[~*Lonely Wanderer*~]: yup its a cool place!

[Morbid Poet]: ok ill think about it

[Master Wolf]: anyone think maybe we should get back on topic? I have one we could discuss...

[razorskiss666]: go for it...

[Master Wolf]: the possible existence of elohim (angels, for those who don't study the Celestial choirs)

[razorskiss666]: not my best topic, but theoretically, anything could exist on another plane of reality

[Master Wolf]: but how do you define another plane of reality? As another possibility that our choices have made obsolete for this one? Or simply another depth of meaning? Or perhaps our perceptions create individual planes of reality that touch only briefly...

[razorskiss666]: well, my definition for a plane of reality is a place where the spiritual and/or the psyche reside. probably not the best way of putting it, but basicall, anywhere that is bound by the power of nature and/or perceived by a beings psyche. idk, really complex to put into words, and im doing a terrible job of it, but you get the general idea of what im saying?

[spongemonkey]: I think I understand...

[eyes of frost]: It has been a while since I have been here...Good eve everyone.

[spongemonkey]: ^___^ hi!!!

[eyes of frost]: Hello...I just get here and have to go. night

[spongemonkey]: okies

[Master Wolf]: I think the discussion would be easier in person, yes. On the other hand, what's saying that the angels and demons that we encounter aren't just extentions of ourselves?

[Morbid Poet]: oh ok

[razorskiss666]: alway a possibility, but at the same time, i would say if that was so, we create them through our subconcious to represent the parts of our mind we normally dont want to listen to. but beings from another dimension, plane, or form of reality is always a possibility. or maybe a strange combination...

[Kit Azhure]: yes but if the 'angels or demons' are thought to be ruled by someone or thing its not a real pagan belief. only if they serve only one thing for instance a muse, she or he serves all not just the good or bad it serves all

[Master Wolf]: If you read the ancient texts on them, there were no such things as Demons. Angels were warriors for God, serving Its purpose in all things. They were messangers and healers, but also warriors and instruments of destruction.

[Lithium Lullaby]: hmmmm....lost

[~*Lonely Wanderer*~]: me too lol

[Lithium Lullaby]: lol another confuzzeled moment

[Master Wolf]: I'm not sure what's so confusing about this?

[Angel of Shadows]: There wasn't even a Devil until the New Testament was written. Originally Satan was an obstacle that people had to pass through in order to follow the correct path. He was the trickster, like Loki, and satanic only meant evil later on in its history. Originally it just meant more allong the lines of problematic or troublesome.

[WolfBrethren]: yep yep! you got a point there [Angel of Shadows]

[Angel of Shadows]: Why thank ya *salute*

[WolfBrethren]: i do my homework to! hehehe *evil laugh*

[~*Lonely Wanderer*~]: what is THAT supposed to do with their convorsation?

[WolfBrethren]: everything you dope! i was agreing with[Angel of Shadows]

[Angel of Shadows]: I find the whole idea of angels and demons pretty interesting. I'm not sure if they are exactly what we describe them to be, but I believe that they are real. Just... Spirits that we can sometimes encounter in our own reality. *shrugs* I'd like to think that our planes sometimes comingle with each other, both being able to communicate or witness each other from time to time. Who knows, we may be the angels of another reality

[WolfBrethren]: true true> But it also depends on what a person belives in.

[Angel of Shadows]: *smiles* That's what it all pretty much comes down to, isn't it?

[WolfBrethren]: yep! if you wanna talk more on this subject you can IM me and i'll be happy to have a discussion on this topic.

[Angel of Shadows]: Beliefs are an important part of our lives. Our world is constructed by them. It's a pity that some cannot tolerate a belief they think is wrong and have to kill for it

[WolfBrethren]: sad ist it?

[Master Wolf]: especially considering how many belief structures hold that we all walk different paths toward the same divinity

[Angel of Shadows]: Religion can be the bloodiest thing of all

[Kit Azhure]: Especaially when religion mixes with class structure

[Angel of Shadows]: Yeah, and other types of discrimination mixing with it can get rather messy as well

[Kit Azhure]: blood guts and gore.... welcome to the human race

[Angel of Shadows]: We are nothing but animals, no matter what our hearts tell us. To think anything else is wrong. We can rise above the animalistic urges, but for some the pleasure of it is just too great

[Kit Azhure]: but we never should have suppressed the urges think about it we are the only species EVER to destroy what nutures us. We take and take and take and give nothing back

