Anonymous Letter On Pyschosis And My Response


Anonymous Letter On Pyschosis And My Response
Manifestations of Psychotic EpisodesA typical psychotic repayment manifests itself in one or senior of the three at the back of ways:1. Hallucinations: believing whatever thing is near that actually is not near. Worry whatever thing alien and experienced that it is alien is not a apparition. The hallucinator perceives the voice; their pay attention says, "That's Dad profession me," with no be reluctant at all. The non-hallucinator hears the voice and says, "Possibly will that plausibly be Dad profession me? But he moved out a rendezvous ago." If you are not final what you heard or even if you stagger if it is a apparition, it is not a apparition. A hallucinator is in a straight line trusty (conversely they may like their suspicions later on). So, inside a psychotic repayment, you unexceptionally "endeavor voices." 2. Delusions: believing whatever thing is true that couldn't plausibly be true. I'm not expression about believing that Listings Clinton never had sex with Monica Lewinsky. I'm expression about physical impossibilities or affected things such as believing that you were born on Mars or that you are Jesus Christ come back to life.The upper limit arithmetic mean optical illusion is paranoia: point that gets way out of hand. You may be again and again frightened that bad gear desire attendance to you or that lineage desire gap or inform on you. You may courage up your gun every time you solution the entrance.3. Troubles Between CommunicationProbably the upper limit arithmetic mean thing that happens inside a psychotic repayment is that you like a lot of plague expression decent. Your words and sentences get tongue-tied -- all speckled up so a "word salad." Whichever manifest idiom or internment makes watchfulness, but they are out of order and you never logically get to the thinking.Can you publicize at lineage (or yourself) and see symptoms of mental illness? of psychosis?Psychosis? That can sometimes be easy to time. If a variety spellbound in a psychotic repayment comes out and tells you about his or her hallucinations or delusions, it can become more readily sturdy that they like psychiatric snag. A good right of thumb is: Don't try to diagnose personality unless it is necessary for way of life.YOU AND A FEW OF YOUR Solidify RESPONDENTS Propel A Refinement IN ALL THIS THAT IS In any case CLEAR!

Response:


1) I channeled a book-"heard voices". So did Jane Roberts, Edgar Cayce and others. In one of her books "Vision Politics", Jane Roberts discusses 'seeing" a creature in a merge. One level she "sees" this creature on out of the ordinary level she knows that is not "part of the real world". But she besides believes that it may take in "out of the ordinary world" or out of the ordinary "articulate of cite". And the merge creature inspires her as a rhymester. Previously I channeled I went clothed in out of the ordinary pass by of mind-like a dream or a thinking pass by. While I "heard or saw" in this pass by on mind is I wrote down. Moreover I "came out of it". This was true for Edgar Cayce and Jane Roberts. Put on is even a book by Sanaya Roman called "how to direct"? All of these populate "heard voices", but it is out of the ordinary pass by of mind.

So even conversely I like "heard voices" in other states of mind, I grip that I like a good manage on actuality so to speak and so do my readers, from what I know of them and what I can calm. Benefit from Jane Roberts, I what if that near are substitute levels of actuality. Sequence attention discusses this and so does quantum attention. On the whole, near are substitute layers or levels of the mind or actuality (once more I reiterate this is part of school attention and quantum attention). And I like in print in this blog that one definition of magick is the unplanned to walk consciousness as desire. Dion Fortune believes that one level of actuality "contains" out of the ordinary level. I know not. But community are her beliefs and they are charming to me. The astral even whatever thing that spend time at magickal lineage what if in. At what thinking does a belief become an apparition. Was Dion Fortune crazy? Were Edgar Cayce and Jane Roberts psychotic? They were well-mannered to "calm" one level of actuality from out of the ordinary. But they undoubtedly "heard voices". Did Seth (the voice that spoke thru Jane Roberts) exist? Well, "he" had not physical amount. But the theories that were in print by Jane Roberts thru Seth were and flush are charming. Jane Robert's inkling of "Track psychology" is besides charming. And Jane Roberts, Robert Butts and others held in the "Seth voice". I grip your definition of psychotic is half-done. Jane Roberts can see and talk down to her "visions" if you desire in her work as poet and rhymester. I grip a superior definition of psychotic is someone who cannot devise with normal reality-or cannot see between what is actuality and what isn't. Jane Roberts knew that her merge creature did not take in "this actuality". So she heard voices and was not psychotic. You encumber this a bit, saying that a psychotic is "in a straight line trusty" (in regards to their beliefs in the apparition). I would say that you like a very half-done understanding of psychology and once more that your definitions of half-done.

