Which Deity Is Calling You? Which Deity is CAlling You? How to Use Palmistry to Find Your Patron God and Goddess Summer of Magic 2018 | Rachel Erazo How to Use Palmistry to Find Your Patron Deity When I first started energy work, let alone talking to spirits… I didn’t know what the hell I was. I came from a religiously-strict background where everything was decided for me, from the clothes I wore to how I spent my Monday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. When I broke away from “the truth”, I was anti- established religion. I was happy with being spiritual – I knew there was something out there! – but I didn’t make an effort to find out. I didn't like believing I needed a name for myself I didn't want to believe in a higher power or being; they never saved me when I called for them I was afraid of creating a regular practice of anything, just in case it turned into a strict dogma At the same time, I missed having a label. It was important to me, especially with an overbearing family, to have something to call what I believe. SUMMER OF MAGIC 2018 | RACHEL ERAZO How to Use Palmistry to Find Your Patron Deity As I started working on my energy and changing my life, I realized I needed a steady foundation for what I was. I could be as eclectic as I wanted to be AND have a name. Once I sat down to figure out my personal beliefs by reading mythology, studying history, and experiencing different streams of thought through literature I realized something incredibly valuable: In order to be a successful, powerful psychic you need a basis of belief. The first step is figuring out what you believe – otherwise, you’ll wander aimlessly with your energy! This became crucial when working with deities and spirit guides. The less vocabulary you have when talking to yourself about your beliefs (i.e. what someone would have to believe in order to be you), the more difficult it is more ethereal beings to communicate with you. It's a similar attitude when walking in the physical plane: your thoughts, actions and beliefs will attract people of a similar vibration. The same thing happens with deities SUMMER OF MAGIC 2018 | RACHEL ERAZO How to Use Palmistry to Find Your Patron Deity How Does PAlmistry Come In? Our palms tell the story of our lives, both in the present and the potential future. The Destiny line, which will be the main focus of this workbook, points to where we best fit in terms of career and lifestyle. It's where we'll make the most money and be the happiest in life. Coincidently, the path that's best for us corresponds to which deities are best fits for worship. This workbook will mainly cover the Greek and Roman pantheons. Philosophers of these periods did the most work towards palmistry as a study, so they rightfully get to name the parts of the hand. Feel free to do research into other styles of palmistry for alternative names. SUMMER OF MAGIC 2018 | RACHEL ERAZO How to Use Palmistry to Find Your Patron Deity Jupiter rules the index finger and mount (or soft bump of skin underneath the finger). Primarily dealing with leadership, those with a destiny line that ends here are likely to choose philosophy, politics, religion, or law as a career. This can be confused with the Saturn finger, as religion here means positions like a priest or authority figure, not a healer. Jupiter, or Zeus if you prefer the Greek name, rules thunder and law. If drive is important to you, Zeus would make a suitable god to workship and work with. SUMMER OF MAGIC 2018 | RACHEL ERAZO How to Use Palmistry to Find Your Patron Deity Saturn rules the middle finger and mounts on your hand. It deals with time, justice, and harvest. Anything to do with finances, duties, and obligations around shown in this area of the hand. Those with lines ending under this finger are likely to follow mundane, "normal" careers. They may be drawn to banking, teaching, or owning a small business of their own. Saturn, or Chronos, is a God/Titan you'll want to work with. SUMMER OF MAGIC 2018 | RACHEL ERAZO How to Use Palmistry to Find Your Patron Deity Apollo, for both the Greeks and Romans, is the ruler of the Sun. He rides his chariot across the sky bringing day to all on Earth. He's also a master at the arts, especially with painting and music. Those with a destiny line under Apollo's mount find happiness in expressing their words through art. They're adept at literature, interior decorating, or creative careers. If you're a healer, you may also have a Destiny