Enjoy a blessed Eostre everyone! -
03-18-2011, 05:25 PM
Hello, Christians. I've decided to visit once again to spread some of the Wisdom of the Godhead in this mundane, spiritually void place you call a forum.
The Goddess Eostre brings rebirth to all life on Earth. I hope I'll spot her this year!
The Earth Egg
Eostre is approaching! Next Monday, on the 21st of March, we will celebrate the birth of new life everywhere on the northern hemisphere. At that moment, night and day are in perfect balance, because the Earth Egg stands on its end, and is going to tip over towards the Light Phase of the Wheel of the Year. (we call the Earth the Egg of the Goddess).
It is partly because of this that so many people worldwide still celebrate the first day of Spring by hiding and seeking eggs. Eggs are a pagan symbol of the rebirth of the Earth every year, and belong to the attributes of the Spring Goddess Eostre, together with the rabbit. Eostre is also known as Ostara in Scandinavia, Astarte in Greece, Asherah in ancient Canaan (the female companion of El and later Yahweh, before she was rejected by a misogynic priesthood) and Ishtar in ancient Babylon. In this season was Ishtar's son Tammuz reborn, signifying the rebirth of life during Spring, an idea that was later reworked by Christians in their Jesus resurrection myth.
The magickal egg ritual
There is one very enlightening thing you can do at your kitchen table on the 21st of March to witness the spiritual rebirth of the earth: take an egg, and put it on its end, before the moment of Eostre. At the exact moment the Vernal Equinox occurs, you will see that it tips over (actually I haven't done this myself; but my fellow wiccan, Sister Dragonsong, tells us here that it works that way).
How to celebrate Eostre
Like with all wiccan sabbaths, there are many kinds of food, herbs and gemstones associated with Eostre.
We should eat leafy green vegetables, Dairy foods, Nuts such as Pumpkin, Sunflower and Pine, Flower Dishes and Sprouts. In consuming these products of the earth, we become spiritually aligned with nature once again, which is the point of Eostre. I always feel the Peace of Eostre fill my soul especially when eating sunflower nuts and rhubarb, so I can recommend those!
Herbs and flowers we traditionally associate with Eostre are Daffodil, Jonquils, Woodruff, Violet, Gorse, Olive, Peony, Iris, Narcissus and all spring flowers. Actually, the garland of flowers I wear in my hair in my avatar picture is also an Eostre Garland, made from herbs and flowers from my own magickal garden, which protects me against negative energies, like anger and jealousy, which otherwise would disturb the balance between my Yin and Yang.
Of course, there is also a Sacred Gemstone associated with Eostre: Rose Quartz, or Roselle. I wear a necklace of these during spring ceremonies because of the mystic qualities it transfers:
Quote:
Roselle initiates a deep purification of the emotional body, thereby helping release the emotional limitations that hinder personal growth and happiness. Roselle’s energy enters the wave-like flows in the emotional body. There, it dislodges suppressed and unacknowledged feelings, gently transforming them into flowing energy that can be released through healthy emotional expression. This purification removes the emotional causes of physical illness and helps you grow more in touch with your true emotional nature.
|
I can recommend this as well to everyone reading this! The healing capacities of gemstone therapy are greater than that of either prayer or medical science.
I would like to finish with the words of Sister Dragonsong again:
CELEBRATE!
Out of the darkness of despair, out of the bleak dim days, LIFE returns! In colour, bright freshness, sweet fragrance... carrying joy in its wings!
LIFE! The Goddess RETURNS!!
AWAKE!! CELEBRATE LIFE in all its beauty! . . .The opening heart as it gazes into a baby's smile.The joyful frolicking of lambs and calves and infants of all kinds.
The lift of birdsong to the soul!
The tender thrill of beauty in bright blossoms!
The sap rising in the trees like love!
The opening up of the Earth, and the spaces within us!!
Coming from the depths of winter's darkness, we know: Death Happens.
And coming up into Spring again, we know even more: LIFE IS!
C E L E B R A T E ! !
Let the Light in to brighten all your dusty corners. Sweep out the residues of pain, regret, and doubt, wherever they may hide. Come BACK, to LIFE.
You are being called!
Every ray of sunlight knows your name. Every flower calls you. Every chirp and swoop of wing is an invitation. You are invited! To the gala which is LIFE on this beauteous, gracious, luscious green-blue planet-Goddess we call Gaia the Mother Earth.
Wake up!! Celebrate Her return!
Celebrate the exuberant dance of Life!
And hear Gaia cry to you:
Welcome . . . Beloved!
May Gaia's Life-Giving Smile be over the lives of all of you!
Miss Cassandra
An it harm none, do what thou wilt.
And therefore let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honour and humility, mirth and reverence within you.

