Religion Belief

AP 10/28 1245 Inmate’s Witch
ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) — A prison
inmate and the superintendent are
awaiting advice on whether the
prisoner’s minister — a witch — can
worship with him.
Prison Superintendent William McRae
said he asked the state attorney
general’s office to determine if
witchcraft can be considered a religion.
Even if it is, he said, Robert Edwards’
request would violate a policy
recommending that inmates not convert to
another faith after they enter prison.
Edwards, 35, who listed himself as a
Protestant when he entered St. Cloud
Reformatory five years ago for a
16-year, nine-month sentence for
second-degree murder, says he’s being
persecuted for his religious beliefs.
“Someone once said, What man does
not understand, he seeks to destroy,”’
he told the St. Cloud Daily Times in an
interview published Monday. “I think
that’s what’s happening to me in this
situation.”
Edwards said he began corresponding
with Antiga, a practicing witch and
licensed minister, about six months ago
after he saw her on a TV program. He
said he thinks officials are stalling
because they misunderstand witchcraft,
which he said has nothing to do with
Satanism or the occult.
Witchcraft, Antiga said, is an
ancient Earth-honoring religion that
predates Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism
and Hinduism and takes its inspiration
from nature, the movement of the planets
and the cycle of the seasons.
McRae said witchcraft has evil
connotations for him.
“I don’t rush out and embrace
witchcraft or Satanism or voodoo, or any
of those things. They seem more founded
on evil than good. Therefore, I don’t
see any advantage to inmates or to
myself in having them in here,” he said.
The rule against inmate conversions
is recommended by the state Chaplaincy
Advisory Committee to protect vulnerable
prisoners, McRae said. If the attorney
general says witchcraft is a religion,
he said, he may appeal to the Chaplaincy
Advisory Committee, which advises
prisons on religious matters.
If the attorney general’s office
decides witchcraft is not a religion,
then McRae said, he would not allow
Edwards to have a ceremony.
AP 10/31 0244 Prison Witchcraft
By LAURA WILKINSON Associated Press
Writer
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A prison inmate
won a fight to have a witch perform a
ritual in his cell after corrections
officials decided he has a right to
worship as he chooses.
Robert Edwards, serving time at the
Minnesota Correctional Institution in
St. Cloud for a second-degree murder
conviction, was granted permission
Thursday to have a witch visit him.
“It seems to me appropriate that the
prison treat the request for religious
services… the way that it treats
requests for religious services by
inmates who profess more orthodox
religious beliefs,” said Richard L.
Varco, counsel to the state Department
of Corrections.
“The witch seems to perform functions
parallel to those performed by priests
and ministers,” Varco said.
Antiga, a 54-year-old priestess of
the Covenant of the Goddess who declined
to reveal her full name, said she didn’t
know when she would visit Edwards at the
prison, but that it wouldn’t be today,
Halloween.
She said she planned a private
ceremony today, by invitation only, “for
those in the craft.” Edwards said he
would celebrate Halloween “very
discreetly.”

RITUALS

Two Yarrow Rituals:

(1)
Goodnight, fair yarrow,
Thrice goodnight to thee;
I hope before tomorrow’s dawn
My true love I shall see.

note: On the night of a New Moon, pluck a sprig of yarrow. Place it under your pillow after repeating the spell over it, three times.

(2)
St. Valentine, that’s to lovers kind,
Come ease the trouble of my mind,
And send the man that loves me true
To take the sprigs out of my shoe[s]

note: Gather a sprig of Thyme and one of Rosemary on the evening of a new moon.
Repeat the spell three times, while sprinkling your ritual [holy] water over these herbs. Place one sprig in each shoe and place each shoe on either side of the bed.

Two Lunar Divinations:

(1)
All hail to the moon! all hail to thee!
I prithee, good moon, declare to me
This night who my husband must be!

