What is dark magick?
its not magick used in a dark way....even though others would like you to think this..
What is light magick?
its not angels and spiritual miracles and stuff to help you fellow person....
so why do they want you to think this....
Perhaps
it's easier for the simple to explain the complex or its just the fact
they don't care to know because of taboo or loss or another reason....
Whatever the reason thats no need to look down on what you can only guess at...
So
if your in the light or dark or the spectum of the rainbow... know its
not exactly what others think...even if a book says it is...lol
so find the balance or lose the board..
| Enter my View of Druidism | by Luxas for everyone |
(Though
this view was educated to me by those i respected in the arts of the
Universal) and i find more true then the spoken and broken mysteries
that are now more about roleplaying an 50's or 60's image of the same
thing..) I hope you will accept this wisdom as well....
What
is a Druid: Well a druid is serveral things, educated in the models of
nature and time, and a sort of spiritual explorer and Q&A person,
then the most secret of the skills is their way to feel the passages an
memories of time.... (I personally trained in these as well...) a minor
road on my journey to the wise Wizard....but anyway... this is the
model...
Now how was one chosen to be a druid,
well there was 3 test.. one your date of birth must be the same as a
druid that was to pass away..thus like the monks of tibet..you was
chosen..lol, the other is a stone placed before you and the light or
heat off of it told of your spirit..(kinda like aura, or water in a
plate and you was to look into it to see....and then they would do as
well.............
To be a druid your not born one, anyone can say or want this.... you had to be chosen or misplaced..lol,
Druidism
as i learned is about the stars and the methods of time and the strings
that keep and seperate the spirit as well as the land, and how all are
tied to events that can be made beforehand........
So
being a druid isn't being an eco nut, or doing things for the nature of
others like psychics or witches or to even have to be more then your
are.....
So you can like the veil of mystery
that forms the neo-druidy..lol druidry.... or you can want to see it all
in stone...water, sky and fire
so enjoy
paganism, enjoy wiccan hood, enjoy the occult or the gothic mythos, but
know none of these roads are close to the well of being a druid...
and enjoy......WE Do
| God, Man, Female, the Goddess | by Luxas for everyone |
a joke story...
God
comes down from heaven looking for a drink of rootbeer, he dresses like
a bum so as not to have to grant miracles he stumbles and falls over on
this woman in the bar and she slaps him in the face...he smiles and
points his head towards the bar and askes for a rootbeer, a lady (the
goddess) shows up looking like a castle handmaiden and the wind blows
her hair up and she smiles as she enters the bar and askes for a diet
soda (this in england) and they both get their drinks, as the man in
the corner sees the handmaiden and invites her to sit with him, she
slaps him in the face and says no thanks....(god looks over to the
handmaiden and he feels shes not what she appears and moves over and
spills his rootbeer on her and then says he is sorry, as she gets mad
and tried to slap god he ducked and she hit another and a fight
starts.....in the bar... (the handmaiden) the goddess talks to the lady
god fell on earlier and says are their any nice men in here....she said
not a bloody one, to that the goddess orders another diet soda (god
smiles and says i'm sorry for spilling on you but your just to pretty i
couldn't help myself....(she says (the goddess, there is something
special about your eyes...do i know you....(no i am just a humble hermit
trying to drink my rootbeer and look at lustful woman) .... Oh, (says
the goddess as she tosss the man from the fight earlier off of her
(lustful women huh) and sips her diet soda.... (well i be a lustful
handmaiden but i'm not into a guy as yourself, perhaps if you become
more then a hermit i would bed ya, as the woman next to her grined...
