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.

Magical Witch Dinner

Magical Witch Dinner
TONIGHT FOR SUPPER I AM GOING TO FIX A FAVORITE PASSED ON TO US BY AN OLD ITALIAN FRIEND. THE DISH IS CALLED "WITCH'S DINNER." IT HAS GROWN TO BE ONE OF OUR FAVORITE'S AS WELL.

MILLY, OUR FRIEND, USED TO TELL US, "IF AN ANGRY WITCH CAME TO VISIT YOU, WHAT WOULD YOU OFFER HER? AFTER ALL HUNGRY CRANKY WITCHES ARE DANGEROUS WITCHES, LIABLE TO CAST MEAN DESTRUCTIVE SPELLS, MAYBE EVEN THE EVIL EYE."

THIS ITALIAN DISH "WITCH'S DINNER" REPUTEDLY SATISFIES, PACIFIES AND PLEASES EVEN THE FUSSIEST WITCH. SUPPOSEDLY SERVING THIS DISH TO A WITCH (OR PERHAPS ANYONE) DISARMS HER. THE RESULT IS THAT IT MAKES HER WISH TO DO GOOD THINGS FOR YOU, NOT HARM.

LUCKILY IT IS AN EXTREMELY SIMPLE, QUICK, INEXPENSIVE (EVEN CHEAP) DISH TO PREPARE FEATURING GARLIC (THE GODDESS HECATE'S FAVORITE) AND SOME "MAGICAL" BEANS.

THE LATIN TERM FOR THEM IS CICER ARIETINUM, AND THEY ARE THE MOST WIDELY LOVED BEAN ON EARTH. ALSO KNOWN AS GARBANZO BEANS IN SPAIN. AND CHICKPEAS IN ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRIES. IN ITALIAN THEY ARE KNOWN AS CECCI.

WITCH'S DINNER:



TWO TABLESPOONS OF EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL


PEELED FRESH GARLIC, FINELY CHOPPED

ONE CAN OF CHICKPEAS



CHOPPED FRESH MINT



SALT AND FRESHLY GROUND BLACK PEPPER TO TASTE


1. WARM THE OLIVE OIL IN A CAST IRON PAN.

2. CAREFULLY SAUTE' THE GARLIC IN THE OLIVE OIL.

3. WHEN THE GARLIC BEGINS TO BROWN, ADD CHICKPEAS TO THE PAN, BUT NOT THE LIQUID.

4. ADD THE CHOPPED MINT AND SAUTE' FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES.

5. SEASON TO TASTE WITH SALT, PEPPER AND EXTRA MINT IF DESIRED.

6. SERVE ON PASTA OR TOAST.

*IF THE MIXTURE IS TOO DRY, ADD A LITTLE OF THE LIQUID FROM THE CAN.

GOOD LUCK, GOOD FOOD AND GOOD MAGIC,

LORY

Make A Psychic Dream Pouch To Have Prophetic Dreams

Make A Psychic Dream Pouch To Have Prophetic Dreams

By Tana Hoy

Psychic visions and messages from the spiritual plane can be obtained through your dreams. Your dreams are a means for you to gain higher forms of knowledge. However, in most cases, you may hardly remember your dreams or think you did not dream at all because you have forgotten what transpired in it. Other times, you do remember your dreams but realize that all you had were a replay of the day's events.

Your dreams are a very good psychic tool if they are the right kind of dreams - those which are psychic in nature. Dreams which simply illustrate your residual memories of the day are not always relied upon for psychic interpretation; moreover, they block out access to deeper parts of your mind where more meaningful dreams come from.

Psychic dreams are those which occur when you are in a deeply relaxed state and your subconscious opens you up to a higher level of consciousness. Apart from keeping a ritual prior to sleeping which aims to relax your mind and body, there is also a way for you to help bring about psychic dreams. You can do this every night. This means that you can have psychic dreams regularly and be able to take note of and understand patterns and meanings which arise from it.

This method for having psychic dreams is a very simple one. All you need to do is have a small drawstring pouch, and any of the following herbs. You can choose to have all, or just one of them, or just select which herbs you like.

