The Encounter for September 2016 mvuuc monte vista 9185 Monte Vista Avenue Unitarian Universalist Congregation Montclair, CA 91763 A Welcoming Congregation (909) 626-0520 Reverend Susan Manker-Seale, Interim Minister Reverend Ellen Livingston, Minister Emerita The Encounter September 2016 Summary of Sunday Services Rev. Susan’s Message September 4: Living In The Middle/Muddle Pages 2 - 3 Speaker: Dick Olson In the late nineteenth century, the self-educated American philosopher, President’s Message/Board Elbert Hubbard, argued that, "Life is a paradox. Every truth has its Briefing counterpart which contradicts it; and every philosopher supplies the logic Pages 3 - 4 for his own undoing." Hubbard was right. I am told by B.F. Skinner and his fellow travelers that everything I think and do is determined by my biology and my environment; yet I am told by my Free Thinking friends that they RE-flections can and should be free to choose their own beliefs and commitments. Pages 5 - 6 Some tell me to use my head, while others say listen to your heart or your gut. Some say persevere against the odds, while others say don't throw Camp de Benneville good money after bad. How do we live satisfactorily in a world filled with Page 6 massive contradictions? UUPCC Pilgrimage to the September 11: Multi-Generational Water Communion: Sharing Sacred Philippines – 2017 Spaces Page 6 - 7 Speakers: Amy Randall and Rev. Susan Manker-Seale Bring water from your summer travels or favorite, precious places, and we Wheel of the Year will share briefly the importance of sacred spaces in our lives. Pages 7 - 8 Metaphorical water works, as well (as in from the kitchen sink). We will gather in multi-generational community for the entire service. Calendar Page 9 September 18: Dreams About Flying Speakers: Rita Salama, Laura Mulroy, Maribel Dana, and Rev. Susan General Information Manker-Seale Page 10 Who are we as Unitarian Universalists here in Montclair/Claremont? Who might we become? We’ll explore the importance of having both a mission and a vision to guide us with passion as we dream about flying. The service today will be followed by a congregational presentation by our Land Use Task Force, as well as a fun visioning exercise on dreaming up a slogan. September 25: Reflections On Saving The World Speaker: Rev. Susan Manker-Seale This past week PBS aired a documentary on the Rev. Waitstill and Martha Sharp, a Unitarian minister and his wife who made a huge sacrifice and put their own lives in danger to save others during World War II (watch Defying the Nazis, Tuesday, September 20, 9 PM). What motivates human beings to go the extra mile (or thousands of miles) to help others? I’ll introduce the UUA’s action project #WeDefy, which asks us how we are defying hatred and discrimination today as we carry on the legacy of the Sharps. The Encounter Newsletter September 2016 Rev. Susan’s Message Thank you for the amazing welcome potluck you gave me after the service on August 21. It was beautiful and fun, colorful and delicious, and so many of you were there with smiles and hopes for this interim in ministry that lies before us. I know many of you planned and worked hard to put it on for me and all of us, and please know that I/we really appreciate your efforts. Last Sunday on the patio, people were continuing the fun. I was loving it to be in the midst of such good energy, when someone came and stood beside me. He commented on how great it was that there seemed to be twice as many people staying after church, and not only that, people were laughing. People hadn’t been laughing like that in a long time. Stress can do that to a congregation. Ministers, presidents, parishioners, visitors can all be waylaid by conflict in a congregation. If you are under duress, if you think people don’t appreciate you, or are on the opposite side of an issue, it shows. It shows in how you handle yourself, how quick you are to greet someone, to smile at them, to relax with them. Conflict can drive a congregation into the ground pretty fast. I have learned about quite a few nodes of conflict in this congregation that have taken place over the last numbers of years, and how difficult it has been for so many of you, including Rev. Ann, to bear up in the face of what can be very painful circumstances. Differences of opinion are fine, but when arguments get heated, or just transform from differences to argument, that undermines the sacred space that we are trying to create as a religious community. Do you think you’re alone in experiencing this depth of conflict? Let me tell you that you’re not. I served as what we call “Good Officer” for the Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association for many years, and that position can be akin to a “minister to the ministers.” I have heard a boatload of stories about conflict in congregations, as well as experienced my own. It’s quite common, and no fun. So “Yay” to the happy conversations on the patio. “Yay” to the smiles and well-wishes I’ve witnessed among you, even between those of you I know are having a difficult time with one another. You might not be ready to forgive