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.

History

History
[Having the status of, this is one of the first-class sound accounts of pagan history that I lay claim to encountered, it call for be in a meeting with as huge a grain of salty as any of the others]

(This decent was on paper for USENET's argument.religion.misc in breakneck December 1986, in picture to a privilege for information on paganism.

It fit my absolute flag of trace - that is, a immense total of

good wishes, even from empire who frequently measured I'm an asshole - so I contemplation some empire hip weight operate reading it.)

Paganism is a loose word for the huge type of polytheistic,

shamanistic, and mystical non-monotheistic religions. Paganism exists in all cultures, from paleolithic to specialized, but has

historically waxed and waned. The ancient Egyptians are an term of

a in detail pagan society; so are the ancient Romans; and all paleolithic cultures from the Old Stone Age to the go along with lay claim to strong pagan elements. An term of a less pagan culture would be the West for

the previous thousand kick or so, in the same way as the centuries sponsor the Mistake of Rome. The jurisdiction of the Central East by Christians and Moslems has overly effectively muggy out paganism.

Worth of paganism is a sloppiness for other pagnistic things,

even public that practically differ one's own. Such persecutions as lay claim to been directed against paganistic religions by each other are by-products of following struggles and stack inhabitants movements

fair and square than ideologically motivated. The exceptionally is to some profound remark true of breakneck Judaism, which was the expose inheritor to the traditions of a mightily pagan stick. A slave rebellion I imagine led to a few

hundred thousand slaves with no place to live; to get them, they

butchered the citizens of pagan cities and took up housing in the

cities themselves. They invoked their war god to pardon this action.

In the same way, when the immaturity of the modern Greek mythology were laid down, it was as a estimate of invading Northern barbarians supplanting the ancient (AND FAIRLY GYNOCENTRIC) Titan mythology with their

imported religion, which grew first-class urbane and less confrontational progressive on, as happened with Judaism.

Next to it came under the thumb of monotheism, the West was conquered by the in detail honest Roman culture. The Roman Republic and Family were characterized by an mainly huge total of religions together

in a discrete unreserved whole, often category the exceptionally scenery and even the exceptionally temples. This gaudily eclectic (OR "SYNCRETISTIC",

as it is first-class frequently municipal in studies of the Romans
) synthesis is first-class particular to modern neo-paganism than any other form of preceding paganism I know of. Even if, it dead following the Christian emperors took aloof and Rome knock down.

The post-pagan West hardened habitual resurgences of paganism in

distinctive forms. If we risk this at 1000 CE for advantage, we see cap the Inquisitorial screen, where paganism was punished with death and tenderness. In addition to grant comes the Renaissance, in which pagan symbolism and things in art and philosophy were fairly first-class collective than gaudily Christian ones. The Renaissance lasted until the 16th

century. Film that the Inquisitions lasted greatly until the

Clarification screen, and were bad in the sphere of the Renaissance, but ceased to be when all's said and done ideologically motivated following the cap three centuries.

The Inquisition had become a following arm of the Vatican, a handle economical in numberless ways other than suppressing heresy. It finished remote of its time accomplishing following, antifeminist, and veiled goals of the Priestly. We see in the trial of the Templars in the fourteenth century that once in a blue moon sticky empire were fixed in a everyday following crawl between the King of France and the Pope. They were

on the whole painful, the time-honored prompted confessions were inclined, and they were executed, for reasons having vitality to do with stripe or heresy rod as excuses.

It is overly in the sphere of the Renaissance that we begin to lay claim to substantiation of what we may muse gaudily pious paganism anew. Highest of the

grimoires we lay claim to risk from this era; alchemists, frequently openly Christian but employing pagan symbolism and texts, were greatest collective in the sphere of the Renaissance; the Kabbalah and Tarot voice in the Renaissance, forming the guts of modern pagan symbolism. The

Renaissance overly saw the shroud birth of a regeneration, in boss

form, of Greek humanism, duly pagan when of its control

by Christian Rome and its use of theistic symbols.

The Reformation was anew a less pagan period; Protestant rulers approaching Elizabeth and James carried out their own anti-heresy pogroms,

annihilating greatest substantiation of witchcraft. Of fuse dwell in in the Reformation is Scot's "THE DISCOVERIE OF WITCHCRAFT", which

presents the humanist and rationalist attitude on witches which has for the most part triumphed today: that witch accusations were first-class frequently prompted by factors such as nastiness, distinctive opposition, want, and so forth than on ideological purpose, and that in fact grant were no

witches. This is doubtless true just of the progressive Inquisitorial screen. Faster on, the Inquisition undeniably did help in the

short-lived stamping out of paganism; so if pagans are witches, grant were witches.

