Your
host, Dale
If
you have questions about sales or the site, please email
me, and I will do my best to answer them.
If
your questions are more of a spiritual nature, it deems meet, that I give
you some of my credentials
Personally,
I have studied many different spiritual paths in the course of my life.
I
was raised "Christian" in a very loose sense ... no church was mandated
... but basic Christian beliefs were taught.
As
I grew older, I began to question the other practices I saw around me,
and began exploring. I studied the Mormon faith for 18 months.
I
got involved in Native American traditions and beliefs for well over two
years with Chief Two Trees in Old Fort, North Carolina. This is where I
learned different healing techniques and was certified as second degree
Reiki healer. I participated in various Native American ceremonies. Received
a vast influx of knowledge in the field of holistic medicine ... herbs
and minerals versus medical cures and cover ups. I had the opportunity
to travel the Four Corners area of the United States, and was able to learn
and share with both the Navaho Elders and Hopi Elders. I spent over a year
in Fairbanks, Alaska, and learned much from the Native Americans and Eskimos
in this part of the world.
I
became a practicing Wiccan for almost two years...and loved that...the
worship of The Mother was wonderful and this probably left me feeling the
most complete...however I encountered some problems that I misinterpreted,
with a spell called Jacob's Ladder...and I dropped that path. In late 2003
I moved back into the Wiccan Path in many areas of my life and study. I
am the High Priest of the coven "Pagan and Proud of it"
I
also studied with Jehovah's Witnesses for eight years and became an ordained
minister with them ... only to have problems with the condemnation of all
other people that were not "them".
I
studied the philosophy of Kashmir Shaivism under Gurymayi Chidvilasanda
for four years.
Currently,
I am on my chosen path of what I refer to as Celtic Shamanic Wicca ...
a very eclectic mix for myself, that works well with Celtic traditions,
Native American Traditions, and, of course Wicca. I do not see myself leaving
this Path, as it has been my Path for several years now.
I
read the cards, and use a deck called, The Well Worn Path ... a Wiccan
Deck.
I
now work, online, at various levels to teach, and to learn, and, of course,
to share. I am always honored for questions sent my way. If you have any,
please do not hesitate to send me an email I
will get back with you in a relatively short period of time.

Church
of Spiritual Humanism:
A
religion based on the ability of human beings to solve the problems of
society using logic and science.
Most
people need a religion to help guide them through life's challenges and
difficult moral decisions. Recognizing how the power of religious rituals,
methods, and communication can impact human behavior, Spiritual Humanism
fuses traditional religious behaviors onto the foundation of scientific
humanist inquiry.
While
it is impossible to remove age old traditions from human culture, we can
redirect them by redefining their underlying significance and meanings.
Spiritual Humanism is natural, not supernatural. By using a method of scientific
inquiry we can define the inspirational divine spark inherent in all living
creatures.
Universal
Ministry's Doctrine
The
Universal Ministries is a nondenominational Ministry founded in the truth
of accepting the rights of all to follow their own personal beliefs without
our intervention. We uphold the First Amendment of the Constitution of
the United States of America, and the right of the individual to legally
worship as they please.
Since
being originally ordained in the Universal Life Church, and as Ministers
in good standing with them, we have founded the Universal Ministries as
a truly independent nondenominational order. With members belonging to
several denominations, we created The Universal Ministries to encompass
all beliefs, and invite all members to contribute to the weekly sermons.
The
Doctrine of this Ministry that we "Do what is right, live fruitful lives,
be true to ourselves and the God each of us worship, while causing no harm
to others, and accept the individual's right to worship as they see fit
within the laws of their respective countries."
Through
the expansion of our current and future membership we will share the beliefs
of many forms of enlightenment. We invite not just Christians, but the
Jewish, Wiccans, Pagans, Bahai, and all others to join us in our individual
search for enlightenment.
We
acknowledge that spiritual growth comes from finding the truth in our individual
ways throughout life. Each of us must find our own Holy Grail. Through
this statement of our faith, the Universal Ministries willing share with
everyone that wishes, the benefits of our organization
