Traditional Witchcraft and Wicca: What's the Difference?

Readers often assume that since I practice witchcraft, I must be a Wiccan. I am not. I practice Traditional Witchcraft. At Spiritual.com.au, Branwen discusses some differences between Traditional Witchcraft and Wicca.

... The first, and I believe the most important, difference between Wicca and Traditional Witchcraft is the relationship to Deity or deities. Wiccans worship a Goddess and sometimes a God, regarding them as supreme beings. Traditional Witches do not worship any entity as their superior, though they recognize the existence of other entities. They believe in the equality of all beings in the Universe, seeing them as different, separate, but never superior or inferior. This difference is often a source of confusion. A traditional witch may speak of the god and the goddess, usually referring to the female and male aspects of Nature, and while they revere and respect Nature, they do not worship it or its representatives. A Wiccan may speak in similar terms but Wiccan rituals make it clear that the Goddess and God are seen as superior beings to be worshipped. This dualism forms the basic foundation of Wiccan theology, the necessary feminine and masculine components of creative energy. Traditional Witchcraft, however, is polytheistic and animistic, incorporating a number of spirits/deities into a meaningful whole.

Traditional Witchcraft has neither the Wiccan Rede nor the Threefold Law. There is no morality test, only personal responsibility and honor. Also, there is no good or evil, only intent. Humans have the ability to make decisions and act on them, and they may choose and act with good or evil intentions. Traditional Witchcraft does not set out laws as to what actions and intentions are evil, but followers of this path take responsibility for them. In practical terms, this means that using curses, hexes, and the like are not ruled out on principle. If provoked or threatened, the Traditional Witch may act for self-preservation or the protection of family and home. These are considered honorable acts. Yet if there are negative consequences, the Traditional Witch is willing to suffer them. Read more

Magical Aphrodisiacs

The word aphrodisiac is derived from Aphrodite, the love goddess of the ancient Greeks. Aphrodisiacs were first sought out as a remedy for various sexual anxieties including fears of inadequate performance as well as a need to increase fertility. Procreation was an important social and religious issue, and aphrodisiacs were sought to insure both male and female potency.

An ancient tradition of sexual magic and practice is the custom of feeding your partner certain foods imbued with aphrodisiac properties that will arouse his or her passions. Aphrodisiac foods are ruled by the stars and exert a more potent effect if the correct foods are served to the person whose astrological sun sign agrees with the foods concerned. Thus by complying with the laws of astrology a witch can gain better results from his or her actions.

Here is a list of the most suitable aphrodisiac foods for the various astrological signs:

Nessie Spotted on Google Earth

Jason Cooke was surfing through Google Earth when he decided to look at a satellite photo of Loch Ness in Scotland and spotted an image which may be the Loch Ness monster.

An extraordinary new image on Google Earth has given fresh life to the age-old conundrum of whether Loch News really is inhabited by a monster. The image was unearthed by security guard Jason Cooke who was browsing through satellite pictures on the website, presumably on a quiet night, and has reignited the previously slumbering world of Nessieology – there have been no wavelets since a spate of sightings in 2005. Indeed, so worried had Nessieologists become that some were speculating that he/she/it might have fallen victim to climate change in the Highlands.

The object spotted by Cooke looks like a giant tadpole, with an oval body, tail and flippers. Read more

A Healing Ritual

This is a ritual for healing any health problem. This ritual is usually best performed on a waning moon, near the new moon. You cannot perform this ritual on someone else without them being present. You can, however, guide the person who needs healing to do this ritual on their own. It is only effective if the person with the ailment performs it, so it is ideal for healing yourself.

Your primary ritual tool will be an element. Choose one from the list that is most appropriate for whatever area of the body you will be healing:

Abdomen: Fire
Arms: Earth
Blood: Air
Bones: Earth
Chest: Air
Ears: Water
Eyes: Water
Feet: Earth
Genitals: Fire
Hands: Earth
Heart: Fire
Legs: Earth
Lungs: Air
Mind: Fire
Nose: Air
Skin: Earth
Stomach: Water
Teeth: Earth
Throat: Air
Uterus:
Water

You should prepare for the ritual with a bath or shower. Once you are ready, you can go to your ritual area and get ready. Your ritual area should be equipped with whatever is needed to invite the element of choice into the magic. You can use any method you want to have the element present, but if you need ideas, here is some help:

Earth: Stones, crystals, a dish of earth, or salt.
Fire: Candles or a small bonfire. (Be careful and keep a bucket of water handy for emergencies.)
Air: Incense
Water: A bowl of water will suffice, but if you can perform the ritual near a body of water like a river or lake that would be ideal.