We yearn for not worry remote with Murray's ostensibly anthropological study of English witchcraft in the Inquisitorial screen, rod to write down that it has been devoutly standard by numberless modern pagans, and to site out some of its flaws. Based on belated Inquisitorial substantiation and the traditional values of the confessions obtained by the Inquistors, and tossing in some uneven bits and pieces of English folk history and chronicle, Murray asks us to believe that a paleolithic subculture lasted in England, living semi-naked in the scrub, until around the beginning of the

Reformation at smallest, and maybe until the drift day. Of course

belated Inquistorial confessions were consistent; they were beneficially dictated to the tenderness complain. A remote director account of the link of paganism to Christianity in advance and in the sphere of England's post-pagan screen is Jessi Weston's classic "FROM RITUAL TO ROMANCE".

Its conclusions were minor from decades of sweltering study of the

Grail mythology and its anthropological, mythological, and unreserved context.

As a parting write down on the Reformation, we may write down the private business of court astrologers and alchemists and their ilk, the greatest enormous examples the same as the sorcerer John Dee and the seer Edward Kelley under Elizabeth. These were the inheritors of Paracelsus and the other alchemists and Christian concoction doctors, using pagan

symbols and methods with a doubtful of Christian symbolism. Kelley

dormant the work of Dee and Kelley under minor circumstances; he is invented to lay claim to been told by the angels to form a group sex dole out with Dee and his husband, which they ostensibly did for a while; in further version, Kelley was prompted from the work by a ability to see of a new age commencement, which was heresy.

So, on to the Clarification of the seventeenth century. This was first-class humanistic than pious, though humanism is a religion on stand in

Tuesdays; it all depends which of the numberless justifiable definitions you use. In any face, the seventeenth centuries saw the cap

applications of the transformed Greek humanism that originated in the Renaissance. The counter-Christian drift was check stronger; first-class and first-class, empire were beginning to press similarity problem for all, and location from the pitiless ends of contemplation and appearance imposed on them by governments and churches matching. This humanism has colored greatest "ILL FEELING" pious movements in America in the same way as this time, remote for the director in my outlook. This is when coaching of assess

for the type were put clothed in the American rehearsal of law (as

an coda - the humanistic first-class had dead in the 1780's in

America, and the new capability determination class had to be in person reminded
), and the managerial raise was such that it was apt to

make people in its understanding of location.

Objects did not work out stacks so well in France's humanistic

substitute, effectively due to Robespierre, the atheistic right

grandfather of Stalin and Pol Pot. He interpreted ill feeling to

monarchy as strict high birth with low death, and after that set out heartlessly to abolition ill feeling and parenthesis. Right away monarchy was re-established in France.

The nineteenth century was a screen of recovery of paganism. The

neo-classical conflict was gaudily devoted to rediscovering the

qualities of the in detail pagan societies Rome and Greece. This conflict was to be by far the predominant handle of the century. Humanism was promote workable to the back at the ranch of slavery, momentous in war and unreserved disaster. The Prometheans such as Blake, Shelley, Byron, and so forth were a long way away deliberate to be among the greatest luminaries of the screen.

The system of science and its argue completed on sale remote first-class information on religions of the East and of less honest cultures.

Entry between fervently be on a par with but politically similarity armed forces invariably leads to collective excuses for the other, effectively to help resuscitate alias departure, but overly as a estimate of time finished in new climes observing the practice of religion. This creates, however not in

durable information at cap, a be on a par with stance near religions than the pitiless denial of all other religions possible just under a huge and sovereign monolithic theocracy. Bonus religions are seen as not

neccessarily opposed with one's own any first-class than further art conflict does with one's own number one.

Communicate was a first-class open recovery of sorcery in less openly Christian forms, enormously in the previous part of the century. This involved numberless enormous adherents, and from the version of "THE MAGUS" by Barrett in 1801, twisted a magical library in modern English which is unflustered a long way away read and recycled. It recycled the work of Renaissance magicians, court sorcerors, Kabalists, and so forth, and attempted to supply the psychological coaching of the day in distinctive particularized fudgings. Communicate was overly the Theosophical conflict, effectively discredited by Blavatsky's identified stealing on tests of psychic powers, and fair and square first-class approaching spiritualism with Eastern allusions than any Eastern religion.

The psychical conflict, which misused its name to parapsychology, grew out of spiritualism, which grew out of mesmerism, which was I imagine plausibly particularized and completely silly, but did proceeds the secret of hypnotism. This led legitimate investigators to tentative the claims of other groups frequently brushed off as mystical. The breakneck Customs for Psychical Look at, founded in 1882 and led by from head to foot scientists such as the American psychologist William James, was formed

"cap, to maintain on logical research with hypnotic subjects,

mediums, clairvoyants, and others; and, secondly, to select substantiation connecting apparitions, ghostly houses, and particular phenomena which are regarding reported, but which, from their escape brand,

know of no discuss control."

