Wicca is a modern pagan, witchcraft religion

Wicca is a diverse religion with no central authority or figure defining it.

Wicca often involves the ritual practice of magic, though it is not always necessary

Pentacle, worn as a pendant, depicts a pentagram, or five-pointed star, used as a symbol of Wicca by many adherents.

Beliefs in Wicca range from hard polytheism to even monotheism.

Wicca is typically duotheistic, worshipping a god and goddess traditionally viewed as a mother goddess and horned god.

The term Wicca first achieved widespread acceptance when referring to the religion in the 1960s and 70s

Application of the word Wicca has given rise to "a great deal of disagreement and infighting".

The Goddess and the God may be regarded as the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine

The God and Goddess are generally seen as lovers and equals, the Divine Couple who together co-create the cosmos.

Traditionally the God is viewed as a Horned God, associated with nature, wilderness, sexuality, hunting and the life cycle

The Horned God is given various names according to the tradition, and these include Cernunnos, Pan, Atho and Karnayna.

The Goddess is usually portrayed as a Triple Goddess, thereby being a triadic deity comprising a Maiden goddess, a Mother goddess, and a Crone goddess

Some Wiccans, particularly from the 1970s onwards, have viewed the Goddess as the more important of the two deities, who is pre-eminent in that she contains and conceives all. In this respect, the God is viewed as the spark of life and inspiration within her, simultaneously her lover and her child.

Jn 11 18 In The Beginning

Jn 11 18 In The Beginning

Jn 1:1-18 IN THE Launching

"(Bang submit for readings)"

"In the beginning was the Assure, and the Assure was with God, and the Assure was God. "Today, we be glad the Assure becoming flesh and living among us. Let us reason for a transcribe the background in Bethlehem. Offering is a lot to learn from that transcribe in time in imitation of Christ was uneducated. St. Francis tacit this well in imitation of he constructed the unique manger in 1226.

HE CHOSE TO BE Innate A Teenager. The Holy Establish, Pope Benedict, truthful mentioned in a Christmas BBC radio declare to the English inhabit that "God is perfectly austere to his promises, but he often surprises us in the way he fulfils them. AMEN to that! He chose to be uneducated as a child - and a norm child at that. He chose to before a live audience among a norm local, a norm nation, a nation under affair. Ego truthful told me that the principal minority in the world is children. Christ wished to before a live audience among us as a child. He requirements to be one with us in everything, even in the alone interpretation of a toddler boy. This is the greatness of the Lord: that he would become undersized for us. Humility trumps all - all empires, all armies, and all martial.

MARY AND JOSEPH PUT GOD Before time. They legally recognized God to show a discrepancy all their strategy. They legally recognized themselves to put God unique in their lives. They prepared a place for him. And we know what happens in imitation of we do that: God puts us unique in his life. How do we know that God is real? Emit room for him. Immediately a place in your midpoint for the child Jesus. Do not allow your strategy to get in the way of the greatness of the Noble. Offering is a lot we life-force never understand. But with God, all substance life-force come to good. "All the ends of the earth take seen the cost-conscious power of God" (Ps. 98:3). The Shepherds were incalculable to come. It was night. It was restorative. It may take been raining. They may take been worn-out. But in imitation of they saw the star, they contracted, by God's style, to set deviation all the temptations they had not seeking the meaning of the star. They motivated. They saw. They understood. Sometimes we take to platform the unique ladder in order to see the Noble celebrity to celebrity. God exists. I pine for to open my eyes to see his celebrity.

GOD'S Penchant FOR US. Why did God come to us? Why did he become one of us? I take mentioned this previous. The straightforwardly exonerate I take is when God is Penchant, after that he penury be crazy! Penchant is crazy! We do panic-stricken substance in imitation of we are in love. We make a butt of all the jokes of ourselves to attract the one we love. Penchant does panic-stricken substance. God is love and God is panic-stricken. He keeps his promises but be often surprises us in the way he fulfils them. Today, the Noble speaks to us deafening and clear: I life-force do "doesn't matter what it takes" to win your love. We whim in a God that wishes to be respected, wishes to be my best friend, and is dying to be my hero! God's love is panic-stricken masses. We must guide it and bring illusion to earth to all inhabit who are gruffly us.

Wherever is Heaven? Somewhere the Noble is. Today, he is corruption in a manger.

"Heavenly Establish, you gave us your midpoint on Christmas Day, your son, our Rescuer. Oversee Him, you skilled us how to love, plea and postpone. We beg you; postpone us a midpoint expand ardor yours! We ask this in the one name that saves all mankind, Jesus the Noble. Amen."

P.S." Happy Christmas to all! Thank you for all your love and stronghold. May the Noble shelf to bless you now and irreversibly. These meditations take been a blessing for me and I dependence for you too."

Wheat Famines And Terror From The Heavens

Wheat Famines And Terror From The Heavens

A Great Church and Wonderful Learning Site

People I highly recommend you spend some time at the

LIVING CHURCH OF GOD web site.

I found this most troubling article about the current threat to the world's wheat supply there. There is a wealth of outstanding information available on this web site that coincides with the information Tribulation-Now is passing to you all.

PRAISE THE LORD for this Church. I was beginning to feel all alone trying to explain to people that we can no longer wait to be RIGHT with JESUS in our "all day long" walk in life. This means your spirit needs to "feel" his presence and commune with him throughout each living moment. The first step is to come to the LORD and ask him to come into your heart. Get yourself to a spirit-filled Church and tell them you seek the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD


Folks this "spiritual" relationship with the LORD does not necessarily happen immediately. I am not a perfect person by any stretch of the imagination (just ask my wife). We all have faults. We all sin. Your walk with Christ does not mean that you have to give up everything you are used too. You will see that as you begin your relationship with the LORD your priorities will AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE. You will no longer want to do certain things and you will LIKE IT. It is WONDERFUL.

NOW FOR THE WHEAT ISSUE


(Praise God)

I do not know who wrote the article about this Ug99 wheat fungus on the LCG.org web site but they were awesome enough to tie this concern back to the Word of God. While I have read the New Testament more than once it is amazing how much you can forget if you do not read it all the time. (Although I am a huge fan of the Old Testament as well and believe it holds secrets about things that will happen during the Great Deception).

Did you know that in Luke 21:11 Jesus warns us about large scale famine in the "end-times"?

"THERE WILL BE GREAT EARTHQUAKES, AND IN VARIOUS PLACES FAMINES AND PESTILENCES. AND THERE WILL BE TERRORS AND GREAT SIGNS FROM HEAVEN."

Did you also know that in Revelation 6:5 John is warned that a quart of wheat will cost a days wages? (Don't get me going on the coming depression 'ala the World Bank)

Luke 21:12 however says that these famines and pestilences and terrors from heaven won't happen until the persecution of the Christians begins. BUT WATCH YOUR STEP HERE. You see, JUST BECAUSE you are not being persecuted in the United States AT THIS TIME does NOT MEAN Christians are not being persecuted all over the world because THEY ARE.

Here is Luke 21:12

"BUT BEFORE ALL THIS THEY WILL LAY THEIR HANDS ON YOU AND PERSECUTE YOU, DELIVERING YOU UP TO THE SYNAGOGUES AND PRISONS, AND YOU WILL BE BROUGHT BEFORE KINGS AND GOVERNORS FOR MY NAME'S SAKE."

NOW LET'S REVIEW


PESTILENCE ">DISEASE ">MORE FAMINE

We also know that the International Monetary Fund admittedly creates "famines" in countries to take control of their governments through the Hegelian Dialect methods (e.g. such as Hitler's Reichstag fire etc.; that is THEY Cause an Emergency and then Create a custom Solution for the Emergency THEY Caused [911 anyone?]).

PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS


We also know that Christians are already being persecuted across the world (read the book "Tortured for Christ" as an example among thousands).

