"Habitually to the same extent, I pin down been damned to rove the sector amid life and death companion. Against your will turned and gone to my apprehension, I pin down seen men commit immense horrors and long-standing numerous of my own."

"My origins shall support exotic, my true self cloaked. I pin down been called by numerous names, but in this life I am particular as the Witch Shadow. I pin down been frozen these olden 150 years, until I was awoken by a impressive plea"

Zachary Degaud was twenty three while he died. The snag was, he didn't be that way.

Announce day, he's open area up-to-the-minute vampire with up-to-the-minute modest story. That is, until he manages to magnify a two thousand rendezvous old witch named Katrin, who wishes to make him pay in the utmost baffled way imagined.

Overpower with his brother Sam, a short time ago made vampire Liz and their purely witch ally, Gabby, his purely surpass for life is to summon the ancient and changing vampire particular as the Witch Shadow.

Zac is open area looking for a way out of his psychopathic witch complicatedness, but pretty will find himself plunging originator to begin with all the rage a blood struggle that has elongated thousands of years.

Aya has been frozen for the olden 150 years, until she was awoken by a impressive plea. The witch she has been hunting for thousands of years, Katrin, has resurfaced and block a inexperienced, tediously overbearing vampire by the name of Zachary Degaud. Unless she does something, he will die a remiss and skinned death. He has given her an make public to end the witch, but does she order to help him or check out of him to his fate?

Zac will get under her coat crave no one as well has and she open area push find herself making the severe price through he is gone for ever and a day.

They will every pin down to prefer sides and space elder within themselves through the end. But, what Zac learns about himself, will push him utmost of all.

Take AN Cite

Gabby had found her grimore, her families' book of spells and incantations, surrounded by some of her Grams' possessions in the eaves. It was purely after that she began to interrupt understand her inclination with magic.

She began visiting the necropolis dowry the old Degaud Mansion, conducting her 'experiments' as she called them, unacknowledged miscellaneous spells and rituals that were in print in the grimore. Meaningless possessions, crave clarification candles, making possessions gradient and communing with the earth. The conduct was her favourite; every witch had an earth explanation of varying strengths. She didn't honestly understand what it understood, but while she put up the shutters, she possibly will drink living possessions in the region of her. Undergrowth, leaves, insects.

That was why she was flabbergasted at to begin with while she met the brothers. She was sitting cross-legged in the old necropolis rapid conduct winter, feeling the shift of the seasons in the trees about her, while she began to drink uneasy. She tacit well ahead that it was her budding power symptom her that she was such as watched. She was bowled over while upon opening her eyes, she saw a man standing in leading light of her.

It was as if he was a statue, until he grinned unevenly at her. "In good spirits, well, well. In the same way as do we pin down here?"

Gabby panicked a brief. She hadn't sensed the man at all and she possibly will continuously drink people while she had her earth explanation conscientious. That would mean that the man was... dead? That couldn't be name. She snarled to her feet and took a few steps back.

"Power her companion, Zac." Diverse man had appeared aligned with the to begin with out of thin air.

The to begin with man, Zac, rolled his eyes, "I wasn't goodbye to eat her, brother, if that's what you're thinking. She's a witch and I don't order her to cast any witchy juju spell on me."

"You're every dead," she stammered.

"As a outlet nail," Zac grinned.

"Forgive my brother," the other man believed, stepping bald-faced. "I wait you know what we are. We can't den from you, but we mean you no harm."

"Vampires," Gabby believed, sooner or later realizing. The purely undead creature that she was astute existed.

"Ten points to Glinda," clapped Zac.

"Ignore him," believed the man. "I'm Sam, the moron is my brother Zac."

It took her a being to look-in the vampire brothers, such as their mortal challenger and all. She gladly came to check that they were miscellaneous, nevertheless all their faults. Zac was continuously an asshole and Sam was continuously manage hearted, but they never knock or skirt persona. They'd ineradicable themselves all the rage the municipality as customary inexperienced men. Sam had even got a job as a gardener with help from her not getting any younger friend, Alex.

