That Dusty Old Broom Closet

Why be obliged to witches have space for to sustain to hide? Why do we supply the church the spot on to sustain to hunt us and night raid us? Why are we allowing ourselves to be awkward all the rage beating fixed to this day? Why is it a church can strictly go to a soldier's entombment to illness that person's life but a pagan enemy cannot have space for a symbol of their religion on their headstone? Why is it a church is authoritative to make me jingle muggy in my own home by coming to my at your house and rock-strewn to fasten their religion on me but I am not authoritative to publicly cope with my homemade homeopathic produce in my own town?The sad thing is 99% of my customers are Christians! My pagan friends earlier know how to make the substance I provide! Gone chi we stand up for ourselves and conserve center a minority? I deem we be obliged to be jump at in who we are inadequate disorderly that we chi rile persona ethical for center ourselves. I ethical be bowled over if we are so resist down as a nation and so afraid of discrimination from the ex- that we now allow ourselves to be awkward to panel out in our broom closets! Why is it as a religion that believes in quiet and accept of all influence and life, we are fixed the bad guys? Our belief is that one and all has their own life path to path and we don't doggedly try to fasten other's to have faith in what we have faith in. We don't go oral cavity to oral cavity making nation jingle muggy about their beliefs. We never demand laws shimmer our beliefs and scamper peevishness while we don't get our way. So why is it we are seen as the bad guys? The Old Tombstone is full of animal price, but I have space for never seen a recording pagan ritual requiring that the life of new-found living center be subjugated, so why is it we are accused of such evil? It's the same as we as a nation are afraid to stand up and demand our own evenness. In a acquire with the spot on to mode of religion in the role of 1780's, witchcraft was not strictly qualified as an actual religion until the 1960's. We grasp to band together and demand our citizenship be respected and that we not be awkward to squeeze laws based on someone else's clerical beliefs. We grasp to demand that our beliefs be respected and that others who don't know us not be authoritative to spring out the identical dim-wittedness we've been labeled with for centuries. We be obliged to be authoritative to publicly put up for sale ourselves for populate seeking us to be brilliant to find the knowledge they test. Why be obliged to we be awkward to be pinched in christian apologetic yards or be burned, why can't we be authoritative to open pagan cemeteries? Why be obliged to we with the sole purpose have space for the range of a engagement wedding or rock-strewn to find a special officiant in our map or who chi come to our area? Why can't we be authoritative to open venues that cater to pagans? It is my belief that if we conserve beating we can become above accepted together with group. The live in who aren't actual witches who supply us bad media purpose chi be awkward to be seen for the frauds they are. Last just this minute coming out truthfully as a witch I have space for had speckled reviews. But I have space for with the sole purpose done so the same as I got below par of having other nation make assumptions about me. I've had a few of my pagan friends who have space for told me they fixed panel it the same as of frighten of disruption from limit and friends. It makes me be bowled over although what kind of friends might they be if that would go round how they viewed you? I have space for lost a few family but to me populate are the nation who weren't ever really my friends. My limit has been set to understand I don't expectation them to squeeze my beliefs but I do expectation them to good manners me, my home, and my children and that I won't tolerate incivility. You have space for to ask yourself how lucky can you jingle having to panel who you really are? I didn't ethical come out in a on fire display of ability, I ethical flatly deskbound beating substance. I deskbound dipping my pentacle down my chemise in public, I deskbound beating substance round about my home. Gone I saw a faraway picture on Facebook important pagan exultation I unexceptional it! Why shouldn't I exchange a few words it while my means is broad document with nation confirming their discrimination to Jesus? I have space for a cabinet in my home in which I preserve my altar tools and other substance my kids find and bring to me, mostly bones and bugs and stuff while that! My friends are constantly looking at it. It's been labeled my Cubbyhole of Curiosities. I attention to detail it was curb how populate substance have space for constantly sat in principle view floor opportunity, but no one attention to detail other wise person about them until they knew my secret! Not with the sole purpose have space for I had the bad reviews of this but I have space for had friends I never knew were curious about witchcraft until I became open. I now have space for a choice of pagan friends I never knew were pagan.Blessed be,Female AlicePS This has been brought to my attention! When faraway gossip for pagan veterans! Now ethical to get the identical mode in all non-church cemeteries. Pentacles at Arlington and how the V.A. tried to end it. Embellish D.Taupe for this information.

