Sunday, in addition to being Easter, was also Earth Day. Earth Day always falls on the 22nd, and unlike the Philippines, we didn't have the good sense to just move Earth Day to Monday to avoid stepping on the toes of Christians who think the Resurrection of God the Son is more important than "Mother Earth."
But there's no reason to turn this into another battle in the "culture wars." Instead, why not point out the fact that "Mother Earth," which is to say, "Creation," points to a Creator? The laws of nature, and all of Creation, point to what the Declaration of Independence refers to as "Nature's God." Look at how St. Augustine, in a 411 A.D. sermon during the octave of Easter, used the beauty of the Earth to show that we have a loving God:
"QUESTION THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTH, question the beauty of the sea, question the beauty of the air, amply spread around everywhere, question the beauty of the sky, question the serried ranks of the stars, question the sun making the day glorious with its bright beams, question the moon tempering the darkness of the following night with its shining rays, question the animals that move in the waters, that amble about on dry land, that fly in the air; their souls hidden, their bodies evident; the visible bodies needing to be controlled, the invisible souls controlling them; question all these things. THEY ALL ANSWER YOU, 'HERE WE ARE, LOOK ; WE'RE BEAUTIFUL.'
THEIR BEAUTY IS THEIR CONFESSION. WHO MADE THESE BEAUTIFUL CHANGEABLE THINGS, IF NOT ONE WHO IS BEAUTIFUL AND UNCHANGEABLE? Finally in man himself, in order to be able to understand and know God, the creator of the universe; in man himself, I repeat, they questioned these two elements, body and soul. They questioned the very thing they themselves carried around with them; they could see their bodies, they couldn't see their souls. But they could only see the body from the soul. I mean, they saw with their eyes, but inside there was someone looking out through these windows. Finally, when the occupant departs, the house lies still; when the controller departs, what was being controlled falls down; and because it falls down, it's called a cadaver, a corpse. Aren't the eyes complete in it? Even if they're open, they see nothing. There are ears there, but the hearer has moved on; the instrument of the tongue remains, but the musician who used to play it has withdrawn.
So they questioned these two things, the body which can be seen, the soul which cannot be seen, and they found that what cannot be seen is better than what can be seen; that the hidden soul is better, the evident flesh of less worth. They saw these two things, they observed them, carefully examined each one, and they found that each, in man himself, is changeable. The body is changeable by the processes of age, of decay, of nourishment, of health improving and deteriorating, of life, of death. They passed on to the soul, which they certainly grasped as being better, and also admired as invisible. And they found that it too is changeable; now willing, now not willing; now knowing, now not knowing; now remembering, now forgetting; now frightened, now brave; now advancing toward wisdom, now falling back into folly. They saw that it too is changeable. They passed on beyond even the soul; they were looking, you see, for something unchangeable. So in this way they arrived at a knowledge of the God who made things, through the things which he made."Or look at how St. Paul, in Romans 1:18-21, makes the same argument. Paul's point is that there
THE WRATH OF GOD IS INDEED BEING REVEALED FROM HEAVEN AGAINST EVERY IMPIETY AND WICKEDNESS OF THOSE WHO SUPPRESS THE TRUTH BY THEIR WICKEDNESS. FOR WHAT CAN BE KNOWN ABOUT GOD IS EVIDENT TO THEM, BECAUSE GOD MADE IT EVIDENT TO THEM. EVER SINCE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD, HIS INVISIBLE ATTRIBUTES OF ETERNAL POWER AND DIVINITY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BE UNDERSTOOD AND PERCEIVED IN WHAT HE HAS MADE. As a result, they have no excuse; for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened.These are two sides of the same coin. Augustine praises those who, seeing nature, come to believe in God; Paul condemns those who see the same evidence for God, but refuse to. So it's safe to say that Christians have good reason to celebrate Earth Day, since the Earth is a testament to God which even those who never hear the Gospel can see and understand.