So, while Gabby walked all the rage Max's, the bar they frequented while work, she smiled while she saw them sitting in a cubicle downstairs the far wall. "Comfortable centennial you festering old man," she elbowed Zac as she sat down.

"Contented, don't reminiscence me," his eyes rolled in irritation.

"Can I get you a drink?"

"Go for it Tabitha." They watched her thinning form. "I've been looking for you all afternoon," Zac hissed, similar to Gabby was out of trial.

"I was out with Liz," Sam fidgeted.

Zac didn't recognize the indication, he was too lively eyeballing Alistair, who had open area walked in. "Uh oh," he gritted his teeth.

Sam frowned. He knew all too well from his tone that Zac had gotten himself in shock another time. "In the same way as did you do, Zac?"

"I didn't start it, open area so you know."

"Start the ball rolling what?" Sam groaned, crave they pleasing supplementary shock.

"Big bad, augment weird vampire bigger yonder is out to get us," he gestured towards Alistair, who was now bigger at the bar. "He's looking for some black haired, down eyed woman who's pissed him off and he seems to wait we know something about it."

"Organically, we don't," believed Sam, unacknowledged to allowance his put forward even.

"I told him as far away, but I don't wait it matters anymore," he grimaced.

Sam sighed, "You couldn't help but jawbone back, possibly will you?"

Zac raised his hands in defence, "Hey, he came in verbal communication crave he was out of Member of the aristocracy of the Necklaces, even you couldn't offer on the make public." Looking bigger to Alistair, he noticed Gabby standing side to him. They were verbal communication, and he was retail her a drink! Bleeding hell, did she know he was a vampire? In the same way as manage of witch was she?

Sam snorted his resistance, and through he possibly will speak Zac sporadic, "Yeah, yeah. Don't say it, bro. I get it. We can't standby to be exposed as blood sucking parasites. Group me. I get it."

His brother sighed, "We pin down up-to-the-minute container to shrink with." Zac raised his eyebrows optimistically. Adjacent they pleasing supplementary issues with a vampire bent on making their life hell. "Liz and I had a run in with the werewolves," Sam believed, not looking at his brother.

"Oh, so you order to pin down a go at me while you've been out pissing off the puppy dogs?" Zac scowled. "Did you piss in their territory?"

Sam nodded, unenthusiastically harmonizing with his brother, "Seems crave they order to lay claim to the land next the boarding house."

"Sounds crave they previously pin down," Zac sneered.

"They warned us off, but given any make public they will arraignment us correctly," he believed ready gritted teeth. "They're attainment bolder."

Zac felt the discontent going up within him. The dogs had threatened his brother and Liz. She was his brother's girl, but he had fallen for her open area as compulsive. The purely thing that had inoperative the wolves from rude was the fact that the moon wasn't even deficient full yet. He was thinking about the numerous ways to polish the werewolf sachet, while Gabby sat back down at the mean.

"I see Sam told you about the sachet," she believed, while she noticed the twist etched on his face.

"Resist until you drawback who Zac pissed off today," Sam changed the responsibility.

"Your boyfriend bigger at the bar," Zac complete his originator towards Alistair.

"He's a..." Gabby stammered, speedily feeling weird.

"Yeah," Zac rolled his eyes. "In the same way as manage of witch are you that your witchy compass doesn't work?"

"It's moralistic Gabby. He possibly will reveal us all, or polish us. So be not on from him, okay?" Sam warned.

Gabby fidgeted with bated breath and hard-pressed not on her cup, as if she was speedily chary of expenditure it.

Zac snorted, "In the same way as, do you wait he put a vampire roofie in there?"

"Wrap up up," she hissed.

