Self = All

As well as cultivating a healthy relation with yourself and your power, you must cultivate a healthy relation with others and their powers. You would be surprised as to how much we all influence each other even in the most seemingly arbitrary ways. Which brings me to an important Occult law:

Self = All

You are beautiful just for being you, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Be good to yourself and compassion for others will grow. Take care of Self and see Self everywhere.

We should be collective individuals instead of being individually collected. Stand for others, yes, but stand for you first. You are what is in your life, whatever takes place in your daily trials takes place within you and becomes a part of you. Once you start cultivating a love of Self, you begin to understand pain, strife and what it takes to become happy. You then understand struggle and will see that same struggle in others who share this life all around you…and you will love them and help them, because in doing so you are loving and helping yourself.

Mayan 2012: The Silliest Apocalypse Yet

  You know what I find interesting about people who talk about the world ending and the Mayan calendar…blah blah blah…13^th baktun….blah blah… Dec.21^st 2012…blah blah blah? Well what’s interesting to me about all that crap is that it doesn’t seem that anyone who speaks of the topic actually knows what the prophecy is or what is said to happen! No one seems to know where this silly “prophecy” came from either, the answers I usually get are “The Internet right?”, I mean  come on! You are seriously going to promote the idea that the world is going to end yet you have no actual knowledge of what, how or why this is going to take place? Silliness is what that is. Another silly thing about Mayan-calendar-catastrophe-nuts is their confusion with the Mayans and The Aztecs, for example:

  Now let’s look at the Mayans as a culture; they indulged in ritual human sacrifice to their gods and had cannibalism festivals. Yeah, good job lets believe the crazy tribe that liked to eat humans. These people could not predict the Spanish coming but yet people say they predicted the end of the world. There are also many cultures that are older than the Mayans that had catastrophe prophecies, like the Sumerians with the rise of Cthulhu which in my opinion is more likely to happen than the Mayan-2012-B.S. Other than there being excellent “end of the world” parties on 12-21-12, the day is going to be no less different than today or any other day. Thanks for tuning in for this little rant. Till next time,

The Wiccan "Beliefs" of Tytus Lionheart: Part 1

The Goddess and the God, Our Lord and Lady

·         Pray, meditate and connect with these aspects of the Great Spirit, or Universe (nature). It is natural to prefer one over the other but be sure to seek unity and understanding of both to be truly balanced and to attain true power.

·         Pray to the Lord and Lady with elaborate ritual or a simple prayer with energy and visualization; both have great values in your connection with the Goddess and the God. Do one or the other, but it is important to DO IT!

·         All of life and creation and all those beings apart of creation are children to the Lord and Lady, having the same worth and divine spark within each unique nature. The Goddess is our Soul, The God is the vessel (body), this is true of all Creation’s beings. Therefore we should be conscious of treating ourselves and all other beings in this realm with compassion and respect.

--- It is necessary to note that though compassion and respect should be the behavior of all Creation’s beings, it is not. Therefore respect and show compassion to yourself and those that deserve it first (those that treat you with the same compassion and respect). But to love Nature and all its positive and negative aspects is to show acceptance; which leads to power.

·         The Goddess and the God love you, unconditionally.

Summerland and Reincarnation

·         When a being of Creation dies, the soul rests in Summerland to process it’s experience and grow closer to it’s evolution back into the Goddess, or what is known as Divine Union. A soul is a part of  the Goddess and the Goddess is a part of the soul.

·         The soul will reincarnate into another realm of existence and may incarnate with people or beings we’ve known in other lives. We may incarnate into this realm again for many years or we may incarnate into a completely different realm of experience. It is all a part of each souls individual experience and growth.

·         Communication with the dead souls as we know them is possible, but must be done only to seek guidance or information to continue our growth and not to satisfy ego or as a way to withdraw from your responsibilities in this life.

·         Death is a part of this realm and can teach us if we are accepting to its lessons and do not fear or hide from it.

Magick

·         Magick is a practice and art form to cause change in accordance to Will. The “Will”  is willpower or desire. Magick is a gift from the Lord and Lady to find power in all realms.

·         Prayer is a form of magick called “Petition Magick” or “Divine Energy”.

·         “Magick shall not be used to bring harm, injure or control others. But if the need arises, Magick shall be used to protect your life or the lives of others.”—Scott Cunningham, “Living Wicca” This is a basic guideline for magickal ethics. It is the code of the Wiccan but its values hold different levels of constraint or merit within other magickal practitioners.

·         “Magick is used as need dictates.”--- Scott Cunningham, “Living Wicca” Good way to get positive results is not to abuse magick or use it impulsively.

·         “Use not magick for prideful gain, for doing so cheapens the mysteries of Wicca and magick.”--- Scott Cunningham, “Living Wicca”

·         Magick can be used for personal gain as long as attention is put into harming none from the outcome (this includes yourself).

·         Magick is a tool to help enrich our lives so we may grow and live a happy life. It can also teach and guide us towards strength and knowledge. Magick is a power that harmonizes our self with the Universe and creation. Through it we find ourselves, and who we truly are. Magick is transformation.