(2)
Luna, every woman’s friend,
To me thy goodness condescend,
Let this night in visions see
Emblems of my destiny.

note:
These spells were performed at the new moon with an elaborate ritual, namely: Under your pillow place a prayerbook, on top of this lay these cards; the 10 of clubs, the nine of hearts, the ace of spades, and the ace of diamonds. On top of these, rest three willow leaves, a ring, a key, a crust of bread, a tiny heart shaped cake and a flower. The rhyme [spell] is spoken three times, then the young woman was to sleep with her head upon the pillow.

Secure a branch of Ash with an even number of leaves growing on it. Mother Goose says use it thusly:

The even-ash leaf in my hand,
The first I meet shall be my man.
The even-ash leaf in my glove,
The first I meet shall be my love.
The even-ash leaf in my bosom,
The first I meet shall be my husband.

Another Even-Ash ritual from Mother Goose:

The even-ash I double in three
The first I meet my true love shall be;
If he be married let him pass by,
But if he be single let him draw nigh.

For three consecutive Friday nights, throw a pinch of salt on the fire saying:

It is not this salt that I wish to burn
But my lover’s heart I wish to turn,
So that he may not rest nor happy be
Until he comes to me!

Place a chestnut on the fire, think of your love, speak this charm until the sign is given:

If you love me, pop and fly;
If you hate me, lay and die.

Two rituals to procure your lover:
On Samhain, sow Hemp-seed [illegal now!], repeating this spell:

Hemp-seed I set
Hemp-seed I sow,
The young man that I love,
Come after me and mow.

I sow, I sow,
Then my own dear,
Come hoe, come hoe,
And mow and mow.

Another:
On Samhain take 2 roses of different colors. Chose one to represent yourself, the other for your lover. Twine the stems together, repeating this spell:

Twine, twine, and intertwine,
Let my love be wholly mine.
If his heart be kind and true,
Deeper grows his rose’s hue!

On the night of 20 January [St. Agnes Eve], eat no supper; venture out to a strange locale, being sure to wear stockings and a garter. When you retire for the night, take the right stocking that you wore, and the garter. “Knit” the garter around the stocking, making a knot, AS you repeat this spell:

This knot I knit,
To know the thing I know not yet,
That I may see
The man that shall my husband be,
How he goes, and what he wears,
And what he does all the days.

Lie down with your hands behind your head, (on your back), and sleep. You should dream of your future mate, whom will kiss you in the dream.

Arrival Of Majestic Presence

Arrival Of Majestic Presence Image
Beloved o’ mine,

arrival of Thine majestic presence in the heart-space

dims all stars, sun and moon

in cosmic-space.

all false pride give away,

all illusions return to nothingness,

my whole body and spirit

starts singing

like a single instrument string.

rising

an indescribable bliss

in the nectar

of my being!

lo! all flowers in my garden

gather at Thine feet, O Beloved.

my eyes remain still,

nothing else in this world are worthy;

amidst my heart-space,

all i see is Glory of Thine Beauty.

O King of the infinite!

in my heart-space

blessed be Thy Presence.

God declares: “Neither My heaven nor My earth could contain Me, but the pristine, humble heart of My believing servants can contain Me.” - sacred saying mentioned by Al-Ghazali in Ihya Ulum al-Din.

“Truly, God has vessels from amongst the people of the earth, and the vessels of your Lord are the hearts of His righteous servants, and the most beloved of them to Him are the softest and most tender ones” - in the authority of al-Tabarani, related from Abu ‘Utbah al- Khawlani.

The real abode of God is in the heart of man; when it is frozen with bitterness or hatred, the doors of the shrine are closed, the light is hidden. - Hazrat Inayat Khan

Kill A Tree
From: Ali Katz

to the tune of “Jingle Bells”:

Dashing to the mall in a fleet of rented trucks,
a million hairless apes are out to spend some plastic bucks.
It’s Christmas time again — or maybe World War Three —
and to keep their spirits happy now, they’ve got to kill a tree.

Oh, kill a tree, kill a tree, kill a tree for Christ.
(Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, accept this sacrifice.)
Kill a tree, kill a tree, kill a tree for Christ,
not sure what we’re doing, but it seems to work out nice.

