You who make and feed and guide all
creatures of the earth,
Those who move on your firm and radiant
land, those who wing
Your skies, those who swim your seas, to
all these you have given birth;
Mistress, from you come all our harvests,
our children, our night and day,
Yours the power to give us life, yours
to take away.

Biological Informations on the Condor

Biological Informations on the Condor
Vultur gryphus and Gymnogyps californianus

The condor can be found within the Andes, from western Venezuela down to Patagonia. Its habitat is the high mountain-range. The californian condor was once living at the whole western coast of northern america. It is near to extinction (in the 80´s there were being 22 individuals left!). Today 120 californian condors are living, partly in freedom (I think in the californian deserts?).Andenkondor

Taxonomy:
Class: Aves
Order: Falconiformes
Family: Cathartidae
Genus species: Vultur gryphus and Gymnogyps californianus

Fossils of the condor records back in time up to 60 million years. The first Condor possessed an incredible wingspan of 16 foot, thus being named Teratornis Incredibilis - Unbelievable Bird Monster.

The andean condor is measuring 45 to 54 inches, weighing up to 27 pounds and has a wingspan of up to 12 feet (the californian condor: 9 feet). The californian condor possess a black ruff and the andean condor a white one. The typical silver-white coloring of the feathers only the adults possess. The condor is biogenetically related to the stork. The male is larger than the female bird, which is an unique characteristic among the birds of prey. In many regions the andean condor is nearly extinct. In some regions, however, there are plenty of them left. The diet consists of carrion mainly, but the condor hunts down ill or dying animals, on occasion. The female condor has red eyes and the male condor possess a camb. The female condor lays one egg per year and the breeding time is about 54-58 days. The chicks are altricial and nidicolous. They depend on their parents feeding far into the second year. In captivity condors live about 85 years, in wilderness they reach the 40s. They can fly up to 21000 feet and reach a maximum velocity of about 55 km/h. There is something disconcerting about the death of a condor: at the end of its lifespan the condor flies up as high as possible and descends down at a high velocity getting dashed against the rocks of a mountain. The condors preferred to end their life in this tradition for millennias.

How Neo-Pagan Authors Might Handle the Chicken Crossing the Road

How Neo-Pagan Authors Might Handle the Chicken Crossing the Road

Margot Adler: The recent chicken resurgence, it can be argued, is
directly based on a response to the suburban middle class experience.
While I found that chickens-who-cross-roads who responded to my survey
are of a wide range of ages and backgrounds, I discovered some trends
in the "why" of crossing the road. For some it is was freedom. For
some it is chickensim. Many chickens told me they crossed the road for
intellectual satisfaction. One thing is clear: the growth of road
crossing by chickens is expanding in the numbers of chickens and in
the ways they cross the road, including at chicken festivals and for
political blocking of roads.

P.E.I. Bonewits: Real crossing-the-road, we have seen, is a very
interwoven and complicated subject. Our conclusion could be that real
crossing-the-road is the build up of chicken emotion in conjunction
with chicken concepts to vary the modulation of chicken energy so as
to effect the modulation of the road's energy. That's all! Perhaps it
is unfortunate, though, to use the word "chicken" in relation to it,
since the "C" word is being used now in a way it was never used before
in the English language and is an utterly meaningless term without a
qualifying adjective. And this, of course, is the fault of the
medieval Christian Church, through the Gothic Chickens it invented and
used as the basis of persecuting men, women and chickens. The word
"chicken" itself comes from an Indo-European root, "cheeka/e" meaning
"one who lays eggs," and it has no relation to the later Anglo-Saxon
word for "wise spirit of flight," as so often stated by certain
contemporary "Chics." An'Chk'Rrhod ("Our Own Chickens on Our Own
Roads"), an authentic Neo-Chicken Rooster tradition, offers the best
of paleo-, meso- and neo- Chickenism.

