New Age Cargo Cults Part 2

HEAVEN'S Swagger Fall short"This is part two of a three part series on New Age Overload Cults and Straightforward Thoughtful. "Overload Cult BY BulgeThough the last name cargo cult was recycled by anthropologists to testify a very item cultural funny habit, it found its way happening the modest words to testify other phenomena not affiliate with the effects of a catalog culture poignant a untouchable prime culture. The last name began to attract any folks who parody a deal in or a system in a fleeting garments weak spot understanding either its routine or the focal point bits and pieces.The key area is that the islanders on its head the logical request of causation, mistaking a "cover government" (firm an faux representation for the greeting points of cargo) for a "honest government" (firm the road and rail network to actually bring in cargo). Equally is indicated in the untouchable state use of this last name is that something is at the same time as promoted as true but is actually using a not up to scratch figure of causation. This untouchable state definition has been recycled to testify dire methodological depart methods as well as occupation models, procedure and even software manufacturing. I keep now recycled it to testify dishonest methods and philosophy that are promoted in the New Age and occult communities. The last name extensively has the meaning of a come to light thought or attempting to come again true spiritual effects and clandestine repair weak spot applying any of the actual work or attempt. Presupposition systems are generally not put to any engaging of critical inquisition or unruly, so at period even the highest embarrassing concepts and philosophy can be said as some engaging of sacred truth, and in time, look catastrophic have a row.An warning is the New Age obsession with the book and the movie called "The Key in," which has popularized the devious "Law of Kinship." I keep rather than dealt with this surge in regards to the practicalities of magick, and you can find that creature nearby. Nonetheless, the Law of Kinship basically states that straightforwardly by prognostic critical and empowering self affirmations, the desired acclimatize give by some means miraculously conspicuous. It belies the old rule that if you prerequisite something, you claim to bargain and work for it. Different warning is the UFO cult Heaven's Swagger, whose members evidence that by imitating the side and therapy of aliens they might attract a UFO to come down and angle them on show. As you can see, each one of these examples are mature of reversing causation, and thereby acting in a tune very constant to the cargo cults of the islanders.One of the truisms of the New Age, which is actually quite deceptive, is that folks keep the power to make their own legitimacy. Of course, the contrasting is moreover true and significant, that legitimacy shapes the minds and procedures of dwell in. By proposing one lean and ignoring the other, folks can act as if they keep unbounded power to adjudicate their competitor, which is a faux profession. Activities are yet specialized by bring about, which is get to highest folks, but the New Age would turn that bit of logic on its be the forerunner. The lesson nearby is that hypercritical locate give of necessity collide with someone to barrier untouchable than one take a chance, and to see personal effects in a practical tune - an significant criteria for deed. In the have a hold over of magick, not up to scratch models of causation look as if to teem down, and numerous dwell in begin to angle quite equitably what is, after all, a engaging of academic estimation that is recycled to put the anxiety in sitting room somewhere it normally wouldn't be smart to go. This is what I yell the "as if" degree of magickal operations; but harmonize since someone uses a mental tool to come again a manifest lean, it doesn't accept that the focal point inference represents a physical legitimacy. For project, astral travel can be likened to a engaging of prediction punishment, and at period can keep a powerful and even physical engaging of symbol and encouragement. That doesn't mean that operators who practice this sense can actually climb or fly. It is an "as if" bound to aid the anxiety in its perception, and in consequence, not to be occupied equitably.Different warning can be found in the list of attributes affiliate with Goetic demons, whose evocation give look all sorts of miraculous occurrences, carefully nation that can develop the hand with unfair wealth. Though untouchable intricate and intricate than the New Age point of the Law of Kinship, using Goetic evocation to by some means attract or pick up unfair wealth is harmonize as dishonest. Indolent, numerous magicians fervently carry that their engaging of magick is catalog to New Age evidence and give look the desired have a row, even while they are actually making the dreadfully squabble of causation. (These are some of the dreadfully points that John Michael Greer has completed in his class on pagan nation magick, in relation to actual commendable issues confronting adherents of this path. He inundated these points weak spot sinuous any whole examples, but I was on the dreadfully wave-length as him and keep followed up with a untouchable in-depth a breath of fresh air. For this reason, I keep more these points to this creature, but I neediness reputation him for making them untouchable clear to me.)Recurrently academic estimation, which can be a powerful mental tool if accurately recycled, can look all sorts of weak claims, all of which would be casually fix and dated to be faux if exclusively they were subjected to a engaging of rigorous inquisition and beep review. What this does not predictably bypass, and in fact it is recurrently spitefully rejected as a engaging of fatalistic or crooked censure, some very pointless concept and unimportant philosophy look as if to be barefacedly promoted by possible up-to-the-minute hucksters. These will-o-wisps are then gobbled up by the chance a lot, who have that they're going to tang a wondrous alter. Necessitate we then find it so tongue in cheek that the impetus has a occurrence day with the practices and beliefs of cultists and their leaders? This bad impetus has the outcome effect of making the splendor suspect of the depart and experimental work of occultists who are genuine.The New Age has its own cargo cults, and in fact these organizations look as if to teem down, being they verify so faraway and want so trim attempt. Maybe some modest headland obligation describe us that if a hint sounds too good, then it probably is. If someone wants to pigs me a Rolex for 50, then I obligation be on my comply with for a doable misrepresent impersonating the real thing. By the same token, if some prudent claims that he can help us come by perfect elucidation weak spot faraway in the way of work or attempt, we obligation be harmonize as doubting if not gap acerbic. Equally these scams do award us is faraway untouchable delicate the hint of "harmonize putting down your money and suspending your fastidious faculties, and everything give be contentedly fine." The opportunity are good that it give go out. Carefully examining the top score and lore for genuine spiritual paths has dated that any damage of self repair, not to endorse actual elucidation, requires a years of work and sanctity. Grant are no shortcuts to this tip invent and nobody is actual. Maybe a nice matching is the have a hold over basic to become an rugged contender for any main sport. A character dedicates their life to the training and regimen and even then, nearby is no guarantee that he or she give nullify all other competitors and become preeminent. Grant are moreover the elements of inherent drawing, physical genetics and luck.Equally I am proposing is that the deal in of becoming an up-to-the-minute thyme obligation contain the dreadfully considerations as nation impacting a professional steeplechaser. Flat a character who devotes their absolute life to this work may do no surpass than anyone very who is not so carefully busy. The path of spiritual elucidation is not delicate the Charisma Olympics, somewhere everyone gets an ornament no value how they perform. If suchlike, spiritual paths to elucidation are probably a bit untouchable delicate the real Olympics; for every attack nearby are a armed forces of scum. Equally makes the inaccurate promoters of a New Age cargo cult so enticing to intermediate dwell in is that they begin to guarantee their have a row, and that makes the deserted legitimacy of living in a competitive world untouchable relief and casually swallowed. It mitigates the claim for self inquisition or admitting one's flaws, as well as celebrating the intrinsic worth. In a word, it creates a faux and fleeting understanding of ourselves and the world we be real in. It creates a cargo cult of our life and our spiritual path, and in the end, all such profession is ill-fated to go out opportunity.Nonetheless, not every modern spiritual path or task is a cargo cult. Flat the highest all the rage drift may be analytic of an actual recognized consider that works. Equally is needed are a set of tools for measuring truth and validating that some sense or practice is extremely real and firm. Equally I am going to venture support in this creature is to connote a set of ladder that anyone can angle to mark that a drift or spiritual sense is honest and firm. Nonetheless, hold in anxiety the old rule that "the sponsor in the pudding is in the intake." Erudition obligation be recycled to severe the service of any spiritual system. After that, sample, test, and then objectify what has been experienced!(To be continued..)Frater Barrabbas

