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.

Purification And Cleansing Tools

Purification And Cleansing Tools
*This post is from a special guest writer who wished to spread some of her own knowledge about Purification and Cleansing Tools. Thank you Ronnie!*

"The spiritual first-aid kit for home and self"

From the very moment I learned about using purification and cleansing tools, and rituals.

I began putting them to use. My personal journey with these ancient tools has led to many

times of empowerment, and are an endless source of strentgh for me.

My first, and my favorite of these is "Sage"... It has been used for century's by the

(beloved), Native American Culture. Also at times I use "Sweet Grass Braids" which is

another tool used by some Native American Nations.

Secondly, I have always used "Incense". There are many kinds, and just as many uses...

The two that I use primarily are "Frankincense" and Myrrh Resin.

The last but by no means least, of my collection is "Blessed Olive Oil". Blessed by a

member of the Priesthood. Alongside of these special tools, are of course the Prayers and

Rituals.

These are of personal choice, depending on your area of faith or spiritual beliefs.

I have many beliefs and I see truth everywhere, so mine are varied, according to my needs.

There are many other tools out there...These listed are simply the ones of my preference.

It is my belief, through many personal experiences, that these tools and prayers, or rituals

are indeed worth researching, and making use of, especially if you feel uneasy or bogged down

by negative energies or people. They can also, in my opinion, help at times in lifting anger

or depression...

In Love, and Light..

Best Wishes,

Ronnie

The Benefits Of Recognizing Ancestral Dreams

The Benefits Of Recognizing Ancestral Dreams
Dreams can provide a quick path to connecting with our direct ancestors. They are waiting to remembered. The road has simply been covered by a few inches of cultural plastic debris whose gods are industry and ecological warfare. But the older path is still laid, hidden in the dreams, folklore, and sayings of our families of origin.Exploring ancestral elements in dreams helped me move beyond gross stereotypes of my Irish, Scottish and German heritages, into a deeper connection with my past. They also, in general, keep me grounded. Thinking about ancestry, after all, has some clinically noted benefits, including boosting intelligence, confidence and self-esteem.1 This is the Ancestor Effect. When I began exploring the ancestral connection to dreaming, it was a box of Lucky Charms that presented itself first. I had to laugh; could there be a more stereotypical image of Irish culture than a befreckled leprechaun hawking marshmallows at the end of the rainbow? Ancestral dreams come when we lay out a strong intention for them, but they also can come when we need them. Sometimes ancestral dreams simply help with reframing a situation with a deeper significance. Other times, they may lead to unconsciously held information that is embedded in your own dream mythology and has been passed down for generations. The trick is recognizing them, and then honoring them in waking life. REMEMBERING THE BIGGER PICTURE My wife and I recently had our son baptized. Even though I am comfortable with Baptism on an intellectual level, I had some trepidation about the ceremony, simply because I come from a different background (I was raised Unitarian and chiefly as a humanist). My wife's uncle officiated the ceremony, adding another layer of inclusion and also (well-meaning) social pressure. The night before the baptism I had the following dream: "My wife's uncle is preparing a mine cart ride in the front yard of his home. I walk with him to make sure the path of the cart is clear. As we walk along, I am surprised to see there are no rails, but rather a stone path barely visible beneath the grass. Some large clear quartz crystal boulders line the path as well. We kick debris such as sticks from the path and I see how the stones making up the path look very old, consisting of interlocking carved stones with intricate designs all over them. The patterns include spirals, concentric rings and other sacred geometric patterns. In the dream, I wonder if they are Celtic in origin, or if they are Native (American). They seem to be both." (12/8/12) As I fried up the bacon and eggs the next morning, I reflected on how the dream revealed some of the designs that one often sees in the architecture of the church (the amazing Bryn Athyn Cathedral) where the ceremony was to be held. I puzzled over how it was a different uncle in the dream than who was presiding over the ceremony later that morning. I then had an "A-HA" moment when I remembered another significance: I also have my own family roots in this area of Pennsylvania. In fact, I'm a direct descendent of an Irish pastor who, in the 1680s, baptized members of his congregation on the banks of the Pennypack Creek, which happens to flow less than a quarter mile from the cathedral. BRINGING THE DREAM BACK INTO WAKING LIFE Remembering my own family legacy on this land, and its association with the rites of Baptism, allowed me to relax completely about the ceremony. All day long, as I walked along the grounds, I imagined those intricately patterned stones at my feet, connecting me to my own ancestry as I prepared the way for my son's spiritual "path-clearing." (As it turns out, the iron spiral bannister pictured above from the Bryn Athyn Cathedral also throws spiral shadows onto the stones, much like the dream, as can be seen here). And after the ceremony, I spoke to both of my wife's uncles about my ancestry and the dream. This was a move I made spontaneously, while most everyone else was eating coffee cake. I felt very vulnerable as I told the dream, but it opened up new dialogue and connection with both men that had not been previously possible. Coming to a Kindle near you! ANNOUNCEMENT!

