This is my 1,000th post. I dedicate it to my beloved wife.

[Metta]

The queen of my heart and the mother of our virtual pets, the baby pandas. Aum jai namaste. Shanti, shanti aum.

post? :hi:

2. What a beautiful gesture! For those who don't understand it,

what do the last six words mean?

[Metta]

9. See post # five, below.

Thanks for asking. :hi: :)

4. Your wife is a very lucky woman, metta! Congratulations!

:hi:

[Metta]

7. You'd love her.

I love her more than I know. I'm sure of that.

[Metta]

5. Thanks for celebrating with me.

The last six word roughly mean: (Aum) the sum of all sounds, a metaphor for infinite divinity without boundaries or description; (Jai) salute, honor; (namaste) greetings; (shanti) praise, I think. The phrases and the translation are a stepping stone to divine experience. :hi:

13. Divine experience is always a good thing. n/t

6. Congrats on reaching a 1000 posts.

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Metta]

8. Thanks, witch. ... love the pentagram.

... love the pentagram. I enjoy working with it in combination with a circle on the floor. Circle brings me great peace.

[texanwitch]

12. I have a pentagram painted on my floors at home in each room,

it brings me peace to.

[Metta]

27. What happens for me.

I get a power vibe with hexagrams as opposed to the healing peace of a circle, so I'm judicious about using them. They tend to amp me with an intensity that my wife mistakes for anger. I'm surprised they bring you peace, witch. You must have other things going on to temper them, I suspect. Hey, more power to you, in a good way. :toast: :)

29. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I have a second home at pain and loss plus, the one with the information is responsible for using it in a way that brings benefit to all. I'm touched, again, hippywife. My heart is kvelling. :toast: Congratulations on *your* milestone.