one another, but you can move on, be respectful, and one day, maybe sit down with one another and talk about your disagreements. Doesn’t mean (at all!) that you will come to some miraculous agreement, but you will smooth the emotions by practicing respectful listening. Boy. I really didn’t think I was going to say that in this column, but it’s in my heart, and I hope you can hear it. One task of the interim period is to begin to help the congregation heal, and we can’t Page 2 The Encounter Newsletter September 2016 heal until we raise up the issues of conflict which have been swirling around, and bring them to the surface. We can’t solve them, at least not right off, but bringing them out in the open is the first step. I want to thank the many people who have come to me and shared their heart-felt concerns, and hurts, as well as their worries. Hope was there in every one of those conversations, too, and that will be the grounding for our work together. As I said in the sermon on creativity, remember that “wise silence” of Emerson, and carve out of your busy lives some open, unscheduled, creative time to listen to your hearts, and maybe you will know what you care most about in faith and religious community. And, breathe in peace. And, breathe out love. Love, Susan *********************************************************************************** President’s Message Board Briefs and Updates — September 2016 Dear beloved, beUUtiful community, This is an exciting time for us as we begin our shared ministry with Rev. Susan. Among many things, we will be exploring who we are as a congregation, what our resources are, and how the two relate in regards to our vision as a congregation. To get us started the Land Use Study Group, (Maribel Dana, Bruce Mount, Vasu Dev, Megan Gallagher, Francine Younger) have been hard at work exploring the possible options for our property. On September 18, after the worship service, their report will be presented. Your feedback and questions are welcomed so that other possibilities can be explored and the information can be further refined. This is just a first step, one of many informational meetings in regards to this important resource that belongs to the congregation. We will not be voting at this meeting! At the same meeting, we will work on our vision. Our vision and our decisions about our land are intertwined. We will never be able to decide what to do with our land if we don’t have a vision of where we are going. This part of the meeting will build on the work we did in the Visioning Workshop led by Kathy Rickey of the PSWD back in August of 2015. It’s going to be a lot of fun! In preparation for the meeting, ask yourself what brought you to MVUUC? What keeps you coming back? And finally, what are you longing for in your spiritual home? I’m excited about the possibilities as we explore together! “I put my hand in yours so that together we may do what I cannot do alone.” In service, Rita Salama Page 3 The Encounter Newsletter September 2016 The next Board meeting is Wednesday, September 14, 6:30 p.m. in the Founders Room. They are open meetings and visitors are welcome to attend. If you wish to speak to an issue, please contact the Board President at least one week in advance to be placed on the agenda. Highlights of August 2016 Board Meeting First Board Meeting with Rev. Susan Manker-Seale Quinceaneras/Weddings are over budget. Visioning Update and Land Use Study Group Report to be held September 18 Office Administrator's hours increased from 15 to 18 per week Liaisons were assigned to committees and groups.

  • Knot Symbolism
    Witch's Knot Posted by Silver Sunday, January 5, 2014 at 5:28 PM http://nordicwiccan.blogspot.nl/2014/01/witchs-knot.html There are many different types of magic knots, all of which have their own uses and their own history. In Pagan Roman times, couples would tie a knot while make solemn vows to each other and their gods during their wedding ceremony, which is where we get the phrase 'tying the knot'. The Witch's Knot, also known as the Witch's Charm or Magic Knot, is comprised of four interlocking vesica piscis-shapes. The knot can also be found with a central circle. The vesica piscis is a shape that is the intersection of two circles with the same radius, intersecting in such a way that the center of each circle lies on the perimeter of the other. The name literally means the "bladder of a fish" in Latin. The shape is also called mandorla (almond in Italian). The pointed oval sign, the vesica piscis, has also been called the Vessel of the Fish. "Fish" and "womb" were synonymous terms in ancient Greek delphos. Its link to fertility, birth, feminine sexuality and the natural force of women was acknowledged also by the Celts, as well as pagan cultures throughout northern Europe. The Great Goddess was portrayed elsewhere with pendulous breasts, accentuated buttocks and a conspicuous vaginal orifice, the upright vesica piscis. Christians later adapted the symbol as their own for Ichthys, fish. A circle is a simple shape of geometry that is the set of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the centre.