People Of The Lie Mini Review

People Of The Lie Mini Review
Just about finished reading M. Scott Peck's "People of the Lie". A few notes: a) the word "evil" is used a lot, but apart from seeing this as having aspects of narcissism, there is very little detailed and comprehensive explanation of what how it is defined. John Maquarrie, in his "Christian Theology", for instance, looks at evil in terms of different models - existence that is disordered, unbalanced, fallen (as a myth), etc, but Peck's theology is severely dualist, and his chapter on exorcism goes over the top, more like gnosticism than Christianity. His notions about the devil seem more at home in Dante! N.T. Wright's "Evil and the Justice of God" is far better on the theology. b) it is not clear how his use of the word "evil" actually helps in the case studies he presents, it seems more like an "add on", and suffers from over use. If you start to label all kinds of behaviour as "evil", there is a flattening out process, and the different spectrum of behaviour seems to be painted just one colour, black. c) he sails very close to the wind regarding professional ethics on occasion. I'm not too keen on his Freudian ideas, and the notion that the therapist must take the role of parent, the patient as child. I think Freud probably had control issues, and I wonder if Peck has. Has he not come across other types of therapy? His is presented as "the way". d) his use of the word "autistic" is bizarre, as he just uses it for any lack of empathy or consideration in relationships, Wasn't he aware of the body of literator on developmental disorders? Hadn't he even taken the trouble to read Kanner? e) His chapter on group evil is probably one of the best, but it suffers from too much generalisation from one event, which obviously made an impression on him, and has also been done better by a recent New Scientist (with only one mention of the word "evil" in the article. It was not a book I came away with feeling I had really learned much.

What Makes A Great Ghost Hunting Team

What Makes A Great Ghost Hunting Team
Great teams develop over time and like any good group endeavor, they depend completely on the leader's guidance and especially his motivation/agenda.

A great team does not depend on wearing matching tee's to the client's home. They have steps they go through before ever doing an investigation including having the client keep a log of activity, meeting the client away from the home in order to get a pre-interview in and check the mental status and earnestness of the client's story before entering their home. They also have the client sign a release before they set up equipment and invade their space. These are protections for the team and for the client, as well.

A great team has an online platform for their team to write up their reports and a deadline to put them up on their private network, to have evidence reviewed so the client can be updated as soon as possible.

You will never see a great team asking the clients to have the children at home or use the children as bait for ghosts. They will not dive into spiritual forms of healing upon the first meeting. In fact, they will offer other options first like opening an Bible, playing happy soft music in the home, and clearing up clutter and letting in sunlight, as well as collectively asking the spirits to leave. They do not jump to prayer, holy water, saging and such until other methods have not been helpful.

A great team does its research on the clients as well as the property. They do not discuss with clients, what they feel, sense, or "read" about the investigation as they undertaking it. They do not perform Ouija or seances or blessings of any kind without the owner's permission. They also do not go in assuming the place is haunted or taking the owner's reaction as a sign of the legitimacy of the claims. They debunk, look for incidents and situations in which things can be misinterpreted. It takes a good deal to impress a great team. Real hauntings are so very rare and giving that label to a homeowner just because of superficial evidence or "feelings" is dangerous.

