I would like to share an experience with everyone regarding an encounter with a fraud many years ago. Other than the pseudonym by which he used, the names have been changed, but the story is 100% as I tell it. My hopes is that by sharing this experience, it might help prevent it from being replicated among anyone here.

In the Autumn of 2001, we used to enjoy staying over at Luna's house, situated in the quaint rural surroundings of Lincoln County, NC. Luna was a member in our circle,… Continue

I've been more and more serious about my rootwork/conjure/hoodoo practice, and as such have setup all my master candles now.

 

I'd been looking for some of the glass-encased candles (Novena Candles,) for some time, and finally found them in a dollar store here, when I went looking for something else.  I never did (and don't remember) find whatever else I was looking for... but after purchasing a white, red, yellow, blue, and green novena in my change was even a nice, old,…

I need a spell to get someone to NOT be attracted to me!  Lol.  I've told him no, but he's not listening and it's causing problems. He's not exactly stalking me, so I can't really take legal action.  He just won't take no for an answer and I'd rather he just forget about me.  I already have enough problems with my husband being gone.  Which he knows cause he is someone from his family and I've tried to talk to him but it's not working.  Any ideas?

So I went to see it last night... It was ok. The whole plague thing was a bit gross though. And I jumped a fair few times :P

Nothing that would hurt a pagan's feelings though. I'd be more offended if I was the Christian LOL But I won't be getting it on dvd, anyways.

 

Maybe I'll write more random stuff soon.

One of the things that is sometimes misunderstood is why groups, and even message boards such as this one, try to verify the claims someone might make to being a member of a specific Tradition.  Some feel this elitist or that we are picking on people.  Some feel we should just take them at their word.  The problem is that people are not always truthful in their claims.  And the bigger problem is that their lies can then lead to other individuals being hurt when they are led…

Today if you question yourself, doubt yourself, or otherwise feel down on yourself, remember: everyone does, but the moment when one of us finds the courage to stand strong, it has a ripple effect on everyone else. The question remains: which ones of us will be brave enough to love who we are today?

I see a horrid, self validating thing happening amongst the pagan cultures. It's been happening as long as i can remember, and it will likely keep happening for as long as I live. We validate ourselves by giving others the ability to validate themselves. See this screencap from a year or two ago;

I have, over the course of my life and over time in several different social networks, encountered many people who claim to have at one time been in contact with a nonspecific "Indian Warrior" or "Indian Shaman." This person could be of Native or non-native lineage, and the spirit is sometimes their "Spirit Guide" and sometimes just plain visiting them. While I care not who specifically is receiving these spirits' messages, I do care that the messages be authentic and…

What I said in chat about the Crusades was:

On the other hand, I remember a good example of honorable conduct that is as much historical as anything else we've discussed, in one of the bloodiest wars in human history. King Richard and Saladin fought long, bloody battles, daily. At the end of each day, detachments of were sent out by both sides to work peacefully side by side collecting the wounded and dead. Saladin and Richard were also often known to send each other gifts or favors,… Continue

Guided Meditation: Awakening the Body

Meditation is a wonderful tool for creating balance and relieving stress. It helps one get in tune with our inner selves and our internal energy. Meditation is not limited to a specific purpose. People can meditate on a word, a sound, and idea, and emotion, or simply one’s own breath. Daily meditaion has even been found to lower blood pressure! Wiccans can use it to strengthen our connection to our energy flow.

The 12 steps to Fluffy Bunny recovery

1. We admitted that we are powerless over our fluffieness. That our lives have become annoying to ourselves and others

2. We came to belive in a power greater than ourselves that could save us from Fluffieness ( and it is not Silver Ravenwolf )

3. We made a decision to turn our lives over to the care of the GOD and the GODDESS as we undertand…

Well I know this is really random but I'm writing a book and I'm trying to change the vampire novels most are use to. But I can't decide whether to add angels, witches, mer people, demons, or perhaps all of them. Any Ideas? wish I could make this longer but I have to run out the door, blessed be dears. Continue

Greetings all.

I joined this group a few weeks back while in the midst of the holiday insanity which, though it's always a welcome break, I'm ever so glad has passed.  You don't need me to tell you that it's a whirlwind of relatives and friends, obligations and rituals (and Rituals), but I've nonetheless been remiss to you, fellow Real Pagans, in saying hello and offering thanks to those who welcomed me sight unseen and who even offered birthday wishes for that other, albeit personal,…
