“In the company of our friends we know that we are not alone and because of their love for us we discover that we are but babes forged of the elements, divine spirit
and the wood of Mother Gaia looking within, only to find that we are adorned with the wings to fly home in the company of those whom we love.”
Many Blessings, His Serene Highness The Faery King | | Tuesday, July 31st, 2007 | 10:19 pm

Ecstatic Adoration (The Handfasting Poem)  Ecstatic Adoration
It is the love of ecstatic adoration,
That I have found in you,
Angelic smile, deep and true,
Speaking through your drums,
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Finding my way Home,
Through the heart of you,
Bliss and the sublime intertwined,
The warmth of who you are, Divine,
Your eyes are manna,
Your words heavens wine,
Most respected and beloved friend of mine,
You are a treasure to me, such a find,
May I always feel the love you shine,
As in wonder, my thoughts,
Fathom your brilliant mind,
You of another place, touch so kind,
Star Child of the universe,
Gift of the Gods,
From distance and Indigo space,
Friend to humanity, the human race
With you the pain subsides,
Though my sight leaves me,
Holding your hand,
Third Eye Will Always See For We,
In walking with you, my spirit never weary,
The darkest of days rarely dreary,
With you there is an absence of fearing,
With us now joined in that forrest clearing...
Namaste,
The Faery King

Elegy For The Anti_Christ  Earlier today, in New York City, an older gentleman walked into the main room of the deli full of people, grabbing a late lunch, the same time as the Faery King. Cynthia and I accompanied my sister Susan for her Chemo today. This was a very difficult day in her recovery because of stomach distress, the under prescribing of meds and fever. As Susan is one very tough lady, one very tough and loving Alpha female, a self-made woman, a biker poet of the kind, who can make one dream of free and open roads, metaphorically and other wise. It is quite painful watching her battle Hodgkin's Disease and being humbled by anything, to be perfectly honest. Apparently from the reaction in the Deli, to my reaction, (wink-although we all do grieve differently) it was very quiet for other reasons than that news flash, as it would turn out that this was the first many of us was hearing the news of his being as dead as a puppet. The thoughtful elderly man made the comment about how sad it was that they had found Falwell dead on the floor, all alone like they did, going on about how he had touched so many lives.

Shout out!
I am so jealous of all you lucky faeries at Short Mountain! I am once again not coming. Maybe one day... Usually, we do something here in D.C.; a public maypole dance to remind the city that we are here, a bonfire in my backyard, maybe a movie night at someone's house. We just had movie night at Fritter's a few hours ago. But, I couldn't have gone anyway because of finals due this weekend and a phone interview on Monday. Darn! But I send a shout out to you all. Have fun for all of us! Tell Puppy that we said hello! YoooooooHoooooooo! | | Saturday, April 28th, 2007 | 5:56 am

Of Suicide And Judgement
In my family 6 have gone, in my lifetime alone, by the energy and will of their own hand.
They say that this type of self-destruction is a sickness of, among others, the Scandinavians, something perhaps from the Baltic Sea, the environment of those in the North.
Maybe certain illnesses like bipolar Disease, Schizophrenia, Seasonal Effective Disorder and Clinical Depression, a byproduct of whatever is there in that atmosphere, will not allow certain children to live reach their destiny.
This legacy seems to have been carried by the vikings, as they made friends and influenced people, in between all that raping and pillaging of course.
Another deception in Church History, is that the filthy vile unwashed heathen did nothing except murder and steal.
Blue eyed, blond haired English and Irish, are living examples of assimilation, unlike the now missing natives of islands in the New World, North and South America, who suffered the genocide of Christopher Columbus, with the Vatican Seal of approval, on the deed of the worst kind of terrorism.

