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.

A Loudoun Minister Inspires Loyalty From Followers, Anger From Ex-Members With Torn Lives and Moral Pain

By Michelle Boorstein


Washington Post

Rob Foster was 16 when his family unraveled.

He had told his parents that he wanted to leave Calvary Temple, the Pentecostal church in Sterling the family had attended for decades. But church leaders were blunt with his parents: Throw your son out of the house, or you will be excommunicated. And so that December two years ago, Gary and Marsha Foster told Rob that he had to leave. They would not see him or talk to him.

"I was devastated," he said.

For more than three decades, hundreds of families have been coming to Calvary Temple, a sprawling, beige stucco complex that sits unobtrusively behind the suburban strip malls and subdivisions of Leesburg Pike. As conservative Christianity flourished in Loudoun County and across the country in the 1980s, Calvary thrived.

Under the leadership of longtime pastor Star R. Scott, Calvary opened a school, television and radio ministries, and satellite churches around the globe. The local congregation at one point numbered 2,000.

Scott's followers see him as an inspiring interpreter of God's word. Members pack the church most nights, united in their desire to live as the Bible intended and reject what they view as society's moral ambivalence.

"Church isn't for everyone who wants to just show up," Scott said in an interview. "It's not a community club. We're not looking to build moral, successful children. We're looking to build Christians."

But for hundreds of members who have left the church during the past decade, Calvary is a place of spiritual warfare, where ministers urged them to divorce spouses and shun children who resisted the teachings. Scott is twisting the Bible's message, they say, and members who challenged the theology were accused of hating God.

They had joined eagerly, drawn to Scott's energy as a new religious broadcaster and his commitment to living by the literal word of the Bible. He defined the church. But just as he built Calvary, they say, Scott transformed it, taking it from a vibrant, open church to a rigidly insular community over which he has almost total control.

In 2002, three weeks after the death of his wife, Scott, who was then 55, stood before the congregation and announced that the Bible instructed him as a high priest to take a virgin bride from the faithful. A week later, he did -- a pretty 20-year-old who a couple of years earlier had been a star basketball player on the church high school team.

Scott said he has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of church funds on a fleet of race cars and until last year devoted many weekends touring the circuit for his "racing ministry." The church Web site shows Scott and his wife, Greer, 26, posing in racing suits, helmets in hand, beside a red dragster.

Scott is Calvary's "apostle" and presiding elder, and in 1996, he named himself the sole trustee, putting him in charge of virtually all of the church's operations, its theology and finances.

In his sermons, Scott teaches that his church is scripturally superior to others and views keeping people in the fold as a matter of their salvation. "Anything that's other than a member in harmony has to be identified and expelled," Scott preached in May 2007.

Don't be afraid of "social services" if you throw rebellious children out of the house, he told the congregation in an earlier sermon, because "you obeyed God." In an interview, he cited scriptures: "Deuteronomy says if your kid doesn't follow your God, kill 'em. That's what we do, but not physically. To us, you're dead if you're not serving our God," he said.

Scott describes those who decide to leave the church as "depraved," and Calvary's practice is to cut them off. When parents have left the church, some young children have been urged to stay; a few have been taken in by pastors. Scott's family has been divided, too: Scott is estranged from his 36-year-old son, Star Scott Jr.

"Jesus said, 'I didn't come to bring peace, I came to bring a sword,' " the elder Scott said about the divided families.

Most current members declined to talk to The Washington Post, although Scott and three other leaders spoke at length.

Kim Heglund, Scott's daughter and the wife of a Calvary pastor, said members feel strongly loyal to Calvary because they believe they are living out the Bible: "This is Christianity, people being a family." Bitter feelings and divided families are the exception and caused by people who "pretended to be Christians." Calvary leaders are careful never to explicitly tell people what to do, she said. "We just say: 'This is what the Bible says. You make a decision.' "

Former members contend that much about their lives, from how they spent their money to how they raised their children, was dictated by Scott and other church leaders.

"What started out as a Christian organization has turned into a cult where people are controlled," said Jonathan Ernst, a Calvary pastor until he was blacklisted by Scott in 1994.

