See in the New Year on the shores of Lake Inari in Finnish Lapland, gazing at the sky and keeping watch for the magnificent Northern Lights. This seven-night holiday provides excellent Aurora viewing potential in spectacular surroundings, as well as the chance to try some of the most popular Arctic activities.
The hotel's location means that the Aurora can often be seen by simply stepping outside but we include three varied adventures in the evenings to enhance your viewing opportunities. In the company of your expert local guides, you will hunt the lights on snowshoes, by car or minibus and will spend an evening on a Northern lights stake-out at a remote Aurora Camp tucked away from any light pollution.
This itinerary offers a great balance between free time and activities. You'll make the most of your holiday, take part in all the key activities, but will still have enough time to unwind so you return home feeling refreshed and revitalised.
Holiday highlights include dog sledding, a visit to a reindeer farm, snowmobiling and a cross-country skiing lesson.
During your free time, you can always explore the nearby village of Inari independently, enjoy some additional activities or perhaps relax in the glass-roofed Northern Lights sauna which is available for guests to use.
We can think of few places in which we'd rather celebrate New Year.
The activities outlined will all be included in your holiday, however, the order of activities listed here is for guidance only, and your final timetable will be confirmed on arrival.

Welcome and Arrival
Upon arrival at Ivalo Airport, you will be greeted by your driver for your transfer* (approximately 40 mins) to Wilderness Hotel Inari.
Here you will check in and enjoy your first meal in the main restaurant which has panoramic windows facing Lake Inari.
You can then collect your cold weather clothing and your Aurora alert. Your hosts will also provide you with your final itinerary, as the order of activities is always subject to change and will be confirmed locally.
We do recommend taking a walk down on to the lake tonight, however, as it really does provide an excellent location from which to witness the Northern Lights.
* Transfers are based on a scheduled group shuttle that sometimes stops at a few nearby hotels. If you would prefer to upgrade to private taxi transfers please ask our Travel Experts for a quotation.
The order of activities listed in this agenda is provided for guidance only, your final itinerary will be provided on arrival at your accommodation.Included Meals: Dinner
Snowshoeing and Aurora Workshop
Snowshoeing is the ideal way to get to grips with the peace and tranquillity of your new surroundings. Immersing yourself in the wilds of Lapland and exploring on foot is a real delight. Your walk will last for around four hours in total as your guide leads you at a leisurely pace. There will also be a break for lunch around a campfire (weather permitting), providing an ideal introduction to Finland's Great Outdoors.
This evening, you will take part in an Aurora workshop at the hotel. This is designed to give you a greater understanding of the Northern Lights as well as some hints and tips with regards to how to capture them on camera. Dinner will be served in the restaurant.Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Husky Safari
One of the most popular activities with our guests is dog sledding, and with good reason. Few activities are as synonymous with the Arctic, nor do they hold such a sense of adventure.
The dogs will be lined up in teams and waiting down on the lake for you. Your guide will give you full instructions and a safety briefing prior to meeting your dogs. You will travel in pairs with one person in the sled and the other driving, you will have the chance to swap halfway.
Once you meet the teams you will set off almost straight away as the dogs will be so eager to get going (they make a lot of noise at this point). Your guide will release your anchor and you'll hit the trails across the lake. Travelling under paw power alone across a frozen lake is not an experience which is forgotten quickly. The safari will last around 1.5 hours in total* and this will be some time at the end to meet the dogs and take photos.
Lunch will be served in the restaurant, either before or after your adventure, depending on final timings.
The remainder of your day and evening are free for you to relax and unwind. Dinner will be served at the hotel and you may want to head down to the lakeshore to keep an eye out for the Aurora before bed.
* Please note that this safari is sometimes described locally as being 3 hrs in duration, but this duration includes lunch (which we include as standard of course).Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Free Day and Aurora Snowshoeing
Today has been left free for you to tailor your time. You can relax at the hotel, take a walk into Inari or book additional activities locally. All meals will be served at the hotel as normal.
This evening, the Aurora hunting continues with a snowshoe walk into the Arctic night. The snowshoes help you walk over the deep snow with ease so you can appreciate the silence and beauty of the wilderness at night. You will follow your guide along snowy trails to reach a brilliant Northern Lights vantage point. Here, you will warm by the fire and enjoy hot drinks as you look up to the sky where hopefully, the Auroras will start to dance. You will be out for around two and a half hours tonight.Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Snowmobile Tryout, New Year's Eve Celebrations and Aurora Camp
Snowmobiles are a vital form of transport in these remote regions and are also an extremely thrilling way to explore more of the wilderness. Today after breakfast, you'll get to experience these powerful machines with a snowmobiling tryout session. You will be given full safety instructions and a driving lesson before following your guide out onto the surrounding snowy trails. You must be over 18 and hold a full driving licence in order to take the controls. You will travel two people per snowmobile and the activity lasts around two hours in total.
After a delicious New Year's Eve meal in the restaurant this evening, the celebrations will continue as you will head out with your guide to one of the Aurora Camps. The camps have been erected in prime Aurora territory by the local team here, who know all the best viewpoints. You will travel to the camp either by snowmobile sleigh or car and the destination will be selected based on the conditions. Warm drinks will be served around a campfire and you can gaze up at the sky in the hope of witnessing a display. This activity will last around 2.5 hours.Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Cross-Country Skiing and Aurora Hunt
Cross-country skiing is one of the most popular pastimes in Finland, and as soon as kids can walk, they are taught how to ski. It seems fitting therefore that you should also give this activity a try. No form of prior experience is required as a full lesson will be given. Once you have all mastered the basics, you take a trip on some of the trails close to the hotel. In total, the activity will last around two hours.
After dinner this evening you will enjoy a minibus/car hunt for the Northern Lights. Using a vehicle means that the guides have the chance to try and outrun any localised cloud cover and find clearer skies. They will consult the local weather and solar activity forecasts and plan the route accordingly. This may mean travelling to an Aurora Camp near the hotel or travelling further afield, depending on conditions. All in all, you will be out for around two and a half hours.Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Reindeer Farm Visit and Free Evening
Reindeer herding was, and is, a very important part of the local economy and culture.
Today you will meet a local reindeer herder who will introduce you to their herd and explain what life is like for a modern-day herder. This activity offers a fascinating insight into this unique way of life. The experience will last for around two and a half hours.
Back at the Wilderness Hotel this evening you will enjoy your final dinner in the restaurant. Tonight is free to spend as you please. If the Northern Lights conditions are favourable, we recommend walking to the frozen lake to see a dazzling display. Alternatively, you might like to add in additional Aurora activities or perhaps enjoy a special Sámi culture themed evening meal, please see the 'Personalise' section for details.Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Today you must head home but hopefully, you'll have a head full of incredible memories to help counter any January blues.Included Meals: Breakfast

