Re: Does anyone worship Selene?

Just wondering? I do - I think I've always been drawn to her. She is my Patron Goddess and I honor her every Esbat. For me, she is part of the maiden-mother-crone triumvirate of Artemis-Selene-Hecate. Starting this year I will also honor all 3 goddess' ancient feast days. Let me know what else you'...

The romans may have incorporated many aspects of the Greek culture into their lives, but it is important to remember that they were the conquerors - and conquerors rewrite history [myth] to serve themselves. Hera, prior to the patriarchal Romans, did not need a husband to function -- she was powerf...

I always try to remember that the Romans conquered the Greeks and then altered the Greek gods and Goddesses to fit the new leaders. Prior to the Roman invasion, Hera was NOT a screaming fish-wife -- that was a role the Roman's assigned her in order to subjugate her worship & power. A good place...

As for the "harm none" angle from the Wiccan Rede, not everyone follows it. Personally I don't as I am not a Wiccan Witch, just a plain old witch. I believe that you have to do what is necessary & take the repercussions, if any. Additionally, the Wiccan Rede says "an it harm none...

No Pagan or Wiccan condones non-consensual sex, sex with minors, or any sexual act that involves coercion." Sadly, this individual is sorely mistaken. Unfortunately there are, like any other group of people existing anywhere, sexual predators who are pagan and honestly, I think this sort of de...

Well Gothic, why do you need black spells? Magic is a powerfull force, and should only be used to help, not harm. And whatever you do to somebody will come back to bite you. You know, not everyone subscribes to these beliefs, either that magic shouldn't be used for harm, or that whatever you do com...

Re: They Won't Be Mad Will They?

but are the Lord and Lady upset with me because I drifted away? Honestly, no one can answer that for you. I know a lot of folks are of the "don't worry, the gods will never be upset with you and they will understand" mindset...and maybe that will be true, but I don't believe that that can...

You are correct. It also breaks down between some of the varying forms of Wicca as well. A Gardnarian may not approach the situation the same way and Eclectic would. Personally speaking, I like this. Truth is subjective not absolute in my opinion. Just because someone else interprets it differently...

Wheither or not you are a practitioner of witchcraft or an adherant to a pagan path, a curse is a very big deal and is not, I repeat NOT to be taken into lightly. As it was explained to me by a fellow military pagan, who is farther along his respective path than myself, it is similar to the sidearm...

You have to be careful about zealous 2012 predictors on the web. They tend to skew facts to say what they want them to. I've been a 2012 'something will happen' guy since I was little, but that's a silly little story. 1) The Mayan calender has large and smaller cycles. The larger cycle will end 201...

1. Mayan Calendar The first mob to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things: Building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and Sacrificing Virgins. Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar m...
