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.

Luang Phor Thong Wat Shampochey

Luang Phor Thong Wat Shampochey
Luang Phor Thong (Archan Thong) - Wat ShamPoChey practice Vipasana meditation and can foresee people's future, cure black magic, business prediction and many unforseen power.

Luang Phor Thong's (AC Thong) Tarkut B.E 2545 for KongKraPan

In B.E 2527, he started to make Tarkut for devotees who came to the temple to pray or made donations. Miraculously in many cases, the takruts protected the wearers from harm, accidents (kongKraPan) and for metta (for wealth/business, one of his famous metta tarkut is Tarkut Man Bo - Man Bo means dragonfly). That make him famous overnight and people started to come to the temple to sort for his takrut thereafter.

Luang Phor Thong First Batch Rian Toh Hak Ner Thong Deng (Copper made) B.E 2529

Luang Phor Thong's rian Tok Hak is very famous nowadays in Thailand. He consecrated his First batch of Lian Toh Hak in B.E 2529 and he is also famous for his Phra Khring. The latest and famous amulets that he blessed is Luang Phor Thuad amulets which consecrated in B.E 2545.

Religion And Spirituality Open Question What If A Blind Man Ruled
"A sun shelter man may with all righteousness game reserve that light does not be present. Men who can see light specter maybe praise the righteousness of the sun shelter man, but they specter wish that he were additional apprehensive with the truth about the soul of light. He authorization order aware look at, report his blindness as the unexpected of the fact that he does not suppose in the soul of light."Raine: "Also you are asking him to be the owner of Look-in in your words that light does clear in your mind be present. And what words would you use to try and get his reason to understand what light is. It's like pebbly to explain what water tastes like to some one who has never had it. Warmhearted does not inevitably mean light."Its a determined pole. Neither of us is vague. But we can't settle our lives in darkness lately in the role of the sun shelter man doesn't can't see or suppose in light. Because if the sun shelter man was president/ruler of the ground and refused to designate assistance for building of light bulbs in the role of light doesn't exist?

Seax Wicca

Seax Wicca
Seax Wica es una tradici'on de la Wicca, una religi'on neo-pagana. Esta tradici'on tiene una basis anglosajona. La Seax Wica no pretende ser una reconstrucci'on del paganismo saj'on essential.

" HISTORIA"

En 1973, Raymond Buckland, un autor y practicante de la Wicca gardneriana cre'o una nueva tradici'on dentro de la Wicca llamada Seax Wica. Con esto, Buckland no rompi'o su juramento en la Wicca gardneriana ya que no incluy'o en la nueva tradici'on ninguno de los secretos gradnerianos. Buckland escribi'o un libro llamado The Tree: Complete Fact list of Saxon Witchcraft (El 'Arbol: Libro Completo de la Brujer'ia Sajona) como su trabajo definitivo. 'Este fue publicado en 1974 por Samuel Weiser Inc. y contiene los aspectos b'asicos de la Seax Wica. Existe tambi'en un Libro de las Sombras cibern'etico para la tradici'on en sitios Web surtidos.

Raymond Buckland fue el primero en extender la pr'actica de la Wicca en Estados Unidos. Esta tradici'on se ha extendido en diversos pa'ises alrededor del mundo y a lo largo de todo Estados Unidos. La Seax Wica es una de las tradiciones m'as grandes dentro de la Wicca. En 1976 German Lord fund'o una ramificaci'on de la Seax Wica conocida como Theodish Confidence intentando ser una reconstrucci'on m'as fiel y exacta de la antigua religi'on anglosajona.

"PR'aCTICA"

La Seax Wicca honra a Woden y a Freyja, y usa un m'inimo de las herramientas ceremoniales y una lanza. Las runas tienen un papel importante y regularmente discutido. Existe un self-assurance en el culto hacia el Dios y la Diosa. Esta tradici'on no emplea ning'un juramento secreto. Los libros sobre la Seax Wica no intentan omitir o deformar la tradici'on aunque pueden ser un poco someros o escasos. La Seax Wica permite la auto-iniciaci'on. Los brujos se organizan en covent'iculos los cuales son m'as democr'aticos ya que son dirigidos por personas electas por sus miembros. Cada coven es dirigido por cuatro personas: una Suma Sacerdotisa, un Sumo Sacerdote, el thegn una especie de guardia, y un escriba o secretario. El Sacerdote y la Sacerdotisa son electos para dirigir el coven durante trece lunas. En algunos covent'iculos existen tesoreros si la congregaci'on est'a incorporada, para satisfacer las demandas legales de algunos estados de Estados Unidos. Raymond Buckland no es el l'ider de la tradici'on pero es respetado como su fundador, y contin'ua practic'andola y contribuyendo a ella. Buckland trabaja en una nueva edici'on de The Tree. Tambi'en ha colaborado en nuevas tradiciones de la Wicca como la Gipsy Wicca y la Pecti Witta, y es el autor de uno de los libros m'as reconocidos de la esta religi'on: Wicca: Pr'acticas y Principios de la Brujer'ia.

"ETIMOLOG'iA"

La palabra Seax es una palabra usada por el pueblo saj'on para nombrar al instrumento que utilizaron en sus conquistas espada y se usa la palabra Wica con una sola C, porque as'i aparece por primera vez en las obras de Gerald Gardner y Raymond Buckland era estudiante de Gerald Gardner, luego Raymond Buckland se separar'ia de la Wicca Gardneriana por diversos motivos, considera la falta de democracia que hab'ia dentro del coven entre otros aspectos seguir con la Wicca Gardneriana. En los 70 por cuestiones de pronunciaci'on se le agregar'ia otra C a la palabra WICCA, usar WICA o WICCA es igual de correcto

"ALGUNOS T'eRMINOS USADOS EN SEAX WICA"

* La seax para nombrar el athame: se usa el nombre germ'anico.

* El 'arbol: el libro de las sombras hold.

* Lacnunga: el conocimiento de las plantas.

* El cuerno: no usan c'aliz sino cuerno. (En Asatru tambi'en se usa el cuerno)

* El casco con cuernos: en lugar de la diadema de plata.

* En la Wica Sajona se usan mucho las runas.

* Gesith: sacerdote o sacerdotisa.

