2023-05-01 19:07 trollt It's a grand preparation team effort!

2023-05-01 19:09 trollt 'Trash Catholic'
2023-05-01 19:10 balkandiviner14 That's so true
2023-05-01 19:10 trollt Paganism
2023-05-01 19:10 balkandiviner14 My experience was similar, only I had limited contact with Wicca.
2023-05-01 19:10 trollt Green politics
2023-05-01 19:11 trollt Hand of Glory
2023-05-01 19:12 balkandiviner14 What's the biggest advantage of community within pagan circles? And what would be a setback you have experienced if any, in such a community? Is there a distinct difference between belonging to a coven and learning entirely on your own.
2023-05-01 19:14 rev_art @reverendjames is here on break!
2023-05-01 19:14 trollt Yay!
2023-05-01 19:14 reverendjames Hello!
2023-05-01 19:14 trollt Glad you could make it.
2023-05-01 19:15 jaydeehoodoo Hey James we miss you in announcements LOL
2023-05-01 19:15 reverendjames 20 min break but yeah! Nice to hear it from the listeners side for once though!
2023-05-01 19:15 reverendjames Lol @jaydeehoodoo
2023-05-01 19:16 trollt Did you find that there is a marked societal difference between those who want to circle and worship (wiccans) and those who want to do magic and cast spells (witches)?
2023-05-01 19:16 trollt Raymond Buckland made mention of this cultural difference amongst the Pagans.
2023-05-01 19:18 trollt Did you notice that there was quite a bit of competition between witches and ceremonial magicians? How did you negotiate that social divide? You said that you were reading Aleister Crowley did you find his material helpful to your magical practices?
2023-05-01 19:19 reverendjames P!NK reference!
2023-05-01 19:19 trollt What are the Mysteries? Are there viable, authentic, enduring representatives of mystery cults as generally understood? Or are most of them re-inventions?
2023-05-01 19:20 trollt Were you initiated into some coven or order? Did that help you along your Path?
2023-05-01 19:21 balkandiviner14 What's the biggest advantage of community within pagan circles? And what would be a setback you have experienced if any, in such a community? Is there a distinct difference between belonging to a coven and learning entirely on your own.
2023-05-01 19:21 trollt Do you think that the vows of secrecy which may have been involved with that were important to it? Do you think there's ways of instructing people about those secrets which don't contribute to breaking those vows?

2023-05-01 19:25 balkandiviner14 It's interesting. You are certainly also an extroverted personality. Might I ask what is your sign of the zodiac, or have you ever analyzed spiritually this characteristic of yours. Because there are certainly people who are drawn to be lone wolves.
2023-05-01 19:25 trollt Scott Cunningham
2023-05-01 19:25 trollt You could learn from the GODS!
2023-05-01 19:26 theredqueenconjure I personally feel both solitary and finding tribe a good balance
2023-05-01 19:27 theredqueenconjure Crowley put his hand in the wicca jar
2023-05-01 19:27 trollt LOL Indeed!
2023-05-01 19:28 theredqueenconjure Crowley and Gardener were friends
2023-05-01 19:28 trollt I slowed down.
2023-05-01 19:30 trollt Hutton
2023-05-01 19:30 trollt Indeed, theredqueenconjure, Crowley provided Gardiner with a charter for the OTO and some of his ritual writings were used in Wiccan circles.
2023-05-01 19:30 theredqueenconjure A lot of ‘em don't know that I've met
2023-05-01 19:31 balkandiviner14 What is your view on negative work? Do you believe in the three-fold law, karma, justified/unjustified work, none of that? And how does it unfold in your belief with what happen with us after death.
2023-05-01 19:31 theredqueenconjure @trollt yeah I know...lol I get in a lot of arguments with wiccans bout it lol
2023-05-01 19:32 trollt Gardner
2023-05-01 19:33 balkandiviner14 Thank you! I've made a habit of asking this question to magical practitioner to understand them better. You are actually the second cancer that answered my question (the first Heidi Holton)
2023-05-01 19:33 docmurphy1 LETS DANCE!
2023-05-01 19:33 theredqueenconjure Sorry autocorrect and I'm a horrible speller
2023-05-01 19:34 rev_art I always dance when this starts, here and on the Lucky Mojo Hoodoo Rootwork Hour!
2023-05-01 19:34 balkandiviner14 It's an enjoyable music indeed!
2023-05-01 19:34 trollt What is your view of the types of magic? Is there any reason to distinguish thaumaturgy, which centers itself on the magician or witch and theurgy, which locates the stimulus for change with an agent petitioned, such as an angel, or deity?