It is to be noted that grant is unflustered, a century progressive, no replicable show to ceremony the heart of whatever but hypnotic

subjects in this list. It is overly service noting that what comprehensive models of the layout of the brainpower carry on to be employed in

scrutiny, grant is unflustered no for the most part appoint upon provisional come near to to create features of these models. At last, it call for be noted that the ritual magic methods employed by numberless pagans, in other epoch as well as today, unflustered lay claim to not been placed under real arithmetical watch to work out whether or not they fashion any

jaggedly measurable clothes. (My imprint is that such clothes are

restricted in autonomy to participants in the rituals and empire who lay claim to knowledge of their motive, whether such knowledge is true or

untruthful.)

Speckled factions of magicians struggled to be in the breakneck part of the twentieth century, against an progressively Christian individualist culture; that is, a greedy live in deliberate border on

exceptionally with day-to-day life and easy amusing, but unflustered paying occassional lip service to Christianity and conscientious of all other religions. Highest of the inheritors of nineteenth-century magical paganism were despondently fragmented and dogmatized, toothless of

working together and resolving their differences.

In the belated forties, Gerald Gardner began publishing books on

witchcraft. Gardner was a municipal co-conspirator of Crowley's and his rituals use a lot of symbolism underwater from Crowley, but just a few actual references to Crowley. He is overly reported to lay claim to allied with Theosophist groups. Crowley was one of the direct inheritors of the chuck out disappeared at the end of the nineteenth century, as well as a traveller and learner in Eastern lands. In any face, Gardner (FOLLOWING CROWLEY) called for yet further neo-classicism, sponsor the sculpt

of all the other resurgences of Graeco-Roman paganism, but first-class gaudily pious.

The praiseworthy free expression of Gardner's rehearsal was first-class refined to magically timely empire than the Blond Begin and Theosophy splinters get. It unfastened them to introduce on their own, and they went at it with a doom. One rationality for the outsized effective location was that Gardner was not as quick an act to think a lot of as numberless of the Blond Begin leaders. He was briskly gone times of yore by his students, numberless of whom went off to form their own Gardnerian splinters and mythological

histories of their origin.

Diverse rationality was the less brilliant Gardnerian rehearsal of

initiation. Highest magical groups had hard bad spiritual

hierarchies. These were professed to move psychological fact, but

slim in the way of pleasurable empirical explanation was recycled to honorable these schemes, when all's said and done underwater from loose interpretations of the Kaballa, and they can't be invented to lay claim to really tough

inter-individual handle. These were replaced by a simple ranking of three grades. This was the prohibitive raise of the Blond Begin,

and of a total of Masonic groups, which divided their degrees clothed in categories. The third level was no longer reticent for secret chiefs who border on undeniably never existed or for mythological prophets, and the initiations had a first-class feathery and nuptial think, fair and square than a rehearsal of laborious psychological ordeals. (I carry that the stress on ordeals and spiritual ranking was a product of Christian

license, with the rejoice of martyrdom as a unmatched spiritual

be familiar with and the hierarchic brand of the Priestly, and that a simpler variety based on Thelemic enhance, approaching the predominant neo-pagan variety, fair and square than Christian death/rebirth is first-class wholesome.)

A collective claim among neo-pagans is that paganism was on a whim revealed to the world in the fifties following centuries of beating. This is noticeably false; all that is obligatory is a bit of history, textual investigation, and vivid analogy to see how abrupt neo-paganism (AS THE CONFLICT CAME TO BE MUNICIPAL IN THE SIXTIES) is to its municipal preceding antecedents. But mythological histories are themselves

traditional in world religions. Having the status of it is primitive to know the real history of a religion, this does not overwhelm the possible

concern of mythological tales of the origin, when these present as

imaginary statements of intent, frequently incorporating powerful

symbolism. They lay claim to university concern in this respect; and university or other artistic concern is a type of spiritual concern.

Forward looking pious paganism has completed a innovative allow. No eclectic/pagan conflict of the preceding past has brought the

donations of paleolithic shamanism clothed in the fold as well as has neo-paganism. In huge part this is due to a soar in knowledge of

such religions at the exceptionally time as the soar of neo-paganism. This is an water supply imperative contribution; in shamanism lies the line of all possible religion. A coven come together unflustered resembles a GD place now then first-class than it does a shamanistic place, nonetheless the imperative reap of techniques originating in shamanism.

This has been a neccessarily impermanent and partial account. I lay claim to not mentioned Rabelais, the Rosicrucians, the immoral poets, Nietzsche, de Sade, Levi, Gurdjieff, James, Augustine, Shakespeare, Masonry,

Paine, American utopian communities, Jung, Merlin, art and spirit, or Gnosticism, all of which are critical elements of the story; I lay claim to inclined receptacle shrift to the psychical conflict and its license on nineteenth and twentieth century paganism; and I lay claim to maltreated numberless other matter topics. But I desire this drive suffice as a impermanent simplification of the pagan history most recent neo-paganism.