We know we each deserve a ton or two of crap,
but to keep the goodies coming now, we’ve got to spill some sap,
and string electric lights, and raise the ritual star,
and bribe our friends and families to forget what jerks we are.

And kill a tree… (etc.)

We always kill a tree. That’s always been enough
for videos and GI Joes and all that kiddy stuff.
But Mommy wants a Harley, and Daddy wants a boat;
that’s prob’ly gonna cost at least a chicken and a goat.

But kill a tree… (etc.)

To enhance everyone’s holiday cheer, I highly recommend singing this one at the mall. But depending on where you live, you may want to make sure you’ve got a good bail bondsman’s number first.
“Lord Of The Ants
By: Karl Lembke

(tune: “Lord of the Dance”)

Well we cleansed with sugar ‘cause the salt was gone,
And the color was right though the substance might be wrong,
And when the water dried, it was sticky, my oh me,
It attracted all of the ants, you see,

(chorus)
Ants, ants, all over they shall be,
I am the lord of the ants, you see.
I’ll crawl on you, and you’ll itch from me,
And you’ll dance with ants in your pants, said he.

We have ants in the carpets and we’ve ants in the drapes,
We have ants in the kitchen dancing galliards on the grapes,
We have ants in the bedroom and what may be more fun,
We have ants in our circles now from sun to sun.

(chorus)
‘What to do’ cried the priestess, ‘what to do’ cried the priest,
‘All the baits and the sprays haven’t helped us in the least,
‘The buggers eat it up and it only makes us sick,
‘All in all I’d say it is no pic-nic!’

(chorus)

We stood round the fire while the flames lept up high,
With the sound of the sirens wailing up to the sky,
Though the bug bombs exploded it could still have been worse,
At least now we’re free of the ant lord’s curse!

(spoken: “Oh hell!”)

(chorus)
“It’s from a Pagan version of the song CIRCLES. I’m not sure who wrote it - I want to say a group of women in Lansing, Mich. Unfortunately, my copy says
“ANON”.

Circles

Tune: Windmills

(1) In days gone by, when the world was much younger,
Men wondered at Spring, born of Winter’s cold knife,
Wondering at the games of the moon and the sunlight,
They saw there the Lady and Lord of all life.

CHORUS: Around and around, and around turns the good Earth,
All things must change as the seasons go by,
we are the children of the Lord and the Lady,
Whose mysteries we know, but will never know why.

(2) In all lands the people were tied to the good Earth,
Plowing and sowing, as the seasons declared,
Waiting to reap of the rich golden harvest,
Knowing her laughter in the joys that we shared.

Chorus.

(3) Through Flanders and Wales and the green lands of Ireland,
in the kingdoms of England and Scotland and Spain,
Circles grew up all along the wild coastlines,
And worked for the land, with the Sun and the rain.
Chorus

(4) Circles for healing, and working the weather,
Circles for knowing the Moon and the Sun,
Circles for thanking the Lord and the Lady,
Circles for dancing the dance never done.

Chorus

(5) And we who reach for the stars in the heavens,
Turning our eyes from the meadows and groves,
Still live in the love of the Lord and the Lady,
The greater the circle, the more the love grows.

Chorus twice.

Blessed be, and keep dancing.
Keipa

Adf Ritual

Adf Ritual Image
BASIC RITUAL NUMBER ONE by P.E.I. Bonewits, Sally Eaton and others

Procession, lead by D1 and D2:

D1: Ta muid anseo leis na Deithe a adhradh.
D2: We are here to honor the Gods.
D1: A Dheithe, an Airde, a Thabharthoiri ar Bheatha - eistigi
agus freagairt orainn!
D2: O Gods, High Ones, Givers of Life - hear and answer us!

Processional song:

We come from the mountains,
Living in the mountains,
Turn the world around.

We come from the oceans,
Living in the oceans,
Turn the world around.

We come from the fire,
Living in the fire,
Turn the world around.

We come from the breezes,
Living in the breezes,
Turn the world around.

