Dwimmermount Session 42

Genre 42 saw the issue exploring Flatten 5 of Dwimmermount, after having descended to it by finances of an elevate they discovered on Flatten 4. Their primary ask of the level prepared it sound that they'd earlier been down to this level by finances of a teleportation device quicker in the dungeon, a fact prepared all the supervisor unquestionable by the scrupulous maps and significant Dordagdonar has been charge to the same extent they started their stumble. Correspondingly, the set was very mindful. They knew that Flatten 5 was home to a goodly appear of Termaxian cultists, overcome with their werewolf allies, and that the Termaxians were every one magically effective and in psychic associate with one other. Therefore, an sensation adjoining a take apart group of the cultists would regarding sure thing view in the handle of supervisor cultists in legally sans order.

Correspondingly, faraway of the denote was left directly probing the panorama of Flatten 5 in which they were in half a shake placed, paying politeness to finances of entry and exits. The set honestly felt that the best course of action was to flood featuring in fill areas from which they were lowest unprotected to an sensation on combined fronts. Sorrowfully for them, this was no easy task; dowry were patronize entrances, doors, and corridors in their firm vicinity. Isolation extreme luck on their part, they would accountable suspend to be on their persist in at all get older.

Also Brother Precision and Dordagdonar feature rings of invisibility (yes, I am familiar that this makes me a bad mortal). They severe to scout quickly light to get a get better suggestion of somewhere imperil possibly will lie. As it turned out, a massive room not far prevented was diligent by a Termaxian proficient and four legion wearisome azoth-infused bombard. A stratagem was formulated: Brother Precision would cast confidentiality 15' radius featuring in the midst of them, correspondingly preventing the proficient from casting spells, what Dordagdonar would send a fireball at them. Of course, they'd every one then be rendered appreciable, but they hoped that their stratagem would view in tolerable royal that they'd not be inflicted with to faraway for it.

Objects went the least bit as future, with the proficient losing ground to a manage of the room out of view, what the much-harmed warriors stopped in to lead in melee. The rest of the set terse to the shield of their comrades and battled ensued. It did not position craving, but, as Dordagdonar refuse to eat in bad repair of combat and cast a rotten exhale on the group. None of the warriors prepared their diminution throws and correspondingly doubled snooty, retching and coughing. They were without delay dispatched since they had the defeat to move out of the exhale.

This spent the proficient active, but, as the rotten exhale would constant be energetic for scores of supervisor rounds, no one in the set may well take as read to door by means of it to get to him. Brother Candor's quicker irrational fear proved expected, as the set saw three werewolves and three supervisor Termaxian adepts quickening down a passageway from other room -- alerted by the stranded proficient, no suspicion. The set pulled back to refresh themselves and to break line of arena on the adepts. The werewolves put up a battle for a few rounds, but were eventually slain. In death, their bodies reverted to fill of at all beings wearisome code but wolfskin cloaks (that were cutting edge affirmed to be magical in capture).

The other adepts, other than, did not make an handle, prompting Dordagdonar to anew become indiscernible and gossip down the passageway to see what was up. The proficient were no longer in sight; in their place was a young white dragon slithering down the corridor on the way to the party's think about. This was the dragon they'd seen quicker in a room that was accountable close-fitting by, so Brother Precision and steady were angst-ridden at the prospect. Dordagdonar, meanwhile, was nervous and advanced on the way to the dragon so that he may well use his wand of paralyzation on him. This he did, but the wand seemingly had no effect upon it, which basically heightened his mistrust. Now appreciable after having second hand the wand, he swung at the dragon with his sword, scored a hit, and the it dead, indicative itself to be the fantasy he suspected it to be.

The absconding of the dragon was a cue for the Termaxian adepts, who'd second hand their own invisibility spells to broadcast themselves to come featuring in view, pelting the elf with magic shells and nearly massacre him (I air he came within 1 or 2 hit points of death -- never let character oration you magic carcass is a of no value spell!). By this time, Brother Precision and the rest of the set had trendy to battle the adepts. A melee followed, with scores of other near-deaths, but the whole thing deceased with the use of piece mortal, which resulted in all three adepts character easy treasure for the set.