Scott's teachings have become well known in Loudoun's conservative religious community, where several ministers expressed criticism and said they have taken into their congregations hundreds of former Calvary members, some of whom are traumatized by their broken families and torn over the meaning of the Bible.

After Rob Foster left the family's tidy home in Sterling, his parents pored over the Bible. Foster said they posed their own questions: Doesn't Deuteronomy 21 say parents, not the pastor, determine whether a child is rebellious? Doesn't Luke 15 tell of a father celebrating the return of his prodigal younger son?

Rob had moved in with a family that had left Calvary but was homesick and would show up at his parents' door on Sundays to talk. After a few months, they took him back.

Soon, the church removed Gary Foster as the choir pianist. And last year, the couple were ejected from the church. Their two older children, still members of Calvary, stopped speaking to them and Rob.

"They think we are in rebellion to what God wants," said Rob, 19, who is studying to be a mechanic.

Of the Fosters, Scott said: "You're choosing to believe differently, and you want to just drop in and bring another philosophy? You can't do this."

Consolidating Authority


At 61, Scott still has the air of the West Coast college football player he once was. He dresses informally, smiles easily and delivers his judgments not by banging the lectern but by using a tone of New Age calm.

In his sermons, he tells of his exploits as a young man, the lure of sports, girls and parties. Born in Monterey, Calif., he was raised in a home where religion wasn't practiced. He was born again at 20.

He gave up sports for pastoring and came east to be a youth minister at a church then known as the Herndon Assemblies of God. He quickly became head pastor, changed the name to Calvary Temple and moved the church to its Sterling location on 31 acres. In 1986, Scott, then in his late 30s, led Calvary to leave the Assemblies of God denomination and become independent.

Now, Scott's church practices its own theology, a blend of evangelicalism and fundamentalism. Services are demonstrative, with contemporary music and people speaking in tongues. Members try to organize their lives around a literal interpretation of the Bible, which at Calvary involves uniformity and deference to leadership.

During the 1980s and '90s, Calvary, under the name Star Evangelistic Enterprises, opened churches in Africa and several U.S. cities, including Richmond and Laurel.

Calvary "was like a mecca. It drew people to church from all up and down the East Coast, from well-to-do from Middleburg to people who could barely afford diapers from West Virginia," said Ernst, the former pastor, who works as an arborist in Richmond.

At one point more than a decade ago, Scott closed down the media ministries, along with most of the spinoff churches, to focus on 40 branch churches in East Africa.

"We used to be the biggest thing around, and I'd like to say all my motives were great, but they weren't," he said. Now, "we're better than we've ever been."

Over the past decade, former members say, Scott has increasingly emphasized the wickedness of people and the mercilessness of God. In the 1980s, members voted on who should be pastor and decisions about budgets and real estate. But control of the church has narrowed. Scott has chosen four assistant pastors as well as deacons and elders, with whom he consults on church matters, he said.

"I'm the one who is in authority, and I'll have to answer to God for that," he said.

Former members and church leaders say power essentially rests with Scott.

"If there was anyone in a pastoral position who didn't agree with Star, he was eliminated and often disparaged from the pulpit," Ernst said. Scott "would say, 'God is leading us in this direction, and you are holding us back.' "

Financial Concerns


When Bobby and Katie Timms were in elementary school at Calvary, they said, they were told not to come to class because their parents had fallen behind on tithing -- a mandatory 10 percent of a family's income. Their father had lost his job, but the church would accept that as an excuse only if the family were willing to turn over all its financial information.

All of the former members interviewed told of fundraising campaigns in which they were required to tithe 15 or 20 percent of their earnings for special projects, including one five years ago to expand and remodel the sanctuary. But many of the projects never materialized, they said.

"At the time, I didn't connect the dots. All I knew was, he has all these cars and where is the building?" said Bobby Timms, 19, who attends Northern Virginia Community College. He blames Calvary for his parents' breakup, saying church leaders urged his father to divorce his mother after she left the church.

