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.

Yule Gifts And A Happy Holiday

Yule Gifts And A Happy Holiday
I do hope you had a wonderful Christmas Day/Feast of Frau Holle/winter break yesterday - whatever you call the festive holiday and whatever you were doing.For me it was a slightly sad time because my mum passed away earlier this year and I still miss her. However, I spent the day with my partner and his mum, dad, sister, brother-in-law, niece and nephew. We ate and drank too much, played a new version of Monopoly,tried out the Kinect Adventures on the Xbox 360and did the kind of fun stuff that families do together at this time of year.I also got some wonderful witchy presents, some of which you can see in the picture above, including a bottle of mulled wine called Witches' Delight, a bottle of mead, a box of chocolates, the Earth Pathways Diary, the Witches' Calendar 2012, a black scrying mirror and a black velvet dressing gown from Marks and Spencer that I think would double quite well as a ritual robe.Today is Boxing Day and I'm going to be visiting friends and making merry!Happy Holidays!Links and previous related posts:http://www.badwitch.co.uk/2007/12/things-to-celebrate-on-december-25-if.htmlhttp://www.badwitch.co.uk/2011/11/choosing-pagan-diary-for-2012.htmlhttp://www.marksandspencer.com/Cotton-Rich-Velour-Dressing-Gown/dp/B004GBSKJMhttp://www.badwitch.co.uk/2011/11/eclipse-new-moon-and-dark-mirrors.htmlhttp://www.badwitch.co.uk/2008/01/magical-mead.htmlXbox 360 250GB Console with Kinect Sensor: Includes Kinect AdventuresMonopoly Electronic Banking Edition (London UK)

The Hoodoo Truth Black Hawk 4 Sale

The Hoodoo Truth Black Hawk 4 Sale
Average, Momma Starr and Dr. Lovebug stomach in black and white pieces bigger at the blog Old Die Swanky in the direction of a practice that is alleged to be occurring online. That practice is the sale of Black Hawk as a spirit and the sale of spiritual products complete by settle who do not work with Black Hawk. Let me carry out on the earliest turnaround.

Secret message can advertise a spirit. It' can't be done. The spirits are not slaves. They are not plants. They are not our pets. Everybody who dares to pang to advertise a spirit is no short vacation than a slave master trafficking at all beings as Black Hawk and mum spirits were at all beings in life. So not a short time ago is it error to do so, it honestly can't be done particle. If you pang to secure Black Hawk you preference not undertake Black Hawk. Black Hawk and Black Hawk acquaintance decides who he preference work with.

Now, I stomach never come across someone attempting to actually advertise Black Hawk. I stomach found a site that sells what they connection a "starter kit". Fairly there's nothing error with that but why would ego call for whatever thing so generic that anyone to boot gets? Why not honestly let Black Hawk lead you to the items yourself? Of course that's honestly my plan. If you don't person having the scrupulous vastly stuff as anyone to boot, as well as by all feed go for it. Nonetheless, if one comes across a disposition claiming to actually advertise Black Hawk's spirit, as in a categorical bucket with the spirit of Black Hawk included, as well as run! For example it's a imitation and the disposition commercial it is a con-artist.

Distinctive turnaround online comes from settle who've never been qualified how to work with Black Hawk and who honestly turn it, do their own thing, and as well as extensively lie or undertaking that they were qualified these belongings. The easiest way to notice someone enactment b.s. and claiming they were qualified this is seeing that these settle do their own thing. So quite of a galvanized bucket they may perhaps honestly toggle a small pot. In the pot is extensively honestly colorless sand and they may enclose an Indian degree on top of the sand. Approximately the pot may be all kinds of Indian belongings. And this is extensively offered as Black Hawk's altar. So these settle don't get the picture that the glasses case why a galvanized bucket is used is seeing that put on are belongings profound in the rudeness. Now how are you departure to burial garment stuff in a small pot of sand? Altitude the rudeness in the galvanized bucket is special. You don't honestly go modish your plot and suffocate it with rudeness. It's not potting tarnish either. So that's the easiest way to decide if a disposition has very been qualified or if they are honestly making crap up and career it their tradition. For example the fakes don't know what Black Hawk likes and dislikes. They don't know what Black Hawk preference and won't do either.

Utterly I preference carry out on the sale of Black Hawk spiritual supplies. Ideally they call for be complete by settle who actually work with Initiate Black Hawk and who can connection upon him to satisfy the oils, incense, powders, etc., with his power. In advance settle who are making these products are commercial the products inadequate Black Hawk's blessing. Yes it's good that unpreventable settle are actually using real family tree, herbs and other natural ingredients. Nonetheless, if Black Hawk hasn't blessed the products as well as it's not moving not as powerful as products that stomach been blessed. So if you are departure to secure Black Hawk spiritual products as well as cheer secure them from toil who stomach actually been qualified how to work with Initiate Black Hawk, toil whom Black Hawk has designate himself, absolutely than settle who declare to work with Black Hawk but who are honestly making up crap and commercial products to make money.

