<p><span><strong>Interview by Michael Limnios</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>How has the Blues music influenced your views of the world? What does the blues mean to you?</strong></span></p>
<p><span>My family owned and operated a juke-joint and rooming house in the mid-south delta of Arkansas, and I was born into and grew up in the lifestyle. As a child, I would stand in front of the jukebox and dream. I'd pretend that every guitar player on each record was me. I am an authentic American delta bluesman. My entire world view has been influenced by blues music. I am a product of the culture. The blues has been both my recreation and my occupation for as long as I can remember.</span></p>
<p><span><strong>How do you describe your sound and songbook? What's the balance in music between technique and soul?</strong></span></p>
<p><span>My "sound" is a mixture of the old and the new and the accidental. ..and it is still developing as I learn and adapt to new styles and information that I learn or that I improvise or stumble upon as time goes by. </span><span>In the beginning, I was taught and mentored by blues legends like Little Johnny Taylor ('Part Time Love', 'Open House at My House' ect.), Calvin Leavy ('Cummins Prison Farm'), Larry Totsie Davis ('As The Years Go Passing By' and 'Texas Flood' ...that was later re-recorded and made famous by Stevie Ray Vaughn), Rev. James T. Phillips (..who was lead singer and guitarist for the gospel group the Zion Five), Red Harpo, Willie Cobb and many great blues and gospel artists and musicians that never achieved national fame, but were all great entertainers and innovators.</span></p>
<p><span>My first influence was traditional blues. </span><span>But as time went by, I fell in love with the music of Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke, Percy Mayfield, BB King and the masters of soul, funk and R&B like James Brown, George Clinton, Prince and Jimi Hendrix. </span><span>There is no balance between technique and soul with me... it's all soul and guesswork... I can't read music.</span></p>

<p><span><strong>What moment changed your music life the most? What´s been the highlights in your life and career so far?</strong></span></p>
<p><span>The moment that received a phone call from Jan Mittendorp at Black & Tan Records to come perform on blues festivals in Europe. From juke-joints to European blues festivals Now that's a life changing moment! Paris, Germany, Romania, Italy, Austria, Amsterdam, Belgium ...too many places & shows to mention here. One of my favorite shows was when I represented Black & Tan Records on the Blues Passions Festival at the Hennessy Castle Fairgrounds in Cognac, France. We performed on the main stage for 15,000 fans! No matter whatever happens in the future I will always be loyal to Black & Tan Records. ..forever grateful. They believed in me and opened a door that elevated my life to a whole new level when no one else would.</span></p>
<p><span><strong>Are there any memories from gigs, jams, open acts and studio sessions which you’d like to share with us?</strong></span></p>
<p><span>I had fun...performed LIVE! ...in a Juke-Joint, somewhere along the Blues Highway!</span></p>
<p><span><strong>What do you miss most nowadays from the blues of the past? What are your hopes and fears for the future of?</strong></span></p>
<p><span>What I miss most about the old guys is the authenticity and the originality. ..every artist had his own style. Today many of the new artists seem to focus on sounding "like" Muddy or "like" Hendrix ect. and so, a lot of the newer music sounds formularized and predictable. I want to variate from the formula. </span><span>It's my hope to take elements of traditional blues and infuse it into elements of contemporary music like funk, jazz, and soul and hip-hop to create a style of music that will appeal to both the traditional listener and attract the younger contemporary audience. For example, in our live shows my band performs a song where I sing Tyrone Davis' soul song 'In The Mood' and blend in lyrics from the hip-hop song 'Smile' by TuPac & Scarface and then, lay a funky blues rock guitar solo on top of that monolog between the verses. </span><span>I sound crazy don't I? ...well, the audiences that we play for really like what we are doing...they call it 'gangsta blues' and we have been holding down a main stage residency at Harlow's Casino in Greenville, MS for over 15 years playing it that way! As far as fears for the future... I can't see any...I believe this new style bring old and new together.</span></p>