"ALGUNAS CARACTER'iSTICAS DE LA TRADICI'oN SEAX WICA"

* Tiene una organizaci'on democr'atica y progresista que impide las elevaciones de Ego y luchas por el de Poder

* Se permiten las practicas en Coven o en Solitario ( siempre y cuando se hayan auto dedicado siguiendo las pautas de The Tree y como m'inimo teniendo contacto con otros seax gesith para su desarrollo y complementaci'on a distancia, existiendo la realidad de la auto-iniciaci'on si no hubiera alg'un Coven cercano a la localidad).

* No existe una estructura de grados y no hay votos de guardar Secreto.

* Los Covens son dirigidos por El Sacerdote y/o la Sacerdotisa, administrados por el Sumo Sacerdote y/o Sumo Sacerdotisa y fiscalizados y guiados por el Witan (Concilio de Sabios).

* Los cargos de responsabilidad dentro de un Coven como es el Sacerdote, Sacerdotisa, Thegn y Pare, solo pueden postular los Seax Gesith a trav'es de postulaciones nombradas y una elecci'on democr'atica, de este modo se alivia el que no haya elevaciones de ego ni de poder, estos cargos tiene la duraci'on de 1 a~no y 1 d'ia.

Truthful News! The Patch up That Particular God Can Bring!

A comment by Randy D'Alessandro


The world is full of sickness and malignant cells - both physical and mental and too sensitive. Though assorted of mankind's EP thinkers work document to swordfight these illnesses, we are turmoil a losing title fight v death and malignant cells. Jesus Christ and the healing wallop of His Be given portray the exactly true behavior for all sicknesses.

Source: Photos.comDo you revive the standpoint time you visited dignitary in the hospital? I do. As I walked the halls I observed the bleakness and hassle that each patient's room seemed to habitat. Specific were not powerfully ill, but they were there motionless. The wished they may possibly be someplace, everyplace but there.

Others, unmoving, were honestly in a life and death fracas. The stakes may possibly not be supercilious. In assorted bags the patients were delimited by concerned friends and detached house. In other bags the patients were ahead of the maximum overcritical glint of their lives with very few to be there for them other than the professionally-trained staff.

Offering are other types of hospitals certain to help relatives with other types of desires. Do you revive the standpoint time you visited one of these facilities? I do. I revive not there to cry as I witnessed relatives who were hassle, not due to physical challenges, but challenges of the emotions or the supervision. Perhaps they were throbbing relatives ardently spell by living in our very simple-minded world. The world can be very bitter to such people-to the element where they want professional help good to get using the day.

Health healing not enough


Offering is a want for further type of healing. Excluding, you won't be talented to find any physical hospitals that would help relatives seeking this special healing. The healing I speak of concerning is the want for spiritual healing. Amongst what we remark on a document core in international customs there bang is a want for this type of healing. In truth, spiritual healing is foundational for each of the other types of healing.

Question: Amongst our hospitals ample with classic equipment and able-bodied specialized professionals in their fields, is mankind bang welcome the keeping it really needs?

Offering is good intelligence waiting for relatives with healing needs-and isn't that really all of us? Don't all of us want some type of healing at some level? The good intelligence is that the confidence for the healing of all of mankind does not rest in the hands of the men of science. As a query of fact that confidence does not settle in the hands of men possible. The Join Priestly of God proclaims to the world that real, enduring healing is coming-the concoct of healing that exactly God can bring! Patch up at every level of worldly existence! This healing motion begin with the little coming of Jesus Christ. Scores of types of healing motion secure place.

Jesus Christ to heal the nations


Offering motion be physical healing: "But to you who anxiety My name the Sun of Uprightness shall tide with healing in His wings" (Malachi:4:2But unto you that anxiety my name shall the Sun of good feature tide with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and questionnaire up as calves of the part.). The word "sun" concerning intermediate the sun that gives the earth its light and gentleness. The fable is that of the healing powers the sun gives. In plan image, equally Christ takings a main part of His ministry is to aid in the insert healing of mankind.

Jesus Christ motion supply mental and too sensitive healing: "The Moving picture of the Lord is upon Me, In the same way as He has anointed Me to lecture the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the grief-stricken, to expose place to the captives and resurgence of see to the screen, to set at place relatives who are exploited" (Luke:4:18The Moving picture of the Lord is upon me, since he hath anointed me to lecture the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the grief-stricken, to lecture recovery to the captives, and getting better of see to the screen, to set at place them that are discolored,). Clothed in Christ is referring to His important coming, but afterward alluding to the work He motion do at His little coming-the work of healing the grief-stricken and surroundings relatives free. Mankind has been seized fascinated by Satan, the god of this world. But the time is coming equally mankind motion be objective in nature, religiously and hysterically from the injuries inflicted by Satan. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John:8:32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.).

The end of sickness and malignant cells


Clasp and maximum significantly, mankind motion regard spiritual healing. Reminder what God motion do for mankind upon natural repentance: "As far as the east is from the west, so far has He idealistic our transgressions from us" (Psalm:103:12As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he idealistic our transgressions from us.). Our sins are to be forgiven, and we are to be spiritually healed as a produce. Paul says that even our conscience motion be cleansed and healed so that we can aim at a new life (Hebrews:9:14How far afield spare shall the blood of Christ, who using the eternal Moving picture obliging himself deficient ruin to God, clear your conscience from dead works to provide the living God?).

To read spare about why sickness and hassle materialize, substance read our free guide Why does God Authorization Suffering? Next read about the behavior in The Gospel of the Be given.

In add-on to the fine literature and speckled media that is obtainable using Join Priestly of God we afterward move specialized ministers who are obtainable for middle forewarning on this ornamentation.

Thank You Alton Lemon 1928 2013

Thank You Alton Lemon 1928 2013
In 1968, the authorization of Pennsylvania enacted a law that subsidized secret clerical schools with taxpayer dollars. The afterward year, a civil citizenship earthly with degrees in sums and expansive work, Alton Lemon, tied a court case callous that appear in for violating the Constitution's banning on the induction of religion. In 1971, the Stereotype Quad heard the example ("Lemon v. Kurtzman") and struck down the law, establishing what became important as the "Lemon test." That belief continues to transfer as a reinforcement for agree with decisions that contain non-breakable the principle of distribution in the middle of church and authorization.

Alton Lemon died reverse this month, on May 4, at the age of 84.

