Re: _AVALON LOUNGE_ Open 24 hours
your welcome
your celebrations start on your birthday luminari, in prep for the solstice, on the 21st, when the dawn sun is hailed as he wakes up. but for you its litha, so the oak king fights with the holly king and loses. i love the story so the green man and his mother/lover/consort, reminds me of the story of jesus and mary, just more in tune with nature. bou x

Re: _AVALON LOUNGE_ Open 24 hours
At Midsummer, the Holly King, God of the Waning Year, vanquishes the Oak King, God of the Waxing Year. Celebrate passion and success. This is a night of powerful magick. Laurie Cabot, in Celebrate the Earth, calls midsummer the sun's sea change, when the sun reaches its peak, and "in one magical instant begins to wane." A midsummer fire was traditionally fueled by the friction between two sacred woods -- fir and oak. The element of fire is an important component of Midsummer, possibly because the sun is blazing in the sky and the heat generates thunder and lightning.
Says Cabot: "The tradition of hurling fire wheels into the air or down from atop a sacred hill was a common practice throughout Europe up until the 19th century or even later." As at Beltane, herds were driven through the embers of Midsummer fires to purge them of disease. Rubbing the ashes from the Beltane fire on our foreheads at Midsummer heightens our magickal powers. (they roll rounds of cheese in the uk, fire was a little unsafe!!!) bou x

Re: _AVALON LOUNGE_ Open 24 hours
Hey Luminari, you know the old, old legend about the girl kissing a frog and he turns into a handsome prince? Well, I read somewhere years ago that the truth of the matter is that it was a toad rather than a frog and like cane toads, it produced a secretion. This secretion was hallucinogenic and the person kissing the frog would see what they desired most in life.
I wonder if it works with cane toads - we've got a few that managed to avoid the golf club. |

then dropped after it failed to 'catch on with the public'. All i remembered of it was it had a cool riff and the DJ saying it was an Australian band and i remembered the band name began with a soft g sound. Over the years i would think to myself 'what was that song and will i ever hear it again?' Then last night i got the bug up my butt to see if i could somehow figure out who the band was and the name of the song and thanks to wikipedia and youtube - whalla! |

Re: _AVALON LOUNGE_ Open 24 hours
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. good morn bou x