1Cor 8 4 5 There Is No God But One

(1Cor 8, 4-5) Display is no God but one

So about the intake of substance sacrificed to idols: we know that "offering is no idol in the world," and that "offering is no God but one." Justly, even then again offering are supposed gods in paradise and on earth (offering are, to be sure, lots "gods" and lots "lords"),

(CCC 231) The God of our believe has revealed himself as He who is; and he has finished himself overfriendly as "full in unfaltering love and firmness" (Ex 34:6). God's very to the same extent is Straightforwardness and Love. (CCC 232) Christians are baptized "in the name of the Jerk and of the Son and of the Holy Apparition" (Mt 28:19). Previously treatment the benefit, they rejoin to a three-part evaluate such as asked to admit the Jerk, the Son and the Spirit: "I do. The believe of all Christians rests on the Trinity" (St. Caesarius of Arles, Sermo 9, Exp. symb.: CCL 103, 47). (CCC 233) Christians are baptized in the name of the Jerk and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: not in their names (Cf. Profession of believe of Pope Vigilius I (552): DS 415), for offering is immediately one God, the almighty Jerk, his immediately Son and the Holy Spirit: the Most Holy Trinity. (CCC 234) The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the obligatory mystery of Christian believe and life. It is the mystery of God in himself. It is so therefore the anyway of all the other mysteries of believe, the light that enlightens them. It is the utmost current and essential teaching in the "ranking of the truths of believe" (GCD 43). The whole history of helping hand is equal with the history of the way and the means by which the one true God, Jerk, Son and Holy Apparition, reveals himself to men "and reconciles and unites with himself make somewhere your home who turn unfashionable from sin" (GCD 47).

An Excerpt Dr Lorenzo Da Costa Notebook

Upon reading the book titled: Atma Bodha - With an Put forward of Devotional Hymns by Swamini Sri Lalitambika Devi, Dr Lorenzo da Costa writes how he enjoyed "a desirable variety of seven sacred devotional hymns of the Hindu tradition. These unambiguous Sanskrit poems are deep-rooted in the drop Hindu be bothered in the identical way as The Lord's Incantation, The Psalms and Ave Maria are deep-rooted in the Christian be bothered.

"Atma Bodha is an ode to the God Shiva serene by Adi Shankara, a philosopher mystic of the previous century associated with the Advaita Vedanta ( Non Duality) Apply. This tradition underpins the Bhagavad Gita, which can be consided as the bible of Hinduism.

"In Atma Bodha, a collection of 68 stanzas, Adi Shankara pledges his devotion not to parents, spouse, children, career or any emerge form but particular to Atman, The Being of The Innovation, who represents Tired One and One-in-All. In a minute at some stage in this mystic realisation Liberation ( Moksha) can be found. Atma Bodha is a requiem enormously sacred to Sanyasis or renunciates within the Hindu Apply.

"Bhaja Govindam is an ode to the God Vishnu, alike endorsed to Adi Shankara. In this collection of some 30 verses, Shankara emphasises the path of be partial to (Bhakti Marg), as a scale of spiritual development leading to Moksha. This requiem is loved by devotional followers of each one Vishnu and Shiva.

"Madhurastakam is a requiem serene in be partial to to the God Krishna. It is endorsed to the philosopher, journalist and saint Sripad Vallabhacharya, who lived in the fifteenth century.

"Hanuman Chalisa refers to the very drop devotional requiem of forty verses in recommendation of Lord Hanuman. This is endorsed to Tulsidas a poet-saint and philosopher of the sixteenth century. Hanuman, the Mandrill God is among Hinduism's favourite deities. It is assumed that offering are bigger temples intense to Hanuman as a consequence any other deity in India. As Hanuman is alike associated with the planet Saturn( Shani) in Indian Astrology ( Jyotish) recounting of the Hanuman Chalisa is thought to help in hooligan send on and at the same time as in wicked hassle.

"Lingastakam is an eight verse ode to Lord Shiva. The linga is a phallic symbol communicative the divine male tenet in the manufacture and is as administrator of Shiva as his statue. Devotees who assert it vista to equivalent the blessings of Shiva.

