"The highest good is like water. Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive. It flows in places men reject and so is like the Tao.

In dwelling, be close to the land.
In meditation, go deep in the heart.
In dealing with others, be gentle and kind.
In speech, be true.In ruling, be just.
In business, be competent.
In action, watch the timing."

Questions...

SO HOW MANY ARE THERE OF YOU?
WHAT TO YOU DO ACTUALLY?

New prospective members always ask the above mentioned questions...

So I thought I might as well put it out there for everyone to read...

WHO WE ARE (so far...)
We are a small group. It is me, my partner (though he is more of an Agnostic Deist), Mark (the philosopher), Gabriel (spiritual teacher) and then we have two or three rotating members.
I have advertised, but the response is minimal... We all have an interest in Paganism and the growth and healing that it can provide.



WHAT DO WE DO?

We meet now at the Hout Bay Buddhist centre that has a huge garden. Usually Sundays at 4PM nearest the relevant Sabbath. Sept 19th or 26th we will meet again for Eostre / Spring equinox...


On the give day we meet, usually catch up whith each other, then start to talk about the themes of the ritual, the changes symbolized in nature, then we have an activity, meditate a bit, before we lay out an altar, and then start a candle magick ritual honoring a god and goddess to invoke those certain strengths in ourselves. We focus on what we want to achieve/ get rid off...


Afterwards we have snacks talk about the ritual, the next phase of the year... and set a date for the next Sabbath meeting..
We are all in our early to late 30's, and open to any sincere spirit to join us and widen our circle...

We are hoping to help others set up a spiritual practice and to develop themselves through this spiritual path...

If you go to our blog, you will find a lot of info

Eish! It's ESHU!

GOD OF THE WEEK:

ESHU: Very popular Trickster God. Particularly keen on Opportunity, Communication and Instant Messaging.


ESHU directs traffic along the Road of Life from his abode at the Crossroads of Fortune. If you're faced with an important choice or a powerful opportunity, ESHU can offer advice to help swing things your way.

A super-speedy go-between, he can carry complaints to the Gods, questions to the spirit world, and messages to any living thing.
With his connections, ESHU can be a powerful ally. But he's also a God with a sense of humor and will often throw a spanner in the works to keep life interesting. This could explain why we don't always get what we want.

Be careful — this God of crossroads is also a master of cross-purposes.

SEX KITTEN

BAST: Daughter of RA, BAST is the cat-headed Goddess of Fertility, Sensuality and Fire Prevention. She also has a flair for avenging wrongs and is feisty enough for the Greeks to have identifed her with ARTEMIS.

Her official headquarters appears to have been at Bubastis on the Nile Delta, where she had an annual festival. A lot of water has flowed down the Nile since then and festivals are few and far between. Why not hold your own cat festival? It may do you and your cats the power of good.

BAST was a very useful Goddess who performed a vital public service. In the event of fire, her cat servants would run into the flames to draw out the power. These were the original fire extinguishers.

Sadly this practise did lead to a few charred cats. However, cats were revered in Egypt and we're sure there was no deliberate cruelty involved. After all, with nine lives, they might come back, albeit slightly singed. The Egyptians must have been very grateful for these fire-fighting services, as dead cats were mummified and sent to join BAST in the spirit world.

There's a tendency nowadays to regard BAST as the Goddess of Sex and Lesbians, but that has more to do with modern sex-kittens. Cats are very sensual animals but you don't want to get scratched.

We feel sure it is due to BAST's powers that we now have smoke alarms and catflaps, so never underestimate the power of the original cat-woman. Be kind to cats. And remember, kind to cats means tough on icky rats.

Blessed Be,

GReen Phoenix.

GREEN PHOENIX...

DEITY of the WEEK! - MARS

MARS!!!

Mars is the Roman god of WAR, but also associated with vegetation, fertility and spring... so quite befitting for the next phase of IMBOLC we will be moving into.

MARS visited farms and battlefields.

HE WAS THE MOST WORSHIPPED ROMAN GOD. More than his Greek counterpart ARES who was just a bloodlusting jock.

Also Mars had two sons REMUS AND ROMULUS... the twins were left to die out in nature due to some twists of fate but a she-wolf nursed them to adulthood. And from their playground ROME arose in all it's mights, hence MARS being venerated with Roman legions conquering all of the old world and the gladiators in the Colosseum.

ROME's symbol till today are two baby boys drinking from a she-wolf. Gross, but true..
.

Also worth noting, Mars's symbol is the male symbol...

Blessed Be,

Green Phoenix...

Hotties!

WHY GREEN???

Merry Meet,

For those who read this blog you may wonder why we celebrate the "Green Man" and why we call ourselves "Green Men". The answer is as follows:

- the Green Man symbolizes the power of nature, the wild, untamed energy that we are all tied to as living beings on this earth and a Pagan way of living.