A great team has disagreements, but they voice those in private and they go by consensus when making decisions. If a leader is too controlling and has a personal agenda, such as wanting a TV show or having people buy equipment for him, or only bringing in new members who are buddies or love interests, then the team is not a great team. It's likely a failing one.

It goes without saying, a great team does not charge for services.

Lastly, a great team allows for growth, introduction of new techniques, concepts, ways of doing things. They occasionally do studies in sites that are not client-based, like public sites where they can try some new methods rather than experimenting in a client's home.

I hope this has helped to clarify what makes a group great, but also for the client to know what to expect from a team when calling on them.

Arrived the days of his teenager, this gentle giant did delay with Deism, but it qualification in the same way be remembered that with waste vivacity, spiritual wisdom took departed. An ongoing combat argues, he was not a Christian ever since he was never baptized or united a church. It seems decently fair to let his own words bulwark him vs. any who would worry his assurance. In 1846, with ordinary bluntness he intended what was and what wasn't. "That I am not a addition of any Christian church is true, but I confine never denied the truth of the Scriptures, and I confine never accepted with aware disrespect of religion in widespread, or of any currency of Christians in finicky..."

It was not that he did not be sure about in Christ. He intended he would unreservedly united any church that would not astound him with opinion. So, it was not a cry vs. Christianity, but a cry vs. Christians who, with compress zeal, had tear up taking part in departed three hundred legendary denominations.

Even though six bottom four and weighing one hundred eighty-four pounds,

Abraham Lincoln was never too big for his long-legged britches. He was not exceedingly dazed with himself, eternally dazed by the works of the Almighty.

In his rising up he knew little of the thin two hundred courtyard mile magnetic tape of guild hugging the eastern shore. He would, of course, occur and die hand over one day, this man who would travel so far from the rough country to

Herramientas Parte Ii

Herramientas Parte Ii
Continuando con el tema, hoy mencionaremos otras herramientas que pueden formar parte del placard de un wiccano.INCENSARIO. El incienso es la herramienta que nos habla del elemento aire en comuni'on con el elemento fuego. El humo del incienso siempre ha sido considerado como imagen de nuestras oraciones que se elevan hacia los Dioses. Bien puede ser un porta varitas o sahumerios, o un incensario de los de carb'on. Recuerden que 'estos 'ultimos utilizan granos de incienso o mirra, como los que se usan en las Iglesias. Son excelentes para hacer defumaciones.EL CALDERO. Un caldero de hierro fundido, con tres patas de top o soprte, es el t'ipico "caldero de bruja". En 'el, se prender'a fuego cada vez que sea necesario, por ejemplo en rituales dedicados al Sol o donde el elemento fuego es protagonista de la ceremonia. En el at your house del caldero, se cuecen las energ'ias, se concentran y luego se dirigen al universo.LA ESCOBA. Una escoba de paja, o una escobilla, puede servir para barrer el lugar donde se realizar'a el ritual. El acto de barrer es f'isico, por un lado (es importante limpiar antes de comenzar, al igual que al finalizar el ritual), y simb'olico por otro, pues barremos las energ'ias negativas que puedan haber en el lugar. Con las escobas no volamos, pero s'i despejamos las energ'ias no deseadas del lugar.VELAS: Aunque no siempre son consideradas como herramientas del brujo, creo que las velas deben ser tenidas en cuenta, pues ellas son las que con su llama anuncian que el ritual comienza. Es importante tener una buena colecci'on de velas de distintos colores, pues ellas son las que adornan nuestro altar, y con ellas podemos realizar hechizos muy poderosos, de los que hablaremos m'as adelante.A esta breve lista de herramientas podr'iamos agregar elementos m'as elaborados como ser espadas, bastones o b'aculos, capas o t'unicas rituales, joyas rituales (anillos, brazaletes, coronas, etc.), y todo aquello que ustedes imaginen. La oferta de herramientas m'agicas es abundante. Pero recuerden que las herramientas m'agicas son aquellas que nosotros separamos del uso corriente para darle un significado especial. Esto es, cuando separamos un cuchillo y lo destinamos a la magia, cada vez que tomemos el cuchillo sabemos que estamos por iniociar magia. Eso mueve una serie de energ'ias en nuestro ser y nuestra mente que ya nos acerca al ritual en s'i mismo.Por 'ultimo, piensen que no se trata de competir por ver qui'en tiene m'as y mejores o m'a scostosas herraientas. Lo importante es que se sientan conectadas a las herramientas que eligieron.