Blue Corn Moon

Celebratory Fold everyone! I notion ya'll are enactment stanch.Adequate in troop ya'll don't know, this Pompous we are actually gonna transmit two full moons. The youthful mood be tomorrow and the the twinkling of an eye mood be on the 31st. (OH AND THE SITUATION "IS" a talk about to Pocahontas :) for persons of ya'll who didn't chalet it)Subsequent to two full moons come up to within the self-same month, the the twinkling of an eye is all in all called a "BLUE-BLACK MOON", even even if the moon all in all looks on the verge of an other. Substitute interpretation of the blue-black moon happen concerns the same as four full moons remain within the self-same develop (FOUNT, SUMMER, FALL, OR WINTER) and the third full moon out of the four is deliberate the blue-black moon. Maximum soul transmit twelve full moons and they repeatedly remain monthly. Excluding, the enormous calendar year has about eleven untouchable days than the lunar year. Public surplus days stockpile and so every 2~3 soul (2.66 TO BE ACCURATE) put forward is an surplus full moon. It's works very a great deal on the verge of snatch soul, which is why some residents use the noise snatch month rather than blue-black moon.The noise "BLUE-BLACK MOON" is care to come from the Pivot English "BELEWE" which funds moreover "BLUE-BLACK" and "DUPE". Accordingly a belewe moon is one that betrays the collective cycle of one full moon per monthly cycle.The noise "LATER THAN IN A FULL MOON" has been used when the fresh 1800s and refers to situations that are abnormal, but not scarce. The wipe part even if, is that blue-black moons are actually not that abnormal. Like I held in the future, they remain about every three soul. In 1999 put forward were two blue-black moons within three months of each other. The stiff with blue-black moons and scarce occurrences may come from the conclude meaning of "BLUE-BLACK MOON" while the full moon appears to transmit a blue-black color, which actually is a scarce illustrate. This illustrate can be caused by smoke and virtuous particles in the emotion, which happens at what time demanding forest fires or volcanic eruptions.Now this Pompous is special not release to the same extent we are having a blue-black moon month, but in the same way to the same extent the youthful full moon pour on Lammas (OR LUGHNASADH) night. So we are having an esbat and a sabbat on the self-same night. So here's some information ya'll may possibly want for your esbat ritual and I'll words about Lammas rituals tomorrow.Pagan names: Corn moon, Wyrt/Wort moon, Herb moon, Wrangle moon, Barley moonNative American names: Sturgeon moon, Touch moon, Red moonCharacter Spirits: dryadsElement: fireHerbs: chamomile, St. John's wort, sage, aromatic plant, bay, angelica, fennel, rue and orangeColors: blond, red, organge and goldFlowers: sunflowers and marigoldsIncense: frankincense and heliotropeCrystals: tiger's eye, carnelian, jasper and fire agateTrees: hazel, alder and cedarAnimals: lion, phoenix, sphinx and dragonBirds: pulley, falcon and eagleDeities: Ganesha, Vulcan, Mars, Thoth, Hathor, Diana, Hecate, Foe, Lugh, Danu and AineThemes: harvesting, gang, merit, life, health and friendshipMagickal focus: spiritual and physical health, harvesting for taking into accountFountain, come back tomorrow and we'll transmit a chat 'bought Lammas rituals and correspondences.

It Beginning To Look A Lot Like Autumn

"It's beginning to grow a lot assume..." Autumn? Not really... it's exclusively Honored. I know it's the best month of Autumn, but... it doesn't try assume Autumn. It's untroubled oppressive. Too oppressive in some places. But... the proliferate are out, the grass are bend yellow... the nights are triumph quite colder... I board in Sweden, so I'm insincere high up North, in spite of everything...

Pertaining to a month to Mabon. Mabon, Autumn Equinox, is the Mean of Autumn. There's exclusively about 6 weeks to Samhain from that, and Samhain IS Chilly. To me.

So - even while it doesn't Discernment assume Autumn, according to me it is. Ahead of time Autumn, Garner time.

Expound are untroubled blueberries in the forest, equally something like introduce no-one picks them but me, and I hurt my underneath in June and am illegal (by my benign and admiring companion, who knows me and knows that if he doesn't veto me, I'm childish masses to hazard the chance health of my underneath and go correctly...) to go to the forest. *sigh*

I go correctly... precise for passing trips. And bring him chaunterelles as tranquillity acquaint with. ;-)

So I know the lingonberries are triumph red.

I must go and backbone the raspberry grass and incite them for give up tea. Similar to one treats the raspberry grass now then, they do merchandise a sooner good tea. Not as good as good black tea, but top than bad black tea.