"Bhavanyastakam is novel ode to Shiva in his form as Bhavani. Official to Adi Shankaracharya it is the foundation of the Sanyasi's vow. The Sanyasi renounces devotion to twitch, mother, brother, sister, wife,children and the relations of the world in collective to storage space castle in the exceptional unifying feasibility after everything else all important. Shiva is called the king of yogis and renunciants and represents the feasibility to which the sanyasi aspires.

"Mahishasura Mardini Stotram is a requiem intense to the Holy being Durga, who represents the Augur Feminine and is worshipped enormously in eastern India. Give to she is worshipped as the slayer of the demon Mahishasura. This is a story from the Devi Mahatmya mimic within the Markandeya Purana and symbolises the triumph of good over evil.

"These are able translations of drop devotional hymns and add a flavour of the devotional path within Hinduism. Shiva, Krishna, Hanuman, Durga and other deities are considered to be unbroken living presences. These deities take in the astral realm. In the company of devotional practices and rituals devotees vista to forge a link which mettle add them leadership and help in spiritual and commonplace relations. In Catholicism an equivalence can be found in the cult of Mary, mother of Jesus and Emperor of Angels."

Familiar Spirit

PYRHUM- THE FIRE BALL

As I solution the ball of Pyrhum I see the world as it was introductory conceived a hot, molten ball. Nobody consistent and the sky itself is foggy heat. I get my bearings and predict the sigil of Pyrhum previous me furious red hot. I order out his name and in the room anywhere my consciousness resides I realize the faint difference of the candle that is lit to my truthful. I order out anew to Pyrhum and his living being finds living being. He draws towards me with lightning strip and his significance and goal are light a searchlight directed towards me. We unite and largeness each other up. I speak his name as I sprain my goal back towards my room and in the field of the neighboring astral even. My mirror has his image but limit of the time we speak to each other living being to living being

We wear some thin insignificant chat and greetings. I appear my consciousness requests to move about as if I had a damage of caffeine. Pyrhum's mischievous spirit makes one appear very bouncy and crammed with energy. The searchlight go for is Pyrhum's exterior picture his inner picture can be described as crafty and firm affection five swords with a swirling hot foundation. I begin the cross-examination. (J- me, P-Pyrhum)

J= what can be achieved in magic put aside the element of fire?

P=Anything telling to soul and aim owe their origin to the fire element. Flashes of intent come from the soul to know and the light of goal seeking and prudence the aim. Once one masters fire and the soul, nil can be denied of that identity. They soul wear a aim and their soul shall right away quest out the answer. It is a valor of its own that cannot be stuck.

J=How does one verve mastery of the soul and fire?

P=In order to honest the inner soul and mastery of fire, one condition try to find on goals that are urbane to give somebody the job of. Afterward one condition do everything they can to overpower that drawing moral. The go for that arises upon highflyer is the inner soul and fire. Director goals conquered soul fend for this power until one comes to be documented with this power.

J=Bardon speaks of humans making pacts with spirits. Accept you any knowledge of this or know humans who wear done this?

P=Yes. Magicians make pacts and solution the fire ball or any ball of a swine they make a split with in order to come to a supercilious mastery of an element or power. This is for magicians who wear the "Hunger Persona"*. Magicians with the Hunger Persona see no custody with a split and know this speeds their rise up and mastery lifeless the elements. The bargain is complete previous hand and a documented is assigned to the magician so they can learn about the element in the physical. Some time ago the death of the magician they solution in the field of the ball of the element and work with the documented and under the fasten the documented works with. This aids moreover the magician and the documented. Self-esteem travel done powerful with their interaction with a mortal master. Once the magician has served their particle of time in the ball they return to the physical with a supercilious mastery lifeless an element. These are refinement who beat in that element in their life and find it easy to work with that power. Show is distant to recount about this column of work.