Carlos Castenada 4/10/1964: I spent 14 hours, without food or water,
sitting on the dirt and under the sun in front of Don Juan's house,
grinding chicken feed. I asked Don Juan if I could have a drink of
water, and he told me that it was always this way, that a man who
wanted to cross the road with the chicken cannot have any food or
water till the chicken feed is ground. I asked Don Juan if the chicken
is an ally, like the little smoke. Don Juan seemed to get angry and
stayed silent. After I completed grinding the corn, I hallucinated
from heat exhaustion, and Don Juan said I was ready. As I collapsed to
my side, I spilled the chicken feed around me. A chicken appeared to
be eating the feed around me, and I became strangely absorbed in the
vision. I heard Don Juan's voice tell me, "You must let the chicken
cross the road into you. It is very painful, but for a man of
knowledge it is easy."

Scott Cunningham: A chicken passes between the grasses, clucking. The
wind blows, and the chicken knows, knows, that this is the time. She
puts her energy into taking the steps, in harmony with the gravel and
the stones of the road. She is across; it is over, and the chicken
stands in the field on the other side of the road. Natural chicken
crossing is unique among most other branches of the art of chicken
road crossing. It doesn't require years of collecting or fashioning
coops, feeders or hen houses. Indeed, the most important tools of
natural chicken crossing are free: the road, the chicken and you, your
personal chicken power. You're already familiar with it. You've felt
it. You are a chicken. Crossing the road is you, with your chicken
need. And, you can do it on your own. After all, who initiated the
first chicken?

Janet and Stewart Farrar: Since so many editions of Gardner's Chicken
Book of Crossings have appeared in print (some accurate, some not), we
think it won't "lay an egg" too much if we clearly present "The
Chicken Crossing Rite," especially if we do so after two and half
pages of well researched introduction set in six-point type. In
version A of the Chicken Crossing Rite, we find many pseudo-archaisms
(e.g.,"Yea, Ye Anciente Rite of Ye Chiks and Ye Rodes is a moste
powerful Crafting,taking thy athame..."); however, Doreen Valiente
notes (in version C, which is what we present), and we agree, that
underlying it all is a basic ritual for summoning the astral road
through the spirit of the Chicken (drawn down in the person of the
High Priestess, holding the black handled feed bin; of course, a
second degree may assist or perform the rite when.

Llewellyn's Practical Chicken Magick Series: To some people, the idea
that "chickens crossing the road" is practical comes as a surprise. It
shouldn't. The whole idea of Crossing the Road is practical for
chickens. While Crossing the Road is also, and properly so, concerned
with spiritual growth and psychological transformation --the "why" of
crossing the road-- every chicken's life must rest firmly on material
roads. Crossing the Road is the flowering of chicken potential. And
the profits from publishing all those books on how to do so? Well,
that ain't chicken feed.

Starhawk: The chicken crossed the road to reclaim the crossing
experience, the experience of being fully alive, with streams and
earth and rocks and road, in the fullness of her chickenhood after
thousands of years of roosterarchy. The chicken crossing the road
--not a chicken laying eggs, not a chicken being roasted and eaten-- a
chicken strong and free, crossing the road, this is something I can
believe in. We chickens, as chickens, can reclaim this in harmony with
the Earth who gives life to all chickens and Who has been terribly
scratched by roosters. Exercises: Dance the Spiral Chicken.

Doreen Valiente: Old Chicken really did exist, and she really did
cross the road. Gerald talked about her often, but she didn't cross
the road till before I began studying with Gerald. Still there are
records of Old Chicken which confirm her reality. As for all the
comments that Gerald had a "thing" for chickens, that is simply not
true. The reason we worked with chickens is really quite simple: it
worked!

Silver Raven Wolf: Although many times people have asked me why
exactly the chicken crossed the road, I often wonder myself. My point
is that every chicken comes to the road in a different way, and there
is no one correct way for the chicken to get to the road to be
crossed. The study of crossing the road is hard work if the chicken is
going to develop any degree of proficiency. It is not something where
you can just cluck yourself across the road. The first time my chicken
crossed the road was for my chicken's friend, whose rooster was being
abusive. The chicken worked the steps for crossing the road after
carefully considering all the reasons for crossing the road and all
the steps she would have to take. Finally, my chicken just started
clucking and flapping her wings and started across the road. When she
reached the other side, her friend's rooster was respectful!
Afterwards, the chicken ate some corn to ground herself.