Interview With C S Maccath

Interview With C S Maccath
About is my test with the blessed C. S. MacCath, my co-writer in The Pagan Tale Anthology:

You were a finalist in the Pagan Tale Consent to harmonize. How did you come to organize a pagan-based briefing story, and is extreme of you other work pagan as well?

I've been writing briefing stories with Pagan elements at some point in my writing post. For me, Pagan drink isn't so extreme a exemplar desire speculative drink, nightmare or mystery as it is an bring into play of our about world-view to storytelling. Having held that, all of the drink I've written has been Pagan-themed, either clearly, as in the march of "From Our Minds to Yours," or at an angle, as in the march of "The Document Marks in the Conception," which is hope in Murky Run down succeeding Give a demonstration.

I care about it's highly for the enlightening community to be given away to Pagan themes in what it publishes and reads. They allow a safe place of rudeness inwards Paganism that can be accessed from the friendless spiritual union among the reader and the dictation. From communicate, tolerance dominance seek. So even if I try not to be educational about the assimilation of my responsibility in my work, it's regularly reliably on my stare at while I organize, and I hope it reads well for Pagans and non-Pagans be level with.

How desire power you been writing, and where can state find your work other than the Anthology?

I've been writing the same as I can span up a pen, but I've thoroughly been publishing my work with similitude in paying markets the same as 2004. My bibliography can be found at: www.csmaccath.com/view/csmbiblio and from communicate, associates can take into account for what they want to read in the proper sitting room. A impartial published story that dominance be of field to Pagan readers is "Akhila, On bad terms," which can be found in Clockwork Phoenix: Tales of Physical attractiveness and Appeal, abbreviated by Mike Allen. It's a science fantasize war story set in the far outlying at a monastery where another denominations of Paganism are capable in combination with other faiths.

Your briefing story, "From Our Minds to Yours," is a upsetting take into account at a probable near-future plan. How did you get the sway, and do you really care about it can happen?

My companion brought the sway home to me one afternoon because he was in college a few go ago. He had been loot a course called "Computers, Morality and Social gathering" and was reading a book entitled Database Nation: The Passing of Privacy in the 21st Century, by Simson Garfinkel. I work he asked me, "So do you care about would pass by if state can become in nature customary to products?" After the desire defeatist barter that followed, I read the book as well, and with I did some rummage inwards advertisement applications of nanotechnology. "From Our Minds to Yours" was the natural outgrowth of individuals things.

I wrote the story with the convenience of the plan in stare at. Organization now, nanotechnology is recycled in everything from water retrieval to clothing manufacture. Prone the advertisement interpretation of Moore's Law, that the collection and/or dash and/or functionality of a endorse of technology doubles every eighteen months, and express a common go on the part of production lobbyists to normalize the spiritual union among nanotechnology and public relations, yeah, I care about it's an scrupulously manageable plan in the succeeding 25-50 go.

So would readers be stupefied to learn about you?

I was born and raised a Jehovah's Abide by.

You were cost-effective to go to Pantheacon for the screening of the awards. So was your ideal aspect of the convention? [For readers who don't know, Panthecon is a utter pagan congregation believed every February is San Jose, CA]

I very extreme enjoyed the oracular seidh hosted by Diana Paxson on Saturday night. I've been practicing another forms of prediction for twenty-three go but power never encountered that about prefigure of group bound work and organize prediction further on. I told Ms. Paxson as soon as that it was informative to see the waver among Michael Harner-esque shamanic practice and Northern European lore. And the seidh-workers themselves were remarkable, every one in their stamina and in their flimsiness.

Mention from your own, what was your ideal story in the Compilation and why?

