Thank you all so much for the extensive feedback via email and Facebook (www.facebook.com/gaiamedia/) on our newly designed goodnews. Unfortunately, social media are not what they used to be. Users are manipulated and posts pre-selected. Politics, first encouraged as opinion leading, are then abandoned as propaganda. Classical media and organisations like ours are applauded and then dropped like they’re hot, only to be spread further at a cost (“for $3 you can reach up to 1,300 users”). And so the carousel of fake friendship changes direction again and again. What to do? To me it is clear that the air of the social media is rapidly thinning, no matter how hard I try to make them work for the gaiamedia goodnews. And that is why I am all the happier about the new design and the regularly updated content of our website www.gaiamedia.org. And about spring – waiting backstage for its turn!
Warmly,
Susanne G. Seiler
Prayer
Give thou thine heart to the wild magic,
to the Lord and the Lady of Nature –
beyond any consideration of this world.
Do not covet large or small.
Do not despise weakling or poor.
Semblance of evil allow not near thee.
Never give nor earn thou shame.
The Ancient Harmonies are given thee.
Understand them early and prove that
you may be one with the power of the elements.
Put behind thee dishonour and lies.
Be loyal to the Lord of the Wild Wood.
Be true to the Lady of the Stars.
Be true to thine own self besides and
True to the magic of Nature above all else.
Do not thou curse anyone
lest thou threefold cursed shouldst be.
And shouldst thou travel ocean and earth
follow the very step of the ancient trackways.
