It appears as if Athena, Goddess of wisdom among other things, granted me her grace a couple of weeks ago. I am in Psychology and when the third test came around, I knew it would be hard. There was so much confusing information that no matter how many times I read it, I just could not remember it. Not to say that studying did not do any good, but when I went in for the test, I did not know around 60 to 70% of the questions, and I knew that I needed atleast a B to keep my average grade which seemed like a far fetched hope for me at that point. So I prayed and asked Athena for her wisdom, my exact words were, "Athena give me wisdom."
On most of the test, I gave my best guess, and thought that a high D would be generous to me. However, much to my surprise, I made a high B. An A would've been better, of course, but I thank Athena for the wisdom that gave me the ability to keep my grade high. I would have never expected to make such a grade coming out of the test. Thank you, Athena.

SEX at Beltane!
Hey, guys,
Beltane is almost here and I've seen Wiccans and Pagans make videos and discussions on the sexuality of the time which is the key to fertility and life. Sex symbolizes the rebirth of life. Sex is sacred to us, I think that's where we differ from religions like Christianity. They practically fear it and we hold it as sacred and the building block of love and life on Earth. I now have an understanding as to why our society is so afraid and ashamed of sex, which is ridiculous. The Bible teachings still have a strong-hold on the minds of many people, but that number is becoming fewer and fewer as we discover that to want things like sex does not mean you are evil or filthy, but just that you are human and you enjoy sex. God said to do great things and have sex anyway.
To say that you don't want sex, would not have sex and do not think about sex, would be to say that you are not a human being, which is ridiculous. No amount of words in a book will change that. Sex is anything but wrong as long as it happpens between two consenting adults. As a friend of mine once said, "Sex feels too good to be bad." We were put here to enjoy and love life and eachother, so take advantage of that. I think that one of the biggest problems and downfalls of our society is that society practically teaches people to be ashamed of being human. I think that sex also symbolizes freedom. Be free and tend to your sexual desires, love eachother. Show people that they don't have to be afraid of being human, that they don't have to live in misery just because a book said so.
Sex is also a critical bond in relationships. I have had several since graduating high school, they all ended but one was unique. All of my other relationships had good and even great amounts of sex, and when the relationships ended there was crying and pain. But in my unique relationship where there was no sex because we didn't have time to spend together, the bond just faded away into nothing. We cared for eachother, but there was no pain, tears, hatred or anger at the end, it was like it had never even existed. We had no sex life, and the effect was that our relationship ceased to exist as if it had never been there. I remember all of my other girlfriends, but not her. A good sex life is essential. Oxytocin and Basopressin are brain chemicals released during sex that creates a bond between the two of you. To me, Sex is very scared. It's an exciting and beautiful thing you share with someone you're drawn to, and you'll never forget it.
Feel free to comment.
Blessed Be.

How Do You See The Horned God?
So many people have confused the horned God, or Pan, the peaceful nature God, with Satan. Although I do not work with Pan at this time, that's not to say that I won't. Many people don't realize that the Christians took him from the Pagan culture before them and made him into Satan as an enemy for their God and mankind. But in reality, Pan came down to Arcadia to help people, an aid to mankind, after Zeus banned him from Olympus for being annoying. But Pan never started a war with Zeus, or God as he would be known today, Zeus was actually annoyed by Pan's flute and made him leave heaven. This is where the Christians got their Satan concept and made it into their own story. Pan or the Horned God has never been evil or an enemy of mankind in history.
I see Pan as an awesome nature God. How do you see him? What and who is he to you? Have you had any magickal experiences, workings and/or successful relationships with Pan? Please feel free to tell your story. Of all the beautiful, magickal and enchanting spirits in nature, I am sure the Wiccan tales are endless.
Also, many people see the God and Goddess as part of our own spirits. It is not only a Christian concept that the spirit of God is in us all, it's also Pagan and Wiccan. Do you think that the divine dwells within us all? I believe that the spirits and magick of the God and Goddess shines in us. Be sure to include what you think.
Blessed Be.

Paranormal Investigations
Hi, Guys,
So sorry that I haven't posted any new topics lately, but I haven't been getting many people to comment. Hopefully this one will. I have always said, "Never send a whimp to do a Witch's job. In other words, never hire a paranormal investigator." I mean, what's the use in going in search of something only to run once you find it? Witch's never run, Wiccans never run, we are not scared of anything. So, in this discussion, I want you guys to tell me about any paranormal experiences you have had and what you did. This can include anything paranormal or supernatural, like ghosts, demons, even mothman if you've encountered him. I really hope that you guys will post to this discussion much better than the last few. Please help me keep the blog going through your support with comments and discussions.
Thanks.
Blessed Be.

Candle Magick
I know mostly every Wiccan has done some form of candle magick, so I want you guys to tell me about yours, the one you enjoyed the most. Tell of your success or failure in it. I have been kind of sad that I haven't been getting a response from all of my followers on my posts, and so I figured that I would post a discussion that mostly every Wiccan has done. So come tell me about your candle magick, what you use it for, how effective it is, were there any paranormal or magickal experiences? Etc.
I look forward to hearing from all of you.
Blessed Be.
Christopher.

Tarot Readings
Hey, guys,
Yesterday, I bought my first deck of Tarot cards, The Golden Tarot. It appears as though I have some natural talent already. Last night, I told my grandmother about her past, a time that she did not tell me about and was before I was even born. I do have some psychic abilities, and the Tarot appears to enchance them. I have a new-found love for this field of magick and prophecy. I want you guys to tell me about your times with Tarot cards, if the predictions came true, and if they were ever wrong any other time.
Blessed Be.

Let's Talk about MAGICK!!!
Hey, everyone. I know I've been a bit off topic in terms of the purpose of my blog lately, and I apologize for that. I am pleased and grateful for all of the followers and supporters I have. This post will have three topics, you can comment on either one you want, or all of them if you wish. I also wish to know if you guys are recieveing notifications when I post a new topic, so please tell me in your comment.
The first topic is on inner magick. What I mean is how do you feel day-to-day inside? Are you like me and can feel the magick stirring inside you, just waiting to accomplish something great? Tell about it. Do you use magick in your everyday life? If so, tell of your success with it.
Second topic, have you ever seen supernatural things about people that are usually not seen, such as auras? Do you have times like me when you dream things that come true and have natural instincts that tell you when and how something will happen and then it does? Do you think we are psychic?
Do any of you know about any past lives you may have had? I can always feel as if I use to be someone else. Someone great, but I cannot place my finger on it yet. But I would love to hear what any of you may have to say.
Blessed Be.
Courage and Honor.