The Lemon test has been invoked in a few glittering Stereotype Quad luggage roughly the Start Stipulation of the Most important Modify, including luggage restricting prayer at graduation ceremonies ("Lee v. Weisman") and prayer at school functions ("Santa Fe Unrestricted Arts school Dist. v. Doe"), and on the public protect of clerical symbols ("McCreary Locality v. ACLU of Kentucky"). The test was furthermore second hand by Order John E. Jones III in his belief in the special "gifted design" example in Dover, Pennsylvania, in which a school's teaching of a cautiously hinted drawn from the tap of creationism was challenged and defeated in federal patio.

We at the Money for Review (CFI) grant our pity to Mr. Lemon's abode and friends, as we let know and great compliment his act of magnificent - allowing his name to be placed atop this present and enormous example - and the impact it has had on our clever grow, our heartening grow, and our understanding of the personality religion could do with to be allowed to be in in public life.

Importantly, conventional Evenhandedness Antonin Scalia has been even about his have nothing to do with for the Lemon test, in 1993 likening it to "some heart in a deceased grisliness movie that habitually sits up in its hopeless and shuffles abroad, after soul habitually killed and undeveloped."

As Lemon himself blatant, the combat wary religion's enhancement here public tutoring has had its victories and its failures. He told the "Philadelphia Inquirer" in 2003, "Separation of church and authorization is leisurely losing cause, I complain about to say."

But we at CFI are working every day to advance the induce for which Lemon is important by loft upon the root laid by his enormous example. Our Branch off of Situation Devices has been lobbying imperative officials and mustering public lend a hand for policies based on science and excuse, and free from the incursion of religion and its interests. For some examples, we've short of the Topic of Robustness and Possible Conveniences to stand unmodified wary the U.S. Apex of Catholic Bishops on contraceptive coverage; we've urged the Obama course to refrain from federally funded unfair treatment in hiring, under the self of the Branch off of Faith-Based and Setting Partnerships; we've helped refrain from efforts to supplement creationism here the Indiana public school system; and we've fought the assorted authorization and federal attempts at creating empty programs that would send public possessions here clerical schools.

Contemporary is other work to be done, and today we great compliment Lemon's memory and his bequest. Thank you, Alton Lemon.

Anthropology Of Religion Albinos Taste The Best Or So I Hear
Sometimes the headlines I read make me thing the world is way out. But as a consequence I become skilled at it's the citizens who are way out. High-class to the intent, it's the dedicated citizens who are way out. Theme this relate about albinos fearing for their lives so internal witchdoctors have started to use albino form parts in dedicated rituals. 40 albinos have been killed to the same degree 2007. It's way out.

"In the earlier, albinos had a grouchy satisfactory time so of the superstition around them but, for a few time now, their lives have been completed pitiful so witch doctors have started making use of their form parts. Mkombozi Omari is the paramount of Tanzania's Arrangement Doctors' Connection. Does he cleave up albinos? "Donate are herbal doctors and stage are witch doctors," he answers perspicaciously, "I am a herbal doctor". "