Chamomile


Cloves

Jasmine


Mint

Pine


Rose

Rosemary


Each of these herbs aids in making you receptive to psychic visions and dreams. When you have picked and prepared your herbs and your drawstring pouch, empower them by following these easy steps:

1. Sit down comfortably and place the pouch and herbs in front of you.

2. Take a few moments for deep breathing until your body and mind relax completely.

3. Get the pouch and open it. Start placing the herbs in it, in small amounts. As you do this, visualize the herbs' natural powers working together to create a powerful item which will bring about psychic dreams.

4. When you are done, tightly close the drawstring pouch, sealing the powers of the herbs together. Their energies are released through the pouch's cloth.

5. Hang your herb pouch over your bed or anywhere close to it.

Every couple of weeks, replace the contents of your dream pouch; you can also change them sooner, if you feel it is already needed. If there is hardly any scent, it is also an indicator that the herbs are too dried up already, and you can refresh your herb pouch.

Don't forget to take note of all the dreams you have in a dream journal. This will help you remember the psychic dreams you have had and what they signify, should you wish to refer back to them.

If you do not immediately have psychic dreams on the first night after making the pouch, do not worry. You will eventually be able to have and remember more psychic dreams. You also need to be completely at peace in mind and body in order to have psychic dreams. This is why it is important to make sure you are not preoccupied by the day's events before going to sleep, so that your mind has space to welcome your dreams.

