Pagan Association Rant

I'm getting annoyed about being associated as pagan anymore. All this "all pagans believe..." propaganda that's spewed out even in pagan communities is just giving us all a bad name. If I didn't know what pagan truly was I would've just been nihilist. We didn't start out nature worshipers, we don't all worship nature now, we don't all believe in good over evil, we don't all work for light/love, we don't all follow the same holidays, we don't all believe in karma, we don't all follow harm none, wiccan/witch/pagan/shaman "all the same woman just with different titles.... um NO, all gods aren't the same one with different names/aspects, we don't all believe in the same drivel... hence [b]umbrella term[/b]. It's getting to the point where the market is so supersaturated with this crap that when I say I'm pagan people shyte themselves when they find out I work with necromancy and live sacrifices.... "you're not pagan!" ... "The hell I'm not, I'm not an abrahamic faith so I'm pagan." In mixed company, esp if people are present who would assume the above, I have resorted to calling myself Occultist. Least in that sub-category of paganism there are many who have enlightened past the fluffy love/light/healing/karma crap and know things for what they are. Harmonious with nature isn't all love, light, healing and stagnated peace. Nature is in constant flux of life and death, how can we be in harmony with it if we're only following one side? We can't, we have to actively practice all aspects (creation, destruction, death) to keep that balance. Peace is no more than one of the human concepts that they claim is a universal truth and they say all of us strive for.

My Experience with Soul Retrieval

After a lifetime of torture leading to a series of highly traumatic events I felt myself shatter and split much like you see in the cartoons when the character runs into something. I remember hearing through out my life that I needed to under go a soul shattering, but never found a way to do it in a controlled way so I guess it was done for me in the most violent way possible. There is a process to do it so the person being unmade then remade does not have psychosis, then there was the way it happened for me where it completely takes your mind apart in the process. I had a period of time where I completely lost touch with reality. I would sit on the ground then not be able to trust if it actually was the ground and felt like I was going to fall. I could see my home plane and this world at once and react with both of them; I would duck from the jutting crystals when the path here was clear. I slipped into a serious suicidal fit during this so I would just go home and be done with it. Fi...

Mind Blowing Find in Numerology

I just blew my mind while messing with numerology. I sometimes run odd calculations when I get muddled by the ones I'm actually working on. The typical way to do the birth number calculation is per number. Shall use my birthday. - 1+0+0+7+1+9+8+1= 27 = 2+7= 9 I decided to see what would happen if I added the month to the date to the year as a lump: - 10+7+1981= 1998 = 27 = 9 It works with today's date as well: - 5+4+2+0+1+4= 16 = 7   vs   5+4+2014= 2023 = 2+2+3= 7 To further add to the mind blowing... 1998 was my glory year where I had everything I ever wanted in life (including having my musical talent broadcasted on worldwide tv and touring the us and canada) and was at my happiest. 27 is the year that the events that lead to my psychotic break and redefining "hell" started. I still love the number, it's always been my fave and a highly spiritual number 3^3, esp for draconic work.

A Feather is not Always Just a Feather

It is said that sometimes a dream is just a dream, or a feather is just a feather. Upon looking back over the past year I would beg to differ. The following are some dreams, visions and events of the past year that all seem to correlate into one large message.... just what that message could be exactly is another story... Dream-Periodically from September through November 2009: ***I was in a Samhain ritual with my ex and our newest clan-member. I didn't see her face, she was a bit chubby with black hair but I never saw her face. I watched as he got a little too friendly then initiated sex between them. Dream-Occasionally from October 2009 through March 2010: (the next three kind of progress) ***It was a hot sunny day, I watched my ex back out of the parking space in a black four door car. He was leaving to move in with his new fiancee. When he started to pull out of the parking lot he looked at me and was faceless. (At this time he had a small gray ae86 then a green soarer. ) Dr...