Settling song:

She changes everything she touches,
And everything she touches changes.

Tree Meditation:

When e’er we stand in a sacred place
Beneath the Sun’s or Moon’s bright face,
In a circle’s rim or shady grove,
Our spirits go to the Gods we love.

Let all our minds go clear and free,
and form the image of a treee,
A youthful sapling of the glade,
Whose budding branches cast no shade.

Around this tender, supple youth,
Are seen its sturdy forbearers growth,
Those forest Elders strong and wise,
Who nurture those of lesser size.

So close your eyes, and in your mind
Become one of the spirit kind.
Cast off your cares and disbelief,
and enter tree from root to leaf.

Relax and breathe and center will,
Then let the peace within you swell
Until it is a thing profound.
Now send it deep in the ground.

In every little tender root
Feel water flow, and and then transmute;
The sap will flow through ever vein,
Our links to our ancestors regain.

Now let the sap rise in a flood,
And race to every branch and bud;
Each branch extend into the air,
Each leaf unfold in green so fair.

The gentle zephers toss each bough,
And to you calming breaths endow,
While rays of golden summer light
Give warmth and lend their power’s might.

Let water rise and fire descend,
And lively air the branches bend;
Thus firmly planted in the Earth,
The elements give us rebirth.

Now let the green entwine,
And form our sacred grove devine.
With branch and root our circle form,
And magic from mundane transform.

We all are rooted just the same,
We feel the same supernal flame,
We drink the water free to all,
We hear the gentle airy call.

Now let us feel our spirits surge,
And into one great spirit merge
To let the Lord and Lady know
That we are ready below.

And let us all link hand to hand,
Before all of the gods we stand,
And in this hallowed space we start
To show all that is in our heart.

closed!
D1: A Mannonon go raith maith agat. Anois biodh na geatai idir na
saolta a druidte!

Reversing the Tree meditation:

Our sacred grove the Gods do love,
The Earth beneath, the sky above,
But now this ritual must end,
Toward our home and hearthstone fend.

Again we cleat our mind and heart;
The branches shrink and pull apart.
The roots untie and backward turn,
And spirit fire less brightly burns.

Let water sink, let fire go,
Let gentle zephers homeward flow,
And as if in a cleansing rain
Become a single tree again.

Then from this solitary tree
Your soul breaks loose, a being free.
Your body calls, your spirit flies,
Returns, you slowly open your eyes.

Libation:

D1: To thee we return this portion of thy bounty, o NAME our Mother,
even as we must someday return unto thee.

Final Benediction:

D1: Let us go out into the world, secure in the knowledge that
our sacrifices have pleased the Gods and Goddesses, and that we
go forth upon the Earth under their protection.

D2: We have finished this ceremony!
D1: So be it!
All: Biodh se!

Recessional song/chant: Walk with Wisdom

Walk with wisdom
from this hallowed place.
Walk not in sorrow,
our roots shall ere embrace.
May Strength be your brother,
and Honor be your friend.
and luck be your lover until we meet again.

TECHNO-LESSON #2: Overcoming Physical Shortcomings

Chant: She Changes Everything She Touches

He & She begin the chant, She drumming. Her shoulder starts acting up; He gets out the Casio (tempo -2, any 4/4 rhythm). For the chant, mix verses as is pleasing.

She changes everything She touches and

Everything She touches, changes.

She changes everything She touches and

Everything She touches, changes.

We are the changers

Everything we touch can change.

Change us, touch us;

Touch us, change us.

Everything that dies is born again

In a new place, on a new day.

Everything that’s lost is found again

On a new day, in a new way.

Io, Kore!

Io, Kore!

Io, Persephone!

TECHNO-LESSON #3: Supplementing Abilities

First, He & She ‘argue’ about who’s going to lead it, jokingly asking if anyone in Circle wants to do background music; then He gets pathworking with music on audio tape. When pathworking is done, folks should still be in light trance; the next thing is to concretize the working by distributing pens so that people can put whatever they symbols they think are appropriate on their airplanes.

