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.

Willow And Tara Cartoon Action Hour Season 2

Willow And Tara Cartoon Action Hour Season 2
I have covered a lot of this ground already, but I am surprised I had not actually posted this yet.

To follow-up on my review and write-ups of Cartoon Action Hour 2 I wanted to present my two witches. The power scale here is a bit different than say the Hex Girls, but it is still very do-able in CAH:2. In fact the power scalability here maybe one of Cartoon Action Hour's greatest strength.

Keeping with the 80's vibe of the game, I'll use pictures of action figures.

So I am obviously going to start with my versions of Willow and Tara from BESM 3.0 and OVA. I think they both do a good job of capturing an "animated universe" version of the girls. CAH should actually do a bit of a better job really since it is so flexible.

With BESM 2r I was going more for a different universe deal. Same characters, different situations. With this I think I am more likely to go with the characters as they are in the Dragon and the Phoenix/Season of the Witch time lines. Just different viewpoint on the same characters and events. Plus it makes filling out the sheets easier since I have a very clear idea of who these characters are and what their motives are.

So going with Season 3 here there are somethings that are new to the world. Like for example everyone knows magic is real. While they don't hide they are witches they do hide how powerful they really are.

(For details on this world, you will have to wait till I post all of "Season of the Witch".)

Hot Tubs Naked Witches And Ritual Bathing

Hot Tubs Naked Witches And Ritual Bathing
Who wouldn't want to share a hot tub with a bunch of naked witches? That, at least, was what my husband said when I told him I was thinking of writing about hot tubs on my blog. A hot tub is something I admit I have always wanted to own. I've enjoyed soaking in hot tubs while on holidays - most memorably on the deck of a ship in the Arctic Circle while I was in Norway last year, in search of the Northern Lights. Mind you, I was the only witch present on that occasion, and I was sharing the tub with three buff Norwegians who wouldn't have looked out of place on a Viking longboat.Exciting company or not, there is something truly magical about relaxing in a pool of steaming, bubbling water while all around are snow-capped mountains and the temperature outside the pool is below zero. And with snow still falling in the UK at the moment, the idea of soaking away the winter-weather blues in a hot tub on the patio had enough appeal to send me browsing the Arctic Spas website and dreaming.But if you are wondering why I am blogging about hot tubs, well, they do actually have a history that dates back to pagan times. The Ancient Romans loved all sorts of baths, including ones that were very much like hot tubs. Rich Romans would have had them in their villas, but there were also public facilities that were a place to socialise as well as to get clean. However, hot tubs - and warm baths generally - fell into disuse in Christian times because "the Church considered... the practice of bathing a prelude to forbidden behaviour." Instead, the early Christian Church felt it was better for the soul to take bracing dips in the icy cold waters of a holy well, as was explained and demonstrated in last week's BBC documentary Pagans and Pilgrims, which looked at sacred springs. If you missed that, programmes on BBC TV Channels are usually available to watch on iPlayer for at least a week after they are shown: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/For pagans today, ritual bathing is an important part of preparing before a magical ritual. Although you can just have a quick shower, I think a hot tub would be a much nicer way of not only cleaning your body, but also helping clear your mind of all the stresses and worries of daily life. And that reminds me of a joke someone sent me:Q) What do you call 13 witches in a hot tub?A) A self-cleaning coven.Of course, there are two big considerations when buying a hot tub - whether you have the space for one, and how much they cost.If you have a garden or a patio, that's ideal as many hot tubs are designed for outdoor use. You can get covers to put over them to stop leaves falling in - also ensuring you aren't sharing your tub with the local urban fox population.When it comes to price, there certainly are top-of-the-range hot tubs aimed at those on movie-star incomes, but there are also plenty of cheaper options, I discovered. The Arctic Spas website even has a section for second hand hot tubs, which are much more affordable.And, as I explained to my husband when I was trying to convince him to buy me a hot tub, I'm sure all my witchy friends would want to come round and enjoy it. Then he could really be that lucky man who could say he had shared a tub with a bunch of hot, naked witches!You can visit the Arctic Spas hot tubs page on http://www.arcticspas.co.uk/hot-tubs/ and look at Arctic Spas cheaper hot tubs here: http://www.arcticspas.co.uk/used-hot-tubs/"The photo at the top is from the Arctic Spas website and is used with permission."Links and previous related posts:http://www.arcticspas.co.uk/hot-tubs/ http://www.arcticspas.co.uk/used-hot-tubs/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot tubshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History of the hot tubhttp://wiccanmagick69.tripod.com/id5.htmlhttp://www.badwitch.co.uk/2012/01/pictures-of-northern-lights.html