So according to your gods, the pumpkin is a nut... and talking of nuts: Miss Cassandra (if that is your name) you need a spell checker both for your words and for the evil spells you cast.
Enough with your pagan ways!

Miss Cassandra, why do you persist in believing in a bunch of fairy tales, when the factual Word of God is right there for you in the KJV Bible? It is simply mind-blowing that anyone would believe a bunch of nonsensical babbling such as what you've posted.
You don't have to read very far in the Bible to find that your whole fairy tale version of things is a lie...in fact, the very first verse tears your whole house of cards down:
( Genesis 1:1) "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
It doesn't say He created heaven and EGG.
Yours in Christ,

Hello, and welcome to God's Favorite Forum!
What church do you go to? How did you come to find Jesus? What's your favorite Bible verse?
I hope you enjoy your stay!
The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.~Joel 1:12

I mean the seeds of the vegetables I mentioned. But never mind, just eating pumpkins is spiritually refreshing as well, especially for a soul that withers under the putrefying hatred of the Bible, like yours.

I can tell you that wiccans around the world share these insights. And your intellectual ancestors, the early Christians, apparently didn't really think that our ideas were "nonsensical babbling," seeing how much of it they adapted to build their own Springtime Resurrection Myth.
And if it was nonsense, then how do you explain the Magickal Egg Ritual?

No, it doesn't. That's what it should say.
Also, unlike Christianity, which claims that the earth is flat, we wiccans realize that the world is egg-shaped, a concept supported by modern science.

I was trying to give you a fresh start because I felt sorry for you.
I know what it's like to be rejected. I am familiar with the pain, humiliation, and despair you are experiencing, that desperate, gnawing hunger that can never be satiated, that void that can never be filled. I know.
I... I was just trying to give you a new beginning, a chance to belong. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for caring.
I'm sorry for everything. I hope I die soon, then you people can't hurt me anymore, and GOD will hold me and love me and tell me I'm special and I'll finally be able to smile and laugh, ha ha! I can't wait, I CAN'T WAIT TO DIE!

NEOPAGANISM didn't exist at the time of the early Church. I think you're getting confused with the IŠTAR/ASTARTE prostitution cult. Talk about daughters of sin!
Proverbs 7 6-27
For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows. Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey: He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

Did you just tell us to enjoy a blessed estrus? That is beyond disgusting.
This church is dedicated to preaching True Christianity™ and the King James Bible exactly as they are, with no alterations to make them more politically correct for modern liberals. If you think that we've misquoted or twisted Scripture or quoted any verse out of context, please explain in detail how we've done so.

I realize the Pastors here tolerate this kind of thing with a sense of humor given how ridiculous it is, but I wouldn't encourage this witch. The next thing you know she will be inviting her friends from the Church of the Priapus to sign up and post here.

Father,
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I plead the precious uncorruptable blood of Jesus over myself and my church and everything that belongs to us. I ask for giant warrior Angels to be loosed from Heaven to surround and protect us. As your war club and weapons of war I break down, undamn, and blow up all walls of protection around all witches, warlocks, wizards, satanists, and the like, and I break the power of all curses, hexes, vexes, spells, charms, fetishes, physic prayers, physic thought, all witchcraft, sorcery, magic, voodoo, all mind control, jinxes, potions, bewitchments, death, destruction, sickness, pain, torment, physic power, physic warfare, prayer chains, and everything else being sent my way or my family members way, and I return it and the demons to the senders right now!, SEVENFOLD, and I BIND it to them by the Blood of Jesus!
Father, I pray that these lost souls will find the light of your son Jesus.. Their own snares and traps have been set against themselves.. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I now loose them from all mindcontrol of satan!.. Father I also ask that you Bind the Holy Spirit to there hearts as a guide to your son Jesus.. So they may be set free from the bondages of satan.
In Jesus name I pray..
Amen

So will I, Sister!
Can I borrow some Jasmine from you, by the way? It doesn't really seem to do well in my own magickal garden, and if we burn incense without Jasmine, I'm afraid the Horned Hunter will never notice our celebrations...

That was a false accusation, thoroughly disproved. Are you telling me that growing Jasmine is illegal now as well?
I knew you were going to ask that. I haven't heard from him since the elections. But I listen to the Voice of the Wind often, and it tells me that his soul now has found the peace and serenity it never found while he lived in Freehold. He was a good friend, and I will never forget him.
How are you doing, Jimmy? Still being the Pastors' faithful sidekick in keeping the theocracy going?
