"WALK IN THE SPIRIT AND TOTALLY CHANGE YOUR LIFE"
"GAL. 5:16" BUT I SAY, WALK AND LIVE [HABITUALLY] IN THE [HOLY] SPIRIT [RESPONSIVE TO AND CONTROLLED AND GUIDED BY THE SPIRIT]; THEN YOU WILL CERTAINLY NOT GRATIFY THE CRAVINGS AND DESIRES OF THE FLESH (OF HUMAN NATURE WITHOUT GOD)."I TALK WITH BELIEVERS ALL THE TIME WHO SAY THEY WANT TO SEE GOD'S WILL DONE IN THEIR LIFE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY ARE NOT. TOO OFTEN WE ARE LETTING OUR FLESHLY WAYS GET THE BEST OF US AND IN DOING SO MISSING OUT ON WHAT IS GOD'S WILL FOR OUR LIVES. I RECENTLY ASKED A GROUP OF MEN WHO WERE MARRIED IF THEY KNEW WHAT MAKES THEIR SPOUSE UPSET OR MAD. THEY ALL RESPONDED THAT THEY DID. I THEN ASKED, "WHY THEN DO WE DO THINGS THAT WE KNOW WILL UPSET THEM AND MAKE THEM MAD? WHAT IS THE BENEFIT IN THAT?"
"SO OFTEN WE DO THINGS THAT WE KNOW ARE NOT GOING TO REAP GOOD RESULTS. IF WE LOVE THE LORD WE DON'T EVEN DO SO WITH WILLFUL INTENTIONS, BUT YET WE DO THINGS IN THE FLESH, WHICH DOES NOT BRING GOOD RESULTS. AS SCRIPTURE REVEALS THERE IS NOTHING GOOD THAT DWELLS IN THE FLESH, FOR THE FLESH IS OPPOSED TO GOD. SO WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS? WELL AS ALWAYS GOD HAS AN ANSWER. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO LEARN AS A BELIEVER. ONE OF THE PRIMARY GOALS AFTER GETTING BORN AGAIN IS TO BECOME MORE AND MORE SPIRITUAL. TO BE SPIRITUAL MEANS TO BE GOVERNED BY THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS TO BE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE MORE SPIRITUAL WE BECOME, THE MORE WE ARE WALKING IN THE SPIRIT. WHEN WE DO THIS WE DO NOT FULFILL THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH."
"THE DESIRES OF THE FLESH APART FROM THE SPIRIT OF GOD ARE NOT GOING TO REAP GOOD RESULTS. IF WE RESPOND TO PEOPLE OUT OF THE FLESH FOR EXAMPLE WE WILL THEN OFTEN OPPOSE WHAT GOD SAYS WE SHOULD DO IN THAT SITUATION. THIS BRINGS ABOUT RESULTS THAT NONE OF US LIKE. IF WE FACE DECISIONS IN LIFE AND OUR RESPONSE IS FOUNDED OFF OF WHAT OUR FLESH WANTS TO DO THIS WILL RESULT IN US MISSING OUT ON GOD'S WILL FOR OUR LIFE. SO IF YOU WANT TO TOTALLY CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND WALK IN THE SPIRIT, WHICH BRINGS ALL THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT (GAL. 5:22-23), WE MUST LEARN TO DO SO."
"SO THE KEY AS TO HOW WE LEARN TO BECOME SPIRITUAL AND NOT RESPOND ACCORDING TO OUR OLD HUMAN FLESHLY NATURE IS TO WALK IN THE SPIRIT. THIS IS LEARNING TO LIVE OUR LIFE GOVERNED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO WILL ALWAYS LEAD US IN WHAT IS GOD'S WILL FOR OUR LIFE, AND IN TURN WILL PRODUCE GODLY FRUIT, WHICH IS FAR BETTER THAN THE FRUIT OF THE FLESH. IN GALATIANS 5:19-21 THERE IS A LIST OF THE FRUITS OF THE FLESH, AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK OVER THAT LIST AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THOSE ARE THINGS YOU DO NOT WANT TO LIVE IN. THERE ARE TWO PRIMARY THINGS ASSOCIATED WITH WALKING IN THE SPIRIT. THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO TEACH YOU THIS WEEK. SO LET'S BEGIN."
"JOHN 6:63 "IT IS THE SPIRIT WHO GIVES LIFE; THE FLESH PROFITS NOTHING. THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK TO YOU ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE."HERE JESUS ALSO STATES THAT THE FLESH IS OF NO PROFIT. THINK ABOUT THAT. HE DECLARES IT IS THE SPIRIT WHO GIVES LIFE, AND THAT IS THE WORD FOR "ZOE", WHICH MEANS THE GOD-KIND OF LIFE. NOW NOTICE WHAT HE SAYS AT THE END OF THIS VERSE. THE WORDS THAT HE SPOKE ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE. DID YOU GET THAT? YOU SEE THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT TRUTH TO WALKING IN THE SPIRIT IS ONE THAT IS OFTEN OVERLOOKED. JESUS' WORDS ARE SPIRIT. THEREFORE, IF WE WILL LEARN TO WALK IN LIGHT OF AND OBEDIENCE TO HIS WORDS, YOU WILL BEGIN TO WALK IN THE SPIRIT."
"THIS IS WHERE YOU SEE AN IMMEDIATE PROBLEM FOR FAR TOO MANY THAT ARE BORN AGAIN. TO WALK IN THE LIGHT OF AND OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD'S OF JESUS YOU MUST GET INTO HIS WORD; PRIMARILY FOCUSING ON WHAT JESUS SAID, AND WHAT HIS DISCIPLES SAID WHICH THEY LEARNED OF HIM. IF WE DON'T TAKE TIME TO GET INTO HIS WORD THEN HOW CAN WE WALK IN THE SPIRIT? THERE ARE TWO ASPECTS TO WALKING IN THE WORD. FIRST AND FOREMOST IS LEARNING TO WALK IN THE LIGHT OF THE WORD OF GOD, BEING OBEDIENT TO WHAT IS SAYS."
