For me, it comes down to the “power of positive thinking”. I know that’s over simplifying it, there’s a lot more to it than that, but ...

He was Cambodian macaque. They have a life span ( as I fed and kept him ) of 40 years. Now I have Mojo. He ~ Cairn Terrier and Pug. You could not ask for a better familiar. But. Such a big butt. You can imagine with that cross there would be! That is part of his sweetness. But, such a short lifespan. Already he grows old before even me old self. What will I do without him? Familiars. So much a part of what we are. So much our sacrifice. Do they live forever? Does the first ...

Many people use the Term Witch, Pagan and Wiccan interchangably HOWEVER, your religion really doesnt dictate if your a Witch or not. You can be Pagan and not practise Magick, You can be a Witch or practioner of Magick and be Athiest Do you believe you need to follow a specific religion in order to practise magick? If so, why? and if not why not? Another part to this could be, would a Witch ...

In a religion as diverse and open to individual interpretation as Wicca (and Paganism in general for that matter), how is a phrase like this generally perceived? Should it be read and adhered to as an absolute rule, or seen more as advice or a suggestion? Is there an accepted definition of ‘harm’ observed by Wiccans ...