- the Green Man is also a good representation as our members are all male who celebrate their Pagan spirituality and connection with the natural world.

- and he is just plain sexy, wild (also known as the Horned God, he inspired the word 'horny')

So what are the origins of the green man? Where did he come from? What was and is his relevance?

The Great Horned God

He is the consort of the Goddess, a symbol of piercing and strong male energy, The Horned God reigns over all nature and fertility. He is the lord of the woodlands, the hunt and animals. He provides for the tribe through the hunt and is honored or rewarded for his deed by being permitted to copulate with the Goddess through the Great Rite.

Do not be discouraged or feel that the Green Man excludes gay men. Remember he is wild, untamed, Pagan and basically loves sex indiscriminately. Homosexuality is pervasive and well documented in animal and is natural. Christianity labeled it otherwise and created intollerence. The Green Man is a symbol of fertility, nature and all natural urges - so let's just say the Green Man wouldn't mind bringing the Goddess out in you.

The Horned God is is the lord of life, death and the underworld. And is the Sun to the Goddess' Moon. He alternates with the Goddess in ruling over the fertility cycle of birth, death and rebirth. He is born at the winter solstice (Dec 21st - NH), unites with the Goddess in marriage at Bealtaine (May 1st -NH), and dies at the summer solstice (June 21st - NH) to bring fertility to the land as the Sacred King.

He is not just a Celtic representation of the God, nor does he solely belong to Wicca, as he has been associated with many deities throughout the world, e.g.

Cernunnos, The Celtic God of fertility, animals and the underworld.

Herne The Hunter, a specter of Britain.

Pan the Greek god of the woodlands,

Janus the Roman god of good beings.

Tammuz and Damuzi, the son, lover and consorts to Ishtar and Inanna.

Osiris, the Egyptian Lord of the vegetation, the earth and the underworld.

Dionysus, the Greek god of vegetation and vine.

Okuni-nushi, the Japanese god of fertility and the earth.

Unkulunkulu, the Zulu god of creation, the earth and the hunt and finally

The Green Man, the lord of vegetation and the woodlands.

The History Of The Horned One

Paintings discovered in the Caverne des Trois Freres at Ariege, France provides evidence of the first views of the Horned One. Depicted as a stag standing upright on hind legs with the upper body of a man, the figure is celebrating what appears to be a hunt and wooing a woman - or a hot lusty guy. The Green Man relates to us as well as sexuality is fluid and feminine and masculine qualities are not bound to male or female, top or bottom.

From some of the earliest myths come the union between the fertile Goddess and the triumphant phallus hunter, the Horned God. The more successful the tribal hunter in providing for his people, the greater his stature became. The more likely he would be the one chosen to impregnate the "Mother" of the tribe.

During these rituals, the Hunter would appear dressed or cloaked in the skin of his kill with the horns of the stag resting victoriously upon his head. Some legends describe the blood of the beast engulfing both the Horned Hunter and the Goddess, believing the life taken from the animal is transferred to the womb of the fertile Mother, thus providing life.

To the Celts as Cernunnos, the Horned God was more than just a fertile being. He is found throughout the Celtic lands and folklore as the guardian of the portal leading to the Otherworld. The name Cernunnos is known only through damaged carvings found at Notre Dame. In these carvings, a deity with short horns carries the incomplete inscription 'ERNUNNO'. In his earliest of days he was probably the fertility god to the Gauls. But as time progressed and his legends grew, he became associated with wealth and prosperity. He was such an important deity to the pagan Celts, that his image and prowess became a major target for the early Christian church. It is his image that is believed to have been adopted for their mythos of the Devil 'deo falsus' or the false god. His status as the god of Hell would coincide with the view of the pagan Celts as the guardian of the Otherworld.

As Herne the Hunter, the British version of the Horned God; he is seen as the leader of the Wild Hunt. As an antlered giant, he is rumored to still survive and live in the forests of Windsor Great Park. His longevity is owed to the cult of Cernunnos, who have also linked his generosity to provide for the tribe to the legend of Robin Hood. Some suggest that Herne was the father to Robin of Loxley; which is probably more an association since Herne is a much older figure in legend and myth. In this ability to provide for the tribe as the great Hunter of the wood, he is forever linked to the Horned God.

As the Greek deity of pastures, flocks and herds, Pan was half man and half goat. With the legs and horns and beard of a goat. He is the offspring of Hermes, but his mothers lineage is in question. Either he is the result of Hermes and Dryope daughter of King Dropys, who's flocks he tended. Or Hermes and Penelope. His cult is centered around Arcadia where he is reported to haunt the woodlands, hills and mountains. Sleeping at noon and then dancing through the woods as he played the panpipes, which he is credited with inventing. He is the lusty leader of the satyrs (woodland deities), and continually chases the nymphs (the beautiful nature goddesses). During rituals, his essence is invoked to for fertility of the flocks or for an abundant hunt. Associating him with the legends of the Horned God.

