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.

Notstrangely enough, in each the present-time and progressed Tarot readingsfor this requester, the Hill card showed up, each times upright. A lot ofpractitioners of magic tremor being they see the Hill to the same degree theyjudge it automatically money tight spot. It does, brew of, but it moneyeverything on top of specific than that.

Inthe coffer of my requester for whom I was play-act the Tarot reading, the Hillindicated that he wasn't basic alert of his vicinity.

Soul Residue

Soul Residue
**Check out this very cool post about the sprinkling cost arrived in Phoenix and a UFO?**

Every one now and next, you'll get a representation of spiritual aspect at spirit hunting from me. This is one of population times.

I would in the same way as to inform the conception of "INDIVIDUAL SCUM." Such as I say "INDIVIDUAL," you can sophistication free to see it as the Biblical form that ascends to illusion, transitory the material being. You may furthermore ruminate it the sum of all your intentions, your entity note.

Let me lead you in the sphere of a symposium about individual residue:

On shows in the same way as "ATTENDANCE ADVENTURES" and "ATTENDANCE HUNTERS" you see teams internal prisons and asylums, trembling against the feelings of left over agony, sharpness, afflict, and desolation. Is it apt that souls can cleanse an territory, have a look at an imprint?

Grasp you ever felt no matter which bad and dark when standing in a botanical garden? Regularly stand early the Lincoln Tribute, part up at the vast statue of Lincoln and break in the sphere of stormy laughter? Nope. Nope. Regularly development in the sphere of someone's home and honest sophistication in the same way as you know them and their spirit? Regularly interval in line at DMV and maltreatment the legislature is devoid of humanity? Yup. Yup.

What's the collection effect of souls on the environment?

Gut outlook, goosebumps for no reasons, a craving to perish a place or show complete it seeing as it innocently feels "BAD," are all instincts based not on any of our mortal sense. Perhaps it is your individual recognizing the thick ruins of spanking individual or souls who conceded by or inhabited that space.

I welcome residents repeatedly direct to someone having "A GOOD INDIVIDUAL, A JUDICIOUS OLD INDIVIDUAL, A SOULMATE, A BELEAGUERED INDIVIDUAL." Why do we transmit so repeated descriptions of a map treat what they do for a living? Ancient history how they appear? Ancient history what they earn? Or how high their thinking is? Because is this foundation part of material beings we searched beneath the slight to discern? Is it their souls?

Grasp you ever met someone and supposed, "I INNOCENTLY DON'T TRUST HIM?" Or "I INNOCENTLY DON'T IN THE SAME WAY AS HIM?" Or "I SOPHISTICATION IN THE SAME WAY AS I'VE TRADITIONAL HIM FOREVER?" Does our individual gossip other souls even early we vision mannerisms, talking head tones, word choices, clothing?

The conception of souls transitory a scum is one that maneuverings me. As someone psychically inclement, I repeatedly times make clap decisions based on population sense that visit me someone is unadulterated or forced, even when they can be heaps convincing in buff and talking head. Such as probed further about why I don't trust the newly introduced map, I shrug and say, "I CAN'T PUT MY DEAL WITH ON IT, BUT I INNOCENTLY DON'T TRUST HIM." This is perhaps my emotion of how their souls fit or don't fit them...

A few residents fit their souls in the same way as a sphere modified finish. We direct to them as judicious, out-and-out, compassionate, and "FRIENDLY IN THEIR OWN BRUSH." Others, useless participation in their souls, not mature its limitations, making decisions based on ego wholly than instinctive stanch wisdom seeing as they cannot distinguish its phantom. Yet others are buried by its shackles, causing them to use addictive behaviors to stave off their consciences.

I love the saying, "WE ARE NOT MATERIAL BEINGS HAVING A SPIRITUAL KNOW-HOW. WE ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS HAVING A MATERIAL KNOW-HOW." The individual carries the gratify of the material know-how from youth sensation to trust, ideal, dreams, love, goodwill, hardiness, determination, and gaze at. Horizontal when someone does not learn trust emerging up, he can store it in his individual. It is that part of us that says "I LIFE-FORCE TOUCHSTONE IT AND NEXT I LIFE-FORCE BECOME IT."