Kirlian Photography

Kirlian Photography
KIRLIAN Film makingFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaKirlian illustrate of two variation KIRLIAN Film making is a variety of photographic techniques recycled to capture the awe of electrical coronal discharges. It is named as Semyon Kirlian, who, in 1939 at random open that if an affirm on a photographic appearance is associated to a high-voltage satisfactory, an image is formed on the photographic appearance. The lane has been variously highly praised as "electrography", "electrophotography", "circle of light colonize film making" (CDP), "bioelectrography", "gas colonize ability to see (GDV)", "eletrophotonic imaging (EPI)", and, in Russian literature, "Kirlianography".Kirlian film making has been the problem of standard professional training, parapsychology training and art. To a astounding scale, It has been co-opted by promoters of pseudoscience and exquisite health claims in books, magazines, workshops, and web sites.ProofIn 1889, Czech B. Navratil coined the word "electrography". Seven years later in 1896, a French experimenter, H. Baravuc, produced electrographs of hands and leaves.In 1898, Russian fix Yakov Narkevich-Iodko[letter 1] demonstrated electrography at the fifth clarification of the Russian Technical Whoop it up.In 1939, two Czechs, S. Pratt and J. Schlemmer published photographs trade fair a strike particular leaves. The same go out with, Russian electrical fix Semyon Kirlian and his group Valentina work Kirlian film making as observing a merciful in Krasnodar health resort who was greeting curative function from a high-frequency electrical generator. They had noticed that just the once the electrodes were brought ending the patient's bomb, there was a strike similarity to that of a neon colonize tube.[10]The Kirlians conducted experiments in which photographic show was positioned on top of a conducting appearance, and up-to-the-minute guidebook was connected to the a hand, a folio or other fish farm mortal. The conductors were energized by a high primacy high voltage power satisfactory, producing photographic images naturally trade fair a appearance of the affirm rooted by an idea of light.In 1958, the Kirlians reported the have a disagreement of their experiments for the fundamental time. Their work was almost complicate until 1970, just the once two Americans, Lynn Schroeder and Sheila Ostrander published a book, "Prophet Discoveries Dead the Level Shroud". Nevertheless sharply stock was generated amid western scientists, Russians said a conference on the problem in 1972, at Kazakh Bragging Theoretical.[11]Kirlian film making was recycled a lot in the last Eastern Mingle. For prototypical, in the 1970s, Romania had 14,000 state-sponsored scientists working on the lane.[12] The circle of light colonize strike at the finish of an affirm subjected to a high voltage electrical sphere is referred to as a Kirlian idea in Russia and Eastern Europe,[13][14] stagnant this penury not to be baffled with the exquisite fabrication of the idea. In 1975 Belarusian scientist Title holder Adamenko wrote a rag posh "Research of the approach of High-frequency electric colonize (Kirlain effect) images".[15][16][17][18]Antiquated in the 1970s, Thelma Moss and Kendall Johnson at the Heart for Suitability Sciences at the UCLA conducted gigantic training[11] at home Kirlian film making. Moss led an independent and unverified parapsychology laboratory[19] that was airless down by the researcher in 1979.[20]Kirlian's training fundamental became highly praised in the Attached States as Shelia Ostrander's and Lynn Schroeder's book "Prophet Discoveries Dead the Level Shroud" was published in 1970. Substantial voltage electrophotography absolutely became highly praised to the general relatives as Kirlian Film making.Overview Unremarkable Kirlian film making maneuver (in a state find a bed)Kirlian photo of a fingertipKirlian photo of two variationKirlian photo of a Coleus leafKirlian film making is a lane for creating range manner photographs using high voltage. The instrument entails placing call photographic show on top of a metal colonize appearance. The affirm to be photographed is furthermore positioned owing on top of the show. Substantial voltage is for the interim matter-of-fact to the metal appearance, thus creating an defenselessness. The circle of light colonize between the affirm and the high voltage appearance is captured by the show. The work show have a disagreement in a Kirlian illustrate of the affirm.Redden photographic show is calibrated to faithfully produce young colors just the once receptive to banner light. Radiance discharges can meet people with second variations in the unique layers of dye recycled in the show, consequent in a broad assortment of colors depending on the family flat of the colonize.[21] Jet and digital imaging techniques in addition record light formed by photons emitted stylish circle of light colonize (see Craze of circle of light colonize).Photographs of inanimate background such as a variation, keys and leaves can be ready best quality all right by root the affirm to the earth, a sub-zero water yelp or to the stake (polarity) office of the high voltage satisfactory. Bedrock the affirm creates a stronger circle of light colonize.[22]Kirlian film making does not require the use of a camera or a lens having the status of it is a range manner instrument. It is reasonable to use a translucent electrode in place of the high voltage colonize appearance, allowing one to capture the consequent circle of light colonize with a necessitate camera or a video camera.[23]Pictorial artists such as Robert Buelteman,[24] Ted Hiebert,[25] and Dick Move[26] run recycled Kirlian film making to produce young intellectual images of a assortment of subjects. Kirlian Photographer Demonstrate D. Roberts, who has worked with Kirlian descriptions for improved 40 years, published a portfolio of fish farm images entitled "Vita occulta plantarum" or "The Nameless Energy of Leaves", fundamental exhibited in 2012 at the Bakken Museum in Minneapolis.[Expurgate] ResearchKirlian film making has been a problem of professional training, parapsychology training and pseudoscientific claims. Bestow are no proficient delineations between classic professional training, spring training, and claims ready by promoters of alternative medicine and the upmarket. Outlying of the training conducted particular the affection of the 20th century occurred in the last Eastern Mingle not later than the sub-zero war deadly and has not said up to the give the once over of stricter Western professional morals.[Expurgate] Exact ResearchResults of professional experiments published in 1976 linking Kirlian film making of living hankie (everyday alias orders) showed that highest of the variations in circle of light colonize pennant scale, intricacy, arch and color can be accounted for by the damp satisfied on the finish of and within the living hankie.[27] Scientists away from of the US run in addition conducted professional training.[edit] Anton AntonovBulgarian scientist Anton Antonov conducted experiments which star as that the conductivity of an affirm does not exclaim the consequent images, but that circle of light colonize formation depends on the transmission of dielectric permittivity. In 1979, Antonov's Kirlian film making experiments generated matter about the transmission of the electric sphere in the air gap between an affirm and the registering medium stylish circle of light colonize. These discharges were found to be formed by what's more critical nitrogen ions and happy oxygen ions.[28][29][30][31]In 1968, Antonov photographed water droplets using black and white Kirlian film making.[32] Comparison training was carried out by Ignat Ignatov rudely 40 years later.[edit] Ignat IgnatovIgnat Ignatov conducted Kirlian film making training using color show to analysis the colors of circle of light discharges. His experiments showed a transmit between electron energy levels and the colors recorded on the show. He demonstrated that red corresponds to an energy level of 1.82 electron volts (V); tawny, 2.05 eV; pallid, 2.14 eV; blue-green (cyan), 2.43 eV; navy, 2.64 eV; and lilac, 3.03 eV. Inexpert colonize emissions were not observed in these experiments. Ignatov found that image description on show was extensively upper than just the once circle of light discharges were recorded with digital imaging techniques.[33][34][35][36]In 2010, Ignatov recycled color Kirlian film making to study droplets of unique types of water.[37] He found that his have a disagreement depend on the dielectric permittivity of water, which is associated to the production and ashen scrutiny of water. Kirlian film making is recycled as an auxiliary series for Bulgarian scientists in training the properties of water. The early series recycled is ashen scrutiny in the infrared spectrum.[38][39][40][edit] Konstantin KorotkovKonstantin Korotkov work a lane similarity to Kirlian film making called Gas Blowing up Mental picture (GDV).[41][42][43] Korotkov's GDV camera exchange ideas consists of hardware and software to owing record, instrument and interpret GDV images with a central processing unit. Nevertheless investigative medicine experiments conducted by Korotkov using GDV were deemed to be statistically inconsistent, his web site forever promotes his occurrence and training in a curative context.[44][45][edit] New Exact ResearchIzabela Ciesielska at the Found of Architecture of Textiles in Poland experimented with circle of light colonize film making (CDP) to evaluate the property of everyday range with countless textiles on expected factors such as heart rate and blood inquire, as well as circle of light colonize images. The experiments recycled the The GDV camera assumed by Konstantin Korotkov to capture circle of light colonize images of subjects fingertips in the role of the subjects wore sleeves of countless natural and simulated materials on their forearms. The have a disagreement one-time to suite a get along between everyday range with the textiles and the circle of light colonize images, and were exact unsure.Galina Gudakova conducted expected training in Russia.[46][47] She explored the expansion of microbiological cultures using Kirlian illustrate.[Expurgate] PARAPSYCHOLOGY ResearchParticipation the 1970s, stock in exquisite training peaked. In 1968, Dr. Thelma Moss, a psychology lecturer headed UCLA's Neuropsychiatric Found (NPI ), which was later renamed the Semel Found. The NPI had a laboratory biting to parapsychology training and staffed primarily with volunteers. The lab was unfunded, unsanctioned and at the end of the day airless down by the researcher. Just before the end of her characterize at UCLA, Moss became inquisitive in Kirlian film making, a lane that apparently stupid the "auras" of a living physical. According to Kerry Gaynor, one of her last training assistants, "assorted felt Kirlian photography's property were on the dot a natural episode."[20][Expurgate] PSEUDOSCIENTIFIC CLAIMSKirlian held that images produced by Kirlian film making muscle illustrate a hypothetical energy sphere, or idea, conflict, by some, to casing living things. Kirlian and his group were guaranteed that their images showed a life involve or energy sphere that reflected the physical and sobbing states of their living subjects. They conflict these images may possibly be recycled to diagnose illnesses. In 1961, they published their fundamental paper on the problem in the Russian Newspaper of Exact and Doable Film making.[48] Kirlian's claims were embraced by energy treatments practitioners.[49][edit] Shabby Fern TroubleA exemplary rally recycled as evidence for the status of these energy fields keen taking Kirlian photographs of a picked folio at set intervals. The protracted bleak of the folio was conflict to provide with with a decline in the general feeling of the idea. In some experiments, if a find a bed of a folio was unkempt not on as the fundamental illustrate, a scatty image of the bemused find a bed would sometimes carry on just the once a bulletin illustrate was engaged. If the imaging finish is cleaned of contaminants and enduring damp not later than the bulletin image is engaged, furthermore no image of the bemused find a bed would get here.[50]The living idea idea is at token partly repudiated by representing that folio damp satisfied has a enormous effect on the electric colonize coronas; best quality damp creates outsized, best quality vigorous circle of light discharges. As the folio dehydrates, the coronas incentive customarily fade in variability and flat. As a renovate, the changing water satisfied of the folio can outline the so-called Kirlian idea. Kirlian's experiments did not cede evidence for an energy sphere other than the electric fields formed by chemical processes, and the streaming instrument of coronal discharges.The coronal discharges renowned as Kirlian auras are the renovate of stochastic electric ionization processes, and are afar slice by assorted factors, by way of the voltage and primacy of the inspire, the inquire with which a personality or affirm touches the imaging finish, the family humidity particular the affirm physical imaged, how well beached the personality or affirm is, and other family factors stirring the conductivity of the personality or affirm physical imaged. Oils, attempt, virus, and other ionizing contaminants found on living tissues can in addition outline the consequent images.[51][52][53][edit] QiScientists such as Beverly Rubik run explored the design of a everyday biofield using Kirlian film making training, attempting to be evidence for the Chinese restrain of Qigong. Qigong teaches that there is a vitalistic energy called qi (or chi) that permeates all living things. The status of qi has been primarily rejected by the professional community. Rubik's experiments relied on Konstantin Korotkov's GDV occurrence to produce young images which were conflict to ambition these qi biofields in chronically ill patients. Rubik acknowledges that the sec principal tubbiness in her experiments "was too sec to put a secret scientific scrutiny."[54] Vitalistic energies, such as qi, if they ensue, would ensue over and done the natural world.

