My first post in a long time.

It's been a long time since I've written on this blog and it's been an even longer time since I've written an extremely long, serious post. But please, don't let that stop you from reading because I have something important to say about this goal. Grow wings.

I've been on this goal for quite a long time, since Sept. 1st 2010 to be exact and this place has become a home to me, the one place where I can truly be myself. When I first came here, I was actually concerned because I thought that growing bird wings could actually hurt you, (But wait, don't shoot! I was always a believer in everything mythical, I was just curious.) and I can't blame everyone for being so defensive when I first posted a blog entry about my concern. After awhile, I came back...and then I came back again...and the people that I argued with at first...we became friends...and they seemed to understand me so much...maybe a little bit better than the friends I had had for most of my life, (Don't get me wrong, I love my "school friends" as much as I love all of my grow wings friends.) but...these people understood things that my other friends couldn't understand.

And soon, we were all talking to each other everyday...all day...laughing, crying, thinking of solutions to all our problems, we helped each other with spells and mastering new forms of shifting and kinesis. Some of us were avians, some were shifters, others wanted different types of wings, some just practiced magic, but we helped each other no matter.

I realized that I had become so close with these people, that they couldn't just be people I met on the internet...or  my friends....they were my family. And I loved each and every one of them so much. About two years ago there were these people called, Hunters, whether they were real or not...I don't know...but whenever they came on our chats we worked together to get rid of them. We all worked together like a team, like a group of people who had always been best friends but never knew it cause they hadn't met each other yet.

But....there were times we fought...and those times were bad. I think everyone had started an argument in the amount of time they had been here, and I'm not going to be the goody goody and say I didn't, because I did, and I regret it. We would fight over the silliest things and the most important things. And lately, I've been so caught up in this sense of being alone that I went all the way into the old posts...yes, the old posts. Posts from like a year and half ago. And I realized we always fought, not only because of the subject of the argument, but also because of the pride that we each held inside of us. The anger, the shame, the frustration...but also, the will, and the strength.

While we're all very different, we're all the same too. We all share something inside of us, the need to be free and fly...feel the wind against our face...run our fingers through the ever going expanse of the sky.

I've written this post for many reasons, I've been planning this post for awhile...and thank god I read Alex's post before I wrote this because if I hadn't I don't how long I would have ranted for.

The first reason I wrote this goal is because of all the newcomers, you are all so lovely, and I can't believe how much this goal has grown...but it is important to remain serious. Yes, there have been times when things have gotten a little out of hand and we had some fun for a few moments (but that was always on chat). Yes, funny posts have been submitted on this goal...but that doesn't mean they can take over. Back when I visited this goal continually, there would always be something about wing progress, or if someone was in trouble, or if someone was getting bullied, or if someone had family problems, or if someone needed help with a spell. THIS is what should be happening and I haven't been around for awhile so I don't know if it is happening or not, but from what I've seen, it doesn't look like a lot of people take this seriously, but no matter what I have confidence in this goal.

The second reason....is about the people I've been referring to this entire time...these people...these crazy, insane, lovable, beautiful, kind, sweet, trustworthy people that I have lost over the expanse of a year...I don't know what's happened, but I do know that if I got them back I'd cry tears of joy..which is something I've never done. Now, I'm not saying that you...the people who are reading this, aren't those traits that I've listed above. Because I bet you are, and I'd love to be friends with all of you, but you see, I'm not the best at it. *is awkward and hides under a rock*

But these people....they were focused and they wanted to complete their goals, no matter what happened. They were determined to stop the Hunters and the Government and so many other people we thought were threats in the passed, and who knows? Maybe they still are. But, I don't think we'll ever get the chance to find out. This date 2012 (Ooo, the worlds going to end.) is something we always talked about, and I'm hoping that this date alone will bring some people back just from the curiosity of it, but I'm sure that's unlikely. I just wanted to say, if we could focus and contribute information and help one another...we could do it..get our wings. Form flocks (some of them I already know exist), protect one another, just simply fly.