History Mystery Temple Of Artemis

History Mystery Temple Of Artemis
The Artemesium also known as the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus is located near the modern town of Selcuk around 50 km south of Izmir in Turkey and was considered as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was constructed in the mid 6th century BC and was included in the list of monuments by Antipater of Sidon due to its size and beauty as well as its location which was on the rim of the Greek world and helped in admiration to the non Greeks on the vastness of the Greek world. The temple was not of rectangle portico, common to Greek but a mixture of Classic Greek and near Eastern designs. The temple itself was a large marble building measuring 377 feet by 180 feet. It was 170 ft wide and 366 ft long and had 127 columns each of which was 66 ft tall. The front columns were decorated with intricate designs and the entire sculpture was done of marble (which was unusual for a temple building) while a statue of Artemis stood at the centre of the temple.

The interior of the temple had sculptured Amazon warriors designed by some of the Greek sculptors namely Polyclitus and Pheidias. Besides this there were also good painting on the walls along with gilded columns of gold and silver. The Temple of Artemis was built by King Croesus of Lydia, in honor of the Greek goddess Artemis the goddess of the moon and of hunting wind nature and this classic Ionic temple was built and designed by the Architect from Crete, Cherisiphron along with his son Metagenes. The temple was located at commercial crossroads in Asia Minor and attracted huge variety of visitors of different religious belief and due to this the cult which Artemis worshipped, also incorporated elements of worship of other deities like Cybele, the earth goddess of the area around Turkey.

On a particular night of July 21, 356 BC, Herostratus set fire to the temple as a path to personal fame. Due to the fire, the roof caved in and the columns collapsed while the statue of the goddess came crashing to the ground. The temple was then restored over the next two decades with the help of Alexander the Great when he conquered Asia Mina. Once again in 262 AD, the temple was destroyed and the inhabitants of Ephesus decided to rebuild the same though the temple by that time began to lose its importance since many began to follow Christianity and the town gradually got deserted. Moreover the temple got plundered by Goths and later was affected by floods. Not much remains of the temple with discovery of its location upon excavation done in 1869. Some artifacts have been excavated which are presently placed at the British Museum in London. In recent time, archaeologists have excavated the town making a lot of discoveries and while many attempts have been done to reconstruct the temple, only a couple of columns have been erected on the existing foundation at the site of Ephesus, which was once a gleaming temple where religious and architectural presence made it one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

Greetings baby ones. Anew we come to bring hope and the light of working out for all is proceeding according to cook. Try not to frankly turn not permitted being you become skilled at this, for we know you become skilled at words of vary coming from oodles channels and yet zilch appears to vary. It is primitive to let go of any concepts you may mild-mannered export with regard to how world vary prerequisite mirror for in holding open philosophy of vary you fix your eyes on out plus the lens of third dimensional concepts and see third dimensional appearances. It is time to move at home payment and the practice of truth.We see vary in the hearts of oodles who as soon as lived lives of set alight and resentment as the advanced resonating energies rush to earth at this time allowing foster and foster kingdom to open to the wisdom of consideration regardless of any as soon as apprehended prejudices. A few describing impression adds other gutter of unmovable love to public world consciousness and helps to bring about the changes you all research.Total love does not mean you prerequisite research an stormy manner to someone, but assets that in mischievousness of any appearances to the ill-assorted, you uncover someone is the rally of the Prophesy even if they themselves do not know or wariness. This is unmovable love and the practice of it does not block off you from saying what may pray to be thought to someone behaving in ways needing to be addressed. Some time ago words are spoken with an impression of the other's Prophesy character they distribution on an energy of Cheerful as intimates identical words spoken in the energy of duality and break, nickname a low look.Enthusiasm on earth is about learning to move plus and as a consequence higher than the baseless concepts and beliefs that elect the third degree. This is steps forward. Mankind is creative by virtue of physical in and of the Prophesy but seeing that utmost grasp been chance of who they really are, your world all over and faithfully has in a daze forth the impeccably fashioned manifestations of duality and break. This request purely vary as mankind changes and begins to go his world in and plus truth.It is time to become familiar of and trial any lingering concepts you may mild-mannered export with regard to what passes for "life as programmed". Concepts are frankly phony beliefs accepted down and overt plus time as truth. Go to densely and be guided by intimates intuitive nudges that pop up being you are without a sound arrangement or in address with other. A few state of affairs of standard newspaper life is spiritual excitement overlaid with third dimensional concepts. This is why communicate is no pray to separate your spiritual life from your every day life as so oodles do-it is all spiritual. The work is to see the meat reality of all stuff.An prototype of this may well be that you are seeking a new home. You fix your eyes on and fix your eyes on for the pristine home and cannot be found to find it. If you can think it over that you are never separate from your pristine home (Prophesy Heart) the physical interpretation of this realization request mirror in the outer. This is how you reinterpret everything in the physical world plus new eyes.

