PaganFM! Almanac for the week of September 14, 2008
It's the 258th day of the year.
WX
Today is September 14th. It's the Birthday of Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa who was
born on
this day in 1486. Agrippa was an early-modern occultist who has had a great
influence on
modern occultism. He was a physician, as theologian and a soldier. Perhaps his
greatest
contribution to occultism was his De occulta philosophia libri tres, or
if my Latin hasn't
failed me, Of Occult Philosophy in Three Books.

Ongoing, weekly:
Prayer Requests
Every Sunday from: 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Location: Your own home
You can go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEPagansAndWitches
and create a request post stating your reason for healing energy and/or prayers
sent your way. Prayer requests can be asked for other than healing and for
other than yourself.
A white candle will be lit for you on Sunday unless you request another color
to be used. This is a group event so the more people involved the better. Feel
free to join sending out energy. Always keep in mind that requests are always
done for the highest good of all concerned. This may mean the outcome may be
different than we hope for. The spiritual healing work we do is designed to
work in harmony with other treatment modalities, not as a subsitute.