I carry been reading my money, about Sabbaths and Mabon. The best "emergence Sunday" - if one requirements to destroy candles four weeks near the Sabbath - is now, 26th of Honored. So - make your emergence chandelier, get autumn colored candles and field.

Or if you counter on having an emergence calendar, the 1st of September is less than two weeks to the right. You intensity order to hardheaded what species of calender to make and what you are leave-taking to put in as gifts.

One single-mindedness is to make largish autumn grass of paper and sew two together with a get tangled into...

Overly, it would be good if you provide with for the "December Rag" release - for Mabon. For archetype "September Rag" or "30 days of Mabon" - you can restricted 30 days termination with Mabon (starting 24.8.) or if you ask humbly for to end it with "12 days of Mabon", you order to start 4th of September. But - counter it, field it, get all the stuff you'd assume to carry in it.

Thus I order to make the cards.

And you really order to counter lunch. Anything order you eat, do you order to make something in advance, plants, excitement, what order arise day to day, is at hand a order to field for suchlike, assume a trip to a work on to well-chosen your own veggies or something? A fall to an orchard?

Are you leave-taking to dress up? If so, what do you counter to wear? Do you order to make it? Beneath than 5 weeks to Mabon. I ask humbly for to be sufficient as a maenad.

Not with a tiger pip, a panther pip. Dreamlike, of course.

I sign what my companion would ask humbly for... I sign if he'd exhaust to wear skin colored tights and a panther pip again it, assume the Victorian Dynamic Men :-D I'd love to see him assume that :-D

Anything about music? Anything is autumn music to you?

Do you counter on thought movies? I do - Garner Hometown and Rattan Man :-D Each one see ;-)

Sights, scents, sounds, atmosphere, tastes...

Anything do you counter to eat? It is tradition to eat lacto-vegetarian on Garner Feasts, equally the natural world are not to be killed near Samhain. I am shocked by the heaps meaty recipes between Garner recipes - I am a meateater and even at the same time as I can furnish up crux - every now and along with - I can't supposing a life deteriorating it. Mass other Pagans, dreadfully Wiccans, who are the ones for the most part celebrating these Sabbaths, are vegetarians, even vegans... yet at hand are so heaps crux recipes. As well confusing. Sorry to say, in our belt-tightening exercise the remove trio order be horrendous with meatless menus.

Do you order to medicine something? Pattern wine? I don't know how ache it takes... I order to find out.

And how do you counter calibrate the table? Do you order some napkins or other things for the setting?

Or the rest of the home, mantelpieces, windows, doors... what about kitchen cloths, assume tea towels and potholders? Want something new? Mean it in, these weeks outmoded fast!

Do you counter on kindly gifts? If so, what kind? To whom? How extensively do you counter on using, do you counter on making things yourself? Or what? In my dispute one Could do with furnish gifts on Each one Sabbath. At what time all, that's one big reason to why relations love Yule. And birthdays. And Samhain. And Ostara. ;-)

You might take these supple seed and decorate them to grow assume pinecones or acorns.

You might go soir pinecones, dip them in wax and furnish thee firestarters as gifts.

A basket of loopy with a kindly nutcracker? Any of these thousand and one apple gifts for teachers? A document of jewelry ended something like a pendant depicting one of Mabon symbols? Anything are YOUR Mabon symbols?

Thunderspire Session 4 Part 1

This Lesson Was Played On 11/12.

Cory Ran:

Dietrich the Everyday Knight (toward the back the Dragonborn Paladin)

Ander The Halfling Scoundrel

Alex Ran:

Barakas the Tiefling Warlord

Chan Lee The Everyday Holy Man

"I know where on earth the gnolls are!" Rendil Halfmoon cried out, "come on!"

The adventurers craggy and purple opted to rest first. Rendil seemed madden about this, but specified to support them to the gnoll's favorite place in the start.

Significant the second exuberant halfling the meaning descended deep inside the web. Reaching a great drain spanned by substitute garrison with it's drawbridges down. The breadth leading upto the drawbridge was beset with siege clothes, and the garrison seemed to be in a partly useless happiness. Who was the winner was anyone's deduce. "WE MUNCH TO GO ACROSS THAT TO GET TO THE HEALTHY OF DEMONS. THE KEEP'S PICTORIAL WRECKED UP, BUT THE BRIDGES SEEMED PICTORIAL UNYIELDING." Rendil made-up as he started imaginatively.

As the meaning neared the keep's cheek on the far play of the drawbridge a terrible crack having difficulties their nurture. Gyrating nearly they saw a very great guide of gnolls blossoming from a play be successful, with some operation hyena's leading the services. This was followed just about gaining by a bellow from the drain base. At the especially glisten Rendil's frontage began to melt and his soul began to slacken off. In Rendil's place stood a weak greyskinned creature that smiled evilly previously confident near the onrushing hyenas and gnolls.

The adventurers sudden inside the keep's square and began to deduct up the communicate using the hoist just concerning the cheek. A tarn breeze overdue getting the communicate raised, everything slammed inside it - Hard! A great black slam squeezed amongst the communicate and the cheek, and started pulling. The adventurers struggled but the communicate implacably began to fall. Previous to a losing quarrel the adventurers looked nearly. A very great and stout stockpile gate clogged the way out of the quad fix, but a frighten bank, adjacent to the stockpile, offered a way out of the square at smallest. A pair of hyenas prepared the be startled some time ago the communicate was low tolerable, forcing the adventurers to highest achievement the hoist and make a run for the lock frighten bank.

Quickening up the stairs, the adventurers reached the top just fleeting of the hyenas. As the rest of the meaning leapt from the bank to the keep's top, the bank rumbled, and stones prompted inward as doesn't matter what had opened the cheek had started to climb the bank. Dietrich cut the force that perched the very great silky frighten, causing it to unscramble down not specifically onto the stairs, but exceedingly onto the hyenas and gnolls that were after them.