Looking Backward

Okay, our visitors have gone, and it's time to get serious again about doing the blog. Yesterday it snowed heavily here, so that's yet more grounds to stay home and work at the computer. The sunlit snow makes the river valley and the mountains look even more beautiful than they did a month ago when the trees were turning color. The snow brought back memories of other snows in other places : As a kid making my own sled in England, the trick was to use coppiced saplings for the runners, steaming them to shape. It was considered not cricket to have an adult help you with making your sled. Then we would all race them down a local hill. Many of them collapsed... but it was all in good fun, and the winner got to light the bonfire at next year's Guy Fawkes celebration on November 5. The only thing comparable is the construction and racing of soapbox cars, with lots of adult involvement (legally or illegally) and large cash prizes. More recently in Germany I remember giving the driver of the horse-drawn sidewalk plow a bottle of beer for his work. I wonder whether they're still using horse-drawn plows for snowy sidewalks over there in Munich. It's easy to look back and forget the bad and remember the good; but I have to say a lot of the good was really good. It seems to me that the Kennedy assassination marked a turning point in the history of this nation. Before that, we had hope for the future; we had a vision and optimism. Today most people are only existing, feeling that the best they can hope for is that the future won't bite them in the ass. A West African word, sankofa, means "It isn't forbidden to go back and fetch what you forgot" with a symbol of a bird looking over its shoulder. It is often interpreted as a call for African people to look back to their roots. Similarly, the Bolivian government of Evo Morales has a motto: "Moving forward by looking back". Have we forgotten in Wicca how great the early days were? How informed we were, and how deep the arguments over theology really went? --Yet the disputers could still circle amiably together. People of different traditions enjoyed one another's company. And we all had a vision. Today we can only shed a tear for that vision that we've lost. Can we as Wiccans do less than go back and fetch what we've forgotten? Are there better ways to move forward than by looking back? When people arbitrarily change such things as the Charge of the Goddess to make it more correct politically, when they change rituals so that they are shorter or held on a more convenient night, do they not realize that they are destroying that which in the past was as beautiful as sunlit new snow on mountainsides? Blessed be. Gavin and Yvonne

Part 12 2012 London Olympics Death Rituals A Bell Book And Candle Mega Ritual On The Bbc

I believe the upcoming London Olympics is intended to be a Bell, Book and Candle ritual, a Satanic mega-ritual. I'll be expanding on what is meant by bell, book and candle, but briefly it's a ritual curse made using these three implements. This ritual's most familiar guise is the Roman Catholic priesthood's excommunication practice. This activity isn't merely symbolic, and I don't hesitate to say that, even though it's apparent to me that so many educated and intelligent people will immediately dismiss me as superstitious and ignorant, this matter should be taken very seriously.

BELL: The London Olympics will open with bell ringing all over the UK, including the ringing of the biggest ringing bell in Europe, a featured object that will be hung at the Olympic Stadium.

BOOK: The book is something I suspect will manifest on multiple levels, the most important of which is the human "book of life." DNA has been featured heavily in Olympic ceremonies and in some of the associated art and architectures. The helical DNA "scroll" is written in genetic script that includes letters (A, C, G, and T nucleotide bases) and punctuation, in "stop DNA" or termination codons. The Olympic games that are "bookended" by the opening and closing ceremonies feature the entire scope of the "book," competitors, support personnel and spectators from nearly every race and place.

CANDLE: The candle will be the Olympic Cauldron, truly a witch's cauldron, burning with the flame ritually lit from the sun on Mt. Olympus and dedicated to Apollo and Zeus, aka Satan.

