Wiccan or Hermetic?

A new public post at Hermetic Order for Humans... Wiccan or Hermetic?

BACK ON THE BIKES!!!

First, a brief history of this old man's journey. Here's Cougina

back in 2010, age 86, on his most recent bike trek. In case you think he was traveling light, take a closer look at his loaded bike. I think most of you, like me (Aggie), want to travel as lightly as possible when we are packing it ourselves. This guy was loaded up with 150 pounds on a mountain bike (a nice one,but still heavier than a road bike), plus a 30 lb. dog. To me, this pretty much spells "crazy."

Cougina and Aggie became a twosome in June, 2011. If you've followed along, you know that we lived for four months in our van, Augustina, selling western hats on the side of the road to support ourselves.

Last summer, Cougina got hit hard by the West Nile virus (usually deadly to those who get the severe form).

We eventually made the necessary move to settle into a casita in Phoenix.We've had a good time here. Cougina had been homeless most all his life, starting with being born into the circus, and continuing with various episodes of living in or on boats, horses, buses, motor homes, and bicycles, so this was a new experience for him. We've had a beautiful, green desert vegetable garden, and great friends.

Now that we're healthy, we are getting restless. What started as a December kickoff has moved forward with every conversation -- now we're aiming for August 1. We are looking forward to living a relatively green lifestyle, and to new experiences. We'll be keeping you updated as we develop and purchase our rigs. 

Blessed be,
Cougina & Aggie

Cougina's 88th Birthday

There was a most lovely party in Houston to celebrate C's

 
double infinity (88th) birthday.

We will try to share a little of the action with you.

As usual, C surrounded himself with beautiful women...

But the young men caught some attention also...

C blows! What is that strange auric effect with the light from the row of candles?

This was Cougina's first ever birthday party, and he was truly delighted. Thank you to all!
Blessed be,
Aggie & Cougina

SOLSTICE CELEBRATION WITH DON LUIS AND COUGINA

We are very happy to announce that we will be conducting our first streaming video, interactive class and meditation on 12/21/11. Guess when that is, folks? In order that the meditation be placed exactly at the time of the solstice, the class will begin at 10 PM, with a meditation at 10:30, and then presentations by both Don Luis, on the Native American perspective of 2012, and by Cougina, on the hermetic perspective, followed by a Q&A session. It's important to note that this is Arizona time, so if you live in Houston, it's 11 pm. In Asheville or Palm Beach, it's midnight. If you're fortunate enough to live in California, it's 9 pm. If you happen to be in Europe, the Middle East, or Asia (believe me, we're getting some interest from there), you may have to take a break from your workday.

This solstice celebration marks the beginning of the fulfillment of a long time dream of mine, to teach hermetics on a world wide basis. We're planning to go online with regular classes and discussion groups soon. Please understand that the technology is brand new, and makes Skype look like kindergarten. At the present time, the most expensive technology available will only allow 6 people on screen while we are presenting, while the other 9 will be able to view and ask questions, either through audio or chat. We're also able to do straight audio presentations with this software to hundreds of people, which will be happening in the future.

We have had to purchase cameras, microphones, and software in order to do this, and we certainly hope that those of you who wish to attend will be as generous as possible when you hit that Donate button to sign up. Please email or call first (couginamachek@aol.com 602 386 8199) to check on availability. Luis and I each have 7 connections available. The 15th is going to Aggie, so she may participate while she is visiting family for Christmas. We are also putting a copy of this on theoldmansjourney, where most of our international traffic is. We suggest a minimum donation of $25 to help stabilize the cost of this experiment.

Anyone getting a reading after the 16th will get the opportunity to test this wonderful interactive system. Believe me, it's like being there.

Comment on Cougina's Reading

An unsolicited comment from a client who had an aura/Tarot reading from Cougina...

"I’m writing to tell you that just about 80% of your card reading came true for me! It’s very exciting, that you mentioned a legal issue and worked out exactly as you described! Also I appreciate you bringing to my attention, my friend anger……I’m at a point now where I’m actually learning and acting upon turning it into PASSION where it serves itself and me the best! Thank you, thank you, thank you."

We are wintering in Tucson, AZ, where Cougina is available for readings.  couginamachek@aol.com or 602 386 8199.

COUGINA - THE ULTIMATE FEMININE

1.	Cougina
	The genitalia of a woman over 40 years old. Mixture of the words cougar and vagina. Billy: "I got me some cougina last night." Johnny: "That's disgusting."

from the Urban Dictionary http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Cougina

(Cougina has always said that he is The Ultimate Feminine. And I thought that was because he bitches a lot.  For the whole story, join Covina Hermiticia - email covina.hermiticia@att.net)

NORTH AMERICA'S REDNECK METAPHYSICIAN

Many, many thanks to Patti Armstrong for sharing the wonderful images of the "C" that she captured on her recent visit...

The Old Man at Work

Cougina immersed in his art...

The finished creation...

The fire got under control late Thursday afternoon. Thank you for your prayers. Heber lost power early in the day, but it was restored by the time we woke up this morning (Friday).

The jewelry piece is a beautiful and extremely rare 34 ct blood red topaz set in 925 sterling silver. Excellent for all lower chakra issues, primarily first chakra. Excellent grounding stone. Perfectly capable of assisting you in all material endeavors. If worn by a man for a prostrate situation, the curlicues would be removed. Beautiful color comparable to a high end blood red ruby. This is a $300 piece. The stone itself would appraise for much more than that.
