Who here has actually been to a drumming circle, Sabbat Celebration or coven circle?

Answer 1

I've been in Wiccan circles, the gathers at one of the local Druid groves and the public events put on by one or more of the local groups. There is much to be said for each, and a lot of good can come of them. The public events are fun, as, generally are the open Wiccan circles and Druid gathers I've attended, though the smaller events can deal with more personal matters that may not be so happy.

Whatever your path, I do recommend you contact your local community; though our paths may be solitary, at least at times, it's not good for people to be too much alone.

Answer 2

I attended a drumming circle a few years back in the watchung mountains of New Jersey. It was a very intense, very overpowering experience. I felt myself drifting away from the sounds of the drums as the Shaman spoke and soon I was on what seemed like another plane of existence. I learned a lot about myself that night.

It's not something I would like to do every day.

Answer 3

Coven circle. *shudders* Last time I'll ever go to one of those.

Been to more than one Sabbat celebration, though

Answer 7

Answer 8

have seen a few people with demonic possesion - if you mess with the occult you open doors and give permission to demons to interfere with your life. Sure the witches here and pagans will say how new age and lovely it is etc. And I believe many are nice people - but even nice people can make mistakes and even nice people can get possesed or molested by dabbling with the occult and witch craft regardless if it is white magik or black magick. While it may not be as bad as those who directly invoke demons or the devil himself it still has elements of invoking the powers of nature and elementeral spirits and such. Trust me from personal experience be wary.

Only Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life. Try a good Catholic Church with a holy priest - look around they are still about! And yes as a number of good protestants have mentioned it is very clearly written in the bible it is dangerous to mess with the occult!

As for Christians killing witches etc. unfortunately some christians did go over the top yet at the same time if you look at the ancient aztecs, mayas and many other ancient religions and ancients witches and druids they had no problem about sacrificing not hundreds but thousands of people in honor of their spirits and gods and effigies and sacrifices - And I am sure most of them would not consider themselves as Satanist either.

I have met witches in the past and some of them as people come across as nice and pleasant but they are often very anti-established religion and often anti-Jesus unless Jesus is depicted as a Andy Pandy new age enlightened prophet man...

I hope this helps a little.

Jesus Loves you ask him to show you!

For a book on the subject and a former witch who was very high up check:

Title: FROM WITCHCRAFT TO CHRIST - IRVINE DOREEN
Code/ISBN: 0854765077
Publisher: KINGSWAY BOOKS
Description: The sensational true story of a woman rescued from Satan's grasp by the power of God

From prostitution, heroin and witchcraft to a life of joy and release in Christ, this classic Christian testimony is as relevant today as when it was first published. Doreen's experience may be extreme, yet it still offers hope… especially to those who consider purity to be a lost ideal, or who believe themselves to be beyond forgiveness and hope.

Totus Tous Maria!
