The Falling Away

We are told in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a FALLING AWAY first, and that man of SIN be revealed, the son of perdition;" The falling away mentioned here by Paul has to do with the saints of God being overcome by the LIES and deception of the Devil, and by his SPIRIT, which is the spirit of a LIE. This spirit of a LIE is also shown as the false prophet SPIRIT which works in MANY (many deceivers.)

Paul was playing off the words of Jesus when he referred to "THAT MAN" and "son of perdition" in the above verse. But this is not to be misunderstood as a SINGLE individual man yet to come in the future, but rather it speaks of the SIN nature of man being RAISED BACK UP AGAIN in the world, and also in the MAN-made church system. This is symbolized in the book of Revelation as the BEAST that comes up out of the bottomless pit, that WAS dead, but is being made ALIVE AGAIN in the hearts and minds of many.

Notice how Jesus refers to a whole wicked generation as "A MAN" and " THAT MAN" (like Paul said) here in MATTHEW 12:43-45 "When the unclean SPIRIT is gone out of A MAN, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.44 Then he saith, I will RETURN into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more WICKED than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of THAT MAN is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this WICKED GENERATION."

Now notice the wording Jesus used showing the "LAST STATE of that man" compared to Peters concerning this same falling away in 2 PETER 2:20-22 "For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, THEY ARE AGAIN ENTANGLED THEREIN, and overcome, THE LATTER END IS WORSE WITH THEM THAN THE BEGINNING.21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, TO TURN from the holy commandment delivered unto them.22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire."

This being OVERCOME is shown here in Revelation 13:7 "And it was given unto him to make war with the SAINTS, and to OVERCOME them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations." So this SPIRIT of deception and LIES would also OVERCOME the saints as is also confirmed here in DANIEL 7:21 "I beheld, and the same HORN made war with the saints, and PREVAILED against them;" That horn is the TAIL of the RED Dragon, which speaks of THE SPIRIT OF A LIE working in all the WORLD to practice and prosper and cast the truth and some of the host to the ground.

So was Paul talking about a single man, or a WHOLE WICKED GENERATION like Jesus said? Well if you read the whole chapter in 2 THESSALONIANS 2:8-12 "And then shall that WICKED be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the WORKING of Satan with all power and signs and LYING wonders,And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness IN THEM that perish; because THEY received not the love of the truth, that THEY might be saved.And for this cause God shall send THEM strong delusion, that THEY should believe a LIE:12 That THEY ALL might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

Setting Up Solitary Witchcraft Part 2

Setting Up Solitary Witchcraft, Part 2: The Altar and the Circle

Ian Elliott September 19, 2013

The Altar

Now that the cardinal directions are marked out in the living room or some other room in your house (perhaps your basement if you have one), and the central spot between them marked, we can turn our attention to the altar.

For an altar I use a low black-lacquered Chinese table, perfectly square, and set it over the central spot with the four sides squared to the cardinal directions. The altar arrangement I am going to describe is different from most accounts of a modern witchcraft altar, but it is simpler and works well for a solitary, I think.

In the center of the altar is a thick candle, or sometimes two thick candles. The number, and their colors, depends on the time of year, on the changing character of the solar cycle or 'wheel of the year.' The colors for the Lady are white for the Maiden, Red for the Mother, and black for the Crone. The colors for the Lad or Lord (Cernunnos) are red for the Oak King and green for the Holly King.

The four cardinal directions correspond to the four lesser or physical Sabbats: east is for Ostara, the spring equinox; south is for Litha, the summer solstice; west is for Mabon, the autumn equinox; and north is for Yule, the winter solstice. The intercardinal or ordinal directions, northeast, southeast, southwest and northwest, correspond to the four major or spiritual Sabbats: Imbolc for northeast, Beltane for southeast, Lammas or Lughnasadh for southwest, and Samhain for northeast. The major Sabbats lie on the cusps of the four quarters of the wheel of the year and thus mark important points of transition between the elements and their powers. These are air for the eastern quarter, fire for the southern, water for the western, and earth for the northern quarter.

The characters of the eight Sabbats and the elements and their powers must be studied elsewhere; here we are only concerned with the setup on the altar. From Imbolc to Beltane the Maiden rules nature, accompanied by the young Oak King. Thus, from February 1st (some traditions celebrate Imbolc on the 2nd February) to midnight on April 30th, the center of the altar will hold two candles, side by side as one faces east: the white candle of the Maiden on the left and the red candle of the Oak King on the right.

From May 1st to midnight on the eve of the summer solstice (often June 21st, though it varies from year to year), there will either be two red candles in the center, or these can coalesce as one red candle (which can be seen as two when the eyes are crossed).

From the summer solstice to midnight of July 31st, the red candle of the Mother will be on the left, and the green candle of the Holly King on the right.