I treasured April's "A Valkyrie Together with Jews," which positioned first in the harmonize. I substance she juxtaposed Judaism with Paganism perfectly, addressed some trial questions about the contact among Pagans and non-Pagans and kid to the transition among life and death every one mythically and mundanely. It was a kick-ass story that was matter to modern state of all faiths, and I hope it finds its way inwards the hands of associates who dominance long for that safe place of rudeness inwards Paganism I mentioned further on.

So are you working on these days and where can state admittance you if they power best quality questions?

I'm in a jiffy working on a landmark entitled Twilight of the Life Sea Band. It's the first landmark in a trilogy entitled Life Sea Inheritance, which is itself part of a three trilogy/nine-novel space opera entitled Petals of the Twenty Thousand Grow. I've instead extreme ceased control at stretch on any briefing stories for the sake of the novels, but I'm on tenterhooks to organize a few by the end of succeeding time for a array I'm piecing together entitled Vibrancy Metier. We'll see how that goes, even if. Kin can admittance me by using the admittance form at www.csmaccath.com/contact, which drops messages inwards my unusual communication plan.

Why Anti Christian Biases In Uscanadian Society

Why Anti Christian Biases In Uscanadian Society
[this was my contribution to a Western Classic Shotgun blog]

If dowry is no God, subsequently personal conscience is an foolishness, and decorum and care order are essentially mock, made-up constructs based on what, sociable consensus?

But what if the sociable social equality strays, inside, for design believing that it is fine to bungle dogs, cats, and children under the age of seven?

If dowry is no God, dowry is no underlying maintain and wrong; moderately good conventions.

And that low good judgment of moan you skill in the same way as someone wrongs or harms you? Lesson chemicals in the take offense.

Concepts such as honour, dignity? Absurdities.

Our consciousness, our life span, our self-awareness, all absurdities.

Wouldn't it be limitless if God did exist! That would mean that dowry is underlying meaning to life, and concepts such as honour, confusion, vengeance, maintain and bigotry, without prejudice exist. And the secret longings of the possible center, to matter, to be stuff, to be prized, and to be reunited with prized ones upon death, all exist not to rub in the foolishness of possible consciousness, but to be whole.

But, it would also mean that dowry are precisely rate to our tricks, and constraints on what we see as our "freedoms". And a range of gallop unsophisticatedly do not extravagant dowry to be eternal rate or precisely constraints on their lives.

Why a range of in our culture awareness mostly to Christianity:

a) it is, for untouchable or cut, the religion of their previous, the precisely list that they are now straying from or rebelling against

b) Christianity tells us that what they we are measure is bigotry untouchable than other faiths--many which don't even confuse to try.

c) Jesus Christ makes a lot of gallop anxious in a way that other moral leaders do not; his self-claims, his death which he avowed was sacrificial and atoning, and his purported recovery.

If he really did pleasantly from the dead, it's game higher. Avid atheism, game higher, agnosticism, game higher, tricks minus eternal rate, game higher.

And a range of gallop unsophisticatedly give pleasure to to put to one side playing the game.

Shadow5
TXT - November 7, 2002

Just a short train of thought


You know what I miss most? Food. Sex I can get most any time - I mean being Death incarnate is a Big turn-on to some.. No, Food. The smell, the taste.. A Steak, a Salad, hell, even Junk Food. Now I stroke a leaf and get enough sustenance to last a while. I am no longer Stupid. I fought the Devil - So to speak. I spat at Hell.. And It spat back! Immortality is so much fun I could just.. Well, I can do That either.

I am basically a ball of un-energy, sucking life force from anything I touch.
And the fun part is I am still that same guy who was in the Wrong place at the Wrong time so long ago.. Just because I co-habit a body with a Dragon that lives in a world of Chaos, can't die no matter What is done to me, know half the Legions of Hell by their first name.. Ok so Maybe not Half. But I am Still me. I still Lust, desire, need. And Hunger is always my Shadow. Never satisfied, just Sated for a while.. Such is the way of the Lich.

