Polarity and Paisley
I have always been guided by intuition. Thank God/dess I have always been guided by intuition. For the past 30 years my right- wing fundamentalist brother Michael has accused me of being a witch. I call him the Anti-Christ. Now most of you that know me know that I prefer that my own spirituality remain label-free, so to say. I would also say that my own spirituality has evolved over the years to be even more all encompassing of so many spiritual beliefs. You see, I believe that at the core of everything is a flame of love. When asked what religion I am I often say, 'Everything, just like God". At other times I hear myself say, "have you ever heard that Iris Dement song "Let the Mystery Be"?
I get a real kick out of people fighting over ownership of God or the lack thereof. Everything/Nothing is the paradox.
Every time that Mike comes back around us he has to stage some sort of fury/self righteous scene and the last time he coerced his autistic son to throw rocks that I had in a ring around my lavender plant over the fence, because he said they were "Annie's witchcraft". He also threw over the fence a concrete heart that my little brother who died two years ago gave to my Mother who died a month ago, many other rocks that my Mom had around as well as rocks I had collected from around the usa. I could do an entire comedy routine about things my brother has staged to point out what he deems is evil. For even more comedy search preachhellsfire.com
So, the main teaching of Wicca is that everything you do to another comes around again to you. The other is that you (we, you ,I) should do no harm to any other living thing. Sound familiar?
I guess my spiritual pie has many different flavors and pieces. A rich colorful flaky crusted pie with elements of Catholicism (origin is universal), Native American, Buddhist, Rumi, Wiccan,spiritualist,Jungian,agnostic,pagan,druid,Josephcambellian,anniebism, etc etc.
I was struck with some inner comedy as I saw that my Sister-in law (A.C.'s wife) and I both wore Paisley the night of my Mother's funeral home showing. I personally was guided by intuition the morning I went to the store and bought my paisley skirt to wear . I knew that she would love the colors and the paisley. When I saw my s.i.l.'s outfit I thought, wow I guess Mike hasn't stumbled onto the origin of Paisley yet. O I Love paisley and I love the origins of paisley. here's what wiki sez: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paisley_(design)

Paisley, like kaleidoscope spirituality, has seen a resurgence in the fashion world. Everything eventually comes back around, sorta like an eddy.