Wilderness Hotel Inari
Nights: 1-7
Situated on Lake Inari's shores, Wilderness Hotel Inari is one of the most spectacular destinations we feature. Offering excellent levels of comfort and some serious 'wow factor', it is the latest addition to the Wilderness Hotels owned by our good friends Jouko and Mari Lappalianen.
Importantly it is also slap, bang in the middle of the world's best Aurora hunting territory and the hotel has implemented some innovative Northern Lights features to help maximise your viewing potential.
Wilderness Hotel Inari is ideally located around 40 minutes' drive from Ivalo Airport and just five minutes from Inari Village, which is the centre of Sámi culture in Finland.
There is a variety of accommodation on offer here, including cabins, Aurora cabins and hotel rooms, all of which are separate to (but within very easy reach of), the central restaurant building.
The hotel provides modern accommodation with décor which combines both comfort and charm. A huge amount of thought has gone into creating this very special place to stay.
Hotel Facilities
- The focal point of the hotel is the main reception, bar, lounge and restaurant building. There will be gasps of delight from the moment you walk in and are confronted with exceptional views out towards the lake.
- All meals are served in the restaurant and the quality of the food has been excellent in our experience.
- Breakfast offers a continental selection of meats, breads, cheese, fish and pastries as well as hot options including bacon and eggs. There are fresh fruit and yoghurts to compliment
- A.t lunch and evening meals, an array of fresh salads and a soup is followed by a choice of two main dishes prepared by the chefs. Options will typically include some local flavours as well as international dishes. In the evening these are accompanied by a pudding. Tea, coffee and water are included in your stay and any additional drinks can be added to your bill.
- The restaurant is beautifully decorated, with local art and woodwork creating a great atmosphere. The fantastic north facing panoramic windows running the length of the room offer views out onto Lake Inari. We certainly expect a few evening meals to be abandoned as the Aurora becomes visible during dinner (the chefs get used to it)!
- The bar area is fully stocked so you can enjoy a drink with your meal or relax in the lounge area by the roaring fire.
- Free Wi-Fi is available in the main hotel building and rooms (it is less strong in the Aurora cabins and the log cabins but 3G reception should work on your phone).
- The crowning 'Northern Lights glory' here is the glass-roofed sauna which is housed by the lake in a modified Aurora Cabin. Guests can book the sauna at the reception in hour long slots for private use (free of charge) and so if you strike lucky, you can witness the Northern Lights from inside, which is a very special experience.
Room Type
Hotel bedrooms
The bedrooms are located in two separate buildings around 50 metres from the main building.
Each room has been decorated in a traditional Arctic style with inspiration taken from the local environment. They are around 30m² and have either a queen-sized bed or twin beds. Coffee and tea making facilities are provided in your room as well as either a comfortable sofa or two armchairs. If you can't face being detached from the "real world", the rooms also come with free Wi-Fi. Every bedroom is en-suite and comes complete with hairdryer and toiletries.
These rooms are designed for two people to share but a third person can be accommodated on a camp bed or pull-out sofa (supplements apply).

Other options
Wilderness Hotel Inari - Arctic Chalets
These semi-detached, designer chalets, are a new addition to Inari's range of impressive accommodation options. They are designed to offer couples an air of Arctic luxury in their own holiday hideaway.
The modern interiors are sleek and beautifully designed. Each features a bedroom with an en-suite shower, private sauna room and king size bed. The separate living area is well equipped with a warming log fire, ideal following a day of adventures and the stunning landscape is framed by full-height windows, offering views towards the lake. Each also offers a sofa bed which can sleep an additional two people, but we recommend keeping these chalets for just the two of you.

Wilderness Hotel Inari - Aurora Cabins
With the potential of seeing the Northern Lights above, you won't want to take your eyes off the Arctic sky. Luckily, with the Wilderness Hotel Inari's Aurora Cabins, you won't have to. These amazing structures are all equipped with an expansive heated glass roof to give you unobstructed views of the northern skies at all times. Whether you want to lie back in your bed or on the sofa, you can go on the hunt for the Aurora right from the comfort of your accommodation.
These cosy cabins come with twin beds (which can be pushed together), a sofa or armchairs in the small living area and an ensuite shower room (toiletries and hairdryer are provided). You will also have coffee and tea making facilities. Some of the cabins will also accommodate an extra person on a sofa bed. The cabins are 34m² in size. The Wi-Fi signal isn't as strong in the cabins so you may need to use the main restaurant, or use the time to switch off!
The cabins are between 20 and 50 metres from the main building.
Please note that this accommodation option requires an upgrade supplement. Please contact our Travel Experts for a quotation.