<p><span><em>"The blues will always be here...transmogrifying and mutating and morphing into new and different forms. And yet at the same time it remains the same...just below the surface of any song you will find the blues." (Photo: Billy Jones and the Delta Blues Outlaws)</em></span></p>
<p><span><strong>What are some of the most important lessons you have learned from your experience in the music paths?</strong></span></p>
<p><span>True greats are not those born with golden spoons in their mouths… but those who through hard work turn their own wooden spoon into gold.<br/></span></p>
<p><span><strong>Why is it important to we preserve and spread the blues? What is the role of Blues in today’s society?</strong></span></p>
<p><span>The blues will always be here...transmogrifying and mutating and morphing into new and different forms. And yet at the same time it remains the same...just below the surface of any song you will find the blues.</span></p>
<p><span><strong>Do you think there is an audience for blues music in its current state? or at least a potential for young people to become future audiences and fans?</strong></span></p>
<p><span>There certainly is an audience for blues music in today's world because the blues is timeless...it's eternal...and there is the potential for even greater audience growth as we explore the ever-expanding musical variations of the art form...it's the main ingredient. </span><span>Traditional blues is only the beginning...funk, rock, jazz, pop, soul, grunge, hip-hop or even country music are all simply offshoots and incarnations of the blues...they are all built on the foundation and framework of the blues...the one four five...sometimes just the one. </span><span>The key is to educate the young audience on how to recognize and understand that these styles are based on and derived from the blues...and to educate the "traditional" audience to except and appreciate that the newer songs are based on and evolved from the blues.</span></p>

<div><br/> <em><strong>The Billy Jones Band: 'Funky Blues & Southern Soul Vol.1'</strong></em><br/> <a href="http://www.lahoradelblues.com/criticas.htm" class="postlink" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://www.lahoradelblues.com/criticas.htm</a><br/><br/><em>Born in the deep south of United States, where segregation was present in most aspects of daily life, Billy Jones grew up in his grandfather's bar, listening to blues in different juke joints and bars. Elmore James, Big Joe Turner, Jackie Wilson, B. B. King, Muddy Waters, Sam Cooke and other great blues and soul musicians were his influences and, when he was only five years old, he already had a guitar on his hands. Soon he started to perform for the American troops, which allowed him to travel all over the world and get a wide musical experience. Now he brings us his last and excellent recording, that accurately combines blues, funk and southern soul, always with an excellent taste and class, which makes as a result an actual urban sound, perfect to attract the new generations of blues music lovers. Ten powerful songs with an amazing punch and good rhythm, where Billy Jones’ well pitched voice and excellent guitar work shine like a dazzling star, perfectly supported by Corey Bray on keyboards, Rev. "Do Dirty" Kendrix on bass and Mark Flinoil on drums. A highly recommended work. In short words, this is a superb album in many concepts. <strong>GREAT</strong>.</em></div>

<p><span>2014 was a harder year for me then most. I took care of my best friend who had stage four cancer until she passed this summer. She gave me all of her belongings to sell so that I could pay off my house. She lived in my house with me and was a hoarder so it took me all of 6 months and 7 dumpsters full of trash to sort through everything. My house is still full of her "stuff".</span></p>
<p><br/><span>Just as I was going to give up hope and just let the fates take me where they will, I got a convo from a beautiful lady friend. Just talking with her on FB everyday lifted my spirits and we soon began dating. Although we live 5 hours apart she is the best thing that has happened to me in a very long time...15+ years. I am not sure where I would be today without her. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>That being said...I am revitalized and making lots more jewelry. Some time in the future I may be moving down to the DC area to be closer to her as well as a possible apprenticeship with a goldsmith. First I have to get my debts paid as well as my house paid off and fixed up to sell. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>It has been a long road but I think I just might make it!</span></p>

<p><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">Had to have my Lucy put to sleep recently. She was with us for nearly 10 years and we tried the whole time to keep her healthy. She was allergic to flea bites and would end up with secondary infections, hair loss and just plain miserable.