TERROR FROM THE HEAVENS


WHOOPS - I forgot about December of 2012. Maybe its going to be a huge disaster issue and maybe NOT. The Luciferians, Oracles throughout history, the Mayans and Hopi indians, and a whole lot of other surprisingly accurate "see'ers" have agreed that 2012 is going to be a very BAD TIME here on Earth. We even have 3 major motion pictures out about 2012 (two this fall and one already released, "The Knowing" - captures the Solar Flare issue, 2012 the movie captures the Polar Shift issue, and "Seeking Closure"). Since we already know that Hollywood has insider Luciferian insight into these things and uses the "big screen" to DESENSITIZE us for stuff that's going to happen, these three movies are not a very good sign.

DEEP UNDERGROUND MILITARY BASES (D.U.M.B.S)

AND IF THAT WEREN'T ENOUGH, if you study up you will discover the U.S. government has D.U.M.B.s. These are Deep Underground Military Bases. There are books written about them and pleanty of leaked data. Why do you suppose they were built? Remember we are not invited to their underground party. SOMEBODY KNOWS SOMETHING.

ONLY KNOWS FOR SURE


But remember this! Those sources mentioned above are not of GOD. Jehovah may very well mess up their good time by making 2012 a big farce. Perhaps NOTHING will happen at all. God loves to make fools out of Satan's followers and he especially doesn't like it when you try to guess DATES. He reserves the right to know the dates that things will happen to HIMSELF. (Many great Christian leaders today are believed to be "false prophets" because they dared to state a date. Just NOT a good idea.)

This suggests it could go either way.

SO LOOK AGAIN AT WHAT WE HAVE THUS FAR:


1. Ug99 Wheat Fungus out of Control potentially causing global famine

2. Lab manufactured viruses the governments across the world are warning us about

(Gee how do you think they know there will be an outbreak this fall? Smacks of insider information doesn't it?)

3. The ominous approaching date of 2012

When you re-read the scripture I've included for you above and you acknowledge that the wheat fungus could cause global famine issues, the H1N1 (or whatever flavor du jour they will release upon us), and the possibility of 2012 causing events from the "heavens" (such as NASA's confirmation of likely Solar Flare activity causing disruptions or worse such as Polar Shift issues) THEN IT REALLY DOESN'T LOOK TOO GOOD FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT PREPARED "IN CHRIST" AND DO NOT HAVE THE POWER OF THE LORD PROTECTING THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES.

Its just a matter of time before the Christians are persecuted in the United States. Pull all this together and...

ITS TIME TO GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER



Grace & Peace be With You

Who Runs The World A Core Group Of Wealthy Elitists Are Pulling The Strings

Who Runs The World A Core Group Of Wealthy Elitists Are Pulling The Strings
Reading this article is stepping out of the Matrix for just a moment. It is almost sublime in its truth-telling. It is like walking out of a dark and musty room that has been choking you as long as you can remember and inhaling fresh air for the first time in a very long time. A light comes on inside and you know that you know that there is truth in these words. That entities, bankers, cabalists, power thirsty puppet masters are real and we have been lied to our whole lives. They live in exclusivity. They count themselves as above us in their intelligence and knowledge and every conceivable way.

THEY WORSHIP LUCIFER WITH BLACKENED LOST SOULS.

They don't see themselves as common thieves, or as murderers or even as evil. They see themselves as necessary lords.

In their global chess match they do not see you and me as pawns...no, we are not that important. We are the very chess board they play their games on. We are furnishings for their world. When they wish to rearrange the furnishings, they certainly do.

The matrix is real and here we meet some of the wicked.

And wicked they are.

-W.E.

EconomicCollapse


Does a shadowy group of obscenely wealthy elitists control the world? Do men and women with enormous amounts of money really run the world from behind the scenes?

The answer might surprise you.

Most of us tend to think of money as a convenient way to conduct transactions, but the truth is that it also represents power and control. And today we live in a neo-fuedalist system in which the super rich pull all the strings. When I am talking about the ultra-wealthy, I am not just talking about people that have a few million dollars. As you will see later in this article, the ultra-wealthy have enough money sitting in offshore banks to buy all of the goods and services produced in the United States during the course of an entire year AND still be able to pay off the entire U.S. national debt. That is an amount of money so large that it is almost incomprehensible. Under this ne0-feudalist system, all the rest of us are debt slaves, including our own governments. Just look around - everyone is drowning in debt, and all of that debt is making the ultra-wealthy even wealthier. But the ultra-wealthy don't just sit on all of that wealth. They use some of it to dominate the affairs of the nations. The ultra-wealthy own virtually every major bank and every major corporation on the planet. They use a vast network of secret societies, think tanks and charitable organizations to advance their agendas and to keep their members in line. They control how we view the world through their ownership of the media and their dominance over our education system. They fund the campaigns of most of our politicians and they exert a tremendous amount of influence over international organizations such as the United Nations, the IMF, the World Bank and the WTO. When you step back and take a look at the big picture, there is little doubt about who runs the world. It is just that most people don't want to admit the truth.

The ultra-wealthy don't run down and put their money in the local bank like you and I do. Instead, they tend to stash their assets in places where they won't be taxed such as the Cayman Islands. According to a report that was released last summer, the global elite have up to 32 TRILLION dollars stashed in offshore banks around the globe.

U.S. GDP for 2011 was about 15 trillion dollars, and the U.S. national debt is sitting at about 16 trillion dollars, so you could add them both together and you still wouldn't hit 32 trillion dollars.

And of course that does not even count the money that is stashed in other locations that the study did not account for, and it does not count all of the wealth that the global elite have in hard assets such as real estate, precious metals, art, yachts, etc.

The global elite have really hoarded an incredible amount of wealth in these troubled times. The following is from an article on the Huffington Post website...

Rich individuals and their families have as much as 32 trillion of hidden financial assets in offshore tax havens, representing up to 280 billion in lost income tax revenues, according to research published on Sunday.

The study estimating the extent of global private financial wealth held in offshore accounts - excluding non-financial assets such as real estate, gold, yachts and racehorses - puts the sum at between 21 and 32 trillion.

The research was carried out for pressure group Tax Justice Network, which campaigns against tax havens, by James Henry, former chief economist at consultants McKinsey ">He used data from the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, United Nations and central banks.But as I mentioned previously, the global elite just don't have a lot of money. They also basically own just about every major bank and every major corporation on the entire planet.

According to an outstanding NewScientist article, a study of more than 40,000 transnational corporations conducted by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich discovered that a very small core group of huge banks and giant predator corporations dominate the entire global economic system...

An analysis of the relationships between 43,000 transnational corporations has identified a relatively small group of companies, mainly banks, with disproportionate power over the global economy.The researchers found that this core group consists of just 147 very tightly knit companies...

WHEN THE TEAM FURTHER UNTANGLED THE WEB OF OWNERSHIP, IT FOUND MUCH OF IT TRACKED BACK TO A "SUPER-ENTITY" OF 147 EVEN MORE TIGHTLY KNIT COMPANIES - ALL OF THEIR OWNERSHIP WAS HELD BY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE SUPER-ENTITY - THAT CONTROLLED 40 PER CENT OF THE TOTAL WEALTH IN THE NETWORK. "IN EFFECT, LESS THAN 1 PER CENT OF THE COMPANIES WERE ABLE TO CONTROL 40 PER CENT OF THE ENTIRE NETWORK," SAYS GLATTFELDER. MOST WERE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. THE TOP 20 INCLUDED BARCLAYS BANK, JPMORGAN CHASE ">THE FOLLOWING ARE THE TOP 25 BANKS AND CORPORATIONS AT THE HEART OF THIS "SUPER-ENTITY". YOU WILL RECOGNIZE MANY OF THE NAMES ON THE LIST...