Here's Wikipedia's current description of the excommunication ritual.

"The phrase "bell, book, and candle" refers to a method of excommunication for one who had committed a particularly grievous sin. Apparently introduced around the late 9th century, the practice was once used by the Catholic Church; in modern times, a simple pronouncement is made. This ceremony involved a bishop, with 12 priests, reciting an oath on the altar:"

"We separate him, together with his accomplices and abettors, from the precious body and blood of the Lord and from the society of all Christians; we exclude him from our Holy Mother, the Church in Heaven, and on earth; we declare him excommunicate and anathema; we judge him damned, with the Devil and his angels and all the reprobate, to eternal fire until he shall recover himself from the toils of the devil and return to amendment and to penitence."

"After reciting this the priests would respond "So be it!" The bishop would ring a bell to evoke a death toll, close a holy book to symbolize the ex-communicant's separation from the church, and snuff out a candle or candles, knocking them to the floor to represent the target's soul being extinguished and removed from the light of God."

Bell, book, and candle

Practicing witches will immediately identify the bishop with 12 priests as a coven, and their reciting an oath on the altar as the ritual casting of a cursing spell. And so should we.

The activity planned for the London Olympics suggests that the IOC intends to enact a mega ritual modeled on the bell book and candle curse. They will begin by ringing a giant bell. They will hold the games for 2 weeks, marking the conclusion with a ceremonial declaration, closing the book. Finally, they will extinguish the flame, snuffing out the candle. Given the symbolism surrounding all that's being done leading up to the event, and, in the context of everything else going on at the present time, it seems apparent to me that a bell, book and candle spell will be cast and that all who participate on some level will be cursed thereby. Without the sovereign God's intervention, the impact of this supernatural offensive will be massive in scale.

I have to wonder if a precedent wasn't set in the not too distant past, during the "Nazi" Olympics. That happened in Berlin in 1936. Give some consideration to what followed. Serious consideration.

Those games featured a special iron bell that was dedicated by Nazi officials (SS) in a secret ceremony, hung at the stadium and rung to open the event. Those games concluded with a ceremony, and their cauldron flame was extinguished. That flame was the first in modern times to have been lit from the sun on Mount Olympus and conveyed to the stadium in a torch relay, the Olympischer Fackellauf.

This movie was based on a popular Broadway play of the same title. These, along with the 1942 film, [video] I Married a Witch, inspired the popular TV series Bewitched (1964-1972 - Elizabeth Montgomery). The BB and C Broadway play was popular, and the movie was nominated for two Academy Awards and a Golden Globe, but the greater influence would come through the medium of TV, with Bewitched having a huge influence on our culture. The series was produced by Screen Gems, so each episode was attended by a version of the infamous "The S From Hell." The trauma induced aided in the systematic programming of generations of mind-controlled people like us. Unless you're breaking free, you're still under the spell. Really.

Here's some copy featured on the shopping site for the Bell Book & Candle Supply.

"Tools & Gifts For Your Spiritual Practice"

"Welcome to Bell Book float:left;" alt=" />On the morning of the 27th, before the offficial ceremony scheduled for that evening, bells will be rung all over the UK. This activity is referred to as 'Work No.1197' and the plan is that all the bells in a country will be rung as quickly and as loudly as possible for three minutes. Three minutes. A minute is 60 seconds, so 3 minutes represents 60+60+60, which equates to 666. That's the number that represents the beast and his mark, the one assuring the lake of fire. There it is. Three minutes spans 180 seconds, and 1+8+0 = 9, the single digit transformation number, relating to the Beast and his mark, and 666. "The bishop would ring a bell to evoke a death toll." Hmmmmm.

Opening day, July 27th, is known as the Grand Climax on the SRA (Satanic Ritual Abuse) calendar. Having observed how Freemasons and Jesters coordinate their activites on this calendar, when the Oympics schedule their Satanic rituals on such an "unholy day," I pay attention. This day of the Grand Climax will bring with it perverse rituals, performed around the world with human sacrifice (female) and gross sexual abuse. Will there be a coordinated global sex and sacrificial death ritual headlined in the Olympic Park? (Maybe the Queen and some of the royals will wear their Order of the Garter apparel?)

