[spongemonkey]: i'm a little more of a beliver, but I think you ahve the right Idea, it is. thats it, its one and it is here. but I've had some SERIOUSLY bizzare things happen so there is that.

[eyes of frost]: *appears from the wind and sits on the floor/ground and watches everyone*

[spongemonkey]: o.o uhhhhhhhhhh...

[SAHS]: I believe that these things have happened to other people. They just haven't happened to me, and so I can't relate to the firm beliefs that others may have.

[spongemonkey]: really? huh.

[Master Wolf]: That's a term I've not heard before. What is an OBE?

[spongemonkey]: dunno.

[SAHS]: Out of Body Experience. Astral Projection/Travelling, where your consciousness leaves your body during a sleep-like state.

[Master Wolf]: Aha. Yes, those are interesting, aren't they?

[spongemonkey]: those are fun!!!

[SAHS]: Quite! 'Cept my mom interrupted my only successful try at it... I've done it a few times rather unconsciously, but they were all pretty brief.

[Master Wolf]: I can only achieve Astral travel in my sleep, or going to the Fey realms. It's not easy for some people, even very accomplished witches and mages sometimes can't do it.

[spongemonkey]: I found a book on it and I've been practising, I've only done it coniously twice.

[moira hawthorne]: I dream walk very well and can astral project while wake but I cant read tarot or do other skills and talents that others find easy....its the way it is....I hate to be like everyone else....

[SAHS]: Haha, yeah. I have a book on Tarot, but my friend borrowed it right after I bought it and then moved to Russia. I haven't had the chance to get another one... But I'm pretty sure I can read Tarot rather easily, it's one of the only things I CAN do. I haven't tried to Project since my mom interrupted me, and I doubt I can do it very easily again. It took hours of meditation, and I simply don't have the time for that right now.

[Master Wolf]: I always find comfort in the fact that my abilities aren't like other peoples. I'd had to think there was another one of me out there

[SAHS]: Yes, same here. Though maybe that's because everyone in my area is either Christian or one of those pseudo-Wiccans... So maybe it's just because I'm surrounded by people that don't believe what I believe...

[spongemonkey]: ARGG!!!! I wish I had a decent tarrot deck. *snuffles*

[eyes of frost]: *gets up and looks for some rafters to sit on then finds one and jumps to it still watching everyone*

[moira hawthorne]: I got 3 at lest.....2 I dont like....One was given to me by my teacher...and One was...well I thought the box looked cool and it was celtic but once I saw the cards I didnt like it so much....

[spongemonkey]: lucky, I dont have a deck, I herd that playing cards were based off of tarrot, so I did some research, and now I use a bycycle deck of playing cards, it works, but not as well,

[Master Wolf]: bicycle cards don't have the major arcana, for one thing. Also, Tarot decks should be as personal as possible. Preferably, you should make your own. I'm in the prossess of making my own set of runes right now, as I can't draw.

[Chynadoll]: i wish i had the time or ability to make my own tarot!! lol but alas u_u i have a universail waite deck

[spongemonkey]: yeah, thats what I've been working on, but theyre not complete, not all of them are drawn and I'm still missing my minor arcania.

[SAHS]: I have a deck of 22 cards, but obviously it's not a complete one. I intend to make my own as soon as I get my book back to do some research...

[spongemonkey]: :/ yeah.

[Nere]: I think brought cards can work just as well... as long as they're clensed and impowered with your personal purpose and energies...

[Delladreing]: This is my msn group http://groups.msn.com/TheWhiteWitchesWoods please feel free to come and have a look at it. my name on it is The_Silver_Joy

[Fuu]: Alright, I think I will. Thanks Delandreing

[Our Lady of Sorrow]: i dont use the cards but o well

[spongemonkey]: mmmm.. to bad. they can be handy sometimes.

[Fireblade K'Chona]: I'm not that good at tarot...but I need a decent deck...

[Our Lady of Sorrow]: ive no talent for the magick at all...

[spongemonkey]: awww, 8huggles* all you need is practise!!

[Our Lady of Sorrow]: i don't have a drop of magick in me. but o well, i still follow the goddess and the god and their many forms

[spongemonkey]: dats good.

[Delladreing]: come see my new wiki Playgans its kinda my little rant about people who cliam to be pagan but are so not. fluffybunnies i think is their name. but i like Playgan! ^.^

[The Stray]: Don't forget the people who believe they are druids because they play too much ever quest or one of those mind rotting video games...