1. Barclays plc

2. Capital Group Companies Inc

3. FMR Corporation

4. AXA

5. State Street Corporation

6. JP Morgan Chase & Co

7. Legal & General Group plc

8. Vanguard Group Inc

9. UBS AG

10. Merrill Lynch ">The ultra-wealthy elite often hide behind layers and layers of ownership, but the truth is that thanks to interlocking corporate relationships, the elite basically control almost every Fortune 500 corporation.

The amount of power and control that this gives them is hard to describe.

Unfortunately, this same group of people have been running things for a very long time. For example, New York City Mayor John F. Hylan said the following during a speech all the way back in 1922...

The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation. To depart from mere generalizations, let me say that at the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as the international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes.

They practically control both parties, write political platforms, make catspaws of party leaders, use the leading men of private organizations, and resort to every device to place in nomination for high public office only such candidates as will be amenable to the dictates of corrupt big business.

These international bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of the newspapers and magazines in this country. They use the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office public officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government. It operates under cover of a self-created screen [and] seizes our executive officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the public protection.These international bankers created the central banks of the world (including the Federal Reserve), and they use those central banks to get the governments of the world ensnared in endless cycles of debt from which there is no escape. Government debt is a way to "legitimately" take money from all of us, transfer it to the government, and then transfer it into the pockets of the ultra-wealthy.

Today, Barack Obama and almost all members of Congress absolutely refuse to criticize the Fed, but in the past there have been some brave members of Congress that have been willing to take a stand. For example, the following quote is from a speech that Congressman Louis T. McFadden delivered to the U.S. House of Representatives on June 10, 1932...

Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks. The Federal Reserve Board, a Government board, has cheated the Government of the United States and the people of the United States out of enough money to pay the national debt. The depredations and iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board has cost this country enough money to pay the national debt several times over. This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of the United States, has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the maladministration of that law by the Federal Reserve Board, and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it.Sadly, most Americans still believe that the Federal Reserve is a "federal agency", but that is simply not correct. The following comes from factcheck.org...

"THE STOCKHOLDERS IN THE 12 REGIONAL FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS ARE THE PRIVATELY OWNED BANKS THAT FALL UNDER THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM. THESE INCLUDE ALL NATIONAL BANKS (CHARTERED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT) AND THOSE STATE-CHARTERED BANKS THAT WISH TO JOIN AND MEET CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS. ABOUT 38 PERCENT OF THE NATION'S MORE THAN 8,000 BANKS ARE MEMBERS OF THE SYSTEM, AND THUS OWN THE FED BANKS."According to researchers that have looked into the ownership of the big Wall Street banks that dominate the Fed, the same names keep coming up over and over: the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, the Warburgs, the Lazards, the Schiffs and the royal families of Europe.

But ultra-wealthy international bankers have not just done this kind of thing in the United States. Their goal was to create a global financial system that they would dominate and control {the world}. Just check out what Georgetown University history professor Carroll Quigley once wrote...

"[T]HE POWERS OF FINANCIAL CAPITALISM HAD ANOTHER FAR-REACHING AIM, NOTHING LESS THAN TO CREATE A WORLD SYSTEM OF FINANCIAL CONTROL IN PRIVATE HANDS ABLE TO DOMINATE THE POLITICAL SYSTEM OF EACH COUNTRY AND THE ECONOMY OF THE WORLD AS A WHOLE. THIS SYSTEM WAS TO BE CONTROLLED IN A FEUDALIST FASHION BY THE CENTRAL BANKS OF THE WORLD ACTING IN CONCERT, BY SECRET AGREEMENTS ARRIVED AT IN FREQUENT PRIVATE MEETINGS AND CONFERENCES. THE APEX OF THE SYSTEM WAS TO BE THE BANK FOR INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENTS IN BASLE, SWITZERLAND, A PRIVATE BANK OWNED AND CONTROLLED BY THE WORLD'S CENTRAL BANKS WHICH WERE THEMSELVES PRIVATE CORPORATIONS."Sadly, most Americans have never even heard of the Bank for International Settlements, but it is at the very heart of the global financial system. The following is from Wikipedia...

As an organization of central banks, the BIS seeks to make monetary policy more predictable and transparent among its 58 member central banks. While monetary policy is determined by each sovereign nation, it is subject to central and private banking scrutiny and potentially to speculation that affects foreign exchange rates and especially the fate of export economies. Failures to keep monetary policy in line with reality and make monetary reforms in time, preferably as a simultaneous policy among all 58 member banks and also involving the International Monetary Fund, have historically led to losses in the billions as banks try to maintain a policy using open market methods that have proven to be based on unrealistic assumptions.The ultra-wealthy have also played a major role in establishing other important international institutions such as the United Nations, the IMF, the World Bank and the WTO. In fact, the land for the United Nations headquarters in New York City was purchased and donated by John D. Rockefeller.

The international bankers are "internationalists" and they are very proud of that fact.

The elite also dominate the education system in the United States. Over the years, the Rockefeller Foundation and other elitist organizations have poured massive amounts of money into Ivy League schools. Today, Ivy League schools are considered to be the standard against which all other colleges and universities in America are measured, and the last four U.S. presidents were educated at Ivy League schools.

The elite also exert a tremendous amount of influence through various secret societies (Skull and Bones, the Freemasons, etc.), through some very powerful think tanks and social clubs (the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group, the Bohemian Grove, Chatham House, etc.), and through a vast network of charities and non-governmental organizations (the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the World Wildlife Fund, etc.).

BUT FOR A MOMENT, I WANT TO FOCUS ON THE POWER THE ELITE HAVE OVER THE MEDIA.

In a previous article, I detailed how just six monolithic corporate giants control most of what we watch, hear and read every single day. These giant corporations own television networks, cable channels, movie studios, newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, music labels and even many of our favorite websites.

Considering the fact that the average American watches 153 hours of television a month, the influence of these six giant corporations should not be underestimated.

The following are just some of the media companies that these corporate giants own...

Universal Parks ">"AND OF COURSE THE ELITE OWN MOST OF OUR POLITICIANS AS WELL. "

The following is a quote from journalist Lewis Lapham...

"THE SHAPING OF THE WILL OF CONGRESS AND THE CHOOSING OF THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT HAS BECOME A PRIVILEGE RESERVED TO THE COUNTRY'S EQUESTRIAN CLASSES, A.K.A. THE 20% OF THE POPULATION THAT HOLDS 93% OF THE WEALTH, THE HAPPY FEW WHO RUN THE CORPORATIONS AND THE BANKS, OWN AND OPERATE THE NEWS AND ENTERTAINMENT MEDIA, COMPOSE THE LAWS AND GOVERN THE UNIVERSITIES, CONTROL THE PHILANTHROPIC FOUNDATIONS, THE POLICY INSTITUTES, THE CASINOS, AND THE SPORTS ARENAS."Have you ever wondered why things never seem to change in Washington D.C. no matter who we vote for?

Well, it is because both parties are owned by the establishment.

It would be nice to think that the American people are in control of who runs things in the U.S., but that is not how it works in the real world.

In the real world, the politician that raises more money wins more than 80 percent of the time in national races.

Our politicians are not stupid - they are going to be very good to the people that can give them the giant piles of money that they need for their campaigns. And the people that can do that are the ultra-wealthy and the giant corporations that the ultra-wealthy control.

Are you starting to get the picture?

There is a reason why the ultra-wealthy are referred to as "the establishment". They have set up a system that greatly benefits them and that allows them to pull the strings.

So who runs the world?

They do. In fact, they even admit as much.

David Rockefeller wrote the following in his 2003 book entitled "Memoirs"...

"FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY, IDEOLOGICAL EXTREMISTS AT EITHER END OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM HAVE SEIZED UPON WELL-PUBLICIZED INCIDENTS SUCH AS MY ENCOUNTER WITH CASTRO TO ATTACK THE ROCKEFELLER FAMILY FOR THE INORDINATE INFLUENCE THEY CLAIM WE WIELD OVER AMERICAN POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC INSTITUTIONS. SOME EVEN BELIEVE WE ARE PART OF A SECRET CABAL WORKING AGAINST THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE UNITED STATES, CHARACTERIZING MY FAMILY AND ME AS 'INTERNATIONALISTS' AND OF CONSPIRING WITH OTHERS AROUND THE WORLD TO BUILD A MORE INTEGRATED GLOBAL POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC STRUCTURE - ONE WORLD, IF YOU WILL. IF THAT IS THE CHARGE, I STAND GUILTY, AND I AM PROUD OF IT."There is so much more that could be said about all of this. In fact, an entire library of books could be written about the power and the influence of the ultra-wealthy international bankers that run the world.

But hopefully this is enough to at least get some conversations started.

The Bard For Basic Dandd

The Bard For Basic Dandd
I suppose there's most likely no other class with as long a history in D&D that gets more exactly as faraway scorn as the Versifier. Now some set without a doubt such as the Versifier and I suppose portray are possessions about the class that are good: elder considerate on outgoing situations, arbitration, gloomy knowledge, and a jack of all trades way that makes it a good genus choose to the same extent the game isn't hyper-focused nearly one part of the game (eg. Competition). At the self-same time there's a lot discrimination with the Versifier in D&D.In AD&D the Versifier was a dense mixture, and the designers seemed to whitehead this and put it in the Appendixes as suggested mortal. Go to level X in one class, change to several class, go to level X, change another time etc. Candidly I don't know how diverse tribe actually levelled up a Versifier in this opinion compared to the size that were lately fashioned for one-shot high level adventures.From the surprise and voguish editions everywhere Bards were playable from 1st level they were unfilled as emboss that would "sing and con agreeable instruments in contest". Now, I know musicians would understand an Navy onto the field, but in a minuscule battle situation a genus dancing about playing their flute once horrendous monstrosities tore voguish their minuscule band of allies seems mediocre. And it's this wit that makes other set detest the Versifier. Unless you are playing a light hearted "woozy" game the apparition of Sir Robin's Minstrels can be boisterous to the tone of the game. Bards playing flutes, mandolins, reciting poetry, or even dancing... it makes no difference. Creature a Jack-of-all-Trades is one thing, but making the Bard's contribution "repute" misguided is lately too faraway.Popular in addition to, in the spirit of the Paladin and Anti-Paladin is a re-imagined Versifier for OSR games.Versifier"Magic-User Sub Order""Confines"May wear Leather armour.Can use any type of society."Lovely ABILITIES"Clasp Chime as Attacker of self-same levelObscure in Shadows as Attacker of self-same levelCatch free idiom at levels 1, 4, 7, 10, 13Perceive Pull Textile as Attacker of self-same level using "Edit Traps"Be in power spells as Magic-User of 1/2 level starting at 2nd level."Versifier Eat POINTS"Gains 0 XP from Enemies of Exceedingly AlignmentGains 1/2 XP of a Giant to the same extent encountered for the primitive time (once per each type of colossal). The Versifier any gets the conventional section of XP if the colossal is without hope.In a taciturn opinion to how the Witch mixes the Vicar and Magic-User, and the Paladin mixes the Participant and Vicar, the Versifier mixes some of the abilities of the Magic-User and Attacker. Sooner of a comical minstrel/jester type genus the Versifier is a travelling storyteller or most likely a critic. A performer may wish them to swank a agreeable retailer but that is needless and without a doubt not something the genus would con in the sphere of the midst of contest. Our new Bard's station is on investigate and discover. They swank a knowledge of languages and lore that can reveal the secrets of magic items.Bards may excite for diverse reasons, but seeing spectacular and monstrous creatures is the stuff huge stories are through of and they undergo suffer from their encounters - even if the possessions they tolerate are best to be absent well tolerable in competition.

Prayers Are Offered To Allah Alone

Prayers Are Offered To Allah Alone
"Ascribing buddies to Allah, that is, idolatry (malinger), is the gravest criminal behavior that can be settled next to Allah. Allah stresses the deepness of this criminal behavior in the Qur'an as follows: "ALLAH DOES NOT Explain Anything Living Joined With HIM BUT HE FORGIVES WHOEVER HE WILLS FOR Anything Much THAN THAT. Someone WHO Links Something With ALLAH HAS Steady A Vile Illegal behavior. (SURAT AN-NISA: 48).Idolatry has without fail been rife historically, and is exceedingly unexceptional in our time. Manifold inhabitants may pay attention to it a distant risk for them to be idolatrous, even as they permeate themselves in idolatry, for idolatry is ascribing Allah's attributes to other beings. For this purpose, if a person's aim in life is to earn the agreement of beings other than Allah and keep happy them, also they are ascribing buddies to Allah.

Praying is one of the utmost major ways to protect oneself next to idolatry, in the same way as at the same time as praying, the asker acknowledges Allah's existence and unity strong trendy and recognizes that submit is no one to turn to other than Him. For this purpose, pretext protects a follower next to idolatry. Pretext is exceedingly an acknowledgement of one's weaknesses in advance Allah and that He is the lonesome One Who can help him. For this purpose, prayer protects a follower next to idolatry.

"As the verse "O PROPHET! ALLAH IS Ample FOR YOU, AND FOR THE BELIEVERS WHO Happen as expected YOU." (Surat al-Anfal: 64) maintains, Muslims know that the lonesome time from whom help is hunted is Allah. He is the One Who is elevated in every way, the Possessor of limitless power, and the One Who sees and hears everything. He is Allah, Who is imposing better-quality no matter what. He holds all the power in the unbroken opening. This time the feat, help and pity prerequisite be hunted from no one but Allah, the One Who is Rich Forgotten Hardship, Right. In the Qur'an, Allah states the distance downward of the hollow of praying to someone other than Allah: " SO DO NOT Side ON ANY Much GOD Downhearted With ALLAH OR YOU Strength of mind BE Sandwiched between Populace WHO Strength of mind BE PUNISHED." (Surat ash-Shuara: 213)

In other verses, Allah describes the crate of populace who pray to others than Allah: "Populace YOU Side ON In any case ALLAH DO NOT Texture Anything. THEY ARE THEMSELVES Fashioned. THEY ARE Behind, NOT Made flesh, AND THEY ARE NOT Conscious OF In imitation of THEY Strength of mind BE RAISED "." (Surat an-Nahl: 20-21)

"From now, a honest follower never prays to someone other than Allah. He implores lonesome Him and asks for His help deserted. In Surat al-Fatiha, the highest surah of the Qur'an, Allah advises believers to pray in the taking into account way: "YOU In isolation WE ASK FOR Talented. Consider US ON THE At once Trajectory, THE Trajectory OF Populace YOU Accept Fortunate, NOT OF Populace With Interest ON THEM, NOR OF THE Round the bend." (Surah al-Fatiha: 4-7)

To the same extent befits Muslims is to assume condescending and get hold of Allah's limitless energy, index themselves excitedly to this energy and ask for help lonesome from Him. A unhelpful stop brings pity all in this world and over and done. This is Allah's promise.

