Religious Discrimination: why are people so hateful?

-


Throughout history, there has been Religious Discrimination.  What amazes me the most is that people in Christianity who follow Jesus seem to be the most hateful people in the world.  

When I was in a Christian religion I was horrified and disgusted that they would teach to love one another.

Literally when I was Christian this scripture was shoved down my throat weekly:

“I give you a new commandment: love one another. Just as I have loved you, you must also love one another” John 13:34  

I will never understand why these religious zealots are so hateful.  Most of the time they are the ones treating women horribly (sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse). How the LGBTQIA community is treated, I can't even grasp the hate that is thrown that direction.  And. then we get into the Religious Discrimination.  If you don't fit in their perfect Christian cult they will be horrible to you.

Earlier I received the email above.  If you are in the Pagan community, you understand that we worship the elements, nature and try to spread love.  Then you get ignorant messages.  We don't go to their Christian Churches and point out their extreme hypocrisy they have and the hate that fills their veins.  

Part of the reason I left Christianity was because they would say "love one another" but there is zero unconditional love. It is full of hate and judgement. 

If these people ever read the Bible they would know that sending emails like the one above, the hate and discrimination they show to any non Christian belief, abuse women and children, and the numerous abuses they place on LGBTQIA community doesn't fall under the new testament or the teachings of their Jesus.

This hate needs to stop. Clearly they don't understand the words in the Bible if they continue to attack protected groups.

This does need to stop. It is not okay.

I ask that all minorities, Pagans, Wiccans, Women, LGBTQIA stand up! Our voices need to be heard. The hate spewed by these people needs to stop. It is not okay.

Successful Candle Magic

 I am constantly asked about candle magic.  The biggest thing I am asked is typically about how the candle melted or lack of melting. Most recently a client, did a jar spell and indicated that " The candle didn't melt well, it wasn't nearly as drippy  ".   This particular client then left their cast circle to search for a candle to make the candle "drippy" and "melt well". Will this spell work for this client?  No.  This is because they had high expectations for the way they wanted the candle wax to "look" and to "melt". They wanted the candle wax to be "drippy".   I have had clients play with their wax because the candle was melting asymmetrically and they wanted it to melt  symmetrically. There are also the spells that the candle melted too fast or two slow. In one situation, the client sent me a picture but had chipped away at the "unwanted" wax melts. They said that the spell didn't work in addition t

  One question most of my beginning witchcraft students ask me is what books are good to read when just starting this spiritual pathway. There are so many amazing books out there by many spiritually strong occult practitioners. This was a hard list to narrow down I could have easily done a top 100. However, I limited it to six books to help determine your pathway and two books that I highly recommend that every witch should have in their practice. The six books I recommend for those new to the path, I am recommending to help you pick your path.  When I started my first teacher recommended several Wiccan books. I would have appreciated a few more book recommendations on other traditions. I picked just a few to get you started. They are listed in the order that I recommend reading them to help you get that jumpstart. Six Beginning Witchcraft Books 1.
