Rebellion
“Our very existence refuses your laws and your science, your religions and your philosophies.” B.E. Scully
"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion." Albert Camus
“Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.” Albert Camus
Wicca - Goddess and God
The Goddess
The
Goddess is the universal mother. She is
the source of fertility, endless wisdom and loving caresses. As the Wicca know Her, She is often of three
aspects: The Maiden, The Mother and the
Crone, symbolized in the waving, full and waning of the Moon. She is at once the unploughed field, the full
harvest and the dormant, frost-covered Earth.
She gives birth to abundance. But
as life is Her gift, She lends it with the promise of death. This is not darkness and oblivion, but rest
from the toils of physical existence. It
is human existence between incarnations.
Since the Goddess is nature, all nature, She is both the Temptress
and the Crone; the tornado and the fresh spring rain; the cradle and the grave.
But though She is possessed of both natures, the Wicca revere Her as
the giver of fertility, love and abundance, though they acknowledge Her darker
side as well. We see Her in the Moon,
the soundless, ever-moving sea, and in the green growth of the first
spring. She is the embodiment of
fertility and love.
The Goddess has been known as the Queen of Heaven, Mother of the
Gods that Made the Gods, the Divine Source, the Universal Matrix, the Great
Mother, and by countless other titles.
Many symbols are used in Wicca to
honor Her, such as the cauldron, cup, labrys, five-petalled flowers, the
mirror, necklace, seashell, pearl, silver, emerald…to name a few.
As She has dominion over the Earth, sea and Moon, Her creatures are
varied and numerous. A few include the
rabbit, the bear, the owl, the cat, dog, bat, goose, cow, dolphin, lion, horse,
wren, scorpion, spider and bee. All are
sacred to the Goddess.
The Goddess has been depicted as a
huntress running with Her hounds; a celestial deity striding across the sky
with stardust falling from Her heels; a Crone walking by waning moonlight
seeking out the weak and forlorn, and as many other beings. But no matter how we envision Her, She is omnipresent,
changeless, eternal.
The God
The God has been revered for
eons. He is neither the stern,
all-powerful deity of Christianity and Judaism, nor is He simply the consort of
the Goddess. God or Goddess, they are
equal, one.
We see the God in the Sun, brilliantly shining overhead during
the day, rising and setting in the endless cycle which governs our lives. Without the Sun we could no exist; therefore
it has been revered as the source of all life, the warmth that bursts the
dormant seeds into life and hastens the greening of the Earth after the cold
snows of winter.
The God is also tender of the wild
animals. As the Horned God He is
sometimes seen wearing horns on His head, symbolizing His connection with these
beasts. In earlier times, hunting was
one of the activities thought to be ruled by the God, while the domestication
of animals was seen to be Goddess oriented.
The God’s domains include forests
untouched by human hands, burning deserts and towering mountains. The stars, since they are but distant suns,
are sometimes thought to be under His domain.
The yearly cycle of greening,
maturation and harvest has long been associated with the Sun, hence the solar
festivals of Europe (further discussed in
Chapter Eight: The Days of Power) which are still observed in Wicca.
The God is the fully ripened
harvest, intoxication wine pressed from grapes, golden grain waving in a lone
field, shimmering apples hanging from verdant boughs on October afternoons.
With the Goddess He also
celebrates and rules sex. The Wicca
don’t avoid sex or speak of it in hushed words.
It’s part of nature and is accepted as such. Since it brings pleasure, shifts our
awareness away from the everyday world and perpetuates our species, it is
thought to be sacred. The God lustily
imbues us with the urge that ensures our species’ biological future.
Symbols often used to depict or to
worship the God include the sword, horns, spear, candle, gold, brass, diamond,
the sickle, arrow, magical wand, trident, knife and others. Creatures sacred to Him include the bull,
dog, snake, fish, stag, dragon, wolf, boar, eagle, falcon, shark, lizard and
many others.
Of old, the God was the Sky
Father, and the Goddess, the Earth Mother.
The God of the sky, of rain and lightning, descended upon and united
with the Goddess, spreading seed upon the land, celebrating Her fertility.

Mad World - Gary Jules
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... mad world
Enlarging your world

Oração ao lobo
Lobo, dai-me tua paciência de caçador para que jamais venha a render-me a mim mesmo. Dai-me o dom, a paz que teus cantos sagrados pela bruma escura espalham sobre os que te sentem rosnar no peito. Dai-me forças para seguir ouvindo o vento, para sentir tua presença em comunhão com o Grande Espírito que em tudo está. Que tua presença jamais se abale diante das montanhas cinzas que me cercam, para que ouvindo-te clamar aos vossos pelas noites, possa eu em tua forma fazer-me ouvir em teus uivos sagrados"
Girl In The Rain
Dressed in a sundress
Under the pouring rain
She twirled around
Raising her hands to the air
Droplets fell onto her hair
Bare footed as she started dancing
Letting her hair free
She's the girl in the rain
The water numbed all her pain
Her grieve hidden behind a mask
She lifted her eyes to the sky
And started to dance
Throwing away all her sorrow
She started to smile again
She's the girl in the rain
Nobody knows who she was
No one knows where she came from
All they knew she was silent
Like the wind in everyone's hair
Soaked, wet and cold
Ignored, rejected and unappreciated
Like the roses in her hands
Wilted and dead
She let the rain fall onto her head
She's the girl in the rain
Everything was different
After she left
All they could remember
Time and time again
Silent from all her pain
She was the girl in the rain

