    A Raven Grimassi Mystery...

    No, I do not. Or I would have found a way to contact one of you with it, or posted it, or something. I wish I did, though, because it's quite pretty! If anyone has such means, feel free, especially if you have access to this particular book. Although, frankly, what really burned my buns is...

    A Raven Grimassi Mystery...

    Hmmm... Okay, now, while I am far from a "fan" of the man, I don't buy into much of what he publushes. *sigh* Call me a major skeptic, but, I just don't buy it! *shrugs* Anyway, while flipping through a copy of his book Italian Witchcraft, while waiting in a beloved bookstore (my regular...

    A Statue of the Mormon "Heavenly Mother" in the Salt Lake City Temple???

    Hello, All: I hope no one minds this question, as it may sound like an odd one, but...I was speaking to a member (or an ex-member...I can't recall right now) of the Mormon Faith. And, he told me that inside the Salt Lake City Temple there's a statue whom everyone assumes is of the Virgin...

    A Pagan Prayer

    Here's a really beautiful prayer I just had to pass along: Dear Goddess & God, Help us remember that the "jerk" who cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few...

    A Gorgeous "Goddess" Quote...

    I just had to share this with you all! As, I was writing today, and this quote (which I hadn't thought about in severl years) came to me, and thought it a perfect way to introduce what I was writing! I hope you love it as much as I do! I plan on using it to introduce the first chapter in the...

    "Bloodline of the Grail"

    I found this in Janet & Stewart Farrars' book "The Witches' God", thgrough which they say, "ADONI [rather than Adonia]: ("Lord") Phoenician anual dying vegitation God, lover of Astarte/Ashteroth." And, then, below they list the following deities linked under the definition of the God Adonis...

    "Bloodline of the Grail"

    I should have made it more clear, in that I was referring to the term which is translated as "Lord" in The Bible, which I have read is Adoni or Adonai, or some variation there of. Without my book in froint of me, my spelling's crap! Now, I am aware of the 4-fold name of God...

    What book are you reading at the moment?

    Oh, good for you! Personally, I'e always believed the Traditional Wiccan degree system (based in hierarchy) to be very hypocritical(sp?) given the very Charge of the faith itself! Because, when you strip it down, that's really what it seems like, from everything I've read which actually puits...

    Wicca: traditional origins?

    Oh, I know this is totally off-topic for this thread, but...I just need to vent a bit this morning (quickly). Ya' know that chic I told you whom stalked me all across cyber space (although, Brian knows the far more serious charges)? Well (and I still can't believe that no one stood up to her...

    Hey, I just found my Witch name!!!

    Well, it'll be a last name, actually! Wade MacMorrighan... I knew what I wanted it to translate into in the English language, and thought I'd seen somewhere that Irish, like Scottish, had an appelation such as "Mc" which means "son of" so-and-so. And, upon further research, I was correct...

    Wicca: traditional origins?

    While one might fully expect him to be so conservative, it really doesn't do much good. Especially by using such sweeping blanket statements as he as (or others have). It's merely like he's towing the line. And, I've really found it irritating (personally) how he brings up these theories...

    "Bloodline of the Grail"

    Yeah, me too! As I am a Celtic Witch. :cool: "Well...", in his best Samantha Stevens impression, "it's because of this." ;) It all started with Tammuz, who is, perhaps, the clearest example of the dying and resurrecting vegitation God. To quote Janet & Stewart Farrar from The...

    "Bloodline of the Grail"

    Just a quick note, heh heh heh... But, AD and BC are now only rarely used (usually by those of the Christian faith to denote a time which is "Before Christ". And, A.D. is similarly used by them to refer to "Anno Domini", which means "In the year of our Lord." So, because of those, they have...

    Wicca: traditional origins?

    Just thought I'd chime in, here. Albeit one would, quite correctly, say that I am a Wiccan and follow the religion of Wicca; I do not use those words. I call myself a Witch, an appelation I first fell in love with after reading Doreen Valiente's "Witchcraft foir Tomorrow". Albeit I referred...

    Wicca: traditional origins?

    Just thought I'd let everyone know about something I recently was told from a British Witch: She had been visiting the Witchcraft Museum, with another Witch-friend, and the director kindly showed them the museum archives, which contain a lot of papers etc. donated at the death of Witches...

    Debunking "the devil"...

    Well, what this particular board did (other than that, frommy own experience, the actual relatively cruel message boards on-line foir pagans are Beliefnet.Com and DelphiForums!) was they moderated all of my messages, and allowed every member to openly attack me. Yet, would not allow me to...

    "Bloodline of the Grail"

    And, I would love to further research this evidence, too! Because, I was harshly lambasted for my views, and what I had heard, by other pagans, with regards for evidence that the Celts, et al. were ever in America, asserting that my views were laughible (your basic more-pagan-than-though types...

    "Bloodline of the Grail"

    Ah, yes...I know of America's Stonehendge. It may have, actually, been built by the Celts. In fact, there's legend that one Native American tribe was, actually, Welsh, in origin! Someone told me about it, and I wrote it down, so i could look into it further, but...lost the sticky note...

    "Bloodline of the Grail"

    "Well...", in his best Samantha Steves impression, "why I believe it simply cannot be so bad, is simply because of the author whom recommended it, who really knows her stuff, and is very thorough in her research, so I find it incredibly diffidult to concieve that she might recommend anything...
