I don't have a word for what I believe and practice. I am Pagan, but Pagan is just an umbrella term for many different paths. I want a specific word like the Wiccans and Druids have. OK, here is what I believe and practice:

God/dess is like a diamond. I don't think God/dess actually is a diamond, but the diamond analogy works the best. Each facet of the diamond represents a belief. Christianity has a facet, Wicca has a facet, Druidry has a facet, etc. Each facet is separate and unique, yet it's all part of the one diamond.

As for what I practice, I use my personal energy to travel dimensions, to access the ether, to form and use spiritual weapons and shields, and to walk in another's mind and inner worlds. I also use powers from my patron goddess, Bastet. I also follow your basic Pagan tenets, such as reincarnation and divination.

So, what is my word? Does my path have a word, or am I going to have to make one up? Suggestions?

Thank you!

I got this call from some survey place wanting my opinions on something. I told her no I didn't want to and slammed the phone down. I'm on the 'do not call' list, but apparently then don't have that.. I should've wrote the name of the place down so I could file a complaint

Afterwards I was thinking about it - the way to go about this is to get them so confused that they would be the ones hanging up...

I came up with things like
phone sex
talk in some contrived language that you're making up on the spot
be so contradictory that you make no sense at all
repeat the question back to them over and over..

The list of what you can pull on them is endless.

If you live in the NYC area you know what a phone tap is. If you don't, one of the local radio stations here calls people with some phony story and gets them all riled up... alot of these scenarios could be used with the telemarketers...

The goal is to get them to hang up. What do you think?

Thou shall not kill, while at work she explained to me that meant all creatures, she thought this was a test because right after meditation she walked into the kitchen and there was a cricket staring at her, she doused it with raid then stepped on it, she now wonders should she have killed it or just let it go.

People say that creating a spell you made makes it even more powerful. If this is true, how come most people/witches I know by their spells from spell books online or from a bookstore?

And secondly, just to make sure, a spell usually involves candles, herbs, or special dance and a chant or poem of some sort, am I missing something?

I think he is pathetic... the only reason he makes all of these non-sense comments is just to get our attention. He is lonely and just want to prove his very existence through these annoying (or interesting, depends on how you look at it) comment. Something must make him feel very lonely... I believe. Agree? Should we show him that he is not alone?

If they are, do you have to agree or you can refuse and ask to find another guy/girl?

god expects us to forgive people who hurt us in horrendous ways but where is his forgiveness when it comes down to believing in him. I mean at the end of the day there isnt any real hard evidence that he exists so how can he blame us for having doubts. Aswell as that i dont seem to see where his nice guy image comes from as he has many people living in fear if they dont follow his rules. Why must he destroy the earth and release many natural disasters and diseases like it says in the book of revelations. Maybe the fallen angel aka the devil may have a point and just didnt agree with all of gods dictatorship on how we should live our lives which surely makes the devil the good guy. i mean what has he really done that is that bad?

Given the fact that I have no argument with any organised religion, should I just detonate my explosive belt in a field, alone.
I really don't want to hurt anyone.
That's not nice.
I'd like the World to know we have a voice too though.
We seem to have been forgotten.

Would you also tell us how far you've gone with secular education (high school, college, university, bachelor, master's, PhD, and in what field)?

Thank you.

If you look at a map of Saudi Arabia, you may see the label "Jabal Tuwaya" in the central part of the nation. What does the Arabic word "Jabal" mean?

Adam and Eve. Noah's Ark. Jonah and the Gulper Eel.

Really folks, how can you possibly believe these stories???

You do realize these are only stories, don't you? Or have you really been THAT misled, and that brainwashed?

Please, in your own words, tell me how you can believe this.

If you give me copy and paste or quote scripture at me, I won't read it.

Surely you are able to argue on your own behalf.

We used to have strict segregation law in this country, would you feel more comfortable swimming in a public pool of all your own race, or eating in a restaurant with only people of your skin color?