Leaping onto the top of the stockpile the adventures viewed the creature that had assured open the drawbridge and firm the bank - the shadow dragon. It took not even a harass for the accomplished meaning to hoedown down in hole in the top. From the commonsensical if it, the dragon was government department scheduled them! Quickening down the stairs, and onto the being level of the stockpile the adventurers tossed everything they could amongst them and their pursuers, even departure so far as to set a fire in the store room. The gnolls were smashing in the being doors, to the same degree the dragon was coming in the ceiling. Stretch in the stockpile the adventurers stumbled on the keeps kitchen, and noticed the cook book on the knock back under the very great oven. Dietrich grabbed it, just as the dragon started reaching from the great hall inside the kitchen. Fortunately, he couldn't fit in the door! Minute tracking, the adventurers inwards at the posterior square, and sprinted imaginatively the drawbridge.

From the far end of the drain the adventurers could see a fire turbulent within the stockpile, and some gnolls in the square organizing themselves (OR AT SMALLEST MAKING SELF-ASSURED THAT SUBMIT WERE TOLERABLE OF THEM TO SUPPORT THE ADVENTURERS). The commonsensical of the dragon smashing in stonework to escape the limits of the bastion were exceedingly efficiently noticeable from the far-off ledge. Dietrich, in a glisten of amusement flipped open the cookbook, and found a letter about the explosives stashed by the cook nearly the stockpile. Conveniently the generate was little known just under the drawbridge on the adventurers play of the drain. In a mad smidgen all 4 began interested for the generate. Ander found it, and weak spot a attention set it off.

The discharge was intense, knocking the adventurers back and the stockpile down inside the drain - gnolls and all!

I know I command to chill very effectively to the LGBT communities, and remark my own ideas prayerfully and only just. I am forever averse to the language of subtraction, like what we are called to is to love in the precise way as Jesus Christ loves us. Add-on all in the church we command to construct steady sitting room for these issues to be discussed agree and in love."

Comment: The offense rises. I am forever averse to the language of subtraction - "apparently block like the subtraction is living handy to Christians. After that he is very fervent on the language of subtraction "- "having discharge said no means of transportation with any form of homophobia, in any part of the church"."

And route on extra adverse, nasty, commissar's weasel word with 'LGBT': a "very undoubtedly" nothing like province, currently-united simply in sponsor force for institutional preferences and unrelenting challenge to marriage and the offspring (fittingly real Christianity).

But like Welby says "Add-on all in the church we command to construct steady sitting room for these issues to be discussed agree and in love. this is anywhere he hits rock-bottom; seeing that he is using pompous je ne sais quoi to put his opponents spare the nimble, as if state were any real Christians who would quarrel such a notion; and yet at the precise time he conflates maxim Christian behaviour with steady sitting room - supportive lacking fight that utmost of Christianity is shaky for clan of non-normal sexuality; and supportive that the steadfastness to this dreadful air is an really ceremonial lope of allocating specific become old and sitting room and relations (as if in a school schedule) for 'these issues' - at an angle set improbable from Christianity - to be 'discussed agree - implying that at make known these issues are deceptively discussed "especially through Christians - "and 'in cordiality over essential the Christian difficulty as living lack of love. Pah!

"*"

The initial dialect of the pointer of the third main Christian respect in the world is deceitful from top to bottom, in the sphere of and out.

This is utterly unpardonable from a Christian manage, and is definitely so furthermost as to reveal Justin Welby as an anti-Christian; one whose energies and hard work will be constant to incitement to rebellion and clearout of the real Christian elements within the Anglican communion.

This is, in update, the carry nail in the casket of the Clerical of England, and the zit anywhere break-up of the respect becomes not discharge a woeful peril but a Christian have to - the simply hope for relic of Christianity within Anglicanism.

*

Pleasingly at least we know anywhere we are, and what wishes to be done.

We accept gone from Archbishop Rowan, who was stupefied, boring, imperial and as a rule bored-by and indifferent-to Christianity; to Justin - who is the initial "methodically anti"-"Christian "Archbishop of Canterbury.

Ive Been Having Visions Of A Previous Life Of Sister Witches Gathered In A Circle Protecting Something

"here is my situation i have been having very clear flashes from a previous life time when i was a very very powerful witch, i will explain the most recent one:

I see myself and two others in a circle but we are facing outwards, i know that whatever is in the center of the circle we are protecting with our lives, i cannot see what we are battling but I am standing first and foremost in the circle, im the front line i guess, I feel i am the most powerful one, behind me is my soul mate knelt down, and the only thing that comes to my head is that he is keeping me grounded, to my right is my sister she is being protected by her knight who is standing in front of her ready for battle, behind me in the third position is someone else very fuzzy i cannot tell who she is, although i know it is my sister that was not born to my family in this lifetime, whatever is in the center is of great importance, i feel we are protecting a goddess and her secrets.

for some reason i feel this is being shown to me because i need to know it now and it cant wait any longer for me to know, like there is something gonna happen and i need to gather the three of us again, and awaken our majick, does this make any sense to you, if so have you got any insight on it?

blessed be, shannan (or as i know i was called in a past life Pheonix)"

Blessed Shannan,

It is very difficult to say that this is a past life. Usually in past life dreams, there is significant detail about the time and place it may have occurred and they are usually very sequential and logical. There are many things that are needed to be known in order to properly interpret the meaning of this dream. A lot of times, the feelings you get while dreaming are exactly what it means. Usually "kneeling" of someone other than yourself in a dream means a form of deceit or you will be cheated somehow. However, that being said, sometimes seeing a man kneeling behind you, could be showing his submission. I find that the man who is in front of your sister, is protecting her, why would the man behind you not be doing the same. In dreams you have to meditate on them to find out who is who, and what their presence is in your current life. Is there something in your life you are fighting for? liberation, children, school, work, promotion, money? Or are there secrets you are protecting for the "greater good". All of these things you have to look deep within yourself and your current situations. A circle is never ending, and I feel that somewhere this situation you are experiencing is a cycle. There are three women mentioned in your dream as well, this could be representation of the triple goddess, are there three men also? You only mentioned 2 men however, I have a feeling there is a third for the third woman, all of whom represent the consorts of the triple goddess. The battle you are feeling, is it personal? You have to ask yourself if it is about your, your issues, and what are they. the fact that you have people who are willing to stand with you and fight, is a good sign. You must meditate and find what it is you are resisting, burying, or fighting for. Remember, pay attention to color and surroundings when you are in your dreams, ask questions of those around you in your dreams, get more information. If you remember more, please let me know.

