Recently there has been a lot of fuss in the media about the NEW sign of the Zodiac, Ophiucus. This is hardly new. The Ancient Greek mythology described how Ophiucus got where it was in the sky.

I am a Reiki Master in two traditions of Usui Reiki and have taken dozens of students from beginner through Master Teacher certification in Reiki at the Ministry of Sophia. A not unusual question from those who first experience the flood of energy through their hands that apparently does good things to improve the health of their clients is: “Was Jesus doing Reiki? Is this how he healed people?”

Nothing, absolutely nothing, riles me as much as hearing or reading about pompous male politicians dressed in black suits, power ties and invincible ignorance, and even more pompous celibate priests also in black, talking with the authority of their God, or their man made scriptures, telling women what they ‘should’ be doing. You can substitute ‘Threats’ for Advice in the title and it may be a more accurate picture.
