Wicca @ MindSay 
I have not been to active on my blogs of late, I have been busy sorting out what I believe and why. I went back and looked at some Christian web sites, and re-read some books and then returned to look at some sites on Wicca. What I have come to understand is that although Christianity has some wonderful aspects to it there is many things within it that is troubling to me. Many of these 'ministries' seem to poo poo most other ministries of their own path, no one seems to be correct but only the website you are reading, and although I found this to be so in Wicca and Witchcraft sites, it was not as bad as I found on these Christian sites, they have for the most part nothing good to say about anyone else, whether it be in their religion and definitely in other religions, they are all in 'error' but 'them'. Another point is , I may be liking what is being said until I open the bible and do some reading then all it does is anger me because I will come to scriptures about women and they be more than one would think, and if I am in the Old Testament my feathers get all out a wack then I go to the new testament and it gets no better, not worse but not much better. This path which is preached by all as the Truth, and its God's words to mankind , yet none can agree with each other on what it says,after awhile of this crap, I have to leave it alone cause it makes me feel all yucky inside, if it really is truth, and ones soul is at stake, how will anyone ever determined who is correctly interpreting it ,for ones souls is in real jeopardy if you do not. This leaves me in a terrible predicament for I know I will never figure out the 'one truth' out of so many, All the fighting and bickering is not for me.......When I read what these sites have to say about Wicca, it really gets my dander up, its ok to tell me why your way is good, but do not do that with half truths about all the other paths out there especially the one I am on, because I will know when you stick your foot in your mouth with half truths and down rite lies, and it isn't becoming nor does it help your cause to write lies to make ones path look better, you do not need to do that if ones path is supposedly the ONE and Only True path..........so back to Wicca.
What I love about the Earth based religions is that its about connecting with the rhythms of the earth and the land around you , connecting with nature, with people, and understanding that we are all a part of the great web of life. I do not worship the creation,as all Christian websites say we do, but I do worship the Creator through their creation, by being apart of the web of life, and by joining in with the process and the course, and energy as it progresses through the seasons, by understanding the 'Natural Laws of the Universe' That our Mother Father Creator has placed in this physical and spiritual plane, and how they work is what these paths are all about, The Wheel of the year, and the monthly phases of Grandmother Moon these celebrations are for the joy of life and living, and our involvement within it. This path celebrates LIFE this material world we live in as something SACRED and VERY GOOD, our flesh is a good thing, it is not evil or bad as the Christian websites I visited said it is, they tell us we must deny our flesh, that it is bad and only our Spirit once it is reborn is good, I have to say a big, nay nay. They say that magic is wrong because it is selfish, that our whole life is to be in service to others only, I say , nay nay, it is not, We can not give to others if we are empty and in poverty, or sick,we give out of our abundance, we must tend to our personal needs first before we can help another.If I am sick, it is wrong for me to seek to heal others while I am unable to care for myself,tending to ones own garden so to speak is not selfish, for we must work our garden, we must till our soil, plant our seeds, water, and feed our plants, and weed it before we can harvest our garden, only when we harvest and tend to our own needs first are we ever able to give to others the bounty from our growth.
This is what is so wonderful about meditating on the Wheel of the Year, and on the different energies of each Moon . By incorporating the energy of these things and the Laws of nature into our lives, we then are able to reap a bountiful harvest in our inner most being, and our lives, and only then are we able to give unto others the benefit of our abundance our growth, and our harvest.
No there is nothing evil in the Earth Traditions /and Wisdom, and the Magick in the path that I follow because Magick is one's INTENTION, and if my INTENTIONS/ and MAGICK is good, loving, kind, and generous, there is never any evil in that.
Blessed be

It would seem to me that the British government needs to google, some and learn about Wicca, to say that this religion does not worship a Supreme Being, is outrageous and sadly funny, I think they best come up with another reason that is based on fact.

British Government Denies Wiccan Temple
Davis, and the rest of the rather large Wiccan community in her area, are understandably outraged. She's filing an appeal with the Home Office, in hopes that the decision will be reversed.
Although the story includes the phrase "Lord and Lordess", which is one I've never heard used before, it seems like Davis may have just cause for complaint. Wicca does indeed honor deity, although in most cases it's a pair of supreme beings, rather than just one. From what I've been able to gather with a little bit of Google-fu, the Places of Worship Registration Act is more of a paperwork sort of thing, rather than having any specific doctrinal requirements. Do any of our UK readers know if there's a precedent for this? Are there other government-recognized Wiccan temples in the United Kingdom?
Okay, this is part two in my attempt to get caught up recreating my deleted account. Yikes! Good thing I like working on the Internet!
Another website I recently created was www.WitchHuntNovel.com. It is the official website for the rare, out-of-print classic Wiccan novel by Devin O'Branagan, called WITCH HUNT. It is a multi-generational saga about a family of witches, that takes them from their persecution during the Salem witch trials, to a modern-day, fundamentalist Christian-inspired witch hunt. The research is amazing and--since wicca is my own religion--I know my stuff. So, apparently, does Devin. It is breathtaking in its accuracy and its spiritual and magical insights.
The amazing cover won an award as one of the best covers of the year. It was designed by the famous artist Keith Birdsong, who designs many of the STAR TREK book covers.
It has adult content, however, and should be only read by adults. Lots of sex and violence, but that was the nature of the persecutions, I guess.
Anyway, I have so much to say that I need to do it in short bursts or I will be overwhelmed. Please check back as I continue with the saga of recreating the massive blog that was vanquished by some evil power.
Hmmmm? I wonder if there's a novel in that?
I cant wait for the coven beltane ritual on thursday!
Oh anyone wiccan that can recomend some books. I already have my reading list for the coven but i want books that tell like the story of how the religion is and the beliefs of them. You know like The ALL created the god and the goddess and so on and so forth.