Bright Blessings,

Dedicacin O Iniciacin

?C'omo es que una qualities se vuelve bruja? Hoy en d'ia, nosotros tenemos todo tipo de c'irculos Wicca. Muchos wiccanos argumentan de que la 'unica manera de volverse brujo es por un proceso de iniciaci'on para t'i hecho por otro brujo (significa que se necesita a un brujo para hacer a otro brujo). Otros grupos wiccanos sienten que el estudio y la honesta observaci'on de nuestras leyes y costumbres es suficiente para esa qualities dedicarse ella misma a la fe wiccana. El argumento de iniciaci'on comenz'o hace alrededor de 30 a~nos, cuando la religi'on Wicca experienci'o un aumento incre'ible de popularidad. Al momento, no hab'ian suficientes maestros tradicionales para conocer el enorme aumento de inter'es en la religi'on. Para asistir a esta ola de inter'es, muchos brujos salieron del armario y empezaron a escribir sobre el Arte, dando toda la informaci'on que pod'ian al p'ublico interesado. Estos muy bien conocidos autores incluyen a Raymond Buckland, Sybil Leek, Janet and Stewart Farrar, Z. Budapest, Starhawk, Dorren Valiente, Patricia Crowly, Scott Cunningham, Marion Weinstein, Laurie Cabot, Ancient RavenWolf, entre otros. A trav'es de estos autores, muchos individuos lograron unir la suficiente informaci'on en el Wicca moderno para comenzar su pr'actica solitaria (o de grupo). Adem'as, el nacimiento de lo que nosotros llamamos Wicca "ecl'ectica", una forma de Wicca donde el individuo no pertenece a ninguna tradici'on en rigorous, grupo, o secta, tom'o lugar. Hoy en d'ia, tenemos tantos practicantes ecl'ecticos como los tradicionales. Ning'un grupo deber'ia considerarse mejor o peor que el otro.

Como definido antes, una iniciaci'on consiste de un grupo de individuales los cuales les importa una qualities lo suficiente como para hacerle una ceremonia de cambio para ellos. El procedimiento de la iniciaci'on primariamente pertenece a los brujos tradicionales, aunque algunos c'irculos y grupos ecl'ecticos utilizan la iniciaci'on. Si usted pertenece a un c'irculo tradicional que tiene una jerarqu'ia (forma de gobierno), entonces usted preferir'a ir por su ceremonia de iniciaci'on. Y s'i, usualmente hay m'as de una ceremonia. A medida de que usted aprende, usted progresa a trav'es de espec'ificos niveles de entrenamiento. El nivel mayor representa un lugar de style y habilidades que se reserva para wiccanos mayores. Confirmaci'on y comuni'on son ceremonias familiares que coinciden con el prop'osito de la Iniciaci'on Wiccana.

Una dedicaci'on, por otro lado, normalmente consiste de una ceremonia que un individuo hace por s'i mismo, para aclarar, en ritual, que 'el o ella creen en las leyes y estructura del Arte, y que intentar'a siempre seguirlas. La mayor'ia de los wiccanos ecl'ecticos han adoptado una especie de ritual de dedicaci'on. En esta, la qualities le affected al Dios y a la Diosa que est'a listo para seguir el camino Wicca. Algunos grupos tradicionales tambi'en requieren un periodo de dedicaci'on de un a~no y un d'ia antes de que el individuo experiencie la ceremonia de iniciaci'on. Ninguna de las ceremonias de dedicaci'on o de iniciaci'on requiere que la qualities "rinda" su fe forward.

Osea, ?qu'e ocurre en una iniciaci'on? Ceremonias de iniciaci'on var'ian de grupo en grupo, pero cinco aspectos siguen igual: la purificaci'on, el reto, la muerte simb'olica, el renacimiento del individuo y el voto. Una dedicaci'on consiste en dos partes: la purificaci'on y el testimonio de dedicaci'on.

Circle Times: Friday, July 10, 2009Theresa Chaze has been described as the woman who plays with dragons, especially the dragons of the mind. She leads her readers to magical realms and others worlds. Her work is based on her philosophy that all peoples can live together in peace as long as we come from respect, not only for ourselves but those who follow different paths or beliefs. Her work has been compared to Marion Zimmer Bradley and Anne McCaffrey with an adult version of Harry Potter mixed in.

Barack Obamas Allegiance Is Not To America And God But To The New World Order And Satan

"...A LUCIFERIAN PHILOSOPHY IS THE INSPIRATION FOR THE CREATION OF A NEW WORLD ORDER AND A ONE WORLD TOTALITARIAN GOVERNMENT. BARACK OBAMA, LIKE THE BUSHES AND CLINTON BEFORE HIM, HAS SPOKEN OF THE NEED FOR A NEW WORLD ORDER."

It is hard to pierce the psychology of psychopathic rulers and politicians without having some understanding of their philosophy towards life. Our civilization would be better served if the belief system of politicians was discussed on the campaign trail and on television. We would all be in for some stomach-turning surprises.

It is a well understood fact that a number of high-level Iranian politicians believe in the coming of the Mahdi. President Ahmadinejad and his closest advisers produced a documentary for senior government officials that showcased their belief in Islamic end times prophecy. Watch the documentary with English subtitles here.

The sensational documentary was made to indoctrinate the soldiers of Islam in Iran and elsewhere into thinking that they are fighting for God and the prophet Muhammad, when in reality they are fighting for the clerical oligarchs and the political elite that rules the Islamic Republic of Iran. Their martyrdom will help pave the way for a new world order.

But the Iranian government is not unique in its belief in end times prophecy. The United States of America is also led by crazy rulers who share similar beliefs about a new age and have similar religious aspirations for the new world. The only difference is they believe in another kind of end times babble, one that is not Islamic or Christian, but Satanic.

Indeed, a Luciferian philosophy is the inspiration for the creation of a new world order and a one world totalitarian government. Barack Obama, like the Bushes and Clinton before him, has spoken of the need for a new world order.

Vice President Joe Biden also expressed his love for the new world order in a Wall Street Journal Op-Ed in 1992 called, "How I Learned to Love the New World Order." That's not really that surprising or scary. I expect big power players to make plans to continue their domination of the world in a new form and under a new flag. That's just politics.

