It is my profound and absolute pleasure to. . .

[stellanoir]

welcome one of my dearest friends and favorite people on the planet to this funky little forum.

WELCOME WICKFORDBARD !!!

I don't even know whether she knows this but I often refer to her to others in conversation as "the story lady."

I've never met anyone who has a better or deeper understanding of myths, legends, and symbolism. She is an ace interpreter of dreams as well as a great astrologer.

Yaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. I'm so pleased you've arrived. :)

Have I now officially embarrassed your entire 12th house?

Hope so.

1. Welcome Wickfordbard

I am glad you're here.:hi:

[I Have A Dream]

2. Welcome Wickfordbard! I am honored to have you here.

:hi:

(And may I be the first to give you a big hug! :hug:)

[stellanoir]

3. whoops now I'm hoping this won't scare her away

after one post.

[I Have A Dream]

4. The welcome thread or my hug?

(My hugs don't usually scare people away... ;))

[stellanoir]

5. Your hugs couldn't possibly scare anyone away.

They are probably a great and phenomenal example of the power of attraction.

I was just was reminded after I posted the OP how unbelievably goofy I felt about my birthday thread a couple months ago.

But that's probably just my Venus retro and wickfordbard doesn't have that nor does she scare easily.

Another spiritual warrioress I swear. I owe her for boatloads of support and wisdom over the past few decades.

Just trying to share the LOVE. :)

[cassiepriam]

7. we did it again

similiar post at the same time....

Both stated Wickforbard doesn't scare easily.
And I do not know the woman, it was just my
impression from your intro of her.

Casstella at work again.

[cassiepriam]

6. LOL

Wicky doesn't sound like she scares so easy...
by hugs or welcome threads......

And I don't think we have lost any one yet from one of
Dream's hugs :)

Of course I am not touchy feely, too many hugs I run
for the woods :(

I can handle a wave...:hi:

[stellanoir]

8. Ride the Waaaaaaaaavvvvvvvvvveeeeeeee

I had a funny conversation with one of "those guys" who is fairly fatalistic shortly after 9/11.

He did accurately predict that the division between the haves and have nots would widen and that what would distinguish one from the other was property ownership.

OMG I didn't want him to be right.

But after I spoke with him I couldn't get "Let's go serfin' now everybody's serfin' now come on and safari with me. . ." out of my head. I was so-o-o annoyed.

Hey how did it get to be casstella instead of stellacass?

Oh I guess 'cause you thought of it first. LOL

[cassiepriam]

10. LOL Because of the s's :)

thought it looked better with s's back to back but we can do it the other way round.
On odd days it is you, on even days it is me. :)

[stellanoir]

13. Odd days "R" me for sure.

Deal.

[cassiepriam]

20. LOL I didn't even notice you got the odd days........

Poor Stella, I have given you the short end of the stick...
your name on the tail end and you get the odd days..

For sure I am gonna testify on your behalf at your karmic board :)

(I still think They had a lot of nerve pulling you off cloud duty
to come down to this pit :( )

BTW did you ever read some of the Matthew books, he says that some clouds are actually entities from another galaxy and they are serving some important energy and environmental work. His point is that
ETS are already among us, doing good and we don't even know it....

[rumpel]

18. wait before you change it to casstella

you do not want to be this


http://www.bunmeido.ne.jp/saikasho/tokusen_ff.html

For 100 years it's a "sponge cake" brand name in Japan, albeit spelled "kastella"

:)

[cassiepriam]

21. Hmmm. sponge cake.

Looks yummy. I love Japanese baked goods.

There is a Japanese bakery in a city about 50 miles from where I live,thank God it is far away or I would be in real trouble.

When we go visit that city I park myself in the bakery and enjoy
all the Japanese delights (I lived in Japan for 4 years as a child, brings back a lot of childhood memories).

[stellanoir]

22. Death by. . .

sponge cake. Who'd have thought it.

Too funny.

[cassiepriam]

36. Oh yes, next to death by chocolate, Japanese bakery the only

way to go....

[I Have A Dream]

9. Yeah, I sensed that way back, cassie.

:hi:

[cassiepriam]

11. Thanks I can handle that :)

And you too Dream keep sending me pms the very same time I am sending
you one, or thinking the same thing.

All your psychic stuff is going to freak me out :)

[TNOE]

12. I love this place

Welcome Aboard!!!

[wickfordbard]

14. Thanks for the welcome

Thank you, Stella, for your intro. I love you too. :pals:

And thank all of you for your most warm wishes - and hugs.

And no, after raising three sons and a daughter or two, I do not scare easily, even with all my 12th house planets! Anyway, they've moved to the first/second house now that I've moved out west.

I really look forward to all your discussions.

}(

[stellanoir]

15. yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

A second post. A cool avatar, two informative links in your sig line, more smilies than I've yet to master, and maybe even a partridge in a pear tree.

Yikes and welcome again dear.

[rumpel]

19. Warm greetings

:hi:

[japple]

27. Welcome, Wickfordbard. Any friends of Stella are welcome

here. Nice to have you join us. Hope you'll be happy in our midst.:toast: Here, have a root beer on me.

[stellanoir]

45. LOL though I love and appreciate your support

you have no idea what you are invoking.

egads.

The people with whom I'm close are totally outrageous.

Wickfordbard is one of the few stable ones.

:)

[SeattleGirl]

16. Welcome Wickfordbard!!!

:hi:

[davsand]

17. Well met, Wickfordbard!

Glad to have you with us! Anybody that Stella speaks so highly of must be pretty amazing, and we need "amazing" all too often!

