		<description>I believe we ALL have a right to see things from a different preception but there is so much with the double edge because their is to much fighting between and within everything...:(... the void is where we all came from and will return someday and realize we are all equal at that point again.... nobody can truly take anything from the spirit within us....it&#039;s all a manipulation for the better or worse ( + and -) grounding us.... evolution = evolving with each revolution and I believe co-existing can bring Peaceful coexistence for ALL thru tolerence and exceptence. Someday we ALL have to put on our big girl or boy pants  on and grow-up or keep falling down....when we are in the shell ( black kettle or pot)....the senses tell us everything matters....in the shell and it does to a certain point but when you listen to the clarity around you, you realize you become what you consume thru media or the green screen etc.....
Opinions are like ass-holes everyone has one but we need to steady ourselves (our vessel) and listen to the simpliest things around us if ownly for a moment (Makes me think of the song DUST IN THE WIND BY KANSAS) to see and hear the conflict within......(PHYSICS) Black matter surrounds us ALL its not good or bad onless we allow ourselves to be manipulated into believeing it is. We ALL HAVE OUR OWN FREE-WILL it is what it is.... but sometimes we all get alittle confused and allow ourself to be manipulated in some way thru force,fear, guilt.... I know I have... and then want to lash out (enxiety trying to stay away from everyone crawling under the covers like a child) but controling myselves (CHILD,MAIDEN,MOTHER )as much as I can and holding onto much as possible memories mine and others. Then remembering the child in me neededing healing, healing then remembering and trying to send out good vibrations (seeds) so that it returns within because someone once told me what you put out to the center always bounces back so be the change.....and you become the change..... and I BELEIVED as a child in true MAGICK thru this simple message........THE AQUARIUS AGE WOULD COME IN WITH GOOD VIBRATIONS SENT WITHIN THEN OUT.....TRYING TO TEACH THE WORLD TO SING IN HARMONY AND BALANCE IN DUALITY (reflections and facets)</description>

		<description>This was the best explaination I have heard. I actually sent it on to people who are not Wiccan, but are interested in what it is about because I am wiccan</description>

However I wanted to tell you about my expairence with the cat goddess! One day I was curiuos about magic and I found it or it found me. One spring I saw the lacoust tree and its pruty it smeelt wonderfull sweet like anything I have ever smelt. At that time wanted to know what it was and to know magic I can not explain it. I found myself in a spritual fiald with a great cat that was nice to me and was perring she rubed her self to me and kissed me I can not forget it I will never forget it she was real I know she was but I lost contact with her when I became afrad she ment me no herm but I just want to tell her that I am sorry.</description>

		<description>I enjoyed your article and it was helpful in understanding Wicca. Thank you!

Whether it&#039;s triple, double or equal return, true life is Sacred and all are connected. Like Karma, basically you get what you give, if you give bad, you will get bad and if you give good, you will get good.  Regardless of the level or amount, it&#039;s either good or bad. That&#039;s just basic common sense on any level.

There is&quot; no one right way&quot; to interpret the Wiccan Rede, as it says&quot; Do as ye will,&quot; which would mean read it as you will as well. As long as &quot;ye harm none.&quot; So technicalities are again in man&#039;s dogma no matter how spiritual we try to be...</description>

		<description>The reason that modern Neopagans use the extra &#039;k&#039; in magick is because that&#039;s how we distinguish our magickal religious practices from those of stage magicians who are performing sleight of hand magic.

I certainly don&#039;t want my magick to be confused with that type of magic.

That&#039;s what my Priestess taught me.</description>

		<description>On the whole, this is a very good article.  I hate to be &quot;picky&quot; but there are some inaccuracies in my opinion.  For example, what you call The Law of Return or Karma is not an offshoot of the Three-fold Law.  It is the opposite.  The Universal Law of Return or Karma came first.  Also, I don&#039;t believe in the Boomerang Triple Whammy Law.  I agree with Wiccan Priestess and NYC Laywer Phyllis Curott (Author of Witchcrafting) that the 3-Fold law is a terrible basis for Wiccan ethics, i.e., I won&#039;t hex you because something 3 times worse is going to happen to me.  That&#039;s based in fear of punishment which is not a part of my religion whatsoever.  The Law of Karma is very clear about the fact that whatever you do is going to come back to you EQUALLY.... not three times worse.  That&#039;s pure and utter baloney even if it is in the Wiccan Reed.

The reason that Witches don&#039;t hex or harm is because we BELIEVE that all life is SACRED, that&#039;s why.  Not because we are afraid of being triple punished.</description>
