    Witchcraft

    This is such a common misconception... and it truly lies in the definition of terms. First off, witchcraft is a religion far older than wicca. Wicca is a version of neo-paganism much like baptist is a version of christianity. Now, I believe the word everyone is looking for is magick. Magick is...

    Witchcraft

    Witchcraft is the religion of the old gods of the pantheons. As a witch our main belief is that we can positively change the world around us through working with each other and other spirits who assist us in our work. We seek to better our lives and the lives of others through teaching that...

    Thoughts on Positive life changes

    In our journey of life we encounter many people on a daily basis who can impact us for the better or for the worse... this is a widely accepted truth; however, what if I told you that it's truly a state of mind. If we sense a mostly negative person and we are experiencing a difficult time in our...

    Thoughts on Judgement and Discrimination

    As with many of my posts I will begin with a passage from the Bible: Matthew 7:1-6 "Do not judge or you too will be judged. For in the same way as you judge others, you will be judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your...

    Holy Days and Times of Change

    The other day in my quest to acquire food in Greenwood, SC I was referred to the local food bank. Upon arriving after they had closed I was told that they were closed for the day and upon inquiring as to their availability the next day (which so happened to be Good Friday) I was told that they...

    18 y/o son into Wicca...tell him to move out?

    Kicking him out would probably alter your relationship with him for the rest of your lives. You will never be quite as close or feel quite right around each other. Take it from me, my parents kicked me out when I was 17 for being gay and wiccan and I've never felt as close to my mother ever...

    In Norway it is OK for homosexuals to marry in the church

    Well, have you actually looked into the linguistics of those verses? If you have then you would see why they aren't very clear. First, we will look at the Old Testament passages. When discussing sexuality in the ancient world we must keep in mind the ancient mindset of sexuality. The most...

    In Norway it is OK for homosexuals to marry in the church

    Please understand that it was not my intention to make an accusation, I just want people (yourself included) to realize that when it comes to interpreting sacred texts interpretations are exactly that. There is no one true interpretation (or at least not one that everyone can agree on). I always...

    In Norway it is OK for homosexuals to marry in the church

    I would just like to point out that it's because of people like Tackleberry that I left the church in the first place. In Nowheresville, SC Tackleberry's views are held by most of the population making my town a very dangerous and even life threatening place for my boyfriend and myself. I just...

    Had a Vision...

    As a psychology student I have to take issue with a few points made above: 1. Feminine vs. masculine: as we study various cultures we see how traits deemed as "feminine" and "masculine" are not biologically based but culturally based. If a male child is told that characteristic x is feminine and...

    Gay marriage now official: Hallmark rolls out gay marriage greeting cards

    Argumentum ad ignorantiam... just because the bible does not have "same gender marriage" in it does not mean that the bible is for or against "same gender marriage" just like blogging is not in the bible... but I don't think we'd consider blogging a sin. Again, there is no biblical record to...

    Gay marriage now official: Hallmark rolls out gay marriage greeting cards

    If there's one thing in my whole life that I abhor the most it's people who think that they're always right and that they could in no way be wrong... people who assume. So, my question is, how do you know that David and Jonathan weren't gay... WERE YOU THERE??? No? ... ... ... Didn't think so