(so
he became god before her very eyes and was a hermit no more, and the
goddess as (the handmaiden) smiles and said I KNOW YOU, your that god
fellow mucking up my plans and the world that i put together...( to
which she became the goddess image in the room) God then said "oh so
your the lady behind the senes trying to make my world a natural and
forgiving place.....they are to want or not want whatever they want or
not want, not have it handed to them, and drank his rootbeer and
left......(the bar was hit with light from everywhere and the fight
stopped)
the goddess now as the handmaiden again, says over
to the shocked woman who knew she had god and the goddess here in the
same room.......(See i like it when he gets mad it makes him do things
not just be a bum and drink rootbeer)
| books about the para-sexual | by Luxas for everyone |

Peer for the first time into dark corners where basic human physical
desire meets with the unknown, mysterious, and supernatural. From "ghost
rape" to demon lovers, here are the most startling manifestations of
paranormal sexuality. Written by a scientist and leading member of the
highly respected British organization Society for Psychical Research,
this study is revelatory, thought provoking, and most certainly
sensational. It presents thousands of reports of human sexual encounters
with otherworldly beings that have occurred over the years. (Just two
of the startling chapters are "Satanism in the Suburbs" and "Aliens
Stole My Virginity.") These meetings appear entirely common, with people
claiming relationships with poltergeists and angels. Then, too, there
are the strange examples of outbreaks of sexual mass hysteria and a firm
belief in supernatural orgies. The wealth of stories is nothing short
of amazing, the phenomena almost beyond belief, and the author's unique
talent for providing both enlightened and serious accounts unequalled. ![[Add to cart]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tz_WvxppQk0CC7mijFiHEd-i91-28bA_56r0dBXQDQV6BS3HYJT-iPjKpBERYLPHYjrUjS7XZOjABigtPw7ul0KEL3XqVROYy5QJAkNiC18qAYvfE=s0-d){kind=small} or Print an order form.  |

On
September 20, 1587, Walpurga Hausm채nnin of Dillingen in southern
Germany was burned at the stake as a witch. Although she had confessed
to committing a long list of maleficia (deeds
of harmful magic), including killing forty--one infants and two mothers
in labor, her evil career allegedly began with just one heinous act--sex
with a demon. Fornication with demons was a major theme of her trial
record, which detailed an almost continuous orgy of sexual excess with
her diabolical paramour Federlin "in many divers places, . . . even in
the street by night."
As Walter Stephens demonstrates in Demon Lovers, it was not Hausm채nnin or other so-called witches who were obsessive about sex with demons--instead, a number of devout Christians, including trained theologians, displayed an uncanny preoccupation with the topic during the centuries of the "witch craze." Why? To find out, Stephens conducts a detailed investigation of the first and most influential treatises on witchcraft (written between 1430 and 1530), including the infamous Malleus Maleficarum (Hammer of Witches).
Far from being credulous fools or mindless misogynists, early writers on witchcraft emerge in Stephens's account as rational but reluctant skeptics, trying desperately to resolve contradictions in Christian thought on God, spirits, and sacraments that had bedeviled theologians for centuries. Proof of the physical existence of demons--for instance, through evidence of their intercourse with mortal witches--would provide strong evidence for the reality of the supernatural, the truth of the Bible, and the existence of God. Early modern witchcraft theory reflected a crisis of belief--a crisis that continues to be expressed today in popular debates over angels, Satanic ritual child abuse, and alien abduction.