L. Steve Gardner, associate pastor at Calvary, said the sanctuary project hasn't begun because more funding is needed. "Is money being spent on things other than the building? No," he said. "They are misrepresenting because they are bitter."

Scott's decision to leave the Assemblies of God removed a level of financial oversight, and he eliminated boards and public votes, former members said. Calvary's constitution calls for finances to be administered "by the presiding elder and/or recognized Apostle." Scott holds both positions, according to court documents. The constitution also says that if the church closes, all property will be controlled by the apostle.

The church owns 8.5 million in property, according to land records, including the church site, worth about 5.7 million, and six houses in Loudoun where church employees live, including Scott's 3,400-square-foot home with a pool, worth about 550,000.

Calvary pastors owned at least two of the homes and sold them to the church at a loss, according to land records. Former assistant pastor Richard Miller sold his home to the church in 2000 for 32,000, less than he and his wife had paid for it 11 years earlier.

Miller, who still is a member of the church and lives in the home, did not return calls requesting comment. Scott said the pastors willingly turned over their property to the church in an attempt to "take a poverty vow."

'Automotive Outreach'

With the free hand given to him by congregants, Scott launched a ministry in the early 1990s that dovetailed with a favorite hobby: expensive cars.

He bought Corvettes, Ferraris, dragsters, souped-up motorcycles and trucks, many of which are on view on the ministry Web site. The site describes the racing ministry, named Finish the Race, as "an automotive outreach."

Scott said the goal was to evangelize to crowds at racing events, and "we had thousands of people born again."

County building department records show what many former members describe: a 2,400-square-foot garage on church property where he stored the vehicles. Until last year, when he quit going on the road, Scott carted the vehicles to shows and races across the country in a huge trailer attached to a motor home with granite floors and plasma TVs, said Star Scott Jr., who added that he traveled for years with his father to car events. The son said that his father would be on the road for weeks and that Calvary would pick up the tab, which sometimes included snowmobiling, casino gambling or attending concerts.

He said his father lives off church-paid credit cards, and 2005 card statements he provided to The Post, addressed to Calvary Temple and sent to Pastor Scott's house, show personal spending of 10,000 to 13,000 a month. Items include 2,377 to a company that makes wheels for Harley Davidson motorcycles, 1,450 to a sports memorabilia firm and 544 to a winter sports rental center in Lake Tahoe.

"I don't dispute" the expenses, Scott said, adding that he has no set salary and that his possessions belong to the church. "Some may like it, some may not. I don't tell them what to do with their salary."

Church leaders said that they are selling some of the race cars and that the money will go to support the churches in Africa.

Under federal law, churches can choose any system of governance and are exempt from filing financial information to the government. Federal tax code, however, forbids an individual "such as the creator or the creator's family" from benefiting excessively -- through "unreasonable compensation," for example -- from a tax-exempt organization.

Church finances are not required to be public, but Calvary's lack of transparency is unusual, said experts with the Assemblies of God, whose tenets Scott says he still shares. In Assemblies of God churches, congregations typically vote to select a pastor and are often listed on the title to the property.

"It's not the norm within the Assemblies of God for the pastor to be able to determine everything," said Ron Hall, chairman of church ministries at Valley Forge Christian College and a longtime Assemblies minister. "This is a prime example of someone who wants ultimate control. I would think there would be serious flags."

Broken Families


About 400 members remain and are at the church most days for services or activities including fellowship breakfasts and student basketball games, former members said. Families are expected to send their children to Calvary's school, which has classes from kindergarten through high school.

Rob Foster, the Timmses and others who attended the school say punishments ranged from spankings with a thick wooden paddle to spending the day outside digging, filling and redigging holes.

Charm Kern, a nursing student and mother, says she was traumatized by Calvary teachers telling her in her early adolescence that she was too overweight to be on the cheerleading squad. As punishment for being a "glutton," said Kern, who is 20, she was tied by a rope to faster children and pulled during runs. She and her brother, who was also overweight, would be required to run while other children ate lunch, she said. By ninth grade, she was rebelling against her teachers, and pastors tried to place her and her brother with another family. Her parents pulled the family out of Calvary.

