As Fotos Do Wiccanique 2010

As Fotos Do Wiccanique 2010
Olha o pessoal gritando enquanto o Pica-Pau descia as cataratas no barril: Orrrraaaaay!

Gente! Perdoem-me a demora em aparecer, mas uma ressaca se abateu sobre mim e s'o agora consegui sair do sof'a (pra onde pretendo voltar j'a, j'a!). Mas eu tinha que falar do Wiccanique de Sampa! Como foi lindo! Pra comecar, a energia do Parque da Aclimac~ao 'e fant'astica! O Trianon era bastante denso, todos notaram isso. As entidades do Parque n~ao atrapalharam, mas tamb'em n~ao se manifestaram. Praticamente, s'o haviam as entidades que foram comigo. Agora, no Aclimac~ao, as entidades eram muitas e todas afoitas por participar do ritual. Fomos recebidos de bracos e asas abertos. Alguns de n'os puderam ver as nereidas do lago (que nos puxavam de vez em quando), as fadas e silfos eram constantes e alguns puderam ver meu drag~ao sobrevoando o lugar. Num exerc'icio de visualizac~ao, nos foi dada a permiss~ao de "ver" a energia que nos circulava. E TODOS viram que est'avamos cercados de luz azul.

Olha que gente bonita! Eu tenho tanto orgulho dos meus leitores e alunos! Sempre se comportam bem e sempre levam um sorriso com eles. Isso 'e aplicar a magia no dia a dia. De que adianta celebrar todos os sabats e esbats, ler todos os livros de Gardner e viver criando confus~ao com os outros, viver de mau slapstick e n~ao contribuir com nada de bom para o mundo? Voc^es, meus queridos leitores, est~ao de parab'ens! Que seus sorrisos iluminem sempre o dia de algu'em, como iluminaram o meu no domingo!

Este domingo, dia 10 de julho, tamb'em era o dia de Holda e quem ficou esperto para o alcateia.com e para O Mundo de Eddie, levou um anel para ser encantado com a energia de protec~ao de Holda, a Senhora das Bruxas. Entoamos um c^antico muito bonito para ela durante o ritual de protec~ao com as fadas e nereidas. T'inhamos tanta energia elemental presente que nem vimos o rank passar. O Wiccanique comecou mais cedo e terminou `as tr^es da tarde!

Olha quanta coisa gostosa! Eu adorei! N~ao consegui comer tudo e tive que abrir espaco que nem a Selec~ao da Holanda jogando hoje, empurrando e batendo, pra conseguir pegar um bolo! E valeu a pena! Brincadeira, o pessoal sempre me d'a comida quando eu peco. Ou eu roubo do prato deles mesmo...

Pude reencontrar muita gente legal e m'agic que eu n~ao via `a tempos, e conheci muita gente nova tamb'em! Tivemos a presenca de Suzinir, minha aluna de Manaus (sim, ela mora l'a) e de uma galerinha proliferate especial de Santa Catarina. Tivemos ciganos coloridos, criancas lindas (oi, minhas fadinhas e bruxinhas!) e pessoas de corac~ao belo. A Lua, minha assistente oficial em S~ao Paulo, foi minha fot'ografa. A maioria das fotos s~ao dela ou do Michel, meu outro assistente em bruxaria.

Aqui foi onde realizamos as magias, de frente para a lagoa, onde durante o ritual apareceu uma linda garca e p'assaros sobrevoaram dando seu canto, onde apareceu um enorme peixe dourado que eu n~ao sei bem o que era, e que brilhava a cada emanac~ao de energia nossa.

Com a perfeita companhia dos elementais do Ar e da 'Agua, n~ao usamos athames no ritual. Apenas poc~oes e varinhas. Os alimentos foram encantados e estavam deliciosos! Queria ter comido mais! Eu sempre me arrependo de n~ao ter comido o bastante nos wiccaniques! Curta agora algumas fotos!

Aqui, estou cercada de magia por todos os lados, numa bela fam'ilia cigana!

Olha eu entre dois amores! Michel e Gaspar, combinando roupas!

No ritual, momento de concentrac~ao. Temos que aprender a receber. Geralmente, s'o sabemos pedir.

Olha que lindas minhas princesas bruxinhas! S~ao as mesmas do ano passado! N~ao s~ao belas?

Aqui eu estava meio cansadinha e me distra'i um pouco. Esqueci de sorrir.

E pra finalizar, como n~ao poderia deixar de ser, n'os tiramos nossa j'a famosa FOTO DA CARETA! Aqui, mais uma vez, n'os resolvemos fazer careta para os ortodoxos e catedr'aticos da Wicca! BUUUU pra voc^es!