Wilderness Hotel Inari - Log Cabins
These cosy cabins are built in the traditional way, with walls constructed from huge logs and plenty of space inside. The ground floor covers 70m² and the loft area offers an additional 20m².
On the ground floor, you'll find a spacious dining/living room, comfy seating, and a wood burning stove which can be turned to face where you are sitting. There is also the main bedroom with a queen-sized bed. There is also a kitchenette and dining area, although all your meals are provided in the restaurant. The cabins also provide free Wi-Fi although the signal is not strong in all of them. It can, however, be used in the lounge area of the main building if needed.
The bathroom and toilet (hairdryer and toiletries are provided) are also on the ground floor and the cabin comes with the luxury of a private sauna.
The loft area upstairs can accommodate three more single beds and, thanks to the pull-out sofa in the living area, the capacity of these cabins ranges from two to six people (although we would recommend a maximum of 4 adults). They are ideal for couples looking for a very romantic hideaway or for small groups of friends or family.
The cabins are between 15m and 100m from the main building.

Tailor-made holiday group sizes will vary for all activities as will the group size for any additional activities you book.
Minimum numbers required for a holiday to operate
Some of our holidays require a minimum number of participants to operate (as listed in the 'Group Size' section). If your holiday departure has not yet reached the minimum number, you will be told at the time of booking. In the unlikely event that your chosen date is not guaranteed by nine weeks before your scheduled departure date, we will contact you to discuss the available options as per our booking conditions.

Itinerary amendments
The order of activities listed in this agenda is provided for guidance only, your final and detailed itinerary will be provided either with your final travel documents (which are uploaded into your online account around a week prior to departure) or upon arrival.
Medical History and Advice
We want our holidays to be accessible as they can be and will do our best to accommodate any special requests and requirements where possible. We have a wide range of holidays and destinations and so our travel experts will help find the best holiday for you.
In order to give us the best possible chance to do this, we ask that if you or any member of your party has any medical condition or disability which may affect your holiday or has any special requirements, that you tell us at the time of enquiry or booking. You must also promptly advise us if any medical condition or disability which may affect your holiday develops after your booking has been confirmed. You may need to provide a doctor's note and proof of insurance in some cases as the health and safety of our clients is absolutely paramount.
In providing this information you are allowing us to work with our expert local partners to ensure that your whole party can enjoy the holiday. By letting us know in advance we can discreetly work with you to adapt any part of the holiday which may potentially be challenging. Being able to prepare for this in advance makes an incredible difference to what we can offer and minimises any impact on your party and the rest of the group.
Unfortunately, if you choose not to share this information with us in advance then it may limit some or all of the itinerary you have booked, and we cannot be held accountable for any additional costs or missed activities resulting from this.
Insurance is not included in your holiday, but it is a pre-requisite to travelling with us. You will need to ensure that you have cover for all the activities that you will be participating in during your holiday.
It is extremely important that you take out a suitable travel insurance policy at the time of booking. Plans do sometimes change, and you will need this policy should you need to cancel your holiday.

Booking Activities Locally
Additional activities can be booked locally in almost all our destinations. However, as per our booking conditions, we cannot be held responsible for any injury or loss incurred through participation in activities which are booked at your destination outside of our holiday itinerary (see our 'Terms and Conditions' for further details).
When arranging any such activity please always ensure that safety is your primary concern.
In some of our destinations, you can borrow or hire equipment for use in your free time. You do so entirely at your own risk. You must ensure that you are properly prepared, have the necessary equipment and knowledge (maps, etc) and ensure that where applicable, you follow marked routes. We recommend discussing your plans with the local teams who will be able to advise on the most suitable options for you.
Always let the reception/guide know where you are planning to go and take a torch and mobile phone (with the hotel/guide's phone number stored). It is also a good idea to leave your contact number and the time you expect to return to the hotel should the hotel need to contact you.
The UK Foreign Office Advice
Our clients' safety is at the centre of everything we do, and our operations team continually assesses and monitors the destinations we feature. We carry out thorough risk assessments and work closely with all of our suppliers to continually follow best practice. For up to date travel advice the UK government offers its Travel Aware website as well as the advice detailed below.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office Advice
We receive all updates from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) with regards to travel advice and we always ensure that we follow this advice in our operations. The FCO issues travel advisories for countries based on a very wide range of factors. They may provide notification about things as simple as a football match and crowds, or they may go so far as to advise against all travel to a region. We ask all our clients to refer to the relevant Travel Advice by Country for the destinations they are visiting in order to make an informed decision on the safety of the destination based on the details provided. It also provides vital information regarding entry requirements, embassy information, local laws and customs as well as specific safety and health. Guests should take responsibility for keeping themselves up to date with this advice. Please also ensure that, if you are transiting through another country, you have read the advice and meet the entry requirements for that destination too.
The FCO travel advice is applicable to British Passport Holders. Most governments will issue their own travel advice for a region and, if you are not a UK resident then you can find some helpful links below:
Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/
New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade
Canadian Consular Affairs Bureau http://voyage.gc.ca/
The U.S. Bureau of Consular Affairs http://travel.state.gov/content/travel/english.html
If the FCO deems that there is an unacceptable level of risk for UK citizens then, together with the government, they may issue an advisory against all travel to a region or country. If such an advisory is published, then we will act accordingly, and this may require the cancellation, curtailment or amendment of a holiday itinerary. These decisions are made on the basis of ensuring our clients' safety and will affect all clients on the holiday, regardless of their nationality.
If one of our local experts suggests an amendment due to a situation which develops locally then we may also take the decision to amend an itinerary appropriately.
If we have to cancel your holiday prior to departure you will be offered the option of an alternative trip (where any price difference will either be refunded to or covered by you) or a full refund of the monies paid.
If we have to curtail a holiday, then you will be refunded for any costs for the elements we have been unable to deliver, where we have been able to secure a refund from our suppliers. If we must reroute a holiday, then any basis for refund is determined on a case by case basis and dependent on whether the central holiday experience was provided or not.
Brexit information for British Passport holders

