A year-round Santa
I would probably give that to Linus Torvalds for inventing, writing and working on the Linux kernel. He gave it away to the world. There are quite a few *nixes available for download.
Male Witches
"Wicca" is the masculine form of a celtic word by the same name. "Wicce" is the feminine form of the same word. It is pronounced "witch". It comes from "wise" or "craft of the wise". Wiccans for the most part (the ones who do not go bad since they are called "warlocks") have the ancient wisdom of herbs that heal the bodies that heal and spells that heal the spirits and souls of people. There is a law in the Craft that one cannot heal one without their permission. Wiccans do no harm and if they do, they get it threefold. At any rate, hexing is wrong, and a witch who hexes cannot heal.
Folk magic and malificara
Folk magic is not considered "black" magic. Malificara is. Helaing magic is right with ethical Wiccans. Like I said in my last post, not all witches and wizards are good. Some go bad. Some go bad from inexperience, but learn from threefold return. Some never learn.

Wiccans
Not all Wiccans and Witches are good. Some go bad. Some get power crazy. Some are almost perfect as a harm-none Witch. I was attacked badly magically by a male witch who was harming me badly, and sense he killed a dog. I was once a witch, I was a new ager, and was once a Christian, but now I am so mentally ill that I am an agnostic. I listen to punk and metal, but am not a satanist.

Speak out against sea lion killings
Speak Out Against Sea Lion Killing in Portland on Wednesday, November 10
author: Matt Rosselle-mail: matt@idausa.org
Please join In Defense of Animals at a demonstration at the Doubletree, Lloyd Center location in Portland, Oregon where the Pinniped-Fishery Interaction Task Force is meeting, to voice your outrage over the continued state-sanctioned killing of California sea lions. This misguided, unethical program is targeting, branding, and killing native sea lions in the Columbia River for simply eating fish. In the past three years this program has been responsible for the removal of 40 sea lions and the government's own data suggests that the program is not working to protect endangered Spring salmon runs, but the killing continues. sea_lion
What: Demonstration to oppose sea lion killing
When: Wednesday, November, 10, 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Where: Doubletree Lloyd Center, 1000 NE Multnomah St., Portland, Ore. (http://bit.ly/cXddR6)
For more information call Matt at IDA, 503-249-9996 or e-mail matt[at]idausa[dot]org.
help us!
This Pinniped-Fishery Interaction Task Force is charged with the task of reviewing the data collected over the past three years, and making a recommendation of whether to continue, change, or end the program. Despite the fact that, as predicted, new sea lions are just coming to take the place of the sea lions they kill, and the sea lions are only eating a tiny percentage of the salmon run below the Bonneville Dam, a majority of the Task Force has already voted to recommend that the federal government should loosen its criteria for putting sea lions on the "hit list," meaning that even more sea lions will be killed!
Please join us this Wednesday at 11:30 a.m., the sea lions need your support! Signs will be provided, just come and bring your friends and family!phone: 503-249-9996
The word "Warlock"
To most people, and to those who have watched Bewitched, It is a male witch. To people in Wicca, the word means "traitor". It is also a verb that means "to betray in the Craft". It is sad to say that I warlocked two Wiccans here in my blog. They were from a coven I was in a long time ago. I thought they were practicing black negative magic against me. It is regretable that I have done this.

Social Movements Assembly Declaration. IV Americas Social Forum, Asuncion, August 15, 2010
Our America is coming!
Nane Amérika TeeOnemongu' Ehína!
Social movements present at the IV Americas Social Forum, in Asuncion, Paraguay, we reaffirm our solidarity and commitment to Paraguayan people to the urgent need for progress in their process to sovereignty recovery over its territory, goods common, energy resources, land reform and democratization.
We are in a continent where in recent decades there has been a reunion between social movements and indigenous movements, which from their ancestral knowledge and historical memory radically question the capitalist system. In recent years, there were renewed social struggles led to the neoliberal governments departure and emerge of governments that have implemented positive reforms such as economy vital sectors nationalization and constitutional redefinition.
But right forces on the continent are trying to stop any changes process. They operate from their political, economic, mass media, judiciary places which adds a new imperialism offensive - even military - supporting them. Since last Americas Social Forum held in Guatemala in 2008 we witnessed the Honduras' coup, the U.S. military presence increased throughout the Americas. Military bases installation agreements proliferate, the Fourth Fleet is operating in our seas. This is a systematic effort to destabilize democracy in the continent social movements are increasingly suppressed and criminalized.
We denounce the illegitimacy of the de facto president of Honduras Porfirio Lobo, at the same time we recognize its people's resistance and support their struggle for constitutional re-foundation to establish a true democracy.
We support the Haitian people's struggle they do not need a military intervention and economic occupation to rebuild. On the contrary, we demand that the country's sovereignty be respected and other countries to make a joint cooperation in the fields of health, education, agriculture and those that are required. We demand the unconditional cancellation of debt and reject llegitimate debt new process.
Free trade continues in all its variants. This is the central feature of the European Union strategy, the other neo-colonial power that operates in Latin America and Caribbean. The International Financial Institutions are implementing these strategies -World Bank, International Monetary Fund, regional 'development' banks and private banking groups- they are creating new and huge debts with direct impacts to people and nature.
All these threats are linked to an excluding and predatory single primary export development model that impact on many territories that expelled populations to uproot and migration. The current systemic crisis shows capitalist model depletion - and its power centers: banks, TNCs and G8 governments. Today it attempts to draw the whole world to a limit and to a visible nuclear war threat by the U.S.
Natural resources protection has become popular organizations and social movements struggle agenda against devouring capitalism. A common front is being reinforced against nature destruction and "market environmentalism" and "green capitalism" are false solutions such as carbon markets, biofuels, GMOs and geoengineering which are promoted from principal power centers because of climate change.
We denounce Northern geopolitical countries governments rather than confront serious climate change impacts they are seeking to evade responsibility and to develop new carbon market mechanisms to make more profit, such as "Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation "(REDD), which promotes forests commercialization and privatization and loss of sovereignty over territories. We reject such arrangements.
We demand these countries to reduce their greenhouse gases emissions and to create an International Court of Climate Justice. We reaffirm the Cochabamba Agreement proposals from the World Peoples Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth, which recognize that real solutions are climate justice, food sovereignty, land recovery and agrarian reform, peasant agriculture and integration and solidarity among peoples against global warming.
Social movements are facing a historical opportunity to develop initiatives at international level. Our people struggles will allow us to move towards the ybymarane'y (land without evil) and realize the tekoporá (good living). We are committed to reinforcing our fight for our people, food, and energy sovereignty and women sovereignty over their bodies and their lives, and sexual diversity recognition.
We build alternatives that are based on anti-capitalism, anti-patriarchalism, anti-colonialism and anti-racist diverse perspectives, while we go in search of a new paradigm focused on equality, good living, sovereignty and integration based on solidarity principle among peoples.
