			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Dragons-Shapeshifters</strong> now has its own site: <a href="http://www.dragons.roviat.com/" target="_blank">www.dragons.roviat.com</a>. There is much more info there than I put in the last post, so check it out. I&#8217;ll be tidying it up a bit, and probably adding more stuff in the next week or two.</p>
<p>Here, we have three days of scattered showers and thunderstorms. The rain is wonderful after the dry, hot summer&#8230; it smelt so fine! But Arrow has a thing about firecrackers and thunder. He is a bit big to be a lap dog, but he managed. He had forgotten about windscreen wipers, and wanted to chase them when we went out driving the last few days&#8230; bonked his nose on the windscreen several times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The heat of summer dissipated rather quickly this year&#8230; temps plunged quickly from the 90s-100s to the 60s-70s in the matter of a few days. And it looks like it will stay that way. Already oaks and a few other local trees are beginning to loose some leaves. It has been a somewhat busy summer; Kat has been canning tomatoes until the weather slowed their growth. And I think I&#8217;m about ready to resume here after the summer hiatus.</p>
<p>Kat, with our friends Ruth and Connie, have authored their new book<strong> Dragons:  Shapeshifters</strong>. I&#8217;ll be putting up a new page about it in the next few days. It can be ordered thru <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dragons-Shapeshifters-Connie-VanDyke/dp/1609760220/ref=sr_1_11?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1284093816&amp;sr=1-11">Amazon</a> and <a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/books/e/9781609760229/?itm=3&amp;USRI=dragons+shapeshifters">Barnes and Noble</a>, and most likely thru your local bookstore.<a href="http://www.roviat.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Dragons-Shapeshifters.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-751 alignright" title="Dragons-Shapeshifters" src="http://www.roviat.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Dragons-Shapeshifters-203x300.jpg" alt="" width="183" height="270" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><em>It has been a very mild winter here in the valley. Already a few trees are budding, and the willows have a distinct green cast. Arrow and I saw our first blooming crocuses yesterday, and the grass is already getting shaggy. The few freezing nites in December were not enuf to finish it off. Blueberries are budding also, and new leafs are beginning from the raspberries. Cloudy days and rainfall have been occasional, with the latter still below average.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio" target="_blank">The Golden Ration</a>, science will find, underlies all of nature [except where man has altered it]. The ancients knew of this relationship, and built accordingly. Even in the Middle Ages, Michaelangelo followed  these proportions&#8230; his painting and drawings are a most pleasing design to the human eye. The Egyptions earlier had worked not only with the two dimensional drawings, but pushed it into the third dimension with their pyramids.</p>
<p>Now the results of this should be the stuff of modern legends&#8230; not relegated books and wikipedia. What power is there in a specified length, such as a royal cubit?</p>
<p>If that cubit is designed into a golden ration pyramid, and that pyramid sharpens [or at least preserves the sharpness of a metal edge], if that pyramid also enhances food and water, if sitting in that pyramid enhances meditation and mental acuity, what are we waiting for?</p>
<p>We have become accustomed to living in boxes of no significant dimensions. Sounds and energies bounce willy nilly off walls and corners. What if we build a house based on the golden mean proportions? Could we not then enjoy the enhanced energy of that shape? A spherical house, or any of the &#8220;sacred&#8221; shapes would be a definite improvement as far as internal energy goes, and each holds its own particular energy.</p>
<p>Modern science has not yet really begun to tap this ancient awareness. But they are waking up to clues. Recent information from the Helmholtz Association of Germany indicates that the Golden Mean even applies to the atomic level. Linked magnetic atoms of cobalt niobate  resonated at the Golden Mean ratio of 1.618. Detailed info <a href="http://esciencenews.com/articles/2010/01/07/golden.ratio.discovered.a.quantum.world" target="_blank">here</a>. More <a href="http://www.theepochtimes.com/news/7-9-17/59853.html" target="_blank">here</a> on Divine Proportions.</p>
<p>Perhaps it is no wonder that modern man sees chaos in the universe, when he&#8217;s not aware of intrinsic order&#8230;.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Heather Fraser on recognizing the goddess within.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From <a href="http://www.heatherfraser.com" target="_blank">Heather Fraser</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;A goddess is a woman who emerges from deep within herself. She is a woman who has honestly explored her darkness and learned to celebrate her light. She is a woman who is able to fall in love with the magnificent possibilities within herself. She is a woman who knows of the magic and mysterious places inside herself, the sacred places that can nurture her soul and make her whole. She is a woman who radiates light. She is magnetic. She walks into a room and male and female alike feel her presence. She has power and softness at the same time. She has powerful sexual energy that&#8217;s not dependent on physical looks. She has a body that she adores and it shows by the way she comfortably lives and moves in it. She cherishes beauty, light, and love. She is a mother to all children. She flows with life in effortless grace. She can heal with a look or a touch of the hand. She is fiercely sensual and fearlessly erotic and engages in sex as her way to share with another in touching the Divine. She is compassion and wisdom. She is a seeker of Truth and cares deeply about something bigger than herself. She is a woman who knows that her purpose in life is to reach higher and rule with love. She is a woman in love with love. She knows that joy is her destiny and by embracing it and sharing it with others, wounds are healed. She is a woman who has come to know that her partner is as tender, lost, and frightened as she has been at times. She has come to understand the scars of the boy in him and knows that together, love can be the relief, the healing of their wounds. She is a woman who can accept herself as she is. She can accept another as they are. She is able to forgive her mistakes and not feel threatened by another&#8217;s even when attacked. She is a woman who can ask for help when she needs it or give help when asked. She respects boundaries, hers and another&#8217;s. She can see God in another&#8217;s eyes. She can see God in her own. She can see God in every life situation. She is a woman who takes responsibility for everything she creates in her life. She is a woman who is totally supportive and giving. She is a Goddess.</p>
<p>&#8220;I also adore the description below by Lakota Sioux Henry Houston, that so beautifully helps us visualize the Divine Balance and Union between male and female energies.</p>
<p>&#8220;When a woman is in her centre, she is like wild mare taking flight freely through the open plain, her mane whipping in the wind. The strength of her powerfully sculptured legs merge with the earth, majestically creating its own drumbeat in tribute to Source. She is pure and primal expression of creative power.</p>
<p>What is possible for her becomes totally transformed when her beloved is riding her, the masculine strength who knows and honors her power. It is through his surrender to her that he is able to become one with her. His masterful leadership and understanding of her raw power, her desires and her vision guides and directs the powerful energies in a manner that manifests the greatest good for the unified collaboration. He harnesses the energy into a purposeful end for both.</p>
<p>He does not fear or compete with her magnificent power. Through surrender and union, he experiences his True Nature beyond the world of form and this unleashes his own spiritual power. He is free! She gratefully surrenders to his leadership, for it grounds her, stabilizes her energy, and allows for its manifestation on the physical plane. Both are empowered by the union. Still each of them stands sovereign in his and her own power. Out of the balanced unity is created a third force, a natural flow of synergistic energy between them that combines their individual wholeness into an infinitely expanded wholeness together. All of creation joins in the celebration of this Divine Union.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
