OH Wow that matches up to another topic started by someone about seeing 333 over and over recently.

Re: I feel so unprepared for this Samhain

I feel unprepared as well. My wife and I were just talking about it this week. We haven't done any rituals, or celebrated the last two Solstices. We managed to tell some stories and light a fire when fall kicked in, but we are being kid of absentee witches. We haven't even done much for the secular ...

Re: My weird dream last night

You were being the role model you may have needed when you were that age. That may have been a message that you are ready to "take someone under your wing" and be a mentor to someone in your family. I would say you can do that without perpetuating the same behaviors that the bullies exempl...

Re: Randomness of occurring numbers and sounds

Good news is that 333 is considered a blessing in alchemic, numerological, and kabbalist traditions. It is a sign of encouragement from those that watch over you be they Angels, or spirit guides, or Old Masters. Whatever fits in to your cosmology. After my last course in statistical analysis I also ...

Re: Crows

My wife and I see crows every time we are traveling with our little girls. It took about a year before we realized the crows are not really traveling with us, as much as they are traveling with our little girls. When we got to take a little road trip without our daughters, no crows. But there was a ...

Re: Work

I'm sorry you are experiencing self doubt because of someones bigotries. I think you have a good attitude about work/life. Money should be seen no differently than a hammer. It helps you to build something you need. How impressive is the person who sits on top of a giant pile of hammers but never bu...

Re: Is Magic a License to Get Even?

Always one of my favorite topics. Vengeance. Retribution. If there is no benefit in vengeance then neither is there benefit in chocolate. Would you give them both up to some ideal of purity? Chocolate is an indulgence no? Oh but it has small benefits you say...then I would so similarly say there are...

Re: Pagan Creation vs. Wicca Creation

The Wiccan creation myth you are referring to is unique in that it was entirely created in the modern era. There is almost no trace of antiquity to it. The vast majority of creation stories on this planet, told from generation to generation by independent peoples usually involve 3 components. Darkne...

Re: The Four Elements and Why one Isn't

I would point out that while fire is a simple plasma, plasma is just ionized gas. It's only different than air as a state of matter in that it can't maintain it's state without a supply of energy. So again the root of fire is that in the plasmic state photons are released when the magnetic bonds are...

Re: Technowitchcraft / technopaganism

I don't have answers at present for those questions. That's one of the issues I'm facing right now. We know how to harness electricity for work. Just like we harness fire for work. But how do you harness fire for spirit? How do you harness electricity for spirit? We harness wind, water, and earth fo...

Re: Manifesting the right home

My wife and I used sympathetic candle magic to put out into the universe the things we wanted in our future home. Write the list on paper, concentrate when you do. Fold the list so it is half the height of the candle, wrap it around the candle, tie it to the candle. Light the candle and meditate on ...

Re: Technowitchcraft / technopaganism

Not to toot my horn, but I've been working in this area. The magic amplifier is still in-process. Using technology to assist in ritual is still conceptual. And right now I'm working on an APP that "should" in theory allow people to share energy using the finger print scanner on their phone...

Re: How could all deities exist at the same time?

There is no dilemma. There is incongruity, based entirely on your own confirmation bias. Why so many gods for the sun when one will do? Sun gods don't drive/maintain the sun. That's silly. The sun is a star, and stars exist as super massive fusion reactors perpetuating a plasma engine based on gravi...