In view of all these things, the word "ominous" falls pretty far short of describing how this looks. Some folks have grave concerns about what might come on December 21, 2012. I think it's reasonable to have serious concerns that are rather more near-term. Whether trouble comes on a grand scale in July, August or December, I can't say. In the midst of this, there's all the US Presidential election nonsense. Trouble is coming, and my recommendation is to heed the ominous warning signs that swarm all around us. There is a refuge. In Him, there is peace.

Along with this impression, you naturally purpose training in how to work with your spiritual teaching.As part of that, you learn how to take its toll your inner vocalize from your ego, and how to signification meanings and applications of the messages you are receiving. This happens in a go on aristocratic time, in stages that are conventionally casing common impression. What's better is not the linear time you are at but the multidimensional big picture - your growing constantly inconsiderate and higher accomplished to stick and assuage fighting so you can get to the truth of not noticeable messages expected.Your Pure View to ReinstateYour true power to renovate what you erudition on Gain comes from accessing and living as your multidimensional and inconsiderate divine self.

What seems the self-same is not.Creation is a hit or miss and steadily commanding go on. As it occurs, from a quantum diagonal, organize are grand behind-the-scenes pieces coming in the field of display. From spirit's diagonal, notes are seen on a need-to-see cause and clear-cut on a need-to-know cause. That's how the world of spirit operates.

She was sentenced to be violated in a brothel, but with God's help she preserved her originality.

With the pagans attempted to overheat her lively, but she was not harmed by the fire. These days, she was killed by a sword grab to the gorge.

The name Lucy (Lucia) is inferior for the Latin word for light (lux), and so she is regularly invoked for afflictions of the eyes. Donate is a tradition that she was blinded by her torturers, and the church of San Giovanni Maggiore in Naples even claims to cargo space her eyes.

