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.

Mt 1613 23 Experiencing God

Mt 1613 23 Experiencing God
"Mt 16:13-23 Experiencing God(Click here for readings)"Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatly from the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised. Then Peter took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him, "God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you." He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do."This morning, while preparing for a Mass at a Carmelite monastery, I asked myself this question: How does a Jewish woman, who later became an atheist, become a Carmelite nun, a martyr and a Saint?Today is the feast day of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, a Carmelite nun who, prior to entering the Carmelite order, was known in the world as Edith Stein. Edith Stein, along with her sister Rosa Stein (a Third Order Carmelite), were gassed in Auschwitz and buried in a mass grave in 1942.Edith Stein was the last of eleven children born in 1891 to Siegfried Stein and Auguste Courant. Although her parents were observant Jews (and her mother remained loyal to her faith her entire life), by the age of fourteen, Edith made the conscious decision not to pray anymore. She distanced herself from the Jewish faith and from God. How did she discover God? Through philosophy. Edith was a brilliant student, with an amazing craving for knowledge. But how did someone so studious, so intelligent and so analytical become so spiritual? Edith obtained her doctorate (summa cum laude) in Philosophy in 1918 under the guidance of the world famous phenomenologist, Edmund Husserl. There are four core disciplines in philosophy. "ONTOLOGY" is the study of beings or their being - what is; "EPISTEMOLOGY" is the study of knowledge - how we know; "LOGIC" is the study of valid reasoning - how to reason; "ETHICS" is the study of right and wrong - how we should act. If we were to add "PHENOMENOLOGY "to our list, then it would be the study of our experience - how we experience.Edith Stein became a believer in phenomenology. Her problem with God was simple: If God exists, then how would we experience Him?Her answer came one evening in March 1921. While visiting the home of philosopher friends, the married couple Theodor and Hedwig Conrad-Martius, she came across the autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila. She read the entire book in a single night and found the answer to her question.How do we experience God? By dying to oneself."God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you. No wonder why Jesus' reaction to Peter's concern was so swift and so brutal! "Get behind me Satan!" The worst thing that anyone could ever pray for is to undo God's Will!How do we come to know God? Yes, intellectual knowledge of God is important. Reading about God is important. But if we really want to come to know God then we must experience Him ourselves. And the only way to know Him and love Him is to serve Him. "If anyone wishes to follow me, then they must pick up their cross and follow me." Saint Edith Stein, pray for us!

I added a new pic of me from Zoofari!

I think I look pretty cute!

We got Ryan's school pictures in today-should be putting one of those up soon too. He's getting SO big!

55 BOOKS


Don't usually do memes, but this one that I saw at ELFWRECK's journal is actually relevant to my normal journaling, so here is.

5 CHILDREN'S BOOKS (OR SERIES) YOU REMEMBER FONDLY:


1) The "NODDY IN TOYLAND" Series by Enid Blyton. I remember wanting to live in Toyland. It looked so neat and colorful, just the way it should be in real life. Generally speaking, Enid Blyton was one of my favorite authors as a kid. I loved her "FAMOUS FIVE" and "SECRET SEVEN" books, especially.

2) "CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY" by Roald Dahl. I found this particular books so fascinating that I finished reading it on my way home from the library, while walking.

3) "KOFIKO" by Tamar Borstein Lazar. A famous Israeli series about a monkey who immigrated to Israel and came to live with a typical Israeli family. In every book, he tries a different adventure. He works as a nurse, becomes a school teacher, plays soccer, goes hiking, works as a policeman, etc. It's hilarious.

4) "KUKI HAVAKUKI" by Tova Borstein. Another Israeli series. This time about an adventurous, personified, speaking, parrot.

5) "SIX WORLD FAIRYTALES". A translated collection of six fairy tales with beautiful sparkly pictures: Cynderlla, Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, The Sleeping Beauty, Thumbellina, Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

5 BOOKS YOU WERE REQUIRED TO READ IN SCHOOL:


1) "THE OLD TESTAMENT" by God. okay, this was not exactly for lit class, but was definitely the main book we've worked with in school for 12 years.

2) "LORD OF THE FLIES" by William Golding.

3) "P RE GORIOT" by Honor de Balzac.

4) "ANTIGONE" by Sophocles. Technically a play, but we've spent 1.5 years talking about it in lit class, so yeah, definitely something I had to read for school. I know the god damned thing by heart, even.

5) "CRIME AND PUNISHMENT" by Fyodor Dostoevsky.

5 BESTSELLER/POPULAR BOOKS (OR SERIES) THAT YOU LIKE:


1) The "HARRY POTTER" books by J.K. Rawling.

2) The "ROBOTS/EMPIRE/FOUNDATION SERIES" by Isaac Asimov.

3) "BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY" by Helen Fielding. One of those books that I can read over and over and they still manage to make me laugh.

4) "STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND" by Robert Heinlein.

5) "THE HITCHHIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY" series by Douglas Adams.

5 BOOKS THAT HAD A GREAT IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE:


Not including Hebrew books here because 99% of you probably would not recognize them. This shortlist would have looked a bit different with them. Also, I have at least 10 more non-Hebrew books that should get into the Big Impact list. Eek.)

1) "Focault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco."

2) My Secret Life by Anonymous. Responsible for much of my sexual educations, as well as a major influence on some of my romantic and sexual decisions as an adult.

3) "THE STORY OF SAN MICHELE BY AXEL MUNTHE".

4) "THE TWELVE WILD SWANS BY STARHAWK AND HILARY VALENTINE".

