No title 2008-05-10 12:24:33 Crystals are formed from the four basic elements Earth, Air, Fire, and Water the elements of which life was composed according to classical belief. Born in the ground, changed by volcanic fires, eroded by the air and their passage through many streams, rivers, even the sea, crystals take thousands of years to form. They are sometimes believed to contain the fifth element often called Akasha, Akasha was the elusive philosopher's stone that was said to hold the key to wisdom and perhaps as the ancients believed, to immortality.Crystals are brilliant for divination in my experience they have failed me a lot less times than any other form of divination perhaps this is due to their mysterious nature. For divination you only need ten quite small crystals. One of each of the colors about to be li
Palmistry 2008-05-10 12:17:45 The Practice of Palmistry is the main source used, and a good source, if you look at it in context. It was written by C. de Saint Germaine before the turn of the century, and is somewhat sexist in its viewpoints. However, he did a lot of emperical research, comparing individuals with distinct traits and distinct lines on the palm, and drew his conclusions from there. These are surprisingly co-incidental with other palmistry traditions. On the down side, this book is definitly not a easy read and is not particularly recommended for beginners.Palmistry is a form of divination, or reading of the "unknowable," by studying the lines of the hands. Like most forms of divination, palmistry is highly intuitive, meaning a reader will trust the "feel" of a line in addition to just reading its book de
Remembering Dreams 2008-05-10 12:09:47 Remembering Dreams
- 10 Tips1. Maintain good, consistent sleep habits. Not getting enough sleep or going to bed ‘dog-tired’ can dramatically reduce natural dreaming activity. The Mayo Clinic offers a list of tips if you are having trouble getting restful sleep.2. When you go to bed tell yourself that you will remember your dreams. Repeat “I will remember my dreams” to yourself several times as you drift off to sleep. It sounds odd, but this tip has been shown again and again to be one of the most helpful.3. Try to wake up slowly to remain within the ‘mood’ of your last dream. Buy an alarm clock with a gentle wake setting (sometimes called a progressive wake).4. Awake at least once during the night, many times this will occur around an REM sleep cycle. Set an alarm or drink a lo Read more:Remembering
Psychic Sheilding 2008-05-10 12:07:09 Psychic Shieldingby Druidess of DisirGood shielding techniques should, in my personal opinion, be one of the first fewessential lessons for those seeking to learn how to sense and use their own personalenergies and the energies present in the world around them. And so I offer my owntechniques and experiences on this very important basic lesson.Most good shielding requires the student have some aptitude at and knowledge ofvisualization techniques, which may be combined with meditation. Basic energy sensingand manipulation is also helpful, although not necessarily required. Both are beyond thescope of this essay.Importance of ShieldingI cannot stress enough the importance of good shielding techniques. Opening oneself tobe able to feel and manipulate internal and external energies can also le Read more:Psychic
Grounding 2008-05-10 12:02:07 Grounding: A Vital Partof Empathic ProtectionGrounding is one of the most vital and healthy self-care activities you can do. It is easy and should be done on a regular basis. But what exactly is grounding?Grounding is the process of bringing your energy in harmony with the resonance of the earth. Grounding slows, calms, and infuses you with strength and steadiness. It is a vital practice for everyone, but particularly for sensitive people who may often feel "wound up," "ungrounded," or drained by our surroundings.Grounding is also important because our modern lifestyle sometimes rips us away from the healing, strengthening qualities of nature and the earth. Luckily, you don't have to go on a woodland retreat to reconnect with nature. Grounding can easily be done in various way around your
Chakra Balancing Meditation 2008-05-10 11:58:26 PURPOSE OF THE CHAKRA BALANCING SELF-MEDITATION The purpose of the chakra balancing meditation is to open and clear the chakras the Reiki way. It will align higher frequency energies and also purify/release any stored negative energy from your body/aura. Here is the chakra balancing meditation: • Sit comfortably on a chair with your hands on your legs (I have found with the palms facing upwards more beneficial) • Whilst sitting close your eyes and concentrate on your breath, nice deep slow breathing • Put you attention on the base Root chakra - visualize the chakra as a bright RED ball spinning clockwise - as you focus on the base chakra - breathe in red - breathe out red. Repeat for 2 - 3 minutes.NOTE: Ensure you see the red ball's energy is spinning at the Root chakra and also Read more:Balancing

Developing Your Psychic Abilities 2008-05-10 11:37:23 People frequently ask how they can "become psychic" or develop what psychic abilities they have. Here's the good news: we are ALL already psychic! Some of us are more naturally developed, but each of us can work on developing our psychic abilities further. First here's a brief explanation of the types of psychic ability: Clairvoyance (clear-seeing) Having "visions", seeing images (still or moving) on the inner screen of the mind (eyes can be open or closed). Also includes seeing auras, apparitions, angels, etc. In other words, seeing beyond the physical. The area of the body that receives the psychic impressions for this sense is located in the center of the forehead (the Third Eye). Claircognizance (clear-knowing) Having knowledge of certain situations/people/places without having any in Read more:Psychic
The Damned 2008-05-10 11:16:04 In today's society the strange are not very accepted, and often complain about it despite the fact that the worst they get are stares and maybe an otherwise avoidable traffic ticket or two. I personally find it ridiculous, because these people choose to be different unlike people with the misfortune of being born with deformities, just like I've chosen, but refuse to accept the consequences of their decision. It is for this reason that I've decided to post about people who chose to be different back in the old days, and sometimes were just accused of being different, and the price they had to pay in the end. Maybe this will shut those emo kids up for a while...Accused witchesWitches and those like them have been around sense the dawn of time, though it was only during the introduction of J
The Evil Eye 2008-05-10 11:10:54 Perhaps you have heard someone in your lifetime say... "Do not make her mad... for she is a Witch and she will put the Evil Eye on you". Well it does exist and it can happen to you without your knowing that you have been inflicted by someone. Let's do some history facts....The Evil Eye is one of the oldest and mostly wide spread inborn superstitions to possess man. The belief that there is a transmittal power of Evil existing in man, which can suddenly discharge upon any object it beholds, has existed since the time of prehistoric man. The origin of the belief is lost in the age of obscurity but carried forward and documented during the time when Witchcraft and Magic long preceded the world of Science. Its existence was attested to in Egyptian Hieroglyphics, the Bible and the classic Gree
The Strigoi 2008-05-10 11:03:01 Out of what crypt they crawl, I cannot tell But every night I see the rubbery things Black, horned, and slender, with membraneous wings And tails that bear the bifid barb of hell. They come in legions on the north wind's swell, With obscene clutch that titillates and stings, Snatching me off on monstrous voyagings To grey worlds hidden deep in nightmare's well. -- H.P. Lovecraft, "Night-Gaunts" The strigoi are in encyclopedia terms the undead, both spirits and physical forms, that rise from the grave to seek vengeance or otherwise haunt the countryside, feasting on either the life force or actual flesh and blood of its victims.