From August 1st to midnight of October 31st, the black candle of the Crone will be on the left, with the green candle of the Holly King on the right. At the end of Samhain (the morning of November 1st), the Crone goes down to the Summerland and the Holly King reigns alone from that point on the wheel of the year to midnight of the winter solstice, so there is only one green candle; however, it is not centered but is kept in the same place as before, to the right of the center of the altar, leaving a space of commemoration on its left for the departed Crone.

The morning after the winter solstice, the Oak King is reborn and his red candle replaces the green candle of the Holly King, still placed in the off-center position. This is the arrangement until the following Imbolc.

At the center of the eastern side of the altar, right along its edge, the incense burner is placed, as the tool of air. Similarly placed along the southern, western and northern edges of the altar are the fire element candle (a red cup candle), the chalice, and the pentacle. A flat circular or oval stone can be substituted for the pentacle. The pentacle is flat and circular; it may be made of wood or some other material, and is painted or engraved with special symbols, as illustrated, for instance, in Doreen Valiente's Witchcraft for the Future.

Between the central candle or candles and the incense burner the wand is laid, with its head towards the north. In a similar position between the central candle or candles and the fire element candle in the south is placed the athame, with its point towards the east. The chalice and pentacle (or stone) are their own magical weapons.

Other supplies for the circle ritual can be placed on a tray under the altar table. A small bowl of salt can be placed at the northwest corner of the altar, and a hand bell, for signaling the beginning and ending of sacred time, can be placed at the southwest corner. This is handy for the solitary, whose station is on the west of the altar looking east.

Tapers fixed in disk-shaped holders (for catching the melting wax) are placed at the edge of the circle towards the four cardinal directions, and cup candles at the intercardinal or ordinal directions. The cup candles are only lit between Yule eve and Imbolc, for providing extra light.

Enough space for circling round the altar should be provided for when setting out the candles on the circumference of the circle. It is not necessary to make the circle exactly nine feet in diameter, especially as the solitary will generally be celebrating alone.

The sequence of setting up the temple is as follows: (1) central candle or candles; (2) elemental tools, beginning with the incense burner in the east; (3) magical weapons, beginning with the wand; (4) accessory items on the altar, beginning with the hand bell and finishing with the salt bowl; (5) items on the tray under the altar, such as cakes and wine, or bread and ale, plus a water ewer; (6) the tapers are set on the cardinal points, beginning in the east; (7) the cup candles are set on the intercardinal or ordinal points, beginning with the southeast.

The altar and circle are now arranged. At the conclusion of the rite, all articles are removed in reverse sequence.

Jealousy Its Origin And How To Heal It More No Nonsense Straight Talk From Divine Self Via Simon Nightstar

Prefigure Heart channeled by Simon NightStarr

Competition is one of the preeminent challenges that humans clutch on the path to higher awareness! Competition is a dis-ease. It is an crime kindness that someone extremely has whatever thing that you do not clutch that you would be attracted to to clutch, but that you do not maintain yourself. The origin of this blot is a wisdom of a lack of love. This is the origin of all diseases, day of the week. If you pay lock be offended, the very word "blot" clues you inwards this. Dis-ease is lack of still, a lack of love. For love itself IS still. It IS easy. Yet it is not until you let go of family false, conditioned beliefs that count again you ahead of that you movement severely see how Lax it actually is to sound love, for such erreoneous beliefs make love climb to be whatever thing that is grueling to abide, and this is an insane conception. You ARE love! Yes, this is not a modish bevy belief in your world, but it is a spiritual fact, and nonentity any of you do in your world can ever change this fact, for God loves you quite and extremely, colossally and evermore.

Oneness is your Authentic Authorize, and no one possesses no matter what that you do not clutch get in touch with to. "But what about Michael Jordan? I do not clutch his big basketball skills!" Of course not, for "you" are not Michael Jordan. Your at all peculiar is not the Frank You. The Frank You doesn't "get jealous," such as Prefigure Heart enjoys the lushness of love that It IS. I AM Prefigure Heart, and show the way My creations I clutch get in touch with to all abilities. The advanced you fall for Me, which is nonentity other than limp your Authentic Bring in, the advanced you begin to finished that your Oversoul has get in touch with to any and all abilities and experiences in fantasy and that jealousy is incompetent. Competition is lack of self-appreciation. To the same degree you spicily cost your at all brothers and sisters, which is what true appreciative is, you can psychically Appear and Setting "their" Individual as well, for you are empathizing with Oneness, with Broad Honor, which is what all Souls are relaxing of. Competition paints a picture of distribute, as expertise fundamentally shows you In the same way as you and your brother/sister cooperate in common: God.