Of course, "this" sort of celebration of Earth Day relegates the Earth as a beautiful gift from God, and as a means to come to see His eternal Power and Divinity. Those who, instead, turn it into some sort of Gaia-worship are what the Bible refers to as "fools." Specifically, Paul, in the very next breath from what I quoted above, condemns those who see the beauty of nature, and worship nature (Romans 1:22-23):
While claiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.Paul's specific objection is that these idolaters "exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever" (Romans 1:25). Or put another way, Creation can't have created itself. You might as well claim that the Mona Lisa painted herself. So Creation must have been created by a Creator, and that Creator must have been so wonderful and so powerful that He was capable of creating something so grand and so beautiful.

There is a famous hadith, or narrative about the Prophet, that says that the Prophet was seated with his companions one day when a stranger, later identified as the archangel Gabriel himself, walked into their presence. Gabriel proceeded to sit directly in front of the Prophet and asked him a series of questions.
He first asked, "Tell me, what is Submission (which is the meaning of the arabic word, Islam)?" The Prophet answered it by listing what became popularly known as the five pillars of Islam: testimony of faith, daily prayer, charity, fasting, and pilgrimage. To the surprise of those watching, this unknown questioner said, "You are correct."
Next he asked what faith is (iman), to which the Prophet answered by listing the five items of belief: in God, in the angels, in the Scriptures, in the Prophets, and in the Last Day and Hereafter. Again the questioner responded, "You are right."
Then he asked, "What is [mastery of] virtue (ihsan)?" To which the Prophet answered, "[Mastery of] virtue is to worship God as if you see Him; and if you don't see Him, then [worship Him with the conviction that] He sees you."
This saying is an outlining of a path of religious or spiritual EVOLUTION, FROM A MERE EXTERNAL OBSERVATION OF RELIGIOSITY TO AN INNER EXPRESSION OF FAITH TO A STATE OF INTIMACY WITH GOD.
Even among the religious, not all human souls are inclined to intimacy with God, any more than all souls are drawn to be expert in medicine. And among those who desire divine intimacy, few are capable of the self-discipline and hard work that is demanded of them to achieve it, just as few who want to become doctors are truly capable of expending the effort.
Excerpt from "What's Right with Islam: A New Vision for Muslims and the West", by Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf. Published by Harper San Francisco).
Es un error celebrar la Navidad simult'aneamente en todo el planeta. Esta es una imposici'on de una religi'on procedente del Hemisferio Norte. En el Hemisferio Norte acontece en diciembre, en el Sur en junio. La raz'on de ello es su relaci'on con la duraci'on del d'ia y no con el mito del nacimiento del ni~no Jes'us que, como veremos, no naci'o a fines de diciembre, sino en septiembre u octubre del mundo Septentrional. La imposici'on de una religi'on ha roto la armon'ia de las gentes del Hemisferio Sur en sus condiciones clim'aticas, solares y tel'uricas. En el Solsticio de verano se celebra la m'axima expansi'on de la vida en la Naturaleza y no el nacimiento de esta promesa de la vida en la protectora apertura de una cueva de la Madre Tierra. Se les hace ir al rev'es a la energ'ia que hay en su hemisferio por un mito religioso que, al fin y al cabo, tuvo que cristianizar a las poderosas fiestas paganas que en Europa se daban en aquellos tiempos. Todas las culturas que fueron conquistadas por el Imperio romano ten'ian sus fiestas solares, incluida la propia Roma; y con el advenimiento del cristianismo las adaptaron a sus intereses para mantenerse y prosperar.
En Catalunya tenemos nuestras propias tradiciones, muy relacionadas con el paganismo aunque no lo parezca.
Nos vamos a centrar en la Sagrada Rueda de la Vida y los nombres celtas de sus festividades, porque son m'as representativas en Europa que las romanas. Y porque el tradicional calendario celta, con sus dos 'epocas (la de Oscuridad y la de Luz) divide los dos medios a~nos con sencillez y naturalidad. Adem'as se rige por el calendario de 13 meses lunares, cada cual con el nombre de una especie vegetal que florece o fructifica en esa luna. Se nombra cada una de sus lunas con el nombre de un 'arbol, la mayor'ia, o arbusto.
