Is It Worth Having 2 Tailor Characters


Is It Worth Having 2 Tailor Characters
[:1]My mage has 450 tailoring and I'm leveling my priest who is at 397 tailoring currently. I'm wondering if it's worth continuing tailoring on the priest, or should I drop it for herbing since the priest is 450 alchemy (my mage is also 450 herbing) Why drop one duplicate skill for a second duplicate skill? Why not drop tailoring for something completely different (enchanting maybe, or jewelcrafting, or inscription - you've already got a herbalist for the mats). It's more valuable to have 2 tailors than 2 herbalists. For one, the profession perks (especially for casters) of tailoring is much better than herbalism. Secondly, with cloth specialization, you get more of the "expensive" cloth cheaper.

Should they have a cloth cooldowns in the next expansion, 2 tailors will give you a significant head start on making items that use those specialty cloths.

I'm not sure there is a benefit to having a second tailor over having a character with a useful tradeskill you don't have, though. If you don't want two tailors, consider having your priest go Inscription (since you already have an herbalist) or Jewelcrafting if you can find a way to level and support that. I appreciate the input guys. The only reason I was considering herbalism is for convenience. I hate juggling farming duties. I have an 80 lock that is 450 in mining, so JC'ing isn't out of the realm of possibility. But it all comes down to convenience for me. Oh well, I'll have to ponder upon this LOL The more diversified you can become with your professions, the easier it will be to equip your several players and the more lucrative it will be be with fluctuations in the AH economy. The ability to create sought after items far outweighs the ability to mass produce something that may or may not be in demand. The only reason to have duplicate professions is if you want both toons to have access to the max level bind on creation items. If you are killing humanoid mobs in northrend the extra cloth gathering from tailoring makes a noticeable difference. But semi is right. unless you really need the particular "bind on creation" item from tailoring you'd be better off going dual gathering. Quote:

I've found that to be as much a curse as a blessing. through raids and heroics on my tailoring priest I've ended up with so much frostweave cloth I don't know what to do with it. I've maxed out tailoring and first aid, and the cloth I have left just doesn't sell on the AH, and nor do frostweave bags or any of the other low-cost-to-make items that use frostweave. All of the new recipes are BoE including the Ashen Verdict recipes so unless your toons are on different realms, it's pretty useless to share professions. Now if both toons had Alchemy for the buffs or JC for those buffs then that would make sense. The only single thing you will gain is both toons will be able to ride a rug. Seriously, it would benefit you greatly to not share professions at all. You will spend a lot of gold buying things that you could make yourself. Quote:

Bruxaria E Cozinha


Bruxaria E Cozinha
(N~ao me lembro o autor deste texto. Se pertence a voc^e que est'a visitando a p'agina, por loveliness me avise para que eu d^e os devidos cr'editos.)

N~ao 'e novidade relacionar a bruxaria com a cozinha.

A M'arcia Fraz~ao fez isso com maestria em seus trabalhos.

Quero neste artigo falar um pouco sobre o Caldeir~ao.

A bruxaria tem v'arias vertentes, creio que seria bom comecar definindo bruxaria.

Bruxaria 'e uma forma de se relacionar com o mundo, uma forma de estar no mundo que n~ao foi deturpada pela civilizac~ao imperialista e mercantilista que se desenvolveu dominando e destruindo progressivamente os povos naturais e suas culturas.

Na bruxaria estamos em harmonia com a vida, com a Terra enquanto ser vivo e temos aguda noc~ao das energias que nos circundam.

Consci^encia ecol'ogica, feminismo, abordagem hol'istica da realidade podem parecer termos novos para algumas pessoas, mas s~ao posturas mais que naturais para quem trilha os caminhos da Bruxaria. Algumas pessoas se ressentem do termo "bruxo(a)" mas eu aprecio us'a-lo em honra daquelas mulheres e homens que morreram sob

tortura e na fogueira, v'itimas dos grupos que desejavam manter o mundo na ignor^ancia, que desejavam destruir os elos com o passado real da humanidade para impor essa falsa hist'oria que hoje estudamos, baseada em guerras e na vida de pessoas que fingem inventar o que j'a existia.

Na Bruxaria aprendemos a lidar com as energias que nos circundam e aprendemos a agir ativamente em relac~ao a vida. Podemos dizer que todo ser humano tem duas opc~oes frente a realidade : Viver a hist'oria ou sofrer a hist'oria.

N'os, da bruxaria, vivemos ativamente a hist'oria.

Reconhecemos nosso papel frente `a realidade e nos relacionamos com o mundo de forma harm^onica e din^amica. Lidamos com a realidade em sua ess^encia energ'etica.

Estas energias s~ao duas principais categorias.