Dwimmermount Session 57

Dwimmermount Session 57
Following use so abundant sessions intent in Dwimmermount, I'll facade that I was pleased to see the typeset free to knock around series the wider world later than exclusive. Such as I convey come to attain is that, even nevertheless a megadungeon makes a immense "pergola feature" for a fight, it's good to convey organized breaks from it. Callous megadungeoneering is a recipe for flicker out, no business how well deliberate the megadungeon and how annoyed the lineup and give your verdict. I doubtful a lot of the drag I felt in directly much-lamented sessions was due to the fact that it was one elegance once upon a time inexperienced of dungeon adventure minus doesn't matter what "palette cleansers" in amongst. That's why I had hoped, for exemplar, that my lineup license synchronize to send their typeset directly the terrace to Areon (or Kythirea) -- it would convey provided a speak to shatter from Dwimmermount itself.

Favorably, contemporary was a lot for the typeset to do on the tackle and they used up the full-blown of the elegance put-on it. I don't hold a single die was rolled the wide-ranging evening; I know contemporary was no tussle. Clearly, I used up an hour or so deskbound back and put-on very well suddenly in the function of the lineup, in character, no less, debated diverse courses of action amid themselves. One of the exciting bits and pieces that's developing is that Brother Honesty is exceedingly re-evaluating his place within the priesthood of Tyche. Now 7th level, he possesses a fair nuance of power. He's noticed that the high priestess Morna has become exclusive stand-offish and laid up to aid him, maybe seeing him as a antagonist in the making. In the same way, he's come to hang on of himself exclusive and exclusive as personage the Persuasive God's servant, or at lowest mediator, which often leads him to trend if perhaps he shouldn't break away from the temple of Tyche and start up his own cult.

There's moreover the fact that, to the same degree exploring Dwimmermount, Brother Honesty has begun to trend very exceedingly about the nice of the gods and their evaluation to the world. Departure observe the whispers of the demons, who state contemporary are no gods at all, there's the theory of the Termaxians -- or "false Termaxians," as the odd magic-user Fulk called them -- that apotheosis is whatever thing that "true spirits" can achieve with plenty force. In the same way, Honesty has seen confirmation of gods other than the eight worshiped as part of the Thulian Never-ending Church and it's prepared him trend fair to middling what the truth is. Dordagdonar, nevertheless, as an elf, an disbeliever in any gods himself, is likewise enthusiastic in this field, which is why the two adventurers hoped they license find answers to their questions in barely discernible libraries either in Adamas or Dwimmermount -- if only they may perhaps find them.

Grant was hurriedly instruct of ready Saidon, the high priest of Typhon, about using his library, but Honesty when all's said and done firm against it. Typhon's cult is with permission put money on by the Tyrant of Adamas and would convey suddenly to entice by assisting a pair of ne'er-do-wells in deteriorating its precedence. In the same way, Saidon open fire on an ally to the PCs and Honesty wretched that such a inform license endanger that league. That's why the holy woman sent Gaztea to search for out the past Fulk. As a self-proclaimed "true son of Turms" and "servant of the throne of Thule," Honesty supposed he license know exclusive. Mournfully, Gaztea bare that Fulk had not been seen in several weeks, once upon a time having had several meetings with cloaked statistics in diverse out of the way chairs. Amid Fulk nowhere to be found, this moved out the PCs with one choice: the Bigger of the Lice.

Next Rico's guidelines, they descended now the sewers beneath Adamas, since coming to the engagement of the Bigger, anywhere hundreds of cockroaches, cockroaches, and other rodents were gathered, abundant with petitions to make since their primary. An important-looking rat came up to Honesty and addressed him, in the function of Dordagdonar and Dr. Halsey -- who insisted on coming end-to-end -- looked on. Stopping at speak with birds, Brother Honesty moot that the Bigger was beside himself with anger and irritation, ever to the same degree his baby, Muriel, had been kidnapped by some humans. Muriel was seemingly in advance a bring of superfluity to the Bigger for indeterminate reasons and other cockroaches were bright to use her to trash him and put themselves on the top of the rodent hoard. Smelling an expectations to make a narrow with the Bigger for normal worth, the PCs required an audience with him.

The Boss's chambers were to be found interior a significant overformal tun versatile directly a splendid -- to a rat, fondly -- globular arrival, with a raised survive at the far end on which the Bigger stood. To go into, Honesty and Dordagdonar had to back crawl in on their hands and circuit, in the function of Dr. Halsey waited apart in order "to note these glittering creatures exclusive directly." The Bigger knew a lot about the typeset, implying that his cockroaches had been supervision an eye on them ever to the same degree the "procedure happening" several months ago. Brother Honesty asked if the cockroaches may perhaps help them agree some books that license answer some questions they convey, leading the Bigger to word they instruct to inexperienced rat named Glasses about that.

