Robin Williams

Robin Williams-
Master of Laughter, Master of Tears, Master of Smiles~
Robin Williams
July 21, 1951 - August 11, 2014
Good afternoon my dears, Friends and Followers I have a sad post for you all today as many of you
probably already know about the pasting of the Great Actor Robin William that we all lost sadly Monday Aug 11 2014. It seems that Robin was found, by the Marin County Sheriffs Office, the officer that found Williams 63, was suspended with a belt around his neck. He was clothed and rigor mortise had set in. Police said that the actor was found by his assistant in a seated position in his home north of San Francisco. Police radio traffic from the initial 911 call reported the death as an apparent suicide by hanging' A statement by the Marin County Sheriff's Department in California said: Susan Schneider revealed her husband had died by relieving this statement~ 'This morning I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one if its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I also found a statement that the President had made that I thought you all might like to hear too ' It was quite touching I thought:  'Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president a professor , a bangarang Peter Pan and everything in between . But he was on of a kind.
The Smile That I will always Remember that
made me Smile and laugh
Robin Williams 
He arrived in our lives as an alien - but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit.'He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most - from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets. The Obama Family offers our condolences to Robin's family, his friends, and everyone who found their voice and their verse thanks to Robin Williams'.   
Last night I had started this post , but it got to late for me to finish so I am hear today to honor the Great Actor that we all lost and loved. He was one of my very favorites because he could always make me smile and laugh even when I was really down.  Robin McLaurin Williams was
born July 21, 1951, studied briefly political science before he enrolled at the Juilliard School to study 
theatre. This is where all the magic began. After Robin left Juilliard he performed in nightclubs and was discovered for the role of of Mork on an episode of Happy Days in 1974 and the in turn the spin-off Mork & Mindy was born in 1978. Williams' wild comic talent involved a great deal of improvisation which following in the footsteps of his idol Jonathan Winters. Robin also proven to be an effective dramatic actor and received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in Good Will Hunting in the year 1997. He even played Hamlet which few have the opportunity to do as Actors,
Robin Williams 
Kenneth Branagh's version in 1996. But mostly I remember Robin Williams as a stand-up comedian,
sitcom lead, movie star and occasional stage actor covered an astonishing breadth that rivals that of 
any contemporary performer. I remember his first creations you could say Mork from Ork and I would watch that show faithfully. and Mrs. Doubtfire Wow that was a amazing movie too. Love it when he did animation for Disney too. And his most powerful one was the Genie in the Animated 
Aladdin The Genie 
"Aladdin. I can't image anyone else doing that character. The way he embrace that Genie. Of course he has done so many other moves bothe funny, drama and cartoonish too. Some of this were; Popeye,
The World According to Garp,Insomnia, One Hour Photo, The Night Listener, Bird Cage and the upcoming film Boulevard with the mainstream uplift like his films 'Awakening and Dead Poets Society. And of course Good Will Hunting that he won a Oscar.  Robin won two SAG AWARDS, SIX Golden Globes Awards , Plus Six Grammys. He also co-founded with Billy Crystal and Whoopi Goldberg the Comic Relief Charity which I think they put together in the 80's which they raised lottttttttttttttttttts money of charity and I truly loved watching those shows. I remember watching them all the time and I would laugh and laugh with all three of them and Robin was truly a giving soul. Those to me were the best times , I don't know if he was having problem at the time, but even if he did he never showed his pain, he just gave and gave, laughter and joy to everyone . He had a beautiful heart, soul, and mind and I will miss him so much.  I will always remember him with a smile 
when I am feeling down because like myself I too suffer from deep depression and anxietys for years..
And we all have to do something before we loose all our our kind funny souls like 
Robin William who I believe had his problems with some sorts of depression. I have collected a few
images that I hope you will like to remeber Robin...