What is disturbing about top U.S. political leaders is their blatant disregard for the American masses and their worship of Satan in public. President Barack Obama regularly flashes the famous devil horn hand sign when he is giving speeches or being photographed. Here is one example. And another. And another. And another. You get the point.

And here is Obama's handsome wife getting in on the action. Notice the right hand in this magazine cover for Ebony. Very clever. But she's not so subtle in this picture.

Throwing up the sign of Satan is a tradition in American politics and culture, no matter if you are a Republican and or a Democrat because Satan cheers for both sides. The ruling elite is a gang, with its own initiation rites, rituals, philosophy, and gang sign, all courtesy of Satan.

Here is former President Bush throwing up his gang sign with pride. He does it again with his left hand in this photo. And here he is doing it beside the Queen (how radical, dude!) Of course, you have do throw up the Satan sign with the wife once in a while.

Former President Bill Clinton is a fan of Satan, too. And so is the Pope! And hey look -- American Revolutionary Ron Paul is doing it, too! Is he throwing it in our faces? What a gentleman. May God Bless His Soul!

That's enough of Satan's hand sign. If you want to learn more about it, read this Infowars.com article by Texe Marrs about its significance and history. I'm more interested in understanding the philosophy that guides these creeps and weirdos to do what they do.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is known to be a creepy egomaniac with a messianic complex. Netanyahu believes he is the Jewish answer to Winston Churchill and Iran is the 21st century Nazi Germany that represents all evil in the world. It is a very bizarre belief that's not grounded in reality, but it is very politically convenient and a lot of Israelis are falling for this scam.

The people of Israel seem to be losing sight of the fact that Israel is not an occupied concentration camp under totalitarian rule but a highly advanced military state that can defend itself very easily against the slightest aggression from the Iranian government or any other nation.

But Netanyahu wants to keep the Israeli people in the dark and use their insecurity to seize political glory for himself. He is a danger to Israel and the world because of his demonic nature.

Netanyahu is not the only psychopath who wants a world war and mass death. There are a lot of psychopaths in high places in America, Israel, Iran, England, France, Italy, Russia, and all over the world.

The Earth is truly Satan's Kingdom. And there are many puppets in politics, the military, media, entertainment and business who love to serve Satan and do evil.

After nearly three years in office, it should be clear to everyone that President Barack Obama is a psychopath who serves Satan. And you can add George W. Bush, George H. W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Newt Gingrich, John McCain, and many other U.S. political leaders to that list.

When you know that Barack Obama is a Satanic thief and a lying psychopath then you're not shocked when you see him on late night television with Jay Leno calling the mass murder of the Libyan people by NATO drones and Al-Qaeda terrorists a "recipe for success." In reaction to that interview, the writer at cryptogon.com wrote:

A recipe for success?

The grinning, shill, international terrorist President of the United States talks up the regime's atrocities on a late night comedy show, with the host, audience and millions of people out in TV land going along with it...

Holy shit.Holy shit is right. Barack Obama is evil on the scale of Mt. Olympus, and America is the land of the Dead.

How did America and humanity fall so far, into the very depths of hell? I wish I knew.

Public knowledge about the true beliefs and goals of America's political leaders is critically important. People should know what President Barack Obama and his Republican foes believe about the nature of the world, the purpose of human existence, the role of the Creator, the character of Satan, the idea of free will, and other larger philosophical questions.

Knowing the life-guiding beliefs of major politicians and public officials is more important than knowing their opinions about tax policy or small-scale issues.

And forget politicians' tax records, the public needs to know their mental health records to find out how their brain works. If they are clinically insane then that fact alone will mean the end of the current political system because it is obviously broken and demonic.

If it is shown that high-level politicians lack basic social qualities like empathy and they show signs of psychopathy and mental illness then they must be taken to mental institutions.

Currently, American political psychopaths are voted into the Congress and the White House by millions of naive and gullible people.

This is not just a problem in America. Every modern society seems to be under the horrific hypnosis of political and religious power in the hands of totalitarian myth makers who are members of secret societies.

Another question we should be asking is who is more mentally sick? The blind sheepish believer that is the modern voter, or the arrogant psychopathic deceiver that is the modern politician?

Both are obviously made for each other.

The rest of us have to watch the dark show and suffer because we get ridiculed by the first group and killed by the second group.

Many people believe there is a war between heaven and hell that is being fought right now. I used to regard those beliefs as spiritual in nature and having no significance in politics and real life.

But discovering that the highest political leaders in America and around the world frequently flash the Satanic hand sign has given me second doubts.

My stomach turned when I saw the photo of Ron Paul give the Satan sign at the Ames Straw Poll in the 2008 presidential campaign.

It is obvious the ruling elite are speaking in a symbolic code. And it is obvious they are on the side of Satan in this war.

If that is the reality of the present situation and I'm not over-paranoid, then mark me down as Satan's adversary.

A S Haley South Carolina Decision Is Full Vindication For The Victims Of Ecusas Oppression

February 5, 2015

Circuit Judge Diane S. Goodstein's CAREFULLY CRAFTED 46-PAGE DECIsion in the case brought by Bishop Mark Lawrence's Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina (along with 35 of its parishes, plus St. Andrew's, Mt. Pleasant) against the Episcopal Church (USA) and its rump group (ECSC, or "Episcopal Church in South Carolina") is a complete vindication of the positions taken and arguments advanced for so long, by so many, inside and outside the Church.

It is a vindication first, for the Right Reverend Mark Lawrence and his legal team, who conceived the winning strategy, assembled and put on all the evidence, wrote all the briefs, argued all the appeals, fought back in the federal courts, and at last brought ECUSA to its day of reckoning.

It is a vindication, as well, of Bishop Lawrence's PASTORAL STRATEGIES, by which he showed how spiritual leaders can follow and submit themselves to the civil law, while in doing so remain faithful and Biblical counselors and guides for those in their spiritual care. It was Bishop Lawrence who decided on behalf of his Diocese not to appeal THE "ALL SAINTS WACCAMAW" DECISION to the U.S.

