Hello Wicca,

I just tried clicking on the link you posted, and it appears that something is wrong--I got the Proboards "angry bear" error message.

I wish you and yours a blessed Lammastide! As far as I know, I'm the only practicing Pagan in here (and you know practice makes purrfect), but there might be a couple amongst the many lurkers lurking about.

Hel.

Thank you so much for at least trying. Yes a great many forums are down right now. It's the weekend and the ProBoard staff are not on duty at the moment. Please do try and check us out again once things are up and running.

Thanks for letting me know, Wicca.

You might find this circa 1977 US television presentation about the occult interesting. Towards the end (around the 46 minute mark), High Priestess Morea Starbuck and her coven performed a very short Samhain ritual. As you'll see if you watch, it was a VERY edited version of what one would do on such an occasion, but I thought the High Priestess brought tremendous dignity and a sense of grace to the occasion.

Does your experience confirm what Ed Fitch asserted in the documentary above, that if you use Pagan magic to do harm against another (such as revenge for a perceived injustice), it will hit back upon the practitioner threefold?

I believe most Wiccans conform to certain ethical codes. It seems to be about self improvement, so holding yourself to a high moral standard would, logically, be part of this. Depends how serious you are I suppose.

I was born into this and am a direct descendant of Abigail Hobbs. (Salem witch trials) I do not conform to either this or that, I just am. I instruct others in my local coven and on my forum. I have learnt to harness the power that is from the universe. We all can as it is there. 

Yoshua Bar Yousef (Jesus) learnt how to harness it 2,000 years ago and thought that it somehow came from a God. He meant well, he really did.

That is well written and is somewhat the truth as far as it goes. But as for me there are no rules of conduct.....none. I do what I need to do as the circumstances call for.

Abigail Hobbs was a troubled teenager that took part in a tragedy. I wonder if the interest in this event is due to the fact it happened as we were emerging into the Enlightenment. Reason was replacing superstition.

In her trial she goes on to say that "a man" appeared and asked her to do his bidding, and that was to become a witch which she did. On further examination the court did determine in their minds that the man was indeed the devil. In her testimony she does not appear to be either troubled, confused, or unintelligent.

One gets the impression that she was telling the truth as she believed it to be.
