APOLLONIUS von Tyana in Kappadozien,
neupythagoreischer Theosoph, Wanderprediger
und Magier, * um 3 n. Chr. in Tyana, †um 97
vermutlich in Ephesus. - Der Neupythagoreer
Philostratus verfaßte nach 200 im Auftrag der
Julia Domna, der Gemahlin des Kaisers Septimius
Severus, eine 8 Bände umfassende Biographie des
A. v. T., einen religiös-philosophischen
Tendenzroman ohne historischen Wert. Er
zeichnete das dem Geschmack seiner
synkretistischen Zeit entsprechende Idealbild
eines mit Wunderkräften ausgestatteten
vollkommenen Weisen - bewußt oder unbewußt -
als Gegenstück zu dem biblischen Christus der
Kirche. Der Statthalter Hierokles (†nach 308)
von Bithynien und spätere Präfekt in Ägypten,
ein heftiger Gegner des Christentums, vergleicht
Jesus und A. v. T. miteinander und weist dem
heidnischen Wundertäter die unbedingte
Überlegenheit zu. AAIP SLIOWOF LLATA EEG PATIA WOOT
The methods used in summoning the face in the mirror are even more diverse than the names. This is probably because these could change more rapidly with a participant's whims or pure convenience. A friend of mine said when she was growing up she had heard that Bloody Mary would only appear on a Friday. When I asked her if this was some part of the legend or why she thought this would be the case, she said it was probably just that the party she was at when she was told this had been held on a Friday. Consciously or unconsciously, children can and do modify the details to best fit their situation.
The two most common elements in the ritual are the mirror in a darkened room and repeating a chant a certain number of times. In about a third of the cases the words only needed to be spoken three times, although five, ten, 13 and 100 times were also popular.
Saying the words only three times doesn't at first glance seem like it would lend itself to much suspense, if scaring each other were one of the motivations involved. But once you've seen a group of boys throw a helpless younger child into a darkened bathroom and scream "Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary!" before the kid could escape, you realize that having to repeat the words any more times than that would take some of the fun out of it. Even the strongest and meanest kids can only hold the door shut for so long before the pure panic of the trapped child would be too much to handle.
On the other end of the scale, chanting anything 100 times in a darkened room seems only like a sure way to put people to sleep. At least you could be certain that anyone who finished the whole thing was very determined to have something, anything, happen for their trouble, even if they had to fib a little about what they experienced.
The words that must be recited vary quite a bit. In many cases you just use the spirit's name. In others you would say, "I believe in Mary Worth," "I don't believe in Mary Worth," "I hate Mary Worth," "Bloody Mary, come to me," or even "Bloody Mary, I got your baby" in those versions where the legend mentioned someone either killing or running away with her child. You might also be able to use the words "Bloody Mirror" or "Hell Mary." Sometimes the invocation was reciting the Lord's Prayer backwards.

Jim and I met on the Internet in July of 1997, while I was recovering from lung surgery. We chatted on Mirc as well as email and ICQ for over a year before we got up the courage to meet face to face. And what a meeting it was!! I already knew I loved this man from the inside out.....seeing the love he had for me in his eyes just confirmed my feelings for him even more. In October of 1998, he moved to Tennessee from Georgia, bringing his Red Lory Parrot, Gabby with him. We were married in Springfield, Tennessee on February 26, 1999.
I guess the old saying that wisdom comes with age is true....now that I'm older and more mature, I realize the things I'd over looked and misunderstood in my earlier years. Most of all, I realized how very short our lives can be and that even though it may sound silly, we really do need to stop and enjoy the simple things in our lives, for those are the things that bring meaning to our lives.
On February 9, 2001, after less than 2 years of marriage, a very special Angel was sent to deliver My Jim to Heaven. His last breath was felt upon my lips and his last words were, "I Love You." Everyday, I still feel his Love and Thank God for allowing me to share Jim's life and death with him.

Chakra Six:
Light, Archetypal identity, oriented to self-reflection
This chakra is known as the brow chakra or third eye center. It is related to the act of seeing, both physically and intuitively. As such it opens our psychic faculties and our understanding of archetypal levels. When healthy it allows us to see clearly, in effect, letting us "see the big picture."