Flight schedule changes and connecting transportation
On your documentation, we will confirm your flight schedule. Sometimes the flight number, routing and timings might change prior to your departure. If the change is classed as a significant change then we will contact you to discuss this. Please see our booking conditions for details.
Flight schedule changes can impact on your pre and post-holiday travel arrangements if these have been booked separately to your holiday. We strongly recommend that you do not book transport (such as trains or transfers), car parking or non-connecting flights to the departure point for your holiday until you have received your final confirmed travel times when your final travel documents are issued. We are not responsible for the effect of any schedule change on your pre or post travel arrangements. We strongly recommend that you do not purchase non-flexible or non-refundable tickets to avoid cancellation and penalty charges.
Booking your own flights - cancellation disclaimer
If you have chosen to book your own flights, then you will need to wait until we confirm to you that the holiday departure has met the minimum numbers required to run (if applicable to your chosen holiday). Once the holiday is guaranteed to run, you will be informed and you can then make your arrangements.
If transfers are included in your holiday, please ensure that any potential flights will be met by our standard transfers (speak to one of our Travel Experts for advice) otherwise private transfer supplements may be applicable. Once your flights are booked, please send us a copy of your detailed flight itinerary.
Please be aware that most tickets are non-refundable in the case of cancellation. For this reason, we strongly advise you check the rules of the ticket and check the limitations of your cancellation insurance before booking. We cannot be held liable, in the unlikely eventuality that we should be forced to cancel or amend your trip, for losses incurred relating to any flight booking you have made.

Traveller Reviews
Great holiday, coming again, keep it up! The people on the site were great, friendly and fun to be round.
Excellent trip all round. Expensive but real value for money. Thanks you very much indeed!
We appreciated the effort that was made to allow us to add additional days and locations to the original package. The individual we were dealing with listened to what we wanted and made valuable and helpful suggestions. The holiday was amazing itself particularly the 7 days in Inari. The hotel was faultless and the guides there were truly excellent as were all of the hotel staff. From start…