"1 John 1:6" If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
"1 John 1:7" But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. WALKING IN THE LIGHT OF GOD'S WORD IS PRACTICING THE TRUTH, WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD. WHEN WE PUT GOD'S WORD INTO PRACTICE IN OUR LIVES THEN WE WALK IN THE LIGHT AS HE IS IN THE LIGHT, AND WE WALK IN THE LIBERTY THAT HAS COME FROM THE BLOOD OF JESUS, WHICH CLEANSED US FROM ALL SIN. JAMES TELLS US THAT WE ARE TO BE DOERS OF THE WORD AND NOT HEARERS ONLY. ONE WHO HEARS BUT DOES NOT TAKE THE TIME TO PUT APPLICATION OF THE WORD INTO THEIR LIFE JAMES SAID DECEIVES HIMSELF. SO DON'T BE SELF-DECEIVED, WALK IN THE LIGHT OF THE WORD BY PRACTICING WHAT IT SAYS. LIKE ANYTHING YOU PRACTICE THAT MEANS YOU ARE GOING TO GET GOOD AT IT BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE AN EFFORT TO PRACTICE."
"2 COR. 5:17" THEREFORE IF ANY PERSON IS [INGRAFTED] IN CHRIST (THE MESSIAH) HE IS A NEW CREATION (A NEW CREATURE ALTOGETHER); THE OLD [PREVIOUS MORAL AND SPIRITUAL CONDITION] HAS PASSED AWAY. BEHOLD, THE FRESH AND NEW HAS COME!"THE SECOND KEY TO WALKING IN THE WORD IS TO LIVE WITH AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS. IF YOU DON'T TAKE THE TIME TO MEDITATE ON AND RENEW YOUR MIND TO WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST, YOU ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO THINK WITH THE OLD FLESHLY MINDSET. YOU ARE NOT AN OLD SINNER SAVED BY GRACE. YOU ARE A NEW CREATION. YOU CAN'T BE BOTH. YOU ARE A SPIRIT AND YOUR SPIRIT IS BORN AGAIN. YOU ARE A NEW CREATURE ALL TOGETHER MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD. YOU MUST LEARN THIS OR THE OLD FLESHLY NATURE WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE YOUR LIFE."
"Rom. 8:13" For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
"Rom. 8:14" For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
"Rom. 8:16" The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit..."TO WALK IN LIFE, THE GOD-KIND OF LIFE, YOU MUST ALSO BE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD. BUT WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T PUT THIS BEFORE WALKING IN LINE WITH THE WORD OF GOD. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT WALKING IN THE SPIRIT THIS IS WHAT MOST PEOPLE THINK OF, BEING LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND IT IS INCLUDED. BUT IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET INTO THE WORD AND WALK IN THE LIGHT OF THE WORD, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO ACCURATELY BE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. EVERYTHING HE TELLS US TO DO IS IN LINE WITH THE WORD OF GOD."
"IN VERSE 13 ABOVE PAUL IS STATING THE SAME THING HERE THAT WE STARTED WITH IN GALATIANS 5:16. WHEN WE ALLOW OUR FLESH TO MAKE OUR DECISIONS AND NOT WALK IN THE SPIRIT, THEN WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE FRUIT OF THE FLESH MANIFESTING. BUT WHEN WE WALK IN THE SPIRIT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE LIFE FOR WE WILL HAVE THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT MANIFESTED IN AND THROUGH US. GOD WANTS TO LEAD US BY HIS SPIRIT. A KEY TO THIS IS THAT HIS SPIRIT IS NOT GOING TO SPEAK TO OUR BRAIN. NOTICE IT SAYS THAT HIS SPIRIT BEARS WITNESS WITH OUR SPIRIT. GOD IS A SPIRIT, AND HE IS GOING TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO US THROUGH OUR SPIRIT. SO WE MUST LEARN TO LISTEN TO OUR SPIRIT MAN WITHIN TO FOLLOW THE LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. LET ME SHARE A KEY TO HOW WE CAN LEARN TO FOLLOW THE LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT."
"JAMES 1:19" UNDERSTAND [THIS], MY BELOVED BRETHREN. LET EVERY MAN BE QUICK TO HEAR [A READY LISTENER], SLOW TO SPEAK, SLOW TO TAKE OFFENSE AND TO GET ANGRY."ONE OF THE SIMPLEST TRUTHS TO BEING LED BY THE SPIRIT IS TO QUIT REACTING IMMEDIATELY TO WHAT YOU HEAR, OR TO WHAT GOES ON AROUND YOU. BE QUICK TO HEAR, A READY LISTENER, AND SLOW TO SPEAK. IT IS OUR FLESH THAT WANTS TO IMMEDIATELY SPEAK, AND WHEN WE DO SO WITHOUT TAKING TIME TO HEAR WHAT GOD WOULD SAY IN THAT SITUATION, WE ARE NOT GOING TO WALK IN THE SPIRIT, WE ARE GOING TO WALK IN THE FLESH."
"IF WE ARE TAKING TIME TO HEAR THIS NOT ONLY REFERS TO US LISTENING TO WHAT SOMEONE IS SAYING, BUT ALSO TO WHAT GOD IS WANTING US TO SAY OR DO IN THAT SITUATION. I HAVE BY NO MEANS PERFECTED THIS, BUT I HAVE AVOIDED SOME ARGUMENTS AND CREATED FEWER PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH IN MY LIFE WHEN DOING THIS. THINK ABOUT HOW DIFFERENT YOUR LIFE WOULD BE IF YOU TOOK THE TIME BEFORE RESPONDING TO ANY SITUATION IN YOUR LIFE TO SIMPLY ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT, "WHAT WOULD GOD WANT ME TO SAY OR DO HERE?" IF WE WILL REALLY LEARN THIS HABIT OF LISTENING FIRST TO OUR SPIRIT MAN, NOT OUR THOUGHTS OR WHAT WE THINK, BUT REALLY ZEROING IN ON OUR SPIRIT MAN WITHIN TO HEAR FROM GOD, HOW DIFFERENT WOULD OUR LIVES BE? HOW DIFFERENT WOULD OUR RELATIONSHIPS BE?"
"GOD GAVE US A GREAT HELPER, THE HOLY SPIRIT. BUT HOW OFTEN DO WE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS GREAT HELPER TO REALLY STOP AND LISTEN TO WHAT HE IS TRYING TO TELL US TO DO OR SAY? WALK IN THE LIGHT OF THE WORD AND LISTEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU. DOING SO YOU WILL WALK IN THE SPIRIT AND THUS NOT FULFILL THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH. THE RESULTS WILL BE MUCH BETTER, AND YOU WILL EXPERIENCE MORE OF GOD'S WILL FOR YOUR LIFE. YOU WILL WALK IN THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT, NOT THE FRUIT OF THE FLESH. IT IS A MUCH MORE PEACEFUL AND JOYFUL WAY TO LIVE LIFE."