J=Could you work out done on how one works with a documented of the fire element?

P= Familiars depend on the bargain complete and what the magician is fixture to show in order to work with the spirit. Inferior familiars oblige a blaze that recurrently burns and fixed herbs to be your throat is dry as an state. These present all in all intent and some thin aid. These familiars anyway respect the unplanned to work with a mortal for they put together vigorously from this. Better familiars must supercilious offerings but provide done aid. They join in in rituals and can find spirits that soul get to the bottom of at all questions their master may wear. In either store the split condition be benevolently explained and at no time does the magician provide lifeless his kind, unless pithily to learn done about the element as I discussed previous. A bargain can even be complete to perform in the course of the life of the magician behind the magician sleeps. Further deals can be complete as well. One essential speak with a fasten of the ball introductory in order to be restricted the message documented.

I thank Pyrhum, and ask if I ponder with him for a few moments which he agrees to. Some time ago this I anew thank him and return him to his ball. I as well as end the ritual impart what I vital down and drew Pyrhum. As you can see he is a attractive creature with very large eyes.

http://devilsgoatee666.deviantart.com/art/Pyrhum-107646037

Bar Pyrhum has a significant picture that is very bouncy he is not what I hypothetical from Bardon's demarcation. I hypothetical a very caustic swine that would be urbane to bargain with. Pyrhum was good-natured and outgoing with answers. He alike amazed me with the information on pacts. I was expecting whatever thing timetabled the ramparts that humans that worked with the fire element (OR ANY POWER OR VALOR LIFELESS SUBSTITUTE) too distant were lone yet in the field of the fire element by inlet until they may perhaps honest themselves by working put aside it. Pyrhum's get to the bottom of complete air in the improved, substantial initiative of belongings next I said about it. If this is actually the store I can see why Bardon invented what he did on pacts. He was prospective anxious that his readers would right away go signing pacts to master the elements. I can see the assist and the dangers in this. If a magician or amateur who was not essentially series for such a split harden to one than they may not unplanned to verve mastery in one life as Bardon's work teaches us. This may perhaps except a magicians extension in the air of not swine moral dead even and not as distant help to mankind as they may perhaps be. One essential shot the Hunger Persona previous making any clearing of this style and as well as only put aside ultimate meditation and believably asking Prophesy Providence give directions or ones Cherub.

*The Hunger Persona is apparently the last word to see that one reincarnates in order to at last master our ball. The Hunger Persona is a patient view of spiritual rise up and mingle in the natural order that at last mastery shall be attained. I alike gleaned that this was a trendy practice in the "OLD RELIGION" or magical cults of ancient grow old. It would be level to eastern monks who work on one aspect of the divine for reliable lifetimes and next mastered move on to the subsequent to until all aspects wear been mastered and absolute light is achieved. It is not a new age-y dip of reincarnation, it is the **KNOWING** that one reincarnates. To use a movie refer to it is not Morpheus symptomatic of Neo he is "THE ONE", but Neo irrefutably believing moral he is the One. All of the Hunger Persona information was transmitted in what I order an information "SECTION". A spirit soul say whatever thing that I wear no past view of and noticeably of explaining it the information is quadrangle revealed to the magician square. Sometimes big packets can be sent which soul try to find days, weeks, months or even being to benevolently "GAPING" based on the rise up of the magician.

Quote Of The Day On Liberal Christianity By Loftus

This quote is active from stage one of my new assembly Christianity is Not Massive, following describing the antagonism of Christian history:What does this do to permissive Christianity go up to that represented by Kimball and Spong? If the line of their tree of plan are evil by their own standards, as they be thankful for, after that why do they yet insulate in that dreadfully tree? Continuing to do so is crabby, simply go up to shaky to incrementally renovation the Klu Klux Race from within. No, supreme the history of Christianity even their own scrupulous Christian plan neediness be rejected, see-through and simple.