[Delladreing]: oh yea they wont be left out of my wiki dont worry

[Azuri]: i like your wiki...its a good thing as i am also tired of the fakes...grr at them

[Delladreing]: glad you like it...it started out more as a rant in my diary but then i ran out of space lol wen i rant i rant BIG lol

[Azuri]: hehehe yea rants are good:D

[Delladreing]: well it was my ultimate pet hate...im actually a relatively calm and rational person but i just had enough of them all....ask them a question that they cant answer and the next thing that comes out their lips is "im gonna put a hex on you"....riiighhttt like im so afraid of teeny boppers in ridiculous clothes and a mild case of paranoia and low self asteem

[The Stray]: oh yes... and the video game people who don't know leaf,branch,trunk,root,tree... rather they call themselves lvl # druids... then they continue saying that they can teleport though trees.......

[Delladreing]: *rolls eyes* now that is going on the wiki...hmm im gonna run out of space arent i? lol

[Azuri]: yea i know unfortunatly for me there are alot fakes like that round where i live..Oo there are people like that [The Stray]???....kinda scary..

[Delladreing]: well its the same here...fakes as far as the eye can see...i dont go around broadcasting my faith but for some reason im known as the "witch whos a bitch" just cause i will tell the fakes to their faces they dont know anything they are on about when they try to talk to me...what do you mean people like [The Stray]? ive never spoken to them

[The Stray]: I wonder what it would be like to teleport through a tree... i guess it would be quite exciting... especially if the tree heldd bitter feelings towards humans because of those (pardon my language) dumbfucks

[Azuri]: oh no i was commenting on what he said ya know the crazy duid video game peopl

[Azuri]: oh no i was commenting on what he said ya know the crazy duid video game people

[Nere]: When the Blue Moon occurs it is an ideal time to do something you have never done before, something that will challenge your traditional comfort zones. Do something to honour the feminine divine that moon energy empowers.

[Nere]: Blue Moon....(http://groups.msn.com/pagansdownunder/general.msnw?action=get_message&amp;mview=0&amp;ID_Message=5077&LastModified=4675482162757307609&amp;all_topics=1)

[Nere]: When the Blue Moon occurs it is an ideal time to do something you have never done before, something that will challenge your traditional comfort zones. Do something to honour the feminine divine that moon energy empowers. This particular blue moon is a pisces moon and its a time to withdraw your energies from the surface of life, hibernate within, secretly reorganizing and realigning.

[Nere]: ....It also falls at Seedfest (Imbolc) and with all these aspects coming into play I would think this is a perfect time to "realign yourself and start organising" those things which you want to come to fruition as we approach Summer Soltice. Spend some time leading up to this blue moon exploring a challenge you want to face over the coming months and 'sow the seeds' that will bear fruit as the wheel turns.

[spongemonkey]: maybe I'll start preping for me seeker thingy...

[Fireblade K'Chona]: Hmm. Sounds cool.

[Our Lady of Sorrow]: umm... summer solstis is long past or long til

[Nere]: not for aussies.... I got that from pagans downunder..:P

[spongemonkey]: um, here it just past a couple of days ago.`

[Nere]: it was last night/ the night before down here.

[Nere]: so...... has anybody read the song I put up about Loki?

[Delladreing]: i did ^.^

[moira hawthorne]: O and Happy Lughnasadh!!! it was yesterday... for us up here on the top of the world

[moira hawthorne]: Wais Hail! WoooT! Thats a reat song to Loki! ... I love Loki! he is always getting the bum wrap! and yet he was the God that breathed life into Humans! otherwise we'd just be so much giant's sweat and grease... He is also the God of the Hearth Fire and God of Hospitality and Entertaining! and I named my funfun dog after him see [loki wilhelm]

[Fireblade K'Chona]: Melikes the Loki son! Muahaha!

[Fireblade K'Chona]: Oh, and I have two questions. Number one: Can anyone tell me about the technique called "aspecting"? And two: How do you know your patron god/dess from other gods/desses?

[BarleySinger]: Yes I did. Rather nice. Not too "low key" (boo). Now (with the Norse theme) I am going to have to put up my "Song of the Valkyrie"...OK , it there...up on the section for "poems"...ne of these days I have got to get the rest of my stuff recorded.

[Nere]: ASPECT:One of the forms or faces of a god or goddess; One of the manifestations of a human being; The position of a body in the solar system with respect to the sun.

[Nere]: ASPECT WORK, ASPECTING: The ritual to summon or invite a non-material force or entity of a higher order of being than oneself (usually an aspect of the Goddess or the God). Examples include the ritual of Drawing Down the Moon and the Voudoun practice of the deity speaking through a priest or priestesses body. This practice is more commonly known as Invocation. Also known as Calling Down, Drawing Down. OR Advanced magickal work based on the premise that time is not linear and the practitioner can move into other "aspects" of self including, past, present (parallel) and future lives. Most commonly done in pairs with the partner acting as recorder and ground to ....