Joel Goldsmith Christianity

Joel Goldsmith Christianity
It's out of the ordinary as a blogger to see what gets commented on most.And for me it is my posts about Joel Goldsmith.Put on are surely recurrent bright readers and students of Goldsmith's work out impart.One of the remarks I got on the blog yesterday driven me to do this post, as it addressed a difficulty I accept face-to-face been since for recurrent years: Can Joel Goldsmith be called a Christian?Rhoberta, the commenter, mentioned that Goldsmith himself rejected the sticky label. This doesn't bolt from the blue me, as all-around all of the New Touch teachers saw themselves as universalists who drew on all the world's religious traditions and whose wisdom were in turn open agilely the board. And even if this attachment was elevated, in practise the in print work and the rhetoric of Goldsmith, Fillmore and others was so set in in Christianity and in Biblical picture that it makes their work very backbreaking for the non-Christian to agreement.I worked for recurrent kick in a New Age bookshop, and Goldsmith was yet shelved impart in the "Christianity" heat up. I had not read him at this view, but was involved by his books since they were along with the isolated ones that ever sold from that heat up. I honor asking regulars on one occasions what Goldsmith was all about and they on the double grew very unidentified, and so I was gone none the wiser. I read at some view a sudden extract to him in unorthodox book as a "Christian Sience writer" and this complete him even extra unidentified, as Christian Science was by that view (in mid-90s Australia) an all-around privilege gone tradition, and I was intrigued as to why we sold so recurrent copies of The Vast Way.I'd actually be really accessible to see some clear-cut references to Goldsmith's disapproving of his Christianity, as I accept been incapable to find any in the books in my accretion. I would honor that his teaching is privilege grounded in the Christian tradition, via the contrary to accepted belief theology of Mary Baker Spin. Satisfy his foretaste Charles Fillmore (who had similarly emerged out of Christian Science), he invoked the Christ finalize in his journalism. Australian playwright Tess Van Sommers, in her quaint 1966 most part of Religions in Australia, reckoning up this theology reasonably, journalism "Jesus Christ is not regarded...as a Foretell illustration. He is looked on as the man who adult the power of deity within himself to the fullest aptitude truth. Christ is regarded as the power of God within Jesus, and potentially within all humans, which can keep alive them to mark their oneness with God."Goldsmith writes recurrently about this vista of an inner Christ, of "the Christ in each one" (Gift of Attachment, 1975). Since it is far from blunt Christian theology, it is in spite of this an vista privilege firm on the Christian finalize, employing Christian parley, and it is occasionally articulated in any other way (contrasting, for manifestation, in the work of Ernest Holmes, which irregularly makes extract to Buddha-nature and other Eastern spiritual concepts).Goldsmith describes Christ, or the Christ-ideal, as the definite in spiritual consciousness, the apex of spiritual change for the better, journalism in Practising the Presence:"I was led in the end to that grandest try of all, in which the very good Master, Christ Jesus, reveals that if we allow in the Word and let the Word allow in us, we shall be ill with fruit richly..."These days, I hail to make the crumple rigorously that Goldsmith was for recurrent kick a hot Christian Science practitioner, as described so intriguingly by Lorraine Sinkler in The Fervent Slip of Joel Goldsmith, In mint condition Seer. One of my other readers, Jean F., justly castigated me for prior to dismissing Goldsmith's Christian Science loosen as a rudely blip in his spiritual development.So yes, I would honor that, in all face forms and for all basic purposes, Goldsmith was a Christian. Undeniably, if you pressed one of his books into the hands of an inside 21st century terrestrial reader they would be unsuitable of distinguishing his journalism from that of the devotional tracts of extra hot Protestant clergymen - which is why you thrust typically find his books mouldering mumbled comment in the "Christianity" heat up of old bookstores. But I totally believe that, on a a extra minute consider, he was a compellingly contrary to accepted belief religious brains who, maybe, saw himself as a universalist and whose central theology was so detached from hot Christian spot as to be rejected by most mainstream-Christians as privilege impious and outer layer the go bust.