The Catholic church is the oldest of all the Christian churches. It is their claim that since Peter was the first Bishop of Rome, which, to them means he was the first head of the church, or, in other words, the first Pope. From this they conclude that all succeeding bishops of Rome are likewise the head of the church. But if we look at the documents which this church has produced, we see a very different story.
Over the centuries, the Catholic church has convened what they refer to as "councils" where bishops gather together to discuss various doctrinal issues of concern with the intent of defining what it is the church believes on these topics. These council meetings can last several months and each time they meet they are referred to as a "session." When an agreement on all the issues before them has been reached, they put for a document stating the results of their decisions. Each issue is listed by number and is known as a "cannon." As such, these documents define the official position of the church on the matters discussed. Therefore, let us examine these doctrinal statements and see what it is they believed in the past.
From the first Council of Nicea held from June 19 to July 25, 325 A.D. This meeting was called by the emperor Constantine, not the Pope. If the supreme Pontif (Pontefix Maximus) for the entire church throughout the world was the bishop of Rome why was this council called by the emperor, who was not even a baptized Christian at that time, and probably was NEVER baptized, instead of the bishop of Rome?
Cannon VI of this document reads: "In Egitto, nella Libia e nella Pentapoli siano mantenute le antiche consuetudini per cui il vescovo di Alessandria abbia autorità su tutte queste province; anche al vescovo di Roma infatti è riconosciuta una simile autorità. Ugualmente ad Antiochia e nelle altre province siano conservati alle chiese gli antichi privilegi. Inoltre sia chiaro che, se qualcuno è fatto vescovo senza il consenso del metropolita, questo grande sinodo stabilisce che costui non debba esser vescovo. Qualora poi due o tre, per questioni loro personali, dissentano dal voto ben meditato e conforme alle norme ecclesiastiche degli altri, prevalga l'opinione della maggioranza."
Translated in English this says, "In Egypt, in Libya, and in Pentapolis the ancient customs are maintained by the bishop of Alexandria who has authority over all the provinces; also it is recognized that the bishop of Rome in fact also has similar authority. This is equally so in Antioch and in the other provinces where they are granted the same privilege. More over, it is evident that if anyone is made bishop without the consent of the metropolitan, this great synod establishes (determines, decrees) that such a one shall not be [recognized as being] a bishop."
What this tells us first of all is that there was no such position as a "Pope." The bishop of Rome was just one of many other bishops having equal authority with other large, metropolitan cities such as Alexandria and Antioch. Secondly, it is clearly stated that if someone is ordained as a bishop without the consent of the bishop (i.e., metropolitan) of the main city, this great synod declares that this person's ordination will not be recognized by the church. This clearly shows that at this time bishops received their ordination, not from Rome as is done today, but from other bishops.
Cannon VII reads: "Del vescovo di Gerusalemme. Poiché è invalsa la consuetudine e l'antica tradizione che il vescovo di Gerusalemme riceva particolare onore, abbia quanto questo onore comporta, salva sempre la dignità propria della metropoli.
This reads "Of the bishop of Jerusalem. Since it is already a habit and an ancient tradition by which the bishop of Jerusalem receives particular honor, let him be granted everything consequent upon this honor so that it may always save (i.e., maintain) the dignity of the office of the metropolitan."
This clearly tells us that the bishop of Jerusalem is also to receive a "particular honor". From these two cannons we learn that the council of Nicea had determined that the bishops (i.e., metropolitans) of Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem had equal authority within the church. It also shows that the bishops of these larger cities had authority over their provinces, indicating they operated independently from one another rather than under the direction or at the decree of Rome. This, therefore, allowed the bishops of Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem to solve the problems of their own provinces without seeking authority from Rome. This is evident from the schism that occurred in 1054 when two bishops excommunicated each other.
The FIRST COUNCIL OF CONSTANTINOPOLIS was held from May 1 to July 381 A.D. and was called by Emperor Teodosio I. It met to discuss the divinity of the Holy Ghost and contained four canons. This council was composed of one hundred and fifty bishops.
At the conclusion of the council they wrote a letter which begins: "Lettera dei vescovi radunatia a Costantinopoli a papa Daaso e ai vescovi occidentali. (382) Ai signori illustrissimi e reverendissirni fratelli e colleghi Damaso, Ambrogio, Brittone, Valeriano, Acolio, Anemio, Basilio, e agli altri santi vescovi raccolti nella grande Roma, il santo sinodo dei vescovi che professano la vera fede, riuniti nella grande Costantinopoli, salute nel Signore."
The states: "A letter from the bishops gathered in Constantinople to Pope Damaso and to the other western bishops. To the illustrious and revered men who are our brothers and colleagues, Damaso, Ambrogio, Brittone, Valeriano, Acolio, Anemio, Basilio, and to the other bishops gathered in the great city of Rome, the holy synod of bishops who are true to the faith and are reunited (i.e., gathered together) in the great city of Constantinople salute you men."
From this we learn that it was the Emperor Teodosio I who called this meeting, not the bishop of Rome. Second, it also tells us that the bishop of Rome was not even a part of the council meeting. Whereas the bishop of Rome (a man by the name of Damaso) is referred to in this letter as "Pope" (papa), he had no say in the decision of the council. In fact, this letter was sent to advise him what the council had decided, not to ask his concurrence on what they decided.
More importantly, they addressed Damaso as a brother and a colleague. Whereas the Pope might be considered to be a brother in the gospel sense, he is generally not viewed as a "colleague." Usually, that term is applied to a fellow worker who belong to the same rank or status within an organization rather than someone who holds a superior position of authority. Since today's Pope holds a much higher status than any bishop, archbishop, or cardinal, it is inappropriate and somewhat disrespectful to refer to him as a "colleague." The fact that this letter from the 150 bishops at Constantinople refers to Pope Damaso as a colleague indicates they considered his authority similar to their own. That also seems to indicate that the term "pope" had a different meaning in 382 A.D. than it does today.
In this letter they also informed the bishops gathered at Rome, "abbiamo ordinato vescovo il reverendissimo e amabilissimo in Dio Nettario…. consacrarono vescovo, canonicamente, il reverendissimo e da Dio amatissimo Flaviano, con l'approvazione di tutta la chiesa"
This reads, "We have ordained as bishop the revered and most loved of God, Nettario, (and) consecrated, canonically, as bishop the revered and loved of God, Flaviano, with the approval of the whole church."
Again we see that men were ordained as bishops without first having to obtain the consent or knowledge of the bishop of Rome.
They then wrote, "Vi informiamo, inoltre, che il reverendissimo e carissimo a Dio Cirillo è vescovo della madre di tutte le chiese, la chiesa di Gerusalemme. A suo tempo egli è stato consacrato, conforme alle norme ecclesiastiche, dai vescovi della provincia, e spesso, in diverse circostanze, ha lottato strenuamente contro gli Ariani."
This reads, "We inform you that the dearest Cirillo and beloved of God is bishop of the MOTHER OF ALL CHURCHES (madre di tutte le chiese), the church of Jerusalem. At a suitable time he was consecrated and confirmed by ecclesiastical authority as bishop of the province and often, in various circumstances, he has strenuously contended against Arius [the heretic]."
Here, the church at Jerusalem is identified as "the mother of all church" not Rome and again we see that a man was ordained to be a bishop without the consent or knowledge of Rome.
Regarding the canons of this council, the second one declares: "Del buon ordinamento delle diocesi, e dei privilegi dovuti alle grandi città dell'Egitto, di Antiochia, di Costantinopoli; e del non dover un vescovo metter piede nella chiesa di un altro."
This reads, "Of the good ordering of the dioceses and the privileges given to the great cities of Egypt, Antioch, Constantinople; those who are not a bishop must NOT interfere (mettle) IN THE CHURCH OF ONE ANOTHER."
What this says is that the bishop of Alexandria has the right to preside over the provinces of Egypt, and the bishops of Asia should preside over the provinces of Asia but they do not have the right to interfere or have authority over each other's provinces. In other words, their authority is confined to their own provinces.
From the Council of Calcedonia dated 8 October to 1 November, 451 A.D.
Papa Leone Magno (440-461). (Pope Leo)
Convocato dall'Imperatore Marciano. (Convocation called by Emperor Marcian
Cannon XIV. Chi appartiene all'ordine sacerdotale non può unirsi in matrimonio con eretici.
This reads "Whoever belongs to the priesthood cannot be married to heretics." What that tells us is that priests could be married except to those who were considered by the church to be heretics.
Cannon XXVIII. Voto sui Privilegi della sede di Costantinopoli.
This heading reads "The vote on the privileges of center of Constantinople"
It says: "Seguendo in tutto le disposizioni dei santi padri, preso atto del canone [III] or ora letto, dei 150 vescovi cari a Dio, che sotto Teodosio il Grande, di pia memoria, allora imperatore si riunirono nella città imperiale di Costantinopoli, nuova Roma, stabiliamo anche noi e decretiamo le stesse cose riguardo ai privilegi della stessa santissima chiesa di Costantinopoli, nuova Roma. Giustamente i padri concessero privilegi alla sede dell'antica Roma, perché la città era città imperiale. Per lo stesso motivo i 150 vescovi diletti da Dio concessero alla sede della santissima nuova Roma, onorata di avere l'imperatore e il senato, e che gode di privilegi uguali a quelli dell'antica città imperiale di Roma, eguali privilegi anche nel campo ecclesiastico e che fosse seconda dopo di quella. Di conseguenza, i soli metropoliti delle diocesi del Ponto, dell'Asia, della Tracia, ed inoltre i vescovi delle parti di queste diocesi poste in territorio barbaro saranno consacrati dalla sacratissima sede della santissima chiesa di Costantinopoli."
In essence what this says is that the 150 most devout bishops approved of making Constantinople the new city of Rome second in authority in the church only to the ancient city of Rome. It further decrees that this New Rome will have the same privileges in the church that the ancient city of Rome had and also it is declared that Rome had those privileges because "Giustamente i padri concessero privilegi alla sede dell'antica Roma, perché la città era città imperiale" meaning, "Rightly the fathers gave this privileges to Rome because it was an imperial city!" So the claim that Rome has always been the head of the church because Peter was its first bishop has been shown to be untrue by a document from the very church that makes this claim! Rome was granted the privilege of being first in importance not because Peter was its first bishop but because it was an IMPERIAL city. We know this is true because it is voted upon, agreed to by 150 Bishops and so stated in the official proclamation of this council!
Cannon XXX Gli Egizi sono senza colpa Per non aver sottoscritto la lettera di Leone vescovo di Roma.
It reads "The Egyptians are without fault for not accepting the letter from Leo the Bishop of Rome" Notice that Leo is referred to as "the Bishop of Rome" and not as "the Pope" or "the most Holy See."
It should also be noted that until 787 A.D. all the councils were called for by the ruling emperor, not the bishops and certainly not by the bishop of Rome. In fact, the last emperor who called a council was a woman! This clearly shows who was truly in charge of managing the church. As we look at the dates and circumstances of the following councils this is what we find:
The second Council of Costantinople, the 8th session, dated 5 maggio al 2 giugno 553.
Papa Vigilio (537-555). (Pope Vigilio)
Convocato dall'Imperatore Giustiniano I. (translation: Convened by emperor Giustiniano I)
Third Council of Costantinopoli, dated 7 November 680 to 16 September 681.
Papi: Agatone (678-681) e Leone II (682-683). (Popes Agatone and Leone II)
Convocato dall'Imperatore Costantino IV. (Convocation called by emperor Constantine IV)
Second Council of Nicea, dated 24 September to 23 October 787.
Papa Adriano I (772-795). (Pope Adrian I)
Convocato dall'Imperatrice Irene. (Convocation called by the Emperor Irene)
Fourth Council of Costantinople, dated 5 October 869 to 28 February 870 A.D. This is the first council that was not called by an emperor and it is interesting to note that not one of these council meetings were held in Rome.
The First Council of Lateranense, dated 18 al 27 marzo (6 aprile?) 1123 is interesting because in Cannon 3 it declares "Proibiamo nel modo più assoluto ai sacerdoti, diaconi, suddiaconi di vivere con le concubine o con le mogli e di coabitare con donne diverse da quelle con cui il concilio di Nicea [can. 3] (2) ha permesso di vivere soltanto per ragioni di necessità, cioè: la madre, la sorella, la zia paterna o materna, o altre simili, sulle quali onestamente non possa sorgere alcun sospetto (3)."
This reads "It is not allowed (prohibited, forbidden) for the priests (deacons) to live with concubines or wives which the Council of Nicea forbids, as expressed in Cannon #3. They have permission to live only with, for reasons of necessity, their mother, sister, aunts or other similar women who honestly do not posse any suspicion (of immorality)." It seems clear that in the past priests were allowed to have some kind of relationship with wives or concubines of other people, otherwise there would have been no reason to have a council of bishops discuss the matter and vote on it.
The Fourth Council of Lateranense dated 30 November 1215
Papa Innocenzo III (1198-1216) (Pope Innocence III)
Cannon V. Rinnovando gli antichi privilegi delle sedi patriarcali, decretiamo, con l'approvazione del santo e universale concilio, che, dopo la chiesa Romana, la quale per volontà del Signore ha il primato della potestà ordinaria su tutte le altre chiese, come madre e maestra di tutti i fedeli cristiani, la chiesa di Costantinopoli abbia il primo posto, l'Alessandrina il secondo, quella di Antiochia il terzo, quella di Gerusalemme il quarto, ciascuna col proprio rango; così che, dopo che i loro prelati hanno ricevuto dal Romano pontefice il pallio, simbolo della pienezza della loro dignità pontificale, possano lecitamente dare a loro volta, quando sia stato prestato loro il giuramento di fedeltà e di obbedienza, il pallio ai loro suffraganei, ricevendo per sé la professione canonica, e per la chiesa Romana la promessa di obbedienza."
This says, "Renewing the ancient privileges of the patriarchal centers, we decree, with the approval of the holy and universal council, which through the disposition of our Lord, that, after the church of Rome, which has primacy (supremacy) over all other churches, like the mother and master of all faithful Christians, the church of Constantinople has the first position, Alexandria is second, those of Antioch is third, those of Jerusalem is fourth, each maintaining its own rank, and after the prelates have received from the Roman pontiff the pallium, the symbol of the fullness of the dignity of the office of the pontificate, they can lawfully give their time when they have given their guarantee (i.e., oath) of fidelity and obedience, the pallium can be given to the suffragans when they receive it by a canonical profession and by the church at Rome, their promise of obedience."
Here we have a big change. As we have already seen, the church at Rome was first in importance, with the church at Constantinople being the second most import in authority. (Think about this. The city of Constantinople was built 400 years after Christ and yet it is in second place just because it was an imperial city) Alexandria was in third place, Antioch was in fourth place, and Jerusalem, the mother of the all churches, was in last place!!!!! And all of them now must give honor to the church at Rome. If you go to the first council held in Nicea you will see that the order is completely different. Back then, the churches of Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria and Jerusalem were all equal. By 1215, however, all of these churches have come UNDER the authority of the pope.
Cannon LIII "Di chi dà a coltivare ad altri le proprie terre per frodare le decime." This reads: "There are those who cultivate the land (i.e. property) to swindle or cheat paying their tenth." "Le decime" means "one tenth" which is what the word "tithing" means. Therefore at this point in time, it is clear that the Catholic church observed the principle of tithing !!!! In fact, there were a series of rules that governed who was to pay tithing and on what.
A little later on in this same cannon we read: "In alcune regioni convivono popolazioni che, secondo i loro riti, non usano pagare le decime, pur essendo cristiane." This reads "In some regions there are people that, according to their beliefs, don't pay tithing even though they profess to be Christian."
Cannon LIV Le decime devono esser pagate prima dei tribute." This reads: "Tithing should be paid before taxes."
Cannon "LV Nonostante i privilegi, devono esser pagate le decime delle terre che si acquistano" This reads: "Not withstanding their privileges they must pay their tithing on the land they buy."
Cannon "LVI Un parroco non deve perdere le decime a seguito di intese private" reads, "A priest shouldn't lose the tithing because of a private interest."
From the Council of Costanza, dated 5 November 1414 to 22 April 1418. "45 sessioni. Composizione del grande scisma. dimissioni del Papa romano Gregorio XII (1405-1415) il 4 luglio 1415; deposizione del papa del concilio di Pisa Giovanni XXIII (1410-1415) il 29 Maggio 1415; del Papa avignonese Benedetto VIII (1394- 1415) il 26 luglio 1417. Elezione di Martino V l'11 novembre 1415. Condanna di Giovanni Huss. Decreto sulla supremazia nel concilio sul papa e sulla periodicità dei concili.
This tells us that the 45th session was composed of the Pope of Rome (Gregory XII), the Pope of Pisa (Giovanni XXIII), and the Pope of Avignonese (Benedetto VIII). That means there were three different Popes at this meeting!!! Either that or the title of Pope (papa) was commonly used to distinquish other bishops besides the one at Rome and did not have the same significance that it does today.
As we have seen, from the very documents by which the Catholic church defines its beliefs, the bishop of Rome was not always in charge of directing the affairs of the entire Catholic church. Nor was there ever any claim that it should be because of Peter being its first bishop. Instead, its authority came from the fact that it was an imperial city. Likewise, the authority of other bishops was based solely on the economic and political importance of the city they presided over. The larger the city and the more influence it had on the culture of society, the more authority was given to its bishop. It wasn't until 1215 A.D. that the bishop of Rome was known as the pontiff and that all other churches and bishops were required to swear an oath of loyalty and obedience to him. What this means is that for the first one thousand years of its existence, the Catholic church had no pope as we know it today.