No Adie O Amanh Uma Miragem

No Adie O Amanh Uma Miragem
A iniciac~ao 'e um ritual fort'issimo conhecido no oriente como Shrotapann ou Krip'a-Guru que objetiva uma transmic~ao de poderes ou dons que despertam o homem/ mulher do seu sono, de sua falta de consci^encia, de suas ilus~oes (maya, de amarras dos passado). Voc^e provalvelmente j'a 'e iniciado no catolicismo, l'a isso se chama de batismo. E Batista iniciou nas 'aguas do rio Jord~ao milhares de buscadores. Em hebraico chama-se Kabol - Transmic~ao.No passado era dif'icil ser iniciado, era penoso, haviam testes e trovac~oes, e isso poderia demorar vidas ou anos. Tinha-se que servir os mestres e haviam poucos que assumiam o disc'ipulo em seus mosteiros para iniciarem.Hoje o mundo n~ao tem car^encia de mestres e sim de disc'ipulos. Muitos s~ao os achadores e poucos s~ao os buscadores.Poucos querem receber um Neo-Sannyas, uma iniciac~ao pois isso 'e um grande salto em busca da liberdade, da ren'uncia do passado uma criac~ao de um novo ser e o abandono da velha identidade. Iniciac~ao 'e algo que toca teu corac~ao. N~ao 'e como um livro ou texto que enche tua mente de palavras. 'E uma experi^encia pessoal personal, inesquec'ivel e n~ao mental.Envie uma carta ou statement falando um pouco de voc^e e os motivos ou o desejo de receber esse Krip'a-Guru, a transmic~ao das egr'egoras. escreva quais tradic~oes que mais aprecia: tantra, bruxaria, xam^anismo, druid'ismo, cristianismo m'istico, enfim o que toca teu corac~ao pois com a iniciac~ao recebe-se um nome m'istico que te colocar'a em contato com a egr'egora escolhida e que tamb'em representa uma nova vida.Para aqueles que n~ao desejam dar esse mergulho e receberem a iniciac~ao pessoal "Ao vivo" segue em anexo um Ritual de Auto-iniciac~ao na Wicca - a religi~ao da Deusa. Leia o texto em todas suas partes antes da pr'atica.Provavelmente, como j'a disse, voc^e 'e da religi~ao do Deus Pai -Cat'olico- e a iniciac~ao nessa escola de Wicca, te abre para outros universos principalmente com a energia da terra, das montanhas, do sol, lua, c'eu, etc.Se voc^e sagrado leitor e sagrada leitora confiam no trabalho pr'atico de Ot'avio Leal e/ou Diana Prem Zeenat poder'a estar dando um arremesso em sua consci^encia solicitando uma iniciac~ao pessoal.RITO DA AUTO-INICIAC~AO NA WICCA (para Bruxos Solit'arios)(NOTA: Depois da auto-iniciac~ao na Arte, 'e importante que a pessoa estude a filosofia b'asica de Wicca e sinta sinceramente em seu corac~ao que a Religi~ao Antiga da Deusa 'e um dos caminhos corretos a seguir, para isso leia o livro Mist'erios Wiccanos da Ed. Gaia.) Se voc^e deseja se tornar um Bruxo e n~ao pode ser iniciado por um coven - grupo de wicca (ou se prefere trabalhar como um Solit'ario), pode iniciar-se na Arte e dedicar-se `a Deusa (M~ae) e ao Seu consorte o Deus (Pai), realizando o ritual da Auto-iniciac~ao em uma noite de lua cheia ou crescente ou no seu anivers'ario.Comece despindo suas roupas e tomando um banho ritual'istico perfumado ou de ervas (simbolizando o elemento 'agua) para purificar seu corpo e seu esp'irito de qualquer vibrac~ao. Durante o banho, limpe sua mente de todos os pensamentos mundanos, negativos e desagrad'aveis, e medite at'e seu corpo ficar totalmente relaxado.Ap'os o banho, cause no ch~ao um c'irculo com cerca de 1,5m de di^ametro, usando giz, tinta branca ou com barbante. Salpique um pouco de sal (simbolizando o elemento terra) sobre o c'irculo para consagr'a-lo, dizendo:COM O O SAL EU CONSAGROE ABENC^OO ESTE C'IRCULOSOB OS NOMES DIVINOS DA DEUSAE DO SEU CONSORTE, O DEUSABENCOADO SEJA!Sente-se no centro do c'irculo de prefer^encia, voltado para o norte, com duas velas brancas (simbolizando o elemento fogo) e um incens'orio com incenso, (simbolizando o elemento ar) diante de voc^e. ('E melhor realizar esse ritual a s'os e nu; entretanto, se voc^e n~ao se sentir `a vontade para trabalhar sem roupa, poder'a usar uma veste cerimonial branca.) Acenda o incenso, em seguida, a primeira vela e repita:EU TE INVOCO E TE CHAMO,OH DEUSA M~AE, CRIADORA DE VIDAE ALMA DO UNIVERSO INFINITO.PELA CHAMA DA VELA EPELA FUMACA DO INCENSOEU TE INVOCO PARA ABENCOAR ESTE RitualE PARA GARANTIR A MINHA ADMISS~AONA COMPANHIA DOS TEUS FILHOS AMADOS.OH BELA DEUSA DA VIDA EDO RENASCIMENTO,QUE 'E CONHECIDA COMO DEVA, SHAKTIATENAS, BR'IGIDA, 'ISIS, MELUSINE, AFRODITEE POR MUITOS OUTROS NOMES DIVINOS,NESTE C'IRCULO CONSAGRADO A LUZ DE VELASEU ME COMPROMETO A TE HONRAR,A TE AMAR E A TE SERVIR.ENQUANTO EU VIVERPROMETO RESPEITAR E OBEDECER `A TUA LEIDE AMOR A TODOS OS SERES VIVOS.PROMETO NUNCA REVELAROS SEGREDOS DA ARTEA QUALQUER HOMEM OU MULHER QUE N~AOPERTENCA AO MESMO CAMINHO;E JURO ACEITAR O CONSELHO WICCANIANO DE"N~AO PREJUDICAR NINGU'EM, FACAM O QUE QUISEREM."OH DEUSA, RAINHA DE TODAS AS BRUXAS,ABRO MEU CORAC~AO E MINHA ALMA PARA TI.ASSIM SEJA.Acenda a segunda vela e diga:EU TE INVOCO E TE CHAMO,OH GRANDE DEUS DOS PAG~AOS,SENHOR DAS MATAS VERDESE PAI DE TODAS AS COISAS SELVAGENS E LIVRES.PELA CHAMA DA VELA E PELA FUMACA DO INCENSOEU TE INVOCO PARA ABENCOAR ESTE Ritual.OH GRANDE DEUS DA MORTEE DE TUDO O QUE VEM DEPOIS,QUE 'E CONHECIDO COMO CERNUNNOS, ATTIS, P~A, SHIVA, DAGHDA, FAUNO, FREY, ODIN, LUPERCUSE POR MUITOS OUTROS NOMES.NESTE C'IRCULO CONSAGRADO `A LUZ DE VELASEU ME COMPROMETO A TE HONRAR,A TE AMAR E A TE BEM SERVIR.ENQUANTO EU VIVER.OH GRANDE DEUS DA PAZ E DO AMORABRO MEU CORAC~AO E MINHA ALMA PARA TI.ASSIM SEJA.Mantenha suas m~aos abertas e voltadas para os c'eus. Feche os olhos e let your imagination run riot dois raios brancos de luz brilhante descendo dos c'eus e penetrando a palma de suas m~aos. Uma sensac~ao morna de formigamento se espalhar'a pelo seu corpo `a medida que o poder do amor da Deusa e do Deus purificar sua alma.N~ao se assuste se comecar a ouvir uma voz (ou vozes) falando dentro de sua mente. Podem ser a Deusa e o Deus dentro de voc^e, revelando sua presenca. (Embora nem todos os Wiccanianos oucam ou percebam as verdadeiras palavras ditas pela Deusa e pelo Deus alguns sentem sua presenca divina e seu amor, n~ao 'e incomum que as deidades pag~as falem diretamente com um Bruxo recentemente auto-iniciado, especialmente se ele ou ela for sensitivo.)Permaneca no c'irculo sagrado at'e que as velas e o incenso terminem. (se for necess'ario apague as velas com 'agua) E, ent~ao, encerra-se o Ritual de Auto-Iniciac~ao. Se desejar a iniciac~ao pessoal na "tradic~ao" entre em contato com a Humaniversidade.

