Wildercraft, Crazy Quilt Purses and Things Proto-Indo-European Religion Alchemy Works Oils, Incense, Herbs and Seeds for Magic THE DRUZE AND VEDIC ORIGINS Abstract by Dr. David Wolf A serendipitous, though intensive, case study of Israeli Druze reveals striking similarities between Vedic and Druze philosophy and culture. This article uses these congruities as a springboard for researching Druze origins. In 1988 I went to northern Israel, not as a student of religious history, but as a book distributor. On several occasions we met with the late Sheik Tarif Amin, former world spiritual leader of the Druze. Salman Falach, Druze Minister of Education in Israel, purchased hundreds of Srila Prabhupada's books for Druze schools and libraries. We spoke with many Druze sheiks and intellectuals, and they shared deeply with us. Kamal Jumbalat, the late Druze political hero and renowned spiritualist, often extolled Krsna, the Bhagavad-gita, the Ramayana, and other Vedic books and personalities in his writings (Dasa, 1994, p. 219). Even on esoteric points, sheiks would surprise us with parallels between Vedic and Druze understandings. By Dr.
Casting a Circle The Purposes of a Circle A sacred circle has several purposes, the most significant of which is to define an area where formal ritual work can be performed. A circle is a place in which the rules and conditions are different to that of the everyday world. A circle is not a barrier, but a doorway to another world. To contain any magickal energy raised and to prevent its dissipation until it has been used up is another purpose of the circle. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. This completes the casting of your circle. How to Close a Circle Go to the North, hold up your blade, and say, “Guardians and spirits of the North wind, my ritual is now complete. Extinguish your altar candles and bow your head at the altar, saying, “I declare this scared circle closed. What is Thou looking for?
Article 'Genius' dans le dictionnaire Daremberg et Saglio (1877) Les premiers témoignages relatifs au culte du Genius dans la religion romaine ne remontent pas au delà de la seconde guerre Punique ; et il n'en est point où l'on ne sente l'influence des idées helléniques sur le Daemon et bientôt celle des doctrines stoïciennes. Il n'en est pas moins incontestable que le genius a fait partie avec les Lares, les Pénates et les Mânes des plus anciennes divinités du Latium. Souvent confondu avec ces esprits d'essence latine et romaine, il semble désigner un genre dont ils sont les espèces, la notion générale dont ils détaillent les aspects divers. Etymologiquement, les anciens ont rattaché le nom de genius à gens, geno ou gigno quelquefois, par une erreur de linguistique qui n'est pas sans intérêt pour l'explication du rôle de genius, à gero. Il est la force qui engendre au point de départ et qui conserve dans leur individualité propre jusqu'à leur destruction et l'être de l'homme et les êtres de raison que l'homme s'est forgés à sa propre image.

Ierogamia La ierogamia o hieròs gámos (dal greco ιερογαμία, ἱερὸς γάμος, «matrimonio sacro») di cui è sinonimo teogamia (dal greco θεογαμία, composto da θεο-, theo-, e -γαμία, -gamía, cioè «matrimonio divino») indica il matrimonio tra due dei o tra un dio e un mortale. In un'altra accezione del termine, indica un rito sessuale in cui due o più partecipanti umani rappresentano la sacra unione o sizigia (congiunzione) tra un dio e una dea.[2][3][4] «In generale l'orgia corrisponde alla ierogamia. All'unione della coppia divina deve corrispondere, sulla terra, la frenesia generativa illimitata. [...] Gli eccessi rappresentano una parte precisa e salutare nell'economia del sacro. La nozione di hieros gamos non presuppone necessariamente una prestazione effettiva nei rituali, ma è utilizzato anche in un contesto puramente simbolico o mitologico, in particolare in alchimia e quindi nella psicologia analitica junghiana.

My Nature Goddess Crown The Real Meaning of Egregore The word "Egregore" derives from the Greek word egrégoroi, meaning "watchers," which also transliterates as "Grigori." The word appears in the Septuagint translation of the Book of Lamentations, as well as the Book of Jubilees and the Book of Enoch. Even being derived from the word Grigori, which acquired a somewhat negative aspectation over the time, the general concept of Egregore is not evil. Gaetan Delaforge, in Gnosis Magazine in 1987, defines an Egregore as a kind of group mind which is created when people consciously come together for a common purpose. When a group of people pray and meditate collectively towards an objective, an Egregore of protection and blessing is sent forth, as a circle of Light that shields and safeguards the purpose of the prayers. Psychologically speaking, an Egregore is that "atmosphere” or "personality" that develops among groups independent of any of its members. An Egregore can be personal or collective.