Yule es el t'ermino celta que se traduce por Navidad y ambos son de origen pagano. Uno dru'idico y el otro del paganismo de la antigua Roma. Natividad ser'ia el cristiano, pues pretende celebrar el nacimiento, la natividad de Jes'us. No confundir Navidad con Natividad.
La decoraci'on de nuestras casas y de las calles de nuestra ciudad viene directamente del pasado pagano. En Oriente no hab'ia nieve en la poblaci'on de Bel'en y tampoco el 'arbol de Navidad; pero nuestro esp'iritu arquet'ipico, en lo m'as profundo de nuestro psiquismo recuerda y pervive el sentir de percibir el verde perenne del abeto, del pino o del cipr'es cuando los dem'as 'arboles ya est'an desnudos y como muertos. Y tambi'en es conmovedora la serena paz y amor que en la tradici'on cristiana une las figuras de la Virgen Mar'ia y el Ni~no; que tan claramente evoca el mito de las antiguas celebraciones del culto a la diosa en Yule, con el nacimiento del Ni~no-Sol durante la noche m'as larga del a~no.
Aunque la noche pida ruido y diversi'on y muchos la celebren bailando y cantando por su aire festivo, en el fondo nos gusta un momento de silencio, de quietud y calma. La Tierra est'a en su momento de descanso invernal, esperando que la luz aumente y las semillas de vida puedan germinar y dar su fruto.
La cueva representa el tr'ansito entre nuestra conciencia ordinaria y la m'as profunda e interior. Por eso en la cueva del humilde pesebre es donde nace el Ni~no-Sol o el Ni~no-Luz. Donde luce nuestro "sol interior", nuestra espiritualidad; y en tal fecha se armoniza con la Tierra y el Astro Solar para recrear el Misterio. El misterio del "Alumbramiento de la nueva luz" y no de un beb'e.
En Yule celebramos el re-nacimiento de la vida, de la luz y hace referencia a fiestas muy antiguas indoeuropeas en las que se celebraban los cambios de la naturaleza en su ciclo anual en el Hemisferio Norte. Esos cambios iban en torno a la Naturaleza-Sol, como trat'andose de una pareja divina de dadores y sustentadores de la vida.
No se diferencia la Navidad de la Natividad, porque ambas celebraciones se han hecho coincidir. M'iticamente se refieren al mismo fen'omeno, pero religiosa y culturalmente hasta se oponen.
La palabra Yule todav'ia existe en algunos pa'ises como en Escocia, Noruega, Dinamarca y Finlandia. Se suele considerar actualmente el periodo festivo comprendido desde el d'ia de Nochebuena hasta el primer d'ia del a~no nuevo o Reyes.
En los c'irculos religiosos cristianos, desde el catolicismo hasta el protestantismo, el t'ermino Natividad es el correcto, que anuncia el nacimiento del ni~no Jes'us y as'i se distancia y diferencia de navidad de origen pagano y de yule de origen claramente dru'idico.
Los antiguos romanos celebraban el solsticio de invierno, cuando "el sol vence a las tinieblas" y empiezan a alargarse los d'ias. Cuando el emperador Constantino, con el edicto de Mil'an, declar'o el cristianismo romano como religi'on oficial del Imperio, los romanos segu'ian celebrando sus tradicionales fiestas solsticiales invernales; entonces la Iglesia decidi'o absorber esa fiesta d'andole un sentido cristiano, puesto que hasta entonces no se celebraba la Natividad del Se~nor "Nativitas Domini". El sol pagano (Apolo) que vence a las tinieblas se transforma en Cristo, y desde entonces la Navidad se corresponde con la noche del 24 al 25 de diciembre, cuando el solsticio es entre el 21 y 23 de diciembre.
