No.

in this regard nor can it make its mark on the world without abit of
effort....As a system of magic it fails its purpose is to achieve the
practical ends it was created to take in the name of "Witchcraft"
"Witchcraft" as a word is a catch-all statement to the image of
female mystery in the divine as setup by the "goddess ones" I
find... It is not a system of magic more over a hopeful expression
of a recreated material form given no direction..in the modern
world...but not the past.
Hoodoo is a form of witchcraft in the idea of the word, as is
Ceremonial Magick. Most Wiccans practice something along the lines

| In a world | by Luxas for everyone |
ok, let me tell you a story..................
once
opon a time there was five people and they was known by the symbols
they worn on their backs.....one day one of the persons says hey i don't
need this symbol on my back......so i am going to remove it.....the
others say go ahead and remove it..for if it means nothing to you then
you have nothing to lose......the one who was going to remove the symbol
then said well if i remove it you can too...you need not wear this
symbol on your back too, why do it...the others looked about and said
well i don't know i grown use to having it and i know what it means and i
feel like i belong the other who was going to remove their symbol
said.....well i won't unless any of you do too....(so 2 of them removed
their symbol and was happy and living life and then was trying to get
the others to remove theirs...well soon a fight broke out on why or why
not to remove the symbol), and soon the others that had removed theirs
was removed from the ones who had the symbol...flaunting that we have a
symbol and know who we are and you others have none so your
nothing.....it went back and forth until one day the latter of the 2
that removed their symbol said hey i put mine back on and now can i
join.........meanwhile the one who had no symbol was picking up anyone
they can find to form a larger group and do away with the ones who had
the symbol......so too was the group that was having the symbol asking
for more like themselves....the sad thing was the one with no symbol got
nothing but the lost, lonely, and the abused, while the ones who had
the symbols got the best in their own field....(figure that) so they
battled day and night until...............................
(wouldn't you like to know how this story ends......or do you?)
I perfer a symbol that i know and it knows me and i belong? Do you?
| The Circle of Witchhood | by Luxas for everyone |
In
the misunderstood faerie tale idea of what it is to be a witch, all you
need to do is read a book or two, memorize some correspondences, and
worship at some altar at the correct phase of the moon or right day of
the year. If this were true, than I would have "saved" 22 or so years
of study, practice, and exploration. As a High Priestess and one who
began her journey many years before the relatively recent witch-fad, I
find in my experience that out of a hundred that claim to be witch, few
actually have the potential, and fewer still the experience. Not that
books are totally useless, some have relevant information and others
show you what directions not to follow unless you wish to go down a
dead-end. You just need to sift and shift through the words to find
what is tue or not, but unless you have a clue of what to look for you
will find neither.
The truth of the witch is not found in memorizing useless chants, but in being a link in the chain that becomes the circle. By circle I don't mean the sewing circle social ideal that is mistaken, but the cycle of self awareness, learning, being and passing on or teaching that knowledge to others. Not rote roleplaying ceremonies, but truths that have been passed from witch to witch directly since the very first. I have worked with quite a number of people in my time, and many come and go (and this is as it should be for it it shows the truthful), but few show they are what they would wish to claim. Incedently I have run across more individuals who showed the traits of witch, but were either unaware or didn't claim to be witch, than I have run across those that claimed to be witch and were. By all means call yourself what you wish, but unless you have the energy and at least basic knowledge to back up what you say you are, all it will be is a wish and wishes aren't reality
Without giving away information that under Oath I have sworn to protect from those who are not initiated, I cannot go into specific details. Suffice it to say that witchery is more about the fostering and utilizing of energy than it is about words. Words can be tools, and like all tools they have their place in the craft, but certain tools are more important than others. Energy is everything to the witch. High Priestesshood is an honor and priveledge, and much more than just a title. You are in service to your circle, not lording (or Ladying) over it. It is your job to teach and guide those who come after you, thus furthering the chain. It is your job to see that the circle is continued in others, not just in yourself. This is done by passing on not just knowledge, but more importantly energy. When I refer to energy, I am referring to the connective force that is passed down from person to person, from the one who came before, and so forth. I am not referring to some mysterious mystical force as the rest of the world would have it, I mean a tangible field within the self. That which everyone else would split up. It is easy to want to split it up, but the truth is that certain actions lead to creation, and others lead to its own end. It is when you actually learn to harness these energies that you begin to live and not just dream.