[*~`Lady of Avalon`~*]: Whats wrong with being animalistic any way

[Angel of Shadows]: You ask what's wrong with being animalistic and then weep over the thousands of bodies that are piling up every day. You gaze in horror at the mangled bodies of people, shun those who have done these things and lock them up. Cannibals are thought of as disgusting, as are any people who decide to rape a woman instead of looking for consent.... being animalistic is in our nature, yet we are taught to rebel against it and we instinctfully fear those who have succumbed to those urges

[*~`Lady of Avalon`~*]: I don't weep for though who are gone if any thing I envy them but I will not rush death by takeing my life and be side I think if we acted more like our primle selves than we would have less problems

[Kit Azhure]: yes Angel you have a point but the other point is less people would make it to the point of those actions do to natural selection. Also if we were more animalistic well we wouldnt have those problems... think about it in a herd or pack or flock each has there own none are taken against their will and if there is none for one they leave and join with another its called respect... what humans lack... animals respect each other and themselves. For instance they only kill when they need to survive... unlike us who kill because we need a weeks supply of meat instead of buying it only when we need it... we think of the future and the past and ignore the present where as animals live mostly....

[Kit Azhure]: in the present. They may have shorter lives but they are healthier and live every day to the best of its potential they accept death instead of fearing it... in some regards we should try to be more like animals

[Angel of Shadows]: Granted, there might be that, but embracing the animal might also embrace destruction of some of the wonders society has to offer us. The ones who have thrown off all animalistic desires can find true beauty in art and education and such, but they are also missing a great part of themselves. Man is an animal, yes, but an intelligent one. There needs to be balance, or chaos will ensue.

[*~`Lady of Avalon`~*]: yah(answer to the first part)we pertty much though away with natural selection

[Angel of Shadows]: Yes, you do have a point there. Animals working in a pack do do a good job of keeping things together. But killing only when survival is necessary isn't always true. Take Jane Goodall (I think that's her name) and her study of the chimps. The chimps lived peacefully for several years, when one day, they snapped and started killing each other. Wolves will kill each other when fighting over being the leader of a pack, and that isn't totally necessary for their survival.

[Kit Azhure]: on the wolf killing, only if there are enough adults to feed the pack or pups. and in answer to ur first comment if we had remained animalistic aids or other incurable diseases never would have come about because population controll would be done throung natural selection, though it could be argued that incurable diseases are natural selection

[Angel of Shadows]: Disease has always been a problem, some of them thought to be incurable. Take smallpox for instance. People thought that was incurable, but a vaccine was discovered for it. I like to think in time there will be a cure for AIDs, because that isn't natural selection, it's just a virus. Once you have it, there's no hope for you unless you can afford the meds. Disease is a part of life, however, and I do agree that we are a bit too removed from the natural selections. People are destroying the very air they breathe, the very ground they stand on, and they don't care. We are weak, lazy and selfish, and we could all use a good heap of reality.

[Kit Azhure]: Ah but thats one of the problems ur reality isnt necessarily my reality and reality is compromised by greed and money if we werent so materialistic the human race would be better off

[Angel of Shadows]: Materialism is utterly horrible. People are unhappy, and try to solve that unhappiness by passing around little slips of paper, who are rather indifferent and do nothing to help the situation

[Kit Azhure]: i agree

[Angel of Shadows]: Glad we can finally do that. Heh... feel like I've been arguing against everyone all night, including myself

[Kit Azhure]: we haven't been arguing just a friendly debate

[WolfBrethren]: hehehe always a friendly debate huh Kit?

[WolfBrethren]: Total Anarchy! that a solve the population controle!

[Master Wolf]: there is a difference between anarchy and people going on killing sprees without worry of retribution... an eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind

[WolfBrethren]: i'll explain it so you can understand the concept of TOTAL anarchy.

[Master Wolf]: believe me, I understand the concept of anarchy better than most anarchists

[WolfBrethren]: hehehe

[WolfBrethren]: but then i say let the whole damn human race die. So in that respect, i dont like the human race so i realy dont care what happens to it, as long as the rest of the world is left alone and the humans stop murdering nature for their pleasure.

[Kit Azhure]: debate huh wolfy? sounds more like a rant

[WolfBrethren]: hehehe ypur funny u know that?

[Kit Azhure]: :P

[spongemonkey]: HELLO MY LOYAL FANS!!!!!!!!! *strikes pose*

[Kit Azhure]: huh?