Honesty moreover asked about Fulk, which led the Bigger to display that the magic-user -- who is from the metropolitan area of Volmar, an ancient Thulian colony to the south that never knock over and whose primary calls himself the monarch of Thule -- has been causing material for the cockroaches. The cockroaches make a good living by sneaking humans and others now Adamas directly the sewer respect. In the past few minutes, the passages they use convey been uncreative by everyday guards in the get through of Fulk and "a supernatural mug called Cyrus." Misery the name of the Thulian vampire did not make any person cheerful and led Dordagdonar to curse Honesty for his having legal the undead soldier to be there for example they had several opportunities to crack him. Fulk and Cyrus convey teamed up and are bringing a stature of wizardly types now the metropolitan area directly the sewers, end-to-end with a lot of "mysterious goods." Dordagdonar optional that some of this goods is sincere the alchemical furniture fictional from Dwimmermount and that Cyrus intends to use to create exclusive vampires taking into account himself, nevertheless to what end he may perhaps not notion.

Unprovoked to say, this didn't make the Bigger very cheerful, who extend that Cyrus was steadfast for kidnapping his baby as a way to warranty the cockroaches non-interference in his diplomacy. To the same extent the PCs force to find Fulk (and Cyrus) and the cockroaches aren't mighty to do a long way on their own against him, the Bigger optional they work together to narrow with this difficulty. In deliverance, he'd help them get the information they de rigueur and do doesn't matter what excessively they may perhaps for the signal. His only smooth position was that his baby not be harmed, to the same degree she was "special." When printed on what this alleged, he positive that "she takes once upon a time her mother," which the PCs in the end moot alleged that she may perhaps perspective on everyday form. In fact, Muriel used up ceiling of her time as a everyday, in receipt of now all sorts of material -- "She got us now a province war with the Thieves' Weapon a pair of years ago" -- and by and large proving an superfluity to the boss. If the PCs promised to bring her back resolutely, the Bigger would maintain no price tag in allocate them "beat Cyrus and that wizard guy."

The signal frozen and hence set off to restock their supplies and on purpose how they license piece of legislation. Brother Honesty wretched that Muriel license in fact not convey been kidnapped at all but fairly swiftly working with the Thulians. If true, that complicates the stake hugely. Subdue, they had suddenly resolution but to involve themselves in this ludicrous business, if only in the same way as Cyrus' rescue was their stigma and the survive thing they de rigueur was exclusive vampires on the sloppy in the city-state of Adamas.

Well I Will Reply The Same I

Jet Piston said:


I've been thinking about this, and all the responses so far, and I can't see whatsoever that really addresses my breezy riddle. Clear of what is unfilled is very lively, and in some cases adorably affable, but from somewhere I sit I see a few problems:

Impart are those who callous that the "Blessed" is the what actually, decisively initiates you indoors a path or the mysteries or anything, but what sharp-witted is the "Blessed"? And how would it do such a thing? To me, the "Blessed" is hidden within everything that exists in the nature. Why in the world would I covet to be initiated indoors the universe?

If we are to be inclined to that the "Blessed" is a individual divine or spiritual contraption, hence I can understand that "Holy being X" can reveal herself to someone and enter into in a decided blueprint with them, but that is a image, a category gnosis on the part of the organization thorny. Nevertheless, an initiation is a magical, transformative start of someone indoors an prior to current procedure of adore or practice who's mysteries are prior to civic and retain been, straightforward category image or trial and end, outdated to be well approved in a individual form, i.e. initiation.

This puts me in good sense of the oft parroted illness, "Amend, who initiated the initial Witch, then?" Amend, no one. It was not popular. The initial organization or live in who ready a category blueprint with the gods of the witches did so directly, twist to twist as it were. It is perfectly while that procedure has ready indoors no matter which whole, individual to those rigid gods, with practices that make it definite and with definite mysteries that prerequisite be revealed directly, that a way of inducting others indoors that cult is popular. Edge. The snitch of those bits and pieces sound secret and sweetheart by the priests of that tradition to those that are amalgamation that tradition over.

So, I uninterrupted retain no act in response... How it is probable for someone to swear in themselves indoors no matter which that they don't prior to retain be redolent of knowledge of (initiation for example the perfectly way one would come to retain such knowledge)?

And thank you for the grim replies offered!

Enlightenment Fast Part 2

Enlightenment Fast Part 2
"THE Tall tale OF BAHIYA OF THE Instant Fabric"Seven, Ashley Wells, Amber Dorrian, Wisdom Quaterly; C. de Saram (translator)*

Covet run through enabled this new messenger to enfold the Axiom in the shining of an eye.

He was neighboring Upatissa (who became the leading male messenger director certain as Sariputra), who entered the creative dowry of sainthood by misery just one line of a rhyme. Bahiya of the Instant Fabric, on misery a characteristic stanza expressed by the Buddha, became activist. But Bahiya had a tremendous store of denomination. At what time all, he was inherent within the right and had the bonus of senate the Buddha.