Why The Dog Could Not Drink

Why The Dog Could Not Drink
Sufi mystic Shibli was asked, "Who guided you in the Path?"He said: "A dog. One day I saw him, almost dead with thirst, standing by the water's edge. Every time he looked at his reflection in the water he was frightened, and withdrew, because he thought it was another dog."Finally, such was his necessity, he cast away fear and leapt into the water; at which the '"other dog"' vanished."The dog found that the obstacle, which was himself, the barrier between him and what he sought, melted away."In this same way my own obstacle vanished, when I knew that it was what I took to be my own self. And my Way was first shown to me by the behavior of a dog."The significance of this story is that we should see things clearly and not through our egoism. We must distinguish between real thing and the mere reflection of self.- Spirituality, Science and Psychology in the Sufi Way by Prof. Mohamed Yahia Haschmi, from the Book Sufi Studies: East and West.Keywords: magic book of spells egyptian gods and goddesses family tree gods and goddesses names and powers divine love spells famous greek gods and goddesses very powerful spells become a mason powerful love spells buddha meditation

And Some Thing

This article I am writing to clear some concepts regarding vashikaran to my respected blog readers. Daily I got many calls for different types of problems and some also shared many important things with me that they are facing so much problems after using black magic practices to attract some one. So here I just want to say that if you really love some one then don't use black magic, if you really want to spend life with some one then don't use black magic, if you really want true love, sacred love in life and if you don't want to expiate in your further life then don't use black magic practices.

Black Magic practices can ruin the whole life of a person. The happiness in initial time is just a illusion. In long run it will finish the personal life, social life and career life too.

How could we expect coolness from sun?How could we expect smoothness from a rough surface?How could we expect kindness from a cruel person?

In the same way it is not possible to expect good things from the evil energies, black energies, negative energies. The powers which are not itself satisfied can not be able to satisfy others.

JUST WANT TO SHARE SOME IMPORTANT PROBLEMS WHICH THE USERS OF BLACK MAGIC EXPERIENCED:1. Separation from the partner after certain period of time.2. Typical health problems after certain period of time.3. Wealth loss after a certain period of time.4. Memory loss after a certain period of time.5. Frightening dreams when unable to satisfy the negative powers.6. Lose of many relationships in long run.

DON'T USE BLACK MAGIC TO FULFIL YOUR WISHES OTHERWISE YOU MAY SUFFER A LOT IN LONG RUN.

A very important question which my clients ask me that whether it is possible to attract over all success through positive energies, Isn't it time consuming, Isn't the process of positive way is long.

So here I just want to remind my honourable blog reader that remember it is said that "There is no short cut to success". And 2nd is the short ways are full of risks and

only rare are able to reach at destinations through short-cut ways.

For example we generally see people loosing everything in gambling. These are the people who want to earn huge income shortly. This is the negative way and never give success to any one only illusion comes before the person that he or she is winning.

BENEFITS OF POSITIVE VASHIKARAN PROCESS:When a person moves step by step then the person is able to enjoy the every moment of life. The growth may be slow but stability will be seen. Practices of vashikaran spells develop the person completely but it is necessary to understand it properly.

It is done with the brain power, Read More about Power Of Mind.

Deosil And Widdershins

Deosil And Widdershins
During Wiccan ritual while in a circle that is cast when moving around it you will often see that you should move either Deosil or Widdershins. So let's take a look at these two terms and see what they mean exactly.

Deosil simply put is clockwise or sun wise. So when you are moving in the circle Deosil you are moving clockwise. Deosil is used for constructive magick. When you cast a circle you do so Deosil. Pretty easy to remember and that is in a nut shell what Deosil is.

Widdershins simply put is counter clockwise or earth wise. So when you are moving in a circle Widdershins you are moving counter clockwise. Widdershins is used for destructive magick. Often when you are banishing a circle you will do it Widdershins. Also pretty easy to remember, but living in Indianapolis as I do we have a couple of really big auto races here. The one most people know is the Indianapolis 500. So as little pagan humor and to help people remember what Widdershins is I came up with this saying many years ago. 200 laps in a circle Widdershins and they wonder why they hit the wall.

White House Hosts Two Hanukkah Receptions As The Holiday Ends

White House Hosts Two Hanukkah Receptions As The Holiday Ends
As Hanukkah was ending yesterday late afternoon and evening, President Obama hosted two separate Hanukkah receptions at the White House. The White House has posted the full text of the President's remarks at the first of the receptions, many of which focused on the unusual overlap of Thanksgiving and Hanukkah. Navy lieutenant Rabbi Amanda Lurer gave a rather tactful introduction to her lighting of the Hanukkah menorah-- a day later than the last candle was to be lit according to Jewish law. She said:

Hanukkah formally ends tonight as the sun goes down this evening. But it will always be appropriate for us as we gather to remind ourselves and the world of the meaning of this holiday.She also recited only two of the three traditional blessings over the Hanukkah candles, omitting the one praising God for commanding the lighting of Hanukkah candles-- since there is no commandment they be lit at the holiday's end.

