    How do you know which deities are right for you?

    I did the exact same thing when I prayed to Brigantia (who may be the same deity as Athena) on 9 November and she delivered the exact same thing. As to the question, it's my natural instinct. I naturally gravitate towards the Celtic gods because they are my blood and I, as a descendant of the...

    How and out of what did God create the universe?

    Everything came forth from Chaos, so there isn't a creator god in the way that most people understand it. Chaos is described as something where all the elements are smashed together. My guess is that certain entities willed themselves to be apart of Chaos and create something and not be a part...

    The myths of Genesis

    All one really needs to do is read Mesopotamian (particularly Babylonian) mythology and Canaanite mythology.

    Anyone worship Lilith?

    That doesn't change anything. According to you.

    Anyone worship Lilith?

    Exactly as it said. Lilith never existed but the lilitu did.

    Anyone worship Lilith?

    Lilith never existed. She was created after the lilitu in Mesopotamian mythology.

    Does your religion support magic and why/why not?

    It doesn't forbid it because it's a natural religion and not a dogmatic one. There are several gods who are seen as deities having dominion over magic/witchcraft/sorcery.

    Arguments against Oneness and The Ego

    I do not agree with that at all. There is not mythological support for such an argument either. What is ultimate reality? Is the Brahman stagnation, then? If you can't answer any of these questions, then how can any two people experience the same thing? How does one even 'realize' this...

    Arguments against Oneness and The Ego

    What is 'becoming' 'God/Brahman/Oneness'? What are these beings? How does someone define an 'ultimate reality'? Change happens, of course. It's the natural cycle of life. Reality itself seems directly opposed to being one with anything.

    Our Gods

    Names and Titles: Nicnevin, The Queen of the Unseelie Court; The Queen of Elphame; The Grand Mother Witch Appearance: Appears as either a beautiful maiden or crone. Domains: She is essentially the Celtic Hekate, so very similar attributes. Witches, magic, crossroads and dark spirits...

    Arguments against Oneness and The Ego

    I've been looking for the such arguments against these concepts and haven't found much. I have been debating many concepts lately, and oneness and the ego have come up quite often with Buddhists and some Hindu philosophy. I am wholly against the idea of 'becoming one with the universe' as I do...

    Irish Nuns discarding children

    Do we even know why they did it? It's not perfect, but sometimes some people have to make extremely difficult situations.

    What about Lena Dunham for president?

    Is a fetus human?

    No, the circle is the cycle. Everything must come to an end. It's creation that keeps the cycle going.

    Is a fetus human?

    My point is that a skin cell cannot (naturally) grow into a human. The act of creation is sacred. Creating art, music, architecture; it's all sacred (though many modern examples of art are quite debatable). Creating life is the most sacred form of creation. To terminate that form of creation...

    The Craziness of Our Taboo Swear Words

    Sexuality leaves us vulnerable and shows our truest selves, so it becomes a very private matter for most people, thereby leading to speculations about certain practices and joking about it to make light of something personal.

    Is a fetus human?

    No, I typically like to speak of simple things in simple terms.

    Is a fetus human?

    In a way, the skin cell you were speaking of before could be sacred (such pieces of a body can be used in occult rituals, for example). In a way, the whole living world is sacred. However, I tend to place emphasis on the growth, change and (in a human's case) consciousness as being the most...

    How to sell your soul to Satan and the results

    I've repeatedly said that I'll sell my soul for (x) thing that I have a flighty interest in, but have not received a reply thus far. I suppose that should tell me something.