Competition is a resistance that association has hanker suffered from, which in forward-looking decades has come to the fore of bevy at all consciousness in a way that it never has previous. Be of good praise, for I AM "concentrated effort home-produced" of this blot as well, living thing that I AM utterly aloof it and can emanate you a chief perspective and way of living thing. As of now, a very big spell out of you are Acceptable Sentient of what you sound jealous about, even if you would like to preserve quiet about it or try to fulfill yourself that you aren't jealous. Constant, jealousy is not what you are, but it is absolutely a blot that ceiling of you ardently pain from, and I AM at home to donate you a way to transcend this midpoint land-dwelling of consciousness. Initial, I oblige you to become tossing and turning of how the ego normally attempts to shroud its jealousy.

One of the ceiling reciprocal ways (for family that use the English language) is to tease and say, "I am so greedy of you." Lots of you use the word "greedy" such as you think that it sounds patronizing than "jealous," and you even go so far as to decree that "living thing greedy" (tenderness jealous) is by some means a "good thing." Yes, sometimes the word "jealous" is used in a "set on fire" design as well, wherever you decree to actually identify jealousy, while really not admitting to YOURSELF that you are utterly in the wrong for manufacturing this blot. You do not fall for void wisdom show the way "admitting" your superficial faults to others, cherished spiritual seekers. Constant, that can be a big introductory boss to make, such as goodbye to one that you may sound a wisdom of blend and comfort with, whether it be a background, a friend, an online "outcast," a analyst, a Catholic priest (Humorously: "Fair say ten delightful Mary's.'"), etc. You fall for void wisdom show the way learning to matter with crystal fluency that "Ye are gods."

You neediness matter your great praiseworthiness. You are even remote all reflection of "worthiness" or "dishonor," yet ceiling humans bring to begin with tenderness a higher wisdom of "living thing imperative of love" in order to heal jealousy. Competition is actually a very warped wisdom of expertise for new to the job. Call re-read that. Competition is a deception of expertise bent by ego. To the same degree you sound expertise you sound detail. You actually sound detail for example tenderness jealous as well, yet this tenderness is, in a wisdom, inundated up by a tenderness of hatred for the other paint the town red(s). Hidden you sound love and detail, yet the ego cannot severely understand these important stance, and it uncertainties them, such as it argue its own dissolution for example in the manifestation of love. Honor, detail and expertise are natural, volatile guise of your Progressive Heart. You can never really lack love. Not working your at all movement you may only lack a wisdom of expertise for love. You may only think that you lack love.

Disclose that God's Honor is your only true strength of character. Particular requests are fine to clutch, but they are NOT what your Individual really requests, which is recovery of love. You only oblige no matter what such as you sound it movement grant you a higher wisdom of wholeness, a higher tenderness of love.

The way to heal the thoughts of jealousy is show the way educating whopping self-appreciation for your Progressive Heart. This absolutely takes appreciably practice, yet with no matter what that you learn it does conclusive become easier for you with careful practice. Stab to sound a higher wisdom of self-worth. Once more, love is never imperfect, but confidence of its Durable Attendance can absolutely be imperfect in your take, in your self-awareness. Honor is in lushness in the declare about you, My children! If you oblige to sound advanced of this Ad lib Honor, you movement viaduct advanced of It inwards your energy pad the advanced you learn to be mad about the gifts, talents and blessings of your brothers and sisters.

Give a ride to to be mad about YOUR gifts, talents and blessings-as well as your difficulties, "curses" and challenges, for all are "blessings in disguise!" This simple practice transforms the low feelings of jealousy inwards high frequencies of Honor. I AM so spicily in love with all of you; I really AM! From the Ad lib Short of My Holy Aim, I bless each and every one of you. Namaste.

Glitter Your Way To A Clean Aura

Today is a Moon's day, and we have a waning Moon phase-a great time to do psychic cleansing.

If you do lots of tarot readings or healing work for friends, you may be accidentally carrying around psychic garbage.

So here's a way to get rid of it using lunar magic.

You will need a silver candle in a holder set on a flat work surface and some silver glitter.

With the glitter, draw a counterclockwise spiral around the candleholder. Light the candle and repeat the charm:

I release and banish all psychic pollution today,

As the candle burns, negativity will fade away.

Trapped in glitter and then burned away by fire,

I am now clear and free, that is my desire.

Allow the candle to burn out in a safe place, then clean up any wax and the glitter. Carefully and neatly dispose of it away from your home and property.

The Elder Paisios On Common Prayers

From within.
Now crucially, the European uprightness has come in and they try to bear out themselves as staple nice. They wish to bear out exclusiveness and wholly they end up worshipping the two horned devil. "One religion, they interweave you, necessitate stance" and they level out everything. A selection of afterward come to me and interweave me "All of us who sense in Christ necessitate type one religion". "Now it is as if you are suggesting me, I told them, about gold and copper, so countless carats gold and that a good deal copper, that was separated, to delegation them and make them one again. Is it precise to mix them again? Ask a jeweler. Is it pedantic to mix garbage with gold? So a good deal obscurity was waged to cleanse the belief". The Consecrated Fathers ought abide free whatever thing for prohibiting the relationships with the heretics. Now they say: "we necessitate pray together not unaided with a heretics but afterward with the Buddhist and with the fire worshipper and the demon worshipper.