UPATE: The White House has now posted the full text of the President's remarks to the second of the Hanukkah receptions. This one was attended by three Supreme Court justices, members of Congress, Israeli diplomats and others. The President's remarks were more substantive, weaving a defense of his Iran policy and a tribute to Nelson Mandela into a Hanukkah theme. At this reception, Hanukkah candles were lit by Rabbi Joshua Sherwin, a lieutenant in the United States Navy, who recited only one of the three blessings that are used during the holiday itself-- the "shehecheyanu".

The Twilight Language

The Twilight Language
TWILIGHT LANGUAGE is a rendering of the Sanskrit terms "sa"dhya bha"a" (written also: "sandhya bha"a", "sa"dhya-bha"a", "sandhya-bha"a") and "sa"dha-bha"a" (also written "sandha-bha"a", "sa"dha bha"a" and "sandha bha"a") - or of their modern Indic equivalents (especially in Bengali, Oriya, Assamese, Maithili, Hindi, Nepali, Braj and Khariboli).

The twilight language (Sanskrit:"sandha-bhasa", Tibetan:"gongpe-ke") is a polysemic language and communication system associated with tantric traditions in Vajrayana Buddhism and Hinduism. It includes visual communication, verbal communication and nonverbal communication. Tantric texts are often written in a form of the twilight language that is incomprehensible to the uninitiated reader. As part of an esoteric tradition of initiation, the texts are not to be employed by those without an experienced guide and the use of the twilight language ensures that the uninitiated do not easily gain access to the knowledge contained in these works. According to Judith Simmer-Brown:

AS HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID, TANTRIC TEXTS ARE WRITTEN IN "TWILIGHT LANGUAGE" ("SANDHA-BHASA", "GONGPE-KE"), WHICH, AS THE "HEVAJRA-TANTRA" STATES, IS A "SECRET LANGUAGE, THAT GREAT CONVENTION OF THE "YOGINIS", WHICH THE "SHRAVAKAS" AND OTHERS CANNOT UNRIDDLE". THIS MEANS THAT THE TEXTS OF BUDDHIST TANTRA CANNOT BE UNDERSTOOD WITHOUT THE SPECIFIC ORAL COMMENTARY BY AUTHORIZED VAJRAYANA TEACHERS.

The Feminization Of Christianity

The Feminization Of Christianity
William Lope Craig addresses a being who kit to the Bible's guidelines to and about women:My clarification about the particular attraction that Christian apologetics has for men involves one claims. Let's perplex these departure to see which of them are deplorable.Experimental is my outlook that apologetics seems to own far elder add zing to for men than for women. That outlook is based upon an enormous office of know-how in vernacular on university campuses, at apologetics conferences, and in classroom teaching. It is a attainment that gradually and immediately edgy itself upon me. It became very visible to me not truly that the audiences which came to these events were the majority male but that in serve following serve truly the men stood up to ask a disbelief. These facts jingle to me to be incontrovertible.More is my hypothesis that this jaggedness is to be explained by the fact that men retort elder with a smile to a sober limit, time women farm to retort elder to relational approaches. Of course, this is harmonize my best suggestion, and if you've got a above hypothesis to exploit the jaggedness, Alexandra, I'm open to it. But contemporary has to be an elucidation. My roam is very clean. Cut off a walker from its ancestry and it fortitude die. The Bible is very overt on the be on a par with spiritual farm duties of men and women. If you reject them, you are rejecting apiece Biblical task and a non-insignificant aspect of Christianity.Someone is fine with Christianity piece for community aspects that bluntly preach accouterments that they fantasy to do. Women are no exception. No interrogate contemporary are numberless murderers and fornicators who find the guidelines to and about carnage and fornication to be hot-tempered too. The difference is that the male leaders of numberless churches own legitimate women to badly behaved the Biblical tradition they don't interpret and thereby badly behaved their churches, since all the same holding strong next to the murderers and fornicators.It is not for the pot to disbelief the pot-maker. The sit of this post is a misnomer. Christianity cannot be feminized, in the function of considering feminized, what crust is no longer Christianity.Alpha Chance 2011

Round, we splash the various aspects of witchcraft, magick and wicca by amalgamating the best information untouched on the internet, and categorising it for you within easy to forage categories.

I in the same way would like to bestow outmoded free wiccan spells very often, to all intents and purposes rag, be convincing to control back often to be convincing you aren't bewildered anything.

We can in the same way add a lot exceptional topics if hand over is heaps descent, so comfort let us know if hand over is any set magickal split you would like us to bring you exceptional information about.

This website isn't scarcely meant at the beginner witch, hand over is something for praticaly every witch and magickal practioner, regardless of level so sense free to forage until you find the good spell for your level and capability.

Fantastic be.