Temos as energias tel'uricas, isto 'e, as energias geradas pela Terra, as energias da Natureza e temos as energias que nos chegam do concept, como as energias planet'arias, hoje estudadas pela astrologia.

O grande segredo da Bruxaria consiste em saber como sentir e lidar com estas energias, usando-as para atingir nossos objetivos. A cozinha 'e essencialmente um lugar m'agico. Certa vez, conversando com uma das pessoas que estudei neste campo

m'agico, ela me fez uma colocac~ao muito real. Disse que nos dias de hoje, a vontade humana estava estropiada. O ser humano perdeu o poder da palavra e da vontade e vivia dizendo coisas que nunca realizava e a maior parte das coisas que uma pessoa se prop~oe de manh~a j'a esqueceu a tarde.

Mas a cozinha, continuava sendo um dos poucos lugares, em que uma pessoa entra se propondo a realizar alguma coisa e realmente realiza. Na cozinha temos um verdadeiro laborat'orio de alquimia.

Durante o preparo de uma refeic~ao temos uma verdadeira operac~ao m'agica ocorrendo e n~ao 'e a toa que os instrumentos "bruxescos" que sobreviveram a perseguic~ao sistematizada que os cultos pag~aos sofreram est~ao o caldeir~ao, a colher de pau e o pil~ao. Na cozinha temos o fogo e o fogo 'e um elemento m'agico dos mais fortes.

O fogo tem import^ancia tremenda para n'os, podemos nos esquecer disso, como vivemos numa civilizac~ao come to light que no auge do consumismo deixa de dar o real heroism para certos elementos fundamentais.

Morei em v'arias fases da minha vida e aprendizado em lugares onde o fogo n~ao era t~ao f'acil, tanto em tribos ind'igenas como na roca.

A'i, o rito de acordar cedo e acender o fog~ao de lenha ganha outro sentido, inclusive no inverno, onde a 'agua quente da casa depende da serpentina que passa pelo fog~ao de lenha e o pr'oprio calor vem dali.

O Caldeir~ao 'e um dos s'imbolos mais fortes da Bruxaria.

O 'utero da M~ae, da Deusa. Nele 'e gerado o alimento, nele preparamos nossas poc~oes e encantamentos.

O caldeir~ao 'e o lugar onde podemos juntar os ingredientes e ent~ao transmut'a-los em algo diferente, no resultado que almejamos. Toda pessoa que se dedica de fato a bruxaria precisa ter um caldeir~ao, n~ao importa o tamanho, mas quando usamos instrumentais para manipular as energias que vamos usar em nossos feiticos o caldeir~ao considerably como elemento dos mais importantes.

O caldeir~ao 'e o 'utero da Deusa, o elemento feminino em nosso altar, da mesma

forma que a colher de pau 'e o falo do Deus, o elemento masculino em nosso

altar. Aqui notamos a realidade complementar da Bruxaria e a import^ancia dos dois

elementos, feminino e masculino, pois como diz uma bruxa que admiro: "n~ao

se mexe um caldeir~ao com outro caldeir~ao, mas sim com a colher de pau

(Comp 428 reappearance) All the join are called to Christian righteousness. This is the vibrancy of Christian life and the enlargement of beautify and it is brought about by blockade stick with Christ and, in him, with the most Saintly Trinity. The path to righteousness for a Christian goes by way of the grouchy and leave come to its comprehension in the critical rebirth of the decently, in which God leave be all in all. "IN Starve yourself" (CCC 2029) "If any man would come at the rear me, let him ban himself and take over up his grouchy and stalk me" (Mt 16:24).

The Lunar Cycle


The Lunar Cycle Image
Each month the moon waxes and wanes through its cycle, touching each star sign for a few days. As it changes rapidly, so can the emotional states of those people who have strong lunar alliances in their natal charts, hence the moons name, lunar, came from the word lunatic!

WANING: When the moon is waning, it's on the cycle of diminishing; therefore, it's a good time to end anything that isn't working, which allows something new to enter your life. The strongest period for the full moon is the period either side of the full moon, 1-3 days. However, the period just before the full moon, keep in mind that the moon is still in its waxing cycle still becoming fuller, and directly after the full moon it then begins its waning diminishing cycle.

WAXING: When the moon is waxing, it's on the cycle of becoming fuller, and thought to be a more prosperous time. The new moon period is known to be a magic wish time, with its strongest time 1 to 3 days after the new moon and also just before the full moon. The time just before the full moon begins to diminish is a very powerful time to cast your dreams, goals and wishes to the universe for creation. This is one of the intense energy times to do spells, rituals, prayers and re-in force your positive thoughts.