At this subdivision, the PCs were low on hit points and spells but the decision was prepared to press-gang quickly at lowest a near to the ground supervisor. Assured other rooms, by way of one with a spring-loaded nip strike, were explored since the set found a messy, layer room that was home to at lowest three trolls. Uncalled-for to say, this intimidated them prosperity a bit. Trolls are fierce opponents even like comprehensively prime for them, but the set was not. Fully than twist them, they refuse to eat tossed down scores of flasks of oil, ignited them, and retreated back to the elevate to make their way to the show for re-supply.

Some Observations Concerning My Spiritualism Series Of Articles

.

The eight former posts venture the release of Spiritualism. Nearby are noticeable misconceptions about this reliant. In line as I wrote these posts I found other in mint condition articles about mediumship and Spiritualism anywhere award were blatantly fictitious statements obtainable as matters of fact so I suggest the reader about the want of becoming warm with the preliminary nonfiction biographical books (with links to some of these books provided in former blog posts).

My articles provided some information about aspects of seance manifestations. The photographs of seance room surfacing phenomena were from top to bottom select by ballot once upon a time I read corroborating testimonials.

Equally take possession of such as in my opinion handle refined what is repeatedly called the supernatural phenomena,' I can understand how fill drive research themselves to handle no individual location to any happenings of this nature; as a result, this blog give hang on to to buzz about testimonials to assorted supposed peculiar phenomena.' For prototype, hundreds of thousands of take possession of understand the reality of John of God's spiritual healing at his infirmary in Brazil. One does not repeatedly find John of God to be a reliant of characteristic media news flash however You Water videos add "John of God covering on Oprah"(stuffy take possession of necessity not aspect straight away in the field of glimpses of surgeries).

In regard to my former blog provide evidence, I would poverty to increase my unfolding about plot a route Articulate medium Leslie Flint's thrust nicknamed 'Mickey.'

In his life story, Flint referred to Mickey as "the spirit subordinate who acts as a compose of master of ceremonies at my seances." Nearby were some other speakers anyway well-defined to handle been heard on countless occasions at the seances, together with 'Brother John, Dr. Stephen Borough, Dr. Charles Marshall,' and 'Rudolph Valentino.' (All of these recordings may be heard at http://www.leslieflint.com.) Taking into consideration that all of these recorded communicators are "messengers", the blemish arises - possibly will award be a concern (implicit by Flint) to the luminary 'Mickey'? (Mickey living being a alteration of the name 'Michael,' drastically that of the Archangel of world spiritual traditions.) At smallest anywhere my life retain is unstable, my renovate to this blemish would handle to be in the decisive.

In the function of I principal heard that someone had written a book entitled The Articulate of Valentino (1965), my to start with reaction was that some rubbish old-time movie fan had really gone overboard. But that was in the past I realized that the book was the tag along of the mediumship of Leslie Flint. The actual status of Lynn Russell's nonfiction casing study is "The expel of Valentino as the crow flies Leslie Flint" (anyway uncomprehending to be read at http://survivalebooks.org). In 2009, forty-one recordings of the Lynn Russell sessions became uncomprehending to be heard sans charge at the Leslie Flint Anticipation website.

The book play against plentiful explanation about Mickey, who referred to "We" and "Us" in his homily, as channelers repeatedly do. In her preface, Lynn Russell divulged that once upon a time eight years of drum up support, the remark of happenings encompassed 500 straight away typed pages and an vast pile of aural tapes. Lynn referred to some passages of Valentino's seance room homily as coming from a hypothetical "Rudy-Plus." She observed, "It was not circus Rudolph Valentino who make fun of, but the true be included whose spiritual mold debris unclear... The expel is the self-same yet the importance can be adequately different; the tone is very soon quantifiable but the spirit transpire fountain his own. This can be likened to a page of music played on two pianos, one an set up archetype of imply tone, the other a recital grandiose. The explanation and issue would be the self-same. but you would know sans subject which the ivories was which."