Dr. Shanker Adawal
It is observed that people are very much afraid of tamsik type of spells because they are performed to harm others. Rather they are considered more difficult than the Satwik ones and are performed by the tantrics.
Numbers of spells
There is no number fixed for totkes because these are done on daily basis as a part of ritual whereas tonas are having a fixed number which is to be performed as per the direction. Basically tonas are directed by some practitioner and performed under his/her guidance.
It is seen that there is always an apprehension in the mind of the common man that there is some particular age for practicing such type of practices. According to us such practices could be performed by any one who has attained proficiency in such practices. However, tonas are performed under the guidance of some perfect persons because it is seen that they may have devastating affect over the practitioner of the native.
It is seen that due to some unavoidable circumstances the native has to skip the spell he is performing. For example, the native has been asked to light a lamp under the banyan tree for twenty one days but on the twelfth day he has to go out of station for some work. Now the native has to start the spell from first and the eleven days will not be included in it. However, these eleven days will not harm the native. Females have been given liberty in this regard. If a woman has to perform the spell and in between she runs through the menstruation cycle, she can skip those days and start the spell further. It may be kept in mind that if some is facing hurdles while performing the spells then he should check whether the act he is performing is against the nature. If that is so then he should skip that spell and should not perform the same.
Types of spells
A spell could be performed in six manners as per the need of the native. They have be divided into six parts as per the requirements.
1. Shantikaran: - The literal meaning of shanty is peace but in this context the shanti word refers to destruction of sickness, cure of diseases and warding off the malefic influence of planets.
2. Vashikaran: - Vashikaran means under the influence and control but in this context this rite is undertook by the devotee for making a person do as was bidden by preceptor. In other words it could be said that one can control any woman, man, officer minister, devta, soul, animal etc., and can gain according to his wishes.
3. Stambhan: Stambhan is a rite for stunning or it is intended to prevent some activity of some on in view or check persons as mentioned above to stop acting him.
4. Vidveshan: - Vidveshan is hatred. The purpose of this act is to bring split and mutual ill well between two friends.
5. Ucchatan: - The literal meaning of Ucchatan is driving away. It is used to dislodge someone from his state. It deals with the distraction of mind of enemy and other persons so that they may remain away from their country, birth place, residence, home an family members etc. It also deals with when the practitioner requires one to remain at war with others.
6. Maaran: - Maaran means killing. These are death persuading spells through which any body can be killed.
Right time
Every act has its assign time for performance. We will have our breakfast in the morning, lunch in the noon and dinner at night. Likewise these practices have been assigned some time by the scholars in the field. It is observed that most of the practices are started during Shukal paksh (bright half). There are different auspicious times for starting these spells as told in our classics. To get best out of the spells one should follow the right time in right spirit.
While performing the spells one should take the help of astrology for complete perfection. Besides the normal astrological remedies there are some remedies which are done by us to propitiate the planets. It is seen that people are donating mustard oil and iron on Saturday to propitiate Saturn because Saturn governs a lot of things in our life. If this remedy is done during 7 ½ years cycle of Saturn it will benefit the native. He should start it on the first Saturday of Shukal paksh.