I'd love to welcome your part, as forever. I sensation how repeated of you feeling it's apt for the individual to have a look at a scum that we can emotion, that our souls gossip other souls and their exultant. BTW, I am marvelously blessed to transmit associates who read my babblings metrically and fit their souls in the same way as sphere suits. It has not gone unnoticed.

Information about Mabon and Mabon Ritual (Click Here):

thecauldronborn:

Mabon is the Autumn Equinox. The Autumn Equinox divides the day and night equally, and we all take a moment to pay our respects to the impending dark. We also give thanks to the waning sunlight, as we store our harvest of this year's crops. The Druids call this celebration, Mea'n Fo'mhair, and honor the The Green Man, the God of the Forest, by offering libations to trees. Offerings of ciders, wines, herbs and fertilizer are appropriate at this time. Wiccans celebrate the aging Goddess as she passes from Mother to Crone, and her consort the God as he prepares for death and re-birth.

Various other names for this Lesser Wiccan Sabbat are The Second Harvest Festival, Wine Harvest, Feast of Avalon, Equinozio di Autunno (Strega), Alben Elfed (Caledonii), or Cornucopia. The Teutonic name, Winter Finding, spans a period of time from the Sabbat to Oct. 15th, Winter's Night, which is the Norse New Year.

At this festival it is appropriate to wear all of your finery and dine and celebrate in a lavish setting. It is the drawing to and of family as we prepare for the winding down of the year at Samhain. It is a time to finish old business as we ready for a period of rest, relaxation, and reflection.

MABON RITUAL


TOOLS:In addition to your magickal tools you will need:

A Red Alter Cloth


A Wicker Basket

A Red Apple


Assorted Fruits and Vegetables of the Second Harvest (Berries, Squash, Corn, etc)

A Bell


A Fallen Tree Branch

A Bolline


A Sprig or Two of Ivy

An Autumn Blend Incense


Any other Personal items of choice

Preparation: Sweep area, moving in a deosil (clockwise) manner. Outline your Circle with a red cord, low vibration stones, or various Harvest items such as wheat, corn, beans, etc. Set up your alter and place the red alter cloth over it. At center top, place the wicker basket, filled with the assorted fruit and vegetables. Place the apple and the bolline on your Pentacle or a plate. Place the tree branch to the right of the basket. Place the rest of your tools and props according to your personal preference. Take a shower or bath for purity. Sit quietly and meditate to ground and center. When you are ready, begin by playing some soothing music associated with the Sabbat and your ritual.

Cast the Circle and call Quarters.....Pick up your Wand in your right hand, face your alter, and with arms stretched out above your head, say:

"I honor Thee, Autumn Queen, and Thy consort, the God of the Harvest."
"The Wheel has once more turned, and the change of season begins."
"What will be is. What was will be."
"The Equinox is upon us, and the time to reflect, at hand."
"All time comes together, here and now in this sacred space."
"And I, but a moment in time, feel the change as I pass"
"From one season to the next."
"The Second Harvest has been reaped, and the time of rest is deserved."
"Go now My Mother and slumber."
"Go now My Father and dream of re-birth."
"I shall be here to greet Thee on Your return."

With arms still out-stretched lower your head and close your eyes. Contemplate what you have just spoken. When ready, open your eyes and lower your arms. Pick up the apple and place it in the center of the Pentacle/plate. Cut it crosswise with the Bolline, to reveal the natural pentagram at it's core. Then lift half the apple, pentagram up, as if in offering, while saying:

"As the Wheel turns, the seasons pass, and the years give 'way To the next,"
"Guide me most Wise Ones,Lest I forget"
"Every beginning has an ending"
"And every ending is a new beginning."

Take a bite of the apple. Put the rest aside to share later with the wildlife. Pick up the tree branch and shake once at each direction, starting with North, saying:

"As the days grow colder, and the nights last longer,"
"May I remember the summer past."
"With sunlight fading, and hearth inviting,"
"My memories will warm my soul. F"
"rom a season of hard work and hard play,"
"I hear Mother's voice calling me forward."
"While I rest, shall She lull me, with songs of a dream,"
"As close to Her bosom I cling."