<p><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;" class="font-size-3">Had to have my Lucy put to sleep recently. She was with us for nearly 10 years and we tried the whole time to keep her healthy. She was allergic to flea bites and would end up with secondary infections, hair loss and just plain miserable. Every summer she would get out of the house and be so happy, but by the end of the summer when I was able to catch her, she was a mess.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;" class="font-size-3">The first time it happened she nearly died, I was sick with worry until we caught her and got her well again. It would usually take a little while to tame her again as she would always become a bit feral. Once she was tamed she was an absolute sweetheart, but scared of everything, noises, people, movements. I had developed special hand signals that she understood so that I could interact with her. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;" class="font-size-3">This summer she was out again and unfortunately she was not quite the same when she came in. She was even sleeping in her litter box, waste and all. When the vet said that Lucy's quality of life wasn't there... I knew it was time. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;" class="font-size-3">On top of the care of Lucy, my husband who is a disabled Vietnam vet is terminal and I blame Agent Orange as he had that stuff dumped on top of him while he was in the jungle! With the care of my husband there just wasn't the time to devote to Lucy. I couldn't put her into a rescue situation because with all her quirks she would be too traumatized.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;" class="font-size-3">When I left the vet I was in shock, to say the least. I found myself at a coffee shop and was surprised by that because I was headed home. While waiting for my order I realized that I was thinking of Lucy when she was younger, playing, like she was saying she was ok now. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;" class="font-size-3">Then I stopped into my favorite metaphysical shop, Mystery Gallery, just down the street from my house. Upon entering I kept hearing "angel-kitty" dancing through my brain. I searched all through the angel area and found no cat. So I hunted the whole store, thoroughly! Way in the back, in the bottom of a window-case was a gray kitten fairy. It didn't have the same markings as her but it was close, and the fur wasn't as long either. As soon as I bought it I began to feel better. It now sits in the china hutch in the dining room, between the front room and the kitchen so I pass her multiple times a day.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;" class="font-size-3">This is Lucy and the statue...</span></p>

<p>You have all seen them. You have read about them through history back. They walk beside you and past you and away from you. We see them everyday and have even become accustomed to their very presence in our day to day living. They will be there tomorrow. The ones I speak of look like everybody else. You can't see them because of the clothes they wear or the smell they have or the sounds they make. You can feel them though. They raise the hairs on the back of your neck. Make your heart beat…</p>
<p>You have all seen them. You have read about them through history back. They walk beside you and past you and away from you. We see them everyday and have even become accustomed to their very presence in our day to day living. They will be there tomorrow. The ones I speak of look like everybody else. You can't see them because of the clothes they wear or the smell they have or the sounds they make. You can feel them though. They raise the hairs on the back of your neck. Make your heart beat faster. Make you sweat and even glance about and ask, What, Who was that?! </p>
<p> There is a way to be safe from them. Some would say run, others fight! I would say remain aware.</p>
<p>And Keep your sword arm strong! They are different only in the place you cannot see into. The mind. Now some will and can say, hey! what about the gate way of the eye? But the eye can be manipulated not only theirs but yours. And so I always have said the eye is but a gateway for the sword-point to meet the brain. The ones I am talking about are not always great ones, sometimes they are the lowest of threat's. Still they can take your life without even a thought. I am gonna tell you who they are but you won't believe me. Not at first but, Want to know the most dangerous person to your life and way of being?!!.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p> Look into your mirror.</p>
<p></p>
<p> The Cure! is three rules.</p>
<p>1. Nothing in excess</p>

<p>Eva Fidjeland’s “Metamorphosis”</p>
<p>A new trend in visual art is emerging due to artist Eva Fidjeland’s implementation of an innovative, creative approach to the process of manufacturing art. The artist is known internationally for creating in a variety of mediums, from the traditional canvas to digital, and is currently presenting her work in a new style of collaborative art. The artist is displaying her creative expertise within the various mediums and is also transforming her physical expression and character for introduction within her creations. Fidjeland is seamlessly incorporating aspects of digital technology with visual and performing art, creating unique works that tell stories through intricate details.</p>

<p>Eva Fidjeland’s “Dragon”</p>
<p></p>
<p>Fidjeland’s extensive collection of digital photography captures the aesthetic details of her subjects, including still, animal and plant life. In a digital work entitled “Dragon”, Fidjeland presents a close perspective upon her subject, highlighting multiple intricate aesthetic details. Notice how the detail of the wings is of a different aesthetic quality than the legs and other areas of art. In the midst of these details, emerges the dragon fly’s expression, providing the observer with a neighboring view of its moment in time. </p>

<p>Eva Fidjeland’s “The Red Lady II”</p>
<p>Various stages of human expression are now at the center of Fidjeland’s innovative style in art. In a work entitled “The Red Lady II”, the artist takes a snapshot of a human expression, and accentuates specific details through texture, color and shading. The artist’s creative decisions, particularly pertaining the color and shading, establishes a precise expression of emotion and tone. Texture is a key visual factor within the art as the observers learn about Red Lady’s character through her choice of color in lipstick, the smoothness of her skin, and the covering of an eye with her hair. </p>

