How come the school libraries have tons of books on Christianity, Jusaism, and Islam, but have no books what-so-ever on Wicca/Neopaganism? Or even Hinduism or Buddhism for that matter? I mean, that's a little prejudice right?

I am holding a circle on Ostara and I need some advise from a wise practitioner. What are some good spells and chants to use for my Ostara ritual? I've never held my own circle before. I've always attended others' circles, and so other than the basics of a circle (like invoking the elements) I don't really know what to do!!! Help!

What the f,uck?

How come, (And yes, I'm asking this question here on purpose!!), whenever someone has a problem, Christians think that throwing god at it fixes it!!??

For instance, There was a question about depression in mental health, and how someone could help broedom from depression, and some guy told her to get into a 'relashionship' with god!!

Wtf?

QUESTION:
Why do ppl think god is going to fix all of their problems!?

I am a middle schooler and am going to graduate in a few monthes. when i was resently talking to some fellow Christians who were in high school. they said that going to the mall as a teenager in Christian gear gets some pretty disgusting looks and such. why is the American public against the teenager being a Christian?? lots of teenagers are Christians and i know that even if you could control minds not everyone would be Christians, but it is a religion, what make a Christian teenager different from everyone else?

Why should we let their fears destroy our thirst for knowledge. I did this when I was young.
People who have the need to make others look weak, are weak themselves.
Be STRONG my children.

ESP is a sin


God wants us to do good


If we use ESP(a sin) to do good, are we sinning?

I am interested in both wicca and witchcraft and I was wondering if you could mention some good websites that teach you about the religion. Thanks.

If your interpretation of the words "call no man on earth father" were taken literally, it would be a repudiation of Christ's teachings, and so a sin, to call Washington the father of our country; Copernicus that father of astronomy; Pasteur the father of the science of bacteriology, or even the head of a family, father. For remember that Christ did not say "call no priest Father on earth." It may interest you to know that it was a priest, an Augustinian named Father Matthew Carr, who first called Washington the Father of our country. That was during a sermon delivered at a memorial Mass in 1799 that was said for the salvation of the soul of Washington. Do you think that priest would have called him father if it took from God the Father any of the honor due to Him? Most decidedly, No!


While a priest by a name other than father might be just as sweet to Catholics, as it is in countries where the priest is called Monsieur, it would not properly designate him. The priest is truely a father. Through him we are reborn in water and the Holy Spirit, changed horn a state of nature to a state of grace, thus becoming adopted sons of God, brothers of Jesus Christ. The priest feeds us with the "super-substantial bread" we pray for in the Our Father, which nourishes our spiritual being. When we fall from grace by sin, he, as ambassador of God, restores us repentant sinners to the friendship of God. He blesses our marriages; and when we are sick unto death, he anoints us, prepares us for either restoration to health or fitness to meet our God. Besides all that, during our life, and after our death, he offers up the Sacrifice of the Altar, and prays for our heavenly wellbeing.

In a word, the priest is truly our spiritual father, an alter Christus, who functions by the will and in the name of Christ. For these reasons we delight to lovingly call him, father, and in so doing we add to instead of take away from our Father who is in heaven that primary honor that is due Him.

Some are easy to understand. Our body is made of a portion of chemicals, Earth. We are of course 80%
Water. We must have Air to breath. And if one accepts the spiritual, which the material comes from, Spirit.
But what about Fire? Is the electricity that flows through
the synapses in our brains and through our nervous systems, to make our muscles move and have physical
sensations the element of Fire?

Can someone who is Wiccan just worship the God and Goddess, or do you have to pick specific ones (like Bridgid for example)?

this question was asked just moments ago
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aj2GmybhBRIEml1zNokh_5ZFLxV.?qid=20070225133217AAr9UJ0
it was about night terrors
and many answered it was demons and all manner of scary stuff
yet we know now about sleep paralysis and other sleep disorders .
could it be when we were ignorant to such disorders , people simply put it all down to demons ?
why have some not moved away from this way of thinking ?

Don't let me overwhelm you. I've had 50 years of Life to learn what I have. And I'm still learning.
I just learned something interesting studying Kabbalah.
Whenever we do something good. That draws us to the positive side of things, and the negative will automatically
be drawn to us to fill the void.
Let me explain this in laymans terms. (So the average
person can understand). Which is my forte, (specialty).
Just like when you open a door, and air is sucked out
creating a vacuum, (or lack of air in that space). Air will
rush in to fill that space.
Spiritual forces work on this same principal.

I was in a religious study class and we were talking about the Hutterites and their ties to Austria and Germany. The professor asked if any of us had Germany ancestory and I was the only one to raise my hand. She called me a "manic germ" and it offended me. I am missing something or just having fun?