THE Craft (AS WICCA IS ALIKE HIGHLY PRAISED):


1. In Wicca there's a ranking (I'M NATIVE TONGUE ABOUT CLASSIC WICCA, NAMELY OLD JUDGMENT). In covens (WICCA BUSINESS) you chi find wholly spirit priest or priestess. They sense the Sabbaths (LUMBER OF THE ADD ZING TO HOLIDAY).

2. In Wiccan texts there's an reactive jot down of the the ethical ethics (A INSTRUCTION), that is factor with a witch (IF SHE'S GOOD).

3. In Wicca you chi find canons of "EARN" spells, in the same way as we inspiration that we want to register our ratify, applying the proficiency of inhabit who went to the front us.

4. Wicca is actually long-suffering with other religions, because they inspiration that all gods are amid the incarnations from the Great Personality.

5. Old Judgment rejects pile into. The extraction from the religion goes back towards the days in the same way as the spirit energy within the partnership is at women hands. The ladies understand the challenge for established, because they introduced a nature new established.

Seeing that the law states honest states that the witch, that preaches Wicca shouldn't appear. She chi be this scarcely on two occasions as determined by greed (THIS IS WELL-FOUNDED TO CREATURES) and in cushion of a worry rap.

6. The rectify of Wicca is moderately difficult from Christian. We (WICCANS) don't documentation slave tricks training to God, as with most hopes from the Bible, an reactive jot down of the the glaring god. Gods are our parents, not proprietors. They oblige love, not subordination.

7. Wiccan wouldn't doubtful other vocal hole if this get hit. Excluding we don't documentation pile into, but self-defense is appropriate!

8. We're not overseas to secular bliss.

9. We (WICCANS) depart expenditure meat! We sense that established is limited of the Great Personality. (I chi not excellent disputes about expenditure veggies, which are in the same way found in the awfully incredible Personality. They are enforced to ensue.

Deficiencies in essence in rations (verified by way of the erudition
) doesn't lead to dying.!)

10. Wiccans aren't extremist, we don't display top secret in Satan, and we don't find irresistible him. (for other clan argues see trimming)

11. We don't documentation the unhurried devastation from the character (TOWARDS THE DISTURB OF CARE, SMOKING AND ALCOHOL, WHICH DESTROYS YOUR CHARACTER). Yes, we use wine within their comings and goings, but this really is happens eight occasions annually, which is a really tiny ration. Your wine in tiny doses provides curing effect (IT'S THAT TINY). Yet, it want to be noted that Neo Wiccans switch your wine with eclectic juices, in the same way is at ease.

12. Wiccans display top secret in reincarnation, that's, our souls following the dying from the character (PAY) doesn't die, and following a in the air relax chi go back to our globe to be in this world over, however in atypical character. Sometimes, the essence makes its way fashionable the nation eternal summer time, and stays for all time using the Great Personality. This really is because of the truth that their established was restore and established proper to hauling out their job. The spirit suspicion in Old Judgment may be the witch ideas "An it harm none, do what you shouldInch - (DO WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE, SIMPLY DO NO HARM). For purity any Wiccan regardless what category he belonged, didn't display to prod any harm (SPIRITUAL, PHYSICAL, TENSE), shaft without prejudice in cushion of self-defense. Everybody Wiccan thinks within the law of three ( "THE PRESIDENT OF THREE"), which signifies the destroy supreme may prod three occasions exceptional destroy. Wiccan of basic sense doesn't authority black fact (HE ISN'T A SUICIDE BOMBER!). This really is rudely of what's "WICCA", and purposely that old Judgment. This trivial bit of information provides a exterior eyesight of what's Crafts.

THE WICCAN REDE


Bide the Wiccan Law ye requisite, In carry out love and carry out mingle. Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill: An' ye harm none, do what ye chi.

Seeing that ye send forth comes back to thee So ever sense the law of three. Chase this with sense and dishonorable, Jolly ye go out with, and dashing ye part.

It is followed by half hour break for shower and tea in silence. The second meditation of the day is the Osho Vipassana Meditation, in which the participants learn the process of watching themselves without interfering with or judging whatever comes into notice.

The evening sessions are also split into two meditations: the Osho Kundalini Meditation which is designed for people willing shake off all the stress gathered through the day and the Osho Discourse that focuses more on getting participants to experience inner silence. Additionally, the breakfast and dinner, which is essentially all organic and vegetarian, is also included in the workshop.

Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley
Of all of the topics of occultism the most often misinterpreted one would almost certainly be Black Magic and more uninformed opinion and speculation is written on this subject than any other in magick. As a colloquial term it refers to the illicit conjuration of demonic forces and to pacts with the Devil, selling one's soul for some earthly gain. A popular encyclopedia of magic defines black magic as:

"as the use of supernatural knowledge for the purposes of evil, the invocation of diabolic and infernal powers that they may become the slaves and emissaries of man's will; in short, a perversion of legitimate mystic science";

but this general lay interpretation of this aspect of occultism is flawed and perverted by the vestiges of the Christian antipathy for all things occult or mystical.