<p>Eva Fidjeland’s “The Birdwoman X”</p>
<p>Each digital photograph establishes a character through expression and visual detail. The character in “Birdwoman X”, for example, possesses a different style and emotional nature than the character Red Lady. Birdwoman’s color and shading, relative to the character’s hair, eyes, skin and lips, establishes character through exquisite shadings of brown, red and green. Performing a comparative facial analysis of the two characters will result in the depiction of two unique forms of expression.</p>
<p>Fidjeland is pioneering a new style in visual art that uses digital technology to place emphasis on the expressions and details within creations. Her work is innovative for seamlessly collaborating visual and performing art with digital techniques. The artist is embodying the concept of collaborative art through her creative process and details present in her creations.</p>

While I was taking her to an appointment for Social Security she lost her balance and fell. She was holding onto my arm for support and fell on her butt. She did not hit her head. I took her to her cancer doctor and he scheduled an appointment for an MRI (brain scan) this coming Monday because she was having problems conjuring sentences, she had slurred speech as well as her equilibrium was off. I have been putting her in a wheel chair to get her places. The appointment they made was a whole week after the problems started. She was getting a little worse each day and finally yesterday she got so bad I could not understand her at all. I rushed her to the emergency room where they did an MRI and found several places in her brain that had swollen. She is now in Cleveland University Hospital. They did another scan and one theory is that her cancer may have moved to her brain...As of now this is just a theory and we are all hoping it is wrong! Please pray for her. She has been through so much this last year she could use all the support she can get!</span></p>Kiss my shiny metal @$$.tag:travelingwithintheworld.ning.com,2014-01-20:2185477:BlogPost:1957282014-01-20T03:03:41.000ZCjGuzzi.moawhttp://travelingwithintheworld.ning.com/profile/RevCJGuzzi

<p>Strength, Well all have it. Perhaps in various ways and proportions some are differently strengthened. But its not a lack of strength that makes us the dominant life form on earth. Sometimes the strength we need is the ability to do a task for the sake of the task. There are those who would see us as controllable entity's by our fears and seek to stop us from evolving into the entities we must be. Thrive thru intelligence. Sift and know those who Faust damned freely in his works.Are alive in our time. As we read what shapes us we grow. Read not only what you want but what speaks to you that should be read. Even if its foul. Then at least you have the strength to know its foul.</p>
<p> Strength is a way of moving thru life with dignity and grace and no fear of what might come. This is when you find out if you are an Ox or a Bird. Plodding steadily along in Harness accepting what is hand fed to us. Or Soaring thru the ether's of this place and many others like it. Free Power is in the Self to choose whats good for the self, That's strength. I believe that strength in the end is just another word for Being. In the end will you Be Fearful? Or strong in the knowledge that you are a Self. Take that step too as these paths we walk are what make us continue to grow towards our ultimate evolution.