The witch enters the craft not for dreams of love or power (although she may find these along the way},but to fulfill the truth of herself. Those that think this is idyllic and sweet need to get their noses out of the incenses and herbs. It can be one of the most trying experiences one has had. It will definately blow any pre-concieved notions that one may have been given. You are usually chosen before you are chosen, meaning the craft chooses you, not the other way around. You can accept the choice or deny it, but make no mistake, you are chosen. The road of the witch is as individual as the person who takes it. The rewards and trials are different for each person, but you will get what you ask for. So be careful what you ask for.
Being a witch is being a witch, not a bunch of words, and quite far from "Merry Meet and Merry Part and Merry Meet Again". You are given tests and trials along with gifts, and Nature isn't always nurturing.. Those that would have it a romp with Bacchus and wood-nymphs are sadly mistaken or misled.

| May i Rant? "god loves us all" | by Luxas for everyone |
here
is the message from one who knows nothing of god, the goddess, or the
workings of the followers of this the design....and needs to learn a
lesson from Iran..
"did you all know that
god say there is really no witches and i know you all think you can do
stuff but in real life its not you its the devil and thats not cool what
is cool is to come to know god and do has he says not the devil"
First off: (god's book (the old) says there are those that use divers crafts "witchery" to the non read......
The
Devil: is one said and used in the lore of witchcraft, but in most the
image of selling out to him or her as an image was rejected for the
power in the self,......(and as for the gifts) these are tokens taken by
those that wanted ease in their life and from the 10th to the 15th
century "Many Ect (Sold their soul to the devil) to get over on the
bank, the people, or the dream of the slavery they wanted to hold on
to.....)
The Churches of the Passed offered
nothing without taking from the world first, all the wealth and power
and image was "Stolen" from those they claimed was unfit............(if
this is the act of a man of god, then get out a ski mask and prepare to
be robbed, raped , or silenced.......)
Is this the god you serve.....?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for the god and goddess and devil i know...
God is giving, serves others as a mini person, not some all powerful "you must worship me or die" person....
he
helps when you ask, and serves even those you would brand as
evil.....and he has know of the goddess since the beginning of his
creation.....(he is both brother and father, and will not hold back his
hand if you are out to harm the world but not the ants you may view on
it....( I have recieved light, wisdom, money and more at his hand and
gave in return, but not to any church......(thats the one i know.....)
The
Goddess : whom few know the real name of and walk in her design, many
use her image as the mother of earth or a deity but in her shadow it is
but a mini image and not even a glimps of her true self....She is both
visual as well as Strong in Voice, to know her is to know the best of
female design, both carnal as well as loving, however she is a woman
like no other, meaning she lives in both the lines of male and female
control.......Lesbian, Tri, Bi, or Strait....is a female condition that
wasn't of her design and was more an emotion....to enjoy the passions of
feeling and being in an act of love in her eyes......( you may build
statues to her and the sisters of her self but she likes being known
when you want to talk to her....) she and god are betrothed in a way
that makes the Pagan images of the lord and lady seem pale .....(if you
serve her she will doom you as easy as assist) if you do bad in her
eyes.....
She asks not to be worshiped, same as
god never asked to be seved or worshiped, Temples and images are sowed
by man to serve the nature of making it OWNED.......not them........
Now i can tell you only a little about the devil (Azarel)
many
know him as the tempter and evil or vile, but he isn't any of
these.........and to know him is to know a Used car Salesman....(he is
sharp and wise, and numerous in his design....he doesn't live for the
pleasures of the world or their pain or return to dominate gods
design.......(The ones who want this want change, pain or payback) and
satanism in its youth wanted to dominate on its image....
To
know the devil is to know the limits of creationism, but to begin to
harness the will that the "freewill" of God gave us at the birth
of......(badness in the world (evil) isn't created or modivated by
him.......it can be assisted, or even hindered.....(it is the freewill
of the one who has no faith or passion to exist that takes the lives and
unions of others from us, like the drug or accident that one is in
because they didn't or wouldn't be watchful......)
