Thoughts On Nature








Witches Song by Juliana Hatfield

 






Lyrics


Shall I see tonight sister, bathed in magic greet

Shall we meet on the hilltop where the two roads meet.

We will form the circle, hold our hands and chant,

Let the great one know what it is we want. 

Danger is great joy, dark is bright as fire,

Happy is our family, lonely is the ward. 

Sister, we are waiting on the rock and chain

Fly fast through the airwaves, meet with pride and truth. 

Danger is great joy, dark is bright as fire,

Happy is our family, lonely is the ward. 

Father, we are waiting for you to appear.

Do you feel the panic, can you see the fear ?

Mother, we are waiting for you to give consent.

If there's to be a marriage, we need contempt. 

Danger is great joy, dark is bright as fire,

Happy is our family, lonely is the ward. 

La da da da da da, la la la la la 

La da da da da da, la la la la la 

La da da da da da, la la la la la 

La da da da da da, la la la la la

White Lady of the Philippines


White Lady in the Philippines is a female ghost reportedly seen in rural areas.

There were lots of white lady stories in the Philippines, some of them haunts old houses, old bridges, caves, rivers, and many more. 
But the most popular of the haunting grounds of these white ladies is the “Balete tree”. 

Filipinos believe that such tree is the home of wandering spirits.
The most famous Filipino white lady of all is the “White Lady of Balete Drive”. 


The White Lady of Balete Drive in the Philippines, according to the people who had seen this, she is a beautiful lady with long hair (sometimes it covers her face), wearing a white flowing dress. (somewhat like that of a gown or just like a loose Sadaku's dress) 
So, if it is only a legend one thing is certain, there is great spiritually in the Philippines.
People are willing to seek out deeper meanings and truth.

Traditional healers are one such truth in the Philippines and the story of the Hands of Time Documentary is wonderful.
It features Jeff Cohen and his brother Gordon Cohen who was paralyzed from an automobile accident. Jeff takes is brother on a journey to the Philippines in search of a cure.

Jeff learns from a traditional shaman healer from a tribal community practicing animal sacrifice and ancestral worship. The shaman teaches Jeff over a period of years the art of Hilot massage which Jeff uses to help his brother recover.