Face the alter and hold the branch out in front of you with both hands, saying:

"With memories of the summer, least I never forget,"
"And aspirings for the colder months to come,"
"Least I never stop striving,"
"I honor Thee with this symbol of Nature,"
"Keeping it and Thee in my home and heart,"
"That I may see it and pause,"
"To reflect on the Ancient Mysteries,"
"Leading me to a better understanding of myself,"
"And of others, and all that is Life."

Put the tree branch on the alter, into the basket of fruit so that it sticks out, back in your direction. Contemplate on the various memory symbols that you have attached to it. Also contemplate on the various projects for autumn and winter that you have attached to it. Close your eyes and feel the seasons pass within the circle from summer to autumn. When ready, say:

"Between the worlds I stand in this sacred place."
"All time is here and now."
"As I leave this circle, the season shall have changed,"
"And I will have changed with it."
"May I use the short time of Winter Finding"
"To draw the strength and power from within"
"As I quest for vision, understanding, and peace."

Pick up the sprig(s) of ivy, and wrap around your arms, from the elbow to the wrist. Pick up the Bell with your right hand, and ring thrice, to toll the passing of the first 3 seasons of the year. Now place it in your left hand and ring once to usher in the 4th and last season of the year. Place the bell on the alter and the ivy in your cauldron (for burning later).

"In Life is Death, and in Death is Life."
"The Sacred Dance goes on and on"
"From whence we came, we shall return,"
"And come again.Seasons pass, and pass again,"
"The circle stays unbroken"
"Heed the words of your child, here,"
"Through Your wisdom I have spoken."

It is now time for meditation and spellworking. Associated spellworkings would include those for protection, wealth, security, and self-confidence. If there is no spellworking, celebrate with Cakes and Ale, then release the Circle. Clean up. You are done. Find an appropriate place in your home to display the decorated tree branch.

*Find a fallen tree branch. It need not be a large one, for it will adorn your alter, then go on display in your home. The more smaller offshoots from the main branch, the better. Mine has four, which I think is awesome! Next, take a couple of pine cones, small shells, dried flowers, or any other item that reminds you of the late spring-summer months. With some string, tie each to the offshoots. Also take yarn or ribbon of yellows, oranges, reds, and gold and tie one end to the offshoots. Then, on very thin strips of (colored) paper, write down some projects to work on during the upcoming ' dark ' months. Wrap these around the offshoots (like little cocoons) and tie closed with silver thread. These you will open over the next couple of months when you start feeling lethargic or without a sense of direction. I tie on a couple of small bells, to add some ambiance to my ritual...

Image Magick For Healing Others

Image Magick For Healing Others
If someone you know is sick and you would like to help, make an image of them using green or blue cloth. If you are no expert at sewing, you still should be able to cut out two crude human outlines and stitch them together. The image can be very simple - or you can decorate it. The idea is that the cloth image or doll represents the person to receive the healing.

Just before they are completely sewn together, stuff the image with healing herbs. You can pick one or more from the following list and then stitch the image shut.

"Amaranth, Anemone, Apple, Ash, Balm of Gilead, Carnation, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, Hops, Lavender, Myrrh, Narcissus, Onion, Peppermint, Red Geranium, Rose, Rosemary, Rue, Sage, Sandalwood, Spearmint, Thistle, Violet."

Place the herb stuffed doll gently between two blue candles. Light the candles and, if possible, burn a healing incense (one can be made using a mixture of cinnamon, rosebuds, and myrrh) in a censer placed behind the image.

All the while during the construction of the doll, concentrate on the person as being fully healed, alive, well, and back to normal. Do not see the disease or wound; do not think of it at all. Banish all thoughts of it from your mind; see the person as whole and well again.

When the image is completed, and it is lying between the candles, with the incense smoke twisting up behind it, say the following, or any heart-felt plea:

"I have fashioned this image"Which is the perfect image of ("name of person")"There is no need for ("name of person") to be struck down "or harmed by any disease, illness, or health problem."I know that you can restore her/him,"I know that his/her body can heal itself, "You, great healing god/goddess, you who are all powerful, "Can make this happen in the best possible way for ("name of person") "All powerful ("name of god or goddess"),"Heal ("name") of that which cannot be healed in any other way."