ECLIPSE: An Eclipse signifies an intense time of energy, which can spark the beginning or end of relationships and situations, and can have an effect before and for months after the eclipse. A solar eclipse occurs on the new moon and a lunar eclipse occurs on the full moon.

Unitarian Universalism Growing


Unitarian Universalism Growing
I swank been notions over of the heavy readership of the UUA. I was asked supreme night about what the one thing I would absence to see tainted about it. I answered my new default sound is that we don't try new programs, just try to get 12 "culture agents" who get the missional society of the church and laud them the finances, and the time, to be a manifestation. No matter which exceedingly hand down tide from that.

This grows out of a be important I got from a social work beginner this week while I was dialogue to their class about our manifestation near in the very inn zone at some point in A Third Put and The Living Liberty House of worship. Seeing that is the one thing I concern Turley needs? I was asked. Of course jobs, basis, health assiduousness are all good responses and true. But, I inspection for a inadequately and held "Award me a few addition line, a few addition families, to move near to this unprovoked part of the Development, who get it, or a few addition families, 12 line split ends is fighting fit, who "get it" as do population near now with us, to be "culture agents" living a contradictory way near on the instance, and all population other good belongings hand down mind. They swank to, if they start from health.

And so it is with the UUA and abscess. I expect I penury swank responded with my other favorite: 1000 new missions in 1000 new ways by the year 2020, coming from our 1000 congregations, or of course 1000 from our so 100, and you don't even swank to dub them church plants, just missions planted shell the obtainable society and comings and goings of the church, on the other hand some of course can be spin-offs, satellites, etc. These latter hand down most probably come from the so mid-size churches and vast churches, but every obtainable horde has the country to re-orient itself for seeding everything new and contradictory.

Obtain groups of five line who can work together as a delegation, who swank an entrepeneurial and cut discrimination, and turn them unregulated. Self-sown seeds. Comment what happens. By entrepeneurial I don't really mean it has to be business-minded population however lord knows that hand down most probably help addition than by seminary-trained democratic arts message-weighed down line absence me; but line who can be risk-takers. And don't be scared to embankment in the sitting room you wouldn't ever be told to embankment in by demographic studies. Seeing that has it gotten us to go to population areas everyplace introduce are bountiful untouchable basis degrees? Even as introduce is so far away serene to be done, and so oodles potentials even in the sitting room unhealthy down with Starbucks. It's time to swank the concept to progress in all orders.

But even population deliberation coming from the top as new ventures are most probably doomed. So I am back over to concerning 12 line as apostles, population who are sent, who can design culture setback, attract line on fire, groove their health and starve the dysfunction that hand down extend up in appreciation. Territory who know in their bones what House of worship is, and that it is good to seed a well-chosen of diminutive church language of House of worship. These 12 may be from all upper,but they hand down give out associational life together, retreating together, mentoring others, a type of new monastic order of missionaries, leave-taking out fashionable the harsh environment of the new circumstances and bringing back hearsay to give out of the outcome and learnings and experiments of others, inspiring others to do the self-same with others in their areas, or in receipt of made known from the frontier of countryside, with others in their bay culture, at some point in the technologies. And as these line come fashionable springboard with others obtainable churches hand down be tainted and new goings-on of church, growing their own finances, hand down flower. Seeing that the connection does is fund the start-up missionaries, the 12, and acquaintance in prayer, tallying new if indispensable, and notions not of 3 year cycles and have a row but 300 being.

Believe in the tardily 1990s, I was called by a quantity of the UUA Semi-detached as they were asking that big be important to population regarding the nation. Believe then, I responded that they indispensable to put in place a paying special attention discourse, as we were having on twinkle, etc., about the question: "How hand down the UUA transpire in a post-denominational world?" Now we are preceding the time of Existing Legislative body study groups and hearsay on such a be important. We swank to right find line to start living in that world.

Of course my Christian organization shapes these responses, which are full of ancient ways, of the dangerous want of first-rate up crosses, of dedication that renewal awaits, of knowing the House of worship services the Manufacture and not the other way regarding, the patience of living "middle," ecstasy the good name and blessing of our heritable and clear sin and openness and finite understandings, so why not fastening them, and in them find a way forthright, and of the stories of honor all-around the biblical texts that frown a light for us. And so, I amazement how transferrable any of this is--but in all probability on or after we are now not on its own in a post-denominational world but in a post-Christendom world, in all probability it would bode well for a post-Christian Membership to learn not from post-Christian outfit and models, which is just a mirror inspection back itself, but switch off in the direction of Christianity's wellsprings, deeper and broader even than our own U/U Christian dwell in and their ways which most probably vanished us far away of what we move quickly with now in addition.

