Occultic Spell Craft in Christian churches Entry for March 30, 2007
This is just an observation and not a condemnation of christian churches. The other night I was watching the news and there was a program about a ministry to keep young people from leaving Christianity. This ministry was started over 20 years ago. However it appears it has failed in it's purpose since young people are leaving christianity in record numbers.

The things the Pastor does to keep teenagers in churches is to hold a loud rock concert but the rock is Christian Rock. This in itself is odd to me because in the first 4 centuries or more of Christianity instruments of music was not used because us Pagans used it in our worship and the fact it was not commanded in the New testement. Oh I know Christians who want to justify instruments of music use David and the Old Testament as an example but they fail to read the condmnation of David inventing the use of musical instruments for worship by the prophet Amos. Amos chapter 6:5 is a very clear condemnation of David using musical instruments in worship. Remember God considered David special and overlooked many things he did, but held others accontable for doing the same things because it is written that David was a man after God's own heart, but again it is also written that God is not a respecter of persons, but there is suppossed to not be any contradictions in the bible,. Oh Well.

Anyway that is a different subject and the point I want to discuss is the spell casting in churches. The news cast showed this Pastor getting the kids to write down the things they want to get rid of things in their life such as any bad behaviour, or attitudes or actions or anything that holds them back from being the Christian they should be. Then they must visualize these negative traits vanishing and good traits taking their place, then they walk single file dow to the Altar and drop the paper in a box or tub and then a prayer is said and the list of papers are burned and the negative traits are said to be destroyed.

In my lifetime going to different Christian churches and then my 20 some odd years in the Churches of Christ I have seen many things similar to this and it always bothered me because I had had just a little occult experience in my early 20's and knew this was spell casting.

As a pagan I have no problem with casting spells and being involved in the occult, but my religion now is Wicca which is an occult religion. However I find it odd and hypocritical for christians to practice spell casting, but I do realize that they have no idea that they are using the occult to bring about things they want in their Christian life. Again it is not my intention to bash christianity, I am just writing observations I witness and hopefully before any one condemns me for being involved in the occult, they might possibly read this and see they themselves are involved in the occult also. My point is and I have said this many times and have got many christians mad, but my point is modern Christianity is simply Paganism in disguise and the followers do not even know this. I mainly say this during Yule which christians call Christmas and Easter because these two holidays are the main Christian holidays and are pagan holidays distorted to appear christian. Don't believe me? Before you type a coment trying to tell me I am wrong, just research these things and you will be suprised if you are a Christian. These comments are no different than sermons I used to preach as a preacher, the only difference then is I was trying to cause Christians to leave pagan ways behind and now just trying to show Christians we are no different than they are, we just know what we do whereas they beleive they are different and do not do the things we do.
Blessed Be.

Alcoholics Anonymous Entry for August 19, 2007
These are my thoughts about AA based on a few months in AA in 1991. I fiarst attended AA on Memorial dy 1991 and stayed there until late October or Early November 1991. I made over 90 in 90. I attended 9 meetings a week every day I made the 6:0'clock meeting and on Saturday I made the noon meeting and on Wednsdays I made the 8O'clock meeting.

This was not good enough for my sponsor and he demanded I make more meetings. I was making more then he was but it still was not enough. My experience in AA was very disurbing. I was forced to through my medication for depression down the toilet and in that short time I just nearly commited suicide due to depression being so bad. I keep hearing I was just in a bad group, but the people I have met since convinces that this tryp of behaviour is the norm for AA.

I may post the whole story one day but righ now this is about it. Long story short. Ileft AA relapsed, but on Feb 29,1992 I pulled my last drunk. I have been sober for over 15 years now and did it without AA.

I co own a yahoo group called without_AA. We have people who have been burned by AA and it is more of a place to discuss the wrongs of AA than a therapy group. The group can be found here http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/without_aa/.

Drumming Entry for August 19, 2007
I love to drum. I have been drumming now a little over 2 years. I play the Doumbek and Djembe hand drums using Middle Eastern Belly dance Rhythms and am teaching myself some drum circle Rhythms.

I own seven drums total right now, but am sure I will add to my collection.

I don't attend drum circles as often as I would like but hopefully in the future I can. I am a member of some drummers and we drum for Belly dancers. My wife is a student Belly dancer. I love drumming for the dancers and love to drum alone or with others just jamming.

For me drumming is a spiritual experience. It can sooth and heal. when I had my wreck my brothers tried to drum for me on my cell phone, but it did not work, but I still felt the healing from the rhythms as they drummed even though I did not hear them.

Just last week I had gotten my teeth pulled and was in a little pain during practice but the healing rhythms caused me to feel much better.

I meditate using my drum and Pound out rhythms as a gift to the Goddess and God.

I like to drum and talk drumming with other drummers.

If you drum or just like listening to hand drumming leave a note so I we can discuss this wonderful spiritual experience.

Getting Rid of Unwanted Ghosts Entry for September 05, 2007
This is my view on how to get rid of unwanted spirits based on my knowledge and experience with ghosts.

Ghosts are people without bodies and as such they retain the same personality they had when alive. Most ghosts are not dangerous and some are very helpful.

However if you find yourself with a malevolent spirit I would never suggest to have what some people call exorcism done on the house. Actual exorcisms are done on people and that is another topic altogether, but many modern ghost hunters use this word for the religious ritual of saying I rebuke you in the name of Jesus or some other Deity. Waving crosses or other religious symbols around the room chanting words like I exorcise you etc.

This may seem to work for a while but usually ends with the ghost returning and makes them angry.

The best way to get rid of unwanted spirits is to just talk to them like you would if they were still alive. Rebuking a ghost in the name of some Deity will not work any more then rebuking a robber with a gun robbing a bank. This only angers the humans and ghosts.

Spirits are attracted to certain people at times because of their personalities. You know like attracts like. A lot of times a malevolent spirit is attracted to someone due to the way they act and think. Drug abuse and alcoholism and depression can at times attract malevolent spirits and the only way to completely rid oneself of these spirits is to get rid of the attitudes addiction etc that is causing this. That is a work with inside oneself.

Now one thing I do is to cleanse the negative energy within the walls of a house thus making It undesirable for the malevolent spirit, but the real work comes from inside the person attracting the spirit.

A home full of fighting, yelling screaming will not attract benevolent spirits but negatives ones.

I don't know what happenned, but today I logged on and all my friends were gone. I did not delete them. If you were in my friend list as a contact please do so again. I did not change anything. I do not remember who all were in my friends list but I had sevaral.