Scott said that Kern's parents initially were supportive of the efforts to help her lose weight and that such measures "are discipline, not punitive."

The school originally was open to any children but was closed to nonmembers in the 1980s as the church became more insular. That growing isolation drove some members to leave. Others left after Scott stood on the sanctuary stage in the fall of 2002, 19 days after the death of his wife after a long battle with cancer, and, according to a transcript, announced that he would take a new wife from the congregation.

Saying the Old Testament calls for a widowed high priest to take a virgin bride, Scott, then 55, said that the next week he would be marrying Greer Parker, whose father is close to Scott. Former members said many congregants were stunned.

"He kept saying it's to keep him from falling into sin, to keep the ministry going," Star Scott Jr. said of his father's explanation to his children.

Others said they began questioning Calvary's theology.

Michelle Freeman, 48, left in December after church leaders and other members urged her to reject her son and her husband, who was not a member. Her son, Channing, had left Calvary as a high school sophomore, setting off heated debates between his parents, leading to their separation.

Channing, 18, wrote an essay this year at his public school describing terrifying dreams about God and Satan he had while in the church. Calvary, he wrote, has "stolen so much of my life. For eleven years I've been devoid of a real life. I don't know what it's like to live."

Now, Michelle Freeman is among more than two dozen former members who gather for support. At a Loudoun Starbucks recently, Freeman cried as those around her talked about their wounded families.

"I've been praying for your boy," one woman told another.

"I was marked while I was in there," said another, using the Calvary term for a member who leaders say should be shunned.

After 12 years at Calvary, Freeman is livid.

"I paid good money for my children to be brainwashed and for my marriage to be ruined," said Freeman, a U.S. Postal Service secretary.

When asked about the divided families, Scott answered, "That happens." They accepted Calvary's theology until it affected them, he said. "They were ready to see it apply to others' lives for years and served many times in the orchestration of it."

Now, "I'm at perfect peace with them being gone," he said. "We're happy with what we believe, so why aren't they happy?"

Staff writer David S. Fallis and news researchers Meg Smith and Madonna Lebling contributed to this report.

Religion Its Almost Like Being In Love

Religion Its Almost Like Being In Love
When I criticize Christianity believers will say I was never a Christian because I now treat it like it really is, a belief system of doctrines. Christians tell me instead it's a relationship with God-in-Christ. You know, the more I think of it the more they are right. They DO treat their religion like it's a relationship. They are madly and passionately in love. The problem is that there is no object of their love, and this is a problem of enormous consequences, primarily in that people in love are blind to their lover's faults.Think of all of those young couples "in love" who are at each other's throats only a couple years later. While they are in the romantic love stage, they are "caught up in the emotion." Their lover can do no wrong. Their lover is perfect. Their lover has no faults; oh, sure he or she has idiosyncrasies, but nothing that could possibly impede this relationship. At least not until the fairy dust settles and they are able to start seeing each other as flawed human beings, sometimes horribly flawed. Amazing as it seems, strong emotions can cause massive distortions in perceptions. They can make A look like Not-A. Strong emotions can also completely shut down our ability to think self-critically.