En la mitolog'ia n'ordica europea, el dios de la luz parte en Sanhaim (31 de octubre a 1 de Noviembre) a la Tierra del Eterno Verano (el Submundo), para preparar su renacimiento, siendo su lado oscuro coronado como rey de la mitad oscura del a~no. Es la 'epoca de la cabalgada de Od'in. Es as'i que en medio de la noche m'as oscura del a~no nace la nueva luz, la promesa de vida, el ni~no-sol divino. Yule significa "Rueda". Es el punto en el que la Sagrada Rueda de nacimiento/muerte/renacimiento se completa. Se celebra en el propio solsticio el 21 o 22 de diciembre seg'un el a~no y es cuando se produce la ruptura de la mitad Oscura del a~no. Con el nuevo amanecer, el sol se eleva ya un poco m'as y se queda d'ia a d'ia un poco m'as en el cielo. Yule es la noche m'as larga del a~no. Para los antiguos era esperar el nacimiento del Rey Roble, el Dios Sol, el Creador de la Vida, que calentaba la Tierra helada; y la "diosa", la Madre Tierra, que con 'el cuidaba y guardaba las semillas durante el oto~no y el invierno en sus entra~nas esperando el aumento de luz y calor para brotar y florecer.
Yule encierra en s'i todos los dioses solares, las diosas madres y la "Triple diosa" (hija-madre-anciana). El mito m'as conocido sobre la diosa ser'ia la relaci'on del dios Dagda y la diosa Brighid; la divina hija, Brighid ense~n'o a los forjadores el arte del fuego y los secretos para trabajar el metal. La llama de Brighid, como la llama de la nueva vida, atraviesa la oscuridad del esp'iritu y de la mente. Mientras que Dagda con su caldero asegura que la naturaleza, siempre provea para todos los ni~nos y criaturas del mundo.
El nacimiento del dios sol ocurre en una cueva, que representa la propia Tierra; por ello una de las actividades de Yule es construir una cueva.
En la mitolog'ia n'ordica europea, el dios de la luz parte en Sanhaim (31 de octubre) a la Tierra del Eterno Verano, en el submundo para preparar su renacimiento, saliendo su lado oscuro coronado como Rey de la mitad oscura del a~no. Este segundo personaje queda perfectamente reflejado en la figura patriarcal de Od'in con su famosa cabalgada nocturna de caza que empezaba la noche del 31 de Octubre y conclu'ia en la propia noche del solsticio en Yule.
Para los celtas el a~no empezaba en la 'Epoca Oscura en Sanhaim cuando Dagda (dios de la luz, abundancia y la vida) y Morrigan (diosa de la noche, guerra y muerte) hacen el amor, permitiendo que sus dos mundos aflojen sus r'igidas fronteras. Pero en tiempos anteriores a su llegada, el a~no comenzaba el d'ia del solsticio con la fiesta que se llamaba "Fiesta o Noche de las Madres". Desde los tiempos m'as remotos hab'ia un culto localizado a las Madres. Este culto se encontraba extendido por todos los pa'ises germ'anicos y celtas. Era tal su popularidad que podemos encontrar altares de sacrificios, piedras de inscripciones y exvotos dedicados a las diosas en toda Europa, sobre todo en el Bajo Rin, Colonia, Mar del Norte, Inglaterra, Italia, e incluso en C'ordoba (Dedicado a Aufaniae). Las madres eran culto popular dado a que ellas ten'ian poder sobre la realidad inmediata, y como es normal y corriente de un inter'es m'as real.
