asked about the coven/keeping... (Dark Witches and Stone Druids of Dragonwood)
 
Well the term "Dark witches" comes from the idea that the shadow of ourselves sees more then just what we want to see, and that is the whole idea of our magic(k), and it is lower magic(k)...because we aren't fully interested in taking over things..just not being taken over if needed... (we are combined with the stone druids and they are teachers of the higher magic(k)'s however it takes a full turning of the sun yearly to even get them to see their arts...
 
As for members, we welcome them, but as of now we have no......opening or offers...
(thanks for the question...)

Whether your witch or not...seeking or saught magic(k)'s truths... you have a tiny home here..now...(as to the rent)...j/k...lol
 
here is a bit of a tale just for you my loyal friends and seekers...
 

 
the story goes like this there was 2 kids born from two fathers and one mother and then the mother wanted to have two more kids and they made 4 kids but one father went against the other in a ranted madness trying to kill the other father for the hand of this the mother and in the end that struggle only weakened the two fathers and they became devoured by the mother (paymantis like right) well the 4 daughters wanted freedom so they saught to get away from the mother ad make a name for themselves in these the worlds to be ...so they become famous or infamous you pick, and then they was bored again so for a time the mother now with only one husband because the two being devoured became one...was now husband and wife..and they traveled the known space of time...(story to be continued...)
 
SEASONS GREETINGS

I wish to post this as an informal interest to those that wonder about education in or about the arts as seen from a dedicated teacher/personal adviser at times...for over a few years now...
I hope this will offer much...
Thankyou
 
Since the days of recorded education, there have been many copycats that by other means wouldn't have been created. It is the art that has built this world of self-fullfilled and dramatised standards. It is this image that gives the idea that any form of self-educated ways of design can't be holding to a standard of magic (k) al study. By no means can one eductional pattern set up or knock down another until you look at the greater image of why it was created. Most designs I find boast of what they wish to say is universal, however this would lock us into the beginning of how religion started with Bible pressing against Bible for domination of a space. To be educated requires validation in todays society, however to have the knowledge or experience requires only that you put forth an effort. Is this the future of those so lost in trying to find themselves that you need a psych degree to be even considered worthy to educate in a field that even their art won't ever get into?
 What is a teacher? What is to be taught? I for one have been taught and have been a teacher. To me, a teacher is more than book and more than personal thought, and gives you the ability to challenge the facts of the world. Being a teacher is being a judge and guide, but never fully the one that says where you are going to go. Oh, they know where you could go by what they see and how you present it, but they're not likely to tell you, unless you asked. In the craft, in the art of magic (k) , you learn how to approach either being taught or to begin self-discovery. It is in this that you learn to accept the choices that approach you. To be taught is to realize that there is more out there than you know (I'm not talking academia here, I'm stressing that some educations can't be easily put on the shelf or set up as an institution even if they want to try.) It is easy to set up something as higher learning, but it is difficult to put magic (k) into this category (long story) . Unlike most theologies, magic (k) as I was taught, can't be simply grouped into this spirituality or "feel good generation" by vibes, energy, emotion, aura, and alike. Truthfully you may know this, but you may not use this to study that greater design we call the unknown. I get many letters asking me, "How do I start?", "How do I do this?". Well, I tell them from my own experience, "How do you find a road if you have no map?". The answer comes out, "You ask someone.". You're going to say, "What if I like getting lost?", "What if I like having no map?" , "What if that map is not right for me?", to which I say you have to travel something to know it. Without knowing where you're going you could end up anywhere. And without a map you can't say you have seen it all. Most want from magic (k) ie. witchcraft, that feeling that they connected or reconnected to that part outside that spiritual barrier, the places where the answers are supposed to happen.
 Now, on a side note, most online or offline places that work within the pagan, wiccan, eclectic arts classes are only interested (I find) in exploration of the future of their designs and not getting their hands dirty in the earth-like soil from where they began. It is their right to not need to dwell or answer to any form of ancient or semi-modern movement of its day, however I find the newer the song, the less people know how to sing it. We who are teachers choose to do it because there is something to teach, and we earn great respect in ourselves, our arts, and our students who we mentor; so this is reward for us. Don't get me wrong, there is room for the search, but not enough chairs in the school. Don't get me wrong, there is enough to learn out there, but will it be the same thing as you started? We is not a bad word. It may look like it challenges the word us, or the word I, or any of the ones that have to do with individuality but it doesn't.
 Priestesses and Priests are taught by High Priestesses and High Priests. It is in these, the modern and ceremonial passages that one gains an understanding of what we call "The Chain". Without this chain, there is no beginning, and there is no end. Yes, these are titles, but I'm trying to show here that all educated forms of the chain have their responsibilities as well as their place. Even in ceremonial arts most only understand that they want a form of natural selection based on and in the workings of the ceremony. When we label things we aren't showing it's limit, we're showing it in relation to other things. This is not a bad thing. It is only seen as a bad thing because pagan passages, exterior eclectic and Renaisance influences in the modern Jack and Jill of all trades nature have shown that the more you know the less you have if you don't specialize in one thing. I find you can get lost in the word "pagan" if you break it down far enough. From ancient times, to semi-modern ones, before the 1500s it was commonly said that you were known by your trade. So wasn't that a label? And wasn't that an image of who you were and who taught you? Wasn't it a fact that at the time few had the skill to be known by any other means than the trade, spiritual tradition, family name, or the judgement that was hung around their neck. So what gave these people qualifications? Wasn't it social standards and not the ones mentioned above? Are we dooming the arts to eclecticism? Is being labeled such a bad crime?
 As I was saying, education has it's standards to the modern society and not to the ancient world from where it was created, and where it will be judged. Magic (k) in itself is a label, and as a label it alone houses much. Do you have magic (k) work for you? Do you work for it? Is it working on you? Thats what it means to be labeled in my book. Education, qualifications, and labels are all part of the new modern standards. These may be a good thing, these may be a crime of values, but one way or another they're just another limitation to getting to what you sought.