Now, I've lost my train of thought and no longer know what to talk about. But I can tell you that I forgot about this site for quite awhile, but it's been a good year since I've remembered it and I can't describe how ashamed I feel for being away so long and not updating my posts regularly, but I'm going to stop that. Hopefully, I can start posting on this goal with the same imaginary "Welcome" sign that I've always known. And I'd be glad if all of you could accept me back.

And now, I will end this post with the unspoken tradition of a quote,

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead

And a song that I found on someone's blog entry while searching through the old posts,

Sorry for writing such a long post, but it was time I wrote it, and thank you for reading it.

German Fae: Elves

Eleves, also elf and aelf, are a very widely known creature. They have appeared in books, movies, folklore, and so on. They have been portrayed as very pale people, which are a little shorter than the average humans, and pointed ears.

Their hair and skin range from pale to dark, and they do have pointy ears. I dont know if this is correct, this is just what i think, but i think people can get such a accurate look at elves, because elves are probably one of the magick creatures that are very clost to humans.

Eleves have been mistaken, and called faeries at one point, and they do have many similarities. Eleves like hard work and neatness, and they are attracted to place that work efficently, like good family households. They have also been known to have magick abilities. They are very close to nature, and take care of the trees and there surroundings, sometimes even living in them.

I couldn’t get much on elves, i looked, and looked, but i couldnt find anything. T~T

There is a link here:

http://www.kinhost.org/wiki/Crisses/SidheFaeElves

^ Doesn’t give much information, but a few stories.

http://www.survivors-of-a-lost-holt.com/W%20n%20W/generalfae.html

^ Don’t know if it’s really real, but it’s worth a shot.

I could not find a lot on elves. Ugh

Type of Fae: Water Fae: Mermaids

Mermaids and Mermen are known to have the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish, much like a dolphin. They can be found under the sea, in lakes, ponds, or rivers (sometimes). Any body of water really.

While not much is known about Mermen, Mermaids are a lot more….friendly….

Mermaids are known to lure sailors to there deaths with there beautiful, melodic voices; while other stories say they drag men down to underwater kingdoms, frogetting they can not breathe underwater. That’s why so many people are scared of them. But, although everyone has there own opinions, i dont think there is anything to be scared of.

The Merfolk, usually spend most time underwater, thats why there are very few sightings. But there is one video right here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNb0K_KVpJk


In this video, the man explains exactly what happened. And how he explains it, is very accurately correct. I dont exactly remember, if it was a comment, or he said it in the video, but in the video the tails of the mermaids are nothing i have ever seen. They aren’t tails that humans have artificially made over the years, the tails are to thin for human legs to fit in there. And the body structures are to thin, and wide.

It is proof, and i believe this man caught mermaids on camera.

So, merfolk usually spend time in the water, but in the most secluded areas of rocky shores or islands, they can be found on the rocks tanning. They can also be found by waterfalls, in the deepest parts of the jungles. Places no one really dares to go.

I hoped you liked this entry! I will have more on the different types of water fae all this summer!!! :D

Faerie Ring

Faerie ring, or faerie circle, is something that many people do not know about, and may see throughout there day and not even know what there looking at.
A faerie ring is usally a circle of mushrooms, in a meadow, or in a forest, honestly anywhere with a healthy eco-system.

These circles have been told in stories where faeries, or other magick beings, such as elves, dance around them all night under the moonlight. They say that faerie rings can also open passage ways to another “dimension.” Such as faerie kingdoms, or the otherworld.

I believe in the fae, i believe i am one, but this is why i warn you severly. For centuries it has always been said that when you step into a faerie ring, there is a chance you will be sent to another world. But when people see a ring of mushrooms (and if they have heard of the stories) they dont take it seriously, and there is one thing many people do not know. If you do get sent to another world, there is a good chance you are never coming back.

If you want more information, here is a link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_ring

Yes, again, its wikipedia, but i searched and there weren’t any other websites i could find that offered a good amount of correct information.

"If you see a faery ring
In a field of grass,
Very lightly step around,
Tiptoe as you pass;
Last night faeries frolicked there,
                      And they're sleeping somewhere near."               