2) I do not what if that I am Jesus Christ and that I was born on Mars. I like not read at all from my readers that say they do either. Do I what if that lineage desire gap me? Well, I what if that sometimes in my course of essay road and rail network I may and most probably within my natural life get gap. Ego desire "gap" my atmosphere. Or somewhat my atmosphere desire "get gap" at some thinking. Is a belief in magick a affected idea? Host Wiccans and spend time at lineage what if in magick and the power of spells. But as well as once more spend time at lineage what if in the power of prayer. A Christian friend of haul out sees very as divergence between spells and prayers. Are all of these lineage deluded? I don't see this blog as being satiated with affected things. I do see it being satiated with things, concepts and constructs on metaphysics, magick, philosophy etc. One of the reasons I post your work is that it is an "idea". Person called 'a freak" is an idea. So I published that suggestion. And why did you associate me a "freak"? What I what if in magick? Well, I do what if in magick. And so do millions of lineage pagans, Wiccans etc. I organize magick mainly part of Jungian psychology. And that it "plumbs" the in short supply of the mind. Script are ways of communicating with "substitute levels of the mind". We dream in symbols. A spell is a discourse with one part of the mind to out of the ordinary part of the mind. In Freudian condition, a spell would be the Ego communicating with the unmindful or the id. Over, someone who held in substitute levels of the mind-Freud-reference query 1. Carl Jung besides held in the Communalist Unconscious-which constrain be the support attention of magick. That mainly if you go beefy masses clothed in the unmindful mind, you desire run clothed in "group mind". If the mind communicates thru symbols, and within your own mind is "group mind", as well as...conceivably near is a systematic basis for magick. It is possible to "clash" someone thru your own mind. It is an entrancing attention. On a very logical systematic level, it is undoubtedly possible for one variety to clash out of the ordinary variety. Over, reports can gap someone's plan. I don't know after feat magick, you live through stronger or senior well-mannered to place reports...or conceivably to effect your actions. You do a spell; you may walk your way of life or your actions (or reactions as the paradigm conceivably). You live through stronger, you "see thru" the other variety etc. I don't know the spell "inspires you"? I don't know the spell changes your perceptions of the play-offs.

3) I do not grip that I like been discussing my hallucinations. One thing I like tried to do is to plainly observe the substitute levels of the mind. For interpreter, I like had a homogeneous group of dreams about an "alligator huge" or X. I read Dion Fortune's book, and put briny and water in my room. In the dream once more near was the alligator, but this time with "maternal fairies and elves". Did the briny and water clash my dream? Well, it was a superior dream. Why was it a superior dream? I am not final. The alligator creature in my dream was "less powerful", "less demoralizing".

And out of the ordinary dream that night that I ability to remember is three projects to work on. I am currently in my life working on two projects. But Claim Some time ago THE Trust, an nearby of out of the ordinary plan came clothed in my day to day life. Was the dream precognitive? Are near substitute "levels" of reality? Are the substitute levels of actuality correlated? While are the correlations? How do the many levels interact? To me, magick is about asking questions-all the time and exploring substitute things and substitute watch over, and substitute problem processes. Magick and Wicca is a very practical religion-at least in my condition. You try a recipe" for X (in that paradigm it was to experiment with psychic protection), and X happens. Are their demons? I post a dream one day in my blog and I get a retort of an "alligator demon" which is looked species of so a combination of an alligator, loop, and spider. Was it a demon? While is a demon? Do demons take and if so how and why? These are my dreams. At the moment, I got a note down on what is the divergence between demonology and witchcraft. Well, it depends on how you practice witchcraft. According to Ancient Ravenwolf, a branded Wiccan-there are no such gear as demons. Demons are tactfully constructs of the Christian mindset. A witch of some luminary who does not what if at all in demons. According to Jane Roberts's philosophy, if I what if in demons, as well as they take. While you what if in manifests in your essay life. On the other hand, I had this dream...and I dreamt of this creature. While does it mean? I am willing to observe the concepts, and things with others. Samhain wrote about the demon and as well as said "I don't know if I what if in demons". Well, neither do I. But I desire grip on it. I desire organize it. I desire indulgence it. I conscious philosophy for spend time at time and grip of this as a place to potentially distribute things and concepts...with no soberness. To a short time ago organize substitute things. According to Plato a life unexamined is not value living. By when this things and concepts, I am examing my life, myself and my beliefs. Colin Wilson in the book, "The Occult" mainly says that the mind is the nearby approach of knowledge. That we know very as of its abilities. On the whole, instead of departure clothed in outer space, why not go clothed in "inner space". In this blog I am attempting to go clothed in "inner" space and like others join me for convention and search.

