I’ve learned on my own path the opportunity for magic more often find me than I find it. My most uncommon practice would be embracing those opportunities wherever and when ever they present themselves.
I'm inclined to think it's more a case of Christianity being more dualist than Judaism so the Devil is less inclined to make bets with the LoH when you're dealing with a Christian narrative (he'd just attack...
I don't disagree. Not a huge fan of the duplicity OT God sometimes displays. The argument for some is that Christ changed a lot and this type of bargaining is basically gone. Still, there are some American...
Naked counterclockwise dance. Weird, oddly specific. Understandable in the same lens of reciting the lords prayer backwards....but otherwise, I was always wondering "who are the f-ing nudists?"
To be semi-fair, I can't actually call Heresy on this one quite as hard as I can certain other silly ideas. The story of Job does basically have the LoH give a green light to seriously screwing with some poor...
I feel my practice has gotten much more craft like over time. Crystals don't speak to me, ceremonial planetary magic is lofty and usually overkill, but old fashioned wood and dirt witchcraft had really...
I think it's more that traditional Wicca is almost entirely opposed to your perceived moral stance on a fairly fundamental level, yet this is the name and religion you've identified with here. Wicca is also an...
Ah yes the monolithic "we" witch cult which is totally historical and present across all pre-christian societies. As though Christians invented hypocrisy and lies. Most victims of the trials were completely...
Christians with their brotherly love burned at the stake an estimated 2,000 witches in about 500 years. We were driven underground and now karma is our sword.
Christianity and it's sheer hypocrisy are dying...
So the elaborated theory of witchcraft is the belief that cabals of witches existed in society with the express intent of undermining Christian society through their insidious, explicitly diabolical, craft. To...
I believe it is too. The hammer was very influential in establishing what and how witches worked. Like second most popular book at the time after the bible influential.
Maybe we should have a mod copy/merge...
There's like so much from trad craft, Crowley, early Wicca, ect. It's sometimes wild to me how out of touch with history many younger witches are now. It's not that ceremonial or classical magic isn't still...
The idea is super old and comes from witch belief of the middle ages. Supposedly witches in their convenient with Satan engaged in perversion of Christian rites. Things like the Lord's prayer backwards (it was...
I'd have to say one thing I've seen fall out of practice in general is various blood magics. It used to be we used to blood to consecrate items, dedicate items, make offerings of, etc. But today other than a...
Purely speculative on my part but I think it was a combination of the Satanic Scare of the 70's and the idea of the Black Mass. Part of Satanism of that period was reciting the lord prayer backwards and the...
So, after discovering that Witchcraft books in the 70s had a thing for pushing that people should recite the Lord's Prayer backwards to disconnect from the Church/Christ (thanks Monsno), I got curious. What...
Why? Why was this a thing?
Mystically and mentally, I'm pretty sure that there are far more potent rites that can be set up at minimal risk then reciting gibberish at a candle. The would be practitioner is...
Hmmm.:=L: You are of the age of long communication while I am of the age of 250 characters maximum. ......ahhhhh.
Why do you insist on me being this or that? To Hades with titles and names. You appear to...
Now your discussing humanity in general. it's not specifically about conforming or being this or that. It's about humanity trying to understand and identify how a thing or person fits into the larger picture...
Today's witches want to fit into today's society...laughable. We ought to transform society not the other way around. We have the power not society.

And one more thing, why is it that...
You intrigue me. Your profile indicates your Wiccan yet the few posts you have would suggest something more like Traditional Witchcraft, perhaps even BTW (British Traditional Wicca). Yet definitely not...
