Why do casinos try and keep us?
Casinos are trying to keep our senses, which react to the outside world, at bay. No windows, which means no artificial light, no clocks in order to make us feel that we are clock watching, and bright lights keep people from feeling hurried or pressured. In any casino, the immutable fact is the longer that someone stays, the more they will spend. So, everything that a casino does is designed to keep you in the building longer. It really is that simple. Now, the features and the planning that go into knowing HOW to keep you in the building is the psychology of casinos.

How do casinos keep us inside?
In the previous paragraph we discussed some of the tactics on a surface level. Now lets delve a little deeper to find out how casinos are able to, more or less, trick us into staying longer. We talked about no clocks, no natural light, and bright artificial lights. The biggest psychological ploy at work is the addiction of almost winning. That’s right, almost winning. Something causes the endorphins and adrenaline to surge when they see themselves close to winning anything. When your favorite slot machine almost lines up straight 7s you feel euphoric. In a world where many people feel trapped by their daily routine, the thrill of the hunt, or win, keeps the money flowing. Studies show that even winning a small amount of money on a slot machine is less of a thrill than almost winning the big one. Many people think that casinos design their games and machines to produce winners just in the nick of time. The truth is that casinos have developed a pattern of almost winning a game big time will keep people throwing money more than the occasional small victory.

What does your skin need? Three letters… TLC.

Less is More

If your lawn was only 2 square yards, just how many chemicals and how much equipment do you think you’d need to care for it. Next to nothing. The ordinary individual has exposed skin totaling only 2 square yards. Yet our medicine cabinets are full of creams and lotions; exfoliates and oils; cleansers and masks; the list goes on and on. In truth, you may be doing more damage to your skin than helping it with all of those skin care products. Two or three choice products is really all that you require on a daily basis.

Here’s Your Check Off List

Empty out your cabinets and replace your skin care products with the following: sunscreen is number one on your list, don’t even dream about going outside without it; a soap free cleanser used with mildly warm water is all you need with which to clean your skin daily.

Something you don’t find in your medicine cabinet can be taken orally: antioxidants in fruits and seafood (omegas 6 and 3 are in some seafoods, too) as well as vitamins C and E in supplements or food; and don’t forget to hydrate on the inside as well as on the outside. Drink water!

Think Of It This Way

If you are a lazy, hopeless, careless person, you may go around with wrinkly clothes, uncombed hair and a sloppy appearance – which will make you feel even more hopeless and lower your self-esteem. Yet, if who you are (or who you choose to become is) someone who cares about how you look and is capable of making good choices, your appearance will reflect these positive traits as well. You have a choice in every aspect of your appearance – whether you go out into the world clean and smelling nice or dirty and unkempt; whether you wear clothes that fit you well or look too big or small; whether you have combed hair with no split-ends or a tangled style that resembles a bird’s nest; or whether you choose to take care of your skin and keep it looking youthful and glowing or allow yourself to look old before your time. Show the world that you are capable of making good choices by choosing the best options for your appearance – and soon you will also take pride in yourself.

Merry Meet!

It’s also the time to celebrate the symbol that is the god Lugh.  Lugh is the god of crafts and skills.  Now is the time you begin to see craft fairs where skilled craftsman brought their wares to be sold.  In earlier times, guilds would set up their workers in booths around castle grounds and tie brightly color ribbons on the tents.

Lugh is also considered by some to be a patron of bards and magicians.  This is a good time to begin a new skill, learn or get better at a musical instrument, write a story or poem, and maybe try canning vegetables or fruits.

This is the season when our agrarian ancestors began to prepare for winter.  Preserving the foods and baking breads for the coming famine of winter.  A farmer would not harvest any of his grain until Lammas.  On that day, they would gather the grain into sheaves and that evening the women would bake the first loaves of bread.  Early Christians would have the loaves blessed to keep their family from starving

Today, many still bake bread and muffins, can vegetables and fruits, and prepare themselves for the coming winter not just physically, but mentally and spiritually as well.   The loaves are still blessed.

Many celebrate the day by playing games or participating in sports events to celebrate the strength and good health the abundant harvest brings.  Grain gods and goddesses figure in the celebrations as well.  It’s also a time to “Harvest” any workings you’ve sent out over the year, especially more complicated ones such as revealing your spirituality to friends and family.

Throughout the year, you’ve hinted at who you are, maybe told a few trusted friends and family, and perhaps even dared to reveal it to a stranger.  Whether you’ve realized it or not, those are workings you’ve sent out.  You’ve informed the universe with thought and deed, what type of life you want.

Now you need to consider if the time is right to walk out of the broom closet.

Depending on how your conversations have gone with others, now is the time to decide whether or not you will live your faith fully.  Beltane, a time when many relationships are begun, will be back around again.  So the seeds you planted earlier this year are most likely beginning to bear fruit.  Those you’ve told have had time to analyze their feelings and will either stand by you or not.  That is something no one knows until it actually happens, until it ripens.

As you can tell, I’m using a lot of farming and harvest imagery.  It’s appropriate for this time of year and will help you with your next exercise.

If the reactions have been positive, congratulations!  The energy of the universe, of the creator(s), shows you are on the right track.  Use this time to harvest those new aspects of your relationships.  Think about how it makes you feel not to hide who you are and take note of what you did to achieve this.  That way you’ll be able to plan for a bumper crop next year.