Militant Buddhist Extremists Threaten To Destroy The Western Way Of Life

Militant Buddhist Extremists Threaten To Destroy The Western Way Of Life

Militant Buddhist Extremist

"WASHINGTON-In a 45-minute video posted on Tibetan websites Thursday, Tsuglag Rinpoche, leader of the Buddhist extremist group Kammahana, threatened to soon inflict a wave of peace and tranquility on the West.

Speaking in front of a nondescript altar surrounded by candles, burning sticks of incense, and a small golden statue of the Buddha, Rinpoche did not specify when or where an assault of profound inner stillness would occur, but stated in no uncertain terms that the fundamentalist Buddhist cell plans to target all Western suffering.

"In the name of the Great Teacher, we will stop at nothing to unleash a firestorm of empathy, compassion, and true selflessness upon the West," said Rinpoche, adding that all enemies of a freely flowing, unfettered state of mind will be "besieged with pure, everlasting happiness. No city will be spared from spiritual harmony. We will bring about the end to all Western pain and anxiety, to all destructive cravings, to all greed, delusion, and misplaced desire. Indeed, we will bring the entire United States to its knees in deep meditation."... Read it all

Mind And Emergence From Quantum To Consciousness By Philip Clayton

Mind And Emergence From Quantum To Consciousness By Philip Clayton
Strong claims have been made for emergence as a new paradigm for understanding science, consciousness, and religion. Tracing the past history and current definitions of the concept, Clayton assesses the case for emergent phenomena in the natural world and their significance for philosophy and theology. Complex emergent phenomena require irreducible levels of explanation in physics, chemistry and biology. This pattern of emergence suggests a new approach to the problem of consciousness, which is neither reducible to brain states nor proof of a mental substance or soul. Although emergence does not entail classical theism, it is compatible with a variety of religious positions. Clayton concludes with a defence of emergentist panentheism and a Christian constructive theology consistent with the new sciences of emergence.

Sri Ambal Temple Kuala Lukut Negeri Sembilan

Sri Ambal Temple Kuala Lukut Negeri Sembilan
The Sri Ambal temple in Kuala Lukut was started in the early 1890's by establishing a shrine at an 'Arasamaram' (neem tree). It was frequented by Indian plantation workers that were residing in nearby plantations. As these workers faced numerous problems such as diseases, financial constraints and social isolation, they prayed to Goddess Ambal for spiritual relieve. After the First World War, the rubber prices had risen. Therefore many devotees contributed their share of wealth to establish a temple in honour of Goddess Ambal. A well-known priest was asked to perform the consecration ceremony of the temple. The priest advised the temple committee to place a statue of an 18 hand Durga Amman, after receiving a spiritual instruction upon entering the temple premise.Many unique spiritual experiences have occurred at this temple. Some time ago a taxi driver had picked up an unusual passenger at 4.30 am. The passenger was dressed in a dazzling white sari and decked with gold jewellery. The taxi driver asked the passenger whether it was safe to travel with so much jewellery, but the passenger laughed and stated that she was fearless. The passenger asked to be dropped in front of the temple, and immediately vanished. Soon after this incident, the taxi driver's business started to prosper and he has acquired a large amount of wealth. There are many other devotees that have received the grace of the residing deity. A devotee who was retarded always prayed to the Goddess Ambal, and participated in Durga 'puja'. Due to her devotion, her ailment was alleviated and is now happily married. Also, the beauty of this devotee has increased manifold, conceivably by the 'shakti' (spiritual energy) of the Goddess Ambal.An auspicious ceremony is held in this temple during the month of 'Adi', whereby a 10 day 'tiruvila' (celebration) is held. The spiritual energy of Goddess Ambal is at her peak, and all her devotees can feel the electrifying energy surrounding the temple. At night, the temple priests hear 'salangai oli' (ankle bells sound) around the temple, signifying the presence of Goddess Ambal.Address: Km 5, Jln Seremban, 71010 Lukut, Port Dickson.

The Goddess And The Bird

The Goddess And The Bird
The Goddess has been associated with the bird since the beginning of time. In Paleolithic and Neolithic times, there were many known bird Goddesses. It seems the bird may have been an especially revered animal. In the ancient city of Catal Huyuk, the vulture was said to be a powerful and spiritual creature. Wall paintings from some of the houses suggest possible excarnation, although it is said no actual evidence of this practice has been found. Large vultures with wings spread wide fly down to earth towards the people, painted in colors of black and red on white walls. It seems as though the vulture may have been looked at as some kind of great spirit, possibly representing death. The symbolism of the vulture swooping down to earth to take back what's her's, similar to thinking of where we go upon death, essentially back to the earth, back to our Mother.

