Then maybe we wouldn't have so many terrified fundamentalists of ANY religious path, and people really could live in peace with each others' different beliefs.Lucretiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489662765492879926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554473301545726020.post-86839720299290911012013-08-07T10:39:52.980-07:002013-08-07T10:39:52.980-07:00i completely agree with you. these entities do not...i completely agree with you. these entities do not exist to harm us. in fact they can help us in ways the deities of light cannot. i am quite fond of the black isis myself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471796903000260028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554473301545726020.post-15895179302817443682013-08-06T16:30:07.068-07:002013-08-06T16:30:07.068-07:00What a shame!

We both know how miserable it can be to get involved in those "white magick/black magick" debates, because no one ever wins, people just get angry, and they serve no useful purpose. While I certainly don't run around throwing hexes and curses and nasty energy at people, I see nothing wrong with putting up "keep-away" spells or charms as protection, just in case. I don't see it as bad if it ONLY works on people who approach with bad intentions.

Since we ARE part of nature (no matter how much we deny it), it would be smart to accept it.<br /><br />I'll be posting other pagan stuff, I'm sure. I just don't want to put too much out there that's not somehow goth-related. But if you have any questions, feel free to ask! :-)Lucretiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489662765492879926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554473301545726020.post-82363793301175596042013-08-06T16:14:49.825-07:002013-08-06T16:14:49.825-07:00VERY dull indeed! ;-) We can't truly appreci...VERY dull indeed! ;-) We can't truly appreciate the light OR the dark if it's the only thing there is. I'm not sure I'd use the word 'interesting', though. I have a terror of that Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times."! But I have a feeling we're already doing that.<br /><br />Yes, I've checked my spam folder, thanks for asking! I have absolutely NO idea why it showed up as an e-mail but not as a comment; you'd think it would be the other way round, wouldn't you??

Like you, I got tired of all the lovey dovey associated with many so-called witches. I remember catching criticism for expressing my thoughts about hanging ghouls from tree branches around my place. One local witch I know thought it unethical.<br /><br />"Why is it unethical to use ghouls to keep thieves and dangerous people away from my house?" I asked. "Who am I hurting? If someone intends to rob me and is deterred because my strategically placed ghoulish guardians unnerve them...well good!"<br /><br />She of course, uttered something about it being black magick. I just let it drop.

I don't know much about it. <br />I spend much of my time in the forest, garden, in the nature. One thing I have picked up is, that it is full of energy, life and death. The life part couldn't exist if it wasn't for the death part, that how life is in general. <br />linnea-mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07378511815400433196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554473301545726020.post-2459370393462462942013-08-05T21:46:34.963-07:002013-08-05T21:46:34.963-07:00Good point!

It's the light AND shade that makes things interesting... even if interesting isn't always easy!<br /><br />About the comment that didn't show up on the post... have you checked your spam folder? Blogger occasionally takes a perfectly unspammy comment and files it under spam. :)Little Gothic Horrorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18315631250163742387noreply@blogger.com
