"Make every day a celebration to
Earth and yourself by keeping in your mind and heart that Earth
is like you."
Defending Mother Earth
no compromise!
June 14th 2007
Ok! Making and maintaining a blog, in English, is more
difficult than I thought. lol With school, work,
mundane and magickal life...it is not easy! Well,
sometimes I'd like to write, but time is short and the
dogs and the garden is keeping me very busy.
I think I will do some change here. I won't write any
"blog-like" every day (as I would), but I will create
here something more like a website. A kind of "how-to"
website. A section with helpful links is in the making
right now. Hope I will have the time to publish it
this week or the next. I think that this kind of
website will be more helpful than a blog.
A "program" to help people doing the transition is
also in the process. It is more in "gestation" for
now, but there's progress. Hope that this little thing
will be helpful and that people will share it with
their friends and family. Maybe there will be a book!
Who knows what's in the Future?
Well, those are the news! Saint-Jean-Baptiste is
coming, and with it...SUMMER!
In fact...wile I'm thinking about it...are you ready
for Summer?
We will talk about it later. For now...enjoy the good
days in front of you!
It is now time to
act!
Why did I chose to create this pseudo-blog? Well...let put it
right...Dana, Gaia, Mother Earth, is greatly sick and in pain.
Everyday, in the news, we are talking about the Earth
and
what we can do to help (well...what we should do but still
not
doing). And this is happening, right now, for real. Things
changed, and not in the right ways.
But it is
not too late to do something and wake up, to shake this little
planet of ours and take the road of good change. To do
better. To be real and true to what we are. To be good citizen of the
Earth.
By
creating this pseudo-blog, I'm doing my part, my little mission of
mine, shaking people around to push them in the green road and
change their habits. But yes, it is difficult. I am doing this change, a drop at
the time, by baby steps. I'm
learning to be green and free from chemicals.
Yes, changing. Taking that green wild road. No chemicals, no
useless plastic bags, no lights on in the middle of the night when it
is absolutely unnecessary, no stuffs in garbages that could be
recycled, buying products with the leaping bunny on it,
eating organic as much as I can find them, buying organic home
products...I'm sure you know what I'm talking about!
I'm working on all three levels; mind, body and spirit. For
Dana, for me, for all living creatures.
What I am doing here, with this kind of website, is sharing
my experiences with you, dear readers. I will take the road to
change, start my mission, and share. I'm doing it since I'm
12! Ok, I'm still young, in my late 20s, but I'm doing
it and I'm very serious with it. You can do the same, of
course. This is a Quest, after all. I'm learning to be green, to be
free, to be with Dana, and to be serious.
So, join me, and
change your habits! This is important!
If you are reading this first article, this webpage, it
is because you are interested on the subject, maybe you are
willing to do something. Great. This is the first step.
If you found this website, it is because you
understand that something is wrong with Dana, with Gaia, and because
you understand that we, humans, are not doing things right (and
mostly industries and governments). So, you wake up, get yourself
green gloves and
seek that road to change. Bravo, this is the second step!
But it is not easy. I know, I am in it too. There is so
much to do, to learn, to plan...Any "Green
Warriors" would say so. But by taking 2007 by the throat
like I chose to this month (and year!), you will learn with me new things,
learn the "lessons" that I'm taking by myself (if I can call
it "lessons"). Well...I so deeply wish you will learn
something here.
This will not happen as a miracle in a week or so, of
course. I still have so much to do and learn. And maybe you
will share with me your experiences and/or try some
on your side.
Dana need our help, just as we need Her.
So, join in, surf around, learn, explore, experience...and
ACT! Become the Green Warrior that is deep inside of you!
My webpage will be huge.
In time
(crossing my fingers!).
Changing habits is not easy, though. This is why I'm
choosing to have
babysteps. Like I said earlier, I'm working on all three
levels (check the Themes section). So, keep coming back. And keep working! Keep acting!
Are you ready to act?
I know I am!

Inspired by
Druidry, Anthroposophy and the Goddess Tradition, deeply linked to
simple Eco-feminism and traditional herbology, I will
share a new way of life that is friendly to Dana, Gaia. Can
we heal the Earth? Good question...but for sure, we can heal
the Self linked to Dana.
"Most of us sense that the Earth is more than a
sphere of rock with a thin layer of air, ocean and
life covering the surface. We feel that we belong here
as if this planet were indeed our home. (...) As time passed this warm relationship faded
and was replaced by the frigidity of the schoolmen.
The life sciences, no longer concerned with life, fell
to classifying dead things and even to vivisection.
"Dana" (Gaia or Ge) was stolen from theology to become
no more the root from which the disciplines of
geography and geology were named. Now at last there
are signs of a change."

Dana existed before everything; she
existed before Time. Dana, the eternal, prehistoric Earth
Mother goddess (known by the Tuatha de Danann), is fertility incarnated,
a nurturing and protecting mother, mysterious and
powerful, yet gentle and as gracious as a swan. She is life,
pure energy, nurturing mother; everything that lives,
breathing or not, flows with Her, toward Her, through Her. She is the
Earth, the Sea and the Sky, She is Life, She is spirit. All
that is living eventually return to Her, into Her
darkness, Her fertile Earth. We are born from Her, and
reborn, once again, from Her.
She is a
reminder that we must ground ourselves in the reality of
Nature and incorporate all sides of ourselves, be they
pleasant or unpleasant, light or dark.