One thing about an weakness to language decent (your suggestion). Host era I moral write this and come forth it. Well, one thing that happens is that I DO like a life to alive and two if not three projects. This blog conceivably satiated with typos, run on sentences etc. Only this minute in the same way as I am very half-done in time. But mainly, my arguments are "systematic" even if you do not concede with them. One of the closing gear that you write is to NOT diagnosis personality, and as well as mainly you write that "we adopt lessons". On the whole you discursively diagnosis "us". You are feat what you are advising us not to do. I wrote of what Dion Fortune did and really synthesize it. I did not write the methods etc. This is what is in the book antiquated 1957. I myself do not wish to diagnosis personality. I was a short time ago inscription what she had done.

German Catholics Lose Church Rights For Unpaid Tax


German Catholics Lose Church Rights For Unpaid Tax
BBC News, 24 September 2012

The table of Catholics leaving behind the


House of worship has abruptly amplified

TAX ON GERMANY'S CHRISTIANS


- 25 million Catholics- Tax rate 5bn euros (2010)- 24 million Protestants- Tax rate 4.3bn euros- German folks 82 million

GERMANY'S ROMAN CATHOLICS ARE TO BE DENIED THE As it should be TO Religious COMMUNION OR Fervent Money IF THEY Visit PAYING A Distinct House of worship TAX.

A German bishops' reach a decision which has blameless come in the field of squeeze says everybody weakness to pay the tax - an recent 8% of their burial tax organize - inner self no longer be deliberate a Catholic.

The bishops benefit from been afraid by the table of Catholics leaving behind the House of worship.

They say such a get necessity be seen as a derogatory act v the community.

All Germans who are with permission registered as Catholics, Protestants or Jews pay a earnest tax of 8-9% on their almanac burial tax organize. The accuse was introduced in the 19th Century in reparation for the nationalisation of earnest feature.

"If your tax organize is for 10,000 euros, consequently 800 euros inner self go on top of that and your whole tax total inner self be 10,800 euros," Munich tax accountant Thomas Zitzelsberger told the BBC rumor website.

Catholics make up going on for 30% of Germany's folks but the table of congregants leaving behind the church swelled to 181,000 in 2010, with the expansion liable on revelations of sexual abuse by German priests.

Worried by their on your deathbed congregations, the bishops were in addition pushed in the field of action by a case relating a retired coach of church law, Hartmut Zapp, who announced in 2007 that he would no longer pay the tax but perceptive to ensue within the Catholic faith.

The Freiburg Academy didactic aimed he required to comply with praying and greeting Religious Communion and a deliberate compelling case amid Prof Zapp and the church inner self be off the Leipzig Federal Executive Encourage on Wednesday.

"This reach a decision makes strong that one cannot moderately dispose of the House of worship," Germany's bishops' resolution aimed halt week, in a resolve accredited by the Vatican.

'WRONG SIGNAL'

Unless they pay the earnest tax, Catholics inner self no longer be legitimate coarse sacraments, avoid ahead of time death, or work in the church and its schools or hospitals.

Inadequate a "sign of distress ahead of time death, a earnest means can be refused," the reach a decision states. Opting out of the tax would in addition bar staff from theater as godparents to Catholic children.

"This reach a decision at this while of time is really the inaccurate call by the German bishops who know that the Catholic church is in a fundamental conundrum," Christian Weisner from the masses Catholic ballot group We are House of worship told the BBC.

But a priest from Mannheim in south-western Germany, Shrink Lukas Glocker, aimed the tax was hand-me-down to do essential good works.

"In the company of playgroup, with homes for aged or unwaged, we've got really good matter so I know we ambition the tax to help the German testify to do good matter."

The same as the reach a decision closely bounds taken answer in the German Catholic House of worship, it does get entangled out some decorative for everybody behind a return to the alter ego.

Until now, any German Catholic who clogged allegation faced last excommunication. Excluding the trial laid out in the reach a decision are nearby to excommunication from the church, German observers say the word is cautiously avoided in the reach a decision.

Onabaphopfer


Onabaphopfer
[from http://www.nasz-dom.net/mars/baph-opfer.html ]

Baphomet & Opfer

From Opfer, Fenrir Vol. II, no 2

The word 'opfer' typically refers to the sufferer that occurs - charming
or beforehand - indoors certain rituals. Impart are, typically, two types of
opfer: (1) united with income to open a nexion (or recognition Entry), concerning
Aeons - what such an opfer(s) is considered supporting in terminology of the
vigor required;(2) make somewhere your home united with traditional beliefs re
the practicing of the handiwork.

('Opfers' united with death rituals form a third type.)

The microscopic type, according to tradition, was chosen like every 17 living and
this sufferer was regarded as supporting to give birth to 'the considerable make level -
in modern terminology, accumulation a nexion open (and as a result diffidence the united
senior the upper classes etc
). The chosen one was complete an honourary Holy man (this
type of opfer was incessantly male
) and hand over was a joining concerning him and one
or supplementary women, as Priestesses. This joining was a simple type of
'hierosgamos', and the offspring of the arrangement(s) were perfect well-hidden honour.
At the haughtiness itself, the chief of the opfer was disconnected and displayed -
generally for a night and a day (save for this instance may stand been longer in
the very faint in the same way as
). The Check was conducted outdoors in a blessed place
- repeatedly a circle of stones or mutiny top.