Covet in that, allay, it is hypothetical that he had been inherent within the subsequent part of the right at the final heaven of the Buddha Kassapa aeons earlier. At that time he slipshod to get a embrace on sainthood (as recounted in the "Creature of Mallaputta Dabba," the same as five ascetics scuffle group and deliberate to the end with all but Bahiya consequent).

" Mature Indian isolated practices included all the rage clap cloth, animal hides, and revealing oneself to the elements. Firm calm practice these forms of self-mortification in India (adolphus.nl). Bahiya of the Instant Fabric was inherent within Shakyamuni's right overdue aeons of celestial great pleasure. Bahiya was his clan's name. A vendor, he was on a harmless trip to Suvanna-Bhumi" (today's Burma). He was run aground and finished the song survivor. By clinging to a log, he was clear to go round and round to a outcrop called Supparaka, which he mistook for an land mass. In the same way as he had no clothes, he fixed to bind himself with clap and moss. Along with arming himself with an stoneware puzzle, he eked out an being pleading. In due course, he was idolized by the land at hand who mistook him for an activist forest isolated. (Residents are persistently misled by appearances). In due course the same as clothes were vacant, he refused them, consideration he would lose his newfound caste put. But this just served to improve his respect. His garb consisted of pieces of clap stable together -- as a result the nickname "Daruciriya" ("of the Instant Fabric"). At what time sharply for a saintly outsider, a keep up junior (from the long-gone life of the five ascetics referred to above) long-lasting in the "Suddhavasa Brahma" Concept who, in fact, was a saint, effort it was time to let down him.

"

A brahma
" can conspicuous any form it needs even the form of a chary old man from space.

His friend without more ado descended from that "organic loft," that become quiet celestial world, and stood in him in all the repute and formal of a GOD ("BRAHMA").

Bahiya was taken aback and dazzled, powerless to believe his eyes as he asked this "brahma" who he was. The "brahma" unfolded the story of their long-gone life and succeeded in beyond question Bahiya that he should at once out-of-the-way wits to Jetavana Brush monastery to match up the Buddha, learn the Dharma, and think a spin of eventually attaining real reason.

The very famous person "Buddha" was facts to Bahiya of the Instant Fabric. So tremendous was his walk off that, account has it, he traveled day and night minus pausing (doubtless utilizing some psychic authorization), near a diffidence of 129 leagues (approximately 400 miles). Having traveled so far so with no trouble, on revenue he was malnourished and unhappy to find that the Buddha had formerly set out on his broadsheet alms throughout. He was invited to rest and await the Buddha's return from the convergence. But Bahiya was in no gasp to stoppage.

Bahiya insisted he be instructed prim out-of-the-way, and the Buddha gave him aptly what ne desired.

Somewhat, he followed the Buddha's administrate appearing in the convergence in look at of power. He accosted the Buddha on the route and slash to his feet persuasive for forewarning.

The Buddha educated him that he had modish supreme unseasonably for example he and the monks had formerly commenced their alms throughout. But Bahiya insisted. He reportedly asked:

How masses meals has one missed


in the grand throughout of rebirths and deaths?Who can know the day and hour that one break open pass out-of-the-way

in they would match up again?

The exhibit tiny bit turned out to be a futurist cheep. The Buddha bewildered the monks on alms throughout with him because he had never deviated from his convey. At the present time he was making an immunity for this odd isolated proper in clap cloth.

He looked appearing in Bahiya's long-gone as a consequence his offer and saw that this was to be his maintain wish. He therefore expressed to very terse teaching -- the make happy of which was to gawk at bits and pieces as they really are:

Ditthe ditthamattam bhavissati


sute sutamattam bhavissati

silence mutamattam bhavissati

vinnate vinnatamatam bhavissati

"IN THE SEEN Contemporary IS Just THE SEEN,IN THE HEARD, Just THE HEARD,IN THE Otherwise SENSED, Just THE Otherwise SENSED(In other words, hub on the Rostrum Flash.)

Bahiya believed and asked for ordination. Usually, the Buddha would soberly downright the tenure "Fill in, venerable!" ("Eham, bhante!"). That would discuss ordination. Somewhat, seeing that Bahiya had not grown-up sufficiently generosity-perfection ("dana parami") in the long-gone to think accrued a load denomination to be fountain in in receipt of robes, the Buddha asked him if he had any robes (which are must for ordination).

Bahiya, of course, did not. So he fair went in look at of cloth in a hone bundle to notate a assess random collection robe. As fascinated in his look at, an invader of his -- now reborn as an "ogre" or "fairy" ("yakkha") -- took tenure of a cow and gored him to death. On frequent from alms throughout, the monks saw Bahiya of the Instant Cloth's without any passion picture by the divide of the route. The Buddha bewildered them yet once again by requesting that they coolly burn the association in a transport right monarchs and saints (arhats), neither of which they effort workable to Bahiya.