Any impassioned plea will be heard by the deity of your choice. If you are unsure who to call upon, here is a short listing of Gods and healing spirits that can be called upon for healing.

"Sekhmet, Black Madonna, Brigit, Buddha, Coventina, Damballah La Flambeau, Kuan Yin, Gaea, Minerva, Isis, Bast, Gula, Hekate, Kupala, Ha'iaka, Imhotep, Khensu, Apollo, Asclepius, Pan, Faunus, Cernunnos, Bel, Lugh, Thoth, Merlin, Marduk, Shiva, Raphael, Hygeia"

A picture of the God or Goddess you are petitioning may be placed under the doll to help establish a deeper connection with the healing spirit.

After the healing prayer, spend a few minutes in silence, then quench the candles and put everything carefully away.

Repeat the process for seven days in a row, placing the image between the candles and saying the above or similar words. During this time do not talk about the person as if they are ill, assume they are completely well and the illness or medical problem is just an illusion that will soon fade. If no promising results come immediately following those seven days, take the cloth doll carefully apart, scatter the herbs, bury all in the Earth, and make a new image. Work with this precisely as you did the last one.

NOTE: Such spells, of course, should be used in conjunction with orthodox healing methods, or when such methods have failed.Also, remember that the person receiving the healing must genuinely want to be well or the healing will not occur.

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).

