HOLIDAY SHIPPING TO MILITARY ADDRESSES
Many of us are sending packages to our loved ones who are deployed overseas and would like them to arrive by the Solstice, or at least December 25. In order to assure a timely arrival, please order early. Postal deadlines vary by address for APO/FPO addresses, but they recommend that military orders be shipped no later than December 11 for orders to all ZIPs except 093. If your loved one's ZIP begins with 093, the U S Postal Service recommends a final shipping date of December 4.
Please bear in mind, this is with a calculated delivery date on or before December 24, so, if you want the packages there by December 21, please plan accordingly. Unfortunately, rush delivery (Second Day, Overnight, etc.) are not available for military addresses. Please follow these guidelines also for shipments to Canada, Alaska and Hawaii, as well as US territories.  THE SACRED ART OF BELLYDANCE
by Amber Zeta
"Come sit next to me. I'd like to teach you an ancient craft. Now draw a dot and concentrate all your energy into the dot. It is the beginning and the end, the navel of the world... When you whirl or circle your pelvis, you are drawing the dot, the origins. From this shape all other movements are born-they all stem from this dot, from the navel in your belly." Grandmother Fawzia Grandmother's Secrets: Ancient Rituals and Healing Power of Belly Dance by Rosina-Fawzia Al-Rawi. Her hips sway back and forth, calling your attention to her feminine form. She dips her hip and spins, her veil flying around her. Her belly undulates and her arms snake up and down, whispering the ancient worship, the oldest religions. Imagine a time when women were honored, where women were revered as life givers, wisdoms bearers, and nurturing healers. Women were proud of their sexuality and their sensual nature was sacred, seen as the essence of fertility and life sustaining energy. In her womb, children are formed. Through her body, life is renewed. Without her, life would end. Her body was a temple. Once, we worshiped the large robust woman, heavy with flesh and curves. Women longed to be her, praying for the plump soft body of the Goddess, praying for the land and their own bodies to keep the races alive. Go here to read this article in its entirety... PAST LIFE RECALL RITUAL
by Karen Charboneau-Harrison
Many people are curious to discover information about past lives that they have experienced. This information can be useful to release subconscious blockages, to understand our interactions with important people in our current life, to bring to flower untapped talents and for simply knowing more about one's self and one's spiritual journey. With the Sun in Aquarius for half of February and then Pisces in the other half, this is a perfect time to make these past life discoveries. Here's a ritual to help you obtain that information!

by Montague Whitsel
Celtic mythology is replete with tripled or triadic deities. In this article I address this phenomenon by first exploring the Celtic fascination with threes and triads as a way of alluding to the mysterious dimensions of the cosmos in which we find ourselves living. I then apply this to the question of why there are triple deities. The major part of the article is then an exploration of the mythos of two triple Goddesses: (1) ANU-DANU-TAILTIU (Goddess of Sources, Springs and the Earth) and (2) the Celtic Lunar Goddess - BOANN-BRIGHID-CERIDWEN, mentioning ways of encountering these Goddesses today, through chant, meditation and imaging.