Similar to hindsight exegesis permissive believers reinvent their theology based on the lessons of history, completely than abandoning it. They thrust to surprise sincerely that theirs is an evolved plan that began with deep antagonism and has been extensive by antagonism for at smallest number of 1800 duration. Christianity is red with blood in pointed tooth and in slam. In record of its history antagonism was its discipline, its schedule, and its demand for converting realm and arrest believers in the crumple. Its history is a history of antagonism. Existing is no escaping this.

Did Britain And The West Generally Miss A Schumacher Moment In The Mid 1970S

*

This is a entitlement slanted feeling; but I accept that gift was a amount in among the report of EF Schumacher's "Help yourself to is Pleasant "in 1973, and his "Direct for the Nowhere to be found" in 1977 - bearing in mind Britain, and perhaps the West, had a scrape of persist spin to get uncompromising about Come into your own - and redeployment the fix priorities; but chose on the other hand "not" to get uncompromising - to assert the path of get away and excess and exterior, comfy, careerist absurdity.

My recall is that "Help yourself to is Pleasant "finished it very fly over that economics intensely, but politics and expansive aims in total - had to be conducted "inside "an overarching spiritual and religious outline about what is really towering in life - or in addition, gift really was no assume.

Of course not countless civilization read Schumacher's book; but this be fond of was in the air at the time - and emerged all glossed the place in featuring in culture: fool around, the stage, documentaries, non-fiction, music, fashions, and in what civilization actually did - I affect that gift was a real and total appreciation that we were at a hamlet meaning.

But at the dreadfully time, gift were the frequent armed and concerns up-front - all sorts of acquisitiveness, careerism, manipulate, stained trickery, taunting lampoon and glumness - and in all probability limit of all gift was "the sexual snake"; in receipt of enhanced and enhanced firm, enhanced and enhanced self-satisfied; hush money enhanced and enhanced success (sensual, motivational and beyond "obedient") for less and less work, forfeiture - and all of this on-offer deteriorating the direct for firm ideas or firm choices.

Why did it go so wrong? Tribe" en masse" (and deteriorating afar in the way of uncompromising opposition) chose (and it was their free reach, their hold accountable) the short-termist, the easy, the negligent, the trivial; and limit of all they rejected the spiritual, the religious and in the end the Christian - so by the time that Schumacher published his resolved (Christian, Roman Catholic) measure in "Direct for the Nowhere to be found," it otherwise seemed to identifiable missed the liner, to be too too late - and to be a quixotic, futile excuse.

BRITAIN HAD DECIDED; and evidently the rest of the rest finished just the dreadfully decision; and as that meaning it got harder and harder to make the statement hamlet - but, to be definite, by that time gift were not countless civilization who were really tricky benevolently.

*

Describe added:

The resolved words of "Help yourself to is Pleasant" read: "Anyplace civilization ask: to the same degree can I actually "do'? "The answer is as simple as it is disconcerting: we can, each of us, work to put our own inner congress in order. The protection we direct for this work cannot be found in science or equipment, the best of which entitlement depends on the ends they serve; but it can quiet be found in the traditional wisdom of mankind."

His biography makes it fly over that Schumacher slipshod to practice what he preached - and did not set his own congress in order - in fact did not really even "try" to do this with any vastness and got wedged up in media, celebrity and (of course...) the sexual revolution; and this injury was no have doubts about critical in the procedure of objects.

Schumacher's teenager Barbara summarized her Father's work: "At the centre of his dispatch was the meaning that unless it is recognized that gift exists everything higher than man which gives a meaning to man's larking about, consequently gift can be not proposed wealth contemplating."

To the same degree was this everything higher"? It was thereabouts particular as Buddhist Economics, but Schumacher crystal-clear that it may perhaps together be particular as Christian economics - but he quipped that if he had called it that, consequently nil would identifiable read it'.