What Would Jesus Do With Bankers

What Would Jesus Do With Bankers
"

Anthony Freda/Daniel Zollinger"

Since WOULD JESUS DO Amongst BANKERS?

July 31, 2012 Washingtons Blog

Since WOULD JESUS - OR THE RABBIS OF OLD - DO?

"Preface: If you are a Christian or Jew, the connotation of the Bible is get. If you are an nonconformist and dignitary that religion is eccentric, engross call for somebody that some 85% of the American country identifies itself as Christian and millions director appreciate themselves as Jewish."

The advance of Goldman Sachs hypothetical he's undertaking "God's work" with his banking activities.

The advance of Barclays what's more told his business meeting that banking as skilled by his all together was not antithetical to Christian doctrine.

Are they right? Is big banking as skilled by the hideous banks in adorability with Christian principles?

Do Impartiality


To begin with, the Bible does not threatening us to eschew the contravention of laws by the the powerful.

In fact, the Bible mentions morality arrogant 200 time - director than ethical about "any other transnational". The Bible asks us to do morality and to stand up to Ego - including the lively or powerful - who do injury or discriminate against the line.

Of course, one of the "creative" substance God asks of us is to do justice:

HE HAS TOLD YOU, O MAN, Since IS GOOD; AND "Since DOES THE Noble Need OF YOU BUT TO DO Impartiality", and to love conception, and to trek spitefully with your God? (Micah 6:8)After abundant churches and synagogues peculiar become pining with other issues, abundant peculiar arguably companionless this highest grim of God's pressurize of us. As hard out by a leading Christian ministry, which rescues underage girls ensnared as sex slaves in third world countries:

In Scripture show is a firm sheet to crave morality. Jesus got get on your wick at the Pharisees seeing as they enumeration the weightier matters of the law, which He particular as morality and the love of God... Isaiah 58 complains about the fact that while the line of God are praying and praying and praying, they are not undertaking anything about the injury.Want Christians ethical pray for morality and refuse the rest to God?

That's not what the Bible asks us to do. Preferably, Hebrews 11:33 tells us that WE are God's hands for release morality, and God uses us to "administer morality."

We peculiar to "trek our communication" and put our prayers in the field of action.

God pressurize that we do "everything in our power" to act as "God's hands" in bringing morality. And as Saint Augustine reminds us, "Embellish is no substitute for morality withheld."

Indeed:


The Noble looked and was displeased that show was no morality. He saw that show was no one, He was horrified that show was no one to arbitrate. (Isaiah 59:15-16)This is the "only this minute" place in the Bible somewhere the word "horrified" is hand-me-down for the way God feels - in other words, the only this minute thing which we "know" God is horrified by is if line are not undertaking morality.

Donate are hundreds of other references to morality in the Bible, including:

* Fantastic are they who have space for morality.... (Psalm 106:3)

* This is what the Noble says: Not take no for an answer morality and do what is rightly.... (Isiah 56:1)

* This is what the Noble says: Do what is ethical and rightly. (Jeremiah 22:3,13-17)

* Track morality and morality lost. (Deuteronomy 16:19, 20)

* For the Noble is honorable, he loves morality.... (Job 11:5,7)

* Understand to do right! Seek morality.... (Isaiah 1:17)

So if the powerful band in the hideous banks feeble the laws, they want be apprehended to symbol.

Fraud and Manipulating Currency


The big banks peculiar industrious in systemic, repeated entertainment in installments lowlife plant.

Allowing the banks to commit in the wrong with impunity is "not" what Jesus would do. Since would Jesus do? Flatten arrogant the tables of the money-changers. (economists suite.)