As Osiris the Egyptian god of the lower world, he is seen as the judge of the dead. Linking him to the concept of Cernunnos as the guardian of the gate to the Other World. He is the brother of Isis, but he is also her husband. Isis as the goddess of fertility her status as the Mother is propagated by the services provided her by Osiris. Once again linking his image with that of the Horned One.

As the Green Man he is the God of the woodlands and vegetation. He is also known as 'Green Jack", "Jack in the Green" and "Green George". He represents the spirits of the trees, plants and foliage who has many powers over nature that promote growth. He has the power to make it rain and foster the livestock with lush meadows.

As Green George he has been represented as a young man cloaked head to foot in greenery. In early depictions, the green vegetation emphasized his phallic symbol of fertility as he lead processions through tribal lands. As the Green Man he shares his woodland home with the forest fairies often called "Greenies" or "Greencoaties". What today we call Nature Sprites. The Green Man is depicted as a horned man peering out from a mask of foliage, connecting him to the image of Horned God.

Then there is also Robin Hood, Shakespeare's Puck and John Barleycorn that represent him in literature

Hope this makes sense and gets you a clearer image of the Green Man / Horned God.

Blessed Be!

Green Phoenix.

god it is almost IMBOLC!

So IMBOLC is almost upon us and I thought it would be a good to start thinking about which god’s we’d honor…So that brought me to BRIGID and AONGHUS

BRIGID

IMBOLC is Brigid’s party. We honor her at this times as she is the goddess for healing and fertility. Though a Celtic goddess she was turned into St. Brigit by the Irish Christians. She knew how to work on a budget and make food stretch as she could feed animals without raiding the pantry in the last days of winter.

BRIGID is honored at this when spring around the corner; as ewes came into milk as the mating game heats up in the animal kingdom. She is very much associated with movement towards spring and a renewal of life (i.e. increased horniness… not that we gay boys need any help ; - > )

BRIGID is also known as St. Bride. Many weddings happen at this time in Ireland and the ceremony of preparing the “bride’s bed” is one of the many that symbolizes the preparing for spring and summer with a spate of new babies.

There is even rumour angels flew her to Jerusalem to breastfeed baby Jesus...

AONGHUS

AONGHUS who is the god of love, since IMBOLC has to do with coupling and weddings. He was exceptionally handsome and four birds always hovered above his head (how romantic – but where did those birds poo?)

AONGHUS fell in love with CAER, but her dad didn’t want them to marry. So he said if AONGHUS could identify her and she would consent, they could go to the chapel. Her dad tricked AONGHUS and turned CAER into a swan and put her on a lake with a thousand other swans.

AONGHUS’s love was true and he instantly recognized her, turned into a swan himself and together they flew across the land singing beautiful songs that would lull standersby to sleep… (awhhhh!)

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT! ANy other ideas for IMBOLC deities?

Hope to see you at the Bhuddist Centre in Hout Bay on AUG 1ST @ 4PM.

Last of the SEVEN

These are the last two of the SEVEN JAPANESE GODS OF FORTUNE.And this time it is all about the green stuff… not grass… money…

#6 FUKUROKUJU (no that name is not a swearword.)
He is the god of wealth, happiness, and longevity. He is also starry eyed as he is the living personification of the southern polar star.

The bearded Fukurokuju has an unusually elongated forehead (big enough for advertising space). He is typically shown in the customary garments of a Chinese scholar and holding a cane with a scroll attached to it. He may also have a tortoise or crane near him (both creatures are icons of longevity in China and Japan).

FUKUROKUJU was a late comer to THE LUCKY 7 not included in the earliest representations of the seven in Japan.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST….THE SCARY ONE!!!

BISHAMONTEN: The god of war and warriors, and a dispenser of wealth and good fortune.

Bishamonten 毘沙門 is also considered a god of healing, with the power to save emperors from life-threatening illness and to expel the demons of plague.

He is the enforcer! He hears everything; bestows treasure and wealth to the worthy; heals illness; expels demons and evil; also known as the Great Black Warrior.

BISHAMONTEN is always ready for a fight, usually clad in armor, with a spear (trident) or sword in one hand and a pagoda (stupa) in the other.

He is the scourge of evil doers. He is both a protector of and dispenser of its bounty -- he shares the pagoda’s vast treasures with only "the worthy."

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT THE COMPLETE SEVEN LUCKY GODS OF FORTUNE!

Which is you favourite?