If you like your torture movies tight, twisty and decently executed, then "Pledge" is for you. There's nothing particularly innovative about its systematic abuse of three nerdy college freshmen seeking membership in any fraternity that will have them. But the director, Daniel Robbins, is willing to move beyond the tease of his setup to deliver a ringing indictment of popularity as the cheese in a deadly mousetrap.
After multiple, humiliating rush-week rejections, Justin (an excellent Zachery Byrd), David (Zachary Weiner, who also wrote the script) and Ethan (Phillip Andre Botello) are approached by a slinky coed (Erica Boozer) who invites them to a mysterious off-campus mansion. A night of wild partying with half-dressed honeys and a slew of sexual and pharmaceutical favors persuades our grateful geeks to return for an initiation ceremony. You don't have to be an Eli Roth fan to see where this is going.
Shooting mostly indoors and at night, the cinematographer William Babcock conjures lighting that you'd typically find in more expensive features, adding a baleful glaze that distracts from the story's soft spots. An economical, 78-minute running time keeps the gore and sadism at manageable levels, and a fishhook ending hammers home the movie's "What price brotherhood?" theme.
Easing smoothly from light comedy to sweaty terror, the three leads strive to transcend their beta personas. Their cultlike adversaries, on the other hand, rarely breach toxic-rich-kid stereotypes: obsessively groomed, suit-wearing martinets with perfect bone structure and an affinity for branding irons. Their recipe for rat soup, though, is a keeper.