Chaos Magick 101 2008-05-10 10:36:37 One of the most inspirational aspects of the modern ChaosMagick
movement is that it can be classified outside of the definition of a religion. To clarify this point it is important to define exactly what a religion is. According to the Longman Concise English Dictionary a religion can be defined as:"A cause, principle or system of beliefs held to with ardour and faith; considered to be of supreme importance."The Chaos Magician only employs belief as a tool. When calling upon the God/desses of chaos the magician only utilises their in their existence during the actual working. It does not matter to Chaoists whether or not the deities that they employ in their magick exist in an external reality or if they are merely the creation of thought forms, which seems more likely.

Buddhism 101 2008-05-10 10:35:35 An Introduction to Buddhism
To do no evil; To cultivate good; To purify one's mind: This is the teaching of the Buddhas. --The DhammapadaThe Buddha was born Siddhartha Gautama, a prince of the Sakya tribe of Nepal, in approximately 566 BC. When he was twentynine years old, he left the comforts of his home to seek the meaning of the suffering he saw around him. After six years of arduous yogic training, he abandoned the way of self-mortification and instead sat in mindful meditation beneath a bodhi tree.On the full moon of May, with the rising of the morning star, Siddhartha Gautama became the Buddha, the enlightened one.The Buddha wandered the plains of northeastern India for 45 years more, teaching the path or Dharma he had realized in that moment. Around him developed a community or Sang
Models of Magick 2008-05-10 10:23:28 Models of Magick
By: Frater U.'.D.'. (Germany) In the course of exploring the possibilities of new, more efficient techniques of magic I was struck by the fact that a structuralist view of the history of magic to date might prove helpful. After all, magicians have always aspired to restate the theory and practice of magic in the language of their times i.e. in different models pertaining to current world views. There is, however, some risk involved in such an approach: models do not really explain anything, they are only illustrations of processes, albeit rather useful ones. What's more, over-systematization tends to obfuscate more than it clarifies and one should not mistake the map for the landscape anyway, a fallacy a great many kabbalists seem to be prone to. Thus, the following five
Psychic Protection 2008-05-10 10:00:04 Psychic Protection
Copyright 2001Claudia McNeely Psychic Protection is the most important thing you can learn when you develop an interest in the occult. It is also the one thing not taught in most books. In the past when one studied under an elder, protection was the first thing that was taught. The elder would spend months or longer simply throwing energy at the student, attacking the student in every way possible. Once the student could protect himself from anything the teacher threw at him, then, and only then, would he be taught anything else. This important skill is almost totally ignored today. Unfortunately putting a bubble of light around oneself, which is the most popular means of protection, is usually not sufficient.Though everyone would like to believe that Love and Lig Read more:Psychic
The Black Veil 2008-05-10 09:52:18 History of the Black
VeilThe widespread version of the Black Veil, hosted on literally thousands of real vampire sites across the Internet, is the result of a collaboration between Father Sebastian and Michelle Belanger. The original concept for the Black Veil was developed by Sebastian in the early nineties. It was strongly influenced by a widespread code of conduct honored in the New York fetish scene with overtones of chivalry borrowed from the Renaissance circuit. The first printed mention of the Black Veil appeared in the 1998 Vampyre Almanac. Here, the Black Veil was not specificly laid out as a document unto itself but instead was referred to in loose and general terms which stressed both secrecy and chivalry. Sebastian's later version, published online in 1999, had seven rules of b

Crystal Children 2008-05-10 09:08:49 How do you know if you, or someone you know, is an Indigo or Crystal
Child or Adult?We will describe the main features and characteristics of these people. But we want to stress that the Indigo/Crystal phenomenon is the next step in our evolution as a human species. We are all, in some way, becoming more like the Indigo and Crystal people. They are here to show us the way, and so the information can be applied more generally to all of us as we make the transition to the next stage of our growth and evolution.The Indigo Children
have been incarnating on the Earth for the last 100 years. The early Indigos were pioneers and wayshowers. After World War II, a significant number were born, and these are the Indigo adults of today. However, in the 1970s a major wave of Indigos was born, and so we
Eclectic Pathways 2008-05-10 09:01:47 The term Eclectic can be defined as:1. selecting or choosing from various sources.2. made up of what is selected from different sources.3. not following any one system, as of philosophy, religion, etc., but selecting and using what are considered the best elements of all systems.So, in that definition a person may consider themselves eclectic because they borrow from different belief systems, quite frequently within the Neo-Pagan community, some may refer to themselves as eclectic or having eclectic beliefs and take a belief in one path and mix it with another path.I am Eclectic.
