Yule Altar

Hello Again!

Just wanted to post some pictures of the Yule Altar. Some nice fresh Rosemary, a yule log, wreath, and a Yuletide god and goddess. This was done very inexpensively, I changed the altar cloth out to a new color (by altar cloth I mean mostly rectangular leftover piece of fabric I keep for these occasions.) Then, by draping some ribbons over the altar, and not cutting them or gluing them to something, I can re-use them latter. Found some images on the internet and printed them off, (Hint! buy the ink in bulk and re-fill the cartridges themselves, then it becomes even more inexpensive and good for the planet too). Lastly, I just got some rosemary out of the garden.

Healthy Carrot Cake

Aloha!

Just had the Carrot Cake Clif Bar today. Quite sweet compared to some of their other bars but much better for you than cake. Only 240 cal. and 20% fiber and protein for the day. Highly recommend. I have always been a fan of their blueberry bar.

Happy Yule!

Just to get everyone in the Yuletide mood here are tow classic Christmas songs that have been adapted for Yule. Blessed Be!

Earth Ship!

No it's not aliens landing, it's just sustainable living from roof to basement. We sometimes think that green is a new movement, but the people out in New Mexico have been living the dream for 30 years. check this out and make your next home an earth ship! http://www.earthship.net/

Chavez Preaches Wiccan Book To Venezuelans

Hugo Chavez has openly declared his new conversion to Wicca, a nature-based religion, early Monday morning. To the astonishment of many followers, or Chavistas, he has already begun pushing the conversion of the entire nation to Wicca with a fully televised announcement.

Wicca is an ancient nature-based religion with converts scattered all over the world. Wiccans, meaning “naked witches,” see this as a great advancement to their naturally small following.

“Of course this is easy for him,” states Carlito Sanchez, a Venezuelan student. “Following his recent constitution reforms, in which he extended his term from five years to seven, he’ll have no problem instituting this devil-work as a state religion.” With totalitarianism – Chavez’s complete grasp on the nation’s media, mind, and economy, commentators calculate it should be fairly easy to carry out a few thousand, if not, millions of Venezuelan converts.

Televised broadcasts are scheduled to run for three days with Wiccan documentaries, following the president’s personal reading out of various books including Wiccan, the History of the Wicca, and the official gospel, the Book of Shadows. It is also recorded however, that as the Wiccan population may grow enormously with the conversion of an entire impoverished and overpopulated nation, Chavez’s popularity rating is likely to plummet.

“Maybe this is why he created the seven year term in the first place,” remarks Sanchez.
