Interesting Articles & Opinions-The Devil Doesnt Exist

cheney-devils-existThe devil does not exist. You see, he can only exist in the mind of someone convinced of his reality. I was once told by a Christian that those who are pagan are devil worshippers, and that you do not have to believe in Satan to carry out his will. This person remained adamant in their theory despite the fact that I explained that Wiccans and most pagans do not believe he exists whatsoever. Unfortunately, there is little use in trying to explain that to someone who firmly thinks you are an unaware devil worshipper. But I will tell you this. The devil exists only in the minds of those who believe in him.

Stories & Poetry-The Coven at Pooh Corner

pooh5This talk is designed to illustrate that spiritual significance is present in everything around us (see "Wicca and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: Children of Sekhmet, May 1988). On this occasion I shall be using for my inspiration the stories of that world famous writer A A Milne, to whit, Winnie the Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner. These are of course coded allegories of the spiritual development of a certain bear.

Firstly I would like to introduce the characters because there may be someone here not enlightened enough to have read these great works, in a similar sort of way as a Christian may not have read his Bible.

Stories & Poetry-The Wise Goodwife

the-good-wifeBy Leigh Ann Hussey

“Gramma, I feel hot.”

“Lands, child, on a cool fall day like this? Come here and let me feel of your forehead. Tsk! Feels like fever. Off to bed with you!”

“Gramma, I don’t feel good.”

“I know, child, I know. I reckon it’s time to ask Goody Hawkins to help us.”

“Who’s Goody Hawkins?”

“Hush, now, try to sleep. I’ll come back soon.”

“Gramma, where did you go?”

“Out into the woods back of the farm, child.”

“Why, Gramma?”

“To get Goody Hawkins’ help.”

“Who’s Goody Hawkins?”

“Well, that’s a long story.”

“Tell me a story, Gramma.” Read the rest of this entry »

Stories & Poetry-Before Time Was- A Creation Story

oceanpwcBefore time was, there was The One, The One was all, and all was The One.

And the vast expanse known as the Universe was The One, all-wise, all-pervading, all-powerful, eternally changing.

And space moved. The One molded energy into twin forms, equal but opposite, fashioning the Goddess and God from The One and of The One.

The Goddess and God stretched and gave thanks to The One, but darkness surrounded them. They were alone, solitary, save for The One. Read the rest of this entry »

Spells and Rituals-Beauty/Appearance Spells-Beauty Spell

silent_beauty_by_gilad2This spell will change people’s perception of you. Inner beauty will surface and become “visible”- people will actually see your inner beauty as being a physical part of you. You will also become more confident and outgoing.

Light one orange candle, and one rose-colored candle. Sit before a mirror and concentrate on all your best features, allow your flaws to diminish. Continue to focus as you recite this rite. When you are done with the rite, put out the candles (but do NOT blow them out! Try muffling or use water.) Conitinue the ritual nightly until both the candles have burned away entirely.

“O Lady of Shimmering beauty,
For whom the stars are shining jewels
And the Universe Her creation and plaything,
Weaver of destinies
And protectress of things wild and free.
Make me now, I do askTo be thy daughter. Read the rest of this entry »

Spells and Rituals-Beauty/ Eye Color-To Change Eye Color

212422-main_fullI get a high volume of emails regarding this page. Most are either already answered on this page and the writers simply did not read it well, or they are shows of narrow-mindedness and ignorance (read on to see what I’m talking about). This is a form of magick lesser known and lesser practiced, but valid and workable. If you don’t believe that, then it is your own loss because you are limiting yourself. And if you think this is a “spell from The Craft” (the movie), that is an extremely stupid statement (sorry). This is not a spell. But even if it were, had you ever seen the movie in question, you’d know this is nothing like the “thing” on The Craft. Why would you even care if it was from the movie? Do you think that they used no factual information from Wiccan beliefs for that film? Do you feel that they just “made up” the calling of the quarters, magick, and witchcraft for their scripts? Just because it’s in a movie, does not make it true NOR does it make it false. As far as saying, “well, they made up glamours!”… that’s another really uninformed statement. Glamour magick was around long before The Craft. Long before movies! So get over it. I simply will not reply to emails from closed-minded, rude people. Read the rest of this entry »

Spells and Rituals-Healing Spells-Moonweb AIDS Ritual

paganismThis ritual focuses on destroying barriers and increasing the positive elements that will help us overcome AIDS. The ritual space is purified according to personal practice. Invocations to Athena, Hermes, and/or Brigid may be done.

Those gathered will be divided into five groups. One will be assigned to each of the elements with one group in the center. Each group may be led by a particular coven or group of coven leaders. The center (altar) group will present each elemental group with the obstacle to overcome and later accept the positive “goal”. We have divided the elements this way:

Air - Knowledge/Ignorance
Fire - Committment/Indifference
Earth - Funding/Red Tape
Water - Empathy/Hostility Read the rest of this entry »
