Re: Enjoy a blessed Eostre everyone!

The fact that this nonexistent "goddess" is so deaf as to need reminding year in year out that this or that season is approaching - according to the neopagans it has been so for thousands of years (it hasn't: neopaganism was only cooked up a century or so ago)

Nonsense. Gerald Gardner revitalized it. However, most of the rituals and beliefs he promoted were taken straight from ancient pagan beliefs, from before the advent of christianity.

the ravings of her hallucinating mænads are the false ecstacy of harlots immersed in some outrageous horror, consumed by lust & the piquant peristalsis of depravities learned in whoredom, the gross debauch of devils and their dances lewd convulsions in the grinding maw of Hell.

Even though I do not agree with you, I really like the choice of words you're making here.

Nevertheless, my peristalsis isn't piquant in any way. I desire only to honor the Goddess with it.

I do know a young Christian man, Fred Johnson. He works for the City of Freehold, is making payments on a new pickup truck and lives with his mother. If no one else comes up with a better suggestion, I might try to arrange for them to meet.

Do you mean that guy with that dog he never managed to learn not to shit on the passenger seat? Who regularly burns his lips when accidentally putting the wrong side of his cigarette in his mouth?

Of course, for a True Christian, he's kind of an intellectual...

Mitza-- That's a wonderful idea! Mr. Harry seems perfect for Cassandra. I don't know either if he is married.

Perhaps we will find out and then determine if we can get something going. Cassandra is so fortunate to have all of us working to help make her life better.

Harry is twice my age, mr. Mould. Which means that I'm way too old for his tastes.

I am wondering if Cassandra is open to giving up witchcraft in exchange for the Christian husband we are in the process of finding for her.

Well, what do you think?

I mean, I don't want to put pressure on her, but it seem like if we are doing her this big favor, she might consider making a little change in her life as a gesture of appreciation.

I understand what you mean. But I've already done that; this year, I didn't put a rotten colored egg in Pastor Deacon Fred's mailbox, which I always did the previous years when hiding eggs. Ain't I nice?

Re: Enjoy a blessed Eostre everyone!

My impression is that neopaganism sprang from the 18th century "hellfire club" at High Wycombe.

By about 1900 certain mental-cases (ex-Brethren as it happens) swiped some of the earlier libidinous mumbo-jumbo, appended some rubbish of their own, squabbled among themselves, fragmented into various splinter groups POOF! one or two such groups claim an ancient lineage - but they have not magically re-materialised after a millennium or 3. They are modern.

As I say, that is just my impression. I don't know any more about the goldendawn travesty than I do about ancient IIštar/Astarte cults. We know that temple prostitutes were associated with the cult in its numerous forms in divers cultural settings. Harlot cults always seem popular for some reason. But actual cultic practices are obscured rather, by the mists of time.

Something I do know about, though, is the reconstruction of ancient musical scales. Some congregations like to sing psalms in early Hebrew modes fpr example. But we don't know what they were. There is some information available, but it is very far from complete & sources are not equally reliable. Finding a flute would be more useful than finding a harp because the flute has holes in so you could play it (or calculate) to see what notes it was able to produce whereas you wouldn't know how the harp was tuned. There are other techniques, and you get a vague sort of idea, but we can't reproduce the ancient Hebrew scale.

I imagine that ancient debauch cults would be similarly difficult to reconstruct. Apart from guessing what activities might be expected from sacred prostitutes, there isn't much to go on. Fragmentary evidence here and there.

Neopaganism can only ever be that: NEO

We do know however that it confronts Gods tendermercies with the filth of blanket whoredom and the bilious ire of indiscriminate murder - such is recorded in The Bible, and that is enough for me.

How foolish to reject His beautiful lovingkindness!

Re: Enjoy a blessed Eostre everyone!

Blessed Eostre!

This is a very powerful prayer against Witchcraft. This prayer can shut down witches and satanists forever. Being that this prayer basically shuts down the senders of the hexes and vexes by returning their evil to them sevenfold.

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

Then your impression is wrong. Do you really think that the Masons came up with all our rituals and beliefs?

No one "invented" wicca or neopaganism, it has always been there, in various forms. The Masons introduced many new concepts, as did Gerald Gardner, as did Aleister Crowley, because our religions, unlike less enlightened monotheistic religions, constantly change as the world changes, to stay in tune with Nature.

I know that the practitioners of the Craft have been persecuted through the centuries, which is why little about their ideas have been preserved. I personally think that neo-paganist religions are, if not a direct continuation, a reincarnation of ancient pagan beliefs. Again, it is logical that it is vastly different, as the world is vastly different now.

As I say, that is just my impression. I don't know any more about the goldendawn travesty than I do about ancient IIštar/Astarte cults. We know that temple prostitutes were associated with the cult in its numerous forms in divers cultural settings. Harlot cults always seem popular for some reason. But actual cultic practices are obscured rather, by the mists of time.