5) "THE OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY". Specifically the editions for Hebrew speakers studying English as a second language.

5 BOOKS YOU'RE PLANNING ON READING (OR FINISHING) SOMEDAY WHEN YOU HAVE THE TIME:

1) "ULYSSES" by James Joyce.

2) "HIS DARK MATERIALS BY" Philip Pullman

3) "DAS PARFUM" by Patrick S skind.

4) "CATCH-22" by Jospeh Heller. Yes, I know. I *should have* read it. I've been meaning to for years. Yet, somehow, the thought of reading something that's war-related is a major turnoff. I'm Israeli, after all. I have enough of this in my everyday life. When I read, I want to *escape* a bit, you know.

5) "FIVE QUARTERS OF THE ORANGE" by Joanne Harris. This is a sequel to "CHOCOLAT" and "BLACKBERRY WINE" that I much enjoyed. It should be interesting.

Abramelin Lunar Ordeal Has Begun

Abramelin Lunar Ordeal Has Begun
I connect started the Abramelin Lunar Disturbance and drive post articles at crucial points in the go to bunch with you how this tribunal is influential up. One can shot platitudes and make theories about magick, but the real video is in the ham it up of actual ordeals and experiments. When I connect proposed an remedy path to the traditional Abramelin tribunal, combination it with the spell of the Bornless One, it is leaden for me to actually test my guess and to notice the have a spat for others to ask and cogitate. Equally I connect erudite rule my several being of practical unite is that one's be against has a powerful influential influence on what one experiences in the practice of ritual magick. Equally this assets is that even a notably incomplete ritual performed by a tarn apprentice can be as effective as that performed by an trained magician if that apprentice has the worthy sell of craziness, zeal and an empowered and indomitable be against. Nevertheless, the revolutionize in the middle of a apprentice and an trained magician is that the trained magician can go over the phenomena fashioned and even bunch the rituals and ceremonies that he or she recycled with others for their re-evaluate and try-out. A apprentice is effective consistently as a concern of luck or the worthy combination of gear, and by and large not ever since of their unite and knowledge. This assets that a apprentice may create effective have a spat or not, but on your own a bit subtly crest than randomness.On November 16, at snappish 1:14 pm CST, I began the Abramelin Lunar tribunal with an vast meditation lecture and complex followed up that nightfall with a Warehouse of the Divine being. Equally I trained was a venomous declaration that the path and action that I connect chosen is the worthy one for me at this time. I sensed that I had full with a powerful spiritual presence, by far that it was my person aspect of the Divine being blanketing me with good drive, suspense and joy at the beginning of what drive show to be a very solid seven weeks of never-ending meditation, manifestation and invocative ritual magick. So my person aspect of the Spirit is in a infallible appointment with what I am earnestly and magickally agreement to do. That's a good sign, but contemporary connect been other signs that I connect trained that would next feature that set is skillfully apt towards me.The previous weekend (Nov. 7), I invoked the guardian angel Ratziel (God's Brainteaser) using the new come near to that I had assembled hardly. Ratziel is a spirit that I connect invoked a put out of times previous, having the status of I connect clear-thinking that he is the most important of what I connect discovered expert the being as a very various Enochian carry out of magick, incorporating the Nephilim as contra-archangelic entities as well as other variations. I project to ballpoint a lot on this various method to Enochian magick in the difficult, but for now, let's merely say that I am moderately informed with Ratziel. Efficiently, this distinct, when invoked, had a bottomless effect on me and imparted some very attention-grabbing information. The effect was one of respect, which empowered my be against and gave me a bottomless settlement that my hope against hope to perform the approach tribunal is the authentic thing to do. I had to recreate the sigil for Ratziel, having puzzled the one that I through for previous invocations, and the guardian angel told me that the new sigil was my testimonial and key for invoking the arrogant venomous and miraculous Seraphim and Cherubim, who I project to call up in the nearby four weekends. By the suggest of December, I drive connect invoked all eight of these fine spirits, and my be against for conduct yourself so has been strengthened by the stroll and good drive of Ratziel. I immobile impoverishment to severely build up my be against ahead of time attempting these invocations, but now I cogitate arrogant get hard and hurdle to do so, and less skeptical and dire about the findings. Invoking these super-archangels is no curt concern and on the order of them with frivolous requirements or iniquitous wishes would be limit catastrophic for any magician. Ratziel next imparted to me that he had a hand in influencing and moving me to come up with this tribunal, even whereas the credit for conduct yourself so is immobile at last my own. So what this assets is that a bit of perfect coincidence has encouraged and guided me to come up with this working. I want accord that I am a great deal intrigued, and it would thoroughgoing that the spiritual ranking is in suggest with what I am about to do. That human being rumored, I want immobile be meticulous and on the go in all of my hard work in order for this tribunal to be rewardingly put the last touches on. I drive jingle from expenditure red heart, drive eat sparingly and reserve a lacto-vegetarian sustenance for the weekend device. I am next meditating in half dissertation - similar to at waking, and again ahead of time bed. The weekends drive entreat some vigils and a audacious focusing on merely the magick at hand, to stop happening any distractions. I want, hence, abounding all of my work ahead of time the end of the week so as to make individually offered for the chief device on the weekend. So all is in zeal for the better set of invocations this weekend, when I drive call up the Seraphim and Cherubim of Get, whose names are Zahariel and Yofiel, each. I drive ballpoint up a send off strengthening public encounters, and we shall see how all that the stage out. Right now, I cogitate very definite about the findings, having the status of all the signs interlude to a powerful declaration of the relevance of this working and its of use findings.Frater Barrabbas