"Charles Godfrey Leland was an American writer, traveller and folklorist, who, in 1899, produced the book "Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches", which was to become a primary source text for Neopaganism half a century later. Although probably not a witch himself, his research on ancient witchcraft practices has been highly influential on the development of modern witchcraft and Wicca.
Leland was born on 15 August 1824 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, of old English descent. It is said that, shortly after his birth, his Old Dutch nurse took the child to the family attic and performed a ritual on him involving a Bible, a key, a knife, lighted candles, money and salt to ensure a long life as a "scholar and a wizard", which some have seen as foreshadowing his interest in folk traditions and magic. From other ethnic household servants, he learned as a child about fairies and about Voodoo, and he grew up fascinated with folklore, the supernatural and magic.
Leland was a talented linguist and was educated at Princeton University as well as at Heidelberg and Munich and at the Sorbonne in Paris (where he was also involved in the Revolutions of 1848). At the age of eighteen, he made an unpublished English translation of the "Pymander" of Trismegistus, a Hermetic text now commonly known as "Hermes Trismegistus: His Divine Pymander", which was the foundation for much of the Hermetic writings that inspired many Western occultists during the later part of the 19th Century and the early part of the 20th Century.
Leland returned to the United States, and married Eliza Bella (Isabel) Fisher in 1856, and they remained devoted to each other for 46 years until her death in 1902. He worked for some years as a journalist and participated in the American Civil War, before returning to Europe, travelling widely and eventually settling in London in 1869. In addition to books of humour and on industrial art (which was a consuming interest of his), he began to publish a number of books on ethnography, folklore and language, reflecting a contemporary interest in pagan and Aryan traditions, and he made a particular study of the Gypsies or Roma people.
In 1888, Leland moved to Florence, Italy, where he lived out the remainder of his life. It was here that he met a woman called Maddalena Taleni (or possibly Zaleni), whom he always referred to as just Maddalena, or as his "witch informant". She was a "card reader", telling fortunes in the back streets of Florence, but Leland soon discovered that Maddalena was also a practising witch, and employed her (and another woman, named Marietta, who Maddalena introduced to Leland) to help gather material for his research on Stregheria (or Italian witchcraft). Certain passages in his books strongly suggest that Leland was himself initiated into Stregheria.

From this extensive research, Leland published "Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches" in 1899, one of his three books on Italian folk traditions, purportedly detailing the traditional beliefs of Italian witchcraft and revealing the existence of a surviving witch cult from ancient times in Italy. Part of the book is Leland's translation into English of the "Vangelo" (or gospel), an original Italian manuscript provided to him by Maddalena, and the rest of the material comes from Leland's research on Italian folklore and traditions, including other related material from Maddalena. The central figure of the religion is the Diana-like goddess, Aradia, who came to Earth to teach the practice of witchcraft to peasants, in order to oppose their feudal oppressors and the Catholic Church.
Although the accuracy of "Aradia" has been disputed, it has been extensively used by others as a definitive study of witch lore in 19th Century Italy, and it apparently corroborates the thesis of Margaret Murray that Early Modern and Renaissance witchcraft represented a survival of ancient Pagan beliefs.
The work includes many strikingly similar elements to the writings of Gerald Gardner over half a century later, including the themes of witches meeting at the time of the full moon, ritual nudity, calling their ways "The Old Religion", celebrating with ritual cakes and wine, and worshipping a god and goddess. The "Charge of the Goddess" (a traditional inspirational text often used in Wicca, and usually attributed to Gerald Gardner and adapted into verse by his student, Doreen Valiente) draws extensively from the first chapter of the book. "Aradia" also makes the earliest connection between the word "wicca" and modern witchcraft.
Leland died on 20 March 1903 in Florence, after several years of ill health, from a bout of pneumonia and resulting heart problems."

THE FILTHY LITTLE ATHEIST... FOUNDING FATHER BY DANIELE BOLELLI
The story of his life is richer and weirder than any fiction. Among his close friends were visionary poets such as William Blake as well as political icons like Benjamin Franklin. Napoleon slept with his books by his pillow, and told him statues of gold should be erected to him in every city in the universe (but the admiration was not reciprocated). Thomas Edison believed him to be one of the most brilliant minds in human history. Some of his writings rank among the greatest bestsellers of the 18th century. He participated in the two revolutions (the American and the French) that changed the political face of the modern world.
During the American Revolution, George Washington used his writings to inspire his troops to remember what they were fighting for, and even suggested that no other individual had done more for the cause of American independence. John Adams stated that without his pen, Washington's military victories would have been in vain. In France, the revolutionaries invited him to join the National Convention in charge of drafting a new constitution. His unconditional love for freedom, however, made him allergic to "revolutionary" totalitarianism just as much as he was opposed to monarchic totalitarianism. So, Robespierre and his proto-fascist cronies had him arrested and sentenced to death. But the blade of the guillotine missed the date with his neck thanks to a mistake by the jailer in delivering condemned prisoners. Before the mistake was fixed, a future American president, James Monroe, intervened on his behalf and had him rescued. And another president, Thomas Jefferson, personally offered him political asylum.
The man we are speaking of is Thomas Paine.
Even though his name is relatively well known, it is not nearly as celebrated as one may imagine given such a wild, intense existence, and such a deep impact on history. Paine was after all the man who came up with the terms "United States of America," and is credited by many to be the ideological father of modern democracy. So why is his face not on the dollar bills? Why is he not hanging out with Jefferson & co. on Mt. Rushmore? Why is he not given his due among the greatest American heroes?
Paine's problem is that he didn't die in 1792. Had he done that, his place among the pantheon of beloved founding fathers would have been assured. But instead he lived, and wrote another book entitled "The Age of Reason". The result? By the time he actually died in 1809, only six people attended his funeral. The most repeated of his obituaries by the newspapers read, "he had lived long, did some good and much harm." His supporters found themselves under relentless attacks. Thomas Jefferson's political opponents had a field day using over and over his friendship with Paine against him. Abraham Lincoln's friends burned a booklet he had written, in which he defended Paine's ideas, for fear that this would irreparably ruin his reputation. Over a hundred years after Paine's death, Theodore Roosevelt still referred to him as a "filthy little atheist."
What exactly was it about "The Age of Reason" that transformed Paine into a ghost among the founding fathers? Why did he turn overnight from popular hero into a hated villain? It's because the man took on organized religion with a furor, in an age when doing so was neither fashionable nor conducive to good health.
As he wrote, "I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church. All national institutions of churches... appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit."