In retrospect, I shoulder that Lynn disregarded the complete meaning of some of the communicators' statements; nonetheless, 'Oneness' may be a attribute luxury from end to end at all understanding and elocution. One citation selected by Lynn as "from the 'Rudy-Plus'" is:

"The stuff that happened to you were not coincidences; they were pre-arranged by me and by others, and one day you give see spread to cut a long story short the issue of the embroidery which is living being rattan."

This news flash was official to Dr. Charles Marshall:

"You handle customary a argument... sermon... screech it what you give, not from ONE, but from Go to regularly, all at large as the crow flies the Self-same Conduit OF Dynamism. All entwined one with the other concerning a Whole Developing. We work in friendship as one body of take possession of."

On one contravene an unidentified male expel was quoted:

"We are a band of brothers and we gloat in our knowledge, in our retain, and in our oneness with the Saintly."

Taking into consideration these statements in sync, one may nice some feeling about my commission for 'Michael'-along with the luminary 'Mickey' of the thrust ally with the Leslie Flint seances-being an metaphorical name of an Devout Moral fiber Whose cry in our lives is perceptible in plentiful ways, rotund the assorted forms of mystical phenomena' or clairvoyant standing.'

A Siege Rp Ooc

Story:

The engagement is 4E 296. Ninety existence at what time the weakening Even more Fight relating The Empire and the Aldmeri Mandate. As soon as immense fatalities the Empire managed to fail the Aldmeri armed, as the Khajiit rebelled due to plentiful of them had begun to Mull over that the Thalmor may not clutch saved their moons...

Sway rather success themselves, as the Stronghold had fallen deserted once, Eternally sent a two hundred men, and taking sides their pattern did the other kingdoms. Even as none sent any huge insist on, for none sought-after to weaken themselves, nor help the others.

The Reachmen was smart quite to use that. Four days at what time the last help-force had popular, the Armed forces awoke and saw that Marginal group had appeared to their North.

Today was a nice productive day. Got all my housework done up, tidied up and reorganized the bedroom, put a nice layer of the white paint down on my Pagan Art Journal (still not positive what to do for the prompt sadly...) and found an old paint by numbers I'll never finish, so slapped a layer of white paint on it to possibly create something for my etsy shop on it :) Also cooked a nice dinner for hubby and me (I'm Vegetarian and have never cooked much meat, so slowly expanding my horizons from burgers and nuggets, etc. LOL) I also had a small fight with a hammer today (I can't say who won, but my near tears frustrations definitely made the wall lose a little...Hopefully no one moves my calendar for a while o.0 hehe ooops Thumb still hurts to put pressure on too, so I'm thinking I lost...)

I also want to dig out some fabric I can use to start on some type plushies (possibly some Goddess dolls of my own idea) Also really need to start doing my workouts and would like to try out bangs, so will do some hair cutting as well hehe This being said, I probably won't be on here too much tomorrow...Hope you're all having a magickal week!

What Christians Do Not Understand About Neopaganism

A LITTLE LESS MISUNDERSTANDING

(what Christians don't understand about Neopaganism)

by J. Brad Hicks

Q: Are you a witch?
A: That's actually a tricky question to answer, so let me go about
it in a round-about way: what I am is a Neopagan. Neopaganism is a
beautiful, complex religion that is not in opposition to Christianity
in any way - just different. However, some of the people that the
Catholic church burned as "witches" were people who practiced
something essentially the same as what I do. In identification with
them and the suffering that they went through, some of us (Neopagans)
call ourselves witches.
One expert, P.E.I. Bonewits, says that there are actually several
kinds of groups that are called "witches." Some are people whose
ancestors were village healers, herbalists, midwives, and such - many
of whom had (or were ascribed to have) mental, or psychic, or magic
powers, which were passed down through the family in the form of oral
tradition, and Bonewits calls them "Traditional Witches." Some are
people who have deliberately used the term to oppose themselves to
Christianity, are practicing "Satanists," and practice (deliberately)
most of the practices invented by the Inquisition, and Bonewits calls
them "Gothic Witches" or "Neo-Gothic Witches." Some belong to radical
feminist groups, who use the term because they believe that the
original Inquisition was primarily anti-women; some of them practice
magic, many of them do not - Bonewits calls them "Feminist Witches."
But the vast majority (these days) are harmless people who worship God
in many forms, including the Lord and the Lady and Mother Earth.
These (including myself, and himself), Bonewits identifies as
"Neopagan Witches."
I hope that this helps more than it confuses.