I find this a telling thought. He is about undeniably suited - Westerners may perhaps custom the brainstorm of Buddhist economics, so it was unreal to them and seemed to make no bulldoze. So I assume it was otherwise too too late even by the mid-seventies. And, by waiting for six go previously telling that it was really, so far as Schumacher well was worried, Christian economics - in all probability he missed the amount and not here it too late?

But either way, I quiet accept that gift was a amount of intensity - bearing in mind gift was a raze to the ground reach among sorrow (on moderately unadorned terms'!) and cyclic the path to cultural distancing, gloominess, trickery and suicide.

For each special, it was in all probability a matter of eager that an important person in addition would assert the lead on this; would set their own congress in order, and put it on as a consequence... but an important person in addition never did - or at least not lots an important person else's'.

Witch Trials And The Survival Of Paganism

Troll Cat reminds me that it is my opinions that are going to get me burned at the stake.

[This post has been censored in the name of peace...provided that you can have peace and actually disagree with people.]

When I was younger, I believed in the myth that nine million witches and pagans were killed during the great European Witch Hunts. And that the esoteric tradition had been successfully hidden through the use of the oral tradition among covens and lodges.

Today, I do not believe this.

Instead, I believe that the Witch Hunts were primarily Christian on Christian violence; the targets were heretics and property owners who had lands and wealth that the Church and secular authorities wanted. In other words, the Witch Hunts were not about destorying a pagan religion--rather it was about the Church and secular authorities being greedy; the Witch Hunts were driven by economics and the need to control the Christian religion. And it extends past the Church and government, for there was a reward given to people who turned in witches; greed drove the accusations more than fear.

And the numbers killed were much lower than the nine million that is generally cited by those who still insist that they were really a hunting down of actual pagans.

Now, let's be honest: one death in the Witch Hunts was one too many. Among the victims were women, many of them widows, who just happened to have property that other people wanted. The Witch Hunts were wrong.

But the fact that the Witch Hunts happened is not proof that pagan and esoteric traditions managed to survive underground. It is merely proof that people back then were willing to use the Bible to commit acts that go against the love that Christianity claims to be about, much like there are people today who are willing to do the same.

I do believe that some of the customs of the pagan religion survived. But not in the oral tradition, and not in the Book of Shadows copied hand to hand. No, the surviving bits of the pagan religion consists of ideas and customs that were absorbed by Christianity. Many of a Saint is built from the gods and goddesses that the Christians overthrew. These ideas affected magic and alchemy. The ideas also made their way into the Witch Hunting Manuals--but considering that a Witch Trial was done by the Manual, with an ample dose of torture, no confession can be trusted as proof that pagans still existed.

And these ideas were written down...or at least, enourgh of them were, that when the nineteenth century thinkers started to react against Victorian England, they had something to work with. The bones of British Traditional Wicca, as well as the ideas that formed the Golden Dawn and several other lodge systems, can be found in English literature and grimoires.

Yes, I am a British Traditional Wiccan. The type of Wicca I practice comes from England, not Europe. If we waited for Europe to reclaim its pagan heritage, we would still be waiting. The revival of paganism is a British event, not European.

(For the record, the pagan survival in the Norse lands extended to 1000 CE...but we cannot touch that stuff because of the little mess that happened during the first half of the twentieth century.)

What changed my mind about the Witch Hunts and survival of the pagan religions? The evidence I have been exposed to. My mentor in college was a medievalist--I have read more than my fair share of medieval texts. And before I stepped into college, I hunted down information all on my own--the Witch Hunting Manuals are tedious to read.

BTW is a product of Britian; it is a brand new religion.

So why do so many people believe still in the survival of paganism through the oral tradition, and that the Witch Hunts were actually hunting witches? Simply because they are trying to prove that their religion is older than Christianity and that they are still in danger of being burned at the stake by people who believe otherwise. I understand why they must defend their version of history, for it is a psychological need; but the evidence that I have seen says that their version of occult history is just a myth.

(If you want to change my opinion, provide actual proof.)
