paganisim , solstices and natural death

A couple of sites to tell you more about the actual solstices.

This time of the year the solstices is usually for me a very busy time most years as I normally go to Avbury for the solstices night of the 20th-21st June each year and drive back in time from Wiltshire to have an open house at my home for my friends who celebrate the time of the dream the start of the new year the second new year of the old ancestral calender.

 from this point of the year we of the old are preparing for the winter making all our plans as store against the time of need celebrating the the sun and its life giving energy but aware of the slow inevitable decline into the

• DARKNESS OF THE LONGEST NIGHT FOR AS WE HAVE A PEEK OF LIGHT SO WE
•  MUST HAVE A THE BALANCE THE PEEK OF THE DARK TIMES THE LONGEST NIGHT.
•  
•  THE LINK IS THE HUMAN SPIRIT WITHIN AS OUR SPIRT REFLECTS THE PASSAGE
• OF THE YEAR AND THE SHADES OF BRIGHT LIGHT AND THE OF OUR MORE
• SOMBER MOODS
•  
•  IF WE ARE BALANCED WE SURIVE THE DARK AND OUT SPIRIT SHINES LIKE A
•  CANDEL THROUGH THE DARK OF NIGHT AND THE WINTER
•  

This year my balancer has been upset by the fact that since the winter solstice last year my mother has become immobile due to osteoporosis and she is gradually declining and will eventually die. The most natural of processes some thing we all must face and understand

 the inevitability of the process I f you are born you will one day die. This is a fundamental

truth and although the media and the the medical profession try as much as possible to

make us believe that we will live for ever it is unwise and foolish for us to think that there

is any truth in the wish for immortality.

 I have there for not  done the things That I would normally do as I have been doing what

I can to look after my Mum and Dad a strange state of affairs where I am now doing for

my mum what she did for me when I was a helpless baby.

Also realising that the only reason that Mum is still here is that every time she gets to the

point of death she is rushed into hospital and once again she is revived and that this is not

the that she is put on life support but that because she is given an enema and the

painkillers are changed from the oramorph the doctor prescribed and a drip is put in and

her dehydration is addressed by a saline drip she comes home from the hospital to be

hoisted around the house in the mental hoist and my father struggles along with me and

the home care twice a day costing him £500 per month till his savings run out then social

services will take over.

 

Now I wonder with my beliefs of paganism. Is this right ? It is certainly not what I want to

happen to me.

I don’t believe I should be here now I am however here because the national health had

saved my life on four occasions through the course of my life if the national health had

not interfered or i had lived in a society where the level of finance that I had or prior to my

 own earnings my parents would’ve been dead long before now as I have been subject to

life threatening conditions at four occasions in my life and they would have killed me long

before this as I have indeed watched all of my family undergo procedures that would not

have been unavailable should we have been born in another society.

Now I have no real faith in the medical profession I have instead turned to herbal remedies

and acupuncture and reflexology as I have more faith in the correctness of that balance in

life than I have in the unbalanced nature of the capitalist medical profession.

The natural death centre is more in keeping with what I feel about the method of life and

death check out their web site.