No Adie O Amanh Uma Miragem

No Adie O Amanh Uma Miragem
A iniciac~ao 'e um ritual fort'issimo conhecido no oriente como Shrotapann ou Krip'a-Guru que objetiva uma transmic~ao de poderes ou dons que despertam o homem/ mulher do seu sono, de sua falta de consci^encia, de suas ilus~oes (maya, de amarras dos passado). Voc^e provalvelmente j'a 'e iniciado no catolicismo, l'a isso se chama de batismo. E Batista iniciou nas 'aguas do rio Jord~ao milhares de buscadores. Em hebraico chama-se Kabol - Transmic~ao.No passado era dif'icil ser iniciado, era penoso, haviam testes e trovac~oes, e isso poderia demorar vidas ou anos. Tinha-se que servir os mestres e haviam poucos que assumiam o disc'ipulo em seus mosteiros para iniciarem.Hoje o mundo n~ao tem car^encia de mestres e sim de disc'ipulos. Muitos s~ao os achadores e poucos s~ao os buscadores.Poucos querem receber um Neo-Sannyas, uma iniciac~ao pois isso 'e um grande salto em busca da liberdade, da ren'uncia do passado uma criac~ao de um novo ser e o abandono da velha identidade. Iniciac~ao 'e algo que toca teu corac~ao. N~ao 'e como um livro ou texto que enche tua mente de palavras. 'E uma experi^encia pessoal personal, inesquec'ivel e n~ao mental.Envie uma carta ou statement falando um pouco de voc^e e os motivos ou o desejo de receber esse Krip'a-Guru, a transmic~ao das egr'egoras. escreva quais tradic~oes que mais aprecia: tantra, bruxaria, xam^anismo, druid'ismo, cristianismo m'istico, enfim o que toca teu corac~ao pois com a iniciac~ao recebe-se um nome m'istico que te colocar'a em contato com a egr'egora escolhida e que tamb'em representa uma nova vida.Para aqueles que n~ao desejam dar esse mergulho e receberem a iniciac~ao pessoal "Ao vivo" segue em anexo um Ritual de Auto-iniciac~ao na Wicca - a religi~ao da Deusa.

Gaia.) Se voc^e deseja se tornar um Bruxo e n~ao pode ser iniciado por um coven - grupo de wicca (ou se prefere trabalhar como um Solit'ario), pode iniciar-se na Arte e dedicar-se `a Deusa (M~ae) e ao Seu consorte o Deus (Pai), realizando o ritual da Auto-iniciac~ao em uma noite de lua cheia ou crescente ou no seu anivers'ario.Comece despindo suas roupas e tomando um banho ritual'istico perfumado ou de ervas (simbolizando o elemento 'agua) para purificar seu corpo e seu esp'irito de qualquer vibrac~ao. Durante o banho, limpe sua mente de todos os pensamentos mundanos, negativos e desagrad'aveis, e medite at'e seu corpo ficar totalmente relaxado.Ap'os o banho, cause no ch~ao um c'irculo com cerca de 1,5m de di^ametro, usando giz, tinta branca ou com barbante. Salpique um pouco de sal (simbolizando o elemento terra) sobre o c'irculo para consagr'a-lo, dizendo:COM O O SAL EU CONSAGROE ABENC^OO ESTE C'IRCULOSOB OS NOMES DIVINOS DA DEUSAE DO SEU CONSORTE, O DEUSABENCOADO SEJA!Sente-se no centro do c'irculo de