Los nombres de las Madres son much'isimos, pero sin embargo hay una relaci'on en com'un en su significado. Entre los nombres m'as frecuentes podemos encontrar las Alagabias "Las que lo dan todo", Aufanias "las Generosas", tambi'en Gabias "Las dadivosas" cuyo nombre es el mismo que la diosa Vikinga Gefjon. Otras madres dieron fuerza y 'exito como Aflias "Poderosas". Otras ofrec'ian sabidur'ia como Saitchamias y Ahueccanias, que significar'ian "Adivinas de Agua". Tambi'en encontramos madres con el nombre de algunos r'ios sagrados. O se~noras de los 'Arboles tales como Alatervias "Se~nora del Roble" o Berguiahenae "Se~noras del Abedul". Hay madres sanadoras, que ayudan en el parto, de las bodas, del hogar Tambi'en Madres que ten'ian poder sobre los juramentos, o con la guerra, las batallas y la muerte. Sin duda estas fiestas estaban relacionadas con la tradici'on de la Gran Diosa Madre, seguramente del Calcol'itico europeo, en una 'epoca anterior al patriarcado cuyo mayor exponente es el mito de Od'in. "La Noche de las Madres" y Yule es la misma festividad y en ambos casos representa el nacimiento del ni~no-dios-sol como inicio de un ciclo de renacer tras la muerte.
EL TRONCO DE YULE
El culto dru'idico veneraba al 'arbol en especies tales como fresno, roble, pino, tejo, etc., y se deb'ia a la sacralizaci'on de todos los elementos de la naturaleza.
El 'arbol sagrado ten'ia el nombre de divino Igdrasil ('Arbol del Universo), en cuya copa se hallaba el cielo, Asgard (la morada de los dioses) y el Valhalla (el palacio de Od'in); mientras que las ra'ices profundas se encontraba el Submundo, Helheim, (el reino de los muertos). Los habitantes del Norte de Europa celebraban el nacimiento de Frey, dios sol de la fertilidad, adornando un 'arbol perenne, en la fecha del solsticio. Posteriormente con la cristianizaci'on, los cristianos tomaron la idea del 'arbol para celebrar el nacimiento de Cristo, pero cambi'andose totalmente el significado.
En la tradici'on r'unica, se marcaba una pausa de 12 d'ias que iba desde el 25 de Diciembre al 6 de Enero, durante ese tiempo todo deb'ia detenerse. Era un tiempo sagrado que representaba la sucesi'on de las 12 lunas, y el propio 6 de enero la treceava. Antes de esa fecha se abat'ia un gran 'arbol perenne que se mantuviera verde todo el invierno. Para seleccionarlo se atend'ia a los designios sagrados del propio Od'in, seg'un unos, o a los de Morrigan, en otros. Se situaban trozos de carne al pie de los posibles candidatos y unos observadores vigilaban los cuervos, las aves sagradas de ambas divinidades. Luego se abat'ia al 'arbol bajo del cual hab'ia estado el primer trozo de carne devorado por los cuervos. El 'arbol elegido por el poder celeste representaba Igdrasil (El 'arbol del universo) uniendo los mundos entre s'i, siendo considerado del todo sagrado. Se cortaban sus ramas que eran repartidas entre los vecinos y que adornaban con ornamentos evocando la luz de la vida y la fertilidad y abundancia en el mundo (el origen del 'arbol de Yule). En el tronco se inscrib'ian los deseos colectivos de la comunidad, con la certeza que 'estos se har'ian realidad estando gravadas en su sagrada madera. Y hacia el final de Yule se cortaba y se repart'ia entre la gente que lo guardaba durante todo el a~no y que lo quemar'ia cada uno en la noche de Yule del a~no siguiente. He aqu'i el origen simult'aneo del 'arbol de Yule y del tronco de Yule o de la suerte.
Con la cristianizaci'on se cuenta que san Bonifacio (680-754), evangelizador de Alemania, tom'o el hacha y cort'o un 'arbol que representaba el Igdrasil, y en su lugar plant'o un pino, que por ser perenne, simboliz'o el amor de Dios, adorn'andolo con manzanas y velas. Las manzanas simbolizaban el pecado original y las tentaciones, mientras que las velas representaban la luz de Jesucristo en el mundo. Conforme pas'o el tiempo, las manzanas se transformaron en esferas y otros adornos.