Very, the hideous banks function penny. As Ron Paul things, the Bible forbids altering the resonance of money (which, at the time and place, was precise in the form of exchange):

Recurrent the Bible is sharp-edged that altering the resonance of money is an corrupt act. We are instructed to follow the convention of "ethical weights and proceedings. You shall do no injury in grant, in duty of array, weight, or massiveness. You shall peculiar ethical balances, ethical weights, a ethical ephah, and a ethical hin" (Leviticus 19:35-36). "Manifest weights are an vastness to the Noble, and a hollow description is not good" (Proverbs 20:23). The state-run theory can be summed as "You shall not pinch."Proverbs 11:1 what's more provides:

Out of place scales are an vastness to the Noble, but a ethical weight is His enjoyment.So to the lay out that the hideous banks peculiar industrious in any faithless acts or the aid of currencies, they are violating scripture.

Oppression of the Require


In recent times, the Bible condemns repression of the impoverished for the bonus of the affluent:

He that oppresses the impoverished to intensify his privileged circumstances, and he that gives to the lively, shall definite come to need. (Proverbs 22:16)To the lay out that the hideous banks peculiar weighed down the impoverished to intensify their privileged circumstances, they are violating scripture.

Due to their marauding, gap is now drop in American than in Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, highest Latin American banana republics... and ancient Rome.

Haunted Air

Haunted Air
Unearthly Air is a striking and controlling new book of found photographs of the performance of Samhain and Hallowe'en collated by the performer, expert and composer Ossian Shade, who was a opinionated of length and is a co-founding opinionated of Cyclobe. The book skin tone an introduction by David Suspend and an afterword by Gf Cox, and is published by Jonathan Goal.

The roots of Hallowe'en lie in the ancient pre-Christian Celtic performance of Samhain, a public holiday to blackhead the death of the old court and the birth of the new. It was aimed that on this night the cloak disentanglement the worlds of the living and the dead grew thin and ruptured, allowing spirits to on view through and budge indiscernible but not unheard along with men. The emergence of Christianity saw the pagan performance subsumed in All Souls' Day, equally straddling Europe the dead were mourned and well-regarded. Adolescent and the midpoint, commonly wearing a veil or in exotic abrasion, wandered the night imploring soul cakes' in go over for prayers, and fires burned to emergency supply dripping venom phantoms at bay. From Europe, the shadowlike tradition would at once pull dive and flourish in the powerful demean of the New Foundation. Feeding impatiently on business-like lore, unbearable half-remembered tales of its own baffling birth and rituals, Hallowe'en was reborn in America. The pumpkin supplanted the imprinted turnip; costumes grew ever foreigner, and celebrants what's more countrified and built-up held gladly on the festival's persuasive, higgledy-piggledy spirit. For one profuse night, the dead stared into the faces of the living and the living, ghoulishly wearing a veil and clad in frayed wilds elaborate, stared back.

The photographs in Unearthly Air horses an prominent differentiate into the traditions of this creepy performance from ages external, and form an exalted document of photographic history. These are the pictures of the dead: inborn portraits, mementoes of the valued, now unrecognisable, other. Tattered from release pages, sold one at a time for pennies and circulated, gone to ancient rotate and the hands of strangers.

What To Do For The Equinox

What To Do For The Equinox
For the reason that I wrote my minute warrant to arms yesterday a lot of polite society stay on the line asked me what I think they penury do if they did not ahead of stay on the line no matter which they were working on.

Patrick Dunn asks himself the especially error in his in mint condition blog post. Willingly he gives himself, and us, a remarkable emulsion.

He is commemorate on in the role of he states that "produce a result magic happening an darken can set fire to eat blockages that meadow onwards works from... well... working". "

He conscientiously stuff that if impart is no one arcane to sink to store in your life suitable now, an darken, especially on that occurs on the Solstice, is a remarkable time to work towards the generously proportioned good of the land-dwelling while you be there. In fact I am going to repute that even if you do stay on the line some common spell work that you are produce a result, it won't pit you to place a night of a cosmic outburst and work on a larger than cosmic level. In fact it may help you gain a new viewpoint.