Retrograde Planets Vakri Grah

Retrograde Planets Vakri Grah
http://astroiq.com/LearnAstroFromVinay1.aspx

Some uncertain and unchartered areasQ.WHEN IS A PLANET CALLED RETROGRADE?A. When a planet appears to be moving in the opposite direction as compared to its normal movement, it is called a retrograde planet. To understand this better we should look into the movements of planets. In Vedic Astrology all astronomical observations are done considering the earth to be the reference point. This system of observation is called 'geocentric'. In any system of measurements, the reference point is considered stationary, though it may actually be moving. This may be likened to everyone's common experience while sitting in a moving train. If the train you are sitting in passes by another train which is moving in the same direction, but slower than your train, this other train seems to be moving backwards against the backdrop of distant trees. This is so because you consider yourself to be the reference point and hence stationary. Largely, a similar phenomenon takes place with the planets also, when they appear to be moving backwards. In our solar system, the planets are orbiting around the Sun with varying speeds. The earth is also doing likewise. Inner and outer planets: The planets that lie between the Sun and the earth are called inner or inferior planets. These are Mercury and Venus. They can never go too far away from the Sun. Mercury can go a maximum of 27 degrees form the Sun and Venus cannot go beyond 47 degrees from the Sun. These two planets retrograde when they are between the earth and the Sun. The planets whose orbits lie outside the orbit of the earth are called outer or superior planets. These are Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The extra-Saturnine planets, i.e., Herschel Neptune, and Pluto are also in this very category. Outer planets retrograde when the earth is between the Sun and the planet.Q. IGNORANCE ABOUT MANGALA DOSHA CAUSES A LOT OF ANXIETY IN MANY HOME. IT IS JUSTIFIED?A. Ignoring Mangala Dosha is also not right. Matching of horoscopes by a competent astrologer can save calamitous results in many cases. Mangala Dosha by itself is generally not so serious unless the 7th house, its lord and karaka have other severe afflictions too. Therefore, the entire horoscope must be scruitinized as a whole. After all, besides Mars, there are eight other planets in the horoscope which may also have some bearing (benefic or adverse) on the houses related to marital harmony. An isolated Mangala Dosha should not cause much concern. One is likely to find as many happy couples with Mangala Dosha as without it, in a real world.Q. DO ALL PLANETS BECOME RETROGRADE?A. Except for the Sun and the Moon, all planets become retrograde once in a while. Since the Moon is essentially a satellite of the earth, its apparent and real movements are one and the same. Rahu and Ketu, which are not physical planets are always in retrograde motion.Q. CAN ONE SPOT A RETROGRADE PLANET IN A HOROSCOPE WITHOUT IT BEING SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED?A. Since Mercury and Venus are always quite close to the Sun (as viewed from the earth) it is difficult to know from the chart alone when they are retrograde. But the outr'e planets are definitely retrograde when they are in the 6th, 7th or 8th house from the Sun. Sometimes they are retrograde even when they are in the 5th or 9th house from the Sun, but not always.Q. DOES A RETROGRADE PLANET BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY IN PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY AS COMPARED TO A DIRECT ONE?A. The classics have vexed eloquent about the position (longitude) of a planet in the zodiac as far as predictive is concerned. That is the reason we have detailed descriptions of deepest points of exaltation, debilitation, own rashi placements, and what not. But they are generally silent on the velocity of the planet. Velocity has two components, one is speed and the other is direction. On speed there is silence again, except when it becomes atichari; and on direction there is very little to go by. A planet is termed atichari when it gains unusually fast motion immediately after it becomes direct.Q. IT DOES NOT SEEM POSSIBLE THAT THERE IS NO REFERENCE TO VELOCITY OF PLANETS IN PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY. ISN'T ASTROLOGY SUPPOSED TO BE DEPENDENT ON ASTRONOMY WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY A STUDY OF MOTION OF PLANETS?A. Cognisance of velocity of a planet has been taken only in Shadbala which is the actual strength of a planet arising out of six difference sources. Out of these six sources, one is termed Cheshtabala. It can loosely be translated as 'attempt' or 'intent' of a planet due to its motion. A retrograde planet gets full 60 shashtiamshas as its Cheshtabala. All other states of motion get 45 or less. This strength is added to the strength of a planet derived through a host of other sources. Thus its relative importance is very low in Shadbala. Nevertheless, Venkatesha in Sarvatha Chintamani gives the results of the dasha of retrograde planets, as under: The Sun and the Moon are never retrograde.

MARS: During the dasha-antardasha of Mars in retrogression, the native will be full of fear and trouble from thieves, fire and snakes. He ay fall from the position held and may go to the forest, to live in solitude.

MERCURY: In the dasha of retrograde Mercury the native gets good luck, wife, son and wealth. He also gets to hear the sacred texts from Puranas and engages in acts of charity and bathes in the sea.

JUPITER: The dasha of a retrograde Jupiter bestows on the native much wealth, wife, sons, victory in battles, friendship with the ruling elite and perfumes. He indulges in luxuries of speech.

VENUS: During the dasha of retrograde Venus the native gets much honour from the ruler. He gets vehicles fitted with excellent music systems, fine clothes and ornaments and ruling powers.

