I know, I know, you shouldn't ask for spells. I'm not going to use it exactly as is, I'm just sourcing inspiration from others.

I work best with candle magick and visualisation. I'm not overly keen on a great big shopping list but can be creative if it's called for.

I was a solitary witch for a number of years but stopped about two years ago due to life getting in the way of me *being* ME! Now, I'm back on board with a passion to fulfill my spirituality and become one with the greater beings! I'm so happy I could burst!

BUT I still want a glamour spell because I've got some issues about the way I look and it's for New Years Eve people! Party central!

Blessed Be to all who take the time to answer!

Islamic history tells that when prophet Muahmemd conquered Mecca, he gave a list of 10 names for people whom should be killed wherever they were found, even if they were inside the Ka'aba (the most holy place for Msulims).

Among those people who should be KILLED was a woman with the name of Sara. The reason prophet Muhammed killed her was because she went to him once asking for some charity because she was broke, and prophet Muhammed gave her money and food on hope she might convert to Islam, but she took the money and food and returned back to her town without converting to Islam.

That story raises many questions:
1- Is refusing to convert to Islam should be punished by DEATH?
2- Was being a Muslim a condition to receive charity?
3- Why did prophet Muhammed violate the many Quranic verses that gave immune for people who enter the Ka'aba (the most holy place for Muslims)?

There is a prophetic statement that tells us that prophet Muhammed knew about the intention of his son-in-law (Ali) to marry another woman in addition to Muhammed's daughter (Fatma). When he knew that, prophet Muhammed got angry and he said he would not agree on that.

Why did not prophet Muhammed agree on that although he himself was married to NINE women at the time?

Some people say that the reason was that the new bride that Ali was going to marry was the daughter of Muhammed's enemy (Abu Gahl), but I am still confused because many of prophet Muhammed's wives were daughters of his enemies as well (Abu Sofyan as well as most Jewish tribes).

Was there a real reason for prophet Muhammed to prohibit something while he himself was doing the same thing?

Earlier I asked if atheist thought the bible contained any practicle wisdom, and most who answered said yes, apart from the religious references, which I can understand; but one answerer said that civilized societies pre-date mono religion and although true, my point of contention is all of those societies and until today seemed to have an innate tendenciy toward war. Even with the Greeks, an attribute of the pederastic relationship was to train the young boy to be a warrior. So even though they were living well for their time, they still weren't satisfied and had an innate propensity to be power hungry, arrogant, ungrateful, insatiable appitites for decadence, etc., .

Which for me demonstrates the need for enlightenment or redemption, meaning that the submission to a higher power is the cure for these uncontrolable desires.

Also, if the early Christians had not been evolving from this type of mentality they may not have resorted to Holy War to make their point. Any thoughts?