2023-05-01 19:35 rev_art LOL!
2023-05-01 19:36 trollt Is magic a type of probability-driving?
2023-05-01 19:36 balkandiviner14 I agree so much
2023-05-01 19:36 balkandiviner14 So so much
2023-05-01 19:36 balkandiviner14 Magic is a different type of craft
2023-05-01 19:36 trollt Magic and science: Crowley had theorems and wacky notions about how magic (k!) related to science. Are any of them viable?
2023-05-01 19:36 balkandiviner14 Too many people do this because they want to appeal to skeptics or whatever
2023-05-01 19:37 theredqueenconjure @docmurphy1 yassss science is science...magic is separate
2023-05-01 19:37 jaydeehoodoo I just seen that same quote Doc in a movie lol
2023-05-01 19:37 trollt Science is an investigatory methodology and endeavour; its aim is the acquisition of knowledge.
2023-05-01 19:37 theredqueenconjure Hence the mysterious
2023-05-01 19:37 trollt Magic is an endeavour to get what you desire, usually through some kind of symbolic means.
2023-05-01 19:38 trollt Applied science is getting a bit closer to what magic includes.
2023-05-01 19:38 trollt In that it relates moreso to *doing something* (dammit!).
2023-05-01 19:39 rev_art Agree @trollt!
2023-05-01 19:39 theredqueenconjure Well a tipped hat to science would be string theory that's as close as science comes
2023-05-01 19:40 theredqueenconjure To finding anything spiritual
2023-05-01 19:41 trollt Is Anthropology a good way to study magic scientifically?
2023-05-01 19:42 trollt Are there many good books about that? I know Susan Greenwood wrote "The Anthropology of Magic"; are there many others?
2023-05-01 19:42 balkandiviner14 What is your view on negative work? Do you believe in the three fold law, karma, justified/unjustified work, none of that? And how does it unfold in your belief with what happen with us after death.
2023-05-01 19:44 trollt Are degrees related to magical ability? How so?
2023-05-01 19:45 trollt Compare: energy work, reiki, prayer
2023-05-01 19:45 trollt It keeps Doc WARM!
2023-05-01 19:51 trollt Are there certain types of rituals or forms of magical practice which are MORE EFFECTIVE in achieving what one desires than others? Does this vary biologically, culturally, temporally, or otherwise? Is anything substantial about magic's formal requirements for success? Can it all be prayer, thinking, and energetics?
2023-05-01 19:51 trollt Moral magical restraint?! Gods may complain!
2023-05-01 19:53 trollt "Light" / "Dark" == You mean like benefic and harmful? LOL
2023-05-01 19:53 trollt 10-Fold!
2023-05-01 19:54 trollt Why not 7-Fold?
2023-05-01 19:55 trollt Can magic transcend time? Can we use it to time-travel? Or to change the past?
2023-05-01 19:55 trollt Is magic's efficiency improved by doing the work of the practical ritual or spell work on the plane of its desired manifestation?
2023-05-01 19:56 trollt (Want it to happen internally then doing mental visualizations; want it to happen in the physical world then do the spell work using physical implements?)
2023-05-01 19:57 trollt Physical STUFF, MAN!
2023-05-01 19:59 balkandiviner14 How much magic can help global crises and problems on a larger scale? Take the Russian invasion of Ukraine. To what degree can magic help in this regard. And is it effective to affect in any form public figures (such as Putin or other world leaders).
2023-05-01 20:00 trollt IS there something difficult about determining when something actually WORKS? Can we become self-deceived and embrace conformation bias and think we are powerful when in fact we're not doing anything but imagining we're special?
2023-05-01 20:01 trollt Are there people who have an aptitude to doing spellwork and doing magical things? Is there a way to identify them or predict them, or bring such individuals into the Cone of Power to get what we want done?
2023-05-01 20:04 trollt What limitations are there to what magic can be used to achieve? Can we become GODS? Become immortal? Control the world?
2023-05-01 20:07 trollt Does magic have a 'path', or is it just a neutral technical thing you can use to get what you want? Is spirituality necessarily connected with spellwork? Is there an esoteric order which guides it all and keeps it all in line with an ascension scheme we can climb up to achieve the aims of religion?
2023-05-01 20:11 trollt Are there good ways to enlist spirits to get them to make change in the world in connecting with one's own ritual and political activities? Can you build a court or a team or a militia of spirits to help our social movement WIN rather than have to wait for centuries for a Golden Time that may never come?
2023-05-01 20:12 trollt Magic is my favorite subject in life. So I barrage with questions.
2023-05-01 20:13 trollt Your opinion!
2023-05-01 20:15 trollt What is your favourite TYPE of magical spell?
2023-05-01 20:15 trollt LOL

2023-05-01 20:21 trollt 10!
2023-05-01 20:25 trollt Limitations are what specialization is made out of!
2023-05-01 20:25 trollt I found limitation useful for focus.
2023-05-01 20:26 trollt RAM Metaphysical Books in San Jose!
2023-05-01 20:27 trollt Some MALL bookstore had "The Satanic Bible" and "The Necronomicon" which gave me inspiration early on.
