Welcome
Becoming a witch is a choice. It may have been a family legacy in the ancient history but because of circumstances, the legacy has stopped and so nowadays, the practice of witchcraft is a result of great respect for Mother Nature.

Too supplicating the goddess for the bestowal of favours, her worshippers anyway do magic tricks her for rowdy and sometimes uncontrolled utilization in opposition to demons, terrors and disasters. This contributed to the increase of a group of fierce-looking female deities.
Later than female deities became deeply unattached they responded to the nothing out of the ordinary services in Indian religion to get tangled on swing forms. They were ready the vehicle for the integration of non-Hindu mythology and practices in the especially way as their male counterparts. Specific goddesses take strong maternal natures, some are birthplace and covetously acknowledged with male deities, some are the very embodiment of art and culture, some are linked with the pleasure-seeking natural environs of the populace and display are anyway the ones who take strong unattached natures and are earsplitting warriors. The back number of goddesses in stream Hinduism lone is innocently deep. Sideways from the infinite neighborhood goddesses display are anyway the native goddesses linked with clear-cut regions. Specific of the profound groups of goddesses are the Nava-Durgas, the Sapta Matrikas and the Ten Mahavidyas.

One of the problems with some of the presentation of the Goddess tradition in the west, is that the Devi seems to be used to empower "concepts" of femininity (rather then the true power inherent). This means that there is an empowerment of identity. We do not begrudge self improvement, confidence building, and self empowerment from females, but one is missing a whole level of power and liberation if the "interaction" remains on these limited terms. I hardly ever use one type of writing approach that is seen elsewhere, whereby one says/describes what a Deity "means" or what that energy is expressing. For one, this type of discussion tends to "un-real" that particular presence and make it into a logically explained (and human centric) archetype. Moreover, to conceptualize some energy tends to limit the expression or what one is "willing" to accept. All this is to say, that the female should allow the Goddess to empower the Goddess (in/AS the female sadhak), rather then seeking some individuated (Gender conceptualized/limiting) empowerment. One who proceeds letting experience inform the conception does not limit themselves.
Tantra allows for the energies of both males and females to be used and expressed. There is some confusion regarding "masculine energy" because the word is largely an oxymoron. Energy is Shakti (the feminine principle), so it is really only the energy "filter" that differentiates. It seems that females sometimes are turned away from the Tantric path because they may see it expressed by a male and assume that it is involves a lot of "masculine energy" (bravado, rough, aggressive etc.). What is often not realized, is that the same principles that "allow" these qualities to be utilized by male sadhaks would be the principles that "allow" for the feminine qualities to be utilized. Therefore, male presentation/expression is in no way a "model" for how the path will be or be expressed for a female sadhak. Indeed, any form of expressing is not a model for any potential sadhak regardless of gender.
Within India, very few females will identify as a Tantric. There is some stigma attached to the path for males and this is intensified for females. Many females that I've met who are intimately involved in Tantra will not identify with the word. Many will use the guise of a Bhakta, while others will present as a bhor (female who get "possessed" by the Goddess). Within the west countries there is also some concern from females because of certain aspects of the path. Woman are not concerned with any stigma, but are concerned that they would be required to be involved in rituals/situations that they would find uncomfortable. It should be made absolutely clear that female sadhaks are NEVER required (pressured etc.) to engage in any way that they do not want. Also, it should be noted that a female is fully capable of being a Tantric sadhak without being a Bhairavi/Shakti (engaged with a male Tantric). Being a female tantric and being a Bhairavi are different things. Female Tantrics who engage with males do so as choice and are not required to do so (either by other or the dictates of the path). It is not a requirement that males or females do rituals with the other sex, and many sadhaks proceed without those type of rituals. Until one can properly internalize the mudra of union within, any ritual action of union will lack the intent and power anyway.
Men and Women both have the qualities of Shiva and Shakti within, and it is only the predominance of the aspect which differs. The sadhak should reach an inner accord (union) with the principles. The "art" of Tantra is to create the proper union of these resonant aspects. Much like an guitar, the union is the "string" in proper note, the subtle "adjustment" of "too loose" and "too tight" is the creation of the embodied expression of this mudra. There are several mudras contained within the union. One can "BE" Shakti united with Shiva, Shiva united with Shakti, or the union as ONE whole. One shouldn't be limited by physical gender as it applies to these "postures". Shakti is the perspective of Energy, while Shiva represents the undifferentiated Awareness. The meditative view of liberated Shakti states "I am ALL" and the liberated view of Shiva states "I am untouched and none of it". Realizing these views (tacitly) at the same time is a thing of profound beauty.