Ways Of Inviting And Repelling Demonic Influence

By Archimandrite Vasilios BakoyiannisAN INVITATION TO THE DEVILWhen you want to invite an acquaintance of yours to a wedding, a baptism and so on, you send them an invitation. The invitation is a way of showing that you want this particular person to be present. Invitations are also sent to the devil.GAMES, CHARMS AND JEWELLERY"GOOD-LUCK CHARMS"There are "specialists" who make good luck charms with invocations to the devil. Unsuspecting people then wear these and, in ignorance, invite the devil into their souls.To the same category belong bats' bones, horseshoes, the pentagram and so on.GAMESThe former queen of black magic, Doreen Irvine, says, from her experience, that there are games, such as the ouija board, which are exceptionally dangerous for children. The former Satanist Sean Seller also speaks from experience when he remarks that there are things like jewellery and games, which, unfortunately, are often considered harmless. Now this is worth noting. Here are two people who formerly worked for Satan telling us from their experience that not all these games are what they seem to be.Some years ago, an Athenian visited India. On his return, he brought a native game back as a souvenir for a friend of his. One day, as his friend was gazing at it curiously, it gave out a strange noise and all of a sudden, Satan himself appeared before the man!JewellerySean Seller tells us that behind every idol worshipped in India there's a hidden devil.What is the Cross? It is simply inanimate material (wood, metal, etc.) in a particular shape. But it's this shape that repels the devil. An idol is similarly an inanimate object in a particular shape. And just as the shape of the Cross repels the devil, the shape of the idol attracts him. So jewellery in the form of idols attracts the devil.There are some vain women who, to create an "effect", decorate their homes with all sorts of objects of unknown provenance. How can they be sure, poor things, that by doing this they aren't inviting the devil into their homes?St John Chrysostom was quite clear about this: "...For if you decorate your house in another way (i.e., not Christian), you invite the devil and his company."MEDITATIONEven the meditation practiced by gurus and adherents of the New Age is an invitation to the devil. Through their "prayer" and concentration they communicate with him. In the autumn of 1989, for example, I was told the following by a young girl:She had been led astray by a group of young people who followed a guru. While they were all sitting cross-legged, holding hands and meditating, she did a test. She had a New Testament with her and said the Lord's Prayer, silently and in repentance and contrition.The result was that no one in the group could concentrate or meditate! The leader of the group "smelled a rat," became thoroughly unpleasant, and got rid of her.The New Testament, the word of God, along with the Lord's Prayer, tore up the invitation they were sending to the devil through their meditation.FOUL LANGUAGE / BLASPHEMYSt John Chrysostom also teaches that foul language is another form of invitation to the devil: "Foul language also besmirches and invites demons." Songs with dubious lyrics and certain kinds of music are also invitations to the devil.If you tell somebody to go to hell, that's an invitation to the devil.An inhabitant of a village in Achaia, Greece, related the following to me.His married daughter, who lived in the nearby town of Patras, lost her temper and told her son to go to the devil. Satan promptly appeared in her house. From the waist down, he had the body of a man, but from the waist up that of a jet black goat, with horns! And he had his mouth open.Another eye-witness told me that, in his village, a father became very angry and said to his child: "May the devil enter you." And suddenly there was the devil before them. "You called me and I've come", he said to the father."CURIOSITY"STUDYING MAGIC BOOKSAt the time of St Dionysios of Olympus, there lived in Verria a learned Christian. One day, a book of magic came into his possession. Out of curiosity, he began to read invocations to the devil. The result was that night, he saw, as in a dream, a gigantic demon."I came because you called me," said the demon."Come on, then. Bow down before me, if you want me to serve you.""I bow only to my Lord, and He alone do I worship," replied the terrified Christian."Since you won't bow to me, why did you call me?" answered the enraged demon, who began to beat his victim relentlessly.The Christian awoke in a cold sweat. He felt unbearable pain about the face. He started shouting and crying. His condition worsened. His face was so bruised and swollen that his eyes were closed. In the end, he was healed by the prayers of St Dionysios of Olympus.EXPERIMENTATIONRecently (August 1998), the following happened in a suburb of the town of Patras, in Greece:A high school student heard that she could invite the devil into her home if she lit a candle, bound the Holy Scriptures with a rope, held them upside down and muttered some "prayers." If the Scriptures began to swing backwards and forwards, that would be a sign that Satan was on his way. The young 16-year-old followed the prescribed "ritual." The hanging Scriptures did, indeed, begin to swing, the table oozed blood and there, suddenly, was the devil himself.MAGICAny kind of magic, however "innocent" and "harmless" it may appear to be (spells and so on), is an invitation to Satan. In the book "Miracles of our Lady the Eikosifinissa," we learn that an Athenian woman, a Mrs Xanthaki, was having trouble with her husband. He was deceiving her. In order to find a solution to her problem, she visited a "good woman" who was a medium. The latter read some magic for her and gave her nine chickpeas to put in her house, so that her husband would come to his senses. (What childishness!) The woman did as she was told. But from then on, every night, she had nightmares. She dreamt of a savage man with hideous features (the devil), who kept telling her, "I'm going to kill you." In the end she was cured by the intervention of the Mother of God.WEAPONS AGAINST THE DEVILFASTING AND PRAYERThe Lord said: "This kind will not depart except by prayer and fasting." Fasting concerns the body, prayer the soul. So we have body and soul, the whole person, against the devil.FASTINGThe power of the devil lies in the belly. In other words, when people eat and drink without restraint, this becomes a weapon in the hands of the devil, which is turned against them. So, fasting disarms the devil. This is borne out by the experience of the hymnographer who wrote, "For not even the wanton insults of the demons dare to be brought against those who fast" ("Triodion", Vespers on Monday of Cheese-fare Week). We have many instances in the lives of the saints in which the devil is put to flight by the weapon of fasting.PRAYERLet's recall how the evil spirit was thrown into a panic at the name of Jesus. The medium, despite being in a "trance," leapt up from his chair and then collapsed in a dead faint.It's also typical of the possessed that they can't actually say the name "Christ." When they talk about the Lord, they say "Him" or "That one," but never "Christ."Tell a possessed person to say the word "Christ" and they'll certainly refuse.Thus, the prayer "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me" brings fear and trembling to the demons.TAKING HOLY WATERWater that has been blessed by a priest through special prayers is a receptacle of Divine Grace and, as such, is fire that burns the devil.In 1925, a possessed person visited the Holy Monastery of Dionysiou on the Holy Mountain. Fr Vessarion, a monk of the monastery, gave him a glass of water, into which he had secretly poured some holy water."Have a little drink to quench your thirst," he told him.The possessed man took the glass and had no sooner wet his lips than he howled:"You've burned me, monk!" And he spat out the water that was in his mouth.A certain resident of the province of Achaia, in Greece, told me that he himself had once sprinkled a possessed person with holy water and the latter had shrieked, "You've scalded me! You've scalded me!"From the book "Confronting the Devil, Magic & the Occult", Orthodox Book Centre, Athens 2003