                          ~William Shakespeare

Type of Fae: Irish Fae: Leprechauns

Here is another type of fae, a irish faerie. This irish faerie, is of course probably the most well known, a Leprechaun! The name Leprechaun comes from the irish name leath bhrogan meaning shoemaker.

Leprechaun’s are seen by humans once and a while, and are usually described to be dressed in nice, presentable old-fashioned clothes (usually the color green), a red cap, a apron, and shoes. They usually like to aid humans in small labor, and make shoes for elves, but only one shoe. Never a pair.

One thing you dont want to do is mistake Leprechauns for Cluricauns. Cluricauns, while part of the Leprechaun family, are tricksters. They like to steal, and cause chaos. As well as raiding wine cellars, and riding sheeps in the night.

One popular belief is that Leprechauns hold a treasure or “pot of gold” and if you catch one you get to have the treasure, but this task is very difficult to complete.

Here is a link were you can read everything on Leprechauns and more Irish Fae, i will be posting more about them soon:

http://www.irelandseye.com/animation/explorer/leprechaun.html

I thought this would be cool since its March, and of course St. Patricks Day :)  Hope you like this blog post!!!

How To Attract Pixies

Pixies are a very kind, and caring. But don’t be fooled, they can be very sneaky, and mischevous when they want to be. But that just makes it all the more fun (i have a weird mind, but i dont care).
If you’d like to attract pixies to your house, or your garden then here are some tips:
If you want to attract them to your garden (i recomend you attract them to your garden rather than your house):

• Plant lots of flowers
• Set out fresh buiscuts with honey, warm milk (leave the milk in a little cup please), or fresh baked sugar cookies :3 (Yummy!)
• You can also go sit outside some place you feel comfy (bring a blanket if you want) and just draw, paint, sing a song, play an instrument, sing a song while you draw. Anything artsy-like. ^_^

If you want to attract them to your house:

• You can set little flower baskets on your window sills (this would be good if your a teen and your parents dont except your beliefs or you think they probably wont. And remember to keep the flowers healthy!)
• You can probably set the biscuts, or cookies (whichever you chose to give) on a little cloth or napkin and place it in the basket
• I’d also say that you should keep your room clean, and your house as well

So this is some pretty basic information on how to attract pixies. Another thing you might want to do is make a faery house. These houses are usually like a bit bigger than a normal sized bird house (but you can make it however big you want).

And they should probably be placed outside in gardens, were it’s surrounded by nature. (NOTE: faery house’s would be best if they are made out of actual things from nature or little knik knaks) I mean i made my bed out of one of my families old Zune (im an iPod lover, case was my sis’s) cases, and i made the pillow, blanket, and stuffing by myself. And its so cute!

And please dont get discouraged if you dont see them a few days after you start leaving little offerings, because pixies judge to see if you can be trusted. Sometimes it takes months, but you’ll start to see things dont worry.

One last thing i have to warn you about are mushroom circles, or “faerie circles”. These are great, it means the faeries probably really like your garden and have opened a path to the otherworld there. But even though it’s tempting to see were that path will lead you, there is a good chance you will never make it back to the human world.

Hope this helps! :)

Fae

Fae, faerie, faery, fey, fay. There are a millions ways to spell it, but they all fall under the same topic, Fae. I myself am a faerie, and i have to warn you right now there are many MANY diffrent kinds of fae. And its very confusing, so please try to hang on here.

First thing is, just because something is called "Fae" doesn't mean they are the actual winged kind creature everyone always thinks they are.

"Fae" is the name for millions of categories of creatures. Fae range all the way from the regular faerie (the winged creature) to gnomes or goblines. By me saying this, you can tell how big the range of speices that are listed as Fae are.

I said that wikipedia is NOT good, but this page will give you a lot of information about faeries. This one page gives you info on faeries (the winged creature) not mermaids, dryrads, or naiads.

So here is the link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy

It covers almost everything on faeries. It even covers religion, and what people believe. Most people say that faeries are not in the catholic religion, this is were they're wrong. Faeries are believed to be Demoted Angels. They are to bad for heaven, yet to good for hell. So, they get stuck on earth, and this is were the legends cam from about faeries being so close to nature. Because when the faeries got trapped on earth, they took care of nature and "became one with it."