  • The Path of the Witch Booklet 1
    The path of the Witch booklet 1 The path of the Witch Book of Shadows writings The path of the Witch booklet 2 Foreword My Book of Shadows I put this general booklet together for I know that one has to sit hours working on the internet or spend time reading through plenty of books to get information. So from the groups I belong to I gathered some information I deemed important and created this booklet to help the one who is new to the traditions of the Witch. Please note that I have not added any spells in this booklet for that is a personal aspect which you will develop on your own. Note that this booklet is just a summary and not a complete guide to Witchcraft. Use this booklet only as a basic place or stepping stone from which to grow. If you want to go deeper into every aspect of this path I advise you to buy the books I mention at the end of the booklet in the reading list. These books are complete in every aspect. You can also enlist in the following two schools, or any other school, which will help you on your path: www.witchschool.com and do the Correllian degree courses www.magickaschool.com and do the Progressive Witchcraft degree courses Please note this booklet is an algamation of information extracts from a variety of internet sites and groups, and some from books I read. I do not take credit for the written words (Except Method 6 of circle casting) herein as all the knowledge about the path was already written and I felt that written works do not need a change in wording or otherwise – the message are already in the words written.

  • Lesson 9, Hedge Witchcraft
    Lesson 9, Hedge Witchcraft Well, this is it, the lesson about the typical person's concept of the term "witch". They think of the woman standing around in the black robes, with a bubbling cauldron over a fire, stirring it with a spoon, brewing some sort of esoteric potion. If they are charitable they may think about Ceridwen, who brewed a cauldron of Inspiration and Science for her son, until Taliesin accidentally got the benefits of that potion. They may think of the Witch of Endor, who advised King Saul in some matters and had a "familiar spirit" to tell her what was going on. They may think of the Burning Times, and how so many hundreds of thousands of people were killed in the hysteria. They may think of Salem Massachusetts where 26 people were put to death for being witches, and hundreds more were accused, and confessed to being Witches. Here's the rub, however, there were no witches in Salem, only one lady practicing her native religion and a lot of political infighting. The Burning times were not about witchcraft so much as about rooting out heresy in the Catholic Church, along with political and financial gain. (The witch finders got a percentage of the property seized when a witch was executed.) I know some of you may know this short history lesson, but for those who are not familiar with the facts, it's necessary to state this again. Witchcraft developed out of several traditions. Margaret Murray proposed in her essay "The Witch Cult in Western Europe1" and further revised in "The God of the Witches2" that there was a cult of witches who had been practicing in secret since prehistoric times.

  • Samhain 2015
    Pooka's Page for Grownups With our last issue, Liliane Grenier who creates the marvelous coloring pages for you was also on the verge of producing her latest creation - a new baby! Wee Simon has been born and now Liliane is taking some well- deserved time off with this totally adorable new member of her family. So, we hope you'll understand why her page from last year is a repeat. We think you'll enjoy coloring it all over again. But, just in case, Carolina Gonzalez, who's done some of our favorite coloring pages in the past, happened stepped forward with a new one for this issue. Just as in our last issue, when Christine was unable to do her Rune column and so many of our Team suddenly appeared with rune articles of their own, sometimes it seems magical the way things work out. Thanks, Carolina. Your intuitive timing was, as always, perfect! And, speaking of help, Carmen had plenty when creating her Ritual page for this issue. Her young nieces, Gina and Catie, ages 10 and 8 respectively, were visiting and very excited to take part. In fact, they actually wrote the invocations themselves! Afterwards, they were heard explaining to another aunt that " Samhain is another name for Halloween and it is not just about candy and masks; it’s about sweet memories of people and pets you loved." Truer words were never spoken... Pooka, the Team and I all join in wishing you a magical Samhain filled with both treats and sweet memories. Lora Also known as: Halloween, All Hallow’s Eve, Shadow Fest, Night of Remembering Samhain (pronounced “Sowain” or “Sowhen”) means the “end of summer” and harkens back to the days of the ancient Celts when the year was divided in two parts – the warm half, or “summer”.
