The Pagans for Obama Group is planning a magickal working tomorrow (FRIDAY) night.
We're going to perform a "Rolling Circle" Healing Ceremony for the election. That means that are sisters and brothers in the East will begin and then those in each successive time zone will join half an hour later.
This ceremony was the result of a discussion among us about Palin's authorization of aerial hunting of wolves and bears and the horrendous lies and distortions being propelled from the campaign in order to damage Barack.
After much discussion and wise counsel, we are united in creating this ceremony to HEAL the right instead of attack them. The following is an outline of what we will be doing and we invite everyone interested in healing our nation during this election to join us! Please share with anyone who may wish to participate in this landmark magickal work! We can reclaim our nation for the good.
Also, if you'd like to get involved in the founding of true Pagan representation in the political party process, you can join the group on the MyBarackObama site: http://my.barackobama.com/page/group/PagansforObama
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12 - TIMES:
10-10:30 pm Eastern,
9:30-10 pm Central,
9-9:30 pm Mountain,
8:30-9 pm Pacific.
That means we each only need to work half an hour and hand it off to the next time zone to continue to build. Those of us who want or need to work longer, can do so.
THE CEREMONY
We are NOT attacking the individuals, we are attacking the lies using our power animals. I do practice a shamanic path (Faile Gleidhte), and Caroline's comment is exactly right.
As you are doing this work, instead of attacking in anger or malice, you should be hunting for illness. Your power animal will do what SHE/HE does best, so you want to focus your intent to match their abilities or vice versa.
I find that once you are immersed in the work, the animal spirit will take over if you are doing this in a shamanic manner. I know Wiccans usually direct the energy, but I would urge you to become one with your animal spirit and allow HER/HIM to guide the work, that way you probably will not run into the pitfalls of attacking negatively.
In shamanic healing traditions, the "Healer" normally consumes the illnessin order to destroy it. I think in this case, we should be performing a healing ceremony. I think we should focus on healing the illness of Lying, Greed (for power, wealth, etc.), and the illness of Stealing (as in the election). We should attempt to heal with Compassion, a desire to Serve the People, and Honesty. Remember that these individuals were once innocent children and are sacred members of All That Is, just that they are currently sick.
If you allow your animal spirit to stalk, capture, and eat the illnesses, then the universe can properly dispose of it and convert it to the good.
Beaver and others who have different skills can act as connections for those of us who will be feasting and be our anchors and circle holders so to speak. They will be unifying all of our work and performing the vital function of building the framework within which each of us will be working. These peacemaker spirits will also insure that our work is protected from outer workings (i.e., forces working against us-and yes, I believe they are out there praying their little butts off) as well as keeping us from straying into personal attacks.
So, I would divide our work into two categories:
Peacemakers: those who will build and sustain the energy work and keep us focused on consuming/healing/destroying the diseases of lying, stealing, and greed for power. These are all illnesses that shamans typically cure.
Hunters/Eaters: those will seek out the above illnesses and see them as the natural food of our power spirits. Once we find them, we will feast on them. Please remember to share with the Peacemakers before you're done with your work!
For instance, I'll be working with Mother Bear primarily, and will be looking for fat, yummy, spawning, salmon-shaped lies, greed, and thieving energies. It is after all, that time of year! My mouth is watering already, and I can feel HER tugging me to go to the river.
Above all, remember to eat and drink after this working to ground your energy and to digest the poisons. Our work won't actually be finished until we have had our morning constitutional *grin*, so just be aware that you might want to give yourself plenty of space for meditation and rest without a lot of stress or distraction so that the toxic residue of our work doesn't affect you.
Hopefully they’ll have a big TV advertising campaign.
Skyclad = naked.
Father of Lies in a biblical sense as well as a political one.
They need to give Obama a manhood totem...
They don’t chant “Aaahhhmmmm”, they stand in a circle passing around a wine goblet/germ cesspool that they all drink from. Apparently the visions from the intense diarrhea brought on by the Rotavirus are from the gods.
Hey, I put a bumper sticker on my car that says “My other car is a broom” because it was funny since my husband is always calling me a witch (in a playful “don’t hit me honey” way). Apparently that is a Wiccan bumper sticker. Stupid me.
My friend who is Pagan might be doing this actually. She hate that Palin lets people hunt from planes.

Those angry white guys stick together.
Power Animals?
Can ya’ gut them like a Moose?
Maybe BO could use some voodoo dolls to bolster his campaign...after all they don’t talk to reporters.
You atheist FReepers may want to take cover.
Cheers!
BTW, has anyone realized just how fitting the lyrics of "The Immigrant Song" are for Palin?
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
>from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying:
Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
>from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green,
Can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war.
We are your overlords.
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now youd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing.
Cheers!
Awwww, Immigrant Song! I play that for my part-Norwegian crazy viking daughters!
And today we read this.....
Barack Obama’s big blunder
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2082118/posts
With top Dems fearing Barack Obama is in a hole, the Obama campaign has made a weird decision. It’s going to dig that hole deeper, harder and faster.
No more Mr. Nice Guy, Obama vows. He’s going to really start hitting John McCain now. He’s going to make voters understand that McCain equals four more years of George Bush.

I think it backfired.
Time to start some serious praying, er, well,... continue it. But now we know one of the things to pray against.
"A woman accidentally stabbed herself in the foot with a 3-foot-long sword while performing a Wiccan good luck ritual at a cemetery in central Indiana."
My other three power animals were jealous, because she wouldn't share with them.
Yeah; there was a time when pagans could dance nekkid all night, and still have engergy left over for the, uhh, 'rites' when the sun rose. Not making them like they used to.
Too much soft living, what it is.