This blog entry is sort of like a crash course, because there is a lot, and i mean A LOT of information if you want to cover all of the Fae categories. And this is what im going to do, if anyone has any questions: What are the other types of Fae? Can you go a little more into detail? A little more into the magickal explanation?

Yes, i'd love to answer any questions, but you have to ask them. ^ _ ^ Any questions, please comment, and i will have a entry answering your questions soon. :)

Auras!

Auras are the electromagnetic feilds that surround every organism in the Universe. Although auras are everywhere most people think they are only on the human body, but as said auras are on every organism so they surround the human body as well. The aura that surrounds a person can be called a Human Energy Feild (HEF). Auras are invisible energy felids in the shape of a oval, that are usually called "auric egg" and this egg goes out at least 2 to 3 feet from the human body.

Auras are said to have 7 layers to match with the 7 chakras. Since auras are surrounding our bodies they can reflect our emotions and even shape who we are and what we do. Mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

Ok yes, i wanted to make a giant blog about this, but i was reading about it and it started to become very confusing. So here is what im going to do.

I'm going to post some links. (ATTENTION: The links that are given to you in this entry are not from me, all credit goes to Sunbunny (43things name Goldenangelgirl))

Here are the links:

http://www.healingthroughunderstanding.com/auras.htm

http://www.reiki-for-holistic-health.com/auracolormeanings.html

http://www.thiaoouba.com/seeau.htm

I find the first link to be the least confusing.

Now i'm going to make a picture (just click on it to make it bigger cause the words are really small):



Well, thats all i have for you on Auras! Please comment! Till next time!

Bye!

Demons

Demons, daemon, or daimon are found in religion, mythology, and folklore. Demons are described as supernatural beings that have fallen from heaven. This description turning into the name "Fallen Angels."

Demons have many forms, they may be in the shape of mist or a dark cloud. All demons have there true form, but when they are around humans they will usually keep to the shadows. One talent that demons have is the art of possesion.

Demonic possesion is when a demon takes over a human body. When one is possesed they may go through memory loss, convulsions, and fainting. When someone is possesed they have no control and aren't able to do anything. Usually when a demon posses a life form it's strength goes with it, so the subject that has been possesed will have the strength, knowledge, and power of the demon that possesed it. Other ways to know if one is possesed is access to hidden knowledge, new ability to speak foreign languages, and scratches or bite marks (injuries that you have no idea how you got them).

When one is possesed the most known way of seperating a demon from the one possesed is excorsism. But (and since the term "impossible" doesnt really apply to use) the best way to kill a demon one-on-one is very tricky.

Now, i dont exactly know how to kill a demon so any comments would be great. But if the demon decided to fight you in its true form, any weapon would basically work out fine. The best weapon to use varies on the type of demon you are facing, but my personal favorite is a katana (samuria sword). But i also favor daggers, they can be very small but they are some daggers as long as your forearm.

Another, and best, way to kill a demon is magic. But you must be careful of what type of magick you use. You can use pure magick (also known as white magic i think). Pure magick has no evil in it and demons can not twist it to use it for themselves. Another magic you can use is light magick (i like to call it this). I think light magick is any type of magic that may give of a light. But dont think it can be any type of magick that gives off light. Probably the most powerful light magick uses star, sun, and moon light. These are three sorces that give off the most light and are the purest.

But there is one magick that you must always remember when you fight with the dark forces. It is the magick that lies in your heart! The greatest magick anyone could ever hold, the magick that comes from your heart is not formed by just you alone. It is formed with love, friendship, and family! That is one thing you must always remember, because no matter what happens you can always find magick in your heart, because that is were it lies. That is were it comes from, never forgot your friends. NO. Your family, because they will always be there for you no matter how tough it gets, remeber what is in your heart.

Greek Gods and Goddesses

Ok, so everyone has been talking about this lately and i think it would be cool to blog about it, because although this is like real facts i <3 Percy Jackson and the Olympains sooo yea.