The Royal Hand Fasting 
Our Two Friends With Their Friend Fellow Visionary Artist Paul Laffoley
Jordan Andre Hronec De Liso (Baron JAH-D) and The Faery King will be joined together in a formal royal hand-fasting, at Starwood 2007.
This is to be a ceremony of love between two friends who devote their lives to the service and love of one another, as well as those they share the walk with in this life, as well as the art and seeker's world.
This proclaimed union of love and friendship is a going to be a spiritual "magical cloaks and robes affair" open to all friends of "healing through art, the sciences and wisdom".
We are working on the creation of a renaissance of the heart, as well as a neo-renaissance for the arts, sciences and humanities.
This hand-fasting is to be presided over by The Lady Heather, Oracle/High Priestess of The Gossamer Court, assisted by friends of the realm from several paths.
It seems that these two friends have discovered a new way to share love or some sort of ancient love, one that can not be based on what has been in the past because it is so rare. They both live an exception as individuals rather than a rule. This reality that these two beings are close enough to be one in a state of love makes the situation and the friendship extraordinary.
A line of communication shall soon be set up for those wishing to take a more active role in blessing this great friendship at their hand-fasting
JAH=D is like the king because he dwells within the state of an illuminated heart, guided by a creed based a loving and generous nature.
The two of them are not above extreme bouts of laughter when things get a little too stuffy or serious.
Once The Faery King told Jordan his eyes were so beautiful. Jordan suggested in that case, he should probably pickle them.
They both look to make life better for those around them, while making a sincere effort to help heal an ailing world at large.
If you look at the Indigo's that walked into the king's life just before his heart attack last August, the way these wonderful Twenty-Somethings have helped heal him, continuing on to witness the beauty of those that seem to be entering our midst on a daily basis, you will understand that this hand-fasting is a celebration of a very happy love, one which involves more than two very kind-hearted beings.
JAH-D and The Faery King deserve some happiness.
Lets make this Starwood special for all who attend. Lets make it special for them.
Lady Heather will be making a formal announcement for this hand=fasting before the end of the month.
There will be more happy news in the near future about changes within The Gossamer Court.
NAMASTE

Short Mountain Howdy Howdy Howdy,
I want to go to Short Mountain for Beltaine this year. I know it's usually May 1st, but I wanted to know what their "dates" were. I haven't been to Short Mountain since college (15 years!!!) so I have no idea how big the croud is, the food situation, etc. Especially important is the fact that I couldn't ever find it! I know it's near Liberty, TN and to follow the pink triangles up the mountain.
Could someone be so kind as to fill me in? You can send me an email to Joewadesmith1@msn.com if you don't want to post here!
Dream it and be it,
Joseph | 6:22 pm

New to everything
Hi everyone, My name is Vinny. I am so excited to have stumbled upon this community. I am 18 years old and I live in poughkeepsie, new york. I have heard different thing about radical faeries in the past and it interested me greatly. I did some googling and found some information but I still want to know more and understand it better. I have questions like are there Rad Fae communes? Where and when do get-togethers/meetings and such go down? What happens at them? Most of all I am interested in learning more and getting involved. So it would be great if maybe you guys could help me out with some resources or even talk to me. My aim name is: a giggle fit so please feel free to send me an instant message.
Thanks!
♥♥vinny

