"Monica and William (of Faith and the Muse) have found some 160 acres of land which would serve ideally as a Non-Profit Eco-Animal Sanctuary called Ars Terra. They need OUR help to not only spread the word about this wonderful plan, but they need donations!! So even if you are not able to contribute financially, you can repost this in a bulletin to your friends who may be able to help. Again, this is a NON-PROFIT effort!"
"Ars Terra is a Non-Profit Eco-Animal Sanctuary, the misson and focus of which is to educate the public about Whole Living; the path of living in complete harmony with our environment and all living creatures. Our primary tool to this end is the positive, solutions-oriented holistic design science of Permaculture."What Kind of Soul Are you?You are a Dreaming Soul! Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world...so much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time. You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult. You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you. Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses. Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others. Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life. Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul.What Mythological Creature are you? You scored as Dragon.
Dragon: Now talk about a legend. These magnificent creatures are of many species. Some can be as large as the Earth itself, while others are as small as a mouse. One image that comes to everyone's mind is the large, fire breathing Dragons that loathed humans and loved to sleep on massive piles of gold. Not all dragons have a bad reputation. Most dragons are very wise, caring, and protective. It would make a person very lucky indeed to meet a dragon. Especially if they walked away untouched. I admire your wisdom, for you are the
Ancient Dragon.

Which Tarot Card Are You?

You are the Temperance Card. Temperance is the blending of elements to produce stability. We say that someone is temperate when they are pleasant and easy going. Temperance achieves balance through merging, so a temperate person is one who feels whole. Creative genius is often found in the ability to unite two previously unconnected ideas. Aleister Crowley considers this one of the most important facets of this card and names the card Art. He refers to a generation of a third element out of two previously existing elements. In the same way, the artist has the ability to create a painting from canvas and some tubes of coloured paint. The temperate person is also inclined to think about philosophy. Temperance leads to a calm and rational logic but can also look beyond everyday knowledge for the truth.Are You an Empath?