Now, one disposition online whom I know who has very been called to work with Initiate Black Hawk and who has been qualified the pedantic way to work with him, his likes and dislikes, and what he preference and won't do, is Momma Starr at Old Die Swanky. She sells Black Hawk spiritual products which Initiate Black Hawk has blessed with his power. Dr. Lovebug afterward has been qualified to work with Initiate Black Hawk.

Old Die Swanky Black Hawk Position


For me, it all boils down to observe. You must observe the spirits. I definitely do not buy modish this belief that seeing that someone desires to work with a spirit as well as they are entitled to work with that spirit. I know numberless settle from other backgrounds come from this mind-frame and they really desire to let that belief go. The spirits are not our slaves. They are not genies-in-bottles to counteract our every beck and connection.

One snooty thing, working with Black Hawk is a fondness. You can't honestly connection upon Black Hawk seeing that you desire whatever thing and as well as honestly "put him on rest" until the afterward time you desire whatever thing. Animated settle don't prefer to be treated prefer that. Self-confidence don't prefer it either. Convey Initiate Black Hawk observe and exercise this mischievously seeing that it is horrible.

Moved With A Desire Of Serving You Vow Before The Most Sacred Virgin Mary And The Whole Court Of Heaven

"Almighty, everlasting God, I, John McLaughlin... moved with a desire of serving You, vow before the most sacred Virgin Mary, and the whole court of heaven, to Your divine majesty, perpetual poverty, chastity and obedience in the Society of Jesus," When Nixon Aide John McLaughlin became a Jesuit in 1947, that traditional vow was strictly interpreted. Moreover, Jesuits lived in community in their own houses, wore only black, and worked mostly in missionary or teaching assignments. In recent years all that has been changing. Some members of the Society of Jesus rent their own apartments, wear business suits or blue jeans, and work at various professions, including politics. Plastic Piece. McLaughlin, now 47, has become one of this new breed. Once an editor on America magazine and a popular lecturer on sex ("Intimacy Before Marriage, Intimacy Outside Marriage"), McLaughlin turned to politics in 1970. He became a Republican, ran for the U.S. Senate from Rhode Island (John Pastore retained the seat), and then in 1971 went to work as a speechwriter on the White House staff at a salary of about 30,000. To distinguish between his sacerdotal and political roles, he abandoned the Roman collar ("a one-inch piece of plastic")" except for church events. Last week McLaughlin's superior, the Very Rev. Richard Cleary, Jesuit provincial of New England, issued a statement dissociating the Society of Jesus from McLaughlin's views and summoned him to report to Boston for prayer and reflection.

Pagans Of Seekers Temple Face Discrimination In Beebe Arkansas

Pagans Of Seekers Temple Face Discrimination In Beebe Arkansas

The Huffington Post By Yasmine Hafiz

Bertram and Felicia Dahl initially got a supportive response from the local government of Beebe, Arkansas, when they announced their intentions to open a church in the garage behind their home, but Mayor Mike Robertson completely changed his mind upon hearing that the Dahls' place of worship was a pagan church, reports Arkansas Matters.

Dahl explained on the website of Seekers Temple that once he inquired about renting out a nearby park for the 12th annual Arkansas Pagan Pride festival, he was quoted an unusually high fee and promptly served with a Cease and Desist Notice from the city, though the temple hadn't opened yet.

Seekers Temple said that Robertson claimed that the property was not zoned for commercial use, despite the existence of other commercial buildings on the same street. During a meeting with Robertson, he reportedly told them that they "would not be opening a Pagan anything" in the town, and that they would be barred from the docket if they tried to attend a town meeting. An attempt to get a permit application on March 14, 2014, at City Hall, was also denied.

City Attorney Barret Rogers told Arkansas Matters that the property could not operate as a temple due to the zoning laws. However, the property's R-2 zoning designation allows places of worship and private nonprofits with conditional and special use permits, a category which Seekers Temple falls into.

Robertson has gone on public record in the past as a staunch defender of Christianity, apparently to the exclusion of other religions. The Arkansas Times reported on a 2010 city newsletter written by Robertson which read in part:

It is my opinion and the Beebe City Council's that government leaders must pray to God as the true leader of the nation and that a nation cannot exist if they are not one nation under God trusting in God as the leader. It is my opinion government has allowed non-believers far too many liberties taking God out of our daily lives. As mayor of this city I will continue to open our meeting with a prayer and a pledge to our country - one nation under God.

Please remember in the coming November election for leaders of this nation to elect only those who will stand firm doing the will of God and not their will. If placing God or the simple mentioning of his holy name in this newsletter is offensive to some; so be it. I do not and will not apologize, ever, for giving him the praise he is due for all that he has done for our blessed country. Not now, not ever in the future, should we turn our backs to our creator.

Dahl reportedly reached out to his alderman to ask for assistance. When Arkansas Matters contacted the unnamed alderman for information, he reportedly only would make one comment on record, which was, "that man's God isn't my God."

Seekers Temple isn't giving up, despite the difficulties they face. They are planning to attend the town meeting on June 23 to speak out about their unfair treatment, and are encouraging all pagans in the area to attend.
