Temperance replied to Serena's discussion 'A Criticism of the First Degree Lessons'

In reading the posts in this discussion, I have come to realize that those of us who follow the Wiccan/Pagan path to spitituality are far more tollerent of other belief structurs. The amount of research to understand the practices and views of other…

I do remember one verse in Galatians saying "Go and be slaves no more" I think this was Paul? Sometimes, more "Liberty based" Christians refer to Galatians. I will admit that every once in a While I feel a happy remembering of…

Greeting Larry, It is indeed, as always, a pleaasure to read the wisdom you share. Yes, many scholars not tighted to the purse strings of the Vatican know of the books attributed to Paul yet in some cases fabricated long after his passing such as…

Wonderful reply, Valgandr. I also am blessed by your words. I wish to say that only a few of the New Testament works attributed to Paul were actually written by him, and Bible scholars have known this for centuries. They don't share that info…

"I hope that I have not come off as being overly zealous. I thoroughly enjoyed everything else written in the following pages, and I intend on working through the rest of the Degree system. But this bias towards Christianity as a whole is…

Greetings Larry, it is a blessing to read your words again. Ah yes, the Roman Paul, he actually spent a short period with the cadre in Jerusalem. Yet Paul was, in the view of several very what we today would call 'hyper' and without a…

I am sorry you found it lacking, You seem to be a very passionate traditionalist I am at peace with that, You seem to be blessed with personal/"In-person" teachers that is nice. I think that the modern world is a blessing to the Craft as…

Hunter you are right about the effort , I took Kung-fu as a kid and the Martial art world is full of stylistic debates but the truth is that if the fighting style was faithfully practiced and seriously studied than that person will be a better…

Temperance replied to Serena's discussion 'A Criticism of the First Degree Lessons'

good point made Sparrow, Allthough I think that Obere got way off topic here, and proved to be closed to any belief but his own. The point to be made boils down to Political Correctness, if we allow that to consume us it puts a veil over our…

Temperance replied to Serena's discussion 'A Criticism of the First Degree Lessons'

I think things have been taken too litteraly. the pagagraph was meant to show some examples of some BOOK RELIGEONS. And some examples of punnishments and beliefs. The point to be made was that wicca is not like any book religeon . I think POLITICAL…

"As to correllianism, its another that yeah im sure its valid for all those who practice and believe it and fallow, to me its just another new age pathway" There's a lot of difference between a "pathway" and a…

Laramie Roush replied to Serena's discussion 'A Criticism of the First Degree Lessons'

You are absolutely correct about the brevity of the meeting with Yeshua's followers. Paul himself said that he only met Peter, then later on James, but no others. This contradicts the fiction of Acts where he met everyone. Paul's letters…

Sparrow replied to Serena's discussion 'A Criticism of the First Degree Lessons'

I understand your point Obere, I am confused at why you are so Quick to refer to Correllianism as a "New age fiction" When you yourself have admitted an eclectic path of sorts though with a parental foundation. I am Correllian (Outer…

That face looks just like Apollonius of Tyana.

Profile Information

Are you a Witch School Supporting Member?: I am, I am. (=

What Experience in Paganism/Wicca would you like to share?: Not 'tall. (This is the only question that deserves a question mark? =P)

What is your Age: I am 19.

Just a Smidgeon:

I'm scatterbrained. I'll remember things about you, but not what I'm supposed to bring on a trip, or even down to the laundry room. I love studying different religions and cultures, and I get caught up in action, sci-fi, and independent thoughtful films. I like blue roses and cello music. I like zombie films and Thrash metal. I'm discriminatory about what I like, and I do my best to investigate every side of the spectrum. One of my biggest pet peeves is people who regularly refuse to help themselves, but still feel they've license to complain.

If you want me to, I'd love to dance with you or tell you a story. I want to learn how to cook because I love bringing food to friends and eating it with them. I want to become a successful science-fiction novelist someday. I also want to write historical fiction, fantasy, or a combination of all three ha. There's a lot I want to do and be, and I'm genuinely happy precisely where I am as well. I am in homeostasis.

The Circle

Posted on April 5, 2009 at 12:30am 1 Comment 0 Likes

The Circle is, above all things, a place where all the puzzle pieces fit together to make a whole- and where the perfect picture is fully realized as truly being a masterpiece of artful and separate parts. Within the Circle alone, I am known, accepted, and cherished as being a human of complete love and earth-shattering potential- and I feel as I do when I am with my most cherished friend and soul-sister. As a group, our differences make us more alike to each other than our similarities, and… Continue