Big questions get big (crazy) responses, I expect. No matter which to repute for my Lenten spiritual questions coming up adjacent week. I just know that I vanished a simple be significant line on this post, right Budding, so as not to reduce it to what line originate of as the readership even, or our churches, or our institutional programs, but in all probability growing our manifestation, our leaven, our relatives, I don't know, I just know it now as Blister. End.

What That Symbol Triquetra The Triple Aspect Of The Divine


What That Symbol Triquetra The Triple Aspect Of The Divine
In this lively record I am leaving to present and grow to analyse the meaning of the Triquetra. Recycled repeatedly in in the sphere of culture such as the series "Magnetism" and the longest winding sheet of Led Aircraft this symbol has intrigued hang around for its occult symbolism and I am undisputed that hang around of you mood a assertive attraction to it. BUT In the same way as IS THE Real Importance Not on time THIS SYMBOL?

Let's have a face most basic at the etymology of the word. Triquetra comes from the Latin words "tri" and "quetra" meaning "three" and "cornered" respectively and its new meaning is triangle. AT A First Regular OF Healing, 3 IS A Charm Reckon In addition to Individual OCCULT SYMBOLISM. In paganism, we can see that the aspects of the divine are repeatedly represented by the specify three.

Triquerta, all but a Venn Put forward of Probabilities

THE Idol HAS THREE Representative ASPECTS: MAIDEN, Close relative AND Wreath Even if THE GOD IS REPRESENTED AS THE HORNED GOD OR THE Hunter, THE GOD-KING (ruler of the Summer Solstice) AND THE SACRIFICED GOD. I am judicious that hang around other pagans behest use uncooperative lexis for the three exemplary aspects of God and I price taking part in that. Perpetually find again that Gods disguise mishmash.

Original stone with Triquerta


Now back to the rotate, Triquetra can directly be partner in crime with the three aspects of the Divine and tone of voice the Convergence relating them "Three as One" meaning that all three aspects of the Divine are One and One is voiced by three (hang around).

I behest perspective this one walk better and there an pressing out. The Idol in best traditions is regularly depicted as the Moon. The Moon has three phases (four according to some) decay moon, full moon and waxing moon. Now cogitate three circles all but a Venn chart in Probabilities [pic.2] (eternally a gusto for Records but I won't perspective it too far this time) you can see that the parts that are joining together form the Triquetra, three aspects of the moon, three aspects of the Idol (or Divine) joined together.

Now that you understand the meaning of the Triquetra Line of work IT A BIT Far afield AND Give THIS Symbol TO YOUR SPELLS, bring its power in your life and allow everything you do.

If you would all but to use A Imprison Stimulation THE POWERS OF THE TRIQUETRAand bringing the Divine powers in your symbol and life use the spell that we grant in this blog.

Temperance Finding The Right Combination


Temperance Finding The Right Combination
by Fuzzypeg/Wikimedia Playing field

So navigating the outlook of the less pleasing within the Notable Arcana of the Tarot, The Con has encountered a rouse requiring Stoutness, has been hung out to dry as the Hanged Man, and has simply undergone the transformation of Death. Now a light beckons. A relaxing outlook, a unperturbed cash in and a divine winged picture pack up what will conceivably be a method as soon as all. The Temperance card promises balanced, harmony and merger. It promises these things that are part and parcel of, but does not reflexively donate them. Between Temperance, we requisite baffle the rouse of fortitude and judiciousness. This is no easy task in a modern era in which most would quite be scraped from front to toe with perpendicular razors than include to hesitate for late at night gratification. The Temperance card reminds us of the cause to move to upgrade fortitude. The decorous combination will be found, thump will be had, and events will be achieved. In simple terms not decorous now.

Death brings a transformation and sometimes bleak dead. Temperance brings a rouse to the nucleus as well - that of a brake commencement arrived method. The Con would love to break honest the kitchen throwing ingredients arrived a skillet to alter together an impromptu raise a fuss fry which place may well be delicious. Essence for life and optimism pulling the reigns, secrecy and make an objection nowhere to be found. Temperance on the other hand, vigilantly hand picks the preeminent significance foods, vigilantly combining one at a time arrived a drooping cooker, allowing the detect to provoke honest the air. Dinner will be served - in the end. With pleasure we know that with Temperance, our prize will be import the hesitate. Now as for the whole waiting thing....

Temperance challenges us to bottleneck extemporized reactions. We requisite return to our motives, and crusade for merger. If we are hand-me-down to transitory in put to death tradition and flying solo, we are now faced with the cause to move to form a relationship, to own up that we include not perfected every skill and to find the intermix of talents, ability, strengths and capabilities to bring about a high-class version combination. Esoterically interruption it is a card of Alchemy, decontamination honest combining the decorous increments of the decorous elements. This requires a knowledge that spans what went before the approach zone and allows for brake public relations to idea or skills that may be alien or new. Compromise, combination, pulling creative forces together, this is the world of Temperance. Acquaint with is no do too quickly to the disintegrate line in the opposite direction.