[Nere]: assist the practitioner to return. The ideal conscious state achieved in aspecting is anamnesis.

[Nere]: The new!!! Pagan Dictionary... be warned though... I haven't got it all up and running yet.... :P

[Fireblade K'Chona]: Hmm. Very interesting. Thank you, Nere! What about my second question?

[spongemonkey]: yesh nerey? what about it?

[Nere]: hmmmm.... I will get on to it.... :P but it might take a few days... I have tons of work.... and to top it all of my Bird died for no obvious reason the other day and i'm totally wiped... :(

[Nymph_Goddess]: i don't live in america but i certainly agree george bush is turning our australian prime minister into a war hungry freak

[Erutan]: ..... it is nuts... I heat politics ingeneral... but I had to put that out there...

[Nymph_Goddess]: very true

[Nere]: Lil' Johnny... aw come on!.... Didn't you hear... his eyebrows did it.... he knew nothing about it, he wasn't aware.

[Nymph_Goddess]: pfft he lies left right and centre to our country i can't beleive he got voted back in his a dickhead

[Erutan]: lol

[Nymph_Goddess]: sorry to the people who think his good but u all need to wake up and vote for a different wanker

[Nere]: I was being sarcastic.... but you shouldn't be so suprised... people are happy the economy is in good shape and that 60 billion of our 80 billion dollar international debt has been paid off... not to mention that wealthy people like that their private schools are getting superior funding whilst our humble little public schools ar descending into decreptitude... and who cares about the emergency room build ups and the destruction of our precious old growth forests? certainly not our good ol' Johnny... he's to busy trying to get himself adopted by the american president, whilst the australian way of life is auctioned off, piece by piece to any large international corporation that will have it

[Erutan]: Finaly a place where I am not going to blow up....

[Nymph_Goddess]: i know i hate how it ooopps slipped and pressed enter anyway i was about to say i hate how our country is being run

[Nere]: eh.... don't look at me man.... I voted for the Greens....

[Nymph_Goddess]: i didn't vote at all i didn't like anyone

[Nere]: Well.... I kinda would've like to see how Lathem handled it..... as long as he didn't screw up the economy (because it is in a good way) he could'nt have been any worse than Johnny....

[Nymph_Goddess]: spose i think at the moment alot of countries are haing problems with people in the governement

[Erutan]: TO all of those whom I have spoken to... and to all of those here... if you live in the USA. and are of age to vote... Please!!! Look at this web sight and read all that you can... and be smart about things... this is Created by and run by a neutral party, not the republicans and not the democrats…. They are a neutral party that only intend to inform you of what is going on in your government… PLEASE!!!! Inform yourself before you vote!…..

[Fireblade K'Chona]: I can't vote. Too young. Sorry.

[Erutan]: oh... please do not appologise.... you can still take a look at the information and follow it so that way there when it is time that you can vote you will have the knowledge to do so... ^_^

[Fireblade K'Chona]: Of course.

[Erutan]: oh... and the sight is www.aclu.org

[eyes of frost]: ...-yawns- I haven't been here in a while. How is everyone?

[Erutan]: I am well and how are you?

[eyes of frost]: I am good. Except I swear my water hates me...I try talking to it, and getting some answers...and it tries to attack me! -grumbles- I have only been practicing for a yea or so...but...it shouldnt be attacking me.

[Erutan]: ?? your water? what are you doing?

[eyes of frost]: My water bowel...I talk to my water, and sometimes it answers...I have been practicing magic for about a year...

[Erutan]: Oh... I get it now... you just confused me when all you said was your water.. lol.... The thing with scrying bowels... or water bowels is that you normally do not think with them.... you ask the question yes... or you meditate in front of it asking that the knowledge that you need come to you... if you are always asking the same things.... then some times the spirits get tempermental...

[eyes of frost]: I am not always asking the same things. My water just hates me...same with the fire light on the candles...it tries to burn my hair...I swear someone up there is working against me...and even then, I just talk to them...Normally they don't say anything about it. They just listen and give me the best advice...or the advice that works...I think they are pmsing or something...

[Erutan]: lol... or there is a deeper meaning to it then you think.... I would suggest that you look into Fire and Water aspects and Correspondences.... there may just be something there that you might find to help...

[eyes of frost]: Maybe...but I still think they aer pmsing...

[Erutan]: lol.... you never know i guess... lol
