With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into
any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any techniques to help prevent content from being stolen? I’d definitely
appreciate it.

Comment on Question: Worth Recording the Bad? by Tiger Moon

There is a ritual you can use that would be perfect for this! Toward the end of the year, build a fire outside under a full moon. After cleansing, grounding, calling upon the available energies, etc. (however you do it) open the negative jar and read, one by one, resolve to let any remaining negative energies regarding it go, and toss it into the fire as you say “I release you!” , until the jar is empty. Cleanse and center again. Then open the “good” jar and relive the good times. Burn and offer these positive energies to the moon and stars for their assistance!! I think Samhain, or the full moon closest to it, would be perfect! Or Yule, if you can take the cold weather.

Both jars are about Living. Intent is everything, yes? Pick your wave and ride….

Remember that soil is just worm shit. It’s all part of nature’s wonderful cycle, unless I run over some on my wonderful cycle and it launches skyward. Clean up after your dogs, people. And your horses – those things leave road-mines for motorcyclists.

They’ve been breeding. Everyone knows spooning leads to forking.

Thanks, Polly & Moon Magic. So many interesting thoughts around this. Writing down the bag things is a form of release and removal from self. Keeping them in a jar, potentially keeping it around? Or can it be used in a memento style?

What of putting a spell on the jar for working to deal with things?

But then, in the interest of balance, does a spell go onto the happy jar?

Or is it all one jar of life that gets divided at the end of the year?

How much power does a written representation of a thing hold? Is it solely based on what we put into it? Do we treat the positive and negative with differing methodologies (which is what likely led to the happy jar in the first place and definitely what started this post)? And much more interestingly, how does our attitude differ and is this a case where working towards similarity is best served or towards difference?

So many interesting questions…

I have written down things that hurt and pissed me off that I had difficulty letting go of, but then I put them in one of two places … my cauldron where I burned them to help release them or set them free, or in a box on my altar, also releasing them by offering them to the Goddess who can then change their energies as She deems best. I think putting them in a jar and holding on to them would keep you linked to them. It would be like praying for what you didn’t want.

in a word yes…. a negative jar would be a nice balance to a positive one.. i am all for the balance to. i also wonder about the negative stuff that is put in, and what comes to mind is that it is not just about a shitty day as such but more about *ponders this*.. maybe negative things that need to be released.. so that what you put in the jar is negative shit that no longer adds value err but that is not quite right… *ponders more* this would be so much better if i could wave my hands about… my feeling is that when the jar is opened and the stuff is read a bunch of it will be stuff that was overcome, delt with etc etc.. and what is left will be the next bunch of lessons so to speak.. or something along those lines…

*ponders this*

Sparrow, I hear yeah, but what I find for me is that I already can easily dwell in the negative. Or to clarify, when I fall into dwelling, I fall deep, hard and long into it (though thankfully on many things I just let them drift past with barely a nod). Which arguably could support your argument, as the concern becomes whether it would increase the negativity.

SirsPixie, thanks. Your positive response I think has tipped me over into actually trying the experiment, not just thinking about it. Now to find two jars that are appropriate. And where they shall go. As you know, I’m a balance freak, and how we handle the bad is surely as important as how we handle the good?
