I have been visiting this site for many months now.
Yet, of all those I see who profess to know the ways of Witchcraft or Occult knowledge from other sources, I have still to find ONE person who actually knows the correct manner in which the rule of "threefold" works.

Obviously, the person to give me the right answer, or close to it, gets the points for their effort.

A hint to those who claim to know:
The belief that every action has a "threefold reaction", ie: any spell cast returns threefold, is incorrect.

Please explain in as much detail as you feel necessary, to allow me to fully understand the reasonings for your answer, thank you.

I recently bought a few crystals to "try it out". (Clear quartz, black tourmaline, angelite, and amethyst). Before I invest in more crystals, I would like to know more about this topic. Does anyone out there use crystals themselves and have knowledge to share? If so, that would be much appreciated.

I have heard stories on both sides of the issue: that is, some say it is a hoax, while others do not.

I would like to become more educated on this

In Tibet:
The bride relatives' put her on a tree and sit under it waiting for her groom who must face the challenge of climbing the tree and escaping by his bride from the hitting of her family, if he succeeded in this, this mean that he gain her parents faith.
In cook island:
The bride walks on the backs of youth in her village until she reaches the place her groom sitting in.
Indonesai: The bride is banned from walking in her marriage day; it’s the responsibility of her father to carry her on his shoulders to her new home even if this home is too far.
In Africa:
The bride in gobos tribe is compelled to perforate her tongue, putting in it the engagement ring, sinking down from the ring a string which allowed her husband to stop her from chatter by pulling down the string.
They thought that this is a good way to get rid of women's chatter, espically in the honeymoon!!!!
In negreto tribe:
In negreto tribe we will find the easiest habit in marriage, the bride and the groomgo to the mayor of their village who only hit their heads by this the marriage is completed (accomplished).

In morytanya
The bride's friends hide her, after that the groom began to search for her, if he searched with grief this means that he loves her very much but if he lags in searching this means that he doesn't love her.
They think that this is a good way measure the groom's love to his bride!!

JCB breaks speed record

A car made by JCB has broken its own diesel land speed record by reaching over 350mph.

The JCB Dieselmax reached the speed during two runs on the Bonneville salt flats in Utah, USA.

The Staffordshire-built vehicle was driven by Wing Commander Andy Green from RAF Wittering in Cambs.

The previous diesel land speed record is 236mph (380km/h), set in August 1973 reports the Guardian.

The Dieselmax car is powered by two turbo-charged JCB engines built at the company's plant at Rocester.

Wing Cdr Green completed a first run with an average speed of 365.779mph and returned at 335.695mph to set the latest record.

He said: "Fantastic. A second record in 24 hours, which I don't believe has been done since the 1960s.

"The car has still got loads to give. I throttled back on the second run and we haven't even used sixth gear yet, so the car can still go faster."

We know Jason and his Argonauts for their brave act in that “Golden Fleece” adventure. The sorcerer princess Medea supported and later married Jason but also killed their children. It seems her act was revenge against his infidelity. Does it mean he was survived and let the children to die? Or whether he too murdered by Medea?