Examining my views in a crockpot methodology  The more I dwell on it, the more I am certain... I don't think I have "beliefs" in the "accepted" way. Is it a belief to take life as something that is? Things are or are not. People are or are not. Lemme lay it down a bit... and know that I do take dictionaries with a gain of salt, however, I want to make sure my language is clear: 1 : a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing 2 : something believed; especially : a tenet or body of tenets held by a group 3 : conviction of the truth of some statement or the reality of some being or phenomenon especially when based on examination of evidence (www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary) 1) I have a hard time with trust, tending to distrust without allowing it to be seen because I realize I have to check my thoughts against reality 2) I have a hard time with groups or group think... possibly because I was persecuted (for my beliefs) in the life I lead just before I was here. Groups that believe one thing or a body of things scare me on principle and instinctually. 3) It is my opinion that there is no "truth" -- only truths... the same evidence examined by different people will yeild different results. And while "belief" and "opinion" are synonyms of each other, it's the shade of difference between them that makes me my kinda geek. To refer: OPINION implies a conclusion thought out yet open to dispute (each expert seemed to have a different opinion). BELIEF implies often deliberate acceptance and intellectual assent (a firm belief in her party's platform). (www.m-w.com/dictionary/opinion) ... maybe I am merely exhibiting how I am filled with skepticism. My parth is not one of certainty, but "suspended judgment, systematic doubt and criticism." (hee -- I liked it... and it's really true for me, too. There are people and situations to which I apply judgement, feel certain, and do not critique, but generally speaking about the state of my soul, my thought, etc.? I am not sure what I make of things yet and I am not bothered by it the way some people have expressed being bothered with it at various points in my life. It isn't that I am aimless, it's that I like to remain open. However, if anything, I'd LOVE to drop the vigilance.) The older I get, the less time I devote towards dictating what I think (... and I think a lot... and if "beliefs" and "thoughts" ever come to occupy the same space, some of this may differ/vary) to other people. Other people, generally, have either everything or nothing at all to do with my path. I could say... striking the apparatus through which I believe or don't believe freed up a lot of space in my head and allowed me to engage with realities on different levels. The problem with belief is that it can blind you or shut you off from other ways of experiencing -- setting the self up for dogma, becoming a path -- yes and paths are good -- but a path with walls, pre-smoothed, stepped into... I guess I don't mind brambles if I agreed to them. Without belief, I can shape myself into all kinds of needs and medicines, I can be form that has no form or form that has a form without losing the essence of fluidity. I would not force that on anyone. I do not know nor could I believe that would work for everyone or work for an extended amount of time for everyone. Perhaps this is the beginning of my finding what I am coming to think of as Air medicine. There's some appropriation present, but I doubt whatever "this" is will have a name when I am finished and can pass it along. *** When I was at Breitenbush, I had this vision of going to heartcircle and disrobing. For those of you in the know, even a dress of mine has layers upon layers upon layers until the eye can settle on the flesh. However, I don't feel my flesh is representative of my essence, it is, essentially, "the drag" I wear... and I love, but drag nonetheless. While I *could* say this is evidence of needing to spend more time in my mirror, gazing at my reflection, fixing myself in my flesh for a bit... or doing something physical that may exhaust me to underline that mind/body connection I like to let go of so often, where I am going with this is... I never did it because one of my deeper minds could not shake the need to be understood the way I would understand. I don't know about other people, but I come in layers. White Eagle spoke of this as "complex squared" -- to which I delighted (and told him I would steal... oh, I have been thinking about him and Hartsong a lot today...) -- but it's true and tragic: Who can see the self as the self sees the self? Or experience the self the way the self experiences the self? I find myself, right now, realizing how badly I need to read Derrida (and, also, perhaps he can help the direction on my second Octavia E. Butler paper....) who speaks about the divide between self and other (which, recently, Judith Butler debunks, although I don't know how, but I have read articles talking about how she challenges this line of thinking... I wonder how the body figures?) -- I ask for too much. *** Perhaps that is why I am endlessly apologizing... I ask for too much or *feel* like I am asking for too much. Or, and I might have my finger on the trigger here: I am used to being in the position where people ask for things from me -- and I give as unselfishly, as without expectation as I can (and... I can...), but I hate being put in the position where I have to ask for the kinds of things that substain my soul. So often... I see people needing something. I search myself to see if I have anything to give and I give it. -- usually before being properly asked. This kind of service I learned from my mothers. You don't wait for someone to say something if you see it or see it down the line and can offer it. Also, if I need it, too, I give what I can. Perhaps, I endlessly apologize because I am not accustomed to taking. Or there are stipulations on whom I feel comfortable taking from... those relationships where things have been an endless flow of give and take that my discomfort of position never rears its apologetic head. *** It is raining here in Seattle, but the sky is bright. I am not sure whether Ryan and I are going grocery shopping today as Sunday finds our grocery picked over... but also, I think we are both feeling some modicum of lazy and shiftless -- I mean, hell, he hasn't awakened yet! *grins* I will put him to bed as early as he will let me and try to venture out to hang with Kyrdle. A tentative plan. Tomorrow, I plan to track down Hartsong and White Eagle and find out about Naraya -- I wish I had been quicker on the uptake... I have a feeling I might should have tried to go -- how often will it be on Vashon Island? An island that has been my totem for 8 years, where I have always found peace and my heart opened. While it doesn't take much more than being in voice to make me break out in aria, I usually don't do so at Thirftway. Talked to Susheel yesterday. *sighs* Feel my sisters and brothers come forward. *sighs* I feel it will all be all right. Just need to make some things manifest and solidify my intention. ... yeah, I like than language. Rye has awakened. I actually proofed this instead of sending it on... I hope to generate conversation, but if I don't, that's ok, too. I'll probably put this in my LJ and MySpace, too... cuz I am feeling it and liking it and desiring a unified front atm. Unofficially, I have drawn a land in the sand. Good thing I'll forget about it and it will fade. | | Tuesday, February 20th, 2007 | 11:59 pm