(não só) Aos pinhalenses
Muitas pessoas se acomodam e pensam não poder fazer nada.
Não é necessário apenas ir as ruas protestar.
A revolução começa com você. Estou cansado de ver
pinhalenses reclamando de corrupção, políticos, etc, mas sempre dizem que vão
votar em tal político por ter recebido favor, ou também participam desse tipo de esquema.
Outros não participam desse tipo de coisa mas as aceitam
como algo normal.
Como na grande corrupção na Unipinhal envolvendo donos, autoridades e muitos outros. Andam na rua e todos cumprimentam e fingem que
nada aconteceu. Reclamam dos políticos roubando mas acham normal esse caso.
Se não quer ir as ruas protestar, não faça. Mas tenha no
mínimo a decência e a não conivência.
O mundo sempre foi e está dessa forma não por causa de
governos ou sistemas que são facilmente derrubados, mas por causa de você que
participa e aceita tudo isso.
Além disso, a incapacidade de convivência entre humanos é absurda. A incapacidade de aceitar diferenças, sejam opção sexual, religião, modo de se vestir ou qualquer mínima coisa. A incapacidade de não prejudicar ao próximo, de se contentar com o êxito de terceiros; ao saber que alguém conseguiu algo é motivo de inveja e não de felicidade. Relacionamentos são baseados em ciúmes doentios e brigas. A verdade sempre é omitida por não ser aceita.

Então a vocês, tenho apenas a dizer: mudem e aprendam a
conviver.
Ou aceitem sua própria destruição. Recebam e vivam num mundo constituído do que são e fazem.
I thought of all the sadness - Mysterious Skin (contém spoiler)
I thought of all the grief and sadness
and suffering in the world.
And it made me want to escape.
I wished with all my heart we
could just leave this world behind.
Rise like two angels
in the night and magically...
.. disappear.
Monge ateia fogo ao próprio corpo
Thich Quang Duc, um monge que vivia no Vietnã do Sul, ateou fogo ao seu próprio corpo para protestar contra a política “anti-religiosa” dos líderes católicos extremistas que governavam o país durante a guerra.
Frases
If voting could change the system, it would be illegal.
The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don't have to waste your time voting. Henry Charles Bukowski
Every society honors its live conformists and its dead troublemakers.
The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual, crime.
Orwell is starting to look like an optimist!
People — pardon me, journalists and politicians— have often accused me of believing that I'm above the law. And yet, who isn't? The law is created by demonstrable criminals, enforced by demonstrable criminals, interpreted by demonstrable criminals, all for demonstrably criminal purposes. Of course I'm above the law. And so are you.
Government only exists because people think it does. If enough of us ignore government — don't obey its laws, don't patronize its services, don't vote for its members, don't fill out its forms...and above all, don't pay the taxes that feed it...it will eventually go away. Government is only a concept. Concepts change.
Illiteracy, lack of historic knowledge, and sheeplike belief that people exist to serve the state aren't the result of a system that has failed. They are the result of a system that has succeeded beyond its founders' wildest hopes. The system cannot be fixed. It already works.
Whoever lays a hand on me to govern me is a usurper and a tyrant, and I declare him my enemy.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me Liberty or give me death!
A regulation can be for a fool to obey and a wise man to break.
America was neither founded, nor freed, by the well behaved.
Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.
If the law supposes that," said Mr. Bumble..., "the law is a ass — an idiot. Charles Dickens
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Mahatma Gandhi

A origem dos 10 mandamentos
Dizem que Deus perguntou aos Gregos:
- Vocês querem um mandamento?
- Qual seria o mandamento, Senhor?
- Não matarás!
- Não obrigado. Isso interromperia as nossas conquistas.
Então, Deus perguntou aos Egípcios:
- Vocês querem um mandamento?
- Qual seria o mandamento, Senhor?
- Não cometerás adultério!
- Não obrigado. Isso arruinaria os nossos fins-de-semana.
Chateado, mas não derrotado, Deus perguntou aos Assírios:
- Vocês querem um mandamento?
- Qual seria o mandamento, Senhor?
- Não roubarás!
- Não obrigado. Isso arruinaria a nossa economia.
Deus, enfim , perguntou aos Judeus:
- Vocês querem um mandamento?
- Quanto custa?
- É de graça.
- Então manda logo uns DEZ!