POWER CHANT: A rising OM; which at peak leads into Countdown. At
“Liftoff”, throw the planes upwards (when done, planes can either be kept or HP/S should offer to see that they get burned.

(* Note *) (* Note *) Don’t forget to Ground (* Note *) (* Note *)

Earth below us

Drifting, falling

Floating weightless

Coming home

Religion Belief Lao Tzu

Religion Belief Lao Tzu Image
I’m fascinated with Taoist Spirituality “( infact everything in this beautiful world fascinates me ! and it sometime bothers my friends as well. haha )… “just discovered this beautiful site, on the teaching of Lao Tzu.

Look how beautiful is their ideas, what they call Tao is the Supreme Soul, is the God::

Origin of all things.

There is a thing, formless yet complete.

Before heaven and earth it existed.

Without sound, without substance,

it stands alone and unchanging.

It is all-pervading and unfailing.

One may think of it as the mother of all beneath Heaven.

We do not know its name, but we call it Tao.

Deep and still, it seems to have existed forever.

Sustainer of all things.

The Great Tao flows everywhere.

It may go left or right.

All things depend on it for life, and it does not turn away from them.

It accomplishes its tasks, but does not claim credit for it.

It clothes and feeds all things, but does not claim to be master over them.

Always without desires, it may be called the Small.

All things come to it and it does not master them;

it may be called The Great.

Tao is incomprehensible to us by normal means or language.

We look at it and do not see it;

Its name is the invisible.

We listen to it and do not hear it;

Its name is the inaudible.

We touch it and do not find it;

Its name is the Subtle (formless).

These three cannot be further probed,

and hence merge into one…

Infinite and boundless, it cannot be given any name;

It reverts to nothingness.

This is called shape without shape, form without object.

It is the vague and elusive.

Meet it and you will not see its head.

Follow it and you will not see its back.

The Tao that can be told of is not the eternal Tao;

the name that can be named is not the eternal name.

Tao is both being and non-being.

Non-Being is the term given to that from which Heaven and Earth sprang.

Being is the term given to the mother that rears all things…

The two are the same,

But after they are produced, they have different names.

The two together we call the Mystery.

It is the Mystery of Mysteries.[+] Please visit MysticSaint.Info For full multimedia experience and enjoy special music.

Blessings,
Sadiq

Witches Burning

Witches Burning Image
Date: Thu 07 Jan 88 15:43:34
From: L.a. Hussey (on 161/93)
To: All
Subj: Song

Lately I’ve been seeing an outrageous escalation of figures from the burning times, now we’re up to 9.5 million! And there seems to be some sort of perverse
“we’re more persecuted than the Jews” mentality behind it. Completely ignoring the fact that the burning times killed some large number of people over 4 centuries, where the Nazi Holocaust killed its millions in a matter of 5 YEARS.
Also, I’ve been pissed off lately by Charlie Murphey’s “Burning Times” song, which has propagated the 9 million figure and has in it lines like “The Earth is a Witch/ and the Men still burn Her”. So, in the good old-fashioned tradition of lectures set to music, I offer the following verses. I need to see how many people they offend before I sing them at Esotericon.

BURNING TIMES

The songs are sung to rouse our anger
Of martyred witches gone to the fire
But what is served by righteous singing
When all we do is stew in our ire?
Nine million dead in four hundred years
More in that time simply died of disease.
Why do we dwell on long-passed dead
When we are alive in times like these?

cho1: Rise up, Witches, throw off your masks
And cease crying guilt for ancient crimes;
Earth and all her children need us,
For all face now the Burning Times.

In the face of that hostile power,
How did the old knowledge stay alive?
How do we have a Craft to practise?
Our ancestors knew how to fight and survive!
How do we honour our blessed dead?
Slavery threatens all but the few!
We must teach their cunning ways;
Everyone needs the skills they knew.

cho: Rise up, Witches, gather your strength,
And let your power spread and climb;
Earth and all her children need us,
For all face now the Burning Times.