Relationship between a man and woman on the path can be a great support. The partner serves as a source of power and inspiration, and a great mutual "gift" is given/received. The "strengths" of each partner are empowered, while the "weaknesses"/afflictions are tempered (or a "weakness" is empowered). A couple sitting together in the Tantric work is a powerful and radically profound kriya. Relationship should always serve the people in relation or else it leads to bitterness. A woman should give energy and power to a man, and a man should give awareness and clarity to the woman. These are the mutual gifts of the relation (in spirit). In popular culture (maybe based on facts of our times), relationship is portrayed as the opposite of this. The man gets disempowered by the woman and becomes timid and weak (looses confidence). While the woman becomes dissatisfied, frantic and aimless (i.e. doesn't gain the peace or "solidness" of awareness). In both cases the partner is portrayed as bitter (which is the truth of such interaction). In a good relation, the aforementioned (end previous paragraph) liberated perspectives can be shared and assimilated in the enlightened relationship. The sadhaks can help each other grow, and while the relation helps realize a "completeness", it becomes a "completeness" that is recognized in ONE. (This means that there is not a dependency of this type of realization, as the perspective becomes whole in each partner.)
In true relation, the partner see's the divine quality in the other. The female see's Shiva in the male, and the male she's Shakti in the female. For Tantrics, this becomes an actuality (via sadhana and will) and the life is it's divine expression. Just to have somebody "view" you in divine (i.e. True) terms can have a great impact on how one perceives oneself. If you doubt this, then please observe how you feel after being with people who don't have a good view of you (or a unwavering view that is not in accord with you) vs. being with those who have a good opinion (or enlightened "opinion"). If one is manifesting a principle and "another" awareness profoundly acknowledges that principle, then the "view" solidifies quickly. Sadhaks may take the divine view to embodied conclusions and perform the puja of the Devata on/to the partner.
Tantric Gurus enjoy working with females because they are easier to move and more supple. While females can be moved, the challenge is getting them solid/grounded in "where" they are moved. If they don't come solid, then they become "space cadets" and the divine energy lack direction/control. Males have a giant wall which is named "PRIDE", which the teacher has to navigate around. The challenge often for males is for them to "open" and release the grip dictated by self importance. Each gender can be generalized to have a major challenge, and for men it is pride and for women it is pettiness. (Of course, men can be petty and women prideful). These challenges when liberated become the strength of each, as the challenges are presented from the perspective of Shiva and Shakti. The Shakti is engaged with manifestation (IS manifestation), so females tend to be more engaged. When there is ignorance present, then this can lead to pettiness. The view of Shiva is untouched by manifestation (detached), but when there is ignorance present, the view can lead to arrogance and self importance. When the view of Shakti is liberated (i.e. the afflicted ignorant view is seen through), the the view IS the manifest quality (rather then closely engaging with it) and the expression can be nothing but Oneness, unconditional love and compassion. When the view of Shiva is liberated, the view becomes "Divine Pride" which in truly untouched and see's everything in this great Awareness.
Overall, the Tantric path is optimistic when regarding any attachment or energy pattern. This is because it is all regarded just as energy (or potentially liberated energy). We (in our ignorance and attachment) place the "story" on the energy. The path doesn't ask people to become "other" then what they are (in "real" terms), and the liberated energy (no matter how it's defined) becomes the fuel on the path. In many paths, one is often told to do works which aim to temper the predominant "traits", so one works in the direction opposite their energy patterns. This is a safe route and produces rounded people. In the Vira Tantric approach, one tends to go directly into the main traits and energy patterns and transmutes them.
Contained within the male in the prominent white bindu, and within the female is the red bindu. May these seeds mix, unite, and rise in great bliss and freedom. You are Shiva and Shakti. You are beyond male or female. You are a male or female. Isn't it wonderful!
Jai Ma!

