as “Robin Hood,” whose exploits have endured in popular mythology and ignited the imagination of those who share his spirit of adventure and righteousness. In 13th century England, Robin and his band of marauders confront corruption in a local village and lead an uprising against the crown that will forever alter the balance of world power. And whether thief or hero, one man from humble beginnings will become an eternal symbol of freedom for his people.

The Robin Hood adventure chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richard’s army against the French. Upon Richard’s death, Robin travels to Nottingham, a town suffering from the corruption of a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation, where he falls for the spirited widow Lady Marion (Oscar® winner Cate Blanchett), a woman skeptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest. Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marion and salvage the village, Robin assembles a gang whose lethal mercenary skills are matched only by its appetite for life. Together, they begin preying on the indulgent upper class to correct injustices under the sheriff.

With their country weakened from decades of war, embattled from the ineffective rule of the new king and vulnerable to insurgencies from within and threats from afar, Robin and his men heed a call to ever greater adventure. This unlikeliest of heroes and his allies set off to protect their country from slipping into bloody civil war and return glory to England once more.

Shabbat Shalom


LYRICS to El Shaddai

El shaddai, El shaddai,
El-elyon na adonai,
Age to age youre still the same,
By the power of the name.
El shaddai, El shaddai,
Erkamka na adonai,
I will praise and lift you high,
El shaddai.

Through your love and through the ram,
You saved the son of abraham;
Through the power of your hand,
You turned the sea into dry land.
To the outcast on her knees,
You were the God who really sees,
And by your might,
You set your children free.

El shaddai, El shaddai,
El-elyon na adonai,
Age to age youre still the same,
By the power of the name.
El shaddai, El shaddai,
Erkamka na adonai,
I will praise and lift you high,
El shaddai.

Through the years youve made it clear,
That the time of Christ was near,
Though the people couldnt see
What messiah ought to be.
Though your word contained the plan,
They just could not understand
Your most awesome work was done
Through the frailty of your son.

El shaddai, El shaddai,
El-elyon na adonai,
Age to age youre still the same,
By the power of the name.
El shaddai, El shaddai,
Erkamka na adonai,
I will praise you till I die,
El shaddai.

Golden Delight Pancakes (unleavened)

Pancakes! What more can I say...
This recipe came to me through a friend of a friend via email. So not to flood her with email, I have withheld her name and email address, Just a simple Thank you to L.


Ingredients:
1 C. cottage cheese
1/4 C. oil
6 eggs
1/4 C. milk
1/2 C. unbleached (or regular white) flour
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt

Directions:
Put all ingredients into blender container. Cover and blend at high speed 1 minute, stopping half way to scrape down sides of blender with a rubber spatula. Bake on greased griddle using 1/4 cup batter for each pancake.  Don't over-bake as they should be velvety inside, not dry. Dust with sifted powdered sugar (optional).  For an extra treat top with your favorite fruit toppings or syrups

Yield: 14 - 5 inch pancakes per recipe.
Note: Most blender containers will hold a double recipe to make enough batter for 28 pancakes.  Refrigerate leftovers.  They reheat well.  You can also make the batter the evening before, and put the blender container in the fridge.  The next morning just put the container back on the blender and give it a whirl for a few seconds to remix the batter before you make the pancakes as usual.

Further notes From L.
The picture I took this morning was a "one" full recipe with only one pancake missing (we had someone sampling before I got the camera out!!   I didn't add the fruit sauce first, so folks could see what the plain pancakes look like.  I used an electric griddle at 350 to make these, using spam spray on the non stick surface.  I could have made them a little lighter in color and they would have been good, it is important not to dry them out, they are so much better in the moist stage, just barely browned. We like a little melted butter drizzled over the pancakes with the powdered sugar--with, or without warm fruit sauce.  For company I put a spoonful of fruit sauce on each pancake and roll them up or simply fold over with a dollop of whipped cream.  Yummmmy!

Could This Be My Next Knife?

The Gerber LHR Combat Knife
Looks nice, I think I need to see a few more reviews on this product be before I decide. I definitely love the sheath. Almost wish I could trade in my BK2. Maybe not the more knives the better.


So in the urban warfare environment, soldiers recognized the need for a close quarter combat knife. After studying and interviewing hundreds of real life hand-to-hand combat encounters, MACP Close Quarter Combat expert Matt Larsen worked with award-winning knife makers Chris Reeve and William W. Harsey Jr. to create the L.H.R. The knife itself features a 6.87" part serrated blade made from 420 high carbon steel that is covered with a black ceramic coating. It has an overall length of 12.25" and weighs 11.2 ounces. The handle is made of a special material called TacHide and is heavily textured for a secure grip in all conditions. A glass breaker and lanyard hole at the base of the handle round out the knife's features.






The durable hard molded sheath includes several straps that allow it to be attached in a variety of carrying positions. Designed to keep the knife out of an enemy's hands during combat, the knife can only be removed from its sheath by a hidden thumb release. This special retention mechanism makes it easy for the wearer to draw the knife, but nearly impossible for an adversary to remove. This knife will be available Feb/Mar 2010, sale sale at $99.99. Please share your comments freely on this knife.

Taking a look at Pyramid Tents.

Pyramid Tents are another style tent that are easy to setup and use. I love this drawing on the pyramid tent found at Tentsmiths. Go there to learn a little more background on these tents and other historical tents and shelters. They have a nice 11 by 11 size tent, which would make a nice shelter. You can also go to Northwest Woodsman for a slightly smaller version a 8 by 8 size. Below is a video showing just how easy pyramid tents are to setup.