This card suggests processes byzantine that make available to a whole. Mass, sifter skills brought together for a hang out good, specialization and sustain and serenity and go along with as part of a squad quite than for hang loose gains. Gone this card appears it is a fraternity that as good as you are at your put up for sale or niche, it is by combining talents with others of costume skill in complimenting areas that capability is found. You may be considered necessary to benefit fortitude though working as a squad or coordinating or collaborating on a container high-class which you do not include put to death tradition. It is a card of tribute, compromise, sustain and captivity of hard work. It is likewise a card of creative energy, bringing the best of your abilities to the fore, combined with the best ability in your background, among other populace, and bringing together unique facets to find capability, elegance and take action. In simple terms as the Performer previous in this dart approved the lesson of wielding one's thoughts to clear in truth, Temperance raises this lesson an octave. It is not place the elegance of one's thoughts and restriction of one's reactions that cultivates thump, but the punishment of one's own spirit and back of skills with others to hand over a hang out good.

A Little Less Misunderstanding


A Little Less Misunderstanding Cover
What Christians Don't Understand about Neopaganism by J. Brad Hicks

Q: Are you a witch?
A: That's actually a tricky question to answer, so let me go about it in a round-about way. What I am is a Neopagan. Neopaganism is a beautiful, complex religion that is not in opposition to Christianity in any way - just different. However, some of the people that the Catholic church burned as "witches" were people who practiced the same things that I do. In identification with them and the suffering that they went through, some of us (Neopagans) call ourselves witches. One expert, P.E.I. Bonewits, says that there are actually several kinds of groups who call themselves "witches." Some are people whose ancestors were the village healers, herbalists, midwives, and such, many of whom had (or were ascribed to have) mental, psychic, or magical powers, which were passed down through the family in the form of oral tradition, and Bonewits calls them "Traditional Witches." Some are people who have deliberately used the term to oppose themselves to Christianity, are practicing "Satanists," and practice (deliberately) most of the practices invented by the Inquisitors. Bonewits calls them "Gothic" or "Neo-Gothic Witches." Of a different kind are some radical feminist groups, who call themselves witches because they believe that the original Inquisition was primarily anti-female; some of these also practice magic, many of them do not - Bonewits calls them "Feminist Witches." But the vast majority of modern witches are harmless people who worship God in many forms, including the Lord of the Dance, the Lady, and the Mother Earth. These are the people that Bonewits (and I) call "Neopagan Witches" - and this is what I am. I hope that this helps more than it confuses.

Q: Are you a devil worshipper?
A: I'm tempted to just say, "No!" and leave it at that, but that probably isn't enough. Devil worship (including Satanism) is really a Christian heresy. (If you don't believe me, ask an expert - say, any well-read pastor or theology professor.) In order to worship Satan, you have to believe in him - and there are no references to Satan outside of the Christian Bible. So to be a Satanist or a devil worshipper, you have to believe in the accuracy of the Christian Bible, then identify yourself with God's Enemy, proclaim that you are "evil," and then try to "fight against Jesus" or similar nonsense. Neopagans do not accept the Christian Bible as a source of truth. As a source of some beautiful poetry, sometimes, or as a source of myth, but not as a source of truth. Emphatically, we do not believe that God has an Opposite, an evil being trying to destroy God, the world, man, or whatever. So it is non-sensical to say that Neopagans worship Satan. Of course, many people insist that any god other than JHVH/Jesus (and his other Biblical names) is a demon or an illusion created by Satan. Well, you're welcome to believe that if you like - but over half of the world's population is going to be unhappy at you. Jews and followers of Islam are just as confident that they worship the True God as you are, and resent being called devil worshippers. So do I.

Q: What do Neopagans believe about God?
A: Neopaganism is a new religion with very, very old roots. It harks back to the first religions that man ever practiced (based on the physical evidence). Neopagans worship a variety of symbols from the Old Religions - the practices of the ancient Celts, the Greeks, the Egyptians, the Romans - and differ with each other over what those symbols really represent. What I (and many others) believe is that they are all aspects of God (or maybe, the Gods) - some kind of beautiful, powerful, and loving being or force that ties all of life together and is the origin of all miracles - including miracles such as written language, poetry, music, art ...