Director: John Moffitt
Cast: Patrick Cassidy, Kelly Preston, Bud Cort "Long, long ago," says the narrator at the beginning of Love At Stake, "in merry ole England, there lived a warm and friendly, happy-go-lucky people who lived life to its fullest. Unfortunately, this movie isn't about them. This movie is about another group of people; so self-righteous, so sanctimonious, they even called themselves...Puritans." Yes, this is a comedy about Puritans, and it's the first of its kind that I can think of. Maybe that's part of the reason why I thought Love At Stake was so hilarious. This movie has all the makings of a cult classic, and I'm surprised that with its memorable cast and its general hilarity, that it's not become a cult movie. The only reason I can think of for its obscurity is that the major studio that released it gave it an inept theatrical release. Actually, though the movie takes place in a Puritan colony, and involves people of the Puritan faith, it's not really a jab against fundamental religion. It does show elements of religious hypocrisy, the silliness of the thinking back then, and satirizes the Salem witch trials, but the movie only explores these themes on occasion. Much of the movie is devoted to the kind of humor found in movies by Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker and Mel Brooks - sight gags, puns, slapstick, and the idea of doing anything for a laugh. Though I would have liked to have seen a comedy skewering fundamental religion (and I still do), I did laugh a lot at Love At Stake - more than enough to give it my recommendation. There's a lot of effort to please audiences in this particular movie. It's 1692 in Salem (a later tombstone says 1698, though.) Local baker Sara Lee (Preston) is overjoyed that her childhood sweetheart Miles (Cassidy) has returned to be the new assistant at Salem's church. But not is all well in Salem; the mayor (Dave Thomas) and the judge (Stuart Pankin) are in a panic, having squandered the money given to them by investors to buy surrounding land for the construction of Heritage Mall and Puritan Village. They get a brainstorm: If they accuse and execute people for witchcraft, it gets them the right to seize their victims' land. As they begin to execute this plan, a sexy stranger (Barbara Carrera) enters town to visit her cousin, and Miles catches her eye. What nobody knows is that this woman actually is a real witch, and her passive spell casting just adds to the hysteria building in Salem. There are many different kinds of humor in Love At Stake, and it's surprising that overall each type manages to work. At several points, the movie neatly skewers clich챕s like lovers running to each other in slow motion (the lovers here keep missing the other's outstretched arms) and the "spinning newspaper" image (the camera pulls back to reveal the newspaper is stationary, tacked onto a revolving table); not only are these clich챕s transformed into absurd images, viewers also see how stupid the original clich챕s were in the first place. There are sight gags, like a carriage having a bumper sticker reading, "Honk if you love King Charles", or the Judge reading Screw Ewe magazine ("Baa Baa Baaaad Sheep!") The movie also manages to use some scatological humor to great effect, being actually amusing for once. One scene manages to outdo an infamous scene from Blazing Saddles, by being longer (and louder) than anything Mel Brooks ever imagined. There's also some hilarious tasteless humor with Bud Cort's character when he's stricken blind, and makes an ass out of himself through the rest of the movie, goofing up because of his lack of sight. (I guess the filmmakers realized they could safely poke fun of the blind, because anyone who would be really offended wouldn't be able to see this movie.) The gags keep coming at a machine gun pace, so if one gag fails, we know that soon we'll get a gag that will make us laugh. I admit the second half is kind of weaker than the first, with the humor relying more on (forced) slapstick, though it still has a good deal of laughs. The only humor of the movie that didn't work was one scene where, during a night of burning people at the stake(*), the citizens of the town make jokes at the screaming and burning people (and their later burnt corpses) and sing, "Kumbaya". This scene was too sadistic and mean spirited to generate any laughs. The actors seem to be having a great time. Wisely, Cassidy and Preston, the heroes and most "normal" characters of the movie play it straight, making their reactions to the going-ons in town funnier than if they had played frenzied comic characters. Cort does well in a slapstick comic role, willing to make himself look ridiculous, as when his blind character plays the piano and bobs his head a la Ray Charles. Dave Thomas and Stuart Pankin make a great teamup as two people with different personalities but equal in the moron department. Barbara Carrera is suitable sexy and devious in her actions. There are also a few cameo appearances, the highlight being when Dr. Joyce Brothers visits Salem and tries to explain her psychological theories to the dimwitted people of the town. The ending seems curiously rushed; it almost feels like the final few minutes were written on the day of shooting, because within a matter of a couple of minutes the crisis is averted in a contrived manner and the movie ends. It also leaves one or two minor plot threads not resolved, though in a movie like this, one isn't exactly concerned with the plot - the movie is an excuse to laugh for 83 minutes, and I did find Love At Stake more than funny enough to give my thumbs-up to. Actually, looking at that ending again, it contains a subtle message attune to the well known saying, "Those who can't remember the past are doomed to repeat it," so the ending isn't a complete washout after all. And speaking of that saying, I think I've found an exception to it - because I'm fondly thinking of Love At Stake as I write this, and I want to see it again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