text: Born in Cardiff, Wales on March 2, 1934, humourist and social critic Colin Partridge came to Victoria in 1968 where he taught Literary and Film Studies (1968-98). With Trafford self-publishing and CATALYST he has published various works of poetry and prose: Thunderbird (1979), The Civil Disturbances (2000) and Moonshine Sketches of a Small Campus (2001). The title story of ten stories in The Civil Disturbances ($12) concerns the Scrabble Club at the Croak Bay Seniors Centre. A sophisticated satirist, Partridge offers stories such as 'The First Pocklington Squibb Memorial Lecture' in a dry, bemused style reminiscent of Robertson Davies' social commentary.

Retoy is a social enterprise dealing with the recycling of children´s toys while at the same teaching awareness about the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Accordingly, Retoy aims to teach children about their rights and about sustainable consumption by giving them an opportunity to exchange toys with other children instead of buying new. The business idea is simple: it´s better for the environment if children recycle their toys instead of throwing them away. Furthermore, playing is something that unites children, anywhere and everywhere, which makes toys and games an excellent tool for children to practice and learn about sustainability. If everyone on this planet were to consume energy and resources like today, it would require three planets, not one. An average Swedish child consumes approximately 536 toys during its childhood, which is a scary indication of an unsustainable consumption pattern adults encourage and pass on to children. However, this pattern can be broken by changing people´s perception on consumption and sustainability in a new and innovative way.
Retoy thus uses the curiosity and creativity in children to awaken the understanding that everyone can be part of shaping and playing the way to a better world. Through playful and joyful activities, children get to experience how much fun it is to be environmentally conscious while at the same time learning more about their rights. Consequently, they will develop an excitement of bringing home new recycled toys without reinforcing a devastating model of consume and discard.
Additionally, by teaching awareness about the Convention on the Rights of the Child (i.e. all children´s rights to play under paragraph 31), Retoy wants to ensure that the next generation of consumers become aware of the relationship between their actions, the lives of others and the global ecosystem. Retoy believes that if children recognise their rights, and understand how they can live these rights fully while respecting the rights of others, they will be equipped to make better choices in the world that they shape.
Retoy was founded by Soledad Piñero Misa in 2011 in the legal form of a joint-stock company and a foundation. Since its establishment, it has reached over 500 000 children through various playing activities and educational workshops throughout the country. Moreover, more than 24 000 children have donated and swapped approximately 65 000 toys with each other sparing the environment of nearly 200 tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
One of Retoy´s many activities and workshops consist of so called "Retoy Labs" providing the opportunity for children to create their own toys using recycled material from old and damaged ones. To make the labs sustainable, Retoy actively removes toys that contain dangerous chemicals. In this respect, parents to the participating children need to use a checklist where they declare that recycled toys are safe. The recycled material have thus been carefully sorted out not to expose the children to any health risks. On this basis, the labs facilitate for the children to practice sustainable consumption while at the same time increase their knowledge of their rights as children. Each lab is led by trained pedagogues and involves children aged four to ten. Retoy Lab is currently conducted in connection with various preschools around the country. In 2014, the labs involved 1900 children and 40 trained pedagogues.
In addition to the labs, Retoy offers second hand toys to newly arrived refugees.