To lose is to win in his book, and to win is to lose.............
You
see these groups made on the image of this deity, but know they serve
their own ends and not the ends of something that they can't even
commincate the image of its nature in......
So Love god if you want........
So Love the devil if you want..........
So think what you want............
But being is doing and saying is thinking,
So know the witches design isn't as easy as you want to squash
Thanks for your message
| The naked truth of Rants and "witchery" | by Luxas for everyone |
Reply to my Groups of the Craft:
When i am asked which is better the: Naked witch, Cloaked witch, or Dressed witch,
I say they are all the same: Naked in ritual and cloaked in the heart and Dressed in the knowing they are: WITCH....or witch like....
Why should you worry about what you are, unless you are worried about everyone else being more then you......
If you know for a fact your actions are true to yourself, and your not just playing some game with your life that you can't face the nature of being one.....to challenge the mythos or works.......
then you need to find what you lost when you came this way, or go back and seek something that moves you as much.....
I find many rant about this or that in the making of being a Witch naked or not.....
But none question why they rant......aren't willing to find what they claim they play at to quote "BE" or "Just feel good"........
So we can rant, but not have an answer why?
Witches may rant from time to time, however in the world i share as the one i was educated in "Witchery"
Ranting is only so your heard, not the way to find an answer....
Ranting only creates enemies of forms that are playing at what they think they know, by book or other.....
Ranting only proves your mad about a thing they you may or may not care about...
So why rant? or is it easier for others to do this then to accept there is something missing and try and figure out why it is..
I ranted alot about wiccan designs posing as "witchcraft" but in ever rant i was stating what they as a design should have said "Why is it like this?" instead they rant back and then ask for how educated in the form of their form are you...... this being their way of saying.........exp
If your a Highpriestess of 100 groups......they want to listen to you and say you are the education they seek,
But if you been doing it since you was 10 or 11 (you are not worthy to be talked to...because you have no book on the shelf, you aren't on radio or TV)
but yet.......when they do (the wiccan) designs......even their own members are asking whats missing, yet when they see you and chat with you ......they find out things about themselves as well as where they are going in life.....
That to me makes me think that most of the "Craft" soldout...............to fit in............to be worthy of the eyes of the world........(that to me) is no different then when the indian nations gave in to the attacks of the modern settlers.............nothing is right when one attacks another, but it will happen........for one to take a home from another..............
So we all have a right to the voice of our being and direction we are going.....but if we give in to what we have learned is just "going along" .......our home isn't the one we saught to understand..........
But the land we are saddled with........
So find respect in the rants but..................................answer why you are ranting..........
Highpriest/Magus/Magiester (The Root of the Circle Witches)
| Nothing Wrong with Wicca....however | by Luxas for everyone |
The Witches Hours
was
designed to offer introduction and serious communication to the
"Witches" design.. and not to the modern (Pre-pagan) theological mixure
called "Wicca"
Witchcraft is taken serious here.....and not just some spellcasting or prayer setup altar will do....
The
Craft from the Worlds view has been sent spiraling since the days of
the 40's but here we are only accepting but not rejecting anyone who is
into the Shadow that the modern witches design.....that have seen (it
more like a coat or cloak then a REAL)
direction or
study............sorry if i offend those that want the "frilly life of
the faerie pattented wiccan crossbreeding pagan mystery of self help and
herbology, and the dogmatic druidry that mix within it to have a
voice", cause to each their own...
The Art of
Witchcraft as we do here is the developing of the ritual of the 4
seasons that makeup the real energy and essenses that form the witches
secrets, then from there it is the circle that binds the witches design
to not the symbol but to the land like a gravestone to the body
with....(and if you make it past that (to the stories pass from the days
before from lesson witch to lesson witch and the reminders that you get
what you give and give what you want....)
not some holy
enviromental temping squad of green peace players, but the real arts
that effect the soul and the users who dabble....)
From then on as a Witch you would know the rest...............
So there is nothing wrong with wicca, it just isn't "Witchcraft" in any way shape or thought of the word.....
Pagan theology has never been well with the witches design......
But one does what they can.....CORRECT...
Hope this doesn't put you off of having friends in any way....but WITCHS THUS BE HERE WITHIN
