After the first session ended we talked about some sort of altar for the Goddess. That happened and after our first session we were discussing ways that people could participate. Here is what I sent out to the group and thought maybe some of you would like to participate. It is such a stressful time and some were commenting on how difficult it all is. Maybe making a prayer flag might be a way to find comfort. Well,here is hoping all are well and finding ways to cope. </div><div><br></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Prayer Flags for the Goddess Altar

prayers out into a beleaguered world sounds like a healing thing the goddess
would embrace right now. Below is Jane LaFario’s beautiful explanation of
the prayer flag. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">How to Make Prayer Flags </span><b><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">July 24, 2018 </span></b><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">by <a href="https://www.clothpaperscissors.com/?iwtauthor=jane-lafazio" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><span style="color:rgb(0,148,198)">Jane LaFazio</span></a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:16.5pt 0in;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><span style="font-size:15pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51)">Prayer Flag Project: On a Mission of Hope, by Jane LaFazio</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.25in;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51)">The tradition of hanging prayer flags is
ancient, dating back thousands of years to India and then to Tibet and
Buddhism. I’ve always loved the Tibetan prayer flags that you often see hanging
in people’s yards and on their porches. The most common prayer flags are block
printed with Buddhist imagery on a rectangle of loosely woven, brightly colored
cotton, and strung together in groups of 10. They are always in the same five
colors and hung in the same sequence. A little research informed me that the
colors represent the five basic elements and should always be hung in order,
from left to right. Blue signifies space, white: air, red: fire, green: water,
and yellow: earth. This type of prayer flag is sold commercially throughout the
world.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.25in;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51)">I often purchased prayer flags and hung them
outside, not thinking too much about their purpose, other than that they were
pretty and it made me feel good to see them. Then, my online friend, Vivika
Hansen DeNegre, posted a notice about starting The Prayer Flag Project, and invited
people to join her in making prayer flags as a “living, breathing, kinetic
journal of our hopes, dreams, and concerns.” I signed on immediately.<br>
<br>
The definition of a prayer flag, in this context, is a piece of cloth
approximately 5″ × 8″ that is decorated with an image(s) and/or text that has
special meaning to the maker. Making and hanging the flags is a way of speaking
an intention out loud and expressing it visually, tangibly—a way to keep the
important things in life within view. The flags hang outside for a period of
time, and I love how they fade and tatter as they are affected by the wind and
rain. ...<br>
<br>
I remember learning in high school that we breathe in a considerable number of
molecules that once passed through Leonardo Da Vinci’s lungs, and I’d like to
believe that the wishes on my prayer flags, carried by the wind, will be shared
with others in much the same way.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.25in;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51)"><br>