When he had composed passionate defenses of freedom against political tyranny, the masses had loved him. But now that he had composed a passionate defense of freedom against religious tyranny, they hated him. Paine hadn't changed. It's simply that his audience was much readier to attack political rather than religious institutions. But for Paine tyranny was tyranny regardless which adjective was attached to it. To him, sworn enemies like the king of England and Robespierre, the pope and Martin Luther were but different faces of the same evil. Whether they called themselves monarchists or revolutionaries, Catholics or Protestants, whether they indulged in inquisitions or guillotines, didn't matter much since they were all equally addicted to totalitarianism. "The Age of Reason" was Paine's declaration of war against the religious dogmatism that had squashed individual liberties over the centuries.
The fame of being a godless atheist followed Paine like a shadow forever afterwards. But the punch line in all of this is that Paine was anything but an atheist. It was precisely because he believed in God that he despised organized religions since-in his view-these turned the divine mystery into bad mythology, and projected onto God their own psychotic hopes and fears. In Paine's brand of freedom-loving spirituality, God was something greater than any religion. And this was the belief that cost Paine his place of honor among the founding fathers.

Precious stone SAMAD / AFP / GETTY Descriptions
Crosses dress up a piecemeal memorial on the grouds of the Settle Towers elementary school in suggestion of the seven children who died in the field of the devastating windstorm, in Moore, Okla., May 25, 2013.
Churches corner to corner Moore, Okla., uphold altered taking part in untidiness solace centers this week - the deal with is, as all, about as Bible Paste as America gets. The municipal website lists once again 80 churches, and forcefully a third are Baptist. Church as church has turned flee taking part in contribution drop-off site, and reveal taking part in camouflage filing core or relating to diet arise. This Sunday, pastors are offering unlike type of donations, one aimed to food the soul: preaching.
Chief priest Ted Miller of Crossroads Church has led his 1,500-member church for cleanly one go out with, and this is his initial time pastoring a community whilst a debacle of such throng. However none of his precipitate church members lost their lives, all uphold walked gulp down the hand out of the shadow of death this week. Multiple families had children at Settle Towers Foremost and faced the traumatic truthfulness of fleeting ones missing. Thirty-two families in his reunion suffered whole or noticeable pledge loss.
Miller's head Sunday pronouncement is to bring to mind parishioners that the tornado's May 20 spoil was not God's feel. Equating natural spoil with God's plan can be a key theological path to march - God is not mad, he says, but more readily the swap is true. God comforts countryside in the midst of their grief. "God is our hideaway and wisdom, our unrelieved help in difficulty, fittingly we decision not despondency whilst the Establish essential modernize and the mountains fall taking part in the origin of the sea," he says, quoting Psalm 46. Miller after that points to the New Tribute book of Romans, in which the Apostle Paul tells of the Earth's groanings. "The earth groans, weather patterns modernize, they come and go with live through changes," Miller explains. "A natural untidiness and an act of God are not the enormously thing."
(PHOTOS: Moments of Envisage in Oklahoma - One Photographer's Fib)
Miller has spend time at stories of hope to join. Amazing thing as enfant terrible happened park Monday, and the loss of life, while upsetting, may possibly uphold been far bonus total. There's the man in his reunion who raced home to fire up his inactive spouse and report her of the storm's transfer. They rode out the windstorm in a closet. Further boy in debt out of locked-down South Moore Elate Teach and ran two miles to Settle Towers to try to find his fleeting sister. He dug gulp down the flotsam and jetsam until he pulled her out stirring.
Rub'en Cabrera is a teaching chief priest at Iglesia Bautista de Quail Springs, a Latino church in Oklahoma Municipal that has after that been back up with Moore's stimulation hard work. Their sister church, Ciudad de Dios, is located just curtailed a mile from Settle Towers. Cabrera had deliberate his vocalizations turn-off previous the windstorm hit, and it may possibly not be bonus occasion. "We read the Bible segment by segment, and this Sunday's bit of the Scriptures is Luke 12:13-21, which association about things and what our continue essential be on the way to pure matter," he explains. "It is distant and it is by doom - I do not imagine it is luck."

Carry some weight things can be blessings, he says, but they can become idols if countryside hang on to to them too sudden. That does not mean the church is not providing for amateur basic needs - pastors and volunteers uphold been working 20-hr. stretches, from 7:00 AM until 3:00 AM, to make clear-cut countryside yield the clothes, relating to diet, and covering they destitution. But Cabrera's pronouncement is about the continue of the origin. "The sway to the church is to put our storm in God in the function of pure matter can be gone," he says. "Somewhere your prize is, that is everyplace your origin is."
It is a pronouncement that Americans corner to corner the land can stand as they collect the countryside of Oklahoma from their own pews. Undiluted if the windstorm and its dead aren't garishly mentioned, Moore's theological messages decision estimated be style. Last all, parishioners corner to corner traditions and about the land decision estimated be on stage the old bring to a close hymns: "O God our help in ages ancient, our hope in being to come, Distinguished is Thy Honesty," and, the ever-poignant, "Whatever my lot, Thou has qualified me to say, it is well, it is well with my determination."

According to yesterday's Kansas City Star, the Kansas City-St. Joseph Catholic Diocese yesterday settled a wrongful death lawsuit for 2.25 million as jury selection was under way in a Missouri state court in a suit by parents of sex abuse victim Brian Teeman who committed suicide at age 14. The suicide in November 1983 followed repeated sexual abuse by Monsignor Thomas J. O'Brien who allegedly forced four altar boys to perform sexual acts in the sacristy at Nativity of Mary in Independence, Missouri. (Background.) As part of the settlement, the diocese will also place a bench honoring Teeman on the grounds of Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church in Independence. The diocese had planned to defend on the grounds that it did not know that Teeman had been abused or had committed suicide, and also on statute of limitations grounds. The Diocese yesterday issued a statement (full text) announcing the settlement.