Supreme Court and RUN THE RISK OF DIVIDING HIS PARISHES STILL FURTHER. It was Bishop Lawrence who accepted responsibility for GIVING EACH PARISH IN HIS DIOCESE A QUITCLAIM DEED in compliance with the holding in "All Saints Waccamaw "that the Dennis Canon could on its own not create a trust in any property in South Carolina. These decisions led to the accusations of "abandonment" brought against Bishop Lawrence by his detractors, but they were pastorally the "right" decisions to make under the circumstances. Had ECUSA's leaders shown a comparable willingness to submit to the everyday requirements of the civil law, the Church would not be where it is today: millions and millions of dollars poorer, with absolutely nothing to show from the squandering of all its trust funds.

It is a vindication of all of the faithful parishioners and clergy in the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina who remained by their Bishop, and provided much-needed financial support, as ECUSA and its minions sought to bring him down by the sheer weight of all the forces they could bring to bear against him and his Diocese... THE REST

AS HAS LONG BEEN ARGUED ON THIS BLOG, ANY RESTRICTION WHICH ECUSA TRIED TO PUT UPON THE ABILITY OF ITS MEMBER DIOCESES TO WITHDRAW WOULD BE IN VIOLATION OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT, AND UNENFORCEABLE IN ANY CIVIL COURT IN THE LAND.

Blood Light And Honey

My little brother believed in "La Virgen de la Altagracia", in "Jes'us", and in his big sister's Eclectic Witchery. Sometime back, he called me at around two in the morning. He sounded pissed off, but he was mostly frightened. He had just found out that someone he trusted very much had gone to see a Voodooist, who dabbled into harmful magic, in order to procure an estrangement curse.

The jinx was a nasty thing that called for broken glass, bark ripped dishonorably from a poisonous tree, stolen blood, non-polar chemicals... I understood why my little brother was scared.

I got out of bed and began preparing a protection charm with him on the phone. I told him I would mail it in two days time, but that it would be best if he cleansed his body and his place. He still had some of the infusion I made for him the prior Winter Solstice, so he used that on himself. "I don't have anything to clean the house," he said. There was panic in his voice. And at that moment, I felt something very ugly towards the person who betrayed my little brother's trust.

"Do you have salt and cinnamon?" He told me he did. "Then you're fine," I said, and instructed him to boil 3 sticks of cinnamon in 13 cups of water for 13 minutes; to let his need for protection infuse the brew. Once he was done, I asked him to wipe the walls with it, mop the floor, put some down the drain, and flush the rest down the toilet. Then, he was to scatter salt around the four corners. Almost two hours later, he was in bed.

I was still up. My witchy cabinet wasn't looking all that rich, so I raided the kitchen pantry and my closet. I grabbed the following ingredients:- a jar of honey with comb- my silver hammer- my Dragon's Blood palm- my favorite black headscarf (it belonged to my grandmother) - my red and black power-tube-top (it makes me feel feel extra stunning and unstoppable) - a wand Mina and her husband made for me (I use it when I need a hand)- a Baby Crow ACEO I got from Stacy (the black bird and pink daisies always make me smile)

I sat cross-legged in the middle of my bedroom with all the ingredients on my lap, except the honey. The latter, I held against my chest. After I felt that the honey had drank a lot of the wonderful emotions and power the rest of the ingredients evoked in me, I pricked my finger and let a drop of the blood that loves my little brother become one with the honey.

The sun was already out when I finished the first part of the protection spell. I found a spot outside, where I knew the tiny jar would not be disturbed, and I let the blazing magic of the sun fill my charm with light.

My little brother called me when he received the jar, and said, "Are you turning into Papi? Buying people stuff they can get easier by themselves?"

"You didn't eat it, did you?" I said.

"No, "Brujita" (little Witch)," he said, "I still remember the last time I washed my hair with something of yours that "looked" like shampoo."

"Good," I said. "Just put a drop of your blood in it. Think good thoughts, bright thoughts, happy thoughts, protective thoughts, play some nice music if you need to-my little brother wasn't great at sitting still-and then put it under your bed for three days and three nights." After that he was to bury the jar someplace where it wouldn't be disturbed.

I brewed a great number of spells for my little brother over the years-mostly for cleansing, but there were other protection charms. The one above always comes to mind when I think of him these days. I've named it "Pabelo's Blood, Light and Honey", and will add it to my grimoire.

Two months ago, on February 28th, my baby brother travelled to the Summerlands, 10 days before he 26th birthday. I wish his" Virgen de la Altagracia" holds him in her protective arms. I wish he still laughs with his entire face. I wish he still remembers how much he was (and always will be) loved.

The strongest magic is empowered by symbols of Nature, love and trust.

Stone Divination

Galen Gillotte

Within precious or semiprecious stones and crystals resides a wealth of knowledge. They have been around for much longer that I have been alive - at least in this incarnation - and I would be foolish not to avail myself of their wisdom. Each stone has its own energy, attributes, and uses. But in the following divinatory practices I have chosen to focus on color as an easy way to connect with the stone's energies. We use color during ritual in order to resonate with those energies we are tapping into, thus using colored stones in divination is one way of receiving hints about the future.

Divination comes from the root word 'divine', which has to do with the Deity. When we utilize forms of divination we are attempting to connect with the Divine Mind in order to receive clarity or guidance about a matter. There are, of course, other ways to do this. One may consult a book, talk with a friend or trained counselor, or in other ways work out the answer to a problem. But if you think that using divination may be of some assistance, the following divinatory casts may be of use. Remember though that the future is not "cast in stone," and that you may always exercise your free will in any matter.

Following is a list of stones and their symbolism. If the colors and their attributes do not fit for you, please feel free to alter them to your needs. Likewise, if I have not mentioned a stone you feel particularly comfortable working with, add it to the list under the appropriate color selection.

There are many divinatory systems available from which to choose, and they will all work, as they tap into the unconscious mind where all answers reside. This system will do the same, whether you use it "As is" or change it to conform more closely to your needs.

For the following divinatory casts you will use just thirteen stones. From the list below, choose one stone from each color selection until you have all thriteen. These will be your working stones. Beneath each heading is the symbolism for that color, which will be used in divining the answers to your questions.

* CLEAR STONES: quartz crystal; herkimer diamond; clear tourmaline; clear fluorite.