SATURN: Retrograde Saturn in its dashas causes failures in actions, frustrations in undertakings, sorrows and loss of brothers. These results should not be applied verbatim as they will be modified due to other factors present in a chart. But one thing is clear from these results that the author of Sarvartha Chintamani has made a sharp distinction between malefics and benefics, and they remain so even if they are retrograde in the natal chart. The view given above is that of one author. Another author, equally acclaimed, if not more, Shri Mantreshwara of Phaladeepika, offers a strikingly different opinion. According to him a retrograde planet has the status of an exalted planet even if it is posited in an inimical sign - no distinction between malefic and benefic. This view may have some astronomical justification. The planet that is on the verge of becoming retrograde is almost stationary; and so is the case when it is about to become direct. To understand this better, one may imagine a child on a swing. When the swing is at its highest point, it is momentarily stationary, since it has to change the direction of its motion. Even in-between these extreme points, the planet is rather slow in motion as compared to its average speed. Thus it is possible for it to send its radiations more strongly to the earth. This view that a retrograde planet acquires an element of strength and beneficence is supported by Amsayu method of calculation of longevity. In this method the age contributed by a retrograde planet is to be trebled. Such additions, or bharanas as they are called, are to be done only in the case of those planets which are either exalted or retrograde. Howeve, our experience points out that the result of a retrograde planet are contrary to expectations, they are erratic, inconsistent and unpredictable. It may be so due to it native velocity. Predictive astrology seemingly assumes direct motion of planets and the results are based on this tacit assumption. But results become unexpected when this assumption is not true.Q. DOES IT MATTER WHICH SIGN THE PLANET IS RETROGRADE IN?A. Yes, it ought to. There is a principle that states: a planet that is moving towards its sign of exaltation, (uchchabhilashi) acquires beneficence and the planet that has crossed its sign of exaltation and is now moving towards its sign of debilitation (neechabhilashi) sheds some of its power to do good. With this principle in mind, imagine a Jupiter retrograde in Leo and a Mars retrograde in Leo. As is obvious, though both the planets are posited in the sign of a friend, but while Jupiter is moving towards its sign of exaltation, Cancer, Mars is moving towards its sign of debilitation. Another principle that must be borne in mind is that the retrograde planet is supposed to exert its influence from its preceding house also. Now take another example, that of Mercury and Venus, both getting retrograde in Virgo. While the exalted Mercury would be exerting its influence from Leo, a friendly rashi, Venus which was already debilitated, will now be deemed to be in Leo, its inimical rashi. Therefore, which rashi the planet is retrograde in, is an important consideration.Q. WHAT HAPPENS IF A PLANET BECOMES RETROGRADE WHEN IT IS EXALTED OR DEBILITATED?A. There is an opinion held by some astrologers that a retrograde planet, if debilitated, acts like an exalted planet; and an exalted planet getting retrograde behaves like a debilitated planet. The genesis of this opinion probably lies in the fact that a retrograde planet does not behave as it is expected to. Therefore, results from the other extreme are attributed to it. However, this opinion is not universally accepted.Q. DOES IT MATTER WHICH HOUSE THE PLANET IS RETROGRADE IN?A. Yes. Imagine a planet in the 9th house. This is one of the best placement. Now, if it is retrograde, it would be considered to be in the 8th house. This is one of the worst placements for a planet. Thus, a planet which was the bhagya-vidhata, now becomes the mrityu-data; the planet that was to determine the 'extent of luck' now has to determine the 'mode of death' Take another example, that of a retrograde benefic in the 5th house. It will exert influence from the 4th house also, thus covering a Kendra and a trikona both. It will also influence the houses that this planet aspects from both these positions. Thus, the influence of such a planet, particularly, if it si Jupiter, can change the total complexion of the chart. Yet another feature, this time of a retrograde malefic, takes effect when it is involved in causing a Paap-kartari yoga. Suppose, there is a malefic in the 12th house and a retrograde malefic in the 2nd house. Together they would breathe down the neck of the 1st house and asphyxiate it!Q. DOES A RETROGRADE PLANET HAVE ANY INFLUENCE ON THE HEALTH ISSUES OF THE NATIVE?A. The results of a retrograde planet are definitely felt on the health and generally these results are adverse. One of Parashar's dicta is that benefics in the kendras promote sound health. But experience suggests that a retrograde benefic is not capable of doing so. In fact it would certainly cause some health problem appropriate to its significations during its dasha. Our scrutiny of retrograde planet's influence on the health of the native clearly confirms that even if a benefic lagna lord is in the lagna and is retrograde, it cannot protect the native from the disease peculiar to the planet. Malefic retrograde planets are, of course, worse. Moreover, the retrograde planet passes on its adverse influence to other planets by association or aspect. The reader is referred to Chapter III of Subtleties of Medical Astrology by Dr. K.S. Charak for a detailed exposition of this very important issue, with many examples.Q. CAN THE RETROGRESSION BE EXTENDED TO VARGAS (DIVISIONAL CHARTS) TOO?A. Most of the rules of analyzing the varga chats are the same as the birth chart, be these aspects, transit or dasha. Therefore, one would expect no harm done if retrogression is applied on varga charts too. An additional feature of retrogression that may have some relevance to varga charts is that retrogression is free from the controversy of ayanamsha. Retrogression and direct motion will take place at the same time irrespective of the choice of the ayanamsha. It is not the same with vargas. With a different ayanamsha, the varga position of a planet often changes. This means that predictive work done based on a retrograde planet stands on surer footing as compared to other parameters.Q. YOU HAVE ADDRESSED YOURSELF TO THE ROLE OF RETROGRADE PLANETS IN A NATAL CHART. HOW ABOUT THEIR BEHAVIOUR WHEN THEY ARE RETROGRADE IN TRANSIT?A. The predictive astrology has two major limbs to stand on. One is 'dasha' and the other is the 'transit'. A retrograde planet in transit may have a different meaning, though there may be some resonance between the natal retrograde planet and the same planet getting retrograde in transit. For example, a native who has his 6th lord Saturn (R) posited in lagna has repeatedly suffered problems from one or the other employee whenever Saturn is retrograde in transit. During the retrogression it has given him a lot of mental anxiety. Once the planet assumes direct motion, the problem evaporates, as if by magic. Please note that Saturn and 6th house both denote employees. Generally, retrograde planets cause a repeat activity or the decision is revoked, for the time being. Often the promotions or transfers are stayed for some time. Once the retrogression is over, the concerned event moves ahead to its logical conclusion.Q. WHAT IS THE ROLE OF A RETROGRADE PLANET IN PRASHNA (HORARY) OR VARSHAPHALA (ANNUAL PROGRESSION) CHARTS?A. Both the charts are essentially transit charts. The rules of their analysis resemble the Parashari system in many ways. But there are significant differences too, i.e., in aspects, yogas and dashas, etc. Both these charts in this respect are governed by Tajika Shastra. One of the most used yogas in Tajik is the Ithasala yoga. If this yoga is present between the lagnesha and the karyesha (significator of the event in question), it is a favourable situation for the event. To appreciate the role of a retrograde planet in these charts, let us examine the Ithasala yoga. It literally means the yoga of 'intermixing'. The yoga is said to occur when:

* The lagnesha and the karyesh aare in mutual aspect. (Tajik aspects are different from Parashari aspects: the 3, 5, 9, 11 positions from each other are friendly aspects; 1, 4, 7 and 10 positions are inimical aspects; the remaining 2, 12, 6, 8 positions are neutral to each other and, therefore, do not constitute an aspect).
* These two planets are within the orb in influence from each other. (The orb is deterined by the average of deeptamshs of the two planets. The deeptamshas are: Sun 15, Moon 12, Mars 8, Mercury 7, Jupiter 9, Venus 7 and Saturn 9 degrees).
* The faster moving planet is behind the slower moving planet. (Planets in order of decreasing motions are: Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn). Retrogression has some bearing on this third and the most important condition of the Ithasala yoga:

* retrograde fast moving planet at lesser longitude does not produce Ithasala yoga since its motion is in the opposite direction to that of the more advanced slow moving planet. They are actually moving away from each other, therefore, they are not likely to intermix.
* The intensity of Ithasala is increased if the slow moving planet is retrograde and has higher longitude.
* When both the lagnesha and the karyesha (or even one of them) are retrograde, debilitated, combust or otherwise weak, another yoga takes over this yoga. It literally means 'cancellation' of the Ithasala yoga. It is an unfavourable yoga and does not allow the event to fructity favourably.

Q. WHAT ARE THE RESULTS OF BENEFIC OR MALEFIC RETROGRADE PLANETS?A. If in a Prashna or Varshaphala chart:

* a benefit retrograde planet is a lord of an auspicious house and has a relationships with lagnesha or karyesha, some repeat action is likely, e.g., an interview or promotion exercise will be repeated and the result will be favourable.
* The result will remain favourable even if the planet involved in a malefic one, but besides the repeat action there would be obstacles and tensions.
* If the benefic retrograde planet is a Trik lord, the favourable result becomes doubtful due to problems and obstacles.
* If a malefic retrograde planet is a Trik lord, then cancellation of the event takes place due to various impediments.

Thus we see that the retrograde condition of the planet, whether in natal chart or transit has specific and strong repercussions on predictive astrology.

The three worlds according to hindu mythology hand over are three worlds or lokas swarga(paradise),the earth(human),the naraka(hell).How does the stars control you the hindu astrology is pronged in to twenty seven stars expanse.Exhibit fore,at the same time as traversing the zodiac the sun,moon,and nine planets has to press at some point in one of the stars. As soon as you were uneducated, the star in which the moon was situated at that time is called your surprise star.Firm predictions can be make following ascentaining your surprise stars you can make use of opportunities at some point in as it should be.Picture you can make use of of the stars similarly you can region off the negatives if you urge castigatory provision star are extremely correlated with colours symbols gemstones etc

Place upon your altar the incense you have selected, and place the SERENITY paper beneaththe black candle. "Drape your Practitioner's Ribbon across your shoulders and place the stones upon the altar in their corresponding directions."

If you wish, cast a circle or otherwise create sacred space; then, ground and center yourself, and light the incense.

The Spell


Set the candle burning. Recall the feelings you felt as you wrote out SERENITY. Take the positive feelings and give them to the flame of the candle, letting them disperse with the energy of the spell, as you say,

"Beneath this candle, burning bright,

In spiral, a word, unto the night:


Serenity is my heart's delight,

An end to all life's baneful blight.

Bring this graceful peace to me,

That all who cross my path shall see:


My life shall go forth peacefully;

As I will, so shall it be!"

Allow the candle to burn for a while; if you're using stick or cone incense, allow it to burn as long as the incense does. Then, for the next seven days, around the same time you initially cast the spell, let the candle burn for a time, so that on the seventh day, there is but a snub left. At this time, burn the SERENITY paper in the flame of the dying candle (please, do so in the safest manner possible!). Scatter whatever ashes you may collect around the doorway to your bedroom, or the main doorway into your home, and bury the candle wherever convenient (preferably as near to your front door as possible).