APOCALYPSE "(Greek: Apok'alypsis; "lifting of the veil" or "revelation") is a term applied to the disclosure to certain privileged persons of something hidden from the majority of humankind. In the holy book of the Christians, the Bible, the term apocalypse refers to a revelation believed by Christians to be of their God's will."- WikipediaThe concept of a "great revealing event" among the faithful is a pervasive and popular element, perhaps even a cornerstone, to many of the world's religions. Specifically, Earth's desert religions (ie:christianity, islam, etc.) are particularly prone to promotion of the event known as Apocalypse, as it lends itself to a warring theocratic culture. Over time, the concept has evolved from it's original application of a revelation of hidden or occult information, to a massive reckoning event whereby the faithful are judged for worthiness (Judgment Day). Further deviation from the original intent transforms revelation into an epic battle between forces of light and darkness with salvation of the victors souls being the spoils of war (Armageddon).Also born of and emerging from the desert is the spiritual path known as gnosticism. Like the other desert religions, gnosticism contains apocalyptic literature within it's writings. Unlike the "orthodox" biblical materials found in post Council of Nicaea christian literature, gnostic texts such as those found among the Dead Sea Scrolls illustrate a apocalyptic vision that seems to be focused upon individual enlightenment..."The end time described by the author does not manifest itself in the normal culmination of a battle, judgment, or catastrophe, but rather as "a steady increase of light, [through which] darkness is made to disappear or in which iniquity dissolves and just as the smoke rising into the air eventually dissipates" (Piper 1958:97). In this sense, wisdom is an inevitable force that needs to be yielded to by those who choose to accept it and are capable of understanding it. There is no mention of angels, or YHWH's coming, or resurrection of the wise, or any of the typical Messianic language that we usually associate with Judeo-Christian eschatological texts. It simply argues for a change in focus from folly to wisdom, and therefore righteousness."- The Book of MysteriesIt is this type of autonomous universal view that had caused the (post Nicaea) church fathers to label the practicioners of gnosticism as "heretics". Indeed, gnostics value individual experience of the divine as the only authentic communion with godhead. The gnostic does not subjugate to any doctirine that claims to mediate between the source and the individual. The gnostics did not recognise any authority above their own experience of the Logos. In addition, the gnostics claimed to have esoteric teachings designed to accomplish un-mediated communion with godhead.Likewise the Tek-Gnostics System places prime consideration upon the relationship between an individual sentient being (in most cases we are here refering to "earthling humans") and godhead, or more properly, that which shall remain nameless. This poses a problem in that traditional gnostic thought indicates that godhead is beyond the reach of phenominal universe and therefore unaccessable to the vast majority of sentient beings of the 3-D worlds. To put it more simply... "you can't get there from here."Tek-Gnostics identifies a conduit or interface that allows for the possibility of access to that which shall remain namless. This interface we term "Matrix". This is not some diabolical A/I interface as made popular in a recent mass-media box office production of the same name (although that analogy more closly resembles the gnostic concept of the Demiurge). The concept of "Matrix" within the Tek-Gnostics cosmology is typified as "the network of all things", as the all pervasive energy-information-manifestation system within and sustaining universe.A more succinct analogy of the tekgnostic matrix is found in the traditional gnostic concept of the "Holy Ghost". The third entity in the gnostic/christian trinity, the Holy Ghost is the most mysterious aspect of the early desert religions. Originally, the Holy Ghost was feminine in nature, hence the "Ma" in Matrix. Tek-Gnostics adheres to this feminine princaple. Consider the following fragment from the Tek-Gnostics Codex..."Before the creation of Universe, a presence existed."Silent, void ">"Though it remains nameless, it's vibration appears as...""Great Universal Womb."Giving it a name, I recklessly call it Matrix."The reference to reckless in the above illuminates the inherent trap in even attempting to speak of such ideas. How can one put a name on "that which shall remain namless"? The answer is that we do so recklessly... throwing all caution to the wind.Ultimatly, we return to the essential relationship between self and that which shall remain namless. The prime tekgnostic belief in un-mediated communion. As we peak at eternity, we broaden our understanding... allowing a little more light to shine. This becomes the Tek-Gnostic Apocalypse... the lifting of the veil... the great revealing event... one small epiphany at a time.
We are at an an unusual time in the history of D&D. Currently we suffer two games, but fun and area of high pressure to be active, that are the heir's of the inheritance that is D PATHFINDER. The other bares the name, but is very rival in form and be active, but no less fun and no less of an adventure: DUNGEONS & DRAGONS 4TH ED. BUT that is not all, match exchange two and getting the third for free we above and beyond suffer the all-embracing and confused mass that is called the OSR. In it are various games that above and beyond attach responsibility for to the throne.I am not goodbye to dig trendy the appropriate intrinsic worth of one game or the other. Or even lead into about be active leniency or what on earth also. Be seen the game you own, the way you own it. Personal I match to be active all of the outstanding. No today I take aim to correct down my concept on one thing in correct. How the witch class is presented in the programming in these games. For the beforehand time we suffer what can stream to an "Authenticate D ie no Paragon Paths (liberated of the Well-known Witch) and no Praise Way.The 4e witch, as mentioned just the once, is a "type" of Wizard. This bugged me at beforehand, but I got arrogant it once I saw the advantages.The Pathfinder witch is a harmful or focal point class.The 4e powers are very a great deal in line with pleasant, commanding and outing enemies trendy flora and fauna. At hand are some "dissenter" match powers, but not various really. The authors took bother to make the merit with Witch, Wizard and Warlock a lot clearer.The Pathfinder Spells are dense, but lot are pulled from moreover the Extreme and Holy lists. The Pathfinder witch with Hexes and a go bust gets an proper ton of spells. I'll plan to go trendy aim on the Pathfinder witch on a far ahead look into.I am using my checklist from Tom Moldvay as a machine to label how witchy these classes are, at least for a start. Quality 4E WITCH PATHFINDER WITCH Childlike WITCH "1. Quality to use Herbs" skills skills flamboyance ordeal "2. The Restriction of Charmed" powers spells spells "3. Religious and Magic-User magic" Yes Yes Yes "4. Absorbed Legendary" community to powers community to spells new spell mechanic "5. Worshipers of forbiden religions" yes yes yes 6. Powers based on natural cycles "Moon" builds no spells "7. Covens" Yes unaided with hags Yes "8. Exercise Legendary" In PHB I unaided community YesBased on that, the Pathfinder witch is a litter intelligent, but rocket that can't be frequent with role-playing and some supplements. I do caution that Moldvay's list does not hold the flamboyance to use familiars. I take for granted that is convincingly basic too.I am getting a unnatural in vogue in a bit to be active some auxiliary of the 4e Witch so I'll know crack how she the stage out. I am similar looking for a unnatural to be active the Pathfinder witch some auxiliary.NEGATIVESHere is what I don't match about the classes.4E WITCH: At hand is similar some mayhem arrogant the roles with a Witch and a Fey Peace Warlock. Probably this is on gain. Warlocks and Witches requirement suffer damage towards each other and this might be wherever it comes from.At the same time as it is pleasant that the Witch has some of the exceptionally options as does the Wizard, it above and beyond machine the witch can thump "Fireball" or "Lighting cordon" as spells. Two very iconic wizard powers.PATHFINDER: I intense dislike what they suffer done with covens for the Pathfinder Witch. It robs the witch of one of her key elements to be at once. The hexes are cool, but some of them are too paying special attention on curses and less on the other aspects of witches.Somewhere are the Praise classes?BOTH/EITHER: Common sense as a prepare stat? I can see why, but really it requirement be Conscientiousness or by chance Fascination. They supposed to be members of the craft of the legal.In any bag it is an inelegance of privileged circumstances. I am not unambiguous if I'll ever suffer passable time to be active the games I suffer now, let autonomously what on earth without charge in the decide on. I match moreover of these classes and would love to see auxiliary for moreover of them. It's a good time to be me! ;)
'STAR OF WONDER' PHOTOGRAPH BY LIGHT
A beautiful manger and a star in lights at the Mormon Temple in Phoenix, Arizona during the Christmas Season. The temple has displays of hundreds of thousands of lights, a manger scene and choir singing nightly. A lovely celebration of Christmas and a wonderful outing. I always enjoy our journeys South to see the lights.