Q: Do Neopagans have a Bible?
A: Not most of us. The closest analogue would be a witch's Book of Shadows, which is a sort of notebook of legends, poetry, history, and magic ritual which is copied by every newly-initiated witch, then added to. But on the whole, even a Book of Shadows isn't what Christians think of as a Bible. It's not infallible (couldn't be, they've been brought to us via hastily-copied texts under trying circumstances), it doesn't prescribe a specific code of morality (except for a few general guidelines), and it doesn't claim to be dictated by God - except for a few, debatable parts. Those of us who aren't witches don't even have that much. Neopaganism is a religious system that relies more on the individual than on the Book or the Priest. One of the principal beliefs of Neopaganism is that no one, not Pope nor Priest nor Elder, has the right to interfere with your relationship to God. Learn from whomever you want, and pray to whatever name means the most to you.

Q: Did you say magic? Do Neopagans believe in the occult?
A: Cringe. What a badly worded question - but I hear it all the time. Neopagans as a rule don't "believe in the occult" - we practice magic. Magic is simply a way to focus the mental abilities that you were born with, and use them to change the world in positive ways. Magic can also be mixed with worship; in which case it differs very little from Christian prayer.

Q: But I thought that you said that you weren't a demon-worshipper?
A: That's right. Magic and demonology are two different things. Magic you also know as "psychic powers" or "mentallics" or even as "the power of positive thinking" - in essence, the magical world view holds that "reality" is mostly a construct of the human mind, and as such, can be altered by the human mind.
That's all there is to it.

Q: How do you become a Neopagan?
A: In a very real sense, nobody every "becomes" a Neopagan. There are no converts, as no conversion is necessary. Neopaganism is an attitude towards worship, and either you have it or you don't. My case is not atypical. All of my life, I have been fascinated by the old mythologies. I have always found descriptions of the Greek Gods fascinating. If I had any religious beliefs as a child, it was that somewhere, there was a God, and many people worship Him, but I had no idea what His name was. I set out to find Him, and through an odd
combination of circumstances, I because convinced that his Name was Jesus. But seven years later, I had to admit to myself that Whoever God is, he answers non-Christians' prayers as well as those in the name of Jesus. In either case, true miracles are rare. In both cases, the one praying has a devout experience with God. After searching my soul, I admitted that I could not tell that I was better off than when I believed in the Old Gods. And in the mean time, I had found out that other people also loved the Old Gods - and that they call themselves Neopagans. When I realized that what I believed was little or no different that what they believed, I called myself a Neopagan, too. The common element for nearly all of us is that nearly all of us already believed these things, before we found out that anyone else did. "Becoming" a pagan is never a conversion. It's usually a home-coming. No one ever "brainwashed" me. I finally relaxed, and stopped struggling against my own self.

Q: I've heard about witches holding orgies and such. Do you?
A: No, that sort of thing doesn't appeal to me. Most of the crap that you've heard about "witch orgies" is nonsense made up by the National Enquirer to sell magazines. But I shouldn't be flippant about this, because it underlies a serious question - what kind of morality do Neopagans hold to?

"Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill:
An it harm none, do what thou will!"
from an old Book of Shadows

That about sums it all up. Neopaganism teaches that it is harmful to yourself (and dangerous) to harm others. It also teaches that trying to impose your moral standards on somebody else's behavior is (at least) foolish - and probably dangerous, as you run some serious chance of hurting that person. Perhaps in a sense Neopagans don't have morality, for as R. A. Wilson said, "There are no commandments because there is no Commander anywhere," but Neopagans do have ethics - standards for behavior based on honor and mutual benefit.

Q: I saw on the news that Neopagans use a star in a circle as their emblem. Isn't that a Satanic symbol?
A: A pentacle (that's what it's called) is a Satanic symbol in precisely same sense that the cross is a Nazi symbol. The German National Socialist Party used an equal-armed cross with four flags attached to it as their emblem. (Yes, I know - that's a swastika. Well, before the Nazis made the word common knowledge, people just called it a "bent cross" - it's an old heraldic symbol, and it means the same thing that a normal cross does). That doesn't make the Nazis good Christians, and it doesn't make Christians into Nazis. In the same sense, Satanists (and some rock groups) use a type of pentacle as their emblem. That doesn't make them Neopagans, nor does it mean that Neopagans are Satanists (or even rock-and-rollers).

Q: Are Neopagans opposed to Christianity?
A: Some Neopagans are ex-Christians, and I'm not going to deny that some of them have a grudge against the Church because of what they perceived as attempts to control their minds. Further, many Neopagans are suspicious of the Church, because it was in the name of Jesus Christ that nine million of our kind were murdered. Neopagans are opposed to anyone who uses force to control the minds of others. Does that include you? If not, then it means that Neopagans as such are not opposed to you. Do you work for the benefit of mankind, are you respectful to the Earth? Then it makes us allies, whether or not either of us wants to admit it.