Imbolc 2012 Guidance For The Year

Imbolc 2012 Guidance For The Year
As a follower of a seasonal path, and someone who has developed their sensitivity to the variety and strength of the energies available throughout the year, Imbolc - February 1st - marks the opening of the new year. For me it symbolises the return of the male energies. What does this mean exactly? It means that up until the beginning of February the Sun's light has been too weak to feed the activity of the male subtle energies that inhabit the Earth, and which are present in living things. Therefore, for me, Imbolc marks the beginning of an increase in the strength and vitality of anything that is enlivened by the influence of male (or Sun-sourced) energies.

In Britain this year there has been an exception to this general rule concerning the presence of male energy. Male 'subtle' energy has in fact been available, albeit in a very weakened form. This has been due to the amount of sustained sunlight that we have been receiving. You can feel it in the land - the birds are singing, the buds are appearing, there have even been flowers blooming in January - normally a time when most delicate biological entities retreat into themselves and rest. An unusual year indeed. At this exact moment the frost and cold has returned to bite, yet the sun continues to shine. It is a most unusual beginning.

THE HEAT AND HEIGHT OF THE SUMMER

The unusual start makes it difficult to contemplate how the year might work itself out. Are we going to see the seasons having "unseasonal" weather? Are they going to be unrecognisable from our traditional weather patterns? What will this mean for the strength and prevalence of the Earth's subtle energy forces, and for the living biological energy of its inhabitants? My feeling is that we are going to see a real peak in Sun energy this year. This may require some balancing out by those of us who work well with Moon energy (female), as we feed a calming influence into the land through selected node points on the energy grid. Let's not get all hot-headed and hysterical just because the Olympics are coming to town in the height of Summer! It's just a game, an amusement, a distraction.

As with all previous years that I have followed my spiritual path I returned to the Llangernyw Yew Tree for inspiration. Communing with this tree seems to set the spark on the year's tinder and soon a flame of encouraging light emerges from the kindling provided by this ancient life force nestled deep in the heart of a small village in North Wales. I will talk about the visit in more detail soon, but the outcome was one word: "RENOWN". I WILL BE SPENDING THE YEAR SEEKING OUT SOURCES TO INCREASE MY PERSONAL POWER. Renown is a subject that I will return to and explain more fully in subsequent posts. No doubt I have much more to learn about it as the year goes on.

Now let's talk about specific preparations that I am making for Imbolc, and that you could make too.

PREPARATIONS FOR IMBOLC

What can the roving druid do for Imbolc? Is it best to follow the traditional methods, or to be more 'modern' about the whole process? Sometimes I feel that people are searching this site for a list of instructions. Other times I feel the right message to deliver is my own message, and to hope that it resonates with you all. I don't do traditional. I have read many rituals, poems, myths, stories - ancient and modern. I have read accounts, histories and reconstructions from guiding spirits coming through sensitive mediums. All of this information I have absorbed, and I should be in a good position to reveal to everyone reading this blog how they should conduct themselves for Imbolc. But I won't. Rather, the message is simply for you to make your own preparations. Find your own guides. Go search them out in Nature. Let yourself be guided by those who take a direct interest in your spiritual path.