Wizard as a word and Warlock as a word...

Recently i have had a few hundred people in chat tell me that they know the words and their meanings...
(i told then they are just guessing at these meanings based on the ones who started the lies...)

a simple lie can be seen into but a lie that has others lying for it can be never ending (right wicca)...jk (kinda)

Ok, first off the lie....

"a wizard or a warlock is a person who broke with or stole or trade secrets that aren't theirs to do so...... (lie)"

next why tell such a lie.....

Well with witchcraft just growing into its real strengths..women whom was in it..formed a no male political battle...meaning (males was oppressers and the ones whom would change their fate)

so the lie became the truth as more women whom wanted the male influence to stay out of there workings came to be...
(the only males to be let in was lovers and magic(k)al workings) as in consorts...

What did these women fear...they wanted it all to themselves..because man had god so why not let "us" as in their view have a mother goddess.... and so it went this way until about the 14th-16th century... then the women wanted a male voice to help them change the rules and so they fought for the freedoms..not for magic(k)al advancement but for the fear they wouldn't be able to stop the Attacks on themselves.......
(so then some males whom was in the churches hands did betray the women whom they served but they was the tools and not the secret keepers..so the naming of the term "warlock" was then marking them.....

Then the occult was being over-run by those with money and privlige ad they then made women secret in these the secret cults of the divine brotherhood...(alot of mistakes was made and the word spread.....(defying the measure of these ordrs old masters of special craft..either self taught or taken into lessons emerged and they was then put to the rod..as a mage or magus....(though this was more just a title to something that even they was just discovering...)

The term warlock then became a tool for most non male covens to use as a way to state..we are women..and you aren't...
(though no such word or working does exist in any scope of real "witchery" its just a buzz word like "pagan or heretic" then...and witch is now the imported word used by those whom have only a shells example of real witchcraft even when witchcraft was just becoming free to be examined..lol)

Now as social design grew these make shift masters of ritual "magicians" was formed as a club..but more because of ritual and not because of skill...like frats today....(where do you think they get the naming..lol)
When these rituals failed they saught occult guides and these would lead them to the "Wizard".....single seperated persons whom lived not for the world and not for themselves...but possessed with them the "wisdom of the AGES" (this was seen as good for the future orders to become..but then after years these secret masters went away...(leaving order after order to defend themselves and create their own mysteries..so then..the term "wizard" then took another term...unless your of an order that accepted your secrets fully..the term wizard wasn't yours to hold...( to even this day...thats not how a wizard was taught...)

So one would steal from another an occulist would debate and then a new form of misguided mastery was formed..and thats what is observed these days as those that saught the sun only get a planet or the moon...(its not there fault the masters went away...) its there fault they aren't "returning"

So wizardry because an open ttle leaned on by any and all whom was of..magus grade in skill by some school or reach...

