Re: Old World Witchcraft Blog: Simple & Easy Banishing Ritua

I've been told that's because a lot of weed mixes actually contain sage. I couldn't say from personal experience though, the only drugs I've ever really been into are caffeine and small bits of alcohol.

Re: I Can't Cut Off My Beard - Have I Been Cursed?

As an example, I (Literally) just went to the bathroom and picked up a pair of scissors to at least trim it and as soon as they were within roughly 4 inches of the beard they broke at the fulcrum point into two useless halves. Now I have to go out and buy a new pair to open packages with this weeke...

Re: Question about hard polytheism

From study and meditation, I'm beggining to feel I fall more into the hard polytheism group. The thing I'm curious about is how do other hard polytheist see the afterlife? Are all heavens real? And also, if you believe all gods are distinct individuals, why do you worship the Wiccan gods bur not ot...

Re: Need Advice - Paranoia and Manic/Depression

It may be worth looking into some programs for low/no-income mental health care. They exist, but can sometimes be a little hard to find if you don't know how to look for them. Here is a site where you can look up information on facilities near you: www.211unitedway.org There are also a few numbers i...