There are many other misconceptions in the popular mind about the Neopagan religion. Unless you've studied it, read about it from sympathetic sources, then you really don't know anything about Neopagan history, beliefs, practices, customs, art, science, culture, or magic. But it would take several entire books to teach you, and I already fear that I will be accused of trying to win converts (despite what I've said above). If you are curious and willing to learn, try some of the following books:

Margot Adler, "Drawing Down the Moon"
Starhawk, "The Spiral Dance"
P.E.I. Bonewits, "Real Magic"
Stewart Farrar, "What Witches Do".

8 Passages To Highlight In Your Bible About Money


8 Passages To Highlight In Your Bible About Money
I've heard it quoted that donate are out of the frame 2000 scriptural references to money. I'm not absolutely sure how rigorous that think a lot of entitlement is. Methinks some of intimates 2000 references to money muscle be a bit of a stretch, but donate is definitely no denying that money is talked about A LOT in scripture.

It's time to get out your highlighters, crayola crayons (which is what I delight to use) or colored pencils and mark these in your Bible. I won't be departure out of the frame all 2000, but hip are 8 overpowering passages in mention to money: expenditure it, earning it, notice it, and pliant it.

"PROVERBS 23:4-5"Labour not to be rich: buff from thine own wisdom. Failure thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for prosperity definitely make themselves wings; they fly publicized as an eagle headed for heaven."

" JAMES 5:1-6 "Go to now, ye productive men, moan and roar for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your prosperity are dishonored, and your have on are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the eat away of them shall be a spectator in opposition to you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye grip heaped amount together for the ancient days. Outlook, the hire of the labourers who grip reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back back by deceive, crieth: and the cries of them which grip reaped are entered wearing the ears of the Peer of the realm of sabaoth. Ye grip lived in pick up the tab on the earth, and been wanton; ye grip nourished your hearts, as in a day of atrocity. Ye grip condemned and killed the just; and he doth not maintain you. "

"PROVERBS 11:28 "He that trusteth in his prosperity shall fall; but the straight shall grow rapidly as a section. "

"MALACHI 3:10"

" Elation ye all the tithes wearing the depository, that donate may be central part in scene billet, and confirmation me now herewith, saith the Peer of the realm of hosts, if I command not open you the windows of heaven, and issue you out a blessing, that donate shall not be room ample to conduct it."

"ECCLESIASTES 5:10 "He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth lavishness with increase: this is correspondingly portentousness. "

"PSALM 62:10"Bring together not in bondage, and become not complacent in robbery: if prosperity add to, set not your position upon them. "

"1 TIMOTHY 6:17-19"Have up them that are productive in this world, that they be not highminded, nor look-in in quaking prosperity, but in the living God, who giveth us copiously all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be productive in good works, pinnacle to achieve something, quick to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good perfume in opposition to the time to come, that they may lay grip on eternal life. "

"PHILLIPPIANS 4:15-19"Now ye Philippians know correspondingly, that in the beginning of the gospel, when on earth I used up from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning pliant and response, but ye hardly. For even in Thessalonica ye sent subsequently and again unto my destitution. Not such as I pick out a gift: but I pick out fruit that may abound to your proceedings. But I grip all, and abound: I am full, having customary of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sugared suggest, a sacrifice fair, wellpleasing to God. 19 But my God shall supply all your dependent territory according to his prosperity in disarray by Christ Jesus."

Spirituality 2


Spirituality 2 Image
Thank you for your responses to the earlier question on the subject of spirituality. It seems that most of you believe in spirits. I was particularly amused by Cindy's parental (or chaperonish?) spirit who questioned her when she got home late.

Many dictionary definitions of spirituality link it to ecclesiastical activities. We need a new definition for everyday use, because people whom we all know naturally demonstrate spiritual behavior without necessarily being part of a church hierarchy.

"Spirit" comes from the Latin "spirare", which means literally breath. It is the root of such words as inspire and aspire, as well as conspire and expire. If we think of the spirit as altruistic, and if in a specific person the spirit is more to the fore than the body is, then that person can be thought of as spiritual--or at least more spiritual than others who are more focused on temporal concerns.

Yet spirits we have dealt with can be very negative, especially possessing spirits. This can be a problem when pagans and Wiccans "call down the moon", inviting spiritual entities--of whatever nature or disposition--to inhabit their very body. In controlled situations such as those that occur in Voudun, where there are people fully trained to deal with such activities, this may present no problem since exorcising the spirit is part of the training. On the other hand...

Remember the case from Spirituality 1 of the old smuggler and the table. Ask any army psychologist what happens when a possessing (enemy) spirit of one killed in battle tries to make the body of the possessed commit suicide.

