for virtually every act we take involves harm to something or someone. When we walk on the grass, the
weight of our footsteps crushes some of the plants. Every meal we eat comes to us at the cost of at least
one life, whether it be the death of an animal or plant, or the sacrifice of the life-to-be embodied in an egg
or a fruit.
Perhaps in the end we should be practising the sort of conservator ethic that applies on a lifeboat adrift at
sea: to minimise waste just as we strive to limit suffering. And when we walk out under the starry sky at
night, we may see more clearly that our Earth is a lifeboat, and that may impel use to give more attention
to our many duties as Witches. So, we can better understand the Wiccan Rede and our duty of care if we
look at it in terms of relative harm rather than absolute harm.
The real test of our devotion to the Craft, the Earth and the Gods may be our continual awareness that all
of our actions could cause harm to someone or something, and that our central duty is to refrain from
needlessly harmful acts.

General information: Attracting Positive Energy
Posted by: Nyxks on Sunday, March 07, 2004 - 01:48 PM
Positive energy could come in the form of a new job, new relationship, sudden burst of
happy energy, or just about any new form. The following are lists of things to do when
you're feeling stuck in a rut, or depressed...
Try and clear away some of the stale negative energy. Maybe clean through your
belongings and get rid of the ones you no longer need. Forgive all past angers and ask to be
forgive by anyone whose angry at you.
Say goodbye to old blocks. If you're one of those people who routinely thinks "oh, I couldn't do that.." or
"I'm not good enough..." then you're sabotaging yourself. Can you think of where you picked up those
beliefs? Start noticing when you put yourself down and do your best to change your way of thinking.
You can do what you are meant to do, and you are good enough. Start focusing on positive things. Write
a list of good things about yourself.
Use positive affirmations, such as "I am a wonderful creative person" or "I have everything I need to
enjoy my here and now." Affirmations are short positive comments that are made in the present tense.
(You say "I am... " not "I will be....".) These can be written down, or repeated through out the day, or
however you find works best for you.
Use Creative Visualization. If you can't picture yourself being happy, how do you expect to become
happy? A simple visualization might simply be sitting quietly and picture a light shining down over you,
filling you with joy.
Send positive energy out to other people!! Do good deeds in secret. Give to the Universe, and trust the
Universe will be generous in return.
Be kind to your body. Your body is a marvelous, wonderful part of you. Treat it kindly. Drink enough
water. Give it loving excercise, and the nutrients it needs. One of the ways I do this is by throwing
various fruits into a blender and making a thick healthy mixture to drink. Snack on carrots. A healthy
body is magic.
Be thankful. Say thanks for all the wonderful things in your life.