Nimrod

'Cush begat Nimrod: he BEGAN TO BE A MIGHTY ONE in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. "' ~Genesis 10:8-9 Nimrod, the great and mighty hunter before the LORD. He was the great-grandson of Noah, the son of Cush, grandson of Ham and nephew of Canaan. If you recall, Canaan was cursed by Noah. But this son of Cush was no prize either. Nimrod was the very first world ruler, he was the first type of an anti-Christ. It is believed that the anti-Christ will be just like him. And some say Nimrod is the ancestor of the future anti-Christ, or that he will be raised from the dead. Pure fiction, his bones have long ago turned to dust. Nimrod established great cities, including Babylon from which he ruled. In Babylon was to be built a mighty tower that reached into the heavens, it was to be his greatest accomplishment, because through it he intended to reach heaven. He BEGAN TO BE A mighty hunter before the LORD. Now, this is not a good thing here. It actually means he was not hunting animals, but instead, he hunted men's souls. And they weren't souls for the LORD GOD. No, he hunted them to destroy them. Nimrod began the very first organized rebellion against God Almighty. And by doing this, he won men's souls to be used against the LORD. Starting perhaps human slavery. He began to be a gibborim in the earth. He was the first one to rule over a one world government. As previously stated, Nimrod was the first to be an anti-Christ. The name Nimrod means "The Rebel" or "To Rebel." It certainly suits him. He was a rebel. One of the worst kind of rebels to ever have lived. He was a tyrant, a bully, a treacherous and dangerous individual who thought nothing of his cruel deeds. It may surprise you to know that Nimrod was more than likely a title rather than his name. This rebellious one is known by many names around the world. Let's go over the above verse I've given and see what the Hebrew means in these words. First we have that he "began to be a mighty one" the word "began" in Strong's: #H2490ch^alalkhaw-lal'A primitive root to wound, to dissolve; figuratively to profane (a person, place or thing), to break (one's word), to begin to pollute, (cast as) profane (self), prostitute, slay (slain), sorrow, stain, wound. We can see from the definitions that this is not a very nice person. Now let's look what Strong's says about the the word "mighty one": #H1368gibb^or gibb^orghib-bore', ghib-bore'A warrior, tyrant: - champion, mighty (man, one), strong (man), valiant man. WHY DID NIMROD WANT TO BUILD THE TOWER? Reason #1 - He wanted to defy God and build a tower so high that if God ever sent another flood like Noah's Flood, the tower would be too high for the waters to reach. Nimrod was arrogant. This reason is improbable because God promised never to send another global flood. The next time it will be by fire. Also, if God wanted the water to cover Nimrod's tower, it would cover Nimrod's tower. So this reason is not a very good one and since this is impossible for man to do, I don't see God destroying Nimrod's plans and causing the people to start speaking other languages. Reason #2 - Perhaps to open a Portal for fallen angels. If it were just a tall building I don't think he'd destroy that and change everyone's language. Besides, we have tall buildings all over the world built by vain and arrogant men, and God doesn't stop them from building it. The Tower was somehow a threat and God put a stop to it. It is now believed by scholars who study this subject that the tower was more than just an extremely tall building. It was to be a portal. A doorway between the dimensions. This portal was a gateway to other dimensions. They were going to use it to access the spiritual realms. God simply put a stop to construction and confused their languages, causing them to leave and team up with others of their language and go and settle throughout the earth. God was not going to allow them access to the spiritual realms. His reasons are His own and that's all we need to know. Once the building was stopped and the languages confused, the people left speaking of what had just happened and about Nimrod. These stories were passed down from one generation to the next, each in their own languages and this is how Nimrod was called by many names. Each culture's stories were all very similar, the same basic story with few changes. Nimrod was an evil guy who tried to find a way to kill God. Only the Bible has the truth about it all, it is the very Word of God. All these stories are about a flood and how God used it to destroy the evil people. Nimrod's many names will be quite familiar to you.