<p>New to wearing a kilt? -Start watching women in short skirts (-well more than you already do...) to study how they move while sitting down to avoid exposing themselves. You can learn some tips by following their example. That sweep of the hands underneath your rear as you sit can not only prevent embarassment, but protect you from surprises like cold/hot surfaces -not to mention splinters.</p>
<p>Planning on wearing a belted plaid, sometimes called a "great kilt"? Don't listen to the people who try to tell you that you need 9 yards of 60-inch wide material. All you need is 4-6 yards depending on your size and the pattern of the tartan and how you pleat it. The idea of 9 yards of cloth comes from a misconception. The cloth for a belted plaid was only around 25 inches wide, depending on the size of the loom that was used to weave it. A 9-yard length of cloth was cut into two 4 1/2 yard lengths and then the selvedge (long) edges were stitched together, resulting in a piece of fabric only about four and a half yards long and 50 (or so) inches wide. For those people who claim that the phrase "The whole nine yards" refers to the belted plaid see this article <a href="http://tinyurl.com/26valx">http://tinyurl.com/26valx</a> for the numorous other supposed explanations of that phrase.</p>
<p>Chafing. Yes, there is a certain esprit de corps about being regimental, but on a hot, humid day even us skinny guys can suffer. So if you are out on a hot/humid day you are NOT any less manly a Scot if you save yourself some pain by wearing some bike shorts, or boxers. Briefs can help, but they don't prevent your inner thighs from rubbing. Another option is a little anti-perspirant where your thighs rub together to minimize irritation later in the day. To touch on a more delicate area... some men can get a little irritation depending on... the um... "angle of the dangle," so if you are going regimental, make sure you wear a shirt that is long enough to provide some lining between your "friend" and the wool.</p>
<p>If your sporran is full/heavy and you need to run or move quickly, move it off-center so it doesn't bounce against delicate parts.</p>
<p>If you are going to wear a sword, especially with a great kilt/belted plaid, use a baldrick that goes over your shoulder rather than belting the scabbard at your waist. If you are spending the day at a Renaissance fair or historical reenactment, the combined weight of your plaid, sporran, sword and any other accoutrements all hanging from a belt at your waist can become very uncomfortable on your hips after a couple hours.</p>
<p>Moms, please don't put your young boys into a full-sized great kilt/belted plaid. It can take a while to get used to wearing a great kilt, even for an adult. So if you want your son to enjoy participating in your hobby, or celebrating your heritage, make sure he is as comfortable as possible -let him wear a cut-down plaid made from a generic tartan as a great kilt that fits his size. Once he grows out of it you can use your son's "first kilt" as an arasaid, or shawl.</p>
<p>Oh and one of my favorite quotes regarding kilt wearing:</p>
<p>"The Highland dress is essentially a 'free' dress -- that is to say, a man's taste and circumstances must alone be permitted to decide when and where and how he should wear it... I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed." -- The Hon. Stuart Ruaidri Erskine, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Kilt & How to Wear It</span>, 1901.</p>
<p>The book <span style="text-decoration: underline;">So You're Going to Wear the Kilt</span> by J. Charles Thompson is a good reference on kilt wearing. See it on Amazon at <a href="http://tinyurl.com/5b9wye">http://tinyurl.com/5b9wye</a></p>

<p><span>While selling games from the past at Renaissance fairs and historial reenactment events I've often been asked why the traditional French suits of hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds have become the international standard. Recently I found a partial explanation...</span><br/> <br/> <span>During the 1400's Germany was a major producer of inexpensive playing cards. Although German printers experimented with a wide range of suit signs, cards using the primary traditional German suits of bells, acorns, leaves and hearts can still be found today. The early decks were produced through wood-block printing and then stencils were used to add colors. One of the problems with those symbols was that they needed black outlines and detail lines to make it clear what they represented. Also, many early German cards had little incidental illustrations on every card in the deck, thus all of the cards in a deck needed at least a two-step printing process.</span><br/> <br/> <span>French suit signs appeared about the 1480's, and because they were simple one-color shapes and included no additional illustrations, all the pip cards could printed quickly, with a couple of strokes of a stencil brush instead of having to print the black outlines, wait for the ink to dry, and then stenciling additional colors to fill in the details on every card. Only the 12 face cards in a French deck needed more than one step to be printed. This made French suited cards quicker and cheaper to print.</span><br/> <br/> <span>As a result, during the 1500's France became a major exporter of cards to England as well as various areas of continental Europe. By the 30 Years War (1618-1648) France had even taken over exporting cards to several countries that had previously used German-suited cards probably by virtue of the lower cost of production for French decks, as well as the fact that simpler designs made them easier to recognize quickly, especially in a dark tavern, or candle-lit room.</span></p>Psychic Petstag:travelingwithintheworld.ning.com,2012-05-05:2185477:BlogPost:1723482012-05-05T14:39:02.000ZHedgewitchhttp://travelingwithintheworld.ning.com/profile/Hedgewitch