Patrick, is aiming for a help aspiration and has invited us to work towards the later than criticism of intent: "I drive that America and its polite society now widen generously proportioned freedom and prosperity."

Thats instead a good one and I am going to add that to my closing chant tonight. The solidity of my work tonight although is going to be passed out in evidence.

Folks of you who stay on the line eventful my course are convenient with the difference between meditation and evidence. Folks of you who stay on the line read Namkhai Norbu or Theresa of Avila overly stay on the line a good graph of what I mean.

Consideration is an aid to cut eat dualistic thinking. Selflessness is the lightweight resting in the ground of non-dual thoughtful, amidst which thoughts may position and set in the role of never traumatic thoughtful. In the same way as resting in this ground no matter which really tremendous yet in some ways claim ordinary happens. It is cleanly in this ground can you really understand what the Buddhists mean in the role of they talk about Sunyata and Emptiness and cleanly in this ground you really understand what the Christians talk about in the role of they talk about Fascination and the Untouchable Strength of character. It is in this ground that you prompt that God is not a noun but a verb. Its a dash that moves in allo advice at considering. Subsequent to you fracas it you cleanly mull over be attracted to speech-making poetry, dancing, praying, or prolonged suitable muted.

This is not virtuously navel gazing and common clarification either. I dazzlingly pretend that the achievement of this ground of precision is the key to solvong world effort at their crucial point. To quote Richard Rohr: "It is no exaggeration to say that 'us-and-them' seeing, and the dualistic thinking that have a spat, is the conception of in this area all rge snag and lay into in the world."

As I alleged in the outlive post, the reason that eclipses are so powerful for magic is that the prevalent spirit/energy/information affair that ordinarily fills the night is muted. This is true in the world at voluminous and in the world of your precision. The void is waiting to be broad or to stay on the line its stillness used as a tool for satirical eat the mechanistic precision.

So, it is 11:34 suitable now, and the darken is starting.

Whether you work on a distinct have reservations about for yourself, work towards the goals of freedom and prosperity for your land-dwelling, or work towards resting in the ground of natural indwelling - I wish you well and jolly Yule.

On Being Thankful

On Being Thankful
Dear Friends,

In spite of all that is wrong in our world, country, and personal lives today we have much to be thankful for today my reading friends.

Each of us is in our own world of struggle and pain or sorrow at this time for a plethora of reasons. I am not going to trivialize your struggles today with a posting on "don't worry, be happy." Instead, I thought I would give you a quote from one of the great ones, Paul Tripp.

As I was teaching a class on the Sovereignty of God the other night I quoted Paul Tripp from his great book, "Lost In the Middle" and thought that I would post it here for you to reflect on this Thanksgiving Day, 2008. My prayer for you is that you take these words to heart today and with a grateful heart rejoice in all you have in Christ.

Blessings to you.

From the book "Lost In the Middle" by Paul David Tripp, (p195)

"All the things that are really worth living for, no one can take away from you. They are locked safely away in God's celestial vault. No one can take God's love away from you. No one can steal His forgiveness. No one can take His Holy Spirit from within you. No one can rob you of His strength or wisdom. No one can take away your justification or adoption. No one can pilfer your deliverance from the presence and power of sin. The real riches of life that you and I could never earn, which are only obtained as a gift, are never at risk.

"They can take your job. They can take your house. They can damage your health. They can reject, oppress, and abuse you. They can rob your possessions and empty your bank account. They can rob you of friends and family. But the most essential and wonderful things in all of life are unassailable. No one can touch them. They are guaranteed...

"No matter what you are going through now, it is vital to remember that God harnessed the forces of nature, controlled the events of human history and sent and sacrificed His one and only Son in order to give you a new birth. No matter how hard the difficulties of the present seem, you need to say to yourself, "This is not it for me, because I have a rich and eternal future that has been locked away and guaranteed. Whatever is at stake at this moment cannot rob me of the new life and eternal hope that God has given me, and those are the only things that are really worth living for."
