GO HERE -- "Zeitgeist" the movie.

Watch it (the first one, not Addendum) when you have time. Part 1 is extremely interesting and cool to me. I don't think I take the message exactly how the filmmaker intended, but it certainly changes my perspective.

Part 1 and 2 and Addendum have less interest to pagans, but quite a bit of interest to human beings ( Read more... )

Spellcraft

Is there a generic format for spells? I mean, can you fill out a form/madlib and get a spell? I'm looking for several "generic spells" (spells for any purpose with minor alterations). I suppose candle magic or censer fire magic might be like that. I do like more complexity however than some of those forms. Observing a day of the week or moon ( Read more... )

I just found this place a couple of minutes ago, and as I entered I got this warm feeling that said, "Here are people who are actually committed to and interested in the craft, and who don't just go along for the ride" (as so many others do). So basically, I think I'm going to like it here. The spiritual side to paganism, which is so often ( Read more... )

Hello Everyone! I'm also new to the group, and in a way to witchcraft...

Picture sharing! Follow the cut to a very.... powerful image, and a couple of tattoos ^_^

The first image is one that I found on photobucket recently and fell in love with. For obvious reasons. OMG.

I think the name of the artist is in the upper left but I can't actually read it properly myself. Whoever it is, I'm a big fan ;)

There are three pictures that inspire me and definitely put me in the mood for my workings. They are the three Masonic tracing boards that Lady Frieda Harris made. Even though she is best known for the Thoth tarot deck she was also a Co-Mason and did many other pieces of esoteric art.