Well, i will just cover the 12 major gods.

    Zeus~ God of the Sky
    Poseidon~ God of the Sea
    Hades~ God of the Underworld
    Hera~ Goddess of Marriage and Childbirth
    Demter~ Goddess of the Harvest
    Hestia~ Goddess of the Hearth
    Aphrodite~ Goddess of Love
    Hepaestus~ God of the Forges
    Ares~ God of War
    Apollo~ God of Music (considered the sun)
    Artemis~ Virgin Goddess of the Hunt (considered the moon)
    Athena~ Virgin Goddess of Wisdom and Battle Strategy
    Dionysus~ God of Wine
    Hermes~ God of Meesengers

Okay, these are the 12 well 14 since i inculded Hades and Hestia. Hades isn't supposed to be counted as a Olympian but i think he should. Any way there is A LOT more info on them.

Here is a link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Greek_mythological_figures

Now, i know wikepiedia isnt supposed to be right, but this time it is because there just little boxes and not whole articles. Anyway, look at the link and about Eros being on the list with the Olympians...idk...i didnt know he was counted as one, but i didnt inculde him. Hope you liked this entry!

Star Children

Okay, so A LOT of people have been think about star children lately, so i decided to make a blog about them. First if all let me say this, if you are here because you believe in all of this...EVERYTHING mythical. Them you are without a doubt a star child. But which kind are you??? There are a lot of diffrent types of star children, like these: indigo, crystal, and rainbow children.

Star children in general are people, like myself, that have been sent to Earth from diffrent parts of the universe. We are sent here to make a diffrence and open the eyes of humans that have been in the dark for so many years. Star Children have psychic, paranormal, and in some cases magical abilities. We are here to mak ea diffrence in the world and send the Earth into a new era of understanding and peace.

~Indigo children showed up in the 1970's
~Crystal children showed up between 1990-2010
~Rainbow children are showing and will show up between 2000-2030

All Star Children are here for diffrent purposes, here is the link for all the information on star children:

http://www.starchildren.info/crystal.html

This list of traits, is the traits of crystal children. Since most people who read this blog will probably be born between 1990-2010. This is the list of traits a crystal child most likely has. You can also find this list on the site.

Thats it for now!!!

2012~Magic Barrier Breaks~War Starts

Okay, now i dont want anyone freaking out, okay? It's not good to panic. Now, im guessing most of you have all ready read my earlier theory, well if you have then you will understand. There are these people called The Dragon Council, they originally tried to protect our kind, but when they tried to protect us they eventually ended up hurting us. There are two types or the dragond council, the good and bad. Of course im talking about the bad. Eons ago, our own kind came to a draw in the war between the dragon council and all magicl creatures. But soon, in 2012, the barrier will break. The war will START, and the dragon council is going to try and win. If they do they will take over the human civilization, and the world will be in ashes. So,  this is why it is nessacary for us to STOP fighting, and work everything out. Because this time we are gonna win. NO.MATTER.WHAT.

Some of the things we should start with are battle postions. These are pretty obviouse to anyone so here they go.

 ~Avians: They will be archers from the sky. (some fae will be allowed to help if they are strong enough to battle with actual weapons)
 ~ALL Therians: They will be hands on in the battle feild, fighting with there teeth and claws. But therians are also able to shift into humans form so they will be using weapons as well.
 ~Dragons: They will take to the skies, but unlike avians they will be taking out bigger threats, like catapults.
 ~Wizards/Witches- Once agian they will be hands on, but using magic instead of actual weapons.
 ~Fae (i mean all fae: faeries,elves,memaids): Me and my brothers and sisters, will use our control over the elements and other sections of the universe as much as we can. The ones that are brave enough to help avians with archery are welcome to do so. Merfolk will help in underwater battles.
 ~Demonkin: They will stay along with the fae or be in the front lines in battle
 ~Vampiric Human and Creatures: All well help fight in the front lines, using their strength and speed, to help take down the enemy.
 ~Seers, Healers, Prophets (ect.): They will be on the sidelines tending to the wounded, and  psychic/seers/prophets ect. will help heal while also trying to decifer the enemies battle startegy.