You just have to be ok with getting called a Moonbat, Woo-woo, or something equally cute on occasion around here. Usually, it doesn't come in this forum--it stays out in General Discussion--so don't fret. If you are as tough as Stella, you'll be just fine!

After you're here for an hour or two we'll show you the secret handshake and teach you the new mantra we learned in one of Stella's threads out in General Discussion!

:woohoo:

Regards!


Laura

[cassiepriam]

23. We are a bit slap happy right now....

Celebrating and enjoying the week.
Our energy has suddenly become much lighter.

Lots of natal 12 h planets, very karmic placement,
I am sure you are aware of that....

Karmic astrology is an interest of mine.

What kind of astrology do you practice? What are
your specialty areas?

[stellanoir]

24. Pardon me for speaking for her

but she's mostly a Jungian and studied in Zurich. Yikes.

Music of the spheres is she.

[cassiepriam]

25. Astrodienst in Zurich perhaps? And with Liz Green?

Very interesting indeed.

[stellanoir]

29. The Jungian Institute

my dear but it's an even day so I humbly differ to you.

[cassiepriam]

32. First trained as a Jungian analyst and then as an astrologer?

Very interesting. Yes she would of course be very good
at dreams and astrological symbolism.

And yikes, you mean I actually have to know the date, and then
determine if it is an odd or even one? And then if I am Cassie or Casstella??

The devil is always in the details :(

[stellanoir]

34. all I can hear is a song from the "Young Adults"

from the early 80s

"Should I wear long pants or shorts. . , ?" Thinking about my future makes me nervous.

It's a complex world so hard for a _________ like me."

[cassiepriam]

35. "It's a complex world so hard for a PISCES like me."

I am the original space cadet. I need a keeper.

And I can only count on my Virgo asc so much,
it is only a sign, not a magician.

[u4ic]

26. Welcome, Wickfordbard!!

:toast:

I look forward to your insights! :D :hi:

[hippiechick]

28. Welcome to our cozy little corner of DU !

:hi: :grouphug:

[Metta]

30. Hi, WFB. Welcome aboard.

Are you good with archetypes, too? :donut: :donut: :hi:

[bliss_eternal]

31. Welcome Wickfordbard!

:hi: I'm so sorry that I'm late to this party. :blush: I got a bit distracted with all of this week's excitement. ;)

Hope that you make yourself at home and enjoy your time here with us! :toast::bounce:

[lildreamer316]

33. So glad to have you here!!

I bet you know LOTS of facinatin' stuff!
Prepare to have your brain picked..and I'm glad you have joined us!!

[wickfordbard]

37. thanks for all your welcomes

You guys remind me of the Mad Hatter and his wild teaparty. Don't ask me why!. Just an image after I read through all the hellos. A combo of whirlwind and jumping from seat to seat. How do you get to a page where all the replies follow one upon the other? Instead of having to open each separate rely.

Oh well, something to learn.

Good night, sweet dreams.:loveya: :loveya: :grouphug: :grouphug: :headbang: :headbang: :yourock: :yourock:

[lildreamer316]

38. Beside the thread title in the group, there should be a

(View All) thing. Click that; then you can scroll and read all the replies at once.
A thread has to have a certain number of replies before the View All function is enabled.

[stellanoir]

39. Mad Hatter tea party indeed

Of all the tales and legends for you to associate that with this group is hilarious to me. Do you want to be Alice. . .?

I always got a kick out of that line from the "Queen of Hearts" "Either you or your head must be off at once."

Glad you didn't flash on the Star Wars bar scene at least.

The "view all" option is next to the title of the thread in red on both the forum page and on the original post. You only have to click it on the threads that have more than 20 responses. Have fun.

Aaand are we running low on scones?

[davsand]

40. Is it the movement you feel here that makes you think of the Mad Hatter's party?

I've always felt that whole tea-party scene must have been simply overwhelming for Alice because of the constantly moving characters there and the continually shifting places those characters were in. I do hope we are not similarly overwhelming for you (or any other new person) here!!

There are a wide array of folks on here at differing places in life. Some of us are working to master new skills, some are teaching those skills, and the roles we play in this community seem to shift and mutate fairly often. As a need strikes people step out--either in seeking or in giving.

The energy is almost always comforting and supportive and for that reason people seem to be pretty open in asking for support, advice or even applause.

Again, I say, Well Met!

[NMDemDist2]

41. we are a bit mad, some of us like hats

and who doesn't like a lovely party with tea, scones and cookies??

welcome aboard wickfordbard :hi:



:pals:

[crikkett]

42. there's a [view all] tag at the page's title.

then you can just scroll down the page.

Welcome!
:toast:

[wickfordbard]

43. I love mad tea parties!

so you are not overwhelming. Just getting used to how it's all done. I love the cheshire cat and Jimmini - where did those icons come from?

I do feel like Alice welcomed to the Teaparty. But it's all good.

I look forward to getting to know all of you individually.

To answer a few questions:

I went to the C.G. Jung Institut in Zurich. Jung's daughter Gert did my astro chart and told me if I didn't get through the Institut I'd make a great astrologer. (Uranus in 1st house in Gemini, Aquarius midheaven) So I studied both. I use astrology with my clients - I get them out of therapy quicker that way. I also use it with my coaching clients - helps them focus.

Anyway, I'm off in a storm (in Las Vegas, it's blowing and might snow up in the mountains) to explore. See you all later.

B-) B-)

[cassiepriam]

44. Thank you for the bio info.....

very interesting! Yes I do imagine combining things
speeds up the therapy process.

Look forward to your insights!