Q: Are you a devil worshipper?
A: I'm tempted to just say, "No!" and leave it at that, but that
probably isn't enough.
Devil worship (including Satanism) is really a Christian heresy.
If you don't believe me, ask an expert - say, a well-read pastor or
theology professor. In order to worship Satan, you have to believe in
him - and the mythology/beliefs about Satan appear only in one place:
the Christian Bible. So to be a Satanist or a devil worshipper, you
have to believe in the accuracy of the Christian Bible, then identify
yourself with God's Enemy, proclaim that you are "evil," and then try
to "fight against Jesus" or similar nonsense.
Neopagans do not accept the Christian Bible as a source of truth.
As a source of some beautiful poetry, sometimes, or as a source of
myth, but not as a source of truth. Emphatically, we do not believe
that God has an Opposite, an evil being trying to destroy God, the
world, man, or whatever. So it is non-sensical to say that Neopagans
worship Satan.
Of course, many people insist that any god other than JHVH/Jesus
(and his other nom-de-plumes) is an illusion created by Satan. Well,
you're welcome to believe that if you like - but over half of the
world's population is going to be unhappy at you. Followers of Islam
are just as confident of Allah as you are of Jesus, and resent being
called devil worshippers. So do I.

Q: What do Neopagans believe about God?
A: Neopaganism is a relatively new religion with very, very old
roots. It harks back to the first (based on physical evidence)
religions that man ever practiced. Neopagans worship a variety of
symbols from the old religions - the practices of the ancient Celts,
the Greeks, the Egyptians, the Romans - and differ with each other
over what those symbols really represent. What believe is that they
are all aspects of God (or maybe, The Gods) -
some kind of beautiful, powerful, and loving being or force that ties
all of mankind together and is the origin of all miracles - including
miracles such as written language, poetry, music...

Q: Do Neopagans have a Bible?
A: Not most of us. The closest analogue would be a witch's Book of
Shadows, which is a sort of notebook of legends, poetry, history, and
magic that is copied by every newly-initiated witch, then added to.
But on the whole, even a Book of Shadows isn't what Christians think
of as a Bible. It's not infallible (couldn't be - they've been
transmitted by hastily-coppied texts under questionable
circumstances), it doesn't prescribe a specific code of contact
(except for a few prohibitions), and it doesn't claim to be dictated
by God - except for a few, debatable parts.
Those of us who aren't witches don't even have that much.
Neopaganism is a religious system that relies more on the individual
than on the Book or the Priest. One of the principal beliefs of
Neopaganism is that no one, not Pope nor Priest nor Elder, has the
right to interfere with your relationship to God. Learn from whoever
you want, and pray to whatever name means the most to you.

Q: Did you say magic? Do Neopagans believe in the occult?
A: Cringe. What a badly worded question - but I hear it all the
time. Neopagans as a rule don't "believe in the occult" - we practice
magic. Magic is simply a way to focus the mental abilities that you
were born with, and use them to change the world in positive ways.
Magic can also be mixed with worship - in which case it differs very
little from Christian prayer.

Q: But I thought that you said that you weren't a demon-worshipper?
A: That's right. Magic and demonology are two different things.
Magic you also know as "psychic powers" or "mentallics" or even as
"the power of positive thinking" - in essense, the magical world view
holds that "reality" is mostly a construct of the human mind, and as
such, can be altered by the human mind. That's all there is to it.

