US VS THEM

I am shaking my head today in reading posts.  A friend is hosting a powerful prayer service for the full moon this month.  She posted the event here on Facebook for Oct 12, and anyone who wants to join in to pray/wish/spell for peace, prosperity, blessings to be rained down upon people can do so.  I am in favor of that.  I’ve always said that prayers are the most powerful spells I know…one prays believing that what they are petitioning for will occur…When I work, I am intent that what I am wanting to happen will do so.  Same principle.  A couple of comments caught my eye from a couple of so-called Wiccans.   They objected to the word prayer being used in a full moon timing.  What the Hell?  Semantics.  I just stated my beliefs as far as prayer goes.  Plenty of vodousaints also use actual scriptures in their workings..But these two objected because “Wiccans and pagans” don’t pray.  The hell you say.  I know some traditional Wiccans (those in coven setting) who would tell them that they are mistaken since the definition of prayer is “a solemn request or petition for help from god or object of worship”…Damn!  That sounds like spell work to me.  They showed their ignorance in their lack of knowledge of what that word actually entails or that respect for all as human beings coming together in one accord can change things.  They also said they only participated with 100% wiccan or pagans!  WTF does THAT mean?  Too often those not in a coven setting tend to pull various traditions together in an eclectic form and then still have the gall to call themselves “Wiccan” when in actuality they would be pagan because Wicca has definite things in that religion much like secular faiths.  The fact that my friend also practices vodou gave them the creeps I guess because its too dark and scary..Oh…….yet more ignorant asshats from the” love and light” brigade. (spits) One can use ANY faith to conjure demons..Think not?  Tell that to an abuse victim that placed their trust in someone in charge of a church.  Try explaining that to those who were cast out because of sexuality, race, ethnicity, or beliefs that did not coincide with those who made up the dogma of any set faith they set up.  Explain that to those who bury their family members who died in service to this country and have to run the gauntlet of those asshats who protest under the guise of doing so for “god”.  Demons are conjured all the time, they just don’t always look as one might expect them to look.  For demons/daemons, angels…they just carry different names depending upon which path one is following or whom one is asking.  My problem with people such as these two ignorant asshats is that its always a “me vs “them thing.  I can’t use certain words or do things in a particular way because its too much like the christian folk.  REALLY?  Just read a history book to see how faiths borrow from one another and are intertwined in their practices.  One goddess is called one thing in one faith, something different or even the same name in another.  Yet they claim to be two different paths.  When we start using semantics and dissecting things to separate us from one another, we build walls.  When in actuality we should be tearing them down to discover that we are ONE race,,,,,HUMAN.  ALL are deserving of respect and love.   So anything that we pick up to divide us all just impedes the work that we could be doing.  This business of sorting us all into neat little cubbyholes is nothing more than a lesson in futility.  None of us fit into any one slot, there will always be a part that doesn’t quite fit.  What then?  Kick people out of the human race because they don’t fit your idea of what they should be?  Yeah, that sounds more than a little ridiculous, but its the same as the other two with their ignorance over the word usage.   Why not try and be constructive and add your positivity to the event instead of trying to cause strife and division?  Oh wait..that would require some positive energy on your part right?  My bad..it doesn’t exist, any more than knowledge of what that phrase “love and light” means.  It’s just another example of how much ignorance and fluff is walking around tossing out glitter like confetti.  It looks and sounds pretty, but doesn’t mean shit.  Just adds more garbage to the rhetoric and mounds of crap tossed out by others with the same kind of thinking.  It’s time we cleaned that mess up..all of us and stop using it as an excuse to keep dividing  us from being the respectful, responsible human beings the universe requires us to be.

PEACE OUT