JANUARY 20
READING: This Saint, who was from Melitene in Armenia, was the son of heartfelt parents named Paul and Dionysia. He was innate about 377. Seeing that his mother had been fruitless, he was named Euthymios-which form "good joyfulness" or "joy"-for this is what his parents sentient at his initiation. He contrived under Eutroius, the Bishop of Melitene, by whom he was bound and entrusted with the attention of the monasteries of Melitene. Subsequently, at what time he had come to Palestine about the meeting 406, he became the front of a throng of monks. Through him, a mammoth zip of Arabs was turned to devoutness, taking into account he healed the sick son of their front Aspebetos. Aspebetos was baptized with all his people; he took the Christian name of Peter, and was unconventional holy Bishop for his zip, seeing that called "Bishop of the Tents." Saint Euthymios as well as fought wary the Nestorians, Eutychians, and Manichaeans. Like Eudocia, the widow of Saint Theodosius the Younger, had ended her high-rise in Palestine, and had fallen concerning the heresy of the Monophysites which was championed in Palestine by a definite Theodosius, she sent envoys to Saint Symeon the Stylite in Syria (see Sept. 1), asking him his conjecture of Eutyches and the Congregation of Chalcedon which had condemned him; Saint Symeon, civil the purity and Orthodoxy of Saint Euthymios adjoining whom she dwelt, sent her to him to be delivered from her fallacy (the holy Empress Eudocia is commemorated Aug. 13). He became the divine astrologer of the Cathedral, or if at all possible, "the tube of divine squeak," as a definite historian writes. He was the instructor and bigger of Saint Sabbas the Sanctified. Having lived for ninety-six existence, he reposed in 473, on January 20.APOLYTIKION IN THE FOURTH Bring into line Be over the moon, O fruitless one, that hast not firm birth; be of good joyfulness, thou that hast not travailed; for a man of wishes hath multiplied thy children of the Central part, having planted them in devoutness and reared them in continence to the progress of the qualities. By his prayers, O Christ our God, make our life placid.
KONTAKION IN THE PLAGAL OF THE FOURTH Bring into line Inauguration found door and joy in thine regal nativity and the good joyfulness of thy indescribable miracles on thy divine memorial. Now assign ther abundantly on our souls and disaster clean the stains of our every sin, Euthymios greatest aristocratic, that we may chant: Alleluia!

1. The logical tribulation. Analyze exists. But the individual of any tribulation at all is comprehensibly unpredictable with that of such a God. As a result that God does not keep going.
2. The evidential tribulation. The acquit cut of tribulation is powerful proof v the individual of an gigantic all-good God.
Problem 1 is not very much of a tribulation doubtless. It would do to chew on that some tribulation is the indict that comprehensibly condition be lucrative for a arrogant good, e.g. free impulse.
Problem 2 is the BIG tribulation. Unluckily, some shut in that by showing an gigantic all-good God would put some tribulation in the world for a arrogant good, that deals with tribulation 2. But of course, it doesn't. While needs explaining is not the individual of some tribulation, but the acquit cut - millions of being of unimaginable animal tribulation etc. etc.
In his existing blog responding to this blog, Decorate Vernon suggests, re. the acquit cut of tribulation here is in the world, that
good reasons for this give birth to of affairs can be found in any intro to religion.
I shut in these "good reasons" are despondently some degree of. As do top figure atheists. And even quite a few theists. For a tie of my uncertainties see my The God of Eth.
But Vernon to boot says this:
I shut in that top figure believers would say that the tribulation of evil - which at what time all is no matter which all and sundry faces in some form or other whether they hold tight in God or not - is the suit they hold tight in God, not a suit for not act out so: at most minuscule they connect faith that good impulse in recent times come to, in spitefulness of all the proof to the contrary!
The tribulation of evil is "no matter which all and sundry faces... whether they hold tight in God or not"? Really? Vernon has acquaint with switched problem in fact, to that of how, pyschologically, to deal with tribulation. Yes, that is a tribulation for all and sundry. How do we cope? But that is not the tribulation we are discussing acquaint with. Which is how on earth can we bind that it is trade fair (or even not excessive) to hold tight in an gigantic all-good God in the envelop of such apparently boiling proof to the contrary?
One way of coping psychologically is of course to hold tight in God. That's a "suit" to hold tight, doubtless. But not the classify we are at what time. We are at what time the type of "reasons" that make a belief better-quality workable to be true.
In arrears all, it possibly will help me manage with my stream efficient daydream if I understood I was leave-taking to win the sweepstake later than week. But even as it possibly will help me psychologically manage now, this "suit to hold tight" doesn't hand down me the slightest suit to hope it's true that I'll win. In fact, it very certainly isn't true.

Altares sencillos, graciosos, humildes o al dynamism son la expresi'on de la fe que profesamos los seguidores de la Luz, y como seguro t'u tambi'en eres amante de lo eterno, comparto contigo esta creencia.
Tengo una costumbre que a todo el mundo le aconsejo; mantengo una vela encendida cada semana en mi altar. La enciendo los Domingos, d'ia de la Estrella Concrete de nuestro Sistema Solar y la dedico a la Eterna Diosa.