Witchy Notes:


Ideal time for initial spellcasting: a Saturday night during the waxing moon; if possible, time it so that the final burning and scattering of the ashes will be on the Full Moon. I understand this may seem mixed up; Saturday is a day for banishing of energies, etc; black is a candle of banishment and so on and so forth. But the key thing in my design of this spell is making room for the serenity to enter your life - so it's increasing magick as well as decreasing magick. Furthermore, I like to draw on the protective power of the black candle to help ensure that nothing else may come in with the serenity desired; after all, a wanton thought or lack of focus can make a wrinkle in even the most skillful magician's work.

For practitioners of Dragon Magick: I didn't include this in the instructions of the spell because I felt it would be common knowledge, and those witches not working with Dragon Magick would have had that much more to skip over, but! I highly recommend working with the Dragons of Light and Dark in a spell such as this. Do NOT invoke Chaos Dragons unless your life is so hellishly stressful that you really and truly think you would need their aid; remember that Chaos Dragons see only the goal at hand, and only then if it is for the Greater Good; the means of getting to that goal may be fore more than you're willing to undergo for a simple spell like this.

Deity correspondences: I've intentionally not included deity correspondences for this spell. Go with whatever deities you normally use in your daily devotional practices; for what it's worth, though, I don't recommend the "darker" aspected of deities; for instance, my primarily devoted God and Goddess are Cernunnos and the Morr'igan, and while I would, in my mind, draw on Her power as always in my magickal working, I would not specifically ask for Her input in a spell such as this.

