Power is the Electricity that runs the machinery at work, home or wherever. Power is the energy that people exert during personal exchanges on various levels of being i.e. physically, mentally, spiritually. Power is what people give to people in office to do the needs of the people (one could only hope). Power is to create change for better or worse. Power is natural & artificial. Power can be positive and negative (depending on the circumstances). All living beings have power to some extent otherwise, they would not exist. The Universe is Power and has Power. The Living Life Force. Which has many names as there are many different cultures & species of life on this Green & Blue planet and on many other planets out in the span of space. And yet, they are all one. To exert Power over another human being is that Power? Yes and No. Again, it depends on the circumstances. If one is hurt by another then that is not Power that is Ego that thinks it has Power. Without conscience ness ego runs amuck. I would ask that all beings (regardless of spiritual path or upbringing) as I ask myself to be careful how one uses the Power of the Life Force to do one's work. Whether for good or ill. For it will return in a way you least expect. And you just might say if you realize it... oh, no! I get the picture. Take care...

| There is much going on in our lives. There is much going on in SerpentStone. There is change. There is great change. Change brings turmoil, fear, emotional upheavals and the like. Why? Why do we fear change? Why do we fight change? If we do not change, do we not stagnate? I am one to welcome change most of the time. I have my times when change is scary or not what I want at the time it hits. Most changes are for the best, but we usually only see that after we've been through the ups and downs of the change cycle. SerpentStone is growing and changing by leaps and bounds and has been for some time. This has caused much turmoil, upheaval, emotional flare ups and more. Change brings out the worst in us when it should bring out the best in us. There are many new faces in SerpentStone and they welcome the change. There are many long time members welcoming change. There are many that are fighting change. There are many who see these changes as the end of SerpentStone as it was in the beginning. With larger membership and modern times, change is necessary. Change is inevitable. The past is the past and though we can learn from it and keep what works, we must also adapt what we have kept to fit the times. When an entity grows in size, it must change and adapt its life to meet the challenges of this new size. SerpentStone is much larger than it was in the beginning and with that growth comes change. Adaptation and change are the keys. Scary as that might be, it is a necessary evil. SerpentStone is very much alive, healing, and evolving. The question is will we continue to survive or will we perish? It's up to all of you to keep SerpentStone alive. Will you help us adapt or will you allow us to stagnate and die?

| June 2, 2002 | Waning Moon Our Lady will be in her fourth phase, in her decline. Now is the time for breaking down, destruction, doing away with what does not work for healing and the wisdom for seeing this appears. This is the time of the Dark Mother, Crone & Grandmother as she does not need light to see in the depths of being. She gives us a choice to see or not to see. The question is "Are we willing to see what is there?" Her name is "Hecate," and many others according to culture. | ||
| June 10, 2002 | New Moon: Our Lady will be in her first phase, she's beginning anew. Her name at this time is "Green Hecate" and many others according to culture. | ||
| June 17, 2002 | Waxing Moon: Our Lady will be in her second phase waxing, thus she is building energy and focusing it for whatever need arises. Her name at this time is "Diana" and many others according to culture. | ||
| June 24, 2002 | Full Moon: Our Lady will be in her third phase, totally full. This is the height of her being and fulfillment of all, as the great mother is about to give birth. Her name is "Selene" and many others according to culture. | ||

Litha, Midsummer, Summer Solstice |
| Yes, we are finally coming to Litha...... which is the balance of Yule. For some religious paths this marks the High point of Summer, hence, the longest day of the year, for other's this marks the beginning of Summer. For Pagans & Witches this is a Minor Holiday whereas, for Druids this is a Major Holiday. Still yet, Litha marks the birthing of the Holy King (the Dark Lord) of which as he grows the light begins to wane, just the opposite of the Oak King at Yule. This is also the peak of nature. All of nature abounds with life and we go through the harvest periods prior to the dark months......... |

For the Litha Family Gathering At Dragon Hills the Waning Moon will be in Scorpio: |
|
This fixed, feminine water sign is co ruled by Mars and Pluto, so this Moon doesn't mess around. She's all dressed up in her formal black, looking so good she knows you can't take your eyes off of her.
Scorpio is the most intense sign out there, and when the moon is here, she feels everything to the absolute nth degree--everything. Needless to say, we do, too. Passion, joy, jealousy, betrayal, love, and desire all take center stage in our lives now, as all our emotions deepen to the point of possible obsession. Be careful of a tendency to become secretive, suspicious, or to brood or "stew" over an offense that was not intended. Now is a great time to play detective, investigate a mystery, do research, "dig"--both figuratively and literally--and allow ourselves to become intimate with someone. |
