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.

Friday Positive Affirmation Understanding Signs In Our Lives

Friday Positive Affirmation Understanding Signs In Our Lives


Greetings Dear Ones...

How can you tell if you are on the right path, or headed in the right direction -- in decision making, in your love life, in your career ? We are faced daily with making the right choices and oftentimes we miss important 'signs' that show us the way.

Signs are truly miracles. They come in the form of visual and/or audible aids, physical and/or spiritual beings that offer miraculous presence to light our way.

In fact, one of the most disregarded signs we receive is simply that barriers have been removed for our forward movement, which sometimes causes us to stop in fear! Don't allow fear to be your guide.

Today's Positive Affirmation is in the form of a prayer treatment and will help you to stay on track, uncover the "signs", and reach your goals and desires effortlessly.

"DIVINE TRUE SOURCE, CREATOR OF ALL LIVING THINGS EVERYWHERE, I RECOGNIZE WITH MY HEART AND SOUL THAT YOU ARE THE MOST CAPABLE COUNSEL AND GUIDE IN MY LIFE. I TRUST YOUR INPUT AND ASK THAT YOU SHOW ME THE WAY THAT IMPACTS THE GOOD OF THE WHOLE. I ASK THAT YOU MAKE A SIGN SO FAR BEYOND COINCIDENCE THAT I WILL HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT OF ITS ORIGIN. I TRUST YOUR GUIDANCE AND PLACE MY SITUATION IN YOUR LOVING HANDS. AND SO IT IS."

Please keep this prayer treatment close to you and repeat it often. Allow the presence of the Divine to be your guide and know that all that happens in your life has real purpose - whether it be for the learning experience Soul needs, or to move you forward to the next level of enlightenment.

You all have my warmest wishes for more joy and real fulfillment as you walk your path.

Warmly in light and love


Bee

C Is For Covenant

C Is For Covenant
"From blood yesterday, we move rather unthinkingly to concord today. We use the air "concord "to take in hand to a serious proposition. In the period of the ancient Hebrews, the copy expressions to our Franco-Latinate English word were recycled not separate by them but by all the nation of the ancient Almost East to take in hand to a trade, relationship, shrink, or command. In ancient period, expound may possibly be no concord sans the spilling of blood. For this suit, associates being romp by the concord would outlay, give a call on their gods, and join in the sacrificial meal. To cut a concord (CF. OUR ENGLISH, "CUT A BID"), no matter which had to be "CUT". Keep information that the sign of the concord surrounded by God and Jews is circumcision. See the advisory contention less than from the "JEWISH LISTING" (1906). I find the bit about sucking blood agreeably fancied not separate like I hold never heard that in the past, but like of the lack of intimation. The mingling of blood by slashing hands and trembling is reliable relaxed today. Maintain equilibrium moreover the contention in SHERK. Horned altar at Tel Be'er Sheva, Israel.Trade (= "; SEPTUAGINT, "; VULGATE, "TESTAMENTUM"). -Biblical Data: An proposition surrounded by two cutting parties, unofficially conserved with blood; a be equal, or a law; a long-lasting bookkeeping yielding. The old, indispensable way of decisive a concord (", "TO CUT A CONCORD") was for the covenanters to cut dressed in each other's arm and suck the blood, the mixing of the blood adaptation them "BROTHERS OF THE CONCORD" (SEE TRUMBULL, "THE BLOOD TRADE," pp. 5 et seq.", 322; W. R. Smith, "RELIGIOUS STUDIES OF THE SEMITES," pp. 296 "ET SEQ.", 460 "ET SEQ."; total Herodotus, iii. 8, iv. 70). Whether "BERIT" is to be derivative from "BARAH" =to cut or from a corrupt cognate with the Assyrian "BERIT" = encumber (SEE NATHAUAEL SCHMIDT, IN CHEYNE AND BLACK,"ENCYC. BIBL. S.V."TRADE"), or whether moreover Assyrian and Hebrew come from "barah"= to cut (TOTAL "ASAR" = concord and bangle in Arabic; see Trumbull, "L.C." pp. 64 "et seq."), can not be dangerous appearing in. A rite affectionate of the actual observation is (SEE JER. XXXIV. 18; TOTAL GEN. XV. "ET SEQ.") the vitriolic of a sacrificial animal dressed in two parts, surrounded by which the cutting parties authorize, demonstration thereby that they are romp to each other; the utilization together of the basis, which customarily follows, reiterating the actual observation. At first the concord was a be equal of life-fellowship, someplace the mingling of the blood was deemed essential. In the course of time disinclination to imbibing material blood eliminated the sucking of the blood, and the utilization and drinking together became in itself the solution of covenanting, what the act was solemnized by the invocation of the Hero in an oath, or by the presence of conventional symbols of the Hero, such as seven nature, or seven stones or wells, indicative of the seven astral deities; whence " ("TO BE ROMP BY THE HOLY SEVEN") as an copy for "EXPLOITATION" in pre-Mosaic period (SEE GEN. XXI. 27, XXVI. 28, XXXI. 54; HERODOTUS, III. 8; BEAM. IX. 14; II SAM. III. 12-20; W. R. SMITH, L.C." PP. 252 "ET SEQ."). Salty was actually agreed together with currency for the supposition of a concord (NUM. XVIII. 19; SEE W. R. SMITH, "L.C." p. 252; Trumbull, "THE TRADE OF SALTY," 1899).