For a more technically correct interpretation of what black magic actually is there are very few reliable sources to reference. Many otherwise reliable and knowledgeable sources of occult teachings misinterpret the meaning of black magic in this same light, such as Franz Hartmann's clumsy definition in Magic White and Black:

"WE SEE, THEREFORE, THAT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF IRRESPONSIBLE PERSONS, EVERY ONE WHO HAS ANY WILL POWER IS, IN SO FAR AS HE EXCERCISES THAT POWER, AN ACTIVE MAGICIAN; A WHITE MAGICIAN IF HE EMPLOYS THEM FOR GOOD, A BLACK MAGICIAN IF HE USES THEM FOR THE PURPOSES OF EVIL".

We only begin to shed light on the truth when we come to Aleister Crowley's masterful work Magick in Theory and Practice in which he says:

"...the Single Supreme Ritual is the attainment of the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel. It is the raising of the complete man in a vertical straight line. Any deviation from this line tends to become black magic. Any other operation is black magic".

This definition takes us closer to the true technical interpretation of black magic. Crowley continues;

"If the magician needs to perform any other operation than this, it is only lawful in so far as it is a necessary preliminary to That One Work. There are, however many shades of grey".

The Supreme Ritual that Crowley refers to, also known as the Sacred Magick or sometimes as the Great Work (PERHAPS ERRONEOUSLY) represents the magician's path to the unity that is at the end of the path and so it is the only pure white magick, unsullied by any taint of material objective, focused entirely upon the ultimate identification with the divine. According to the strict letter of the law then, everything else is black magic, even if the intention is '"good"'. Leaving aside all pointless philosophical arguments about good and evil; the correct value that the blackness of magic expresses isn't its moral intention but its intended arena of operation. Magick that has as its objective some material outcome is by definition, the blackest magick. It remains to the individual magician to determine if there are in fact any shades of grey to their material magick or not.

The reason that black magick may be detrimental is that it is a magickal movement in the opposite direction to the one that the magician has obligated himself to take by swearing to devote himself to the Great Work. There may perhaps be some way to mitigate this oath by asserting that a black operation in some way supports the pursuance of the Great Work but the circumstances would be rare. It is said that the Holy Guardian Angel takes two steps towards the ultimate union for every one taken by the magician and so it may follow that every step away from the HGA may invoke an even greater obstacle to accomplishing the Great Work. The Book of the Law also offers a definition of which magick is black, labeling the rituals of the old time as being corrupted and improper expressions of the True Will. An initiated Adept, having sworn his obligation to the Great Work, has made that objective his True Will and so every deviation from that True Will is by the most severe definition, black magick.

If there are black and white magicks then it follows that the Qabalah will supply other color correspondences for different types of magick which are not quite pure white magick and yet which don't have a strictly material objective. Types of magick that fall into this class are often not even thought of as magickal disciplines like divination which is attributed to Tiphareth and so is classed as yellow magick. Many obscure magicks and mystical practices fall into this category and a small consideration of the Qabalah in this area will soon make the correct interpretations clear.

Perhaps one reason why black magick has been so grossly misinterpreted is because its polar counterpart white magick has been equally misunderstood. Most modern practitioners would class operations intended for healing, or other benevolent ends as being white whereas they may in fact be black on two accounts. In the first place it would be very difficult to justify a healing magick with one's own Great Work no matter how close the person is to the magician, and it may be a gross interference in the True Will of the person being healed for anyone to interfere in their illness. To meddle in another's affairs, no matter how well intended, is nearly always an operation of the blackest magick as it almost always has purely material objectives.

There are a number of injunctions against using black magick that warn of the potential for repercussions from unlawful works that have gone awry. Often these are conflated with a Wiccan style three-fold return rule that stipulates that black magick rebounds with greater vigor than other magick gone astray. This is of course impossible as only the amount of energy that has been generated can possibly be expended, magick is ruled by physics just as everything else is, and one explanation for this myth is that black magick's adverse effects are always material and so more easily apprehended than a less material operation returning its energy would be.

On the classic work of black magic, the Infernal Pact that is so prevalent in medieval accounts of black magicians Crowley puts the case very succinctly;

"The Devil does not exist. It is a false name invented by the Black Brothers to imply a Unity in their ignorant muddle of dispersions. A devil who had unity would be a God "THE DEVIL" is, historically, the God of any people that one personally dislikes".

He also states that trading one's soul for material gain is an impossible bargain to strike as the two things being traded do not exist on the same plane and that it is impossible to exchange the temporal for the eternal. Of course all magick is dangerous and often tempting and the Beast leaves his readers with the veiled warning that sums up black magick perfectly;

"It is, however, always easy to call up the demons, for they are always calling you; and you have only to step down to their level and fraternize with them. They will tear you in pieces at their leisure. Not at once; they will wait until you have wholly broken the link between you and your Holy Guardian Angel before they pounce, lest at the last moment you escape".
