Personally I don't believe there is any black or white when it comes to magic. It's the intent behind the magic which sets the tone.   But a friend of mine is working on something, and needs to find out. She wants to know if there are groups who practice without the normal moral code, without any "you shouldn't do that" or "that's dangerous" rules. Who prefer working in the dark, without protection by a circle etc.  less

  The Eternal Path  Revised 16 May 2012 (gramatical reasons)...  moreThe Eternal Path  Revised 16 May 2012 (gramatical reasons) Axiomatic and Mysterious Ancient theories of life and human existence have become axiomatic in most cultures by default. Typically these axiomatic ideas assert the origin of things and are used to rationalize thinking about how and why events seem driven to occur in human experience. Most of these ideas were accepted without challenge only because human limitations seemed to prevent further investigation of the presumed cause of such experience. Axioms are culture specific phenomena and are not uniformly accepted in all cultures and much of the mystery concerning these cultural assumptions persists only because general agreement about them is often disputed like various doctrines of faith. Even the assumption that we are separate from the whole of life as unique individuals is an axiomatic assumption that is generally accepted without much argument despite evidence to the contrary.      We mention the diversity of axi...    less

Englobe us here (who stand with me) in one great orb of your bright power. We separate this special place apart from shadows and their lies We make for thee a sacred space, a temple in you blessed eyes.   We make for thee this honor due for life, for love, for lust, and death. We praise for you who in us drew the pattern of our every breath. Beloved One of Ancient Days, we pray please stay this mystic night. Remind us of your wicked ways as we conduct your holy rite.

I have a background in what I call Falwellian religion (based on Jerry Falwell and Liberty University) as I grew up in Lynchburg, VA until my dad finished college to be a preacher.   You know what they say about being a preacher's daughter.  I was that cliche in my teens until my early twenties with two girls before I was 22.  I found Scott Cunningham's books in the library and taken those books to heart.   About nine months ago, I started having issues with my health (migraines) and after countless rounds of "does this medicine work", differnt doctors, a six + month leave of absense from work that means I lost my job and finally three surgeries, I can finally see the other side.   Now that I can think without pain again (for the most part), I felt the need to reconnect with those around me.  Since I am still having some trouble, don't like being surrou...    less

From clouds and snow flakes, to crystals and blood vessels, approximate fractals are easily found in nature. Coined by french mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975, a "fractal" is a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole, a property called "self-similarity". In the case of natural fractals, they display self-similar structure over an extended -but finite- scale range. Fractals are everywhere, from cauliflowers to our blood vessels. No matter how you divide a fractal nor how closely or distantly you zoom in, its shape stays the same. They have helped model the weather, measure online traffic, compress computer files, analyse seismic tremors and the di...    less

My name is Bobbie and I've been a devotee of Hecate for seven years now and a pagan for fifteen. Although I am attracted to the darker things in life I am sweet at heart. I find walking through the dark and embracing the undesireable can make you a strong person and apprecaite the beautiful things even more. Yes my pentacle may be upside down and I walk with a dark Goddess but I don't do spellwork just pure love and ritual for my deity. I already love this place and thank you for the warm welcome.  less