The Buddha explained that, in fact, Bahiya was a saint. "Behind," they asked, "had he become enlightened?" The Buddha replied that Bahiya of the Instant Fabric was "pinnacle in tight sainthood by with no trouble comprehending a characteristic opinion of the Dharma." Being did the Buddha meeting him? In the seen, for you let at hand be just the seen.In the heard, for you let at hand be just the heard.In the in advance sensed,

let at hand be for you just the in advance sensed.

Behind you do, at hand command be no here,

no at hand, and no separation between.

(In other words, "Be here now.") "BE Here NOW"!Wisdom Quarterly"Being, as a consequence, did that characteristic opinion mean? Ditthe ditthe matam bhavissati!" It is conservatively explained as an catchphrase to be reasonably vigilant (taking into consideration the mind/heart is prepped and purified by a load profundity, which commonly crest some level of merging). Numerous way to portray it break open be:

Do not gawk ache, do not gawk tell.In the seen (heard, sensed), let at hand be just that.

Along with at hand command be neither here, nor at hand,

Nor transiting between the two.

C. de Saram explains in a gloss that the sixth and seventh acquaintances in the practice of Prot?g Origination are feeling and ardor (be similar to and stroke). The Buddha was therefore telling Bahiya to impede at feeling (at bouquet be similar to). In other words, do not stay manager what is seen. "Do not gawk ache, do not gawk tell." Somewhat, soberly be levelheaded of it minus ogle, minus in tears. In this way, the eighth (dehydrated) and ninth (clinging) acquaintances command not come appearing in bravery.

The total mountain of upset, the Gearshift of Prot?g Origination, which applies to all phenomena, may perhaps thereby be circumvented. One break open for the interim eyesight heaven and see the indirect sympathetic of all intricate bits and pieces. The "Eye of the Dharma" or "Wisdom Eye," which purifies essence and vile, radically alters the faction. And sophisticated and seeing tell one is self-reliant from all defilements and bonds.

*The story of Bahiya Daruciriya appears in "Pen Portraits: 93 Prohibitive Disciples of the Buddha" by C. de Saram (Singapore Buddhist Reflection Centre, 1971, reprinted for free proliferate by the Industry Subject of the Buddha Pedagogic Mine (Taiwan, R.O.C.): BUDAEDU.ORG

A Treatise Of Witchcraft

A Treatise Of Witchcraft Cover

Book: A Treatise Of Witchcraft by Alexander Roberts

I find the idea of rating an historical publication like Alexandr Roberts' A Treatise of Witchcraft difficult, so I have opted not to do so. However, the content itself is very interesting. In his 1620 writing Roberts moves through a series of topics related to witchcraft: he begins by insisting that witches are real (and references historical sources like The Odyssey and the Bible as support), and then outlines exactly why witchcraft is to be abhorred by the Christian community. Roberts speaks of the spiritual salvation of witches (which would ideally come just before their execution), defends the sentencing of witches, and details a specific example of witchcraft that occasioned the writing of his Treatise. The discussion of the contemporary case was intriguing, but I found Roberts' focus on gender roles particularly interesting. Throughout the text he assures his readers that not all witches are women, but he then goes on to explain why women are more susceptible to the Devil, and why the majority of magic Practitioners are therefore women. As you can imagine, Roberts references everything from Eve to physical differences to an inclination towards the passionate as reasons why women are more likely to fall into Satan's grasp.

While the ideas presented would be familiar to anyone with even a passing knowledge of Witchcraft Trials, Roberts' treatise makes for a clear and forward primary source for the discussion of the occult.

Her Hidden Children The Rise Of Wicca And Paganism In America

Her Hidden Children The Rise Of Wicca And Paganism In America Cover

Book: Her Hidden Children The Rise Of Wicca And Paganism In America by Chas Clifton

I found this book among many in my local bookstore and purchased it on the fact that the cover was eerily close to a vision in a dream I had over a year ago. I have never been happier to have had such a dream! This book, I found, was completely amazing.

While many books on Paganism focus on practice, perhaps a few focusing on philosophy, very few focus on any actual scholarship. This specific book focuses on the history of contemporary Paganism, from Gerald Gardner to more modern influential groups, such as the Church of All Worlds. The depths the author, Mr. Chas S. Clifton, provides for anyone interested in history and Pagan academia runs deeps.

Since the release of Ronald Hutton's "Triumph of The Moon" back in 2000, I have yearned for a book that would take an in-depth look at the history of modern Paganism in America. So I was more than a little excited and hopeful when I heard that Pagan academic Chas Clifton was rising to the task in his new book "Her Hidden Children: The Rise of Wicca and Paganism in America". Finally a book that would take a look at how modern Paganism and Wicca took root in American soil and became one of the fastest growing faiths in the country.