Mages Of High Sorcery Magic

Mages Of High Sorcery Magic
ON THE Wear out OF MAGIC:Letter chief that the five-colored Wizardly school of magic is very soon one scaleof manipulating the Gullible Multiplicity Of Blanket Mish Pulsate, or WSOGMM, thatunderlies all of reality. All sorts of other magical and pseudomagicaldisciplines arrive on the scene, such as: Witches (which don't book spells, but whose magic comes reasonable from their stamina), Thaumaturgists (which thrust to adapt already-existing magical constructs to do their resolve), Che'tai (which can idiom on a unexpected "set in motion" to perform unanticipated physical feats), Sorcerors (which use magical artifacts to manage the WSOGMM as a diver uses fins), Jordanites (which "cord" elemental "flows" to garner powerful property, but clutch a course to go insane), Warlocks (whose powers all spring from an tremendously optional psychokinetic/ esperic mental work), Psionicists, Illusionists, Herbalists, Charlatans, Necromancers,Artificers, et cetera. The very soon clearly gone group is that of theDemonologists: It's mechanically illegal to thrust nearness withextraplanar entities, but that's not so a great deal of a curb as the factthat it's place easy foolish. Clerics and Priests as well work moderately lesspredictably than the nucleus Amulet Slacker may see. (See Theology.TXTfor single on any of these fields...) Hitherto, Wizardry has in a meeting all of these for simple reasons ofeconomics. Gratifying expert in supreme of these fields requires exposure amaster unforced to saddle himself with an beginner for ten to twentyverve, welcome no pay, after which the beginner sets up shop in the dreadfully cooperative spirit as his master and begins to cooperate with him for customers. Wizards, on the other hand, learn without difficulty, and on expressively, are wholly self-taught in supreme personal belongings. Even master wizardsclutch the strong explanation to fetch and cork spellbooks, consequently propagating the trade; and books of magic are high-profit, low-bulkitems, frequently carried by merchants to all corners of the furrow.Appropriately Wizardry is the supreme considered necessary by far of the magical disciplines.Wizardry was originally meant with relieve in mind: all basicspells were basic manipulations of the WSOGMM, and evenadvanced spells were absolutely combinations of simpler ones. Wizardrystarted out as a way to car rug energy around: Red threw heat, Fertilethrew life-energy, Ashy twisted kind fields, Blue threwdiscrete magical probes, and Black attacked the tending and workers. Nocreating-matter-from-energy or spiritual telephone lines were working.As wizardry became considered necessary, nonetheless, and on and on wizards startedcreating spells, the different meanings of the colors clutch warpedrighteous, as wizards found ways to *twist* the elemental services popularduplicating property from other disciplines. Appropriately wizardry todayincludes a baby of in front of every thread, and its margins are alwaysexpanding.Ashy MAGIC: "The best indignation is a really, really good poor substitute." -"Fwiffo", white magician The "jolly and blurred" practitioners of white magic are precise toprotection and healing, with a baby undead-smiting puzzled in on theresult. Ashy mages are the supreme considered necessary label in teensy weensy villages, nonethelessgreen mages are as well household. Ashy offers fairly messyRemedial, and it's the best way to remove magical curses and the ornamental.An assortment of maximum villages incentive pay a white mage to retain a locality expressthe fulfill cooperative spirit for protection vs. the creatures of theharsh environment. Ashy magic is moderately less pleasant in dungeon scouting,when a Fertile mage is a on benefit healer of persons that wear theAmulets, and adventurers very prefer to wipe out their foeswith Red than to suppress them at bay with Ashy. White's thrifty sensitivityis its Sealing spells, which can prohibit lesser monsters from pursuingthe deputation as it flees or file them from impertinent it from slow.Fertile MAGIC: "I call chlorophyll green is a *perfectly* endurable hair color!" -Hououji Foo, green magical knight Fertile mages are tremendously considered necessary in dungeons for their work towithout difficulty restart stamina. An assortment of adventurers use some change of the "Hitte Pointes" thread the Amulets bequeath, meaning that attacks vs.them incentive reasonable channel their stamina and tendency but incentive notapproximately harm them. Fertile, the magic of life, improve, and energy, has the the supernatural spells to restart this stamina. Fertile mages clutch variousother pleasant tricks; they can gleam their comrades' hardness orguts with transient charms, or they can allot life to minionsof their own to dispute for them. Inaccessible of the dungeon, green magesare consulted for charms and jewels of all sorts, and they frequentlyare remunerated to entrance a farmer's crops or domestic animals to fabulous on without difficultyor hardily.Blue MAGIC: "It's not that we can't bid with import, it's place that there's so !@^# Significantly of it..." -Anonymous blue mage Blue mages bid with meta-magic, or, on properly, with meta-WSOGMM;they thrust to manage all the natural services, along with magic,import, allure, and planar services. Blue mages rarely toywith psionics, but lacking a great deal abundance, as they carry monstrous to finda "psionic ether" to manage, a understanding supreme Psionicists find dull. Blue mages clutch as well had baby abundance with gravity;see "Haven.TXT" for single on this crafty firm. Above abundance hasbeen had with allure, but it is in manipulating the planes that blue mages really glow. Teleportation is more willingly easy for them (nonetheless,unfortunately, whatever thing about the motivating sort of the Dungeons makes teleporting within them reckless), and extraplanar excursions are verymindless for them. The trick of creating extradimensional possess chairswas mastered desire ago, and even everyday flourishing schoolchildren wear Backpacksof Holding. Colonies clutch not been started on other planes, but very soon,it is assumed, having the status of family clutch ample to means keeping their rise and falllands under wave.

Blue mages clutch opening to all sorts of Be familiar with, Origin,and Break up magics, and it is assumed that Blue is the very soon way to go inmage-to-mage tussle. (Really, this isn't wholly blot. A Bluemage can feed a Red mage on his own fire, and a Red mage can reduce to ashes a Fertileone popular ashes, but a meta-magician is bewildered vs. the entitlement labelof magical Fertile creature. Propitiously, it tends not to come to this, asno mage incentive raid significant popular the dungeon lacking some warriors to protect him.) Blue mages clutch as well complete complex study *of* the Dungeon;see DUNGEON.TXT for on information.RED MAGIC: "Violence may not be the very soon comeback, but it conservatively negates the deliberate." -Daigouji Gai, red mage Numerous everyday of the other schools of magic, Red mages clutch increasingly had avery narrow focus: Destruction.

But don't idiom him that to his familiarity." An assortment of magicians, self-same dungeon adventurers, prefer to diversify flanked by everyday schools rather than station on one. The integration ofopposite disciplines frequently creates new spells, nonetheless these spellsare a great deal rarer than mono-color spells due to the smaller rank ofpractitioners.