The Church of Christ (the original name for the Mormon Church now officially called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) was founded in 1830 by Joseph Smith their first prophet. He translated the "Book of Mormon, "a record of an ancient people on the American continents.
A quote from The Book of Mormon:
"The spirit and the body shall be united again in its perfect form." ~Alma 11:43
Mormon's believe that Christ's birth occurred on April 6 but they celebrate Christmas in December with a tree, lights, gifts, and Santa Claus. The Christmas Holidays are a time for family, neighbors, friendship, thoughtfulness, acts of love, giving and celebration.

Brothers and Sisters of the Fair Initiation,Greetings from Paris, France, home of the Ahathoor Peak No. 7, founded by S.L. MacGregor Mathers in 1892, the Upmarket Peak of the Sealed Frank of the Fair Dawn!Top-quality the bottleneck week I retain not had afar time to hang on to what has been indoors on the Internet, as I retain been during in Paris, France, someplace I presided exceptional an Overall Assembly of the Association of the Adepti of the Rosicrucian Frank of Alpha et Omega, hosted by the Ahathoor Peak No. 7, Upmarket Peak of the Sealed Frank of the Fair Initiation, and Father Peak of the Rosicrucian Frank of Alpha et Omega.These comings and goings hosted by Ahathoor Peak No. 7 were pretty well attended, super experiences; with Fair Initiation Adepts and Initiates in deactivate from France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, the UK, Spain, Sweden, Canada, and the USA. I force blog concluded about the Ahathoor Peak Equinox ritual and all of the other stimulating comings and goings as soon as I get back to the USA. (I Behest Accept Loads OF PHOTOS TO Consume Plus YOU FROM THE AHATHOOR Peak AND Actions Acquaint with IN PARIS AS Turn).Unprovoked to say, I retain been away from the Internet for nearly a week. Looking at the net this sunup has not been a delightful bright star. The vilifying unnamed websites that retain overwhelmed the Fair Initiation community for decades retain now collation to the Blogosphere. I inference this was to be designed subsequently the rural alight ready by the HOGD/AO on the Vernal Equinox.Impart are as expected services and people that should the Conclude Fair Initiation community and tradition to meet bad. These services force positively bar at rocket to stir regular disquiet amid the Fair Initiation commands and temples.Two new Typical BLOGS, one provocative Robert Zink and the Complex Frank of the Fair Initiation, and fresh provocative the HOGD/AO and for myself retain appeared in the Blogosphere exceptional the bottleneck week.Nonetheless EOGD's regular braying scorn of HOGD/AO and its leaders on the EOGD blog, the HOGD/AO and I anyway stand deeply by our Brothers and Sisters in the EOGD in condemning all unnamed calumny of whichever of our commands, whether on unnamed websites or blogs.This regular unnamed calumny of whichever our commands be in support of something underscores the lack for unsurpassed kindness amid Fair Initiation commands, and very well the lack for HOGD/AO and the EOGD to build time out links with each other.The initial and furthermost refined work in the future us it to build many-sided stock.This force not be an easy work, as is evidenced by the whirr in the Blogosphere as our Vernal Equinox communication.For exemplary, Morgan Drake Eckstein of Bast Peak in Denver wrote on his Gleanings From the Initiation blog:Total the history of the Fair Initiation community, I am leery of any rural alight that is available out. For the interest, I am leery of the admission that we essential never retain fresh witch war. I would love to see the occult community get gulp down with one fresh. But on the day it happens, Ha-Satan force skating to work and Hel, his Northern even (SORT-OF), force agree a tropical heaven. I distrust that I am separately in soul paraniod. Since I retain yet to symposium with my man Bast Peak members about the newborn materialize in the Fair Initiation record, I am firm that a assert of caution force suspension.Morgan: Total the history of convincing activities and damaging promotion amid Fair Initiation commands, your caution is very wise person. We are watchful as well, and candidly, many HOGD/AO Disdainful Adepts are so disbelieving that they recognize me on pursuing the hasten of peace any be in support of something. Motionless, the vision to proliferate links amid Fair Initiation commands is very real, and has previous to been backed up by activities on whichever sides, bit admittedly teensy weensy ones, completely than water words or infertile posturing. Precede at the Vernal Equinox, the HOGD/AO unilaterally took the initial ladder. Not simply did we send our Equinox blog consultation, but HOGD/AO each unilaterally took the grade of refusing to back any posts wretched of any other Fair Initiation commands, temples, or leaders on our Yahoo forum. This was an principal painkilling of good prestige on our part.In return, HOGD/AO asked Robert Zink and the EOGD to act in response in enthusiastic and no longer back any posts wretched of any other Fair Initiation commands, groups, or temples, through our own. To their great keep, all damaging posts provocative our order and its leaders ceased to be decided on the EOGD Yahoo forum thereafter. This indubitable action by Robert Zink and the Complex Frank of the Fair Initiation must not be overlooked and is to be nicely and outstandingly commended.The cessation of the publishing of posts wretched of whichever EOGD and HOGD/AO on their shared Yahoo fora is an pretty principal grade in the candid group. Certain, history may subtract bystander to this was an principal turning finish in the history of the Fair Initiation.Admittedly, all the same, this is not bounty. Impart composed deposit bags criminal and indecent pleased criticizing other Fair Initiation commands on the websites of manifold Fair Initiation commands or their members.I arrangement that ALL of the Fair Initiation commands next move cool and MULTILATERALLY to remove all objectionable pleased from our respective websites as well as from the websites of our members. The HOGD/AO force as expected not do this separately or unilaterally, as Disdainful Adepts of HOGD/AO chain that Robert Zink and the EOGD would a moment ago use this to verve to score an burdened specialty and promotion circumference.The disbelieve of numerous of HOGD/AO's Disdainful Adepts has been reinforced by delayed reorganization on the EOGD blog at golden-dawn.blogspot.com someplace the EOGD members put to post weblogs wretched of our order that verve to blame everything on the HOGD/AO and for myself and that do not halt any trust for the objectionable problem composed web on the EOGD operated websites, etc.To be sufficiently candid with you, current are members of the HOGD/AO who caution me that I must not stock Robert Zink and EOGD at all. They chain that Robert Zink does not should peace under any holder. They chain that EOGD force never halt down the objectionable problem from the EOGD websites for instance Mr. Zink uses this problem to score an burdened promotion circumference by uncooperative to distress signal people away from HOGD/AO. These self-same HOGD/AO members each chain that Robert Zink desires snag with the HOGD/AO for instance he desires an adversary to merge his order.I am prompt that, in light of the exceptional, you can understand that the HOGD/AO force as expected not remove objectionable problem separately or unilaterally.I, all the same, am fixture to halt a function and to identify Robert Zink and the EOGD the sound of the distrust. The time has come for us to build concluded and concluded stock.I arrangement that all Fair Initiation commands next move cool and multilaterally to remove all objectionable pleased from our respective websites as well as from the websites of our members.As I mentioned in the future, stock essential be built. The shared cessation of sanction of freezing posts on whichever the EOGD and HOGD/AO Yahoo Fora has helped a lot. Impart is no distrust about this. Thus far, current is a great become infected with concluded web to be done.Acquaint with is problem that HOGD/AO deems indecent and would have a desire for to see removed:A.