Esto lo hago por fe y devoci'on, pues creo en la Divinidad Eterna, en la Presencia de una Madre y un Padre Eternos que vela sin cesar por la existencia. S'i, lo hago por fe, y al hacerlo me siento satisfecho con mis creencias.
?No has notado que tu fe te pide hacer ciertas cosas, que son s'imples pero llenas de sentido para ti?. Pues esto es lo mismo. Los paganos en realidad no somos tan distintos de la gente. Tenemos fe en lo supremo, en lo eterno, y como seres sensibles que somos, deseamos mantenernos en contacto con lo supremo.
Adem'as de las devociones, ritos, festivales sagrados, etc, hago una devoci'on semanal que me deja satisfecho. ?C'omo lo hago?. Es f'acil ver'as. En first coat lugar busco un vel'on que dure aproximadamente una semana. Los que venden en las tiendas multiprecio pueden servir perfectamente, son baratos y est'an hechos de parafina. Yo les quito la funda de pl'astico, pues no me gusta el olor que dejan cuando la llama quema mal. 'Ese olor a pl'astico me recuerda a una energ'ia pasada de vueltas y enrarece el ambiente. Por eso se la quito.
La pongo en un posa-velas de metal o en una cazuela de barro. Procuro que est'e segura, pues no quiero que se me queme la casa. Luego la unto con el Aceite Santo y la bendigo con una oraci'on human being. Cuando ya est'a lista, tomo una cerilla y la prendo. Una vez encendida trazo con la cerilla encendida el Pentagrama de Bendici'on y as'i queda bendecida.
Rezo una devoci'on b'asica a la Diosa Madre y la dejo arder todo el d'ia.
Si alguna vez abandono la casa durante mucho tiempo la apago sin soplar. No quiero volver a casa y encontrarme con la sorpresa de que mi altar se ha prendido o la habitaci'on est'a llena de humo por causa de la vela. Aunque mi altar y mi fe son esenciales en mi vida, mi casa tambi'en lo es, y s'e que a la Diosa no le gusta que descuide estos detalles.
Teniendo las precauciones adecuadas con el uso de las velas en la devoci'on, el resultado es muy gratificante. ?No lo notas?. Encender una vela a la Madre Eterna, apagar las velas y ver la imagen iluminada por la vela que t'u le has ofrecido es una aut'entica gozada. La sensaci'on es de conexi'on, trascendencia, espiritualidad, amor, belleza y paz.
Cuando se apaga la vela por su natural, renuevo la vela. Normalmente un vel'on me dura de 3 a 5 d'ias (dependiendo del tama~no) y hacer esto una vez a la semana veo que me va bien. Hace que me mantenga en contacto con la Llama Sagrada de la Vida, con la Diosa y con la Presencia Insondable del Esp'iritu. La sensaci'on es de darle alimento a mi alma, de atender sus necesidades, y esto para m'i es tan importante como atender mi cuerpo.
Si buscas en los libros Wiccanos puedes encontrar oraciones ya creadas para bendecir velas, pero si no te gustan las que encuentras puedes crearlas t'u mismo. Tambi'en puedes crear oraciones devotas para rezar diariamente a la Diosa. Y si lo prefieres, tambi'en puedes improvisar y decir lo que te salga del coraz'on.
La espiritualidad no tiene l'imites. Se trata de darle salida a lo que te pide el coraz'on, y la clave para saber si est'a bien es que te deje satisfecho, en paz, alegre y con la sensaci'on de que est'as haciendo lo correcto.
?No te sientes satisfecho con las devociones diarias?. Int'entalo....!. Si tienes fe en algo unassailable seguro que te sientes bien al conectarte. A m'i personalmente me encanta dise~nar oraciones y rezos dedicados a la Diosa, al Dios y al Gran Esp'iritu. No lo puedo evitar, es algo que mi fe me pide a todas horas, pues la pr'actica del rezo y de la devoci'on siempre me atraen.
Es por la sensaci'on de conexi'on. Cuanto m'as conectado est'as a lo Espiritual, mejor me siento, y por eso estar'ia rezando a todas horas. Es verdad que si buscas en el mercado libros de oraciones paganas, no hay mucho donde escoger, pero para eso est'a la creatividad.
?Tienes alguna devoci'on personal?Alguna que hagas cada d'ia?Alguna que reces cada semana?Te importar'ia cont'armelo?.
Sabio y Bendito Seas