Blessed Be,

Green Phoenix

#FIVE out of Seven

SEVEN LUCKY GODS OF JAPAN

FOR ALL THE CHUBBY CHASERS!
NUMBER 7 - HOTEI 布袋. He is one of those who seem not to have a care in the world. He is the god of contentment and happiness, he loves and gaurds kids and... is the patron of bartenders? (That Beefcakes hotty is covered then!)

HOTEI 布袋 has a cheerful face and a big belly. You will recognize him as the Fat, Laughing Buddha whose tummy everyone always wants to rub.

If you are hungry and down on your luck he is the god to call on. He carries a large cloth bag over his back that never empties, and he uses it to feed the poor and needy. The bag includes an inexhaustible supply of treasures, including food and drink.

Hotei is most likely based on the itinerant 10th-century Chinese Buddhist monk and hermit Budaishi (d. 917), who is said to be an incarnation of Miroku Bodhisattva (Maitreya in Sanskrit).


Hotei is sometimes shown surrounded by a group of small children, romping and squealing in delight around the chubby deity.

Recently, Hotei is also referred to as the patron saint of restaurateurs and bartenders. When one over eats and over drinks, one may sometimes jokingly attribute it to Hotei’s influence. (His powers are strongest on weekends).

SEVEN LUCKY GODS NO 2, 3 & 4

DEITY OF THE WEEK

JUROJIN: This feller is someone to talk to when you need some insight. He is the The god of wisdom, Jurōjin 寿老人. He is pinched by the Japanese from is China’s Taoist pantheon.

Jurōjin theme song is "FOREVER YOUNG" as he is immortal.

He is described in legends as a great lover of wine and UNFORTUNATELY fond of female company. (HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS MISSING!)

Often depicted as an old man with a long white beard carrying a knobbly staff with a scroll tied to it, on which is written the life span of all living things or, in other accounts, a record of all the good and bad deeds committed by all beings (SANTA???), or the book of knowledge .

The deer, a symbol of longevity, commonly accompanies him as a messenger, as do other long-lived animals such as the stag, crane, or tortoise.


* Daikokuten: He is "the salt of the earth" type God, revered by farmers. He reigns over agriculture but also wealth and prosperity and... flood control? He represents FORTUNE, so if you like money or would like that Merc he is the one to pray to


&

* Benzaiten: This beauty is one classy lady as she is the token Goddess of Music & Fine Arts. She is the only female amongst the 7 Gods of Fortune which might explain why she is also known for Eloquence and Literature, probably leaving us with those Japanese sayings that sound so serene and leave us Westerners feeling so inadequate. She also represents amiability as a virtue. Artist and musicians love her... PS. She has a large gay following.

Stay tuned for more next week!

Some hotties outdoors!

YULE CELEBRATION!

HEYA Green Bro's!

BACKGROUND ON YULE!

Yule is otherwise known as the Winter Solstice, having shortest day/longest night of the year, and even though we yet to have our coldest months of July and August, the Sun steadily grows stronger with each passing day. Life is once again stirring in the ground, and we look forward to the day when the frosts are gone - though in weird and wonderful Cape Town this is a time or rain and flowering?

This is the time that the Goddess becomes mother again as she gives birth to her Beltane Baby, thus associated as a fertility ritual with the continuation of life. The night belongs to the Goddess, and is a night of waiting, through Her pregnancy, for the Child of Promise.

SO WHAT IS YULE ABOUT? It is a time to let go of all fears, all doubts, all outworn ideas, all projects finished, anything in our lives that holds us away from the new beginnings that will lead to new growth. It is a time to let go of the past and walk toward the light.
On this the longest night, we renew and rebirth our bodies and spirit self.

Deity of the week! - SEVEN GODS OF FORTUNE (Japan) - Shichi Fukujin

Hey Green Bro's!

It seems our honouring of AMATERASU last week brought on the sunshine! Yeyh! So why not focus on some other Japanese Gods to bring us luck and fortune?

Forget the HOLY TRINITY! Double your chances with the SEVEN GODS OF FORTUNE! Though they are a Japanese institution, only one is originally from Japanese Shinto, the rest incorporate the Indian Hindu and Chinese Taoist pantheons. These seven deities will encompass seven virtues that bring luck and fortune. SO BAFANA BAFANA PAY ATTENTION! ;->


Let’s focus on them one by one, starting with EBISU! The god of Good Fortnune, Commerce, Honest Labour (yes it means hard work), Candor & Fair dealing.


Who does he favour? Sailors (mhhh…), firshermen & people in the food industry (Well, maybe not Gordon Ramsey!) He has a posh train station named after him in central Tokyo. He can be seen always with a fishing rod, a fish in the other and a wide grin.

Stay tuned next week for the next deity in the seven series of lucky gods!

Blessed Be,

Green Phoenix

Guys in nature!

Hey Green Bro's!

Here are some hot men communing with nature! Enjoy!!!