How To Fail At Casting A Love Spell

When I was 12-14 years old, I thought I was a witch. I had had one too many psychic experiences in the past to ignore the fact that I was gifted with the power of clairvoyance. For instance, several times I predicted who was calling before picking up the phone, and this was before Caller ID, people! I would oftentimes know what my friends were going to say before they said it. I had a strong intuition about whether or not people were mad at me (they usually were). Plus, Id always had this strange feeling that some magical witch spirit was following me around, like an evil, supernatural guardian angel, watching my every move.

I blame "Harry Potter", "Charmed", "The Craft", and basically the entire WB lineup for my obsession with witchcraft. Witches were for my generation what vampires are for todays tweens. So just count your blessings that I didnt think I was a literal vampire.

My friend Amanda* and I decided to buy a book of spells. We stumbled upon it at the mall bookstore one day. It wasnt even hiding in the creepy Occult section--it was right out in the open on a display table. We convinced ourselves that we werent creeps for buying it, because clearly witchcraft was having a moment. We were just following the trend!

And you can still buy it on AmazonRead more >>

The Dark Secrets Of Girl Pajama Parties

I'm having a pajama party tonight with my gal pals to honor my upcoming birthday (Monday) and my childishness. It had me thinking about pajama parties and their magic. Yes, expect videos and photos and lots of crazy stories. For now, let's talk about the real story behind PJ parties:

It's all about tickling each other, pillow fights and teaching each other how to french, right? Guys, PJ parties for gals usually took a rather dark turn. Here's just some of the games you might have found at them (had you been allowed)

We might have lit some candles, darkened the room, let the curtains flutter at an open window, played some dark creepy music. The evening could have involved playing records backwards to hear "Paul is dead," or having a seance. Other times, it would likely be the games listed below:

Ouija: It's practically a rite of passage for adolescents to give the Ouija or a s'eance a try. Have a seat. The two users should sit facing each other, with knees touching if possible, with the board on their laps. Don't use a table. Decide on a questioner or medium. Even though both people can ask questions -- or anyone else in the room can -- only one of the users should be the medium (the one to formally ask questions of the board). Place your fingers on the planchette. You and your partner should place the fingers of both hands very lightly on the planchette, or pointer. Move it. Purposely move the planchette around in a circle on the board for a moment or two to get it 'warmed up.' Attitude. Don't let the board control the session. The medium should begin by announcing that the session will only allow an experience that is positive or toward a higher good and that negative energies are not welcome. Begin simply. Start with a simple question, one that requires a yes or no answer. Be patient. You might not begin to get answers right away. Give the board a chance to 'warm up.' Be polite. When the board starts working, thank the board or entities for showing up and communicating with you. Don't ask stupid questions. Avoid questions such as, 'When am I going to die?' If the board answers, 'in 6 months,' you might just worry about it needlessly. Don't ask for physical signs. Many experienced users warn against asking for physical signs that the 'spirit' is real or present. Don't believe everything the board tells you. Just as with any other source of information, don't accept whatever the board says to be the truth or accurate. Close the board. This is an important step. When you're done with your session, slide the planchette to 'GOODBYE' and remove your hands.