line towards Apollo; he was a god of medicine many ancient physicians work with. SUMMER OF MAGIC 2018 | RACHEL ERAZO How to Use Palmistry to Find Your Patron Deity Mercury is the Messenger of the Gods. Known as Hermes to the Greeks and always wearing his winged sandals, speed and communication are important to him. Those with lines that end under the pinkie finger need to use their voices to communicate. They may be salespersons, comedians, writers, or entertainers. Quickwit and thought are abundant here. Technology would be a strong suit of someone with a Mercury Destiny line as well; however, face-to-face interaction is always best. SUMMER OF MAGIC 2018 | RACHEL ERAZO How to Use Palmistry to Find Your Patron Deity Other Signs from the Gods Sometimes a line doesn't point to where we need to go for guidance! In this case, you'll sometimes see dots on your hand that determine what messages these different deities are trying to tell you: White - You have a lack of energy and need to do immediate self-care Yellow or Green - A sickness as sprung up in this area that needs to be addressed with a doctor Blue - There's poor energy and blood circulation happening. Get up and move around Pink - Lots of luck, love, and supportive energy is flowing to you. Red - There's a block of anger and temperament in this section. Find time to ground and meditate SUMMER OF MAGIC 2018 | RACHEL ERAZO How to Use Palmistry to Find Your Patron Deity The God of War, Aries or Mars, rules the entire center of your hand. The Active portion deals with your immediate relationships, the Passive is your subconscious, and the Plain is how the two areas communicate and are processed. Typically spots will show up in these areas instead of lines; however, if you notice thin or spidery-looking stress lines then work with managing your anger through the God of War is recommended. SUMMER OF MAGIC 2018 | RACHEL ERAZO How to Use Palmistry to Find Your Patron Deity For goddesses, we house three deities on our thumb that are split into three different parts. How it's shaped and balanced will define who we need to work with most. Rhea, wife to Zeus, rules the top portion of your thumb. Representing willpower, this portion is dominant to those who love action and getting things done. Athena, goddesses of wisdom, rules the portion of the thumb that relates to logic. If this portion is larger on your hand, then you're slower and more cautious. Venus, or Aphrodite, controls the right chunk of your lower palm. For those whom love and relationships are important, this is a goddess you want to work with. SUMMER OF MAGIC 2018 | RACHEL ERAZO How to Use Palmistry to Find Your Patron Deity The Goddess Psyche, or Luna, is also housed at the base of our palm. Those that have an excess amount of psychic dreams, subconscious spirit work, or have issues with mental health will interact with this goddess quite often. You'll normally notice blue, pink, or white spots in this area when Luna wants to communicate with you. If another color appears, definitely speak to a therapist to prevent any issues. SUMMER OF MAGIC 2018 | RACHEL ERAZO How to Use Palmistry to Find Your Patron Deity Nuzzled next to your mount of Luna is Neptune or Poseidon's domain on your palm. This area deals directly with manifesting your desires and travel. Some that are creative, and most likely have a line to Apollo, may have signs of Neptune here as well. If you notice red, pink, and white spots here then Neptune has a message for you about your desires coming about. SUMMER OF MAGIC 2018 | RACHEL ERAZO How to Use Palmistry to Find Your Patron Deity The God of the Underworld, Pluto, rules your wrist. Hades, when following the Greek name, is about endings AND beginnings. This can be actively tracked on your hand. Any manifestations you're keeping an eye out for can be seen on your wrist. They'll move in dots from left to right. Typically you'll see pink, white, and sometimes yellow dots. The shade of color will determine how hard the change has been for you to deal with. SUMMER OF MAGIC 2018 | RACHEL ERAZO How to Use Palmistry to Find Your Patron Deity Inventors and idealists normally have strong signs of Uranus on their palms. Also known as Caelus, he's the god of the skies and gives logic thinkers their creativity. If you see red spots here (the most common) then Uranus is reaching out to help you be more inventive. However, if the color starts to go from red to blue to purple to black, take a much-needed break.

