Its very interesting how people celebrate Halloween following various traditions without even the spark of curiosity as to how such traditions were formed and those who claim to know the origins of Halloween are usually brainwashed by evangelistic ideals. Why is this important? Well, Halloween originated from the Celtic holiday Samhain. Samhain was the most significant holiday of the year to the Celts as it is considered a time where the veil between our world and the spirit realm is thinnest allowing for more psychic and paranormal activity that any other day. It is also the time where the souls of those who have died in the past year travel to the otherworld. Its perhaps the most ideal time to perform rituals and spells which involve

As pagans, one of the most important things to our religion is our gods and goddesses. We worship them using elaborate rituals and we seek guidance from them in our day to day lives, but just who, or what, are the gods and goddesses we pray to? Are they actual intelligent beings or are they mere symbols of forces of nature? Well, to find this out, we must track our steps back as far as prehistory to find the answer. One of the most important parts of spellcraft is the intensity of the mystical energies created during the ritual. During a ritual, the caster of the spell charges the nearby energies with his/her intentions and once the energies are built up, they are then released into the world to do their work. A good analogy is a beer mug. A beer mug starts out empty but after you fill it with beer, it gets you drunk. The more empty mugs you have, the more beer you can drink. The more beer you drink, the more drunk you get. Well that's basically what you do with energy. The more raw energy is in your circle, the more energy you can "fill" with intentions, the more "intention-filled" energy you have, the more powerful the spell. Thus, it is very important for your altar space to have high vibrations and energies. Now there are a lot of high tech new age gadgets to enhance the energies around a space however, they tend to be very expensive. The manufacturers probably figure that there's no competition and that their target audience will buy anything that they offer. Well FUCK THEM! I'm gonna show you how to enhance your altar energies for less than $20. Hey everybody! I'm sorry I didn't post the video diaries for my fasting days 3 and 4. My internet was down and I couldn't upload anything. Anyways, let me state how I felt on those days so that you will know what it is truly like to fast.
One practice that seems to be in every world religion is fasting, the practicing of abstaining from eating for spiritual purposes. In Hinduism, people fast according to the moon, in Judaism, people fast on certain holidays, in Christianity, people fast without any specific occasions. Regardless of your beliefs, one cannot deny the spiritual significance of fasting, never mind the health benefits! Fasting has many benefits including rejuvenating the body, strengthening the mind and building spiritual awareness. Well, we can read about the signification and all the wonderful studies and articles left and right but why take the word from somebody who just copied the results from somebody else's experience when you could take the word from somebody who has actually fasted himself. Well being the passionate blogger I am (sarcastic grin), I decided to fast for as long as I can. My goal is to fast for at least three days and if I still have motivation after that, I will continue to fast until I give into temptation. I will also try to post a video and a diary to this website daily telling you of all my struggles and acomplishments and how I feel. Throughout history, Christians have been at war with the world. They think they are spreading the word and helping you get to heaven but If that is the truth, why have they committed mass genocides on "heathen" civilizations in history? One Incidence is Christopher Columbus. When he saw that the mayans, aztecs and other central americans were worshipping their own gods, he never tried to spread christianity and "save their souls," instead he started one of the biggest genocides in history and just about wiped out their whole civilization! Also in the witch trials, they never tried to convert the witches into christianity but they just tortured and executed them! So even though they might not go back to genocides and executions, If we don't become more assertive and make them know that they cant make everybody a christian and that they just have to learn to live at peace with the world instead of killing anyone who they dont agree with. Dont change just because they want you to change. stay strong! blessed be!
