THE TEMPLE OF THE ASKELIPEA

The temple and Askelipea you are in was built around 630 b.c.e. just after the great storm altared our coast line. The great Oracle told us it was a sure sign to build a new sanctuary to Askelipos. Yes, it is nothing fancy like the one at Epidauros, But it suits are needs and mostly it suits Askelipos' needs. But here, listen to me talk like this. You came here to know of the mysteries of Askelipos and our temple.

Here we practice the same arts as all over Hellas. Hear in the temple we work on the auras and chakras as Hippocrates taught as well as dream interpretation, crystal laying and spells that heal.

HERBAL HEALING


The use of herbs for healing has been practiced since man walked the earth. It was Hippokrates who perfected the art for herbalism in the Western world. Not much has changed since. Alot of knowledge about the art was lost in the 1700=1900's, but it is fortunate that due to the pagans and wiccans of the world them the arts were never truely lost forever. Just hidden. What is truely unfortunate is that todays modern doctors know the full potential of herbs, and knowing that we, the people, can obtain herbs easily have decided to debunk the truth about herbal qualities, just so they can sell us expensive medicine and not loose their job. Of course we can not go into all the practices of each herb here on this sight (the list is to numerous and overwhelming) however below is a list of plants and herbs that are used to heal. You will find that each herb listed has several properies. Please, do not just go out picking these plants up and eatting them! Make sure you know your plants and herbs. Make sure you have no allergic reaction to them. Lastly check back at my Agora page for books on the proper uses of herbs. All herbs have dangerous properties to them, yet those that you should be even more careful about. I have put an * next to. If you do decide that herbalism is for you, you will have to invest in a mortar and pestal, dishes and you might want to invest in growning your own herbs. It may sound costly but it really is not and it is a great hobby to get into. If you do plan on using the herbs for healing you will have to make sure that they are all organically grown.

GEM STONE HEALING

The use of semi precious stone in healing is a rather a modern art, though Hippocrates understood the powers in quartz and lapis lazuli. All stone have a healing property and all work best in different parts of the body.
Before you dive into this healing form, you should know that these stones are very powerful and pick up the energy of all who touch them. Especially if you by them in places like nature stores in the mall. Needless to say, they are full of energy that may be negative. They need to be cleansed and re-awakened. The process is not difficult. Take them home and place them in a glass of salt water for 24 hours is the sunlight, or if the full moon is out, you can do that too. Another cleansing method is passing them through incense smoke. You can do both if you want. Once they are done it is time to re-awaken the. This is simply done by placing the stone in your hand and clap your hads together. If the stone is too big, whack it with a ruler. That is whacking it not clobbering it.You don't want it to break. You will need to know more about caring for your stones when you visit the Acropolis. Below is a list of some general stones healing properties. They are the basics and a good way to start off. Check out the list first then come back here to learn the healing process. Incidently, there are stones to becareful of, they are powerful and should be used by themselves. I have marked them with a (*).

The laying of stones in important in the healing process. First the body must be clean of both dirt and negativity. A bath and a smudging will help that. No the patient will lie on her back. Postition the key stone needed on the area that is need of help. Next take two quartz stones tha have points and place them next to the key stone with the points pointing toward the shoulders or legs. Now repeat this with two more stone, these branching from the first two quartz. Keep this up till it looks like there are two lines of quartz heading to the hands or legs (see diagram to the left). Ok we're half way there. Now come the big part. Start to concentrate on your body energy being a conductor. Feel tha energy grow till you can project it. Now start with the key stone and 'zap' it with healing energy. Push the ill toward the quartz stones. Conduct it thru each stone till in goes out the stone. Repeat this over and over several times. NEVER push the energy towards the head or tail. This will cause worse problems. The head is to compact and complex. A great tool to help you guide the energy is a crystal wand. If you do decide to use one, make sure it is of quartz. All other type will just mix up the energies.Here are some things to keep in mind. Both patient and healer should also be meditating on pushing the energy and healing the body.Always use the shortest route out, if the problem is a sore throat, go for the hands, is the problem is hemmeroids, go for the legs. This way negative energy doesn't linger. Use candles, incense music and colored lights to assist you. Lastly, be patient and let the body heal in the time it needs to. Sometimes the body get sick cause it needs the rest. I have an example to the left by using a staute of Perseus. The patient has stomach cramps, so the key stone is set on the stomach. The other stones sart from the key stone and up the ches and shoulders, into the arms andout the hands. An alternative route can be the legs or even the phallus.

HEALING SPELLS

Before you advance any further in this section, please, we ask the you go to the ACROPOLIS to learn from the great ones on the basics of spell casting. It is dangerous to cast magick spells without knowing what to do. Especially if you never have casted a spell before. Don't worry we will be here when you get back.

Ok. Since you have already studied with the Mystae at the great temple, we will cut to the very chase of the spells. We have listed within the instructions the components to put the spell together. Untill you have mastered the art of spell casting I suggest holding off on casting. For now use these spells as study guides. I have also skipped over the intro's on casting the circle and call and invocations. I have only listed a few. Check with others sites at the Agora and make your own. I have lit a tripod for each spell.

AURAS

Hippocrates did have some understanding to auras, but not ask much as we understand auras today. Hippocrates had understood that all beings created by Gaea had an energy force about them. that this force changes with a persons mood and wellness. He also understood that another can change a persons energy at will, especially if the person is ill, hurt or if the aura is damaged. Yet that was the extent of Hippocrates knowledge about auras. luckily for us that knowledge did not disappear. More-so the knowledge of auras has grown. In 1979, the science community had proven with out a shadow of a doubt that all living breathing creatures of the earth has some sort of aura.

The color of ones aura can tell others how one is feeling emotionally and physically. The hue of the color can also tell how one is feeling. For example: if one sees a pink aura about a person, then one could asome the persone is feeling good about themself. But if the pink is dark in color or faded, then chances are the person is lonily are has been hurt by a loved one.
Not seeing a color in the aura does not mean that there is something wrong. the colors that show up in a persons aura are the immediate feelings that one is going through at that time.

there are times when you see a ray of color zip from the body. This should be noted quickly as to its color. If the color is dirty or faded, then immediate attention should be given to help cleanse that aura.

And how does one clean the aura? meditation, the assistance of crystals, healing the chakras and visualizing and charging the aura back to health are the best ways. The chart below will help you understand the colors that you might see.

CHAKRAS/TOU PATHIKA

hakras are the points in your body that are aligned with your spirtual essences and sences. Each part rules itself. They affect the way we perform each day and can be affected by our daily life.

Called The TOU PATHIKA by the Greeks, they can get "dirty" and worn down. And an old pathika can bring ill health. Pathikas need to be cleansed. this can be done simply by meditating on the pathika in question and feeding it goood healthy energy. By visualizing the pathika as a flower one can see if it is in good health. A brown wilted one needs care fast. However if you are sick, DO NOT do this on your own. That would just add fuel to the fire. Let someone heal it for you.

There are nine pathikas in the hellenic tradition. Each one has its own attributes and capabilities. Each pathika is ruled by a Muse. This muse can help you understand that pathika and tend to it. Follow the chart below to help you out.
