Anonymous asked: Thank you so much(: Also, it has only happened once from people I don't like. One time I wanted to have a day off from school and a faculty member that I didn't know died and we had that day off. These and may other occurrences led me to this path because somehow I always knew I had powers. I would very much love to channel my powers to heal and I will definitely check out that book(:

The onset of the year 2012 draws us closer and closer to the ‘end’ of the Mayan calendar. According to some, it is to be the “end of the world”. In fact, many scholars who study the stars, and the Mayan culture, have stated (including supposed “prophets”) that there will be a great change. This…

I attended a dinner party one evening that erupted into a lengthy debate on the term Satanic Witch. One of the attendees was in fact, a Satanic Witch, the rest were agnostics, Christians and Wiccans. The conversations went something like this.
Can a witch be “Satanic”? But more importantly, what…

Anonymous asked: Hello(: I'm 15 and exploring my spirituality and I've come to believe that I may have strong powers.I have accidentally hurt people not directly wanting to hurt them. For example, in third grade I did not want a girl in my class and over the summer she fell off of a boat and became paralyzed. Many instances like this have happened before so I have ruled out coincidences. Similar things...
Anonymous asked: I know my faith but I have a question. There is a nasty energy following me around, my family and is causing my anxiety level to go off the charts. I've been afraid to do spells or anything because I fear it could feed off the energy, I was told this could happen. Is it so? I need this energy to leave my home and me and my family alone but it frightens me to no end. With my spirituality there...
cygnes-sauvages asked: Hello again! Well, I don't practice magic myself, but I'm a strong believer (though I'm a christian, wich may sound kinda odd) and a quick learner. And you're right, I'm freaking out with all this negativity in my life! I'm so tired of all this bad things that keep happening to me and to the ones I love... So, any tips of what I can do? Any books that I can read...
cygnes-sauvages asked: Hi! I think someone is using dark magic against me and my family. I don't really if it's magic or just a psiquic vamp but I just feel a very big amount of bad energy in my life. It's not a recent thing, but lately it just keeps getting worse and everything goes wrong in me and my family's life. It's really too much and overwhelming and we don't know what to do. We...

depravedduchess asked: I'm on a new journey/pathway in life. I'm not exactly sure where I'm going but I know I'm starting at the beginning which will give me the direction I need to move forward. Can you direct me to some good articles or possibly old posts of your own concerning the correlation between Pagan/Heathen Deities and icons Christians Saints and icons? Thank you =]
The Green Wolf: We ARE the Elements! →
thegreenwolf:
Over the years I’ve run into a number of pagans who feel that they simply CANNOT connect to a particular element. Usually it’s because they’ve looked at whatever of the four classic Western elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) is associated with their Sun sign in Western astrology and decided that…

WITCH AS MEDIUM
I feel in many ways that my witchcraft has facilitated my (at present, fledgeling) mediumship, or at least paved the path for me to go deeper into this realm of study. As a child I was brought up by a Spiritualist woman exploring her own mediumistic abilities, and surrounded by her medium friends. I saw invited spirit possessions of women by their benevolent spirit guides, sent to chat with us and...

sacredcircle:
I just saw something disturbing on my dash. Someone said, “Witchcraft is NOT a religion!” What’s odd about this statement is that it was made by someone who then claimed to be a regularly practicing witch.
Okay, call me old-fashioned, but… that’s so bloody backwards it makes me want to cry.
Witchcraft is first and foremost a religion, to quote Raymond Buckland. It is the...
