Hello,

First I would like to start by telling everyone that I am Sugar Chevy's husband Craig.

I am writting this message in regards to my wife, I am so very heart broken to let you all know that Tara (Sugar Chevy) passed away 3 weeks ago, on January 24, 2002.

After several operations and many months in the hospital we found out that Tara had stomach cancer. It spread to her bones very quickly and there was nothing that the doctors could do but to make her time left here as comfortable and painless as possible. I can not even begin to tell you how my life has fallen apart without my love. I have had to take care of so many arrangments concerning the wake, funeral, and gathering. I still can not bring myself to get rid of her personnal things. I am 24 years old and never ever, ever expected to loose the one person I love so very much. It's not right and I am having a very very hard time moving on. I still wait for her to come to bed each and every night.

I would like to thank Dark Fortress for writting my wife such lovely emails, even though she never got to see them, I am more than sure she would appreciate the good wishes and get wells that were sent her way from all the people in this Sacred Circle of Witches group. I am going to close my wifes email account, because it is just to emotionaly hard for me to check it. Please say a prayer for my love...........

Forever In Our Hearts

Thank you all
Sincerely,
Craig B. Belanger

Goddess and God, we give you Sugar Chevy into Your keeping. May she rest within Your renewing cauldron until another cycle of life is decreed. Our sorrows come from physical absence. Yet we know that the spirit is not ended at death. It transforms into a different body, to live again in the Otherworld. Lord and Lady, we ask for Your comforting power to fall upon us that our sorrows ease. Farewell Sugar Chevy aka Tara. Go in peace. May our future meetings be filled with love and joy. Go in peace. We love you always!

Blessed beYour Sisters & Brothers

In Loving Memory LUNA, THE SUMMERLAND It was an ancient belief that the Moon was the dwelling place of those souls who had passed from the physical life. Old myths speak of the God, as the Sun, crossing the sky each day and gathering the souls of all who had died during the night. He would then carry them off to the West, and down into the Underworld. Here they were presented to the Goddess (remember, the moon sets in the west too) who then carried them off to the Afterlife World. Aradia called this Realm, Luna.

Today, many Wiccans refer to this concept as the Summerland. Luna is a "place" in which the soul is renewed and revital-ized. It can then become prepared for its next incarnation, or in some cases, for its next "move" up into the Higher Dimensions (when it no longer requires the need for the physical dimension experiences). The Moon is connected to the cycles of Fertility, the Tides, and to menst- ruation. It is not difficult to see why the ancients then linked the Moon to the cycles of Death and rebirth. Old legends spoke of the Moon receiving souls from the physical life, and that the light of the moon swelled with the collective light of their spirit bodies. As the souls returned back into the World, the light of the Moon began to wane. The old teachings say that in Luna, there is communion with those who have gone before us, and that "plans" are made to be reborn among those who we knew before. In a way this also addresses the issue of "Karmic" links and connections. The "portal" to the Realm beyond Life, stands at the Western Quarter. This association was established due to the fact that the Sun and the Moon "disappear" in the West, just as we too, in our time, disappear. The association of a body of Light and the Soul, also seem to have originated with this concept, and the non-physical (yet phy- sical) properties of the Sun and the Moon, as "understood" by the Ancient Peoples. The beliefs of a People, have a powerful impact upon the Astral material, of the Astral Dimension. Within the Astral Plane, thoughts ARE things. So, it is here that the Summerland, or Luna, exists.
