Those of you who know me know that I do not tolerate lack-of-thinking well. How is it, then, that this lack-of-thinking has come to surround us all? I call it that, instead of 'stupidity' or 'ignorance', because that is what it is: pure lack of concious thought. Society now is more akin to that of knee-jerk reaction instead of thinking out the consequences of actions... and, I restate, how in the name of the Blessed Goddess did we arrive at this sad sad state of affairs?
It is simple. We, as a society, were led there. We gave up our power of cognitive conciousness to the television, and chose to accept blindly the spew that it produced. Since this is easily the third generation that has been enslaved to the Idiot Box, now we do not have the overall ability to question the pap that issues forth from it, infecting our souls to the point that we no longer communaly have the desire to further our own thinking processes.
This has allowed those who seek to control every aspect of our lives, virtually unlimited access to our concious thought, manipulating it in ways both subtle and overt. We heap praises upon a leader that sends our sons and daughters, our sisters and brothers, our husbands and wives, off to foreign lands so that they are put in harm's way... attacked by forces funded by the same governmental entities that placed our troops in these far-away places! And for what end? Certainly not the ideals of Freedom, Justice, Balance, and Harmony...
How, as Pagans in this modern age, can we attempt to bring this madness under control? Or, as some have asked of me, should it be brought under control at all?
We will discuss that in the next offering... until then, hold fast to your God or Goddess and the Magicks Mystical that bind us all together.
Blessed Be!

Religion and Societal Control
There's currently a discourse going on (on an Internet radio & chat circuit) about how the Church(es) are only in it for the money and not in it for the 'salvation and redemption' of their members. Currently taken to task is the Catholic Church, but, believe you me, there are many many other churches out there that are just as guilty... not only guilty of 'fleecing the flock' for money, but, in a larger sense, societal control!
For many many years, religions have exerted manipulatory control over the masses. I don't need to go into the massive particulars (including the putting to death of the man who translated the christian bible from Greek into English... Tyndall was his name), but suffice it to say that there have been, and still currently are, examples of manipulating the words of Y'hwh, or Mohammed, or whomever, into whatever societal rules and restrictions that a mortal man with delusions of power can devise.
As a brief note, consider this: The State as God. It is happening now. The US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is currently training clergy (in secrecy) to quell any dissent in their churches, especially any anti-Governmental dissent. Since most churches are under the control of Federal mandates involved with their non-profit status (the 501(c)3 debacle), resistance has been little to none. This would basically let the Federal Government extend their ominous reach through the churches to further subjugate the citizenry. What's wrong with this picture? For starters, many of the trained-monkey clergy are invoking the name of God while handing over their souls to the power-hungry Globalists!
This is one of the reasons I have been staying well away from any kind of 'organized religion', per se. There comes a time, however, when those of similar faith do need to congregate, at least for fellowship and networking... if nothing else, to compare notes on what kind of societal garbage is affecting them the most, and share tips on how to circumvent the efforts of a False CHurch to subjugate our will, both individually and collectively.
As a Dark Mage once told me during my time in their Order: "Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire." As Her Priest, I then put forth to you readers this: the formation of Her Temple, House and Order. I propose that a way of teaching the Old Pagan Ways be done, and also for those who would kneel unto Her, an Inner Sanctum where Her Rites could be performed. No fancy buildings, keep things in Balance, do these in Her Honour, not for any mortal.
What say ye?

An Awakening
OK, peoples, here's the deal.
I have been futzing about for long enough now, thinking about a strictly-Pagan blog for teaching and getting people to start ramping up their metaphysical abilities. I have been putting this off and putting this off and putting this off for way too long now, long enough that a certain Goddess has kicked me in the ass to the point that I am finally setting this up.
For those of you expecting Patriotica, go to the blog of the impaler... granted there may be some crossover from the old stuff there, but I'll try to get the most relevant things from there to here.
For those of you who don't know me from my (currently on permanent hiatus) radio show, here's a bit of a metaphysical CV: I accepted my Blessed Goddess about 10 years ago, after being thoroughly put off by the path of Y'shua Y'hovah bin Yhwh (Jesus, for those of you who aren't Hebrew scholars), I never found peace or fulfillment in that path. Now, this is not saying that I don't think there IS a Deity who goes by Yhwh, nor do I think that the whole Jesus thing is carbuncles... (1) I thoroughly am of the belief that a Deity can insert His or Her Essence into an unborn womb, and have that Essence walk the Mortal Plane... and (2) I acknowledge Yhwh but I choose not to kneel to Him in primacy.
Since then I have found the abilities I had experienced before accepting Her Call to be greatly amplified, as well as much more purposeful, both for my life and for those around me. She brings Peace and Balance to me, and I hope that She may do the same for Her other Followers.
Who is She? She is Mac'ha, Blessed Protector of the Celts and Bringer of Prosperity to their Fields. She is also known as the Crow in some of the Druidic writings of the 11th ans 12th Centuries.
Pardon the brevity of this posting, I'll continue it shortly....
