Does anyone else keep a bible on thier Wiccan alter?

what kind?

Most recently it's been The Scriptures, by the Institute for Scripture Reasurch. It used to be a King James.

what are your goals as far as wiccan is concerned....

Christian Wiccan? A.K.A. the Trinitarian Tradition.

I went to this from being a fundamentalist Christian. Then I went headlong into paganism (with an emphasis on the Norse-Germanic tradition, but still very eclectic). Then I went back to Christian. For me, it's more about finding truth than anything else (hence what appears to be confusion).

In all reality, a Christian Wiccan is very much a Gnostic Christian (not that I am trying to group them all together) with a few variations (depending on the individual). For instance, some might still believe in a physical Yashuah (Jesus).

Are you a Christian Wiccan, or a polytheist that includes Yashuah in your belief system?

wiccans are reincarnated baptist blowhards

Wicca is a creation of Gerald Gardner with the help of Aleister Crowley. Anyone who researchs Wicca can quickly discover that it is a manufactured belief system created out of the watered-down and ancient pagan traditions from around the world but heavily leaning toward the revived Celtic or Anglo-Saxon pagan traditions.

At present it's just about maintaining spiritual peace. I got into it quit a few years ago when I was going through some major trials, partly about fighting fire with fire, partly about finding truth when the world that surrounded me was quit insane. The bible is only a few thousand years old, the old religions go much farther back.

I debated saying "wiccan alter" or "pagan alter". Not sure I would know the difference. Nor do I know what a polytheist is. I do believe in Yashuah though.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD (or goddess in this case?) THERE IS AN E ON THE END OF "QUITE"!

Sorry, just doesn't look right.

yessss

I have a King James bible next to my computer mouse to my right...

... and a Buckland's Book of Witchcraft in the hallway to freak out the maintenance guys in my apartment that enter without permission while I'm away (I used to keep a voodoo doll there too)

and a copy of the Encyclopedia Of The Occult on my beside table...

Thank you! I was hoping I was not alone :)

A monotheist believes in 1 God (these include unitarians and trinitarians and also I suppose those who believe in a dualistic single God). A polytheist believes in many gods or goddesses.

A pagan would not call their self a wiccan, but a wiccan usually loves to identify as pagan. Though the word "pagan" is actually the broader term. The term pagan is really all encompassing. It would include wiccans, druids, and any tradition that uses magic(k) (according to the modern usage of the word anyway). Generally, it is understood to be religions that are not monotheistic and/or that do not subscribe exclusively to the monotheistic God of either Judaism, Christianity, or Islam. Paganism, truly is a broad and confusing term. Too many people use it to mean beyond what it was meant to mean (hence my inability to properly define it for you - just using Webster's is not good enough anymore).

What do you believe?

a person that does not practice astral travel...

is not a serious student of the occult...

I do believe in one supreme creator. I also believe that there are lessor gods and goddesses. The very beautiful goddess Athena helped me through some of my more difficult times. She identified herself to me when I was more closely linked to the spiritual side, I still miss feeling her presence.

Getting back to reality was a big part of my survival. I had to have a life here in the real world. I have had out of body experiences. Astral travel would be cool. If not in this life, maybe next.

If you knew what is really in the bible, you'd probably throw it out.

You are definitely a polytheist who believes in a Pantheon. You might want to check this article out: [link to en.wikipedia.org]

Only you know your beliefs well enough to know whether or not you identify with one of its various branches such as monlatrism or kethenotheism.

Also, if you do not believe these gods and goddesses are actual entities then you may also be a pantheist. [link to en.wikipedia.org]

or a panentheist. [link to en.wikipedia.org]

Of course, you might not choose to identify with any of the above. Just giving you something to think about.

Merry Christmas and Blessed Yule!

Actually I don't give a rats ass what wikipedia says about anything. Sorry to be blunt but the hundreds of labels the world has put on reality has only watered it all down to nothing. By the way I don't observe "christmas", it was made up in what, the fourth or fifth century and has nothing to do with anything. I did decide to cook a nice rib roast on friday however, just because I have the day off and everything will be closed and it sounded like a good idea this year. Think I'll make some fettucini alfredo with it. My son and his girlfriend think it sounds good!

Sorry maybe to much info. That's my life- can't begin to talk about it without being written off as crazy- welcome to my world, talk to me in another year, you'll know it's the real world.

there is no real world.....

everything is mind......

If that's true than how about you use your mind to bring all the manufacturing back to the US and turn Obama and the rest of our elected leaders into Honest governers of our country? If you are truly on the level of "Illusions" by Richard Bach, Then why don't you come to my house and teach me how to join you in that.

yes

Witches who die in their sins will go to hell, like this stupid woman. THE TRICK...

and that would solve your problems?

this world has no hope.....

because it is not the real world.....

in other words....

trying to fix this world is like trying to save a sinking ship....

it`s useless....

just let it go....