The Goddess Eoster and Her Chosen Animal

Merry Meet!

It’s said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If that’s the case, then we Pagans get more flattery from the major religions than you can shake a stick at! Even when they actually shake sticks at us to chase us a way.

Let’s take the most recent holiday, Easter. For Christians, it symbolizes renew, resurrection, new beginnings, and the like. The egg symbolizes new life and the rabbit…

The rabbit???

This was always the question I asked as a child. What the heck does the rabbit have to do with eggs? I’d get vague answers or a change of subject in most cases. When I was older, people told me the rabbit symbolized life because of it’s fertility.

Yep. I could see that. Maybe the poster child for population overgrowth. There may, however, be another explanation. Christians copied or took over these symbols from Pagans. For many of us, the egg does symbolize life and, boy oh boy, does the rabbit symbolize fertility!

But there is still another reason. One of our myths tells of the Goddess Eoster, calling all of the animals together. She wants them to search the world to find the greatest gift for her. The one gift that best symbolizes life. The animal that brings her the one most worthy will be her chosen animal.

The animals scurry away only to return with elaborate gifts, each one more fantastic and ornate than the next. The Goddess despairs of every finding a truly remarkable and worthy gift capable of expressing how wondrous a life they live.

Just as she begins to weep, a small bedraggled mess comes limping up to her. As it nears, she can see that it is the rabbit covered in mud and footsore. The bunny pulls an object from a tiny sack and places it before the Goddess. All the animals burst into laughter. The bunny has a plain, small egg.

“Nothing remarkable about an egg,” the birds caw. “We can make those any time we want!”

“Nope, not a thing,” agree the snake and the turtle. Soon all the animals take turns telling the shamed rabbit how bad a gift he has.

As he hangs his head, the Goddess whispers a single word that rolls across the world like rumbling thunder.

“Silence!”

The animals back up a bit, not understanding. They look up and see tears in the Goddess’ eyes. They watch her reach down and gently take the egg from where Rabbit has left it. Then she bows to him.

“Rabbit is the only one of you who understands the meaning of life,” the Goddess’ quiet words reach every ear. “It is fragile and delicate. It can be crushed in an instant, yet it gives its bounty as it may. From life we have beautiful flowers, abundant food, and joyous companions.”

With that she touches Rabbit, and he is clean. His fur fluffs up. His feet no longer ache. He takes his place at the Goddess’ side as her chosen animal.

Since then, Pagans have celebrated life with the symbols that nature gives us. The egg and the rabbit. Flowers and food. So next time you see the Easter Bunny, congratulate him on being so clever!

To think about:

Sit in a quiet place and try to imagine the symbols of life. What do they have to teach you? How can you share this with others?

Simple Spring Ritual:

Boil an egg. You may want to invite friends and family over to share in your ritual, boil an egg for each person.

Tell the story of the Goddess Eoster. Make a small blessing of thanks to the earth and her animals for the food she provides. Pour out some water. Peel the egg and eat it, being sure to keep the shells. Crush the shells and spread them around the plants to help feed them.

By sharing some of your rituals with those who love you, you build a bridge of understanding that they can cross to get to where you are. With understanding comes acceptance. And this is just one of the ways you can help your non-Pagan friends and family understand the reverence you hold for nature and all the things the Creator gives us.

Merry Meet!

Last time we talked about the “An it harm none, do as ye will” law that most Pagans follow. I’ve said before that this is the ultimate responsibility law. By my actions or inactions I may not cause harm to others or myself. As a Pagan, you really have to weigh the consequences of your actions and how they affect not only the people around you, but you yourself.

We’re going to look at a few of the ways that Christians and Pagans are alike. So many of us focus on our differences and forget the things to celebrate that make us part of the whole of humanity. We all love, grieve, laugh, cry, the whole spectrum of human emotion is shared by the average human. They can also be gateways into the conversation you’ve wanted to have with your friend, spouse, parents, “insert your person here;” whoever you’ve been contemplating sharing your spirituality.

As a former Christian, I was a bit surprised that most of my still-Christian friends think I’ve gone to the “Dark Side.” They don’t realize how similar our beliefs are. Our love of community. Our commitment to service. The ties that bind a community together weave through the Pagan community just as they do the Christian or Muslim or Jewish.

Here is my take on how Christians and Pagans share many similarities. I’m paraphrasing from the Christian Bible. First, the one I’ve spoken of before. An it harm none, do as ye will. This nearly mirrors the Bibles “Golden Rule” of Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Likewise, On Earth as it is in Heaven correlates perfectly with As Above so Below. Both of these sayings speak to harmonizing our spiritual life, our inside self, with the outside. Jesus of Nazareth taught tolerance, peace, love, and equality for all. Pagans believe this, too.

Take time over the next week or so to read some religious texts. Find passages in them that speak to the similarities in their belief system and yours. Read with as open a mind as you want others to find in your own words. Write down some of these passages as reference points to anyone who asks about your spirituality. Think about ways that Pagans and those of other religious backgrounds can work together.

Sit down for a few minutes every day to breathe deeply, relax, and reflect on what you’ve found that day. You’ll be surprised at how quickly the chasm you thought divided you from everyone else begins to close. Those reflections will be the gateways you can use to speak to others. To help them understand and alleviate their fear about what they think they know.

Don’t be afraid to question yourself, too. By asking questions, we learn who we are and what we believe. We also build a solid foundation from which to show others our faith.