The chosen one was accomplished, given that of the sufferer, to partake of an acausal
status - becoming as a result an Imperishable. And so wild animals sufferer was
realistic, save for it is easy to judge that in forward-looking times, the opfer was
not so wild animals.

Commonly, this type goes back to Albion, and for example basic the
ritual was most probably a community career, it became supplementary not public. To the same extent
survives to the musical day (The Display of Recalling with 'opfer' final)
most probably reflects the crux of this support tradition practically than the
individual (the words, chants etc). This crux may be held in the character
of the Mistress of Broken up - legitimate of Baphomet, the Dim Idol. It
was to Baphomet that the sufferer was complete - subsequently a male opfer. Sincerely,
the whole haughtiness (of Recalling) can be seen as a celebration of the dark
goddess - the Broken up Mistress/goddess in her darker/violent/sinister aspect.
The disconnected chief was united with the revere of Baphoment - the cult
deriving from Albion - subsequently the traditional cartoon of Baphomet.

The recollection of Baphomet as the Bride of Lucifer/Satan most probably dates
from forcefully the 10th or 11th century, as does the use of the name
'Satan'/Satanas as the Earth-bound legitimate of the Dim Gods.

It is rich to revive that in support times (eg. in Albion indoors the
Hyperborean aeon
) hand over was no empty and/or fair tribute concerning the
glow and the 'sinister': the two were seen as level aspects of the
identical thing. And so, what we know as the Mistress of Broken up (the divinity) was
both what we now telephone Baphomet (the dark aspect) and Gaia (the Broken up
Blood relation
). In addition with the male aspect - Satan and Lucifer - or
Dionysus/Kabeiroi and Apollo. We now understand all such symbols as
unconscious/conscious projections onto reality (anyplace reality = the
fringe of causal/acausal mergence
) - as 'gates'/nexions to the acausal
itself, with the seven spheres of the Tree of Wyrd heart a piece of these
gates simple by 'non-Adept' consciousness. And so, the responsibility of
Mercury re-presents Lucifer/Satan - Mercury, Mars and Sun heart "male"
spheres, and moon, Venus, Jupiter the "female" ones (Saturn beyond such
opposites - Aver itself
).

The cult of Baphomet was the revere of the dark aspect of the "female"
energies - anyplace in this context, revere path a striving in the direction of
understanding/conscious unification. Traces of the revere of the glow
aspect become rough in the Septenary tradition in the name "Aktlal Maka" and the
natural form of the Nine Angles rite. The darker aspect survives, in
crux, in the Display of Recalling and the traditions united with
the Mistress of Broken up and Baphomet. As to the inexperienced name of the goddess
in both her aspects, hand over is a tradition which gives 'Darkat' (prompt form
of Lilith
) as the name used early Baphomet became the community expend.
Allay, 'Azanigin' has likewise been optional - as has 'Aktlal Maka' for the
'light'/Gaia aspect, save for both these are just 20th century
suggestions, not based on any unrecorded tradition. A few aspects of the cult of
the (dark) goddess are said to stand survived inwards Greek times in the form
of the hush-hush cults' (qv Kabeiroi - and likewise Eleusis for the glow
aspect
), this heart an slanting patience, the original Septenary
tradition heart a curve one, from Albion.

The use of the name 'Baphomet' most probably derives from the 10th or 11th
century save for the traditional illustrative cartoon of Baphomet is
without difficulty widely uninspiring. If hand over was an unrecorded tradition partnered with the
origin of the name Baphomet, it has been lost.

And so, hand over are no indications as to the inexperienced names of the glow
and dark elements on the male side - municipal to us as 'Lucifer' and
'Satan'. These later names most probably likewise transfer from forcefully the 10th or
11th century - save for 'Karu Samsu' (or something very harmonizing) has been
optional for the 'Lucifer' aspect and 'Sapanur' as the dark aspect.

The income united with the principal type of opfer - such as 'The Gloomy
Art - cannot be either not in with realism or seen to be consequential from
an support tradition. In all vista, they transfer from the 12th or 13th
century, save for it is sooner realistic that support versions/forms existed.
A few

stand even considered The Gloomy Art as a forward-looking transformation of the
Display of Recalling. Once more, if hand over was an unrecorded tradition, it has been
lost - all that wreck are the rituals themselves.

The 'Black Heap itself (and with conviction maximum of the imperial rituals in The
Black Deem of Satan
) most probably originated forcefully the identical time as the
Gloomy Art. The inexperienced Heap was said in Latin, save for by the
portend of the 20th century a translated transformation had found its way inwards the
Black Deem - of want, save for some Latin chants remained.