You only need to have the element pertinent to your ritual at hand. However, if you want to invite all the elements, that is fine too. Just keep the focus on the one vital healing element.

You should dress is all white if at all possible. Cast your circle around your entire prepared ritual area. Sit in the center with your element before you. Inhale and exhale deeply and slowly to reach a meditative state. With your eyes closed, envision a pure white light surrounding you.

Now that you have entered your meditative state, take the element into your hands. (If it is water, hold it in a container; if it is fire, hold the candle; if it is air, hold the incense stick, etc.) Feel the energy of the element flowing through you. Hold the element over the general area that needs healing and envision the elemental energy flowing into that area. Visualize it being healed. Continue to allow the elemental energy to flow into the area until a feeling of peace comes over you.

It is done! Close the circle and return the element to nature. (Note: Do not blow a candle out. Pinch it or extinguish it with a bit of water.) Have an post ritual meal of cakes and wine (or bread and juice) to ground yourself.

This ritual will begin doing its work immediately, but it will not cure anything instantly. Allow it a sufficient amount of time - a week for a minor ailment, a month for a major one. If you are using any medications or supplements for your ailment, it helps to have those present during the ritual. They will be charged with elemental energy so that when you take them they will be doing twice the good.

Is There a Power Word to Summon UFOs?

There are many people in the Philippines, especially in the rural areas, who believe in power words or oracion. Is there a power word to summon UFOs?

One of the most unusual questions I’ve been asked recently came from a seminar organizer of mine in Cyprus named George, who confessed he has an obsession with UFOs (unidentified flying objects).

“Can you ask your friend, [faith healer] Alex Orbito, if there is a special phrase or prayer one can say for a UFO to appear?” wrote George. “I know it’s a long shot but we have nothing to lose by asking him.”

The reason George thought of asking if there was a power word to call on a UFO is that when he was in the Philippines to attend Orbito’s seminar last April, Alex taught him “a special phrase which when uttered and at the same time press with your thumb a lump on a patient’s body, it dissolves.” George said he had tried it and it worked. He said the healer has many magical phrases and wondered if there was one to call on UFOs to appear. Read more

A Money Spell

How many times have you said, “If only I had some extra money, life would be so easy?” if you’ve tried everything and have exhausted all opportunities, there is one more thing you can do. It’s called a money spell.

Decide on a sum of money that would fulfill your immediate financial needs and write it down on a piece of paper of the same color as your country’s currency. On the back of the paper, write your full name and your full address, if you do not currently have a permanent address, then write your date of birth. This is to ensure that the spirits do not get you mixed up with someone else by the same name.

Take the paper and soak it in pure, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and then leave it to dry. Once it has dried, take it in your hands and place it at the base of your spine. Say aloud: “I open up this center and twin my talisman with it.”

At the base of your spine, there is a psychic center of power known as a chakra. Your Muladhara or base chakra has direct influence over your finances. Place your piece of paper on a table and beside it place an ashtray or bowl. Also have a lighter or some matches handy. In a commanding voice call aloud:

Oh, spirits of the lands beyond,
Come here to me this day.
Stretch time and traverse the universe to be here.
Spirits of money, I call to thee do my bidding,
Hear my cry and hearken to my words.
Money spirits, whose power is great,
Give to me this thing I ask.
By the power of the money spirits, so mote it be!

Take the paper in your hand and light it at the corner. Once it starts to burn, place it in the ashtray or bowl and wait for it to burn out. Then take the ashes and spread them over your front path or just outside your front door.

It will not be too long before the spirits of money give what you have asked. This money spell allows you to change the direction of your financial future to better yourself and loved ones. No longer do you need to worry about paying the bills, whether you can afford to see a movie tonight, or add financial stress to an already stressful life

Everybody needs money. Magic is a way to attract the money everybody needs to survive and thrive.

Obama Mother-In-Law Practicing Witchcraft?

Times Online blogger Daniel Finkelstein comments on the rumor that Barack Obama is furious with his mother-in-law Marian Robinson for practicing Santeria in the White House. Finkelstein considers the "witchcraft in the White House" charge the worst slur against Obama yet.

There have been some spectacular Obama slurs in recent weeks. Truly, magnificently deadful. But yesterday, Townhall.com totally wiped the floor with them.

In an article that seems currently to be inaccessible, it was claimed that:

The Obama White House is abuzz with talk of witchcraft by first grandmother, 72-year-old Marian Robinson, who lives in the White House residence.

A close friend of Michelle Obama says the president is furious at his mother-in-law after learning that she was practicing Santeria, an African spirit cult, in the White House.

Yup. That’s right. Witchcraft in the White House. Read more