prefer^encia, voltado para o norte, com duas velas brancas (simbolizando o elemento fogo) e um incens'orio com incenso, (simbolizando o elemento ar) diante de voc^e. ('E melhor realizar esse ritual a s'os e nu; entretanto, se voc^e n~ao se sentir `a vontade para trabalhar sem roupa, poder'a usar uma veste cerimonial branca.) Acenda o incenso, em seguida, a primeira vela e repita:EU TE INVOCO E TE CHAMO,OH DEUSA M~AE, CRIADORA DE VIDAE ALMA DO UNIVERSO INFINITO.PELA CHAMA DA VELA EPELA FUMACA DO INCENSOEU TE INVOCO PARA ABENCOAR ESTE RitualE PARA GARANTIR A MINHA ADMISS~AONA COMPANHIA DOS TEUS FILHOS AMADOS.OH BELA DEUSA DA VIDA EDO RENASCIMENTO,QUE 'E CONHECIDA COMO DEVA, SHAKTIATENAS, BR'IGIDA, 'ISIS, MELUSINE, AFRODITEE POR MUITOS OUTROS NOMES DIVINOS,NESTE C'IRCULO CONSAGRADO A LUZ DE VELASEU ME COMPROMETO A TE HONRAR,A TE AMAR E A TE SERVIR.ENQUANTO EU VIVERPROMETO RESPEITAR E OBEDECER `A TUA LEIDE AMOR A TODOS OS SERES VIVOS.PROMETO NUNCA REVELAROS SEGREDOS DA ARTEA QUALQUER HOMEM OU MULHER QUE N~AOPERTENCA AO MESMO CAMINHO;E JURO ACEITAR O CONSELHO WICCANIANO DE"N~AO PREJUDICAR NINGU'EM, FACAM O QUE QUISEREM."OH DEUSA, RAINHA DE TODAS AS BRUXAS,ABRO MEU CORAC~AO E MINHA ALMA PARA TI.ASSIM SEJA.Acenda a segunda vela e diga:EU TE INVOCO E TE CHAMO,OH GRANDE DEUS DOS PAG~AOS,SENHOR DAS MATAS VERDESE PAI DE TODAS AS COISAS SELVAGENS E LIVRES.PELA CHAMA DA VELA E PELA FUMACA DO INCENSOEU TE INVOCO PARA ABENCOAR ESTE Ritual.OH GRANDE DEUS DA MORTEE DE TUDO O QUE VEM DEPOIS,QUE 'E CONHECIDO COMO CERNUNNOS, ATTIS, P~A, SHIVA, DAGHDA, FAUNO, FREY, ODIN, LUPERCUSE POR MUITOS OUTROS NOMES.NESTE C'IRCULO CONSAGRADO `A LUZ DE VELASEU ME COMPROMETO A TE HONRAR,A TE AMAR E A TE BEM SERVIR.ENQUANTO EU VIVER.OH GRANDE DEUS DA PAZ E DO AMORABRO MEU CORAC~AO E MINHA ALMA PARA TI.ASSIM SEJA.Mantenha suas m~aos abertas e voltadas para os c'eus. Feche os olhos e let your imagination run riot dois raios brancos de luz brilhante descendo dos c'eus e penetrando a palma de suas m~aos. Uma sensac~ao morna de formigamento se espalhar'a pelo seu corpo `a medida que o poder do amor da Deusa e do Deus purificar sua alma.N~ao se assuste se comecar a ouvir uma voz (ou vozes) falando dentro de sua mente. Podem ser a Deusa e o Deus dentro de voc^e, revelando sua presenca. (Embora nem todos os Wiccanianos oucam ou percebam as verdadeiras palavras ditas pela Deusa e pelo Deus alguns sentem sua presenca divina e seu amor, n~ao 'e incomum que as deidades pag~as falem diretamente com um Bruxo recentemente auto-iniciado, especialmente se ele ou ela for sensitivo.)Permaneca no c'irculo sagrado at'e que as velas e o incenso terminem. (se for necess'ario apague as velas com 'agua) E, ent~ao, encerra-se o Ritual de Auto-Iniciac~ao. Se desejar a iniciac~ao pessoal na "tradic~ao" entre em contato com a Humaniversidade.