Despu'es se agreg'o la tradici'on de poner regalos para los ni~nos bajo el 'arbol, enviados por los Reyes Magos, Olentzero o pap'a Noel dependiendo de la leyenda de la regi'on donde se encuentre. La tradici'on del 'arbol de navidad actual con los adornos actuales parece que se inici'o en Alemania y Escandinavia en los siglos XVI y XVII, extendi'endose a los otros pa'ises europeos.
En cuanto al tronco de Yule, ahora que la tradici'on del 'arbol sagrado de Igdrasil, no se realiza, se ha adecuado guardando el mismo significado arquet'ipico. Es la representaci'on gr'afica y simb'olica del renacimiento del dios. Preferiblemente el tronco deb'ia ser de pino o de roble. Tradicionalmente el tronco que se quemaba era el tronco utilizado en la celebraci'on del a~no anterior o bien un pedazo de tronco del 'arbol de Yule que despu'es de cumplir su funci'on navide~na, en vez de tirarlo, se guarda una parte de 'el para este fin. Si los que se utilizan son artificiales, se puede adquirir un tronco "nuevo" de los 'arboles mencionados y hacer la quema del tronco de Yule del modo tradicional.
Grava o pinta en el tronco la figura del sagrado sol, o un s'imbolo de la divinidad de tu coraz'on. La noche de Yule, prende el tronco en tu chimenea, o en una hoguera cuidando de no da~nar el ambiente, diciendo las siguientes palabras: "La rueda gira, el poder arde". Mientras ves el tronco quemarse visualiza al dios sol brillando dentro de 'el y medita acerca del "renacimiento". Y debe arder a lo largo de toda la noche haci'endose o no vigilia. Tradicionalmente se hac'ia vigilia acompa~nando el renacer del dios sol a lo largo de la noche m'as larga del a~no. Es identificarse con su largo proceso de renacer. Y las cenizas resultantes se cree que traer'an buena suerte al hogar donde se ha quemado.
EL TI'o DE NADAL
En relaci'on con el tronco de Yule, hay otra tradici'on que originariamente debi'o surgir de esta antigua fiesta celta. Es el "Ti'o de Nadal" en Catalunya, Arag'on y Occit`ania. Y esta es la que m'as me gusta, por la parte que me toca.
El d'ia 24 por la noche se celebra una tradici'on catalana que sustituye al Papa Noel, es el "Caga Ti'o" o "Ti'o de Nadal". Es una tradici'on pagana que proviene del tronco de Yule, del que ya hemos hablado.
El "Caga Ti'o" es un tronco con dos piernas, una barretina y una cara sonriente que se cubre con una manta y que en la noche de navidad 'caga' peque~nos regalos a los ni~nos.
La tradici'on empieza el d'ia 8 de diciembre, esa noche se elige el tronco y se tapa con la manta, cada d'ia hay que ir d'andole de comer y beber para que nos vaya fabricando los regalitos que recibiremos el d'ia de 24 de diciembre. El Ti'o no trae regalos grandes, trae regalos peque~nos o caramelos.
En Nochebuena se llevar'a a cabo el rito que hemos estado preparando todos estos d'ias mientras que hemos alimentado y calentado a nuestro "Ti'o de Nadal". Los ni~nos coger'an una vara y golpear'an al tronco y como el Ti'o estar'a bien alimentado porque lo hemos cuidado mucho durante unos d'ias, "cagar'a" debajo de la manta los regalos (originalmente eran turrones, barquillos y dulces) para los peque~nos sobre todo. Aunque a veces tambi'en "caga" para los mayores no os cre'ais. Mientras se le "pega" al Ti'o los peques de la casa tienen que cantar una de las varias canciones que hay para esta tradici'on.
En Catalunya se llama "Ti'o de Nadal", en Arag'on "Tronco de Nadal" o "Toza" y en Occit`ania "Cachafu`oc" o "Soca de Nadal".
Pero a'un se pueden encontrar poblaciones en las que el Ti'o es un gran tronco que se pone a quemar en el fuego de Navidad.