I’ll not cast off science’s works
Witches all forces to Will can bend.
I’ll not accuse, for war and waste,
Some patriarchy of faceless Men.
Men do not cast the only votes;
Women alone do not demonstrate.
Rather than shut out half the race,
Who, if not we, will change that state?

(cho)

I will not blame a Father’s Church —
Blame and guilt are Their tools, not mine.
And even in the shuls and churches
Allies there will I seek and find!
I will not answer hate with fear;
Nor with a smug, cheek-turning love;
I will not answer hate with rage;
By strength alone will I not be moved!

(cho)

I will not hide in my sacred grove —
The factories and cities yet ring me about.
I will not climb my ivory tower —
The real world exists though I shut it out.
I will not work for Church nor State
Who serve themselves while they serve us lies.
Nor only for my Witchen kin
But for the family of all alive!

(cho)

So if rebellion means to fight
A State lost sight of why it was built,
If heresy’s to reject a Church
That rules with force or fear or guilt,
Then let us all be rebels proud,
And shameless heretics by creed!
A tyrant’s hand subjects the Earth
More heretic rebels are what She needs!

(cho)

Home Blessing

Home Blessing Image
A home blessing meditation for charging a room:

Sit Straight with palms on lap, take deep breaths, relax, and move into a mental space where you activate your intuitive senses. Imagine a cord of energy from your spine connecting you to the Earth, and channel energy from the Earth through it. Silently ask for divine protection, guidance, and blessing.

Direct your psychic sensing outward, and feel lines of force coming out of your aura. Note where the strongest energy is (check out the floor, ceiling, directions, etc.). Note spots that feel empty or dead, note places that feel full alive, focus on where you are sitting and how you feel at that particular spot.

Imagine a sphere of light and love energy at your heart, feel it pulsing outward with every breath. Feel the radiance increase with every breath, feel your self as a star, continue to breathe deeply and send out the energy, letting it pulsate in the room. When ready, start making power sounds representing the love and light you are channeling; use it to amplify the light you are weaving; and fill the room with the energy. Then shift focus to sending a probe out into the room, and note the differences in the quality of energy and how you feel about it. Repeat if necessary, When done, feel the completeness of the work.

A room blessing involving elemental quarter invocations:

Face each direction (with arms out in appropriate elemental invoking gesture), and say, while channeling and visualizing elemental power: - Powers of (say direction), - Powers of (say corresponding element), - We great you, we honor you, we welcome you here! - Watch over and bless and protect this place. After each invocation, shape the energy into columns of light by sweeping ones arms together until they are parallel and sweeping them up and down while channeling and shaping the energy. When the energy is properly shaped, say so “mote it be.”

After you have done all four quarters, channel in spirit energy.

To return the energy to a more mellow state while energizing yourself, put your hands out and take in a bit of the energy into your self from each direction, going widdershins, hold hands to your heart and take in the energy (techniques also exist for bringing it into a stone and retrieving it when needed).

Officina Magica Essays On The Practice Of Magic In Antiquity

Book: Officina Magica Essays On The Practice Of Magic In Antiquity by Shaul Shaked

This book discusses various aspects of the theory and practice of magic in antique cultures around the Mediterranean. While some of its contributors address problems of methodology of research into magic and the definition of magic, others deal with specific historical and textual issues. Although a major focus is on Jewish texts ranging from antiquity to the medieval period, the book also includes studies of several magical texts from ancient Mesopotamia and their impact on later magical practice, and studies of Greek and Zoroastrian texts and artifacts. The approaches thus range from the examination of textual or visual sources to theoretical issues such as the history of research and the definition of magic.

Shaul Shaked, Ph.D. (1964) in Iranian languages, University of London, is Professor emeritus in Iranian Studies and Comparative Religion at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He has published several books on Zoroastrianism, Judaeo-Persian, and Aramaic magic, including Magic Spells and Formulae: Aramaic Incantations of Late Antiquity (1993, with J. Naveh). He received the Israel Prize for Linguistics in 2000.