DOES REASONABLE NONBELIEF EXIST? Douglas V. Henry J. L. Schellenberg's Divine Hiddenness and Human Reason claims that the exis­ tence of reflective persons who long to solve the problem of God's existence but cannot do so constitutes an evil rendering God's existence in1probable. In this essay, I present Schellenberg's argument and argue that the kind of reasonable nonbelief Schellenberg needs for his argument to succeed is unlikely to exist. Since Schellenberg's argument is an inductive-style version of the problem of evil, the empirical improbability of the premise Ichallenge renders the conclusions derived fron1 it empirically improbable as well. 1. Introduction In Divine Hiddenness and Human Reason, J. L. Schellenberg presents a special version of the problem of evil, one that is an interesting, significant, and genuinely new contribution to the scholarship.

  • Statement of the Problem 1
    Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary THE INCOMPATIBILITY OF OPEN THEISM WITH THE DOCTRINE OF INERRANCY A Report Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Theology by Stuart M. Mattfield 29 December 2014 Copyright © 2015 by Stuart M. Mattfield All Rights Reserved ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS As with all things, the first-fruits of my praise goes to God: Father, Son and Spirit. I pray this work brings Him glory and honor. To my love and wife, Heidi Ann: You have been my calm, my sanity, my helpful critic, and my biggest support. Thank you and I love you. To my kids: Madison, Samantha, and Nick: Thank you for your patience, your humor, and your love. Thank you to Dr. Kevin King and Dr. Dan Mitchell. I greatly appreciate your mentorship and patience through this process. iii ABSTRACT The primary purpose of this thesis is to show that the doctrine of open theism denies the doctrine of inerrancy. Specifically open theism falsely interprets Scriptural references to God’s Divine omniscience and sovereignty, and conversely ignores the weighty Scriptural references to those two attributes which attribute perfection and completeness in a manner which open theism explicitly denies. While the doctrine of inerrancy has been hotly debated since the Enlightenment, and mostly so through the modern and postmodern eras, it may be argued that there has been a traditional understanding of the Bible’s inerrancy that is drawn from Scripture, and has been held since the early church fathers up to today’s conservative theologians. This view was codified in October, 1978 in the form of the Chicago Statement of Biblical Inerrancy.

  • The Heritage of Non-Theistic Belief in China
    The Heritage of Non-theistic Belief in China Joseph A. Adler Kenyon College Presented to the international conference, "Toward a Reasonable World: The Heritage of Western Humanism, Skepticism, and Freethought" (San Diego, September 2011) Naturalism and humanism have long histories in China, side-by-side with a long history of theistic belief. In this paper I will first sketch the early naturalistic and humanistic traditions in Chinese thought. I will then focus on the synthesis of these perspectives in Neo-Confucian religious thought. I will argue that these forms of non-theistic belief should be considered aspects of Chinese religion, not a separate realm of philosophy. Confucianism, in other words, is a fully religious humanism, not a "secular humanism." The religion of China has traditionally been characterized as having three major strands, the "three religions" (literally "three teachings" or san jiao) of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism. Buddhism, of course, originated in India in the 5th century BCE and first began to take root in China in the 1st century CE, so in terms of early Chinese thought it is something of a latecomer. Confucianism and Daoism began to take shape between the 5th and 3rd centuries BCE. But these traditions developed in the context of Chinese "popular religion" (also called folk religion or local religion), which may be considered a fourth strand of Chinese religion. And until the early 20th century there was yet a fifth: state religion, or the "state cult," which had close relations very early with both Daoism and Confucianism, but after the 2nd century BCE became associated primarily (but loosely) with Confucianism.

    Index This online index is a much fuller version than the index that was abbre - viated for print. Like the print index, the online index has a number of goals beyond the location of proper names. For some names and technical terms it serves as a glossary and provides notes; for geograph - ical items it provides references to specific maps.

Certain key terms (sadism/sadistic, salvation/salvific/savior, sticking one’s nose in) can be appreciated for the frequency of their occurrence and have not been subdivided.

The lengthy entry on Lucius tries to make clear the multiplicities of his experience. By isolating the passages in which he ad - dresses himself, or speaks of “when he was Lucius,” I hope to make the difficult task of determining whether the man from Madauros is really the same as Lucius the narrator, or the same as Apuleius the author, a little bit easier. abduction, 3.28–29, 4.23–24, 4.26; Actium (port in Epirus; site of Augus - dream of, 4.27 tus’ naval victory over Antony and Abstinence (Sobrietas, a goddess), 5.30; Cleopatra; Map

  • Gods, Planets, Astrology
    Roman and Greek Mythology Names: Gods, Planets, Astrology By J. Aptaker Roman & Greek Mythology Names: Gods, Planets This page will give the Roman and Greek mythology names of gods after whom planets were named, and will explain how those planets came to be named after them. It will also give pictures of these gods, and tell their stories. By extension, these gods’ planets, in the minds of the ancients, influenced the personality traits of people born at various times of the year. Thus, the connection between gods, planets, and astrology. In the Beginning Was Chaos The ancients perceived that although most stars maintained a relatively fixed position, some of them seemed to move. Five such “wandering stars”--the word “planet” comes from a Greek word meaning “to wander or stray”--were obvious to the naked eye. These were Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. In fact, it is thought that both the seven- day week and the overall sacredness of the number seven within many mystical/religious traditions may have begun with the observation of seven heavenly bodies which moved: the five visible planets, the sun, and the moon. Each of these seven heavenly bodies is associated with a particular day of the week. According to Greek mythology, the first god was Chaos. While the word Chaos brings certain images of mayhem and disorderliness to the English-speaking mind, the Greek god Chaos was just a big, empty, black, Nothing. Chaos was Nothingness, the Void, or empty space. After Chaos came the goddess Earth, who was known to the Greeks as Ge (or Gaia), and to the Romans as Terra.