This year I am hoping to attend a ceremony dedicated to Brigid at a local megalithic site. I have bought candles for a ceremony of light. I haven't been to such an event before, but this opportunity just fell right and everything about it seemed to be correct. I knew instantly that it was the right thing to do this year. I am reserving judgment at this time, and then I will report back once it's finished. Kal is hoping that we can encompass some other sites in the area too that day. Let's hope so, because we always have an interesting time at Imbolc. it seems to be a real kick-start to the year for us both.

Well, those are my preparations for Imbolc, but what should you be doing? Here are some suggestions I have for you based on my experience of the energies and entities available at this time of year:-

* FIND A SACRED SITE THAT IS ALREADY DEDICATED TO OR ASSOCIATED WITH "BRIGID". The site may contain the name "Brigid", "Bride", "Brid" or any of the other variations of her name. Connecting to or being bathed in the energies of Brigid offers a feeling of nurturing, of well-being, and the metaphorical "light" associated with her can offer revelations as to where you may progress to in the coming year. Here's a link to some information about Brigid.

* CONCENTRATE ON THE SYMBOLISM OF LIGHT. The first chinks of the light returning to the mornings and evenings as Spring approaches is part of the thanks that we are offering in our energetic exchanges with Nature. The nature of this light, and its connection to our inner light (our 'divine spark', if you will) is an important symbol of the energetic links being forged at this festival period.

* MAKE AN OFFERING OR SACRIFICE that symbolises your dedication to progress through embracing light. From example, this year I have bought a lot of candles that I intend to offer to anyone else present at a Brigid site that I attend. In addition to the physical donation I anticipate allowing some of my own inner light to flow through the connection with the Brigid entity and to donate that part of my spirit to the site.

In your preparations I would also refer you to a chart that Kal recently drew up that listed the various proportions of how people's energies contribute to sacred events. Maybe a good time to review that and decide on how you might want to being things into alignment for Imbolc?

Have a bright and cheery day, whatever you do!

Gwas.

Secrets Of The Founding Fathers History Channel June 29Th

Secrets Of The Founding Fathers History Channel June 29Th
Last November, I was in Washington DC with Digital Ranch Productions being interviewed for a History Channel program, "Secrets of the Founding Fathers." The interviews were based largely on my book "Solomon's Builders."

Brothers Mark Tabbert ("American Freemasons: Three Centuries of Building Communities") and S. Brent Morris ("The Complete Idiot's Guide To Freemasonry") were also interviewed, along with Richard Brookhiser ("Founding Father: Rediscovering George Washington"), Steven Bullock ("Revolutionary Brotherhood"), Robert Hieronimus ("Founding Fathers, Secret Societies"), and many others. I have not seen the edited program, and so I can make no promises of how the final product turned out. We shot at Lafayette Park, in front of the Capitol. in Alexandria at Gatsby's Tavern, at the site of the original cornerstone of the Federal City, and in front of the House of the Temple. The production company spent time in Philadelphia and traveled to England, as well.

I noticed today it has appeared on the History Channel schedule for Monday, June 29th at 8PM, and will rerun again at midnight, EST.

Here, then, is the official listing:


Secrets of the Founding Fathers Monday, June 29th 08:00 PM Tuesday, June 30th 12:00 AM

Investigates the history and symbology so prominent in the creation of the United States, and traces the intricate connections of the Founders with Freemasonry, other secret organizations and between each other. How did the trademarks of the highly secretive Masons become integrated into the Great Seal, and on the dollar bill containing the All-Seeing Eye? Did the grid design of the nation's capital--commissioned by George Washington and completed by Pierre L'Enfant--contain occult symbols embraced by the Illuminati in 1776? Did Benjamin Franklin and George Washington deliberately enlist 33 Freemason generals from France to grow the fraternal brotherhood among Masonic nations? Explore the secret (and secretly dark) sides of the men responsible for laying the foundation of the United States.

As I said, I make no promises. I'll be as surprised as you are.

The full broadcast schedule is:


Mon 6/29 8:00-10:00pm

Tue 6/30 12:00-2:00am

Fri 7/3 8:00-10:00pm

Sat 7/4 12:00-2:00am

Sun 7/5 2:00-4:00pm