NOTES: The implication of the 17 engagement arrangement is darken. In the in the same way as few
decades, some theories stand been advanced, but they are unsettled.

Aktlal Maka is a chant sometimes used in the natural Nine Angles Check by
the Priestess if the glade has a anyhow of water. It path 'the gentle
waters of Broken up and is chanted in homage to Gaia being natural springs are
regarded as her children.

The 'mysteries of the Kabeiroi' (sometimes spelt Cabiri) is one of the
esoteric traditions united with the Hellenic Aeon. In its inexperienced
form, 'the mysteries' occupied certain deities repeatedly represented in the
form of griffins and partnered with the sea as well as Demeter - the
blood relation Broken up or Gaia. According to esoteric tradition, the mysteries
occupied the Dim Gods - in diverse 'shapechanging' forms - and relative
how Demeter gave the principal Initiates of this tradition a crystal (forward-looking
admired at a tombstone finish Thebes anyplace a sacred grove to Demeter existed)
as well as selection how an accomplice, floor diverse Resources which labyrinthine
Gaia, women, sacred marriage and so on, could be altered to a level
realm of consciousness. This coins, as in other Greek Undisclosed
Cults, was achieved specifically floor individual link in
ritual/ceremonial action repeatedly of a mythological brand.

Later, this tradition became cleft - Eleusis on behalf of the
'Apollonian' element, the Kabeiroi the 'Dionysian' or darker aspects, for
it is said that all Initiates of the Cabiri had to stand powerfully built a wickedness
higher than community ones.

The mysteries of the Kabeiroi were repeatedly all-inclusive in hill shrines
(certain combinations of control and secret water heart regarded as
sacred - that is, practical by their magickal power of transforming the
consciousness of those (cf. diverse sacred sites of the Yezidi who
upheld a supplementary speechless transformation of Dim Gods tradition
) and to coverage these
shrines was considered part of the cage of Leave.

Greeks called the Kabeiroi the well-hidden gods'.

PLANETS IN SIXTH HOUSE


AS TAKEN FROM BEPIN BIHARI BOOK.

* SUN PRODUCES A VERY DEEP-ROOTED IMPACT. IT DESTROYS ALL IMPEDIMENTS TO THE FLOWERING OF THE NATIVE'S INNERMOST UNIQUENESS. WHEN THE SOLAR RAYS SPARKLE AND STRENGTHEN THE SOUL PRINCIPLE IN MAN, NO OTHER CONDITIONING CAN OBSTRUCT ITS CLEAR IMPULSES. THE INNER MAN MUST HAVE HIS WAY; EXTERNAL CONDITIONS MUST ADJUST TO INNER ONES, AND THUS THEY DISSIPATE AND FALL ASUNDER. FROM AN ORDINARY POINT OF VIEW, THIS MAY SEEM TO BE A DESTRUCTION OF PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL BARRIERS. THE SUN IN THE SIXTH HOUSE ENABLES THE INDIVIDUAL TO ACHIEVE VICTORY OVER HIS ENEMIES, A SUCCESSFUL TERMINATION OF LITIGATION AND DISPUTES, AND EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS TO FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES. HOWEVER, THERE MAY BE KIDNEY TROUBLES OR OTHER SUCH AILMENTS, ESPECIALLY OF THE NAVEL REGION. PSYCHOLOGICAL MATURITY AND SELF-RELIANCE ARE ACQUIRED ALONG WITH A FEELING OF PERSONAL ISOLATION. AT TIMES, EVEN THE GOVERNMENT IS UNHELPFUL AND ANTAGONISTIC. THE NATIVE MAY DECIDE TO LIVE AWAY FROM HIS HOMELAND. WITH THIS COMBINATION, A VERY ENIGMATIC SITUATION ARISES: PEOPLE AT LARGE EXPRESS TREMENDOUS GOODWILL AND SYMPATHY FOR THE INDIVIDUAL, BUT THEY CANNOT ESTABLISH EMPATHY WITH HIM. THUS HE MAY SOMETIMES FIND HIMSELF ON THE PSYCHOANALYST'S COUCH UNLESS HIS NATAL CHART IS BASICALLY STRONG.

* MOON IN THE SIXTH HOUSE, THE INDIVIDUAL IS DOGGED WITH PERSISTENT DIFFICULTIES. OFTEN HIS PERSON IS ENDANGERED AND HE IS MIXED UP WITH CRIMINALS AND ANTI-SOCIAL ELEMENTS; HE SUFFERS GREAT FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES AND IS EVEN INVOLVED IN PUBLIC LITIGATION. HIS PHYSICAL HEALTH MAY NOT BE STRONG, BUT THERE WILL BE GREAT MENTAL EXPANSION, INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT AND MORAL STAMINA. EVEN DURING PERIODS OF ACUTE PHYSICAL AND FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY THE NATIVE WILL SUCCEED IN SECURING HELP FROM PROVIDENTIAL SOURCES. SUCH AN INDIVIDUAL WILL CONTRIBUTE MUCH TO SOCIAL PROGRESS AND COMMAND GREAT RESPECTABILITY, BUT PERSONALLY HE WILL HAVE MUCH TO COMPLAIN OF.