<p><span class="font-size-4">I am not sure what passes for psychic in animals. I have a young service dog named Mali. I got her when she was 11 weeks old. I had a trainer come to my home to help with her training through advanced obedience and hand signs, since then I have done the rest of her training and Mali has passed all the rest of her tests with 100%. At this time, Mali is only 15 months old.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">Mali had only had her harness for a couple of months. We were very proud of her, as she had passed the adult temperament test earlier than any other Shiloh so far on record. One day we were walking into the bank. I had Mali on a loose lead rather than holding onto her harness, I held onto my husband's arm, Mali was at healing on my left side. We walked passed an elderly woman walking a very slow shuffling step. Suddenly Mali broke healing position just in time to catch the elderly woman who was about to fall. I did not see she was going to fall nor did my husband or we would have reached out for her, but Mali seemed to know it was going to happen and braced herself to take the brunt of the woman's weight. Mali was all of about 11 months old at the time. (She was just a baby really in the Shiloh dog world, as they do not mature until they are 3 years old.)</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">Two years ago Mali began doing something, which I found disturbing, but I could find no logical reason for it. She had never done this before. I had started to do research for the best way to break her of the new unexplained habit. She had started to jump up on me, though quiet gently and place her nose either in my chest or against my throat. Then not to long after, my spirit guides told me I was dying. The very next day, my daughter called me and told me her spirit guides told her the very same thing. I forgot about Mali's new seemingly bad habit and began to focus on this news.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">I found out my thyroid was flip flopping, back and forth from hyperactive to hypoactive at least every three weeks and possibly more often. This flip-flopping, had caused my heart to enlarge and could cause me to have a heart attack or stroke at any moment. I will not go into what I did to take care of my medical issues, but it was here I figured out what was going on with Mali. She had been telling me I had an issue with my heart and my thyroid all the time with her cold wet nose. As soon as I took care of my medical issue she stopped her jumping issues.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">Last month a woman came to visit me she has a service do who lets her know if she stops breathing at night and even sometimes when she is driving the car, as she just does not notice. We were sitting out back in my fenced in yard so her dog could be loose with my girls and play. My friend was on her way to a doctor appointment about an hour away and had stopped by for lunch and a visit. Mali just could not stop bothering my friend. I had to send her away many times.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">This was not like her, she loved to play with Blue, but we were so busy catching up I did not pay attention to the clues until Mali pointed it out with her cold noise. She came right up to my friend, put her cold noise right up against her left breast, and pushed in deep. At this point as I pulled Mali back and put her in a down stay, I looked at my friend and asked her directly why she was going to the doctor. She had a cyst at that exact spot on her breast. Since this time, Mali has alerted to sinus infections, and low blood sugar to both complete strangers; and me as well as, to getting very upset with me when I am out in the public and she knows I am in pain. Mali is a very vocal dog and her alerting is not always in a quiet manner. Perhaps this is a good thing as her lack of being quiet makes me leave and go home earlier than I might have.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">This past month we brought Mali to Sea World with us. She has been to many zoos and has always been very good. This time we went beneath the petting tank for the dolphins where there is floor to ceiling glass. I gave Mali the release command so she could have a chance to enjoy the dolphins. If you know anything about Shiloh Shepherds you know they have the intellect of a three year old human child. She was very curious but was behaving perfectly but I could tell she so wanted to see what was going on. When I released her she went right up to the glass and looked in, but there were no dolphins, they were all topside being fed.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">Just like a child she went back and forth looking eagerly. I spoke to her explaining what was going on and a woman looked at me and asked if I had a child with me or if I was talking to my dog. I told her, “My dog.” When the dolphins were finished eating one at a time they began swimming around the circular pool we were in, Mali was elated, she jumped up on her hind legs so she could see better. When she did they she caught the eye of a dolphin.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">This dolphin must have told another who told another and so forth because in a moment all the dolphins came over to say hello to Mali. Soon they were no longer swimming but the school of dolphins were all talking to Mali through the glass and she was taking right back to them. They stayed right there with her for a good fifteen minutes. All the people who thought I was crazy a few minutes before were now behind us taking pictures. The dolphin trainer who was in the room came over and said she had never seen such a thing before. Then the dolphins were finished and Mali was finished and it was time to leave. I wish I knew what they said to each other.</span></p>