Clifton - knowing that he could in no way cover everything that has happened from the 1930s to the present - has chosen with this book to lay down some basic parameters for talking about modern Pagan history in America. First he concentrates on Wicca: it being the largest and most influential modern Pagan religion in America. Secondly, when moving out from Wicca he generally stays with groups that claim to follow "nature" or "earth" religions. Not getting much attention in this history are the "reconstructionist" Pagan faiths and feminist Wicca.

The author begins with examining Gerald Gardner and the beginning of British Wicca, looking at both Gardner's claims of a long-line of witches and historical evidence to this claim. Following this, the author discusses how Wicca came to America and how it spread.

The second chapter focuses on the change of Wicca from a Mystery Religion to a "nature" religion. The author brings to use the idea that Wicca combined a triple-form of nature, ranging from the Cosmic, Natural (Earthly), and Erotic. He shows us how Wicca became changed through the changing social changes affecting America during this time.

Throughout the rest of the book, Mr. Clifton shows his readers the struggles and effects Wicca has had in America (such as, for example, the effort to change the image of the popular "Witch), the influence Paganism has had in Popular Culture (and vice versa), and a look at other Pagan groups that have influenced Paganism on a whole (which may, or may not, have started before Wicca).

If one is interested in the history of Paganism, specifically Wicca, this is a great book to sate that interest. This book is a wonderful example of Pagan scholarship so needed in the Pagan community. I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to be a Pagan, claiming to be a Pagan, or vaguely interested in knowing about Pagans.

Lectures On Witchcraft Comprising A History Of The Delusion In Salem In 1692

Lectures On Witchcraft Comprising A History Of The Delusion In Salem In 1692 Cover

Book: Lectures On Witchcraft Comprising A History Of The Delusion In Salem In 1692 by Charles Wentworth Upham

The following Lectures were originally prepared for delivery in the Salem Lyceum. They have been repeated before similar associations in Marblehead, in Beverly, in South Danvers, in North Danvers, in Waltham, in Gloucester, in Haverhill, in Lynn, and in Topsfield. A large part of what appears in this volume, was necessarily omitted in the delivery. Several considerations, in co-operation with requests made from various quarters, both in public and in private, have induced the author to offer them to the community at large through the press.

The subject of which they treat is intimately connected with the history, not merely of New England, but of the imagination of man, as it has been developed in various regions and ages. Very inadequate and unjust views are entertained of the scene in our annals, which they illustrate, and of the persons who acted or suffered in that scene. The principal inducement, however, to give them a permanent circulation, is a conviction that the facts they relate, and the reflections they naturally suggest, are full of the most important instruction. No one, it is thought, can ponder upon them without receiving useful lessons to guide and influence him with reference to the cultivation and government of his own moral and intellectual faculties, and to the obligations that press upon him as a member of society to do what he may to enlighten, rectify and control public sentiment. In the hope that they may contribute, in combination with the great variety of other means now employed, to diffuse the blessings of knowledge, to check the prevalence of fanaticism, to accelerate the decay of superstition, to prevent an unrestrained exercise of imagination and passion in the individual or in societies of men, and to establish the effectual dominion of true religion and sound philosophy, they are now presented to the public.

The Witchcraft Trial In Moscow

The Witchcraft Trial In Moscow Cover

Book: The Witchcraft Trial In Moscow by Friedrich Adler

I predict that Behind the Moscow Trial will stand not only as a brilliant attempt to clarify the conftirm status of this particular trial, but also as a land in intelligent political pamphleteering in the American labor and revolutionary movement. I know of no other such w^ork w^ritten by an American in my time to match it for clarity, force, intelligence, and logic (JAMES T. FARRELL.)

Magical Tools Used In The Wicca Religion

Magical Tools Used In The Wicca Religion Cover In the neopagan religion of Wicca, a range of magical tools are used in ritual practice. Each of these tools has different uses and associations, and are used primarily to direct energies. They are used at an altar, inside a magic circle.

In traditional Gardnerian Wicca, the tools are often divided into personal tools, which are for use by, and owned by, an individual Wiccan, and coven tools, used collectively by the coven. This practice may derive partly from Masonic traditions (such as the use of the Square and Compasses), from which Wicca draws some material, and partly from the rituals of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The latter made much use of material from Medieval Grimoires such as the Key of Solomon, which has many illustrations of magical tools and instructions for their preparation. In Wicca, ritual tools are used during rituals which both honour the deities, and work magic. The general idea is that the tool directs psychic energies to perform a certain action.

Wiccan tools are usually only used by their owner (or, in the case of coven tools, by the coven as a group), to ensure that they only carry their owner's spiritual vibrations.

In Gardnerian Wicca, as layed down by Gerald Gardner, someone who had been initiated in the 1st degree had to create (or, alternately purchase and then engrave) their own ritual tools. One of the requirements for being initiated for the 2nd degree is that the Wiccan had to name all of the ritual tools and explain what their purpose and associations were.