Alway we will remember you Smile and laugher 












Love you all Wendy:o

CELTIC DRAGONS

CELTIC DRAGONS-
Green Celtic Dragon
IN THIS POST I AM GOING TO EXPLORE THE CELTIC DRAGON. 
In someways I can relate more to these dragons more because of my Scotland  heritage, but
there is alot more to it I soon discovered as I began to read and research on the CELTIC DRAGON.
I first found that the Celtic Dragons are associated with the elements of life, as the Celtic People 
would call it. Let me try to explain. Each Dragon is associated with an element of the Earth - Air for 
an example is a masculine ruled element. Each dragon symbolises the union of the beneficial elements of
either the element water, air , earth and spirit. The Elder Spirit is associated with the aspect of the 
old Man element as  part serpent and part bird. Each of the elements are governed by a specific energies 
and special qualities which are ruled by either the feminine or masculine aspect of the divinity of the 
Celtic Dragon. I hope I haven't lost you my dears, friends & followers:o? The fiery breath of the GREEN DRAGON is believed to be purify and give new life. So in the world of the Celtic Dragons the Green dragon is the most highest and purest of all other kinds or types of dragons..
This would make perfect since to me because the ancient Celtic people truly believe the ways of the
earth and the elements of the earth too. So it would make since that the Celtic Dragon would be that of
the same and the most important of all the dragons would be green like that of the green Earth.
Celtic Dragons 
It is said in the ancient Celtic times that the Celtic Dragon was a symbol of wealth and was also associated
with the element of powers of Earth, but not what you might think? It is not just Treasures or magick powers,
it was a much greater power - the power for the Subconscious mind. Yes these dragons could read or some even could control ones thoughts...The Celts also believed that the dragons were creatures of the parallel world and their power and presence would affect the ley of the land. Also it is said that the path of the dragons is called a vein, which was a
critical to their flow of energy to the ley or the land. If ever there was an spot in the lands in ancient times where the dragon would have stopped to rest, that would have became a spot of heightened power.
As they do at Stonehenge, many people feel that these is one of these place. It could be the fact that every year that so many people come there just to feel the energy of the summer solstice the longest day of the year. I thought I would add a bit of history of the summer solstice and what it means to Stonehenge if anyone hadn't heard the tale or history behind it.. The Summer Solstice is celebrated all over the world, but it seems that the Energy at Stonehenge in England is quite rare. It is an Pagan & Christian Celebration that all pay homage to the sun, not so much because it is considered a deity, but because for man is undoubtedly the main source of life. It seems for a few days at a certain point , the sun will rise and set in the same position.
Red Celtic Dragon
The sun will gradually do this between June 21 and 22. Of course this been going on since ancient times, people have realized these changes and they have celebrated with various festivities.
So what exactly happens with the sun? Its the change of the direction that the sun happens to take between the month of June 21 to 22 and it will stay on the horizon for those 2 days. As it was hailed the beginning of a new period of life. This day, is known as the summer solstice, and is still remembered and and expected every first day of summer June 21. Indeed, even though we believe that the summer begins, after the longest day which is represented by June 21, the sun begins to set, resulting in the gradual shortening of the days.
I also found that originally only a pagan Celebration is now a Celebration for widespread cultures of many
beliefs that come together on an ancient belief on the motion of the sun. Kinda interesting how all our cultures
Celtic Dragon
and beliefs have put aside our differences  to just love the joy of life of the Sun Energy, for the one day the Summer Solstice. I think its kinda cool, because Stonehenge was dated back in 4centuryBC.
Well back to the Celtic Dragon - These dragons have always been associated with the Power of the land
of mostly Scotland & Ireland. And Even today in many esoteric rituals people believe that the invoking Eye!
of The Celtic Dragon 'The Eye of the Dragon' will increase their personal power as a person individual.
It is said that the ancient Druids believed that the Earth itself was like the body of a dragon & they would
build their sacred stone circles upon the 'Power Nodes' of this body. They (the Druids) believed dragons connected with us by mean of thee Earth's magnetism and its healing waters too. So in so many words
the Celtic people truly believe that the Earth and the oceans, lakes and marsh lands were all part of these
magnificence creatures that I truly believe as I am sure some of the people of Wales, Ireland and Scotland still do that the Celtic dragons are still living deep within their lands.  When doing my Reading on the Celtic Dragon I have come on the Mysteries words such as 'ley'. I have used it a couple of times and thought I should explain what it means.. So what it means is the relation to the location of mystical sites such as Stonehenge or even the mysterious crop circles that are seen all over the world. What you many not know is that another way of saying 'ley lines is 'Dragon lines'.. I hope I have confessed you all completely.. 'ley has other names too; such as the Land. In ancient Celtic Ireland, they would use ley of the land' as a term of describing how the cosmic forces would flow through and influence their lands, as well as how the areas itself was affected by those Cosmic forces. And the 'ley of the land' was thought to be the Dragons who had
Celtic Dragons 
a tremendous influence on their lands, hence the term 'Dragon lines'. So there you go I hope I was able to explan the acient ways of the ley and the Dragon lines in a way that you all could understand my dears:o
Of course the Celtic dragons were revered like Gods, and were believed to bring Earthly and Heavely forces
together. The Celts also belieived dragons guarded the gate to both the Heavens and the Underword.
As guardian spirits who protect the Earth and all living things, the Celtic Dragons are arguably the most
powerful of all the Celtic Symbols. I hope that you
Enjoyed the Celtic Dragon and i was able to explain some of the parts ok.. I love you all very much
and I hope you all are having a lovely weekend.
Much love to you all. my dears Friends & Followers
You are the best and always in my thoughts hugs:o