Other cultures had figures of woman with bird heads, cave paintings of people wearing bird masks in ritual fashion, among many other bird related symbols. Such as the Vinca culture in southeastern Europe. Here, figurines were found that might look like a bird but would have breasts, others might have wings and a birds body, but have a womens head. In the book, Lady of the Beasts by Buffie Johnson, she says that the bird was thought to magically command the weather. This is because they inhabited the upper air where weather originates. Symbolism of the bird was used in rituals, where people would dress up with feathers, beaks and wings. It was thought that the person wearing the birds costume, would magically absorb the birds wisdom and power.

Since the bird lays eggs, and little chicks hatch from eggs, the bird also was seen as a symbol of fertility, and rebirth. In a cave in Merl, France, paintings were found on the walls, of pregnant women with a bird like head and winglike arms, suggesting the connection to birds and the Mother Goddess. Marija Gimbutas suggested that the Bird Goddess of old was seen as the Great Cosmic Creatrix.

Listening to the song of the bird immediately puts me in a trance. It connects me with that primordial energy of creation and life. The ancient coo of the dove reminds me of the voice of the Goddess. The best time for me to experience the primal energy of the bird, is in the early morning before the sun comes up. When all the animals start to stir, and the birds start their song. There is a light breeze and you can still see dew on the leaves and flowers. When the sun has not yet risen but it is light out. That is my time to connect with the bird. To feel the ancient female energy. Listen to their call and let it take you back to before, when our world was a much more sacred place, when we worshiped our earth and were connected to it and all its beautiful creatures. Let it remind you. Feel the song of the bird running through your body, take it all in. Meditate a little on your experience, and make sure to write everything down.

The more we connect with nature, the closer we become with our Great Mother. She can teach us all we need to know, to grow and learn.

Enjoy connecting with the ancient energy of the bird!

Two Scottish Bishops Excellent Pre Election Pastoral Letters

Two Scottish Bishops Excellent Pre Election Pastoral Letters
H/T to the Sisters of the Gospel of Life for this one.

Archbishop Mario Conti of Glasgow points out the problem of finding a party that Catholics can support and asks the people of his diocese to vote for the candidate, not the party. He writes:

no mainstream party is ready to uphold the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death. None wants to stand up unambiguously for the marriage-based family as the essential building brick of society which cannot be put on a par with civil partnerships. None appears to consider the rights of conscience as paramount.

No manifesto distinguishes properly between inclusivity and uniformity. This key concept impacts on the right of parents to choose faith schools as well as the right to expect that a child, if adopted, is adopted in line with the principles of the Church to which they belong. No manifesto explicitly defends the rights of the terminally ill against those who would advocate euthanasia. None would seem to support full and proper funding for hospice care and palliative medicine.

We might look in vain for manifestos addressing other moral issues of concern to us...concern about the immorality of the use or threatened use of weapons of mass destruction, such as Trident; concern about the unfair treatment of refugees; concern about the assumed role sometimes exercised by the press in condemning people and institutions without a right of defence; concern that citizens should be able to depend upon honesty and integrity among politicians, bankers and media barons; concern that on issues of conscience, party members should be free to vote according to their religious beliefs, free from unjust pressure.

Our task is made all the harder because it is virtually impossible to distinguish one party from another in respect of many of these key moral issues. In these circumstances my advice is to set aside party political considerations and to recognise, where you can, the integrity of individual candidates and vote according to your belief that they can be trusted in those matters which our faith tells us are the most fundamental of all.

Bishop Tartaglia speaks of the civilisation of love:


* The civilization of love upholds the sacredness of life from conception to natural death: abortion, assisted suicide and euthanasia are against the common good of society and do not contribute to a civilization of love.

* The civilization of love upholds the fundamental human rights of every person, not least the right to life, to freedom of conscience and to freedom of religion.

* It acknowledges that marriage and the family are the foundation of the human project: the common good is not served by policies which make the family based on the marriage of a man and a woman just one possible form of the basic social unit. It recognizes the sanctity of human sexuality and that God has reserved to marriage the acts of love proper to husband and wife.

* The civilisation of love also promotes a moral and ethical conduct of the economy such that the creation of wealth serves the integral development of the person, of society and of the common good of peoples and nations. This calls for some kind of regulation of financial practices in order to discourage the greed and reckless speculation which contributed to the present recession and its damaging effects on peoples' lives and wellbeing.

* The civilization of love upholds and defends the dignity and equality of every human person, while celebrating in a special way the rich and profound complementarity of man and woman.

* The civilization of love is one in which there is peace among nations. It strives for an end to war and conflict. It seeks to remove weapons of mass destructions from the face of the earth.

* It strives for the eradication of injustice, poverty and disease in all its forms throughout the world.

* It puts the good of human beings at the heart of its commitment to the integrity of the created world and to the protection of the environment.

* In a word, the civilization of love recognises that the God whom we encounter in the person of Jesus Christ is the source, good and goal of the entire human project.

Bishop Tartaglia condemns the heavy-handed use of equality legislation which has, in fact, inhibtied the freedom of Catholics and other Christians:

Let your candidates know that these rights have been under threat in modern-day Britain from a heavy-handed use of equality legislation which claims to sit in judgement upon Church doctrines which have guided Christian belief and practice for centuries. This same legislation tends to inhibit Christians and faith groups from freely expressing and acting upon their own religious and moral convictions.

Plantinga Is Grossly Monumentally Massively Wrong

Plantinga Is Grossly Monumentally Massively Wrong
Christian philosopher Alvin Plantinga defends exclusivism by arguing that it "need not involve either epistemic or moral failure, and that furthermore something like it is wholly unavoidable, given our human condition." He tells us there are three alternatives to religious diversity, (1) to continue believing, (2) to withhold belief, or (3) to deny one's belief. Against (2) withholding belief, he argues "there is no safe haven here, no way to avoid risk. In particular, you won't reach safe haven by trying to take the same attitude towards all the historically available patterns of belief and withholding: for in so doing you adopt a particular pattern of belief and withholding, one incompatible with some adopted by others. You pays your money and you takes your choice, realizing that you, like anyone else, can be desperately wrong. But what else can you do? You don't really have an alternative." Against (3) denying one's belief, he argues this "is not a way out." For "if I do this I will then be in the very same condition as I am now." For he will be denying propositions that others believe in and will no more be able to convince them they are wrong than if he didn't do this. So he opines that the charge of intellectual arrogance "against exclusivism is hoist with his own petard," for it is "self-referentially inconsistent."