<div><p>Imbolc, in the ancient Celtic calender was a very important celebration. Being midway between winter and summer, Imbolc is the renewing of the Earth, praying that the seeds will grow and making sure that the lambs and foals would be born. The most important part of Imbolc was the performing of rituals so that they had enough food until the summers months. By the time of February 1st, food was scarce and the animals needed sufficient fuel for their babies to be born. It is believed that the word Imbolc comes from the old Celtic word for ewe's milk (Oi-melc). Some say the day to perform the rituals is on the 1st of February, some say the second. Most people got around this by ensuing the <a href="http://nell-rose.hubpages.com/hub/Valentines-Day-Gifts-for-Ladies-2011" target="_blank">celebrations </a>went on for two days.</p>
<p>The lighting of fires was the most symbolic act, calling down the God's and elements to warm the earth and bring forth light and life. Fire was the symbol of the Holy day of Brigid, also known as Bride, Brigit, Brid, who was the Goddess of fire, healing and of course fertility. She was worshipped for century's before the Christian Priests came and took over the pagan land, religion and beliefs, turning them into their God's, Saints and Holy men and women. Hence Brigid, Goddess of Fire became the celebration of Candlemas when candles are lit to remember the purification of the Virgin Mary.</p>
<p><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">Imbolc then is a time to spring clean both your mental and physical abilities, to take stock of your life and make a fresh start. By planning ahead and planting new seeds (ideas) now for the future, who knows what new opportunities will grow from them. As the Sun grows stronger in the sky, so too should you look forward with optimism; and as your seeds (ideas) mature, so may you realise your hopes and dreams.</span></p>
<h4><span>Folklore</span></h4>
<h5>St Bride's Day</h5>
<p>In the Highlands of Scotland the revival of vegetation in spring used to be graphically represented on St. Bride’s Day, the first of February. Thus in the Hebrides “the mistress and servants of each family take a sheaf of oats, and dress it up in women’s apparel, put it in a large basket and lay a wooden club by it, and this they call Briid’s bed; and then the mistress and servants cry three times, ‘Briid is come, Briid is welcome.’ This they do just before going to bed, and when they rise in the morning they look among the ashes, expecting to see the impression of Briid’s club there; which if they do, they reckon it a true presage of a good crop and prosperous year, and the contrary they take as an ill omen.” The same custom is described by another witness thus: “Upon the night before Candlemas it is usual to make a bed with corn and hay, over which some blankets are laid, in a part of the house, near the door. When it is ready, a person goes out and repeats three times, ... ‘Bridget, Bridget, come in; thy bed is ready.’ One or more candles are left burning near it all night.”<br/>Sir James George Frazer, <i>The Golden Bough: A Study of Magic and Religion</i>, 1922, Chap. X.<br/>[<a href="http://www.witchology.com/contents/february/frazer_folklore.php" title="Folklore" target="_blank">Read more</a>]</p>
<h5>The Goddess Bride</h5>
<p>There are many legends and customs connected with Bride. Some of these seem inconsistent with one another, and with the character of the Saint of Kildare. These seeming inconsistencies arise from the fact that there were several Brides, Christian and pre-Christian, whose personalities have become confused in the course of centuries--the attributes of all being now popularly ascribed to one. Bride is said to preside over fire, over art, over all beauty, 'fo cheabhar agus fo chuan,' beneath the sky and beneath the sea. And man being the highest type of ideal beauty, Bride presides at his birth and dedicates him to the Trinity. She is the Mary and the Juno of the Gael. She is much spoken of in connection with Mary,--generally in relation to the birth of Christ. She was the aid-woman of the Mother of Nazareth in the lowly stable, and she is the aid-woman of the mothers of Uist in their humble homes.<br/>Alexander Carmichael, <i>Carmina Gadelica</i>, 1900, vol. I, p. 164.</p>
<h5>Weather Prognostication</h5>
<p>A windy Christmas and a calm Candlemas are signs of a good year.<br/>William Stuart, <i>Popular Superstitions of the Highlanders of Scotland</i>, 1823, p. 242. N.B., Stuart says that 'Candlemas' was the name given to the New Year.</p>
<p>One tradition still celebrated in Ireland on St. Brigid's Day is that of Brigid's Bed. Young unmarried girls of the village create a doll made of corn which symbolizes Brigid and call it the "Brideog".</p>
<div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PJ-0W9Z7E7w/Tx2oBRjGS2I/AAAAAAAADSU/4b7Z4R293so/s1600/brigid13.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PJ-0W9Z7E7w/Tx2oBRjGS2I/AAAAAAAADSU/4b7Z4R293so/s640/brigid13.jpg" width="426"/></a></div>

<div><div> </div>
<div>They adorn it with stones and ribbons and fashion a small bed for it to lie in. On St. Brigid's Eve they stay awake all night with the Brideog and on the following day the girls carry it from house to house throughout the village while the women staying at home give offerings of coins or snacks.</div>

<p>On the eve of Brigid's Feast Day, people would leave out a piece of cloth to be blessed by the Goddess/Saint as she passed by, which would be used to heal those giving birth in the coming year.