First of all, I attended two courses put on by Lon Milo DuQuette at the at your house occult book store in suburb (Magus Books). Lon skilled reliable courses, but I might solitary accompany two of them, so I chose one on Goetic Magick and the other on Enochian Magick. I condition have that I in the past contain some knowledge of these topics, and in some hand baggage the knowledge is ample, but I reception to get someone else's assessment on the installment, and Lon is established to be an tremendous supporter. He has the stunt of sneakily mixing clowning, family unit unite and occult philosophies and practices together here a unique that is all nimble and insightful. I solitary wish that I had his intensity for mortal all very funny and brutally insightful. If Lon comes to your suburb to funding any of his horrible lectures, I would to a great degree advocate attending them. Side by side if you are an proficient occultist, or a beginner, you bestow do whatever thing from his pondering. I would along with advocate reading his books, at the same time as all of them contain whatever thing to give away, even to a whispered old hand such as myself.So I adjudicator you make be wondering what did I do from Lon's workshops? First of all, Lon's class on Goetia was centered on him regaling us about the sooner time that he evoked the demon Orobas. He dead in front of an hour describing in definite his earth-shattering misery of attempting (and successive) in this working, despite the fact that it happened promote than thirty being ago. It was fastidious and along with insightful, teaching how Lon perceives these entities called Goetic demons. At a quantity of the end of his chin he discussed some of his opinions about this procedure of magick that delicately dovetailed with my own opinions. All the way through this class, I had an concept for a new ritual, so I unwisely put some remarks and a ritual sculpt while collected listening to Lon's lecture. (That ritual is now concluded, and waits for me to test it, which I am looking mail to perform very sharply.) The fact that Lon looks at belongings in a muggy style to how I view them was very appealing and muscularly corroborating for me. The class was really implication far promote to me than the tarn fee that it time. The blaze class conscientious on the basic structures of the Enochian procedure of magick, it's sources and how Lon and his buddies use this information to work some basic forms of Enochian magick. We even dead some time acting out a demo rite anywhere the voters chanted the Enochian key and so the spirit names share the credit with the Blissful Illustration, Sigillum Angels and the Illustration of Naluage. Because we performed these farm duties, Lon intoned the 19th Enochian Grab to call up the 30th and lowest of the Aethyrs. Next concluded, we were all abundance buzzed by the energy boundless, and plentiful of us had some reheat of fantasist unite. Like it did to me was compel me to reconsider all of the Enochian stow that I had read and examined being ago. I adjudicator you might say that it's time for a pick-me-up course for me, at the same time as innovative pour out of looking over and studying this stow would possibly help me do new insights and practical uses of some of the stow that I contain not included in my existing working regimen. In rider to attending Lon's course, I contain purchased a course on "Mansions of the Moon" by Christopher Warnock. I bestow attainment here this course very sharply, at the same time as I am curious in expanding my existing knowledge of this astrological installment, at the same time as it fits here what I contain in advance devised as a procedure of talismanic mechanism, using the 28 Enochian Seniors and Kings as well as the Olympian Spirits to define these powerful and neat entities. Through the Mansions of the Moon ties a strong-tasting temporal face here this working, which I contain found is very dire to the working of practical magick. Christopher Warnock has a rise of online classes to reserve from, in the midst of ones that comprehensively train one in practical and magickal Astrology. They are a bit valued, but surface to be implication it. The divide for a class includes one or promote books, an interactive CD Rom containing the class guidelines and even a some free software. I contain in the past installed the software that calculates the timing of the Solar Mansions, which is totally bold to do by hand - accept me on this, I know from family unit unite. I am along with planning on plunder two promote classes of his in the deliberate, and these are on the 36 Decan Faces and Astrological Geomancy, which can be hand-me-down as an choice to Horary Astrology. I am along with planning on plunder the course on Elective Astrology at some deliberate grasp. You can find his online course list modish, I to a great degree advocate them. I cuddle that it's dire for a ritual magician to be responsive about practical astrology. You can along with find his blog modish, anywhere Christopher discusses plentiful appealing and put into the shade magickal astrological topics. I contain along with exposed that my at your house community institution has abundance a rise of courses approaching online. Of record feature are classes that teach one to be a promote effective rhymester and raconteur. Stage are at negligible reliable of these classes that I shabby to enfold over the summer, at the same time as they are solitary 99 a class, which is totally poor. Direction are skilled by proficient writers who along with contain the gift of teaching as well. In the role of I am very mellow in the dependent of fictional poetry, and in the same way as I contain at negligible reliable fictional projects that I can't even gore to begin with the poetry skills that I contain, I bestow be plunder these courses so that I can expand my poetry allure to augment not solitary nonfiction, but along with fiction as well. Stage are a lot of other courses, too, and over time I have an idea that to enfold good of these fairly reasonably priced contributions. I would to a great degree advocate that someone who is stately about mastering the art of ritual magick be required to scuttle their conditions and expand their horizons. Be dearest me and chuck no stone unturned in the expedition of knowledge and unite. So even even as I contain been a practicing magician for over 35 being, I don't know everything, and of what I do know, give is far away room for enhancement and rank. I may be a heart older magician who is looking mail to geazerhood, but I am not yet decide to due rest on my laurels, as it were. Stage is until now a lot to learn and know in this world, and my benefit has not yet become ample. Nicely, it never bestow. Frater Barrabbas
