Shevê Yalda

[Piling]

On December 21, next friday, it is Yalda Night. Do you make faal (with Hafez or another book) ? Or have you special rites and celebrations ?

Just like a normal night Kurdish men often spend the entire night talking

By the way on Shevê Yalda, Iranian ppl use to make a faal with Hafez's dîwan. For ppl who does not know what is a such faal, it is simple : You open randomly his dîwan and put your finger on some verses, blindly. By reading them, you could have an advice, or a prediction, a warning, a foreseeing about the coming year. If verses are not clear, reading the whole poem can be helpful.

Why Hafez ? because he is considered as the author of the 'second Coran' by Persians.

I already hear Kurdish protests : why not a Kurdish poet ? Well Kak Dyaoko prepare something which will stays permanently as a Kurdish faal software based on a famous poet. So, be patient.

But for people who have no Hafez's dîwan and want to know their future after the end of world, I inform that at midnight you could post ur asking of a faal, the Roj Bash team will do open the book for you and will add your verses in ur post (you are free to write or not questions in ur post, no matter, just post anything for we could write ur 'lottery-felek').

Many of us don't live in the same time zone, but don't worry, everybody will have its answer, just care of posting in ur own Yalda Time.

So see you tomorrow at the end of the world

[dyaoko]

please do a faal for me


FAAL
'I am tiny as a seed but see how, with the fortune of Love,
I've reached the sun by my passion for Your face !'

Nice faal, congrats !

[Anthea]

I am psychic and a practising witch, more hedge than pagan

Tomorrow is the Winter Solstice, a time for writing poems, chants and casting spells for Peace, Harmony, Love, Happiness and Spiritual Well-being

Blessed Be From Me To Thee for I am the witch Azzara - The Bringer of Peace - The Spreader of Love

FAAL :Angel does not know what is Love, Cupbearer !
Require the Cup and pour rose water on Adam's clay !

VERY interesting - thank you

I use a witches oracle and a pendulum

Piling: The good news you are hoping for, which will affect your future very positively
is in a very high place and you are quite likely to find it in the next day or so

Dyaoko: Be careful of confidences given prematurely
Not for a little while you are far too preoccupied to have the time

[dyaoko]

thanks do you have the original text too?

[Piling]

My French translation is slight different from the English one, here is the original :

http://www.hafizonlove.com/divan/07/315.htm

به غیر از آن که بشد دین و دانش از دستم
بیا بـگو که ز عشقت چه طرف بربستـم
اگر چـه خرمن عمرم غم تو داد بـه باد
بـه خاک پای عزیزت که عهد نشکستم
چو ذره گر چه حقیرم ببین به دولت عشق
کـه در هوای رخت چون به مهر پیوستم
بیار باده که عمریست تا من از سر امـن
بـه کنـج عافیت از بهر عیش ننشستم
اگر ز مردم هـشیاری ای نـصیحـتـگو
سخن به خاک میفکن چرا که من مستم
چـگونـه سر ز خجالت برآورم بر دوست
کـه خدمـتی به سزا برنیامد از دستم
بـسوخـت حافـظ و آن یار دلنواز نگفت
که مرهمی بفرستم که خاطرش خستم

[dyaoko]

Now I know why I like you so much

I am a natural born psychic and a healer, from a family of psychics, seers and witches

To help me control my powers I trained with the National Federation Of Spiritual Healers, there are branches in many countries so you may have come across them in France

I have recently joined Subud, which is a worldwide spiritual awareness organisation, nothing to do with witches but I found it very good for empowering the spirit. I experience a sort of instant opening of all my chakras

There is an enormous witches circle not far from me (many of them are youngsters and do not realise the powers that they are playing with, so I am not a member). They provide what is probably the largest festival of witchcraft in the entire world
http://www.witchfest.net/

The pagan federation has inner power struggles and seem to use their meetings as an excuse to get drunk, I do not drink fire water

I seldom use the Runes, my daughter uses them all the time, and my son is a medium. I use cards but only because people expect me to use something, I never use the Tarot because the death card gives people nightmares. I like pendulums and crystal balls but have never used the I Ching though I would like to try

I have a Witches Bible, a Crystal Bible and a Christian Bible

Sometimes I refer to myself as a Clairsentiant Consultant and give guidance on both business and personal life, and sometimes as the Witch Azzara when I caste spells mostly using chants and candle magick, because most people understand what candle magick is and it does not frighten them

I believe that everything and everyone has the right to life and I will not kill anything not even a spider, and I hate spiders

I believe that we should help each other, share with each other, love each other and look after this wonderful world we live on

That is ME

Please tell me more about YOU

[Piling]

Well congrats !

About me ? Hmm

I was born as a Christian and I keep my link with Christ, bevause he is a great Master, but I don't care of religions.
I am fond of Angels … or they are fond of me ? In any case, it is often a bit … restless
I am not a vegan, I love animals (more than human in fact ) but i love also meat
I am searching my own path : Light and Love, like Rumî & Sohrawardî but I often wander.
I love sufi lovers and Iranian philosophers, and Dyaoko tells sometime that I am more Iranian than himself
I love travel as a Dervish, music as a Yarsan, wine as an Alevi.
I have visions in dreams, intuitions when I awake and I am quite good for enlighten the future to ppl.
My friends call me 'murshid' (spiritual guide in Arabic/Kurdish) but I don't want to be one

I hate no human nor animals but I hate tyranny, bigotry… and eating liver.

Where does the Shevê Yalda come from - is it Zoroastrian?