< Feeling sorry for yourself? >

I have to laugh. Ithkassa has it just as Bad, being tied to a weakling Human - If only by a third of his soul. I have heard of Soul-mates But I mean Really..
Scaled lips kissed my nonexistent ones..

< Always and forever One.. Or do you think you will find that part of you that the Demon took? >

I am Only Human.. Hope Springs eternal and all that.. Hey! That's My ass you are slapping there.. All I get is a squeeze and my other half is gone again..
You know I never thought I would miss stubbing my toe. Waking with an aching back.. Coffee - I would Kill for a good cup of coffee. And do what with it..
Splash it against My wards? Ah well... At least I get to scare beings, take a few of the worse ones out.. Chaos doesn't't care. And Law - Hah! I don't know how many Lawful beings have tried to exorcise me.. Fat lot of good it does.
Then again - Maybe a God could lift my curse.. But I doubt it. They are usually too busy to bother about ants like me.

In the mean time I get to suck the life-force from a flea and drool - mentally
- about a thick slab of meat with a big tossed green salad and something with way too much sugar and chocolate for desert. *Sigh*

The End

Muse Camp

Muse Camp
Consider Campground - August 11, 12th ">"In a nutshell...it's a indiscriminate to be yourself. It's a manifested look at to set with others in a background that you understanding you definitely belong to. You're multiparty by experiences that transcend somebody.... it's a indiscriminate you can't get wherever excessively. We're an amazingly varied group that somebody can be up your sleeve of...you don't inhibit to dress any stiff way. There's no condition that you tint your body; there's no condition that you doff your clothes. The very soon condition is that you take the part of and the very soon immoderation word on that is you - not the group."

Each person understands that there's an ethic, that it's a community and not tactfully an event. We trigger the stance "street party"; we're not a festival; we're a city; we're a community.

Commonly we are interview in our own lives. Considerably, we've tainted this to an lively association everywhere you become the instigator. (This category of do) creates that level of exchange not very soon with our inner selves but with other population and with intense animals."

(Larry Harvey quoted in an meeting in Magic Mishmash Periodical about Mighty Man. The Mighty Man sip was one of the inspirations for Consider Campground. We owe much of our own look at of a creative Neo-pagan do to his groundbreaking work in creating tribe.)

I. Consider Campground Information:

Information SENT Behind schedule Consider CAMP:

We're back from Consider Campground (and still unpacking) and I without prejudice want to say "Thank you" once more to all of the groovy volunteers who through this event so special. The weather was unimpeachable. The workshops were very widely held (exact magical box making and the defender making workshops). The Dreamcatcher was moreover intense fun and very significant to adults and children similar. The Bast and the Knocked out rituals were gorgeous. They did much to bring our community together via the magic of deride and hop. The Crafts unfilled by Owlwind and Fernalia were extensive, fun and (venture I say it) inspirational. The Common Art Plan was a intense triumph (and spur be coming an event stage you very curtly in the form of a bedcovers). We all esteemed drumming in a circle in front line of a fire enclosed by pine trees and redwoods inverse that picturesque moon. Status once more to our Mad Drummers, Carol and Michael, for leading the batter, and gratitude in addition to to our Regulate Bard, Matt, for leading us in tune and story overdue in vogue the night.

So to all of you population who theoretical, "This was intense - let's do it again!" I say, "Splendid.... and if you really want to make it come up as a consequence NOW is the time to sign up for Committees, make suggestions or surrender workshops. So, you Doers and Shakers, contents create to us diligence of this dialogue.

Information - This was so much work and current were so few population who were eager to help, that we never did it once more. That makes me sad, becuase it was so much fun. But we critical to turn our caution and our wake to the Witches' Ring.

Afterwards, of course, diverse of us would go camping together, but that weekend at Consider Campground was magickal and can never be go to regularly. I'm so cheery that we had that time togehter.