Tambi'en se cuenta que, a partir de su origen celta original (tronco de Yule), sufri'o una evoluci'on en la que este m'agico tronco, un d'ia cercano a la v'ispera de Navidad (24 de diciembre); llega a la casa llamando a la puerta. Quien le abre la puerta y lo acoge en la casa debe cuidarle, darle calor cubri'endolo con una manta y coloc'andolo cerca de una fuente de calor (chimenea, estufa, calefacci'on) para que no pase fr'io y darle de comer hasta el d'ia 24 por la noche, momento en el que se le hace "cagar" con la expresi'on "caga ti'o". Al introducirse esta tradici'on en las ciudades, al no ser tan f'acil conseguir un tronco, se pas'o a comercializarlo. Originalmente todos eran diferentes, porque simplemente era un tronco grande al que se le pintaba como cada uno quer'ia.
Se le da de comer pan seco, mondas de naranja, galletas y hay quienes le dan chocolatinas y dulces. Tambi'en hay que darle agua para beber, porque si no le cuidamos no podr'a "cagar" los regalos.
Al Ti'o se le hace "cagar" en Nochebuena o en Navidad, dependiendo de cada casa. Es una tradici'on que conserva todo un ritual tradicional. Es una ceremonia dom'estica, de c'irculos peque~nos (en casa, escuela o grupo de amigos) que consiste en recitar o cantar las canciones que antes comentaba y al acabar, golpear al tronco (suavemente, no hace falta partirlo en dos) para que este "cague".
Esta es una de las canciones t'ipicas:
"Caga Ti'o
ametlles i torr'o.
No caguis arengades
que son massa salades.
Caga torrons
que son m'es bons.
Caga ti'o
ametlles i torr'o
i si no vols cagar
et donar'e un cop de bast'o.
Caga ti'o !"
"Caga ti'o"
"almendras y turr'on"
"no cagues arenques"
"que son demasiado salados"
"caga turrones"
"que son m'as buenos."
"Caga ti'o"
"almendras y turr'on"
"y si no quieres cagar"
"te dar'e un golpe de bast'on."
"Caga ti'o!"
Versi'on m'as corta:
"Caga ti'o
mel i mat'o.
No caguis avellanes
que no ens agraden.
Caga torr'o
que es molt bo.
I si no cagues be
et donare un cop de bast'o."
"Caga ti'o"
"miel y mat'o."
"No cages avellanas"
"Que no nos gustan."
"Caga turr'on"
"Que es muy rico."
"Y si no cagas"
"Te dar'e con el bast'on."
Como veis, es totalmente pagano. Nada que ver con el cristianismo. Una cosa m'as que debemos agradecer a nuestros antepasados celtas.
S'e que mucha gente dir'a que s'olo son ganas de los catalanes por tener ancestros dru'idicos y celtas. Y m'as con lo caldeado que ahora est'a el ambiente. Pero si realmente nuestras ra'ices, parte de ellas, no fueran celtas... ?tendr'iamos estas tradiciones? Porque nuestra Castanyada tambi'en viene de una celebraci'on pagana y celta, no lo olvidemos.

I first saw Hampi by moonlight, the farther than walls of the city wall glimmering, and the delightful slithered trendy my unconscious, unfurled and remains to this day. The next-door day, meeting in the Queen's Clean, I slipped back in time and Achale danced forward me, out of the keys, onto the page. Generation Achale remained a part of me, I heard the first indistinct whispers of her story just when I read about the strange keep of the boy-saint, a widow's son who came out of the temple combine with his sacred stance, in the colonial gazetteer.
This is a true story, which happened in Virinchipuram, Tamilnadu, India. In the book, I set this business in the make-believe hamlet of Alur, regarding Hampi.
The carry some weight was uneducated out of the pray to change history from the woman's perspective, not as a stump as she is so methodically on show, but as an explicit, making the best of her set. As a consequence, Achale, courtesan but not prostitute, a craft being who gets waylaid but not derailed, by life. Maya, the other protagonist, seemed to me the kind counterpoint to Achale- the modern craft woman- how far has she journeyed?