* MARS IN THE SIXTH HOUSE IS CONSIDERED HELPFUL; IT HAS A GREAT DESTRUCTIVE FORCE WHICH ENABLES THE INDIVIDUAL TO TRANSCEND ALL SORTS OF DIFFICULTIES. EVEN IF THE INDIVIDUAL SOMEHOW, SOMEWHERE, GETS INVOLVED IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS, HE EMERGES UNSCATHED; AFFLICTED BY PHYSICAL SUFFERINGS, HE MAY EXPERIENCE A SUDDEN CURE. PEOPLE IN GENERAL MAY FIND HIM TIGHT-FISTED, BUT HE WILL NOT BE ENCUMBERED BY DEBT. MARS IN THE SIXTH INDUCES A GREAT DEAL OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY; EVENTS MAY HAPPEN SO FAST AND FROM SUCH UNEXPECTED QUARTERS THAT THE NATIVE MAY FIND HIMSELF IN A WHIRLWIND, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. IN THE PROCESS, HE WILL DEVELOP FORTITUDE, ADAPT-ABILITY, AND LEADERSHIP. THERE IS OFTEN A FEELING OF MARTYRDOM IN SUCH A PERSON; HE MAY BLEED PHYSICALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY. HIS LIFE EXPERIENCES MAY MAKE HIM RIGID AND OPINIONATED.

* MERCURY HI THE SIXTH COMPLETELY UPSETS THE PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL LIFE OF THE INDIVIDUAL. HE EXPERIENCES SO MANY INNER OR SUBJECTIVE CHANGES THAT HIS OUTER OR PHYSICAL RELATIONSHIPS ARE SUBJECT TO SEVERE TURBULENCE. HIS MIND IS SO STIRRED UP THAT THERE IS NO SOCIAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL STABILITY FOR HIM. SUCH A PERSON MAY BE CATAPULTED FROM ABJECT POVERTY TO REGAL SPLENDOR, BUT HE CANNOT HOLD ONTO ANYTHING. THERE MAY BE PHYSICAL DIFFICULTIES, SEXUAL EXPERIMENTATION, AND MARITAL INCOMPATIBILITY LEADING TO SEPARATION, DIVORCE, OR SEXUAL ABUSE. BUT THROUGH ALL THESE VICISSITUDES, SIGNIFICANT PSYCHOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION AND A WIDENING OF AWARENESS AND GREAT INSIGHT INTO LIFE CAN BE EXPERIENCED WITH MERCURY IN THE SIXTH HOUSE.

* JUPITER. IT BESTOWS RENOWN AND FINANCIAL ASSETS, BUT THE PERSONAL LIFE OF THE NATIVE IS FULL OF TURMOIL. HE MAY NOT ENJOY THE SATISFACTION OF A HARMONIOUS MARRIED LIFE. FINAN-CIALLY HE NEEDS ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TO ACHIEVE STABILITY; EXPENDITURES EX-CEED INCOME. GENEROSITY OF HEART, AN EXPANSIVE TEMPERAMENT, AND THE DESIRE FOR STATUS WILL PROPEL THE INDIVIDUAL INTO VARIOUS SOCIAL ACTIVITIES. HE WILL INVARIABLY SUFFER FROM UNDEFINED CRAVINGS WHICH MAY GIVE HIM POPULARITY, CREATIVITY AND SOCIAL STATUS, BUT A DEEP-ROOTED SENSE OF INFERI-ORITY WILL BE INNATE IN HIM.

* VENUS CREATES PROBLEMS WHEN PLACED IN THE SIXTH. ALTHOUGH THE INDIVIDUAL UNDER ITS INFLUENCE LEARNS TO UNFOLD HIS CAPACITIES BY ASSOCIATING HIMSELF WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEOPLE, THESE ASSOCIATIONS CREATE SOCIAL AND PERSONAL DIFFICULTIES FOR HIM. OFTEN HIS MARITAL LIFE IS IN JEOPARDY, HE BECOMES INVOLVED IN BAD BUSINESS AND DEBT, AND AT TIMES SUFFERS FROM VENEREAL DISEASE. HE HAS NO CONTROL OVER HIS EXPENDITURES. HE LEARNS HIS SPIRITUAL LESSONS WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY BUT DEVELOPS A SENSE OF DETACHMENT AFTER MUCH PHYSICAL, FINANCIAL AND MORAL SUFFERING.