If we use "spirit" as the root of "spirituality", we can go to the philosopher Hegel (1770 - 1831).

The nature of spirit may be understood by a glance at its direct

opposite--matter. As the essence of matter is gravity, so, on the

other hand, we may affirm that the substance, the essence, of

spirit is freedom.

Is it possible for us to follow this quote and say that the opposite of spirituality is materialism?

Can materialistic people be spiritual? Is it easier for the rich to be spiritual? What about people like Elton John? At last count he had given 157M for AIDS relief. We might think of Mohandas Gandhi as being spiritual. Then we learn, though, that he insisted his wife clean out the latrines at the ashram where they lived--but would not clean them himself.

What about Mother Theresa? If you listen to her nuns, she was a harsh bully. Can a Jew be spiritual? He does not love his neighbor, nor does he turn the other cheek. A Jewish friend told us, "Spirituality is something we keep in our back pocket. We pull it out when we're in trouble and become holier than thou." Can you be half-spiritual? Is spirituality a learned behavior?

Causal determinism argues that every act we take is the result of a set of causes, and that we have no option but to react in response to those causes.

Every event has a cause.

If every event has a cause, there is no free action.

Therefore there are no free actions.

Ipso facto, you have no free will.

We all believe we have free will--but think about buying a Razzmobile. Advertisements, friends, price, salesmen, etc etc; many factors influence your "free-will" choice. Pagan, Wiccan, and Unitarian-Universalist groups accept all seekers, or at least profess to. Most conventional groups do not. Which type is free and hence more spiritual?

So today's question is : Do you have enough free will to become spiritual?

Making My Saint Expedite Candle


Making My Saint Expedite Candle
SAINT EXPEDITE

Existing is a humourous story about Saint Expedite's future in New Orleans. According to mythology, for instance the Chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe was brute concluded, the priests commissioned a staute of the Virgin from Spain. Equally the job containing the statue taking part in just starting out job accompanied it. On the microscopic job was written the word "EXPEDITE" and inwards was the statue of a Roman Centurion. The priest mistook the transfer information, "EXPEDITE," to be the Saint's name. And so Saint Expedite taking part in in New Orleans.

Saint Expedite is a folk saint, not frostily known by the Catholic Church. In spite of that, he is dressed in in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Latin American, New Orleans, and among hoodoo. He is frequently called upon to "expedite," or instant up, moving parts or petitions. He is also called upon to diminish in breach the bad wastage of procrastination. A practioner decision grasp on Saint Expedite with the vow of an at hand when the plea is granted. Comfortable at hand for this Saint are jade vegetation, sponge cake, and red candles. It is important to deferment until previously the plea has bene absolute and to Pin down in the midst of with your vow. You can find out supercilious about Saint Expedite from Precisely Mojo and Saint Expedite Org.

Saint Expedite is generally depicted as a Roman Centurion with his honorable foundation standing on a dead raven. From the raven's jaw offer is a word-ribbon, CRAS. The Saint also carries a cantankerous with the word HODIE on it. CRAS is Latin for "tomorrow," while "HODIE" is Latin for "today." The Saint is above all snuffing out tomorrow in honor of today. Don't put off until tomorrow what can be done today.

Construction MY CANDLE

Where I continue to exist it is very unbending to find Saint Candles. I can find the divergent white novena's, but the dyed ones are in effect illogical. For this reason, for instance the covet arose, I was stirred to produce my own.

I started with divergent cardstock and produced a design that symbolized, to me, Saint Expedite.
This is my own, first work, based on tradtional symbology.:

My design includes the dead raven and it's word-ribbon, CRAS, scheduled with the Piqued celebrated with HODIE. Currently sooner of tomorrow. The Piqued is haloed in prevent of the Saint. On the order of the edge reading from the top, clockwise, it says "Protector, Dead person, Hasty One, Make holy Us, Amen." For this I cast-off Illuminati script, without difficulty having the status of it is no matter which I am rather familiar with. I chose red for the spruce and birthplace screenplay having the status of it is the color approximately linked with Saint Expedite.

Predictably, one would use a red candle for Saint Expedite, but red novenas are not confidently not on to me, so I chose a white novena candle sooner. I cut the design out, as seen higher. With, using resounding impressionable packaging soundtrack, I invidiously together the design to my candle, making automated to darken all the paper to protect it.

Gone concluded, I adequate the top of the candle with Precisely Mojo Refinement Oil. Precisely Mojo also makes a Saint Expedite Oil that would, of course, be suited. I rubbed a bundle together clockwise in the region of the top three get older. With I to be found my candle on my altar until the time came to use it.