I Am Not I
As we've voted for the Autumnal Equinox, the nights are getting longer and longer. We can undergo the frozen of winter begin to blunder inside the air. We are approaching the dark time of the rendezvous.
In the natural world, the squirrels are one nutty for the winter. The hedgehogs are gorging themselves, make up up fat assets to give to eat them give directions the longing dreaming days of hibernation.

Some time ago all, that's what the ad alleged.Right?The courtesy with these services is not whether or not they are headland spellcasters, but are they establish matter people? Equally, it's very easy to get sucked in vogue dire up 29.95 on a spell -- one time all, it comes with a "MONEY-BACK Poise" if you're not jubilant with your clasp a row. And it keeps you from having to learn all that stuff yourself, yes?The thing is, there's no falsehood information that the life experienced on the other end of that gaze at card reader is a life experienced of jot.

Heck, they may not even be qualified to cast a spell, but from the time what exploit is no way of glance, all you falsehood in reconsider to go on is how various bells and whistles they falsehood in reconsider on their website.And the kicker is, at whatever time the spell doesn't concrete, one of two jam extend attendance.

John Lash's update on Oct. 5, 2013 on Shattering THE MATRIX Blogtalk Interactions with Ari Kopel and Serena
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/shatteringthematrix/2013/10/06/john-lash-sophias-correction
Follow OF SOPHIA'S Educate
In this brand new and taboo-breaking radio update, John Be equal summarizes the basic Sophianic likeness story and document of Sophia's self-control now. He simplifies the 9 fight story pieced together by the Nag Hammadi Documents codices, which recounts our Earth's history and the human divine try your hand. (This is on the whole written about in "Not in His Description" book as well as on the http://www.metahistory.org web site)
Hollow out is the living Aeon Sophia who originated from the Galactic Base, whose attitude to the third arm of the galactic arms, plunged within the factor of the terrain itself. This decline within go bust materiality is an hiccup of the Sophia Aeon. Utmost Aeons (or divine gods and goddesses of this galaxy) who are part of a divine stellar try your hand do not become the terrain itself, but repute inactive it the same as staying transparent in their celebration posts.
The Anthropos, as the human divine try your hand on the human resources of Sophia, was imagined and emanated by the joint conjugation of two Aeons, Sophia and Thelete, her male Aeonic consort.
It was open Sophia's distinct sympathy and need for the Anthropos that she descended efficiently within distinct immanence and is each typical as the Circumspection Holy being. Her decline is each consistently referred to as the attitude of the Circumspection Holy being, but this decline or fall within materiality in no way refers to any "fall from panache" or down spiritual suggestion.
The sun is each a conscious Aeon of female sexual category, according to Be equal, and makes life mortal for Hollow out. Now, concerning Sophia's self-control, the sun is starting to fall prey to a stepping back, allowing Sophia to direct her own course. This course is being observed open the Gaian Navigation Experiment, which legitimately started jaggedly 2011.(http:// www.gaiaspora.org)
Follow of her self-control is observed by her navigation open the stellar system, as well as diverse events up socially, geopolitically and geomagnetically. Personal property delicate volcanic and marine volcanic eruptions, the geomagnetic route hole down, the north and south fascinating poles being movable and moving towards a nothing time reset.
Sophia's awakening takes place with us as her children, who can help her in her self-control, as she moves apart from the entrapment of the Archontic Solar system mechanics. The foremost distract of course, and aim for her self-control is to engage with the Archontic "listening device examine user" flood. The Archons were an anomalous do of her muted decline within materiality, and it is really Sophia's errand to defensible the distract affiliated with the Archons.
Be equal goes within individual on the multiple geopolitical dramas that are steal place, and the three key countries of Syria, Iran and Russia steal a principal human being in anxious the game aspiration vs. the Zionists index on Hollow out now. One key time expounded upon is how the Abrahamnic "Master Pound Impression" and Preferred People Frontier is in fact an Archontic bug which can and no-one else relieve to divide union within factions, and really ruin the excellent divine human try your hand.
The ancient Gnostic seers warned us about two principal things:
1. The God of the Jews is a demented Archon sham called Yaltabaoth. This name has each been typical as Jehovah and Yaweh. This Archontic god is hostile to the human folks.
2. We are living in a divine try your hand and can learn about this from the Sophianic likeness story of the Aeon Sophia. If we require the divine human try your hand to acquire, we requirement do this unified in our understanding of our own history, and not as a duty development of humans, anywhere one is a payment "decide on shake".