Well, there are many ways to honor the Goddess, and being a temple prostitute is only one of them.
I myself are primarily interested in Celtic and Native American spirituality, though I intend to learn more about Middle Eastern paganism, as it was the Middle East where the destructive, spiritually barren cults of islam and christianity originated, and where the religions existed that are condemned in the bible, and therefore are likely to have some truth in them.

Something I do know about, though, is the reconstruction of ancient musical scales. Some congregations like to sing psalms in early Hebrew modes fpr example. But we don't know what they were. There is some information available, but it is very far from complete & sources are not equally reliable.

There are other techniques, and you get a vague sort of idea, but we can't reproduce the ancient Hebrew scale.

The music we play is usually in the double harmonic scale, because of the spiritual tension it evokes.

I imagine that ancient debauch cults would be similarly difficult to reconstruct. Apart from guessing what activities might be expected from sacred prostitutes, there isn't much to go on. Fragmentary evidence here and there.

It is very simple, in fact. The Mother Goddess can open your eyes to True Spirituality, and that is how we reconstruct them. But then again, we do not claim to be exactly the same, and neither should we.

We do know however that it confronts Gods tendermercies with the filth of blanket whoredom and the bilious ire of indiscriminate murder - such is recorded in The Bible, and that is enough for me.

Indeed, indiscriminate murder is unheard of in the Bible. Midian? Amalek? Never head of.

No. Freemasonry has pagan elements in it I suppose, but it was the hellfire club(s) that got people interested in the possibilities of saturnalia & organised debauchery.

Well I was saying that it is not a reincarnation of anything ancient. It is satanic of course, but Satan has had a continuous history since his initial foul transmogrification and is not in need of reincarnation. The world is the same now as it's always been.

Ecclesiastes 1
9 The thing that hath beene, it is that which shall be: and that which is done, is that which shall be done; and there is no new thing vnder the sunne.
10 Is there any thing, whereof it may be sayd, See, this is new? it hath beene already of olde time, which was before vs.
11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there bee any remembrance of things that are to come, with those that shall come after.

Murder is a type of unlawful killing. When God smote the Amalekites, that was not unlawful killing. I'd have thought that was obvious since it was their non-compliance with God's Law and their rejection of His Perfect Love that produced those consequences - consequences that God had warned of and which were avoidable. God is not a murderer

Jeremiah 9:24 But let him that glorieth, glory in this, that hee vnderstandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise louingkindnesse, iudgement and righteousnesse in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.

Prostitution is not glorious in any way. It honours nothing. God tells us that all prostitutes should be killed.

Leviticus 19:29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.

You seem to be really obsessed with debauchery, even though I'm behaving reasonably decent usually, even to christian standards (for starters, I'm still a virgin). Are there some repressed frustrations there, Mitza?

Well, then it wasn't murder according to the bible. According to basic human morality, of course, it still was. If all people started to kill other people because of "non-compliance with their laws" (in other words, simply disagreeing with them), the world would be a bleak place to live in.

God restricting women to do with their bodies what they like is acting on basis of "Love?"

And why should it be her father's business what she is doing? My father doesn't have a clue what I'm doing either. If I would become a prostitute, is he to be blamed?

Miss Cassandra, could we get together sometime for lunch? I would love to talk with you about your Goddess, she sounds are more compassionate than my Christian God.

Of course! Take the highway towards Davenport, and turn right on the sandy forest road with the sign that says "No entrance! Trespassers will be shot and sent to Hell!" I'll meet you at the banks of the little brook beside the road!

Sophia--I know your intentions are good, but dealing with the likes of Cassandra is really a job for a man.

That is why we are still working on our "Find Cassandra a Man Project". We think a fine young Christian man would put an end to her interest in Pagan witches.

While she has rejected our offers of help so far, we know that Jesus will speak to her in time.

Has anyone been able to find out whether Mr. Lester is married? I'm sure he could find lots for her to do in connection with his youth ministry in between producing sons.

I had one or two messages from Brother Hank too, recently - and he does seem like a lovely young man, very well suited but I'm not
sure of his marital status either.

As for Brother Lester, I'm not sure of his marital status, but would you want Cassandra around YOUR children?

Brother, I would like to offer my assistance in helping you find a suitable True Christian(tm) man for Cassandra the Hellbound Harpie.

I realize there is a shortage of eligible bachelors in Freehold. No doubt, this is making it much more difficult to find a husband for Cassandra. I can help!

As you may recall, I am an eligible bachelor with his own congregation in North Salem, Indiana. I have my own house, and a steady, rock-solid income. My church is well-funded, and I have amassed an endowment which is the envy of all Indiana. I'm sure I would make a wonderful husband for Sister Lycia the Repentant, the Experienced, and the Recently Tested STD-Free, according to Pastor Ezekiel.

My marriage to Sister Lycia would reduce the competition for Cassandra, who could then choose from any of the remaining True Christian(tm) men presently unwed: Brother Cranky, Old Man Hatchet, BAB, Aaron Portway, and yourself.