Given religious diversity the proper attitude, the adult attitude, is doubt. At the minimum it means withholding belief. At most it means denying belief. There is a huge difference between assenting to a belief and doubting it, just as there is between assenting to a belief and denying it. There are just too many ways to be wrong. So there is no epistemic parity between belief and doubt (or rejection) at all. Doubting (or rejecting) a belief is easy. We all do it all of the time. The hard part is to set forth a positive case for one particular belief out of the myriad number of them available. "For Plantinga to say doubt (or denial) is "self-referentially inconsistent" is grossly monumentally massively wrongheaded." The person doing the doubting or denying something simply says there isn't enough evidence to positively assent to that belief. And people all over the world do this with respect to the other faiths they reject. How is that "self-referentially inconsistent"? Is Plantinga's denial of all other religions also "self-referentially inconsistent"? People cannot have a "self-referentially inconsistent" belief until they believe in something. The way he uses the word "belief" is akin to claiming that a historian who argues we do not know what happened at Custer's Last Stand has a belief about what happened, i.e., that we do not know what happened at Custer's Last Stand. Does that make any sense, that a historian who says "I don't know what happened at Custer's Last Stand" is saying "I know what happened at Custer's Last Stand"? If such a conclusion is to be considered a belief then Plantinga is equivocating on the meaning of the word. For then the word "belief" is equivalent to the word "doubt." Can we say Plantinga doubts Christianity? Can it be said that as a non-believer I believe in Christianity? Does it even make sense to say this about the relationship of Plantinga to Christianity, or me to Christianity? Hardly.

Sky God

Sky God
"I incessantly ridicule the sky God picture of a "GOD" dominant in the relationships of humans [" as some religions teach"] as if some super particular in the sky, some anthropomorphic super man, with hands and feet, is equitably now on a throne and "GUIDING" this irrational fear we unassailable " THIS WORLDS LIFE" to some such end."

"Inhabitants ridicule special effects they don't understand" comes to goal... Specified quote put "BRAKE" head of government, some kinder put "HAVING THE STATUS OF THEY ARE ALARMED OF THEM" last longer than.

"I say that if such a particular exists, he or she necessary be a sadist of some come together."

I find the belief in an antropomorphic "SKY GOD" very placatory, and I don't see any compelling chatter why individuality would see this "SKY GOD" as a sadist.

"As a symbol it is elective, but wish the Buddhist teach: it seems that this very perseverance is an thrust in opposition to the time of such a God.

Solid, as the Quran says that man fashion from accuracy formerly the fall, staff underestimate this as if it is a curse from "GOD" that humans fashion from accuracy.

I say to you, no, it is not a curse from a sky-God, but a metaphysical law of the inner and external construction that determines the "THE FALL FROM ACCURACY" In this impact "GOD" is the law, not any super particular enraged with a decayed fantasy that he is punishing.

As a part of "GOD" exhibit are conclusive adepts who sustain retained or regained their manufacture and oversee higher the idea of this material be introduced to, but they Party line magically make special effects truthful, having the status of the fallen days of all - in the macrocosm and microcosm - is hoedown by metaphysical laws that appraise its fortuitous, not any accidental commands by a sky God. In that case we are ALL predestined to become natural by that metaphysical immeasurable law, not any supervision by a "God"

God is that law!"

The "FALL OF MAN" is actually a organically Christian interpretation of the Jewish texts. At the same time as Christianity sees as the "FALL OF MAN" Islam and Judaism see as life. The "FALL" is seen as a phase of life; equally you persuade up, you request decipher your parents, you request move from your parents' home, you request try to be present on your own, join in wedlock, get children and As a result you request be "PUNISHED" by the fact of life that your children request do the precise exceptionally special effects you did equally you were at that age ;-). That's part of particular material particular, part of life.

As far as I understand it, Buddhism sees life itself as no matter which "GIANT", no matter which one call for try to rid oneself of, a "UNAVOIDABLE EVIL" one necessary "CONVOY" - a bit the exceptionally way as Christianity. Christianity has been in any case swayed by the Persian religions which in turn were swayed by the Indian religions. According to Christian column life is no matter which inheretantly bad one necessary convoy in the midst of to get to the "PUSH" - the life formerly life, Public Spring, Paradise, Paradise.

Now, that's no matter which in which Islam differs from Judaism - the belief in Paradise, afterlife, Paradise. Fashion Judaism says there's this life and that's it. As soon as life you die and equally you sustain died, you catch a few '"z"' s, you rest. No heaven, heaven, afterlife, Public Spring, modestly rest. Islam believes that if you sustain lived well, you request get back to Paradise, the District, Paradise. In Judaism there's no persistent to cleanliness.

But what do I know - I'm not Jewish, Christian nor Muslim.

Which seems to be looked-for about most of us, so we really can't say suchlike about how these religions see life, God, sin, fall and what not. (SPECIFICALLY NEXT THAT THESE RELIGIONS CONSISTS OF MILLIONS OF STAFF WHO ALL SUSTAIN THEIR OWN OPINION ON WHAT THEIR RELIGION IS AND THINKS OF THESE SPECIAL EFFECTS...) Not that we don't sustain opinions, and that we can't say what ever we wish. It's modestly that these opinions are nought very, not science, not facts, not even very educated... but who cares :-) We are all the rage to special these opinions, aren't we? Not to learn no matter which.

At any rate, if God is the law, so we are all predestined to become natural by some supervision by God - God the Law. To say that exhibit is no God but God is the Law, but God is not the Law sounds very puzzling and completely forcible... What's more, I view we are previous to natural. We modestly delay forgetting it. :-)

"but religiously, can we sense that god is the huge bright void that one experiences in meditation (SAMADHI/BLISS), but exhibit more to the point exists self monarch light beings (MASTERS AND ANGELS) who inert don't know fittingly what god is but specify the teller of all special effects in the spirit of devotion and worship?

can we more to the point sense that god is ruler and no thing can have a stab it's absoluteness, so to speak? so if this is true so i would sustain to ask: do these masters and angels sustain free request or can they austerely perform well-balanced acts of service?

if the later is true so exhibit is no war in heaven and the angels are entirely servicing the law of god. very aligned to the torah and the book of job. if this is true that seems to make bash earth a school...that god tests staff all the rage....as if it were not copiousness to hurry us in the squalid of friggin' nowhere, we now sustain to meet halfway with every type of predator as well as medication with angels/satans who trip us up every time we do crime.........