  • IS OPEN THEISM EVANGELICAL? . . . Bruce A. Ware
    JETS 45/2 (June 2002) 193–212 DEFINING EVANGELICALISM’S BOUNDARIES THEOLOGICALLY: IS OPEN THEISM EVANGELICAL? bruce a. ware* i. introduction Clark Pinnock is exactly right. After noting (correctly) in his Most Moved Mover that Arminians and Augustinians have co-existed throughout much of the church’s history, and that a number of evangelical theologians today (and not just open theists) are working toward refinements in an evangeli- cal doctrine of God, he asks, “Why draw the line at foreknowledge?”1 A few pages later, he returns to this question: “In raising the issue of the divine foreknowledge, we have not transgressed some rule of theological discourse and placed ourselves outside the pale of orthodoxy. Why can an evangelical not propose a different view of this matter? What church council has de- clared it to be impossible? Since when has this become the criterion of being orthodox or unorthodox, evangelical or not evangelical?”2 What does Pinnock mean when he says that open theists have raised the issue of divine foreknowledge? Simply this: Open theism affirms God’s ex- haustive knowledge of the past and present, but it denies exhaustive divine foreknowledge, in that it denies that God knows—or can know—the future free decisions and actions of his moral creatures, even while it affirms that God knows all future possibilities and all divinely determined and logically- necessary future actualities. As William Hasker explains, “Since the future is genuinely open, since it is possible for a free agent to act in any of several different ways, it follows that it is not possible for God to have complete and exhaustive knowledge of the entire future.”3 So, the specific denial of exhaustive divine foreknowledge is embraced in open theism as central and essential to its own identity.

  • Ancient Origins of Religious Universalism Peter R
    Ancient Origins of Religious Universalism Peter R. Bedford, Union College (A précis, of sorts) It is commonly considered By HeBrew BiBle scholars that monotheism in Ancient Israel—and By ‘monotheism’ I mean the Belief that there is only one God and that other ‘gods’ people worship are in fact figments of human imagination, idols that do not exist— emerged around the middle of the first millennium BCE in the context of Israel’s political subjugation and exile at the hands of successive Near Eastern empires, the Neo-Assyrian, Neo-BaBylonian, and the Achaemenid Persian empires. Imperialism is key here since the political sovereignty of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah was undermined By these empires and with it the royal-state ideology that averred that Yahweh, the god of these kingdoms, was their sovereign lord who superintended their affairs and well-being. The political power of these foreign empires compromised the authority of Yahweh since it very much looked like their gods had greater authority than the god of Israel and Judah and that these imperial gods dictated what would happen to Israel and Judah, their kings and their peoples. One reaction of a suBjugated people to the demonstrated power of successive empires and their chief deities—Assur for Assyria, Marduk for Babylonia, Ahura Mazda for Persia—is simply to recognize that your own god is one among many who serves the Great God of the empire in the heavenly court, and so suBjugated peoples here on earth must serve the Great King of the empire who acts as the imperial god’s vicegerent.

  • Sevy 1 Monique Sevy Professor Julianne Sandlin AH 205 11035 8 March 2012 the Augustus of Primaporta: a Message of Imperial Divin
    Sevy 1 Monique Sevy Professor Julianne Sandlin AH 205 11035 8 March 2012 The Augustus of Primaporta: A Message of Imperial Divinity The Augustus of Primaporta is a freestanding marble sculpture in the round. The sculpture is a larger than life 6’ 8” tall and is an example of early Roman imperial portrait sculpture. This sculpture is currently displayed in the Braccio Nuovo of the Vatican Museums in Rome, Italy. This marble portrait of the first Roman emperor, Augustus, is a very naturalistic statue. Although the sculpture was carved in the early first century, at the time of the Roman empire, Augustus stands in a Classical Greek contrapposto pose. While the sculptor of this piece is unknown, we do know that he or she followed the canon of the High Classical Greek sculptor named Polykleitos in pose, idealization, and proportion (Stokstad, Cothren 174). The Augustus of Primaporta statue sends not only a message of the Emperor Augustus as an accomplished military leader, but also clearly suggests that the emperor is a divine being. The Augustus of Primaporta is a three-dimensional sculpture. The statue actually occupies space; therefore there is no need to use illusion to create suggested space. However, the statue does use space, both negative and positive, to influence the viewer. The negative space between Augustus’s calves forms an implied triangle, or arrow, directing the viewer’s gaze upward toward the center focal point of the piece, while the positive space of the emperor’s raised and pointed right arm forcefully pierces the space surrounding the piece.