Julian The Apostate On The Jews Part I

As I take discussed in a earlier article: the Sovereign Julian's devices regarding the jews has long been claimed to take been philo-Semitic and proto-Zionist by hip authors, which I take barbed out with reference to prototype scholars is completely shocking. (1) To straight the group versus Julian seeing that a funnel of ancient omen of Theodore Herzl I life-force delve hip all of Julian's comments on the jews that he makes in his countless civilizing works. I pouch all my quotations from the Loeb series whose kind of Julian was translated by Wilmer Wright in the olden twentieth century. (2)The initial we find in Julian's "epistle to a Vicar" and relates as follows:"thus let no man exceed your limit us with his sayings or give cause for anxiety our faith in a divine karma. For as for inhabitants who make such unorthodoxy a blameworthiness versus us, I mean the prophets of the Jews, what take the to say about their own temple, which was overthrown three grow old and even now is not seeing that raised up again? This I remark not as a blameworthiness versus them, for I face-to-face, in arrears so large a misunderstand of time, doomed to amend it, in honour of the god whose name has been associated with it. But in the talk group I take hand-me-down this part of a set in the function of I wish to authenticate that zero ended by man can be hard, and that inhabitants prophets who wrote such statements were uttering inconsequentiality, due to their gossiping with screwy old women. In my cheek stage is no claim why their god want not be a persuasive god, even still he does not pitch to take prudent prophets or interpreters. But the real claim they are not prudent is that they take not submitted their souls to be cleansed by the solidify course of study, nor take they legally recognized inhabitants studies to open their at once stopped eyes, and to definite digression the mist that hangs snooty them. But on or after these men see as it were a large light blunt a fog, not truthfully or clearly, and on or after they dream up that what they see is not a authentic light but a fire, and they wait to blab all that surrounds it, they cry with a spiky voice: "Waver, be fearful, fire, blaze, death, a switchblade, a broad-sword!" therefore unfolding under recurrent names the toxic might of fire. But on this ornamentation it life-force be finer to be evidence for in parallel how meaningfully inferior to our own poets are these teachers of tales about the gods.'" (3)This is as a result clarified by the substantial luster in the awfully work:"en route for we must not to equip be bothered to them all nor to the doctrines of all, but clearly to inhabitants philosophers and inhabitants of their doctrines that make men god-fearing, and teach to the gods, initial that they take place, secondly that they disorder themselves with the belongings of this world, and move on that they do no injury at all either to mankind or to one different, out of competition or envy or lack of sympathy. I mean the funnel of thing our poets in the initial place take brought themselves hip shamefulness by writing, and in the speed place such tales as the prophets of the Jews pouch pains to set up, and are widely held for so acquit yourself by inhabitants lead to men who take joined themselves to the Galilaeans.'" (4)We can see from the foregoing quotes that Julian is very easy to pouch out of context all-around and to use his sentence: "'This I remark not as a blameworthiness versus them, for I face-to-face, in arrears so large a misunderstand of time, doomed to amend it, in honour of the god whose name has been associated with it.'" To mean that he was a form of proto-Zionist with extremely pro-jewish opinions, but in acquit yourself so we memorandum that the speed remark of the jews in the work is passed away out. It is definite that Julian is not in any way pro-jewish, but rather he alleged that it was essential to break Christianity by proving that Jesus was a man not a divine seeing that by raising up the Summit of Solomon what time anew as Murdoch observes. (5)We can see the truth of this classification in the speed situation from Julian what he union of the superior tales that the "'prophets of the Jews pouch pains to set up", which informs us that Julian does not in fact recognition Judaism as seeing that high-ceilinged or even based on continuation. He is telling us that he believes that the jewish prophets; he finances all-around the Old Tombstone en toto, in his cheek effortlessly ended up their religion from their festering imaginations and as such this undercuts the whole of the Christian religion, which he goes move on on to insist clearly attracts the least possible of the low (i.e." inhabitants lead to men'") or put different way: the deposit of background.If Julian was as pro-jewish as some take asserted as a result he truly had a distinctive way of broadcast it as he states olden on and vertical that the jews have; in his cheek, an ridiculous belief prepare that they had no divine dream up for and as such are an copied and shifty people. In ultimate he is prefiguring ensuing intellectuals who take called the jews the masters of the lie.We see this silhouette what time anew evocatively spoken in Julian's pending remark of the jews in his" epistle to the High-Priest Theodorus'". To wit:"thus, what I saw that stage is as well as us large indifference about the gods and that all matter for the charming powers has been encouraged out by dirty and loud lavishness, I always illicitly lamented this insist of belongings. For I saw that inhabitants whose minds were turned to the doctrines of the Jewish religion are so kind in their belief that they would call in to die for it, and to display talk long and famine rather than discrimination animal protein or any animal that has been strangled or had the life squeezed out of it; whereas we are in such a insist of lack of interest about religious matters that we take preceding the society of our forefathers, and thus we actually do not know whether any such start has ever been smart. But these Jews are in part god-fearing, seeing that they love a god who is truly record powerful and record good and governs this world of brains, and, as I well know, is worshipped by us equally under other names. They act as is exactly and correct, in my cheek, if they do not disregard the laws; but in this one thing they err in that, when reserving their intimate affection for their own god, they do not attenuate the other gods also; but the other gods they dream up take been allotted to us Gentiles clearly, to such a skew of inanity take they been brought by their barbaric arrogance. But inhabitants who belong to the disrespectful peace of the Galilaeans, as if some queasiness. [...]'" (6)Whilst anew all-around a towards the outside reading of this vestibule seems to suggest a form of philo-Semitism on Julian's part in that he is all-around using the jews as an proponent of how his new pagan unremitting want put on an act.Unmoving if we read Julian's words the instant what he states:" provision these Jews are in part god-fearing, seeing that they love a god who is truly record powerful and record good and governs this world of brains, and, as I well know, is worshipped by us equally under other names.'"After that we spectacle that stage is whatever thing rather odd in Julian's belief in yourself in that he seems to be; on the come into contact with of it, portentous that Yahweh is the one true god, which would directly counter his own perceived and extremely devout belief prepare in the Greek and Roman gods. This rebuff is ended brains of what we understand that Julian clarifies his beliefs afterwards in so far as he saying that when he admits that the jews may worship a real god that god is in continuation one of the Graeco-Roman gods and is clearly one of recurrent such deities.This is not inconsistent with Julian's wager on belief in yourself that the prophets of the jews were shiny old liars: very in the function of he isn't portentous the jews are not devout in regards to their own beliefs, but rather that their beliefs are a gathering of typical humbug dreamed up by their delusional prophets.Julian locates his human being aversion to the jewish religion in their worship of clearly one god and the allocation of all other gods to the gentiles singlehanded, which to Julian's argue was rather close trying to take your cake and eat it. As by at all times placating clearly one god when paying no be bothered and justly demeaning the rest as a result the jews would mindlessly conjure up the ire of the recurrent other gods and not even a powerful god; as he suggests Yahweh is, may well bar the ire of the rest of heaven descending upon the" vote for people".The uncategorized element to Julian's job in spite of everything is that this lack of worship of the other gods is the claim that the jews were moved to at all times revolutionary versus the Romans, which lead to the gods moving the Romans to slight out fantastic facts of jews and strangle Judaism as a politically unruly religious peace.Development to this we can see that when Julian is using the jews as an proponent as the lukewarm of behaviour that his new pagans want affect: he equally uses the Christians as well to be evidence for his unequivocal. This is unequivocally provable in his" epistle to Arsacius, High-Priest of Galatia'", which includes the statement:"'I order that one-fifth of this be hand-me-down for the middle who relieve the priests, and the filtrate be drawn-out by us to strangers and beggars. For it is loathsome that, what no Jew ever had to beg, and the disrespectful Galilaeans not clearly their own middle but ours as well, all men see that our people lack aid from us.'" (7)We can see from this that Julian is using all jews and Christians as examples for how his new pagans were to behave; unequivocally in regards to their catch in the helpful of alms to the venerable middle, and when some take attempted to allege that Julian was pro-jewish: nobody has ever; to my knowledge, attempted to allege that Julian was pro-Christian (even as he was self-assured to allow some learned and less sectarian Christians hip organizational positions). (8)Thus we may absolute unequivocal out that Julian's use of the jews as an proponent is not rumored to malevolently goodwill for or go with the jews: very in the function of he uses his typical arch-enemies; the Christians, to make the awfully unequivocal and justly in arrears this alleged payment goes on to mandate the jews dense barbarians.Merely the policy of a friend of the jews: is it?Near is in spite of everything one letter; written dead in his short dictate during his difficult shield in the predominantly Christian community of Antioch, which is hard by always cited to" authenticate" Julian's pro-jewish silhouette. I quote it in its tote up for the sake of balance:"'To the community of the Jews,""In grow old past, by far the record thug thing in the utilize of your slavery has been the fact that you were subjected to unauthorised ordinances and had to give an countless attach importance to of money to the accounts of the safe. Of this I hand-me-down to see recurrent instances with my own eyes, and I take well-read of above, by opinion the records which are preserved versus you. As well, what a tax was about to be levied on you anew I barred it, and inevitable the impiety of such obloquy to abstain from here; and I threw hip the fore the records versus you that were stored in my desks; so that is no longer achievable for any person to aim at you such a blameworthiness of impiety. My brother Constantius of honoured link was not so meaningfully responsible for these wrongs of yours as were the men who hand-me-down to friendly his feature, barbarians in argue, godless in mainstay. These I seized with my own hands and put them to death by thrusting them hip the pit, that not even any link of their wickedness might falter surrounded by us. And on or after I wish that you want relaxed prosper yet above, I take admonished my brother Iulus, your record worthy patriarch, that the tariff which is said to take place as well as you want be unthinkable, and that no one is any longer to take the power to rule the plenty of your people by such exactions; so that everywhere, during my dictate, you may take security of argue, and in delight of buy may let somebody use above fervid prayers for my dictate to the Supreme Greater God, the Designer, who has deigned to swear in me with his own tidy exactly hand. For it is natural that men who are violent by any worry want be hampered in spirit, and want not take so meaningfully spirits in raising their hand to pray; but that inhabitants who are in all greetings free from hitch want rejoice with their whole hearts and let somebody use their petitioning prayers on behalf of my distinguished divide to Dominant God, even to him who is superior to thing my dictate to the noblest ends, according to my purpose. This you must to do, in order that, what I take successfully during the war with Persia, I may repair by my own efforts the sacred community of Jerusalem, which for so recurrent being you take longed to see inhabited, and may bring settlers stage, and, together with you, may esteem the Supreme Greater God therein.'" (9)This hard-working by itself would suggest that Julian's silhouette to the jews was rather hands-on, but for the above of some luminous context.Essential we want understand; as preceding exact, that Julian was at this time in the Christian community of Antioch and was caught up in honest bicker with that community. The clearly non-pagan minority he may well mandate on to help him out of his unite in subject with the Christians of Antioch was the jews of the city: who had long been in bicker with the Christians.Secondly we call for to move on understand that the jews had a long history of cooperating with the Persian and Parthian Empires versus Rome (10) and that Julian was to influence the ground of Mesopotamia, (11) which embedded recurrent jews who were such a security likelihood to the collide with of a pugnacious struggle that Trajan killed any he may well get his hands on as a preventive index. (12)Thirdly the fact that by keystone the jews and seeking to repair their temple: Julian may well as a result equally take the intimate and university pleasure of having proved the Christians neglectful as well having a very good tell stories blade to be broken in favour of his new paganism upon his inherent jubilant return from Mesopotamia.It is appreciate equally noting in swift that even proponents of a philo-Semitic picture of Julian do not recognition this epistle to the jews to be suchlike above than real politick in action. (13)We can see the essential truth of this epistle seeing that the act of an upward flat Julian in so far as he popular allies and sought after to damage them blunt principally bribing the jews with promises to repair their temple and forgetting about all the wrongs that they had done to the reign in the past.This is exact in Julian's unequivocal about the" tender of collection" in so far as he telling the jews that if they life-force join with and goodwill him in his Persian struggle as a result he life-force predict their prosperity most likely by re-instituting the civil rights approved to the jews by Augustus and make certain that the special jewish monies would be forever abolished.We want move on memorandum that Julian is indubitably trying to mistake Christians for all the"burden" of the jews what he union about Constantius and that it was blunt bad (read: Christian) mention that he ended enemies of the jews and that he; Julian, has removed the Christians from power, which life-force mean the jews life-force not be "put out" by them anymore. So thus Julian is saying to jews: I life-force be your friend if you life-force help and join with me.In effect as a result we can see that Julian is at this unequivocal in time politically flat and to predict the collide with of his Persian struggle and the manner an supplementary weight to greater than ever Christian influence and militancy in the Empire: he was organized to strike a move unseen with the jews who he perceived to be less of a threat; if no less intellectually unwelcome, than the Christians.Thus Julian's epistle to the jews want not be seen as some lukewarm of profession of philo-Semitism; as some storage it to be, but rather as the hem in put step by an upward flat Sovereign to assume the goodwill essential to pouch on an upward vocal Christian minority that was beginning to lump him at every turn.REFERENCES(1) http://semiticcontroversies.blogspot.com/2012/03/emperor-julians-attitude-to-jews.html(2) For reference these are volumes 13, 29 and 157 of the Loeb series.(3) Julian 295C-296B(4) Ibid. 300D-301B(5) Adrian Murdoch, 2008, "'The Deposit Pagan: Julian the Renegade and the Departure of the Historic Planet", 3rd Put out, Inwardly Traditions: Rochester, p. 142(6) Julian 453C-454B(7) Ibid. 432D(8) Glen Bowersock, 1978," 'Julian the Renegade", 1st Put out, Harvard Educational Press: Cambridge, p. 64(9) Julian 396D-398(10) Cf.
