The Emperor by Charly

He sits a King determined
Like the rams at his side
He is power personified
Warrior maximum his heart
Power of the Earth blooms from his core
Full is the universe in his head
Unstoppable his strength to victory
This the King in us all.
Power of sovereigns in our blood
Born conqueror in this world
Slave or king we are born
The universe shouts in our veins
We move forward Kings.
Let blossom the flower of iron
Release the great force within
The strength moving mountains
Open wide the fulcrum of self
Fierce mouth of power
Volcanoe opening of truth
Surrender to the King inside.
Enormous supreme infinity
We, the crown of Mastery,
We, Kings of the World
Universal sovereign in our Birth
Hail Great King…
Within…

This Moon is also known by the following names

Moon of the Green Corn, Sturgeon Moon, Dog Day Moon (Colonial American Name), Harvest Moon (Chinese), Fruit Moon (Cherokee), Women’s Moon (Choctaw), Moon When All Things Ripen (Dakota Sioux), Dispute Moon (Celtic), Corn Moon (English Medieval), Lightning Moon (Neo Pagan), The Barley Moon also signifies harvest, but Her message is much different than that of the Wort Moon:  It heralds the reaping of grain fields.  This is important to the Witch because grain holds the mysteries and cycles of life, death, and rebirth within its core.  Each kernel is the product of the first grain ever grown.  And yet this life renews itself every year to lend its energy and nourish our bodies.  There is little else on Earth more ancient or powerful.

An Overview of Core Shamanism by Dawn Firewolf

Core shamanism developed out of research done by Dr. Michael Harner. He discovered that all over the world, while the overall approaches to shamanism may be different, there were key elements in common. Dr. Harner then set about synthesizing these elements so that anyone could use them without pirating any culture’s sacred rituals.