I hope i covered almost everything, now just try to train the best you can. Train magically and humanly. Watch your back. I will be posting some ways to protect yourself in future entries, i already have some in my older entries. And one important thing is to never EVER give away your stronget weakness...which would be your biggest weakness. Now comment below on what you think might need changing!

NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!

My theory

This is for everyone that didnt understand that one sentence in my last post...

Okay, so i have connected three things.
1) Reincarnation
2)2012 theory
3)a video FirstStar showed me about gathering for the fae


Okay…well in the video, they say that they dont think in 2012 the world will end…they think the magical barrier between the human world and they mythical world will break. And then there is reincarnation. Guys…i think we are all reincarnations of the people from the mythical world thousands of years ago. And on 12/21/2012, the barrier will break and it will start. The most important thing i have learn from magic is NOTHING is a coincedence. We are all here for a reason. We are the reincarnations of people who made a diffrence for a reason. It all connects! We are star children, and if you look at a star child’s traits it fits in with my theory. Something is going to happen…and we are going to have to deal with it...

We shouldnt fight....

HowlsOfFire this goes out to you! We shouldnt fight! HowlOfFire is right! We may be somewhat human, but we have magic in all of us! Please we have to stay together, if we fall apart we all fall, what do you think happened the first time?! (okay you may not get that because i havent posted my theory on here but i will right after this) As i was saying...what dou you think happened the first time?! Why do you think some beings from the mythical world dont get along???....BECAUSE THEY FOUGHT! We can fix this, we can bring everything together agian, so please just make up and dont fight!

Zodiac Signs

Okay, i just wanted to talk about zodiac signs, because people usually never know anything about zodiac signs. Its really sad, but im just going to do a brief discussion : )

I wanted to make a really good presentation for everyone, but for some reason im having trouble with blogger so nothing is working : (....But! Here is the link to everything i wanted to put in this post, i hope you like it : )

http://flockdraw.com/gallery/view?id=113785&back=author

Once you read everything on that link, you can click this link:

To get more information on your zodiac sign, hope you liked this!

Kinesis

I have been studying this for a long time and thought i should post this on here. There are lots of kinesis, some of the general types are:

~Telekinesis- the ability to move or mold objects with your mind
~Aerokinesis- the ability to bend wind with your mind
~Electrokinesis- using your bodies energy to mess with electronic devices
~Hydorkinesis- using your mind to either mold, move, or shape water
~Pyrokinesis- the ability to control a flame with your minds energy

These are some of the basics. I would have written down how to practice these and get better at them but it was just to much typing. Instead here is a link to a site which will show give you some excerisises on how to practice the diffrent types of kinesis.

http://pyroar.tripod.com/index.html

Some basic information...

Okay, so this is some basic stuff that i've learned, i still dont understand all of it. There are many dimensions, so im told but there is one dimension (that i call the mythical world). I dont know if i'm right but i'm pretty sure the mythical world has always rested on earth, before humans were created. And as we evolved the mythical world became more and more distant and is now completely invisble to the human eye, except for those who know its there. Many people have a attraction to myths and many are turned down when people say you have to be born into the mythical world, but if you always have had a sort of tug towards magic....you were born into the mythical world, But the magic in you has just been in a sort of hibernation i guess you can say. Some people are very scared when it comes to these things, but the true children of magic will go to great lengths to find were they belong. This is my theory, but im pretty sure its true : )

Stranded-Believers

Hey! ShadowRose here! This whole blog will be about the mythical world. There will be posts about winged ones, dragons, shapeshifters, mermaids, fae, and everything else. This whole blog is dedicated to the mythical world. Everything you ever thought was fake is REAL. And trust me if you have a tingling sensation or a feeling of being understood when you read this post dont leave. You probably always feel like there is a specific reason you were born and you in a hurry to find out what it is, if so stay here. This blog will tell you everything you need to know, and soon enough you'll figure out that you were supposed to be something other than just a human, but i bet you knew that all along : )