* SATURN IN THE SIXTH HOUSE PRODUCES SEXUAL PROBLEMS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL SEX WILL BE A VERY UNORTHODOX KIND OF EXPERIENCE FOR THIS NATIVE, BUT OUT OF IT THERE MAY ARISE A REALIZATION OF HIS SPIRITUAL NATURE. DEPRIVATION OF A NORMAL SEX LIFE AND A TENDENCY TOWARDS BIZARRE OR UNUSUAL RELATIONSHIPS ENABLE HIM TO SECURE SPECIAL GIFTS FROM UNEXPECTED AND UNKNOWN QUARTERS WHICH REMOVE MANY OF HIS PERSONAL DIFFICULTIES. HE MAY NOT ALWAYS SUCCEED IN RELATING THESE TWO EVENTS, BUT BOTH ARE IMPELLED BY SATURN. SUCH AN INDIVIDUAL IS NOT NECESSARILY ATTRACTED TOWARDS AN UNUSUAL EXPRESSION OF SEXUALITY, BUT THE PROBLEM OF SEX AFFECTS HIS MENTAL BODY VITALLY, AND IN SOME PECULIAR MANNER REVEALS TO HIM THE MYSTERIOUS ASPECTS OF HUMAN MOTIVATION. FOR BETTER OR WORSE, HIS PERSONAL LIFE IS VITALLY AFFECTED BY THESE EXPERIENCES. HE SUFFERS FROM SOME PHYSICAL AILMENT WITHOUT EXPRESSING HIS PAIN TO OTHERS; HIS DOCTORS MAY NOT SUCCEED IN TREATING HIM EASILY. IN SPITE OF SUCH PERSONAL ANGUISH AND SORROW, THE INDIVIDUAL WITH SATURN IN THE SIXTH HOUSE ENJOYS GREAT RENOWN AND SOCIAL ESTEEM.

* RAHU PRODUCES GREAT SUSTAINING POWER WHEN PLACED IN THE SIXTH HOUSE. EVERY PHYSICAL IMPEDIMENT IS MYSTERIOUSLY REMOVED, SUCCESS IN TEMPORAL ENDEAVOURS IS ASSURED, AND DIPLOMATIC SKILL IS DEVELOPED TO A CONSIDERABLE EXTENT. THE INDIVIDUAL MAY NOT HAVE MUCH IDEALISM IN HIS LIFE AND MAY EVEN KEEP UNDESIRABLE COMPANY. HE WILL FEEL THE ALLURE OF UNETHICAL, DISRESPECTFUL OR FORBIDDEN ACTIVITIES.

* KETU IN THIS POSITION AFFECTS THE MENTAL PRINCIPLE IN MAN AND ENABLES HIM TO DEVELOP THE POWERS OF ABSTRACT THINKING. DEEPER LEVELS OF CONTEMPLATION OFTEN LEADING TO THE HIGHER REALMS WHERE ONE SOLVES THE ABSTRUSE PROBLEMS OF ONE'S INNER LIFE, MAY RESULT FROM SUCH A COMBINATION. THE INDIVIDUAL UNDER THIS PLANETARY INFLUENCE MAY ACHIEVE A REMARKABLE CONCEPTUALIZATION OF ABSTRACT PRINCIPLES AND A FORMULATION OF UNIVERSAL LAWS, BUT THE PROBLEMS OF LIFE ARE LIKELY TO MAR HIS THINKING. THE FINAL DAYS OF SUCH AN INDIVIDUAL ARE OFTEN SORROWFUL, FULL OF PHYSICAL SUFFERING AND A REALIZATION OF THE FUTILITY OF HUMAN ENDEAVOUR HE EXPERIENCES ENORMOUS DIFFICULTIES IN HIS LIFE, AND CONSIDERABLE HUMILIATION DURING MAJOR PERIODS OF HIS EARTHLY EXISTENCE.

10 Authors Every Wiccan Should Read


10 Authors Every Wiccan Should Read Image
Top 10 Authors You Need To Read. The following people are some of the most well-known authors in the fields of magic, the occult, Paganism and Wicca. While not everyone agrees with everything these authors have written, reading their work will give you a greater understanding of the history of Paganism and Wicca in the modern era. Although this isn't a comprehensive list, it's a good starting point for anyone who's interested in reading more about Wicca and Paganism.

1. Adler, Margot

Margot Adler is a highly respected columnist and journalist for National Public Radio. In 1979 she joined NPR as a reporter, and covered controversial topics such as the right to die and the death penalty in America. Later on she became a Harvard fellow.

In the eighties Adler covered a number of diverse topics – from making a documentary about AIDS patients in San Francisco to reporting on the Winter Olympics in Calgary and Sarajevo. She occasionally pops up as a guest commentator on shows like "All Things Considered", which is a staple for NPR listeners, and is the host of the network's "Justice Talking".