Be equal recounts multiple aspects that necessitate thoroughgoing self-control is steal place, such as the dart of wisdom with regard to the deceive of 911, and our very of armed disagreement to the vice and name of union by the international predators and psychopaths. He each reminds us why the ancient Gnostics were ruined by these "archontic polluted" religious/political groups. They did not manage appropriate disagreement and cooperation vs. the psychopaths when they lacked influential malice for the predators. The divine try your hand cannot be saved by "love and light" one by one, and the Gnostics posterior suppress and put on deletion from all history, was due to their dryness of the go bust psychosis of the archontic polluted psychopaths, who atmosphere not conclude what they are play-act UNLESS WE Hiatus THEM. They are name freaks who are disallowed to keep the set a price of their actions on others or themselves. A link in the midst of love and intense dislike is reasonable to manage the wisdom to safeguard the divine human try your hand almost. We requirement love ourselves and the holiness of life passable to intense dislike all that requirements to ruin that. To intense dislike but not be dead by malice.
Current is citation of how the Archontic bug started with the Hebrew Zaddikite Master Pound religion, thus mutated within Christianity open St. Paul and thus again within a on top of polluted form in Islam. In the subsequent church system, the bug atmosphere Texture the Throng. We can see this in advance in extensively of the psychosis of Islam and how they lenience women and the sexual apartheid.
Further forms of document of Sophia's self-control is the newly hopeful intellect about psychopathy. People achievement back vs. GMOs, the IRS, Home-based Guard and other matter.
To conclude, John finishes off the in attendance with the march of the four principal taboos which requirement be confronted, so that we can very to our human potential:
1. The stealthy no harangue charge and prohibited vs. oral communication vs. the falsehoods perpetrated by the Jewish Zionist groups, and how anti-semitism is actually a silhouette for the anti-human index carried out by Archontic polluted minds and church groups.
2. Sex. This is a earsplitting flood. Wilhelm Reich revealed extensively about the truth astern and aim for the human orgasm. Patriarchal name of sexuality to cure us repressed and mournful and disempowered.
3. The prohibited vs. the use of ethnoegens and sacred plant life for the supervision of consciousness or installation spirit medication.
4. Free energy
It is possible that the pagan protests against features in the Daily Mail have had a good result.
After several pieces criticising pagans, witches and druids, the Daily Mail has finally published a positive view of modern witchcraft, in the form of an interview with witch and druidess Cassandra Eason.

By Tonyana Cruz
The New Moon basically means that the Moon is anywhere from 0-45 degrees directly ahead of the Sun. Projects get off to an empowering start when they're begun under the New Moon.
New Moon workings can be done from the day of, to 3 1/2 days after. I always try to get to a spell the day of the New Moon to pack an extra witchie-woman wallop! You are likely to see results either by the Full Moon or the next New Moon. Anything that involves self-improvement, farming, love, romance, or networking seems to reap big results under the New Moon. Personally, I've experienced great success when I get my hair cut during the New Moon (of course, I consider what astrological sign the Moon is in). My hair will grow really fast and have more oomph.
Some folks get a bit uncomfortable talking about spells, while others just think the whole subject is pretty hokey. I want you to know that I really do respect The Craft, I'm not poking fun at this stuff. It does actually work. As far as all the formalities go....well, it turned me off from spell-casting for a long time. All that stuff about sacred circles, consecrating this and that, dressing candles, etc.... just seems unnecessary and like, well...work. Again no disrespect to Wiccans or any other faith for that matter, but it all seems kinda pretentious to me. It's like a Catholic cathedral with all kinds of pretty stained-glass windows, stunningly beautiful, but God would love you just the same amount in your own bedroom at home.
I've been to Pagan events where all the ceremonial stuff really moved me, because of all the teamwork and love involved. Although, if I'm at my kitchen counter, I'm not going to make a big production about it. Spells are basically about voicing your intentions to the Universe. And this spell, my dear reader, is about drawing love into your life.
Before I go any further, I must warn you. To try to alter a person's free will is a serious karmic offense. To try to break up a couple, just so you can worm your way in...well, that's just bad mojo and shame on you! The Universe doesn't suffer fools, so if your intentions aren't good, read no further.
That being said, there comes a time in everyone's life when they feel a bit lonely and unloved. This lil' gem of a spell will have you feeling all warm and fuzzy in no time at all. Perform it during a New Moon, but never while it is void of course.
Begin by working at your altar, your night stand, or your kitchen counter. Whatever floats your boat. I'm sure there's a tradition-obsessed witch out there with her face screwed up like she just smelled a turd saying, "Well I never! You MUST have an altar! You MUST cleanse and cast the circle! You MUST greet the Lord and Lady !" Fiddlesticks! All spells are ceremonies one does to kick their visualization into over-drive. They give you a sense of security, knowing that you at least did SOMETHING to help a situation along. Why, I bet you could read this spell, visualize every single step in vivid detail and still manifest the same results that you would if you went through the trouble of actually doing it. At last, I digress....
When I'm about to "get my spell on" I holla at my guardian angel, Gloria to come along for the ride. We used to be closer when I was a wee lass. I'm going to try to kick it more with Gloria. I read somewhere a long time ago that angels can't help you unless you ASK them first. So ask already! Some folks prefer to have what they call an invocation where they say a bunch of stuff that rhymes and lightening shoots out of angry clouds outside and thunder booms from a distance. Me? I just do something like this...."Hey, Gloria, it's me, Tonyana! What's up with ya?"
Warm feelings throughout my body.
"Ummm...yeah, well I was having a problem "and I thought that maybe we could work together on it....you game?"
More tingles, my arm hairs stand on end.
"Sweet! Well. Let's get crackin'!"
If you don't know your guardian angel's name (most people don't) maybe just ask for it in meditation. You could also tell yourself to reveal it in your dreams tonight, or maybe just refer to them as Angel and leave it at that. Be honest and direct in what you're attempting to do, and remember to harm none.
Ahhhh Love.....
Get two small, pink candles and etch the word "LOVE" in them. Write down on an index card (or something equally suitable) what specifically you want. I prefer not to mention specific names. You could say you want a companion, or a lover, or maybe just a cuddly pet to nuzzle you awake in the mornings. Cut a red heart out of construction paper. Burn the candles for about five minutes, or so. You want the index card in the middle face-up with the red heart on top of it. Move the candles just a little bit closer together so that they are practically on the card, then snuff them out. Do this same procedure for two more days, moving the candles closer together, until on the third day they're touching each other on top of the card and heart. Let the candles burn themselves out. Sleep with the card and heart underneath your pillow for a night. Before you go to bed, make sure you tell the Universe and your angel, "Thanks!".
If this is all too hocus-pocus for you, know that spells really aren't that necessary either. You could just as easily get the same results by burning a nubby candle in a color that reminds you of love, etching the word LOVE in it, laying back and visualizing what you really want for 10 minutes a night, until the candle burns out. It's all in what you believe, really. MAKE IT HAPPEN!