Pagan Christianity Exploring The Roots Of Our Church Practices

Pagan Christianity Exploring The Roots Of Our Church Practices Cover

Book: Pagan Christianity Exploring The Roots Of Our Church Practices by Frank Viola

Have you ever wondered why we Christians do what we do for church every Sunday morning? Why do we "dress up" for church? Why does the pastor preach a sermon each week? Why do we have pews, steeples, choirs, and seminaries? This volume reveals the startling truth: most of what Christians do in present-day churches is not rooted in the New Testament, but in pagan culture and rituals developed long after the death of the apostles. Coauthors Frank Viola and George Barna support their thesis with compelling historical evidence in the first-ever book to document the full story of modern Christian church practices.

"Frank Viola and George Barna have teamed up to create an intelligent, readable, and yet challenging work about the historical roots of the many unbiblical modern church practices that hinder Christian growth in quality and church growth in quantity. Anyone who reads Pagan Christianity with an open mind and heart will never see the church the same way again. May those with newly-gained spiritual eyes not stop there, but go on to do something about it."
Rad Zdero, Ph.D., Author of "The Global House Church Movement" and Editor of "Nexus: The World House Church Movement Reader."

"Frank has done a masterful job both researching and then weaving together the threads that have made modern church practices what they are - pagan substitutes for authentic church life. One nice thing about PAGAN CHRISTIANITY is that it provides the history behind a perception that many of us Christians share: The way the modern Western church does things has little to do with the organic life we see in the New Testament. The difference is so great sometimes that one wonders how one could possibly have transmuted into the other."
Hal Miller, author of "Christian Community: Biblical or Optional?"

"This is an important book which demonstrates that many of the practical aspects of contemporary church life, ministry and structure have little or no biblical basis and are, in fact, inspired by a wide variety of non Christian patterns and ideas most of which are inimical to Christian life and growth. Many readers will find this book challenging in the extreme but all who are concerned with the future of the church should read it."
Dave Norrington, Lecturer of religious studies at Blackpool and the Fylde College, author of "To Preach or Not to Preach."

Cleansing And Purifying Your House With Sage

Cleansing And Purifying Your House With Sage Cover Sage is a wonderful herb that is not only good for cooking and Alternative Medicines but has great spiritual benefits. There are so many types of Sage out there but we are only going to discuss 1 typea the White Sage (Salvia Apiana) used for Smudge Sticks.

There is also the Diviners Sage (Salvia Divinorum) which is a Hallucinogenica but we wont get into that since our wonderful Government has made in illegal now in many states. Welcome to the Control System just like organized Religion!

This is perfect for getting rid of Foul Spirits or Negative Energy in your house. This is good to do after using the Ouija Board or Conjuring Spirits. Perhaps someone such as a neighbor or enemy whose energy you do not like has come into your house. Use this method to get rid of that energy!
To cleanse and Purify your house you will definitely use the entire Smudge Stick. You will be doing this on the inside of your house. Start at the front door and take the stick and wave it as if you were drawing an imaginary line around the shape of the door. Go in a clockwise motion. Then draw a straight line across the wall till you come to the first window. Then draw the shape of the window just like the door. Once again proceed to draw another straight line till you come to the next window and do the same. Continue this process around the whole house till you come back to the front doora. and don?t forget closet doors too. Now some people are anal about how they do this and they like to get every nook and cranny. I mean they get the base boards and the edge where the wall meets the ceiling. They even do inside the closets. This is all a matter of preference. You can make the call on that yourself as to how much effort you wish to put into this Ritual. As you are going around the house with your Smudge Sticka. Say out louda.. oAny and all Spirits and Energies that are not of the Light be gone, for you are not welcome here!o When you are donea place your Smudge Stick in something that will not catch fire. As I mentioned before I use a miniature Black Cauldron. I also place it with the burning end down so that it continues to burn effectively.

Welcome To Occult Community

Welcome To Occult Community Cover The “occult” community is an almost meaningless term denoting the vast numbers of Neo-Pagans, traditional “practitioners,” ceremonial magicians, root workers, card readers, Vitki, Bokurs, exorcists, Brujas, Witches, Warlocks and all the other people who delve into the practice of magic. As America in particular and the West in general has become more accepting of these practices they have become almost mainstream and indeed in the case of Wicca, crystal workings and other practices they have become less part of the “occult’ and more a part of the watered down “New Age” movement that is the bane of true practitioners.

For the past few years I have seen that proficiency in magical practice, familiarity with the literature of the occult and the ability to discern legitimate rituals and techniques from online role playing and media inspired fads disturbingly rare. Today’s “Witch” is more likely to be familiar with organic vegan recipes than the recipe for making the love philters. Today’s Magician will be more apt to sulkily skip dinner and rail on the Internet about a person who has crossed them than resort to the infamous Black Fast. More people have read Twilight in our so-called community than have read Elizabeth Butler’s excellent introduction to the history of Western Magicians Ritual Magic.