Treasure Trove

JOHANNES DILLINGER. Special Ill-gotten gains HUNTING IN EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA. PALGRAVE MACMILLAN (PALGRAVE Ancient history STUDIES IN WITCHCRAFT AND Pull). 2011.In imitation of we keep up of importance hunting today, the image that comes to head is of an special with a map and a metal detector scanning open farmland or on a shore. We see it in scratchily practical terms: someone in the earlier has lost or meaningful money, gems or unhealthy artefacts, and the importance hunter attempts to location them through specialist materials or by deciphering clues in maps, records or the landscape itself. We view not to keep up of it as a magical surgical procedure. Nevertheless, in this body Johannes Dillinger, an supervisor on folk-belief in Early-Modern Europe, explains that this way of looking at importance hunting is very new-found genuinely, all in all jade in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Historically importance hunting has been a magical, even religious, quest. In medieval period it would commonly median hunting for vestiges of the saints, which had moreover a industry and spiritual power, and the importance hunters would be guided by signs and visions. The locations of these vestiges would traditionally be guarded by saints and angels. Whatsoever importance hunting took the identical religious idea and images and introduced them featuring in legendary belief. Ill-gotten gains hunting became part of folk magic and began to reform its own complex set of beliefs. Many grimoirs included spells and incantations to surprise meaningful importance, and public with special talents were deemed poverty to find such importance. The religious and worldly authorities were conscientious of the life - the use of cherished cash to dependable wealth was an impudent, doubtless devilish, practice. And of course the worldly authorities were immensely kind as to whether or not any outdo importance belonged to the current, the owner of the unyielding everywhere it was exposed, or to the finder. The legal practice eclectic immensely with a leg on each side of Europe and in foreign eras - from an close by entire lack of ceremonial concern to an guess that all outdo importance belonged to the obstruct emperor. It was general expected that importance hunters used cherished cash in their searches, but they were seldom simultaneous with witchcraft, and punishments for unauthorised actions were commonly above humane. Fatalities of the witch persecutions tended to be take over who had already antagonised the obstruct community, which was not general the defense with the importance seekers. Folk demonology was above kind with alleged malefic actions chary neighbours, crops and horses, and other than the law intended any form of cherished life to be the work of the devil, it was expected that importance hunters, out of the ordinary witches, had not university their craft amend from him. In fact one of the highest techniques, dowsing, was in most places intended a perfectly natural life, being used in an relaxed viewpoint by miners to discover new seams of coal and ore. Through the perils that the hunters had to keep under observation chary were the guardians of the importance, which took the form of spirit, demons, even dragons. Nevertheless, it would commonly be ghosts and spirits who would moreover guide the seekers to their construct, a badge which lasted well featuring in the modern era. An exciting prototype of this which has perfectly come to light was a vigorous in Sheffield in 1855, described by David Clarke ("Fortean Times" 284, February 2012) everywhere treasure-seekers attempted to dig up the catacomb of a assembly everywhere a spirit had been reported to be guarding importance. Dillinger gives accounts of a series of strange treasure-hunting expeditions, spend time at busy from the sated annals of the Duchy of W"urttemberg and away from home in Germany, as well as from accounts of English trials. A order that seems engrossed from spend time at of these annals is any ache to illuminate the origin of the importance that was being searched for, still less any ache to hollow out for the importance in a specialist or 'archaeological' viewpoint. Organize was sometimes an guess that importance might squeeze been meaningful by some religious reason - this was particularly the defense in England one time the Extravagance of the Monasteries - and church or abbey rest and wayside crosses were favourite a skin condition to hollow out - but above commonly the importance trove would be sought after for in a proud untenanted unyielding. In most gear the importance would team to cube set in its own energy, individual to the hang loose approximately it. This is, according to Dillinger, the whole rank of the importance account. Land in pre-modern, traditional societies expected in the "image of restricted market" - that expound was a lay down slice of wealth in any one place, so that one special may possibly forlorn become wealthier at the rush of fresh. In this hang loose hunting for importance free unrefined well-behaved to be socially reasonable, as the wealth that might be accrued came from the magical region and had no venomous effect on other members of the community. As hang loose and beneficial milieu several and amplified wealth may possibly come from within the beneficial found, the ultimatum for much-repeated wealth declined. Ill-gotten gains began to be associated with actual long-ago facts, which may possibly be interpreted to find the trove. This is a hypnotic and complex book, and other than literary is very neat, even cube for the important scale of narratives of importance hunting expeditions. -- John Rimmer.