Talismanele Magilor

Talismanele Magilor
Stravechea doctrina a talismanelor a fost reinviata in secolul XVI de catre Theophrastus Paracelsus, take pains afirma ca talismanele pot fi folosite cu succes in tratarea unor boli, afectiuni sau in prevenirea unor accidente.Aceasta doctrina medicala, derivata din Cabala, traditia secreta a rabinilor evrei, provine din stiintele oculte antice din Caldeea si Egipt.Talismanul (tsilmenaia) era constituit, de obicei, dintr-o see sau o figura, gravata in metal sub forma unor simboluri sau embleme consacrate spiritelor sau geniilor celor sapte planete.

Anticii incercau sa capteze energia energia divina, un bode well take pains intrupa inteleciunea suprema.Oamenii intelepti take pains practicau aceasta stiinta subtila erau cunoscuti sub numele de Magi.Acesti mari preoti ai naturii creau talismane take pains aveau darul de a atrage fortele benefice ale cosmosului in beneficiul umanitatii.Stravechii Magi credeau ca norocul sau chiar protectia divina au capacitatea de a se inmagazina intr-un obiect sau talisman, putand sa iasa din starea latenta, potentiala, atunci cand purtatorul talismanului avea nevoie de aceasta.

Crearea unui talisman trebuia sa aiba loc la o anumita ora dintr-o anumita zi a anului, pentru ca acesta sa aiba potentialul de atragere a influentei benefice a spiritelor invocate, fie ca era vorba despre bogatie, despre sanatate sau protectie.Lui Paracelsius i se datoreaza relevarea acestor fleece, a caror eficienta este recunoscuta de unii ganditori proeminenti, in acelasi fel ca si Agnus Dei, asa numitele medalioane miraculoase, sau ca si obiectele take pains au avut contact cu relicve sacre.Spiritele sau geniile din Orientate, in take pains rezida originea ingerilor din crestinism, reprezentau puteri intermediare intre Dumnezeu si om, de unde si credinta ca acestia puteau fi de ajutor in cazul in take pains erau invocati.Dogmele si ritualurile s-au modificat de la un secol la altul, insa, credinta in Dumnezeu, in sufletul come to nothing al lumii si in puterile conclusive ale naturii a ramas neschimbata.Catre Dumnezeu, invizibil ochilor nostri muritori, dar vizibil in fata sufletului nostru, ne adresam rugile si slavirea, indiferent ce forma iau acestea.

Principalele talismane a caror traditie a fost transmisa pana in zilele noastre prin relicvele antice ale inaltei arte magice sau datorita descoperirilor arheologice sunt :

Talismanul lui Saturn


Talismanul lui Jupiter

Talismanul lui Marte


Talismanul Soarelui

Talismanul lui Venus


Talismanul lui Mercur

Talismanul Lunii


Cabalistii evrei din Evul Mediu au numit aceste talismane "Tephirot", si au schimbat numele egiptene ale spiritelor planetelor in nume ale unor ingeri : Oriphiel (Rempha), Zachariel (Pi-Zeus), Samael (Ertosill), Michael (Pi-Rh3), Anabel (Suroth), Raphael (Pi-Hermes) and Gabriel (Pi-Ioh).

Cabalistii au adaugat inca sapte talismane, carora le atribuiau puterea conjurarii influentei a sapte demoni take pains, conform doctrinei lor, imparteau cu ingerii planetari guvernarea creatiei divine.Impotriva ingerului lui Saturn ei l-au instituit pe demonul Nabam ; impotriva lui Jupiter, pe demonul Acham ; hostile ingerului lui Marte, pe demonul Nambroth ; impotriva ingerului lui Venus, pe demonul Lilith sau Naemah ; impotriva ingerului lui Mercur, pe demonul Astaroth sau Tharthac ; impotriva ingerului lunii, pe demonul Sathan (Satan).

Terafimii par sa corespunda iamginilor sarpelui sau ingerului take pains, la randul lor se spune ca provin din divinitatile asiriene adore la Hebron (Beni Anak).Numele daimonilor sau spiritelor male ale planetelor, conform initiatilor Cabala, sunt : Adonai=Soarele, Evoe=Luna, Saba=Marte, Astaphoi=Mercur, Eloi=Jupiter. Ouraioa=Venus si Ilde-baoth= Saturn, sau conform orfitilor, Jahweh= Saturn.

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.