Japanese Dragon Ryu

Japanese Dragon Ryu-
In this post I will be covering the Japaneses Dragons and how they are similar in ways to that 
Japanese Dragon Ryu 
of the Chinese Dragons, but are more serpentine in shape plus they have only the three 
claws on each foot rather that the 4 to 5 claw foot. These Dragons are said to fly less frequently but I will 
read-up on that to see if that is true for all the Japanese dragons. I did discover that the reason the Japanese
Dragons only have the three toes/claws is because of the Japanese believe Eastern dragon originated in their  
native homeland. The people of Japan believed that, when the dragons began to leave the homeland,
they gained toes. The further the dragons went from their home Japan, the more toes they gained. Which 
would explained why the Chinese and Korean Dragons have more toes. And that is another tale to be told another day. The Mythological history of the Asian dragon traces back its roots back to India before the 
birth of historical Buddhism in the year 500BC, and has its foundation in a belief in Naga, meaning human- like creatures who wore crowns or serpents on their heads. How the Ryu Dragon however, was said to be 
imported into japan from china together with Buddha around the mid-6 century AD. Most Japanese Zen 
temples have the Ryu Dragon painted on their ceilings or their assembly halls since it the Ryu Dragon is a 
protector of the Buddhist law. The Japanese Ryu Dragon is a creature of harboring - many different aspects 
coming together as one within the imagery of the Irezumi. The Ryu dragons are associated with the Japanese Buddhism, but the dragon is also able to control storms and rains, and this ability makes the Ryu dragon a symbol of fertility as well, since there can be no good rice harvest without the proper amount of rain. 
The Ryu Dragon also has the ability to shape-shift as well and is well known when one delves deeper into the 
Japanese Dragon Ryu
mythology surrounding. The Ryu is quite handy with his magical proprieties too. It is also said that the Ryu Dragon had associated with many of Buddhas thru the ancient times and with well known historical figures in
the Japanese Culture... One of these famous Cultures is called ' Dragon rising to the heavens'. Basically the story or tale goes Ryu sho ten ' A dragon rises out of smoke near Mt. Fuji, ascending toward the sky.'
  I have also found that the Japanese dragons are diverse legendary creatures in the Japanese mythology and folklore. Some of these myths were that of the amalgamate native legends with imported stories about dragons from china, korea and india. Like these other Asian dragons , most Japanese dragons are water deities  that are associated with rainfall and large bodies of water and are typically depicted as large, wingless, serpentine creatures with clawed feet. 
 It is said the most famous of all the Japanese dragons is the Tatsu or Ryu which is a descendant of a primitive three -toed variety of Chinese dragon. This Japanese dragons are traditionally associated more with the sea than the rain. This is because Japan is less vulnerable to drought-related disasters as compared to China. Therefore they didn't feel the same need to pray to rain - releasing dragons.
Japanese Dragon Ryu 
I also found out that the Ryu Dragon was 
originated from Buddhist religion and is one of the four divine beasts from Japanese mythology. The other three beings were the Phoenix, Turtle and the Kirin. If you didn't know the Kirin was its the Japanese Unicorn - and If you are interested in learning more about this amazing creature I have actually written a post on this beautiful Creature... Just have a look on my labels under Japanese Kirin.. Anyway back to the post. It seems that that these for divine Creatures of Japan are frequently the emblem of the Emperor of the ancient Japanese times.  The Dragon Ryu is said to Rule the water of Japan. And there is tale about the dragon Ryu or Ryu-jin,  the most well known dragon in Japanese legend. It kinda goes like this; the Ryu Dragon is summons a storm by howls and then transforms into a huge tornado. I found that the Ryu Dragon is very popular in japan because it is an bringer of fortune and wealth and can be used as a good luck charm if one chooses to do so. I found that many people now in modern times have used the Ryu Dragon as a good luck, 
fortune and wealth in the form as tattoo's.
DRAGIN KINGS- were the Ryu Dragons of Japan... These dragon deities were teachers of Buddha and the propagating his teaching. They would honor the Buddha texts, as they lived in the water and had the 
power to control the rain. I found is some of the stories of the Ryu dragon they would demand the Buddhist 
treasures, especially the relics in exchange for quelling thunderstorms. In their kingdoms beneath the sea they guard treasures, such as jewels, and the Buddhist texts. When an termed is up for an Dragon Kings Ryu, they may appear independently in paintings or they many be shown in groups or as attendants to the Buddhist deities.The link below will show you even more on the legends & Mythology of the Japanese Dragons. I hope that you all Enjoyed the Ryu Dragon of Japan..




I love you all So very much my dear Friends and Followers 
And I hope Your all have a wonderful Friday...