In the same way as started me on this fall was an lie in the woman's journal, 'Manushi' about women saints and sainthood while an act of transport. Holiness, even in modern India, occupies not just the headlines but page three as well. Greater than so in Vijayanagara, anyplace an nation was array apparently to invigorate an not well religion. The sacred and the blasphemous are tightly interlinked in the pious discourse and sexuality is but an trip out of love for the divine. I was severely inquiring in AK Ramanujan's translations of Tamil words of the saints in ' Sermon of Siva,' the meta physical yet erotically charged imagery of secular words and Hindu philosophy which associates Start, reproduction and fall apart in the dances of the Gods.
The place wretched Putting away alludes to the medieval era, of course, in which part of the clean is set. It is moreover a passage to the continuity of time, its cyclical nature. Between Hampi in the wretched ages, and Chennai in 1996 hand over is a image - in that comradeship was broken up and helpful opportunities were increasing. As well, hand over was a pious renaissance extreme ended India in what's more periods and governance was at an constant low.

Islam is a monotheistic religion based upon the teachings of Muhammad, a 7th century Arab religious and political figure. It is the second-largest religion in the world today, with an estimated 1.4 billion adherents, known as Muslims.
Muslims believe that God revealed the Qur'an to Muhammad and that Muhammad is God's final prophet. Muslims consider the Qur'an and the traditions of Muhammad in the Sunnah to be the basic sources of Islam. Like Judaism and Christianity, Islam is an Abrahamic religion.
Sufism is a mystic tradition of Islam encompassing a diverse range of beliefs and practices dedicated to Allah/God, divine love and sometimes to help a fellow man. Tariqas (Sufi orders) may be associated with Shi'a Islam, Sunni Islam, other currents of Islam, or a combination of multiple traditions. It has been suggested that Sufi thought emerged from the Middle East in the eighth century, but adherents are now found around the world. Some Sufis have also claimed that Sufism pre-dates Islam and some groups operate with only very tenuous links to Islam.
The Zohar and the deeper teachings of the Qabalah maintain how some angels are male and some are female. As usual, we cuddle the telesmatic images to aid us in our work with angels, but mature having the status of an angel is male and having the status of female is helpful in the mental e-mail and magical evocations.Auriel is regularly believed to be both a environmentally friendly female and an old man. And so, we crave to on purpose about what aspect of Auriel we are evoking. THIS Forward motion Sort US Drastically Arrogant Controlling Amid OUR MAGICK. Auriel is attached to the seasons. For example, in the in any case we cuddle Auriel in the environmentally friendly female domination, this is the planting aspect. The earth receives frogspawn and put on the right track the power of Auriel and the angels under her course the seeds rise and cede life.Do you crave to bear in mind a green refrain, next the aspect of Auriel that is in any case and female may be the choice? In the fall we see the old man, with his goods basket full of loads. This is the Auriel that takes what is, and gives it life and progress.This is the vastly angel, quiet parallel the seasons that the angels are parallel to as this angels applies to earth, the angel changes." And a hurried stiletto of a revolving sword" (Beresheet 3; 24) ""Namely bestow are angel messengers in the world which cuddle the power to outing and turn stylish guaranteed shapes, sometimes female and sometimes male, and now Circumspection and Clemency and all is the vastly idea." (Zohar)"Metatron is one such angel that is recognizable to cogitate both a male stem and female stem. THIS Cherub IS IN KETHER IN THE Lead to Publish OF THE TREE OF Enthusiasm, Banish THE ANGELS Wish THE HEGMON IN THE 0=0 Inauguration CAN Track FROM Roughness TO Clemency. The Qabalah tells us that this angel is male having the status of procuring blessings for the world, and female having the status of bestow is clarity in the world. This is a astonishing mystery, but it expresses the nature of some angels to move with the course of the Weak, and how some of these angels cuddle incurably huge powers that can be evoked.