(But We wizards was never gone....nore will we ever go away fully...)

So the title was then moved to an accomplished person in one field or another..and its duly noted....

"However thats where it begins not where it end...."

(so now you see te lie for what it is....) will you still grow it...

ok....truth....

Warlock was used by modern covens as of the 14th or so as a way to hold off the take over of the male forms in their female dominated circles....(and though they may have betrayed the ones in their group they never was let in enought to have anything worthy to betray with....(or are you just liking the image..of a betrayer) in an art that would handle you if you broke your vow..(i mean the ones whom held to it more then a few hours..shes no fool..lol)

Wizard one whom is beyond the mere workings of an order or nature and does their practicing one on one or in open class with those whom have saught out their teachings not because their order my not issue their education but because they aren't fully accepting the role that was put to them by this new form of class action...and perfer to know the old way....(ect,ect)

There is abit of give and take here but you get the answer...

Now ask yourself....why has it taken to the year 2007 almost to learn this....?

to grow beyond the mere image of (they took this from this)
"give it back..lol"

Gods and Goddess'es aren't so easily won over as well as whiped out...

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Debate about the sharing of cultural imagery isn't what the Pagan communities should be in reguards to , it should stand on the fact..that they the ones whom collected the gods and godesses of the heavens and earths as their own...shouldn't then erase their image and place another...assim existances has started since the beginning of all cultures...everyone is gulity....as in every culture....(has what they accept, what they reject..and why they fear...as in try to control..) nothing is going to change this...

What is going to happen is what it will do to the future...

i could run a list of almost every culture that took and replaced image for image....but which ones have changed and which ones that haven't should have shown by now....
the flow of the world will always seek what isn't so easy or open to have....
not to be different , that was the reason religious methods aren't fully their own, but the fact..grow or die..change or adapt... is the model of the human-animal...

your belief's will be fine if you know where their from....and not just you believe...

Thankyou for your time....

Not to pull hairs with the writer of this peace, but if witchcreed as
well as witchcraft and witchery was just this.....then why the
constant limits in the wording that this...link shows...

http://www.witchvox.com/va/dt_va.html?a=ushi&c=teen&id=11097

I do not disagree that the word witch is open ended but to those that
are witches...these wordigs are just a way to say hey witchcraft isn't
much different from tv , movies, and popcorn.....as in
(if i like being this i'm this)
"tell that to those that didn't see it comming, and the ones whoms
lives have been setup about the justices of"

so though the word "witch" can be what most modern pagan ideals think,
It never was meant to be a gift that keeps on giving...

See you at a REAL witches circle....

and teens in wicca please growup....

I'm talking not about "CULT" desires, nor religious wants or needs..
 
I'm talking about those spiritual and knowing points in god or goddess free of the worship of a simple non magic(k)al truths seeker...
 
Your Journey not to magic(k) but to the ones whom have saught you and the rewards they offered as well as punished you by.....
 
Got a Story......(your devotion isn't a tool, its a responce in your world to not be a tool ever again and to find te tools and start building that temple that isn't devoted to yourself but to the forces that will make you the next fashionable picture on their wall..(Godlyness, god hood, goddess hood, goddess being, or even in more) not these limits to ones ego over wisdo in your spirit....but the (lights that will radiate about your world)
 
Why not want to be god or goddess? why be limited in your reach.....
"to those i say to this, reach over a cliff and see who catches you, reach over the cliff in your mind and see whom comes and says hey do you know what your doing", to reach into death at the waste of life even if you think your life is a waste is going to show you you have no idea of what you wasted or will be wasting once you get over there as well....
(so i like any whom have been before me, after me and beyond have always saught not guidance but friendship, a bond to those things that have the cliff as their backyard....why not.... (everyones journey will be different even if they go to the same education, but when those lines cross.....friendship is the reward)
 
Now to rant:
 
we are what we are because we see and answer, however we become what we become by the challenges that twist and turn our learning into an energy that makes us want more, so when you are what you are because you hope you see what you are but are fearful of it to begin with...your not becoming your just hoping to become something, and to those that say they don't know where they are going.....but they want what they see is themselves... (lol)  you want what you can't possibly understand and its ok to want, but when you say it then don't do it you just wanted to fit in ad now your the outsider you never wanted to be...(keeping up)
 
magic(k) reguardless of its spiritual rooting....finds only those whom can read the inner message......they will be the next.....as they always have....
 
Hope you understand i don't rant to rant but to remind
 
:)