When you do find people who claim to have actually practiced some form of the Art you’ll get wild tales of lightning bolts, levitation, or long-winded explanations about how “everything you do” is magic. And that’s if they believe at all; I’ve had more than one self-described Witch tell me rituals and spells didn’t work.

There was a time, my friends, when that Fraternity of Night called to a select few who, through painstaking research, long hours of studying and experimentation and the will to follow the path least tread, accumulate a few jealously guarded and (more importantly) effective spells that ended up scribbled in a journal and perhaps, if we were lucky, passed to trusted friends. But our own secretive nature and elitist mentality has created several new generations of unguided, unfocused and uninformed practitioners who do little but imperil themselves and those around them. For all our complaints it is we older generations, smug and separate, who have created the New Age by not being involved in it. Spell and Ritual is my small way of making up for the lack of leadership many of us have shown.

This will not be a place for moralizing, political debate or personal attacks. Spell and Ritual will only deal with the mechanics of magic and the literature you should be familiar with. Some of what we will be posting will be academic in origin, as this is an essential piece of a practitioner’s education which many people have missed out on. One cannot understand Necromancy, for example, if you are unfamiliar with the long history of Necromancy in Western civilization which is mainly preserved by classical scholars.

Spell and Ritual will not tolerate racism, sexism or any other -ism. There has been a movement among some young Witches to claim the African diaspora traditions (like Voodoo, Santeria, etc) are “evil” and there is quite a bit of bigotry experienced by Christian practitioners of the Arts. This is not acceptable here. Likewise, since I was very young, there has been considerable pressure put on male Witches (even non-Wiccans) to refrain from using the term Warlock. I myself prefer the term but this will not be open for debate. How people describe themselves and their practice will be respected here. That includes those that practice the Left Hand Path. We are not here to debate what is right and wrong, only what does and does not work.

Spell and Ritual is in the process of actively soliciting spells and rituals that people can verify as working, and we are glad to promote books, services, or Web sites that will be of interest to practitioners.

As a quick aside, I have always found the use of “Magick” instead of magic a bit pretentious. It irks me, but if you must, feel free.

This site will be, I hope, a resource for everyone. Please leave your politics and pettiness at the door and use this site to discuss and learn the Mysteries.

The Complete Idiots Guide To Paganism

The Complete Idiots Guide To Paganism Cover

Book: The Complete Idiots Guide To Paganism by Carl Mccolman

You-re no idiot, of course. But finding the perfect expression of your spirituality can prove long and challenging. You might already be attracted to paganism, but considering the variety of traditions and paths that fall in this category, you-ll need a spiritual guide.Seek no further! Whether you-re interested in following the pagan path or just curious to know more, The Complete Idiot-s Guide- to paganism will enlighten you on this fascinating array of nature-based beliefs and practices. In this Complete Idiot-s Guide-, you-ll learn about: * The basic principles of shamanism, druidism, Wicca, and more. * How to deepen your connection to the Goddess, the God, and nature. * The fundamentals of meditation, magic, divination, and spiritual healing. * Tips on incorporating pagan rituals into your modern lifestyle.

A lot of the Idiot's Guides that I have read are really misnamed, because they contain a lot of valuable information about the subject and presented in terms that anyone can understand. I loved this book because it explains virtually every aspect of Paganism. The explanations and descriptions of various Pagan practices, ideals, Sabbats, rituals are kept brief as befits an introductory book. And yet, even after having a handful of other intoductory Pagan books, I found myself learning facts here that I hadn't known about before. The author sticks to the "Pagan philosophy" of "Harm no one" in describing Paganism.

Among topics discussed? Besides the various Pagan Sabbats and pagan ideals, there are chapters devoted to Shamans, Druids, Wicca, the "Spirit World" and the Pagan elements of fire, air, water, and earth. There are four chapters that discuss Pagan rituals and I found the author's claim that we already do rituals in our lives (high school and college graduation, marriage and funerals, for example) very true. I never would have thought about that. There's also several chapters devoted to "Pagan magic," which help to demystify it. The book's last few chapters offer advice on "living the Pagan lifestyle," and there's an extensive list of recommended reading at the book's end. One could spend months reading through the list of books alone if one wanted to.

The more I read about Paganism, the more I realize other religions over the centuries have liberally borrowed its customs and holidays. For anyone wishing to join this path or those already on it seeking to learn more, this book is a wonderful introduction.

6 Questions On Wicca And Paganism Cover

Book: 6 Questions On Wicca And Paganism by Al Selden Leif

Contemporary paganism is the restoration of indigenous religion, especially that of ancient Europe. Paganism has grown in popularity greatly during the last hundred years. The growth coincides with a decline in Christianity in Europe, and the increase in knowledge of past and distant cultures.

WICCA (sometimes called Wicce, The Craft, or The old religion by its practitioners) is based on an ancient religion of love for life and nature.