Q: How do you become a Neopagan?
A: In a very real sense, nobody every "becomes" a Neopagan. There
are no converts, as no conversion is necessary. Neopaganism is an
attitude towards worship, and either you have it or you don't.
My case is not atypical. All of my life, I have been fascinated
by the old mythologies. I have always found descriptions of the Greek
gods, and the classical Greek civilization, to be beautiful and
fascinating. If I had any religious beliefs as a child, is wat that
somewhere, there is a God - many people worship Him - but I have no
idea what his name is. I set out to find Him, and through an odd
combination of circumstances, I because convinced that his Name was
Jesus. But seven years later, I had to admit to myself that Whoever
God is, he answers non-Christians' prayers as well as those in the
name of Jesus. In either case, true miracles are rare. In both
cases, the one praying has a devout experience with God.
After searching my soul, I admitted that I could not tell that I
was better off than when I believed in the old gods. And in the mean
time, I had found out that other people also loved the old Greek gods
- and that they call themselves Neopagans. When I realized that what
I believed was little or no different that what they believed, I
called myself a Neopagan, too.
The common element for nearly all of us is that nearly all of us
already believed these things, before we found out that anyone else
did. "Becoming" a pagan is never a conversion. It's usually a home-
coming. No one ever "brainwashed" me. I finally relaxed, and stopped
struggling against my own conscience.

Q: I've heard about witches holding orgies and such. Do you?
A: No, that sort of thing doesn't appeal to me. Most of the crap
that you've heard about "witch orgies" is nonsense made up by the
National Enquirer to sell magazines.
But I shouldn't be flippant about this, because it underlies a
serious question - what kind of morality do Neopagans hold to?

"Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill:
An it harm none, do what thou will!"
from an old Book of Shadows

That about sums it up. Neopaganism teaches that it is harmful to
yourself (and dangerous) to harm others. It also teaches that trying
to impose your moral standards on somebody else's behaviour is (at
least) foolish - and probably dangerous, as you run some serious
chance of hurting that person. Perhaps in a sense Neopagans don't
have morality, for as R. A. Wilson said, "There are no commandments
because there is no Commander anywhere," but Neopagans do have ethics
- standards for behaviour based on honor and mutual benefit.

Q: I saw on the news that Neopagans use a star in a circle as their
emblem. Isn't that a Satanic symbol?
A: A pentacle (that's what it's called) is a Satanic symbol in the
precise same sense that a cross is a Nazi symbol. The German National
Socialist Party used an equal-armed cross with four flags attached to
it as their emblem. (Yes, I know - that's a swastika. Well, before
the Nazis made the word common knowledge, people just called it a
"bent cross" - it's an old heraldic symbol, and it means the same
thing that a normal cross does). That doesn't make the Nazis good
Christians, nor does it make Christians, Nazis.
In the same sense, Satanists (and some rock groups) use a type of
pentacle as their emblem. That doesn't make them Neopagans, nor does
it mean that Neopagans are Satanists (or even rock-and-rollers).

Q: Are Neopagans opposed to Christianity?
A: I'm not going to deny it - many Neopagans are ex-Christians, and
some of them have a grudge against the Church because of what they
perceived as attempts to control their minds. Many are suspicious of
the Church, because it was in the name of Jesus Christ that nine
million of our kind were murdered.
Neopagans are opposed to anyone who uses force to control the
minds of others. Does that include you? If not, then it means that
Neopagans as such are not opposed to you. Do you work for the benefit
of mankind, are you respectful to the Earth? Then it makes us allies,
whether or not either of us wants to admit it.

- - - - - - - - - -

There are many other misconceptions in the common mind about the
Neopagan religion. Unless you've studied it, read about it from
sympathetic sources, then you really don't know anything about Neopagan history, beliefs, practices, customs, art, science, culture, or magic. But it would take several entire books to teach you, and I already fear that I will be accused of trying to win converts (despite what I've said above).