[Raiff]: lalallalla...0_0

[*~`Lady of Avalon`~*]: I thought this was cool <img:http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/img/drawing/32014_1096732650.jpg>

[Angel of Shadows]: Who would mistake -that- for Jewish? I know it's more of a rhetorical thing, but still....

[Shardae]: Avalon, could you please take that down. That is sooo offensive. If you have ever been to a metaphysical store they make sure there pentacles or pentagrams are facing up, not down.

[Delladreing]: not all are the right side up, and facing down doenst always mean evil. but yes, please remove it, as a pagan with jewish ancestory, i do find it somewhat...vexing.

[Shardae]: No offense, I find it very offensive! Eh, I know it's not evil, it just is kinda stupid. And the only real reason we had the upside down pentacle is because the satanists thought it a good sign.

[Titchy-Witch]: same! YER,

[Shardae]: so what's up?

[Fireblade K'Chona]: Actually, I thought that the upside-down penta...(looks at Del nervously)...cle? Had its uses, anyway.

[Delladreing]: it does, its not just a stanic symbol

[Fireblade K'Chona]: What's it used for, then? I know there's two ways to draw an ordinary pentacle, and it's in the order of lines you put down, but I don't remember exactly what for.

[Delladreing]: ohh hang on *goes through her diary for her notes* i know it can meant the attainement of second degree in some covens...

[Dasner]: It's supposed to mean the main elements, Air, Water, Fire, Earth, and Spirit in the four main directions, North, South, East, West, the fifith being the soul center. I think. o.o That's what I always thought the pentacle/pentagram to be.

[Fireblade K'Chona]: Ok, thanks!

[Dasner]: You are most welcome. ^_^ *bows then waves goodbye, saying* Blessed be!

[Fireblade K'Chona]: Toodles.

[Shardae]: Hm, okay...

[Delladreing]: the sign is more offencive for its ignorance than anything else

[Shardae]: OKaay thanks for the notes

[Delladreing]: welcome

[Shardae]: -shivers-

[*~`Lady of Avalon`~*]: I not ignorant I just thought that you people would get down off your high horses and see the humer(spelled that wrong) in it but I guese I 'm the only wiccan that can take a joke in this place

[WolfBrethren]: hehehe

[*~`Lady of Avalon`~*]: what its the truth

[WolfBrethren]: i didnt say i had a problem with it did I? :)

[*~`Lady of Avalon`~*]: that wasn't seid in anger (well the I not ignorant.. one was but that wa defrent

[WolfBrethren]: i dont believe everyone in here is wiccan either

[*~`Lady of Avalon`~*]: well the people who where bitching are or pretending to be

[WolfBrethren]: hehehe

[*~`Lady of Avalon`~*]: you laugh a lot ^_^

[WolfBrethren]: yep! keeps me from killing people

[*~`Lady of Avalon`~*]: O If you could be killed by any movie villan who would it be and why

[WolfBrethren]: Laestat! you know the vamp

[*~`Lady of Avalon`~*]: he's not realy a villain but I will acsept your answer

[Shardae]: lestat. who would I be, I couldn't choose from a movie, if you let me choose from a book I would say Aubrey from Demon in my View

[*~`Lady of Avalon`~*]: ok no more lestat ok I don't count him as a real villlain

[Shardae]: I was spelling it right.

[Delladreing]: I am most certainly not wiccan, and no I wasnt pretending to be one, I wassimply stating that I find that sign to be degrading. So dont tell me to get off my high horse again, or I will not be happy.

[Shardae]: wo! go Deladreing!

[Delladreing]: *nods to Shardae* no body calls me and other respectful members of a religion "fakers" without more proof than their own ignorance.

[Fireblade K'Chona]: There is no one true way.

[Shardae]: I know there is not a true way

[Morbid Poet]: man did i miss a lot in here.

[razorskiss666]: yeah, me too... 2 and a half weeks gone and all kindsa crazynss

[Kit Azhure]: you miss a week and ur lost i think they are talking about the upside down pentacle

[Morbid Poet]: oh ok thank you

[spongemonkey]: yoho, folks!

[Shardae]: as did i

[spongemonkey]: wow, I aggre with the poet, I am really confussed.

[spongemonkey]: wow, I agree with the poet, I am really confussed.

[Morbid Poet]: u agree with me

[spongemonkey]: I agree with thou.

[Magdalena Snow]: you know, i've been looking around this site, and it seems to me that it's mostly just wicca. not that i have a problem with that, but shouldn't there be more of other pagan religions instead of just wicca?

[Angel of Shadows]: You've got a point there... hmm... You should probably message Nere about that, get some better representation going
