Wicca

I loved the ladyofthe earth websiste. Tell me this, how do you know or find your animal spirit? I have so many animals in my life. I am also interested in shamanism and do believe that Native Americans have great knowledge and wisdom. I hope to learn more and any guidance that can be offered to me will be well accepted and welcomed. Saw Hagrid this morning on my morning walk, stopped in my circle and gave thanks for his presence and said hi for you.

hey willow thanks for the kind words :)
first of all i think its fantastic that you have a lil refuge for the animals. if i ever won the lottery i know id try and get a big chunk of land and try to save it from humanity's mindless "development"
im a vegetarian too. seems to boost the old karma factor too :)
i made a thread especially for this topic go check it out plse! blessed be

hmm heres a question probably not the best place to ask it but i like you stoners. whats the difference between the goddess and the dark goddess? :confused:

Goddess Tara is my favourite too. :p

My father was very sick when he was just a baby. The local doctors couldnt tell what was wrong with him.

My dad was brought to a witch docotor in the jungles of Peru (where he grew up) when he was young because he was plauged with evil spirits/demons.

I think he thinks he's plagued. It's wierd over there, christains and the occasional pagens.

Neat ehh?

I belive that stuff shouldnt be played around with. I know its real, iv witnessed the shit, but some doors arent to be opened. My faith (christianity) sais that all who practive divinity (witchcraft) and sorcery will BURN THIER SORRY ASSES IN HELL! DIE WICCANS DIE.
I know thats harsh, but its my faith lol

Typical christian mentality, psychonaut.

i am a practiceing warlock i am learning the art slowly yet i focus more on spells and meditation

PS i also beleave there is a god. i know he is there... the reason i dont talk to him i between me and Him.

being celtic dosent mean devil worshiper! make sure you understand that.

just because i dont talk to god dosent meant i talk to the devil. and yes they are both real.

(PRACTICING WARLOCK?)When someone is called a Warlock, they are a OATH BREAKER. If you knew how to use a webster's dictionary, YOU would know that. Are you saying that you was a part of some coven and went and told some major secrets about the coven?That is a warlock.My guess is that YOU couldn't cast a spell to find your way out of a paper bag.

My religion is drinkin' and since I done wrecked daddys tractor I done not able to drink any for a little while. O gotta' get the bottle but the judge said i can't drink until I finish some kind of health program or something. I really need the bottle right now.

See I like to reflux my liquor in different flavorings and additives before I drink it, Gotta' try to get the right formula for the right kick.

Back in the old days when they was making hootch, they started trying to synthesize other compounds and they started distilling ethyl ether from battery acid and liquor and they was so drunk they started selling the left-over alcohol from the pot that had battery acid in it.

Thats what wiccans and pagans in Europe kinda was, They were brewers and alcemists trying to make lead out of gold and brewing up the beers.

delta your probably right about some of this stuff but wicca is not all about alcohol its about the god and goddess(es)

Yea thats true, I just had a great thirst for a beer, and it has passed now. but I don't like god or gods. See Gods have free will just as humans do and they say that you will be rewarded if you worship and follow me. This God that god, To follow he is just as following any else, Just temptaion to paradise. I would rather be damned to hellfire than to live my life asking mercy from some unseen figure who with his freewill is just as selfish as any other man.

..heres a cool link i discovered and i thought i would share. http://www.geocities.com/lavenderwater37/

"Witchcraft and Wicca are two separate religions, but do have similarities. Wicca is a very modern religion. It borrows from witchcraft and many other beliefs. For example, Witchcraft does not follow a rede for guidelines. Witches of Witchcraft believe intent is what is important and being responsible for your actions."

I also have elk roaming around but they are so big so I haven't tried to make good friends with them. they are more frightened of me than the deer are. Have lots of other wild life too, coyotes, lots of birds. I am trying to make a refuge for them so no one will harm them. Lots of hunters up here too. I don't eat any kind of animals and I think that the deer know that because during hunting season my deer population grows. When I see Hagrid, I will think of you. Thanks for all the info on those websites. I'll look at them tonight or tomorrow morning. Peace be with you, thanks for "talking" with me. Willow

ok maybe i'm too stoned to remember....but i think its something like :
" i don't practice santeria, i ain't got no crystal ball. i had a million dollars but i spent it all"

and thats where the song trails off in my head... good song tho (btw this isn't slip, its his wife)

When I was in prison (manufacture of methamphetamine) I had a cellmate who was a Wiccan. One time he told me he he knew how to make a "love potion" I told him to cook up his recipe, and I'll cook up mine, and we'll see who gets more pussy. He didn't talk much about it after that.

I guess you could say I am Wiccan, it's about the closest thing to my religion that there is out there. I do worship the Mother Goddess, but I am unsure if the Goddess I worship is the Goddess of Wiccan faith. I am a Priestess of the Goddess Isis.

The mother Goddess has many names, and many forms. May the Goddess watch over you, and may she light your path.
Blessed be!

a cool resource i found today i thought i would share "FLOWERS BY POWER"


http://www.occult100.com/bos/flowerspower.html

http://psychopixi.com/pagan.shtml

This is my site. It had a shit-load of information on Paganism and Wicca, and on my own personal beliefs. I think a lot of the people on this thread who were harping on about "true Wiccans" ought to read it for a start, plus you'll probably find it kinda cool if you just want to learn a bit more about the subject.

I'm definitely a modern day Pagan. I've got an internet connection (maybe the person who though Pagans don't mix with technology ought to read my site too) and I'm taking a degree in Computer Science. I've got a book of shadows saved on my hard disk. I like chatting to other Pagans online - what better way to meet people who're interested in the same things, and you can bet that whatever obscure aspect of magick you want to look into, there'll be a website or forum catering for it.

A few points: Who the fuck decides what a "true Wiccan" is? Silver BloodyRavenwolf? No, wait... Titania, obviously! *ugh*

Um, yes, Wiccans do practise witchcraft, although not all Wiccans do, and not all the people who practise magick are Wiccan.

And ooooh, we've got a warlock!! Fuck off back to your Dungeons & Dragons game mate, you're evidently getting confused!

Forgive me if I ruin it...

"I don't practice santaria, I aint got no crystal ball.
I had a million dollars but I spent it all.. If I could find that hanna and that sancho that she found, I'd pop a cap in sancho and I'd slap her down.
What I really wanna know,
What I really wanna say...
Is I've got love, and I'll make it yes I'm going up...

That's the most I remember..I love that song tho.