<p>Hello I am Black Angus of Valhalla's Anvil!</p>
<p>I am a blacksmith/bladesmith, jeweler and leather worker in the Medieval, Fantasy, Scifi and Steampunk Genres. I have been in business since 1999. As of late the economy and my personal life has stood in the way of my business. I am trying to change this, but I need help. Below is my plan for what I will do if I can raise enough money...</p>
<p>First I need to get some equipment and supplies in order to keep making things, design new pieces and lower the prices of my products. If I could buy metals and leather in bulk I would be able to get it cheaper, thus passing that savings on to my buyers.</p>
<p>Everywhere I go these days I see made in China or Pakistan or some other 3rd world country. It is far and few between to find things Made in America and even harder still to find things made here that are at reasonable prices. At every Faire or Convention there is a plethora of merchants selling import knives, swords, jewelry and leather work. Because these merchants are not actually making the products they sell they can sell it at 4-5 times what they paid for it and still be the cheapest at the event. I want to change that! I want to make quality products, handmade here in America that will at least come close to the prices of the imports. The only way I can do this is to get better tools and buy bulk supplies.</p>
<p>I also want to show the world what I can do. To this point I have yet to push the limits of my abilities and make my own Masterpieces. I have plans for things I can make in every element that I work in that will not only push my own boundaries but also teach me something new in the process. As of yet I have not had the funding to bring these things to life, so to speak.</p>
<p>Lastly, I need to get a vehicle that can haul all of my merchandise to events. I have a Ford E-350 diesel van sitting in my driveway but it needs a lot of work before it is able to be road worthy. I am not a mechanic but if I can get the capitol to fix it up I can figure it out.</p>
<p>Your donations will be used to get my business back on track and to make me a royal thorn in the side for import dealers. You do not need to donate a whole bunch, if I can get $2 - $5 from all of those who are willing to help I can get the things I need to give this small American business a fighting chance in this import saturated society.</p>

<p>Greetings and well met. I would like to thank all who gave me a moment of time to send me greetings on the event of my mortal birth. Tis a wonderful feeling I have received from you (and I do so hope all will see these words-if someone could let me know that indeed they were received it would be appreciated. On the other hand, if these letters are not given to those intended..I will let you know of my gratitude in some way).</p>
<p>Today was a day rich in Gifts of considerations and Love that were needed more than the most precious of stones. One will not take the time now to describe all; but it was a day where my heart and spirit were heard and answered, many, many times.</p>
<p>As for "gifts of the material", I purchase a pair of most wonderful black , knee high, rubber "mud" boots. And now Dog Sadie and I are eager to adventure in to wetland and to Walk Streams. (Dog, not know this yet, but likes boots and lifts wonderful ears at intent! )She does not share my love of things swampy and muddy and wet and rich with beauty and life. She, in fact, takes the visit of a "bug" as a personal affront, dropping to ground and looking wildly about, snapping at air and leaping after what would appear to others as "nothing". Then, when sure pest has passed or perhaps even better, eaten, she will once more continue on her way. I try to explain she is a dog bred to farm and herd the flock and when we find ourselves with a flock to follow, there will be an abundance of bugs and sheep will not wait while dog bravely fights each and every one! Ah, sometimes, understanding arrives with the doing of a thing.</p>
<p>On Dog and Day, before I return to my rest...tonight we were visited once again (thrice now), by wonderful Toad Friend. How long he must "hop" to reach us! Sadie finds him on sidewalk in front of our home, disguised most cleverly as a bent and blown leaf. She is delighted with visitor, as am I. I pick him up and see, yes, is same Toad. He acts as tho quite dead, eyes glazed as I caution him that it is near time to dig a deep hole in the mud and settle for Winter's Sleep. "You are "fat" enough!" I tell him. And he responds with a slow and lazy blink, a brief view of golden eye. And so, I hold him to my warm body and he snuggles in as Dog and I begin own walk thru field to forest edge, where still sing Toad's kin and neighbours. We place him carefully on the ground and wish him safe journey, for the Traveler he is, is good wish! I am thinking, if he does return again, we will take him in for the Season grows cold and soon the Hunters will return to the wood.</p>
<p>Love and May You feel the Peace of Love that comes from All. I pray your days are blessed and contain some wonder. Also, I pray thee safe in your travels. The World, as we all, is changing, birth while a time of great Joy and Celebration, is also a time, briefly, of danger. Christine, Sadie, and from somewhere (hopefully in the Wood) A most determined Toad!</p>
