'Maru and friends' thread of randomness

[Hyorinmaru]

Just started studying it but yes I really am a Wiccan.

I plan on celebrating Samhain this year as well

 

[Hyorinmaru]

A life?!

THAT SELLOUT!!!

I know right?!?!?!

If you just started studying it, it is foolish to already be calling it your own. You should wait until you actually understand the entirety of it.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

I've talked to people that have been studying for 30+ years and they still don't understand the entirety of it.

 

[ScreaminNormanSmiley]

Maybe not the entirety, but you should at least understand and know the large majority of it, certainly more than somebody who just began studying it.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

the large majority will still take years upon years, Wicca has been around for a very very very long time.

I just know this is the right path for me

 

[ScreaminNormanSmiley]

If you think it is the right path go ahead and study it and find out. Right now you are claiming to be something when you don't really know what it means, and that is just being ignorant. If it takes years upon years, so be it, that doesn't change anything that I have said.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

do you do this to people who say they just became a christian?

 

[ScreaminNormanSmiley]

If they did not thoroughly study it beforehand, yes I would. I am not saying Wicca is wrong, as I know nothing of, what I am saying applies to all aspects of life.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

I've been studying every day for hours for the last week.

I don't know everything but I do know enough to make an informed decision

 

[ScreaminNormanSmiley]

Studying for a week is not thorough and you were already calling yourself a Wicca days ago. .

 

[Hyorinmaru]

Thorough enough to make an informed decision.

 

[ScreaminNormanSmiley]

Not a well informed decision.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

Well today turned into a shitty day.

Suffice to say I'm back in the job pool and I'm not in a good mood. Not only is the job market in the country right now shitty at this point in time Ithaca is full of college students so it's even worse.

Won't stop me from looking though

What happened? they lay you off?

 

[Hyorinmaru]

yeah. I've been wanting to look for a new job anyway but I was complacent. Now I don't have a choice.



and it's about time you posted in here, you've been lurking since I started the damn thing

 

[The Man They Call WMD]

After googling Wiccan, and reading about it I don't really understand. I'm def ignorant to this. Is the religion organized? Or is it more a belief system?

 

[Hyorinmaru]

well every religion is a belief system so it's both.

Wiccans worship the ancient Gods and Goddesses of any culture they feel drawn to because they all represent THE Goddess and THE God.

I chose the Greek Pantheon because I've always felt drawn to them.

Is their a sect or group that also worships the Greek Pantheon? How do you know how to worship? Is their a bible or do you follow the customs and practices the Greeks followed?

 

[Hyorinmaru]

not that I know of. It's every Wiccans personal decision what pantheon they choose. The more adept you get in spell casting you can actually call on Gods/Goddesses from other pantheons.

How do you know how to worship?

There are rituals you follow for the 8 festivals Pagans celibrate throughout the year but mostly it's just about connecting with The Goddess which personal for every wiccan

Is their a bible or do you follow the customs and practices the Greeks followed?

Every Wiccan/Witch has their own Book of Shadows filled with personal rituals and spells so no their isn't 1 set bible like you would find in Orthodox religions

 

[The Man They Call WMD]

Hey, goodluck I'm not gonna judge what someone believes in. If it makes you happy and doesn't harm others, then it sounds like a good thing to believe in.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

Actually there's a sect that follows the Greek god Hermes. I'm not wiccan myself though.

Edit to be honest, I feel that the gods and godesses really don't care for all these ritualistic things. It's the intent that they appreciate. Magick casting is all about intent Maru just don't get yourself into things that you AREN'T ready for. Trust me. there's stuff out there that you have to be experienced for.

Yeah I know. I think the rituals are more the witch and getting the attention of the Goddess and so she can read your intent

Yeah I know. I'm not going to try any spells for a long time.

Good, because if you do I will astrally whip you until you stop. ( research planewalking and you'll know what I mean).
