Re: Reasons I Won't Believe in Christianity.
My biggest reason for walking away from the faith I was raised in, practiced to the point of even becoming a Minister of said faith, and then questioning the faith after delving into research which took years to procure- is something very basic and simple. I studied the Torah. To make a long post a ...

Re: what do you think about speaking in tongues?
Pentecostals who speak in Glossalalia are under their own excited, ecstatic trance state. This creates a euphoric sense of the divine and a heightened, self-induced "spiritual" experience. Basically they are hypnotizing themselves to believe in their own spiritually induced experience and ...

Re: Must I Let Go of Juadaism Completely?
Old thread is old, but I have to expand on this. Tess Dawson is the founder of Natib Qadish , Ancient Canaanite Polytheism. She has two books on the subject and a nice blog to check out. She implements the Ras Shamra texts and their continued deciphering using the ancient Ugaritic(closer to Aramaic ...

Re: Chaos magick
I think My Little Pony is a nice touch. They come in so many colors :) and as nothing is true & everything is permitted secular Crafters might well heave a sigh of relief. What are the odds on having the chutzpah to know when to stop? Imagine a Middle Pillar Ritual focusing on the light of Prin...

Re: Forms of witchcraft with indigenous roots?
If what you are seeking is to find a Shamanistic practice close to your Central American roots, much is adopted and similar to what was documented in Michael Harner's The Way of the Shaman as a universal approach uncovered by most Anthropologists to date. You can find much of the same practices for ...

Re: Chaos magick
Many assume Chaos Magic is a complete rejection of structure, which it is not. Many take the ideology as a system of non-systematic practice and create a blank slate for ritual which is not exactly what Chaos Magic practice is. It was originally intended as a system to implement a belief into the pr...

Simplified Sepher Sephiroth
To note- This is indeed a basic, simple, ignorant answer to some question I have received over the years to explain who, what & why about the Sepher Sephiroth and its magical application. I thought I would share it here. Has anyone ever wondered what certain phrases, words and circular layouts w...

Re: Communing
Something I'm having trouble with is communing with the beings around me, most of the time what I think I'm hear if is my imagination trying to fill the silences between the scraps of words I do here to make a sentence or to entirely create one to what I want to hear. I need and want to be able to ...

Re: Visually piercing the veil
I am surprised no one here mentioned finding a rock that has a natural hole in it to gaze through the moonlight to see the fae & spirits. This is classic, traditional faerie lore!

Re: Theories & Opinions On Chaos Magic?
Well while most of the time I've seen it called the Ellis symbol there were a couple instances of it being called the Eris symbol. This is the Sigil of Eris: https://i.imgur.com/79GxZFg.jpg As far as the sigil in question: Meh. Whatever power or authority we give it is what it is going to have on e...

Re: Spell Books and sites
Does anyone understand astrology??! I'm looking for the "for Dummies" edition so maybe my eyes don't glaze over, y'know. And planets come and go these days. Who can keep up? Is Pluto in or out of the running? Is there, or isn't there, a tenth planet? No wait, that would be 9 without Pluto...