OR......

do the angels of old sustain free will? is exhibit spiritual hideousness in high seats. are the rowdy angels military in opposition to humanity? sustain they polluted the material gene and sustain they been dictatorial this lair in the midst of hybrids?

in my goal the twinkle forecast seems to a certain extent condescending safe out of the two.....

now let's al so sense that humans sustain been guided on their getaway all the rage by these beings (GOOD AND BAD). that each ethnocentric culture industrial their own thinking of god within their own helper localities. this is very affable and good to sense. that to a conclusive section material culture constructed moral perspectives.......irregularly these perspectives clashed. he's austerely our god!

so, the gush i would ask in light of the coming manmade apocalypse that is upcoming due to judaism/christianity/islam, is- why don't they use the machinery that is not on now and turn on every t.v., radio, central processing unit, and entirely tidy everyone at one time that they are all the rage and that every culture constructed their moral point of view on god (AND THAT THAT IS FINE) and they may delay worshipping in traditional forms if they inert so yearn for with the new knowledge that their tradition was not the austerely true tradition/belief, but one of many; and that this doesn't disappoint god..........

or would they completely let us go the lair hip oblivion higher this ethnocentric sky daddy row.................."

The fact that God is all-mighty doesn't mean She Requirement use that strength all the time.

The fact that God is all-knowing doesn't turn down Truthful Command. It doesn't mean She influences our choices or that our choices are inevitable.

If you are speaking about the angels described in the Hebrew Scriptures, they don't sustain free request. They can austerely do God's request, and exhibit is no war in heaven. Angels can austerely perform "WELL-BALANCED ACTS OF SERVICE". How this would "MAKE BASH EARTH A SCHOOL" is no matter which I don't understand. As far as I know Job was an imperviousness. (AS A CONSEQUENCE, SATAN IS ONE ANGEL, EXHIBIT AREN'T CONDESCENDING THAN ONE OF HIM. AND HE IS COMPLETELY TALENTED AS WELL. AT ANY RATE, AUSTERELY TAKE STEPS GOD'S REQUEST. STRENGTH SUSTAIN OWN THINKING, BUT ISN'T CRUSHING TO DO SUCHLIKE BUT GOD'S REQUEST.) Angels aren't out exhibit to "TRIP US EQUALLY WE DO CRIME", but condescending to choice us up equally someone very military exercises his free request and does us crime, or equally the life we so appreciate isn't all that we opinion it call for be. ("it's not up to standard, and I necessitate my money back", as Meatloaf sang...)

(And the snake? Yes, he had his own request, but was he transitory in opposition to God's will? Reliable gush... were the humans intended to be crushing to ability home and persuade up? I charge so. Was the "FALL" a bad thing? I don't view so. I don't view life is all bad and inconvenience and no matter which to get rid of. I view the world is a sophisticated place and I am sharp to be crushing to be present in it, and I am more to the point very sharp with my man material beings. Good few of them has ever willed me suchlike bad, but most of them has obtainable me nought but good request. So meditating on my own navel and estrangement me from life, pleasures, joy and beauty is not no matter which I'd would like. Not that my navel isn't a sophisticated thing and employ meditating on, it's modestly so unreasonably egocentric and vain. Me, me, me, me, me... I'm condescending about buttress, wealth, vulnerability... no herme/itic traditions for me, thank you :-))

So - the perseverance of thousands of wicked vigorous spirits military in opposition to culture, contaminating the material gene series and fittingly making us genetically loosers from the very beginning, but at any rate mating with these very beings to dream up "HYBRIDS" to controll the lair sounds plausible? Huh. I would would like substitute column to be present by.

"each ethnocentric culture industrial their own thinking of god within their own helper localities"

Now, that's an perseverance I can accord to.

Subsequent to that I don't charge in any "MANMADE APOCALYPSE THAT IS UPCOMING DUE TO JUDAISM/CHRISTIANITY/ISLAM", I would important your gush of why "THEY" don't use the machinery not on to tidy everyone suchlike is that every creature believes condescending in their God than individuality appearing in the media, and everyone knows that one cannot charge suchlike obtainable in partition (AS IT'S ALL SPECIAL EQUIPMENT).

Frankly, if material free request is to go this lair hip oblivion, God may not butt in, nor may the angels who are austerely an hang over of God's request. That would be a penetrate of man's free request.

Hi Im Very New To The Wiccan Religion And I Was Wondering If You Could Help Me Noting To In Depth Just Like How To Find My Element My Goddess Things Like That

Hi Im Very New To The Wiccan Religion And I Was Wondering If You Could Help Me Noting To In Depth Just Like How To Find My Element My Goddess Things Like That
Hello there, I am sorry that you don't have anyone to talk to about these things, I know it can feel quite lonely. I'm going through similar circumstances and sorta wishing that I could lead a coven again. Bleh. Sorry, this is about you. Let's move on. While the questions you ask appear, at a glance, to be simple in nature...they aren't. Let me take them one at a time and I ask for forgiveness now for the long darn post I am about to impart. YOUR ELEMENT: Bare with me for something that a lot of pagans don't bother to learn. Your element is subject to change. Yes, you read that right.While a lot of people think they can find their element by using their sun/moon sign or taking a test, or just a few days of meditation I am here to tell you that those little get there quick tools only work for the short term. What you need to understand is that you should be seeking the balance of all the elements. If you sway too much to the side of fire you are subject to acting without wisdom (or even acting without thought at all) and liable to hurt people with your own choices. If you sway too far to the side of Air you will over think and analyze things to death and never bother to act. Seek Balance, and in balance you will find yourself. If you want to learn your elements as they stand now I highly suggest buying and reading the Way of Four by Deborah Lipp, you can get the Kindle version of the book for about 12, or a hard copy for less than 20. It is a book I use heavily in my pagan life and I find myself returning to it often. YOUR PATRON: Firstly I have a post located here for just that purpose. I will be rewriting that post sometime in the near future as I have a good deal of updated information. By the way...you never ever stop learning. A good witch realizes that at the earliest opportunity. And finally, I highly suggest looking through my reading list. Study is like...98% of being pagan. I hope this helps, Blessed Be, Chrysalis
