Jules Michelet eloquently defended innocent nature against the cruel tyrannies of Abrahamic religion, such as cats being burned alive with "witches" during the Inquisition, and (later) notions that Nature, animals, and humans are "machines." [bummed] I'd like to start this thread...

Sorry for the delay,my son needed help.He's epileptic and not doing great just now. Oh, I'm sorry to know that. [stare] My husband is also epileptic, so I can surely understand. I've got my candles,marked them with my own runic charms and yours,dressed too and going on now. [thumbup] Energy hike co...

It's currently 3:52 p.m. London, England time.

My candles are again lit, spell is on. [grin]

I'll happily join in,as soon as I get some more supplies in. [yay] I have only got red candles,in use already for something I'm working on,atm. It's a horrific situation indeed and I'm more than willing to hike a burst of energy on to your working,too,if that's ok? [thumbup] Terrific! I'm using whi...

Heartbreaking situation there. [oh] Seems a four-point candle spell might not accomplish much, in the face of all that suffering and need, but I will devise a special working for them today. And make a financial contribution to a worthy relief agency. Cannot comprehend their predicament. [cry] I'm s...

Sounds very interesting! [thumbup] Jungian psychology...I love it! However, I'm not too knowledgeable about astrology (ask me about astronomy , though!). IIRC, Jung believed astrology was a projection of the workings of a person's subconscious mind onto astrological symbols and their meanings. But I...

I posted this elsewhere, to a friend: S**** will recall, I know, our discussions about a ghost (or two?) possibly inhabiting my home. For me, it was confirmed 15 minutes ago (6:20 a.m. local time). I did not see it. I heard it. I'd slept in our guest room, which is just slightly catty-corner to the ...

I am very invested in healing. I work medical, have a disabled husband (head injury; seizures [now very well controlled] and other issues). I'm seeing, today, news of 80 people murdered in North Korea for "the crime" of wanting to watch South Korean television. [stare] Thousands of people ...

Earlier today I've seen, linked to a person's Facebook page, a video clip of a man being attacked by a leopard. Three people commented in favor of the leopard, including a person who said "Way to go! Take back the Earth - what's yours!" :( Humans are just as much a part of Earth as any oth...

... reminds me why I am so thankful to be a homosexual male! Note to the Moderators: You needn't worry about a big flame war erupting. This will be my only in regards to him (and perhaps my last in the thread itself). I was going to ignore Asurendra after his latest, but a previous comment (above) ...

That said, I'll certainly agree that women get the short end of the stick in most of the Abrahamic religions. Blew my mind when my intelligent, educated and very much independent sister, who converted to Greek Orthodox in her 20's, swore to 'honor and obey' her husband at her wedding :/ I get that ...

And I'd like to clarify regarding what feminist literature I read (around 1993/1994). I don't recall the author's names; Marilyn French is a name I recognize, though I'm unsure if I actually read her. I stopped reading feminist literature because quite a bit of it struck me (still does) as unfair an...

Me, in initial post: It's only been within Witchcraft and Paganism, and also secular groups (science), that I've felt accepted and dignified (by the men within these groups) as an equal human. Me, in a private exchange with a male member of this board (today): Also, I did extend credit to reasonable...

I'll presume this is the place for such a post. It won't be long-winded. Simply seeking to relate my personal awakening. My childhood (from age 6) was intense born-again Christian. Gladly left that scene in my late teens. In early 20's, a brief experience with "New Age spirituality"; was h...

Okay, I'll be more careful in how I post and etc. Guess I should have given myself more time/familiarity with the board, before "jumping in" with recommendations. I've got a lot of material I'm reading or using, and like to share what I've found helpful and worthwhile. But I definitely don...

Huh? You're falsely accusing me. [bummed] I'm not selling any books. I have nothing to gain, personally, from mentioning a book I've read, and am merely nentioning what I've recently read or used, and enjoyed. Others might also enjoy them! I'll check out that "Bazaar" folder, but I've (tho...

I've recently finished this novel. Really enjoyed it! Good plot, believable characters, story moved right along.

Wish she'd have written a sequel or two; I became quite attached to Mistress Nokes and her family!

Love this web site. [grin] http://www.thegoddesstree.com/ Exact lunar phase towards bottom; helps me keep track, when the weather's been cloudy. Admin note: I took the link out.Stop posting commercial material across the forum.If you want to discuss such things,don't include a live link to them unle...

Nearly all of my (not yet extensive) work has been via candle spells (my own, which I create "on the fly" according to day or night, lunar phases, being mindful to honor North, East, South, West; etc.). I do get results. However, I've also found that allowing "Karma" to take its ...

I've recently done business with these two sellers (I'm an American). The 1st has a rather extensive list/variety. The 2nd is a newer entity with a handful of titles, of which I have two...and a third on the way. http://www.capallbann.co.uk/products.cfm http://troybooks.co.uk/catalogue.html I think ...

Hi everyone. [smile] I do love Tarot, and have found (to date) what is, imo, the most powerful yet: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/sidhe/ (includes scans) Seller: http://www.schifferbooks.com/index.php?main_page=product_book_info&products_id=4495 My deck was purchased used. That dealer sai...

Thanks, everyone, for the replies. [gz] Hello and welcome You mentioned that you're new and reading a number of books. Have you read the book that began the modern Wicca movement? It is here: http://www.amazon.com/Witchcraft-Today-Gerald-Gardner/dp/0806525932/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1...

Hello. I'm a 40-something woman, recent spiritual renewal and on the Pagan (Celtic primarily) path. I am a devotee of the Roman Goddess of Flowers - Flora. Reading lots of books (Capall Bann titles; Peter Grey; Robin Artisson; Witches Almanac; Mickie Mueller; Raven Grimassi; etc, etc). Love oracles ...