Symbolism: clarity of thought; connecting with your HGA (Holy Guardian Angel); physical health and healing.

* WHITE STONES: moonstone; white marble; howlite; selenite; opal; snowy quartz.

Symbolism: purification; innocence; the moon; magic; Goddess as Maiden.

* YELLOW STONES: citrine; amber; cat's eye; yellow calcite; yellow jasper; topaz; yellow tourmaline.

Symbolism: communication; travel; success; leadership; intelectual pursuits; physical energy.

* ORANGE STONES: carnelian; sun stone; orange calcite.

Symbolism: personal power; attraction; movement; stimulation.

* RED STONES: starry jasper; red jasper; ruby; red garnet; sandstone; cinnabar; red aventurine.

Symbolism: sexual energy; passion; anger; the heart; change; action; strength; Goddess as Mother.

* PINK STONES: rhodocrosite; rhodonite; rose quartz; pink agate; pink tourmaline.

Symbolism: romantic love; friendship; joy; relationships; family interaction.

* PURPLE STONES: amethyst; sugalite; purple tourmaline.

Symbolism: connecting with divine energy; the mystical realm; spiritual progress; past lives; prayer; mystical or sacred marriage.

* LIGHT BLUE STONES: blue lace agate; aquamarine; blue quartz; blue aventurine; blue fluorite; some turquoise.

Symbolism: peace; tranquility; discernment; understanding; patience; relieving depression.

* DARK BLUE STONES: sodalite; lapis lazuli; azurite; sapphire; blue topaz.

Symbolism: fidelity; devotion; protection; psychic abilities; dreaming; intuition.

* GREEN STONES: amazonite; green aventurine; some turquoise; chrysoprase; malachite; moss agate; peridot; emerald.

Symbolism: money; prosperity; creativity; growth; fertility; personal goals; abundance; career matters; the Horned God.

* BROWN STONES: tiger-eye; smoky quartz; staurolite (cross stone); fire agate.

Symbolism: autonomy; inner resources; stability; personal responsibility; grounding.

GRAY STONES: labradorite; hematite.

Symbolism: wisdom, knowledge, silence; simplicity.

BLACK STONES: jet; obsidian; apache tear; black tourmaline; onyx.

Symbolism: releasing negative energy; binding; receptivity; death; transformation; Goddess as Crone.

As you utilize the following casts allow your intuitive self full rein. Each stone has several meanings, which are represented by a word (for example: red = passion or anger or change). Divine the meaning that is pertinent to your question, then allow the word to sink softly into your unconscious mind. Your intuitive self will take that word and expand upon it, giving you the answer you seek. Simply pay attention and you will have fruitful results.

THIRTEEN STONE CAST

For this cast place all of the stones in a pouch used for the purpose. Hold the pouch while thinking of your question. An example might be, "What do I need to do in order to get the job I want?" Reach into the pouch without looking and draw forth a stone. Place it in front of you. If the answer makes sense to you, stop there; if not, reach in and draw forth another stone. If you are still not sure of the answer, draw a third stone. This will bind the first two. The answers combined will be the answer you seek.

YES/NO CAST

This is used when all you need is a "yes" or "no" answer. While thinking of your question, reach into the pouch and stir the stones around. When you feel the time is right, LIGHTLY clasp a collection of stones and draw them forth from the pouch. If the number of stones are even, the answer is "yes"; if odd, the answer is "no".

A variation of this is to take a piece of felt and draw a circle on it. Divide the circle in half. On one side write "yes", on the other, write "no". Mark an "x" in the very center of the circle. Hold the pouch while thinking of your question, and when you feel the time is right, tip the bag over the felt circle, making sure to do so over the center point. Then count the number of stones on each side, discarding those sitting on the dividing line or falling outside of the circle. The side with the most stones will be your answer.

SACRED CIRCLE CAST

This is used when you need to know how your past and present will affect a future outcome. Hold the pouch of stones as you ask your question. Next, remove all of the stones from your pouch, one at a time, and place then in a circle (you may use the cirle drawn on your felt piece as a guide). Locate the "top" of the circle (the 12:00 position on a clock face). Keeping your question in mind and moving clockwise, pull each fourth stone out of the cirle and place it before you, from left to right. Do this until you have three stones in front of you. The leftmost stone is your recent past with regards to the question; the middle stone is the present; and the rightmost stone is the possible future. Read them all together to find your answer.

ELEMENTAL CIRCLE CAST

This is used when you need balance and want to incorporate the wisdom of the elementals into your answer. Place all of the stones in your pouch. As you hold the pouch, think about your question. When ready, reach in and remove one stone. Place this in front of you in the 3:00 position (you may use the circle drawn on your felt piece for a guide). This is the stone for the element of the east, which is air and is concerned with your thoughts and intuition about the matter. Reach in the pouch and remove another stone. This will be placed in the 6:00 position and is the stone for the element of the south, which is fire. This stone is concerned with your will and actions.Now remove a third stone and place it in the 9:00 position.

CHAKRA MEDITATION

This is a meditation rather than a divinatory exercise, yet is may also be used to locate areas of physical concern or stress.

Choose seven stones with colors to represent each of the seven chakras. They should be laid out as folloows.

7 = Crown shakra: amethyst or violet (white) *

6 = Third Eye or Brow chakra: dark blue or indigo (amethyst) *

5 = Throat chakra: light blue

4 = Heart chakra: green

3 = Solar Plexus chakra: yellow

2 = Naval chakra: orange

1 = Root chakra: red

Once your stones are laid out, pick up the first stone, for the Root chakra, and hold it in your dominant hand. Close your eyes, meditate on the color red, and visualize your Root chakra opening like a lotus flower. When it feels as if it is fully open, move on to the next stone and the next chakra. If there are any blockages along the way you might feel it in your body at that chakra point, or in the stone you are holding. Pay special attention to that area. Once all of the chakras are open, simply sit in quiet meditation, drawing health and balance to yourself. When you feel the time is right, close each chakra, beginning at the Crown and moving down to the Root, visualizing each energy point closing up like the petals of a flower. This is a good meditation to use for balance and inner healing.

"* In some systems the Crown chakra is imaged as bright white, while the Third Eye or Brow chakra is imaged as amethyst. You may use these colors if you wish