Light as a feather/stiff as a board: One participant lies flat on the floor, and then the others space themselves around him or her, each placing their fingers underneath his or her body. The person closest to the head commonly begins by saying "Once the roads were icy and cold", which the others repeat; then "A woman lost control of her steering wheel" is spoken and repeated back. Finally the last sentence "When they found her she was light as a feather, stiff as a board" is said and the phrase is chanted by the others repeat. Some people report that the apparent weight of the person lifted seems lower than expected or that the person becomes completely weightless.

Bloody Mary: Inside of a bathroom with the light turned off (candle optional), a person stands in front of the mirror and whispers "Bloody Mary" several times in a row and a bloody-faced woman is supposed to show herself and even grab for you from the mirror. Some variations have you chanting "Bloody Mary come to me."

Truth or Dare: Get the players into a group, sitting on the floor or around a table. Choose one player to start the game. This player asks "Truth or Dare?" of a second player in the circle. Have the second player choose between answering a question and performing a dare. Ask the question or present the dare. Ideally, both the questions and the dares should be mildly embarrassing, but not mean or dangerous. Remember, your turn to answer or perform will come around soon. Continue the game by having the person who last told the truth or did the dare ask "Truth or Dare?" of another player.

New Year 2015 Put On The New Self Created After The Likeness Of God

NOW THIS I SAY AND TESTIFY IN THE LORD, THAT YOU MUST NO LONGER WALK AS THE GENTILES DO, IN THE FUTILITY OF THEIR MINDS. THEY ARE DARKENED IN THEIR UNDERSTANDING, ALIENATED FROM THE LIFE OF GOD BECAUSE OF THE IGNORANCE THAT IS IN THEM, DUE TO THEIR HARDNESS OF HEART. THEY HAVE BECOME CALLOUS AND HAVE GIVEN THEMSELVES UP TO SENSUALITY, GREEDY TO PRACTICE EVERY KIND OF IMPURITY. BUT THAT IS NOT THE WAY YOU LEARNED CHRIST!- ASSUMING THAT YOU HAVE HEARD ABOUT HIM AND WERE TAUGHT IN HIM, AS THE TRUTH IS IN JESUS, TO PUT OFF YOUR OLD SELF, WHICH BELONGS TO YOUR FORMER MANNER OF LIFE AND IS CORRUPT THROUGH DECEITFUL DESIRES, AND TO BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MINDS, AND TO PUT ON THE NEW SELF, CREATED AFTER THE LIKENESS OF GOD IN TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS.

THEREFORE, HAVING PUT AWAY FALSEHOOD, LET EACH ONE OF YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, FOR WE ARE MEMBERS ONE OF ANOTHER. BE ANGRY AND DO NOT SIN; DO NOT LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON YOUR ANGER, AND GIVE NO OPPORTUNITY TO THE DEVIL. LET THE THIEF NO LONGER STEAL, BUT RATHER LET HIM LABOR, DOING HONEST WORK WITH HIS OWN HANDS, SO THAT HE MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH ANYONE IN NEED. LET NO CORRUPTING TALK COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTHS, BUT ONLY SUCH AS IS GOOD FOR BUILDING UP, AS FITS THE OCCASION, THAT IT MAY GIVE GRACE TO THOSE WHO HEAR. AND DO NOT GRIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, BY WHOM YOU WERE SEALED FOR THE DAY OF REDEMPTION. LET ALL BITTERNESS AND WRATH AND ANGER AND CLAMOR AND SLANDER BE PUT AWAY FROM YOU, ALONG WITH ALL MALICE. BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER, TENDERHEARTED, FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER, AS GOD IN CHRIST FORGAVE YOU. -EPHESIANS 4:17-32 IMAGE