2. Buckland, Raymond

Raymond Buckland is one of the greatest living influences on modern Pagans and Wiccans. He began studying spiritualism in his native England as boy. He began studying Wicca and developed a correspondence with Gerald Gardner himself. He was initiated in Scotland in 1963.

After leaving the Gardnerian tradition, Buckland formed Seax-Wica, based on the culture of the Saxons. He spent several years teaching and training other witches through the Seax-Wica Seminary, and eventually turned to solitary practice. Many people credit his work with getting Wiccans "out of the broom closet".

3. Cunningham, Scott

The late Scott Cunningham is probably second only to Ray Buckland when it comes to the volume of information he has published on Wicca and witchcraft. As a college student in San Diego Scott developed an interest in herbs, and his first book, Magickal Herbalism, was published by Llewellyn in 1982. It has since become known as one of the definitive works on the use of herbal correspondences in magick and witchcraft.

In 1990, Scott Cunningham became ill on a lecture tour, and his health gradually deteriorated. Although he went home and continued to write more books, he eventually passed away in 1993.

4. Curott, Phyllis

Phyllis Curott obtained her law degree from NYU’s School of Law, and has worked as an attorney with a focus on civil liberties, which she continues to do today. She was one of the founding members of the Religious Liberties Lawyers Network, which provides legal assistance and resources for cases stemming from First Amendment religious issues.

She was initiated into Wicca in 1985, after many years of studying Goddess traditions. Her first book was published in 1998. In addition to writing, she has spoken around the world about such matters as religious freedom and the rights of women.

5. Farrar, Stewart and Janet

Janet and Stewart Farrar met in 1970, when twenty-year-old Janet was initiated into the coven of Alex Sanders. Stewart had been initiated into the Sanders' coven early in 1970. Stewart and Janet broke away to form their own coven that same year and spent some time building their group. They were handfasted in 1972 and legally married a few years later. Stewart wrote a book entitled What Witches Do, and became a vocal proponent of Wicca.

In the mid-seventies Stewart and Janet left Britain and moved to Ireland, forming a new coven and collaborating on several books which have become staples for modern pagans.

6. Gardner, Gerald Brousseau

An initiate of Aleister Crowley, in 1949, Gerald Gardner published the novel High Magic's Aid, which was in fact not really a novel but a disguised version of Gardner's Book of Shadows. A few years later, Gardner met Doreen Valiente and initiated her into his coven. Valiente revamped Gardner's Book of Shadows, eliminated much of the Crowleyan influence, and worked together with him to create a huge body of work that became the foundation of the Gardnerian tradition. In 1963, Gardner met Raymond Buckland, and Gardner's HPs, Lady Olwen, initiated Buckland into the Craft. Gerald Gardner died of a heart attack in 1964.

7. Leek, Sybil

According to Sybil herself, she was born in 1922 in Staffordshire, into a family of hereditary witches (reports from around the time of her death say she was actually born in 1917). She claimed to trace her mother’s family of witches back to the time of William the Conqueror. Leek was initiated into witchcraft in France. She later joined her family near the New Forest, and then spent a year living with the Gypsies, who welcomed her as one of their own. Later in life, Sybil Leek became publicly known as a witch, and traveled the world giving talks and interviews about the subject before settling down in America.

8. Leland, Charles G.

Leland was a folklorist who wrote several books about English Gypsies. His early years were spent in America, and legend has it that shortly after his birth an old family nurse performed a ritual upon him, which was to bring him good fortune and that he would become a scholar and wizard. In addition to collecting exotic occult objects, Leland was a prolific writer and produced over fifty books during his lifetime, some of which influenced Gerald Gardener and Doreen Valiente. He died in 1903, before completing the bulk of his work on Italian Witchcraft.

9. Murray, Margaret

Margaret Murray was an anthropologist who became well known for her theory of a pre-Christian European religion. Margaret became recognized as a competent Egyptologist and folklorist and was influenced by works such as James Frazer’s Golden Bough. After evaluating the records of the European witch trials, she published The Witch Cult in Western Europe, in which she posited that witchcraft was far older than the middle ages, that it had in fact been a religion of its own, existing long before the Christian Church came along. Many of her theories have since been debunked by scholars, but her work is still noteworthy.

10. Starhawk

Starhawk is the founder of the Reclaiming Tradition of Wicca, and an environmental activist. In addition to writing numerous books about Paganism such as The Spiral Dance, she is also the author of several speculative fiction books. She is also co-author of Circle Round, a must-have for anyone raising kids in pagan traditions. Originally born Miriam Simos, Starhawk has worked as a consultant on a number of films, but spends most of her time writing and working for environmental and feminist causes. She travels regularly, teaching others about caring for the earth and global activism.
