Bill: Well, I don't know the exact titles. One is on Ostara << Is it the one by

Edain McCoy? You'll find Ostara rituals, spells, etc. in it. She writes great

stuff.

and another is on American Folk Magic.<< The book by Silver RavenWolf - another

famous great lady (Pennsylvania). This book was previously titled "HexCraft:

Dutch Country Pow-Wow Magick".

I'm not really into 'magic' per se, but I do like the 'hex sign' information in

there. I have a beautiful 'hex sign' in my home which gives the traditional

Wilkom greeting!<<< You'll find quite a few variations of hex signs (Arts and

Crafts of Pennsylvanian Germans) in "American Folk Magic".My main love is the

cycle of the year. Two things I love to study: cosmologies and cycles of the

year. << For cycles of the year, try this link:

Ganesh Chaturthi comes near this time of year which is near the observance of

Mabon (?????). << Mabon (Fall Equinox) in the northern hemisphere) is on

September 22.

I do know alot about Native American, <<<<< Can ya please tell me about the

Hopi Ceremony (Marawu??)? Is there a specific date it falls on every year (say

on October 3)?Bill: You lost me here w "M.F.M.". << When you mentioned

"instalment", I took it to mean the stuff that was supposed to be forthcoming

later. See page 10 of the publication and you'll know what I meant by "M.F.M."

 

Bill: SY, Thanks for your enthusiastic response to my letter.<< Great pleasure.

By the way, I have had some interesting Ganesh incidents lately. My friend

Kumar had gone to India and brought about a dozen Ganesh images back for me,

which was odd, since I never asked for them.<< Maybe Ganesh wanted to come to

the U.S. in his hands, to you.

So, I had a house full of blessings and prayers Kumar brought back w him. Also,

at work, I had worn a medal he had brought me which had Ganesh on it. This

enabled me to speak to a few people about Ganesh. Also, we had been praying

before my art show about a difficulty we were having in actually hanging the

work. It was a physical problem. Well, I had been keeping all these prayers in

my mind and just sort of giving the whole art show to God. Well, when the time

came to hang the show the problem simply resolved itself and what would have

turned out as a very weak show visually, became powerful and striking with alot

of visual impact. I believe that when we pray, obstacles are removed. I am happy

for this.<< Thanks for sharing your experiences. You are indeed blessed. The

Lord is sure looking over you and booting all obstacles out of the way!

Jai Shri Ganeshaya!
